Chapter 546: Lifting the Petrification
PS. Calvin, this chapter is a little watery, and the content is as titled.
The blue sky is clear and the sea breeze is gentle.
On the rippling sea, a huge black-sailed sailboat sailed unhurriedly.
On the deck, everyone in the Dawn Regiment was busy, and the sound of knocking and knocking could be heard everywhere. The shipwrights are repairing the damaged parts of the battleship, and the mechanics are debugging and repairing the damaged artillery.
In yesterday's battle, they defeated a 10,000-strong flying dragon knight from the Silver Dragon Kingdom. The hull was slightly damaged, but they also captured a lot of spoils. At this moment, there are many people on the deck who are dealing with the killed dragons. The skin, meat and bones were separated, some were used as food, and some were alchemy materials, which were stored in different categories.
Flying dragon meat is a top-quality ingredient. It has an excellent smoked and grilled taste, and it is also rich in super high nutritional value that almost no monster can match. It is extremely beneficial to the human body. This is a rare delicacy that cannot be enjoyed elsewhere.
The crew members were immersed in the joy of harvest.
In the laboratory of the cabin, several people also gathered here.
Su Lun stripped the memory of the white-robed wizard Garcia before, and successfully configured the [Petrochemical Curse Antidote].
At this moment, he is trying to break the petrification curse of Tany's mother, Friedl.
Dr. Banks also assisted by connecting various equipment and instruments to the stone carvings. Not only to help, but he also wants to use his biological knowledge to carefully record the process of petrification reversal, which may be able to completely crack the secret of the petrification curse. After all, only one antidote has been refined, and if you encounter the same problem again, there are some scientific treatment methods.
Tani on the side looked at his mother nervously, as if her breathing was about to stop.
After preparing everything, Su Lun put Mother Taney into the container, filled it with distilled water, and then poured the refined petrochemical antidote into it.
The potion containing powerful magic power melted in the water, and a miraculous scene appeared immediately.
Friedel turned into a stone sculpture, and countless bubbles suddenly appeared in the water, as if corroded by acid, and those gray petrified layers slowly melted away.
The water gradually became cloudy, and it became difficult to see the figures inside.
Everyone became tense.
After all, Friedl has been petrified for many years, and no one knows if there will be any other changes.
Even Su Lun's eyes were slightly dignified. After all, even in the inheritance of the wizard lineage, there is no record that anyone has lifted this person who has been petrified for so long.
However, although he couldn't see the situation in the water clearly, he could feel that the fluctuation of the soul was still very stable.
The petrification curse cannot petrify the soul, but it will seal the soul in the petrified body, like a frozen sleep.
As the antidote gradually took effect, the soul also seemed to be thawed out of the ice, slowly gaining vitality.
And the data is more intuitive.
Suddenly, Dr. Banks on the side looked at the research instrument and said lightly: "There are signs of life!"
Hearing this, everyone in the laboratory was overjoyed.
Tani was even more excited and sweated in his hands.
After waiting for a long time, the water has become completely cloudy, but life fluctuations can already be seen on the instrument becoming more and more intense.
In Su Lun's perception, the soul fluctuation was no different from that of a living person.
Finally, half an hour later, in the muddy potion, the figure moved!
When the fish tail stirred slightly, a human head popped out of the water. It was a face of a pure-blooded Naga tribe with exquisite features that was seventy percent similar to Tani.
Taney called out excitedly: "Mother!"
Friedl had just been lifted from petrification, as if her memory had just awakened.
Those slightly confused eyes looked at Ta Ni and froze for a moment, then recognized it, and then his face was full of surprise: "Tani?!"
Taney looked at his mother excitedly through the glass jar, crying with joy.
After so many years of persistence, I finally waited for this day. For countless lonely days and nights, he has been by his mother who has turned into a stone sculpture, hoping that one day he can see his mother touch the curse and regain her life.
Seeing the touching scene of mother and child reuniting in front of him, Su Lun felt quite relieved.
The curse was lifted, and there seemed to be no sequelae, so he was also relieved.
After all, Friedl didn't have any clothes on, and he didn't keep much, so he avoided suspicion and said, "I'm going out first, Tatu, please help Taney to see what her mother needs."
Tatu nodded: "Yes."
Su Lun left the cabin and came to the deck.
At the bow, a large group of people were gathered there, listening to an old man wrapped in bandages explaining the way of swordsmanship.
The old man was naturally "Dragon Hunter" Bartolo Figaro who came back to life. Because he was sent to the Small Void Realm in time, and with the treatment of Dr. Banks, he also successfully suppressed the distortion of his body.
