Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 461: The second full moon dance
The finished product of [Isaac’s Giant Power] exceeded expectations, and Su Lun was in a good mood.
It was rare that his senior sister was by his side, so he shamelessly stayed in the apartment for two more days, eating and drinking, and absorbing the insights of a top-level professional.
After advancing to the sixth level, all aspects of law perception have indeed improved a lot, and the understanding of the world has become much clearer.
But in the field of alchemy, it does not mean that the higher the rank, the less doubts you have. On the contrary, there are more and more, and the problems encountered are becoming more and more profound.
Fortunately, Mr. Jing, a great master, is by his side. He can solve almost any of Su Lun's questions and guide him to some blind spots in the field of top professionals.
This also allowed Su Lun to have a more accurate plan for his career future.
After getting along with her for a few days, I have to mention that my senior sister’s [Mirror Guardian] talent is really buggy.
Unlike Su Lun's [Death Reaper] talent, which directly strips away other people's experience, Mr. Mirror's S talent lies in "mirror copying."
Everything she has ever seen can be copied. Even if you can't understand it temporarily, the second solution state can be forcibly copied and stored in your own mirror field.
Book knowledge, alchemy, sights, sounds, martial arts, laws and everything.
It's like she "knows" Dragon Language, which is the ability to copy her father Sir Isaac.
So much so that she herself is a mobile database, and as her knowledge grows, she will store more and more knowledge and become stronger and stronger.
She can slowly digest and understand some of what she needs. Those that are less important can be copied and stored and retrieved when needed.
And this time there is another big plus, that is, Su Lun found [The Eleventh Sefirah of the Universe] for her.
This top-notch extraordinary material has copied the thousand-year collection of the Luying Royal Library, so that Mr. Jing now has an entire library of knowledge in his database!
In other words, Su Lun's question may involve knowledge that Mr. Jing doesn't know.
But if you ask her, 99% of the time you can find the answer in the database
On this day, night falls.
Su Lun and Mr. Jing had dinner in the apartment, and then he went out and rode his motorcycle to the foot of the Rington Tower on the banks of the Locovalen River.
Today is the day of the Full Moon Ball again. He plans to go to the lobby to check the news, buy some materials, and then thank the "Shadow Lord" in person.
The night comes very early in Lingtong this season, and the sky is completely dark when it's only after six o'clock.
An orange light lit up on the side of the road, and Su Lun leaned on the railing, looking at the raging Rokovalen River and the steam cruise ships passing by on the river.
At this moment, soft footsteps came from my ears, as if someone was approaching quietly.
Su Lun didn’t look back either.
Suddenly, a pair of extremely soft touches pressed against his back. The person behind him covered his eyes affectionately and asked in a narrow and cheerful tone: "Sir, guess who I am?"
Su Lun also pretended not to know and chuckled: "Countess Demacula?"
As a maid, he always likes to play a little role-playing, and he also finds it quite interesting.
The man behind him said again: "Oh, my doctor, how did you guess it?"
Su Lun smiled and said nothing.
He didn't want to talk about soul perception, but he recognized the heavy touch immediately.
Sabina no longer hid behind her, tilted her head and laughed, and Su Lun saw that charming face appearing in front of her eyes.
Because she was going to a dance, Sabina wore a very **** low-cut long skirt under her windbreaker, which felt great.
She looked at Su Lun, with emotion in her beautiful eyes, and asked: "Wow, Master, have you advanced to the sixth level?"
Su Lun knew that she was obviously asking the question knowingly, but she still replied: "Yes."
Others may not know it clearly, but as her personal intelligence officer, Sabina must know that he has not shown up in the past few days because he is advancing to the sixth level.
Hearing this, God Sabina hugged Su Lun's neck, her delicate body was close to her, and she blinked ambiguously, "Ah, that means that the master can help your little maid realize the high level. The law of order?"
Su Lun looked helpless and reminded: "This is a public place."
