Chapter 309 Mechanical Alchemy Body
While Ryan and his party from Black Dragon City were confronting the city guards, somewhere in the high tower of Omar College overlooking the academic hall, a blond young man in gorgeous clothes and several guards were leisurely watching the conflict.
"Your Highness, the Third Commander of the City Guard, Howard, has surrounded the academy with his men. It seems that they are ready to arrest us by force."
"Tsk tsk... Just when I had no excuse to pull out a few nails from the City Guard, they actually brought a reason to my door."
"Your Highness, are those people from the Lopez family too anxious? In my opinion, it is not wise to arrest people from Black Dragon City now."
"Haha, our Queen is not stupid, but very smart. The Royal Academy is her biggest support in her fight for the throne, and she will definitely not watch a mess happen here. She must protect Dean Brendan. And you guessed wrong, they are not going after the Black Dragon City Lord, but the old man."
"Ah? This makes me a little confused...Aren't they trying to capture the Lord of Black Dragon City and use this to threaten Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"No, of course not. I took over some of the intelligence from the Imperial Intelligence Department before, and I learned that the Blackwater Station has an 'SSS-level top-secret file' about this old man."
"Isn't that old man the chief mechanic of Black Dragon City? Intelligence shows that he seems to be at the level of a 'mechanical grandmaster'..."
"Grandmaster of mechanics? No, far more than that. Besides, an ordinary grandmaster of mechanics is not worth my personal trip."
"ah?"
"According to the 'SSS Files', this Tuster Fuernst is a 'Mechanic Legend'. Very few people know this, so most people probably think that the old man is just an ordinary mechanic."
"Mechanical legend?"
"Yes. It is said that the mecha he built has combat power comparable to the 'Ten Legendary' level. He may be a top mechanical talent who has surpassed the 'Grand Master'."
"But, Your Highness... How is this possible! No matter how powerful a mechanic is, his combat power cannot be comparable to that of a legendary transcendent. Even our Omar's top mecha can only reach the level of a high-level transcendent. Moreover, it has many shortcomings. Apart from legionary combat, it can't pose a threat to the top transcendent at all."
"So, I came to take a look. But whether it's true or not, we'll know in a moment."
“…”
The fourth prince Mueller said this and stopped talking.
His expression was also full of curiosity, and he looked at the academic hall in the distance with misty eyes.
After thinking for a while, he murmured to himself, "Tsk tsk, with such a top mechanic and the background of the Royal Academy of Sciences, even if the throne is lost, the Queen's people will have a chance to make a comeback in the future. This move seems to be forced, but it is actually a preemptive move. Before everyone can react, they have left themselves a way out. It's a good plan..."
…
In the academic hall of the Omar Royal Academy of Sciences, the sudden change left everyone stunned.
How come a good academic exchange meeting suddenly turned into a fighting meeting?
However, as it had nothing to do with them, the students and instructors all had indifferent expressions on their faces.
Grand Master Jurgen had a vague idea that something was fishy.
His intuition told him that the murderer was definitely not Ryan and his group.
However, he couldn't say anything.
After all, it is a fact that a high-ranking noble has died, and there is nothing wrong with the City Guard's decision to arrest him.
Originally, in this situation, no matter who they were, even if they were dukes or marquises, they would have to accept the investigation. After the facts were investigated, if they were not guilty, they would be released.
But no one expected that Ryan's attitude was incredibly tough, and he had no intention of surrendering at all.
Furthermore, as soon as he opened his mouth, the guards of Black Dragon City also looked as if they were determined to fight to the death.
This move also shocked the onlookers.
"Are those guys in Black Dragon City crazy?!"
"I'm afraid these outsiders don't know the rules of the imperial capital... If they dare to resist law enforcement, the city guards will really kill them!"
"This is going to cause a big mess..."
"Humph, they really overestimate their own capabilities. If they really want to resist the city guards with just these few people, they will have no chance of survival!"
“…”
Everyone was whispering, some were puzzled, some were gloating.
Others don't understand why Ryan and his men chose to resist the law violently.
This is the capital of Omar, where hundreds of thousands of elite troops are stationed. Even if the "Ten Legends" cause trouble here, they will surely die.
What's more, Ryan doesn't have any legendary combat power to protect him.
They didn't know how Ryan and his group had the confidence to say such things.
