Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 425: Psychedelics, old friends, the Sixth Councilor

Su Lun cleaned up some battle traces in the bottom warehouse to ensure that no one would find out about him due to some too obvious fighting methods.

Then he walked around carefully on every floor of the cruise ship.

The bottom cabin is the civilian passenger area and is very densely populated. This place has become a scene of purgatory. Almost all humans have been transformed into monsters, and their deaths are horrific. Because of the loss of the blood refining altar, the bodies of the monsters shrank and turned into grotesque mummies.

In areas where there was obvious fighting, the corpses merged into various multi-faced monsters, shriveled up like old trees with entangled roots. Various flesh and blood tissues were stuck to the walls and floor, making one's scalp numb just by looking at them.

Su Lun got some specimens of the many-faced monster that were not dead and threw them to Dr. Banks in the small void world for research.

When he came to the banquet hall again, it was already half an hour later.

The banquet hall was in a mess, and people were terrified.

There were less than 200 people alive in the previously bustling auction.

In other words, there were originally nearly 5,000 people on the entire cruise ship. Including those who luckily escaped in the cabin, there were only so many people alive in total.

It’s a good thing that he got rid of the Cardinal Archbishop of the Giant Monastery, otherwise the entire army would have been destroyed.

Su Lun had a deep understanding of the term "evil god" for the first time.

He came to the banquet hall without saying hello to anyone else, and found a relatively clean sofa in the corner to sit and rest.

Not far away, Kama and Yabok were surrounded by a group of students from the Royal Academy and were talking.

The two men showed extraordinary fighting power in the battle just now, which has been recognized by everyone.

Especially for people like Alex, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life-saving grace. Everyone gathered around to express their gratitude.

"Miss Karma, your puppetry is so powerful, must it be inherited by a master of a certain lineage?"

"Well! We are the puppet masters of the Boyle family, descended from the lineage of the puppet master Seria a thousand years ago."

"Oh, I heard it before when I was giving puppet courses at the college. Boyle's lineage of puppetry skills is unparalleled in the world, and it is the longest line of puppet masters in the world."

"If I had known that puppetry was so powerful, I should have advanced to become a puppet master."

"Blanco, it's not that easy. A powerful puppet master like Miss Karma requires not only powerful puppets, but also puppet manipulation requires more than ten years of hard work. This is very difficult."

"Miss Karma, you and your brother saved me this time. My father and mother will definitely expect me to invite you to our house to show our humble gratitude to our Roberts family. Please be sure to let me have Such an honor."

"I"

Kama was at a loss as to how to respond to those invitations.

She didn't know that it was her teacher who really solved this crisis, and her own contribution was so insignificant.

Aberke's keen observation was noticed as soon as Su Lun came back. He had no interest in such boring entertainment at all. He wanted to return to his teacher.

But Su Lun waved his hand and pretended not to know him.

After all, my disciples cannot always be under my protection, they have to spread their wings and practice on their own.

Aberke also instantly understood what Su Lun meant.

Although I thought it was boring for him to socialize, he still stayed in the group of students with his sister, minding his own business playing with the Rubik's Cube without paying attention to anyone else.

Su Lun just sat quietly in the corner, like a little transparent person, and no one cared.

He looked around,

That guy Kit is still entangled with that "Ruth" from MI,

Caroline was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Several of her subordinates were giving first aid, and they looked like they would not die.

The remote communication equipment on the "Queen Roderica" ​​cruise ship was completely damaged and unable to contact the outside world.

But almost as soon as the signal contact was lost, the Sun Shipping Company to which it belonged discovered anomalies.

After all, there are a bunch of little nobles and the young master of the big congressman's family on the ship, and the leaders of the shipping company don't dare to be careless. After calculating the location of the accident, nearby ships were immediately dispatched to rescue.

At dawn, a medium-sized cruise ship "Golden One" had arrived in the nearby waters.

Looking at the signs of battle all over the ship, the people on the rescue boat were also shocked. I thought it was a shipwreck caused by a rockslide or a magnetic storm, but when I saw it, there were corpses everywhere, which shocked everyone.

