Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 241: I owe you a favor

Katyusha is a very common name. In the northern part of the Luying Empire, many young girls had this nickname.

Su Lun didn't feel any malice from her, so she bargained patiently.

However, this girl does not seem to be short of money, but she is more interested in two rings.

"I can pay you more ransom for these two rings"

"Sorry Mr. Nicholas, it's not about money. I am an 'astrologer', although I am a trainee. But I need to learn a lot of boring knowledge, and this ring can give me a lot of help. I think it would be very distressing to lose it... You know, I got it on the black market, so I'm not sure who the owner of the ring is. Sorry, I didn't question your intention. It's just that, It will make me very embarrassed."

"Can I exchange for other things? I have some manuscripts of Master Arnald here. You should have heard about astrology"

"Is it "Astrology"? I also have a set of printed copies at home, sorry"

""

Su Lun herself felt that what this girl said was reasonable.

The goblin communicator is okay, it has a blood-media contract, Su Lun is not dead, and it is useless for others to take it.

But that [Seria's Blessing] is of great use to the alchemists. Especially for professionals who need to learn a lot about reading, it can be regarded as a "little artifact".

Although it was the first time for the two to meet, Su Lun could tell from a simple exchange that this freckled girl was very knowledgeable. He is obviously well-educated, has a very good tutor, and appears to be very polite.

Furthermore, she is an "astrologer", and she does have a very high demand for knowledge. It is reasonable that she is unwilling to give up.

Besides, exchanging things is not feasible. This girl's family is very well-off, and it sounds like she has a lot of good things in her collection.

Perhaps he is a high-ranking aristocrat traveling incognito?

But Su Lun was also surprised that a little nobleman was so polite and willing to bargain patiently with a stranger.

Except for the forbidden items that couldn't be taken out, he felt like he couldn't come up with anything that interested her.

This is very embarrassing.

However, Su Lun had the patience to talk slowly, but the negative emotions in his heart did not exist

While they were talking, Su Lun suddenly heard a whisper in his ear!

A red light flashed in his eyes, and an uncontrollable mania emerged from the bottom of his heart.

It was as if there was a devil in my ears that kept urging: Kill her! Kill her and you can get the stuff back!

Su Lun realized something and closed his eyes suddenly, trying to suppress the bursting desire with his will.

The moment he closed his eyes, he seemed to see a sea of ​​blood in front of him, trying to swallow up the entire world in his heart.

Others looked at him still sitting there, but they didn't know that Su Lun was already full of ferocity under the clown mask.

He will never be a slave to his emotions.

He took out a tranquilizer and injected it into himself.

In fact, there are some evil thoughts and demons hidden in everyone's heart. They are almost animalistic instincts. Killing, possessing, mating, greed, and jealousy are just suppressed by reason. This is human nature.

Su Lun's mental power is now distorted, and those primitive desires have become extremely powerful, far beyond reason.

After the potion was poured in, he felt a sense of clarity. Forcibly suppressing those negative emotions is like locking a beast into an iron cage. He exerted all his strength, and his whole body began to tremble slightly.

With a "click", a corner of the wooden seat was crushed to pieces by him.

Suppressing the murderous intention, Su Lun spit out a gritted word from his throat, "Get out!"

This is the roar of denial of desire

It was this weird scene, like a drug addict's, that frightened the little girl named Katyusha opposite and visibly trembled.

She looked at Su Lun as if she saw something. Instead of running away, she asked with slight concern: "Mr. Nicholas, you don't look good?"

When Su Lun heard the voices from the outside world, the restlessness in his heart was gradually suppressed, and then he came to his senses and realized that he was still negotiating.

As if he had gone through a fierce battle, his back was wet with cold sweat.

He also probably guessed that this was the sequelae of using the Shadow of Death to kill the "Poison Frog" Bonn.

After taking a deep breath, Su Lun finally recovered, and said with an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, I scared you."

After a pause, he added: "As you can see, there is indeed something wrong with my body, so I have to get my two rings back."

Hearing this, a trace of hesitation immediately appeared on Katyusha's face, "Oh"

Thinking about it, she took out a small silver ball and put it on the table, and said: "I know some healing techniques. I see that sir, you seem to have some mental problems. This [Star Talisman] is mine It can calm the mind and calm the mind. You can keep it by your side, and it may be able to bring some minor help."

