Mechanical Alchemist

[Heart of four-color elements] For any puppet-type alchemist, it should be like thunder.

This treasure is said to be a product of the goblin civilization era, representing the pinnacle of the golem's energy core.

This is true even now.

The "Elemental Core", one of the three mainstream puppet energy core design systems on the market, is based on this goblin technology system.

The same goes for Su Lun's line of puppeteers!

His current rune puppet, as well as the energy core of the alchemy gargoyle, all use various functionalized elemental hearts.

But in fact, this is an incomplete version.

The goblin civilization has disappeared for countless years, and the ancient alchemists only found some residual design drawings in some ancient books. So much so that the current "Elemental Heart" usually only has a single element.

The puppets created by this core usually only have a single ability. If there are multiple designs, the required design difficulty and puppet volume will increase exponentially.

It is said that the [Four-Color Element Heart] of the original goblin civilization perfectly solved this problem. It is the energy core that has the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire at the same time.

Not only are the four basic elements, but it can also efficiently convert between various elements. According to the needs of the puppet, it can instantly convert all kinds of energy needed by thunder, light, darkness, wood, and metal.

And, most importantly, it can "automatically store energy".

This kind of elemental core can automatically absorb the power of the surrounding elements to recharge when it is not used on weekdays. In other words, it is a theoretical "infinite energy core"!

This can be said to be the treasure that all puppet masters dream of.

It is also the reason why Su Lun was so surprised when he heard this term.

He is now using alchemy gargoyles to fight, and he is really strong.

But consumption is also very exaggerated.

Every action requires a large amount of energy crystal nuclei, which is all one-time. The more intense the battle, the more it needs to be consumed. It is purely a waste of money.

To change the description,

Su Lun's energy supply method for the puppets is like plugging "dry batteries".

And if you have the [Four-Color Elemental Heart], it is equivalent to having your own "Ae Power Station" for the puppet!

This kind of thing, even in the notes of his teacher Seliya, has recorded countless attempts to restore this magical goblin technology.

Su Lun asked: "You mean that half a year ago, someone found a [Heart of Four Color Elements] from the goblin civilization period on the 'Fog Barrier Hell Island'?"

"Yes."

The young stall owner seemed to think that everyone knew the news, and there was nothing to hide, and said, "The priests of the Agapanon Temple also confirmed the news. That's why so many puppet masters came from all over the place to hear the news. But "Hell Island" is very dangerous. Except for the person who survived by chance, I have not heard of anyone who went up and survived. Some people found some ancient relics and shipwrecks on the outskirts of the archipelago. Not only the heart of the elements, but also many Other ancient treasures, which also attracted many foreign adventurers to take risks.”

"That's it."

Su Lun listened to the thoughts in his mind, and quickly sorted out the cause and effect of the matter.

He asked again: "Who is that person who survived?"

The young stall owner said: "Now the King of the Central Arena, Baron Opatra the Lionheart. At that time, after Bai Sheng, he went to participate in the "Hero Trial" and wanted to kill a high-level deep sea giant monster alone. Then he strayed into the 'fog barrier sea area' and discovered the island full of treasures. Some people speculate that there should be the remains of a lost ancient city. It has only come up from the bottom of the ocean in recent years."

When Su heard this, he realized that it wasn't a single treasure, but that there were many treasures on the "Devil's Island".

Before, he had instinctively wondered if it was for him. After all, puppet masters are a minority of professionals, so the sudden appearance of such an alluring puppet treasure is a coincidence no matter how you look at it.

Now the doubts in his heart were almost completely dispelled.

This kind of sudden treasure discovery is quite normal in this sea where countless treasures are buried.

What's more, the news came out half a year ago.

After all, it's a flea market, so it's not easy to chat with people who don't know each other well.

Su Lun didn't continue to ask. He planned to go to the intelligence dealer and spend some money to buy more detailed information.

The girl stall owner didn't intend to continue talking, and started to promote her own rune puppet, saying: "Sir, I think you should also be a puppet master, and this [Rune Puppet] is perfect for you." .I can guarantee that they are definitely the best choice among puppets of the same level. And the price is also very cheap."

