Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 519: Library Ghost

After soaking in the hot spring and washing away the dust, Su Lun took Mr. Jing back to the World of Warcraft Forest.

After all, my senior sister is better at negotiating, not to mention she is also the leader of Liming.

She met with the dwarf king Barrel Beo, and carefully talked about the pros and cons and the future of civilization. Anyway, the mountain dwarves agreed to restart the covenant without much hesitation.

However, the dwarves only agreed to form an alliance with Dawn and did not trust other humans.

Fortunately, Su Lun's Small Void Realm has recently been exaggerated enough to accommodate them temporarily.

Except that there is no vein to dig, everything else is pretty good.

This group of dwarves who don't like war just beat and beat in the small void world, still living their isolated life like before.

Of course, he also helped Su Lun forge a gargoyle by the way.

As for the treasures accumulated by the dwarves for countless years, all of them were temporarily collected in the Small Void Realm of Su Lun.

All kinds of ores, treasures, forging equipment, magic equipment, and even a forge the size of a mountain were moved in.

It can't be said that they all belong to Su Lun, but if you really want to use them, you can borrow them.

He also felt very good, and the small void world became lively.

The dwarves moved too many things, and it took two days to clean them up.

Qianjo went to the seaside and gathered the people of the dawn group to get enough supplies to go to Long Island for an adventure; Mr. Jing returned to the vicinity of the plane passage in Zambula Iron Falls Province.

On the third day, Su Lun teleported back to Capitoline, the capital of the Marfa Emperor.

Su Lun originally planned to ask Dora about the alchemy manuscript, buy some large mechanical workshops, and recruit some mechanics.

But after I went there and asked, I found out that Miss Roupiao was also on the front line of the battlefield and would have to wait two days before returning.

Su Lun doesn't have any other acquaintances in Marfa. Buying large-scale equipment, recruiting mechanics, etc., buying it by himself is far worse than waiting for an acquaintance to introduce it, and it will be less troublesome.

And it's not just a stranger, regardless of the identity of "Reaper" or "Fick", they are all important wanted criminals of the Marfa royal family.

It's not good to be too flamboyant.

He followed No. 19 to various material markets to buy some scarce materials.

Carbitone is the capital of machinery, with countless materials. Almost every urban area has a large machinery market, and the market size is hundreds or thousands of times that of Luying. As long as you can afford the price, almost all materials can be bought.

After waiting for a few days, that Miss Dora finally sent a message saying that she was about to return to the imperial capital.

On this day, Su Lun and No. 19 hung out at the Mafa Royal Institute of Mechanics.

It was agreed to meet with the meat ticket lady here.

The two of them were walking on the campus, and it was bustling here too.

Because of the plane war, the students on campus were all passionate. There were still some Mafa Peace Mechanics who were unwilling to fight Lu Ying before, but now that the plane is invading, almost all of them are mobilized. Recruitment slogans and parades mobilizing alumni to fight on the front lines can be seen everywhere.

Unlike the students in Luying Royal Academy who are either rich or noble, the mechanics here can't see the rich and the poor, but they all have the light of mechanical alchemy in their eyes.

The campus has a long boulevard lined with giant steel sculptures.

All of Lu Ying's sculptures commemorate a certain "great" nobleman.

And the sculptures in the Marfa campus must all be top mechanics in a certain field.

The life and important patented inventions of those mechanics are engraved under the sculpture.

Seeing Su Lun walking on this road, he was also quite emotional.

No wonder Mafa Mechanism has rejuvenated the country for more than a hundred years, but it is so powerful. In contrast, the previous Lu Ying was really decadent. I don't know what the future will be like under Ekaterina's drastic reforms.

As the two walked, No. 19 also introduced some information about the School of Mechanical Engineering along the way.

She's been here all these years

Thinking of something, she asked casually, "Su Lun, do you have a student at the Royal Academy of Mechanics?"

Su Lun nodded: "Yes. Jike is a genius blaster. He didn't have the conditions to learn and grow in Luying, so he sent Mafa."

He didn't intend to disturb this disciple's study, nor did he intend to let people know that Ji Ke was his disciple.

But I didn't want to, when No. 19 heard it, his expression changed slightly: "Jike James? That genius freshman in the ammunition department?"

