Mechanical Alchemist

Su Lun and Ekaterina walked out of the room.

At this moment, hundreds of reporters from dozens of newspapers in Lu Ying had been waiting for a long time at the gate of Mechess Manor.

Watching the two come out, all kinds of cameras snapped at them.

The wedding of the prince and princess is bound to attract a lot of attention, and it is also the big news that will appear in the headlines of major newspapers tomorrow.

Su Lun wore a classical aristocratic military uniform with extraordinary appearance.

Ekaterina wore a black diamond dress, she looked beautiful and had an extraordinary temperament.

Not only outsiders, but even the vast majority of the Lance family saw their young lady in such a well-dressed appearance for the first time. It was the first time I saw that Prince Fick.

As soon as the two of them showed up, they surprised all the onlookers.

"Wow, His Royal Highness is really handsome!"

"Princess Ekaterina is more beautiful than the legends say, my God, they are so well matched."

"A random shot is the most beautiful photo. Oh how lucky I am to be invited to such a dreamy wedding."

"."

Regardless of their appearance or temperament, the two are outstanding, and this is a couple that other people will find to be a good match at first glance.

It's really like the fairy tales that most people in Luying have heard since they were young. The beautiful princess married the handsome prince, which is a bit romantic.

There is a golden carriage parked on the side of the street, which is pulled by eight bright white horses. This is an antique from hundreds of years ago, and only important royals are eligible to use this carriage to participate in the celebration.

Su Lun helped Ekaterina into the carriage in a gentlemanly manner, and then he followed suit.

Although as a qualified tool man, he has long since awakened, the feeling of being under the spotlight still makes Su Lun feel a little uncomfortable.

I am used to walking in the dark, and suddenly encountering bright sunshine, it seems that it is not the same world.

The marriage procedure of the top nobles is very cumbersome.

The two had to ride a golden carriage around the main road of Lingdun City, and then go to the Frederick Palace to receive the Queen's blessing, and then go to the "Zosimus Alchemy Temple" for the ceremony, followed by Reception, Appreciation Dinner

In short, the whole day is full of arrangements.

The carriage galloped on the Lingdun Central Avenue, and passed the Lingdun Iron Bridge in a short time. Along the way, people in various costumes lined the road to welcome them. The red carpet was paved, and the streets were surrounded by gorgeous flowers.

The task of Su Lun and Ekaterina was to show their faces through the streets in a carriage, and then waved to people and smiled.

It's a boring process, and it will last for hours, and the laughter can make people's faces stiff.

"Click", "Click", "Click".

The rhythmic trampling sound of eight horses is the most heard.

It seems that they got to know each other again in the room before, and the atmosphere in the carriage was good.

Su Lun also found that together with the previous few meetings, she actually got along very happily with Ekaterina.

It's not that there is that kind of trust between them, it's just that Ye's EQ is so high that you know that she may have other purposes, but you can't feel a little disgust in your heart. What she paid must be more than what you got.

Su Lun could also see that Ekaterina had higher-level pursuits in her eyes.

It was so high that it seemed that everything was out of her sight right now.

At least in her eyes, the wedding was the same as Su Lun's. It was purely a process to achieve a certain purpose.

How to describe it.

The temperament of the superior?

Probably this feeling.

Just like when playing chess, she looks at all the problems on the chessboard from a bird's-eye view.

Su Lun felt that Ekaterina would definitely be a very good leader in the future.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Nobles, they come and go with power.

Su Lun has absolutely no interest in politics or anything.

But the few hours in the carriage are really boring, so I have to find something to talk about.

He asked, "Miss Ekaterina, what state are you in now?"

There's not much to talk about, and it's just that the two of them are alone, so just ask something interesting.

Su Lun was really curious about Ye's strength.

The last time she was in the city-state of Moros, she directly destroyed the Temple of Agapanon with the mysterious technique of meteors falling from the sky, which can be called a stroke of genius.

This method is generally impossible for top professionals.

When Yekaterina heard this, she didn't mean to hide it at all.

She still had a smile on her pretty face responding to the pedestrians on the side of the road, but said in her mouth: "Currently I am at the sixth level. But because I have entered the holy realm through the 'poetry' approach, I can enter the seventh level at any time. It's just that I don't have enough understanding of the field. It's perfect, and I don't plan to rush to advance."

