Mechanical Alchemist

Su Lun heard the sound of fighting and arguing, and walked out of the "Sea God's Divination Shop". Just in time, I saw a shop selling materials, surrounded by a large number of people.

Dozens of people from the "Iron Lion Pirates" were confronting more than a dozen people from the other side, and there were also a large number of people eating melons who had heard the movement.

The dozen or so guys in navy white uniforms looked so out of place in the chaotic environment of the black market.

"Damn it! We clearly agreed to pay the money and deliver the goods, how can you break your word?!"

"Hey, hey, don't fucking talk nonsense! I didn't get the goods, so how can I break my word?"

"Didn't we hand over the goods to your steward at the dock? That old man with black teeth received it himself, and I still have a handover order here!"

"You don't give the goods to the wrong person, do you? I don't have any stewards with black teeth in my shop."

"You...! My seriously injured brother needs those medicines to save his life, you must take them out!"

"Hmph, some of you are injured, what does it have to do with me? This is not Lu Ying, don't think you are a high-ranking military officer. If you continue to make trouble here, don't blame me for being rude!"

"."

After hearing a few words, Su Lun immediately understood the reason.

These people have suffered from "black eating black".

Selling materials in the black market, as long as you don't know how to do it, it's easy to be swallowed by people and goods.

Those who can open a shop in the black market have more or less backgrounds. And it is very unfriendly to foreigners. If you dare to make trouble, the big pirates in this pirate city will not spoil you.

Alec Barrett, the "beast" with a broken arm, kept his face black the whole time, and remained silent without saying a word. But no matter how the lieutenants around him argued, the owner of the shop was convinced of their sneers, and had no intention of giving money at all.

The pirates had a large number of people, and after a little pushing and shoving, the large-scale fighting did not break out in the end.

In the pirate circle, it is not uncommon to have defected Lu Ying Empire Navy.

Usually a prisoner of war, or some unavoidable reason to defect to become a pirate.

And these rigorously trained navies are also popular recruiting targets for major pirate regiments. The King of the North Sea has many captains under his command, and the captains have backgrounds in the Royal Navy of Luying, or the private army of nobles.

Under normal circumstances, the defected navy will still wear the Luying military uniform to show their identity. Even if they defected, they felt that they were different from ordinary pirates.

But it also puts a scratch on the rank, signifying a break with past identities.

When Su Lun watched Barrett and his group appear in Pirate City, he was also slightly surprised.

This kind of major general-level officer is considered a big shot in Lu Ying, with power, money, and sex at his fingertips, and the pirates can't give them any tempting conditions.

Now it seems that he still came to sell materials and equipment, and was tricked by black businessmen?

However, thinking about his previous experience, he was not so surprised to see them here.

Su Lun speculated that a certain important figure in the Lu Ying royal family might have something to do with the "outer god" who coveted the place where the gods are buried. This Barrett prevented the breach of the seal before, and also witnessed the whole process of the guy from the Military Intelligence Department summoning the outer god to descend. No wonder it wasn't rejected.

Although that guy forced him to almost die before, but the actual impression is not bad. Leaving aside some standpoint issues, being able to risk your life and honor to prevent people from the Military Intelligence Department from destroying the seal, the sense of justice is indeed not bad.

Su Lun looked thoughtfully, and asked Amaryllis, who was also watching the excitement, and deliberately asked, "Who is that guy from?"

Professional intelligence merchants really know more.

Hearing this, the black beauty immediately revealed her identity, "The Luying Holy Judgment Legion, the leader is Alec Barrett "The Beast", with the rank of major general. I don't know why the arm was broken, and the strength was greatly damaged. "

Su Lun naturally knew how he broke his arm, and was even more curious about other things. He said, "Isn't the Holy Judgment Legion the Royal Legion? Why did they defect and become pirates?"

"Because of 'treason'."

When the black beauty said this, there seemed to be puzzlement in her eyes.

After a pause, she continued: "The royal family of Luying announced that Barrett and others are wanted for 'treason', and the bounty is frighteningly high. Now countless people are thinking of using his head for the bounty. Not only Bounty hunters, the Lu Ying military intelligence department also sent special agents to chase them all the way, and they have been assassinated several times in Pirate City. But they all failed.”

Crime of treason?

Hearing the charge, Su Lun was also surprised.

The identity of the person who can make a meritorious general be charged with this crime without going to the military court, and the person who issued the order, is probably scary.

