Mechanical Alchemist

Su Lun really felt that he had found a treasure.

Tani is not only one of the best navigators in Pirate City, but his innate ability to "listen to the voice of sea beasts" has also helped the Dawn Group a lot.

Otherwise, Su Lun wouldn't notice for a long time, they were already being targeted without knowing it.

The actions of mechanical octopuses in the sea are very stealthy, because they have the soul fluctuations and some life characteristics of normal octopuses. Unless they see it with their own eyes, it is difficult for even a sensory professional to tell the difference between them and ordinary octopuses.

With these advantages, they are easily overlooked in the deep sea area where marine life is dense.

But tracking is tracking,

think about it for a while,

Su Lun knew that these octopuses were not supposed to come for them in the first place, but most likely they were following the "Princess Frost Moon" Skadi.

Marfa married the king of the North Sea, and the pirates grew rapidly. This has also greatly affected the several great nobles whose territories were within the plundering circle of the North Sea Fleet, with Grand Duke Raphael bearing the brunt.

Therefore, if there is a chance, the most motivated person to assassinate the princess, Grand Duke Raphael is definitely among the top few.

But now the assassin, instead of following the "Princess", turned his head and followed the Dawn Group. Su Lun also guessed that there was a high probability that it was because of the mechanical octopus that appeared in the battle just now. There's that guy in the sea trying to figure out what's going on.

After all, the princess can find another chance to intercept and kill.

But Grand Duke Raphael's unique technology must not fall into the hands of outsiders!

Now knowing that he is being followed, it is natural to find out the person.

Moreover, in the case of the Dawn, it was impossible to get rid of it.

"It's not easy to lure that guy out."

Su Lun listened to the location described by Tani, the guy was hiding in the deep sea, far away, very cautious.

Probably because he was not sure that he could eat up their crew, and that guy didn't intend to stand up.

Tani can communicate with the school of fish, but they can also determine the location of some mechanical octopuses.

But because it is always moving, it is difficult to capture it accurately.

Going into the sea rashly may not be effective.

Once you beat the snake to death, the follow-up problems will be very troublesome.

The most important thing is that they are not sure where the "manipulator" is.

When Tani said this, many people on the boat paid attention.

Even Qiantiao cast a questioning look, the meaning was obvious: Do you want to do it?

Su Lun shook his head, not intending to startle the snake.

He raised his hand to signal, let everyone continue to do what they should do.

Seeing his demeanor, the crew had a tacit understanding, and no one came to ask anything curious.

And Su Lun was also thinking about strategies in his mind.

All the scenes after he came out of Pirate City appeared in his mind, and he deduced the whole process from the beginning, thinking: "Since that guy can always follow the future, there must be some special way to grasp the movements of the 'Princess'. Either there is an internal response , or a special positioning ability, or a mysterious ability such as divination and prophecy."

Su Lun ruled out all possibilities one by one.

The royal guards of "Princess Frost Moon" are all elites, and it is very difficult to follow without being noticed.

What's more, there are submarines in the water, even if there are mechanical octopuses, it is impossible to follow them at close range.

The distance is far away, so how can he not lose it all the time?

Mystical divination ability?

The requirements for professionals are a bit high, after all, the royal princess of Marfa must also have treasures such as preventive divination.

What's more, they all use mechanical octopuses, and they probably aren't traditional alchemists.

There is a possibility of internal response, but the probability is small.

For a while, Su Lun was not sure what method the "manipulator" used

Thinking about it, my thoughts went a little far.

At this moment, the crew members communicated with the communicator unconsciously.

"Mate Hayes, there is a distress signal three miles to the north. It should be a brother who fell into the water. Let's lean over and have a look?"

"Good! Turn the rudder!"

"."

The signal sound of "Zi Zi" was inexplicably clear in Su Lun's ears at this moment.

Although the Dawn is not big, the communication between the cabin and the deck will not work if it depends entirely on roaring. Especially in the bad weather before, the sound of wind and waves can overwhelm human voices, and the efficiency of communication is very low.

