Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 586: Ancient weapons

Chapter 586 Ancient Weapons

"There are some weapons and armors in the forest on the island, which were left behind by human adventurers who have landed on the island for countless years. Those things are of no use to us Gorgon clan, so take them if you need them"

"There are also many ancient shipwrecks near the Tianxing Sea Whirlpool. Countless ships have sunk there from ancient times to the present. As far as I know, another fleet among you humans called the 'Betas Kingdom' also sank there. There. Because I’m not interested and I’ve never looked there, I can’t guarantee there’s something there.”

"Then there is the seabed in the northwest of the island, where there are several ancient human ruins. I see that you are interested in the ancient buildings on the island, and there may be something you need in the sea."

"There is a gold mine on Skull Island. It was once the largest gold mine in the Kingdom of Ancient Dragons. It was later abandoned after being attacked by cave monsters. There are some high-level monsters on the island, but I think it won't be a big problem for you. ."

"."

The Gorgon has no interest in equipping treasures or anything like that, and materials and equipment are of no use. Therefore, even if there are gold mines and shipwreck treasures nearby, they are not attractive at all.

But when Su Lun heard Queen Medusa's words, his eyes were full of expectation.

For humans, these are treasures!

This sea area is extremely dangerous, and few humans have set foot in it, but those who can reach it must be of great strength. So the equipment they carry is naturally good stuff.

Especially Cocolosi Island, which is the territory of the Gorgon. Whether it's an adventurer or a bounty hunter who borrows a mission, it's impossible to reach the island without level seven or eight. It may take a hundred years for a person to successfully land on the island. But over the years, the number of "stone sculptures" on the island has accumulated.

And hearing about sunken treasures and so on is even more exciting.

Sulun, the "Kingdom of Betas" mentioned by Queen Medusa, has also been seen in the classics of the Silver Dragon Kingdom. This was the most powerful and wealthy kingdom among the nine kingdoms of the Dragon Kingdom.

Due to the failure of the struggle for royal power, the last king of the kingdom, Gersis XIX, took the treasury treasure to sea and eventually lost the news.

Unexpectedly, it sank near here?

As for gold mines and ancient ruins, they are also of immeasurable value.

This gift from Queen Medusa is not light.

Queen Medusa doesn't care about these external things, and Suellen is not polite either.

Today's Dawn Regiment is developing rapidly, and there is a huge gap in funds and equipment.

For example, the [Sky Mechanical War Fortress] under construction, Dr. Banks’s research funds, Suellen’s puppet army, or the investment of the war workshop are all bottomless pits that burn money.

Just in time to solve an urgent need.

Su Lun carefully remembered the treasure locations in his mind. After listening, he said politely: "Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen, for the gift."

Queen Medusa didn't seem to care about these treasure gifts at all, and said as usual: "As for the Giant Island, I can help you negotiate with the Cyclops, which should allow you to land on the island smoothly. But whether Whether you can get spring water depends on you."

Su Lun quickly thanked him: "Thank you very much."

Having witnessed with his own eyes the scene where Holy Son Frank was killed instantly, he didn't know that it was impossible to break into the Island of the Giants forcefully.

Now Queen Medusa's words directly solved his biggest concern.

Whether you can obtain [Mimir's Fountain] or not, at least the risk is reduced to a minimum.

Queen Medusa said no more, and said: "If nothing happens to you, now I have to deal with my tribesmen"

Seeing her about to leave, Su Lun suddenly thought of something and asked: "Well, I would like to ask, if you don't mind, can I study the altar?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the empty black pool.

Queen Medusa listened and looked over, "It's up to you. As long as you don't go to the temple, you can look around the rest of the island."

There are enough new friends in this sentence.

Su Lun also nodded.

After saying that, Queen Medusa twisted her snake body and went into a messy forest.

There are a group of Gorgons crawling there to apologize.

Now that the crisis has been resolved, Su Lun has no sense of urgency at all.

He carefully observed the surrounding sea area with the vision shared by the black crows, and was not sure whether the Dragon Clan really did not dare to come again.

I don’t dare to be careless, so I have no plans to release the Yongye for the time being.

