Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 360 Great Harvest

Su Lun really felt like he had found a treasure.

Tani is not only one of the best navigators in the pirate city, but his talent of "listening to the sounds of sea beasts" that he now shows has also helped the Dawn regiment a lot.

Otherwise, Su Lun would not have noticed it for a long time, and they had been targeted unknowingly.

The movements of mechanical octopuses in the sea are very secretive, because they have the soul fluctuations and some life characteristics of normal octopuses. Unless they see it with their own eyes, it is difficult for even perception professionals to distinguish them from ordinary octopuses. What's the difference.

With these advantages, they are easily overlooked in deep sea areas where marine life is dense.

But tracking is tracking,

Think for a moment,

Su Lun knew that these octopuses were not originally aimed at them, but most likely they were tracking the "Princess Frostmoon" Skadi.

Marfa married the King of the North Sea, and the pirates quickly grew. This pair of nobles in the North Sea Fleet looting circle was also greatly affected, and Archduke Raphael was the first to bear the brunt.

Therefore, if there is a chance, the person with the most motive to assassinate the princess, Archduke Raphael is definitely one of the first.

But now the assassin did not follow the "Princess", but turned to follow the Dawn Regiment. Su Lun also guessed that there is a high probability that the mechanical octopus appeared in the battle just now. There's that guy hiding in the water trying to figure out what's going on.

After all, the princess can find another chance to intercept.

But the unique technology of Archduke Raphael must not fall into the hands of outsiders!

Now that I know that I am being followed, I naturally want to find people out.

Moreover, in the case of the Dawn, it was impossible to get rid of it.

"It's not easy to lure that guy out."

Su Lun listened to Tani's description of the location, the guy was hiding in the deep sea, far away, very cautious.

Probably because there is no certainty that they can eat a boat of them, and that guy has no intention of appearing.

Tani can communicate with the fish, and they can also determine the location of some mechanical octopuses.

But because it is constantly moving, it is difficult to accurately capture it.

Rushing into the sea may not be effective.

Once the snake does not die, the follow-up problems will be very troublesome.

Most importantly, they are not sure where the "manipulator" is.

When Tani said this, many people on the boat paid attention.

Even Qianjo cast an inquiring look, the meaning is obvious: Do you want to do it?

Su Lun shook his head, not intending to startle the snake.

He raised his hand to signal that everyone should continue to do what they were supposed to do.

Seeing his expression, the crew also had a tacit understanding, and no one came to ask curiously.

And Su Lun's mind was also thinking about a strategy quickly.

All the pictures after he came out of the pirate city appeared in his mind, and he deduced the whole process from the beginning, thinking: "Since that guy can always follow the future, there must be some special way to grasp the movement of the 'Princess'. Either there is an internal response. , or some kind of special positioning ability, or a mysterious ability such as divination and prophecy”

Su Lun ruled out all possibilities one by one.

The royal guards of the "Princess Frostmoon" are all elites, and it is difficult to follow them without being noticed.

What's more, there are submarines in the water, even if there are mechanical octopuses, it is impossible to follow them at close range.

The distance is far, so how can he keep it from being lost?

Mystic divination ability?

The requirements for professionals are a bit high. After all, Mafa's royal princess must also have treasures such as preventive divination.

What's more, they all use mechanical octopuses, and 80% are not traditional alchemists.

There is a possibility of internal response, but the probability is also small.

Su Lun wasn't sure for a while what the "manipulator" was using

Thinking about it, my thoughts went a little far.

At this moment, the crew members communicated through the communicator without noticing.

"Officer Hayes, there is a distress signal three miles to the north. It should be a brother who has fallen into the water. Let's go over and have a look?"

"Good! Turn the rudder!"

"."

The "Zizi" signal sound was inexplicably clear in Su Lun's ears at this moment.

Although the Dawn is not big, the communication between the cabin and the deck will not work if it is all about roaring. Especially in the bad weather before, the sound of wind and waves can overwhelm people's voices, and the efficiency of communication is very low.

