Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 304 [Shizuo] and [Kappa]

However, this monster is very fast in the water, and its sharp claws can also break through armor, and can easily pierce the hull of a wooden sea ship. Even though the pirates responded quickly, two of the four ships were pierced in a very short period of time. The other two hulls were also more or less damaged and were slowly sinking.

Su Lun has roughly seen some of the roots of this [Shizuo].

But he actually has no right to rule over the various forces in the North Sea, especially the four countries of Beizhou.

This also made Su Lun confirm the previous guess that the monsters are wise and must also have spirituality.

The four boats were in chaos.

Hanz also sneered: "This goddamn mirage, what a monster! The fleet is moving normally!"

Before Su Lun came, he had carefully read the introductions of many monsters. Looking at the scene of the spontaneous combustion of the human body, he also analyzed the reason: "Is it a method similar to parasitic fire? It should be spread by using people's fear to make the human body's own energy chaotic to fuel the combustion. So it burns out in a short time. But how did the fire go from being a 'mirage' to being a real thing?"

This is also what Oleg is testing.

With this cognitive basis, many mystical imaginations can see the essence through phenomena.

The appearance of fear is very like a fool who has not been added to the world.

With that level of energy fluctuation, it was far from burning Su Lun to death.

As a veteran pirate, he naturally guessed some of the roots of this fire.

"."

"Ha ha."

But now that Oleg has suddenly become a "king", the situation has changed somewhat.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the sea of ​​fire was reflected in the waves.

Someone was taken aback and scolded: "Duden, what the hell are you screaming about?"

Most of the pirates in the dispute just now didn't take it seriously. After all, the legend of monsters in Shanyin Kingdom has been circulating for a long time, but not many people have actually seen it. Most of them are based on falsehoods.

But for Su Lun, it's normal operation.

But as soon as these words came out, he saw that Duden showed a terrifying expression with a split canthus, stretched out his hand and pinched his neck, looking extremely painful, and was speechless.

At the moment he was anxiously discouraging a bearded man in a captain's suit.

It seemed that something was really going on, but "Teabeard" Hanz didn't care, and sent some people to check the situation first in the assault boat.

"What is that?!"

After a long while, "Teabeard" Hanz finally reacted and shouted, "Don't panic! These monsters are similar to ghosts. As long as you control your fear, they can't help us!"

Monsters are no different from other creatures, and they also have to follow the "law of conservation of energy".

It is roughly equivalent to the gift of the kingdom of the upper state to the vassal territory, and the gift of the king to the small lord of the territory.

"what"

There is a general way to deal with existences such as ghosts, grievances, and ghosts. Then control the fear, and the influence of the other party will be minimized.

At this moment, there is no turbulence in his heart

The crew members didn't take it seriously, and looked at the sea of ​​fire in front of them with a smile and pointed.

"Teabeard" Hanz walked over and shouted angrily: "Hey, what's wrong with you kid?"

On the panicked deck, some people put out fires, some people fetch water, some people fire guns, and some people wear armor in a panic.

But Su Lun in the distance frowned slightly.

Su Lun followed the team, looking at the blue mountains with deep eyes.

The cold wind is howling, and the temperature at night is extremely low, making it unrealistic to camp on the spot.

"."

However, just as the words were spoken, the bad news struck again.

Now without the boat, they can't walk by water, they can only walk.

In layman's terms, this guy's strength has skyrocketed and he is "floating".

At this time, I heard a slight dispute on the deck.

He was also interested in seeing what a monster was.

Jiuxiu was still on the bow, with a face of fear and rambled prayers.

But after receiving the order, they could only proceed as originally planned.

"Captain Hanz, this sea area is the outlet of Feiyi River, and there are monsters. It is not allowed to enter the sea with defecation, otherwise there may be big trouble. We have to sacrifice animals quickly."

He had read in the classics "Do not know the fire", one of the hundred ghosts in the legend of Shanyin Kingdom. The usual explanation is that the mortals offended the gods, and the nameless anger that descended.

And this seems to be just the beginning.

The fleet continued onward, and then broke into the mirage-like sea of ​​fire.

