Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 482 If I don't take power, what's the use of Lu Ying?

The masters of Dawn came to support, and there were more than ten people on the block instantly.

Su Lun didn't have the chance to fight again "Frost Knight" Oscar one-on-one, and the duel instantly turned into a big fight.

He lifted the surgeon to seal the knot, and more than a dozen terrifying wax figures appeared around him and rushed into the battlefield.

Not only Qianjo came, but also Mr. Black, Barrett, Red Devil Kai, Kit. Almost all the old members of the old Lington Time Mirror Organization came.

The golden pattern on the cloak shines especially in this night.

Then there are Mr. Mirror's blood descendants, "Blood Duke" Moore Wordsworth led a group of vampires, turned into giant bats and swept wildly.

In an instant, the huge lighthouse block became a piece.

The melee of the sixth- and seventh-order professionals was extremely exaggerated, and all kinds of high-level warlocks were bombarding indiscriminately. Buildings collapsed piece by piece, and the ground was cracked inch by inch.

Because it is a prepared ambush, even those who have distorted the outer god believers are not afraid of life and death, Su Lun and these people also have an absolute advantage in combat power.

The battle ceased after less than half an hour, and all six aberrations were killed.

But what makes Su Lun regretful is that, except for "Frost Knight" Oscar's soul, which is still intact, the others are severely deformed monsters. The six monsters added up are not as good as a demon monk.

The only thing that can be considered good news is that these top-level aberrations have more evil spirits and parasites in their bodies.

But the corpse decomposed quickly, and Su Lun had already "sucked up" before, thinking it was a bit of a waste.

But I didn't expect to communicate with Wordsworth, an old vampire who had lived for seven hundred years, and found that the vampires have also figured out some very special blood-sucking experiences in the long years.

Su Lun has also mastered a secret technique that can absorb life essence beyond the body's capacity.

And because of physical problems, vampires can directly absorb the blood of almost any creature (eat fish without spitting bones). But this kind of divine law contaminates the blood, and there is a hidden danger of distortion if it is sucked.

Su Lun shared Augustus's experience of stripping away blood-sucking impurities, and both sides gained something.

The battle on the Beicheng side is the battle of Lu Ying's top dignitaries. In addition to eliminating monsters, it is also a struggle for power and profit.

Dawn is a neutral organization and has no interest in going to war.

Su Lun and the others didn't run around, they just wandered around several large factories near the lighthouse area, cleaning up all kinds of distortion monsters.

Waiting, maybe those evil gods will send experts to attack and kill them.

It would be helpful to be able to hold back a bit.

A group of people scattered, looking for aberrations in various factories to clean up.

Their strength is in Nancheng, and it can be said that as long as they don't come to the eighth-order professional, they are basically fine.

Even high-level aberration monsters can be killed together in three or two.

Su Lun teamed up with Chijo, who had not seen him for a long time, to clear the monsters.

The two walked all the way, and the block was full of corpses.

The swordsman professional is indeed one of the most powerful professions, and Qianjo can kill these aberrations several times faster than Su Lun.

The movement of the two of them attracted a group of monsters. Before Su Lun could make a move, she slashed lightly with her knife, and cut all the monsters into two pieces like chopping melons and vegetables.

Every time she killed a monster, the phantom of the Rakshasa behind her became more solid and murderous.

After a while, cleaning up a wave of monsters in the dormitory building also stopped for a while.

Su Lun watched Qianjo idle, and then chatted, "Sister Qianjo, have you entered the sixth rank?"

During the battle just now, he could see that Qianjo's strength was much stronger than when they separated. But I haven't seen you for less than two months. I used to be at the fifth rank. Now I don't talk about the sixth step, and I even understand the field. During this period of time, not only did I improve myself, but my partners were also amazing.

Qianjo put the knife back in its sheath, glanced at Su Lun, and responded, "Yeah. I went to Xenodia before, and it happened that Mr. Wordsworth had a collection of thunder materials that were very suitable for me. I tried After the fusion, it will be advanced."

They looked at each other, probably since they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and there was a touch of intimacy in their eyes that they had reunited after a long time.

This gambling-addicted young woman is not shy at all, hooking Su Lun's shoulder as usual, saying that she is a brother and walks forward.

At this time, she seemed to see the black light crown on Su Lun's head, and she wondered, "Hey, this crown is a curse? It looks good."

As she said that, she joked again: "Well, it matches your temperament as 'Prince Fick'."

