Chapter 617 Control Room
"I think I was only eleven years old at that time..."
Li Qi muttered.
Elena didn't care: "So what?! This kind of thing is not uncommon among the nobles!"
A question mark appeared above Li Qi's head again: "?"
He stared at Elena in a daze, then turned to the other nobles. Seeing the expressions of approval or self-righteousness on their faces, he took a deep breath and looked at Sophie Yuna:
"Is this kind of thing... normal?"
"Rich, you don't need to know this. This has nothing to do with you!"
The more Sophie Yuna listened, the colder her expression became, and she looked at Elena as if she was looking at a dead person.
At this point, it is clear why Elena hates Li Qi. At the beginning, it was just Elena's wishful thinking, and she took the child's promise as true.
Then when Li Qi grew up a little, Elena couldn't wait to do something to him.
But how could Li Qi understand these things at that time? He just thought that Elena suddenly became strange, so he rejected Elena and told Zelia about it.
Then... he got drunk, delayed important matters, and was deprived of his status as an heir...
In short, Li Qi is the reason why Elena has fallen into this state.
But regarding this, Li Qi said that he would not take the blame! This was definitely not his fault! It was the fault of Elena who was crazy and wanted to do something to him! Damn it, why didn't I know before that the nobles were so... so... chaotic?
Li Qi thought about turning to Sophie Yuna, and suddenly understood why he didn't know these things before.
He was so well protected.
He was protected so well by Sophiuna, Zelia, and Yolin.
Therefore, he knew nothing about the dirty things going on among the nobles, and these people would not let the "innocent" Richie in their hearts know about this.
No wonder Sophie Yuna guards against all nobles, male or female, who approach Li Qi as if they were thieves.
So the root cause is here! Taking a deep breath again, Li Qi tried his best not to think about those things. He looked at Elena, and his original opinion of Elena also changed a little.
Originally, Li Qi just thought that Elena was the kind of person who took her anger out on Yolin and himself because her inheritance rights were taken away.
Now it seems that the other party is a pure pervert! The reason why she hates me is completely because of love turning into hate! Since I can't get it, I will completely destroy it. This kind of train of thought is really speechless.
Li Qi was too lazy to talk to Elena now. She grabbed Sophie Yuna's hand and tried to get the topic back on track: "...I'm sorry, Sister Elena, I don't plan to go with you."
After hearing what Li Qi said, Elena calmed down instantly and her expression became calm:
"Do you think you still have a chance of refusing now?"
"I think so." Li Qi grabbed Sophie and pulled her towards him. He stepped forward with his right foot and smiled: "-I have it."
"!"
Elena, slightly bewildered by Li Qi's smile, was stunned for a while.
But soon Elena's attention was attracted by the ground under Li Qi's feet.
The ground melted like melting snow, and the hard special rock floor actually flowed like water, covering Li Qi and Sophie Yuna in the blink of an eye! Seeing this scene, Elena took action instantly, and her own mecha appeared out of thin air. The huge fist broke through the void and smashed into the sphere in front of her.
While making her move, Elena was also wondering what kind of methods Li Qi was using.
Magic!? Taoism?! No... This place is clearly covered by an ability shielding device!
Due to concerns about accidents, an ability shielding device was used right from the start. Only people above level seven can exert their original power.
Li Qi definitely didn't have the seventh level, so what kind of ability did he use? Elena didn't understand, and she planned to smash the barrier that the other party had temporarily created, so she asked the other party directly.
I’ve thought about the above a lot, but in fact, from the time Li Qi created the barrier to the time Elena threw a punch, the whole process took less than a second.
To others, it was barely a blink of an eye.
However, even so, when Elena smashed the barrier created by Li Qi, she found that it was empty! "Where are the people?!"
Elena's eyes widened.
The rebellious eighth-level mechanic said, "Underground! They are advancing underground! And very fast!"
"Why can't I sense it!?"
"It seems... they have a shield?... They lost track."
In other words, while he was talking, the eighth-level mechanic lost track of Li Qi.
Logically speaking, this should not have happened. The consciousness of two eighth-level strongmen is enough to penetrate the entire planet. Even if this is an imperial planet with countless suppression devices, the two would not lose Li Qi's trace so quickly.
Obviously, Li Qi had other shielding methods that they had not discovered.
Seeing Elena's unhappy expression, the mechanic consoled her:
"The Queen should have known we were coming, so it's normal for them to be prepared."
“…I hope so.”
Elena looked gloomy.
Originally, she chose to disrupt Sophie's wedding alone in order to snatch Li Qi away and take revenge on Zelia.
