New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 58 Let’s go to the future to find the key to the box
The first week was a big failure.

If you run too fast, the horse will die.

Lei Ye, who was thrown to the ground, could only watch the knights he had finally surpassed rushing past him. Surprisingly, there was no despair in his heart, only a slight sadness. A knight who passed by stabbed him with a knife, causing his head to fly up in a graceful arc.

In the second week, Lei Ye fed Longma some good food in advance.

[The Cook] began to exert his strength, and this time the horse ran very fast, strong and enduring. It kicked the ground hard and soon surpassed the Knights.

An hour earlier than the first time returning to the Demon King's Castle, there were only traces of super-level magic bombing on the ground. Lei Ye was delighted. He thought that this broken save file would also be broken if it fell into his hands, but he didn't expect to catch up so soon.

"I come--!"

He took out his swords and climbed up the wall excitedly.

The next second, some kind of magic circle that he had never seen before appeared under his feet, followed by a column of icicles rising up and pushing him up to the sky.

Fly high and break through the clouds.

Then he fell, and in mid-air he saw the five people fighting each other, all kinds of fancy magic were thrown back and forth, and occasionally there was hand-to-hand combat, and the collision of swords produced an explosive roar. It is worth mentioning that Buyadi was completely suppressed by the four knights. Even after seeing it with his own eyes, Lei Ye was still unwilling to believe this scene. He just felt that this feeling might be because Buyadi looked quite tired, while the knights were still expressionless like machines.

The view from a high place is quite good.

Lei Ye turned his head to look in another direction and immediately discovered something. It was a very large and tall pillar that constantly emitted strong magical fluctuations. There were a lot of traces of magical attacks and several corpses near the pillar.

Looking through the telescope, those people were not dressed like warriors, but rather auxiliary professions such as engineers, alchemists, and support mages, and they had all been killed by Buyadi.

As for the big pillar, Lei Ye could tell at a glance that it was a magic item, but he didn't know what such a large magic item was used for. Judging from its size, it was most likely a magic cannon.

Ah. Come to think of it, these people didn’t even notice that I was here.

Lei Ye just felt that he found himself a little funny. He had finally run over here, but he was like an ant that had strayed into the battlefield of immortals. He was killed by a random range magic.

Wait, he seems to know what that magic item is for.

A turbulent wind suddenly blew around him, pressing him down!
Lei Ye tried frantically to put on the Wings of Wind, but it was no use. He was pinned down, as if being pushed hard to the ground by an invisible giant hand.

That pillar is a no-fly device.

Lei Ye thought so as he banged his head against the ground and heard a crisp sound from his neck.

Week 3.

I can't stand it anymore. I'm too sleepy. After three consecutive sleepless runs, even if my physical condition is fine, my spirit, which has not had any rest for nine days, can no longer bear it.

Lei Ye collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Sit up again.

Bu Yadi has fought for more than 300 consecutive saves, and there are only three saves now, she is still far from enough!

Grinning in pain, Lei Ye tapped his neck to relieve the phantom pain. He once again jumped on his horse and headed towards the Demon King's Castle.

—— Week 12 ——

Lei Ye collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Now, besides being tired, he felt only anger.

Damn, the difficulty of this level is a bit exaggerated.

In these nine save files, after he was killed by area magic several times in a row, he finally found a gap and broke in when they were fighting in close combat.

First, Buyadi was ecstatic and exclaimed, "I know this skill is given to you, then I can rest assured!" Leiye found the right opportunity to run to her side and gave her the top-level amplification set meal and the bowl of mandrake soup.

After finishing this task, he felt stable.

But it didn't happen. After drinking the grass soup and eating the set meal, Buyadi did become lively. However, when the four knights on the opposite side saw Buyadi stuffing food into her mouth, they also started to pour food into their mouths as if they were reading instructions.

When they fought again, Buyadi was suppressed even more severely. Lei Ye was dumbfounded. The four knights were like mad dogs, chasing Buyadi and slashing him repeatedly. When passing by Lei Ye, the oldest male knight stabbed Lei Ye with a knife. Lei Ye reacted quickly and raised his hand to block, but the opponent's long-handled sword was like a mountain pressing down. The power was unstoppable and fell on his forehead with the holy sword, which made Lei Ye's mind open.

When the pain disappeared, I was in this wasteland again.

Lei Ye became more and more collapsed, but he vaguely realized that this was just the beginning.

"No. Where on earth did these four bastards come from? My Buyadi is invincible. Who dares to kill her? Who can kill her?!"

Unable to hold back any longer, Lei Ye began to question the Holy Sword angrily.

In these twelve save files, the Holy Sword suddenly became less talkative and did not show up, but just silently provided assistance.

Although the Holy Sword fully supports Lei Ye now, Lei Ye still feels a sense of resentment in his heart. He always feels that the Holy Sword wants him to understand that no matter how hard he tries, he cannot save this dead end.