Su Lun was also a little surprised when he heard it, "Have you heard of it?"

"certainly."

No. 19 seemed to think of something, and his expression was a little emotional. He said, "As long as there is a talented mechanic in the academy, he will be treated like a star. When I was studying ammunition, I heard people say that there was a mechanic in the academy. A very powerful freshman, he has made a lot of amazing explosives in just a few months. Of course, he is most famous because he made a special explosive that blew up the explosion-proof laboratory of the college .Then the whole school knows about this newcomer."

Su Lun laughed.

When he was in Lu Ying, Jike blew up the laboratory several times, and was regarded as an alternative at that time.

I didn't expect to be here, but I became a star student.

The two chatted while walking, and after a while, they came to the Marfa Library.

This is a very large building. The part on the ground is an all-steel frame and glass structure, which seems to shine brightly in the sun and looks very beautiful.

The academic atmosphere of library management is excellent, and there are many students who borrow classics.

Every corner of the bookshelf is almost full of people.

Su Lun and the others walked in, sat in an inconspicuous place, chatted and waited for Dora to come.

On the 19th, he continued to introduce: "The academy library was established by Grandmaster Lucien Pepys. After he founded the 'Mechanical Alchemy Union', he devoted the rest of his life to founding the Royal Academy. The library was also his lifelong institution. Efforts. So there have been legends for a hundred years that when you study in the library, you will get the soul blessing of Master Lucien when you encounter difficulties occasionally, which is enlightening."

Su Lun: "Soul blessing?"

No. 19 said: "Yes. It is said that more than one person has encountered it. Many famous machinists in the Marfa Empire have similar experiences when they were young and studying in the academy. The students all said, This is a library blessed by the mechanical ancestors. Only the top genius students will be blessed by the "Ghost of the Library". Of course, because of this legend, many sensationalists say that they have been blessed. "

"oh?"

When Su Lun heard this, he felt more serious in his heart.

For an alchemist, there must be a reason beneath all appearances.

If this inexplicable "soul blessing" is true, then there must be a reason.

And coincidentally, he himself is an expert in souls.

Quietly, holding the black umbrella in his hand, he felt it slightly, but he didn't find any soul fluctuations.

However, the structure of the library is indeed quite complicated.

In addition to the huge surface buildings, there is space hundreds of meters underground, where some laboratories of the college are located.

The two waited for a while, and the time just arrived at the agreed two o'clock.

At this moment, a girl in casual clothes appeared at the library door on time.

Although the appearance had changed, Su Lun still recognized the Miss Roupiao at first sight.

Dora also saw Su Lun and walked over.

Su Lun didn't pretend not to know each other, and said hello, "Colonel Dora, long time no see."

Dora, on the other hand, seemed to be angry and businesslike, and said first: "On behalf of the Marfa Army, thank you for the information you provided."

Su Lun was taken aback.

Although the two are not very familiar with each other, they are not so familiar.

"Please sit down."

After saying hello, he noticed something, and asked directly: "Colonel Dora, there is no misunderstanding between us, right?"

Dora didn't want to say it at first, but seeing this abominable guy still pretending to be innocent, she couldn't get angry.

She then said coldly: "Your Excellency is clever enough. Now that your wife has become the Emperor of Lu Ying, we in Mafa immediately have a voice, asking us to abandon our hatred and unite to fight against foreign enemies. Some even said that we would welcome the Royal Family of Regardi Returning to the country. Although I think it’s right to do this politically, but now that the enemy of the plane invasion is in front of us, can we use less of these political means and let everyone unanimously speak out?”

"???"

When Su Lun heard this, he realized why Miss Roupiao was filled with anger.

It turned out that it was Yekaterina who became emperor.

Su Lun had thought of it before, and Ekaterina chose the Regardi family as a springboard, and her eyes were not just looking at Lu Yingying.

The status of the Regadi family is very special, because it used to be the down-and-out royal family of Mafa.

The Mafa and Luying empires have fought for hundreds of years, and it is absolutely impossible for the authorities to reconcile. They are willing, and the families of the soldiers who died in battle will definitely not be willing.

But it is very delicate to have such a royal family from a hundred years ago to reconcile.

If an old royal family of Mafa becomes the new emperor of Lu Ying, then the people of Mafa Empire can accept being their own emperor at the inner level.

