Mechanical Alchemist

Yekaterina has now inherited the identity of "Shadow Lord" from her teacher, Master Pierre, and has become the "second generation" of the king of the underground gangsters in Lingdun.

When she was on her honeymoon trip in the early morning, she had ordered the Lingdon gang to distribute the special medicine for the Red Death secretly made by the Lance family.

It was when Su Lun and Ekaterina parted ways in the southern suburbs, at the same time, in a luxurious manor in a rich area north of the Roccovalen River.

Dozens of distressed pharmacists and nobles gathered together.

These people are discussing how to deal with the collapsing pharmaceutical market.

When they woke up today, they found that the sky had changed.

It is not known who in Lingdun City is distributing the medicine to treat the Red Death for free.

It was just a joke at first.

Because virus experts have already said that at least in the next few years, it is impossible to develop new specific drugs.

But I don't want to, after investigating, it really is!

Someone distributed hundreds of thousands of potions through gang channels, and the spread of the Red Death was curbed instantly.

This didn't frighten the pharmacist who had a huge stockpile.

Because once the special new medicine came out, the [Scarlet Potion] in their hands would be worthless.

The pharmacy merchants and the nobles behind them got busy.

From morning to night, they used various policy methods and public opinion slander methods to block and suppress the new special medicine everywhere.

But because the bulk cargo was arranged by the big gangsters in Lingdun, those people were originally the bottom people who were most affected by the Red Death, and they were best at smuggling crimes.

So that the interception effect is not good.

"Damn it, what's going on here? Who released so many potions!"

"Those potions were distributed through gangster channels. I asked the police station to arrange an investigation, but the clues I found were all fake or decapitated clues. At present, no one is sure who is behind the scenes. .”

"What do you think that guy is going to do? Even if there is a special medicine, you can at least give it a price, and everyone can make money. Giving it to those poor ghosts for free, isn't this letting us throw all the [Scarlet Potion] in our hands? "

"Hmph! If we really want us to investigate, no matter who it is, we will definitely make him disappear in Luying!"

"."

Throughout the day, there was bad news.

This group of aristocrats and elders were all furious, and they were afraid that they would suffer heavy losses this time.

No!

It's nothing!

Tens of thousands of [Scarlet Elixir] were sold yesterday, and now they can't be sold for a liso!

They give it away for free, how can you compare?

The only chance they can think of to make a comeback is to find out the source and completely wipe it out.

Then, according to the original plan, let the Red Death spread again, causing a wider range of infections, and the entire Lu Ying could even be poisoned to kill Mafa.

In this way, the medicine in their hands will still have huge profits.

But these people have been studying for a whole day, but they still don't understand why the person who spread the potion behind the scenes would do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit themselves?

This move has offended the entire upper class of Lu Ying, what is the purpose?

No one can bear the consequences of this kind of behavior that directly smashed the pot and made everyone unable to eat!

Even the royal family!

Everyone was still discussing, when suddenly they heard the sound of guns outside the mansion getting louder and louder.

I heard sporadic movements more than ten minutes ago, but now it has not stopped.

Finally, they too realized that something seemed wrong.

The owner of the mansion, the Marquis Edward, asked, "What's going on with the gunfire in the south city? Have you figured it out?"

As soon as these words were said, a servant rushed in and reported with a horrified expression: "It's not good, master! Something serious happened!"

Everyone looked over in unison.

The servant was out of breath and said: "There is an urgent message from the South City, and there are countless monsters with distortions in the city! And there are also warnings from the police station and the Military Intelligence Department, let us be careful. It seems... like those The appearance of the monster is related to our [Scarlet Potion]!"

"What?!"

"The distortion incident? Didn't the police station and the military intelligence department deal with it?"

"What does that have to do with our potion?"

"."

With that said, everyone's face changed slightly.

But at the first moment, they didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and started talking about it.

But suddenly, a mysterious summoning will came without warning.

When everyone didn't realize what happened, several of the dozens of people in the room had blood vessels protruding from their faces, and their expressions became ferocious. It seemed that there were scarlet worms crawling around under their skin, and these people also let out low-pitched roars like beasts, showing signs of distortion.

"Baron Baron, what's wrong with your eyes? There seems to be bugs in your eyes!"

"Viscount House, your face is ugly. Are you feeling unwell? Oh, my God, don't scare me."

"."

These noble gentlemen have not yet realized what happened in front of them.

Those deformed people suddenly rushed towards the crowd, biting.

The blood stained the front of his clothes, resembling a terrifying picture of a wild beast rushing towards its prey.

When someone died, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Damn it! Guard! Guard!"

In an instant, the entire mansion was in chaos.

Not only these noble lords, but also some of the guards and servants outside were deformed one after another.

There were sounds of fighting everywhere.

