“…”

Leonard Churchill glanced over it briefly; it was no different from the Hunter’s Associations in other places, posting tasks and invites for team explorations.

However, the difference lay in the fact that these missions were truly tempting.

Leonard Churchill quickly scanned the intelligence he could access, gathered the numerous fragmented pieces of information in his mind, and then pieced together some relatively complete storylines.

They were essentially about the “Ruins of Saint Crown City catastrophe” related mission narratives.

Leonard Churchill found nothing surprising in that.

What did mildly surprise him was the number and risks of the Alternate Dimensions, which were the most extreme he had ever seen.

According to the Mercenary Guild’s estimates, the explore-able Alternate Dimensions around the Ruins of Saint Crown City, where survivors carried out activities, comprised less than 5% of the total number!

This also meant that understanding these spaces could potentially take years, and numerous lives were likely to be lost here.

Leonard Churchill looked around and actually spotted several Alternate Dimensions that interested him.

The certain mortality rate and rewards of these spaces had always been of great interest to him.

Progressing from a Sixth Tier Advanced Card Master to a Top-level Card Master required substantial insight and Law Understanding.

Right now, Leonard Churchill also needed some external help.

Based on past experiences, Alternate Dimensions usually understood a card master’s needs better– as long as one could come out highly rated, the rewards were sure never to disappoint.

But he was not in a hurry.

Having just arrived at the camp, it was not too late to collect some intelligence before making a decision.

….

After wandering around the Hunter’s Association, Leonard Churchill started roaming around the camp.

His caution made him observe exit paths in every new environment.

The camp was extensive, nearly the size of a large city.

However, the major Mercenary Corps had divided most of the area, leaving only a few streets as public areas.

Apart from entertainment on Tavern Street, there was the Mercenary Market.

Mercenaries brought all sorts of strange things out of the relics, and many who weren’t leaving immediately would clear their inventory by setting up stalls to sell their finds.

After all, representatives from various Commerce Guilds of the Southern Continent responsible for buying goods were hanging around the camp.

Leonard Churchill walked along and soon came to the market.

He wanted to see what kind of items the relics were yielding to gather more information for his deductions.

Those who set up stalls were mostly solitary mercenaries or small teams, the quality of goods was not high, and there were various Appraisers constantly scouring the market.

Leonard Churchill walked around but found no “bargains.”

However, he did discover another eye-catching building.

Next to the Mercenary Market, there was a building constantly steaming with black smoke.

Initially, Leonard Churchill did not know the purpose of that building, but after observing a group of mercenaries hauling a pile of large items covered in grey cloth inside, he immediately understood.

This was the “Alchemy Workshop.”

Machinery is taboo in the Southern Continent.

So, all mechanical devices found in the Old Continent are typically destroyed on the spot, melted down into metal materials for forging weapons and armor.

Anyone found hoarding mechanical devices would be deemed a “heretic” by the Holy Tribunal and arrested.

And the Saint Crown City was once the Taren First Mechanical City, so it was certain that a lot of mechanical fragments would be produced from its ruins.

Coincidentally, while watching the group unload earlier, Leonard Churchill spotted a few familiar pieces among the Mecha fragments.

Were those not pieces of the Hunting God Armor?

People in the Southern Continent only valued the original materials of machinery, completely disregarding the technological value of those Mechas.

Seeing this, thoughts suddenly started flowing in Leonard Churchill’s mind: “The Mechanical Legion still needs a lot of rare Magic Energy metals… isn’t this just what we need?”

Whether it was for Catherine Carter’s Alliance Army or Lew Williams’s Black Gold Trade Union, the rare metals were far from sufficient for manufacturing a legion.

Now that the Ruins of Saint Crown City were producing a large amount of mechanical material, wasn’t it perfect?

And judging by the quantity, it was not a small amount.

It was probably produced from some mechanical-related Alternate Dimension or discovered in the relics.

Thinking this, Leonard Churchill planned to ask where these mechanical scraps were coming from.

He was also curious if there were clues about the [Titan Battle Armor] or the mysterious [Mechanical Angel] he had once heard about.

If he could find that, it would indeed be a surprise.
