Mechanical Alchemist

Su Lun rode a motorcycle all the way from Solomon Street, and then came to an unremarkable rental house in Franklin District.

With such a big incident today, he didn't intend to continue to show his face, and he didn't contact anyone.

Hide it first, so as not to be found by some special means.

As for other things, wait until the limelight passes.

Moreover, now that [Lilith's Vampire Ring] has been obtained, he plans to take this opportunity to advance to the sixth level.

If you really have to wait for a big promotion, your combat power will soar a lot, and you will be more calm in dealing with any changes.

In the room, Su Lun put Uncle Ya on the bed and served him with delicious food and drink.

This is the most important "insurance" and cannot be neglected.

He also sat on the sofa and let out a long breath.

The nerves have been tense, and it is only now that they are relieved.

Su Lun reviewed all the things that happened today in his mind, and he almost figured out the context: "Since it is confirmed that Young Master William is the mastermind and dared to plot Rodriguez's old monster, then Grand Duke Raphael must be involved .My action was so accurately predicted, it looks like some kind of prophecy-like secret technique, it seems that the priest who used the 'prism barrier' should be the remaining priest of the Temple of Agaparton."

After confirming the identity of the enemy, Su Lun also gained some confidence.

That young master William had killed himself once, and now he must kill this guy again to avoid future troubles.

William's sixth-level strength was once daunting, but now it is not a big threat to Su Lun. But behind him is the Regadi family, who used to be the Marfa royal family, so don't be careless.

If you want to kill, you have to find a suitable opportunity.

As for Grand Duke Raphael, this is a bit of a headache.

This "sixth largest member of parliament" has the potential to dominate the Congress, and his power is so powerful that several other veteran noble members have nothing to do.

Moreover, from the beginning to the end of this incident, Grand Duke Raphael had no reason to grasp, and there was no way to reason.

However, Su Lun felt that a person like himself, who must take revenge, would not have any reason and evidence.

But it is almost impossible to assassinate Grand Duke Raphael.

Even if it can be killed, there is no real benefit other than causing a lot of trouble to the upper body.

Su Lun suddenly thought of something, rolled his eyes, and said to himself: "I remember that there is information in the memory that was stripped before that there is a secret mechanical war factory of Rafael near the 'Nuggets Island'?"

Thinking of this, the heart of a pirate suddenly surged up in his heart.

If you plan on me, I'll get some compensation, right?

The war factory in the wild sea seems to be a secret base similar to "Old Lingdon". Specializing in the study of mechanical creatures such as mechanical octopuses, the most important thing is that the defense force is not very strict!

It just so happened that Su Lun felt that his war workshop was still lacking in various ways, and Rafael had a machine factory that had been secretly researched for decades, with sufficient materials, technology, and technical personnel.

Well, after the blessing of the wedding, go and mess with him!

Su Lun thought of this, and the wave of depression that was calculated today also dissipated a lot.

And being calculated this time is not all a bad thing.

Now that there is a commotion, those who are well-informed probably know that "Reaper" is "Fick".

It also means that even if he knows that he has neuromechanical technology in his hands, there is no point in chasing him down.

Because normal people would think that the technology must have fallen into the hands of the Lance family.

This is also one of the benefits of Su Lun agreeing to the marriage.

In the name of the marriage, the Lance family also had to protect him from some wind and rain.

Su Lun felt that although Ekaterina was not considered a friend, she was also a very good partner.

But in the end, everything must speak with strength.

The next time you encounter such a conspiracy, you have to be strong enough to make those conspirators lose a few teeth.

Just as Su Lun wanted to take a breath, he suddenly gasped with a "squeak", and glanced at the wound on his arm again.

This is the wound cut by [Sigurd's Dragon Slayer's Dagger].

Originally, this kind of minor trauma should have healed on its own based on his constitution, but now it is still bleeding, and there are red, swollen and inflamed signs of infection.

If it wasn't for the physical suture with silk thread, 80% of the bleeding would be fatal.

Now that he has free time, he has time to deal with the wound.

Su Lun removed the silk thread suturing the wound, and saw a mysterious force preventing the wound from healing.

He took out a few high-grade debridement medicines to rinse the wound repeatedly, and the power slowly dissipated.

After using a dozen of them, it was completely cleaned up. The wound is also starting to heal.

At this time, Su Lun took out the red dagger and looked at it, and muttered: "This [Dragon Slaying Dagger] is really wicked."

It's a dagger, more like a dagger.

