Mechanical Alchemist

The second two three free chapters

PS. I went to see the waist today, and I came back in a hurry. I wrote a chapter and found it was full of water, so I didn't plan to post it. But I just said that I will not be salty fish this month, and I can't ask for leave on the 1st. It is still issued as a free chapter. Just take a look at it. Take a day off.

From a long distance, Su Lun saw the three-masted sailing ship sailing north.

The flag fluttering on the mast has patterns of gold coins and oranges. This is the flag of the Union of Chambers of Commerce of the Luying Empire, not pirates.

The speed of the lifeboat is too slow, not to mention the poor comfort, it is better to have a big boat.

Su Lun took out the flare and fired three rounds into the sky.

Meanwhile, on the deck of a merchant ship.

A flock of seagulls was sitting on the mast, and one of them flew down from time to time to pick up the crumbs of bread on the deck.

A little boy in a deer hat and plaid overalls is looking out to sea with a telescope. His name is Jike, and he is the youngest son of Benson James, a fur merchant in the capital of Luying.

This ship is also his father's sea ship.

He looked very excited as if it was his first voyage.

At this time, Jike happened to see the smoke flares in the sky, and shouted loudly: "Father! Look, there are people calling for help!"

Hearing the call, a middle-aged man with a beard came out. Holding a binoculars, he saw the two of Su Lun on the life raft: "Oh, they should be survivors of a storm~"

Putting down the binoculars, he shouted at the first mate on the boat: "Mr. Robertson, please move the boat over, we have to bring the two survivors."

Hearing this, there was a response from the cab, "Okay, Boss Benson!"

Jike was still looking through the binoculars, and exclaimed: "Wow, dad, their lifeboat is so special, it's actually inflatable! It's not made in a factory assembly line, there are obviously traces of hand-stitching, and there are very advanced enchantments to make this lifeboat. The raft man is a genius!"

After a pause, he said to himself again: "Oh my god, why didn't I think of designing this kind of life raft? Folded up, its weight and volume will be very small, and it's perfect for putting on a boat. But how? What about inflating? By the way, compressed gas cylinders! The raft must be using compressed gas cylinders, which can be quickly inflated in times of crisis.”

Benson touched his son's head, showing a loving smile, "Our Jike will be the most powerful designer in the empire in the future."

Jike turned around and showed an innocent and romantic smile, "Father, I want to ask that gentleman later, if you can buy the patent, it would be great if you allow me to imitate it. If we can wear this kind of lifeboat , will be much better.”

Before he could finish speaking, a pretty brunette woman with heavy make-up came out of the cabin.

After hearing what she said before, she frowned and said, "Hey, Benson, how can you just let strangers aboard the boat? What if those people are plotting something wrong? I said, leave them alone. I heard that there are pirates posing as shipwrecked, and then murdered the owner after boarding the cargo"

The middle-aged man looked at the woman and said with a doting smile: "Honey, don't think so badly. This place is close to the coast, and there are very few pirates. I also checked just now, and there are no ships nearby. We are people drifting at sea, maybe one day we will encounter such a bad accident ourselves. Help if you can. Besides, even if there is an emergency, isn’t there Captain Laman? He used to be Baron Peeps The knights of the family, the real third-tier powerhouses, and pirates, we can also solve them."

Jake also said: "Yes, Aunt Marianne, the teacher taught us that it is a virtue to help those who are in distress at sea and to help them within their ability."

The woman with heavy makeup seemed a little unhappy when she heard what the father and son said, "It's up to you."

Su Lun watched the merchant ship approach and waved to the people by the fence on the ship. Thinking about it, there was also a touch of joy for the rest of his life on his face.

He looked at the middle-aged man who was obviously the person in charge, and said, "Oh, kind sir, it is very lucky for us to have you. We have been at sea for many days."

The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head. He asked, "Sir, what's your name? Are you in a shipwreck?"

Su Lun knew that this was a routine inquiry before boarding the ship, so he said: "You can call me Nicholas, I am a rune teacher. This is my wife. We are from Anrogos County in the south, I originally planned to take an adventure trip at sea, but unexpectedly encountered a storm and the ship sank."

Su Lun knew that he needed a new identity, and the identity of "teacher" was quite suitable. It would be less troublesome to explain than adventurers, mercenaries, etc., and it was easier to be trusted.

