Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 481: If I don’t take power, what use is Lu Ying?
The experts from Liming came to support, and there were more than ten people on the block instantly.
Su Lun also had no chance to fight "Frost Knight" Oscar one-on-one to gain insights, and the one-on-one duel instantly turned into a big brawl.
As soon as he lifted the surgeon's seal, more than a dozen terrifying wax figures appeared around him and rushed into the battlefield.
Not only Chijou came, but Mr. Black, Barrett, Red Devil Kai, Kit, and almost all the old members of the Old Town Time Mirror organization came.
The golden patterns on the cloak shine particularly brightly in the night.
Then there are the blood descendants of Mr. Mirror, "Blood Duke" Moore Wordsworth, leading a group of vampires, turning into giant bats and sweeping in crazily.
In an instant, the huge lighthouse neighborhood became one.
The melee between level 6 and 7 professionals was extremely exaggerated. Various high-level warlocks bombarded the sky. It was like elemental fireworks exploding in the sky. Buildings collapsed in pieces, and the ground was cracked.
Because it was a well-prepared ambush, even those deformed outer **** believers who were not afraid of life and death, people like Su Lun had an absolute advantage in combat power.
The battle lasted for less than half an hour and then stopped. All six aberrations were killed.
However, what makes Su Lun feel very regretful is that except for "Frost Knight" Oscar, whose soul is still intact, the others are all severely deformed monsters, with their souls severely damaged, and only some incomplete fragments of the law have been peeled off. The six monsters put together are not as good as a demon monk.
The only good news is that these top-level aberrations have more evil parasite life essence in their bodies.
But the body decomposed quickly, and Su Lun had already "sucked it out" before, so he thought it would be a waste.
Unexpectedly, after communicating with Wordsworth, an old vampire who lived for seven hundred years, he actually discovered that the vampires had also figured out some very special blood-sucking experiences over the long years.
Su Lun also mastered a secret method that can absorb life essence beyond the body's endurance.
Due to physical problems, vampires can directly absorb the blood of almost any living creature (eating fish without spitting out bones). But this kind of blood is contaminated by divine laws, and there is a risk of distortion if sucked.
Su Lun then exchanged August’s experience in stripping blood-sucking impurities, and both parties gained something
The battle in Beicheng is a fierce battle between Lu Ying's top dignitaries. In addition to destroying monsters, they are also fighting for power.
Dawn is a neutral organization and has no interest in participating in the war.
Su Lun and the others didn't run around either. They just wandered around several large factories near the lighthouse area, cleaning up all kinds of aberrant monsters.
Maybe those evil gods will send experts to attack and kill them.
It would be a help if I could restrain him a little.
A group of people dispersed, looking for aberrant monsters to clean up in various factory areas.
With their power in Nancheng, it can be said that as long as no eighth-level professionals come, it will be basically fine.
Even high-level aberrations can be killed by two or three people working together.
Su Lun and Qian Jiao, who had not seen each other for a long time, teamed up to clean up the monsters.
The two walked along, and the streets were littered with corpses.
The swordsman profession is indeed one of the most powerful professions in killing. Qian Jiao can kill these aberrant monsters several times faster than Su Lun.
The movement of the two people passing by attracted a group of monsters. Before Su Lun could take action, she swung her knife and chopped all the monsters into two pieces like a melon or a vegetable.
Every time she kills a monster, the shadow of the Rakshasa behind her becomes more solid, and her murderous intent becomes more intense.
After a while, the monsters that cleared the dormitory building also stopped for a while.
Su Lun watched Qian Tiao take a rest and then chatted: "Sister Qian Jiao, have you reached the sixth level?"
He could see during the battle just now that Qian Jiao was much stronger than when they were separated. But Mingming hadn't seen him for less than two months. He was still at the fifth level before, but now he has advanced to the sixth level, and he has even understood the domain. During this period, not only have I made further progress, but my partners have also become very good.
Qianjiao sheathed the sword, glanced at Su Lun, and responded: "Yes. I went to Senodia Province before, and Mr. Wordsworth happened to have collected a piece of thunder material that is very suitable for me. . After I try to fuse, I will advance."
Their eyes met, probably because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and there was a touch of closeness in their eyes as if they were reunited after a long separation.
The gambling-addicted young woman didn't shy away from it at all. As usual, she hooked her arm around Su Lun's shoulder and walked forward as a brother-in-law.
At this time, she seemed to have seen the black light crown on Su Lun's head, and she asked curiously: "Is your crown a cursed object? It looks good."