But if he really gives his full support, he should also tell him all the information. Lei Ye thought about it and decided that he should ask Shengjian about what happened during this period.

After all, it was too sudden and too split, just like he was eating hotpot, singing songs, and enjoying the happy daily life of scorched earth style a few days ago, and suddenly, his best wife in the world died, and he didn't even have time to react.

Even now, he still can't calm down.

"The Four Knights of Boqi are four sharp knives that the Frey Empire has cultivated for decades. You are confused because you cannot understand why four people who can defeat Buyadhi suddenly appear. This is easy to understand. It is not because Buyadhi is strong enough. There are many brave men stronger than her in history. It's just that she used her abilities to clean up these people in advance. You feel it's sudden because if it wasn't sudden, there would be no way to kill Buyadhi. This is a decapitation plan against Buyadhi that has been prepared for decades."

Holy Sword said so.

Fortunately, what she said about her full support was not a lie, and she was not a riddler who answered whatever was asked.

"The high-level demons originally made up for the difference with the short-lived species with excellent growth potential by having a long lifespan. Bu Yadi's talent is not outstanding. Her only advantage is that she tempers herself in an almost crazy way, and this advantage was wiped out by the king in an extremely inhumane way."

That is to say, while Buyadi was practicing frantically by using the rewind time, these four people were controlled by hypnosis and were hiding in the dark in the same way to increase their strength.

The growth potential of short-lived species is always higher, and these four people are the best selected from thousands of people, so this makes sense.

The old man used their lives as a price to forcibly stack the numbers and create four artificial heroes. The so-called hypnosis was not used on Buyadi at all, but to control these knights firmly in his hands like machines.

It would have been nice if I could have had some snack time on the Apprentice Knight's side quest before.

"But no matter how powerful they are, they can't be unable to escape, right? The flying speed of the Lobu is similar to that of a fighter jet." Lei Ye suddenly remembered the strange magic item he saw in the scorched earth, so he changed the question, "Are those witches of the Frey Empire really that accurate? Did they just block Buyadi's save node?"

"No witch can calculate so accurately. They can only calculate that if they attack at a certain time, they have a chance to win. This possibility has even burned up countless witches' lives. In the past hundreds of years, countless of them died at the age of twelve, just for this day. As for the escape you mentioned, Buyadi has tried it in the previous save file, and there was no chance of escape." The Holy Sword paused, "I have been trying to find a way to get you away from Buyadi temporarily. If you were with Buyadi at that time, it would really be a disaster, so I tried to cancel the protection of your memory. Based on my observation and analysis of you over the years, you really want to solve this matter independently."

"You said you were protecting my memory." Lei Ye suddenly realized something. "So, the previous memories can be retained, and the previous memories suddenly cannot be retained. It turns out that it was all your fault, right!"

There was a moment of silence. "How can you say it was my fault? I'm very sad."

Her figure suddenly appeared in front of Lei Ye.

She still had the same long light blonde hair, but today she was no longer wearing a black dress, but a cloud-like white dress, which seemed to be the same style as Sekopos's.

Bending slightly, she assumed a respectful attitude towards Lei Ye.

"For your sword, the task that the goddess gave me was to keep you from being affected by the replay, and to kill her in a similar way to the four knights of Boqi until she handed over the replay. In the five years when you had no chance, I did nothing to avoid confusing you. At the critical moment of the final battle, I protected your memory and allowed you to quickly get closer to Buyadi. This encirclement was what I learned from the Frey Empire during Buyadi's repeated replays in the past five years. Although it was not much, I knew it was probably at this time, so I cancelled the protection of your memory some time ago, guided you away from the battlefield, and saved you from the strong burden of more than 300 replays on your brain. When Buyadi could only passively replay and could not cancel it, she could not bear it after all, and could only hand over the replay to you who was closest to her and trusted the most. I lost the guidance of the goddess, but I still successfully completed the task that the goddess gave me. I worked so hard, why do you say that I was the one who did it?"

"Damn it, the goddess is sick!" Lei Ye was anxious, and reached out to grab Shengjian's shoulder, but he staggered as if he was passing through a phantom. He turned around and said, "Ask her if she doesn't know anything about Buyadi. Why are you worried about her having this skill? Why do you have to do this to Buyadi?!"

"Please be respectful to the goddess," the Holy Sword said in a slightly serious voice, "The goddess is dead. No matter what, completing her mission is our top priority. It is safest for you to possess this skill. The goddess once said so."

Lei Ye suddenly realized something and raised his voice to ask.

".Shouldn't the goddess be watching us like Buyadi watching the surveillance, and then come out from time to time to let me see the goddess' guidance or something? Are you sure she gave you a death order?"

The holy sword trembled slightly, and although its face was expressionless, it was obviously shaken.

For a long time, she repeated herself inorganically.

