Chapter 636 The Meaning and Cost of War
"Take out the space storage device."

The bull-headed soldier held the token that was emitting blue light, and looked at Li Guanqi displeasedly, "I have to wait until I tell you to take it? Next time, take the initiative to take it out! Waste of time!"

Li Guanqi didn't say a word, just took out a space necklace from his collar, untied the chain and handed it to the bull-headed soldier.

"Om-"

The bull-headed soldier took the space necklace, and then took the token that turned back to green light, and swept it over Li Guanqi again, but it didn't turn blue again in the end.

"Second-order human beings, a space storage device."

The bull-headed soldier turned around and threw the space necklace behind him.

"There are no items that need to pay customs duties, let them go."

Another dark green bull-headed soldier took the space necklace, inspected it, and threw it back to Li Guanqi.

Li Guanqi put on the space necklace and walked slowly towards Longji.

"I don't understand."

Longji's voice sounded in his mind, "These tauren want to check the space storage device, why don't you hide the real one and put a fake one outside? It's unnecessary?"

"In these days, which person who enters the city does not have a space storage device on his body?"

Li Guanqi passed her by without stopping, "There is nothing, but it makes people suspicious, let's go."

"Ok?"

Longji followed his footsteps with some doubts, "I remember that 3000 years ago, even the seventh-order human beings didn't necessarily have space storage devices. Is this suspicious?"

"Times have changed, Lady Longji."

Li Guanqi walked straight to the streets in the city, "1800 years ago, a new technology appeared, which greatly reduced the quality requirements for space stones for making space storage devices. Now space storage devices are very common."

"Well, I'm behind."

Longji shrugged his shoulders, then looked around, and began to look at the streets and all kinds of orcs coming and going.

While admiring the scenery of Xuanye King City, she asked in Li Guanqi's mind: "We are just here to determine the coordinates of a space in the city, so now we come in, isn't it finished? What should we do next? Identify the tauren Is the king here?"

"he is."

Li Guanqi walked unhurriedly, frowning slightly, "The moment I entered the city, I could feel the mighty aura of the Nine Palaces Dzogchen, without any concealment, covering the entire royal city almost all the time, but only the Ninth Level Dzogchen Only the soul can feel... um, deterrence?"

"Eh? The snacks sold by the birdman seem interesting, let's go and have a look."

Long Ji walked towards a market with a face full of novelty.

Li Guanqi didn't stop him, but quietly followed behind.

The personality of this artifact is really quite changeable, compared to the icy and glamorous at the first meeting, it is actually a bit lively now.

Well, maybe it doesn't change much?
Li Guanqi thought about it carefully, Longji seemed to have a cold face only when facing Ares, and the rest of the time it was normal.

Poor Ares...

In the next ten minutes, Li Guanqi and Long Ji wandered around the Xuanye King City, ate some special snacks, bought some traditional tauren costumes, and went to sightseeing spots in the city.

I also went to look around the Minos Palace in the center of the city.

There, the powerful aura of the King of the Tauren became clearer to Li Guanqi.

Generally speaking, Xuanye King City is a city full of civilization and tauren culture.

This clean and tidy city is completely different from most tauren tribes on the grassland, and it is completely like a civilization of two eras.

"big sister!"

Suddenly, Li Guanqi and Long Ji were walking on the street, when an immature girl's voice sounded from behind.

Longji turned around and looked down.

I saw a little minotaur wearing a floral skirt, looking up at her with those moist blue eyes, and said in a girl's voice, "Big sister, you are so beautiful, I'm still waiting for you!" I have never seen a sister as beautiful as you."

"You're cute too."

Long Ji smiled, squatted down, and gently rubbed her fluffy yellow head.

This bull-headed little girl is long-haired, and with those big humanized moist eyes, she is really cute to be honest.

"Big sister, this is for you."

The bull-headed girl opened the small pocket at her waist, took out two small crumpled flowers, and handed one of the red flowers to Longji, "I just picked this in the garden."

"Yeah! Thank you!"

Longji received it in surprise, holding the flower in his hand, smiling like a flower.

"Big brother, this one is for you."

Then, the little bull-headed girl also walked up to Li Guanqi and handed him a small yellow flower.

