Mechanical Alchemist

Su Lun had guessed before that there might be senior generals in the submarine who couldn't deal with them.

But it won't be high, at most [Major General].

After all, there are many top generals at the level of "General Star" in the Mafa Empire. Mechanical armor of that level is a strategic resource, and it is almost never exported abroad as a "dowry".

Moreover, the aristocrats have a set of fixed rules that have lasted for thousands of years, especially the royal family, and the pomp is also fixed.

The prince has the pomp of a prince, and the princess has the pomp of a princess, so don't overstep.

In layman's terms, the thirteenth princess, Skadi Harris, is not yet qualified to be married to a senior general of the [Lieutenant General] level.

Su Lun had figured this out, and that's how he came up with the current plan.

The original plan was that if he was a "brigadier general", he would be able to kill him.

If it is a "major general", it is probably time to retreat.

Although Qiantiao has already entered the Sword Saint Realm, and his swordsmanship is exquisite, but after all, he is only at the fifth level. If you really want to fight, the strength gap in the big ranks is not so easy to erase.

Moreover, mechanical armor is the nemesis of swordsman professionals.

Just like now.

Qiantiao entered the arena, directly resisting the major general officer with a domineering posture.

But even if the sword energy is sharp, it can cut a hundred meters of sword energy on the sea surface, and even cut off the waves, and it falls on the set of [Major General-level Demon Blade X1 Mechanical Armor], but it hardly leaves any traces of cutting.

There is an ablation barrier on the surface of this mechanical armor, which can ablate all energy attacks visible to the naked eye.

The magic lava whip in the mech's hand is also extremely sharp. A mechanical octopus can be maimed with a single whip, let alone a human body of flesh and blood?

Moreover, this set of [Major General level] armor is not as clumsy as a low-level armor at all. The mana power system has almost no pause time for charging power, and the action gap is extremely short, and it is very agile. Even the slight stiffness that cannot be eliminated by any mechanical equipment is enough to make up for it with super defensive and offensive capabilities.

The super defensive advantage of mechanical armor is here.

It can take a long beating, but don't let it touch you.

A whip down, a blow into the soul.

Qiantiao was able to face the hard steel armor, but he had to dodge the long whip.

A few face-to-face fights did not take advantage of the slightest.

Facing this kind of opponent, Su Lun tried his best to besiege them together. There is a chance to kill them, but it will take a long time.

It's a pity that the "Princess" and the eight frigates are all nearby, and a protracted battle is simply not allowed.

We must withdraw first!

Su Lun looked at the fierce battle ahead, rolled his eyes, and immediately had a plan in mind.

Instead of helping Qianjo, he controlled the mechanical octopus and headed towards the submarine!

Without that set of [Major General level] battle armor, for Su Lun, almost all other mechanical warriors would be under control.

Moreover, Su Lun's black scythe is also a great threat to submarines.

No matter how strong the steel plate armor is, it is one size fits all in front of space cracks.

The "major general" seemed to be aware of this.

After watching Su Lun kill two more of his subordinates, he didn't dare to make any more entanglements, and came directly to Su Lun, trying to restrain him. As soon as Qianjo entered the arena, this guy also clearly realized that it would be difficult to protect himself with only one of their ships, and it was impossible to keep people at all. Nothing can be done, the submarine that has been hacked several times is also ordered to dive quickly.

Su Lun squinted at the submerged submarine. Originally, he was sure to sink the ship.

He has spatial displacement, and it is not difficult to catch up.

But as soon as this idea flashed in his mind, it was replaced by another better plan.

Now even if it is sunk, he has no time to salvage it.

When the "Princess" came over, they still had to evacuate.

Moreover, this submarine is a combat ship, not the "secret mechanical research institute".

It's just that such a submarine can't satisfy his appetite.

With a flash of thought, Su Lun watched the submarine dive into the sea, and instead of chasing it, he pretended not to let go, and joined hands with Qianjo to fight against the "major general".

Low-level professionals couldn't get involved in this level of fighting, Su Lun informed Dr. Banks to let the low-level crew members in the sea go first. In a blink of an eye, the battle on the sea is only left with "generals against generals".

To deal with mechanical warriors, Su Lun didn't intend to consume his little puppet wealth.

He took out the rune black umbrella, pinched the double surgeon's seal, and the dense red spirit body rushed out with a mad will. There are nearly 100,000 grievances in the rune black umbrella, and these grievances can cause continuous attacks on the target.