He was thoughtful and wanted to know more details, so he tried again: "It can't be the conspiracy of those noble masters, right?"

The black beauty seemed to feel that she had received a sum of money and cooperated very happily, and she was not stingy with her tongue, and said: "Before, some people suspected that this was a trap set by the Lu Ying royal family, but there was definite news from Lu Ying that this Holy Judgment Corps The establishment of the Lu Ying royal family has been revoked, and everyone in the legion is on the arrest warrant. Moreover, almost all the relatives of these knights have been sent to the gallows. Especially the wife, daughter, and parents of the legion leader Barrett have not been judged. They were shot all over the house."

Speaking of this, she pursed her lips and continued: "The behavior of the Lu Ying royal family is abnormal, but no one knows why. Outsiders speculate that some scandals of the royal family may be involved, so it is inconvenient to disclose it. After all, this situation has happened before. However, it seems that some great nobleman hooked up with the family members of the court, and then inexplicably committed crimes and disappeared."

"That's it"

When Su Lun heard this, his eyes suddenly became a little complicated.

Exterminated?

This is probably because the "outer god" was afraid of the news being leaked, so he planned to kill people to silence them.

The royal family issued a special arrest warrant, and those who used to be from the Holy Judgment Legion had no place to stay in Lu Ying, and only Pirate City had a little way to survive.

It's not surprising to meet here.

Speaking of this, the black beauty sighed again: "Now I heard that Lu Ying has sent more masters to deal with these people. There are also big pirates who want to take this bounty. Hehe. Beihai can provide them with asylum. But not much power."

"."

Su Lun frowned slightly when he heard that, the situation of Barrett and others was indeed very bad.

Neither black nor white will give you a way to survive, no matter how strong you are, you will not be able to survive.

"However. These guys have fallen to the present, and they are self-inflicted."

The black beauty thought of something, and she changed the subject and continued: "Although that guy has broken an arm, his strength has been greatly reduced, but after all, the Holy Judgment Legion used to be the Luying Ace Legion. Although there are fewer people, the strength and background are not bad. .Several big pirate groups are watching, intending to recruit this group of people. It's a pity that they have high vision and are not interested in joining us pirates. Even if the people from the King of the North Sea approached them, they didn't get any results."

After a pause, she continued: "It's a pity, without the protection of powerful people, they can't survive in the pirate city. See, these people will either disappear or compromise."

"."

Su Lun couldn't help but feel a little sad.

A dignified and loyal general of the empire unexpectedly ended up like this.

However, other people's affairs are other people's private affairs after all.

Seeing these members of the Holy Judgment Legion, Su Lun thought of issues related to his own interests.

If there is no accident, these guys should have a lot of [activated silver] on them, as well as the cursed item [Anistora's poisonous incense burner] that they lost.

Before, I felt that the treasure was missed, but now I look at it, it seems that there is another chance.

"I hope they don't sell it."

Su Lun prayed in his heart.

The crowd of onlookers was getting bigger and bigger, and Barrett and those members of the Judgment Legion were unable to fight after all.

The generals and knights who used to be full of honor in the Luying Empire are now arguing and haggling with others like women buying vegetables in the vegetable market. This kind of contrast is not something anyone can bear.

Barrett saw the confident look of the shop owner and the pirates, and guessed that this was the "rule" of the pirate black market.

This time it was a lesson learned.

He snorted coldly: "Go!"

He turned his head and walked away, although the soldiers behind him were unwilling, but they also followed.

Once the members of the Holy Tribunal left, there was no need to watch the bustle, and the black market had restored its proper order.

Su Lun mixed in the crowd, watching the Barretts go, thinking about it, he quietly followed.

For the [Activation Silver], he still planned to take a risk to touch it.

The people in Barrett didn't live in the superstructure of the Walled City, but they looked like they were going to the pier, so they should be living on a boat.

But it wasn't long before Su Lun noticed something unusual.

It turned out that it wasn't just him, there were several groups of people staring at Barrett and the others.

"Hiss, these guys are really troublesome."

Su Lun walked through the alleys like an ordinary passerby.

With soul perception, even if he doesn't have to look at it, he can't be ashamed.

But in the perception of the soul, there are several sneaky guys following along.

I don't think it's an intelligence merchant, but it's probably just a big pirate informant who wants to recruit them

Those in Barrett should have noticed that someone was following them, but they probably had no choice.

This is Pirate City, but they are aliens who don't fit in.

