Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 439: Vampire’s Ring

Jike's blasting plan perfectly solved the security restriction problem of the Royal Library, and Su Lun felt that things suddenly became easier.

He contacted Kit using the communicator.

The guy was still thinking hard about how to find loopholes to bypass the security patrol.

After all, it is the ultimate challenge of the thief profession, and he is also very interested in it.

However, several plans have been designed, but none of them are sure to escape unscathed. They are waiting for Su Lun to send more detailed information to see if there is a breakthrough.

Now listening to Su Lun's blasting plan, Kit immediately agreed.

As long as it can be blasted directly into the collection hall, the manuscript will be at your fingertips.

Although there are some other high-level restrictions, for Kit, it is not a big problem. This guy himself is proficient in various lock-picking abilities and forbidden cracking, and his current title as "Lingdun's No. 1 Phantom Thief" is not for nothing.

For the rest, just wait for Jike's finished explosives to be prepared, and then find the right opportunity to take action.

Su Lun doesn’t even need to worry about it later.

Not long after, Su Lun and Sabine left the Royal Academy.

I originally planned to ask Reina to have dinner with her. But Sabina said that she suddenly had a fourth-level enlightenment state, and it was a rare opportunity. She found a safe place to fuse materials and advance.

Su Lun also expressed his support.

After strolling around the Royal Library, he also gained a deeper understanding of the Luying royal family and the established nobles.

Lingdun Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and now there is an undercurrent surging in Lingdun City. Sabina is stronger and has more protection.

In the evening, Su Lun and Reina had dinner together. Then we rode motorcycles together to the Vaughn Brotherhood's territory, went clubbing, and spent the night.

Because Su Lun killed the gang's president and a bunch of core members, the Vaughan Brotherhood almost collapsed. The Rolling Stone Bar and nightclubs that were originally covered by this gang also changed their people. It became the territory of another gang.

After asking for information, I found out that there have been people in the underworld looking for the person who caused trouble that day. But because Su Lun and the others did it cleanly and didn't leave any directional information, there was no threat.

Su Lun always felt that the mysterious "curator" had some other purpose for letting the gang spread the [Scarlet Potion], so he and Rena wandered around various nightclubs.

We went to bars, underground boxing matches, casinos and even a romantic venue.

Reina, a good girl since childhood, has gained a lot of knowledge and opened her eyes to the life of the underworld. But Su Lun didn't find any useful clues. It seemed that those who were selling medicine privately were also hiding.

Even the number of patients with the Red Death seemed to be decreasing.

Obviously, this is to alert the snake.

After visiting several nightclubs and dancing until two o'clock in the middle of the night, Su Lun and Reina returned to the apartment together.

Another night of gentle and sweet dreams.

After two days like this, Su Lun successfully obtained the coveted batch of imported Marfa equipment.

According to Su Lun's request, the gangster king of Rington arranged for the cargo to be loaded onto a ship and transported to the agreed coordinates at sea, and then all the crew members disembarked and left.

Su Lun didn't find any hidden means, and no one came to ambush him, so he teleported over and stuffed all the equipment on the ship into the small void world.

Then the empty ship sailed automatically and headed for the open sea.

With this batch of equipment, the productivity of Sullun's war workshop instantly increased dozens of times.

Now the small void world has become a large mechanical war factory. After the installation and debugging of those new equipment are completed, and combined with the precision instruments on the submarine, the mechanical armor assembly line will be directly formed!

As long as there are enough materials, dozens of soldier-level mechanical armors can be produced every day. Even the elite officer-level armor of level three or above has a production capacity of nearly one piece per day.

It is conceivable that in time, Su Lun's mechanical puppet army will reach the size of a real army.

There is also complete logistical support for supply, repair and maintenance at any time.

And after this period of thinking, the assembly line of Rune Puppet was also completed. There has also been a major breakthrough in the research on the Overlord mechanical octopus jointly improved by Dr. Banks and Marfa's mechanical engineers, and a new batch of mechanical octopuses have also been put into production.

Su Lun's puppet army is quietly growing.

But the problem comes again.

After there was no shortage of equipment, there was a shortage of materials again.

