Andrew didn't know that for Gong Hao, the alchemy experiment was actually the time for him to relax.

In the two years he lived on Purgatory Island, he had to rack his brains every day in order to survive, and he was even more desperate to resist. Even so, risks were always with him.

Killing Neil, killing Piye, and even making deals with Bailey, everything is fraught with great risk.

The reason why he has survived until now is not only by wisdom and hard work, but also by luck.

If Neil hadn't been killed by the pupa of the new tenant who had helped him completely remove the spirit seed from his body, he would have died.

If it were not for the little princess's affection, perhaps he would not have survived the one-year period, and would have been forced to flee on a raft, and eventually die in the sea of death.

If his soul spell doesn't have the desired effect, Pierre may not be able to fall for it, and all plans will come to naught.

If Chakra had chosen to expose him instead of taking the benefits, he would have faced the same disaster now.

There are too many uncertainties for any conspiracy or trickery to be seamless.

Whether it's a flaw in the plan or a flaw in execution, it can turn itself to the ground.

For Gong Hao, it was a war, and he had to defeat an army by himself, an army of an elite level.

Not only does he have to do every job well, he has to cultivate hard, but he also has to look for the enemy's weak points from time to time, and then deliver a fatal blow.

If there's one thing he can be thankful about on this island, it's that his understanding of magic has deepened, and his abilities have improved.

During this period of time, he has continuously deepened his cultivation of soul spells through alchemy, and there are faint signs of breakthroughs, and the progress of his wind system ability has also exceeded his expectations, and there is also a sign of breakthrough.

Only then did he remember what Cross had said, a person with elemental shock ability meant that he had a strong talent in this line.

It's no wonder that he didn't use much effort in wind magic, and he was able to gradually break through.

Although Lancelot claims that hard work is the most important talent, there are times when talent itself can make a person more effective.

Thinking of this, Gong Hao sighed softly and opened the intelligence information about Lancelot.

——————————————————

The Southern Family, arguably the oldest family in the Reims Empire, has a history that is even older than the empire itself.

Speaking of the Southern Family, many people may not understand the meaning of this name, but when it comes to another name - the Rose Family, perhaps many people will understand.

The founding monarch of the Reims Empire, Edie Strick, was one of the most outstanding members of the Rose family. The Rose Legion, founded in the name of Edie Moltzt, has swept across the Northern Continent, won numerous battles, and eventually established the kingdom of Reims.

The Southern family became famous because of this.

But the establishment of the kingdom of Reims and the brilliant achievements of Edie Stricker were not a good thing for the Southern family, in fact, it was almost a disaster.

Because Edie Stricker was an outcast illegitimate son of a Southern family, and Moltzt was the surname of his poor maid mother.

From the day he was born, he had almost nothing to do with the Southern family. In his mind, the Southern family was his enemy, not his relative.

Therefore, after Edie Strick established the kingdom of Reims, the southern family did not become prominent because of this, but suffered from his ruthless suppression.

This repression did not end until Edie died of a recurrence of an old injury, and the Southern family regained its chance to rise.

Edie Strick's death gave the Southern family a glimmer of opportunity. Because the founding monarch of the Reims Kingdom has never had an heir. But he has a younger half-brother named Dan Stricker.

In the month after Edie's death, Dan asked for the throne as Edit's younger brother.

However, this result was not well received by the general public.

Edith's subordinate, Charles, directly alleged that Dan was not qualified to inherit the throne.

As a result, a great battle began between Charles and the Southern family, but in the end, neither one was victorious, because at that time, a man named Georgia Foran appeared, who claimed to be the illegitimate son of Edie, and in this capacity, defeated two teams at the same time, ascended to the throne, and became Stricker II.

It was later discovered that Georgia Foran and Edie were not related by blood, but he was indeed the godson that Edie had adopted.

In this way, Georgia Foran changed his name to Georgia Stricker and began to rule the kingdom of Reims, while the southern family, the rightful royal family, was given a merciless cold shoulder.

Although Georgia Foran ostensibly recognized the royal status of the Southern family, the Southern family received no substantial benefit other than honorary recognition.

In fact, Georgia Foran has always been wary of the Southern family, and does not allow any of their families to have any existence that could endanger them.

This is perhaps the worst and most embarrassing royal family on the mainland.

The people of the Southern family have never been proud of it.

In the course of Georgia's later reign over the kingdom, he gradually had his own descendants, and his own family, although still nominally belonging to the Southern family, was in essence completely different.

Later generations called it the Glory Family.

This is peculiar to the Reims Empire, one country, two royal families.

The southern family, on the other hand, put aside politics and concentrated on business. In order to reinvigorate the family, they put aside their aristocratic status and status, re-established the family management structure, and at the same time recruited business talents on a large scale. Young people with business talents walked into the southern family and became their backbone.

While the blood of the Glory Family is becoming more and more pure, the Southern Family has become mixed and huge because of the addition of a large number of new blood.

These outsiders have re-established the glory of the Southern Family, but they have also made the Southern Family no longer the world of the simple Stricker surname.

One of them, Lot, is the most important surname of the Southern family today.

This surname was originally inseparable from Strick's eight stalks, but now it has a prominent position in the southern family.

Seeing this, Gong Hao's heart was also a little embarrassed.

This can be said to be a history of blood and tears for a family growth.

In order to revive the family, in order to survive, the southern family paid a huge price. They gave up the nobility of the surname Stricker, and through a large number of marriages and excellent young people from outside, they achieved this huge business family.

