My Endless Life.

Chapter 526 The test begins

Ephisia had never understood her sister.

I don’t know Li Qi even more.

She thought she lost to her sister because she failed to win Li Qi's love, failed to get the support of the Sarnak family, and failed to control her emotions.

But in fact, her failure was precisely because she did not understand Sophie Yuna.

When Sophiana tried to fight for the position of princess and played sister games with Ephissia, Ephissia never doubted her.

When Sophie Yuna came into contact with Richie and started playing the "sister-brother game" with the young Richie, Ephisia also became full of trust in Sophie.

So in the end she failed.

She was defeated completely, without even the slightest chance of resistance, and was abandoned by the ministers who supported her and exiled to the Federation.

Li Qi thought she had grown up, and Ephissia also thought she had grown up, but now Li Qi realized that Ephissia had never grown up.

She still lives in her own world, trying to fight against the whole world with her innocence.

How could such an Ephisia possibly be better than Sophiuna?

After talking with Effiecia, Li Qi did not say anything more to undermine her confidence. He just stood up and thanked Effie for telling him about it, and told Effie that he had never thought of running away from Sophieuna.

He was just pursuing his dream within the scope allowed by everyone.

Li Qi left the teahouse, and Ephisia, who was still in the teahouse, felt like she had lost her soul.

She sat in her seat for a long time, not leaving until the sun set.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she felt someone standing next to her.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the mechanical legs of the man next to her and the waiter's scarf. She thought it was a waiter and whispered:
"I'll order another cup of tea and leave later."

Ephisia said, picking up the menu next to her.

But she didn't expect that the 'waiter' next to her sat opposite her, which was also the place where Li Qi sat before.

Only then did Ephisia look up at the opposite side.

A humanoid omnic dressed in waiter clothing was staring at her with glowing blue eyes.

"You..." Frowning and staring at the waiter in front of her, Ephisia was about to get angry, but she heard the robot say:

"It's been more than two years. What do you think?"

"!!"

Although the voice was not a familiar one to Effiecia, the person in front of her was not someone Effie had seen before.

But this tone instantly reminded Ephisia of someone.

crunch--

Ephisia stood up subconsciously, and the seat under her feet made a harsh sound due to her movement.

Fortunately, there were no one left on the balcony on the second floor, so Ephisia's actions did not attract much attention.

"Don't be so nervous." The robot raised his hand, and as his fingers slid gently, invisible sound waves spread into a circle. This was a soundproof wall created by a soundproofing device.

Ephisia stared at the omnic for a long while before saying:
"Why are you here? Are you...wanting to die!?"

"My original body is not here, and... I am already at the ninth level. Who in this world can take my life?"

The robot tilted its head, and the screen on its face showed a big smile.

Ephisia stared at the omnic for a long while, then turned and left without hesitation.

Just before she was about to leave the soundproof range, the omnic called her:
"You're just going to leave like that? Willing to give up everything you can get?"

There was some kind of magic hidden in the words of the omnic that made Ephisia stop.

Ephisia gritted her teeth and said, "Get it? I can't get anything, and I can't do anything. I don't understand what's the point of you coming to me for cooperation!"

When Ephissia was sentenced to exile two years ago, the omnics... or rather the people behind the omnics had approached her.

The omnic promised her that it would help her get everything she deserved, and the price was just that after Ephisia obtained the title of princess, she would do something for the omnic... and the Renaissance Society behind it.

Yes, the omnic is a member of the Renaissance Society. Ephissia doesn’t know who he is, but she guesses that he must be a high-ranking member of the Renaissance Society.

The Renaissance Society is a resistance organization and a terrorist organization wanted by both the Empire and the Federation. Even if Ephisia was exiled, she would never choose to cooperate with the Renaissance Society.

At that time, Ephisia rejected him.

After that, this person from the Renaissance Society contacted her twice through other means, but she rejected him both times. Effie never saw him again.

She didn't expect that the other party would be here, appearing in front of her in the form of an intelligent machine, and once again extending a hand to recruit her.

But Ephisia couldn't think of any value she had.

She has become a complete loser, having lost her status, her lover, and even her power.

Why did the Renaissance Society want to cooperate with her?

Ephisia couldn't understand.

"You really have nothing right now, but if you choose to cooperate with us, you will have the opportunity to get everything you deserve."

The special electronic synthesized sound of the intelligent machine seemed to be mixed with charming magic, which made Ephissia finally choose to turn around and look at him.

"cooperate?"

"Yes, we will help you get back the position of the Ninth Princess, and what you have to do is to help us do something after that."

The omnic played with the teacup left by Li Qi and chuckled to Ephisia, "...We will even help you capture the heart of that little prince and make him fall in love with you."

If the above conditions are not enough to impress Ephissia.

When the omnic spoke the latter part, Ephissia swallowed unwillingly.

Seeing this, the face made of virtual screen showed an even happier smile. He seemed like a devil who led people to fall. He asked softly in front of Ephisia:
"How about it? Do you want to cooperate with us, Your Highness Effie?"...

The secret realm assessment proceeds as scheduled.

No other accidents occurred during this period.

