Chapter 273 Prince Bellino: I Have Another Bold Idea

Fortress of Holy Light, in the secret room of the central castle, the trio of Bellino, Truk, and Federico looked at each other silently, and the atmosphere was dignified.

Federico broke the silence: "We can't provoke the paladins anymore, Xia An is too powerful, unless there are more than three legends coming, we can only pretend that nothing happened."

"Nothing happened? The mine next to the castle was burnt to a mess, and it will take at least a month to recover. The mine used to deal with Xia'an was also destroyed by him!"

"It's not a question of whether something happened, it's a question of what we have to do," Truk said grimly.

"But what do we have?"

Federico had been a bystander before, and he began to complain endlessly: "Don't count on your highness, a bunch of scumbag mercenaries, you can't even count on protecting the castle. As for Truk, two kilograms The troops of the Shentingkester branch are usually domineering guys in the kingdom. They must always complain about their treatment? And they have not received formal military training. It is okay to catch thieves, robbers and heretics , don’t expect them to fight the Legion.”

"The paladins sent by You Xiang also have similar virtues. Before they arrived, the people from the branch were asked to move out of the barracks, or build a better barracks for them..."

Truk couldn't bear it anymore: "I will teach them a lesson! I will let them know that coming here is not a tourist, but a fight, and a mission to complete!"

"I hope so." Fei De spread his hands: "In short, the current situation is that with our strength, we dare not touch Xia'andia, and we don't have the strength to touch Pryor. What can we do?"

Bellino suddenly said: "We still have a mine!"

"But that's more than ten kilometers away! It's farther than dealing with the mine in Xia'an!"

Truk said angrily: "As soon as we move, the paladins will come to smash the mine, and Prell will come to rescue the slaves. Don't even think about mining there peacefully!"

"No!"

Bellino said solemnly: "Think carefully, who is stopping us from mining Rose's corpse?"

"Of course it's Saint..."

Truk frowned before finishing his sentence. This is indeed a question worth pondering.

"Paladin? No, didn't the paladins do well in the past?"

Federico said: "At most, they stop the road for inspection and release the slaves without legal procedures."

Truk nodded deeply: "Yes, it's Prell! After he came, he first snatched the slaves, and then made the illusion of "Quest for the Holy Light Castle". The gang of paladins must have been inspired by the illusion!"

At this time, Bellino's thoughts were flowing like a spring: "That's right! He is our sworn enemy, but his strength is not enough to capture our Holy Light Fortress, so he attacked our industry and asked us to retreat on our own if we can't stay in the Godfall Plateau." .”

"Think about Xia'an's warning to us. He ignored the fact that we were mining the god's corpse before. I think that warning is telling us that as long as we don't mess with him and Xia'an Dia, he will also restrain the paladins from controlling us."

"That way, we just have to focus on Prior."

Federico sighed: "The problem is coming back again, we don't have the strength to solve Pryor and his army."

"Why must it target his legion?"

Bellino asked: "Truke, I remember that Youxiang promised you that as long as there is a feasible plan, they will send a legend to help get rid of Prell?"

Truk nodded: "That's right, the problem is that the plan must be careful and secure enough. You don't want Legend to rush to his territory and risk great danger to kill him."

"No, there is no need to go to his territory. Didn't I just say that we still have a mine."

Bellino's eyes flashed with wisdom: "I have a bold idea..."

Truk trembled for a moment: "I remember your words! When you proposed to send slaves to Xia'andia and let the paladins go to provoke Prior, you said the same thing!"

"Listen to your Highness's thoughts," Federic presided over the justice: "Anyway, we have no ideas."

After Bellino finished speaking, Truk was frowning in thought, and Federico praised sincerely: "This is indeed a bold idea."

………………

"Li Qi, do you also want to be a paladin? Just because of your ability to fall on flat ground?"

In Beta City, on the central square that was about to be completed, Karin lazily mocked Li Qi.

"Do you still remember how I was thrown by that Nama before? Come on, let me fall twice and you will know whether I can become a paladin."

Li Qi was bouncing around with the steps of Bruce Lee, and on his waist was the belt that Xia An gave him.

Karin also contemptuously said: "Hey, that's a very professional physical technique. A paladin's physical technique is at the same level as a monk's. You want to throw me? Did you fall off the floating ship? Out of your mind?"

After gnawing off the bamboo shoots in one bite, she stretched out her arms and kicked her legs and shook her neck: "Come on! I'm just about to crush someone!"

Then she stared at something and hesitated: "Did you get some weird stuff and want to test it on me?"

The chubby Youzan hurriedly pretended to be a robot: "It has nothing to do with me, nothing to do..."

"It is indeed an experiment, but it is not a strange thing." Li Qi patted the belt: "The belt of the fighting master, a gift from Xia An, it is a good thing."

Karin was stunned: "The belt of the fighting master? A magical artifact that allows people to learn various fists, kicks and weapon skills without a teacher?"

