Day in Infinity

"You want to kill me! Kill me at this time!"

The leader of the riot spoke.

But at this moment, Li Ke's voice rang out.

"I will pretend I didn't see anyone who killed four bandits."

The next moment, all the forty thieves looked at each other, and then, in Arthur's astonished eyes, these forty thieves started fighting each other!

He couldn't quite understand this matter, but there was no doubt that these bandits who terrified countless desert people had begun fighting each other!

Chapter 428 Intermission

"why is that?"

Looking at the forty thieves killing each other, Arthur couldn't understand what was happening. Why did these people suddenly start to fight among themselves?

"Why? The reason is actually very simple."

Li Ke looked at the puzzled Arthur and spoke casually.

"Because they are not good people, Arthur. These bandits gather together for money. They will obey violence, but once someone shows more powerful violence and gives some false hope, they will fall apart."

Looking at the forty thieves who were fighting each other, Li Ke spoke with disdain.

"They have no intention of taking responsibility for each other's lives. Since the Forty Thieves use their numbers to mark their existence, there is a possibility."

Arthur looked at Li Ke in confusion, not knowing what the possibility was.

"To be the Forty Thieves, you only need forty people. As long as your strength can be recognized by them and you are cruel enough, you can become the Forty Thieves. But do you know why they are like this?"

Arthur didn't understand Li Ke's problem. After all, to put it bluntly, Sir Hector kept it a secret very well. Although he trained Arthur well and even taught him to read, he didn't dare to teach him more.

I am no longer able to teach.

"Because the surrounding countries will not allow a united family to become bandits. They must be scattered. Otherwise, the bandit group centered around the family will quickly form a new force and use their own military force and wealth to exchange for the opportunity to go ashore. In this desert world, the best way to ascend to power is to overthrow a king."

Li Ke's words suddenly woke Arthur up. Only then did he realize why most of the knights were connected by family blood.

"In other words, because they have no family connection, they are unable to sacrifice themselves for greater benefits? Because their companions will not lend a hand when they are weak, nor will they take care of their children and relatives?"

Arthur spoke hesitantly.

"Yes, most of the time, sober-minded relatives will be your perfect helpers. As long as your ability far exceeds theirs, they will be able to give most of their things for you, and there will be no trust issues. However, sometimes, relatives will become the biggest obstacle to your entrepreneurship."

Li Ke recalled several typical cases in his mind where family businesses were ruined because of their relatives, and there were also many cases in history where kingdoms collapsed because of relatives' troubles.

For modern people, this is basically the nonsense said by those annoying relatives during the New Year. But for Arthur, who has never been taught how to build a group, such knowledge is naturally invaluable to him who considers himself to be at the bottom of the society.

"That is to say, if a person wants to do something, he must absorb relatives as companions, and also absorb a large number of people who are not my relatives, so that he can better form a group?"

Arthur asked carefully, and Li Ke nodded.

"That's about it. You still have to put it into practice. But the truly reliable ones are actually those who share the same ideals as you... but you also have to worry about their ideals changing."

He didn't think much about it; it seemed to him like just the most basic knowledge.

And since the situation has reached the point where these people are killing each other, Li Ke no longer intends to delay any further.

"I will teach you swordsmanship next, because these people are so inferior that it insults my intelligence."

Li Ke took Arthur's sword from his hand and walked over quickly.

"Watch out, Arthur, this is how swordplay works."

The moment Li Ke walked over with a sword in hand, most of the fighting bandits reacted.

One of the robbers yelled at Li Ke.

"You don't keep your word!"

But what responded to him was a thrust from Li Ke.

“You didn’t agree either.”

Li Ke's words stunned the robbers, because they just realized that every time Li Ke proposed a condition, they did not agree!

So, in a daze, his body was passed by Li Ke, and Li Ke's sword instantly slashed through his neck, and he used the force that Arthur could do.

"asshole!!"

One by one, the robbers reacted and rushed towards Li Ke.

But their flaws were too obvious. The trajectories of the scimitars in their hands were extremely clear in Li Ke's eyes. Li Ke could have avoided them with his eyes closed, but in order to teach Arthur, Li Ke still seriously made corresponding blocks and relays, and then tore the throats of the two robbers with one sword.

