Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 586: Ancient Weapons

"There are some weapons and armor in the forest on the island, which are left by human adventurers who have landed on the island for countless years. Those things are useless to our Gorgon family, so you can take them if you need them."

"There are also many ancient shipwrecks near the Star Swirl. Countless ships have sunk there since ancient times. As far as I know, there was another fleet called 'Kingdom of Betas' among you humans that sank there. Because Not interested, and have never seen it, so I can’t guarantee there will be anything.”

"Then there is the seabed in the northwest of the island, where there are several ancient human relics. I see that you are interested in the ancient buildings on the island, and there may be something you need in the sea."

"There is a gold mine on Skull Island. It used to be the largest gold mine in the Kingdom of Ancient Dragons. It was abandoned after being attacked by crypt monsters. There are some high-level monsters on the island, but I think it shouldn't be a big problem for you."

"."

The Gorgon is not interested in equipment treasures or anything, and material equipment is useless. So even if there are gold mines and shipwreck treasures nearby, they are not at all attractive to them.

But when Su Lun heard Queen Medusa's words, his eyes were full of anticipation.

For humans, these are treasures!

This sea area is already an extremely dangerous sea area, and few humans set foot in it, but anyone who can reach it must have good strength. So the equipment they carry are naturally good things.

Especially Coco Losi Island, which is the territory of the Gorgon. Whether it's a bounty hunter who came for an adventure or borrowed a mission, it's impossible for anyone without a seventh or eighth rank to be able to land on the island. Perhaps it may not be possible for a person to successfully land on the island in a hundred years. But for countless years, the number of "stone carvings" on the island has accumulated quite a lot.

And hearing about the treasures of the shipwreck is even more exciting.

The "Kingdom of Betas" that Queen Medusa called Su Lun has also been seen in the classics of the Silver Dragon Kingdom. This was the most powerful and richest kingdom among the nine kingdoms of the Dragon Kingdom.

Because of the failure of the royal power struggle, the last king of the kingdom, Gercis XIX, went to sea with the treasury treasure, and finally lost the news.

Didn't expect it to sink near here?

As for gold mines and ancient ruins, the value is also immeasurable.

Queen Medusa's gift is not light.

Queen Medusa didn't care about these extraneous things, and Su Lun was not too polite.

Today's Dawn Regiment is developing at a high speed, and it happens that there is a huge gap in funds and equipment.

For example, the [Sky Mechanical Fortress] under construction, the research funding of Dr. Banks, Su Lun’s puppet army, or the investment of the war workshop are all bottomless pits that burn money.

Just to solve the urgent need.

Su Lun memorized those treasure locations carefully in his mind. After listening, he also politely said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift."

Queen Medusa didn't seem to care about the gift of these treasures at all, and said with a normal expression: "As for the giant island, I can help you negotiate with those cyclops, and it should allow you to land on the island smoothly. But can you get the spring water? , that's up to you."

After hearing this, Su Lun quickly thanked him: "Thank you very much."

He had personally witnessed the scene where the Holy Son Frank was killed in seconds before, so he didn't know that it was impossible for him to force his way into the Giant Island.

Now Queen Medusa's words directly solved his biggest concern.

No matter whether you can get [Fountain of Mimir], at least the risk is minimized.

Queen Medusa didn't say any more, and said again: "If you have nothing to do, now I have to deal with my people."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Su Lun suddenly thought of something, and asked again: "That... I want to ask, if you don't mind, can I study the altar?"

While speaking, he pointed to the empty black water pool.

Queen Medusa listened and looked over, "It's up to you. As long as you don't go to the temple, you can look anywhere else on the island."

There are enough newcomers to the allies in these words.

Su Lun also nodded.

After speaking, Queen Medusa twisted her snake body and went into a messy forest.

There crawled a group of gorgons who came to plead guilty.

Now that the crisis has been lifted, Su Lun has no sense of urgency at all.

He carefully observed the surrounding sea area with the vision shared by the black crow, and he was not sure if the Dragon Clan really didn't dare to come again.

He didn't dare to be careless, so he didn't plan to release the Eternal Night for the time being.

