Catastrophe Card King-Chapter 651 - 217: Reuniting with Master Merlin_3
Chapter 651: Chapter 217: Reuniting with Master Merlin_3
Master Merlin’s laboratory was located underground in this block.
Leonard Churchill skillfully slid down hundreds of meters along the pipes with a steel cable and soon arrived at the mouth of a huge abandoned sewage pipe.
Master Merlin did not see outsiders.
Last time he was able to see Master Merlin because of an appointment made by Lord Nine Brown, and it was together with Seven Brown.
This time, Leonard did not know if Master Merlin was in the laboratory, and he was well aware it was not a place one could simply enter, so he just waited at the entrance to the pipe.
He could endure the loneliness.
While waiting, he continued to read and research classic books.
As luck would have it, it wasn’t a long wait before the faint sound of footsteps approached from the pipe.
Leonard looked up and saw a fat, tall, and endearing Totoro holding an orange lantern coming into view.
Having seen it a second time, he knew this Totoro could speak and stood up with a smile to greet it, “Hello, Mr. Totoro.”
The chubby Totoro seemed to remember having seen this human before and glanced at him, “My master sent me to bring you in.”
Saying this, it picked up its lantern and turned and walked deeper into the dark corridor.
Leonard followed right behind.
Last time he came, it was to prepare the advancement of the Second Tier Air Skill Master Profession Card.
Now, his strength had increased more than tenfold from before.
But the stronger he got, the more he could sense the deadly dangers lurking in the dark corridor as he walked through it.
It was indeed the right decision not to come rashly.
…
Following the familiar path downwards, it wasn’t long before Leonard arrived at a familiar super laboratory.
What caught his eye were still the various large and small experimental tanks filled with green liquid in which all sorts of strange creatures were immersed.
However, upon a quick glance, Leonard noticed there were clear differences from last time.
In the research equipment, there were evidently some black tech devices that did not fit the era; and among the specimens soaking there, there were also limbs of super tier unknown creatures…
With a bit of thought, Leonard guessed that most likely, these were treasures recently discovered on the Old Continent.
As the exploitation of new territories surged on, a large number of high-level treasures were being found and transported back to Sinless City.
Being one of the three legendary Card Makers of the Federation, and also located at the forefront of the relics in Sinless City, Master Merlin naturally had plenty of top-quality materials at hand.
And those top-tier treasures, could only truly showcase their value in the hands of such a high-level master.
When Leonard entered, he saw Master Merlin, dressed in a white lab coat, busy with some equipment.
He did not disturb him, just waiting quietly on the side.
That wait lasted for half an hour.
Master Merlin was absorbed in his research, seemingly having completely forgotten that he had a visitor. freewёbnoνel.com
Finally finishing up his immediate task, he let out a sigh of relief and then, as if suddenly remembering, turned back to Leonard and said, “Oh, I almost forgot, we have a guest.”
Leonard did not take offense, smiling and bowing respectfully, “It’s an honor to see you, Master Merlin.”
Master Merlin was short-tempered, but Leonard found him quite approachable.
Business was business, without any need for nonsense.
With a glance at Leonard, Master Merlin seemed to understand, speaking directly, “Are you here to have a Third Tier Profession card refined?”
While speaking, he even spared a moment to admirably comment, “You’re in quite a good state.”
But that was it, after which he turned his head back to continue his research.
Leonard was not surprised that the other could see it, his attributes were already maxed out at this state.
He did not hide his purpose, stating directly, “Indeed, I have come to ask for the master’s help.”
But he also knew the rule of equivalent exchange.
Last time, Lord Nine Brown had to call in a big favor to get this master’s help, and Leonard Churchill didn’t think he had that kind of clout.
He directly took out a Containment Card and said, “I visited the Old Continent and encountered some Dragon Descendant creatures in an Alternate Dimension, and was lucky enough to obtain some material samples…”
“Dragon Descendant?”
Upon hearing this, Master Merlin instantly became interested.
He turned his head to look over.
Originally, he was only slightly interested, for he had recently received too many good things to study them all.
But upon seeing the Containment Card in Leonard’s hand, the old man’s pupils visibly narrowed: “Epic-level Material?”
What Leonard took out was naturally the Blood of the Red Dragon that he had obtained during the Battle of Ironforge!
Such comparatively pure Dragon Blood was absolutely tempting to a top-tier master like Master Merlin.
As expected!
Leonard had just taken out the card, before he could react, he saw Master Merlin, who had been tens of meters away just a moment ago, suddenly appear before him, then grab the Containment Card with glowing eyes, and, after a quick check, exclaimed in amazement, “It really is Dragon’s Blood!”
Leonard didn’t mind the card being snatched away; he had intended to give it to the master anyway.
After all, he would be relying on this person for any Profession Cards or Spell Cards he might need in the future.
And by looking at Master Merlin’s expression, he knew the favor was not a small one.
At the same time, he also marveled internally: “Such incredible speed.”
This legendary Card Maker was also incredibly strong.
Having obtained the Blood of the Red Dragon, Master Merlin in the blink of an eye was back before his instruments, muttering to himself as he prepared to start his research immediately.
“Hahaha, Dragon’s Blood! With this kind of gene, I finally have a sample of a complete Mythical Creature…”
“Now I can finally start the experimental phase of that project…”
“Ah… With such good Material, from which direction should I start my research…”
“…”
Seeing the situation, Leonard realized the old man seemed likely to forget about him again.
He quickly spoke up, “Master, I have another request this time. I’d like to ask for your help in crafting a Profession Card.”
As he said this, Leonard directly took out the crafting template for the Dragon Slayer·Beowulf.
As expected, he had forgotten. Master Merlin slapped his forehead, “Oh, I almost forgot again. You brought this great stuff because you want to craft a Profession Card.”
Originally, he thought Leonard was looking for advice, as was the case last time, and then for the crafting.
But when he looked back, Leonard had already taken out a template.
Master Merlin glanced at it and his eyes lit up once more: “Oh… a Legend Hero exclusive edition? Extremely rare.”
Another teleport, and he had the documents in his hand, confirming after just one glance, “Tsk tsk, this is a rare ‘Unique Template’ that has no record of existing thus far. Good stuff!!!”
In the entire Federation, there weren’t many things that could catch the eye of a legendary card master like this.
And these Unique Crafting Templates were among them.
The happiness of this kind of “collecting” was something ordinary people simply couldn’t understand.
Master Merlin looked at the template and then at Leonard, and couldn’t help praising again: “You must have experienced a very difficult Alternate Dimension to have obtained a Profession Card of this Quality. Hey, lad, you’re pretty capable.”
As he spoke, he added, “This template suits your current situation better than any Profession Card I know of. Tsk tsk… Big Chance there. However, to bring out the best use of this Profession Card, you’ll need some very hard-to-find Materials…”
Before the old man could finish, Leonard took out a pile of Dragon Descendant materials he had previously acquired and said, “Master, do you think these might be suitable…”
Items such as Split-mouthed Woman’s Scissors, Earth Dragon’s Dignity (Gold), Demonic Dragon Hawk’s Claw (Shining Silver), Magical Stomach Pouch of the Fire Dragon (Gold)…
In addition to Materials, he also presented some body materials.
After all, Leonard couldn’t do much with these items except sell them, so why not turn them into a favor.
Seeing so many Dragon Descendant Materials spread out before him, Master Merlin’s expression suddenly became much more animated.
Looking at Leonard, as if seeing treasure, he exclaimed with a mix of shock and joy, “You… You lad actually have so many Dragon Descendant Materials?!”
