Suellen rode his motorcycle all the way down Solomon Street, and then arrived at an inconspicuous rental house in Franklin District.
There was such a big fuss today, so he had no intention of continuing to show his face or contact anyone.
Hide it first to avoid being found by some special means.
As for other things, let’s wait until the limelight passes.
Moreover, now that [Lilith's Vampire Ring] has been obtained, he plans to take this opportunity to advance to the sixth level.
If you really wait until you advance to a higher level, your combat power will increase significantly, and you will be able to deal with any changes more calmly.
...
In the room, Su Lun put Uncle Crow on the bed and served him delicious food and drinks.
This is the most important "insurance" and should not be neglected.
He also sat on the sofa and let out a long breath.
My nerves have been tense, but now I feel relieved.
Su Lun reviewed all the things he encountered today in his mind, and almost figured out the context: "Since it is confirmed that Young Master William is the mastermind and dares to plot Rodriguez's old monster, then Archduke Raphael must be involved.
.The person who predicted my actions so accurately looks like some prophecy-type secret technique. It seems that the person who uses the 'Prism Barrier' should be the remaining priest of the Agapanaon Temple..."
After confirming the identity of the enemy, Su Lun also gained some confidence.
That Young Master William killed me once before, and now he's here again... I must kill this guy to avoid future troubles.
The strength of William's sixth level was once prohibitive, but now he is not a big threat to Su Lun. But behind him is the Raigadi family, which was once the Marfa royal family, so they should not be careless.
If you want to kill, you have to find a suitable opportunity.
As for Archduke Raphael, this is a headache.
This "sixth highest congressman" has the potential to dominate the Congress, and his power is so overwhelming that other senior aristocratic congressmen have nothing to do.
Moreover, from the beginning to the end of this incident, Archduke Raphael had no clues to grasp and no reason to explain.
However, Su Lun felt that a person like him who was determined to take revenge would not be able to give any reason or evidence.
But it is almost impossible to assassinate Archduke Raphael.
Even if he could be killed, there would be no real benefit other than causing a lot of trouble.
Su Lun suddenly thought of something, turned his eyes, and thought to himself: "I remember that there was information in the memory that was stripped before that there is a secret mechanical war factory of Raphael near the 'Nugget Island'?"
Thinking of this, the pirate heart suddenly emerged in his heart.
You schemed against me, wouldn't it be bad if I got some compensation?
The war factory in the deserted sea seems to be a secret base similar to "Old Linton". It specializes in the study of mechanical creatures such as mechanical octopuses. The most important thing is that the defense force is not very tight!
It happened that Su Lun felt that his war workshop was still lacking in various ways, while Raphael had a mechanical factory that had been secretly researching for decades and had sufficient materials, technology, and technical personnel...
Well, after the wedding blessing is given, then go get him!
Su Lun thought of this, and his depression after being tricked today dissipated a lot.
And being plotted this time is not entirely a bad thing.
Now that there is a commotion, people who are well-informed probably know that the "God of Death" is "Fick".
This means that even if you know that he has neuromechanical technology in his hands, there is no point in chasing him.
Because normal people would think that the technology must have fallen into the hands of the Lance family.
This is also one of the benefits of Su Lun's promise to marry.
Even in the name of marriage, the Lance family had to help him withstand some wind and rain.
Su Lun felt that although Ekaterina was not a friend, she was still a good partner.
...
But in the end, everything must be based on strength.
Next time you encounter such a conspiracy, you must be strong enough to make those conspirators lose a few teeth.
Just as Su Lun was about to take a breath, he suddenly let out a breath of cold air and glanced at the wound on his arm.
This is a wound made by [Sigurd's Dragon Slayer's Dagger].
Originally, this kind of minor trauma should have healed on its own due to his constitution, but now he was still bleeding, and there were redness, swelling and inflammation that looked like signs of infection.
If it weren't for the physical suturing with silk threads, 80% of the bleeding would result in death.
Now that he has some free time, he has time to treat his wounds.
Su Lun removed the silk thread suturing the wound and saw a mysterious force on the wound that prevented healing.
He took out several high-grade debridement agents and rinsed the wound repeatedly, and then the power slowly dissipated.
After using more than a dozen sticks, the wound was completely cleaned and the wound began to heal.
At this time, Su Lun took out the red-glossy dagger, looked at it, and muttered: "This [Dragon-Slaying Dagger] is really evil."
It's said to be a dagger, but more like a dagger.
