Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 421: The gangster from Rington

Aberke choked away the fat student, and Kama also ignored the young man Alex, who was considered the top rich and handsome man in Lu Ying. A group of small nobles looked down upon Su Lun and the three country bumpkins even more. .

But the three of them didn't care at all. They found a sofa in the corner and sat down.

Kama held the business card in his hand that showed no interest at all, and was about to find a trash can and throw it away.

But at this time, Su Lun thought of something and said, "Wait, don't throw away the business card yet."

Kama looked over and asked, "What's the matter, teacher?"

Su Lun stretched out his hand and said, "Give me your business card."

Although Karma didn't know what his teacher was going to do, he handed it over.

Su Lun thought for a while, took out a pen and wrote a line on the card.

Kama tilted his head and looked aside, but he didn't understand what the line of greeting sentence wanted to express.

She asked directly: "Teacher, what did you write? Why didn't I understand it?"

Su Lun did not answer directly, but smiled, as if he wanted to test the cryptography level of the two disciples.

Albock saw something on the side and said: "Sister, this is the Herodotus encryption method. It is usually used by mystical professionals and requires a specific order to decode."

As he spoke, he counted the words with his fingers, as if calculating some special order, and then said: "The teacher probably wanted to remind that guy. Since he is a Tarot Warlock, such a level of code master It can be deciphered in a while. It can also prevent people from prying into it."

Kama pouted as he listened, with a frustrated expression on his face, and then suddenly realized: "Ah, it's cryptography."

Cryptozoology is a basic subject in the field of alchemy, but it is also one of the most difficult subjects.

That requires a huge amount of knowledge, keen observation skills and logical thinking ability.

Everyone can learn cryptography.

But becoming a qualified cryptographer requires talent.

As it happens, Karma is not good at this.

After Su Lun finished writing, he handed over the business card and said: "Kama, please hand this business card back to Alex."

"Ah, teacher, shall I go?"

Kama did not forget that the young man came to chat with him just now, and he was almost pierced by the jealous looks of those noble ladies.

Even after muttering, she was still so obedient as to say: "Oh, I got it."

Although she didn't understand what was written above, she also knew that it was best for her to go alone.

If you have a motive, you will not be suspected.

Maybe I will be regarded by those aristocratic ladies and young men as an ugly duckling who loves vanity and wants to cling to the powerful?

Kama pursed his lips and thought reluctantly.

Taking a deep breath, she mustered up the courage to walk towards the group of young students from Luying Royal Academy

Su Lun sat on the sofa and looked at the people coming and going in the banquet hall.

He sent a message to that young master Alex, not because he wanted to make friends with any powerful people.

Thanks to the fact that there is still such a strong "Duke of Wushan" who opposes theocracy, Lu Ying has not completely become a paradise for foreign gods to spread their faith. If something happened to his son, the forces controlled by foreign gods in the upper echelons of Lu Ying would become stronger and stronger.

"Dawn" will not turn the ancient empire of Luying into a theocratic state.

So, within your ability, just lend a helping hand.

Su Lun, a little teacher, had deceived Karma, and he also guessed that after she gave the business card again, she would definitely become the focus of everyone's attention. He didn't intend to be the center of attention together.

It just so happens that Kit’s plan is about to begin,

He left his seat,

Stay in Albock and finish the Rubik's Cube on the sofa,

I wandered around the banquet hall again

On the other hand, in the small circle of Luying Royal Academy, a group of students were also laughing and joking about what happened just now.

If they can become a small circle, there is a high probability that their parents are also political allies.

Most of these people are the children of theocratic opposition members.

"Hahaha our Young Master Alex has his moments of failure. The key is, is the other party still a common girl?"

"That girl doesn't look like an ordinary commoner. She should be a descendant of a down-and-out noble who lost her noble title. Tsk tsk, she does have some scheming intentions. Won't she be remembered by us all at once?"

"No, you must have misunderstood. That girl is very special. Tarot divination told me that she will bring me good luck."

