Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 441

"Second solution's [B-010-Big Stomach King] talent is very compatible with this vampire ring, no wonder the ring will fall into this guy's hands."

Su Lun looked at the white-faced young man with thought.

This is the second professional with this talent he has ever encountered.

The last one was the commander of the North Sea Fleet's Ninth Fleet, "Admiral Gluttonous" Ikhir Paeon, who had already died in the Land of Yellow Springs.

This talent is very powerful, it can devour foreign objects and use it for one's own use, and the physical combat power will be very strong.

The vampires also have the talent to suck the blood of others to restore and strengthen themselves.

The vampire ring is a perfect match with the [Big Stomach King] talent.

Although it is not difficult to see rare talents in top noble families. Because there is a probability that many talents can be passed down through blood, noble families usually choose to combine with some commoners with rare talents to give birth to children. The base is large, and there are always a few descendants of B-level or A-level talents.

But the second solution talent is hard to come by.

"Although this Augustus is only Tier 6, his combat power can never be measured by ordinary Tier 6. It's a bit tricky."

Su Lun immediately judged in his heart that this guy is very strong.

He sighed inwardly again, there are really many strange masters in Lingdun.

I met a mysterious "curator" before, and now there is such an old immortal who pretends to be tender.

This is something he's not sure he can beat.

The Rodriguez family are staunch supporters and promoters of the Freedom of Faith Act, and are almost 100 percent followers of the Outer God.

Nature is the enemy.

When Su Lun saw the ring, the first thought in his mind was how to kill this person.

But after pondering for a moment, he still felt that he was not sure.

At least it's impossible to do it here.

"Why don't you ask the king of the Lingtun gang with great powers next time?"

Su Lun thought of a more secure plan.

Without this ring, there is a high probability that this old thing will be killed on the spot, and there is a high probability that it is impossible to obtain it through normal exchange of interests.

But that "Shadow Lord" claims to be incapable, what if he succeeds?

It's best if you can't do it yourself.

Su Lun thought that he was not in a hurry.

It didn't take long for the top ten finals of the puppet contest to begin.

The host's passionate opening speech kicked off, and the contestants first missed a face in front of the stage. Siblings Albuquerque and Karma were among them.

Seeing this, Su Lun guessed that Young Master Alex was here to cheer Karma.

Su Lun didn't feel anything wrong.

Although the Karma siblings are their own disciples, they have their own way to go in the future.

The host of the puppet conference briefly introduced the background of the ten finalists from the preliminaries, covering almost all the current mainstream puppet genres.

But apart from Kama's brother and sister's Boyle's puppet lineage, which belonged to outsiders, the other eight were all disciples of the elders of the Lingdun Puppet Masters Guild.

After all, the puppet master also relies on foreign objects to enhance its combat power. The stronger the puppet, the stronger the combat power.

Puppet masters are not necessarily rich, but powerful puppet masters must be rich.

It said that it was a national convention, but it was actually a group of small nobles fighting within each other.

Alberk was only six years old, and his diminutive stature stood out among the line of contestants.

Only he is a first-order professional, and the others are second-order.

But Su Lun is still very optimistic that his disciple can take the first place.

After Alberk came to power, he was a little absent-minded and seemed to have little interest in this kind of competition. He probably guessed that his teacher would come to watch the game, so his eyes searched everywhere in the crowd, and he soon landed on Su Lun who was sitting in an inconspicuous corner.

Looking up, Su Lun also smiled and nodded in encouragement.

Seeing his teacher also watching the battle in person, Albuquer suddenly got some energy.

The rhythm of the game is not too fast, this kind of academic-style battle is end-to-end, and the viewing experience is not bad. But in the eyes of a puppet master like Su Lun, it's just to see the excitement.

However, he has also seen the fighting styles of several mainstream schools of puppet professionals.

The weapon flow is rude, the curse flow is weird, the beast puppet flow has all kinds of strange monster puppets, and the element flow has a dazzling variety of puppet spells.

The cheers at the scene were also higher than a wave.

It has to be said that the battle between fellow puppet masters is more interesting than other professions.

Obviously two people are fighting, but there is a group fight in the ring.

All kinds of puppets collided, and the audience was hooked.

But the control skills of these second-order puppet masters are too immature in Su Lun's opinion. If you really want to face him, maybe those fancy puppets will not even have a chance to shoot, and they will be paralyzed on the spot.