The war workshop was built due to two opportunities, the robbery of the Marfa submarine, and the Full Moon Ball incident. The equipment was almost complete, but Su Lun had almost all the equipment without spending any money. The world's first-class machinery factory.

But the materials are really expensive.

All the control materials that the Thunder Cat Chamber of Commerce had managed to obtain before were put in, but they will probably run out soon.

Also, many components used in high-level officer-level armor are top-notch scarce materials that cannot be bought even if you have money.

Fortunately, there is now another safe channel.

This time the equipment was successfully obtained, and Su Lun secretly lamented that the energy of the "Shadow Lord" was indeed exaggerated. Thinking that it has already been revealed that he has a need for mechanical equipment, next time he goes to the Full Moon Ball, he can just buy a batch of mechanical materials.

……

Su Lun has been living in Reina's apartment and hasn't gone out much.

But he learned about the recent events in Lu Ying through the newspapers he subscribed to.

In the past two days, the "Lington Daily News" and the "Queen's Metropolis Daily" have been fiercely at each other's throats.

The reason is that before the start of the new drug launch conference of "Bakchi Biopharmaceutical Company", a large number of fake [Scarlet Potion] appeared on the market.

This medicine is cheap and has the effect of inhibiting the symptoms of erythremia to a certain extent. But those fake medicines also have some minor side effects, such as vomiting and diarrhea.

So this also caused the health department in Linton to find trouble with Bachchi Biopharmaceutical Company, directly disrupting their new drug release plan.

Su Lun knew that this was a fake medicine thrown out by Ekaterina to disrupt the market, and it was also an emergency plan to deal with the spread of [Scarlet Potion].

But because there was no problem with the original [Scarlet Potion].

Such a move can only delay the release of the potion, but cannot solve the problem.

After a large-scale outbreak of the Red Death, this medicine will be rolled out sooner or later, and even Lu Ying officials will support it.

After all, behind this pharmaceutical company is a large group of British dignitaries headed by the Congressman Rodriguez family. Those nobles are still waiting for this special medicine to treat the Red Death to make huge profits, and they will never let anyone cut off their financial resources.

Even if a few other big congressmen object, it won’t work!

Su Lun looked at the situation in the newspaper and could not think of a better way to break the situation.

Unless the root cause is found and those believers of God are uprooted, no one can do anything about this.

But apart from the "Queen Roderica Cruise Incident" which was accidentally crashed, the Outer God has made almost no big noise.

Intuition tells Su Lun that the calmer the sea, the more dangerous undercurrents lurk.

Those believers of alien gods are also infiltrating and developing in Linton because of the "Freedom of Belief Act." When the conspiracy of the alien **** is completed, I am afraid that the problem will be a disaster for the entire alchemical plane.

But there is a believer lurking in the Bona royal family who is secretly controlling it, and policies cannot prevent the development of believers in God.

No one can do anything.

Rights have become the key to the current dilemma.

For the next few days, Su Lun stayed in Reina's apartment and would only go out to nightclubs at night to look for clues.

He didn't go out until five days later.

Su Lun is going to the Puppet Masters Guild, because the finals of the "National Puppet Masters Competition" will be held there today.

Kama and Yabok both happened to be participating.

Su Lun, a teacher, also plans to go to the scene to see the performance of the two disciples.

The Puppet Masters Guild was originally a very niche occupation in Luying, but due to Su Lun’s previous battle in the Moros city-state, a wave of puppet masters was set off. Puppet master has now become one of the most popular career choices among professional apprentices.

That's why this national competition was created.

Even for this puppet master competition, the organizers even gave out very generous prizes.

There is nothing else in Lingdun, but there are many ancient relics.

Su Lun saw the flyer for the competition in the newspaper, and among the prizes there were even a few puppet professional items that even he coveted.

The bad news is that the contestants are targeting entry-level puppet masters below level three.

Otherwise, Su Lun would be shameless enough to participate.

The good news is that among the puppet masters below the third level, the strength of the two Kama siblings is probably among the top.

Not long after, Su Lun arrived at No. 19 Gunpowder Street in Franklin District on a motorcycle. That red brick building that looks like a church is the Puppet Masters General Guild.

A large logo hangs at the gate of the building. The pattern on it is a hand holding silk thread with five fingers.

When Su Lun came, it was like watching a concert, with huge crowds of people.

