Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 444: Some transitions to small talk

A few days later.

Today is the 865th anniversary of the founding of Luying Royal Academy, and it is also the day to commemorate the victory of an ancient war. The college prepared a grand celebration and invited many prominent people from London to attend.

In the evening, Su Lun changed his clothes and waited on the street for Sabina to pick him up and go to the Royal Academy together.

It’s not that he is interested in any celebration party, but Kit plans to go to the Royal Library today to steal the [Isaac’s Alchemy Manuscript]. Su Lun had to be there in person to respond. Also just in case there is any special situation, I can help you deal with it.

Six-ten, exactly as promised. A white Gothic-style steam locomotive decorated with silver horns appeared from the corner, drove over and parked on the street.

The female driver wearing a white condom got out of the car and opened the door respectfully, and Su Lun got on.

As soon as the car door closed, a hot and delicate body clung to it, and there was that soft and tender voice: "Master, I haven't seen you for many days. Do you miss your dearest maid?"

Su Lun smiled and naturally put his hands on the soft waist.

Sabina is wearing a **** black low-cut dress today, which is elegant and full of mature charm. If you look closely, there is a different light in her expression than before.

Su Lun asked: "The colonial clothing has also been successfully integrated?"

I haven’t seen him for so many days. Naturally, after he advanced to the fourth level, he integrated some colonial equipment.

Sabina's face had a charm she had never shown to outsiders, "Yes, thanks to your 'Void Potion', master, the advancement and integration went very smoothly. I am even more powerful now~"

As she spoke, she hugged Su Lun's neck seductively. This posture seemed a little inconvenient and more intimate, so she lifted up her skirt again, exposing her slender legs to the air.

Obviously the carriage was very big, but she stayed stuck together.

Su Lun raised his eyebrows, "More powerful?"

Sabina smiled with her eyebrows curved, "Yes, Master, do you want to try it?"

"Tsk tsk..."

Su Lun didn’t feel bad either.

The charm of the succubus is in the bones, it is the ultimate addictive enjoyment.

His hands were not idle and he asked: "Is there any special information these days?"

Sabiena responded enthusiastically, saying: "Raphael has been particularly active recently after becoming the sixth member of parliament. The biggest thing is to amend the Imperial Arms Act. He used his absolutely crushing technological strength to change Lu Ying The military's arms supply list has now become the number one arms dealer in Luying. For this reason, some old arms families are very resentful and are also secretly obstructing it. However... after three members of Congress were assassinated recently, the public Opposition voices on the Internet have also disappeared."

Su Lun chuckled: "Haha, does the Luying royal family allow such a method?"

Sabina said: "This is also strange. The royal family has no intention of intervening at all. Moreover, there are several senior congressmen secretly supporting Raphael, and they are very confident. Preliminary intelligence shows that it is the Lance family. and the Roberts family."

Su Lun didn’t sound too surprised.

Grand Duke Raphael has been developing for decades, and he has a huge army of super mechanical warriors and super battleships.

Have money, technology, and connections.

The level of military industry is far superior to that of any established arms group in Lu Ying, and they indeed have the strength to challenge the established nobles of the empire.

But...the Lance family?

For some reason, Su Lun suddenly thought of Ekaterina.

The Lance family has been operating in Luying North for so many years and is very strong. Just looking at the layout of the four countries in Beizhou, we know that their plans are very big and they will not simply build bridges for others.

The time Su Lun was killed before, William was on Raphael's super battleship. In other words, the Raigadi family and the Raphael family have long been secretly cooperating.

Now the Lance family is going to marry Raigadi again...

This relationship becomes subtle.

Su Lun also guessed that his identity as "Fick" would be a springboard for Yekaterina to use. But this marriage is just an exchange of interests, and there is nothing to say.

He asked again: "Where is the other information, what is the situation with the Red Death?"

Sabina said: "The situation is very bad. The Red Death suddenly broke out on a large scale, and there are now reports of cases in several large factories south of the Locovalen River. However, the official position has not yet been expressed, and it seems that there are still The news was deliberately suppressed, and the newspapers did not report it accurately. But judging from the data obtained through various channels, the number of infected people is probably quite large."

Su Lun's pupils shrank slightly as he listened.

Sabina continued: "On the other hand, the [Scarlet Potion] produced by 'Bakchi Biopharmaceutical Company' has passed the health review and is being produced vigorously. Several families that previously opposed it, except the Lance family, The Raphael family is still resisting resolutely, and several other major congressmen have compromised. According to the information I have received, it is the top management of the pharmaceutical company who used shares to buy off members of several other families..."

Hearing this, Su Lun also felt that the matter was so serious that there was nothing he could do about it.

