Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 47: The Archduke of Reims

Su Lun used the eight-armed spider spear to speed across the sea for a while and then stopped.

Then I watched the man in the flowered shirt flying over on the broken mast, stamping his feet and falling from the sky to the sea.

The two of them could see their faces clearly from a distance of dozens of meters. Su Lun confirmed again that he had never seen this guy before.

After looking at the attire, although it was very casual, the workmanship and material of this fancy shirt were not cheap, and it was definitely not something ordinary people could afford. It looks a bit like the trend in the Luying Imperial Capital. The white hair on his head can tell that this person is not young, but the strong and knotted muscles all over his body also give people a strong visual contrast. The energy and blood are strong, and the whole person's energy and spirit are excellent. He is domineering, majestic, and has a sense of bohemianness.

It's not just his appearance. There is a flash of heroism between this guy's brows from time to time. This kind of courage is definitely not something ordinary people can fake.

I guess he looks a bit like a battle-hardened veteran?

In soul perception, this guy is very strong!

A hint of caution appeared in Su Lun's eyes, and he had some rough guesses about the identity of the visitor.

When he looked at the man in the flowered shirt, the other man was also looking at him.

However, this guy's eyes are not friendly.

From head to toe, his gaze was like looking at a thief who stole the cabbage from his garden.

This made Su Lun feel strange again. How could this old man show such an exaggerated and jealous attitude?

But they didn’t take action as soon as they met, obviously they followed the rules of “duel”.

Su Lun felt a little confused, but he also asked: "Who are you?"

As soon as he said this, he didn't expect that the other party would not be polite to him at all. Instead, he choked: "Haha, the skin is quite attractive. But I don't know if I can bear the beating."

Su Lun's eyes twitched slightly as he listened.

You can't hide the look in someone's eyes.

Just as the stupid bird predicted, the man in the flower shirt was determined to beat him up.

But Su Lun felt even more confused. He asked again cautiously: "Sir, do we know each other?"

Ask clearly to avoid any misunderstanding of mistaken identity.

"I don't know."

The man in the floral shirt picked his nostrils and paid no attention to the meaning of his words. He said directly: "Boy, prepare for a 'duel'. Don't worry, I won't kill you."

""

Su Lun didn’t know where this inexplicable hostility came from, but he certainly didn’t feel any killing intent.

The style of "duelling" has been popular in Lu Ying for a long time. It is usually understood that neither party uses any foreign objects, such as breeding equipment and cursed objects.

Just compete with the palace sword, or just rely on your fists.

Fight until one party admits defeat.

This kind of competition is usually not easy to kill, and the winner can be determined, so nobles and gentlemen like to play this game very much.

But usually, this kind of duel is between love rivals.

Su Lun felt even more unreasonable.

But looking at the situation, the other party gave him no room to refuse.

The man in the flowered shirt is a proper old gentleman. Before starting the duel, he said: "Boy, I'm going to fight!"

Su Lun didn't know how to answer him, so he responded with a twitch in the corner of his eye.

But as soon as he finished speaking, white waves several meters high suddenly exploded on the sea.

There was a "pop" sound in the air, and the mast that the man in the flowered shirt was standing on was suddenly broken into pieces by the huge force, and the whole man had already rushed over.

"So fast!"

Su Lun's expression suddenly froze when he saw it.

The old man looked out of control, and his strength was truly terrifying.

The distance of tens of meters can be reached in an instant.

Although the two of them haven't touched each other yet, Su Lun already felt a mountain-like sense of oppression. The iron fist rushed forward, and a strange force pressed Su Lun's body to the point where he stiffened uncontrollably. on the spot.

An ordinary fifth-level professional would have taken this punch hard.

Unfortunately, Su Lun used [Teleport] the moment he saw him take action, leaving only a shadow on the spot.

This punch will naturally fail.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the guy blowing up the shadow with a punch, like a cannonball falling on the sea and bursting into white waves.

