Chapter 517： library ghost

After soaking in the hot spring and washing away the dust, Su Lun took Mr. Jing back to the Forest of Monsters.

After all, her senior sister is better at negotiating, not to mention that she is also the leader of Dawn.

She met with the dwarf King Barrel Beor, and carefully discussed some pros and cons and the future of civilization. Anyway, the mountain dwarves agreed to restart the covenant without much hesitation.

However, the dwarves only promised to make an alliance with Dawn and did not trust other humans.

Fortunately, Su Lun's Little Void Realm has been exaggerated enough recently, and they have been temporarily placed in it.

Except for the lack of vein mining, everything else is fine.

This group of dwarves who don't like war are hammering and hammering in the small void world, and they still live the life of isolation from the world before them.

Of course, he also helped Su Lun forge a gargoyle by the way.

As for the treasures that the dwarves have accumulated for countless years, they are all temporarily included in Su Lun's Small Void Realm.

All kinds of ores, treasures, forging tools, magic equipment, and even a forge the size of a mountain was moved into.

It can't be said that all of them belong to Su Lun, but if you really want to use them, you can borrow them.

He also felt pretty good, and the Little Void Realm became lively.

The dwarves moved too many things, and it took two days to clean up.

Qianjo went to the seaside, and gathered the people of the Dawn Mission to prepare enough supplies to go on an adventure to Dragon Island; Mr. Mirror returned to the vicinity of the plane passage in Zamblat Falls Province.

On the third day, Su Lun teleported back to the capital of the Marfa capital, Capitron.

Su Lun originally planned to ask Dora about the alchemy manuscript, buy some large mechanical workshops by the way, and recruit some mechanics.

But after I went to ask, I found out that Miss Meat Ticket is also on the front line of the battlefield, and it will take two days to come back.

Su Lun has no other acquaintances in Mafa. Buying large equipment, recruiting mechanics, etc., it is far better to wait for an acquaintance to introduce it, and it will be less troublesome.

And it's not just unacquainted people, regardless of the identity of "Death" or "Fick", they are important wanted criminals of the Mafa royal family.

Too much publicity is not good.

He followed No. 19 to various material markets, buying some scarce materials.

Capitelon is the capital of machinery, and there are many kinds of materials. There is a large machinery market in almost every urban area, and the market size is a hundred times or a thousand times that of Lu Ying. As long as you can afford the price, almost all materials are available.

After waiting for a few days, the lady Dora finally communicated that she was about to return to the imperial capital.

On this day, Suren and No. 19 were hanging out at the Mafa Royal Mechanical Academy.

Agreed to meet the meat ticket lady here.

The two walked on the campus, and it was also lively here.

Because of the plane war, the students on the campus were all excited. Before, there were some Mafa peace mechanics who were unwilling to fight Lu Ying, but now that the plane has invaded, almost all of them have been mobilized. Recruitment banners and parades mobilizing alumni to fight on the front lines can be seen everywhere.

Unlike the students in the Luying Royal Academy who are either rich or expensive, the mechanics here can't see the rich and the poor, but they all have the light of mechanical alchemy in their eyes.

The campus has a long boulevard lined with giant steel sculptures.

Lu Ying's sculptures are all commemorating a "great" nobleman.

And the sculptures on the Marfa campus must be top mechanics in a certain field.

Under the sculpture are inscribed the life and important patented inventions of those mechanics.

Su Lun was also quite emotional when he walked on this road.

No wonder Mafa Machinery has been rejuvenating the country for more than a hundred years, yet it is so powerful. In contrast, the previous Lu Ying was really rotten. I don't know what the future will hold under Ekaterina's drastic reforms.

The two walked, and on the 19th, they also introduced some information about the Mechanical Academy.

She's been here all these years

Thinking of something, she asked casually, "Su Lun, do you have a disciple at the Royal Mechanical Academy?"

Su Lun nodded: "Well. Jike is a genius blaster. He didn't have the conditions to learn and grow in Lu Ying, so he sent Marfa."

He didn't intend to disturb this disciple's study, nor did he intend to let people know that Jike was his own disciple.

But he didn't want to, when the nineteenth heard it, his expression was slightly different: "Jick James? That genius freshman in the ammunition department?"