People who were bitten were soon infected, and quickly deformed into monsters.

But after a moment of panic, the guards reacted quickly and killed the deformed person.

The blood soaked the luxurious carpet in the hall, and the bugs were still alive in the blood.

But before they had time to breathe a sigh of relief, they watched those monsters with smashed heads slowly merge into a distorted fusion form with multiple limbs.

"No, these monsters can't be killed!"

Seeing this weird scene, while being terrified, these people immediately thought of the "Queen Roderica cruise ship incident" in which thousands of people disappeared in the newspaper more than a month ago!

The reports at that time were both reported by the "Lingdon Daily" and "Queen's Metropolis Daily". One said it was sacrificed by a cult, and the other said it was a storm accident.

The attitude of the Lu Ying royal family is also very confused, and the results of the investigation have not yet come out.

But seeing the scene in front of them, everyone understood who was lying!

Thinking again that the people who were deformed just now were all people who drank the [Scarlet Potion], this group of greedy potion merchants knew that disaster was imminent.

Senator Lance's previous warning was correct!

There is a big problem with this potion!

All of a sudden, gunfire rang out everywhere.

These unkillable zombie aberrations, like a tsunami, swept across the entire Lingdun at a terrifying speed.

After all, he had experienced it himself, and it wasn't too strange for Su Lun to hear the sound of guns and guns in the city of Lingdon.

But looking at the gunfire that lit up all over the city, his expression also shone with dignity.

That kind of zombie aberration infected by the parasite of the outer god is very difficult for ordinary people to kill.

Either clean up the corpse, or kill those parasites domineeringly.

Otherwise, they will converge into even more terrifying multi-faced monsters, whose strength will snowball and become stronger and stronger.

However, among the 30 million people in Lingdun, there are not many professionals who can be domineering, and most of them are concentrated in wealthy areas.

However, the rich area was heavily infiltrated by the Giant Hermit Society.

Zombies after ordinary people are infected are not a big problem, but if professionals are really infected, their ability to re-infect is terrifying.

Those potential high-level professional believers are the "big thunder".

And the situation in Nancheng is not good. Most of the civilian areas are ordinary people and low-level professionals. Once a zombie wave breaks out in such a high-density residential area, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In short.

Needless to say, the situation tonight will be very bad.

Many people will die.

Su Lun always receives intelligence from the Mirror organization through the communicator, and knows that the current situation in Lingdon is really bad.

Because the two families of Rodriguez and Ernest belong to the camp of the Outer Gods, the two members of Congress have planned for a long time, and the followers of the evil gods have spread all over the key departments.

Immediately after the disaster occurred, almost all official departments capable of handling emergencies were completely paralyzed, including the police station, city defense, security team, emergency response office, and secret service.

There are also some combat departments such as the military and the Military Intelligence Department, which also broke out fierce firefights.

This is just the beginning.

Now the Outer God has not shown up, and the big change is yet to come.

What happened tonight was deep, and before the situation became clear, Su Lun was not in a hurry to go to the city to join the battle.

He walked towards the city.

As he was walking, he suddenly thought of something and took out a three-pointed black light crown.

This is the [Desecrated Crown] obtained by killing William.

I didn't have time to take a closer look before, but now I just took it out to have a look.

When Su Lun held it in his hand, it felt like iron but not iron, as if he was holding a highly condensed mixture law item, and his whole senses became clear in an instant.

"Huh"

He let out a sigh in his heart.

Just holding the crown in his hand, it seems that the world in his eyes is different.

Earth, wind, water, fire, light, and darkness are obvious, and the perception of various law elements is several times more real.

But at the same time, with the crown in his hand, that feeling of being drawn out also hit his heart.

Su Lun muttered again: "What a powerful curse effect."

Because he had a [Shroud of the Iceman of Oz] in his hand, he was all too familiar with this feeling.

Looking at the property panel, it turns out that the data representing the lifespan is being consumed at an accelerated rate.

It is much better than the shroud, which is about 1:10.

Wearing it for one day consumes ten days of life.

But this is the most basic consumption.

If you continue to actively inject spiritual power, the feeling of understanding the law will be clearer, but the lifespan will be consumed faster.

Su Lun thought that William had gray hair before, and he probably spent a lot of life in exchange for accelerated comprehension, so he advanced to the seventh level.

Of course, in addition to lifespan decay, the crown also has a distorting effect on mental power.

But for the already deformed Su Lun, this negative mental impact was completely ignored.

Holding the thing in his hand, he thought about it, wiped a little blood on it, and put it on his head.

Then, the whole head seemed to be immersed in ice water all the time, and the previous feeling of "seeing everything" became much clearer in an instant.

It seems to have seen the rules of the laws of nature.

Some feelings that I thought were completely illusory before, are now extremely clear, as if they can be grasped at any time.

