Chapter 871 -272 The Supreme Treasure in the White Family’s Secret Box!_4

“…”

Leonard Churchill listened and couldn’t help but sigh.

Indeed, behind every strong individual, there was never smooth sailing, but inevitably a painful past.

No wonder she joined the Revolutionary Army, such deep-seated hatred truly meant a fight to the death.

Sophia Jones ate the black bread with the heated soup, nibbling slowly.

She didn’t want to talk much about her family background, just reminding, “The White Family situation is very complicated, those ‘Immortal Aegis Animals’ are particularly thorny. If you can avoid dealing with them in the future, do so at all costs.”

...

“Mhm.”

Leonard’s impression of the White Family had already turned extremely sour.

If it were possible not to interact with them, he truly wouldn’t want to have any connection with those people.

But unfortunately, he still had reasons that necessitated contact.

Suddenly he thought of something and took out a Spell secret box, asking, “Aunt Jones, can you open this box?”

This was no ordinary object; it was left behind by the White Family ancestors in the Mithril Ore pit a hundred years ago.

At that time, the contract that had been signed with him required it to be given to the descendants of the White Family.

After all, wasn’t Sophia Jones also half of White Family lineage?

He wondered if it might work.

Sophia looked at the Secret Box with a strange sense of familiarity, asking in confusion, “What is this?”

Why would she feel as if it was something connected by blood, though she had never seen it before?

Leonard explained the origin of the box, as well as the message carved into the stone wall, “This belongs to the founding ancestor of the White Family…”

“…”

Upon hearing this, Sophia’s expression became slightly peculiar.

She looked at the box, then at Leonard, and then understood that this might be another layer of Grandma Williams’ arrangements.

The White Family’s ambitions were not just to control the Jones Family but also the wealthy Williams Family.

They had made many covert moves over the years.

Vera Williams knew of the White Family’s malicious intentions, and Leonard would definitely not return this object to them.

And she herself just so happened to have half of the White Family bloodline.

Leonard had also come to this realization.

Although Sophia now wanted nothing to do with the White Family, since it was the intention of the elder, she sighed softly and still reached out her hand.

Upon her touch, the runes on the Secret Box automatically lit up, followed by the crisp sound of a mechanism unlocking.

Leonard was slightly startled: It actually worked?

Both of their gazes fell on the box’s contents.

Inside was a dark gold card and a rune stone.

[Mark·Spades 10-God Stealer (Epic)]

Details: One of the Fifty-two Demonic Origin Cards;

….

“So it really was an Epic Source Card…”

Leonard was not surprised to see this card.

Considering the situation in the Mithril Underground Cave back then, the White Family ancestor had left almost nothing on their person.

What could be left behind were only the Demon Marks analyzed from their body.

The Fifty-two Demonic Origin Cards, these were indeed supreme treasures.

If the White Family knew what they had missed, they would probably be green with regret.

Sophia, on the other hand, remained very calm.

She had no interest in the possessions of the White Family.

However, at that moment, something miraculous occurred.

Since Sophia could open the Secret Box, it meant she had gained the recognition of the White Family ancestor.

The rune stone inside suddenly lit up and then transformed into a misty soul-like fog, wrapping around Sophia’s brow.

Sophia’s eyes became unfocused, as if affected by some sort of mental illusion.

Leonard frowned slightly at this scene.

His instincts told him that the ancestor of the White Family who lived three thousand years ago had no reason to betray their descendants.

But what if…

Before he could consider it further, Sophia’s eyes had already regained their clarity.

There was a depth to them as if she had gained great wisdom.

Leonard asked, “Aunt Jones, are you alright?”

He wasn’t counting on any “benefits” promised by the skeleton for returning the item.

But he was worried that he might have put Sophia in harm’s way.

He still remembered the original words on the stone wall: “This object is a token of my White Family, entwined with cause and effect; if you take it, the White Family is in your debt, much appreciated; also, there’s a small wish I left for the descendants of the White Family, which may also be a considerable fortune for you. But… when the time comes, I hope you won’t blame me;”

Sophia shook her head, her breath ethereal, “I’m fine.”

She knew what Leonard Churchill was worried about and added, “This is an item from the White Family’s ancestors, it is the inheritance and some secret skills of the God Thief lineage. For me, it’s a huge opportunity. I haven’t fully digested the content yet, but… it’s extremely useful! Inside, there is an inheritance that leads directly to the God Tier…”

As Sophia Jones spoke these words, she also let out a long breath of turbid air.

