Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 469: Desecration of the Crown

Suellen and Ekaterina walked out of the room.

At this moment, hundreds of reporters from dozens of newspapers in Luying have been waiting for a long time at the gate of Melcher Seth Manor.

Looking at the two people coming out, various cameras took random pictures of them.

The wedding of the prince and princess will definitely attract much attention, and this is also the big news that will definitely appear on the headlines of major newspapers tomorrow.

Su Lun is wearing a classic noble military uniform and has an extraordinary appearance.

Ekaterina looks stunning in a black diamond dress and has an unworldly temperament.

Not only outsiders, but also most of the Lance family saw their young lady dressed up like this for the first time. This was the first time I saw Prince Fike.

As soon as the two people appeared, they stunned all the onlookers.

"Wow...His Royal Highness is so handsome!"

"Princess Catherine is more beautiful than the legend says, my God, they are so perfect for each other."

"Any shot is the most beautiful photo. Oh, how lucky I am to be invited to such a dream wedding..."

"..."

Both of them are outstanding in appearance and temperament. This is a newlywed couple that others will think is a perfect match at first glance.

It is really like the fairy tale that most people in Luying have heard since childhood. The beautiful princess married the handsome prince, which has a bit of romance.

A golden carriage is parked on the street, pulled by eight horses with bright white coats. This is an antique from hundreds of years ago. Only important members of the royal family are eligible to use this carriage to participate in celebrations.

Su Lun helped Ekaterina get into the carriage very gentlemanly, and then he followed suit.

Although he has long been aware of being a qualified tool man, Su Lun still feels slightly uncomfortable with being in the spotlight.

I am used to walking in the dark, and suddenly encountering the bright sunshine, it seems that I am not in the same world anymore.

......

The marriage procedures for top nobles are very cumbersome.

The two of them had to take a golden carriage for a spin on the main street of Linton City, then go to Frederick's Palace to receive the Queen's blessing, and then go to the "Zosimos Alchemy Temple" to hold a ceremony. , followed by a reception and a thank you dinner...

In short, the whole day is fully planned.

The carriage galloped on the Central Avenue of Lingtong, and soon passed the Lingtong Iron Bridge. People in various costumes lined the road to welcome them, red carpets were paved, and gorgeous flowers surrounded both sides of the street.

The task of Suellen and Ekaterina was to show their faces in the carriage and parade through the streets, and then wave to people and smile.

It is quite a boring process, and it will last for several hours. The laughter can make one’s face freeze.

"噔唔", "噔唔", "噔唔"...

The most common sound in my ears was the rhythmic stamping of eight horses.

It seems that they got to know each other again in the room before, and the atmosphere between the two in the carriage was good.

Su Lun also discovered that he and Ekaterina actually got along quite happily together with the previous meetings.

It's not that they have the kind of trust between close friends, it's just that Ye's emotional intelligence is so high that you know she may have ulterior motives, but you can't feel a trace of disgust. What she pays must be more than what you get.

Su Lun also saw that Ekaterina had a higher level of pursuit in her eyes.

It was so high that it seemed like everything was out of her sight right now.

At least in her eyes, this wedding has the same attitude as Su Lun, it is purely a process to achieve a certain goal.

How to describe it...

The temperament of a superior person?

That's probably what it feels like.

Just like when playing chess, she looks at all problems on the chessboard from a bird's eye view.

Su Lun feels that Ekaterina will definitely be a very good leader in the future.

But it doesn’t matter.

Aristocrats come and go through intrigues.

......

Suellen has no interest in politics at all.

But riding in a carriage for several hours was really boring, so I had to find something to talk about.

He then asked: "Miss Ekaterina, what state are you in now?"

There isn't much to talk about. We just happened to be alone, so I asked about something interesting.

Su Lun is indeed curious about Ye's strength.

Last time in the city-state of Moros, her mysterious technique of falling meteors from the sky directly destroyed the Temple of Agapanaon, which was a stroke of genius.

This method is something that most top professionals cannot do.

When Yekaterina heard this, she had no intention of hiding it.

She still had a smile on her pretty face in response to the passersby on the roadside, but she said: "Currently, I am at the sixth level. But because I entered the holy realm through the 'poetry' path, I can enter the seventh level at any time. It's just that My understanding of the field is not perfect enough, so I don’t plan to advance in a hurry.”

