Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 371: The pirate ship returning from treasure hunting
Not long after, deafening cheers rang out.
The arena was in a mess. The lord-level [Hell Mouth] monster was blasted by heavy punches, the rotten flesh was shattered on the ground, and green corrosive blood splashed everywhere on the yellow sand.
Kay's whole body was filled with fiery red steam, and he stood in front of the monster's body with an evil spirit.
One party died, and a **** gladiatorial match came to an end.
Su Lun and Qian Jiao walked quietly to the entry channel amidst the roar of cheers from the audience.
Because they had made arrangements with local cowards in advance, Su Lun and the others pretended to be enthusiastic Gladiator fans and successfully met with Kai. Everyone is a member of the Mirror Organization, and Kai has absolute trust in both of them.
As planned, during the brief meeting, Su Lun used the spiritual crystal made by Pandora with divine power to give Kai a spiritual hint. With such heavy means, at least there is no need to worry about him being completely mentally enslaved.
The difficulty now is that Su Lun also received some bad news. The key to unlocking the [Mechanical Slave Collar] is carried by "Frost Moon Princess" Skadi.
To get the key, it means that they have to find an opportunity to contact Princess Marfa.
This is a big problem.
No one can get past the Marfa Royal Guards and get close to the princess
A few days later.
After replenishing sufficient navigation supplies, most of the members of the Dawn Regiment have left the city-state of Moros and stayed on board the Dawn. The sea-going ships did not dock, but drifted near the sea to wait for orders.
Because the city has not been peaceful recently.
Su Lun has collected some information in the past few days, and feels more and more like a storm is coming.
Oniss Popov, the second son of King of the North Sea Oleg, who is rumored to be having an affair with the "Frost Moon Princess", is a mixture of Vikings and Romans.
The reason why the North Sea Kingdom was able to make Roman its subject country so quickly is directly related to this guy.
His mother is very mysterious, no one knows who she is.
But there is definite information that Oleg came to the Roman Kingdom and conquered the Moros city-state with powerful force. He even visited the "Agaparnon Temple" which the Romans regarded as a holy place.
Not long after that, Onis Popov was born.
That was an outstanding heir blessed with "courage" by the God of War at birth. (Domineering)
Some people suspect that his mother may be a respected priest in the temple.
For this rumor, Su Lun also deliberately went to Onis Popov, whom he had met by chance. Handsome and handsome, he has the strong physique of the Romans and the bravery of the Vikings.
Oleg is very strict with his children, and the useless waste will only be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks. This guy is also very competitive. He has won dozens of consecutive victories in the arena and has considerable strength.
But this guy is also lustful, arrogant, proud, and acts unscrupulously.
My favorite thing to do when going to sea to rob is to rob beautiful women. Recently, the "Princess Frost Moon" was his biological brother and sister, but she was also not taboo.
However, Su Lun was not interested in this guy's personal affairs.
He cares more about other details.
Oleg looks rugged. Genetically speaking, for that guy to have such a handsome body, his mother must be very beautiful.
The most beautiful women in Roman are all in the temple.
Therefore, the rumors are most likely true. Onis's mother may be a temple priest.
And that's the trouble.
The priests of the Agapanaon Temple have strong "prophetic abilities"!
The temple can always predict droughts, tsunamis, snowstorms, and insect pests in advance and guide the Romans in the right direction.
Su Lun also had to guard against it.
They killed several divisions of the North Sea Fleet. Although the price of prophecy was high, there was no guarantee that anyone would find any clues.
Be careful
Qianjiao and the others were all on the ship. Su Lun stayed in the city to collect information because of his ability to save his life.
He wants to find a chance to get the key from Princess Skati, and is also waiting for news about Marfa’s shipment and the submarine
But after waiting for several days, no opportunity was found.
On this day, Rainbow Tavern.
In the evening, Su Lun would sit in the tavern for a while as usual.
This is the busiest tavern in the Moros city-state, and it is also the favorite place for news merchants to gather.
The tavern was bustling with people, with all kinds of drunken drinkers, adventurers, and pirates forming tables in groups, bragging loudly at the top of their lungs. Girls in explosive clothes roamed around the pub, and there were blood-soaking dance performances on the stage.
Su Lun was sitting in the corner, drinking slowly with a large jug of wine, listening to the news brought by those guys from all over the world.
Why has the battle situation between Luying and Mafa changed again
The housekeeper of a certain noble nobleman eloped with his sister-in-law
A certain pirate group was sunk by the navy again
Another underwater shipwreck was discovered somewhere
Wait.
Pubs are the fastest channel for news to spread.
While drinking, Su Lun glanced at a special communicator on his waist from time to time, and murmured in a voice that he could only hear: "Barrett actually turned off the communicator. It seems that he is preparing to Let’s take action.”
The communicator given by Barrett has completely lost its signal response.
It's one thing not to want to upset others. On the other hand, there was a high probability that he would take action, so all possible means of leaking his whereabouts were cut off.
Su Lun had just obtained some information and wanted to tell Barrett.
But thinking about it, it doesn’t matter if I notify you or not.