After figuring out the reason, the cult "Giant Hermitage" also appeared in the public eye for the first time.

Because there are only three to two hundred people alive, there is no need to dispatch a large ship to transport them. A group of people took the Golden One cruise ship directly away from the scene of the incident.

In order to prevent anyone from trying to silence them again, the minor nobles immediately contacted their respective families to send people to respond and tell the truth about the matter.

Not long after, more than a dozen warships from the Luying Royal Navy arrived and picked up Alex and the other little nobles.

Sisters Kama and Aberke have their own identities, so there is no need to pretend. The Boyle family are hereditary barons, and they will also carry forward this surname in the future.

Civilian passengers were not eligible to board the warship. Su Lun did not want to cause too much trouble and went back to Lingdun with the cruise ship.

The two disciples now have a certain ability to protect themselves, and it’s time to give them room to grow.

A few days later, the cruise ship was already far away from the port of Cactello in the southern city of London.

The cruise ship made a long whistle sound to remind people on the dock that it was about to dock.

Passengers also began to pack their luggage and prepare to disembark.

Su Lun stood on the deck, looking at the city shrouded in heavy fog from a distance, his eyes deep.

This is the Luying Imperial Capital, Lingdun, known as the Holy Land of Alchemy.

The main color of the ancient city in the field of vision is gray. A layer of gray fog is visible to the naked eye over the city. In the hazy fog, you can see the Gothic-style spiers of the building and the steel bridges of different shapes. There are also slowly moving steam airships floating in the sky

This is a city of steam and steel.

In a world with extraordinary power, the development of mechanical technology is very slow. The urban mechanization of Linton City is almost the same as it was a thousand years ago. Ancient steam engines have been operating in this city for thousands of years, consuming countless amounts of coal every day. Those tall chimneys spewed exhaust fumes into the air all the time. Particles in the air persist all year round, causing the city to have very bad air and slightly toxic smog.

From a distance, Su Lun could smell the throat-drying smell of soot.

This is a better place to wear a gas mask than an underground city like Old Town.

Not long after, the cruise ship docked.

Passengers walked down the gangway one after another.

Su Lun looked at his pocket watch and saw that the cruise ship was half an hour later than the scheduled docking time. He muttered in his heart: "I hope she didn't wait too long."

He got off the boat with his luggage.

There were many local people holding signs to pick up customers on the pier, as well as thieves, gangsters and people soliciting customers mixed in the crowd.

As soon as Su Lun's feet touched the ground, several groups of people rushed up.

Cigarette sellers, alcohol sellers, pimps, and others took the opportunity to steal their pocket watches and storage rings.

Su Lun didn't even pay attention, he followed the crowd and squeezed out.

At this moment, a gangster who looked like a local gangster came over and said mysteriously: "Hey! Brother, do you want a refreshing potion? Really good stuff"

The psychedelic drug is LSD because of its strong addictive properties.

Although it is very common in the field of alchemy, it is also prohibited by Lu Ying's law.

Whatever is banned, there will be huge profits.

Su Lun has long been used to it. In Old Town, this is also one of the main sources of income for the gang.

He didn't pay attention to this kind of drug dealer, but he didn't expect that when the guy got close to him, he actually sneezed.

Hearing the movement, Su Lun's eyes narrowed slightly. He had already passed by, but he also looked back at the guy, and he was suspicious: A believer in the Giant Hermitage?

He has the kind of irritating perfume on his body that makes only believers sneeze when they smell it.

"A sneeze!"

"A sneeze!"

After two more sneezes, the young man wearing a peaked cap rubbed his nose and muttered to himself: "Oh, I caught a cold yesterday, why do I keep sneezing?"

Su Lun was then sure that this guy probably had that kind of parasite in his body.

Seeing that Su Lun stopped and seemed to be interested in the potion, the peaked hat quickly opened his cheap suit and showed the red potion in the row of test tubes, and said: "Brother, would you like a few? Really good stuff! I can guarantee that there is no refreshing potion on the market that is as good as mine."

