Catastrophe Card King

Upon seeing this, an exclamation of astonishment immediately emerged from the crowd.

“This… how is this possible?”

“Are we certain this is simply mechanical equipment?”

“By just a First-Tier[Warrior], the Frost Knight Armor was actually broken open?”

“Gasp…”

Everyone couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.

The Second Master of Miller Family beside the stage, seeing everybody’s astonished expressions, had a satisfied smile spread across his plump face.

But this is not the end.

Although the double sword aura had cracked the armor’s defense, the outcome had yet to be decided.

Just then, the mechanical arm of the warrior made a click, a cannon muzzle sprung out and began to charge up energy.

Even though the two frost knights obviously had some elements of dramatic pausing as targets, the effect still exploded.

After the cannon muzzle glowed blue, there was a bang, followed by a blue mana blast that directly hit the chest plate, the most highly defensive area of a frost knight.

“Boom!”

The eyes of the people in the banquet hall widened as they watched the towering frost knight fly backward and crash to the ground.

At that moment, it felt as if time had stood still.

The Frost Knight Armor now had a spider-web-like crack, and blood had started to seep out.

The demonstration ended.

Two types of brand-new mechanical equipment, close and long-range had both caused fatal threats to the low-tier invincible Frost Knight.

All who had witnessed this scene understood that this alone was enough to be called a groundbreaking technological discovery of an epoch!

For a time, the large banquet turned deadly silent.

The nobles were shocked by the absurd scene before them and were too stunned to speak.

Leonard Churchill, who had carefully observed the process, had to admit: “Intriguing… now, mechanical equipment poses a threat to card masters above the third tier.”

What makes mechanical equipment powerful is not just individual combat power.

But the clustered combat power after mass production.

By then, any First-Tier card master or even an apprentice equipped with a set of armor could cause damage to high-tier card masters.

Who could resist this flood of steel?

This… is definitely a major discovery that will change the technological structure of the era!

The grand nobles must be panic-stricken.

Seeing these things, Leonard suddenly thought of Seven Brown.

The defense power of her battle armor is sufficient, but isn’t she lacking some powerful offensive means?

Moreover, this seems to be just the beginning.

Leonard has never doubted the limit of technology.

These two pieces of mechanical equipment brought out by the Miller family were explicitly stated to be archaeological discoveries.

There are still many more of such black technologies on the Old Continent.

“Heh, it would be interesting if we knew where the Miller family got these blueprints…”

Leonard Churchill, a lonely man, watched with curiosity and anticipation.

But the other traditional nobles didn’t take it too well.

Apart from shock, they felt the tearing sensation of having their knowledge subverted.

In the corner, Catherine Carter and Kak, two direct-line members of the Lionheart Family, watched with solemn faces.

Nowadays, the Lionheart Family has the greatest influence in Sinless City.

It can be likened to having a lion and a tiger in the same mountain.

In such a situation, it is impossible for the two families to cooperate.

“When the Orlan Dynasty collapsed, the Miller family managed to snatch an archive that had been sealed for a thousand years from the Royal Treasury. At that time, nobody took those sealed archives seriously. Only now that the Old Continent has been discovered do people understand the value of those archives is incalculable…”

“Yes, previously when the Miller family of Dragon City put such a huge cost into acquiring the Sinless City lordship, the other four parliament members understood why. Now it seems their strategies run deeper than what we’ve seen…”

“If these sets of mechanical equipment can be mass-produced, there would be an immediate subversion of the Federation’s military layout. These blueprints, as well as the Alternate Dimension, hold great significance for our Lionheart Family!”

“I’m afraid they have more secret archives in their hands…”

The opportunities of the Old Continent are clear for us to see.

Everyone had different thoughts.

The Miller family had intentions for revealing these artifacts.

Currently, the Federal Parliament had a big disagreement about the development of the Old Continent, and the conservative and exploration factions were still fiercely contesting each other.

After two consecutive deaths of lords, even fools could guess that the federation harbored significant distaste towards the Miller family.

They could even be behind the deaths of the lords.

Given the current situation, if the Miller family dared to hold on to selfish intentions, in addition to the loss of more lords, the Federal Parliament would probably immediately issue an order to completely seal off the Old Continent.

The presentation of these objects was also to tell everyone that groundbreaking technology is already here. If the Old Continent is sealed off, the Miller family wouldn’t care, as they are already in possession of many key technologies.

But the things are out now, and everyone can choose to cooperate.

This sharing posture can quickly attract a large number of allies and reduce hatred.

Even though the Miller family couldn’t monopolize the profits, they had laid out this plan years ago and would still reap significant benefits in the end.

Before long, the banquet ended.

Leonard Churchill left the Lord’s Manor by carriage.

The great nobles are discussing the division of interests and collaboration regarding the Old Continent. That’s not something a fallen noble can get involved in.

Having spent his first day as a noble, he had come to familiarize himself with Sinless City’s upper class.

After returning to Apartment No. 233 on Maple Street, Leonard spent an uneventful first day.

The next morning.

When the butler woke up, freshly baked bread was already laid out on the breakfast table.

At this time, butler ‘Old Weaver’ brought over a bunch of invitation letters.

“The second daughter of President Cliff, head of the White Bird Commerce, cordially invites Baron to her coming-of-age ceremony…”

“Vice President Mary of the Firefox Commerce sends an invitation, asking if the Baron is free tonight. She would like to visit for dinner…”

There were more than twenty invitation letters, more than yesterday.

It seems that showing face at the Miller family’s banquet last night made an impact.

As Leonard ate, he listened.

In his mind, he filtered through the information, looking for potential clues related to the Silver Moon Church.

At this time, a piece of information came to his ear: “Baron Ramon has sent an invitation, inviting you to a ‘Collector Exchange Meeting’ tonight at Fragrant Hill Apartment. Many mysterious guests will be there to share their family collections, and the rare and precious treasures they’ve collected in Sinless City…”

Upon hearing this, Leonard’s instinct told him: It seems a baited hook had caught something.

I only managed to get a single update out today, the writer’s block was severe and I wasn’t feeling well. The quality isn’t up to par and I had initially not wanted to post it, but not updating for too long isn’t good either. Apologies to my readers, I will try and make up for it once I have sorted out my ideas in the next few days.