Su Lun guessed that something would go wrong and didn't get off the cabin. Naturally, he also saw the fluttering flames, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Su Lun has seen descriptions of "yokai" from various ghosts and ghosts of the Mountain Hidden Kingdom, but he has never seen it before.

The fleet was still a few nautical miles away from docking, and looking around, he could already see a vague mountain shadow in the distance.

Hearing this, Qi Qi on the deck breathed a sigh of relief.

He stroked the black crow lightly and fed two drops of liquefied undead energy, but his eyes looked through the cannon muzzle to the sea outside.

Even if he didn't see the blueprint, Su Lun closed his eyes, and the contents of the various blueprints he wrote down densely appeared in his mind. First deduce various possibilities in your mind, and then record them in the notebook. Occasionally, when no one is there, I take out the half-finished silver arm to try some new ideas, and my life is very leisurely.

"Gah~"

Four sea ships with nearly a thousand pirates, and no one understood what was going on. They could only watch helplessly as the people around them suddenly burst into flames, and then burned into a scorched mass.

It is not surprising that small animals such as monkeys, parrots, and hamsters are kept on pirate ships. In addition to passing the loneliness of sailing, it is also used as an early warning. Animals are often more sensitive than humans. Such as severe weather and certain dangerous sea monsters.

This guy had previously obtained the advanced potion that Oleg gave to the colony, and successfully advanced to the fifth order. In the past two days, he has been showing off his newly realized spatial displacement ability everywhere on the ship.

Because he knew very well that the monster couldn't help him.

The Ninth Fleet where Su Lun was with not only brought artillery, but also a lot of property.

Yongxiu was still persuading, but Hanz had an impatient look on his face: "Okay, alright, stop talking nonsense! If there is a monster, I just picked it up and took a look. I haven't eaten monster meat yet."

Seeing this "tax collection" move, Su Lun guessed that Oleg probably wanted to start declaring sovereignty and taste the taste of a real lord.

It was the first time that Su Lun saw [Shiranui], and it was considered to have seen the monsters of the Mountain Hidden Country.

"Tsk tsk, that guy is already frightened."

Power is far less important to pirates than wealth, and everyone was at peace before. After all, pirates also need soil to survive, and no matter how strong a tree is, it cannot destroy the ground for its growth. Many pirates recruited by the North Sea Fleet are also citizens of the four countries.

After the death, most people realized that the pioneering task this time was not so easy.

As soon as these words fell, the hull suddenly trembled violently, and there were even signs of capsizing. If you look into the sea, you can also see black shadows flashing quickly.

So have been very vigilant.

"Yes, Captain!"

Everyone turned their heads to see where a guy on the deck was standing with a dull gaze.

In the eyes of alchemists, all events can be explained as the phenomenon of energy fluctuations. Even if you haven't seen the types of creatures, like the "spontaneous fire" in front of you, it's just a different way of releasing energy and a different way of expressing it.

After a while, the communicator came back: "Captain, those flames are just illusions, not real."

Su Lun made an excuse to spend all his money in the Golden City, and spent the past few days in a daze in the cabin, not messing with the pirates in the artillery cabin.

However, these spirits are strange and feel completely different from the human soul. It's cold, weird, and has a kind of ethereal feeling, like the feeling of the will of the gods that Su Lun has seen twice.

No matter how much tax you collect, you will give more gifts.

This vanguard fleet has a total of four squadrons and four ships. The pirates who heard the movement all ran to the deck to see what the legendary "monster" looked like.

In the crowd, Su Lun was leaning on the fence, holding a black umbrella bound by cloth strips in his hand, and muttered in his mouth like fine lines: "It really is a spirit body. It is said that [I don't know fire] will burn unclean things, How will it burn?"

"Captain, I saw it! Sea monsters like water monkeys. That thing is so powerful, they want to sink our boat!"

Everyone was relieved, thinking that this was really a "mirage".

The eyesight of the Omniscient Eye allowed him to see the flame very clearly. It was very strange. Even though there was nothing around, the flame was floating on the sea. It was said to be a ghost fire, but the color was a normal orange-red.