In order to accurately convey instructions, almost every ship is equipped with a mechanical communicator.

Hearing this, Su Lun's mind suddenly flashed.

"By the way, it's the communicator!"

Only then did he realize that he had overlooked something preconceivedly.

In his hand is the [Daggers Goblin Communicator], which can communicate secretly over long distances regardless of obstacles.

This communicator is good, but not mass-produced.

Therefore, if you want to be equipped in the army on a large scale, it is still a conventional mechanical communication device.

And this communicator has a fatal drawback, that is, all channels are common. Communication waves will spread indiscriminately within a certain range, so it is possible to be captured and deciphered.

No matter how advanced the communication equipment of Lu Ying and Mafa military is, this problem cannot be avoided.

Su Lun rolled his eyes and guessed in his heart, "That guy should have some kind of ability to decipher and capture communication signals, and that's how the 'Princess' is located."

Suddenly, he felt as if he had a way to lure the guy out.

The plan in my mind was made in an instant.

Su Lun gestured to Qianjo, then took out the ship's communicator, thinking about it and said, "Hey, Captain, don't tell me, the six mechanical octopuses you got this time are really useful. Those Marfa submarines We almost killed us."

A flash of light flashed in Qiantiao's eyes, and he immediately understood, followed by saying, "That's not right."

Su Lun continued: "Hey, it would be nice if the 'Old Ghost' could get us a few more pieces, and they wouldn't let the submarine run away before."

Speaking of which, Qiantiao had already guessed what Su Lun was going to do, and continued: "Raphael's laboratory is not so easy to get in and out of. It's not easy to get these mechanical octopuses this time. ."

Su Lun: "Those guys in the royal family of Lu Ying put a bounty on the black market to inquire about news, and they plan to spend a lot of money to buy these 'mechanical octopuses'. Even if we sell them in a package, we can make a lot of money. I heard that we This mechanical octopus design in hand can at least be replaced by a 'hereditary marquis' title, not to mention the latest products of 'experimental level' with three heads. I said, this time we go back, let's chat with those guys from Lu Ying's military intelligence department Oh, yes! Marfa and those guys definitely want it too. We can talk to both sides and sell it at a good price.”

Chijo knew that Su Lun was trying to lure the enemy out, and agreed: "Well, let's decide this way. We've caught people here, let's go back and sell the blueprints. It's useless to keep them in our hands anyway. "

The two were obviously not far apart, but they used a communicator.

There is almost no difficulty in eavesdropping on this non-encrypted channel.

If it is as Su Lun speculated, then their conversation at the moment should have been eavesdropped.

If that's the case, that guy has a high probability of doing it.

There are actually some loopholes in the dialogue between Su Lun and Chijo.

For example, why did they fight with Mafa's people, why did the drawings and the ghosts not stand up to scrutiny.

But he was sure that the "manipulator" 80% would act.

Dr. Banks was previously the director of experimental projects under Archduke Raphael in Old Rington. Therefore, they are very aware of the strict confidentiality management system in the laboratory.

Archduke Raphael has many secret laboratories working on various projects.

But the labs are independent and mutually confidential.

It is a felony to inquire without permission.

Moreover, for the sake of technical secrecy, the biological department, the combat department and the mechanical laboratory are completely independent departments. There is almost no communication between members.

And this "manipulator" will come to Beihai to perform an interception mission, and 80% of the people in the combat department. Then there is a high probability that he does not know the situation in the laboratory at all.

Therefore, he will not know what the "inner ghost" is.

But the dialogue between Su Lun and the others will make people think and analyze!

Although three mechanical octopuses were lost in the Roqueman Strait before, there are six in front of them. There are also three "mechanical octopuses.plus", which are the "laboratory latest products" that Su Lun emphasized in the newsletter.

The manipulator has absolutely no idea that there are other people who have mastered "neuro-mechanical technology".

