Mechanical Alchemist - Chapter 459
The latest website: When Suron harvested Augustus’ memory before, he learned a lot of the secrets of the Rodriguez family, and was also shocked by the wealth of the old nobles that the dukes have inherited for hundreds of years.
The industry of this great aristocrat involves all walks of life, has an unimaginable ability to attract money, and is sitting on a trillion-level wealth.
However, although one of the ancestors of the Rodriguez family has died, the others are still there, and it has to be a long-term plan to move the cake.
And luckily, the old guy didn’t put all his eggs in the same basket. He went by the alias “Williams” and rented a secret safe at the Royal Bank.
There were hundreds of banks in the Luying Empire, but only one with a national brand name.
That is “Royal Savings Bank of Luying”.
This is the small vault of the Bona royal family, Lu Ying’s safest bank, and no institution has the authority to investigate.
And because it can open large anonymous accounts, it is also the favorite secret bank of various invisible rich people.
The headquarters of Royal Bank is located at No. 1 Shenghui Road, the wealthy area on the north bank of the Roquevalen River in Lingdun.
Su Lun put on a luxurious classical suit, disguised himself, hired a luxurious retro carriage, and went all the way to the Royal Bank of Lu Ying.
It was a Gothic building that looked like a church.
There is an underground vault of unknown size beneath the bank.
Because of the detailed memory of Harvest Augustus, Su Lun successfully entered the bank’s key customer hall by means of handwriting identification and password authentication.
After explaining his purpose, the vice president of the bank led him all the way down to the private safe area.
……
“The defense is really tight enough.”
Su Lun followed the middle-aged president all the way to a depth of tens of meters underground by the elevator. Perceiving the surrounding space, this bank vault has a more complicated anti-theft system than the Royal Academy’s collection room.
And the neighbor is the Bona Palace, and there are more dark guards patrolling the nearby streets than normal pedestrians. No thief ever wanted to come here to steal.
Not long after, the middle-aged vice-president led Su Lun to a room full of safes, where the defense restrictions were so exaggerated that it was astounding.
The middle-aged man used the bank key to open the safe with the quaint pattern “No. 1062”, and left after saying a word. Sullen was left alone at the scene.
As soon as the safe was opened, there was a nine-digit alchemy combination lock like a drum inside.
With this series of authentication methods, it is theoretically impossible for someone other than me to take away the contents of the safe.
However, according to the harvest password in the harvest memory, Su Lun mobilized the password of the alchemy lock, and it opened with a “click”.
The moment he opened it, he was immediately caught by the glowing gems in the safe.
Su Lun looked at the pile of top-quality gems, energy spar and magic core, and for a long time he didn’t feel that kind of windfall riches in his heart, and said in his heart: “I’ve made a lot of money…”
The gems that can be placed in this safe are all of the highest quality.
Flawless gems, elemental source crystals, 7th and 8th-order Warcraft crystal cores… dozens of them!
There are also two “cursed source crystals” brought out in the Su Lun warehouse, the unit price exceeds 100 million per piece.
These two were brought from the old Lington, and they were not sold in the market at all.
And this kind of top-quality energy gem is only produced in one vein, and there are more than a dozen “elemental source crystals” of the same grade in the safe.
These top alchemy materials are hard currency and strategic resources in the market, which are in short supply at any time.
There are also those seventh- and eighth-order magic cores, which are essential materials for top-level puppets.
There are eleven or twelve here.
Just this pile of gems is worth billions of lisos!
Su Lun happily put all those gems in the storage space.
The colorful luster in the safe disappeared immediately.
There are two small boxes inside.
Suren opened one of the open ones, and found a stack of thick papers and parchments inside. After looking through it, they were all stock certificates, bonds and bearer certificates of deposit.
“Royal Luying Railway Company”, “West Lane Mining Group”, “Lingdon Water Company”, “Imperial Tobacco Company”…
Seeing the stock certificates of these big companies with Lu Ying’s economic lifeline, Su Lun felt that he saw a hen that could only lay golden eggs.
These lucrative monopoly industries make money even faster and more stable than being a pirate, no different from a money printing machine.
When the empire collapses, these monopoly companies will not collapse.
These things are probably the way Augustus left for Rodriguez.
Even if the family encounters any major problems, with these things, the family can make a comeback.