As she said that, she joked again: "Well, it goes well with your 'Prince Fick' temperament."
Su Lun raised his eyebrows, ignored her teasing, and simply explained: "This is the inheritance crown of Lei Jiadi. It is used to assist in understanding the field. It has a good effect. I felt like I caught it during the previous battle. A little bit of understanding, it seems that I have touched a certain threshold."
When he said this, he thought of something and asked: "By the way, Sister Qianjou, how did you understand your own field?"
When Senjou heard this, he showed an expression of incomprehension: "Ah, is there any threshold for this 'field' thing?"
She thought for a moment and then added: "Isn't it something you can master after you advance to the sixth level and stabilize your realm a little bit?"
Su Lun looked at her "it's all about having hands" expression, rolled his eyes, and said quietly: "Do you think everyone is like you, and you have entered the Sword Saint realm at the fifth level?"
The relationship between the two was very familiar, so he didn't know that Qian Jiao was not in Versailles.
It's just a simple thing.
Qianjou's dedication to the way of the sword and her flawless swordsmanship allowed her to comprehend her "Thundering Sword Intent" at the fifth level and enter the realm of the Sword Saint. This is also the reason why she understood the field so smoothly.
And there is another reason, that is her talent of [Rakshasa Girl] of the Three Realms that no one has ever seen before.
After research, Mr. Jing commented that this talent could even give Senjou a high probability of ignoring the eighth-level threshold.
Qian Jiao looked at Su Lun's serious look and realized that he was asking sincerely.
She then thought seriously for a moment and replied: "On the way to Lingdun, I killed a seventh-level sea monster and understood it immediately. I remember the feeling at that time, which was probably that I had peeked into the hidden world. The power of some special rules?"
I don’t know how serious it is.
Su Lun showed a helpless expression as he listened.
Field is a professional’s own perception of the world and his or her profession. Everyone’s perception is different, and it is indeed impossible to explain clearly.
What's more, this reckless woman Qianjou has only vaguely understood it herself, so how can she explain it clearly to others?
As expected, after two sentences of explanation, he was speechless. Qian Jiao shouted impatiently: "Oh, I can't explain that feeling. Anyway, I think if you fight more, you will definitely understand it."
Su Lun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Obviously, this gambling-addicted young woman is more interested in other issues than this.
Qian Tiao hooked Su Lun's neck, the fire of gossip was blazing, and the topic jumped sharply: "Oh, I have read all the newspapers these days. Su Lun, you married a very beautiful noble lady. Yeah. How do you feel?"
Su Lun rolled his eyes and corrected: "That's Fick, not me. It's just a collaboration, you know."
"Ha!"
Qianjou's face was full of joking, and he obviously didn't believe it.
Of course she knew that the marriage was cooperation, but she was more curious about the hidden story, and added: "The newspaper said that you and the noble lady have not left the house for several days at the Rose Manor. Tsk tsk, the little princess of the Lance family Is the experience really that great?"
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows ambiguously, which was full of hints.
The reason he stayed a few more days was because he wanted to plot against Young Master William and the demon monk. Su Lun did not tell anyone about this.
He looked at the burning fire of gossip in Qian Jiao's eyes and wanted to explain. But as soon as the thought flashed across his mind, he gave up the idea. Instead, he pretended to be frivolous and said, "My evaluation is not as good as Sister Senjo."
"???"
Qianjou looked obviously startled when he heard this, and it took him a moment to understand what he said.
Looking at Su Lun again, she said with a faint look: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, you brat, you really deserve a beating."
Listening to the "threatening" tone, Su Lun didn't care at all and laughed.
Qian Jiao was not polite, locked his neck, and punched him in the head.
With a "thud" sound, Su Lun felt pain and let out an ouch.
The two of them were cleaning up zombies on the street and bickering occasionally, which was quite fun
Li Ming and his group have extraordinary combat capabilities, and they clean up the aberrant monsters in the lighthouse neighborhood very quickly.
They almost killed everyone before the zombie wave infected everyone.
Originally, Su Lun and the others were already prepared. To kill monsters on such a large scale, the people from the Giant Hermitage would definitely take action.
But I didn’t expect that during these few hours of killing monsters, except for the initial group of "Frost Knight" Oscar, there would be no more masters coming later.
This made Su Lun feel a little confused.
But the communicator is always reporting on the battle situation in various parts of Lingdun City.
Although the zombie infection in the civilian areas of South City is very serious, the actual decisive victory lies with the top nobles in North City.
