Chapter 694: Chapter 228 Reuel Bible Defection_4
The old man’s realm was clearly much higher.
Leonard Churchill had just touched the surface and already felt it was extraordinary.
This was even more direct than vision, hearing, or smell.
There were many card masters who could disguise, transform, and mask their scent, but those who could control Air were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Without Barre Shepherd’s guidance, Leonard Churchill felt he might spend dozens of times longer and still fail to touch the essence of Air Skill.
Even if he were really lucky enough to obtain various Air Skill Master’s Classic Books and Skill Cards, he might have to take many detours and still not find the right direction.
...
The tavern was a mix of fish and dragons, so it wasn’t strange to see all sorts of odd folks.
Especially now, with Sinless City’s bustling environment, spies from all major forces are mingling in the city.
Leonard Churchill had identified some of them but didn’t pay them much mind.
Once seated, he had been sitting in the tavern for several hours.
The appointed meeting time was almost up.
Thinking he might not meet anyone this time, Leonard Churchill was preparing to leave and come back another day.
But at that moment, a sturdy man in a trench coat entered the tavern and headed straight upstairs.
Leonard Churchill had actually noticed him the moment he entered the door.
The man’s energy was very calm. He was either an Air master who could control his energy or just a regular customer.
Dressed in the common attire of a laborer, with the smell of alcohol on him and walking very naturally, he didn’t give the slightest unusual impression.
If it were anywhere else, Leonard Churchill would have ignored the man in the trench coat.
But now, Leonard Churchill was here waiting for someone.
Reuel Bible guessed what he was thinking but had no time to explain and continued, “Think carefully. If you take this on, you might get into big trouble, even putting your life at risk.”
Leonard Churchill knew this was bound to be big trouble but didn’t think about what trouble might be involved.
He knew the situation was urgent, and without even asking what the object was, he chose to trust absolutely, “Give it to me.”
Reuel Bible also breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and quickly said, “I’ve found someone to entrust this to, but that person hasn’t replied yet. You hold onto it for me for now. Only you can safeguard this. My friend. I’m sorry, it’s not that I don’t trust you. But this involves the secrets of the Great Catastrophe. Even mentioning related terms could cause immeasurable contamination.”
The Great Catastrophe?
On hearing this, Leonard Churchill suddenly thought of what he had read on the stele earlier.
Reuel Bible’s return to the X Bureau seemed to be in pursuit of some discovery.
Leonard Churchill still didn’t hesitate, taking it firmly, “Yes, I’ll do my best to safeguard it.”
Reuel Bible looked at the box in his arms, his expression complicated.
But there was no time left to explain.
He spoke hurriedly again, “Remember, if I don’t come back for it, you can’t give it to anyone. Apart from that person, I can’t think of anyone else who could deal with it. Oh, and if you can contact him, hand it over. If you can’t, take it to any secluded place on the Old Continent and bury it, but make sure no one finds it.”
Leonard Churchill asked, “Who?”
Reuel Bible answered, “The leader of the Thirteen Knights—Pursuer of Light!”
Leonard Churchill asked again, “Noah Wright?”
He likely mentioned this because Camilla was a member of the Thirteen Knights.
Hearing this, Reuel Bible showed slight surprise, “You know?”
Leonard Churchill nodded, “Yes.”
There wasn’t time to explain his previous experiences.
Reuel Bible, knowing he was acquainted with the Pursuer of Light, breathed another sigh of relief and continued, “A major upheaval has occurred inside the X Bureau. I can no longer trust anyone from before. I have to entrust this to you. My appearance must have been noticed. I’m going to lead them away. Find a chance to leave first.”
Leonard Churchill nodded, “Yes.”
When he looked again, the man in the trench coat had already vanished.
