Mechanical Alchemist

Su Lun returned to Blizzard City again.

This time he didn't get the empty boat too close, and scuttled the boat a few kilometers from the shore. Then he walked on the water with a spider spear, sneaked into the city, and found a hotel to stay.

In the next few days, his life was very regular.

Rest in the hotel during the day, tinkering with puppets and machinery. At night, I would wander around various taverns to inquire about news.

The purpose of Su Lun's return is to find a way to get in touch with the "Void Colony", rather than just joining a pirate group. He had to find a subsidiary pirate group that was closely related to the King of the North Sea.

Now that Oleg is king and the era of great pirates is coming, the North Sea Fleet is indeed recruiting troops. But after inquiring for a few days, Blizzard City only had Chris the Whaler, the third division chapter of the Seventh Fleet, here. Unfortunately, the guy on the ship only recruited Vikings and trolls, some northern races, and humans are not very welcome.

Just when Su Lun was thinking hard about finding some other way to get in, he heard another breaking news.

That is, Grand Duke Raphael's secret prison at sea was robbed!

Near the Berman Islands before, the Raphael Archdukes destroyed the Ninth Fleet of the King of the North Sea. But the captain "Greedy Admiral" Ixil Peon and several backbones did not die, but were captured alive. Probably to be sent to trial and executed.

However, for some reason, the news leaked out.

Then, the King of the North Sea sent people to attack the escorting ship and rescued the people on the way. A bunch of accompanying felons were also released.

Su Lun was not interested in the news of the escape of those big pirates.

Prison robbery and escape are also commonplace for pirates.

But he is more interested in another piece of news, that is, the big wave of North Sea King's pirates who robbed the prison and were rescued may arrive in Blizzard City for supplies in a few days.

Su Lun felt that this was a great opportunity.

On this day, the Walrus Tavern.

The Sailor Tavern was smashed by Chijo and the others before, and now it is the busiest tavern in Blizzard City. It is also a place where various big pirates like to gather and meet.

When the sun went down, Su Lun wore an inconspicuous pirate outfit and went out to hang out in the tavern as usual.

From this time period to midnight, the tavern will slowly become lively.

Entering the door of the tavern, there are not too many customers. Three or five big bald men are throwing darts, and a few bearded men are playing pirate cards, and girls in very scantily dressed are dancing around poles on the stage

Su Lun came to the bar familiarly, sat on the high triangular stool made of jujube wood, and snapped his fingers at the bartender, "A glass of silver rum."

He has been here for the past few days, and the bartender also knows him, and greeted him with a smile: "Hey, Brother Johnny, haven't you found a suitable group to board the boat yet?"

As he said that, he took out a jug cup, opened the cork of the oak barrel, and released a glass full of wheat-colored rum.

Twelve-year-old silver rum has the best taste, and its price in the wine market is even more expensive than some gold rums. The pirates are the ones who know how to drink best. They always consume this stuff when they grab it, and rarely sell it. So this thing may not be in stock in the large taverns in Luying's various territories, but there are quite a few in the pirate taverns.

Su Lun popped out a coin, lifted the wine glass and took a sip. As if enjoying the mellow aroma of alcohol running around in his mouth, he exhaled, and then said: "Oh, Brother Mark, you know I'm not just looking for a group. I'm a pretty good shooter, and I want to find a real A pirate group that can make a lot of money."

He is called "Jony" now, and he is a well-known gunman from a small city in Annlogos County, south of Luying.

This is what he has been creating for himself these days.

At least when people come to inquire, they can get some clues from the mouths of various alcoholics, instead of such a person appearing out of thin air.

Moreover, the identity information is all fabricated, but a person who "experience can stand scrutiny" is pieced together from many memory fragments.

Hearing this, the bartender smiled and said, "Hey, then I have some news here, you will definitely be interested."

Su Lun guessed what he wanted to say, but still pretended to be curious: "Oh?"

The bartender expressed a slight expression of satisfaction and said, "Did you know that the captains of Lord Oleg's fleet may be in Blizzard City tonight. I don't think there is anything more suitable for you than the fleets of those big men."

When Su Lun heard this, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, that's really great!"

In fact, he had inquired about this news from the intelligence merchant yesterday, but it was only "possible".

The bartender affirmed the news, and also confirmed that the time is tonight.

Behind these taverns are major pirate groups, so it is not surprising that they also know some top-secret information.

