Chapter 108 Relics and Talents
"Don't be unhappy, Ronnie. Think about it in a positive way. After all, this is a relic treasure brought out from the foggy area. Maybe... maybe the association just failed to confirm its effectiveness, so it was classified as level four?"
"Yes, yes, maybe it is actually of a very high level, maybe even a special-grade relic that exceeds level one!"
"…Thank you, Rumi, Emma…but you don't have to comfort me, Level 4 is good…Level 4 is also good…"
Listening to the comfort of his two friends, Ronnie responded with tears in his eyes.
The relics and treasures that the teachers brought today, including the third and fourth level relics, are not all standard relics made by the kingdom.
There are also some relics that were brought out from the foggy area. Their functions are not clear, but their levels can basically be determined.
What Ronnie is signing now is one of the relics and treasures brought back from the fog area.
Although it is level four.
But it is indeed a little stronger than other standard relics.
Although it is level 4...
No, I still want to cry.
Holding the spherical glass relic in his hand, Ronnie felt a lump in his throat.
He did think that as long as he picked up a level 4 relic, he would be qualified to become a Mist Explorer, but he never thought that he would only get a level 4 relic! Even Rumi had contracted a standard level 3 relic!
Ronnie sighed while holding a glass ball the size of an adult's fist.
Rumi and Emma looked at each other and were about to persuade each other again when they suddenly heard a conversation coming from the dean's office not far away.
One of them is the director of Asahi Welfare Home, Director Domini.
"…Li Qi, have you really decided?"
Hmm? Li Qi?
Hearing this name, Ronnie and the other two instantly became excited.
The three little guys quietly poked their heads out from the corner and looked towards the dean's office with the open window.
From this angle, you can see Dean Domini in the dean's office, and Li Qi, the annoying guy from the welfare home, standing in front of the dean.
"Well, Dean, I have made my decision."
Li Qi said softly.
Ronnie also heard his voice again after many years. It was a magnetic voice that gave people a sense of calmness.
After Li Qi finished speaking, the dean sighed and said:
"Well, although you still have a year to reach adulthood, but... now that you have been recognized as a second-level relic, it is indeed not suitable for you to stay in the welfare home."
"Thank you for your care over the past few years, Dean."
Li Qi bowed slightly.
The Dean said:
"I can't say I'm taking care of you. To be honest, it's the ideas you gave me that allowed the orphanage to survive. I have to thank you for that... It's just that... you're too lonely and you don't even have any friends around you. I'm worried about you."
"It's okay, Dean. I can live well on my own."
"Forget it. You've always had your own ideas since you were young, so I won't tell you... Take this letter of recommendation. Someone will take care of you when you go to the association. When you become a Tanwu member, make more friends. Being alone... there will always be times when it's inconvenient."
The dean persuaded Li Qi.
The three people who were eavesdropping on the side finally understood what had happened when they heard this.
"Is Li Qi going to become a fog explorer?!"
Emma expressed shock.
Rumi stroked his chin and said:
"It is said that if you can sign a contract with a second-level relic, you can become a Mist Explorer without taking the test... Emma, you should be qualified too."
"But isn't he only fourteen years old this year? One year younger than us!"
Emma continued.
Ronnie blinked his eyes: "Huh? Isn't he fifteen?"
"You idiot, didn't I say before that there was a kid who just turned fourteen participating in this contract ceremony? That kid is Li Qi!"
"So it was him... But why does it always feel like he's older than us..."
Ronnie muttered.
Although Emma said now, Li Qi is only fourteen years old.
But he felt that Li Qi should be at least fifteen years old, and there was no way he could be younger than him...
But these issues are not important now. What is important is that Li Qi is leaving.
"He's out, hide, hide!"
The eavesdropping trio discussed in whispers for a while, and when they saw Li Qi coming out of the dean's office, they hurriedly found a corner to hide in order to avoid being discovered.
They didn't know why they were hiding, they just hid subconsciously.
Li Qi paused for a moment when passing the corner, but then continued walking forward, as if the pause was just an illusion of Ronnie and the other two.
"Phew, luckily we weren't discovered..."
Emma, who was hiding, patted her underdeveloped chest.
Ronnie was looking at Li Qi's back, thinking about the moment when he stopped, and felt unhappy in his heart.
Are they...really not discovered?
…
"Some interesting kids..."
Li Qi withdrew his senses from those children and chuckled in his heart.
Ever since he turned into magic and disappeared in his previous life, Li Qi seemed to have another special ability that was not a gift.
He could vaguely sense the trajectory of the world's destiny.
In other words, he can roughly sense the key figures of the current era in a world, or the 'protagonists'.
When he died in his previous life, he sensed that Ilona was one of the protagonists of the current era, and perhaps Remus of Uno was also the protagonist of that era.
And the three children he sensed just now are very likely the 'protagonists' of this era.
However, the "protagonist" of this world has nothing to do with Li Qi, and Ilona and others in the previous life have nothing to do with Li Qi now.
After turning into magic power and disappearing, Li Qi's consciousness had already dissipated.
