[Heart of Four Color Elements] should be a familiar term for any puppet alchemist.
This treasure is said to be a product of the goblin civilization era and represents the pinnacle skill of the puppet energy core.
Even now.
The "Elemental Core", one of the three mainstream puppet energy core design systems on the market, is based on this set of goblin technology.
The same is true for Su Lun’s Puppet Master lineage!
His current Rune Puppet and the energy core of the Alchemy Gargoyle use various functional elemental hearts.
But in fact these are incomplete versions.
The goblin civilization has disappeared for countless years, and the ancient alchemists only found some residual design drawings in some ancient books and documents. As a result, the current "Heart of Elements" usually only has a single element.
The puppets created by this kind of core usually only have a single ability. If you want to design multiple types, the required design difficulty and the size of the puppet will increase exponentially.
However, it is said that the [Heart of Four Color Elements] of the original goblin civilization perfectly solved this problem. It is an energy core that possesses the four elements of earth, wind, water and fire at the same time.
Not only are there four basic elements, it can also efficiently convert between various elements. According to the needs of the puppet, it can instantly convert the energy of thunder, light, darkness, wood, and metal...
And, most importantly, it can "automatically store energy".
This elemental core can automatically absorb and recharge the elemental power from around it when not in use. In other words, it is a theoretical "infinite energy core"!
This can be said to be the treasure that all puppet masters dream of.
This is also the reason why Su Lun was so surprised when he heard this term.
He is now fighting with the Alchemy Gargoyle, which is indeed very strong.
But the consumption is also very exaggerated.
Every action requires the consumption of a large amount of energy crystal cores, which are all one-time. The more intense the battle, the more energy is consumed, which is just a waste of money.
To describe it another way,
The way Suellen now supplies energy to the puppet is like plugging in a "dry battery".
And if you have the [Heart of Four Color Elements], it is equivalent to the puppet having its own "Power Station"!
This kind of thing, even in his teacher Seria's notes, there are countless attempts to restore this magical goblin technology.
Su Lun asked: "Are you saying that more than half a year ago, someone discovered a [Heart of Four Colored Elements] from the goblin civilization period on the 'Fog Barrier Hell Island'?"
"Yes."
The girl stall owner seemed to think that everyone knew the news and there was nothing to hide, saying: "The priests of the Agapanaon Temple also confirmed the news. That's why so many puppet masters came from all over the country after hearing the news.
But 'Hell Island' is very dangerous. Except for the person who survived by chance, no one has ever been heard of coming out alive after going up there. However, some people have discovered some ancient relics and sunken ships outside the islands. Not only the heart of the elements, but also many
Other ancient treasures have also attracted many foreign adventurers to take risks."
"That's it."
Su Lun listened to the thoughts in his mind and quickly sorted out the cause and effect of the matter.
He asked again: "Who is that person who lived?"
The girl stall owner said: "The current gladiator king of the Central Arena, "Lion-Hearted" Barron Opatra. At that time, after he became Yum Victory, he went to participate in the 'Hero Trial' and wanted to kill a high-level warrior alone.
The deep-sea monster then strayed into the "fog barrier sea" and discovered the island full of treasures. Some people speculated that there should be the ruins of a lost ancient city. It has only floated up from the bottom of the sea in recent years."
When Su heard this, he realized that it was not just one treasure, but that there were many treasures on the "Alcatraz Island".
He had instinctively thought before that it might be for him. After all, the puppet master is a niche profession, so it seems like a coincidence that such an alluring puppet treasure suddenly appears.
Now the doubts in his mind were almost completely dispelled.
This kind of sudden discovery of treasures is quite normal in this sea where countless treasures are buried.
What's more, the news came out half a year ago
After all, we were at a flea market, and it was hard to chat with people we didn’t know well.
Su Lun did not continue to ask. He planned to go to an information dealer later and spend some money to buy more detailed information.
The girl stall owner didn't want to continue talking, and started selling her rune puppet again, saying: "Sir, I think you are also a puppet master, and this [rune puppet] is perfect for you.