From this point of view, when Ekaterina started from the layout, the goal included the Marfa Empire.

Maybe he wants to become the only monarch who unifies the two empires?

It was just a sudden plane invasion.

But this layout was before the invasion. As far as Su Lun knew, it was not necessarily Ye who paid attention. Such a proud person, even if he has calculations, would definitely not do such a despicable move.

There is a high probability that those old things of the Regadi family are anxious to return to the country. After all, they haven't done nothing in the past two hundred years, and there are still many remnants of the old era in Marfa. Now that there is hope, it is natural to make a big move.

But everything is guesswork.

Whatever the truth is, it has nothing to do with me.

Su Lun chuckled, and defended himself, "Believe it or not, this matter has nothing to do with me. I have no interest in politics. Besides, I am Su Lun of Dawn, and the 'Fick' of Regadi will never appear gone."

"."

Dora frowned.

Hearing this, she took a careful look at Su Lun with scrutiny, as if she had used some method to confirm that he was not lying. The anger between the brows dissipated a little.

But she still complained: "Meeting you is never a good thing."

Su Lun didn't care at all. After all, the sequelae of kidnapping had not been completely eliminated.

He directly changed the subject and asked, "How's the battle going on at the front?"

Dora's face has returned to normal, and she responded: "The battle situation is very tragic. But at present, it is still controllable. It is impossible to completely solve the problem. The defensive barrier arranged by the ninth-level magic tower has not yet been Research out a way to break through. And as time goes by, the channel of the plane becomes more and more stable, and the enemy's top magician will also come."

As she spoke, the worry on her face remained undiminished.

Su Lun knew this situation before, and it was indeed not optimistic.

After all, the plane of the gods is higher than the broken plane of alchemy by an unknown number of levels of combat power.

Just like elephants are to ants, they have the ability to crush.

So far, there really seems to be no way to stop it.

After Mr. Jing's calculations, he found that it is possible that people on the alchemy plane are qualified to walk out of the plane before they can find a solution to the problem.

"However, thank you for your organization's support. Especially Mr. Jing, the military department also hopes to cooperate with you at Liming."

Speaking of the war, Dora also showed a look of fatigue on her face.

She didn't say much about this depressing topic, and instead said: "Just don't think about that Isaac manuscript for the time being. After your wife proclaimed the emperor, all kinds of old-fashioned rebellious parties have emerged recently. Now His Majesty the Emperor has doubts about your motives. Even if I am willing to trust you, it is impossible to get it in a short time."

"Um."

Su Lun's expression didn't change when he heard this.

Right now he is planning to go to Dragon Island, and it is not too urgent to get this notebook from the royal family of Marfa.

He thought about it, and said: "One more thing is, I need some mechanics to help me make some mechanical castle accessories."

Dora remembered that the two had mentioned this before, so she asked directly, "Where's the drawing?"

Su Lun took out part of the drawings of [Sky Battle Fortress].

Dora's gaze was immediately attracted by the exquisite design drawing. As a mechanical master, she recognized it after a while, and exclaimed: "Lu Ying's Gusmao airship blueprint? You actually have This thing?!"

As she said that, she suddenly seemed to think of something, and she pursed her lips and changed her words: "Oh, I almost forgot. Her Majesty the Empress Lu Ying is your wife."

Su Lun felt a little helpless when he heard the obvious insinuation.

The airship was indeed given by Ekaterina, but the blueprint was his own.

He didn't explain much, just asked: "Can Mafa manufacture these mechanical castle parts at present?"

Although he has the [Energy Core of the Goblin Sky Castle], Lu Ying's mechanical technology cannot restore the super-high pressure steam-powered boiler of the Sky Castle on the blueprint.

Dora didn't answer in a hurry, looked carefully at a few drawings, and then said: "Most of them are fine."

She turned her eyes after reading the blueprint, and seemed to think of something, then looked at Su Lun and said, "This blueprint should be a very old goblin mechanical castle. I read it right. Lu Ying's Gusmao airship is this It was imitated according to this blueprint. But to drive such a huge mechanical city to fly in the sky, the power required is very terrifying, which cannot be supported by the current technology, so Lu Yingcai imitated some clumsy airships."

