Chapter 481 If I don't take power, what's the use of Lu Ying?
Dawn's masters came to support, and there were more than ten people on the block instantly.
Su Lun also had no chance to fight Oscar, the "Frost Knight", one-on-one to gain insights, and the duel instantly turned into a big brawl.
As soon as he lifted the surgeon's seal, more than a dozen terrifying wax figures appeared around him and rushed into the battlefield.
Not only Chijou, but also Mr. Black, Barrett, Red Devil Kai, Kit, and almost all the old members of the old London Time Mirror organization came.
The golden patterns on the cloak shine particularly brightly in the night.
Then there are the blood descendants of Mr. Mirror, "Blood Duke" Moore Wordsworth, leading a group of vampires, turning into giant bats all over the sky and sweeping in crazily.
In an instant, the huge lighthouse neighborhood became one.
The melee between sixth- and seventh-level professionals was extremely exaggerated. All kinds of high-level warlocks bombarded the sky like elemental fireworks. The sky collapsed. Buildings collapsed in pieces, and the ground was cracked.
Because it was a well-prepared ambush, even those deformed believers of the outer gods who were not afraid of life and death, people like Su Lun had an absolute advantage in combat power.
The battle lasted for less than half an hour and then subsided, and all six aberrations were killed.
However, what makes Su Lun feel very regretful is that except for "Frost Knight" Oscar, whose soul is still intact, the others are all severely deformed monsters, with their souls severely mutilated, and only some incomplete fragments of the law have been peeled off. The six monsters added up,
Even worse than a monster monk.
The only good news is that these top-level aberrations have more evil parasite life essence in their bodies.
But the body decomposed quickly, and Su Lun had already "sucked it out" before, so he thought it would be a waste.
Unexpectedly, after communicating with Wordsworth, an old vampire who lived for seven hundred years, he actually discovered that the vampires had also figured out some very special blood-sucking experiences over the long years.
Su Lun also mastered a secret method that can absorb life essence beyond the body's endurance.
Due to physical problems, the vampires can directly absorb the blood of almost any living creature (eating fish without spitting out the bones). However, this kind of blood is polluted by divine laws, and there is a risk of distortion if inhaled.
Su Lun then exchanged August's experience in stripping blood-sucking impurities, and both parties gained something.
The battle in Beicheng is a fierce battle between Lu Ying's top dignitaries. In addition to destroying monsters, they are also fighting for power.
Dawn is a neutral organization and has no interest in participating in the war.
People like Su Lun didn't run around, they just wandered around several large factories near the lighthouse area, cleaning up all kinds of aberrant monsters.
Waiting, maybe those evil gods will send experts to attack and kill them.
If I can restrain him a little, it would be helpful.
A group of people dispersed and searched for aberrations in various factory areas to clean up.
Their power is in Nancheng. It can be said that as long as there are no eighth-level professionals, it will basically be fine.
Even high-level aberrations can be killed by working together in twos and threes.
Su Lun and Qian Jiao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, teamed up to clean up the monsters.
As the two walked along, the streets were littered with corpses.
The swordsman profession is indeed one of the most powerful killing professions. Qianjiao can kill these aberrant monsters several times faster than Su Lun.
The movement of the two people passing by attracted a group of monsters. Before Su Lun could take action, she swung her knife and chopped all the monsters into two pieces like a melon or a vegetable.
Every time she kills a monster, the shadow of the Rakshasa behind her becomes more solid, and her murderous intent becomes more intense.
After a while, the monsters that cleared the dormitory building also stopped for a while.
Su Lun watched Qian Tiao take a rest and then chatted: "Sister Qian Tiao, have you reached the sixth level?"
During the battle just now, he could see that Qian Jiao was much stronger than when they were separated. But they had not seen each other for less than two months. He was still at the fifth level before, and now he has advanced to the sixth level. I have even understood the field. During this time, not only have I made further progress, but my partners have also become very good.
Qianjiao sheathed the sword, glanced at Su Lun, and responded: "Yes. I went to Senodia Province before, and Mr. Wordsworth happened to have collected a piece of thunder material that is very suitable for me. I will try After fusion, you will advance."
Their eyes met, probably because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and there was a touch of closeness in their eyes as if they were reunited after a long absence.
This gambling-addicted young woman didn't shy away from her at all. As usual, she hooked her arm around Su Lun's shoulder and walked forward as brothers.
At this time, she seemed to have seen the black light crown on Su Lun's head, and she asked curiously: "Hey, is this crown of yours a cursed object? It looks good."
