My Endless Life.

Chapter 530 Grant's House
The Ulogis Republic was a republican country established a hundred years ago by overthrowing the original feudal system.

Because it was founded on the corpses of the ancient Uno and Falol kingdoms, it was named Ulogis.

Gis was the name of the president of the emerging country at that time.

The Republic of Ulogis is very large. The former territories of Uno, Farol, and Ship Federation are now part of Ulogis, and some small countries have also been annexed by Ulogis.

It is one of the largest countries in the world.

In addition to Ulogis, there is also the Magic Kingdom, which inherited the original Magic Kingdom of England. They occupy the territory of the other half of the world.

Ulogis and the Sorcerous Kingdom have been fighting for a long time, and have recently reached a truce, which has lasted for more than 30 years.

However, because there are still some minor frictions between the two countries, the people of the two countries are also hostile to the people of each other's country.

When Meimei saw Li Qi, she mistook him for a spy from the Sorcerous Kingdom.

But maybe it was because of Li Qi's charm, or maybe Meimei was really heartless, she quickly forgot all her vigilance, as if she really regarded Li Qi as a friend.

Meimei is too naive, which makes Li Qi a little worried that this child will be deceived by someone in the future.

After getting off the airship, Li Qi followed Meimei and walked in the city of Urno.

After more than a thousand years of changes, the city of Urno has become very large, so in Li Qi's eyes, the city in front of him is completely unfamiliar.

Everything he was familiar with turned into ancient buildings and material cultural heritage in the very center of Urno.

Even the estate that once belonged to the Grant family has become a cultural monument.

“…Shouldn’t the Grant family’s manor belong to you?”

Li Qi looked at Meimei in confusion.

Meimei waved her hands repeatedly: "What are you talking about! That is a historical site! It belongs to the country! Now even if my ancestor Angel comes here, he has to buy a ticket to go in and visit!"

"..."

Buy a ticket...to visit...your home?

What a niche word.

As he was thinking this, Meimei said, "Moreover, Angel's ancestor's mother, Lillian, gave birth to Angel outside, so Grant's real family relics are somewhere else, and this place... is just one of them."

"I see."

Li Qi then remembered that after his death, he had told Lillian that if she felt she was unable to protect the things he left behind, she could leave through the secret passage Li Qi had prepared in advance.

Therefore, from the moment Lillian left Grant's home, this place was no longer considered Grant's ancestral land.

Li Qi didn't ask Meimei where the Grant family's real ancestral home was.

He followed Meimei, through the streets and alleys, to a more... civilian area, and stopped next to an old two-story building.

"arrive."

Meimei pointed to the two-story building and said, "This is Grant's house!"

"...?"

Li Qi looked silently at the old attic in front of him with a few construction patches on the roof.

Then he looked at the more "modern" villas on both sides and was silent for a long time.

"Ronnie?"

Seeing that Li Qi didn't respond, Meimei turned around in confusion.

Li Qi opened his mouth, wanting to speak but stopping, and finally asked: "Is this... all about the Grant family?"

"Yeah, come in quickly, I still need to find the passbook to see if I can compensate for the mecha... otherwise I won't dare to go back."

Meimei said this, took out the key, opened the door, and trotted up to the attic on the second floor.

She didn't seem to think that Li Qi would do anything bad, so she left the door open and let him in.

Li Qi sighed helplessly again, stepped into the room, and waved his hand to close the door.

The room is not big, only about 80 square meters in plan, but a huge alchemy cauldron in the middle occupies more than ten square meters. A sofa, bookshelf, and various sundries are piled together in the distance. There are two rooms in the corner, one with a restroom sign and the other with a warehouse sign.

There was a staircase next to the wall leading directly to the second floor, and half of the second floor was empty. Li Qi could see the ceiling directly from the first floor.

The other half is a fenced space that looks like a converted large room, with a large bed placed at the innermost part of the space.

Overall, this house looks like a one-bedroom apartment. It’s not too big, but it has everything it needs.

Judging from the overall layout, there should have been several separate rooms downstairs, and there should have been two more rooms upstairs, but they were later changed.

Li Qi felt that the previous head of the Grant family would not be so stupid as to leave no secrets in the house.

So who exactly changed the house into this state? The answer is obvious.

Meimei was looking for something on the second floor, and the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets continued.

Li Qi didn't disturb her. He walked on the first floor, glanced at the huge alchemy cauldron in the middle, which was used to assist alchemy, and then walked to the utility room on the side.

His eyes sparkled as Li Qi analyzed the possible "inheritance" left by the Grant family among the miscellaneous items.

But nothing was found.

It's just a bunch of clutter here.

After thinking for a while, Li Qi looked at the warehouse in the distance again and narrowed his eyes.