The middle-aged man listened and saw that Su Lun's skin did not look like a pirate who had been exposed to the wind and sun all day. He didn't say much: "We are going to the northern port of Kadurante, and the ship will not stop on the way. If If you don't mind, please come up."

Su Lun gave a gentleman's salute, "Thank you so much."

Kadurant Port is the largest commercial area in the northern part of the Luying Empire. There is a natural deep-sea harbor there, and it is also known as the "Golden Port of the Empire".

Further north is the boundless northern ice field, and the silent forest rich in monster resources. There are many adventurers who go to the north to hunt monsters, as well as various fur and timber merchants on this route.

The middle-aged man spoke, and the sailors on the ship lowered the rope ladder.

At this time, Su Lun greeted Mr. Mirror in the raft.

After all, she was asking for help on a ship as a shipwrecked person. She couldn't wear a cloak, but even with a wide-brimmed hat that shielded her from the sun, everyone on board looked shocked as soon as she showed her face.

The residents of Old Lyndon have not been exposed to the sun, and their skin is generally fair.

Su Lun's original body was an outsider, not too delicate.

As soon as Mr. Ke Jing appeared on the stage, his fair and delicate skin immediately gave others a sense of brilliance. Moreover, Mr. Jing was already glamorous and beautiful, even if half of his face was covered by the brim of his hat, the sailors on board were amazed.

"Oh my God, this lady is so beautiful."

"Which noble lady is this~"

"This gentleman and lady are a perfect match."

"."

Small words of praise came from beside my ears.

Feeling that there was no malice in those gazes, Su Lun didn't care.

With his arms around Mr. Jing's slender waist, he climbed the rope ladder and jumped onto the boat.

After all, Mr. Jing's current personality is a delicate middle-class lady.

After finally stepping on the hard deck, Su Lun let out a long breath. Finally, I don't have to enjoy the kind of torture that shakes my brains away in a kayak.

A good-looking skin will always give people a lot of impression points.

Beauty is justice.

Both Su Lun and Mr. Jing had high charisma values. When they boarded the boat, they were greeted with kind smiles from everyone.

The second officer on the ship was a bearded man who smelled of alcohol and received them warmly.

Now the empty ship is going to the North, and there are still empty cabins on board.

But the cabin of the cargo ship is not big, so Su Lun and Mr. Jing were arranged in a sailor cabin not much bigger than a life raft.

Bunk bunk, quadruple room.

Fortunately, no one else.

Su Lun and the others stayed in the cabin.

On the deck, the sailors were still discussing.

"Oh my God, I've never seen such a beautiful lady in my life."

"Yes, just now when they got on the boat, I took a sneak peek. My God, that lady is just...just like the most beautiful pearl in the sea!"

"."

The ship was not big, and the sound on the deck was transmitted to the captain's cabin.

The sailors were chatting vigorously, but Marianne, who was wearing heavy makeup, looked more and more gloomy.

These sailors praised her beauty before!

Oh damn!

She cursed secretly in her heart, returned to the captain's cabin, found Benson who was calculating the accounts, and complained: "Benson, don't you think the origins of those two people just now are strange? That man seems to be a very powerful professional Or. He was able to jump onto the boat with a person in his arms.”

Before he finished speaking, Benson raised his head and smiled: "Mr. Nicholas is a respected rune teacher, he must be a professional. There is nothing strange about it."

"Teacher Rune?"

Marianne sneered contemptuously: "Hehe. Why do I look like a slave who eloped from a rich family."

Benson shook his head, "You can fake your identity, but you can't fake your temperament. Those two Mr. Nicholas are very refined gentlemen."

Marianne wanted to say something else, but at this time, the little boy hurried in, "Father, can I go to that Mr. Nicholas? I want to ask him if he can let me study their inflatable lifeboat!"

Benson looked at his son, "No. Now that gentleman just boarded the boat and needs to rest. It would be very rude for you to disturb him now."

Jike was stunned instantly, "Oh."

When Marianne heard this, she rolled her eyes, thought of something, and said suddenly: "Benson, I think we can let Jike go. Didn't that guy say he is a rune teacher? It just so happens that Jike's rune major is not bad." , Let him go to 'ask for advice', and you will know if it is true or not."

After a pause, she said forcefully, "I don't want people of unknown origin to be mixed into our boat."