The beast-like figure suddenly turned around on the sea. When I looked again, I saw that the man was already close to his face.

Su Lun recognized the movement technique of stopping and changing directions in the air, and exclaimed in his heart: "Ji·Empty Step?"

He himself knows this movement technique, but compared with the guy in front of him, the gap should not be too big.

When the man in the flowery shirt used it, it was almost the same as teleportation. These two consecutive displacements gave him no chance to breathe at all.

Su Lun teleported again and avoided the punch.

Another punch came, but he dodged it again

Punch again, avoid again

Su Lun's void displacement ability is no longer what it used to be, and the casting gap of [Teleport] is almost negligible. No matter how fast the opponent is, it's hard to beat the teleportation speed with his physical body.

With this skill, he will be difficult to defeat.

This is why Su Lun dared to come to the meeting alone.

In these two breaths, the two fought for more than ten rounds.

The man in the flowery shirt was angered by Su Lun's slippery tactics. He suddenly stopped and shouted angrily: "Hey, boy! A duel is a duel. If you continue to act like this, don't blame me for bullying you with my rank!"

""

Su Lun was speechless after hearing this.

Now he doesn't see that this guy is ridiculously strong in melee combat.

It’s okay for me, a puppet master, to fight in hand-to-hand combat with you, a reckless man.

Are you still allowed to stand and get beaten without using spatial means?

"Humph!"

The man in the flowered shirt seemed to see through Su Lun's thoughts. He snorted coldly, and circles of ripples visible to the naked eye suddenly formed on his body surface.

Like some weird energy field distorting the air, the ripples quickly covered a large area around him, and even the sea surface he stepped on was dented by the force of the force. A big pit of more than ten meters. As soon as this ultimate move was released, a terrifying coercion emanated from this guy.

In an instant, his temperament changed from a ruthless brown bear to a terrifying ancient beast!

"Field?"

Seeing this scene, Su Lun's pupils shrank suddenly: "Seventh-level professional!"

The number of professionals above level six is ​​too small, and there are not enough samples to refer to, so it is not easy to judge the level through soul fluctuations.

Just now he suspected that this old man might be more than the sixth level. But I didn't see him releasing the field, so I thought it might be level six.

I didn’t expect it, he is really a top professional!

Holy shit!

You don’t follow martial ethics!

You can't afford it!

Su Lun complained in his heart. As soon as he saw this field coming out, he immediately knew that he couldn't beat it.

Originally, he should have just moved away and escaped, but after thinking about it for a moment, it seemed that this fight had to be fought.

Moreover, without giving him any room to think, the man in the flowery shirt suddenly rushed over.

This time, the speed was much faster than before.

The directional displacement within a short distance is even faster than Su Lun’s teleportation!

Before anyone arrived, the terrifying pressure swept over them. It was the level suppression of domineering power and the expansion of the domain.

Su Lun's scalp was numb from the pressure. Before he could form a seal, his body was suppressed by the strange force field. It was like a mountain weighing ten thousand kilograms on his chest. Even his breathing became stagnant, let alone raising his hand to pinch the warlock. print.

In this area, ordinary fifth-level professionals may not have any room to fight back.

But how could Su Lun be an ordinary fifth level person?

The moment he realized something was wrong, his eyes suddenly became bloodshot, and he shouted softly in his heart: "Flesh and Flesh Alchemy·Five Solutions of Hormones Rampant!"

After a large amount of hormones were poured into the muscles and internal organs, surging strength poured into his limbs, allowing him to instantly break free from the oppressive feeling.

The moment he could lift his hand, Su Lun pinched it with two surgeon seals, "Mysterious Rune King Kong!"

Looking again, a layer of dark golden fish scale runes appeared on his skin.

After doing all this, the fist wind has come over.

Although he knew he was going to be beaten, Su Lun did not use teleportation to escape this time. He chose to take the punch forcefully.

