Epsilon, in a courtyard with a sign of "Fighting Skills" hanging on the door, Li Qi's figure rose and fell, and the sword light flew like falling cherry blossoms, launching a flowing offensive against his opponent.

The opponent is like an old pine in the wind, only the branches and leaves are swaying, and the feet are not moving. When Richie's offensive rushed to its peak, Lao loosened.

With a pop, the hilt of the sword pressed against Richie's stomach, causing him to roll his eyes and stick out his tongue.

With a snap, the sword body slapped Li Qi's waist and eyes, and the strength of his whole body was like a note, and the whole person was numb and soft.

The sword slid down and hooked on Li Qi's ankle, and Li Qi's body spun in the air for a week and a half, and he fell back with a bang.

Li Qi lay on the ground, his eyes looked at the sky, and he didn't say a word, and his opponent was so frightened that he shouted: "Duke, are you okay?"

"I've been practicing every day, what dark elf janissary swordsmanship, Tuduo royal swordsmanship, and Benuin Wild Sand swordsmanship are all very proficient, why do you still show three flaws in one face?"

Li Qi sat up, frustrated and took off the forbidden vest and undid the martial arts master belt around his waist.

The opponent was a middle-aged man, slightly shorter than Richie, bareheaded, and lean and strong. Strangely, his skin glowed with a metallic sheen, and if he didn't move, he looked like a bronze and iron sculpture.

Demon warrior Dress, one of the slaves of the Sulomon family handed over by Zelder to Richie, although his attainments in physical swordsmanship cannot be compared with the pervert of Cheyenne, he is the best teacher of fighting skills that Richie can find.

"Fighting skills are just the icing on the cake for the Duke, but for us demon warriors, it is the only reliable fighting instinct, which of course cannot be compared. ”

Dresser picked up Li Qi and habitually complimented: "Don't be discouraged by the duke, with the duke's current swordsmanship level, he is also a top swordsman among the commoners." ”

The top civilian swordsman, Finn is not a low-martial world, how can this title be proud!

The next words were not completely complimentary: "Isn't the Duke a holy warrior? In terms of fighting skills, we demon warriors are far worse than holy warriors, and when magicians created our profession, they were modeled after holy warriors. ”

"That...... The Paladin is just my part-time job, and I rarely use it", Li Qi could only prevaricate.

He threw away his one-handed sword and said to Dresser: "In the future, I will still specialize in two-handed greatsword, I just want to learn the fastest and most direct slashing swordsmanship against the opponent." ”

Li Qi has already made his career plan, Qili will only appear when he is teaching the Holy Warrior, and in terms of combat, he is better to switch to destroying talents. With a strong attack power and the ability to merge with Catherine, you don't need Kiri.

Dresses said respectfully: "Okay Duke, I will teach you with Kramer, he is more skilled at two-handed greatswords. ”

Richie's Bilibili Boy rang, and when he pressed the view button, Tess's head appeared at the edge of his vision. When his attention turned to the avatar, a line of text popped up next to the avatar: "Miss Ted has sent a secret letter to talk to the cardinal in the afternoon on the Book of Trade Winds, the exact time is up to you." ”

Bilibili's text messages are now upgraded with graphic and text functions, which are more visual and intuitive, and they are also in AR mode. When the communication network matures, SMS and calls will be merged into a real-time multimedia interactive function, which is exactly the same as the technical presentation that can only be found in science fiction movies and games in the earth world.

This is the work of a certain witch with a visual aesthetic fetish, or the poison after watching the countless movies that Little Red Riding Hood gave them and playing N games.

However, in the Earth world, these technologies are still just fancies, but in Finn, they can soon become a reality. I have to say that in the world of high magic, there is nothing that cannot be done, only unexpected.

"Hathaway is looking for me? Does she know about me and Zold? She probably doesn't know, maybe there's something she wants me to help with. It just so happens that Zold's affairs will be more secure if she catches her line. ”

Li Qi muttered in his heart and replied with a text message to confirm the time.

Then there was a text message from Yuzan, asking him to go to the Ethereal Spirit Center in the Temple of Rose for an interview, and there should be any research progress.

Li Qi fiddled with the bracers, and Dresser knew that he was dealing with things, so he stood aside with his hands solemn and didn't let out a breath.

According to the laws of the Storm Isles, he is now a slave of Richie. Although Richie didn't treat him like a slave at all, Dress, who lived to be in his thirties, knew what kind of boundaries he should guard.

Richie waved his hand at Dress, signaling that today's practice was over. Just as he was about to leave, Drake spoke with some trepidation.

He asked, "Duke, what do you do for me in the future?"

Richie turned to look at him, Dresser only asked this question now, patience is really good, worthy of being a slave.

He said gently: "Is it because you don't have anything to do and are too busy?"

"It's not like that," says Dresser, "we're used to being on the move, always ready for anything, and there's no difference between being idle and not idle." ”

This is a bit of a surprise......

