Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 546: Removing petrification
Chapter 546: Removing Petrification
PS. I’m stuck. This chapter is a bit sketchy, but the content is as per the title.
The blue sky is clear and the sea breeze is gentle.
On the rippling sea, a huge black sailboat sailed leisurely.
On the deck, everyone in the Dawn Group was busy, and there were knocking sounds everywhere. The shipwrights are repairing the damage to the battleship, and the mechanics are debugging and repairing the damaged artillery.
In yesterday's battle, they defeated a ten thousand flying dragon knight from the Silver Dragon Kingdom. The hull was slightly damaged, but they also captured a large amount of loot. At this moment, there were many people on the deck dealing with the killed flying dragons. The skin, flesh and bones were separated, some were used as food, and some were used as alchemy materials, and were stored in different categories.
Flying dragon meat is a top-quality ingredient. It tastes great when smoked and grilled. It is also rich in high nutritional value that is unmatched by almost any monster. It is extremely beneficial to the human body. This is a rare delicacy that cannot be enjoyed anywhere else. .
The crew was immersed in the joy of harvest.
In the laboratory of the cabin, several people were also gathered here.
Su Lun previously stripped off the memory of the white-robed wizard Garcia and successfully prepared the [Petrified Curse Antidote].
At this moment, he is trying to lift the petrification curse of Tani's mother, Friedel.
Dr. Banks also assisted by connecting various equipment and instruments to the stone sculpture. Not only to help, he also wanted to use his biological knowledge to carefully record the process of petrification reversal, which might be able to completely crack the secret of the petrification curse. After all, only one antidote has been refined. If you encounter the same problem again, there are some scientific treatments.
Tani on the side was looking at her mother nervously, as if her breathing was about to stop.
After preparing everything, Su Lun put Tani's mother into the container, filled it with distilled water, and then poured the refined petrification antidote into it.
The potion containing powerful magic melted in the water, and a magical scene immediately appeared.
Friedel turned into a stone sculpture and suddenly countless bubbles appeared in the water, as if corroded by acid, and the gray petrified layer on the surface slowly melted away.
The water gradually became turbid, and it became difficult to see the figures inside
Everyone became nervous.
After all, Friedel has been petrified for many years, and no one knows if there will be any other changes.
Even Su Lun's eyes were slightly solemn when he looked at it. After all, even in the wizard's lineage, there is no record that anyone has lifted this person who has been petrified for so long.
However, although he could not clearly see the situation in the water, he could feel that the fluctuations of his soul were still very stable.
The petrification curse cannot petrify the soul, but it can seal the soul in the petrified body, like a frozen sleep.
As the antidote gradually took effect, the soul seemed to be thawed from the ice and slowly became energetic.
The data is more intuitive.
Suddenly, Dr. Banks looked at the research equipment and shouted softly: "There are signs of life!"
Hearing this, everyone in the laboratory was happy.
Tani was so excited that her hands were sweating.
After a long period of waiting, the water has become completely turbid, but the instruments can already see that the life fluctuations are getting stronger and stronger.
In Su Lun's perception, the soul fluctuations are no different from those of a living person.
Finally, after more than half an hour, the figure in the turbid potion moved!
The fish tail stirred slightly, and a human head emerged from the water. It was a pure-blood Naga face that was 70% similar to Tani, with exquisite features.
Tani called out excitedly: "Mother!"
Friedel had just been released from the petrified state, as if his memory had just awakened.
The pair of slightly confused eyes looked at Tani and froze for a moment, then recognized him, and then his face was full of surprise: "Tani?!"
Tani looked excitedly at her mother through the glass jar, crying with joy.
After persisting for so many years, I finally waited for this day. He spent countless lonely days and nights by his mother's side, who had turned into a stone sculpture, hoping that one day he would be able to see his mother exposed to the curse and regain a new life.
Su Lun looked at the touching scene of mother and son getting together in front of her, and felt quite happy in her heart.
The curse was lifted and there seemed to be no residual effects, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Friedel was not wearing any clothes, so he didn't stay much. He avoided suspicion and said, "I'm going out first. Tatu, please help Tani see what her mother needs."
Tatu nodded: "Yes."
Su Lun left the cabin and came to the deck.
At the bow of the ship, a large group of people were gathered around, listening to an old man wrapped in bandages explaining the art of swordsmanship.
Of course the old man came back to life as "Dragon Hunter" Bartolo Figaro. Because he was sent to the Small Void World in time, and with the treatment of Dr. Banks, his body's distortion was successfully suppressed.
