Mechanical Alchemist

"Mr. Su Lun, the teacher said that you once fought a dragon. So how can you defeat a dragon?"

"The first is to be able to withstand the breath of the giant dragon and the great power of the dragon's claws, and the second is to be able to break through the defense of the dragon scale. Both conditions are very difficult. Sir Isaac's notes said that the dragon scale has a nearly perfect Defensive runes, and dragon language magic is also close to divine magic, and its power is even far superior to the various spells of a higher level. So generally speaking, a seventh-level dragon, even an eighth-level professional, is difficult to defeat."

"oh."

"And what I met was just a giant dragon of resentment, which is still very different from the real dragon. According to the information of the Naga tribe, the lightning blue dragon's blood is extremely pure, and there is no accurate reference for its combat power. , it’s not a good idea to act rashly.”

"."

Su Lun and Qiantiao walked leisurely on the forest path, and the little follower Lolotta beside him was also talking non-stop.

Becoming a dragon slaying warrior is the common ideal of adventurers in various myths and legends.

The dragon represents the strongest creature in the world, and only the strongest warrior can defeat the dragon.

Lolota, a young swordsman, also has a dream of hunting dragons.

Just now, they teleported into this forest.

The rest of the Dawn Regiment stayed on the Eternal Night, familiarizing themselves with the situation in the nearby sea area and preparing for the possible dragon hunting battle.

Su Lun went ashore with Qianjo, took the guide Tatu with him, and planned to inquire about information.

Lolotta couldn't stay idle and came along.

Not long after the four of them walked, they saw a city built against a mountain.

The architectural style is very special, with tall white walls surrounding the entire city. The buildings in the city are dense, but not tall, with red-painted roofs, like mushroom houses.

On the top of the mountain, there is a castle with a royal blue spire.

Unlike the two empires of Luyingmafa, there are no steam chimneys to be seen in this city.

The sky was blue with white clouds.

In the city, there is only smoke from cooking, and the smoke of a blacksmith's shop.

Tatu pointed to the city, and introduced: "This is the city of Atlanta. There are many dragon knights in the city, and they are not very friendly to our Naga tribe."

As she said that, she looked at Su Lun, as if she wanted to remind her that there might be trouble if she brought herself into the city.

After realizing it last night, Tatu realized that he still didn't know how powerful Su Lun was. Although she also knows that it must be very powerful to pass through the Sea of ​​​​Eternal Night. But in the eyes of the Naga tribe, the flying dragon knights in Atlanta are also very powerful.

Before Su Lun could speak, Lolota took Tatu's arm and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Su Lun and my teacher are both super powerful."

Tatu listened and didn't speak.

She couldn't accurately understand the concept of "super powerful".

Su Lun didn't explain much, and smiled.

Although he didn't mean to belittle the natives of the Dragon Country, his current strength really made it difficult for him to meet opponents.

He was even more curious about a word he just heard, and asked, "Flying Dragon Knight?"

Tatu said: "Yes. There are a lot of sub-dragon monsters with thin dragon blood in this sea area. The Dragon Kingdom has a tradition of taming dragons. Knights are proud to be able to tame powerful sub-dragons. The place we are in now In the 'Silver Dragon Kingdom', one of the three major kingdoms, the royal family has a very strong sacred silver dragon to protect it."

After hearing this, Su Lun became even more curious: "So, the relationship between humans and dragons here is pretty good?"

"No. On the contrary, the relationship is still very bad."

Tatu shook his head and said: "The silver dragon stayed in the capital because of an outstanding dragon knight in the royal family of the Silver Dragon Kingdom thousands of years ago. After the death of the dragon knight, the sacred silver dragon continued to protect has dominated this kingdom for thousands of years. Without it, this human kingdom might have been destroyed long ago.”

Giant dragons have a long lifespan, and it is normal for them to live for thousands of years.

Su Lun listened thoughtfully.

Chijo on the side also waited for the next article with great interest.

Tatu continued: "It is said that in the ancient Dragon Kingdom era, giant dragons did get along well with humans. At that time, there were many powerful dragon knights, and many legends about dragons and humans were handed down. But since some time , Humans have become less powerful, and this situation has changed. It should be that after the law of plane shattering that you said, Mr. Su Lun, is incomplete, there are fewer and fewer top human beings, and more and more knights who can tame dragons Fewer and fewer. But dragons are an arrogant race, they are no longer willing to be used as mounts by lower creatures. They even feel that no creature can surpass the great dragon family. Then there are dragons of the evil camp."

Su Lun asked, "Evil camp?"