After saying that, she joked again: "Well, it goes well with your 'Prince Fick' temperament."
Su Lun raised his eyebrows, ignored her teasing, and simply explained: "This is Lei Jiadi's inheritance crown. It is used to assist in understanding the field. It has a good effect. I felt that I caught it during the previous battle and gained a little insight. , seems to have touched a certain threshold.”
Having said this, he thought of something and asked: "By the way, Sister Qianjo, how did you realize your own field?"
When Senjo heard this, he showed an expression of incomprehension: "Ah, is there any threshold for this 'field' thing?"
She pondered for a moment and then added: "Isn't it something you can master after you advance to the sixth level and stabilize your realm a little?"
Su Lun looked at her "it's all about having hands" expression, rolled his eyes, and said quietly: "Do you think everyone is like you, and you have entered the Sword Saint realm at the fifth level?"
The relationship between the two was very familiar, so he didn't know that Senjo was not in Versailles.
It's just a simple thing, I just think it's very simple.
Senjou's dedication to the way of the sword and her flawless swordsmanship allowed her to comprehend her "Thundering Sword Intention" at the fifth level and enter the realm of the Sword Master. This is also the reason why she comprehended the realm so smoothly.
And there is another reason, and that is her talent of [Rakshasa Girl] of the Three Realms that no one has ever seen before.
After research, Mr. Jing commented that this talent could even give Senjou a high probability of ignoring the eighth-level threshold.
Senjo looked at Su Lun's serious look and realized that he was asking sincerely.
She then thought seriously for a moment and replied: "On the way to Lingdun, I killed a seventh-level sea monster and understood it immediately. I remember the feeling at that time, probably that I had glimpsed something that was originally hidden in the world. The power of special rules?”
I don't know how serious it is.
Su Lun showed a helpless expression as he listened.
Field is the professional's own perception of the world and his or her profession. Everyone's perception is different, and it is indeed impossible to explain clearly.
What's more, this reckless woman Qianjou has only vaguely understood it herself, so how can she explain it clearly to others?
Sure enough, after explaining a few sentences, he was speechless. Qian Jiao shouted impatiently: "Oh, I can't explain the feeling. Anyway, I think if you fight more, you will definitely understand it."
Su Lun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Obviously, this gambling-addicted young woman is more interested in other issues than this.
Qian Tiao hooked Su Lun's neck, the fire of gossip was blazing, and the topic jumped quickly: "Oh, I have read all the newspapers these days. Su Lun, you married a very beautiful noble lady. It feels like How about it?"
Su Lun rolled his eyes and corrected: "That's Fick, not me. It's just a collaboration, you know."
"Ah!"
Qian Jiao's face was full of jest, obviously he didn't believe it.
She naturally knew that the marriage was cooperation, but she was more curious about the hidden story, and added: "The newspaper said that you and the noble lady have not been out of the house for several days at the Rose Manor. Wow, the little princess of the Lance family has such an experience. Is it that great?”
As he said this, he raised his eyebrows ambiguously, which was very suggestive.
The reason he stayed a few more days was because he wanted to plot against Young Master William and the demon monk. Su Lun didn't tell anyone about this.
He looked at the flames of gossip burning in Senjou's eyes, and wanted to explain. But as soon as the thought flashed through his mind, he gave up the idea. Instead, he pretended to be frivolous and said: "My evaluation is not as good as Sister Senjou."
"???"
Chijou looked obviously startled when he heard this, and it took him a moment to understand what he said.
Looking at Su Lun again, she said with a faint look: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, you brat, you really deserve a beating."
Listening to the "threatening" tone, Su Lun didn't care at all and laughed.
Qian Jiao was not polite, locked his neck, and punched him in the head.
There was a "thud" sound, and Su Lun felt pain and made an ouch.
The two of them were cleaning up zombies on the street, occasionally bickering, and it was quite fun.
The fighting power of Li Ming's group is extraordinary, and they can clear out the aberrant monsters in the lighthouse neighborhood very quickly.
They almost killed everyone before the zombie wave infected everyone.
Originally, Su Lun and the others had already made preparations. To kill monsters on such a large scale, the people from the Giant Monastery would definitely take action.
But I never thought that during these few hours of killing monsters, except for the initial group of "Frost Knight" Oscar, there would be no more masters coming later.
This made Su Lun feel a little confused.
But the communicator was always reporting on the battle situation in various parts of Rington City.
Although the zombie infection in the civilian areas of Nancheng is very serious, the actual decisive victory lies with the top nobles in the North City.
