Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 519: Library Ghost
After soaking in the hot spring and washing away the dust, Su Lun took Mr. Jing back to the Warcraft Forest.
After all, my senior sister is better at negotiating, not to mention she is also the leader of Liming.
She met with the dwarf king Beor and discussed the pros and cons and the future of civilization in detail. Anyway, the mountain dwarves agreed to restart the alliance without much hesitation.
However, the dwarves only agreed to alliance with Dawn and did not trust other humans.
Fortunately, Su Lun's small void realm has recently been exaggerated to be wide enough, so they were temporarily placed in it.
Except for the lack of vein mining, everything else is pretty good.
This group of dwarves who don't like war just fight in the small void world and still live the same isolated life as before.
Of course, I will also help Su Lun forge a gargoyle.
As for the treasures accumulated by the dwarves for countless years, they have all been temporarily stored in Su Lun's small void world.
Various ores, treasures, forging tools, magic equipment, and even a forge the size of a mountain.
It can’t be said that they all belong to Su Lun, but if you really need to use them, you can still borrow them.
He also thought it was pretty good, and the small void world was also becoming lively.
The dwarves moved too many things, and it took them two days to pack them.
Qianjo went to the seaside and gathered the people of the Dawn Group to prepare sufficient supplies for an adventure on Dragon Island; Mr. Mirror returned to the plane passage in Zambra Iron Falls Province.
On the third day, Su Lun teleported back to Kabitron, the capital of the Marfa Empire.
Su Lun originally planned to ask Dora about the alchemy manuscript, buy some large mechanical workshops, and recruit some mechanics.
But after I went there and asked, I found out that Miss Meupiao was also on the front line of the battlefield and would have to wait two days before she could come back.
Su Lun doesn't have any other acquaintances in Marfa. It would be much less troublesome to buy large equipment or recruit mechanics by yourself rather than wait for an acquaintance to introduce him.
And not just strangers, regardless of the identity of "Death" or "Fick", they are important wanted criminals in the Marfa royal family.
It’s never a good idea to be too showy.
He followed No. 19 to various material markets, purchasing some scarce materials.
Cabitron is the capital of machinery. There are countless kinds of materials. Almost every urban area has a large machinery market. The market size is a hundred or a thousand times that of Lu Ying. As long as you can afford the price, almost all materials can be purchased.
After waiting for a few days, Miss Dora finally sent word that she was about to return to the imperial capital.
On this day, Su Lun and No. 19 were hanging out at the Marfa Royal Mechanical Academy.
I agreed to meet the meat lady here.
The two were walking on the campus, and the place was also bustling.
Because of the plane war, all the students on campus are excited. Before, there were some Marfa peaceful mechanics who were unwilling to fight Lu Ying, but now that the plane has invaded, almost all of them have been mobilized. Recruitment signs and parades mobilizing alumni to fight on the front lines can be seen everywhere.
Different from the students in Luying Royal Academy who are either rich or noble, the mechanics here cannot tell whether they are rich or poor, but they all have a light on mechanical alchemy in their eyes.
The campus has a long boulevard lined with giant steel sculptures.
Lu Ying's sculptures all commemorate a certain "great" noble lord.
The sculptures on the Marfa campus must all be top mechanics in a certain field.
Under the sculpture are engraved the lives and important patent inventions of those mechanics.
Su Lun walked on this road and was quite emotional when he saw it.
No wonder Marfa Machinery has been so powerful despite only a hundred years of development. In comparison, the previous Lu Ying was really rotten. I don’t know what the future will be like under Catherine’s drastic reforms.
As the two of them walked, No. 19 also introduced some information about the Mechanical College.
She has been staying here for the past few years
Thinking of something, she asked casually: "Su Lun, do you have a disciple at the Royal Mechanical Academy?"
Su Lun nodded: "Yes. Jike is a genius blaster. He didn't have the conditions to learn and grow in Luying, so he sent Mafa."
He had no intention of disturbing this disciple's study, nor did he intend to let anyone know that Jike was his disciple.
Unexpectedly, when No. 19 heard this, his expression was slightly different: "Jike James? That talented freshman in the ammunition department?"
Su Lun was slightly surprised when he heard this, "Have you heard of it?"
"Of course."
