Chapter 373： 【Heart of a Puppet】

Genius to remember the address of this site in one second: []https://The fastest update! No ads!

In just ten minutes, Su Lun harvested two top treasures [Cronus' Bow of Curse of Time] and [War God Tyr's Golden Spear of Karma].

But instead of feeling lucky in his heart, he felt that things were going in a very bad direction.

Originally, according to his plan, even if Barrett was rescued, the problem was not too big.

Magic marks or something has no effect at all in the "Little Void World".

Two planes apart, how could it be so easy to be traced.

What Su Lun thought before was to find a place to hide first, and it would probably be safe after the movement.

After all, this is Roman Kingdom. No matter how many secret spies of Lu Ying's military intelligence department, it is impossible to find him in the city.

Even if the people from the North Sea Fleet asked Barrett to inquire about the news of the vanishing fleet, it would be more accurate to use special means to target those in the "Holy Judgment Legion". And he would never suspect Su Lun, an "outsider".

But now the situation is more troublesome.

Su Lun did not know why a golden spear fell from the sky to kill him.

And now the spear is also included in the small void world.

The situation suddenly became subtle.

It has been identified just now that this golden spear is the Roman "treasure of the town" that is treasured by the Temple of Agapanon.

The serious relationship that this thing involves is going to be a big deal.

Su Lun happened to have heard the legend of the [Golden Spear]... This is the belief of the Romans.

Outsiders took it, almost the enemy of the entire Roman.

But if he didn't accept it just now, he would be killed by a spear again.

At this point, while Su Lun was running around the city, doubts appeared in his mind at the same time.

Who threw this spear?

Is it to catch up with Barrett?

Suren thought it was possible, but not much.

It would be almost impossible if someone could actually cross a plane to divination into Barrett in his own small void. That may require seventh-order, eighth-order, or even ninth-order prophets?

Obviously a Barrett is not worth the high price.

On the contrary, there is a possibility that this golden spear was originally aimed at Su Lun himself?

The identity of the person who can use this golden spear is definitely not simple.

Possibly some "big man" in the Temple of Agapanon.

Su Lun was very puzzled again, he had no conflict with the temple, why did he kill him?

......

There are several big troubles in the Small Void Realm, whether it is Barrett or two weapons, now it is obvious that there is no light.

Su Lun seemed to be carrying a few time bombs on his back, hiding in the city with an uneasy mood.

Fortunately, the dead bird has been very quiet, and nothing evil has happened.

But suddenly, a low horn sounded in the huge city-state of Moros.

"Om..."

Like an air defense alarm, the sound woke up the entire city.

"Hey~"

"Hey~"

"Hey~"

"..."

Then there was another series of explosions, and the flares went into the air.

It was dark midnight, but those flares lit the sky like day, illuminating the sneaky people on the street.

At the same time, the Roman army barracks, the security camp, the Beihai Fleet station in the city, the major official forces sounded the rallying horn, and countless soldiers wore armor and spears and poured into the streets and alleys.

The previous battle was just the rioting of those outsiders from the Camping Military Intelligence Service, but now the Romans are doing it themselves.

Su Lun looked at this movement, not only was not shocked, but secretly relieved.

The flares brightened his dignified face. He looked at the sky and murmured, "The large-scale search has begun..."

Using manpower to search means that those guys in the temple have no mysterious means to locate themselves!

"It seems to be safe for now..."

Su Lun exhaled a long breath, and a flash of radiance flashed in his eyes.

He has seen various divination techniques, and now he has a clear understanding of the principles of divination.

The higher the level of the divination target, the more cause and effect involved, and the more complex the environment, the higher the cost of divination.

He, Su Lun, was not a second-order rookie when he just came out of Old Lington. Anyone can divination.

He has now advanced to the fourth level, and he has so many treasures, it is almost impossible to rely on human divination. It is estimated that if the fortune-tellers below the sixth rank want to gain an accurate insight into his position, it is estimated that they will have to die on the spot.

Without the Golden Spear, which has a special causal ability, it is unlikely that the opponent wants to lock his position.

Thinking of this, Su Lun was glad that he had put the golden spear in just now.

This level of treasure, the entire Roman may not be able to take out the second piece.

Once caught off guard, the opponent also lost the first move.

"Even the mysterious high priest of the Temple of Agapnon could at best predict that I was in the city... Now that I go out of the city, I will be noticed instead."

