Mechanical Alchemist

Albuquerque was released from [Boyle's organ puppet heart], and there was another person in Su Lun's laboratory since then.

At this point, Su Lun also realized the brilliance of his senior brother Robert Boyle.

Creating such a core for inheriting the skills of "Organs and Puppets" can not only ensure the inheritance of one's own knowledge, but also select suitable descendants to inherit that knowledge.

Albuquerque has been trapped in this core for five years, and the harvest is not ordinary.

Not only is his talent directly resolved in some special circumstances, but more importantly, his xinxing growth.

Specializing in alchemy is very boring and lonely, and the more you go to the higher depths, the more so.

Su Lun has a deep understanding now.

That takes extraordinary discipline and persistence.

How many talented people in the world eventually return to ordinary people, all of them are defeated by their xinxing.

Being able to stay in the puppet core like a "cage" for five years, Albuquerque already possessed the most important quality to become a top alchemist.

With a good talent and a good heart, this is a beautiful piece of jade in the rough.

Thanks to his sister Karma who has been patiently encouraging her for the past few years, and also fortunate to have met Su Lun.

Albuquerque himself worked very hard, and he showed an extraordinary talent for learning in alchemy.

With a photographic memory and multitasking, almost all basic knowledge is introduced very quickly.

He can read boring alchemy classics with gusto, he can quickly master fighting and firearms, and he can quickly accept complex mechanical knowledge.

Even if he hasn't fused any breeding equipment and inauguration materials, he can control the basic puppets with nimble fingers alone.

Su Lun also liked this disciple very much.

And when he heard Albuquerque say, "Teacher, I think the human body is too weak and has limited many functions. My dream is to transform myself into a mechanism puppet." He knew that this guy It will also blaze an unusual path for a puppeteer.

That's a taboo of the puppet master's lineage-explosive change warlock.

Su Lun is also very supportive of his ideas.

The lineage of puppet masters has never been the same. They are standing on the shoulders of their predecessors to continuously explore and improve.

One of the paths that Su Lun wanted to take himself was the "mechanical puppet master" route.

And the puppets of Boyle's lineage also have infinite possible development routes. He hopes that Karma and Albuquerque will continue to go further on this road and carry forward.

It's a pity that [Boyle's organ puppet heart] has not been completely repaired, and most of the knowledge inherited in it cannot be analyzed.

To fix it, Su Lun could think of the best way, so he went to get another green dragon crystal to replace it.

But that thing about Dragon Crystal, just think about it.

Dragons are creatures that have existed since the age of mythology. Mr. Jing said that there are islands where giant dragons live in the West Sea, and Tani heard from his mother of the Naga tribe.

However, that kind of creature was born as a dominant creature, and its combat power cannot be normalized at all.

To kill an adult dragon, Su Lun reckoned that only a professional of the eighth or ninth rank would have any hope.

There is no need to think about it in a short time.

Fortunately, Su Lun now has a very rich amount of knowledge, and he has also stripped the knowledge of the organ puppet of the previous "thousand-machine puppet" Vasily Thirmido. At least for the next ten or twenty years, teaching siblings is enough.

There is one more person, and there is more excitement.

The three masters and apprentices stayed in the laboratory all day, doing experiments.

Although he was used to doing research experiments alone, Su Lun also thought it was good that there was a little more anger in the laboratory.

The two disciples are also two handy assistants, which also saved him a lot of worry.

The sea ruins are very large, as if they have no boundaries, and the Dawn Group sailed for eight or nine days without finding the Styx.

Su Lun is very busy every day, and he has too many things to study. Mechanical armor, making [Siren Banshee Doll], solidifying the fighting ability of the Gargoyle, engraving [Ximin Lewa's Sea God Rune] on one's body, researching the improvement of the mechanical octopus, and making a new mechanical octopus.

Every day is full of time, but it doesn't feel like the days go by so fast.

Today, in the laboratory.

The three of Su Lun were busy as usual.

In front of the workbench, two Eight-Armed Spider Lances were busy tinkering with the puppet.

The one with the dark golden spider spear is Su Lun, and beside him, Albuquerque is contacting the rune puppet who carved the first-order rune with the golden spider spear.

