Catastrophe Card King-Chapter 902 - 281 Arch Fire

Chapter 902: Chapter 281 Arch Fire

“Ouch, Noah, you’re still here playing cards, not knowing the whole Sinless City is already buzzing! It’s the Flying Dragon Attacks the City! The Flying Dragon Attacks the City, you know!”

“Oh, never mind you, I’m going outside to ask around for news.”

“…”

In the playwright’s office, a loud and noisy fellow rushed in to announce this news, then hurried out to enjoy the spectacle.

It was the storekeeper of the theater troupe. In the troupe, both the down-and-out playwright and the storekeeper were close in terms of salary, a pair of equally struggling brothers.

As soon as the person left, Leonard Churchill and Noah Wright both paused for a moment.

...

But that was it.

They each continued to play their card game.

If it was true, then the news was indeed significant enough to be called a historical turning point.

It would have a great impact on the Federation’s authority.

However, for individuals, the impact was far less significant.

Before this, the Federation had not discovered any other human civilizations.

But now, some “powerful figures of unknown origins” had destroyed the Miller Family’s Cross New City.

While a sense of crisis emerged, there was also an inevitable feeling of anticipation and curiosity.

It was like a ship drifting in the vast ocean, alone for three thousand years;

Now, they saw another ship’s sails on the horizon.

….

Destroying Cross New City, a war fortress built for the wild hunts, was almost impossible for any present force within the Federation.

Even if there were.

They would have no motive to act.

Moreover, “Flying Dragon Attacks the City”…

This was beyond everyone’s comprehension.

Great Dragons were creatures only found in legends in the East Continent before being discovered in the Old Continent and were unseen by anyone there.

Even now, only a few had seen Dragon Descendant Creatures in the Alternate Dimension.

Just this fact alone revealed much information.

Strangers with immense strength, Great Dragons, ill-intended newcomers.

Nevertheless, Leonard found himself somewhat excited.

Even the East Continent was limitless.

No one knew how vast the Middle Earth Continent truly was.

The current scale of the Federation’s development in the Old Continent was probably just a corner of the map of the three-thousand-year-old Taron Dynasty.

If there were only the Federation’s card masters, humanity.

It would be a bit too lonely.

With this news coming to light, things seemed to be different now.

“You don’t seem surprised?”

“Most likely, it’s one of the remaining civilizations from the Taron Dynasty three years ago. Since they all left the Old Continent and are now returning, it’s normal to encounter them again. Moreover, some ancient Prophecies passed down by our Illuminate Association predicted some…”

“Oh?”

“We’ll receive detailed information soon. There’s no rush.”

“…”

Leonard and Noah were not strangers to begin with.

Having played cards for nearly a week, the two had grown quite familiar with each other.

Aside from his title as Pursuer of Light, Noah’s personality was actually rather pleasant.

Well-educated and conversational, with a worldview that suited Leonard’s taste.

Their current conversation was like a casual chat between friends, without any sense of formality.

Listening, Leonard waited patiently.

After all, Mushroomhead was the leader of the Thirteen Knights. Even if he stayed holed up in the playwright’s office, he could grasp the movements of all the major powers in the Federation, and he certainly had his own intelligence network.

Rather than going out to hear the distorted rumors, it was better to wait.

While the Flood Gang outside was in a frenzy, the two in the storehouse kept their patience and continued playing cards.

As expected, after two rounds of cards, footsteps sounded outside the door again.

…

“Ouch, with such a big incident happening, you still got the mood to play cards here?”

The person was not yet in sight, but her voice arrived first.

The voice was charming, the kind that made one feel like sinking deep into it.

Listening, Noah shook his head and smiled slightly, seemingly helpless with the person outside, and with a peculiar look, glanced at Leonard and said, “She might tease… well, never mind, you’ll find out soon.”

Leonard understood the look as if Noah initially wanted to warn him about something.

But then it seemed unnecessary.

Mushroomhead’s hesitation made Leonard even more curious about the visitor’s true identity.

If Noah spoke like that, the visitor must know Noah’s identity and might even be one of the Thirteen Knights.

Before he could think more, a woman wearing a half-face gas mask walked through the door.

Clad in a Hunter outfit, but as she came in and took off her gas mask, Leonard’s gaze suddenly froze: “This…”

Because the face that appeared was incredibly familiar.

Vera Williams!

It wasn’t just the appearance; the demeanor was exactly the same.

She smiled brilliantly at him, revealing a row of perfectly white teeth.

In that instant, Leonard felt as if he had traveled through time and seen the carefree and cheerful Miss Anne.

Even though he knew it must be some kind of illusion,

He couldn’t help but yearn for it to last forever.

Noah, noticing the emotional fluctuation, shook his head with a hand on his forehead and said, “Don’t tease him anymore. This is Erin, this generation’s ‘Arch Fire.’ This gentleman here is Leonard Churchill.”

As he explained, “This is her professional ability, ‘Void Promise.’ What you see as fantasy becomes reality. You will see whatever you most desire to see.”

“…”

Only then did Leonard come to realize, his gaze gradually calming down, though he couldn’t help but feel a slight sigh within.

Hearing Noah bluntly reveal her Spell, the woman who came in complained, “Ah… leader, couldn’t you have let me retain a little mystery?”

But she didn’t continue to use her Spell.

The appearance on her face changed as though a mirage, and she transformed into a woman of overwhelming charm.

With long wavy brown hair, luscious red lips, and an exquisite figure.
