Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 209 "Shadow Demon" Tim

Duke Raphael's territory is in the west of the Luying Empire, and it takes about half a month to take a steam ferry.

It was one of the most prosperous territories of the empire.

And a few days' voyage to the west, on the vast sea, there is a place called "Black Barrier Reef" that is not marked on the map.

There is a castle on the barrier reef with a towering lighthouse.

But there are no ordinary residents in the castle, but a secret personal guard of Duke Raphael stationed there.

This is a purely military fortress.

little known.

Recently, the war between the Luying Empire and the Mafa Machinery Empire on the east coast has become more and more fierce, and the major lords have also mobilized their troops to join the battle.

The great nobles mobilized the military strength of the territory and gave the pirates an opportunity.

The overlord pirate leader of the North Sea, known as the "King of the North Sea", a fleet under Oleg J. Popov is active near the territory of Grand Duke Raphael, robbing passing merchant ships.

"Black Barrier Reef" was also discovered by a pirate team passing by for investigation.

Originally, this purely military fortress was the last thing pirates wanted to touch.

The battle damage is high, and there is no treasure to loot.

But the abnormal movement on the barrier reef attracted the attention of a big pirate.

That was the captain of the "King of the North Sea", the great pirate who offered a bounty of 160 million lisos, and the fifth-level professional "Shadow Demon" Tim Ashley.

After several days of patient observation, the military strength on the barrier reef discovered by the great pirate was too "highly equipped", far exceeding the military strength required for stationing an ordinary military fortress.

Finally, he decided to venture to the island to test.

On this day, a steam warship sailed into the inner bay military pier of Black Barrier Reef.

After several extremely strict checks, the few people on board entered the castle.

Then they went straight to the lighthouse in the castle, went underground, then entered a black tower, went very deep underground

But they didn't know that in the shadow of a person, there was a big pirate hidden.

"The 'Super Mechanical Warrior' secretly researched by the Duke has made a splash on the battlefield this time. Even those guys from the Mechanic Sect have suffered a lot."

"That's right, compared with mechanical warriors, those bulky mechanical armors are simply too far behind. When it comes to mechanical prosthetic transformation technology, our leader is the top."

"This victory in the 'Norman Sea Battle', I am afraid that the people within the empire will look at the Duke with admiration. Even the Queen should pay attention to rewards."

"Of course, our lord duke may be canonized as a 'first-class duke' this time."

"Hey~ I heard that the women in Old Lington are very nice. They live underground all year round, and their skin is fair and smooth. It's not the same as those girls on the ground who are exposed to the wind and sun. Let's go to the city later? Hehe , Your Excellency Commander said that the so-called ladies and ladies of big families in this city have no worse temperament than the high-ranking nobles outside. We can pick whoever we like, and play as we want.”

"Don't tell me, I really want to try."

"Let's explain the business first. The Duke asked us to bring so many materials, just to bring the latest batch of mechanical warriors into the battlefield. Let's go to the research institute first."

"."

Not long after, a group of people have arrived in Old Lingdun City.

After leaving the Duke's mansion, they went straight to the Mechanical Research Institute.

And because this is underground, lighting is needed, and there are shadows everywhere.

The few people didn't know it at all. After leaving the tower, the shadow of one of them was connected to the shadow in the corner of the wall, and then the shadow "separated" from the figure strangely, merged into the darkness of the corner, and quickly walked towards the outside of the Duke's mansion. up.

After getting away from the guards of the Black Tower, in a certain alley in Old Lingdon, the wandering shadow suddenly twisted. Then it became three-dimensional and full, and turned into a triangular-eyed man in an assassin costume in an instant.

This person is naturally the great pirate "Shadow Fiend" Tim Ashley.

His talent is [B-021-Shadow Imitator], who can hide his body in all shadows.

This underground world is full of shadows, providing too much convenience for his abilities.

"Tsk tsk. I was almost discovered. Fortunately, the boss gave that treasure, otherwise it would not be easy to sneak in with so many levels."

Tim muttered something in his heart, and also heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, if the pirates were to be caught, they would be sent directly to the gallows.

But in the blink of an eye, when he looked at the bustling inner city of Old Lingdon in front of him, the big pirate's eyes suddenly lit up.

Whether there is "oil and water" can be identified by looking at the buildings on the street and the clothes of pedestrians.

My dear, where the hell is a mine?

It is simply a bustling city!

These people are dressed so luxuriously, not to mention that they are a hundred times better than poor pirates, and they are not worse than those rich territories.

besides,

I heard from those guys that this is still the secret research base of Grand Duke Raphael!

Super mechanical warrior?

Even the paranoid mechanics of the Mechanic Sect of the Mafa Empire failed to break through the "completely modified mechanical limbs" technology, which actually succeeded here?

There are still thousands of years of ancient ruins, the legendary Dawn City?

Oh my god, that great alchemist of the 'half god', does he really exist?

There are still so many people, if they are caught and sold casually, aren't they all real money?

