Mechanical Alchemist

The Dawn Group robbed the secret base of Nuggets Island, like poking a hornet's nest, causing a series of sequelae.

After the incident was published in the newspaper, it seemed that people all over the world were looking for them.

Luying Navy, hundreds of pirates under the command of "King of the West Sea" Moloch Poppen, major lords along the coast of Luying, and some strange forces.

Some came to seek revenge, some came to buy and sell technology, and some cooperated and robbed. In short, various information merchants and intelligence organizations have become active. Lu Ying's black markets, big and small, were bustling like never before.

As the chief culprit, Su Lun and his party ignored the official fuss. In order to avoid those people, they also deliberately made a big circle on the sea, bypassing the war zone from the south of Luying to the Marfa Empire.

It was already a month later when they arrived in Marfa territory.

this day.

A large floating airship is slowly sailing above the second largest city in Marfa, Manuhill.

The steam airship is very easy to use in the mountainous and hilly terrain like Marfa. It saves the effort of building bridges and roads, and the operation cost is low, convenient and fast. Years of research and development and improvement, the technology has become more and more mature, and it seems to have become the mainstream means of transportation between the major territories in the Marfa inland.

This is a passenger airship, and the pod under the airbag has a very large space.

On a seat by the window, Su Lun in a casual suit was sitting there, looking at the scenery in the clouds.

It is inconvenient for the Dawn Regiment to be exposed to the public view. A day ago, Chijo and other members of the Dawn Regiment landed in another city. The entire pirate group was broken into pieces, and everyone went ashore for supplies, and also relaxed and entertained.

And Su Lun boarded the airship with Miss "Meat Ticket".

This is the trading place he deliberately chose.

Although Su Lun was confident that few people could trap him now, he was not careless.

After all, he kidnapped the young lady of the marshal's family, so be careful.

Airships have limited space and will not be ambushed by large forces. And in the sky, Su Lun was confident that if there was a real fight, he would have an advantage over anyone else.

Glancing at the rivets on the airship, he felt a little emotional. Compared with Lu Ying's purely ornamental airships, Mafa's airship technology is indeed several decades ahead. Just the technical content of this civilian steam airship is comparable to some of Lu Ying's military airships.

The sailing time was very slow, and Su Lun was flipping through the newspapers prepared by the airship transportation company for the guests on the seat.

After about six hours, they will arrive at the imperial capital Capitoline.

The "Marfa Daily" is much richer than those newspapers in Lindton that can smell rotten just looking at the text. Because it is a military dictatorship, there is little news of political violence. Most of them are related to people's livelihood technology, such as industrial exhibitions, machinery expos, and patent competitions of the School of Mechanical Engineering. Of course, extremely developed entertainment news is also indispensable.

Su Lun watched with relish.

Coming from Luying, I really feel like I have traveled through the times.

From the ancient times of knights and magic, we have come to the age of steam machinery.

On the opposite side of him, Dora's face was expressionless, and she was probably still sulking at being locked up in a small dark room.

At this moment, Dora is no longer the image of the freckle technician before, but has changed back to her own appearance of a capable short-haired mechanic.

The facial features are not too amazing, but they are not bad either.

Especially the heroic spirit between the brows, which is a little more capable.

The purpose of changing his appearance was to conceal his identity. Now that his identity was exposed, there was nothing to hide. After all, the appearance of the granddaughter of the Moses family is not a secret.

In fact, Su Lun didn't want to lock this one up, but she was too smart.

Mr. Hei was full of praise for her learning ability and thinking ability. If she really wanted to stay in the Small Void Realm, it wouldn't be long before she figured out her own background.

So in order not to leak the secrets or reveal the location of the Dawn Corps, I got her a single room in the castle.

Although it is delicious and delicious, it is not bad.

But probably still a little resentful.

The two sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

While Su Lun was reading the newspaper, out of the corner of his eye, he could still catch a glimpse of the angry and resentful eyes of Miss Roupiao, as if she was saying: You keep instilling civilization and righteousness in me, but you still want to exchange me for ransom?

Although Su Lun has a thick skin, he still feels a little guilty in his heart.

While fooling the girl into wanting "righteousness", she also extorted a lot of things from her family.

Right now, he was waiting for someone to redeem him with something.

After all, being stared at was uncomfortable, so Su Lun felt that he should say something.