Su Lun raised his brows, ignoring her teasing, and simply explained: "This is the inheritance crown of Rhaegarland. It is used to assist the realm of comprehension. , seems to have touched a little threshold."

Speaking of this, he thought of something, and then asked back: "By the way, Sister Qianjo, how did you realize your own domain?"

When Qianjo heard this, he showed an expression of incomprehension: "Ah, there is still a threshold for this 'domain'?"

She pondered for a moment, and then added: "Isn't that the sixth step, you can master it if you stabilize the realm a little?"

Su Lun looked at her "it's not necessary to have a hand" expression, rolled her eyes, and said faintly: "You think everyone is like you, and you've entered the Sword Saint Realm at the fifth rank?"

The relationship between the two was very familiar, and he didn't know that Qianjo was not in Versailles.

But it is purely a tendon, it just feels very simple.

Qianjo's dedication to kendo and flawless sword heart made her realize her "Thunder Sword Intent" at the fifth rank and entered the Sword Saint Realm. This is also the reason why she understood the field so smoothly.

And there is another reason, that is, her talent for the [Rakshasa Girl] of Sanjie that no one has ever seen before.

After research, Mr. Jing commented that this talent even allows Qianjo to have a high probability of ignoring the eighth-order threshold.

Chijo looked at Su Lun's serious face, and realized that he was asking sincerely.

She just thought for a moment and replied: "On the way to Lingdun, I killed a seventh-order sea monster, and I realized it immediately. I remember the feeling at that time, probably it was... peeping into the world that was originally hidden. The power of some special rules?"

Unconsciously.

Su Lun listened with a helpless expression.

The field is the professional's own perception of the world and their own career. Everyone's perception is different, and it is indeed unclear.

What's more, Qiantiao, this reckless woman, has understood it in a confused way, how can she tell others clearly?

If not, after explaining two sentences, he was at a loss for words, and Qianjo shouted impatiently: "Oh, I can't explain the feeling. Anyway, I think you will definitely understand if you fight more."

Su Lun couldn't help laughing and crying.

Obviously, this gambling-addicted young woman is more interested in other issues than this.

Qianjo hooked Su Lun's neck, the fire of gossip was burning, and the topic jumped very steeply: "Oh, I have read all the newspapers these days. Su Lun, you married a very beautiful noble lady. I feel How about it?"

Su Lun listened, rolled his eyes, and corrected, "That's Fick, not me. It's just a collaboration, you know."

"Ah!"

Qianjo was full of jokes, obviously not believing.

She naturally knew that marriage was cooperation, but she was more curious about the hidden story, and added, "The newspaper said that you and that noble lady haven't been out in the Rose Manor for a few days. Tsk tsk. The Lance family's little princess experience. Is it really that great?"

As he said that, he raised his eyebrows ambiguous, implying full of meaning.

The reason he stayed for a few more days was because he wanted to plot against William and the demon monk, and Su Lun didn't tell anyone about this.

Looking at the fire of gossip burning in Qiantiao's eyes, he wanted to explain. But the thought flashed for a moment, and the thought was dismissed. Instead, he pretended to be frivolous and said, "My evaluation is not as good as Sister Qianjo."

"???"

Qianjo was stunned for a moment, and it took a moment to understand what he said.

Looking at Su Lun again, she said with a faint look: "Hey, hey, you stinky boy, you need to be beaten."

Su Lun listened to the "threatening" tone, didn't care at all, and laughed.

Qianjo was also welcome, locked his neck and punched him in the head.

With a "dong" sound, Su Lun was in pain and made a hoot.

The two of them cleaned up zombies on the street, occasionally bickering, and it was quite joyful.

The fighting strength of Dawn's group is extraordinary, and the speed of clearing aberrations in the lighthouse block is very fast.

Before the zombie wave infected everyone, they almost killed them all.

Originally, Su Lun and the others had already made preparations. To kill monsters on such a large scale, the people of the Priory of Giants would definitely have some action.

But I didn't think that, in the few hours of slaughtering monsters, apart from the initial wave of "Frost Knight" Oscar, there were no masters behind.

This made Su Lun feel a little puzzled.

But the communicator is reporting the battle situation in Lingdun city at any time.

Although the zombie infection in the civilian area of ​​Nancheng is very serious, the actual decisive victory is still on the top nobles in Beicheng.

The three congressmen Raphael, Lance, and Roberts hoarded heavy troops in advance. There were airships in the sky and warships at sea.

