Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 16 Old Lington

"It turns out that I didn't get shot by these guys. It was because they recognized the origin of the musket."

Su Lun was a little fortunate that death passed by once again.

After more than an hour of interrogation, he gave the last survivor of the "Silver Hand Hunting Group" a happy ending.

It was only then that he understood that the reason these guys didn't do anything before was because of the rune musket attached to his waist - the famous gun [Three-Headed Ghost].

It was the gun of the "Iron Head" Ivan of the Crow Gang, which could carry the energy fluctuations of the special alchemy bullet of Dawei Neng.

It turned out that the bald guy was still famous in the city called 'Old Lington'. He was a veteran killer in the Crow Gang.

When those guys saw Su Lun alone, they wanted to make money and kill him. But I couldn't figure out the relationship between him and the bald Ivan, so I tried it out.

Sure enough, people are not rich without windfall.

Su Lun got the supplies as he wished, ten more storage rings, and enough water and food.

He didn't know what the basic prices were in this world, but seeing that the number of alchemy bullets on the eight corpses was not too many, he guessed that the price he paid was probably not small.

However, there is definitely a profit.

The two most valuable things were stripped from that "Silver Manipulator" Dick's body.

A strange blood vessel and a bone.

[Curse: Blood Vessels of the Trembling Witch]

Quality: black iron

Detailed explanation: The inaugural materials for the 'Gunnery' of the Warlock Mechanical Department; The curse feature is relatively well preserved, but needs to be re-enchanted for best use;

Evaluation: Physical fit is 61%, mediocre employment materials.

【Golden humerus】

Detailed explanation: The first-order alchemy farming equipment, the gunner's occupation has a high degree of fit; it can replace part of the host's bones; toughness +6, stability +153%, bone sturdiness +175%;

Two cursed items with intact properties.

In the words of Raun, these two things, each of which can sell for at least 100,000 lisos on the black market.

And the average mechanic in this world earns no more than 3,000 lisos per month.

This is already a huge sum of money that makes people rich overnight.

Su Lun is also very grateful for his judgment, and killed this "Silver Manipulator" Dick at the first time.

Formal "professionals," in Lawn's words, are strong.

This Dick's two robotic arms are refitted and the direction is the gunner. He replaced both arms with firearms and artillery prosthetics, and if given a chance, he would definitely be a humanoid Gatling.

The flexibility of this "prosthetic limb" and the exoskeleton are completely two levels.

Even if the brain is controlled by the mind, his mechanical arm will automatically activate the counterattack device, which is the ability attached to the clone.

And machinery is not within the scope of mind control at all.

As long as Su Lun hesitated a little before, when the automatic counterattack device of the mechanical arm was activated, he would definitely die.

A few days later, Su Lun followed the route on the map, and finally arrived at the city called "Old Lington" after encountering monsters a few times and almost hiccups.

This was also learned from the mouth of that Raun, the only place where humans gather.

A dungeon.

"It's really spectacular."

Although Su Lun had heard about the high wall of "Old Lington", he was still shocked when he saw the dam-like concrete wall with a height of 100 meters.

A city that is not inferior to the main urban area of ​​the provincial capital city of the previous life is actually completely surrounded by such a high wall. This amount of work alone is an architectural marvel.

Moreover, there are still many scary traces on the high wall, scratches of giant beasts, craters like meteorites, and corrosion marks caused by spells.

It's hard to imagine what kind of fierce battle took place back then, and what kind of "existence" left so many terrifying battle marks on this wall.

Yes, the city is also an ancient ruin.

Long before these humans appeared here, it has been standing here silently for thousands of years.

The Eye of Omniscience confirmed this statement.

Su Lun glanced at the high wall, and a string of words was revealed.

【City Wall】

Detailed explanation: An ancient city wall built for more than 1,400 years;

There are four huge city gates in the east, west and northwest of Old Lingdun.

If Su Lun didn't know the situation of this "Old Lington" in advance, he might go in through the main entrance stupidly.

Because that is also the only channel that seems to be able to enter this kind of city.

If so, then he will be checked at the city gate. And he has no "legal status" and will immediately be reviewed separately. The worst result is that the identity of the original owner is exposed, and Su Lun will face the assassination again.

As for beyond the walls? No one would choose to live outside the city for a long time, except to go out hunting.

Because you can't!

It's like being in the nuclear radiation area for a long time, even if you don't encounter monsters, the manic and rich dark spiritual power will cause people to have a high probability of "distortion".

The most common monsters outside the city walls are the distorted humans wandering around.

But in fact, there is another way to enter the city, that is "gang smuggling".

Su Lun learned a lot of useful information from that Lawn's mouth.

Old Lington is divided into inner city and outer city.

The inner city is the gathering place of the rich and the elite, and the outer city is the civilian area.

Although the entire Old Lington is managed by the Grand Duke Roberto who controls the "Black Tower" and the Raphael family behind him, in fact, most of the outer city's actual control is in the hands of the three major gangs.

There are three major gangs in the outer city, the "Steam Brotherhood" in the DC District, the "Iron Cross Society" in the South City District and the "Crow Gang" in the XC District.

They also represent the three main branches of alchemy in this world: the mechanical faction, the fusion faction and the ancient magic faction.

The essence of alchemy is "equivalent exchange of materials", and the "ancient spell faction" has the ability to cast various spells like a magician. They specialize in potion refining, enchanting, and the occult.

Although they can cast spells, they do not believe in any elemental gods. The spells are not driven by magic laws, but pure fusion of energy and elements. Alchemy laws are used to exchange and change the form of elements, or Change the properties of elements.

For example, when alchemists stand on the ground, they will use alchemy to convert the form of earth elements to form [earth thorns]; they can also use more energy to exchange earth elements for fire elements, and release [fire balls]. ];

The "mechanical faction" is also called the new faction.

Their alchemy research and development direction is more used to manufacture mechanical equipment, firearms, mechas, steam equipment. There are also mechanical spell prints!

The "mechanical prosthesis" that had puzzled Su Lun before was essentially a semi-technical product based on alchemy, rather than pure technology.

The "fusion faction" is a combination of the two factions. There are mechanics who are good at mechanical transformation, and there are ancient sorcerers who study spells.

Su Lun can't use the identity of the original owner, then he has no legal identity to enter the city.

You can only choose to join the three major gangs and sneak in.

The bald Ivan that was killed before is a big celebrity of the "Crow Gang", and that "Silver Manipulator" Dick is a "Steam Brotherhood". While no one knew it was Su Lun who killed these people, he thought it better to be careful.

In particular, there are still some trophies in his hand that need to be shot, and he doesn't want to get into trouble for this. It's like the famous gun [Three-headed Ghost] who was recognized by the bald Ivan before, and was almost killed for money.

"It seems that I only have to join the 'Iron Cross Society'"

Su Lun avoided the city gate and went around under a section of the wall in the southern city.

Looking up, on the city wall there, someone has placed a simple iron cage elevator to take people into the city.

Su Lun had no choice and wanted to enter the city, which was the only way.

Without hesitation, he walked over.

The benefits of joining the gang are good, and there are enough extraordinary resources

But in fact, most people in Old Lington would rather be workers for life than join a gang.

Because of the extremely high casualty rate and short life span of gang members.

They replaced the city security department, and they also dealt with aberrations, violent conflicts, and hunting missions in the area that involved fighting, and the casualty rate was very high.

It's a bit like Su Lun's previous life as a mercenary who took money to fight for his life on the battlefield.

The management of chaotic slums is also the most important reason why the "Black Tower" in the inner city acquiesced in the existence of the three major gangs.