In order to accurately convey instructions, almost every ship is equipped with a mechanical communicator.

When Su Lun heard this, a sudden light flashed in his mind.

"By the way, it's the communicator!"

Only then did he realize that he had overlooked something in his preconceptions.

In his hand is the [Dagos Goblin Communicator], which can communicate securely over long distances regardless of obstacles.

This kind of communicator is good, but it does not have mass production capability.

Therefore, if you want to deploy it in the army on a large scale, it is still a conventional mechanical communicator.

And this kind of communicator has a fatal flaw, that is, all channels are common. Communication waves will spread indiscriminately within a certain range, so it is possible to be captured and deciphered by people.

No matter how advanced the communication equipment of Lu Ying and Marfa's military is, this problem cannot be avoided.

Su Lun rolled his eyes and guessed in his heart: "That guy should have some ability to decipher and capture communication signals, so he located the location of the 'Princess'."

Suddenly, he felt as if he had a way to lure the guy out.

The plan is formed in the mind in an instant.

Su Lun gave Qiantiao a signal, then took out the communicator on the ship, thought about it and said: "Hey, Captain, don't tell me, the six mechanical octopuses you got this time are really useful. Those Mafa submarines We were almost killed."

There was a flash of light in Qiantiao's eyes, and he immediately understood, and said, "That's not true."

Su Lun continued: "Hey, it would be great if the 'Old Ghost' could get us a few more. We wouldn't let that submarine go away before."

Speaking of which, Qianjo had already guessed what Su Lun was going to do, and continued: "Raphael's laboratory is not so easy to get in and out. It's not easy to get these mechanical octopuses this time. .”

Su Lun: "Those guys from the Lu Ying royal family put a reward on the black market for information, and they plan to spend a lot of money to buy these 'mechanical octopuses'. Even if we sell them in packages, we can make a lot of money. I heard that we The blueprint of the mechanical octopus in my hand can at least be exchanged for the title of 'hereditary marquis', not to mention the latest product of the three-headed 'experimental level'. Let me tell you, let's chat with those guys from the Luying Military Intelligence Department when we go back this time. .Oh, that's right! Those guys in Marfa definitely want it too. Then we can communicate with both sides and sell it for a good price."

Knowing that Su Lun was going to lure the enemy out, Qiantiao also agreed: "Well, let's make the decision like this. We have caught people here, so let's sell the blueprint when we go back. It's useless to keep it in our hands anyway. "

The two were clearly not far apart, but they used a communicator.

This kind of non-encrypted channel has almost no difficulty in eavesdropping.

If it was as Su Lun speculated, then their conversation at this moment should have been eavesdropped.

If that's the case, there's a high probability that that guy will do it.

There are actually some loopholes in the dialogue between Su Lun and Qianjo.

For example, why did they fight with the people from Mafa, why the blueprints and the inner ghosts couldn't stand scrutiny.

But he is sure that the "manipulator" will probably act.

Dr. Banks was previously the director of the experimental project under Archduke Rafael in Old Lington. Therefore, they are well aware of the strict confidentiality management system in the laboratory.

Grand Duke Raphael has many secret laboratories under him, researching various projects.

But the laboratory and the laboratory are independent and confidential to each other.

Inquiring without authorization is a felony.

Moreover, for the sake of technical secrecy, the biological department, the combat department, and the mechanical laboratory are completely independent departments. Between mutual members, there is hardly any communication.

And this "manipulator" will come to Beihai to carry out interception missions, and 80% of the people in the combat department. Then he has a high probability that he doesn't know the situation in the laboratory at all.

Therefore, he will not know what the "inner ghost" is.

But the conversation between Su Lun and the others will make people daydream and analyze!

Although three mechanical octopuses were lost in the Roxman Strait before, there are six in front of them. There are also three "mechanical octopus.plus", which is the "latest laboratory product" that Su Lun emphasized in the communication.

The controller absolutely does not know that there is another person who has mastered the "neuromechanical technology".