Several big families who supported the Outer Gods sect were beaten to the ground.

The situation is very good.

But under the smooth sailing battle, the turning point came very suddenly.

Just when everyone thought that it was because the [Scarlet Potion] had not been released on a large scale, and the Outer God had not been able to organize the resistance force due to insufficient preparation, a shocking news came.

Beacon District, in the corpse-ridden workshop of the Birmingham Textile Factory.

As soon as Su Lun got the message of the assembly, he and Chijo rushed over immediately.

The moment the two came, Barrett and Wordsworth also arrived one after another.

Seeing Mr. Hei's extremely serious expression, everyone knew that something was wrong.

Barrett was the first to ask, "Mr. Black, what's the matter?"

Mr. Hei is the chief intelligence officer of Dawn, and almost all information will be compiled in his hands. He looked at the crowd and said solemnly, "Just got the latest news. Master Pierre was hit hard."

what!

Hearing this, everyone including Su Lun was stunned, and all of them were shocked.

Master Pierre is a ninth-order professional, can Lu Ying still hurt him?

Su Lun's eyes flashed solemnly, and he quickly asked, "Then the outer god has come?"

After much deliberation, this is the only possibility.

But not wanting, Mr. Hei shook his head, "No."

Then he said a message that made everyone's faces change suddenly, "It was Queen Charlotte who ordered the two eighth-order palaces to consecrate Master Pierre!"

Hearing this information, everyone was stunned.

Although they knew that the current climate of the Monastery of Giants is that the Bona Royal Family is behind the support, how could they not figure out that the dignified Empress Lu Ying would let Master Pierre, the emperor's Dinghaishenzhen, sneak attack?

If it was said that the Queen herself was a believer of the Outer Gods, it would be fine, but Su Lun just confirmed it a few days ago, she is not!

Although the Bona Royal Family is decadent, there are many masters in the palace, and it is definitely not easy for the followers of the outer gods to penetrate.

And now the situation is that a wave of distortion broke out in Lingdun, causing millions of casualties. No matter how blind they are, they all know that those followers of the Outer Gods have a devastating effect on Lu Ying's political situation.

Instead of joining forces to deal with the outer gods, they discounted their mainstay?

Mr. Hei continued: "The specific information is still unclear. I received information before that the Queen invited Master Pierre to the Frederick Palace to discuss countermeasures. Then a fierce battle broke out not long after entering, and Pierre was arrested. The heavy hit came out. This is the latest information from two minutes ago."

When everyone heard this, they fell into silence.

Thoughts raced through Su Lun's mind.

Master Pierre is the main force in dealing with the advent of the outer god. If this one has an accident, it will be a big deal.

It seems that the whole Lingdu is lively, but everyone knows that the final decision of the disaster is the collision of the top alchemists headed by Master Pierre and the outer god of the Giant Monastery.

Su Lun couldn't figure out why the Queen stabbed in the back anyway, but he also knew that there was no delay.

Waiting here is definitely pointless.

He glanced at everyone and said solemnly, "I'm going to go and have a look."

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood and nodded.

The rest stayed in Nancheng to clean up the monsters, and Su Lun shifted in space and appeared several kilometers away.

I asked Mr. Mirror with a communicator, and she happened to be watching the battle near Frederick's Palace.

Su Lun sensed the spatial coordinates left on his senior sister, and teleported in that direction many times. In the blink of an eye, he had already crossed the Rocovalen River and came to the vicinity of the Royal Bank of Shenghui Avenue in the North City.

The last teleportation, the surrounding scene changed, and he appeared in an attic.

Su Lun distinguished the location and remembered that it was the residence of "Marquis Agnes".

As soon as he teleported over, he saw his senior sister standing in front of the window with a serious expression.

Su Lun asked directly, "Senior sister, what happened?"

Mr. Jing's eyes were complicated, and he didn't say much. He motioned for him to look out the window and said, "You can see for yourself."

Su Lun walked to the window and saw the dense head of people at a glance.

At this moment, there are tens of thousands of people piled up in the square of Frederick's Palace.

The armor of the aristocratic private soldiers has the noble coat of arms of their respective families, so Su Lun recognized at a glance that those people were the "Blue Cross Heavy Cavalry Regiment" of the Lance family, the "Black Griffin Pike Regiment" of the Roberts family, and the others. There are ten marquis, earl's private army.

Then there are the "Golden Lions Corps" and "Dark Judge Army" of Lu Ying's military.

