Jike's blasting plan perfectly solved the security restriction problem of the Royal Library, and Su Lun felt that things suddenly became easier.
He contacted Kit using the communicator.
The guy was still thinking hard about how to find loopholes to bypass the security patrol.
After all, it was the ultimate challenge for the thief profession, and he was very interested in it.
However, several plans have been devised, but none of them are sure to escape unscathed. They are waiting for Su Lun to send more detailed information to see if there is a breakthrough.
Now listening to Su Lun's blasting plan, Kit immediately agreed.
As long as it can be blasted directly into the collection hall, the manuscript will be at your fingertips.
Although there are some other high-level restrictions, it is not a big problem for Kit. This guy is proficient in various lock-picking abilities and restriction cracking, and now the title of "Lington's No. 1 Phantom Thief" is not wasted.
In vain.
The rest is just a matter of waiting for Jike's finished explosives to be prepared and then finding the right opportunity to take action.
Su Lun doesn't even need to worry about it later.
Not long after, Su Lun and Sabina left the Royal Academy.
Originally, she planned to invite Lena to have dinner with the three of them. But Sabina said that she suddenly had an epiphany state of advancing to the fourth level, and it was a rare opportunity. She found a safe place to fuse the materials to advance.
Su Lun also expressed his support.
After walking around the Royal Library, he also gained a deeper understanding of the Luying royal family and the established nobles.
There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Linton, and there is an undercurrent surging in Linton City now. Sabina is stronger and has more protection.
In the evening, Suellen and Lena had dinner together. Then they rode motorcycles to the Vaughn Brotherhood's territory, went clubbing, and spent the night together.
Because Suellen killed the gang's president and a bunch of core members, the Vaughan Brotherhood almost collapsed. The Rolling Stone Bar and nightclubs that were originally covered by this gang also changed people and became the territory of another gang.
After asking for information, I found that in the past few days, people in the underworld have been looking for the person who caused trouble that day. But because Su Lun and the others did it cleanly, they didn't leave any directional information, so there was no threat.
Su Lun always felt that the mysterious "curator" had some other purpose for letting the gang spread the [Scarlet Potion], so he and Rena wandered around various nightclubs.
We went to bars, underground boxing matches, casinos and even sex clubs.
Reina, a good girl since she was a child, has gained a lot of knowledge and opened her eyes to the life of the underworld. However, Su Lun did not find any useful clues. It seems that those who sold drugs privately were also hiding.
Even the number of patients with the Red Death seemed to be decreasing.
It was obviously a warning.
After visiting several nightclubs and dancing until two o'clock in the middle of the night, Su Lun and Reina returned to the apartment together.
Another night of gentle and sweet dreams.
After two days like this, Su Lun successfully obtained the coveted batch of imported Marfa equipment.
According to Su Lun's request, the gangster king of Rington arranged for the cargo to be loaded onto a ship and transported to the agreed coordinates at sea, and then all the crew members disembarked and left.
Su Lun didn't find any hidden methods, and no one came to ambush him, so he teleported directly and stuffed all the equipment on the ship into the small void world.
Then he let the empty ship sail automatically and headed for the open sea.
With this batch of equipment, the productivity of Sullun's war workshop instantly increased dozens of times.
Now the small void world has become a large-scale mechanical war factory. After the installation and debugging of the new equipment, combined with the precision instruments on the submarine, the mechanical war armor assembly line will be directly formed!
As long as there are enough materials, dozens of soldier-level mechanical armors can be produced every day. Even the elite officer-level armors of level three or above have a production capacity of nearly one a day.
It is conceivable that in time, Su Lun's mechanical puppet army will reach the size of a real army.
There is also complete logistical support for supplies, repairs, and maintenance at any time.
And after this period of thinking, the assembly line of the Rune Puppet was also completed. There was also a major breakthrough in the research on the Overlord Mechanical Octopus jointly improved by Dr. Banks and Marfa's mechanical engineers. A new batch of mechanical octopus
Octopus has also been put into production.
Suellen's puppet army is quietly growing.
But the problem came again.
After there was no shortage of equipment, there was a shortage of materials again.
The construction of the war workshop was due to two chances, the robbery of the Marfa submarine, and the Full Moon Ball incident. The equipment was almost complete. However, without spending any money, Su Lun had almost the first-class equipment in the world.