The popularity of this thing is really not low, even Queen Tinniway, who has shrunk to a half-dimensional plane, knows it.

"That's just a rumor," You Zan corrected: "First of all, it's not self-taught, it's a teacher. It will tell you how to move your hands, feet, and body, but you have to direct your body to keep up with it. It has to be practiced for a long time. Secondly, it does not know all kinds of skills, it only uses those skills that people who have used it know."

"I see……"

Karin nodded and said, "But Li Qi, you haven't practiced yet, and you want to take advantage of me. Do you think you are talented, or do you think that Xia An's skills are very powerful, and you are more than enough to deal with me?"

Li Qibi showed Bruce Lee's signature gesture, waving his hands and said, "I just think that when Nama threw you, it fully exposed your clumsy and slow shortcomings."

Amidst howling, a two-person tall black-backed white wolf appeared.

"You are clumsy and slow to say to a wolf? Human, your arrogance makes me fully understand what it means to be full of wonders in the world."

The giant wolf Karin's cold eyes stared at Li Qi, and said very compelling words, but unfortunately, because the eyes were a little bit wrong, there was no deterrence.

Li Qi patted his belt, screamed strangely, and rushed towards the giant wolf.

crackle crackle...

Boom boom boom boom...

After a while, the smoke and dust dispersed in the square. Li Qi was pinned down by the giant wolf's head and couldn't move.

"You admit defeat!"

"Woooooooo..."

With a flash of white light, the giant wolf turned back into a human form, lifted Li Qi's arm, twisted Xiaoman's waist, gave him a backflip, and then turned around and sat on his waist.

Karin smiled proudly: "Is this your physical skill?"

Li Qi struggled hard, still speaking stiffly: "Why not, judo!"

The bodies of the two were ups and downs, and You Zan finally couldn't help it: "Don't you realize that the current posture is bad? I'm still a minor... No, a minor ghost!"

thump...

Karin turned into a giant wolf again, whipped Youzan away with her tail, and walked away with victorious strides.

"It's useless, I can't keep up at all..."

Li Qi rubbed his waist and got up, complaining to You Zan who rolled over.

You Zan said: "As I said, you have to concentrate on training for a period of time. The belt is only a reminder to your mind, and it cannot directly direct your body."

Li Qi scratched his head and said, "I think it's better to let Ellie or Tina use it, they know some skills. In this way, you can analyze the flow of magic power faster and understand the excitation principle of this thing?"

The magic of this thing does not lie in its function, but that it does not need a conversion device, and it can be activated directly with the red power, which amazed You Zan, so he asked Karin to practice it.

"Your soul and physical condition can get the most original and accurate data from the Crimson God Throne, but the Witch cannot."

You Zan's answer made Li Qi frown. This guy often typed on the keyboard on the Red God Throne. Could it be that he was playing with his own data?
"And the way of the paladin's power is also worth learning. Not only can he control the divine power more finely, but he can also make the body and weapons play a greater role and save the consumption of divine power."

What You Zan said is right. Although he fights head-on and fights hard, winning with strength does not require any skills, but being able to finely control divine power has many benefits.

Li Qi said: "Okay, from now on I will set aside an hour to practice every day..."

You Zan continued: "Guoshu!"

"Are you reading online novels about dragons and snakes again?"

Li Qi said angrily: "Didn't you say that Epsilon and the ethereal center of Beta City can be dealt with in a few days?"

"Don't worry, it's actually done, and it only takes a few days to do debugging." This guy really has some free time.

Li Qi didn't have much free time, and was about to go back to the office to continue tinkering with the economic system planning, when Bili Boy rang.

It's really rare for him to change his face when he hears it.

In the communication room of Alpha Castle, Li Qi bowed his head respectfully: "Your Majesty..."

It was Teresia looking for him.

The queen frowned slightly, her eyebrows were raised, her mouth was calm, and her whole body exuded a sharp air, as if she had just come off the battlefield.In a daze, Li Qi felt a sense of strangeness.

The Queen's tone was not very friendly: "Li Qi, you are making a lot of noise on the Shenyun Plateau."

Li Qi suddenly realized that the phantom scene in "Exploring the Fortress of Holy Light" should have been known to the entire Fein.

"We are also using weapons impregnated with corrupt divine power. Your phantom has revealed the ugly face of the loyal court, but we have also been affected."

The queen frowned and said, "In the past few days, druids, paladins, and other people with a sense of justice have been sending me pressure through various channels, asking us to clarify how such weapons came from, and whether they are also Use living people to mine the fragments of the god's corpse."

This is another pass and an opportunity, Li Qi said to himself.

He straightened his face, and said in a sincere tone: "Your Majesty, I want to state my point of view. I firmly oppose the weaponization of corrupt divine power, and I don't think it is necessary. The four-rate magic cannon has already started mass production, and the nine-rate magic cannon The guided guns are about to be mass-produced, and we will soon have a large number of weapons that can break the protective barrier, so why use such a controversial and indeed evil weapon?"