Whether it is the Martial Alliance or the Sages' Society, they would not choose to cause trouble under such tight federal defense.

After all, this is a super large event broadcast throughout the federation.

Li Qi approached the secret realm in the mechanics' team. He listened to the precautions given by the teachers and looked up at the huge door not far away.

No one knows where the secret realm is. Some say it is a small planet, while others say it is another dimension different from the real world.

Anyway, if you want to go to the secret realm, you can only go through this interstellar gate that can perform space jumps and go to the unknown test location.

Because a broadcasting system was set up in the secret realm in advance, everything that happens in the secret realm will be reflected on TV stations outside even if the distance is far.

This is also a kind of protection for the contestants who participate in the secret realm test.

After staring at the interstellar gate for a while, Li Qi retracted his gaze and looked at the "audience seats" floating in the air in the distance.

On the high platform in the center of the auditorium sat a row of famous figures.

Members of the Wuling Galaxy, deans of the academy, chairmen of some large groups, and...

The blonde, blue-eyed girl sitting above the Wuling Galaxy councillor.

Sophie Yuna.

At the previous opening ceremony, someone had already explained Sophie Yuna's identity, and therefore Sophie Yuna attracted a lot of attention. The big screen in the sky also swept over Sophie Yuna from time to time.

When Li Qi looked over, he seemed to feel Sophie Yuna's gaze.

Although they were hundreds of meters apart, Li Qi still felt that she was looking at him.

"Sure enough, he was discovered."

Li Qi sighed softly, not surprised at all.

Sophie Yuna probably already knew who she was. It was even possible that it was not her mother Zelia who told her, but she herself knew Li Qi's identity through information reasoning.

After all, in the eyes of those who know the arrangements of the Sarnak family, Li Qi's identity is not difficult to guess.

However, even though he was discovered by Sophie Yuna, Li Qi was not too worried. As long as she didn't take him away by force, there would be no problem.

Even if she was willing to stay here with Li Qi, Li Qi could play the game of "Love between Couples" with her.

Thinking of this, Li Qi looked up and smiled at Sophie Yuna.

Sophie Yuna in the stands was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled. That smile was genuine and came from the heart.

A drone that was broadcasting live happened to capture Sophie's smile, which caused an uproar in the audience, with cheers and exclamations continuing.

I have to say that Sophie Yuna is indeed very beautiful. Her golden hair, which comes from royal blood and seems to be glowing, adds a lot of charm to her.

Sophie always said that Li Qi was very handsome, and often turned into a complimenter to praise Li Qi in his ear.

But she herself is not inferior to Li Qi in any way. In fact, if Li Qi did not have that wonderful charm, he would probably be slightly inferior to Sophie in terms of appearance alone.

After all, Li Qi is a male, and his face has a bit of masculine toughness.

From the perspective of modern aesthetics, this is considered a deduction.

"Your Highness the Ninth Princess, have you seen a student you like?"

Sophie's smile made the congressman accompanying her ask questions.

But after hearing what the congressman said, Sophie's smile faded. She glanced at the old congressman and said perfunctorily:
"Well, the students of your school all seem to be outstanding."

"No, no, no, Your Highness the Ninth Princess, I am not the dean of the academy, she is."

The old congressman pointed to his mother-in-law who was sitting on the other side of Sophie and said with a smile.

The old dean, whose hair was somewhat gray, also smiled and said:
“This year’s students are indeed very outstanding. In terms of the fifth-level students, there is Ke Lin from the fourth grade, who is a mecha master at the peak of the fifth level and has already built his own exclusive mecha.

"For the fourth-level students, there are also third-year student Hunter, second-year student Meng Hui, and even a few first-year students... Oh, by the way, it seems that there is also your sister..."

The old dean suddenly remembered the transfer student from the Empire and wanted to introduce him to Sophie.

Sophie raised her hand to interrupt her and pointed at the crowd below.
"Kiri Webber, first grade, how is he?"

"Forehead……"

The old dean blinked and looked at the crowd below. The boy with slightly dark skin said, "He is an excellent child. I heard that he is already a mechanic of the first stage of the fourth level in his first year. He is also the monitor of Class E03... In the last final exam, he almost became the head of the grade..."

As soon as the old dean finished speaking, he saw Sophie's expression beside him suddenly turned cold:

"Oh? Then who is the first grade leader?"

Feeling the coldness coming from Sophie, the old dean was puzzled but still said:
"Lana, who is in the same class as Kiri..."

"Lana."

Sophie Yuna carefully memorized the name and said to the old dean, "I want to see the performance of Kiri and this... Lana guy during the assessment later."

"...Of course, they can, but Your Highness, they are only level 4. Level 4 battlefields are usually very... ordinary. Level 5 battlefields are..."

"I want to see them." Sophie Yuna said firmly, leaving no chance for the old dean to refuse.

The old dean was silent for a while. She looked up at Sophie with a strange expression and nodded:
"No problem, Your Highness, you have the final say."

Although Sophie Yuna is the princess of the empire, she has little power in the federation.

But... the old dean doesn't have much power behind him, so we should still respect him.