The vitality of top-level professionals is extremely tenacious. Even if he suffered such a serious injury yesterday, Bartolo can still walk around today.
And because the captain of Senjo is a swordsman, there are quite a lot of professional swordsmen in the Dawn Regiment. After finally meeting a legendary "Sword God", everyone naturally would not let go of this opportunity to ask for advice.
As soon as Bartolo came out, everyone gathered on the deck to ask for advice.
Even if there are thousands of them, I will listen to them with great interest.
Bartolo also enjoys it.
He hasn't felt so lively in many years. These friends from his hometown gave him a very friendly feeling.
He is also happy to pass on his swordsmanship to the end of his life.
Su Lun also walked over and listened for a while without interrupting.
Even if he is not a professional swordsman, many high-level things can be understood by analogy and have deep feelings.
"Senior Bartolo, do you have any tips for understanding the meaning of the sword?"
"There is no other but fighting. The swordsman is a profession born for killing. No matter how gorgeous the words are to exaggerate your actions, the swordsman is killing. Only by growing up and keeping your heart in killing can you be able to kill. It is easier to understand the meaning of your sword."
"."
Su Lun listened quietly for a while without disturbing.
After Bartolo finished speaking and everyone dispersed, he walked over.
Lolota saw him first and shouted enthusiastically: "Mr. Sullen!"
Su Lun smiled and nodded.
This girl seemed to have gained a lot of insights and did not stop. She held her sword and said eagerly: "I'm going to the sword hall to practice swordsmanship. Goodbye, Teacher, Mr. Su Lun, and Senior Bartolo~"
Bartolo looked at Lolotta's back as she jumped away, with a smile on his face and praised him: "He is a good young man in swordsmanship."
As he spoke, deep feelings appeared in his eyes.
Seeing the current Dawn Regiment made him feel like he had seen the Black Sam Regiment back then.
Energetic and vigorous, everyone is sailing towards their dreams.
Su Lun smiled and greeted: "Senior, are you still used to life on the ship?"
Bartolo always had a smile on his face and said: "Although I haven't been on a real sea ship for decades, there is nothing I am not used to."
Not only was he not used to it, but it actually made him feel young again.
Su Lun also felt that the old swordsman could adapt well. With this top swordsman on board, the strength of the Dawn Regiment has once again greatly increased. He looked at the bandage wrapped around Bartolo's left arm and asked, "How is the injury of the senior?"
Bartolo raised his hand to indicate that it was nothing serious: "It's just a small injury."
As he spoke, he sighed with emotion: "The times are really different. I didn't expect that the distortion could be suppressed in the later stages."
I thought that his final outcome would be to lose control and become deformed and die. Unexpectedly, in the Dawn Group, there was a biological laboratory that could successfully suppress the deformation.
On the Evernight, Bartolo never stopped feeling emotional. The ship, artillery, personnel, technology... everything was completely different from thirty years ago.
He looked at Su Lun with a somewhat complicated look.
I saw the incredible puppet army yesterday, and I thought this was already a miraculous young man.
After meeting the Little Void World again, he really didn’t know how to describe his shock.
This dawn group is really like the moment of light that brings hope to civilization in the dark night.
For the first time in decades, he had such a strong will. He felt that his old bones really deserved to live a few more years and contribute some of his modest efforts to the civilized war.
He knew that Su Lun was preparing a petrifying potion before, so he asked: "How is Miss Friedel's situation?"
Su Lun said: "The curse has been successfully reversed, and the situation is pretty good."
Bartolo also looked happy after hearing this.
Not long after he said that, several people walked onto the deck.
Tani supported his mother, followed by Tatu.
Seeing Su Lun and others, Tani walked over excitedly and saluted: "Mr. Su Lun! Thank you for saving my mother!"
Su Lun smiled nonchalantly and said: "You don't have to be so polite. We are partners. Besides, it is not my fault alone. Getting here is the result of your adventure and hard work with everyone."
This was what he had promised to Tani when he recruited Tani to join the ship in the pirate city of Hastlin.
Now that I have done it, I understand one of my wishes.
On the deck, everyone saw Tani and the others coming out and gathered around them.
There were only tears in Tani's eyes at this moment, and he also saluted everyone: "Thank you, partners!"
Everyone showed kind smiles.
They all knew about the petrification curse, and they were very happy to see Friedel alive now, but they were even more amazed.
Friedel's age is considered middle-aged among humans, but he doesn't look old at all. The blood of the Naga tribe gave her the delicate skin of a girl, and the intellectual beauty of a mature woman in her eyes.
Everyone couldn't help but admire: "Mrs. Friedl is so beautiful!"
