Chapter 296： mystic scientist from old lington

Although Su Lun knew the situation of this sea area before, he was still shocked by the power of nature in front of him.

The "Devil Sea" can be used as a natural barrier for the pirate city, and it is naturally extremely dangerous. Every year, dozens of ships are buried here due to improper handling. The largest sea spin here is a thousand meters in diameter, and there are various reefs. Even a medium-sized warship such as the "Bald Eagle" sails in it, and it is shaking.

Fortunately, the navigators on board were very experienced, and the fleet passed by without a hitch.

The fleet sailed through the swirling sea area, and suddenly it was calm.

Sunlight filtered through the thick dark clouds like bundles of golden ribbons, illuminating a spectacular scene.

"Hahaha... we're in Hastelling!"

The people on the boat cheered. .

Su Lun looked at the large complex of buildings with a unique style in front of him, and his eyes were full of brilliance.

The sea area of ​​Pirate City has ocean currents and warm winds from the northwest. The climate in the northern frigid zone has suddenly become a subtropical climate, with a pleasant temperature. There are also large tracts of green vegetation growing on those islands, and the scenery is excellent.

The sea is also dotted with various islands.

Those islands have a very special shape, like huge stalagmites erected one by one. The roofs are painted in various colors, and wooden stilts like colorful mushrooms are built on those stalagmites. There are also huge animal skin floating airships floating in the sky. The airships are connected to wooden buildings, and various neon signboards are hung. There is an antique-level steam train on the sea, making a "woo woo" sound, dragging a long white steam tail to shuttle between the islands. Like a fairy tale world.

The most exaggerated is the wooden water village buildings with the highest 30-story building in the farthest.

Su Lun didn't know how the people here used wood to build such exaggerated buildings.

It was almost evening when their fleet arrived, the fleet was slowly approaching, and the sky had already darkened.

About two or three nautical miles from the city, lights suddenly lit up in the tall buildings in the distance.

Immediately, a shocking scene appeared in front of him.

The row upon row of wooden buildings exudes a dazzling orange light under the light, and the whole water village is like pouring gold, shining brightly. The lights are reflected in the dark blue sea water, as if there is also a city of gold in the water. Looking up, both the sea and the sky are blue, and the eyes are brightly squinted, making it difficult to distinguish where the reflection is and where the real building is.

"The thirty-three-story golden building is connected to the yellow spring and the sky..."

Su Lun squinted at the "Golden City that never sleeps" in the distance, thinking of the legend about the pirate city.

Looking at it now, it really lives up to its reputation.

This is definitely the most refreshing architectural wonder that Su Lun has ever seen in this world.

......

Pirate City has existed for over a thousand years.

In addition to pirates, there are tens of millions of indigenous people here.

They are the descendants of exiles, retired pirates, fishermen, prisoners, and believers of the Four Kingdoms of the Northern Continent. The fish and dragons are mixed here, and even the people in the fleet under the king of the North Sea do not dare to be too presumptuous.

But the North Sea King's fleet still has some cards.

It wasn't long before Su Lun and the others formed the Ninth Fleet and were warmly welcomed by the merchants in the Golden City.

As soon as they entered the port, all kinds of brokers and pimps rushed up on the dock, greeting them warmly.

"Ouch, uncle, there will be a large-scale performance at the 'Sun City Baths' tonight, will this little one take you there?"

"Sir, a group of performers from the Royal Luying City Royal Song and Dance Troupe came to the 'Silver Knight Casino'. Oh, that's a beautiful dance that only real nobles can enjoy!"

"We'll have a gladiatorial match between Tier 5 professionals and the Kraken tonight in our 'Spartan Arena'. There are big bosses who open unlimited bankers, and there are uncles who like to gamble. You are satisfied."

"..."

It's a pirate city after all.

There is Lu Ying's most developed entertainment industry here, and he is full of money and money.

Pirates take their lives to loot, and naturally they come here for consumption. They will also not be stingy with the coins in their pockets, willing to be wiped out in gambling stalls and customs halls.

After disembarking, the captain of the fleet, "Admiral Gluttonous" Peyong, did not join a few squad leaders and the group of new recruits under his command. After sending some money, he entered the city.

Because it is a reorganized new group, everyone is not too familiar with each other, and there is no friendship and loyalty to speak of.

The captain of the 15th division where Su Lun was in didn't plan to take his "brothers" to spend. He divided the money and said, "The piers are the cheapest, and the best girls are always in the city. You can go when you have nothing to do. Go for a walk and open your eyes. Don't forget to bring your communicator, the boss said, there may be big moves in the next few days..."

"Yes, Captain!"

