My Endless Life

After changing his clothes and moving his shoulders to make sure that it would not affect his movements, Li Qicai said to Mary sincerely:

"Mary, thank you very much this time."

"Thank you, I didn't save you for you."

Mary snorted softly and said:

"I just want you to be my sparring partner to hone my strength."

She raised her head as she spoke, but Jerome could clearly see her excitement after being thanked.

If there was a tail behind her, it would probably be flying into the sky.

Li Qi was not surprised by what Mary said. This young lady with a twisted personality was always like this. Li Qi, who was always challenged by Mary, had long been accustomed to this.

He still sincerely thanked Mary, and then said:

"However, I have one more thing to ask of you."

"Tell me what it is, if it's simple, I won't be able to help you."

Mary crossed her arms with a haughty attitude.

Li Qi said seriously and sincerely:

"Find a way to take me away from Lankana. As long as you can do it, I can teach you some of my unique knight skills and magic."

As soon as Li Qi said these words, Jerome and Mary were both stunned.

Jerome's expression became even weirder, and Mary asked in a low voice after being stunned:

"So...you are indeed a spy..."

"It doesn't matter now." Li Qi said, "Mary, will you help me?"

Li Qi waited for Mary's reply.

Jerome looked at the two of them without speaking.

After a while, Mary took a deep breath and said:

"I can't make the decision, but my father can. If you want to leave Lankana, just go and talk to my father."

It was no accident that Mary found Li Qi.

It was the second princess, Ilona, ​​who contacted Grand Duke Mills and asked Grand Duke Mills to find a way to find Li Qi before the eldest prince.

Not only Archduke Mills was sent out, but also the secret troops that Ilona was currently cultivating.

It's just that Mary found Li Qi first.

So even if this incident hadn't happened, Mary would still have to tell her father Evans Mills when he turned around. Only he could decide whether Li Qi should stay or go.

…

Li Qi agreed to meet with Archduke Mills without much hesitation.

At the dinner that day, Mills took time to meet with Li Qi.

Contrary to what he imagined, when he first heard that Archduke Mills was the Minister of Military Affairs, Li Qi thought he was tall and burly.

A general in the traditional sense.

But when he met Mills, Li Qi discovered that the Grand Duke was much thinner than he thought.

He is of average height, the average height of English people, and his face is delicate, not as rugged as Li Qi imagined with a full beard.

Compared with soldiers, the people in front of me are more like nobles in the traditional sense.

Every move is filled with the unique 'elegance' of aristocrats.

Li Qi and Mills were sitting on both sides of the long table. Grand Duke Mills was gently tasting the steak on the table and suddenly asked Li Qi:

"Are you fourteen years old?"

"yes."

"It's a pity that you can't drink with me anymore."

Mills swayed the red wine in his hand and smiled:

“A lot of the fine wine produced in Falolboya in the last century was lost due to the war with Uno, and there are not many left in the world.

"If you are old enough, you can taste this rare wine."

"..."

Even if I'm old enough, I don't like drinking red wine.

Li Qi cursed in his heart.

On the surface, he smiled and agreed: "That's really a pity, but if you don't mind it, Grand Duke, when I grow up, I will come to you with some wine to reminisce about the past, and then we can get drunk and rest."

"Yes, I'm looking forward to that day."

Mills shook the glass and sipped the red wine gently.

After putting down the wine glass, he said seriously:

"I heard from Mary that you want to leave Lankana?"

"yes."

"What's the reason? You should know who I support. You don't have to worry about the eldest prince's people here, and you don't have to worry about someone killing you. You can wait until the storm is over and continue to be your magic genius. Why do you have to leave? ?”

Mills asked in a deep voice.

If Li Qi was worried that someone wanted to kill him, then now that he had arrived at Archduke Mills' place, he could put down such unnecessary worries.

For the sake of Ilona and Mary's feelings for Li Qi, Archbishop Mills will do his best to protect Li Qi.

He didn't have to leave at all.

Li Qi lowered his head and looked at the food on the plate. He cut the food along the lines of the food. After cutting it a little, he said softly:

"I'm asking a very presumptuous question. Do you think the eldest prince has a better chance of winning, or the second princess?"

Reacher was referring to the royal struggle in English.

Although he did not participate in the political battle in English, he also understood that it seemed that Ilona had a high chance of winning now that she controlled the military power, but in fact, the person who really had the advantage was the eldest prince.

