Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 502: Illegally Modified Assembly

In the tower crane room, the two chatted while drinking beer.

"So, what you mean is that recently, in the black market, adventure union, and bounty union of Capitoline, people have put up high rewards, looking for that [Ouroboros Fragment]?"

"Yes! Just like what you described to me, a pattern of ouroboros with special stripes. The bounty is still very high. Just providing effective clues, the bounty is over one million kroner. The person who offered the bounty behind the scenes seems not afraid of being caught People noticed, very high-profile."

"Tsk tsk. This is obviously someone fishing."

"."

As soon as Su Lun heard that someone offered a reward for this [Ouroboros Fragment], he knew it must be a sinkhole.

It's not like he hasn't considered the direct method of offering a reward before.

The idea was later dismissed.

Because this may put yourself in a very dangerous situation!

The fundamental reason is that the grade of this fragment is very high, but anyone who can use this thing must be a top powerhouse.

Even the [Battle Angel Wings] that Su Lun gave to No. 19 just now, he can more or less see some ways to know that it is a piece of God-level machinery.

But Su Lun couldn't understand the fragments of the ring at all.

Even a professional like Mr. Jing can't understand the supernatural rules left on it.

But the all-seeing eye saw a trace of "the breath of the original material", from which it can be inferred that this fragment is definitely not an ordinary artifact fragment.

There are too many ancient treasures left on the alchemy plane, which is abnormal in the first place.

Whoever finds it is a small chance.

But in the eyes, the problem is small.

There are only two kinds of people who will directly offer rewards.

The first type is like Bao Bo, who has no fragments in his hand and wants to find other fragments;

The seventh type is the person who knows the function of the fragment;

But no matter what kind of motivation it is, as long as you find the person offering the reward, you can immediately get one of the following seven rewards.

That's why Bao Bo dared to offer a reward, because he was afraid of being found in the opposite direction.

And because the immediate situation is safer.

If it's just a small person from Marfa looking for it, it's fine, maybe it's these "real goods" guys.

For example, the plane of the gods!

The information I learned later is that the main purpose of these people who are invading the plane now is to find the baby.

Moreover, we have received instructions from the lower levels to look for some ordinary "ultra-level treasures".

If it is as Su Lun judged, then [Bao Chanlos Fragment] is the most magical weapon.

It may be a certain god who pays so much attention to that kind of thing.

Tsk tsk, being followed by a god is just a joke.

Even if it was possible, Bao Bo wanted to be contaminated with that karma.

Hearing Bao Bo's explanation, No. 14 knew the danger, and murmured: "No wonder he said he wanted to make contact, so that's the way it is. From this to that, I'm afraid someone will pick up the reward."

Su Lun said again: "It is also possible. After all, the fragments flowed from Marfa, probably from some ancient ruins. Some adventurers may know some information, but we are not the most fragmented Importance. Yes, if no one is lured by the bounty, I’m afraid it will be bad luck.”

Having said that, my thinking is also active.

Eight-sevenths of this fragment is out of his hands, and Su Lun also wants to know where the rest is.

After that, I was afraid of being missed by others, and some dared to look for it too ostentatiously.

But now no one has done what they dare to do, and the operability is the same again.

Almost everyone at the top of the two small empires knew the news of the plane invasion, and now they are so brazenly offering rewards, so there is almost no one conclusion.

This is the bounty offerer in front of the screen, and it is almost 100% sure that it is an invader from the plane of the gods!

It just so happened that Su Lun didn't have enough wrong information about these intruders.

Judging from the information stripped out later, it will take about half a year at most before the space channel can withstand the arrival of Tier 4 professionals.

In other words, the lowest level of the invasion plane is now.

As long as you meet someone like "Holy Son" Frank who is favored by the gods, you can still say that Su Lun's future strength is a small problem.

Thoughts were racing through his mind, Bao Bo immediately came up with a plan, and said, "You plan to find a chance to get in touch with the person who announced the reward."

Listening to No. 14, he also nodded: "Are you going to a rally tonight?"