As for Lancelot, he is simply a replica of Edittrick. His father, Bert Lot, was the acting head of the Southern family and the de facto ruler, but Lancelot himself was also Bert Lot's illegitimate son. The Southern family is very kind to everything else, but they hate illegitimate children abnormally, which may be the result of the Rose Monarch.

As a result, Bertlot's wife, Anita Strick, the current head of the Southern family, resolutely did not allow Lancelot to enter the family.

Although many people with foreign surnames have entered the Southern Family, and the patriarch is no longer the actual ruler, the status of the surname Stricker in the Southern Family is still unshakable.

As a result, Lancelot became an orphan.

As for the specific reason why Lancelot came to Purgatory Island, according to Bailey's information, he seems to have offended someone who should not be offended for the sake of a woman, and Lancelot at that time did not have the current strength, and the big man just waved his hand and sent him over.

As a result, Lancelot was also fulfilled, and he should now be the youngest quasi-saint in the Lance Empire.

If he were to go out now, it would be appropriate for Stricker VI to be polite to him.

I just don't know how the Southern Family will treat this quasi-saint step?

Gong Hao was quite interested.

There is no doubt that Lancelot must be very eager to go home now.

——————————————

"Lord Lancelot. Coming to the small lake, Gong Hao smiled and looked at Lancelot, who came out of the wooden house with an embarrassed face.

There was smoke all over his body.

"Damn it, Huey, why is it so hard to cook?" Lancelot's roar made the earth tremble. After Gong Hao became Hines's assistant, Lancelot never had the opportunity to taste the food that Gong Hao made for him. As a last resort, he could only continue to cook on his own and continue to fail.

"I want to ...... Maybe it's because it doesn't get you the glory you expect. ”

"Do you know what I want?"

Gong Hao shrugged his shoulders: "What could be more wonderful for a star warrior than returning to his own country and walking freely in that vast land?"

"What about you? Do you want it?"

"For me, the oceans of knowledge are endless, and they are so wonderful that they not only allow me to grow, but also to have fun. I won't want to leave here until I'm tired of alchemy. ”

"But for me, it's a prison. You're right, I want to leave every day, but I can't. ”

"Why? You must know that you are already a star warrior, this is a peak warrior, a free warrior, even if His Majesty the Emperor sees you, he must be polite to you. ”

"Force is not everything, and force cannot solve all problems. Xiui, this is something I have only understood after living on Purgatory Island for twenty years. I've learned that just having great power doesn't mean you're going to have a good life. You also need to face life, and you need to face all kinds of problems that cannot be solved by force. You can't rob, be a robber, be a bandit, challenge the laws of a country, and no matter how powerful you are, you still have to act under the rules unless you want to go against the whole world. That's why the powerless can become the monarch of the country, while we, the mighty samurai, can only serve as a human being. We have no power, but we don't have the ability to live, we can only surrender to others and then sell our own force. ”

"There are always people who think they will be the exception. ”

"Oh yes, like that nightmare mage. He had created countless killings, and he thought he could solve all the problems with his strength. He killed tens of thousands of people, and his name was even afraid to be mentioned. But so what? He's a fugitive after all. After all, he could not overthrow a country with his own strength. If he can do it, it will not be a human, but a god. Although his name can make the babies tremble, he can only hide in some remote corner, and cannot come out to meet people in the open. ”

"You're right, Lord Lancelot. But do you think you're any different from that nightmare mage now? aren't you just in some dark corner where you can't see people? The nightmare mage can at least come out when he wants, kill people when he wants, he's at least free, but what about you, my lord?"

Lancelot froze slightly.

Yes, isn't that the same for me now? No, not even as a fugitive.

He thought for a while, and finally smiled bitterly: "No, it's different, Xiuyi." The Nightmare Mage doesn't care, but I do. ”

"Women?"

“...... Yes, Huey. ”

"I guess she's married, maybe already has kids. ”

"That doesn't make me lose the right to love her. ”

"But she deprived you of your freedom. ”

Lancelot stood up, the aura on his body instantly enlarged, encompassing Gong Hao's entire body, enveloping him, and he yelled: "What did you say?!

Gong Hao was not flustered: "Lord Lancelot, I thought I was already your friend, but it seems that I was wrong. I don't know anything, it's just the simplest reasoning. More than twenty years ago you fell in love with a certain girl, but it seems that you have suffered a setback, and I guess you may have run into some insurmountable obstacles, such as a big person, which not only caused you to lose your favorite, but also brought yourself to this island. This kind of story happens every day in the world, and you are not the only one, and you don't have to think that you are the most unfortunate person in the world, let alone think that such a story will take me much energy to explore. ”

The aura disappears.

Lancelot sighed, "Huey, you've always been so smart. If you've guessed everything, why bother asking me. ”

"I just wanted to ask you, if one day, you had the chance to leave Purgatory Island, would you do it?"

Lancelot hesitated.

He thought for a while, and finally said, "Yes, I will." ”

"Then maybe I can help you. ”

"How?"

"Teleportation Circle, you know that's what I'm doing right now. ”

It dawned on Lancelot that this was the case.

That's right, with the teleportation circle, he will be able to enter and leave Purgatory Island freely in the future, and the light of hope in Lancelot's eyes rose with hope: "That's great, Xiui, are you sure you can do it?"

"No, I'm not sure, you know that teleportation circles are a problem for all alchemists. But if you're willing to help me, maybe I can do it. ”

"What do you want me to do?"

"The Door of Space. Lord Lancelot, I need you to take me to the location of the Space Gate. I want to see how it exists, what it is made of, how it works. It's like if you want to build a weapon, you have to see the prototype first, and that's what helped me the most. “

Lancelot gasped.

This kid is a little too bold.
