Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 529: Atlanta

"Mr. Su Lun, the teacher said that you have fought with a giant dragon. So how can you defeat a giant dragon?"

"The first is to be able to withstand the dragon's breath and the power of the dragon's claws, and the second is to be able to break through the defense of the dragon scale. Both conditions are difficult. Sir Isaac's notes say that the dragon scale possesses It has almost perfect defensive runes, and dragon language magic is almost magical, and its power far exceeds the various spells at a higher level. So usually a seventh-level dragon, even an eighth-level professional, has a hard time Victory."

"Oh."

"And what I encountered was just a giant dragon of resentment, which was very different from a real dragon. According to the intelligence of the Naga tribe, the blood of the lightning blue dragon was extremely pure, and there was no accurate fighting method. It’s not a good idea to act rashly before you have a strong reference.”

"."

Su Lun and Qian Jiao walked leisurely on the forest path, and the little follower Lolota beside them kept talking.

Becoming a dragon-slaying warrior is the common ideal of adventurers in various myths and legends.

The dragon represents the strongest creature in the world, and only the strongest warriors can defeat the dragon.

Lolota, a young swordsman, also has a dream of hunting dragons.

Just now, they teleported into this forest.

The rest of the Dawn Group stayed on the Evernight to familiarize themselves with the conditions in the nearby waters and prepare for the possible dragon-hunting battle.

Su Lun and Qian Jiao went ashore and took the guide Tatu with them, intending to inquire about information.

Lolota couldn't wait and came too.

Not long after the four people left, they saw a city built on the mountain.

The architectural style is very special, with high white walls surrounding the entire city.

The buildings in the city are very dense, but not tall, with red-painted roofs, like mushroom houses.

On the top of the mountain, there is a castle with a royal blue spire.

Unlike the two empires of Lu, Ying and Marfa, there are no steam chimneys visible in this city.

The sky is blue with white clouds.

The only smoke in the city is the curl of cooking smoke, and there is the smell of fireworks like a blacksmith shop.

Tatu pointed to the city and introduced: "This is the city of Atlanta. There are many dragon knights in the city, and they are not very friendly to us Nagas."

As she spoke, she looked at Su Lun, as if she wanted to remind him of something: there might be trouble if he takes her into the city.

From the moment he met last night, Tatu realized that he still didn’t know how powerful Su Lun was. Although she also knew that being able to pass through the Sea of ​​Eternal Night must be very powerful. But in the eyes of the Naga tribe, the dragon knights of Atlanta City are also very powerful.

Before Su Lun could speak, Luo Luo took Tatu's arm and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Su Lun and my teacher are both super powerful."

Tatu didn’t say anything as he listened.

She doesn't exactly understand the concept of "super awesome".

Su Lun didn’t explain much and smiled.

Although I don’t mean to look down on the natives of the Dragon Kingdom, his current strength is indeed not easy for him to meet his opponents.

He was more curious about a word he just heard and asked: "Dragon Knight?"

Tatu said: "Yes. There are many sub-dragon monsters with thin dragon blood in this sea area. The Kingdom of Dragon has a tradition of taming dragons, and knights take it as an honor to be able to tame powerful sub-dragons. We are now In the "Silver Dragon Kingdom", one of the three major kingdoms, the royal family is protected by a very powerful sacred silver dragon. ”

As Su Lun listened and thought about it, he became even more curious: "So, the relationship between humans and dragons here is not bad?"

"No. On the contrary, the relationship is still very bad."

Tatu shook his head and said: "That silver dragon stayed in the royal capital because of an outstanding dragon knight from the royal family of the Silver Dragon Kingdom a thousand years ago. After the dragon knight died, the sacred silver dragon The dragon continued to protect this kingdom for thousands of years. Without it, this human kingdom might have been destroyed long ago."

Giant dragons have a long lifespan, and it is normal for them to live for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Su Lun listened thoughtfully.

Qianjou on the side was also waiting with interest for what was to follow.

Tatu continued: "It is said that in the ancient Dragon Kingdom era, dragons did get along very well with humans. There were many powerful dragon knights at that time, and many legends about dragons and humans were also handed down. But from a certain Since some time, human beings have become less powerful, and this situation has changed. It should be that after the law of plane collapse that you mentioned, Mr. Su Lun, has become incomplete, there are fewer and fewer top strong people among human beings, and there are fewer and fewer knights who can tame the dragon. There are fewer and fewer. But dragons are an arrogant race, and they are no longer willing to be used as mounts by lower creatures. They even feel that no creature can surpass the great dragons. Later, there were dragons from the evil camp."

