Su Lun cleaned up some battle traces in the bottom warehouse to ensure that no one would find out about him due to some obvious fighting methods.
Then he walked around carefully on every floor of the cruise ship.
The bottom cabin is the civilian passenger area, and the people are very dense. It has become a scene of purgatory. Almost all humans have been transformed into monsters, and their death is horrific. Because of the loss of the blood refining altar, the bodies of the monsters shrank and turned into
There were grotesque mummies.
In areas where there was obviously fighting, the corpses merged into various multi-faced monsters, which were shriveled up like old trees. Various flesh and blood tissues were stuck to the walls and floors, making people's scalp numb.
Su Lun got some specimens of the many-faced monster that were not completely dead and gave them to Dr. Banks in the small void world for research.
When he came to the banquet hall again, it was already half an hour later.
The banquet hall was in a mess, and people were terrified.
The auction that used to be bustling now has less than 200 people alive.
In other words, there were originally nearly 5,000 people on the entire cruise ship. Including those who luckily escaped in the cabin, there were only so many people alive.
Fortunately, he had dealt with the Cardinal Archbishop of the Giant Monastery, otherwise the entire army would have been destroyed.
For the first time, Su Lun had a deep understanding of the term "evil god".
When he arrived at the banquet hall, he didn't say hello to anyone else, and found a relatively clean sofa in the corner to sit and rest.
Not far away, Kama and Yabok were surrounded by a group of students from the Royal Academy and were talking.
In the battle just now, the two of them showed extraordinary fighting prowess, which has been recognized by everyone.
Especially for people like Alex, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life-saving grace. Everyone gathered around to express their gratitude.
"Miss Kama, your puppetry is so powerful, it must be inherited from a master of a certain lineage, right?"
"Well! We are the puppet masters of the Boyle family, descended from the lineage of the puppet master Seria from a thousand years ago."
"Oh, I heard before when I was giving puppet courses at the academy that Boyle's lineage of puppet masters is unparalleled in the world and is the longest line of puppet masters in the world."
"Hey, if I had known that puppetry was so powerful, I should have advanced to become a puppet master."
"Blanco, it's not that easy. A powerful puppet master like Miss Karma requires not only powerful puppets, but also puppet manipulation requires more than ten years of hard work. This is very difficult."
"Miss Karma, you and your brother saved me this time. My father and mother will definitely expect me to invite you to my house as a guest to show our humble gratitude to our Roberts family. Please let me have this honor."
"
"I"
Karma was at a loss as to how to respond to those invitations.
She didn't know that it was her teacher who really solved this crisis, and her own contribution was so insignificant.
Yabok's keen observation ability was noticed the first time Su Lun came back. He had no interest in this kind of boring entertainment at all. He wanted to return to his teacher.
But Su Lun waved his hand and pretended not to know him.
After all, his disciples cannot always be under his protection, they have to spread their wings and experience on their own.
Albock also instantly understood what Su Lun meant.
Although he found it boring to socialize, he still stayed in the group of students with his sister, minding his own business playing with the Rubik's Cube without paying attention to anyone else.
Su Lun just sat quietly in the corner, like a little transparent person, and no one cared.
He looked around,
That guy Kit is still struggling with that "Ruth" from MI.
Caroline was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Several of her subordinates were giving first aid, and they looked like they would not die.
The remote communication equipment on the "Queen Roderica" cruise ship was completely damaged and it was unable to contact the outside world.
But almost as soon as the signal contact was lost, the Sun Shipping Company to which it belonged discovered anomalies.
After all, there were a bunch of minor nobles and the young master of the big congressman's family on the ship. The leaders of the shipping company did not dare to be careless. After calculating the location of the accident, they immediately dispatched nearby ships to rescue them.
When the sky just dawned, a medium-sized cruise ship "Golden One" in the nearby waters had already arrived.
Seeing the traces of battles all over the ship, the people on the rescue ship were also startled. They thought they had encountered a shipwreck such as running aground on the rocks, a magnetic storm, or something like that, but when they saw the corpses everywhere, they were shocked.
