Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 188: Princess Theresa
Transition chapter, don’t jump if you don’t like it.
When Su Lun returned to the camp, the news that Miss Theresa's team was attacked had already spread back.
Although no one knew what was going on, extra guards were obviously posted at the city gate. You can even see second-level professionals personally guarding the city gate, checking for suspicious people entering the city.
But this has no impact on Su Lun.
Because too many people from the inner city have come to the hunting camp recently, the entrance fee has skyrocketed, and the hotel accommodation has long been full. Ordinary hunters cannot afford to live in the city, so many of them pitch tents near the camp walls.
This is also convenient for Su Lun.
He randomly found a place in the tent area near the city wall away from people's sight and teleported into the city.
The inspections in the city are also extremely strict.
He returned to the Rose Hotel. Not long after he stayed, he encountered a knock on the door for inspection.
Because he had an almost perfect fake identity, he could easily get away with it.
Su Lun did not run around, but stayed at the hotel to meditate and digest the fifth-level knowledge stripped out today
Su Lun harvested his memories and realized that people in the ground world did not absorb dark spiritual power to advance, but normal spiritual power.
He also learned that there were many factions of ancient alchemists. The normal ones were called "Light Warlocks", and there were also "Dark Warlocks", "Necromancers", "Shadow Warlocks" and "Poison Warlocks" with different training systems.
Except for the Light Warlock, the others are all niche factions.
This dungeon belongs to the "dark warlock" lineage.
For the next few days, Su Lun was almost completely immersed in digesting knowledge and understanding the super-level laws that were beyond his current level.
It was a pleasant and magical experience, as if every minute and every second gained a lot.
Su Lun ate everything in one breath like a whale.
After digesting it, he finally understood what those so-called "extraordinary level barriers" were.
It turns out that when you stand at a high place, the scenery you see is really different.
The peaks that I once thought were difficult to climb are just shorter hills, which can be seen at a glance
This day.
Suellen is in the hotel room.
Silk threads hang a room full of books, and the eight-armed spider spear with both hands is quickly flipping through these books in the air.
This is the set of Black Tower Academy textbooks that Mr. Hei gave him.
Although I have read it countless times, there are still many contents that I cannot understand.
Now Su Lun glanced at ten lines, flipping through it at an extremely fast speed, and found the content that had been marked as difficult to understand.
Especially those alchemy knowledge that needed to be comprehended and understood by oneself before, can now be understood almost at a glance.
For a long time,
Finally I scanned the classics and found that nine out of ten labels were removed.
Su Lun took a long breath and said, "I used to think that the people at Black Tower Academy had an amazing amount of knowledge. Those high-level professionals in the outside world are really eye-opening."
Even in the ground world, fifth-level professionals belong to the category of masters.
That "Groat Leicester" was the captain of the **** of Archduke Raphael, and was a graduate of the "Ruying Imperial War College".
His knowledge is amazing.
Closing those tomes, Su Lun's face was filled with energy, and he murmured in his heart: "I have almost mastered the knowledge of first- and second-level alchemy. Now I am almost proficient, and I can directly start using third-level runes and enchantments. , the rune puppets can be strengthened again."
Now he almost fully realizes the meaning of the sentence "knowledge is truly a priceless treasure".
Yecai also deeply understood the inconvenience of [Death Reaper] being designated as an S talent.
Before, this talent harvested professionals of the same level, and I didn’t think much of it. Now he has crossed three major levels to harvest, and there is a wave of fatness.
The significance of knowledge harvesting is definitely not comparable to harvesting a few banned items!
There is a threshold for each advancement on the road to transcendence after the third level. It does not mean that the dark spiritual power reaches the standard and you can advance by finding the materials. It is also necessary to understand the corresponding laws. This is the biggest shackle that has truly trapped countless alchemists to death
After Su Lun digested the knowledge in his mind, he suddenly thought of something and suddenly held the Warlock Seal with both hands.
The seven-pointed star mark was slowly lighting up, but Su Lun seemed to sense something and frowned. The Warlock Seal changed again, the seven-pointed star lost one corner and turned into a six-pointed star.
As soon as the technique was completed, when I looked at it again, the skin on his body suddenly became like pure gold, with an indestructible metallic texture visible to the naked eye.
This is clearly a form of flesh-and-blood alchemy [King Kong].