Su Lun has personally experienced Black Flash's super "necromancy penetration", and he knows that even if this mechanical armor has an invigorating alloy that can resist most spiritual attacks, the continuous attacks of the wraith will also make the machine People in A are more and more affected.

Moreover, the wraith is immune to all physical attacks, even the [Magic Hot Molten Magma Python Knife] cannot hurt at all.

If it really takes time, once the "major general" is mentally controlled and his reaction is a little slow, Su Lun can immediately kill him with a black sickle!

Su Lun could also tell that this "Major General" wanted to hold them back and wait for the large army to come and kill them.

But where do they know how to fight?

While fighting with Qianjo, he led people into the depths of the storm.

The "major general" has been hanging far away. After probing, he also knew that Su Lun's attack range was limited, and the wraith of the black umbrella could cover a radius of several hundred meters. As long as it is not close to that range, it will not be affected.

But they didn't dare to fight in close quarters. How could they keep Su Lun, who had a strong displacement ability on the sea surface?

With a little cover-up, he and Chijo disappeared into the violent wind and waves.

Not long after, the "Dawn" in the storm.

Su Lun and Qianjo jumped onto the deck.

As soon as I got on the boat, I heard Tani's voice suppressing the sound of the rainstorm, and was directing the sailors on board to control the sailboat.

"Left full rudder, let's surf the waves!"

"Yes, fix the sails, we will ride the storm, not let the storm blow us away!"

"Hold on tight, everyone, we're going to surf!"

"."

On the deck, Lolotta, the three giant brothers, sumo wrestlers, and swordsmen all worked together to pull the cable hard, intending to make every command executed accurately.

Their boat was in the center of the storm, the waves here were tens of meters high, and the rain and waves washed over the hull and everyone like pouring.

This kind of storm and big waves is a catastrophic weather that means death for most navigators.

When encountering this kind of climate at sea, there is usually only one ending, and that is "shipwreck"!

But under the command of Tani, the three-masted sailing ship "Dawn" not only sank, but like surfing, gliding smoothly on the higher and higher waves, doing thrills again and again, which made people An incredible voyage.

Even Su Lun was terrified.

He fixed himself on the deck with the eight-armed spider lance, but the center of gravity was constantly shifting along with the tilting of the hull, tilting left, right, vertically, even almost upside down.

Being lifted up by the waves, or sprinting down from a high place, there is also the strong sense of overweight and weightlessness of sitting over a mountain.

It was the first time for Su Lun to experience such an exciting sailing.

Every time, I always feel that the boat is about to be overturned by the storm, but at the critical moment, it strangely rides on the next huge wave.

As if they were not battling a nasty storm.

It is a child who is loved by the sea, surfing in the storm, and carnival to his heart's content.

The waves crashed on the hull, and the sound of "crash la la" can be heard endlessly.

The heavy rain drenched both of them.

A thousand strands of blue hair stuck to his face.

The battle just now made her feel a little unfinished, but she looked at the young man who was commanding passionately in the cockpit, and she couldn't hide her appreciation in her eyes, and said with emotion: "Su Lun, the navigator you found is amazing."

"yes."

Su Lun's eyes were also burning with relief.

Although he had expected it, but seeing it with his own eyes, the shock in his heart was no less than that of Qiantiao.

When formulating the battle plan before, Su Lun shared some of his thoughts.

He asked Tani, can he drive a ship in that extremely severe storm?

Tani said very firmly, yes.

Su Lun believed him completely and gave him the command of the sea ship.

At this moment, looking at the confidence in the eyes of the Naga mixed-race boy, Su Lun knew that his trust was right.

Tani is definitely one of the best navigators in the entire pirate city of Hastling, or on this blue sea.

Qianjo smiled with the excitement of getting the baby, "Haha. From now on, he will be the chief navigator of our 'Dawn Regiment'!"

The ship was still shaking violently. Taney said that the storm might last for several hours.

In the field of vision shared by the black crow, the "Princess" at the end of the field of vision is no longer visible.

Such a strong storm will sink the ship if you are not careful. Even if she wanted to get "neuromechanical technology" again, the precious "Princess Frost Moon" probably didn't go after her so desperately.

There may still be submarines chasing after them in the sea, but Tani has already commanded the ships to distance themselves far away.

This is no "unlucky man cursed by the sea", the waves and storms will take care of him.

Where Tani is, the storm will follow.

A ship with the blessing of waves and strong winds is like an arrow leaving the string. At this speed, even a submarine can't catch up.