Because he has roughly guessed this guy's identity!

"Boom!"

His fist touched his cheek, and his face swayed in waves. Even if he tried his best to avoid it with a flying step, the punch hit his face firmly.

Su Lun flew out instantly, creating a series of white waves on the sea. After rolling for a long time, he fell into the sea.

Probably because Su Lun didn't teleport away, the man in the flowered shirt got a punch, and his mood instantly became great.

This guy stopped pursuing and closed his territory again, seemingly preparing for a fair "duel".

He watched Su Lun get punched by him, but he was fine at all. He saw some tricks and smacked his lips: "Oh~ this flesh and blood alchemy secret technique is a bit interesting, and the [King Kong] secret technique is also good, and there are also talismans. The body-refining method of the literary sorcerer lineage? Tsk tsk, I have mastered all the means to save my life."

Su Lun stepped on the water twice before standing firmly on the water. He looked at the person opposite again with complicated eyes.

The old man in the flowered shirt saw his empty-handed step, and seemed to have discovered something interesting. He narrowed his eyes and said: "[Ji·Air-step]? Tsk tsk, this martial skill was improved by me, except for war. Those boys in the academy have never learned from outsiders. What they learned is quite complex, but it’s a pity that the martial arts and body fit are not good enough.”

""

Su Lun listened and did not deny it in his heart.

Martial skills are all stolen from others. Although the experience is enough, the coordination with the body is indeed far less good than what you can practice yourself.

Although this gap makes no difference in the eyes of ordinary people, in the eyes of top professionals, the difference is huge.

The man in the flowered shirt seemed determined to beat him up. Without saying anything, he charged over again.

Su Lun guessed the identity of the other party, stopped teleporting, and faced him bravely.

No matter what the other party’s purpose is, if they don’t go all out, they will definitely get beaten.

The two figures were intertwined, and they were all punching to the flesh.

In this battle, the two fought extremely fiercely.

How could Su Lun, a puppet master, be able to defeat a power professional who was already two levels higher?

He was beaten again and again and fell into the water again and again, and white waves exploded on the sea.

Embarrassed

Seeing Su Lun being beaten, on the deck of the Evernight in the distance, everyone in the Dawn Group was extremely nervous.

Lolota: "Why doesn't Mr. Sullen need to teleport?"

Kama: "The opponent seems to be a seventh-level professional? I just saw him using the field."

Tani: "Huh, that old man is so despicable. A melee professional dueled with a puppet master!"

Yarbock: "Teacher knows that close combat is not his strength, so why bother fighting?"

All the young men were filled with indignation and wanted to go up and help.

On the deck, Senjo and Barrett also watched solemnly.

Qian Tiao's hands were always on the knife, always ready to help.

But as she looked at it, she was also confused, "You can't beat that kid. He obviously has ways to deal with it. Why do you keep getting beaten? Are you really going to a duel?"

Barrett saw the move of the man in the flowered shirt and recognized the man's identity. The look on his face suddenly became strange and said: "Su Lun seems to have recognized the identity of that gentleman. That’s why I chose to fight head-on."

Senjou heard Barrett's strange tone and tilted his head and asked, "Do you know that person?"

Barrett sighed and said in a complicated tone: "Yes. That person was my instructor when I was studying at the Royal Academy."

As he spoke, he murmured with confusion on his face: "But why is he here? It shouldn't be. Now that he has inherited the position of Duke, why would he come to trouble Su Lun?"

Qianjou also showed a puzzled look: "Duke?"

Barrett nodded and said: "Lu Ying's top nobleman, 'Tulip Duke' Bartolo Lance. There is probably no need to worry, the instructor is a very upright person. But why did he come here?" Is Su Lun in trouble?"

Qianjou's expression suddenly became strange when she heard that. She seemed to have thought of something and said, "You said this, and I seem to understand why this person came here. Su Lun once said before that he knew A young lady from a big noble family has helped him several times. The last time you rescued someone in the city of Moros, it was the information they provided. But he doesn’t know which girl she is from."

