Chapter 434： Alley, nice view

"Good stuff..."

Su Lun looked at the sales information of the batch of mechanical equipment projected on the public screen, and said it was impossible not to be jealous.

This batch of imported equipment from Marfa is the best of the best. If he really wants to fall into his hands, he doesn't even need to modify it much. With the high-precision equipment on the previous submarine, he can immediately assemble a mature industrial assembly line in the mechanical war factory in the small void world.

This will at least save several years of time compared to the previous plan to retrofit the assembly line with old equipment.

It just so happened that the batch of materials from the Thundercat Chamber of Commerce was also in hand, and there was no shortage of materials. Now with this batch of instruments, the mechanical puppet army can also form a group fighting force in a short period of time!

And, more importantly, after missing this opportunity, Su Lun didn't feel that he would have other channels to get such good equipment in a short period of time.

Back then, the group of people in the New Deal used imperial means to get such a batch of imported goods. Ordinary people, no matter how rich they are, have no channels.

Even if there are some smuggled goods on the black market, the quantity is definitely not large, and the functions are so complete!

For Su Lun, this is definitely a "big chance" for drowsiness to meet a pillow.

The kind that is bound to be won!

......

But after the surprise, Su Lun didn't get carried away by such a good thing.

Instead, he smelled a conspiracy and thought more and more calmly.

Nowadays, the entire machinery industry of Lu Ying is very backward, and these imported equipments that have surpassed the current technology for decades are very tasteless to others. It is almost only useful for forces that want to study mechanical armor.

So accordingly, this special supply and demand relationship also filters out buyers.

There are many rich people in the Luying Empire, but not many are willing to take advantage of them.

So, this news feels like a directional bait.

to lure certain groups of people.

Once someone is interested in them, then it is certain that this person is useful to take these instruments, and almost certainly can be used to make mechanical armor.

Except for Archduke Raphael, whose technology level is unknown, and Suren, who have the ability to make mechanical armor by themselves. Probably no one is interested in buying such a bunch of "chicken rib instruments" that are many times more expensive than ordinary equipment.

Sullen usually takes the worst-case scenario into account before making some risky decisions.

Thinking of this, he thought to himself: "Assuming that this batch of goods is a bait for someone who wants to fish, then there are two major forces with great suspicion, one is from Raphael, and the other is from Marfa."

Su Lun has neuro-mechanical technology in his hands, and he has also cut off the "secret submarine machinery research institute" that the Marfa Empire used as a dowry to Oleg, the king of the North Sea.

Both of these forces are bitter masters.

But it is not ruled out that these intelligences have been known by other forces, such as Lu Ying's Military Intelligence Service, or other forces.

After all, in the previous battle in the city-state of Moros, the information that the mechanical puppet army killed the Quartet appeared in the newspapers. Those who know how to analyze it can roughly guess that he may have the ability to manufacture mechanical armor.

But Su Lun also felt that if this was really a fishing conspiracy, then there must be enemies, and it doesn't matter who it is.

But you must have the awareness to plan for the worst.

......

All kinds of possibilities flashed through Su Lun's mind in an instant.

After thinking about it, the biggest uncertainty is not others, but the organizer of this dance!

After the "Shadow Lord" with the golden mask said a sentence at the beginning, he didn't speak again, and sat quietly in the shadow of the light.

He is like the director of a stage play, silently watching everything that happens on the stage behind the scenes.

He organized the full moon dance.

This man knows everything.

Because Su Lun knew that this was an old man whose life had come to an end, he also understood his indifferent attitude.

But this makes people a little bit incomprehensible.

It is impossible for the great alchemist not to understand his own physical condition. People are dying, and power and money are fleeting. So what is the purpose of this man who is still active at the dance?

Which force does he represent, or...he only represents himself?

This "Shadow Lord" made Su Lun feel more and more mysterious.

He didn't have time to understand these doubts for the time being.

