My Endless Life.

Chapter 538 'Communication'

"puff--!"

Under the screen, when Sophie heard the puppet girl calling Li Qi "Dad", she almost spit out the tea she had just drunk.

The maid next to her handed her a handkerchief to wipe her mouth. Sophie wiped it a few times roughly, her eyes slightly narrowed, staring at the women in the picture with an unfriendly look.

"…It seems that the puppet mistook His Highness Richie for someone else?"

The old dean saw that Sophie didn't look very happy, and hesitated for a moment to smooth things over.

Sophie held her chin and looked at the silent Li Qi in the picture, with a hint of deep thought in her eyes.

"Just... admit your mistake."

Although Sophie didn't think that Li Qi had any connection with the ancient people in a small world who had died more than a thousand years ago.

But since meeting Meimei, some of Li Qi's behaviors are indeed difficult to explain.

Why did he care so much about Meimei, why did he know so much about the magic of that world, and why did he remain silent when the girl called him...

Sophie couldn't figure it out. She felt there must be a secret that she didn't know about.

There were some things that Sophie wasn't sure about, so she simply stopped thinking about them.

She just frowned and looked up at Li Qi on the screen with a little anxiety. The more secrets Li Qi revealed, the more uneasy she felt.

I always feel like I still don't know my fiancé well enough.

And Sophie wanted to know everything about Li Qi, both his body and his heart.

"Huh..." Sophie closed her eyes and took several deep breaths. She suddenly asked the old dean:
"Can I go in during their assessment?"

"???" The old dean's expression suddenly froze. She looked at Sophie with wide eyes. After a while, she said helplessly, "No, Your Highness. In order to ensure relative fairness, no outsiders other than the candidates will be allowed to enter the examination venue, including teachers."

"Really can not?"

"Really can not."

"All right……"

Seeing the old dean's firm refusal, Sophie could only give up with regret.

If this happened in the Empire, she wouldn't care what the other party said. As long as her mother didn't come to tell her in person, Sophie would never give up her idea, even if it was other brothers and sisters who were princes and princesses.

But this is the Federation after all, and it is not the territory of the imperial royal family.

So even though she really wanted to go in, stay by Li Qi's side, and never let him leave, Sophie could only endure it at the moment.

Be patient until the assessment is over.

"What happened to the first arena?"

"It seems something happened. Suddenly, several screens went dark... and the person didn't come back..."

"What happened?"

Sophie was still thinking when there was a sudden commotion in the audience. The commotion did not stop but grew louder.

Sophie and the old dean looked at the first competition field at the same time, which was where the fifth-level practitioners were, and saw that several of the largest screens suddenly went dark and there was no sound anymore.

"what happened!"

Sophie Yuna looked at the old dean with dissatisfaction.

This kind of thing happened at such a critical moment, which made Sophie a little worried about the safety of Li Qi who was still in the stadium.

"I don't know. I will investigate as soon as possible. Your Highness, please continue watching. I will be back soon."

The old dean stood up and walked towards the technical department. Sophie Yuna's brows frowned even deeper. She looked up at the black screen on the first field, then looked up at the various images on the second field where Li Qi was, and had a bad feeling in her heart.

In fact, there were also several light screens in the second competition venue that suddenly went dark, and the corresponding contestants did not come back.

But their disappearance and death did not cause any commotion.
Because their strength was not strong to begin with, and they were suppressed by the current world. And before they died, the reasons why they died and why they failed to come back in time were also seen by everyone.

Although people felt sorry and thought they were too stupid and weak, they were not too shocked.

But in the first arena...Sophie's keen five senses captured the conversations of people in the audience and confirmed that the screens in the first arena disappeared suddenly without any warning.

So was there something wrong with the broadcasting technology? Or something else?
Sophie Yuna didn't know, and the old dean didn't seem to know either.

It is precisely because of the unknown that Sophie feels worried.

"I hope... nothing will happen..."

Looking at Li Qi who had already started communicating with the doll girl on the screen, Sophie prayed in her heart.

……

silence……

silence.

Still silent.

Li Qi maintained his gentlemanly demeanor after landing and did not move for a long time.

Angel's soft whisper sounded like a loud shout through a megaphone to his ears, and looking at Angel's slightly familiar face, Li Qi only felt absurd.

More than a thousand years have passed in this world, and Angel is also a person from more than a thousand years ago.

No matter who it is, they would think that Angel is dead. Li Qi also doesn't think he will see his daughter again. Even if he doesn't see his biological daughter in person, he will feel regretful.

However, when he actually saw it again, Li Qi felt it was ridiculous and even a little wary.

Is the girl in front of me really Angel?

Could Angel really have mastered the technique of refining life and placed her own soul into it in just a few decades?
Li Qi didn't think Angel could have such power.