Su Lun's eyes immediately brightened: "What a powerful effect!"

With this thing, he inexplicably has confidence in his heart, and he will definitely be able to comprehend the seventh level of advancement in the field.

In the end, it depends on how much life is consumed.

He casually pinched the seal of the warlock and released a fifth-order [Fire Python Art] technique.

After observing, Su Lun found that the ability to control the elements brought by the crown made the power of the technique half a level higher than what he had mastered before.

Moreover, looking at the improvement of skill awareness is also abnormal.

Although people can't perceive the difference, there are detailed changes on the data panel.

Su Lun released a few more alchemy techniques, and confirmed that it was the buff brought by the crown.

Using data as an analogy, I used to put a skill proficiency "+1", but now I put a skill proficiency "+3" and "+4".

It is several times the income of perception.

Seeing this, Su Lun was deeply moved: "This blasphemy crown is really a god's help to comprehend various laws and skills."

However, wearing it for one year basically consumes ten years of life.

Most people will be stuck on the threshold of the seventh step for a lifetime.

And having this crown just means the probability of improving the comprehension field, but it is not certain.

Su Lun only prayed, hoping that he could realize his own field sooner.

Su Lun couldn't put it down a little bit, and he didn't plan to take off the crown after putting it on.

This clear-headed feeling made his brain feel very happy.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of the crown as an advanced material, which seemed to require domineering.

He just tried it casually, domineering lingering around his body.

In an instant, there was a light hey.

He actually found that the feeling of lifespan decay has been relieved?

Looking at the data, it is probably less than half of what it was before.

With this new discovery, Su Lun's eyes were radiant, and he thought: "The dominance of the dominant species can also suppress part of the curse of the crown and reduce the consumption of life span?"

This is good news.

It also means that he can consume less lifespan to comprehend the domain.

But after thinking about it, it's not surprising.

There are very few professionals who can comprehend the "dominant kind of domineering".

Usually some high-ranking generals, emperors and other commanding professionals must have a dominant aura.

After all, Regadi used to belong to the Marfa royal family, and this crown was originally worn by the emperor and his heirs. It is reasonable to have this hidden condition.

Putting on the crown, it seemed that his thoughts became clearer.

As Su Lun walked all the way from the southern suburbs, he could already see buildings one after another.

At this moment, the battle in Lingdun City was already very fierce, and explosions everywhere in the city dyed half the sky red.

His night vision ability is excellent, jumping on the roof of a building, he can have a panoramic view of the Queens District of Nancheng.

In the sky, small airships of the military were floating around the city, using loudspeakers to shout at the residents of the city.

"Stay at home as much as possible and keep your doors closed!"

"Monsters will be resurrected when killed, don't kill them if you can, please try to avoid them!"

"Everyone, don't gather in crowded places!"

"."

These notes are played on loop on the radio.

It has not been half an hour since the catastrophe happened, and the one who can react so quickly to tell the whole city about the monster's characteristics must be the opposition alliance jointly formed by Lance and Raphael.

The monsters on the street can't threaten the floating airship for the time being, but you will still see unidentified bazookas shooting out of the street and knocking down the airship. Then there was another fierce battle.

It is not only people and monsters who are at war, but also people and followers of outer gods.

Looking up at the sky, the moonlight also showed a strange blood-red color, shining on the mist that filled the city of Lingdun, as if covering the whole city with a layer of blood-colored gauze.

Su Lun appraised it, and it showed [moonlight with slight mental pollution].

The reddish moonlight in Lyndon was when the Red Death began to spread. Tonight's red is the most bewitching, and it also reveals the effect of pollution. It is not difficult to see that this is the means of that foreign god.

"Polluted the moon?"

Su Lun murmured something, inexplicably thinking of an acquaintance's method.

I asked about Mr. Hei's situation. The members of the Dawn Organization had already arrived, and they were trying their best to deal with the monsters.

There were screams one after another in the streets and alleys, and the streets were full of wandering zombies. In the hazy fog and shadow, many tall "hundred-faced monsters" and "thousand-faced monsters" can already be seen.

Su Lun planned to join Mr. Hei and the others.

Today's situation is not something that can be reversed by individual heroism. Only by gathering strength together can it be possible to protect ourselves and solve some problems at the same time.

At this moment when he was communicating, suddenly, hundreds of panicked civilians rushed out of the foggy street corner not far away.

This is Cobbler Street on Newman Avenue in Queens, one of the oldest urban areas and one of the most densely populated areas.

"Run away! The monster is chasing you!"

The crowd ran out in panic.

Behind them, a group of zombies chased after them.

Because it was a suburb, a monster attack suddenly broke out, and a large number of residents ran wildly on the street, looking like they wanted to escape from the city.

