Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 218: The world on the ground

Pirates poured into the city and looted wildly. Only a small group of pirates were left guarding the entrance to the Black Tower of the Duke's Palace.

In their eyes, the fires exploding all over the city were like fireworks at a festival, marking the beginning of a carnival feast.

To this group of pirates, the prosperous old town of Rington was a dazzling gold mine, guarded by a group of "little boys."

A few pirates were bored, so they gathered a table of poker and played the pirate card.

While playing cards, I mumbled about my dissatisfaction.

"Bah~ What a **** unlucky person! The other divisions are enjoying a good time in the city, but we still have to guard this broken tower here."

"That's right. The strongest professional in this dungeon is only at level three. Captain, you can just crush him to death. This is simply a waste. It's not like outside, there is such a big city territory, and there are people of level six or seven. The high-level professionals don’t know what to guard. Besides, Boss Gar is still guarding outside, who can escape?"

"Who told me that I was unlucky in drawing lots before! Forget it, let's not talk about it. Anyway, if you keep it, you can share the money, so just treat it as idle..."

"Captain, money is the same thing. I just heard from Gangplank that the women in this dungeon are as smooth as the noble ladies outside. Those on the upper floors of high-rise buildings can be caught easily. There are a lot of ladies and ladies, and the birds are too busy."

"Adams, please stop talking. The more you talk, the more panicked I become."

"Don't worry, we will definitely get a batch of 'good goods' on board when we leave. If you want to play then, go back to the ship and have fun."

"Hey, this batch of good goods is going to the 'Pirate City' to ensure good business"

""

The pirates became more interested when they talked about women.

I also forgot about the patrol realm

Old Town has a complex sewer system. Under the black market in Shadow Alley, there is a secret passage that leads directly to the center of the inner city.

Even though the eight gates of the inner city were controlled by pirates, Mr. Jing and Su Lun and others successfully sneaked into the inner city.

Other forces cultivated by the Reyes family and Mr. Mirror in the city also received the news and were waiting in a secret warehouse on the ground floor early.

Pirates are busy looting in the wealthy areas in the upper levels of the city, while the lower levels are relatively safe.

When Su Lun and the others arrived, there were already three to four hundred people gathered in the warehouse. Including the people brought by other members of the Mirror Organization, there were nearly five hundred people in total.

Suellen brought Kai and pharmacist Danny, as well as Sabine and several of her confidants. He also saw the president of the Cross Society, "Arbiter" Chuck, and several core cadres in the crowd. Even if he is as strong as Chuck, he is only a preliminary member of the Mirror Organization.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

After Mr. Jing arrived, everyone filed out of the warehouse without stopping.

Old London is a big city after all, with dense and three-dimensional buildings.

If ten thousand pirates are thrown in, it will appear very scattered.

Moreover, the pirates were still busy robbing, and no one paid attention to the team at the bottom that was shuttling through the dark alleys.

This group of people were much more familiar with Old Lingtown than the group of foreign pirates. Soon, this group of people arrived near the Duke's Palace.

The Duke's Palace is at the foot of the Black Tower. In order to highlight its identity and keep it secret, there are no other buildings nearby.

The large army hid in a building in the distance. Eight people wearing gold-patterned cloaks quietly walked into the black tower moat and hid next to the tower of the covered bridge, just blocked by the wall.

This cloak is a high-level alchemy product that can isolate perception and breath. The pirates did not notice anyone approaching.

At this time, ripples flashed in the air, and a sneaking assassin quietly appeared. He reported to Mr. Jing: "Chief, there are fifteen pirates guarding the tower. One is fifth level, one is fourth level, and Four third levels"

The defensive strength is not too strong.

"Yeah."

Mr. Jing nodded and said: "The current situation is that 80% of those pirates are looting in the inner city. There are probably less than a thousand people guarding the ship outside the tower. There are several fifth-level squads and that The sixth-level "Frost Troll" Gar Popov. It was also a fierce battle after going out. Let's act quickly and try to grab a ship and go to sea before the pirates in Old Town react. ”

Everyone listened quietly and nodded: "Yes."

"Prepare for action."

Mr. Jing's tone was serious, "These pirates in front of us must be killed quickly. Don't let them send a signal, which will buy us more time to rush out."

Everyone: "Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, eight of the nine cloaked men disappeared.

This distance of more than one hundred meters can be reached in the blink of an eye for a fourth-level professional.

The only one left behind is naturally the second-level Su.

Su Lun's face twitched slightly when he saw the big guys disappearing around him. Even though he was half a step slower, he rushed forward.

After all, he is not here to fish

The pirates guarding the tower were playing cards carelessly, not thinking that anyone would come back to attack the tower.

But after all, there are fifth-level professions. Just when Mr. Jing and his group burst into action, the fifth-level captain reacted.

Looking at the bursting murderous intent, he immediately realized that something was wrong and stood up suddenly. Just as he was about to say "no" in his heart, he suddenly found that the air around his body had solidified. got up.

"Sixth level technique!"

Feeling the crisis of approaching death, the captain's expression changed drastically. His reaction was also extremely fast, and he instinctively wanted to pull away and leave the place. When he lowered his gaze, he discovered that a purple lightning chain was quietly locked on his foot, and a sense of numbness instantly swept through his body.