Everyone was on the boat for a small half-moon, and they had long been suffocated.

After taking the money, they entered the city gates one by one.

The treatment of the North Sea Fleet is really good.

The captain of the fleet waved his hand, and the grassroots member Su Lun received more than 10,000 yuan. In addition to the previous 50,000 settling expenses, it was enough to spend some time in the city.

Being drunk with money and having fun in time is the reason why many people choose to be pirates.

Su Lun had something to do and didn't plan to hang out with those people.

But at this time, someone patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Jonny, what are your plans?"

Turning his head, he saw a young man with yellow hair.

This is the gunner in the same cabin I met recently playing cards, called Sharp.

Mind is not bad.

This guy was not a pirate originally, but a city defense gunner of Blizzard City. Joining the Beihai Fleet is purely because the family is too poor to open the fire, and the old mother who is seriously ill. After seeing that Anjiawei emergency, here comes.

Su Lun thought about it and responded, "I'm going to visit the Geisha House."

When Sharp heard it, he was a little boring: "Hey, don't listen to Martin's bragging. I've heard people say before that geisha's stuff costs money, so you can only get enough of your eyes and can't eat meat. That's it. It is a place for the rich and big people to spend time. We have enough money to go and have a few cups of tea. If you really want to play with girls, it would be good to go to the Customs Museum. I heard that there has been a batch of wars in the Pirate City recently. Slave, your skin is as smooth as soap, let's try it together?"

Su Lun smiled and shook his head: "Forget it. After all, I haven't seen it before. I want to find a cheap one to see what the legendary geisha is like, and gain insight."

"That's up to you."

Hearing this, Sharp waved his hand with a dull look on his face, and quickly followed the previous few people: "Then there is something to contact with the communicator."

"Ok"

Su Lun smiled and nodded, and entered the city alone.

......

Entering the Golden City, the space here is extremely three-dimensional and complex, a bit like the old Lingdun, with densely packed buildings everywhere. It looks like a city, but going across the border is like entering a forest of wooden buildings. The streets are very narrow, and all kinds of cobweb-like pipes and bridges look up.

Most are wooden buildings, but there are also some steel buildings and steam pipes. The architectural style is also very mixed. It is not the Gothic architecture of Lu Ying's mainstream, but all kinds of strange styles, as if hundreds of civilizations are mixed together.

The most striking thing is the pedestrians on the street.

Pirates like Su Lun can be recognized at a glance by looking at their outfits.

The costumes of the aborigines are all kinds, ronin, monks, nuns, missionaries, Spartans, wrestlers, adventurers... all kinds of costumes, and all kinds of skin colors.

And many aboriginals have strong beliefs in their attire.

There are almost only alchemists in Lu Ying, but here, Su Lun saw all kinds of **** followers.

"One hundred and eight thousand gods, so many beliefs are actually mixed in a pile..."

Su Lun felt a little weird.

Moreover, he walked all the way, and the fire of some people's souls in his perception was very strange. Among those **** believers, there are many strange guys.

Su Lun looked at them, and those passers-by would look at him with cautious but dangerous eyes, and when they saw the sign of the North Sea Fleet, they would be more restrained.

The identity of a pirate is something ordinary people avoid elsewhere, but here, it is ordinary people.

This is the "City of Sin", where the crime rate remains high. A random passerby on the street is a vicious criminal, but no one is accustomed to anyone, and if they disagree, their lives are in danger. But usually, everyone knows this, so they restrain each other. There are many assassinations in the city, but there are few open-face fights.

Su Lun has harvested many memories of pirate ships before, so he is not unfamiliar with the streets here.

He plans to go to the alchemy material store to find goods, and then go to the geisha shop in the city.

He wanted to go to a geisha show, but he wasn't really interested in that form of entertainment.

But because geisha is the official business of the country of Yamagata.

Su Lun came to Pirate City to understand the lineage of Rune Warlocks is one of the most important purposes. That "rune old man" is in the country of hidden mountains.

Moreover, he is indeed very interested in that almost isolated civilization now.

Before Su Lun was very puzzled, Qianjo's kimono and kendo were not the same as mainstream alchemists. It was later learned that the old Lington was filled by slaves from all over the world. But Qianjo couldn't tell the origin of those things, many of them were inherited from the family.

But the problem is that if there is inheritance, there must be a source.

Lu Ying has never heard of the habit of wearing a kimono in all the territories.

Now that he came to Pirate City and saw those ronin and geisha, Su Lun realized that Qianjo's ancestor was most likely from the country of mountains.

If you really want to go there, it is always right to know more about it in advance.

Suren used the communicator to contact Qiantiao.

