Arbock was released from the [Heart of Boyle's Machine Puppet], and there was now another person in Suellen's laboratory.
At this point, Su Lun finally realized the brilliance of his senior brother Robert Boyle.
Creating such a core that inherits the skills of the "Ghost Puppet Lineage" can not only ensure that one's own knowledge is passed down, but also select suitable descendants to inherit that knowledge.
Yabok has been trapped in this core for five years, and his gains are not ordinary.
Not only is his talent lost due to certain special circumstances, but more importantly, his character has grown.
Studying alchemy exclusively is very boring and lonely, and the more advanced you get, the more so.
Su Lun now understands it deeply.
That requires extraordinary self-discipline and persistence.
How many people with superior talents in the world have finally returned to mediocrity, but they have all been defeated by their character.
After being able to stay in a puppet core like a "cage" for five years, Aberke has already acquired the most important qualities to become a top alchemist.
If you have good talent and good character, this is a beautiful piece of jade.
Fortunately, his sister Kama has been patiently encouraging him in the past few years, and fortunately he met Su Lun.
Yabok himself worked hard and showed extraordinary talent in alchemy.
It has a photographic memory, multitasking, and can learn almost all basic knowledge very quickly.
He can read boring alchemy books with gusto, quickly master combat and firearms, and quickly accept complex mechanical knowledge.
Even if he hasn't combined any colonial clothing and inauguration materials, he can control a basic puppet with his nimble fingers.
Su Lun also liked this disciple very much.
And when he heard Aback saying, "Teacher, I think the human body is too weak and has many limited functions. My dream is to transform myself into a machine puppet," he knew that this guy also
You will find an extraordinary path as a puppeteer.
That was a forbidden explosive sorcerer of the puppet master's lineage.
Su Lun also supported his idea.
The inheritance of the Puppet Master lineage has never been static. They constantly explore and progress by standing on the shoulders of their predecessors.
The path Su Lun wants to take is the "Mechanical Puppet Master" route.
The puppets of Boyle's lineage also have infinite possible development routes. He hopes that Kama and Aback will continue to go further on this road and carry forward their achievements.
It's a pity that [Boyle's Puppet Heart] has not been completely repaired, and most of the knowledge passed down in it cannot be analyzed.
To repair it, Su Lun could think of the best way to get another Green Dragon Crystal to replace it.
But just think about the dragon crystal thing.
Giant dragons are creatures that have existed since mythical times. Mr. Mirror said that there are islands in the Western Sea where giant dragons live, and Tani heard this from his Naga mother.
However, the combat power of a creature that is born as a hegemonic creature cannot be measured by ordinary calculations.
To kill an adult dragon, Su Lun estimated that only an eighth- or ninth-level professional would have any hope.
There is no need to think about it in the short term.
But fortunately, Su Lun now has a very rich amount of knowledge, and he has also stripped away the knowledge of the machine puppets of the previous "Thousand Machine Puppet Hand" Vasily Tirmidow. It will be enough to teach the two siblings for at least the next ten or twenty years.
With one more person, there is more excitement.
The three masters and apprentices stayed in the laboratory all day long, doing experiments.
Although he was used to doing research and experiments alone, Su Lun felt it was good to have a little more life in the laboratory.
The two disciples were also two handy assistants, which also saved him a lot of worry.
The sea ruins are so huge that they seem to have no boundaries. The Ming Dynasty sailed for eight or nine days but still could not find the Styx River.
Su Lun is very busy every day. He has too many things to study. Mechanical armor, making [Siren Banshee Doll], solidifying the combat ability of gargoyles, and inscribing [Poseidon Runes of Ximing Laiwa] on his body.
Research the improvement of the mechanical octopus and create a new mechanical octopus
Every day is packed with time, but I don’t feel like the days go by so fast.
On this day, in the laboratory.
The three of Su Lun were as busy as ever.
In front of the workbench, two people with eight-armed spider spears were busy tinkering with puppets.
The one with the dark golden spider spear was Su Lun, and beside him, Aberke was contacting the first-level rune puppet carved with the golden spider spear.
