Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 319: The general is here
Su Lun and Qian Tiao returned to Grandma Xia’s soup room.
The beautiful spring scenery on the cliff hot spring was just a small episode, and neither of them really cared about it.
When we returned to the soup room, the sky had darkened, and the wooden houses all over Chaming Mountain were lit up with orange-red light.
The two of them climbed into the house from the back hill of the courtyard, and Lolotta was spreading the bedding. Mifu Miko was beside the oil lamp, holding a thread-bound ancient book and looking through it.
Looking at the two people entering the room, Lolota came up to them with a bright smile on her face, "Teacher, Mr. Sullen, you are back."
As she said that, she pointed to the other side of the room where there were exquisite small dishes of food on the table, and said: "We are going to have a small hot pot tonight. Teacher, can I go and light up the charcoal fire in the copper stove?"
Qianjo nodded: "Yeah."
After taking a bath in the bath, they felt refreshed and both of them looked happy.
Miko put down the book in her hand, glanced at Senjou's arm, and asked with a smile: "Has Miss Senjou's seal been resolved?"
"Yes..."
Qianjou also thinks this is a very happy thing.
As she said that, she walked over to Miko and sat down. She put her arm around her shoulders unceremoniously and said, "But now, I still need Miss Miko to be busy."
Miko blinked, "Oh?"
Qianjo took off the demon sword "Onimaru Hyakume Munemasa" from his waist and placed it on the table. He said: "I plan to completely tame this demon sword. When the demonic energy leaks out, it may attract some monsters. So. I need to trouble Miss Miko to arrange some barriers."
These days, she has been using her own sword energy to cultivate herself, but she is still far away from being able to fully control this demonic sword.
Now that her arm was unsealed, she naturally thought of "moving" the knife immediately.
If you really can fully use the ability of this demon sword, it will not be inferior to other professionals if you have a [Forbidden Object] in your hand. This is a temptation that no professional swordsman can resist.
Of course, the Shinto shrine maiden is good at dealing with monsters, and Miko also knows what she wants to do. Although she thought it was a risky move, she responded: "Okay!"
Su Lun said nothing.
He will naturally support whatever Qianjo decides.
But if you want to forcibly tame this demon sword, the risk is not small. If you are not careful, you will become a "sword slave".
However, now that Su Lun has advanced to the fourth level, it is not that easy for the demon sword to become a demon
Not long after, Miko had already set up a Shinto barrier in the house. A rope made of straw was tied to the door curtain, and white zigzag-shaped royal coins were hung on the rope. Shinto talismans are also affixed to the windows and lattice doors.
This is something that monsters are all afraid of.
Su Lun also used silk thread to make some necessary preparations in the room.
After all this was done, the broth in the brass pot was already boiling.
The four of them sat around and ate hot pot lively.
Su Lun, Yuzi and Luoluota sat on one side, while Senjo occupied the other three.
It's really because at this moment, the strange vision on Qianjou's body is too shocking.
When she decided to tame "Onimaru Hyakume Munemasa", the demon sword also sensed something and immediately stopped.
Even if the sword was not unsheathed, the surging demonic energy leaked out, like a stormy wave that was about to swallow up the people in the room.
Qianjou could only release more and more energy to suppress it, and his body was surrounded by thicker and thicker sword energy. Her whole body was like a sharp sword slowly unsheathed, its edge clearly visible.
The unsealed Qianjou's arms are even more domineering, making it impossible for anyone to get close.
If you clicked last time, you will end.
Then this time, I have to fight hard.
Man and knife, both.
The phantom of the Rakshasa behind Qianzhi has appeared, with angry eyebrows and angry eyes, fighting against the ferocious centipede with hundreds of eyes wrapped around it.
Her eyes were shining red, and the ripples seemed to reflect the scene of hell. That kind of indiscriminate release of momentum, without caring about others. Even Su Lun and the three people around her felt that they were in danger of being cut into pieces by her knife at any moment.
Both Su Lun and Yu Zi were fine and looked calm.
Lolota's face turned pale at this momentum, but she gritted her teeth and persisted.
Looking at the increasingly restless demonic energy, Yuzi asked worriedly: "Miss IOU, are you okay?"
After all, no one knows the past of this demon sword better than her.
In the past, countless talented swordsmen and great swordsmen wanted to control it, but they all became dead souls under the sword.
This current move is no different from gambling on life, and the chance of winning is not high.
"I'm fine."
Qiantiao's face was expressionless, but the veins on her forehead showed that she was not relaxed, but her eyes were still determined. She forced a smile and said, "Everyone eat, don't look at me."
