Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 419 Going to Lu Ying

"It's very troublesome!"

Chijo complained in disgust.

But because it belongs to Su Lun, I didn't feel particularly uncomfortable.

In the end, you can't give this hateful guy a good face, otherwise he will definitely make an inch.

Chijo Bento stood up naked from the bathtub with a stern face, and stood under the shower again, rinsing his body with running water.

Su Lun admired it with great interest, listened to the complaint, and then responded, "Ah, sorry, sorry~"

Although he said sorry in his mouth, there was a very happy expression on his face. There is no such opportunity on weekdays, and the "special acquiescence" just now made him play so comfortably for the first time.

Most importantly,

Qianjo also took the initiative to help just now.

This made Su Lun feel really good.

"Humph!"

Qianjoo glanced at his hateful smile, and snorted coldly.

She just turned her body away and didn't let this guy look any more.

Su Lun had an indifferent expression on his face, and the figure of the young gambling addict, whether it was from the front or the back, was very interesting. The crystal water droplets slipped from the back, and then slid down on Xu Jian's uplift, which is very pleasing to the eye.

But after a while, he smiled and narrowed his eyes.

It was a rare act of intimacy that Qianjo could help him do this.

That's it.

Chijo felt that the gaze that was wandering on his body suddenly converged, and he felt relieved for no reason.

She looked down at her hand, as if thinking of something, a helpless arc overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and she pursed it again.

It didn't seem like he was smiling, but he didn't see the slightest bit of anger.

Su Lun felt as if he had solved the "sequelae" of Pandora's fascination, and was refreshed.

After Chijo washed his body and his clothes off, Su Lun didn't soak too much.

After washing, he put on his clothes, and did not rush back to the laboratory. Instead, he took out an alchemy tome and sat on the sofa to read it.

Although no one in the house spoke,

But both enjoyed the alone time.

But looking at it, there was a knock on the door "tuk-tuk-tuk".

Qianjo was taking care of her precious long swords. She heard the footsteps of Mr. Jing, and called out to the door: "Filo, the door is not locked, come in directly when you come back. Why? Knock on the door."

As soon as these words came out, there was the sound of the doorknob twisting.

Looking again, Mr. Jing in a black satin slim dress walked in. She looked at the two people in the room, and casually responded to Qianjo's words just now, "Knock on the door for fear of disturbing your relationship."

Su Lun watched Mr. Jing come in, and also greeted, "Senior sister."

Mr. Mirror smiled and nodded.

Qianjo rolled her eyes at her, "Is there anything to disturb?"

She was a friend who couldn't be familiar with it any longer. She didn't know what Mr. Jing was joking, and even smiled wickedly: "Philo, if you came back earlier, you could still help a little bit."

As soon as these words came out, Su Lun on the sofa twitched his eyelids, and quickly covered his eyes with a book, thinking that this young woman who is addicted to gambling can really say anything.

Fortunately, Mr. Jing also got used to it and smiled without saying a word.

She closed the door casually, walked towards Su Lun, tucked her skirt gracefully, and sat on the sofa with her legs.

Su Lun put down the alchemy book in his hand and asked, "Senior sister, is there any information about yesterday's battle?"

She will come at this time, probably only this.

"yes."

Mr. Jing nodded and said: "The news of our battle in the city-state of Moros has been spread yesterday, and Lu Ying's side made a headline in the special issue of the newspaper this morning. Basically, it is no different from the plan. But there are two. Slightly special. information."

"Oh?"

Su Lun also became interested when he heard this.

They were witnesses to yesterday's battle, and no matter how detailed it was in the newspapers, it was impossible for them to know clearly. But if you can let your senior sister say something special, it must be very special.

Mr. Jing said directly: "The newspaper said that the thirteenth Princess Marfa "Princess Frostmoon" Skadi Harris was killed. "

Su Lun frowned suddenly, "That Princess Marfa died?"

Even if it was a thousand pieces, he put away the knife he was wiping in his hand with a "click" and looked over.

Mr. Jing nodded: "Yes. The specific cause of death is not written in the newspaper. But it is 80% true. There has been news from Marfa that Emperor Marfa was angry and will definitely investigate it to the end."

"."

Hearing this, Su Lun fell into deep thought.

It was only then that he thought of why those mechanical warriors would suddenly withdraw when they were chasing before.

It turned out that Stika was assassinated.

He wasn't too surprised.

I just thought it would have a big impact.

After all, it was a princess of a country who died.

Su Lun knew very well that the Dawn Regiment didn't kill Princess Stika in the battle yesterday.