While reading the newspaper, he started chatting with the meat ticket lady.

"So, Miss Dora has been to Lyndon?"

"Yes. When I was an exchange student in the School of Mechanical Engineering, I went to Luying Royal Academy for a while. Which alumni are you from? Maybe we have met before. There are many talented students in my class. , such as William from the Legardi family, Augustus from the Rodriguez family, and Miss Yekaterina, the most beautiful student in the imperial capital. I have a pretty good relationship with some of them."

"."

The two chatted without a word.

Su Lun didn't realize that the occupational disease of this meat ticket has occurred again.

Between words and lines, he is still testing his origin and identity from time to time.

However, he did not expect that Dora knew these people.

Su Lun chuckled, but didn't know how to respond.

Tell me you don't know each other, it's definitely not right.

Say you know each other, the two geniuses you mentioned died in your own hands;

The last one is the wife of "Fick".

Anyway, after confirming that she will not be torn apart, Dora has no worries.

Seeing that Su Lun didn't respond, she asked directly: "Sir, I think what you said about the invasion of planes and the continuation of civilization makes sense. But, you are sure you didn't lie to me. 'Suren'?"

As a professional intelligence officer, the basic skill is to memorize the information of important people in various places.

Dora felt that the guy in front of her was so powerful, she shouldn't have never heard of it.

But for the name "Su Lun", she recalled the important members of Luying's major families, and none of them matched the conditions.

Moreover, almost all of Lu Ying's top professionals come from the Royal Academy, isn't this one?

This is very strange.

Hearing this, Su Lun smiled, "There's nothing to lie about, my name is 'Su Lun'. When your family comes to redeem you, you will naturally know."

Dora's eyes became more and more cold, and she choked back: "Oh, I'm curious about how much ransom you have extorted from my family."

"."

Su Lun smiled and didn't respond positively.

On the contrary, he felt that this topic was too much to talk about, so he jokingly said: "As the benefactor who rescued you from the mine fire, I didn't have anything to repay. But after contacting your family, they insisted on expressing some gratitude , I naturally can't shirk it."

Anyway, I am not familiar with it, so it would be best if I could exchange some benefits.

"."

Dora rolled her eyes when she heard the shameless response.

Kidnapping is kidnapping,

Has this turned into saving me?

You don't come to make trouble, my latent plan has been completed more than half, okay!

The airship sailed slowly in the sky.

It seems that the speed is not fast, but because it is thousands of meters above the ground, the sailing is not slow.

Su Lun looked at the steamy towns on the ground, thinking.

Except for the city where the lord is located, the rest of Lu Ying is almost all agricultural and ecological villages. And Marfa is already highly urbanized, and there are almost no primitive villages to be seen, and they are all densely populated steel towns.

On this point, the gap between the two countries is not generally large.

The airship must be very high and has a wide field of vision.

Su Lun was sitting by the window, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a large thundercloud in the distance from the corner of his vision.

The silver thunder snake flickered in the thick dark clouds, watching from a high altitude, the movement was frightening.

The civilian airship they were on was flying around the thundercloud, but at this moment, Su Lun caught a rusty small airship heading straight for the thundercloud.

"Huh?"

Su Lun let out a small gasp in his heart.

His eyesight was excellent, and he saw at a glance that someone in the small airship climbed out of the cabin, and then held a rune lightning rod, which actually attracted the thunder.

In an instant, the airship was like a lightning dandelion, which was extremely spectacular.

Dora, who was sitting opposite, saw his gaze, glanced out of the window again, and explained: "That's the 'thunder hunter'. Those hunters collected thunder in special containers and made them into energy balls. It's like energy Like spar, this is a very good energy source. It is widely used in the field of machinery."

As she said that, she thought of something else, and added: "But after all, thunder is uncontrollable. If you encounter an unstable thunderstorm, the ship will be destroyed. This is also a very dangerous job."

It dawned on Su Lun after hearing this, and he felt that Mafa's technology could already capture the power of lightning.

Alchemy really is the magical science of working miracles.

At this moment, the announcement of the buffet opening sounded on the ship: "Dear passengers and friends, please note that lunch time has arrived."

Luying is an island surrounded by the sea, relying on the sea to eat the sea, and most of its products are seafood.

And Mafa is backed by endless mountains of monsters, rich in products and various foods.

