Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 378: New members of the Dawn Group

Not many people in the Dawn Regiment knew about the existence of Pandora. Now that there was such a person suddenly present, the crew members were stunned for a moment, and then their faces became solemn.

How did this woman appear out of thin air?

They didn't even notice it at all!

The crew members all had vigilance in their eyes, and their hands instinctively grasped their weapons.

Su Lun sensed it in advance. Looking at everyone's reactions, he also guessed that they were probably "targeted blind" by Pandora's mental illusion.

At the same time, he was also glad to have signed a covenant with this woman.

With this weird mind control method, if it were really an enemy, not many people on this ship would survive.

The crew members looked at Qian Jiao and Su Lun as if they knew this woman, so they made no move.

After all, she is the "most beautiful girl in the world". Even if she is covered with a veil, Pandora's full charm cannot be hidden.

The skin is as good as snow, the figure is graceful, the delicate face is half covered, and there is almost no flaw to blame. The most peculiar thing is that she also has a holy aura about her body that seems to be untainted by the mortal world. In the eyes of others, her entire body seemed to be shrouded in shining holy light, giving people a sense of ultimate beauty that was sacred and inviolable.

She walked slowly and attracted everyone's attention.

Kama, a new member, is even more curious that there is such a beautiful woman in the Liming group. She felt that this was probably more beautiful than the priestesses of the Agapanaon Temple!

After listening to Pandora’s popular science about the purpose of the golden fleece, Su Lun probably guessed her purpose, “you”

He didn't know what to call him appropriately, so he pondered for a moment and then said: "Miss Pandora, what are you?"

Pandora obviously did not intend to have too much contact with others, and responded calmly: "I want to talk to you alone."

Su Lun raised his eyebrows slightly as he listened.

We were together every day before, so we didn’t notice much change.

After not seeing her for a few days, he realized that Pandora's aura was becoming more and more ethereal.

Su Lun also guessed that it should be the reason for the power of faith.

After all, she has gathered the power of faith of Shanyin's "Tsukuyomi God" in her body. Now that the "Moon Emperor" is in power, the power of faith will continue to bless her. The feeling of majesty became more and more like that of a superior god.

"Okay!"

Su Lun responded immediately.

Hearing this, the crew on the deck immediately understood. They no longer stared at this unknown woman, and dispersed to go about their business.

Qianjo could have listened together, but she looked bored and had no intention of staying.

She knocked the stunned Tani and Lolotta with her scabbard, and said: "Let's go, let's go to the cabin to clean up."

"Oh."

The two and a half-year-old children woke up from a dream, and the confusion in their eyes became clear. Only then did they realize that they were immersed in a strange mental state. A blush of embarrassment flashed across their faces, and they lowered their heads and followed Chijou to the cabin.

Without anyone else, Pandora directly stated her purpose, "I need this [Golden Fleece]."

"Oh?"

Su Lun raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, not in a hurry to express his position.

This golden fleece is a top-grade material and its value is immeasurable.

However, he actually didn't care about the wool, but he cared more about Pandora's attitude.

It is a good sign to ask for something.

Pandora explained her motives unabashedly, saying: "The reason why this [Golden Fleece] was sacrificed to the gods is because it is a rare special material that can carry the power of faith. This thing is in the hands of mortals. It’s a bit wasteful.”

In the two previous confrontations, she had never taken any advantage. How could she not know that the most direct way to deal with this cunning guy is to negotiate an exchange of benefits.

Pandora looked at Su Lun's calm expression and added: "If you can give it to me, I can help you some more. For example, solve the problem of the ship in the distance. I think you don't want to kill them all. Kill them and silence them."

Communication between smart people is about convenience. After stating the purpose and conditions, Su Lun weighed it for a moment and immediately felt that the deal was worth it, so he decisively agreed: "Okay!"

This transaction may not seem worth it now, but it is definitely not a loss!

Pandora will become stronger and stronger now, and her abilities will be of great use.

Su Lun previously felt that a contract was too thin to bind this strong support for a long time.

The purpose is to make her owe a favor, even if she suffers a small loss, it is much better than a one-time deal.

Now is the opportunity.

When Su Lun responded, Pandora stopped talking. A huge wave of mental power suddenly came over her body, her eyes were like lightning, and her temperament suddenly became majestic and indescribable.

Looking again, her figure suddenly appeared in white light, making it difficult to look directly at her.

As soon as the white light flashed, her figure appeared on the "North Wind" not far away. The expressions of the people on the ship immediately froze on the spot

Su Lun looked at Pandora's body still in place next to him and looked slightly sideways.

At a glance from the corner of my eye, I saw that the gleaming body in the distance was actually the embodiment of a pure spiritual body?