Su Lun quickly analyzed all the known conditions in his mind, and this dispelled the decision to venture out of the city just now.

......

Su Lun had considered a comprehensive plan before, how to escape in case of a search.

Hotels, inns, baths, Fengyuechang, taverns... These places where outsiders gather together are definitely the targets of key searches.

Su Lun did not dare to go, but went directly to the slum.

There are mixed shanty towns, where hundreds of thousands of people from the bottom are piled up.

The situation in the city is getting more and more chaotic, the army, local snakes, pirates... all forces under the king of the North Sea are active.

The square city gate and various main roads have been completely blocked, and no one can move on the bright side.

But this is good news for Su Lun.

It's not just him who can't be caught. There are people from all walks of life in Moros city-state now, especially the few forces that want to assassinate the "Princess Frostmoon".

After all, not everyone knew that it was the people from the Temple of Agapanon looking for them to lose the [Golden Spear].

When they were searched, the assassins must have thought that they had been discovered, and battle was inevitable.

The city-wide search was like blowing up a fish pond, and those big fish hidden in the dark were also blown up.

Even after the city was closed, fighting broke out everywhere in the city.

......

But obviously, the [Golden Spear] is a big deal, and the determination of the Agapnon Temple to find the treasure of faith exceeded expectations.

Even the priestesses of the temple in their robes and veils were present in the city themselves.

With their call, the Romans of the whole city acted.

Romans were born warriors, and civilians took up arms and immediately became guards in search.

Those people also thought of complex civilian areas, and more and more people were involved in the manhunt.

Suren infiltrated the civilian shantytown, but was also trapped there.

The main road outside was already crowded with Roman soldiers.

Suren scurried through the alley quickly.

The urgent warning sound from the loudspeaker echoed in his ears.

"A thief stole the [Golden Spear] and defiled our sacred Temple of God of War..."

"Emergency martial law! The whole city is under curfew! Irrelevant persons, return to their residences immediately!"

"The high priest has ordered all Romans to stay at home and cooperate with the search. If you encounter strange and suspicious people, report them immediately!"

"..."

As soon as these words came out, the Romans in the city were excited.

Insulting the faith, this is more serious than anything, one by one shouting to catch the "thief".

Su Lun's eyes twitched as he listened, and his previous affection for Roman was gone.

steal?

You can't figure it out secretly, so it's a steal?

Looking at the simple belief system, it turns out that it is only the means of the superior.

However, Su Lun also wanted to understand something.

The priests of the Temple of Agapnon would have unconditional obedience from the Romans, but now they used deceit.

That is to say, the fact that someone in the temple throws a spear is not to be seen.

Otherwise, there is no need to hide it.

......

The whole city was raided, and Su Lun's situation was not optimistic.

He didn't expect that the movement would be so loud.

Looking at this situation, it will not end at all unless it is turned upside down.

There were obviously capable people among those guys. The army dispatched immediately surrounded the slum area, then divided the complex shanty town into dozens of pieces, and then knocked on the door from house to house.

No one from the Romans would not cooperate.

If you don't cooperate, there must be a ghost in your heart.

Suren's original plans had to be changed too.

Even if he wears a human-skin mask to disguise himself as a Roman, he, a solitary man with no family or friends, is the focus of attention. Origin, neighbors, residence time...it's easy to reveal when you ask.

And to make matters worse, several hiding places that he had been optimistic about in advance were blocked by the Roman army before he had time to go.

Because of the shared vision of the black crow and the perception of the rune umbrella, he avoided several calls in a thrilling manner, but the situation was getting worse and worse.

At this moment, Su Lun was hiding in a dark alley, and his way was blocked again.

It is not difficult to kill these people, but once exposed, it will be troublesome later.

Looking at the interrogation scene in the distance, he was very solemn: "This is bad... There is no 'family' and 'acquaintances', so he will definitely be questioned. The other party seems to be focusing on investigating people who have entered the city in the past few days. people."

Su Lun looked up and looked around. There were more and more people eating melons, and the probability of hiding and not being discovered was getting smaller and smaller.

Just when he was thinking that he had a better chance of breaking through in that direction, he suddenly saw a human head appearing on the second floor of a residential building not far away. She looked at Su Lun and greeted in a questioning tone, "Sir?"