The invisible enemy will only arouse fear in people's hearts.

A scream rang out suddenly.

Once the four countries pay the tax, it is to recognize the status of the vassal territory, and Oleg is the real king of the North Sea.

Fear accelerates the chaos of human energy, and a little spark will ignite.

In fact, it is digesting the knowledge of [Neuro-Mechanical Blueprint].

"what!"

Su Lun thought of something, got up and walked out of the artillery cabin.

Su Lun shrugged and rubbed his eyes sleepily, "Yeah, go to the deck to get some air."

[Kappa] is a monster of the physics department, and it also has entities. It is easy to deal with a lot of them, and the firearms can have good killing.

At least the hundreds of ghosts recorded in "Fairy Story" he watched, many of them had "supernatural abilities". Now it is certain that it can be perceived by the soul, and if it is encountered, the degree of danger will be greatly reduced.

"It's not just a mirage, I really think it's a monster. It seems that the legends of Shanyin Kingdom are not necessarily true."

The latter relationship will continue to be close, and in a few years, Oleg will be able to completely control this sea area.

The atmosphere of fear that had calmed down a little, became tense again.

this day.

It takes several days to travel from Pirate City to Shanyin Country. There are a large number of islands in that sea area, which are also called Tallinn Islands on Lu Ying's sea map.

If not, when the four ships sailed into this sea of ​​fire, everyone was still laughing at the ignorance of this guide.

Just when Su Lun was "sleeping" in the cabin as usual, the black crow beside him suddenly called out.

The spiritual pressure was getting stronger and stronger, and he knew that there was going to be a big commotion.

Some 1800-pound big fish are incredible monsters to ordinary fishermen who have never seen the world. But for high-level professionals, it is usually a ration to kill with one punch. Hanz is now a fifth-order professional, and it is true that most of the sea monsters can't do anything to him, and it is not completely floating to say this.

Therefore, the purpose of collecting taxes this time is not actually to plunder wealth.

"what"

One, one, another.

A group of pirates followed the guide and entered the mountain.

If you look closely, you can see the illusion of some building ships burning again.

He just wanted to reach out and pat Duden's shoulder, but at this moment, Duden's skin quickly browned and then turned black. Looking at it again, the whole person is like a candle, and a raging fire is lit. Immediately, there was a strong smell of meat in the air.

The people in the bottom warehouse sent the news through the communicator: "Captain, it's not good, something is digging our ship!"

(End of this chapter)

Fear spread quickly, and there was a howling on the huge deck. It didn't take long for the frightened pirate monsters to scream continuously, and the entire fleet fell into chaos in an instant.

In perception, some special spiritual bodies appeared in this sea of ​​fire.

Hearing this, all the pirates laughed.

Fortunately, the guide Song Yongxiu was familiar with the road here and knew that there was a village not far away.

He ignored it and stepped onto the deck.

Su Lun's ears moved slightly and his eyes suddenly opened.

Jiu Xiu recognized what seemed to be something, pointed at the sea with a look of fear, and said, "That's [Shizuo]!"

Su Lun listened to the words in his ear, but did not speak.

"King of the North Sea" Oleg is indeed the strongest pirate in the North Sea, and the fleet under his command also has the strength to crush almost any force in the North Sea.

"It's just people from the countryside who haven't seen the world. It's like we've been floating on the sea all the year round, and we've seen everything."

There are a large number of remnants of gods in the four countries of Beizhou, and they have their own gods and beliefs. Just like the Mountain Hidden Kingdom, their lord and monarchy have been granted divine authority for countless years. Now suddenly let outsiders want to be lords, which is not so easy to accept for a while.

Su Lun recently learned a lot about the customs of Shikoku, and knew that this tax trip might not be too smooth.

He seemed to be mad with fright, and his mouth kept shattering: "The immortals said that when you encounter a monster, you must be in awe. Sincerely pray, the monster will forgive you."

Su Lun was not surprised to hear the word, and the identified name was also the same.

In just a few seconds, everyone looked at a living person, and a pool of soot was burned in front of them.