Taking a closer look, the scarlet glowing blade still has ancient and mysterious lines. Some are alchemy runes, some are metal forging patterns, and some are special patterns that cannot be understood.

And what's amazing is that these special lines cannot be seen with the right eye, and only the omniscient pupil of the left eye can see the blurred shadow.

"What a high-level inscription, this is probably the legendary god-level rune."

Su Lun observed carefully for a while, as if admiring a peerless treasure.

The inscription on this dagger gave him a lot of inspiration.

It's like seeing the twinkling stars in the night sky. Although they can't be touched, they can be regarded as looking up at the scenery in the sky.

It was identified as a "Depraved Magic Weapon".

But now, it is probably an alchemy dagger of the "Forbidden Object" level.

Su Lun frowned when he saw it, and thought with some difficulty: "This dagger needs to absorb the blood of high-level creatures to maintain its sharpness and special effects. Augustus also used it to kill people every day, so he gradually gained such sharpness. It needs to be maintained. It's not easy."

This is indeed a magic weapon.

The most common "higher creatures" are humans.

You have to kill people every day in order to maintain this almost evil sharpness.

People from the Rodriguez family will carry them to the various prisons in Lingdon to execute prisoners, including some high-level professional prisoners. After decades of warming up, they have the sharpness they have now.

Su Lun has no such conditions.

I tried it just now, and the blood bag watering didn't work. It is necessary to stab and kill creatures to have a weak BUFF blessing.

He is not a murderous maniac either, just to maintain a weapon, he kills random people every day.

In other words, if the dagger fell into his hands, the blade would gradually blunt.

It's really a pity.

After all, whether to slay a dragon or not is another matter for the time being, this is a top-level weapon that can hurt a seventh-level professional.

"I don't know if a living corpse is a living thing?"

Su Lun thought of something.

It would be great if the living corpse could also maintain the dagger.

Although the cost is a bit high, but fortunately it is acceptable.

He thought about trying again in the future.

And this dagger also has a special effect, that is, the more advanced creatures it kills, the greater the special effect of temporary sharpness will be.

And when Su Danglun saw the dagger was identified, and there was a description of "drinking the blood of the gods and restoring the light of the magic weapon", his thoughts became active.

There was anticipation in Su Lun's eyes, and he thought in his heart: "So, temporarily enchanting with 'divine blood' will make this dagger have a miraculous effect?"

"Active divine blood" is definitely not available to others, and it doesn't even exist in the entire plane.

Because this is a plane with broken laws, it is impossible to have truly god-level creatures.

But Su Lun has it!

Everyone in the mirror organization has a fallen angel limb in their hands, which is definitely a true god.

Although his own heart has been refined into a reproductive suit, Mr. Ke Jing still has some "divine blood" in stock.

Moreover, the divine fire of this fallen angel was fused by Pestoia. In theory, this fallen angel is not dead yet!

His blood might have a miraculous effect on this dagger.

When Su Lun thought of this, he also felt that the dagger would be of great use in the future if it fell into his hands.

The next morning, the weather was fine.

The rumble of the first steam intercity train passing by on the street outside woke Su Lun from his meditation.

He opened his eyes, looking at the blue sky outside the window, his eyes were full of energy.

This night of meditation not only healed the injuries from yesterday's battle, but also digested the knowledge gained yesterday.

"Huh~ This harvest is really not easy."

Su Lun felt a sense of fullness of knowledge that he had never felt before.

Yesterday's battle harvested Augustus, as well as the one or two hundred golden knights. The amount of knowledge was so great that he felt that he had almost digested it now.

Needless to say, the old monster, who has lived for more than a hundred years, is difficult for ordinary people to compare in terms of knowledge and alchemy knowledge.

However, after being stuck on the seventh-order threshold and knowing that he couldn't break through, this old monster went more to study tricks.

But even so, he has studied almost all the fields of alchemy below the seventh level thoroughly.

Although the knowledge above the seventh level has not been comprehended, there is still some contact.

This made Su Lun directly pick up a big deal, and immediately felt like his knowledge doubled.

Especially when it involves some high-level hidden fields, it is an eye-opener.

He also has a clearer understanding of the various decadent status quo of Luying's upper class society.

And the one or two hundred golden knights also made Su Lun feel that he had gained a lot.

[Golden Spear Legion Battle Formation], [Golden Shield Legion Battle Formation], [Dragon Slaying Battle Formation], [Seventy-two Transformation Essentials], [Secret Formula of Medicinal Bath], [Forging Blueprint of Golden Heavy Armor]. etc.

