Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 435: Ying Jue’s apology

, Mechanical Alchemist

The St. Gotia Hotel is a very high-end hotel in London South City. The decoration in the room is luxurious and exquisite.

When the two of them passed by the downstairs of the hotel last night, they wanted to find a place to spend the night.

If you can choose a good one, you can't treat yourself badly.

But after all, something happened just now. If someone checks in in the middle of the night, it will easily be noticed by someone who is interested.

So the two of them did not register at the front desk, but directly climbed over the wall and entered room 4001.

It was like staying overnight secretly.

In the early morning, Su Lun woke up on the luxurious bed in the room.

He looked at Sabina lying next to him and secretly praised her.

A pure heart and a few desires?

No!

In front of the succubus, there is no qualification to be ascetic.

After a night of hard work, Su Lun, a professional who is considered to be in the best physical condition among fifth-level professionals, still felt slightly exhausted after a night's rest. It can be imagined that his energy was consumed a lot.

[B-005-Succubus] This talent, not to mention other abilities, is definitely the best charm technique in the world.

And the natural ability will increase as the rank increases.

Although Su Lun has learned the lesson a long time ago, Sabina is now becoming more and more proficient in those pleasure skills. That night, Su Lun fully enjoyed the ultimate experience of feeling like he was floating in the clouds.

There was probably a slight movement, and at this time, Sabina who happened to be next to her also opened her eyes.

She looked at Su Lun, who was looking at her, and asked with a smile: "Master, did you have a good rest last night?"

Su Lun looked at the meaningful ambiguity and cunningness in her beautiful eyes and shook her head helplessly.

Although the succubus is good, it really shortens your life.

On the contrary, it was Sabina who had been working hard all night. Not only did her charming and pretty face not show any trace of fatigue, but her energy and blood were rosy and she became more and more radiant.

Looking at Su Lun's overwhelmed expression, she couldn't help but sneer.

It's all her own fault, so why shouldn't she be happy?

At this time, Sabina felt something, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't hide her excitement and said: "Hey, Master! I feel that my understanding of the laws at this moment can almost advance to the fourth level!"

Su Lun was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked: "So fast?"

Sabina has been trapped in the third level for a long time, and her foundation is solid enough. However, she lacks the understanding of the fourth level rules and has been unable to condense the elemental barrier.

This threshold is a big threshold, and most low-level professionals are trapped here for life.

Sabina's own comprehension ability is not very outstanding, and most of her energy is spent on intelligence work. Therefore, this hurdle was originally not a big one, and it was almost impossible to overcome it by understanding it on your own.

However, she also has a special talent.

Sabina’s talent is inherited from her family’s bloodline [Succubus], and her family also inherits secret cultivation methods.

This secret method is slightly similar to Su Lun's [Death Reaper], that is, it can directly absorb other people's insights and use them for one's own use.

I tried it before and the effect was obvious.

But it was obviously a long way off, but didn’t expect that after this night, it would actually happen?

Sabina nodded, not forgetting to give her master a rainbow fart by the way, and said: "Yeah. Mainly because you are so awesome, master. Your law understanding is already at the sixth level, which is higher than mine. There are three major levels, and if you just absorb a little bit, I will gain a lot."

"Oh?"

Su Lun naturally heard the hint of flattery and joy in Sabina's tone, and was truly happy for her.

The situation in Lingdun is complicated now. If my maid can advance to the fourth level as soon as possible, her life-saving ability will also be greatly improved.

This is good news.

But it’s just the quantity, the effect shouldn’t be so exaggerated.

Sabina obviously saw his doubts, blinked again, and explained excitedly: "I used the second-level secret cultivation last night, and I didn't expect it to be so good! Not only that! It’s the fourth level, or even the fifth level, or even the sixth level of law understanding, and I feel like I have some ideas.”

Su Lun suddenly realized.

But when he heard the second interpretation talent in Sabina's mouth, his eyes suddenly became slightly unnatural.

