Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 564: [Descartes’ Crystal Skull]

Chapter 564 [Descartes’ Crystal Skull]

Su Lun saw the city half submerged in the sea at the end of the field of vision and issued a warning.

After a while, almost everyone on the boat started to move.

"Wow, there is such a magnificent city! This is probably almost the same size as Billington."

"Oh my God, all the buildings in the city are made of stone! How did the craftsmen in ancient times build such a tall house using only stones?"

"Hey, this Atlantis is a relic from the legendary Dawn Age, and I don't know what treasures are hidden inside."

"."

On the side of the ship and on the mast, everyone in the Dawn Group held telescopes and looked at the city in the distance.

The time and space in the cursed space are different from the outside world, so the ancient city that should have been lost in the long river of time has been preserved.

Now everyone seems to have gradually turned a page in the historical books, witnessing the traces of that glorious civilization across time and space.

Everyone also discovered a strange phenomenon. The surrounding sea area was dim, but the sea water near the city showed a light fluorescent blue.

The ship got closer, and the observer on the ship immediately issued a warning: "There is something in the sea! It seems to be a luminous jellyfish. No! It's a ghost!"

With this statement, everyone became alert.

There was a dense sound of guns being loaded.

Su Lun had actually discovered it a long time ago. He was holding a black rune umbrella, and there were already a lot of soul fluctuations in his perception range.

It’s just that many ordinary people can’t see it.

The old sword **** Bartolo also said before that there are a large number of ghost monsters in this ruined city, and they had plans to follow this direction.

It's just that only Gao Zhan knew about the plan to ambush the necromancer from the plane of heaven, so the crew was surprised.

The Evernight slowly sailed towards the lost city. There were more and more ghosts near the ship, and some erratic light blue spirits were visible to the naked eye.

Gradually, everyone discovered that these ghosts were not aggressive at all, and no one acted strangely.

At this moment, everyone realized that the faint fluorescent blue they saw before was the light emitted by these ghosts.

These ghost-level spirits are all non-level spirits. Their facial features look vague and dull, and they have no tendency to attack.

They are just on the sea, floating aimlessly in the water.

Seeing everyone's confusion, Mr. Hei explained: "There is a saying in the classics of certain sects that after death, the soul will either go to heaven or hell. The soul that remains in the world will change. Becoming ghosts, they will gradually forget everything in their lives, cannot find their way back or their origin, and will be lost in the world forever."

Everyone was stunned as they listened.

Su Lun also knows this statement.

But he saw something else.

He has now thoroughly researched the soul, and can clearly feel the condition of the soul body. How could he not know that these were just the remnant souls of ordinary people, and they had no resentment and could not become evil spirits.

However, it is unusual for so many spirits to gather in the city of Atlantis in front of them.

Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the distant city, and a guess came to his mind: "There is a treasure."

Souls can also dissipate. So many spirits gathered here and have not dissipated yet, which means that there is something in the city that can be beneficial to the souls.

However, it is normal for such ancient ruins to have treasures.

The next thing Su Lun thought about was, where would the necromancer hide and take action?

Sailing is farther than it seems.

After sailing for about half an hour, the Evernight arrived at the outskirts of the city.

This is a huge city half submerged in the sea, with no edges visible at a glance. But the buildings in the city are like rocks with different heights, and even a big ship like the Evernight cannot enter.

Su Lun called everyone to prepare to get off the boat.

When they heard that they were going to hunt for treasures in the ruins, everyone in the Dawn Group immediately became excited.

But it is a dangerous place after all, and it is impossible to have too many people there.

And if someone goes, someone must stay to watch the boat, and everyone is rushing to sign up.

Lolota held Qianchiao's arms and didn't let go, shouting: "Wow, teacher, teacher! I want to go!"

Tani also looked at Su Lun excitedly and said, "Mr. Su Lun, I want to go too, please take me there."

Tatu of the Naga tribe is not far behind, "This is all sea water. What treasures are we looking for, the Naga tribe is more suitable?"