As a descendant of the Puppet Master lineage, Su Lun would not treat his direct disciples badly.
He took out the rare materials he collected in his daily life and refined a first-level alchemy equipment for the [Eight-Armed Spider Spear] for Arbok. Although it was a gold-quality spider spear with the main material, it was more controllable.
, and is more compatible with the machine puppet warlock.
Aberke also liked this costume very much, and he became very proficient in using it in just a few days.
With two disciples, Su Lun does not need to do many things himself, such as recording experimental data, and Kama is a very attentive assistant.
At this time, Su Lun was engraving runes on his body. He thought of something and said: "Kama, you will go and see how the [Mind Flayer Eggs] are being cultivated by Dr. Banks later. If you can
Get the mature Mind Flayer as soon as possible, and then I can get you advanced breeding equipment. Although it is not as effective as capturing it in the natural environment, it is suitable for your level."
Su Lun's own path is good, but not everyone can take it.
Without the blessing of two S-level talents, the breeding equipment and inauguration advancement materials he used would be difficult for others to digest.
Kama was full of joy when he heard this and responded obediently: "Yes, teacher."
She had a good teacher and learned a lot from her.
The key is that this teacher is also very wealthy and has more treasures than they had in a big family.
After saying this, Su Lun added: "Also, you two are just staying in the laboratory. I can't teach you many things. When you have time, go to the deck and find Tani and Lolotta.
Communicate more and get familiar with other partners in the Liming Group. By combining work and rest, your learning efficiency will be higher."
Kama was still very obedient: "Okay, teacher."
But Yabo Ke on the side said: "Teacher, just let my sister go alone for things like communication. I think the laboratory is more suitable for me, and learning makes me happy. Besides, teacher, aren't you always in the laboratory?
?Everyone says that Teacher is so great because of his hard work. I will work harder in the future and be as powerful as you, Teacher!"
Hearing this, Su Lun smiled.
Combining Seria's teachings with his own experience, he said: "Now is the time for you to accumulate learning, so it is best to stay in the laboratory. But in fact, fighting is the fastest way to progress, and the machine puppets are more
That’s right. The world is very big, you have to see it by yourself, and alchemists also need enough knowledge and experience to support your dreams. When you become stronger, you have to go out and practice on your own."
Kama was thoughtful and interjected: "Ah, Lolotta said, Senjo-sensei said the same thing."
Only then did Aback seem to understand something, "I understand, teacher."
The three of them were chatting like this. Suddenly, Tani's voice came from the communicator: "Mr. Su Lun, come and see, we seem to have arrived at the entrance of the 'River of the Underworld'!"
Su Lun listened and muttered: "We're finally here."
There is a chaotic magnetic field in the sea ruins, and there is no starlight or moonlight, so it is impossible to judge the direction. Fortunately, the Dawn Group has navigation treasures such as [Black Sam's World Chart], so we can go all the way west.
When Su Lun came to the deck, everyone was gathering around the side of the ship, looking shocked at the black swirling sea with a diameter of several thousand meters in the distance.
"Oh my god! I have never seen such a huge whirlpool in my life, and I have never even heard of it!"
"Do we really want to sail the boat in? If we get in, we can't get back in."
"Hahaha, it's time to test boy Tani's skills. We all depend on him."
"Oh, Mr. Sullen is here."
"Hello, Mr. Su Lun~"
""
Everyone looked at Su Lun and said hello one after another.
Su Lun didn't waste any time after responding and jumped onto the mast.
Standing at a high place, he also cast his gaze over, taking in the huge vortex hidden in the mist.
Huge, dark, scary, unknown, mysterious and ancient
Even if the black crow is released, it is impossible to see where the bottom of the sea vortex is. It is like a bottomless pit, swallowing endless sea water, as if it leads directly to another world.
This sea ruins is really like the legend, it is the end of the sea, where the dead seawater is buried.
Su Lun contacted Mr. Jing, described what he saw, and once again confirmed that this was "probably" the entrance to the river of the underworld.
At this moment, Tani is using his superb boat control skills to circle around the sea.
