Chapter 157: The King of the Survivors
Freya died anyway.
That's natural.
The last of her life force was used as nourishment to provide to the body of relic No. 4. Even though the creator's descendants had extremely long life force, they could not withstand such consumption.
So in the end, after seeing with her own eyes Li Qi leading the remaining tribesmen out of the range of Relic No. 4 and leaving the City of Chaos, Freya closed her eyes.
She may still have regrets, reluctance, and things she wants to accomplish.
But all this disappeared as she closed her eyes.
Li Qi, with the remaining 700-odd survivors, stood outside the City of Chaos in silence.
Beside him, Carol was looking at him with worry.
This fake loli who came to find Li Qi already knew what had happened after meeting Li Qi.
She hesitated for a while and said to Li Qi:
"Are you okay?"
"Did you know that Chris is from the Survivor Royal Family?"
Li Qi didn't answer, but asked her back.
"I don't know." Carol shook her head quickly. Before Li Qi continued to ask her, she quickly explained:
"I really don't know, including Maru. Although our exploration team always comes to the City of Chaos to purchase things for the journey, Chris and Geer always stay outside, so..."
"Have you never seen the royal family of the survivors? Have you never doubted their appearance?"
Li Qi asked doubtfully.
Carol continued to shake her head: "The leaders of the survivors usually don't show up very often. We have never seen them before. Besides... it's just a purchase, there's no need for the leader to come in person."
That's the truth.
The kingdom and the survivors had already established trading rules long ago, using this place as a supply point for the exploration team.
Carol's exploration team is not the original exploration team. Every time they come here they just purchase supplies and cannot stay for long. There is no need for Freya and the others to come out to meet the exploration team.
So Carol never knew that the wife of the clan leader of this generation of the surviving people looked the same as Chris.
Including Freya.
Although each generation of clones will look different from the previous one in order to avoid being discovered, Carol and Chris look 70% similar.
It's a bit similar to what Li Qi does. If Carol could meet Freya, she would realize that Chris is related to the survivors.
But obviously, Carol hadn't seen them.
Chris deliberately concealed the truth because she didn't want to return to the Survivor Clan. Unless the royal family of the Survivor Clan left the City of Disorder, they would have no idea that Carol and the others had any relationship with the twins they sent away.
It is precisely because of this lack of information that Carol is not clear about Chris's identity.
If Li Qi hadn't just told her what happened in the City of Disorder, she would probably have been kept in the dark until now.
"However, this does explain why Chris seems to be someone special. She grew up in an orphanage like me..."
Carol sighed belatedly.
"that……"
While the two were talking, a woman with long black hair, wearing a white guard uniform with gold edges, came over.
She looked to be around 30 years old. She walked to Carol and Li Qi, and finally set her sights on Li Qi. She knelt on one knee and said respectfully:
“…King, please give us the order and tell us what to do next.”
"Next..."
Li Qi did not deny the female guard's address to him.
Since he had promised Freya to take good care of them, even if it was out of the spirit of the contract, Li Qi had to fulfill his agreement with Freya first.
After settling this group of people, he will decide where to go next.
After thinking for a while, Li Qi looked at Carol and said, "Kingdom, is there a place that can accept us?"
"You want to go back to the kingdom?"
Carol was surprised, she thought Li Qi would walk all the way to the sea of fog.
Li Qi glanced at her and said speechlessly:
"My purpose in coming to the Fog Area is to obtain the method of making the relics of the lost civilization. Now that I have it, why don't I go back?"
"Ah...That's true."
Carol nodded belatedly.
That’s right, this was Li Qi’s purpose at the beginning. He didn’t think about going to the Sea of Fog. After all, the Sea of Fog sounded very dangerous.
Li Qi would not put himself in danger unless it was necessary.
Li Qi decided to go back, and Carol was very happy about it because it meant that Li Qi's safety was guaranteed.
But when Carol thought of Li Qi's current identity, she couldn't help but worry.
The king of the surviving people... and a child who was originally a commoner in the kingdom became the king. I don’t know what the royal family of the kingdom will think.
And even without considering all these, the identity of being the descendant of the Creator alone is enough to shock the kingdom.
I don’t know whether the royal family of the kingdom knows about this.
Just as Carol thought of this, she heard Li Qi say, "Oh, by the way, Aunt Carol."
"Um?"
"If possible, you'd better not tell anyone about this information about the descendants of the Creator, if you really want me to be safe."
Li Qi said to Carol very seriously.