Knowing that it is a trap, they will definitely save people no matter what.
Just look at the most recent day to do it.
The night is getting darker and the streets outside are getting deserted, but the pub is getting more and more lively.
Probably because the news of "Alcatraz Island" has spread recently, more and more adventurers and pirate groups have been attracted from all directions. There were also many outsiders in the tavern who were looking for news.
The news that there are countless ancient treasures on that island has spread, and all kinds of gossip are flying around, most of which are unfounded hearsay.
Those guys who wanted to get rich overnight have already set off towards the dangerous foggy sea area.
But I haven’t heard of anyone successfully returning from treasure hunting.
Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at everything in the tavern.
Not long after, the wine was almost gone.
Su Lun thought that he would not get any useful information tonight, so he just wanted to leave.
Suddenly, an emotional news dealer rushed into the tavern.
"Breaking news!"
"Breaking news!"
The man ran out of breath and slapped his hand at the bar, "Bring me a drink quickly, I'm going to die of thirst."
This is a local snake in the city, and Su Lun happens to know him.
The bartender served him a glass of wine and teased: "Hey, Mars, are you so anxious because your mother-in-law ran away with someone?"
The guy took a sip, and then shouted excitedly: "Oh, no! Go and see, the people of the 'Flying Fish Pirates' have arrived at the port!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone laughed and said: "What's the 'Flying Fish Group'? Isn't it just a third-rate little pirate group? It's worth making a fuss about?"
"It's Alcatraz! Alcatraz!"
Mars said this several times excitedly, and then said: "They just came back from 'Alcatraz', and they brought a whole shipload of treasures on board! Oh, my God, the gold almost sank the warship. , the treasures unloaded on the dock piled up in mountains. Some antique dealers made a rough estimate. They will make at least tens of billions from this trip, tens of billions! Or even more! And I heard that they are planning to sell the safe route of this voyage. Picture!!!"
"this"
At this point, the mute button seemed to be pressed in the tavern, and everyone seemed to be shocked by the news.
Mars spoke very quickly and reported the report: "Oh, my God, those guys from the 'Sailor Gang' wanted to keep this news to themselves. They had been suppressing it just now and it didn't come out. It took a lot of effort for me to find out. ”
As if I heard what he said clearly now, the whole tavern seemed to be detonated by a powder keg, and it boiled instantly.
"What! Someone came back alive from Alcatraz Island?"
"Did you bring back any treasures?"
“I have also met the leader of the Flying Fish Group, "Smoking Gun" Lauryn! Oh, damn, their group is almost broke and they don’t even have the money to buy a new anchor chain. They said they were going to take a chance, but they didn’t expect to actually find the treasure? ”
""
If "King of Fighting" Barron Opatra could come back alive last time, it was due to strength and luck.
Then this "flying fish ball" can catch the treasure and come back, which is definitely exciting.
This "Flying Fish Group" is not very strong, and its leader is only at the fourth level.
They can all come back alive, and a thought pops up in other people's minds at the same time, why can't they?
When it comes to treasure hunting, you have to do it early.
If you are really overtaken by others, those who arrive late will not be able to drink the soup.
As soon as the news came out, the drinkers in the tavern instantly woke up.
I don’t know who shouted “Go!”, and everyone rushed out.
Mars looked anxiously and took off his hat, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Hey, guys, my intelligence fee!"
The people who got the news were not stingy either. Each person lost a few silver coins. In the blink of an eye, this guy's hat was filled with a heavy bag.
After the crowd dispersed, Su Lun threw a silver coin into the intelligence merchant's hat with a flick of his finger, and then walked out of the tavern in a hurry.
"Someone actually came back alive from Alcatraz Island"
As he walked, he murmured something.
The eyes did not have the enthusiasm of those before, but there was also a strong expectation.
After all, there is a top-level puppet energy core [Heart of Four Color Elements] on Alcatraz Island.
The situation was unknown before. Those who went to explore Alcatraz Island were either fanatical adventurers or poor pirates who were too poor to risk their lives.
Even if Su Lun is greedy, he will not joke with his own life.
But now a small group actually came out alive?
Su Lun thought, and quickly went to the dock outside the city, wanting to find out
This information seemed to have wings and spread throughout the Moros city-state in an instant.
It was nearly midnight, but the pier outside the city was brightly lit.
The pier was crowded with people, probably hundreds of thousands of people.
When Su Lun went there, the streets out of the city were already crowded with people, and it was impossible to get to the dock. He could only imitate those other people and climb up the cliff. I found a high place and looked at the dock from a distance.
Fortunately, his eyesight is very good and he can see clearly.
At this moment, a shabby-looking pirate ship is moored at Ordinary Pier No. 7.
But at this moment, the pirate ship is attracting all the attention.
Not many people in the Flying Fish Group survived, but the crew members all had ecstasy on their faces. They were carrying basket after basket of treasures from the ship.
Gold and silver utensils, gems, agates, crystals, antiques, under the magic core light, these treasures are bright and charming.
Captain "Smoker" Laurian is surrounded by a group of professional businessmen, discussing the selling price of those treasures.
At this moment, his face was radiant and rosy.
