Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 575: Artifact projection
Chapter 575 Artifact Projection
"The sleeping siren Sethus?"
Su Lun guessed that there must be danger in the southeast where the snake tide pushed them, but he couldn't guess what danger it would be.
Tani and his mother's special perception abilities didn't detect any abnormality before, and he didn't think it was a powerful sea monster.
But after hearing what Queen Medusa said, Su Lun felt that it was really possible.
If the sleeping time is long enough, the fish in the sea may not be able to detect the presence of the siren.
He pretended not to know, and asked via mental message: "What kind of sea monster? How strong is it?"
Queen Medusa responded: "According to you humans, Sethus is a super-level sea monster. Now you can see the largest island in the southeast, which is its back exposed on the sea. . More than two hundred years ago, a group of powerful human adventurers also awakened it from here, eventually causing a disaster that lasted for several months. This sea area is not as simple as you see. The god-born sea monsters here "Very much"
"Super level?"
Su Lun's eyes twitched as he listened.
Looking at the island with a diameter of more than ten kilometers at the end of his field of vision, he was also greatly surprised: Is this actually a sea monster?
If it’s just the back, how big must its body be?
A siren as big as Rington City?
With this size, no matter what level he is, he is almost invincible in this area.
In addition to this, what surprised Su Lun was that, listening to this tone, it seemed that she had experienced what happened more than two hundred years ago. So how long had Queen Medusa lived?
As one of the dominant advanced creatures in this sea area, the Gorgon family naturally has no need to tell lies.
Su Lun also chose to believe this statement.
However, the question remains, why would she remind herself of this human being?
Obviously not because of kindness.
The efficiency of spiritual communication is very high. During this thought, Medusa sent another message: "You should also be heading for the [Mimir's Fountain], right? Then I can tell you, even if you I escaped alive this time, and I will never be able to get close to the Giant Island. Because the only safe way to the Giant Island is to cross the Moon Strait. But there are already many human magicians stationed there at the moment, and they have built a lot of magic near the strait. Tower. Although your warship has many special things, the forbidden magic like before was released from there. Do you think you can force your way through?"
"."
When Su Lun heard these words, he immediately found the location of "Moon Strait" in his mind.
Currently, the strongest magician from the God Plane who comes to the Alchemy Plane is only at the eighth level. If you want to release the [Forbidden Curse·Light of Divine Punishment], you will definitely need the support of a magic tower.
The staff team just calculated the direction of the magic release, which is consistent with this statement.
From now on, it seems that what Queen Medusa said is true.
Su Lun vaguely guessed her motives and asked again: "Why are you telling me this?"
Queen Medusa responded with only two words: "Cooperation."
"."
Su Lun didn’t understand what he was saying.
Previously on the outskirts of Eklensa, the capital of the Silver Dragon King, he witnessed with his own eyes the Medusa Queen killing a very powerful high-level Gorgon.
Therefore, the Gorgon clan is not a monolith and has internal conflicts.
Now those Gorgons are helping people from the God Plane to surround and kill the Dawn Group, so they have become the enemies of their enemies again
But not necessarily friends.
Su Lun was not dazzled by the "strong support" that came to the door, but acted very cautiously.
This Helen has experienced a catastrophe and became Queen Medusa. Legend has it that she has returned to her ancestors and become a true demigod.
She is even more arrogant than the dragons. Why would she cooperate with a human?
Su Lun did not agree rashly, but asked bluntly: "With all due respect, Your Majesty the Queen has completed the calamity. Now your strength is probably difficult to find an opponent in the entire plane. Why did you choose to fight with us? Cooperation?"
At least he is not an enemy at the moment, and he has enough respect for this being who stands at the top of the plane's combat power.
But as soon as I asked this question, I didn’t get an answer for a long time.
As a demigod, Queen Medusa has her own pride, and she will never answer her unpleasant questions.
The exchange was silent for a few breaths.
Su Lun also guessed something through her reaction.
It seems that Queen Medusa probably suffered a lot of losses at the hands of the magicians in the plane of gods.
Although the blood of demigods is strong, it is not necessarily stronger than those magicians with true gods behind them.
Although Su Lun was also curious about what kind of loss Medusa suffered, he also knew that this was definitely not the question.
And the more arrogant you are, the more you disdain lies.
What's more, Queen Medusa swore by the Mother Earth and had an agreement of equality and non-aggression.
The probability of her actively committing murder is low.
Su Lun made a prompt decision and said directly without mentioning the topic just now: "We can cooperate! So, how does Her Majesty the Queen think we should cooperate?"
