Chapter 580: Chapter 198 Camilla, long time no see_3

Drifting along, the sound of water beside my ears changed ever so slightly.

It was then that Leonard Churchill realized a tributary had appeared.

Leading the way, Noah Wright had already drifted down the tributary, entering into the rocks.

Following suit, Leonard Churchill and his companion also drifted in.

The Dark River was completely underground by now; looking up, wet and cold rocks were about half a meter above, giving off an extremely oppressive feeling.

The map of Alternate Dimension was an open map, so vast it seemed without boundaries.

The three of them didn’t know where they would end up.

Leonard Churchill noted the path as he drifted and observed the washed patterns on the rock walls.

Were there specks of black metal sheen on the rock wall, possibly secret iron ore?

“It should be inside the Holy Spirit Mountain Range…”

Estimating the distance, Leonard Churchill felt a vague sense of anticipation.

This place should be near the Ghost Wind Cavern.

He had considered climbing over the mountain before.

But he never imagined he would drift here through the underground dark river.

Quite suddenly, the river’s current became turbulent.

Ahead, there seemed to be a waterfall with a large drop!

The sound of rushing water reached his ears, and Leonard Churchill noticed they were drifting faster and faster.

Facing the unknown waterfall, that intense tingling sensation of fear shot to the extreme in an instant.

At one moment, Leonard Churchill found himself carried by the current, suddenly leaping into mid-air.

This was a deep underground waterfall.

After seemingly taking two steps in the air to halt his motion, he plunged into the water with a “splash”.

Listening to the echoes around, it seemed like a giant underground cavern.

As Leonard Churchill wondered where he was, Enlightenment also appeared.

‘Discovery of “Ghost Wind Cavern Underground River” expedition progress increased by an additional +15%’

“Huh!”

Seeing Enlightenment, Leonard Churchill’s heart soared.

Because only when a map unknown to the plot was discovered would Enlightenment display an increased expedition progress.

That meant they were in the right place!

And since it was additional exploratory progress, it implied that it was outside the main storyline.

But the hint was “Ghost Wind Cavern Underground River”, and it was completely tied up with the plot.

Noah Wright and the enigmatic archer also saw Enlightenment the moment it appeared, their expressions lifting simultaneously.

The three left the water and made their way to the shore.

At that time, Noah Wright discovered something and softly exclaimed, “Look, footprints!”

Leonard Churchill saw them too, footprints on the ground.

In a place where nobody had been for countless years, all traces were stable; any foreign marks simply couldn’t be concealed.

Or erased.

Seeing the footprints meant that the “important person” had indeed been there.

All previous speculations were correct.

Realizing this, Leonard Churchill glanced at his companion, Mushroomhead, with wet hair and mused, “We really found it, huh…”

Indeed, it was outrageous to have discovered it through such a leap of faith.

The three didn’t speak much, instead holding their breath, observing their surroundings with the utmost care.

They then followed the direction of the footprints into the gloomy dark passage.

The deeper they went, the more they felt a mysterious aura enveloping them.

Leonard Churchill also guessed what the plot item related to the Holy Grail in the plot legend held by the “important person” might be.

It was probably the [Map] to this place.

Otherwise, with such a mode of entry through a winding path, it would be impossible to find this place without a map.

All around were natural caverns, but it wasn’t long before the three saw man-made structures.

It was a tombstone engraved with writing.

At the same time, Enlightenment once again made an appearance.

‘Discovery of “Hero’s Tomb” additional exploration progress +23%’

…

With Enlightenment’s prompt, Leonard Churchill and his companions guessed this might be the tomb of some powerful figure.

It seemed that the Holy Grail was inside the tomb.

The three were in no hurry to go in but stopped in front of the stele to take a look.

Noah Wright took out a notebook and pen, apparently wishing to record the epitaph.

The enigmatic archer was silent while watching.

Leonard Churchill, however, looked more and more solemn.

Because he understood the content on the epitaph.

Seeing Leonard Churchill’s grave expression, Noah Wright guessed something and asked, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, can you understand it?”

Since Enlightenment did not translate, it must be a clue outside of the storyline.

Leonard Churchill didn’t deny and nodded, “Yes.”

It was the Delaney Language; after pillaging the collection of Mage Rolan last time, he had virtually learned the language while browsing through those classic books.

Hearing this, Noah Wright could not hide his admiration and exclaimed, “Wow… that’s amazing. I’ve only seen some fragmented rubbings of this ancient language in the Federation library. But they were too fragmented, utterly indecipherable. Moreover, currently, no scholar in the Federation understands this lost script.”

“…”

Leonard Churchill listened but said nothing.

He always had this feeling that the civilizations within Alternate Dimension might have truly existed.

Or perhaps, are they existing in some form?

He thought of the World Rift and Inverted Rain next to Sinless City’s Gold-digging Dock, suggesting there’s something wrong with space and time in this world itself.

As his mind was racing, he knew his two teammates were curious about what the epitaph said.

This plot wasn’t just a normal War Mode A+ anymore.

It was bound to be more difficult.

It might be the toughest Alternate Dimension event Leonard Churchill had ever participated in.

He had already witnessed some of the abilities of his teammates; they were very strong.

He also felt he could use some help.

Leonard Churchill then recited, “In the name of God, kill countless people, the laughable kingship.”

As this first line was recited, it was as if some great figure was conversing with the three of them across time and space.

Their tone was not just authoritative but also unabashedly mocking of kingship.

Noah Wright and his companion also became serious in an instant, for they sensed a deep sense of conspiracy within.