The original [King Kong] is a fifth-level spell. It is so complex that it may be barely usable at the fourth level, but third-level and second-level professionals cannot understand it at all.
But Su Lun can understand it completely.
But this is somewhat different from the dazzling appearance of the fifth-level professional's gold paint. The gold paint on Su Lun's body still has a faint black tinge.
The spells activated by dark spiritual power are slightly different.
However, the complete technique consumes a lot of energy, and Su Lun's current body and dark spiritual power cannot support it.
Because I understand this technique thoroughly, I also stepped back a bit.
The essence of this technique is to condense gold elements into layers of highly condensed substances on the body surface, like overlapping gold foil stickers.
With a few more layers, the defensive power will decrease, but after all, Su Lun doesn't need a defense that can block fifth-level attacks.
Retiring is enough.
Su Lun felt his body.
I took out the dagger and poked it. It felt like it was cutting through metal. The sharp dagger did not leave any scratches on the skin.
Without any thought, he drew out his musket and shot himself in the palm of his hand.
"Bang!"
The sound of gunfire echoed in the room.
With soundproofing, there is no need to worry about affecting neighbors.
Su Lun looked at the deformed warhead in his hand, his eyes indifferent.
Then, he changed to alchemy bullets.
Another shot.
This time, the alchemy bullet made a slight dent on the skin, but it healed instantly.
After firing two shots to test, Su Lun had roughly measured the defense of this technique, and thought: "Both physical and demon defenses are very high, and it can block at least the attacks of third-level professionals in a short period of time. Attack. But it consumes a lot of money. And the muscles are solidified, which obviously affects agility."
The reason why the fifth-level "Groot Lester" is so powerful is not only because of his spells, but also because of his profession and alchemy equipment.
Su Lun is very satisfied that a puppet master can achieve this level with this kind of flesh and blood alchemy.
At least it gave him the ability to truly save his life in front of third-level professionals.
And this time, Su Lun also gained another complete skill [Extreme Air Step] after stripping it off.
Skilled bodywork that requires high strength, high agility, and high skill support.
This fits him very well.
This is an advanced version of Kai's ghostly movement technique.
To put it simply, it is "stepping on the air".
Su Lun tried it when he came back a few days ago, and it felt very good to be able to jump into the air briefly.
In a short distance, it can move several times faster than the eight-armed spider spear.
Agility and skill are only passive attributes. Before, his own physical attributes were very high, which almost met the minimum requirements for this skill.
But it can’t be used.
Because the "muscle overload micro-control technique" is the key.
It takes countless exercises to develop that subtle sense of control.
It's like learning to ride a bicycle. It just looks like you have legs, but you have to find the balance point to master this skill.
One peeling off allowed Su Lun to easily master this advanced movement technique that had not been seen in ten years of hard training in numerous melee professions.
One defense, one escape, greatly increasing the means to save one's life
As evening approached, Su Lun was tinkering with his new puppet in his room, but at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the window.
"Come and see, Princess Teresa's team has arrived outside the camp!"
"Wo! I heard that it is difficult for the big shots in the inner city to see the little princess, but I didn't expect that she would come to hunt for wild animals. This is a rare opportunity, let's go and have a look"
"Hey, what a huge battle. Those guards at the Duke's Palace feel so strong"
""
I don’t know whether it was because the large army was moving slowly, or because it encountered an ambush and slowed down its progress. The lady from the Duke's Palace arrived at the camp after a few days of delay.
Su Lun listened to the movement outside the window, leaned against the window and looked in the direction of the sound.
He chose this room before because the view was wide enough, and he could just see the camp gate and the main street from the room.
Su Lun looked over.
The princess's pomp was huge, and there were probably hundreds of people accompanying her.
Everyone gathered around a special steam mechanical locomotive in the shape of a carriage.
There were also people in the team holding flags embroidered with the harp and lion patterns representing the Raphael expert family and the exclusive noble crest. The guards were dressed in uniform dark blue uniforms, with sword-wielding heavy armor wearing cross helmets in front. There were dozens of people dressed as maids and slaves, as well as housekeepers, tutors, and cooks
"There are so many strong people"
Su Lun squinted and looked at it.
This kind of standard configuration for high-class nobles to travel allowed him to distinguish the priorities at a glance.
Except for Miss Teresa's personal maid, the closer she is to the motorcycle, the stronger she becomes.