Because the seller has made it clear that if no one buys it, this batch of sealed equipment will fall into the hands of Archduke Raphael, and it is impossible to buy it back.

No hesitation at all.

The ball is still going on, and the sweet classical dance music is floating in the banquet hall.

Su Lun thought for a moment, then asked Sabina, who was dancing in her arms, "Is there a way to determine who sent that message?"

Sabina is very smart, she naturally knew what her master was talking about, and replied softly, "Not now. But you can check it out, but the risk is not small."

When Su Lun heard this, there was a flash of thought in his eyes, and he didn't ask any further questions.

Sabina's answer didn't make him feel embarrassed, it was just a casual question.

Because he knew very well that this method would not work.

Even if he contacted the owner privately, if it was a conspiracy, he still had to face the risks.

even more dangerous.

On the contrary, if you contact through the platform of the dance party, there is still a middleman who can figure it out.

He also wanted to use this to determine whether this "Shadow Lord" was absolutely neutral, and how much energy he had.

After pondering for a moment, Su Lun said again: "I'm going to take over this batch of goods. Just in case, I'll get off the airship later, and all the people you're ready to inform you are lurking."

Once there is a problem with the organizer, Sabina's disguised identity will be exposed, and most of the intelligence network she has finally established may have to be abandoned.

Sabina was not surprised at all, and answered without hesitation, "Yeah."

She had this kind of awareness from the very beginning.

After all, everything about her belongs to the master.

......

Compared to what you get, this risk is totally worth the gamble.

Su Lun had already thought of a countermeasure in his mind. Without any hesitation, he directly chatted with the person who provided the clue, then handed over two silver coins and reached an agreement.

The dance is on the airship, which is several thousand meters in the sky.

For others, there is probably nowhere to escape.

But for him, saving his life is not a big problem.

Moreover, he also felt that even if the organizer was an accomplice in fishing, there was a high probability that he would not do it on the airship.

Otherwise, this "full moon dance party" that has been in business for so many years will have to collapse immediately. Losing such an important resource platform, even if you get the technology, the price is not light.

What's more, Sabina's identities are fake, and no one is sure that they must be the true masters.

To start, it is after getting off the airship!

......

As Su Lun expected, after he made a deal with the buyer, nothing happened.

The full moon dance lasted for more than two hours.

Then they went back to their rooms, the airship landed somewhere unknown, and they were sent back to Lingdun by a special car.

Not long after, Su Lun and Sabina were already in the special car they had taken when they came.

In the airtight compartment, Su Lun took out a black umbrella and expanded the range of perception.

Everything is normal.

Except for the driver, no one followed.

From getting on the car before the dance, to the airship, and now, there is a communication signal shielding throughout the whole process.

Now that he came down, Su Lun used the space technique to open up Sabina, and asked her to issue a secret order to the person who organized her line in the mirror as soon as possible.

Su Lun thought about it, to be on the safe side, his double-surgeon pinched and shouted, "Psychic!"

The black pentagram formation lit up, the different planes were connected to the void, and a strong necromancy aura suddenly hit the carriage.

Looking at it again, a brightly colored crow was channeled.

The psychological quality of professional intelligence personnel is naturally not bad. Even if she guessed that there may be danger, Sabina is very calm. She looked at the extra black crow in the carriage, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she seemed to have a little more fun: "Wow~ Master, is this your legendary two-way crow?"

The ability of Moros city-state to reduce dimensionality in the first and second world war shocked the whole world. Now this dead bird is as famous as Su Lun, a proper "big star".

Because of it, the price of crow pets in Lingdun has skyrocketed more than tenfold.

Su Lun nodded, "Yeah."

"Wow..."

Sabina had read the introduction in the newspaper in detail, but she didn't expect that the extremely dangerous bird of death, which was said to be extremely dangerous, looked quite cute even before it transformed into a fool.

She asked again, "What's its name?"

As soon as these words came out, before Su Lun could answer, the black crow on his shoulder called out, "Master Crow, Master Crow!"

"what...?"

