Chapter 69

~6 min read 1,001 words

Cocolia felt somewhat dejected and desperate.

But just then, two figures descended from the sky.

Along with them came a male voice.

"This cavalry lance is interesting; is it the driver for that construction machine?"

"Can you lend it to me to take a look?"

50. Igniting the Flame Lance? The price of being saved.

Hearing the voice.

Cocolia was stunned for a moment and hurriedly looked up.

I saw that the source of the voice was a young man, and beside him was a woman with an indifferent expression, also very young.

However, what really made Cocolia frown was that these two seemed...

Not afraid of the Legion at all?

Cocolia was still thinking.

The next moment.

Something even more jaw-dropping happened to her.

I saw that the Trampler, which she feared so much, actually left without hesitation after the man waved his hand!

The man didn't even look at the Trampler again.

As if doing a trivial little thing.

Cocolia took a deep breath and reached a conclusion she had to believe.

That is...

This man can control the Legion!

Thinking further, the Legion in Belobog suddenly started attacking the Fragmentum; it might also be the work of the man in front of her!

So...

What is the background of this man?

Because she was too shocked, Cocolia even forgot the man's inquiry.

It wasn't until the man spoke again that she reacted.

"Don't want to lend it?"

"Also, this cavalry lance should be very important to you; it's understandable not to want to lend it out."

The man paused and continued.

"How about I trade something with you? I guarantee it's better than the lance in your hand."

"And I'm just borrowing it to take a look; I'll return it to you after I'm done."

"How about it, this condition is not bad, consider it?"

Cocolia tried to calm herself down and said cautiously.

"Your Excellency wants to see the cavalry lance in my hand; naturally, I will not refuse, but... I have a question that I hope to get an answer to from you. For this, I can forgo your item; what do you think?"

Lin Qi nodded and did not refuse.

However, if you really count it, whether the thing Lin Qi gives or asking Lin Qi a question is more precious is really hard to say.

For some scholars of the Genius Society, it must be the latter. Because a word of advice from Lin Qi could save them half a lifetime of detours.

But for those with insufficient knowledge, the item is more useful.

And for the people on Jarilo-VI, it was even more so.

Lin Qi didn't think that the people on this planet could ask any valuable questions.

However, since this woman was more willing to ask a question, Lin Qi wouldn't refuse.

"Go ahead and ask."

Hearing Lin Qi's agreement, Cocolia breathed a sigh of relief, and her legs felt a bit weak.

No way.

Who let Lin Qi put so much pressure on her?

"May I ask, Your Excellency... can you control the Legion?" Cocolia asked.

It was indeed this question.

Lin Qi had actually guessed it long ago, and then he replied.

"More or less."

"But it's a bit different from the Lord Ravagers; specifically how it's different..."

"It's not convenient to elaborate."

Cocolia's pupils shrank, and she couldn't help but ask another question.

"Then is the Legion in Belobog also controlled by you?"

"That's two questions."

Lin Qi held up two fingers to gesture, but still replied.

"It's me."

"Then... what about the supplies in the black box?"

"Also me."

Lin Qi nodded.

Hearing the affirmative reply, Cocolia didn't know what mood to use to face the current situation.

Gratitude?

But the disaster had not yet passed.

What the purpose of this man in front of her was, she hadn't figured out either.

What if he had ulterior motives?

Dropping supplies and moving the Legion away couldn't prove that the man in front of her was a good person.

Fear?

To be honest, there weren't many things that could make Cocolia afraid anymore. The only thing she feared was losing her daughter and her daughter having no future.

Moreover, the power of this man was simply not something she could contend with; fear was useless.

For a time.

Cocolia's mood was somewhat complicated.

However, she still respectfully handed over the ice-blue long lance in her hand.

Even if this long lance was passed down from the first Supreme Guardian and was the heirloom of every generation of Supreme Guardian.

Lin Qi took the long lance and examined it slightly.

He saw the clues.

Speaking of which.

The reason why this cavalry lance made Lin Qi curious had nothing to do with whether it was the driver of that construction machine.

Lin Qi easily saw through the structure of that construction machine and, in a very short time, dozens of improvement methods appeared in his mind.

If he really wanted to study it in depth, he could transform it even more exaggeratedly.

What really made Lin Qi care was the cavalry lance itself.

"Sure enough."

"This lance is related to the Amber Lord; it looks like... it should be some kind of city-building material? Or a very important part?"

Lin Qi wasn't sure either.

It was mainly because the Amber Lord, even to his biggest "fan club," hadn't responded many times.

For the materials sent by the "fans," he hadn't even used them.

So until now, few people knew what the walls built by the Amber Lord in light-year units were defending against, or what they were made of.

Only his imitators built cities, bunkers, fortresses, etc., on planets.

The material of this Flame Lance was highly likely related to it.

Besides...

There was still "something" in this lance.

Lin Qi closed his eyes; his improved genes, which had integrated with the Silicoid race, allowed him to see special realms in the material world that were difficult to perceive.