No. 19 seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was somewhat emotional, and he said: "As long as there is a genius mechanic in the academy, he will be treated like a star. When I was studying ammunition science, I heard people talk about the academy. Here comes a very powerful new student, who has come up with many amazing explosives in just a few months. Of course, his most famous one is that he created a special explosive that destroyed the college's explosion-proof laboratory. It was blown up. Then the whole school knew about this new guy."
Su Lun chuckled after hearing this.
When he was in Luying, Jike bombed several laboratories, and he was regarded as an alternative at that time.
I didn’t expect to be here, but I became a star student.
The two of them walked and chatted, and soon they arrived at the Marfa Library.
This is a very large building. The ground part is made of steel and glass. It shines in the sun and looks very beautiful.
The academic atmosphere of library management is excellent, and there are many students borrowing classics.
Every corner of the bookshelf is almost filled with people.
Su Lun walked in and sat in an inconspicuous position, chatting and waiting for Dora to arrive.
No. 19 continued the introduction: "The Academy Library was established by Grand Master Lucian Pepys. After he founded the 'Mechanical Alchemy Guild', he spent the rest of his life establishing the Royal Academy. Library. It was also his lifelong effort. Therefore, there has been a legend for hundreds of years that when studying in the library, if you occasionally encounter problems, you will receive the soul blessing and enlightenment from Master Lucien."
Su Lun: "Soul blessing?"
No. 19 said: "Yes. It is said that more than one has encountered it. Many of the great and successful mechanics in the Marfa Empire had similar experiences when they were studying in the academy when they were young. Students It is said that this is a library blessed by the mechanical ancestors. Only the top genius students will be blessed by the 'Library Ghost'. Of course, because of this legend, there are many sensationalists who say that they have been blessed. experience."
"Oh?"
When Su Lun heard this, he felt more serious in his heart.
For the alchemist, there must be a reason behind all appearances.
This inexplicable "soul blessing", if it is true, must have a cause.
And coincidentally, he himself is an expert on souls.
Quietly, he held the black umbrella in his hand and felt it slightly, but did not find any soul fluctuations.
However, the structure of the library is indeed quite complex.
In addition to the huge surface buildings, there are spaces hundreds of meters underground, where are some of the college's laboratories.
The two waited for a while, and the time arrived at the agreed two o'clock.
At this moment, a girl in casual clothes appeared at the door of the library on time.
Although her appearance had changed, Su Lun still recognized the meat lady at first sight.
Dora also saw Su Lun and walked straight over.
Su Lun did not pretend not to know him, and said hello: "Colonel Dora, long time no see."
But Dora seemed to be angry and business-like, and said first: "On behalf of the Marfa Military Department, I would like to thank you for the information you provided."
Su Lun was stunned when he heard this.
Although the two of them are not too familiar, they are not so familiar.
"Please have a seat."
After saying hello, he noticed something and asked directly: "Colonel Dora, is there no misunderstanding between us?"
Dora didn't want to say it at first, but seeing this hateful guy pretending to be innocent made her furious.
She said coldly: "Your Majesty's methods are quite clever. Now that your wife has become the Emperor of Lu Ying, there are voices in our Malfa family immediately, asking us to abandon hatred and unite to fight against foreign enemies. Some even say that we will welcome The Raigadi royal family has returned to the country. Although I think it is right to do this politically. But now that the enemy of plane invasion is ahead, can we use less political methods so that everyone can communicate with the outside world?"
"???"
After hearing this, Su Lun realized why Miss Roupiao was so angry.
It turns out that it was Catherine who took the blame for becoming emperor.
Su Lun had thought before that Ekaterina chose the Raigadi family as a springboard, and her eyes were not just looking at Lu Yingying.
The status of the Raigadi family is very special, because it was once the poor royal family of Marfa.
The two empires of Marfa and Luying have been at war for hundreds of years, and it is absolutely impossible for the two authorities to reconcile. They are willing, but the families of those soldiers who died in the war will definitely not be willing.
But it is very delicate to have such a royal family from a hundred years ago to mediate.
If an old Marfa royal family becomes the new emperor of Lu Ying, then the people of the Marfa Empire can accept him as their own emperor in their hearts.
From this point of view, from the beginning of the layout, Yekaterina's goal included the Marfa Empire.