But Su Lun looked at the empty black pool again. The ancient texts on the murals were difficult to understand. He frowned and could only ask for help.

With a pinch of the Warlock Seal, a black hole appeared in the space in his hand, and a figure walked out.

But it was Mr. Black with empty cuffs on his arms.

Su Lun greeted: "Mr. Hei, are you okay now?"

Mr. Hei's face was very pale, but he shook his head: "It's nothing serious."

Before, he desperately held off the legion commander Augustus to buy Su Lun enough time, but he also broke his arms as a result.

However, this kind of injury is not a big problem for the current medical technology of the Dawn Regiment. Dr. Banks's biological laboratory has mastered various limb reconnection technologies. It will probably take a few months of cultivation to return to normal.

Su Lun’s own legs are currently equipped with mechanical prostheses.

Mr. Hei didn't seem to care about his injuries. Instead, he was more interested in archeology. He had already looked at the pool and asked, "Who agrees to our research?"

As soon as he came out, he didn't realize that there was a powerful being on the island that made people feel faintly afraid of his breath.

It must be the Queen Medusa who has been successfully inherited.

"Yes. As long as we don't enter the temple, there are no other restrictions. Also, Her Royal Highness the Queen gave us many gifts."

Suellen smiled and simply said what Queen Medusa said before.

When Mr. Hei heard this, he obviously knew the value of those treasures, and his pale face instantly became a little excited, "Haha, our ally is really generous."

As he spoke, he glanced at Su Lun and showed a meaningful smile.

Su Lun didn't know that the old gentleman was making fun of him, so he smiled and said nothing.

The two of them walked into the empty black pool as they spoke.

In the previous battle, the poisonous water had been washed away by the shock wave, and now it turned into a large pit, revealing a funnel-shaped sunken building that looked like an arena.

But not long after, the miasma had gathered in the pit again and turned into a thick black mist.

This little poison is not a big problem for the two seventh-level Su Lun.

As the two of them walked, Mr. Hei looked at it and sighed with emotion: "A building from several epochs ago can still have such an energy-gathering effect. The goblin craftsmanship is incredible."

"Indeed."

Su Lun has a general understanding of the situation in the pit because he has observed it before.

The entire bottom of the pit is piled with stones, with various ancient characters and symbols engraved on them.

Very complex, like some kind of regular code.

Cryptozoology is also a basic skill for alchemists, but Su Lun has never seen this arrangement.

Mr. Hei lay on the stone wall and studied for a while, his brows getting tighter and tighter.

The two of them said nothing, each observing the patterns of the symbols.

Su Lun’s Omniscient Eye identified some information, showing [a mysterious lock mechanism of unknown arrangement].

Those special symbols and ancient characters are probably like a combination lock, arranged as complicatedly as the stars in the sky.

Because there were no comparative cases in the harvest knowledge, he didn't see many clues.

After a moment, Mr. Hei suddenly spoke.

He sighed and said: "In these symbols, I saw 'Penrose's puzzle', 'Bodenstein's star encryption method', 'Hilbert's high-dimensional logic' and so on, almost all modern cryptography shadow."

Su Lun asked: "Do you see this ordering pattern?"

Mr. Hei shook his head and said: "I can see some clues. But the password combination on the stone wall is too complicated. I estimate that if the correct solution cannot be found, there are at least a billion permutations that need to be tried."

Although his tone was a little helpless, his eyes were full of wonder at the glorious ancient civilization. He paused and said: "Normally, it is impossible for the human brain to calculate such a complex arrangement key. Even the most advanced difference engine would probably take hundreds or thousands of years to calculate."

"Yeah."

When Su Lun heard this, he nodded slightly and agreed with this statement.

The complexity of this stone wall far exceeds any encryption method he has seen before.

As soon as he responded, Su Lun thought about what Mr. Hei had just said, and suddenly realized something, and his expression suddenly lit up: "You mean Dora?!"

Ordinary people can't do it with their brain power, but there is a special being in their Dawn Group.

"Yeah."

Mr. Black smiled and added: "These symbol arrangements are the oldest goblin engineering codes I have ever seen. And Miss Dora is not only proficient in engineering, but also her [Isaac Blasphemer] Clothes Providing computing power that far exceeds that of ordinary people. To decipher the secrets here, she is the only one who is most suitable."