"The goddess is dead. No matter what, completing her mission is our top priority. It is safest for you to possess this skill. The goddess once said so."

Are you a robot?
Oh, this stupid ai holy sword, I am speechless.

Lei Ye's face showed pain. He turned his head to look at Longma who was chewing grass roots and the Knights who had long disappeared. He lay on the ground in giving up. He knew that he could not catch up with this save file and could only start over.

You can take this opportunity to take a short break and review what happened before.

Suppose, suppose the goddess didn't die, and everything went well at the beginning.

He successfully filled the novice gift package: a powerful inherent skill, a body with full attributes, and a holy sword that can resist rollback. Then, under the guidance of the goddess, after five years of growth, he does have the opportunity to jump out after a rollback, kill Buyadi thousands of times, and make her give up her rollback skill.

If Buyadi begged for mercy honestly, he probably would not have killed her but would have listened to her difficulties. After understanding the predicament of Jiaotu, the instinct coming from his bloodline would probably make him happy to help Buyadi cultivate some land in Jiaotu.

In that case, they might... no, definitely become friends.

That is probably the most perfect ending after the most epic adventure story.

But the goddess is dead.

Lei Ye suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look at the holy sword again.

"According to what you said, the Frey Empire didn't know that Buyadi had the skill of rewinding. In other words, to the Frey Empire, Buyadi was a demon king who was terribly powerful but had never actively invaded any human country. You know, she was that kind of demon king. But why, why did King B have to kill Buyadi?"

The answer is the same as Lei Ye thought -

"Food," the Holy Sword replied, "As long as the Scorched Earth cannot grow crops, then the Scorched Earth will never be self-sufficient in food. Buyadi will honestly buy food from human countries through imports, but what about the next Demon King, the Lower Demon King? Can such an arrogant, dangerous, and hungry race really stay in that land for a long time? If you are a king who still considers future generations, what will you choose?"

Reasonable.
The premise of the thousands of years of hostility between humans and demons in this alien world can be explained.

Lei Ye slowly took out a notebook from his pocket that he hadn't taken out for a long time. He opened it, flipped forward, and flipped forward again, until he reached the original position.

'Use your abilities to feed the hungry'

He snapped the notebook shut, stuffed it into his pocket, changed into a comfortable position and lay down again, falling into an uneasy sleep alone in the increasingly dark night.

——Week 112——

Lei Ye leaned on the griffin's corpse, holding his chest and grimacing. The intense phantom pain almost suffocated him. After a while, he barely realized that his body was safe and sound after he returned.

This time the replay also failed. His efforts gradually changed from killing the Four Knights to helping Buyadi escape, so he tried to sneakily get rid of the no-fly device, but after using more than ten save files to finally get it, he was dumbfounded again. The outer shell of this thing was made of Orihagang. Such a large piece of Orihagang could almost buy a small city. The people of the Frey Empire really spent a lot of money.

He scratched his head and tried to find a gap. The next second, a female knight gave up fighting with Buyadi and rushed directly towards him, piercing him through with her spear.

The more he went back in time, the more he realized one thing: this encirclement was too sudden for Lei Ye and Buyadi, but not for the Frey Empire. They had really been preparing for it for quite a long time and had taken almost every tiny factor into consideration.

Perhaps it was because his mental endurance was far inferior to that of Buyadi. He would be on the verge of reaching his limit after rewinding fifteen times in a row. He felt as if he had rushed through the game forty-four times in a row. So after every ten saves, Lei Ye would give himself a seven-day rest, doing nothing but lying in a daze in the wasteland.

Never before had a time lasted so long and been so difficult for him to endure.

During every break, he could always see Buyadi's shadow. She walked in the cracks of time, holding on to memories that no one else had, with a lonely back.

Lei Ye felt the loneliness.

".We can't win." He said suddenly.

He really couldn't win, he was fully aware of this.

He didn't have the memory of those more than 300 saves, but he believed that Buyadi was risking her life every time.

Even if I try again three hundred times, I still can't win. I just can't win.

At least it won't work just with these three days.

At least not by relying on him alone.

Lei Ye slowly got up from the ground, and a crazy idea was born in his mind like a morning erection.

Just these three days won't do.
Then we will have to rely on the infinity after these three days to find a solution.

It's not enough to rely on him alone.
Then call someone.

His save file is not fixed and will be rolled back anyway. He has plenty of time to play with these people. As long as he doesn't shout out Quick Save, Buyadi will never die and will stay in the gap in time waiting for his rescue.

"Are you finally giving up?" The whisper of the Holy Sword came from behind.

"No." Lei Ye didn't look at her and shook his head. "I want it."

-

[Line 1]: "I want to make some powerful potion that even the Demon King cannot resist."

[Line 2]: "I want to call Grady, who is closest to the Demon King's Castle."

[Line 3]: "I want to find a guy without jade feet and ask him if he can do me a favor."
