My Endless Life.

Chapter 125 The Nature of the Relic

Entering the fog area within the safety zone is not a trivial matter.

After the association learned the truth that someone in the city was affected by the fog, it immediately began an investigation throughout the city.

Jinghua might not be the only member of the Light Chasing Society who sneaked into the city. Perhaps with her ability, she has sent more people in.

In order to prevent more people from being killed and to catch the Light Chasing Society rats in the city, the Association and Maru's exploration team were all mobilized.

Li Qi, on the other hand, had nothing to do. After making sure he was fine, Carol sent him home.

Perhaps because of the guilt for not being able to take care of Li Qi over the years, Carol cares about Li Qi very much. This time when Li Qi was targeted by the Light Chasing Society, she was the most angry.

On the contrary, the person involved was very calm and instead asked Carol about some things that Jinghua said.

such as……

"That woman from the Light Chasing Society said she knew my parents...my parents, are they famous?"

Li Qi asked curiously.

Carol was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and replied:
"I guess so. After all, Gel...your father, is not far from the Black Mist level. If your mother hadn't been in trouble, he would definitely be a Black Mist explorer now."

"So what happened back then?"

Li Qi asked again.

Carol opened her mouth and hesitated for a long time before saying:

"…your mother…was attacked by the Light Chasers."

She just said this, and then...there was no more words.

……

Li Qi's parents, Ger and Chris, were also very famous young explorers back then. Especially the fact that they were together and had a child was something that the members of the exploration team talked about with relish.

Tanwu people rarely marry and rarely have children of their own.

Because they all knew that they could die in the fog at any time, most of them chose to be single, including Carol and Maru.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something amiss between the two of them, yet they have never been together.

In contrast, Ger and Chris, who bravely walked together and had Richie with them, became the objects of admiration of everyone in the exploration team.

When Li Qi was born, the members of the exploration team teased him and said that it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the "darling of the group" at that time.

In order to take care of Li Qi, Ger and Chris also stayed in the safe zone for a few years.

But they were still fog explorers after all. When Li Qi was able to take care of himself, they asked their neighbors to help look after Li Qi, while they went into the fog again to explore.

They had never thought about entering the endless sea of ​​fog. Perhaps they had thought about it before, but after having Li Qi, they no longer had such thoughts.

They just wanted to help Li Qi save enough assets as soon as possible before he came of age, and then retire together and enjoy ordinary people's life with their children.

This was also the purpose of joining the exploration team that time.

But who could have thought that an accident would occur during that exploration.

They encountered the Light-Chasing Society and also encountered the four-layer fog beast attracted by the Light-Chasing Society.

Then...Ger took Chris to the endless sea of ​​fog.

When Carol said this to Li Qi, she omitted a lot of things. Li Qi knew that what Carol omitted might be the fundamental reason why Ger took Chris to the foggy sea.

But Carol didn't say anything. She didn't want to say anything, so Li Qi didn't ask any more questions.

Anyway...what his parents are like in this life has nothing to do with Li Qi.

He wasn't even sure whether he could live past the age of twenty in this life, so there was no need for him to worry about the affairs of his elders.

Compared to these, Li Qi has other things to deal with.

"Get out here if you're not dead."

After Carol left, Li Qi looked at somewhere on the dark street and shouted coldly.

The woman in gray and white clothes, a member of the Light Chasing Society who called herself Jinghua, emerged from the shadows and came in front of Li Qi.

The only thing she had exposed was her black eyes, which revealed something incredible:

"I still don't understand how you found me."

Although his vision, hearing and smell had been disturbed and changed, Li Qi was still able to find her.

This made Jinghua very confused.

Li Qi still had no intention of answering her question. After looking at her, he turned around and walked into the room, saying:
"Come in."

"Tsk, what an unlovable little devil."

Jinghua muttered, her heart full of reluctance, but her body still moved and followed Li Qi into the room.

If you look closely, you can see that there are some tiny silk threads of the same color as Jinghua's gray and white clothes.

The threads wrapped around Jinghua's body, controlling her like a puppet.

That is the second-level relic created by the Magic Cube, the Binding Silk.

It is a relic used to control others. Li Qi used this relic to control Adam before.

But this does not mean that Li Qi will not be able to control Adam after losing the binding thread.

The real way that Li Qi controls Adam is actually the magic of "Silk Manipulation". Under this magic, any silk-like object can be controlled by Li Qi.

Using a second-level relic would simply make it easier to control.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the thing that Li Qi used to control Adam was not the Magic Cube. It was also because of this that he was able to control Jinghua to leave the foggy area.