You can see professionals everywhere here wearing cloaks, carrying a crow on their shoulders, and holding all kinds of weird scythes.

They don't look like puppet masters, but more like Death actors at a masquerade party.

The strength is not strong, but the equipment is good.

Su Lun couldn't help laughing when he looked at these guys who were imitating him.

However, there were some serious puppet masters with their own puppets in the crowd.

It’s natural to show off your skills when you come here. There are many “people” in the crowd who are not alive at all.

Su Lun just saw a scarecrow puppet in the crowd, exuding dark energy fluctuations. This is a puppet from the curse school; there is also a puppet with several brass clockworks, from the classical mechanical style; again, there is a pull Carrying a zombie deer, it looks like a beast puppet; Carrying a few big knives on its back, it looks like a weapon

Su Lun didn’t look down on his colleagues at all.

There are many branches of puppet master profession. Lu Ying has several puppet masters, and their level is still very high. This profession is not strong at the beginning, but can usually surpass third-level puppet masters, and its combat power is not weak at the same level.

This Puppet Master Competition brings together puppet masters from all over the empire to join in the fun. It is also a rare exchange event for puppet masters.

Because there were so many people watching the finals, a temporary Alchemy City gradually appeared on the street outside the venue.

Puppet masters from all over the world sell some professional tools for puppet masters, such as silk threads, wood, colonial clothing, and employment materials. Of course, the most popular ones are crows and cloaks.

There are also many puppets that usually eat dust in the store's warehouse, or are unsold, tied up, and placed on the store's shelves again.

Since Su Lun got the infield tickets in advance, he was not in a hurry to go in.

He wandered through the city.

The best selling items at the stall are the finished puppets.

There is no shortage of rich people in Lu Ying. Many of the people who came to watch the game this time were wearing the uniforms of the Royal Academy. Those little nobles forced the prices of various commodities to be several times too high.

Su Lun looked at the selling prices of those low-level puppets and said it was outrageous.

Fortunately, he has no need for a puppet master of his current level and finished puppets.

After all, he is already a top master in this field, and it is difficult for anyone to be better than himself in puppet making skills.

Even if there are, most of them are ancient relics and will not be sold in the market.

Walking around, I gained a little.

Su Lun bought several volumes of puppet classics from other schools, and accidentally picked up an ancient secret volume on puppets.

For only a few thousand liso, I bought a fragment of the secret technique of controlling air and controlling silk [Controlling Thread·Air Flow Needle Rain] worth at least several hundred thousand.

Items such as knowledge have digestion thresholds, which are useless for beginners and they cannot be understood even after buying them.

What's more, the little nobles have never lacked knowledge. There are all kinds of classics in the Royal Academy that they can't finish in a lifetime, so they don't care about the things on the stalls.

This is the difference between nobles and civilian professionals.

While civilian professionals are still complacent about missing a little resource, aristocratic professionals have already been immersed in the resources accumulated by their families for thousands of years for many years.

Not long after, Su Lun entered the competition field in the union as it was about to start.

This is a small circular theater that could originally accommodate a thousand people. Because thousands of people were packed into the game, it seemed a bit crowded. The sound of crows cawing mingled with the noise of people.

A rough estimate is that there are at least a hundred crows in the competition field!

Su Lun’s ticket was in the last row of the infield. It was not very eye-catching, but it afforded a perfect view of the entire playing field.

Before the game even started, he heard people behind him discussing the game intensely.

"Oh, the prizes in this competition are really rich. The Alchemy Guild really spent a lot of money to make a name for itself. The first place is actually a rare fifth-level [Iron Sand Puppet]. Wow, this thing is offensive and defensive. If you really get it, not only can you beat the fifth-level professionals, but at least the third- and fourth-level professionals can save your lives. I’m so envious."

"I have also heard of this puppet. It has always been a collection of the Puppet Guild, and I didn't expect it to be willing to take it out as a prize. Not only the first place, but the second place is a very rare gold-quality silk cloth; The top ten prizes for the three versions of the four-color element core structure diagram are all rare treasures!"

"Last time I heard that the puppet treasure [Heart of Four-Colored Elements] appeared in the Roman Kingdom. The trade union even sent an adventure group to look for it, but they didn't get it. I don't know whose hands it fell into."

