Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 224: Kadurant Port

The merchant ship that Su Lun and the others took was going to Kadurante Port, and it happened that Mr. Jing was going to Xenodia Province, a neutral place between the two empires, and he also needed to transfer to a cruise ship or buy a sea-going ship there.

I asked about the itinerary of Mr. Hei's team, and they had also docked and were heading north by land transport.

After all, the "Chengfeng" is a pirate ship, so there will be a lot of trouble.

Probably another two or three days.

It was almost the time when Su Lun and the others arrived.

And Su Lun himself plans to go to the Northland Ice Field to see, he needs to experience and gain knowledge.

The original owner's Regadi family was in the south of Luying, and within a short time, Su Lun had no intention of going there to cause trouble.

The Northland Ice Sheet is far enough apart, so it is a good choice.

Moreover, he is now also preparing for the need to advance to the third level.

Although the dark spiritual power is thin on the ground, he has [Isaac’s Alchemy Heart], which seems to carry a dark spiritual power spring with him, which can fully meet the needs of cultivation, and the spiritual power is also steadily improving, reaching the gold material [Desperation of Life] It is only a matter of time before the advanced requirements of the teacher's three-color mask】.

What's more, he still needs to raise some rare materials for his third-level alchemy plant equipment.

It just so happens that you can try your luck in Kadurante, the largest commercial territory in the north of Luying.

Su Lun has now learned the secret method of mental power, and the direction of the third level of advancement is "multi-tasking" and favors the direction of mental power control.

Therefore, he planned to get a special outfit that was highly compatible with the newly awakened ability-【Spiritual Tentacles】.

It was the ability that Pestoya used to manipulate his and bald Ivan's limbs in Stormwind Manor when he traveled back then.

I didn't know what it was before, but now Su Lun knew that it was a kind of mental manipulation.

Use the thread of mental power to block the transmission of target nerve signals, conduct your own will, and manipulate other people's bodies.

The reason why the "Puppeteer" is so weird is that in addition to being able to make all kinds of weird rune puppets, more importantly, there are some mysterious and unpredictable methods of manipulating mental power.

In the words of his teacher Sereya: Is a puppet an inconvenience? Controlling dead puppets is just the beginning, controlling living puppets is an advanced step, so that in the end, everything you see is puppets!

The method of mental power control will complement Su Lun's shortcomings in puppet control.

Moreover, because he stripped the "forensic doctor" Gerald's memory fragments and studied his "Anatomy Notes" carefully, Su Lun now knows almost everything about the transmission of various nerve signals in the human body.

Once the breeding equipment is completed, it can immediately form a combat power.

At that time, the power of puppet techniques such as [Puppet Theater] will also increase dramatically.

Su Lun doesn't need to have complete physical control like in front of him, he needs to wrestle with people.

Now it directly transmits the spiritual power through the silk thread, achieving dual control of physical and mental power, and can easily control the human body.

even later,

As long as the target's neural signal transmission is well understood, it will not only be limited to manipulating humans, even monsters, and aberrations.

In theory anything can be manipulated.

This is also combined with his own conditions. After careful consideration, Su Lun feels that he is the most suitable cultivation equipment for advancing to the third level.

After advancing, his strength will skyrocket!

However, although the forging blueprint for the colony equipment was obtained from Serena, the main material is very rare.

He needs a complete and fresh brain of a spiritual monster of about the third level, such as [Nightmare Spider], [Hundred Eyes Evil Eye], [Nightmare Octopus]. The higher the quality, the better.

He read these kinds of alternative targets in the classics, but after harvesting so many memories, no one has seen one of them.

Therefore, it is best to try your luck in places like the Northland Ice Field, where there are many monsters.

It is said that deep in the primeval forest of the "Silent Forest", some ancient species that have become extinct outside are found every year.

Fur trader Benson and his son Jake have become very enthusiastic since knowing that Su Lun is a "real" rune teacher. In the surface world, teacher is one of the most respected professions among commoners.

Even for a meal, someone will be sent to call Su Lun.

After all, it was considered "rescued", and Su Lun would gladly accept the invitation of the ship owner if it was not easy to refuse.

Through the small talk at the dinner table, Su Lun also knew some things about the surface world.