"evil……"

Teresia asked back: "Aren't lies evil? But in the propaganda of Baiyu City, didn't you still use it? What did you say? The war we are fighting is a life-and-death war. As long as we can To win, all means are available, right? Why is your standard different when it comes to corrupting divine power?"

Li Qi sighed: "Your Majesty, our war is about life and death, not everyone's death together. Using corrupted divine power as a weapon is like driving the undead to fight. It is the road to the destruction of the world. Back then in Conrad City, there was the king His Majesty……"

Speaking of this, he coughed and stopped talking. Teresia's body trembled, her eyes sparkled, she opened her mouth, but turned into a deep sigh.

The two were relatively silent for a while, Teresia's face softened, and she said with a wry smile: "Then what can I do, your magic cannon is indeed of great help, but Youxiang's power is getting stronger and stronger. It’s really not to be underestimated. And the people from Youxiang are also using it, we don’t use it, isn’t this binding our own hands and feet?”

Li Qi asked: "Did Your Majesty fight hard?"

He has been paying attention to the war in the north, but he only looks at the general trend and doesn't pay attention to the details.Seeing Teresia like this, although she wasn't very annoyed, she was under enough pressure.

"Youxiang has mobilized several countries in the north of Valentine, and even a large-scale ice field dwarf army has appeared. Although we are still advancing, the plan to surround Valentine's Cathedral within this year has failed. There are still many casualties."

"Sylvie's side is also struggling. The three countries don't have much strength left, and they are all supported by our legions. I have organized four more legions to support her in the rear. At present, it is only to curb the offensive of the orcs."

Teresia bit her lip: "From the Tangus meeting to the present, more than 2 people have died on our side, and the number of people who quit the battlefield due to disabilities is twice this number. If you continue to fight, how many more people will die? I don’t dare to think about people, but we have to fight, so... I think it’s always good to have fewer people killed.”

"But that's not the reason to open the gates of hell," Li Qi said, "Do you still remember the suggestion I made at the Tangus meeting? This war may last longer than all of us expected. There will be more sacrifices than anyone expected, because we always feel that this sacrifice is enough, and then we find that it is not enough."

"At this time, we are faced with two choices. One is to quench thirst with poison, which means to solve the current troubles, regardless of the inevitable result of death in the future. The other is to break certain shackles and inspire greater power , let more people and more resources join this war..."

There was a smile on the corner of Teresia's mouth, a clear smile.

She shook her head and said, "Li Qi, are you promoting your set again? In my opinion, your so-called other choice is to quench your thirst with poison. Even if the undead disaster sweeps Fein, or the dark The invasion of elves and even demons is nothing compared to the consequences of the collapse of order. It is the loss of people's hearts and the collapse of faith."

This is my last attempt, really, and it still fails.

Li Qi sighed secretly, and put on a smile again: "I'm not saying that we should carry out the whole process, but I think some of the details will not destroy the existing order, but also help us gather forces more efficiently. For example, I said To establish a unified communication network."

Teresia thought for a while, then nodded slowly: "If it's just this, it's not impossible."

She sighed again: "But it is indirect after all, I need direct and effective power now."

The queen's tone became forceful: "I also know your position, and I didn't force you to mine Rose's corpse on the Godfall Plateau for me. But you can't continue to hold us back on this matter, and I don't want to hear it again in the future. Seeing all the talk and visions about Rose's dead body come out of you, do you understand?"

Li Qi dared to say no, so he nodded honestly.

The queen said again: "Very well, Li Qi, I knew that I only need to ask you, not an order."

This is a warning!Serious warning!
After the communication ended, Li Qi walked around the communication room a few times, secretly thinking something was wrong.

On Teresia's side, there were heavy casualties and slow progress, and it seemed that she and Youxiang had entered the stage of fighting each other to consume each other.

Compared with the resources accumulated by Youxiang for thousands of years, although Teresia has the Star of Dawn certification and multi-party alliances, it is still far behind. That's why she focused on the weaponization of corrupted divine power.

If this momentum continues to develop, it will deviate from the direction he hopes to promote the civilianization of extraordinary power. At that time, the two sides will really turn into a situation where corruption is sprayed on each other.

How should I deal with it...

On the one hand, it is to speed up the research of new magic weapons, and to continue to improve the cost and performance of existing magic weapons.

On the other hand, the corpse of Rose on the Shenyun Plateau is currently the biggest source of corrupted divine power for both sides. If this source can be cut off, it can at least temporarily stop the two sides from continuing to climb this crooked technology tree.

Li Qi returned to Beta City with a lot of worries. At this time, Yuangou came to report the latest information on the Fort of Holy Light.

"Are they going to mine Rose's corpse at another mine?"

Li Qi sneered, it seemed that he had to give Holy Light Castle a serious blow, and completely cut off their thoughts of mining Rose's corpse.

Round Hook hurriedly added: "This is a trap."

Huh, another trap?Could it be...

Yuangou nodded: "The halfling got the news again."
