Ekaterina had dinner at Pierre's house, and when she walked out of the apartment, night had fallen.
The dim gas lamps on the street have been lit, and the shadows of pedestrians are long.
As soon as she walked out of the door, a bright black car drove up around the corner.
After walking over, the driver wearing white gloves got out of the car and respectfully opened the door for her.
Before getting in the car, Ekaterina glanced back at the inconspicuous house, and the strange color in her eyes disappeared.
She originally came with high expectations, but when she got a result that was higher than her expectations, she felt extremely calm.
After all, my mood is different.
The Lance family has always wanted to get the support of this old man. Once they get his approval, most of the obstacles in Lu Ying's political situation can be cleared.
After the Wuyue Coup, the imperial power declined. After the Queen's restoration, although the Bona royal family was still in power, the Luying political situation was obviously at a critical juncture. Especially after the Theocratic Belief Act, anyone with a discerning eye could see the internal affairs of the Luying royal family.
Something went terribly wrong.
Not only the Marfa Empire, but also various forces within Lu Ying are ready to move, and there will be big changes in the future.
It's not just the Lance family, all forces in Lu Ying are trying to win the support of this old man.
But a person at that level can no longer be moved by any interests. In his eyes, he only has his own beliefs.
Even though the Lance family had a good relationship with the old man, they tried to visit him several times but received no response.
But why did it suddenly change?
Yekaterina thought about today's conversation and didn't really understand it.
But this teacher at the end of her life did give her too many pointers.
All the dilemmas suddenly became clear.
She didn't look any further, turned around and got in the car.
Two days later, in the rental house in Franklin District.
The light of the alchemy array has completely dimmed, and the various materials used to draw the array have lost their original colors and turned into a dead gray.
In the formation, Su Lun was meditating with his eyes closed.
At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of energy.
Uncle Crow, who was dozing by the window, also opened his eyes, tilted his head and looked at Su Lun. He seemed to have noticed something different, and he called out.
Su Lun smiled and responded: "Yes, the advancement was successful."
He stood up, shook his hands and feet, and put on a set of clothes.
Finally reached the sixth level.
This feeling is great!
For Su Lun, this was a big threshold for other professionals, and it was almost a matter of course, and he passed it without any difficulty.
He has harvested too much knowledge of various sixth-level laws and has enough understanding of levels.
The most important thing is that after understanding the domineering power, the control over everything makes it easy for him to grasp the advanced insights.
The only uncertain factor in the advancement is the fusion material.
[Lilith's Vampire Ring] is of a very high level and has very strong curse properties. Even though Su Lun was suppressed by the blood of the fallen angel, the fusion process clearly made him feel the crazy bloodthirsty desire.
He also somewhat understood why Augustus desperately sought blood food before, exposing himself to such a big disaster. Because that kind of abnormal feeling could not be suppressed by willpower.
But fortunately everything went well.
Looking at his attribute panel with the Eye of Omniscient, Su Lun also had a joyful expression on his face.
All data such as strength, toughness, vitality, spiritual appearance, nerve reaction speed, etc. have been improved by 30 to 40% in almost all aspects. This improvement will also be further improved as his subsequent ranks are stabilized.
Moreover, there is an additional pseudo-talent skill [Blood Devour] that comes with material advancement.
The essence of this ability is that alchemy grafts part of the vampire's blood-sucking ability onto the professional.
Although the overall blood-sucking ability is weakened compared to that of the vampires, when the ancient great alchemist refined this ring, he not only used the [finger bones of the ancestors of the vampires], but also used a mythical material [the digestive mucosa of the Hell Fire Lizard]
].
This kind of configuration is very clever, making the ring more suitable for professionals to gain stronger physical growth capabilities after advancing.
This is another great late-stage ability.
Su Lun felt very satisfied.
As the absorption slowly accumulates, the physical body will become stronger and stronger.
Thinking of something, he took out a cultivated Titan octopus from the storage space.
As soon as the spell was condensed, the red six-pointed star alchemical array in the palm lit up, and a whirlpool black hole immediately appeared.
A huge suction force hit, and before the seven- to eight-meter large octopus could struggle, it was directly digested into energy fragments by alchemy and then integrated into the body.