Machinery factory.
But the materials are really expensive.
All the control materials that the Thunder Cat Chamber of Commerce had managed to obtain before were put in, but it probably won't take long for them to run out.
In addition, many components used in high-level officer-level armor are top-notch scarce materials that cannot be bought even if you have money.
Fortunately, there is now another safe channel.
This time the equipment was successfully obtained, Su Lun also secretly lamented that the energy of the "Shadow Lord" was indeed exaggerated. Thinking that it had been revealed that he had a need for mechanical equipment, next time he went to the Full Moon Ball, he would go directly to buy a wave of mechanical materials.
alright.
…
Su Lun has been living in Reina's apartment and hasn't gone out much.
But through the newspapers he subscribed to, he learned about the recent events in Lu Ying.
In the past two days, "Lington Daily News" and "Queen's Metropolis Daily" have been fiercely at each other's throats.
The reason is that before the new drug launch of "Bakchi Biopharmaceutical Company" began, a large number of counterfeit [Scarlet Potion] appeared on the market.
This medicine is cheap and has the effect of suppressing the symptoms of erythremia to a certain extent. However, those fake medicines also have some minor side effects, such as vomiting and diarrhea.
Therefore, this also caused the health department in Linton to find trouble with Bachchi Biopharmaceutical Company, directly disrupting their new drug release plan.
Su Lun knew that this was a fake medicine thrown out by Ekaterina to disrupt the market, and it was also an emergency plan to deal with the spread of [Scarlet Potion].
But because there was no problem with the original [Scarlet Potion].
Such a move can only delay the release of the medicine, but cannot solve the problem.
After a large-scale outbreak of the Red Death, this medicine will be rolled out sooner or later, and even Lu Ying officials will support it.
After all, behind this pharmaceutical company is a large group of British nobles headed by the Congressman Rodriguez family. Those nobles are still waiting for this special medicine to treat the Red Death to make huge profits, and they will never let anyone cut off their financial path.
Even if a few other big congressmen object, it won’t work!
Su Lun looked at the situation in the newspaper and couldn't think of a better way to break the situation.
Unless the root cause is found and those believers of God are uprooted, no one can do anything about it.
However, apart from the "Queen Roderica Cruise Incident" which was accidentally crashed, the Outer God has hardly made any big noise.
But his intuition told Su Lun that the calmer the sea, the more dangerous undercurrents lurked under it.
Those believers of alien gods have also penetrated and developed in Linton because of the "Freedom of Belief Act." When the conspiracy of the alien god is completed and breaks out, I am afraid that the problem will be a disaster for the entire alchemical plane.
But there is a believer lurking in the Bona royal family who is secretly controlling it, and policies cannot stop the development of believers in God.
There is nothing anyone can do.
Rights have become the key to the current dilemma.
In the next few days, Su Lun stayed in Lena's apartment and would only go out to nightclubs at night to look for clues.
He didn't go out until five days later.
Su Lun is going to the Puppet Masters Guild, because the finals of the "National Puppet Masters Competition" will be held there today.
Both Karma and Aback happened to be participating.
Su Lun, a teacher, also planned to go to the scene to see the performance of the two disciples.
The Puppet Master Guild was originally a very niche profession in Lu Ying, but due to Su Lun's previous battle in the city-state of Moros, a wave of puppet masters was set off. Puppet Master has now become one of the most popular career choices among professional apprentices.
That's why this national competition was created.
The organizers even gave out very generous prizes for this puppet master competition.
There is nothing else in Lingdun, but there are many ancient relics.
Su Lun saw the competition flyer in the newspaper, and among the prizes there were even a few puppet professional items that even he coveted.
But the bad news is that the contestants are targeting entry-level puppet masters below the third level.
Otherwise, Su Lun would be shameless enough to participate.
The good news is that among the puppet masters below the third level, the strength of the two Kama siblings is probably within the top few.
Not long after, Su Lun rode his motorcycle and arrived at No. 19 Gunpowder Street in Franklin District. That red brick building that looked like a church was the Puppet Masters General Union.
A large logo hangs at the door of the building, with a pattern of a five-fingered hand holding silk thread.