In the warehouse, a strong energy was particularly obvious in Li Qi's eyes. He walked to the side of the warehouse, opened the door, and saw the boxes placed on the warehouse shelf at a glance.

The box is not big and can be picked up with both hands.

The rich energy came from the box.

Judging from the vague outline of the energy, it seems to be a round object...

"Ah! Ah ah ah!!!"

Li Qi was still looking at the box when he heard Meimei's cry coming from the second floor. Li Qi came out with the box and was about to ask what happened when he heard Meimei shout:

"As expected... As expected, I'm out of money!! I'm really screwed now!!!"

"…So where are the 'antiques' left by the Grant family that you mentioned?"

Li Qi did not forget what Meimei had mentioned before, that if he had no money, he could sell antiques.

Although he didn't see any valuable antiques, he thought that no matter how stupid Meimei was, she would not forget that there were no antiques in her house that could be sold for money...

"Oh, I forgot, they are all sold out..."

"you……"

How can you forget such a thing?! So since you sold all the antiques, where did your money go?!

Li Qi was about to ask when he heard Meimei crying and shouting, "In order to maintain the operating expenses of the house and prevent it from being taken away by the municipal government, I have sold all the things in the house!"

"Take...away?"

"Woo woo, they said my house was an illegal building, and this area was going to be renovated, so they wanted to demolish my house... I spent a lot of money to get rid of them... Now I have no money!!"

Meimei grabbed her head and screamed in despair, her short dark blond hair was tangled up by her pulling.

Li Qi took a deep breath again, then handed the box to Meimei:

"This seems to be very valuable. Don't you plan to sell it?"

"This..." Meimei was stunned when she saw the box, and replied: "...This is...something left by Angel's ancestors. There is an alchemical code on it. I can't open it...No one can open it. No one knows what's inside, and the box itself is worthless."

Meimei is a little stupid, but she is not hopelessly stupid.

These are things left behind by Angel's ancestors himself. Even if the contents are not very important, they must be very valuable.

But no matter who it is, after discovering that they cannot open the box, they all want to buy the box at the lowest price.

They were only willing to pay the price of the box.

Of course Meimei was unwilling to sell her ancestors' things at a low price, so the box remained in the warehouse.

"Alchemical code..."

Li Qi opened the box and tapped the lock.

Sure enough, an extremely complex alchemy array appeared above, and many nodes in it were set with words that others could not understand...

Except for Li Qi.

Because those were the special words he left in his alchemy notes.

In today's world where special characters have not been passed down, it would be incredible if anyone could open it.

"An alchemy array constructed with this kind of text..."

Li Qi ran his fingers across the array pattern.

The alchemical array is constructed with special characters, which means that only those who understand this special character can open the box.

In other words, this box can only be opened by Li Qi... and those who have read his alchemy notes.

"Angel..."

Reading the name of his daughter whom he had never met, Li Qi thought of the legend that Meimei had mentioned, that Angel had appeared hundreds of years ago, and he couldn't help but think of something.

This may be something Angel left for herself.

So Angel is not dead yet?
No, it should be said that there is still an alchemy doll that preserves her memories.

Angel prepared this thing for the alchemy doll.

So what's in here?
Li Qi was a little curious about this. He slid his fingers on the alchemy array, following the steps to unlock the chain locks one by one.

Meimei watched from the side, wanting to say something but stopping herself in the end. It was too late for her to stop it because there was a knock on the door.

"I'll open the door."

Hearing the knock on the door, Meimei quickly ran to the door and opened it.

Li Qi just glanced at it, and when he saw Meimei opened the door and walked out, he didn't pay much attention anymore and tried to unlock the lock on the box carefully.

The locks on the box were arranged one inside another, and all were set using the special text that Li Qi left on his alchemy notebook.

Li Qi even found many traps in it. Even if he understood the special words, if he failed to find these traps, once he entered, the locks would become more numerous and more complicated.

This is actually a magic lock that can change and modify itself!

"interesting……"

Li Qi's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that his adopted daughter had achieved such a high level in alchemy.

He sat on the sofa and began to unlock the door carefully.

About ten minutes later, the magic lock was finally opened by him.

Click——

A crisp opening sound was heard, and the box opened. Li Qi also saw what was hidden inside. It was a...magic device?

Li Qi didn't stare at the magic device for too long, because just as he opened the box, a fierce quarrel was heard outside.

Amid the noise of the quarrel, Meimei's voice was extremely clear.

"Hasn't the contract already been signed? Why are you still taking my house away?!"

Meimei's voice was a little sharp and a little aggrieved, and there was an imperceptible cry in her loud shouting.

Hearing this voice, Li Qi's eyes narrowed dangerously.