.I can guarantee that they are definitely the best choice among puppets of the same level. And the price is also very cheap."
After a pause, she was probably worried that the customer who finally came to the door would leave, so she directly revealed the price, "If you need it, the [Smiling Doll] is only fifty thousand li, and the [Wailing Doll] will be more expensive, eight more."
Just a thousand miles of rope."
What the brown-haired girl said is indeed true. The Rune Puppet is indeed the most effective among puppets of the same level.
Su Lun took a look and realized that the material cost of these puppets should exceed 30,000 yuan. Including labor and technical fees, this price is already very reasonable.
Generally speaking, Puppet Technique will not sell its own combat puppets.
Unless you are very short of money.
Although we didn't chat for a few words, Su Lun had a good impression of this girl and smiled: "How did you know that I am a puppet master?"
The girl stall owner pointed at his fingers and said: "Your fingers are slender and slender, and your flexor and extensor muscles are well developed. I just saw that you bought some puppet materials at another stall, so you should not be a musician, but
He’s the puppet master.”
As she said this, she seemed to be explaining her rude observation without consent. She showed a cute smile and added: "In this flea market, after all, colleagues still care about their business."
He is well-educated and seems to have been from a good family.
After all, being a puppet master is not something that ordinary professionals can afford.
The girl's words made people feel no disgust. Su Lun looked at his palms and smiled: "I have good observation skills. I do know a little puppetry."
He took out a small pocket of gold coins and said, "I bought all four puppets."
The girl's face instantly became happy after hearing this, "Thank you!"
Su Lun didn't care, and asked casually, "I would like to ask, do you have an inheritance for your puppetry skills?"
There is nothing bad to say about the inheritance of a master, especially for professionals, a long-established inheritance system will make people feel that what they have learned is orthodox and more worthy of respect.
When the girl heard this, she also said proudly: "Have you ever heard of the alchemy demigod from thousands of years ago, Sir Isaac?"
Su Lun nodded, "Of course."
The girl added: "That demigod's wife is the ancestor of our 'Puppet Master' lineage. What I inherit is the 'Boyle Puppet Master' lineage."
As Su Lun listened, an imperceptible strange color flashed across his eyes, and he asked, "Robert Boyle?"
"Yes! Have you heard of it?"
The girl couldn't hide her surprise.
Puppet masters are a niche, and puppet masters are a niche within a niche. It is usually difficult for people to know about them.
She thought no one would know if she told her, but she didn't expect that the person in front of her actually knew and even mentioned her name right away.
She said proudly: "That is the ancestor of my Boyle family!"
Hearing this, Su Lun sighed slightly in his heart. He didn't expect that he was actually a fellow disciple. He said to himself: "Mr. Robert is a respectable master in the field of puppetry."
His teacher Seria had three disciples during her lifetime, and Robert Boyle was one of them.
In terms of seniority, he is still his senior brother.
This is the descendant of his senior brother
Su Lun also felt a little sad.
At this time, he saw the ring in the girl's hand, with the coat of arms of the Isaac family engraved on it.
Su Lun thought it looked familiar and asked, "Can you show me the ring on your hand?"
When the girl heard this, she looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She quickly protected the ring and said with a vigilant face: "This is not for sale!"
She seemed to feel that her stress reaction was a bit rude to a strange customer, and explained: "This is just an ordinary ring. It is an inheritance of our family, nothing special."
Su Lun naturally knew, because it was identified as a [Broken Alchemy Ring] and had no special effect.
He said: "I'm just curious and want to take a look. If it's inconvenient, forget it."
The girl looked at Su Lun's kind smile and had no reason to refuse. She took off her slender finger and put the ring on it, then handed it over carefully: "You can take a look at it if you want."
Su Lun took it and saw the words "Given to my disciple Robert Boyle" engraved on the inner wall.
During this time, he read through a lot of notes left by Ceria. The handwriting was very familiar, and it was indeed left by his teacher.
Su Lun looked at it and sighed in his heart.
This is really the ring left by my teacher a thousand years ago, what a fate.
