Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 445: Transitional chapters for some small talk

a few days later.

Today is the 865th anniversary of the founding of Luying Royal Academy, and it is also a victory day to commemorate an ancient war. The college prepared a grand celebration and invited many high-ranking people from Lington to attend the meeting.

In the evening, Su Lun changed his clothes and waited on the street for Sabina to pick him up to go to the Royal Academy with him.

It's not that he is interested in any celebration party, but Kit plans to go to the Royal Library to steal the [Isaac's Alchemy Manuscript] today. Su Lun had to be there in person. Also, in case of any special situation, we can help you deal with it.

6:10, exactly the same as the agreed time. A white Gothic steam locomotive decorated with silver horns appeared from the corner and came to a stop on the side of the street.

The female driver with a white jacket got out of the car and opened the door respectfully, and Su Lun sat on it.

As soon as the car door was closed, a scorching hot body clung to it, and there was a soft and numb coquettish voice: "Master, I haven't seen you for a long time, have you missed your dearest maid?"

Su Lun smiled and put his hand around that tender waist naturally.

Sabina is wearing a sexy black low-cut dress today, which is elegant and full of mature charm. Taking a closer look, her expression has a different light than before.

Su Lun asked, "The breeding outfit has also merged smoothly?"

I haven't seen each other for so many days. Naturally, after entering the fourth rank, I merged the breeding equipment by the way.

Sabina's face had an aura she never showed in front of outsiders, "Yes, thanks to your 'Void Elixir', Master, the advancement and fusion went very smoothly. I'm even more powerful now~"

As she said that, she wrapped her arms around Su Lun's neck with a wink. This position seemed inconvenient and more intimate, so she lifted the skirt again, exposing her slender legs to the air.

It was clear that the carriage was very big, but she kept sticking together.

Su Lun raised his eyebrows, "More powerful?"

Sabina smiled and said, "Yes, Master, do you want to try it?"

"Tsk tsk."

Su Lun didn't feel bad either.

The charm of the succubus is in the bones, it is the ultimate enjoyment that will make people addicted.

With his hands free, he asked, "Is there any special information these days?"

Sabiena responded enthusiastically, saying: "Raphael has been very active recently after he became the sixth-largest member of parliament. The biggest thing is to revise the Imperial Armament Act. He used his absolutely crushing technological strength to change the military of Lu Ying. The arms supply list has now become Lu Ying's No. 1 arms dealer. For this reason, some veteran arms families are very resentful and secretly obstructed. However, after the recent assassination of three members of Congress, the voices of opposition on the surface also Disappeared."

Su Lun chuckled: "Hehe, the Lu Ying royal family allows such a method?"

Sabina said: "This is also a strange place. The royal family has no intention of intervening at all. Moreover, there are also several congressmen behind Raphael who secretly support them, and they are also very confident. Preliminary information shows that it is the Lance family and the Roberts family. ."

Su Lun didn't sound too surprised.

Archduke Raphael has been wretched and developed for decades, holding a huge army of super mechanical warriors and super battleships.

Rich, skilled and well-connected.

The level of military industry has far surpassed any veteran arms group of Lu Ying, and it does have the strength to challenge the old noble nobles of the empire.

But the Lance family?

For some reason, Su Lun suddenly thought of Ekaterina.

The Lance family has been operating in the north of Luying for so many years, and their strength is very strong. Just looking at the layout of the four countries in Beizhou, you know that their plans are very big, and they will not simply build bridges for others.

And when Su Lun was killed before, William was on Raphael's super battleship. That is to say, the Regardi family and the Raphael family have secretly cooperated for a long time.

Now the Lance family is marrying Rhaegardi again.

The relationship becomes subtle.

Su Lun also guessed that his "Fick" identity would be a springboard used by Ekaterina. But this marriage is an exchange of interests, and there is nothing to say.

He asked again: "What about other information, what about the situation over the Red Death?"

Sabina said: "The situation is very bad. The Red Death suddenly broke out on a large scale, and now there are cases reported in several large factories south of the Rocco Vallen. However, the official has not made a statement, and it seems that they are still trying to suppress it. This news has not been accurately reported in the newspapers. But according to the data obtained through various channels, the number of infected people is probably already quite large. "

Su Lun's pupils shrank slightly as he listened.

Sabina continued: "On the other hand, the [Scarlet Elixir] produced by 'Bakeqi Biopharmaceutical Company' has passed the sanitation review and is being vigorously produced. Several families who opposed before, except the Lance family and Raphael The Er family is still resolutely resisting, and several other congressmen have compromised. According to the information I have obtained, it is the senior executives of the pharmaceutical company who used shares to buy off the people who divided the other families.”

