In fact, sometimes the crisis is too big to bear, which makes people feel less oppressive.
Su Lun would rather be a pirate than a prince with his idle temperament, and the sense of danger from the plane invasion is not even as big as an enemy like one of the "Top Ten Legendary Hunters".
The same is true for Qianjo.
This gambling-addicted young woman only had eyes for swordsmanship. After hearing the information, the only change in her was that the restrained sword intent in her eyes became sharper.
Su Lun sorted out the information and told Mr. Jing through the communicator.
My senior sister is the person who carries the banner of the plane war, so let’s give her a headache with that information.
An accident that could not be considered a major battle brought a little disruption to everyone in the Dawn Regiment, and everyone returned to their normal sailing routine.
Su Lun and Senjo had a rare moment of leisure, so they sat on the mast of the sailboat, poured some sake brought from Yamagakure, and started drinking.
The sea breeze blew across my face, and the afterglow of the setting sun illuminated a fiery red glow on the sea.
The sea breeze also has a light flavor of freedom and leisure.
But, let’s talk about it.
While drinking and chatting with Qian Jiao, Su Lun was also reviewing the previous battle in his mind.
Killing four seventh-level magicians with his own hands also gave him an accurate concept of the extraordinary system of the alien plane.
Alchemists are a group of people who seek the truth. With the reference of combat power, most of the doubts are instantly dissipated.
Extraordinary power can always be obtained step by step. Except for the illusory divine level, the strong men in the alien plane no longer seem to be savage beasts.
"Legion War"
Su Lun had some war scenes in his mind.
It was a world of pure magic and fighting spirit, without any machinery, not even artillery.
But when a group of ten thousand people fight against each other and tens of thousands of magics are released simultaneously, the power is even more exaggerated than the power of ten thousand cannons.
Moreover, magic is not restricted by the barrel and is flexible and diverse.
What about [Meteor and Fire Rain], [Storm Technique], [Earthquake Technique], [Tsunami Technique].
It's not painful to use it by a single mage, but if it is used by a group of mage, its power can destroy the city and wipe out all life in minutes!
Those below the divine level are all cannon fodder in front of the top legal groups in that plane.
Thinking of this in his mind, Su Lun felt more and more that his "Legion Puppet Flow" had a bright future.
And another piece of great good news is that in the battle just now, he also discovered his own [Gargoyle] Tian Ke Magician.
[Activated Silver] This god-level material has almost perfect resistance to all types of magic. Therefore, although the mage army is powerful, the scene when it really encounters the gargoyle army is not very beautiful.
Moreover, the gargoyle can be engraved with almost any runes, which means that it can have the effect of any rune puppet.
I really want to have thousands or tens of thousands of gargoyles by then.
Corporation?
The scene where a group of gargoyles physically attack the corporation makes people look forward to it just thinking about it.
As soon as Su Lun thought of this, he frowned: "But, where can I find so much [Activated Silver]?"
His gargoyle was collected by Barrett at the God Burial Ground before. There may be more silver mines underground there. But it is too dangerous and it is impossible to consider it now.
"I wonder if the Marfa Empire, which has developed mining industries, will have any clues."
Su Lun thought of something and could only hope to gain something from this trip to Marfa.
A few days later, the Liming Regiment had sailed to the edge area marked on Lu Ying's official chart.
"Nugget Island" is located in this deserted sea.
Legend has it that this sea area is often haunted by giant monsters of the deep and has a harsh and changeable climate.
On weekdays, no merchant ships would pass by at all. Even if there were adventure ships and fishing boats that were blown away by the storm, none of them came back alive.
Over time, even pirate ships will avoid such dangerous sea areas.
There are countless such dangerous areas in the West China Sea, and no one cares about them.
Su Lun now knows that there is a secret base here, and it is not difficult to guess that the news is a protective rumor deliberately created by Archduke Raphael.
We were already close to our destination, and Su Lun didn't stay in the captain's cabin to practice.
He stood on the bow of the ship holding a rune black umbrella, always paying attention to everything nearby.
The black crows shared the view in the sky and could already see the huge island more than twenty nautical miles away.
That is "Nugget Island".
The island is lush and green and looks no different from an ordinary desert island.
The Evernight deliberately made a large circle and approached the west side of the island, avoiding Rafael's intensive defense area on the east side of the island.