After a pause, she was afraid that she was worried that the customer who had finally come to the door had left, so she directly revealed the price, "If you need it, [Smile Doll] is only 50,000 liso, and [Wailing Doll] will be more expensive, eight more Chiliso is fine."

What the brunette girl said is indeed good, the rune puppet is indeed the most effective among puppets of the same level.

Su Lun took a look, and the material cost of these puppet materials should have exceeded 30,000. Counting the labor and technical costs, the price is already very conscientious.

Generally speaking, puppetry will not sell their own combat puppets.

Unless you are short of money.

Although we didn't chat a few words, Su Lun had a good impression of this girl, and smiled: "How do you know that I'm a puppet master?"

The young stall owner pointed to his fingers and said, "Your fingers are slender and slender, with well-developed flexor and extensor muscles. I just saw that you bought some puppet materials at another stall, so you should not be a musician, but It's the puppet master."

As she spoke, as if explaining her rude observation without consent, she showed a cute smile and added: "In this flea market, after all, colleagues still care about their business."

The upbringing is very good, and it seems that his family background was good before.

After all, being a puppeteer is not something ordinary professionals can afford.

The girl's words made people feel disgusted. Su Lun looked at his palm and said with a smile, "I have good observation skills. I do know a little about puppetry."

He took out a small bag of gold coins and said, "I bought all these four puppets."

The girl immediately became happy when she heard that, "Thank you!"

Su Lun didn't care, and asked casually, "May I ask, is your puppet technique inherited?"

There is nothing wrong with the inheritance of teachers, especially for professionals, the inheritance system with a long history will make people feel that what they have learned is orthodox and more worthy of respect.

When the girl heard this, she said proudly, "Have you ever heard of the alchemy demigod thousands of years ago, Sir Isaac?"

Su Lun nodded, "Of course."

The girl said again: "That demigod's wife is the ancestor of our 'Puppet Master' lineage. I inherit the lineage of 'Boyle Puppet Master'."

As Su Lun listened, an imperceptible strangeness flashed across his eyes, and he asked, "Robert Boyle?"

"Yes! Have you heard of it?"

The girl couldn't hide her surprise.

The puppeteer is a minority, and the puppeteer is a minority among the minority, so it is usually difficult for people to know.

She thought that no one would know if she said it, but she didn't expect the person in front of her to know, and even said his name in one gulp.

She said proudly, "That's the ancestor of my Boyle family!"

Hearing this, Su Lun sighed slightly in his heart, he didn't expect that they were really from the same family. He said to himself: "Mr. Robert is a respectable master in the field of puppetry."

His teacher Sereya had three disciples during her lifetime, and Robert Boyle was one of them.

In terms of seniority, he is still his senior brother.

This is his brother's descendant

Su Lun also felt a little embarrassed.

At this time, he saw the ring in the girl's hand, engraved with the Isaac family crest.

Su Lun felt familiar, and asked, "Um, can you show me the ring on your hand?"

When the girl heard it, she looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She quickly protected the ring and said with a vigilant face, "This is not for sale!"

She seemed to think that her stress response was a little rude to a strange customer, and explained: "This is just an ordinary ring. It is a heritage of our family, nothing special."

Naturally, Su Lun knew, because it was identified as a [broken alchemy ring], which had no special effect.

He said: "I'm just curious and want to see it. If it's inconvenient, forget it."

The girl looked at Su Lun's kind smile, and there was no reason to refuse after thinking about it. She took off her slender finger and put on the ring, and handed it over carefully: "If you want to take a look, that's fine."

Su Lun took it and saw the words "To my disciple Robert Boyle" engraved on the inner wall.

During this period of time, he read a lot of notes left by Seliya. The handwriting was very familiar, and it was indeed left by his teacher.

Su Lun sighed inwardly.

This is really the ring left by my teacher a thousand years ago, fate.

After only one glance, he handed the ring back, "Thank you. This is a very precious antique, please keep it well."

The girl stall owner looked a little puzzled.

Su Lun didn't explain much. At this moment, he took out a tome and said, "Here are some puppet drawings I found earlier."

