Chapter 432 Goodbye Sabina

Su Lun went out refreshed after having a hearty breakfast in the rich woman's apartment.

He made an appointment with Mr. Hei today.

In addition to reminiscing about the past, there are also many things to ask face to face.

Mr. Hei was employed as an inconspicuous administrator in the "Luying Congregational Library" in Lyndon. He stayed there all day, reading and sorting books, and occasionally doing some restoration work on ancient books. It is inconspicuous, but it is the intelligence core of the Dawn Organization in Lingdon.

The location of the library is in the Franklin District, which is an urban area that is not clearly divided between the rich and the common people. There are many large and medium-sized enterprises. It can be regarded as a place where the elite among the common people works actively.

Su Lun rode his steam motorcycle from the apartment across the two urban areas, and it took half an hour to arrive at the library.

It is a very spectacular building complex, the architectural style is classical Gothic, with beautiful golden bell towers and various towers. It was the most magnificent building Sullen had ever seen in Lyndon.

He parked his motorcycle in a carport near Library Square and walked over.

The weather is fine today, and there are quite a few people in the Fountain Square feeding those chubby pigeons with bread crumbs.

Where rich people gather, pets will be fatter.

I contacted Mr. Hei, who is currently sorting out ancient books in the library area of ​​Area A.

Su Lun looked at the guide map and walked into the library gate.

Although the library is open to everyone, modest attire is required to enter.

In Luying, a decent set of clothes consists of a top hat, leather boots, and a cane, which add up to at least tens of thousands of lisuo.

It is impossible for the vast majority of civilians to spend such a large sum of money to purchase a suit. Therefore, the library seems to be open to everyone, but in fact, the low-level people are excluded.

Allowing some people to have access to knowledge is a gift from the noble class to the common people.

Su Lun walked into the library, as if walking into a maze of books.

This "Library of Congress" is as famous as the "Library of the Royal Academy of Luying" and is the two largest libraries in the world.

In the public area of ​​the museum, there are more than 200 million recorded collections. Every year, a large number of social donations are accepted, and this number is still increasing.

The collection includes books, manuscripts, newspapers, ancient scrolls, stamps, pictures and some strange cursed objects. In the book area, there are more than a thousand kinds of classics recorded in writing, involving ancient relics from dozens of civilization eras.

All in all, very big.

The lights in the library are bright, and there are not many people on the mahogany chairs to read books.

Su Lun looked all the way over, feeling a little itchy in his heart, thinking that it would be great if he could have such a library in his small void world and take it with him.

The deeper he explored in the field of alchemy, the more he was in awe of the vastness of knowledge.

Not long after, Su Lun came to a corner of Area A.

This is the book collection area, except for the administrator who came back, there are no outsiders.

When I came here, I happened to see Mr. Hei on the bookshelf on the second floor, who was busy arranging a lot of ancient scrolls.

Su Lun said hello, "Long time no see, Mr. Hei."

Mr. Hei chuckled, and replied: "I can't afford to be a 'Mr.'. This seniority can't be messed up."

He is Mr. Jing's disciple, and Su Lun is Mr. Jing's junior.

In terms of seniority, Mr. Hei had to call Su Lun "little uncle".

How could Su Lun dare to trust him? In his eyes, this old gentleman will always be the wise man, senior and elder whom he respects. Once in Old Lington, he also helped him solve big troubles several times.

Moreover, Mr. Hei is a real [polymath].

Don't look at Su Lun himself who has harvested so much miscellaneous knowledge, but after all, most of the people who are searched are pirates and combatants. How many books can he read? Excluding those overlapping, both in depth and quantity are far worse than Mr. Hei.

But with respect in his heart, Su Lun still joked when he saw Mr. Hei: "Why don't we talk about each other? I'll still call you 'Sir', and you call me 'Little Uncle'?"

Mr. Hei was not angry when he heard it, but he happily said, "Hahaha"

They all knew that no one would care about this title.

Mr. Hei pointed to the chair beside him, "Su Lun, just find a place to sit."

He wasn't an outsider either, Su Lun was so polite, he took a chair and sat beside him, and looked at the ancient scrolls on the table, showing great interest.

Mr. Hei also noticed it, pointed at the ancient product scrolls on the table, and said, "Sorry, I wanted to make an appointment elsewhere. But I'm really too busy with work."

How could Su Lun care about this.