Su Lun was also slightly surprised, "Have you heard of it?"

"certainly."

On the 19th, he seemed to remember something, and his expression was also somewhat emotional, saying: "As long as there is a talented mechanic in the academy, they will be treated like a star. When I was studying ammunition before, I heard people talk about coming to the academy. A very powerful freshman, he has made a lot of amazing explosives in just a few months. Of course, his most famous one is because he made a special explosive, which blew up the explosion-proof laboratory of the college Then the whole school knew about such a newcomer."

Su Lun listened and laughed.

In Lu Ying's time, Jike bombed the laboratory several times, and was regarded as an alternative at that time.

I didn't want to be here, but I became a star student.

The two walked and chatted, and after a while, they came to the Marfa library.

This is a very large building. The part on the ground is an all-steel and glass structure, which looks very beautiful in the sun.

The academic atmosphere of library management is excellent, and there are many students who borrow books.

Every corner of the bookshelf is almost full of people.

Su Lun walked in and sat in an inconspicuous place, chatting and waiting for Dora to come.

On the 19th, he continued: "The Academy Library was established by Grand Master Lucian Pepys. After he founded the 'Mechanical Alchemy Union', he spent the rest of his life in founding the Royal Academy. The library was also his whole life. Efforts. So there has been a legend for hundreds of years, saying that if you study in the library, you will get the soul blessing of Master Lucian when you encounter difficulties, and you will be empowered."

Sullen: "Blessing of the soul?"

No. 19 said: "Yeah. It is said that more than one has encountered it. Many of the great machinists in the Marfa Empire today have similar experiences when they were studying in the academy when they were young. The students all said, This is a library blessed by the mechanical ancestors. Only the top genius students will be blessed by the 'library ghost'. Of course, because of this legend, there are many grandstanding guys who say that they have been blessed. "

"Oh?"

When Su Lun heard this, his heart became more serious.

For an alchemist, there must be a reason behind all appearances.

If this inexplicable "soul blessing" is true, then there must be a cause.

And coincidentally, he is an expert on souls himself.

Quietly, he held the black umbrella in his hand and felt it slightly, but he didn't find any soul fluctuations.

However, the structure of the library is indeed quite complex.

In addition to the huge surface buildings, there is space several hundred meters underground, where there are some laboratories of the college.

The two waited for a while, and the time just arrived at the agreed two o'clock.

At this moment, a girl in casual clothes appeared at the entrance of the library on time.

Although the appearance has changed, Su Lun still recognized the Miss Meat Ticket at first sight.

Dora also saw Su Lun and walked straight over.

Su Lun didn't pretend not to know each other, and said hello: "Colonel Dora, long time no see."

Dora, however, seemed to be carrying an angry, business-like appearance, and said first: "On behalf of the Mafa Military Department, thank you for the information you provided."

Su Lun was taken aback for a moment.

Although the two are not too familiar, they are not so close.

"Please sit down."

After saying hello, he noticed something and asked directly, "Colonel Dora, is there any misunderstanding between us?"

Dora didn't want to say it at first, but seeing this hateful guy still pretending to be innocent, he was not angry.

She said coldly: "Your Excellency is very clever. Now that your wife has become Emperor Lu Ying, we have a voice in Marfa immediately, asking us to put aside our hatred and unite to fight against foreign enemies, and some even said that we would welcome the Regadi royal family. Returning to China. Although I think it is right to do this politically. But now that the enemy is in front of the plane invasion, can we use less of these political means and let everyone agree to the outside world?"

"???"

When Su Lun heard this, she knew why this Miss Rou Piao was angry.

It turned out to be the cauldron of Ekaterina's proclaiming emperor.

Su Lun had thought of it before, Ekaterina chose the Regardi family as a springboard, and her eyes were not only looking at Lu Yingnii.

The status of the Rhaegardi family is very special, because it used to be the royal family of Marfa.

The two empires of Mafa and Luying have been fighting for hundreds of years, and it is absolutely impossible for the two sides to reconcile. They are willing, and neither will the families of those soldiers who died in battle.

But it is very delicate to have such a royal family from a hundred years ago to reconcile.