After figuring out the reason, the cult "Giant Hermitage" also appeared in the public eye for the first time.
Because there were only three to two hundred people alive, there was no need to dispatch a large ship to transfer them. A group of people just boarded the Golden No. 1 cruise ship and stayed away from the incident site.
In order to prevent anyone from trying to silence them again, the minor nobles immediately contacted their respective families to send people to respond and tell the truth about the matter.
Not long after, more than a dozen warships from the Luying Royal Navy arrived and picked up Alex and the other minor nobles.
Siblings Kama and Aberke have their own identities and don't need to pretend. The Boyle family is a hereditary baron, and they will carry forward this surname in the future.
Civilian passengers were not eligible to board the warship, so Su Lun didn't want to cause too much trouble and went back to Linton with the cruise ship.
The two disciples now have a certain ability to protect themselves, and it’s time to give them room to grow.
A few days later, the cruise ship was already in sight of Cactello Port in South Town, London.
The cruise ship made a long whistle sound to alert people on the dock that it was about to dock.
Passengers also began to pack their luggage and prepare to disembark.
Su Lun stood on the deck, looking at the city shrouded in heavy fog from a distance, his eyes deep.
This is the Luying Imperial Capital, Lingdun, known as the Holy Land of Alchemy.
The main color of the ancient city in the field of vision is gray. A layer of gray fog can be seen above the city. In the hazy fog, you can see the Gothic-style spiers of the buildings and their different shapes.
steel bridge. There are also slowly moving steam airships floating in the sky.
This is a city of steam and steel.
In a world with extraordinary power, the development of mechanical technology is very slow. The urban mechanization of Linton City is almost the same as a thousand years ago. Ancient steam engines have been running in this city for thousands of years, and countless coals are consumed every day. Those
Tall chimneys spew exhaust fumes into the air all the time. Particulate matter in the air persists all year round, causing the city to have very bad air and slightly toxic smog.
Even from a distance, Su Lun could smell the throat-drying smell of soot.
This is a better place to wear a gas mask than an underground city like Old Town.
Not long after, the cruise ship docked.
Passengers walked down the gangway one after another.
Su Lun looked at his pocket watch and saw that the cruise ship was half an hour later than the scheduled docking time. He muttered to himself: "I hope she didn't wait too long."
He got off the ship with his luggage.
There were many local people holding signs to pick up customers on the pier, as well as thieves, gangsters and people soliciting customers mixed in the crowd.
As soon as Su Lun's feet touched the ground, several groups of people rushed up.
Cigarette sellers, alcohol sellers, pimps, and others took the opportunity to steal their pocket watches and storage rings.
Su Lun didn't even pay attention to it, he followed the crowd and squeezed out.
At this moment, a gangster who looked like a local gangster came over and said mysteriously: "Hey! Brother, do you want a refreshing potion? Really good stuff."
Energizing drugs are hallucinogens because they are highly addictive.
Although it is very common in the field of alchemy, it is also prohibited by Lu Ying's law.
If it is prohibited, there will be huge profits.
Su Lun has long been used to it. In Old Town, this is also one of the main sources of income for the gang.
He didn't pay attention to this kind of drug dealer, but he didn't expect that the guy actually sneezed when he got close to him.
Listening to the movement, Su Lun's eyes narrowed slightly. He had already passed by and looked back at the guy. He was suspicious: A believer in the Giant Monastery?
He has that kind of irritating perfume on him that only believers will sneeze if they smell it.
"Ah sneeze!"
"Ah sneeze!"
Two more sneezes occurred in succession. The young man wearing a peaked cap rubbed his nose and muttered to himself: "Oh, I caught a cold yesterday. Why do I keep sneezing?"
Only then did Su Lun confirm that this guy probably had that kind of parasite in his body.
Seeing that Su Lun stopped and seemed to be interested in the potion, the peaked hat quickly opened his cheap suit and showed the red potion in the row of test tubes, and said: "Brother, would you like a few? Really good stuff! I can guarantee it.
, there is no refreshing potion on the market that is as good as mine."