"oh."

Su Lun's expression was slightly different.

He thought that he belonged to the kind of professionals with great opportunities and outstanding talents. But now there is no hope on the seventh-order threshold, and it may even be stuck here for a lifetime.

As a result, this person said that he could advance "at any time"?

There was also the understatement of the word "Holy Land" in Yekaterina's mouth, which made Su Lun envious.

Poetry is also one of the legal ways to condense the godhead.

Before I asked Mr. Jing if there was any shortcut to advance to the seventh level, she said yes.

The most reliable shortcut is to "become holy".

Like Qianjo's "Sword Master", and this "Poet Master" in front of him.

There are countless extraordinary laws in the world, and if you grasp a certain one, you can go further.

After entering the Holy Realm, with the domineering ability to control everything, one can comprehend one's own "field" almost 100% and advance to the seventh level.

There are also prophecies, disasters, kingship, wisdom, healing, magic, war, death...etc.

This is a deeper understanding of the laws of all things beyond the surface.

It can be said that before the seventh level of a professional, it is like looking for gold in the sand, with pieces here and there;

And after the seventh level, it is to recognize the direction of the ore veins, and really grasp the extraordinary law.

Even though Su Lun has such a deep understanding of the law of death, he still hasn't touched what that illusory "sacred realm" is.

It can be imagined that this road is very difficult.

Thousands of thoughts raced through Su Lun's mind, and they turned into a sincere sigh: "Miss Ekaterina is amazing."

"It's not that great."

Hearing this, Ekaterina seemed to have thought of something, and smiled slightly: "And it's also thanks to Mr. Su Lun. Because I met you, I was able to enter the holy realm smoothly."

"???"

Su Lun was full of question marks.

This comprehension does not depend on oneself, so what does it have to do with others?

Ekaterina obviously guessed what he was thinking, and explained: "Do you still remember the time we met in the Emerald Holy Land of the Dalu people? That time I saw the complete volume of [Poetry of Ossiang], and I Gradually comprehend the true meaning of poetry. As for your relationship with Mr. Su Lun, because Katyusha wrote you in her poems."

Su Lun frowned slightly when he heard this, and murmured softly, "Katyusha."

Ekaterina seemed to have thought of something, but there was no fluctuation in her eyes.

Their tone, as if there is a third person in this shared experience.

There was a moment of silence in the carriage.

Su Lun seemed to understand something.

But it has also been confirmed that this path of poetry is not something he can imagine.

Shrugging his shoulders, he asked casually, "Miss Ekaterina, do you know of any foreign objects that can assist in comprehending the domain?"

I asked Mr. Jing before, and she also said that some cursed objects do have this effect, but they are extremely rare.

Thinking about the background of the old aristocrats like the Lance family, maybe they have, or maybe they have heard of it.

Hearing this, Ekaterina hesitated, glanced at him, and asked, "Do you really want me to tell you?"

Su Lun looked puzzled.

What does this mean, really?

But it seems that there is something in the words.

He said: "Of course."

Hearing this, a strange look flashed across Ekaterina's face, and she said bluntly: "Regadi used to be the Marfa royal family, and they had a special inheritance sacred object - [Desecrated Crown]. It is said that this crown has a master The extraordinary characteristics of all things have the effect of blessing the rule of the emperor. More importantly, it is a special cursed object that can super-improve the field perception of professionals. It is also because of this inherited sacred object that the owners of the Rhaegar Lands of all generations Almost everyone can advance to the seventh level smoothly. Few people know this secret, and I only learned about it from the teacher."

"oh?"

Su Lun was overjoyed, asking the right person.

It turned out to be a sacred object inherited from the Regadi family.

As the royal family that had ruled Marfa for hundreds of years, Lei Jiadi's background was no worse than that of the Luying royal family. Some special treasures are too normal.

However, even if there is this thing, I feel that I can't get it.

Although the original owner's surname is "Legadi", the relationship between Su Lun and those guys is not good.

But obviously, there is something hidden in the matter.

Speaking of this, Ekaterina changed the subject, and said directly: "However, only the Patriarch of Lei Jiadi, or the first heir, is eligible to touch this crown."

"."

When Su Lun heard this, she immediately understood why she hesitated just now.

