Mechanical Alchemist

Chijo's assassination of the boss of the "Naganoya Geisha Hall" in the pirate city will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

After all, it is one of the snakes in Pirate City.

That "ghost sword" Aki himself is not weak, not to mention he represents the country hidden in the mountains.

Su Lun also guessed that this was probably the reason why Qiantiao didn't want to get involved.

Even more complicated situations may be involved.

Su Lun learned a secret from stripping the soul of "One-Eyed" Shock: "Old Rune" is not from Shanyin, but a defector from Luying.

This is where the problem lies.

Why would an outsider become a person with more real power than the daimyo of Shanyin Country?

The most important cash flow channel, such as the geisha shop, is controlled by the old man's son, which makes people very puzzled. The hidden story in it is probably the reason why Geisha Koike is very shy about talking about it.

A sudden battle broke out in the geisha hall, and a large number of samurai from Shanyin country poured into the hall.

It's a pity that the battlefield shifted before people had time to swarm up.

The samurai searched everywhere, but couldn't find anyone, so naturally they could only let it go.

But after such a fuss, the tea ceremony and sword dance can't continue to watch.

The mother of the brothel, Sang, is also very understanding and exempts all customers from spending.

But Su Lun still gave Xiaochi the money he should have given as a tip.

The geisha in Shanyin Kingdom have good food and accommodation, but their fortunes are not very good.

Not long after, Xiaochi walked Su Lun out of the geisha hall on clogs.

The two said goodbye at the cherry blossom forest.

She looked at Su Lun, with a gentle smile on her face, and asked politely: "Sir, will you come again next time?"

Look at that demeanor, the sincerity, I am afraid that people can't bear to say "no".

Su Lun smiled and thought it would be nice to come and sit down when he had time in the future, so he responded, "Come again when I have a chance."

"Um."

Xiaochi nodded and didn't say any more.

Retention is for people to think about, not a burden, just right is the best.

She thought of something, and smiled, "Xiaochi has never met such a special person as Mr."

Su Lun couldn't detect any hypocrisy, and responded with a polite smile, "It's also very pleasant to get along with Miss Xiaochi."

Hearing this, Xiaochi showed a very happy smile on his face, bowed his knees and saluted, "Sir, this is the best compliment I've ever heard."

Seeing that Su Lun was about to leave, she pondered for a moment, her expression showed a bit of shyness again, and her tone became a little less smooth for the first time tonight, "If... Mister, if you want to stay overnight tonight, it's fine."

"Forget it today."

Su Lun raised his eyebrows and smiled, only then did he realize that the other party's ability to observe words and expressions really saw the difference in himself.

He wasn't just sitting around, but he didn't want to make it too special.

A little pirate, who is eligible to stay overnight in a geisha tube.

It's always good to be careful.

Hearing this, Xiaochi didn't say much, a look of regret flashed in his eyes, and he bowed to greet him: "Sir, go slowly."

Su Lun walked out of the geisha hall refreshed, as if he had taken a bath for his spirit, and washed away all the depression accumulated in the sea these days.

He walked the streets of Pirate City again.

The area of ​​the Walled City is very large, the streets are winding and deep, and the feasting and feasting of the casinos will take more than ten days and a half months to finish. There are also small islands and floating buildings around, each with its own characteristics. This is where the entertainment industry has grown to the extreme.

If you don’t see children looking for food in trash cans, skinny beggars in scanty clothes, and stinking corpses of pirates in the alleys. The bustling scene in Hastling, even Lu Ying’s most A prosperous territory is nothing more than that.

Su Lun walked unhurriedly in the city, he wanted to familiarize himself with the roads of the whole Walled City.

Thinking that in case of an emergency, you can be prepared.

I have also stripped some memories before, and walked again, and I am almost familiar with them.

About an hour later, I received thousands of communications.

The gambling-addicted young woman still didn't elaborate on what she was doing, but revealed her plan to go to the hidden country.

Su Lun guessed something, but she didn't say anything or ask more questions.

Just listen to her and she's fine.

After staying on the boat for a long time, Su Lun didn't feel sleepy, so Su Lun walked around the city for a while.

When I walked to the casino street, I also met the pirate accomplices on the same ship on the road.

Those guys also just came out of Fengyue Field for entertainment, and they still had some money in hand, so they planned to gamble.

Speaking of going to the arena, Su Lun followed suit.

The four countries of Beizhou have their own characteristics.

