Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 111: Chapter 70 Doctor’s Spoils of War z

But as for myths and tales, Leonard Churchill only listens for fun.

From a scientific perspective, the advantages of cards are clear: instant activation, powerful, and they can be grouped into decks!

Card masters must master the spell to create skill cards.

But they rarely cast spells directly, primarily because the power would be quite weak and it requires time to manifest the magic.

Sealing the technique into a card in advance, though it consumes significant material costs, allows card masters to instantly cast various magic.

And it’s even more powerful.

It’s as comparable to packing gunpowder into bullets, which produces magnificent results when detonated.

Another point is the combination of cards.

For example, the combination of the [Fireball Skill] and [Oil Spray Skill] – two first-tier cards — can form compound magic, igniting a broad area.

With conventional casting, it would be impossible for one person to simultaneously cast two spells.

But with cards, it can be easily achieved.

Even triple cards, quadruple cards… compound techniques.

With a high proficiency in card manipulation, as long as the curse power consumption isn’t too excessive, Curse Card Masters can cast compound techniques of a much higher power than their own tier.

Other advantages include easy portability, long casting distance, stealthiness, and so on.

There are many benefits.

That’s why the world is highly resentful of Old Days Believers.

If extraordinary power can be controlled by oneself, why would one need to pray to a God?

Why kneel when you can stand?

Both of the doctor’s storage rings are crammed with things.

Various bottles and jars, some labeled, others not.

Churchill doesn’t randomly open them.

Besides being interested in that scalpel, he’s also very curious about something

That is the self-healing secret skill used by that fellow.

One of the storage rings contains various materials, poisons, and antidotes.

The other is filled with various surgical tools, along with numerous medical books and scrolls.

Churchill glanced through them; most of them were related to plague and alchemy.

Books like the “Extraction of Infectious Agents from Bodies of the Bubonic Plague,” “Detailed Human Anatomy,” and “Essential Medical Knowledge for Plague Doctors.”

This aligns with the professional characteristics of the Plague Doctor.

The books are dusted and old, reflecting that the doctor had conducted deep research in this field.

Churchill is also interested in these books.

However, he’s not in a hurry; he can read them slowly when he has time.

After searching, he found a small iron box in a corner.

Upon opening it, it was indeed what he had been looking for.

It was a handwritten research journal, named “Cellular Activity Boiling.”

“Is this handwritten?”

Churchill was also surprised.

Comparing it with the notes, he realized it was a practice journal that the doctor had figured out himself?

And it recorded in detail the lessons and experiences he learned while practicing this secret skill.

“Hiss… It’s actually a fragment of an ancient demonic forbidden technique.” After briefly going through it, Leonard understood the origin of the notebook. There’s a section of content in the notebook:

“Old Cook always has some odd things. Recently, he traveled to the Old Continent and raided an ancient tomb, reaping many treasures. I swapped with him a broken copper piece, which was said to be related to Plague Doctors…” “My devotion was responded to, the great Thousand Faces of the Moon granted me the ability to understand the ancient demon’s language. However, the content recorded on the copper piece is too obscure, my current realm cannot fully understand it. So, I wrote down and summarized this part of the knowledge into this secret skill…”

Researchers like to take notes, which also facilitates Leonard.

After he finished reading the beginning of the notes, he understood what this secret skill was about.

Looking again, besides the notebook, there was indeed a broken copper piece at the bottom of the iron box. It was obviously an ancient artifact.

The copper piece was densely engraved with some incomprehensible curse symbols.

When Leonard’s gaze swept over it, it seemed that each symbol contained a mass of information. Looking at it for a while made his head spin.

Strangely enough, even with his photographic memory, after looking at it once and trying to recall, he couldn’t remember anything.

Churchill looked surprised too: “Something beyond comprehension?”

After reading the notes, he already knew that the symbols on the copper piece were the legendary ancient demon’s language.

The doctor had only comprehended part of it through divine intervention.

Its Enlightenment Display was also quite simple.

[Mysterious Copper Piece]

Explanation: A fragment of some ancient demonic forbidden technique;

Looking at the copper piece again, besides getting a headache, Churchill couldn’t remember a bit of the text on the piece.

He didn’t dwell on it any longer.

Anyway, with the item in his hand, there would be opportunities to study it in the future.

He turned his attention to the doctor’s notes.

After roughly reading through them, he summarized some content: “To learn this secret skill, you need to have a medical knowledge level of Lv5, Wood Element Affinity at 45; after practicing, you can obtain the passive skill ‘Robust Growth’, possessing super cell activity and physical tissue regeneration ability; active casting requires the consumption of a large amount of curse power and ’ life essence, it can heal flesh wounds caused and the recipient is immune to some negative energy corrosion…”

This turned out to be the secret skill that had made that fellow almost immortal.

But the learning threshold wasn’t low.

Having Wood Element Affinity wasn’t a big problem, he was at 21 now, absorbing more bodies would gradually increase it.

However, a “Medical Knowledge of Lv5” was a bit challenging.

For a layman who didn’t have any medical knowledge, it would take many years of study.

But Leonard was optimistic.

It made sense for high-end secret skills to have a higher learning threshold.

Moreover, he originally wanted to learn medical knowledge, such as surgical emergency treatment and so on.

He can’t always rely on recklessly gulping down potions every time he gets injured.

With his extremely high comprehension and photographic memory, he learned quickly. He believed it wouldn’t take long to meet the threshold requirement as long as the conditions allowed.

The notes described [Cellular Activity Boiling] as a forbidden technique that uses curse power to activate the body’s potential.

It was called a “forbidden technique” because it consumed life essence.

In simple terms, it consumed lifespan.

However, this skill was originally meant to save lives in emergencies.

The choice between losing lifespan and losing life wasn’t very difficult..
