Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 244: Accepted a disciple

Jike became much calmer.

Although Su Lun had only met him once before, Su Lun had a good impression of this enthusiastic, cheerful, polite, smart and studious little boy.

But now Jike silently followed Su Lun on crutches, silent and dumb like a puppet.

After walking a few steps and leaving the central square, Jike still couldn't hold it back and spoke, "Are you Mr. Nicholas?"

Because of the freezing cold, his voice was also trembling.

Su Lun said lightly: "Yeah."

Jike had mixed feelings in his heart.

He has no relatives or friends in Blizzard City. Now that his father is dead, the people in the Chamber of Commerce have become the subordinates of that vicious woman, and no one will come to save him.

I never expected that the gentleman I once rescued at sea would actually come to save me.

But on second thought, Jike thought of something and said worriedly: "Sir, you shouldn't have come forward to save me. I'm not dead. That couple of **** will definitely send people to hunt me down. You will also be implicated."

"Haha, it's okay."

Su Lun smiled.

He naturally sensed the two sneaky guys following him.

The level of tracking is very amateurish, and the tracking is much further than the ones last night. It looks like a **** from Blizzard City.

When Jike heard this, his eyes were filled with worry.

Although he knows that Mr. Nicholas is a powerful rune teacher,

But Raman is a very strong third-level professional!

Su Lun didn't explain much and asked casually: "What happened? How did you become like this?"

When Jike heard this, grief and anger surged into his heart, "That couple of **** murdered my father at sea. The old servant tried his best to stop me, but I jumped into the sea and escaped because of the inflatable life raft you gave me, sir." , I was lucky enough to survive. Later, I came to Blizzard City, wanting to expose the viciousness of that couple. I didn’t expect that woman to be prepared. As soon as I showed up, I was almost caught. Fortunately, I made a bomb. I just broke a leg and escaped with my life."

The plot is similar to what Su Lun guessed.

Captain Laman and Jike's stepmother Marianne have been hooked up for a long time. The two were actually male and female thieves, disguising their identities, specializing in seducing rich people, and then causing accidents to seize family property.

Originally, Benson did not plan to bring Jike on the voyage, but he couldn't stand the pillow wind blown by Marianne, so he brought him along with him.

Kill her thoroughly so that as a widow, she can inherit the Benson family property...

But now, something unexpected happened and Jike did not die.

This means that if they don’t kill him, the couple will not be able to get Benson’s property.

That Raman was just an ordinary third-level profession, Su Lun didn't take it to heart. Instead, he was more interested in Jike's affairs and asked: "Did you make the bomb you used in the hotel yourself?"

Jike nodded: "Yeah."

Su Lun thought of the liquid egg smash that was much more powerful than conventional explosives, and asked: "Did you prepare the special nitro compound used in the bomb yourself?"

Jike nodded again and said calmly: "Yes. I found a incomplete ancient goblin explosive recipe in the college library. After testing it many times, I figured it out."

Su Lun found it very interesting. In this way, this guy is really talented in tinkering with explosives, and asked: "Don't you want to be a designer? Why do you like tinkering with explosives?"

"I"

Hearing this, Jike fell into silence.

As if he thought of something, there was sadness in his eyes, and he sighed, and then said: "No, that is actually my father's expectation. He wants me to become an architect in the future. You know, even if In the upper class society of the empire, a designer is also a very respectable profession. My father doesn’t want me to tinker with those dangerous explosives, so I”

Speaking of this, Jike's eyes were filled with tears.

My most beloved father is no longer here.

He was filled with sadness, his face full of contradictions and ferociousness: "But in fact, my real ideal is to become an 'ammunition expert'. My dream is to make the most powerful bomb in the world, and I like gunpowder." The moment it burned and bloomed, I”

As he spoke, his expression darkened, and his voice suddenly weakened, "If I can make a more powerful bomb, neither can my father."

Su Lun listened expressionlessly.

Hate is often the biggest driving force for people to make progress. What Jike endures now may not be a good thing for him in the future.

Having said this, Jike glanced at Su Lun again and asked: "Mr. Nicholas, do you know that the vicious woman was killed in the bombing?"

"No. She only had one leg broken."

Su Lun shook his head, sensing something, and added: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent anyone to keep an eye on you."

Hearing this, Jike also understood something, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

At this time, Su Lun had already led him into an alley between houses with red brick walls.

He turned around and spotted the two amateur stalkers. Before he could say anything, he saw the two people chasing him into the alley suddenly stopped there.

