Chapter 972 -299 The Four Great Kingship Holy Artifacts_3
This is the advantage of an unbroken lineage.
Alice revealed to Leonard Churchill a piece of astonishing history that not even the bards had mentioned in their legends.
However, when he heard the name “Lanlingster M. Augustus,” Leonard suddenly grasped something.
He hadn’t forgotten that when he had obtained the Joker—which bore the Demon Mark—there was a signature with the letter “M” on it.
(The Mark is a pact of enslavement by the Demons? No, on the contrary, it is the mark of conquest by Curse Card Masters over the power of Demons—the signature M.)
Could it be the same person?
And that wasn’t the only thing that surprised him.
Besides the crown, Leonard had also seen the Xismark Holy Grail, which was in Camilla’s possession.
Could it be that the Grail, apart from saving lives, had an even more mysterious use?
His thoughts raced.
Alice continued, “It is said that each Holy Item of kingship possesses powerful and mysterious forces. By obtaining them, one can gain the recognition of the law of kingship. Moreover, because the Holy Items themselves are forged by a God, they possess indescribable powers of divine kingship, enabling the holder to elevate their tier by deepening their understanding of the laws of kingship through the Holy Item. Currently, the Kingship Orb is in the hands of Pope Bolarante A. Russell from the Holy Church, which is one of the key sources of his power as one of the foremost mighty figures of our times. As for the whereabouts of the other three Holy Items… they remain unknown.”
Being a member of the Red Dragon Kingdom’s Royal Family, she was more knowledgeable about these matters than an outsider.
As an afterthought, Alice added, “However, the enlightenment process for the law of kingship is different from other laws. It requires ‘kingship.’ This means the holder not only needs to have the Life Pattern of kingship, but also to fully unleash the Extraordinary Traits within the Holy Item, one must possess ‘the rights of a king.’ I’m not entirely clear on the details, as, apart from the Pope of the Holy Church, no one has ever held the four Holy Items… but I’ve seen some statements in some ancient court texts, which suggest that the greater the rights a king wields, the more they benefit from the Holy Artifact, and the stronger they become…”
At this revelation, Leonard and Catherine Carter exchanged a glance, both revealing looks of astonishment.
So this was the correct way to use the Holy Items of kingship.
“So, after Arthur’s restoration succeeded, his surge in strength was because of the Thorny Crown?”
Leonard thought of this, and then of Camilla.
Although she had the Xismark Holy Grail in her possession, as a lone individual, it seemed she couldn’t utilize this particular trait of the Grail.
….
As the conversation turned to this topic, Alice seemed to recall something else and said, “However, there is another rumor I’m not sure about.”
Leonard and Catherine directed their expectant gazes towards her.
Alice went on, “The upper echelon of the Ariel Empire is looking for several mysterious ‘jars.’ They’re also searching for the other three Holy Items of kingship. And there is a precise clue indicating that the most powerful of the four, the Olympus Holy Sword, rests within the mausoleum of a certain King of Augustus.”
No wonder.
Leonard now understood why the Thorny Snake Corps had been so persistent about that Alternate Dimension around Waren City Rebel Camp.
They were in search of the mausoleum of the Augustus emperors.
Catherine, too, picked up on something and asked in puzzlement, “The most powerful Holy Artifact?”
“Yes, the strongest!”
Alice nodded, “It is said to be a supreme divine weapon capable of destroying heaven and earth. However, even the glorious Taren Dynasty has suffered interruptions due to war and Catastrophes. That sword has not been seen by anyone for countless years. I’m not too clear on the specifics. But as a former member of the Red Dragon Royal Family, I have heard some legends about that sword…”
Her expression turned slightly awkward, and casting a glance at Leonard and Catherine, she continued, “The Olympus Holy Sword is quite special. Kings long for its approval and yet greatly fear it as well.”
Catherine: “Fear?”
It was a word that seemed difficult to comprehend.
Why would a king fear a Holy Item of kingship?
This world contained too many secrets, and even someone as well-read as Alice did not know everything.
Contemplating for a moment, she spoke with a tone of uncertainty, “Because the legend says… it is a ‘Regicide Sword.’ Legend has it that whoever gains the sword’s favor can ascend to become the ‘King of Diamonds – Regicide.'”
As he listened, Leonard’s eyes narrowed slightly: Interesting.
It was a Professional Sequence unheard of on the East Continent.
Tsk, tsk, one could tell why there had been interruptions in the lineage by that name alone.
For the stability of its rule, the Orlan Royal Family would even block knowledge of a Super Tier.
Regarding the term “Regicide”, they probably hated it so much they wished to banish this sequence.
However, Leonard Churchill was more curious about another term, “Promotion?”
“Yes!”
Now Alice also knew that the card masters from the East Continent had a very limited understanding of Transcendents above the seventh tier, and took the initiative to explain, “The high-ranking JQK sequences control not just one path to godhood, but also can be promoted through specific methods. Just like the [King of Diamonds-Regicide]… I don’t know how to be promoted, but that’s what the ancient texts record. It’s said that it requires killing a king who possesses the life pattern of kingship…”
Leonard Churchill also showed great interest upon hearing this.
He had thought that the fifty-two Professional Sequences were fixed, but it turns out there was such a thing as “Promotion.”
And to kill a king?
How did that sound like a necessary ritual for a new king’s ascension?
Indeed, the very name of the sequence “Regicide” suggested that this path was quite special.
Leonard Churchill also widened his horizons while listening.
The four of them talked in this secret room for several days, exchanging and learning from each other.
They benefited a lot.
The key intelligence brought by Alice relieved the urgent need of the Allied Forces and even directly influenced the future strategic layout of the allies.
….
On this day.
Outside the dilapidated castle.
Leonard Churchill mounted his steam motorcycle.
He was leaving.
It was time to check on Toad and see if he could be rescued.

That was the agreement they had made before.
Moreover, after hearing Alice’s intelligence, he became even more interested in the role-playing game of “espionage.”
Whether it was the Old Continent or the Ariel Empire, there were too many secrets waiting for him to explore.
Leonard Churchill’s departure didn’t attract much attention, with only three people seeing him off.
Alice and Allen were going to be guests here for a while longer.
To wait for the main force of the Rebel Dragon Army to come to the Old Continent, and then to meet up with them.
The two had already become very familiar with Catherine Carter over the past several days and were getting along happily.
There was no need to worry too much.
Watching Leonard Churchill with the steam engine of his motorcycle already roaring to life, Alice and Allen waved their hands, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, take care.”
They had always held respect for the man who saved their lives.
Leonard Churchill smiled, “Yeah.”
Catherine Carter also looked at Leonard Churchill and smiled slightly, “Take care.”
The two of them had parted ways before,
Leonard Churchill wasn’t sentimental, “You too.”
Such was the cruelty of this world.
No one knew if parting meant forever.
Catherine’s beautiful eyes shimmered, and she smiled, “Next time we meet… I’ll buy you a drink.”
Leonard Churchill responded with a beaming smile, “Deal.”
Then, amidst the roar of the engine, the steam motorcycle sped off, quickly vanishing into the darkness.