Su Lun looked up and saw that the person he knew was actually the girl with big braids who bought puppets at the flea market last time. She seemed to be called Karma.

I didn't think she actually lived here.

Just looking at this, Karma obviously guessed that her own person recognized the right person. There was a hint of hesitation on her face, as if she had decided something, and then she greeted: "Sir, come here quickly!"

Su Lun didn't know how she recognized herself, but after thinking for a moment, a teleportation appeared in the room in that building.

......

The whole city is under curfew, and they are still roaming the streets. They must be outsiders without permanent residence.

As soon as Su Lun entered the room, he watched Kama take out a half-meter-long black rune puppet from the storage ring.

At first glance, it is a treasure.

【Substitute puppet】

Detailed explanation: This is an antique puppet that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is engraved with 'Robert Boyle's system'; after the blood is dripped, the puppet can be replaced by the host to transfer all the causes and effects of the recent period of contamination, so as to avoid being tracked by mysterious means;

"..."

Su Lun was also surprised.

Because he knows how to refine this kind of [substitute puppet], but the materials needed for that kind of transport are very hard to find, and he has never seen it so far.

Did not expect to meet here.

And looking at the maker's name above, it was made by his "senior brother" himself.

This Karma actually took out all her ancestral puppets?

Su Lun gave her a surprised look: "For me?"

He also immediately understood that the other party guessed it, and now it is him who is being hunted in the city!

How did Karma find out, and recognize it so coincidentally?

While speaking, Su Lun's eyes also showed caution. The other party took out this puppet, and he must have guessed something.

"You're welcome if you feel the need."

Kama is obviously very smart, she looked at Su Lun's subtle expression and naturally guessed his doubts.

Wanted by the city, recognized by anyone, anyone would be alert.

She used honorifics and added: "Don't get me wrong, I just feel that you need it. My talent is [B-098-Sixth Sense]. I took the liberty to call you just now, and I also felt like... It's you."

It was this talent.

Su Lun was also surprised when he heard it, and then he took over the puppet.

"Thank you. This is a very precious treasure."

He thanked him, and without any delay, cut a small incision with silk thread and smeared the blood on the puppet.

Originally, he would not accept treasures of this level from strangers for no reason, but now the situation forced him to be polite and had to use them.

The blood was smeared, and a flash of light flashed on the puppet.

Karma responded, "You're welcome. My father always taught me that a treasure is valuable because it's used in the right place."

She looked at everything in her eyes, and the thought in her heart confirmed something more: to know how to use this puppet, it must be a descendant of her line of puppet masters.

She also instantly felt that the treasure was entrusted to the right person, and said, "You can throw it in the fireplace."

"Um."

Sullen nodded, and threw the blood-stained golem into the burning fireplace, and heaved a sigh of relief.

The puppet burned, and this time, no one will trace it through some of the causes and effects created tonight.

Now even if he is caught, he is not afraid.

......

People's family treasures must know the value, Su Lun did not intend to take advantage of others, and said directly: "The [substitute puppet] just now is very precious, what do you want in exchange."

Kama heard Su Lun say the name of the puppet, shook her head and said, "Sir... Although that puppet is precious, it is of little use to me. You don't need to take it to heart."

Su Lun felt that it was probably because of the drawings he gave before that he got the reward he has now.

Kama asked, "Sir, are you a descendant of the puppet masters?"

Su Lun didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "Yes!"

Hearing this, Kama's clear brown pupils immediately radiated brilliance, "Really! Then what kind of inheritor are you... from?"

The puppet master is a small group, and now he has met his peers, so he is not an outsider.

Su Lun hesitated for a moment.

Which vein?

It's really hard to say.

In terms of seniority, this girl should call him ancestor... Uncle ancestor?

Kama looked at him hesitantly for a moment, thinking that he had touched some privacy, and quickly said: "Oh, sir, it's not convenient for you to say, so you don't need to..."

Before she finished speaking, Su Lun shook her head and said, "It's not that it's inconvenient to say. It's just that it's very troublesome to explain. I'm... Teacher Serea's disciple."

Hearing this, Kama's face showed a hint of suspicion. Obviously thinking, this line seems to have never heard of it.

In the notes left by his ancestors, he said that there are only a few inheritances of the Puppet Master...

etc!

Miss Serea?

In his mouth... Could it be the "Serea" he was talking about?

