Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 16

　　　　 "It turns out that I was not shot down by these guys directly, because they recognized the origin of the gun..."

　　Su Lun was a little grateful, and death passed by again.

　　 After more than an hour of interrogation, he gave the last survivor of the "Silver Hand Wilderness Hunting Group" a happy one.

　　 Only then did he understand that this group of guys didn't do anything before because of the rune musket that he wore around his waist—the famous spear [three-headed ghost].

　　 That is the gun of Ivan the "Iron Head" of the Crow Gang.

　　 It turns out that the guy with the bald head is still very famous in the city called "Old Ling Dun". He is a veteran assassin in the Crow Gang. He has a fierce method and will be repaid. Few people dare to provoke...

　　 Seeing that Su Lun was alone, those guys started to seek fortune and kill. But I didn't know the relationship between him and Ivan the bald, so I tried to explore it.

　　Sure enough, people are not rich without windfall.

　　Su Lun got the supplies as he wished, ten more storage rings, and plenty of water and food.

　　 He didn't know the basic price of goods in this world, but seeing the number of alchemy bullets added to the eight corpses was not as many as one person, he guessed it, and the price he paid was probably not small.

　　 However, it must be profitable.

　　 stripped off the two most valuable things from the corpse of the "Silver Robot" Dick.

　　 A strange blood vessel and a bone.

　　【Curse: Blood Vessels of the Tremorous Witch】

　　Quality: Black Iron

　　Detailed explanation: The inaugural materials for the 'gunners' in the Warlock's Mechanical Department; after inauguration, he received a moderate improvement in skills and a small increase in nerve reflexes. The curse characteristics are relatively well preserved, but need to be re-enchanted to achieve the best effect;

　　 Evaluation: 61% physical fit, mediocre employment materials.

　　【Golden Humerus】

　　Detailed explanation: First-order alchemy planting equipment, the gunner has a higher professional fit; it can replace part of the host's bones; toughness +6, stability +153%, and bone firmness +175%;

　　 Two cursed items with intact characteristics.

　　 In Raun's words, each of these two things can be sold at a high price of at least 100,000 Lisos on the black market.

　　 And the average mechanical worker in this world has a monthly salary of less than three thousand lisos.

　　 This is already a huge sum of money that makes people rich overnight.

　　Su Lun was also very grateful for his judgment and killed this "Silver Robot" Dick in the first place.

　　 In Raun's words, formal “professionals” are very strong.

　　 The two mechanical arms of Dick are modified in the direction of the gunner. He replaced both arms with guns and artillery prostheses. Once he was given a chance, he was definitely a humanoid Gatling.

　　 The flexibility of this kind of "prosthetic limb" and the kind of external bone are completely at two levels.

　　 Even if the brain is controlled by the mind, his mechanical arm will automatically activate the counterattack device, which is an ability attached to the plant.

　　Mechanism is not within the range of mind control at all.

　　 As long as Su Lun hesitated a little before, after the automatic counterattack device of the robotic arm was activated, it was definitely him that died.

　　 A few days later, Su Lun followed the route on the map, and finally reached the city called "Old Ling Dun" after encountering the monster several times and almost belching.

　　 This is also known from the mouth of that Raun, the only place where humans gather.

　　 An underground city.

　　 "It's really spectacular..."

　　 Although Su Lun had heard of the "Old Ling Dun" high wall from the population, he was still shocked when he saw the concrete wall that was 100 meters high like a dam.

　　 A city that is not inferior to the main urban area of ​​the capital city of the previous life is actually completely enclosed by such a high wall. This amount of work alone can be called an architectural miracle.

　　Moreover, there are still many scars on the high walls, scratches from giant beasts, craters like meteorite impact, corrosion marks caused by spells...

　　 It is hard to imagine what fierce battles took place back then, and what kind of "existence" left so many traces of horrible battles on this wall.

　　 Yes, this city is also an ancient ruin.

　　 Long before these humans appeared here, it had stood here silently for thousands of years.

　　 The omniscient pupil confirmed this statement.

　　 Su Lun stared at the high wall, and a string of words appeared.

　　【City Wall】

　　Detailed explanation: an ancient city wall built for more than 1,400 years;

　　 Old Lingdon has four huge gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest.