Under normal circumstances, any force that captures the mechanical octopus, even if it falls into the Mafa military headquarters, is absolutely impossible to be cracked so quickly.

To any outsider, the only reasonable explanation is that something went wrong in the laboratory of Archduke Raphael, and something came out.

But none of this matters.

The important thing is that now that the problem has indeed come out, you have to find a way to stop the loss!

The "manipulator" didn't dare to let Su Lun and the others go, and could not wait for support, so he could only take the risk of killing them.

Otherwise, once they are allowed to return to the pirate city of Hastelling, he will have even less chance to do it.

Moreover, 80% of that guy is also very confident in his mechanical octopus.

Dozens of mechanical octopuses came together, and the top professionals had to avoid three points.

Even if you can't kill the enemy and destroy the ship, in this uninhabited sea area, it will consume all the energy to kill these people.

as predicted.

Not long after the communication, Tani immediately confirmed through the fish in the sea that the group of mechanical octopuses under the water was approaching.

Su Lun unhurriedly took out some energy enchantments and placed them under his feet. As soon as the black rune umbrella in his hand was opened, an invisible power of perception spread.

Soul perception, everything is clear.

Because the other party took the initiative to approach, Su Lun sensed a group of special soul fires, which was the mechanical octopus.

And in this group of soul fires, there is a very special existence.

Human soul fire and octopus are very different.

Su Lun took a swipe and immediately determined that that guy is the "manipulator"!

He quietly told the news to the most powerful Chijo and Dr. Banks on the ship.

Since the decision to attack, the enemy is also very decisive.

At this moment, the crew on the side of the ship also saw the shadow in the water catching up quickly, and exclaimed.

"Captain, there are monsters coming towards us in the water! There are many!"

"Damn, those tentacles are attacking our ship!"

"."

Most people didn't understand what was going on, but they could clearly feel the violent shaking of the hull. There was also an abnormal sound of "dong dong" and "click" from the cabin.

This is the movement of the chisel.

Mechanical octopuses can be called the strongest "boat-breaking weapon". Under normal circumstances, two or three mechanical octopuses can disassemble a sailing wooden boat into pieces in a short time, let alone dozens of them?

This touch made a three-masted ship show signs of capsizing.

Su Lun looked at this, but he didn't panic at all, but his heart was filled with joy: "Thirty-eight? Tsk tsk, that's quite a lot."

The "manipulator" didn't do it before, that is to say, the strength is the same.

Otherwise, if you are sure to eat them, you will do it before.

Not worth worrying about.

At this moment, Su Lun also captured the position of the manipulator's soul fire, and shouted: "30 meters underwater, at nine o'clock! Start, catch that guy!"

"it is good!"

Hearing this, Qianjo, Dr. Banks, and Banner's most powerful ships jumped into the sea, ignoring those mechanical octopuses, and swam towards the bottom of the sea.

At the same time, with a pinch of Su Lun's seal, the energy crystal under his feet instantly shot out a dazzling light, and a huge cross instantly condensed in the sky.

"Puppet Profound Truth - Puppet Theater!"

The moment the cross in the sky lit up, the transparent hair that had been laid out on the ship for a long time before quickly condensed into a solid body.

Those mechanical octopuses are trying to break the boat.

There are churning mechanical tentacles everywhere on the sea, and it looks like the sea water is boiling, which is extremely terrifying.

The crew is still fighting.

However, when the sword slashed those mechanical tentacles, except for a flash of fire, there was no harm at all.

Musket bullets, even individual artillery, can't leave much traces on the mechanical tentacles.

Facing the attack of this kind of cluster of mechanical monsters, the Dawn regiment seemed to have a sign that it was about to be destroyed.

The manipulator was probably thinking of "a wave of flow", the moment the ship was sunk, to kill the people on the ship as much as possible. Therefore, all the mechanical octopuses were concentrated and rushed over together.

