Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 243: The person following
Su Lun spent most of the night tinkering with her silk threads and dolls, and produced quite a few finished products.
As daybreak approached, I felt a little curled up, so I sat cross-legged on the carpet and began to meditate.
He needs the necessary rest to regain his energy.
The practice of meditation requires endurance of loneliness and often requires strong perseverance. But once you get used to it, your practice efficiency will become higher and higher, and the time you need to sleep will become shorter and shorter. High-efficiency meditation has the effect of deep sleep, which can better restore the body and increase the "energy" in the body.
Su Lun has now advanced to the third level, and the upper limit of the dark spiritual power that his body can withstand has been expanded again... [Isaac's Alchemical Heart] can provide him with endless dark spiritual power, and the progress of extraordinary cultivation is steady and steady. Fast.
Blizzard City is full of snow and wind all year round, and it can be very cold at night.
There will be fewer and fewer people on the street as the night goes on.
As dawn approaches and the sun rises, the temperature will reach tens of degrees below zero, and any skin exposed to the air will feel as raw as being rubbed by a rough whetstone. Even professionals would not want to wander outside in such low temperatures.
Because of this, Su Lun discovered something strange.
"Have you been targeted?"
During meditation, he suddenly opened his eyes.
He was not sure before, but after observing for such a long time, he was finally sure that someone was indeed following him.
And there is more than one.
In room 307 on the same floor, there was a guy leaning against the crack of the door and watching for half the night; there was a guy shivering with cold in the alley at the gate downstairs; there was also one in the warehouse behind.
No one is bored enough to hang out outside on such a cold night.
The three stalkers were very cautious, and they looked like trained professional espionage personnel.
Two second-order and one third-order.
The hiding places were all in the blind spots of the field of vision that could not be observed in Su Lun's room, and they did not create any movement that might be discovered.
If Su Lun didn't have the ability to perceive souls, he really wouldn't be able to detect it.
But now, the range of his soul perception is not too wide, but it just covers the "Owl Hotel" and the small half block downstairs. He can't hide every move of the person being followed.
Su Lun also suspected that he might be a member of the previous "Red Shark Pirate Group", or that he might have been spotted buying things on the black market.
But obviously, no.
He was very sure that he had never seen these three "soul fires" before, but they only appeared after he bought Yuta.
And he has received professional training, which means that he is most likely a person from a powerful force.
In other words, there is a high probability that he is not his enemy.
"Are you here for Jutta?"
Su Lun frowned and had some doubts in his heart.
In the eyes of humans, Yuta is just a slave of a foreign race, and no one should bother to stare at her.
Even if he has a grudge, he will take action immediately.
But looking at the stalking posture, the other party seemed to have no intention of taking action, but simply stared.
It seems that he just wants to grasp Yuta's movements.
"Strange"
Su Lun's thoughts were racing, thinking about various possibilities.
Due to the lack of some necessary information, he was unable to determine the purpose of those people.
Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and glanced at the white-haired girl sleeping soundly on the bed, planning to ask her when she woke up.
At this time, the injury was probably almost recovered, and the nutrient solution and medicine injected vitality into her body. Feeling the gaze, Yuta opened his eyes suddenly!
The Daru are children of nature, they have beast-like intuition.
Jutta seemed to wake up from a nightmare.
At this moment of awakening, her eyes shone with wolf-like caution and keenness. Turning over, he changed into an attacking posture on all fours, his hands and feet turned into wolf claws, and his nails shone with cold light. In a blink of an eye, he entered a fighting state.
But before she fully transformed into a beast, she met Su Lun's eyes.
The wariness in Yuta's eyes dissipated instantly, and the half-animal body quickly returned to its human form.
"Are you awake?"
Su Lun took off the clown mask and revealed his face, "Don't do too much exercise, the sutured wounds haven't fully recovered yet."
He warned and then said: "There are clothes beside the bed, you can put them on first."
When Yuta heard this, he realized that he was still naked.
Under the warm light, the skin is as smooth and shiny as warm jade, and the body lines look extremely natural and full of wild beauty.
The Daru people believe in the goddess of nature, and many of their thoughts and ideas are different from those of humans. There is not much of a coy look on her face.
She didn't know what happened after she fell into coma, but the previous memories also flooded into her mind. Looking at the stitching marks on her hands and feet, she also understood that the man in front of her had saved her and healed her injuries.
As a druid, she is good at healing. When she was treated by human medical skills for the first time, Yuta muttered instinctively in her heart: What a strange suture medical skill
The stitching is more precise than expected.
In a blink of an eye, she looked at the dress Su Lun had prepared for her and frowned slightly.
Having been accustomed to being wrapped in animal skins, she obviously didn’t know where to start with such complicated textiles.
Su Lun also saw Yuta's predicament and gave her some advice before she put it on.
The fluffy skirt can just cover the soft silver tail. Putting on a hat, the pair of plush animal ears can also be concealed.
Looks almost like a human being.
While Yuta was getting dressed, Su Lun also said straight to the point: "Elder Yuta, I have said before that I need your help. Also, if possible, I would like to see the current leader of the noble family. The patriarch, the descendant of the Isaac family asked me to bring you a few words about the oath made back then."
