Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 25: A chess game that has been planned for thousands of years

PS. First draft, please wait

This problem has actually been bothering Su Lun.

Why did the Isaacs choose to burn their most precious little daughter to death?

Salea was not surprised at all when she heard that Su Lun would ask this question.

"She must be very sad after a thousand years."

She sighed slightly and said, "Because only resentment can keep her soul from dissipating."

When Su Lun heard this, he suddenly woke up.

One of the prerequisites for forming a ghost or a wraith is to have some kind of strong obsession.

As soon as he heard the beginning, he guessed why the Isaacs did this a thousand years ago.

They want to save Pestoya's soul.

But why?

Seraya's emotions became very complicated. Tenderness, love, guilt, sighs, and expectations were all reflected in her twinkling eyes.

She told the secret that had been buried in the dust of history, "Although the god-level fallen angel was defeated, Isaac also paid a very heavy price. A large number of abyssal creatures invaded. We Dawn City also suffered heavy losses. He also attempted to completely destroy the space seal and allow the abyss plane to invade. At the beginning, we did not think of a way to kill him. In order to prevent him from wreaking havoc after recovery, we chose to put the divine body Separate the limbs, body, head, heart, and wings and seal them all over Dawn City. In this way, his divine power will not be concentrated in one place, and the threat will be greatly reduced."

As Su Lun listened, he realized that this was how the [Fallen Angel Heart] he got came from.

Then what is sealed in the white monastery is also one of the body parts of God

At this time, Seria continued: "From the surface, the reason why gods are gods is because they understand the laws of high levels. But for us alchemists, we need to see clearly through performance The essence of things. The laws are illusory and cannot be touched, but the body of God is real. And we have guarded this space passage for many years, and we have also discovered that the creatures in the abyss have very powerful bodies, and we have also studied some laws, so ”

After hearing this, Su Lun finally knew what Sir Isaac was doing when he captured a god-level creature.

They "sliced ​​and studied" this god-level creature.

Alchemists are scientists in this world, including the biological field, mechanical field, as well as mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering and other fields.

A thousand years ago, the group of great alchemists headed by Isaac were the top scientists in these fields. Their research in biological sciences has reached a level that even a time traveler like Su Lun can't believe.

Probably because Su Lun is her disciple, Serea said in detail, "Although we have gained some knowledge describing the divine body from ancient books, this is the first time we have truly come into contact with the living body. After studying the blood and other body tissues of this fallen angel, it was discovered at the microscopic level that God's gene chain is much higher than that of humans. He has forty. And Isaac, the strongest alchemist in the world, only has thirty-five. . Ordinary human beings who are not professionals have only twenty-three"

When Su Lun heard this, he no longer knew how to describe it.

It turns out that the ancient alchemists a thousand years ago had already studied the genetic level so thoroughly.

He didn't know whether it was because Old Lingdun was a mine, which led to the abnormal development of some imitations, or whether the level of the outside world had not reached the level a thousand years ago. But in the knowledge he came into contact with, there was indeed no mention of the term "gene chain".

However, Seria did not continue to talk about the research problem, but turned back to the previous topic, "But during this research process, some accidents happened. Although we sealed the body of the fallen angel, but But he didn't expect that his soul actually escaped during a research accident. Then, he possessed Pestoya's body."

Hearing this, it seems that a crucial piece of the puzzle has been completed.

All the clues in Su Lun's mind were automatically connected, and he immediately understood the truth behind Pestoya's burning to death.

Speaking of this, Ceria stopped, seeming to recall a memory that she did not want to recall.

After pondering for a moment, he then said: "The fallen angel is very cunning and knows that his soul will be destroyed no matter where it escapes. So he chose Pestoya. By the time we found out, he had already It is completely entangled with Pestoya’s soul. If we kill him, we will definitely kill Pestoya. But if we don’t deal with it in time, he will bring devastating disaster to our plane."

She did not continue what she said, but Su Lun understood it.

So, they chose to burn Pestoya to death.

After hearing this story, Su Lun also vaguely understood what the secret was that looked like "???" on the butterfly brooch.

80% of it is the soul of the fallen angel!

Su Lun knew that things might not be that simple.

If you want to destroy, then you will never leave a soul.

Seria said: "I lost some memories and don't know what happened next. But you appeared, which means Isaac's plan was successful."