After all, if there is no quality problem in the pharmaceutical inspection, there is no reasonable reason to stop production.

Now that interests are used to divide the internal affairs, four of the six congressmen are in favor. Now it is even more impossible to ban [Scarlet Potion] from a policy level.

Sabina said: "And because of the dispersion of ownership, the pharmacy's interest groups have expanded a lot. This also directly led to the perfunctory attitude of those at the top of Congress towards the Red Death, and even meant to allow the spread of the disease. I also got a top-secret record of their high-level meeting. It was said that because there was no specific medicine on the market, the medicine dealers were not in a hurry to put the [Scarlet Medicine] on the market. Instead, they joined forces to hoard it in preparation for the number of infections to increase. , and then release the pharmaceutical monopoly to make huge profits."

When Su Lun heard this, his eyes suddenly became serious.

Those nobles may not necessarily all be believers of the outer god. It was only because of greed that he allowed the Red Death to spread and make huge profits.

Although the Red Death has a high fatality rate, the process is very long and may torture patients for several months before dying in pain.

If it is not controlled, a few months will be enough for this disease to infect Lingdun.

No, it even threatens the entire Luying Empire.

The endgame on the cruise ship was still fresh in his mind, and it was hard for Su Lun to imagine how terrifying the evil **** would be then?

But knowing clearly that this is a conspiracy by an alien **** and still being unable to stop it makes people feel that personal power is really pale.

Lu Ying's aristocratic system is really rotten to the core.

In the eyes of the nobles, the lives of lower-class civilians are probably no different from slaves and livestock. No one cares about their life or death.

This also facilitates the alien god's conspiracy.

Su Lun couldn't think of a better solution, so he asked again: "What about tonight?"

Sabina was obviously well prepared and said: "I just got the list of participants before I came. The Royal Academy invited some alumni of the academy, and there are quite a lot of big shots in London's upper class. Your fiancée Yeka Miss Telina will attend. Oh, and Young Master William of the Raigadi family will also come."

"Oh?"

Su Lun listened with interest.

......

The steam car drove into the gate of the Royal Academy, and Jike had been waiting for a long time.

After making the bomb, he spent the past few days copying various alchemy classics in the academy's library.

Explosives is only a very small branch of pharmacy. Among the tens of thousands of students in the academy, only a handful of them study "munitions science".

However, there are advantages to having fewer people.

A subject that no one pays attention to, the materials are cheap, and the knowledge is also very cheap.

Knowledge books such as advanced alchemy formulas, ancient scrolls, and unique books would require a lot of credits to be exchanged for other majors, but about gunpowder, you can browse them at will in the library.

This is also convenient for Jike.

Whether you understand it or not, you just copied it down.

As soon as he got off the car, Jike, who was waiting by the car door, saluted Su Lun respectfully, with an expression of great reverence: "Teacher!"

He saw Sabina getting off the car together again, and also saluted: "Hello, madam."

Although he is not the "Master's Wife", he doesn't know that this beautiful lady has an extraordinary relationship with the teacher.

Sabina smiled slightly and praised: "Our little Jike is dressed very handsomely today."

Jike was a little shy, "Thank you for your compliment."

He is wearing a punk style dress today.

The fabric is not high-end, and the style is not too special.

The handsomeness is not in the clothes, but in the confidence in his eyes that is completely different from before.

And this confidence comes from Su Lun in front of him.

In the past few days, Jike also went out to read the newspaper from a month ago. After reading it, he realized how terrifying his teacher's combat power was!

In that battle, the Moros city-state shocked the world by defeating 200,000 pirates with one enemy and killing tens of thousands. This was the headline in every page of the London newspaper, and related reports even lasted for half a month.

However, the newspaper reports are only part of it!

Jike spent the past few days making explosives in the small void world. He saw with his own eyes the large-scale war workshop of Su Lun, and then he realized that his teacher was not only powerful, but also had an extremely deep foundation.

Mass production of mechanical battle armor that only the Marfa Empire can manufacture, as well as those mechanical octopus, rune puppet assembly lines...

Everything you see is inspiring.

This is something no one in the Luying Empire can do, not even the royal family.

As a disciple, Jike now knows how powerful his teacher is!

No wonder Mrs. Demakula would say that as a teacher's disciple, her status would never be worse than that of any noble.

This is the source of Jike’s confidence: I have a powerful teacher!

Su Lun looked at his disciple and probably guessed why he saw the sparkle in his eyes, and smiled slightly: "How does the new mechanical prosthetic limb feel?"

What Zeke needs is not a combat prosthesis, so he doesn't need pure silver hands like Barrett. On the contrary, the complex-function robotic arm can better meet daily research needs.