If you look closely, you will see that there are ancient and mysterious patterns on the scarlet glowing blade. Some are alchemical runes, some are metal forging patterns, and some are special patterns that are incomprehensible.
And what's amazing is that these special lines cannot be seen with the right eye, and only the omniscient pupil of the left eye can see the blurred shadow.
"What a high-level inscription. This is probably the legendary god-level rune."
Su Lun observed it carefully for a while, as if appreciating a unique treasure.
The inscription on the dagger gave him a lot of inspiration.
It's like seeing the twinkling stars in the night sky. Although it is out of reach, I can still see the scenery in the sky.
It was identified as a "fallen magic weapon".
But now, it is probably an alchemy dagger of the "forbidden object" level.
Su Lun frowned and thought with some embarrassment: "This dagger needs to absorb the blood of higher-level creatures to maintain its sharpness. August also used it to kill people every day, and it gradually became so sharp. It needs to be maintained.
It’s not easy.”
This is indeed a magic weapon.
The most common "higher beings" are humans.
You have to kill people every day to maintain this almost evil edge.
Members of the Rodriguez family would use it to execute prisoners in various prison cells in Linton, including some high-level professional prisoners. Wen had been raised to such sharpness for decades.
Su Lun does not have this condition.
I tried it just now, but watering it with blood bags was useless. I had to stab and kill creatures to gain a weak buff.
He is not a murderous maniac. In order to maintain a weapon, he kills people randomly every day.
In other words, if the dagger falls into his hand, the edge will gradually become dull.
It's really a pity.
After all, regardless of whether it can slay the dragon or not, this is a top-notch weapon that can hurt seventh-level professionals.
"I don't know if living corpses are living beings?"
Su Lun thought of something.
It would be great if living corpses could also maintain this dagger.
Although the cost is a bit higher, it is still acceptable.
He thought about trying it slowly in the future.
Moreover, this dagger also has a special effect, that is, the more advanced creatures it kills, the greater the temporary sharpness effect will be.
When Su Danglun looked at the dagger and identified it, and there was a description of "drinking the divine blood to restore the light of the magic weapon", his thoughts became more active.
Su Lun's eyes showed anticipation, and he thought in his mind: "So, temporarily enchanting the dagger with 'sacred blood' will have miraculous effects?"
"Active Divine Blood" is definitely something that no one else has, and it doesn't even exist in the entire plane.
Because this is a plane with broken laws, it is impossible for there to be true god-level creatures.
But Su Lun does!
Everyone in the Mirror Organization has a fallen angel body in their hands, which is truly a true god.
Although his own heart has been refined into a breeding suit, Mr. Jing still has some "sacred blood" in stock.
Moreover, the divine fire of this fallen angel was fused by Pestoya. Theoretically, this fallen angel is not dead yet!
His blood might have a miraculous effect on this dagger.
Thinking of this, Su Lun also felt that if the dagger fell into his hands, it would be of great use in the future.
...
The next morning, the weather was fine.
The rumble of the first steam intercity train passing by on the street outside woke Su Lun from his meditation.
He opened his eyes and looked at the blue sky outside the window, his eyes full of energy.
This night of meditation not only healed the injuries from yesterday's battle, but also digested the knowledge harvested yesterday.
"Huh~ This harvest is really not easy..."
Su Lun felt a sense of satiety in his heart that he had never experienced before.
Yesterday's battle harvested Augustus, as well as the one or two hundred golden knights. The amount of knowledge was so large that he felt that he had almost digested it now.
Needless to say about the old monster, this old monster who has lived for more than a hundred years is incomparable to ordinary people in terms of his knowledge and alchemy knowledge.
However, after being stuck at the seventh level threshold and knowing that he could not break through, this old monster became more interested in scheming.
But even so, he has thoroughly studied almost all the fields that he can cover in alchemy below the seventh level.
Although I have not understood the knowledge above the seventh level, I have some exposure to it.
This made Su Lun a huge bargain, and he immediately felt as if his knowledge had doubled.
Especially when it comes to some high-level hidden fields, it is even more eye-opening.
He also had a clearer understanding of the various decadent current situations of Luying's upper class society.
And those one or two hundred golden knights also made Su Lun feel that he had gained a lot.
[Golden Spear Legion Battle Formation], [Golden Shield Legion Battle Formation], [Dragon-Slaying Battle Formation], [Seventy-two Formation Changes Essentials], [Medicinal Bath Secret Formula], [Golden Heavy Armor Forging Blueprint].
..etc.
