My Endless Life

The royal capital of the kingdom is in the very center of the safe zone.

If you look down from the sky, you can see that the entire kingdom is a circle with the royal capital as the center.

All capitals are built within the circle, and the distance between each capital is about the same. After one layer of circles disappears, there is another layer.

Finally, there is the royal capital in the center.

The royal capital has no name, maybe it had one before, but after the city completely belonged to the royal family, it only had one name left.

Royal city.

The center of the royal city is where the royal family of the kingdom is located.

At this moment, in the royal council hall, the current king of the kingdom, King Shax, was sitting on the throne, looking down at the pink-haired lolita who came to report.

"So, the people of the surviving clan will set up a gathering place on the first floor?"

The old king with a gray beard, who looked like he had stepped out of a poker room, asked while stroking his beard.

Carol nodded and said:

"This is what the current leader of the surviving clan said. He said that he wanted to make a deal with the kingdom. They would provide a suitable safe spot in the first-layer fog area for our fog-exploring family to rest in. In exchange, we need Give them the food and water they need to survive."

Li Qi's requests were all based on normal human needs.

Although it is uncertain whether the survivors still need food and water, there must still be transactions.

Otherwise, the Kingdom will inevitably think too much.

Carol did not say that the current patriarch was Li Qi, nor did she say that Li Qi was once a member of the kingdom.

She was just relaying the requests of the bereaved family as a middleman, and Carol would not mention other insignificant things.

Shax stroked the fluffy beard on his chin and thought, and asked:

"Such a big thing happened to the surviving family, so their relics..."

"Part of it was taken away by the Light Chasers, and part of it was kept by the last royal family of the surviving family."

“Since the Light Chasing Society can take away their relics the first time, it can take away their relics the second time.

"Qing Carol, please go back and ask the king of the surviving clan if he is interested in keeping the relics with us. In exchange, I can send people to help them build a city in the fog area as their new home."

Shax said with a smile, and his words sounded like he was thinking about the survivors.

But Carol is not a real child, let alone an idiot, so she can naturally understand the implication of Shax's words.

"Your Majesty the King, this...is not good..."

Carol stared at King Shax in disbelief. She never thought that the king would have such thoughts.

Shax responded:

"What's wrong? Do you want the Light Chasing Society to take away all the special relics of the bereaved family?"

"Things belonging to the bereaved family..."

"Sir Carol, the relics no longer exist. If they continue to keep those relics, they are just causing trouble for themselves. We took the relics back to protect them."

Shax said the right thing.

Carol's mouth was open for a long time and she couldn't speak.

Shakes continued: "Just go back and tell them. I think they should know how to choose."

Shax said and left the council chamber, leaving Carol alone.

Carol stared blankly at the king being escorted away by the guards, feeling incredible.

She doesn't have much contact with the royal family, that is, she will meet with the king of the royal family before each exploration team sets off.

In Carol's heart, she had a very good impression of Shax, who was kind and kind, and regarded the people of the kingdom as his children.

Carol also had full respect for His Majesty the King. Even though she was always irritable, she was quite respectful in front of the King without any rudeness.

But today, Carol's filter on the king was a little broken.

Facing a group that has lost its homeland, King Shax's first thought was not how to protect them, but the relics held by their group.

Doesn't Shax know that the special relics left by the survivors are the key to their survival in the fog zone?

Doesn't he know that once the special relics of the survivors are taken away, it will be more difficult for the survivors to survive in the fog zone?

Carol believed that Shax must know this.

But even so, he still wanted to get the relics of the deceased family in his hands...

"Okay now, what should I tell that brat Li Qi...?"

Carol thought quite confusedly after leaving the palace.

Malu and the others haven't come back yet, and something happened again on Li Qi's side.

If the kingdom insists on robbing it, Carol doesn't think Li Qi can keep the relics of the surviving family, so what she needs to consider now is.

Should he find a way to persuade Li Qi to hand over the things, or should he stand with Li Qi and find a way to make the king give up this idea.

"Tsk, my head hurts thinking about it, damn Malu, why hasn't he come back yet?!"

Rubbing her long pink hair frantically, Carol cursed.

Usually when she had something difficult to think about, she would go to Malu to discuss it, but now Malu and the exploration team are still in the fog area and have not returned yet. Carol has no choice but to find someone to discuss it with.

But as she thought about it, Carol couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Something must have happened to Maru and the others...

…

Li Qi didn't know what Carol had experienced in the kingdom.

Because the kingdom is far away from the fog area, even if Carol goes to the kingdom to report the situation at the fastest speed, it will take more than a month to go back and forth.