The whole process lasted for about half a minute, and only some dried octopus tissue powder was left on the ground.
After devouring it, Su Lun clearly felt a sense of satiety in his body.
I looked at the attribute panel and found that after absorbing an octopus, attributes such as strength and toughness increased by about 1 point. This is just a temporary gain. In the end, there may only be about 1% of the attributes permanently increased in the physical body.
Although it was a little less, Su Lun was very satisfied.
A little adds up to a lot.
In the future, you can specifically purchase and hunt some high-level monsters and devour them by the giant monsters of the deep sea. There is a lot of hope.
After personally testing the new ability, he was very satisfied with the effect. Su Lun looked at his hands again, chuckled and said to himself: "The Void spell is quite suitable for this [Blood Devour]."
Low-level vampires can only bite the target with their teeth to suck blood.
That method is too inefficient.
Just now, Su Lun directly used the void spell to form a suction black hole, and then used alchemy to separate the target energy, control it within a certain space, and then absorb it.
A set of three consecutive compound spells combined together became the new skill of [Void Blood Devouring], which is extremely efficient.
Otherwise, he can only insert his hand into the octopus to absorb it.
This is not because Su Lun himself is so awesome and can master this new ability so skillfully as soon as he advances.
Instead he took a shortcut.
Except for the void spell, which was added by himself, the others were all derived from hundreds of years of experience stripped from the soul of the old monster Augustna.
That guy has relied on this ring to absorb it for hundreds of years, and his devouring ability has become extremely proficient.
Su Lun was directly stripped away, saving the skill break-in period.
Otherwise, if he really has to figure out how to absorb this octopus on his own, it will take him more than ten or twenty minutes the first time, and the absorption rate is still low.
After all, it is a very complex process to remove impurities, screen available energy, efficiently absorb, transfer energy, etc.
Su Lun tried the new ability, then started meditating with his eyes closed again, and experienced the feeling of advancing to the sixth level.
Although I have harvested enough sixth-level knowledge, once I advance, there are still many aspects that are different from what I thought before.
After all, extraordinary power is very mysterious, and you cannot understand certain levels of things until you reach a certain level.
It's like the hormonal agitation in adolescence. The body is not old yet, even if it sees a peerless beauty, it cannot get agitated.
This meditation lasted only half a day.
Suddenly, when Su Lun's will was counting what materials he had in the small void world that could be used at the sixth level, he discovered a huge red crystal [Thousand People's Blood Refined Crystal Core] in the corner.
This was the loot I gained when I came to Luying before and broke up the conspiracy of those from the Giant Monastery to stain the entire cruise ship with blood.
This thing is of no use to Su Lun, so it has been gathering dust in the warehouse.
But now, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
"Since [Blood Devour] can swallow all life essence, can this crystal core absorb it?"
This idea came to Su Lun's mind, and he immediately became active.
This thing contains powerful life essence, which can theoretically be absorbed.
But this thing is originally used by evil gods. In addition to the life essence, it also contains a lot of negative spiritual power, dangerous energy, and divinity.
If ordinary professionals dare to absorb it, the probability of going crazy and becoming deformed is extremely high.
A few days ago, Su Lun didn't dare to pay attention to this thing.
But after absorbing Augustus, he felt it was feasible.
That guy has been immersed in the devouring ability for more than a hundred years. He has already studied the related techniques of "turning alien energy into his own use" very thoroughly. He has perfect methods for dealing with various negative energies and resolving the sequelae.
The first time Su Lun saw the crystal core, he had already thought of various ways to deal with it.
Just like pufferfish, once the toxins are processed, it will be very delicious.
After a while, Su Lun made a judgment that he could absorb it!
In the room, he took out the huge red crystal and knocked off a small piece of about one percent.
As soon as the technique was condensed, the red crystal in the palm of the hand was quickly absorbed.
After stripping away those negative energies, they were absorbed smoothly.
Su Lun looked at the data increase on the attribute panel, his eyes widened for a moment, and he exclaimed in his heart: "Such a small piece of crystal can increase the physical body a hundred times as much as that of the octopus just now?"
He was really shocked.
If you really have to absorb the entire blood crystal, you can estimate that your physical strength will directly increase by 10%!
