Chapter 482 If I Am Not in Power, What Use Is Lu Ying?
The masters of Liming came to support, and there were more than ten people on the block in an instant.
Su Lun also had no chance to fight one-on-one with the "Frost Knight" Oscar, and the one-on-one fight instantly turned into a big fight.
As soon as he lifted the surgeon's seal, more than a dozen terrifying wax figures appeared beside him, and rushed into the battlefield.
Not only Qianjo came, but also Mr. Black, Barrett, Red Devil Kai, Kit... almost all the old members of the old Lington time mirror organization came.
The gold pattern on the cloak shone especially in the night.
Then there are the blood descendants of Mr. Mirror, the "Duke of Blood" Moore Wordsworth led a group of vampires, turned into big bats and swept across the sky.
In an instant, the huge lighthouse block became one.
The melee of the sixth- and seventh-level professionals was extremely exaggerated, and various high-level warlocks bombarded the sky. It was like elemental fireworks exploded in the sky, and the sky fell apart. Buildings collapsed in pieces, and the ground was cracked inch by inch.
Because it was a prepared ambush, people like Su Lun had an absolute advantage in combat power, even if those believers who had transformed the outer gods were not afraid of life and death.
The battle stopped after less than half an hour, and all six aberrations were killed.
But what makes Su Lun feel very regretful is that, except for "Frost Knight" Oscar's soul is still intact, the others are severe aberrations, and their souls are severely incomplete, and only some fragments of incomplete laws have been peeled off. The six monsters added up are not as good as a demon monk.
The only thing that can be considered good news is that there are more life essences of the evil parasites in the bodies of these top-level aberrations.
But the corpse decayed quickly, and Su Lun had already "suffered" before, thinking it would be a waste.
Unexpectedly, after communicating with Wordsworth, an old vampire who has lived for seven hundred years, he unexpectedly discovered that the vampires have also figured out some very special vampire experiences over the long years.
Su Lun also mastered a secret method that can absorb life essence beyond the body's tolerance.
Because of physical problems, the blood race can directly absorb the blood of almost any creature (eat fish without spitting out bones). But this kind of divine law pollutes the blood, and if it is inhaled, there will be hidden dangers of distortion.
Su Lun exchanged Augustus's experience in stripping blood-sucking impurities, and both sides gained something.
The battle in Beicheng was fought by Lu Ying's top dignitaries. In addition to eliminating monsters, they were also fighting for power.
Dawn is a neutral organization and has no interest in participating in the war.
Su Lun and the others didn't run around, they just wandered around in several large factories near the lighthouse area to clean up all kinds of distortion monsters.
Waiting maybe those evil gods will send masters to attack and kill them.
It can be considered as a help if it can be restrained.
A group of people dispersed and searched for the aberration monsters in various factories to clean them up.
Their power is in Nancheng, so it can be said that as long as there are no eighth-level professionals, there is basically no problem.
Even high-level aberration monsters can be killed in twos and threes.
Su Lun teamed up with Chijo, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, to clean up the monsters.
The two walked all the way, and there were corpses all over the block.
Professional swordsman is indeed one of the strongest killing professions. Qiantiao can kill these aberrations several times faster than Su Lun.
The movement of the two passing by attracted a group of monsters. Before Su Lun could make a move, she slashed lightly with a knife, cutting all the monsters into two pieces like chopping melons and vegetables.
Every time a monster was killed, the phantom of Rakshasa behind her became more solid, and its murderous aura became stronger.
After a while, cleaning up a wave of monsters in the dormitory also stopped for a while.
Su Lun watched Qiantiao relax, and then chatted: "Sister Qiantiao, have you entered the sixth level?"
During the battle just now, he could see that Qiantiao's strength was much stronger than when they parted before. But obviously I haven't seen him in less than two months, and I was still at the fifth level before, but now I'm not talking about the sixth level, and I even comprehend the domain. During this period of time, not only have I made progress, but my partners are also very good.
Qianjo put the knife back into its sheath, glanced at Su Lun, and responded: "Yes. I went to Zenodia Province before, and it happened that Mr. Wordsworth collected a thunder material that is very suitable for me. I will try After fusion, it will advance."
They looked at each other, probably since they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and there was a touch of intimacy in their eyes as if they had reunited after a long absence.