"It is said that it fell into the hands of the "God of Death". He had an indestructible gargoyle puppet in his hand, which was very powerful. I estimate it is the most powerful puppet in the world, even stronger than Grandmaster Aubrey's set of [Seven Dwarfs] elemental puppets. ”

"The "God of Death" is recognized for its strength. With one enemy against 200,000 people, no one dares to say that we can do it even if every one of us Lu Ying is playing puppet."

"Indeed. The battle in the Moros city-state really showed the majesty of our puppet professionals with our strength."

""

As Su Lun listened, he heard various versions of boasting about himself, and felt a little dumbfounded.

The old men of the puppet union in the front row all looked unnatural.

The strongest puppet heritage is in the Lingdun Puppet Masters Guild, but now there is a foreign puppet master who has suppressed everyone's reputation. These masters also had a somewhat regretful look on their faces.

Most of the people watching the battle were young people, and they all continued talking without any hesitation.

"Who do you think can get the first place this time?"

"Of course it is Elsa Bach, a close disciple of Grand Master Aubrey. The young lady from the Marquis family awakened [-019-Twin-Hearted Person], which is an excellent puppet master talent. Regardless of inheritance, The quality of the puppets is top-notch, and there is no opponent within the same level. What's more, there is a record of her defeating third-level professionals before."

"I don't think so. Haven't you heard that descendants of the Boyle Agency's puppet line have come to the imperial capital? In the previous incident on the Queen Roderica cruise ship, I heard that there were two puppet masters who were very powerful. They seemed to be also It’s in the top ten.”

"That's right. Just listen to the achievements of the noble lady. She is very involved in life and death fights. I heard that the two Naboyles were killed by pirates and their whole family was drifting at sea. They are true combatants."

"What **** Boyle, do you dare to underestimate our Royal Academy's number one puppet master? You are so naive! Just watch, if there is a real fight, you will know where the gap between nobles and commoners is"

""

Su Lun listened to the analysis of those people and was thinking about who could take first place.

He thinks Yabok has the best chance of winning.

Even though he is only a first-level professional, the talent of the second level [Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart] really requires fighting with all his strength, and even a few Kamas are not enough.

It is completely enough to deal with a group of puppet masters of the highest level two.

The big guys always show up at the end.

Su Lun looked at his pocket watch. The game time was ten o'clock, and it was still one minute away.

At this moment, the venue suddenly became quiet, and an old man with a white beard led a few people in.

Su Lun has read the information and found out that this old man with a white beard is Aubrey Hernandez, the president of the Puppet Masters Guild. He is also one of the world's recognized masters of kung fu puppets and the inheritor of the elemental puppet lineage.

And he was accompanied by two young men, one of whom Su Lun knew, the young master of the Roberts family who was almost killed on the cruise ship, Alex Roberts.

There is another one, but it is a handsome young man with a face as fair as a vampire.

Don't think about it, they are probably young masters from top noble families.

Otherwise, the president of the Puppet Masters Guild will not personally accompany him.

Su Lun didn't care about the nobles at first, but when he saw the ring on the young man's hand, his pupils shrank suddenly: "That ring is actually in this person's hand?!"

[Lilith’s Vampire Ring]

Quality: Legend

Description: Put on the ring and you are a high-level vampire;

Curse characteristics: You can use this ring to absorb the target's blood essence and recover your own injuries and physical strength with high efficiency; long-term use of this ring can extend your life and keep you young forever; use this cursed object to absorb the target's blood essence, and you will also inhale it. Alien spiritual power can lead to mental chaos; pure virgin blood of equivalent energy needs to be sacrificed, which can weaken some of the curse backlash used. The purer the purer, the better the weakening effect;

Detailed explanation: This is a dark cursed object made by a great demon hunter in the Dawn Era using the finger bones of the ancestor of vampires. It possesses part of the blood-sucking ability of the ancestor of vampires, making it almost immortal; it can be used as a professional advancement material, and can be fused with Afterwards, the strength of the physical body is greatly increased, and related abilities such as "blood-devouring" are obtained, and the physical body is enhanced by sucking the flesh and blood of the target. If the fusion conditions are met, the fallen angel bloodline suppresses the abyssal bloodline of the ring, and the probability of distortion is less than 16%;

"Is this guy from the Rodriguez family?"