If Arthur still didn't quite understand what Li Ke said about forming a group, then Li Ke's swordsmanship was something that shocked him immensely.

"Mr. Li Ke's movements are so beautiful!"

He opened his eyes wide, looking at Li Ke's actions in disbelief, watching how Li Ke used the simple sword moves that he knew how to use to break the advantage of the scimitar weapon, and then how he released the advantage of the knight's sword in his hand!

It was as if the application of the formula was fully demonstrated to Arthur, making the countless martial arts training memories in Arthur's head suddenly come alive.

I have to say, this guy has really good talent.

There were no fancy sword moves, no unnecessary actions, and no twisted ending. By the time Princess Jasmine and Arthur reacted, Li Ke had already arrived in front of the last person.

That is, in front of the leader of the Forty Thieves.

"You could have just killed us all...you devil..."

The leader, who had been seriously injured for a long time, spoke to Li Ke while spitting blood foam. He saw clearly that Li Ke could definitely destroy them directly, but he chose to torture them in this way.

"For evil people like you, we naturally need to use the most cruel means. There is no mercy for you. Or, will you show mercy to those people in the caravan?"

Li Ke said these words to Princess Jasmine and Arthur. After all, he didn't intend to be a murderous devil in the eyes of others.

After saying this, he simply waved his hand and cut off the other person's head.

The dragon fire appeared quickly and burned all the bodies of the forty thieves, completely eliminating their chance of pretending to be dead and escaping.

Li Ke carefully confirmed that there were indeed forty bodies before he dissipated his flames.

This scene was even more dazzling in the eyes of Princess Jasmine. The hero in the flames was intelligent, skilled in martial arts, and willing to teach future generations. This was undoubtedly a plus!

"Okay, it's time to move the treasure."

Li Ke smiled and spoke to Princess Jasmine and Arthur behind him, waved to them, and took the lead into the lair of the forty thieves.

The gold coins in the nest were not damaged at all. The large amount of gold, silver and jewelry quickly attracted everyone's attention, and Arthur's eyes were wider than ever.

Because he had never seen so much money!

He had always thought that the desert was a barren place, but he never expected it to be so rich!

"It would be great if I could get the treasure of the desert. Then I wouldn't have to eat potatoes all the time..."

Arthur couldn't help but mutter in his heart, and Li Ke directly took out Merlin's pocket.

"Okay, I will give you some of the treasure, but the price is that you have to help pack up the treasure...Princess Jasmine, are you interested in being a porter with me? Of course, I will also give you a corresponding reward."

Li Ke threw the bag to Arthur, then smiled and took Princess Jasmine's hand.

"Me? But I didn't do anything."

Princess Jasmine spoke a little embarrassedly. When she came here, she was actually thinking whether she could help Li Ke with her wisdom, but in the end she didn't do it.

Li Ke's wisdom, martial arts, and magic were all beyond her reach. It could even be said that he was too handsome, which made her unable to help but have some strange thoughts.

"Anyone who sees it gets a share, and you came all the way here with me, and gave me such a handsome outfit."

Li Ke showed off the clothes he was wearing, which made Princess Jasmine couldn't help but chuckle.

"Then I'll wait for your reward."

Princess Jasmine reached out her hand and gently touched Li Ke's face, but stopped because of shyness. Then she let go of Li Ke's hand and turned around in front of Li Ke.

Li Ke had a premonition when she was spinning, and when Princess Jasmine spoke, this premonition came true.

"The waves hit the ancient coastline, and I am a lonely princess..."

The song started instantly, Princess Jasmine's voice became unusually elegant, and bursts of professional symphonies filled the air without anyone noticing.

"I knew it……"

Li Ke pressed down the headscarf on his head, chose to give up his ability to think, and integrate into the current situation.

The moment he opened his mouth, he automatically learned at least thirty years of bel canto singing skills, and then the lyrics began to appear continuously, and the melody around him began to change as he stepped into the dance and music.

"I am as strong as a mountain, I came to you across the sky... The threat of the forty thieves was easily quelled by me, but I don't care about their treasures, because you are my most beautiful gem..."

Li Ke grabbed Princess Jasmine's hand and kept dancing to the rhythm of the music. In the background, Arthur was also enveloped by the singing. Then naturally, his speed of collecting treasures suddenly increased to a terrifying level.