However, the top ten are actually at the level of very good puppet masters among normal people.

It's not like Su Lun relied on the [Reaper] talent to harvest about a hundred or two hundred years of manipulation experience, which is naturally difficult for others to match.

After a few rounds, we entered the semi-finals.

There are a few notable games.

But to Su Lun's surprise, Albuquerque actually lost!

This guy made it all the way to the semi-finals by relying on his excellent silk control skills without even using a puppet.

But in this last match, he faced Elsa Bach, a close disciple of the most promising Aubrey Grandmaster. Actually lost in two rounds.

"Is this kid Alberk controlling the ranking?"

Su Lun twitched the corners of his eyes, thought for a moment, and then revealed a sudden smile.

Others watched the fun and thought that Albuquerque was really invincible, but as a teacher, Su Lun really knew his disciple too well.

I just took a look around, and there are indeed a few good seedlings in the top ten.

But no one will be Albuquerque's opponent.

Although the others are second-order, they have one more career advancement and one more alchemy farming outfit than him. But the [Seven Orifices Linglong Heart] of the second solution is like a hang up, and it is not a player at the same level at all.

It's like Albuquerque has been calling all the way, and he hasn't used the eight-armed spider spear. Others even thought that his alchemy equipment was some kind of augmented and manipulated hidden equipment.

Su Lun thought with tears in his eyes, "This kid is probably here for the prize for the third place."

He looked at the prize for the third place in the display cabinet, which was a copy of the "Core Structure of the Heart of the Four Color Elements" that was personally marked by Van Holmont, the first alchemist at Lu Ying's court three hundred years ago. It is also the most authoritative and detailed version of the core structure of energy on the market.

Palace collection, ordinary channels simply can't get it.

This is also a good thing that even Su Lun envied before the game.

Although it was the third prize, in his eyes, the value was countless times higher than all the other top ten prizes combined.

But this kind of intellectual treasure is far less valuable to the noble contestants than a good puppet that can immediately enhance the combat power. Because if they want to learn knowledge, the royal library has collections, and the private warehouses of nobles also have them. Spending money to trust relationships can always buy all kinds of profound classics.

So, this knowledge is the third prize.

"Have a heart."

Su Lun looked at the corner of his brow and smiled slightly.

Albuquerque's own level is still in contact with the knowledge of the non-energy core, so this prize is obviously won for him as a teacher.

Even Su Lun had guessed that he was willing to participate in such a boring competition in the first place, probably for the prize.

As for the first and second place silk thread and puppets, they are not attractive to Albuquerque at all. With Su Lun, the teacher of the puppet master, they have no shortage of good puppets.

Sure enough, Albuquerque lost a game in the semifinals. Later in the third-place qualifying match, he solved the opponent within a few breaths and won the third place without any suspense.

Acting without acting.

As a result, Su Lun, who was in the audience, was dumbfounded.

The people who eat melons are also very confused.

Is this the end?

They thought it would be a fierce battle, but they didn't think about that first-order brat, and even took out the puppet to show off, and then directly controlled the silk secret method with one hand to deprive the opponent of the control of the puppet. , ended the battle.

It also set a record for the fastest race time in the top ten.

It is the difference between the actual combat school and the academic school.

Where have noble students experienced life and death struggles, usually academy-style games are usually played well, handsome, and all kinds of big moves come and go.

But in the real combat, a little flaw is enough to decide the outcome.

But even so, it is usually necessary to perform a show to give the opponent a little face.

Albuquerque did not.

Su Lun also felt that his disciple was in the [Organ Puppet Heart] for five years and everything was fine. It was his personality and emotional intelligence. It's hard to describe.

"That little brat named Albuquerque Boyle is so crazy, he actually defeated Roy, the proud disciple of Master Vogt. God, look, Master Vogt's face is so black. "

"It's just luck. Roy's puppet is much better than that kid, and it's all about his carelessness."

"Those country people are fighting bravely, and they will fight to the death for a little profit. The battle just now was obviously a sneak attack, and there was no gentleman's demeanor at all. He was about to fight in an upright manner, and that kid could not be Roy's opponent at all. Hmph~ This kind of victory, if it were me, I wouldn't even bother to win!"

"No! This is obviously a coincidence. In order to win a mere game, there is no gentleman's demeanor at all. It's a shame to say that he is a noble."

"."