As he said that, Su Lun threw out a few more silver coins in a very polite way, as a tip in return for the news, "Can you tell me more about it? I am very interested in this news."

The bartender happily handed over the money, and said again: "I don't know the details. But didn't the Ninth Fleet have an accident? Lord Paeon will probably rebuild the fleet, so, brother Jonny, you have to take care of it." Chance"

"That's it"

Su Lun listened, took a few sips of wine, and chatted with the bartender again without saying a word.

As the night darkened, more and more people were in the tavern.

Su Lun drank several glasses of wine at the bar, listening to the information that the pirates were talking about.

"Hey, have you heard that there is a big commotion in the silent forest!"

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know what's going on with the demi-humans, but a mysterious master suddenly appeared. Several large slave-hunting regiments were all defeated and suffered heavy losses. It was also rumored that the mysterious master wanted to ban the slave-hunting business of Silent Forest , kill whoever goes. Now the depths of the Silent Forest have become a forbidden place."

"What kind of news is this? Didn't it come out before?"

"There is still a follow-up to this matter! Those slave traders suffered heavy losses this time. Naturally, they would not allow people to cut off this business, so they hired the "King of Thieves" Carlo Merdis to deal with it. However, the news just came today that the troop looking for trouble was almost wiped out by the entire demi-human army, and the "King of Thieves" Carlo was also severely injured, and his life and death are unknown."

"Oh my God, Carlo is one of the 'Top Ten Legendary Bounty Hunters'. He once killed the seventh rank, and his strength is outrageous. He was hit hard? What is the origin of that mysterious man in the silent forest?"

"I don't know, it seems to be wearing a gold-patterned cloak. Some sources say it's called the 'Mirror Organization'."

"."

When Su Lun heard the news, he was not surprised at all, and took a sip of wine expressionlessly.

Now Blizzard City is occupied by pirates, although the slave hunting business has stagnated, the pirates have also paid attention to this business, and the slave hunting group going to the Silent Forest has not decreased.

But with Mr. Jing here, the so-called "Top Ten Bounty Hunters" will naturally be beaten if they go.

After this time, I'm afraid it will stop a lot.

After listening for a while, apart from some nasty jokes, Su Lun heard another piece of information that he was interested in.

"Did you hear about the strange disappearance of the 'Iron Crocodile Group' a few days ago? Today, a group that landed on the shore brought a message. Someone saw the pirate group of the "Thousand Swords Rakshasa" on the route. Heading towards Pirate City”

"The members of the Dawn Regiment are still alive? How is that possible! What about the members of the 'Iron Crocodile Regiment', the 'Flamingo Regiment' and the 'Iron Hammer Regiment'?"

"The Dawn Corps is still alive, which means that One-Eyed Shock and the others should be killed. "

"This news is too damn outrageous. Shuoke and the others are also veteran pirates. How could they all be killed without even spreading the news? I would rather believe that it was the work of the deep sea giant monster!"

"Yeah. No one is alive, it's too evil. You are too flattering to say that the dawn group did it. It may be a shipwreck, or a deep sea giant monster."

"Tch, the newcomers who came out of the sea recently are more crazy than the other, and more evil than the other. It's not necessarily true. Have you heard that a newcomer who plays machinery has just appeared in the Fourth Fleet under Lord Oleg. He was exceptionally promoted to Captain Fan. I heard that in this prison robbery incident, that guy directly swallowed one of Lu Ying's warships."

"."

At the wine table next door, a few pirates talked more and more vigorously.

Su Lun listened attentively. He spent the past few days in the pirate tavern and heard a lot about the deeds of "new pirates".

"Thousand Swords Rakshasa" is naturally Qianjo. The crow player is Gwenb Marie, the former leader of the Crow Gang, "Godfather of Crows". The one who awakens the talent of gravity is most likely Chuck, the boss of the Cross Society "Arbiter".

Now that he heard another man playing with machinery, he naturally thought of Banner the "Butcher" who was the boss of the previous "Steam Party". There are not many technical talents among pirates, and not everyone is qualified to play with machines. Therefore, there is a high probability that the newcomer is Banner.

"Banner"

Su Lun thought of something and was slightly distracted.

He had learned a lot of news from Sabina, so he naturally knew that that guy was not as simple as he seemed.

After drinking and drinking, it was midnight, and the tavern street suddenly became lively.

Hearing the noise outside, Su Lun immediately knew that the captains of the King of the North Sea had arrived in Blizzard City.