At this moment, Tani suddenly jumped down from the mast and reported: "Mr. Su Lun, the fish said that there are some strange guys in the sea over there. They should be mechanical creatures. If we get closer,
It might be discovered."
When Su Lun heard this, he nodded thoughtfully: "Yes."
Little does he know that the island seems to be undefended, but those mechanical creatures hidden in the sea are the best detectors.
If a strange human approaches, not only will it be discovered by the people on the island, but it may also be sunk.
Fortunately, Tani has the ability to "listen to the sounds of sea beasts", otherwise no one would be able to approach Nugget Island quietly.
But Su Lun also looked at Tani, the first navigator of the dawn, who had advanced to the third level in just a few months.
After the plane channel is connected, the laws of heaven and earth are gradually perfected, and career promotion becomes easier and easier. Especially in the field of low-level professionals, there was no threshold for the first, second and third levels. Now it is as easy as drinking water, as long as the spiritual power is overflowing
, almost all can advance smoothly.
Tani also became more and more proficient in using his talents after his promotion.
When Su Lun saw this, he didn't waste much time and greeted everyone on the boat: "Brothers, those who are going to rob are ready to trigger."
"Haha, the wait is finally here."
"."
With this voice, everyone in the Dawn Group, who had been prepared for a long time, started shouting excitedly.
Qian Jiao also walked over, looking like he was sharpening his sword, "Do you want to go directly to the island?"
"No, let's sneak in first."
Su Lun shook his head.
Although forced landing was not a big problem for the current Dawn Regiment, he looked at the islands in the distance and chose the safest method. "I discovered it during the battle in Linton before. The Raphael Mechanical Warcraft Legion
An indispensable part is the 'tamer'. If I guessed correctly, the great beast tamer among the top ten legendary hunters who has disappeared from public view for a long time should also be on the island. I really want it
You guessed it. If we fight, even the eighth-level professionals will not be able to take him down in a short period of time. And if he is discovered in advance, there may be other changes in the laboratory in the base. We are going to rob property this time, there is no need to confront him head-on.
.”
Senjo shrugged and said, "Okay!"
She wasn't good at using her brain, and with Su Lun here, she didn't want to put any thought into it.
Everyone entered Su Lun's small void world, and Su Lun took out the [Shroud of the Iceman of Oz] and wrapped it around himself. While it was transparent, the aura had completely disappeared.
And it was when the Dawn Group approached Nugget Island, underground on the island, in the secret mechanical research institute.
A technician in a white coat was mysteriously communicating with a guard.
"This is the design drawing of the A3 part of the Mechanical Warcraft. You can take advantage of the next supply and send it back to the empire as soon as possible. Also, ask the military department to arrange for another group of people to be sent over. If there are enough people, I will be confident of arming myself.
Seize control of this secret research institute. Those equipment and scientific research talents are very important and will save us decades of research and development time. There is absolutely no room for error!"
"Yes, Your Excellency, Colonel!"
"One more thing. Recently, there is a mechanical transformation plan for high-level sea monsters in the research institute. I suspect that there are top professionals on the island. You inform the military department that no matter which intelligence force they are, they must not be allowed to rashly approach the waters near the island!
No one should come to test it, otherwise it will interfere with my plan. Once the mines in Old Lingtown are blocked by the military, it will be difficult to obtain these technologies."
"yes!"
If anyone were here, they would definitely be surprised by the conversation between the two.
No one would have thought that the secret research base that Archduke Raphael guarded so tightly would have already been infiltrated by spies from the Marfa Empire.
Su Lun teleported many times and appeared on Nugget Island.
This is a rainforest climate, with tall trees blocking out the sky and the sun.
There are various animals active in the forest, and it is a vibrant scene. Monkeys jumping on the branches, vipers sitting under the dead leaves, fish swimming in the creek, and deer grazing in the forest.
It seems to be no different from ordinary tropical islands.
But no one saw that a corner of the skin of some animals was scratched by branches, and it shone with a metallic luster in the sun.
Quietly, a transparent figure appeared standing on the dead leaves.
The little lizard passing by seemed to have noticed the subtle movement, sniffed it, but found nothing, and left again.
Su Lun looked around, his soul was fluctuating a lot, and he didn't dare to be careless.
Snakes, insects, rats and ants themselves have extraordinary sensory abilities. Even with deodorant potions, humans exposed to the air will be discovered by animals several kilometers away.
