Chapter 457： end of life

Suren rode his motorcycle down Solomon Street to an unassuming rental house in Franklin.

With such a big incident today, he didn't plan to continue to show his face, and he didn't contact anyone.

Hide first, so as not to be found by some special means.

As for other things, wait until the limelight has passed.

Moreover, now that [Lilith's Vampire Ring] has been obtained, he intends to take this opportunity to advance to the sixth level.

If you really have to wait for a big rank, your combat power will soar a lot, and you will be more calm in dealing with any changes.

......

In the room, Su Lun put Uncle Crow on the bed and served him with delicious food.

This is the most important "insurance" and should not be neglected.

He also sat on the sofa and let out a long breath.

The nerves have been tense, and it is only now that they are relieved.

Su Lun reviewed all the things he encountered today in his mind, and almost got the context: "Since it is determined that Young Master William is the mastermind and dares to plan the old monster of Rodriguez, then Archduke Raphael must be involved. I predicted my actions so accurately, it looked like some kind of prophecy secret technique, it seems that the use of 'prismatic enchantment' should be the remaining priests of the Agapanon Temple..."

After confirming the identity of the enemy, Su Lun also had some confidence in his heart.

That young master William once killed himself once, and now he's here again... We must kill this guy so that there will be no trouble in the future.

The strength of William's sixth-order used to be prohibitive, and now it is not a threat to Su Lun. But behind him there was the Legardi family, who used to be the Mafa royal family, so he couldn't be careless.

If you want to kill, you have to find a suitable opportunity.

As for Archduke Raphael, this is a bit of a headache.

This "sixth largest member" has the impetus to dominate the Congress, and his power is overwhelming, and several other veteran aristocratic members are helpless.

Moreover, from the beginning to the end of this incident, Archduke Raphael had no reason to grasp it, nor could he justify it.

However, Su Lun felt that a person who had vengeance and revenge would not have any reason and evidence.

But it is almost impossible to assassinate Archduke Raphael.

Even if it can be killed, there is no substantial benefit other than causing a lot of trouble.

Su Lun suddenly thought of something, turned his eyes, and said in his heart: "I remember that there was intelligence in my previously stripped memory that there is a secret mechanical war factory of Raphael near the 'Nugget Island'?"

Thinking of this, the pirate heart in his heart suddenly rose again.

If you count me, it's not bad if I get some compensation?

The war factory in the deserted sea also seemed to be a secret base similar to "Old Lington". Specializing in the study of mechanical creatures such as mechanical octopuses, the most important thing is that the defense force is not very strict!

It just so happened that Suren felt that his war workshop was still lacking in various ways, and Raphael, a machine factory that had been secretly researching for decades, had sufficient materials, technologies, and technicians...

Well, after the wedding blessing, let's go to him!

Su Lun thought of this, and today he was calculated a wave of depression and dissipated a lot.

And this time it was calculated, and it wasn't all bad.

Now that there is a commotion, well-informed people probably know that "Death" is "Fick".

This means that even if he knows that he has neuro-mechanical technology in his hand, there is no point in chasing him.

Because normal people would think that the technology must have fallen into the hands of the Lance family.

This is also one of the benefits of Su Lun's promise to marry.

In the name of the marriage, the Lance family had to help him protect him from the wind and rain.

Su Lun felt that although Ekaterina was not a friend, she was also a good partner.

......

But in the end, everything depends on strength.

The next time I encounter such a conspiracy, the strength must be strong enough, and the conspirators must also break a few teeth.

Just as Su Lun was about to take a breath, he suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air with a squeak, and glanced at the wound on his arm again.

This is a wound that was cut by [Sigurd's Dragon Slayer's Dagger].

Originally, this kind of minor trauma should have healed by itself due to his constitution, but now it is still bleeding, and there is redness, swelling and inflammation like signs of infection.

If it hadn't been physically sutured with silk threads, 80% of the blood would have died.

Now that he has free time, he has time to deal with the wound.

Sullen removed the silk thread that sewed the wound, and saw a mysterious force in the wound that prevented healing.

He took out several high-grade debridement agents to rinse the wound repeatedly, and the force slowly dissipated.

After using a dozen of them, it was completely cleaned up. The wounds also began to heal.

At this time, Su Lun took out the crimson dagger and looked at it again, and muttered, "This [Dragon Slaying Dagger] is really evil."

Said to be a dagger, more like a dagger.