Mr. Jing took control personally, how could he give him a chance to break free?

Just for a moment, his body stiffened, and before he could react, a dark space crack appeared on his neck.

Looking again, the one who took action was Su Lun who was still dozens of meters away.

When it comes to killing, as long as the target is under control, Su Lun's sickle is the fastest to kill!

The fifth-level captain was killed instantly, and the other pirates died suddenly in the blink of an eye, surrounded and killed by everyone in the mirror organization.

As soon as the communicator informed, large troops from the distant building immediately rushed over.

Su Lun walked over and swallowed up all the soul fragments floating on the corpses of more than a dozen pirates with anticipation.

"Get "Severino Connery's" memory fragments*4"

"You got the message: 'I'm going to get rich this time, grab this wave, I will have a great time'"

"You have understood the incomplete fifth-level water law"

"You have mastered the skill [Diving Mastery]"

"You have mastered [Basic Navigation]"

"Fighting experience +122"

"Mental Power +6.3"

But as soon as he swallowed the fragments of the fifth-level squad leader, Su Lun's expression looked strange: "What the hell? A fifth-level captain only has this little knowledge??"

Except for the very incomplete fragments of the water law, it is still a small surprise.

Other values ​​are very limited.

Diving and sailing can be stripped off by ordinary sailors, and they are not worthy of the "output" of a fifth-level professional.

In this guy's mind, apart from women and pleasure, he has very little real useful alchemy knowledge.

The quality is very different from the fifth-level professionals he had stripped off before.

After thinking about it for a moment, Su Lun also figured it out.

The one who was stripped off before was the captain of the Duke's Guards. He was a genuine student from the Luying Royal War College with an astonishing amount of knowledge. But in front of me is just a pirate, similar to the gangsters in the outer city of Old Lingtown. It would be good to know some practical skills. How do you expect to have systematic knowledge?

Su Lun conveniently harvested the "gray mist" from the corpses of other pirates.

Harvest some skills such as [quick reloading skills of cannonballs], [sailboat control skills], and [identification of ocean current and wind direction], which are almost exclusive to pirates.

However, it seems that it will be put to use immediately, and Su Lun also thinks it is okay

After killing the pirates guarding the tower, a group of people rushed into the Duke's Palace, and then got into the towering black tower.

Because the pirates had destroyed all the mechanisms and restrictions in the tower, they left very smoothly.

Except for Mr. Mirror, this is the first time for everyone to enter the interior of the black tower.

The Black Tower is just a passage leading to a landmark, nothing special. The inside of the tower looks like the spiral rifling of a gun barrel. There are circles of stone steps on the walls. There is no elevator, so you can only climb the stairs. By visual inspection, the vertical height is about three or four kilometers.

Fortunately, almost everyone is a professional and can climb stairs very quickly.

The members of the Mirror Organization are leading the way, and only they are qualified to be in the front.

I encountered a wave of pirates carrying stolen goods on the road, and they were easily dealt with, leaving the bodies behind.

Su Lun couldn't keep up with the speed, and didn't feel that he was qualified to confront those fourth- and fifth-level pirates head-on, so he followed the large army behind.

As he walked on the steps, he noticed that the texture was very hard. After identifying it, he found that the material of the wall actually had a name, called [Asgard Stone].

I tried it with a sharp knife and found that it couldn't leave a mark on the stone at all.

Then, he tried it again with the black sickle.

What surprised him was that the space crack that cut everything, actually failed this time!

For the first time, Su Lun encountered materials that even a black sickle could not cut.

Now, I even want to cut a piece and take it away

Just when Su Lun was curiously trying, Mr. Jing walked up from behind.

She just placed some spell restrictions at the place where she came up.

Seeing that Su Lun was curious about the stone, he explained: "The Black Tower is actually a building that existed in the Dawn Era and was not here originally. This black stone is not a material from this plane. Legend has it that it was taken from a building called On the sacred mountain of Asgard. This is one of the hardest materials known so far. God-level experts may not be able to destroy this black tower. My father moved it over and connected it to the underground space passage. Integrated into one, it can be regarded as reinforcing the cracks in the passage."

"Oh."

After hearing this explanation, Su Lun finally understood.

So Sir Isaac moved this from somewhere else?

The thought of the black tower in his mind unexpectedly collapsing and the water pouring in was extinguished.

Buildings built to guard space passages will naturally not be broken so easily.

Mr. Jing didn't mean to say much, and suddenly frowned: "There's a fight outside! I'll take the first step, be careful!"

As he spoke, the figure disappeared.

Hearing this, Su Lun's expression became serious for a moment. Without stopping, he spread out his eight-armed spider spear and quickly rushed towards the ground

The battle is also expected.

In the original "tower attack" plan, they broke through the defense line of the underground Duke's Palace. After rushing up, they would also encounter obstacles from the garrison. Just like the uprising in Old Town fifty years ago,

It must be a fierce battle.

The top of the black tower is connected to a claustrophobic stone house, which looks like a basement.

