Chapter 391： river of the underworld

Albuquerque was released from the [Boyle's Puppet Heart], and there has been one more person in Suren's laboratory.

At this point, Su Lun also realized the brilliance of his senior brother Robert Boyle.

Finding out such a core of inheriting the skills of the "organ and puppet line" can not only ensure that one's own knowledge is passed on, but also select suitable descendants to inherit that knowledge.

Albuquerque has been trapped in this core for five years, and the harvest is not ordinary.

Not only is the talent directly resolved in some special circumstances, but more importantly, his xinxing grows.

Specializing in alchemy can be very boring and lonely, and the deeper you go, the more so.

Su Lun now has a deep understanding.

That requires extraordinary self-discipline and persistence.

How many people with superior talents in the world eventually return to the ordinary, all of which have been defeated by their xinxing.

Being able to stay in a puppet core like a "cage" for five years, Albuquerque already has the most important qualities to be a top alchemist.

With a good talent and a good heart, this is a beautiful piece of jade.

It is also fortunate that his sister Karma has been patiently encouraging him in the past few years, and it is also fortunate that he met Su Lun.

Albuquerque himself worked hard, and he showed an extraordinary talent for learning in alchemy.

Unforgettable, multi-purpose, almost all basic knowledge entry is very fast.

He can read boring alchemy books with relish, he can quickly learn about fighting and firearms, and he can quickly accept complex mechanical knowledge...

Even if he hasn't merged any of the equipment and inauguration materials, he can control the basic puppet with his nimble fingers alone.

Su Lun also liked this disciple very much.

And when he heard Albuquerque say the words "Teacher, I think the human body is too weak and has limited functions. My dream is to transform myself into a puppet...", he knew, This guy will also walk an extraordinary path of a puppeteer.

That's the taboo of the puppet master lineage - the explosive transformation warlock.

Sullen is also very supportive of his idea.

The inheritance of the puppet masters has never been static, they are constantly exploring and progressing on the shoulders of their predecessors.

The path that Su Lun himself wanted to take was the route of the "Mechanical Puppet Master".

And the organ puppets of Boyle's lineage also have infinite possible development routes. He hopes that Karma and Albuquerque will continue to go further on this road and carry forward.

It's a pity that the [Boyle's Organ Puppet Heart] has not been fully repaired, and most of the knowledge passed down in it cannot be parsed out.

If he wanted to repair it, Su Lun could think of the best way to get another green dragon crystal to replace it.

But that thing about Longjing... just think about it.

Dragons are creatures that have existed since the age of mythology. Mr. Jing said that there are islands in the West Sea where giant dragons live, and Tani heard his Naga mother also say it.

However, that kind of creature that was born to be an overlord, its combat power cannot be theorized at all.

To kill an adult dragon, Su Lun reckoned that only a professional of the eighth and ninth ranks would have hope.

No need to think about it in the short term.

But fortunately, Su Lun's current knowledge is very rich, and he has also stripped away the previous "thousand-machine puppet" Vasily Tilmidor's knowledge of mechanism puppets. At least for the next ten or twenty years, it is enough to teach two brothers and sisters.

......

One more person, and more excitement.

The three masters and apprentices stayed in the laboratory all day, doing experiments.

Although he was used to the loneliness of research experiments, Su Lun felt a little more angry in the laboratory.

The two disciples, and also two handy assistants, also saved him a lot of heart.

The sea ruins are very big and big, as if there is no edge. The Dawn Mission has sailed for eight or nine days and has not found the Styx River.

Su Lun is very busy every day, and he has too many things to study. Mechanical armor, making [Siren Banshee], solidifying the fighting ability of the gargoyle, engraving [Seagod Rune of Ximinleiwa] on one's body, researching the improvement of mechanical octopus, making new mechanical octopus...

Every day is full of time, but I don't feel like the day goes by so fast.

Today, in the laboratory.

The three of Su Lun were busy as always.

In front of the workbench, two people with eight-armed spider spears are immersed in fiddling with puppets.

The Dark Gold Spider Lance was Surun, and beside him, Albuquerque was contacting the first-order Rune Puppet carved with the Gold Spider Lance.

