Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 8 Statue, Altar, Sacrifice

Saying goodbye to a friend you've only known for a few hours and will probably never see again.

Su Lun felt a little depressed.

The surrounding scene suddenly changed, from that luxurious manor mansion to a ruin.

"This is... the remains of the previous manor?"

Although all the decorations in the house have been decayed, judging from the uncollapsed frame structure of the house, this is the manor he stayed in before.

The layout of the banquet hall, corridors, and study rooms is very familiar.

"It will take at least several hundred years to decay like this."

Su Lun felt a little unbelievable.

He felt that he was already mentally prepared, but seeing the dilapidated scene in front of him, he still felt a little overwhelmed.

Could it be that the previous mansion was an illusion, and the Pestoia, Baldhead and others I met were all illusions?

But when he looked down, he was holding a wooden box in his hand, which was the box containing the "rune doll".

And on his chest, he also wore the butterfly brooch embellished with black gemstones.

"Stuff is real."

Su Lun stroked the box in his hand, feeling like waking up from a dream, and then bringing the things in the dream back to reality.

"Could it be that the brightly lit manor just now is a special space like a copy of a game?"

Su Lun looked around, but couldn't figure it out.

His understanding of the world is too limited, and many problems cannot be understood by thinking.

However, now he is faced with another problem: what should he do now?

And the first time, he thought of the information on the retina.

"The original owner came here to find the 'Sir Isaac's relic'."

When he was free, Su Lun had time to carefully read the obscure information on the retina. He also realized that the "treasure" that the original owner came to find seemed to be quite extraordinary.

Coincidentally, he was also very interested in that "supernatural ability".

After thinking about it, Su Lun decided to go and have a look first. He also speculated that there should be no other dangers in the manor. If so, Pestoia should also be the biggest BOSS.

Based on his impression, Su Lun found the banquet hall of the mansion.

Then count down the left hand, and found the seventh room.

The door was completely decayed, and there were some cobwebs everywhere, which looked very gloomy. But the structure of the house is fairly stable. Except for the mottled and fallen paint on the walls, it can be generally recognized that this is a storage room.

Su Lun walked in cautiously. Except for the occasional "squeak" of mice, there were no scary monsters that appeared in horror movies.

He took a panoramic view of the furnishings in the room at a glance, and saw the hexagonal lampstand on the wall.

Find the correct light, turn it clockwise, and then there is a "click" and "click" sound of the machine gear, and a secret door appears.

"It's been hundreds of years, and this organ is still functioning normally."

Su Lun was a little surprised when he appeared in the deep passage in front of him.

Without much hesitation, he walked in.

The passage is probably isolated from the outside air, and it is very well preserved.

After trying it out, I was not stuffy and could breathe normally.

The corridor is made of blue bricks, and there is a wall lamp hanging on the wall at intervals. Although the light from the yellow gemstone of unknown material is very weak, it is enough to illuminate the entire secret passage.

Su Lun didn't dare to touch anything. Since the secret door can be opened normally, the mechanism in the secret passage can also function normally.

The message on the retina specifically warns not to touch anything outside the safe lines.

In this way, after walking for a short time, Su Lun found that the corridors around him became a little weird, as if they were exactly the same everywhere.

He knew that this was entering the maze.

There is a mechanism for visual interference here.

Carving some necessary directional markers in stone on the ground, he continued on.

"After the first fork, left, left, right, up, down"

Fortunately, the correct way to walk the maze was left on the retina, so Su Lun didn't encounter any trouble along the way.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he arrived at his destination, a spacious and airtight stone room.

There is that kind of huge luminous gemstone here, which illuminates the whole room very brightly.

"Is this the 'Great Hermit Altar' marked on the treasure map?"

Su Lun did not step into the stone room in a hurry, but observed it carefully.

In the center of the circular stone chamber, there are five tall stone statues. It was dressed in a cloak, which covered its whole body and most of its face, and looked very mysterious. If you look carefully, you will find that three of the statues have cracks, and only two are still intact.

And behind the cloak of each statue, there is a special symbol engraved:, §,,,

It seems to be some special code name.

What surprised Su Lun was that just looking at these statues, a sense of sacred majesty rushed over his face, making people feel like wanting to worship them.

That kind of feeling, as if being watched by a god, makes people instantly feel that they are as small as dust.

“What a strange statue”

Seeing this scene, Su Lun sighed in his heart.

The world with its veil lifted is revealing its mysteries little by little before his eyes, making Su Lun's desire to find out more and more intense.

There is nothing superfluous in the Chamber of Secrets.

Each of the five statues stands on one side, facing a circular altar with a diameter of about five meters in the middle.

An octagonal magic circle is engraved on the altar, surrounded by some incomprehensible special characters and runes, and in the middle there is an engraved pattern of "Ouroboros" and "Scale".

"This altar hides the secret of the way to obtain the 'talent' of the bald head's bone-hard resistance to bullets?"

Su Lun looked at the carved patterns on the altar, and a look of deep thought appeared on his face.

There is still this passage on the retina:

"My dear Fick, I'm sorry, you lost everything; through deciphering and deciphering, I discovered an amazing secret in the mysterious [Isaac Alchemy Manuscript] obtained from my family: in addition to natural awakening and blood inheritance , In fact, there is a third way, which is to use specific conditions to point to sexual awakening. Although it is only an unproven 'treasure map', this is also the best way I can think of to compensate you."

Su Lun didn't think about this passage, the cause and effect are not important anymore.

He captured several important keywords: sacrificial medium, directional awakening, talent.

It said that after "sacrificing his eyeballs", he "may" be able to obtain a very powerful S-level talent ability. An extremely rare ability that everyone in the alchemy world dreams of.

If it was on Earth, Su Lun would definitely have taken it as a joke when he saw this.

Gouging out your own eyeball sacrifices and gaining superpowers?

Fuck your sister's superpowers!

But after seeing so many extraordinary powers just now, Su Lun thought about this question very carefully.

As for the word "possible", it also has elements of gambling.

Because no one has tried it.

"I remember the bald man saying what his ability to resist bullets is called [C079-Tempered Bone]? 'S-Class'. It seems to be more powerful."

Su Lun weighed in his mind for a moment, wondering how the talent ratings in this world differ.

But if you can get "extraordinary power" like a bald head, it seems worth paying some price.

There are already certain thoughts in his mind that are eager to try.

Moreover, there was another reason for Su Lun to make up his mind.

He also thought about the fact that the background of the original owner was not simple, and the big man who left a message on his retina recognized that the altar was of a very high standard. Perhaps the talent awakened here would be stronger than that "tempered bone" .

Chance, no matter which world it is in, always has an element of gambling in it.

The worst result is to be blind and get nothing.

Su Lun, who had just experienced the battle of life and death, felt that this did not seem to be an unacceptable price.

If you want to get something, you have to give. This is the basic rule that every world follows.

Thinking of this, he raised his eyebrows, and comforted himself: "It's all here. Try it?"