No one else can help her with this matter, she can only do it herself.
Su Lun looked at her slightly stiff hands when picking vegetables. Without saying much, he helped her pick up a piece of cooked meat in the bowl.
Qianjo glanced at him, and there was already a tacit understanding between the two of them. Even if they made eye contact, they immediately understood: There is also me.
This is also the reason why she has no hesitation.
The red light in Qian Tiao's eyes dissipated in an instant.
A few people were eating and chatting.
"By the way, Miss Miko, what is the current situation in Edo?"
"Not too ideal. There may be big changes in this 'Black Sun Festival'"
""
Since he planned to accompany Miko to Edo Castle, Su Lun naturally wanted to ask more about the situation in the Yamagakure Country, about the Takeda Shogunate, the Divine Service Imperial Family, and the Black Dragon Society
Only by understanding the situation can he judge potential enemies in advance.
Miko did not shy away from anything, detailing many secrets that outsiders from Yamayaku had no qualifications and no channels to understand.
She said: "The 'Black Sun Festival' only happens once every few decades, or even hundreds of years. At that time, the sun will be covered by darkness, and the earth will lose its light. At that time, Amaterasu will leave the world, and it will also be our Yi When the Shijin Palace faces the greatest challenge. Without divine power to suppress it, monsters and monsters from all sides will come out to cause trouble. People with evil intentions will definitely choose that time to take action. Because the main source of power for our Kamfu clan is Amaterasu. At that time It will also be the weakest. Therefore, it will also be the most dangerous time. There have been several rebellions by feudal lords in history, all at this time."
This is already an absolute royal secret.
When Su Lun heard this, he knew that Yuzi was treating them as outsiders.
These few sentences point to the key point of the matter: the "Black Sun Festival".
Miko's eyes were firm and she said: "I am the contemporary Saio, so I must go back. Only I can make Amaterasu come again."
"The rebellion all happened during the 'Black Sun Festival'?"
When Su Lun heard this, his thoughts spread out.
He was also glad that he had read many Shanyin classics before coming.
He happened to have heard of that legend.
Legend has it that Black Sun is Amaterasu who left in anger for some reason. As soon as He left, the dark sun fell and the earth was lightless. Then there will be huge and grand sacrificial ceremonies in various places in Yamakaku, and the shrine maidens will dance Kagura dance, and then Amaterasu will return.
And if you kill the top shrine maiden "Saio" Mitsuko, the sun may still come out, but Amaterasu may not come back?
Perhaps the Shenfu clan, which represents the divine power of the emperor, collapsed on its own?
Intuition told Su Lun that this was definitely possible.
Someone wants to shake the imperial power of the Shenfu clan. This is indeed the best opportunity.
The previous pursuit was justified.
But those people did not dare to take action at other times and completely pull down the royal family. Most of them were afraid of the "divinely granted" strength of the Shenfu clan.
Despite the fact that the Miss Miko in front of you is not very strong, in fact, it is impossible to judge by ordinary theory.
If there is anyone in the Shanyin Kingdom who is closest to the gods,
Then it’s her.
The strength of a believer in God is not just about his or her rank.
The previous "demon" Yasuwa Abe came to chase him and did not dare to show his face. In addition to not wanting to be exposed, he may not be afraid of Miko's desperate "truck cards"
Miko's expression became more and more solemn, "Before, I only thought that the Takeda shogunate was a threat. Now it seems that things are very complicated. After returning to Edo this time, there may be more trouble than expected and the situation will be more dangerous."
Su Lun remained silent and did not speak.
He also had a clear outline of the entire incident in his mind.
The shogunate had almost absolute control over Yamagakure, and the assassination of General Takeda Shino could indeed solve part of the problem. But if Miko wanted to assassinate him, she could only recruit experts from outside Yamagakure. Only then did she get to know Senjou and have some follow-up matters.
But the emergence of the "third party force" represented by Amp Taihe made things complicated.
Suddenly, Su Lun thought of something and asked: "Is there any action from Oleg, the King of the North Sea?"
Su Lun hadn't asked before, so it was naturally hard for Yuzi to mention it voluntarily. Now hearing this, she said: "The news I just arrived is that the ninth fleet of King Oleg of the North Sea has been triggered from the pirate city to Shanyin. The captain of the fleet "Admiral Gluttony" Ixir Paion Lead the team in person and will arrive in Edo soon. ”
"Oh"
Su Lun frowned as he listened.
He was not too surprised that Oleg would send someone again.