Sabina's eyes were as charming as silk, and she gave Su Lun a hot and soft hug, and whispered in her ear: "I miss you Master so much."
Su Lun hugged her soft waist and smiled helplessly.
The charm of the succubus is so sweet that you will always be in a honeypot
As soon as the agreed time arrived, a black car appeared at the corner of the street.
Suellen and Sabina got into the car.
Not long after, the car made twists and turns in the city of Linton and appeared in the southern suburbs.
The location of this dance was not on a steam airship, but in a deserted place.
Su Lun and Sabina got out of the car wearing masks and looked at their surroundings.
Dead trees, black crows, tombstones, rusty iron fences and an old castle that looks dilapidated.
The hazy moonlight tonight gives the castle a somewhat terrifying atmosphere.
However, Su Lun was much calmer than last time.
Since the last battle on Parrot Street, the "Shadow Lord" stepped in to help him a lot, and he also had an understanding of the Full Moon Ball.
So no matter how remote the location is, he will not feel any sense of crisis.
Judging from the energy displayed by the organizers last time, if they really want to harm anyone, they don't need these methods at all.
As soon as they got out of the car, just like last time, a charming and exclusive maid led Su Lun and the two of them into the castle.
Completely different from the dilapidated scene outside, it is a glorious sight after entering.
The red carpet was rolled out to the ball hall, and there were still all kinds of extremely luxurious decorations along the way.
Su Lun probably guessed the identity of the "Shadow Lord" and finally understood why the Full Moon Ball had such exaggerated financial resources.
The music is soothing and the light is dark.
Su Lun and Sabina danced a dance, and not long after, everyone arrived.
This time there were more people at the dance than last time, with hundreds of guests.
In his soul perception, he also recognized several Lu Ying dignitaries he had met.
There was a performance by the Royal Ballet at the beginning. After skipping, the "Shadow Lord" wearing a golden mask finally appeared. The dying old man still only said an opening statement, and then the guests exchanged information and resources with each other.
"I need shares of [Scarlet Potion], the more the better, any conditions are negotiable."
"Does anyone have information about the mechanical weapons that severely damaged the Rodriguez family's Golden Heavy Armor Knights on Parrot Street that day? Smuggling channels, drawings, finished products, anything will do, and the price is negotiable."
"I happen to have some resources in hand for the "New Arms Purchase Bill" proposed by Archduke Raphael in Congress yesterday, and I want to find an intermediary to connect him"
"I heard that the Rodriguez family recently wanted to sell part of its property"
""
Su Lun was not too surprised when he heard the news.
The two most exciting news in Linton recently are the 'Red Death' and the [Scarlet Potion].
This has almost become a carnival feast for the nobles.
As long as anyone can get a small share of the medicine, they can immediately get back several times or even dozens of times in return.
The Red Death did not attract the attention of the nobles, because they did not lack medicine, and the disease did not pose any threat even if they contracted it. Even in upper-class circles, it has recently become popular to regard [Scarlet Potion] as a hallucinogen orgy.
The other thing is the aftermath of the previous battle on Parrot Street.
The Rodriguez family is in great turmoil. The "Sixth Councilor" Archduke Raphael takes the lead, and the three councilors, Lance and Roberts, secretly unite. All forces are eating away at the flesh and blood of this behemoth.
Su Lun listened for a while and found nothing of interest, so he went directly to the rest area.
He had also heard from Sabina before that the "Shadow Lord" rarely interfered in dance matters in recent years. Even if members have entrustments, almost all of them are handled by the deacons. Few people could speak directly to him.
But Su Lun walked over, and the old butler in a tuxedo didn't ask anything and just led him over.
The rest area has soundproofing restrictions. As soon as you enter, you will immediately fall into absolute silence.
Su Lun saw the old man who was silently paying attention to the dance in his seat, and made a chest-protecting salute: "Dear Mr. Shadow Lord, thank you for your help last time. ”
He used honorifics.
Because this is a respectable person.