Su Lun listened quietly. For a strong man like Isaac who has mastered [destiny], his methods will never be that simple.

He asked: "Teacher, do you keep Pestoya's soul to resurrect her?"

Seria: "Yes. No parent in the world would be willing to watch their child be burned alive, but because of her enough resentment, they did not tell her the truth. We arranged another one in Storm Manor Some methods were used to preserve her soul. But compared to a god, the human soul is too weak. The fallen angel has the ability to easily obliterate Pestoya's soul. Therefore, this plan will last at least a thousand years. Wait until Pestoya Only when the soul is strong enough and the two are completely inseparable can we take action."

Here she is talking nonsense, her face shows the cruelty of a mother who harms her children's enemies, "Humph, the so-called gods can only do these despicable tricks in order to survive."

After hearing this, Su Lun fully understood what had happened.

Things are not as simple as they seem.

It’s a big game of chess.

A chess game that has been planned for thousands of years!

At the same time, an idea came to his mind.

No wonder, on the title page of [Isaac's Alchemy Manuscript] there is a sentence that sounds slightly emotional: God is just a higher-level material.

It turns out there is this layer of hatred inside.

And contempt!

A master of destiny, showing contempt for the powerful gods!

After hearing this explanation, Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, I can give Pestoya an answer next time I meet her.

Otherwise, I would still feel guilty if I always deceive other girls but fail to do so.

Su Lun asked again: "Teacher, everything Mr. Jing is doing now is for the soul of that god?"

Thinking about it this way, the purpose of Mr. Jing, who has lived for a thousand years, becomes clear.

Serea said: "Yes, but it's more than that. She survived firstly for the **** in Pestoya's soul, and secondly for the inheritance of Dawn City. After all, the disaster was over once you appeared. If it happens, Dawn City will definitely be destroyed."

Su Lun has also been curious about what problem led to the destruction of Auroville and Old Town.

He asked directly: "Teacher, what exactly was that disaster?"

"My memory is incomplete."

Seria shook her head and said she didn't know, "I don't have Isaac's destiny talent, so I can't deduce what will happen in the future. But there is a high probability that there is something wrong with the abyss seal. According to what you are saying now, The plane hasn't fallen yet, so Isaac must have prevented the disaster from getting worse. After all, the purpose of building the 'Black Tower' is as a last resort when things get out of control."

The Black Tower actually has this effect?

Su Lun was thoughtful as he listened.

Suddenly, he thought of the strong man who could hunt gods and asked, "What about Master?"

"He?"

Speaking of her husband, Ceria showed a gentle smile again on her face, and said: "Isaac once said that the laws of this plane are flawed. If you want to break through to the divine level, you have to go to the laws. A more perfect plane. I think he probably went to the 'abyss'"

After a pause, his eyes were full of love, and he added: "He only has a dream, and he wants to be like the great alchemists of the Dawn Era, traveling to various planes and exploring the ultimate secrets of alchemy. ”

Su Lun understood the truth of what happened back then, and all the doubts in his heart were almost solved.

The atmosphere of communication has also become very relaxed.

At this time, Su Lun looked at the classics on the bookshelf in the room and asked, "Teacher, can I take these classics away?"

He had been coveting these things here before, and this alchemy knowledge was truly priceless.

But he didn’t dare to act rashly.

The plot in Cursed Space seems to be an infinite loop.

But the reality is that when something is taken away, part of the energy will be missing.

A few books may not have much impact, or they may be like the "butterfly effect" and change the entire plot of Cursed Space.

Su Lun had previously surrounded and killed the two major families and "Forensic Doctor" Servis Gerald. In order to keep the plot consistent, he did not take away anything more than necessary.

Now I have no worries.

Seria also responded happily: "Of course, the teacher doesn't have time to teach you. You have to study these classics on your own."

As she spoke, she pointed to the bookshelf and said: "The first two rows are the basic knowledge of alchemy, the third row is the knowledge of runes, and the top one, by the way! I almost forgot, I still have to accept you as my disciple. Carry forward the legacy of my 'Puppet Master' lineage"

She heard something, and the eight-armed spider spear took off the top few volumes of notes.

When I opened it, I saw it was a puppet alchemy manuscript.

These ancient books in Cursed Space must have been read and remembered by her, the Master of Resentment, before they would appear.