Seeing that the battle was about to break out, Grand Master Jurgen stood up with a frown on his face and advised: "Lord Ryan, I think there may be some misunderstandings here. You'd better not be impulsive... I will help you contact Her Royal Highness the Princess as soon as possible. I think the misunderstandings will be cleared up soon."
He meant well by saying this. After all, he felt that if they really fought, Ryan and his group would have no chance of winning.
Ryan shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no need to say more.
These onlookers probably didn't understand why Dean Brendan did this.
Just like thirty years ago, it was not for anything else, but simply for the old man's mechanical technology that was ahead of his time.
No one understands the significance of technology to this era better than Ryan. Tust, a top mechanic, has potential and value that is even equal to the entire Omar Royal Mechanic Corps!
This battle must be fought.
…
Seeing that Ryan and his group were planning to resist, the leader on the opposite side showed a disdainful smile on his face.
They naturally knew that Tust had a mecha with legendary combat power, which was one of the purposes of their arrest.
The two fifth-level extraordinary people came to the City Guard just for this moment.
The mechanic has another shortcoming, which is that it takes time to put on the armor and start the boiler. This process is enough for the high-level extraordinary to kill them several times.
Moreover, they had made a special observation before coming and found that there was not a single top-level extraordinary person among the guards brought by the Lord of Black Dragon City this time.
Once they start, no one can stop them from capturing the mechanic!
In order to avoid giving others a chance to criticize him, the commander did not dare to take the initiative and ordered his men, "Catch them! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
But unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, a gunshot suddenly rang out, and the "bang" sound broke the stalemate that was already extremely tense.
Who fired the shot?
Hearing the gunshots, even the commander was stunned for a moment.
This was strange because the gunshots came from the people he brought with him.
Who would dare to shoot without his order?
Reality didn't give people time to think. The shot was like lighting the fuse of a gunpowder barrel, which quickly set everything ablaze. The musketeers on both sides pulled the trigger in an instant.
Snap, snap, snap…
Suddenly, the noise was as dense as a rainstorm, and the entire academic hall turned into a battlefield full of gunfire and bullets!
And at the moment the gunshot rang out, the two fifth-level extraordinary people reacted extremely quickly. Their mission this time was to take Tust away.
So as if they had discussed it beforehand, they rushed forward naturally at the first opportunity.
……
On the other hand, the person who was shot in the back was none other than old man Tust!
No matter how powerful the mechanics' machines are, their bodies are still weak points, and muskets can cause fatal injuries to most mechanics.
But surprisingly, the bullet hit Tust's left leg, but there was no scene of blood bursting out. Instead, there was a crisp sound of metal touching and a flash of fire!
Not far away, seeing that it was Tust who was shot, Ryan also looked calm, without any panic on his face.
Since he dared to bring the old man out for revenge, he was not afraid of being assassinated.
Because... Mr. Tust's current physical condition is simply not something that an ordinary fifth-level transcendent can kill!
Looking closely, one can see a glittering silver light under the hole in the old man's skin that was broken by the musket. It is not flesh and blood, but a layer of metal like mercury.
This is undoubtedly the ancient alchemical secret that the old man discovered in the goblin civilization. He then combined it with mechanical technology to transform his own body into a "mechanical alchemical body"!
…
The old man's body has been shrinking for nearly thirty years. In fact, he has been researching the technology of replacing the body with mechanical skeletons a long time ago. He wants to replace the mechanic's body with steel machinery, or even partially replace it.
However, because some key technical problems have not been solved, there is still some gap.
The ancient black technology discovered in the Goblin Ruins Headquarters last time just made up for several important technical difficulties.
The physical body has always been the most fatal weakness of the mechanic. Pain, dizziness, blood loss, paralysis... may all cause the physical body to lose combat effectiveness and lead to death.
Even though Tust possessed a mecha of legendary combat power, he knew that without the mecha, a musket could easily kill him.
Steel machinery completely avoids all these weaknesses.
So, he simply used his own body for experiments and tried the "mechanical alchemical body" recorded in the ancient goblin method.
Then, he successfully produced a "semi-finished product".
But it's enough.
Except for some necessary organs, his body tissues have almost been completely replaced by metal mechanical parts. Even his skin is alchemical bionic leather with strong defensive power after being enchanted.
Beneath the skin, there is an extremely hard alloy metal skeleton.
The skull, sternum, limb bones, almost everything that can be replaced has been replaced...
即便是保留的极少数必要的血管和器脏，也都是保护在合金框架之中，根本没有留下任何破绽。不说火枪不伤，炮弹都不见得能打伤他。
The flesh is weak, the machine is eternal.