He knew what this meant and was shocked: "Spirit manifested! Wandering in the void!"

Su Lun has seen this description in the classics. Only when the mental power reaches an incredible level can a "spiritual incarnation" be condensed.

This technique is a bit like an out-of-body experience, allowing the spirit and will to leave the body and roam in the void.

Furthermore, it is said that the gods from the mythical period used similar methods when they came to the heavens.

With a single thought, the incarnation of will has arrived.

This is a perfect magic.

While Su Lun was still shocked, the light on Pandora dissipated, and she said calmly: "Okay."

Su Lun: ""

He didn't even ask Pandora what she had done, and he could probably guess it. "Master Tsukuyomi" is best at mental illusions. He probably cast some group illusions on that ship of people and tampered with some memories.

But it did solve a big problem for Su Lun.

He had killed the few hostile people on the North Wind, but now there were still a boatload of hundreds of innocent adventurers who were involved.

Letting them go will definitely reveal the fact that the Dawn Regiment intercepted and killed the North Sea Fleet this time, and the subsequent hidden dangers will be great.

But if you don’t let them go, you can’t kill them all.

Although Su Lun is decisive in killing, he is not a person who kills indiscriminately.

Now that the problem was solved, he looked at Pandora and said lightly: "Thank you."

Pandora didn't say much and said calmly: "It's just a transaction."

As she spoke, she put away the box of Golden Fleece and returned to her cabin without continuing to show her face on the deck.

Su Lun raised his eyebrows slightly.

Sure enough, he is soft on others.

Although Pandora's attitude is still indifferent, it is much better than before.

This is a good sign

After harvesting a pirate warship, everyone in the Dawn Group was busy painting and changing the color and packing up their new ship.

Among wooden warships of this displacement class, the North Sea Fleet is already the best, with fast speed, powerful artillery, and strong enough

With a slightly modified appearance, it will not be easily recognized.

Su Lun sat on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze, and fell into deep thought for a long time.

Pandora just learned about the function of the Golden Fleece. Now he is basically sure that the pirates brought the [Golden Fleece] to perform some kind of mysterious sacrifice.

After all, Roman is a country with belief in gods, and all kinds of sacrificial activities were originally normal.

But now the timing is a bit intriguing.

Su Lun's thoughts were flying, filling his mind with one possibility after another.

The value of this [Golden Fleece] is extraordinary. What existence exists in this sea that requires such a level of "sacrifice" to be sacrificed?

God?

Su Lun thought of the treasures on Alcatraz Island.

So many precious things appear in the same place, but they are not from the same era.

Is it not some ancient ruins, but the sacrifices left there through such sacrificial acts?

Except for the priests of the Temple of Agaparnon, I am afraid no one knows why.

This hypothetical idea is terrifying to think about.

If the treasures on Alcatraz Island are all sacrifices, then why does the temple allow adventurers to hunt for treasures?

When the news of the "Alcatraz Treasure" came out, the Temple of Agapathenon also played a role in fueling the flames.

The news came out so quickly this time, Su Lun always felt that there was something behind the scenes.

News leaked, treasure hunt returned, navigation chart leaked

Every step seems to be just right, seduce people's curiosity and attract adventurers to explore.

Only yesterday, at least 100,000 adventurers went out to sea to hunt for treasure, and there may be even more in the next few days

"Why do those guys in the Roman Temple attract so many adventurers?"

Su Lun was puzzled.

If it hadn't been for the unexpected interception of the [Golden Fleece], he might have been kept in the dark.

"By the way, the temple!"

Su Lun thought about the [Golden Spear of Causality and Law of War God Tyr] that fell from the sky in the city before and tried to kill him.

Why did the people in the temple kill themselves?

This is the first time Su Lun has come to Roman, and he is very sure that he has not had any conflicts with the Agapanaon Temple before.

Is it because of "divination"?

But if it is because of this, it makes people feel that the causal relationship is somewhat reversed.

If you don’t come to kill me, why should I provoke you?

Now that we have made enemies, we are no longer enemies, but we are also enemies.

Su Lun felt more and more doubts.

But some key clues are missing and I can’t figure it out.

At this moment, another thought came to his mind: "Oh, I almost forgot about Barrett!"

Su Lun almost didn't forget that Barrett and his two lieutenants were still in his "little void world".

This place is already far away from the coastline, so I thought it would be okay to release the people.

Su Lun’s Warlock Seal pinched, and a black hole in space slowly formed in his palm.

When the exit was big enough, three figures jumped out of the void

The sailboat rides the wind on the blue sea, rising and falling with the waves.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Barrett also knew that they had escaped from the Moros city-state, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Su Lun in front of him, his expression was very complicated, including shame, gratitude, and shock.