However, Su Lun looked at the empty black pool again. The ancient texts on the murals were difficult to understand, and he frowned, so he could only ask for help.

With a pinch of the Warlock Seal, a black hole in space emerged in his hand, and a figure walked out.

It was Mr. Hei with empty arms and cuffs.

Su Lun greeted, "Mr. Hei, are you all right now?"

Mr. Hei's face was very pale, but he shook his head: "It's nothing serious."

Before that, he desperately held down the legion commander Augustus to buy enough time for Su Lun, but he also broke his arms because of it.

However, this kind of injury is not a big problem for the current medical technology of the Dawn Corps. Dr. Banks' biological laboratory has already mastered various limb connection techniques. After a few months of self-cultivation, it will be back to normal.

Su Lun's own leg is currently fitted with a mechanical prosthesis.

Mr. Hei didn't seem to care about his injuries, but was more interested in archeology. He had already looked at the pool and asked, "Who agrees with our research?"

As soon as he came out, he didn't feel it. There was a powerful existence on this island that made people feel faintly afraid of the breath.

It must be the Queen Medusa who has successfully inherited it.

"Yes. As long as you don't enter the temple, there are no other restrictions. Also, Her Royal Highness has given us a lot of gifts."

Su Lun smiled, and simply said what Queen Medusa said before.

Hearing this, Mr. Hei obviously knew the value of those treasures, and his pale face became a little more excited, "Hehe, our ally is really generous."

As he spoke, he also glanced at Su Lun, showing a meaningful smile.

Su Lun didn't know that the old man was teasing himself, so he smiled and said nothing.

The two of them walked into the empty black water pool while talking.

In the previous battle, the poisonous water had been washed away by the shock wave, and now it turned into a large pit, revealing a funnel-shaped sunken building in the shape of an arena.

But it wasn't long before the miasma gathered in the pit again, turning into a thick black mist.

This toxin is not a big problem for Su Lun's two seventh-orders.

As the two walked, Mr. Hei looked at it and was deeply moved: "A building built several epochs ago has such an energy-gathering effect. Goblin craftsmanship is incredible."

"really."

Because Su Lun has observed it before, he has a general understanding of the situation in the pit.

The entire bottom of the pit is piled up with stones, on which various ancient characters and symbols are inscribed.

Very complicated, like some kind of regular code.

Cryptography is also the basic skill of alchemists, but Su Lun has never seen this arrangement.

Mr. Hei lay on the stone wall and studied for a while, his brows became more and more frowned.

Both of them didn't speak, each was observing the pattern of those symbols.

Su Lun's omniscient pupil has identified some information, which shows [a mysterious lock mechanism with an unknown arrangement].

Those special symbols and ancient characters are probably like a combination lock, arranged as complicated as the stars in the sky.

Because there were no comparative cases in the harvested knowledge, he didn't see many ways.

After a while, Mr. Hei suddenly spoke.

He sighed and said: "In these symbols, I see almost all the shadows of modern cryptography such as 'Penrose's Puzzle Solution', 'Bordenstein's Astrology Encryption Method', 'Hilbert's High-Dimensional Logic' and so on. "

Su Lun asked, "Do you see the ordering pattern?"

Mr. Hei shook his head and said: "I can see some ways. But the code combination on the stone wall is too complicated. I estimate that if you can't find the correct solution, there are at least one billion permutations that need to be tried."

Although there was some helplessness in his tone, there was a sense of wonder at the glorious ancient civilization in his eyes. He paused and said: "Normally, it is impossible for the human brain to calculate such a complicated arrangement key. Even the most An advanced difference engine will probably take hundreds or thousands of years to calculate."

"Um."

Su Lun nodded slightly when he heard this, and agreed with this statement.

The complexity of this stone wall far exceeds any encryption method he has seen before.

As soon as he responded, Su Lun recalled Mr. Hei's words in his mind, and suddenly realized something, his expression suddenly lit up: "You mean Dora?!"

The brain power of ordinary people can't do it, but there is a special existence in their dawn group.

"Um."

Mr. Hei smiled, and said again: "These symbolic arrangements are the oldest goblin engineering codes I have seen. Miss Dora is not only proficient in engineering, but her [Isaac Blasphemer] breeding equipment will provide far more than normal People's computing power. To crack the secret here, only she is the most suitable."