But she died.

This is subtle.

Dare to kill the princess, there are only a few who have the ability to kill.

While Ekaterina was in the city, the Agaphanon Temple was destroyed by her summoning a meteor.

There was no need to think about it, Su Lun directly stated his guess and said lightly: "It should be the Lance family."

"Well. I think so too."

Mr. Jing also nodded, his face as calm as Su Lun.

In the eyes of outsiders, the death of Princess Nastyka must be the masterpiece of the Dawn Regiment. It seems that the Dawn Regiment has "taken the blame" for the Lance family.

But in reality, both of them knew that there was no difference in essence whether Princess Namafa died or not.

If Princess Stika is not dead, the North Sea Fleet and Marfa will not want them?

Obviously not possible.

The essence of wanted is not a contradiction, but a benefit.

"Void Mystery" was destroyed, and the foundation of the alliance between Marfa and Beihai no longer existed.

The purpose of the wanted is to obtain the treasures and keys of the Void Secret Realm in the hands of the Dawn Mission, as well as the neuro-mechanical technology.

This is the most important reason.

As for the death of a princess, it was at most an excuse to act.

A princess married to a pirate has lost the most important function of marriage. Especially after coming to Beihai, not only did he not have any achievements, but he frequently caused huge losses to the empire. This kind of "waste", even if she returned to the Marfa Empire, would be of little value to those in power.

It's better to use some residual heat.

It can be expected that in the near future, the Marfa Empire will definitely put pressure on Lu Ying because of the death of the royal princess. Those politicians will find any excuse to send a large number of people to Lu Ying to fish in troubled waters.

Qianjoo became interested when he heard the news.

She hung a few knives on the knife holder, came over, and sat on the sofa with a big horse.

Right between Su Lun and Mr. Mirror.

She spoke more directly, teasing: "Yeah, Su Lun, the noble lady friend you know, is really not weak in means and scheming."

Su Lun shrugged noncommittally.

Katyusha is his friend.

This Ekaterina is very strange.

But it cannot be denied that she secretly provided a great help in the previous battle.

Whether it was destroying the temple or Van Gogh's shot, it was clear that the snipers had greatly weakened the threat of the North Sea Fleet.

Even the assassination of Princess Stiga created conditions for Su Lun and the others to evacuate safely. This is also one of the most important factors in Dawn's ability to evacuate without battle damage.

Cooperation is mutual exchanges, not one-way demands.

So this "black pot" doesn't matter if you carry it or not.

Obviously, the first information just now had no effect on the Dawn regiment at all, and the three of them didn't take it seriously.

At this time, Mr. Jing also smiled slightly, and said: "The second news is also related to this Miss 'Ekaterina'."

"???"

Su Lun looked over and always felt that she meant something, as if she was talking to herself.

Mr. Jing said: "Today's newspaper also published an important news on the front page, that the Grand Duke of Reims in the north and the Regardi family in the south have reached a marriage agreement. Three months later, in Turin, Emperor Luying, will be held There is a blessed wedding hosted by Empress Lu Ying herself."

Su Lun already knew the news.

Because this is what he promised himself.

I just didn't expect that this kind of thing would even be published in the newspapers, so that the whole world knows about it?

Hearing this, the fire of gossip in Qiantiao's eyes ignited, and she hooked Su Lun's shoulder and pulled it into her arms, "Ouch, listen to Barrett, the Duke of Lance's family. That little princess is a big beauty, known as 'the first beauty of the Royal Academy'."

After a pause, she smiled wickedly again: "What does that noble lady look like? Does Philo look good?"

Su Lun responded: "It's really not bad. But I think it's far worse than Senior Sister Ye. You're not as good-looking as Sister Qianjo."

Qianjo was very satisfied with this answer, "Tsk tsk. You are a good girl."

Saying that, as usual, he almost leaned his entire body on Su Lun, in a very intimate posture.

It was nothing at first, and Su Lun was accustomed to it, but for some reason, he suddenly felt bad: "Here again?"

This familiar feeling, he didn't understand that Pandora's seduction technique had not been resolved.

Qianjo caught the embarrassment in his expression, and muttered in disgust, "Hey, calm down."

"."

No matter how thick-skinned Su Lun is at this moment, he still feels embarrassed.

It's enough to be alone with Qianjo, and now there is his senior sister by his side.

I was thinking of explaining it.

But Mr. No Mirror seems to know something, and he is not surprised at all.

She glanced at it and smiled warmly, "Pandora's seduction?"

When Su Lun heard her opening, the embarrassing atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and asked back, "Senior sister, do you know?"