There are not many places to stay in the city now, and those guys came to the tavern street in a mighty way.

The drinkers also watched the imposing big pirates coming over, and what they talked about were all these legendary figures in the pirate circle.

"The opportunity is here"

Su Lun was not in a hurry to watch the excitement, so he sat in the tavern. There is no need for him to ask for news deliberately. Since these real people are here, there will be a lot of information from the news merchants tomorrow morning.

He was sitting in front of the bar, glancing at passers-by from the corner of his eye.

The Fourth Fleet under the command of the King of the North Sea who came this time is the same fleet that once went to rob Old Lingdon.

So many of them were familiar to Su Lun.

Captain "Frost Troll" Gar Popov, Deputy Captain "Vice Admiral Sun Flame" Gladys Olmedo, Captain of the First Division "Flower Knife" Clorin, Captain of the Third Division " "Human Demon" Mabritt, fifth-level professional "Shadow Demon" Tim Ashley.

They are all famous figures on the reward list.

These guys passed by the tavern block, probably to show off their combat power, and deliberately leaked their aura.

How terrifying is the coercion of a group of strong men?

Gathered together, it swept across the entire block like a torrent, and all passers-by looked sideways.

"It's really strong."

Su Lun restrained his breath, fearing that he would be recognized.

Taking this opportunity, he also memorized the characteristics of each person's soul fire in detail.

The pirates under the command of the King of the North Sea are the ceiling of the pirate world. These guys are the elite of the pirates, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the "Iron Crocodile Group" before.

Just those fifth-level captains can pose a fatal threat to Su Lun.

However, there were too many people in the Walrus Tavern, and the big pirate troops didn't come in, but went elsewhere.

But at the end of the line, more than a dozen people walked in.

They were dressed in checked suits, waistcoats, woolen overcoats, and leather gloves, in a distinctly old Rington style.

"Look, that's the newcomer with a big name recently, the newly promoted captain of the 19th Division!"

"Really!"

"."

As soon as this group of people walked in dressed in black, their identities were immediately recognized.

The leader was a middle-aged vulture smoking a cigar, one of his hands was a modified mechanical arm, and there was a ferocious aura between his brows.

When Su Lun saw the leader, he muttered in his heart, "It really is Banner."

The former boss of the gangster, the momentum is naturally not low.

Su Lun's eyes fell on Banner's mechanical arm again, and he took another look.

This robotic arm is much better than the one I saw before.

Moreover, he also saw many exclusive parts of Mafa mechanical armor on those accessories. 【MF911 Magic Manipulator Boiler】, 【TU-0 High Frequency Tremor Meter】, 【Dragon Scale S-Explosion-proof Partition】, 【T-shaped Alloy Power Shaft】.

The parts seem to be disassembled directly from the mechanical armor, and they are all complete. Not only the "colonel level" armor parts, but even the "major general level" high-tech components.

"Banna's mechanical body is probably much stronger than before. Not to mention the fourth level, if the ability is not restrained, he may not be able to win the fifth level."

Su Lun has in-depth research on Mafa's mechanical fighters, so he can see the technical content of Banner's mechanical arm at a glance.

Moreover, this is just an exposed mechanical arm.

He knows it, this guy is not a half-modified mechanical warrior, but a fully-modified one!

Seeing those mechanical parts, Su Lun was a little greedy.

Now the throne of the King of the North Sea is still canonized by the emperor of the Marfa Empire, and the relationship between the two forces is very ambiguous. It is said that Marfa also has technical and equipment support.

It is also unknown whether the source of these mechanical parts was robbed by the King of the North Sea before, or funded by the Marfa Empire.

"But having said that, if it's the latter, wouldn't it be possible to get some Mafa's mechanical armor from the channel of the King of the North Sea?"

When Su Lun thought of this, his thoughts became active.

Of his current mechanical puppet army, the only one that can really be on the stage is the [Grand Colonel-class Ship-Slaying IX-shaped Mechanical Armor], and there is still a long way to go before the technology is cracked.

If there is a channel to get more armor parts, the formation time of his mechanical army will be greatly shortened.

Thinking of this, he found another excuse for himself to join the North Sea Fleet.

Moreover, Su Lun was more concerned about something else.

He set his sights on those who accompanied Banner.

"Where did Banner's neuromechanical technology come from?"

Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly, and quickly sensed that among the people behind him, there were a few soul fires that were a bit special.