When Su Lun came, it was like watching a concert, with a sea of people.
Professionals wearing cloaks, carrying a crow on their shoulders, and holding all kinds of weird scythes can be seen everywhere here.
Each one of them does not look like a puppet master, but more like a death actor at a masquerade party.
It's not strong, but its equipment is good.
Su Lun looked at these guys imitating him and couldn't help laughing.
However, there were some serious puppet masters with their own puppets in the crowd.
Naturally, you have to show off your skills when you come here. There are many "people" in the crowd who are not alive at all.
Su Lun just saw a scarecrow puppet in the crowd, exuding dark energy fluctuations. This is a puppet of the curse style; there is also a puppet with several brass clockworks, from the classical mechanical style; and there is a zombie deer.
, animal puppet style; carrying several broadswords on his back, weapon style
Su Lun didn't look down on his colleagues at all.
There are many branches of the puppet master profession. Lu Ying has several puppet masters, and their level is still very high. This profession is not strong at the beginning, but it can usually surpass the third level puppet master, and its combat power is not weak at the same level.
This puppet master competition brought together puppet masters from all over the empire to join in the fun, and it was also a rare exchange event for puppet masters.
Because there were so many people watching the finals, a temporary alchemy market gradually appeared on the street outside the venue.
Puppet masters from all over the world sell some professional tools for puppet masters, such as silk threads, wood, colonial clothing, and employment materials. Of course, the most popular ones are crows and cloaks.
There are also many puppets that usually eat dust in the store's warehouse, or are unsold, and have been tied up and placed on the store's shelves again.
Because Su Lun got the infield tickets in advance, he was not in a hurry to go in.
He wandered all the way through the city.
The best selling items at the stall are the finished puppets.
There is no shortage of rich people in Lu Ying. Many of the people who came to watch the game this time were wearing the uniforms of the Royal Academy. Those little nobles forced the prices of various goods to be several times too high.
Su Lun looked at the selling prices of those low-level puppets and said it was outrageous.
Fortunately, he has no need for a puppet master of his current level and finished puppets.
After all, he is already a top master in this field, and it is difficult for anyone to be better than himself in puppet making skills.
Even if there are, most of them are ancient relics and will not be sold in the market.
After walking around, I gained a little bit.
Su Lun bought several volumes of puppet classics from other schools, and accidentally picked up an ancient secret volume on puppets.
It only cost a few thousand lisuo to buy a fragment of the secret technique of controlling air and controlling silk [Controlling Thread·Air Flow Needle Rain] worth at least several hundred thousand.
Items such as knowledge have a digestion threshold, which makes them useless for beginners, and they cannot be understood even after buying them.
What's more, the little nobles have never been short of knowledge. There are all kinds of classics in the Royal Academy that can be read in a lifetime, so they don't care about the things on the stalls.
This is the difference between nobles and civilian professionals.
While civilian professionals are still complacent about missing out on a small amount of resources, aristocratic professionals have already been immersed in the resources accumulated by their families for thousands of years for many years.
Not long after, as the game was about to start, Su Lun entered the competition field in the union.
This is a small circular theater that could originally accommodate a thousand people. Because thousands of people were crammed into the venue during the competition, it seemed a bit crowded. The sound of crows cawing was mixed with the noise of people.
A rough estimate is that there are at least a hundred crows in the arena!
Su Lun's ticket was in the last row of the infield. It was not very eye-catching, but it had a good view of the entire playing field.
Before the game even started, he heard people behind him discussing the game intensely.
"Oh, the prizes in this competition are really rich. The Alchemy Guild has really spent a lot of money to make a name for itself. The first place is actually a rare fifth-level [Iron Sand Puppet]. Wow, this thing is both offensive and defensive, really
If you want to get it, not only can you beat a fifth-level professional, but at least a third- and fourth-level professional can save your life. I’m so envious.”
"I have also heard of this puppet. It has always been a collection of the Puppet Guild, and I didn't expect it to be willing to take it out as a prize. Not only the first place, the second place is a very rare gold-quality silk cloth; the third place is
The top ten prizes in the version’s four-color elemental core structure diagram are all rare treasures!”