"Oh."

Su Lun looked slightly different when he heard this.

He thought that he was one of those professionals with great opportunities and outstanding talents. But now there is no hope at the seventh level threshold, and he may even be stuck here for the rest of his life.

As a result, this person said that he can advance "at any time"?

The understatement of the word "holy realm" in Yekaterina's mouth also made Su Lun envious.

Poetry is also one of the ways to condense the divine personality.

I asked Mr. Jing before if there was any shortcut to advance to the seventh level, and she said there was.

The most reliable shortcut is to "become a saint".

Like Senjo’s “Sword Master”, and the “Poet Master” in front of me.

The world contains countless extraordinary laws. If you grasp one of them, you can go further.

After entering the Holy Realm, with the domineering ability to control all things, it is almost 100% possible to understand one's own "domain" and advance to the seventh level.

What other prophecies, disasters, kingship, wisdom, healing, magic, war, death...etc.

This is a deeper understanding of the laws of all things that goes beyond the surface.

It can be said that before the seventh level of a professional, it is like looking for gold in the sand, with bits and pieces here and there;

After the seventh level, you can clearly understand the direction of the mineral veins and truly grasp the extraordinary law.

Even though Su Lun has such a deep understanding of the law of death, he still has not touched the ethereal "holy realm".

You can imagine that this road is very difficult.

Thousands of thoughts in Su Lun's mind turned into a sincere sigh: "Miss Ekaterina is so amazing."

"It's not that great."

Hearing this, Yekaterina seemed to have thought of something and smiled slightly: "And it's also thanks to Mr. Su Lun. Because I met you, I was able to enter the holy realm smoothly."

"???"

Su Lun’s head was filled with questions.

This realization is not based on oneself, what does it have to do with others?

Ekaterina obviously guessed what he was thinking, and explained: "Do you still remember the time we met at the Emerald Holy Land of the Daru Tribe? That time we saw the complete poem volume of [Essian's Poems] , I gradually realized the true meaning of poetry. As for your relationship with Mr. Su Lun...because Katyusha wrote you in her poems."

Su Lun frowned slightly and murmured softly: "Katyusha..."

Ekaterina seemed to have thought of something, but there was no fluctuation in her eyes.

Their tone sounded as if there was a third person in this shared experience.

The carriage was quiet for a moment.

Su Lun seems to understand a little bit.

But he also confirmed that this poetry approach was not something he could dream about.

Shrugging, he asked casually: "Does Miss Ekaterina know of any foreign objects that can assist in understanding the field?"

I asked Mr. Mirror before, and she also said that some cursed objects do have this effect, but they are extremely rare.

Thinking about the background of an old noble family like the Lance family, they may have it, or they may have heard of it.

Hearing this, Ekaterina hesitated, glanced at him, and asked: "You really want me to say it?"

Su Lun listened with doubts in his eyes.

What does this mean, is there really one?

But there seems to be something in the words.

He said: "Of course."

Hearing this, a strange color flashed across Yekaterina's face, and she said directly: "Rega Land used to be the Marfa royal family, and they had a special inherited sacred object - [The Crown of Blasphemy]. It is said that this The crown has the extraordinary property of dominating all things, and has the effect of blessing imperial rule. And more importantly, it is a special cursed object that can greatly enhance the professional's understanding of the field. Because of this inherited sacred object, it has been passed down through the ages. Almost all the heads of the Leijiadi family can successfully advance to the seventh level. Very few people know this secret, and I only learned about it from my teacher..."

"Oh?"

Su Lun felt happy and asked the right person.

It turned out to be the inherited sacred object of the Raigadi family.

As the royal family that once ruled Marfa for hundreds of years, Lei Jiadi’s background is no worse than that of the Luying royal family. Some special treasures are too normal.

However, even if this thing exists, I feel like I can’t get it.

Although the original owner's surname was "Lejiadi", Su Lun's relationship with those guys was not good.

But obviously, there is something more hidden.

Speaking of this, Yekaterina changed the topic and said directly: "However, only the head of the Leijiadi family, or the first heir, is qualified to touch this crown."

"..."

When Su Lun heard this, she immediately understood why she hesitated just now.

Because if you say this, people will die.