On the buffet table, there were many fruits that Su Lun had never seen before.

Red, yellow, green. The color is attractive and the fruit fragrance is overflowing.

Dora was a little hungry, she got up and wanted to get something to eat.

But when he thought of something, he asked casually, "Sir, what do you want to eat?"

Su Lun said casually, "Let's have some fruit. Thank you."

"."

Dora's eyes twitched.

I just said politely, you are really welcome.

Is Lu Ying's aristocrat sick?

Although I'm a prisoner, but I am a dignified daughter of the Moses family, will I serve you as a maid?

Although she complained repeatedly in her heart, Dora also turned around and left the seat.

The moment her back was turned to Su Lun, her expression became strange.

Why did I ask too much just now?

Have you also been brainwashed by your beliefs?

Can't!

With 【Profane】, I can't be hypnotized.

Dora felt more and more strange in her heart.

And after getting along for a while, she also found that the "Su Lun" in front of her was very special.

Obviously, he usually looks like a lawyer, a dentist or something.

Rational, gentleman, less words.

But the terrifying killing intent when they first met is still fresh in her memory.

This is definitely a character who kills without blinking an eye.

It seems that this guy has two personalities in his heart, one is a normal person and the other is a murderous maniac.

A very contradictory person.

Dora thought about it, and walked to the dining table before she knew it.

She picked up the plate and picked up the fruit.

Su Lun took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was almost the agreed transaction time.

Although this is a few thousand meters high, he knows that this difficulty will definitely not stop the Moses family.

At this moment, Su Lun was looking at the newspaper, his eyes suddenly froze, as if he had discovered something: "Here?"

In his perception, he clearly sensed a person approaching the airship rapidly from below, and then walked in through the vent.

"There is only one person."

Su Lun looked out the window and was also slightly surprised.

Although the incoming people are very strong, but if they really want to fight, it is absolutely impossible to keep themselves.

Su Lun locked on to the person who flew up and watched him walk into the cabin.

However, to his surprise, a burly old man appeared in his field of vision. Although this man was full of silver hair, he was full of energy, and his ruddy complexion showed that he was more vigorous than most young people.

"Thunder Tiger Meredith Ben Moses? "

Su Lun recognized the identity of the person at a glance.

He was also very surprised that the marfa admiral actually came to pay the ransom in person?

After the old man came in, he took off the goggles on the pilot's fur cap, and he saw Su Lun in the seat at a glance.

Meredith walked over, straight to the point, sullen, and asked, "Where's my granddaughter?"

Su Lun could hear the doting and concern in this tone.

It seems that in the eyes of this old man, everything is not as important as his granddaughter.

Before Su Lun could speak, a young girl suddenly appeared behind the old man.

Dora recognized the person and exclaimed, "Grandpa?"

Obviously, she was also very surprised that her grandfather came in person.

This shout, on the contrary, made Meredith's murderous expression froze, and he swallowed the cruel words he was about to say.

Seeing his granddaughter appearing in front of him with a platter full of fruits in her hands, the corners of his eyes twitched inexplicably.

Not to say.

Kidnapped by the most notorious pirate group "Dawn Pirates"?

When the Moses family heard the news, they were all in a mess. (The Mafa people's most important source of news about the Luying pirates is the newspaper. Grand Duke Rafael described it to the Dawn Group as a despicable, nasty, promiscuous, ugly and dirty big pirate)

Though Meredith didn't think things were that bad. But the old woman, daughter-in-law, and all kinds of mothers-in-law and aunts in the family are scary, and they will be torn apart if they say that they don't pay the ransom. In case of being sullied innocence.

Anyway, the more noisy the more fierce.

He was worried about his old bones, so he came here in person.

But now, what's the situation?

Meredith was ready to go to war if her granddaughter lost a hair.

Any pirate group, even those who are known as the king of the North Sea, the king of the West Sea. If they dare to kidnap the granddaughter of the Moses family, even if the ransom is obtained, they should be ready to be destroyed!

But looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't handle the generalissimo.

The three of them glanced at each other, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.

After being stunned for a moment, Dora put the dinner plate on the table, and sat down with her grandpa who doted on her the most: "Grandpa, why are you here?"

Meredith looked at the smile on her granddaughter's face, as if she had been wronged.