After hesitating for a moment, he pointed to the puppet materials on the booth, "If possible, um... I plan to exchange for these materials."

"drawing?"

The girl's expression was a little confused, the puppet drawings are very valuable.

She felt the deal was patently unfair.

Is there something wrong with the drawing?

Probably not. How could such a generous guest covet such little material.

The girl didn't bother to look through the pages, but agreed, "Okay!"

Su Lun nodded with a smile, put away the materials, and left the booth.

He didn't stay long in the trading market, and gradually disappeared into the crowd.

Seeing that the person disappeared, Karma finally realized it. She looked at the ancient books in her hand in a daze.

At this moment, an impatient voice appeared in my mind: "Sister, take a quick look, what is the design of the puppet!"

Karma looked at the basket beside him, there was no one there, only a bunch of semi-finished puppets.

She wrinkled beautifully, and muttered in a low voice: "Albuquerque, I told you not to use spiritual communication indiscriminately. Have you forgotten that our family was robbed by pirates? I suspect that the Tirmido family is here There are ghosts behind the scenes, if you are still alive, it will be bad if they find out. If you are not obedient, I will not take you out to set up a stall next time."

The voice sounded in my mind again, "Got it, sister. Take a look at the blueprint!"

Karma didn't say much, and opened the tome left by the stranger just now.

If only those materials were exchanged, she thought it shouldn't be some valuable basic puppet design.

Unexpectedly, when she flipped through it, her eyes froze.

Looking at the dense rune records, as the inheritor of "Puppet Master", she couldn't understand, this is the original design of "Rune Puppet"!

how is it possible

Isn't it lost?

How can there be such a detailed design drawing.

"this"

Kama felt as if struck by lightning, her mind went blank for an instant.

After being stunned for a moment, she suddenly realized what she saw, and suddenly turned her head to look at the crowd, trying to find something.

Unfortunately, the guest was no longer seen.

Su Lun walked the streets.

Before that, he naturally also discovered that there were soul fluctuations in the pile of semi-finished products carried by the young stall owner.

A puppet with a soul?

This is very interesting.

Sure enough, it is worthy of being the inheritance of my teacher's lineage, and it seems to have made some interesting puppets.

Su Lun didn't intend to find out.

After all, his current situation is not very good, and there may be fierce battles at any time.

Since the line of "Robert Boyle" has been passed down for a thousand years, then let's continue to pass it on.

I sent some basic rune puppet designs, which can be regarded as taking care of my fellow students.

Su Lun thought about it, and went to several news merchants in the city.

Many parties asked about the [Four-Color Element Heart] about the puppet treasure, and almost all of them confirmed that the rumors were true.

Indeed, a new archipelago named "Alcatraz" was discovered, and there are many treasures on the island.

As for the danger, it is said that there are many powerful sea beasts in that sea area, especially near the "Alcatraz Island". It is said that there are siren sirens, harpies, sea ghosts and other strange sea monsters in the sea . There are also various huge ferocious monsters, octopuses with tentacles of 100 meters, orangutans like hills, giant deep-sea crocodiles, strange lantern fish, and huge flying monsters

There are monsters in the sea, that's normal.

But when Su Lun heard someone say that he had seen a 100-meter-long giant octopus monster, he was still looking forward to it.

After all, the mechanical octopus needs to use the biological nervous system and some body tissues as materials. He needs a large enough organism as a sample in order to make a larger mechanical octopus.

The most important thing is that the direction of "Alcatraz" is similar to the direction to the Void Ruins.

Anyway, they are all going.

If it is possible, then [Heart of Four Color Elements] he wants to get it.

The increase in Su Lun's combat power is no less than a few more finished Gargoyles. If you can still get the original design drawings of the goblin civilization period, it will be a priceless treasure, and it can even rewrite the future development of the puppet energy core in this era.

It would be a lie to say that I am not moved.

The information obtained from the intelligence merchant was very mixed. After listening and analyzing it, Su Lun had a general impression.

In short, there are many unknown dangers in that sea area.

