Mechanical Alchemist

St. Gotia Hotel is a very high-end hotel in the south city of Lingdon. The decoration in the room is luxurious and exquisite.

When the two of them passed by the downstairs of the hotel last night, they wanted to find a place to spend the night.

If you can choose the good ones, you can't treat yourself badly.

But after all, something happened just now, and someone checked in in the middle of the night, so it was easy to be missed by those who cared.

So the two of them didn't register at the front desk, and went directly over the wall into room 4001.

It was a sneaky overnight stay.

In the early morning, Su Lun woke up on the luxurious big bed in the room.

He looked at Sabina who was lying beside him, and secretly praised her.

Ascetic?

No!

In front of the succubus, there is no qualification for few desires.

After a whole night of tossing, Su Lun, a professional who is considered to be in the best physique among the fifth-level professionals, still feels a little tired after a night's rest. It can be imagined that his energy has been exhausted.

[B-005-Succubus] This talent is definitely the world's best charm, not to mention other abilities.

Moreover, the natural ability will increase with the promotion of rank.

Although Su Lun has learned it a long time ago, Sabina is also more proficient in those pleasure skills now. This night, Su Lun fully enjoyed the ultimate experience of his senses floating in the clouds.

There was probably a slight movement, and at this moment, Sabina who happened to be beside her also opened her eyes.

She looked at Su Lun, who was looking at her, and asked with a smile, "Master, did you rest well last night?"

Seeing the meaningful ambiguity and cunning in An's beautiful eyes, Su Lun shook his head helplessly.

Although the succubus is good, it really shortens the life.

On the contrary, Sabina tossed all night, not only did she not see the slightest bit of fatigue on her charming and pretty face, but instead became rosy and radiant.

Seeing Su Lun's overwhelmed expression, she couldn't help but sneered.

It's all due to her, she's not happy about it.

At this time, Sabina felt something, and her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't hide her excitement: "Hey, master! I feel that my understanding of the law at this moment can almost advance to the fourth level!"

Su Lun was also a little surprised when he heard it, and asked, "So fast?"

Sabina has been trapped in Tier 3 for a long time, and her foundation is solid enough, but she lacks the comprehension of the laws of Tier 4, and has been unable to condense the elemental barrier.

This threshold is a large threshold, and most low-level professionals are trapped here for life.

And Sabina's comprehension ability is not very outstanding, and most of her energy is spent on intelligence work. Therefore, there was no great opportunity for this hurdle, and it was almost impossible to sell it by one's own comprehension.

However, she also has a special gift.

Sabina's talent is the family blood inheritance [Succubus], and her family also has the method of inheriting secret cultivation.

This secret method is slightly similar to Su Lun's [Death Harvester], which is that he can directly absorb the insights of others and turn it into his own use.

Tried it before, the effect is obvious.

But Mingming still said that it was a long way off, but he didn't expect that after this night, it would be like this?

Sabina nodded, and she didn't forget to give Master a rainbow fart by the way, and said, "Yeah. The main reason is that Master is so good. Your comprehension of laws is already at the sixth level, which is three times higher than mine. A big rank, just take a little bit of it, and I will be able to gain a lot."

"oh?"

Su Lun naturally heard the flattery and joy in Sabina's tone, and was really happy for her.

Now that the situation in Lingdun is complicated, if this maid of mine can advance to the fourth level as soon as possible, her life-saving ability will also be greatly improved.

This is good news.

But... just the quantity, the effect shouldn't be so exaggerated.

Sabina obviously saw his doubts, blinked again, and explained excitedly: "Last night, I used the talent secret training of the second solution, and I didn't expect it to be so good! It's not just the fourth level. , I feel that I have some ideas for comprehension of the laws of the fifth level, or even the sixth level."

Su Lun suddenly realized.

But when he heard the second solution talent in Sabina's mouth, his eyes suddenly became a little unnatural.

Generally speaking, the talent of the second solution will greatly improve the ability of the first solution, and will awaken some very special abilities.