After a pause, Mr. Hei introduced again: "This is the 'Kimberi script', an ancient script with very few records dating back to civilization. It was unearthed by an adventure group from a shipwreck in the South China Sea last month, and it was just sent to the library yesterday. Come to the library. With just this box of ancient scrolls, I searched through all the libraries in Lu Ying, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to find another box.”

Those words seemed to have a kind of magic power, and when talking about it, the polymath's calm eyes lit up.

Su Lun hadn't even heard of this dating civilization, and he was quite interested in seeing it. He asked, "The records on it seem to be a kind of alchemy?"

Mr. Hei's erudition was immediately reflected, "Yes. Those that can be preserved so well are naturally valuable texts. Because there is knowledge dating, the translation is not very accurate. It is probably a kind of ancient extraction. The Alchemy of Seawater"

"oh."

Su Lun has learned a lot from listening.

He was even more envious of the "treasure-gathering effect" of an imperial capital like Lingdun.

Luying adventurers searched for treasures and unearthed ancient ruins all over the world. But in the end, almost all the good stuff was unearthed and shipped to Lyndon.

Especially things like ancient relics.

Because only people in a big city like Lingdon can afford to buy them; and only here can a team of experts with enough knowledge translate them and dig out the true value of the relics.

Just looking at these few ancient scrolls in the library, perhaps they are all rare treasures that ordinary people have never had the chance to touch in their lifetime.

And Lu Ying is a huge empire.

Lingdun City has accumulated thousands of years of heritage, which is definitely beyond the imagination of outsiders.

These details are also the most important reason why this place is called the "Sacred Land of Alchemy".

Apart from envy, Su Lun is still envious.

And with this comparison, I feel more and more like a nouveau riche.

It is more that I feel that I need more knowledge to enrich myself.

There is endless knowledge in this library, the vastness is like an endless starry sky.

Mr. Hei found such an identity to hide himself, it is a hobby, but also for his own career advancement.

Su Lun felt that if he saw the world in the future, it would be a good choice to retire as a librarian.

When the old man reunited, Su Lun curiously sensed the fluctuation of Mr. Hei's soul. He frowned in amazement and asked directly, "Mr. Hei, what is your strength now? Why do I think you are so powerful?"

If it wasn't special, he wouldn't have asked.

He knew that Mr. Hei had advanced to the fifth level now, but it gave people the feeling that it was as deep as the sea.

Even facing any sixth-level or even seventh-level professionals he had seen before, Su Lun didn't have such an unfathomable feeling.

Those bright eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

Mr. Hei did not respond directly, but smiled and said, "Little friend Su Lun, you are amazing. In the battle in the city-state of Moros, you had a record of one enemy and two hundred thousand, but no one could do it. Now you are young Lu Ying." The 'strongest professional' in people's eyes."

Hearing this, Su Lun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Mr. Hei, don't disturb me. You still don't know what the truth is?"

There was a smile in Mr. Hei's cloudy eyes, but it was not entirely a joke, and said: "This is not my nonsense, it is written in the newspapers. At least in that case, if you want to defeat so many enemies, the seventh-level professional It can't be done."

In front of a polymath, Su Lun didn't have the face to brag about himself. He returned to the previous topic and asked again: "So, what kind of combat power do you have now?"

Mr. Hei thought about it, and said an ambiguous sentence: "Knowledge makes me fearless."

"."

Su Lun rolled his eyes, his expression seemed to be able to speak: speak human words.

Mr. Hei looked at his playful expression, after all, he thought about it, and said very calmly: "Well, to be honest, if you are below the seventh rank, you probably cannot be defeated."

Hearing these words, Su Lun seemed to have received a satisfactory answer, "I think you are humble."

According to the old man's modest character, if he dared to say that, his meaning would have to go up a bit.

For anyone else to say this, it can even be directly understood as...below the seventh level, I am invincible!

Even though Su Lun felt that he was already very powerful, he didn't dare to say that he was invincible below the seventh level.

It's like meeting the manipulator behind the [Ghost Bride] before, there is that kind of black magic puppet, whether it is the fifth or sixth level, Su Lun is not sure that he will be able to defeat it.

But if Mr. Hei dared to say this, he must have some certainty.

Strong as always.

Su Lun felt emotional in his heart.

Being able to be accepted as a disciple by Mr. Jing himself, Mr. Hei's talent is absolutely needless to say.

This old man is good at everything, but he is a little too low-key.

They are obviously the most knowledgeable group of people in the world, but they behave like ignorant school-age children at any time, always showing a kind of modesty and restrained calmness.

