Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 391: River of the Underworld

Aberke was released from the [Boyle's Puppet Heart], and there was one more person in Su Lun's laboratory.

At this point, Su Lun also realized the brilliance of his senior brother Robert Boyle.

Creating such a core that inherits the skills of the "Ghost Puppet Lineage" can not only ensure that one's own knowledge is passed on, but also select suitable descendants to inherit that knowledge.

Aberke has been trapped in this core for five years, and his gains are not ordinary.

Not only is his talent lost due to certain special circumstances, but more importantly, his character has grown.

Studying alchemy is very boring and lonely, and the more advanced you get, the more so.

Su Lun now understands it deeply.

That requires extraordinary self-discipline and persistence.

How many talented people in the world eventually returned to mediocrity, but they were all defeated by their character.

Being able to stay in a puppet core like a "cage" for five years, Aberke has already acquired the most important qualities to become a top alchemist.

Have good talent and good character, this is a beautiful piece of jade.

Thankfully, his sister Kama has been patiently encouraging him in the past few years, and he is also lucky to have met Su Lun.

Aberke himself worked very hard, and he showed extraordinary talent in alchemy.

I have a photographic memory, multitasking, and can get started with almost all basic knowledge very quickly.

He can read boring alchemy classics with gusto, quickly master combat and firearms, and quickly accept complex mechanical knowledge

Even if he has not combined any colonial clothing and inauguration materials, he can control a basic puppet with his nimble fingers.

Su Lun also liked this disciple very much.

And when he heard Aback saying, "Teacher, I think the human body is too weak and has many limited functions. My dream is to transform myself into a machine puppet," he knew that, This guy will also embark on an unusual path as a puppeteer.

That is a taboo explosive sorcerer of the Puppet Master lineage.

Su Lun also supported his idea.

The inheritance of the Puppet Master lineage has never been static. They stand on the shoulders of their predecessors and continue to explore and make progress.

The path Su Lun wants to take is the "Mechanical Puppet Master" route.

The organ puppets of Boyle's lineage also have infinite possible development routes. He hopes that Kama and Yabok will continue to go further on this road and carry forward their achievements.

It is a pity that [Boyle's Puppet Heart] has not been completely repaired, and most of the knowledge passed down in it cannot be analyzed.

To repair it, Su Lun could think of the best way to get another Green Dragon Crystal to replace it.

But just think about the dragon crystal thing.

The dragon is a creature that existed in mythical times. Mr. Jing said that there are islands in the Western Sea where giant dragons live, and Tani heard this from his Naga mother.

However, the combat power of a creature that is born as a hegemonic creature cannot be measured by ordinary standards.

To kill an adult dragon, Su Lun estimated that only an eighth- or ninth-level professional would have any hope.

No need to think about it in the short term.

But fortunately, Su Lun now has a very rich amount of knowledge, and he has also stripped away the knowledge of the machine puppets of the previous "Thousand Machine Puppet" Vasily Timidor. It will be enough to teach the siblings for at least the next ten or twenty years

With one more person, there is also more excitement.

The three masters and apprentices stayed in the laboratory all day long, doing experiments.

Although he is used to doing research and experiments alone, Su Lun feels good that there is a little more life in the laboratory.

The two disciples were also two handy assistants, and they also saved him a lot of worry.

The sea ruins are very big, as if there is no edge. The Dawn Group sailed for eight or nine days but still could not find the Styx to exit.

Su Lun is busy every day, and he has too many things to study. Mechanical battle armor, making [Siren Banshee Doll], solidifying the combat ability of gargoyles, engraving [Poseidon Rune of Ximing Laiwa] on his body, researching the improvement of mechanical octopus, and making new mechanical octopus

Every day is packed with time, but I don’t feel like the days go by so fast.

On this day, in the laboratory.

Su Lun and the other two were as busy as ever.

In front of the workbench, two people with eight-armed spider spears were busy tinkering with puppets.

The one with the dark golden spider spear is Su Lun, and beside him, Aberke is contacting the rune puppet who carved the first level with the golden spider spear.

