Mechanical Alchemist

The legend of the "North Sea Giant Monster" has been circulating in the northern seas of Luying for at least thousands of years.

Maybe not this one, maybe this kind of titan octopus group.

But Su Lun also had to admit that this kind of big man was really at the top of the food chain in the sea.

Fifty mechanical octopuses are enough to destroy a fleet of dozens of warships, but fighting with this guy did not take advantage at all, and several of them were scrapped one after another. If it really continues to consume to the end, the mechanical octopus army may be completely wiped out.

Fortunately, Princess Stiga, who was brought by the "King of Thieves" Merdis, ran away, so Su Lun was able to free up his hands.

Together with Dr. Banks, he poisoned and attacked the soul again. After tossing about for a long time with various methods, he finally trapped the big guy, and then used the winches on the three battleships to pull him up, wasting his strength. Only then was it stuffed into the "Little Void Realm".

Su Lun has always wanted to catch a giant octopus to make a super-sized mechanical octopus, but the octopuses on the market are far from meeting the demand.

This North Sea giant monster just fell asleep and met a pillow.

It is of the blood of the Titans, and it is also a creature of the overlord level. Not only its size, vitality, but also its growth rate far exceed expectations.

Simply the most ideal material.

But Su Lun still has the ability to capture this giant sea monster.

And Dr. Banks is also very interested in this ancient bloodline creature. He took a lot of blue blood and body tissue samples for research.

He said that in the future, there may be an opportunity to extract the "Titan gene" in the blood to produce [ancestral potion], and there is an opportunity to artificially cultivate this "Titan octopus".

Not to say it must be as strong as this one, but at least it is much bigger than ordinary octopuses.

Once it can be cultivated artificially, its nature will be quite different.

Su Lun feels that the future is promising.

There are really three or five such lucky mechanical octopuses, not to mention sailing battleships, even the giant steel ships of Mafa, which are capable of fighting.

However, the unit price of a small octopus is more than 100 million lisos. The modification cost of a mechanical octopus of this size is estimated to be astronomical.

Su Lun didn't think too much about it for the time being, and took one step at a time.

No matter what, it can be regarded as a big gain.

Of course, the price paid is not small.

The few arrows that forced Princess Frost Moon away just now consumed about one-tenth of [Sands of Time], which is inestimable in value.

Fortunately, apart from this "Northern Sea giant monster", there are some other gains.

Su Lun and some people from the Dawn Regiment were catching octopuses, while people from the other two boats went to salvage the spoils of the "Pulsatilla" and several pirate regiments that had been sunk before.

Because it was covered by artillery, all five ships were beaten to pieces. There are a lot of wooden debris, treasure chests, and barrels floating on the sea.

Of course, there are some survivors.

When Su Lun finished capturing the "Northern Sea Giant Monster", the salvage work was still going on there.

A large number of treasures were picked up one after another by Lu Lu and sent back to the battleship, where they piled up into mountains on the deck.

"Hahaha this time the spoils are not due to our rounds of shells!"

"That's right. Many of these treasures have never been seen before. This top-quality [seven-color gemstone], I heard in Roman is also a 'divine object' enshrined in the Temple of Agaparton. Tsk tsk. This is an eye-opener."

"Mr. Su Lun, look quickly, is this the [Kronos' Void God's Hand] you mentioned? Wow, there are several space treasures."

"."

Seeing the treasures being picked up one by one, Su Lun also had a look of joy on his face.

The legendary [Kronos' Hand of the Void God] was also on board as expected. It happened to be placed in a treasure chest and floated on the sea, and the first batch was salvaged.

After appraising it, it turned out that this was indeed an alchemy breeding suit that was highly compatible with Qiantiao, and after fusion, it would allow people to have a very exaggerated ability of "dual penetration between objects and demons". For light swordsmen, this is definitely a qualitative improvement in combat power. In the future, against heavy armor professionals, the slash damage will also be greatly increased.

There is no need to doubt the quality of the breeding equipment. Instead, consider whether the curse feature is too strong, and whether the fusion of thousands of pieces will be distorted.

After picking up the treasure, Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief.

This time they chased the "Pulsatilla", the original purpose was for this treasure.

But gradually, looking at the more and more exaggerated treasures piled up on the deck, Su Lun's eyes gradually became serious.

[Heroic Spirit of the Brave], [Quicksand Crystal of the Muse], [Golden Ear of Wheat of the God of Fertility Frey].

These are treasures of the same grade as the [Golden Fleece] seized before, and almost everything is related to ancient mythology.

Apparently, these guys from the Temple of Agathaparton offered sacrifices to the sea.

But now it was intercepted and salvaged by them.