Su Lun asked: "Evil camp?"

Tatu further explained: "Yes, this is a saying in the human kingdom. Red, blue, green, black, and white dragons are almost all hostile to humans, use humans as food, and enslave humans. But like Silver dragons, golden dragons, gem dragons, etc., they remain neutral. They are rarely seen in the open sea. They usually live deep in the dangerous sea areas in the west. Only a few, like the silver dragon that protects the country, are destined to humans. , will be close to human beings."

"So that's it."

When Su Lun and the other three heard this, they immediately understood.

Tatu added: "So, the lightning blue dragon "Kazka" is also an evil dragon in the eyes of humans. It's just that the blue dragon flies very fast, and its name is because it flies as fast as lightning. And no one can dodge the thunder and lightning dragon breath. The human kingdom has no choice but to let it exist."

Hearing this statement, Su Lun had a deeper understanding of the dragon clan.

He thought of the "Dragon Knight's Secret Method of Taming a Dragon" in his hand. One of the translated contents was very true: "If you want to become a dragon knight, you must have combat power comparable to that of a giant dragon."

The four of them walked and arrived at the foot of the city.

There is a suspension bridge outside the city, which is the only road leading to the city. There are dozens of guards in silver armor at the door checking everyone entering the city one by one.

Su Lun also saw two flying dragons sleeping on their stomachs at the city gate.

The appearance is similar to that of a giant dragon, except that it is much smaller and the scales are not so obvious.

But any monster with the blood of a giant dragon is a strong one at the same level. Usually this kind of flesh-winged lizard is a third-level black iron, but with a bit of dragon blood, it may be a silver or gold-level monster.

This can be seen from the monsters passing by.

Su Lun discovered that everyone who entered the city was dressed in adventurer leather armor, and almost all of them had their own Warcraft mounts, [Dragon Scale War Horse], [Titan Orangutan], [Dragon Horned Rhinoceros]...these Warcraft saw those two heads. Flying dragons are almost avoided.

The natives of the Kingdom of Dragons not only tame dragons, but also tame various magical beasts. This is also quite novel to the three outsiders Su Lun.

Tatu looked at the city gate guards, frowned and said, "Hey, that's strange, I didn't even investigate before." Su Lun looked at the notice posted at the city gate and said, "It seems like someone is wanted. "No one cares.

After all, this happens everywhere.

Su Lun didn't intend to cause trouble by walking on the suspension bridge. With a pinch of the warlock's seal, a space passage appeared in front of him. He teleported directly to the city with Gan Tiao and the other three.

The residents in the city dress very primitively and plainly, wearing coarse linen cloth and leather armor. The best-dressed ones were the dragon knights, but they were also very simple.

In comparison, the attire of outsiders like Su Lun and others seemed too chic.

Sulun did not have any inventory of such rough clothes, so the few of them could only wear linen cloaks and walk in the city. Probably because this city is close to a dangerous area, there are quite a few adventurers in the city.

The buildings in the city are very compact. Except for the main road leading to the castle, which can pass carriages, the rest of the streets are very narrow.

The city walls, houses, and streets are all made of stones.

Because there is no properly planned urban sewer system, a stench is always wafting in residential areas.

They thought that Lu Ying's rural territory was backward enough, but when they looked here again, they found it to be in a primitive state. There is no industry here.

There are also a few vendors on the street, and the products they sell are very simple, including food, fruits, and some Warcraft meat

The four of Su Lun walked and watched.

Lolota looked at the pedestrians and exclaimed in a low voice: "These people are so strong!" They had thought that it was just the city gate soldiers and the adventurers who looked very strong. But after entering the city, I discovered that these ordinary residents were also very strong.

The fat woman who looked like an ordinary peasant woman could easily load hundreds of kilograms of goods into a truck; a muscular blacksmith held down a dragon-scaled horse weighing several tons with his bare hands and forcibly shoed it; even if He is a thin slave who built the city wall, but he can also carry hundreds of kilograms of stone bars and walk quickly

People are generally tall and muscular.

The land and water support the people, and Su Lun thinks this is probably directly related to the enormity of the creatures in this sea area. Dr. Banks might be more interested in this phenomenon.

A few people walked around, and Tatu asked: "Mr. Su Lun, where are we going now?" Su Lun thought about it and said, "Let's go to the Adventurer Tavern first."

There are many adventurers in the city, so there must be a place for entertainment. It’s also easy to get information in those places.

He thought he could first ask for information about the "Petrified Curse Potion" and the blue dragon.

However, while walking, a simple-looking middle-aged couple passed by pulling a carriage full of apples.