Hearing this, Su Lun also felt that the seriousness of the matter made people helpless.

After all, if there is no quality problem in the pharmaceutical inspection, there is no reasonable reason to stop the production.

And now they use interests to divide the interior, and four of the six congressmen are in favor. Now it is even more impossible to ban [Scarlet Elixir] from the policy level.

Sabina said: "Because of the dispersal of equity, the interest groups of pharmacy have expanded a lot. This also directly led to the perfunctory attitude of those in the upper echelons of Congress towards the Red Death, and even meant to let the disease spread. I also got They made a top-secret record of their high-level meeting, saying that because there was no special medicine on the market, those pharmacy merchants were not in a hurry to let the [Scarlet Pharmacy] go on the market, but united and hoarded it in their hands, preparing to expand the number of infected people, and then release it. Drug monopoly for profiteering.”

Hearing this, Su Lun's eyes suddenly became solemn.

Those nobles may not necessarily be followers of that outer god. It is only because of greed that he thinks of letting the Red Death spread and making huge profits.

Although the Red Death has a high fatality rate, the process is very long and may torture patients for several months before dying in pain.

If it is not controlled, a few months will be enough time for this disease to infect seven or eight of Lington.

No, it even threatens the entire Luying Empire.

The end of the cruise ship was still fresh in my mind, and it was hard for Su Lun to imagine how terrifying the evil god would be then?

But it is clear that this is a conspiracy of an outer god, and it can't be stopped, which makes people feel that personal power is really pale.

Lu Ying's aristocratic system is really rotten to the core.

In the eyes of the big nobles, the lives of the commoners at the bottom are probably no different from slaves and livestock, and no one will care about their lives and deaths.

This also facilitated the conspiracy of the Outer God.

Su Lun couldn't think of a better solution, and instead asked, "What about tonight?"

Sabina was obviously prepared, and said, "I just got the list of participants before I came. The Royal Academy has invited some alumni from the academy, and there are quite a few big figures in Lingdu high society. Your fiancee, Ekaterina The young lady will be there. Oh, and there will be William of the Rhaegardi family too."

"Oh?"

Su Lun listened with a look of interest.

The steam car drove into the gate of the Royal Academy, and Jike had been waiting for a long time.

After making the bomb, he spent the past few days copying various alchemy books in the academy's library.

Explosives are only a very small branch of pharmacy. Among the tens of thousands of students in the academy, there are no more than one who study "Ammunition Science".

But there are advantages to having fewer people.

Disciplines that no one pays attention to, materials are cheap, and knowledge is also very cheap.

For example, some high-level alchemy formulas, ancient scrolls, and solitary books of knowledge require a lot of credits to exchange for other majors, but about gunpowder, you can read them at will in the library.

It's also convenient for Gek.

Whether you read it or not, just copy it down.

As soon as he got out of the car, Jike, who was waiting by the door, saluted Su Lun respectfully, with a reverent expression: "Teacher!"

He saw Sabina getting off the bus again, and also saluted: "Hello, Madam."

Although she is not a "mistress", he doesn't know that this beautiful lady has an extraordinary relationship with her teacher.

Sabina smiled slightly and praised: "Our little Jike dressed handsomely today."

Gek was a little shy, "Thank you for your compliment."

He was wearing a punk-style dress today.

The fabric is not high-end, and the style is not too special.

Handsome is not in the clothes, but the confidence in his eyes that is completely different from before.

And this confidence comes from Su Lun in front of him.

In the past few days, Jike also deliberately went to the newspaper a month ago to read it. After reading it, he realized how terrifying his teacher's combat power was!

In the battle of the city-state of Moros, it shocked the world with one enemy 200,000 pirates and tens of thousands of beheaded. This was the headlines in all pages of Lington's newspapers, and even related reports lasted for half a month.

However, the reports in the newspapers are only part of it!

Geek used to make explosives in the Little Void Realm a few days ago. He saw Su Lun's large-scale war workshop with his own eyes, and only then did he know that his teacher was not only strong, but also had a profound background.

Mass production of mechanical armors that only the Marfa Empire can manufacture, as well as those mechanical octopuses, rune and golem assembly lines.

Every look is inspiring.

This is something that no one in the Luying Empire can do, not even the royal family.

As a disciple, Ji Ke realized how powerful his teacher was!

No wonder Mrs. Demacula said that as a teacher's disciple, her status was definitely no worse than any noble.

This is the source of Gek's confidence: I have a strong teacher!

Su Lun looked at his disciple, and probably guessed what happened when he saw the sparkle in his eyes, and smiled slightly: "How does the new mechanical prosthesis feel?"

