The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

He swung the hammer in his hand and hit Ciri's leg.

He was ready to break the opponent's legs and then use teleportation to run away with Ciri.

After all, as long as he delays long enough, his teammates on the other side will be able to open the portal to pick him and the Ancient Blood back after discovering that something is wrong.

This is the most correct choice, especially when the opponent is unbeatable.

But the prerequisite is to find the right object——

At this moment, "Ciri" had a healthy smile on her face, showing that her conspiracy had succeeded.

"Nice idea, but your idea is also to be expected, elf."

“And I’ve been prepared for this.”

It was as if a strange yet familiar voice, a mixture of dozens of voices, came from the mouth of the "girl" in front of him.

And just before the hammer fell, the weak girl in front of Imlerith raised her slender arms.

"!"

The heavy blow that could even break and deform metal plates was caught by the girl in front of him with one hand, and it even looked like it was effortless.

Oops!

Imleris had a bad feeling and didn't have time to think about what was going on. He immediately tried to pull back the hammer...

But no matter how hard he tried, the hammer was firmly held in the girl's hand.

And then "Ciri" pointed a hand at him——

Bang!

As a lavender shock wave emanated from the palm of his hand, Imlerith under the helmet rolled his eyes on the spot, and his sturdy body fell to the ground with a thump.

"What a pity that the people who came were a bunch of you random soldiers... This move was originally prepared for Eredin and Caranthir."

So, why didn't these two guys come? They really don't take Ciri seriously!

Shaking its head, "Ciri" began to wriggle, and its skin quickly melted into a pool of blue gel-like substance.

Lin Qiao looked back at the other three navigators lying on the ground: "Never mind, it's not a complete loss."

After taking back the genetic factor that mimicked Ciri, Lin Qiao took out the medical emergency gun.

He treated the elves on the ground one by one, and the healing beam shot out from the muzzle made the elves that were still wailing stop screaming immediately... Then they were physically hypnotized by Lin Qiao.

As for the magical construct like the Wild Hunt Hound, he destroyed it on the spot with his smoke gun.

After all, this kind of magical construct is different from normal creatures. Even if its limbs are broken, as long as its core is intact or the damage is not too serious, it will still maintain its attack power.

With the Smasher around, it doesn’t make much difference whether these things are there or not.

I took out my cell phone and made a call.

Not long after, Arasaka's convoy arrived.

They moved all the elves present up in an orderly manner and injected them with sufficient sedatives to ensure that they could sleep soundly until dawn.

After dealing with everything on the scene in just a few minutes, he flew to Arasaka's Biological Research Institute with more than 40 elves.

Chapter 378 You saved your life, Eredin

Elves, a classic race that appears in countless fantasy stories.

They are proud, elegant, long-lived, close to nature, and skilled in magic...

If the content is not so serious, these elves will probably become the favorites of some races such as orcs, tentacle monsters, demons, etc.

Or maybe due to low fertility and the weakening reproductive desire of males in the species, they have to outsource such tasks to humans... or something.

But the elves of Ain El are an exception.

Although they fit most of the above descriptions, one difference is that the Ain El elves are not the pacifists that people imagine them to be.

On the contrary, they took the path of feudal militarism.

The army known as the "Wild Hunt" in many worlds is the slave-hunting team they use to capture slaves across the world...but now there is another person to be hunted, Ciri, and she is a key target.

After all, this involves the survival of their entire race.

Although it is a bit annoying that a good elf doesn't play the role of a mean elf but plays the role of militarism, it is generally acceptable.

But there was one thing that seemed outrageous to Lin Qiao - the strength of this group of militaristic long-ears.

I don't know if this is a common problem among the immortal species, but I feel bored because of having nothing to do.

Art, philosophy, mathematics... In these aspects, the Ain El Elves have mastered them all.

Because of his mastery of magic, he even pointed out the ability of cross-world teleportation, which allows him to travel around the multiverse.

But how to say it...

I remember there is a saying: If aliens come to attack humans, then the only way for humans to resist is to strive for peaceful coexistence.

After all, reality is not a Hollywood movie where one person can turn the tide of a battle.

To put it bluntly, the overall civilization level of the two sides is too different.

Faced with a civilization that can span the stars, human nuclear weapons are basically no different from larger firecrackers.

I just threw it out to make the alien gentlemen laugh.

But the elves of Ain El are different. Their military development... is really hard to describe.

Even though they have developed such as astonishing thing as cross-world teleportation, they still use melee weapons.

It feels as ridiculous as if aliens were invading the earth in interstellar battleships, but they were armed with ordinary wooden sticks and bows and arrows.

Even though the elves' physique and reaction ability are much stronger than those of ordinary humans, and the fact that they have magic also adds some points, overall they can only bully humans before modern times at best.

On the other hand, humans have difficulty even flying away from their home planet, but they still have all kinds of powerful weapons to work with.

After seeing this, I don’t know whether I should say that these elves love peace.

What's even more outrageous is that although they have always regarded humans as uncivilized monkeys, there is no reproductive isolation between elves and humans...

From a genetic perspective, it feels more like the relationship between wolves and dogs than the gap between humans and monkeys.

But despite all the complaints, these elves still provided Lin Qiao with a lot of help.

First, there is intelligence about the elves.

