Chapter 23 Decision
Pushing open the door of Liqi's study, what greeted Curt was the heavy darkness and the subtle smell of various medicines. A smell of mint mixed with burnt leather emanated from the inside of the room and gradually penetrated into his nose. Although this smell was not bad, it made people feel quite uncomfortable.
Curt thought to himself that this guy wouldn't have thought of any new way to pretend to be dead again, and then immediately put it into practice in the study room? But after thinking about it, he felt it was unlikely. After all, Liqi loved her collection of books very much and would avoid the study room every time she was making a fuss.
He was not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of if he was. In order to avoid this time being "in case", he still tentatively shouted into the dark study: "Liqi, are you inside?"
To his surprise, he received a response soon.
"It's really a loss of composure. I haven't used large-scale spells for too long, and my technology is unfamiliar. The technique will collapse due to the large search area." Liqi's tone was very relaxed, and she could not tell at all that she had any loss of composure. "Wait a moment, I'll restore the lighting first."
Ruddy—
The sound of a girl flipping through things sounded in the space, and then not long after, the "lamp" she said was lit - it was more than a dozen protein-colored crystals suspended in the air, emitting a soft light, revealing everything in this originally dark space.
This is a room that is so messy that it feels depressing.
In this crowded room, Liqi, wearing a loose robe, looked at Curt standing opposite her as if she had not woken up. At this time, her behavior was as casual as before, but there was no trace of fatigue in her eyes that had once been filled with it, but instead she was filled with seriousness and seriousness.
The round walls were occupied by wonderful specimens, weird ornaments and mountainous books, and were almost buried. This room looked like a study room, but it did not have the slightest arrangement and intellectuality that it should have. It was more appropriate to say that it was a madman's laboratory.
The layout of this room is completely different from that of Curt's impression. He remembered that when he came to this room yesterday, it was quite neat when he returned the book he borrowed last time. Although Liqi seemed unorganized in everything she did, she was only concerned about the management of these collections.
However, many of these books that were carefully kept by Li Qi were scattered on the ground, and some were blackened with covers. Especially a thick book with a brass corner, it almost scattered with wonderful geometric patterns on the cover, and the content pages full of obscure and difficult-to-understand texts were scattered everywhere.
The culprit of this incident is undoubtedly the strange magic cube array painted in the center of the study. The small boxes of seven rectangles are symmetrically distributed, and the boxes are filled with dense ancient texts. A curve passes through the centers of these rectangles and connects them together.
The lapis lazuli brought back by Liqi at that time was placed in the middle of this magic cube. At this time, its surface was covered with spider-web-like cracks, giving people a feeling that it would be crushed with just a little touch. If Curt was not wrong, Liqi almost blew the study while investigating this thing.
It's just that the results are, I don't know what's going on.
"What are you doing?" Curt looked at Liqi standing next to a pile of fallen books and said, "Tell me, how long did you take to experiment with this new variety before I come back?"
"Who do you think I am? I am one of the few great spell casters in the world." Liqi said proudly, but her actions became a little slow and less persuasive. "I can only explain such a simple technique in a few hours."
“As for the results…”
Maybe she thought it was too troublesome to explain it, so she might as well demonstrate it to Curt directly. Before she finished speaking, she once again operated the magic cube array drawn on the ground. The refined magic power surged out of her hand and poured into the rectangular magic cube array structure representing the beginning in one breath.
Suddenly, the magic cube array was activated, and the locked room was surrounded by wind from nowhere. Under the urging of the spell, the air began to flow, and they slowly circulated on the arc that guided the magic power, giving the ancient words written where they passed through the light of different colors.
Each spell is an "algorithm" that transforms different concepts into phenomena based on magic. Each algorithm has a unique structure. Even if Curt knows some knowledge about spells, he cannot understand what the algorithm Liqi compiled not long ago means.
But no matter who it is, you can see the phenomenon clearly—
Under Li Qi's operation, the text of the store of the Magic Cube array continued to flash, and finally the magic power contained in the text turned into a blue silk thread, pouring into the lapis lazuli in the core. In the continuous vibration, the lapis lazuli reflected a turquoise brilliance and formed a spider-like outline around it. At the same time, through the ever-expanding cracks on the surface, you can barely see a large number of hollowed-out patterns on the inside of the gem.
"Koter, have you seen it? The traces depicted on that core." After the demonstration, Liqi immediately stopped the output of magic power, and the magic cube array that lost its energy supply flashed for a few times, and then there was no reaction. "This kind of processing method is commonly used by our old friends."