After chatting, Su Lun and Mr. Hei chatted about business.

The latest situation of Luying, the recent situation of Liming Organization, and the reactions of major forces

Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Mr. Jing and the others had gone to Xenodia Province, and that the organization had developed well there.

He also told Mr. Hei about the clues he found yesterday.

At least let Liming's intelligence organization take some precautions in advance.

During this chat, the two chatted from morning to afternoon.

If it wasn't for Su Lun who had other things to do, he really planned to stay in the library for a few days to ask for advice and study.

Before leaving, Su Lun gave Mr. Hei the [Void Tolerance Potion] and a piece of spatial material that was highly compatible with the [Potatician] professional.

Not long after, Mr. Hei sent Su Lun to the door of the library, "This professional material is really suitable for me, Su Lun, you have a heart."

Not only the materials, but also the rare [void tolerance potion] and those lost ancient void alchemy techniques, which will greatly increase his space ability.

For this polymath, the increase in strength will be more terrifying than ordinary people, and that kind of affinity will make a qualitative change in his space spells!

Su Lun didn't care about this.

Not to mention the relationship between the members of Liming and Mr. Jing, Mr. Hei once helped him a lot in Old Lington.

Mr. Hei said again: "By the way, Su Lun, I have read the [Isaac's Alchemy Manuscript] that you want, and it is indeed in the library of the Royal Academy. But it is not easy to get it out. It is the Royal Academy's manuscript. The academy’s permanent collection, even the royal family, has no right to give it to anyone. Therefore, the only way to obtain it is to use some extraordinary means. However, the library has very clever security restrictions, and even now I have not researched any way to circumvent it. Prohibition scheme."

"oh?"

Su Lun frowned.

He didn't just want to get the contents inside to refine [Isaac's Giant's Power], but also wanted to get the tome itself.

That was left by Sir Isaac. Apart from knowledge, it is a very powerful treasure in itself.

Su Lun felt that the master's treasures should naturally be collected in his hands, not to mention that his teacher Sereya said that there is a big secret hidden in the notes.

But it seems that it is not easy to get it.

Mr. Hei said: "I think you can go and see for yourself sometime, after all, you can see more things with the talent of the pupil of omniscience."

Su Lun nodded: "Yeah."

Going to Luying Royal Academy is also one of his plans for the next few days.

Go look at that manuscript, and by the way, go and look at his disciple Jike who likes to study bombs.

Mr. Hei said again: "Also, you can ask Kit about this matter. He is proficient in various prohibition cracking and unlocking decoding abilities, and he may be able to help. And he will probably be very interested. After all, the Royal Academy Books The treasure in the Treasure Hall is an 'ultimate challenge' for the Thief Professionals to be certified as the King of Thieves. The one who succeeded in the last challenge was the "King of Thieves" Carlo Merdis, one of the top ten legendary hunters .”

Su Lun smiled.

Before parting, Mr. Hei said again: "Danny opened a pharmacy shop at 171 Lawton Street, Queens. When you go, remember to tell him that I have already found the batch of ancient pharmacy books he was looking for. Yes, you can pick it up anytime"

Su Lun nodded: "OK."

Not long after, Su Lun came to Queens on his steam motorcycle.

Lawton Street is the seat of the general trade union of the "Luying Pharmacists Union", and it is also the only place in the empire where senior pharmacists are certified.

This block gathers pharmacists from all over the country, so it also has the largest pharmaceutical material market in Luying.

Pharmacy is one of the most important basic subjects in alchemy. Su Lun is proficient in it himself. It just so happens that some materials are missing in the recent experimental research. Dr. Banks also issued a long list, so he plans to purchase one himself. Fan.

After Su Lun drove the motorcycle over and parked it at the corner of the street, he wandered around the market with great interest.

There are a variety of drug and material shops with signboards, and Su Lun casually browsed through a few of them.

It has to be admitted that the bulk distribution market on Rawton Street is indeed Lu Ying's largest pharmaceutical material market. You can find almost all potion materials you need here!

There are also various finished medicines for sale in the shop, from the lowest-level healing medicines to life-sustaining medicines worth tens of millions, all here.

As long as you have money, you can buy almost any potion with the desired effect.

The pedestrians on the street were bustling, except for pharmacists and professional merchants, most of them were adventurers who came to buy potions.

Because it is the main distribution center, the medicine here is much cheaper than other places.