Although he only had two or three breaths, he had actually thought about it carefully. If the facts were true as Queen Medusa said, then cooperation was the only option for the Dawn Group.
Otherwise, even if they escape this time, they will have no chance to break through the heavily guarded Moon Strait and get close to the [Mimir's Spring].
Even if you teleport through the air, you may fall into some pre-set magic trap by the enemy.
What's more, for Su Lun, even if something happens, the situation cannot be worse than now.
Suellen chose to cooperate, and a spiritual message came from Queen Medusa: "You sail directly south, and I will help you drive away the snake tide, but it won't take too long, so you have to hurry up. The voyage is about There is an Elephant Trunk Island five miles away, and there is a gap in that cave that leads to the edge of the plane's collapse. As long as you enter the gap, it will be enough for you to survive."
When Su Lun heard this, he felt that if the Dawn Group wanted to survive, they didn’t need anyone else to guide them.
But after thinking for a moment, he directly gave the command to the communicator of the Dawn Regiment: "Tani, change the course, let's sail southward!"
In the cab, Tali responded without any hesitation: "Yes!"
Su Lun continued: "All Gao Zhan, prepare to fight. The logistics team is always ready to activate the Void Alchemy Array and listen to my instructions."
Everyone responded: "Yes!"
Everyone in the Dawn Regiment had no objections to Su Lun's order. Even if there was a tide of snakes in the south, the Evernight's sails turned and they rushed straight over.
On the deck, the old sword **** Bartolo and Senjou, several Gao Zhan with long-range attack capabilities, were already standing on the bow of the ship, and more than a dozen super-large-caliber main guns also turned their muzzles to face the south
Looking at the tide of snakes that had completely covered the sea, everyone looked very solemn.
There are so many venomous snakes that they gather in front of us like a high creeping wall, blocking the way.
But even with the Evernight's sudden change of course, the Gorgons controlling the tide of snakes were also confused by the actions of the Dawn Regiment.
But in a flash, they also gathered more poisonous snakes to block the way to the south.
But it was probably because the old sword **** Bartolo had just killed a seventh-level gorgon with one sword, which was enough to frighten him. At least when they rushed over, they didn't see any high-level gorgon. The demon comes to die.
As the distance got closer, everyone in the Dawn Group on the deck could clearly see the colorful and venomous sea snakes. Even if they were wearing gas masks, everyone could smell the stench of filtered poisonous gas.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"."
The artillery is still bombarding and firing, and clouds of flames explode in the snake race.
The close-range anti-cannons also "click, click, click", pouring out tons of alchemical bullets like a torrential rain.
The poisonous snakes in the distance were beaten to pieces in large areas, but they were quickly filled with poisonous snakes coming from behind.
The Yongye is heading again at full speed. The two sides are facing this collision and are about to collide with each other.
On the mast, Su Lun frowned as he watched.
Just when he was ready to activate the alchemy array to teleport.
Suddenly,
A bizarre scene happened.
The Evernight was like a dagger piercing the tide of snakes, but before the impact, there seemed to be an invisible barrier pushing the tide of snakes away.
Su Lun clearly felt the arrival of a mysterious force similar to domineering power, causing the poisonous snakes that were about to hit the Evernight to avoid it in horror. In the blink of an eye, a wide channel was cut off in the sea of snakes.
Su Lun didn’t know that this was Queen Medusa who was hiding in the dark!
Ordinary Gorgons can control venomous snakes. As a queen, how could she not be able to?
Looking at the passage right in front of him, Su Lun gave the order without delay.
The alchemical sails on the Evernight lit up instantly, the wind howled, and the huge black-sailed battleship drew a white wolf on the sea like a speedboat, rushing into the snake channel.
After going deeper into the snake group, Su Lun was even more amazed.
The total number of venomous snakes in the sea and on the surface of the sea is probably hundreds of millions.
However, the Yongye's sudden charge also caught the enemy by surprise. Just now when they saw them rushing over, the Gorgons thought they were going to fight to the death. After all, there were top experts on board, and they had some scruples, so they thought of using low-level poisonous snakes to consume them first, and did not want to confront them head-on.
But unexpectedly, their swarm of venomous snakes not only failed to stop the black-sailed warship, but actually gave way to a path?
At the same time, the eighth-level Gorgon who had been hiding among the snakes asked why she didn't understand what was going on, and said angrily: "Damn it! How could she help a group of humans?"
However, by the time it was discovered, it was already too late.
Su Lun's decision was decisive enough, and the Evernight flew so fast without any hindrance. Before the Gorgons hiding in the distance could rush over, the battleship had already rushed out of the Sea of Snakes.