The three great congressmen, Raphael, Lance, and Roberts, have stocked up heavily in advance. There are airships in the sky and warships coming from the sea.
Several big families that supported the Outer God Sect were defeated steadily.
The situation is great.
But despite the smooth sailing of the battle, the turning point came very suddenly.
Just when everyone thought it was because the [Scarlet Potion] was not released on a large scale and the alien **** arrived early because of insufficient preparations, which resulted in the inability to organize a resistance force, a shocking news came.
Beacon District, a factory building full of corpses in a Birmingham textile factory.
As soon as Su Lun received the communication from the assembly, he and Qian Jiao rushed over.
Just a moment after the two arrived, Barrett, Wordsworth and others also arrived one after another.
Everyone looked at Mr. Hei's extremely serious expression and knew something was wrong.
Barrett was the first to ask: "Mr. Black, what's wrong?"
Mr. Hei is the chief intelligence officer of Dawn, and almost all intelligence is compiled in his hands. He looked at everyone and said solemnly: "I just got the latest news that Master Pierre was severely injured."
What!
When they heard this, everyone including Su Lun was stunned, and everyone looked shocked.
Master Pierre is a ninth-level professional, can Lu Ying still injure him?
Su Lun's eyes flashed solemnly, and he quickly asked: "Then the alien **** has arrived?"
After much deliberation, this is the only possibility.
But he didn't want to, Mr. Hei shook his head, "No."
Then he revealed a piece of news that made everyone's expressions suddenly change, "It was Queen Charlotte who ordered two eighth-level palace ministers to assassinate Master Pierre!"
After hearing this information, everyone was stunned.
Although they knew that the Bona royal family was behind the current climate of the Giant Monastery, they never figured out that the majestic Queen Lu Ying would let Master Pierre attack the Empire's Dinghai Needle?
It would be fine to say that the Queen herself is a believer in an alien god, but Su Lun only confirmed it a few days ago that she is not!
Although the Bona royal family is corrupt, there are many masters in the palace, and it is definitely not something that believers of foreign gods can easily infiltrate.
And the current situation is that a wave of aberrations broke out in Linton, causing millions of casualties. No matter how blind he is, he still knows that those believers of external gods have a devastating impact on Lu Ying's political situation.
Instead of uniting to deal with the foreign gods, you have compromised the backbone of your family?
Mr. Hei continued: "The specific information is not clear yet. I received intelligence before that the Queen invited Master Pierre to the Frederick Palace to discuss countermeasures. Then a fierce battle broke out not long after entering. Pierre I was hit hard and knocked out. This is the latest information from two minutes ago."
Everyone fell silent when they heard this.
Thoughts were racing in Su Lun's mind.
Master Pierre is the main force in dealing with the arrival of the alien god. If something happens to this person, it will be a big deal.
It seemed that the whole of Lingdun was in a lively fight, but everyone knew that the final decision on the outcome of this disaster was the armed conflict between the top alchemists headed by Master Pierre and the outer **** of the Giant Monastery.
Su Lun couldn't figure out why the Queen stabbed her in the back, but she knew she couldn't delay.
There's definitely no point in waiting here.
He glanced at everyone and said solemnly: "I plan to go over and have a look."
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood and nodded one after another
The rest stayed in Nancheng to clean up the monsters. Su Lun had shifted through space and appeared several kilometers away.
I asked Mr. Jing through the communicator. She happened to be watching the battle near Frederick's Palace.
Su Lun sensed the spatial coordinates left on his senior sister's body and teleported in that direction many times. In the blink of an eye, they had crossed the Locovalen River and arrived near the Royal Bank on Shenghui Avenue in the North City.
Teleporting for the last time, the surrounding scene changed and he appeared in an attic.
Su Lun identified the location and remembered that this was the residence of "Marquis Agnes".
As soon as he teleported over, he saw his senior sister standing in front of the window with a serious expression.
Su Lun asked directly: "Sister, what happened?"
Mr. Jing’s eyes were complicated and he didn’t say much. He motioned for him to look out the window and said, “See for yourself.”
Su Lun walked to the window and saw the dense crowd of heads.
At this moment, tens of thousands of people gathered in Frederick's Palace Square.
The armors of the noble private soldiers all have the noble crests of their respective families, so Su Lun recognized them at a glance as the "Blue Cross Heavy Cavalry Corps" of the Lance family, and the "Black Griffin Lance Corps" of the Roberts family. ", as well as ten private armies of marquises and earls.
