Mechanical Alchemist

Although Su Lun knew about the situation in this sea area before, he was still shocked by the power of nature in front of him.

The "Devil Sea" can be used as a natural barrier for the Pirate City, so it is naturally extremely dangerous. Dozens of ships die here every year due to improper operation. The diameter of the vortex here is as large as a kilometer, and there are various hidden reefs. Even a medium-sized warship like the "Bald Eagle" sails in it, and the sky is spinning.

Fortunately, the navigators on board were experienced, and the fleet passed through without any risk.

The fleet sailed through the vortex sea area, and suddenly it became calm.

The sunlight pierced through the thick dark clouds like strands of golden ribbons, illuminating a spectacular landscape.

"Hahaha, we're in Hastling!"

Everyone on board cheered.

Su Lun looked at the large group of buildings with a unique style in front of him, and his eyes were full of splendor.

The sea area of ​​Pirate City has warm ocean currents from the northwest, and the climate that used to be in the frigid zone has suddenly become pleasant. There are also large tracts of green vegetation growing on those islands, and the scenery is excellent.

There are various islands dotted all over the sea.

Those islands are very special in shape, most of them look like huge stalagmites standing upright one by one. The roofs are painted in various colors, and the wooden stilted buildings like colorful mushrooms are built on those stalagmites, dotted with the verdant green of the trees. There are also huge animal skin airships floating in the sky. The wooden buildings are connected under the airships, and various neon signboards are hung. It is a bustling feasting. There are antique steam trains on the sea, whining, dragging a long white steam tail between the islands. It's like a fairy tale world.

The most exaggerated is the wooden water village complex with a height of more than 30 floors in the farthest distance.

Su Lun didn't know how the people here used wood to build such exaggerated buildings.

It was almost evening when their fleet came, and the fleet approached slowly, and the sky had already darkened.

When it was about two or three nautical miles away from the city, lights suddenly lit up in the tall buildings in the distance.

Immediately, a shocking scene appeared before his eyes.

Row upon row of wooden buildings exude a bright orange light under the light, and the whole water village shines like gold pouring. The lights are reflected in the dark blue water, as if there is a golden city in the water. Looking up, the sea and the sky are all blue. When you squint your eyes, you can't tell where is the reflection and where is the real building.

"Thirty-three-story golden building, connected to the underworld and connected to the sky above"

Su Lun squinted at the "Golden City That Never Sleeps" in the distance, and thought of the legend about the pirate city.

Looking at it now, it really lives up to its reputation.

This is definitely the most refreshing architectural spectacle that Su Lun has seen in this world.

Pirate City has existed for more than a thousand years.

In addition to pirates, there are tens of millions of aborigines here.

Those are descendants of people who were once exiled, retired pirates, fishermen, prisoners, and believers of the four kingdoms of Beizhou. Fish and dragons are mixed here, even those big pirates dare not be too presumptuous.

But the fleet of the King of the North Sea still has some cards.

Not long after Su Lun and the others formed the Ninth Fleet, they were also warmly welcomed by merchants in the Golden City.

As soon as he entered the port, all kinds of brokers and pimps flooded up on the pier, greeting him warmly.

"Ouch, sir, tonight there is a big performance at the 'Sun City Bathing Beach', can I take you there?"

"Sir, a group of performers from the Royal Song and Dance Troupe of the Royal Capital of Luying came to the 'Silver Knight Casino'. Oh, that is a beautiful dance that only real nobles can enjoy!"

"We're in the 'Spartan Arena' tonight to have a gladiatorial match between fifth-level professionals and sea monsters. There are big bosses who open infinite dealers, and there are uncles who like to gamble. You will be satisfied."

"."

It's a pirate city after all.

Here is Luying's most developed entertainment industry, and it is full of luxury and money.

The pirates risked their lives to rob, so they came here for consumption. They will also not be stingy with the coins in their pockets, willing to be emptied in gambling stalls and custom halls.

After disembarking, the captain "Greedy Admiral" Peon didn't join the group of captains and the newly recruited minions. After sending some money, he entered the city.

Because it is a newly reorganized group, everyone is actually not too familiar with each other, and there is no friendship at all.

The captain of the 15th squad that Su Lun was in didn't plan to take his "brothers" to spend. He shared the money and said: "The pier is the cheapest, and the best girls are always in the city. You can do it if you have nothing to do." Go shopping and open your eyes. Don’t forget to bring your communicator, the boss said that there may be big actions in the next few days.”

"Yes, Captain!"

The crowd had been on the boat for less than half a month, and they were already suffocating.

After taking the money, one by one, they walked into the gate of the walled city.

The treatment of the North Sea Fleet is indeed good.

With a big wave of the captain's hand, Su Lun, a grassroots member, received more than 10,000 lisos in entertainment expenses. Coupled with the previous 50,000 housekeeping allowance, it was enough to squander in the pirate city for a while.