After just one glance, he handed the ring back and said, "Thank you. This is a very precious antique. Keep it well."
The girl stall owner looked a little confused.
Su Lun didn't explain much. At this time, he took out a classic and said: "These are some puppet drawings I found before."
After hesitating for a moment, he pointed to the puppet materials on the stall and said, "If I can, I plan to exchange for these materials."
"drawing?"
The girl's expression was slightly confused. The puppet drawings were very valuable.
She felt the deal was obviously unfair.
Is there something wrong with the drawings?
Probably not. How could such a generous guest covet this little material?
The girl didn't bother to look through it, so she responded, "Okay!"
Su Lun smiled and nodded, put away the materials, and left the stall.
He didn't stay long in the trading market and gradually disappeared into the crowd.
Seeing that the person was gone, the person named Kama realized what she was doing. She looked at the book in her hand in a trance.
At this moment, an impatient voice emerged in my mind: "Sister, look at what kind of puppet design it is!"
Karma looked at the basket frame next to him. There was no one there, just a bunch of half-finished puppets.
She wrinkled her face and whispered softly: "Abok, I told you not to use mental communication indiscriminately. Have you forgotten that our family was robbed by pirates? I suspect that it was the Tilmido family who was there.
There is something going on behind the scenes, it would be bad if you were still alive and they found out. If you don't obey, I won't take you out to set up a stall next time."
The voice sounded in my mind again, "I know, sister. Take a look at the drawings!"
Karma didn't say much and opened the book left by the strange guest just now.
If she only exchanged those materials, she thought it wouldn't be a valuable basic puppet design.
Unexpectedly, when she looked through it, her eyes froze somewhere.
Looking at the dense rune records, as the inheritor of the "Puppet Master", she couldn't figure out why. This was the original design of the "Rune Puppet"!
How is it possible?
Isn’t it lost?
How come there are such detailed design drawings?
"this"
As if Kama was struck by lightning, his mind went blank for an instant.
After being stunned for a moment, she suddenly realized what she had seen, and turned her head suddenly to look at the crowd, hoping to find something.
It's a pity that the guest has never been seen again.
Suellen strolled down the street.
He had naturally discovered before that there were soul fluctuations in the pile of semi-finished products brought by the girl stall owner.
A puppet with a soul?
This is very interesting.
As expected, he is worthy of the inheritance of his teacher, and he seems to have created some very interesting puppets.
Su Lun didn't intend to find out.
After all, his current situation is not very good, and there may be a fierce battle at any time.
Since the lineage of "Robert Boyle" has been passed down for a thousand years, then let's continue to pass it on.
I sent some basic rune puppet design drawings, which can be regarded as taking care of my fellow students.
Su Lun thought about it and went to several news dealers in the city.
Many people asked about the news about the puppet treasure of [Heart of Four Color Elements], and almost all of them confirmed that the rumors were true.
A new archipelago named "Alcatraz Island" was indeed discovered. There are many treasures on the island.
As for the danger, it is said that there are many powerful sea monsters in that sea area, especially near the "Alcatraz Island". It is said that there are sirens, harpies, sea ghosts and other strange sea monsters in the sea.
.There are also various huge ferocious monsters, octopuses with tentacles of hundreds of meters, orangutans as big as hills, deep-sea giant crocodiles, lantern monster fish, and huge flying monsters.
There are monsters in the sea, that's normal.
But when Su Lun heard someone say they had seen a hundred-meter-long giant octopus monster, he was still looking forward to it.
After all, the mechanical octopus needs the biological nervous system and part of the body tissue as materials. He needs a large enough organism as a sample to make a larger mechanical octopus.
The most important thing is that the direction of "Alcatraz Island" is similar to the direction to the Void Ruins.
We have to go anyway.
If possible, then he wants to get the [Heart of Four Color Elements].
That would increase Su Lun's combat power as much as a few more finished gargoyles. If we can still get the original design drawings from the goblin civilization period, it would be a priceless treasure, and could even rewrite the energy source of modern puppets.
Core future development.
It would be a lie to say that I am not impressed.