Su Lun had to sigh with emotion that these top families have been able to inherit for hundreds of years, which is indeed extraordinary.
Because it was a hidden back way, all these bond certificates had nothing to do with the Rodriguez family, and Su Lun accepted it rudely.
He thought about going out and giving these securities to Lena. If he really wants to manage it well, it will bring a steady stream of huge profits. There are also those commercial secrets about the Rodriguez family that he has stripped away, and it will definitely earn him a lot of money if they are controlled by those who understand business.
Su Lun rummaged around again. In addition to bonds, there were some antique items in the box. Some of them have the noble coat of arms of the Rodriguez family. It seems to be an old token passed down by the family.
Suren had little interest in these things, but was curious about their age.
Those stone carvings, the years identified, are actually tens of thousands of years old?
These antiques have a long history, and even the ancestor Augustus didn’t know when they were passed down.
If it hadn’t been found somewhere, then the Rodriguez family really has a long history.
Su Lun flipped through it, and suddenly, a serpentine fragment caught his attention again.
Detailed explanation: Incomparably precise alchemy fragments, only about a quarter of them; the name of the dwarf **** craftsman ‘Iswett Hammer’ is engraved on it; in addition to the smell of primordial matter, you have seen more incomprehensible ** *information;
“I found another piece…”
When Su Lun saw this, his expression was slightly different.
Because he also had a piece in his hand.
Before in the sea ruins, he encountered the soul monster of Francis Drake more than 200 years ago. That guy once grabbed about half of the fragments from the Marfa Empire. The shards are now in the Lesser Netherworld.
Su Lun tried it, and the two fragments were just fine to be inlaid, but it was still about a quarter short of the total.
Originally it was only half, and he wasn’t too concerned.
After all, if the former Marfa Empire was complete, it wouldn’t be half robbed.
Now that another quarter has been found, Su Lun has a little hope.
Thinking of finding someone to inquire first, if there is a chance to raise it, let’s also see what this thing is.
Then.
Su Lun set his eyes on the last treasure chest in the safe.
This is a magical forbidden box with some special symbols that look like rune languages, but are completely different from the rune languages of the alchemy civilization.
It looks like a treasure chest for storing important items.
The identification shows that the function is a kind of magic lock, which requires a specific method to open.
When Su Lun saw the box, he also pondered: “What could be in it?”
This box, the ancient one, even Augustus didn’t know where it came from.
Anyway, the family has been passed down from generation to generation, and no one can open it.
This box, that handle, and that knight training method are all inherited from the Rodriguez family.
Su Lun studied for a while, but couldn’t find a way to open it.
Thinking about it, he decided to go to the well-informed Mr. Hei.
……
Suren finished looting Augustus’ secret vault without encountering any changes and left the Royal Bank smoothly.
Not long after, he rode a motorcycle to the Library of Congress in Franklin.
He walked in familiarly, and then in the book collection area, he found Mr. Hei, who was working hard in the pile of ancient books.
Seeing Su Lun coming, Mr. Hei greeted him: “Su Lun, you are here just in time. I have already deciphered the ‘Twenty-Two Mikutarot Cards’ that you asked me to decipher for you before. .”
When Su Lun heard this, there was also a look of expectation in his eyes. He walked over and sat on a chair beside him without seeing him. He asked, “Oh? Is there really a big secret inside?”
That tarot card was obtained on the cruise ship Queen Rodriguez before. He couldn’t decipher it by himself, so he asked Mr. Hei.
Originally, I didn’t have much hope.
After all, even if Su Lun himself is a master of deciphering, and the pupil of omniscience has not yet deciphered it, one can imagine how difficult it is to decipher it.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Hei gave him a surprise.
Hearing this, Mr. Hei put down the ancient books in his hand and responded: “The deciphered content is a treasure map. It records a place called. There is also a mythical epic, roughly speaking of a certain ancient civilization period. , there is a story about a giant who sacrificed an eye by the spring, and then got some runes. The person who made this card left a treasure map on it, saying that the spring could be found. Oh , there is also a sacrifice ceremony. But I carefully checked and compared, the sea area on the card is an unknown area that Lu Ying has not marked on any chart…”
“This…”
Hearing these plots, Su Lun’s pupils shrank slightly.
