Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 382: Hai Rui

The legend of the "North Sea Monster" has been circulating in the waters north of Luying for at least a thousand years.

Maybe it's not this one, maybe it's this group of titan octopuses.

But Su Lun also had to admit that such a big man was really at the top of the food chain in the sea.

Fifty mechanical octopuses are enough to destroy a fleet of dozens of battleships, but in the fight with this guy, they didn't get the slightest advantage, and several of them were scrapped one after another. If we really continue to use it to the end, the mechanical octopus army may be completely annihilated.

Fortunately, the Princess Stika led by "Thief King" Meldis ran away, so Su Lun could free up his hands.

Together with Dr. Banks, he tried various methods including poisoning and soul attacks for a long time before finally trapping the big guy and then using the winches on the three battleships to pull it up and destroy it. It took a lot of effort to stuff it into the "small void world".

Su Lun has always wanted to catch a giant octopus to make a super-large mechanical octopus, but the octopus sold in the market is far from meeting the demand.

This Kraken just fell asleep and met the pillow.

It is of Titan bloodline and an overlord-level creature. Not only its size, vitality, but also its growth rate far exceed expectations.

Simply the most ideal material.

It just so happens that Su Lun has the ability to capture this giant sea monster.

Dr. Banks also has a strong interest in this ancient bloodline creature. He took a lot of blue blood and body tissue samples for research.

He said that in the future, there might be an opportunity to extract the "Titan genes" from the blood to create an [Atavism Potion], and there might be a chance to artificially cultivate this kind of "Titan Octopus".

I don’t say it’s necessarily as strong as this one, but at least it’s much bigger than an ordinary octopus.

Once it can be cultivated artificially, its properties will be completely different.

Su Lun feels that the future is promising.

There really are thirty-five lucky mechanical octopuses. Not to mention the sail battleships, even the giant steel ships like Marfa are capable of fighting.

However, the unit price of a small octopus exceeds 100 million liso. The cost of modifying a mechanical octopus of this size is estimated to be astronomical.

Su Lun didn’t think too much about it for the time being, and just took it one step at a time.

No matter what, it can be considered a big gain.

Of course, the price paid is not small.

The few arrows that drove Princess Shuangyue away consumed about one-tenth of the [Sands of Time], which is of immeasurable value.

Fortunately, besides this "North Sea Monster", there are some other gains

Su Lun and some people from the Dawn Regiment were catching octopus, while people from the other two boats went to salvage the previously sunk "Pulsatilla" and the trophies of several pirate groups.

Because they were covered by artillery, all five ships were beaten to pieces. There are a lot of wood chips, treasure chests, and barrels floating on the sea

Of course, there are some survivors.

When Su Lun completed the capture of the "North Sea Kraken", the salvage work over there was still continuing.

A large amount of treasures were picked up one after another and sent back to the battleship, where they piled up on the deck.

"Hahaha, the loot this time is not lost to our rounds of artillery shells!"

"Yes. I have never seen many of these treasures before. This top-quality [seven-color gem], I heard in Roman was also a 'god' enshrined in the Agaparnon Temple. Wow, this is an eye-opener." ”

"Mr. Sullen, look, is this the [Hand of the Void God of Chronos] you mentioned? Wow, there are several space treasures"

""

Su Lun looked happy as he watched the treasures being picked up one by one.

The legendary quality [Hand of the Void God of Chronos] is also on board as expected. It happened to be placed in a treasure chest floating on the sea, and the first batch was fished out.

After identification, it turns out that this is indeed an alchemy cultivation outfit that is very compatible with Qianjiao. After fusion, it can give people an extremely exaggerated ability to "transmit both objects and demons". For the light swordsman, this is definitely a qualitative improvement in combat power. In the future, against heavy armor professionals, the damage of slashing attacks will also be greatly increased.

There is no need to doubt the quality of the breeding equipment. Instead, we need to consider whether the curse characteristics are too strong and the fusion of thousands of strips will cause distortion.

After picking up this treasure, Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief.

The original purpose of their pursuit of the "Pulsatilla" this time was for this treasure.

But gradually, Su Lun's eyes gradually became solemn as he looked at the increasingly exaggerated treasures piled up on the deck.

[Heroic Spirit of the Brave], [Quicksand Crystal of the Muses], [Golden Wheat Ears of Frey, the God of Fertility]

These are all treasures of the same level as the [Golden Fleece] seized before, and almost every one of them is related to ancient myths.

Obviously, this is a sacrifice to the sea from the guys at the Agaparthenon Temple.

But now it was intercepted and salvaged by them.

Su Lun frowned as he looked at it.