The situation looks thrilling, but in fact the most dangerous moment has passed.

Tani and the crew were the pilot of the ship, and Chijo also stayed on the deck. There was no need for Su Lun to worry, he walked into the captain's room.

Here, Dr. Banks, "The Butcher" Banner and some core cadres of the 19th Division have been waiting for a while. Although most of the team members were lost in the sea, this was already the best result. Those who were separated had prepared life-saving devices in advance, and after the storm passed, they could slowly fish them up in this sea area.

Seeing that Su Lun returned safely, Dr. Banks also breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Lun didn't ask anything else, and asked directly with expectation: "Doctor, are you ready to mark?"

Dr. Banks smiled and said, "No problem. I've put a biomarker on that submarine. No matter how far away it is, I can sense the position of their fleet."

Hearing this, a look of joy appeared on Su Lun's face, and he let out a long sigh of relief: "This is not a waste of time."

Suren had a chance to sink that submarine before, but he didn't.

In fact, it is to put a long line and catch big fish.

And the reason why this tactic can be successful is related to an ability of Dr. Banks. He can use [eternal cells] to mark objects. Then as the "mother", he can perceive the exact location of those cells.

Conventional magic marks, or other equipment marks, are easily found and removed in the military field.

And this biological biomarker is very secretive, just like the microorganisms attached to the hull, it will not be noticed at all.

In this way, Su Lun and the others can always know the location of the escaped submarine.

If the "Secret Mechanical Research Institute" is really in a submarine as Su Lun guessed, then such an important base must have guards.

The target of surface ships is too large, and submarines are the best choice.

These submarines were all brought from the Marfa Empire, and "Princess Frost Moon" Skadi definitely won't have too many of them.

So. There is a high probability that they will be together.

As long as you can determine the location, wait for Su Lun's octopus army to take shape, and then intercept and kill them next time, the success rate will be very high!

Finally, after two hours, the waves subsided.

The sun broke through the clouds and shone on the deck.

The storm washed the hull and it looked new and shiny.

Su Lun led Dr. Banks and his party onto the deck.

When everyone saw him, they greeted him one after another.

At this time, Tani also jumped off the mast, landed on the deck, and greeted: "Mr. Su Lun!"

Su Lun looked at the biggest hero of this operation and said with a smile: "Tani, thank you for your hard work. Your navigation skills are really good."

"not bad"

Hearing being praised, Tani turned her head in embarrassment. But in those clear light blue eyes, there was an inspired luster.

It wasn't his first time sailing a boat, but it was the only time it went so well.

Everyone believed in him and obeyed his commands on such a huge sea-going ship. No one looked at him differently because he was an "unlucky man cursed by the sea"; and no one looked down on him because he looked immature.

He felt a strong sense of being trusted!

Tany's thoughts were distracted, and Qianjo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Tani, you are very good. From now on, you will be the navigator of our Dawn regiment!"

As soon as Qianjo opened his mouth, he officially recognized his identity as a new crew member.

Hearing this, the crew members on the ship also cheered and praised, welcoming this new member.

"Welcome our new member, an excellent navigator!"

"Oh, can't believe we just sailed out of such a catastrophic storm 'unscathed'! Hahaha."

"Tani is the most powerful navigator I have ever seen!"

"Yeah. Really good!"

"."

The crew didn't skimp on their compliments.

Looking at the smiling faces full of kindness like family members, Ta Ni felt a deep warmth in his heart. His eyes became hot, and he responded excitedly: "Thank you Mr. Su Lun, thank you Qiantiao sister, thank you everyone"

He came to the Pirate City when he was very young, and because he is a hybrid of a sea monster and a human, he has been discriminated against and excluded all the time.

Because of his special physique, he is also known as "the unlucky man cursed by the sea".

Before his mother could speak, she told him to live a good life, and fate will favor everyone who faces life positively.

So, he has been working hard to live.

Even the mother has been completely petrified and hasn't spoken for many years.

He also firmly remembered his mother's words.

I have always tried to face life positively and optimistically.

While earning money, he earnestly studied sailing knowledge.

His dream is that one day, he will have his own partner, driving their own big ship, and explore every corner of this sea.

Tani thought about it, and suddenly tears filled his eyes, and they couldn't stop flowing out.

He had never met such an easy-going person. Everyone was full of kindness. For the first time, he experienced respect and equality.

That feeling is very wonderful, like seeing the sunshine after the storm in front of you, it makes people feel warm in the heart.

