I'll sit down and write myself a letter

Wu Ci stroked the ranger's hairy head from time to time, feeling the hair passing through his fingers, and his eyes casually fell on the spaceship drawing on the table.

There were no computers in the Middle Ages, and this place was different from the ordinary scientific world. All technologies had to use spiritual power as a variable as a driving energy source. Naturally, all data could only be slowly calculated by his brain.

Most of the data has been calculated. With his "ordinary man" brain that is proficient in various survival skills and useful knowledge, these problems can be solved. The only difficult problem is energy.

The free spiritual energy in the air and the few spiritual stones he managed to obtain were not enough to provide energy for the operation of the basic facilities of the spaceship, let alone escape from the atmosphere, leave this planet, and conquer the vast starry sky.

He needed more, more special spirit stones, like the concentrated spirit stones as big as the ones that Princess Morning Star used to decorate her skirt in the real world.

Such spiritual stones are all in the temple, under the control of the temple to which Sir Silver belongs, and are not circulated outside at all.

It just so happens that the Isaac family has always been a saint of the Silver Knight, and the knight training methods handed down in those knight families are also handed down from the temple. As the new head of the Isaac family, Youxia should be qualified to enter the temple and get the whereabouts of those spirit stones even if he is disliked by the emperor...

Wu Ci thought that he could temporarily suspend the war and not release the evil spirit given by Tianzun.

Sir Silver even knows exactly how many indulgences the nobles have purchased, and his control over this world is obviously much stronger than Sui Gu's. However, he has taught his cavalrymen to practice the "Heavenly Starve Sutra". Although it is only a reduced version, Sir Silver has not discovered it yet. There must be something that Tianzun is helping to cover up.

Tianzun seems to be very good at this kind of trickery. However, the 12 mysterious spirits also seem to have their own control periods, and the Solomon period is the home of Silver Jazz.

Even though Tianzun has obtained the Heavenly Dao of Sugu, he does not have the control and faith of the Solomon period, but only has a little more ability to interfere in this world. Unless Wuci completely destroys the temple and stirs up a big one, giving him a chance to seize the Heavenly Dao of Lord Silver, otherwise, with Lord Silver's followers everywhere, this is probably all he can do.

With Tianzun helping to cover up, if Wu Ci does not release the evil spirit, he should be able to keep Sir Silver hidden for a while... Once Youxia helps him get those spirit stones and the energy for the spaceship, he can directly release the evil spirit and take down the Solomon Empire.

If it were fast, then, maybe he could just celebrate the spaceship rising into the sky and breaking through the "untouchable divine territory" caused by Sir Silver's ignorance, and then use force or subtle influence to let the world sing his achievements, and then push the origin of the evil spirit to Sir Silver's temple... In this way, the reputation of the hero would be legendary, and it could also have some influence on Sir Silver, making it easier for Tianzun to plunder the Heavenly Dao.

Wu Ci's palm stopped at the top of Youxia's head. He licked his lips and whispered, "We could have avoided the war, my dear child, if only the emperor who made the wrong decision had stepped back and corrected his stupid mistake."

As he spoke calmly, the Ranger's empty eyes gradually regained consciousness. The Ranger nodded, as if nothing had happened just now, but his mind was reshaped unconsciously, "But the cavalry that suddenly appeared..."

"They are doing this for justice... I will let them retreat temporarily and provide for the Crusaders' living expenses," Wu Ci looked at the ranger's increasingly clear eyes, stepped back, distanced himself, and smiled, "But I need you to help me accomplish one thing, my dear ranger, for Sir Silver's sake."

——Snap

He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of the ranger's eyes.

"What is it?"

The knight, who was just empty and confused, seemed to be suddenly awakened after hearing the sound of the ringing fingers. The corners of his mouth were covered with the casual and playful smile of a prodigal son. He looked no different from the beginning, but now, it was impossible for him to reject anything the witch said.

"As a payment for the Crusaders' military expenses, I need the concentrated spirit stones from the temple. Can you do that?"

The Ranger did not ask him what he wanted the spirit stones for, but just frowned and said, "This is a bit difficult. They are controlled items and are used to train Templar Knights..."

Cultivate Templar Knights?

Wu Ci thought of the strange knights he had seen on the battlefield in the first round, who had no consciousness and were just empty puppets.

He discovered that... as the heir of Isaac's family and a saint of Sir Silver, the Ranger seemed to know some secrets that the temple did not want to spread to the outside world.

"How are they trained? Do you know the process, my dear ranger?"