Su Lun nodded: "OK."

To the east of Kabitron is the Endless Warcraft Mountains.

Wangjin Sentry is the last human town before retreating into the Warcraft Mountains.

It is a paradise for adventurers and speculators, and it is very quiet all year round.

Just when Su Lun came to the Marfa Empire, an adventure group called the "Old Blacksmith Adventure Group" also returned with a full load.

Booker Ferguson, the multi-owner of the blacksmith group, and Claude, the old housekeeper, just handed in the task from the bounty union and walked out.

Walking down the road, seeing someone on the seventh floor, Booker happily shared his discovery just now, and said, "Oh, Claude, have you seen this, the most unpopular bounty on the bounty list! My God, No one has offered a reward of one million crowns for information? Is this pattern exactly the same as the 'Ouroboros Totem' seen by the mountain dwarf tribe in Giant God Mountain?"

However, the old butler warned earnestly: "Master Buck, you think it's better for you not to participate in this reward. The leader has been telling you to reveal all the information about the dwarf tribe. Otherwise, it will bring harm to the mountain dwarves." If you go to trouble, it will also affect your future business routes."

Special adventurers who retreat into the mountains will hunt and kill monsters, and complete some rare material collection tasks issued by the bounty union.

But what other people know is that the old blacksmith group has no way to make a fortune.

Because the leader "blacksmith" Yale Ferguson accidentally rescued an injured dwarf in the Warcraft Mountains, he gained the friendship of the mountain dwarves.

Before then, when our hunting group went to the territory of the mountain dwarf tribe, we could always exchange some daily necessities for the precious ore of the dwarf tribe, as well as some well-forged armor and weapons. The profits are huge.

Because Ferguson is high-profile enough and greedy, that channel of making money has always been broken.

Over the past ten years, the Ferguson group has earned a lot of money because of this, and it is now the little-known "Old Blacksmith Adventure Group". .

Booker took it for granted, his young face was full of ambition, and he raised his neck and said, "Your father is just too cowardly! Dozens of barrels of beer worth ten thousand crowns can be exchanged for a pile of 100,000 ore. If it were you, bring less stuff to these stupid dwarves, and replace all the good things we hid outside the cave. If it takes a long time, your blacksmith group will be rich. Instead It’s so young, and it’s still a big adventure group!”

The old butler shook his head and said, "Dwarves don't hate contact with humans, it's because we think humans are too greedy. Sir, you think it's great that he doesn't have such thoughts. Master said that the simplicity of dwarves is stupid. We don't hate dealing with humans who are too smart. But if you have no good intentions, you will lose the friendship of the dwarves."

"."

Booker obviously listened to the old butler's words.

At this moment, all I have left in my mind is the million-dollar bounty.

Just a piece of news is worth millions, and it is asking us to take risks, so why can we make money?

In the evening, night fell.

Capitoline's sky can see a very beautiful sunset.

But for those living in the upper echelons of the city, evening is night.

Because the ground floor has completely seen the sunlight, there is only a piece of gorgeous red and blue lights.

"Om Weng."

"Om Weng."

The steam boiler of the motorcycle roared, and the headlights were turned on.

Su Lun was also polite, and directly made it in the front seat. The modified motorcycle on the 14th is much better than the performance I made myself.

I am unfamiliar with the road again, so I simply feel at ease as a passenger.

With the center of gravity leaning forward, the motorcycle galloped towards the alley.

The location of tonight's "illegal modding party" is in the suburban wasteland, and we still need a big hour in the past.

Bao Bo put his arms around No. 14's slender waist, and watched the street scenery all the way, but it was quite leisurely. The key is to be able to free up your mind to deal with the work outside the Great Void.

After that, I blackmailed the Moses family with 800 tons of [activated silver]. I am busy all the time now.

If you want that batch of materials to form combat power as quickly as possible, you have to hurry up and turn the materials into gargoyles.

After just one night, the eighty gargoyles outside the war workshop had begun to take shape.