The three great congressmen, Raphael, Lance, and Roberts, had stocked up heavily in advance. There were airships in the sky and warships coming from the sea.
Several large families that supported the Outer God Sect were defeated and retreated.
The situation is excellent.
But despite the smooth sailing of the battle, the turning point came very suddenly.
Just when everyone thought that it was because [Scarlet Potion] was not released on a large scale and the alien gods arrived early due to insufficient preparations that the organization could not afford to resist, a shocking news came.
In the Beacon District, a factory building full of corpses in a Birmingham textile factory.
As soon as Su Lun received the communication of the assembly, he and Qian Jiao rushed over.
Just a moment after the two arrived, Barrett, Wordsworth and others also arrived one after another.
Everyone looked at Mr. Hei's extremely serious expression and knew something was wrong.
Barrett was the first to ask: "Mr. Black, what's wrong?"
Mr. Hei is the chief intelligence officer of Dawn, and almost all intelligence is compiled in his hands. He looked at everyone and said solemnly: "I just got the latest news that Master Pierre has been severely injured."
What!
Upon hearing this, everyone including Su Lun was stunned, and everyone looked shocked.
Master Pierre is a ninth-level professional, can Lu Ying still hit him hard?
Su Lun's eyes flashed solemnly, and he quickly asked: "Then the alien god has arrived?"
After much deliberation, this is the only possibility.
But he didn't want to, Mr. Hei shook his head, "No."
Then he revealed a piece of news that made everyone's expressions suddenly change, "It was Queen Charlotte who ordered two eighth-level palace ministers to assassinate Master Pierre!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this information.
Although they knew that the Bona royal family was behind the current climate of the Giant Monastery, they never imagined that the majestic Queen Lu Ying would let Master Pierre sneak attack on the Empire's Dinghai Needle?
It would be fine to say that the Queen herself is a believer in foreign gods, but Su Lun only confirmed it a few days ago that she is not!
Although the Bona royal family is corrupt, there are many masters in the palace, and it is definitely not something that believers of outside gods can easily infiltrate.
Moreover, the current situation is that a wave of aberrations broke out in Lingdun, with millions of casualties and casualties. No matter how blind you are, you still know that those believers of foreign gods are causing a collapse of Lu Ying's political situation.
If you don't unite to deal with the foreign gods, you will undermine the backbone of your family?
Mr. Hei continued: "The specific information is not clear yet. I received information before that the Queen invited Master Pierre to the Frederick Palace to discuss countermeasures. Then not long after entering, a fierce battle broke out, and Pierre was captured.
Heavy damage was done. This is the latest information from two minutes ago."
Everyone fell into silence when they heard this.
Su Lun's mind was racing with thoughts.
Master Pierre is the main force in dealing with the arrival of the alien god. If something happens to him, it will be a big deal.
It seemed that the whole of Linton was in a lively fight, but everyone knew that the final decision on the outcome of this disaster was the clash of forces between the top alchemists headed by Master Pierre and the outside god of the Giant Monastery.
Su Lun couldn't figure out why the Queen stabbed her in the back, but she knew she couldn't delay.
There's definitely no point in waiting here.
He glanced at everyone and said solemnly: "I plan to go over and have a look."
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood and nodded.
The rest of the people stayed in Nancheng to clean up the monsters. Su Lun had a spatial displacement and appeared several kilometers away.
I asked Mr. Jing through the communicator, and she happened to be watching the battle near Frederick's Palace.
Su Lun sensed the spatial coordinates left on his senior sister's body and teleported in that direction several times. In a few blinks, he had crossed the Locovalen River and arrived near the Royal Bank on Shenghui Avenue in the North City.
After teleporting for the last time, the surrounding scene changed and he appeared in an attic.
Su Lun identified the location and remembered that this was the residence of "Marquis Agnes".
As soon as he teleported over, he saw his senior sister standing in front of the window with a serious expression.
Su Lun asked directly: "Senior sister, what happened?"
Mr. Jing's eyes were complicated and he didn't say much. He motioned for him to look out the window and said, "You can see for yourself."
Su Lun walked to the window and saw the dense crowd of heads.
At this moment, tens of thousands of people gathered in Frederick's Palace Square.
The armors of the noble private soldiers all had the noble crests of their respective families, so Su Lun recognized them at a glance as the "Blue Cross Heavy Cavalry Corps" of the Lance family, the "Black Griffin Lance Corps" of the Roberts family, and
There are ten marquises and private legions of counts.