What kind of horror concept is this?
He has just entered the sixth level and has only achieved an increase of 30 to 40%. Is this 10%?
No wonder the evil god likes to play this set, it is simply a super shortcut to gain power!
With such means, who would still practice honestly?
As long as he has enough blood essence, Su Lun feels that he can have the physical strength of a top professional in a short time.
Countless thoughts flashed away.
He suppressed some of the crazy thoughts in his heart and laughed at himself with a strange expression: "The methods of these external gods are really very tempting. It is not easy to keep the Taoist heart."
Just when Su Lun was concentrating on advancing to the sixth level.
In the small void world, Emilia was extremely confused.
She has been in this closed medical room for three days, and her illness caused by excessive blood loss has long been cured.
This seems to be a hospital?
It doesn't seem like it is.
Emilia knew that she had been rescued, so she waited patiently in the house.
Waiting for the person who saved her to let her out.
Just because she was bored, she started daily training, fighting, strength, and physical fitness
Then, during this practice, she discovered a big problem!
Emilia discovered that her body had "changed".
Strength has increased several times, skin toughness, recovery ability, nerve responses and various physical conditions have increased several times!
This didn't scare her.
Are you deformed?
Although there was no mirror in the room, Emilia still touched her whole body and found no abnormal organs.
But this is strange.
The level is still second level, but why is there such a big change?
Could it be that he was used by some biological laboratories for some secret experiments? The person who saved him had evil intentions?
Eh, that's not right.
Emilia remembered vaguely, as if the client had saved her?
However, just when she was about to find an opportunity to forcefully break open the room and get out, a space passage suddenly appeared in the room.
Su Lun opened a space passage in the room. He looked at Amelia in the ward who still didn't understand the situation, and said hello: "Come out."
The girls who were rescued before were all sent out. Because they knew that Amelia was the assistant of the old cowboy, and the old cowboy's whereabouts were unknown, they kept her here.
But in order to prevent outsiders from knowing too many secrets of the small void world, Su Lun had her placed in this independent room.
However, Su Lun has been advancing in the past two days and really forgot about her.
Now that the advancement is complete, I just thought of getting people out.
Emilia looked confused. After listening to the reminder, she stepped out of the space passage in the ward and appeared in the rental house.
What an advanced space technique!
She sighed in her heart, then turned to look at the man in front of her who saved her life twice. After all, she was filled with gratitude, and the little resentment was hidden in her heart.
As soon as she came out, Emilia's occupational disease recurred. She was eager to know what happened during this period, so she asked: "Sir, you saved me? What happened?"
Su Lun didn't want to waste any time and took out the newspaper from the past few days, "There are detailed reports in it. You can read it yourself."
Amelia took the stack of newspapers and read them carefully.
When she saw it, she was immediately shocked.
The newspapers these days have reported in great detail what happened on Parrot Street.
Looking at the horrifying scene photo in the "Vampire Scandal", wasn't I among the hundreds of girls with sarcoma?
Only then did Emilia understand what happened after she was caught by a high-level gangster while investigating the disappearance of a girl.
It turned out that it almost became blood food for vampires.
Hey, the title of this report?
Is this guy in front of me the famous "God of Death"?
Emilia glanced at the man opposite her from the corner of her eye and swallowed her saliva unconsciously. Only then did she realize why her teacher said that the guy in front of her was very powerful.
It turned out to be that one.
No wonder.
After reading several reports, she already had a general understanding of the entire incident.
However, when she saw the report about "S-class wanted criminal Jerome Offfast", her eyes widened instantly.
Even in the form of the Demon King, she recognized her teacher at a glance.
Emilia didn't care about anything else and asked quickly: "Teacher?"
Su Lun explained: "In the previous battle on Parrot Street, your teacher went to save you and happened to run into me. Then I encountered an interception and he helped me stop the legendary hunter Elmo. Then there was your incident in the newspaper.
.I don’t know where he is now. But he probably hasn’t been caught.”
Emilia also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she had not been caught.
At this time, she thought of her physical changes and asked: "Sir, I found that my body has changed a lot now. It seems that there is an unknown deformation?"
When Su Lun heard this question, a hint of weirdness appeared on his face.