There were even MI personnel in black trench coats.

Of course, the most eye-catching and the most numerous are the two legions of Archduke Raphael's "Super Mechanical Warriors" and "Mechanical Warcraft"! They are very numerous, and they are a huge piece of black.

Archduke Raphael, Archduke Reims, Archduke Roberts, and three members of Congress were all present.

Even, almost all of the top professionals in Lington are here.

Seeing this scene, Su Lun became even more puzzled.

No one from the Outer Gods saw one, all of them were from the opposition, obviously the battle was going well.

But how could people still plot Master Pierre?

At this moment, the palace complex with the sapphire blue spire collapsed by a small half. It was obvious that it had experienced a fierce battle just now.

And there was a large space in the square outside the palace, and no one dared to approach it.

A rickety old man covered in blue-gold flames was floating in the air, and he was Master Pierre.

On the ground not far away, lay a corpse with a large hole in its chest.

Where did Su Lun not recognize that the corpse was Quinn Andrew, one of the two eighth-order enshrinements of the royal family. This is the great master of the poisonous warlock, and is known as the alchemist with the most thorough research on toxins in the world today!

When Su Lun saw this, he had already guessed something. Then, when he looked at the blue-gold flame on Master Pierre's body, he didn't guess anything: "Master Pierre is forcibly suppressing the toxin with [No Waiter]?"

He had seen Master Pierre's state with his own eyes at the Full Moon Ball. Knowing that this old senior is near the end of his life, walking is very difficult. But now that he is releasing spiritual power like this, it is tantamount to burning his lifespan, which is obviously a serious injury.

Su Lun's eyes twitched, and she glanced at Mr. Jing beside her. Her eyes were extremely solemn, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

His eyes turned to the other side of the confrontation.

The white-haired old woman with the crown, who was hiding behind the palace's magical defense barrier and surrounded by a group of palace guards, was naturally Queen Charlotte, the current ruler of Lu Ying.

However, what made Su Lun care about was not the palace guards, but the middle-aged man with a beard with a mechanical skeleton attached to the body beside the old woman.

"Marfa Third Navy Commander, Admiral "Steel Beamon" Burton Crist? Why is this guy here? "

Although Su Lun was unfamiliar with Marfa's people, he had seen the information on those top figures.

He never expected that Queen Lu Ying would be surrounded by Marfa soldiers who were enemies.

Moreover, looking at the posture, what kind of cooperation does the Queen seem to have with this Burton?

In the square outside the palace, the two sides did not fight, but the atmosphere of the confrontation looked very bad.

When Su Lun came, he was listening to the conversation between the two sides.

Queen Charlotte asked sternly: "Pierre, do you remember the status of your royal family? Do you still remember that you were favored by the royal family to advance to the ninth level? I didn't think you would betray the royal family! You betrayed the party and government before. You don't need to support the royal family when it changes, but now you still want to support the rebellion?"

Pierre listened to this and sighed: "Your Majesty, this minister has never forgotten his identity. The duty of the court worship is to protect the continuation of the empire and the alchemy civilization. This is the sanctity that His Majesty Peter bestowed upon the court worship team when he established the empire. right."

Having said this, the old man hesitated for a moment, and seemed to feel that it was meaningless to elaborate, and only said: "From the beginning to the end, the old minister did not feel that he did anything wrong."

Hearing this conversation, Su Lun guessed that they were talking about the "Bummoon coup".

Outsiders don't know what happened at the beginning, but he heard Ekaterina tell the story.

Bona IX was weak and incompetent, and Charlotte was the one who actually controlled the regime.

This old woman has completely emptied the royal rights of the Bona family, and the royal family exists in name only. She also wants to support her matrilineal family and completely usurp power. Then, in the process of seizing power, there were a series of salacious manipulations, which made the people's livelihood difficult, and more importantly, touched the interests of the old-fashioned aristocrats.

Then there was the mechanical revolution and the foggy coup, and they were directly removed from power.

Then came a bizarre restoration.

Now it seems that it must also be secretly supported by the Priory of Giants.

And Yekaterina also said that without her teacher's words, the Bona royal family would have been sent to the gallows long ago. It is the old man's credit that the queen can live to this day.

Queen Charlotte didn't appreciate it at all, and her eyes flashed coldly, "Hmph, it is useless to talk about the past. I have already said that the old god of the Giants' Priory is the guardian deity of our Lu Ying contract. Since you heard the order, why didn't you retreat? Do you want to rebel?!"