Friedel returned the gentle smile.
Although she is still not sure what happened to her during the years when she was petrified, she also knows that everyone in front of her saved her, especially the "Mr. Su Lun" whom her son kept mentioning.
She bowed and said sincerely to everyone: "Thank you everyone."
How could Su Lun dare to accept such a great gift? He quickly helped the person up.
At this time, Bartolo on the side also said with great emotion: "Miss Friedel, long time no see."
Friedel looked at the gray-haired old man, thought for a moment, then looked at the saber on his waist, then remembered something, and exclaimed: "Mr. Saito?"
Bartolo said bitterly: "Yes."
Neither of them expected to see their old friend from nearly thirty years ago.
Seeing the "missing" old friend, Friedel asked a few questions about the Black Sam Group back then with great expectation, but she got an answer that disappointed her.
After all, the last glimmer of hope is gone.
However, seeing his son grow up, Friedel was also satisfied in his eyes.
Suellen asked Friedel and confirmed that she could indeed seal the [Rainbow Well] on Rainbow Island, and she was very happy.
But she was still very weak after recovering from petrification and needed time to recover, so Su Lun was not in a hurry to leave.
The ship sailed all the way south, its destination was Rainbow Island where the Master of the God Plane was stationed.
In the evening, a grand celebration dinner was held on the Evernight to celebrate the victory of yesterday's battle, welcome the sword **** Bartolo, and celebrate the lifting of the curse of Tani's mother Friedel
Everything has been happy lately, and it's worth celebrating.
After having enough wine and food, Su Lun returned to the cabin.
After yesterday's battle, although I destroyed the plan of the God Plane in the Silver Dragon Kingdom, there are still many hidden dangers that have not been eliminated.
For example, those forces in the Silver Dragon Kingdom that originally had faith in the plane of gods.
Killing one Garcia is not enough.
He knew there were many more.
Not only in the Silver Dragon Kingdom, but also in the two kingdoms of Pania and Akatisse, there are also many believers in the gods.
Although these deity believers are not yet the mainstream, as the plane channels stabilize and the will of the gods from the deity plane can come, the faith will spread rapidly like a plague, and the group of believers will become larger and larger.
Sooner or later the three major kingdoms of the Dragon Kingdom will become the kingdoms of certain gods.
Maybe it has spread by now.
People in the sea area of Dragon Kingdom have had countless years of belief in gods and customs. People believe in various false gods and fallen gods.
It is impossible for Suellen to change this deep-rooted custom and allow people to study alchemy. But we cannot just watch these people become believers of gods and become enemies.
So, he thought of a way.
Only magic can defeat magic.
Only faith can fight against faith.
Su Lun thought of someone who could solve this problem.
That's Pandora.
For things like stealing faith, that person is perfect.
Thinking of this, Su Lun immediately set up a summoning formation in the captain's room.
Using the communicator, I asked Pandora who was far away in Hokkaido and Shikoku. She was also happy to help. Faith is also an indispensable source of strength for her.
Super long-distance summoning requires a lot of energy. Fortunately, Su Lun now has all kinds of crystal nuclei in his hands.
Not long after, he deployed a super large summoning formation.
Pandora's "faithful object" is in Su Lun's small void world. It is placed in the center of the summoning formation. When the warlock seal is pinched, the light of the formation lights up and the connection is established.
Not long after, a figure slowly solidified in the alchemy formation.
It doesn’t have to be so troublesome to summon the will. This time he summoned Pandora’s body.
A few minutes later, when the light from the alchemy formation dissipated, Pandora appeared, descending in the form of Tsukuyomi God.
In the alchemy formation, she was wearing a robe condensed with moonlight. Her hair was windless and flowing, and her eyes were sparkling. She had a kind of indifference and arrogance that looked down on all creatures in the world. Her bare feet were floating in the air, and no one could feel any mundane aura about her body. She was completely like a high-altitude god.
Su Lun's eyes froze slightly as he looked at it.
He has witnessed the arrival of God's will many times, and now that he is watching Pandora's arrival, it is getting closer and closer.
Su Lun murmured in his heart: "It has become very strong"
After the last Linton disaster, Pandora absorbed too much power of faith, and now it seems that it has been completely digested. Now her strength has reached an unpredictable level.
However, the indifference in Pandora's expression only lasted for a moment. She caught Su Lun's slightly shocked gaze and raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "What, don't you know me?"
The corner of his eyebrows smiled charmingly, and the feeling of being repulsive to others disappeared in an instant.
After becoming allies, Su Lun also knew that Pandora's personality was the kind of person who was easy to get along with.
