Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 380: A big fish called Princess
Dense fog floated on the sea surface, visibility was very low, and the speed of the three ships of the Dawn Group also slowed down.
Especially now that it is approaching evening and the temperature begins to drop, the fog becomes thicker. The visibility gradually decreased to only a few dozen meters, and even the three ships in front and behind could only see hazy shadows of each other.
With such visibility, sea-going ships would have been unable to sail. Especially in unfamiliar waters, once you hit a rock or encounter some other special circumstances, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will die.
Fortunately, the Dawn Group has Tani, a navigator who can "listen to the sounds of sea beasts". The fish told him that there were no reefs and shoals in this sea area, so they could move forward unhurriedly toward the depths of the mist.
The moonlight and starlight were obscured by thick fog, and the sea surface was almost dark. It was only thanks to the searchlights on the three warships to point out the direction that a corner of the dark sea could be illuminated.
The light-loving marine gods were attracted to swim around the ship, such as the glowing jellyfish and the shining silver fish
Everyone on the ship is on full alert.
Su Lun and Qian Jiao stayed together.
Because he could read lips, he sealed his ears with red wax.
Although it cannot be heard, it does not affect communication.
In this way, if you are attacked, there will be one person who can react.
Waiting for the siren to come to the door, the two of them chatted wordlessly.
"I'm afraid this thick fog is also the work of the Kraken. If we don't deal with them, we won't be able to catch up with the Bald Eagle at this speed."
"Yes. Sirens like to be active at night. If they sense us, they will probably come to hunt tonight."
"This kind of banshee is afraid of light and is very fragile. Ordinary alchemy bullets can cause fatal damage. But they can destroy the 'Silver Spear Group'. I'm afraid there are 'lord-level' monsters in the group. But there is no problem. Da, you should be able to kill Senjo-san with one knife. But if you can, don’t cut the neck, so as not to damage their vocal organs. It’s best to get a few living ones.”
"Okay. Leave it to me."
""
The "Song of the Siren" is said to be very evil on the sea, especially for fishermen. Because it is not easy to detect, the mortality rate is almost 100%.
But the atmosphere in the Liming Group is not too solemn.
After all, if you already know what kind of monster it is, and find a targeted response method, the danger level will be greatly reduced.
As night falls, the sea breeze becomes a little cooler.
The shadow of the moon can occasionally be seen in the sky, and the thick fog illuminated by the moon emits a strange white light.
Except for the sound of the waves, everything seemed peaceful.
At midnight, everyone on the ship should have been asleep.
Suddenly, Tani's voice came from the communicator: "Captain, they are here! The jellyfish passing by just now fed back some information. There were special sound waves from the south, about five nautical miles away from us. !"
Jellyfish are one of the marine organisms most sensitive to infrasound waves.
The [Hearing Enhancement] talent in the group hasn't heard the infrasound waves yet, but the jellyfish already know that the monster has come out to prey.
Qianjiao told Su Lun what she heard, and she sealed her ears with red wax.
At the same time, everyone on the boat took action and performed the same action of sealing their ears.
Su Lun also took out the black umbrella and observed the surroundings of the sea with concentration.
But nothing seemed to happen, and the surroundings were frighteningly calm.
But gradually, even with his ears plugged, Su Lun still felt faintly sick and sleepy.
He knew that the Kraken was approaching.
Because tactics had been arranged in advance, at this time, almost everyone on the three ships seemed to be asleep, slumped on the deck and in the cabin.
Everyone held their breath and tried their best to suppress signs of life. It looked like there were a boat full of corpses.
Su Lun also held a black umbrella and leaned against the side of the ship.
Although he couldn't see or hear, suddenly, hundreds of soul fires appeared in his perception!
"It's really here!"
Su Lun shouted sharply in his heart.
Dense fog obscures human vision, but it also restricts the sirens. They didn't notice anything unusual and flew out of the thick fog without any precautions. One after another, the monsters probably thought they were coming for a feast, and landed on the masts and sides of the three warships, staring at the "corpses" with a faint light in their eyes.
Su Lun clearly sensed the positions of the sea monsters and waited until he felt the slight vibrations from their landing on the ship.
He suddenly opened his eyes and fired the signal gun that had been prepared for a long time.
"Boom!"