Extreme eyes on the edge of the spring…
Isn’t this the myth and legend he saw in the giant ruins in Silent Forest?
The card actually recorded the same story?
To put it simply, Mr. Hei saw that Su Lun was very interested, so he took out the tarot card and said, “You can see for yourself.”
Su Lun immediately focused his attention on the card.
Because he had already deciphered the encryption method, he looked at it and saw a map of the sea area that looked like a holographic projection under the pattern of the Hanged Man on the card.
In the center of the chart is a huge “horseshoe-shaped” island.
Then there are the myths and legends about sacrificing eyes that Mr. Hei said earlier, and a mysterious ritual for obtaining spring water.
“Really.”
Seeing this, Su Lun’s thoughts flew around.
He has never seen the fairy tale about sacrificing eyes in any books, and Mr. Hei said he has never heard of it.
But the same legend is recorded in the giant ruins and here, so things are worth thinking about.
Before Su Lun didn’t believe that this set of “Twenty-Two Miku Tarot Cards” was really the work of the Five Dawn Masters. After all, legends are legends, and merchants who sell these antiquities like to attach some mysterious background to their products, so that they can sell at higher prices.
But now, he really believed it.
But anything related to mythology and civilization is far from simple.
“Does that really exist?”
Su Lun felt that this might be an opportunity closely related to the origin of his talent, so he must go and see it if he has the conditions.
But obviously, the conditions are not ripe.
The chart on this card only shows the scene near the “Horseshoe Island”, probably pointing out that it is in the West Sea.
But just relying on this information to find that island in the vast sea is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Mr. Hei has the ability to never forget. He said that he has never seen it before, so Lu Ying’s chart is really missing.
It was as if a little hope suddenly came, and then there was no hope at all.
Su Lun pursed his lips, showing a helpless smile, and complained, “The senior who drew this treasure map is really trying to embarrass people. If you don’t describe the detailed circuit diagram, how can you find it?”
Mr. Hei smiled and put forward another idea, “Have you ever thought that it is because the sea area is too dangerous, and the person who left the treasure map on the tarot card wanted to prevent innocent people from dying. No specific route is drawn? Even if there is a ship approaching that sea area, the information is enough to determine the location. Now there is no chart, which means that no one has ever approached it alive.”
When Su Lun heard this, his eyes turned and he immediately understood, and suddenly said, “That’s right.”
The current level of navigation in the Luying Empire is not low. Thousands of years of adventurers’ voyages have expanded the empire’s sea map countless times.
But so far, that sea area has not been discovered, which means that it is either extremely remote or extremely dangerous.
No matter which of the two, it is a sea area that cannot be reached by humans at present.
Su Lun sighed slightly again, “It’s another headless treasure map.”
Although this card has been deciphered, there is a high probability that it will eat ashes in the warehouse.
Exploring the unknown seas is not something you want to go to, it may take decades, hundreds of years…
However, the holographic projection-like map on the card also reminded Su Lun of what he got before, and the production method seems to be the same.
Thirty years ago, the One Piece went to explore the unknown sea and never came back…
Thinking of this, Su Lun felt a little pain in the ass.
……
The tarot card thing doesn’t need to be considered for the time being. Su Lun remembered the purpose of his trip, and took out the treasure box with a special seal.
He asked, “Mr. Hei, can you help me see what restriction is on this magic box, can you decipher it?”
When Mr. Hei looked at the box, he immediately showed a very cautious look in his eyes.
He pushed the glasses that were sliding down the bridge of his nose, took the magic treasure box and observed it carefully.
Su Lun watched quietly and did not speak.
After studying for a while, Mr. Hei said: “This is not a rune of the alchemy civilization system. It seems to be a high-level magical script.”
Hearing this uncertain tone, Su Lun was slightly surprised: “You don’t know Mr. Hei either?”
“It’s normal that I don’t know. The river of civilization is as brilliant as the sea of stars, and the knowledge we know is only one in a billion.”
Mr. Hei smiled slightly, as always modest.
But after the conversation changed, he said again: “But I have seen similar symbols on some antiques from ancient civilizations before. Because there are too few in the world, the alchemy world is not sure what it must represent. By the way, this thing you Where did you get it from?”
To this one, Su Lun had nothing to hide, and directly told Augustus’ situation.