Isn't this the ideal place to plunder?

"Tsk tsk, it turns out that the secret of Duke Raphael's incomparable wealth is here. It has been rumored that the Raphael family has a 'mine' with endless treasures, and this is what happened!"

Tim was so excited that he didn't think he would take the risk to come here, but actually encountered a super big surprise.

The point is, being rich is still weak, this is the original sin!

"The highest miner in this city is Tier 3, hahaha this time I'm going to get rich. Hurry up and get the information out and let the boss send a fleet over!"

The big pirate thought of something, couldn't hide his joy, and his figure merged into the darkness again.

Meanwhile, underground.

The Ruins of Dawn is in a tower near the core of the city.

Su Lun and Mr. Jing are still waiting patiently in meditation.

Because part of the "forensic doctor" Gerald's memory fragments were stripped, it was not too difficult for Su Lun to understand the contents of the research diary.

He flipped through the contents of the notepad with great speed.

But these are just research notes, and the human body is one of the most complex living organisms, and it is still far from thorough research.

Su Lun read it once, and it will take a lot of time to digest it in the future.

Even Gerald himself often feels in his notes that he has only scratched the "skin" of bioalchemy, leaving one topic after another in his notes to be studied.

Su Lun closed the last notebook, exhaled a foul breath, and said with emotion in his heart: "The field of bioalchemy is really complicated enough."

He also finally understood that sentence, knowledge means that the more you know, the more doubts you will have.

After reading the notes, Su Lun finally knew why Gerald was wearing the [Fate-Usurper's Three-color Mask].

This guy once found a corpse of a humanoid ancient creature that was at least tens of thousands of years old, and then found that piece of living flesh in the corpse.

After experimental research, Gerald discovered that the piece of meat could fuse with human flesh and blood, making the subject super active and able to withstand the third-order state of [hormone rampage].

Then he used ancient alchemy to solve the not too strong rejection reaction of alien species, and sewed that piece of flesh to his body.

But he didn't realize that this thing would not only affect the flesh and blood, but also affect the spirit after a long time.

Then, his mind became deformed.

As the leader of the Umbrella Organization, there is naturally no shortage of suitable cursed objects.

He found this mask that can suppress the distortion of mental power.

【The three-color mask of the usurper】

Description: Once you wear a mask, no one loves you.

Curse feature: Wearing a mask can maintain absolute sanity, suppress other abnormal fluctuations in mental power, and resist mental power spell attacks no higher than the fifth level; if the mental power does not exceed 500, it will be affected by the curse feature. Once the mask is worn, you will be It can no longer be removed; it will also make you schizophrenic and eventually become a crazy monster; it can absorb other people's negative emotions and enhance the curse property.

Detailed Explanation: An ancient fortune-teller suffered backlash during divination, and often heard ravings from demons. In order to prevent himself from becoming insane, he refined this mask to suppress it; but the mask absorbed too much negative emotion and became It has become an item with super curse characteristics; it can be used as a career advancement material, with a mental power of 300, a dark spiritual power value of no less than 12W, and a fusion distortion probability of no more than 5%; fusion comprehension of 'distraction'. This is not schizophrenia, you can understand it as 'multitasking';

Su Lun also found that as his knowledge increased, the detailed explanation of the identified items became more detailed.

The essence of using cursed materials to take office is to allow alchemists to use this "foreign object" method to comprehend abilities that they cannot comprehend through normal means.

This "multitasking" ability is indeed very compatible with the Puppeteer.

In the spiritual realm, this ability is probably as rare as spatial ability.

Su Lun uses one mind to multitask, and can precisely control more than ten puppets;

And if you have multiple minds and multiple tasks, the number of manipulations will double.

This ability will also increase with the increase of mental strength.

Really ideal advanced material.

However, the advanced conditions are also very harsh.

As expected, other people need at least the fourth level to meet the advanced materials for fusion.

Su Lun reckoned that he could barely meet the 12W dark spiritual power requirement when he reached the third level. But this is also the premise that after his body has been transformed with the "X serum", his tolerance level is much higher than others at each level. Under normal circumstances, Tier 4 professionals may only have hundreds of thousands of dark spirit power.

There is also spiritual power.

Now that he has absorbed so many mental fragments, the spiritual value on the panel is only 192, which is still far from the fusion threshold of 300.

Fortunately, with the [Starry Sky Visualization Technique], visualization can also increase spiritual power.

But even with this top-level mental power secret method, it will take about a year and a half to reach that level.

Hmm. And [Death Harvester] talent.

If there are enough enemies encountered, it should be reduced by a large amount.

Su Lun is still counting the trophies of the elite regiments of the two previous families, identifying and classifying them, keeping some useful materials and equipment for himself, and then packing up those that are not needed, so that they can be sold in the future.

At this moment, Mr. Jing suddenly opened his eyes and said suddenly, "He is here!"

Su Lun also had a serious expression when he heard it, "Then I'm going?"

Mr. Jing nodded: "Yeah."