Others: "There is still me, me, me"

Su Lun knew very well that the enemy's target was himself, so he would naturally go there.

Qianjou is still thinking about the Skeleton Sword God and the famous sword Buddha Tu, and wants to go.

In the end, the two of them, who were least affected by the environment, and Mr. Hei, a polymath, led a group of young people from the Dawn Regiment who were joining in the fun to change boats and go to the ruins.

The old sword **** Bartolo stayed on the ship, firstly to guard the ship, and secondly to give the Necromancer a chance to take action.

Otherwise, the necromancer might not dare to show up if there is such a being who can kill him.

Su Lun and his party rowed a small boat and entered the city.

Most of the city wall, which is tens of meters high, is immersed in the water, with only one or two meters exposed above the water. There are signs of collapse everywhere, as if it was knocked down from the inside out by some huge impact.

The boat went all the way along the gap in the city wall.

After entering the city wall, there is a residential area completely submerged in the sea.

The sea water is very clear, the edges and corners of the buildings in the water are clearly visible under the blue light, and the seaweed is flowing.

If it weren’t for the many ugly, deformed sea creatures swimming around in the water, the ruins in the sea would definitely be beautiful.

Su Lun is now proficient in the architectural styles of various eras. The architectural layout of this Atlantis city is a bit like the Roman temple style of the four kingdoms of Hokkaido.

He could roughly guess what the functions were by looking at the roofs of the buildings in the city.

Temple, concert hall, theater, arena, public bath, etc.

This city is so large that it can accommodate tens of millions of people. It is impossible for them to search every corner carefully.

So Su Lun directly focused on the temple at the highest point of the city.

Generally speaking, that kind of place is where the most important treasures are stored.

And he also discovered that the closer to the center of the ruins, the more powerful the ghost becomes.

Su Lun felt that if he was the necromancer, the best choice would be for them to ambush him after they went deep into the ruins.

He stood at the bow of the boat, silently holding an umbrella.

[Goddess Hel’s Rune Soul Umbrella] has the effect of shocking and comforting spiritual bodies.

With the protection of this black umbrella, the surrounding spirits seemed to have not noticed them, floating by.

Su Lun also plans to avoid fighting as much as possible.

The boat sailed steadily on the sea like this, neither rushing nor slowing down, and not daring to go too fast.

Suddenly, Tani saw something, pointed into the water and said: "Look, there is a statue in the square!"

Lolota also discovered something: "Hey, the weapons in the hands of those statues still have a metallic luster?"

Su Lun also looked over intently.

A hundred meters away, there is a fountain square at the bottom of the water. Surrounding the square are a group of seven or eight meter high stone sculptures, wearing armor and helmets. They are powerful and strong.

Most of the sculptures were broken into pieces, and only two or three were intact.

It was not surprising that there were statues in such a large city, but what was strange to Su Lun was that those sculptures were actually combat weapons with magic patterns.

Tani said hello, and several people picked up the weapons.

[Giant Spear (Silver)], [Giant Shield (Silver)], [Giant Two-Handed Sword (Gold)].

The quality is pretty good.

Su Lun was also very surprised.

But it's just too big.

A weapon is three to five meters long and weighs hundreds of kilograms. It is not an equipment that can be used by ordinary human beings, like a weapon of the giants.

"Wow, there are so many treasures in this square, isn't there more in the ruins?"

"There must be a lot of treasures left! Hahaha, our Dawn Group may get rich this time!"

"."

Tani and the others immediately became excited.

Seeing this, Su Lun also felt that there might be a big harvest in this ruins.

After all, even if these weapons are not used, they are still valuable. But it was not taken away from such an obvious place, which means that no living person may have come to this city after it was destroyed. Then there must have been no raids elsewhere in the city.

This is a completely undiscovered treasure place!

In this way, with the excitement of treasure hunting, the boat continued to sail towards the depths of the ruins.

Tani is half of the Naga family and has a very strong ability to survive underwater. Lolota and others also took underwater breathing potions and carried metal detectors used by the dwarves for mining, which seemed to be flexible. Follow the swimming fish all the way to hunt for treasure.