　　 If Su Lun hadn't learned about the situation of the "Old Ling Dun" in advance, he might go in through the main entrance foolishly.

　　 Because that seems to be the only way to enter this kind of city.

　　 If so, then he will be checked at the city gate. If he does not have a "legal identity", he will be censored immediately. The worst result is that the identity of the original owner is exposed, and Su Lun will face the assassination again.

　　 As far as beyond the high wall? No one will choose to live outside the city for a long time except for hunting wild animals.

　　 because... can't!

　　 is like being in a nuclear radiation area for a long time, even if you don't encounter monsters, the manic and strong dark spiritual power will cause a high probability of "distortion".

　　 And the most common monster outside the city wall is the deformed human wandering around.

　　 But in fact, there is another way to enter the city, and that is "gang smuggling."

　　 Su Lun learned a lot of useful information from that Lau En's mouth.

　　 Old Ling Dun is divided into inner city and outer city.

　　 The inner city is a gathering place for the rich and the elite, and the outer city is a civilian area.

　　 Although the entire Old Ling Dun is managed by the Grand Duke Roberto who controls the "Black Tower" and the Raphael family behind him, the actual control of most of the outer city is in the hands of the three big gangs.

　　 There are three big gangs in the outer city, the "Steam Brotherhood" in Dongcheng District, the "Steel Cross Society" in Nancheng District and the "Crow Gang" in Xicheng District.

　　 They also represent the three mainstream branches of alchemy in this world: mechanical faction, fusion faction and ancient magic faction.

　　 The essence of alchemy is "substance equivalent exchange." The "ancient magic faction" possesses the ability to cast various spells like a magician. They are good at potion refining, enchanting and occult.

Although they can cast spells, they don't believe in any elemental gods. Casting spells is not driven by magical laws, but pure energy and elemental fusion, using alchemy laws to exchange and change the form of the elements, or Change the nature of the element.

For example, when alchemy stands on the ground, it will use alchemy to transform the form of the earth element to form the [Earth Spike]; it can also consume more energy and exchange the earth element for the equivalent of the fire element to release [Fireball] 】;

　　 And the "mechanical faction" is also called the new faction.

　　 Their alchemy research and development direction is more used to make mechanical equipment, firearms, mechas, steam equipment... and mechanical curse planting!

　　 The "mechanical prosthesis" that Su Lun puzzled before is essentially a semi-technical product based on alchemy, rather than pure technology.

　　 And the "fusion school" is a synthesis of two factions. UU reading www.uukanshu.com has mechanics who are good at mechanical transformation, and there are ancient magicians who study spells, and there is no rejection.

　　Su Lun cannot use the identity of the original owner, so he has no legal identity to enter the city.

　　 can only choose to join the three major gangs and sneak in.

　　 The bald-headed Ivan killed before was a celebrity of the "Crow Gang", and the "Silver Robot" Dick belonged to the "Steam Brotherhood". Although no one knew that Sulun had killed these people, he thought it was best to be careful.

　　Especially there are still some trophies in his hand that need to be shot, he doesn't want to get into trouble for this. It was like the famous spear [three-headed ghost] of Ivan with the bald head was recognized before, and he was almost killed for money.

　　 "It seems that the only way to join the'Steel Cross'..."

　　 Su Lun avoided the city gate and detoured under a section of the wall in Nancheng District.

　　 looked up, there was already a simple iron cage elevator on the wall to take people into the city.

　　Su Lun had no choice. He wanted to enter the city. This was the only way.

　　 Without hesitation, he walked over.

　　 It's good to join the gang, and there are enough extraordinary resources...

　　 But in fact, most people in Old Ling Dun would rather be a lifetime worker than join a gang.

　　Because... the casualty rate of gang members is extremely high and their life span is short.

　　 They replaced the city security office, and they would also deal with the aberrations, violent conflicts, and hunting missions in their jurisdictions... these involve combat areas, and the casualty rate is very high.

　　 This is a bit like a mercenary who used money to go to the battlefield in the previous life of Su Lun.

　　The chaotic slum management is the most important reason why the inner city "black tower" acquiesces to the existence of the three major gangs.