"Alex, it's not that I don't believe in your tarot divination. But how can a girl who doesn't know that you come from that remote territory reject you? Maybe she has recognized your identity and dressed up deliberately. I bet you that once you come back to Linton for the banquet, she will be eager to come see you!"

"Hey, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until I get back to London. Look, isn't this delivered to your door?"

""

A group of aristocratic young masters and ladies looked at Kama walking in the distance, their mouths were full of teasing, and their eyes were full of all kinds of jokes.

In Luying, aristocrats and commoners are people from two different worlds, and the class concept is engraved in their bones.

No matter how beautiful the ugly duckling is, it is just a plaything of the nobles.

Even if you can marry into a wealthy family, without the exchange of benefits from the matrilineal family, you are just a flower vase, and no one will take it seriously.

The male students were laughing and watching the fun, but the girls' eyes were full of vicious jealousy.

Kama walked up to the group of young people, holding back his bone-shattering contemptuous gaze.

Although Alex was confused as to why she came now, he still greeted her very gentlemanly and asked: "Miss Kama, do you have a problem with me?"

Kama wanted to get rid of the hot potato in his hand as soon as possible. He endured the discomfort and handed over the business card directly, "Here's this for you."

Then he turned around and left.

But in the eyes of others, this is very artificial and "shy".

Alex was slightly startled, a little confused by her reaction. He took the business card and looked at it as the one he handed out. It’s just that there is one more sentence above.

He frowned as he looked at it. Did he guess wrong?

Is this really a vain commoner girl?

As the others looked on, they all gave ambiguous smiles.

In the eyes of others, the content written on the business card is most likely dating information, and it is not easy to read.

After just one glance, no one took him seriously.

After Alex read that passage carefully, it seemed like a greeting excerpted from some kind of literary book.

Ordinary.

He looked at the back of Kama as he hurriedly left again, feeling that something was wrong.

You can’t go wrong with Tarot.

Then he read the passage again and again.

It wasn't until the third time that he looked sharply and realized that the arrangement of this sentence seemed to be some kind of encryption method.

"Hey"

Alex sighed in his heart.

After quietly deciphering the encrypted content above, I discovered that there was a secret message hidden in that sentence: "There are a large number of believers of alien gods on the ship. Be careful of the people around you, including Professor Virginia."

Although the secret language was only a simple sentence, his heart felt like being struck by lightning, and he understood something instantly!

My father is the biggest opponent of the "Proposal on Freedom of Belief in Gods". Now that believers of alien gods have joined the cruise ship, it is hard not to be suspicious!

Could it be that there are believers of foreign gods who want to assassinate me?

Abel immediately became alert and alerted his secret guard.

Although he did not rule out that the person who wrote this had bad intentions, his intuition told him that the girl just now was definitely not an enemy, otherwise there would be no need for her to remind herself.

Alex put the business card away calmly and continued chatting with his friends.

His peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the figure who had gone to the corner, and he even felt a little disappointed: It turned out that he was just delivering a letter

"Oh, it's so embarrassing."

Kama felt that his face was on fire at this moment, scalding hot.

Those disdainful looks are really irritating

It just can’t be explained!

She quickly walked to the sofa in the corner, saw her brother playing with the Rubik's Cube, and asked, "Aberke, where is the teacher?"

Aberke raised his head and looked in another direction, "Here~ over there. He's chatting with the lady in the black skirt."

Looking at this, Karma’s eyes became even more resentful, “Teacher is really hateful, he asked me to do such an embarrassing thing when he went to strike up a conversation.”

Aberke was very indifferent: "Sister, only if you deliver the letter will you not be suspected."

Kama rolled his eyes at his brother: "I know! But I'm still so angry! What a shame!"

Aberke said calmly: "The teacher said, sister, you have to be thick-skinned, so that you will suffer less in the future. Besides, I don't feel any shame. What they want to think is their business, sister. I just went to deliver the letter."

As he said that, he corrected: "Also, the teacher didn't go to strike up a conversation. He was struck up by the lady. And if I read correctly, it should be the woman who was secretly observing us before."

