Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 470: 【Crown】

Nancheng District, Port Cactello.

Old John dragged his tired body out of the dock warehouse.

He looked at the pool of scarlet blood on his chest with great annoyance, and cursed himself: "You are so **** unlucky, why did you fall!"

Obviously I could easily carry two bags of goods before, but just now I was carrying one bag and my legs got weak and I fell.

Then he vomited a mouthful of blood, which happened to be seen by the foreman again.

Although he tried his best to defend himself, Old John still lost his job as a porter, which he regarded as his life.

Pinching his trouser pocket, there was a pile of old banknotes of different denominations.

Eight hundred and seventy-six liso, this is his salary for this little half month.

He had just started working and he didn't know where to go since he had no work to do.

If I go back now, my family will definitely be more worried.

The whole family is counting on his job to make ends meet, and they are really going to lose it, but what should they do?

Old John sat on the roadside with despair in his eyes, smoking cigarettes one after another, as if he had aged ten years suddenly.

He is fifty-three years old. A few years ago, he managed to save money to marry a widow who was a tailor, and he has two half-grown children.

Although life is a bit tough, there is still some hope.

I thought that as my two children grew older, I would be able to get a stable job by relying on my decades of working in the dock.

But now, all hope is gone.

"It's all my fault for this **** weird disease"

Old John sighed.

His eyes were empty and lifeless, looking at the dock in the distance where he had been busy all his life, smoking cigarettes one after another.

At this moment, a salute sounded like "bang", "bang", and "bang" from the Beicheng side.

Old John's pupils were now slightly focused.

I heard from the workers that today is the wedding of a princess and a prince.

Oh, it seems like the bedtime stories my mother told me when I was a kid.

Old John looked at the flowers blooming in the sky and thought of his mother who had been dead for many years.

At this moment, there was no light in his eyes.

How hopeless it is to have no future.

Who can save this sinking world

In a trance, he seemed to see a **** coming

The golden carriage started all the way from Frederick's Palace to the Zosimos Alchemy Temple two blocks away.

This is a Baroque classical building, a solemn holy place for alchemists.

When the two got off the car, salutes were fired. This is the venue for the ceremony, and relatives and friends have been waiting here for a long time.

Su Lun felt a little uncomfortable when he saw thousands of strangers on the lawn looking over at them.

Ekaterina always had a smile on her face. She held Su Lun's arm and walked over with a pure and confident smile.

At this moment, the outside of the Alchemy Temple was surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers, with all kinds of festive flowers vying for beauty.

And just as Su Lun and the two walked across the lawn, the lawn seemed to be cast by magic, and more flowers bloomed under the scorching sun. With every step they took, more flowers bloomed at their feet.

Red, pink, golden, purple

In addition to those precious flowers that symbolize wealth and happiness, there are also small white chrysanthemums in the field of vision.

It should be a small wild flower on the hillside, but it is everywhere in the green grass.

They open brightly, facing the scorching sun.

With the embellishment of these elegant wild chrysanthemums, the rich color layering in the eyes immediately becomes richer, colorful and gorgeous.

The breeze blows, and a faint floral fragrance enters the nose.

It is so beautiful that it feels like stepping into a wedding hall in poems and fairy tales.

Su Lun's eyes also lit up and he couldn't help but admire: "It's beautifully arranged."

Hearing the praise, Ekaterina next to her showed a bright smile and said intimately: "Because I designed it myself."

She smiled with her eyebrows arched, and said happily: "This is a wedding that only happens once in a lifetime. Of course I hope it will be the most beautiful thing in my life."

Su Lun smiled slightly as he listened.

In front of outsiders, this is really an innocent princess.

He also adjusted his suit and walked over with his head held high

Not long ago, in the Alchemy Temple of Zosimos.

"Groom, are you willing"

"I do."

"Bride, are you willing"

"I do."

"You may kiss your bride."

""

The process of the ceremony is very simple.