As the successor of the Puppeteer lineage, Su Lun will not treat his personal disciples badly.

He took out the rare materials he collected on weekdays, and refined a first-level alchemy equipment for Albuquerque. Although it is the main material of a gold-quality spider spear, it is more manipulative, and it is more compatible with the mechanism puppet warlock.

Albuquerque also likes this grooming suit very much, and has become very proficient in using it in a few days.

With two disciples, Su Lun does not need to do many things by himself, such as recording experimental data, and Karma is a very careful assistant.

At this time, Su Lun was engraving runes on his body. He thought of something and said, "Kama, you can go and see how the [Mind Flayer's eggs] are being cultivated by Dr. Banks. If you can If you get the mature mind flayer earlier, you will be able to get advanced breeding equipment for you. Although it is not as powerful as the capture from the natural environment, it is suitable for your level."

Su Lun's own path is good, but not everyone can follow it.

Without the blessing of two S-level talents, the cultivation equipment and inauguration advanced materials he used would not be digested by others.

Karma was overjoyed to hear that, and responded obediently: "Yes, teacher."

There is a good teacher, let her learn too much knowledge.

The key point is that this teacher is rich and powerful, and there are more good babies than their big family back then.

Speaking of this, Su Lun said again: "Also, you sisters and brothers are just staying in the laboratory. I can't teach you many things. Go to the deck when you have time, and find Tany and Lolota. Communicate more and get acquainted with other partners of the Dawn Regiment. Combining work and rest, learning efficiency will be higher."

Karma is still very obedient: "Okay, teacher."

But Albuquerque on the side said: "Teacher, it's good to let my sister go alone for such things as communication. I think the laboratory is more suitable for me, and learning makes me happy~ Besides, teacher, aren't you always in the laboratory? Everyone says that the teacher is so good because of his hard work. I will work harder in the future, and I will be as good as you, teacher!"

Hearing this, Su Lun smiled.

Combining Serena's teachings with his own experience, he said: "You are now learning and accumulating, so it is best to stay in the laboratory. But in fact, fighting is the fastest way to progress, and mechanism puppets are even better. That’s right. The world is huge, and you have to see it yourself, and alchemists also need enough insight and experience to support your dreams. When you get stronger, you have to go out and experience yourself.”

Kama thought about it, and interjected, "Ah, Lolotta said, Senjo-sensei also said the same."

Only then did Albuquerque seem to understand something, "Understood, teacher."

The three of them were chatting like this, and suddenly, Taney's voice came from the communicator: "Mr. Su Lun, come and take a look, we seem to have reached the entrance of the 'River of the Underworld'!"

Su Lun listened and muttered, "It's finally here."

There is a chaotic magnetic field in the sea ruins, and there is no starlight or moonlight, so it is impossible to judge the direction. It is also fortunate that the Dawn Mission has a nautical treasure such as [Black Sam's World Sea Chart], so they can go all the way west.

When Su Lun came to the deck, everyone was gathered around the ship's side, looking at the black sea whirlpool with a diameter of several thousand meters in the distance, and they were shocked.

"Oh my god! I've never even heard of such a big sea spin, let alone seen it in my life!"

"Are we really going to drive the boat in? If we go down, we can't get up."

"Hahaha, it's time to test the skills of Tani boy, and we all rely on him."

"Oh, here comes Mr. Sullen."

"Hello, Mr. Su Lun~"

"."

Everyone looked at Su Lun and greeted him one after another.

Su Lun didn't delay after responding, and jumped onto the mast.

Standing on a high place, he also cast his gaze over there, taking in the huge vortex covered by the faint mist.

Huge, dark, terrifying, unknown, dark and ancient

Even if the black crow is released, it is completely impossible to see where the bottom of the sea is. It is like a bottomless pit, swallowing endless sea water, as if leading directly to another world.

This sea ruins is really like the legend, it is the end of the sea, where the dead seawater is buried.

Su Lun contacted Mr. Jing, described what he saw, and confirmed again that this was "probably" the entrance to the river of the underworld.

At this moment, Tani is using his superb boat control skills to circle the sea.

