Chapter 939: You are looking for help from the empire, why are you looking for me...
"No, you said that not only did you fail to take down the magic castle, but you also lost 99% of the empire's thousand type four steam soldiers to get in?" Lu Xingshi's eyes twitched.
His experiment was interrupted again, this time it was Cato who rushed over in a hurry. He didn't seem to have taken much rest on the road. He was obviously in a hurry.
"Yes, it's a monster called the Soul Demon by Count Edward..." Cato described it to Lu Xingshi.
I heard that Lu Xingshi was a little doubtful about life. Isn't this thing the same soul aggregate that came to seize him for the second time?
"Wait a minute, let me check again. Have you met a living person?" Lu Xingshi finally discovered something was wrong.
Logically speaking, they should not exist. These remnants of interstellar civilization will either be wiped out by the world or assimilated by the world. If you are an omnic, he can still understand that those things are just lumps of iron after all.
But when you say living creatures, you mean living creatures with souls. How could this thing survive?
Unless there is some kind of equipment that can resist the world around the interstellar battleships and cosmic fortresses, these remnants of interstellar civilization will definitely not survive.
Thinking about it again, Edward has already eliminated many people before, which means that this is really possible.
All I can say is that we cannot underestimate any civilization.
"It's alive, weird?" Cato was keenly aware of the problem.
"Of course it's strange. They are invaders from outside. They are rejected and squeezed by our world, so there is no way they can survive." Lu Xingshi briefly summarized.
"But these monsters really exist, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come to the Dragon Mountains to find you to deal with them." Cato still retorted to Lu Xingshi.
"I know, but I can't get away." Lu Xingshi spread his hands, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
He could finally see that the world was indeed rejecting his experiment, but because Lu Xingshi was not an interstellar remnant, and he still had enough status and strength, he couldn't do it directly.
Only then did he use various indirect effects to prevent him from having enough energy to conduct experiments.
The gods of the old era have no place in the new era.
Cato's heart sank, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
"If you don't go, no one can solve that magic castle. Once the monsters inside break through the seals arranged by the Dragon of Life and the Dragon of Death, even the empire will be affected." Cato tried to continue to advise: "If you are willing Help us solve it, and everything from Magic Castle can be given to you.”
It's definitely not enough to just use your mouth. You have to give Lu Xingshi substantial benefits.
"Well..." Lu Xingshi was indeed moved, but he understood that this thing was just a sugar-coated bomb.
If I go this time, there will definitely be a next time. Next time, I will continue to delay the progress of my experiment.
"I still can't go." Lu Xingshi still refused: "My affairs have reached a critical moment. Once I leave, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"But it's not without solutions."
Lu Xingshi said, taking out a few earth elves from the earth ring.
"I'll modify this thing, you can use it first."
Seeing the earth elf, Cato couldn't take his eyes away. He knew that this was a new extraordinary soldier created by Lu Xingshi that was similar to the magic mirror puppet.
"How to use it?" Cato asked.
"I'll make these earth elves more violent. You can let them out and let them beat you."
"If you really can't beat them, let them blow themselves up and see if they can die together."
"If it doesn't work together with them, you can paste them on the seal and hold them together for a while. It won't be too late when I finish it." Lu Xingshi said as he used the knife to transform the earth elves.
It seems that the earth elves have become stronger, but for Lu Xingshi, it actually has no effect.
The best use of the earth elf is to serve as a pendant and support for Lu Xingshi, rather than to actually use it to fight and kill, which would be such a waste.
It is an auxiliary unit in itself.
"Of course, if Edward is confident, he can also use it to hit the opponent." Lu Xingshi said very honestly.
Anyway, this thing is not a normal life form. At best, it can only be regarded as an elemental life plus artificial intelligence.
Facing Lu Xingshi's attitude, Cato had no good solution.
Lu Xingshi didn't want to, he couldn't force it, so it was good to be able to help.
"How long can it be delayed?" Cato asked.
"I don't know." Lu Xingshi's answer was even more sincere. Even the situation in the magic castle was dictated by Cato. He didn't know the specific situation at all, and how could he analyze how long the delay would be.
"But it's not like there's no way to delay it until I can deal with it." Lu Xingshi suddenly thought that he still had the technology to lock the timeline.
His request is not high, as long as he delays it for another month.
"Oh? What can I do? I'll help as much as I can!" Cato still wanted Lu Xingshi to leave.
"That's my secret weapon." Lu Xingshi certainly couldn't say it directly, but he didn't mind publicizing that he could restrain and lock time.
But others will be restless, wondering how to target him or plot against him.
He is not afraid of trouble, but he doesn't want to cause trouble either.