Kama: ""

Su Lun was wandering around in the banquet hall, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by the mysterious woman in front of him.

She was wearing a black lace dress, with a graceful figure and a good temperament. She looked like a pampered aristocratic lady.

Of course, if she is not a professional.

The energy fluctuations of professionals can be hidden using some special means, such as the [Energy Fluctuation Jammer] used by the Marfa Army.

But the soul fluctuation cannot be hidden.

The mysterious woman with **** and perky **** in front of me is at least a fourth-level professional.

Furthermore, Su Lun also discovered that this woman had observed them many times since just now.

A high-level professional took the initiative to get close to him. It was obviously not because he was handsome, but must have some other purpose.

Suellen even suspected that she was also a member of the Giant Priory.

But this woman had no allergic reaction to his "perfume".

This made Su Lun confused about her purpose for a while.

The two began to test each other while chatting.

"Sir, are you an expert on ancient cultural relics? I just heard you explaining the exhibits to your disciples in great detail. Sorry, I didn't mean to listen, I just happened to be right next to you."

“I’m not an expert, just a little bit of research.”

"What do you call sir?"

"You can call me Nicholas. Where are you, madam?"

"Mr. Nicholas, why do you think I am a 'ma'am'?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I just think that ordinary girls don't have as much charm and charm as you"

"Sir, you have such a sweet mouth."

""

Although Su Lun thinks that he is a serious person, he will not be polite to this scheming woman who always sticks to him, probably because she wants to test the strength of her muscles.

If you dare to post it, I will do it.

Su Lun's big hands naturally caressed the woman's tender waist, and naturally tested her gluteus maximus muscles.

The muscles are very flexible and he is obviously a melee professional.

But the strange thing is that this woman's body seems to be weak and boneless, with an unusual softness.

Su Lun guessed that it might be some kind of talent.

I have to say, it feels good.

I have always heard that Lu Ying’s imperial capital had very open views on gender and was known as a romantic city. This is probably what he meant. Gentlemen and ladies will be happy to have fun and release their passion when they meet someone of the opposite **** who they like. No one will feel any burden.

The woman in front of me clearly has the boldness and calmness of a woman in the imperial capital

While Su Lun was chatting with the woman, the charity auction dinner also started.

The lights in the banquet hall dimmed, and a few beams of light shone on the stage.

After the auctioneer came on stage, he briefly introduced that all the money from this batch of auction items would be donated to the Charity Children's Fund, and then the auction process began.

In the darkness, Suellen and the woman named Caroline were still talking.

"Sir, your perfume smells very special~"

"Oh?"

"I own a perfume business, but I have never smelled such a special perfume."

""

Su Lun also knew that this woman probably saw some clues.

He didn’t intend to write more ink, and both parties knew it well, “I think Madam, you can be more sincere.”

A trace of ambiguity appeared in Caroline's feminine crystal eyes. Her body was almost half glued to Su Lun's body, and she asked: "Sir, what do you think is sincerity?"

The auction has already begun, and Su Lun still has business to do. It’s not like he has never seen a beautiful woman before, but he doesn’t want to waste time on this woman: “For example, let’s talk about the mysterious collector behind this collection. It’s a matter of fact.”

When Caroline heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly and did not deny it: "How did you tell?"

Su Lun didn't want to explain more. He just guessed it from some details. He tried it out and didn't expect it to be true: "If you are willing to talk, we will continue to chat. If you are not willing, then I'm sorry."

He was convinced that the other party took the initiative to strike up a conversation. In addition to testing, there must be something to ask for.

Hearing this, Caroline looked at Su Lun.

After pondering for a moment, she seemed to have made a decision, and said directly without further ado: "This batch of goods came out of my channel. But now, I find that things are beyond my control. Because there are some People with evil intentions are on board."

"Oh?"

Su Lun's expression didn't change as he listened, as if he was listening to what was going on.

However, he was quite surprised. The person who arranged this batch of goods was not someone from the Giant Monastery?