After final consideration, he wanted to meet the only person who had landed on "Alcatraz Island" and survived—"Lionheart" Baron Opatra.

At the same time, Su Lun became very interested in the concept of "Hero Trial".

In Roman, there is a special inheritance system. After the gladiators have won hundreds of battles in a row in the arena (this is an imaginary number, meaning that they have no opponents), they can choose the "Hero Trial".

They need to sail out to sea alone, and then kill a strong enough siren.

When they come back with the head of the sea beast to sacrifice, they will be blessed by the "God of War Tyr" and get some special inheritance.

Usually, those who are eligible to participate in the "Trial of Heroes" are around the sixth level.

After returning, they were blessed, and the probability of breaking through the seventh level was very high.

Su Lun was walking down the street.

The streets of the Moros city-state are very wide and beautifully planned.

A horse-drawn carriage that runs through the city from north to south can be divided into two halves.

Standing on the main street, you can see the huge fountain square in the center of the city at a glance.

In the center of the square stands a huge stone statue nearly 100 meters high.

The stone statue is carved with a one-armed warrior holding a long sword, domineering and majestic.

This is 【The Statue of God of War Tyr】, the god of faith of the Romans.

The statue has no clothes, and its muscular lines are beautiful, which also reflects the Romans' primitive worship of strength and the body.

Roman's gladiators had extremely high mortality rates, but the vast majority were voluntary.

The reason why they like to fight is because they are not afraid of death from birth, but they are afraid of ordinary death.

Natural death or death from illness is called "firewood death", which ends life as ordinary as dry firewood.

This is not an ideal destination for the Romans, they prefer to die on the battlefield.

Because in Roman legends, brave warriors will go to heaven after death. There will be Valkyries who will give them the kiss of death, and then be taken into Valhalla. In that heavenly palace, they will enjoy all the good treatment in the world.

(PS. The Valkyries are all very beautiful women, with beautiful white arms and breasts and golden flying hair. They wear golden helmets, blood-colored tight battle robes, holding luminous spears and shields, riding pure white horse.)

The popular explanation is, enjoy the blessings in heaven, enjoy the bliss in the world with wine and meat accompanied by fairies.

Su Lun walked all the way through the central square, and muscular Romans could be seen praying to the statues everywhere.

He got the news that the "Lionheart" Baron Opatra was in the biggest brothel in the city at the moment.

This kind of strong man is very popular with women, and it is the dream of all Roman women to sleep with him. Even those noble ladies hoped to have good offspring with him.

In the legend of Roman, the descendants of heroes have a higher probability of becoming heroes.

Su Lun understood, a bit like a stallion.

Good seeds make good foals.

But just after walking through the central square, he suddenly stopped.

Su Lun looked at the side of the pool, where a painter in local Roman costume was painting for passers-by to earn money.

Su Lun looked at the painter with messy hair. Although his appearance was strange, his soul fire was very familiar.

He recognized at a glance that this guy was Vincent F. Van Gogh, one of the "Top Ten Legendary Bounty Hunters" and the "Painter of God"!

The dignified and legendary bounty hunter actually sells paintings here?

"This guy failed to assassinate before, but now he is chasing him again?"

Something came to Su Lun's mind.

The painter was painting on the linseed oil canvas with a brush. When Su Lun was looking at him, the guy seemed to have noticed something and turned his head to look over.

Seeing the smile on his lips, Su Lun knew that he recognized him.

Judging by the other party's demeanor, it seems that they still want to chat a few words.

Su Lun left in no hurry.

After waiting for a few minutes, the lady who bought the self-portrait also left.

Su Lun walked over.

Van Gogh, one of the top ten legendary bounty hunters, didn't have the airs of a master at all, so he took the initiative to say hello, "Hey, long time no see."

Although Su Lun felt unfamiliar with this guy, he didn't feel any malice, and responded politely: "Mr. Van Gogh, long time no see."

Van Gogh didn't seem to care about those false names, he changed a canvas and started to paint a new painting. While painting, he said: "I have to say that the Romans really understand art. The buildings here are really beautiful. Speaking of which, I have been a mural restorer here for ten years."