However, Su Lun went around and only bought a few urgently needed materials, and gave up.

It's not that I don't want to buy more, but these materials are too expensive!

Su Lun had been in the North Sea pirate circle before, and was used to the "bone price" of the pirate black market.

Now, when he came to the regular market, he found that those materials were really expensive.

Materials that can be bought for a thousand lisuo in the pirate city of Hastling may cost ten thousand or even tens of thousands here.

Materials are basically four or five times more expensive on average, and some are even dozens of times more expensive.

Su Lun gave up the idea of ​​sweeping the goods.

Although he is not short of money, there is no need to waste it like this.

These matters should be handed over to the chamber of commerce of Lena Rich Lady.

Self-made, no middleman to make the difference, more suitable for bulk purchases.

Su Lun didn't delay in the market, looked at the house number, and walked all the way through the bustling Lawton Street. Once you find No. 150, you are already in a very remote corner.

After going around for a long time, he couldn't find the destination, so he asked the locals, and finally found No. 171.

The shop was hidden in a dark alley.

Probably like a village in the city, there is a very old house behind the bright commercial area of ​​Lawton Street, where many porters who work hard at the material market live.

Su Lun looked at the house number that he had finally found, and muttered, "No wonder Mr. Hei said it was hard to find."

It was a small shop, with only a small sign that said "Danny's Pharmacy".

Compared with those big shops on the main street, this is no different from a street stall.

However, the shop was closed.

The news that Su Lun came to Lingdon City did not want everyone to know, Danny didn't know that he was coming.

But he knew that there were people in the room, and there were quite a few of them.

As soon as the Warlock Seal was pinched, a man covered in a cloak appeared.

Dr. Banks, who came out of the Little Void Realm, looked at the sign on the shop, and his voice was obviously agitated, "This is Danny's shop?"

Su Lun nodded: "Well. It should be on the second floor. There are quite a few people there."

Just when the two were hesitant to knock on the door, a young face wearing a peaked cap appeared on the roof of the second floor.

The man looked at Su Lun's two apparently unknown people, and asked cautiously, "Who are you looking for?"

Su Lun looked up. Although the hat covered his face, he recognized the man immediately, and said, "Kai?"

He had sensed that there was a not-so-weak Tier 3 professional upstairs, but he didn't expect him to be an acquaintance.

This is none other than Kay, the old captain of the Old Lingdon Cross Society, who had a life-long friendship with Su Lun.

The peaked cap was also stunned for a moment when someone called out its real name, "Su Lun?"

When he saw Su Lun's face clearly, he instantly showed an expression of disbelief, and shouted out in surprise: "Oh my god, it's really you!"

Kai jumped down lightly and gave Su Lun a warm hug.

Su Lun was also very happy looking at his old friend.

The alley was obviously not the time for small talk, Kai greeted: "Go, let's talk inside!"

As he spoke, he knocked on the closed door of the pharmacy, raised his head and shouted, "Anisha, open the door quickly."

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs in the room, the door opened after a while.

It was a little nurse in an isolation suit, a young girl. She looked at Su Lun and the two with wide eyes, and asked, "Mr. Kai, is there a new patient?"

Kai didn't explain much, "No. It's my old friend with Danny."

"oh."

The little nurse named Anisa turned and went upstairs, "Then Mr. Kai, greet the guests, I have to help Dr. Danny change the patient's medicine."

Kay: "Okay."

Su Lun looked at the few finished medicines in the shop, and asked casually, "Why isn't the shop open?"

Kai looked a little dignified, and said: "These days there is a strange disease in the city. There are too many patients. If we open it again, we will not be able to accommodate them."

Before Su Lundo could think about it, they had already walked up to the second floor.

In the small room, more than a dozen hospital beds were separated by curtains, and a figure in a white coat was busy working from the back.

He seemed to be very focused, and he didn't realize that there were two more people in the room. He just said, "Anisha, inject a 'T3 antiviral toxin' to the patient in bed number three."

Kay originally wanted to greet Danny to greet his old friend, but Dr. Banks on the side walked over.

He didn't look at his son, but saw the patients on bed No. 3, and said, "T3 level antiviral toxins are not enough to suppress the patient's symptoms, at least T5 level should be used. Add five milliliters of 'mercury' neutralizer' to neutralize the septic blood in the patient's organs."

Hearing this, Danny didn't look back, and said in a dialogue: "T5 is gone. Let's use T3 first. I'll figure out a solution later."