If he guessed correctly, the name of this "Shadow Lord" might be "Pierre Ray Polnareff".
This name may not be heard by ordinary people, but it is well known in the professional field.
Because this is a ninth-level professional.
A great alchemist whose character and strength are universally recognized.
This is also the top powerhouse that Mr. Jing said he wanted to visit before.
Seeing Su Lun salute, the old man wearing a mask smiled, as if he was not surprised that he would come, "You are so polite, little friend. Please sit down."
As he spoke, he motioned to his legs and explained: "I'm sorry, it's not convenient for me to move with my old bones, so I'm a little rude."
"Sir, you are too kind."
Su Lun knew that the old man was explaining why he had been sitting, and he was slightly surprised.
I could walk normally half a month ago, but now I can only sit in a wheelchair.
Now it seems that his time is really running out.
Even as one of the strongest men in the world, this person does not reveal any overwhelming aura of strength and status. As approachable as an ordinary old man.
Before Su Lun could speak, the old man did not hide his appreciation in his tone. He chuckled and said: "I have also heard about my little friend's deeds. I have always wanted to meet the best alchemist of our younger generation in Lu Ying. I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence that you also came to the dance, but it’s also fate.”
Hearing this, Su Lun quickly said: "You have given me the reward."
This would make him feel at ease if others praised him, but in front of this person, he would not dare to boast.
After a pause, he added: "If Mr. Ming hadn't come to the rescue before, I wouldn't be able to thank you here today."
The old man smiled and said, "I think my little friend's methods are more than that. Even if I don't take action, at most you will get out of trouble, and you will definitely not fall into a desperate situation. What's more, since I gave you the Pipes, gold coins, and dance parties are also obligated to show up."
Su Lun smiled slightly and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.
He was thinking about how to speak and ask his question.
At this time, the old man took the initiative to ask: "How is Mr. Jing, the leader of your organization, doing lately? I have heard about the philosophy of your organization and it is very good. I have great ideals and ambitions to rekindle the dawn of alchemical civilization. It's a pity. If it had been earlier, I would have really wanted to get involved."
Su Lun heard the heroic lateness in this tone.
After a few simple conversations, he was now 100% sure that Master Pierre was in front of him!
Thinking about the commission from her senior sister, Su Lun did not hide it, and continued the topic: "Mr. Jing, everything is fine. She also asked me to make an unkind request to you first. I want to talk to Mr. Please meet and exchange some experiences on professional practice."
Hearing this, the old man's tone instantly became louder, "Oh~ of course! It is my honor to communicate with the descendants of the 'Alchemy Demigod' Sir Isaac."
Su Lun was not surprised to hear that he had guessed Mr. Jing’s identity.
After all, this is not only a ninth-level professional who has lived for a long time, but there is information that he is also the royal minister who founded the Luying Military Intelligence Agency!
The Luying Military Intelligence Department is now in the hands of this old man. It can be said that he has mastered almost all the hidden power of the Luying royal family.
Now it seems that Ling Dun, the "King of the Underground Gangs", is also the tip of the iceberg of that power.
Sabina has had many encounters with the Military Intelligence Agency before. The more she tests her, the more she learns about the terror of the Military Intelligence Agency and its ability to even influence the succession of imperial power.
The old man said: "It's a pity that I can't move very easily. If the leader of your organization doesn't mind, I would like to invite her to be a guest in my humble home and drink a few cups of tea."
Su Lun said: "I will come to visit you. Mr. Jing asked me to express my most sincere respect to you, sir, and that is what I mean."
The two chatted for a few more words, and the atmosphere was very friendly.
Su Lun felt that it was very relaxing to talk to Master Pierre. There was nothing aggressive, superior, or cautious about him.
Because of this atmosphere, Su Lun spoke again: "Sir, can you ask a very presumptuous question?"
The old man seemed to have guessed something, but he did not refuse, "Of course."