Su Lun's expression changed when he heard this.

At this moment, I suddenly realized.

Only then did he know why this is the situation, why the royal family allowed the outer god to gather faith so wildly.

It turned out to be the "Contract God"!

In the age of dawn, alchemy civilization swept many planes, and they swept many planes with powerful force.

Those gods of other civilizations who resisted were killed; those who surrendered, signed a contract and became the guardian deity of the contract.

Thinking that the Lu Ying Empire scoured the world's treasures and found a contract of gods left over from ancient times.

Only Queen Charlotte dares to do so.

However, this kind of contract was signed under the premise of strength suppression or reciprocity!

The highest level of the Bona Royal Family is only eighth-level, so he actually wanted to sign such a contract with an Outer God?

Not to mention whether this contract is stable or not, and will it be backfired;

What did this old woman think about signing a contract with this evil god who would kill millions of people at every turn?

In the eyes of the gods, humans are low-level creatures such as ants and blood eaters!

A monkey, also dare to seek skin with a tiger?

Not only Su Lun can't figure it out, but others can't figure it out too!

Pierre said earnestly: "Your Majesty, do you know that at least millions of people will die when Lingdu's cataclysm comes. That outer god used your people's recovery to restore the wounds to condense the fire. Such an evil god, you Do you really think he will protect the empire?"

Hearing this, Queen Charlotte sneered with disdain: "Hahaha millions of people? So what? The population is only, it will be filled soon. As long as the royal family is still there, Lu Ying will continue to prosper forever. !"

Hearing this, Su Lun's eyes turned gloomy.

What a vicious guy.

Being questioned in front of tens of thousands of people, the old woman's face was not good-looking, and she sneered: "Besides, I don't trust the ancient gods, I trust you?"

Saying that, she glanced at everyone, "That's how you repay the trust of the royal family?"

"Hey"

Pierre sighed when he heard this.

Just by looking at the expression on the old man's face, he knew that his heart was ashes.

He spoke again and asked three times in a row.

"Your Majesty, you ordered the evacuation of the defenders of the 'Northern Defense First Island Chain' three days ago? Do you know that losing the century-old defense island chain will expose the hinterland of the island to the enemy's attack range, and make The entire empire is in jeopardy?"

"It is reported that you secretly ceded the 'Seven Cities of Teminus' to the Marfa Empire a month ago, but is it true?"

"Now, under the cover of the Royal Navy, let Admiral Marfa by your side appear in Lingdun with heavy troops. What do you think?"

These words were full of lamentation and grief, but also pale and powerless.

The building will collapse, and he will not be able to return to the sky alone.

Pierre questioned to the end, the previous nostalgia in his tone had completely dissipated.

He knew that Her Lady Queen could not answer, and without waiting for her to respond, Huo Feng suddenly became indifferent, and said, "If the price of your power is the collapse of the empire, and the civilized severing veteran, even if it is an injustice on his back, he will Stop it!"

Hearing this, Su Lun was in awe.

He also finally understood why he didn't fight even though he was seriously injured by the sneak attack, but was talking about it for a long time.

This is the master alchemist who has worked hard for the empire for the rest of his life, and he is making the final renunciation with the royal family.

To be benevolent to the royal family is finally coming to an end.

To cede land and betray the country, this is a big scandal!

When she heard the scandal she had done and was spoken out in public, Queen Charlotte's face became ashen, and turned into endless anger.

She didn't hide it anymore, her eyes showed vicious light, and her ambitions were undisguised: "Hahaha, it's ridiculous! You are a worshiper, how can you question the decision of the royal family? The Luying Empire was built by my ancestors of the Bona royal family, if not the royal family. In power, what is the use of this empire? What is the use of you all? If I don’t take power, even if everyone is dead, what is it to me!”

These words show the selfishness, greed and ignorance of human nature most vividly.

After a pause, the old woman shouted violently: "Now I will ask one last question, are you retreating? If you don't retreat, it will be like a rebellion, and you will be killed!"

Pierre heard this, and his tone did not fluctuate any more.

The gentleness in his turbid eyes dissipated, gradually becoming sharp as a ray.

"Maybe one day the empire will collapse, and maybe one day the alchemy civilization will lose its brilliance and be drowned in the dust of history. But not today!"

When he said this, the old man whose life had come to an end had a very calm tone.

But the words are sonorous and eloquent.

Echoed throughout the Palace Square!
