Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1236 - Chapter 1236 Chapter 380 Thousand Mechanism Puppet God Sect

Chapter 1236: Chapter 380 “Thousand Mechanism Puppet God Sect” _3 Chapter 1236: Chapter 380 “Thousand Mechanism Puppet God Sect” _3 It’s good that we can talk.

He didn’t answer, but cleverly countered, “If there is something your Excellency desires, just speak frankly. As long as I can offer it, I will not refuse.”

These words were actually very astute.

He was, in fact, leaving himself an out.

Because in the face of absolute power, the weak have no right to negotiate terms.

In other words, if the other party wanted to forcibly take something, he was powerless to stop them.

But by saying this, allowing the other party to choose the negotiation chips, it established the foundation for a trade.

Experts all have their pride, and Lenny could see that although this S-grade fugitive was a bit ruthless in killing, he seemed to have his own principles.

“Oh?”

Leonard Churchill raised an eyebrow as he listened.

Of course, this fellow’s little schemes couldn’t escape his notice.

It seemed that the lessons learned from past mishaps had greatly educated Mister Lenny over the years.

Since the other party had said to choose at will, Leonard was not shy; he directly asked, “What is the Demon God Secret Skill that your lineage of Puppeteer Gods cultivate?”

…

As Lenny listened, his expression grew stern; his most valuable bargaining chip had been asked for right off the bat.

But although he felt somewhat bitter about it, he wasn’t surprised.

He had observed the previous battle carefully; others might not see the secrets of this man’s methods, but he knew that this man was well-versed in several Demon God Secret Skills.

The fact that he was eyeing the secret techniques of his Trickster lineage was expected.

Lenny’s thoughts raced, and he responded directly, “One of the Fifty-two Demonic God Forbidden Techniques, the ‘Thousand Mechanism Puppet God Sect.’ It is a collection of puppetry, trickery secret skills, and consciousness manipulation, comprising three major categories: Thousand Mechanism, Puppet, and God Sect…”

Leonard’s eyes flashed with a sharp brilliance as he said indifferently, “Let’s hear it.”

He had been curious about the secret skills of the Trickster lineage before.

Originally, he thought he’d need to take down Domingo to get a glimpse of the secrets of the Playgod Clan’s cultivation techniques.

He hadn’t expected now there seemed to be another way to obtain them.

Lenny had already resigned himself to the idea of a trade, and spoke bluntly, “The Original Gold Template is in the hands of the generations of ‘Puppeteer Gods.’ I only have the part of the secret technique that I understand. Of course, if your Excellency thinks highly of my insignificant skills, I am willing to present as chips all the insights I’ve gained about trickery over the years.”

He knew very well that at this moment, he could only make his chips as valuable as possible to have a chance at exchange.

There was no issue with concealing things from someone much stronger than himself.

Moreover, in his view, the other party was most likely just interested in understanding the methods of the Trickster lineage.

After all, the mysteries of the Trickster lineage were manifold and not something anyone could master.

Leonard nodded in satisfaction, “Hmm, if that’s the case, we can indeed talk.”

Lenny furrowed his brows, thinking: That’s only a ‘can’ talk?

Leonard didn’t want to cause any misgivings, so he revealed his own chips: “I also need the Sixth Tier Profession Card of the Trickster lineage, preferably the Original Template. If you can provide that, I’m willing to agree to an exchange by letting you hold onto the relics for some time.”

He didn’t know what the other party had, but since the Puppeteer God Family’s legacy hadn’t been cut off, he aimed high.

He thought that even if there wasn’t an Original Template, other revised versions would suffice.

However, once he mentioned his conditions, the other side indeed found them difficult.

Lenny’s face showed difficulty as he said, “The Original Template? I’m sorry, but such things have always been secretly stored in the treasury of the Puppeteer God Family, and I don’t have one.”

Hearing this, Leonard also expressed regret, offhandedly saying, “Well, contact me when you have it.”

Just some fragments of incomplete secret skills were not enough to justify an exchange for the inheritances within the relics.

And he could see that Lenny was clearly hiding something.

Since he wasn’t the anxious one, Leonard felt it was time to pressure the other party.

Seeing that the trade was on the verge of falling through, Lenny’s expression grew very ugly.

This was his only chance, and he didn’t want to lose it.

“Wait.”

