Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 48: Some situations in small talk

Everyone in the Dawn Group knows that they are not just a pirate group, but an organization Dawn.

In addition to the bosses of Su Lun, there is also a very mysterious leader in the organization.

When they saw the ship flying the "Beluga Chamber of Commerce Flag" approaching, everyone came to the deck. Even a tech geek like Dr. Banks rarely came out of the Small Void World. Waiting eagerly to welcome the legendary leader on board.

After all, Mr. Jing is not only the leader of the Dawn Group, but also one of the strongest professionals in the world. He is also a legendary figure.

The daughter of Sir Isaac, the alchemical demigod who lived for a thousand years, this is a living "epic".

The atmosphere on the deck was very serious, as if even breathing became tense. Everyone in the Dawn Group was waiting quietly.

To others, Mr. Jing is an unattainable big shot, but to Su Lun and Qian Jiao, he is just a good friend they have not seen for a long time.

When he saw that the three-masted sailboat was still more than a hundred meters away, Su Lun, who was standing on the mast, saw Mr. Jing in a cloak and greeted warmly: "Senior sister!"

Xunyin, the man under the cloak, looked up, revealing a cold lower face. Although her expression could not be seen clearly, one could see the gentle upward curve of the corners of her mouth. She lifted up her cloak, and her familiar and beautiful face was exposed to the sun.

Looking at Su Lun and Qian Jiao, she responded with a faint smile.

At this appearance, everyone marveled at Mr. Jing's beauty, and at the same time, they were subdued by the powerful aura.

It is the tyranny of a top professional, the aloofness of the ancestor of vampires, and the mystery of a legendary figure recorded in history

The moment Mr. Mirror lifted his cloak, everyone in the Dawn group, except Su Lun and Qian Jiao, looked directly at her, with lowered eyebrows.

This is the kind of respect that comes from the bottom of my heart for the leader and the strong

Not only Mr. Mirror, there are more than ten people wearing red and black cloaks on the deck of the opposite ship. They look like they are not ordinary humans.

Those who are qualified to stand beside Mr. Mirror are not weak, at least they are vampires who have lived for a hundred years.

Su Lun felt it and murmured in his heart: "Mr. Jing's blood descendants are also very strong."

Although the soul of a vampire is different from that of a human being, it naturally does not live as long as that of a human being.

The next moment Su Lun said hello, there was a flash of light and shadow, and Mr. Jing and a group of people jumped up and landed on the deck of the Evernight.

With others present, Su Lun did not act too casually and asked: "Senior sister, did you have a smooth journey along the way?"

Mr. Jing responded calmly: "Except for some bumps in the wind and waves, everything else is fine."

Su Lun didn't say much, and directly introduced the people around him, "This is Dr. Banks, whom I told you before, and this is Captain Barrett, and these They are all members of our Dawn Group"

After listening to the introduction, Mr. Jing smiled lightly and said: "Welcome everyone to join Liming."

"Meet the leader."

Hearing this, Barrett, Banks and others all made a gentleman's greeting with one hand protecting his chest.

Then everyone on the deck followed suit and saluted in unison.

Mr. Jing had a gentle smile on his face and waved his hand: "You don't need to be so formal. Su Lun should have told everyone before that our 'Dawn' is a free and equal organization of alchemists, not so... Be more restrained. From now on, we will all be friends working hard for common beliefs and goals."

Su Lun knew that Mr. Jing had no airs and did not have the hierarchy of a feudal lord. This was also her basic attitude.

But the first meeting is always unfamiliar. When everyone heard this, except for responding "yes", everyone still seemed very reserved.

After all, this is a top powerhouse in front of him.

Regardless of seniority or strength, no one has the right to act arrogantly in front of her.

After a brief introduction to each other, everyone began to disperse, those who controlled the sails and those who went to the kitchen went to the kitchen

Mr. Jing and others are also from the same "Dawn". They have come to meet up. There will be a grand welcome dinner tonight, and a lot of ingredients need to be prepared. There are also a lot of supplies that need to be carried on board the Beluga Chamber of Commerce.

Everyone is also busy

Su Lun and Senjou were walking on the deck with Mr. Mirror, chatting and reminiscing about old times, and taking a look at the Evernight.

Senjou and Mr. Kagami are also good friends. We haven’t seen each other for a long time and have too much to say.

Mr. Jing looked at this "Poseidon-class" battleship and sighed with emotion: "'Poseidon-class battleships' were rarely seen a thousand years ago. The main reason is that suitable keels and wood are hard to find. I didn't expect you to find them." I found one. This is a great opportunity."