Sure enough, Barrett and the others arrived at the pier within a short distance, and boarded a wooden warship parked in the harbor.

It is rare to see all wooden sailing ships in Luying, which are usually used for chasing pirates.

The hull of the warship is full of battle marks, gun craters, bullet marks and sharp wounds. I think they have fought hard along the way.

There was no pirate flag flying on the mast, and the ordinary seagull flag was also scratched by paint.

Even though it was no longer the Luying Royal Navy, the group of people on board still maintained a rigorous military style.

The sentry post and the secret post, each performing their duties, closely guarded their ship.

Compared with the laziness of the surrounding pirate ships, this appearance is extremely different.

As soon as the group of people who were going to trade in the black market just boarded the boat, the people guarding the boat immediately surrounded them to ask questions.

Hearing the experience just now, everyone was filled with righteous indignation.

"Damn profiteers! We finally got the materials and they swallowed them like that. Commander, let's get rid of those dirty liars!"

"Fortunately, the head of the group was a little more thoughtful before, so that we didn't take out the important things, and the loss was not too much. These despicable pirates are really not worthy of trust."

"If it wasn't for those guys from the former Military Intelligence Department to assassinate us, we wouldn't have suffered such a heavy loss. Everything else is okay, we urgently need some information on the potion for cursing injuries, otherwise those seriously injured brothers may not be able to survive."

"Don't expect the Pirate City to provide us with too much supplies now. Those pirates are obviously deliberately making things difficult and forcing us to join. Hehe, the king of the North Sea is just a bunch of rabble. They also want to recruit our royal cavalry"

"."

Everyone was talking, and suddenly fell silent.

Now their situation has indeed become extremely bad.

However, life and death are another matter. They have encountered all kinds of harsh situations in their battles.

No matter how difficult it is, just grit your teeth and pass.

But right now, most of them are disappointed.

The Bona royal family, who had sworn allegiance to the death, not only abandoned them, deprived their ancestors of the ease that their ancestors had won for Lu Ying's loyalty with their lives, but also slaughtered their family members!

What is even more puzzling is that the charge of "treason" is completely unfounded!

If they didn't want to suffer innocent injustice, they would definitely dare to go back to Luying Emperor Capital to confront them face to face.

But if you go back now, you will definitely die.

If they are willing to degenerate and choose to be pirates, they can live well.

But

Barrett didn't say much, and entered the cabin.

Su Lun originally wanted to find an inconspicuous opportunity to contact Barrett secretly.

But after observing the ship for a long time at the pier, he was embarrassed to find that he had nothing to take advantage of!

Those guys were so heavily guarded that Su Lun didn't find any chance to touch them quietly. He thought, even if he teleported onto the ship with space, he might be discovered immediately, and it might be self-defeating.

Su Lun didn't think of any other better way, so he decided to take the risk and go directly.

Although the pier is full of eyeliners, it is also good. Now there are many forces staring at Barrett and the others. Even if Su Lun goes there openly, no one knows which side he is from.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand, and then walked over with the alchemy cloak on when he changed his magic trick.

As soon as he got close to the warship, Su Lun noticed that many eyes were on him.

He didn't flinch in any way, and walked over steadily.

Walking to the side of the boat, the two guards stopped him: "Stop! Private ships, no approaching!"

Su Lun didn't hesitate and said, "I want to see Commander Barrett."

Before he could finish speaking, the sentry refused coldly: "Sorry, our leader didn't see anyone."

These days, there are a lot of people who want to see their captains. Pirate leaders, bounty hunters, and assassins from the Military Intelligence Department mostly come here with malice.

In their current situation, it is best not to see anyone.

Su Lun didn't hesitate, took out a small piece of [Activated Silver], and said, "I have some important matters to discuss. I think Captain Barrett will be interested in meeting me when he sees this."

The sentry saw the silver object in Su Lun's hand, and obviously recognized it, and the firm tone made them puzzled.

There was a moment of hesitation on the faces of the two, and they exchanged glances as if discussing, and one of them said, "Wait, I'll ask the leader if he wants to see you."

Su Lun said lightly: "Yes."

It didn't take long before the sentry came out, and his tone was not as cold as before, "The leader said, please go in."

Su Lun was not surprised when he heard this.

The reason why he was so sure that Barrett wanted to see him was not because of the activated silver.

It's his "identity".

When he was cursing the valley before, Katyusha's dead soldier saved his life, so Barrett must be very curious about his identity.