It can also be confirmed by the sacrifices that the standards of this sacrifice are frighteningly high.

How does it feel?

It's probably like you originally just wanted to rob the rich and give to the poor, but unexpectedly, you directly robbed the emperor who was visiting privately in private.

Too many treasures make people feel uneasy.

This made Su Lun feel more and more that there was a big problem with the sacrifice.

At this moment, Lolotta, Kama, and Tani came back happily driving an assault boat. From a long distance apart, they shook their hands and shouted: "Mr. Su Lun, we have captured the one you want alive!"

The three people got the person on the boat. It was a wet priestess wearing a magic-forbidden bracelet. Blonde hair, blue eyes, high nose, standard Roman beauty.

Lolota was still talking excitedly about the process of capturing the prisoner of war just now, "This person is hiding deep in the sea and keeps sinking for some reason. If it weren't for Tani, we wouldn't have been able to find her"

Tani also looked arrogant, like a child waiting to be praised.

Su Lun listened and praised the three of them: "Well, you did a good job."

Probably realizing that Su Lun was the talker of the Dawn Group, the priest raised his head and glared with vicious eyes, saying: "You outsiders have blasphemed the Poseidon and angered the Poseidon, and you will be punished. You are Our enemy of Roman!"

Su Lun frowned when he heard this. Hearing this, he did not think it was a verbal threat.

Before being assassinated by the [Golden Divine Spear] in the city, this time the "Alcatraz Treasure", as well as all the current sacrificial activities, the Agapanaon Temple played a key role behind the scenes.

He didn't want to kill the prisoner, but it looked like he wanted to get the information he wanted from her.

Without any hesitation, Su Lun raised his hand and pulled, and a blood line immediately appeared on the neck of the beautiful priestess in front of him.

The vitality quickly passed from her face, and the head fell on the deck with a clang, blood gushing out like a fountain.

Blood sprayed on the faces of the three Lolotta people. Each of them had a little doubt in their eyes, and they still didn't realize why Su Lun suddenly started killing people.

Su Lun didn't explain either. The shadow of the God of Death appeared behind him and directly swallowed the "gray mist" on the corpse.

"You stripped away the soul of 'Alluen'"

"You have gained some historical secrets about the Temple of Agapathenon"

"You have received a piece of information: Half a year ago, the high priest predicted that 'there will be a foreign puppet master who will bring disaster to the Roman Kingdom'"

"You have obtained the information: 'The Living Sea Sacrifice can bring good luck to the Roman Kingdom and obtain the blessing of the Poseidon; no one can come out alive, and they will stay in the Sea Ruins forever. This time attracts those outside adventures If anyone goes to hunt for treasure, Lord Neptune will definitely be very satisfied with so many fresh souls, which will bring Roman stability to the sea for decades to come.'"

"You have obtained: '[Golden Spear] can only be used by Onis Popov. He is a handsome and charming man, a born hero. Oh, he and other priests in the temple have Intimate relationships, I am no exception'"

"You got the information: 'Princess Stika heard that there was a [Fragment of Ouroboros] on Alcatraz Island, and she wanted to use a sacrifice to exchange for that treasure from the Sea King Drake'"

「」

Searching for keywords, Su Lun instantly solved all the doubts in his mind.

The amount of information is huge!

Once digested, this made him feel very painful again.

It turns out that the person who shot himself with the [Golden Spear] in the city before was Oleg's second son Onis Popov.

Similar to the **** rumors circulating in the outside world, this guy is the son of Oleg and Helvier, the high priest of the Agapanaon Temple.

Of course, gossip like "the two spent seven days and seven nights in the temple" is not important.

What Su Lun was more concerned about was that the reason why the guy shot him was really because of an inexplicable "prophecy".

Isn’t this causal relationship reversed?

You don’t need to poke me with your spear, I’m too lazy to care about you

This bridge has been forged.

But Su Lun felt that this female priest might not have grasped the whole truth.

The prophecy was made by the "high priest", and only she knew what was predicted.

Even the puppet warlock [Heart of Four Colored Elements] was deliberately spread because of this prophecy, in order to attract the prophesied puppet master to Alcatraz Island.

The temple was naturally behind the news of the "Alcatraz Treasure".

They want to attract outsiders and complete the "Sea Festival" that happens every few decades.

The lives of hundreds of thousands of human beings were exchanged for Roman's decades of good weather and prosperity for the country.

In Romania, there has been a tradition of using prisoners of war for sacrifice since ancient times. In the eyes of believers, being able to dedicate one's life to the gods is not only not a terrible thing, but also a very glorious thing.