Behind the Dawn Regiment, dozens of ships followed.

Everyone looked at the sea spin that looked like the huge mouth of an abyssal demon, and didn't know how to make a choice.

Su Lun was observing. At this moment, Tani in the cockpit suddenly asked: "Mr. Su Lun, do we want to go down? If we turn down again, the sea spin will drag us in. Or we have to leave as soon as possible .”

As soon as these words came out, Qianjo, Barrett, and Dr. Banks all looked over, waiting for his decision.

Although Su Lun often stays in the laboratory and shows up a little, everyone in the dawn group knows that he is the core of the team.

Su Lun frowned, looking very cautious. After all, this is not the sea ruins that Sir Isaac went to. This decision is related to the lives of everyone in the entire Dawn group.

But it seems that there is no other way to leave Haixu.

After pondering for a moment, he first asked, "Tani, are you sure you can go on?"

"no problem!"

Tani used his expertise to give an affirmative answer, and said: "The range of this sea vortex is very large, and the wind direction is also stable. We just need to go down the vortex pattern. The strength of the 'Eternal Night' is enough to support us. It was torn apart by the sea whirling. It’s just that after going down, I don’t know. We can’t come up again.”

When Su Lun heard this, he glanced at Qianjo and the others, and received a firm gaze in response.

Everyone in the Dawn Regiment has absolute trust in him.

Su Lun calculated various possibilities in his mind, and said without much hesitation, "Then let's go."

"good."

Tani's serious response came from the communicator, followed by a control command: "Sailman is in position! Prepare to rush into the spin!"

The chief navigator gave an order, and everyone held their breath.

After adjusting the angle of the sail, the "Emperor of Eternal Night" rushed towards the huge vortex.

This crazy move immediately stupefied the dozens of adventure groups who followed the Dawn Group.

The "Black Panthers" knew some inside information, and the leader "Red Nose" Miles was also a seasoned adventurer. Without hesitation, he ordered his subordinates to throw away the heavy gold and silver belongings on the ship and followed.

The other ships hesitated.

With such a huge vortex, no one can make a decision right away, not to mention whether they will be able to settle down, or if they want to give up the treasures that they sacrificed their lives for on board.

The Dawn Corps paid no attention to the strangers.

The "Eternal Night" quickly entered the area of ​​the vortex ocean current with exaggerated vortex, the hull was getting stronger and stronger under the traction force of the sea water, and the maneuverability was getting smaller and smaller.

"The triangular sail is put away, and the mainsail is under control! Put half the spear to stabilize the hull!"

"Hold on tight, we're about to hit the waves!"

"."

Tany's hoarse roar came from the communicator.

Under his command and control, the ship's body was almost 90 degrees vertical, and it rode on the circle of ripples of the sea spin at an increasing speed.

Everyone's hearts hung in their throats, their expressions were solemn, excited, or apprehensive.

Although the Neptune-class warships are strong, they are so pale and powerless in the face of confrontation with the power of nature. Once the operation is careless and involved in the turbulent current, the ship will be smashed into pieces by the huge ocean current force in an instant.

But after a violent impact, the whole ship suddenly stabilized.

The huge centripetal force glued everyone's feet to the deck. It looked very dangerous, but it was like a train on the right track, and it became stable instead.

At this time, Taney's excited voice came from the communicator: "Hahaha, the dangerous time has passed, and we have successfully entered the stable velocity zone of the sea cyclone!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sigh of relief on the deck.

Su Lun looked at the pitch-black, bottomless sea-swirling black hole in front of him, his eyes were radiant.

It was a feeling of falling into an endless abyss.

Facing the abyss directly, the fear is no longer there, but endless courage is filled in my heart.

The same is true for Qiantiao at the side. Looking at each other, both of them saw the fearlessness in each other's eyes.

Beside them, Lolota, Karma, and Albuquerque had never seen such a scene, and their faces were full of nervousness.

The sea spin seems to have no end, leading into the endless darkness.

Amidst the apprehension on everyone's faces, expectations gradually emerged.

This is also one of the joys of adventure. The road ahead is always full of unknowns.