Su Lun frowned.

It can also be determined from the sacrificial offerings that the specifications of this sacrificial offering are frighteningly high.

what does it feel like

It's probably like you originally just wanted to rob the rich and help the poor to fight a small nobleman, but you didn't expect to rob the emperor who was visiting privately in Weibo.

There are too many treasures, but it makes people feel uneasy.

This made Su Lun feel that there was a big problem with the priest.

At this moment, Lolota, Karma, and Tani came back happily driving the assault boat. From a long distance, they shook their hands and shouted: "Mr. Su Lun, we have captured a man you want alive!"

The three of them got a person onto the boat. It was a wet priestess wearing a magic bracelet. Blonde hair, blue eyes, high nose bridge, standard Roman beauty.

After boarding the boat, Lolotta was still excitedly talking about the process of capturing the prisoners of war just now: "This person is hiding in the depths of the sea, and I don't know why she has been sinking. If it wasn't for Tani, we would not have found her."

Tani also had a proud expression on his face, like a child waiting to be praised.

Su Lun listened and praised the three of them: "Well, you did a good job."

Probably seeing that Su Lun was the speaker of the dawn group, the priest raised his head and glared at him with vicious eyes, saying: "You outsiders have blasphemed the great Sea God and angered Lord Sea King, and you will be punished. He is the enemy of our Roman!"

"."

Su Lun frowned.

He didn't think it was all verbal curses.

He was assassinated by the [Golden Spear] in the city before, this time the "Treasure of Alcatraz", and everything in the current sacrificial activities, the Temple of Agapanon played an unimportant role behind the scenes.

He didn't want to kill the prisoners, but from the looks of it, the possibility of getting information from the priest was not high.

Without any hesitation, Su Lun raised his hand and pulled it with his fingers, and a line of blood immediately appeared on the neck of the beautiful priestess in front of him.

Vitality quickly disappeared from her face, her head clanged and fell on the deck, blood gushing like a fountain.

Blood sprayed all three of Lolotta's faces, and each of them had slightly puzzled eyes, not realizing why Su Lun would suddenly kill someone.

Su Lun didn't explain, and the phantom of the god of death appeared behind him, and directly swallowed the "grey mist" on the corpse.

"You stripped the soul of 'Olluen'"

"You have obtained some historical secrets about the Temple of Agaparton"

"You have received a piece of information: Half a year ago, the High Priest predicted that 'a foreign puppet master will bring disaster to Roman Kingdom'."

"You got the message: 'The Sea Ritual of Living People can bring good luck to the Roman Kingdom and get the blessing of the Sea God; no one can come out alive, they will stay in the ruins forever. This time attracts those foreign adventurers to go treasure hunting , Master Neptune will be very satisfied with so many fresh souls, and this will bring Roman stability in the sea area for the next few decades.'”

"You have a piece of information: 'The [Golden Spear] can only be wielded by Onis Popov, a handsome and charismatic man, a born hero. Oh, and he is intimate with the other priests in the temple relationship, and I am no exception'"

"You got the message: 'Princess Stiga heard that there is a [Ouroboros Fragment] on Alcatraz Island, so she wants to exchange that treasure from Sea King Drake with a sacrifice.'"

"."

Searching for keywords, Su Lun solved all the doubts in his mind at once.

The amount of information is very large!

As soon as he digested it, it made him feel very painful again.

It turned out that the one who shot him with the [Golden Spear] in the city before was Oleg's second son Onis Popov.

Similar to the rumors circulating in the outside world, this guy is the offspring of Oleg and Helvetia, the high priest of the Agapanon Temple.

Of course, gossip such as "the two spent seven days and seven nights in the temple" and "the temple has become the harem of Oleg and his son" are not important anymore.

What Su Lun was more concerned about was that the reason why the guy shot him was really because of an inexplicable "prophecy".

Isn't the causal relationship reversed?

I don't care if you don't poke me with a spear first

This beam is knotted.

But Su Lun felt that the priestess probably didn't know the whole truth.

The prophecy was uttered by the "High Priest", and only she herself knew what was prophesied.

Even the [Heart of Four-color Elements] that can make the puppet warlock spread out deliberately because of this prophecy, in order to attract puppet masters from all over the world to Alcatraz.

And the news of the "treasure of Alcatraz" was spread, and the temple was naturally behind it.

They want to attract outsiders and complete the "Sea Festival" that happens every few decades.

Kill many birds with one stone.

Sacrifice hundreds of thousands of human lives in exchange for Roman's decades of good weather and prosperity for the country.

Knowing the truth, Su Lun immediately lost any affection for the "Nation of God of War" and "Nation of Heroes".