Because he had some memories of peeling off fragments before, Su Lun felt that some people's faces looked familiar, but he couldn't recognize them.
A fifth-level guard captain died, and there were obviously other fifth-level guards in the team. The white-faced man in military uniform with the brim of his hat pulled low was obviously him.
Near him, there were strong elemental fluctuations lingering all around the dozen or so robe warlocks. Others might not understand what it meant, but Su Lun knew that it was the representative defense method of fourth-level warlocks - "Elements". barrier".
Obviously, this is still a protective force on the surface, but I don’t know what it is secretly.
This team is ridiculously strong
Before Dawn Camp, it was a war town that existed for wilderness hunting, and there were no streets that were too spacious.
The procession entered through the city gate and stopped in front of the narrow street.
The knights knelt down on one knee, and the maid opened the motorcycle door. An old nun stretched out her hand and pulled out a veiled girl. She wore a wide-brimmed hat with a pink bow, a floral skirt and simple leather boots. She was not dressed up, but when she appeared on the stage, she felt a sense of nobility, as if she appeared in a black and white scene. A burst of color attracted everyone's attention.
Su Lun glanced at it, narrowed his eyes, and had no intention of looking.
The eldest lady of the Duke's family will be in trouble if you see her too much.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw Qianjou whom I hadn’t seen in a few days.
Su Lun greeted: "Sister Qiantiao."
"Yeah."
Qianjou responded feebly, with a tired expression as if he had been gambling for days and nights again. He walked in the door and muttered: "Oh, I'm finally back."
As she said that, she went straight into the bathroom, took off her dirty clothes and threw them out, "Please help me hang them up."
""
Su Lun looked at the naked back and raised his brows helplessly. This young gambling-addicted woman was really becoming more and more invisible. I had to block before, but now I don't even have to protect my chest.
The sound of water in the bathroom is gurgling,
Su Lun is concentrating on making puppets in the room.
Not long after, Qianjo came out from the shower.
She was wiping her hair with a towel and said, "Are you free tonight?"
Su Lun continued to play with his puppet, "It's nothing."
Qian Jiao said in a questioning tone: "Then you change clothes and accompany me to a cocktail party?"
"Cocktail party?"
Su Lun raised his head and glanced at her, feeling that her tone was slightly different.
Qianjou responded: "Yes. The lady from the Duke's Palace is here, and the big families in the inner city will naturally hold a reception party. Moreover, at the reception, lots will be drawn to allocate hunting tasks. Reina's little Nizi is not in a good situation either. Also, you can pretend to be a new identity and help me avoid trouble when the time comes."
""
Su Lun finally understood this explanation.
Although Senjo is a cadre of the Cross Society, she was originally the second daughter of the Evelyn family in the inner city. Although few people in the outer city knew her identity, the big families in the inner city knew it all.
The character of this gambling-addicted young woman is also very annoying at social drinking parties in the upper class, but she also has to take care of her family.
She can ignore the other receptions, but for the reception that welcomes the lady from the Duke's Palace, all members of the family who can be named must go. No one dares to ignore the authority of the Duke's Palace.
Su Lun heard what she said and wanted to be her male companion?
He didn't mind doing this small favor, but it was the first time he heard Qian Jiao talk about his family affairs, and he felt a little curious.
While he was talking, he watched the gambling-addicted young woman actually take out a blue-black palace dress from her storage ring?
"Hey"
Su Lun looked surprised.
In his impression, apart from kimonos and battle armor, Senjou had never seen her wearing any other style of clothing.
Oh, there are also pajamas and the appearance of being naked.
But
This kind of ladylike skirt worn by high-class ladies? ? ?
Qian Jiao obviously noticed the weird look in his eyes and said angrily: "Hey Su Lun boy, what's that look in your eyes? Do you think I want to wear this?"
Wearing a large floral kimono with a strong social atmosphere to a high-society cocktail party will probably attract more attention than Princess Theresa.
Su Lun smiled and said, "Ah, I think it looks pretty."
Chijou ignored him, dried his hair, and started to put on the skirt in front of the full-length mirror. While putting it on, he complained: "Skirts are so troublesome to put on."
Su Lun couldn't help but stare at her changing clothes.
But after waiting for a moment and hearing no movement, I turned my head and saw something bright in front of my eyes.
Not to mention, the gambling-addicted young woman with her hair high and wearing a palace lady dress looks really good!