Mr. Jing said: "Yeah. Pandora came to say goodbye to me when she left. She asked me to tell you that the effect of this charm will last for about three days, and there will be occasional attacks during this period."

Pandora is the alchemy work of Isaac and his wife, and can be regarded as half a daughter, and Mr. Mirror is Isaac's daughter. Although they didn't seem to communicate much before, this relationship is beyond the reach of outsiders.

three days?

It hasn't been resolved yet.

Su Lun was speechless for a while, and said expectantly, "Senior sister, is there any way to unlock this technique?"

With an unhelpful expression on Mr. Jing's face, he spread out his hands, "This is a Shinto mystical technique. If you want to solve it, you have to do it yourself. I can't help it."

Su Lun felt that this was bad news.

Fortunately, Su Lun rarely shows up outside when he is fine, and apart from Mr. Kyo and Chijo who have seen his awkward state, there is no one else around.

Three days passed in a flash.

Su Lun has been in the lab all the time.

After all, he is really busy.

The previous battle of Moros city-state was indeed majestic.

Su Lun also tried the ultimate combat power of his current puppet technique for the first time, causing tens of thousands of enemy casualties.

However, the damage was also very serious.

Thousands of rune puppets and mechanical armors were damaged to varying degrees, and the reserve ammunition was exhausted.

The mechanical armor and the war workshop in the small void world help to repair, but the rune puppet has to be repaired by Su Lun himself.

The most urgent problem facing now is to make high-level puppets to make up for the lost combat power.

That battle also made him aware of various deficiencies in his puppet technique.

In the previous battle, his puppet legion had a very good effect on low-level pirates, and almost all were harvested in pieces with low battle damage.

But for high-level professionals who are on the fifth or sixth rank, they will almost be harvested in reverse.

Thinking that there would be a thousand high-level 4th and 5th rank puppets, Su Lun felt that he might kill any 7th rank professional!

The production process of advanced puppets is very cumbersome, and a puppet takes a lot of time to make by hand.

Even if there are eight-armed spider spears, it will take several days for a fourth-order puppet to complete one.

Therefore, Su Lun has been pondering a new idea with the engineers in the War Workshop recently, to see if it is possible to replace some of the rune puppet production programs with machinery.

Such as some basic material screening, engraving, grinding, coating.

In theory, mechanical energy can make complex mechanical armors, and it is also possible to make general rune puppets.

At that time, if a standardized assembly line can be created, the output of rune puppets will increase explosively.

Achieving mass production is the foundation of Legion combat.

But now the problem is coming again, making high-level puppets requires a lot of alchemy materials.

Su Lun now has a lot of miscellaneous things, but some special materials controlled by Lu Ying's military are extremely scarce.

As a result, the production speed of rune puppets and mechanical armors is not fast.

So these days, the engineers in the War Workshop have been focusing on research and experiments, making various tests of the "Puppet Pipeline", "Titan Mechanical Octopus", and modifying the blueprints of the battle armor for puppet manipulation. And so on. to the project.

In fact, only a variety of alchemy ammunition are actually put into production in large quantities.

In that battle, Su Lun deeply realized the concept of "firepower is truth".

As long as there is enough ammunition, top professionals have to back away.

And the materials for making alchemy bullets are relatively abundant, so we will concentrate on productivity and get a bunch of them first.

At that time, even if you can't use it yourself, you can sell at least two or three times the profit of this "hard currency" in the adventurer market.

Moreover, the War Workshop was placed in the Small Void Realm, which was much better than in the submarine before.

Su Lun also plans to expand production capacity. Then you need to buy some mechanical factory equipment, such as some large smelting boilers, high-precision lathes, and research instruments.

But unfortunately, those things are still piped.

Fortunately, Su Lun is not alone, but the "Dawn Organization".

Through communication in advance, the Beluga Chamber of Commerce has raised a lot of materials, and also found some black market channels to buy machinery and equipment from those military factories.

Everything has to go to Lu Ying to get it.

The Yongye has also been heading south these days, sailing towards Lu Ying.

Before the "Puppet Pipeline" was finished and the materials arrived, Su Lun also faced another problem.

That is the number of puppet manipulation.

The limit of the number of puppets he can control now is about a thousand, and it is very slow to increase this number.

Mainly limited by mental power.

There is no accurate rank distinction for mental power, but Su Lun now clearly feels that he has reached a bottleneck, probably the realm of "great puppet master".

After entering this stage, it is very difficult to improve the spiritual power to have a qualitative change.