This young gambling addict didn't shy away from anything, as usual, she hooked Su Lun's shoulders and called her brothers to move forward.
At this time, she seemed to have just seen the black light crown on Su Lun's head, and asked curiously, "Hey, is your crown a curse? It looks good."
As she said that, she joked again: "Well, it matches your 'Prince Fick' temperament quite well."
Su Lun raised his brows, ignored her teasing, and simply explained: "This is the inheritance crown of Regadi, it is used to assist in comprehending the domain, and the effect is good. I feel that I have caught a little insight during the previous battle. , It seems to have touched a little threshold."
Speaking of this, what did he think of, and asked back: "By the way, Miss Qiantiao, how did you realize your own domain?"
When Qianjo heard this, he showed a look of incomprehension: "Ah, there is still a threshold for the 'field'?"
She pondered for a moment, and then added: "Isn't that the sixth step, and if you stabilize the realm a little bit, you can master it?"
Su Lun looked at her expression of "It doesn't matter if you have hands", rolled your 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 is very familiar, and he didn't know that Chijo was not in Versailles.
But it is purely a tendon, it just feels very simple.
Qiantiao's dedication to the way of the sword and her flawless sword heart made her comprehend her own "thundering sword intent" at the fifth level, and entered the sword saint realm. This is also the reason why she comprehended the domain so smoothly.
And there is another layer of reason, that is her talent of [Raksha Girl] with three solutions that no one has ever seen before.
After studying, Mr. Jing commented that this talent can even make Qiantiao have a high probability of ignoring the eighth-order threshold.
Seeing Su Lun's serious face, Qianjo realized that he was asking sincerely.
Then she thought for a moment seriously, and replied: "On the way to Lingdun, I killed a seventh-level sea monster, and I understood it directly. I remember the feeling at that time, probably... spying on the hidden world. The power of some special rules?"
Unknown.
Su Lun showed a helpless expression.
The field is the professional's own perception of the world and his profession. Everyone's perception is different, and it is indeed unclear.
What's more, this reckless woman Qiantiao has comprehended it in a daze, how can she explain it clearly to others?
If not, after two sentences of explanation, he was speechless, and Qian Tiao yelled impatiently: "Oh, I can't explain that feeling. Anyway, I think if you fight a lot, you will definitely understand."
Su Lun couldn't laugh or cry.
Obviously, compared to this, this young gambling addict is more interested in other issues.
Qiantiao hooked Su Lun's neck, the fire of gossip was blazing, and the topic jumped steeply: "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 cooperation, you know."
"Ah!"
Qiantiao's face was full of jokes, obviously he didn't believe it.
She naturally knew that the marriage is a cooperation, but she was more curious about the hidden story, and said: "The newspaper said that you and that noble lady have not been out in Rose Manor for a few days. Tsk tsk. The experience of the little princess of the Lance family Is it really that good?"
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows ambiguously, which was full of hints.
The reason why he stayed for a few more days was because he wanted to murder Young Master William and the demon monk. Su Lun didn't tell anyone about this.
He looked at the burning fire of gossip in Qiantiao's eyes, and wanted to explain something. But the thought flashed for a moment, and the thought was dismissed. Instead, he pretended to be frivolous and said, "My evaluation is not as good as Miss Qiantiao."
"???"
Qianjo was obviously taken aback when he heard it, and it took him a moment to understand what he said.
Looking at Su Lun again, she said quietly, "Hey, you brat, you really deserve a beating."
Hearing the "threatening" tone, Su Lun didn't care at all, and laughed.
Qianjo was not polite, locked his neck, and punched him on the head with one punch.
With a sound of "boom", Su Lun was in pain, and he let out a sound.
The two were cleaning up the zombies on the street, bickering occasionally, and having fun.
Liming's group had extraordinary fighting power, and they cleared the aberration monsters in the lighthouse block very quickly.
Before the zombie wave infected everyone, they almost killed them all.
Originally, Su Lun and the others had already made preparations. To kill monsters on such a large scale, the people from the Priory of Giants would definitely take action.
But I didn't expect that during the few hours of clearing the monsters, except for the first wave of "Frost Knight" Oscar, there was no master after that.
This made Su Lun feel a little puzzled.