Su Lun saw a flash of light in his left eye and immediately identified it.
[Diluted Awakening Potion]
Detailed explanation: The medicine made from human blood crystals can refresh the mind and increase energy within a few hours after taking it; it has a high probability of causing mental hallucinations and is highly addictive; the medicine contains a small amount of ectoparasite larvae; this concentration
, obviously over-diluted.
When Su Lun saw the identified information, although there was no strange expression on his face, he instantly became concerned about it.
This potion is actually made from human blood crystals, and it also contains parasite larvae?
I thought that the Giant Hermitage had only infiltrated Lu Ying's upper echelons on a small scale, but I didn't expect to get such a hallucinogen and directly poison the people at the bottom.
Seeing the potion and thinking about what happened on the cruise ship before, Su Lun had a possibility in his mind: Is the outer god going to use this method to sacrifice the entire Lingdun?
Lingdun is the imperial capital of Lu Ying. It has the largest number of high-level alchemists in the entire plane, and is also guarded by ninth-level masters. Even outside gods would never dare to run rampant here.
But the current situation is that the giant monastery has definitely penetrated into the Luying royal family and the elite class, and now it is using this potion to corrode the bottom class.
The consequences are unimaginable.
Although there are not many people taking hallucinogens, even if it is one percent, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the entire city of Linton with tens of millions of people!
By then, the wave of aberrant infections like those on the Queen Roderica cruise ship will really break out, and the entire city of Rington will become a real zombie hell!
A huge conspiracy immediately came to mind.
Only then did Su Lun think of the incomplete memories of the cardinal and archbishop that had been stripped away before, and it seemed like another piece of the puzzle had been completed.
Just when his thoughts were flowing, the man in the peaked hat urged again: "Brother, what do you want?"
Su Lun took a potion, skillfully applied a little on the back of his hand, and then sniffed it.
As a former gang member, I still have the basic skills of inspecting goods.
He smelled the smell, showed a fairly satisfied expression, and asked lightly: "How did you sell it?"
The man in the peaked hat knew that he was an expert when he saw this method of testing the medicine, and he said tentatively: "One hundred and fifty li for one tube."
Su Lun ignored him and turned around to leave.
"Hey! Brother, if you are sincere, I can give you a little less."
The peaked hat quickly stopped Su Lun and explained: "Although it is more expensive, I dare say that there is no such good product anywhere else in Lingtong."
exclusive?
Su Lun captured something keenly and sneered: "This kind of good product formula is not easy, it is impossible for a great alchemist to refine it."
It seems to be sarcasm, but actually it is to test.
When the peaked hat heard this, he was really anxious to explain: "I see you are knowledgeable. Have you heard of the 'Vaughn Brotherhood'? To be honest, this was made by the alchemist boss of our gang. I can't disclose the details."
, but I can guarantee that there is absolutely nothing to say about the goods.”
Su Lun was still impressed by the name.
There are dozens of gangs, large and small, in more than a dozen districts in Linton City.
This "Vaughn Brotherhood" is a small gang entrenched near the dock.
Is this gang a distributor?
Or a believer in an alien god?
The potions in front of me are obviously diluted products, which is also very common among gangs.
The gang members got a good product with 100% purity and sold it for 100 Liso.
Then it can be diluted into two bottles with a purity of 50% and sold for 60.
This way you can earn a little more.
As long as there is some utility, there will be people who are greedy for cheap.
Dilution is much simpler than configuration and has almost no technical content.
But what is certain is that this guy really has a "source" of goods.
When they met for the first time, Su Lun didn't act too eager, otherwise it would only make people suspicious.
He said directly: "One hundred and twenty, I will try ten of them first. If the goods are really good, I will come back to you in the future."
Seeing that there was business, the man in the peaked hat also took out the potion and said proactively: "Okay, if you really want to use it, if you think it's good, just come and see me. My name is Bacchus. I hang out at the dock on weekdays, looking for people."
Just ask around and you’ll find out.”
"good."
Su Lun didn't do any ink, took the money, and put away the medicine.