Moreover, looking amicable, do these two people mean that they are preparing to eat?

Like a punch vacated.

I had been holding back my anger all the way, and my mind was full of plans to beat up the kidnappers, as if I had nowhere to vent it.

Meredith was dragged to sit on the sofa, but still had a cold face.

He looked at Su Lun, and immediately came to his blow: "You are the famous "Death God"? "

Su Lun didn't speak.

He also saw that the old man was quite interesting, he was fierce, but he had no killing intent.

Seeing the strange atmosphere, Dora took the old man's arm and shook it, and shouted in a reproachful tone: "Grandpa!"

Hearing this, Meredith inexplicably felt something even more wrong in his heart.

But he also put aside that difficult idea, directly took out a storage ring, and said with a bad face: "I brought what you want."

There was no friendship at all, and there was no embarrassment, so Su Lun took the storage ring directly.

Meredith explained in a bad tone: "There are six hundred tons of [activated silver] in the storage ring, which is already almost all the inventory in the royal treasure house. There is also the information you need on the dwarf ruins. I can guarantee that, This is the most complete information about that ruin on the market!"

While speaking, he squinted his eyes and kept looking at the calm young man in front of him, as if he wanted to see something, and said, "As for Sir Isaac's alchemy notes you want to inquire about. I do know this news. But this is the imperial top secret"

Hearing that the old man was clearly trying to whet his appetite, Su Lun looked up.

More than 600 tons of [activated silver], that is, 30 gargoyles.

It's already a huge profit for a meat ticket that was tied up at random to exchange for these ransoms, and the rest doesn't matter.

Unexpectedly, the old man actually knew the whereabouts of the notes.

Sure enough, asking any information businessman is better than asking these big shots.

There was a flash of light in Meredith's eyes, and he changed his style of painting: "But before I tell you, can I ask, is there any use for you to find that note?"

Su Lun didn't know why he asked this, and his intuition told him that this note seemed to be of great importance.

But there is nothing to hide, he said directly: "Our leader of Liming, Mr. Mirror, is a direct descendant of Sir Isaac."

Now that the plane invasion has become a fact, there is no need to hide Mr. Jing's identity. Speaking of this identity is more convincing and cohesive.

What's more, with Li Ming's recent momentum so fierce, it's impossible for the Marfa Marshal to know nothing about it.

Hearing this, Meredith thought deeply.

Su Lun thought that the other party would negotiate some terms.

But after pondering for a moment, the old man said directly: "The notes are in Marfa, but I can't give them to you now. I need some time. And I can only promise to do my best, not necessarily succeed."

Really news?

Su Lun was overjoyed when he heard that, and his expression was as usual.

He thought for a moment, and replied directly: "Okay!"

The style of a professional soldier is to act swiftly and decisively, and he also likes this kind of deal without messing about.

Although it was just a verbal promise, his intuition told him that the old man would do what he said.

When you say try your best, you must do your best.

Dora, who was on the side, looked at the two people who were facing each other, and a touch of anxiety flashed in her crystal eyes.

Although they didn't slap the table and stare, the atmosphere of the negotiation was not harmonious.

She also kept her arm around her grandfather, as if she was afraid that the two would fight on the spot.

The grandfather without armor may not be able to beat the opposite one.

Meredith took out the ransom, and the original procedure was supposed to be "a ticket to put meat".

But now, with her granddaughter by her side, this process is not necessary at all.

And from the beginning to the end, the "kidnapper" didn't mean to threaten him at all.

This is also the fundamental reason why Meredith was not angry.

After a few simple conversations, the old man has actually recognized a person's general character.

As Admiral of the Imperial Navy, he is no stranger to Dawn.

A thought flashed in my mind.

He felt that there was something more to say, and he didn't beat around the bush, so he asked directly: "I heard that you robbed Rafael's mine. I want to ask, are you interested in selling the technology and equipment in your hand?"

Su Lun was not surprised that he would make this request.

He has always had a good impression of the Generalissimo. Although he looks aggressive, he is actually quite talkative.

Su Lun didn't hesitate to refuse, and asked instead: "The invasion of the plane is a foregone conclusion. Do you want to use this technology externally or internally?"

"."

As soon as this was said, it was Meredith's turn to be silent.

Complicated thoughts flashed in his eyes, but he didn't answer for a moment.

