Chapter 120: Flying Against the Light

The social system of the Sovereigns is probably similar to that of a religious-democratic republic.

From the very beginning of their society, they developed a unified and powerful religion, with the priests of the various tribes as the undisputed leaders, and above them there was the supreme high priest.

Absolute power inevitably leads to absolute corruption, and there was a time in history when the bloody reign of the priests reached its zenith.

After a magnificent revolution, they emerged as a religious-democratic republic. The priests still had the right to rule, but they had to be overseen by the National Assembly.

The two sides have gradually achieved a balance in countless years of struggle and bickering, but in any case, struggle is the eternal theme.

The ultimate goal of almost all highly developed cosmic civilizations is the same, to achieve the transcendence of the entire civilization.

It's a desperate goal, and countless civilizations that have reached their peak have taken risks to do so, and the unknown ruins of the universe silently tell the story of the past.

The same is true of the Sovereigns, who have evolved entire civilizations through genetic selection techniques from generation to generation. The initial stage was exciting, and countless geniuses appeared, driving the scientific and technological progress of the entire civilization. However, after a certain stage of development, it gradually began to stagnate.

Compared with other cosmic civilizations, they are developed, and pride began to breed in the whole society, until now.

The Sovereign ship is recognizable, with graceful arcs and golden colors. According to Kora, the Sovereigns have long since achieved a large-scale interstellar drone swarm attack. And a manned ship like theirs usually has strong armor and speed, and is very capable of saving lives.

After all, every Sovereign is precious.

Led by soldiers in blue uniforms and armed with blasters, Li Mo and Cora arrived at a pale gold spaceship conference cabin.

Because of the risk of such out-and-out operations, the mission consisted of only three men and a few soldiers.

The guy at the head is named Yerk, and he wears a crisp golden-blue uniform. The angular facial features and meticulous back make this guy look a little cold.

"Cora, the council has authorized me to investigate you. What explanation do you have for your corruption in foreign trade? "This guy put on a hat as soon as he came up.

"Your accusations are baseless." Cora followed Li Mo to practice cheeky and nonsense skills, and said with a tragic face: "I have made meritorious service for Soveilin, I have shed blood for the high priest, you can't slander me!" ”

Yeke was unmoved, "Then how do you explain the anomaly of the accounts, which actually cost more than 4 million star coins in just a short period of time?" ”

"The Academy of Sciences has already explained this, you should have seen it!" Cora argued.

"I know, of course, that the High Priest's plan is still up for debate. Even so, how do you explain the other expenses? With a wave of his hand, a stereoscopic image bill appeared in the middle of the room.

"What's the deal with this hospitality? Why do we buy huge quantities of office supplies and gifts? And this, why do we pay this guy named Skorch for spending at the "Three Mimi" club? Jeke asked, frowning.

"Huh? … I..."Cora was speechless, she secretly glanced at Li Mo, how should these be round?

It's still a little tender, Li Mo sighed, stepped forward and said righteously: "I can explain this, part of it is used to open up the source of raw materials for Asgard, otherwise how can you get those precious medicinal materials?" And then there's Skorch, who is the head of the palace guard. ”

"What evidence do you have?" Yeke asked.

"Can this kind of thing leave evidence? If you don't believe me, you can go to the Asgardians to confirm. Li Mo shrugged his shoulders, it was strange that they dared to look for it.

"I don't need to look for an Asgardian." A smile appeared on the corner of Yeke's mouth, "As interstellar wanted criminals, you and Skolch are enough to explain that the High Priest has made a serious mistake. ”

β€œshit! Interstellar... Wanted? Li Mo was dumbfounded, what was going on?

"From Xandhar, you orchestrated the riot in Chien prison and attacked the fleet of Cree envoys. Almost ruined the signing of the peace agreement, are you crazy? Jeke said mockingly.

This is what those guys did later!

Why did all TM buckle on Lao Tzu's head?

What do you love!

But what are you bastard happy about?

"It's none of your business whether I'm crazy or not." Li Mo suddenly felt impatient and raised his spiritual scepter, "But I know you... Absolutely going crazy. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Shoot, soldier!"

"Ah~! What kind of monster are you..."

After a while, Li Mo controlled several people along with the soldiers. He sat down in a golden seat, and Cora, who was relaxed and smiled, immediately stood behind and squeezed him on the shoulder.

Li Mo casually picked up an unknown fruit on the table next to him and took a bite, "Say, what's going on?" ”

"The council was aware of the high priest's plans...", the controlled Jeke recounted the incident...

In the struggle for power between the high priest and the council, although you come and go, the general council has a slight advantage.

In recent years, due to the stagnation of the evolution of the Sovereign population for hundreds of years, the focus of both sides has been on creating a new generation of super-evolved humans.

It can be said that whoever succeeds first will immediately achieve an absolute victory. The two sides came up with a name for their project, "Adam."

But the council was overwhelmed, and the plan they had secretly participated in had gone awry: the cocoon from which they had conceived "Adam" had been lost. Due to the loss of technology and precious materials, the council could no longer proceed.

This made the high priest raise his vigilance, strengthen the protection of his cocoon, and simply put it in the dormitory.

The council did not make trouble for the high priest's plan when it was worried that it would be liquidated later, and Li Mo's potion might accelerate the conception of "Adam", which made the council a little anxious, so this investigation was born.

On the way here, the investigation team was even more ecstatic after hearing the news that Li Mo had become a wanted criminal, thinking that he could make a meritorious service, but who would have thought that he would meet a master who did not play cards according to common sense.

"It's so boring...," Li Mo shook his head, "You guys go back and make a report, there's nothing wrong with Cora." ”

"This won't work!" Cora shook her head suddenly, "I didn't expect things to be so complicated, there will definitely be problems when they go back like this, and there are people in the council who are proficient in psychic powers." When the time comes, they may drive unmanned spacecraft to give us endless trouble. ”

"It's a real problem, so what should we do?" Li Mo had a little headache, and he had a headache when he thought of the dense little bee-like fighters.

