Chapter 1722: Chapter 523: The Fall of the Royal Academy, Treasures Flood into the Market_2

Moreover, Leonard Churchill was acutely aware of the effect this had on suppressing his Witch Mutation, which was remarkably efficacious.

He had tried many times before, but neither physical pleasure nor Mental Illusion Techniques could compare to the effect of the Enchanting Demon’s Secret Method.

Of course, what was most important was that Sophia Jones was an intimately compatible friend, both in mind and body.

Witch?

Tsk!

How could it compare to this tenderness.

“You…”

Suddenly, Sophia Jones seemed to notice something, her eyebrows slightly furrowing.

That exceptionally beautiful face rarely showed a flush, but she eventually couldn’t help but speak up, “Hey, hey, hey… Isn’t that enough? It’s getting late, don’t let everyone catch us and make a joke out of it later.”

Seeing her flustered demeanor, which was rare, Leonard Churchill pretended to be ignorant and retorted, “What?”

Sophia Jones knew that Leonard Churchill was deliberately playing tricks, suddenly turned over, looked at him, and the waves in her beautiful eyes gleamed faintly: “We’ll talk later. Now I need to get up.”

Although she didn’t mind everyone knowing about her relationship with Leonard Churchill, she still had to maintain some semblance of a leader in front of her companions.

“Hahaha…”

Leonard Churchill looked at that pretty face and laughed heartily.

In fact, after getting to know her, one could discover that Sophia Jones was not aloof.

It was just that she was usually reticent, and combined with the aura of the Lady Valkyrie Sequence’s innate killing intent and valor, she gave off an impression of being distant and difficult to approach.

Privately, she was actually elegant and refined, thoughtful and composed, calm and indifferent. Even some of the bolder poses last night during their intimacy didn’t seem inappropriate to her; she wasn’t proactive, but she didn’t resist either.

Of course, this tenderness was only experienced by Leonard Churchill, and only he had ever seen the charming side of the Lady Valkyrie.

Sophia Jones gave him a glance, turned over to sit up, and picked up the clothes beside the camp bed.

Leonard Churchill watched as her curvaceous figure gradually got covered by the clothes, as if he were admiring the most beautiful piece of art in the world.

…

In the early morning, members of the Revolutionary Army got up one after another to pack up the camp.

The purpose of this trip to the Magical Beast Forest had been more than achieved, and everyone’s face wore the joy of a bountiful harvest.

Not only did they acquire a significant amount of key Materials for entering the Seventh Rank, but also a huge amount of other resources.

This would allow the Revolutionary Army to quickly establish some Seventh Rank powerhouses, and they also found a solution for the large funds required for the main troop.

The only downside was that they did not find the Material that Sophia Jones needed.

Though they did obtain unexpected Eighth-Order Materials, they were not a perfect fit for Sophia Jones’s Professional Sequence.

After some discussions, they decided to head back first.

Eighth-Order Materials are extremely rare and not something even experienced mercenaries can come across every few years.

The sheer volume of their haul this time was entirely due to the peculiarities of the Death Domain.

But now, with the significant changes in the Death Domain, there could be untouchable creatures in the nearby forest, making it too risky and uncontrollable to stay longer.

Moreover, with the impending upheaval on the Southern Continent, there were now plenty of opportunities.

Where previously top-tier Materials were hoarded by the Nobles and couldn’t be bought, it might not be the case anymore.

Just like how Orlan Royal Court had been sealed off for three thousand years, plenty of treasures accumulated dust in the Royal Family’s treasury without seeing the light of day.

But after the fall of the dynasty, various treasures flowed into the market.

The situation on the Southern Continent was now very similar.

The Holy Church has ruled the Southern Continent for over a hundred thousand years. Although there has been some fluctuation in Kingship, in the end, it has always been under the control of Dragon God Airel and the Holy Church.

But now, that’s no longer the case.

With the return of the Dead Dragon Malodis from the Underworld, the good days of the Holy Church are over.

Leonard Churchill had not forgotten that the Heavenly Dragon Saint had casually offered a Divine Artifact, which clearly showed how rich the treasury of the Holy Church, the Three Royal Families, and various Nobles must be…

War will inevitably make those treasures circulate.

In a previous conversation with Noah Wright, he was certain that this turmoil would shake the very foundations of the top of the food chain in the Plane, the Dragon Clan.

Now, returning home, they might be able to acquire some top-tier Materials at the auction house.

The group packed up the camp and set off just as they usually did.

They didn’t plan on venturing deeper, instead, they intended to slowly make their way back to the city.

Through the forest, the group walked with their packs on their backs.

As before, nothing special.

Sam and a few loudmouths were still regaling their companions with Legendary stories from last night.

Leonard Churchill and Sophia Jones walked in the middle of the group.

Bonnie, as the team’s medic, was also by their side.

As they walked, the Poison Master suddenly whispered to Leonard Churchill, “How well did you rest last night?”

Leonard Churchill turned his head and caught the teasing in her eyes, casually replying, “Not too bad.”

“Oh? Oh…”

Bonnie smirked slyly.

She and Sophia Jones were best friends, and she also had a good relationship with Leonard Churchill, so she didn’t hold back.

Although others couldn’t see it, as a medic, she could tell that the rosy glow on Sophia Jones’s face was not just due to vigorous vitality and blood.

Knowing that she had noticed, Leonard Churchill remained unperturbed.

Sophia Jones was just in front of him, and upon hearing, she raised her embroidered brows, not turning around, a faint hint of helplessness crossed her gaze.

….

In a flash, nearly two months had passed.

It was only then that Leonard Churchill and his group emerged from the Magical Beast Forest.

The return journey should not have taken so long, but due to the changes in the Death Domain, many Magical Beasts had been driven out, including a few top-tier Demon Beasts.

This led to alterations in the original habitat of the Magical Beast groups, making Leonard Churchill’s information more random.

Thus, their journey was full of twists and turns, and they encountered attacks from Magical Beasts several times.

Of course, they were all quite thrilling but ultimately harmless encounters, as the Magical Beasts became Materials.

After soaking in the Moon Spring, both Leonard Churchill and Sophia Jones had seen a tremendous increase in strength. The two of them working together were now able to confidently kill an Eighth-Order Magical Beast.
