Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 459: Dragon language

When Su Lun harvested the memories of Augustus, he learned many secrets of the Rodriguez family, and was shocked by the wealth of the old aristocracy that had been inherited by the Duke for hundreds of years.

This kind of noble family's industry involves all walks of life, has unimaginable ability to attract money, and sits on trillions of wealth.

However, although an ancestor of the Rodriguez family has died, the others are still there. If you want to touch this cake, you have to think long and hard.

Luckily, the old guy didn't put his eggs in the same basket. He assumed the alias "Williams" and rented a secret safe at the Royal Bank.

There were hundreds of banks in the Luying Empire, large and small, but there was only one with a national name.

That is "Luying Royal Savings Bank".

This is the small treasury of the Bona royal family, the safest bank in Luying. No organization has the authority to investigate.

Also because it can open large anonymous accounts, it is also the favorite secret bank of various invisible rich people.

The headquarters of the Royal Bank is located at No. 1 Shenghui Road in the wealthy area on the north bank of the Locovalen River in Ringtown, less than 800 meters away in a straight line from Frederick's Palace, the Royal Palace of Poland.

Su Lun put on a luxurious classic suit, disguised himself, hired a luxurious retro carriage, and went all the way to Luying Royal Bank.

It was a Gothic-style building that looked like a church.

There is an underground vault of unknown size beneath the bank.

Because of Harvest August's detailed memory, Su Lun successfully entered the bank's large customer hall through handwriting identification and password authentication.

After explaining his purpose, the vice president of the bank led him all the way down to the private safe area.

......

"The defense is really tight enough."

Su Lun followed the middle-aged president on the elevator to a depth of tens of meters underground. After sensing the surrounding space, this bank vault has a more complex anti-theft system than the Royal Academy's collection room.

And the neighbor is the Bona Palace, and there are more secret guards patrolling the nearby streets than normal pedestrians. No thieves have ever thought of coming here to steal.

Not long after, the middle-aged vice president led Su Lun to a room full of safes. The defensive restrictions here were so exaggerated that it was jaw-dropping.

The middle-aged man used the bank's key to open the safe with the antique pattern number "1062", then said something and left. Su Lun was left alone at the scene.

When the safe was opened, there was a nine-digit alchemical code lock inside that looked like a roller.

This series of authentication methods makes it theoretically impossible for someone other than the person to take away the contents of the safe.

Su Lun, however, adjusted the code of the alchemy lock according to the harvest code in the harvest memory, and opened it with a "click".

The moment he opened it, he was immediately dazzled by the luminous gems in the safe.

Su Lun looked at the pile of top-quality gems, energy crystals and magic cores. He had not felt the sudden wealth that came from heaven for a long time, and thought to himself: "I have made a lot of money..."

The gems that can be placed in this safe are all of the highest quality.

Flawless gems, elemental source crystals, seventh- and eighth-level Warcraft crystal cores... dozens of them!

There are still two "cursed source crystals" brought out from Su Lun's warehouse, with a unit price of more than 100 million per piece.

These two were brought out from Old Rington and are not sold on the market at all.

And this kind of top-quality energy gem can only be produced once in a mine, and there are more than a dozen "Elemental Source Crystals" of the same grade in the safe.

These top alchemy materials are hard currency in the market, strategic resources, and are in short supply at all times.

There are also those seventh- and eighth-level magic cores, which are essential materials for top-level puppets.

There are eleven or two by visual inspection here.

Just this pile of gems is worth billions of liso!

Su Lun happily put all the gems into the storage space.

The colorful luster in the safe disappeared immediately.

There are two small boxes inside.

Suellen opened one of the openable ones and found a stack of thick paper and parchment inside. I looked through it and found some stock certificates, bonds and bearer certificates of deposit.

"Luying Royal Railway Company", "Xilian Mining Group", "Lington Water Company", "Imperial Tobacco Company"...

Seeing the stock certificates of these large companies that were the lifeblood of Luying's economy, Su Lun felt like he had seen a hen that could only lay golden eggs.

These hugely profitable monopoly industries make money even faster and more stably than being a pirate, and are no different from a money printing machine.

If the empire falls, these monopoly companies will not fall.

These things are probably the escape route Augustus left for Rodriguez.

Even if the family encounters any big problems, with these things, the family can make a comeback.

Su Lun couldn't help but feel that these top families can continue to carry on for so many hundreds of years, which is indeed extraordinary.

