Mechanical Alchemist

Jake calmed down a lot.

Although he had only met him once before, Su Lun had a good impression of this warm, cheerful, polite, smart and studious little boy.

But now Jike is like a puppet.

Leaning on a cane, he followed Su Lun silently.

After walking a few steps and leaving the central square, Jike still couldn't hold back and said, "Are you Mr. Nicholas?"

His voice trembled because of the freezing.

Su Lun said lightly: "Yes."

"It's really you"

Jake had mixed feelings in his heart.

He has no relatives and no reason in Blizzard City. Now that his father died, all the members of the Chamber of Commerce became the subordinates of that vicious woman, and no one would come to save him.

He never expected that the gentleman who was rescued at sea would come to save him.

But thinking about it, Jike thought of something, and said worriedly: "Mr. Nicholas, thank you for your rescue. But you shouldn't have come forward to save me. I'm not dead, that couple of dogs and men will definitely send people to hunt me down. You will too implicated."

"Hehe. No problem."

Su Lun smiled indifferently.

He naturally sensed the two sneaky guys following behind him.

The level of tracking is very amateur, far worse than those of last night, and looks more like a bastard from Blizzard City.

When Jike heard this, the worry in his eyes remained undiminished.

Although he knew that Mr. Nicholas was a powerful rune teacher,

But Raman is a strong Tier 3 professional!

Su Lun didn't explain much, and asked casually: "What happened, how did you become like this?"

When Ji Ke heard this, grief and indignation welled up in his heart, "That pair of dogs and men murdered my father at sea. The old servant tried his best to block the disaster for me, so I jumped into the sea and escaped because of the inflatable life raft you sent me, Mr. I survived by luck. Later, I came to Blizzard City, wanting to expose the vicious face of the dog and man. I didn’t expect that woman to be prepared. As soon as I showed up, I was almost caught. Fortunately, there was a bomb, and it was broken. One leg, this is how I escaped my life"

The plot was similar to Su Lun's guess.

That Captain Raman hooked up with Jake's stepmother Marianne long ago. Even the two were originally male and female thieves, disguised their identities, specially seduced the rich, and then made accidents to seize the family property.

Originally, Benson didn't plan to take his son Jike on a long voyage, but he couldn't stand the pillow wind blowing from Marianne, so he brought him along.

Only when the heir is killed, as a widow, can she inherit the Benson family's property.

But now, due to a little accident, Jike survived.

It also means that if he is not killed, the couple will not be able to get Benson's property.

That Laman was just an ordinary Tier 3 job, Su Lun didn't take it to heart. Instead, he was more interested in Jike's affairs, and asked, "Did you make the bomb you used in the hotel before?"

Jake nodded: "Yeah."

Su Lun remembered the liquid bomb that was more powerful than conventional explosives before, and asked, "The special nitro compound used in the bomb was also prepared by yourself?"

Although Jike didn't know why Su Lun asked this, he nodded, and said one more sentence: "Yes. I found an incomplete formula of ancient goblin explosives in the library of the academy. After many experiments, I finally figured it out. .”

Su Lun found it very interesting. In this way, this guy is really talented in making explosives. "Don't you want to be a designer? Why do you like making explosives?"

"I"

Hearing this, Jake fell silent.

As if thinking of something, he sighed with sadness in his eyes, and then said: "No, that is actually my father's expectation. He wants me to become an architect in the future. You know, even if you are in the upper class of the empire Society, designers are also very decent professions. My father doesn't want me to tinker with those dangerous explosives, I"

Speaking of this, Jake's eyes were already full of tears.

My most beloved father is gone.

He felt sad, his face was full of contradictions and ferocity: "But in fact, my real ideal is to become an 'ammunition expert'. My dream is to create the most powerful bomb in the world. I like the way gunpowder burns and blooms." At that moment, I."

As he spoke, his expression darkened, and his voice suddenly weakened, "If I can make a more powerful bomb, my father won't die."

Su Lun listened expressionlessly.

Hatred is often the biggest driving force for people to make progress, and what Jike is enduring now may not be a good thing for his future.

Speaking of this, Jike took another look at Su Lun and asked, "Mr. Nicholas, do you know... that vicious woman was killed?"

"No. She only lost one leg."

Su Lun shook his head, sensed something, and added: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have hired someone to watch you."

Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Jike's face, "Then you."

At this time, Su Lun had already led him into an alley between houses with red brick walls.

Instinctively, Jike looked back, and happened to find the two amateur stalkers who followed sneakily. But before he wanted to say anything, he saw the bodies of the two who had just chased into the alley suddenly stopped there.

Without warning, with a "bang", the head fell to the ground.

