Did it actually trigger?
Seven Brown looked at the suddenly manifested enlightenment, taken aback for a moment.
She turned to look at the prophetic Leonard Churchill next to her, incredulously asking, “How…how did you know it would trigger an A-Level Plot?”
The reasons were complex, and Leonard didn’t want to explain them to most people.
But to Miss Rita, he said straightforwardly, “When we first entered, I observed the ‘Iron Hand’ hunter team’s configuration. Four were Second Tier and the rest were elite members so they were at least aiming for B-level difficulty.” Seven Brown listened, blinked her eyes, “Just that?”
She carefully recalled and found it to be true.
But this little amount of information wouldn’t be enough to ascertain things with the precision of a “prophet”.
“There’s more.”
Leonard Churchill added, “I talked to the information merchant about the space’s output of several Mechanical Drawings and found that most of them were various ‘Energy Furnace’ and ‘Energy Core’ drawings. Moreover, after entering, I found some experiment records in the scattered information on the ground… and then there’s the Undying Feature of the monsters. I suspect that the core project this research institute was studying is some sort of special mechanical energy core. You’re a mechanic, so you should understand what this kind of technological blueprint means to a noble army. So, the Lionheart Family must attempt a high-difficulty plot to get the highest-level blueprint. But high-level blueprints need high-difficulty plot output. So, there’s the motive, they must challenge the A-rank difficulty.”
With that, he shrugged, “Of course, much of it is just intuition.”
It was all speculation.
Only well-supported speculation had a better chance of being correct.
“So that’s why…”
Upon hearing this, Seven Brown seemed to realize.
No wonder this guy had been picking up information that no one cared about before. It turns out it was useful.
Thinking about this, she looked at Leonard Churchill and suddenly understood why he had been hesitant to bring her in before.
The gap did seem rather significant.
All the information bought from the information merchant, Seven Brown herself had pretty much seen it all.
But she never thought of anything and simply viewed it as regular strategies.
Yet, Leonard Churchill was able to deduce so much useful information from minor clues.
This guy is incredible.
Seven Brown couldn’t help but be amazed.
But then she added, “But… the death rate for B-level difficulty is already 70%, so how can those guys be sure they can survive A-level difficulty?”
“They can’t guarantee.”
Leonard, with a smile, shook his head, “They are hunter teams maintained by the nobles. They are well-paid and have high death compensation. So, this pioneering mission is an obligation they must fulfill.”
He paused, then continued, “But not everyone will die. We are only on the first level and they have already reached the third level. Their exploration speed is abnormally fast. Judging by the information they distributed to us before, even if two squads teamed up, they wouldn’t be able to achieve this pace. So, there’s only one explanation, they have some intelligence unknown to others.”
Seven Brown was still somewhat confused, “Huh?”
Leonard Churchill explained, “I mentioned to you before, the Lionheart Family has a set of top-secret information about the Old Continent. Most likely, the group Kelson was with had some of it. If I’m not wrong, their daring to trigger A-Level Plot must be because they have special clues to win, or they have safety measures such as ‘Safe Houses’. I lean towards the latter. After all, as the task stands now, if you can survive five days in the institute, you can get out. Although the evaluation for clearing the plot may be low, the information can be brought out… it’ll be good if a stronger person comes to solve it next time.” This is the significance of large teams.
They can have enough people to trial and error, bit by bit, to crack some high- difficulty spaces.
“Oh.”
After hearing this, Seven Brown finally understood where Leonard Churchill’s judgement came from.
But all of this information, she already knew herself.
The relationship between the two was not awkward. Miss Rita muttered, “Ah… why didn’t I think of that?”
“You’ll know after experiencing it a few times.”
Leonard Churchill lightly patted her head laughing, “Put on that armor. Things will get a bit tricky.”
“Okay.”
Seven Brown nodded, then took off her Mechanical Exoskeleton and put on the fully enclosed Gungnir Gold Armor.
Seeing her, the hidden sharpness in Leonard Churchill’s eyes gradually became piercing.
With that armor, Seven Brown’s life was not in danger.
In that case, he could let loose.
Seven Brown seemed to notice the change in Leonard Churchill’s expression, and asked, “You don’t seem worried at all?”
Even though she hadn’t experienced it, she had heard of the fearsome A-rank difficulty plot that hunters spoke of.
Usually, the death rate for such difficulty level was extremely high.
No one could guarantee they would surely survive.
Moreover, for this 1981 Research Institute, if the powerful Lionheart Family hadn’t cleared it yet, you could imagine the difficulty level.
Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill’s lips formed a smirk, nonchalantly saying, “It’s because of the A-level difficulty that people get excited.”
He had already picked up on the scent of an approaching crisis.
The feeling that made his scalp tingle slightly was gradually coming over him again.
Upon hearing this, Seven Brown frowned.
She immediately recollected what she had asked before.
Did Leonard Churchill’s chase of death and adventure result from Mental Deformation?
