Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 216: Pirates are coming
Suellen has met Mrs. Philo twice.
Once was when selecting the guide for Black Tower Academy, and once when Norton Street opened for business and took a look at it from a distance.
Both times, he felt that this woman was cold, arrogant and sexy, like a superior queen, cold and lustful.
And her identity is also very mysterious.
Before doing this, Su Lun felt that he would never interact with this kind of woman.
But now I see that his eyes are slightly weird.
Because he guessed that Mr. Jing must have other identities in reality.
Has a close relationship with the Reyes family, a close relationship with Senjou, and has a lot of energy in the inner city
There are various signs that this "Mrs. Fino" is Mr. Mirror's disguised identity.
The moment they looked at each other, Su Lun was more sure of his guess.
After all, she wears thin clothes when bathing in the bath. If a strange man breaks in, the eyes of "Mrs. Philo" will definitely be wary and suspicious...
But now, her eyes are extremely calm.
Su Lun called tentatively: "Senior sister?"
"Mrs. Philo" glanced at him and seemed not surprised that he could guess it. She looked a little lazy and nodded: "Yes."
Hearing this response, Su Lun's face instantly lit up.
Really!
I didn't dare to take a closer look before, but now I looked at it with a comparative look. Her facial features were somewhat similar to the family photo I saw in Storm Manor.
However, the photo shows an innocent girl aged eighteen or nineteen, and now she is full of charm.
With this admission, Su Lun instantly felt that the aloof aloofness in her body that was so repulsive to others suddenly dissipated.
There is no such thing as aloofness among acquaintances.
Mr. Jing looked at Su Lun’s appraising and curious eyes, a look of helplessness flashed between his brows. She lay on her back by the pool, exposing her fair and delicate neck. She seemed to be enjoying the feeling of the hot spring moisturizing her skin. She closed her eyes and looked content.
Since they were acquaintances, the weirdness in Su Lun's heart also dissipated. He walked to the edge of the pool and got into the water
Beside the hot spring pool, there are blooming flowers, surrounded by green plants, and only a few clouds of green smoke on the water.
The water in the pool is crystal clear, and the spring water flows down from the bamboo tube, making a pleasant "ding-dong-ding-dong" sound.
Wearing thin linen clothes when soaking in hot springs, once soaked, the figure can be seen clearly.
Suellen glanced at it.
Well, my senior sister has an excellent figure and temperament.
It's not that I have any other thoughts, I'm just curious.
It is said that high-level vampires are immortal and have eternal looks. Is this true?
Or is it a mirror?
Mr. Mirror’s personality is the same as her mother Ceria’s, easy-going and gentle. Su Lun had respect for this senior sister, but she wasn't too angry either.
Curiosity arose in his heart, and he asked directly: "Senior sister, is this your true appearance?"
There is nothing to hide from his junior brother.
Mr. Jing naturally noticed the appraising gaze and guessed what Su Lun was thinking, so he only responded lightly: "Yeah."
Wow
It felt like I had discovered a little surprise.
Su Lun thought that her senior sister, who had lived for a thousand years, was an old woman wearing a cloak all day long, but it turned out that her appearance was eternal.
At a glance, this legendary vampire bloodline is a bit unbelievable.
Live long and look good
There were only two people in the huge pool, and it seemed a bit awkward not to chat.
Su Lun was curious and asked simply, "Senior sister, are you a bloodline that was transformed the day after tomorrow?"
Since she is the eldest daughter of Sir Isaac, she must be human.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that my master is a vampire himself.
"Yeah."
Mr. Jing responded, and then said: "My father hunted and killed an abyss vampire lord and refined the power of blood. This blood is very compatible with human blood, and the probability of distortion is very low. Later, because of some things, I I accepted the bloodline transformation."
This plot was not unexpected by Su Lun.
But because of "something"?
It sounds like it’s not just Pestoya’s problem?
He caught the moment of hesitation in these words and asked: "Senior sister, what is the special meaning of your name 'Mrs. Philo'?"
She has always regarded herself as "Madam". If there is a marriage, Su Lun is also curious about who her senior sister, who is suspected of being a seventh-level professional or above, is, who is worthy of her.
If you are an elder, it would seem rude to ask this question.
But senior sister, it doesn’t seem like it’s okay to gossip.
""
After hearing this roundabout question, Mr. Jing finally opened his eyes.
She glanced at Su Lun, and there seemed to be a little helplessness between her eyebrows.
She knew that if she didn't explain, her younger brother would make random guesses. Anyway, there was nothing I couldn't say, so I simply gave up his curiosity and said calmly: "I was once engaged. But before we got married, he died in a battle guarding the space passage."
When Su Lun heard this, he obviously mentioned some sad past, and quickly said: "Sorry."
Mr. Jing shook his head, his face calm.
After a thousand years, many things have become dim.
She probably guessed what Su Lun was still curious about, so she simply said: "Also, the vampire bloodline is not as incredible as you think. This bloodline does have a longer lifespan than humans, but it cannot live forever. . In the past thousand years, I have spent most of the time in hibernation, and I have only awakened in the past hundred years. Moreover, the longer life span obtained by hibernation does not come without a price. Long years will also make the body lose strength, and so do I. It has only recently returned to the fifth or sixth level."