In this more than a month, Li Qi has helped the survivors build a simple settlement in the first layer of the Immortal Forest.

The Immortal Forest is called the Immortal Forest because the trees here cannot be cut down or burned.

Even if the trees are cut down, the cut parts will disappear quickly, and the broken roots will grow rapidly and become new towering trees.

So it is basically impossible to create an open space for people to live in this area.

However, in the process of studying the trees in the Immortal Forest, Li Qi found that if the center of the tree is hollowed out instead of cutting the tree, the hollowed-out part will not recover.

The trees will also maintain vitality.

So Li Qi thought of a way. He asked people to build bridges between trees, hollow out the trunks in the middle of the trees, and build tree houses.

Then Ronnie went to the city to purchase some simple construction resources. In just one month, a small tribe built between trees was formed.

The survivors quickly adapted to life among the trees. They picked up bows and arrows and hunted among the trees, just like the forest in a fantasy world.

Well, the word hunting should be put in quotation marks.

The meat of fog beasts cannot be eaten, one is that it tastes bad, and the other is that it is highly toxic.

The reason why the survivors took up bows and arrows is to prevent the death-telling birds flying around in the woods from invading the gathering place.

In the past, in the disorderly city, there was a barrier made by the fourth relic, and the fog beasts could not enter the residence of the survivors, and the survivors did not have to allocate manpower to prevent monster invasions.

The role of the guard team is more to maintain order and prevent invasions from foreign enemies such as the Chasing Light Society.

But now, the survivors live in the fog area, and because of environmental problems, they can only build tree houses and build settlements in the air, without even a fence around them.

This also led to the flying fog beasts in the past easily breaking into the territory of the survivors.

Criticize the death-telling birds by name.

They fly around the gathering place shouting "die" every day, which makes the guard captain Ai Lei very angry.

That's why she formed a new guard team, asked people to make bows and arrows, and personally led people to hunt these annoying death-telling birds.

"Death, death, death" every day, too unlucky!

The survivors have become the "elves" of the misty world. Li Qi thinks this is good. At least it means that the survivors are very adaptable. Even if he is not here in the future, the survivors will probably be able to survive smoothly.

However, the gathering place has not been completely built, and the transaction with the kingdom has not been completed. The survivors are not completely safe.

So Li Qi has to stay here for a while longer as king.

Since he has to stay here for a long time, Li Qi can't be idle.

While studying the surprise treasure chest, Li Qi used the surprise treasure chest, the death-telling birds that were recently hunted by the survivors as the basic materials, and his knowledge of alchemy as an aid.

Successfully created the same series of "relic dolls" with the surprise treasure chest.

Li Qi called it "Multi-functional auxiliary puppet type 1".

The name sounds a bit long, but it can perfectly explain the role of these puppets.

The purpose of their creation by Li Qi is to assist the survivors in handling some daily affairs.

Such as cleaning windows, mopping the floor, washing vegetables, cutting meat, carrying... and other miscellaneous tasks.

Because of the material problem, Li Qi can only let them do these jobs.

Although they are not incapable of fighting, their overall strength is only equivalent to that of ordinary mist-level explorers, and they are really not suitable for fighting.

However, with service puppets, there will naturally be combat puppets.

At present, Li Qi has asked Ai Lei to send a part of the guard team to collect the lives of the fog beasts on the second layer. He plans to use the fog beasts on the second layer as materials to make combat puppets, thereby reducing the pressure on the guard team.

"But... this puppet looks a bit creepy..."

Returning his sight to the service puppet, Li Qi looked at the puppet's mouth and facial features without eyes and nose, and muttered softly.

The puppet heard Li Qi's voice, tilted its head, and asked in a very mechanical voice:

"Master, do you need anything?"

"...Help me get the book over there."

"Understood."

The puppet, which looked like a wooden object, ran to a wooden table and handed the storybook on the wooden table to Li Qi.

"But there is no problem with the instructions..."

Li Qi nodded slightly.

These relics puppets made by Li Qi are a bit similar to Jinghua, and can be set with some instructions by the creator Li Qi.

Including core instructions, action instructions, standby instructions, etc.

And the instructions Li Qi gave to these puppets are similar to Jinghua.

First, everything is based on Li Qi and obey all his orders. Second, do not do anything that hurts Li Qi. Third, do not do anything that hurts others without violating the above two instructions. Fourth, if you do not violate the above instructions, save your own life first.

In order to allow the survivors to use the puppets better, Li Qi added another one.

If you do not violate the first and second instructions, obey the orders of the survivors.

The above are the basic rules that Li Qi set for these relic dolls.

Li Qi, a little narcissistic, called it "Li Qi's Doll Code".