Perhaps he wants to become the sole monarch who can unify two empires?
It's just a sudden plane invasion.
But the layout was before the invasion. As far as Su Lun knew, it was not necessarily Ye's attention. Such a proud person, even if he has calculations, will never do such a despised behavior.
There is a high probability that the old members of the Leijiadi family are anxious to return to the country. After all, they have done nothing in the past two hundred years, and there are still many remnants of the old era in Marfa. Now that there is hope, it is natural to take big action.
But this is all speculation.
The truth has nothing to do with me.
Su Lun chuckled and defended himself, "Whether you believe it or not, this matter has nothing to do with me. I have no interest in politics. Moreover, I am Dawn Su Lun, the 'Fick' of Raiga Land forever. It won’t show up.”
"."
Dora frowned as she listened.
Hearing this, she looked at Su Lun carefully with a careful look, as if she was confirming in some way that he was not telling lies. The anger between his eyebrows dissipated a little.
But she still complained: "Nothing good will happen when I meet you."
Su Lun didn't care at all. After all, the sequelae of the kidnapping have not been completely eliminated.
He directly changed the topic and asked: "How is the situation on the front line?"
Dora's face has returned to normal, and she responded: "The battle situation is very tragic. But for now, it is still controllable. It is impossible to completely solve the problem. The defensive barrier arranged by the ninth-level magic tower, There is no way to break it yet. And as time goes by, the plane channel becomes more and more stable, and the enemy's top magician will also come."
As she spoke, the worry on her face did not diminish.
Su Lun knew about this situation before and it was indeed not optimistic.
After all, the plane of gods is higher than the broken alchemy plane by countless levels of combat power.
Just like elephants to ants, they have the ability to crush them.
At present, there is really no way to stop it.
After making some calculations, Mr. Jiu Jing discovered that only when people from the alchemy plane are qualified to leave the plane can there be any hope of finding a solution to the problem.
"But thank you very much for the combat support provided by your organization. Especially Mr. Jing, the military department also hopes to cooperate with you, Dawn."
Speaking of the war, Dora also had a look of fatigue on her face.
She didn't say much more on this depressing topic, and instead said: "Just don't think about the Isaac manuscript for the time being. After your wife became emperor, all kinds of old-era gangsters have appeared recently. Come, now His Majesty the Emperor is suspicious of your motives. Even if I am willing to believe you, it will be impossible to get it in a short time."
"Yeah."
When Su Lun heard this, his expression didn't change.
Currently, he plans to go to Dragon Island, so he is not too anxious to get the notebook in the hands of the Marfa Royal Family.
He thought about it and then said: "One more thing is that I need some mechanics to help me make some accessories for the mechanical castle."
Dora remembered that the two of them had mentioned this verbally before, so she asked directly: "Where are the drawings?"
Su Lun took out some of the blueprints of [Sky Battle Castle].
Dora's eyes were immediately attracted by the exquisite design. As a mechanical master, she recognized it after looking at it for a moment, and exclaimed: "Lu Ying's Gusmao airship drawing? You actually have this thing?!"
As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to think of something, and changed her mouth and said: "Oh, I almost forgot. Her Majesty the Empress Lu Ying is your wife."
Su Lun felt a little helpless when he heard this obviously sarcastic statement.
The airship was indeed given by Ekaterina, but the drawing was his own.
He didn't explain much, just asked: "Can these mechanical castle parts Marfa be manufactured currently?"
Although he has the [Energy Core of the Goblin Sky Castle] in his hand, Lu Ying's mechanical technology cannot restore the ultra-high-pressure steam power boiler of the Sky Castle on the drawing.
Dora was not in a hurry to answer. She looked at a few drawings carefully and then said: "Most of them are fine."
After reading the drawing, she turned her eyes and seemed to have thought of something. Then she looked at Su Lun and said: "This drawing should be of a very ancient goblin mechanical castle. I read it right, Lu Ying's Gusmao The airship was imitated according to this drawing. But to drive such a huge mechanical city to fly in the sky, the power required is terrifying. This is something that current technology cannot support at all, so Lu Yingcai imitated some clumsy airships."
As she said this, she saw Su Lun, and seemed to have guessed that he had the key parts in his hand.