Behind the Dawn Regiment, there were dozens of sea ships.
Everyone looked at the swirling sea that looked like the mouth of an abyssal demon, not knowing how to make a decision.
Su Lun was observing. At this moment, Tani in the cockpit suddenly asked: "Mr. Su Lun, do we want to go down? If we turn any further, the sea whirlpool will drag us in. Or we have to leave as soon as possible.
.”
As soon as he said this, Senjo, Barrett, and Dr. Banks all looked over, waiting for his decision.
Although Su Lun often stays in the laboratory and makes a little appearance, everyone in the Dawn Group knows that he is the core of the team.
Su Lun frowned as he heard this, appearing very cautious. After all, this is not the sea ruins that Sir Isaac went to back then. This decision is related to the lives of everyone in the Dawn Regiment.
But there seemed to be no other way to leave Haixu.
After pondering for a moment, he asked first: "Tani, are you sure about going on?"
"no problem!"
Tani used his expertise to give an affirmative answer, and added: "The scope of this sea whirlpool is very large, and the wind direction is also stable. We just need to follow the whirlpool pattern. The strength of the 'Eternal Night' is enough to support us."
It was torn apart by the sea whirlpool. But I don’t know what will happen after it goes down. We can’t come up again.”
When Su Lun heard this, he glanced at Qian Jiao and the others, and received a firm look in response.
Everyone in the Dawn Group has absolute trust in him.
Su Lun calculated all the possibilities in his mind and said without much hesitation: "Then let's do it."
"good."
Tani's serious response came from the communicator, followed by the control command: "Sail operator is in position! Prepare to rush into the sea spin!"
The chief navigator gave the order, and everyone held their breath and concentrated.
After adjusting the sail angle, the "Eternal Night Emperor" rushed towards the huge sea swirl.
This crazy move immediately stunned the dozens of adventure groups who followed the Dawn Group behind them.
The "Black Panthers" knew something inside. Their leader "Red Nose" Miles was also an experienced adventurer. He did not hesitate to order his subordinates to throw away the heavy gold and silver belongings on the ship and follow them.
The other ships hesitated.
In such a huge whirlpool, regardless of whether they can stay stable, no one can make the decision immediately to give up the treasures on the ship that were exchanged for their lives.
The Dawn Group also ignored those strangers.
The "Eternal Night" soon sailed into an area with exaggerated vortex ocean currents. The traction force on the hull of the seawater became stronger and stronger, and its maneuverability became smaller and smaller.
"Retract the jib, keep the mainsail under control! Place half a spear to stabilize the hull!"
"Hold on tight, we're going to hit the waves!"
""
Tani's hoarse roar came from the communicator.
Under his command and control, the ship's hull was at an almost 90-degree vertical angle, riding on the ripples of the sea at an ever-increasing speed.
Everyone's hearts were hanging in their throats, and their expressions were either solemn, excited, or anxious.
Although the Poseidon-class battleship is powerful, it is so feeble when faced with the power of nature. Once it is operated carelessly and gets involved in the turbulence, the ship will be crushed into pieces by the power of the huge ocean current in an instant.
fragments.
But after a violent collision, the entire ship suddenly became stable.
The huge centripetal force stuck everyone's feet to the deck. It looked very dangerous, but like a train on the right track, it became stable.
At this time, Tani's excited voice came from the communicator: "Hahaha, the dangerous moment has been passed, and we have successfully entered the stable flow rate area of the sea vortex!"
As soon as these words came out, there were sounds of great relief on the deck.
Su Lun looked at the dark swirling black hole with no bottom visible, his eyes filled with energy.
It was a feeling of falling into an endless abyss.
Facing the abyss, fear was no longer there, but endless courage filled my heart.
The same goes for Qian Jiao on the side. Looking at each other, they both saw the fearlessness in the other's eyes.
And those around them, Lolotta, Kama, and Yabok, had never seen such a scene before, and their little faces were full of nervousness.
The sea swirl seems to have no end, leading into endless darkness.
Expectation gradually emerged among the uneasiness on everyone's faces.