Because it was a hidden escape route, all these bond certificates had nothing to do with the Rodriguez family, and Su Lun accepted it unceremoniously.

He thought about giving these securities to Reina when he went out. If he really managed the business well, it would bring a steady stream of huge profits. There are also those business secrets about the Rodriguez family that he stripped away. If they are controlled by people who understand business, they will definitely make him a lot of money.

Su Lun rummaged around again and found that in addition to bonds and other items, there were also some antique items in the box. Some of them bear the noble coat of arms of the Rodriguez family. It seems to be an old token passed down from the family.

Suellen has no interest in these things, but is curious about their age.

Those stone carvings were estimated to be tens of thousands of years old?

The origins of these antiques are so ancient that even the ancestor Augustus doesn’t know when they were passed down.

If I didn’t pick it up somewhere, then the Rodriguez family really has a long history.

Su Lun looked through it, and suddenly, a snake-shaped fragment caught his attention again.

[Fragments of Ouroboros]

Detailed explanation: There are only about a quarter of the extremely precise alchemy fragments; the name of the dwarf master craftsman 'Iswit Hammer' is engraved on it; in addition to the smell of original matter, you see more that you cannot understand. *** information;

"I actually found another piece..."

Su Lun looked slightly different when he saw this thing.

Because he also has one in his hand.

Previously in the sea ruins, he encountered the spirit monster of Francis Drake, the "Pirate Emperor" more than two hundred years ago. That guy once grabbed about one-half of the fragments from the Marfa Empire. The fragments are now in the small void world.

Su Lun tried it, and the fractures of the two fragments were just enough to be inlaid, but the overall gap was about a quarter.

Originally, it was only half, and he wasn’t too concerned about it yet.

After all, if the former Marfa Empire had been complete, it wouldn't have been only half robbed.

Now that another quarter has been found, Su Lun has some hope.

I thought I’d find someone to inquire about it first, and if I had the chance to raise it all, I’d also like to see what this thing is.

Then.

Su Lun set his sights on the last treasure box in the safe.

This is a magic sealed box with some special symbols on it that look like runes but are completely different from the runes of alchemical civilization.

It looks like a treasure chest for storing important items.

The identification shows [an unknown advanced magic pattern language system], which functions as a magic secret lock and requires a specific method to open.

Seeing the box, Su Lun also started to wonder: "What could be inside?"

This box is so old that even Augustus doesn’t know where it came from.

Anyway, it has been passed down from generation to generation in the family and no one can open it.

This box, the [Sigurd's Dragon Slayer Dagger], and the knight training method are all inherited items of the Rodriguez family.

Su Lun studied for a moment but couldn't find a way to open it.

Thinking about it, he decided to go to Mr. Hei, who was knowledgeable and knowledgeable.

......

Su Lun finished raiding August’s secret vault and left the Royal Bank smoothly without encountering any changes.

Not long after, he rode his motorcycle to the Library of Congress in Franklin District.

He walked in with familiarity, and then looked for Mr. Hei who was immersed in working among the piles of ancient books in the book collection area.

Seeing Su Lun coming, Mr. Hei greeted: "Su Lun, you're here just in time. The one in the 'Twenty-Two Secret Tarot Cards' that you asked me to help you decipher [One-eyed Hanged Man] Card], I have deciphered it for you."

Su Lun also had a hint of expectation in his eyes after hearing this. He walked over and sat on a chair beside him without anyone else, and asked, "Oh? What big secret is really hidden in it?"

The tarot card was obtained on the Queen Roderica cruise ship. He couldn't decipher it himself, so he entrusted it to Mr. Black.

I didn’t have high hopes at first.

After all, Su Lun himself is a master of deciphering, and even the Eye of Omniscient has not been able to decipher it, so imagine how difficult it is to decipher.

I didn’t expect Mr. Hei to give me a surprise.

Hearing this, Mr. Hei put down the ancient books he was sorting and responded: "The deciphered content is a treasure map. It records a place called [Fountain of Mimir]. There is also a mythological epic. , roughly speaking of a story about a giant who sacrificed an eye by the spring in an ancient civilization and then obtained some runes. The person who made this card left a treasure map on it , saying that the spring water can be found. Oh, there is also a sacrificial ceremony. But I looked through it carefully and compared it. The sea area on the card is an unknown area that is not marked on any of Lu Ying's charts..."