"There might be something for you later," Mr. Richie said, thinking that Dresser was trying to prepare for something to understand.

"Later?"

Dresser also showed a surprised expression, and he said solemnly: "Duke, I am thirty-eight years old, haven't you made the necessary arrangements for my future?"

"Wait...... What you said makes me a little confused", Li Qi was a little dizzy.

What does it mean to be thirty-eight years old, and what does it mean to plan your future?

Then he suddenly said, "Are you talking about wife and family......?" Sorry I didn't know there was such a responsibility, I will ...... as soon as possible"

Seeing the corners of Dress's mouth twitch as if he wanted to laugh but quickly stopped, Li Qi knew that he had guessed wrong.

"The Duke really didn't treat us as slaves," Dressy said with emotion, "and we don't know enough about our demon warriors, this should be common sense." ”

Actually, I don't know anything about it......

Richie blushed a little, Zord didn't explain the situation of the Demon Warrior to him when he handed over Vicky's relatives and slaves to him, perhaps thinking that it was common sense, and Richie should know.

Litch put his relatives and other slaves in Alpha and let them do some light work in the castle, and they were taken care of by Sebadian and Lily, and they were treated well. And the demon warriors in the slaves were put in the Epsilon.

Originally, he wanted to transform the demon warriors through his ears and eyes, but Epsilon was busy with the development of Beta City, and Li Qi didn't care about paying attention to these people at all, so he naturally didn't go into depth.

The only thing he knew about the Demon Warriors was that these people had been drinking transformation potions since they were children, training their skills hard, having a physique that was immune to most of their extraordinary strength, and relying on anti-magic equipment and fighting skills to fight. A well-equipped demon warrior is a natural enemy of ordinary magicians and even transcendents.

"We demon warriors have been physically modified since childhood, and we cannot have children, and we have no ...... about things between men and women Happy, no need for a wife and family. ”

When it comes to crimes against benevolence, the group of magicians is really at the forefront.

"Moreover, few demon warriors will live past the age of forty, and I will live for two years at most. ”

Dressie said slightly bitterly: "So, I want to remind the Duke that if you don't prepare, you will run out of time." ”

Li Qi took a breath and could only live to be forty years old!?

Although Finn's mortal society was still at the level of the Middle Ages in general, and forty years old was already a high life for a mortal, it was a commoner with no supernatural powers.

Demon warriors are transcendent beings after all, and the upper limit of the lifespan of the entire group is only forty years, which is too cruel.

Richie's doubts have not been dispelled, and then what?

"Doesn't the Duke even know this?"

Dressy sighed, "The battle puppet made by the magician, the core of the puppet is our soul." ”

"What!?"

Li Qi subconsciously exhaled, there is still such a thing!?

"As long as you make some preparations in advance for the demon warrior who is about to reach the end of his life, the soul can be condensed into a soul crystal after death. Converting soul crystals into puppet cores can still maintain the characteristics of the Demon Warrior's immunity to extraordinary powers, as well as most of the combat skills. ”

"The preparation is tedious, the process takes two or three years, and if I don't start now, when I die, I will no longer be able to serve the Duke," said Dress. ”

Serve me when you're dead!?

Li Qi suddenly felt extremely resistant, and he said heavily: "I can't accept this kind of thing if a person wants to serve another person forever from birth to death, this is eternal slavery." ”

Little Red Riding Hood snorted in her head......

Li Qi suddenly woke up, isn't this his relationship with Little Red Riding Hood?

But Little Red Riding Hood, are you really honest, you also realized your evil nature and took the initiative to jump out?

Little Red Riding Hood grinded her teeth and said, "What's the matter? It was wishful thinking at the beginning, but now I don't regret giving you the medicine!"

I don't regret it, but don't be so sensitive, it's another thing between us......

Li Qi hurriedly gave in and coaxed her, and Little Red Riding Hood muttered something and ignored him.

"We've been here for so long, listening to the teachings of Lady Crimson every day, though we don't fully understand it, and we know that with the Duke's faith, we would be disgusted with such things. ”

Dressy said in a complicated tone: "But for us demon warriors, it would be a great shame if we could not be made into magic puppets after death. ”

Li Qi Moran, the group of demon warriors, is really a slave from life to death. From their bodies, minds, and souls, they were all twisted into inhuman monsters by magicians.

After a while, he said, "Dress, I can hear you hesitating, you are doubting the values of the Demon Warriors in the past. ”

His tone was very resolute: "I will not make you a puppet core, this violates my basic principles of being a human being, and it also violates my beliefs." ”

Dressy said in a tangled way: "But ......"

"I'll find a solution, Dress." ”

A thin layer of holy light overflowed from his face, because his words were completely from the heart, from his crimson faith, and the divine power naturally erupted, causing Dressy to be stunned for a moment.