Tatu explained again: "Yes, this is a saying in the human kingdom. Dragons of five colors like red, blue, green, black, and white are almost hostile to humans, feed on humans, and enslave humans. But like silver dragons, Golden dragons, gemstone dragons, etc., they remain neutral. They are rarely seen in the open sea, and they usually live deep in the dangerous waters to the west. Only a very few, like the silver dragon that protects the country, have a relationship with humans, so they will close to humans."

"So that's how it is."

When the three of Su Lun heard this, they suddenly understood.

Tatu said again: "So, the lightning blue dragon 'Kazka' is also an evil dragon in the eyes of humans. It's just that the blue dragon flies very fast, and its name is that it flies as fast as lightning. And the thunder dragon No one can dodge the breath. The human kingdom has no choice but to let it exist."

Hearing this statement, Su Lun had a deeper understanding of the Dragon Clan in his mind.

He thought of the "Secrets of Dragon Knight How to Train Your Dragon" in his hand, and one sentence translated from it was very true: "If you want to become a dragon knight, you have to have a combat power comparable to that of a giant dragon."

As the four walked, they had already arrived at the foot of the city.

There is a suspension bridge outside the city, which is the only road leading to the city. There are dozens of guards in silver armor at the gate to check the people entering the city one by one.

At the gate of the city, Su Lun also saw two flying dragons sleeping on their stomachs.

The appearance is similar to that of a giant dragon, but much smaller, and the scales are not so obvious.

But all monsters with a little bit of dragon blood are strong among the same level. Usually this kind of flesh-winged lizard is Tier 3 black iron, but with a bit of dragon blood, it may be a silver or gold rank monster.

This can be seen from the monsters passing by.

Su Lun found that all the people who entered the city were adventurers in leather armor, and almost all of them had their own monster mounts, [Dragonscale Warhorse], [Titan Gorilla], [Dragon Horn Rhinoceros]. These monsters saw the two flying dragons, almost all of them To avoid walking.

The aborigines of the Dragon Kingdom not only tamed dragons, but also domesticated various monsters.

To the three outsiders of Su Lun, this was quite novel.

Tatu looked at the guards at the city gate, frowned and said, "Hey, that's strange, I didn't know how to investigate before."

Su Lun took a look, and there was a notice posted at the gate of the city, saying, "It seems that someone is wanted."

Nobody cares either.

After all, this happens everywhere.

Su Lun didn't intend to use the suspension bridge to cause trouble. When the Warlock Seal was pinched, a space passage appeared in front of him, and he teleported into the city with Qian Tiao and the three of them.

The inhabitants of the city dress very primitively, in coarse linen and leather armor.

The best ones are those flying dragon knights, but they are also very simple.

In contrast, the attire of outsiders like Su Lun and the others seemed too delicate.

Su Lun didn't have much of this kind of rough clothes in stock, so they could only walk around the city wearing linen cloaks.

Probably because this city is close to a dangerous area, there are quite a few adventurers in the city,

The buildings in the city are very compact, except for the main road leading to the castle where carriages can pass, the rest of the streets are very narrow.

Walls, houses, streets...all made of stones.

Because there is no rationally planned urban sewer system, there is always a foul smell in the residential area.

They thought that Lu Ying's rural territory was backward enough, but when they looked at this place, it was simply in a primitive state.

There is no industry here.

There are also some small vendors on the street, and the products they sell are also very simple, that is, food, fruits, and some monster meat

The four of Su Lun walked and watched all the way.

Lolota looked at the pedestrians and exclaimed in a low voice, "These people are so strong!"

They had thought it was just the gate soldiers and the adventurers who looked strong.

But after entering the city, he discovered that this ordinary resident was also very strong.

That fat woman, who looks like an ordinary peasant woman, can easily load a few hundred catties of goods into a cart; a muscular blacksmith knocks down a several-ton dragon-scale horse with his bare hands and forcibly puts horseshoes on it; even if it is building a city wall The thin and weak slaves who can carry hundreds of catties of stones can walk like flying

People are generally tall and muscular.

One side of the water and soil supports the other side of people. Su Lun thinks that this is probably directly related to the gigantic creatures in this sea area. Dr. Banks may be more interested in this phenomenon.

A few people turned around, and Tatu asked, "Mr. Su Lun, where are we going now?"

Su Lun thought about it and said, "Let's go to the Adventurer's Tavern first."

There are many adventurers in the city, so there must be places for entertainment.

Those places are also easy to inquire about news.

He thought that he could ask about the "Petrochemical Curse Potion" and the blue dragon first.

However, while walking, a simple-looking middle-aged couple passed by pulling a carriage full of apples.

