Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 241 I Owe You A Favor

Katyusha is a very common name. In the northern part of the Luying Empire, many young girls had this nickname.

Su Lun didn't feel any malice from her, so he bargained patiently.

However, the girl didn't seem to be short of money, but she was more interested in the two rings.

"I can pay you more ransom to redeem these two rings"

"Sorry, Mr. Nicholas, it's not about the money. I'm an 'astrologist', although I'm an apprentice. But I need to learn a lot of boring knowledge. This ring can bring me a lot of help. Losing it, I think it will be very distressing. You know, I bought it on the black market, so I'm not sure who the owner of the ring is. Sorry, I didn't question your meaning. It's just...just like this, it will make me Very difficult."

"Can I exchange it with other things? I have some manuscripts of 'Master Arnald' here, about astrology, you should have heard of it"

"Is it "Constellation Records"? I also have a set of printed copies at home, sorry."

"."

Su Lun also felt that what the girl said made sense.

The goblin communicator is okay, there is a blood medium contract, Su Lun is not dead, and it is useless for others to take it.

But that [Serea's Blessing] is of great use to alchemists. Especially for professionals who need to learn a lot of reading, it can be regarded as a "little artifact".

Although the two met for the first time, Su Lun could tell from the simple communication that this freckled girl was very knowledgeable. Obviously well-educated, the tutor is also very good, and appears very polite.

Moreover, she is an "astrologer", and indeed she has a great demand for knowledge, so it is reasonable to be unwilling to give up.

Moreover, it is not feasible to exchange things. This girl's family is very rich, and it sounds like she has a lot of good things in her collection.

Perhaps a high-ranking aristocrat traveling in disguise?

But Su Lun was also surprised by such a polite little nobleman who was willing to patiently bargain with a strange commoner.

Except for those forbidden items that couldn't be taken out, he felt that he couldn't take out anything that would interest her.

This is very embarrassing.

However, Su Lun had the patience to talk slowly, but he did not have the negative emotions in his heart.

While talking and talking, suddenly, Su Lun heard a whisper in his ear!

A red light flashed in his eyes for a moment, and an uncontrollable mania emerged from the bottom of his heart.

It was as if a demon kept urging her: kill her! Kill her to get it back!

Realizing something, Su Lun suddenly closed his eyes, trying to forcibly suppress the bursting desire with his will.

The moment he closed his eyes, he seemed to see a monstrous sea of ​​blood in front of him, trying to swallow the whole world in his heart.

Others looked at him still sitting there, but they didn't know that Su Lun's clown mask was full of ferocity.

He will never be a slave to his emotions.

He drew out a tranquilizer and injected himself.

In fact, there are some evil thoughts hidden in everyone's heart, which are almost animal instincts, such as killing, possession, mating, greed, and jealousy. It's just because reason is suppressed, this is human nature.

Su Lun's mental power is now deformed, and those primitive desires have become extremely powerful, far exceeding reason.

After the potion was poured in, he felt a trace of clarity. Forcibly suppressing those negative emotions is like putting a wild animal in an iron cage, exerting all the strength of the whole body, and the whole body trembles slightly.

With a "click", a corner of the wooden seat was crushed by him.

Suppressing the killing intent, Su Lun spat out a word with gnashing teeth, "Get lost!"

It is a snarl that denies desire to take over the body.

It was this weird scene like a drug addict's drug addiction, which made the little girl named Katyusha visibly tremble in fright.

She looked at Su Lun, as if she saw something again, instead of fleeing, she asked with a little concern: "Mr. Nicholas, you... don't look well?"

Su Lun heard the voices from the outside world, and the agitation in his heart was gradually suppressed. Only then did he come to his senses and realized that he was still negotiating.

As if after a fierce battle, I felt my back wet in cold sweat.

He also probably guessed that this was the aftereffect of killing that "poisonous frog" Bonn with the phantom of death.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Su Lun finally came to his senses, and said in an apologetic tone, "Sorry, I scared you."

After a pause, he said again: "As you can see, there is indeed something wrong with my body, so I must get my two rings back."

Hearing this, Katyusha immediately showed hesitation on her face, "Oh."

Thinking about it, she took out a small silver ball and put it on the table, saying: "I know some healing techniques. I can see that you, sir, seem to have some minor mental problems. I made this [Star Amulet], It can calm the mind and calm the mind. You can keep it by your side, and maybe it can bring some insignificant help to others."

What the other party said was very humble and full of kindness.