Sure enough, the ancient alchemists were right to expel these god believers.

Some fanatics are simply cancerous to human civilization.

As for the consequences of interrupting the sacrifice, the priestess didn't know.

She only knew that it would lead to "catastrophic consequences."

And people in this sea area will stay in the "sea ruins" forever and become sacrifices.

Including herself.

In the past, these priestesses never thought about going back alive.

Su Lun peeled off the information, and just after digesting it, he immediately shouted through the communicator: "Everyone, go back to the ship immediately!"

He immediately realized that there was no instant to salvage the spoils.

They must leave this sea immediately.

Everyone at sea was a little surprised when they heard Su Lun order. Although it was a pity to look at the treasures that sank into the sea, everyone also started to rush back to the boat in the assault boat.

Hearing Su Lun's serious tone, Qianjo came back from the sea and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Lun frowned and replied, "There may be major changes in this sea area."

Coincidentally, just as he said this, suddenly, the world changed.

Thunder was rolling in the sky, and the sea was suddenly howling with a gust of wind, and the waves became more and more exaggerated.

In a very short period of time, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to form a super huge skull shape, and those empty eyes stared at the three warships of the Dawn Regiment, as if a god was watching the world, making everyone terrified.

Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly.

He stared at the skull, and the identification showed [Sea King Drake's Death Aura Projection], and murmured: "Sea King?"

Taney also heard something, and exclaimed: "Mr. Su Lun, the fish are panicking, as if something bad is about to happen!"

The crew reacted in an instant and quickly boarded the ship one by one.

"Forget about the spoils, come aboard!"

"If the Zodiac can't be received, don't take it, grab the cable!"

"Quick, pick up the brother who fell into the water"

"."

Fortunately, Su Lun reminded the crew in the sea to be prepared in advance. After a lot of trouble, all the crew members got on the ship without any danger before the upheaval.

But at this time, dark clouds covered the sun, and the sea was pitch black. The waves were tens of meters high, and the three battleships were as small as blades, and their hulls shook violently. The pouring rain is splashing on the deck, clatter, clatter

The sea, which was still sunny and sunny before, suddenly became terrifying like the end of the day.

No one has ever seen such exaggerated waves. In the face of the power of nature, human power seems so small. A wave of this level can sink the three three-masted sailboats of the Dawn Regiment to the bottom of the sea in an instant.

In the rainstorm, Tani, the chief navigator, was commanding at the top of his lungs.

"No. 2 ship, at a 45-degree angle, activate the alchemy sail, and rush into the waves at full speed!"

"Ship No. 3, fix your inner sails, turn the rudder to port, and follow!"

"Ship No. 1, remove the chains fixed by the artillery, let them move with the hull, and let the inertia stabilize the hull! Hurry up, or your boat will be overturned by the waves!"

"."

This kind of wind and waves is no longer something ordinary navigators can handle.

If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die.

At this moment, there is only Taney's voice in the communication channel, and everyone obeys his command.

Even Su Lun didn't say anything.

Having seen Tani's super ship control ability in an extremely severe storm before, the dawn group has absolute trust in him.

So even if they listened to the instructions that seemed to be "send to die", everyone completely obeyed and were busy in their respective positions.

And the members of the newly joined adjudication team are professional soldiers, they have the awareness of absolute obedience to military orders, even if they are not familiar with Tani, the "chief navigator", they will not question it.

If this were to be replaced by a group of ordinary pirates without a tacit understanding, the entire army would have to be wiped out in the first wave.

And with Taney, the navigator favored by the storm, everything is possible.

The three warships are sailing in a strange trench like a cliff on the tens of meters high waves, in a huge vortex with a diameter of several nautical miles

Several times they looked like they were about to be completely overturned by the waves, but they all sailed out miraculously.

One wave after another.

Extremely thrilling.

Su Lun, Qianjo, and everyone on Barrett's boat turned pale when they saw it.

Even Pandora, who never liked to join in the fun, appeared on the deck and looked at the skull in the sky.

Su Lun is also very clear that this is the punishment of the so-called "Sea King".

But there is no fear in my heart.

In the eyes of alchemists, the essence of all phenomena is actually the mutual transformation between energies.

This wave is not formed naturally, and it can cause such a big movement, and the energy consumed by the "Sea King" is definitely not small.

If the three ships of the Dawn Regiment cannot be sank, there is a high probability that it will not last long.

As Su Lun expected, after more than half an hour, the terrifying storm stopped suddenly.

The dark clouds in the sky did not dissipate, and there was only a faint blue light between the sea and the sky.

Su Lun felt a bit like the sky in the "Nation of Underworld" back then, lifeless.