As a descendant of the Puppet Master lineage, Su Lun will not treat his direct disciples badly.

He took out the rare materials he collected in his daily life and refined a first-level alchemy equipment for Aberke, the [Eight-Armed Spider Divine Spear]. Although it is the main material of a gold-quality spider spear, it is more controllable and is more compatible with the machine puppet warlock.

Aberke also likes this costume very much, and has become very skilled in using it in a few days.

With two disciples, Su Lun does not need to do many things personally, such as recording experimental data. Kama is a very attentive assistant.

At this time, Su Lun was engraving runes on his body. He thought of something and said: "Kama, you will go see how the [Mind Flayer Eggs] are being cultivated by Dr. Banks later. . If we can get mature mind flayers early, we can get you advanced breeding equipment by then. Although it is not as effective as capturing it in the natural environment, it is suitable for your level."

Su Lun's own path is good, but not everyone can take it.

Without the blessing of two S-level talents, the colonial equipment and inauguration advancement materials he used were difficult for others to digest.

Kama was full of joy when he heard this and responded obediently: "Yes, teacher."

Having a good teacher made her learn so much knowledge.

The key point is that this teacher is also very wealthy and has more good babies than they had in a big family.

Speaking of this, Su Lun added: "Also, you two siblings are just staying in the laboratory. I can't teach you many things. When you have time, go to the deck and find Tani and Luo. Luota and the others should communicate more and get familiar with the other partners of the Dawn Group. By combining work and rest, the learning efficiency will be higher."

Kama is still very obedient: "Okay, teacher."

But Yabo Ke on the side said: "Teacher, just let my sister go alone for things like communication. I think the laboratory is more suitable for me, and learning makes me happy~ Besides, teacher, aren't you always doing experiments? In the room? Everyone says that Teacher is so great because of his hard work. I will work harder in the future and be as powerful as you, Teacher!"

Hearing this, Su Lun smiled.

He combined Serea's teachings with his own experience and said: "Now is the time for you to accumulate learning, so it is best to stay in the laboratory. But in fact, fighting is the fastest way to progress. This is especially true for machine puppets. The world is very big, you have to see it by yourself, and alchemists also need enough knowledge and experience to support your dreams. When you become stronger, you have to go out and experience it yourself."

Kama was thoughtful and interjected: "Ah, Lolotta said, Senjo-sensei said the same thing."

Abok then seemed to understand something, "I understand, teacher."

The three of them were chatting like this. Suddenly, Tani's voice came from the communicator: "Mr. Su Lun, come and take a look. We seem to have arrived at the entrance of the 'River of the Underworld'!"

Su Lun listened and muttered: "We're finally here."

There is a chaotic magnetic field in Haixu, and there is no starlight or moonlight, so it is impossible to determine the direction. Fortunately, the Dawn Group had a navigational treasure like [Black Sam's World Chart], so they could go all the way west.

When Su Lun came to the deck, everyone was gathering around the side of the ship and looking at the black sea swirl with a diameter of several thousand meters in the distance and were shocked.

"Oh my god! I have never seen or even heard of such a huge sea whirlpool in my life!"

"Do we really want to sail the boat in? If we get in, we can't get back in."

"Hahaha, it's time to test boy Tani's skills. We all depend on him."

"Oh, Mr. Sullen is here."

"Hello, Mr. Su Lun~"

""

Everyone looked at Su Lun and said hello one after another.

Su Lun did not delay after responding and jumped onto the mast.

Standing from a high place, he also cast his gaze over, taking in the huge vortex hidden in the mist.

Huge, dark, terrifying, unknown, and mysteriously ancient

Even if the black crow is released, it is impossible to see where the bottom of the sea swirl is. It is like a bottomless pit, swallowing endless sea water, as if it leads directly to another world.

This sea ruins is really like the legend, it is the end of the sea, burying the dead sea water.

Su Lun contacted Mr. Jing, described what he saw, and confirmed again that this was "probably" the entrance to the River of the Underworld.

At this moment, Tani is using his superb boat control skills to circle around the sea.

