Mechanical Alchemist

After a few days.

Today is the 865th anniversary of the founding of Luying Royal Academy, and it is also the day to commemorate the victory of an ancient war. The academy prepared a grand celebration, and invited many high-ranking people from Ringdon to attend.

In the evening, Su Lun changed into a costume and waited for Sabina to pick him up on the side of the street to go to the Royal Academy together.

I'm not interested in any celebration party, but Kit plans to go to the Royal Library today to steal the [Isaac's Alchemy Manuscript]. Su Lun had to be there in person to respond. Also just in case there is any special situation, I can help you deal with it.

Ten past six, exactly as agreed upon. A white gothic steam locomotive decorated with silver ram horns appeared from the corner, drove over and parked on the side of the street.

The female driver wearing a white coverall got out of the car and opened the door respectfully, and Su Lun got in.

As soon as the car door was closed, a scorching hot body stuck to it, and there was that soft and coquettish voice: "Master, I haven't seen you for many days, do you miss your dearest maid?"

Su Lun smiled, and put his arms around the soft waist naturally.

Sabina is wearing a sexy black low-cut dress today, elegant and full of mature charm. Taking a closer look, there was a different light in her expression than before.

Su Lun asked: "The reproductive equipment has also been successfully integrated?"

I haven't seen it for so many days, so it's natural that after advancing to the fourth level, I merged the breeding equipment by the way.

Sabina had a flair that she never showed in front of outsiders, "That's right, thanks to your 'Void Potion', master, the advancement and fusion went very smoothly. I'm even stronger now~"

As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around Su Lun's neck with winking eyes. This posture seemed inconvenient and more intimate, so she lifted her skirt again, exposing her slender legs to the air.

Even though the carriage was very big, she kept sticking together.

Su Lun raised his eyebrows, "Better?"

Sabina smiled and said, "That's right, master, do you want to try it?"

"Tsk tsk."

Su Lun didn't feel bad either.

The charm of succubus is deep down, it is the ultimate enjoyment that can make people addicted.

He didn't keep his hands idle, and asked, "Is there any special information these days?"

Shabiena responded enthusiastically, saying: "After Raphael became the sixth member of parliament, he has been very active recently. The biggest thing is to amend the Imperial Armaments Act. He used absolutely crushing technological strength to change the Lu Ying military's The arms supply list has now become the number one arms dealer in Luying. For this reason, some veteran arms families have great resentment and secretly obstructed it. However, after three members of Congress were assassinated recently, there were also voices of opposition on the surface. Disappeared."

Su Lun chuckled lightly: "Hehe, the Royal Family of Lu Ying allows such a method?"

Sabina said: "This is also a strange place. The royal family has no intention of intervening at all. And behind Raphael, there are several big councilors secretly supporting him, and they are very confident. Preliminary information shows that it is the Lance family and the Roberts family. .”

Su Lun was not too surprised.

Grand Duke Rafael has grown up for decades, holding a huge army of super mechanical warriors and super battleships.

Rich, skilled, and well connected.

The level of military industry has far crushed any veteran arms group in Luying, and it does have the strength to challenge the veteran nobles of the empire.

But the Lance family?

For some reason, Su Lun suddenly thought of Ekaterina.

The Lance family has been operating in Luying North for so many years, and their strength is very strong. Just looking at the layout of the four countries in Beizhou, we know that their plans are very big, and they will definitely not simply build bridges for others.

And when Su Lun was killed before, William's opponent was on Raphael's super battleship. In other words, the Regadi family and the Rafael family have long cooperated secretly.

Now the Lance family is going to marry Rhaegarde again

The relationship is getting more subtle.

Su Lun also guessed that his identity as "Fike" would be a springboard for Ekaterina to use. But this marriage is an exchange of interests, and there is nothing to say.

He asked again: "What about other information, what about the Red Death situation?"

Sabina said: "The situation is very bad. The Red Death suddenly broke out on a large scale, and now several large factories south of the Rocco Valen River have reported cases. But the official has not made a statement for a long time, and it seems that they are deliberately suppressing This news was not accurately reported in the newspapers. However, according to the data obtained from various channels, the number of infected people may already be quite a lot."

Su Lun's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this.

Sabina continued: "On the other hand, the [Scarlet Potion] produced by the 'Bakchi Bio-Pharmaceutical Company' has passed the health inspection and is being vigorously produced. The few families who opposed it before, except for the Lance family and Lafayette The Er family is still resolutely resisting, and several other congressmen have compromised. According to the information I got, it was the senior executives of the pharmaceutical company who bought and divided the other families with shares."

Hearing this, Su Lun also felt that the seriousness of the matter made people helpless.