Su Lun took a look and identified the attributes.

【Star Amulet】

Detailed Explanation: Made of cold star iron, a talisman that can calm people down; although the inscription technique of the runes is rough, it is undeniable that this is a very scarce material that can carry energy.

When he looked at the talisman, his expression suddenly became complicated.

The runes are very rough, and it looks like they were inscribed by apprentices.

However, this material is really rare.

Metals such as meteorites are extremely scarce resources. They are usually used to forge high-level weapons and some special alchemy techniques, and their prices have always remained high.

The price of such a large piece of [Cold Star Meteorite] that can carry spiritual power is really hard to say.

This thing will be very valuable when it meets someone who needs it!

Such as Su Lun herself.

A little modification of the rune, the effect of suppressing mental distortion is no worse than the clown mask on his face.

He glanced at the talisman, then at the freckled girl in front of him, without hiding his thoughts, and asked directly: "Miss Katyusha, your talisman is really useful to me. Excuse me, what price do I have to pay to buy it?" it?"

Putting this thing on the table made him feel that his restless emotions were soothed.

If you stay by your side, if you really encounter an emergency, it may have the miraculous effect of "saving your life".

"If you need it, I will give it to you."

Katyusha shook her head, showing an innocent smile, as if very proud: "The teacher taught us that the stars are gifts from nature to human beings, and even we astrologers only keep them temporarily. People who need it."

"Send it to me?"

Having said this, Su Lun felt that he should not take this talisman.

Didn't expect that the other party gave me something instead of redeeming it?

Is it meant to be exchanged?

If it were someone else, Su Lun would still feel that the other party had bad intentions.

But for the girl in front of him who seemed to have bright stars in her eyes, he couldn't bear any malice in his heart.

"yes."

Katyusha seemed not to be on guard again, and told a stranger the purpose of her trip, "This time I came to the extreme arctic ice field to practice, but I also came to look for meteorites on the ice field. Only in the white snow field where they are easy to spot."

"."

With the other party's attitude, Su Lun didn't know how to speak.

That goblin communicator must be taken back, and [Serea's Blessing] if it wasn't a gift from his teacher, he really meant to exchange it for the talisman at this moment.

Su Lun also expressed his attitude, saying: "No, in the eyes of an alchemist, everything is equal. Sorry, Miss Katyusha, we have never met before, please make a price. Otherwise, I will not I will accept your gift."

"It's really not necessary, you see, I still have a lot."

Katyusha looked indifferent.

As she spoke, she took out a box like a silly girl from a landlord's house.

When I opened it, there were at least a dozen large and small meteorites of various colors, blue, purple, fluorescent, and pitch-black.

This box of stones is worth more than a box of top-quality gems if you really want to go to the auction house!

Su Lun watched without much fluctuation in his eyes.

But I can also see that this girl is really not short of money.

Katyusha looked at him as if he didn't seem to be wavering, she thought about it and said, "If you really want to pay, sir, give me a gold coin."

With that said, she took out two more rings.

Although the freckled girl had a bit of reluctance on her face, she said generously: "Sir, you need these two rings more, so I will return them to their original owners."

"."

Su Lun didn't expect to get something so easily.

He felt that it was meaningless to talk about money at this moment. After thinking about it, he took out a gold coin, put it on the table, and said seriously, "I owe you a favor, Miss Katyusha."

Things are expensive, and his favor is not bad.

Upon hearing this, Katyusha readily agreed: "Good!"

She picked up the gold coin with an innocent smile on her face.

Su Lun left the cafe.

The girl named Katyusha he met got back the things, and he felt very comfortable.

However, more doubts.

In this world, no one will be nice to you for no reason.

Especially strangers.

Either this Katyusha is really a greenhouse flower from a big family, well cultivated and innocent;

either

That's great social skills.

Su Lun is proficient in a lot of strange knowledge, and he prefers the latter.

The biggest reason is her erratic soul fire in perception.

But no matter how much he doubted it, the fact was that Su Lun had an extra talisman in his hand.

This favor is worth it no matter what.

He also suspected that the other party was plotting wrongdoing.

But no matter how you think about it, I feel that this may not be true.

It was an accident that the ring entered the black market, and it should also be a coincidence that Katyusha bought it.

What's more, Su Lun feels that the current self is not worthy of being calculated.

If it is an enemy, besides Grand Duke Rafael, it must be someone from the Regadi family.

But no matter how you think about it, it shouldn't be an enemy.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have sat down to negotiate and even gave gifts.

