Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 11: [The Cursed Hair of the Weeping Witch]

 Su Lun heard this and said in a deep voice: "Okay."

 Originally I just asked, and I didn’t expect to find the right one the first time.

 Then the cloaked man handed over a box.

 There is a circle of silver hair in the box.

  The man continued to introduce: "I don't know what kind of hair this is on the body of the aberration. Maybe Mr. Black knows its origin. But it is the most magical thread I have ever seen, infused with dark spiritual power. You will know me Why do you say it is magical?"

 When encountering unfamiliar materials, the general procedure is to ask Mr. Hei to identify them.

 But Su Lun didn’t need to. He glanced at the material with his omniscient eye and immediately displayed the name.

 【The Cursed Hair of the Weeping Witch】

 Detailed explanation: Heartbroken thoughts, long thoughts, and longer hair; this is a very special curse material, which has the dual-state characteristics of elementalization and solidification at the same time; it has super strong energy conductivity, super strong Toughness, super controllability, super intermittent...

 Seeing the introduction, a strange color flashed across Su Lun's expression.

 Looks like a very powerful person?

Since it was for inspection, he was not polite and twisted the translucent silver hair with his fingers.

 This twisting is like pinching a very thin needle. It is not soft. The fingertips can clearly feel the extraordinary toughness of the silk thread.

 Then the dark spiritual power was poured into it, and a magical scene happened.

 Hair that was originally solid gradually turned into an elemental state of nothingness, and the more energy was poured into it, the more it became almost transparent...and gradually grew longer!

 The hair, which was about one meter long, actually reached two meters before stopping visible to the naked eye.

Su Lun felt as if he was holding a faint "light thread" in his hand. He felt that it disappeared from his sight, but he actually held a small piece of it in his hand.

 And, the most amazing thing is that when you pass it through with your palm, the transparent silk thread is not broken?

 As soon as the infusion of dark spiritual power stopped, it immediately returned to its original flexible solid state.

 Watching Su Lun try, the cloaked man who took out the silk thread also added: "You can feel free to pull it. With this thickness, it is the toughest silk thread I have ever seen. I have tested it before, and ordinary blades can also If you keep cutting it, if you refine it into a plant equipment, it will be even stronger..."

Su Lun pulled slightly, and the thread was inserted into his hand, but there was no sign of breaking, so he didn't try any more.

 He said calmly: "Well, not bad."

  .....

 Su Lun couldn't help but feel happy when he saw this material, even though he was in a good mood.

 Just at this glance, he determined that this was definitely the most suitable thread for a puppet master among the materials he knew so far!

 Now he uses steel wires to control the puppets. Not only is the conductivity of dark spiritual power very weak, but it is also very restricted.

 When using rigid wires in battle, the target is too obvious. The enemy can easily judge the position of the steel wires when they see the puppet. Once the steel wires are cut, the puppet will stop immediately...

 Furthermore, controlling multiple puppets, encountering special environments, and complex battles can easily cause the steel wires to become tangled...

 There is also a length limit...

 There are too many disadvantages of solid steel wire!

  He was still confused before. He once saw Pestoya controlling a puppet in Storm Manor. It was obvious that she was not using solid threads, so he thought it was some special secret method. But I never thought that there would be such a magical curse material in this world.

 This hair can freely switch between solid and elemental bodies, and can also become longer, intermittent, and conduct energy...

 Even if it’s not the same model, this still meets all of Suellen’s needs for puppet lines!

 Oh, praise this magical and weird world!

  .....

At this time, Mr. Hei looked at the tested properties of the thread and said, "If I read it correctly, it should be the hair of a deformed monster called the 'Weeping Witch' recorded in ancient books. That kind of monster is very special. It seems to be a ghost species with physical attack methods. It can penetrate people's dreams..."

 When Su Lun heard this, he secretly sighed that this [polymath] was really knowledgeable and knew everything.

 However, it doesn’t matter what kind of monster it comes from, what he wants is this hair!

 This thing... seems to be only useful to the Puppet Master.

 Hope it’s not too expensive...

Su Lun thought, feeling a little guilty.

Such a magical material, he feels that the loot he got from the gang last time is probably not enough to buy it, at least he will not buy a lot.

 But when Su Lun prayed in his heart not to miss out on such a perfect silk thread because of the price...

 The man in the cloak who took out the silk thread poured a basin of cold water on him before he inquired about the price.

 He said: "However, it is a pity...there are only three materials."

 “Three roots?”

Su Lun frowned slightly as he listened.

 If there are only three sticks, what is the use of them?

  I have taken off my pants, what are you telling me?

 The man seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to say this again after making people's appetites rise. He explained: "When I led a group to go underground, I pulled this out from a corpse near a ruins. That The monster killed people with this hair, but I didn't really see the aberration."

Su Lun understood what he meant and asked directly: "If I need information about the specific location of this material, what price should I pay?"

 The cloaked man didn't seem to be afraid of being exposed, and directly revealed his identity, "This news can be sent to you for free. I am Tu Ze of the 'Red Knight Hunting Group'. If you have any entrusted tasks in the future, you can also take care of me." For a moment."

 After all, in his opinion, those who can be here are high-level professionals, and they may have places to deal with in the future.

 One piece of news and a good relationship is worth it.

  He was also very straightforward, writing an address with the quill on the table, and then handed the note over.

 “It’s actually there...”

Su Lun glanced at the note and recognized that the address pointed to the underground ruins where he traveled through time.