Behind the Dawn Regiment, there were dozens of sea ships.

Everyone looked at the swirling sea that looked like the mouth of an abyssal demon, not knowing how to make a decision.

Su Lun was observing. At this moment, Tani in the cockpit suddenly asked: "Mr. Su Lun, do we want to go down? If we continue to turn around, the sea whirlpool will drag us in. Or we have to Leave as soon as possible."

As soon as these words came out, Senjo, Barrett, and Dr. Banks all looked over, waiting for his decision.

Although Su Lun often stays in the laboratory and makes a little appearance, everyone in the Dawn Group knows that he is the core of the team.

Su Lun frowned and looked very cautious. After all, this is not the same sea ruins that Sir Isaac went to originally. This decision is related to the lives of everyone in the Dawn Regiment.

But there seems to be no other way to leave Haixu.

After pondering for a moment, he asked first: "Tani, are you sure about going on?"

"No problem!"

Tani used his expertise to give an affirmative answer, and added: "The scope of this sea whirlpool is very large, and the wind direction is stable. We just need to follow the whirlpool pattern. The strength of the 'Eternal Night' is sufficient." Support us from being torn apart by the sea whirlpool. But we don’t know what will happen after we go down. We can’t come up again.”

When Su Lun heard this, he glanced at Qian Jiao and the others, and received a firm look in response.

Everyone in the Dawn Group has absolute trust in him.

Su Lun calculated various possibilities in his mind and said without much hesitation: "Then let's do it."

"Okay."

Tani's serious response came from the communicator, followed by the control command: "The sail operator is in position! Prepare to rush into the sea spin!"

The chief navigator gave the order, and everyone held their breath and concentrated.

After adjusting the sail angle, the "Eternal Night Emperor" rushed towards the huge sea swirl.

This crazy move immediately stunned the dozens of adventure groups who followed the Dawn Group behind them.

The "Black Panther Group" knew some inside information. The leader "Red Nose" Miles was also an experienced adventurer. He did not hesitate to order his subordinates to throw away the heavy gold and silver belongings on the ship and follow them.

The other ships hesitated.

In such a huge whirlpool, regardless of whether they can stay stable, no one can make a decision immediately to give up the treasures on the ship that were exchanged for their lives

The Dawn Group also ignored the strangers.

The "Eternal Night" soon sailed into an area with exaggerated whirlpool ocean currents. The traction force on the hull of the seawater became stronger and stronger, making the maneuverability less and less maneuverable.

"Retract the jib, keep the mainsail under control! Place half a spear to stabilize the hull!"

"Hold on tight, we're going to hit the waves!"

""

Tani's hoarse roar came from the communicator.

Under his command and control, the ship's hull was at an almost 90-degree vertical angle, riding on the ripples of the sea at an ever-increasing speed.

Everyone’s hearts were in their throats, and their expressions were either solemn, excited, or anxious.

Although the Poseidon-class battleship is powerful, it seems so feeble when faced with the power of nature. Once the operation is careless and the ship is involved in the turbulence, the ship will be crushed into pieces by the huge force of the ocean current in an instant.

But after a violent collision, the entire ship suddenly became stable.

The huge centripetal force stuck everyone's feet to the deck. It looked very dangerous, but like a train on the right track, it became stable.

At this time, Tani's excited voice came from the communicator: "Hahaha, the dangerous moment has passed, we have successfully entered the stable flow rate area of ​​​​the sea vortex!"

As soon as these words came out, there were sounds of great relief on the deck.

Su Lun looked at the dark swirling black hole with no bottom visible, his eyes filled with energy.

It was a feeling of falling into an endless abyss.

Facing the abyss, fear no longer existed, but endless courage rose in my heart.

The same goes for Qian Jiao on the side. Looking at each other, they both saw the fearlessness in the other's eyes.

Beside them, Lolotta, Kama, and Aback had never seen such a scene before, and their little faces were full of nervousness

The sea swirl seems to have no end, leading into endless darkness.

Amidst the anxiety on everyone's faces, anticipation gradually emerged.