As the inheritance of the Puppet Master lineage, Su Lun will not treat his direct disciples unfairly.

He took out the rare materials that he collected on weekdays, and made a first-order alchemy outfit for Albuquerque [Eight-Armed Spider Spear]. Although it is a gold-quality spider spear as the main material, it is more manipulative and fits better with the puppet warlock.

Albuquerque also likes this breeding outfit, and has used it very skillfully in a few days.

With two disciples, Su Lun does not need to do many things himself, such as recording experimental data, Karma is a very careful assistant.

At this time, Su Lun was inscribed with runes on his body. He thought of something and said, "Kama, you will go and see how the [Mind Flayer's Egg] has been cultivated by Dr. Banks. If you can Get a mature mind flayer early, and then you can get advanced breeding equipment for you. Although it is not as effective as capturing it in the natural environment, it is suitable for your rank..."

Su Lun's own path is not bad, but not everyone can walk.

Without the blessings of two S-rank talents, the breeding equipment and advanced materials he used for inauguration could not be digested by others.

Kama listened with joy, and replied obediently: "Well, teacher."

There is a good teacher, let her learn too much knowledge.

The key point is that this teacher is also rich and powerful, and there are more good babies than they were in a big family.

Having said this, Su Lun added: "Also, you siblings are just staying in the laboratory, there are many things I can't teach you. Go to the deck when you have time and find Tani and Lolota. Let’s talk more and get acquainted with the other partners of the dawn group. The combination of work and rest will make learning more efficient.”

Kama is still very obedient: "Okay, teacher."

But Albuquerque on the side said: "Teacher, it's good to let my sister go alone. I think the laboratory is more suitable for me, and learning makes me happy~ Besides, teacher, aren't you in the laboratory all the time? Everyone said that the teacher is so powerful because of her hard work. I will work harder in the future and be as good as you, teacher!"

Hearing this, Su Lun smiled.

Combining Seria's teaching and his own experience, he said: "You are now learning to accumulate, so it is best to stay in the laboratory. But in fact, fighting is the fastest way to progress, and the mechanism is even more This is the case. The world is very big, you have to see the world by yourself, and alchemists also need enough knowledge and experience to support your dreams. When you become stronger, you have to go out and experience it yourself.”

Kama was thoughtful and interrupted: "Ah, Lolota said, Senjo-sensei also said the same."

Only then did Alberk seem to understand something, "Got it, teacher."

The three of them chatted like this, and suddenly, Tani's voice came from the communicator: "Mr. Suren, come and see, we seem to have reached the entrance of the 'River of the Underworld'!"

Su Lun listened and muttered, "It's finally here."

......

There is a chaotic magnetic field in the sea market, and there is no starlight and moonlight, so it is impossible to judge the direction. It is also fortunate that the Dawn Mission has a nautical treasure such as [Black Sam's World Chart], so it can go all the way west.

When Su Lun came to the deck, everyone was gathered around the side of the ship and looked at the black sea whirl with a diameter of several thousand meters in the distance.

"Oh my God! I've never heard of such a big sea spin in my life, and I've never even heard of it!"

"Are we really going to drive the boat in? If we go down, we won't be able to get up."

"Hahaha, it's time to test Tani's skills, we all rely on him."

"Oh, here comes Mr. Suren."

"Hello Mr. Sullen~"

"..."

Everyone looked at Su Lun and said hello one after another.

Su Lun didn't delay after responding, and jumped up the mast.

Standing at a high place, he also cast his gaze over, and took in the huge vortex hidden in the faint mist.

Huge, pitch-dark, terrifying, unknown, ancient meaning...

Even if the black crow is released, it is completely impossible to see where the bottom of the sea spin is. It is like a bottomless pit, swallowing endless sea water, as if it leads directly to another world.

This sea market is really like the legend, it is the end of the sea, and the dead sea water is buried.

Su Lun contacted Mr. Jing, described what he saw, and reconfirmed that this "probably" was the entrance to the river of the underworld.

At this moment, Tani is using his superb boat control skills, spinning circles around the sea.