Probably because the Lu Ying nobles had no concept of loyalty, and there was no lifelong commitment in the wedding speech, so they simply asked a few questions.

Under the alchemical relief of "Ouroboros and Scales", Fick and Catherine completed the wedding ceremony on behalf of the two families.

Throwing the bouquet, Anna grabbed it.

The wedding ceremony is completed, and the next step is the banquet.

After the two newcomers finished the program, it seemed that nothing happened to them.

The highlight of a luxurious wedding banquet is actually the procedures for the elders of the family to discuss various cooperation matters.

After all, in the eyes of almost everyone, it was just a marriage between the second son of the Raigadi family and the fourth daughter of the Lance family. This couple, who had no inheritance rights, was not worthy of attention.

The ceremony was completed, Su Lun seemed to have completed half of the task, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The elders of both families left the scene, and Su Lun and Yekaterina began to greet their friends and take photos.

"Fike" used to be a concubine prince in Leijiadi. He was a little transparent who had not even awakened his talent. He had never even come to Lingdun to go to school. Su Lun didn't even know anyone and had no friends to greet.

Looking at Ekaterina, she has too many friends.

Family relatives and friends, classmates at the Royal Academy, friends of the aristocratic class, people who are clinging to relationships

The most numerous ones are all kinds of suitors.

When Su Lun was kissing the bride during the ceremony, he felt at least dozens of jealous eyes poking at him repeatedly like sharp spears.

If looks could kill, he would probably be riddled with holes right now.

Su Lun also found it quite interesting to see those handsome young nobles looking in despair.

The former "most beautiful woman in the Royal Academy" is getting married. I am the groom?

Probably because they got to know each other a lot after getting to know each other again at the manor. While one group of people finished taking photos and another group of people came over, Su Lun joked: "Miss Yekaterina, you have so many suitors. If I hadn't just shown up today, I would have received them every day." An invitation to a duel."

Ekaterina smiled and said, "Yes."

She hugged Su Lun's arm very intimately, as if whispering, and asked in a naughty and teasing tone: "Will Mr. Su Lun duel for me?"

In front of outsiders, there is no hint of depth on her face.

Su Lun raised his eyebrows, smiled, and said decisively: "No."

Ekaterina didn't sound angry, and pretended to be depressed for a moment, "Oh, what a sad answer."

A flash of thought flashed through her crystal eyes, and she asked again: "What if it's Katyusha?"

Su Lun shrugged and said: "Katyusha doesn't have that many suitors looking for someone to fight with."

The topic suddenly became interesting.

Ekaterina blinked and said: "Ah, you mean Katyusha is not beautiful enough?"

Su Lun corrected: "On the contrary."

Ekaterina didn’t know what she was thinking of when she heard this, and smiled without saying a word.

I’m just praising myself anyway.

This pleasant chat did not last long. Not long after, Su Lun saw an old man in a tuxedo walking over, "Master Fick, the master and his wife asked me to inform you to go there."

When Su Lun heard this, he couldn't escape.

Others don't know that he is the "God of Death", but the members of the Raigadi family know it.

Although he didn't know why those guys wanted to see him, it was nothing more than something related to interests.

Su Lun is not interested, but what are a group of conspirators talking about? There is no guarantee that those guys are going to make some trouble. Out of sight is out of mind.

But desecrating the crown?

How about going to see if it really has the legendary effect?

In an instant, many thoughts came to his mind.

On the side, Ekaterina looked at Su Lun with a strange expression, turned her eyes, and said lightly: "I will go with you."

Marriage is an agreement between two people, and she is obliged to do something.

Su Lun raised his eyebrows and said, "That's fine."

The banquet hall is full of nobles in costumes chatting in groups of twos and threes.

The marriage between two families is actually a carnival for a group of winners.

Su Lun and Ekaterina walked over. Even without getting closer, he could hear various talking topics.

The most talked about thing, apart from today’s wedding, is the [Scarlet Potion].

"Baron Potter, what are you so happy about?"