Under normal circumstances, any faction that captured a mechanical octopus, even if it fell into the Marfa military headquarters, would definitely not be able to be cracked so quickly.

For any outsider to come, the only reasonable explanation is that something went wrong inside the laboratory of Grand Duke Raphael, and things flowed out.

But none of that matters.

The important thing is that now that the problem has indeed come out, then we have to find a way to stop the loss!

The "manipulator" didn't dare to let Su Lun and the others leave, and he couldn't wait for support, so he could only take the risk of intercepting and killing them.

Otherwise, once they return to the pirate city of Hastling, he will have no chance to do anything.

Moreover, that guy is probably very confident in his mechanical octopus.

Dozens of mechanical octopuses come together, and top professionals have to avoid three points when they come.

Even if the enemy cannot be killed and the ship is destroyed, in this uninhabited sea, the energy consumption will kill these people.

as expected.

Not long after the communication, Tani immediately confirmed through the fish in the sea that the group of mechanical octopuses at the bottom of the water were approaching.

Su Lun unhurriedly took out some energy barriers and placed them under his feet. As soon as the rune black umbrella in his hand was opened, an invisible force of perception spread out.

Soul perception, everything is clear.

Because the other party took the initiative to approach, Su Lun sensed clusters of special soul fires, which were mechanical octopuses.

And among this group of soul fires, there is a group of very special existences.

The human soul fire and the octopus are very different.

Su Lunzhi scanned it and immediately confirmed that that guy is the "manipulator"!

He quietly told the most powerful Qiantiao and Dr. Banks on board the news.

Since the decision to attack, the enemy is also very decisive.

At this moment, the crew members on the side of the ship also saw the shadow that was chasing up rapidly in the water, and exclaimed.

"Captain, there are monsters in the water coming towards us! There are many!"

"Damn it, those tentacle monsters are attacking our ship!"

"."

Most people didn't understand what happened, but they could clearly feel the violent vibration of the hull. There were also abnormal sounds of "dongdong" and "click" from the cabin.

This is the movement of the chiseled boat.

The mechanical octopus can be called the strongest "ship-breaking weapon". Under normal circumstances, two or three mechanical octopuses can dismantle a sailing wooden boat into pieces in a short time, let alone dozens of them?

This one touch gave signs of a three-masted ship capsizing.

Su Lun looked at this, but he didn't panic at all. Instead, he felt happy: "Thirty-eight? Tsk tsk, there are quite a lot of them."

The "manipulator" didn't do anything before, that is to say, his strength is just like that.

Otherwise, if you are really sure to eat them, you will do it before.

Not worth worrying about.

At this moment, Su Lun also accurately captured the position of the controller's soul fire, and shouted loudly: "30 meters underwater, nine o'clock direction! Do it, grab that guy!"

"good!"

Hearing this, the strongest fighters on board Qianjo, Dr. Banks, and Banner jumped into the sea, ignored the mechanical octopuses, and swam towards the bottom of the sea.

At the same time, Warlock Su Lun pinched the seal, and the energy crystals under his feet burst out with dazzling light, and a huge cross instantly condensed in the sky.

"Puppet Mysteries·Puppet Theater!"

The moment the cross in the sky lit up, the transparent hair that had been arranged on the boat for a long time had quickly condensed into a solid body.

Those mechanical octopuses are doing their best to wreck the ship.

There are churning mechanical tentacles everywhere on the sea surface, and it looks like the sea water is boiling, which is extremely terrifying.

The crew is still fighting hard.

However, when the sword cut those mechanical tentacles, except for a flash of fire, it did not cause any damage.

Musket bullets, even individual artillery, couldn't leave much marks on the mechanical tentacles.

Facing the attack of this swarm of mechanical monsters, the Dawn Group seemed to be about to be wiped out.

The manipulator was probably thinking of "a wave", and the moment the ship sank, he wanted to kill the people on board as much as possible. Therefore, all the mechanical octopuses were gathered together and rushed over together.