Druids in the Daru tribe are somewhat tribal priests, and there is nothing wrong with calling them elders.
"Oath?! Do you humans still remember the oath?"
Hearing this, Yuta's blue crystal eyes trembled slightly, obviously not calm.
She looked at Su Lun and asked: "Mr. Su Lun. Are you the heir of Sir Isaac?"
She seemed to have difficulty pronouncing the word "sir", but in the human lingua franca she learned, it seemed to be an honorific, so she used it.
Su Lun nodded: "Yes. But there is someone else who asked me to take the message."
He is Seria's disciple, and naturally he can be considered Isaac's descendant.
However, the fact that Mr. Mirror is Sir Isaac's biological daughter cannot be revealed at will. He plans to meet the current leader of the Daru tribe in person and tell him what his senior sister entrusted him with.
Hearing this, Yuta pondered for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something, and did not respond directly.
In a blink of an eye, she looked at Su Lun and asked, "You said you need my help?"
"Yes."
Su Lun saw the caution in her expression and didn't mind.
The current relationship between humans and the Daru tribe is not a good one. Even if he saved her, it was reasonable for the other party to be cautious.
He said: "My mental power is distorted. I heard that the Druids of the Daru tribe are good at healing and may be able to solve this problem. So, I want to ask."
This was probably his first time interacting with humans, so Yuta seemed a little cautious.
After listening to Su Lun's words, she hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Can I take a look first?"
Su Lun: "How do you want to see it?"
Jutta: "I need to hold your hand."
Su Lun handed over his hand willfully.
Just like a Chinese medicine doctor taking a pulse, Yuta held Su Lun's hand, and then watched a ball of green light emerge from her hand.
Su Lun didn't feel anything special about his body, but he also felt as if a will rushed into the sea of consciousness, wanting to spy on the "beast" he imprisoned in the cage.
However, it doesn't seem to be going well.
Perhaps sensing the violent negative emotions, as if a sea of blood rushed down, Yuta was instantly frightened, and his hands shrank back as if he was electrocuted.
She has never seen such a terrifying will.
Youta's face suddenly became very solemn, and he looked at Su Lun with a strange look, "You are in a very dangerous situation!"
"Yeah."
Su Lun nodded, showed a kind smile towards her, and said: "I know my situation. That's why I want to ask if there is a way to solve it."
"Sorry, I can't solve it"
There was a hint of guilt on Yuta's pretty face.
Originally, she thought that the human in front of her saved her, and she could repay him with her expertise in healing.
The Daru people will not owe their saviors any debt.
But she didn't expect it to be so difficult. This was a problem she had never seen before.
Su Lun was not surprised.
Mr. Mirror said that it would take a seventh-level Archdruid to solve the problem. It is natural that Yuta cannot solve it.
He was about to say it didn't matter, but he heard Yuta say again: "In this case, only the great druid of the tribe may be able to do something about it"
Su Lun asked curiously: "Is there an Archdruid in the clan now?"
Jutta responded: "Yes. The patriarch and several elders are the Archdruids."
Su Lun found it a bit unbelievable. If the Daru tribe really had seventh-level masters, their tribe would not be in this situation.
What did he think of, and he asked in a slightly weird tone: "Excuse me, what level is the great elder of the noble family now?"
Jutta responded: "Level 5."
Although she didn’t understand why Su Lun asked this question, she seemed to catch the doubt in her tone and explained instinctively: “Hundreds of years ago, our Daru tribe had a great war with the deep-sea giants. .Also leads to"
At this point, she suddenly stopped.
She seemed to realize that some of her words involved the clan's secrets, and she didn't know whether she should talk about it or not. Her trembling eyes showed her inner struggle.
After hesitating for a moment, Yuta could only change his words and said: "I can take Mr. Su Lun to the Holy Lake and meet the patriarch, and you will understand."
"Yeah."
Su Lun raised his eyebrows slightly and showed a kind smile.
Although the two of them didn't chat for a few words, he could tell that the Daru people were simple-minded and didn't have the roundabout and intrigues of humans.
So when it comes to sensitive topics, Juta's expression will turn very stiffly, allowing people to tell what she is thinking at a glance.
Su Lun didn't mind either.
It was just in line with his wishes to go there to gain knowledge and see if he could solve the problem of his mental distortion. He also sent a message to his senior sister by the way.
Furthermore, he once again received information from the "Smuggling Gang" before, and there is indeed a "Nightmare Spider" group in the Silent Forest that is one of the target candidates for the main materials he needs to colonize.
The lord monster is not easy to find. As the owners of that forest, the Daru tribe wants to know more.
At this time, when Su Lun wanted to ask for information and clues, Yuta seemed to have thought of something and looked embarrassed: "Only our Daru tribe masters can reach the Holy Lake. But I may not be able to take you there myself. I must find a way to rescue my people as soon as possible, otherwise they will be sent away by slave traders."
"Save people?"
Su Lun was not surprised to hear this.
I heard from the slave merchant that she was caught before because she came to Blizzard City to save her people.
But after hearing this, some thoughts suddenly flashed through Su Lun's mind, and he thought of the three people who were watching outside at the moment.