He looked at him and said hello: "Long time no see, Miss Pandora."
As he said that, he pointed to the sofa and said: "Please sit down."
Pandora fell to the ground, and the ethereal divine power on her body was completely restrained. She didn't see anyone outside, put her bare feet on the floor, and sat on the sofa.
For some reason, Su Lun always felt that her divine power seemed to have a strange attraction to her eyes.
Seeing Su Lun's eyes take another look at her robe, Pandora explained further: "I just subdued a few ghost kings in Shanyin, and I haven't had time to change out of the robe I was wearing."
Su Lun smiled slightly but said nothing.
Take a second look, just because this dress is really special, because it contains a strong power of gods and ghosts.
If you read it correctly, this is still woven from the [Golden Wool] he gave me before.
As soon as they met, the two chatted casually for a few words.
Suddenly, Pandora thought of something, and said in a slightly joking tone: "Oh, I met your old friend a few days ago, the lady in divine clothes. In order to fight for an ancient shrine, she and one of mine There was a little friction among my subordinates and we had a fight."
When Su Lun heard this familiar name, the girl in the red and white witch costume immediately came to mind.
Having shared hardships together, naturally we don’t want to see our friends hurt.
Before he asked, Pandora said in a slightly teasing tone: "Don't worry, she is fine now. No ghost will really hurt her."
Su Lun didn't say anything after listening, and went straight to the topic, saying straight to the point: "I just told you briefly that I need your help to steal faith. The current situation of the three kings of the Dragon Kingdom is like this."
He couldn't explain clearly in the communication before, but now in person, he explained all the information he had obtained in detail, especially about the plane of gods.
With this information, Pandora will be able to better understand the gods that people believe in in this sea area, and it will also allow her to plan to steal faith as quickly as possible and completely solve the problem.
Although Pandora also attached great importance to this situation, her expression was lazy.
She just lay on the sofa, listening with a bored look on her face.
Occasionally, I will change to a comfortable position, half lying and half sitting.
Su Lun was sitting directly opposite her. Shanyin's loose clothes were not very good at covering up, and Pandora's Tsukuyomi robe was even worse.
She didn't wear any lining, so when she leaned over, she could always catch a glimpse of her depth; her robe was very loose, and when she lifted her legs and crossed them, people could always see her large white thighs.
Probably because she had seen everything for the first time, she didn't seem to mind at all.
Perceiving the vague influence of divine power, Su Lun did not forget the dilemma of being teased last time and looked away.
After a while, after the information was finished, he spread his hands and finally said: "This is roughly the situation. If you need help, you can notify me at any time and I will rush over as soon as possible."
Pandora nodded as she listened.
I have already talked about it in detail, so there is nothing to ask.
She turned her beautiful eyes and simply asked: "Should I leave now?"
Hearing this question, Su Lun naturally replied politely: "There is no rush in this matter. You can stay on the ship for a few more days and rest before triggering it."
She came all the way to help, so naturally she couldn't be rushed to work. What's more, stealing faith is not something that happens in a day or two, and there is no rush.
After hearing this, Pandora's eyes flashed with inspiration.
She scratched her face and looked at Su Lun, then asked: "Then where do I live?"
Su Lun pointed to the door and said: "There is an empty cabin next door. If there is anything missing in the room, you can tell me and I will have someone send it to you."
"Oh."
Pandora raised her eyebrows slightly and stood up.
She stepped barefoot on the floor and walked towards the door. She glanced back and said, "If there is anything else you need my help with, just say it. Otherwise I'm going to have a rest."
"."
Su Lun thought about it seriously.
There really is!
The "Alchemy Cyborg" is the end of puppetry, the brainchild of teachers Seria and Sir Isaac. Su Lun's research on puppets has been much more in-depth these days, and he also has some new ideas for some designs that were previously incomprehensible. I thought that if I could see the real thing and study it, I would gain a lot.
I was embarrassed to speak at first, but now Pandora took the initiative to mention it.
He did not test it and said: "Well, if Miss Pandora doesn't mind, I would like to study the alchemy body again."
Pandora didn't care at all and just asked: "Now?"
Su Lun didn’t expect her to be unexpectedly easy to talk to, so she quickly said: “There’s no rush.”
"It's okay anyway, let's do it now."
Pandora stopped for a moment and asked in a lazy tone: "Do you still want to take off your clothes?"
Su Lun: "If possible."
Pandora raised her eyebrows indifferently.
Without saying anything, she walked to the sofa and took off her robe naturally just like she did last time.
The robe fell to the ground, and a flawless and beautiful body was exposed to the air.