Luxuriant, timely enjoyment, this is the reason why many people are chosen to be pirates.

Su Lun had something to do, so he didn't intend to hang out with those people.

But at this moment, someone patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Johnny, what's your plan?"

Turning his head, he saw a young man with yellow hair.

This is the gunner in the same cabin I met recently while playing cards, named Sharp.

His temperament is not bad.

This guy wasn't originally a pirate, but a city defense gunner of Blizzard City. Joining the North Sea Fleet was purely because the family was too poor and had a seriously ill old mother. After taking a fancy to the emergency of the family security, here it comes.

Su Lun thought about it, and responded, "I'm going to visit the Geisha Hall."

When Sharp heard it, he was a little bored: "Hey, don't listen to Martin and those guys bragging. I've heard it said before that geisha's things cost money, and they can only satisfy their eyesight, and they can't eat meat. Then It is a place for rich and important people to spend their time. Our little money is enough to go and have a few cups of tea. If you really want to play with girls, it’s better to go to the Custom House. I heard that a batch of wars came from somewhere in Pirate City recently. Slave, your skin is as smooth as soap, let's try it together?"

Su Lun smiled and shook his head: "Forget it. After all, I haven't seen it before. I want to find a cheap one to see what the legendary geisha is like, so as to increase my knowledge."

"That's up to you."

Hearing this, Sharp looked bored, waved his hands, quickly followed the people before him, and called back: "There is something to contact through the communicator."

"Um"

Su Lun nodded with a smile, and entered the city alone.

Entering the Golden City, the space here is extremely three-dimensional and complex, a bit like the old Lington, densely packed with very crowded buildings. It looks like a city, but crossing the border is like entering a forest of wooden buildings. The streets are very narrow, and there are various cobweb-like pipelines and air bridges looking up.

Most of the city is made of wood, but there are also some steel buildings and steam pipes. The architectural style is also very mixed, not the Gothic or Baroque style of Lu Ying's mainstream. Instead, there are all kinds of weird styles, as if hundreds of civilizations are mixed together.

The most striking thing is the pedestrians on the street.

Like a foreign pirate, you can recognize it just by looking at the clothes.

Aboriginal attire is very strange.

Rogues, monks, nuns, missionaries, Spartans, wrestlers, adventurers. There are all kinds of costumes, strange occupations, and various skin colors.

Moreover, many aborigines' costumes carry a strong symbol of faith.

There are almost only alchemists in Lu Ying, but here, Su Lun saw all kinds of god believers.

"One hundred and eight thousand gods, so many beliefs are actually mixed together."

Su Lun felt a little unbelievable.

Moreover, he walked all the way, and the soul fire of some passers-by in his perception was very strange. Among those god believers, there are many weird guys.

Su Lun looked at them, and those passers-by also looked at him with cautious and hidden danger. Seeing the logo of the North Sea Fleet will restrain you a lot.

The identity of a pirate is beyond the reach of ordinary people elsewhere, but here, it is ordinary people.

This is the "City of Sin", where the crime rate remains high. Any random passer-by on the street might be a heinous criminal. But no one is used to anyone, a disagreement can be life-threatening.

Su Lun had harvested a lot of memories about pirate ships before, so he was no stranger to the streets here.

He planned to go to the alchemy material store to search for goods, and then go to the geisha hall in the city.

He wanted to see a geisha show, not really that much interested in that form of entertainment.

It's because geisha are the official business of the hidden country.

One of the most important purposes for Su Lun to come to Pirate City is to understand the lineage of rune warlocks. That "rune old man" is in the hidden mountain country.

Moreover, he is indeed full of interest in that almost isolated civilization now.

Before Su Lun was very puzzled, Chijo's kimono and kendo were not the same as those of mainstream alchemists. It was later learned that the population of Old Lingdon was filled by slaves from various places. Qianjo himself couldn't explain the origin of those things, many of them were inherited from the family.

But the problem is that if there is inheritance, there must be a source.

Lu Ying's major territories have never heard of the habit of wearing kimonos.

Now that he came to Pirate City, seeing those ronin and geisha, Su Lun realized that Qianjo's ancestors most likely came from the Mountain Hidden Country.

If you really want to go to that place, it is always right to know more about it in advance.

Su Lun used the communicator to contact Qiantiao.

The young gambling addict has been in Pirate City for some time.

According to her own statement, after she came here, she also had an inexplicable sense of belonging and was investigating some things.

Now she seems to be in a little trouble, and she didn't say where she is, and she didn't plan to meet first.

There is no need to worry about Qiantiao's strength, and Su Lun hung up the communicator without asking.

He sensed that no one was paying attention, changed his body, changed into an inconspicuous adventurer's attire, and went deep into the city.