An old Mafa royal family became the new emperor of Lu Ying, so the people of the Mafa Empire can accept that they are their own emperors at the inner level.

From this point of view, from the beginning of the layout of Yekaterina, the goal included the Marfa Empire.

Probably want to be the only monarch who unifies the two empires?

Just a sudden plane invasion.

But this layout was something before the invasion, as far as Su Lun knew, it was not necessarily Ye's attention. Such a proud person, even if he has a plan, will definitely not do such a despised act.

There is a high probability that the old things of the Rhaegardi family are in a hurry to return to the country. After all, they have not done anything in the past two hundred years, and there are still many remnants of the old era in Marfa. Now that there is hope, it is natural to make a big move.

But everything is guesswork.

Whatever the truth is, it has nothing to do with me.

Sullen smiled and defended herself, "Believe it or not, this matter has nothing to do with me. I have no interest in politics. Besides, I am Dawn Sullen, and the 'Fick' of Rhaegarland will never appear. already."

"."

Dora frowned.

Hearing this, she looked at Su Lun with scrutiny eyes, as if she had used some method to confirm that he didn't tell a lie. The anger between the eyebrows only dissipated a little.

But she still complained: "It's never a good thing to meet you."

Su Lun didn't care at all. After all, the sequelae of kidnapping had not been completely eliminated.

He jumped to the topic and asked, "How is the battle on the front line?"

Dora's face has returned to normal, and she responded: "The battle situation is very tragic. But for now, it is still controllable. It is impossible to completely solve the problem. The defensive enchantment for the arrangement of the ninth-level magic tower has not yet been established. Develop a way to break it. And as time goes on, the plane channel becomes more and more stable, and the enemy's top magician will come."

As she said that, the worry on her face did not diminish.

Su Lun knew about this situation before, and it is indeed not optimistic.

After all, the plane of the gods is higher than the broken alchemy plane. I don't know how many levels of combat power.

Just like elephants are to ants, they have the ability to crush.

At present, there is really no way to stop it.

After Mr. Jing's calculations, he found that people who may want to alchemy planes are qualified to go out of the planes, and then there is hope of finding a solution to the problem.

"However, I would also like to thank your organization for its combat support. Especially Mr. Jing, there is also hope that the military will cooperate with you Dawn."

Speaking of the war, Dora's face also reappeared with a look of fatigue.

She didn't say any more on this boring topic, and said instead: "Just don't think about that Isaac manuscript for the time being. After your wife became emperor, all kinds of old-time chaos have appeared recently. Now His Majesty the Emperor has doubts about your motives. Even if I am willing to believe you, it is impossible to get it in a short time."

"Um."

When Su Lun heard this, his expression was no different.

At present, he is planning to go to Long Island, and he is not too anxious to get this notebook in the hands of the Mafa royal family.

He thought about it and said, "There is one more thing, I need some mechanics to help me make some accessories for the mechanical castle."

Dora remembered that the two had mentioned it verbally before, so she asked directly, "Where's the blueprint?"

Su Lun took out a part of the blueprint of [Sky War Fort].

Dora's eyes were immediately attracted by the exquisite design drawing. As a mechanic master, she recognized it after reading it for a while, and exclaimed: "Lu Ying's Gusmao airship drawing? You actually have it. This thing?!"

As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to think of something, and changed her mouth with a shriveled mouth: "Oh, I almost forgot. Her Majesty the Empress Lu Ying is your wife."

Su Lun was a little helpless when he heard these obviously sarcastic words.

The airship was indeed given by Ekaterina, but the drawing was his own.

He didn't explain much, just asked: "Can these mechanical castle parts Mafa be manufactured at present?"

Although he has the [Energy Core of the Goblin Sky War Castle] in his hand, Lu Ying's mechanical technology has no way to restore the ultra-high pressure steam power boiler of the Sky Castle on the blueprint.

Dora was not in a hurry to answer, and looked at a few drawings carefully before saying, "Most of them are fine."

After reading the drawing, she rolled her eyes and seemed to think of something, then looked at Su Lun and said, "This drawing should be a very old goblin mechanical castle, I read it right, Lu Ying's Gusmao airship is here. It is imitated according to this drawing. But to drive such a huge mechanical city to fly in the sky, the power required is very terrifying, which is not supported by the current technology, so Lu Yingcai imitated some poor airships. "

As she said that, she saw Su Lun, and she seemed to have guessed that he had key parts in his hand.