"Last time I heard that the puppet treasure [Heart of Four Color Elements] appeared in the Roman Kingdom. The union also sent an adventure group to look for it, but they didn't get it. I don't know who got it."
"It is said that it fell into the hands of the "God of Death". He has an indestructible gargoyle puppet in his hand. It is very powerful. I guess it is the strongest puppet in the world, even better than Grandmaster Aubrey's [Seven]
A dwarf] The elemental puppet is stronger."
"The strength of the "God of Death" is universally acknowledged. With one enemy against 200,000, no one of us Lu Ying can do it even if we are playing puppets."
"Indeed. The battle in the city of Moros really demonstrated the majesty of our puppet professionals with our strength."
""
As Su Lun listened, he heard various versions of boasting about himself, and felt a little dumbfounded.
The old men of the puppet union in the front row all looked unnatural.
The strongest puppet heritage is in the Lingdun Puppet Masters Guild, but now there is a foreign puppet master who has suppressed everyone's reputation. These masters are also a little embarrassed.
Most of the people watching the battle were young people, and they all continued talking without any hesitation.
"Who do you think can get first place this time?"
"Of course it's Grandmaster Aubrey's close disciple Elsa Bach. The young lady from the Marquis family awakened [-019-Two-Hearted Person], which is an excellent puppet master talent. Regardless of inheritance, or the quality of the puppets
They are all top-notch, and there is no opponent within the same level. What’s more, there is a record of her defeating third-level professionals in the past."
"I don't think so. Haven't you heard that descendants of the Boyle Machine puppet line have come to the imperial capital? In the previous incident on the Queen Roderica cruise ship, I heard that there were two puppet masters who were very powerful. They seemed to be in the top ten.
Stronger."
"That's right. Just listen to the achievements of the noble lady. She is very involved in a life-and-death fight. I heard that the two Boyles were killed by pirates and their entire family was killed. They have been drifting on the sea since then. They are true combatants."
"What bullshit Boyle, do you dare to underestimate our Royal Academy's number one puppet master? You are so naive! Just watch, if there is a real fight, you will know where the gap between nobles and commoners is."
""
Su Lun listened to the analysis of those people and was thinking about who could take first place.
He thinks Yabok has the best chance of winning.
Even though he is only a first-level professional, his second-level talent [Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart] requires him to fight with all his strength, even a few Kamas are not enough.
It is completely enough to deal with a group of puppet masters of the highest level.
The big guys always show up at the end.
Su Lun looked at his pocket watch. The game time was ten o'clock, and there was still one minute left.
At this moment, the venue suddenly became quiet, and an old man with a white beard led a few people in.
Su Lun read the information and found out that this old man with a white beard is Aubrey Hernandez, the president of the Puppet Masters Guild. He is also one of the world's recognized masters of Kung Fu puppets and the inheritor of the elemental puppet lineage.
And he was accompanied by two young men, one of whom Su Lun knew, the young master of the Roberts family who was almost killed on the cruise ship, Alex Roberts.
There was another one, but it was a handsome young man with a fair face that looked like a vampire.
Needless to say, they are probably all young masters from top noble families.
Otherwise, the president of the Puppet Masters Guild will not personally accompany him.
Su Lun didn't care about the nobles at first, but when he saw the ring on the young man's hand, his pupils shrank suddenly: "That ring is actually in this person's hand?!"
[Lilith’s Vampire Ring]
Quality:Legendary
Description: Put on the ring and you are a high-level vampire;
Curse characteristics: You can use this ring to absorb the target's blood essence and recover your own injuries and physical strength with high efficiency; long-term use of this ring can extend your life and keep you young forever; using this cursed object to absorb the target's blood essence will also inhale alien spiritual power.
, will lead to mental confusion; it requires the sacrifice of pure virgin blood of equivalent energy, which can weaken some of the curses used. The purer, the better the weakening effect;
Detailed explanation: This is a dark cursed object made by a great demon hunter in the Dawn Era using the finger bones of the ancestor of vampires. It possesses part of the blood-sucking ability of the ancestor of vampires, making it almost immortal. It can be used as a professional advancement material. After fusion, it can greatly
Improve the strength of the physical body, obtain "blood-devouring" and other related abilities, and obtain physical enhancement by sucking the target's flesh and blood. If the fusion conditions are met, the fallen angel bloodline suppresses the abyssal bloodline of the ring, and the distortion probability is less than 16%;
"Is this guy from the Rodriguez family?"