Generally speaking, the talent of the second solution will greatly improve the ability of the first solution and awaken some very special abilities.

Sabina’s second interpretation of [Succubus] is called [Thousand-Change Succubus].

That's the literal meaning.

After the second solution, not only her original abilities such as mental power, charm, physical toughness, etc. were greatly improved, but she also gained "ever-changing" new abilities.

For an intelligence professional, this is definitely a magical skill with maximum compatibility.

As long as Sabina has met anyone, she can imitate them perfectly.

Not only the appearance, but also the smell are exactly the same.

If Su Lun didn't have the ability to perceive the soul, it would even be difficult to tell the truth from the false.

However, his soul perception is an ability brought by the second version [S-004-Death Reaper]. Not to mention whether there is another person in the entire plane who has awakened this extremely rare S-level talent. Even if there is, it is almost impossible to achieve the second solution.

So under normal circumstances, Sabina's ability to change is extremely difficult to expose.

This ability is also the most important reason why she established a foothold in Lingdun in a short period of time and safely collected intelligence.

This ability is excellent for collecting intelligence in disguise.

But last night, Sabina demonstrated the wonderful use of this ability for pleasure.

It turns out that while she was twice as happy, she was also twice as enlightened?

Tsk, what a wonderful talent

Su Lun thought of some beautiful scenes from last night.

Sabina keenly caught some of his changes, and said with charming eyes: "Master, do you want me to help you get up?"

After waking up, Su Lun had no intention of getting bored in bed.

Hearing this **** proposal, he still decisively refused.

Although succubi are good, they should not be greedy.

What's more, they sneaked into the hotel room secretly. Although no one disturbed them in the middle of the night, the hotel would continue to welcome guests after dawn. Although people can be sensed in advance when they are coming, they can easily be caught off guard and disrupt their interest.

Su Lun lifted the quilt, stood up decisively and left Wenrou Township, saying only: "There are still business matters today."

"Oh."

Sabina responded obediently, and then said: "Then I will serve you, Master, to dress."

This service is finally serious.

Although Sabina became more and more "unruly", she never forgot her identity.

She got up and got busy.

In Luying, maids serving daily life are standard equipment for nobles. If you wake up and don't see three or five young girls in maid uniforms washing your face and brushing your teeth, others will suspect you are bankrupt.

Su Lun didn’t have the hedonistic habits of a noble lord. He wanted to do it himself, but Sabina refused.

From washing to dressing, he didn’t do much himself. Sabina was like a qualified maid who would always take care of everything

Not long after, it was already light outside the window.

The roaring noise of steam locomotives came from the streets, and the city of Rington was gradually waking up.

Sabina had just helped Su Lun get dressed, when one of her encrypted communicators rang.

She walked over, picked up the handbag on the bedside, read the news, turned to Su Lunhui and reported: "Sir, there is news over there, saying that the matter last night has been resolved. , the person who leaked the information at the dance has been found out, and the matter has been clarified. So we have to give us an explanation."

""

Su Lun said nothing as he listened, thinking appeared in his eyes.

This is what we expected last night. Members broke the rules of the dance, and the organizer will step in to solve the problem.

I didn’t expect it to be solved in just one night. That person’s energy is indeed not small.

Su Lun originally didn’t want to risk his face again, but he was still thinking about the imported equipment.

Thinking that the prom party really had no problems at the moment, and after considering various risks, he said: "Okay. Contact them and see how they want to explain."

After receiving permission, Sabina used the communicator to return.

Soon, she got a reply, saying: "They have arrested everyone. Except for the few who died for interrogation, they have all been sent here alive. They want to show us. Then they brought the man Some apology and compensation."

"Did someone send it over?"

Su Lun turned his eyes when he heard that, and some responses immediately came to his mind, and said: "Then let's make an appointment to meet in an open place."

This is just right.

As long as a person is alive, he can search for souls.

The truth of the matter cannot be concealed with just a few words.