The other person's words were very humble and full of good intentions.

Su Lun took a look and identified the attributes.

【Star Talisman】

Detailed explanation: Made of cold star meteorite iron, it is a talisman that can make people feel calm; although the rune engraving technique is a bit rough, it is undeniable that this is a very rare material that can carry energy.

When he looked at the amulet, his expression suddenly became complicated.

The runes are very rough, and it looks like they were carved by an apprentice.

However, this material is really rare.

Metals such as meteorites are extremely scarce resources and are usually used to forge high-level weapons and some special alchemy techniques. The price has always been high.

The price of such a large piece of [Han Xing Meteor Iron] that can carry spiritual power is hard to say.

This thing will be very valuable when someone needs it!

For example, Su Lun himself.

A slight modification of the runes would be as effective in suppressing mental distortion as the clown mask on his face.

He glanced at the amulet and then at the freckled girl in front of him. Without hiding his thoughts, he asked directly: "Miss Katyusha, your amulet is indeed very useful to me. Please tell me, what price should I pay? Can I buy it?"

Putting this thing on the table made him feel that his restless mood was soothed.

Staying by your side may have a miraculous "life-saving" effect if you encounter an emergency.

"If you need it, I'll give it to you."

Katyusha shook her head and showed an innocent smile, "The teacher taught us that stars are gifts from nature to human beings. Even we astrologers only keep them temporarily. They will meet needs. Its people."

"Send it to me?"

After saying this, Su Lun felt that he shouldn't take the amulet.

I didn’t expect that my things were not redeemed, but the other party gave me something as a gift?

Does it mean exchange?

If it were anyone else, Su Lun would still think that the other party had bad intentions.

But the girl in front of him seemed to have bright stars in her eyes, and he couldn't bear any malice.

"Yes."

As if she was unsuspecting, Katyusha told a stranger the purpose of her trip, "This time I came to the far north ice field to experience, but I also came to look for meteorites on the ice field. Only in the vast white They will be easily found in the snow."

""

The other party's attitude made Su Lun not sure how to speak.

The goblin communicator must be taken back, and if [Seraya's Blessing] had not been given by his teacher, he really wanted to exchange it for the talisman at this moment.

Su Lun also expressed his attitude and said: "No, in the eyes of alchemists, all things are equal. Sorry, Miss Katyusha, we don't know each other, please give us a price. Otherwise , I will not accept your gift."

"It's really not necessary. Look, I have a lot more."

Katyusha looked unconcerned.

As she spoke, she took out a box like a silly girl from a landlord's house.

When I opened it, I saw at least a dozen meteorites of various colors, large and small, including blue, purple, fluorescent, and jet black

This box of stones is worth more than a box of top-quality gems if you really need to take it to the auction house!

Su Lun looked at it without much fluctuation in his eyes.

But I can also see that this girl is really not short of money.

Katyusha looked at him and seemed to have no intention of wavering. After thinking about it, she said: "Anthracene, if you really want to pay, give me a gold coin."

As she spoke, she took out two more rings.

Although the freckled girl looked a little reluctant to let go, she said generously: "Sir, you need these two rings more, then they should be returned to their original owners."

""

Su Lun didn’t expect to get things so easily.

He felt that it was pointless to talk about money at this moment. After thinking about it, he took out a gold coin, put it on the table, and said seriously: "I owe you a favor, Miss Katyusha."

The things are valuable, and his favors are not bad either.

Hearing this, Katyusha readily agreed: "Okay!"

She picked up the gold coin with an innocent smile on her face

Suellen left the cafe.

The girl he met named Katyusha got his things back, and he felt very happy.

However, there are more doubts.

No one in this world will be nice to you for no reason.

Especially strangers.

This Katyusha is either really a hothouse flower from a big family, well-educated and innocent;

or

This is very good social skills.

Su Lun is proficient in a lot of strange knowledge, and he prefers the latter.

The biggest reason is the perception of her erratic soul fire.

But no matter how much you doubt it, the fact is that when Su Lun got it, he had an extra talisman in his hand.

This favor is worth it no matter what.

He also suspected that the other party was up to no good.

But no matter how you think about it, I feel that this may not be true.

It was an accident that the ring entered the black market, and it must have been a coincidence that Katyusha bought it.

What's more, Su Lun feels that he is not worthy of being plotted now.