Su Lun was slightly surprised.

Are all the top masters so simple and honest, they have worked as mural restorers, and they seem to like that profession very much?

Su Lun didn't want anyone to talk about art, so he asked directly, "Who do you serve?"

Van Gogh said in a relaxed tone: "I'm a bounty hunter. Of course I serve money. Last time I took a shot because I received a reward from the Luying royal family and paid back a favor that I had to pay back. It's hard to say this time. "

Su Lun was also curious about the charges of this legendary bounty hunter, and said, "Please take action, what price do you need to pay?"

If you can really spend money to please, if you really want to fight, this is a big obstacle.

Van Gogh smiled slightly and said, "It depends on your mood."

"."

When Su Lun heard this, he knew that hiring was useless.

This kind of top powerhouse is most likely not to earn bounties, especially those who are engaged in art, their ideas are very strange.

Su Lun asked again casually: "Your Excellency is still here for "Princess Frost Moon" Skadi? "

Van Gogh did not hide his purpose at all, "Yes. But she has never shown her face, and it is not easy to kill her. However, I heard that there are many people who hit her attention, maybe I don't need to do it."

Don't think that the North Sea is a territory of pirates, but whether it is Lu Ying or the nobles like Grand Duke Rafael, they all have their own perfect intelligence system.

For this guy to be able to chase here, there must be relevant sources of information.

The two encounters, Su Lun didn't think it was a coincidence, he always felt that this guy seemed to know him.

But if this guy doesn't take the initiative to say it, he will definitely not be able to find out if he asks.

Thinking about it, he tentatively said: "If possible, I can buy an information."

Van Gogh said, "Oh?"

Su Lun said: "I want to get a treasure from Princess Frost Moon. It should be a gift exchanged between Oleg and Mafa."

"I really know that. But I won't charge you."

Van Gogh paused for a moment, and said: "There is news that "Princess Frost Moon" Skadi will secretly escort a batch of goods back to Marfa in the past few days. The ship at Pier No. 7 has not been confirmed yet, and it should be a pirate ship. The exact delivery time is yet to be determined. But there are already many people staring at this batch of goods. "

Su Lun also felt that he was asking the right person.

This is what he went to inquire before, and there was no news about the intelligence merchant.

He asked, "Aren't you going?"

Van Gogh shook his head and said, "No. I'm only interested in people. Whoever likes to toss about that batch of goods can go to toss."

After a pause, he said: "And someone intercepted a piece of top-secret information from the Marfa Military Intelligence Department, and deciphered it as 'the ocean currents and winds are coming, we must set sail as soon as possible'. I suspect that there must be something very precious in that shipment. , but the real intention of the Stiga princess is to use this as a bait to attract attention."

"."

As Su Lun listened, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his thoughts began to wander.

What does this guy mean, that he even said such top-secret information?

Others don't know the meaning of that sentence, but Su Lun does. To go to the sea area on the side of the space ruins, you need to wait for specific ocean currents and wind directions.

This information basically matches what this guy guessed.

At this time, Van Gogh's painting has been finished.

"This is my new work, The Potato Eaters."

He motioned to Su Lun to look at his canvas, looking radiant, as if he was quite satisfied with his work.

It was a very strange painting.

In the painting, several people with abstract faces are sitting around the dining table, holding knives and forks.

There was a plate of potatoes on the table, and they seemed to be discussing how to divide the meal.

Dim oil lamps illuminate a corner, and the overall tone of the picture is dark.

It seems that there is a kind of depression that is obviously not scary, but creepy.

Van Gogh looked at his paintings with deep eyes, frowning as if he couldn't understand something.

He pondered for a moment, as if he saw some kind of "hint" from the painting, and then muttered in an uncertain tone: "Is there a huge monster hidden in the dark?"

Divination ability?

Su Lun vaguely understood something.

It turns out that the focus of this painting is not the people holding the tableware, but the neglected background?

He thinks this guy's abilities are really special, he can kill people with paintings, and he can also divination

But what does this mean if it is unclear?

(Fuzzy divination, avoid backlash as much as possible)