"……thanks."

Li Guanqi couldn't react as exaggeratedly as Long Ji, and just took it with a smile.

"Bye-Bye!"

After delivering the flowers, the little bull-headed girl waved to them, then turned around and left with a jump, and soon got together with a few bull-headed friends, and walked towards other streets, laughing and talking constantly.

"Um, does it feel a little sudden?"

Long Ji looked at the little red flower in his hand, and looked at Li Guanqi with a smile.

"It's just a custom."

Li Guanqi looked calm, looked at the backs of the group of calves, and said softly: "Yellow hair, blue eyes, with flowers on her body... That girl should be a tauren from the Shutya clan.

For the tauren of this clan, giving flowers to the beautiful is a common blessing for others and themselves, hoping that the other person will become more and more beautiful, and also hope that they can become more and more beautiful like the other person.

It's nothing to be concerned about. The Shautya tauren can send dozens of flowers a day when they go shopping in such a big city.

Let's go, Longji, it's time for us to leave. "

After speaking, Li Guanqi turned and left.

"Since you lined up outside the city, your expression has been wrong."

Long Ji followed his footsteps and said softly.

"..."

Li Guanqi was silent.

"Hey, are you wondering... the price of war?"

Long Ji walked beside him side by side, did not speak, but the voice sounded directly in Li Guanqi's mind:

"In this Xuanye King City of the tauren, there are many damned guys, such as the group of powerful children riding centaurs that we saw outside the city at the beginning.

However, you also saw a lot of innocent guys, such as the boss selling snacks, the salesperson in the clothing store, the sanitation cleaner on the street, or the little calf who just sent flowers to us... Wait, wait, they Also tauren, but they are innocent civilians.

However, two days later, when you came here with the dragon army and started a battle with the king of the tauren, how many innocent people in the city will be spared?
The aftermath of the Nine Palaces Dzogchen battle, razing a city to the ground should be easy.

Damn, not damn, basically all will die.

Li Guanqi! "

Saying that, Longji took a step across, blocked Li Guanqi's footsteps, and stared seriously into his eyes, "You're softening your heart, aren't you? You're afraid of hurting these innocent orc people."

"Anyway, I won't be soft-hearted."

Li Guanqi bypassed Longji and continued to move forward.

"But I'll try to save it."

After walking a few steps, Li Guanqi suddenly lowered his head and said: "If the king of the Tauren is really a real king as Otto said, then he should agree to go with me to a no man's land to fight One fight, so as not to affect innocent civilians."

"Then what if he doesn't talk to you at all and starts fighting?"

Long Ji followed and looked at him meaningfully, "Are you afraid of the innocent people in the city?"

"will not."

Li Guanqi raised his head, his eyes were firm, "I have my goal to accomplish, so I will not be soft, even if it will cause rivers of blood."

"We should go back, Longji."

After finishing speaking, Li Guanqi continued to move forward, walking towards the exit of the North City Gate.

……

……

At night, the moon is bright and clear, and the stars are not visible.

The ancestral nest of the Dragon Clan, the Lake of Light.

Li Guanqi was alone, standing by the lake filled with fluorescent light, his eyes were flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"king."

Suddenly, there was a movement of shaking from the surrounding giant tree forest, and an old white ape with a height of [-] meters came slowly with his arms hanging down.

"Simon?"

Li Guanqi looked at him, "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay to be old."

The old white ape looked down at Li Guanqi, and calmly said, "It should be you who has something to do."

"..."

Li Guanqi didn't speak.

And the old white ape took out a golden pill from nowhere and swallowed it, and then its huge body began to shrink rapidly, turning into a 2-meter-tall white ape in the blink of an eye, with the body of Li Guanqi Type is flat.

The shrunken old white ape came to Li Guanqi's side, looked at the lake of light filled with fluorescence, and said with a smile: "You are worried, worried about the changes that this war will bring, those good changes, and those bad ones. Change, or rather, fear of ... the cost of war."

"That word again."

Li Guanqi had a complicated expression, "This is the second time I've heard this word today."

"I heard it from Lord Longji?"