Rather than the intrigue, depression, and darkness in the pirate city.

At this moment, he saw the beauty of the world.

Children from poor families are easily satisfied if they have a little bit of happiness.

He thought about it, tears streaming down his face.

Seeing Tani crying, Lolotta handed over a handkerchief and said with a playful smile, "Here it is for you. Our crying Mr. Navigator."

"Thank you, Miss Lolotta."

Tani took it and smiled a little shyly, because there were still tears in the corners of his eyes, he looked extremely funny.

Qianjo couldn't help but smiled, and then introduced: "This is Mr. Banner. Many people on the ship should know each other, the Old Lingdon Steam Party. Now, he and his members are also part of our Dawn regiment. members!"

With that said, the boat immediately became lively.

"Whoa. Welcome old friends from the Steam Party."

"."

Most of the people from the Steam Party and the Cross Society are cadre-level masters, and many of them know each other well. Meeting on this boat, there is a feeling of "meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land". As soon as they introduced each other, the big guys didn't see anything special.

Chijo did not introduce Dr. Banks, this is what the doctor himself meant.

Even if he joined the "Dawn Regiment" now, he doesn't want to be known to exist, as long as he can conduct scientific research in silence.

This escape plan was perfect.

Almost every detail was as Su Lun had expected.

What they have to do now is to follow the biological markers and distress signals left by Dr. Banks, and slowly salvage the crew members who were scattered at sea before.

Now the weather is calm, and the ship is sailing on the sea without any haste.

The sky returned to clear and cloudless.

On the surface of the sea, the "Princess" fleet has completely disappeared, and the tense atmosphere before has completely dissipated.

Chijo is blowing the sea breeze on the mast, Dr. Banks is staying in the cabin and tinkering with his laboratory, Lolotta is practicing sword hard as always, and Banner and his brothers are trying to integrate into this new team.

The Liming Group has added some new members, and everyone is very happy.

Su Lun was basking in the sun on the deck, enjoying a rare leisure time.

But suddenly, Tani jumped down from the mast.

With a puzzled expression on his face, he said, "Mr. Su Lun, I have discovered something and I want to report it to you."

Su Lun looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tani frowned and said, "There seems to be something strange in the water."

Su Lun was a little puzzled when he heard this, and instinctively asked, "Is there something strange in the water?"

Hearing this, other people on the boat also looked over.

"Um."

Tani hesitated for a moment, as if recalling some unpleasant memory.

Seeing everyone's benevolent and puzzled eyes, he mustered up his courage and said, "Just now the fishes discovered that there are very strange things in the sea."

When Su Lun heard this, he was very surprised and said, "Can you communicate with fish?"

"Um!"

Taney nodded and said, "When I was a child, I could understand the words of small animals, but not all the time. Uh, now, I seem to be able to hear them all the time."

He had discovered that he had this ability before, and others had said so.

But that ability sometimes disappears, and it cannot be controlled at will. When he wanted to prove it but couldn't hear it, he was ruthlessly laughed at.

After that, he never mentioned it again.

"oh."

Su Lun realized that this might be a natural ability.

It's a bit like 【Talent C-021-Beast Whisperer】.

When people are experiencing great ups and downs, or when their mood changes greatly, it is easy to awaken their talents.

But Su Lun was not sure that this was Tani's natural ability.

Because he can also passively attract storms.

That is the gift of the Naga, the race favored by sea and storm.

However, Su Lun was more curious about other things than finding out about this problem.

He asked, "What's in it?"

Taney sorted out his thoughts, and tried to describe it: "Well, it has been there before. It seems to be 'eel', 'multi-tailed sea snake', 'octopus', or some other tentacle marine life. But 'they' It shouldn't be in this sea, and it seems to be following us now."

When Su Lun heard this, his eyes froze instantly.

Studies have shown that the perception ability of marine organisms is actually very strong, and some aspects are even stronger than those of human perception professionals. When something strange comes to a sea area, the fish will know it immediately.

Tani didn't know what it was, but Su Lun did.

After listening to the description, he immediately realized that there were other mechanical octopuses on the bottom of the sea!

Su Lun asked, "How many of those things are there?"

Tani said: "At least dozens of them."

"so much?"

Su Lun listened, instead of worrying, his eyes were filled with joy.

The dowry submarine of the "Princess Frost Moon" was not picked up. Grand Duke Raphael is going to give him some mechanical octopus as compensation?