But deliberately didn't mention it.

so smart!

Su Lun also saw her thoughts in her eyes.

Mr. Hei has also asserted before that this Miss Meat Ticket is extremely talented, and apart from a little lack of age and experience, she will definitely be able to stand on the top of the pyramid of this world in the future.

Dora thought for a moment and then said, "Can you sell me this blueprint? Any conditions can be negotiated."

Speaking of this, she also knew that her words seemed a bit abrupt, and quickly explained: "I mean, even if we can't build a sky war castle, we can transform the blueprint into a land use, or a mechanical castle at sea! This is for Resisting those plane invaders is definitely a great weapon."

Su Lun was not too surprised when he heard this, and responded: "Yes! But I only have one request, this blueprint must not be used in the war between the two empires of Mafa and Luying. If you can guarantee this, I can put blueprints for you."

"."

Hearing this, Dora immediately fell silent.

She can't guarantee it.

Even if the military comes forward, there is no guarantee.

Although Marfa does not have traditional nobles, the internal situation is not much better than that of Lu Ying.

Years of war, the major arms dealers already have the absolute right to influence politics, and that is a behemoth that their military is often helpless.

They are greedy, ignorant, selfish, and monopolize technology. Many times they only care about their own interests, without taking into account the overall situation.

Arms dealers would like the world to be at war forever if they could.

Dora sometimes hated those arms dealers too.

Su Lun looked at Dora in embarrassment,

But at this time, a strange color suddenly flashed across his eyes, because he found that a very slight soul fluctuation appeared just now.

was found, and disappeared immediately.

"Hey, is there really a spirit body in this library?"

Su Lun let out a sigh in his heart, and thought in his mind.

The way this spirit body appears is very special, and it is different from any one I have seen before. Makes it feel like the whole library is it?

He knew that Dora couldn't make a guarantee, so this blueprint transaction would definitely be fruitless.

Not surprisingly, Dora responded with regret: "Sorry, I can't guarantee it."

Su Lun also felt that he could skip this topic.

Unexpectedly, Dora changed the conversation and asked a new question: "But can I participate in the construction of this mechanical city as a private person?"

When Su Lun heard this, his eyes froze.

What he thought was not the words of Miss Meat Ticket, but something else.

Could it be that the spirit body communicated something to her just now?

So the spirit body has subjective consciousness? "

Su Lun looked at Dora calmly and asked, "What do you think? Colonel Dora."

Dora also knows that it is not convincing to say this in her own, Marfa Colonel, after all, there is a "conviction" of a spy, and she added: "If you can't trust me, I can have some exchange conditions, such as signing a contract. Don't worry, my mechanical skills are definitely not bad, and I also need this drawing."

She was sure that the guy in front of him had complete drawings and some key components.

So even if it is copied, it is not as good as the one in his hand.

Su Lun didn't rush to refuse, but asked meaningfully, "Can I ask why?"

Dora hesitated and seemed to want to explain, but after pondering for a moment, she finally shook her head and said, "Sorry, I can't tell you this reason for the time being. I can only guarantee that I have no malicious intentions."

"Then let me think about it."

Su Lun didn't ask for it, but said, "How about you help me with a group of colorless mechanics who can forge? Of course, I will pay the full amount."

Dora didn't know what to say for a while, she just said, "Okay."

The two talked for a while again, making various side-by-side attacks to inquire about news.

Suren asked about the ghost in the library, and also asked some questions about the Isaac notebook, etc., but got no results.

And Dora also asked some questions about the mechanical limb of No. 19, Su Lun's talent.

After all, he is a professional spy. He doesn't talk about intelligence, he just asks.

The atmosphere of the chat was not too pleasant, but it could be regarded as something for everyone.

While chatting, Su Lun sometimes put his hand on the black rune umbrella. He wanted to perceive what kind of existence the "Library Ghost" really was.

But this move did not deceive the shrewd Miss Meat Ticket.

Dora was also polite to Su Lun. Seeing that he kept her hand on the umbrella, she finally couldn't help choking: "Your Excellency Su Lun, do you want me to hang up your umbrella for you? Open an umbrella indoors, student. They'll think you're a weirdo."