The storm subsided, except for some damage to the hull and some supplies dropped into the sea, but fortunately there were no casualties.

The crew got busy again.

"The engineer checks the hull and repairs the damage!"

"Everyone check your equipment, don't let your guard down. Sensing team, pay attention to the situation in the sea."

"It's foggy, turn on the fog lights."

"."

Because there is an emergency plan, everyone performs their duties and is busy in an orderly manner.

Meanwhile, on deck.

Su Lun, Chijo, Dr. Banks, and Barrett met together, holding a brief meeting with serious faces.

Su Lun shared the information he stripped with everyone.

It's so dangerous that few people think there's anything wrong with it. This is part of the sailing adventure.

But when they heard that the Agapanon Temple was really going to offer hundreds of thousands of adventurers as sacrifices to the sea, everyone's faces were very ugly.

Thousands of items of light are like swords, "So, from the very beginning, the treasure of Alcatraz was a conspiracy?"

"Yes."

As Su Lun said, he pointed to the gloomy sky and said: "The current situation is that this Alcatraz island is actually a 'sea ruin'. The waves just now brought us to this sea area. And unfortunately, we are now stuck here"

The pupil of omniscience has been identified, not long after the grimace appeared in the sky just now, this space has become [Hai Ruins].

"Haixu" is a legendary term.

According to the bard, it is "the place where the sea dies", "the place where the sea god is buried".

It sounds quite romantic.

But in fact, this is an extremely dangerous place, the legendary "forbidden place for living beings".

It is said that all those who died at sea will go to the sea ruins, where there is a passage leading to the underworld, and some unknown secrets are hidden.

It's kind of like an oversized cursed space.

Now the Dawn Corps is trapped here.

Even Su Lun guessed that from the beginning, the high priest of the temple probably paid this attention.

In this way, kill the person in the prophecy (there is a high probability that he is someone Su).

As long as you come to this sea area, you can't get out.

Su Lun said again: "There is also that mysterious "Sea King". I'm not sure what kind of existence he is, maybe some false god, or some kind of sea monster, but it should be very strong. The previous storm should be its masterpiece. Of course, the most important problem is that we are now trapped and have to find a way out. "

As soon as these words came out, several people on the deck fell into silence.

Because no one has ever been to Haixu, so naturally they don't know how to get out.

At this time, Qianjo looked at the dull atmosphere and said, "It doesn't matter if the "Sea King" is a monster or something, if it dares to come, just kill it. "

She had seen real gods in the Ruins of Dawn, and had also slashed false gods in Huangquan Country.

Therefore, there is no fear in her eyes, and there is nothing that can make her afraid.

Hearing this, Barrett also nodded, and analyzed: "Indeed, the enemy is coming, just fight. Our Dawn regiment is not weak now, and it is unlikely that we will really be invincible. And the false gods It also needs the support of faith. If the "Sea King" is a false god, it will not be too strong. Otherwise, in the waves just now, it should have made a move. "

People who have experienced the hardships of life and death appear calm in the face of adversity.

After a pause, he said, "Our biggest problem now is how to get out."

Su Lun also nodded, he thought so too.

But after asking in the communicator, the Liming regiment has nearly 1,000 people, and no one knows.

At this time, Qianjo suddenly said, "Why don't you ask Filo? She might know."

She is still used to calling Mr. Jing by his pseudonym.

When Su Lun heard it, "That's right!"

My senior sister is someone who has seen the world, and she also has a father who has seen the world.

Just now I always thought about breaking the situation by myself, and my thinking suddenly became limited.

Thinking about it, he dialed Mr. Jing's communication directly.

Watching this scene, the corners of Barrett's eyes twitched unconsciously.

He realized who Su Lun was going to contact.

Now that he officially joined the Dawn Regiment, he knew the true identity of the leader of Dawn.

Previously, there were countless guesses about the identity of the mysterious "Mr. Mirror", who thought it was an ancient noble from the two empires. But he never thought that that person was actually the daughter of the "Alchemy Demigod" Sir Isaac a thousand years ago!

That's a legendary figure.

Soon, the communicator dialed.

Mr. Jing really knew this question!

"Are you trapped in a 'sea market'? Oh, that's a little troublesome. My father once went to a 'sea market' in the South China Sea. He told me some experiences. To get out, you must first find' The river of the underworld', you can only come back by going upstream from that river. But you have to pay attention, there are many undead creatures in the ruins."

When Su Lun and the others listened, their expressions brightened immediately.

The term "dead end" also scored points.

For ordinary people, there is a forbidden area in Haixu.

But for an existence as strong as Sir Isaac, it probably means a slightly dangerous tourist attraction?