Su Lun smiled and said: "This boat was found in Hai Ruins. This is all thanks to your guidance, senior sister, otherwise we would have been unable to get out of Hai Ruins."

Mr. Jing smiled noncommittally: "By the way, Su Lun. Didn't you say before that you need some special materials for making mechanical armor? Armand alloy, magic pattern brass, and dragon blood black iron are all given to you on the ship. I brought some over. But the reserve of sea-going ships is limited and the quantity is not too much. The Chamber of Commerce is still trying to raise funds. Recently they have contacted a large arms dealer, and the quantity should not be small. If you want to take it, what Then I have to go to Luying in person."

Su Lun was overjoyed when he heard this, "Wow, senior sister, you have solved my urgent need!"

Now his mechanical war workshop is fully operational, but it just lacks raw materials. It's not hard to find ordinary steel, but the rare metals used to make special parts are completely nowhere to be found. Especially now that he is wanted by the North Sea Fleet and cannot dock anywhere, material supplies are becoming increasingly scarce.

Now that Mr. Mirror has brought some, they can turn into dozens of mechanical armors in a short time, and they can immediately become combat effectiveness.

There is no need to be polite to his senior sister, Su Lun laughed and accepted it.

Mr. Jing also smiled lightly and said nothing more.

At this time, Su Lun also felt a few timid glances coming over him. He turned his head and saw that they were naturally the half-grown guys from Lolota.

They were secretly looking at Mr. Jing with curious and surprised eyes from time to time. It seems that this legendary "leader" is not as scary as expected, nor is he the "serious and old-fashioned old man" they whispered before. On the contrary, she is very beautiful and her tone is kind, giving people a very friendly feeling.

But as a disciple, Su Lun felt that he still needed to make a special introduction.

He motioned to the young men behind him to come forward and introduced: "Sister, these are my new disciples, Yabok and Kama. They are two siblings. They are also from the lineage of Brother Boyle. Direct descendant."

Hearing this, Kama and Yaboko obediently bowed and saluted: "Hello, uncle."

Mr. Jing glanced at the two of them, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "The descendants of Junior Brother Boyle? They have very good talents."

As soon as these words came out, the seniority was immediately revealed.

Facing their ancestor's junior sister, the two siblings only had reverence in their eyes at this moment.

Su Lun introduced again: "This is Lolota, a disciple of Sister Senjo. And Tani, the current chief navigator of our Dawn Regiment, is a mixed race of Naga tribe."

Lolota saluted excitedly, "Hello, chief!"

Tani also puffed out his chest, trying to make himself more like a little man: "Hello, chief."

Mr. Jing was as gentle as ever: "Everyone is great."

These energetic young people are really like the rising sun. In her eyes, she saw prosperity

In the evening, a grand welcome dinner was held on the ship.

"Dawn" has always been a very loose organization. Mr. Jing said he is the "leader", but he does not have a superior-subordinate relationship with other members. Everyone is like-minded allies, and once we get to know each other, there is actually no barrier. There is one more leader, no difference from before. Everyone does what they are supposed to do, nothing changes.

Mr. Jing's temperament is inherently cold. Although she is easy to get along with, she actually doesn't like liveliness.

Su Lun and the others have known this for a long time.

After the dinner, Senjou pulled Mr. Mirror and refused to go back to the White Whale Chamber of Commerce ship, insisting that they go visit her luxurious bathtub together.

Now the Liming Group is indeed not short of money, and is even very wealthy. But because it has not docked yet, the infrastructure on the ship is not complete. For example, many other crew members do not even have beds in the cabins, and they still sleep in military sleeping bags.

But it was a different scene in the captain's cabin. Because Su Lun had prepared in advance and arranged many high-quality daily necessities. This is almost an unimaginable luxury condition on any other sail warship.

Qianjou led Mr. Jing into the captain's cabin, turned on the crystal lantern, and the spacious room came into view.

A large bed, some simple furniture, but the most important thing is the oversized bathtub.

Qian Jiao pointed to the bathtub behind the shower curtain and showed off to Mr. Chao Jing: "Filo, look, the big bathtub I bought is good, right? Let me tell you, you can't enjoy this kind of treatment on other ships. ”

Mr. Jing looked around the room and smiled slightly, "You will actually enjoy it."

There are no outsiders, so they have no worries about chatting. Chijou greeted Mr. Jing enthusiastically and said: "Let's take a bath together. Let me tell you, taking a bath on a boat has a different taste. You have been floating on the sea for so long, and you will definitely feel very good after taking a bath. Soothing."