The fifteenth squadron that came to the Tax Vanguard before was actually used as "cannon fodder" to test.
Now that the entire army has been wiped out, a stronger fleet will naturally come.
The fleet led by seventh-level professionals does have the strength to suppress Shan Yin with force.
He was just confused, was the King of the North Sea really a "third-party force" intervening in Shanyin?
After saying this, Miko glanced at them again: "I am very grateful to Mr. Su Lun and Miss Senjo for accompanying me. If things cannot be done, please take care of yourselves"
Qianjo raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, as if he didn't hear the words at all.
Can't do anything?
Cut it first and then talk about it.
Su Lun also had an indifferent expression.
No matter how hard he fights, his ability to protect himself is not weak now.
When the time comes that things really matter, there is at least a chance of keeping Miko as a friend
A few people chatted and finished eating the hot pot.
Lolota tidied up the room and started meditating while holding her long sword.
Although it’s uncomfortable to stay in the room and be suppressed by Senjo’s dominance, this is also the best opportunity to gain insights.
This demonic sword already has a lot of spirituality. The majestic demonic aura envelops the sword intent of previous users, and is fiercely confronting Qianjou's Rakshasa sword intent. Just
It's like two peerless swordsmen fighting each other again. This is a rare opportunity to watch.
Even Su Lun, a layman, gained a lot of insights into the art of swordsmanship through passive perception.
He didn't sleep either, and he had to always be on guard against Qian Jiao becoming possessed. He was sitting next to Qian Jiao, flipping through the scroll of the Rune Warlock's heritage.
Miko was also not far away, with Kagura bells, bat fans, taiko drums, bamboo flutes and other Shinto instruments beside her. I thought that if something really happened, I would be able to help immediately.
Unconsciously, the night is already deep.
Looking out from the courtyard, the moonlight in the sky is like silver.
In the room, Rakshasa Phantom and Hundred-Eyed Centipede were still in a stalemate, and Qian Jiao's condition was quite stable.
Part of Su Lun's attention has been on her, but his eyes are quickly reading the words on the scroll.
There was a lot of content on this scroll that was difficult to understand before, but now it becomes clear after reading it.
The seniors of the Rune Warlock lineage have spent countless years summarizing these extremely practical rune secrets, which are all priceless treasures.
In the outside world, this kind of systematic inherited knowledge is simply impossible to buy.
Looking at those secret runes, Su Lun’s eyes were filled with excitement.
From the first level, to the second level, to the third level all the way to the sixth level, there are countless rune knowledge that can be called "epic level".
Because he has digested the [imitation original rune], no matter how mysterious the secret technique is, Su Lun can understand it at a glance. Each runic language was quickly digested and integrated into his mind. The already lush skill tree in his mind sprouted dense leaves again.
This systematic knowledge of runes completes a very important part of Su Lun's puppet making, alchemy, mechanical research, and combat!
Apart from some technical knowledge of runes, what Su Lun is most passionate about is the old man’s famous skill [Rune Body]!
Refining his own body as an artifact, inscribing the skin, flesh, scriptures, and bones with runes, eventually reaching the level of a "humanoid cursed object."
"This [Rune Body] plus the [King Kong] secret method, get a [Rune King Kong], and the defense power will increase exponentially"
"The Flesh Rune can directly increase the toughness of muscles. In this way, I can even consider turning on the fourth or fifth stage [Hormonal Rage], and my body can support it. Why do I feel that I am getting further and further on the road to become a melee professional? It’s getting further”

""
Su Lun’s thoughts were racing.
If nothing else, the life-saving ability of the front has been directly improved to a big level.
Then he thought of something, "Oh, yes, there are living corpses!"
He thought of the living corpses painted with top-notch runes in the cursed space of [Javier's Morgue of Resentment] in Old Lingdun.
I also have the "Research Notes on Living Corpses" by Tirmidor M. Chekov, a research madman who was once able to resurrect corpses!
Now that I think about it, don’t these come from the same source?
The profound rune knowledge that was once completely incomprehensible is now finally qualified to study in depth.
If you really want to create that kind of top-notch living corpse, hiss
Su Lun’s thoughts started to run wildly
Qianjou's process of taming the demon sword is a bit like boiling an eagle to see who can't hold it first.
She didn't go out, and Su Lun and the others didn't go out either.
However, the situation looked pretty good. After staying up all day and night, Qianjiao did not fall behind.
The situation is much better than before.
Su Lun was happy to stay in his room because he was really busy.
After completing the rune knowledge, he has too many things to do.