After all, the reason why I chose to lead my brothers to the Moros city-state to rescue people was because I was afraid of dragging down the Dawn Regiment.

Unexpectedly, in times of crisis, it was the members of the Dawn Regiment who extended a helping hand, and they survived.

Total count, this is the third time Su Lun has helped them resolve an almost certain death crisis.

This life-saving grace cannot be understood no matter how hard it is.

Barrett didn't know how to express his gratitude for a moment, so he sighed slightly and said: "Little friend Su Lun, I have troubled you again this time."

As he said that, he and the two adjutants behind him solemnly performed a breast-protecting military salute to Su Lun.

Su Lun stretched out his hand to help Barrett, who was bowing very low, and said: "Mr. Barrett, there is no need to be so polite. We happened to meet him before, it's just a little effort."

Barrett shook his head and said with sincere gratitude: "Little Su Lun's several life-saving graces will be unforgettable by our 'Judgment Team'"

Easy to do?

Absolutely not!

The people in the Luying Military Intelligence Agency are not vegetarians. Saving people in the Moros city-state must have taken a huge risk.

Suellen shrugged noncommittally.

It's not that he didn't pursue him, but that he took away the [Golden Spear], which caused a city-wide curfew and disrupted the siege and pursuit plan of those from the Luying Military Intelligence Agency.

He did not continue to be polite on this topic. He instead said: "There is reliable information that those members of your 'Judgment Group' escaped from the underground caves of the Moros city-state. People from the Luying Military Intelligence Agency did not arrest them. To people."

"Really?!"

Hearing this, Barrett and the two lieutenants instantly showed ecstasy on their faces.

At this time, an adjutant also quickly took out the communicator he carried and started to communicate. Seeing the green light on the communicator, he instantly confirmed something. He looked at Barrett in surprise and said excitedly: "Captain, there is a signal!"

Barrett could not hide his excitement, and his face was full of energy. He explained to Su Lun: "This is the contact signal we agreed on before. Once they come out alive, a specific signal frequency will be activated, and we can receive it even if they are far away. Now they should have escaped according to the plan. Coming to the sea."

As he spoke, his breath became heavy and he laughed: "Hahaha, the brothers finally made it out alive!"

When they went to save people this time, they themselves were determined to die.

Now that the brothers in the regiment have escaped alive, this is the greatest good news, even more important than their survival!

It was as if the depression that had been pent up in his heart these days suddenly came out. With a smile, Barrett's eyes were filled with tears.

Su Lun looked at this tough man who was crying a little and was also happy for them.

This is a group of people with true temperament and blood.

The sun is shining brightly and the sea breeze is blowing.

It seems that after surviving the darkest time in life, everything is moving in the right direction.

At this moment, he was relieved.

The former knightly glory, status, military rank, family, and worries are all in the past.

He can embrace a new future.

Barrett's eyes were no longer as dead as before. He looked at the seabirds flying freely in the sky, and the light of hope lit up.

At this time, Su Lun also spoke at the right time and asked: "Mr. Barrett, do you have any plans in the future?"

Hearing this, Barrett's eyes dimmed with excitement, as if he had already made a decision.

He looked at Su Lun in front of him and said with great solemnity: "If possible, I would like to join Dawn."

Su Lun smiled slightly: "Welcome!"

Barrett and his Holy Judgment Group chose to join, and the Dawn Group grew stronger again.

According to Barrett himself, after acquiring the [Silver Hand], he is stronger than at his peak. Now he may break through the sixth level at any time and enter the field of top professionals.

The "Judgment Group" also has four to five hundred royal knights. After joining together, the number of people in the Dawn Group will double.

The current overall combat strength of the Dawn Regiment cannot be underestimated. Even if it encounters the reorganized fleet of the North Sea Fleet, it is not necessarily much weaker.

Su Lun announced the news to everyone in the Dawn Group, and everyone expressed a warm welcome to the new members.

No one thought they were the down-and-out royal knights, but Barrett and the others' actions of sacrificing their lives to save their brothers won everyone's admiration and respect.

Before there was time to hold a welcome dinner, Su Lun organized a meeting with the senior leaders of the group.

Not long after, in the captain's cabin.

Senjou, Dr. Banks, Barrett, and the squad leaders gathered together.

The chandelier above the conference room was shaking, and the dim light illuminated the serious faces.

Su Lun told what he had guessed.

I thought it was an ordinary adventure treasure hunt, but I didn't expect it would involve such a complicated situation.

After finally finishing speaking, Su Lun added: "This is the information we know now. Let's see what everyone thinks about how our Dawn Regiment should act next."