Sabina nodded and asked: "What about the appointment at the Library of Congress Square? There are not too many people there in the morning and it is very empty. And Mr. Hei is also there, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

Sabina knew the situation in Lingdun better than she did, and Su Lun also felt that the arrangement was okay, and said: "Okay, let's make an appointment there."

Suellen and Sabina quickly dressed up, left a thousand liso for cleaning fees in the room, and hung a cleaning sign at the door.

When the guest room aunt sees the money, she will happily pocket it and then clean it quietly. Instead of gossiping and complaining that two thieves came and stayed all night last night and messed up the room.

The two jumped from the balcony on the fourth floor.

In the deserted alley at the corner of the street, Su Lun took out a steam motorcycle, started it, and drove Sabina speeding through the streets and alleys of the city.

Twenty minutes later, they had arrived at the block next to the Library of Congress Plaza in Franklin District.

I collected the motorcycle in advance and walked all the way, but found nothing unusual.

There is no ambush by high-level professionals, there are not a lot of professionals hiding, everything is normal.

The sky is gray and the morning sun occasionally shines on the square through the clouds.

The fountain was roaring, and a few early pigeons were already looking for food in the square.

When Su Lun came, he happened to watch a homeless boy in tatters and a peaked cap attract a plump pigeon with a few crumbs of bread, then grabbed it and stuffed it into his clothes and ran away quickly.

It's only eight o'clock now, and the square manager hasn't gone to work yet. It's also the best time for the homeless people to catch pigeons and improve their food.

Holding a black umbrella as a crutch, Su Lun walked over with Sabina.

It's not a holiday, so there aren't many people in the square, so you can see everything at a glance.

Parked at the edge of the square was a refrigerated freight truck with the words "Nancheng Meat Factory" spray-painted on it.

There are two people in the cab, both level three professionals.

There are six more in the carriage.

But to Su Lun, there is no threat at all.

Sabina took one look and confirmed: "That's the Red Oak Club's car."

Su Lun nodded and the two walked over.

Sabina attended the ball under the disguise of "Countess Demacula", and there was no need to hide it. The two of them walked over directly.

The people in the car seemed to recognize Sabina, opened the door and got out.

These were two burly men wearing suits and windbreakers. The leader with a scar on his face looked at Sabina and said respectfully: "Dear Madam, we have been brought here for you."

As he said that, he asked the other person to open the truck compartment.

Sabina glanced at it, showing the indifference expected of a high-ranking noble, and asked: "What's going on?"

Scarred Man said: "The person who leaked your information at the dance was Myra Truman from the Red Parrot Trading Company. There were four people participating in the dance, including a driver and a showgirl and maid. But I'm sorry. Unfortunately, the woman failed to hold on during the interrogation and was already dead. In the car were Truman, his two introducers, and several related personnel."

Su Lun was somewhat impressed by the "Red Parrot Trading Company", which was the family company of a large plantation owner in southern Luying. Mainly engaged in the trading of bulk agricultural and animal husbandry products such as crystal cocoa, cotton, and timber, it can be regarded as a century-old wealthy family in the south. Then Truman was considered a first-class rich man even in the imperial capital of Linton.

Sabina remained expressionless as she listened, and asked the scarred man: "Would you mind if my people asked me about the situation in person?"

The scarred man said respectfully: "Of course. Your Excellency sent us to bring this person here to give you an explanation. You can do whatever you want."

Sabina glanced at it, Su Lun, the "bodyguard", naturally understood immediately.

He got into the car directly and closed the compartment door with a bang.

Inside were six people with scars all over their bodies. They were still breathing heavily, but they looked like they had been tortured last night.

Su Lun identified the soul of one of them, and it was indeed the member he met at the dance last night.

Seeing someone coming up, the two still conscious faces immediately showed expressions of despair and pleading.

But Su Lun had no time to waste time with these people.

He took out a sharp dagger and wiped the throats of six people directly.