Taking a closer look, the scarlet glowing blade still has simple and mysterious lines. Some are alchemical runes, some are metal forging patterns, and some are special patterns that are incomprehensible.

And it is amazing that these special lines cannot be seen by the right eye, and only the omniscient pupil of the left eye can see the blurred shadow.

"What a high-level inscription, this is probably the legendary god-level rune."

Su Lun observed it carefully for a while, as if appreciating a peerless treasure.

The inscription on this dagger gave him a lot of inspiration.

It's like seeing the twinkling stars in the night sky. Although it is out of reach, you can also look up at the scenery in the sky.

It was identified as a "fallen magic weapon".

But now, it's probably an alchemy dagger at the "Forbidden Object" level.

Su Lun frowned when he saw it, and thought with some difficulty: "This dagger needs to absorb the blood of higher creatures to maintain its sharp special effect. Augustus also used it to kill people every day, so that it gradually gained such sharpness. It needs to be maintained. It's not easy."

This is indeed a magic weapon.

The most common "higher creatures" are humans.

To kill people every day, to maintain this kind of sharpness that is almost evil.

People from the Rodriguez family would take prisoners to the major cells in Lington to execute prisoners, including some prisoners of high-level professionals.

Su Lun does not have this condition.

Tried it just now, and the blood bag watering didn't work. It is necessary to stab and kill the living beings to have a weak buff blessing.

He is not a murderer either. In order to maintain a weapon, he kills people indiscriminately every day.

That is to say, when the dagger falls in his hands, the blade will slowly blunt.

It's really a pity.

After all, Tu Bu Tu Long aside, this is a top weapon that can hurt a seventh-order professional.

"I don't know if a living corpse is a living being?"

Su Lun thought of something.

If the living corpse can also maintain the dagger, that's fine.

Although the cost is a little higher, it is fortunately acceptable.

He thought about trying it slowly in the future.

And this dagger also has a special effect, that is, the more advanced the creature is killed, the greater the temporary sharp special effect increase.

And when Su Danglun saw that the dagger was identified, and there was a description of "drinking the blood of the gods and restoring the light of the magic weapon", his thoughts also became alive.

Su Lun's eyes showed anticipation, and he thought in his heart: "So, using 'God Blood' to temporarily enchant this dagger will make this dagger effective?"

No one else has the "active divine blood", and even the entire plane does not exist.

Because this is a plane with broken laws, there can be no real god-level creatures at all.

But Sullen has it!

Everyone in the Mirror Organization has a fallen angel limb in his hand, which is the true God.

Although his own heart has been refined into a colony, Mr. Jing still has some "sacred blood" in stock.

Moreover, the divine fire of this fallen angel was fused by Pestoia. In theory, this fallen angel is not dead yet!

His blood might have a miraculous effect on this dagger.

Thinking of this, Su Lun also felt that the dagger fell into his hands, and it would definitely be of great use in the future.

......

The next morning, the weather was fine.

The rumble of the first steam intercity train on the street outside woke Sullen from his meditation.

He opened his eyes and looked at the azure sky outside the window, his eyes lit up.

Meditation this night not only recovered the injuries from yesterday's battle, but also digested the knowledge harvested yesterday.

"Huh~ This harvest is really not easy..."

There was a sense of satiety in Su Lun's heart that he had never felt before.

Yesterday's battle had harvested Augustus, as well as the one or two hundred golden knights, and the amount of knowledge was so great that he felt that he could digest it almost now.

Needless to say, the old monster, this old monster who has lived for more than a hundred years is incomparable to ordinary people in terms of knowledge and alchemy knowledge.

However, after being trapped in the seventh-order threshold and knowing that he could not break through, the old monster was more interested in researching tricks.

But even so, alchemy below the seventh rank, almost all the fields he can relate to, have been thoroughly studied.

Although the knowledge above the seventh rank is not comprehensible, there is also some contact.

This made Su Lun directly pick up a big bargain, and immediately felt that the amount of knowledge was doubled.

Especially involving some high-level secret fields, it is an eye-opener.

He also has a clearer understanding of the various decadent status quo of Lu Ying's upper class society.

And the one or two hundred golden knights also made Su Lun feel that he had gained a lot.

[Golden Spear Legion Battle Formation], [Golden Shield Legion Battle Formation], [Dragon Slaying Battle Formation], [72 Evolution Essentials], [Medicinal Bath Secret Formula], [Forging Drawings of Golden Heavy Armor]. ..and many more.

