Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 44 The Mysterious Man's Peep

After the Tongzilou ambush incident, the turf battle on Green Street also temporarily subsided.

Not only did the Steam Party admit their mistakes and signed the armistice agreement this time, but more importantly, the "Red Devil" Gron became a cadre of the Cross Society, responsible for covering several teams near Green Street. With such a powerful Tier 2 professional, the other side would have to pay a much higher price if they wanted to do something wrong again.

As for the "scythe", the information left by the monster's memory fragments is different from that of human beings. It is vague and simple, with only the concept of forking and turning, but not the space concept of up, down, left, and right. Therefore, Su Lun knew how to find it from the entrance of the crypt, but he didn't know its exact location.

It also means that if he wants to find it, he has to go down from the crypt of Tongzilou again.

Before he had no power to protect himself, Su Lun was not foolish enough to go down again.

Therefore, his goal is to find his suitable alchemy breeding equipment as soon as possible.

He planned to go to the black market to try his luck and see if he could buy more advanced blueprints.

Unless it was a last resort, he was unwilling to go to the guild headquarters to exchange for the silver blueprint of [Thousand Killing Wings].

After all, in that case, exchanging the blueprint will reveal the fact that his body has a high containment value, which may attract the attention of interested people.

Normal people know that, without special circumstances, the higher the containment value, the higher the level of the breathing technique.

As for high-grade breathing methods, most of them are mastered by the top chaebols in the inner city, and even some big families' exclusive exercises.

Su Lun felt more and more that the [Hagham Breathing Method] that the original master had learned was of a very high grade, so it must be invisible.

In a short time, he still intends to be his little transparent.

The "Shadow Alley" black market has an auction with an irregular time every month.

During the auction, wild hunters, mercenaries, and professional thieves concentrated on selling goods, and shopkeepers in the black market would also put up good things and collectibles collected from various channels for auction, so many good things would appear.

On this day, Su Lun got the newly delivered "Old Lingdon Paper" in the hotel.

In an unremarkable wide-angle corner, he saw a message.

【Recruitment Information: Greenham Printing Factory is recruiting 12 workers, with a monthly salary of 2180 lisos, working in shifts day and night.】

The translation is, Sunday and night at 12 o'clock. 2180 is half of the invitation code, and people who often visit the black market have another code in their hands, which is the invitation code when added together.

It is said that each force obtained the code from a different source, not just the same news in the newspaper. If something goes wrong, the organizers behind the black market can follow this code to find out where the problem lies.

It is worth mentioning that "cryptography" is an entry ability for alchemists.

The password in the newspaper is also the easiest to use.

In the last era (a thousand years ago) when alchemy was brilliantly developed, in order to prevent their research results from being stolen by others, and to conceal the secrets of some amazing research, alchemists would chop up knowledge and disperse it in many places .

The content of almost all ancient alchemy scrolls that have been handed down is hidden under the code, and the content must be deciphered to know the content. The purpose is to ensure that those who come into contact with it are truly worthy of it.

Therefore, the phrase "one book opens another book" that Sir Isaac, known as the "Alchemy Demigod" often mentioned in his notes, has also become the motto of later alchemists.

Su Lun asked Kai for a vacation, saying that he was going to visit the black market.

Because of Tongzilou's experience with adversity, he has a special relationship with Kai now, and his leave is also very smooth.

He planned to go to the auction to try his luck, to see if he could find a suitable blueprint for the breeding equipment, and also to see if he could exchange for another rune gun.

After all, [Three-Headed Ghost] is so recognizable that anyone in the gang will recognize it as the gun of the killer "Iron Head" Ivan.

Taking the tram to the intersection of Bird Street in North City, Su Lun arrived here two hours earlier.

After observing that there was no suspicious situation in the surrounding area, he walked towards "Shadow Alley".

There is an auction tonight, so there is access control installed.

There was a small window behind the iron gate, and the toll collector was a strong man with tattoos all over his hands.

Everyone who enters needs to report an invitation code and pay an entry fee of 5,000 lisos.

It cost five thousand before buying anything, which made Su Lun feel a little distressed. But this is also to put an end to the vast majority of guys who just come to watch the fun.

It was not the first time for Su Lun to come to the black market, and he was already familiar with it.

But when I came here today, there were indeed a lot more people here than usual. Most of them were covered with big windbreakers + peaked caps, or hooded masks, mysterious attire.

Su Lun, who was wearing a deerstalker hat, was inconspicuous among the crowd.

There is no specific hall for the black market auction. It is a bit like the "market" of the vegetable market in the previous life. Everyone is looking for their own place and waiting for the auction to start.

It was still early, and Su Lun walked around the narrow streets built with steel frames. He found that the original owner's "Missing Person Notice" was still hanging there on the bulletin board.

But today, in the most conspicuous position, there is an extra red missing person notice.

"If you provide information, you can get a million lisos?"

Su Lun became interested when he saw the bounty bounty, so he stopped and watched for a while.

The black-and-white photo shows a woman with delicate features and a capable temperament, who looks like a work photo of an office white-collar worker. From the photos, it can be seen that she has a completely different temperament from the commoners in the outer city, so she should be from the inner city.

"This is comparable to the amount of reward offered by a wanted criminal. What did the woman in this photo do?"

Su Lun was suspicious and didn't stay long.

While a million-dollar reward is attractive, a high reward also means high risk.

A bounty hunter comparable to an S-rank wanted criminal, he didn't want to be a bounty hunter, even if he really met the real owner.

Su Lun left the bulletin board, and at this moment, he happened to pass by two men in black windbreakers.

Physically, the two seem to be a man and a woman.

As soon as Su Lun passed by, the man glanced sideways, and murmured to his companions: "Hey, I think that guy looks familiar to me just now. Although he covered his face, I'm sure he must have seen him before." .”

The woman in the windbreaker said indifferently: "Half of the black market is wanted criminals, or they have criminal records in the organization. It's normal for you to look familiar. But this is not our territory, so it's best not to worry too much."

The male eyebrow in the windbreaker retracted his gaze, and didn't think about it again: "Yes!"

At the same time, Su Lun, who pretended not to know anything, continued to walk forward, but his face became serious, and he murmured in his heart, "Have you been noticed?"

Just passing by those two people, he also felt an invisible pressure. That is the coercion of rank that can only be felt when facing high-level professionals like cadres.

His current super high spiritual power has made his perception very sharp, and also allowed him to perceive some subtle things: such as the sight of others.

He was sure that when he passed by just now, the man glanced at him from the corner of his eye.

"That guy should have some special ability to recognize something, or maybe it's just curiosity."

Su Lun doesn't think that the bald and eyebrowless self is much similar to the original owner, but in this world with extraordinary abilities, if you want to identify people, you will definitely not rely on your eyes to identify people.

He was alert at first, but after a while, the feeling of being watched disappeared, and Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief.

From the looks of it, it was probably just a casual glance.

He didn't delay too much on the street. He looked at the signboard of "Rosen's Alchemy Shop" by the side of the road, and plunged in.