This Bensen family is considered to be the middle class among the common people in the imperial capital of the Lu Ying Empire.

The "Silent Forest" in the North is rich in furs of various monsters. These furs are luxury goods in the emperor, and they are used to make alchemy scrolls and clothing, which are very sought-after. The gross profit of such a trip is about 30 to 50 million lisos. After deducting taxes and labor costs, the net profit can be about 10 million lisos.

I can run two or three times a year.

But occasionally when encountering pirates, you will lose everything.

Through his own efforts, Benson has also earned a considerable family business over the years, and he is also considered a well-known wealthy businessman in the circle of fur merchants in the imperial capital.

And Su Lun's erudition also left a very good impression on Benson and his son.

However, Su Lun didn't know why, he occasionally felt some faint hostility from Benson's somewhat attractive second wife Marianne.

And the captain of the guard called Raman.

On this day, the harbor city of Kadurante is far away.

On the deck, Su Lun was blowing the sea breeze and looking into the distance.

Jike next to him is holding his notes very seriously, and is carefully recording the question he asked for advice just now.

Every day, Su Lun blows the air on the deck.

The fresh sea breeze will help him digest the knowledge he just received in his mind.

Jike is very eager to learn, and will take advantage of this time to politely ask for some alchemy knowledge.

Su Lun felt that the little boy had a good learning talent, and he explained it patiently.

There was probably less than an hour to arrive at the harbor. After disembarking, there was no such a good teacher, and Jike seemed a little disappointed.

He carefully put the notebook in the pocket of his vest, and imitated Su Lun, lying on the edge of the deck, because he was not tall enough, and his feet were still hanging in the air.

Jike said with emotion: "Mr. Nicholas, you really know everything. It would be great if I could hire you as a private teacher, then I have great hope to be admitted to the 'Imperial Royal War College'."

Su Lun smiled and said nothing.

Jike's eyes were shining like stars, and he continued: "You know, it is my dream to be admitted to the Royal Academy. In the entire empire, there are only less than 5,000 new students every year. Eighty percent of the noble students must be excluded. , we civilians need a very high entrance score to be admitted. It is the highest school that only real elites can be admitted to."

"Um."

Su Lun was also very interested in listening, smiling and nodding from time to time.

This Jik has popularized a lot of common sense for him in the ground world.

The best educational resources in this world belong to the heirs of the nobles, but some opportunities are left to the common people.

Aristocrats are exempted from entrance exams, while ordinary people need one-in-a-million talents and high tuition fees.

Jike was used to this class difference, and he didn't complain about injustice in his tone.

He is like a boy with a lot of dreams, full of longing for the highest institution, and said: "If I can get in, I can get in touch with the top masters and the best resources. There are still many thousands of people on the campus of the Royal Academy." The building of the "Atria Empire" era years ago, the college library has the richest collection of books in the world! All kinds of rare books, manuscripts of various masters, documents and materials unearthed in various civilization relics, such as Rogier There are manuscripts of the master alchemists of all ages, Bacon, Clement, Ramon Lure, Theophrast von Hohenheim."

Su Lun nodded in approval when he heard the famous names in the field of alchemy.

The Luying Empire has existed for more than 800 years, and the documents collected by the Bona royal family are absolutely unimaginably huge for ordinary people.

This statement also made Su Lun really interested.

In terms of obtaining alchemy knowledge, there is really no place more suitable than the Royal Academy.

After being taught by Serena, he is now very clear about the direction of his future advancement. He must need a lot of knowledge as a stepping stone to touch the top field of alchemy.

However, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, a place like the Imperial Capital of Lu Ying, gathered the top professionals in the entire empire.

The key original owner, the Regadi family, seems to have a mansion in the imperial capital

A thought flashed through Su Lun's mind, and he planned to go and have a look after he had the ability to protect himself.

"Oh, right!"

At this time, Jake seemed to suddenly think of something, and added excitedly: "There is also the relics, manuscripts, and antiques of the 'half-god' Sir Isaac a thousand years ago. The last time our preparatory college organized Go and visit, I have seen it with my own eyes!"

When Su Lun heard this, his eyes were startled suddenly, and he whispered unconsciously, "Sir Isaac's manuscript?"