The founder of the puppeteer line? !

how could it be possible!

Su Lun looked at Kama's suddenly puzzled and shocked expression, and said helplessly: "It's just what you think. It's just a little troublesome to explain."

"This..."

Karma listened, her eyes widened.

I thought it was a senior brother from a certain vein, but it turned out to be the uncle Zuzuzu?

This... This gentleman in front of me is an old monster who has lived for thousands of years?

After this starter appeared in his mind, Karma's expression instantly became extremely strange.

Su Lun knew that this statement was a bit bizarre, so he hesitated just now.

He was not ready to explain, and said, "I'm not that old. But it's a little troublesome to explain. If there is a chance in the future, let's talk about it in detail."

He didn't conceal that he meant that those people outside searched for people again, and said, "You solved a lot of trouble for me, and even saved me. But I'm here, and it may cause you trouble..."

Kama listened, even more panic. She seemed to think of something, and said quickly: "No! It won't be troublesome! If you don't mind, you can stay here. I can help you."

"..."

Su Lun's expression froze slightly, and his eyes glanced around.

This is a puppet studio and a long-term residence. There are tools and drawings for making puppets on the walls and workbenches, and the decorations in the room are also very girlish.

Judging from the layout of the house, this Karma has been staying for a long time.

Now the possibility of being caught by mysterious means has also been cut off, and staying here may indeed be a lot less troublesome.

And it just so happened that at this time, Su Lun had already felt that someone was surrounded.

A group of people went up to the small building and knocked on the door from door to door.

Now go out, the probability of being found is very high.

Kama also heard the movement, glanced at Su Lun, and nodded seriously: "Leave it to me."

She didn't know Su Lun's combat power, but she knew very well that the priest of the temple had spoken, and now no one could leave the city.

Su Lun frowned, but didn't leave.

At this time, the door was knocked.

Karma went to open the door, and outside the door were several pirates with the logo of the North Sea Fleet on their bodies.

As soon as the door was opened, a wave of not-so-smart fluctuations swept over, obviously a perception system professional.

"How many people are in the house? When did you come to the city-state of Moros?"

"Two... me and my cousin."

"Yo, cousin? When did he come..."

"For a long time."

"..."

Obviously, the people who came to view the houses were pirates who were familiar with this area.

Before the question was over, someone shouted outside the door, "Hey, Lecht, don't ask, that's Miss Karma's house, I know... let's go to the next one."

"Oh."

Listen, the pirates also seem to want to finish their cross-examination as soon as possible, so they took one more look and turned away.

There are roots and bottom lines, and naturally there will be no doubts.

Su Lun was silent in the room.

If he remembered correctly, the frivolous young man who pursued this girl just happened to be the captain of the North Sea Fleet?

The door closed, and Karma breathed a sigh of relief.

After a cross-examination, the current trouble is temporarily resolved.

She looked at Su Lun and said, "Sir, you will say it's my cousin..."

Su Lun also felt that there was no problem listening to her compiled history, and nodded: "Well."

.....

As soon as the pirates left, there were only two people left in the house.

This is a girl's boudoir. The two are alone. After the business is finished, there is no topic. The atmosphere is slightly awkward.

Su Lun looked at the semi-finished puppet on the workbench and said casually, "Are you studying the 'Gilles equation'? You are going in the wrong direction. This is the alchemy matrix of the seal system, which is usually not used for offensive purposes. On the puppet. Moreover, the intermediate puppet master stage is rarely used."

There are many puppet parts in the room. Different from the rune puppets that Su Lun usually studies, these puppet parts have many ingeniously designed mechanisms, such as steel needles, poisonous mist, nooses, thorns...

The Boyle family inherited another branch of the Puppet Master - the Organ Puppet.

However, at this level, in the eyes of Su Lun now, there is indeed not much left.

When Karma listened to Su Lun's words, an expression of humbly accepting criticism flashed on her face, and she nodded from time to time: "Well."

As Su Lun spoke, she was also thinking about what to give her in exchange for consuming the [Substitute Puppet] just now.

Thinking about it, he took out several fourth-order puppets that he had refined, "Oh, yes, these puppets are for you."

Although it can't match the [Substitute Puppet], it is also expensive.

And for Kama's current second-order strength, these puppets are more practical and can bring her enough security.

