My Endless Life.

Chapter 537 Angel Glatt
"What are you standing there for? Come here quickly."

Li Qi resisted the urge to beat up his great-great-great-granddaughter who was separated from him by who knows how many generations, and spoke to her in a bad mood.

Meimei quickly put away her messy thoughts, sat down obediently opposite Li Qi, looked up and asked:

“…What’s wrong?”

"The Grant family genealogy, the treasured tome, and the alchemical products that you haven't sold yet...are they all here?"

Li Qi pointed to the table piled up like a small mountain in front of him and looked up at Meimei.

Meimei blinked and nodded repeatedly: "I'm sure it's all here!"

"Is that all that's left?"

Li Qi frowned, picked up one of the alchemy books, looked at the yellowed pages, and frowned even deeper.

There were not many things left by Li Qi before his death. The most essential of them was undoubtedly his alchemy notes, in which he summarized and recorded everything he had learned, thought, and guesses about future alchemical works.

Alchemical dolls, war machines, airships, even airplanes, tanks, chariots, magic machine guns, alchemical rockets and spaceships... As long as it is something that Li Qi can think of and has a chance of being made through alchemy, Li Qi has recorded it on it.

From military to commercial use.

From state use to civilian use.

It is full of Li Qi's wild conjectures recorded during his last period of time.

And now, Li Qi has only seen part of it being applied to reality.

Alchemical dolls, war colossi, airships, magic trains, magic deep-sea submarines...all things related to war were taken out and thrown into the battlefield.

But others have none at all.

For example, Li Qi's idea of ​​using alchemy to convert magic power into electrical energy and bring the world into the electrical age was never seen.

Even because this world relies too much on alchemy, its overall technological level is still at the steam age!

More than a thousand years of the steam age!

Li Qi was speechless when he thought of this, and even suspected that it was these things he left behind that allowed people in this world to embark on the path of technology.

It was because he felt that the direction of this world was not right that Li Qi thought of looking through the books left by the Grant family to see what was going on.

However... Li Qi searched here for a long time, but couldn't find the guesses he had left behind.

In other words, all the completed and formed things in this world have relevant design records on them.

But there are many other things that cannot be found here at all.

In other words, only a part of the alchemy heritage left by Li Qi was passed down, and much more was lost.

Could it be that these related traditions have been lost over the past thousand years?

Li Qi really wanted to think so, but after asking Meimei, he got the answer that "only the classics are preserved intact."

"Did someone deliberately intercept these inheritances?"

Li Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and thought of something.

He put the books aside for the time being and planned to learn about the history of the Grant family first.

But at this moment, he suddenly lowered his head and looked at the magic device he was wearing.

The magic device taken from the box left in the Grant family was trembling slightly. After two blinks, it suddenly flew up from Li Qi's neck and flew in a certain direction.

Li Qi stretched out his hand and grasped the magic device in one hand, with a light flashing in his red eyes. At that moment, the internal structure of the magic device appeared in front of Li Qi without reservation.

With a snap of his fingers, all the runes in the magic device were stripped away by Li Qi and floated above the magic device.

Li Qi searched through it, disassembled and closed all the runes, and finally threw out a rune with a special shape.

As soon as the rune was separated by Li Qi, it flew away into the distance.

Obviously, the thing that made the magic device move just now was the special rune that flew away.

Li Qi's actions were decisive and swift. When Meimei realized what seemed to have happened, the rune had disappeared from her sight.

Seeing that the magic device left by her ancestors contained such a thing, Meimei was a little shocked:
"Just now...what was that? How did it fly away by itself?!"

Meimei was bewildered.

Li Qi caught the trajectory of the flying symbol and stood up: "You take a good look at all the books left here and summarize the history of the development and demise of the Grant family. I will come back to check it."

"Eh?"

"I'll go see where this rune is going."

After Li Qi assigned Meimei homework, he stood up and left, quickly heading towards the place where the rune flew away.

In order to avoid being discovered by others, Li Qi also cast several invisibility spells on himself.

Watching Li Qi fly away, Meimei, who stayed in the room, looked silently at the pile of historical books on the table, her eyes revealing the despair of a poor student.

……

In a small room.

A girl wearing a gorgeous yet revealing golden dress walked out of the coffin.

As soon as she appeared, she raised her hand and piled up the pile of parts in the corner into shape, and in the blink of an eye, a war puppet appeared.

The tall war puppet trapped Hongye and the one-eyed girl in each of its hands.

Hongye was about to burst out with all her strength to struggle, but was stopped by the one-eyed girl.

The one-eyed girl who was caught by the war puppet asked the girl with long golden hair:

"Who... who are you? Grant's... alchemy doll?"

"Grant? Alchemy doll?" The girl tilted her head towards the one-eyed girl, her blue eyes revealing a hint of thought, and then said:

"My name is Angel."

"!?"

The one-eyed girl widened her eyes and blurted out almost instinctively: "Impossible! She's dead!"

"You just thought I was dead."

