Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1437 - Chapter 1437 441

Chapter 1437: 441 Chapter 1437: 441 It wasn’t just the subtle etiquette of interaction.

More importantly, Catherine Carter was genuinely amazed.

The machinery in Seven Brown’s apartment were of laboratory level, several versions ahead of the standard military models.

There were also unique designs and products that were replicas of ancient blueprints.

This machinery could be said to represent the pinnacle of the current age of technology.

And Seven Brown had an artist’s aesthetic for machinery, her creations, even the most violent of weapons, were imbued with a brutal beauty.

Here, Catherine Carter saw the future of Alliance Army’s mechanical equipment.

She also saw the boundless future of mechanical civilization.

“Wow… Miss Rita, can your workshop really be controlled with an ‘Octopus Mechanical Arm’? That’s so impressive…”

“Is that the ‘Rhodes Type 7 Boiler’? I’ve heard that Miss Rita designed and improved it…”

“Eh, what’s the purpose of this magic energy device? My goodness, it’s actually a Siege Hammer? It looks more like a Magic Energy Greatsword…”

“This is your improved version of the ‘Hunting God Armor’, Miss Rita? Oh… this is the most beautiful battle armor I’ve ever seen. I heard from Leonard Churchill that the blueprint for the Hunting God Armor was something you adventured to the Orlan Royal Family to procure. It must have been a thrilling experience…”

“…”

Once the discussion turned to machinery, Seven Brown had a lot to say.

Catherine Carter asked earnestly and Seven Brown explained with equal seriousness.

As they talked, it wasn’t long before the initial awkwardness dissipated.

From time to time, Seven Brown would also take the initiative to showcase some of her proudest creations.

Catherine would respond with heartfelt exclamations of astonishment.

Leonard Churchill watched from the side, keenly aware of the change, and was pleased by it.

Catherine Carter, as the Alliance Army Commander, was truly very concerned with machinery and asked very detailed questions.

But to fully explain all the machinery in the apartment would probably take days and nights.

After a brief tour, the three planned to sit down and chat.

Most of Seven Brown’s apartment had been converted into a workshop, long eschewing the useless space of a living room.

The entire apartment was in a wartime style; there wasn’t even a single intact wall, and even the bed and the bathroom were in plain sight.

Apart from two rudimentary iron chairs in the record room, there was only a soft lazy sofa in the corner of the wall.

The three walked over, and Seven Brown said to Catherine Carter, “Miss Carter, as I said earlier, my place is pretty bare-bones…”

Catherine Carter, with an unconcerned expression, laughed, “Miss Rita, don’t treat me like one of those pampered princesses from a Noble Family, I really don’t mind.”

Leonard Churchill, of course, knew this and also felt that the empty formalities between them were pointless. He motioned to them, “Have a seat. What would you like to drink?”

Catherine thought for a moment and raised an eyebrow, “Alcohol?”

Leonard nodded, “Sure.”

It was, after all, his own home, so Seven Brown casually plopped down, and Leonard handed her a cup, which he placed on a rudimentary coffee table.

Catherine Carter was still wearing her commander uniform, replete with internal fixings and unsuitable for sitting on a low sofa. Without any pretense, she simply took off her jacket.

Leonard helped her by hanging it on a coat stand.

Without her uniform, Catherine became more casual, like a friend; her demeanor lacked any invisible pressure typical of a superior.

“To our health~”

“To our health.”

Once the drinks were poured, the three made a toast and began to sip their beverages.

It was just the three of them in the room, so there was no need to watch what they said.

After a few lines of small talk, Catherine Carter also brought up some official business.

Catherine Carter, “Didn’t I mention this afternoon that the three empires on the Southern Continent are now sending large numbers of troops to the Old Continent, and the situation in the East Wilderness is bound to become very bleak… The most important reason for this is the upper echelons of the Holy Church… It is said that they’ve foreseen some future events through Divination, hence the change in strategic plans.”

“Divination?”

Leonard Churchill had been quite curious as to why the people of the Southern Continent suddenly decided to invade the Old Continent on a large scale.

He’d initially thought it was an exaggeration used for negotiations, but now it seemed the matter was more serious.

Catherine nodded and said, “Word came from the Rebel Dragon Army that the prophecies of the Holy Church’s Prophet revealed several strong figures of Royal Destiny set to emerge on the Old Continent, so they want to eliminate these threats beforehand.”

As she spoke, there was a contemplative look in her eyes.

“Royal Destiny…”

Leonard Churchill pondered inwardly.

He, of course, knew what that meant.

A bearer of Royal Destiny signified a powerful political regime.

The people of the Southern Continent would definitely not want to see this happen, so it was normal for them to want to nip any threats in the bud.

Moreover, there was likely one of such individuals right before his eyes.

Catherine Carter had already gathered a hero’s fate; as the Alliance Army Commander-in-Chief, she would likely lead any future nation she established.

Then there was Camilla, the Augustus Bloodline.

Since coming out of the Alternate Dimension, Leonard had noticed her Royal Destiny becoming stronger and stronger. The fact that the descendants of Taron’s old courtiers within the Rebel Dragon Army seemed to support her also made the future uncertain;

Even King Arthur of Orlan, who was currently trapped in the East Wilderness, shouldn’t be underestimated.

Leonard thought that if he were in the upper ranks of the Holy Church and knew of this intelligence, he too would choose to smother these nascent powers.

However, after learning of this news, his deductions about the political landscape included some new variables.

“Oh, right!”

Suddenly thinking of something, Catherine added, “The spread of this news happened two days after the establishment of the Teleportation Array.”
