Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 192 Thousands Are Not Thousands

Seeing the black butterfly brooch on Princess Teresa's chest, Su Lun's eyes froze.

He immediately realized that things might be more complicated than expected.

Even the more I think about it, the more my hairs stand on end.

On the first day after time travel, he was in this manor, in this banquet hall, and met a little girl named "Pestoya".

The little girl gave him such a butterfly brooch.

Su Lun once saw the message "???" in the brooch with the pupil of omniscience, so he hid it in a corner of the crypt just to be on the safe side.

Looking back now, he still feels that the act of hiding the brooch was very necessary.

This is a world with mysterious power.

When the Eye of Omniscient identified the "???" information several times, it involved very high-end things.

Although Su Lun didn't know what it was, it was probably some indescribable existence.

Moreover, the current Su Lun is no longer a cognition novice on the first day of time travel.

He also knows now that cursing the people in the space, no matter how real it is, is still a remnant or an illusion.

Generally speaking, even ghost species are NPCs with low intelligence.

But Su Lun has now experienced so many cursed spaces and encountered many monsters, but compared with the "Pestoia" he once encountered, his wisdom is not at the same level at all.

emotion, dialogue, logical thinking

"Pestoia" is exactly like a real person!

This made Su Lun even more certain that the level of the cursed space in [Storm Manor] would be unimaginably high.

Or, very special.

After all, Pestoia has another identity, she is the daughter of Sir Isaac!

At the beginning, I thought this was a weird story, but now that Su Lun has learned part of the background of Dawn City, he realizes that some secrets from a thousand years ago must be involved in it.

So that brooch appears here.

It's getting weirder!

The moment he saw Princess Teresa, Su Lun withdrew his eyes, and then moved his body quietly, trying to avoid the possibility of being seen by her.

When he saw this brooch, he had two thoughts reflexively.

1. The brooch I buried was discovered and dug out, it was just an ordinary cursed object;

2. There is a big problem with this brooch;

Su Lun's way of thinking has always been to think about the bad.

He chose 2.

There's a good chance there's something wrong with this brooch.

He had suspected before that there was something in the ruins of dawn that attracted the princess of the grand duke's family to take the risk herself.

Now it seems that either she discovered some secrets from the brooch, such as a treasure map.

But even if it's a treasure map, she doesn't need to come in person.

After all, the whole underground world is her family's mine, just send someone here.

Either that or she had some reason why she had to come.

Still urgent.

Either way, Su Lun felt that it was best not to get involved.

Looking at Teresa's aloof aura, he also vaguely understood what was going on with that familiar feeling before.

As soon as Theresa appeared on the stage, everyone's eyes focused on the past.

In fact, even in the inner city, those big chaebols rarely saw the princess.

After all, which mine owner's daughter would drill into her own mine if she had nothing to do?

Most of the people present felt that the aloofness on Theresa's face was the temperament that a high-ranking nobleman should have.

But who would have thought that the duke's mansion in the inner city might be just a decoration.

People occasionally go down to the mine to inspect the situation, which is regarded as a gift by these people.

After Teresa entered the banquet hall, she didn't say a word.

But it was this attitude of indifference to everything that excited the group of inner city people in the audience.

Ah. This is real nobility.

One by one, they were not stingy with their own praises, which sounded like whispers, but that voice, they wished that their praises would be heard by the princess.

"Oh, Princess Teresa is so beautiful, like an angel."

"This time I can see the princess with my own eyes, not to mention the ruins, even if I go to die, I will not hesitate."

"Yes. It would be the honor of my life to allow me to kiss her toes."

"Ah! My Warren family will always be the most loyal servants of the Duke and Princess Teresa."

"."

Su Lun always felt very strange when he listened.

It was the first time to participate in this kind of high society reception, and the ethos of praising the lord made him a little uncomfortable.

But fortunately, Teresa didn't seem to have the idea of ​​drinking and having dinner here. As soon as she arrived, she directly entered the theme of the banquet.

The female officer behind her announced: "The purpose of Her Royal Highness calling everyone to the Ruins of Dawn is clear to everyone. The task this time is for everyone to explore the ruins and find something."

Crackling said a lot.

Su Lun listened to the female officer's words, and quickly analyzed some key information in his mind.

Open up wasteland and find things.

Then Teresa is not sure where the "thing" is, and needs to open up the entire ruins.

Then there are tasks, and there are rewards.

From what the female official said, it probably means that any family that can find what the princess wants will definitely be appreciated by the Duke's Mansion and become the number one family in the inner city.

"The major families must arrive at the core city of the ruins on time and according to the route"

Not long after, the female officer finished speaking.

She waved her hand and said lightly, "Draw lots!"

After the words fell, a group of servants came up with plates one by one.

The principals of the major families came forward to draw lots, like cutting a cake, the ruins were divided into more than 30 routes, and whichever one was drawn was the one.