This "Golden Holy Shield Heavy Armored Knight Legion" is one of the top legions of Lu Ying, and it is also a noble legion that has been passed down by the Rodriguez family for hundreds of years.

It is said that it is a training method handed down from a certain dragon-slaying knight regiment in ancient times.

Su Lun digested those memories, and it really happened.

This kind of group charge is really effective against single large monsters and top professionals. All kinds of changing tactics also revolve around rushing to make up for the position. What about breathing, interrupting, and making up for exhaustion, the various tactics have almost taken into account everything in the battle.

Normally speaking, yesterday's combat power of 300 riders is completely enough to not lose the wind against one or two seventh-level professionals, and even have the possibility of killing them.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the average momentum level is high enough, dragon slaying is feasible.

Su Lun felt a cold sweat for himself.

The combat power of these elite knights is not comparable to that of the ragtag pirates. Three hundred knights are enough to kill seven out of tens of thousands of pirates with tactics.

If it wasn't for the powerful weapon [Storm Hammer], he really couldn't beat it!

And the "Battle Formation Method" is the untold secret of the major armies of Luying. These are the intangible capital accumulated by the major families in actual combat for thousands of years.

These can be used directly on the puppet army.

The Legion Battle Formation is the most effective way to transform the quantitative advantage into a quality combat power!

After Su Lun harvested this knowledge, he immediately had the idea of ​​forming a golden heavy armored puppet army.

He has a lot of third- and fourth-tier puppets in his hand, as well as fifth- and sixth-tier mechanical armor. If these low-level combat power can besieged and killed top professionals, the combat power of the puppet army will be truly terrifying!

And that knowledge.

The conditions for the Rodriguez family to recruit family knights are very strict, and all of them are elites of the same rank.

Most of these noble knights have the experience of studying in major alchemy academies, and they harvested a lot of miscellaneous knowledge.

This is the most satisfying time Su Lun has harvested so far.

Just as Su Lun was thinking, at this moment, the cries of newsboys came from downstairs.

He opened the window, tossed a few coins and got back some newspapers.

After looking through it, sure enough, he was on the front page of the newspaper again.

The headline of the "Queen's Metropolis Daily" is: The outlaw "Reaper" made a scene in Lingdun, murdered high-ranking nobles, and committed a heinous crime.

The headline of the "Winningtown Daily" is: "Death" appeared in Queens, fought with the big gangs in Lington, broke the scene where a member of the nobleman brutally sucked the blood of a girl;

The benefactors behind the several newspapers are different, and the tone of the description is also different.

The newspapers of the Rodriguez family naturally condemned him, but they avoided mentioning anything about Augustus.

The Lance family's "Lingdon Daily" published in detail the live photos of Augustus sucking the blood of a young girl after August's transformation in that alien space.

Augustus was in a hurry to save his life, and the gang kidnapped a large number of young professionals, causing quite a stir.

Yesterday, Su Lun handed over all the surviving girls who had been rescued to Sabina to the Lance family.

Now that there are photos and survivors, I think the Rodriguez family will definitely have a headache.

The political opponents will not let go of such a good opportunity, and the political situation in Lingdon will inevitably fluctuate greatly.

Su Lun didn't care about things that he couldn't interfere with. He quickly flipped through all the newspapers, and saw another piece of news that he cared about: Jerome Offfast, the S-rank wanted criminal "Judger of Hell", brutally murdered Thousands of people are wanted in the whole city!

Although the black and white photo accompanying the picture was a bit blurry, Su Lun immediately recognized the old cowboy when he looked at the guy in the form of a flame demon.

However, it seems that it is not the second death state when he left yesterday, but a more exaggerated demon lord.

I don't know how many times I died like that.

Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief: "The old man is not dead yet."

After carefully reading the contents of the newspaper, he also realized that the old cowboy returned to Parrot Street after helping him drag "Punishment Lawyer" Aymo yesterday, and almost killed all the gangsters.

Then last night before the newspaper was printed, they also bloodbathed and washed the headquarters of the "Sun Slave Chamber of Commerce Headquarters", "Narwhal Company" and other large slave trading firms.

Su Lun looked at the death list. Several big slave dealers and arms dealers were killed, which is why there was such a commotion.

Only then did Su Lun understand why the old cowboy said "a lot of people will die".

This kind of killing is probably related to his ability.

After reading the newspaper, Su Lun had a general understanding of the aftermath of yesterday's events.