Just like the geisha hall is a feature of Shanyin country, the gladiator is a specialty of Roman country.

The aborigines of the Roman Kingdom are all warlike, both men and women.

They believed in the "God of War" and various ancient gods representing strength and bravery. The gene of fighting and fighting flows in the blood of everyone, and people are proud of fighting to the death in the arena. It is said that there are many stone carvings of combat skills left over from ancient times in that country. Even monkeys are proficient in various combat skills after observing them for a long time.

Because of this tradition, the Roman Empire is also the strongest gladiator training base, exporting a large number of gladiators. Even many slave merchants in the two empires sent people here for training.

Lolota and those around Qianjo were slave gladiators who were trained in the Roman arena and went to Luying to perform for the nobles.

Su Lun watched several gladiator matches, and also saw real gladiators.

Although the gods believed by Roman's god believers seem to have fallen, some mysterious power systems have been passed down. This also allows those gladiators to possess a physical strength comparable to that of a monster, even if they don't use the alchemy system.

A group of people stayed in the arena until midnight, winning and losing.

Those who win money go to the bathing place to spend the rest of the night happily; those who lose all money go back to the boat at the pier in despair and sleep in the cabin.

Su Lun's luck is neither good nor bad, and the wins and losses are not big.

After sitting on the boat for half a month, he didn't want to spend the night in the cramped and smelly cabin.

So I found a hotel in the city and had a good sleep.

The next day, the weather was fine.

Su Lun opened his eyes from meditation.

Outside the window of the hotel, you can see the scenery of Pirate City at a glance, the sea breeze is blowing gently, the island scenery is beautiful, and the blue waves are rippling, the scenery is really good.

But the Golden City during the day is like a beauty with the filter turned off. Although it is still beautiful, it does not have that radiant feeling after all.

Another unpretentious day as a pirate minion.

Rich pirates would spend the day sleeping in Gentle Township, or go to taverns to gamble for entertainment.

Pirates without money also sleep in the cabin for a day.

Su Lun was not idle. He left the hotel, changed his attire, and continued to wander around the city.

In the pirate city, there are many shops that only open during the day.

Now that Su Lun knew that a large number of Mafa mechanical equipment and old Lingdon items had flowed into the Pirate City, he planned to search in those boutique shops to see if he could find some.

Stop by to see if there are other good deals.

In the pirate city, there is never a shortage of good things.

Following the directions in his memory, Su Lun walked across several covered bridges, and then took a simple cableway to a stalagmite pirate next to the Golden City.

It is called "Colorful Conch City".

This is a bit like the underground black market in Old Lington. All the buildings are stilted buildings supported by some wooden sticks on the rock wall. The roof is colorful, like colorful mushrooms growing on the stone.

The black market that Su Lun went to yesterday was the bulk trading market, so this place is a bit like a flea market.

There are stalls and shops selling all kinds of weird things.

There are also boutique shops selling high-end alchemy items.

Most of the high-quality goods salvaged from the seabed, excavated from ruins, and looted are gathered in this market.

As long as you have money, you can always return with a full reward.

Most of the people who hang out in the pirate market during the day are professional businessmen among the pirates.

Not even pirates, but some gray area middlemen in Lu Ying.

Pirates seem to be disorderly bandits, but in fact, some pirate groups are secretly funded by Lu Ying's major forces. The spy group of the Luying royal family, the pirate group of the Chamber of Commerce to suppress competitors, and the adventure group funded by the nobles.

It is tacitly understood by everyone, so it has been going on for so many years, and the scale is still getting bigger and bigger.

The looted items will also flow back to Lu Ying through these gray channels.

Su Lun wandered from shop to shop, full of surprises.

Not only did he find some finished mechanical products, he even found a lot of laboratory-level research instruments!

Pirates are all takers, and they have almost no ability to engage in research and development. To them, these high-precision instruments are like scrap iron, and they are all commodities that eat ashes in the shop. Su Lun bought these real treasures that money can't buy at a very beautiful price.

Fortunately, it is not too late for him to return to the Pirate City. In another year or so, those things will most likely flow into the two empires.

But as soon as you buy something, the money is not enough.

Su Lun also sold all the batches of loot he had collected before. Although the price is a little lower, it is worth it to exchange some urgently needed things.

Su Lun walked around and came to a shop called "Three Torii".

This is a specialty shop in Shanyin Country, selling swords, samurai kai and some weird things.