Originally this was normal.

Su Lun looked sideways slightly, because there was actually one person hidden in the carriage.

Because I paid attention, I took another look.

The carriage walked towards the outside of the city gate. But suddenly, a group of guards on dragon scale horses quickly chased after them. The guards got off their horses, overturned the carriage, and a blond girl with frightened eyes fell out.

The middle-aged couple watched the incident come to light, and knelt down and begged bitterly.

"No, please, my lord, don't take Sophia away!"

"Oh, selfish and ignorant guy, you still want to escape? Do you know how many people your actions will cause the death of the great city lord!"

"No, please. Sofia is only sixteen."

"If you don't give a satisfactory sacrifice, it will bring disaster to our city of Atlanta! Get out!"

"."

The guards ignored the couple, dropped a bag of coins, and forcibly took the girl away.

Su Lun and the others frowned.

Lolota was filled with righteous indignation, his hand was already on the handle of the knife, as if he was going to cut someone if he disagreed.

Tatu even complained: "Humans are so cruel to their own kind."

No matter how you look at it, this is a drama where the nobles rape the girls.

But the previous conversation made Su Lun and Qianjo ponder.

Waiting for the guards to leave, the residents on the sidelines dared to discuss.

"Oh, it's a pity for that girl of the Clayton family. The evil dragon has awakened. Only by sacrificing the girl and the treasure, the evil dragon will not spread its anger on our city."

"That evil dragon on Lei Island? Hasn't it been dormant for more than ten years, why did it suddenly wake up?"

"You don't know yet? I don't know what happened in the south yesterday, and the rumble sounded like thunder. Didn't you see that many adventurers came to the city today? Some people speculated that some relic treasure might be born, and those guys flocked In the next few days, there will be more and more people.”

"."

It wasn't their own family members who were arrested, and these residents didn't seem to feel anything wrong except for a few comments.

This is an older lordship system than Luying, and the lord owns everything the subjects have.

Tatu translated the dialogue method of these people.

When the three of Su Lun heard it, they realized that it was going to be sacrificed to the blue dragon.

Su Lun murmured: "It seems that the matter happened because of us."

Yesterday's shelling alarmed the blue dragon, and only then did the sacrifice take place.

It seems that this is not the first time people in Atlanta have done this.

If you can't beat it, just sacrifice a tribute. This rule applies to both humans and monsters.

Qian Tiao's eyes gleamed sharply, and his hands were casually resting on the handle of the knife, so he was naturally not afraid of a fight.

But since it is a sacrifice, it cannot die for the time being. After thinking about it, Su Lun didn't rush to make a decision, and said, "Let's go, let's check the situation first."

Several people walked towards the tavern where adventurers gathered together.

Not long after, they came to the Adventurer's Tavern.

This is the busiest place in town.

Even though it is broad daylight, the tavern is full of people, and there is a lot of noise.

The city of Atlanta is not big, and the Adventurer's Tavern is the Adventurer's Union. The mercenary group will also issue adventure rewards here to recruit teammates.

The four of Su Lun found a lively tavern and walked straight in.

Although Tatu could speak the common language of the Dragon Kingdom, it was his first time visiting a human tavern, and he was a little at a loss.

Su Lun is familiar with the way, although he can't understand, but he is a qualified drinker.

He pointed to the drinks on the table next to him, and threw out two silver coins.

There are many tips, and the bartender naturally smiled and brought the wine.

The four of them sat in the corner.

When the wine was served, Su Lun took a sip and found that it tasted surprisingly good.

This wine is translated as "Dragon Barley Wine", which is a specialty here.

He and Qiantiao have the same capacity for alcohol, Gulu Gulu just downed a big glass.

Lolota and Tatu sipped lightly.

They drank and chatted.

Tatu listened attentively, and also translated some important information from the drinker's mouth.

The most talked about by the drinkers is naturally the "abnormal noise" yesterday, because it is a dangerous sea area and few people dare to go there.

Mostly guesswork.

Su Lun also looked around all the time. But what surprised him was that on the tavern's reward list, the top one was a material reward task.

It was a reward offered by the royal family to find [Tears of Death] and [Dragon's Breath Fruit].

Before he was curious to inquire, the adventurers were obviously more interested in the material mission that the royal family promised to use "any conditions" as a reward.

"Hey! Brother Tut, why is the royal family offering a reward for two materials?"

"Oh, I heard that Her Majesty the Queen was cast with the petrification curse by the vicious witch, and urgently needs materials to configure the antidote to save her life."

"Ah witch? What kind of witch can hurt the future?"