Caroline continued: "To tell you the truth, I don't know who this collection belongs to. It came from a mysterious channel. But I arranged to get on the ship. Because I discovered something wrong before, So I followed it myself."

Speaking of this, there was a solemn look in her eyes, and she added: "Coincidentally, just now, my subordinates discovered that the remote communication device on the ship had malfunctioned. It was not a mechanical failure, but a human fault. External signals have been completely blocked. This means that we can no longer contact the outside world."

""

When Su Lun heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he still did not express his position.

He has long known that there are people from the Giant Monastery on this ship, so it is not surprising to hear that someone is about to take action now.

He didn't fully believe what this woman said either.

Caroline narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly when she saw that Su Lun didn't express his position.

At least she felt that her judgment was correct. There was a strong professional in front of her, and she said: "Just now you asked that little girl to deliver the letter. You probably know the identity of the young master and want to remind him. What?"

Su Lun felt a little surprised now. Such a hidden purpose was seen?

He asked curiously: "How did you know you were going to deliver a letter?"

Caroline said: "Because I am also a woman. That little girl doesn't see Master Alex at all. And I know the inside story of this exhibition and the [Hanged Man Card]. So I sent the letter It’s not difficult to guess the content. This is also the most important reason why I came to you. Although I don’t know which force you belong to, you must not be part of that group of guys with evil intentions."

""

After hearing this, Su Lun felt a little interesting.

He also confirmed that this person was not an enemy.

At least not from the giant monastery.

At the same time, he also secretly sighed that this Linton City was really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. How could a random woman be so powerful?

But it doesn’t matter whether you guess it or not. In the face of absolute strength, the role of scheming is minimal.

At least so far, Su Lun has not found anyone threatening him on this ship

The auction is still going on, and lots are being sold one by one, which seems to announce the countdown to some kind of conspiracy.

Caroline knew that she had no time to delay and said directly: "I mean, there is such a big shot on this ship. If anything happens, I will be the one who shipped the goods, and I will get into a lot of trouble." . And the manpower I have on the ship may not be enough to cope with such an incident. Therefore, I hope that you, sir, can help within your ability. Of course, no matter what, I will be grateful if I go to Linton in the future. If nothing else, I still have some energy in Linton."

This tone may not sound like much to others, but Su Lun roughly guessed the identity of this woman as soon as she heard the slang.

Su Lun glanced at her and asked calmly: "Who is your Excellency?"

Caroline did not intend to conceal her identity anymore and handed over a gold business card with a black rose printed on it.

If nothing else, this card is worth a lot of money.

It also has the name 'Caroline Worster' printed on it, as well as the name of a well-known gangster in Rington.

Su Lun took a look and now understood everything.

Killing someone with a borrowed knife kills three birds with one stone.

The gangsters in Old Town are a deformed and special product of the times, and it cannot be sustained by just a bunch of gangsters. Behind them are powerful conglomerates.

Through Caroline's channel, the people from the Giant Monastery put the antiques with the "Hanged Man" on the ship, attracting the young master Alex.

If something really happened, once the investigation is carried out, Caroline and the forces behind her will definitely be implicated.

The Roberts family occupies one of the five "grand councilor" seats and is extremely powerful. There will definitely be great turmoil at that time, and it is even possible that Lu Ying's political situation will change drastically.

No wonder they called for temporary reinforcements. It seemed that Caroline also realized that the seriousness of the matter was far beyond her expectation.

After all, outsiders can tell that Alex must be surrounded by high-level professional bodyguards and a sixth-level leading professor.

If the enemy dares to take action, he must have stronger combat power.

At this time, Caroline's tone was already very serious: "I know that you are very powerful. Since those people dare to take action, they must not be weak. Once they take action, everyone on this ship may be implicated. Help me , but also to help yourself."

Military Intelligence, God’s Believers, Royal Academy, and now a mysterious woman who is a gangster appears.

This is already the fourth wave of powerful forces.

Lington is truly worthy of being an imperial capital. There are so many big fish hidden on just a cruise ship.

Su Lunxin sighed with emotion.