"Yeah, right!"
Frowning and thinking for a moment, Jutta thought of a compromise plan.
She pulled off a piece of sheet with a "tearing" sound, her fingers condensed a ball of light, and then wrote some Daru text on it, handed it to Su Lun, and said: "You can go to the west of the forest' Eagle's Mouth Pass', there are patrols by my people there. When they see my token, they will take you to the Holy Lake."
As she spoke, she also drew a simple map of how to get to the pass on the back of the sheet.
Su Lun looked at the token and saw that Yuta had no intention of helping him at all, but planned to save people by himself.
Thinking about it, he was not in a hurry to express his position and asked: "Elder Yuta, have you noticed that someone is staring at you?"
Youta listened with a confused look on his face, obviously not knowing anything about it, and asked puzzledly: "Mr. Su Lun, what do you mean?"
Su Lun said: "I found that there are several people watching near this hotel. As expected, they are watching you."
Jutta is still full of doubts.
Obviously, neither of them figured out the purpose of those people.
Maybe Yuta has some treasure on him?
No, even the treasures were taken away when they were caught.
Then why are you staring at her?
After thinking hard to no avail, Su Lun thought about it and said: "There may be something weird about this matter. In this case, don't rush to take action. I'll go find out the news first. It may take several days for your tribe to go to sea. Find out. In the case of escorting, the success rate is higher if we do it at sea than in the city."
Not to mention that he has little money now and cannot buy those demi-human slaves.
Even if you have money, if you buy it in this situation, something may happen.
He wanted to figure out the situation first.
If he can really be of some help then, he wouldn't mind becoming a pirate.
Juta listened to Su Lun's plan, which sounded much more reliable than him rushing to save people alone.
Although she felt a little guilty about asking humans to help, she thought about her people and nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Su Lun, for causing you trouble."
Su Lun smiled and shook his head.
At this time, he took out a mechanical communicator, handed it to Yuta, and said: "This is the communicator. The method of use is very simple. Let's give a few passwords. First, I have to confirm, who are those people?" Are we really staring at you?"
Juta looked serious as he listened to Su Lun's plan.
Not long after, a figure smashed the window of Room 303 of the Owl Hotel and jumped out. "Crash", a crisp sound of glass broke the silent dawn.
Jutta jumped down the stairs and quickly ran into the alley.
Awkward, hurried, panicked, like a runaway slave.
This movement also instantly attracted the attention of nearby stalkers.
In the room, Su Lun felt the two groups of soul fire on the street and quickly chased after her, murmuring: "They are really going for her. Those guys should have some means to track Yuta. "Whereabouts"
He thought of something and threw a corpse in the room that was used as living corpse material, causing some scars from being scratched by wolf claws.
Then a fire was set and the body was burned.
Using space teleportation again, he moved to another open room in the hotel.
This movement immediately made the hotel lively. The fire in the room was put out before it spread, but the body was charred.
Room 303 became the scene of a murder where a slave killed his master and escaped.
Seeing the body, the man who was watching in Room 307 of the hotel also left.
Su Lun mingled with the crowd of spectators and observed for a while, and then left after finding nothing unusual.
He was 100% sure that the person he was following was heading for Juta.
As a druid, Jutta is not weak in strength.
Especially in the snow, she has many stealth methods, so there is no need to worry.
Su Lun waited for a while, but did not hear the sound of fighting. He was also sure that those people just wanted to stare at her and had no intention of taking action.
He paid no more attention and went back to his room to rest for a while.
At dawn, Su Lun left the hotel.
He has not forgotten that there is a guy who is still undergoing "wind torture".
In the central square of the city, there is a huge white stone statue, which was carved by the residents of the city to commemorate Blizzard's first city owner.
On the edge of the square is the headquarters of the City Public Security Department. There are more than ten crosses at the entrance of the spire building. There were people tied to the crosses, both men and women, all naked.
This is a guy who violated the city's laws and was beaten to death by the security team.
Some have turned into popsicles, and some are still breathing.
The cold wind blew all night, and the naked Jike was also confused. He was not dead?
He knows the rules of Blizzard City very well.
He was not dead, which meant that someone paid the security deposit for him, so that the guards would apply antifreeze cream on him and turn on hot water for the heating pipe of the cross.
But even so, Jike only had half his life left.
The sun came out and the sunlight shone on him, which made him feel that he was still alive.
While he was in a trance, he suddenly heard a sound in his ear: "Boy, your punishment is over. Remember next time, don't do it again!"
Someone untied the ropes and Jike collapsed. Some of the skin stuck to the places where the heating pipes did not touch, and some of the skin was torn off. It was scarlet and scary, but not much blood came out.
Then he felt someone put a thick cloak on him.
The moment he closed it, Jike felt a strong warmth.
The slave opened his eyes and saw a figure wearing a black cloak. The man wore a mask and said, "Let's go. I'll move to another place to treat your wounds."
Jike felt that the voice was very familiar, but after the cold wind blew all night, he felt that his brain was frozen.
After waiting for a long time, he finally came to his senses and felt unexpectedly happy: "Mr. Nicholas?"