And any small animal on this island may be the trainer's "eyes".
Su Lun found a direction with no soul fluctuations and teleported again.
Looking again, he had appeared in a claustrophobic cave.
Stopping to expand the range of perception, he muttered in his mind: "There is a very powerful soul wave lurking on the island. It seems that this is it."
From the outside, there is nothing unusual about this island.
But according to Su Lun's perception, several magical beasts with at least sixth level soul fluctuations were discovered on this island with a radius of several kilometers.
This is very abnormal.
It is not surprising that there are high-level monsters on the island, but we must also follow the basic supply and demand ecology of the natural food chain.
This island cannot support so many high-level monsters.
This abnormal situation makes it easy to speculate that the only result is that the high-level magical beasts on this island were tamed here.
"In other words, the secret base is underground here."
Su Lun recognized this and confirmed the location.
From the previously stripped information, we only knew that this island was Raphael's research base, but we didn't know exactly how to get in.
Rafael's base combatants and scientific researchers are always completely isolated, which has allowed his base to remain undiscovered by outsiders for so many years.
Although Su Lun did not sense the underground space, Su Lun was not surprised.
The only reasonable explanation is that the research base is hidden very deep.
He carefully arranged the isolation formation, and then summoned the wax statue of the earth element.
Just like finding the altar of the Outer God in Lingdun, as the wax figure transformed into elements, Su Lun's whole body also merged into the soil.
He didn't plan to find any entrance, but simply and rudely went underground.
It sank all the way, but fortunately it was not discovered.
When Su Lun had descended more than two thousand meters, he suddenly sensed a huge space appearing underground.
Moreover, there are dense fluctuations of souls in that space.
"found it!"
Su Lun felt happy.
After determining a direction, he teleported again and found himself in a lively mining city.
"It's really an underground mine. And the traces are from hundreds of thousands of years ago."
Su Lun clung to the rock wall and looked at the ancient mining traces.
In other words, the mine is still an ancient relic.
It existed before Archduke Raphael came to mine it.
Seeing this mine, Su Lun also felt a little emotional. Archduke Raphael was really lucky. Not only did he discover Old Rington, but he also discovered the remains of this ancient mine.
This underground space is several hundred meters long, and in the distance is an underground city made almost entirely of steel.
According to Su Lun's perception, there are many humans in the city, estimated to be hundreds of thousands.
With such a dense population of humans, Suellen didn't have to worry about being discovered.
After observing for a while, he tore off the shroud, changed his clothes, and put on a sloppy miner's outfit.
After teleporting again, he appeared in an empty room in a high-rise building in the city.
Su Lun stood by the window, staring at the busy street downstairs.
This city is like a super large "steel mill". There are steel pipes everywhere, and there are many high-rise buildings with ten or twenty floors. But almost all the buildings are steel structures, and there is a strong smell of rust in the air.
and waste gas from ore smelting.
There are steam boilers emitting white smoke everywhere in the city, and smelting workshops of all sizes are everywhere. It is not difficult to see that the overall degree of mechanization in the city is very high, but the technology is not too advanced.
The whole city is like a steel monster hidden deep underground, constantly swallowing rocks and spitting out gold.
"There are so many rare metal resources. How rich is this vein?"
Su Lun appraised it and found that the buildings here were not made of ordinary steel, but alloy steel that was expensive outside.
Those rare metals are not refined, but they are directly used to build houses?
The only explanation is that the mineral deposits here are luxurious enough to squander it like this.
The corners of Su Lun's eyes twitched slightly, and she became more and more hopeful: I'm afraid I'm going to make a lot of money this time.
Looking over, he saw a very large ore refining factory not far away.
There are countless workers working in the workshop. They refine the ore into metal ingots and then load them into trucks for transportation.
When Su Lun looked over, he happened to see the boiler of a steam train roaring on the exclusive track for ore transportation leading to the factory workshop.
"Kang wipe", "kuang wipe", "kuang wipe".
A minecart pulled a cartload of ore in.
Su Lun looked at the colorful ores exposed in the carriage, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was surprised: "Rainbow ore? The quality is so high!"
Rainbow mineral veins do not refer to a certain type of ore alone, but to rich ores that are mixed with certain rare metals.
Magic pattern brass, mithril, black iron, rebar
These rare metals mixed together will reflect various brilliant colors.