Then there are the "Golden Lion Army" and the "Dark Judge Army" of the Luying military.
There were even military intelligence officers wearing black windbreakers.
Of course, the most eye-catching and the most numerous are Archduke Raphael’s two legions of “Super Mechanical Warriors” and “Mechanical Warcraft”! They are extremely numerous, and they are a large, black mass.
Archduke Raphael, Archduke Reims, Archduke Roberts, and three congressmen were all present.
In fact, almost all the top professionals in Linton are here.
Su Lun was even more confused when he saw this scene.
I didn't see any of the Outer Gods, they were all from the opposition, so the battle was obviously going well.
But why would someone plot against Master Pierre?
At this moment, less than half of the sapphire-blue spire buildings of the palace were destroyed. It was obvious that they had just experienced a fierce battle.
And there was a large area of empty space in the square outside the palace, and no one dared to approach it.
A rickety old man covered in blue-gold flames was floating in the air, and he was none other than Master Pierre.
Not far away, there was a corpse lying on the ground with a big hole burned into its chest.
Su Lun did not recognize that the corpse was Quinn Andrew, one of the two eighth-level worshipers of the royal family, the "Poison Sect". This grand master of the poison sorcerer lineage is known as the person with the most thorough research on toxins in the world.
Alchemist!
When Su Lun saw this, he already guessed something. When he looked at the blue-gold flames on Master Pierre's body, he didn't guess anything: "Master Pierre used [Warrior] to forcibly suppress the poison?"
He had seen Master Pierre's state with his own eyes before at the Full Moon Dance. He knew that this old man was at the end of his life and it was difficult to walk. But now that he is releasing his spiritual power like this, it is tantamount to burning his life. Obviously
It was a serious injury.
Su Lun's eyes twitched, and she glanced at Mr. Jing beside her. Her eyes were extremely solemn, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Then look at the other side of the confrontation.
The white-haired old woman wearing a crown, hiding behind the palace's magic defense barrier and surrounded by a group of palace guards, is naturally the current ruler of Luying, Queen Charlotte.
However, what Su Lun was concerned about was not the palace guards, but the fact that there was a bearded middle-aged man with a mechanical skeleton next to the old woman.
"The third commander of the Marfa Navy, Admiral "Steel Behemoth" Burton Crist? Why is this guy here?"
Although Su Lun was not familiar with Marfa's people, he had seen the information about those top figures.
He never expected that Queen Lu Ying would be surrounded by Marfa soldiers, her old enemy.
Moreover, looking at the posture, it seems that the Queen has some kind of cooperation with this Burton?
In the square outside the palace, the two sides did not fight, but the atmosphere of the confrontation looked very bad.
It was at this time that Su Lun came and was listening to the conversation between the two parties.
Queen Charlotte asked righteously and sternly: "Pierre, do you remember your status as a royal servant? Do you still remember that you were favored by the royal family to advance to the ninth level? I didn't expect that you would betray the royal family! You rebelled against the party and the government before.
You just didn't support the royal family when things changed, but now you actually want to support the rebellion?"
After hearing this, Pierre sighed: "Your Majesty has never forgotten his identity. The duty of the palace ministers is to protect the empire and the continuation of the alchemical civilization. This is the sacred right given to the palace ministers by His Majesty Peter when he established the empire.
.”
Having said this, the old man hesitated for a moment, as if he felt that there was no point in elaborating. He only said: "From the beginning to the end, I never felt that I had done anything wrong."
When Su Lun heard this conversation, he guessed that they were talking about the "Brumpy Moon Coup."
Outsiders don't know what happened, but he heard the inside story from Ekaterina.
Bonaparte IX was weak and incompetent, and it was Charlotte who actually controlled the political power.
This old woman has completely emptied the royal rights of the Bona family, and the royal family exists in name only. She also wants to support her maternal family and completely usurp power. Then there are a series of slutty maneuvers in the process of seizing power, which makes the people's livelihood miserable, and more importantly
It touched the interests of the established nobles.
Then there was the Mechanical Revolution and the Brumaire Coup, and he was directly removed from power.
Later, there was a bizarre restoration.
Now it seems that it must be secretly supported by the Giant Priory.
Moreover, Ekaterina also said that without her teacher opening her mouth, all the Bona royal family would have been sent to the gallows long ago. The fact that the queen can survive to this day is really a credit to this old man.
Queen Charlotte did not appreciate it at all. A cold light flashed in her eyes as she listened, "Huh, it is useless to talk about the past. I have just said that the ancient god of the Giant Monastery is our Luying contracted guardian god.