Because if you say this, you will die.

Previously, the coup d'état implicated the Kingdom of Regardi, and several branches of the family fought each other, so that only two sons of the owner Kelsen's line survived.

One is the eldest son William.

Another one is "Fick".

Moreover, what's more subtle is that Su Lun now knows that Yekaterina is not just an ordinary princess of the Lance family, she is one of the most ambitious and capable people he has ever seen.

She and the Lance family behind her have big plans, how could they marry and be satisfied with a second son?

Obviously, from the perspective of interests, it is more in line with the interests to marry with the first in line heir.

But the truth is, she chose Fick.

Although there are bound to be many twists and turns in this, Su Lun has roughly figured it out.

That is, if we really have to infer from the perspective of the ultimate benefit, the marriage of the Lance family will maximize the benefits only if the young master William dies!

But the thing is, whoever kills that William is going to be in big trouble.

The Regadi family is not easy to provoke. Apart from the two imperial royal families, this is the strongest veteran noble family.

Whoever dares to kill him will inevitably lead to devastating revenge.

However, only "Fick" can't.

Brothers fight for position and turn against each other, this kind of plot has long been common in the aristocratic circle.

Even if William is really killed, Fick will become the sole heir, and he will not suffer any backlash.

Simply perfect.

Ekaterina's words just now are simply expressing: Hurry up and kill William, only by killing can you get the treasure.

That's why she hesitated just now.

After talking here, Su Lun and Ekaterina looked at each other, saw the calm smile in her eyes, and smiled knowingly.

Although they didn't say it, they understood each other.

Su Lun is very clear, but if the Lance family really wants to plot against him, there must be more subtle means to lead to the same goal.

But Ye is now blunt.

This move makes all distrust turn into smoke.

What's more, the enmity between Su Lun and William was before they met Ekaterina.

Regardless of whether it would benefit the third-party fisherman or not, once he had the chance, he would definitely kill that young master William who murdered him twice.

What's more, I have heard about the treasure now.

Su Lun is not interested in the succession rights of the kingdom at all. Instead, he is thinking about when he will have the opportunity to identify the attribute of the [Desecrated Crown].

But after thinking about it, another weird idea came to his mind: he only agreed to the marriage, but he didn't plan to play any rights game with them, and killed William later, how should the Lance family seize power?

Ekaterina seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. At this time, she said another meaningful sentence, "I will only marry this once in my life, and there will only be one man. So in the future, if you have If you hear any news, don't be too surprised."

"???"

Su Lun was confused and didn't know why she suddenly said such a thing.

He tilted his head to look over, and happened to see that beautiful face responding with a light smile, "You will know later."

The calmness and profundity in her crystal eyes made Su Lun feel as if he had returned to the time when they were playing chess just now.

From the first step of the move, she seemed to have thought of the chess game many moves later.

Su Lun still didn't understand what he just said.

Just then the carriage stopped.

Ekaterina looked like a qualified newlywed wife, she put her arms around Su Lun's arm, and said, "Let's go, get out of the car. It's time for us to go to the palace to receive the queen's blessing."

Hearing this, the helplessness on Su Lun's face disappeared, and the gentleman smiled: "Yes."

The golden carriage stopped at the gate of Frederick Palace.

Su Lun got out of the car first, took Yekaterina's slender hand and welcomed her down as well.

Surrounded by a group of people, the two walked slowly towards the palace.

With white walls and sapphire blue spires, this is a magnificent complex of buildings.

As Su Lun walked, his perception was fully released, and his left eye was shining brightly.

Walking all the way into the palace, he saw too many magic restrictions. Those dangerous and subtle restrictions can keep the vast majority of illegal trespassers out of the wall. Even if it is teleportation in space, the void is trapped everywhere. The imperial palace was wrapped like a hedgehog by various defensive restrictions, and almost no flaws were seen.

And in perception, there are too many masters in the palace.

The palace guards I encountered were all professionals of the fourth rank at least, and the captains of the royal guards seemed to be professionals of the sixth rank or above. Deep in the palace, there seems to be more than one top professional.

No matter how you look at it, anyone who wants to make trouble here will have a narrow escape!

This made Su Lun feel like walking on the edge of a knife with chills all the time.