And behind the dawn regiment, there are dozens of ships.

Everyone looked at the sea whirl like the giant mouth of the abyss demon, and didn't know how to choose.

Suren was observing, and at this moment, Tani in the cockpit suddenly asked: "Mr. Suren, do we want to go down? If we turn further, the sea spin will involve us. Or we have to leave as soon as possible. ."

As soon as these words came out, Qianjo, Barrett, Dr. Banks... all looked over, waiting for his decision.

Although Su Lun often stayed in the laboratory and made a few appearances, everyone in the Dawn Group knew that he was the core of the team.

Su Lun frowned and looked very cautious. After all, this is not the sea ruin that Sir Isaac went to. This decision is related to the lives of everyone in the entire Dawn Regiment.

But there seems to be no other way to leave the sea ruins.

After pondering for a moment, he asked first, "Tani, are you sure you can go on?"

"no problem!"

Tani used his expertise to get a positive answer, and added: "The range of this cyclone is very large, and the wind direction is stable. We just need to follow the vortex pattern. The strength of the 'Eternal Night' is enough to support us not to. It was torn apart by Haixuan. I just don't know what happened after going down. We won't be able to get up again."

When Su Lun heard this, he glanced at Qianjo and the others, and got a firm look in response.

Everyone in the Dawn regiment has absolute trust in him.

Su Lun calculated all the possibilities in his mind, and said without hesitation, "Then let's go."

"it is good."

Tani's serious response came from the communicator, followed by a control command: "The sailor is in place! Prepare to rush into the sea spin!"

The chief navigator gave an order, and everyone held their breaths.

After the sail angle was adjusted, the "Eternal Night Emperor" rushed towards the huge sea whirl.

This crazy move immediately fooled the dozens of adventure groups who followed the dawn group behind him.

The "Black Panthers" knew some inside information, and the leader "Red Nose" Miles was also an experienced adventurer. He did not hesitate to order his subordinates to throw away the heavy gold and silver belongings on the ship and follow.

The other ships hesitated.

With such a huge vortex, no one can make a decision immediately if they want to give up the treasures that they have exchanged for their lives, not to mention whether they can stay stable or not.

......

The Dawn Mission ignored the strangers.

The "Eternal Night" quickly entered the exaggerated eddy current area of ​​the sea. The hull was pulled stronger and stronger by the sea water, and the maneuverability became smaller and smaller.

"The jib is stowed, the mainsail is in control! Put the half-spear to stabilize the hull!"

"Hold on tight, we're about to hit the waves!"

"..."

Tani's hoarse roar came from the communicator.

Under his command and control, the hull was at an angle of nearly 90 degrees vertical, and at an increasing speed, it rode on the circle of ripples in the sea spin.

Everyone's hearts hang in their throats, and their expressions are either solemn, excited, or apprehensive.

Although the Neptune-class battleship is strong, it seems so pale and powerless in the face of confrontation with the forces of nature. Once the operation is careless and involved in the turbulent current, the ship will be smashed into pieces by the power of the huge ocean current.

But after a violent collision, the entire ship suddenly stabilized.

The huge centripetal force glued everyone's feet to the deck. It looked very dangerous, but it was like a train entering the right track, but it became stable.

At this time, Tani's excited voice came from the communicator: "Hahaha, the dangerous time has passed, and we have successfully entered the stable flow area of ​​the cyclone!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sigh of relief from the deck.

Su Lun looked at the black hole that was pitch black and couldn't see the end, and his eyes were bright.

It was a feeling of falling into an endless abyss.

Facing the abyss, the fear is no longer, but there is endless courage in my heart.

The same is true for Qianjo on the side, looking at each other, both of them can see the fearlessness in each other's eyes.

Beside them, Lolota, Karma, and Albuquerque had never seen such a scene before, and their faces were full of nervousness.

......

The sea whirl seems to have no end, leading into the endless darkness.

In the apprehension on everyone's faces, expectations gradually emerged.

This is also one of the joys of adventure. The front of the route is always full of unknowns.

In a very short period of time, the "Eternal Night" went down about ten kilometers vertically. Suddenly, everyone saw a light blue light in their field of vision.