Such little guys only work in bulk and don't know much information.
Su Lun still has things to do now, so he will come back to touch on this line when he is ready.
He put the potion into the small void world and gave it to Dr. Banks for research.
Su Lun passed through a passenger passage, climbed a few steps, and arrived at the street.
This is a steam train platform.
Nancheng District is an old city, and most of the people living there are civilians. Steam trains are also the most basic means of transportation for people to travel.
The masonry on the ground has too many traces of history, with potholes and black water everywhere. Some manhole covers on the street also have some hot white gas coming out.
When Su Lun first walked up, he saw mounted policemen with guns patrolling through the street in pairs, riding shiny horses.
This kind of knight, who should have been eliminated by steam motorcycles long ago, is still the most important patrol force in Linton City. Because the nobles like this ancient ritual that highlights the city's heritage.
At this moment, a slim young girl was standing next to the platform. She was looking around, as if waiting for someone else.
Although it was only the afternoon, the sun could not be seen in the city due to the fog and high-rise buildings. The sight was gray, and the hot and humid steam and majestic wind blew away the girl's thick black hair, revealing her fair and beautiful face.
face profile.
Su Lun recognized the person and walked over.
The girl happened to look over.
In an instant, she recognized the old friend in front of her, her crystal eyes suddenly lit up, and she greeted warmly: "Mr. Su Lun!"
Su Lun looked at this girl whose appearance had changed a lot and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Miss Reina."
Reina grinned brightly, "Yes, it's been a long time since we last met."
About three or two years ago?
Su Lun calculated the time in his mind, and realized that quite a long time had passed since he came out of Jiulingdun.
He carefully looked at Lena in front of him, and then he realized that this girl had really changed a lot.
When we last met, Reina was still a young female student, but now she is a beautiful and charming young lady.
She was wearing a small suit with exquisite workmanship, which perfectly outlined her figure. At the same time, she looked very capable. People from Old Lingdun have extremely white and delicate skin, which is matched with her straight hair.
Her black hair exuded a sense of purity and beauty. She stood in this dim street, as if she had been blessed with a bright filter, attracting the side glances of passers-by.
Probably because the old butler "Magic Sheep" Anthony, who was waiting beside the motorcycle, looked indifferent, no one dared to come forward and disturb him.
Seeing his old friend, Su Lun also felt very good.
During the trial in the underground outer layer of Old Lingdun, the two of them shared the same sorrow. Later, they were able to escape thanks to her being a "hostage" during the escape in the inner city. Later, they had close contact with each other, and their friendship was naturally not shallow.
.
Speaking of which, Black Scythe also got the two famous guns [Razer] and [Ao Oni] from her when I met her.
The two of them have too many memories in common.
The cruise ship was delayed for half an hour. Su Lun was a little embarrassed: "I kept you waiting for so long. Miss Reina."
"No la."
Reina seemed to welcome an old friend she hadn't seen for a long time, and she generously extended her arms.
Su Lun also walked over and gave the girl, who was half a head taller than two years ago, a warm hug.
Wen Yu entered his arms, and a faint fragrance entered his nose, and the good mood of meeting old friends suddenly became stronger.
After hugging each other for a few breaths, the two separated.
Reina blinked, and the light in her crystal eyes trembled.
She looked at Su Lun and said, "Wow, Mr. Su Lun has become handsome again~"
Su Lun shook her head in disbelief and said with a smile: "Miss Reina has really become more beautiful."
Reina tilted her head and smiled, seemingly very happy, "Really?"
Su Lun nodded, not stingy with his praise, and responded to the expectant look seriously, "Well, she looks better."
He found that not only her appearance had changed, but Rena's personality had also changed a lot. At least the little girl who used to be shy and blushing at every turn was now able to hug and tease her openly.
Reina always had a slight smile on her eyebrows, as if she had a lot to say. But she pointed to the steam locomotive beside her and said, "Mr. Su Lun, let's talk after we get on the train."
"Um."
Su Lun nodded, looked at the old housekeeper waiting by the car, and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Anthony."