This "Golden Holy Shield Heavy Armor Knights Legion" is one of Lu Ying's top legions, and it is also a noble legion inherited by the Rodriguez family for hundreds of years.
It is said that this is a training method passed down from an ancient dragon-slaying knight corps.
Su Lun digested those memories and realized that this was really the case.
This kind of group charge is really effective against single large monsters and top professionals. All kinds of formation tactics are also centered around charging and filling positions. What about breathing, interrupting, exhausting filling, all kinds of
Tactics take into account almost everything in the battle.
Normally, the combat power of the three hundred cavalry yesterday was completely enough to keep up with one or two seventh-level professionals, and it was even possible to kill them.
Theoretically speaking, as long as the average level of momentum is high enough, dragon slaying and the like are feasible.
Su Lun broke into a cold sweat just looking at it.
The combat power of these elite knights is not comparable to that of a ragtag group of pirates. Three hundred knights are enough to kill seven in and seven out among tens of thousands of pirates by relying on tactics.
If it weren't for a powerful weapon like the [Storm Hammer], he really wouldn't be able to defeat him!
The "battle formation method" is a secret that is not passed down by Lu Ying's major legions. These are the intangible capital accumulated by the major families in actual combat for thousands of years.
These can be used directly on the puppet army.
Legion battle formation is the most effective way to transform quantitative advantage into quality combat power!
After Su Lun harvested this knowledge, he immediately came up with the idea of ​​forming a golden heavy-armored puppet army.
He has a lot of third- and fourth-level puppets in his hands, as well as fifth- and sixth-level mechanical armors. If he can rely on these low-level combat powers to surround and kill top professionals, the combat power of the puppet army will be truly terrifying!
And that knowledge.
The Rodriguez family has very strict requirements for recruiting family knights, and all of them must be elites of the same rank.
Most of these noble knights have the experience of studying in major alchemy academies, and they have collected a lot of miscellaneous knowledge in one go.
This is the most satisfying harvest Su Lun has ever had.
.......
Su Lun was just thinking about it when the newsboy's cry came from downstairs.
He opened the window, threw down a few coins, and got back a few newspapers.
After looking through it, sure enough, I was on the front page of the newspaper again.
The headline of the "Queen's Metropolis Newspaper" is: The lawless madman "The God of Death" is causing trouble in London, murdering high-ranking nobles, and committing heinous crimes.
The headline of the "Lington Daily News" is: "The Grim Reaper" appeared in Queens, fighting with the major gangs in London, and broke into the scene where a member of the aristocracy brutally sucked the blood of a girl;
The financial backers behind several newspapers are different, and the tone of description is also different.
The Rodriguez family newspaper naturally condemned him, but they avoided mentioning anything about Augustus.
The Lance family's "Lingdon Daily News" published in detail the photos of the scene where Suellen took the scene in that alien space where August was deformed and sucked the blood of the girl.
August was anxious to save his life, so he let the gang kidnap a large number of young professional girls, which caused quite a stir.
Yesterday, Su Lun gave the surviving girls who were rescued to Sabina's people and handed them over to the Lance family.
Now that there are photos and survivors, I can imagine that the Rodriguez family will definitely have a headache.
Political opponents will not miss such a good opportunity, and the political situation in Linton will inevitably fluctuate greatly.
Su Lun didn't care about those things that he couldn't interfere with. He quickly flipped through all the newspapers and saw another piece of news that he was concerned about: the brutal murder of Jerome Offfast, the S-class wanted criminal "Judge of Hell".
Thousands of people are wanted throughout the city!
Although the black and white photo accompanying the picture was a bit blurry, Su Lun looked at the guy in the form of a flaming demon and immediately recognized it as an old cowboy.
However, it seems that he is not in the second death state when he left yesterday, but an even more exaggerated devil king.
I don’t know how many times I died like that.
Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief: "The old man is not dead yet."
After carefully reading the contents of the newspaper, he also learned that after the old cowboy helped him hold back the "punishment lawyer" Elmo yesterday, he returned to Parrot Street and killed almost all the gang members.
Then last night, before the newspaper was printed, they also ransacked the headquarters of the "Sun Slave Chamber of Commerce", "Narwhal Company" and several other large slave trading firms' headquarters.
Su Lun looked at the death list. Several big slave traders and arms dealers had been killed, which was why there was such a big commotion.
Only then did Su Lun understand why the old cowboy said, "Many people will die."
This kind of killing is probably related to his ability.
...
Su Lun read the newspaper and roughly understood the aftermath of yesterday's news.