Sabina's [Succubus] is called [Thousand Changes Succubus] after the second solution.

Literally.

After the second solution, not only the original abilities such as mental strength, charm, and physical toughness have been greatly improved, but she has also obtained the new ability of "Kaleidoscopic".

For an intelligence professional, this is definitely a magical skill that fits Max.

As long as it is someone Sabina has met, she can perfectly imitate the imitation transformation.

Not only the appearance, but even the breath are exactly the same.

If it weren't for Su Lun's soul perception ability, it would be difficult to tell the truth from the fake.

However, his soul perception is the ability brought by the second solution [S-004-Death Harvester]. Not to mention whether there is another person in the entire plane who has awakened this extremely rare S-level talent. Even if there is, it is almost impossible to achieve the second solution.

So under normal circumstances, Sabina's ability to change is extremely difficult to expose.

This ability is also the most important reason why she gained a firm foothold in Lingdon in a short period of time and safely collected information.

This ability is very good for collecting intelligence in disguise on a daily basis.

But last night, Sabina demonstrated the wonderful use of this ability for pleasure.

It turned out that while she was more happy, she also gained more insights?

Tsk tsk, amazing talent.

Su Lun thought of some beautiful pictures from last night.

Sabina keenly caught some of his changes, and said winkingly: "Master, do you want me to help you get up?"

After waking up, Su Lun didn't intend to get bored in bed.

He listened to this eclectic proposal, but he still rejected it decisively.

Although the succubus is good, you can't be greedy.

What's more, they sneaked into the hotel room secretly. Although no one disturbed them in the second half of the night, the hotel would continue to welcome guests after dawn. Although people who are coming can perceive it in advance, they are also easy to be caught off guard and disturb their interest.

Su Lun lifted the quilt, stood up resolutely and left Ruanrouxiang, saying only one sentence: "There is still business today."

"oh."

Sabina responded obediently, and said again: "Then I will serve Master to dress you."

This service was finally serious.

Although Sabina became more and more "presumptuous", she never forgot her identity.

She got up and got busy.

In Luying, it is standard for the nobles to have maids serving their daily needs. When you wake up without three or five young girls in maid uniforms washing your face and brushing your teeth, others will suspect that you are bankrupt.

Su Lun doesn't have the hedonistic hobbies of a nobleman, and wanted to do it himself, but Sabina refused.

From washing to dressing, he didn't do much by himself, and Sabina was like a qualified maid who would always take care of everything.

Not long after, the window was lit up.

The roar of steam locomotives came from the neighborhood, and the city of Lyndon was gradually waking up.

Just as Sabina helped Su Lun get dressed, at this moment, one of her encrypted communicators rang.

She walked over, picked up the handbag beside the bed, looked at the news, and turned to report to Su Lunhui: "Sir, there is a message from "Yingjue", saying that the matter of last night has been resolved Yes, the person who leaked information at the ball was found out, and the matter was clarified. So give us an explanation. "

"."

Su Lun didn't speak, but thought appeared in his eyes.

This was what was expected last night, the organizer would intervene to solve the problem if the member violated the rules of the dance party.

I didn't expect to solve it in just one night, that person's energy is indeed not small.

Su Lun didn't want to show his face again, but he still missed the batch of imported equipment.

Thinking that there is really no problem with the dance party at present, and after considering various possible risks, he said: "Okay. Contact them to see what they want to explain."

After getting permission, Sabina used the communicator to go back to the past.

Soon, she got a reply, saying: "They have captured everyone, except for the interrogation of the dead, they are still alive and sent over, wanting to show us. Then they brought the "Shadow Lord" "Some apologies for compensation. "

"Did someone bring it over?"

Su Lun's eyes rolled, and some countermeasures immediately appeared in his mind, and he said, "Then make an appointment to meet in an open place."

That's just as well.

As long as a person is still alive, he can search for souls.

The truth of the matter cannot be concealed by a few words of nonsense.