The vitality of top-level professionals is extremely tenacious. Even if he suffered such a serious injury yesterday, Bartolo can still walk around on the ground today.
And because the captain of Qianjo is a swordsman, there are quite a lot of professional swordsmen in the Dawn Regiment. After finally meeting a legendary "Sword God", everyone naturally would not miss this opportunity to ask for advice.
As soon as Bartolo came out, he was surrounded by everyone on the deck to ask for advice.
Even if it is thousands of articles, I am very interested in listening to them.
Bartolo is also enjoying it.
He hadn't felt such excitement for many years, and these messages from friends in his hometown gave him a very cordial feeling.
He is also very happy to pass on his kendo at the end of his life.
Su Lun also walked over without disturbing, and listened for a while.
Even if he is not a professional swordsman, many high-level things can be understood by analogy, and he has a deep feeling.
"Senior Bartolo, is there any trick to comprehend the sword intent?"
"There is nothing but fighting. Swordsman is a profession born for killing. No matter how gorgeous the rhetoric is to exaggerate your behavior, swordsman is killing. Only when you grow up and keep your heart in killing, can you understand more easily. own sword intent."
"."
Su Lunan listened quietly for a while without interruption.
After Bartolo finished speaking and the crowd dispersed, he walked over.
Lolotta saw him first, and shouted enthusiastically: "Mr. Su Lun!"
Su Lun nodded with a smile.
The girl seemed to have a lot of insights, she didn't stop, she held her sword and said eagerly: "I'm going to the sword gym to practice swords, teacher, Mr. Su Lun, and senior Bartolo, goodbye~"
Bartolo looked at the back of Lolotta jumping away, his old face was full of smiles, and he praised: "He is a good seed in the way of swordsmanship."
As he spoke, deep emotion appeared in his eyes.
Seeing the Dawn Regiment now, he seemed to see the Black Sam Regiment back then.
Full of vigor, everyone is sailing towards their dreams.
Su Lun greeted with a smile: "Senior, are you still used to life on a boat?"
Bartolo always had a smile on his face, and said, "Although I haven't been on a real sea boat for decades, I'm not used to it."
Not only did he not get used to it, but it made him feel that he had regained his youthful feeling.
Su Lun also felt that it would be good for the old sword god to get used to it. With this top swordsman on board, the strength of the Liming regiment would have skyrocketed again. He looked at the bandage wrapped around Bartolo's left arm again, and asked, "How is your injury, senior?"
Bartolo raised his hand, indicating that there is no serious problem: "It's just a small injury."
As he said that, he said with emotion: "The times are really different. I didn't expect that the distortion can be suppressed in the later stage."
I thought that his final ending would be out of control and he would die of distortion, but he didn't expect that in the Dawn Mission, there was actually a biological laboratory that could successfully suppress the distortion.
On the Eternal Night, Bartolo's emotion has never stopped, the ship, artillery, personnel, technology... everything is very different from thirty years ago.
He looked at Su Lun with a little complicated eyes.
I saw that unbelievable puppet army yesterday, and I thought this was already a miraculous young man.
Seeing the Small Void Realm again, he really didn't know how to describe his shock.
This dawn group is really like the momentary light that brings hope to civilization in the dark night.
For the first time in decades, he had such a strong will. He felt that this old bone of his should really live a few more years, and also contribute a little bit of his own power to the civilized war.
Knowing that Su Lun was concocting petrochemical potions, he asked, "How is Miss Friedell doing?"
Su Lun said: "The curse has been successfully reversed, and the situation is good."
Bartolo also looked happy when he heard that.
Not long after speaking, several people walked onto the deck.
Tani supported his mother, while Tatu followed.
Seeing Su Lun and the others, Tani walked over excitedly and saluted: "Mr. Su Lun! Thank you for saving my mother!"
Su Lun smiled nonchalantly: "You don't need to be so polite. We are partners. Besides, it's not due to me alone. Being here is the result of your adventure and hard work with everyone."
This is what he promised Taney when he recruited Taney to board the ship in the pirate city of Hastling.
Now that I have done it, I have realized a wish.
On the deck, when they saw Tani and the others coming out, they also surrounded them.
There were only tears in Tani's eyes at the moment, and he also saluted everyone: "Thank you, all partners!"
Everyone smiled kindly.
They all knew about the petrification curse, and they were happy to see Friedel alive, but they were more amazed.
Friedel's age was considered middle-aged among humans, but he didn't look old at all. The blood of the Naga people gave her the delicate skin of a girl, and the intellectual beauty of a mature woman in her eyes.
Everyone couldn't help admiring: "Mrs. Friedl is so beautiful!"
