Chapter 553: Infiltrating the Base (Part 4)
"I want to stay and take care of Meimei and Camilla, and keep the Grant family going."
Angel told Li Qi her thoughts.
If the Grant family was doing well and still had a large family, Angel would definitely leave with Li Qi.
But now there are only a few kittens left in the Grant family, and Angel's original body is obsessed with continuing the Grant family, and this obsession is also brought to the current doll body.
So Angel planned to let the Grant family continue before talking about leaving the small world.
"Well, since you're willing to stay here, I won't force you... Protect yourself and I'll come back to pick you up."
Li Qi did not interfere with Angel's decision. If Angel was willing to stay, he would let her stay. At worst, she could find a way to come back later.
The premise is that this magical world still exists by then.
Now that they had decided who would leave and who would stay, everyone didn't waste any time, changed into the clothes Oslin gave them, and prepared to leave.
In the world sea outside the small world, several seventh-level and eighth-level warriors were confronting each other. According to Oslin, it was because the core of the inherited mecha had not yet appeared completely, so they were in a stalemate and neither of them took action.
But such calm is only temporary. Once the inherited mecha appears completely, or one side receives strong reinforcements, there will inevitably be a war in the Sea of World.
The world barrier has been shattered. No matter where you are in this world, you can see the broken crack in the sky. The residual power of the fight between the strong can easily fall into the magic world through the gap.
Therefore, in order to avoid being harmed by the strong, it is better for them to leave as soon as possible.
Before leaving, Li Qi told Angel all these things, and also asked Oslin to give Angel a special transfer device, which could be used to return to the interstellar world when necessary.
It was fine for her to stay, but she had to ensure her own safety first. If this world really could not be saved, she could at least save her life through the transfer device.
After explaining everything that needed to be explained, Li Qi and his group were taken away by Oslin.
Among them, Oslin, Li Qi and Zoe were all wearing the magic cloaks of the Sages, and only Ephisia did not do any disguise, revealing her original appearance.
The reason why Ephisia did not disguise herself was simple. She herself said that the Renaissance Society seemed to want to do something with her identity, and at least they would not embarrass her.
Since her life safety can be guaranteed, there is no need for her to deliberately make unnecessary disguises. If she is discovered, it will expose others instead.
Oslin led a group of people out of the capital of Ulogis. He wrapped everyone behind him with magic and led them in one direction.
He was very fast. Under the magic of a seventh-level strong man, it only took them more than ten minutes to leave Ulogis and reach the "detention" place prepared by the Renaissance Society.
"arrive."
In front of the temporary camp of the Renaissance Society in the magical world, Oslin once again gave everyone instructions:
"You will follow me later. You don't need to say anything except Miss Effie. Just follow me closely."
"Um."
Li Qi and others responded and looked forward.
This is a plain in the wilderness. Surrounded by nothing but rocks and mountains, there is only endless desolate wilderness.
But on this desolate wilderness, there is a silver base that does not belong to this era at first glance!
The base was over a thousand square meters in size. The metal foundation covered the vast plains around it. Cold mechanical-style buildings rose from the ground. Unmanned mechas of various sizes patrolled nearby. A sixth-level mecha master in the sky monitored everything around him.
Li Qi could see that this base was the 'territory' of a sixth-level mechanic.
He transformed his machine into a base and built it here. Walking into this area was equivalent to walking into the realm of a seventh-level strong man.
In other words, once Li Qi and others enter, they must be extremely careful. If anything unexpected happens, it will not be easy for them to escape.
After giving instructions to Li Qi and others again, Oslin led everyone into the base in front of them.
The identification documents he prepared in advance for Li Qi and others prevented them from being blocked by the barrier set up in the base.
But the moment Ephisia stepped in here, the mecha masters and mechanics who were monitoring the surroundings sensed her appearance.
Therefore, almost the moment everyone stepped into this area, a female shadow wearing silver knight uniform appeared in front of everyone.
"So it's the Sage of Sorrow. You... have captured the Imperial Princess?"
As soon as the silver knight appeared, he revealed Oslin's identity and cast a puzzled look at Ephisia.
Oslin smiled and responded, "Yes, I was originally planning to go there for support, but I ran into Miss Ephisia on the way. She said she had some deal with your company, so I brought her here."
"Transaction... there is some transaction."
The sixth-level mechanic looked deeply at Effiecia, and then said, "But, I remember that His Highness Richie was also beside His Highness Effie. Didn't you see it, Sage?"
"?"
Oslin was stunned for a moment. He instinctively turned around and looked at Ephisia. Although she was wearing a mask, anyone could see her confusion.