The Qingyu doll hanging at the door dangled. Su Lun took a look and walked in.

The owner of the shop is a middle-aged man in a kimono. He has the typical kindness of the Shanyin people. When he sees the guests, he bows politely: "Welcome to the shop."

Su Lun nodded, looked at the merchandise displayed in the window,

Shanyin country produces famous knives, and most of the shops also display the swords in conspicuous places.

The middle-aged boss happened to be holding the long sword in his hand, and introduced: "Sir, do you want to buy a knife? This is [Three Generations Valley], and it is the work of Mr. Kurosawa, the master blacksmith. It is a rare good knife."

The blade is shining coldly, and the sharpness visible to the naked eye is indeed a good thing.

It's a pity that Su Lun is not a swordsman, this thing is of no use to him.

If it is used on a puppet, the poor quality is a bit tasteless, and the good one is too extravagant.

He thought of the "Ichishou of the Chrysanthemum Monument" he saw yesterday, and asked casually, "Are there any famous knives of the Twelve Good Craftsmen?"

The middle-aged boss laughed and said, "Sir, you are joking. Naturally, there is no such famous knife shop. It can be said that there is no shop of any kind."

He looked at Su Lun's expression that didn't look like he was joking, and said with a smile: "It seems that guests have high requirements for weapons. It's a pity, as far as I know, there are only four of the twelve famous knives in existence. It was in the hands of great swordsmen."

Su Lun shrugged noncommittally, thinking that if he could afford it, it would be nice to buy one and give away a thousand.

The young gambling addict took good care of herself, so it was appropriate to give her a gift.

The middle-aged man introduced other items in the store, "Sir, are you interested in looking at other items?"

This shop is more like an antique shop, there are many old things in the window.

The armor worn by General Yamagakushi Hattori when he died in battle; a sealed bottle of a black jar, which is said to be made by a priestess [Mouth Chewing Wine]; the [Great Tengu Mask] that is said to be able to summon monsters, and a talisman to evade all ghosts

The items are all good. Su Lun appraised them, and most of them have some special effects.

However, for Su Lun, it was of little use.

At this time, Su Lun saw some ancient documents in the corner of the shop, and asked again: "Are there any documents about monster legends?"

The middle-aged boss said: "Yes. When it comes to writing monster stories, the best one in the past century is the "Fairy Story" by the great writer Mr. Fujiwara Hayato. It just so happens that I have a few volumes of his manuscripts here. Let me show you?"

Su Lun nodded.

Monsters are rampant in Shanyin Country, which is different from monsters and aberrations, a very special existence.

He was really interested to know.

The middle-aged boss was rummaging through the shelves, but at this moment, a wind chime rang outside the door, and a few more customers came in.

The shop is open to welcome customers. It is normal to have customers.

But Su Lun frowned slightly when he sensed the aura of those people!

There were seven people in the group, five were left at the door, and two entered the room. They were all wearing alchemy cloaks and their faces could not be seen clearly.

This configuration, no matter how you look at it, looks like a big man traveling.

Moreover, in Su Lun's perception, the soul fires of these people were all illusory and unpredictable.

If it wasn't for the interference of high-level cursed objects, then it would be a very strong high-level professional.

No matter which one it is, it is not easy to provoke.

"Where do these people come from? If they are big pirates, there is absolutely no need to hide their heads and show their tails like this."

Su Lun muttered something in his heart, but he didn't show any abnormality, just like an ordinary customer, watching in front of the window.

"Boss, do you have Gustav's manuscript here?"

She spoke like an old lady, and her tone of voice was very kind.

The middle-aged boss asked suspiciously, "Gustav?"

The old lady said: "Maybe it's another name, called 'Fujiwara Hayato'."

The middle-aged boss suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Oh, of course there are. I just want to show it to the customer. The small shop probably collects the most manuscripts of Mr. Fujiwara."

Seeing those volumes of manuscripts, the old lady didn't ask the price at all, and said again: "If you don't mind, I want to buy them all."

The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed, looked at Su Lun, and asked, "Sir, what do you think? After all, you should read it first."

Su Lun glanced at him with a disinterested look on his face, "Of course I don't mind."

Those manuscripts are identified as [ordinary manuscripts], without any special effects, so there is no need to buy the original version.

For Su Lun, who just wanted to learn about the customs of Shanyin, a transcript would be enough.

Moreover, the things of this great writer are really expensive, almost catching up with [Isaac's Alchemy Manuscript].