Su Lun saw a flash of light in his left eye and immediately identified it.

[Diluted Awakening Potion]

Detailed explanation: The medicine made from human blood crystals can refresh the mind and increase energy within a few hours after taking it; it has a high probability of causing mental hallucinations and is highly addictive; the medicine contains a small amount of ectoparasite larvae ; This concentration is obviously over-diluted.

When Su Lun saw the identified information, although there was no strange expression on his face, he instantly became concerned about it.

This potion is actually made from human blood crystals and contains parasite larvae?

I thought that the Giant Hermitage had only infiltrated into Lu Ying's senior management on a small scale, but I didn't expect to get such a hallucinogen and poison it directly towards the people at the bottom.

Seeing the potion and thinking about what happened on the previous cruise ship, Su Lun had a possibility in his mind: Is the outer **** going to use this method to sacrifice the entire Lingdun?

Lingdun is the imperial capital of Lu Ying. It has the largest number of high-level alchemists in the entire plane, and is also guarded by ninth-level masters. Even outside gods would never dare to run rampant here.

But the current situation is that the giant monastery has definitely penetrated into the Luying royal family and the elite class, and now it is using this potion to corrode the bottom class.

The consequences are unimaginable.

Although there are not many people taking hallucinogens, even if it is one percent, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the entire city of Linton with tens of millions of people!

When the wave of aberrant infection like that on the Queen Roderica really breaks out, the entire city of Rington will become a real zombie hell!

A huge conspiracy immediately came to mind.

Su Lun then thought of the incomplete memories of the cardinal and archbishop that had been stripped away before, and it seemed like another piece of the puzzle had been completed.

Just when his thoughts were flowing, the man in the peaked hat urged again: "Brother, what do you want?"

Su Lun took a potion, skillfully applied a little on the back of his hand, and then sniffed it.

As a former gang member, I still have the basic skills of inspecting goods.

He smelled the smell, showed a fairly satisfied expression, and asked lightly: "How did you sell it?"

As soon as the man in the peaked hat saw this method of testing the medicine, he knew that he was an expert, and he tentatively said: "One hundred and fifty liso per tube."

Su Lun ignored him and turned around to leave.

"Hey! Brother, if you are sincere, I can give you a little less."

The peaked hat quickly stopped Su Lun and explained: "Although it is more expensive, I dare say that there is no such good product anywhere else in Lingtong."

Exclusive?

Su Lun captured something keenly and sneered: "This kind of good product formula is not easy, it is impossible for a great alchemist to refine it"

It may seem like a sarcasm, but it’s actually a test.

When the peaked hat heard this, he hurriedly explained: "I see you know your stuff too. Have you ever heard of the 'Vaughn Brotherhood'? To be honest, this was made by the alchemist boss of our gang. The specifics are I can’t disclose it anymore, but I can guarantee that there will be absolutely nothing to say about the product.”

Su Lun was still impressed by Zhen’s name.

There are dozens of gangs, large and small, in more than a dozen districts in Linton City.

This "Vaughn Brotherhood" is a small gang entrenched near the dock.

Is this gang a distributor?

Or a believer in an alien god?

The potions in front of me are obviously diluted products, which is also very common among gangs.

The gang members got a good product with 100% purity and sold it for 100 yuan.

Then it can be diluted into two bottles with a purity of 50% and sold for 60.

You can make more money this way.

As long as it still has some utility, there will be people who are greedy for cheap.

Dilution is much simpler than configuration and has almost no technical content.

But what is certain is that this guy really has a "source of goods".

When they met for the first time, Su Lun didn't act too eager, otherwise it would only make people suspicious.

He said directly: "One hundred and twenty, let me try ten first. If the goods are really good, I will come back to you in the future."

Seeing that there was business, the man in the peaked hat also took out the potion and proactively said: "Okay, if you really want to use it, just come and see me. My name is Bacchus, and I hang out at the dock on weekdays. Just ask anyone and you will know."

"Okay."

Su Lun didn't do any ink, so he took the money and put away the potion.