Sir Isaac left a lot of manuscripts. At the auction house in Old Lington, a page can sell for three to five hundred gold crowns.

The Rafael family developed Old Lingdon for a hundred years, and many treasures in the dungeon flowed to the ground through them.

"yes!"

Not everyone is qualified to visit the Royal Academy. Jike wanted to tell this rune teacher from a remote southern county about the prosperity of the imperial capital, and said: "Sir Isaac is the greatest inventor in the history of modern civilization. A philosopher, a biologist, and a great alchemist, he has created countless genius inventions. The library management of the Royal Academy has a special library that collects jazz relics. There are also many handwritten manuscripts and design drawings.”

Su Lun thought of something, and asked, "Among those relics, is there a leather note that looks like a 'living creature' that is smoking black?"

Hearing this, Jimmy was very surprised: "Hey, Mr. Nicholas, have you seen [Manuscripts]?"

He thought for a moment, and then continued: "There is indeed such a notebook in the collection room! The teachers said that it was a research manuscript of a god-level armor invented by Sir Isaac. Oh, I still remember it clearly now , That’s a very weird notebook, unfortunately, I haven’t seen the contents.”

"."

Although Su Lun heard the name of the [Spiritual Manuscript] a bit unfamiliar, he immediately guessed that it was one of the five [Isaac's Alchemy Manuscripts]!

It turns out that there is also a book in Luying Royal Academy?

Not surprisingly, there is also a book in the Regardy family.

Adding one manuscript in his hand and five manuscripts, Su Lun now knows the whereabouts of three manuscripts.

"It seems that Luying Royal Academy really has to go."

Hearing this, Su Lun looked at the sea in the distance, his eyes gradually abyssed.

Not long after, the sailboat is about to dock.

"Kadurangte" is a super seaport city built on the hillside.

From the air, it looks like a boot.

The natural deep-water port is at the heel of the boot, with cliffs on both sides, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

From far away, one could hear the commotion of people on the pier.

Su Lun stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the city in the harbor in the distance, and murmured in his heart: "The technological level of the cities in the ground world doesn't seem to be too high."

The city in front of me looks like a medieval castle complex, with a touch of ancient Greek architectural style, with large areas of white and blue as the main color. Thick and textured white rock walls, tall columns and blue spiers, the streets are crowded.

It seems that there is not much difference from the thousand-year-old architectural style in the ruins of Dawn City.

However, there are many steel elements in this castle-like city.

Steam locomotives can be seen on the bridges between the islands. There are also various steel bridges in the city, and there are floating airships floating above the city.

The most eye-catching thing is the various giant forts built on the mountain. Long cannons and short cannons are densely packed, and the city is armed like a hedgehog. It looks like a mixture of magic and steam.

From the perspective of urban architecture alone, the level of civilization in Kadurante is far behind the cyber-style high-rise buildings in the inner city of Old Lington.

At this time, Su Lun suddenly heard Mr. Jing's evaluation: "It has been a thousand years, and the city is still like this. The backward system of aristocratic centralization has long proved to be a stumbling block to the development of social civilization. Pleasure, not enterprising, has actually caused the development of civilization to stagnate for a thousand years. Are you really not afraid that the channel of the plane will be broken, and human beings will be enslaved by the strong of the other plane?"

Her tone was calm, but Su Lun could hear an indisputable moan.

Sure enough, people who stood in different positions saw things completely differently.

A person like Mr. Jing, who fought in the front line of the plane space a thousand years ago, saw the entire human race and the alchemy civilization.

From what Su Lun knew, the aristocratic centralization system of the Luying Empire is indeed quite backward.

The nobles concentrated more than 90% of society's resources. If they did not promote social development, it would be difficult for society to progress.

But obviously, the aristocrats are also the vested beneficiaries of the existing system, and this is the group of people who least want to change.

Except that the population is expanding, neither alchemy nor technology has advanced much compared to a thousand years ago.

No!

Not even as good!

At least, in the field of alchemy, no one has reached the level of Sir Isaac a thousand years ago.

On the side of the Marfa Empire, it was only after the last hundred years of the mechanical revolution that there were changes.

Mr. Jing shook his head and didn't say much.

At this moment, the sailboat passed a reef with a lighthouse built, and Su Lundo took a look.