The eldest prince controls the Magic Academy, the highest-ranking legendary mages in English, and the most elite personal guards in the royal capital. They are also in the hands of the eldest prince.

Ilona seems to be the Grand Marshal of English, but in fact, the troops she can mobilize are limited. Without the full support of Archduke Mills, her Marshal is almost nothing.

In name only, the chances of winning are really low.

Mills also knew this, but he didn't care and answered without hesitation:

"From the current situation, His Highness Xia Deng has the advantage."

"Then how can you guarantee that if His Highness Xia Deng really becomes king, he will not liquidate "spies" like me?"

"Are you so sure that His Highness Xia Deng can really win?"

"You said it yourself, Prince Xia Deng has a big advantage."

Li Qi responded.

Mills smiled and said, "I did say that, but the political situation changes rapidly. How can you guarantee that the final winner will not be His Highness Ilona?"

"I can't guarantee it." Li Qi answered honestly: "I don't know who will get the throne between the eldest prince and the second princess, but I don't need to know. As long as I stay away from them, I can get what I want."

Here he paused and said a word: "Safety."

"There is no safe place in this world."

"But at least in Uno, I don't have to worry about being assassinated."

Li Qi pointed to his shoulder.

Previously in the prison area, if Li Qi had not been so strong, if his intuition had not played a role at the critical moment, his heart would have been pierced by the forbidden magic bullet.

This was when someone was besieging Li Qi and everyone around him was hostile to him.

What if it was in normal life?

What if there was more than one assassin?

Li Qi couldn't always turn on the shield to guard against these, so he didn't want to stay here.

And there were more reasons.

At this point in the topic, Mills and Li Qi both fell silent.

Grand Duke Mills took another sip of red wine, looked up at Li Qi who was trying to cut the steak, and smiled:

"If Her Highness Ilona can win, then you don't need to worry about this problem either."

"Then the topic is back, Mr. Mills, how can you guarantee that the second princess will win?"

"As long as the official magic device can be developed, Her Highness Ilona's road ahead will be unimpeded! And this requires your help, Kiri!"

Mills stood up, walked to Li Qi's side, and said to him earnestly:

"I already know about your situation. Her Highness Ilona believes that you can make a more advanced magic device than Professor Derian, and I also believe that you can make a more advanced magic device!

"As long as your magic device can be mass-produced, it will allow Her Highness Ilona to gain unparalleled prestige in the military! It will also shut up those old magicians who only know how to be high-handed and make decisions!

"When Her Highness Ilona becomes the new queen, can't you guarantee your safety?"

"Even so, can you guarantee that England can win the final victory in this war that has swept the world?"

Li Qi asked this key question again.

England was once the world's strongest country, but that was only in the past.

When firearms were developed and better technology was developed from other countries, England, which was still standing still, was destined to be left behind by other countries.

Now England has been defeated in the war with Uno.

The Ship Federation is also pressing England step by step, forcing England to withdraw its defense line.

If England does not change, defeat will become a foregone conclusion.

Even the destruction of the country is definitely not an exaggeration!

In this case, why does Li Qi stay here?

"I said, as long as there is a magic device! The magic device you released that day was enough to destroy an entire square in the prison area! Our army will be invincible!"

Mills said again.

The damage that Li Qi caused in the prison area that day was greater than the damage caused in Professor Derian's personal test field!

Mills knew that it must be the power caused by the magic device.

So he, who originally disliked Li Qi and thought that his daughter Mary ran away with Li Qi, would value him so much.

As he said, as long as there is a magic device, as long as there is the same magic device that Li Qi wore that day, the army of England will be invincible!

"Mr. Mills, you mean that you want to use what I made to deal with the people of our country, is that right?"

Li Qi whispered his doubts.

Grand Duke Mills' expression instantly became indifferent, and he stared at Li Qi and said:

"So, you still think of yourself as an Uno."

"..."

Li Qi didn't speak, but his silence represented everything.

Mills sighed deeply when he saw this. He left Li Qi, sat back and said:

"What a pity. I thought you would choose to stay."

"If... you didn't poison the food, I might really choose to stay."

Li Qi put down his knife and fork.

The steak in front of him was cut into small pieces by him, but he didn't eat a bite because he saw special magic flowing in the steak.

It was poison for magicians.