When she was in Old Lynntown, Sabrina had been staying at the Steam Party under a disguise. Because of this, she is the only one who knows that Banner is a fully-cyborg.

Because Sabina is not absolutely loyal to the Umbrella Organization, this news has not been reported, and the two sides have a tacit understanding to get what they need.

But that problem still exists.

That is Banner's mechanical body, who transformed it?

"Neural Machine" is a top-secret scientific research project of Grand Duke Raphael. Even in the laboratory in Old Lington, only a few high-level people have mastered the complete technology.

And Sabina was sure that Banner's transformation opportunity definitely did not come from the laboratory.

So... it's kind of a mystery.

Before the pirates raided the Black Barrier Reef, the rush to the tower was very hasty. After Su Lun came out, he also felt that there was no chance to investigate, so he didn't think about it anymore.

Now seeing that Banner came out with his own eyes, a certain idea in his mind was ready to move.

"Neuromechanical technology, if you can really find clues from him, it will be much easier than finding the channel of Grand Duke Raphael."

Su Lun looked at Banner with a thoughtful light in his eyes.

Banner and his group entered the tavern.

The bartender made room for them too.

All eyes were on this group of people, and Su Lun's observing eyes were naturally not noticed.

The former "Steam Party" used mechanical transformation to become one of the three major gangsters in the outer city. Banner's mechanical knowledge is pretty good. But even so, there is a high probability that it is impossible for him to master the top-secret technology of "neuromechanical technology".

Therefore, there must be a "technician" behind him.

There were too many places to hide in the outer city of Old Lingdon before, and Sabina didn't find any clues.

But now that he is floating around in the sea, he is such an important person, and most likely he wears it with him.

Su Lun's gaze quickly locked on an ordinary middle-aged man with a mustache.

Although most of the people behind Banner had modified mechanical limbs, that person's soul fire was particularly erratic, which was very different from other professionals.

"Bionic skin?"

Su Lun felt that the mustache was very unfamiliar.

He thought of a possibility, that is the super mechanical warrior!

It is impossible for Banner to bring some useless weak people around him. Thinking about it, the existence of the middle-aged man with mustache is very special.

"It's really a machine."

"Cut, what kind of skill is mechanical energy? It just depends on some equipment. This level can also be the captain of the North Sea Fleet? Give me the equipment, and I can do it myself."

"That's right. Without the equipment, the mechanical warrior is useless. The newcomers are really crazy, and they really think how powerful they are."

"."

When Banner and his group entered the tavern, the other drinkers began to whisper.

In Luying, mechanical technology is backward, and most of the professionals who play with machinery are inferior.

Even in the pirate circle, mechanical warriors are at the bottom of the chain of contempt.

Traditional professionals look down on those fighters whose combat power depends entirely on mechanical modifications from foreign objects. And usually, the combat power of those mechanical warriors is indeed much weaker than that of the same level.

Clumsy, slow response, limited upper limit. These are Luying people's concept of machinery.

"Super Mechanical Warrior" is only known to Lu Ying's high-level executives. The concept of neural machinery is still a completely unfamiliar field to most people.

In the eyes of most pirates, as long as the machine is advanced enough, returning it to a pig can achieve the same effect.

Therefore, when Banner and his group came in, they were inevitably despised.

Listening to those sour words, Su Lun shook his head slightly, and muttered in a voice that he could only hear: "This is a so-called 'butcher'. His temper is not that good."

He knew that someone was going to be unlucky.

In Old Lington, the name "butcher" is not a random shout.

If not.

After Su Lun muttered, the people at the next table who were still whispering and saying what they had said suddenly stopped.

The heads of the two fell on the wine table with a "bang".

Taking a closer look, a blood hole suddenly appeared above their heads.

Su Lun naturally caught a glimpse. At that moment, the nails nailed into the wood of the wine table suddenly flew out, and then pierced through the two people's jaws into their skulls.

"[A-043-Metal Devourer], professional advancement has gained the ability to control metal elements, tsk tsk"

Su Lun drank the wine expressionlessly, not surprised at all.

He knew everything about Banner.

According to Sabina, this guy's inauguration sequence is very special, even if he is completely mechanically transformed, he still retains his natural abilities.

Even if it doesn't rely on machinery, this guy's combat power is very strong.

The king of the North Sea is the ceiling in the pirate circle, who can't kill him?

It is also expected that these people were killed by Banana's violent temper.