As soon as the dawn group passed, the tide of snakes that had separated just now immediately closed up.
But in the blink of an eye, the tide of snakes changed direction and came after them again, and the two sides once again turned into a chase and an escape.
Although the situation is much better than when they were encircled just now, if the Yongye keeps running like this, there is a high probability that it will not be able to escape.
At this time, Su Lun had already seen an elephant trunk island appearing in his field of vision.
With his perception outside, he also clearly sensed the strong spatial fluctuations in the cave under the island.
"Space gap? There is such a place."
Su Lun rolled his eyes.
If you are not a local snake, you really don’t know about this kind of place.
There are usually space turbulence near space cracks, which is an extremely dangerous place for others. If you accidentally get involved in the space turbulence, you don't know where you will be exiled.
But for Su Lun, who has the [Ouroboros Space-Time Circle], this is actually a "convenient location".
He also knows why Queen Medusa asked him to come here. This is indeed a good place to hide
Looking at the dark cave in the distance, the Yongye plunged in without hesitation.
After entering the cave, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed.
The creepy feeling of being stared at by those billions of venomous snakes disappeared instantly.
Everyone in the Dawn Group breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief.
Only then did everyone dare to open their eyes.
This cave is very magical. The interior space is much larger than it looks from the outside. The top of the head is a wet rock wall like stalactites, and there is a faint fluorescence all around, which is some luminous algae.
Looking down, the sea water is very clear, and the fish in the water are swimming among the fluorescent aquatic plants.
Like an underground river, the direction of the water flow is actually towards the bottom of the cave.
Su Lun sensed the surrounding space. It really looked like an underground river down here. The space was quite small, and there were obviously chaotic spatial fluctuations.
"What the **** is this place?"
He looked around and saw nothing interesting.
However, I found that the direction of the underground river seemed to be the direction of the Hell Volcano.
Fortunately, as soon as they entered the cave, the tide of snakes chasing behind them seemed to be afraid of something and did not catch up again.
The Evernight drifted along the river all the way to the underground river.
Even if no reminder is needed, everyone on the ship is paying close attention to the surrounding environment.
In this mysterious cave, since those Gorgons dare not catch up, there is a problem no matter how you look at it.
Su Lun is looking for something.
After all, it was Queen Medusa who guided them here.
Instead of groping around on your own, it’s better to just ask.
Holding the black umbrella in his hand, he unleashed all his strength, and soon he felt a familiar soul wave rushing in from the entrance of the cave.
Just now Medusa helped the Dawn Group, but was also attacked.
Su Lun did not dare to go directly to the "Helen" who might easily petrify him. The black crow flapped its wings and flew towards the direction of the soul fluctuation.
Not long after, on a dark reef, he saw the figure covered in black robes through the black crow's vision.
The black crow spoke human words: "Your Majesty the Queen, thank you for your help."
Su Lun thought about being polite first, so he said politely.
However, the cloaked man did not accept this. She snorted coldly: "Human beings are really hypocritical. You don't have to doubt that I will harm you. Since I choose to cooperate, I will naturally keep my promise."
Su Lun didn’t take it seriously at all.
It is reasonable for such top-level beings to have their own pride and temper.
Queen Medusa seemed to see through his concerns and explained directly: "This is the edge of the collapse of the plane. The great battle in ancient times shattered the plane. A high-ranking god's master and apprentice repaired the broken plane. But because the plane collapsed too completely, the repair was not perfect, and the air of **** overflowed, so there were the volcanoes you see outside and these plane gaps hidden under the sea."
Su Lun’s current space laws make it easy to understand this.
In layman's terms, it is the sequelae left over from ancient battlefields to this day.
Medusa did not mention the origin of this place and continued: "If you want to go to the Island of Giants to find [Mimir's Fountain], you can reach it from here without risking crossing the Moon Strait. And you also Don't worry, that kind of thing is a treasure to humans, but it is of no use to me, the Gorgon clan. What's more, the Cyclops are also descendants of divine blood, so they are not easy to provoke, and I have no interest in making enemies with them."
When Su Lun heard this, he was more inclined to believe it.
After all, it has been countless years since the Gorgon clan was really interested in that spring water, and they should have fought you to the death.
Of course, he also caught another clue from these words: the cyclops are very powerful!
Black Crow continued to ask: "So, how does Her Majesty the Queen need us to cooperate? In other words, what do we need to pay to get your help."
In the eyes of alchemists, equivalent exchange is the most reasonable natural law.
The same goes for collaboration.
Su Lun doesn't expect to take advantage of this person at all.
He guessed that Queen Medusa had most likely been beaten, so he asked tactfully.