This is also one of the joys of adventure. The route ahead is always full of unknowns.

In a very short period of time, the "Eternal Night" descended vertically for about ten kilometers. Suddenly, everyone saw a bright blue light in their field of vision.

After a moment of violent impact, it felt like the ship had crashed into the river from a waterfall, and the water flow became gentle.

It was dark all around, but there were groups of blue jellyfish-like spirits flowing through the water.

Su Lun examined it and found that what it showed was actually the [Soul of the Dead].

He was overjoyed and said loudly: "We have arrived at the 'River of the Underworld'!"

When everyone heard this, their faces lit up with joy.

Seeing this river means that they are on the right path and are very hopeful that they can get out.

At this time, Su Lun shouted softly again: "Everyone throw down the [Obolus Silver Coin]!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone threw the silver coin they had prepared into the water. This was a bribe to the ferrymen of the River Styx, a ransom for their souls who were supposed to be bound for the underworld.

"Crash!" The silver coin entered the water, and everyone in the Dawn Group closed their eyes.

In the legend of the Roman Kingdom, a **** river surges from the underworld, called the "Agron River".

Its branches are all over the major planes. After people die, their souls will float along this river to the underworld. The undead must pay a silver coin to the ferry **** before they can safely cross the river by boat, otherwise they will wander and get lost along the banks of the River of Pain, never finding their destination.

Su Lun also closed his eyes. This was the rule on the River Styx. If you really see the ferrying god, you will have to extradite the dead souls on her behalf and never go back. Or you can wait until the next successor to go to the underworld

After paying the money for the road, the Yongye slowly floated upstream on the river, and the slightest sound of water could be heard in my ears.

Mr. Jing said that the River Styx brings together all the dark laws of this plane. Going upstream on the River Styx will wash away people's souls and allow people to understand the mysteries of some dark laws.

Entering Hai Rui was an accident, and it was also a great opportunity.

Opportunities that most people cannot touch in their lifetime.

Everyone in the Dawn Group had their eyes closed, sitting cross-legged, standing, or lying flat on their backs, thinking carefully.

Su Lun cultivated dark spiritual power and understood the "Law of Death". The breath of the Styx made him feel very comfortable.

For the first time, he felt the difference in the law of death.

The "Law of Death" is like a big tree, so the leaves are all different shades of green, from tender green, light green, crystal green, dark green, to even the richest black.

Su Lun felt that what he understood was just one of the leaves, neither too green nor too dull.

He could clearly sense that there was darkness behind him, and they were heading in the direction where the law was becoming more and more bleak

I don’t know how long it took, it seemed like hours or days.

Suddenly, everyone felt the light.

Su Lun opened his eyes, and when he took a look, he saw the long-lost blue sky, white clouds, and the warm sun.

The dark energy accumulated after staying in the land of the dead for a long time was also swept away, and the entire spiritual world became clear.

"Hahaha we are finally back!"

“Oh, the **** smell of death in the sea ruins made me feel that the sea breeze smells so good for the first time!”

""

On the deck, everyone reveled in the joy of returning from the adventure.

When the River Styx flowed backwards, everyone seemed to have been cleansed in their souls. They couldn't describe the feeling, but they all had expressions of harvest.

For the first time in two hundred years, the Evernight was exposed to sunlight, and its murderous black sails looked domineering under the sunlight.

The flag of the Dawn Regiment flutters on the mast.

Not far away, the ships of the "Black Panther Regiment" also followed.

"Red Nose" Miles wanted to return to Lu Ying and guessed that the Dawn Regiment had other important matters, so he waved goodbye to Barrett.

Although I lost a lot of treasure, I also brought back everything. Generally speaking, the harvest was good.

Farewell to the Black Panthers, Tani used a sextant to determine their approximate location and reported: "Mr. Su Lun, we are now several thousand nautical miles away from where we first entered Haixu."

Su Lun did not forget that their main purpose this time was the "void ruins", he said: "Continue sailing!"

Everyone cheered and Yang Fan set sail.

Princess Shuangyue would most likely not have guessed that they had survived the sea ruins.