If it was an enemy, besides Archduke Raphael, it would be someone from the Raigadi family.

But no matter how you think about it, they should not be enemies.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have sat down to have a good negotiation and even given gifts.

He also guessed that the other party might see that he had some special abilities, or that it was the magical "astrology", or the "teacher" she kept mentioning

The astrologer has some ability to predict advantages and avoid disadvantages. Maybe she wants to have a good relationship?

Su Lun didn't think too much about it. He had omniscient eyes and wasn't afraid of things being tampered with.

After getting the communicator, he walked on the street and immediately dialed Mr. Jing's communication, "Sister, I have a question for you."

Not long after, a response came from the communicator: "Do you want to ask about mental aberration?"

"Yeah."

Mr. Jing guessed everything, and Su Lun was not surprised.

He has the matter of [Thanatos's scapegoat] in his hands, and he, his senior sister, is the only insider.

What's more, with the communicator, she can feel the location, life and death of everyone in the mirror organization.

This also saves a lot of explanation time.

The communicator pondered for a moment, and then came a response: "I have seen someone use the 'Death Puppet' twice before, but the end result was not very good. The mental distortion is irreversible, and it is very troublesome to solve. ”

That's the advantage of having someone behind you. You can know everything you ask.

This thing appears in the Dawn Ruins, so it must have been used by someone before.

It's troublesome, but it doesn't mean it's unsolvable.

Su Lun listened patiently.

Mr. Jing added: "If you want to solve it, first, you come to me to help you suppress it, but treating the symptoms but not the root cause will eventually make the problem bigger and bigger; second, find a higher-level spiritual power secret method; third Third, find some special soul-cursed objects and forcibly suppress them, but those kinds of things are hard to come by. I will notify other members of the Mirror Organization to help you pay attention; there are also some special ones, such as the 'Fountain of Youth' that can cure all diseases. , or there seems to be similar research in my father’s notes. You can look at your situation and consider which one to choose.”

"Fountain of Youth?"

"On a very dangerous island in the West Sea. My father has been there once. A thousand years have passed, and I'm not sure it's still there. Besides, I'm not sure I can go, so I don't recommend you go now."

""

As expected of the daughter of a demigod family, this is her heritage.

Even if she hasn’t seen it, her father has seen it too.

Her father has never seen it, but he has also heard of it.

Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the first point. At least he had a "guaranteed" plan.

But the latter part is really unreliable.

What I am learning now is [Starry Sky Visualization Technique], which is already the top spiritual secret technique in the world. The higher ones can only be "magic", which is unrealistic.

There are also those special cursed objects that are definitely hard to find.

Just when Su Lun was still thinking about a more reliable plan, suddenly, Mr. Jing asked again: "Oh, by the way. Are you in the North now? There is another way. The great virtue of the Daru tribe The Ruids are all good at healing, and they may have a way to solve mental aberrations. However, there may be no Archdruids now. You can ask them, and give me a few words by the way."

Suellen: "What does Archdruid mean?"

Mr. Mirror: "A druid of level seven or above."

""

Su Lun felt that maybe not.

If the Daru tribe had seventh-level warriors, it would be impossible for this tribe to be captured by slave hunters every day.

But suddenly, Su Lun thought about how he suddenly heard a whisper during the negotiation and almost lost his mind, and asked again: "Oh, by the way! Senior sister, I still have some questions I want to ask you."

He explained his situation clearly in a few words.

Obviously, Mr. Jing was also surprised, "Has your reaper talent awakened for the second time?"

"Yeah."

"Very good. After all, it is very difficult to awaken S-level talents for the second time"

Mr. Jing praised, and then explained: "That kind of whispering is different from the situation of using a 'suicide doll'. This is the law of death communicating the heaven and earth, and hearing the whispers of the dead. It's normal. It doesn't solve your spirit. Before the problem of force distortion is solved, it is best to use that ability less."

"Oh."

Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this

After hanging up the communication, Su Lun had a general understanding of his current situation.

Now that he has the [Star Amulet], he estimates that as long as he doesn't use Death Shadow casually, he can at least support it for a few months.

Thinking about it, he planned to ask a Daru tribe first.

After all, it is very convenient. You can find many Daru people in the slave market.

It would be better if there really was a great druid, or if there were some solutions left behind to completely solve the problem of his mental distortion.
