Chapter 99 Alchemy Puppet
Li Qi's alchemy was set up on the second floor.
Come out of the reception room, go up the stairs, cross the corridor on the second floor, and go to the hall at the end, which is Li Qi's alchemy room.
Butler Boren brought Lillian to the door of the alchemy room and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no "Do Not Disturb" sign on it.
He smiled and nodded at Lillian, then raised his hand and gently knocked on the door of the alchemy room.
Boom boom boom.
"Master, Miss Lillian is here. Do you want to see her?"
There was no sound from the back of the room.
Boren and Lillian looked at each other and raised their hands to knock on the door again.
As a result, before Burren's hand fell, one of the double doors in front of him was opened from the inside.
A dim light came from the alchemy room, which was the light reflected by the sunlight on the carpet.
A peculiar smell of wood and metal emanated from the alchemy room.
Because the smell was a bit pungent, Lillian subconsciously opened the fan to cover her mouth and nose.
Then she looked at the person who opened the door.
No, it wasn't a human who opened the door.
It was a mechanical creation.
Its body is square, with several metal joints at the bottom and several 'arms' with various tool parts at the top.
One of the tweezer-like hands was placed on the door handle of the alchemy room.
Apparently it was it that helped open the door.
The square-shaped mechanical creature returned to its original position with a "clicking" sound after opening the door.
Upon seeing this, Boren immediately explained to Lillian, "This is one of the master's alchemical puppets. The master calls him 'Xiao Jin'."
"Puppet...Puppet!?"
Lillian looked incredulous.
She is a member of the Urno family. She was the one who personally handed the alchemical manuscript to Li Qi, so she knew something about the contents of the manuscript.
Lillian knew very well that the alchemical creation called "puppet" was the main thing mentioned in the alchemical manuscript.
The Urno family had also been trying to study puppets before, but in the end they had not been able to produce any results.
As a result, now...
How long has it been since Li Qi got the alchemy manuscript? He has already created a puppet that can move freely? !
Lillian was shocked by this, and her eyes sparkled, with a little more admiration for Li Qi in her heart.
What so many people, so many talented magicians, and so many talented alchemists could not accomplish, Li Qi could accomplish alone within a few months.
How could such an outstanding person not be admired?
Lillian thought about it and looked around the alchemy room, trying to find Li Qi.
She didn't have to search for too long before she saw a young man fiddling with a puppet on one side of the room.
Perhaps because he hadn't been out for a long time, the boy's dark golden hair was a little long and messy.
With his back to Lillian, he seemed to have just noticed someone coming in, and turned around to look at the two people who came in.
"Bern...Oh, and Miss Lillian, is it this time already?"
The boy wore gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and his eye sockets under the glasses were slightly dark, looking as if he had not slept well.
Compared to the day they met at Urno's house, the boy was less sharp and more full of life.
He took out his pocket watch, glanced at it, and then said:
"I'm sorry, Miss Lillian, I've kept you waiting for so long. Boren, please take Miss Lillian to the living room first. I'll be there soon."
"Master, Miss Lillian has been waiting in the living room for a long time."
"Oh...then take her for a walk in the garden."
Li Qi said indifferently, not noticing the hidden meaning behind Burren's words.
Boren was somewhat helpless. He actually wanted to remind the head of the family that he could take advantage of this time to cultivate more feelings with the future wife of the head of the family.
But it was obvious that Li Qi didn't care about any of this at all.
The only things in his eyes were the alchemical puppets he had created.
As a subordinate, it was not easy for Boren to say anything to the head of the family. After receiving Li Qi's order, he turned around and looked back at Lillian.
Lillian said nonchalantly, "Then let's go to the garden first, Butler Burren."
As she spoke, she looked in Li Qi's direction again.
Although the puppet that Li Qi was currently making was blocked by his body, Lillian could still vaguely observe the general appearance of the puppet.
It was a humanoid puppet.
Or say.
It was a body that looked very similar to a human...
Puppet.
…
It has been mentioned countless times in the alchemy manuscripts left behind by the God of Magic that it is not difficult to refine puppets.
The difficulty lies in how to make them act autonomously without the magician's magic power supply.
The God of Law was stumped at this point.
But Li Qi solved this most critical problem.
Through the amplification of the magic device, he created a magic storage technique that can temporarily store some magic as a backup energy supply.
One of the three magics fixed on the aircraft is the magic storage technique.
As long as we find a way to strengthen the magic storage technique on the puppet and then deposit the magic into it, the stored magic will provide the puppet with energy for movement.
In short, Reach created a magical version of a 'battery'.
With batteries as a supply, Li Qi can start creating movable puppets.
The first puppet created by Li Qi was "Xiao Jin", the puppet that opened the door for Boren and Lillian just now.
Its inspiration comes from Benben in the movie "The Wandering Earth", except that it has many more "arms" for work than Benben.
Xiao Jin's creation was successful, but also a failure.