Su Lun said directly: "Since you are so powerful, why did you allow the Red Death and the conspiracy of the Giant Priory to spread?"
He confirmed that the old man in front of him was not a believer of an alien god, and that the alien **** was not necessarily as powerful as him.
But why let it go?
Hearing this question, the old man pondered for a moment, unable to hide his disappointment, and said: "When I found out, it had already spread. If I take action, I have a chance to kill the foreign **** in the bud. But I am not sure of it completely. Erase, once it cannot be killed, it will be buried deeper. And as you can see, I only have one chance to take action. So the current situation is that both sides are betting. I bet that it will be completely exposed when it grows up, and he bets that I can't kill Him."
After a pause, he added another meaningful sentence, "Besides, this matter is not something I can fully control."
Hearing this, Su Lun frowned slightly.
The "Freedom of Belief Act" was signed by the Queen herself, which means that the royal family is the biggest supporter of the conspiracy of the alien gods.
When the old man said this, he completely understood.
Su Lun didn't feel much fluctuation in his heart. He just felt that the intrigues and intrigues in politics were really boring.
The old man answered this question, obviously a little out of energy.
Su Lun also noticed something. After expressing his gratitude again, he took the initiative to say goodbye and left
When Su Lun came out of the rest room, the dance party entered a private communication session.
The sound of melodious dance music sounded, and pairs of men and women in costumes danced side-by-side on the dance floor, communicating what they needed.
Su Lun originally wanted to go dance with Sabina and find some sources of materials. But at this moment, a familiar soul wave was discovered in the soul perception.
"Why is she here?"
Su Lun also felt a little surprised. He looked over and happened to be looking at a woman wearing a crystal mask.
Although the beautiful purple hair was obscured by the magic barrier, Su Lun still recognized that this person was Ekaterina whom she had met before at the Royal Academy.
When he looked over, his eyes happened to be in contact.
Ekaterina came over. She naturally recognized Su Lun and asked softly: "Can you invite me to dance?"
Su Lun bowed as a gentleman and said, "Of course."
He took the outstretched jade hand, and there was a hint of coldness in the softness.
The Full Moon Ball has a very high class, and its members are almost all aristocrats and wealthy people from the upper class.
But it does not include top dignitaries like the Lance family who have large parliamentary seats.
Because the top-level nobles' own channels are enough to solve all problems, and there is no need for such an intermediate platform controlled by others.
Su Lun also guessed why he met Ekaterina here.
As long as any one of the six members of Congress can get the support of the old man who organized the ball, he may even have the ability to directly usurp imperial power!
But currently all the major forces in Lu Ying are fighting for support, but this old man is loyal to Lu Ying and no one can win over him.
Maybe she came here to try?
After meeting and saying something, the two of them didn't speak for a long time.
The dance music is very warm, and the dance steps are also very intimate court ballroom dances.
But the two of them danced a bit like strangers.
But I have to say that Ekaterina’s dance is indeed beautiful.
She was wearing a plain white palace dress embellished with silver, as elegant as a dancing white swan.
Even more graceful and impeccable than the professional dancers of the Royal Ballet that just opened.
Even wearing a mask, her graceful figure and graceful dancing postures attracted many admiring and approving glances at the dance.
But the atmosphere between the two dancing people was a bit strange.
Su Lun hugged her slender waist and clapped her hands in circles from time to time. Thinking of something, he asked: "Why are you here?"
Ekaterina's dance steps were not messy at all, and she responded: "Come and see the dance. I'd like to do some business with you by the way."
Su Lun said: "Oh?"
He was wondering what the "look at the dance" meant, and listened to Yekaterina directly express her demand, "I need the mechanical blueprints you have to deal with the heavily armored knights."
Su Lun knew that he would never suffer a loss in trading with her, so he didn’t ask her what she would pay in exchange, and directly agreed, "Okay."
That kind of blueprint belongs to Marfa, and it is not an exclusive secret map. It is good to exchange it for money.
