Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 418: Go to Luying

“It’s very troublesome!”

Senjou complained with disgust in his eyes.

But because it was Su Lun’s, I didn’t feel particularly uncomfortable.

After all, we can't give this hateful guy a good look, otherwise he will definitely take advantage of it.

Qianjou stood up from the bathtub naked with a straight face, then stood under the shower and turned on the water to rinse his body.

Su Lun admired it with interest, listened to the complaints and then responded, "Ah, sorry, sorry~"

Although he said sorry, his face showed a happy expression that didn't deserve a beating. He doesn't usually have this kind of opportunity. The "special acquiescence" just now made him play so comfortably for the first time.

The most important thing is,

Senjou also took the initiative to help just now.

This made Su Lun feel really good.

"Humph!"

Qian Tiao glanced at his hateful smile and snorted angrily.

She turned away without letting this guy look any further.

Su Lun had an indifferent expression on her face. The figure of the gambling-addicted young woman was very attractive, both from the front and the back. The crystal water droplets slid down from the back, and then slid down the gradually rising breasts. It was a very pleasing sight.

But after a moment, he also smiled and narrowed his eyes.

It is a rare act of intimacy for Qianjo to help him do this.

That's it.

Qianjo felt that the eyes wandering on his body suddenly converged, and he felt inexplicably relieved.

She looked down at her hands, as if she thought of something, a helpless curve emerged from the corner of her mouth, and she sipped lightly.

It didn't look like he was smiling, but he didn't seem to be angry at all.

Su Lun felt as if he had solved the "sequelae" of Pandora's charm, and felt refreshed.

After Qianjiao rinsed his body and put on his clothes, Su Lun didn’t soak much.

After rinsing, he got dressed and did not rush back to the laboratory. Instead, he took out an alchemy book and sat on the sofa to read it.

Although no one spoke in the room,

But both of them enjoyed this alone time.

But as he watched, there was a knock on the door.

Qianjou was taking care of her precious swords. She heard Mr. Jing’s footsteps and shouted out the door: "Filo, you didn’t lock the door. Just come in when you come back. .Why are you knocking on the door?"

As soon as these words came out, there was the sound of the door handle twisting.

Looking again, Mr. Jing, wearing a black satin slim dress, walked in. She looked at the two people in the room and casually responded to Qiantiao's words just now, "I'm knocking on the door to avoid disturbing your relationship."

Su Lun saw Mr. Jing coming in and also greeted: "Sister."

Mr. Mirror smiled and nodded.

Qianjou rolled his eyes at her, "Why bother."

As an extremely familiar friend, she had no idea what Mr. Jing was joking about, and even smiled maliciously: "Filo, if you come back early, you can still be of some help."

As soon as these words came out, Su Lun on the sofa suddenly twitched his eyelids and quickly covered his eyes with a book, thinking that this young gambling-addicted woman really could say anything.

Fortunately, Mr. Jing is used to it and smiles without saying a word.

She closed the door and walked towards Su Lun. She elegantly collected her skirt and sat down on the sofa with her legs crossed.

Su Lun put down the alchemy book in his hand and asked, "Senior sister, do you have any information about yesterday's battle?"

This is probably the only time she will come.

"Yes."

Mr. Jing nodded and said: "The news of our battle in the Moros city-state yesterday has spread, and this morning Lu Ying's side made the headlines of the newspaper's special issue. Basically, it is no different from what was planned. But there are two. Slightly special news."

"Oh?"

Su Lun also became interested after hearing this.

They were witnesses to yesterday's battle. No matter how detailed it was in the newspapers, it was impossible for them to know it clearly. But if your senior sister can say it's special, then it must be special.

Mr. Jing said directly: "The newspaper said that the 13th Marfa Princess "Frost Moon Princess" Skadi Harris was killed. ”

Su Lun frowned suddenly when he heard this: "That Princess Marfa is dead?"

Even Qian Jiao put away the knife he was wiping with a click and looked over.

Mr. Jing nodded: "Yes. The specific cause of death was not written in the newspaper. But it is 80% true. News has come from Marfa, saying that Emperor Marfa is furious and will definitely investigate to the end."

"."

Hearing this, Su Lun fell into deep thought.

Only then did he think of why those mechanical warriors suddenly retreated during the pursuit.

It turns out that Stika was assassinated.

He was not too surprised.

I just think this will have a big impact.

After all, it was a princess of a country who died.

Su Lun knew very well that the Dawn Regiment did not kill Princess Stika in yesterday's battle.

But she died.

This is very subtle.

There are only a few people who dare to kill the princess and are capable of doing so.