The bright light bomb exploded in the fog.
Even with their eyes closed, the needle-pricking light woke everyone on the three battleships!
As soon as everyone opened their eyes, they immediately saw the faces of panicked monsters.
It is said that this siren siren looks delicate and beautiful.
But the actual situation is that it looks like a hammer!
They all have bird bodies and human faces, their mouths are full of jagged teeth, they are ugly and ferocious, and their feet have big claws like iron hooks!
Everyone in the Dawn Regiment was not polite at all to these monsters who were preparing to treat them as food, and they showed off their guns one after another.
For a while, there was a crackling explosion and a continuous sound of gunfire.
Knight was completely awakened.
Before the two hundred or so siren sirens could realize what was happening, they were "bathed" by a hail of alchemical bullets.
Barrett had already arranged detailed encirclement and killing tactics. The crew members were in groups of three to five, with clear missions. They shot all the monsters on the deck from all angles.
The trajectory of the bullets weaved into a web of fire in the darkness, giving no chance for the Kraken to escape.
The sirens who landed on the deck flapped their wings in panic and tried to take off, but before they could take off, they were killed and fell into a pool of blood.
Even those elite monsters who want to use the hull cover and stick to the sea surface to fly low and re-enter the fog, there are dedicated snipers to take care of them
As Su Lun expected, there was a fifth-level "lord" and several silver- and gold-level monsters in this group of sea monsters.
The bird bodies of those sea monsters can obviously resist too much. Even if the alchemy bullets hit their feathers and fly around, they can still stagger and still fly.
But there is no shortage of masters in the Liming Group. How can we allow those monsters to escape when they come?
After a round of artillery fire, Qian Jiao, professionals with the ability to leap into the air, also drew their weapons and jumped into the air to catch up.
Su Lun was not polite. He twisted the black sickle and slashed it several times, causing several monsters to fall into the sea.
Because of preparations in advance, although the battle was fierce, it was over within a few minutes.
Qianjou and the others chased him out, and the other crew members began to clean up the battlefield.
Except for a few slightly injured ones who were knocked unconscious and used as research samples, the others were killed to collect materials.
This Siren Siren doesn't have many valuable materials on it. Except for the Puppet Master, other professionals really can't use it.
Not long after, Senjou and the others also came back, bringing back the lord-level Siren Siren.
Kama helped Suellen remove the vocal organ from the Siren's corpse, and the other crew members began to clean the blood stains on the deck.
After the group of sea monsters were killed, the fog on the sea surface became visible to the naked eye.
The night became calm again.
The speed of the battleship has also increased
On the deck, some of the crew members were left to deal with the battlefield, while others took turns to rest.
Everyone has entered into a normal sailing schedule.
In the laboratory.
Su Lun is busy processing those fresh living organs.
This [Siren Siren's Voice] is a very precious material. He had asked in various material markets before, and only heard that there were occasionally a few ancient specimens in the collection rooms of some nobles. It's impossible to buy it outside, and no one is buying it.
But it is not easy to handle this kind of biological organ. It requires sufficient experience.
Besides, Karma was also helping to deal with the **** Kraken organs.
She cleaned and arranged the materials and put them into a glass jar filled with green liquid.
While dealing with it, I asked if I didn’t understand something.
"Teacher, why don't we use 'Strong Silver Solution' to process materials, but use 'Hippolytus Solution'?"
"Well, the antiseptic effect of 'strong silver solution' is indeed excellent. But what we are dealing with now are biological organs that are still active. If we want to ensure the original efficacy of the organs and extend their use time as much as possible, we must not only consider antisepsis , we should also consider maintaining the active characteristics as much as possible. In this way, the puppets produced will have a longer service life and better effects."
"Oh. Teacher, how can this kind of biological material be used on puppets?"
"Then you need to engrave special life runes on the puppet"
""
Su Lun has an eight-armed spider spear and originally didn't need any assistants.
But now that he has two new disciples, he has given enough patience to teach them.
Kama seems to cherish this opportunity very much. She is diligent, focused and hardworking. She feels that she has all the qualities to become an excellent alchemist.
Given time, Su Lun also felt that she would be a very powerful puppet master.
As for Yabok, who is trapped in the [Puppet Core], he is even more talented.