As time goes by, more and more people come out of the city to see Re Lao.
Even the cliff where Su Lun was staying was crowded with people.
Looking at so many treasures, Su Lun could still remain calm, but the eyes of those who were eating melons were glowing green, and their voices were sour, as if they had taken a sip of lemon juice.
"My dear, the Flying Fish Group has made a fortune this time. These gains are enough to save every member of their group from having to worry about it for several lifetimes. I'm so **** envious!"
"Hey, why didn't I think of going with them! Not long ago, their group was recruiting sailors in the tavern. I saw that their ship was too old and I didn't go. Who would have thought of missing it?"
"Stop complaining and see if you can get a chart later. I heard that the Flying Fish Group seems to have found a safe route. At least our ordinary group can pass it. Hey, don't mention getting so many As long as you catch a tenth of the treasure, it will be enough for your lifetime."
"That's right! I heard that the Flying Fish Group had not landed on Alcatraz Island, but found so many treasures on a nearby island. The boat couldn't hold it anymore, so they came back. I heard that such treasures Island, there are many more in that sea area"
"If I can really buy a chart, I'll set off tonight!"
""
Suddenly someone became rich suddenly, and the power of this example made people feel excited.
Even Su Lun is considering whether to go to the "Alcatraz Island" if he can really get a chart. ,
The strength of their Dawn Group is much stronger than that of ordinary pirate groups, and the probability of seizing the treasure is very high.
But his intuition told him that there seemed to be something wrong with this matter
Su Lun held a monocular and carefully looked at the treasures transported from the ship, as well as the crew and damage to the ship.
There are traces of corrosion from sea water on the metal objects, and there are also traces of animal blood from battles on the ships
No matter how you look at it, this is a pirate group that has just returned from an adventure in dangerous seas.
Furthermore, because of the Eye of Omniscient, the treasures Su Lun can see are indeed ancient relics.
Not only gold jewelry, but also some cursed objects, extraordinary artifacts, and magic artifacts with special effects.
[Pharaoh’s Golden Scarab], [Gilderoy’s Spear of Courage], [Black Mage’s Golden Tea Cup], [Tidal Wave Pearl]
There are all kinds of things, although most of them are broken.
But Su Lun also discovered a problem.
That means these things are not from the same civilization era at all!
"Why do these ancient relics from different eras appear in the same place?"
Su Lun was a little confused.
The mythological period, the post-mythological period, the prehistoric era, the Ice Age, the Dawn Era, and even most of the identified antiquities are the output of a civilization that Su Lun has never heard of.
Normally, the antiquities and treasures of a ruins should be from the same era.
But the things produced on this "Alcatraz Island" are a bit of a hodgepodge.
It seems like someone collected them together deliberately.
"Could it be that Alcatraz Island was originally a collector's treasure trove?"
Su Lun can only think of this possibility
There were so many treasures on Feiyu Tuan's ship that Su Lun looked at them for nearly an hour and couldn't finish unloading them.
There are more and more people at the dock. Probably, half of the city has been attracted.
We were enjoying the excitement, but at this moment, suddenly, there was a violent explosion in the city!
"Boom!"
A loud noise exploded through the eardrums.
A blast of dozens of meters high exploded in a corner in the north of the city.
The flames lit up the entire sky in an instant.
This movement immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.
"Look, what's going on? There's an explosion in the city!"
"This explosion intensity cannot be achieved by ordinary explosives."
"Blue light fireworks are explosives with special ingredients. The military high-explosive bombs I have seen in Marfa have this kind of fire."
"Beicheng seems to be the direction of the "Frost Moon Princess" guild hall! ”
"Did someone assassinate that princess?"
""
After the first explosion, there were explosions one after another.
The entire North City was engulfed in flames.
Everyone on the dock was shocked,
Others didn't understand what happened, but when Su Lun looked at it, his first reaction was that Barrett and the others had taken action.
Because those Marfa military high-explosive bombs with blue light were personally given to Barrett by Su Lun!
Barrett and the others went to assassinate Princess Stika?
No,
Of course not!
"Speaking in the east and attacking in the west"
Su Lun narrowed his eyes and immediately guessed something.
Now there is an undercurrent surging in the city, and the focus of all forces is almost entirely on "Princess Frost Moon". This explosion will definitely cause a series of chain reactions.
As expected, shortly after the explosion, the sound of fighting came from over there.
After the test, it became more and more intense.
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
""
Not long after the commotion broke out in Beicheng, explosions and fierce battles suddenly broke out in an area of Xicheng.
The fighting noises became more and more exaggerated, and it looked like someone was fighting on a large scale in the city.
Su Lun looked at the flames of war in the west and was not surprised at all.
Because that location happens to be the headquarters of the Sun Slave Trading Company, where the members of the "Holy Judgment Legion" are imprisoned!
Now that most of the people in the city have come to watch the fun, it is indeed the best time to take action.
"Barrett and the others really chose to attack with force"
Su Lun looked at it and rolled his eyes.
Without any hesitation, he blended in with the melon-eating crowd and quickly moved towards the direction of the noise in the city.