Su Lun nodded as he listened.

And the Dawn Group not only has Dora, but also all kinds of top-notch Marfa instruments.

It may not be possible.

Without much thought, he pinched his warlock seal, and Dora and a dozen members from the small void world appeared in the pit.

These are the professionals who are the best at cryptography in the Dawn Group. After Su Lun said that they needed to be decrypted, they all signed up enthusiastically.

But as soon as everyone came out and looked at the various symbols on the surrounding walls, they all immediately turned into bitter faces.

"Ah, this is too complicated. I think I'm pretty good at deciphering just this line of symbols. But these walls are filled with, my God, I've never seen such complicated cipher text in my life. ”

"Oh, so even Mr. Su Lun and Mr. Hei were stumped? Hahaha, then I suddenly won't feel like an idiot who can't understand anything in front of these symbols."

"."

Dora looked at the various symbols on the wall in front of her. As a top mechanical engineer, she could see the clue at a glance, but she also frowned and said: "It's very complicated."

After hearing this, Su Lun asked: "Dora, how sure do you think you are?"

Dora did not respond in a hurry, she pinched the warlock's seal and said, "Colonial Clothes and Undressing!"

Looking again, her eyes were numb and devoid of any emotion, as cold as a biological computer.

After a moment, she responded: "It depends on luck."

Hearing this, Su Lun also smiled and said: "Everyone, let's try it."

I’m not sure if it can be opened, and I’m not sure that there will be any gains after unlocking the password, but it’s better to try first.

As soon as these words came out, everyone became busy.

In the next few days, there were no dragon attacks, and the Dawn Regiment was stationed on Cocolosi Island.

This Gorgon Island, which has always been a forbidden area for humans, has humans walking around for the first time in countless years.

After the treasure hunting plan of those guys in the plane of gods was completely foiled, everyone in Dawn was not worried at all.

[Mimir's Fountain] will not run away on the Giant Island. Without the enemies, they can slowly consider landing on the island.

Su Lun, Mr. Black, and Dora's staff spent all day studying and deciphering the ancient goblin in the pit.

The rest of the Dawn Group began their treasure hunt in full swing.

The Dawn Regiment has divided into several treasure hunting teams. Some are hunting for treasures on Cocoluxi Island, some are going to the battlefield before Hell Volcano, some are going to salvage sunken ships, and some are going to archaeological ruins on the seabed and dig gold mines.

Even the magic towers on the Moon Canyon side were all moved into the Small Void World by Su Lun.

And this treasure hunting process was surprisingly smooth. Countless treasures were unearthed every day, ship by ship.

The Dawn Group encountered almost no accidents.

It's all thanks to Queen Medusa.

The news of her return seems to have spread throughout the vast sea area near Cocolosi in a short period of time. Almost all creatures know that this queen of the Gorgon clan has super-level strength that cannot be offended.

Once a powerful overlord-level creature appears in an area, other existences of the same level will be allowed within a certain range.

As a result, no high-level sea monster dares to approach Cocolosi Island in this sea area now, and the safety of everyone in the Dawn Group is also guaranteed.

With the protection of such an overlord-level being, not to mention walking sideways in this sea area, at least there are no long-eyed monsters that will take the initiative to attack.

Time flies.

Seven days passed in a flash.

This day, at noon, the wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful.

A burst of space fluctuations appeared in front of the Gorgon Temple, and Suellen walked out of the space crack.

He has just returned from Orangutan Island.

An ancient metallurgical factory was discovered in the abandoned gold mine over there. After encircling and destroying the underground monsters in the mine, the treasure-hunting members of the Dawn Group discovered a large number of smelted gold nuggets and high-purity ores. Those harvests could fill several large ships of Evernight and were inconvenient to transport, so Su Lun could only go there and collect them in the Small Void Realm.

There are also underwater ruins and sunken ship salvage. There have been very rich harvests in the past few days. Su Lun has been working as a porter almost every day, busy and immersed in the joy of harvest.

When we arrived in front of the temple, it was still a busy scene.