However, to their surprise, they also gained a lot along the way!

Although this ruins looks old and most of the things have decayed, most of the metal objects are still there.

Along the way, Lolota and the others would find various valuable things from time to time.

Even in those small houses that look like private houses, some scattered gold and silver coins and ancient pottery can be found.

Su Lun did not stop their enthusiastic treasure hunting activities, and even thought it would be good to make some noise.

As he went deeper, he became more and more certain that the necromancer must be ambushing him here.

Because this journey has been so smooth.

If this were the ruins in other places, it would be reasonable to say that the journey was smooth.

But this is a T-level cursed space!

The absence of danger is the biggest anomaly.

It seems that there is some hidden force that has restrained those monsters, deliberately letting them get closer to the depths of the ruins smoothly.

And this ruins are full of ghost monsters. The one with such control ability and motivation must be the necromancer Yale Robbins who is good at controlling souls.

Su Lun thought of this and glanced at Qian Jiao beside him.

This young woman addicted to gambling already had a look of anticipation on her face.

Actually, it's not that the enemy is stupid. People can see it by making such an obvious flaw.

Su Lun could tell that he was just taking advantage of the information gap between the two parties.

The enemy did not know that the Black Sam Pirates had visited this ruins, and thought that the Dawn Group knew nothing.

Although there are many ghosts in this ruins now, it is still a bit different from the dense high-level ghost monsters described by the old sword **** Bartolo.

If Su Lun didn’t know, maybe he wouldn’t think too much about it and would think that the ruins were just like this.

But now that I knew it, I immediately realized something was wrong.

The boat sailed all the way towards the temple. The temple is the tallest building in the city, and the main temple is also on the water.

You can see a golden glow from a long distance away. The entire temple is made of gold, silver, ivory and beautifully carved stone pillars.

The boat docked at the edge of the stone steps leading to the temple.

Su Lun walked down the stone steps first.

It had been a long time since he had stepped on solid ground, which made him feel amazing.

As soon as everyone came down, Lolota pointed with sharp eyes: "Look, there is a shield on the stage!"

On the steps not far away from everyone, a shield with the God of War pattern engraved on it was shining with dark golden light.

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

[Golden Shield of the God of War Athena (dark gold)]

Detailed explanation: Even if it is an imitation of an artifact, this is an absolutely hard shield; it weighs 1221 kilograms, has a solidity of +889, and comes with special effects such as perfect block, absolute magic rebound, and blood punch; this is a spiritual shield. Only those with heroic domineering can use it;

"This?"

Su Lun looked at it and let out a sigh.

A dark gold-level heavy shield, which can be regarded as top-notch knight equipment in the two empires of Lu, Ying and Marfa.

Su Lun felt that he had seen many good shields, and the one in front of him was definitely among the top three.

But such a quiet shield was placed casually on the steps?

Su Lun and others walked over.

Lolota wanted to pick it up, but even with veins popping out on his arm, he had to lift it with great difficulty.

Tani on the side also tried it, and the same thing happened.

The two of them looked over with frustrated expressions, "Teacher, Mr. Su Lun, I can't pick it up."

Qianjou also walked over curiously and tried it. With one arm, he easily took it in his hand.

However, she is a swordsman, and she is not very good at using it. She just said: "This shield is contaminated with the spirit of the heroic spirit. If you don't understand the domineering spirit, you can't control it."

Lolota immediately became frustrated and stuck out her tongue: "Oh. No wonder."

Qianjou looked at his disciple and did not forget to take the opportunity to teach him a lesson: "Now you know that your strength is not enough, right? If you don't practice well, you won't be able to use good equipment. You are still clamoring for a famous sword. You are the only one who wants it." I haven’t mastered the level of domineering, I can’t even pick up a shield, what’s the point of being called a sword?”

Lolota pouted, with an aggrieved expression on her face after being scolded, and defended: "Teacher, I have worked very hard, right? And I feel that I am only a few steps away from realizing domineering. ”

As she spoke, she pinched a very short distance with her fingers to indicate.