Sabina listened to it with wonder, and said in amazement, "It can still talk?"

Speaking is secondary, the key is to be able to understand people's words!

"Um."

Su Lun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained one more sentence, "It's called 'Uncle Crow'."

Hearing this, Sabina Lek became interested. Although the name is cheap, it seems very interesting!

She rolled her eyes and asked eagerly: "Master Crow, your feathers are so beautiful, can I touch you?"

Black Crow tilted his head and looked at her coldly.

Su Lun explained a little helplessly: "This stupid bird has nothing to eat, and doesn't like to talk to people very much."

"Is that so..."

Sabina thought about it, took out a piece of jerky, and tried it, but the black crow didn't even look at her.

Su Lun thought and handed her a piece of carrion and said, "It's very picky. Feed this."

"what?"

Sabina picked it up beautifully and found it more and more interesting.

She took the carrion from Su Lun's hand and fed it.

If not, if he changed his liking, the black crow was so happy that Hulun swallowed it, and then he did not forget to flatter a few words: "Beautiful beauty! Great beauty!"

Hearing Su Lun's eyes twitched, he glanced at it.

"Thank you~"

Sabina also laughed in her heart, hahahaha, and responded with a serious response. She reached out her hand and touched Hei Crow carefully, as if she was treating a human being, and responded politely, "Wow, Master Crow, you are also a very handsome bird."

Uncle Crow obviously understood that he was complimenting it, and thumping his calf, he jumped onto Sabina's hand.

Looking at its arrogant demeanor, it seems to be saying: Uncle Crow allows you to touch a few more times.

Sabina couldn't help laughing when she saw the vivid anthropomorphic expression.

Su Lun was a little surprised and complained: "You are the first person that this stupid bird will approach."

Sabina blinked, listening happily, "Really?"

The owner's pet should naturally have a good relationship.

......

The steam car drove the two of Su Lun for half an hour, and entered the city from the suburbs.

There was no problem in the first half, but at this moment, Su Lun suddenly sensed something, and his expression changed slightly.

Sabina was still teasing the black crow. She keenly sensed the change in Su Lun's demeanor and asked, "Is that so?"

Su Lun said solemnly: "The traffic line has deviated, and we have just turned into 'Hot South Street'. This is not the road to Queens, but to Franklin."

Sabina understood something instantly, and her expression became solemn.

It stands to reason that this car will send them back to the designated place.

But now it's gone.

This is a big problem.

She glanced at Su Lun, who had a serious expression, but did not speak. Obviously, her master had expected it.

The worst might have happened.

Su Lun frowned at Ning Chuan, recalling the cobweb-like urban routes of Lingdun City in his mind, and knew their current location very clearly.

The inexplicable turn just now can also be understood as a temporary lane change caused by certain road conditions, but then there were several wrong routes without turning back, which made him finally determined that there is definitely something wrong with the driver!

"Is there really a problem with the organizer?"

Su Lun's demeanor is very solemn, which is almost the worst situation.

Or... is someone infiltrating the full moon's misunderstanding and bribing the driver?

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Now for sure, it's going to be a fight!

The carriage has a prohibition to prevent perception, so the driver probably didn't know that Su Lun had discovered the problem, and the speed was fast.

But since it was determined that there was a problem with the line, it was naturally impossible for Su Lun to watch the driver drive them into the ambush. Now the black crow has no warning, which means that there is no fatal danger around. It's too late to get started.

Thinking of this, Su Lun waved one hand, and a black scythe suddenly appeared in his hand.

He didn't mean to communicate with the driver at all, and without hesitation, he cut off with a knife, cutting off the top of the carriage and the head of the driver in the front cab.

The cold wind blows in at night, and the airtight carriage suddenly becomes a "convertible car".

There was a headless corpse in front of the seat that was gurgling blood.

Su Lun swallowed the "grey mist" on the driver's body, then quickly jumped out of the car with Sabina in his arms.