Su Lun nodded.

And the dawn group not only has Dora, but also Mafa's top-notch instruments.

Not necessarily impossible.

Without thinking about it, he pinched the Warlock Seal, and Dora and a dozen members from the Little Void appeared in the pit.

These are the professionals who are best at cryptography in the Liming group. Hearing that Su Lun said that decryption is needed, they signed up enthusiastically one by one.

But as soon as everyone came out, looking at the various symbols on the surrounding walls, they all immediately turned into bitter faces.

"Ah, this is too complicated. Just deciphering this line of symbols, I think I can do it. But these walls are full of, my God, I have never seen such a complicated ciphertext in my life."

"Oh, so even Mr. Su Lun and Mr. Hei were stumped? Hahaha, then suddenly I won't feel like an idiot who can't understand anything in front of these symbols."

"."

Dora looked at the various symbols on the wall in front of her. As a top mechanical engineer, she could see the way at a glance, but she also frowned and said, "It's very complicated."

After hearing this, Su Lun asked, "Dora, how sure do you think you are?"

Dora didn't respond in a hurry, and the warlock pinched her hand, "Replanting Clothes Unravel!"

Looking again, her eyes were already numb without any emotional fluctuations, as cold as a biological computer.

After a while, she responded, "It depends on luck."

Hearing this, Su Lun also smiled, and said, "Let's try it, everyone."

Not sure whether it can be opened, nor sure that there will be gains after unlocking the password, but it's better to try first.

As soon as these words came out, everyone became busy.

In the next few days, there were no giant dragons to attack, and the dawn regiment stationed on Keke Luoxi Island.

For the first time in countless years, this Gorgon Island, which has always been a forbidden place for humans, has humans walking around.

After the treasure hunting plan of those guys in the God Plane was completely thwarted, everyone in Liming was not in a hurry.

[Fountain of Mimir] They can't run on the giant island. Without enemies, they can slowly consider the issue of landing on the island.

Su Lun, Mr. Hei, and Dora's staff spent all day in the pit researching and deciphering the ancient goblin.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Dawn Group started their treasure hunt in full swing.

The Dawn Regiment formed several treasure-hunting teams, some of them hunted for treasure on Kekeluxi Island, some went to the battlefield before Hell Volcano, some went to salvage sunken ships, and some went to archaeological seabed ruins and gold mines

Even the magic towers on the other side of the Moon Canyon were all moved into the small void by Su Lun.

And this treasure hunting process was surprisingly smooth, and countless treasures were unearthed every day.

The Dawn regiment encountered almost no accidents.

All thanks to Queen Medusa.

The news of her return seems to have spread throughout the vast sea area near Kokolosi in a short period of time. Almost all creatures know that this queen of the Gorgon clan has super-level strength that cannot be offended.

Once a powerful overlord-level creature appears in an area, other creatures of the same level will not be allowed to exist within a certain range.

So much so that in this sea area, no high-level sea monster dares to approach Coco Losi Island, and the safety of everyone in the dawn group is also guaranteed.

With the protection of such an overlord-level existence, not to mention walking sideways in this sea area, at least there are no monsters without eyes that will attack actively.

time flies.

It's seven days in a flash.

On this day, at noon, the wind and the sun are beautiful.

There was a space fluctuation in front of the Gorgon Temple, and Su Lun walked out from the space crack.

He just came back from orangutan island.

An ancient metallurgical plant has been discovered in an abandoned gold mine over there. After encircling and suppressing the crypt monsters in the mine, the treasure hunting members of the dawn group found a large number of smelted gold nuggets and high-purity ore. Those harvests can fill several large ships of the Eternal Night, and it is not convenient to transport, so Su Lun can only go to the Small Void Realm in the past.

There are also underwater relics and shipwreck salvage. There have been very rich harvests in the past few days. Su Lun has been working as a porter almost every day, busy and immersed in the joy of harvest.

When I came to the front of the temple, it was still a busy scene.

Mr. Hei and Dora, a kind of decryptor, are still busy deciphering the encrypted symbols in the stone pit.