Because the lighthouse is imagined to be like hanging ten thousand national flags, there are hundreds of various pirate flags, some new, some faded after the wind and sun. It seems that the time span of hanging is very long.

There are still a few dried corpses!

Looking at the costumes of the corpses, how many of these people are pirates?

Because the ship was about to dock, Captain Benson also stepped onto the deck.

Seeing the doubts on Su Lun's face, he explained: "That's the leader of the 'Blood Skull Pirates' "Blood Hand" Stewart, a fifth-level professional, and a great pirate who was very active in this sea area. Committed a lot of bloody crimes, heinous"

What the merchants hated the most was naturally these pirates who burned, killed and looted.

After a pause, his tone was not polite, and he said again: "These damned pirates were sent to the gallows instead!"

Su Lun also understood this bloody "landmark". Is this a warning to people about what happens when they become pirates?

Tier 5 pirate, the corpse was hung up to dry like this?

He suddenly thought of Qiantiao.

After the young gambling addict disembarked, she stopped following Mr. Hei and the others, saying that she was going to form her own pirate group.

Although she wanted to be a "Grand Thief", but a Grand Thief is also a thief, and if she is caught, she will be sent to the gallows.

The ship entered the port and stopped in a dense sea of ​​ships.

Su Lun and the others bid farewell to the Benson family and walked into the city first.

In the past, there was a thick and high wall at the pier, and identity registration and verification were required to enter the city.

There was a long queue outside the city gate, and soldiers in silver-gray armor were verifying the identities of those entering the city one by one.

The process is not complicated. Take out your ID card to show it, and then put your hand on a crystal ball.

It's a bit like going through the passport control in the previous life. The soldiers guarding the city will ask a few words casually, and after passing the review, they will stamp the certificate.

Su Lun was also prepared.

It is not difficult for him to forge documents.

What's more, apart from the uniform identity certificates for the cities near the imperial capital, all the other territories of the Luying Empire have their own certificates of origin, which are full of strange things. Most of them are backward pure paper certificates. The only anti-counterfeit certificate is the bronzing pattern representing the lord chapter pattern.

But looking at the crystal ball, Su Lun frowned slightly and made an appraisal.

[Inferior energy measuring crystal]

Detailed Explanation: We can only briefly judge the elemental crystals of the order.

It seems to be for high-level pirates to sneak into the city, or for other purposes

But if it's just to detect the rank, it's not a big problem.

Su Lun, the second level, is not very eye-catching among professionals.

After the tax, he glanced at Mr. Jing who was hooking his hand. If the seventh or eighth level was tested, it would immediately cause a sensation.

Mr. Jing was very calm and responded with a faint smile.

Obviously she didn't care about this energy measuring crystal.

The two lined up and slowly entered the city.

When queuing up, Su Lun also deliberately observed the crowd of most of the adventurers in the past.

Most of them are dressed in traditional professional clothes. There are quite a few firearms, but not many mechanical arms.

Even if there is, looking at the mechanical device, it is about the same level of technology as the outer city of Old Lingdon.

This was the first city that Su Lun came into contact with in the surface world. He felt that the Luying Empire was the kind of ancient empire with "drowsiness", like an old and sleepy lion.

After a while, it was Su Lun's turn to conduct the review.

The soldiers guarding the city have to review tens of thousands of people entering and leaving every day, and their expressions have long been numb: "Show your ID, take off your hat, and put your hands on the crystal ball!"

As he got closer, Su Lun saw that there were wanted warrants hanging on the bulletin board on the city wall.

In the huge North Sea, apart from the notorious "King of the North Sea" fleet, there are also numerous other pirates, big and small.

Most of the rewards on this list are pirates.

Su Lun took off his hat, and then he put his hand on the crystal ball, and the crystal ball emitted a faint blue light.

He was wearing a plain white suit, probably because of this outfit, the tone of the guards guarding the city was quite polite.

The guard at the side looked at Su Lun's face, and didn't match up with any wanted criminals, so he didn't ask any more questions, and stamped his household registration certificate: second level, pass.

Su Lun passed the customs smoothly, but Mr. Jing took off the wide-brimmed hat that covered half of his face, and the guards immediately looked straight.