However, the communicator reported the battle situation in various parts of Lingdun City at any time.
Although the zombie infection in the civilian area of the southern city was very serious, the actual decisive victory was still with the top nobles in the northern city.
Raphael, Lance, and Roberts have hoarded heavy troops ahead of time. There are airships in the sky and warships in the sea.
Several big families who supported the Outer God Sect were defeated steadily.
Things are going great.
But under the smooth sailing of the battle, the turning point came very suddenly.
Just when everyone thought that it was because the [Scarlet Potion] had not been released on a large scale, and that the Outer Gods had not been fully prepared and had arrived in advance, which led to the inability to organize resistance, a shocking news came.
In the Beacon District, in the corpse-strewn buildings of the Birmingham textile factory.
As soon as Su Lun got the assembly communication, he and Qianjo rushed over immediately.
The moment the two came, Barrett and Wordsworth arrived one after another.
Seeing Mr. Hei's extremely serious expression, everyone knew that something was wrong.
Barrett was the first to ask, "Mr. Hei, what's the matter?"
Mr. Hei is Liming's chief intelligence officer, and almost all information is collected in his hands. He looked at the crowd and said solemnly, "I just got the latest news. Master Pierre was seriously injured."
What!
Hearing this, everyone, including Su Lun, was stunned, all showing astonishment.
Master Pierre is a level nine professional, how can Lu Ying hit him hard?
Su Lun's eyes flashed solemnly, and he asked quickly: "Then the outer god has descended?"
After much deliberation, this is the only possibility.
But he didn't want to, Mr. Hei shook his head, "No."
Then he uttered a piece of news that made everyone's faces change suddenly, "Empress Charlotte ordered two eighth-rank court priests to murder Master Pierre!"
Hearing this information, everyone was dumbfounded.
Although they knew that the current climate of the Priory of Giants was supported by the royal family of Bonaparte, they never figured out that the dignified Empress Lu Ying would let people sneak attack the empire's Dinghai Shenzhen Master Pierre?
It would be fine if the queen herself is a believer of the outer gods, but Su Lun only confirmed it a few days ago, 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 outer gods can easily infiltrate.
And the current situation is that a wave of distortion broke out in Lingdun, causing millions of casualties. No matter how blind he was, he knew that those believers of the Outer Gods would bring about a catastrophic threat to Lu Ying's political situation.
Instead of uniting to deal with the Outer Gods, instead of discounting the pillars of the family?
Mr. Hei continued: "The specific information is still unclear. I received information before that the Queen invited Master Pierre to the Frederick Palace to discuss countermeasures. Then a fierce battle broke out not long after entering, and Pierre was arrested. It was hit hard. This is the latest information from two minutes ago."
When everyone heard this, they fell into silence.
Thoughts raced through Su Lun's mind.
Master Pierre is the main force to deal with the coming of the foreign god, if something happens to this one, it will be a big deal.
It seemed that the whole of Lingdun was in full swing, but everyone knew that it was the force collision between the top alchemists headed by Master Pierre and the outer god of the Priory of Giants that ultimately determined the outcome of the catastrophe.
No matter what, Su Lun couldn't figure out why the queen stabbed a knife in the back, but she also knew that there was no delay.
There's no point in waiting here.
He glanced at everyone, and said solemnly: "I plan to go and have a look."
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood and nodded.
The rest stayed in Nancheng to clean up the monsters. Su Lun had already appeared a few kilometers away with a spatial displacement.
I used the communicator to ask Mr. Jing, and she happened to be watching the battle near the Friedrich Palace.
Su Lun sensed the spatial coordinates left on her senior sister, and teleported in that direction many times. In the blink of an eye, he had already crossed the Rocco Valen River and came to the vicinity of the Royal Bank of Shenghui Avenue in Beicheng.
The last teleportation, the surrounding scene changed, and appeared in an attic.
Su Lun checked 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, he didn't say much, he motioned for him to look out of the window, and said, "You can see for yourself."
Su Lun walked to the window and saw the dense crowd of heads at a glance.
At this moment, tens of thousands of people gathered in the Friedrich Palace Square.
The armors of the noble private soldiers all have the noble coats of arms of their respective families, so Su Lun recognized them at a glance as the "Blue Cross Heavy Cavalry Legion" of the Lance Family, the "Black Griffin Longlance Legion" of the Roberts Family, and the others. There are ten marquises and earls' private army.