In the outside world, a purity exceeding "20" is already a valuable bonanza.
Nowadays, these high-purity ores are generally identified as "purity 25", "purity 29", "purity 27". The highest purity.
If it were to be sold to outsiders, one car would be worth millions of liso.
Looking at the numb eyes of the workers, is this just ordinary ore?
“It’s no wonder”
Su Lun looked at it with great enthusiasm.
In an instant, he understood why Archduke Raphael had so much financial resources to create those hundreds of thousands of mechanical warriors!
The value of this mine right now is absolutely astonishingly rich.
It seems that the Raphael family has been operating here for decades, and who knows how much wealth they have accumulated!
Su Lun observed silently from a high place for a while, teleported again, walked out of an alley, and quietly blended into the flow of people on the street.
"It's actually such a big scale."
Su Lun looked at the bustling city in front of him and was also surprised.
For a moment, my memory was blurred, and I thought I was back in the underground world of Old Lingdun that would never see the light of day.
But the situation here is different.
Jiulingdun was once the ruins of an ancient city. Its main industries were mechanical military industry, biological research, and hunting for treasure. Although the industrial chain was abnormal, it was similar to a normal city.
And this place is simply an underground hole dug out by mining, and then a densely populated city grew.
Moreover, just looking at the shabby attire of the people on the street, the occupational structure here is also very simple, almost all of them are "miners"!
Hundreds of thousands of miners!
Su Lun sensed the spatial structure and found that there were spiderweb-like passages underground. It was unknown how deep the mine went.
As he walked along, he also saw some shops selling basic materials and alchemy knowledge, but most of them were mechanical modification shops.
Miners are very likely to have mutilated limbs, so you can see miners equipped with mechanical prostheses everywhere on the streets here. There are also some "advanced miners" equipped with mechanical exoskeletons, which don't seem to have a combat function, but for more efficient operations.
Mining and carrying heavy objects.
Pharmacies, food stores, various daily necessities stores, as well as entertainment hotels, taverns and public baths.
The business ecology of the Steel City is already perfect, enough to support the lives of these hundreds of thousands of people.
Su Lun walked all the way down the street.
In the soul perception, they are all low-level professionals and ordinary people.
Miners don't need strong combat capabilities. Along the way, I didn't even see a third-level professional.
Archduke Raphael controls the [Sun Stone] necessary to advance to the fourth level, and no one in this mine can break through to the fourth level.
People's skin color is white because they haven't seen the sun all year round, but from their facial features, it can be seen that they are not only people from Luying, but also from Marfa.
The source of the population was obviously slaves brought from various places.
This is exactly the same situation as in Old Rington.
In addition to miners, there are also a few professionals wearing weapons among the pedestrians on the street. Listening to their conversations, it turns out that they are the "hunting team" responsible for hunting down the cave-dwelling monsters in the mines.
While Su Lun was wandering on the street to observe, he heard the noise and turned down a street. He happened to encounter a hunting team returning to the city with the smell of blood on them.
The leader was a third-level bearded man.
This is already the strongest professional Su Lun has seen in this city.
As those people walked along, people greeted them one after another as if they were welcoming heroes.
"Hey, Captain Mark, you're back. Have you cleaned up those damn giant burrow rats in area T5? If we don't get some World of Warcraft corpses, the cannery has been short of meat recently."
"Of course. Not only were the giant rats killed, but a new vein of purple gold was discovered over there. Oh, the guys assigned to mine there next month will be happy. Not only can they complete the monthly payment task of the city lord,
At least there's still a lot of money left."
"Haha, brother Mark, this mission is completed. Your contribution points should be able to join the inner city guard team, right? Oh, then you will really have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
"Uncle Ward, I'd like to give you some good advice. Your Ike seems to be joining the hunting team this year, right? I'll ask my teammates to take care of him then."
"Oh, thank you so much. Come home quickly, your beautiful wife Joanna is waiting for you."
"Hey. I'll leave now. I'll ask you for a drink next time."
"."
Just some ordinary neighborhood chats, the folk customs are simple.
These conversations may sound incredible to outsiders.
But Su Lun, who came from Old Lington, was very touching.
These "miners" have had their memories erased and have no idea of the outside world.
If there were no outsiders, they would stay in this "underground world" for a lifetime and reproduce.
