Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 668 Sunward Windmill Castle

Su Lun had lived in Rose Manor for a while, and everything here was familiar.

After entering, not only the garden and courtyard are exactly the same as in memory, but almost all the servants in the manor are still the familiar faces from before.

The housekeeper, the groom, the gardener, the maid, etc., Su Lun clearly remembered everyone's name.

The servants watched Su Lun come, and they didn't treat him as a guest at all, but as the master of the manor.

Like before, they stood on both sides of the road and bowed together: "Sir, you are back."

"Um."

Su Lun didn't feel any barrier and walked all the way.

Apart from Martina and Jessica beside them, the other four personal maids were already waiting at the door.

He walked over, and several maids Yingyingyanyan greeted together: "Hello, sir~"

Their smiles are as bright as flowers.

The corner of Su Lun's mouth also raised a smile.

There is nothing special about the food and daily life served by several maids.

As soon as she entered the door, Martina took off the windbreaker she was wearing and hung it on the coat pile. Several other maids also greeted her all the way, tidying up the boots, cleaning the dust, and taking out the clothes at home to help Su Lun change.

Su Lun originally only wanted to meet Ekaterina, but didn't want to live here. But before he had time to say anything, the maids had already done everything naturally.

Just like in those days, they took care of the husband's daily life very carefully.

Jessica helped tidy up her clothes, and asked with a smile: "Sir, do you want to take a rest first? If you feel tired, this servant can give you a massage. Miss may not be back for a while."

When Su Lun heard this, he recalled the palace secret massage that was really memorable, but he also said, "No. I'll go to the study and sit for a while."

Most of the time they spent with Ekaterina in Rose Manor, they stayed in the study on the second floor. The familiar environment is perfect for waiting for others.

"Okay, sir."

Jessica responded with a smile, and then led Su Lun up to the second floor.

The decoration in the house is exactly the same as a few years ago, and Su Lun is no stranger to it.

Jessica helped open the study door, and he didn't treat himself as an outsider, and walked in.

The maids brought hot drinks and pastries, and left consciously.

They all know that the master has the habit of reading quietly.

Su Lun walked to the sofa by the window, and memories came to his mind. Once he and Ekaterina were quietly busy with their respective affairs by the window, and spent a peaceful but memorable day.

The moonlight outside the window is pleasant, the wind blows the leaves rustling, and the light and shadow dance on the wall.

This corner of the study can always make people feel at ease.

Su Lun sat on the sofa he used to sit on, took a sip of warm coffee, and glanced casually at the bookcases all over the wall.

There are few alchemy classics on the bookshelf by the window, mostly poetry and literature.

This is also Ekaterina's favorite to read in her spare time.

She has the habit of leaving a label after reading a book.

Looking at the many extra tags, Su Lun knew that the man who became the emperor of the empire still maintained his love for reading.

Suddenly, Su Lun's eyes froze.

In his current vision, the Alchemy Plane has no secrets. At a glance, there is a very special classic on the bookshelf.

This purple gold-covered tome is haunted by the complete rules of the world, which is a very strong curse. It is very similar to the characteristics of the [Death Novels · Country of Underworld] obtained back then.

There is a name on the cover of the book: "The Windmill Castle to the Sun".

Su Lun's expression suddenly changed, from sharp to soft, as if he thought of something.

"Sunward Windmill", if he remembered correctly, was the steam castle that "Fick" and Ekaterina went to honeymoon after their wedding.

Unfortunately, at that time, in order to ambush the "immortal monk" Rasputin, the trip was declared over from the very beginning.

Looking at this note now, Su Lun's heart is together.

He walked over and took out the notebook. After flipping through it, the surrounding scene changed, and he had already entered the world of books.

The first page of the book reads: It was a spring day full of mountain flowers and the sun was shining brightly. In the valley where the breeze blows, a steam travel castle is emitting white smoke. On the light green lawn, a girl with a flaxen whip and small freckles on her face is drawing an oil painting about spring

Words become images, and the images suddenly come to life in front of your eyes.

The colorful wild flowers are blooming all over the mountains and plains.