Then there are the "Golden Lion Army" and "Dark Judge Army" of the Luying military
There were even military intelligence officers wearing black windbreakers.
Of course, the two most eye-catching and largest legions are Archduke Raphael’s “Super Mechanical Warriors” and “Mechanical Warcraft”! There are so many of them, and they are a huge area of darkness.
Archduke Raphael, Archduke Reims, and Archduke Roberts, all three congressmen were present.
In fact, almost all the top professionals in Linton are here.
Su Lun was even more confused when he saw this scene.
I didn’t see any of the Outer Gods. They were all from the opposition. They were obviously fighting well.
Why would anyone want to plot against Master Pierre?
At this moment, less than half of the sapphire spiers of the palace were destroyed. It was obvious that they had just experienced a fierce battle.
There was a large area of empty space in the square outside the palace, and no one dared to approach it.
A rickety old man covered in blue-gold flames was floating in mid-air, and he was none other than Master Pierre.
On the ground not far away, there was a corpse with a big hole burned in the chest.
Su Lun failed to recognize that the corpse was Quinn Andrew, the "Poison Sect", one of the two eighth-level worshipers of the royal family. This grand master of the Poison Warlock lineage is known as the alchemist with the most thorough research on toxins in the world today!
Su Lun had already guessed something when he saw this. Looking at the blue-gold flames on Master Pierre's body, he didn't guess anything: "Master Pierre used [Warrior] to forcibly suppress the poison? ”
He had seen Master Pierre's state with his own eyes before at the Full Moon Ball. Knowing that this old man is nearing the end of his life, walking is very difficult. But now, releasing his spiritual power like this is tantamount to burning his lifespan, and he is obviously seriously injured.
Su Lun's eyes twitched, and she glanced at Mr. Jing beside her. Her eyes were extremely solemn, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Looking at the other side of the confrontation.
The white-haired old woman wearing a crown, hiding behind the palace's magic defense barrier and surrounded by a group of palace guards, is naturally the current ruler of Luying, Queen Charlotte.
However, what Su Lun was concerned about was not the palace guards, but the fact that there was a bearded middle-aged man with a mechanical skeleton next to the old woman.
"Marfa's third naval commander, Admiral "Steel Behemoth" Burton Crist? Why is this guy here? ”
Although Su Lun is not familiar with Marfa's people, he has seen the intelligence of those top figures.
He never expected that Queen Lu Ying would be surrounded by Marfa soldiers who were their old enemies.
Furthermore, looking at the posture, it seems that the Queen has some kind of cooperation with this Burton?
In the square outside the palace, the two sides did not fight, but the atmosphere of the confrontation looked very bad.
It was at this time that Su Lun came and was listening to the conversation between the two parties.
Queen Charlotte asked righteously and sternly: "Pierre, do you remember your identity as a royal servant? Do you still remember that you were favored by the royal family to advance to the ninth level? I never thought that you would betray the royal family before! You just didn’t support the royal family when the rebels staged a coup, and now you actually want to support the rebellion?”
After hearing this, Pierre sighed: "Your Majesty has never forgotten his identity. The responsibility of the palace ministers is to protect the empire and the continuation of the alchemical civilization. This is what His Majesty Peter gave the palace ministers when he established the empire. divine right."
At this point, the old man hesitated for a moment, as if he felt that there was no point in elaborating. He only said: "From the beginning to the end, the old minister never felt that he had done anything wrong."
When Su Lun heard this conversation, he guessed that they were talking about the "Brumpy Moon Coup."
Outsiders don’t know what happened, but he heard the inside story from Ekaterina.
Bona IX was weak and incompetent, and it was Charlotte who actually controlled the political power.
This old woman has completely eclipsed the royal rights of the Bona family, and the royal family exists in name only. She also wanted to support her maternal family and completely usurp power. Then, in the process of seizing power, there were a series of cunning operations that made the people miserable, and more importantly, touched the interests of the established nobles.
Then there was the Mechanical Revolution and the Brumaire Coup, and he was directly removed from power.
Later, there was a bizarre restoration.
Now it seems that it must be secretly supported by the Giant Priory.
And Ekaterina also said that without her teacher speaking up, all the Bona royal family would have been sent to the gallows long ago. The fact that the queen can survive to this day is really due to this old man.
Queen Charlotte did not appreciate it at all. A cold light flashed in her eyes as she listened, "Humph, it is useless to talk about the past. I have just said that the ancient **** from the Giant Monastery is our Luying Contract Guardian God. Since you heard the order, why haven't you retreated? Do you want to rebel?!"