Coincidentally, Miss Leina went up to draw and got the No. 16 lottery.

Number fifteen is the Oliver family, number seventeen is the Clark family.

In other words, on the way to hunting wilderness, there are enemies on both sides.

Compared with the bitter face of Lena's chick, Su Lun smiled disapprovingly when he saw this: "These guys still have some tricks, they can actually play tricks on the lottery."

But that's fine too.

He was still thinking about the treasure in Young Master Danze's hand.

Going to hunt wilderness this time, there are dangers everywhere, and there is a high probability that the young and old will take it with him.

After the lottery was over, Princess Teresa left the stage.

Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief.

The feeling that secretly ached between his brows disappeared.

Although he only saw a familiar butterfly brooch, he felt faint heart palpitations.

The princess left the stage, thinking that a formal banquet would follow.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, maids walked in with silver-covered plates and began to serve the "main course".

When the main course was served, a strong smell of blood immediately swept the entire banquet hall.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking it was some fresh "sashimi"

That Princess Teresa had already left, and everyone in the reception was less reserved.

Someone curiously opened the dinner plate and took a look.

All eyes are focused on the past.

But it turned out to be a bloody head that had been simply pickled!

Not all the young masters and ladies in the inner city had seen blood, and when they saw this, they all turned pale with fright, and instantly exclaimed. But because it was the temporary residence of Miss Teresa, they all covered their mouths, and no one dared to scream out loud.

Someone recognized the origin of the head, and said tremblingly, "Isn't this the youngest son of Mr. Marino's family, the head of the Tessali family?"

Opening the other dinner plates, it seemed that the Tessaly family had all of them.

From old to young, the heads of more than 20 direct descendants of the family are counted here.

Head party.

Everyone was dumbfounded by this terrifying scene.

Looking at the table full of heads, these young masters and ladies in the inner city immediately understood something.

This is to make an example to others.

But they didn't understand why the "Tessali Family" was wiped out all of a sudden.

"Why is this?"

"That's right, Mr. Tessaly and the others actively responded to the wilderness hunt? They also sent a lot of people this time."

"Is it a mistake, or is there another reason?"

"."

There are no impenetrable walls in upper-class circles.

At this time, a woman stood up and told the truth of the matter.

"Hey, I probably know what's going on. Before, Mrs. Tessali was reluctant to let her son go wild hunting, and then she took a chance and temporarily replaced the son of a bodyguard's family as a substitute. She also persuaded me to do this "

As she said that, the lady still did not forget to express her attitude: "I warned them not to play petty tricks, so let's do it now. Just carry out the order of the Duke, and it must be like this."

This said, everyone understands.

What he thought he had done was flawless, but the results were all under the control of the black tower.

This also made those young masters and ladies who originally wanted to play tricks in the wilderness hunt feel a chill in their necks for no reason.

The tough attitude of that Princess Teresa shattered any illusions they had.

For a while, the huge reception was silent.

But

They are a group of people who have worked hard without credit.

As a citizen of Duke Raphael, those who can stand here are, after all, prominent figures in the inner city.

To warn them in such a brutal way?

It seems that this is not a crime worthy of death. The Duke's Mansion doesn't show any sympathy at all. A big family, if it is erased, it will be erased?

Everyone has complex expressions, including worry, anger, incomprehension, and resentment.

But no one dared to say anything.

But the more top families in the inner city, the more aware of the horror of the Black Tower.

Especially those who have heard only a few words about the "uprising" fifty years ago from their elders, they are even more silent.

Su Lun watched from afar. Looking at this familiar scene, he was as shocked as others.

But it wasn't the shocking bloody head feast, but this method made him feel inexplicably familiar!

Same ballroom, same gore.

Su Lun seemed to recall the original scene in front of his eyes, and thought: "Why does Teresa's method feel like Pestoia? Is it a coincidence?"

For a moment, the clues related to the brain were connected together.

He vaguely felt that he seemed to have guessed part of the truth of the matter.

But some places contradict each other, and it always feels wrong.

For example, the most critical question, why did Sir Isaac burn his daughter to death?

Suddenly, a guess that made him feel unbelievable appeared in his mind: "Or. The Pestoia I have seen is not Sir Isaac's daughter at all? If not, who is it?"

The only thing that is certain now is that there must be something wrong with the butterfly brooch.

Thoughts in Su Lun's mind were still wandering. At this time, at this time, Qian Tiao came from nowhere.

The only necessary part of the reception is over, and there is no need for them to stay.

She greeted Su Lun and the others: "Let's go, we're going back too."

As he said that, Qianjo also naturally took Su Lun's arm.

The three of them left the manor, and Reina asked, "Auntie, where do you and Mr. Zorro live?"

Chijo responded, "Rose Hotel."

