"Make her pay..."
Looking at the deadly greatsword blocking his way, the black-robed Hart extended a pale finger and pointed it at Queen Shah to the side.
Li Qingyu turned his head and saw Queen Shahei smiling and nodding at him, seemingly acknowledging Hart's statement. Li Qingyu then slowly lowered the sword of defeat and betrayal from his hand.
And just as Li Qingyu laid down the sword of defeat and betrayal.
With a whoosh, the black-robed Hart transformed into black smoke and swiftly disappeared into Diagon Alley behind the Philosopher's Stone.
Watching Hart's disappearing figure in black robes, Li Qingyu clicked his tongue.
I must say... this thing is pretty fast at running away...
Just then.
Queen Sha, dressed in a white dress, slowly walked to Li Qingyu's side and warmly invited him, "I wonder if Li Qingyu has the time now? Why don't you come with me to Blackham Palace so that I can properly entertain our hero from Blue Star?"
Li Qingyu blinked as he listened to Queen Shahei's words.
Going to someone's palace...
I've never been there before... I really want to go...
Unfortunately, Li Qingyu reconsidered and decided not to go.
Because... Li Qingyu is afraid of having scandals...
They're already on blind dates; it wouldn't be good if they had a scandal abroad...
Li Qingyu knew perfectly well that with the commotion he and Hart had caused in the Kingdom of Undying today, even if the surrounding crowd was controlled by Hart using unknown magic, what about the people further away?
Not to mention cell phones, surveillance cameras, satellite recordings, and the like... After all, we live in the information age...
Then rumors will spread that a Chinese athlete is having an affair with the Queen of the Invincible Kingdom...
Tsk tsk tsk....
Besides, we still need to go to the secret realm to farm evolution points, and we're in a rush. We don't have time to date foreign women...
"I don't have time right now, maybe next time..." Li Qingyu promptly declined. Then, he asked, "Queen Shahei, how do you plan to compensate my two daughters for their emotional distress?"
Li Qingyu didn't necessarily want compensation from the other party; he was just trying to scare the black-robed Hart.
However, since the Queen of the Kingdom of Budian wants to compensate him, Li Qingyu has no reason to refuse...
"I've long heard that contestant Li Qingyu likes yellow things, so..."
Queen Shahei seemed to have anticipated Li Qingyu's answer, raising her fair and delicate right hand.
Immediately, a soldier in red and white heavy armor, who was waiting near the luxurious carriage, walked over in step, carrying a gold tray covered with a red cloth.
Upon seeing this, Li Qingyu's heart stirred.
Hey....
This woman... seems to have been prepared all along...
Could it be... that this woman was spying on us the whole time...?
"She only jumped out to be a good guy when she saw that we were really going to kill her brother?" Li Qingyu wondered.
However...
The facts were pretty much as Li Qingyu had guessed; Queen Shahei had indeed been paying close attention to the situation here.
"Li Qingyu, what do you think of this?"
As she spoke, Queen Shahei reached out and lifted the red cloth from the golden tray.
Then, a stone with an irregular shape, but emitting a faint yellow light, appeared in front of Li Qingyu.
Looking at the stone, Li Qingyu narrowed his eyes, because... Crimson jumped out.
[Crimson: Wow, that's a huge pile of evolution points... You absolutely can't let this go!]
As expected, evolution points!
Magic core... magic crystal... or something else?
Li Qingyu's gaze sharpened.
In an instant, the properties of the yellow stone appeared.
【Super Synthetic Magic Crystal】
[Rank: SS]
[This artificially synthesized crystal contains a massive amount of earth-elemental magic. Due to a flaw in its manufacturing process, the earth-elemental magic within it has solidified and cannot be mobilized or used in any way.]
Artificially synthesized...magic crystals!?
Li Qingyu's eyes widened involuntarily.
At the same time, a roar echoed from Diagon Alley behind the Philosopher's Stone.
"Damn it! Damn black girl, you actually hid the magic crystal from me and gave it to an outsider?!"
"Damn it! Damn spendthrift!! Cough cough cough..."
However, although the black-robed Hart let out a defiant roar, it was absolutely impossible for him to actually come out...
Li Qingyu turned his head somewhat inexplicably to look at Diagon Alley in the distance, then at Queen Shahei in front of him, feeling that the relationship between the two siblings... seemed a little strange...
"Very good, I'm very satisfied. In that case... I'll gladly accept it!"
Strange as it may be, Li Qingyu would not let go of an SS-grade magic crystal.
Li Qingyu had always believed that there were no magic cores or magic crystals on Earth. But he never expected... that the Undying Kingdom had actually produced artificial magic crystals...
This shouldn't be happening... Given China's scientific research capabilities, and considering Leonardo da Vinci's incompetence, they still couldn't create magic crystals. What kind of country is this? They actually possess the technology to create artificial magic crystals?
After quickly putting away the SS-grade super-synthetic magic crystal, Li Qingyu couldn't help but ask curiously, "My dear Queen, do you have any more of these? Don't worry, money is no object!"
Yes, now that he knows it's a man-made magic core, Li Qingyu definitely has his own ideas...