People in the crowd kept changing. Although several low-level professionals shot back at the monster, the monster was not killed, and its number was increasing, chasing closer and closer.

The unknown fear that people around them may be deformed at any time, people's eyes are full of panic and despair.

The crowd swarmed past, seeing someone standing "stupidly" on the street, a kind uncle anxiously pulled him away, and at the same time shouted anxiously: "Young man, don't be dazed, run! If a monster bites it, it will turn into a monster!"

Su Lun didn't leave.

The uncle didn't have time to say another sentence, so he could only run away anxiously and helplessly.

The crowd fled past him, but he still stood quietly.

Until a moment, a zombie rushed over with its teeth bared, Su Lun's eyes suddenly froze, his body was domineering, and he rushed towards the group of monsters.

Although what happened tonight cannot be reversed by any personal ability, he still intends to solve the immediate problem first.

Moreover, seeing those monsters, he was also going to confirm a conjecture.

These are all first-level aberration monsters. They are not a threat to high-level professionals, and they can be blown up with a single punch.

Su Lun rushed into the monster super water, like a god of killing, he could kill several monsters with one punch.

Those monsters smelled the breath of living people and swarmed.

There was no need for Su Lun to chase and kill them everywhere. In just a few encounters, he beat the monster group into a mess of limbs and rotten flesh.

Hundreds of zombies died cleanly.

Not far away, the out of breath crowd was stunned.

In the foggy streets, the strange movements became louder and louder, and it seemed that more monsters were pouring out. These people didn't dare to stay longer, and after thanking Su Lun repeatedly, they fled towards the suburbs in a panic.

Su Lun looked at the sporadic monsters chasing after him, and with a flash of inspiration in his mind, he swung the black scythe to kill them in two.

This kind of pure physical attack can't completely kill those monsters, so he didn't look at it any more, the spell froze, and he moved forward with one hand: "Void Blood Devour!"

In an instant, a spatial vortex formed, and a huge void suction sucked in the scarlet stumps of the surrounding monsters.

Not long after, the life essence was sucked dry, leaving a piece of impurity powder on the ground.

After digesting the life essence, Su Lun frowned slightly, as if he had discovered something unusual.

Just at the time of devouring, the three monsters cut by the black scythe not far away also fused and condensed into a zombie with three faces and six arms and stood up.

Su Lun raised his eyebrows, teleported over and punched.

He once again used [Blood Devour] ability to devour those stumps with red bugs.

In an instant, he was filled with energy and blood, and his face was slightly rosy.

After carefully distinguishing the changes in Qi, blood and strength data, he finally confirmed something, and said to himself with high spirits: "Sure enough, these evil god parasites are indeed at a very high level of life, far surpassing creatures of the same level. The multi-faced monster The life essence is also more than the life essence of a few zombies combined."

When he harvested the demon monk Las Lisboa before, he had this guess.

It is now determined.

Integrating [Isaac's Giant Power] is still a long way from reaching the threshold of strength attributes. He had accidentally obtained a few [Blood Refining Crystal Nucleus] before, which skyrocketed a lot.

After that, no crystal nucleus was found, and the improvement has been slow.

Su Lun estimated that he would absorb it slowly, and it would take at least a year and a half to meet the conditions.

But now, he saw a new way.

That is to absorb the outer god parasites in these aberration monsters.

Although the situation is unclear at present, it is inevitable that if he absorbs more monsters, the strength recovered by the Outer God will be reduced by one point!

And Su Lun also discovered just now that the perception effect of [Desecrated Crown] will be doubled during the battle.

No matter what stage a professional is in, fighting is the best shortcut for anything that requires comprehension.

Battle + crown = multiple shortcuts!

Right now is catastrophe, but also hidden opportunities.

Thinking of this, Su Lun immediately dialed Mr. Hei's communicator and asked, "Mr. Hei, do you know where the monsters are densest in the city now? I have an idea."

This is a very dangerous plan. Once the Outer God notices that someone is poaching his corner, he will definitely take care of it.

But at the same time, it may not be an opportunity.

Su Lun is not a weak chicken. To kill him, at least a professional of level seven or above is required.

And he is not alone, he cannot be killed even at the seventh level.

Once the eighth-level expert from the Priory of Giants came, or the Outer God came in person, there would naturally be top professionals like Master Pierre and Mr. Mirror to greet them.

The current situation is that the longer it drags on, the more people in Lingdun will be polluted, and the stronger the Outer God will be.

A decisive battle in advance may not be a good thing!

Opportunities and risks coexist.

If Su Lun can plunder enough blood energy from the Outer God from the fierce battle, it will not only weaken the enemy's strength, but also greatly shorten the time for him to integrate the conditions of the giant's growth outfit.

Even with the blessing of the crown, he may not be unable to feel the "big opportunity" in this kind of perilous battle!
