Catastrophe Card King

87  Chapter 57 The Final Solution to the Maze_2

Leonard Churchill could solve it.

But for him to design such a labyrinth on his own, the difficulty would be at least a hundred times greater.

Is this the extraordinary ability granted by the 5-Wisdom sequence?

Indeed, the world seen through the eyes of a sage is entirely different from that seen by ordinary people.

Leonard Churchill suddenly felt that the extraordinary world was becoming more and more interesting.

It allows ordinary people to see the truth through extraordinary eyes!

....

Sometimes, a surprise comes so suddenly, it feels surreal.

Tracy Garcia was right now staring at the twisted black hole that appeared before her eyes, her face written with the words 'I'm not dreaming'.

The Elite Legion of the Governor's Mansion all perished in this labyrinth, and the three of them actually survived?

This kind of euphoria from surviving a disaster is something people who haven't experienced it absolutely cannot understand.

Although she had heard so much, until now the Spirit Communicator lady hadn't fully understood what Leonard Churchill was talking about with the Rubik's cube principle.

Not worrying too much about her own insufficient grasp, she excitedly asked, "Mr. Leonard Churchill, how did you do it?"

But just as she spoke, the excitement on her face froze in place.

Because she too noticed that the atmosphere in the secret room was somewhat off.

No joy, only silence.

Turning to look, Camilla looked melancholy.

Leonard Churchill also stopped talking.

He seemed to have guessed something, his brow furrowed, his eyes looking profound.

Tracy Garcia was filled with confusion, asking, "Sister Camilla...?"

They were able to go out alive, why weren't they happy about it?

These two guys seemed to be stuck in that subtle understanding that only they understood, and she was the only one who didn't.

Camilla heard her.

Towards her closest ally, she responded with a slight smile.

She walked over, put her hand on Tracy Garcia's shoulder, her eyes shining with elite expectations, "Little Garcia, take care of yourself in the future."

Tracy Garcia thought these words were inexplicable, but also heard it sounded like a farewell, "You...?"

Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt her brain go blank, and she passed out.

Leonard Churchill, standing to one side, watched in silence.

He wasn't surprised.

...

Camilla laid the unconscious Tracy Garcia on the ground, stood up, and said to Leonard Churchill in a tone of sincere entrustment, "Mr. Leonard Churchill, please take care of Little Garcia for me."

Leonard Churchill listened, silent for a moment.

His eyes held a bit of complexity, but in the end, he replied, "Mm."

In fact, he had thought of it before.

His old friend had a treasure that could leave the Alternate Dimension, she was never truly trapped in this labyrinth.

But that also meant, whoever wanted to kill her probably knew this intelligence.

So, in the labyrinth, there were arrangements for a ambush.

To be on the safe side, there would definitely be people waiting outside the labyrinth.

If the assassination failed, there would be someone to finish the job.

To completely eliminate any future problems.

So from the very beginning, Leonard Churchill knew that even if they found the exit, Camilla couldn't possibly leave with others.

If they left together, it would only lead others into a deadly situation.

Leonard Churchill thought of this.

Camilla also knew that he thought of this.

This was the reason why they fell silent when the exit appeared earlier. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

This kind of understanding, they had it without knowing when.

Camilla would not take the risk of leaving with Tracy Garcia.

Seeing Leonard Churchill agree, she slightly nodded, "I've caused you trouble."

Upon saying this, after a final look at her companion, she turned and walked towards the Twisted Light Gate.

The pottery on the ground, the spoils of war from the Third Tier Frost Knight, she didn't take any of it.

Perhaps, as a compensation for the task.

Or perhaps she didn't care anymore.

Leonard Churchill did not speak.

But seeing that turning back figure, he seemed to have thought of something and still called out, "Hey."

Camilla turned around and looked at him.

Leonard Churchill hesitated for a second, then casually uttered a farewell, "It's rare to meet a friend to my liking. If you can, don't die."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Camilla glanced at him.

She intended to respond politely.