Curt's previous bad premonition came to his senses here, and he frowned and said, "But they were indeed destroyed in the previous battle..."
Liqi robbed the white house and said, "Who knows? It is possible that we did not successfully end them completely before, or that they were the same organization as us. It is even possible that their organization had its technology outflow when it was disbanded, and now people who use the same technology as them are other organizations that have nothing to do with it."
"No matter what, it is impossible to make a final conclusion before intelligence is determined."
Her spirit was completely silenced. Spells without optimization algorithms require the caster to spend more magic to maintain, and it will also make her pay attention to more variables when operating. Liqi is an excellent caster, but it is impossible to devote all her energy to it and not tired.
Curt sighed quietly: "Even you shouldn't complete this work in one go. Reversely compiling such a complex spell operation structure into a prototype, the magic and energy consumed in this way are not a small amount. In short, you should go and have a good rest now."
"This is not a very important thing." Liqi suddenly pulled the topic away, "Don't talk about me for now, did you get any information on the side of the eldest sister's head?"
"Information?" Curt hesitated for a moment before continuing, "There is no intelligence. After all, we cannot act beyond our authority. So the eldest sister decided to notify all the mercenaries who had accepted the work in the suburbs first, so that they could pay attention while working... that is, wait and see."
"Watch it? I don't really believe this is the decision that my elder sister will make." Liqi walked to a rattan lounge chair and sat down and responded, her voice slightly dry. "The only possibility is you. You must have deliberately misled her, so he would make such a decision, right?"
Curt answered without changing his face: "It's not my business, this is the final conclusion drawn by the eldest sister. The cause is that the guard team took over the investigation report of the incident, and after they conducted an investigation of "nothing" and asked us to handle it like this."
"So, this is powerless for the current mercenary management office." Curt spread his hands exaggeratedly, saying, "After all, after they seized the power of handling, they can't easily interfere in the work from the perspective of the mercenary management office."
"In other words, if you are not discovered, just intervene as a personal identity?" The girl who saw through what Curt said sneered, and then she looked at Curt with a cunning look. "So can you tell me what you plan to do as a personal identity?"
She leaned against the rattan lounge chair, tremblingly took off a tube of colorless potion with blue bubbles from the coffee table on her right and slowly poured it into her throat. After the spell cast just now, her thin body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of tired atmosphere. Just talking to her words was like having to spend all her energy.
Seeing Liqi's powerless look, Curt originally wanted to say something, but the words seemed to be blocked in his throat and could not speak, so he had to shut his mouth.
She laughed like a prank: "Are you planning to take risks alone, or use a little laughing method to obtain information? But I still remember that the person who said to me, 'This world is no longer a world that must be fought' is you standing here."
The previous role was like the other way around, and Curt hurriedly waved his hand to deny Liqi's statement: "No, no, what are you talking about? I don't plan to do anything. After an agreement before, all actions are prioritized to maintain peace and daily life, so I will not act at will."
But Liqi did not believe Curt's defense.
She reluctantly sat up from the recliner, stared at Curt with a warm gaze and said, "Yes, your policy has not changed at all. 'All actions are prioritized for maintaining a peaceful daily life'. So whatever is likely to threaten this daily life must be cleaned up, right?"
Faced with Liqi's calm and impressed questioning, Curt suddenly became silent, and a low and short ** sounded in his throat. After a long silence, Curt reacted. He scratched his cheek with his hand and began to whisper his thoughts.
"Eliminating these uncertainties will not only harm our hard-earned daily life, but may even completely destroy him. At that time, our situation will be quite troublesome. So just leave this to me. You should at least believe in my ability, right?"
"Of course I believe in your ability, but I am a little unhappy with the guardian posture you are now." Liqi closed her eyes slightly and then opened it again, "We shouldn't be like this. I can understand your thoughts, but because of this, I cannot always accept your unilateral protection."
Curt sighed: "I don't want to hide it from you or anything else. I just want you to stop thinking about those tired battles and fighting each other... In that war, you fought to live the life you are now, would you still have to give up the results you have already obtained?"
At this time, the expression on his face no longer had the hippie smile he had just now, but had a serious expression.
"So I should leave all the troubles to you for my 'daily'?" Liqi raised her head and looked at Curt, her dark eyes sucking light like an abyss. "No, I can't agree. At this time, I can't stay out of it."
Liqi's appearance was obviously determined. Cott, who knew that she could not convince her, supported her forehead with her hands: "Okay, if I make up my mind to take the initiative, of course I have no right to stop you. But can you tell me what you are planning to do?"
"Happiness is coming."