"Haha, just now, I exchanged the mine shares of Baiyun Mountain from Count Gunter for a share of [Scarlet Potion]! Oh, this is definitely the wisest decision in my life!"

"Ah, the high-quality iron ore in your Potter family's Baiyun Mine has been producing stably for hundreds of years. Are you willing to exchange for some shares in the pharmacy?"

"You don't know that buying a share of the potion now is a sure-profit deal! In a few days [Scarlet Potion] will be put on the market in large quantities, and I will make hundreds of millions immediately! And let me tell you something Top-secret information, I asked about it from the Imperial Academy of Sciences. Virus experts unanimously admit that no other specific medicine will be developed for the Red Death at least in the next few years, or even decades. In other words, [Scarlet Potion] will have a lot of potential in the future. The annual meeting will continue to make profits and create at least trillions of wealth."

"Oh my god! I've heard about the Red Death too. It's said that millions of civilians in Nancheng were infected. Oh, there are more than 28 million civilians in Linton! And the entire empire, That’s billions! Oh, I can’t imagine how much more money this potion will make”

"Damn, I already like the 'Red Death'. It should come more violently, and it's better to make those civilians infected."

"Haha, it is definitely indispensable! And I can guarantee that the Ministry of Health will never interfere, because Minister Landers also has a large share of pharmaceuticals"

"It's a pity that [Scarlet Potion] can only be produced by Bachchi Biopharmaceutical Company. And as far as I know, Congressman Lance and Congressman Raphael are very tight on the product. It seems that it will not be possible in a short time. There is no intention to sell it. No one is selling it if anyone asks. It is estimated that they will not ship until the current market price doubles again."

"What some senior congressmen did in this matter is not very kind. They previously publicized in newspapers that there was something wrong with this potion and told others not to touch it, and we responded positively. Now it's better, Rodriguez. The family lost most of its controlling stake in Bachchi Company, and Congressman Lance became the majority shareholder."

""

Su Lun felt sad and funny at the same time.

A group of greedy guys are still thinking about making profits, but they don't think that disaster is about to happen.

Looking at Ekaterina next to her again, she also had a helpless smile on her face.

Being criticized for being "unkind", I have been blamed for this, and I still can't explain it.

The Lance family did make a lot of efforts to prevent [Scarlet Potion] from being put into the market on a large scale.

It is another case of releasing fake medicines to disrupt the market, and it is also an attack by public opinion.

But it didn’t take long to discover that there was nothing that could be done to stop it. On the contrary, because of the huge benefits, it attracted more speculators and spread the potion through various channels.

Later, the Lance family personally took action, and together with several other senior members, they directly monopolized most of the medicines, and deliberately raised the price of medicines so high that the sick civilians could not afford them.

Also let those who have potions in their hands continue to wait and see.

This caused the number of pharmaceuticals flowing into the market to plummet.

The spread of momentum is blocked.

To people who don't know the inside story, this method seems a bit "underhanded".

It's completely like a vicious competition method, first releasing bad news to slander competitors, and then buying the bottom yourself.

The problem is that so far, no one has found anything wrong with [Scarlet Potion]!

This is also the basis for this capital carnival.

Ekaterina initially believed this information because of her trust in Su Lun and her judgment of the future situation.

Others don’t know that much.

Even the bad blood between the "Hermitage of Giants" and the Bona royal family is just a tacit political game played by the top nobles.

The little nobles have no right to know.

After walking a few steps, I heard many people talking about potions.

At this time, Yekaterina also said: "The price of medicine is already very high. In a few days, a group of medicine merchants with stockpiles will join forces to ship the goods. The quantity will not be small."

This sentence will not be small, which means that many people will die.

"Oh."

Su Lun frowned slightly as he listened.

In addition to raising prices, it seems that there is no better way to think of.

The Queen did not speak, and no one in the huge Luying Empire could stop the spread of the medicine

Su Lun and Ekaterina walked along and came to a small hall.

When they arrived, there was already a group of old-fashioned looking guys sitting here.