It can be said that even without wearing a mecha, Mr. Tust’s physical body is now a steel mecha!
…
How fast are the reaction speeds of the two fifth-level commanders?
As soon as they heard the gunshots, one of them rushed towards Tust, trying to subdue this "main target"; while the other was responsible for stopping Ryan and the Black Dragon City guards.
They naturally noticed the flash of metallic luster on Tust's hind legs after he was shot, but they didn't have time to think about it.
Tust's "iron alchemical body" did not belong to this era at all, so the fifth-level commander did not realize what a terrifying existence he was about to face.
A strong wind blew, and a figure approached and appeared in front of Tust.
At the same time, there was a sudden "ripping" sound of silk tearing, as if a monster was trying to break out from under Tust's loose robe.
After a moment of swelling, eight ferocious octopus mechanical arms tore through the robe, fluttering in the wind, revealing their terrifying appearance, and protected the old man tightly.
"What is this?!"
The fifth-level commander was shocked, but he did not stop attacking.
He didn't understand what the octopus mechanical arm that was as flexible as a living thing was, but he also understood his mission, which was to never let the old man in front of him take out his mecha and put it on!
At this distance, he was very confident that a mechanic with a weak body would have no chance of taking out the armor!
Draw the sword and swing it in one go.
The next moment, the leader of the heavily armored swordsmen slashed at the dancing octopus mechanical arms with his sword, trying to cut off the thing that was in the way; and his other hand pinched Tust's neck.
The fifth-level extraordinary being is at the top of the extraordinary combat power. This sharp sword wrapped in wind-type fighting spirit can easily cut through even a steel wall several feet thick.
The sword has not arrived, but the sword energy has arrived.
The violent wind blade sword energy cut a lot of tiny cuts on Tust's skin, but strangely, not a drop of scarlet blood was seen spilling out.
Under the cracked skin, there was also a piece of silver metal. Looking closely, one could see the complicated and mysterious enchanted runes hidden under the silver light. And the sharp sword energy did not leave a single scratch on this golden layer.
The power of a fifth-level extraordinary sword is more than a hundred times greater than that of the musket just now.
But the next scene is even more shocking!
The double-edged sword swung with great force, sparks of fire flew everywhere. Looking closely, he saw that the old man's eight mechanical arms had taken over.
Click, click, click…
The moment the two touched each other, the diamond pincers on the top of the mechanical arm closed quickly like a trap. The eight iron claws locked the sword tightly at a strange angle, making it unable to pull out at all.
The next moment,
A huge force was transmitted to the commander's hand. His face suddenly changed and he cried out in his heart: "Not good!"
Seeing that two mechanical arms were about to capture him , the commander reacted very quickly. His fighting spirit surged, his feet moved quickly, and he decisively let go of his long sword to avoid the two grabs.
"Is this a fucking robotic arm?!"
The fifth-level commander never expected that he would be forced to drop the sword in his hand in panic as soon as he met several mechanical arms.
In his impression, things like robotic arms can be cut off with just a single blow by people like them who are level five transcendents, right?
But how could this octopus-like iron arm in front of me be so hard!
Also, why is it so flexible and powerful...
Questions popped up one after another.
…
Not only the commander who made the move, but also the "expert" mechanics from Omar College opened their eyes wide and showed an expression of astonishment when they saw this scene.
"What the hell kind of monster is that?!"
"Those are actually robotic arms? He was able to flexibly control eight robotic arms without even having to operate them manually. How did he do that?"
"What's wrong with that guy's body? Why is it a metal skeleton instead of flesh and blood..."
"Oh my god, this is incredible..."
“…”
Not only the students couldn't understand it, but now even the instructors were completely confused.
Carl's performance at the exchange meeting was amazing, but it was still within the mechanics' cognition. Omar and his team admitted that their technology was a little behind, but if they were given a few years, they might be able to catch up.
And this move by Mr. Tust was a complete bomb.
This is no longer a question of how many years ahead it is, but rather a realm of “black technology” that is truly incomprehensible.
The more professional a person is, the more they can see how amazing the old man's skill of "catching a knife with bare hands" is.
How can a robotic arm that requires purely physical control be controlled without manual effort?
Or control eight at a time?
Could it be that “thoughts” are over-controlling?
I can’t…
No matter how powerful your mind is, it is impossible to control a robotic arm to compete in strength with a fifth-level extraordinary person.