Because the steam locomotive was out of control, it crashed into a red brick house directly in front of it.

With a loud "Boom", the front of the car crashed into a wall and rushed in.

Su Lun didn't even look at her head, she dragged Sabina and ran into the alley: "Go!"

......

It's past midnight now.

There was hardly anyone on the block except for a few drunkards who were intoxicated.

After the temperature dropped, this time period was also the time when the fog in Lingdun City was the thickest, and the visibility was only 20 to 30 meters. Blocks that are not the main roads of the city, the gas street lights are very sparse. The dim light in the corner that is only half a street away does not give people the slightest sense of security. Pedestrians walk on the streets, like an abyss.

However, this has no effect on Su Lun at all.

Even if the visibility is low, the spatial perception ability allows him to clearly distinguish the situation around him.

He jumped up with his arms around Sabina, and jumped to a tower not far away, just at this distance to observe the scene of the car accident from a distance.

Su Lun observed the movement of the block and digested the memories that had just been stripped away. He was a little surprised and thought, "It wasn't the organizer's order?"

But at the same time he was relieved.

Having stripped off the driver's memory just now, Su Lun discovered that that guy was also a long-term secret son arranged by other espionage forces at the Full Moon Ball.

But specifically who is behind the scenes?

He was just on orders to drive to the fresh fish market in Franklin.

Now that it was confirmed that it wasn't the mysterious "Shadow Lord" who was behind the black hand, the pressure was suddenly relieved by most of it.

Su Lun didn't run away in a hurry.

He also wanted to see if he could find more clues as to who was laying the bait.

The traffic accident was very loud, and residents around were woken up one after another, and some lights were turned on.

Looking at Sabina with a nervous expression beside her, Su Lun motioned her to relax and said, "It's not the party organizer who did it. You don't need to be too nervous to inform your people for a while. Check the situation in a while, and then take the next step. Decide."

He knew that Sabina was still waiting for his judgment to issue a second order.

"Um!"

When Sabina heard this, she was obviously relieved.

Then she quickly used the communicator to send out a cipher text: Stand by.

There are a lot of people in the chain of her intelligence team. To avoid being traced and implicated, some key "hardware" needs to be erased.

Not sure who the enemy was before, Sabina issued an order for everyone to prepare to hide.

If the second issue is "execution", or if the order is not received within a certain period of time, then all the spy personnel will immediately enter an emergency latent state, and each will be disconnected and "disappeared".

In a short period of time, even Sabina would find it difficult to contact them again, and some would even lose contact forever.

This is similar to the cost of a broken arm to save a life, and the loss will definitely not be small.

It is naturally fortunate that losses can be avoided now.

And, if the enemy is the party party, that's a real disaster.

Now that it is confirmed that it is not, the threat level has dropped by most of it immediately.

Sabina's frowning frown finally loosened, she pondered for a moment, and then gradually revealed a smile, and said, "If it wasn't for the organizer, you might have had a blessing in disguise, Master."

Su Lun glanced at her, "Oh?"

Sabina explained: "We had an accident in the car at the party, and it was obvious that there was something wrong with them. In this case, "Shadow Lord" will definitely compensate us. There was a similar accident before. Someone broke the trading rules of the ball, causing huge losses to a member. But within two days, the "Shadow Lord" sent someone to handle everything perfectly. It made up for the loss of the member, and also gave that person a sincere compensation..."

When Su Lun heard these words, she immediately looked at the organizer of the Full Moon Ball a little higher.

With such courage, no wonder he can do it so well.

Thinking of the pomp at the dance before, Su Lun also guessed that the compensation must be sincere enough.

But he felt that compensation and anything could be discussed later.

What Su Lun is more concerned about is, what about the shipment?

Taking such a big risk, it's a pity that I didn't get the goods.

No matter how good the compensation is, he still feels that the value of the imported machinery is not as high as the value that the imported machinery has brought him.