That's how a puppet master is. The combat power depends entirely on puppets, and a good puppet can instantly increase their combat power.

Puppets can also be passed down as family heirlooms.

This is the puppet master "hard currency."

"This..."

Watching Su Lun take out a few rune puppets, Karma's eyes lit up immediately.

As a puppet master, she could naturally see at a glance that the subtlety of these puppets was far beyond her own understanding.

Not just drawings, carvings, enchanting, runes...all are master craftsmanship. All the details indicate that it is the first ancient method passed down from generation to generation by their Boyle family.

She then remembered the previous conversation.

The person in front of him is really his grandfather and grandfather?

This is the only way to explain why he was able to take out the complete blueprints and these high-level puppets in front of him.

Kama seemed a little flattered. Facing the gift of "Senior Master", she couldn't refuse, so she accepted the puppet: "Thank you... Uncle Patriarch."

Su Lun's expression was a little strange when he heard this title. Although the seniority was correct, he felt that it was wrong, so he said, "My name is Su Lun. You can just call me by my name."

Kama listened to Su Lun not correcting her statement, and her expression became more solemn, "Yes, Uncle Patriarch. Oh no, Su... Mr. Su Lun."

Su Lun didn't bother about the title anymore, and said, "My identity is very troublesome, and it's not a good thing for you to get involved. I won't stay here any longer. After the search in the city is over, I will Leave. If you have any questions, or need my help, just say so."

As he said that, his corner of the eye also glanced at a corner of the room.

The family that has been inherited for thousands of years must have some background.

The semi-finished product with soul fluctuations is placed in an inconspicuous corner.

Karma didn't take the initiative to mention it, and he didn't ask people's privacy.

......

Kama listened to Su Lun's words, and there was a look of loss on her face, as if she felt that she had finally met a senior from the division, and she was about to miss it.

She thought about it and said, "That... Mr. Su Lun. If possible, I would like to ask you a few questions about puppets."

Su Lun said: "Don't be so polite. You say it."

Kama said, took out a puppet, then fiddled with the mechanism, and took out a few hidden drawings from the puppet's body, "Can you help me to see what is wrong on this blueprint?"

Su Lun looked at Wei Wei and kept it so carefully, obviously things were not simple.

This drawing is hand-painted, but it is higher than any of the workbench row.

Su Lun only glanced at it, and frowned, "Is this found in some ancient book?"

Just by looking at the mysterious runes on the blueprint, he knew that this was a very complicated and high-end puppet part.

And only part of it.

New painting, like copying... This is also the key clue.

Karma said truthfully: "This is something that has been passed down from my Boyle family."

"..."

Su Lun read it carefully, and immediately knew that it was not easy to figure out the problem in a while.

The mechanism puppet was carried forward by the "Robert Boyle", and many things were his original creation.

A lot of knowledge designed here is "top-level puppet knowledge" that Su Lun has not yet covered.

He also needs to go back and read a lot of classics to find out the problem.

However, although he couldn't fully understand it, Su Lun could guess what the effect of this part of the blueprint was.

He vaguely understood what happened to the soul on the puppet in the corner.

"This should be the production of a top-level 'puppet core'. There are traces of the Lich's secret technique on it, and it should be able to hold the soul..."

Su Lun's eyes narrowed, unable to hide his shock at the blueprint, and exclaimed, "This is really a great idea!"

Kama listened to Su Lun's sip of the blueprint, and he didn't know that his puppet skills were far beyond his own comprehension.

She asked in surprise and anticipation, "Can you repair this blueprint?"

Su Lun's expression was serious, UU Reading said: "It's very difficult. The technology in the drawing is the knowledge only involved in the top puppet field. Even if there is material, I can't create it. Besides, this is only a part of the drawing. .."

Hearing this, Marfa eagerly asked, "What if... I could have other drawings?"

As she said that, she also knew that she was being rude, and there was a flash of hesitation in her crystal eyes, as if she had made a decision. Finally, she revealed the family's biggest inheritance secret and said, "That...I didn't hide your intentions. But please help me...and my brother!"

Su Lun raised his brows: "Your brother?"

It turned out that the soul fluctuation on the puppet was her brother.

Kama nodded earnestly and said, "Yes! This is the drawing of the [Heart of the Organ Puppet] passed down by our Boyle family ancestors. And my younger brother is trapped in a broken heart of a puppet."