Six clouds of "grey mist" appeared on the corpse. Su Lun digested it after harvesting it, and immediately understood the conspiracy last night.

The two introducers had no idea and were simply implicated.

Only that Truman was the mastermind.

As Su Lun expected, someone used those imported machines to fish again.

Not only in the Full Moon Ball, but also in many black market channels.

As long as Su Lun pays attention to mechanical news in Lindun City, he will almost come into contact with various versions of "bait".

Once you are interested, you will definitely take the bait.

It was just because Su Lun had only been in Linton for two days. Before he had time to hang out, he went to the dance first.

But here comes the problem. Truman is just a pawn.

He just leaked the news according to the predetermined plan. He would not need to participate later, and he did not know much information.

Furthermore, Su Lun discovered the conspiracy to kill the driver last night. Those behind the scenes knew that the matter was exposed and were very decisive and cut off the line directly.

Every "upline" Truman could contact was silenced.

So, in the end, we don’t know who is behind the scenes.

Of course, it’s okay not to know.

Anyway, Su Lun can guess that there are only a few people who can use a rich man as an informant.

Compared with how things happened, Su Lun was less interested.

On the contrary, he is more concerned about the sequelae.

Since someone could fish for it last night, the information might be leaked.

The good news is that after carefully searching Truman's memory, Suellen found that these people did not know Sabina's identity at the dance.

Just follow specific procedures for fishing.

When the fish takes the bait, move on to the next step, and the ambush will be someone else.

Even the dead driver didn't know that the person in his car was "Countess Demacula".

If it is not exposed, the problem will not be big.

Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief

Su Lun got the information he wanted and deliberately delayed for a while before walking out of the carriage.

It makes people feel that they are not killing people as soon as they go up, but they are really "interrogated" for a while.

However, the two men in suits didn't care what he was doing there.

The information of these people has been extracted and has no value anymore.

Kill the guests if they want.

Seeing Su Lun get out of the car, Sabina immediately understood the meaning behind his indifferent expression.

Now that there are no sequelae, it’s time to pay compensation.

The man with the scar obviously understood, and without waiting for her to look, he said directly: "Your Excellency, I would like to express my sincerest apology to Madam. Your Excellency also said that the subsequent troubles have been dealt with and will never disturb her." Madam, in your life, I also guarantee that such a thing will never happen again at the dance in the future, so please rest assured."

As he spoke, he took out a box, opened it and saw that it was a gold coin with an old pipe pattern printed on it.

Sabina obviously knew what this was, and an imperceptible strange color flashed in her eyes.

The scarred man handed over the gold coin box and said: "My lord, the transaction last night will be carried out in accordance with the contract, and the goods will be shipped normally according to your needs. There is no need to pay for the subsequent goods, as long as it is An apology from our Red Oak. Moreover, your Excellency also asked me to bring this token as a gift of apology for last night’s accident. Please accept it, Madam.”

Su Lun took a look and saw that there was nothing special about it, so he accepted it naturally for Sabina.

The two gang members were very straightforward in their work. After informing them of their intentions, they also agreed on some matters for sea delivery two days later. They did not stay long and drove away directly

After waiting for the truck to disappear around the corner, Su Lun asked curiously: "Is there anything special about this pipe gold coin?"

Thoughts flashed through Sabina's eyes, and she said solemnly: "This is a token. It allows that person to personally solve a problem."

After a pause, she was afraid that Su Lun would not understand the meaning of the gold coin, so she explained: "I have never seen this gold coin before. I just heard that someone once got it at the dance. It seemed to solve a mystery. Big trouble. Although I don’t know exactly what was solved. But there is a legend circulating in the ball that using this gold coin can solve all the troubles in Linton! For example, sir, if you want to sleep with a royal princess, you can use it It."

"That's it"

After Su Lun heard this, he realized that this was how the rumors came from.

And, since it was Sabina who said it, that means there is a high probability that it can really be done?