It was so easy for Alberk to win that the crowd eating melons in the audience didn't watch it, and everyone became lively.

The nobles naturally replaced the Roy and felt that the victory was invincible;

The civilians stood by Albuquerque, cheering for his victory.

But in the eyes of a real expert, you can see the difference in strength. The old guys from the Puppet Masters Guild saw Albuquerque's exquisite control, all of them looked very strange, but no one dared to speak.

They have naturally heard of Boyle's organization of puppets. The organ puppet was once one of the most glorious puppet inheritances of the empire. But in the past two hundred years, the Boyle family has declined, gradually disappeared, and even withdrew from the imperial capital.

Unexpectedly, the two brothers and sisters who suddenly appeared this time really muddled the water in Lingdun's puppet professional field.

Su Lun listened to the mixed reviews without any qualms.

After all, from now on, regardless of honor or slander, it is the road that the sister and brother must take by themselves.

On the other hand, Karma successfully advanced to the final, facing Elsa Bach, who is also a female puppet master.

This competition for the first place was very lively.

The two female puppet masters naturally drew applause from the audience.

Karma doesn't look like her brother has that kind of puppet talent, she belongs to the category of normal people.

But because the family has been destroyed all these years, he has been thinking about revenge and practicing his puppet skills, so his fighting power is naturally not bad.

In addition, Elsa, who can be accepted as a closed disciple by Grandmaster Aubrey, is naturally excellent. She is also a high-ranking noble, not short of money or a good teacher. Therefore, no matter the puppet, the materials for employment, or the breeding outfit, they are the best choices for her to integrate, and the strength is naturally not weak.

Strongly against each other, the fight was very lively.

"Secret Skill - Ten Phantom Soldiers!"

"Elemental Profound Truth - Storm Song and Dance Troupe!"

"."

In the arena, both sides resorted to the puppet master's iconic crowd tactics.

The collision of the puppet elements of the mechanism puppet is inextricable.

Su Lun watched Kama control more than a dozen puppets by himself, and he was still able to handle it with ease. Obviously, he didn't waste his time these days.

Under the ring, the young master Alex also applauded and supported him from the bottom of his heart. From the smile on this young man's face, it can be seen that there is indeed light in his eyes.

Su Lun was not only watching the game, but also silently observing the group of high-ranking nobles who came to watch the game.

Especially the one with the vampire ring called Augustus.

Su Lun listened carefully to the conversations of those people, only to realize that this Elsa was Augustus' cousin.

God is such a cousin!

What is a wolf in sheep's clothing doing among the little sheep?

From time to time, this guy is arguing with Alex about who can win the championship. After all, their respective fathers are political enemies, and it is justifiable to have a bad relationship.

But if Su Lun felt that his guess was correct, this Augustus was an old monster of the Rodriguez family, then in terms of scheming, these little nobles combined would not be the opponent of this Augustus.

Could it be that he came to join in the fun in order to disguise his identity?

Su Lun was a little puzzled and silently observed everything.

After fighting for a long time, a bunch of puppets were scrapped, but the two women in the ring were still tied.

Before this game, in order to ensure relative fairness, it is not allowed to use puppets above the third rank.

But seeing that there was no winner or loser, the organizer temporarily changed the rules, allowing the two to use any puppet they could control.

This rule is obviously a bit biased.

How could it be compared to a puppet, the Boyer lineage of a low-level noble noble, how could it compare to Elsa, a big noble and a disciple of the president of the puppet guild?

If not, after this rule was changed, Elsa directly took out a set of fourth-order [Element Seven Dwarfs] golden puppets.

The seven elements of earth, wind, water, fire, light, darkness, and wood are used as puppets, each with its own magical effect.

This is a step down version of the dark gold puppet set by Grandmaster Aubrey.

Although this Elsa is only Tier 2 and cannot be fully controlled, this set of puppets has both offensive and defensive capabilities. Even against a real Tier 4 professional, it is almost invincible.

As soon as this set of puppets appeared, it really showed how the noble puppet masters fought.

It also allows the audience to see the power of money.

Just when everyone thought that Kama would be defeated, the only second descendant of the Boyle organization's puppet lineage also took out the [Thousand-Phone Battle Demon] handed down from her family.

Although there was only a part of it, when the puppet was on the upper body, all the audience's expressions became strange, expecting, sighing, shocked, and puzzled.