But now, not only did Li Qi fail to get her, but Sophie Yuna was also taken away by Li Qi.
Although the Ninth Princess was just an extra in this matter, and the Queen and many ministers were the main course, this defeat still made Elena have a bad feeling.
I hope nothing unexpected happens to the Second Prince.
…
Decompose, transform, reconstruct.
These are the basic abilities that make up alchemy.
Li Qi discovered that after his alchemy had been improved and integrated, he didn't seem to be afraid of any blocking or suppression.
At least for now, what Elena prepared was of no use to him.
He used alchemy to decompose the ground, temporarily creating props to increase speed, and traveled underground.
Because it was a floating city, Li Qi didn't dare to go too far. After circling underground, he stopped.
This should be an underground passage located at the edge of the floating city.
"R…Rich?"
Sophie Yuna, who was brought down from above by Li Qi, was still in shock.
Although she could see Li Qi's movements clearly and knew what he did, it was precisely because of this that Sophie Yuna was so surprised at Li Qi's abilities.
Wasn't her fiancé a mecha master before? Where did this ability that seemed to use rules come from? ! Sophie Yuna stared at Li Qi in a daze, as if she was meeting him for the first time.
"Now is not the time to be surprised." Li Qi didn't have time to explain to Sophie Yuna.
During the time when the two men and Elena were arguing in the auditorium, the floating city had completely turned into a battlefield. Everywhere one could see the Second Prince's men and the Queen's men fighting each other.
The same is true for the underground passage here! If you want to know why, the energy that supports the floating city is in the underground core! If the second prince wants to completely block the floating city, so that the queen can't get out and reinforcements can't get in, then he is halfway to winning! Therefore, this place is also very chaotic, and the sound of shouting and killing can be heard everywhere.
The warehouse where Li Qi and Sophie Yuna are now? It's not safe. Someone may come here at any time.
"Okay, what do we do now?"
Sophie Yuna reacted and subconsciously asked Li Qi.
Li Qi looked at her with a strange expression and pointed at himself: "...You ask me?"
“…”
Sophie Yuna finally came back to her senses and regained some of her usual composure. She nodded and said, "That's true. Sorry, I was a little confused just now."
"It doesn't matter. Even if we do something, it won't help the overall situation."
Li Qi let go of Sophie and turned to look at the supplies in the warehouse, looking for materials that could be used to make alchemical tools while talking to Sophie.
The current situation is very obvious, that is, the struggle between the Queen's faction and the Second Prince's faction. The top combat power of both parties must involve the peak of the ninth level.
Although Sophie Yuna has some power, her power is not yet fully formed, so she cannot get involved in the fight between the two.
This is also why the Queen would compensate her and Li Qi, because the Queen also knew that in this incident, the two of them were victims and no one could change the overall situation.
Therefore, Sophie Yuna actually has no way to do anything now.
Originally, their job was to be hostages and wait for the Queen to end everything and rescue them.
But now... Li Qi brought them out.
"First... find a way to leave here? No... I have to go help the Queen Mother..."
Worried about Li Qi's safety, Sophie Yuna wanted to escape from here immediately.
But when she thought of the queen who was still here, Sophieuna became hesitant again.
Sophieuna's reverence for the Queen and the affection between her and the Queen made her very worried about the Queen.
And more importantly, if she escapes here now...it might further lower the Queen's opinion of her.
But Li Qi's safety is also important...
While Sophie Yuna was struggling, Li Qi had already been picking and choosing in the warehouse, and in the blink of an eye he had made several sets of knight uniforms.
"Okay, don't worry about it. Since you are worried about the Queen, just go and wait and see her. Although I don't think we can participate in their battle..."
Li Qi said as he threw the knight's uniform to Sophie Yuna.
Sophie Yuna looked at the knight's uniform and her eyes widened slightly: "What is this...?"
"Put on the clothes of the knights behind Elena. Let's go to the control room of the floating city now."
Li Qi said this and started changing his clothes in front of Sophie Yuna.
Since Sophie Yuna is hesitant, let him decide.
Apart from those big shots, the most important thing in the floating city is the city’s master control system. If the master control system is destroyed, people below level four will probably be killed.
In this floating city, the number of "ordinary people" below the fourth-level cultivators accounts for 80%.
Although the second prince's main purpose is to control this floating city, not to destroy it.
But as the saying goes, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
No matter what, Li Qi had to go to the control room to take a look.
As long as there is no level eight expert in the control room, Li Qi feels that he can handle even a level seven expert.
The alchemy he now mastered seemed to be 'a little bit' stronger than he had imagined.
