Chapter 239: Arachne’s Interrogation
Seeing Weiss looking both embarrassed and dejected, Rena, who understood what was going on, somehow felt just the slightest bit guilty.
Noticing the awkward atmosphere, Leon tried to help Weiss change the subject: “By the way, Weiss, I heard the Church has a classified explosive formula. Do you know about it?”
“Huh?” Weiss had not yet recovered from that inexplicable blow. Hearing Leon say this, she showed a surprised expression, “A classified explosive, you mean Red Mercury? Where did you hear about something like that?”
“Red Mercury?” Leon froze slightly when he heard the term. That name certainly did not sound like an ordinary explosive, but he still answered Weiss truthfully, “From a craftsman who previously designed artillery for the Church.”
“How could a craftsman possibly know……” Weiss froze for a moment before finally realizing, “Ah, could it be that what you mean is merely the primer used in artillery?”
“Yes.” Leon replied.
Hearing this, Weiss relaxed slightly: “I do know a classified formula at that level, and I can prepare it as well. What do you want to use it for?”
“To develop firearms. If you can produce it, I hope you can give me the formula, then prepare some for my people to research.” Leon said.
He intended to memorize the primer formula Weiss provided. After all, this also belonged to technology in which the Church was ahead of this era, so it was worth recording.