The old white ape raised his head and looked at the floating island above the sea of ​​clouds in the sky, "It's not surprising. I also heard this word from Lord Longji back then. She hates war very much, so the old man is actually very curious. Lord Longji knows that you are going to lead the dragon clan to participate in the war, so how can you follow you?"

"Who knows."

Li Guanqi rubbed his brows wearily.

"You hate war too, don't you?"

The old white ape looked at him, and said slowly, "I can see that you hate war, but for some reason, you have to participate in the war."

"..."

Li Guanqi was silent for a moment.

After a while, he looked at the Lake of Light in front of him, and said with complicated eyes: "Three years ago, I met a mercenary team in Southern Border. They were all victims of the war. The friction war between Southern Border and Daluo Among them, they lost their parents and became orphans.

There is a girl in the team named Boulma.

She told me that she didn't understand, didn't understand those dignitaries, they were so rich and had everything they needed, but why did they start a war, why they plundered the border of Daluo, and why they angered Daluo and sent troops to crusade.

She didn't understand why the struggle between the rich and powerful wanted to ruin the lives of ordinary people, but it also caused the destruction of innocent people like them.

She said that the war took away many things.

She said she hated war.

I said then, me too.

ha... me too...

But what am I going to do now?
How ironic is it to be a war-starter, oh, to do what I used to hate the most?Is not it? "

At the end, Li Guanqi scratched the white hair on the top of his head with some irritability.

"Then why did you start the war?"

The old white ape asked softly, "For power? For status? Or to satisfy one's own ambition?"

"Do not."

Li Guanqi shook his head lightly, "I am not for these, I am for protecting the people from the same hometown as me, and for being able to return to my hometown."

He looked at the fluorescent lake in front of him, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Now, right now, Simon, do you know that during the time I was chatting with you, within the Great Wall of the East, Southern Xinjiang, the Shogunate, The Eastern Ocean Islands, the Tulip Empire in the West, the battlefields of various countries, and even wilderness areas...

There are many people from the same hometown as me, who are becoming slaves in every corner of the world at this moment, suffering and suffering, life and death are involuntary.

And as time goes by, more and more people will come here.

Among them, those who came to the grassland were the worst!
So I have to build a country, and I want to build a country on the grassland!
I have to build a dynasty that is strong enough to force these powerful empires like the Tulip Empire, treat my hometown people kindly, and send them over intact.

Only then can I give everyone a safe haven.

Only when the dynasty I established is strong enough, those empires will be afraid, and when they find the people in my hometown, they will not choose to enslave them, but choose to treat them carefully and kindly, and send them to me obediently, for fear of offending me .

I have to realize this situation.

I can't wait.

Of course I can wait!

I can wait for me to gradually become stronger. If the Bagua level is not enough, I will be at the Jiugong level. If the Jiugong level is not enough, I will be at the Jiugong level. After that, I will be invincible in the world, and I can easily conquer the world without any risk!

But how long will it take?

God knows!
I can wait, can those people wait?

When I just arrived in the grassland a while ago, I saw many people from my hometown who were enslaved and insulted by the tauren clan. Under the tauren's hands, they couldn't even be called a 'person'!
At this very moment, where I can't see, there are more, more people being humiliated and even dying!
They can't wait.

I must establish a country as soon as possible, and establish a dynasty strong enough to accept all the people from my hometown who came to this foreign world as soon as possible, so that they can continue to have the right to survive.

must.

I have to do this! "

At the end, Li Guanqi clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth.

"Maybe be more selfish and live more freely?"

The old white ape looked at him and said meaningfully: "King, have you ever thought about not caring about the life and death of those people in your hometown? In this way, you can take your time and relax more, can't you?"

"I can not do it."

Li Guanqi shook his head lightly, "You're right, but I can't do it after all."

"Can't you even be selfish?"

Hearing this, the old white ape narrowed his eyes slightly, then looked at Li Guanqi and smiled lightly, "There are always 'stupid' people like you in the world who can't even be selfish and always want to protect Weak, even if you are not strong enough.

However, I appreciate people like you very much. This world needs more 'stupid' people like you to make it a better place. "

"..."

Li Guanqi looked at the old ape, slightly startled.

"My lord, war always has a price, that's inevitable."

The old white ape patted him on the shoulder and said softly: "Don't resist it, but face it calmly, the meaning of war is more important than the price.