Seeing that Lu Xingshi didn't say anything, Cato didn't ask any more: "How long can you delay?" "A month, if it's more, I'm not sure." Lu Xingshi calculated the data and found that the success rate is not high, about 100%. About five of them.
The main reason is that it involves too much, and it is definitely not that easy, especially when it also involves the protagonist Edward and the layout of the world.
It's easy to say, but it's certainly unrealistic.
"In other words, you can complete your work within a month?" Cato immediately noticed the deeper meaning of Lu Xingshi.
"That's right, so let the earth elf support you for a while first." Lu Xingshi said, handing an earth elf that turned into a red temperature to Cato.
"Try it and see if it works well or not. If it doesn't work, I will continue to change it."
"In view of what you said before about the mental and soul-level attacks of the monster called the Soul Demon, I have strengthened my protection and counter-injury."
"The other party exerts one force on the earth spirit, and can return ten forces to it."
"Then when facing iron men and monsters, they are also extremely tough. After getting bigger, they roll over, and then..."
Lu Xingshi introduced the red-warm version of the earth elf eloquently. Cato's eyes widened when he heard it. When Lu Xingshi stopped talking, he asked: "How can I try?"
With his small arms and legs, if he tried such a big red light ball that looked like a monster, he might not be seeking death.
"I don't even know what the empire is thinking. Why doesn't it arrange some extraordinary power for you to protect yourself?" Lu Xingshi was very puzzled.
Extraordinary soldiers have great power, but senior leaders and commanders do not, which is very problematic.
He knew the situation of the Orei Empire and relied on cohesion.
Let’s just say this thing is imaginary, it is indeed imaginary.
But if the cohesion is really improved, it will be extremely powerful.
This is the current situation in the Orei Empire, and after joining the protagonist, many of the original shortcomings are also disappearing.
The simplest point is to be more united, especially after the threat of the interstellar remnant emerged, the original internal fighting is easing, and the factions are beginning to fade.
Lu Xingshi didn't believe it without the intervention of the protagonist's halo and the world.
As for the other empires, Lu Xingshi was not very clear about them, and he did not pay too much attention to them.
"I know a little bit. It seems to be related to the origin of the steam engine, a witchcraft." Cato said.
When Lu Xingshi heard this, he found it interesting.
"Can you tell me?" Lu Xingshi asked directly.
Cato shook his head: "I don't know the origin of the steam engine, but it is said that it was made by the founding monarch of the Orei Empire, but it was later sealed."
Hearing this, Lu Xingshi felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
It can't be some kind of special witchcraft formed by some interstellar civilized human beings who have not been fully assimilated, combining extraordinary and steam engines.
"And it seems to involve evil gods, which I'm very confused about."
"But gods have become a thing of the past, let alone evil gods."
"So the higher-ups are prohibited from becoming steam soldiers," Cato continued.
This made Lu Xingshi look weird.
He really wanted to know what the world was like. Even if there was interstellar civilization, there was still such a thing as an evil god.
The gods in this world should all be righteous gods...
Ignoring the issue of the evil god for the time being, Lu Xingshi quickly took care of the red-temperature version of the earth elf.
"Then how can I give orders to the earth elf? It doesn't seem to listen to me very much, and it's not as smart as the mirror puppet?" Cato looked at the stupid earth elf and hesitated.
"I hand over the authority to you."
"As for looking stupid...this is true. After all, the magic mirror puppet formed in the Seven Deadly Sins Secret Realm is smart. That's because the magic mirror is smart."
"The function of my earth circle does not cover the intelligent part, so the earth elves are a little stupid."
"But being stupid also has its advantages. If you let it rush, it won't hesitate at all."
"Extraordinary soldiers are different because of different magic weapons, so each has its own characteristics. You can't ask the earth elves and the magic mirror puppet to be on the same level." Lu Xingshi is not making another magic mirror puppet.
"Okay, I'll try it first. If it works, I'll take it back and carry it for a month." Cato said, leading a circle of earth elves out.
"By the way, don't let them all blow up or stick to the wall. If anything happens, you can come to me on one of them. It's much faster than riding on your own." Lu Xingshi warned.
"Don't worry, I know what I know." Cato felt that Lu Xingshi was really evil. He blew himself up and walled up the wall, but he also let people use him as a mount. Unfortunately, he didn't look like a human being, he was just a floating ball of light.
But I have to say that the quality of the extraordinary soldiers produced is indeed good, whether it is the original Moonlight Werewolf or the later Magic Mirror Puppet, or the Earth Elf.
But this time, Lu Xingshi is unlikely to give this extraordinary soldier, the earth elf, to the empire.
From top to bottom, it was obviously prepared for something of his own.