At this moment, even Master Jurgen, the "Grandmaster of Machinery", widened his eyes.
He vaguely understood the principle of the eight mechanical arms. The metal was a special alloy with high-level enchantments, so it could not be cut; the octopus nodules were a special arrangement structure, so they were so flexible...
But he totally didn't understand why the robotic arm was directly connected to the spine; and where did the kinetic energy come from with such great power?
"There's something wrong with his body! The kinetic boiler is inside him!"
In an instant, Jurgen understood.
The real black technology is not the robotic arm, but Tust’s steel body that has been separated from his flesh and blood!
"How is it possible? How on earth did he do it..."
Thinking of this, Jurgen's face changed.
The more he understood the principle, the more confused he felt.
Finally, he understood the meaning of his disciple's letter: "Tust is the world's top mechanic."
This made him feel as if he had returned to the time when he first came to the academy as an apprentice and looked up to the Grand Master of Mechanics.
Today, he has entered the realm of "Grand Master of Mechanics" and is one of the few people standing at the top of the mechanical field in the world.
But when he looked at the person operating the octopus robotic arm, he looked up again, just like he did back then.
I thought I had climbed to the top of the mountain with great difficulty, but unexpectedly, in the clouds on the top of the mountain, I suddenly saw a mountain that was even taller and whose top was completely invisible.
At this moment, Jurgen was filled with shock and awe for science.
"It turns out that I am still very far away..."
He never thought that in this era there would be a mechanic who could make him look up to the mountains.
At this moment, he felt bitter, yet excited.
A certain belief that had been dormant in my mind for many years suddenly began to boil and burn...
…
Old man Tust blocked the attack from the fifth-order extraordinary person, and Dean Brendan, who had a "sure victory" look on his face just a second ago, suddenly changed his expression!
He also noticed the abnormality in Mr. Tust's body structure.
The technology that was beyond his current comprehension made him feel inexplicably panicked.
The mechanic blocked the attack of a fifth-level extraordinary person with his own combat power alone?
This is far beyond the description of intelligence!
He already knew that Tust had a mecha with legendary combat power, and he had already prepared a countermeasure.
They also saw that the Lord of Black Dragon City was not accompanied by any top experts, and was not with Ymir, so they planned to make trouble in the academy.
According to the plan, even if a conflict occurred, shouldn't the other party be suppressed instantly?
As long as we can capture that Tust, everything will be worth it.
But now, what happened?
Brendan had a vague feeling that something bad was about to happen, and shouted, "Stop him! Don't let him put on the mecha!"
But by this time, it was too late.
…
Ryan had no intention of going up to help from beginning to end. The guards stopped the city guards who surrounded him, making him, the city lord, the most leisurely person on the entire battlefield.
He just stood there calmly in the midst of gunfire, and then when he saw Tust's octopus mechanical arm tearing through his clothes and showing its head, he knew that the outcome was set.
He muttered, "Is it going to appear... Tsk tsk, I'm really looking forward to the combat power of the old man's new generation of 'Deer God' armor."
…
Thousands of shocked thoughts flashed through the onlookers' minds, and only a moment passed on the battlefield.
After Tust used his mechanical arms to block the sword of the fifth-level commander, some mechanical armor kits suddenly appeared on the eight mechanical arms.
Gears mesh, joints twist, buckles engage, mechanisms make crisp sounds...
Before everyone understood what was happening, they heard a series of crisp "click" and "click" sounds of metal touching each other.
To everyone's surprise, what Grandpa Tust took out was not a complete set of armor, but some large chunks of steel parts.
Eight robotic arms worked simultaneously, deftly assembling the mechanical parts like Lego toys and quickly putting them on the body.
Bones, armor, boilers, then cannons, shields, long swords...
Without a fixed mecha form, there is no chance for people to interrupt.
Neither muskets nor magic could completely prevent Tuscaot from manipulating the mechanical arms to put on the armor.
The more parts of the mecha were assembled, the bigger it became. The armor covered the whole body in an instant, and all attacks were no longer a threat.
Soon, a majestic eight-armed mechanical armor appeared in front of everyone.
Even though he had seen the old man demonstrate the new generation of "Eight-Armed Deer God Armor" in the territory before, when Ryan saw the "transformation" process in front of him like a Transformer, he was also shocked.
Ryan's eyes were full of wonder, and he murmured, "Machines are invincible..."