"Oh"
When Su Lun heard this, she understood why she showed low strength but high understanding of the law when she fought with the fallen angel before.
It turned out to be caused by hibernation.
However
Excluding the dormant time, she still lived for more than a hundred years?
Su Lun still thinks that this vampire bloodline is quite good. As for the fear of light and the fact that the cultivation efficiency is slower than that of humans, it is no longer a problem
The two were chatting when, at this time, Senjou also cleaned himself up and walked over from the corridor.
Su Lun already knew that she had a good relationship with "Mrs. Philo", and now that Philo is Mr. Mirror's vest, everything is in order.
Qianjou obviously knew about the relationship between the two and said with a smile: "Hey, what are you two senior sisters and brothers talking about?"
As she spoke, she took off the bath towel she was wearing and got into the water.
The water temperature was very comfortable, Su Lun lay lazily, put a wet towel on his forehead, and responded: "Let's talk about some bloodline issues."
Qianjou didn't shy away from Su Lun at all now. After entering the water, he sat next to Su Lun.
The linen used in the bath is very thin, and once it is wet, it feels extremely real when it is close to the body.
But no one cared.
The three of them enjoyed the comfortable hot spring and chatted.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Su Lun knew that it was not a special arrangement, but a coincidence.
He remembered that Chijou had said before that "Mrs. Philo" also had the habit of bathing. Maybe vampires are a cold-blooded race, so they like the feeling of warmth?
While soaking, Mr. Jing suddenly spoke up and started talking about business, "The intelligence outside has been roughly confirmed. There is a personal guard of Archduke Raphael stationed outside the tower. The strongest one is a sixth-level guard. Commander, there are many elites of the fourth and fifth levels. This time I got the fallen angel divine body. In about half a month, my strength will be restored to the level that I can suppress the sixth level. I should rush out by then. It’s more secure”
After saying this, she looked at Qian Jiao and asked: "By the way, Qian Jiao, what's the situation with your Evelin family?"
"I can leave at any time, and there's nothing to worry about anyway. I asked the family, and they had no intention of interfering."
Qianjou responded lazily, with a hint of speechlessness in his tone, "Those clan elders enjoy their current life very much. They are afraid of losing their current rights and wealth, saying that even if they go out, their lives will not be better than they are now. Even better, let me not cause more trouble. Compared with freedom, those old guys chose a comfortable life. Forget it, they want to stay here, let them stay."
Although Su Lun didn't say anything, after hearing this, he guessed what the elders of the Evelin family were thinking.
Archduke Raphael is almost free-range in his "mine". The top families in the inner city of Old Town, apart from being unable to go to the ground, are really no worse than the nobles on the ground in terms of quality of life and status.
No matter what era, people in the upper class of society are the least fond of change.
But no matter how fat and strong the pigs in the pen are, they are still animals raised by others.
It’s not that those people can’t see through it, it’s just that they are unwilling to give up the comfortable life they have obtained.
This is also the thought of most of the top families in the inner city.
Mr. Jing didn’t say much.
Even with her here, there are unpredictable risks in "bashing the tower", not to mention that he can only choose to take a small group of people to leave first.
After all, Old London City is Duke Raphael's "mine". Once a riot breaks out, the Duke's Palace will immediately send people to support it.
Not to mention whether the strength of the entire Jiulindun can resist the power of a duke, even if it can, there is a powerful Luying Empire behind Duke Raphael.
Some people choose freedom, while others choose comfort
With Mr. Mirror here, the chance of success in climbing the tower.
As the three of them chatted, they began to talk about the outside world.
Su Lun also told some of the information he had collected.
Then they talked about their plans after going out.
Qianjo was born in this dark underground city. Listening to the wonderful world outside, his face overflowed with a look of anticipation that was richer than gambling.
She suddenly asked: "Philo, what are you going to do after you go out?"
Maybe I’m used to it, Qiantiao
Mr. Jing has been to the outside world and takes everything lightly. She said: "I am not interested in getting involved in the fight between the two empires. I may go to the 'Senodia County' in the north of the Luying Strait. Listen. Said area is currently a territorial dispute area with no sovereignty. If possible, I plan to establish a neutral force for alchemists to exchange alchemy and pass on the fire of Dawn, just like my father established the City of Dawn."
""
Listen, Senjou frowned, obviously not interested in such a great plan.
She turned to look at Su Lun beside her, and asked: "Boy Su Lun, what are you going to do after you go out?"
Su Lun thought for a while and said: "I plan to travel around and increase my knowledge. If possible, I will look for the alchemy manuscripts left by my master."
In fact, the safest plan is to follow Mr. Jing.
When her strength is fully restored, she will be considered one of the top experts on the ground. There is also a sleeping Pestoya, with perfect golden thighs.
But Mr. Jing had actually pointed out to him that under her protection, he would never be able to realize something that only a truly strong person could understand. If you want to go further on the extraordinary road, you must have your own understanding and experience.
And, this is one of them.
Secondly, Su Lun wanted to see this mysterious and wonderful world in person.