Too bad there is Su Lun on board!

For the mechanical octopus to exert force, it must need a fulcrum, and the tentacles are also attached to the hull, spreading over the deck, cabin, and mast.

It is this close contact that gives Su Lun the opportunity to wrap the silk thread.

At the moment when dozens of mechanical octopuses appeared, the countless threads that had spread all over the ship for a long time also condensed into entities. Like catching prey that has fallen into a spider's web, the octopuses barely had time to struggle, and were entangled tightly.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Su Lun to control dozens of powerful mechanical monsters with silk threads at the same time.

That level of wrestling, even the most powerful Hercules can't do it.

But after the research and production during this period, Su Lun now knows the structure of the mechanical octopus very well.

While the silk thread was entangled, the [mental tentacles] drilled into the gap of the armor skillfully and found the octopus' nerve tissue. It didn't take much effort at all to easily stop the dozens of mechanical octopuses from the source.

Although the Dawn was destroyed in an instant, those octopuses only managed to do it for a while.

The next second, they were like the pause button was pressed, and they were sluggish on the spot.

The crew members who were in a hurry before were instantly stunned, and they turned their heads to look at the figures standing on a piece of the hull, and their eyes were bright.

Those old members of Lolota from the previous dawn had seen Su Lun's methods and looked at the silk thread.

The look on his face turned from shock to ecstasy.

"Mr. Su Lun is mighty!"

"Hahaha, Mr. Su Lun is really amazing!"

"."

No one would have thought that the group was in a desperate situation just now, and this blink of an eye would be reversed?

In this scene, the "manipulator" was stunned.

The pirate ship did not deviate from the plan, and it was sunk in a face-to-face.

But what's going on?

He would never have imagined that someone would use this method to crack the almost invincible mechanical octopus army.

how could it be possible.

It was obvious that even Marfa's navy reorganized ships were powerless to fight back, how could they be defeated so easily?

Before he could think about it, the realm of surprise turned into panic, and a sword energy wrapped in the momentum of thunder came straight at him.

He saw several figures coming towards his hiding place!

Every time he hides in the sea and controls the mechanical octopus army to kill, he has never been exposed. How do these guys determine his hiding location?

It's good that the enemy has not been found, but once found, how can the target escape?

Thousands of people are also extremely sharp, and it is impossible to give him a chance to escape, even in the sea.

What's more, after Su Lun controlled those mechanical octopuses, he also "rebelled" the group of octopuses in a blink of an eye, besieging the manipulators in the water.

Not long after, the guy was cornered and killed by Qianjo.

This guy is a "Super Mechanical Warrior". As expected, his body's combat power is only at the level of a fourth- or fifth-order professional.

However, his mechanical limbs are a bit special. He has fins on his hands and feet, and is equipped with a sophisticated [mechanical scuba]. He can swim in the sea for a long time and has a very strong hiding ability. Unexpectedly, a [communicator deciphering machine] was also found on this guy.

As for living?

Not required.

Su Lun can strip soul fragments.

He swallowed the gray fog on the corpse and picked out the information he was interested in.

"You stripped the soul of 'Sid Hewinter'"

"You have acquired "experience in the maintenance, maintenance, and repair of mechanical octopuses""

"You have acquired a lot of knowledge about mechanical warriors, mechanical experience +554"

"You have harvested some of the organizational structure, code words, and strength divisions of Archduke Raphael's special corps from your memory."

"You extracted some information: 'Duke Raphael's large secret base is near the 'Nuggets Island', specializing in the manufacture of mechanical creatures'."

"Mental Power +4.1"

"."

"Archduke Raphael's base for making mechanical octopuses is near a place called 'Nugget Pirates', in the nameless barren sea west of the Black Tower?"

After Su Lun harvested this guy's memory, he immediately regained his spirits.

This time it seems that more than dozens of mechanical octopuses have been harvested. It seems that there is a bigger secret?