After the violent collision for a moment, I felt that the ship seemed to crash into the river from the waterfall, and the water flow became smoother.

It was pitch black all around, but there were blobs of spiritual bodies like blue jellyfish flowing through the water.

After examining it, Su Lun found that it actually showed [the soul of the deceased].

He was overjoyed and said aloud, "We have reached the 'River of the Underworld'!"

When everyone heard this, their faces were filled with joy.

Seeing this river means that they are on the right path, and there is great hope that they will be able to get out.

At this time, Su Lun snorted softly again: "Everyone throw down the [Opoles Silver Coins]!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone threw the silver coin they had prepared earlier into the water. This is to bribe the ferrymen of the Styx to redeem the ransom for their souls that were supposed to go to the underworld.

"Crash!" The silver coins entered the water, and everyone in the Dawn Mission closed their eyes.

In the legend of Romance, there is a **** river flowing from the underworld, called "Agron River".

Its branches are all over the major planes, and the souls of people after death will float down this river to the underworld. The undead must pay a silver coin to the ferry **** to safely cross the river by boat, otherwise they will wander and get lost along the banks of the river of pain, and will never find their home.

Su Lun also closed his eyes, this is the rule above the Styx. If you really want to see the ferrying god, you will have to replace him to extradite the dead soul, and you will never be able to go back. Or wait until the next successor to go to the underworld.

......

After paying the money to buy the road, the Evernight cruise slowly reversed on the river, and a very slight sound of water could be heard beside my ears.

Mr. Mirror said that the Styx gathers all the dark laws of this plane, and the reverse current on the Styx will wash people's souls, and there is a chance that people will realize the mystery of some dark attribute laws.

Entering the sea market was an accident, and it was also a big opportunity.

Opportunities that most people can't touch in their lifetime.

Everyone in the dawn group closed their eyes, or crossed their knees, or stood, or lay on their backs, comprehending carefully.

What Su Lun cultivated was dark spiritual power, and what he comprehended was the "law of death". The breath on the Styx made him feel very comfortable.

For the first time, he felt a difference in the laws of death.

The "law of death" is like a big tree, so the leaves are all shades of green, tender green, light green, crystal green, dark green, and even the darkest black.

Su Lun felt that what he realized was just one of the leaves, and the greenness was neither thick nor weak.

He could clearly perceive that there was darkness behind him, and they were going in a direction where the law became weaker and weaker.

......

I don't know how long it took, like a few hours or like a few days.

Suddenly, everyone felt the glare of the light.

Su Lun opened his eyes, and when he looked again, they had already appeared on the vast and boundless sea.

Blue sky and white clouds, and the warm sun.

The dark energy that had been accumulated in the land of the dead for a long time was also swept away, and the entire spiritual world was transparent.

"Hahaha...We are finally back!"

"Oh, the **** smell of undead in the sea market made me feel that the sea breeze smells so good for the first time!"

"..."

On the deck, everyone reveled, and everyone was immersed in the great joy of returning from the adventure.

The Styx River flowed backwards, and everyone seemed to have received that kind of soul cleansing, and I couldn't describe the feeling, but they all had expressions of harvest on their faces.

For the first time in 200 years, the Eternal Night has also shone into the sun, and the black sails that are suffocating are full of domineering under the sunlight.

The Dawn Regiment's flag fluttered atop the mast.

Not far away, the ships of the "Black Panther Regiment" also followed.

"Red Nose" Miles wanted to return to Lu Ying, and guessing that the Dawn Mission had other important things, he waved goodbye to Barrett.

Although he lost a lot of treasures, he also brought back everything. In general, the harvest was good this time.

After saying goodbye to the Black Panthers, Tani used a sextant to determine their approximate locations, and reported: "Mr. Suren, we are now thousands of nautical miles away from where we first entered the sea ruins."

Su Lun didn't forget that their main purpose this time was the "Void Ruins", he said, "Continue to sail!"

The crowd cheered, and Yang Fan set sail.

There is a high probability that Princess Frost Moon would not have guessed that someone had survived from the sea ruins.