"This..."

After hearing these plots, Su Lun's pupils shrank slightly.

Extreme eyes on the edge of the spring...

Isn't this the myth and legend he saw in the giant ruins in the Silent Forest before?

The same story is actually recorded in the card?

After a brief word, Mr. Hei saw that Su Lun was very interested, so he took out the tarot card and said, "You can read it yourself."

Su Lun immediately focused his attention on the card.

Because the encryption method had been deciphered, he glanced over and saw a sea map like a holographic projection appearing under the hanging man pattern on the card.

In the center of the chart is a huge "horseshoe-shaped" island.

Then there are the myths and legends of eye sacrifice that Mr. Hei mentioned before, and a mysterious ritual of obtaining spring water.

"It's true."

Seeing this, Su Lun's thoughts started to spin.

He has never seen the mythical story of eye sacrifice in any classics, and Mr. Hei said he had never heard of it.

But the giant ruins and the [Hanged Man Card] both record the same legend, so the matter is worth pondering.

Before, Su Lun didn’t believe that this set of “Twenty-Two Miku Tarot Cards” was really the work of the Five Elders of Dawn. After all, legends are legends, and merchants who sell these antiquities like to add some mysterious backgrounds to their products so that they can sell for higher prices.

But now, he really believes it.

Anything related to mythical civilization is by no means simple.

"The [Fountain of Mimir] really exists?"

Su Lun feels that this may be an opportunity closely related to the origin of his [Eye of Omniscient] talent, so he must go and see it if he can.

But obviously, the conditions are not mature.

The sea map on this card only shows the scene near "Horseshoe Island", which probably indicates that it is in the West Sea.

But trying to find the island in the vast ocean with just this bit of information is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Mr. Hei has a photographic memory. If he says he has never seen it, then it means it is really not on Lu Ying’s chart.

It was like a little hope suddenly came, and then completely lost.

Su Lun pursed his lips, showed a helpless smile, and complained: "The senior who drew this treasure map really deliberately made things difficult for others. How can we find it without a detailed route map?"

Mr. Hei smiled and put forward another idea, "Have you ever thought that it was because the sea area was too dangerous? The person who left the treasure map on the tarot cards wanted to prevent innocent people from dying. , then no specific route was drawn? Even if there is a ship approaching that sea area, this information is enough to determine the position. It is not on the chart now, which means that no one has ever approached it alive."

When Su Lun heard this, his eyes turned and he immediately understood, and suddenly said: "That's right."

The current navigation level of the Luying Empire is not low. Countless adventurers have sailed for thousands of years and have expanded the imperial chart countless times.

But the sea area has not been discovered so far, which means it is either extremely remote or extremely dangerous.

No matter which of the two, they are sea areas currently inaccessible to humans.

Su Lun sighed slightly again, "Another headless treasure map."

Although this card has been deciphered, there is a high probability that it will gather dust in the warehouse.

Exploring unknown waters is not just something you want to do. It may take decades or hundreds of years...

However, the holographic projection-like map on the card also reminded Su Lun of the [Black Sam's World Map] he had obtained before. The production techniques seemed to be the same.

Thirty years ago, the Pirate King went to explore the unknown sea and never came back...

Su Lun felt a slight pain in his **** when he thought of this.

......

There was no need to think about the Tarot cards for the time being. Su Lun remembered the purpose of his trip again and took out the treasure box with a special seal.

He asked: "Mr. Hei, can you help me see what restrictions are on this magic box and can you decipher them?"

As soon as Mr. Hei looked at the box, a cautious look appeared in his eyes.

He pushed up his glasses that were sliding up and down the bridge of his nose, took the magic treasure box and observed it carefully.

Su Lun watched quietly from the side without speaking.

After studying for a while, Mr. Hei finally said: "This is not a rune from the alchemical civilization system. It seems to be a kind of advanced magic text."

Hearing this uncertain tone, Su Lun was slightly surprised and said: "You don't know Mr. Hei either?"

"It's normal that I don't recognize it. The river of civilization is as bright as the sea of ​​stars, and the knowledge we know is only one billionth."

Mr. Hei smiled slightly, as modest as ever.

But the topic changed and he added: "But I have seen similar symbols on some antiques from ancient civilizations before. Because there are so few of them in existence, the alchemy world is not yet sure what they represent. By the way, Where did you get this?"