After hearing the price, Su Lun would definitely not waste this money.

But the old lady didn't bargain at all, and spent nearly 10 million lisos proudly to buy those manuscripts.

The group bought something, asked a few more questions about the great writer "Hayato Fujiwara", and left without finding anything else.

The shop became deserted again.

Several people came suddenly and left suddenly.

Su Lun was still in front of the counter, muttering to himself: "Did you buy it for collection? It seems to be a great nobleman."

Some people can hear her self-cultivation just from the tone of her voice.

Although the old lady didn't talk much just now, Su Lun could tell that this person's background was definitely not simple. What's more, pirates don't seem to be in a hurry to spend such a large sum of money to buy a few manuscripts.

Moreover, Su Lun didn't know if it was an illusion. When those people left just now, the accompanying person next to the old lady seemed to look at him more?

Su Lun spent most of the day shopping in Conch City, and had a good harvest.

He returned to the Golden Walled City again. With good luck, the materials ordered at "A Tang's Magic Material Shop" last night were all prepared in advance.

After paying the final payment, the materials to fill more than a dozen storage rings are in hand.

Su Lun originally wanted to take the materials back to the hotel to make a new puppet, but it was still early in the world, and happened to pass by another shop that had an impression in his memory.

It was a small house with a sign of "Sea God's Divination Shop".

There lived a witch who knew divination and was also one of the most well-informed intelligence merchants in Pirate City.

Su Lun lifted the curtain of magic isolation and walked in.

The magic lamp was gray and dim, and one could see a dark-skinned woman who was fiddling with tarot cards and divination with chess and cards. There are some fish scales on her face, which is said to be a hybrid of human and murloc.

The pirates called her "Black Beauty" Amaryllis.

As soon as Su Lun entered, she muttered, "The divination tells me that there will be a very special guest today."

Su Lun didn't listen. This is a professional term, and it's like this for everyone.

He said directly: "I need to inquire about some news."

Amaris knew that someone who was knowledgeable was coming, and she didn't continue her tricks of deceiving people.

"Have you ever heard of 'Cyclops'?"

"I want to inquire about a kind of Holy Grail, which is spread from the sub-human tribe."

"Have you heard of the Pirate King 'Black Sam's Cursed Gold Coin'?"

"I want to find some advanced space materials, do you have any recommendations?"

"."

Su Lun told all the news he wanted to know, and it wasn't any sensitive information.

Originally, I thought about casting a wide net, so it didn't matter if I could find out.

But I didn't expect, this black beauty really knows a lot!

Amaris said directly: "In the legend of our sea clan, there are cyclops on a certain island in the depths of the Western Sea. However, there is no place where humans can set foot. Only great adventurers who are not afraid of wind and waves are able to live together." Get a glimpse of the true face of that mythical race. As for 'Black Sam's Cursed Gold Coin', I think you may have to ask someone, who happens to have one in his hand. As for space materials, I heard that someone in the black market has a supply .If necessary, I can ask for you, but the price may be a bit high."

As Su Lun listened, the joy in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

Sure enough, professional things have to be handed over to professional people!

These intelligence merchants hold a lot of surprising information in their hands.

Even the official Lu Ying has a "rat warehouse" selling military supplies, let alone pirates? As long as it is profitable, no matter how secret the "space breeding equipment" is, someone will definitely resell it!

Before Su Lun came to the Pirate City, he guessed that there would be information about "Void Breeding Equipment" here.

When I asked, it really did.

After some conversation, Su Lun spent 200,000 yuan to get the desired news from the black beauty.

As for the Void Growth Equipment, after hearing the exaggerated quotation, he didn't ask any more.

Now that there is news coming out, the news will become less and less valuable.

Now that he has joined the North Sea Fleet, there is no rush.

Pirate City said big, big.

But it's small, and it's small.

For example, there are only a few big markets for selling materials.

It was also a coincidence, when Su Lun was still inquiring about news in the divination shop, suddenly there was the sound of fighting in the black market.

It wasn't normal for pirates to fight before, but this time when Su Lun went out to watch the excitement, he found that the fighting party had seen it before.

The guy with the broken arm was the "Beast" Alec Barrett, the head of the Luying Holy Judgment Legion that he had seen in the Cursed Valley before!

"Why did this guy come to Pirate City?"

Su Lun was also surprised when he saw the scratches on Barrett's military rank.

That's a sign of defection.