Sabina nodded, and asked again: "Then it's in the Library of Congress Square? There aren't too many people there in the morning, and it's very empty. And Mr. Hei is there, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

Sabina knew the situation in Lington better than herself, and Su Lun also felt that the arrangement was no problem, and said, "Okay, let's make an appointment there."

Su Lun and Sabina dressed quickly, left a cleaning fee of one thousand lisos in the room, and hung a cleaning sign at the door.

When the guest room aunt sees the money, she will happily put it in her pocket, and then clean it quietly. Instead of going around gossiping and complaining that two thieves came and stayed all night last night and messed up the room.

The two jumped from the balcony on the fourth floor.

In the alley with no one on the street corner, Su Lun took out a steam motorcycle, started it, and drove Sabina galloping all the way through the streets and alleys of the city.

Twenty minutes later, they had reached the block next to the Library of Congress Plaza in the Franklin District.

The motorcycle was collected in advance, and then walked all the way, and no abnormalities were found.

There are no high-level professionals ambushing, no large groups of professionals hiding, everything is normal.

The sky was gray, and the morning sun occasionally poured on the square through the clouds.

The fountain was buzzing, and several early pigeons were already looking for food in the square.

When Su Lun came, he happened to be watching a homeless boy wearing a tattered peaked cap, using a few bread crumbs to attract a plump pigeon, and then grabbed it and stuffed it into his clothes and fled quickly.

It's only eight o'clock, and the square administrators haven't gone to work yet. It's also the best time for homeless people to catch pigeons to improve their food.

Holding a black umbrella as a crutch in his hand, Su Lun walked over with Sabina.

It's not a rest day, and there are not many people in the square, so you can see it clearly at a glance.

A refrigerated truck with the words "Nancheng Meat Joint Factory" was parked on the side of the square.

There are two people in the cab, both of whom are Tier 3 professionals.

There are six more in the compartment.

But to Su Lun, there was no threat at all.

Sabina took a look and confirmed, "That's the car from the Red Oak Club."

Su Lun nodded, and the two walked over.

Sabina used the disguise of "Countess Demakula" to attend the ball, and there was no need to hide it, and the two walked over directly.

The people in the car seemed to recognize Sabina, opened the door and got out.

These are two burly men in suits and windbreakers. The leader with a scar on his face looked at Sabina and said respectfully, "My lord, I brought you here."

With that said, he beckoned the other to open the truck compartment.

Sabina glanced at it, showing the indifference that a high-ranking nobleman should have, and asked, "What's going on?"

The man with the scar said: "It was Myra Truman from the 'Red Parrot Trading Company' who leaked your information at the ball. There were four people participating in the ball, one was the driver, and one was the singing girl. But sorry, The woman failed during the interrogation and is dead. In the car were Truman and his two referees, and several other people involved."

Su Lun was somewhat impressed with the "Red Parrot Trading Company", which was a family company owned by a large plantation owner in the south of Luying. It mainly trades bulk agricultural and animal husbandry products such as crystal cocoa, cotton, and timber. It can be regarded as a century-old wealthy family in the south. Even if Truman is in the capital of Lingdun, he can be regarded as a first-class rich man.

Sabina remained expressionless as she listened, and asked the man with the scar: "Would you mind asking me about the situation yourself?"

The man with the scar said respectfully: "Of course. Lord "Shadow Lord" sent us to bring him here to give you an explanation. You can do whatever you want. "

Sabina glanced at it, and the "bodyguard" Su Lun naturally understood immediately.

He got into the car directly, and then closed the compartment door with a bang.

There were six people with scars all over their bodies, and they were still hanging for a while, but it looked like they were tortured last night.

Su Lun identified the soul of one of them, and it was indeed the member she met at the ball last night.

Seeing someone coming up, the two faces who were still awake immediately showed despair and pleading expressions.

But Su Lun had no time to waste time with these people.

He took out a sharp dagger and wiped the throats of the six people neatly.