The information obtained from the intelligence dealer was very complicated. Su Lun listened and analyzed it, and got a general impression.
In short, there are many unknown dangers in that sea area.
After final consideration, he wanted to meet the only person who landed on "Alcatraz Island" and survived, "Lion-Hearted" Barron Opatra.
At the same time, Su Lun became very interested in the concept of "Hero Trial".
In Roman, there is a special inheritance system. After the gladiators win a hundred games in a row in the arena (this is an imaginary number, meaning there is no opponent), they can choose the "Hero Trial".
They need to sail out to sea alone, and then kill a powerful enough sea monster.
When they come back with the sea beast's head to sacrifice, they will be able to receive the blessing of "Tyr, the God of War" and gain some special inheritance.
Usually those who are qualified to participate in the "Hero Trial" are around level six.
After they come back, they will receive blessings and the probability of breaking through to the seventh level is very high.
Suellen was walking on the street.
The streets of the Molossian city-state were very wide and the planning was very aesthetic.
A line running from north to south, capable of running eight or two carriages side by side, passed through the city, dividing the city into two halves.
Standing on the main street, you can see the huge fountain square in the center of the city at a glance.
In the center of the square stands a huge stone statue nearly 100 meters high.
The stone statue is carved of a one-armed warrior, holding a sword in his hand, looking domineering and majestic.
This is the [Statue of Tyr, God of War], the god of faith of the Romans.
The statue is unclothed and has beautiful muscular lines, which also reflects the Roman people's primitive worship of strength and body.
Roman's gladiators had a very high mortality rate, but most of them were voluntary.
The reason why they like to fight is because they are not afraid of death in their bones from birth, but are afraid of ordinary death.
Natural death and illness are called "firewood death", and they end their lives as ordinary as dry firewood.
This was not the ideal destination for the Romans, who preferred to die on the battlefield.
Because in Roman legends, heroic warriors will go to heaven after death. There will be Valkyries who will give them the kiss of death and then be taken into Valhalla. In that palace in the sky, they will
Enjoy all the wonderful benefits in the world.
(PS. The Valkyries are all very beautiful women, with beautiful white arms and breasts and golden flowing hair. They wear golden helmets and bloody tight-fitting battle robes, holding luminous spears and shields, and riding pure
white horse)
The popular explanation is that you enjoy blessings from heaven, have wine, meat, and the company of fairies, and enjoy the bliss on earth.
Su Lun walked all the way through the central square, and he could see muscular Romans praying to the statues everywhere.
He inquired about the news that the "Lion-Hearted Man" Barron Opatra was currently in the largest brothel in the city.
This kind of strong man is very popular with women. It is the dream of all Roman women to sleep with him. Even those noble ladies like to have offspring with him.
In Roman legends, the descendants of heroes have a higher probability of becoming heroes.
Suellen understood, it was a bit like a stallion.
Good seed, good foals.
But just after walking through the central square, he suddenly stopped.
Su Lun looked at the pool next to a painter wearing Roman local clothes, who was making money by painting for passers-by.
Su Lun looked at the painter with messy hair. Although he looked unfamiliar, his soul fire was very familiar.
He recognized at a glance that this guy was the "God Painter" Vincent F. Van Gogh, one of the "Top Ten Legendary Bounty Hunters"!
The legendary bounty hunter actually sells paintings here?
"This guy didn't succeed in assassinating him before, and now he's chasing him again?"
What did Su Lun think of?
The painter was painting on the linen canvas with a paintbrush. When Su Lun looked at him, the guy seemed to have noticed something and turned his head to look over.
Su Lun looked at the smile on his lips and knew that he recognized her.
Judging from the other party's demeanor, he seemed to be interested in chatting for a few words.
Su Lun didn't leave in a hurry.
After waiting for a few minutes, the lady who bought the self-portrait also left.
Su Lun then walked over.
Van Gogh, one of the top ten legendary bounty hunters, had no airs about being a master at all, so he took the initiative to say hello: "Hey, long time no see."