Sabina didn't contact her, which meant that there was nothing particularly important.

Only then did he take out the [Lilith's Vampire] ring.

It's just that there's a big commotion, these few days must avoid the limelight, so it's better to advance.

This rental house is also safe enough.

Three blocks away is the Library of Congress, where Mr. Black is.

If you really want to be approached by someone, there will be someone who can support you immediately.

It was also the hiding place that Su Lun had deliberately chosen before.

After recovering for one night, he was in good condition. After appraising the success rate of fusing the cursed materials, it was 1.5% higher than yesterday.

This increase in probability is probably due to the digestion of those knowledge and a deeper understanding of the law.

There is also Dr. Banks' potion, the probability of distortion is less than 8%, it is totally worth a try.

Su Lun put Uncle Ya on the balcony, put away the bed, made room, and began to arrange the advanced alchemy array.

The alchemy formation required to advance to the sixth level is very complicated. Usually, the fifth-level professionals at this step need to invite some master-level formation masters to help arrange it.

But it was not too difficult for Su Lun, and the materials had already been prepared.

The ultra-large high-purity crystals obtained from the sea ruins, the highest-quality red copper, mithril, and agate powder bought in the Lindun Alchemy Market, and the blood of the seventh-level monsters are used as a concocting agent.

Everything is the best material available and there is little chance of failure due to material.

Not long after, he had already arranged a professionally advanced seven-pointed star formation.

Then Su Lun stood naked in the center of the formation, put on the vampire ring, and chanted the ceremonial alchemy spell: "Follow the law of equal exchange of all things, praise the glory of the original creator, use alchemy Witness the miracle of creation”

For a moment, the alchemy array lit up.

The real shock caused by Su Lun's killing of Augustus yesterday was far more turbulent than what was reported in the newspapers.

From last night to the present, there has been a surge of undercurrents in Lingdun, the royal family, the military intelligence department, the police station, and various forces of all sizes.

In the Lokovalen River, an unknown number of corpses sank overnight.

Rodriguez is still in a state of confusion over the assassination of the ancestor; William of the Regadi family is also investigating who the "big man" who obstructed the official action is; seats in Congress, drafting a new arms bill; MI and Rington police are busy chasing the murderer

Just when all the forces in Lingdun were in a mess, Ekaterina had already arrived in front of an inconspicuous villa in South City by motorcycle.

After getting out of the car, she tidied up her long black dress and walked towards the house after seeing that there was no disrespect.

Without waiting for any entourage, Catherine stepped up the steps and rang the doorbell.

"Ding dong~"

The doorbell rang, and a middle-aged woman who looked like a housekeeper opened the door, made a gesture of greeting, and said, "Oh, Miss Ekaterina, you are here~ Please come inside, the master is waiting for you on the second floor What about chess?"

"Um."

Ekaterina also nodded politely to the housekeeper before entering the room.

There are no other servants in the room, and the decoration is very ordinary. It's just that the pile of books makes people think that the owner of the house will be a very knowledgeable person.

Probably because the old man was afraid of the cold, firewood was burning in the fireplace during the day, crackling.

After walking a few steps, the moment Ekaterina stepped onto the stairs on the second floor, her expression changed for a moment, and she even found a rare fluctuation in her mood.

Since entering the Holy Realm, this kind of uncertain wandering thoughts has never happened before.

The strange color subsided for a moment, and she continued to go upstairs calmly.

When I went upstairs, I happened to be looking at the small table next to the bed. An old man with a gray beard was studying the endgame on the chessboard with great interest.

Ekaterina's eyes flashed and disappeared.

She didn't expect that this old man who had refused anyone to visit for several years would actually agree to her request for a door-to-door visit.

At the same time, the old man also looked over, a kind smile appeared in a pair of wise cloudy eyes, and he greeted: "Katyusha, come, let's play the next game with the old man."

Hearing this greeting, Ekaterina seemed to have returned to the scene ten years ago, when the ignorant little girl followed her father to visit but messed up the old man's study.

She smiled and said, "Okay, Grandpa Pierre."

The housekeeper brought the tea,

Katyusha sat opposite the old man, and the two of them set up the chess pieces and started the game.

On the black and white chessboard, exquisite crystal chess pieces fell step by step, clanging and crisp.

Time is slow and peaceful.

One old and one young, you come and go.

Ekaterina played very seriously.

That pretty face sometimes frowned in thought, sometimes rejoiced, and sometimes pouted at her own bad move, just like an innocent little girl.

