But Camilla remained silent, her eyes dull and without light.
Leonard Churchill was observing the whole treatment process. Camilla’s injuries were not just physical, but there was also a dark energy of fire element erosion.
It was very troublesome to handle, and just relying on potions was entirely inadequate.
The flesh and blood that was cut off, without the suppressive effect of the chilling curse power, was instantly burnt into charcoal, and the mysterious dark fire energy even corroded the surgical knife to pitch black.
This made Tracy Garcia have to switch out several surgical knives midway through.
Even for Leonard Churchill who was watching, it was frightening.
This kind of strange injury would have killed an average person on the spot.
It was evident that the person who attacked Camilla was aware of her ice curse power and had used a restraining method.
Familiar with her abilities and able to ambush… the attacker must be a trusted companion.
Leonard Churchill thought of something.
But he didn’t rush to speak.
He closed his eyes and meditated, waiting for them to finish treating the wound.
Before long, Tracy Garcia had stitched up the wound.
Only then did that chilling demon’s power gradually fade away from Camilla’s body.
The three of them did not interact much.
Leonard Churchill and Camilla were accustomed to staying in each other’s presence quietly for long periods without speaking.
But Tracy Garcia felt the atmosphere was too cold, and out of curiosity, she couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, how did you stop those skeletons from chasing us just now?”
Leonard Churchill didn’t intend to explain much, but thinking there might be more trouble later, he said, “The triggering mechanism for the Skeleton Monster’s hatred is fluctuations in rationality. Don’t be afraid, don’t get excited, just try to suppress fluctuations.”
“Ah? Is that all?”
Tracy Garcia had been through this maze before, and didn’t understand why she had not known this.
But how can a normal person have no emotional fluctuations at all?
Leonard Churchill didn’t mean to explain further, so naturally, he wouldn’t mention the clown mask either.
He trusts Camilla, but that doesn’t mean he trusts others.
Seeing that Leonard Churchill didn’t want to talk more, Camilla timely interrupted Tracy Garcia’s curiosity, and asked, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, what should we do now?”
Leonard Churchill said, “Wait.”
It seemed that Camilla had become accustomed to this kind of offbeat thinking, after pondering for an instant, she understood immediately and nodded, “Mm-hmm.”
Hearing Camilla’s interruption, Tracy Garcia instantly forgot about the question she was going to ask just now.
When she heard the two of them talking about the next plan, she pricked up her ears.
Originally, she thought that this mysterious “Mr. Leonard Churchill” would have a detailed arrangement.
But by listening, the conversation between the two had ended just as it was starting?
This Spirit Communicator lady felt overwhelmed, turned her head to look at Camilla, then looked at Leonard Churchill, her crystal-clear eyes as wide as bell with a face full of question marks.
That’s it?
Wait for what?
Hey, hey, hey…
You guys should explain clearly.
These two individuals, like those who play dumb charades, just stopped talking like that?
Tracy Garcia still had questions that she wanted to ask, but she didn’t even realize that she had been staring for a bit too long.
Leonard Churchill found the intense desire for knowledge in the gaze of the Spirit Communicator lady mildly amusing.
Camilla’s companion seemed a bit silly and cute.
But it wasn’t surprising.
Because he had cooperated with Camilla before, they had some rhythm between them.
If others couldn’t keep up with that kind of thought process, it was normal.
Just having witnessed Tracy Garcia’s doctor side-job, she was more than just deadweight. Leonard Churchill elaborated, “Wait for all the members of the Miller Family to die before we take action. Otherwise, their frantic running around in the maze will bring a lot of unexpected risks.”
Upon hearing this, Tracy Garcia finally understood, and was heard muttering to herself, “So that’s how it is.”
The three fell into brief silence again.
At this moment, Leonard Churchill, having thought of something, asked, “Right, Ms. Tracy Garcia, why were you guys in the maze? Did you guys explode the train outside?”
He didn’t know if this question had anything to do with this ambush, but if he didn’t ask, he would always feel like something was missing.
Leonard Churchill knew if he asked Camilla this question, she would answer. But it might touch on topics she didn’t want to mention, like who betrayed her. Asking this of her companion would clearly yield more information. Leonard Churchill was very curious as to why they got involved in the assassination plot against the Miller Family.
On hearing the inquiry, Tracy Garcia glanced at Camilla, who remained silent, which could be taken as an affirmation to divulge.
She directly responded, “No. The ones who exploded the train were another group of looters. We just heard that there was a batch of medical supplies on this train. By coincidence, we needed those things, so we came to check it out. We didn’t expect to get caught up in this.
“Oh.”
Only then did Leonard Churchill understand.
Turns out they represented a fourth faction outside the Golden Oak, Governor’s Mansion, and the looters…
Needing large quantities of medical supplies also means they have a big power backing them.
But coincidentally, as soon as they became involved, Camilla was betrayed by a companion?
This made Leonard Churchill suspect that the person who wanted to kill Camilla was from their own power, and was directly related to the mastermin behind the plot to assassinate Governor Miller.
Even being trapped in the maze, they still sent someone to kill her.
Leonard Churchill thought to himself, “That being the case, Camilla’s identity is becoming more and more special…”
His thoughts flew in his mind, and the outline of the entire conspiracy was gradually becoming clear.
Now thinking about it.
Previous rumors in the city, such as the Miller Family having a supreme treasure, assassination rewards… and other news, seem to have been intentionally spread by someone.
All to force Governor Stan Miller to feel that his life was in danger in the Sinless City.
And then he would need to implement the plan to flee the city quietly using a modified freight train..