Su Lun was a little worried that the content would be missing before, but when he picked up a book, it was densely packed with text.

Although it is a manuscript, the handwriting is very beautiful, like printing, and even the draft design has the feeling of a perfect work of art.

Seraya's face showed the kind of kindness that a teacher looks at his disciples, and there was also a bit of sadness in his tone, "As a teacher, I don't have much time to teach you. Once the heart is successfully refined, the energy in this cursed space will be exhausted. , I will also disappear."

Su Lun looked slightly different and listened carefully.

Seria turned to the last few pages of the note and introduced: "This [Alchemy Golem Notes] is the summary of my lifelong study of puppetry. It is also the design concept of the most perfect puppet in my mind. I want to create a It is an alchemical creature with invincible defense, but it can also possess some intelligence."

Su Lun looked at the refining blueprint named [Gargoyle] with slightly complicated eyes.

The founder of the Puppet Master actually wants to create an "alchemy creature" that does not require silk control at all and has a certain consciousness of its own!

However, the technical level of this thing is too high-end, and Su Lun can't understand it now.

What surprised him even more was his learning efficiency.

In the past, he always needed to suppress other emotions in his heart.

It's like watching a football game while thinking about tomorrow's exam questions.

I'm used to it and don't notice any difference.

After taking it off, I realized how great the pressure was.

Now, after those negative emotions were completely released and impacted his brain development, they were restrained by the secret method of mental power. He no longer had to worry about it, and it seemed that the whole world was clear.

Relieved.

At this moment, Su Lun also realized the benefits of the 5% increase in brain development.

The true meaning of one eye and ten lines.

It does not mean that you can read quickly, but that your brain can process the content quickly and at the same time.

It's like upgrading the processor of a computer. The response speed and the amount of information processed are doubled.

There is no need to go line by line like before

However,

Although the brain can process more information,

But looking at these high-end alchemy knowledge, Su Lun still felt numb.

He could foresee that these volumes of notes would be something he would study and study for many years to come.

Celeiya saw Su Lun’s slightly frowned brows, smiled, and said: “The purpose of giving you these books is not to ask you to walk my path exactly the same. The real puppet master It’s not about learning how many puppets to make, but about truly understanding why you do it. This is also the essence of alchemy.”

She added: "Study Isaac's manuscript carefully. The content from the shallower to the deeper is not just to teach you how to refine the alchemical equipment of [Isaac's Alchemical Heart]. It is. A way of looking at the essence through phenomena. Only by fully understanding the structure of all things can we truly understand the supreme law of alchemy, 'equivalent exchange', and we will go further in the future. Only then will you have the opportunity to get in touch with the real top."

"I have told you a lot, and some of it was also told to me by Isaac, which is the true concept leading to the divine level. Although I am still understanding it, I also give it to you, my disciple"

Probably because she felt there was not much time left, Ceria talked a lot.

But there were very few technical aspects. It was more about instilling in Su Lun some top concepts that can only be seen in the eyes of many top alchemists.

Su Lun also discovered his own misunderstandings, or that he had gone astray.

He used to be very concerned about how many spells, types of puppets, and skills he mastered, how much his combat power would be enhanced

But this is only superficial, complex but not refined.

It may be very strong in the field of low-level professionals, but in the field of high-level warlocks, "understanding" is where real masters and ordinary people decompose.

Just like when Seria saw him using his space ability before, she said that it was easily broken by high-level warlocks.

That's what it means.

In the eyes of a warlock at her level, the essence of "equivalent exchange" is the understanding of everything in the world.

Everything else is just a stepping stone to understanding this principle.

Sure enough, as Ceria said before, alchemists must be knowledgeable.

Su Lun also suddenly understood Mr. Hei’s realm.

It is almost impossible for ordinary people to master multiple elemental techniques at the same time.

But if you truly understand it, you will be truly "mixed and refined".

Su Lun benefited a lot from hearing Seria's words, and his heart was shocked for a long time.

Like a ship sailing in the vast sea of ​​​​dark night, someone lit a lighthouse for him, and the road ahead was no longer a pitch black that he had to explore by himself.

This will save him from taking too many detours and entering into many misunderstandings.

If you move towards the direction of "understanding of all things" and "equivalent exchange", you can reach a very high height.

The height of becoming a god.