Carol nodded slightly and gave an affirmative answer: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
…
Li Qi was not sure whether the royal family of the kingdom knew about the descendants of the Creator.
However, judging from the current attitude of the royal family towards the bereaved families, it is conservatively estimated that they probably do not know.
They may not even know who the 'creator' is.
Of course, this is just Li Qi's guess. In fact, it is unlikely that the royal family of the kingdom holds the original relic No. 1 and does not know who the creator is.
But there is a certain chance that the creator may not know that there is a backup plan called "survivors".
According to the information Li Qi has obtained so far.
When the fog zone first came, the Creator left three paths for mankind.
The first is to fight against the fog zone. His assistant took away the relic No. 1 that can fix reality and is responsible for leading mankind to survive in reality.
After a long period of evolution, it has become the current royal family of the kingdom.
The second way is to become the descendants of the Creator.
Li Qi speculated that it was probably after the assistant took No. 1 away that the creator had a sudden idea and created his own clone, allowing the clone to take a part of the human race into the fog area to find a way to coexist with the fog area.
There is a third way...
It means to completely abandon this world and leave it using relic number five.
This is the history that Li Qi found in the "inheritance" passed down by Freya. He determined that the original body of Relic No. 5 was most likely a spaceship that could leave this planet.
Judging from the fact that the derivative body of relic No. 4 can cover half of the City of Chaos, the area of No. 5 should be larger than that of No. 4.
Of the three roads created by the Creator, Li Qi has seen two of them, but number five...
According to Angel Number Three, it can no longer sense the existence of Angel Numbers Two and Five, and it doesn't know whether they have disappeared from this world or encountered misfortunes and concealed their presence.
So getting back to the topic, the creator's assistant who first took away one of humanity's hopes may not necessarily know that the creator had his own clone.
And Li Qi could not guarantee whether they would do anything to the descendants of the creator after knowing this news.
This is why Li Qi asked Carol to keep it a secret.
At present, not many people know that the royal family of the survivors are descendants of the creator and that Li Qi is from the royal family of the survivors.
Carol counts as one, the president of the Light Chasing Society counts as another, and the last one is Angel No. 3. She is currently focusing on Li Qi.
The leader of the Light Chasing Society is unlikely to tell this matter, and the angels, led by Li Qi, will not take the initiative to talk about this matter.
Finally, only Carol was left.
However, given how much Carol cares about Li Qi, she would most likely not tell him anything if Li Qi asked her to.
But you also have to be prepared for what to do if she accidentally says it.
In fact, it doesn’t matter to Li Qi whether this matter is exposed or not.
The reason he didn't want the kingdom to know about this was simply because he didn't want to cause trouble, not because he was afraid of anything.
As long as it does not delay his research on the relics and does not infringe on the personal rights and interests of the remaining members of the surviving clan, Li Qi will not care no matter what the kingdom does.
And speaking of studying relics...
In the tent built in the fog, Li Qi looked at the white box in his room, which was only half the size of his body.
The white box is rectangular in shape, about 1.5 meters long, and 1 meter wide and high. It looks like a rectangular storage box.
But this is actually what the survivors used to make their relics.
Special relic [Surprise Treasure Box].
Its ability is to gather enough materials and fog beast life and throw them in, and it will create a relic of a random level in one to three days.
The highest level is level one and the lowest level is level four.
This is why the survivors are able to make high-level relics.
"So, you made this too?"
Li Qi stroked the surface of the surprise treasure chest with his hand and glanced at the angel standing motionless in the distance.
The angel nodded decisively this time:
"Yes, it is indeed something I conceived."
The angel's standard for judging whether a relic is made by herself is very simple. Those that can be controlled by her are relics that came out of her body, or related derivative relics.
The things she cannot control are special relics or items made by the creator.
Now we have to add an item made by Li Qi.
The rectangular surprise treasure chest can be controlled by angels, so it must be something made by angels.
It's just that the angel doesn't remember.
“Tsk.”
Patting the surface of the treasure chest, Li Qi sighed.
The angel blinked in surprise, "You seem disappointed?"
"Of course I'm disappointed. I thought I could find a way to make relics without relying on relics, but in the end..."
Li Qi sighed again and looked up at the mist outside the tent. "...In the end, I can only try my luck with the people from the Light Chasing Society."
If it is said that no matter whether it is the kingdom or the survivors, the way they make relics cannot be separated from relics, then Li Qi may really have no choice but to cause trouble for the Light Chasing Society.
After all, according to the information provided by Jinghua, she could be sure that the Zhuguang Society did master a method of making relics.
And no relics are needed.