Speaking of which, she saw Su Lun, and seemed to guess that he had key components in his hand.

But deliberately did not mention.

so smart!

Su Lun also saw her thoughts from her eyes.

Mr. Hei also asserted before that this Miss Roupiao is extremely intelligent, except for her lack of age and experience, she will definitely be able to stand at the top of the world's pyramid in the future.

Dora thought for a moment and then said: "Can you sell me this blueprint? Any conditions can be negotiated."

Speaking of this, she also knew that her words seemed a bit abrupt, and quickly explained: "I mean, even if we can't build a sky battle castle, we can transform the blueprint into a mechanical castle for land or sea! It is definitely a great weapon to resist those plane invaders."

Su Lun was not too surprised when he heard this, and responded: "Yes! But I only have one request. This blueprint must not be used in the war between the two empires of Marfa and Luying. If you can guarantee this, I can send it to you. Here are the drawings for you."

"."

Hearing this, Dora immediately fell silent.

She can't guarantee it.

Even if the military department comes forward, there is no guarantee.

Although Marfa has no traditional nobles, the internal situation is not much better than that of Luying.

After fighting all the year round, the major arms dealers already have the absolute power to influence politics, and they are huge monsters that their military departments are often helpless.

They are greedy, ignorant, selfish, and monopolize technology. Most of the time, they only care about their own interests, without taking into account the overall situation.

If possible, the arms dealers would like the whole world to be at war forever.

Sometimes Dora also hated those arms dealers.

Su Lun looked at Dora's expression in a dilemma,

But at this time, a strange color suddenly flashed across his eyes, because he found that a very slight soul wave appeared just now.

Spotted and then disappeared immediately.

"Hey, is there really a spirit body in this library?"

Su Lun let out a small sigh in his heart, and his mind fell into thinking.

The way this spirit appeared was very special, unlike any one I had seen before. Does it feel like the whole library is it?

He knew that Dora couldn't make a guarantee, so there must be no result for this blueprint transaction.

Unsurprisingly, Dora responded with regret on her face: "Sorry, I can't guarantee that."

Su Lun also felt that this topic could be skipped.

Unexpectedly, Dora changed the topic and asked a new question: "But can I participate in the construction of this mechanical city as a private person?"

Su Lun stared blankly when he heard this.

What he was thinking about was not Miss Roupiao's words, but something else.

Could it be that the spirit body communicated to her just now?

So the spirit body has subjective consciousness? "

Su Lun looked at Dora calmly, and asked, "What do you think? Colonel Dora."

Dora also knew that it would not be convincing for her, Senior Colonel Marfa, to say this, after all, she still had a "conviction" as a spy, and said: "If you don't trust me, I can have some exchange conditions, such as signing a contract. Don't worry, my mechanical skills are definitely not bad, and I also need this blueprint."

She was sure that the guy in front of her had a complete blueprint and some key components.

So even if it is copied, it is not as good as the one in his hand.

Su Lun was not in a hurry to refuse, but asked meaningfully: "Can I ask why?"

Dora hesitated to speak, and seemed to want to explain, but after pondering for a moment, she finally shook her head and said, "Sorry, I can't tell you the reason for now. I can only guarantee that I have no malicious intentions."

"Then let me think about it."

Su Lun didn't force it, but said: "Why don't you help me with a batch of forging mechanics first? Of course, I will pay the full amount."

Dora didn't know what to say for a moment, she just said, "Okay."

The two chatted for a while, inquiring about the news.

Su Lun asked about the ghost in the library, and also asked some questions about the Isaac notebook, etc., but got no results.

And Dora also asked some questions about the No. 19 mechanical limb and Su Lun's talent

After all, he is a professional spy. He does not talk about intelligence in a sentence, but inquires about it in every sentence.

The atmosphere of chatting is not too pleasant, but it can be regarded as something for everyone.

While chatting, Su Lun sometimes put his hand on the rune black umbrella. He wanted to perceive what kind of existence the "library ghost" was.

But this move was not hidden from the shrewd Miss Roupiao.

Dora was also rude to Su Lun. Seeing him keep putting his hand on the umbrella, she finally couldn't help but choked: "Your Excellency Su Lun, do you want me to hang up your umbrella for you? Open an umbrella indoors, students They'll think you're a weirdo."