That's the benefit of a war-free factory.

The mechanics saved Su Lun so little time.

The gargoyle used to be purely handcrafted by myself, which took a lot of time and energy.

But now there is no mechanical assembly line, and with a set of Jingdiao molds, eighty gargoyles can be molded at a slow speed with almost no error. Moreover, most of the basic rune engraving, coating, and installation of mana components can be done by machines.

But the most important low-level rune inscriptions had to be inscribed by Su Lun himself, and these compound eighth- and first-level runes could be completed mechanically.

That was a time-consuming and laborious job.

When I was young, the motorcycle had already driven out of the city.

The small land inside was pitch white.

There are no roads in the city at all, a muddy wilderness.

It is not because Mafa has the financial resources to build roads, but because the locomotive transformation in the imperial capital is too developed. Is there any road that can withstand the toss of these steel monsters.

If it's paved, it's rotten, and it just keeps rotten.

On the contrary, the bad road made these motorcycle modification parties even more satisfied.

Because it's time to compete in the performance of locomotives.

It was only a short time since I left the city, and I saw that the lights in the wilderness became less and less. Here are the mechanics coming from all over the city to go to the party.

Drag racing is also a custom.

A group of people yelled and yelled, racing all the way in the wilderness, the speed was so slow that they flew.

After Bao Bo heard that it was not an hour's drive from the meeting place, he thought it was dozens of kilometers away.

Only now do I know that my judgment was wrong.

According to the one-hour drive at that speed, at most two to eight hundred kilometers away!

The driving skills of No. 14 were very good, and the locomotive was well modified. Su Lun almost felt too bumpy along the way.

Yes, there are as many bumps as there are bumps, but the number of take-offs is quite high.

The cliff of tens of meters, said to rush, and then the steam boiler jet rushed and landed smoothly.

Su Lun also saw the madness of Mafa's group towards mechanical modification.

Although that speed is the best for me, but these 17th-level special mechanics are very tragic.

What is the concept of a motorcycle crashing at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour?

Even the mechanical body is a pile of patties mixed with steel and flesh.

Fortunately, as long as they died suddenly on the spot, it would be a small problem for the group of mechanical blasters.

That is also one of the most important reasons why mechanical prosthetic modification is so popular in Mafa.

Drove the car for half an hour.

Gradually, Qi Zhou's lights became less and less.

All kinds of motorcycle parties, armored car parties, and traffic flow converge.

Wheel type, crawler type, Zerg type with few legs, two-legged mechanical giant... all kinds of strange vehicles have appeared.

Bao Bo has really seen the level of Mafa folk machinery.

However, the more shocking thing is yet to come.

Near the field of vision, under a pitch-white wasteland, it seems that no one has lit a "bonfire".

But as the locomotive approached, Su Luna could see clearly that the bonfire was the gathering place.

Dozens of small steam castles emitting billowing white smoke were pieced together to form a huge mechanical town.

A mobile city that is completely made up of mechanical castles!

The lights outside the town are bright, and there are many figures, a quiet and prosperous scene.

Arriving at the destination, No. 14 parked the motorcycle in a special parking area.

There are already hundreds of motorcycles parked outside.

Su Lun raised his head and looked at these mechanical castles that were as low as a city wall, not as low as eighty or seventy floors, and his eyes flickered.

The rusty steel plates are spliced ​​together by thick and small rivets, the huge turret looks like the ferocious fangs of the steel monster, the sparse boiler pipes are billowing with thick smoke, and the roar of the giant steam boiler Mania is stop. On the other side of the rough mechanical castles, the octagonal spire outside the traditional buildings of the Marfa Empire is still preserved, which is very distinctive.

The name of the mottled paint sprayed under each mechanical castle [Nathan’s Moving Castle], [Wanderer’s Shelter], [White Water Adventure Group GT-003], [Thomson Chamber of Commerce’s Mechanical Modification Shop].

Seeing those names, Su Lun knew the origin and purpose of those mechanical castles.