Unfortunately, there is Su Lun on board!

If the mechanical octopus wants to exert force, it must need a fulcrum, and the tentacles are also attached to the hull, spreading to the deck, cabin, and mast.

It was this kind of close contact that gave Su Lun the opportunity to be entangled with silk threads.

At the moment when dozens of mechanical octopuses appeared, the countless silk threads that had spread throughout the entire ship also condensed into entities. Like catching prey that fell into a spider's web, those octopuses barely had time to struggle before being entangled tightly.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Su Lun to control dozens of powerful mechanical monsters at the same time with silk threads.

That level of wrestling, even the most powerful Hercules can't do it.

But after researching and producing during this period, Su Lun now knows the structure of the mechanical octopus like the back of his hand.

While the silk thread was winding, [spiritual tentacles] skillfully penetrated into the gap of the armor and found the nerve tissue of the octopus. It didn't take much effort to stop those dozens of mechanical octopuses from the source.

Although the Dawn was destroyed in an instant, those octopuses only acted fiercely for a while.

In the next second, it was as if the pause button had been pressed, and they froze on the spot.

The crew members who had been in a hurry before were stunned for an instant, and they all turned their heads to look at the figure standing on a fragment of the hull, with radiance in their eyes.

Lolota's old team members before Dawn had seen Su Lun's methods and looked at the silk thread in the sky.

The expression on his face turned from shock to ecstasy.

"Mr. Su Lun is mighty!"

"Hahaha Mr. Su Lun is really amazing!"

"."

No one thought that just now, it was still in a desperate situation that was about to be wiped out, but in the blink of an eye, it was reversed?

In this scene, even the "manipulator" was confused.

The pirate ship did not deviate from the plan, and was sunk in one encounter.

But what's going on?

He would never have thought that someone would use this method to crack the almost invincible mechanical octopus army.

how could it be possible.

Obviously, even Mafa's naval reorganization ships could be killed without any power to fight back before, so they were defeated so easily?

Before he could think too much, the state of astonishment turned into panic, and a sword qi with the momentum of thunder struck straight at him.

He saw several figures coming towards his hiding place!

Every time he hid in the sea and manipulated the mechanical octopus army to intercept and kill him, he had never been exposed. How did these guys determine his hiding place?

It's good that the enemy hasn't been found. Once they are found, how can the target escape?

Qiantiao's methods are also extremely sharp, it is impossible to give him a chance to escape, even in the sea.

What's more, after Su Lun controlled the mechanical octopuses, he "rebelled" the group of octopuses in an instant, besieging the controller in the water.

Not long after, that guy was chased to nowhere and was killed by Qiantiao with a single blow.

This guy is a "Super Mechanical Warrior". As expected, his combat power is only at the level of a fourth- or fifth-tier professional.

However, his mechanical limbs are a bit special, with fins on his hands and feet, equipped with an exquisitely designed [mechanical scuba], which can swim in the sea for a long time, and has a very strong hiding ability. As expected, a [communicator deciphering machine] was also found on this guy.

As for living?

Not required.

Suren can peel off soul fragments.

He devoured the gray mist on the corpse, and picked out the information he was interested in.

"You stripped the soul of 'Sid Highwind'"

"You have obtained "experience related to the maintenance, maintenance, and repair of mechanical octopuses""

"You have acquired a lot of knowledge about mechanical warriors, mechanical experience +554"

"You harvested part of the organizational structure, code words, and strength divisions of the Grand Duke Raphael's Special Legion from your memory."

"You extracted some information: 'Duke Raphael has a large secret base near 'Nugget Island', specializing in the manufacture of mechanical creatures'."

"Mental Power +4.1"

"."

"The base where Grand Duke Raphael made the mechanical octopus is near a place called 'Gold Nuggets Pirates', in the nameless wild sea west of the Black Tower?"

After Su Lun harvested this guy's memory, he immediately regained his energy.

It seems that not only dozens of mechanical octopuses have been harvested this time, but there seems to be a bigger secret?