When Qianjo heard this, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he suggested: "How about we become pirates together? We specialize in robbing these decadent nobles, uh, we can also rob other pirates!"
As she spoke, she seemed to have seen the wonderful life in the future. As she spoke, she got closer, hooked Su Lun's shoulders, and said in detail: "There is an endless sea on the ground, and there are many treasures under the sea. We You can also hunt for treasures, open up new shipping routes, hunt dragons, and find ancient ruins."
In the underground world, the sea is a very unfamiliar word.
The boundless mysterious ocean indeed has unparalleled charm for everyone.
Su Lun only felt that his arm was immersed in a gentle touch, and smiled: "Okay."
There doesn’t seem to be much difference between pirates and gangsters.
Just one on land and one on sea.
What they do is all shady and dirty work.
Treasure hunting stories have always been an enduring topic. As soon as Qianjou mentioned this topic, he immediately began to fill in all the details.
Su Lun told her some common sense. For example, to become pirates, they must first have a ship that can withstand the wind and waves.
Mr. Jing on the side listened to the two guys plotting to become pirates with a gentle smile on his face.
But the good times did not last long.
While the three of them were still timidly chatting in the bathhouse.
Suddenly!
A violent sound came from the direction of the inner city.
Three people changed their minds at the same time
Mr. Jing frowned, "Something happened in the inner city, and the movement came from the direction of the Black Tower!"
Hearing this, Senjou was also full of doubts: "Is someone attacking the black tower?"
Su Lun also felt strange.
The people stationed in the black tower are the personal guards of the Duke's Palace, which are the forces of fourth- and fifth-level professionals.
The only one in Jiulingdun who has the strength to attack the tower is the Mirror Organization.
Others, whoever rushes will die.
No matter how many people there are, it’s useless.
The noise in the distance became more and more intense, and the sound of gunfire became louder and louder. It seemed like some kind of weapon of mass destruction had been used. Even from such a distance, the three of them could see the mushroom cloud rising from the inner city.
Obviously, the fighting was fierce.
Mr. Jing sensed something, shook his head and said: "No, it seems that someone rushed out from the black tower, and the guards in the inner city are resisting."
Qianjou was completely confused: "People from outside?"
Su Lun thought about the stripped memories and guessed that it was the civil strife in the Duke's Palace or the war between the two empires that burned the Black Barrier Reef where the Black Tower is located?
Before they could guess, at this moment, the benefit of having an intelligence insider became apparent.
Su Lun immediately received Sabina's message: "Sir, a group of strong people rushed out from the black tower. They were holding mace and skull flags, like pirates! They defeated the defenders of the black tower. The army and the city guards in the inner city are also on the verge of collapse. Now that group of people are wreaking havoc and looting in the city. The mechanical warriors at the research institute are resisting, but they probably won’t be able to hold on for long. There are very powerful super-level professionals in that group of people."
Su Lun shared the information in front of the two of them. Both Mr. Jing and Qian Jiao looked very solemn.
Is this really someone from outside?
Moreover, the ones who rushed the tower were actually pirates?
The inner city guards are equipped with mechanized equipment and are not weak in strength.
Since they collapsed at the first touch, it shows that the strength of that group of pirates has the advantage of crushing them.
Mr. Jing analyzed: "Being able to break through the black tower means that there are at least sixth-level professionals in the group"
Su Lun captured the details in the intelligence and thought of something instantly, saying: "The 'Mace and Skull Flag' should be the pirate flag of the fleet of Oleg, the King of the North Sea, outside. That pirate group was so strong that even the Luying Empire couldn't do anything to them. There are many fifth- and sixth-level high-level professionals in the pirate group, and Oleg himself is said to be an eighth-level professional. ”
Mr. Jing frowned as he listened.
At this time, Senjo thought about it and said, "If someone rushes down the tower, it may not be a bad thing for us. No matter how strong the pirates under the "King of the North Sea" are, they can't fight a positional war. Most likely, they were just here to rob. ”
Su Lun also thinks this is reasonable.
The black tower was breached, which was definitely a "change in the sky" for Jiulingdun!
This turn of events came unexpectedly and immediately disrupted their original plan.
Mr. Jing nodded and said: "Well, I'm going to check the situation first. Qianjo, please gather the people in the organization, the action may have to be advanced. Wait for my news."
Qianjou: "Okay!"
As I said that, I heard a splash of water. When I looked again, the water surface was rippled, and Mr. Jing had disappeared.
Qianjo looked at the continuous fire in the inner city in the distance, and a flash of high-spirited fighting spirit flashed in his eyes. The Rakshasa girl was not afraid of Zhandu. She stood up calmly and called Su Lun: "Let's go, get ready for action."
With that said, she went ashore, wiped her body with a bath towel, put on her battle kimono, and then put on her gold-patterned cloak.
As soon as the cloak was covered, the whole person was immediately shrouded in a sense of mystery.
Su Lun had a trick to change his clothes. After landing on the shore, with a flick of his limbs, a set of clothes suitable for fighting was put on him.
For the first time, he put on the gold-patterned cloak that represented the membership of the Mirror Organization and followed Senjou out of the wall.