Su Lun's expression changed when he heard this.
At this moment, I suddenly realized.
Only then did he understand why the situation was like this and why the royal family allowed the foreign **** to collect faith so rampantly.
It turns out to be the "Contract God"!
In the Dawn Age, the alchemical civilization swept across many planes, and they used powerful force to sweep across many planes.
Those gods of other civilizations who resisted were killed; those who surrendered signed a contract and became the guardian gods of the contract.
Thinking that the Luying Empire was searching for treasures all over the world and found a divine contract left over from ancient times.
Queen Charlotte dares to do this.
However, this kind of contract was signed under the premise of strength suppression or equality!
The Bona royal family is only at the eighth level, so they actually want to sign such a contract with an alien god?
Don’t say whether this contract is stable or not, or whether it will be backlashed;
What did this old woman think about signing a contract with this evil **** who killed millions of people at every turn?
In the eyes of gods, humans are low-level creatures such as ants and blood-eaters!
How dare a monkey seek skin from a tiger?
Not only Su Lun can’t figure it out, but others can’t figure it out either!
Pierre said earnestly: "Your Majesty, do you know that when this disaster strikes in Lingdun, at least millions of people will die. The outer **** uses your people to recover from their injuries and re-concentrate the divine fire. Such evil God, do you really think he will protect the empire?"
Hearing this, Queen Charlotte sneered with disdain: "Hahaha, millions of people? So what? It's just population, it can be filled soon. As long as the royal family is still there, Lu Ying will still Prosper forever!"
When Su Lun heard this, his eyes became cold.
What a vicious guy.
Being questioned in front of tens of thousands of people, the old woman looked unhappy and said sarcastically: "Besides, I don't trust the Ancient God, but do I trust you?"
As she spoke, she glanced at everyone, "Is this how you repay the royal family's trust?"
"Hey"
When Pierre heard these words, he sighed repeatedly.
Just looking at the old man's expression, you can tell that he is heartbroken.
He spoke again and asked three questions in succession.
"Your Majesty, you ordered the evacuation of the defenders of the 'First Island Chain of Northern Defense' three days ago? Do you know that losing that century-old defensive island chain will expose the hinterland of the island to the enemy's attack range? , will the entire empire be put in danger?"
"There is news that you secretly ceded the "Seven Cities of Terminus" to the Marfa Empire a month ago, but is it true?"
"Now, under the cover of the Royal Navy, General Marfa appears in Ringtown with heavy troops. What do you think?"
These words are full of lamentation and anger, and they are pale and feeble.
The building will collapse, and he will not be able to save himself.
By the end of Pierre's question, the nostalgia in his tone had completely dissipated.
He knew that the Queen could not answer, so he did not wait for her to respond. He suddenly became indifferent and said: "If the price of your taking power is the collapse of the empire, and the severance of civilization, even if you bear the name of injustice, , I will risk my life to stop it!"
Su Lun was in awe when he heard this.
He finally understood why he didn't start a fight even though he was seriously injured by a sneak attack, but kept talking for so long.
This is the master alchemist who has worked hard for the empire all his life, and is finally breaking up with the royal family.
Being favored by the royal family will eventually come to an end
To cede territory and betray the country is a huge scandal!
After hearing that the scandalous thing she had done was told in public, Queen Charlotte's face turned livid, and turned into endless anger.
She no longer concealed it, her eyes showed a vicious light, and her ambition was unconcealed: "Hahaha, how ridiculous! How qualified are you to question the decision of the royal family as a worshipper? The Luying Empire was established by my ancestor of the Bona royal family. If the royal family is not in charge, then what is the use of this empire? What use do you have in this? If I don't have power, even if everyone dies, what does it have to do with me!"
These words clearly demonstrate the selfishness, greed and ignorance of human nature.
After a pause, the old woman shouted: "Now let me ask you one last question, will you retreat? If you don't retreat, it will be like a rebellion and you will be killed without mercy!"
When Pierre heard this, his tone no longer fluctuated.
The gentleness in his turbid eyes dissipated, and gradually became as sharp as light.
"Maybe one day the empire will collapse, maybe one day the alchemical civilization will lose its glory and be submerged in the dust of history. But not today!"
When he said this, the old man who had reached the end of his life spoke extremely calmly.
But every word is sonorous and striking.
Echoing throughout the Palace Square!