Relying on the [Death Reaper] talent, he quickly reached the current state. But it is very difficult to take it to the next level to the level of "spiritual manifestation" and "void wandering" like Pandora. It's even harder than he was from zero base to now.

Unless he becomes a murderer, like the previous battle that killed tens of thousands of people at a time, there may be hope after a few more attempts.

But only possible.

Su Lun never considered the idea either.

In the field of alchemy, all energies are balanced.

Killing for the sake of killing is repelled by certain plane laws like "will of the world".

In layman's terms, it means "unlucky" and "retribution".

It's not magic.

It was Sir Isaac, who had mastered the talent of [Fate], and personally warned Mr. Mirror.

Su Lun wasn't in a hurry.

After all, this is a super large threshold. It is estimated that the spiritual power of this plane exceeds that threshold, and it will not exceed the number of hands.

He has only advanced to the fifth step, and there is still a long way to go.

There is plenty of time too.

What's more, Su Lun has an advantage over the average person.

That is the [Eclipse Sun] totem.

Su Lun had been mentally deformed before, and listening to the whispers brought him a lot of negative mental growth.

These negative mental powers have always been absorbed by the [Eclipse Sun] totem drawn by Yuta with divine power.

He thought it was a burden before, but now he is looking forward to helping break through the spiritual realm after the totem is fully absorbed.

And not only mental power, but also the upper limit of the ability of "multiple hearts and multiple uses" also needs to be raised.

At least to achieve the ultimate goal that Su Lun himself envisioned, a picture of one person controlling tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of puppets, requires stronger control.

Thanks to magical alchemy, some alchemy equipment and advanced materials have similar abilities.

As long as you look for it carefully, you may not be able to find it in the future.

The Yongye has been riding the wind and waves at sea for nearly a month.

During the voyage, I encountered many waves of sea ships, including merchant ships, pirate ships, and reconnaissance ships of unknown forces.

Fortunately, seeing the Neptune-class battleship like the Yongye, most of the ships automatically avoided it.

There were very few ships that wanted to hang and follow, and those who came from bad intentions and wanted to intercept them were directly caught up and sunk by Su Lun and the others.

The Dawn Mission has the world's top ships, top powerhouses like Mr. Jing, and the best navigators. Naturally, they didn't encounter any accidents.

For nearly a month of sailing, Su Lun has been living in the cabin.

The busy period of time has almost completed some of the things needed for the battle.

Emperor Lu Ying is a holy land of alchemy, gathering all kinds of strange people, and there are as many high-level professionals.

Su Lun was going to the Royal Academy to get the copy of "Isaac's Alchemy Manuscripts", and he had to go to Catherine's appointment. This trip would definitely cause some disturbances, so naturally, some preparations had to be made in advance.

On this day, it was a deserted island near the western coastline of Luying.

Su Lun and his two disciples, Karma and Albuquerque, were leisurely roasting coconut crabs on the beach.

They have been waiting here for half a day.

Half a day ago, Su Lun and Mr. Jing separated.

The rest of the Dawn regiment have to go to Xenodia first. There is the site where Mr. Mirror's blood descendants have been operating for hundreds of years, and it is also the foundation of the Dawn Organization.

A large organization has to deal with a lot of diplomatic issues like wanted, alliances, recruiting, cooperation...etc.

After the last battle of Moros city-state "Dawn" became famous, a large number of people will definitely come here.

There are also many tough questions.

Mr. Mirror is going to deal with those things.

Su Lun wanted to go to Lu Ying to get the materials first, and also had to make an appointment, so he planned to change to a passing cruise ship and go to Lingdun.

The weather today is sunny and sunny, with a gentle sea breeze.

The waves crashed on the white sandy beach.

Su Lun sat in the shade and looked through the alchemy tome that he had harvested from the Void Rift.

The coconut crabs on the bonfire were already fragrant, and the three master and apprentice simply settled for lunch.

At this moment, Albuquerque, who was on the top of the coconut tree, found something, and said excitedly to Su Lun on the ground: "Teacher, the ship is here! The word on the hull is 'Queen Rodrika'!"

After listening to this, Su Lun stood up, jumped up a tree, and saw clearly a giant steam-powered steel ship slowly approaching at the end of his field of vision.

A gleam flashed across his eyes.

This is the boat to wait for.

This luxury cruise ship has surrounded Luying for most of the time, and will arrive at Imperial Turin in half a month.

It happened to be Su Lun's destination.

Taking a downwind boat is one of them.

More importantly, there is news from Mr. Hei that there is top-secret information that there is an important leader of the "Giant Priory" on this ship!