Six clusters of "gray fog" appeared on the corpse. Su Lun digested it after harvesting it, and immediately understood the conspiracy of last night.

The two introducers didn't know anything, they were simply implicated.

Only that Truman was the mastermind.

As Su Lun expected, someone used the imported machinery to fish again.

Not only in the Full Moon Ball, but also in many black market channels.

As long as Su Lun pays attention to mechanical news in Lingdon City, he will almost always come into contact with various versions of "bait".

Once you are interested, you will definitely be hooked.

It's just because Su Lun has only been in Lington for two days, and he went to the dance before he had time to hang out.

But here comes the problem, this Truman is just a pawn.

He just leaked the news according to the predetermined plan, so he doesn't need to participate in the future, and he doesn't know much information.

Moreover, Su Lun discovered the conspiracy to kill the driver last night, and the people behind the scenes were very decisive when they knew that the matter had been revealed, so they immediately cut off the line.

All "uplines" that Truman could contact were silenced.

Therefore, in the end, it is not known who is behind the scenes.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't know.

Anyway, Su Lun can guess that there are only a few companies that can make a rich man an informant.

Compared with how things happened, Su Lun was less interested.

Instead, he is more concerned about the sequelae.

Since he was phished last night, the information might be leaked.

The good news is that after carefully searching Truman's memory, Su Lun found that these people did not know Sabina's identity at the ball.

Just follow a specific program to fish.

Once the fish is hooked, proceed to the next step, and the ambush is another person.

Even the dead driver didn't know that it was the "Countess Demakula" on board.

If it's not exposed, it's not a big problem.

Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Lun got the information he wanted, and deliberately delayed for a while before getting out of the carriage.

It makes people feel that they didn't kill people as soon as they went up, but really "interrogated" for a while.

However, the two men in suits didn't care what he was doing up there.

The intelligence of these people has been tricked out, and it is of no value anymore.

The guests killed as they wished.

Seeing Su Lun get out of the car, Sabina also immediately understood the meaning behind his indifferent expression.

Now that there are no sequelae, it is time to pay compensation.

The man with the scar obviously understood, and without waiting for her to read, he said directly: "Master "Shadow Lord", I have brought my most sincere apology to Madam. The adults also said that the follow-up troubles have been dealt with, and it will never disturb your life, Madam, and also guarantee that such things will never happen again in future dance parties, please rest assured. "

As he spoke, he took out a box, opened it, and saw that it was a gold coin with the pattern of an old pipe on it.

Sabina obviously knew what it was, and an imperceptible strangeness flashed in her eyes.

The man with the scar handed over the gold coin box, and said, "My lord said that the transaction last night will be carried out according to the contract, and that batch of goods will be shipped normally according to your needs. There is no need to pay for the follow-up payment, and the right is our Red Oak What’s more, my lord asked me to bring this token as a gift for my accidental apology last night, please be sure to accept it, Madam.”

Su Lun appraised it and found nothing special, so she naturally helped Sabina accept it.

The two gangsters were also very straightforward in their work. After informing them of their intentions, they agreed on some matters to be delivered by sea two days later. They didn't stay any longer and drove away directly.

After waiting for the truck to disappear on the street corner, Su Lun asked curiously, "Is there anything special about this pipe gold coin?"

Thoughts flashed across Sabina's eyes, and she said in a deep voice: "This is a token. Let that "Shadow Lord" personally solve a problem. "

After a pause, she was afraid that Su Lun would not understand the meaning of the gold coin, so she explained: "I have never seen this gold coin before, but I heard that someone got it at the ball, it seems to have solved a big problem. Although I don’t know exactly what was solved. But there is a legend in the ball that using this gold coin can solve all the troubles in Lingdon! For example, if you want to sleep with a certain royal princess, sir, you can use it.”

"That's it"

When Su Lun heard this, he realized that the rumors in the world had come from this way.

Moreover, since Sabina said it, in other words, there is a high probability that it can be done?

He looked at the pipe gold coin again, and immediately felt that this adventure was worthwhile.