"this"

Jike didn't know how Su Lun did it, but he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

He had never thought that killing people would be so lighthearted. Looking at the human fountain in front of him, he was also stunned, "You did it?"

Su Lun smiled and didn't say much.

He walked over, tidied up the corpse very skillfully, and greeted calmly: "Let's go."

Blizzard City does not allow the use of force, but only if it is discovered by the security guards.

If you can kill people quietly, and the body is disposed of, the murder case will not be established.

Jike looked at the back of the man who calmly left after the murder, and a storm arose in his heart.

How could Mr. Nicholas be so strong? !

Su Lun found a nearby hotel and settled Jike down.

The injury on his body is not a big problem. After using the medicine for frostbite, he will recover within a few days.

Jike, who survived the catastrophe, was wrapped up like a mummy, with a grateful face, "Thank you for saving me, Mr. Nicholas."

Su Lun took off the rubber gloves used for surgery, and said lightly, "You're welcome. You and your father saved me once."

He looked at Jike, although the injury was fine, but a broken leg was also a big trouble.

Thinking of helping people to the end, Su Lun took out another steam mechanical leg and said, "If you don't mind, I'm going to install a mechanical prosthesis for you."

This is the best of the trophies seized in Old Lingdon before. Although it is not neuromechanical technology, it is completely fine for daily life and some simple battles.

Jike stared at the mechanical leg, his eyes straightened immediately.

He is no ordinary civilian, there is a special course on steam mechanics in the preparatory academy. Seeing this well-made mechanical leg, his eyes immediately stared straight: There is actually a miniature steam boiler? This is probably a military-grade mechanical leg!

He wanted it, but he thought of something, he hesitated and said: "It's me. But Mr. Nicholas, I don't have the money to buy such an advanced mechanical leg now."

Su Lun shook his head, "No money. It's for you."

With that said, he began to disassemble the installation device of the mechanical leg.

Su Lun's reserve of mechanical knowledge allowed him to easily disassemble the finished mechanical leg. I even took out some parts and modified it temporarily to make it more suitable for small people.

Not long after, the mechanical legs were installed.

Jike immediately got off the ground and walked around, running and jumping without hindrance, except for the slight mechanical sound, his movements were not much different from real legs.

Seeing that he could walk normally, a smile appeared on his face for the first time in so many days.

Su Lun felt that he had done everything he had to do, and the favor was paid off, so he didn't intend to stay any longer, and asked: "Live a good life in the future. You can take revenge slowly, and don't even think about dying with that kind of person. It's not worth it. "

Jike watched Su Lun leave, and there were so many words of gratitude in his heart, but he couldn't say a word at the moment, "Wait, Mr. Nicholas!"

Su Lun looked back at him.

"Please. Please"

Jake stuttered from nervousness.

After hesitating for a while, he bowed abruptly, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Please accept me as your disciple!"

He hasn't discovered where, the Mr. Nicholas in front of him is not only an excellent rune teacher, but also proficient in medical skills and very sophisticated mechanical technology.

Mysterious and powerful.

There is no better candidate for a teacher than such a polymath!

The most important thing is that the calm killing attitude before has been firmly engraved in Jake's heart.

At that moment, he finally knew clearly what kind of person he wanted to be in the future.

"."

When Su Lun heard this, he thought about many things in his mind.

He thought of his teacher Serena, and the scene when he first met Mr. Hei.

The Jike in front of him has good talent and a good heart. After this catastrophe, there is also a lot of room for growth in the future.

Just missing a little opportunity.

He also intends to teach, but he just finds it a little troublesome.

There was not much surprise in his eyes, he said lightly: "My identity is a bit special. If you become my disciple, you may be involved in countless times of trouble in the future. And even if I accept you as a disciple, I There won't be a lot of time to teach you either. Have you figured it out?"

"I've made up my mind!"

Ji Ke said firmly, "Father is dead, and I don't have any relatives anymore. Please accept me as a disciple!"

As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee and spread his hands forward, which is a master-student ceremony. It means: Teacher, please grant me knowledge.

When Su Lun saw him doing this great gift, he pondered for a moment: "Okay! From now on, you will be my disciple."

Hearing this, Jike was overjoyed and shouted respectfully: "Teacher!"

It was Su Lun's first time accepting apprentices, and he was a little confused, not knowing what to do. "What do you want to learn?" he asked.

Jike was also a little surprised when he heard it. Didn't the teacher teach his disciples what he is good at?

He also responded obediently: "What the teacher teaches, the disciples learn."

Su Lun frowned slightly, and said: "I have a lot of knowledge. I know a little about alchemy, runes, medical treatment, machinery, various arts, mysticism, and pharmacy. Alchemists must be knowledgeable. But human energy The future path is limited, and you need to make your own choices.”