Her eyes sparkled brightly, filled with a sudden enlightening realization.

This inheritance had immense significance for her, and for the significance of the Card Master Civilization.

She even didn’t know how to express the value of this secret box at the moment.

In short, it was an invaluable treasure!

Having listened to guidance from Senior Shepherd before, she felt many aspects still required time for contemplation.

Moreover, even Senior Shepherd wasn’t clear about the situation beyond the Sixth Tier, and couldn’t explain it.

But now, Sophia Jones knew that the inheritance she had just received was merely the beginning, and it had answered her questions!

Now she was certain that “Divine Power” was an essential bridge to the highest realm!

“Senior Shepherd really has an exceptional talent!”

After digesting a bit of the inheritance, Sophia Jones’s heart was filled with even more admiration.

The intuition of Elder Shepherd seemed to match exactly what the White Family’s ancestor had left behind.

If one wanted to walk a higher and farther transcendent pathway in the future, one must not take shortcuts.

Divine Power was the essential path.

And the fact that Shepherd had groped his way to the right path in complete darkness, was a talent beyond imagination.

…

The shock in Sophia Jones’s eyes lingered for a long time, and she fell into a state of clarity she had never experienced before.

Listening to her, Leonard Churchill also breathed a sigh of relief, “It’s good that there’s nothing wrong. I was worried…”

As he said this, Sophia Jones’s thoughts were dragged back to the present reality. It seemed as if she remembered something, her eyebrows knit slightly, and she appeared to have a strange expression, hesitating to say, “You… ”

Leonard Churchill gave her a look, “???”

Sophia Jones’s eyes flickered, but in the end she didn’t say it, “Nevermind, I’ll tell you about it later.”

Leonard Churchill didn’t mind and asked, “What about Aunt Jones, can you use that origin card?”

The Demon Mark could be devoured by higher Quality marks.

For instance, if you have merged with a Silver Mark, but one day you obtain a Legendary Mark of the same sequence, you can replace the mark.

The only difference is that the effect is somewhat diminished compared to the initial fusion, after all, there was a growth delay.

But this was only for the same Professional Sequence.

Leonard Churchill asked this because he thought that since the White Family’s ancestors recognized her obtaining this secret box and the God Thief Sequence itself was very special, maybe it would be different.

Sophia Jones also gave a positive answer, “I can.”

Although she didn’t want to be involved with the White Family’s matters, this was something she couldn’t refuse and had already merged into her body.

Besides, the secret box was not about the current White Family.

It belonged to the God Thieves of the White Family who could truly sacrifice for civilization, and not the cunning old creatures they are now.

Leonard Churchill was a little worried as he said, “Ah… but won’t it affect your professional sequence?”

“No, it will actually be stronger.”

Her eyes shone brilliantly, “The path the God Stealer inherently seeks to steal the power of Gods to cultivate oneself, enveloping… the Demonic Power of other sequences! By merging with this origin card, not only can I continue down the ‘Lady Valkyrie’ pathway, but I have also gained some extraordinary abilities… like, contracts with Immortal Aegis Animals!”

Leonard Churchill felt heartened upon hearing this, and his expression brightened as well.

Sophia Jones continued, “This inheritance needs a lot of time to digest, and I can’t explain it clearly in a short time.”

With that, she looked at Leonard Churchill with a complex expression and said solemnly, “Leonard Churchill… I really… really thank you this time.”

She used “really” twice.

That was a very emphatic tone.

Leonard Churchill smiled without concern, “Not at all… as long as you can use it, Aunt Jones.”

He truly didn’t see it as anything significant.

Although he knew that the secret box certainly contained a supreme treasure, he couldn’t use it, nor did he want to give it to the White Family.

He had thought the secret box was a hot potato difficult to discard, but unexpectedly, Sophia Jones could use it.

A problem solved and a friend benefitted, it was a happy outcome for everyone.

Sophia Jones wanted to say something else but felt that any polite words would be meaningless.

Moreover, the secret box itself had the Law of Destiny left by the White Family’s ancestors.

Leonard Churchill fulfilled the contract and passed the item to her, thereby entangling some cause and effect.

…

Sophia Jones had received the inheritance left by the White Family’s ancestors, realizing too many things, and uncovering some ancient secrets.

Suddenly she said, “I have an idea now.”

Leonard Churchill glanced at her, “Hm?”

Sophia Jones said, “I am confident I can challenge the ‘Advanced Shadow’ now!”

“Oh?”

Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill couldn’t hide his anticipation.