But obviously, he also knew that if it was just a drawing, the eldest lady of the Lance family would never have to come to see him in person.
At this time, Ekaterina spoke again: "If possible, I need the 'neuro-mechanical technology' in your hands."
""
Hearing this, Su Lun's eyes narrowed slightly, but he was not in a hurry to agree.
This technology is very complex, and it is not just a matter of drawings, but also the accumulation of relevant resources, such as researchers and equipment.
Otherwise, even if someone takes it, it will be useless for a short period of time but cannot be used.
It is difficult to say that Lu Ying's backward technological level is useful.
Before he could think about it, Ekaterina explained: "I have already mastered part of the neuromechanical technology and part of the scientific researchers, but it is almost impossible to get the complete ones. Now the political situation in Luying has changed, and time is running out. , that’s why I came to ask you.”
The tone sounded sincere and there was no attempt to hide it at all.
Moreover, this time, she directly stated the terms of exchange: "My Lance family controls the shares of Luying's largest mining group, and I can provide all kinds of strategic metals. Armand alloy, magic pattern brass, dragon Blood black iron, silver tungsten steel, magic pattern steel, etc., the total amount of refined metal exceeds 10,000 tons. This is what was left from the previous military factory in Karafiel. If you need it, there are still hundreds of thousands of tons of raw ore."
When Su Lun heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought.
He was indeed tempted.
This smart woman really made an offer that he couldn't refuse.
Ekaterina knew that Su Lun had neuromechanical technology and the ability to forge mechanical armor, but she must be lacking key materials.
In Luying, all major rare metal deposits are in the hands of top nobles. It is impossible for Su Lun to buy such a large amount in the market!
Even if the Thunder Cat Chamber of Commerce looks for resources from everywhere, as she just said, it will take at least ten or eight years to gather them together.
With this batch of materials arriving, Sullun's war workshop can immediately produce mechanical armor puppets on a large scale.
The blueprints belong to the enemy, so he doesn't feel any loss if he gives them to his allies, not to mention that he can get so many resources in exchange.
Su Lun thought for a while and said decisively: "Okay. But I also want a 'Gusmao airship'."
The Guthmaor airship is a simplified version of the [Sky Battle Fortress].
Now that Su Lun has the [Energy Core of the Goblin Sky Battle Fortress] and the complete battle fort blueprint in his hands, he is also thinking about getting one of those ancient mechanical floating cities to serve as a base for Dawn.
But it is almost impossible to completely build a new battle fort. Just like rebuilding a city, it costs countless resources, which is simply not what Su Lun and the current Dawn can afford.
Getting an airship for modification will greatly save the initial efficiency.
After hearing this, Yekaterina hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I can promise you first. But it will take some time. At present, the Luying military does not have many finished ships."
"Yeah."
Su Lun nodded.
Originally it was just to test the price, but Ekaterina agreed so unexpectedly.
A few drawings were exchanged for a bunch of resources. Su Lun knew that she was obviously careless on purpose.
This actually made Su Lun feel like he was taking advantage and owed someone a favor.
The party is still going on, and everyone is busy with their transactions.
But no one expected that in a corner of the venue, Su Lun and Ekaterina reached a huge deal with just a few words.
There is no written deed, no notary, no mortgage procedures, just a few words.
After meeting him several times, Su Lun gradually gained a new understanding of this former friend.
I have to admit that this Ekaterina is definitely someone who does great things.
In her, Su Lun saw an aura of superiority that no one had ever given him.
The deal was concluded in a few words, and the two fell into silence for a long time.
Su Lun hugged her and spun her around, then asked again: "What do you want to do?"
Ekaterina said calmly: "If you really want to know, I will answer you."
Su Lun immediately said: "Forget it."
It was just a casual question, he didn’t expect to hear any serious answer
After midnight, the full moon dance ends.
Su Lun and Sabine took the organizer's motorcycle back to the city.
I went there and learned a lot.
The materials have been obtained and the senior sister’s commission has been completed.