After all, he and the Priory of Giants are now mortal enemies, and have killed several archbishops. Not surprisingly, there should be a top powerhouse of the Priory of Giants in the Royal Bonaparte.

Ekaterina obviously felt his cautiousness, she gently took Su Lun's arm, and smiled empathetically.

With the disciple of the first enshrined Master Pierre in the royal family by his side, Su Lun felt that the danger was a little less.

Half an hour later, the two walked out of the palace.

Before Su Lun came to the wedding, he felt that the most dangerous part was coming to the palace to meet the queen.

No idea, there is no danger at all.

The two accepted the Queen's blessing and walked out of the palace smoothly.

The Queen Charlotte was a grizzled old lady. Although she looked a bit harsh, Su Lun had confirmed that she was not a believer of the Outer God.

Although he knew the news before, Su Lun was still a little surprised.

The two returned to the golden carriage, and the next destination was to go to the "Zosimos Alchemy Sanctuary" to hold a ceremony.

The carriage drove without haste.

In the car, Su Lun was still thinking about what he saw just now, but he couldn't figure out some problems.

Ekaterina seemed to have guessed his doubts, and suddenly said, "What are you thinking?"

Su Lun said: "I was thinking, since the empress is not a believer, why would she allow various foreign god sects to spread in Luying?"

Ekaterina obviously knew some inside information, and said: "Before the restoration of the Bona royal family, there was a mysterious force behind it. Now it seems that it is the 'Priority of Giants'. And there are various signs that the reason why Her Majesty the Queen passed The "Freedom of Belief Act" is very likely to have reached some kind of secret deal with that Outer God sect."

Su Lun also felt that this argument was reasonable, and said: "But... the Red Death will inevitably kill many people, and the Queen can tolerate this? Shouldn't no one in the royal family find the problem?"

"It's not that I didn't find out"

Ekaterina paused for a moment.

Her tone was calm and cold, "It's just that power has a fatal temptation for many people. Compared with the temptation of the throne, the death of millions of civilians is not worth mentioning. My teacher said that it was just a greed Just an old lady of power."

Su Lun frowned slightly.

At this moment, he didn't have any affection for the decadent Bona royal family.

He pondered for a moment, and then asked: "What do you think of the Red Death?"

Hearing this question, Ekaterina thought for a while, and then said seriously: "A giant tree has rotted from its roots to its branches. If it continues, it will inevitably collapse and die. But now I have the opportunity to cut off a branch. , to give it a chance to come back to life, what would you do? Of course, the process would hurt some innocent good wood."

Without waiting for Su Lun to answer, she said directly: "I will cut it off without hesitation."

The voice is soft, but loud.

"oh."

Inexplicably, Su Lun heard an aura of disdain for the world from her words.

This is a talented woman.

In the next sentence, Ekaterina completely explained all Su Lun's doubts.

"It's also a political gamble. In the end, the winner takes all," she said.

this moment.

Su Lun finally understood what was going on with Lu Ying's weird political situation.

The Red Death is rampant, and it's not that the top dignitaries are ignorant of the threat of external gods, but they have their own ghosts.

After all, it is for profit.

When the Red Death was discovered before, the evil god had penetrated widely and could not be reversed.

In Master Pierre's original words, the only way to kill the grass is to wait for him to be fully exposed.

Now that there is bound to be a big turmoil, what the major families want is not only to protect themselves, but also to strive for more benefits after the political situation is reshuffled.

At the beginning, everyone probably wanted to make a profit, but gradually, they probably didn't expect that this "Priority of Giants" had a huge conspiracy. For example, the Rodriguez family completely became believers of evil gods.

And like the other members of Congress, the Raphael family, the Lance family, and the Roberts family, they formed a group and became political allies.

As for [Scarlet Potion], they couldn't stop it, and they didn't want to stop it to some extent.

This potion divides the political camp.

Those who drink the potion will become minions of the evil god.

Just make sure that people in your own camp don't drink.

When the evil god's conspiracy breaks out, there is a high probability that the political opponents will become followers of the evil god, and it will inevitably be a life-and-death battle.

The final outcome is that either the opposition will kill all the supporters of the belief, or the believers will kill the opposition.

Winner takes all.

In any case, the political situation in Luying has undergone a drastic change.

Only then did Su Lun realize that his fiancée had great ambitions!