Such a small group of people only work in bulk and don’t know much information.

Su Lun still has things to do now, so he will come back to touch on this line when he is ready.

He put the potion into the small void world and gave it to Dr. Banks for research.

Su Lun passed through a passenger passage, climbed a few steps, and arrived at the street.

This is a steam train platform.

Nancheng District is an old city, and most of the people living here are civilians. Steam trains are also the most basic means of transportation for people to travel.

The masonry on the ground has too many traces of history, with pits and black water everywhere. Some manhole covers on the street will also emit some hot white gas.

When Su Lun first walked up, he saw mounted policemen with guns patrolling through the street in pairs, riding shiny horses.

This kind of knight, who should have been eliminated by steam motorcycles long ago, is still the most important patrol force in Linton City. Because nobles like this kind of ancient ritual that highlights the city's heritage.

At this moment, a slim young girl was standing next to the platform. She was looking around, as if waiting for someone else.

Although it was only the afternoon, the sun was not visible in the city due to the fog and high-rise buildings. The sight was gray, and the hot and humid steam and majestic wind blew away the girl's thick black hair, revealing the side of her fair and beautiful face.

Su Lun recognized the person and walked over.

The girl happened to look over.

In an instant, she recognized the old friend in front of her, her crystal eyes suddenly lit up, and she greeted warmly: "Mr. Su Lun!"

Su Lun looked at the girl whose appearance had changed a lot and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Miss Reina."

Leina smiled brightly, "Yeah, it's been a long time since we last met."

About three or two years?

Su Lun calculated the time silently in his mind, and realized that quite a long time had passed since he came out of Jiulingdun.

He carefully looked at Reina in front of him, and then realized that this girl had really changed a lot.

The last time we met, Rena was still a young female student, but now she is a beautiful and charming young lady.

She wore an exquisitely crafted suit, which perfectly outlined her figure and made her look very capable. People who come from Jiulingdun have extremely fair and delicate skin. Coupled with her straight black hair, her whole body exudes a pure and beautiful feeling. It also made her stand on this dim street, as if she had been blessed with a bright light filter, attracting side glances from people passing by.

Probably because the old butler "Magic Sheep" Anthony, who was waiting beside the motorcycle, looked indifferent, no one dared to come forward and disturb him.

Seeing his old friend, Su Lun also felt very good.

During the underground trial outside Old Lingdun, the two of them shared the same sorrow. Later, the escape in the inner city was also possible thanks to her being a "hostage". Later, we had close contacts, and the friendship was naturally not shallow.

Speaking of which, Black Scythe also got the two famous guns [Razer] and [Ao Oni] from her when I met her

The two have too many memories in common.

The cruise ship was delayed for half an hour. Su Lun was a little embarrassed: "I kept you waiting for so long. Miss Reina."

"Nope."

Reina seemed to be welcoming an old friend she hadn't seen for a long time, and she generously extended her arms.

Su Lun also walked over and gave the girl, who was half a head taller than two years ago, a warm hug.

With Wen Yu in his arms, a faint fragrance rushed into his nose, and the good mood of meeting old friends suddenly became stronger.

After hugging each other for a few breaths, the two separated.

Leina blinked, and the light in her crystal eyes trembled.

She looked at Su Lun and said, "Wow, Mr. Su Lun has become handsome again~"

Su Lun shook his head in disbelief and said with a smile: "Miss Reina has really become more beautiful."

Leina tilted her head and smiled, seemingly very happy, "Really?"

Su Lun nodded, not stingy with his praise, and seriously responded to the expectant look in his eyes, "Well, it looks better."

He discovered that not only her appearance had changed, but Reina's personality had also changed a lot. At least the little girl who used to be shy and blushing at every turn can now hug and tease her openly.

Leina always had a slight smile on her eyebrows, as if she had a lot to say. But she pointed to the steam locomotive on the side and said, "Mr. Su Lun, let's talk about it after we get on the train."

"Yeah."

Su Lun nodded, looked at the old housekeeper waiting by the car, and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Anthony."