Sabina didn't contact her, which meant there was nothing particularly important.
Only then did he take out the [Lilith's Vampire] ring.
There has just been a big commotion. I must avoid the limelight these days, so I might as well advance to the next level.
This rental house is also safe enough.
Three blocks away is the Library of Congress, where Mr. Black is.
If someone really needs to come to your door, there will be someone who can provide immediate support.
It was also the hiding place specially chosen by Su Lun.
After recovering for a night, I was in good condition. I evaluated the success rate of the fusion curse material and found it was 1.5 percentage points higher than yesterday.
This increase in probability is probably due to the digestion of that knowledge and a deeper understanding of the rules.
In addition, Dr. Banks's potion is the best, with a distortion probability of less than 8%, so it is totally worth a try.
Su Lun placed Master Crow on the balcony, put away the bed, made room, and began to arrange the advanced alchemy array.
The alchemy array required to advance to the sixth level is very complicated. Usually, fifth-level professionals who have reached this stage need to ask some master-level array masters to help arrange it.
But this is not difficult for Su Lun, and the materials have already been prepared.
The ultra-large high-purity crystal obtained from Haixu, the highest quality red copper purchased from Lingdun Alchemy Market, mithril, agate powder, and the blood of seventh-level monsters were used as a blending agent...
Everything is made from the best materials available, and there is almost no possibility of failure due to materials.
Not long after, he had already laid out the professional advanced seven-pointed star formation.
Then Su Lun stood naked in the center of the formation, put on the vampire ring, and chanted the ritual universal mantra of alchemy: "Follow the law of equal exchange of all things, praise the glory of the original creator, and use alchemy to
Witness the miracle of creation..."
For a moment, the alchemy array lit up.
...
The real shock caused by Su Lun's killing of August yesterday was far more violent than what was reported in the newspapers.
From last night to now, there has been an undercurrent surging in Linton, including the royal family, the Military Intelligence Department, the police station, and various large and small forces.
An unknown number of corpses sank into the Locovalen River overnight.
Rodriguez is still reeling from the chaos caused by the assassination of his ancestor; Young Master William of the Raigadi family is also investigating who the "big shot" is that obstructed the official action; Justice Raphael is busy eating away at the turbulent space.
Parliament seats, drafting a new arms bill; Military Intelligence and the Rington Police Station are busy chasing the murderer...
Just when all the forces in Linton were busy, Yekaterina had already taken a motorcycle to an inconspicuous villa in Nancheng.
After getting out of the car, she adjusted her black dress to see that there was nothing rude about it, and then she walked towards the house.
Without waiting for any entourage, Catherine stepped up the steps and rang the doorbell.
"Ding dong~"
The doorbell rang, and a middle-aged woman who looked like a housekeeper opened the door, made a greeting gesture, and said: "Oh, Miss Ekaterina, you are here. Please come inside. The master will be waiting for you on the second floor."
Where’s the chess piece?”
"Um."
Ekaterina nodded politely to the housekeeper, and then entered the room.
There were no other servants in the house, and the decoration was very ordinary. But the piles of books made people think that the owner of the house would be a very knowledgeable person.
Probably because the old man was afraid of the cold, firewood was burning and crackling in the fireplace during the day.
After walking a few steps, when Ekaterina stepped onto the stairs to the second floor, her expression suddenly changed, and she found that her mood fluctuated in a rare way.
Ever since I entered the Holy Realm, I have never had this kind of uncertain wandering thoughts.
The strange color subsided for a moment, and she calmly continued going upstairs.
When I went upstairs, I happened to look at the small table next to the bed. An old man with a gray beard was studying the endgame on the chessboard with great interest.
The strange color in Yekaterina's eyes disappeared.
She also didn't expect that this old man who had refused anyone to visit him for several years would actually agree to her request for a visit.
At the same time, the old man also looked over, with a kind smile in his wise eyes, and said, "Katyusha, come and play a round with the old man."
Hearing this greeting, Ekaterina seemed to have returned to the scene ten years ago, when the ignorant little girl came to visit with her father but messed up the old man's study.
She smiled and said: "Okay, Grandpa Pierre."
.......
The housekeeper brought tea,
Katyusha sat opposite the old man, and the two arranged the chess pieces and started playing chess.
On the black and white chessboard, the exquisite crystal chess pieces fell step by step, making a crisp sound.
Time is slow and peaceful.
An old man and a young man come and go.
Ekaterina played very seriously.
That pretty face was sometimes frowning in deep thought, sometimes happy, sometimes pouting over her bad move... just like an innocent little girl.