Previously, the Fog Moon Coup involved the Kingdom of Raigadi, and several branches of the family were at war with each other, leaving only two sons of the head of the family, Kelsen.

One is the eldest son William.

The other one is "Fick".

What's more subtle is that Su Lun now knows that Ekaterina is not just an ordinary princess of the Lance family. She is one of the most outstanding people she has ever seen in terms of ambition and strength.

She and the Lance family behind her have big plans, so how can they be satisfied with just marrying a second son?

Obviously, from a profit point of view, it is more in the interest to marry the first heir.

But the fact is, she chose "Fick".

Although there must be many twists and turns, Su Lun has roughly figured it out.

That is, if we really have to infer from the perspective of ultimate interests, only when the young William dies, the marriage of the Lance family will maximize its benefits!

But the problem is, whoever kills that William is going to be in big trouble.

The Raigadi family is not someone to be trifled with. Apart from the two royal families of the empire, they are the strongest established aristocracy.

Whoever dares to kill him will inevitably attract devastating revenge.

However, only "Fick" can't do it.

Brothers fighting for position and turning against each other are not surprising in aristocratic circles.

Even if William is really killed, Fick will become the sole heir and will not suffer any backlash.

Absolutely perfect.

.......

What Yekaterina said just now is simply a clear statement: kill William quickly, and only by killing can you get the treasure.

That's why she hesitated just now.

After talking about this, Su Lun and Ekaterina looked at each other, and seeing the calm smile in her eyes, they also smiled knowingly.

Although they didn't say it out loud, they both understood each other.

Su Lun knows very well, but if the Lance family really wants to plot against him, there must be more covert means to lead to the same goal.

But Ye now speaks out.

This move turned all mistrust into smoke.

What’s more, the enmity between Su Lun and William started before they met Ekaterina.

Regardless of whether it would benefit a third party, once given the opportunity, he would definitely kill the young William who murdered him twice.

What’s more, I’ve heard about the treasure now.

Su Lun was not interested in the inheritance of the kingdom at all. Instead, he was thinking about when he would have the opportunity to identify the attributes of the [blasphemous crown].

But as he thought about it, a strange idea came to his mind: He only agreed to the marriage, but had no intention of playing any power-fighting game with them. If William was killed later, how would the Lance family seize power?

Ekaterina seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. At this time, she said another meaningful sentence, "I will only get married once in my life, and I will only have one man. So in the future If you hear anything, just don’t be too surprised."

"???"

Su Lun was confused and didn't know why she suddenly said such a thing.

I turned my head and looked over, and happened to look at that beautiful face and responded with a gentle smile, "You will know later."

The calmness and depth in her crystal eyes made Su Lun suddenly feel like he was back when they were playing chess just now.

From the first step of her move, she seemed to have already thought of the chess game many moves ahead.

Su Lun still didn’t understand what he just said.

It happened that the carriage stopped at this time.

Like a qualified newlywed wife, Yekaterina hugged Su Lun's arm and said: "Let's go, get out of the car. It's time for us to go to the palace to receive the Queen's blessing."

Hearing this, the helplessness on Su Lun's face disappeared, and he smiled like a gentleman: "Yeah."

......

The golden carriage stopped at the gate of Frederick's Palace.

Su Lun got out of the car first, holding Ekaterina's delicate hand and welcoming her out as well.

The two people, surrounded by a group of people, slowly walked towards the palace.

With white walls and sapphire blue spiers, this is a majestic and spectacular building complex.

As Su Lun walked, he put all his strength into his perception, and his left eye also shone with light.

Walking all the way into the palace, he saw too many magic restrictions. Those dangerous and exquisite restrictions can keep most illegal intruders outside the wall. Even with space teleportation, voids are trapped everywhere. The palace is wrapped like a hedgehog by various defensive restrictions, with almost no flaws visible.

And I feel that there are too many masters in the palace.

The palace guards I encountered were all professionals at the lowest level of the fourth level, and several royal guard captains, etc., felt like they were all professionals of the sixth level or above. Deep in the palace, there seems to be more than one top professional.

No matter how you look at it, anyone who tries to cause trouble here will have a narrow escape from death!

This always made Su Lun feel like he was walking on a knife's edge, with chills running down his spine.