Although Su Lun felt that he was not familiar with this guy, he did not feel any malice and responded politely: "Mr. Van Gogh, long time no see."
Van Gogh didn't seem to care about those false reputations. He changed a canvas and began to paint the scenery of the city again. While painting, he said: "I have to say that the Romans really understand art. The architecture here is really
It’s so beautiful. Speaking of which, I worked as a mural restorer here for ten years.”
Su Lun was slightly surprised when he heard this.
Are all the top experts so honest? They actually worked as mural restorers and seemed to like that profession very much?
Su Lun didn't want anyone to talk about art, so he asked directly: "Who do you serve?"
Van Gogh said in a relaxed tone: "I am a bounty hunter and of course I serve money. The last time I took action was because I accepted the reward from the Luying royal family and returned a favor that I had to repay. It's hard to say this time."
Su Lun was also curious about the fees charged by such a legendary bounty hunter, and said: "Please take action, what price will it cost?"
If you can really pay for it, and you really want to fight, this will be a big obstacle.
Van Gogh smiled slightly and said, "It depends on your mood."
""
When Su Lun heard this, he knew that there was no chance of hiring him.
There is a high probability that such top experts do not do it to earn bounties, especially those who are engaged in art. Their ideas are very strange.
Su Lun asked casually: "Your Excellency, you are still here for "Princess Frost Moon" Skadi?"
Van Gogh did not conceal his purpose at all, "Yes. But she has never shown up, and it is difficult to kill her. However, I heard that there are many people trying to catch her attention, so maybe I don't need to do anything."
Even though the North Sea is the territory of pirates, both Lu Ying and the great nobles like Grand Duke Raphael have their own complete intelligence systems.
If this guy can be chased here, he must have relevant intelligence sources.
Su Lun didn't think it was a coincidence that they met twice. He always felt that this guy seemed to know him.
But if this guy doesn't take the initiative to say it, he definitely won't be able to ask.
Thinking about it, he tentatively said: "If possible, I can buy some information."
Van Gogh said: "Oh?"
Su Lun said: "I want to get a treasure from Princess Frost Moon. It should be a gift exchanged by Oleg and Marfa."
"I really know this."
Van Gogh: ""Frost Moon Princess" Skadi should secretly escort a batch of goods back to Marfa in the next few days. At Pier 7, the ship has not been confirmed yet, but it should be a pirate ship. The specific delivery time has yet to be determined.
.But there are already a lot of people eyeing this batch of goods.”
Su Lun also felt that he had asked the right person, "Your Excellency, aren't you going?"
This was information that he had not found at all when he went to inquire about it before.
Van Gogh shook his head and said: "I won't go. I'm only interested in people. Whoever likes to mess with that batch of goods can go and mess with it."
After a pause, he said: "And someone intercepted a piece of secret information, saying that 'the ocean currents and winds we have to wait for are coming, and we must sail as soon as possible'. I suspect that there must be something very precious in that batch of cargo, but that Steve
Princess Ka’s true intention is to use this as bait to set sail to attract attention.”
Su Lun's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and his thoughts began to spin.
This guy actually revealed such top-secret information?
Others don't know the meaning of that piece of information, but Su Lun does. Going to the sea area beyond the space ruins requires waiting for specific ocean currents and wind directions.
At this time, Van Gogh's painting has been completed.
"This is my new work "The Potato Eaters""
He gestured to Su Lun to look at his canvas. He looked very energetic and seemed to be quite satisfied with his work.
That's a very strange painting.
There are several people with abstract faces sitting around the dining table, holding knives and forks.
There was a plate of potatoes on the table, and they seemed to be discussing how to divide the food.
A dim oil lamp illuminates a corner, and the overall tone of the picture is dark.
Van Gogh looked at his paintings with deep eyes, frowning as if he didn't understand something.
He pondered for a moment, then muttered in an uncertain tone: "Is there a huge monster hidden in the darkness?"
It's like I saw some kind of "hint" from the painting.
Divination ability?
Su Lun vaguely understood something.
It turns out that the focus of this painting is not the people holding tableware, but the background?