After all, there is no reasonable reason to stop production if there are no quality problems in the pharmaceutical inspection.

But now they use interests to divide the internal affairs, and four of the six congressmen are in favor. Now it is even more impossible to ban [Scarlet Potion] from the policy level.

Sabina said: "Because of the dispersal of equity, the interest groups of the pharmacy have expanded a lot. This has directly led to the perfunctory attitude of those in the upper echelons of Congress towards the Red Death, and even meant to let the disease spread. I also got I made a top-secret record of their high-level meeting, saying that because there is no specific medicine on the market, those pharmacy merchants are not in a hurry to let [Scarlet Potion] go on the market, but have united and hoarded it in their hands, preparing to increase the number of infected people before releasing it. Pharmacy monopolizes profiteering."

When Su Lun heard this, his eyes suddenly became serious.

Those nobles may not all be followers of that Outer God. It was only because of greed that they thought about allowing the Red Death to spread and making huge profits.

Although the death rate of the Red Death is high, the process is very long, and the patient may suffer for several months before dying in pain.

If it is not controlled, a few months is enough for this disease to infect Lington in all directions.

No, it even threatened the entire Luying Empire.

The endgame on the previous cruise ship is still vivid in his mind, it is hard for Su Lun to imagine how terrifying that evil god will be then?

But knowing that this is a conspiracy of foreign gods, but still unable to stop it, this makes people feel that personal strength is really pale.

Lu Ying's aristocratic system is really rotten to the bone.

In the eyes of the nobles, the life of the common people at the bottom is probably no different from that of slaves and livestock, and no one cares about their life or death.

This also facilitated the conspiracy of the Outer God.

Su Lun couldn't think of a better solution, so he asked, "What about tonight?"

Sabina was obviously prepared, and said: "I just got the list of participants before I came. The Royal Academy has invited some alumni who graduated from the academy. There are quite a lot of high-society figures in Lingdon. Your fiancée Yekaterina Miss will be there. Oh, and Mr. William of the Regardy family will also be here."

"oh?"

Su Lun listened with an expression of interest.

The steam car drove into the gate of the Royal Academy, and Jike had been waiting for a long time.

After making the bomb, he spent the past few days transcribing various alchemy classics in the academy's library.

Explosives are only a very small branch of pharmacy. Among the tens of thousands of students in the academy, there will not be more than one person who studies "ammunition science".

But there are benefits to having fewer people.

A subject that no one pays attention to, materials are cheap, and knowledge is also very cheap.

Knowledge books such as some advanced alchemy formulas, ancient scrolls, and orphan books require a lot of credits to exchange for other majors, but about gunpowder, you can browse them at will in the library.

This is also convenient for Jake.

Regardless of whether you can understand it or not, you will directly transcribe it first.

As soon as he got out of the car, Jike, who was waiting by the car door, saluted Su Lun respectfully, with an extremely respectful expression: "Teacher!"

He saw Sabina getting out of the car together again, and saluted in the same way: "Hi Ma'am."

Although he was not a "teacher's wife", he didn't know that this beautiful lady had an extraordinary relationship with the teacher.

Sabina smiled slightly and praised: "Our little Jike is very handsome today."

Jike was a little shy, "Thank you for your compliment."

He is wearing a punk dress today.

The fabric is not high-end, and the style is not too special.

The handsomeness is not in the clothes, but the confidence in his eyes that is completely different from before.

And this confidence comes from Su Lun in front of him.

In the past few days, Jike also deliberately went to the newspaper a month ago to read it. Only after reading it did he realize how terrifying his teacher's combat power is!

In that battle, the city-state of Moros shocked the world by defeating 200,000 pirates and beheading tens of thousands. This was the headline in every edition of the newspapers in Lington, and even related reports lasted for half a month.

However, the reports in the newspapers are only part of it!

A few days ago, Jake made explosives and stayed in the small void. He saw Su Lun's large-scale war workshop with his own eyes, and only then did he know that his teacher was not only powerful, but also had a profound background.

Mass production of mechanical armor that can only be manufactured by the Marfa Empire, as well as those mechanical octopuses and rune puppet assembly lines.

Every look is inspiring.

This is something no one in the Luying Empire can do, not even the royal family.

As a disciple, Jike realized just how powerful his teacher was!

No wonder Mrs. Demakula said that as a teacher's disciple, his status would definitely be no worse than that of any nobleman.

This is the source of Jike's confidence: I have a strong teacher!

Su Lun looked at his disciple, and probably guessed why he saw the gleam in his eyes, and smiled slightly: "How does the new mechanical prosthesis feel?"

What Jake needs is not a combat prosthesis, so he doesn't need to mess with Barrett's pure silver hand. On the contrary, a robotic arm with complex functions can better meet the daily research needs.