Lena thought for a while, and seemed to realize that the conditions of the Rose Hotel were not so good, and then warmly invited: "Oh, I just happen to have a vacant room there, auntie, come and live with me~"

As he spoke, he said in a slightly coquettish tone: "It's been a long time since I had a good talk with my aunt."

It's hard for others to find a house, but the silly girl of the landlord's house still has time.

"OK."

After hearing this, Qiantiao naturally readily agreed.

The three of them walked all the way down.

"I got the 15th line, and I will leave the day after tomorrow at the latest. But we haven't recruited the hunting group and mercenaries yet."

"It's not a big problem. You will dispatch the troops from the Cross Society at that time. Mr. Zorro will also go with him. He is very powerful. If you have any questions, just ask him."

"."

Su Lun was listening to the conversation between the two women, but couldn't get in.

As he walked, he was a little curious that this young gambling addict seemed to be used to this lady's dress, so she didn't hear her complain?

After a while, they walked to the "Unicorn Hotel".

Su Lun originally wanted to go back to the Rose Hotel to have a good rest, but Lena also invited him along.

He didn't refuse, and followed him upstairs.

This is a luxury hotel, decorated very carefully.

There are two suites on the top floor, because the young lady Reina lives there, so no one else is arranged.

The size of the suite was several times larger than the hotel room where Su Lun lived before, and it also had a bathtub.

Chijo seemed to be very happy, and the two women occupied the whole room.

Su Lun went to another room.

The bed in the room was very comfortable and soft to sit on.

Thinking about going wild hunting, he probably couldn't take a shower for a long time, so Su Lun also went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Facts have proved that inspirational thinking is most active when people are taking a bath.

There were bubbles on Su Lun's head. When the hot water washed over his head, it was like weak currents stimulating his thoughts, and his senses became clearer.

On the way back, he kept thinking about the "butterfly brooch".

I still can't figure it out now, so I don't think much about it.

Then, he thought of Reina next door.

"Little girl Reina's current situation is really bad enough. According to what she said, the several branch families and the Oliver family in the inner city seem to be planning to completely exaggerate the long house this time. But her father can With such a large foundation in the inner city, there should be more than this means."

Su Lun thought about it.

Maybe the Black Tower wants to set up Reyce's long house?

He knew that Chijo was a member of the "Mirror Organization", and guessed that the Reyes family probably had something to do with the "Mirror Organization".

But if this relationship is really discovered, it should be the umbrella organization.

Or, did it happen simply because the Duke's Mansion didn't want to see too large a consortium appear?

So, the turmoil of Oliver's family was acquiesced?

Thoughts were spinning in Su Lun's mind.

The sound insulation of the room is very good, you can't hear the sound of the neighbors.

But hearing the slight sound of water flowing in the wall, Su Lun also guessed that someone next door was taking a bath.

Probably a thousand.

Su Lun thought.

With a bathtub, the gambling-addicted young woman who likes to bathe will probably have a good soak.

But suddenly, there was a flash of lightning in his mind.

"Huh! That's not right. Sister Qiantiao has become a little strange since she left the manor."

Su Lun suddenly thought of something, and frowned.

If it was in Old Lingdon before, he might not have noticed anything.

But recently, after spending so many days with Qiantiao, the big brother's temperament has long been familiar to him.

When they left the manor before, although they seemed to be holding hands, they were still very intimate.

But Su Lun clearly noticed some subtle differences.

At this moment, he had a flash of inspiration, and he finally discovered why he always felt that something was missing along the way.

Without that soft touch!

The two were already very close, and Qiantiao didn't shy away from Su Lun at all. If it was normal, her carefree personality would definitely be stuck to her.

But just now, they kept a very rational distance.

"The 'Qiantiao' just now, isn't it Miss Qiantiao?"

Su Lun thought of a possibility that terrified him.

But at the same time very puzzled.

"That's not right! The breath and body are exactly the same. It's absolutely impossible to change faces to reach this level."

He is very confident that with his current perception, it is absolutely impossible to hold a fake thousand strips without being discovered.

Moreover, he felt that the strength of the young gambling addict had reached the fourth level, and she would definitely not be replaced quietly.

But suddenly a thought flashed.

Suddenly thinking of the bizarre appearance of the "butterfly brooch\

,"Or some forbidden items with special abilities.

Not necessarily impossible!

"Special talent?"

Thinking of this, Su Lun was no longer calm.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the previous "Thousands" were suspicious.

That is the difference in details that others cannot notice!

Together with this thought, it becomes even more out of control.

If it is as he expected, this problem will be serious!

Who would pretend to be Chijo?

What clues did Heita find to confirm her identity, and this is why she came here to fish?

It seems unlikely.

But with this thought, Su Lun thought of too many strange things.

What if I think too much?

In order to clarify his guess, Su Lun planned to confirm the situation himself.