Su Lun knew that he carried a black umbrella wherever he went, and no one else would think it was an ordinary umbrella.

Hearing this obviously teasing tone, he didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "When you meet Colonel Dora, it's best to take precautions."

When Dora heard it, it seemed as if some unpleasant memory had been aroused, and she retorted: "Hmph! I wonder if you have any special talent for 'bad luck'. It's never a good thing to meet you!"

"Ah"

Su Lun recalled the previous two encounters, and it seemed that it was not very pleasant for this person.

But for himself, it was a big opportunity with a good harvest.

After teasing each other a few words, the atmosphere of the negotiation was not bad.

However, at this moment, Su Lun's eyes suddenly froze.

Seeing his sudden serious expression, Dora thought he had discovered the secret of the library, and asked a little cautiously: "What's wrong?"

Su Lun's eyes became more and more solemn, as if he was afraid of being discovered, and he didn't even dare to turn his head to look directly at what he found, and said slowly: "You may be right this time. Big trouble is coming."

Number 19 on the side also looked serious, ready to fight.

Dora also became extremely cautious when she heard this, she suddenly guessed something, and asked, "The enemy?"

There are not many people who can make the person in front of him say "big trouble".

Think about it, it must be someone from the plane of the gods.

"Um."

Su Lun didn't expect that when he released his soul perception with all his strength just now, he didn't find the ghost in the library, but found another person.

It was none other than Frank McAdam, the "Holy Son" of the Celestials who had his arm cut off in Lingdon!

Dora had never seen Su Lun look so serious, even in that "T-level" cursed space.

She asked, "What is the strength of the enemy?"

Su Lun said directly: "Very strong! Last time I teamed up with the leader of our group, we couldn't keep him. Now, the ninth-level professional may not even be able to do it."

He sensed the fluctuation of Frank's soul.

It was not so strong a few months ago, but now it is so strong that it makes people faintly palpitate.

He joined forces with Mr. Jing and Qianjo before and broke his arm in a surprise attack. Now it can be imagined.

This guy is definitely the "blockbuster" of the plane invasion.

Su Lun took a deep breath in his heart and said, "At ten o'clock, that person is one hundred and fifty meters away. Don't look directly at him, and don't try to spy on him. He is blessed by gods, and any hostility and prying eyes will be discovered. You If there is any means, hurry up and notify the top experts."

These words were not only addressed to Miss Roupiao, but also to the library ghost.

When Dora heard this, she immediately guessed that it was the wanted son.

She didn't dare to say her name, and her lips moved slightly, as if sending out some signal.

Su Lun recognized this guy, but after thinking about it for a moment, his brows suddenly relaxed.

It's no surprise that this guy came to Marfa, after all, the plane channel is here.

But what are you doing in the library of the School of Mechanical Engineering?

But no matter what, it wasn't for him to seek revenge.

Dora can become a professional spy, and her mentality is naturally not bad.

Looking at the change in Su Lun's expression, he seemed to guess his thoughts like a mind-reading skill, and couldn't help but complain: "Hey, hey, even if it's not for you, are you really going to help?"

Su Lun shrugged: "If I can help, I will help. But now I may not be able to help much."

The revenge of the broken arm last time was not small, and Su Lun didn't think it was a good choice to show up.

Being targeted by a guy who is always protected by the gods, he can guarantee that this Frank may not be killed by others, but he must be killed by someone Su!

Su Lun didn't care about Miss Roupiao's contemptuous gaze, but reminded: "Haven't you thought about it, why did he come to the library?"

"."

Dora obviously guessed something, her expression changed.

But it seemed that some top secret was involved, and she didn't dare to make a decision.

It's not surprising that a big empire has some top secrets. Su Lun didn't want to really explore it.

However, at this moment, a mysterious and distant voice suddenly came from Su Lun's mind: "Little friend, your soul is very special. If possible, I think we can get to know each other. I'm sorry I can't show up, so I can only I am wronged that you and your friends came here. Please also bring my disciples down with you."

Spiritual communication?

In an instant, Su Lun knew that it was the "library ghost" who was speaking.

What surprised him was that it was Dora's teacher?

It turned out that this was the reason why she made an appointment to meet at the library.

PS. Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass for the new month, please everyone.