Originally this was normal.

Su Lun looked slightly sideways because there was actually a person hiding in the carriage. Because I paid attention, I took another look.

The carriage walked towards the city gate. But suddenly, a group of guards riding dragon scale horses quickly chased after him. The guards dismounted and overturned the carriage, throwing out a blond girl with frightened eyes.

When the middle-aged couple saw what happened, they knelt down and begged. "No, please, sir, don't take Sophia away!"

"Oh, you selfish and ignorant guys, still want to escape? Do you know how many deaths your behavior will bring to the great Lord of the City!"

"No, please. Sophia is only sixteen."

"If you don't give a satisfactory sacrifice, it will bring disaster to our city of Atlanta! Get away!" "-"

The guards ignored the couple, dropped a bag of coins, and forcibly took the girl away. Su Lun and the others frowned.

Lolota was even more filled with indignation, her hand already on the handle of the knife, as if she was going to kill someone if she disagreed. Tatu even complained: "Human beings are so cruel to their own kind."

No matter how you look at it, this is a scene where a nobleman rapes a young girl. But the previous conversation made Su Lun and Senjo deep in thought.

Waiting for the guards to leave, the onlookers dared to talk one after another.

"Hey, what a pity about that girl from the Clayton family. The evil dragon has awakened. Only by sacrificing the girl and the treasure will the evil dragon not spread its anger on our city."

"That evil dragon on Thunder Island? Hasn't it been dormant for more than ten years? Why did it suddenly wake up?"

"You don't know yet? I don't know what happened in the south yesterday. The rumble was like thunder. Didn't you see that there were many adventurers in the city today? Some people speculated that some ruins and treasures might have been discovered. Those guys People are flocking here. In the next few days, there will be more and more people."

"_"

The people arrested were not their own family members. Apart from a few comments, these residents didn't seem to think anything was wrong. This is an older system of lordship than Luying. The lord owns everything of his subjects.

Tatu translated the dialogue of these people.

When Su Lun and the other three heard this, they realized that they were going to be sacrificed to the blue dragon.

Su Lun murmured: "It seems like this happened because of us." Yesterday's shelling alarmed the blue dragon, and then the sacrifice was made.

It seems that this is not the first time that people in Atlanta have done this.

If you can't defeat them, offer tributes. This rule applies to both humans and Warcraft.

The eyes of Qiantiao on the side were gleaming, and his hand was casually resting on the handle of the knife. Naturally, he was not afraid of a fight.

But since it is a sacrifice, he will not die for the time being. Su Lun thought about it and didn't rush to make a decision, saying: "Let's go, let's go and check the situation first."

A few people walked towards the tavern where adventurers gathered. .

Not long after, they arrived at the Adventurer's Tavern. This is the busiest place in the city.

Even though it was broad daylight, the tavern was full of people and bustling with people.

The city of Atlanta is not big, and the Adventurer's Tavern is the Adventurer's Guild. The mercenary group will also post adventure bounties here and recruit teammates.

The four of Su Lun found a lively tavern and walked straight in.

Although Tatu knows the common language of the Dragon Kingdom, this is his first time in a human tavern and he is a little overwhelmed. Su Lun was familiar with the conversation. Although he didn't understand it, he was a qualified drinker.

He pointed to the drinks on the table next to him and threw out two silver coins. It's a generous tip, and the bartender naturally smiled and brought the wine.

The four of them sat in the corner.

When the wine was served, Su Lun took a sip and found that it tasted surprisingly good. This wine is translated as "Longmai wine" and is a specialty here. He and Qian Jiao had good drinking abilities, so they downed a large glass. Lolotta and Tatu drank lightly.

They were drinking and chatting.

Tatu listened attentively and translated some important information from the drinker's mouth.

The most talked about among the drinkers was the "unusual noise" yesterday, because it is a dangerous sea area and few people dare to go there.

Most of it is speculation.

Su Lun is always observing his surroundings. But what surprised him was that the top of the tavern's bounty list was a material bounty mission.

That was a reward from the royal family, a huge sum of money to find [Tears of Death] and [Dragon Breath Fruit].

Before he was curious enough to inquire, the adventurers were obviously more interested in the material task for which the royal family promised to use "any conditions" as reward.

"Hey! Brother Tut, why are the royal family offering rewards for finding two materials?"

"Oh, I heard that Her Majesty the Queen was cast into stone by an evil witch, and she is in urgent need of materials to prepare an antidote to save her life."

"Ah witch? What witch can harm the future?" "Yes. It's the famous Helen."