Li Qi said: "Prolonging life is the most basic goal, and changing the fate of all demon warriors is the ultimate goal, which is what I and we should do." To liberate all mortals in Finn, such a slogan is still too far away from becoming a reality. But even if I don't liberate the suffering people I see, hear, and come into contact with, the slogan will always be just a slogan. ”

Dress's eyes were red with emotion, but he didn't shed tears, and the Demon Warrior would not shed tears.

He lowered his head and said, "Duke, just to prolong your life, the demon warriors should be very grateful, you can't be an enemy of all magicians." ”

Li Qi smiled faintly: "Why not?"

The next thing to do is to be more or less the enemy of all the mages, but only the ones at the top of the food chain. In the new era, the group of magicians should also have a fundamental change.

"I'll be going to the Storm Islands in a few days, and I'm still thinking about who to take with me, but now that I've decided to interfere with the fate of your demon warriors, you can follow me. ”

Richie walked out of the courtyard after speaking, and Dresser watched him leave, only to remember that he had not responded.

Even though the person was no longer there, he still bowed very solemnly and said, "Yes!"

In the depths of the Great Temple of Rose, in the center of the magnificent hall, the ethereal spirit core crystals wrapped by the magic guide device were suspended in the air, radiating a blue halo, and from time to time beams of light were projected onto the walls of the temple, driving the magic circle to operate.

"Demon warriors? yes, they do some conditioning before they die, and their souls can condense into nuclei after death. ”

You Zan heard Li Qi talk about the Demon Warrior, and said casually: "If it weren't for the fact that we have received so many Void Spirit Core Crystals during this time, I would have to remind you too." The mage's battle puppet core is very valuable for research, and it is completely possible to use the demon warrior you have at hand to transform a few for analysis...... Just think about it, think about it! And they have years to live, and far water can't save a near fire. ”

was viciously targeted by Li Qi, and You Zan realized that he had made an anti-benevolent ideological mistake and quickly clarified.

It's not that it has a low moral level, after all, it was a lich before and then a heroic spirit, and it has only been a human for eight years, and it has no consciousness of being a human at all.

Still muttered unwillingly: "Actually, processing their souls into puppet cores is equivalent to a complete death." Look at the nuclear crystal on it, what does it have to do with the old Rolfon-Gazrien? There's no bit of that guy's will in it, what's the difference between burning a corpse to ashes and using it as fertilizer. ”

Looking up at the nuclear crystal, Li Qi also felt empty.

Just now it was said that it was absolutely not acceptable for the living to be enslaved by eternity from birth to death, but what about this ethereal spirit from the soul of Rolfon Gazrien?

No matter what, if you drill too much, you'll develop quirks. Besides, Fein has Finn's special situation, and it is still the incubation period of the revolution, and the standards are set too high, too absolutely too idealistic, that is, the Virgin, it is left-leaning.

Li Qi said: "Since there are already demon warriors who feel that this kind of thing is slavery, and the flame of revolution is already lurking in their hearts, we cannot sit idly by. ”

Yuzan turned his round head and said, "Okay, from the perspective of our beliefs, it is inevitable to lead the demon warriors to make a revolution, but this is the enemy of all magicians." ”

The words in the front are the same as Dressers, but the rest is different: "But...... Great, I like it! I've been looking at the Storm Isles guys for a long time, and their faces are more sanctimonious than the dark elves. ”

Li Qi returned to the topic: "Okay, let's talk about you, is there progress in the analysis of Madara's Heroic Spirit Purification, or is there something else?"

"No, I've finally completed the transformation of this Ethereal Hub, and now I can test the multi-purpose enchantment on the Epsilon. ”

Yuzan was still in his laboratory form, with several robotic arms sticking out of his round belly, operating on a terminal with countless buttons.

Li Qi said unhappily: "That's it, if Cheng didn't succeed in sending me a message, why did you still ask me to come over?"

Yuzan's head spun faster: "But before we can test, we still have to solve a big problem, which is not clear in text messages. ”

What is the problem? Looks serious.

"To activate Epsilon's multi-purpose enchantment, we don't have enough energy. ”

You Zan said: "Before, because magic technology was not yet developed, there were still few magic tools and municipal facilities, and the divine power, that is, energy, could still meet the needs. But now, to expand the application of supernatural powers, so that magic tools and facilities can be popularized in the production and life of mortals, energy is far from enough. ”

"Now our energy comes from the Divine Power Well, and the Divine Power Well is only recharged by ourselves, the people of Epsilon were almost empty a while ago, and the people who stayed in Epsilon were also very busy, and the Divine Power was consumed a lot, but in order to maintain the enchantment, we had to charge the Divine Power Well, which made everyone very tired. They even gave the terminal where the divine power was delivered a nickname, called ...... The juicer is called a ...... to perform magic on the terminal every day to contribute divine power."

Li Qi suddenly touched his chin and said, "No wonder I often hear them say that there are a lot of people in the juicer today, and I have to pay the public grain today...... Looks like I'm a little out of the crowd. ”

You Zan said solemnly: "Li Qi, generating electricity with love is not a long-term solution." ”