The gambling-addicted young woman has been in Pirate City for some time.

According to herself, after she came here, she also had an inexplicable sense of belonging and was investigating something.

Now she seems to be in a little trouble, and she didn't say where she was, and didn't plan to meet first.

Su Lun hung up the communicator, felt that no one was paying attention, changed his body, and changed into an inconspicuous adventurer's attire.

......

The sky has completely darkened, and the lights in the pirate city are brighter and more lively.

The most lively part of Pirate City is the entertainment industry. There are various neon signboards in red, green and pink. These gold-selling caves also occupy the best positions in the city.

Pirates also have a place to ship goods, at the bottom of the stockade.

Dim, damp, and all kinds of goblins coveting tourists' belongings.

The thief-eyed half-eldest boy can tell at a glance who is coming to Pirate City for the first time, and he will take special care of him.

The memories of Su Lun's harvest are not too detailed. After a few laps in this maze-like water village, he found the alchemy material market.

It was a "city-in-the-city river" that was like a sewer-like flow of sewage. The densely packed boats in the river stopped in front of the shops, laden with bales of cargo unloaded from the port. Some guys who hide their faces and hide their faces go in and out of the shops.

Because it is a black market, there are no fancy signs like the regular territories in other places.

It is normal for pirates to be black and black, so for safety, pirates usually have their own familiar shops selling goods.

Su Lun walked into a small shop. In his harvesting memory, it was "Sister A Tang's Magic Materials Shop". The price of receiving and selling goods was fairly reasonable, and he generally did not cheat acquaintances.

He went straight in.

The space in the house is not spacious. It is a store and a warehouse. The limited space is filled with various materials.

Behind the counter is an old woman who looks like a witch, holding a crystal ball.

When a guest came in, she didn't open her eyes.

Beside him, a middle-aged man with tattoos all over his face was working on the ledger, looking like an old woman's son.

The copper bell at the door rang, and he glanced indifferently.

Su Lun glanced at them. The two were obviously believers of gods, but they didn't know what gods they believed in. Their soul perception was a bit gloomy, like a black magician. He didn't look at it, he knocked on the table, and then said: "Wandering in the shadow of the grave, blood gives mortals fear."

A slang word among pirates, indicating understanding.

The content of this sentence seems to be related to the beliefs of the two shop owners.

Hearing this, the tattooed man also knew that he was a regular customer, and finally raised his eyebrows, "What do you need?"

"I need some materials."

Su Lun said, took out a list, which was filled with dense materials.

The God of Plague glanced at it and skillfully revealed the price: "Pink lizard bone marrow 800 per gram, devil mushroom 3000, amethyst with purity Ⅷ 150,000, three-tailed sea snake eye pair 200,000, white phosphorus whale oil..."

"no problem."

Hearing the quotation, Su Lun decided at once, and said, "The quantity of materials will be according to my list."

This is already a price that he is very satisfied with.

If you go elsewhere, to buy these materials, it will cost at least several times the price.

And not necessarily available.

That's the good thing about Pirate City.

The stolen goods from the robbery will be much lower than that of Lu Ying's regular business, with an average of 45% off. Not only are some rare gold and dark gold-level materials not expensive, but they are surprisingly cheap, even at a discount of one or two percent off the market price.

After all, the pirates' cultivation techniques and equipment are very common, and not many can use advanced materials.

Here Su Lun bought alchemy materials that he had never been able to buy before.

With this batch of goods, he can make more advanced puppets.

The tattooed man said in a deep voice: "You need to prepare some of the materials you want. Pay the deposit first, and come back tomorrow to pick up the goods."

"Okay, everything follows the rules."

Suren took out a million deposit without hesitation.

He knew that his batch of goods was very miscellaneous, and it was impossible for normal shops to have all of them in stock. But these black market merchants will borrow goods from each other, and as long as there are some in the pirate city, they can find it.

This also saves Su Lun the trouble of looking around in stores.

After paying the money, he casually asked again: "Is there any good stuff? Cursed objects, mechanical equipment or something..."

Su Lun was not in vain when he was in the Nineteenth Fleet. Recently, he heard inside information that the Marfa Empire had indeed funded a lot of cutting-edge machinery and equipment for Oleg. Not to mention the Void Colony.

Since it is a large-scale outflow, there may be some outflows from the black market.

Moreover, the pirates have a lot of good goods from robbery, and maybe they can really pick them up.

Seeing that Su Lun understood the rules very well, the tattooed man didn't hesitate, and his hand touched the glass showcase.

The dark lacquered cabinet before suddenly became transparent.

Su Lun's eyes fell, and he saw a bunch of small boutiques, a flag, a team of wrist guards, a compass, a quill, some small objects...