For this person, Su Lun had nothing to hide and directly told Augustus’s situation.

Mr. Hei seemed to have thought of something when he heard this.

After pondering for a moment, he asked again: "Su Lun, what difference does your omniscient eye see in these symbols?"

Su Lun checked it again and said: "I saw some extraordinary characteristics similar to advanced runic language."

Hearing this, Mr. Hei fell into deep thought. After a while, he said: "That must be it. This is probably the 'Dragon Language Magic'."

Su Lun was also surprised when he heard this, "Dragon language?"

This is an existence where he has harvested so much knowledge but has blind spots.

"Yeah."

Mr. Hei nodded. When talking about this kind of topic, his extensive knowledge was immediately reflected. "In the mythical civilization, together with Demonic Language, Elvish Language, and Divine Language, they were called the 'Four Higher Languages'. Dragon language. This is not a text that mortals can understand, because the characters of the high language family are not just patterns. They are like alchemical runes themselves, containing certain specific laws and extraordinary properties. In layman's terms, the high language family is Like a magic spell, it has magic power in itself."

Su Lun listened thoughtfully, but seemed to understand.

After a pause, Mr. Hei gave another example: "It's like the whispers of gods brought by certain cursed objects. Ordinary humans cannot accept the words that contain extraordinary characteristics, and they will become mentally distorted."

As soon as he heard this, Su Lun understood immediately.

He is very familiar with mental aberration!

Mr. Hei added: "I have previously suspected that these symbols are related to the dragon civilization, because most of the ancient artifacts in which these symbols appear are related to some ancient civilizations where giant dragons existed. But because those artifacts have lost those extraordinary characteristics, The symbols alone have lost their expressive meaning in higher languages, so nothing can be determined. This box is the only magical artifact I have ever seen that is so well preserved, and it comes from the Rodriguez family. It is most likely the 'Dragon Language Magic Treasure Box' ”

After listening to some popular science, Su Lun became more knowledgeable and asked again, "Mr. Hei, can you crack it?"

Mr. Hei spread his hands, showing a helpless expression, and said decisively: "No. This is beyond the scope of my current level of knowledge. I can't even see the extraordinary characteristics contained in these symbols. ”

"..."

Suellen shrugged.

Without the Eye of Omniscient, he himself cannot see.

But it is expected.

After all, the Rodriguez family has been passed down for thousands of years and no one has ever opened it, so this box must not be easy to open.

It is said that it is dragon language magic that humans cannot understand, and everything is explained.

From this point of view, the "descendants of dragon-slaying warriors" that the Rodriguez family has always boasted are really not just to put gold in their faces.

Maybe it’s still true?

Unexpectedly, Mr. Hei added: "But you can ask the teacher. She should know more. After all, the master was once a demigod, and he once saw a giant dragon with his own eyes."

When Su Lun heard this, he suddenly said: "Yes!"

Sir Isaac once saw a giant dragon with his own eyes. As his own daughter, Mr. Mirror may know some dragon language magic?

Su Lun and his senior sister were not as different as Mr. Hei, so he dialed the communicator directly.

This question,

Mr. Jing really knows some dragon language!

......

Su Lun came to the Library of Congress and stopped running around. He just stayed here.

Having just advanced to the sixth level, he has too many professionals of the same level who need someone who can communicate and understand.

Mr. Hei is just right. He has recently advanced to the sixth level, and he is a polymath who can solve various problems.

And when Su Lun mentioned that he had included the Mirror Library of the Royal Library in the Little Void Realm, Mr. Black was not jealous.

The most important reason why Mr. Hei chose to be this administrator is because he can be exposed to countless knowledge here, which not only satisfies his thirst for knowledge, but also helps him advance in his [Erudition] career.

Although the administrator's position is very leisurely, there are still many chores that will delay some time.

Moreover, the Royal Library has a much richer collection of books than public libraries like the Library of Congress, and there are many more high-level alchemy books... It can almost be regarded as a difference between gold and silver.

Mr. Hei immediately stated that after handing over some of the intelligence work of the Mirror Organization, he planned to stay in the Little Void World permanently.

Su Lun also thinks it’s pretty good.

The two of them stayed in the library, reading various books and exchanging advanced experiences.

It wasn't until two days later that Mr. Jing suddenly received a message that she had arrived in Lington by boat.

I didn’t make it in time today, so the leader’s update has been postponed.