This kind of distortion is something that others can only dream of.
He did not answer directly, but asked first: "What is your talent?"
"Ah, talent?"
Hearing this, a strange look flashed across Emilia's eyes, and she didn't understand why he suddenly asked this.
But thinking that he had nothing to hide from the benefactor who had saved him twice, he said, "I don't know either. But my teacher said that I might have a very rare talent."
Su Lun listened with no expression on his face, obviously he had already guessed something.
Emilia then said in an uncertain tone: "It seems to be [a-028-Angel of Justice]. But the teacher said that I haven't fully awakened yet."
When Su Lun heard this, he raised his eyebrows and murmured: "No wonder."
Emilia is a second-level profession, and she was also one of August's key targets for healing by taking alcohol.
She was depleted too much of her essence and blood, and when Su Lun rescued her, she was already on the verge of death.
Her condition at that time was considered a bit difficult even by Dr. Banks. Even if she was rescued, her body would have irreparable sequelae.
However, during the treatment process, something unexpected happened.
Dr. Banks discovered something abnormal about Emilia's body. After careful study, he discovered that her genetic sequence was highly overlapped with the bloodline of the fallen angel!
After discussing with Su Lun, Dr. Banks injected her with an [X serum].
Then there is the situation where her body has improved significantly.
This is a situation that makes Su Lun envious.
At the time, he remembered that he had injected a serum. Not only was there a possibility of sudden death, but his skin also turned blue for a long time. This was because it was some rejection reaction of the serum transforming the blood.
But now Emilia's skin has not turned blue at all. In other words, her compatibility with the X serum is extremely high!
Therefore, the body growth rate will be very exaggerated.
After Su Lun heard that her talent was [Angel of Justice], it was not surprising.
Her overwhelming sense of justice is not only a matter of thought, but also related to talent.
Although this is an A-level talent, it is indeed very, very rare.
It was not fully awakened before, but now that this potion is used, not only the talent is fully awakened, but the bloodline is also perfectly transformed.
The future potential is very great.
And now, Su Lun has also discovered that this pair of master and apprentice did not get together by chance.
But there is some special connection.
He had asked Mr. Hei about the photo in the newspaper before.
Mr. Hei speculated that the old cowboy's talent was the second level [a-029-Hell Messenger]. Because of this talent, he could communicate with the devil of hell.
An angel and a demon, this combination is quite outrageous.
"You were too seriously injured before, so my doctor partner injected you with a bloodline-modifying potion. But the source of the bloodline potion is very special. It's best if you don't tell anyone else except your teacher, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble. trouble."
Su Lun didn't want to say more about the X serum, so he simply explained it.
"oh."
After hearing this explanation, Emilia breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
It’s okay if it’s not a distortion.
Another flash of embarrassment flashed across her face and she asked: "Ah, sir, how much do I need to pay for this potion?"
In the eyes of alchemists, everything has value.
Although she didn't know what medicine she was injecting, the growth rate for a second-level professional was so exaggerated, she knew it must be very precious.
Su Lun shook his head and did not talk about the money. He said: "There is no need for payment. Your teacher also saved me."
Saving people must be because he thinks this woman is worth saving.
In addition, it should be regarded as a reward for Lao Niuzhai's help.
Listening to the fact that Amelia still didn't know how to call herself, he said his name again, "My name is Su Lun."
Emilia also knew that the other party saved her for the sake of her teacher, so she didn't say anything more.
What's more, I am already very poor.
She felt that she could not afford the high price, so she could only bow and bow quickly, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Su Lun, for saving your life."
""
Su Lun also noticed that Amelia seemed to be in a hurry to leave, probably because she knew where to find the old cowboy.
She didn't elaborate, and Su Lun didn't mean to stay any longer.
But looking at the hospital gown on her body, Su Lun took out some clothes, necessary self-defense firearms, and a communicator from the storage space, and said: "Your teacher has used the power of gods, and the situation may be very serious.
Oops. If you need my help, just contact me. And don’t be so reckless in the future."
Amelia listened carefully and nodded: "Yes."
Su Lun sent Amelia away, and he did not stay in the rental house.
A hiding place that is known to a second person is no longer safe.