Maybe those guys don't think the act of "sacrificing hundreds of thousands of people" is so bad.

But after listening to this, Su Lun immediately lost any favorable impression of this "land of war gods" and "land of heroes".

Sure enough, the ancient alchemists were right to expel these **** believers.

Some fanatical believers are simply a cancer to mankind.

As for the consequences of interrupting the sacrifice, the female priest doesn't know. She only knows that it will cause "horrible consequences". People in this sea area will die in the "Hai Ruins" and become sacrifices.

Including herself.

From the beginning, these female priests never thought about returning alive

Su Lun peeled off the information, and as soon as he finished digesting it, he immediately shouted through the communicator: "Everyone, get back to the ship immediately!"

He immediately realized that there was no time to salvage the loot and they had to leave the sea immediately.

Everyone at sea was a little surprised when they heard Su Lun's order. Although it was a pity to see the treasures sinking into the sea, everyone began to rush back to the ship in assault boats.

Qianjou heard Su Lun’s serious tone, came back from the sea, and asked: "What's wrong?"

Su Lun frowned and replied: "There may be big changes in this sea area."

Coincidentally, as soon as he said these words, the color of the world suddenly changed.

Thunder was rolling in the sky, a sudden strong wind roared on the sea, and the waves became more and more exaggerated.

In a very short period of time, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to have formed the shape of a super huge skull. The empty eyes stared at the three battleships of the Dawn Regiment, as if gods were watching the world, making everyone's hair stand on end.

Su Lun's eyes narrowed slightly.

He stared at the skull, and the identification showed [the death aura projection of Aquaman Drake], and murmured: "Aquaman?"

Tani also heard something and exclaimed: "Mr. Sullen, the fish are panicking, as if something bad is going to happen!"

The crew members reacted instantly and quickly boarded the ship one by one.

"Don't worry about the loot, get on the boat!"

"If you can't hold the assault boat, don't let it go, hold on to the cable!"

"Quick, pick up the brother who fell into the water"

""

Fortunately, Su Lun warned the crew members at sea to prepare in advance. After some troubles, all the crew members boarded the ship without any danger.

At this time, dark clouds covered the sun and the sea was dark. The waves were tens of meters high. The three warships were as small as blades, and the ships were shaking violently.

The heavy rain poured on the deck, splash, crash, crash

The sea, which was calm and sunny before, suddenly became so terrifying.

No one has ever seen such exaggerated waves. In front of the power of nature, human power seems so insignificant. A gentle wave of this level can cause the three three-masted sailboats of the Dawn Group to sink to the bottom of the sea in an instant.

In the heavy rain, Tani, the chief navigator, was commanding at the top of his lungs.

"Ship No. 2, at a 45-degree angle, activate the alchemy sail and rush into the waves at full speed!"

"Ship No. 3, fix your inboard sails, full port rudder, follow us!"

"Ship No. 1, remove the chains that fix the cannons, let them move with the hull, and let the inertia stabilize the hull! Hurry, or your ship will be capsized by the waves!"

""

This kind of wind and waves is no longer something ordinary navigators can handle. If you are not careful, everyone will be buried in the sea.

At this moment, there was only Tani's voice in the communication channel, and everyone obeyed his command.

Even Su Lun didn't interrupt even half a sentence.

Having seen Tani's super ship control ability in an extremely severe storm before, the Dawn Group has absolute trust in him.

So even if they listened to the instructions that looked like "send death", everyone completely followed them and were busy at their respective positions.

The newly-joined members of the Judgment Group are professional soldiers, and they have the awareness to absolutely obey military orders. Even if they are not familiar with Tani, the "First Navigator", they will not question it.

If this were a group of ordinary pirates with no tacit understanding, the whole army would be wiped out in the first wave.

The three warships were on the waves tens of meters high. In the huge whirlpool with a diameter of several nautical miles, the strange cliff-like trench seemed to be completely overturned by the waves many times, but they all miraculously survived. Sailed out.

One wave, another wave

Extremely thrilling.

Su Lun, Qian Jiao, and everyone on the boat looked pale.

Even Pandora, who never liked to join in the fun, appeared on the deck and looked at the skull in the sky.

Su Lun also knew very well that this was the punishment of the so-called "Sea King".

But in the eyes of alchemists, the essence of all phenomena is actually the mutual conversion of energy.

This wave is not naturally formed. It can cause such a big movement, and the energy consumed by the "Sea King" is definitely not small.

If the three ships of the Dawn Regiment cannot be sunk, there is a high probability that it will not last long.

As Su Lun expected, after more than half an hour, the terrifying storm suddenly stopped.