Barrett seemed to understand something when he heard Senjou's words, "The instructor does have several daughters. Calculating his age, he should be the youngest daughter, Miss Ekaterina."

Qian Tiao seemed to be very interested in this kind of gossip, and said with a little excitement: "Have you seen it?"

"No."

Barrett shook his head, but then said: "However, I have heard of it. Miss Ekaterina is very famous in the imperial capital. It is said that she is very beautiful, and she was very beautiful when she was studying at the Royal Academy. She is known as 'the most beautiful woman in the Royal Academy'. She is also smart, knowledgeable and has countless suitors."

Qian Tiao listened to the blazing fire of gossip in his eyes and said: "Hey~ So, it was Su Lun who molested the girl, and her father came to visit?"

Although she didn't know the specific dispute between the two, with Su Lun's Neptune physique, the girl would most likely suffer.

Case solved.

This is what this inexplicable duel is all about.

My cabbage was eaten by a pig. Is this the woman’s parent coming to see what the pig looks like?

With this statement, the atmosphere of watching the battle on the Yongye suddenly changed.

Everyone was no longer worried, but instead gathered around in a lively mood, watching Su Lun being beaten, pointing and laughing from time to time.

They always watch Mr. Su Lun, whom they consider to be an invincible monster, killing everyone,

It was the first time I saw him deflated,

It’s also super interesting!

Half an hour later.

The duel is over.

The two of them stood apart on the sea.

Su Lun received a solid beating and looked at the man in the flowered shirt opposite with a helpless look.

Even if he is already very strong, it is impossible for him to defeat a seventh-level professional.

No matter whether you use all your strength or not, you can't beat it.

On the other hand, Duke Bartolo seemed satisfied with beating Su Lun, and he did not forget to comment on Su Lun's performance, "The boy is not bad. I heard that you are also a puppet master? Tsk tsk, you have such a body. The quality is pretty good."

""

Listening to these words, Su Lun made no response except expressing helplessness with his eyes.

But he didn't know that even though he only said a few words, the Grand Duke had never given such a high evaluation to any young man.

But he still felt baffled.

Although I guessed that this was Katyusha's elder, I also felt that the beating was a bit unfair.

Su Lun didn't bother to ask in detail. Now that the outcome of the duel was known, he asked again: "Senior, why are you here this time?"

80% of the time he is Katyusha's father, so it makes sense to use the honorific title.

Apart from some unknown reasons, the man in the flowered shirt made a good impression on Su Lun. At least that generosity is not etched in his bones.

Duke Bartolo did not intend to talk about private matters and said directly: "Now the Luying royal family, the Marfa Empire, Vogt Raphael, Oleg, all forces are looking for you. You can be very responsible. He said, if you don't find a powerful enough force to protect you, you will encounter a steady stream of troubles no matter where you appear. Even in the West China Sea and the South China Sea, there are a large number of secret spies from Lu Ying nobles. Even if you want to be a pirate, you will not be able to do it. ”

Su Lun was not surprised when he heard this.

This is the situation faced by the Dawn Regiment now. They have offended two empires and are actually enemies on all sides.

It is said that you can be a pirate, but in fact, wherever there are people gathering, there are spies secretly infiltrated by the two empires.

Other pirates survive simply because they are not worth the high price of capture.

The Dawn Group now has Marfa's submarine, the treasures in the Void Ruins, Grand Duke Raphael's neuromechanical technology, and the secrets of the Luying royal family

Each one is a huge amount of wealth that is enough to make the top nobles red-eye.

It may not be fully exposed yet, but as long as anyone knows a little bit of the news, they will definitely want to take a bite.

This man in the flowered shirt can call Grand Duke Raphael by his first name, so he is naturally a top noble.