This "Golden Shield Heavy Armored Knights" is one of Lu Ying's top legions, and it is also a noble legion that has been passed down by the Rodriguez family for hundreds of years.

It is said that it is a training method handed down from an ancient dragon-slaying knight army.

Su Lun digested those memories, and it really happened.

This kind of group charge is indeed a miraculous effect on the single large-scale Warcraft and top-level professional charge. All kinds of evolution tactics also revolve around rushing to fill positions. What ventilation, interruptions, exhaustion filling, all kinds of tactics take into account almost everything in the battle.

Normally, the combat power of the 300 cavalry yesterday was enough to not lose to one or two seventh-order professionals, and even have the possibility of killing them.

In theory, as long as the average momentum is high enough, dragon slaying is feasible.

Su Lun looked at him and broke into a cold sweat for himself.

The combat power of these elite knights is not comparable to that of a rabble of pirates. Three hundred knights are enough to kill seven in seven out of tens of thousands of pirates by means of tactics.

If it weren't for the big killer such as [Storm Hammer], he really couldn't beat it!

And "the method of battle formation" is the secret of Lu Ying's major legions, these are the intangible capital accumulated by the major families in actual combat for thousands of years.

These can be used directly on the puppet legion.

Legion battle formation is the most effective way to really turn quantitative advantages into quality combat power!

Su Lun harvested this knowledge, and immediately came up with the idea of ​​​​forming a golden heavy armor puppet army.

He has a lot of third- and fourth-order puppets in his hands, as well as fifth- and sixth-order mechanical armors. If he can rely on these low-level combat power to surround top professionals, the combat power of the puppet legion is truly terrifying!

And that knowledge.

The conditions for the Rodriguez family to recruit family knights are very harsh, and all of them are elites of the same rank.

Most of these noble knights have the experience of studying in major alchemy academies, and they have collected a lot of various knowledge.

This is the most satisfying harvest for Su Lun so far.

......

Su Lun was thinking when, at this moment, the sound of newsboys wailing downstairs.

He opened the window, tossed a few coins, and returned a few newspapers.

After looking at it, sure enough, he was on the front page of the newspaper again.

The title of "Queen's Metropolis Daily" is: The outlaw "Death" makes a riot in Lington, murdering high-ranking nobles, and committing a heinous crime.

The headline of the "Lingdon Daily" was: "Death" appeared in Queens, fought with major gangs in Lington, and broke through the scene of a noble member who brutally sucked the blood of a young girl;

The sponsors behind several newspapers are different, and the tone of description is also different.

The Rodriguez family newspapers naturally condemned him, but they avoided mentioning anything about Augustus.

The Lance family's "Lingdon Daily" published in detail the scene photos of Su Lun taking Augustus's distortion and sucking the blood of a young girl in the alien space.

Augustus was in a hurry to continue his life, and let the gang kidnap a large number of young professional girls, which caused a lot of trouble.

Yesterday, Su Lun gave the Lance family all the surviving girls that she had rescued to Sabina.

Now that there are photos, there are survivors, I think the Rodriguez family will definitely have a headache.

Political enemies will not miss such a good opportunity, and Lington's political situation will inevitably fluctuate greatly.

Suren didn't care about the things he couldn't interfere with. He quickly flipped through all the newspapers and saw another piece of news that he cared about: S-level wanted criminal "Judger of Hell" Jerome Orfast, brutally murdered Thousands of people are wanted in the city!

Although the black-and-white photo of the picture was a little blurry, Su Lun looked at the guy in the form of a flame demon and immediately recognized that it was an old cowboy.

However, it seems that it is not the second death state when he left yesterday, but the more exaggerated Demon Lord.

I don't know how many times it became like that after dying.

Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief: "The old man is not dead yet."

After carefully reading the contents of the newspaper, he also realized that after the old cowboy helped him hold off "correction lawyer" Aimo yesterday, he returned to Parrot Street and almost killed all those gang members.

Then, before the newspaper was printed last night, blood was also made to wash the headquarters of several large slave companies such as the "Sun Slave Chamber of Commerce Headquarters" and the "Narwhal Company".

Su Lun looked at the death list. Several big slave traders and arms dealers were killed, which is why the movement was so loud.

Only then did Su Lun understand why the old cowboy said "a lot of people will die".

This kind of killing is probably related to his ability.

......

After reading the newspaper, Su Lun had a general understanding of the aftermath of yesterday's movement.

