In Chu Yunqi's office

Chu Yunqi played with the Elf Stone in her hand and looked at Lin Changye who was sitting on the sofa and asked: Captain, what do you think the strength of the Demon Archduke is?

Lin Changye: ...If the Demon Archduke remains in human form, Luo Yuan can do it alone, but if it is his true form, it will be a bit troublesome.

Lin Changye put down the illustrated book in his hand and said to Chu Yunqi.

Chu Yunqi: And I have some bad news. According to the elves, this demon archduke is a "flaming demon".

Lin Changye: It’s actually the Balrog? This is interesting. This is a snowfield, and it is a snowfield that has been enhanced by the power of rules. A fire-attribute Balrog actually came here. Could it be that he came here to eat popsicles?

Chu Yunqi shrugged her shoulders and said: Who knows? But now it's troublesome. Neither Luo Yuan nor I are good at fighting this kind of guy with super high defense.

Lin Changye: Actually, it's not completely impossible. Luo Yuan and I brought a lot of explosives. As long as they are used properly, they should be blown to death. This is the theory.

Chu Yunqi: But this thing is alive. Now that Xiaoyan is gone, she can't tie up the enemy and beat him like before.

Lin Changye: Xiaoyan's chains are indeed very troublesome. Even I can't break free easily. But if you just want to restrain the enemy for a short period of time, there's nothing you can do, right?

As he spoke, Lin Changye looked out the window.

Chu Yunqi: Meow?

Lin Changye: You should be able to hear it, right? The war drum beaten by obsession is still deafening even from such a distance.

Chu Yunqi: ...Although you did say you allowed me to lift the restrictions, is this okay? If Xiaoyan is not here, I won't be able to deal with the aftermath.

Lin Changye: Anyway, you just need a group of obedient subordinates, right?

Chu Yunqi: Since Your Majesty said it’s okay, can I borrow something from you?

Lin Changye: What do you want?

Chu Yunqi: I just want Your Majesty’s sword, the Emperor’s Cavalry and the Lancer, but I can’t get it.

Lin Changye: ...Do you need to prove that this is the case? But is this enough?

As he spoke, Lin Changye put the Imperial Cavalry Spear and Sword on his waist on the table.

Chu Yunqi: That's enough, Your Majesty. Being able to see the sword of the King of Knights is already a great honor for them. For a group of wandering souls who have lost their names and forgotten their own glory, this is already the greatest recognition and praise. Your Majesty.

Lin Changye: It seems that you have been in contact with them.

Chu Yunqi: Of course. After all, how could I not notice a group of wandering spirits floating around outside my house? But do you really want me to take it with you after you use it?

Lin Changye: I believe it will be useful to you, but I didn’t expect that you would not use those spirits.

Chu Yunqi: I haven't gone that far, Your Majesty. I have no grudge against them and they were so tired when they were alive. I am embarrassed to let them kill my descendants.

Lin Changye: I remember that you should be able to make spirits ascend to heaven, right?

Chu Yunqi shook her head and said: No, my ability is only useful for unconscious spirits, but those wandering souls have not forgotten their mission even if they have forgotten who they are. The obsession of guarding the chain that seals the devil has long become The core of their existence, unless the Demon Lord is killed or they are killed, even I can't free them.

Lin Changye: It sounds like you are quite satisfied with those wandering souls.

Chu Yunqi: Your Majesty, you also know that I look directly at people’s souls. In my opinion, those wandering souls who only have obsessions are far more pleasing to the eye than those trash.

Lin Changye: Speaking of which, I have always been curious about what my soul looks like to you.

When Chu Yunqi heard Lin Changye's question, she opened her amber eyes and looked at him and said: ...It is a sword Your Majesty, an unyielding sword that was already full of cracks but still pointed firmly at the sky.

After hearing Chu Yunqi's words, Chu Yunqi looked at the shimmering amber eyes and nodded lightly.

Lin Changye: It seems that my soul has not yet decayed.

Chu Yunqi: ...In my opinion, Your Majesty, your soul has never been corrupted, but you just need a good whetstone to sharpen the sword body.

Lin Changye: Then I hope our Lady Saint can find a good whetstone for me.

Chu Yunqi: I hope so, Your Majesty. After all, she is the only person I can’t see clearly.

Lin Changye: I remember you said that what you saw was pure light, right?

Chu Yunqi: It was a light that shone far brighter than an angel made of light. To be honest, when I accidentally saw her on the street, I was still thinking that the sun had fallen.

Lin Changye: Did you meet her before joining the Heaven-Defying Sword?

Chu Yunqi: I met her by chance. After all, she is the center of attention no matter where she goes, and it was at night! I was planning to go to the night market, but a large ball of light suddenly appeared! I also want to say that the end of the world is finally over when the earth hits the sun.

Lin Changye: ...Although I don’t understand, thank you for your hard work, and give me a gram of the materials in Xiaoyu’s illustrated book.

While talking, Lin Changye looked at Feng Xiaoyu who was playing games in the corner of the sofa.

Feng Xiaoyu raised her head when she heard Lin Changye's order and said while typing blindly.

Feng Xiaoyu: All? This is a bit troublesome. Some materials may have to be mined by myself. In other words, it will cost extra money.

Lin Changye: How much?

Feng Xiaoyu: It’s hard to say whether I have it in stock or not. If not, I have to look for mineral veins, so I’ll wait until I have all the goods ready.

Lin Changye: Okay, by the way, what do you think of this game?

Feng Xiaoyu: Not bad. With the level of science and technology of this civilization, it is already astonishing to be able to achieve this level.

Lin Changye: Oh? How to say?

Feng Xiaoyu: Generally, in a world of this level, equipment with this kind of computing power are military supplies. As expected, the world you live in has very high technological capabilities.

Lin Changye: Oh, this is the rule set by the fifth and sixth family owners. After all, it is left alone anyway, so it is stipulated that as long as an upgraded version is produced, the old one can be used for business.

Feng Xiaoyu: Oh my, you are quite flexible in your thinking. I have seen a lot of brainiacs who were in trouble and didn’t know how to adapt and turned a perfect start into a hellish ending.

Lin Changye: No... It's just that the head of the family was a door-knocking guy. When she saw so many things in the warehouse and wouldn't let her use them, she felt guilty.

Feng Xiaoyu: Oh, then we might have a lot to talk about, but unfortunately the break is over.

As he said this, Feng Xiaoyu put away the game console and took out a pocket watch from his arms.

Lin Changye: Are you leaving?

Feng Xiaoyu: Yes, I still have things to do, and I haven’t prepared the gift for silly little star yet.

Lin Changye: ...If you see that girl, remember to tell her that she'd better find a way to please me.

Feng Xiaoyu: I know!

Feng Xiaoyu replied while opening the space door and preparing to leave, and then left.

Chu Yunqi asked curiously: ...So you are really angry?

Lin Changye rolled his eyes: How is that possible? I guess the girl herself didn't expect that things would turn out like this.

Chu Yunqi: But their luck is really good. If she hadn't been thrown into the small world by you immediately, they would definitely have no scum left.

Lin Changye: Yi Sheng must have thrown the forbidden curse directly, but that would be really troublesome. Speaking of which, what do you think the chances of that guy Luo Yuan leaving a whole body for others?

Chu Yunqi: Well~ I guess it’s not even one-tenth. That guy killed people this time and there was no way he would show mercy no matter how hard he thought.

But at this time in the Grand Duke's mansion