But I didn’t mention it on purpose.
So smart!
Su Lun also saw her thoughts from her eyes.
Mr. Hei has also asserted before that this young lady has extremely outstanding talents. Apart from a slight lack of age and experience, she will definitely be able to stand at the top of the world's pyramid in the future.
Dora thought for a moment and then said: "Can you sell me this drawing? Any conditions can be negotiated."
At this point, she also knew that her words seemed a bit abrupt, and quickly explained: "What I mean is that even if we cannot build a sky battle fortress, we can also transform the drawings into a land or sea mechanical castle. ! This is definitely a great weapon for resisting those dimensional invaders."
Su Lun was not too surprised when he heard this and responded: "Okay! But I have only one request. This drawing must not be used in the war between the two empires of Marfa and Lu Ying. If you can guarantee this, I can give you the drawings."
"."
Hearing this, Dora immediately fell silent.
She can't guarantee it.
Even if the military department comes forward, there is no guarantee.
Although Marfa does not have traditional nobles, the internal situation is not much better than Luying.
With years of fighting, the major arms dealers have the absolute right to influence politics, which is a behemoth that their military departments are often helpless to do anything about.
They are greedy, ignorant, selfish, and monopolize technology. Many times they only care about their own interests and do not take into account the overall situation.
If they could, arms dealers would like to see the world plunge into war forever.
Dora sometimes hates those arms dealers.
Su Lun looked at Dora’s expression and was in a dilemma,
But at this time, a strange color suddenly flashed across his eyes, because he discovered that a very slight soul wave had just appeared.
It was discovered and then disappeared immediately.
"Hey, is there really a spirit body in this library?"
Su Lun let out a light sigh in his heart and fell into thinking.
The way this spirit appeared was very special, unlike anything I had ever seen before. Does it feel like it's the entire library?
He knew that Dora could not make guarantees, so this blueprint transaction would definitely be fruitless.
Unsurprisingly, Dora responded with regret: "Sorry, I can't guarantee it."
Su Lun also felt that he could skip this topic.
Unexpectedly, Dora changed the topic and raised a new question: "But can I participate in the construction of this mechanical city in a private capacity?"
Su Lun was startled when he heard this.
What he was thinking about was not what Miss Meupiao said, but something else.
Could it be that the spirit body just communicated something to her?
So the spirit body has subjective consciousness? ”
Su Lun looked at Dora calmly and asked, "What do you think? Colonel Dora."
Dora also knew that it was not very convincing to say this to someone like herself, a Marfa colonel. After all, she had a "record" of being a spy. She added: "If you can't trust me, I can have some exchange conditions, such as Sign the contract. Don’t worry, my mechanical skills are definitely not bad, and I also need this drawing."
She was sure that the guy in front of her had complete drawings and some key components.
So even if it is copied, it is not as good as the one in his hand.
Su Lun did not refuse in a hurry, but asked meaningfully: "Can I ask why?"
Dora hesitated to speak, as if she wanted to explain, but after pondering for a moment, she finally shook her head and said: "Sorry, I can't tell you this reason for the time being. I can only promise that I have no ill intentions."
"Then let me think about it."
Su Lun didn’t force anything when he heard it, he just said: "How about you help me first with a group of mechanics who can forge? Of course, I will pay you in full."
Dora didn't know what to say for a moment, so she just said: "Okay."
The two chatted for a while, making various side remarks and asking for news.
Suellen asked about the ghost in the library, and also asked some questions about Isaac's notebook, etc. but got no results.
And Dora also asked some side questions about the mechanical limb No. 19 and Su Lun’s talent
After all, he is a professional spy. He does not talk about intelligence, but only inquires.
The atmosphere of the chat was not very pleasant, but everyone gained something.
While chatting, Su Lun sometimes put his hand on the rune black umbrella. He wanted to feel what kind of existence the "library ghost" was.
But this move did not go unnoticed by the shrewd Miss Meupiao.
Dora was also rude to Su Lun. Seeing him keeping his hand on the umbrella, she finally couldn't help but choked: "Your Excellency Su Lun, do you want me to hang up your umbrella for you? You can hang it indoors. Umbrella, the students will think you are a weirdo."