Su Lun knew his own way, and it was not suitable for others. Others did not have the talent of [Death Harvester].

Not everyone is the learned Mr. Black, either.

"this"

Hearing this, Jike immediately felt strange in his heart.

How could someone know everything?

If he hadn't known that Su Lun had demonstrated his profound knowledge of machinery and runes, he would definitely think that this was an unreliable teacher.

Think about him saying: "Teacher, I want to learn about runes and mechanical blasting!"

"Um."

Su Lun also nodded, thinking that the path he chose was very good, and the future limit of mechanical heat weapons would be infinitely high.

Dynamite is actually a side door in the branch of alchemy pharmacy.

In ancient times, some alchemists discovered that certain materials would cause explosions when they were mixed in proportion during the process of refining medicine. Later, it gradually evolved into a specialized discipline.

"Since I have accepted you as an apprentice, I will give you a small meeting gift."

As he said that, Su Lun took out more than a dozen thick books from the storage space, piled up nearly half a person's height, and said: "These are the books of first-order runes and basic mechanical knowledge, you can read them first .The magic knowledge content of these classics may be different from the knowledge system you have learned before, but they lead to the same goal. If you don’t understand, you can ask me.”

Speaking of which, he seemed to have remembered something, and took out some mechanical drawings that he had studied before, "There are also these introductory drawings, if you are interested, you can also take a look."

Jike is now a graduate of the preparatory academy, that is, the level of a "mechanical apprentice", and these classics are long enough for him to digest for a long time.

Teaching is the job of the teachers in the college, and it is very cumbersome.

Su Lun didn't intend to teach Jike personally, nor did he have the time.

Therefore, he intends to "stock".

Jike looked at the classics Su Lun took out one after another, and the astonishment in his eyes became more and more serious.

You must know that the classics of alchemy knowledge belonged to the aristocratic class in the Luying Empire.

Except that various preparatory academies have some channels to obtain some introductory knowledge, the subsequent advanced knowledge can only be obtained by going to the Royal Academy or loyal to a certain noble. It is also forbidden to circulate in the market.

He thought that what Su Lun brought out were some "textbooks" with only vague theoretical knowledge, but he didn't think about reading it, but was shocked.

Especially things like alchemy formulas and mechanical blueprints are protected by patents outside and will never be circulated.

Right in front of my eyes, it was like selling waste paper, thrown out by my teacher.

The value of these drawing formulas alone is inestimable!

Most of what Su Lun took out were "textbooks", but the textbooks in Old Lingdon were different from those in the outside world.

Anyway, they are all in their own mines, and the knowledge cannot flow out. In order to make Old Lington his secret research base, many textbooks are "super-class", there are no "barriers", and there are miners A knowledge system developed independently after excavating ancient ruins. This is also the most important reason why the technological level of the dungeon is much higher than that of the Luying Empire as a whole.

However, Jike naturally didn't know all of this.

He just became more and more surprised, what is his origin as a teacher?

A private teacher from the southern countryside?

No!

Certainly not!

Jike has experienced a big downturn in his life these days, and he thinks that nothing will shock him.

But looking at the "little meeting ceremony" in front of him, he faintly felt that the background of his teacher might be a bit unusual.

Moreover, the scariest thing is that the teacher can answer whatever I ask myself!

"Teacher, my bomb didn't kill that person before. Is it because the dose was low?"

"It's not a question of the amount of medicine, but that you miscalculated the crisis response ability of a third-tier professional. However, if the medicine is larger, the chance of success will indeed be higher."

"However, that is already the limit of my test. No matter how much the dose is, it will be very unstable, and the explosion will be out of control."

"To solve this problem, we can start with runes. On page 119 of "Introduction to Mechanics", there is a record in the section 'The relationship between runes and the stability of directional explosions'"

"Teacher, are you a polymath or a generalist?"

"No, I am [Puppeteer]."

"What kind of professional is that?"

"I'll tell you later when I have a chance"

"."

Su Lun gave those "meeting gifts", and Jike was immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

This guy does have a talent for learning, and he reads those boring professional knowledge with relish.

As a teacher, Su Lun also stayed in the hotel until noon, solving many of Jike's doubts.

It's not that he is free, but because at this time, the tavern area in the city will only open.

He was going to inquire about some information and needed to go to a special tavern.

The entertainment industry in Blizzard City is very developed, and most of the people in the city are adventurers and businessmen, and most of them are willing to spend money. And because it is the origin of slaves, the Fengyuechang here is also very famous.

Just in Dongcheng, there is a bustling entertainment district, and there is an unassuming tavern called "Sailor's Tavern" on the street.