As soon as Su Lun came in, the breeze blew on his face, bringing the fragrance of wild flowers from the mountains.

Not far away is the punk and romantic Xiangyang Windmill Castle.

The time is quiet and undisciplined.

Not far away on the hillside is a girl wearing a hat. She is wearing a plain white dress dotted with tiny yellow chrysanthemums. From time to time, she looked into the distance, and from time to time she bowed her head and was concentrating on drawing something on her drawing board.

"Huh~"

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, causing ripples on the grass.

The long skirt fluttered with the wind, and the girl quickly pressed the skirt with her hands, but the beige wide-brimmed hat with lace bow on her head was also blown by the wind.

In a panic, the girl wanted to grab the hat, but as soon as her fingertips touched it, the hat fled happily in the wind, only grabbing a ray of wind.

In a blink of an eye, the hat was carried by the wind and fell into the hands of Su Lun who stopped to watch.

Turning around, it was a girl with big flaxen braids, she smiled with dimples, as if all the pure and beautiful things in the world were left on that innocent face.

The two looked at each other, and the girl seemed to recognize the person, and with a bright smile, she greeted excitedly, "Long time no see, Mr. Su Lun~"

When we meet again, she speaks, just like back then.

Su Lun still remembers clearly that the first time the two met was at the Star Hotel in Blizzard City in the north of Luying.

At that time, he went to find his lost ring and confronted the buyer in the hotel.

When we met for the first time, the girl with big braids and freckles introduced herself very seriously: "My name is Katyusha, and I am a trainee astrologer."

Like an old friend who has known for a long time is reunited, Katyusha's eyes are filled with joy from the bottom of her heart.

As she spoke, she pressed down on the hem of her skirt and happily ran down the hillside all the way.

The girl rushed into her arms, a scent of a girl rushed into her nostrils, she looked up at herself, her eyes were like the stars in a summer night. Su Lun suddenly felt a familiar warmth welling up in his heart, and the corner of his mouth also raised a smile, "Katyusha, long time no see."

It was as if they had never been apart.

"Mr. Sullen, can I include you in my story?"

"If I'm the main character, I don't mind."

"You are so greedy. But in my story, what should I do if I want to be the protagonist?"

"Ah, in the story, just write a romantic love story."

"I don't want it! Astrology tells me that I will be the most shining star in the future. Superfluous things like love will only hinder my speed of drawing my sword!"

"If you haven't experienced a heart-wrenching love, how can you write a good story that makes people cry?"

"Huh, it seems to make sense. I'll tell you later when I figure out how to write our story."

"."

It turned out that she really wrote their stories into poetry.

The world of this poem is not as complete as [The Kingdom of the Underworld] at the level of laws, but it uses poetry as a carrier to record a complete love story.

There is a little girl like an ugly duckling, she looks ordinary, she is innocent, loves poetry, loves time, white clouds, night...all beautiful things.

She traveled the entire continent as a bard, thinking she would be a lonely poet.

But on the way, she met a man named Su Lun, which turned into the most romantic encounter in her life.

"Mr. Su Lun, long time no see. It seems like a long time, a long time ago."

"yes."

"."

Su Lun and the girl with big braids sat on the pedals of the sun-facing windmill, blowing the cool spring breeze, and looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them.

Katyusha laid out her fair legs happily, and the two were as close as they were in the Emerald Holy Land back then, without any estrangement at all.

She is not Ekaterina, she does not have the domineering power of the Empress of the United Empire.

She's just a kind, pure girl who loves poetry and life.

"Remember why I bit you in the first place?"

"Ah, I was drunk at the time, and I only remembered it after a long, long time."

"You nasty guy, you obviously took advantage of me at that time, but you still despise me?"

"Hahaha I haven't seen you for a long time, and I haven't grown up."

"Huh? You try again, there is obviously a change, okay?"

"."

In Su Lun's current state, any illusion can be seen through at a glance.

Even in the book world of the [Nation of Underworld] level.

However, in this "Windmill Castle to the Sun", he is immersed and obsessed, and wants to stay in this world for a long time.