When these mechanical warriors leave the factory, they are engraved with the "ideological steel seal" of absolute loyalty in their consciousness. No matter how tortured or hypnotized they are, they will not leak their secrets.

But Su Lun's soul stripping method directly bypassed those will barriers and stripped out this big secret.

"I finally know where the secret factory of Archduke Raphael is located."

Su Lun's mind suddenly became alive.

A large research base means a lot of materials, mature machinery and equipment, scientific researchers, countless research materials, finished products and semi-finished products

"Fuck, this is a pirate, so I feel like a conditioned reflex popped up in my mind, rob?"

In an instant, Su Lun even thought of some battle plans in his mind.

A completely isolated military base means that as few outsiders know as possible, and the defense force may not be particularly strong.

Like the old Lington dungeon before?

Although the information in the base is not detailed enough, maybe it can be operated?

Just as Su Lun's thoughts were racing, the members of the group in the distance also shouted.

Although a surprise battle ended in near misses, there were not even many casualties.

The problem is that their ship was smashed to pieces by the mechanical octopus in the battle just now.

Debris is floating all over the sea, some crew members are on lifeboats, some are floating with wooden barrels and masts, looking embarrassed and funny.

"Captain Qianjo, our warship has been destroyed, what should we do now?"

"Yeah, this is an uninhabited sea, almost no ships will pass by, and 80% of them can't go back by means of lifeboats. The signal distance of the communicator is too far, and it is impossible to call for help."

"Oh~ this is terrible. Are you going to feed the sharks with our mighty captain?"

"."

The crew members were not too pessimistic, each one of them learned the big heart of Qianjo, but rather gloated.

Chijo rolled her eyes while listening to the self-deprecating jokes of the crew members.

She glanced at Su Lun again and asked, "Boy Su Lun, should you be ready?"

She knew Su Lun's character very well, and since she started, 80% expected this result.

Hearing this, Dr. Banks also cast his inquiring eyes.

There are no boats at sea, but it's a very bad situation.

Su Lun spread his hands and said, "I do have some preparations. But it will take some time."

Hearing his words, everyone in the Dawn Regiment breathed a sigh of relief.

This Mr. Su Lun can bring them big surprises every time they are desperate.

But at the same time, they are also very puzzled. Now that the boat is gone, what else can they do?

Even if there is space for storage, at most a few small lifeboats can be taken out, which will not solve the problem at all.

Su Lun didn't explain much, he exhaled a long breath, and when Warlock Yin pinched, a black hole slowly condensed in his palm.

That's right, this is the Warlock Seal that unlocks the fourth-order breeding outfit [Endless Stomach of Aerial Whales].

With such a large storage space, Su Lun will not be wasted.

It is to predict that various unexpected situations may be encountered, and then he stuffed all kinds of strange things in the space, most of which are large objects that cannot be accommodated in the storage space.

The biggest one is a whole three-masted galleon with a displacement of nearly 1,000 tons!

However, it can be installed.

But whether it is to put away that sailboat or release it now, it is a very labor-intensive process.

Su Lun's current spatial ability is like an ant dragging an elephant. He has just opened the "Little Void Realm", and he feels that most of the dark spiritual power has been emptied.

As a last resort, he could only take out a bunch of energy spar, and while absorbing it, he continued to pour in the dark spiritual power, so that the black hole opened wider enough to allow the ship to come out.

The crew of the Dawn Mission watched the eerie black hole in space appear, and they didn't understand what Su Lun was going to do.

Everyone watched with great interest while packing up and salvaging the items floating in the sea.

However, a quarter of an hour later, when a huge barque slowly emerged from the black hole.

Everyone's eyes were dull.

No one thought that Su Lun would carry a battleship with him!

Qiantiao's eyes were bright, and he was full of surprise and muttered to himself: "This kid is really prepared."

Even the calm Dr. Banks' expression became very strange, and his face was full of disbelief, "It's really an exaggerated preparation."