"That's right. It's the famous Helen."

"Helen? The 'No. 1 Beauty in Pania' that His Majesty the King snatched back from the Kingdom of Pania? Isn't she deeply loved by His Majesty the King? How did she become a witch?"

"Isn't it? The prophet of the temple has long predicted that it is a witch who will bring disaster to the kingdom. Her beauty caused the two countries to provoke a war, and made Her Majesty the queen suffer the pain of the curse. The royal family is ready to burn to death She didn't expect that the witch didn't seem to be afraid of the flames, so instead of dying after being burned, she ran away. Now her whereabouts are unknown."

"Oh! No wonder the wanted notice at the gate of the city. I wonder why a beautiful woman is wanted. It turned out to be that one."

"."

When it comes to beautiful women, we're immediately interested.

Tatu translated the words of those people.

Su Lun listened, not interested in any witches, he just didn't expect such a coincidence that this material seems to be the formula of "Petrochemical Antidote"?

But it's not surprising.

The original plan was to take a look at the city of Atlanta, if not, go directly to the capital.

In a lordship society, the royal family owns everything.

If there really is an antidote to the petrified curse, it is certainly in the hands of those in power.

Tatu was also very excited, and got the information he wanted just now.

But she frowned immediately, wondering again: "If it is these two materials, it will be very troublesome."

Even if the royal family is looking for it again, it is naturally a rare material.

Listening to the question, Su Lun asked casually, "What are these two materials?"

Alchemists know all kinds of materials.

But because of cultural differences, sometimes the name will be different.

The warehouses of materials in the Small Void Realm piled up like mountains, and he thought he might have some.

Tatu thought for a while and said, "[Death Tears] are the tears of lord-level undead. But undead monsters of that level usually don't shed tears. Once they cry, they are the purest energy essence in the world. This is very Very rare material."

"Tears of the Dead?"

When Su Lun heard the description, he thought about it for a moment.

Then, by coincidence, I discovered that I really did have it!

He once obtained a material [Alice's tears] in the cursed space of [White Monastery] in the Ruins of Dawn, isn't it the tears of the lord-level undead?

But before seeing the detailed formula, he also determined whether the material properties were the same.

Without further ado, Su Lun asked again: "What about [Dragon's Breath Fruit]?"

Tatu added: "It's a kind of fruit that can only exist in the dragon's lair. That kind of fruit grows where the dragon sleeps, and it will take at least a hundred years to mature. It is said that the purer the blood of the dragon, the more effective the dragon's breath fruit is." The better."

"oh."

When Su Lun heard this, some thoughts flashed through his mind.

To solve the petrification curse at the level of the gorgon, the materials must be unusual, and these two things should be taken for granted.

Really hard to find.

No wonder the royal family put up rewards.

While talking, those drinkers started talking about [Dragon's Breath Fruit] again.

"Hey, tell me, the royal family has placed an unlimited bounty this time, will that "Dragon Hunter" come to Atlanta? "

"Who knows. Anyway, I heard that the Dragon Knight Legion of the royal family will come. After all, the evil dragon on Leihai Island is a pure-blooded blue dragon, and there are probably high-grade [Dragon's Breath Fruits] in its lair."

"Hey, even if you really have it, you can get it if you want! Even if you ride a flying dragon, you can't escape the pursuit of that blue dragon. It's as fast as lightning, and even if you go out to sea, you can return to the lair in an instant. No one can get it"

"If the "Dragon Hunter" Bartolo Figaro came, he might be able to kill this dragon. It's a pity that that guy's whereabouts are unpredictable, he always does things according to his heart, and he can't invite him at any price."

"."

Tatu translated these dialogues again.

Destroyed the village and was injured by the knights. The adventurers talked about some of the dragon's past.

Su Lun also had a rough judgment on the rank of the blue dragon in his mind. It is estimated that there is a high probability that it is a seventh-level giant dragon, and its combat power is at the peak of an eighth-level professional, and it looks like a quasi-ninth level?

Because it is a lightning attribute, it is more difficult.

In this way, there is a lot to do.

He can do things that others can't!

Su Lun thought again, if the dragon left the cave, wouldn't he be able to take a stroll?

So what [Dragon's Breath Fruit] is not easy to get?

Moreover, it is even possible to lure that blue dragon to Rainbow Island, so that those mage groups can be hit hard?

With the previous experience of hunting dragons in the [Dwarf King's Resentment] cursed space, Su Lun felt that this plan was completely feasible.

But in reality, the dragon is clever and cunning, and this matter has to be carefully considered.

When Su Lun thought of this, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