Moreover, this can also confirm that Su Lun is not a member of the royal family.

"Um."

Su Lun nodded, and walked up the board calmly.

As soon as she stepped on it, the piercing gazes from all around fell on her.

Even though Barrett, who has lost his arm, only has a fifth-level combat power, it is still not something he can match now. What's more, there are two or three hundred elite royal knights on this ship.

But Su Lun was not worried.

The reason for doing it before was because of camp conflicts, but now that there is no such contradiction, there is no need to do it at all.

Sensing the weak soul fires on board, he felt more certain.

Su Lun quickly boarded the boat and met Barrett in the captain's cabin.

He lifted his cloak, revealing his face.

Barrett watched with slightly complicated eyes.

He naturally remembered the person who had been punched by him before, so he asked straight to the point: "Is there anything you want to discuss with me, Your Excellency?"

Su Lun glanced at his empty right arm sleeve and said directly, "I want to buy some materials from you."

Barrett's expression showed no joy or anger, and he asked indifferently, "Those silver pieces?"

"yes."

Su Lun didn't hide his purpose, "If possible, I would also like to redeem that poisonous incense burner."

Barrett didn't seem to be interested in trading, instead he stared into Su Lun's eyes for a while, "What can you give me?"

"Supplies, advanced potions, and some possibilities."

Su Lun blushed and said it out of breath.

No one would have guessed that he came to "White Wolf with Empty Gloves".

The guy who bought the materials by himself before and almost spent all his money, now he has no cash in hand.

What's more, this is a god-level material. If Barrett knew the value of this [activated silver], no matter how rich Su Lun was, he would not be able to afford it.

Therefore, I can only talk about it.

"Hehe, Your Excellency came prepared. Now that no one in the whole pirate city dares to help us, how dare you?"

Barrett looked like a sick tiger, his eyes were still sharp.

He thought, Su Lun must have investigated it a long time ago and knew that there were wounded on his ship, so he made these conditions that he could not refuse.

Su Lun said without changing his face: "You should have guessed that I am not a pirate. Therefore, there is nothing to dare to say."

Barrett raised his brows slightly, "I was also curious about your identity before. But the origin of being able to plant spies in the Military Intelligence Department is naturally not simple. But now"

It has nothing to do with him, as long as it is not the royal family.

He didn't continue talking, but instead said: "It can be traded. However, I need to get something first, and then give something."

"no problem!"

When Su Lun heard this, he agreed without hesitation.

The pirates don't follow the rules. This Hastlin is a place of disorder. If they are tricked again, people like Barrett are really stupid.

"The cursed censer can be returned to you."

Barrett said calmly, paused for a moment, and said again: "But how much silver do you want?"

Su Lun said: "The more the better."

Hearing this, the general nicknamed "The Beast" narrowed his eyes slightly, and his light flashed away, "Hehe. [Activated Silver] is a god-level material. How much do you think is appropriate?"

Although their situation is bad, they will not be insulted by people as fools.

"The more the better."

Su Lun still made the same response.

Hearing the other party say the name of the material, he immediately knew that the other party knew the value of this item.

It is impossible to exchange even a little bit of this "priceless treasure" just by relying on some supplementary potions.

Su Lun didn't intend to get away with it. He looked at his broken arm and said directly: "To be honest, I need a lot of this metal. Moreover, I happen to know one of the uses of this metal, which is to repair human limbs." .”

Barrett was suspicious when he heard this: "You mean the mechanical arm?"

The broken arm did have a great impact on his strength, even to the point of dropping his rank.

His original limb has been completely damaged, and he will not expect to be reborn from a broken limb. The best situation is to install a mechanical arm.

But the current technological level of the mechanical arm is of little use to a high-level professional like him.

Even if it is Mafa's top-level technological robotic arm.

Rather than adding a cumbersome mechanical arm, it is better to just break it like this.

Su Lun corrected: "It's the 'Silver Hand'. It's not a regular mechanical arm!"

He was able to say this, and he was naturally prepared.

He went on to explain: "[Living Silver] is a special metal that can only be produced in places with god corpses. In addition to those wonderful properties, this metal can also blend into human flesh and blood! Use it to forge an arm, theoretically Generally speaking, it can completely replace the original limbs, and even be stronger. You should have realized this when you hunted those monsters before. As for the nervous system transplantation, it will be easier.”