While Catherine was in the city, she summoned a meteor to destroy the Agaparthenon.

No need to think too much, Su Lun directly expressed his guess and said calmly: "It should be the Lance family."

"Yeah. I think so too."

Mr. Jing also nodded, his expression as calm as Su Lun's.

In the eyes of outsiders, the death of Princess Nastica must be the work of the Dawn Regiment. It seems that the Dawn Regiment has "taken the blame" for the Lance family.

But in fact, both of them knew that it made no difference whether Princess Mafa died or not.

If Princess Stika is not dead, will the North Sea Fleet and Marfa not want them?

Obviously impossible.

The essence of wanted is not conflict, but interest.

The "Secret Realm of the Void" was destroyed, and the foundation of the alliance between Mafa and Beihai no longer existed.

The purpose of the wanted manhunt is to get the treasures and keys of the Void Secret Realm in the hands of the Dawn Group, as well as the neuro-mechanical technology.

This is the most important reason.

As for the death of a princess, it is at best an excuse to take action.

A princess who married a pirate has lost the most important function of marriage. Especially after coming to Beihai, not only did he not have any achievements, but he frequently caused huge losses to the empire. This kind of "trash", even if she returns to the Marfa Empire, will have little value to the people in power.

It would be better to use some residual heat.

It can be expected that in the near future, the Marfa Empire will definitely put pressure on Lu Ying because of the death of the royal princess. Those politicians will find any excuse to send a large number of people to fish in Luying's troubled waters.

Qianjou became interested after hearing the news.

She hung several knives on the knife holder, walked over, and sat down on the sofa with her sword spread across her body.

Right between Su Lun and Mr. Mirror.

She spoke more directly, jokingly: "Hey, Su Lun, that noble lady friend you know is really quite capable and scheming."

Suellen shrugged noncommittally.

Katyusha is his friend.

This Ekaterina is very strange.

But it cannot be denied that she secretly provided a lot of help in the previous battle.

Whether it was destroying the temple or taking action by Van Gogh, clear snipers greatly weakened the threat of the North Sea Fleet.

Even the assassination of Princess Stika created conditions for Suellen and the others to evacuate safely. This is also one of the most important factors for all Dawn members to be able to evacuate without any damage.

Cooperation means dealing with each other, not one-way request.

So it doesn’t matter whether you take the blame or not.

Obviously, the first piece of information just now had no impact on the Dawn Group at all, and none of the three of them took it seriously.

At this time, Mr. Jing also smiled slightly and said: "The second news is also related to this Miss Ekaterina."

"???"

Su Lun looked over and felt that her words meant something, as if she was speaking specifically to her.

Mr. Jing said: "Today's newspaper also published an important news on the front page. The Grand Duke of Reims in the north and the Regard family in the south reached a marriage agreement. Three months later, in Turin, Emperor Lu Ying, There will be a blessing wedding presided over by Queen Luying herself."

Su Lun already knew the news.

Because this is what he personally promised.

I just didn’t expect that this kind of thing would actually be published in newspapers and made known to the whole world?

As soon as she heard this, the fire of gossip in Qian Tiao's eyes burned brightly. She hooked Su Lun's shoulders and pulled her into her arms, "Hey, listen to Barrett, Lan The little princess of Duke Si's family is a great beauty, known as 'the most beautiful woman in the Royal Academy'."

After a pause, she smiled evilly and said: "What does that noble lady look like? Is she as good-looking as Philo?"

Su Lun felt that his head was filled with tenderness.

Obviously, Senjou did not bind her chest. She had just taken a shower and there was no one else in the room, so she was dressed casually. So much so that the spacious neckline was in full bloom under such a big move.

I didn’t plan to look at it, but when I glanced out of the corner of my eye, the delicate and deep white flowers came into view.

Su Lun responded: "It's indeed not bad. But I think it's far worse than Senior Sister Ye. It's not as good-looking as Sister Qianjou."

Qianjou was very satisfied with this answer, "Tsk, tsk. Your popularity is really good."

As he spoke, he almost leaned his entire body against Su Lun as usual, in a very intimate posture.

It was nothing at first, Su Lun was used to it, but for some reason, he suddenly felt restless and immediately felt something bad: "Again?"

This familiar feeling of his body being out of control, he didn't understand that it was because Pandora's charm spell hadn't been resolved yet.

Qianjou caught a hint of strange color in his expression.

She looked at Su Lun's embarrassment and said with disgust: "Ah, isn't it ugly?"

No matter how thick-skinned Su Lun is at this moment, he still feels embarrassed.

It’s just enough to be alone with Senjo, now I have my senior sister beside me.

I was just thinking about explaining it.

