Chapter 1606: Chapter 487 Elder Clinton, Archbishop, Black Coffin_4 Chapter 1606: Chapter 487 Elder Clinton, Archbishop, Black Coffin_4 …

Camp life was quite leisurely.

After separating from their teammates, Leonard Churchill, Sophia Jones, and Bonnie, a few officers, strolled around the camp, gathering information.

There were taverns and restaurants in the camp.

Although a bit pricey, the ingredients were fresh, consisting of rare Magical Beast Meat.

Noon.

At a window-side table on the second floor of the restaurant, Leonard and his group ordered a feast and were enjoying their meal heartily.

However, as they ate, the noisy street outside suddenly fell silent.

Leonard immediately sensed something and poked his head out of the window.

He saw a procession of knights, clad in shining silver armor and riding Earth Dragons, slowly entering the camp.

The line was long, stretching further than the eye could see.

He estimated that there were hundreds of knights just clearing the way.

On the street, the crowd split to both sides, falling silent and respectfully welcoming the incoming procession.

“Holy Dragon Knights leading the way… someone important from the Holy Church must be here.”

“Looking at this spectacle, it must be at least an Archbishop-level high clergy.”

“Hey, it’s really bustling. What’s an Archbishop doing in this godforsaken place?”

…

Other adventurers in the restaurant also began discussing amongst themselves.

Leonard and his companions weren’t surprised; they knew the situation in the Death Domain, and it was not strange for the Holy Church to send top experts here.

The procession on the street took a while to pass, and only then Leonard spotted an old man with a white beard sitting in a luxurious jewel-encrusted carriage from the distance.

Dressed in a dazzling red Archbishop’s robe, his hat and shoes were inlaid with various luxurious gemstones, details exuding opulence.

Leonard glanced at the attire and then averted his gaze.

Those who wore such Archbishop red robes were influential figures of the Holy Church, not Ninth Rank, at least Eighth Rank.

Such experts, even a hint of malicious surveillance, would be detected.

Leonard had seen one before.

It was the one killed by the Rebel Dragon Army Leader Griffith.

Originally, Leonard wouldn’t find it strange for such a powerhouse to visit.

However, as the procession moved, he saw that the Beast Carriages in the group were also hauling a lot of cargo.

This made Leonard immediately curious: “Huh?”

An Archbishop’s entourage was indeed like this, but that was usual in cities. What need was there to haul so much stuff deep within the Magical Beast Forest?

The Holy Church had gathered most of the top treasures of the Southern Continent, surely not lacking places to store treasures.

Logically, if they needed to transport materials, there would be no need to use carriages.

Leonard became suspicious, deliberately observing the mud on the wheels.

He immediately deduced that this was definitely from a long journey, not just a show put on at the entrance.

That meant that within those carriages, there were some large items that couldn’t be contained.

“So, this Red-Robed Archbishop is actually here to escort the items in the team?”

Leonard quickly concluded.

It wasn’t strange for the Holy Church to send experts; what he was curious about was, what exactly was being transported that warranted such a grand display?

Those cargo-laden Beast Carriages were wrapped in luxurious blankets, a total of more than a dozen, and from the outside, it was impossible to tell what was inside.

Leonard couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

However, sensing something, Ivan in his pocket, secretly nibbling on food, suddenly paused with a startled expression.

Leonard and this little girl exchanged glances, his eyes catching the sparkling excited pupils, and he immediately guessed what might be on those carriages.

A coffin!

When Griffith discovered Ivan, this little girl was lying in that mystical coffin imbued with High-level Space Law!