What Gek needs isn't a combat prosthesis, so he doesn't have to get Barrett's pure silver hand. On the contrary, a robotic arm with complex functions can better meet the daily research needs.

So after Su Lun made up for the defects of his fingers with materials, he designed an external mechanical arm with his superb mechanical knowledge.

It is usually folded on the arm with a thin layer of iron, and when unfolded, it becomes a multifunctional mechanical arm, which can meet the needs of some dangerous experiments.

In this way, even if there is another accident next time, you can largely avoid injury to your body.

When it comes to the robotic arm, Jike raised his left hand, and the broken palm is now fully recovered. Because of the bionic skin, it looks no different from a normal palm.

He excitedly said: "Teacher, I feel great, it is exactly the same as my own hand. And the function of the external mechanical arm is also very practical. I have never seen such an exquisite mechanical arm in Lingdun!"

Su Lun saw that he wanted to show the robotic arm on the spot, and stopped him with a chuckle.

After all, the functional exclusive robotic arm will only become more perfect after continuous improvement after trial. He added: "The habit of using it is good. If you have any other functional requirements, you can tell me. I will ask the mechanics of the workshop to modify it for you."

Jake nodded, "Yeah."

Suddenly thinking of something, his expression darkened inexplicably.

After staying in the teacher's war workshop for a few days, Jike saw the world's top mechanical technology and the senior mechanics of Mafa, which also made him deeply aware of the technological advancements of Lu Ying and Mafa. huge gap!

There is a sense of loss when a country bumpkin enters the city and sees a huge gap in everything he sees.

Let him know that he still has a long way to go.

At this time, Jike said seriously: "Teacher, I have thought about the proposal you mentioned before. I decided to go to Marfa to study."

Su Lun listened unsurprisingly, "Oh?"

Gek added: "The Royal Academy is indeed the holy place of traditional alchemy, but the research in mechanical engineering and ammunition is too backward. Only by going to the Marfa Empire can I learn the knowledge I want, and I can also learn in this field. Dig deeper."

Su Lun had long known that he would make such a choice.

A genius in ammunition science, Lu Ying really wasted his talent, feeling like a trapped bird in a cage.

The ceiling is too low to fly high after all.

Although Gek looks good now, it is already shining like a star.

But that's all his talent, a flash of gizmo.

Not enough to make him a great ammunition division.

The more he really understands, the more important Su Lun realizes the importance of systematic knowledge. That will make people take too many detours and go farther.

And only in the Marfa Empire, there is a complete and mature ammunition division system.

Su Lun said: "You just have to think about it. The road ahead is very long. Now that you have chosen, no matter how difficult it is, you have to go on by yourself."

Jike said very seriously: "Yeah! Teacher, I've figured it out!"

Hearing this, Su Lun didn't say much, "That's good. You can handle the academy affairs in the past few days. I will arrange for the study in the future."

"Um."

Jake nodded.

At this time, Sabina on the side subtly saw the reluctance that was quietly suppressed under the resolute light in Jike's eyes when he spoke. She asked with a smile, "Little Jike, have you invited your fellow Phoebe to dinner recently?"

Hearing this, Jike's eyes suddenly became dodged, his confidence just now disappeared, and he stammered: "Ah no. No."

If there was anything he couldn't let go of the Royal Academy, it was his only friend, Phoebe.

Sabina didn't understand, and smiled: "Real love will not fade because of distance and time, but will become more and more mellow. As long as the girl agrees, I will personally hand over the invitation to her family."

Jack has lost his family.

Master's disciple, even if she is an elder herself, she naturally has to care a little bit.

Sabina's words were too straightforward, and Jike was at a loss for a while, and said in a panic, "Ah madam, Phoebe and I are not what you think."

He wanted to say that he and Phoebe were friends, but they didn't necessarily think otherwise.

The meeting outside the small auditorium that day, how could the girl's mind be hidden from Sabina. She didn't have those youthful twists, and said bluntly: "Be brave, that little girl actually likes you very much. When you have a dance party, invite her to a dance."

Before, Sabina originally planned to invite the little girl to eat at home as an elder, but she has been busy advancing to the fourth level recently, so she didn't have time to come.

Just had the opportunity today to help make it happen.

Otherwise, I really have to wait for Jike to speak, and I am afraid that I will miss it.

Hearing this, Jike was still a little hesitant.

Because he has been too humble for more than a year in the academy.

He was so humble that apart from the little sense of achievement in his studies, he felt that everything else was an extravagant hope.

But thinking about the possibility of going to the Marfa Empire to study in the future, if you don't speak, maybe this parting will be a lifetime.

Only then did Jike summon up his courage and replied, "Oh."

PS. It's a bit calvin, sorry for the water.