[B-060-Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart] The talent is born to be a puppet master. Before, it just lacked teaching and systematic knowledge. Now that he has a way to learn, he is like a sponge, able to perfectly absorb all the knowledge Su Lun imparts, and can often come up with some wonderful and unconstrained ideas.
Su Lun is also happy to carve this piece of jade
After passing through the sea area infested by the Sirens, the Dawn Group's speed became much faster. By noon the next day, Dr. Banks had determined that the biomarker was at a very close distance.
Everyone in the Dawn Regiment has entered a state of combat readiness again.
But what Su Lun and the others didn't know was that somewhere on the sea, a mysterious and sacrificial operation had begun.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and there were several ships moored on the sea. They were the "Pulsatilla" and several pirate ships.
The people on the boat had no idea that someone was already chasing them.
On one of the ships, several mysterious men wearing cloaks were chanting some strange spells to the sea. The sound was low and penetrating, penetrating the sea water and reaching the end of the deep seabed.
If there are outsiders here, they will definitely be able to see the beautiful women with blond hair and blue eyes under these cloaks, and they all have an aura of pure Holy Spirit about them.
These are the priestesses of the Temple of Agapathenon.
They held clay pots in their hands. One pot poured some luminous spirits into the sea water, another pot poured scarlet liquid, another pot poured silver powder, and another pot poured golden wheat ears
These are very precious top-grade materials, but they poured them into the sea water without any regrets.
The sacrifice is proceeding in an orderly manner.
On another inconspicuous ship, a charming woman with a **** and hot figure, even wearing a large cloak, was lazily looking at everything in front of her.
This person is none other than Skadi Harris, the thirteenth princess of the Marfa Empire, "Princess Frost Moon".
No one would have thought that she came here quietly on the ship without any royal mechanical guards.
At this moment, there were several people dressed as guards standing beside her.
Looking at it, Princess Stika suddenly said: "The high priest Helvier has prophesied that this sacrifice may encounter some unexpected situations. Tell us to be careful. Everyone, do you think the problem will happen? Where does it appear?"
Her expression was charming, but her eyes shone with wisdom.
It is not like what others have said, this is a princess who only relies on her appearance.
Her wisdom is also unparalleled by few.
Hearing this, an aide on the side replied: "The secret spies sent by the Lu Ying royal family, Grand Duke Raphael, and Grand Duke Lance should all have been buried in the Siren Sea Monster and 'Beihai' at this moment. The monster's mouth is in his mouth. And Van Gogh's masters are still contained in the city. In Beihai, there are no forces that can pose a threat to us. My subordinates feel that there will be no problem."
Princess Stika also seemed to think it was reasonable, but the doubt in her eyebrows did not dissipate. She said: "The prophecy ability of the high priests of the Agaparnon Temple has always been accurate. You can't be careless."
The man said again: "Your Highness, I have no intention of questioning your judgment. But the high priest of the temple succumbed to Oleg's power, and the majesty of the temple was not as good as before. What's more, you should It can also be seen that the woman’s faith is no longer pure. Intelligence shows that she dotes on her son Onis Popov very much. With a selfish prophet, the ability will be greatly reduced."
Princess Stika said nothing as she listened to Xiumei's challenge, but she obviously recognized her subordinate's words.
But thinking about it, she frowned again and changed the topic: "What do you think happened when there was turmoil in the city-state of Moros? Who do you think stole Agapanon? The [Golden Divine Spear] of the temple?"
"this"
Hearing this, several subordinates looked at each other, and no one could tell the reason.
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Princess Stika said: "Obviously, there is a 'mysterious force' active in Roman that our intelligence system has not grasped. My father once taught me that when facing any enemy, , cannot be taken lightly."
"What your Highness said is true."
After saying this, the subordinate lowered his head and did not speak again.
But at this moment, an inappropriate voice rang out, "Your Highness, there is no need to worry about any threats."
That was a guy with a scar on his face and sharp eyes like an eagle's eye.
He said in a lazy tone: "Since I have been hired by your Marfa, I will definitely keep His Highness safe. In the North Sea, except for Oleg and the two deputy captains of the North Sea Fleet, no one can Makes me feel threatened."
Oleg and Marfa are now allies, and he is now in the employ of the Frost Moon Princess.