Mr. Black and Dora, a kind of decryptor, are still busy deciphering the encrypted symbols in the stone pit.

More than a dozen precision instruments were crackling, and the decipherers were all looking at the possible combinations with a frown on their face.

The more in-depth they study in the past few days, the more certain they are that the encryption ban hides a huge secret.

Mr. Black even asserted that this may be some secret involving the gods, which is why there is such a complicated seal.

So these days they are calculating day and night.

But the process of deciphering the ban is really too complicated. Even with Dora, a humanoid computer and Marfa's top instrument, the result Su Lun asked from beginning to end was still only "depending on luck".

To the extent that science cannot completely solve this problem, the Dawn Group has resorted to metaphysics.

Dora learned from Su Lun that No. 19 had the hidden talent of "lucky" and brought her here.

When Su Lun came, he was listening to Dora and No. 19 chatting.

"Sister No. 19, try this series of decoding arrangements."

"Ah Dora, you want me to try? I feel like I'm of no use"

"Oh, Mr. Su Lun said you are very useful~"

"."

In the center of the stone pit, there is a trapezoidal blue light model projected in the void like a 3D holographic projection. There are also countless mysterious symbols and ancient characters on it. If you look closely, it is a reduced projection of the entire stone pit.

This is Marfa's puzzle-solving black technology, a forbidden simulator made of magic crystal, which is used to efficiently decipher certain forbidden mechanisms that cannot be tried multiple times.

No. 19 was like playing a crossword puzzle at the moment, trying various combinations again and again.

Seeing Su Lun return, everyone raised their heads and said hello.

Su Lun nodded, walked in, and joined in the boring deciphering work as usual.

What a coincidence, he just came back not long ago.

Number 19 fiddled with a new arrangement and combination on the simulator. Without any warning, the blue light model suddenly started to rotate.

This scene also made everyone in the pit, including Su Lun, look sideways.

It is completely different from the previous garbled code situation. After this arrangement test, the words and symbols on the simulator were actually connected into pieces, and then formed a nine-pointed star formation.

Everyone was stunned, and they didn't realize what happened.

After all, they have repeated this mechanical action countless times in the past few days and failed countless times.

This is the first time that a different result has been obtained.

However, after a moment, someone couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's done?!"

After saying this, Su Lun also looked at Mr. Black and Dora.

The surprise in Mr. Hei's eyes disappeared for a moment, and was replaced by surprise.

Dora's eyes on the side were trembling at high frequency, as if she was calculating something quickly. After a few breaths, her face was overjoyed: "It's cracked!"

Hearing this, everyone cheered.

After many days of sleepless nights, the results finally came to fruition, and everyone’s faces were filled with joy.

Even Su Lun was a little surprised and surprised.

With hundreds of millions of attempted permutations, they had previously roughly estimated that it would theoretically take several months to solve it.

Now it was cracked in seven days, which is indeed very lucky.

After Dora confirmed it many times, she determined that this was the correct way to crack the ban.

After discussion, several people decided to activate this ancient restriction that even the Gorgon clan didn't know about.

Not long after, Su Lun had cleared the place.

In front of the temple, he and Queen Medusa were the only two people standing in the pit.

Su Lun asked: "Then let me try to crack it?"

"Yeah."

Queen Medusa nodded.

Even she is curious about what secrets are hidden under the temple.

If it were only Su Lun himself, he would definitely be extremely careful. Just like the previous temple seal in the city of Atlantis, a little carelessness could have disastrous consequences.

But now Queen Medusa is here. She said it’s not a big problem, so it’s not a big problem!

Su Lun walked straight away.

He used a rune pen to re-apply the magic paint in order on the symbols on the rock wall according to the arrangement and combination he had deciphered before.

When the last symbol was painted, the warlock pinched it and said, "Unsolved!"

Suddenly, the words on the wall suddenly lit up.

Just like the previous simulation, these words came to life and formed a mysterious nine-pointed star formation in the air.

Su Lun did not dare to stay at the bottom of the pit, and teleported to the side of Queen Medusa, looking at the miraculous scene in front of her.

As the nine-pointed star formation became brighter and brighter, it seemed as if a door to another world had been opened.