The sky has completely darkened, and the pirate city is brightly lit, making it more and more lively.

The busiest thing in Pirate City is the entertainment industry. All kinds of red, green, and pink neon signs can blind people's eyes. These gold selling caves also occupy the best locations in the city.

Pirates have a black market for shipments, which is at the bottom of the city.

Su Lun's reaping memories are not too detailed. After wandering around in this maze-like water village for a long time, he finally found the alchemy material market.

It was a "river in the city" like a sewer where sewage flowed across. The dense boats in the river are loaded with bags of goods unloaded from the port, stopping in front of various shops. Some guys who hid their heads and covered their faces came in and out of the shop.

It's dark, damp, dirty, and there are all kinds of little devils who covet tourists' belongings.

Those half-children with thieves' eyes can tell at a glance who are coming to Pirate City for the first time, and they will take special care of them.

Because it is a black market, and it doesn't look like a regular store, there are no fancy signs.

It's normal for pirates to eat black and black, so for safety, pirates usually sell their goods in shops they are familiar with, otherwise they may even be eaten by people with their goods and there is no place to reason.

Su Lun walked into a small shop. In his memory, this was "Sister Tom's magic material shop". The price of receiving and selling goods is still fair, and generally does not deceive acquaintances.

He went straight in.

The space in the house is not spacious. It is a store and a warehouse. The limited space is filled with various materials.

There was a faint scent of aromatherapy in the air.

Behind the counter, sitting cross-legged, was an old woman who looked like a witch holding a crystal ball and muttering.

When a guest came in, she didn't open her eyes.

On the side, a middle-aged man with tattoos all over his face was working on the ledger, looking like the son of an old woman.

The copper bell at the door rang, and he glanced indifferently.

Su Lun looked at them calmly for a moment. The two were obviously believers in gods.

But I don't know what god I believe in, my soul perception is a bit cold, like a black magician.

He didn't look too much, knocked on the table, and said: "Wandering in the shadow of the tomb, blood gives mortals fear."

A slang term among pirates, which means knowledgeable.

The content of this sentence seems to be related to the beliefs of the two shop owners.

Hearing this, the tattooed man knew that he was a regular customer, and finally raised his eyebrows, "What do you need?"

"I need some materials."

Su Lun said, and took out a list, which was full of dense materials.

The God of Plague glanced at it, and quoted the price skillfully: "Pink lizard bone marrow is 800 grams per gram, devil mushroom is 3,000, amethyst with a purity of Ⅷ is 150,000, a pair of three-tailed sea snake eyes is 200,000, and white phosphorous whale oil"

"no problem."

Hearing the quotation, Su Lun settled down immediately, and said: "The quantity of materials will be according to my list."

This is already a price that makes him very satisfied.

If you switch to other places, you will have to spend at least several times the price to buy these materials.

And it's not necessarily available for purchase.

That's the good thing about Pirate City.

The price of the stolen goods from the robbery will be much lower than that in Luying's regular business, with an average discount of 45% off. Certain gold and dark gold-grade rare materials are not only not expensive, but surprisingly cheap, even 12% off the market price.

After all, the pirates' skills and equipment are very common, and there are not many places where high-end materials can be used.

On Su Lun's list, there were many alchemy materials that could not be bought before.

With this batch of goods, he can make more high-level ghost puppets.

The tattooed man said again in a deep voice: "Some materials you want need to be prepared. Pay the deposit first, and come to pick up the goods after tomorrow."

"Okay, everything follows the rules."

Su Lun took out a deposit of one million without hesitation.

He knew that his batch of goods was very miscellaneous, and it was impossible for normal shops to have all the goods in stock. But these black market merchants will borrow goods from each other, as long as there is something in Pirate City, they can find it.

This also saved Su Lun the trouble of looking for it everywhere.

After paying the money, he asked casually, "Is there any good stuff? Cursed objects, mechanical equipment, etc."

Su Lun's involvement in the 19th Fleet was not in vain. Recently, he heard inside information that the Marfa Empire did fund many of Oleg's cutting-edge mechanical equipment.

Since it is a large-scale outflow, part of it may flow out on the black market.

Moreover, the pirates have a lot of good goods that they plundered, and they might be able to pick them up.

If you are lucky enough, you may be able to find news about the Void Breeding Equipment

Seeing that Su Lun knew the rules very well, and the tattooed man didn't talk too much, he touched the glass display case with his hand.

The previously dark cabinet suddenly became transparent.

Su Lun's eyes fell, and he saw a bunch of small boutiques, a flag, a team of wristbands, a compass, a quill pen, and some small objects

He has omniscient pupils, so naturally he doesn't need much introduction.