Unexpectedly, the cloaked man in front of me directly expressed his need for cooperation: "Those human magicians have an artifact projection in their hands, which limits my abilities. You saw it just now, and now they are working with the people who betrayed me. The same clan has formed an alliance and occupied the temple of my Gorgon clan. So I also need an ally."
"Artifact projection?"
Su Lun's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Other things are easy to say, but those involving gods are not so easy to touch.
Cooperation is possible.
Send yourself to death.
Queen Medusa looked at Suellen's caution and sneered again, saying: "Don't worry. That thing has a great influence on me. But for you, it is basically of no use. So you don't have to be too careful. Worry."
Black Crow asked directly: "Can I take the liberty of asking, what is the specific function of the artifact projection?"
Su Lun is not afraid of retreating. After all, the plane of gods is a deadly enemy and will have to be faced sooner or later.
But if you can master the enemy's methods in advance, you will have a greater chance of winning future battles.
Medusa was obviously unhappy when she heard this questioning tone, but after pondering for a moment, she still responded to Suellen's words: "That is a shield that is immune to any magic."
That's it.
As soon as Su Lun heard about this effect, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
This is obviously used to specifically target the Medusa Queen.
Immune to all magic, and naturally immune to the petrification curse.
No wonder I suffered a loss.
The strongest thing about the Gorgon clan is their petrification curse. Once this method is restrained, the actual combat power is not very powerful at the same level.
At this time, Queen Medusa said again: "I have already said what needs to be said. The content of the cooperation is that I need you to help deal with those magicians, or at least restrict their use of the artifact projection. As for those who betrayed My fellow tribesmen, you don’t have to worry about it. In exchange, I will guide you to the Island of Giants. Of course, if you help me enough, I will also give you enough treasures and ancient treasures that you humans need."
When Su Lun, who was far away on the boat, heard this, his expression lit up and he immediately responded: "Yes. But you must sign a contract! We will try our best to help you within our ability."
Only the route to Giant Island, this transaction condition is not too attractive.
But this sea area is an ancient battlefield. What is it most indispensable for?
Of course they are various treasures left over from ancient times!
The Gorgon clan has survived in this sea area for countless years and must have collected countless treasures.
Maybe there are some treasures.
After all, equipment, cursed objects, training techniques, etc. are probably no different from stones to this Queen Medusa.
But for the alchemical formulas like Su Lun and others, the treasures handed down from the glorious alchemical civilization era of Dawn are definitely good things.
What's more, having such an ally to deal with the magicians on the plane of gods is also a great help to the Dawn Group.
There is nothing to hesitate about anymore.
Queen Medusa listened to Su Lun's words and said nothing, tacitly agreeing.
The covenant was signed smoothly.
This is an equal covenant, both parties will not harm each other, and there are no coercive clauses.
Within the scope of the contract, both parties do their best to help each other.
However, Su Lun was a little surprised when he saw that the covenant was signed so smoothly.
I thought there would be some terms like intrigue.
I didn’t think so at all.
He felt that this "Helen" should not know how strong the Dawn Group was, but even if it was strong, it should be nothing in her eyes.
After all, Bartolo, who has the highest rank on the ship, is only at the eighth level, which is a big step behind her, and his strength is also much worse.
But she still chose the equality covenant.
This obviously feels like "lowering yourself".
And there are many powerful intelligent races in this sea area. She has more choices for cooperation. Why did she choose humans like the Dawn Group to cooperate?
After the contract was signed and everything was correct with the Omniscient Eye, Suellen finally dared to go and see Queen Medusa in person.
He teleported and appeared on the icy reef.
Out of etiquette and covenant needs, he naturally came in person to invite this ally to the ship.
Queen Medusa did not refuse the invitation, and the two of them walked on the water.
While walking, Su Lun asked in a casual tone: "Your Majesty the Queen, I have a question, may I ask a question?"
Queen Medusa didn’t respond, but she didn’t refuse either.
Su Lun found that there was no need to beat around the bush in front of high-level beings, so he simply asked directly, "I mean, our strength shouldn't be too strong in front of you, not even as good as those magicians. Why do you do that? Choose to cooperate with us?"
Hearing this question, Queen Medusa still walked forward silently, her snake scale tail swimming on the water, making ripples in circles.
The atmosphere was slightly cold.
Su Lun thought he wouldn't get a response, so he shrugged and didn't take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, Queen Medusa responded with something that seemed to be irrelevant to the question: "This sea area was once the battlefield of the gods. It is impossible for humans without legendary destiny to get out alive."
When Su Lun heard this, he was thoughtful.