When these mechanical warriors leave the factory, they have engraved the "thought seal" of absolute loyalty in their consciousness, no matter how tortured or hypnotized, they will not leak their secrets.

But Su Lun's soul stripping method directly bypassed those will barriers and stripped out this big secret.

"I finally know where the secret factory of Grand Duke Raphael is."

Su Lun's thoughts suddenly became active.

A large-scale research base means a large amount of materials, mature mechanical equipment, scientific research personnel, countless research materials, finished products, and semi-finished products

"Damn it, I became a pirate, so I felt a reflex thought in my mind, grab it?"

In an instant, Su Lun even had some battle plans in his mind.

A completely isolated military base means that outsiders should know as little as possible, and the defense force may not be particularly strong.

Like the old Lyndon Dungeon before?

Although the information in the base is not detailed enough, maybe it can be operated?

Just as Su Lun's thoughts were spinning, the members of the regiment in the distance also shouted.

Although a surprise battle ended without any danger, there were not even many casualties.

But the problem is that their ship was smashed into pieces by the mechanical octopus in the battle just now.

Debris was floating everywhere on the sea. Some crew members were on lifeboats, and some were holding barrels and floating on the mast. They looked embarrassed and funny.

"Captain Qiantiao, our warship has been destroyed, what should we do now?"

"Yeah, this is an uninhabited sea, almost no ships will pass by, and lifeboats probably won't be able to go back. The signal distance of the communicator is too far away, and it is impossible to call for help."

"Oh~ this is terrible, do you want to feed the sharks with our mighty captain?"

"."

The crew members weren't too pessimistic, each of them learned from Qiantiao's big heart, but they gloated a little.

Listening to the self-deprecating jokes of the crew members, Chijo rolled his eyes.

She glanced at Su Lun again and asked, "Boy Su Lun, you should be prepared, right?"

She knew Su Lun's character very well. Since she did it, she probably expected this result.

Hearing this, Dr. Banks also turned his questioning gaze over.

It's a bad situation on the ocean without a boat.

Su Lun spread his hands and said, "I'm really prepared. But it will take some time."

Hearing his words, everyone in the Liming Group heaved a sigh of relief.

This Mr. Su Lun can bring them big surprises in every desperate situation.

But at the same time, they are also very puzzled, now that the boat is gone, what else can they do?

Even if there is space to store things, at most a few small lifeboats can be taken out, which will not solve the problem at all.

Su Lun didn't explain much, he let out a long breath, pinched the Warlock Seal, and a black hole slowly condensed in his palm.

That's right, this is the seal of the warlock who unlocked the fourth-order reproductive outfit [Endless Stomach of the Air Whale].

Naturally, Su Lun would not waste such a large storage space.

It is estimated that various unexpected situations may be encountered, and then he stuffed all kinds of weird things in the space, most of which are large objects that cannot be accommodated in the storage space.

The biggest one is a whole three-masted galleon with a displacement of nearly a thousand tons!

However, it can be installed.

But whether it is to put away that sailboat or release it now, it is a very exhausting process.

Su Lun's current space ability is like an ant dragging an elephant. He just opened the "Little Void Realm", and he felt that most of his dark spiritual power was emptied.

As a last resort, he could only take out a bunch of energy spars, and while absorbing them, he continued to pour in dark spiritual power, making the black hole open wider enough for the boat to come out.

The crew of the dawn regiment watched the strange space black hole appear, but they didn't understand what Su Lun was going to do.

Everyone watched with great interest while cleaning up and salvaging the floating items in the sea.

However, a quarter of an hour later, when a huge three-masted sailing ship slowly emerged from the black hole.

Everyone's eyes were dull.

No one expected that Su Lun would bring a battleship with him!

Qiantiao's eyes were radiant, and he muttered to himself full of surprise: "This kid is really prepared."

Even the calm Dr. Banks' expression became very strange, and his face was full of disbelief, "It's really an exaggerated preparation."