He even had an idea in his heart that he wanted to accompany that girl to travel the world and complete that romantic journey.

Chatting and chatting, my mind seems to be in a very mysterious state.

Hazy, psychedelic, unreal.

Su Lun has been thinking about a question: Do people in the low-latitude world really exist?

Just like the characters in the world in the book.

The higher the rank, the more confused this doubt is, instead of being resolved.

Can't deny it.

Can't prove it either.

This question will probably only be answered when one truly reaches the god level.

No matter how thick a book is, it will be finished one day.

Su Lun couldn't bear to turn to the end, but it became thinner with each page.

The pictures in his mind flashed like slides, and he realized that there was that girl on every page, she was playful, lively, and cute.

When the page turned to the end, the girl was standing in the place where the flowers were blooming, smiling to herself, and waving her arms at him: "Mr. Su Lun, goodbye, you have to take good care of yourself."

Just like parting from Emerald Holy Land back then.

She once said: Sorry for leaving without saying goodbye, because this is the best ending I can think of for the story.

Su Lun sighed slightly.

The best endings of stories are left in poetry.

At this moment, he fully understood what Hayato Fujiwara left most precious in his novels.

The great writer wrote the story of his youth with a pen, waiting for the white-haired girl to find it again and see their original appearance.

With pen and ink, the changes of the years are smoothed out.

From the first page of the book, they got to know each other again, just like they were back then.

"Hello, my beautiful deskmate. My name is Gustave. Nice to meet you. My dream is to become a great writer and adventurer! Now, we are classmates."

"Hi, my name is Natasha~"

That beautiful period will remain in the novel forever.

When it reopened, that story reopened.

Another hot and romantic love affair.

With this thought in mind, Su Lun also opened the notes again.

It is still the valley where the mountain flowers are blooming, a steam castle called Xiangri Windmill, and a girl in a floral white dress is painting oil paintings leisurely and attentively on the hillside.

The wind blew up the hat, she reached out to take it off, looked back and saw the man who stopped by the side of the road, and smiled: "Long time no see, Mr. Su Lun~"

Su Lun also looked at the smile in his eyes, "Long time no see, Katyusha."

He saw the girl in his memory, again and again.

again and again.

The world in this book is really beautiful.

In the quiet study room, Su Lun stood in front of the bookcase, flipping through the book of poems carefully.

His whole body fell into a very mysterious state.

Looking at "The Windmill to the Sun", he felt that his world seemed to make up for something very important.

Something he seemed to have overlooked was in his hands.

Su Lun suddenly felt that it seemed to be complete.

He can look down on life and death.

But if I really want to leave the alchemy plane, it seems that the most important people I meet in my life are the ones I really can't let go of.

No one bothered, the moonlight poured in through the window and shone on his face.

And the slightly raised arc of the corner of the mouth.

He smiled from the bottom of his heart.

But at this moment, there was a small sound outside the door.

The maids would never bother him unless they were summoned.

Su Lun also looked sideways slightly.

At this time, I watched a pair of white lotus-like arms push open the slightly open study door, and then a small head came in through the crack of the door.

It was a little girl with beautiful purple hair, as pretty as a porcelain doll.

About four or five years old.

She looked at Su Lun in the study, and there was something strange in those jewel-like rippling eyes. But he blinked curiously, looking at the stranger in front of him.

Su Lun saw this little girl who was 70% similar to Ekaterina at a glance, and then couldn't look away.

Seeing the crystal pendant hanging on her chest again, he immediately understood what it was.

This is the space pendant that I once gave to Ekaterina.

Before I wondered why it was in the manor,

It was on her.

As Su Lun watched, an inexplicable warmth suddenly rose in his heart, and his eyes became gentle.

The little purple-haired girl didn't seem to be very familiar with herself. She stared at Su Lun with her big watery eyes, and finally asked timidly, "Are you Daddy?"

She asked in an uncertain tone, and added: "Mummy said that only Daddy would come to the study."

When Su Lun heard this, the corners of his eyes suddenly felt moist.

This is the first time I have heard this name as a human being in two lifetimes.

Very strange feeling.