Karma's controller has dozens of puppet arms of various organs, whirring in the ring, steel cables, hinges, poisonous needles, poisonous gas. This means of greeting, instantly brought the final to another climax.

This scene also stunned those melon eaters under the ring, shouting wonderful.

Except for the group of people who had seen the [Organ War Demon] on the cruise ship, the others looked at the treasures inherited from the Boyle family and were all shocked.

"Is this still a puppet?"

"God, what the hell is this? How can a puppet be made like this?"

"You don't know that! A hundred years ago, Boyle's lineage of war demons has been in the field of puppet professionals. Wudi's hand. I heard that a part of it was lost, and now it seems that there are only a hundred arms."

"This is too shameful. She is hidden in the puppet, and she can't even reach it. How can Miss Elsa win?"

"Why didn't you say it was unfair when you changed the rules just now? Well, since it's all about the background, let's see who has the deeper background."

"That's right, puppets are part of the puppet master's strength, so there is nothing fair or unfair."

"."

Su Lun watched the fierce battle on stage, and his eyes flashed from time to time.

If there is no restraint method, the complete [Organic War Demon] can have an almost undefeated absolute defense among the fifth and sixth rank professionals.

With this move, Karma is probably invincible.

Before taking out the puppet, Su Lun also clearly found that Karma had seen herself under the stands.

As if asking for permission: Teacher, can I use it?

Su Lun nodded.

This girl Kamana dared to fight with all her strength.

Probably because she wanted to prove something in front of her teacher, and also to justify the inheritance of their Boyle organization's puppet lineage. She showed a very serious attitude towards this game.

She needs a victory too much to prove herself.

Su Lun understands Karma's mood.

Because she is really not easy.

Obviously at an innocent age, but she has carried too much.

The feud of genocide and the burden of inheritance were all placed on the shoulders of the little girl who was less than ten years old at the time.

For revenge, he endured humiliation by the enemy's side for many years in the pirate circle.

Silently guarding his trapped younger brother, he practiced his puppet skills.

That kind of sadness is not clear in a few words, she needs an outlet to express her emotions.

Su Lun smiled encouragingly as he looked at the eyes that glanced at him from time to time even during the battle.

Karma is no longer afraid.

This "National Puppet Master Competition" has played to the present, and no one expected the situation.

The audience feasted their eyes and saw a truly wonderful puppet master battle.

The competition also attracted a lot of newspapers in Lingdun, and the reporters also took photos of the two puppet masters who shined in the final.

It can be imagined that tomorrow's report will definitely set off a wave of puppets in Lingdun again.

But the so-called competition, in the eyes of the nobles, is actually their default gold-plated.

The noble lady who had never experienced setbacks since she was a child is getting more and more angry.

She has always been the first since she was a child, and she will never allow herself to be second!

But Kama's family legend [Organ War Demon] is too strong to lose.

It is not easy for both sides to win.

Also because it has now been changed to an unlimited competition, Miss Elsa, who has been invincible for a long time, became more and more unwilling, so she took out a curse that cost a lot.

This did not frighten the noble ladies and gentlemen who were watching the battle.

Fortunately, it was stopped by the organizers, and finally it was a draw and tied for first place.

A puppet master contest with some minor disturbances came to an end like this.

Su Lun was inconspicuous in the crowd. The award ceremony was going on, and he didn't leave the young master Alexis for Kama to celebrate.

Instead, he left the arena with the crowd.

At the door, I met Albuquer who slipped out after taking the prize.

Su Lun smiled and said, "Why didn't you stay and take a picture?"

Alberk spread his hands and said, "Teacher, this kind of competition is boring. If it wasn't for this prize, I wouldn't come."

Su Lun raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and said, "It's good to know more about your colleagues. Other puppet master factions also have many merits."

Albuquer said with a serious face: "It's because of the teacher's teaching that I came here. But they are too weak, especially those nobles only use puppets as tools, and no one really appreciates and understands puppets. Art. Those old men from the puppet union are quite good. After two years, I can beat them, and I will definitely come and learn from them."

Su Lun listened and laughed.

He also knew that his disciple was not arrogant, but really found it boring.

In the eyes of geniuses, professionals of the same rank are not opponents at all.

Su Lun didn't say much. He only thought of some of the situations he had guessed before, and warned: "Be careful, Lingdun has not been calm recently. If you encounter problems that cannot be solved, contact me as soon as possible."

Alberk said: "I see, teacher."