I thought of my blueprint of [Sky Battle Fortress].

If possible, when I come to Marfa that time, I also want to recruit a group of top mechanics for my war workshop.

Seeing that Su Lun was interested in mechanical castles, No. 14 also explained: "Those mechanical castles belong to small adventure groups, non-governmental organizations, and chambers of commerce. Because there are many wanted criminals, wanderers, exiles, and freelance mechanics." What, we are convenient to leave the city, so we hate getting together at that kind of party."

Speaking of that, you paused for a while, and then said: "Don't underestimate those folk mechanics, many of them are even low-handed. They are the top mechanics in the empire."

"oh?"

Hearing the second half of the sentence, Bao Bo still felt that it was abnormal, but the first half of the sentence made sense.

That kind of folk gathering is quiet and silent, and the specifications are low at first glance. How can top mechanics come to patronize?

No. 14 looked at my puzzled expression and explained: "At that kind of party, there are often good things that few adventurers come from ancient ruins. Therefore, low-level mechanics without mechanic unions often come to find treasures."

Su Lun: "Will people from the Mechanical Union come there?"

No. 14: "That's right, it's not that everyone hates fighting. The Mechanical Alchemy Union is a union of free mechanics. The rally was actually organized behind the union's back. The top mechanics of the union are not inferior at all. Machinist Fang’s scientific research madmen are mostly professors and tutors of the Royal Academy.”

Although Su Lun knew some information, he listened with interest: "The mechanic union is so powerful?"

"Yes. The Mechanics Union has a very low status in Marfa."

No. 14 smiled, and introduced the historical origin of the phenomenon, saying: "The overthrow of the old Marfa Empire was actually led by two little mechanical masters. One of them, Quinton J. Hawes, was Ma The founding emperor of the French Mechanical Empire; there is no one else who is the young master Lucien Pepys, the first generation president who established the "Mechanical Alchemy Union". The two are brothers and sisters. Before the establishment of the empire, one went to govern the country. , One is devoted to the purely academic field. So much so that the Alchemy Guild has the highest status in the empire and has very little voice."

"oh."

When Su Lun listened, it suddenly dawned on him.

The people I came into contact with afterwards were all news from the Marfa military, but now that I look at it, I realize that there are so few nonsense among the people.

No. 14 said again: "Let's go, you guys go back and have a look. If you want to trade some extraordinary information, it's a better place than Baishi outside the city. And if luck and vision are wrong, you can find good things."

Su Lun nodded.

Although it is an illegal gathering, it is actually an official and default exchange activity for folk mechanics.

It's because of something else, but because some freelance mechanics are just too safe.

Without the existence of the mechanical alchemy union, the mechanical technology of the folk is not necessarily inferior to that of the military, but the direction of research is the same.

In layman's terms, there are very few "little folk gods".

Some crazy scientists will modify their mechanical bodies with some very safe functions, and they hate the most extreme experiment of blowing up a few blocks, and they often break out due to transactions, and the movements make it look like a small one. Same as war.

There have been several accidents in the imperial capital, and the lessons have been painful.

So the officials drove these security elements to the suburbs.

But we also have no need to trade items, exchange academics and intelligence.

Gradually there will be no such gatherings.

No. 14 led Su Lun from a mechanical gondola and retreated into the mechanical town.

It is the most peaceful and tranquil.

Except for the spacious streets inside the mechanical castle, it is completely a silent town.

Outside the imperial capital, it is common to see strange people. But outside of that, almost 100% are fans of mechanical prosthetic modification!

Those people have a strong punk style of clothing, colorful cockscombs, lip rings and nose rings, smoky makeup, leather jackets with spikes, and mechanical prosthetics

Few men are very timid in wearing it. This kind of fully transparent raincoat can be regarded as clothing.

As rumored, Mafa's gender concept is also very open.

Bao Bo sensed that there were at least tens of thousands of people in that party.

The two walked around together.

It is forbidden to set up stalls outside the machine town, and all kinds of big traders carefully pull a piece of cloth and spread it on the ground, and then display their goods.