"Your Highness Richie...? Who is that?"
Upon hearing what Oslin said, the sixth-level mechanic in front of him was stunned and speechless.
Oslin's confused tone and look did not seem fake, which proved that he really did not know who Richie was. This in turn made the sixth-level mechanic in front of him put aside some of his doubts.
One advantage that consciousness practitioners have over other practitioners is that they can see clearly whether others are lying.
Oslin has been practicing magic and has not had a deep understanding of consciousness, so even a sixth-level mechanic can roughly tell whether he is lying.
Now, after the sixth-level mechanic's judgment, she felt that Oslin was not lying.
Thinking of this, she smiled and said to Oslin, "Since the Sage Lord doesn't know, forget it. I will take care of His Highness Effie. You can go and have a rest, Sage Lord."
Judging from his attitude, this mechanic from the Renaissance Society was very respectful to Oslin.
However, there is not much respect in these words. Instead, there is a perfunctory feeling like "There is nothing for you to do here, go and have fun somewhere else."
But Oslin didn't care. He smiled and said:
"Alright, I'll leave her to you guys. I'll go back and take a rest. Call me if you need anything."
As he spoke, he led several of his men back to the base.
But after taking only two steps, the mechanic suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait."
Oslin stopped and looked back in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
The mechanic's gaze lingered on the two people behind Oslin for a long time, and finally locked onto one of them. He asked in a long voice: "How come the Sage of the Sage Society... has a fourth-level magician under his trusted subordinate?"
Oslin continued laughing, his tone unchanged, and explained with a smile:
"She's my brother's friend and has a good relationship with him, so I brought her with me. Is there a problem?"
"Oh? The Sage has a younger brother?"
The mechanic raised his eyebrows and asked meaningfully.
Oslin opened his mouth to answer, but suddenly he heard one of the cloaked men behind him say coldly: "What? You are just a mere sixth-level mechanic, and you dare to question my eldest brother?"
"???"
When these words came out, Zoe was stunned, and Oslin also stood there in a daze.
The look under his mask turned strange.
Before, he thought Li Qi was polite and calm, and thought that this guy was an honest person. Although he had some luck in love because of his charm, it was not his fault.
Overall, Oslin had a pretty good impression of Li Qi.
But now…
This dandy boy's appearance... doesn't seem to be fake, does it? When Li Qi asked this, the sixth-level mechanic's face darkened, and her brows furrowed even more tightly. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Li Qi say again:
"Besides! You are a member of the Renaissance Society, why do you care about the affairs of our Sage Society? Do you really think that you guys who play with machinery can do whatever you want?"
Li Qi's words were extremely arrogant, but his arrogance was also filled with dissatisfaction and jealousy.
The sixth-rank mechanic was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "That's right. We in the Renaissance Society naturally have no control over the people of the Sage Society. Sorry, Master Sage, I overstepped my bounds."
Oslin reacted quickly. After listening to the mechanic, he sighed and said apologetically to the mechanic:
"…I'm sorry, my little brother…I've spoiled him since he was little, and he lost to the mechanic before…Hey, it's my fault for not disciplining him well, I hope you don't mind."
"elder brother……!"
"Shut up! Xiaoheng! I told you not to cause trouble before I came out! Why are you not listening again?"
Oslin scolded in a serious tone.
The sixth-level mechanic shook his head and said kindly:
"Your Excellency, there is no need to do this. I did abuse my power just now. It is my fault."
“No, no…”
Oslin laughed along, then turned around and left with Li Qi and Zoe.
But when they left, they could still hear faint sounds of quarreling among them.
"...Brother...we are also wanted, why are they so arrogant..."
"Shut up, the Renaissance Society has the eighth and ninth levels, what do we have? Okay, stop talking and don't cause trouble for me!"
The conversation between the two gradually faded away. After listening to it, the sixth-level mechanic shook his head and laughed to himself, thinking that he was too sensitive.
Non-consciousness practitioners, no matter which system they belong to, can only have the combat power of the seventh level at most. However, after they enter the fifth level, their own cultivation method has been finalized and they can no longer switch to conscious cultivation. Therefore, those with extremely high cultivation among them will be jealous of conscious practitioners.
As a result, their relatives also have a bad opinion of consciousness practitioners.
This must be the case with the sage's younger brother. His hatred and jealousy towards the mechanic do not seem fake, and his relationship with the sage is indeed that of a brother.
At least she didn't see that they were lying.
And since they are brothers, among these people there should not be the young master of the Sarnak family that the president is looking for.
It turned out that she was overthinking just now.