Without any warning, the head fell to the ground with a bang.

"this"

Jike didn’t know how Su Lun did it, but he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

He had never thought that killing someone would be so lighthearted. Looking at the human body fountain in front of him, he was stunned, "You?"

Su Lun walked over, packed up the body very skillfully, and said calmly: "Let's go."

Blizzard City does not allow the use of force, but only if it is discovered by the security guards.

If you can kill people quietly and dispose of the body, the murder case will not be established.

Jike looked at the figure who left calmly after the murder, and was deeply touched

Su Lun found a nearby hotel and settled Jike.

The injuries on his body are not a big problem. He took a potion to treat frostbite and will recover in a few days.

Jike, who survived the disaster, was wrapped like a mummy, with a grateful face, "Thank you for saving me, Mr. Nicholas."

Su Lun took off the rubber gloves used for surgery and said calmly: "No need. You and your father saved me once."

He looked at Jike. He was injured but had a broken leg, which was also a big trouble.

Thinking about helping people to the end, Su Lun took out a steam mechanical leg and said: "If you don't mind, I plan to install a mechanical prosthetic leg for you."

This is a fine product among the trophies previously captured in Old Lingtown. Although it is not neuromechanical technology, it is completely sufficient for daily life.

Jike looked at the mechanical leg and his eyes immediately widened.

He is not an ordinary civilian. There is a special steam machinery course in the preparatory academy.

Seeing this well-made mechanical leg, his eyes immediately widened: There is actually a miniature steam boiler? This is probably a military-grade advanced mechanical leg!

He wanted it, but he thought of something and hesitated: "I am Mr. Nicholas. I don't have the money to buy such a high-end mechanical leg now."

Su Lun shook his head, "No need. I gave it to you."

As he spoke, he began to disassemble the installation device of the mechanical leg.

Su Lun's reserve of mechanical knowledge allowed him to easily disassemble the finished mechanical leg. I even took out some parts and modified it on a whim to make it more suitable for little people.

Not long after, the mechanical legs were installed.

Jike immediately went to the ground and walked around. He ran and jumped without any problems. Except for the slight mechanical sound, his movements were not much different from those of real legs. There are also some charged sprint attack devices.

For the first time in so many days, a smile appeared on his face.

Su Lun felt that everything he had to do had been done and the favor had been repaid, so he had no intention of staying any longer and said: "Live a good life in the future. Don't even think about dying with that kind of person. It's not worth it."

Jike looked at Su Lun and was about to leave. He had so many words of thanks in his heart, but at the moment he felt that it was too hard to say them out: "Wait, Mr. Nicholas!"

Su Lun looked back at him.

"Please please please"

Jike stuttered because of nervousness.

After hesitating for a moment, he bowed suddenly and finally summoned the courage to say, "Please accept me as your disciple!"

He did not realize that the Mr. Nicholas in front of him was not only an excellent rune teacher, but also proficient in medical skills and very advanced mechanical technology.

There is no one more suitable to be a teacher than such a polymath!

The most important thing is that the figure who calmly killed people before has been firmly engraved in Jike's heart, and he finally knows what kind of person he wants to be in the future.

""

When Su Lun heard this, he thought about many things in his mind.

The talent is good and the character is good. He is just afraid of the trouble of accepting disciples.

There was not much surprise in his eyes, and he said calmly: "My identity is a bit special. If you become my disciple, you may be involved in countless times more troubles in the future than you are now. And even if I accept you as a disciple , I may not have much time to teach you. Have you thought about it?"

"I've thought about it!"

Jike said firmly, "After my father dies, I no longer have any relatives. Please accept me as a disciple, sir!"

As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee and spread his hands flat in front of him. This was the master-disciple ceremony. Meaning: Teacher, please grant me knowledge.

Su Lun saw him making this great gift and pondered for a moment: "Okay! From now on, you will be my disciple."

Jike respectfully shouted: "Teacher!"

Su Lun accepted a disciple for the first time, so he was a little confused and didn’t know what to do. He thought of his teacher Seria and asked: "What do you want to learn?"

Jike was also a little surprised when he heard this. Doesn’t the teacher just teach his disciples what he is good at?

He also responded obediently: "What the teacher teaches, the disciples learn."

Su Lun said: "I have learned a lot about alchemy, runes, medicine, mechanics, all kinds of magic, mysticism, and pharmacy. I know a lot about it. An alchemist must be knowledgeable. But people's energy is limited. , you need to make your own decision for the future path."