Anthony's old face showed a rare smile and said: "Mr. Su Lun, long time no see. Get in the car first, there are many people here."
He opened the car door.
"Um."
Su Lun nodded and motioned for the lady to get in the car first.
Reina was not polite, took Su Lun's hand and got into the car together.
As soon as the door is closed, it immediately becomes a private space for two people to be alone. Linton's steam locomotive is the same as the old-fashioned carriage. In order to ensure their privacy, the aristocratic gentlemen opened the passenger compartment and the driver's cab independently.
This car also has soundproofing. After closing the door, it immediately cuts off the noisy sounds in the street. It also blocks the sound of the loud steam boiler.
Su Lun and the two sat on the soft leather cushions.
Reina directly talked about today's business, saying: "Mr. Su Lun, the special metals you summoned before have been collected in large quantities, and now they are piled in the cargo terminal warehouse. You can pick them up in the past. And you need it.
I have also contacted the seller of those large mechanical lathes and are discussing the purchase. They should be available within a week or two."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Su Lun nodded.
I was in such a hurry to leave the dock because I wanted to get the batch of materials as soon as possible.
The war workshop production in the small void world has almost stopped due to lack of materials.
It's also thanks to Rena and the others helping with the operation in Linton, otherwise it would be really difficult to get the special metals controlled by the military.
Mr. Tingjing said before that the Reyes family's Chamber of Commerce has established a firm foothold in Luying. Reina's performance is very eye-catching, even surpassing her father, and she has quickly grown into the mainstay of the Chamber of Commerce.
Looking at it now, Lena has indeed grown a lot.
At this time, he sensed something and asked: "Rena, have you advanced to the third level?"
Reina nodded, with an expression on her face like a little girl who wanted to be praised, "Yes, in addition to running the Chamber of Commerce, I have also worked hard to become stronger over the years."
But then, the conversation changed: "But compared with Mr. Su Lun, it's much worse!"
Su Lun smiled and said nothing.
Reina said, and took out a few newspapers on the seat, pointed to the black and white photo above, and said: "I saw you appear in the newspaper before, and I realized how powerful you have become.'1v200,000
', Oh my God! You don't know that because of the war in Roman Kingdom, puppet master has become the most popular profession in Rington recently. The price of related materials has skyrocketed several times, and crows have become the most fashionable pets! In the city,
The Alchemy Guild is still holding the 'National Puppet Master Competition'."
"hehe."
Su Lun smiled.
I glanced at it and realized that this was a newspaper from almost a month ago. The photo above was of my own battle scene in the arena of the city-state of Moros. I was covered in a two-way cloak and holding a black scythe. Although the photo didn't show the lingering feeling all over my body
He was domineering, but his stern temperament that made him red-eyed at that time was captured in the photo.
It does sell well.
Reina seemed to be collecting relevant newspapers, and skillfully opened a few more, which were all information about the battle, and pointed: "And here and here."
As she told other people's stories, she became more and more excited.
Since they were the only two people in the carriage, she didn't shy away from it and sat very close to her naturally and intimately.
Su Lun looked at the newspaper, glanced at it inadvertently, and saw a patch of white flowers.
Reina wore a smart and smart suit, but the white lining had a very fashionable lace design. The original button position was completely hollowed out, leaving a long vertical opening, revealing a large area of tender skin. That slightly
The height is just right, and there is a kind of looming charm in the sexy. This dress shows the beauty of the mature woman's figure to the fullest.
Regardless of the material and design, this dress is top-notch.
If it were normal, you wouldn't be able to see anything.
But now she is sitting here without deliberately closing her clothes, so she is naturally looking at the white flowers.
Su Lun immediately narrowed his eyes.
But I don't feel the contrast in my mind.
I remember seeing this girl's figure before. Although it was not bad, she was still young and mature at that age, so it was probably only slightly bulging.
Well, I've really matured a lot now, and I can't hide it anymore.
I happen to be at my best age, even without underwear, I still look proud.
Reina is now a third-level professional, so her perception is naturally not bad.
Where did she not notice that glance?