The arrangement of these guys makes it easy to distinguish their status. In the middle was a dignified-looking middle-aged man. With his iconic inverted mustache, Su Lun immediately recognized this guy as Kelsen Raigadi, the "Eleventh King of Raigadi."

The woman in the red dress who still retains her charm next to him is Mrs. Portia.

There are also several old men with white beards, all of whom appear to be elders of the Raigadi family.

In the intelligence collected by Sabina before, there were almost all photos of these people, and Su Lun recognized them all.

However, he had no interest in greeting these people. Instead, he glanced at Young Master William in the corner, whose eyes were filled with jealousy.

This guy didn't even attend the ceremony before, probably because he didn't want to see his beloved girl marry someone else.

Su Lunke was not interested in gaining this guy's jealousy. His eyes looked at the black halo crown on William's head.

This is a three-pointed black light crown. Its material is not any metal, but a black light that exudes a strong mysterious atmosphere.

【Desecration of the Crown】

Description: Do mortals want to dominate everything? This is blasphemy.

Curse Characteristics: Wearing the crown can obtain a passive 'dominance halo', which increases the target's favorability within the range, and the words can frighten, convince, and instigate the target, which has a very strong psychological suggestion; after wearing it, you can gain 'control' and can be blessed. With the power of alchemy, you can actively release spells that are beyond the current understanding of laws; gain the passive ability of 'insight', and increase your affinity for all laws. It will be easier for you to understand the laws and fields, and to understand the secrets behind the appearance of the world; cognition is heavy Yes, wisdom will inevitably be damaged. Using the crown to bless knowledge that should not belong to you will continue to reduce your life span and cause mental distortion;

Detailed explanation: A magic crown condensed with the power of multiple laws, a symbol of supreme imperial power; King Raigadi I discovered this unfinished crown in an ancient dwarf ruins, and he forged it into a sacred artifact for his family's bloodline inheritance. ; Wear it and you are the king who dominates everything. It can be used as an advanced material for professionals. For fusion, you need to understand the 'Overlord's domineering' or 'Dominator's domineering'. The four elements of earth, wind, water and fire must be understood with an S rating, and over sixteen laws must be understood with an A+ rating. After fusion, the field of blessing will be comprehended. King Power], [Domination] ability;

Su Lun looked over and immediately averted his eyes.

Because I already knew some information before, it was not too surprising to see this black light crown.

He also murmured in his heart: "It really has the effect of blessing the field of perception. Lei Jiadi, a down-and-out royal family, really has some good things."

The identification is similar to what I heard from Yekaterina before.

The crown, the intimidating halo, etc. are all expected.

When I went to the palace before, Queen Charlotte's crown had a similar effect and was suitable for PUA subjects.

The most important thing is that the legendary effect of assisting in the field of perception is true!

Although it is not clear how strong the effect is, generally the effects of life-consuming cursed objects are not bad.

And there's something else.

For example, this crown can be used as an advanced material.

"Tsk, tsk, the fusion conditions are really harsh."

Su Lun took a look and saw that the two hard conditions for rare domineering power directly blocked most people.

As well as the evaluation of A+ or above for the sixteen kinds of law understanding, it can be said that almost no one can satisfy it.

Even the top professionals specialize in their respective fields, and few are greedy for more.

Su Lun looked at himself and saw that he was not as good as the boss. Even though I have been harvesting fragments of understanding of various elements, water and fire are rated S, earth and wind are rated A+, and the other six elements cannot be combined to achieve sixteen A+ understandings.

If you really want to get it, it will take a long time to digest it.

Huh

Why do I want to get the problem anymore?

This crown is still worn on the head of the first heir.

Oh, I just discovered that after not seeing each other for a few days, this Young Master William has become stronger again?

Su Lun sensed something and guessed that this guy probably turned his grief and anger into strength, and even if it cost him his life, he would advance to the seventh level.

Then

Obviously he is determined to kill!

Su Lun had some thoughts in his mind.
