The photos were full of ancient books, scrolls, and stone carvings, all with words on them.

There were also some drawings involved.

Leonard took one glance and could see that these were ancient documents relating to machinery.

The steam machinery in this world was not a product of modern scientific research, but an archaeological product. Just like the architectural level of the “Demon Cross” ruins, which had remained intact for thousands of years and even now were hard to replicate.

The woman in leather seemed very interested in the content of the photos, looking at them intensely, but she was also frowning, evidently not understanding: “Old Man, have you found anyone who can translate these mechanical drawings?”

The shop owner replied: “No. The few scholar-level curse card masters I know only understand some rudiments of the Taren language. They can’t translate a lot of the professional jargon on the mechanical drawings either. If you want a scholar who is proficient in ancient Taren, you could probably only find one in Dragon City.”

The woman in leather seemed a bit helpless as she listened; simply having the drawings wasn’t enough.

Only then did Leonard give the photo a second look.

It was full of strange symbols, which were in ancient Taren.

The language of a legendary civilization lost for thousands of years.

Only when the Old Continent on the other side of the world rift was discovered did people confirm that the legendary mysterious civilization had actually existed.

Leonard had seen this language before.

The first time was in the Alternate Dimension 407.

The Demon Cross was actually the ruins of a Taren Dynasty city.

The difficulty of the Duplicate 407 prevented Card Master Apprentices from entering. The only reason he had been able to read it was because of the Enlightenment provided by the rules of the space itself.

Thinking of this, a thought flashed in Leonard’s mind: “Yikes… if I obtained that material, wouldn’t I be able to master some ancient characters…”

The material he found in the safety deposit box had been thick in volume.

Not talking about the content, just the value of the words, was definitely not equivalent to the fragments of broken documents on these photos.

Moreover, the death crisis at that time had deepened his memory, he could remember a lot of the content now.

With an accurate reference for the meanings, it would make deciphering it much easier.

Unfortunately, the material is with Camilla.

He didn’t know whether she had taken it out of the space or not.

The thought flashed by and Leonard collected his thoughts.

The girl in the leather jacket continued to look at the photos, occasionally picking some up and asking the shop owner to prepare the originals for her to take.

Leonard didn’t have such VIP treatment. He had quickly looked over everything he was allowed to see.

He didn’t plan to spend much time in this shop. There were many other shops he wanted to visit. Finally, as an afterthought, he casually asked, “Shopkeeper, do you have any Breathing Methods that can absorb multiple Elements at the same time?”

Faced with a different person, the shopkeeper returned to his indifferent demeanor, coldly replying, “No.”

After a pause, he added with a sneer, “You sure are peculiar. Curse power is meant to be as pure as possible, only then can you cast card spells in a safer and more efficient manner, and the chances of losing control during advancement will be smaller. Yet, you want more types?”

Leonard wasn’t surprised by this response.

He had already looked over them all carefully, all Breathing Methods were for some single element.

He was just asking on the off-chance.

He thought it was probably just like the shopkeeper said; absorbing curse power condensed from single elements was the right way? Or was it that the shop only catered to ordinary people and did not involve those rare Breathing Methods?

But thinking about it in any case, if he couldn’t find a suitable Breathing Method, his talent of complete elemental tolerance would be wasted.

What a pity.

Not getting the result he wanted, Leonard turned to leave the store.

Unexpectedly, the woman in the leather jacket suddenly spoke up, her voice indifferent: “You need a multi-elemental Breathing Method?”