Now that he is familiar with this black crow, Su Lun can understand some of its thoughts more accurately.

Su Lun didn't panic at all.

Along with the other gunners, he also put on the individual artillery that had been issued before and shot at the fast-swimming figure under the sea.

"Damn it, Stoya, take the water ghost team down! Musketeers, gunners, shoot into the water!"

In the darkness, there are a pair of calm eyes watching all this indifferently.

Su Lun is the gunner, no matter if he goes into the water or Yang Fan, it is not his turn.

The fifth day of the voyage.

Because the inflow must be entered from the mouth of the river, there is no option to take a detour, and the fleet will continue to move forward.

The black crow will issue an early warning, which means that there is really something going on in the vicinity.

It was like breaking into a light and shadow, without any danger.

"what"

"Hey, I said Yongxiu, didn't I just pull a piece of shit into the sea, what's the big deal? Monsters? Hehe, just some strange sea beasts, don't make such a fuss. I have been at sea for so many years, and I have seen deep sea monsters. Well, are you still afraid of some little demons?"

At the door, Sharp and a few gunners were playing cards. Seeing that Su Lun rarely came out of the warehouse, he smiled and said, "Brother Jonny, did you wake up today?"

At this moment, dozens of people have been burned to death on the four boats.

Su Lun also fell into the water, and the cold sea water was densely packed with human heads. He mingled with the crowd and swam to shore quietly.

"Master Hands, that's also a monster, it's a [Kappa]!"

Seeing this strange scene, everyone realized that something was wrong.

The thin man in sackcloth was the guide this time, his name was Song Yongxiu, a native of Shanyin.

"."

The sun had just set, and there was a light mist on the sea.

Su Lun sensed spatial fluctuations more than once.

Even before it was too late to cast any dispelling and healing spells, the fresh confession of fate would be taken away by that [Shizuo].

Because he was always on the lookout for a situation, Su Lun also took the suicidal bird with him whenever he was psychic.

"Did something appear at sea?"

Only Song Yongxiu was still prostrate on the bow, trembling and praying.

Fortunately, it is not far from the shore here, and the pirates who fell into the water can still swim to the shore.

If you look closely, you will find that the spontaneous combustion is all first-order pirates, and they are the ones with very weak soul fire.

However, this process is not easy.

The atmosphere is very solemn.

Those flames were burning around me, but they didn't feel the slightest heat. They reached out and touched them, and they passed through.

Sudden!

The observer on the mast noticed the abnormality and shouted: "Captain, there seems to be a fire on the sea at ten o'clock!"

The beard is naturally Su Lun's current squad leader "Tea Beard" Hands.

Rao is "Teabeard" Hanz has fifth-order strength, and there are many third-order and fourth-order professionals around them, and they are completely helpless.

The beep warns of danger, but not too deadly.

At this moment, suddenly, a red light like an orange light lit up on the sea.

By the pier, two or three hundred people died before the four squadrons of pirates landed.

Compared with any territory of Lu Ying, the four kingdoms of Beizhou are the words of poverty and desolation. It is better to rob merchant ships than to levy taxes.

"."

Under normal circumstances, the weaker the strength, the more fearful of the unknown, and the greater the impact.

Fortunately, with the military communicator provided by Marfa, several squad leaders reported the situation to the Ninth Fleet Captain "Gluttony Admiral" Peon, but the response was, move on!

If the collection goes well, you will receive some money and some gifts; if it is not smooth, you will be deterred by force.

This method is not difficult to say, but it is easy to say it is not easy.

At the same time, the same burning incident started to occur on the other three ships, with screams one after another.

This is also good news.

There were panic footsteps everywhere on the deck.

For a while, no one spoke on the deck, and the needle could be heard falling.

Now, watching a group of fires of unknown origin suddenly appear on the sea, everyone on the deck also looked at the flames in the distance with curiosity.

It is difficult for ordinary people to control their emotions, especially in the process of fear of mass transmission.

In this moment, more and more flames floated on the sea surface.

The days of sailing are very boring, as long as there is no bad weather, the job of the pirates is to play cards, fish, and brag.
