Chapter 550: Chapter 190: A Very Important Letter
The bonfire was burning vigorously.
Leonard Churchill sat by the fire, his pale face gradually getting some life back.
He looked at the spot where “Auntie Garcia” disappeared, pondering a moment, then muttered, “Things are indeed getting more complex…”.
She didn’t just appear out of nowhere.
And it didn’t seem like she came solely for him.
He had already met a legendary figure in the Mysterious Underground Palace, and now he discovered that this High Priestess from the Orlan Royal Family was here too. From these observations, he could tell that the Old Era Remnants in Lion City had formidable plans in place.
However, Auntie Garcia’s position seemed delicate.
It seemed like due to her status as the High Priestess, she remained loyal to the Orlan Royal Family, but she also wanted to leave some protective measures for her precious daughter.
Therefore, she couldn’t directly interfere.
She could only try other methods as much as possible.
Like finding Leonard Churchill, a third party with some connection.
Was that why she secretly went to the relics, saved people, and then guided him to find the Xismark Holy Grail?
The ingenious layout made it difficult for people to comprehend thoroughly.
The reasons that Leonard Churchill could think of only gave part of the picture.
But these complex thoughts flashed through his mind and disappeared.
Leonard Churchill didn’t care about the plots of the politicians or the Old Era Remnants.
After knowing his own lifespan remained just three months, he cared more about how to have a better experience.
He looked around at his environment.
The hiding place that she had chosen seemed safe.
Leonard Churchill was not in a hurry to leave.
Now that he was alive, he had the time to think about what had just happened.
He did not die in the fierce battle, and instead seemed to have gained some unexpected rewards.
He held the sword sheath that Auntie Garcia had given him before she left in his hand, picked up the X-099-Useless Great Sword from the ground, and tried inserting it into the sheath.
As the sword tip touched the sheath, a space rift emerged, and the two-handed sword that was almost half a meter wide was gradually inserted into the sheath bit by bit.
“Is this the rule of space?”
Leonard Churchill gazed at the miraculous scene in front of him, finding it quite intriguing.
He tipped the sword, the weight didn’t change, but the volume became much smaller.
In this way, this conspicuous greatsword finally became less noticeable.
It would not be recognised by others at a glance.
Leonard Churchill drew the sword out again.
He didn’t have time to observe it carefully before, and now he could try it.
The sword was black as if it was ordinary iron, looking nothing special.
Upon trial, even a scalpel with “Sharpness +9” couldn’t leave a scratch on the sword. This demonstrated the only attribute that was known about it — unbreakable.
However, Abel had obtained the “Curse Seal” through this Disaster Object, successfully stepping into the threshold of becoming a Third Order Card Master.
This great sword must have other uses.
Coming to this conclusion, Leonard poured his Curse Power into the great sword.
Upon doing so, he immediately noticed something and uttered in surprise, “Could it really be so…”.
…
The reason why this Disaster Object is called the “Useless Great Sword”.
The sword lives up to its name.
For ordinary people, apart from being huge and hard, it has no other use.
But now Leonard also knew, Disaster Objects were indeed treasures that exceeded their rank.
The sword appeared useless only because its holder had not met the usage conditions.
Leonard began to realise.
After his Curse Power poured into the great sword, it seemed as if it got constrained by a specific pattern, and then gradually woven into a complex pattern.
The feeling was like a dried-up river course, where the water flowed in and naturally twisted its shape.
“Is this the ‘Curse Seal’?”
Leonard could feel that the Curse Power had been woven into a complex shape.
He had read about this in books before, this weaving process was actually the purification of Curse Power, the condensation of elemental seals, and the comprehension of the Curse Seal.
The feeling was like knitting a sweater.
Land, wind, water, fire, light, dark, metal, wood… all kinds of elements were like threads of different colours.
And they had to be woven together by following a specific pattern.
Normally, this pattern needs to be attempted and comprehended by oneself.
And then a most stable and suitable structure for their own profession was woven, whether for defense, magic promotion, agility…
It was already very difficult to weave a pattern from a single thread.
Adding more threads increased the difficulty exponentially.
This was the reason why when buying the Breathing Method before, anyone would feel that a single elemental Breathing Method was better.
But Leonard’s Breathing Method was “Gluttony”, which absorbed all-element curse power, so there were multiple elemental threads in his body.
This greatly increased the difficulty to weave a stable structure.
That was why he was previously puzzled when he saw the mysterious Curse Seal on Abel.
After all, Abel practiced the same Breathing Method as he did. Although it wasn’t all-element, it was said to have cultivated five systems at the same time.
So the complexity and stability of his Curse Seal was not something a second or third order card master could understand.
Now it seemed that the merit belonged to the Useless Great Sword.
After the Curse Power was injected into this great sword, there appeared to be a pre-woven pattern in the sword body.
There was no need to worry whether the woven structure is stable. They only needed to focus on refining the Curse Power into a seal using the fixed pattern.
The most difficult step was directly skipped.
“Is it really like this…”
After a careful examination, Leonard felt excited that his guess was feasible.
If Leonard had discovered the function of the Useless Great Sword himself, maybe he would still doubt whether his discovery was feasible.
But the successful case of Abel was already in front of him.