When he was in Old Lingdun, Mr. Jing was also a frequent visitor to "Akun's Family Soup Room", and the two of them often went to the hot spring bath together, but it was no surprise.

However, at this time, Mr. Jing looked at the only big bed in the room, with a flash of narrowness in his eyes, and asked, "Do you live with Su Lun?"

Qianjou responded casually: "Yes. But this guy usually stays in the laboratory and rarely comes back."

Of course she knew what Mr. Jing wanted to express, but with her bold personality, there was no way she could be coy about it, so she admitted it openly.

Qian Tiao poked Su Lun behind him with his elbow, raised his eyebrows and said slyly: "Boy Su Lun, do you want to take a bath together later?"

""

Su Lun rolled her eyes and said nothing.

From the moment he entered the room, he acted like a transparent person the whole time. I originally thought it was time to leave and let my senior sister, who was tired from traveling, have a good rest, but I thought that Mr. Xiang Jing must have something to say, so I followed him.

The three of them were already very familiar with each other, and Mr. Jing had long been used to Qianjo's temperament, so he smiled and said nothing.

Qianjou closed the door casually.

Su Lun took a half step back like a gentleman, stood behind his senior sister, took off her vampire cloak and hung it on the coat rack.

Although they were familiar with each other, Mr. Jing responded politely: "Thank you."

Qianjo took one look at it and joked: "Filo, your dress is very beautiful~"

Hearing this, Su Lunduo also took a look.

Mr. Jing has always been very particular about her clothes. She has the elegance and nobility of a truly ancient family in her heart. She was wearing a dark gothic-style dress with a **** deep V-neckline on her chest, and her neck was as slender as a black swan.

Tall and gentle as jade, half exposed and half hidden, it is very eye-catching to look at.

A large area of ​​her beautiful back was also exposed. Because of her vampire status, her skin was fair and shiny under the light.

The hip-hugging skirt outlines the perfect figure line, with beautifully textured lace cutouts, making it full of mystery. It's still the cold and **** dressing style.

Mr. Jing joked: "Why, Qiantiao is suddenly interested in skirts?"

Qianjou shrugged lazily, "No. I just think you look good in your clothes."

Mr. Jing smiled noncommittally.

Because she was staying the night here, she didn't care about it. She sat in front of the dressing table and took off the jewelry she was wearing, including necklaces, earrings, and rings one by one.

Su Lun had nothing to do, so he sat on the sofa.

The three of them also chatted word by word.

If you couldn't speak clearly on the communicator before, you can now use it to chat.

There is a lot to talk about about the adventures that the Dawn Group has had during this time.

We talked about some adventurous topics, and Mr. Jing also listened with great interest.

At this time, Qianjou asked casually: "Fino, what have you been busy with recently?"

"Isn't it in the Silent Forest before? Then I went to Senodia Province. My blood descendants have a territory there and it is developing well. It is also because of them that we can save a lot of time in the process of the Dawn Project. Then I went to the Luying Imperial Capital, and the situation there was very complicated."

When Mr. Jing said this, his expression gradually became serious.

Su Lun and Qian Jiao also looked sideways, waiting carefully for what was to come.

Mr. Jing continued: "I actually don't care how chaotic Lu Ying's political situation is. It makes no difference no matter who is the emperor. But in the alchemical civilization, the divine power must not be in power! This will bring destruction to the alchemical civilization. Disaster!"

Theocracy and alchemists are antagonistic.

Because alchemists study the nature of the world, they view everything in the world, including "gods", with suspicion and dialectics.

This is in conflict with divine authority.

It can be said that the alchemical civilization can tolerate believers of God.

But in a theocratic civilization, there is absolutely no soil that allows alchemists to develop!

When Su Lun heard this, he thought of something and his expression became stern: "Senior sister, are you sure this has something to do with the peace between the Bona royal family?"

"Yeah."

Mr. Jing nodded and continued: "Because after the Luying royal family announced the imperial decree not prohibiting the spread of faith, various external **** sects appeared in Lindun, the imperial capital, and there were many evil **** sects that advocated the extinction of mankind. And because of a certain Due to the operations of some behind-the-scenes pushers, this trend is still rising like a plague. If the officials do not stop it, it is very likely that the alchemical civilization will be completely destroyed."

Su Lun also realized the seriousness of the matter.

The two empires of Luying and Marfa are now dominated by princesses. If the aristocracy does not promote the development of civilization and improve the level of productivity, then they can only exploit and suppress the people at the bottom if they want to continue to gain wealth. The fact is that the development of alchemical civilization has not made much progress for almost a thousand years, and has even regressed. The more oppression there is, the worse the living conditions of the civilians and slaves at the bottom will be, and the more they will complain against the people in power at the top. This situation makes it easy to be incited by various beliefs in foreign gods, and it also gives various sects an opportunity to take advantage of it.