The ranger showed some uncertainty, which was rare. "Those spirit stones are not obtained naturally, but are made by special means with the blessing of Lord Silver... They melt the spirit stones dug out from the mines and the selected knights together... Each one represents the soul of a knight team... They can control the knights at any time, and can also use them for other purposes at any time, consuming the knights' souls and spiritual power together. It is said that this can dedicate the souls of those knights to Lord Silver, allowing them to return to Lord Silver's kingdom of God."

Wu Ci pushed aside the spaceship blueprint on the desk, which had been used to calculate most of the data, to hide the fact that he lacked spirit stones. He then pushed aside the ink bottle containing the feather pen as a cover, and walked leisurely to the terrace. With his back to the ranger, he tended to his green flowers. "This sounds like a lie. Have you never questioned it, my dear ranger?"

As expected, the Ranger was guided by his mark and left the desk. He stood up from his chair and followed him, "But that is the cathedral under the watchful eye of Lord Silver, and those knights are also Lord Silver's property... The Pope, bishops, and priests would not dare..."

"What if this is the oracle issued by Lord Silver?" Wu Ci interrupted him, "All of this is based on your belief that Lord Silver is kind... But you should understand that under His watch, the Temple did this with His tacit approval.

He plays with human souls like this, and even the current system of this corrupt and ignorant world is all caused by Him. What He says is right is right, and what He says is wrong is wrong. He does not want people to have their own thoughts, but to become pawns that only listen to His orders. He wants people to be ignorant. In this case, are you still deceiving yourself and others, and thinking like those who have been domesticated and ignorant, that Sir Silver is really a kind God?"

The Ranger rejected with difficulty the knowledge that he had been brainwashed with for many years, "He...is not..."

"So... why not get those spirit stones? We can use their sinful creations to do something meaningful and change this ignorant era. Even if we are discovered later and become completely opposed to Lord Silver, it will still be an honor..."

The knight struggled, "But if we lose the name of God... the people will not approve of our actions... even if we replace the emperor... no one will approve!"

"But have you ever thought about this? Since we can replace the emperor if he is not good, then if God is not a kind God, can we also replace Him? Or, do we not need God at all?"

Wuci chuckled, "Do you understand? We have to make decisions for those who have been fooled by Lord Silver. This is different from rashly deciding their death on their behalf. Instead, we have to help them choose a brighter path on their behalf. Even if we are spit on by them and are no longer heroes praised by everyone... you will be true to your heart. Can you do it? My dear ranger?"

He is no longer a knight of false glory, receiving praise from everyone, but is marching forward in the darkness, bearing people's spit, and creating a path full of hope for people, with a clear conscience!

The knight was shocked by the witch's brainwashing.

He pulled off a chess piece hanging around his neck and hurriedly handed it to Wu Ci, "This is a token that can prove to the Crusaders. Dextal, please help me take over them temporarily and provide our Crusaders with the necessities of life. I will go to the cathedral to see the Pope and try to find the location of the spiritual stones..."

"Please wait a moment, Ranger." Wu Ci took the chess piece and placed it on the terrace beside him, folding a paper crane in his hand.

That is the magic of Tianji Dao, the paper crane that Tianjizi once used to transmit messages.

Wu Ci folded the paper crane, marked its location, and handed it to the ranger. "The key to triggering it is to absorb the energy in your body from the free spiritual energy in the air through the knight's physical training method. When you encounter danger or find the spiritual stones, input the energy in your body into it, and I will know immediately."

The knight had never seen such a novel thing. He had never even seen paper. In the Middle Ages, people only used parchment scrolls.

He watched with his own eyes as Wu Ci's slender index finger flexibly and gracefully turned the piece of paper that looked like the one on the desk just now covered with pictures and various strange characters over and over again in a strange way, and finally folded out a snow-white paper crane.

Such an exquisite work of art must be able to sell for a lot of money, so why did they give it directly to him, saying that he could carry it with him and inject the Qi into his body to know his movements?

Although he didn't understand, the ranger didn't ask any more questions. He just took it curiously and quickly went out from the terrace.

Wu Ci watched him rush out of the valley, leaving a rough trail in the sea of ​​flowers, and a low laugh came out of his throat.

Still an impulsive young man... so easy to deceive...

He picked up the chess piece on the terrace and said, "Hurry up, don't keep me waiting..."

"Dexstall, who was that just now?"

Ines complained in a coquettish voice from behind, "The room is so small, why can't you expand the house?"

Along with the sound of pulleys, Wu Ci's silly daughter Ines, who was only beautiful, rushed in happily in a transparent glass fish tank and honked the horn twice to announce her arrival.