As he said that, Su Lun added: "However, using this metal to make an arm requires an unusually precise structure. Runes, fusion formulas and blueprints are all indispensable. As it happens, I may be the only one in this world who knows this metal. People with such uses."

He can't do that himself.

However, the various uses of this god-level metal are recorded in detail in the relevant classics left by the teacher Sereya for the refining of alchemy golems.

On the way to Pirate City, Su Lun had been experimenting on living corpses. [Activated Silver] can indeed successfully blend into flesh and blood. Moreover, the strength after fusion will become many times stronger than that visible to the naked eye, and even have some incredible mutations.

"hehe."

Barrett chuckled.

Hearing this idea that seemed out of the blue, his first reaction was that it was impossible.

As far as he knew, there was some kind of divine gold in Lu Ying's royal treasury, but he had never heard of anyone who could use it to make arms.

Metal mounted on the flesh, not a robotic arm?

Although his intuition told Barrett that the person in front of him was trustworthy, he still questioned, "Do you think I will believe it?"

As he said that, he turned his eyes, and seemed to have seen through Su Lun's empty-handed white wolf's thoughts, revealing a touch of playfulness.

Su Lun didn't think it was that easy to convince the other party, and said bluntly: "It's normal for Mr. Barrett not to believe it. After all, he hasn't produced a real body, and I can't guarantee 100% success."

After a pause, he said without any concealment: "Besides, this issue is not in a hurry. Because even if I can refine a high-precision arm, distance fusion still lacks a key technology."

Although Barrett didn't know much about science, he came from the Royal Academy after all.

Hearing this, he immediately realized something, and said, "Lack of neuromechanical technology?"

Su Lun didn't deny it either, and said lightly, "Yes."

This time, Barrett's expression became even more strange, and his tone changed from indifferent to puzzled: "From your tone, it seems that you have a way to obtain that top-secret technology in the hands of Grand Duke Raphael?"

He thought it was impossible!

Now the information that Raphael has mastered the top-secret technology has spread.

The nobles, the royal families of the two empires, the arms dealers, and the chaebols are all trying to get that technology, but no one can do it.

Let alone outsiders.

Barrett suddenly felt that he couldn't understand the young man in front of him, and he guessed: He was originally a member of Grand Duke Raphael?

Su Lun didn't explain much, but said: "Let's talk about this later. If I am sure at that time, I will naturally come to you again. As for how much material I can exchange for your supplies, it depends on what you think."

He couldn't force it, and he directly handed over the choice to the other party.

Barrett remained silent as he listened, as if he was in a dilemma.

Now it is hard to find someone who is willing to help them, and there is a big background. It is not right to give too little, and it is not right to give too much.

Both of them were very decisive, and the exchange reached here, and a transaction intention was basically reached.

Su Lun suddenly thought of something, and said again: "Oh, right. How can I contact you in the future? According to the information I got, Lu Ying, bounty hunters, and pirates are all eager to try. If you don't plan to join a certain pirate It's not safe to stay here."

Barrett naturally knew his situation, and said: "If you can bring the supplies before tomorrow evening, trade here. If it is later, we will leave the port."

Then, he took out a communicator and said: "This is a Luying military-grade communicator. The communication distance is much longer than conventional communicators, and there is no need to worry about leaking secrets. If you have any questions, you can contact me directly. At least this The sea area can still be covered.”

"good!"

Su Lun took the communicator and said nothing more.

The matter of [Activation Silver] is not in a hurry. Before there is enough trust, it is useless to say more.

Barrett gave Su Lun a supply list, and they needed a lot of things.

Everything else is fine, but Su Lun finds it a little tricky to treat the rare potions that treat the backlash of special curses.

It's not that you can't buy it, but it's easy to be targeted if you buy it.

Anyone with a discerning eye now knows that Barrett has a group of special wounded, and the shops selling that kind of potion in the city must be full of eyeliner.

Once you buy it, you must be watched.

Su Lun thought of a person, that is Danny's father, Dr. Pickman!

That person is a top pharmacist in the world, if you contact him, you may have unexpected gains.

After all, the more potions you give, the more [Activated Silver] you can get in exchange.

After wandering around the city for half a circle and buying a lot of supplies, Su Lun wandered to the middle area.

Although he is also a pirate of the North Sea Fleet now, he didn't go directly to "The Butcher" Banner, but went to the "Fire Dance Tavern" first.

This is the place agreed with Dr. Pickman before.