This is also one of the joys of adventure. The route ahead is always full of unknowns.
In a very short period of time, the "Eternal Night" descended vertically for about ten kilometers. Suddenly, everyone saw a bright blue light in their field of vision.
After a moment of violent impact, it felt like the ship had crashed into the river from a waterfall, and the water flow became gentle.
It was pitch black all around, but there were groups of blue jellyfish-like spirits flowing through the water.
Su Lun examined it and found out that what it showed was actually [the soul of the deceased].
He was overjoyed and said loudly: "We have arrived at the 'River of the Underworld'!"
When everyone heard this, their faces lit up with joy.
Seeing this river means that they are on the right path and will hopefully get out.
At this time, Su Lun shouted again: "Everyone throw down the [Obolus Silver Coin]!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone threw a silver coin they had prepared into the water. This was to bribe the ferryman of the River Styx to redeem their souls who were supposed to go to the underworld.
"Crash!" The silver coin entered the water, and everyone in the Dawn Group closed their eyes.
In the legend of the Roman Kingdom, a large black river surges from the underworld, called the "Agron River".
Its branches are all over the major planes. After people die, their souls will float along this river to the underworld. The undead must pay a silver coin to the ferry god before they can safely cross the river by boat, otherwise they will end up in the River of Pain.
Wandering and lost along the coast, never finding a home.
Su Lun also closed his eyes. This is the rule on the River Styx. If you really see the ferrying god, you must take her place to extradite the dead souls and never go back. Or you may wait until the next successor to go there.
underworld
After paying the fare, the Yongye cruised slowly upstream on the river, and the slightest sound of water could be heard in my ears.
Mr. Jing said that the River Styx gathers all the dark laws of this plane, and flowing upstream on the River Styx will wash away people's souls and allow people to understand the mysteries of some dark laws.
Entering Haixu was an accident, and it was also a great opportunity.
An opportunity that most people will never be able to touch in their lifetime.
Everyone in the Dawn Group closed their eyes, crossed their legs, stood, or lay flat, and contemplated carefully.
Su Lun cultivated dark spiritual power and understood the "Law of Death". The breath of the Styx made him feel very comfortable.
For the first time, he felt the difference in the law of death.
The "law of death" is like a big tree, so the leaves are all different shades of green, tender green, light green, crystal green, dark green, and even the richest black.
Su Lun felt that what he understood was just one of the leaves, neither too green nor too dull.
He could clearly feel that there was darkness behind him, and they were heading in the direction where the law was becoming more and more bleak.
I don’t know how long it took, it seemed like hours or days.
Suddenly, everyone felt the light.
Su Lun opened his eyes, and when he took a look, he saw the long-lost blue sky, white clouds, and the warm sun.
The dark energy accumulated after staying in the land of the dead for a long time was also swept away, and the entire spiritual world became clear.
"Hahaha we are finally back!"
"Oh, that damn undead smell in the sea ruins made me feel that the sea breeze smells so good for the first time!"
""
On the deck, everyone had a party, immersed in the great joy of returning from the adventure.
As the River Styx flowed backwards, everyone seemed to have been cleansed in their souls. They couldn't describe the feeling, but they all had expressions of harvest on their faces.
For the first time in two hundred years, the Evernight was exposed to sunlight, and its murderous black sails looked domineering under the sunlight.
The flag of the Dawn Regiment flutters on the mast.
Not far away, the ships of the "Black Panther Regiment" also followed.
"Red Nose" Miles wanted to return to Lu Ying and guessed that the Dawn Regiment had other important matters, so he waved goodbye to Barrett.
Although a lot of treasures were lost, everything was brought back. Overall, the harvest from this trip was pretty good.
After bidding farewell to the Black Panthers, Tani used a sextant to determine their approximate location and reported: "Mr. Su Lun, we are now several thousand nautical miles away from where we first entered Haixu."
Su Lun did not forget that their main goal this time was the "void ruins". He said: "Continue sailing!"
Everyone cheered and Yang Fan set sail.
Princess Shuang Yue most likely would not have guessed that they survived from the sea ruins.