He didn't even wonder who the power behind this woman was, and there was a high probability that she was hiding something.

But it doesn't matter.

The enemy of my enemy is half a friend.

Help is definitely needed.

If you can.

However, Su Lun didn't want to express his attitude to a strange woman whom he had only known for half an hour.

I just kept listening and said nothing.

Seeing that the man in front of her did not respond, Caroline's expression showed a hint of solemnity.

But she also felt a little incredible.

Even after listening to what he said, this man's face showed no panic from beginning to end, but was extremely calm?

This kind of confidence is absolutely extraordinary.

Caroline can gain a foothold in the underground black market in Linton, so she naturally has her own way of identifying people.

She was already convinced that she was a very strong professional in front of her.

Now that she has no choice, she took a slight breath and made another big promise, saying: "If you are willing to go all out, just try to protect the young master from death. Afterwards, I will satisfy you in whatever way I can." The conditions I can provide. Even if I can’t do it, the big boss behind me will definitely be able to do it.”

The weight of these words is not light, and there is an extraordinary sense of confidence.

Su Lun listened and finally said: "Okay."

I didn’t want to express my opinion, but she promised too much.

After hearing this, Caroline's expression suddenly relaxed, as if she finally had some confidence.

Su Lun asked again: "Can you tell me what other information you have? For example, what do you think the origins of those people with evil intentions are?"

Caroline looked serious and responded: "Most likely he is a fanatical believer of a new religion recently. I have been investigating these days"

Her information is similar to Su Lun's.

But some are more detailed. For example, the bishop's real identity is actually a barrister.

After chatting for a while, Su Lun suddenly wondered how this woman found him from so many people in the banquet hall, so he asked directly: "How did you notice me?"

Caroline smiled slightly: "Because you are a very charming gentleman."

She said directly: "I originally thought you were 'Kit the Phantom Thief'. After all, you are very strong and handsome. I just came here to test you just now because I wanted to cooperate with you. But obviously, I guessed wrong."

After listening to this, Su Lun realized that he was being targeted because he was too handsome?

He asked curiously: "How can you tell that I am not the same again?"

Caroline smiled charmingly, "Sir, you are one of the few true gentlemen I have ever met. A romantic gentleman like Phantom Thief Kit cannot be compared with you."

Su Lun smiled: "Haha"

The auction is still going on, and the group of wealthy people in the banquet hall are still enthusiastically taking pictures of the antiques, completely unaware that a crisis has quietly arrived.

Su Lun was not in a hurry and told Kit about the current situation, then returned to sit on the sofa.

At this moment, the tarot card was finally taken out of the safe.

It is contained in a crystal box with a pattern of a one-eyed hanging giant drawn on the card.

Su Lun's left eye flashed and he immediately identified it.

[A mysterious tarot card]

Detailed explanation: [The Hanged Man Card], one of the 'Twenty-Two Secret Tarot Cards' in the Age of Dawn; this card has super mysterious properties and can be used in various advanced divination techniques; holding this card The card can obtain a certain degree of exemption from divination spells; integrating a set of twenty-two cards will have a super set effect bonus; the card contains some encrypted content that cannot be deciphered for the time being; there are some mysterious methods on the card Forbidden parasitic larvae;

“It’s really authentic.”

Su Lun immediately became interested after seeing the identified information.

But in fact, the value of this card is different.

For a tarot sorcerer, it is indeed a fatal attraction.

Even though it has been circulated for countless years, it still has super mysterious properties and is an excellent divination prop.

But after all, it has been circulating for so many years and may have passed through the hands of many people. The information may have been cracked long ago, and there is a high probability that it is an empty card.

But after all, it was definitely authentic. Su Lun thought that the "hidden secret" might be related to the Eye of Omniscience. It was difficult to judge its value without seeing the deciphered content.

As for the identified "parasite", it must be the method used by the believers of the outer gods to deceive Young Master Alex.

If there is no accident, this card will definitely fall into the hands of that young man.

But there are bound to be surprises.

Because at this time, Kit also sent a message that he was going to take action.
