Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 294: Prison robbery

Su Lun returned to Blizzard City again.

This time he did not bring the empty ship too close, and scuttled the ship when it was a few kilometers away from the coast. Then he walked on the water with a spider spear, sneaked into the city quietly, and found a hotel to stay.

In the next few days, his life was very regular.

I rest in the hotel during the day and tinker with puppets and machinery. At night, I would hang out in various pubs to get information.

The purpose of Su Lun's return is to find a way to get access to the "Void Colonization Equipment", rather than just joining a pirate group. He had to find an affiliated pirate group that was closely related to the King of the North Sea.

Now that Oleg is king and the era of great pirates is coming, the North Sea Fleet is indeed recruiting troops. But after asking around for a few days, I found out that there was only "Whaler" Chris, the third chapter of the 7th Fleet, here in Blizzard City... Unfortunately, that guy only recruited Vikings, trolls and some northern races on the ship. , not very welcoming to humans.

While Su Lun was trying hard to find some other way to get in, he heard another breaking news.

That is, Archduke Raphael’s secret prison at sea has been robbed!

Previously near the Borman Islands, Archduke Raphael destroyed the Ninth Fleet of the King of the North Sea. However, it turned out that the captain of the fleet, "Admiral Gluttony" Ixir Paion and several key members were not dead, but were captured alive. Probably to be sent to trial and then executed.

However, for some reason, the news leaked out.

Then, the King of the North Sea sent people to attack the ship escorting the transshipment, and rescued the people on the way. A bunch of accompanying serious criminals were also released.

Suellen was not interested in the news that the big pirates had escaped.

Prison robberies and jailbreaks are also commonplace for pirates.

But he is more interested in another piece of news, that is, the large wave of pirates from the King of the North Sea who were rescued from prison may arrive in Blizzard City in the next two days for supplies.

Su Lun thinks this is a good opportunity

On this day, the Walrus Tavern.

The Sailor Tavern was destroyed by Qian Jiao and the others before, but now it is the busiest tavern in Blizzard City. It is also a place where all kinds of big pirates like to gather and meet.

When the sun went down, Su Lun wore an inconspicuous pirate costume and went out to hang out in the tavern as usual.

At midnight during this time, the tavern will slowly become lively.

After entering the tavern, there were not too many guests. Three or five bald men were throwing darts, a few bearded men were playing pirate cards, and scantily clad girls were dancing around the pole on the stage.

Su Lun came to the bar with familiarity, sat on the triangular high stool made of jujube wood, and snapped his fingers at the bartender, "A glass of silver rum."

After coming here for the past few days, the bartender also got to know him, and greeted him with a smile: "Hi, Brother Johnny, haven't you found a suitable group to get on the boat?"

As he spoke, he took out a jug, opened the cork of the oak barrel, and released a full glass of wheat-colored rum.

Twelve-year-old silver rum is recognized as having the best taste, and its price in the wine market is even more expensive than some golden rums. Pirates are the ones who know how to drink best. They always rob them for their own consumption and rarely sell them. Therefore, this stuff may not always be in stock in the large taverns in Lu Ying's major territories, but there are quite a few in pirate taverns.

Su Lun popped out a coin, lifted the wine glass and took a sip. As if he was enjoying the mellow aroma of alcohol flowing in his mouth, he exhaled and then said: "Oh, Brother Mark, you know I'm not just looking for a group. I'm a pretty good gunner, and I want to find a real group. A pirate group that can make a lot of money."

His current name is "Johnny" and he is a well-known gunman from a small city in Anlogos County in the south of Luying.

This is the persona he has been creating for himself these days.

At least when people come to inquire, they can get some clues from the mouths of various drunkards, instead of such a person appearing out of thin air.

And the identity information is all fabricated, but a person whose "experience can withstand scrutiny" pieced together from many memory fragments.

When the bartender heard this, he smiled and said: "Hey, I have some news that you will definitely be interested in."

Su Lun guessed what he wanted to say, but still pretended to be curious: "Oh?"

The bartender showed a slight expression of emotion and said: "You know, the captains of Lord Oleg's fleet may be in Blizzard City tonight. I think there is no one more suitable for you than the fleets of those big shots."

When Su Lun heard this, he pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, that's really great!"

In fact, he had heard about this news from an intelligence dealer yesterday, but it was only "possible".

The bartender confirmed the news and confirmed the time was tonight.