Lenny’s expression struggled for a moment, as if he had made some difficult decision: “Although I do not have the Sixth Tier Profession Card template of the Trickster lineage, I have this…”

As he spoke, he pulled out a crimson card.

Leonard watched the man’s entire performance.

The Trickster was also an actor, but no abnormalities were detected.

But the item in his hand was indeed a treasure.

[Thousand Hands Trickery]

Quality: Dark Gold

Detailed Explanation: The “Red Heart 7 Trickster” is a sixth-tier bloody card of the trickster sequence; an original template; after fusing it with high-quality materials no less than golden quality, it can be refined into a completed profession card; fusion requires extremely high skill and mental power, successful fusion grants massive professional attribute growth, and obtains the exclusive profession entry “Thousand Hands”.

…

Leonard Churchill looked at this bloody card, also surprised: is there really such a thing as an original template?

To know that a card master capable of fusing such a high-tier profession card must be extremely powerful.

Which is to say, could this possibly be from the body of a legend that was analyzed?

Had Domingo not been alive, Leonard would have suspected that this was a profession card merged by Domingo.

Soon, Lenny also revealed the origin of this card: “This is my grandfather’s bloody card.”

Leonard suddenly understood and responded, “The bloody card of Grandmaster Puppeteer ‘Odd Puppeteer’ Yami from two hundred years ago?”

Two hundred years ago, when the Orlan Dynasty fell, all four Knights beneath the King died in battle.

Leonard himself had not expected that, after two hundred years, he would see the bloody card of that legendary figure.

“Yes.”

Lenny felt a sense of loss yet explained, “This was originally the profession card I intended to fuse. But my body has already been corroded by toxins, and it’s no longer possible for me to fuse such a card.”

More than that, it was also a memento.

It represented the reward he was given as the “number one genius” of the Puppeteer God Family at that time.

Though Lenny had little affection for the current Playgod Clan, he still held respect for his ancestors.

After all, it was through their heritage that he could glimpse the ultimate secrets of puppetry.

Seeing this, Leonard did not press the issue further, “Alright!”

This profession card was indeed very ideal for him.

When Lenny heard the agreement from the other party, he felt a sense of disbelief.

It had been agreed to so easily?

Speaking truthfully, the two items he had put forward as bargaining chips were far from equaling the value of what was in those photos.

He had been prepared to gamble his entire fortune on this.

He hadn’t expected the other party to agree so readily.

Leonard casually tossed the photo over, saying, “Keep the items for now. However, I will stay with you during the time you work on comprehending them.”

He had no intention of causing difficulties for the other party, that was one thing.

As for value, it is all a matter of subjective judgment.

He had gotten what he wanted, which made it worthwhile to him.

Secondly, Leonard was also very interested in the legacy hidden within those relics.

But he had also seen the nefarious nature of that thing and knew he couldn’t attempt it himself.

Having someone do it on his behalf was, of course, the best option.

Lenny guessed Leonard’s thoughts, but this was all part of the deal, and he found it only fair.

Looking at the photograph in his hand, Lenny’s expression grew complex.

He had once thought of betting his life to obtain the relics, and now he had achieved it so simply? It felt almost dreamlike.

Moreover, with such a powerful figure by his side, it felt even safer.

Having the items in his possession, at least he didn’t have to worry about when enemies might come chasing after him.

With that thought, Lenny rowed the small boat into the depths of the secret passage.

Leonard did not ask where the other was taking him, nor was he worried.

Before long, the boat did not head for the surface, but instead moved along the Underground Dark River and came to a dark outfall of a sewer.

Lenny retracted the machinery folding boat, and the two of them made their way down the drainage pipes.

After about half an hour, Leonard suddenly heard rustling voices.

Crossing a small bridge made of old planks and metal pieces across a sewage ditch, Leonard came upon a ramshackle camp of wooden shacks and tents.

A few faint lights illuminated it.

The camp wasn’t large, seemingly housing a few hundred people. Most were cloaked, wearing gas masks, and shrouded in secrecy.

Leonard observed for a moment and even sensed some individuals with not weak auras.

Lenny introduced, “This is a fugitive camp, people call it ‘Rat Camp’. I mostly live here too.”

As he spoke, he seemed somewhat apologetic, “The environment is a bit harsh, I hope you don’t mind. After all, this is the safest place I can think of in the City of Thieves.”

Looking around, Leonard wasn’t concerned at all, “Of course.”

The extensive network of pipes also seemed very suitable to him.