This is indeed a fatal problem.

If theocracy really takes over, it will definitely be a devastating disaster for the alchemical civilization.

And what is even worse now is that the foreign **** seems to directly control some important figures in the Luying royal family, which is why the divine power has expanded so quickly.

Su Lun thought of the information he had stripped away before, frowned and asked: "Senior sister, have you heard of the 'Giant Hermitage'?"

Mr. Jing nodded, "I've heard of it. There is intelligence that proves that this 'Giant Hermitage' is spread secretly among the Linton aristocracy, and those who can come into contact are some influential figures. But compared to other It’s a church that doesn’t have a great reputation at the moment.”

After hearing this, Su Lun said: "Then the mastermind behind this 'Giant Hermitage' should be the 'outer god' we met in the God Burial Place in the Cursed Valley."

As he spoke, he recounted the previous encounter in Haixu.

"Yeah."

Mr. Jing nodded as he listened and fell into deep thought. After a while, she said again: "So, we, 'Ling Ming', must show our prominence in front of the world as soon as possible. This is also the most important purpose of my visit this time."

The topic became more serious as the conversation progressed. The casual chat between the three of them, which they finally met, seemed like a high-level meeting turning into a business-related discussion.

Qianjou seemed a little bored as she listened, thinking things that used her brain had never been her strong point.

She watched Su Lun and Mr. Jing fall into a brief silence, and suddenly interrupted: "Hey, hey, Philo, it's not easy to meet each other, don't always talk about serious topics. Come and take a bath together. ."

Mr. Jing also felt that the atmosphere was a bit too serious. He smiled slightly and agreed happily: "Okay."

After floating on the sea for so long, for a vampire with mysophobia, nothing could make her happier than taking a good bath.

As Qian Jiao said, he went to open the hot water pipe of the boiler.

Although there are ventilation ducts, hot water flows in the bathtub, and a light layer of steam floats on the roof of the house.

After the water was boiled, Qianjou immediately untied the belt of his clothes as usual, and then took off his clothes directly in front of the two people in the room.

She thought Mr. Mirror had seen it, and Su Lun had also seen it. Looking at the two of them now, there seems to be no difference.

Then she untied the gauze wrapping her **** and walked into the bathroom naked.

Before rinsing with boiling water, she did not forget to say: "By the way, Philo, there are no clothes for bathing here. You either have to be naked or find your own clothes to wear."

Mr. Jing looked at Qian Jiao's naked body without any hesitation and couldn't laugh or cry, "I have a belt myself."

Because the three of them had taken a bath together before, there was nothing to mind.

Mr. Jing took out his clothes and went to the bathroom, but she was not as bold as Chijo and pulled up the shower curtain.

Qianjou greeted him warmly again: "Su Lun, do you want to take a bath together?"

"No. I have to go to the laboratory later."

Su Lun lay on the sofa and stared intently, thinking about the topic of discussion just now.

Although he can be free with Senjou, he still respects his senior sister very much.

Not long after, the sound of water came again.

That was the sound of someone entering the bathtub and the warm water overflowing and falling on the floor.

Soaking in the water, the two women's breathing became pleasant and even.

"Philo, do you have anything light to talk about? How about everyone who went to Linton with you? Is it fun there?"

"Emily Rich applied for a position as an administrator in the Royal Library, responsible for some intelligence integration. Kit became a Phantom Thief, went to Marfa on the 19th, Carter joined the Assassin's Guild, and Sidorella went on an adventure in the South China Sea. Oh. Oh, and I would like to say something special about your subordinate Sabina, Su Lun. Her expertise and ability in intelligence are simply unparalleled. After she joined the intelligence organization founded by my blood descendant, she infiltrated into the Lu family in a short period of time. The British upper class has also found many reliable sources of intelligence. A lot of intelligence about high-level members of the royal family came from her."

"The Beluga Chamber of Commerce is also developing well now. The materials you asked for, Suellen, are what they are raising. The Reyes family who came from Old Town with me before brought a lot of money, and Carnegie's The business methods are good, and now the Chamber of Commerce is also expanding rapidly. And that girl Reina is becoming more and more powerful, and she is becoming more and more beautiful. She has occasionally mentioned you, Su Lun."

"Su Lun, your other disciple Jike also entered the Royal Academy, as well as Danny and Kai"

""

Su Lun listened silently, occasionally adding a word.

They are all old friends from Old Town. It is very gratifying to hear everyone’s experiences.
