Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 1241: Chapter 382 Divination_2 Chapter 1241: Chapter 382 Divination_2 Saying this, he put on his cloak, concealed his mechanical body, and led Leonard Churchill down the stairs.

…

Leonard Churchill followed behind Lenny, observing his old mechanical arm covered by the cloak, and asked the question he had been curious about before, “Is the transformation of your body done using ‘Neural Mechanical Technology’?”

It is well-known that the technology of neural mechanics has an extremely high threshold.

Although the machinery of this era can be considered black technology, the technology for mechanical prostheses is still not mature, at best replacing some metal skeletons, like knee bones and other small parts; a total replacement of most of the body like this was the first time Leonard Churchill had seen it.

And it was also the first time he saw someone combine machinery with Puppetry.

Lenny said with a bitter smile, “The materials needed for neural mechanics are beyond what I can afford. Moreover, many of these technologies have already been lost in the East Wilderness.”

He also had no intention of hiding anything, and he continued, “I just used some biological limbs as replacements and then added a mechanical skeleton to them.”

Leonard Churchill listened and roughly understood the reason. It wasn’t as cutting-edge as he thought, but it was still very impressive.

He thought and then said, “Have you ever thought about using Mechanical Battle Armor as Puppets?”

Experts always set their sights high, and as soon as Lenny heard this, he guessed what he meant, “You must be talking about something like ‘Titan Battle Armor,’ right?”

Ordinary mechanical combat mechs are too clumsy to be worth using as Puppets.

His tone was somewhat sorrowful as he explained, “Our predecessors had actually attempted it long ago. But top-tier Puppets like the Titan Battle Armor demand a lot from a Mechanic. To control ordinary combat Puppets, ‘hundred’ commands as a unit are needed; to precisely control Titan Battle Armor, it might take ‘ten thousand’ or even ‘hundred thousand’ level commands. Even if I could step into the Top-Rank Card Master Domain, controlling one or two battle armors would already be my limit, and the efficiency might not even be higher than a Mechanic’s. In comparison, with the same tier, the numerical advantage of Extraordinary Puppets is more significant in group battles…”

“…”

Leonard Churchill slightly raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. Could that really be true?

He had projected a similar outcome before and was just asking out of curiosity.

Not surprisingly, he received the expected answer.

What Lenny had just described was the normal case. After thinking it over, Leonard felt he could share some of his own insights and continued, “However, I have an idea, which is to use some biological Puppets to control machinery. For example, special Demon Beasts like the ‘Tentacle Monster’ that are adept at manipulation. If we simplify the Mechanical Battle Armor, after all, biological Puppets are replaceable and don’t require the strict protection needed by Mechanics. That way, in theory, we could control a huge Mechanical Puppet Legion. But…”

Listening, Leonard was also thinking along in his head–indeed, theoretically, it seemed feasible.

When Lenny reached this point, his expression revealed the plight of being financially strained.

Puppet Masters have always been known to incur humongous costs in the Professional Sequence, especially when researching new Puppets.

His idea was all in theory; he had no means to try it out.

Leonard Churchill considered this and remained silent without saying anything more.

…

The two walked out of the wooden house.

Lenny, hailing from a noble family, had more extensive knowledge than anyone else in the camp.

And due to the status of “Teacher,” everyone in the camp respected him greatly.

Along the way, people greeted them, and some were curious about Leonard Churchill, the outsider, and whispered amongst themselves.

After turning a few corners, they arrived next to a sewer teeming with red-eye rats and finally saw the small wooden house.

As they approached, Granny Ge, as if she already knew they were coming, called out from inside, “Lenny… bring the guest in.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than hundreds of rats came scurrying out of the house.

Lenny responded, “Hmm,” and went in first.

Leonard Churchill followed behind.

As soon as he entered, he saw a white rat wearing a red floral jacket lazily smoking a pipe on a chair.

Although it was a rat, it was evident that its face bore the shadow of an elderly woman.

The wisps of blue smoke rose, and the wise eyes of the rat sizing up Leonard Churchill with a flicker.

At first glance, the rat wearing the red jacket looked slightly taken aback, seemingly puzzled by something it saw, but it quickly hid its surprise.

Leonard Churchill looked at Granny Ge’s true form as a large rat and remained unruffled.

He had already learned from Lenny’s words that she had been backlashed by Divination.

[Red Heart 6-Seer] is a branch of the Path of Wisdom profession; few card masters in this Sequence meet good ends.

Lenny introduced, “Granny Ge, this is Leonard Churchill. A guest visiting the camp.”

Leonard Churchill also nodded politely in greeting.

Being a visitor, there was no need for much ceremony, so he got straight to the point, “Granny Ge, I would like a divination.”

The white rat said indifferently, “What would you like to divine, guest?”

Leonard Churchill replied, “I want to divine good or ill. I want to know if I will face any danger soon. It doesn’t need to be too precise, just a confirmation of whether it will happen is enough.”

He wanted to confirm whether his own perception was correct.

This was also related to his subsequent travel plans.

Upon hearing this, Lenny was also slightly surprised.

He thought Leonard Churchill would divine something more special but it turned out to be so simple.

Predicting good or ill fortune is one of the most favored services for Diviners because it comes at a low cost.

It only requires a rough judgment rather than a specific direction.

Without waiting for an answer, Leonard Churchill took the initiative, “What price do I need to pay?”

The white rat replied decisively, “Since Lenny brought you as a guest, some food and supplies will do.”