He also guessed that the other party might see that he had some special abilities, or the magical "astrology", or the "teacher" she kept mentioning.

An astrologer has some abilities similar to prophecy to avoid disadvantages. Perhaps, she wants to make a good relationship?

Su Lun didn't think too much about it. He had all-seeing eyes and wasn't afraid of being tampered with.

After getting the communicator, he walked on the street and dialed Mr. Jing's communication immediately, "Sister, I have a question for you."

Not long after, a response came from the communicator: "Do you want to ask a question about mental distortion?"

"Um."

Mr. Jing guessed everything, Su Lun was not surprised.

He has the matter of [Thanatos's surrogate death puppet] in his hands, and his senior sister is the only insider.

What's more, with the communicator, she can feel the location and life and death of everyone in the mirror organization.

It also saves a lot of explaining effort.

The communicator pondered for a moment, and then came a response: "I've seen someone use the 'Death Puppet' twice before, but it ended badly in the end. Mental power distortion is irreversible, and it's very troublesome to solve it."

This is the benefit of having someone behind you, who knows everything when asked.

This thing appeared in the Ruins of Dawn, so someone must have used it before.

It's troublesome, but it's not unsolvable.

Su Lun listened patiently.

Mr. Jing said again: "If you want to solve it, first, you come to me to help you suppress it, but the symptoms will not be cured, and the problem will become bigger and bigger in the end; second, find a higher-level spiritual power secret method; third, find Some special soul curses are forcibly suppressed, but that kind of thing is rare, I will notify other members of the mirror organization to help you pay attention; there are also some special ones, such as the 'fountain of youth' that can cure all diseases. You can Look at your situation and consider which one to choose.”

"Fountain of Youth?"

"It's on a very dangerous island in the West Sea. My father went there once. A thousand years have passed, and I'm not sure if I'm still there. Besides, I'm not sure I can go there, so I don't suggest you go now."

"."

As expected of the daughter of a demigod's family, this is the truth.

What she hadn't seen, her father had seen too.

Her father had never seen it, and had heard of it.

Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the first point, at least he had a "guarantee" plan.

But the latter is indeed not very feasible.

What I am learning now is [Starry Sky Visualization Technique], which is already the world's top secret method of spiritual power. Higher ones can only be "divine arts", which is unrealistic.

There are also those special cursed objects, which are definitely not easy to find.

While Su Lun was still thinking about which plan was more reliable, Mr. Jing suddenly asked again: "Oh, right. You are in the Northland now? Then there is another way. The great druids of the Daru tribe all Good at healing, they may have a solution to mental distortion. However, there may be no arch druids now. You can ask them and give me a few words by the way."

Su Lun: "What does Archdruid mean?"

Mr. Jing: "Druids above level seven."

"."

Su Lun felt that there might not be any.

If the Dalu tribe was guarded by a seventh-level powerhouse, it would not be like this. The entire tribe is being captured by slave hunters every day.

The method is to roughly understand that my senior sister has already said this, so I don’t need to ask others.

Suddenly, Su Lun thought of the situation where he heard whispers during the negotiation just now and almost lost his mind, and asked again: "Oh, yes! Sister, I still have a little doubt and I want to ask you."

He explained his situation clearly in a few words.

Obviously, Mr. Jing also seemed very surprised, "Your reaper talent has awakened for the second time?"

"Um."

"Very good. After all, it is very difficult to awaken S-level talents twice."

Mr. Jing exaggerated, and his tone became calm again, explaining: "That kind of whispering is different from the situation of using the 'surrogate doll'. This is the whispering of the dead that the law of death has communicated with the world and heard. It's normal, even from To some extent, it’s a good thing. But before solving your mental distortion problem, it’s best to use that ability less.”

"oh."

Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Just when he thought he had nothing to say and was about to hang up the call, a calm voice came from the other end, "Be careful yourself. Send me a call if you have anything to do."

Su Lun responded with a smile, "Yes."

Although her senior sister's tone is cold, she actually takes good care of him in her heart.

After hanging up the communication, Su Lun had a general understanding of his current situation.

Now that he got the [Star Amulet], he reckoned that as long as he didn't use the ability of Death Phantom casually, it would last at least a few months.

Thinking about it, he planned to ask a Dalu tribe first.

After all, it is very convenient, and many Dalu people can be found in the slave market.

It would be even better if there really was an Archdruid, or if some solutions were left behind to completely solve his mental distortion problem.