However, as the words reached her lips, the grief of being betrayed by a loved one overwhelmed her, leaving her speechless.

Eventually, she turned around and left.

It seemed like she muttered a "hmm," but it was indistinct. Her solitary figure soon disappeared into the secret chamber.

With one less member in their trio, Leonard Churchill heaved a slight sigh.

He wasn't nurturing any sentimental thoughts.

Camilla was the first person he encountered in this world, and he found her personality appealing.

Moreover, she had helped him greatly in both of their meetings.

That was quite remarkable.

The betrayal had evidently dealt a severe blow to Camilla, but it was her personal matter to deal with, and Leonard Churchill didn't feel it was his place to comment.

As she left, he glanced at the unconscious Tracy Garcia, dismissing his fleeting thoughts.

...

Leonard Churchill returned his gaze to the Taren's Classics inscribed on the wall.

In fact, he hadn't been able to elaborate before, in addition to hiding the exit information, there should also be a hidden subplot in this secret chamber.

It's embedded within the symbols by the Craftsman.

Understanding the Taren language wasn't necessarily required to pass this area. As long as the method was understood, one could use the procedure he used earlier to open the exit.

However, to trigger this hidden subplot, one needs to decipher what exactly is written in the chamber.

The "rubik's cube" in Leonard Churchill's mind connected several characters to form a sentence.

The translated content was roughly: "The queen used her enchanting singing to open the secret passage of the tomb, leading to the resting place of the king..."

It seemed that a hidden passage could be opened with a certain method.

Trigger the ultimate easter egg?

Leonard Churchill had some ideas to decipher it.

However, after thinking it over, he chose not to pursue this side subplot.

The exit was already revealed; there was no need to.push further.

Because he estimated that by clearing this stage, he would most likely earn an A or B rank evaluation. If he were to trigger the hidden subplot and obtain an "S Perfect Evaluation" or perhaps because certain easter eggs were solved, the whole space could disappear.

If it were elsewhere, Leonard wouldn't give up this additional gain.

But he dared not do so now.

Without a doubt, Governor Stan Miller has been trapped in the labyrinth for six days.

The outside world must be teeming with people waiting for his exit.

Not all of them are from the Governor's mansion.

However, everyone is curious about what happened in the labyrinth.

And then the mysterious[Curse Pot]. Since it couldn't be stored in the Storage Ring, he wrapped it in a piece of cloth and hung it around his waist.

11:15

If the alternate dimension were to disappear, Leonard could envision the scene of guns pointed at his head the moment he steps out.

More importantly, this is a D-level alternate dimension.

The main reason it led to the death of Governor Stan Miller and his crew wasn't really because of its high difficulty. Rather, it was due to the labyrinth space's trapping characteristic and the disrupted sequence of the codes.

Furthermore, this space is named "Grand Cemetery Labyrinth," not "XX King's Tomb."

So Leonard guessed that even if he triggered the hidden subplot, the reward wouldn't be too extravagant.

Now, Leonard had the spoils of war from eight frost knights in his possession, including a third tier one and that mysterious[Curse Pot].

This loot was already more than what several high-level alternate dimensions could produce.

There was no need to be greedy for the small profits from the side subplot.

....

With that in mind, Leonard Churchill stopped considering the labyrinth's side subplot.

He walked over to the dead body.

Camilla had left without taking anything.

Naturally, Leonard took everything without reservation.

He collected the frost knight's armor, great sword, and storage ring.

This was high-graded equipment with the "Excellent" prefix, more valuable than the previous sets of exquisite armor.

And then the mysterious[Curse Pot]. Since it couldn't be stored in the Storage Ring, he wrapped it in a piece of cloth and hung it around his waist.

After packing the spoils of war, Leonard sat next to the body to meditate, continuing to ingest the Extraordinary Traits from the corpse using [Feast].

Tracy had yet to wake up, and Camilla leaving might stir up some trouble. He needed to wait a bit longer before leaving.

With a blink of an eye, eight hours had passed.

Only then did Tracy wake up.