He looked at the gold pipe coin again and immediately felt that the adventure was worthwhile.

The statement that it can solve all problems is obviously an exaggeration, but it is indeed of immeasurable value.

From attending the dance yesterday to dealing with those leakers today, he acted vigorously and decisively. Su Lun also saw that this was more mysterious and more powerful than the rumors in the world.

At least that batch of imported equipment was worth several billion liso, and they were given away as soon as they were told. The average gang boss did not have such courage.

And after this incident, Su Lun also found out through testing that the dance party was indeed not the same person as the fisherman.

At least for now, it seems there is no hostility towards them.

Outsiders may not know what happened last night, but those who interrogated those people must have guessed why Su Lun needed these equipment.

If the information is well-informed, that person has even guessed that the purchase of equipment by Sabina's disguised "Countess Demacula" may be directly related to "Dawn".

But today they did not send anyone to ambush, but instead apologized. Probably because they really had no interest in the mechanical technology and neuro-mechanical technology in Su Lun's hands.

It may also be because of goodwill, fear, or other reasons.

But with such magnanimity, he is definitely no ordinary gangster.

That person or the force he represents must stand very high.

So tall that he must be one of the people at the top of the Luying Pyramid looking at the scenery.

This made Su Lun more and more curious about his identity.

He even speculated that the Lance family behind Yekaterina might be behind this.

After all, his cheap fiancée is one of the few people in the Luying Empire who meets this condition.

But based on the current intelligence, it seems that the conditions are not fully met.

This is very confusing

Su Lun and Sabina left directly without staying in the square, or even bothering Mr. Black.

They both were in a good mood after receiving good news and a generous reward early in the morning.

Not long after, there was feedback on the news that "Bakchi Biopharmaceutical Company" was producing pharmaceuticals last night.

The new drug is called [Scarlet Potion], and its purpose is to specifically treat the Red Death that is gradually spreading at the bottom of Linton. The original plan was to release the new drug a few days later.

The problem now is that there is no problem with this potion at all.

Furthermore, the major shareholder behind this pharmaceutical company is the Rodriguez family, one of the six major congressmen, and ordinary people are not qualified to stop it.

So normal means cannot prevent Bakchi Company from selling new drugs.

Once sold on a large scale, the number of people contaminated by parasites will increase dramatically.

But Su Lun doesn’t need to worry about this,

He has already passed the news to Catherine.

There is no basis for what others say, but she will definitely believe herself.

Although he didn't know what his fiancée was going to do, Su Lun knew that since the Lance family chose to marry the ambitious Raigadi family, they must have a big plan.

If the imperial power is really controlled by believers of God, it is definitely not what the Lance family wants to see.

Su Lun didn't pay much attention to the [Scarlet Potion] issue, mainly because he wanted to take care of it, and he couldn't get involved in matters at that level.

But his intuition told him that something seemed weird somewhere.

Obviously there is a large pharmaceutical company that produces medicines. If Su Lun had not figured it out in advance with his good tone, large-scale contamination would have become an inevitable fact.

Why would they arrange for gangsters to disperse the potion in advance in an "unnecessary manner"?

Or should such an important person take care of it personally?

He thought about what he had been taught before, that the guy who could control the [Ghost Bride] must be extremely powerful. Even among believers in outer gods, he is probably at the level of cardinal and archbishop.

Intuition made Su Lun feel that there might be something fishy behind this matter that he was not aware of.

But the next full moon dance will be half a moon later.

He asked Sabina to tell the intelligence personnel of the Mirror Organization to investigate the origins of the investigation, and also to investigate what was abnormal in the area where the Vaughan Brotherhood had previously occupied

Everything has been explained, and the rest of the investigation will take time.

Su Lun and Sabina drove to Luying Royal Academy.

I still have business to do today.

He was going to check out the status of the [Isaac Alchemy Manuscript] stored in the Royal Academy, and by the way, he was also going to check out his eldest disciple Jike who had taken it in and let it go.