In front of this old man, she has no pretense.

After one round, another round.

Ekaterina did not show any impatience, she watched carefully and chatted with the old man about some trivial matters.

But most of the time, she was the one who listened quietly while the old man spoke in a leisurely manner.

"Girl's chess skills are getting better and better. Not bad, not bad, she has a strong edge and a long-term layout. Even though she is a woman, no one can match her chess power."

"Grandpa, you have won the prize."

"I saw that young man yesterday, girl, you really have a good eye."

"Katyusha didn't expect that you would help him."

"Haha, it's rare to meet a nice young man. Besides, if I don't help, he will be fine. Just be a favor."

"≧≦."

"By the way, Katyusha, how is Grandma Nizu doing?"

"She has passed away."

"Why didn't I hear you talking about it? Oh, there are only three or two of my friends with this old bone. She's gone. I should give her a ride no matter what."

"Sorry, grandpa. Grandma went to Shanyin and said she was going to meet an old friend. The old family didn't want others to know, so they didn't tell anyone."

"Oh, that's it. Then I know who it is. I almost forgot. When she was in the academy, she had a close relationship with a boy from a commoner family. At that time, many people in our academy were envious. No After thinking about it for so many years, she still hasn't forgotten it."

"Grandma Grandma went to Shanyin before, and she said that what she couldn't part with the most was some old friends in Lingdun. Originally, she wanted to see you, but she didn't want to come because she thought it would be the last time. She just left It's crisp."

"Well, that's just her character."

"Grandma Grandma also told me some little secrets. She said that you, Grandpa Pierre, fought a duel for her when you were young. Then, you were beaten."

"Hahaha, she told you all these embarrassing things about me? Oh, I remember that it was more than 80 years ago, it seems to be the summer of 915 in the Lu Ying calendar"

"Oh, once she leaves, the old man will have even less memories in this world. Friends around you are leaving one after another, just like someone has taken away one after another care in your life. In the end, it seemed like there was nothing worth remembering."

"Girl, you don't think I'm a nagging old man, do you?"

"No. Grandpa Pierre, do you want to know a secret?"

"Oh, let's hear it?"

"When I was a child, I secretly read grandma's diary. In the diary, she praised you for being handsome and personable."

"Really? Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have been desperate."

"But, she said, she doesn't like you either. Because you don't understand poetry. She also said that the world in your eyes is too high for people to touch."

"Hahaha"

"."

Smiling and laughing, a little sparkle appeared in the old man's eyes.

Unknowingly, in those conversations, I looked back on my whole life.

Thinking about it now, it is still clear, and it is just the memory of those old friends.

While chatting, the old man suddenly started talking about something else, and asked casually: "Girl, I remember ten years ago, in this study, you said you wanted to be a great poet. Now, Do you still want to be a poet?"

Hearing this, Ekaterina thought about it seriously, and then responded: "Of course, the dream will not change. But before that, I think I will become a great emperor."

The old man was not surprised when he heard the words that this outsider would definitely be frightened. He raised his white eyebrows and said with great interest: "Oh?"

Ekaterina tilted her head and thought for a while, then continued: "A stronger empire can be built because of strong power."

The old man saw something, and smiled again: "But why are you wavering again?"

Ekaterina did not hide her momentary turmoil, saying: "It seems that at that moment suddenly, I realized that no matter how powerful an empire is, it will collapse, and only the continuation of civilization will be truly meaningful. Even if the history of countless years later Dust covers it, but it cannot obliterate the brilliant brilliance of civilization."

The old man's eyes flickered, and he smiled slightly.

Before entering the door, Ekaterina was still a little apprehensive.

But now, her heart is at peace.

She didn't know why she had a change of mind.

The purpose has not changed, but the mood has changed.

But she seemed to hear the elders talking about the past. She seemed to see that many years later, she was sitting here with white hair, playing chess with a junior who didn't know who she was, and chatting about her life.

At that time, if you look back on your own life, what can you remember?

The old man said just now: I still have a clear memory, but there are only a few old friends.

Listening to the answer, a kind and satisfied smile appeared on Pierre's face. After pondering for a moment, he finally said: "Girl, before I die, I want to take in a disciple."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, then looked at Ekaterina, and asked, "Are you willing to be my disciple?"

God Ekaterina seemed to have foreseen something, she stood up solemnly, and bowed her hands in a master-student salute: "Teacher."

With this bow, Lu Ying's situation has changed since then.