And after his observation, he was quite sure that the Angel in front of him was just a puppet, but a puppet with very delicate workmanship.

Not only the appearance, but also every internal part, as well as the alchemical heart that serves as the power source, have been polished with the utmost care, bringing the alchemical technology to its extreme.

Even if Li Qi came here himself, he couldn't find anything to change except the materials.

But the materials Li Qi knew were all from the interstellar world, and the materials on the girl in front of him should be the best she could find in this world.

"Are you Angel?"

Li Qi raised an eyebrow and asked.

The puppet who called herself Angel fell silent.

When she and Li Qi were in the magical world, their blue eyes were the same color, emitting bright light.

Li Qi could feel her eyes scanning him, just like he was examining Angel just now.

After observing Li Qi, Angel's gem-like eyes showed doubt and confusion, and her brows moved together. She asked in a low voice:
"Are you alive?"

"if not?"

"I thought……"

Angel was hesitant to speak at this point. Finally, her voice became colder, and she looked directly into Li Qi's eyes and asked:
"Who are you? Why can you solve the puzzle I left behind?"

The puzzle that Angel was referring to was not only the alchemical magic circle outside the box that was used to lock the box, but also the alchemical runes that integrated magic such as "tracking", "positioning" and "self-recovery" implanted on the magic device.

Normally, apart from her, no one could solve the puzzle and the runes inside the magic device. However, the person in front of her not only solved the runes inside, but also separated the runes, allowing only that rune to automatically return to Angel!

What a superb alchemical method!
How long had he been asleep? How could such a powerful alchemist appear in this world?
Angel stared at the other person warily.

But after being silent for a while, the other party suddenly raised the staff in his hand and pointed it at her.

"!!!"

Angel's pupils dilated just like a human's due to shock. There was no difference from the look of a shocked human being. She looked like a real human being.

Li Qi saw Angel's reaction, and circles of alchemical light flowed on the staff. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped him and Angel, as well as Hongye and the one-eyed girl.

The alchemical light released by Li Qi startled Angel at first, but Angel soon discovered that the alchemical light released by the other party did not seem to be attacking her.

It's sending a peculiar message.

Her eyes moved slightly, and Angel was not to be outdone. She took a step forward and raised her hands. The alchemical runes that had flown in her hands before flew into her hands again.

Based on alchemical runes, the puppet debris around her flew out, assembled and integrated in her hands, and finally formed a magic wand with a slightly steampunk texture.

The moment the magic wand took shape, golden light that complemented Li Qi's alchemical brilliance flew out from above the magic wand.

It blended well into Li Qi's alchemical brilliance. The lights released by the two of them kept colliding. From the perspective of others, it seemed as if they were manipulating soldiers called "alchemical runes" and waging a war that no one could understand.

"What are they…what are they doing?"

Hongye, who was a complete layman, asked the one-eyed girl cautiously.

The one-eyed girl's only remaining eye stared intently at the runes that the two people were manipulating and colliding.

The other eye wrapped in cloth seemed to reveal some faint light, but it was completely covered by the surrounding light and could not be seen at all.

While observing the actions of the two people in front of her, the one-eyed girl explained to Hongye:
"They...are communicating through alchemy."

"Communication... Communication!? Is this just communication?!"

Hongye looked in surprise at the runes that kept colliding and shattering in the air, turning into splashing light spots.

In her eyes, the countless runes in the sky were like interstellar mechanical fleets. Each rune represented a battleship, and each formation formed by large runes was an interstellar spaceship.

Warships collide with each other, and spaceships attack each other.

The attack of the spaceship destroyed the battleship in the previous second, and in the next second more enemy warships launched a suicide attack on the spaceship and destroyed it.

No matter how you look at it, this seems like another way of 'fighting' rather than 'communication'!
I don’t know how the one-eyed girl came to this conclusion.

"You are not an alchemist, so you have no idea how much they have done..." The one-eyed girl's voice was trembling. She paused for a moment before continuing:
"...How incredible... They... They have completely understood the alchemical runes. Each floating rune is a small alchemical item, but these alchemical items do not have the power to attack. They only provide a... special way of communication...

"This is... communication between the God of Alchemy and the God of Alchemy!"

The one-eyed girl finally made this judgment.

That’s right, in her eyes, the two people in front of her were no longer ordinary alchemists, they were like the God of Alchemy from more than a thousand years ago!
And both of them!

Just this one exchange between them was enough for the one-eyed girl to benefit greatly.

She had even forgotten the purpose of coming here. Her eyes kept moving around, and her other alchemical prosthetic eye, which was wrapped in cloth, was emitting magical light despite being exposed!
The secret treasures of the God of Alchemy are certainly important.

But if she were to miss this scene, this rare miracle, it would be better not to look for the so-called secret treasure of the God of Alchemy!

Because the real hidden treasure is right before our eyes!