The blonde girl raised her hand and raised her hair. Her long hair with a gradient dark gold color fluttered with her movements, shining brightly under the dim light in the room.

The one-eyed girl watched her movements, observing every part of her body, and finally came to a conclusion.

This is an exquisite alchemical doll that is so well-made that it is almost impossible to tell the difference!

Not to mention ordinary people, even an experienced alchemist would probably not be able to distinguish her from a doll in an instant based on her appearance.

If it weren't for this special kind of beauty, which hardly exists in reality, the one-eyed girl wouldn't even believe that the girl in front of her was a doll.

"…So, you are the alchemical doll made by Angel?"

The one-eyed girl asked in a low voice.

The puppet who called herself Angel tilted her head: "Well... it seems that it is difficult for you to understand using conventional terms, but... you can also think of it this way. Although I am Angel, I am not Angel. I have her memories, her thoughts, and her knowledge, but...

"The only thing I don't have is her consciousness."

Angel said, placing her hand on her heart: "I have a human heart, an independent person, not a puppet, but... maybe I can't be called a person either."

As expected, the one-eyed girl found it difficult to understand Angel's words.

But at least there is good news. Although the Angel in front of him is a puppet, her way of thinking and behavior are closer to humans. Since she is a human, it is easy to talk to her.

The one-eyed girl thought about it and opened her mouth slightly to say something to Angel.

But before she could open her mouth, Angel had already ordered the war puppets she controlled to release the restraints on the one-eyed girl and Hongye.

"It looks like you came here on purpose. Tell me, what are you looking for?" Angel walked to the table, raised her hand and used the cleaning technique to clean the dust off the stool next to it, then sat on it with her legs crossed, looking at the two of them with her chin in her hand.

The one-eyed girl looked at Angel with her eyes. After taking a deep breath, she said to Angel in a deep voice:
"We are looking for the secret treasure of the God of Alchemy."

“…You just said that?” Hongye, who was behind her, looked confused.

The one-eyed girl ignored him and continued to say to Angel:

"The Grant family has completely fallen, and their alchemy has been completely lost. I... am a member of the Grant family branch... so I hope you can..."

"lie."

Angel interrupted the one-eyed girl with a smile. She looked the girl up and down and said:
“Many years ago… well, maybe hundreds of years ago, I accepted two disciples and taught them different alchemy techniques.

"And the youngest one was given the last name of Grant by me because she was outstanding. But she wanted to go even further and delve into forbidden alchemy... In the end, I kicked her out of the Grant family. Well, what I want to say is that you are quite similar to her. You are her descendant, not a branch of Grant, right?"

Angel said this with nostalgia, looking at the one-eyed girl with a smile that was very meaningful.

The girl pursed her lips, her only remaining eye trembling slightly. She stared at Angel for a long time before she asked in a trembling voice:
"...So... the news left by my ancestors... is true. You... have really mastered... the alchemy of life..."

"Look at me, am I a life?"

Angel put her hand on her heart and said, "I've already told her that life cannot be forged. Even if it's me, I can only create a replica with my own memories and personality. I can't revive it again... Forget it, why am I telling you this."

Angel said as she stood up and patted her skirt, even though there was no dust on it.

She stood up, suddenly raised her hand and stretched it in a certain direction, and said to the girl:

"I know that you want to find Dad... the knowledge left by Father, but I have destroyed it because I think it is not suitable to appear in this world.

"In contrast, you might as well go find the magic device I left at Grant's house. It is the crystallization of my wisdom left when I fell asleep last time... Well, it looks like it has been opened by someone... Wait for me for a moment."

Angel smiled gently at the girl and looked somewhere through the wall.

Her palms were slightly clenched, as if she was grabbing something, and the expression on her face became surprised and confused, then her brows slightly frowned, and she fell into thought.

After a few more seconds, Angel's eyes narrowed slightly, her smile faded, and her expression became serious.

After waiting for nearly half a minute, the one-eyed girl and Hongye saw a golden rune flying from the wall and sinking into Angel's palm.

“…torn apart.”

Angel muttered to herself, with a hint of confusion and puzzlement in her deep blue eyes.

But this confusion lasted only a short time, and Angel instantly raised her head and looked upward.

The one-eyed girl and Hongye also followed her gaze and looked up.

At first they saw nothing, but after more than ten seconds, they saw the wooden board above their heads begin to shake and separate to the left and right under a special force.

A pure white figure slowly fell from the place where the wooden board was separated.

Like a god descending from the sky.

The man held a staff half the height of a person and wore a gorgeous silver-white military uniform. His cloak fluttered automatically behind him without wind.

When he landed here, the wall above his head that was separated automatically closed up, as if it had never been separated.

The silver-white magician stood in the middle of the field, holding the gem on the top of the staff with one hand, standing on the ground as if he were using it as a walking stick. Then he raised his head and looked at the Angel in the field.

Angel stared at him, looking at those crimson eyes, her lips trembling slightly, and she whispered to him in a faint voice in a trance:

"…dad?"

"..."

At that moment, everyone present fell silent.