But the dark clouds in the sky have not dispersed, and there is only a faint blue light between the sea and the sky.

The feeling given to Su Lun is a bit like the lifeless sky in the "Land of Underworld"

The storm subsided. Except for some damage to the hull and some supplies falling into the sea, fortunately there were no casualties.

The crew became busy again.

"Engineers check the hull and repair the damage!"

"Everyone check the equipment and don't let down your guard. Sensing the team, pay attention to the situation in the sea."

"It's foggy, turn on the fog lights."

""

Because of the emergency preparedness, everyone performed their duties and worked in an orderly manner.

Meanwhile, on deck.

Su Lun, Qian Jiao, Dr. Banks and Barrett met together and had a brief meeting with serious faces.

Su Lun shared the information he had stripped with everyone.

It's so dangerous that few people think it's a big deal, it's just part of the sailing adventure.

But when they heard that the Temple of Agapanaon really wanted to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of adventurers to the sea as sacrifices, everyone looked very unhappy.

Qianjo: "So, the treasure of Alcatraz was a conspiracy from the beginning?"

"Yes."

As Su Lun spoke, he pointed to the gloomy sky and said: "The current situation is that this Alcatraz Island is actually a 'sea ruin'. The waves just brought us to this sea area. And unfortunately , we are trapped here now"

The Eye of Omniscient has identified it. Not long after the ghostly face appeared in the sky just now, this space was the [Hai Ruins].

"Hai Ruins" is a legendary term. In the mouth of the bard, it is "the place where the sea dies" and "the place where the sea **** is buried".

It sounds quite romantic.

But actually, this is a very dangerous place.

It is said that all people who die at sea will go to the "Hai Ruins", where there is a passage to the underworld and some unknown secrets are hidden there.

It's a bit like a super-sized cursed space, but it's not.

Now the Dawn Group is trapped here.

Su Lun even guessed that from the beginning, the high priest of the temple probably paid this attention.

In this way, kill the person in the prophecy.

As long as you come to this sea area, you can't get out.

Su Lun added: "There is also the mysterious "Sea King". I'm not sure what kind of existence he is. It may be some false **** or some kind of sea monster, but he should be very strong. The previous storm should be its masterpiece. Of course, the most important problem is that we are trapped now and have to find a way out. ”

As soon as these words came out, several people on the deck fell into silence.

Because no one has been to Huanhai Ruins, naturally I don’t know how to get out.

At this time, Senjou looked at the dull atmosphere and said, "Whether that "Sea King" is a monster or something else, just come and kill him. ”

She once saw the real **** in the Dawn Ruins, and also killed the false **** with a sword in the Underworld.

So, there was no fear in her eyes, and there was nothing that could scare her.

Hearing this, Barrett also analyzed: "Indeed, just fight when we come. Our Dawn Regiment is not weak now, and it is unlikely that we will encounter an invincible enemy. And the false gods also need Supported by faith, if "Sea King" were a false god, he wouldn't be too strong. Otherwise, it would have taken action in the wave just now. ”

People who have experienced life and death hardships appear calm in the face of adversity.

After a pause, he said: "Our biggest problem now is how to get out."

Su Lun also nodded, he thought so too.

But I asked over the communicator and no one knew.

At this time, Qian Jiao suddenly said: "How about you ask Philo? She might know."

She is still used to calling Mr. Jing by this pseudonym.

When Su Lun heard this, he said, "Yes!"

My senior sister is someone who has seen a lot of things in the world, and she also has a father who has seen a lot of things in the world.

I was always thinking about breaking the situation by myself, but my thinking suddenly became limited.

Thinking about it, he dialed Mr. Jing’s communication directly.

Barrett's eyes twitched as he heard this. He knew who Su Lun was trying to contact.

Now that he has officially joined the Dawn Regiment, he knows the true identity of Dawn’s leader.

There were countless speculations about the identity of the mysterious "Mr. Mirror" before, but he never thought that that person was actually the biological daughter of Sir Isaac, the "Alchemy Demigod" from a thousand years ago!

Soon, the communicator dialed.

Mr. Jing really knows this question!

"You are trapped in a 'Hai Ruins'? That's a bit troublesome. My father once went to a 'Hai Ruins' in the South China Sea, and he told me some experiences. To get out, first you have to find 'River of the Underworld', you can only come back by going upstream from that river. But you have to pay attention, there are many undead creatures in the sea ruins"

As Su Lun and others listened, their expressions immediately became wonderful.

The term "dead end" is also offensive.

For ordinary people, Hai Rui has no way in or out, but for a being as powerful as Sir Isaac, it probably means it is a dangerous tourist attraction?