But Mr. Wu Jing seemed to know something, and he was not surprised at all.

She glanced at it and said with a warm smile: "Pandora's charm?"

When Su Lun heard her words, the awkward atmosphere disappeared instantly and asked: "Senior sister, do you know?"

Mr. Jing said: "Yes. Pandora came to say goodbye to me when she left. She asked me to tell you that the effect of this charm will last for about three days, and it will occur from time to time during this period."

Pandora is the alchemy work of Isaac and his wife, and can be regarded as half a daughter, and Mr. Mirror is Isaac’s biological daughter. Although they seemed to have little communication before, their relationship was beyond the reach of outsiders.

Three days?

It turns out it hasn’t been resolved yet.

Su Lun was speechless for a while and asked expectantly: "Senior sister, is there any way to unlock this technique?"

Mr. Jing showed a helpless expression and spread his hands, "This is a Shinto secret technique. If you want to solve it, Pandora has to take action personally. There is nothing I can do."

Su Lun felt that this was very bad news.

Fortunately, Su Lun rarely appeared outside when he was fine. Except for Mr. Jing and Qian Jiao, no one else saw his embarrassment.

Three days flew by.

Su Lun has been staying in the experiment.

After all, he is really busy.

The previous battle in the city-state of Moros was indeed majestic.

Su Lun also tried the ultimate combat power of his current puppet technique for the first time, causing tens of thousands of enemy casualties.

But similarly, the battle damage was also very serious.

Almost thousands of rune puppets and mechanical armors were damaged to varying degrees, and the ammunition reserves were exhausted.

The mechanical armor also has the war workshop in the small void world to help repair it, but Su Lun has to make and repair the rune puppets one by one.

The most urgent problem now is to make high-level puppets to make up for the lost combat power.

That battle also made him aware of various deficiencies in his puppetry technique.

In the previous battle, his puppet army was very effective against low-level pirates, almost all of which harvested areas with low battle damage.

It can compete with fifth- and sixth-level high-level professionals, and they will almost be harvested in turn.

Thinking about having a thousand fourth- and fifth-level high-level puppets, Su Lun felt that he could possibly kill even the seventh-level professionals!

The production process of high-end puppets is very complicated, and it takes a lot of time to make a puppet by hand.

Even with an eight-armed spider spear, it would take several days to complete a fourth-level puppet.

So Su Lun has been thinking about a new idea with the engineers in the war workshop recently to see if part of the rune puppet production process can be replaced by machinery.

For example, some basic material screening, engraving, polishing, and coating.

Theoretically speaking, machines can make complex mechanical armors, and it is also possible to make ordinary rune puppets.

If a standardized assembly line can be created by then, the output of Rune Puppet will increase explosively.

Achieving mass production is the foundation of legion combat.

But now the problem arises again. Making high-level puppets requires a lot of alchemy materials.

Su Lun now has a lot of miscellaneous things in his hands, but some special materials controlled by the Luying military are extremely scarce.

As a result, the production speed of rune puppets and mechanical armors is not very fast.

So the engineers in the War Workshop these days have been focusing on research and experiments, making the "Puppet Assembly Line", various tests of the "Titan Mechanical Octopus", modifying the armor drawings to be suitable for puppet control, etc. Waiting for these research projects.

The only ones that are actually put into mass production are various alchemical ammunition.

In that battle, Su Lun deeply realized the concept of "firepower is truth".

As long as there is enough ammunition, top professionals will stay away.

The materials for making alchemy bombs are relatively abundant, so we need to concentrate on making a bunch of them first.

Even if you can't use it yourself, you can make at least two or three times the profit by selling this "hard currency" in the adventurer market.

Moreover, the war workshop is placed in the small void world, and the conditions are much better than in the submarine before.

Su Lun also plans to expand productivity. Then you need to purchase some mechanical factory equipment, such as some large smelting boilers, high-precision lathes, and research instruments.

But unfortunately, those things are still controlled.

Fortunately, Su Lun is not a person, but the "Dawn Organization".

Through advance communication, the Beluga Chamber of Commerce has raised a lot of materials and found some black market channels to purchase machinery and equipment from military factories.

You have to go to Luying to get everything.

The Yongye has been sailing southward to Luying these days.

Before the "Puppet Assembly Line" was completed and the materials arrived, Su Lun faced another problem.

That is the number of puppets controlled.

The limit of the number of puppets he can control with multi-tasking is almost a thousand. It will be very slow to increase this number.

Mainly limited by mental power.

There is no accurate distinction between mental levels, but Su Lun now clearly feels that he has reached a bottleneck, probably the realm of "Puppet Grand Master".