After speaking, he finally realized that someone had said something.

Looking back, I was looking at a stranger beside me.

Although the face could not be seen clearly, a sense of familiarity and intimacy emerged spontaneously.

Danny wasn't sure who he saw, but when he turned around, he recognized Su Lun, and exclaimed, "Su Lun?"

Su Lun nodded and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Danny."

Goodbye old friend, Danny couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.

Since this is Su Lun, then.

Danny knew before that his father was still alive, and it was because of the distortion inhibitors sent from Pirate City that he saved his life.

So, this person is his father?

Dr. Banks also spoke, with a complicated tone: "Danny, are you okay?"

Hearing this, Danny burst into tears.

The joy of reuniting father and son is indescribable.

Unfortunately, both of them were deformed, and their appearance was completely different from before.

Their respective experiences are not clear in a few words.

However, before the two had time to say a few words to catch up, the patient's cough interrupted them.

Banks temporarily suppressed the symptoms of the patients with some advanced medicine that he carried with him.

Su Lun watched the whole process with serious eyes.

Because no matter how you look at these patients, they look like the symptoms of the "Red Death".

With this question, Danny also proved a point.

"This is a new infectious disease, which should have been transmitted by rats at first. Patients will have red spots on their bodies, especially on their faces, often accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, severe pain, and bleeding from pores. I have tried many methods , There is no cure for it yet. Some advanced medicines can suppress the symptoms of some diseases, so that the patients' lives are not in danger for the time being, but the bad thing is that ordinary people simply cannot afford the cost of injecting advanced medicines."

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, I found that recently those speculators who smelled the limelight have stockpiled their goods again. But the price of all related medicines and materials that can suppress this disease has increased several times, and the price is even higher. It is continuing to skyrocket. I want to buy some material configuration potions, but it is very difficult to buy."

Dr. Banks also looked serious, and said, "Looking at the symptoms, it should be the legendary 'Red Death'."

Danny didn't know what happened, and asked suspiciously, "Father, what kind of disease is this?"

Dr. Banks and Su Lun looked at each other, sighed slightly, "Let's go downstairs and talk."

The patient was fine for the time being, and Danny was finally able to get out of the ward.

They chatted downstairs.

Danny's body is deformed and his facial features are scary, so he doesn't like to show his face. But because he was rescued by people from the slums in Old Lington, that experience also made him always have goodwill towards the bottom people. So when he came to Lingdun, he opened such a small pharmacy, selling some affordable pharmacy to the low-level people on weekdays, and treating some patients.

That little nurse Anissa was a previous patient. Danny healed her who was mortal. The girl stayed and worked as a nurse for the shop.

There are too many things to talk about when old friends meet, but they talk more about the "Red Death".

In the bottom layer of Lingdun, this "horror of blood" is quietly spreading.

Fortunately, Dr. Banks is an expert in this field. After seeing these cases, he also has some treatment ideas.

Still, that would require a lot of clinical trials to test some of the options.

No one can tell how long it will take.

This also made Su Lun more eager to know who was spreading the disease, and who was the supplier of the batch of parasite-containing medicines!

Professionals like Dr. Banks and Danny researched the Red Death, so there was no need for Su Lun to worry about it.

In the evening, he came to a coffee shop called "Misty Bird" by the Rocco Valen River.

He has an appointment with Sabina to meet here at seven o'clock.

They will go to the mysterious "Full Moon Ball" together.

Su Lun ordered a cup of coffee and sat in the corner by the window. This position happened to be able to observe almost everyone in the coffee shop.

Just outside the window is the famous Lingdun Iron Bridge.

This open suspension bridge is a landmark of Lingdon. If a giant ship whistles, the bridge deck can automatically tilt to both sides to allow ships to pass.

Su Lun just sat down and took a few sips of coffee, and looked at his pocket watch. It was still a quarter of an hour before the appointed time.

But at this moment, a woman who covered most of her face with a scarf hurried into view. She glanced at the people in the coffee shop, and instantly set her eyes on Su Lun in the corner.

She walked over briskly, and untied her scarf as she walked.

The shiny red hair with big waves first came into view, and then looked at the charming smile, who is it if it's not Sabina?

Su Lun looked at the succubus maid whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Sabina didn't sit honestly opposite Su Lun, but sat directly beside him without any shyness.

Clinging to her hot delicate body, the succubus maid put her arms around her master's neck and said coquettishly, "Sir, I've kept you waiting!"