More than a dozen precision instruments were crackling, and the decryptors were also grimly trying to figure out the possible combinations.

The more in-depth research these days, the more they are sure that the encryption ban hides a big secret.

Mr. Hei even asserted that this may be some secret involving the gods, which is why there is such a complicated seal.

So these days they are calculating day and night.

But the process of deciphering the prohibition is too complicated. Even with Dora, the humanoid computer and Mafa's top-notch equipment, the result of Su Lun's questioning is still only the words "see luck" from beginning to end.

So much so that science can't completely solve this problem, the Dawn Mission has used metaphysics.

Dora learned from Su Lun that No. 19 has the hidden talent of "lucky", so she also got her here.

When Su Lun came, he was listening to Dora and Nineteen chatting.

"Sister No. 19, try this series of decoding arrangements."

"Ah Dora, do you want me to try? I feel like I'm useless"

"Oh, Mr. Su Lun said that you are very useful~"

"."

In the center of the stone pit, there is a trapezoidal blue-ray model like a 3D holographic projection projected in the void. There are also countless mysterious symbols and ancient characters on it. If you look closely, it is a reduced projection of the entire stone pit.

This is Mafa's black puzzle-solving technology, a forbidden simulator made of magic energy crystals, which is used to efficiently decipher certain forbidden mechanisms that cannot be tried multiple times.

At the moment, No. 19 is like playing a crossword puzzle, trying various combinations again and again.

Seeing Su Lun come back, everyone raised their heads to say hello.

Su Lun nodded, walked in, and joined the boring deciphering work as usual.

However, it was a coincidence that he had just returned not long ago.

Nineteen fiddled with a new permutation combination on the simulator, and without warning, the Blu-ray model suddenly started spinning.

This scene also made everyone in the pit, including Su Lun, look sideways.

It was completely different from the previous garbled characters. After this arrangement test, the text and symbols on the simulator were actually connected into pieces, forming a nine-pointed star formation.

Everyone was stunned, and they hadn't realized what happened.

After all, they have repeated this mechanical action countless times in the past few days, and they have also failed countless times.

This is the first time that different results have been obtained.

However, a moment later, someone couldn't help exclaiming: "It's done?!"

Having said that, Su Lun also looked at Mr. Hei and Dora.

The surprise in Mr. Hei's eyes disappeared for a moment, replaced by surprise.

Dora's eyes trembled at a high frequency, as if she was calculating something quickly, and after a few breaths, she was overjoyed: "Cracked!"

Hearing this, everyone cheered.

After many days of sleepless nights, finally there is a result, everyone's face is full of joy.

Even Su Lun was slightly surprised and surprised.

This hundreds of millions of attempted permutations and combinations, they roughly estimated that it would theoretically take several months to unravel.

Now it has been cracked in seven days, which is indeed very lucky.

After multiple confirmations, Dora confirmed that this is the correct way to crack the ban.

After discussing with several people, they decisively chose to open this ancient prohibition that even the Gorgon family didn't know about.

Not long after, Su Lun had already cleared the field.

Before the temple, only he and Queen Medusa stood in the pit.

Su Lun asked, "Then let me try to crack it?"

"Um."

Queen Medusa nodded.

Even she is curious about what secrets are hidden under the temple.

If it was only Su Lun himself, he would be extremely careful. Just like the temple seal in the city of Atlantis before, a little carelessness would have disastrous consequences.

But now that Queen Medusa is here, if she says it's not a big problem, then it's not a big problem!

Su Lun went straight down.

According to the arrangement and combination deciphered before, he used the rune pen to repaint the magic paint in sequence on the symbols on the rock wall.

When the last symbol was smeared, the warlock pinched it, "Solution!"

Suddenly, the words on the wall suddenly lit up.

Like the previous simulation, these words came to life, forming a mysterious nine-pointed star formation in the air.

Su Lun did not dare to stay at the bottom of the pit, and teleported to Queen Medusa's side, watching the miraculous scene in front of him.

As the nine-pointed star array became brighter and brighter, it seemed to open a door to another world.

Seeing the identified information, Su Lun was startled: "The legendary 'Secret Cave of Time and Space'?!"