Su Lun knew that he always carried a black umbrella with him wherever he went, and others would never think it was an ordinary umbrella.
Hearing the obviously teasing tone, he didn't hide it and said with a smile: "When you encounter Colonel Dora, it's best to take precautions."
When Dora heard this, it seemed as if some unpleasant memories were aroused, and she retorted: "Hmph! I just wondered if you had any special 'bad luck' talent. Nothing good will happen when I meet you!"
"Heh"
Su Lun recalled the two previous encounters, and it seemed that they were not very pleasant for this person.
But for him, it was a big opportunity with good harvest.
They joked a little with each other, and the atmosphere of the negotiation was not bad.
However, at this moment, Su Lun's eyes suddenly turned sharp.
Dora looked at his sudden serious expression and thought he had discovered the secret of the library, so she asked cautiously: "What's wrong?"
Su Lun's eyes became more and more solemn, as if he was afraid of being discovered, and he didn't even dare to turn his head to look directly at what he found, and said slowly: "Maybe you were right this time. We are going to be in big trouble. ”
Number 19 on the side also looked serious and was ready for battle.
Dora was very cautious after hearing this. She suddenly guessed something and asked: "Enemy?"
Not many people can say that the person in front of me is "big trouble" now.
Think about it, he must be someone from the plane of gods.
"Yeah."
Su Lun himself did not expect that when he released his soul perception with all his strength just now, he did not find the ghost in the library, but found another person.
It was none other than Frank McAdam, the "holy son" of the Celestial Clan whose arm was cut off by him in Linton!
Dora has never seen Su Lun look so serious, even in that "T-level" cursed space.
She asked: "How strong is the enemy?"
Su Lun said directly: "Very strong! Last time I and the leader of our group failed to keep him. Now, with the arrival of ninth-level professionals, we may not even be able to do it."
He sensed the fluctuations in Frank's soul.
A few months ago I didn’t see him being this strong, but now he is so strong that it makes people feel faintly heartbroken.
Before, he teamed up with Mr. Mirror and Senjo to break his arm in a sneak attack. Now you can imagine.
This guy is definitely the "blockbuster" of plane invasion.
Su Lun took a deep breath in his heart and said: "That person at ten o'clock, 150 meters away. Don't look directly at him, and don't try to pry. He is blessed by the gods, and any hostility or prying eyes will be ignored. Discovered. If you have any means, please quickly notify the top experts."
This is not just for the lady opposite, but also for the ghost in the library.
When Dora heard this, she immediately guessed that it was the wanted Son.
She didn't dare to say her name, and her lips moved slightly, as if sending some signal.
Su Lun recognized this guy, but after thinking for a moment, his brows suddenly relaxed.
It’s not surprising that this guy came to Marfa, after all, the plane passage is here.
But why did you come to the library of the School of Mechanical Engineering?
But no matter what, I am not seeking revenge on myself.
Dora can become a professional spy, and her mentality is naturally not bad.
Looking at the change in Su Lun's expression, he guessed his thoughts as if he could read his mind, and couldn't help but complain: "Hey, hey, hey, even if I'm not here for you, are you really not going to help?"
Su Lun shrugged: "I will help if I can. But I may not be able to help you much now."
The revenge of the broken arm last time was not small, Su Lun didn’t think showing up was a good choice.
Being targeted by a guy who is always protected by God, he can guarantee that others may not kill Frank, but they will definitely kill him and Su!
Su Lun didn't care about Miss Meupiao's disdainful gaze and just reminded: "Didn't you think about why he came to the library?"
"."
Dora obviously guessed something, her expression changed.
But it seemed that something top secret was involved, and she didn't dare to make a decision.
It’s not surprising that a large empire has some top secrets. Su Lun didn’t really want to explore them.
However, at this moment, Su Lun suddenly heard a mysterious and distant voice in his mind: "Little friend, your soul is very special. If possible, I think we can get to know each other. I'm sorry that I can't show up. So I can only wrong you and your friends to come here. Please also bring my disciples with you."
Spiritual communication?
In an instant, Su Lun knew that it was the "library ghost" who was speaking.
What surprised him was that he was actually Dora’s teacher?
It turned out that this was the reason why she made an appointment to meet in the library.
PS. Please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket for the new month, please.