The major pirate groups are behind these taverns, so it is not surprising that they also know some top-secret information.

As he said that, Su Lun also threw out a few more silver coins in a polite way as a tip in return for the news, "Can you tell me more details? I am very interested in this news."

The bartender happily handed over the money and said: "I don't know the details. But didn't the Ninth Fleet have an accident? There is a high probability that Mr. Peion will reorganize the fleet, so Brother Johnny You have to seize the opportunity"

"That's it"

Su Lun listened, took a few sips of wine, and chatted with the bartender again and again

The night is getting darker, and there are more and more people in the tavern.

Su Lun drank several glasses of wine at the bar, listening to the information the pirates were talking about.

"Hey, have you heard, there is a big noise in the silent forest!"

"What's wrong?"

"I don’t know what happened to the demi-humans, but a mysterious master suddenly appeared. Several large slave-catching groups were defeated and suffered heavy losses. There were also rumors that the mysterious master wanted to ban the slaves in the Silent Forest. In the slave-catching business, anyone who goes there will be killed. Now the depths of the Silent Forest have become forbidden areas."

"What kind of big news is this? Hasn't it been reported before?"

"There is still a sequel to this matter! Those slave merchants suffered heavy losses this time. Naturally, they would not allow people to interrupt this business, so they hired the "King of Thieves" Carlo Merdis to deal with it. . However, the news just came today that the team looking for trouble was almost wiped out by the demi-human army, and the "Thief King" Carlo was also severely injured, and his life or death is unknown."

"Oh my god, Carlo is one of the 'Top Ten Legendary Bounty Hunters'. He has killed seven levels before and is incredibly powerful. He was actually hit hard? Where did the mysterious man in the silent forest come from? ”

“I don’t know, he seems to be wearing a gold-patterned cloak. Some sources say it’s called the ‘Mirror Organization’”

""

When Su Lun heard the news, he was not surprised at all and took a sip of wine with an expressionless expression.

Now that Blizzard City has been invaded by pirates, although the slave-catching business has stagnated, the pirates have also paid attention to this business, and the number of slave-catching groups going to the Silent Forest has not decreased.

But with Mr. Jing here, as one of the "Top Ten Bounty Hunters", he will naturally be beaten if he goes there.

After this time, I'm afraid it will stop a lot.

After listening for a while, apart from some dirty jokes, Su Lun heard another piece of information that interested him.

"Have you heard about the mysterious disappearance of the 'Iron Crocodile Group' a few days ago? Today, a group docked brought news that someone saw the "Thousand-Knife Rakshasa" on the route. The pirate group went to the direction of Pirate City"

"Then the people from the Dawn Regiment are still alive? How is that possible! What about the people from the 'Iron Crocodile Regiment', the 'Flamingo Regiment' and the 'Iron Hammer Regiment'?"

"The Dawn Regiment is still alive, which means "One-Eyed" Shuok and the others should have been killed. ”

"This news is too **** outrageous. Shuok and the others are also a veteran pirate group, how could they all be killed without even the news being spread? I would rather believe that this was done by the giant monster of the deep sea!"

"That's right. There's not a single person left alive. It's so **** evil. You say it was the Dawn Regiment that did it, but you are too flattering to them. It was probably a shipwreck, or a giant monster from the deep sea."

"Tch, the newcomers who have come out of the sea recently are more crazy than the other, and more evil than the last. It's not necessarily certain. Have you heard that there is a newcomer who plays with machinery in the Fourth Fleet under Lord Oleg? As soon as he showed up, he was promoted to captain of the squad. I heard that in this prison robbery, the guy swallowed one of Lu Ying's warships."

""

At the wine table next door, several pirates were talking more and more enthusiastically.

Su Lun listened attentively, hanging out in the pirate tavern in the past few days, and learned about the deeds of many "new pirates".

"Thousand Sword Rakshasa" is naturally Senjo. The man playing crow is the former leader of the Crow Gang, "Crow Godfather" Gwembo Mari. The person who awakened the talent of gravity is most likely the leader of the Cross Society, "Arbiter" Chuck.

Now that he heard another person playing with machines, he naturally thought of "Butcher" Banner, the former boss of the "Steam Party". There are not many scientific and technological talents among pirates, and not everyone is qualified to play with machines. Therefore, the probability that the newcomer is Banner is very high.

"Banner"

Su Lun thought of something and became slightly distracted.