He clearly sensed that there was a large space behind the door. And the hidden secret of this prohibition turned out to be the [Cave of Time and Space], which is said to have no time flow.

According to the legend, the function of this space-time secret cave is to store some very important things as a storage space, not a monster seal.

This also reassured him a lot.

There has been no danger so far, and Su Lun also knows that the door must be opened in order to pry into the secret behind it.

Uncle Crow on his shoulder was still very quiet, and Su Lun opened the door carefully.

As expected, there was no danger.

After opening, there is a closed room in front of you.

The room is surrounded by extremely exquisite stone carvings. It looks... a bit like some kind of manufacturing blueprint?

Because Su Lun saw all kinds of dense data, part parameters, and structural exploded diagrams, which often appear on the engineering drawings of some goblin civilizations.

Su Lun didn't take a closer look, because a box in the center of the room immediately attracted his attention.

【A special sealed box】

Detailed Explanation: You need to use nine Medusa's snake hair scepters to unlock the secret box.

Seeing this, not only Su Lun, but also Queen Medusa looked very surprised.

Because both of them saw that there were nine snake-shaped grooves on the box, which looked like keyholes.

Coincidentally, they happen to have this thing.

Su Lun glanced at her side from the corner of her eye. Queen Medusa had six golden hairs on her head right now.

There are three more. Su Lun himself found one in the Lord's Mansion of Atlanta before, and got two more after killing the eighth-level Gorgon.

In other words, the nine snake-haired scepters happened to be all together!

Obviously, the things in this box are also related to the ancestors of the Gorgon family.

Although Su Lun was curious about what was in the box, he was not in a hurry to open it.

He felt that the reliefs in this room would give him some clues.

Su Lun's eyes scanned the drawings on the murals carefully.

Taking a closer look, he found that he had really made the right judgment before.

The carving on this mural is really a blueprint of a magical weapon called "Twilight of the Gods"!

Su Lun felt a little unbelievable, and was surprised in his heart: "This cannon can even kill gods?"

Because the more he understands the world, the more he feels small.

After entering the high-level professional field, the attack method is no longer purely energy level.

It's like how the explosion described in a novel collapsed the world. For people at high latitudes, it's just a few lines of words.

That is something at the level of law, not just energy.

As Su Lun gradually understood the world, he vaguely felt that the gods should be the existences who have mastered that kind of high-dimensional power.

So. Although the cannon on the wall is exquisite, it looks like it is designed to be a magic cannon that can withstand massive amounts of energy.

But how could it kill the gods?

Su Lun vaguely felt that the most important thing might be in the box.

Because there is one key thing missing from the drawings on the wall, that is "cannonballs".

After roughly reading the content on the relief, Su Lun basically confirmed the function of this room.

This is what the ancient goblins built to preserve this [Ragnarok Blueprint].

Most likely there is no danger.

And with Queen Medusa here, even if the one sealed in the box is really a super monster, the risk is not too great.

Su Lun thought about it and took out the three golden snake hairs in his hand.

Queen Medusa did not speak, and six of the snake hairs fell off her head.

Only those who are qualified to gather nine [Medusa's Scepter of Snake Hair] are eligible to open this box.

The things inside, without thinking too much, must be very high-level.

Su Lun used silk thread to slowly approach the nine snake hairs to the box.

When the two were about one meter apart, they were dragged by a mysterious force like snake hair and inlaid into the box.

There were a few metal crackling sounds, and the box that looked like gold but not gold suddenly opened.

There is no danger of triggering.

Inside is a black as ink gemstone.

It was so dark that people's eyes seemed to be sucked in.

【Twilight of the Gods】

Detailed Explanation: Also known as 'Zosimus Dark Matter', an artifact substance named after the discoverer; the magical ore once discovered by the mythical goblins in the endless void of the dark world contains super energy and the power of high-level laws that you cannot understand ;Through research, the goblins discovered that it has the special effect of restraining the belief of the gods, so this stone is also regarded as taboo by the gods;

Seeing this, Su Lun immediately understood everything, and was shocked in his heart: "Ancient god-killing weapons. This is the real black technology."