  He frowned slightly, and then said: "If you still have this kind of material, I think I am still interested in acquiring it. Of course, if the hiring price is right, I want to hear what I want to get this kind of material. What price does the material cost..."

 Others don’t know what’s going on with the ruins, but Su Lun does. He didn't know enough about the world before and didn't know what the ruins meant. But now I know...that ruin means "extreme danger"!

 For professional matters, entrusting it to a professional hunting group is the most correct choice.

  Unfortunately, after hearing this, the cloaked man shook his head: "Sorry, my group probably won't go to that ruins in a short time. The group I brought out this time lost 80%, and it will take a long time to repair. Time."

 “…”

Su Lun’s eyes twitched slightly when he heard this.

 This "Red Knight Hunting Group" is a large hunting group with a good reputation in the outer city. There are many second-level professionals in the group.

 But 80% of these were damaged in the battle. How dangerous are the ruins?

 Now Su Lun is in trouble. The professional hunting group is not willing to go anymore. What will happen to the materials he wants?

  .....

At this time, everyone at the stone table became interested because they heard this person reveal his identity and mentioned the ruins.

  Someone then asked: "Captain Tuze, have you just returned from hunting in Dawn City? I just need information about Dawn City. The more detailed the better. Please give me a price..."

 “Yes, I just came back from Auroville.”

 Tuze sighed slightly, seeming to recall some bad experience.

 After a pause, he added: "About that ruins... I can send you some news for free. After all, the news will naturally spread out in a short time."

 Hearing this, everyone turned their heads, as if they were all ears.

 After all, the most powerful thing that has been rumored to people like them recently is the legendary ancient ruins.

 Tuze said: "Our group was the first group to get the news. Everyone also knows that opening up wasteland means huge opportunities. We went with this mentality, and then the nightmare began. Then There are a large number of ferocious and deformed monsters in the caves near the ruins, and they will attack the hunting group at any time... We lost a group of brothers in the battle, and finally reached the edge of the city, only to find that there were many curses in the city. Space, A-level, S-level, even T-level..."

 "As far as I know, our Red Knights have relatively few battle losses. The death rate of other regiments entering the ruins has exceeded 90%, or even the entire army was destroyed. This is only the periphery of the ruins, and there is no one at all now. Can go deep into the city..."

 “…”

 Tuze spoke very carefully, and the crisis between the lines made people feel numb, as if they had experienced a nightmare lie-hunting journey.

 After listening, everyone at the stone table fell into deep thought.

Su Lun doesn’t care about any relics. Wealth beyond his own strength is just to cause trouble.

 He only felt...even more painful.

 Mingming discovered a very strong thread, enough to make a qualitative leap in his puppet control.

 But now you tell me that that thing is in a ruins with a survival rate of less than 10%?

 Su Lun is in some trouble...

  .....

 Tuze continued: "Most of the people who are still in the ruins are the slave land reclamation groups of the big plutocrats in the inner city... Those who have actually been there and come back, probably no one wants to go back. I even guess that the inner city was originally Some guys discovered that ruins, but they found that the people who relied on them couldn't eat at all, so they deliberately revealed the news. Now a large hunting camp is being built next to the ruins. It seems that it won't be long before the plutocrats will organize a big hunting camp. A large-scale hunting operation to clean up the ruins..."

 Some people risk their lives to open up wasteland, and the plutocrats wait for acquisitions with money in the city walls. This is also a normal routine.

 At this time someone asked again.

 "Commander Tuze, I would like to take the liberty to ask, how was your regiment's harvest from that hunting trip?"

 "I can only say that...it is worthy of those brothers who sacrificed their lives."

 This statement is obviously modest.

 Everyone can imagine that the harvest from land reclamation is absolutely astonishing.

 Everyone has a good understanding of the danger of the ruins from the words of the senior hunting leader.

 But after all, the people here are not ordinary people, but high-level professionals.

 After a moment of silence, someone spoke again: "Captain Tuze, I need the detailed route and all the information on your group's last hunting trip. Please give me a price. If possible, I would like to hire a few members of your group. A group member who has walked this road serves as a 'guide'."

 Tuze asked in surprise: "Your Excellency, are you still ready to go?"

 The man nodded: "I have been stuck at the second level peak for a long time, and the advanced materials I need cannot be found in the city. Discovering 'Auroville City' this time is probably my only chance. I must go. Just try your luck..."

 At this point, the other cloaked men were not idle and spoke one after another.

 "Sell me a copy of the information. I happen to have a few slave groups under my command, send them to try your luck."

 “Hey, danger means gain, so sell me a share.”

 "I plan to form a hunting group of high-level professionals. It will be listed in the recruitment column of the hunting union soon. Anyone who is interested can come and meet..."

 “…”

 There is a cursed space, which means there are a large number of ancient high-level cursed objects, even forbidden objects!

 This is not an ordinary temptation.

 Even if it is a real escape from death, it will always stimulate people's gambling nerves.

 If you survive, you will make a lot of money.

 As soon as Tuze said this, more than a dozen people around the round table all asked to buy a piece of information.

Su Lun was standing aside and sighed slightly.

I hope... they can bring back some hair when they come back.

  He was also fortunate that Mr. Hei recommended him to this small circle, and he also had access to high-level alchemy materials and knowledge.

  ......

 Not long after, the small gathering ended. Suellen rode back to Green Street from the black market, only to find a sneaky guy waiting anxiously for something at the door of his basement.

 He felt very surprised that someone actually found his own place?

 “Are you waiting for me?”