What's more, he has advanced to the sixth level now, and it's time to go out for a walk.
Ride your beloved motorcycle and stroll around the city.
After not going out for a few days, Su Lun first asked Sabina how she was doing in Linton.
There's nothing particularly noteworthy.
The aftermath of August's murder was indeed quite violent, but it had little impact on the people at the bottom. It was the nobles and gentlemen in the upper class of Lu Ying who used the turmoil to fight for power.
Several threatening enemies are busy with their own affairs now.
The Rodriguez family has been involved in many old disputes due to the "Vampire Scandal", and there are obvious signs that everyone is pushing back the wall. The family ancestor was killed, but they are looking for the "Reaper" again, and the reward from the Bounty Hunters Guild has also been suspended.
The level was very high. But after the Parrot Street incident, people with some intelligence also saw that the situation was very deep, so much so that the Military Intelligence Office and the Police Department did not take any practical action;
And Young Master William didn't hear any news. The plot against Su Lun was definitely not in the current interests of the Raigadi family, so he probably acted privately. If it failed, he naturally hid it.
Justice Raphael is busy promoting the new armament bill in parliament, and his momentum is very strong, and he has the momentum of the "first warlord". He calculated Su Lun purely for profit. Although the Lance family was not involved,
The chaos in the Rodriguez family is enough for him to reap a lot of benefits. The usefulness of the tool man is gone, and there is no intention to continue to target him.
The only news that surprised Su Lun was that the Lance family also suddenly participated in the [Scarlet Potion] shares, and then spent a lot of money to hoard a large number of potions.
Su Lun knew that the threat from the "Hermitage of Giants" was imminent, so Yekaterina probably had no choice but to do this.
Since I can't hold it back, I simply stock up on medicines myself to prevent them from flowing into the market.
The resources of the Lance family are enough to stop a large number of pharmaceuticals from going on the market.
But this is not a long-term solution.
Because on the other hand, the situation of the Red Death was getting worse and worse, and more and more civilians were infected.
At the same time, Su Lun was also a little surprised that the Red Death had caused such a big fuss in Rington, but there was no movement at all from the royal family?
Even if they are not sure about the conspiracy of the alien gods, even if it is a common infectious disease, for the sake of the safety of the people, the royal family should intervene to control it, right?
But unfortunately, the Queen did nothing.
Just let the big nobles hoard medicine, let diseases wreak havoc on the bottom, and make huge profits.
Su Lun felt that the royal family had a very big problem.
The giant monastery member hidden among the royal family is the big problem.
But the feedback from the Lance family is that it has been confirmed that the Queen is not a follower of the evil god.
This made Su Lun a little confused.
Moreover, each major family has its own intelligence network. After the cruise ship incident, how could they be completely unaware of the Giant Monastery?
But they all remained silent with a tacit understanding.
It seems that he is gathering strength for a certain turmoil that will inevitably break out in the future.
The entire Linton is currently in a strange and delicate balance.
Su Lun couldn't participate in the decisions of those great nobles, and he didn't intend to dwell on what was wrong.
But after he peeled away August's memory, he discovered that the source of the "Red Death" pointed directly at the "curator".
The one responsible for the spread of the Red Death, and the Rodriguez family is responsible for the [Scarlet Potion].
Now that Su Lun has advanced to the sixth level, he has also put the plan to ambush the "curator" on the agenda.
And he also received good news, that is, Mr. Jing was about to arrive in Linton.
Su Lun planned to wait for his senior sister to arrive before taking action, then everything would be safe.
As for the identity of the "Shadow Lord", Sabina also had a rough guess.
After all, the incident last time caused such a big fuss. Looking at the entire Lu Ying, there are not many people who can suppress it.
Although he is not sure it must be someone, there will be a full moon dance in a few days, and Su Lun plans to go and thank him in person.
Before that, Su Lun planned to go to the Royal Bank of London to take out the treasures stored by August.
------Digression-----
Thanks to 'Graduate of Kindergarten' for the 100,000 coin tip. Thank you very much, I'm flattered. I'll try my best to write it down in the next two days if I want to update it. I'm in a bad mood and almost stopped looking at the backstage. When I saw the fan list going up, I realized what the hell.