He learned a lot of information from Sabina, so he naturally knew that the guy was not as simple as he seemed

While drinking, it was midnight, and the pub street suddenly became lively.

Listening to the noise outside, Su Lun immediately knew that the fleet captains of the King of the North Sea had arrived in Blizzard City.

There are not many places to stay in the city now, so those guys came to Tavern Street in large numbers.

The drinkers also watched the powerful pirates coming over, and all they talked about were these legendary figures in the pirate circle.

"The opportunity has come"

Su Lun was not in a hurry to watch the excitement and just sat in the tavern. There is no need for him to deliberately inquire about information. Now that these real people are here, there will be a lot of information from the information merchants tomorrow morning.

He sat in front of the bar and glanced at the people passing by.

The fourth fleet under the King of the North Sea that came this time was the same fleet that once went to rob Old Lingdun.

So Su Lun looked familiar to many of them.

Captain "Frost Troll" Gar Popov, Vice-captain "Vice Admiral Sunfire" Gladys Olmedo, Captain "Flower Blade" Clolin, Squadron 3 Team captain "Human Demon" Marbrit, and fifth-level professional "Shadow Demon" Tim Ashley

They are all big names on the bounty list.

These guys passed by the tavern block, probably to show off their fighting power and deliberately leak their momentum.

How terrifying is the pressure of a group of strong men?

Gathered together, it swept through the entire block like a torrent, and all passers-by looked sideways.

"It's really strong."

Su Lun restrained his breath, fearing that he would be recognized.

Taking this opportunity, he also memorized each person's soul fire characteristics in detail.

The pirates under the King of the North Sea are the ceiling of the pirate world. These guys are all elite pirates, and their combat prowess is not comparable to that of the previous "Iron Crocodile Group".

Just those fifth-level squad captains can pose a fatal threat to Su Lun.

However, there were many people in the Walrus Tavern, and the pirate army did not go inside, but went elsewhere.

But at the end of the team, more than ten people walked in.

They were wearing plaid suits, vests, woolen coats, and leather gloves, which was obviously Old London style

"Look, that is the newcomer who has gained a lot of fame recently, the newly promoted captain of the 19th Division!"

"It's true!"

""

As soon as this group of people walked in wearing black, someone immediately recognized their identities.

The leader is a middle-aged man smoking a cigar. One of his hands is a modified mechanical arm, and there is a ferocious aura between his brows.

Su Lun saw the leader and muttered in his heart: "It is indeed Banner."

The former gang boss naturally had a lot of momentum.

Su Lun's eyes fell on Banner's robotic arm again and took another look.

This robotic arm is much more sophisticated than the one I have seen before.

Moreover, he also saw many exclusive parts for the Marfa mechanical armor on those accessories. [MF911 Magic Manipulator Boiler], [TU-0 High Frequency Vibrator], [Dragon Scale S-Explosion-proof Partition], [T-shaped Alloy Power Shaft]

The parts look like they were disassembled directly from the mechanical armor, and they are all complete. Not only are there "colonel level" armor parts, there are even "major general level" high-tech parts.

"The combat power of Banner's mechanical body is much higher than before. Not to mention the fourth level, if his abilities are not restrained, he may not be able to get even the fifth level"

Su Lun has done in-depth research on Marfa's mechanical fighter planes, and naturally he can see the technical content of Banner's mechanical arm at a glance.

And this is just an exposed robotic arm.

He knows that this guy is not a semi-modified mechanical warrior but a fully modified one!

Those mechanical parts made Su Lun a little greedy.

Now the throne of the King of the North Sea is still canonized by the emperor of the Marfa Empire, and the relationship between the two forces is very ambiguous. It is said that Marfa also has technical and equipment support.

I don’t know whether the source of these mechanical parts was stolen by the King of the North Sea before or funded by the Marfa Empire.

"But having said that, if it is the latter, and it is not from the King of the North Sea, is it possible to get some of Marfa's mechanical armor?"

Su Lun's thoughts became more active when he thought of this.

The only one of his current mechanical puppet army that can really be put on the market is a [Colonel-level ship-killing IX-shaped mechanical battle armor], and there is still a long way to go before the technology can be cracked. If there really was a channel to get more armor parts, the time it would take for his mechanical army to take shape would be greatly shortened.

Thinking of this, he found another excuse for himself to join the North Sea Fleet.

Moreover, Su Lun is more concerned about other things.

He set his sights on the people accompanying Banner.

"Where did Banner's neuromechanical technology come from?"

Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly, and soon sensed that among the people behind him, there were a few special soul fires.

When she was in Old Town, Sabine used a disguised identity to stay in the Steam Party. Because of this, she is the only one who knows that Banner is a fully modified robot.

Because Sabrina is not absolutely loyal to the Umbrella Organization, the news has not been reported. Both parties have a tacit understanding of getting what they need.

But the problem still exists.

That's Banner's mechanical body, who modified it!

"Neuromachine" is a top-secret scientific research project of Archduke Raphael. Even in the laboratory in Old Town, only a few high-level officials have mastered it.

Sabina is certain that Banner's opportunity for transformation definitely did not come from the laboratory.

So this becomes a mystery.

Pirates raided the Black Fortress Reef before, and the tower attack was very hasty. After Su Lun came out, he felt that there was no chance to investigate, so he didn't think about it again.

Now that he saw Banner coming out with his own eyes, a certain idea in his mind was ready to move.

"Neuro-mechanical technology, if we can really find clues from him, it will be much easier than finding the channel of Archduke Raphael"

Su Lun looked at Banner with a gleam in his eyes

Banner and his party entered the tavern.

The bartender also vacated a cubicle for them.

Everyone's eyes were on this group of people, and Su Lun's observation eyes were naturally not noticed.

The former "Steam Party" was one of the three major gangs in the outer city through mechanical transformation. Banner's mechanical knowledge is good. But even so, there is a high probability that he will not be able to master the top-secret technology of "neuro-mechanical technology".

So, there must be a "technical staff" behind him.

Before, there were too many places to hide in the outer city of Old Town, and Sabine couldn't find any clues.

But now that I am floating around on the sea, I am such an important person, and I will most likely wear it with me.

Su Lun's eyes were fixed on an ordinary middle-aged man with a mustache.

Although most of the people behind Banner have modified mechanical limbs, that person's soul fire is particularly erratic, which is very different from other professionals.

"Bionic skin?"

Su Lun thought this mustache was very unfamiliar.

He thought of a possibility, that is, the super mechanical warrior!

It is impossible for Banner to have some useless weaklings around him. When he thinks about it, the existence of the middle-aged man with a mustache becomes very special

"You are really into playing with machines"

"Tsk, what kind of ability is mechanical energy? It just depends on some equipment. Can you be a captain of the North Sea Fleet at this level?"

"That's right. Without equipment, a mechanical warrior is useless. Today's newcomers are really crazy. They really think they are so powerful."

""

Banner and his group entered the tavern, and other drinkers began to whisper.

In Luying, mechanical technology is backward, and most of the professionals who play with machinery are inferior to others. Even in the pirate circle, machines are at the bottom of the chain of contempt.

Traditional professionals look down on those warriors whose combat power relies solely on foreign mechanical modifications.

And usually, the combat power of those mechanical warriors is indeed much weaker than those of the same level.

Clumsy, slow response, and limited upper limit are the Luying people’s concept of machinery.

Only the top management of Lu Ying knew about the "Super Mechanical Warrior". The concept of neuromachines is still a completely unfamiliar field to most people.

In the eyes of most pirates, as long as the machine is advanced enough and given a pig, the same effect can be achieved.

So when Banner and his group came in, they would inevitably be looked down upon.

Hearing those harsh words, Su Lun shook his head slightly and muttered in a voice that could only be heard by himself: "This guy is known as the 'butcher'. His temper is not that good."

He knew someone was going to be in trouble.

In Old Lington, the name "butcher" is not just shouted randomly.

As expected.

After Su Lun muttered, the people at the next table who were still whispering suddenly stopped.

The heads of the two people fell on the wine table with a clang.

Looking carefully, a **** hole suddenly appeared on their heads.

Su Lun naturally caught a glimpse of it. At that moment, the nails driven into the wood of the wine table suddenly flew out, and then penetrated through the two people's jaws and into their heads.

"[A-043-Metal Devourer], after career advancement, he gained the ability to control metal elements, tsk tsk"

Su Lun drank the wine expressionlessly, not surprised at all.

He knows everything about Banner.

According to Sabine, this guy's inauguration sequence is very special. Even though his body is completely mechanically transformed, he still retains his natural abilities.

Even if he doesn't take the mechanical test, his combat power is still very strong.

The King of the North Sea is the ceiling in the pirate circle. Who can’t be killed?

It was expected that these people would be killed by Banner's violent temper.