Things are now very clear. The mirror flower that "died" in the foggy area was just an illusion she created.

After confirming that Jinghua possessed a way to create relics, Li Qi used special means to establish communication with Jinghua and asked her to fake a death scene in front of Ronnie.

After all, Jinghua is a wanted criminal in this world. If she is caught by the association, Li Qi will not be able to learn anything from her.

Carol would not let him get involved in such a dangerous thing. The little girl aunt who cared too much about him, her concern became an obstacle for Li Qi.

So in order to be able to communicate with Jinghua after this, Li Qi could only come up with the idea of ​​letting Jinghua fake her death and then ask her for help later.

Li Qi was not worried that Jinghua would run away.

Because in addition to leaving relics on Jinghua, he also left something else.

After entering Li Qi's room and closing the door, Jinghua asked directly:

"I came as you requested, so where's the antidote?"

Li Qi didn't say anything, but took out a bottle from the drawer and threw it to Jinghua.

The woman in gray and white clothes immediately opened the collar of her long clothes, revealing her mouth, and swallowed up several small pills in the bottle in one gulp.

Li Qi was quite surprised when he saw this: "Aren't you worried that what I gave you is poison?"

Jinghua swallowed the pill and said:
"Anyway, if you don't give me the antidote, I'll die. If you give me poison, I'll die too. We'll both die. What's the difference?"

Mirror Flower looks indifferent.

But Li Qi could sense that her heartbeat suddenly quickened the moment he asked the question. It seemed that she had never thought about this question before Li Qi asked it.

A dead duck has a tough mouth.

Li Qi complained in his heart, but chose not to expose it.

Li Qi's puppet is poisonous. Although this poison is not very useful to the monsters in the fog area, it is very effective against humans.

When he let Jinghua go, he told her that she had been poisoned, and if she didn't want to die, she could only come to Li Qi after everything was over.

Otherwise, she would probably only have three days to live.

As for where Li Qi's poison came from...

What he learned from Professor Drien was not only the making of alchemical tools.

Li Qi also knows how to make alchemical potions.

Jinghua swallowed the pill and used her Qi to feel the changes in her body. When she was sure that the poison was indeed being alleviated, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Qi again:

"I have to say, your methods are very similar to our style. Are you sure you don't want to join our Light Chasing Society?"

Even at this time, Jinghua still didn't forget to sell to Li Qi, which showed that she was very dedicated.

Li Qi sat on the chair with his legs crossed, propping his chin with one hand and looking at Jinghua. He did not respond to Jinghua's words, but asked directly:

"You said you have a way to make relics?"

Seeing that Li Qi did not respond to the invitation, Jinghua sighed and nodded:
"Yes, the Light Chasing Society does have it. My relics... were made by the society."

"A first-level relic?"

"Yes."

Seeing Jinghua nodded in agreement, Li Qi's eyes flashed.

Currently, the relics produced by the kingdom are all level three or four relics, and most of them are standardized. Although they do not affect the contract, the upper limit of these relics is undoubtedly quite low.

It is not even certain whether many of them are relics.

But the Light Chasing Society has actually mastered the method of making first-level relics?

Is it that the kingdom’s technology is too weak, or has the Light Chasing Society already grasped the core essence of the relic?
Li Qi thought about it and suddenly asked:

"Are you able to produce first-level relics stably?"

"It's not stable... but occasionally a level one or level two relic will appear. How about that? Are you interested?"

Jinghua asked again.

Li Qi ignored her and nodded thoughtfully.

If it only happens occasionally, then it makes sense. Otherwise, if the Light Chasing Society can really produce first-level relics stably, then why would they stay in the fourth-level fog area?

Wouldn't it be better to conduct research in a safe zone?

Thinking about this, Li Qi took out a red walnut from his arms, showed it to Jinghua and asked:
"Look at this, is it a relic?"

Jinghua asked doubtfully, "You did it?"

"Don't talk nonsense, answer me, yes or no."

Jinghua looked carefully at the red walnut in Li Qi's hand, and with Li Qi's permission, tentatively put her hand on it.

Afterwards she shook her head and said, “No.”

"How did you confirm that?"

Li Qi was puzzled.

Jinghua replied: "Although I don't know how you made a special item similar to a relic, you lacked something when making the relic, a most essential thing."

"what?"

"life."

"!?"

Li Qi's eyes widened instantly.

Jinghua remained calm and whispered the truth about the making of the relic:

“The essence of relics comes from life, whether it is human or other creatures, only things that are infused with life can be called relics.

“So relics (relic treasures) are relics (things left behind).”

Jinghua said so.