Then there are the "Golden Lion Legion" and "Dark Referee Army" of the Luying military.
There are even military intelligence officers in black trench coats.
Of course, the most eye-catching and the largest number of people are the "Super Mechanical Warrior" and "Mechanical Beast" two legions of Grand Duke Rafael! There are so many of them, and there is a large black mass.
The Grand Duke Raphael, the Grand Duke of Lance, the Grand Duke Roberts, and the three members of Congress were all present.
Even, almost all the top professionals in Lingdon are here.
Seeing this scene, Su Lun was even more puzzled.
I didn't see any people from Outer God, they were all from the opposition, obviously the fighting was going well.
But how could someone plot against Master Pierre?
At this moment, half of the buildings with sapphire blue spires in the imperial palace collapsed, obviously after a fierce battle just now.
And there is a large space in the square outside the palace, and no one dares to approach it.
A crooked old man covered in blue-gold flames was floating in the air, and he was indeed Master Pierre.
On the ground not far away, there was still a corpse with a large hole in its chest.
Su Lun didn't recognize that the corpse was the "Poison Sect" Quinn Andrew, one of the two eighth-rank priests of the royal family. This is a grand master of the line of poisonous warlocks, and is known as the most thorough alchemist in the world today on the study of poisons!
When Su Lun saw this, he already guessed something, and when he looked at the blue-golden flame on Master Pierre's body, he didn't guess anything: "Master Pierre used [Waiting] to forcibly suppress the toxin?"
He had personally seen the state of Master Pierre at the Full Moon Ball before. Knowing that this old man is near the end of his lifespan, walking is very difficult. But releasing his spiritual power in such a way now is tantamount to burning his lifespan, which obviously hurts a lot.
Su Lun's eyes twitched, and she glanced at Mr. Jing beside her out of the corner of her eye. Her eyes were extremely serious, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Look to the other side of the confrontation.
The white-haired old woman with the 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 cared about was not the palace guards, but the bearded middle-aged man with a mechanical skeleton beside the old woman.
"Commander of the Third Marfa Navy, Admiral "Steel Beamon" Burton Christ? Why is this guy here? "
Although Su Lun was not familiar with the people in Mafa, he had seen information about those top figures.
He never expected that beside Empress Lu Ying, there would be Mafa soldiers, her old enemy.
Moreover, looking at the posture, the queen seems to have any cooperation with this Burton?
On the square outside the palace, the two sides did not fight, but the atmosphere of the confrontation looked very bad.
That's when Su Lun came, listening to the conversation between the two parties.
Queen Charlotte asked sternly: "Pierre, do you remember your status as a royal enshrined? Do you still remember that you were able to advance to the ninth level because of the favor of the royal family? I didn't expect you to betray the royal family! Before betraying the party and government You didn’t support the royal family during the change, but now you still want to support the rebellion?”
After hearing this, Pierre sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I have never forgotten my identity. The duty of court worship is to protect the continuation of the empire and the alchemy civilization. right."
Speaking of this, the old man hesitated for a moment, as if he felt that it was meaningless to elaborate, and said: "From the beginning to the end, the old minister didn't feel that he had done anything wrong."
When Su Lun heard this conversation, he guessed that they were talking about the "moon coup".
Outsiders don't know what happened at the beginning, but he heard the inside story from Ekaterina.
Bona IX was weak and incompetent, and it was Charlotte who actually controlled the regime long ago.
This old woman has completely emptied the royal power of the Bona family, and the royal family exists in name only. She also wanted to support her matrilineal family and completely usurp power. Then, in the process of seizing power, there were a series of coquettish operations, which made the people's lives difficult, and more importantly, touched the interests of the old nobles.
Then there was the Mechanical Revolution and the Bruma Coup, which were directly brought down.
Then there was a bizarre restoration.
Now it seems that it must be secretly supported by the Giant Priory.
And Ekaterina also said that without her teacher speaking, the Bona royal family would have been sent to the gallows long ago. It is really thanks to the old man that the empress can live till now.