There are many drinkers dressed as sailors in this tavern, but in fact, they are all pirates!

This is the "secret gathering place" where pirates big and small from the North Sea meet in Blizzard City.

This is the most suitable place for Su Lun to inquire about when the group of Daru slaves will be transported away.

Because it was noon, when Su Lun came, there seemed to be no one in the tavern.

As soon as he entered the door, he walked straight towards the spare room behind the tavern.

There were two burly men in leather clothes with large chest hair showing. Their eyes are very vicious, and it is easy to distinguish the difference between the pirates who have been at sea all year round and the people on the shore.

Su Lun didn't give them time to doubt, and threw out a tip of two silver coins. It didn't seem like it was the first time they came, and they walked over familiarly.

Through a passage leading to the underground, there is a hole in the sky.

Su Lun came to a very spacious underground tavern.

The red and green lights flickered, and the air was filled with the alluring smell of hallucinogens.

In the pirate tavern, there is no shortage of good wine. On the wine storage cabinet behind the bar, there are a variety of wines. Look at the labels on the wine bottles, some of them are even rare goods specially provided by high nobles and even the royal family. These are the stolen goods that the pirates robbed.

A closed basement will make people feel insecure, but Su Lun sensed it and found that there are several secret passages extending in all directions in this underground tavern.

Under the wooden boards in the warehouse, behind the naked oil paintings on the wall, behind the wine barrels on the bar, there are hollow spaces

This also reassured Su Lun a lot.

Although there are not many people in the pirate tavern, there are a few wisps of soul fire that are not weak. A fourth level, several third level, should be security.

The lighting was very dim, and people at a limited number of tables were discussing things in their respective cubicles, and there was a soundproof restriction, so they couldn't hear what they were talking about.

Su Lun took his seat and ordered expensive drinks, which were regarded as "tickets".

Not long after, a thin man with a red cockscomb head and tattoos all over his face came.

"Hey, brother, where did you raise your sails?"

Opening the mouth is a slang term commonly used among pirates, and Su Lun also responded fluently.

Cockscomb didn't notice anything unusual, so we got to the point.

"Brother want to inquire about the news, or take the goods?"

"I want detailed information on the recent shipments of slaves from the Sun Chamber of Commerce, cargo information, time, escort force, and what ship"

"Oh, the Sun Chamber of Commerce is not easy to provoke."

"Add 30% commission."

"Okay! Thanks for your patronage, one hundred thousand lisos, half of which will be paid first."

"Um."

"This news is indeed a bit difficult to handle, but within today, I will definitely reply to you!"

"."

Ask for such information in the pirate tavern, and it will come the fastest and cause no trouble.

Cockscomb left, and Su Lun waited patiently in the tavern for news.

Seeing him alone, the hostesses who work in the tavern also came over, all of them looked good and wore very revealing clothes.

Rude pirates don't just come here to drink, Su Lun didn't act differently, he picked two blonde girls at random, and chatted while drinking.

"Is there any interesting news at sea recently?"

"The meat ticket of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce was killed, and there was a lot of trouble in the middleman circle"

"I heard that the Red Shark Pirates were wiped out, it seems that they offended a big bounty hunter"

"The "Hercules" August of the great bounty hunter came to the north recently."

"I heard that the "King of the North Sea" has made a big move recently, and many people have been called."

"."

Su Lun, who was waiting for the news, was not in a hurry. Those intelligence dealers said that news would come out today, so naturally they had their channels.

The two girls are also very good at warming up the atmosphere, and the time passes quickly.

Gradually, the tavern became lively.

Pirates are not only humans, but also giants, trolls

In Su Lun's perception, there are more and more powerful soul breaths.

Just scan it, and you will be a big pirate with a bounty.

Brando Matic, head of the "Iron Cross Pirates" with a reward of 63 million lisos; Janick Beasley, the first officer of the "Snake Pirates" with a reward of 33 million lisos;

Many of these big pirates did not cover their faces after entering the tavern, as if being recognized was an honor, and the high bounty was also a source of bragging.

Literally a bunch of walking bounties.

Su Lun listened to the group of pirates bragging about their achievements with great interest, and gradually understood some things in the pirate circle.

But while drinking, Su Lun suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked towards the stairs.

Although the guy with the mustache was well disguised, Su Lun recognized her soul fire. Isn't that the girl named Katyusha?

What was she doing in the pirate tavern?

Thank you for 'Tao SAI' 1500, 'Jin Taiji's Guoda' 500, 'Rain on Mars', 'Dongjun' 700', 'qswbxe' 500', '20211021194634041', 'Please don't be an eunuch and update it quickly'. Thanks for the reward.