Su Lun knows that his own path is not suitable for others, and others do not have the talent of [Death Reaper].

Not everyone is a learned Mr. Black.

"this"

When Jike heard this, he immediately felt strange.

How can someone know everything?

If he hadn't known that Su Lun had demonstrated profound knowledge of mechanics and runes, he would definitely have thought that he was an unreliable teacher.

Think about him saying: "Teacher, I want to learn about runes and mechanical explosions!"

"Yeah."

Su Lun also nodded and thought it was good. The future limit of mechanical thermal weapons will be infinitely high. "Since I accept you as my disciple, let me give you a small meeting gift."

Explosives are actually a side branch of the pharmacy branch of alchemy.

In ancient times, alchemists discovered during the process of refining medicine that certain materials would cause explosions when mixed in proportion. Later, it slowly evolved into a specialized discipline.

As he spoke, Su Lun took out a dozen thick classics from the storage space, stacked them nearly half a person high, and said: "These are first-level runes and classics on introductory mechanical knowledge. You can Take a look first. The magic knowledge content in these classics may be different from the knowledge system you have learned before. If you encounter something you don’t understand, you can ask me."

At this point, he seemed to remember something again and took out some mechanical drawings that he had studied, "There are also these introductory drawings, you can take a look if you are interested"

Jike is now a graduate of the preparatory academy, which is the level of "mechanical apprentice". These classics are enough for him to digest for a long time.

Teaching is the job of teachers in the college, which is very cumbersome.

Su Lun has no intention of teaching Jike step by step, nor does he have the time.

So, he plans to "freeze"

Jike looked at the classics that Su Lun took out one after another, and the astonishment in his eyes became more and more intense.

You must know that alchemy knowledge books are exclusive to the aristocracy in the Luying Empire.

In addition to various preparatory academies that have some channels to obtain some introductory knowledge, subsequent advanced knowledge can only be obtained by going to the Royal Academy, or by being loyal to a certain noble. Circulation in the market is also prohibited.

He originally thought that Su Lun took out some "textbooks" with only vague theoretical knowledge, but when he took a look, he was shocked.

Especially things like alchemy formulas and mechanical blueprints are protected by patents and will never be circulated.

At this moment, it is like selling waste paper, being thrown away by my teacher.

The value of these drawings and recipes alone is priceless!

It is true that most of what Su Lun took out were "textbooks", but the textbooks in Old Lingdun were different from those in the outside world.

In order for Archduke Raphael to make Old Town his secret research base, many textbook contents were "exceeding the syllabus" and had no "barriers". What's more, there is also the knowledge that can be independently developed after excavating ancient ruins. Anyway, they are all in their own mines, and the knowledge cannot flow out, so there are almost no restrictions on textbooks, which contain a lot of knowledge that is rare for the outside world.

This is also the most important reason why the technological level of the dungeon is much higher than that of the Luying Empire as a whole.

However, Jike naturally does not know all this.

He just became more and more surprised, where did he come from as a teacher?

Jike has experienced a great upheaval in his life these days, and he feels that nothing will shock him.

But looking at this "little greeting gift" in front of him, he vaguely felt that his teacher's background might be a bit wild

And the scariest thing is that whatever you ask, the teacher can answer it straight away!

"Teacher, my bomb didn't kill that person before. Was it because the dose of medicine was too low?"

"It's not a matter of the dose, but that you misjudged the crisis response ability of level three professionals. However, a larger dose would indeed be better."

"However, that is already the limit that I have tested. No matter how much the drug is, it will be very unstable and the explosion will be out of control."

"To solve this problem, you can start with runes. On page 119 of "Introduction to Machinery", there is a record of the relationship between runes and the stability of directional explosions"

"Teacher, are you a [polymath] or a [generalist]?"

"No, I am [Puppet Master]."

"What kind of professional is that?"

"I'll tell you when I get the chance later"

""

Su Lun gave those "meeting gifts", and Jike was immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

This guy does have a talent for learning, and he enjoys reading boring professional knowledge.

As a teacher, Su Lun also stayed at the hotel until noon and solved many of Jike's problems.

It's not that he is very idle, but it's because at this time, the pub area in the city will be open.

He wants to inquire about some information and needs to go to a special tavern.

The entertainment industry in Blizzard City is very developed. Most of the people in the city are adventurers and businessmen, and most of them are willing to spend money. And because it is the birthplace of slaves, the aphrodisiac here is also very famous.