Even though Imlerith looks like a big fool, as the core commander of the Wild Hunt, he knows a lot of information.

For example, why didn’t Eredin and Karanthir, whom Lin Qiao originally wanted to trick, come this time?

The reason is very simple - I just don't have the time.

Capturing Ciri is certainly important, but the problem is that these two really don't have the time to capture anyone.

After all, Eredin drugged the Elf King, even though his original intention was to give the old Elf King some medicine so that he and Ciri would quickly give birth to an heir, so as to regain the Ancient Blood...

But the Elf King’s body doesn’t allow it!

In short, no matter what the original intention was, Eredin's regicide was a foregone conclusion.

If he didn't handle this matter properly, let alone capturing the Ancient Blood and avoiding being wiped out by the White Frost, he probably wouldn't be where he is now - his good brother Gael, who is loyal to the Elf King and the second-in-command of the Wild Hunt, would be the first one who would not let him go.

It is also because of this that even when faced with such an important matter as capturing Ciri, Eredin could only send another of his confidants, Ilerith, to go, while he himself stayed in the Elf Kingdom to handle related matters.

"Tsk, he really saved his life."

If we had killed this bastard in advance, there probably wouldn't have been so many troubles later.

Having said that, since that’s the case then there’s nothing more to say.

As for going to the Elf Kingdom to look for someone, it was not in Lin Qiao’s plan... After all, his range of activities was limited.

Moreover, if you go to the other side's base to cause trouble, you might get cursed or something and that would be very troublesome.

In addition to this, there is the research on ancient blood.

When Lin Qiao was studying Xili's genes, she discovered that this child's genes were different from those of ordinary people in some subtle ways.

He previously thought that it was the key to the power of the Ancient Blood, but after capturing enough samples, Lin Qiao roughly knew what it was.

Strictly speaking, that was the elven blood in Ciri's body that was diluted to an unknown amount... After all, Laura Doron, the source of the ancient blood, was an elf.

She is also one of the elven sages and the daughter of the Elf King.

However, although I understood it, the analysis of the ancient blood was still unclear.

These gene fragments belonging to the elves merely determine that the appearance and physical fitness of the owners are much stronger than those of ordinary humans, but to say that they are related to the ancient blood is a bit far-fetched.

Lin Qiao even took the risk of forcibly modifying the genes of one of the three captured Wild Hunt navigators into a human form.

Although the whole process could not be considered friendly communication between different races, judging from the final result, it did not affect his use of his abilities.

“So it’s actually about the soul?”

Although there is no actual evidence, current research results suggest that this is highly likely.

Even Ciri and the Navigator, whom he had previously used his genetic factors to completely restore 1:1 mimicry, were unable to exert any of the power of the ancient blood.

And if that were the case, it would explain why the elves of Ain El didn't create a second Ancient Blood, but instead went after Ciri.

Lin Qiao didn't know how the elves in the past had created the miracle of Laura Doron, but even the magic world itself couldn't figure out the soul thing, and what mattered was uniqueness...

Therefore, anyone who built a Gundam without leaving behind the blueprints will have a miserable death!

But no matter what, it is almost impossible to analyze and reproduce the power of ancient blood through scientific methods at present.

At least the technology in 2077 cannot do this.

Perhaps the only possible option is to create a clone based on Ciri's genes, or more simply and effectively create a test-tube baby...

However, for this something that could be done easily, Lin Qiao hesitated for a long time.

Chapter 379 The most basic bottom line of being a human being

Reason told Lin Qiao that this was an extremely good deal.

But a certain obsession buried deep in his heart, which had already disappeared a lot, told him that if he did this, he would lose something important.

"…I have killed many people, many of them innocent, and there is no such thing as emotion, but…"

Why do you get hung up on this kind of thing?

Looking at the email in front of him that had been edited and could be sent to the Institute of Biology at any time, Lin Qiao was unable to make a decision for a long time.

Although I have had similar thoughts before, thinking and doing are two completely different things.

It's just like when people watch the news on TV, they always say what they would do if they were in the same situation, but if they really switched positions, they can't say for sure what would happen.

While thinking, Lin Qiao accidentally looked through the build phone that he had exchanged from the system.

The photo album inside hasn't been updated for a long time - the most recent one was taken about two years ago.

It seemed that from that time on, he no longer cared much about these things.

Before I knew it, I had turned to the beginning of the album.

She was a little girl who was making a "yeah" gesture and looked a little shy - Fueguchi Hinami.

Even though there were no Build phones in the ghoul world, and the ones he used were broken, it didn't mean there was no way to restore them.

The system is somewhat useful after all.

Back to the point.

Looking at the little girl in the photo album who used to follow her and call her "big brother", Lin Qiao's thoughts drifted away.

If it were the same rainy day when she and Miss Ryoko were exposed, if it were me now, would I still go up to help the other person out of so-called passion?

Frankly speaking, it was really difficult for Lin Qiao to come to a conclusion on this issue.

Just then, the automatic sensor door of the room opened... He remembered that he had clearly locked it.

"I said, I gave you the ICE virus, not to hack my door lock... at least knock on the door."

Lin Qiao sighed, looking somewhat helpless, and made useless complaints to Lucy who came in uninvited.

"You've been in your room for two days. Is there something wrong?"