Anthony's old face showed a rare smile and said: "Mr. Su Lun, long time no see. Get in the car first, there are many people here."

He opened the car door.

"Yeah."

Su Lun nodded and motioned for the lady to get in the car first.

Leina was not polite, took Su Lun's hand and got into the car together.

As soon as the car door is closed, it immediately becomes a private space for the two of them to be alone. Linton's steam locomotives are the same as old-fashioned horse-drawn carriages. In order to ensure their privacy, the aristocratic gentlemen had separate passenger compartments and cabs.

This car also has soundproofing restrictions. After closing the door, it immediately cuts off the noisy sounds in the neighborhood. Also to block out the loud sound of the steam boiler.

Su Lun and the two sat on the soft leather cushions.

Leina directly talked about today's business, saying: "Mr. Su Lun, the special metals you summoned before have been raised in large quantities, and now they are piled up in the cargo terminal warehouse. You can pick them up in the past. Also. There are those large mechanical lathes you need. I have also contacted the seller and are discussing the purchase. They should be available within a week or two."

"Yeah. Thank you for your hard work."

Su Lun nodded.

I was in such a hurry to leave the dock because I wanted to get the batch of materials as soon as possible.

The war workshop production in the small void world has almost stopped due to lack of materials.

Thanks to Reina and the others helping with operations in Linton, otherwise the special metals controlled by the military would be really difficult to handle.

Mr. Tingjing said before that the Rais Family Chamber of Commerce has established a firm foothold in Luying. Reina performed very well, even surpassing her father, and quickly became the mainstay of the chamber of commerce.

Looking now, Reina has indeed grown a lot.

At this time, he sensed something and asked: "Rena, have you advanced to the third level?"

Leina nodded, with an expression on her face like a little girl who wanted to be praised, "Yes, in addition to running the Chamber of Commerce, I have also worked hard to become stronger over the years."

But then, the conversation changed: "But compared with Mr. Su Lun, it is much worse!"

Su Lun smiled and said nothing.

Rena said, taking out a few more newspapers on the seat, pointing to the black and white photo above, and said: "I didn't know you had become so powerful until I saw you appear in the newspaper. '1v200,000', oh my God! You don't know that because of the battle with Roman Kingdom, puppet master has become the most popular profession in Rington recently. The price of related materials has skyrocketed several times, and crows have become the most fashionable pets! The Alchemy Guild in the city is still holding the 'National Puppet Master Competition'"

"Haha."

Su Lun smiled.

After taking a glance, I realized that this was a newspaper from almost a month ago. The photo above was the scene of his battle in the arena of the Moros city-state. He was wearing a two-way cloak and holding a black scythe. Although the photo didn't capture the domineering aura that lingered all over his body, the photo captured his stern temperament that made him red-eyed.

It does look good.

Reina seemed to be collecting relevant newspapers, and skillfully opened a few more, which were all information about the battle, pointing: "And here and here"

As she talked about other people's stories, she became more and more excited.

Since they were the only two people in the carriage, she didn't shy away from it and sat very close to her naturally and intimately.

Su Lun looked at the newspaper, glanced at it inadvertently, and saw a patch of white flowers.

Leina is wearing a smart suit, but the white lining has a very fashionable lace design. The original button position was completely hollowed out, leaving a long vertical opening, revealing a large area of ​​tender skin. The slight height is just right, and there is a kind of looming charm in the sexy. This dress fully demonstrates the beauty of a mature woman's figure.

Both material and design, this dress is top-notch.

If it were normal, you wouldn't be able to see anything.

But now she is sitting here without deliberately closing her clothes, so she is naturally looking at the white flowers.

Su Lun narrowed his eyes for a moment.

But I don’t feel the contrast in my mind.

I remember seeing this girl’s figure before. Although it was not bad, she was still young and mature at that age, so it was probably only a slight bulge.

Well, I’ve really matured a lot now, and I can’t hide it anymore.

At the best age, even without underwear, she still looks proud.

Leina is now a third-level professional, so her perception is naturally not bad.

How did she not notice that glance?

