Chapter 609: Chapter 206: I’m going to kill someone_4
However, the only problem is that the “Mana Consumption” of this Demon God Secret Skill is extremely exaggerated.
It’s the most substantial of any skill I’ve learned!
Leonard Churchill looked at the curse power value he’d depleted quite a bit just by playing with the flying knife for a while, then a thought occurred to him, and he muttered to himself, “But… curse power value is a big issue. I need to find a follow-up breathing method…”
Without solving this problem, his current Second Tier level simply wasn’t capable of generating as strong a gravitational force with the Godfall Secret Technique.
Previously, because of his lifespan, he hadn’t been persistent in thinking about this problem.
Now that his lifespan had recovered, he needed to prioritize finding a breathing method.
“Abel must still be in Lion City…”
Leonard instinctively thought.
After all, the Gluttony Secret Skill had spread from him, so it was time to find him and ask about the situation.
Last time I failed to kill him, but now with my significantly increased strength, I’m confident.
…
Leonard ceased his absorption of the spirit mediums, and Camilla on the opposite side obviously noticed it.
She suddenly stood up.
Her injuries had actually healed quite well two days ago.
Waiting until now, Leonard knew that this old friend was keeping watch over him.
After all, the energy fluctuations of two large packs of spirit mediums were not small; being pursued while absorbing them would be troublesome.
It’s not about the danger, but it would be a shame to lose the treasures.
Seeing Camilla stand up, Leonard knew she was leaving and cast a glance her way, “Leaving?”
Camilla’s deep blue pupils came to life somewhat when she saw Leonard and nodded her head.
As cold as ever.
Leonard didn’t mind, and asked another question, “Where to?”
He had learned from Tracy Garcia that his old friend was a fugitive princess, and it was definitely impossible for her to go back to the Orlan Remnants.
She didn’t have any friends in Sinless City.
It wasn’t an overstatement to say she had no place to call home.
Leonard wasn’t being nosy, just genuinely concerned for a friend.
Camilla obviously understood what he was asking, but her expression didn’t change.
Perhaps because of the ancient and cold state of the Demon God Secret Skills, her emotions had been in a mysterious and icy condition.
She wasn’t inclined to speak, but after a moment’s hesitation, she replied, “I’m going to advance to the next tier. And then go kill someone.”
“…”
Leonard’s brow lifted slightly upon hearing this.
He didn’t need to ask to guess who Camilla intended to kill.
If it wasn’t the Lionheart family that drove her mother to her death, it was likely the Orlan Remnants.
But Leonard was acutely aware of his limitations in regards to a fight of that magnitude.
He didn’t ask.
He didn’t offer any advice either.
Leonard laughed, “Turns out I’m also headed to Lion City to kill someone.”
Camilla didn’t say much in response, only uttered a faint “Mhm.”
After a moment’s contemplation, she uncharacteristically added, “Take care.”
“…”
It was at these words that Leonard suddenly broke into a smile.
That familiar feeling returned.
Despite the great changes this old friend had been through,
She was still herself.
No matter what Camilla might become in the future, Leonard recognized her as his friend.
Suddenly catching something in the corner of his eye, Leonard pointed to the cobweb-laden windowsill and mentioned, “Look, that wild plant on the windowsill is flowering.”
Camilla seemed to glance at it too, “Mhm.”
Leonard continued to ask, “How many blooms?”
Camilla’s gaze visibly paused for a moment, apparently not expecting him to follow up with such a question.
It seemed like a dull topic.
Oh, and she hadn’t talked to anyone in a long time.
Camilla’s eyes trembled slightly, as if she took an extra look before responding, “Five blooms.”
Hearing this, Leonard broke into a grin and added, “The white one looks pretty nice.”
Camilla: “Mhm.”
Though the topic seemed dull, the two continued to chat.
The atmosphere wasn’t so dull after all,
Rather,
It was quite harmonious.
Seeing Camilla responding to his questions, Leonard’s smile grew even brighter, then he suddenly added, “It’s as beautiful as you are.”
What a clown, his professional habit was acting up again.
Even though he felt bad himself, he always couldn’t stand to see others unhappy.
“…”
Camilla didn’t respond.
But she spared Leonard a glance.
She knew this was his way of showing concern.
No words were spoken.
It seemed as if all that needed to be said had been said in just a few words.
Having said all there was to say, Leonard didn’t dwell further, smiling as he bid farewell, “Take care.”
Camilla’s gaze lingered on Leonard’s face, her eyes showing more life than before, and she nodded, “Okay.”
As her voice fell, she dissipated into a cold aura and disappeared from the room.
Leonard watched his old friend leave, his smile fading from his face.
A sigh arose in his heart.
In these three days together, how could he not have noticed that Camilla’s internal suffering was a hundred times more severe than her icy exterior?
Without dwelling on it, he tidied up traces of his temporary residence and leapt out of the window.