After entering this stage, it is very difficult to achieve a qualitative improvement in mental strength.

Relying on the [Death Reaper] talent, he quickly reached his current level. But it is very difficult to move up a level and reach the level of "spiritual embodiment" and "void wandering" like Pandora. It’s even harder than when he started from scratch.

Unless he becomes a murderer, like the previous battle where he killed tens of thousands of people at a time, he may have hope if he fights again several times.

But it's only possible.

Su Lun has never considered this idea.

In the field of alchemy, all energy is balanced.

Killing for the sake of killing will be rejected by certain plane laws such as "the will of the world".

In layman's terms, it means "bad luck" and "retribution".

This is not some metaphysics.

But Sir Isaac, who has mastered the talent of [Destiny], personally gave Mr. Mirror’s warning.

Su Lun is not in a hurry.

After all, this is a huge threshold. It is estimated that the number of people in this plane whose mental power exceeds that threshold will not exceed the number of hands.

He has only advanced to the fifth level, and there is still a long way to go.

There is plenty of time.

What's more, Su Lun has an advantage over ordinary people.

That is the [Eclipse Sun] totem.

Su Lun had been mentally deformed before, and listening to whispers brought him a lot of negative mental power growth.

These negative mental powers have been absorbed by the [Eclipse Sun] totem drawn by Yuta with divine power.

He thought it was a burden before, but now he is looking forward to having the totem fully absorbed to help him break through his spiritual realm.

And not only mental strength, but also the upper limit of "multitasking" ability also needs to be improved.

At least to achieve Su Lun's ultimate goal, which is to have one person control tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of puppets, stronger control is needed.

Thanks to the magical alchemy, some alchemy equipment and advanced materials have similar abilities.

As long as you look hard for it, you may not be unable to encounter it in the future.

The Evernight sailed on the sea for nearly a month.

During the voyage, we encountered many waves of ships, including merchant ships, pirate ships, and reconnaissance ships from unknown forces.

Fortunately, when seeing a Poseidon-class battleship like the Evernight, most ships automatically avoided it.

The few ships that wanted to be followed by hanging ships, and those that came with bad intentions and wanted to intercept them, were directly caught up and sunk by Su Lun and others.

The Dawn Regiment has the world's top ships, a top powerhouse like Mr. Mirror, and the best navigator. Naturally, there are no accidents.

Su Lun stayed in the cabin during the nearly month-long voyage.

This period of busyness has almost completed some of the things needed for the battle.

Emperor Lu Ying was a holy land for alchemy, where all kinds of strange people gathered, including numerous high-level professionals.

Su Lun is going to get the copy of "Isaac's Alchemy Manuscript" from the Royal Academy, and also has to go to Catherine's appointment. This trip will definitely cause some commotion, so it is natural to make some preparations in advance.

On this day, there was a desert island near the western coastline of Luying.

Su Lun and his two disciples, Kama and Yabok, were leisurely roasting coconut crabs on the beach.

They have been waiting here for half a day.

Half a day ago, Su Lun and Mr. Jing separated.

The rest of the Dawn Group will first go to Senodia Province. This is the territory that Mr. Mirror's descendants have managed for hundreds of years, and it is also the foundation of the Dawn Organization.

A large organization has to deal with many diplomatic issues, such as wanted, alliances, recruitment, cooperation, etc.

After the Moros city-state became famous in the last battle "Dawn", a large number of people will definitely come here.

There are also many difficult questions.

Mr. Mirror has to deal with those things.

Su Lun had to go to Luying to get materials first and to attend an appointment, so he planned to take a passing cruise ship to Linton.

The weather today is sunny and sunny, with a gentle sea breeze.

On the white beach, the waves roar.

Su Lun sat under the shade of a tree and looked through the alchemy secret book that he had previously harvested from the Void Secret Realm.

The coconut crab on the bonfire was already full of meat, and the three masters and apprentices simply settled down for lunch.

At this moment, Yabok, who was waiting on the top of the coconut tree, discovered something and excitedly said to Su Lun on the ground: "Teacher, the ship is here! What is written on the hull is 'Queen Roderica'" !"

After hearing this, Su Lun stood up, jumped up a tree, and saw clearly a steam-powered steel giant ship slowly approaching from the end of his field of vision.

A glint flashed across his eyes.

This is the boat waiting for.

This luxury cruise ship has circled most of Luying and will arrive at the imperial capital of Linton in half a month.

It happens to be Su Lun's destination.

Taking a ride on a smooth sailing boat is one of them.

What's more important is the news from Mr. Hei that there is top-secret information indicating that there is an important leader of the "Giant Hermitage" on board!