For a while, everyone fell into deep thought, and the sound of needle drops could be heard in the conference room.

After a while, Qian Jiao looked solemn and was the first to speak: "So Su Lun, do you think the treasure on Alcatraz Island this time is actually a conspiracy planned by some people?"

Su Lun nodded: "Yes. There are too many coincidences here, which makes people suspicious. Moreover, I even suspect that some abilities such as 'prophecy' may still point to our Dawn Group."

If there is any force that can bring big changes to the world in the future, Su Lun feels that their "Dawn Group" is definitely one of them.

Although the Dawn Regiment is still very weak, it is also growing vigorously. For leaders like Mr. Youjing who harbor the great ideal of reviving human alchemical civilization, and their members who work hard for a common goal, the light of dawn may not be able to illuminate the earth.

There is no such thing as hatred without reason,

Su Lun thought for a long time and felt that those people in the Agaparnon Temple could only assassinate him for these mysterious reasons.

Oleg, the King of the North Sea, intervened in the affairs of the Agaparnon Temple, and now Roman's faith is no longer pure.

At this time, Barrett also interjected: "I think this possibility is also very high. In the past, when we went to explore some unknown sea areas and met primitive tribes, we also found that the beliefs of some ancient evil gods were very cruel. , we often see scenes of human blood sacrifice."

Dr. Banks also found it unbelievable, "But there are more than 100,000 adventurers this time. Do those people want to use these 100,000 people as sacrifices?"

Su Lun nodded: "If it is true as I guessed, it is probably true. The treasures on Alcatraz Island will definitely not be taken away so easily. The target of the sacrifice will probably be very terrifying. exists."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the conference room became very solemn.

Sacrificing 100,000 people?

Just listening to this evil deed is outrageous.

Since there are suspicions, the Dawn Group will definitely not go to Alcatraz Island under the current situation.

Everyone in the Dawn Group may not be kind and have good intentions, but they are definitely people who will draw their swords when they see injustice on the road.

At this point in the meeting, Senjoya said: "Even if what we guessed is the truth, I'm afraid we can't save the situation. Those adventurers have been dazzled by the treasure, and they will never give up on treasure hunting because of someone's unfounded speculation. Plan. It’s impossible for us to gain their trust. We can’t contact them now at sea.”

Su Lun said: "Yes, this is the most troublesome."

The deeds of the "Flying Fish Group" returning from treasure hunting yesterday were seen by too many people.

Greed makes people desperate.

Even if they were to intercept and stop them with a ship, they would probably be regarded as having ulterior motives.

The question now is, where should the Dawn Group go?

After a short silence fell in the conference room, Dr. Bacchus suddenly thought of something and said: "By the way! Su Lun, you gave us the news before, and I arranged for people from the dock to send the message to the 'Pulsatilla' It left a biological mark. Now I sense the direction of the ship, which should be only a few hundred nautical miles away from us."

Before he finished speaking, everyone looked at Dr. Banks.

He continued: "Since the [Golden Fleece] was found on the ship just now, are there other sacrifices on other ships? I suspect that this level of sacrifice should require very complicated sacrifices. Program"

After hearing this, everyone immediately understood.

Qianjouya said: "What the doctor is saying is that maybe we can stop this conspiracy by intercepting all the ships of the North Sea Fleet?"

"Yeah!"

Dr. Banks nodded and added: "Furthermore, the ship 'Frost Moon Princess' is also a key point. Even if they were to perform some kind of evil sea sacrifice, the people in the Agapanon Temple would not dare to sacrifice the people of the Marfa Royal Family! Now that the ship has come to this area, there must be a problem."

Su Lun also thought it made sense.

He knew from the memory of the previous separation of Vasily that the North Sea Fleet sent at least three squadrons to sea this time.

If we really want to intercept and kill them all, there might be a chance to destroy this conspiracy

Dr. Banks’s proposal gave everyone hope of breaking the situation.

But now the problem arises again. If they, the Dawn Group, get out of the house, they may not have any trouble at all if they leave now.

But if you go to intercept and kill the people of the North Sea Fleet, not only will the battle be risky, but you may also be involved in some unknown situations.

This kind of decision, which is related to the safety of the team, is naturally impossible to have its own way.

Su Lun proposed a vote and asked, "What do you think?"

Qian Jiao was the first to raise his hand: "I agree to intercept and kill the North Sea Fleet."

Banksy: "Agree!"

Barrett: "Agree!"

All the team captains: "Agree!"

In the end, everyone in the Dawn Group unanimously decided to go.

There are risks, there are unknowns, there are

This is what sailing adventure is all about.