And what this war means to you, you've found it, haven't you? "

After all, the old ape withdrew his hand, turned around, and left slowly until he disappeared into the night in the forest.

"..."

Li Guanqi looked at the direction it was leaving with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Yes."

In the end, Li Guanqi raised his head, looked at the bright moon in the night sky, his eyes were completely firm.

"This war is meaningful and meaningful, and war always has a price, it is inevitable!"

……

……

Time is fleeting.

Two days later!
The day of the expedition has arrived!

However, the outside world is not yet dawn, and the dragon army has not yet formally assembled.

Li Guanqi, on the other hand, turned on the simulator and entered it.

【Heart of Time and Space】

[Current remaining simulation times: 5]

[Duration of each simulation in the strange world: 10 days]

"Start the simulation."

In the world surrounded by black mist, Li Guanqi walked slowly and said to the light curtain panel.

[I thought you decided not to waste this opportunity. After all, you have an army of dragons in your hand, and two Nine Palace-level Dzogchen Yinglongs to help out, plus yourself, to surprise a tauren king, which is almost crushing I really can't think of any surprises. 】

"You have to be safe."

Li Guanqi smiled.

【Oh? 】

【real or fake? 】

【Why do I feel that, in this simulation, you actually want to know more about the safety of the innocent people in Xuanye King City than the sure victory? 】

"I just want to make sure nothing happens."

Li Guanqi said calmly.

【as you wish. 】

[The simulation begins. 】

[On the first day, after dawn, the dragon clan gathered. You went to Xuanye King City according to the original plan, and led the dragon clan to launch a surprise attack on the tauren clan. 】

[In the end, the tauren king died in battle. 】

[Under the follow-up attack of tens of thousands of giant dragons, the tauren clan was forced to submit to you, and you have won nearly one-third of the grassland's territory. 】

[The next day, you went to the Centaur King City, subdued the Centaur clan, and found the intelligence officer of the Centaur Royal Family, and asked him to start searching for information about the survivors of the Ying clan. 】

【Then, you go to the royal city of Beimang Royal Court. 】

"Hey, did you do it on purpose?"

Li Guanqi looked at the light curtain panel helplessly.

This guy obviously omitted the battle process of Xuanye King City on purpose.

【(What you said, you just want to make sure there are no accidents. I have already shown the results of the battle, so there are no accidents)】

【(Of course, you are the master, if you have to see it, I will show it now?)】

"..."

"Do not."

Li Guanqi was silent for a while, then shook his head lightly, and said calmly: "Let me face it myself when the time comes."

【(That's right)】

【(Simulation continues)】

[After you arrived at Beimang King City, you met an old friend there——Mu Ya, a prairie woman who had a brief relationship with the Nanjiang Headquarters of the Magic Academy. 】

[After exchanging pleasantries, you met Mu Ya's father, a high-ranking dignitary in the royal court of Beimang. 】

[Under his recommendation, you successfully met the contemporary Khan of the Northern Mang Royal Court and had a peaceful meeting. 】

[You learned at the meeting that the abdication of royal power must be performed willingly by the current owner of the royal power without external interference, otherwise this special abdication ceremony will not be successful. 】

[The Khan said that he has no right to make decisions, you have to enter the holy land of the Beimang court, and let the remaining will of the ancestors of the court decide whether to abdicate the kingship of the grassland to you. 】

[You agree. 】

[Khan said that the ritual to awaken the will of the ancestors will take several days, otherwise the will of the ancestors in the Holy Land will not respond to your arrival. 】

[On the seventh day, everything is ready. 】

【You have entered the Royal Court Holy Land. 】

[In it, you suddenly felt the remnants of the will of the khans of the past dynasties. You knew that the opportunity was not lost, so you quickly activated the "Synesthesia" star skill, and fell into the will perception. 】

[Time passed, 3 days passed in a blink of an eye, and the tenth day of the simulation ended. 】

[The simulation time has reached the upper limit. 】

[The simulation ends. 】

[Current remaining simulation times: 4]

"alright."

Seeing this result, Li Guanqi turned around and left, waving his hands with his back to the light curtain panel, "See you next time, Brother Time and Space."