Inside the cave, the birds and small animals in the oasis also quickly came to their surroundings, dancing to the singing. These small animals also kept carrying various gems and gold coins into Merlin's bag, and then came out with chestnuts from Merlin's warehouse.

"...But no one can shine my light, and my kingdom worries me. Ahhhhh...where can I put my heart?"

While Princess Jasmine was singing, a cute bird tried hard to send a fist-sized gem into Merlin's bag in the air, but unfortunately it was too big to lift it, so it fell directly to the ground.

But the kind-hearted Princess Jasmine grabbed the cute little bird, and after comforting it, she put the gem into Merlin's bag.

Then, he looked at Li Ke.

"Where can my heart go?"

Then, Li Ke heard someone singing in a strong bass voice in the void.

"Her father is majestic and old-fashioned. No one can marry his daughter unless he is a prince or a king. Her father is powerful and kind, and is recognized as a king by all sultans. Ahhh! How can our warrior get that lonely gem? Ahhh... How can our warrior become king!"

Li Ke: “…………”

Li Ke could tolerate everything else, but what was the meaning of this Void Choir? There were behind-the-scenes jobs in the animation, but was there a god or angel in this world, or a so-called elf singing group?

However, when the lyrics came to his lips, looking at Princess Jasmine's lonely look, Li Ke sang them directly.

"Oh, my beautiful gem, please do not worry. I will become a thing of the past without a doubt. I have a queen who is willing to marry me, and a wizard who is willing to assist me. I will become your king and release you from that cage!"

No matter how Li Ke sang it, she felt that the lyrics were extremely weird, but Princess Jasmine didn't care at all. As the daughter of the Sultan, although theoretically she could be the unique wife of a king and a prince, she also abided by the customs of the desert area from the bottom of her heart.

After all, when fairy tales become reality, they must also abide by the rules of reality.

"My dear warrior, I will wait for the day when you become king... I only hope that you will not forget my color, forget everything about me, and forget this gem in the desert..."

When she sang this sentence, Arthur was almost collapsed from exhaustion due to the acceleration, and the small animals around him had already emptied Merlin's chestnut store.

At this moment, Merlin also used his magic spell to summon his chestnut, and then let out a howl.

But Li Ke naturally didn't know this at this time, because the song was almost coming to an end.

However, the last one, in the box hidden by the leader with various spells, the bird that almost fell to the ground was holding a necklace that was said to be the most beautiful among all the treasures and wanted to put it into Merlin's bag.

However, its body was still too small, so Li Ke took out some candies from his pocket and handed them to the other party. At the same time, he took the necklace that appeared at the end of the song, and then put the necklace on Princess Jasmine's slender and elegant neck in the expectant gaze of Princess Jasmine, and then spoke gently.

"I will never forget you."

Li Ke's words marked the end of the song, and Princess Jasmine's body trembled violently. She looked at Li Ke and thought of what Li Ke had just said about a queen who was in love with him. She bit her lip and made up her mind.

Although they had only met once, her intuition and divine presence told her that this was the good man she was looking for.

And since you are willing to become the king for me, then——

It means that he will become the master of a huge kingdom!

You grab a good man yourself!

She subconsciously stood on tiptoe and subconsciously wanted to kiss Li Ke, but just when she was about to kiss, she suddenly let go of Li Ke.

Covering her wildly beating heart, she really didn't dare to look at Li Ke because she was shy!

"I'm sorry, Li Ke, I... this is the first time we meet... I..."

Princess Jasmine was actually a little nervous when she spoke, afraid that Li Ke would be unhappy, but Li Ke didn't care about it and just smiled gently.

"It's okay, I'll wait for you, my gem, it's normal to be shy, it's okay."

Princess Jasmine's heart was about to jump out of her chest. She began to regret having just run away, but now she could only nod.

"Well, thank you..."

Rubbing her arms, Princess Jasmine felt a little cold at this time, and the next moment, Li Ke's cloak fell on her.

"Okay, we should go."

Li Ke's warmth appeared again, and Arthur, who was watching this scene, thought to himself that Li Ke would never hold him while flying, so he sighed and tactfully got into Merlin's pocket.

The next moment, Li Ke held Princess Jasmine's body and flew towards the sky.