Friedel also responded with a gentle smile.
Although she still doesn't know exactly what happened to her petrification these years, she also knows that everyone in front of her saved her, especially the "Mr. Su Lun" that her son keeps mentioning.
She bowed and said sincerely to everyone, "Thank you everyone."
How could Su Lun dare to accept such a big gift, and quickly helped him up.
At this time, Bartolo on the side also said in a very emotional tone: "Miss Friedell, long time no see."
Friedel looked at the gray-haired old man, thought for a moment, then looked at the saber at his waist, then remembered something, and exclaimed, "Mr. Saito?"
Bartolo said bitterly, "Yes."
Neither of them expected that they could see their old friend from nearly thirty years ago.
Seeing the "missing" old man, Friedel asked a few questions about the Black Sams with great anticipation, but she got an answer that disappointed her.
After all, the last sliver of hope is gone.
However, seeing his son grow up, Friedel was also satisfied in his eyes.
Su Lun asked Friedel and confirmed that she could indeed seal the [Rainbow Well] on Rainbow Island, and she was overjoyed.
But she just recovered from petrification and her body is still very weak, and she still needs time to recover, so Su Lun was not in a hurry to leave.
The sea boat sailed all the way south, and the destination was Rainbow Island where the mage of the god plane was stationed.
In the evening, a grand banquet was held on the Eternal Night to celebrate the victory of yesterday's battle, welcome the sword god Bartolo, and celebrate the lifting of the curse of Tany's mother Friedl
Lately it's been a happy event, and it's worth celebrating.
After drinking and eating, Su Lun returned to the cabin.
After yesterday's battle, although I destroyed the plan of the Heavenly God Plane in the Yinlong Kingdom, there are still many hidden dangers that have not been eliminated.
For example, those forces in the Silver Dragon Kingdom originally believed in the plane of the gods.
Killing a Garcia is not enough.
He knew that there were many more.
Not only in the Silver Dragon Kingdom, but also in the two kingdoms of Pania and Akatiser, there are also many believers in the gods.
Although these believers of the gods are not mainstream at present, with the stabilization of the channel of the plane and the will of the gods of the plane of the gods can come, the belief will spread rapidly like a plague, and the group of believers will become larger and larger.
At that time, the three kingdoms of the Dragon Kingdom will sooner or later become the kingdom of some gods.
It might have spread by now.
People in the sea area of the Dragon Kingdom have believed in gods for countless years. People believe in various false gods and many fallen gods.
It is also impossible for Su Lun to change this deep-rooted custom and let people study alchemy. But you can't just watch these people become believers in the gods and become enemies.
So, he thought of a way.
Only magic can defeat magic.
Only faith can fight against faith.
Su Lun thought of someone who could solve this problem.
That is Pandora.
For things like stealing beliefs, that guy is perfect.
Thinking of this, Su Lun immediately set up a summoning formation in the captain's room.
I used the communicator to ask Pandora who was far away in the four countries of Beizhou, and she was also happy to help. Faith is also an indispensable source of strength for her.
Ultra-long-distance summoning requires a lot of energy, but fortunately, Su Lun has all kinds of crystal nuclei in his hands now.
Not long after, he arranged a super-large summoning formation.
Pandora's "sacred object" was placed in the center of the summoning formation in Su Lun's small void. When the magician pinched it, the light of the formation lit up and the connection was established.
Not long after, a figure slowly solidified in the alchemy formation.
Summoning the will doesn't need to be so troublesome, this time he summoned Pandora's body.
A few minutes later, the light of the waiting alchemy array dissipated, and Pandora had already appeared, descending in the form of a Tsukuyomi master.
In the alchemy formation, she was wearing a magic robe condensed with moonlight, her hair was windless and flowing, and her eyes were shining brightly, showing a kind of indifference and arrogance that despised the world's creatures. She floated in mid-air with bare feet, and she couldn't feel any mortal aura from her whole body, she was completely a god on high.
Su Lun's eyes froze slightly.
He has seen the scene of the will of the gods descending many times, and now watching the descending of Pandora, it is getting closer and closer.
Su Lun murmured in his heart: "It has become very strong."
After the last Lingdun catastrophe, Pandora absorbed too much power of faith, and now it seems to be completely digested. Now her strength has reached an unpredictable state.
However, the indifference on Pandora's expression only lasted for a moment. She caught Su Lun's slightly shocked gaze, and the corner of her mouth raised slightly: "Why, don't you know me?"
With a charming smile on the corner of his brow, the feeling of repelling others thousands of miles away disappeared in an instant.
After becoming an ally, Su Lun also knew that Pandora's character was the kind of person who was easy to get along with.