This means that there are no enemies in the huge North Sea.
This is crazy and extremely conceited.
But when the people on the boat listened, no one showed even a trace of doubt on their expressions.
Because this person has a great background.
He is the "King of Thieves" Carlo Merdis, one of the "Top Ten Legendary Bounty Hunters"!
Hearing this man's statement, the arrogance in Mr. Stica's tone also restrained a lot. It was a sign of respect for the strong, "Mr. Merdisto will naturally worry about this trip."
Her delicate white fingers tapped on the side of the ship, making a rhythmic tapping sound.
After chatting for a while, Stika suddenly thought of something, and then smiled and asked casually: "Last time, I heard that Mr. Meldis encountered a little trouble in the Silent Forest. What about Mr. Mirror?" What’s the origin?”
Her tone sounded like a joke, but it didn't make anyone feel disgusted at all.
Hearing this, a flash of embarrassment flashed across the cloaked man's face, as if he recalled some bad memories.
But a professional at his level would not avoid the topic of defeat. He would just respond with a solemn look: "That woman is very strong! She is a high-level vampire, so she should not be one of those demi-humans. Later I I have also investigated, and now it seems that there is no connection with any force, as if it appeared out of thin air."
Princess Stika said: "I agree with what Oleg said. The woman seemed to come from Archduke Raphael's mine. But at that time, she was not that strong. At least, she was far from being able to hurt Mei. The situation of Mr. Erdis. Later, it was reported that she was closely related to "Blood Count" Antonio Harris and may be a blood ancestor who had been dormant for a long time. ”
The cloaked man fell into silence, and he asked: "Your Highness suspects her?"
Princess Stika shook her head and said: "No. There is intelligence that the major forces in Lu Ying are now paying attention to the 'Mr. Mirror'. She cannot be in Beihai now. I just asked casually."
The man in the cloak said: "When the temple priests contact the person in the 'Hai Ruins' and offer sacrifices, then your highness, Princess, will get that thing, and we will go directly to the Void Ruins."
Princess Stika said: "That's the best."
But at this time, very suddenly, the man on the watchtower on the mast noticed something and shouted.
"Attention everyone, three unidentified ships were discovered at ten o'clock! They did not hoist their flags, they seem to be coming towards us!"
"What?!"
Hearing this, not only Princess Stika and the cloaked man, but also everyone was surprised.
This is not the route to Alcatraz Island, so appearing here must be for them.
Someone would actually chase you here?
Those sea monsters didn’t kill them?
These three ships are naturally the three battleships of the Dawn Regiment!
Princess Stika's people discovered the Dawn Regiment's ship, and Su Lun and the others naturally discovered them as well.
"Everyone is ready to fight!"
"The artillery is calibrated and ready to fire when ordered!"
""
Barrett issued a battle preparation order through the communicator.
No verbosity, no need to confirm anything at all.
The "Balad Eagle" and several ships appeared here and hit them with one shot. They would never accidentally injure innocent people.
In the sky, the death bird was hovering there, and Su Lun had already had a panoramic view of the movements of those ships.
Looking at the behavior of the cloaked men on the deck, Su Lun was even more certain that the conspiracy this time was definitely caused by the people from the Agapanaon Temple.
The behavior of those priests looks very evil
No matter who is on the other side's ship, fight first and then talk!
Moreover, the Dawn Regiment also has a huge advantage, that is, the range of its artillery is much farther than that of its opponent!
In order to hide their identity, those guys found a few ordinary pirate ships when they set sail. Although I don't know why they were traveling so fast before, the ship-borne artillery and other items are very ordinary, just regular market products.
The artillery on the three ships of the Dawn Regiment are confiscated Marfa military artillery. This is a hard product that cannot be bought on the market!
The maximum range is several times that of the market products!
This means that they can hit each other now, but the other party can't hit them at all.
So, as soon as he got close to the shooting range, Barrett immediately ordered: "Fire!"
Nearly a hundred artillery pieces fired in a salvo, the sound was exaggerated to the extreme
In the distance, Princess Stika and her group on the Bald Eagle were confused.
They watched the cannonballs coming from the sky. They were shocked and stunned, but at the same time they felt that they could not die.
What kind of hatred or resentment is this, and a volley of artillery fire comes as soon as it comes?
