My Endless Life

Li Qi's alchemy was set up on the second floor.

Come out of the living room, follow the stairs, pass through the corridor on the second floor, and walk to the hall at the end, which is Li Qi's alchemy room.

Butler Bolen took Lilian to the door of the alchemy room, and he was relieved when he saw that there was no 'Do Not Disturb' sign hanging above it.

He smiled and nodded at Lilian, then raised his hand and knocked gently on the door of the alchemy room.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Master, Miss Lilian is here, do you want to meet her?"

No sound came from the back of the room.

Bolen and Lilian looked at each other, raised their hands and were about to knock on the door again.

As a result, before Bolen's hand could fall, one of the double doors in front of him was opened from the inside.

Dim yellow light came from the alchemy room, which was the light reflected by the sunlight on the carpet.

A special mixed smell of wood and metal came from the alchemy room.

Because the smell was slightly pungent, Lillian subconsciously opened her fan to cover her mouth and nose.

Then she looked towards the person who opened the door.

No, it wasn't a human who opened the door.

It was a mechanical creation.

Its body is square, with several joints made of metal below it, and several 'arms' with various tool parts above it.

One of the tweezer-like hands was placed on the door handle of the alchemy room.

Apparently it helped open the door.

The square-shaped mechanical creation returned to its original position with footsteps of "click, click, click" after opening the door.

Upon seeing this, Bolen immediately explained to Lillian:

"This is one of my master's alchemy puppets. I call him 'Xiao Jin'."

"Puppet...Puppet!?"

Lilian looked in disbelief.

She is a member of the Urno family, and she personally handed the alchemy codex to Li Qi, so she knows a little about the contents of the alchemy codex.

Lilian knew very well that alchemical creations like 'puppet' were the main things mentioned in the alchemy manuscripts.

The Urno family has been trying to study puppets before, but in the end they were unable to produce any results.

The result is now...

How long did it take before Li Qi got the alchemy codex? Have you created a puppet that can move freely? !

Lilian expressed shock at this, and at the same time her eyes were shining, and she admired Li Qiduo a little more in her heart.

What so many people, so many talented magicians, and talented alchemists couldn't accomplish, Li Qi could do it alone in a few months.

How could such an outstanding person not be admired?

Lilian thought as her eyes wandered around the alchemy room, trying to find Li Qi's figure.

She didn't have to search for too long before she saw the boy playing with a puppet on the side of the room.

Perhaps because he hadn't been out for a long time, the boy's dark blond hair was a little long and messy.

With his back to Lilian, he seemed to have just noticed someone coming in, and turned around to look at the two people who entered.

"Beren...oh, and Miss Lillian, is it already this time?"

The young man wore gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and the eye sockets under the glasses were slightly dark, as if he had not slept well.

Compared with the day we met at Urno's house, the boy was a little less sharp and a little more life-like.

He took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and then said:

"I'm sorry, Miss Lillian, for keeping you waiting. Bolen, please take Miss Lillian to the living room first. I'll be there soon."

"Master, Miss Lilian has been waiting in the living room for a long time."

"Oh... then take her for a walk in the garden."

Li Qi said indifferently, unaware of the hidden meaning of Bolen's words.

Bo Lun was a little helpless. He actually wanted to remind the head of the house that he could take advantage of this period of time to cultivate a relationship with the future wife of the house head.

But obviously Li Qi didn't care about this at all.

He only has eyes for the alchemy puppets he made.

As a subordinate, it was difficult for Bolen to say anything to the head of the family. After receiving Li Qi's order, he turned back to look at Lilian.

Lilian said nonchalantly: "Then let's go to the garden first, Butler Bolan."

She said and looked in Li Qi's direction again.

Although the puppet Li Qi was making was blocked by his body, Lillian could still vaguely observe the general appearance of the puppet.

It was a humanoid puppet.

Or rather.

It was a body very similar to a human being...

Dolls.

…

It has been mentioned numerous times in the alchemy manuscripts left by the Dharma God that it is not difficult to refine a puppet.

The difficulty is how to enable them to act independently without the magic power supply of the magician.

The Dharma God was stumped at this point.

But Li Qi solved this most critical problem.

Through the amplification of the magic device, he created the magic storage technique, which can temporarily store some magic power as a backup energy supply.

One of the three magic spells fixed on the aircraft is this magic storage technique.

As long as you find a way to strengthen the magic storage technique on the puppet, and then store the magic power inside, the magic power stored in it will provide energy for the puppet's activities.

In short, Li Qi created a magic version of the 'battery'.

With batteries as a supply, Li Qi could start creating movable puppets.

The first thing created by Li Qi was the puppet 'Xiao Jin' who just opened the door for Bolun and Lillian.

Its inspiration comes from Benben in the movie "The Wandering Earth", but Benben has many more "arms" for work.

Xiao Jin's creation was very successful, but also very unsuccessful.

