Catastrophe Card King

“I see…”

Leonard Churchill looked at the mech, his eyes slightly narrowed.

The steam black technology of this world was not designed from scratch but

was quite advanced in ancient times.

It is said that the technology of the goblins during the mythical era possessed combat power that could compete with the Great Dragon.

Even the mechanical technology of the Taren Dynasty, which had a gap of three thousand years, was much better than today’s.

However, Leonard still thought that Seven Brown was very impressive.

This reminded him of their first encounter at “Benson’s Antique Bookstore” when Seven Brown had come to look for ancient books.

He thought she was a collector, but it turned out that she wanted the books for her own learning.

Seven Brown didn’t say much, seeming to think that he understands. She casually asked, “Are you also interested in machinery?”

Without waiting for his response, she pointed to a study filled with various blueprints and ancient books, saying: “These are the various ancient books I’ve collected. Feel free to look at what you want, there’s no need to be polite. If you need anything, just let me know.”

Although she didn’t think Leonard could understand them.

Finding someone to share her collection with was rare enough.

Leonard didn’t beat around the bush and walked over.

As soon as he flicked on the light, he was astonished by the array of ancient documents and rubbings densely piled all over the place. The shelves were filled with thick books related to machinery.

“So many…”

Leonard was slightly taken aback by the sight.

An entire room full of ancient documents, many of which were genuine

antiques and rare copies.

Even top aristocrats may not have these in their collections.

They were all treasures.

Leonard initially intended to examine Seven Brown’s collection, assuming

there wouldn’t be much.

Then he planned to probe about other things, such as other books collected by the Flood Gang.

However, seeing so many ancient books, he couldn’t put forth going elsewhere.

At this moment, his idea was to finish reading all of these first.

Seven Brown tidied up her desk, saying, “I spend most of my time here usually. Sometimes I get so engrossed I spend several days…”

As she said this, she confirmed with Leonard Churchill, “Are you really interested in these ancient books? Or, would you rather go downstairs and I’ll arrange some beauties for you?”

Of course, Leonard was interested in the ancient books, “This is fine.

Seven Brown didn’t say anything more, and just said, “Then feel free to look around. If you need anything, call me. I need to repair my mech anyways. It had some minor issues during the previous battle.”

With that, she walked out and started fiddling with her tools.

Leonard sat down and began to flip through the ancient secrets that had been

sorted out.

Most of them were related to machinery, but a part of them was not.

No matter what, Leonard read them attentively.

Many of the notes on the ancient documents were written in delicate script. Leonard occasionally frowned and couldn’t help but make corrections.

After all, he was now proficient in the ancient language of the Taren era and easily found mistakes in many of the annotations on these documents and so simply marked them out.

The two were separated by a glass window.

One was fiddling with machinery outside and the other was reading inside.

Seven Brown was also a little puzzled, could there be someone interested in these dry ancient secrets?

Before she came, she had doubts about Leonard’s motives.

But she didn’t want to speculate negatively on the man who saved her several times.

Steal her mech’s technology?

Seven Brown felt that if he really wanted it, she would give it to him if he

asked.

She owed him a life-saving favor and couldn’t pay it back.

As long as she could give it materially, she didn’t mind it at all.

On the contrary, she felt that being able to repay materially was the simplest.

But with the current situation, this Leonard is not looking at the blueprints, but he is really interested in those ancient books.

This confused Seven Brown.

So while tinkering with the mech, she will occasionally glance into the archive

room.

Seeing Leonard’s focused look didn’t seem to be pretending, which made Seven Brown even more puzzled.

She took a glance at the cover, what he was holding was actually a fragment of a mechanical classics from the Taren era.

She couldn’t understand it herself; could he?

However, what surprised Seven Brown even more came later.

As she watched, she actually saw Leonard modifying her notes?

Seven Brown could no longer suppress her doubts, leaning out from the side of the glass and asked, “Can you understand these ancient Taren books?”

Leonard looked at her and didn’t answer fully, “Well. I can understand them barely.”

Seven Brown didn’t believe it, and asked in surprise, “Are you from the Scholar’s professional sequence?”

You must know that the Taren Dynasty was a civilization that was destroyed three thousand years ago, and its written inheritance had long been lost.

Before, she searched the entire Sinless City and couldn’t find anyone proficient in the Taren ancient language.

Now, this man of about the same age as her claimed to understand?

Aren’t you a werewolf?

And also a doctor.

How did you become a scholar now?

“No.”

Leonard knew what she was doubting and laughed, saying, “I just like to study ancient books in my spare time, so I understand some ancient texts.

Hearing these words. Seven Brown’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Are you joking?

She hurriedly walked in and looked at the notes she had modified, asking, “Did you really understand?”

Leonard didn’t elaborate, he just pointed out casually, “The translation of this sentence isn’t ‘forge shaping’, it should be ‘extraction of the characteristics of extraordinary materials after heat treatment’. If I’m not mistaken, the blueprints show this extraction process…

“And this sentence in the gunpowder formula can’t be directly translated as ‘fire dragon burns the castle and emits white smoke’, it’s a kind of encrypted metaphor, it should refer to the process of material heat volatilization reaction, the volatile elements need to be extracted….”