When he woke up again, he had become an ordinary ten-year-old child in this world.
Yes, ten years old.
For some reason, his memory did not awaken when he was twelve years old, but two years earlier, when he was ten years old.
When his memory awakened, he had just been sent to an orphanage, along with a relic that looked like a building block.
That was actually Li Qi’s first relic.
It is a first-level relic called the 'Magic Cube'.
This relic can be transformed into any tool known to Li Qi, and together with other relics below level one, it is the legacy left to him by Li Qi's parents in this life.
His parents were from the Tanwu family. They did not die, but they went deep into the endless sea of fog and could never come back.
Before heading to the Endless Sea of Fog, they left everything they had to Li Qi and entrusted someone to send Li Qi to the Asahi Welfare Home.
Li Qi had forgotten who this person was. After all, when he sent Li Qi to the welfare home, Li Qi had not yet recovered his memories of his previous life. Moreover, the man was wrapped in a cloak and looked so mysterious that he could not remember what he looked like at all.
It was not until a few days after that man left that Li Qi recalled his memories of his past life and remembered who he was.
But at the same time, I completely forgot what that person looked like and what that person's voice sounded like.
But for Li Qi, these trivial details are not important. What is important is the composition of this world.
After recovering his memory, Li Qi began to absorb the knowledge of this world and understand the basic structure of this world.
Then he came to a conclusion.
This is a near-apocalyptic world that could be swallowed up by the 'thick fog' at any time.
The structure of this world is very simple: a kingdom standing on the land, surrounded by fog, and outside the kingdom, the endless 'fog area'.
The fog zone extends outward into five layers, each of which is extremely dangerous and unsuitable for long-term human survival.
The duty of the fog explorer is to try to find ways and methods to continue the future of mankind in this vast sea of fog.
The farthest place humans can explore nowadays is the endless sea of fog.
It is said that once you enter this huge area, you can never return.
But for the continuation of mankind, all the explorers who arrived at the endless sea of fog and had the ability and strength to go in and explore chose to go in and explore.
Although no one has come back yet, countless people are flocking there.
Li Qi's parents are also among the many explorers who have entered the endless sea of fog.
Li Qi...also had a strong curiosity about the endless sea of fog.
He couldn't help but be curious, because he felt that the ruins in the fog area and the things in the endless sea of fog might be the source of power of this world.
And Li Qi needs strength to perfect the alchemy he learned in the magic world.
He couldn't use magic in this world because there was no magic in this world.
This actually did not come as a surprise to him.
Magic is probably something unique to the previous world. It is because of the existence of magic that the previous world had the profession of magic.
Magic does not appear because of the existence of magicians.
It is normal for other worlds without magicians to have no magic power. Li Qi is not surprised at all.
Besides, although this world has no magic, it has other special powers.
The relics and treasures are the special power of this world.
Those who possess the relic can gain special powers beyond ordinary people, and can explore deep into the fog area and bring back more things.
Li Qi also found some special energy from the relics, which was the key to activating the relics.
Li Qi named this energy "legacy power" because it comes from the power of relics and treasures.
He also tried to use this "remaining power" to construct a magic circuit.
It couldn’t be called a failure…but what was ultimately built was definitely not a success either.
Thinking of this, Li Qi raised his hand and stretched out his fingertips.
Then a faint light appeared on his fingertips.
The light was contained within the fingertips and could not leave the body no matter what; it could only rotate within the body.
This light is the power itself.
Li Qi used his residual power to construct six magic circuits in his body. These magic circuits can freely transport energy inside the body, but no matter what, the energy cannot leave the body.
The good news is that it has little impact on the use of knight skills.
The bad news is that Li Qi cannot use magic, so the corresponding alchemy cannot be used either.
Over the years, he has been creating puppets by hand, bit by bit, without the convenience and speed of using transformation and combination techniques.
This is all thanks to the 'Magic Cube' left by my parents in this life.
If there was no magic cube that could be transformed into any tool, Li Qi would have no way of making puppets.
Although the puppet could be made, Li Qi had no way of making it move.
First of all, this world lacks materials, and Li Qi cannot replicate the magic device one-to-one. Without the magic device to amplify the energy in his body, Li Qi cannot use the magic storage technology.
This means he can't make magic batteries.
Secondly, even if a magic battery could be created, the tiny amount of magic power in Li Qi's body was barely equivalent to that of a first-level magician, and it was simply not enough to drive a puppet.
That's why Li Qi wants to become a fog explorer.
There are all kinds of relics in this world, and perhaps there is a relic that can provide unlimited energy.
As long as he finds such a relic, analyzes its internal structure and places it, Li Qi can make the puppet he made move.
As for...the fact that each person can only sign a contract with one relic, Li Qi doesn't care at all.
In each life, Li Qi has a talent that belongs to him alone: hearing in the music world, superpowers in the gambler world, and magical talent that transcends the limits of the world in the magic world.
It was no surprise that Li Qi acquired his talent in this life.
He can contract any relic without restriction.
This is the 'specialness' of his life.