But straight to the bottom of my heart.

"OK."

A gentle smile hung on Su Lun's face, thinking about it, he opened his arms.

When the purple-haired girl heard the response, her blue eyes lit up like shining stars.

At a young age, she was already beautiful and charming.

Her small white porcelain face instantly burst into a happy smile. After a moment of hesitation, she trotted over and bumped into Su Lun's arms.

Su Lun lifted up the girl, and seeing her reflection in her eyes, he suddenly felt that there were more and more people in this world that he was nostalgic for.

The little girl was very happy, as if she had obtained the most precious treasure, she seemed to hold back a lot of words, and said in a very fast chatter: "Daddy, why haven't you come home for so long, Mommy said, are you Great adventurer, great hero, going to many places to eliminate monsters and maintain world peace.”

"OK."

Su Lun had mixed feelings in his heart and didn't know how to respond.

He wanted to call out the little girl's name, but found that he didn't know it.

Fortunately, the little girl said it herself.

Hearing Su Lun's response, she became even more excited, pouted and waved her lotus arms: "Vivienne will also become a daddy in the future, become a great adventurer, and defeat monsters!"

Originally, all children like to listen to stories of heroes and adventures.

But for a father, it seems too empty, too far away.

There were a lot of thoughts in his mind, Su Lun looked at the purple glossy hair scattered, and suddenly thought of something. He drew strokes with his fingers in front of him, and a crimson nine-pointed star alchemy formation appeared.

The little girl watched this scene with excitement on her face, "Wow~ it's the nine-pointed star, Mr. March said, this is the most powerful alchemy!"

"Um."

Su Lun smiled slightly, not knowing who "Mr. March" was.

He had discovered early in the morning that there was a ninth-level professional of the dark department secretly protecting him in the shadow in the corner. If I guessed correctly, it should be March Keton, the deputy commander of the Military Intelligence Department code-named "Black Joker".

But the little girl didn't know, just mentioning her name, the commander March, who was called the strongest shadow guard in the empire, shuddered and swallowed his saliva.

Between masters, if you know the gap with just one thought, then the gap is really huge.

The Ninth Level knew very well that this person in the room was the real terror.

There was no malice, and Su Lun ignored the shadow. While hugging the little girl, he threw a lot of high-grade materials into the alchemy formation with one hand, and then pinched the Warlock Seal, and a hairpin was slowly formed.

This one is the same as the [Serea Blessing] that his teacher gave him back then, it has the characteristics of blessing, protection, and luck.

Su Lun made it, and then used his hand as a pen to engrave a line of words on the hairpin: "To my dearest baby-Vivian".

Holding the shiny hairpin, he asked, "Vivienne, here's a little gift for you, do you like it?"

The face of the little girl in her arms was already full of anticipation, and she nodded repeatedly: "Yeah! I like it very much!"

Even though she couldn't wait, the court etiquette she had been taught since she was a child made her not reach out to take it, but tilted her head, with the elegance of waiting for someone to help her put it on.

Seeing this, Su Lun's eyes were full of tenderness.

He reached out and put the hairpin on Vivian's head himself.

The little girl was very happy.

Coincidentally, at this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Su Lun didn't need to look to know who was coming.

The maid pushed the door open, and a beautiful face came into view. With purple hair like a waterfall and a gorgeous gold silk emperor robe, who is it but Ekaterina?

Su Lun and Ekaterina who came back looked at each other.

Suddenly, two figures overlapped in Su Lun's eyes.

She is not Katyusha.

But Katyusha is her.

Haven't had time to say anything yet.

Vivian in Su Lun's arms shouted excitedly: "Mommy, Mommy~ Look, Daddy is back!"

Ekaterina smiled slightly.

Su Lun also smiled.

Just looking at each other, it seems that they didn't say anything, but they seemed to say a lot.

Yekaterina blinked her eyelashes slightly, her eyes were smiling, she pondered for a moment, and then said softly: "Long time no see."

When Su Lun listened, he felt a moment of emotion in his heart, and said, "Well, long time no see."

Time has passed in a blink of an eye, and I don't know where it is scattered.