Sabina obviously understood her master's mind very well. She frowned and said with a smile: "Master, don't worry, if that batch of goods really exists, it will definitely be delivered according to the agreement at the ball. That "Shadow Lord" The energy in Lington is terrifying. "

Su Lun nodded as well, "I hope so."

Although it seems that there is no danger at present, this batch of goods was actually bet on his life.

If he hadn't discovered the problem in advance, he would have fallen into the enemy's ambush circle at this moment.

Since the other party dares to fish, then he naturally has the confidence to kill the fish.

In Lingdun City, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Su Lun didn't think he would definitely survive in someone else's trap.

......

The two of them squatted in the tower and observed for a while.

The car accident attracted some onlookers, including ordinary people and professionals.

Su Lun observed secretly, but did not wait for those who wanted to fish.

Those guys probably also know that there is only one chance to intercept, and if they lose it, they have to quickly find a way to wipe their ass.

After all, the "King of Lingdon Gang" is not a kind. If you dare to make small moves on his territory, you have to be prepared for crazy revenge.

As far as the "cases" that Sabina said happened before, everyone involved in the interception this time will be found out.

The consequences are definitely not something that ordinary people can bear.

Su Lun was looking forward to it.

Because he guessed that 80% of the time behind this incident was the Marfa Empire, or the Archduke Raphael.

He also wanted to see how the "Shadow Lord" would deal with these people.

Before the patrol police arrived, a group of mysterious windbreakers arrived first. They quickly packed up the scene and pulled away the bodies and vehicles.

A car accident ended here.

Judging from the level of professionalism of the floor scrubber, Su Lun also guessed that these windbreakers must be the ones sent by the King of Lington to clean up the mess.

It's impossible for this kind of thing to go to the authorities.

When the crisis was over, Sabina didn't feel nervous at all, but to be on the safe side, she didn't contact anyone.

The two jumped from the tower and wandered aimlessly on the streets of Lington, which was filled with fog in the middle of the night.

......

The sense of crisis that someone had pointed a gun at the back of his head was swept away, and it seemed that there was nothing to worry about.

Sabina hugged Su Lun's arm affectionately, and the two of them were not in a hurry and walked slowly.

There is a sign that reads "Tailor's Street" on the iron road sign by the roadside.

Surrounded by some low red brick houses, tailors have lived in the past few hundred years, which is also the lowest occupation of Lington. This is also one of the oldest neighborhoods in Lington.

The house is very dilapidated, and the white walls have become mottled gray-black over the years. The road is not smooth, it is a stone slab that existed hundreds of years ago, and occasionally you will be smashed by raised stones when you walk on it.

Because it is not a main road, there are no railroad trains or even a few street lights.

Darkness, silence, serenity, harmony...

There is a very different ancient time from Lingdun, but it makes people see a different atmosphere of fireworks in the market Walking on the foggy ancient street late at night, neither of them said a word, as if their hearts were appeased It must be like the environment, and it will be quiet with the night.

The two walked, walking from the street to the alley.

At this time, they had just passed by, and out of the corner of the eye caught a glimpse of the sign "73 Twilight Lane" on the rusted house number.

The house number doesn't matter.

The important thing is that this is a dark alley that is secluded enough that no one will pass by.

It is suitable for doing something romantic.

Here, even if the movement is louder, it probably won't disturb other people's dreams.

Sabina's beautiful eyes rolled and suddenly stopped. She said provocatively: "Sir... don't you think the environment here is very good?"

Su Lun was still thinking about the previous things in his mind. He was stunned for a moment, and his eyes instinctively focused on the pitch-black street in front of him.

That's it...? ? ?

But after a moment, Su Lun saw the charming smile in Sabina's beautiful eyes in the dark, and immediately understood.

The dim light illuminated the expression on Su Lun's face, where he couldn't laugh or cry, and said in an uncertain tone: "This... is not good?"

Sabina's charm is engraved in her bones. She is not at all shy, she takes Su Lun's hand into her trench coat generously, and hints: "Skirts are very convenient~"