Only then did I realize that my clothes were open.

Before, she would have blushed with embarrassment.

But now, although there was an imperceptible strange color in Reina's eyes, she asked openly: "Mr. Su Lun, do you also think this dress looks good? This is the most popular women's clothing in Linton. The design is custom-made by Sister Sabina’s personal tailor~”

"It's pretty."

Su Lun nodded and asked curiously: "Are you familiar with Sabina?"

Leina blinked her eyelashes lightly and smiled brightly: "Yes, because they are all from Jiulington. Sister Sabina has been together in the past two years and helped me a lot. She also taught me She taught me how to match these clothes. She also said, Mr. Su Lun, you will definitely think it looks good."

""

Su Lun suddenly felt like he understood something.

Taught a lot?

Based on his understanding of Sabina, wouldn’t he have taught Reina some weird knowledge?

A hint of cunning flashed across Reina's eyes, and she added: "Sister Sabina was originally going to come to greet you, but because she was investigating a special piece of information, she couldn't get away today, so she didn't come."

"Oh."

Su Lun didn't care either.

Sabina is engaged in intelligence work, so it is better to hide her.

Leina doesn't seem to mind the issue of clothes, and the corners of her eyebrows already have the calmness and confidence of an office lady. It was probably because Su Lun was with him.

She continued to talk about some recent information

Steam cars drove through the streets of London, and the buildings on the streets passed by quickly.

The Nancheng District of Linton is the old city, and the buildings are very old. Beggars in ragged clothes are everywhere on the streets. This is a breeding ground for crime and gangs.

The two of them talked about some facts and the past, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

But suddenly, Su Lun caught a glimpse of a large building under construction on the street.

The spire, bell tower, majestic stone columns and arches, and the stained glass windows with a strong religious atmosphere all indicate that this is no ordinary building.

In front of the building, there were people dressed as nuns giving porridge and bread to the poor, and there was a long queue.

The living conditions of the lower class people in Linton are still very poor, and there are many homeless people who starve to death every day.

Leina looked at Su Lun's eyes and said: "That is the newly built church. Originally, the "Act of Faith" could not be passed in the parliament, but Queen Charlotte used the royal family's privileged vote to bypass it directly. The parliament passed the bill. Later, for some unknown reason, two major congressmen also voted in favor. Now all religious beliefs are not prohibited in Lu Ying. Especially believers of various gods from the four countries of Beizhou came to Lu Ying to preach. It is conservatively estimated. The current number of various sects in Linton City exceeds at least fifty."

""

Su Lun frowned as he listened.

He thought of the guy who sold hallucinogens at the dock before, and he became more and more aware of what Mr. Bai Jing said.

Alchemy civilization must not allow believers of God to take power! "Oh, by the way, Mr. Su Lun. There is also a very important piece of information that we need to be careful about."

At this moment, Reina thought of something again and said: "Just a week ago, Archduke Raphael officially passed the parliamentary vote and won the sixth 'grand council seat'. The specific reason is unknown, but it is said that It's because its powerful military capabilities have been recognized by the other five congressmen. Sister Sabina also reminded us that an intelligence organization suspected of being an 'umbrella organization' appeared in London recently, and told us to be more careful."

"Oh?"

When Su Lun heard this, his eyes instantly showed contemplation.

He had used a mechanical octopus to attack a submarine before. Archduke Raphael probably knew that the neuromechanical technology had been leaked.

Originally, Raphael was a lord in a remote place, unable to reach the imperial capital.

Now he has become a "big councilor" directly

This has to be guarded against.

Just when Su Lun and Reina were going to the cargo terminal.

In the Anti-Smuggling Bureau office at Caktelo Port, the communicator rang.

"What, you said that a buyer came to pick up the contraband from the 'Thunder Cat Chamber of Commerce'?"

"Yes, Mr. Section Chief. The warehouse has received the delivery application form and confirmed the news."

"My dear, after waiting for so long, the buyer has finally arrived. Call people to gather and prepare to arrest people! Inform the congressman that there are clues coming!"

"Yes, Section Chief!"