Because even with energy drive, Xiao Jin doesn't have much ability to act independently.
It was at this time that Li Qi discovered that a crucial thing was missing in the alchemy manuscript.
That is the 'instruction' to the puppet.
Without corresponding instructions, even if the puppets are created and have energy to drive them, they can only rely on the magician's manual operation to perform their work.
During this period, Li Qi tried to add commands to the puppet, but the results were not very good.
The instructions were added successfully, but the instructions that can be added are limited.
Currently, there are only a few items in Xiao Jin’s instructions.
Take action, open the door, close the door, turn off the light when you hear the sound, and hand over the corresponding tool in your arm when you hear the corresponding words.
It's similar to those artificial mentally retarded robots in previous lives.
This obviously did not satisfy Li Qi.
After all, if that were all, the movable dolls that Li Qi envisioned would basically be just an unattainable dream.
“…I guess it’s not possible in this life.”
Li Qi thought about it and raised his hand to look at his palm.
He was finally able to detect his magic excess syndrome, and Li Qi also saw that the flesh around the magic circuits inside his body had begun to be assimilated by the magic.
There was no pain and it did not affect his movements, but Li Qi could feel his life slipping away.
The more magic power is used and the more magic power is accumulated, the more serious the symptom will be. During this period, Li Qi has been using alchemical transformation techniques to make puppets, which has aggravated his condition.
It was originally estimated that it would take at most five years, but now according to Li Qi's estimation, three years is the maximum.
He died at the age of eighteen, exactly the same age as in his first life.
"The first life..."
Thinking of his first life, Li Qi looked again at the puppet he was studying.
It was a doll that looked like a girl. It had a female body, but its wooden head had no facial features or expression.
Reacher has not yet produced.
This is the first doll that Li Qi tried to make, and it is also a doll based on his friend in his first life.
Li Qi's friend is called Zhang Yang.
She is Li Qi's first friend after his reincarnation. She is the guitarist and lead singer of the band, and also the happy pill in the team.
She is also the first person that Li Qi has a crush on.
It’s just a pity…
His eyes dimmed a little, and Li Qi stopped looking at the unfinished doll. He turned around and left the alchemy room.
When guests come to his house, he has to entertain them at least.
…
"As for the wedding, you can do whatever you want. I only have one request, keep it simple."
After knowing Lillian's purpose, Li Qi said calmly.
Seeing that Li Qi seemed to be indifferent to the wedding, Lillian asked in a low voice: "Colonel, do you have any other opinions?"
"No, that's all. I only have this request. Also, Miss Lillian, I think you know very well why we are getting married, so I hope you won't disturb my life after marriage."
Li Qi's attitude was a little cold. When he said this, he didn't even look at Lillian, but was holding a newspaper and reading the latest news.
After knowing that his lifeline was getting shorter and shorter, Li Qi found that his emotions were becoming more and more indifferent.
He felt as if he no longer cared about anything except alchemy.
Even now, I regret agreeing to the marriage with the Urno family.
But he had received the alchemy manuscript after all, and it would not be nice to go back on his word, so Li Qicai did not refuse.
But the necessary explanations should still be provided.
Li Qi didn't want to be bothered by these messy things in the last moments of his life.
Li Qi's words were very ruthless, and Lillian's eyes, which were the same color as Li Qi's, dimmed a little.
She nodded slightly and said:
"I see."
"Anything else?"
"…there is none left."
"Then please go back, Miss Lillian. It's very late now."
Li Qi ruthlessly ordered them to leave.
Lillian was stunned for a moment, and something crystal clear seemed to be about to flow out of her eyes.
Butler Boren couldn't bear it, so he gently reminded Li Qi:
"Master, you can let Miss Lillian stay. This... is probably what Miss Lillian thinks."
Lillian nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then said: "Colonel, I... I can stay here today! If you want, I can even help you bathe..."
"unnecessary."
Hearing what Lillian said, Li Qi frowned even more tightly.
He turned to look at Lillian, and seeing her aggrieved and somewhat shy expression, he understood what the Urno family was planning.
The social interactions of the nobility were chaotic to begin with, and it was common for them to stay overnight at various families or even hold some kind of unnamed party.
Li Qi and Lillian are about to get married, so it doesn't matter if Lillian stays here.
As long as Li Qi wanted, he could do anything he wanted to Lillian today.
But unfortunately, Li Qi’s mind is now full of his alchemical doll.
Besides, Lillian is only fourteen years old this year, and Li Qi doesn't want to commit a crime.
He said mercilessly: "If you want to stay, stay, Burren, prepare a guest room for her. If there is nothing else..."
As Li Qi was speaking, his voice suddenly stopped.
Upon seeing this, Boren immediately asked:
"Master, do you have any other requests?"
“…No, I just saw some news.”
Li Qi said as he placed the newspaper on the top of the garden stone table.
Boren looked at the newspaper and saw the following news.
The headline of the news was -
The capital of England was hit by a meteorite