[Columbus's sailing flag] affects the wind cycle and increases the speed of the ship; [Armitage's magic pattern wristband (silver)], injects energy to provide shield defense; [damaged compass] is useless

The quality of the items is good or bad, but they are all alchemy items with good effects.

Unfortunately, it was of no use to Su Lun, so he said again: "Hey, I need real good stuff."

Watching him frown, the tattooed man took another look, the glass shone brightly, and the contents inside changed again, they were all mechanical parts.

A broken mechanical arm, a 70% new steam powered boiler, a broken steel plate with the TTR logo, and some small parts

When Su Lun saw it, he was just asking casually to try his luck, but unexpectedly found something good.

In the window, he saw some remains of Mafa mechanical armor.

And that steel plate is also the "Aardman Alloy" of Mafa's top-secret technology!

Stuff is good stuff.

However, the amount is less.

It's not enough to be a puppet.

"How much do these things cost?"

"Seven hundred thousand."

"I can give up to forty."

"Fifty."

"make a deal!"

Su Lun got those mechanical parts.

Then the tattooed man changed another batch, and Su Lun suddenly felt a sigh in his heart. Only then did he realize that those mechanical parts with unique styles were actually produced in Old Lingdun!

[Frost Giant Mechanical Armor], some external skeletons, neuromechanical parts

The tattooed man introduced: "This is a batch of good goods from the North Sea Fleet."

Su Lun naturally knew where these things came from.

Previously, Oleg's Fourth Fleet plundered Old Lingdon and brought out a large number of underground machinery. In that batch of goods, there are also many good things with superior technology.

In the pirate city, there are probably a large number of old Lingdon "specialties" now.

He didn't behave too abnormally, and danced a few favorite pieces at random.

Su Lun felt that it was the right time to come to the Pirate City, and he got a lot of good things at the beginning.

He continued to search for goods, trying to get away all the mechanical equipment, blueprints, and materials he was interested in in this shop.

But as he searched, suddenly his heart trembled.

In the perception, a very special soul fire appeared not far away.

That's the "suspicious person" next to "The Butcher" Banner!

"Okay, that's all."

Su Lun didn't stay in the shop any longer, paid the money, took the things, and walked out of the shop unhurriedly.

Banner is in the Fourth Fleet, and their fleet will leave Blizzard City two days in advance, so it is not surprising to meet them in Pirate City.

The "suspicious person" also seemed to be here to select materials, and stayed in a shop not far from the next door for a while.

Su Lun planned to follow up, not necessarily to find out at once, but also wanted to touch the guy's bottom.

Most of the shoppers in the black market are dressed in cloaks and trench coats, and Su Lun is not afraid of being recognized. He intuitively has very good tracking skills, and it is impossible to be easily discovered.

Not long after, the "suspicious person" seemed to have bought the materials, walked out of a shop, and seemed to be planning to go to the upper city.

"I came alone."

Su Lun observed for a while, but did not find anyone else around this guy.

Instead of being careless, he became alert in his heart.

If this guy is really what he guessed, the "mysterious mechanic" who transformed Banner's mechanical body, then Banner should focus on protecting him.

Now a person came, either to keep his whereabouts secret, or because he had the strength to protect himself.

It cannot be underestimated.

"Who will it be? It really makes people more and more curious."

Su Lun's whereabouts muttered.

Seeing the man turn into the box, he thought for a moment and followed.

But he didn't follow very far, and he immediately realized something: "Sure enough, he was discovered."

Su Lun could sense the fire of the soul, so he easily caught the opponent's abnormal anti-detection action.

But he also pretended not to notice, and continued to follow.

In his mind, there was a high probability that this mysterious man came from Old Lingdun.

If so, he would have a rough assessment of the opponent's strength.

Under normal circumstances, the members of the mirror organization are considered the strongest underground.

It is difficult for this mysterious person to be taller than Chijo and the others.

So even if it is discovered, it is not a big problem.

What's more, with Su Lun's current strength, if he wants to leave with all his heart, even a fifth-level professional may not be able to stop him.

He was also curious about how he was discovered.

No, just walked into the alley.

The mysterious man appeared behind Su Lun like a ghost.

Before Su Lun opened his mouth, the other party asked, "You smell like 'X serum', who are you?"

Su Lun was shocked immediately when he heard this.

But at the same time, I caught a key word and instantly understood how I was exposed.

"Smell talent?"

I can smell the medicine by smell, and I also know that "X medicine", 99% of it comes from Old Lingdun.

He instantly thought of someone.

A friend who used to be in the dungeon, Apothecary Danny!

Su Lun rolled his eyes, and had a strange thought in his mind. But he also opened his mouth to confirm: "Who are you from Danny Banks?"

"."

Hearing this, the body of the mysterious man on the opposite side was obviously taken aback.

Obviously, he was extremely surprised that Su Lun would ask this question.
