Chapter 967: 298

The cool breeze caressed their faces, and Alice and Allen breathed in the air of freedom greedily.
It was only after the shackles of the Slave Collar were removed that they truly felt alive.
In the months since they had been captured, the two had been living in constant fear, and only at this moment did they truly savor the exhilarating pleasure of regained freedom.
The crisis was over.
Alice hadn’t forgotten who had saved them.
She curtsied elegantly toward Leonard Churchill, “I really can’t thank you enough, Mr. Leonard Churchill… you saved our lives.”
To show her sincerity, she revealed her biggest secret, “Allow me to reintroduce myself, before I was the princess of the Red Dragon Kingdom, Alice Tarris. Now, I am a member of the Rebel Dragon Army.”
“…”
Leonard had noticed earlier that Alice had a certain elegance about her, distinctly different from the commoner class.
Even as she tried to conceal it, the occasional elegance in her gestures and movements hinted at her uncommon identity.
It made sense that she could be a princess.
But what surprised Leonard was… the princess of the Red Dragon Kingdom?
The Thorny Snake Corps was the vanguard of the Red Dragon Kingdom; how did Alice, a princess become a slave?
Leonard also understood why he had felt Alice seemed to know a lot before.
This insight was not something ordinary people could be compared with.
She was the princess of one of the three great kingdoms.
No wonder.
Alice, of course, knew Leonard would be curious, and explained, “My identity is a bit special. I am a Dragon Descendant, and more specifically, a ‘Pure Blood.’ Normally, I should have been a sacrifice to the Great Dragon. But I think I inherited my mother’s Witch bloodline, which suppressed my dragon bloodline. That made me a ‘taboo’ in the Ariel Empire. It involves some ancient secrets that I can’t fully explain at the moment… Later, I was imprisoned. After that, I met Mr. Aragon, who took me out of King’s City. I gained my freedom and joined the Rebel Dragon Army…”
The story was long, so she just mentioned some key parts.
As she spoke, she looked at Leonard with a genuinely sincere gaze, “You may not fully understand the implications of my identity and ‘Rebel Dragon Army’, but if you wish, I can explain it to you slowly.”
There was no need to hide anything from the person who had saved her life.
If he was wary of her for it, she expressed her understanding.
“Hmm.”
Leonard responded with a friendly smile.
He also knew that Alice had make her identity known ahead of time, to avoid any potential misunderstandings.
His decision to cooperate with Toad was aimed at this kind of information.
However, Leonard wasn’t completely unaware of the situation in the Ariel Empire; over the past month, he had learned quite a lot.
His personal curiosity was just to satisfy his love of the unusual.
The real need for strategic intelligence belonged to someone else.
“I’ve already discussed this with Mr. Aragon. I need some information, and there might be some cooperative efforts in the future. I will take you to meet a friend of mine. She will have a good talk with you.”
“Alright!”
The three of them walked and talked.
Most of their conversation revolved around the Transcendent knowledge that Leonard was curious about.
Like about the missing sequences from the fifty-two suite in East Continent, Demon God Forbidden Skills, and some missing history from the Taren Dynasty three thousand years ago…

Leonard had a photographic memory, and having read so many Classic Books, he had amassed a wealth of knowledge.
And Alice, being a princess of the Red Dragon Kingdom and a Witch, spent her childhood in the Royal Family’s library.
Both were astounded by each other’s extensive knowledge.
The topics of their conversation were many,
and the more they talked, the more they seemed to hit it off.
As for whether Alice was a Dragon Descendant or not, it was of no consequence to Leonard.
All that mattered was that she wasn’t an enemy.
The atmosphere of their conversation gradually relaxed.
Alice was also concerned about Aragon’s safety, but Leonard knew that even if Toad were exposed, the Thorny Snake Corps wouldn’t dare to kill it.
After all, only Toad could sense the presence of the “jar.”
Leonard already had a plan to rescue it.
But now wasn’t the sensitive time to act.
Wait, and a better opportunity would present itself.
….
Riding a motorcycle wasn’t difficult.
Especially for people like Alice and her companion, who were accustomed to riding dragons, it was even simpler.
Their travel by foot turned into a ride, and after two days, they finally reached their destination.
This was an ancient site shrouded in darkness with no light, looking like an abandoned village, veiled in a faint mist.
On a cliff in the distance stood a decrepit castle.
The branches were as tough as iron, and a few strange birds perched on the limbs.
Leonard surveyed the surroundings and if he hadn’t been sure this was the coordinates set by Catherine Carter, he might not have noticed any signs of life here.
Alice and Allen also looked around vigilantly.
They were now curious about the East Wilderness card master they were about to meet.
After all, having met Leonard, the people from the East Wilderness had made quite an impression on them and they wondered if others from there were just as exceptional.
Not long after, several figures emerged from the mist.
Leonard, seeing the familiar silhouette, called out, “Miss Carter, it’s been a while.”
The cloaked figure lifted her hood to reveal a delicate and pretty face and a waterfall of golden locks. She greeted, “Leonard, it’s been a while.”
Behind her were several trusted retainers and nobles from the Lionheart family.
It was clear that the Lionheart family had taken this meeting very seriously.
With that, Leonard introduced Alice and Allen.
He thought he might need to translate for them, but just as he began to introduce them, Catherine warmly spoke up, “Miss Alice, welcome to you and your companion.”