Sabina didn't contact her, which meant that there was nothing particularly important.

At this time, he took out the ring of [Lilith's Vampire].

There was a big commotion, and I must avoid the limelight these days, so I just advanced.

This rental house is also safe enough.

Three blocks away is the Library of Congress, where Mr. Black is.

If someone really wants to come to the door, there are also people who can immediately support.

It is also the hiding place that Su Lun deliberately chose before.

After recovering for a night, he was in good condition, and the success rate of fusion curse materials was identified, which was 1.5 percentage points higher than yesterday.

This increase in probability is probably due to digesting that knowledge and understanding the rules more deeply.

Then there is Dr. Banks's potion, and the distortion probability is less than 8%, which is completely worth a try.

Su Lun put Uncle Crow on the balcony, put away the bed, made room, and began to arrange an advanced alchemy array.

The alchemy array required to advance to the sixth-order is very complicated. Usually, the fifth-order professional at this step needs to invite some master-level magicians to help arrange it.

But this is not difficult for Su Lun, and the materials are already prepared.

The super-large high-purity crystal obtained from the sea market, the highest-quality red copper, mithril, and agate powder bought in the Lingdun alchemy market, and the seventh-order Warcraft blood as a reconciling agent...

Everything is to get the best material, there is almost no possibility of failure due to material.

In a short time, he has already arranged the seven-pointed star formation for the advanced professional.

Then Su Lun stood naked in the center of the formation, put on the vampire ring, and chanted the ritualistic universal incantation of alchemy: "Follow the law of equal exchange of all things, praise the glory of the original creator, use alchemy Witness the miracle of creation..."

For a while, the alchemy array lit up.

......

The real shock caused by Suren's killing of Augustus yesterday was far more turbulent than in the newspapers.

From last night to the present, there has been a surging tide in Lingdun, the royal family, the military intelligence service, the police station, and various forces, big and small.

I don't know how many corpses sank overnight in the Rocco Valen River.

Rodriguez is still chaotic over the assassination of his ancestor; William of the Regard family is also investigating who the "big man" who obstructed the official action is; the justice of Raphael is busy nibbling away the turmoil. of Congressional seats, drafting a new armament bill; MI and Lington Police Department are busy chasing murderers...

Just when all the forces in Lingdun were busy in a mess, Ekaterina had already taken a locomotive to an inconspicuous villa in Nancheng.

After getting out of the car, she tidied up her long black dress and walked towards the house after seeing that there was no rudeness.

Without waiting for any entourage, Ekaterina stepped up the steps and rang the doorbell.

"Ding dong~"

The doorbell rang, and a middle-aged woman who looked like a housekeeper opened the door, made a welcome gesture, and said, "Oh, Miss Ekaterina, you are here~ Please come inside, the master is waiting for you on the second floor. What about chess?"

"Um."

Ekaterina also nodded politely to the housekeeper before entering the room.

There are no other servants in the house, and the decoration is very ordinary. It's just the mountains of books that make it seem like the owner of the house would be a very knowledgeable person.

Probably because the old man was afraid of the cold, firewood was burning in the fireplace during the day, crackling.

After walking a few steps, the moment Ekaterina stepped on the stairs on the second floor, her expression changed for a moment, and she found that her mood fluctuated rarely.

Since entering the Holy Land, such uncertain wandering thoughts have never passed.

The strange color subsided for a moment, and she calmly continued to go upstairs.

Going upstairs, I happened to look at the small table beside the bed, an old man with a gray beard was studying the endgame on the chessboard with great interest.

Ekaterina's eyes flashed a different color.

She also did not expect that the old man who had refused anyone to visit for several years actually agreed to his request for a visit.

At the same time, the old man also looked over, a pair of wise turbid eyes filled with a kind smile, and greeted: "Katyusha, come, accompany the old man in the next game."

Hearing this greeting, Ekaterina seemed to return to the scene ten years ago, when the ignorant little girl followed her father to visit but messed up the old man's study.

She smiled and said, "Okay, Grandpa Pierre."

......

The housekeeper brought tea,

Katyusha sat opposite the old man, and the two set up their pieces and started the game.

On the black and white chessboard, the exquisite crystal pieces fell step by step, with a clanging sound.

Time is slow and peaceful.

One old and one young, you come and go.

Ekaterina played very seriously.