In front of this old man, she had no pretense.
After one round, there was another round.
Ekaterina did not show any impatience. She watched carefully and chatted with the old man about trivial matters.
But most of the time, she listened quietly while the old man spoke in a leisurely manner.
"My girl's chess skills are getting better and better... Not bad, not bad. She is sharp and has a long-term plan. Even though she is a woman, no one can match her chess skills."
"Grandpa, you thanked me."
"I saw that young man yesterday. Girl, you do have good taste."
"Katyusha didn't expect that you would help him."
"Haha, it's rare to meet a nice young man. Besides, if I don't help, he will be fine. It's just a favor."
"≧???≦."
"By the way, Katyusha, how is your grandma recently?"
"She... has passed away."
"Why haven't I heard you talk about it? Oh, my old friend only has these three or two. If she leaves, I should give her a ride no matter what."
"I'm sorry, grandpa and grandma went to Shanyin to see an old friend. The old family didn't want others to know, so they didn't tell anyone."
"Oh, that's it. Then I know who it is... I almost forgot that when she was in the academy, she was very close to a boy from a commoner family. At that time, many people in our academy were jealous of her.
Yeah. I didn’t expect that after so many years, she still hasn’t forgotten it.”
"Grandma went to Shanyin before. She said that the ones she couldn't let go of were her old friends in Lingdun. She originally said she would come to see you, but thinking that it would be the last time, she didn't want to come. She simply left.
It’s simple.”
"Well, that's her character."
"Ah... my grandma also told me some little secrets. She said, Grandpa Pierre, you fought a duel for her when you were young. And then, you got beaten."
"Hahaha, did she tell you all these embarrassing things about me? Oh, I remember it was more than eighty years ago, it seems to be the summer of 915 in the Lu Yingli year..."
"Oh, now that she's gone, the old man has even less to remember in this world. His friends around him are all leaving one after another, just like someone has taken away one care after another from your life.
In the end, it seemed like there was nothing worth remembering.”
"Girl, you don't mind me nagging an old man, do you?"
"No. Grandpa Pierre, do you want to know a secret?"
"Oh, tell me about it?"
"When I was a kid, I secretly read my grandma's diary. In her diary, she praised you for being handsome and elegant."
"Really? Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have been desperate."
"But, she said, she doesn't like you because you don't understand poetry. She also said that the world in your eyes is too high and cannot be touched."
"Hahaha..."
"..."
Smiling, there was a little sparkle in the old man's eyes.
Unknowingly, in those conversations, I looked back on my entire life.
Now that I think about it, what is still clear are the memories of those old friends.
While chatting, the old man suddenly started talking about something else and asked in a casual tone: "Girl, I remember ten years ago, in this study, you said you wanted to be a great poet. Now,
Do you still want to be a poet?"
Hearing this, Ekaterina thought about it seriously, and then responded: "Of course, the dream will not change. But... before that, I thought I would become a great emperor.
Woolen cloth."
The old man was not surprised when he heard the words that an outsider would definitely be frightened by. He raised his white eyebrows and said with interest: "Oh?"
Ekaterina tilted her head and thought for a moment, then continued: "Because of strong rights, a stronger empire can be created."
The old man saw something and smiled again: "But why are you wavering again?"
Ekaterina did not conceal her momentary excitement, saying: "It seemed like a sudden moment, I realized that no matter how powerful the empire was, it would collapse, and only the continuation of civilization would be truly meaningful. Even if the history of countless years later
Even if the dust covers it, it cannot erase the brilliant glory of civilization."
The old man's eyes flashed brightly and he smiled slightly.
Before entering the door, Ekaterina was still a little uneasy.
But now, she felt calm.
She didn't know why her thoughts changed.
The purpose has not changed, but the mood has changed.
But she seemed to hear the elders in front of her talking about some past events, and she seemed to see herself sitting here with gray hair many years later, playing chess with an unknown junior, chatting about her life.
At that time, if you look back for the rest of your life, what is the thing that you can remember?
The old man just said: The memories that are still clear are only those old friends.
After hearing the answer, a kind and satisfied smile appeared on Pierre's face. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Girl, before I die, I want to accept a disciple."
Having said this, he paused, then looked at Ekaterina and asked: "Are you willing to be my disciple?"
God Ekaterina seemed to have foreseen something. She stood up solemnly and bowed her hands in a master-disciple salute: "Teacher."
With this bow, Lu Ying's situation changed from now on.
Chapter completed!