Her fish tank, which looked like a toy car, was made for her by the Original Witch, with the materials provided by Witch Ci. The glass walls were covered with her favorite pink ponies, and the bottom of the fish tank was covered with all kinds of sparkling gems and pearls.

Most likely, she had just come out of the large pool that Wu Ci had built for her upstairs after hearing the noise made by the ranger.

"It's another child," Wu Ci returned to the desk and sat down, taking off his gloves, and beckoned Inès to come over with her fish tank.

Ines cried out in dissatisfaction, "Another child? I won't allow it! No! You are mine! How can you raise another child? I don't want a brother or sister to steal my things like Isis did... If you want to raise him, I will whip him... strangle him to death in his sleep! And have him chopped into sausage stuffing!"

"Don't make a fuss, Ines." Wu Ci took off the hair tie that he had developed a habit of wearing on his wrist, and while helping Ines to braid her messy red long hair to practice the skillful technique for meeting Tianzun in the future, he said, "I will leave for a while when he sends me a message, and then we can move to a big house that you like soon. What do you think, we should tear down the palace of the Solomon Empire and rebuild it?"

"Have you finally decided to become the emperor, my dear Dextal? Then I can continue to be a princess?"

Inès' attention was immediately diverted, and she said excitedly, "I want a palace with pools everywhere! I want to hang jewels on all the branches to make them sparkle! And I want to decorate my palace with emeralds!"

I'm so depressed by my time here! I want to keep 100 male pets! You always say I'm not very smart, but I'm so beautiful, it's a pity not to be praised by men, I will blame myself for my sins. "

Inès seemed to have become more lively, chattering like a little bird, but she still remained extravagant, vain and vicious. "Oh, wait, Dextal, do you think I should start preparing my new dress now? I want everyone to see me, and then I will dress up and make them kneel down and fall for me.

Oh, by the way, you have to send troops! When you become emperor, you must send troops to Cania... otherwise I will not forgive you for five minutes! I hate my father and sister so much that I want you to turn them into slaves and send them to my palace to obey my orders... They should be stripped naked and dance on the red-hot iron plate for me to see. "

"Ines, stop for a moment. I don't plan to become the emperor." Wu Ci touched her head. "I will leave eventually."

"Can't you become emperor when you come back?" Inès looked up and asked in confusion.

"I'm going to a very far place. It might take a very long time for me to come back. Maybe you will never see me again."

"Why? I don't understand, Dexter, I mean... didn't you say you were only going to be gone for a while?"

Wu Ci pressed her restless head back and braided Ines' hair. "That's because I have some unfinished business. I won't leave until I finish it when I come back. But don't worry, I won't leave until I have solved all your problems."

The stupid daughter obviously didn't understand, "Then I don't want the palace... Please don't leave, okay? I will be very sad if you leave, and that will be a terrible feeling. You won't do that to me, right? Dextal?"

This is retention, but also ignorance.

Wu Ci knew that she was a stupid, ignorant, empty-headed, vain, vicious, naive and cruel girl.

Some people in her home country even commented: Princess Ines is just a stupid, frivolous and empty-headed second-rate person, how can she be compared with the kind and steady Princess Isis?

But Ines is more pure than others. If she wants others to fulfill her wishes, she will say it directly and then reveal a sly smile of success.

A girl, a stupid lamb, with a hollow and shallow mind, so shallow that she is actually a little cute.

That's why Wu Ci tried to teach her a lesson and tolerated her bad habits.

He did not get angry at Inès's lack of general knowledge, but sighed, "I have to leave, but we will meet again, many years later."

"And will you write to me, my dear Dexter?"

"I'm afraid not, Inès."

"Then I won't write to you anymore," Inès said angrily, lying on the fish tank.

"With all due respect, you need to practice your letter writing skills more. You don't know many words."

"Can't you say something nice like other men or my father, Dexter?" Ines splashed the water. "Dexter, you know, if you don't write to me, I'll sit down and write a letter to myself."

"——?"

Instead of writing to Inès, she wrote to herself? What kind of terrible threat was this?

Wu Ci laughed and agreed with her, "It's really surprising. I never thought you would do this. Why is that?"

"You've got something you didn't expect, haven't you?" Inès raised a finger in triumph, looked up, and almost sang, "I'm going to sit down and write a letter to myself, pretending it's from you.

I would consider the words carefully, and then be surprised to find it, and then find that it is filled with the sweetest words you can't say.

I would be so happy about it that I would jump up like crazy and kiss your cheek, accuse you of something you didn't do at all, and then smile and say, thank you, I hope you feel good too."

Okay, I'll start working overtime tomorrow and update every other day (distorted facial features)