That pretty face sometimes frowned and thought deeply, sometimes rejoiced, and sometimes made a fuss about his own bad move... just like an innocent little girl.

In front of this old man, she did not have any pretense.

After one round, another round.

Ekaterina did not show any impatience, she watched carefully, and chatted with the old man about trivial matters.

But most of the time, she was listening quietly, and the old man was talking in a hurry.

"Girl's chess skills are getting better and better... Not bad, she's sharp and has a long-term layout. Even though she's a woman, no one can match her chess skills."

"Grandpa, you have won the prize."

"I saw that young man yesterday, girl, your vision is really good."

"Katyusha didn't expect that you would help him."

"Haha, it's rare to meet a good young man. Besides, if I don't help, he'll be fine. Just be a good man."

"≧???≦."

"By the way, Katyusha, is your grandmother doing okay recently?"

"She... has passed away."

"Why didn't I hear you guys talking about it? Oh, there are only three or two of my old friends. She's gone. I should take her for a ride anyway."

"Sorry, grandpa. Grandma and grandma went to Shanyin and said they were going to see an old friend. The old family didn't want to let others know, so they didn't tell anyone."

"Oh, that's it. Then I know who it is... I almost forgot, when she was in the academy, she was very close to a commoner boy. At that time, many people in our academy were envious. Well. After so many years, she hasn't forgotten."

"Grandma went to Shanyin before. She said that she was most reluctant to part with a few old friends of Lingdun. She originally wanted to see you, but she didn't want to come because she was afraid that it would be the last time. She just left. simply."

"Well, that's her character."

"Ah...grandmother told me some little secrets. She said that Grandpa Pierre had a duel for her when you were young. Then you got beaten up."

"Hahaha, she told you all these embarrassing things about me? Oh, I remember it was more than 80 years ago, it seems to be the summer of Lu Yingli 915..."

"Oh, after she leaves, the old man has less to be remembered in this world. The friends around him have left one after another, just like someone has taken away one care after another in your life, In the end, there seems to be nothing to remember."

"Girl, you won't despise my old man's nagging, will you?"

"No. Grandpa Pierre, do you want to know a secret?"

"Oh, let's hear it?"

"When I was a child, I secretly read my grandmother's diary, and she praised you in the diary for being handsome and personable."

"Really? Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have been desperate."

"But, she said, she doesn't like you either. Because you don't understand poetry. She also said that the world in your eyes is too high for people to touch."

"Hahaha..."

"..."

Smiling, there was a little sparkle in the old man's eyes.

Unconsciously, in those conversations, I looked back on my life.

When I think about it now, it's still clear, and it's just the memory of those old friends.

While chatting, the old man suddenly started talking about something else, and asked in a casual tone: "Girl, I remember ten years ago, in this study, you said you wanted to be a great poet. Now, Do you still want to be a poet?"

Hearing this, Ekaterina thought about it seriously, and then responded: "Of course, the dream will not change. But...before that, I think I will become a great emperor. Woolen cloth."

The old man was not surprised when the outsider heard the words that would surely frighten him, raised his eyebrows, and said with great interest, "Oh?"

Ekaterina tilted her head and thought for a while, then continued: "Because of powerful power, a stronger empire can be created."

The old man saw something and smiled again: "But why are you shaken again?"

Yekaterina did not hide her momentary turbulence, and said: "It seems that at that moment, I realized that no matter how powerful the empire is, it will collapse, and only the continuation of civilization will really make sense. Even if the history of countless years later The dust covers it, and it cannot erase the splendor of civilization."

The old man's eyes flashed brightly and he smiled slightly.

Before entering the door, Yekaterina was still a little nervous.

But now, she is heartbroken.

She didn't know why she had a change of mind.

The purpose has not changed, but the mood has changed.

But it seemed that she heard the elders in front of her chatting about some past events. UU reading she seemed to see that after many years, she was sitting here with white hair, playing chess with an unknown junior, and chatting about her own life. lifetime.

At that time, if I look back on my whole life, what can I remember?

The old man said just now: I still have clear memories, and there are still only those old friends.

Hearing the answer, Pierre also showed a kind and satisfied smile on his face. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Girl, before I die, I want to accept a disciple."

Having said this, he paused, then looked at Ekaterina and asked, "Would you like to be my disciple?"

God Ekaterina seemed to have foreseen something, stood up solemnly, and bowed his hands in a master-disciple salute: "Teacher."

This bow fell, and Lu Ying's pattern was different from now on.
