Catastrophe Card King

Having said that, she seemed to recall something and smacked her forehead, “Oh, I almost forgot. You do understand the Tarang language. Such a wide range of knowledge must require a lot of reading.”

Leonard chuckled without explaining.

Tracy Garcia was musing as if she wanted to ask something. She pivoted and asked, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, what is your professional sequence?”

Sensing her abrupt question, she quickly added, “What I mean is… we are all going to the Greedy Mining Well. It would be helpful if we knew more about each other. My companions are a First Tier Black Knight and a ranger who is a nine-segment Card Disciple. They are not as formidable as Sister Camilla, but they are quite good.”

She did not want to admit that she had felt awkward when this question was previously posed and her companions had given her strange looks.

Claiming to know someone as a friend yet not knowing their profession was indeed odd.

Leonard, amused by her disconcerted demeanor, responded, “I suppose I am a close combatant. Hmm…Currently, I’m a gunman? As you know, I’m capable of solving puzzles.”

Tracy Garcia: “Oh.”

Being a gunman is not a professional sequence. Many people use guns.

Hearing his response, she realized she had been insensitive in prying into his personal matters and tactfully refrained from asking further questions.

Leonard, understanding how his statement could be misconstrued, did not offer any additional explanation.

It wasn’t that he intended to obscure the truth; he simply didn’t know how to elaborate.

Each person has their own tactics, and teaming up presents its own advantages.

Since they were heading to the same Alternate Dimension, Leonard thought it would be great to have Tracy Garcia, a Spirit Communicator and Doctor, as a teammate. Their abilities complemented each other.

Especially when facing high-level difficulties.

Leonard proactively said, “If we explore the Alternate Dimension together, mutual assistance will indeed make the venture easier. When the time comes, I may have to rely somewhat on Miss Tracy Garcia.”

“Right!”

Having heard Leonard’s invitation to team up, the slight gloom previously cast on her cute face disappeared. She then asked, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, what level of difficulty do you plan to test?”

She didn’t hide her intentions and said openly, “Actually…even though we don’t know if the witch potion in that space is what we’re looking for, the formula to treat that plague certainly can’t be low-grade. We probably need to challenge a difficulty level of B or above for it to appear. But as far as I know, the death rate exceeds 50% for those who attempt level B difficulty at the Greedy Mining Well…”

Given this mortality rate, many hunters pursuing wealth wouldn’t even consider such a challenge unless they wished to strike it rich.

Entering at levels C and D, which pose simpler challenges and making repeated attempts, would yield significant gains.

While she was saying this, she sneakily glanced at Leonard’s expression. Seeing his face remain expressionless, she felt somewhat apprehensive.

“Okay.”

Leonard had no reaction to her comments.

He needed materials of at least silver grade and would therefore eventually select difficulty levels of B and above.

However, he proceeded cautiously saying, “We’ll start with the simple challenges and see how it goes. Later, I should be able to take on B-level challenges.”

A certain level of excitement broke through Tracy’s attempts to temper her feelings, “That’s excellent!”

Even though they had only met once, she had no idea why she felt Leonard would be of great help to her.

Having discussed all necessary matters, she suddenly remembered something else.

A crestfallen look passed over Tracy’s eyes as she asked, “Uh…Mr. Leonard Churchill, there is one more thing.”

Leonard took a sip of tea and turned to look at her, “Hmm?”

The worried Tracy asked, “I’m wondering…have you seen Sister Camilla recently?”

Upon hearing this question, Leonard turned his head, seeming astounded, “Isn’t Camilla with you?”

Isn’t Camilla with your group? Why are you asking me?

However, he quickly guessed that something might have happened to his old friend.

Tracy shook her head.

Failing to receive any news, her expression dimmed. She said, “After we left the Grand Cemetery, I found Sister Camilla. She hadn’t been assassinated…but she was in a bad state. Then she disappeared. We’ve been worried. I thought she might come find you.”

Leonard’s expression changed slightly upon hearing that Camilla hadn’t been hit by an assassin.

It was good news that his old friend hadn’t died.

But why…why would you think she’d come looking for me?

Leonard wondered. Although they were familiar, they had only met twice.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Having been betrayed by her family, she probably had nowhere else to go.

Having discussed everything, they realized the night was getting late.

Tracy Garcia had no intention of staying any longer.

At this moment, Leonard remembered something and asked, “Miss Tracy Garcia, do you have any medical books with you?”

He needed extensive medical knowledge to learn the “Cellular Activity Boiling” spell.

Although he had found some in the Plague Doctor Hensen’s Storage Ring, most of them were related to poisons, with some Second Tier medical books that were hard to understand.

Now that he had bumped into Miss Tracy Garcia, who was a competent Doctor and Spirit Communicator, he thought to ask.

Hearing this, Tracy was noticeably surprised, but also willing: “Uh…yes.”

Without asking why, she directly took several books out of her Storage Ring. However, she wondered out loud, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, are you planning to tread the path of healing?”

Leonard Churchill didn’t give a definite answer, he just smiled, “I’ve been studying some spells recently that require medical knowledge.”

Gazing at the thick books, he asked, “Could I borrow these to read? I’ll return them to you in a few days.”

Tracy cheerfully replied, “Of course.”

Feeling as if she could make herself useful, she brightened and added, “These are just the books I carry with me. I have many more at home. If you need them, I can bring them next time.”

Since she had been taken care of during her time at the Grand Cemetery, she felt more at ease being able to offer some assistance.

Leonard said, “Thank you. Let’s talk about it after I finish reading these.”

Regardless of whether he understood the books or not, he wanted to use his photographic memory to memorize them first, which might be useful for later digestion.

However, upon reflection, he found Tracy’s words strange.

She had many more at home?

What did this Spirit Communicator’s family do for a living?

Very few families in Sinless City collected many medical books.

Moreover, these hardcover handprinted volumes appeared to be antique, possibly hundreds of years old.

They were even older than the set of “Card Master Encyclopedia” he had purchased.

Having this realization, Leonard chuckled.

This Miss Tracy, she was quite a naive little miss, revealing so much information even though it was just a few books.

Tracy Garcia didn’t understand why he laughed, but she knew it was getting late and it would be rude to stay longer.

She packed up the teapot and said, “Well, Mr. Leonard Churchill, I’ll go back and rest. See you tomorrow.”

Leonard Churchill nodded, “Okay.”

As soon as the door closed, his thoughts were already on the books.

He returned to his routine of cultivation and studying for the day..