When Su Lun was on the ship before, he asked Mr. Jing, the blood descendant who had lived for seven hundred years, whether Lingdun had career advancement materials suitable for him.
The old vampire mentioned this ring.
Suellen only knew that the ring was in the possession of the Rodriguez family.
He thought it would be an old guy, but he didn't expect that it was a young man wearing it?
Su Lun looked at his pupils and shrank slightly, and thought to himself: "It's really a powerful cursed object. With it, you almost have the immortal body of a vampire."
After reading the identified information, Su Lun was sure that this cursed object was exactly what he needed. It greatly enhanced the physical body and had the ability to 'blood-devour'!
The most important thing is that you fully meet the fusion conditions!
Su Lun's transformed fallen angel bloodline is at a higher level than the abyss vampires, which directly leads to him having a higher probability of success.
Although the 16% probability of distortion is still not low, if you get another distortion tolerance potion from Dr. Banks, you can definitely suppress it to less than 8%!
When Su Lun saw this, he immediately became interested.
"But why is his soul so strange? Is it because of the ring?"
Su Lun felt again that this white-faced young man should be very strong.
But the soul fluctuations are very strange, even colder than a real vampire.
Su Lun immediately became suspicious, and his thoughts began to change.
After these people came in, they sat directly in the front row.
Su Lun also heard someone around him recognize the identities of several people.
"Hey, what's the background of those two noble young masters, they actually asked President Aubrey to accompany them?"
"You don't know this, right? Those two are the eldest sons of top noble families. The one in white is named Alex Roberts."
"Is the surname Roberts one of the six major congressmen?"
"What if?"
"Wow, no wonder. Where is the other one?"
"The other one is even more extraordinary. He is August, the second young master of the great congressman Duke Rodriguez's family, the second interpretation of [b-010-Big Eater]. When he graduated from the Royal Academy three years ago,
He is already a sixth-level professional, a truly peerless genius! He is known as one of the 'Top Ten Most Powerful Geniuses' of the Royal Academy in the past century."
"Oh, I also remembered what you said. The Royal Academy three years ago was really full of geniuses. Young William of the Raigadi family was also one of the 'Top Ten Geniuses'. I heard that he had just graduated and advanced.
Level 6. There is also Miss Ekaterina of the Lance family, who is said to be very strong as well."
"Oh, I get angry when you talk about Miss Ekaterina! Damn it, how could such a beautiful angel get married? Oh, my God, if I really want to get married, I feel like William of the Raigadi family
The eldest young master is barely worthy of her. But she actually wants to marry a second son of Lei Jiadi. I heard that he is a good-for-nothing, the son of his lover."
"You don't understand the mystery. The royal family does not allow the first heirs of two major families to marry like this. All parties will never allow such a strong alliance. The only way to marry the second son is to be a waste.
, so that it will not be hindered.”
""
Su Lun listened carefully to the information provided by the crowd behind him.
I heard the name of the man wearing the vampire ring is August Rodriguez, and the various auras of this young man.
But before I had time to think about it, while chatting, I actually ate my own melon again.
"The 'trash' of the Raigadi family?"
Su Lun's eyes twitched as he heard this.
That trash seems to be talking about himself?
As he listened to those people's popular science, the image of the purple-haired Ekaterina suddenly flashed through his mind, and then he thought of Katyusha.
It's a pretty complicated feeling.
But those people probably guessed wrong. Yekaterina chose "Fick" not just because he was the second son of the Raigadi family.
More importantly, he is Su Lun!
Thinking that it was just a transaction anyway, Su Lun didn't pay attention to these gossips.
He thought of some other things and pondered in his mind: "Tsk, tsk, young genius? I'm afraid it's not a young man, but an old immortal wearing the skin of a young man."
There are many geniuses in the world, but they are not easy to find.
At least the young Master Augustus in front of him has a big problem.
Su Lun thought of something, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought: "The fluctuation of his soul should be due to the long-term use of the vampire ring, which is why he is so mixed and cold. What is this old guy going to do to solidify his appearance and stay youthful forever?