The affairs of the empire are not all decided by him, the admiral of the navy.

At least the main battle faction can't wait to annex Lu Ying now. The temporary truce was also a result of his hard work by uniting several old bones.

Su Lun saw his hesitation and knew that he couldn't explain political matters in a few words, but he didn't wait any longer, and said, "Since you don't think about it, I'll leave. As for the notes, I will contact you later. family."

Regarding the information about the plane of the gods, Su Lun has already told Dora everything he can say.

After she went back, she would naturally explain to the old man, so she didn't need to waste her time talking.

Today I'm just talking about ransom.

Let's talk about the later things.

Su Lun didn't intend to waste time here either. Seeing the old man's silence, he turned to Dora and smiled: "Miss Dora, goodbye."

"?"

Dora was taken aback, the negotiation is over?

She felt as though she shouldn't be saying goodbye to a robber, but waved instinctively anyway.

Su Lun smiled handsomely.

With a flash of space fluctuation, he had already disappeared on the seat.

As soon as Su Lun left, Meredith and his father were left staring.

Looking at her granddaughter's well-behaved, even slightly rounded face, she thought she hadn't suffered any abuse in the past month or so.

Marshal Marfa had many questions in his mind.

But when he mentioned the topic of "Plane Invasion", his heart was very heavy.

This is the big problem that bothers him the most recently, but he is completely helpless!

Seeing her grandfather's gloomy face, Dora took out a fruit from the dinner plate and asked as she did when she was a child: "Grandpa, do you want to eat one?"

Meredith also heaved a long sigh of relief as she saw her granddaughter intact.

It's okay, it's all worth it.

Let's talk about the future.

He murmured: "Hey, I told you that you don't need to lurk. Even without the mechanical monster technology, Lu Ying has no chance of winning in the future battlefield. This time Raphael's secret base was robbed, the hidden plan Bankruptcy, those guys in the military department should also stop. Forget it, it’s good that people come back.”

"."

Dora was in mixed feelings.

Freedom in exchange for ransom?

But it seems that I have never lost my freedom.

She even felt that even if there was no ransom, that Mr. Su Lun would not embarrass herself.

What made her feel even more complicated was what she had talked with that Mr. Su Lun these days.

She used to have a very firm belief. Determined to become the best mechanic and fight for the rise of the empire. That's why as soon as he graduated from the academy, he joined the military, and gradually became an ace intelligence agent.

But now, she is conflicted.

In the face of the invasion of the plane, those ideals seemed to become meaningless all of a sudden.

Seeing his precious granddaughter's blank expression, Meredith asked with concern: "Girl, what's wrong?"

Dora thought for a moment, then asked back: "Grandpa, do you know the 'Gods'?"

"???"

Meredith gave her a surprised look, a little unfamiliar with the term.

He knew about the plane invasion, but he didn't know any information about the Celestials.

When the grandfather and grandson chatted, quietly, the future pattern of the entire Marfa Empire also changed.

The airship sailed towards Capitoline, the capital of the Marfa Emperor, without encountering any turbulence, and the journey was smooth.

In the cabin, after the grandpa and grandson talked about the depressing business, they talked about Dora's recent experience of being "kidnapped".

Only then did some laughter arise.

"What! That guy evacuated Raphael's secret base? No wonder Lu Ying's senior management was so shaken."

"Oh, that's the notorious Dawn Pirates, girl, you didn't suffer, did you?"

"Grandpa, I think your information may be wrong. The members of the Dawn Regiment are not bad."

"Ah? That's the pirate who kidnapped you?!"

"It's good to be pirates. But in a sense, they were the ones who rescued me. Otherwise, Grandpa, if you want to see Dora, it will be many years later."

"Although it is true to say so. But girl, why do I think your logic is wrong?"

"Ah, let's not talk about that. Grandpa, do you know Su Lun? Where did he come from? Why haven't I heard of him before?"

"He also has another identity. He is the current number one heir of the Regadi family."

"Huh? Then why did he become a pirate?"

"How can my old bones know what you young people think? Oh, I have to report to your grandma quickly. I heard that you have been kidnapped, and everyone in the family is very worried."

"."

Thanks to 'Xinghai Duotong' 1500, 'Happy Bad Guy' 500, and 'Flame Red Snow'. Thanks to the three for their support, thank you very much.
