Chapter 71

But Lin Qi didn't want her to be silent and asked, "You saw it, I have the power of Preservation, so can I ignite the Flame Lance now?"

What could the phantom of the Guardian's will say?

Even if she had ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare.

She could only force a smile.

"I... we approve of you; no, thank you for your approval of us! This Flame Lance, you can ignite it if you want, and extinguish it if you want; it's up to you."

"Is that so? Then I won't be polite."

Material world.

When Lin Qi opened his eyes again, he saw Cocolia opposite him looking at the Flame Lance in his hand in a daze.

"The Flame Lance... has been ignited?" Cocolia said, unable to believe it.

"This? Sorry, I said I would return it to you." Lin Qi's tone was calm, "But it doesn't matter; since I can ignite it, I can naturally..."

"Flame Lance, extinguish!"

Lin Qi said casually, and then, under Cocolia's ghost-seeing expression, the Flame Lance, which was burning with fire a moment ago, turned into a big lump of ice the next moment.

For a time.

Cocolia's worldview collapsed.

Whose Flame Lance is this? Although she lost her heart of Preservation, it shouldn't be something you can do whatever you want with in your hands.

You are not the Supreme Guardian.

At this time.

Lin Qi said again, "Although I said I would return it to you, it's not now; I still want to study some things inside it."

"But rest assured, I will not damage it."

"Additionally, I have already known what you have done over the past few hundred years; hmm... how should I put it, I still admire it quite a bit; you were actually able to persist for hundreds of years; if it were ordinary people, they would have been extinct long ago."

"So, out of my personal admiration, I decided to help you once."

Help us?

Cocolia calmed down.

She came to this place where the Stellaron was buried, not on a whim.

But out of worry.

Worrying that after the Legion solved the Fragmentum, they would turn around and attack Belobog.

This worry was definitely not groundless, but a foreseeable thing.

And whether it was the Fragmentum or Belobog, without external interference, it was absolutely impossible to block the Legion.

Cocolia knew this well.

So, or rather, under the bewitchment of the Stellaron, she came here.

Just to make a wish to the Stellaron at the most critical moment.

Let it...

Launch another cold wave!

No way.

Only in this way could they resist the Legion again.

She was even prepared to enter the Fragmentum opened by the Stellaron, that is, to sacrifice herself.

After all, making a wish to the Stellaron without paying anything was impossible.

Unless one could endure the Stellaron's distortion of the wish.

Regarding this.

Cocolia accepted it calmly.

She knew very well that everything had a price.

For example, now.

What this mysterious man said, that he could help them once, did it mean they didn't have to pay anything?

Cocolia didn't believe anyone would be so kind.

So, she asked.

"Then may I ask..."

"What is the price?"

The whole population converted into the Legion? Or enslaved by this mysterious man? Or something else that was not easy to say?

Cocolia was prepared.

Because she knew she was powerless to resist.

But just when Cocolia was uneasy, Lin Qi took out a contract with special material and said.

"The price is..."

"You have to admit the debt you owed the IPC about seven hundred years ago, and now you have to repay it to me."

Huh?

Debt?

Cocolia was stunned.

She tried hard to recall before she remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

At that time, in order to resist the Legion and build the city, they borrowed a large sum of credits from the IPC.

It's just a pity that they lost contact later and became "deadbeats" to the IPC.

After some more time passed, except for the Supreme Guardian who could read the documents of past generations and still have some impression of this matter, I'm afraid few people in the whole of Belobog knew about it.

But this matter had indeed happened.

How to choose...

There was no need to choose at all.

Unless Cocolia's brain was short-circuited, she might refuse.

This was someone who could even control the Legion!

What else was there to be afraid of following him?

The only thing to know in advance is...

"May I ask, Your Excellency, how much money does Belobog owe?"

"About fifty billion."

When Cocolia heard this, she couldn't believe it, because...

"Is it only that much?"

51. Sealing the Stellaron! Two paths left for Belobog.

Cocolia only remembered that Belobog did owe such a debt.

But how much money exactly, she really didn't pay attention.

After all, that debt, according to the contract, had expired several hundred years ago.

But even after so long, she hadn't seen anyone from the IPC come to collect it.

So, where would she care about this?

Basically, the last few Supreme Guardians just glanced at this debt and threw it away.

It's even uncertain if some Supreme Guardians wished the IPC could come and take over this mess.

At this moment.

Cocolia's thoughts were about the same.

Of course, she wasn't someone who would attach herself to just anyone, but at least she had to choose someone who could solve Belobog's crisis.

For example, this mysterious man in front of her.

Therefore, after Lin Qi proposed that the debt was "fifty billion," she exclaimed directly.

How could it be...

So little?

Although fifty billion was not a small amount, it could indeed be paid off.

Although Belobog didn't have many people.

But at most one or two generations, the debt could be cleared.