Just in the East City, there is a lively entertainment district, and there is an inconspicuous pub called "Sailor Tavern" on the street.

There are many drinkers dressed as sailors in this tavern, but in fact, they are all pirates!

This is the "secret gathering place" where pirates of all sizes in the North Sea meet.

If Su Lun wants to get information about when the batch of Daru slaves will be transported away, this is the most suitable place.

Because it was noon, when Su Lun came, there seemed to be no one in the tavern.

As soon as he entered the door, he walked directly towards the spare room behind the tavern.

There were two strong men wearing leather jackets with large chest hair on guard. Their eyes are very vicious, and they can easily distinguish the difference between pirates who hang out at sea all year round and people on the shore.

Su Lun didn't give them any time to doubt, and threw out a tip of two silver coins. It didn't look like it was his first time, and he walked over in a familiar manner.

Through a passage leading underground, there is a unique cave.

Su Lun came to a very spacious underground tavern.

In the pirate tavern, there is no shortage of good wine.

There is also a wine table here with a wide variety of drinks. Looking at the labels on the wine bottles, you can see that some of the rare products that are specially provided by high-ranking nobles and even the royal family are stolen goods robbed by pirates.

Su Lun sensed that there were several secret passages extending in all directions in the basement. There is space under the wooden boards in the warehouse, behind the **** paintings on the wall, and behind the wine barrels on the bar

This also made Su Lun feel at ease a lot.

Although there are not many people in the pirate tavern, there are a few rays of soul fire that are not weak. One level four, several level three. Not surprisingly, they are all pirates with bounties on the bounty list.

The lights here are very dim, and the limited number of people at a few tables are talking about things in their own cubicles. There is a soundproofing ban, so it is difficult to hear what is being said.

Su Lun sat down and ordered expensive drinks, which were regarded as "tickets".

Not long after, a thin man with a red cockscomb head and a face covered with tattoos arrived.

"Hey, brother, where did you raise the sail?"

He started using slang and slang commonly used among pirates, and Suellen responded fluently.

Cockscomb Head didn't notice anything strange, so he got to the point.

"Brother, do you want to get some information, or do you want to steal the goods?"

"I want detailed information on the recent batches of slave transportation by the Sun Chamber of Commerce, including cargo information, time, **** force, and what kind of ship"

"Oh, the Sun Chamber of Commerce is not easy to mess with."

"Add 30% commission."

"Okay! Thank you for your patronage. One hundred thousand li, half paid in advance."

"Yeah."

"This news is indeed a bit difficult, but I will reply to you within today!"

""

Inquiring about this kind of information in the pirate tavern will be the fastest way and there will be no trouble.

Cockscomb Head left, and Su Lun waited patiently in the tavern for news.

Looking at him alone, the **** girls working in the tavern also came over. They were all good-looking and wearing very revealing clothes.

The rude pirates didn't just come here to drink. Suellen didn't behave differently. He randomly picked two blondes and chatted while drinking.

"Is there any interesting news at sea recently?"

"The meat ticket of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce was killed, and there was a fierce commotion in the middleman circle"

"I heard that the Red Shark pirates were wiped out. It seems that they offended a big bounty hunter"

"The great bounty hunter's "Hercules" August has recently come to the north"

"The "King of the North Sea" heard that there has been a big move recently and summoned a lot of people"

""

Su Lun, who was waiting for the news, was not in a hurry. Those intelligence dealers said they would have news today, so they would naturally have their channels.

The two girls are also very good at warming up the atmosphere, and time flies by.

Gradually, the tavern became lively.

Pirates are not only humans, but also giants and trolls

Su Lun senses a lot of powerful soul aura.

If you scan it casually, you will find a big pirate with a bounty.

Brando Matic, the leader of the "Iron Cross Pirates" who has a bounty of 63 million liso; Janik Beasley, the first mate of the "Snake Pirates", has a bounty of 33 million liso; and

Many of these big pirates did not cover their faces after entering the tavern, as if being recognized was an honor, and the high bounty was also bragging rights.

They are simply a walking group of bounties.

Su Lun listened with interest to the group of pirates bragging about their achievements, and soon began to express their opinions on the north

As he drank, Su Lun suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked toward the stairs.

Although the guy with the mustache disguised himself very well, Su Lun recognized Soul Fire. Wasn't it the girl named Katyusha?

What is she doing here?