He has the eye of omniscience, so naturally he needs no introduction.

[Columbus's Nautical Flag] affects wind circulation and increases speed; [Armitage's Magic Weave Bracers (Silver)], injects energy to provide shield defense; [Damaged Compass] is useless...

There are good and bad things, but they are all alchemy objects that work well.

It's a pity that it's useless to Su Lun, "Hey, I need real good stuff."

Looking at his frown, the tattooed man was once again identical, and the glass flashed, and the contents inside changed again, and they were all mechanical parts.

A broken robotic arm, a 70% new steam-powered boiler, a broken steel plate with the TTR logo, and some small parts...

When Su Lun saw it, he just asked casually to try his luck, but he actually found something good!

In the window, he saw the remains of some Mafa mechanical armor!

And that steel plate is also the top-secret "Aardman Alloy" of Marfa!

The stuff is good stuff, but it's just a little less.

It's not enough to be a puppet.

"How much are these in total?"

"Seven hundred thousand."

"I can give at most forty."

"Fifty."

"make a deal!"

Suren got those mechanical parts.

Then the tattooed man changed another batch, and Su Lun suddenly sighed in his heart. Only then did he realize that those mechanical accessories with unique styles were actually produced by Old Lingdon!

[Frost Giant Mechanical Armor], some exoskeletons, neuromechanical parts...

The tattooed man introduced: "This is a good batch of goods from the North Sea Fleet..."

Suren knew where these things came from.

Previously, Oleg's Fourth Fleet plundered Old Lingdon and brought out a large number of underground machines. In that batch of goods, there are also many good things with superior technology.

He didn't behave too abnormally, and jumped a few things to his satisfaction.

Su Lun felt that he really came to Pirate City this time, and he gained a lot of good things at the beginning.

He is still shopping for goods, and wants to escape all the mechanical equipment, drawings, and materials that he is interested in in this shop.

But he was scouring, and suddenly his heart froze.

In the perception, a very special soul fire appeared not far away!

He sensed the "suspicious person" beside "Butcher" Banner!

......

"Okay, that's all."

Su Lun didn't stay in the shop any longer, paid the money, took the things, and walked out of the shop in a hurry.

Banner was in the Fourth Fleet, and their fleet had to leave Blizzard City two days earlier, so it was not surprising to meet them in Pirate City.

The "suspicious person" also seemed to be here to select materials, and spent some time in a shop not far from the next door.

Su Lun intends to follow, not necessarily to find out at once, but also wants to touch the bottom of that guy.

Most of the people shopping in the black market are dressed in capes and trench coats, and Su Lun is not afraid of being recognized. His intuitive tracking skills are very good, and it is impossible to be easily discovered.

After a while, the "suspicious person" seemed to have bought the materials, walked out of a shop, and seemed to be planning to go up the city.

"It came alone..."

Su Lun observed for a moment, but did not find anyone else beside this guy.

Not only was he careless, but he was alert in his heart.

If this guy is really what he guessed, it is the "mysterious mechanic" who transformed Banner's mechanical body.

Then Banner should focus on protection.

Now he comes alone, either to keep his whereabouts secret or to have the strength to protect himself.

"It's getting more and more curious..."

Su Lun's whereabouts muttered.

Watching the man turn into the box, he thought for a moment and followed.

But he didn't follow that far, and he immediately realized something: "As expected, it was discovered..."

........

Su Lun could perceive the fire of the soul, so he easily caught the other party's abnormal counter-reconnaissance action.

But he also pretended not to notice and continued to follow.

When he thought about it, this mysterious man was probably from Old Lington.

If so, the opponent's strength has roughly a range.

Under normal circumstances, the mirror organization is already the strongest.

This mysterious man is hardly higher than them.

Even if found, the problem is not big.

With his current strength, Su Lun wanted to leave, but fifth-order professionals might not be able to stop him.

No, just walked into the alley.

The mysterious man appeared ghostly behind Su Lun.

Before Su Lun could speak, the other party immediately asked You smell like 'X serum', who are you? "

Su Lun was shocked when he heard this.

But at the same time, I captured a key word and understood how I was exposed.

"Smell talent?"

If you can smell the medicine by smell, and know that "X medicine", 99% of it is from Old Lingdun.

He instantly thought of a person.

A friend who used to be in the dungeon, Apothecary Danny!

Su Lun rolled his eyes, and there was a possibility that he thought was very bizarre, but he also confirmed: "Who are you from Danny Banks?"

"..."

Hearing this, the mysterious man on the opposite side was startled.

Obviously, he was also extremely surprised that Su Lun would ask this.