Su Lun felt in a good mood.
Getting off the car and watching the motorcycle drive away, Sabina clung to it and asked coquettishly: "Master, where are we going now?"
Su Lun thought about it and said: "I plan to meet Reina and give her some securities and stocks."
There are a lot of things going on lately. I finally got out of the house today. If I don’t deal with it quickly, I don’t know how long it will be delayed.
"Okay!"
Sabina didn’t know what she thought of when she heard this, she smiled with her eyebrows crooked, and added: “Then let’s go there now?”
Sounding it as a question, she had already dialed Reina’s communicator.
After asking about the situation, Sabina looked at Su Lun, shrugged and said, "Leina said she is dealing with some urgent matters at the Chamber of Commerce and will not be able to go back until about an hour later."
"Oh."
Su Lun thought about going to eat something first.
Sabina blinked and then said, "But I have the key. Reina asked us to go back and wait for her."
Su Lun also felt that there was nothing wrong with it, "Okay!"
The two of them rode their motorcycles along the road along the Locovalen River and soon arrived at Lena's apartment.
Upstairs, Sabina looked familiar. She took out the key and opened the door directly.
As soon as he entered the door, Su Lun felt a burning sensation clinging to his delicate body.
Sabina turned into a succubus, exuding an alluring pink fragrance, "Master, you have advanced to the sixth level, can you help this slave to improve her state of mind?"
It is midnight and the moonlight is charming.
Getting better with time.
It was a mess all the way from the door to the house.
Su Lun lay on his back and chose a position that made him feel very relaxed.
With Sabina, he never had to think about anything.
The secret revision was in full swing, and suddenly, Sabina asked: "Master, is the lady who danced with you at the ball before, your fiancée?"
Su Lun asked curiously: "Do you recognize all of these?"
Sabina smiled and said: "That's right. Master, your fiancée, your slaves will naturally have to pay more attention to her."
At this point, the corners of her eyebrows flashed with a mysterious arc, and she added: "But having said that, Miss Ekaterina's figure and dancing posture are really beautiful."
As Su Lun listened, he recalled the scene of the previous dance in his mind. Although there was no fluctuation, he had to admit that the appearance of the young lady from the Lance family was indeed nothing to criticize.
The thought disappeared in a flash, and suddenly, he saw Sabina, the second succubus talent in front of him, suddenly change in radiance, and her **** wavy red hair turned into shiny purple hair in an instant.
Looking again, her charming face suddenly turned into a beautiful girl's face.
Not only her hair and appearance, but also her plumpness has lost three points.
From top to bottom, his bones, figure, and dimensions have completely changed.
In the blink of an eye, the succubus, who was as ripe as a peach, turned into a beautiful and proud noble lady.
Su Lun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but didn't say anything.
Although he knew Sabina had this talent before, he didn't want to use it for this kind of thing.
Because it always feels weird.
What's more, Sabina's own temperament, figure and appearance are already the most perfect conditions for a partner.
The succubus also has big bonus points.
Change other people, but a few points worse.
Sabina clearly felt something and said unexpectedly: "Huh? Master, you don't seem to like her very much. Oh, Miss Ekaterina is obviously very beautiful, why wouldn't Master like her?"
Su Lun didn't explain because he didn't know why.
Sabina blinked and her hair began to change color again.
Su Lun thought she was going to change back.
The changes were changing, and Su Lun's eyes froze.
It was a cold and arrogant face.
Hey, hey, hey, you can just change into Ekaterina, why do you want to change into this one?
This posture actually gave Su Lun a feeling of dilemma, "Stop playing with this."
Sabina was confused again: "Ah, sir, you don't like it? But the little master seems to like it very much?"
Su Lun: ""
Sabina has no intention of stopping, "Don't worry, the leader won't know. Just give it a try. It should be quick, hee"
""
Su Lun felt that it was extremely ridiculous.
What’s even more ridiculous is that Sabine was right.