After all, he and the Giant Monastery are now mortal enemies, and have killed several archbishops. Not surprisingly, there should be a top powerhouse from the Giant Monastery in the Bona royal family.

Ekaterina obviously felt his caution. She gently held Su Lun's arm and smiled understandingly.

With the royal family's first disciple of Master Pierre beside him, Su Lun felt that the danger was a little less dangerous.

......

Half an hour later, the two walked out of the palace.

Before Su Lun came to attend the wedding, he felt that the most dangerous part was coming to the palace to meet the Queen.

Unexpectedly, there is no danger at all.

The two accepted the Queen's blessing and walked out of the palace smoothly.

Queen Charlotte is an old lady with gray hair. Although she looked a bit mean, Su Lun had just confirmed in person that she was not a believer of an alien god.

Although Su Lun had known the news before, Su Lun was still a little surprised.

The two returned to the golden carriage, and their next destination was to go to the "Zosimos Alchemy Temple" to hold a ceremony.

The carriage drove slowly and slowly.

In the car, Su Lun was still thinking about everything he had just seen, but there were some questions that he couldn't figure out.

Ekaterina seemed to have guessed his doubts and suddenly said: "What are you thinking about?"

Su Lun said: "I was thinking, since the Queen is not a believer, why would she allow various external **** sects to spread in Luying?"

Ekaterina obviously knew some inside information, saying: "Before the restoration of the Bona royal family, there was a mysterious force behind it. Now it seems that it is the 'Hermitage of Giants'. And various signs indicate that the Queen The reason why the "Freedom of Belief Act" was passed is most likely because some kind of secret deal was reached with that alien sect."

Su Lun also felt that this statement was reasonable, and added: "But... the Red Death will definitely kill many people, how can the Queen tolerate this? Shouldn't no one in the royal family notice the problem?"

"It's not that I didn't find it..."

Ekaterina paused for a moment.

There was a chill in her calm tone, "It's just that power has a fatal temptation for many people. Compared with the temptation of the throne, the death of millions of civilians is not worth mentioning. My teacher said, then She’s just an old lady who is greedy for power.”

Su Lun frowned slightly as he listened.

At this moment, he no longer had any good impression of the decadent Bona royal family.

He pondered for a moment and then asked: "What do you think of the Red Death?"

Hearing this question, Ekaterina thought for a while and then said seriously: "A giant tree has rotted from the roots to the branches. If it continues, it will inevitably collapse and die. But now there is a chance to cut it off. What would you do if you gave a branch a chance to regain its life? Of course, some innocent good wood will be injured in the process."

Without waiting for Su Lun's answer, she said directly: "I will cut it off without hesitation."

The words are soft but have a strong impact.

"Oh."

Su Lun inexplicably sensed a scornful aura from her words.

This is a woman with great ambition.

In the next sentence, Ekaterina completely explained all Su Lun's doubts.

She said: "This is also a political gamble. In the end, the winner takes all."

This moment.

Su Lun finally understood what was going on in Lu Ying's strange political situation.

The Red Death is spreading, and the top dignitaries are not unaware of the threat from the alien gods, but they all have their own agendas.

After all, it’s all about profit.

When the Red Death was discovered previously, the evil **** had already penetrated so widely that it could not be reversed.

In Master Pierre's original words, the only way to eradicate the evil is to wait for Him to be completely exposed.

Since there is bound to be great turmoil, the major families want to protect themselves and strive for more benefits after the political situation is reshuffled.

At the beginning, everyone probably wanted to make profits, but gradually, they probably did not expect that this "Giant Hermitage" had such a big agenda. For example, the Rodriguez family completely became believers of the evil god.

And like several other major members of Congress, the Raphael family, the Lance family, and the Roberts family, they have become political allies.

As for [Scarlet Potion], they can't stop it, and to some extent they don't want to stop it.

This potion will divide political camps.

Anyone who drinks the potion will become the minions of the evil god.

Just make sure that people in your own camp don’t drink.

When the Evil God's conspiracy breaks out, there is a high probability that political opponents will become followers of the Evil God, and it will inevitably be a life-and-death battle.

The final outcome is that either the opposition will kill all the believers, or the believers will kill all the opponents.

Winner takes all.

In any case, Lu Ying's political situation has undergone a huge change.

Su Lun then realized that his fiancée had some great ambitions!