Hearing this, Mr. Hei seemed to think of something.
After pondering for a moment, he asked again, “Su Lun, what is the difference between your all-seeing pupils seeing these symbols?”
Su Lun evaluated it again and said, “I have seen some extraordinary characteristics similar to the higher rune language.”
Hearing this, Mr. Hei fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said, “That should be it. This is most likely ‘Dragon Language Magic’.”
Su Lun was also greatly surprised, “Dragon language?”
This is a blind spot where he has harvested so much knowledge.
“Um.”
Mr. Hei nodded, and when he talked about this topic, his extensive knowledge was immediately reflected, “In the mythic civilization, the dragon language was called the ‘four advanced languages’ together with demon language, elf language, and **** language. This is not a text that mortals can touch and understand, because the text of the higher language family is not just a pattern, it is like an alchemy rune, which contains certain laws and extraordinary characteristics. In layman’s terms, the higher language family is like magic Like a spell, it’s magical in itself.”
Su Lun listened thoughtfully and seemed to understand.
After a pause, Mr. Hei gave another example: “It’s like the whispers of gods brought by some cursed things. Ordinary humans can’t accept those words with extraordinary characteristics, and they will be mentally distorted.”
Upon hearing this, Su Lun immediately understood.
He is too familiar with mental aberrations!
Mr. Hei added: “I have suspected that these symbols are related to the dragon civilization before, because most of the antiquities that appear in these symbols are related to some ancient civilizations with giant dragons. But because those artifacts have lost those extraordinary characteristics, the symbols alone It has lost the expressive meaning of the higher language system, so I can’t be sure. And this box is the only magical object I have seen so well preserved, and it comes from the Rodriguez family. It is most likely a ‘Dragon Language Magic Treasure Box’.
After listening to some popular science, Su Lun also had a lot of knowledge, and asked again, “Can you crack it, Mr. Hei?”
Mr. Hei spread out his hands, showing a helpless expression, and said decisively: “No. This is beyond my current level of cognition. I can’t even see the extraordinary characteristics contained in these symbols.”
“…”
Suren shrugged.
Without the pupil of omniscience, he can’t see it himself.
But it was also expected.
After all, the Rodriguez family has tried their best for thousands of years and no one has ever opened it. This box must not be easy to open.
It is said that it is dragon language magic that humans cannot understand, and everything makes sense.
From this point of view, the Rodriguez family’s self-proclaimed “descendant of dragon slaying warriors” really didn’t blow gold on their own faces.
Maybe it’s true?
Unexpectedly, Mr. Hei said again: “But you can ask the teacher. She should know more. After all, the master was once a demigod, and he had seen the dragon with his own eyes.”
When Su Lun heard this, he suddenly said, “Yes!”
Sir Isaac has seen a giant dragon with his own eyes. As his daughter, Mr. Mirror may know some dragon magic?
Su Lun and his senior sister didn’t have the same generational gap as Mr. Hei, so he dialed the communicator directly.
this question,
Mr. Jing really understands some dragon languages!
……
Su Lun came to the Library of Congress and stopped running around, just stayed here.
He has just advanced to the sixth level, and he has too many professionals of the same level who need a person who can communicate with each other.
Mr. Hei is just right. He has also advanced to the sixth level not long ago, and he is a polymath who can solve various problems.
And when Su Lun mentioned that he brought the mirror image hall of the Royal Library into the Little Void Realm, he didn’t make Mr. Hei greedy.
The most important reason why Mr. Hei chose to be this administrator is because he can come into contact with countless knowledge here. While satisfying his thirst for knowledge, it is also helpful for his career advancement.
But although the administrator’s position is very leisurely, after all, there are many chores that will delay some time.
Moreover, the Royal Library has much richer collections than public libraries such as the Library of Congress, and there are also too many high-level alchemy books… It can almost be regarded as the difference between gold and silver.
Mr. Hei immediately said that after handing over some of the intelligence work of the mirror organization, he planned to live in the small void world for a long time.
Su Lun also felt pretty good.
The two stayed in the library, reading various books and exchanging advanced experiences.
Until two days later, Mr. Jing suddenly came to communicate that she had arrived at Lingdun by boat.

I didn’t have time today, so the addition of the leader of the alliance will be delayed.