Only then did he realize that his clothes were open.
Before, she would have blushed with embarrassment.
But now, although there was an imperceptible strange color in Reina's eyes, she asked openly: "Mr. Su Lun, do you also think this dress looks good? Is this the most popular women's clothing design in Linton?
I asked Sister Sabina’s personal tailor to customize it~”
"Quite good looking."
Su Lun nodded and asked curiously: "Are you familiar with Sabina?"
Reina blinked her eyelashes lightly and smiled brightly: "Yes, because they are both from Old Town. Sister Sabina has been together for the past two years and has helped me a lot. She has also taught me a lot.
She taught me how to match this dress. She also said, Mr. Su Lun, you will definitely think it looks good."
""
Su Lun suddenly felt like he understood something.
Taught a lot?
Based on his understanding of Sabina, wouldn't he have taught Reina some strange knowledge?
A hint of cunning flashed in Reina's eyes, and she added: "Sister Sabina was originally going to come to greet you, but because she was investigating a special piece of information, she couldn't get away today, so she didn't come."
"oh."
Su Lun didn't care either.
Sabina is engaged in intelligence work, so it is better to hide her.
Reina didn't seem to mind the clothing issue, and her eyebrows already had the calmness and confidence of an office lady. Probably because she was with Su Lun.
She continued to talk about some recent information
Steam cars drove through the streets of London, and the buildings on the streets passed by quickly.
The southern part of Ringtown is an old city with very old buildings. Beggars in ragged clothes are everywhere on the streets. This is a breeding ground for crime and gangs.
The two of them talked about some facts and the past at the same time, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
But suddenly, Su Lun's eyes caught a glimpse of a large building under construction on the street.
The spire, bell tower, majestic stone columns and arches, and the stained glass windows with a strong religious atmosphere all indicate that this is no ordinary building.
And right in front of the building, there were people dressed as nuns giving porridge and bread to the poor, and there was a long queue.
The living conditions of the lower class people in Linton are still very poor, and there are many homeless people who starve to death every day.
Reina looked at Su Lun's eyes and said: "That is the newly built church. Originally, the "Faith Act" could not be passed in the parliament, but Queen Charlotte used the royal family's privileged vote to bypass the parliament and pass it.
The bill. Later, for some unknown reason, the two major congressmen also voted in favor. Now the whole of Lu Ying no longer prohibits religious belief. Especially believers of various gods from the four countries of Beizhou came to Lu Ying to preach. Conservatively I estimate that Lingdun City
The current number of various sects here exceeds at least fifty."
""
Su Lun frowned as he listened.
He thought of the guy who sold hallucinogens at the dock before, and became more and more aware of what Mr. Bai Jing said.
The alchemical civilization must not allow believers of God to take power! "Oh, by the way, Mr. Su Lun. There is also a very important piece of information that we need to be careful about."
At this time, Reina thought of something again and said: "Just a week ago, Archduke Raphael officially passed the parliamentary vote and won the sixth 'big council seat'. The specific reason is unknown, but it is said that it was because of his
The powerful military capabilities have been recognized by the other five council members. Sister Sabina also reminded us that an intelligence organization suspected of being an 'umbrella organization' has recently appeared in Ringling, telling us to be more careful."
"oh?"
When Su Lun heard this, his eyes instantly showed contemplation.
He had used a mechanical octopus to attack a submarine before, and Archduke Raphael probably knew that the neuromechanical technology had been leaked.
Originally, Raphael was a lord in a remote place, unable to reach the imperial capital.
Now he has directly become a "big council member"
This has to be guarded against.
Just when Su Lun and Reina were going to the cargo terminal.
In the Anti-Smuggling Bureau office at Caktelo Port, the communicator rang.
"What, you said a buyer came to pick up the contraband from the 'Thunder Cat Chamber of Commerce'?"
"Yes, Mr. Section Chief. The warehouse has received the delivery application form and confirmed the news."
"My darling, after waiting for so long, the buyer has finally arrived. Call people to gather and prepare to arrest people! Inform the congressman that there are clues coming!"