Jike is smart, and he rolled his small eyes, and immediately said: "I am willing!"

Benson frowned slightly, originally thinking something was wrong. But seeing that his wife didn't know why, she really cared, so she agreed.

Su Lun and Mr. Jing are resting in the cabin.

The two of them are used to this quiet and alone way.

Su Lun frowned slightly, holding a thick bronzing book and flipping through it.

This is a book of advanced knowledge related to fourth-order enchanting, and he is a little struggling to read it now.

When you encounter something you don’t understand, take notes and mark it down, and then find some reference materials. If you don’t understand it again, just ask Mr. Jing who is meditating on the opposite bed.

And at this moment, the door of the room rang with a "tuk-tuk-tuk".

A slightly immature male voice came from outside the door, "Mr. Nicholas, is it convenient for you now?"

Su Lun put away the classics, walked over and opened the door, and saw a little boy in overalls standing at the door with a book in his arms.

He remembered that this was the son of Captain Benson.

"Sorry to bother you."

The little boy looked at Su Lun, bowed politely, and introduced himself: "Sir, my name is Jike, I just graduated from the 'Luying Royal Preparatory Academy' this year, and I want to be a designer in the future."

Su Lun had the impression of the term "Luying Royal Preparatory Academy" in his memory.

It is roughly equivalent to the "Peking University Affiliated High School" and other junior colleges in the previous life. Outstanding graduates can enter the "Luying Royal War College".

Su Lun had a smile on his face: "It's not a disturbance. What can you do?"

Jike blinked, and said expectantly: "Sir, did you design that inflatable lifeboat? I would like to ask, can you let me study it?"

Su Lun also saw that the little boy really liked it, so he said without hesitation: "Of course. If you want, I can give you the kayak."

You also need to pay the fare to take someone else's boat.

What's more, there are spare parts for this thing.

"Really?"

Hearing this, Jake had a bright and excited smile on his face.

At this time, at this time, he remembered that he seemed to have other tasks, and said again: "Oh, and. I heard from my father that you are a rune teacher. I happened to encounter a few problems and wanted to ask you for advice."

When Su Lun heard this, he immediately realized his real intention of coming, but he didn't care, and greeted him, "Oh? Come in and talk."

The little boy took out the rune tome he was holding, and then began to ask questions.

"Sir, why did the engraving of this 'Spiral Wind Rune' fail?"

"What does the solidification of fire runes have in the direction of material selection?"

"I tried to engrave double runes before, but it failed. Can you help me find out what the problem is?"

"."

First of all, some problems are still normal, almost the first-order runes that this Gek can touch.

But slowly, the little boy asked second-order runes that he couldn't understand at all, and some esoteric questions that were considered very difficult for rune apprentices.

Obviously, this is not asking for advice, but more like a "test".

However, this did not bother Su Lun.

He has mastered the knowledge of ordinary runes below the third level. Even if it is a rune that he has never seen before, he can roughly deduce its effect after taking a look.

He also took the trouble to answer in detail one by one.

In the end, after asking more than ten questions, Jick himself didn't know what to ask.

He found that Mr. Nicholas could not be troubled by any problem!

After completing the "task", Jake didn't stay in Su Lun's cabin, and ran back to the main cabin excitedly.

He said to Benson who was still sorting out the books: "Oh, Dad, you don't know, that Mr. Nicholas is definitely a very knowledgeable rune teacher! I feel that he is even better than the teachers in our academy. What? No problem can trouble him!"

Hearing this, Benson looked at the woman with heavy makeup who was touching up her makeup, and said with a smile, "Let me tell you?"

Marianne looked displeased and went out the door.

The woman went on deck and rounded to the stern.

A big rough hand suddenly pinched her buttocks wrapped in a long skirt, and wanted to touch the soft flesh in the skirt very rudely.

Marianne didn't seem to be surprised at all, knocked off the hand, and cursed softly: "Damn it, Laman, aren't you afraid of being seen?"

As soon as these words came out, the man behind her came out, he was a vulture man dressed as a swordsman. Unsatisfied, he pinched it a few more times, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, no one will find out. Besides, so what if you find out?"

Marianne: "I thought about doing it these two days, but I didn't expect the weather to be so good. Now there are two more people whose origins are unknown."

Laman: "Forget it, let's do it on the way to the Northland. Pirates are rampant there, and it's justified to die a few people."