So after Su Lun used materials to make up for the defects in his fingers, he used his superb mechanical knowledge to design an external robotic arm.

It is usually folded on the arm with a thin layer of iron sheet. When unfolded, it becomes a multifunctional robotic arm that can meet the needs of some dangerous experiments.

In this way, even if an accident occurs next time, you can avoid hurting your body to a large extent.

When talking about the robotic arm, Jike raised his left hand. The palm that was originally broken by the explosion has now been completely restored. Because of the bionic skin, it looks no different from a normal palm.

He said excitedly: "Teacher, I feel great, it is exactly the same as my own hand. And the function of the external robotic arm is also very practical. I have never seen such an exquisite robotic arm in the whole of Linton!" ”

Seeing that he wanted to show off his mechanical arm on the spot, Su Lun chuckled and stopped him.

After all, a functional and exclusive robotic arm will become more perfect only after continuous improvement after trying it. He added: "Just get used to it. If you have any other functional requirements, you can tell me. I will ask the mechanics in the workshop to help you modify it."

Jike nodded, "Yeah."

He suddenly thought of something, and his expression darkened inexplicably.

After spending a few days in his teacher's war workshop, Jike saw the most advanced mechanical technology in the world and the senior mechanics of Marfa, which also gave him a deep understanding of the two countries of Luying and Marfa. Huge gap in technology!

There is a sense of loss that comes when a country bumpkin comes to the city and feels a huge gap in everything he looks at.

Let him know that he still has a long way to go.

At this time, Jike said seriously: "Teacher, I have thought carefully about the proposal you mentioned before. I have decided to study in Marfa."

Su Lun was not surprised, "Oh?"

Jike added: "The Royal Academy is indeed the holy land of traditional alchemy, but its research in mechanical engineering and ammunition science is too backward. Only by going to the Marfa Empire can I learn the knowledge I want, and can I Delve deeper into this field."

Su Lun had long known that he would make this choice.

A genius in ammunition science really wasted his talent in Lu Ying, and he felt like a trapped bird in a cage.

The ceiling is too low and you won’t be able to fly high after all.

Although Jike looks pretty good now, he is already shining like a star.

But those are all his talents, a small invention with a flash of inspiration.

Not enough to make him a great ammunition master.

After truly understanding more, Su Lun realized how important systematic knowledge is. That will allow people to avoid too many detours and go further.

Only in the Marfa Empire, there is a complete and mature ammunition division system.

Su Lun said: "Just think about it. The road ahead will be long. Since you have chosen, no matter how difficult it is, you have to walk on your own."

Jike said extremely seriously: "Well! Teacher, I have thought about it!"

Hearing this, Su Lun didn't say much, "Okay. You handle the affairs of the college these days. I will make arrangements for your studies later."

"Yeah."

Jike nodded.

At this time, Sabina on the side cleverly saw the reluctance quietly suppressed under the determined light in Jike's eyes when he spoke. She smiled and asked: "Little Jike, have you invited your classmate Phoebe to dinner recently?"

Hearing this, Jike's eyes suddenly became evasive, and the confidence he had just evaporated, and he stammered: "Ah... no... no."

If there was anything he couldn't let go of at the Royal Academy, it was his only friend Phoebe.

Sabina didn't understand, and said with a smile: "True love will not fade due to distance and time, but will become more and more mellow. As long as the girl agrees, I will personally deliver the invitation to her family. ”

Jike has no family members.

As the master's disciple, she is considered an elder herself, so she naturally has to care a little bit.

Sabina's words were too straightforward. Jike was at a loss for a moment and said in a panic: "Ah... Madam, I... Phoebe and I are not what you think..."

He wanted to say that he and Phoebe were friends, but others might not think otherwise.

The girl’s thoughts were hidden from Sabina when they met outside the small auditorium that day. She didn't have those youthful coquettishness, and said bluntly: "Be brave, that little girl actually likes you quite a lot. Please invite her to dance at the dance later."

Sabina originally planned to invite the little girl to her home for dinner as an elder, but she was busy advancing to the fourth level recently and didn't take the time to do so.

I just have an opportunity today, so I will help facilitate this matter.

Otherwise, if you really have to wait for Jike to speak on your own, you might miss it.

Hearing this, Jike was still a little hesitant.

Because he has lived a very humble life in the academy for more than a year.

He was so humble that apart from the small sense of achievement in his studies, he felt that anything else was a luxury.

But I was thinking that I might go to the Marfa Empire to study in the future, and if I didn't say anything, this separation might last a lifetime.

Jike then plucked up the courage and responded: "Oh."

ps. It’s a little stuck, sorry for the water.