Nothing for sale.

Mechanical limbs, blueprints, treasure maps, ores, fuel, Warcraft materials, firearms.

Su Lun walked all the way, and indeed found very few boring things.

【TL-767 Eight-cylinder Steam Boiler】【Vulcan Ⅳ Catapult Arm】【Max Seventh Generation Laser Cut Prosthetic Eye】.

Most of the seventh-hand military obsolete second-hand products are all low-tech that crush Lu Ying.

It is also the most popular item in the market.

Because the quality of military industry is low and stable, it is more suitable for transformation.

Moreover, the traditional professionals of Mafa have already fallen, so there are very few treasures needed by traditional alchemy, and they are popular outside.

Bao Bo walked all the way, and found such a good thing at a very ugly price.

The area of ​​the assembly town assembled by the mechanical castle is small, but with more than ten floors, it is the most intricate, and it is enough to go around in a few large ones.

Outside the steel cage in the center of the town, boxers with modified robotic arms were fighting, attracting Qi Zhou to yell.

In the silence, No. 14 and Su Lun, who were mixed in the crowd, went all the way down to the intelligence merchant.

Sure enough, we saw this million-dollar reward.

And the pattern under the reward is exactly [Bao Chanluosi Shards]!

The two walked around the intelligence merchant's place, and walked up to see if they had revealed anything.

Walking down the iron stairs, Bao Bo had a look of playfulness in his eyes, and pondered in his heart: "It turns out that the broken pattern looks like this before the pieces are put together."

Seeing the million rewards offered, I became more and more sure that the benefactor in front of the scene was someone from the plane of the gods.

Because if I saw the reward pattern, even I would know how the broken pieces outside my hand look like.

Su Lun wanted to take the initiative to expose, so he wandered outside the market with No. 14, shopping.

I am also worried.

Because I guess, since people from the plane of the gods are offering rewards, it is certain that no one is waiting for news in the distance.

And the kind of good things like "a million rewards" are definitely people who have no good things.

If you care about the real news and the fake news, no one will try it.

People from the plane of the gods will definitely come to deal with it.

Just wait.

Sure enough!

After waiting for a while, two people wearing cloaks quietly retreated into the market and went back to the intelligence merchant.

Almost at the moment when the two of them approached the range of perception, Su Lun, who was digging out things at the stall, sensed us keenly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in his heart: "It really is here!"

Mechanical warriors are generally of a very high rank, and their soul fluctuations are generally at the level of a seventh-rank professional. But magicians also have to learn spiritual power, so the soul fluctuations of a first-order magician are like a lighthouse in the white night outside the machinery market, and they can be identified immediately.

The fourteenth caught Su Lun's strange moment, and also guessed that you had received useless news.

The two said something and continued to hang out.

More than half an hour ago, Bao Bo sensed that these two people had left the market.

I thought about it, and said to No. 14 next to me: "We're leaving. You go."

That's a good chance.

Su Lun also wanted to know what information the Celestial Gods had outside their hands these days, and why they were looking for the [Ouroboros Fragment].

Listening to my tone, No. 14 seemed to want to go alone, so he frowned and asked, "Is the enemy weak?"

Su Lun said: "Two first-order magicians."

"level one?"

No. 14 frowned when he heard that, that was a very weak enemy.

At most, you think you have any chance of winning.

Let alone two.

That made you even more confused, so you casually asked, "Is he not sure?"

Bao Bo said fiercely: "If the enemy has any ordinary abilities, the problem is small."

Hearing that, Number Fourteen looked at Su Lun with a strange look in his eyes.

Although I read the news from the newspaper, I know that my partners have become very weak. But the understatement of "the problem is small" makes you feel as if something is wrong.

The enemy is two "first order"!

You asked, "What level is he now?"

Su Lun said casually, "The eighth step."

Hearing this, No. 14 glanced at me, and his eyes became more and more strange.

Thanks to 'Flame Red Snow' and 'Happy Bad Guy' for their support.