This time the pirates broke through the black tower, which cleared up a lot of trouble for them.

All the heavy machine guns in the bunker were destroyed. The pirates had no intention of stationing there and did not repair them. He didn't have any tactical plans, so he lazily stood guard at the entrance of the passage.

This led Su Lun and his group to come up and have a direct confrontation with the pirates stationed there. The people guarding the passage are small pirates, and the elite are on board and underground. Mr. Hei and the others took action and quickly cleaned up.

At least, no one blocked the group of people rushing to the tower underground.

Five hundred people rushed out of the black tower, and the second part of the plan was completed perfectly.

Su Lun rushed up and happened to see a few corpses in the basement.

The soul fragments were still very clear, so I harvested them easily, and learned more about the pirate gang "King of the North Sea".

And he also discovered a slightly unexpected piece of blood, that is, although these pirates were at least first-level professionals, the colonial clothing and employment materials condensed from the corpses were of very poor quality.

In Old Town, "black iron grade" materials are the worst.

Unexpectedly, these pirate corpses also had whiteboard outfits identified as "low-quality".

This kind of inauguration materials and colonial clothing bring very low attribute increases, but correspondingly, the advancement conditions are even lower.

It can be said that as long as you practice the breathing method, anyone can advance to become a professional!

As soon as I think about it, I can understand.

The development of the old city of Linton is based on "archaeology", and many of the advanced materials used by professionals are fine products left over from ancient times.

Due to the harsh living environment, the Dark Warlock lineage absorbs dark spiritual power and may become distorted at any time. This also results in a small base of professionals, but the corresponding advanced materials are relatively high-end.

After all, the source of their materials is the entire "Old Lingdun Ruins".

So, when it comes to the same level of combat power, professionals in dungeons are even stronger than those on the ground.

At least, it is better than pirates who have not been systematically trained!

Su Lun did not stay in the basement and rushed out with the large army.

A fierce battle has begun outside, and the roar of artillery fire is loud.

Not all pirates are high-level professionals, only those in the fourth and fifth levels are in the minority.

What's more, most of the elite pirates are robbing underground.

The people stationed outside were caught off guard. Mr. Jing led a group of people and rushed out!

This is a Gothic castle, a standard military fortress. The castle is full of high-walled arrow towers, dense forts, and the "U-shaped port" where a dense number of ships are parked.

Su Lun had long known from his stripped memories that the Black Tower was on an isolated island called "Black Barrier Reef", and there was a military fortress on the island.

But others don't know.

They have never gone underground, and they have never known that there are other cities in the world besides Old Town.

Even the elite guards trained by the Reyes family had no idea what they were going to do this time before they took action!

The time outside is also midnight.

The moon and stars are sparse tonight, and the night is extremely beautiful.

The moonlight gave the castle a faint silver glow.

The bright stars in the sky are twinkling, endless and profound.

The waves beat against the shore rhythmically, crashing, crashing

The refreshing sea breeze with a hint of dampness blows on your face, making you feel that all the pores in your body are relaxed.

People can breathe the breath of freedom everywhere.

The people underground rushed out of the ground, and everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them.

It was like being a prisoner who had been trapped for several lifetimes and was suddenly freed. Even if he had been mentally prepared, he could not help but feel a turbulent wave in his heart at this moment.

The only light source underground was lights. They saw the bright moonlight for the first time, the boundless world for the first time, and the stars for the first time.

"Look, that's the legendary moon! Is this the sky? How high is it?"

"Wow the moon is so beautiful."

"It's too exaggerated. There's no end in sight. Is this the ocean? I thought it was similar to a larger underground lake."

"Oh my god, the world outside is so big"

""

Everyone's face was filled with shock, as if the world's knowledge had collapsed, and their eyes were filled with energy.

But before he could be stunned, the commander's stern shout came from the communicator: "Don't be stunned, direction twelve o'clock, seize the ship! Board the ship!"

Hundreds of people came to their senses instantly.

Listening to the direction given by the command, he rushed from the castle to the harbor where the ship was docked.

The pirates in the city were instantly dispersed and they rushed into the harbor.

But looking at the more than a hundred ships in front of him, he hesitated again.

There are two types of boats parked in the harbor. One is a traditional wooden boat powered by sails, with a pirate flag of "mace and skull" hanging on it.

There is also a steam-powered iron-clad ship that is emitting billowing white smoke, most of which are sprayed with the noble heraldry exclusive to the Raphael family.

There are even two small steam airships floating in the sky!

Someone asked urgently: "Commander, which ship should we grab?"

Someone immediately responded: "Grab the wooden boat!"

Although no one in the underground world has ever seen a ship, armored ships are not considered.

Even if I grab it, I still can’t figure out how to sail the boat for a while.

As for the sail-powered ship, although no one has ever driven it, it is recorded in ancient books and has been studied before. You can roughly understand the principle at a glance.

But,

There are also seventy or eighty wooden ships of various shapes, two-masted and three-masted.

When Su Lun heard this, he thought of the memories he had stripped away before, and decisively said in the communicator: "Everyone grab the 'Chengfeng' and the Black Sail, that is the fastest ship in the pirate fleet. !"