He looked at and greeted: "Long time no see, Miss Pandora."
As he spoke, he pointed to the sofa and said, "Please sit down."
Pandora fell to the ground, and the illusory divine power on her body was completely restrained. She also disappeared, stepped on the floor with her bare feet, and sat on the sofa.
For some reason, Su Lun always felt that her supernatural power seemed to have a strange attraction to her eyes.
Looking at Su Lun's gaze on his robe, Pandora explained again: "Just now I subdued a few ghost kings in Shanyin, and I haven't had time to change the robe I'm wearing."
Su Lun smiled slightly, but said nothing.
Take a second look, just because this dress is really special, because it contains a strong power of gods and ghosts.
If you're not mistaken, this is woven from the [Golden Fleece] he gave you before.
When they met, the two chatted casually.
Suddenly, Pandora thought of something, and said in a slightly joking tone: "Oh, I met your old friend a few days ago, that Miko Miko who is a god. In order to fight for an ancient shrine, she and one of my subordinates had a little A small friction, a fight."
Hearing this familiar name, Su Lun immediately thought of the girl in the red and white witch costume.
We used to suffer together, so naturally we don't want to see our friends get hurt.
Before he could ask, Pandora said with a slightly teasing tone: "Don't worry, she's fine now. No ghost will really hurt her."
After hearing this, Su Lun didn't say anything, and went straight to the point, and said straight to the point: "I just told you briefly that I need your help to steal the faith. The current situation of the three kings of the Dragon Kingdom is like this."
He couldn't explain clearly in the communication before, but now in person, he explained all the information he got in detail, especially about the plane of the gods.
With this information, Pandora will be able to better grasp the situation of the gods that people in this sea area believe in, and it will also allow her to plan to steal beliefs as soon as possible to completely solve the problem.
Although Pandora also attached great importance to this situation in her heart, her expression was lazy.
She just lay back on the sofa, listening with a bored expression on her face.
Occasionally, I will change to a comfortable position, half lying and half sitting.
Su Lun was sitting directly opposite her. Shanyin's baggy clothes were not very good at covering up, and Pandora's moon-reading robes were even worse.
She didn't wear a lining, and when she leaned over, she could always catch a glimpse of the depth; the robe was very loose, and when she raised her legs and crossed them, she could always see her big white thighs.
Probably because she felt that she had seen everything this time, but she didn't seem to mind at all.
Sensing the faint influence of divine power, Su Lun did not forget the predicament of being teased last time, and kept his eyes fixed.
Not long after the information was finished, he spread his hands, and finally said: "The situation is roughly like this. If you need help, you can notify me at any time, and I will rush over as soon as possible."
Pandora nodded as well.
It's been explained in detail, so there's nothing to ask.
She rolled her beautiful eyes and just asked, "Should I leave now?"
Hearing this question, Su Lun naturally replied politely: "There is no rush, you can stay on the boat for a few more days, and trigger it after you have rested."
People came all the way to help, so naturally they couldn't drive her to work. What's more, stealing beliefs is not a matter of a day or two, and there is no rush.
Hearing these words, Pandora's eyes flashed with inspiration.
She scratched her face and looked at Su Lun, then asked, "Then where do I live?"
Su Lun pointed to the door and said, "There is an empty cabin next door. If there is anything missing in the room, you can tell me, and I will have someone send it to you."
"oh."
Pandora raised her eyebrows slightly and stood up.
She stepped on the floor with bare feet, walked towards the door, glanced back, and said, "If you need any help from me, just tell me. Otherwise, I will go to rest."
"."
Su Lun listened and thought about it seriously.
There really are!
The "alchemy artificial human" is the end of the puppetry, which is the crystallization of the wisdom of the teachers Saria and Sir Isaac. These days, Su Lun's research on puppets has deepened a lot. He also has some new ideas for some designs that he could not understand before. I thought that if I could see the real thing and study it again, I would definitely gain a lot.
Originally, I felt embarrassed to speak up, but now Pandora took the initiative to mention it.
He didn't try to say: "That. If Miss Pandora doesn't mind, I want to study the alchemy body again."
Pandora didn't seem to care at all, and just asked, "Now?"
Su Lun didn't expect her to be so talkative, so he quickly said, "No rush."
"It's okay anyway, let's do it now."
Pandora stopped and asked lazily, "Do you still want to take off your clothes?"
Su Lun: "If you can."
Pandora raised her eyebrows indifferently.
Without saying a word, she walked to the sofa and took off her robe naturally like last time.
When the robe fell to the ground, a flawless and beautiful carcass was exposed in the air.