"Helen? The "most beautiful woman in Parnia" that His Majesty the King snatched back from the Kingdom of Parnia? Isn't she deeply loved by His Majesty the King? How come she became a witch?"

"Isn't it? The prophet of the temple had already predicted that it was a witch who would bring disaster to the kingdom. Her

Beauty caused the two countries to start a war, and also caused Her Majesty the Queen to bear the pain of the curse. The royal family prepared to burn her to death, but they did not expect that the witch seemed not to be afraid of flames. Instead of dying after being burned, she ran away. His current whereabouts are unknown. "

"Oh! No wonder there is a wanted order at the city gate. I was also wondering why a beautiful woman was wanted. It turned out to be that person." ""

Speaking of beautiful women, we are immediately interested in taking risks. Tatu translated the words of those people.

Su Lun listened, not interested in any witch. He just didn't expect that by such a coincidence, this material seemed to be the formula for the "petrification antidote"?

But it’s not surprising.

The original plan was to visit the city of Atlanta. If that didn't work, I would go directly to the royal capital. In the society of lords, the royal family owns everything.

If there really is an antidote to the petrification curse, it is definitely in the hands of those in power. Tatu was also very excited. He got the information he wanted just after he arrived.

But then she frowned and wondered: "If it is these two materials, it will be very troublesome." Even the royal family is looking for it, so it is naturally a rare material.

Su Lun listened to the question and asked casually: "What two kinds of materials are these?" The alchemist knows all kinds of materials.

But due to cultural differences, sometimes the names will be different.

The material warehouses in the small void world were piled up like mountains, and he thought he might have them.

Tatu thought for a while and said: "[Tears of Death] are the tears of lord-level undead. But undead monsters of that level usually don't shed tears. Once they shed tears, they are the purest energy in the world. .This is a very, very rare material."

"Tears of the Dead?"

After Su Lun heard this description, he thought about it for a moment. Then by coincidence, I discovered that I actually seemed to have one!

He once obtained a material [Alice's Tears] from the cursed space of [White Monastery] in the Dawn Ruins. Isn't it the tears of Lord-level undead?

But before seeing the detailed formula, he also determined whether the material properties were the same. Without saying much, Su Lun asked again: "What about [Dragon Breath Fruit]?"

Tatu added: "It is a kind of fruit that can only exist in the dragon's lair. That fruit grows in the place where the dragon sleeps and will mature for at least a hundred years. It is said that the purer the blood of the dragon, the better the dragon's breath fruit medicine. The more effective it is, the better.”

"Oh."

When Su Lun heard this, some thoughts flashed through his mind.

To be able to solve the petrification curse at the level of the Gorgon, the materials must be unusual, so it is natural that these two things should be used.

Really hard to find.

No wonder the royal family would put a reward on it.

While talking, the drinkers started talking about [Dragon Breath Fruit] again.

"Hey, tell me, this time the royal family has placed an unlimited reward, will that "dragon hunter" come to Atlanta? ”

"Who knows. Anyway, I heard that the Royal Dragon Knight Legion will come over. After all, the evil dragon on Thunder Sea Island is a pure-blooded blue dragon, and there is a high probability of high-grade [Dragon Breath Fruit] in its lair. ”

"Hey, even if there is one, it's possible to get it! Even if you ride a flying dragon, you can't escape the pursuit of the blue dragon. It's as fast as lightning. Even if it goes to sea, it can return to its lair in an instant. No one can Get it"

"If "Dragon Hunter" Bartolo Figaro comes, he may be able to kill this evil dragon. It’s a pity that that guy’s whereabouts are elusive, he always does things as he pleases, and he won’t be invited at any price.”

"."

Tatu translated these conversations.

The village was destroyed and injured by the knights. The adventurers talked about some of the dragon's past.

Su Lun also had a rough idea of ​​the rank of the blue dragon. It is estimated that there is a high probability that it is a seventh-level dragon, and its combat power is at the peak of an eighth-level professional, almost at the ninth level?

Because it is a lightning attribute, it is more difficult.

In this way, there is a lot to be done.

He can do things that others cannot do!

Su Lun thought again, if the evil dragon left the cave, wouldn't he be able to go for a walk?

Then why [Dragon Breath Fruit] is not readily available?

Moreover, you can even lead the blue dragon to Rainbow Island and inflict heavy damage on those mages?

With the experience of hunting dragons in the cursed space of [Dwarf King’s Resentment], Su Lun felt that this plan was completely feasible.

However, dragons in reality are smart and cunning, so this matter needs to be considered carefully.

Su Lun thought of this, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