When Su Lun was on the ship before, he asked Mr. Jing, the blood descendant who had lived for seven hundred years, whether Lingdun had career advancement materials suitable for him.

The old vampire mentioned this ring.

Su Lun only knew that the ring was in the possession of the Rodriguez family.

He thought it would be an old guy, but he didn't expect that it was a young man wearing it?

Su Lun looked at his pupils and shrank slightly, and thought to himself: "It is really a powerful cursed object. With it, you almost have the immortal body of a vampire"

After reading the identified information, Su Lun was sure that this cursed object was exactly what he needed. It greatly enhanced the physical body and had the ability to "devour blood"!

The most important thing is that you fully meet the fusion conditions!

Su Lun's transformed fallen angel bloodline is at a higher level than the abyss vampires, which directly leads to him having a higher probability of success.

Although the 16% distortion probability is still not low, if you get another distortion tolerance potion from Dr. Banks, you can definitely suppress it to less than 8%!

Seeing this, Su Lun immediately became interested.

"But why is his soul so strange? Is it because of the ring?"

Su Lun sensed again that this white-faced young man should be very strong.

But the soul fluctuation is very strange, even colder than a real vampire.

Su Lun immediately became suspicious, and his thoughts began to change.

After these people came in, they sat directly in the front row.

Su Lun also heard someone around him recognize the identities of several people.

"Hey, what are the backgrounds of those two noble young masters, and they are actually accompanied by President Aubrey?"

"You didn't know this. Those two are the eldest sons of top aristocratic families. The one in white is named Alex Roberts."

"Is the surname Roberts one of the six congressmen?"

"What if?"

"Wow, no wonder. Where is the other one?"

"The other one is even more remarkable. He is August, the second young master of the family of the great congressman Duke Rodriguez, the second interpretation of [b-010-Big Eater]. He graduated from the Royal Academy three years ago By that time, he was already in the sixth level of profession. He is truly a peerless genius! He is known as one of the 'Top Ten Most Powerful Geniuses' of the Royal Academy in the past century."

"Oh, I also remembered what you said. The Royal Academy three years ago was really full of geniuses. The young William of the Raigadi family was also one of the 'Top Ten Geniuses'. I heard that he had just graduated. She has advanced to the sixth level. There is also Miss Ekaterina of the Lance family, who is said to be very strong as well."

"Oh, I get angry when you talk about Miss Ekaterina! Damn it, how could such a beautiful angel get married? Oh, my God, if I really want to get married, I feel like Reggae The eldest son of the family, William, is barely worthy of her. But she actually wants to marry a second son of Lei Jiadi. I heard that he is a good-for-nothing, the son of his lover."

"You don't understand the mystery. The royal family does not allow such a marriage between the first heirs of the two major families. All parties will never allow such a strong alliance. Only marrying the second son, in the end, It’s better to be a waste so that it won’t be hindered”

""

Su Lun listened carefully to the popular science of the crowd behind him.

I heard the name of the man wearing the vampire ring is August Rodriguez, and the various auras of this young man

Unexpectedly, before I had time to think about it, while chatting, I actually ate my own melon again.

"The 'trash' of the Raigadi family?"

Su Lun's eyes twitched as he listened.

That trash seems to be talking about myself?

As he listened to those people's popular science, the purple-haired Ekaterina suddenly flashed through his mind, and then he thought of Katyusha.

It's a complicated feeling.

But those people probably guessed wrong. Yekaterina chose "Fike" not just because he was the second son of the Raigadi family.

More importantly, he is Su Lun!

Thinking that it was just a transaction anyway, Su Lun didn't pay attention to these gossips.

He thought of something else and pondered in his mind: "Tsk, tsk, young genius? I'm afraid it's not a young man, but an old immortal wearing the skin of a young man."

There are many geniuses in the world, but they are not easy to find.

At least the young Master Augustus in front of him has a big problem.

Su Lun thought of something, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought to himself: "The fluctuation of his soul should be due to the long-term use of the vampire ring, which is why he is so mixed and cold. Solidify his appearance and stay youthful forever for this old guy What are you going to do?"