"Work hard?"

Qian Tiao's eyes were full of disdain for this statement, and he said angrily: "Do you have as much time to practice as Su Lun? Is this considered hard work?"

"I"

Lolota wanted to tell a few sentences for herself, but she immediately wilted after hearing the second half of the sentence. She lowered her head and muttered: "Of course it can't be compared with Mr. Sullen."

Su Lun also smiled after hearing this, and was used to being the "constant unit of measurement" for various teachers and disciples in the group.

He didn’t practice as long as he did, so he just didn’t work hard enough.

This did not make the young men on the boat complain.

Su Lun is a recognized cultivator who can stay in the cabin for ten and a half days without going out. This is not something that everyone can do.

However, being scolded did not affect Lolota and the others' enthusiasm for treasure hunting.

A few people turned around and smiled happily, and ran up the steps again. Suddenly Tani discovered something and exclaimed: "Look at the temple, there are so many skeletons! So many weapons!"

Su Lun also walked up.

In fact, Uncle Crow, who flew over first, had already seen it.

The temple is designed with ventilation on all sides, so it can be seen clearly at a glance.

At this moment, there are many skeletons at the entrance of the temple. There are some rotten weapons next to the skeleton, and some are intact. For example, the golden shield that fell on the steps just now was one of them. It fell on the steps during the fight.

And there are more in the temple.

Various jade-colored skeletons and even golden skeletons were lying messily on the ground, as if there had been a war here.

Knives, swords, spears, shields, axes, daggers, rings, bracelets, wrist guards.

Gold level, dark gold level, legendary level, and even epic level equipment are scattered everywhere.

I don’t know what happened here, but everyone in Su Lun was dumbfounded when they saw so many high-level treasures.

It is indeed the most glorious era of the Alchemy Plane in Dawn Chance. Just these equipments can show how fierce the battle was and how high the standards were!

This temple is like a huge treasure chest, revealing its treasures to intruders for the first time in countless years.

However, just when everyone was excited, Su Lun looked stern and suddenly shouted: "Don't come near the temple!"

His left eye was shining brightly, and he could not see the strong soul fluctuations within the temple.

When Lolota and others heard this, the excitement on their faces instantly subsided, and they immediately became alert.

Qianjou also narrowed his eyes slightly and put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Su Lun had long expected that the necromancer Yale Robbins would take action here, but his expression did not change much.

As expected!

At this moment, among the pile of skeletons in the temple, a skeleton with blazing phosphorus fire in its eye sockets slowly stood up, holding a long sword with a rotten scabbard in its hand.

Even though it was just a skeleton, everyone immediately recognized that this was the skeleton sword **** they had seen before!

It seems that this guy originally wanted to hide in the pile of bones and plot a plot, but it didn't work.

However, this does not seem to affect his plan.

The Skeleton Sword God stood up, the phosphorus fire in his eyes burning brightly, and the expression of "I've finally waited for you" seemed to be seen on the face that only had bones left.

At the same time, a demonic wind suddenly blew up around the temple, and countless ghosts pressed out like a black cloud.

Su Lun's pupils shrank slightly when he saw this.

He was not at all surprised to be ambushed by this guy.

Because this is the battlefield they deliberately chose.

But looking at the crystal skull next to the skeleton sword god, Su Lun's pupils shrank slightly.

[Descartes’ Crystal Skull]

Description: I think, so I am

The degree of retention is affected by the strength of the soul).

Looking at the identified information, Su Lun was surprised and pleasantly surprised.

Thoughts were racing in his mind: "Epic cursed object?! It turns out that the ghosts in this ruins are all gathered together because of this treasure."

The enemy uses this crystal skull to control the spirits around him.

Because the effectiveness of this cursed object is simply an artifact for soul professionals!

Seeing this, Su Lun immediately determined the materials for his eighth-level career advancement.

This cursed object completes the final step in his ideal planning of the Puppet Master career!