Since you heard the order, why didn't you retreat? Do you want to rebel?!"
When Su Lun heard this, his expression changed.
At this moment, it dawned on me.
Only then did he understand why the situation was like this and why the royal family allowed the foreign god to collect faith so rampantly.
It turns out to be the "contract god"!
In the Dawn Age, the alchemical civilization swept across many planes, and they used powerful force to sweep across many planes.
Those gods of other civilizations who resisted were killed; those who surrendered signed contracts and became contractual guardian gods.
I thought that the Luying Empire was searching for treasures from all over the world and found a divine contract left over from ancient times.
Only Queen Charlotte dared to do this.
However, this kind of contract was signed under the premise of strength suppression or equality!
The Bona royal family is only at the eighth level, so they actually want to sign such a contract with an alien god?
Not to mention whether this contract is stable or not, or whether it will be backlashed;
What did this old woman think when she signed a contract with this evil god who killed millions of people at every turn?
In the eyes of gods, humans are just ants, low-level creatures that eat blood!
How dare a monkey seek skin from a tiger?
Not only Su Lun couldn't figure it out, but others couldn't figure it out either!
Pierre said earnestly: "Your Majesty, do you know that if this disaster strikes Lingdun, at least millions of people will die. That foreign god uses your people to recover from their injuries and re-concentrate the divine fire. Such an evil god, you
Do you really think He will protect the Empire?"
Hearing this, Queen Charlotte sneered with disdain: "Hahaha, millions of people? So what? It's just population, it will be filled soon. As long as the royal family is still there, Lu Ying will continue to prosper forever.
!”
When Su Lun heard this, his eyes turned cold.
What a vicious guy.
Being questioned in front of tens of thousands of people, the old woman looked unhappy and said sarcastically: "Besides, I don't trust the Ancient God, but do I trust you?"
As she spoke, she glanced at everyone, "Is this how you repay the royal family's trust?"
"Why"
When Pierre heard these words, he sighed repeatedly.
Just by looking at the old man's expression, you can tell that he is heartbroken.
He spoke again and asked three questions in succession.
"Your Majesty, you ordered the evacuation of the defenders of the 'First Island Chain of Northern Defense' three days ago? Do you know that losing that century-old defensive island chain will expose the hinterland of the island to the enemy's attack range, which will
Is the entire empire in danger?"
"There is news that you secretly ceded the 'Seven Cities of Terminus' to the Marfa Empire a month ago, but is it true?"
"Now, under the cover of the Royal Navy, General Marfa appears at Ringtown with heavy troops. What do you think?"
These words are full of lamentation and sorrow and indignation, and they are pale and weak.
The building will collapse, and he will not be able to save himself.
When Pierre asked the question to the end, the nostalgia in his tone had completely dissipated.
He knew that the Queen could not answer, and without waiting for her to respond, the conversation suddenly became cold and he continued: "If the cost of your taking power is the collapse of the empire, even if the veteran of the severance of civilization has to bear the name of injustice, he will
He risked his life to stop it!"
When Su Lun heard this, he was in awe.
He finally understood why he didn't start a fight even though he was seriously injured by a sneak attack, but kept talking for so long.
This is how this master alchemist, who has worked for the empire all his life, is making his final show of gratitude to the royal family.
Being favored by the royal family has finally come to an end.
To cede territory and betray the country is a huge scandal!
When she heard that the scandalous thing she had done was told in public, Queen Charlotte's face turned livid, and turned into endless anger.
She no longer concealed it, her eyes showed a vicious light, and her ambition was unconcealed: "Hahaha, how ridiculous! How qualified are you to question the decision of the royal family as a worshipper? The Luying Empire was established by my ancestors of the Bona royal family. If it were not the royal family
If I am in power, what is the use of this empire? What is the use of you? If I don’t take power, even if everyone dies, what does it have to do with me!”
These words clearly demonstrate the selfishness, greed and ignorance of human nature.
After a pause, the old woman shouted loudly: "Now let me ask you one last question, do you want to retreat? If you don't, it will be like a rebellion and you will be killed without mercy!"
When Pierre heard this, his tone no longer wavered.
The gentleness in his turbid eyes dissipated and gradually became as sharp as a gleam.
"Maybe one day the empire will collapse, maybe one day the alchemical civilization will lose its glory and be submerged in the dust of history. But not today!"
When he said this, the old man who had come to the end of his life spoke extremely calmly.
But every word is sonorous and has a ring to the earth.