The meaning of these words is also very obvious. He is the "powerful force" that can protect the Dawn Regiment.

But if you really want to protect them, you will cause a lot of trouble.

Whether it’s a win-win or not, there is more or less Katyusha’s face in it.

However, Su Lun naturally has some considerations.

They are no ordinary pirate group.

Hearing this, he pondered for a moment, and then responded: "Thank you, senior, for reminding me."

Bartolo raised his eyebrows when he heard that he didn't respond directly, as if he was slightly surprised that Su Lun rejected the offer of olive branch.

But people have also seen it, and as an old father, his bad breath has also come out.

He said this without saying anything, and said: "Since you have your own considerations, then so be it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the waves and left without leaving the water.

As dashing as he came.

Su Lun originally wanted to be polite and ask for some news, but looking at the retreating figure, he could only give up

After another half a month, the mighty encirclement and suppression operation also ceased.

The encirclement and suppression of the North Sea Fleet has completely turned into a joke.

Mounted heavy troops and destroyed several reorganized divisions, but not even a single person from the Dawn Regiment was captured.

If it were so easy to catch people at sea, the pirates would have been rounded up by the official navy long ago.

Not to mention the fact that there is a gap on the warship.

The "Eternal Night Emperor" of the Dawn Regiment is faster than any sail warship in the North Sea. It is impossible for them to be caught up in the vast and endless desert sea.

What's more, after they met the Blue Knight Pirates and Su Lun received a beating, they became even more careful.

After grabbing enough supplies, they no longer continued to encroach on the North Sea Fleet, but wandered around in the deserted sea.

The following days were also very stable.

Without the pirate encirclement, everyone in the Dawn Group is still very busy.

Because he had brought detailed experimental data and a large amount of materials from the Void Secret Realm, Dr. Banks developed the first batch of [Void Gene Potions] in a very short period of time.

Su Lun has the Eye of Omniscient, and there is no need to wait for any clinical trials. If there is no problem, he can use it directly.

A large number of Dawn members, including Senjou, were injected with medicine, and almost all of them successfully gained void affinity. The great alchemist "Herbert Hilbery" of the Dawn Era left this great gift to future generations, which raised the strength of the Dawn Regiment to a new level.

The void colonization equipment and advanced materials also came in handy, and everyone was busy improving their strength.

This day.

There was light rain in the sky, and there were several meters of waves on the sea.

On the mast, Su Lun was meditating cross-legged.

Ever since he discovered that basking in the sun can help better integrate [Isaac’s Alchemical Heart], he has been staying on the mast all day long.

The days are quite leisurely.

If you look closely, you can see bruises on Su Lun's face, which were left after the beating that day.

Because of this, I was teased a lot by Chijou.

Even after so many days, he still occasionally feels slight pain.

It's not easy to recover from being beaten by a domineering attack. It's not a serious injury, it just hurts.

It’s quite memorable.

Su Lun then knew that Katyusha was the little princess of the Duke of Reims.

The old nobles who have controlled the six northern provinces of Luying for hundreds of years do have that strength.

However, although Su Lun felt that he had a good relationship with Katyusha, he would not let the grand duke's father come to visit him personally.

He didn't understand, and he had no place to ask.

On the contrary, he contacted some of the things that happened before and guessed that the Lance family might have a big conspiracy. Shan Yin, the North Sea Fleet, the Luying Military Intelligence Agency, and Roman all have hidden secrets. The strength of the Lance family hidden under the water is truly terrifying.

While meditating, my thoughts were wandering. Suddenly, I heard the ugly call of a black crow, like a scraper and a saw: "The ship is coming! The ship is coming!"

At the same time, the observer in the observation deck on the top of the mast also shouted down excitedly: "Mr. Sullen, the ship you mentioned flying the flag of the 'Beluga Chamber of Commerce' is here!"

Su Lun immediately became energetic upon hearing this.

Mr. Mirror is here!