It is obviously an exaggeration to say that it can solve all troubles, but it is indeed of inestimable value.

From attending the ball yesterday to dealing with those leakers today, he acted vigorously and decisively. Su Lun can also see that this "Shadow Lord" is more mysterious and powerful than the rumors in the world.

At least that batch of imported equipment is worth billions of lisos, and you can give it away as soon as you say it. The general gangsters don't have the courage.

And after this incident, Su Lun also found out that the dance party was indeed not the same as the fisherman.

At least for now, there is no hostility towards them.

What happened last night, outsiders may not know what happened, but the "Shadow Lord" who interrogated those people must have guessed why Su Lun needed these devices.

If the information is well-informed, that person has even guessed that Sabina's disguised "Countess Demakula"'s purchase of equipment this time may be directly related to "Dawn".

But today, no one was sent to ambush him, instead he apologized, probably because he was really not interested in the mechanical technology and neuromechanical technology in Su Lun's hands.

It is also possible that this is a show of favor, fear, or other reasons.

But with this attitude, he is definitely not an ordinary gangster.

That "Shadow Lord" or the power he represents must be standing very high.

So tall that he must be one of the few people who look at the scenery from the top of the Luying Pyramid.

This made Su Lun even more curious about his identity.

He even speculated that behind this "Shadow Lord" might be the Lance family behind Yekaterina.

After all, my cheap fiancée is also one of the few people in the Lu Ying Empire who meets this requirement.

However, according to the current intelligence, it seems that the conditions are not fully met.

This makes people very puzzled.

Su Lun and Sabina didn't stay in the square, and they left without disturbing Mr. Hei.

Getting good news and a good reward early in the morning, both of them were in a good mood.

Not long after, the news that the "Bakchi Bio-Pharmaceutical Company" was producing medicines received last night also gave feedback.

That new drug is called [Scarlet Potion], and its purpose is to treat the Red Death that is gradually spreading from the bottom of Lingdun. The original plan was to release the new drug a few days later.

The problem now is that the medicine can't detect any problems at all.

Moreover, the major shareholder behind this pharmaceutical company is the Rodriguez family, one of the six congressmen, and ordinary people are not qualified to stop it.

Therefore, normal means cannot prevent Bakchi Company from selling new drugs at all.

Once sold on a large scale, the number of people contaminated by parasites will increase dramatically.

But there is no need for Su Lun to worry about this.

He has passed the news to Ekaterina.

There is no basis for others to say, but she will definitely believe in herself.

Although he didn't know what his fiancée was going to do, Su Lun knew that since the Lance family chose to marry the ambitious Regadi family, they must have a lot of schemes.

If the imperial power is really controlled by believers, it is definitely not what the Lance family wants to see.

Su Lun didn't bother with the issue of [Scarlet Potion] anymore, mainly because he wanted to, and he couldn't get involved in matters at that level.

But his intuition told him that things seemed weird.

Obviously there is a big pharmaceutical company that sells medicines, if it wasn't for Su Lun's tone of voice to see through it in advance, large-scale pollution has become an inevitable fact.

But why did they "do nothing" to arrange for the gangsters to distribute the medicine in advance?

Or is it that the important person manages it himself?

He thought of the "curator" he taught before, that guy must be extremely powerful to control the [Ghost Bride]. Even among the believers of the Outer Gods, they are probably at the top of the cardinal level.

Intuition made Su Lun feel that there might be some tricks behind this incident that he didn't realize.

But the next full moon dance is half a month away.

He asked Sabina to inform the intelligence personnel of the Mirror Organization to investigate the origin of the "curator", and also to investigate what was abnormal in the area previously occupied by the Vaughan Brotherhood.

Everything has been explained, and the rest of the investigation will take time.

Su Lun and Sabina drove to Luying Royal Academy.

I still have work to do today.

He was going to look at the situation of the [Isaac Alchemy Manuscript] stored in the Royal Academy, and by the way, his big disciple Jike who was put away as soon as he received it.