In a very short period of time, the "Eternal Night" probably descended more than ten kilometers vertically. Suddenly, a light blue light was seen in everyone's field of vision.

After a moment of violent impact, the ship felt as if it had crashed into the river from a waterfall, and the water flow became calmer.

It was pitch black all around, but groups of spirits like blue jellyfish flowed through the water.

Su Lun took a look at it, and it turned out to be [the soul of the dead].

He was overjoyed and said loudly: "We have arrived at the 'River of the Underworld'!"

When everyone heard this, their faces were filled with joy.

Seeing the river meant that they were on the right track and had a good chance of getting out.

At this time, Su Lun shouted softly again: "Everyone throw away [Opoles silver coins]!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone threw a silver coin that had been prepared into the water. This is bribing the ferrymen of the river Styx to redeem their souls who should have gone to the underworld.

"Clatter!" The silver coin fell into the water, and everyone in the dawn group closed their eyes.

According to the legend of Roman Kingdom, there is a big black river called "Agron River" rushing from the underworld.

Its branches spread all over the various planes, and the souls of people after death will float along this river to the underworld. The undead must pay a silver coin to the ferry god to cross the river safely, otherwise they will wander and get lost along the river of pain and never find their destination.

Su Lun also closed his eyes, this is the rule above the Styx. If you really see the ferry god, you will replace him to extradite the souls of the dead, and you will never go back. Or wait until the next successor to go to the underworld.

After paying the toll, the Eternal Night sailed slowly against the river, and the slight sound of water could be heard.

Mr. Jing said that the River Styx gathers all the dark laws of this plane, and that flowing upstream on the River Styx will cleanse people's souls, and there is a chance that people will realize some of the mysteries of the laws of dark attributes.

Entering the sea ruins was an accident, and it was also a great opportunity.

Opportunities that most people cannot touch in their lifetime.

Everyone in the Dawn Group closed their eyes, or crossed their legs, or stood, or lay down, carefully comprehending.

What Su Lun cultivated was dark spiritual power, and what he understood was the "law of death". The breath on the Styx made him feel very comfortable.

For the first time, he felt a difference in the law of death.

The "Law of Death" is like a big tree, so the leaves are all shades of green, light green, light green, crystal green, dark green, and even the thickest black.

Su Lun felt that what he had comprehended was just one of the leaves, and the greenness was neither thick nor light.

He could clearly perceive that there was darkness behind him, and they were heading in a direction where the law was getting weaker and weaker.

I don't know how long it took, it seemed like several hours, and it seemed like several days.

Suddenly, everyone felt the glare of the light.

Su Lun opened his eyes, and when he looked again, they had already appeared on the vast sea.

Blue sky and white clouds, and the warm sun.

The dark air accumulated after staying in the land of the dead for a long time was also swept away, and the entire spiritual world became transparent.

"Hahaha we are finally back!"

"Oh, the damn smell of undead in the sea ruins made me feel that the sea breeze smells so good for the first time!"

"."

On the deck, everyone reveled, and everyone was immersed in the great joy of returning from the adventure.

The Styx flowed out, and everyone seemed to have been cleansed of the soul. I couldn't describe the feeling, but they all had harvested expressions on their faces.

For the first time in two hundred years, the Eternal Night was exposed to the sun, and under the sunlight, the fierce black sails were majestic.

Not far away, the ship of the "Black Panther Regiment" also followed.

"Red Nose" Miles wanted to return to Luying and guessed that the Dawn Corps had other important matters, so he waved goodbye to Barrett.

Although they lost a lot of treasures, they also brought back some of them. Overall, the gains from this trip were pretty good.

After bidding farewell to the Black Panthers, Tani used a sextant to determine their approximate location, and Hui reported: "Mr. Su Lun, we are now thousands of nautical miles away from the place where we first entered the ruins. Where are we going now?"

Su Lun did not forget that their main goal this time was the "Void Ruins", and he said, "Continue sailing!"

Everyone cheered, and Yang Fan set sail.

That Princess Frost Moon probably wouldn't have guessed that someone had survived from the ruins.

This trip will probably give those guys a big surprise.