As she said that, she pinched both surgeon's seals, and a ray of light appeared on Su Lun's body.

Looking again, Su Lun found himself teleported outside the tower.

"What a magical technique"

Su Lun looked at the fading light on his body, then looked back at the tower, and shrugged.

Originally, he was asked to meet the fallen angel as a second-level rookie, but no matter how he looked at it, he was going to die.

Not to mention how powerful that person is, the guards of the Duke's Palace around him are definitely not something Su Lun can handle.

But with Mr. Youjing's technique, Su Lun didn't panic at all.

In order to prevent the stealth guard beside Princess Teresa from being killed by an unknown assassin, he walked straight into the depths of the mist without wearing a mask.

Now Su Lun has roughly figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

The brooch he found in Stormwind Manor back then was made of a special material that could carry a soul.

Now Su Lun has confirmed that the hidden message that cannot be identified is the ray of distraction hidden in the brooch of the fallen angel.

From this point of view, it was the right choice to bury it in the ground out of caution.

Otherwise, you may unknowingly become a "tool man" manipulated by that god.

But for some reason, the butterfly brooch fell into the hands of Princess Teresa of the Duke's Palace through some channel.

Then, probably bewitched by the soul of the fallen angel, Teresa was very enthusiastic about the ruins hunting and development of Dawn City.

Even came in person.

It is said to be wild hunting, but it actually mobilized the power of the entire Old Lingdun in order to find the sealed body of the god.

It's a pity that Mr. Jing and the others have almost cut off their beards.

As Su Lun walked all the way, the thoughts in his mind were also flying.

Not long after, he "unexpectedly" found a little girl floating in the mist.

Seeing that well-behaved appearance clearly, it is naturally the little ghost I saw not long ago, Pestoia.

When she saw Su Lun, she greeted her warmly, "Hi, Mr. Su Lun, we meet again."

Su Lun also smiled. Although she already knew why she appeared here, she deliberately asked, "Pestoia, why are you here?"

Pestoia tilted her head and thought for a while, as if she had woken up after sleepwalking, "Huh? I didn't know you were nearby, so I came to find you."

The fallen angel knew all the truth, but Pestoia had no idea that there was a "god" soul hidden in her soul.

Su Lun did not continue to ask this question.

He took the initiative to extend his hand, motioning for Pestoia to pull him.

Pestoia didn't mind either, and happily reached out and grabbed the hand that came over.

And at this time, she seemed to have discovered something, and floated very close in front of Su Lun, Yaobi sniffed, "Ah, you seem to have a nice smell on you~"

"What is the taste?"

Naturally, Su Lun knew that it was the smell of [Isaac's Alchemy Heart]. The fallen angel came here for this, but he pretended to be stupid on purpose.

After all, with a normal script, he shouldn't know anything.

I don't know the existence of the fallen angel, I don't know what kind of divine body, and I don't know what the millennium layout is, so I should only regard Pestoia as a ghost "good friend".

That fallen angel was very cunning. He was defeated by Sir Isaac back then, and his body was cut and sealed.

Although he is just a lowly human being, he will never underestimate this kind of enemy.

He also suspected that there were other plots hidden in the "fire torture" back then.

Although a thousand years have passed, the once prosperous Dawn City has been turned into ruins, and the enemy has disappeared.

But before he figured it out, he would never give up the "talisman" of Pestoia at will.

Su Lun got right into the topic, took Pestoya's hand, and said, "Didn't you entrust me with something last time? I met Ms. Sereya."

"ah"

Hearing this, Pestoya's eyes were full of complexities, including nervousness, resentment, and expectation.

Su Lun took out the ring Serena gave him, and motioned, "Give me your hand."

Without giving Miss Phantom any time to think, Su Lun took her soft little hand and put the ring on her index finger.

The ring doesn't look like anything special.

The fallen angel thought that Su Lun didn't know His existence, and continued to pretend.

And our Miss Ghost is really defenseless.

While wearing the ring, Su Lun said calmly: "I asked your question for you. Ms. Sereya asked me to bring you a sentence, she said"

Hearing this, Pestoia was full of anticipation, and had completely forgotten to pull her hand back.

After a pause, Su Lun looked at her, and then slowly said three words, "She loves you."

"."

Pestoia was stunned as she listened, her big sparkling eyes were full of bewilderment.

She never thought that she would hear such words.

A thousand years of resentment,

nowhere to vent,

Suddenly it turned into endless grievances.

However, before Pestoia thought about it,

At this moment, the ring in his hand suddenly glowed with scorching light.

Pestoya didn't feel anything unusual, but the existence hidden in the depths of her soul let out a shriek like fried hair.

At the same time, violent commotion suddenly broke out in Teresa's team about one or two kilometers away.

An indescribable terrifying will suddenly descended on the entire ruins!

Thanks to 'Flame Red Snow' for the regular rewards, and 'Dongfang Wufei' for 500 coins, and 'Rose Falling'. Thanks to the three of you.