Su Lun knew that he carried a black umbrella wherever he went, and others would never think it was an ordinary umbrella.

He listened to this obviously teasing tone, and without hiding it, he smiled and said, "When you meet Colonel Dora, it's best to take precautions."

When Dora heard it, she seemed to have aroused some unpleasant memory, and retorted: "Humph! I wonder if you have any special 'bad luck' talent. It's always good to meet you!"

"Ah"

Su Lun recalled the two previous encounters, and it seemed that this person was not very pleasant.

But for him, it was a good chance to harvest.

After teasing each other a few times, the atmosphere of the negotiation was not bad.

However, at this moment, Su Lun suddenly froze.

Dora looked at him with a sudden seriousness and thought he had discovered the secret of the library, and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"

Su Lun's eyes became more and more serious, as if he was afraid of being discovered. He didn't even dare to turn his head to look directly at what he found, and said slowly: "This time, you may be right. Big trouble."

Number 19 on the side also had a serious expression and was ready for battle.

Dora also became cautious when she heard it. She suddenly guessed something and asked, "The enemy?"

Now there are not many people who can make this person in front of him say "big trouble".

Think about it, it must be a person from the plane of the gods.

"Um."

Su Lun himself did not expect that he had just released his soul perception with all his strength, and did not find the ghost of the library, but found another person.

It was none other than Frank McAdam of the Celestial Race "Holy Son" whose arm he had cut off in Lington before!

Dora had never seen Su Lun look so serious, even in that "T-class" cursed space.

She asked, "How strong is the enemy?"

Su Lun said directly: "Very strong! Last time I joined the leader of our group and failed to keep him. Now, the ninth-order professional may not be able to do it."

He sensed the fluctuations in Frank's soul.

A few months ago, I saw that it was not so strong, but now it is so strong that it makes people faint.

Before joining forces with Mr. Jing and Qianjo, he broke his arm in a sneak attack, and now you can imagine it.

This guy is definitely a "blockbuster" for plane invasion.

Su Lun took a deep breath in his heart and said, "At ten o'clock, the man 150 meters away. Don't look directly at him, and don't try to spy. He is blessed by the gods, any hostility and prying will be discovered. You If there is any means, immediately notify the top experts to come.”

This is not only for the lady who is opposite the meat ticket, but also for the library ghost.

When Dora heard this, she immediately guessed that it was the wanted son.

She didn't dare to say her name, her lips moved slightly, as if sending out a signal.

Su Lun recognized this guy, but after thinking for a moment, his brows suddenly loosened.

It is not surprising that this guy came to Marfa, after all, the plane channel is here.

But why did you come to the library of the Mechanical College?

But in any case, it is not for himself to seek revenge.

Dora can become a professional spy, and her mentality is naturally not bad.

Looking at the change in Su Lun's expression, he seemed to have guessed his thoughts like a mind reader, and couldn't help but complain: "Hey, hey, hey, even if it's not for you, are you really not going to help?"

Sullen shrugged. "Of course I can. But I probably can't help much now."

The feud for the broken arm last time was not small, and Su Lun didn't think it was a good choice to show up.

Being stared at by a guy who is always blessed by gods, he can guarantee that this Frank may not be killed by others, but he will kill someone Su!

Su Lun didn't care about Miss Meat Ticket's contemptuous eyes, and just reminded: "You didn't think about it, why did he come to the library?"

"."

Dora obviously guessed something's expression changed.

But it seemed that some top secret was involved, and she didn't dare to make a decision.

It's not surprising that a big empire is somewhat top secret, and Su Lun didn't want to really explore it.

However, at this time, a mysterious and distant voice suddenly came from Su Lun's mind: "Little friend, your soul is very special, if possible, I think we can get to know each other. I'm sorry I can't show up, so I can only I'm sorry that you and your friends came here. Please bring my disciples down too."

Spiritual exchange?

In an instant, Su Lun knew that it was the "library ghost" who was speaking.

What made him beside him was that he was actually Dora's teacher?

It turned out that she made an appointment to meet at the library management, which was the reason.

PS. Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass in the new month, please everyone.