Draw yourself a [Rune Body], make a high-level puppet, and have a clue about the living corpse and [Silver Hand]
As for the required materials, there is almost no shortage of them with Princess Miyoshi as Yamagakure.
In the room,
Qian Jiao was meditating cross-legged with a demon sword, while Su Lun was busy on the side.
As his knowledge of runes improved, his mind suddenly opened up.
All kinds of thoughts come out like a fountain.
The ferocious eight-armed spider spears behind him were frequently making various movements. Some were carving puppets, some were tinkering with machinery, some were handling the silver arms in the petri dish, and some were painting on his skin. runes.
The room was also made like a spider cave, with all kinds of books and materials hanging on silk threads, densely packed
Because he was already quite familiar with it, Su Lun did not shy away from it and showed his ability to multi-task to the fullest.
This scene has already stunned Miko and Lolotta.
Before, I had only learned about Su Lun's attainments in alchemy and his extraordinary combat prowess, so I was already quite surprised. Now looking at his endless "sexy moves", the two of them have been speechless for a long time.
This kind of almost crazy multi-line operation is dazzling to see. It would be great for a normal person to be able to do one well, but Su Lun operated several at the same time without making any mistakes.
The key is that he can still find time to chat with Yuzi and exchange some knowledge.
Time flies when you are busy
Finally, the stalemate between Qian Jiao and Yao Dao took a turn for the better.
At noon the next day, Lolota was meditating, Yuzi was reading, and Su Lun was still tinkering with his various researches.
Everyone is busy with their own things.
Suddenly!
Miko noticed something and said softly: "Hey, Munamasa's demonic aura is weakening, and Miss Senjo seems to be showing signs of being tamed." ”
Su Lun had been observing Qian Jiao's situation, and naturally noticed it. He paused slightly and looked sideways.
Qianjou was still meditating with his eyes closed, although his momentum was much weaker than the day before. But the six-armed Rakshasa phantom behind her clearly praised the superiority. The hundred-eyed centipede restrained its ferocity and showed faint signs of surrender.
Seeing this, Su Lun also felt strange.
He didn’t expect that it would go so smoothly?
At least Senjou almost became possessed when he got this demonic sword for the first time.
Miko was naturally also very strange and murmured: "Hey, that's strange. The most difficult thing about controlling this demon sword is to tame the hundred-eyed ghost king sealed inside. This kind of mature demon can sense people's fate. Under normal circumstances, except for Mortals cannot get its recognition at all from the likes of gods and ghosts."
She is a miko and obviously knows better.
This is also the reason why this "Onimaru Hyakume Munemasa" has never been tamed.
Miko's face was full of doubts, and she thought of something else, "Sister Senjo's mood is obviously much firmer now than before. Is it because the seal on her arm was lifted? That's not right. The demon sword didn't recognize her destiny before, so how could it happen now? Surrendered"
Su Lun also understood why this time it went so smoothly.
It seems that Qiantiao's destiny has become stronger?
Miko's eyes turned, and she suddenly thought of something. She looked at Su Lun and asked: "Mr. Su Lun, could it be that something happened at the cliff hot spring before? Now that I think about it, I also feel that Qian Jiao The lady’s fate seems to have changed since then.”
These days they are together all day long, and the only time they are no longer in sight is when they go to the hot springs on the cliff.
"Nothing happened"
Su Lun couldn't feel anything about destiny. He listened to Yuzi's words and thought about it.
The hot spring bath that day seemed nothing special.
Just lift the seal, and then
Oh,
By the way,
Also took advantage of the gambling-addicted young woman?
Su Lun felt that this might not be the reason.
Looking at Su Lun's expression, Yuzi blinked, as if he had guessed something, and did not ask further questions, but just smiled.
It was at this time that a vision suddenly appeared.
As soon as the demon sword's decline was revealed, it suddenly collapsed like a landslide.
Qianjou, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with red light, yet extremely clear.
The surging demonic aura was mixed with the Rakshasa phantom behind her, and the whole person was enveloped in a demonic aura!
"It's done?"
Su Lun's eyes flashed with anticipation. He clearly sensed Qianjiao's exaggerated and slightly unfamiliar aura, but he didn't sense any signs of chaos in her body.
This means that she seems to have tamed this demonic sword?
On the side, Miko and Lolotta also looked expectantly.
At this moment, the demonic aura on Qianjou suddenly subsided, and he could not hide his excitement despite his tired expression. She focused her eyes, looked at a few people, and said calmly: "I got this knife!"
When Su Lun and the other three heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