Su Lun looked at the identified information and was shocked: "The legendary 'Secret Cave of Time and Space'?!"

He clearly sensed that a large space appeared behind the door. And the secret hidden in this restriction is actually the legendary [Secret of Time and Space] where time does not flow.

According to legend, the purpose of this space-time cave is to store some very important things, not to seal monsters.

This also made him feel at ease a lot.

Until now, there has been no danger, and Su Lun also knew that he had to open the door in order to peek into the secret behind it.

Uncle Crow on his shoulder was still very quiet, and Su Lun opened the door carefully.

As expected, there was no danger.

After opening it, you will see a closed room in front of you.

The room is surrounded by exquisite stone carvings, which look a bit like some kind of manufacturing blueprint?

Because Su Lun saw all kinds of dense data, part parameters, and structural breakdown diagrams, which often appeared on the engineering drawings of some goblin civilizations.

Su Lun did not take a closer look, because a box in the center of the room immediately attracted his attention.

[A secret box with a special seal]

Detailed explanation: Nine Medusa snake-haired scepters are needed to unlock the secret box.

Seeing this thing, not only Su Lun, but also Queen Medusa on the side looked very surprised.

Because both of them saw that there were nine snake-shaped grooves on the box, which looked like keyholes.

As luck would have it, they just have this thing.

Suellen glanced at her side from the corner of her eye and saw that Queen Medusa had six golden hairs on her head at the moment.

There are three more. Su Lun himself found one in the main palace of Atlanta City before, and got two more by killing the eighth-level Gorgon.

In other words, all nine snake-haired scepters happened to be present!

Obviously, the contents of this box are also related to the ancestors of the Gorgon family.

Although Su Lun was curious about what was in the box, he was not in a hurry to open it.

He felt that the reliefs in this room would give him some clues.

Su Lun's eyes scanned the drawings on the murals carefully.

Looking closely, he found that he had indeed made the right decision before.

The carvings on this mural are really drawings of a magic weapon called [Twilight of the Gods]!

Su Lun felt a little incredible and was surprised: "This cannon can even kill gods?"

Because the more he understands the world, the smaller he feels.

After entering the high-level professional field, attack methods are no longer purely energy levels.

It is like a novel describing how the explosion destroyed the world. For people at high latitudes, it is only a few lines.

That is something at the level of laws, not just energy.

As Su Lun gradually understood this world, he vaguely felt that gods should be those who have mastered the power of high latitudes.

So, although the cannon on the wall is exquisite, it seems to be designed to be a magic cannon that can withstand massive amounts of energy.

But how could it kill a god?

Su Lun vaguely felt that the most critical thing might be in the box.

Because there is one key thing missing from the drawings on the wall, and that is "cannonballs".

After roughly reading the contents on the relief, Su Lun basically confirmed the function of this room.

This is what the ancient goblin clan built to preserve this [Ragnarok Blueprint].

There is a high probability that there is no danger.

And with Queen Medusa here, even if what is sealed in the box is really a super monster, the risk is not big.

Su Lun thought about it and took out the three golden snake hairs in his hand.

Queen Medusa did not speak, and six of the snake hairs fell off her head.

Only those who are qualified to raise nine [Medusa's Snake-Haired Scepters] are qualified to open this box.

Don’t think too much about the things inside, they must be very high-end.

Su Lun used silk thread to slowly bring the nine snake hairs closer to the box.

When the two were about one meter apart, it was as if the snake hair was pulled by a mysterious force and embedded into the box.

There were a few metallic clicks, and the box that looked like gold but not gold suddenly opened.

No danger is triggered.

Inside is a gem as black as ink.

It was so dark that it felt like your eyes were being sucked in.

【Twilight of the Gods】

Detailed explanation: Also called 'Zosimos dark matter', an artifact substance named after the discoverer; a magical ore that was once discovered by the mythical goblins in the endless void of the dark world, containing super energy and high positions that you cannot understand The power of law; through research, the goblins discovered that it has the special effect of restraining the power of belief in gods, so this stone is also regarded as taboo by gods;

Seeing this, Su Lun immediately understood everything and was shocked: "Ancient god-killing weapons. This is the real black technology."