"I need to contact the High Priest." Cora thought for a moment, then stepped into another cabin.

After a while, Cora walked out, her face much lighter, "It's okay, the High Priestess will keep this matter under control, she seems to be taking your potions very seriously." ”

"That's not it, let's go, let these bastards go back quickly." Li Mo said with a smile.

"That's... I'm going back to Sovereign too. Cora squeezed out an ugly smile.

"Is this the condition of the High Priest?" Li Mo's face gradually turned cold.

"Hmm... Sovereign's xenophobia is serious, and I have already caused dissatisfaction among many. Cora nodded.

"Leave them alone, I won't earn this money, let them try it if they want to come and find trouble!" Li Mo snorted and said.

"No, why not earn?" Cora shook her head, "Actually... Even without the High Priest's order, I'm ready to go back to Sovereign. ”

"Why, don't you hate that place very much?" Li Mo frowned.

"yes, I don't like it either. This time with you has been the happiest time of my life, and I can indulge and do what I love. But somehow, now I feel a little bored and want to get back to my busy life. ”

Cora smiled wryly, "Besides, Sovereign is my hometown after all. Sometimes, you really want to escape, but eventually you find that you still belong there. ”

"Hmm... I get it, as long as you're not forced. Li Mo smiled, "It's normal, a person's life is a process of chasing, and you may not know what you want until you are old." ”

"I'm leaving, will you miss me?"

"No, everyone has their own path in life."

Cora smiled suddenly, walked over with cat steps, and stopped when she was about to reach Li Mo, stretching out her hand and scratching lightly underneath.

First, a noble expression appeared, "Do you want to conquer me?" Then he changed to a baby voice, and said pitifully: "Uncle, do you want to play games with me?" ”

β€œshit! How did you learn this trick from this little goblin? Li Mo immediately couldn't help it.

The two of them frantically got into a rest cabin, and with a wave of their hands, the golden induction door immediately closed...

A day later,

Watching Sovereign's spaceship fade away, Li Mo sighed and turned to leave the port.

As soon as he returned to the rented courtyard, Thor fell from the sky with a hammer.

"Hey, Lee, my friend. I said you'll be all right, and Loki said I'm a crow's mouth. Thor laughed and gave him a hard hug.

I'll just say how it didn't go well later!

The corners of Li Mo's mouth twitched, "Please be merciful in the future." ”

"Did you really have an accident?" Thor scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Forget it, it's all over." Li Mo shook his head, "The Rainbow Bridge has been repaired, why don't you go and see your girlfriend?" ”

"There is a lot of chaos in many places in the Nine Realms right now, and I really can't leave." Thor shrugged, "Besides, I haven't been gone for long, just over eight months. ”

"We earthlings pay attention to speed, and it is enough to get married and divorce and leave a child." Li Mo pursed his lips, "Eight months, she must have thought that you didn't plan to go back, maybe you have already found a new boyfriend." ”

"No... Impossible. Thor swallowed, "Jane wouldn't do that. ”

Li Mo shrugged his shoulders, "I'll just say that, maybe... Probably"

Sou!

Thor wielded his hammer and soared into the sky, heading straight for the Rainbow Gate.

Li Mo shook his head with a smile, turned around and went into the house to make a cup of Asgardian dried fruit tea, lying on the stone recliner in the small courtyard, looking up at the stars and colorful nebulae in the sky.

With a flick of his right hand, the vines appeared in front of him.

At this time, the vines had become dark green, with a hint of metallic luster.

After devouring some of the Destroyer's armor and getting some Uru steel in Asgard, the vines have good energy conduction properties. Coupled with the roots that can extract energy from other dimensions, Li Mo finally has the ability to cast spells.

But because he has no divine powers and does not fit with Asgard's magic system, he did not learn the magic of the queen of heaven, Friga.

The only thing that works is the magic shield.

He had thought about the reason for this, and it occurred to him that the magic shield was based on the rune array on the shield of the elite soldiers of Asgard.

And these soldiers have no divine power because of their bloodline, and they activate the magic shield by activating the energy stored in advance.

How similar to the way you use it.

It's like powering up a pre-made circuit board and using it directly.

And what about the rune array on Mjolnir's hammer?

Thor didn't chant spells when he used the hammer, he was directly infused with divine power, and the same procedure as the magic shield.

Li Mo also tried, but because it was too complicated, it collapsed before forming a circle on the vines, and he didn't succeed once.

Now the vines have good stretching and shaping abilities after absorbing vibranium.

If you permanently burn the rune circle on the vines, can you...

Thinking of this, Li Mo immediately started the experiment.

The rune circle on Thor's hammer is quite complex and belongs to the compound circle.

Some of them didn't work for him at all, such as reducing weight and increasing spirituality.

According to the current size of the vines, only three layers of compound magic circles could be accumulated, Li Mo thought about it and chose flight, thunder and lightning, and destruction.

This is a difficult project, and it is necessary to adjust the energy circuit and the structure of the circle again and again.

Failure was inevitable, and Li Mo's courtyard was completely damaged, and it was damaged with potholes.

But Li Mo has become addicted to it, like the craziest scientist...

Three days later,

Saul came to Li Mo's courtyard with an unhappy face, Jane was really looking for a new boyfriend, and sometimes she met one in three or two days under the introduction of her friend.

This fact made him feel like he was struck by lightning, and he brought up two large jars of wine to complain to Li Mo.

But the sight in front of him made him dumbfounded,

A figure floated silently in the air,

Against the light made him a little dazzling,

"Lee... How did you fly? ”