Queen Charlotte didn't appreciate it at all, she heard a cold light flash in her eyes, "Hmph, it's useless to talk about the past. I've already said that the ancient god from the Priory of Giants is the guardian god of Lu Ying's contract. Since you have heard the order, why don't you retreat? Do you want to rebel?!"
When Su Lun heard this, his face changed.
At this moment, suddenly realized.
Only then did he know why this was the case, why the royal family allowed the Outer God to collect beliefs so rampantly.
It turned out to be a "contract god"!
In the dawn era, the alchemy civilization swept many planes, and they swept many planes with powerful force.
Those gods of other civilizations who resisted were killed; those who surrendered, signed a contract and became the contract guardian god.
Thinking about it, the Lu Ying Empire searched for the most treasures in the world and found a contract with the gods left over from ancient times.
Queen Charlotte dared to do this.
However, this kind of contract was signed under the premise of suppressing strength or reciprocity!
The highest level of the Bona royal family is only eighth, and they actually want to sign this kind of contract with an outer god?
Not to mention whether this contract is stable or not, and whether it will be backlashed;
Signing a contract with this kind of evil god who kills millions of people at every turn, what does this old woman think?
In the eyes of the gods, human beings are lowly creatures like ants and blood eaters!
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 the catastrophe in Lingdun will kill at least a few million people. The Outer God used your people to recover from their injuries and gather fire. Such an evil god, you Do you really think he will protect the empire?"
Hearing this, Queen Charlotte sneered disdainfully: "Hahaha millions of people? So what? It's just a population, and it will be filled soon. As long as the royal family is still there, Lu Ying will continue to prosper forever !"
Su Lun's eyes turned cold when he heard this.
What a vicious guy.
Being questioned in front of tens of thousands of people, the old woman's face was not good-looking, and she said sarcastically: "Besides, I don't trust Lord Ancient God, trust you?"
As she spoke, she glanced at everyone, "Is this how you repay the royal family's trust?"
"Why"
Pierre sighed when he heard this.
Just by looking at the old man's expression, one can tell that his heart is ashamed.
He spoke again and asked three times in a row.
"Your Majesty, you ordered the evacuation of the defenders of the 'Northern Defense First Island Chain' three days ago? Do you know that the loss of the hundred-year-old defense island chain will expose the hinterland of the island to the enemy's attack range, and make the island more vulnerable to attack?" The whole empire is in jeopardy?"
"It is said 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, let General Marfa by your side appear in Lingdun with heavy troops. What do you think?"
These words are full of lamentation and grief, but also pale and powerless.
The building will collapse, and he will never recover.
At the end of Pierre's questioning, the nostalgic feeling in his tone has completely dissipated.
He knew that the empress could not answer, and before she could respond, he suddenly became indifferent, and said: "If the price of your power is the collapse of the empire, even if the old minister with the severance of civilization bears the name of injustice, you will have to pay for it." He risked his life to stop it!"
Su Lun was in awe when he heard this.
He also finally understood why he didn't fight even though he was seriously injured by a sneak attack, but kept talking for a long time.
This is the master alchemist who has worked hard for the empire all his life, and he is making a final favor with the royal family.
The favor of the royal family is finally coming to an end.
Ceding land and betraying the country, this is a big scandal!
When she heard the scandal she had done and was told in public, Queen Charlotte's face also turned livid, and turned into endless anger.
She didn't hide it anymore, her eyes showed a vicious light, and her ambition was undisguised: "Hahaha, it's ridiculous! You are a priest, how can you question the decision of the royal family? The Luying Empire was established by the ancestors of the Bona royal family. If you are in power, what is the use of this empire? What is the use of you? If I am not in power, even if everyone dies, what does it matter to me!"
These words fully demonstrate the selfishness, greed and ignorance of human nature.
After a pause, the old woman yelled violently: "Now let me ask one last question, are you retreating? If you don't retreat, it's like a rebellion. Shoot and kill!"
When Pierre heard this, his tone didn't fluctuate any more.
The gentleness in his cloudy eyes dissipated, and gradually became as sharp as a light.
"Maybe one day the empire will collapse, maybe one day the alchemy civilization will lose its brilliance and be submerged in the dust of history. But not today!"
When he said this, the old man whose life had come to an end had an extremely calm tone.
But the words are sonorous and resounding.
Echoes throughout the Palace Square!