Because even with energy drive, Xiao Jin doesn't have much ability to act independently.

It was also at this time that Li Qi discovered that a crucial thing was missing from the alchemy manuscript.

That is the ‘instruction’ to the puppet.

Without corresponding instructions, even if the puppets are created and driven by energy, they can still only rely on the manual operation of the magician to perform their operations.

During this period, Li Qi tried to add instructions to the puppet, but the results were not good.

The command was successfully added, but the number of commands that can be added may be limited.

Currently, there are only a few instructions from Xiao Jin.

Action, hearing the sound to open the door, closing the door, turning off the light, and hearing the corresponding words, holding out the corresponding tool on the arm.

It's similar to those artificially retarded robots from previous lives.

This obviously did not satisfy Li Qi.

After all, if that were the case, the movable dolls envisioned by Li Qi would basically be just an unattainable dream.

"...In this life, it probably won't work."

Li Qi thought, raised his hand and looked at his palm.

His excessive magic power syndrome was finally noticed by himself. Li Qi also saw that the flesh around the magic circuit inside his body had begun to be assimilated by the magic power.

There was no pain, and it did not affect his movements, but Li Qi could feel the passage of life.

The more magic power is used and the more magic power is accumulated, the more serious this symptom will be. However, during this period, Li Qi has been using alchemical conversion techniques to make puppets, which aggravated his condition.

It was originally expected that it would take at most five years, but now according to Li Qi's estimation, three years would be enough.

He died at the age of eighteen, exactly the same age as his first life.

"The first life..."

Thinking of his first life, Li Qi looked at the doll he was studying again.

It was a doll that looked like a girl. It had a female body, but the wooden head had no facial features or expressions.

Li Qi has not produced it yet.

This was the first doll Li Qi tried to make, and it was also a doll based on his friend from his first life.

Li Qi's friend is called Zhang Yang.

She is Li Qi's first friend after his reincarnation. She is the guitarist and lead singer in the band, and the pistachio in the team.

He was also the first person Li Qi had a crush on.

It's just a pity...

His eyes dimmed a bit, Li Qi stopped looking at the unfinished doll, turned around and left the alchemy room.

When guests came to the house, he had to entertain them to some extent.

…

"As for the wedding, you can do whatever you want. I only have one request, keep it as simple as possible."

After knowing Lilian's purpose, Li Qi said calmly.

Seeing that Li Qi didn't seem to care about the wedding, Lillian asked in a low voice:

"Colonel, do you have any other comments?"

"No more, there is only this request. Also, Miss Lilian, I think you know very well why you and I got married, so I hope you won't disturb my life after marriage."

Li Qi's attitude was slightly cold. When he said this, he didn't even look at Lillian. Instead, he held the newspaper and read the latest news.

After knowing that his lifeline was getting shorter and shorter, Li Qi found that his emotions became more and more indifferent.

He felt like he didn't care about anything except alchemy.

Even now, I regret agreeing to the marriage with the Urno family.

However, he had received someone else's alchemy manuscript, and it would not be good to go back on his word, so Li Qicai did not refuse.

But there still needs to be some explanation.

Li Qi didn't want to be bothered by these messy things in the last moments of his life.

Li Qi's words were very ruthless, and Lilian's eyes, which were the same color as Li Qi's, dimmed a bit.

She nodded slightly and said:

"I see."

"Is there anything else?"

"…there is none left."

"Then please ask Miss Lillian to go back. It's already very late now."

Li Qi ruthlessly issued an eviction order.

Lilian was stunned for a moment, and something crystal clear seemed to be flowing out of her eyes.

Butler Bo Lun couldn't bear to see this. He reminded Li Qi softly:

"Master, you can let Miss Lilian stay. This... is probably Miss Lilian's idea."

Lilian nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then said:

"Colonel, I...I can stay here today! Even if you want, Colonel, I can take a bath with you..."

"unnecessary."

Hearing what Lilian said, Li Qi frowned even more.

He turned to look at Lilian, and when he saw her aggrieved and shy expression, he understood what the Urno family was planning.

The communication among nobles is inherently chaotic, and it is common for them to stay overnight in various families or even hold some kind of unnamed party.

Li Qi and Lilian are about to get married, so it doesn't matter even if Lilian stays here.

As long as Li Qi wants to, he can do whatever he wants to Lilian today.

But unfortunately, Li Qi's mind is now filled with his alchemy doll.

Moreover, Lillian is only fourteen years old, and Li Qi does not want to commit a crime.

He said ruthlessly:

"You can stay if you want, Boren, and prepare a guest room for her. If there's nothing else..."

Li Qi was talking, and suddenly his voice stopped again.

Seeing this, Boren immediately asked:

"Master, do you have any other requests?"

"...No, I just saw some news."

Li Qi said, and put the newspaper on the table of the garden stone table.

Boren looked at the newspaper and saw such a news on it.

The title of the news was——

"The capital of England was hit by a meteorite"