So after Su Lun used materials to make up for the defects of his fingers, he designed an external mechanical arm with his superb mechanical knowledge.

It is usually folded on the arm, with a thin layer of iron sheet, and when unfolded, it becomes a multifunctional mechanical arm, which can meet the needs of some dangerous experiments.

In this way, even if there is another accident next time, it can largely avoid injury to the body.

When it comes to the mechanical arm, Jike raised his left hand. The palm that was blown off is now completely restored, because of the bionic skin, it looks no different from a normal palm.

He said excitedly: "Teacher, I feel great. It is exactly the same as my own hand. And the function of the external mechanical arm is also very practical. I have never seen such an exquisite mechanical arm in the whole of Lingdon!"

Seeing that he wanted to show the mechanical arm on the spot, Su Lun stopped him with a chuckle.

After all, the functional and exclusive robotic arm will only become more perfect after continuous improvement after trying. He added: "It's good to get used to it. If you have any other functional requirements, you can tell me. I'll ask the mechanics in the workshop to help you modify it."

Jake nodded, "Yes."

He suddenly thought of something, and his expression darkened inexplicably.

Before staying in the teacher's war workshop for a few days, Jike saw the world's top mechanical technology and the senior mechanics of Mafa, which also made him deeply aware of the scientific and technological differences between Lu Ying and Mafa. huge gap!

There is a sense of loss when a country bumpkin enters the city and feels that there is a huge gap in everything he sees.

Let him know that he still has a long way to go.

At this time, Jike said seriously: "Teacher, I have thought about the proposal you said before. I decided to go to Marfa to study."

Su Lun was not surprised, "Oh?"

Jike said again: "The Royal Academy is indeed the holy land of traditional alchemy, but the research in mechanical engineering and ammunition is too backward. Only by going to the Marfa Empire can I learn the knowledge I want, and I can also learn in this field. Drill deeper."

Su Lun had known for a long time that he would make such a choice.

A genius in ammunition science, he wasted his talent in Lu Ying, he felt like a bird trapped in a cage.

The ceiling is too low to fly high after all.

Although Jike looks pretty good now, he is already shining like a star.

But that was all his genius, a gizmo that happened in a flash of inspiration.

Not enough to make him a great ammunitionist.

After really knowing more, Su Lun also realized how important systematic knowledge is. That will make people take less detours and go further.

And only in the Marfa Empire, there is a complete and mature ammunition division system.

Su Lun said: "Just think about it. The road ahead is very long. Since you have chosen, no matter how difficult it is, you have to go on your own."

Jike said very seriously: "Yes! Teacher, I have made up my mind!"

Hearing this, Su Lun didn't say much, "That's good. You take care of the college's affairs in the past few days. I will arrange things about studying later."

"Um."

Jake nodded.

But at this time, Sabina on the side cleverly saw the reluctance quietly suppressed by the decisive light in Jike's eyes when he spoke. She smiled and asked, "Little Jake, have you invited your Phoebe classmate to dinner recently?"

Hearing this, Jake's eyes suddenly became dodgy, his confidence just now flashed, and he stammered: "Ah no. No."

If there was one thing he couldn't let go of at the Royal Academy, it was his only friend, Phoebe.

Sabina didn't understand, and said with a smile: "True love will not fade because of distance and time, but will become more and more mellow. As long as the girl agrees, I will personally hand over the invitation from her family."

Jake has lost his family.

Master's disciple, she herself is considered an elder, so naturally she should care a little bit.

Sabina's words were too straightforward, and Jake was a little at a loss for a while, and said in a panic: "Madam, I and Phoebe are not what you think."

He wanted to say that he and Phoebe were friends, but they didn't necessarily think otherwise.

The meeting outside the small auditorium that day, the girl's thoughts could not be hidden from Sabina. She didn't have those youthful tweaks, and said bluntly: "Be brave, that little girl actually likes you quite a bit. At the dance party, invite her to dance."

Sabina originally planned to invite the little girl to dinner at home as an elder, but she has been busy advancing to the fourth level recently, so she didn't take the time to come.

If I have the opportunity today, I will help facilitate this matter.

Otherwise, I really have to wait for Jike to speak, I'm afraid I'll miss it.

Hearing this, Jike was still a little hesitant.

Because he had lived in a humble way for more than a year in the academy.

He is so humble that apart from the little sense of academic achievement, he thinks anything else is extravagant.

But thinking that he might go to the Marfa Empire to study in the future, if he doesn't speak again, maybe this farewell will last a lifetime.

Only then did Jike muster up his courage, and replied, "Oh."

PS. It's a bit of a calf, sorry for the water loss.
