After Qingkong used secret techniques to strengthen the Sheriff and Dark Night, he sent them out to steal things.

As the capital of the Golden Shield Empire, Saint Lun City has a very long history. Time is the best medium for creating mysterious props. The older something is, the easier it is to become a prop with powerful mysterious energy.

Moreover, most owners of mysterious items do not know the value of the items in their hands. It was the players who swept through the area one after another that compiled the "Guide to the Most Valuable Mysterious Items in Saint Lun City". Therefore, for Qingkong, this trip to the imperial capital was like entering a treasure house.

The strength of the main body should also be systematically improved.

Qingkong recalled the feeling when he released the Glittering Gold Spell when the Book of Disaster went berserk, and felt that he should seriously plan his own strength.

One of Luke's goals in going to the lower city was to use the mysterious energy in the sewage reservoir to make a mysterious substance mixture. It was the only fifth-generation mysterious substance mixture recognized by players, named "Aria of the Song of the Burning Clouds".

After injecting this mysterious mixture of substances, one can gain perfect affinity with the element of fire, and releasing fire magic is as gorgeous as composing music by burning clouds in the sky with fire.

Now, Luke's body is very compatible with fire and thunder because of the influence of Taotie and the Thunder Boy, and thunder can stimulate a complementary amplification effect with fire. Therefore, it is best for Luke's body to follow these two attributes and perfect the thunder and fire specialization.

"Aria of Fire and Clouds" is a must-have.

However, the production process of this potion is very complicated, and obtaining some rare mysterious energy requires a lot of luck, which is not as common as the materials of the first generation of mysterious substance mixtures.

The purpose of controlling the sewage reservoir is to ensure that when the required rare and mysterious energy appears, it can be collected and obtained in the first place.

Moreover, "Aria of Fire Cloud Tide Song" cannot be injected directly, and four doses of different mysterious substance mixtures are required to gradually enhance the body's affinity for the fire element. Only when it reaches the best state can the effectiveness of "Aria of Fire Cloud Tide Song" be fully exerted.

The acquisition of "Aria of the Song of Fire Clouds" was a good start. As long as the sewage reservoir was taken, the rest was just a matter of time.

What Qingkong is considering now is further strengthening his physical condition.

The troll bloodline has been with Luke for so long and has fulfilled its responsibility. Luke's physical strength is now ready for another upgrade.

The first thing to consider is which bloodline is stronger.

The new bloodline must have the continuity of the characteristics of the troll bloodline. If you add an elf bloodline to the main body, you will only get a strange beast in the end. Make the best use of the strengths of the bloodline, and the shortcomings of the bloodline can be made up by strengthening other aspects.

Just like planting a tree, if you let the trunk grow straight up, the tree will grow taller and bigger and have more space to branch out. If the trunk grows crooked, the more branches and leaves there are, the easier it is to break itself.

Therefore, the power system of the Anno game is very complicated, and it is almost difficult to find the same player character in the later stages. When Luke was training Clear Sky, he didn't know how many times he reset the character and trained it again, and finally he trained a satisfactory Clear Sky.

Luke now has no chance to start from scratch and start over, so while Qingkong was studying at Oulu College, he had been preparing for his future improvement.

The troll bloodline is going in the direction of the dragon bloodline, which is a general direction of advancement. But if you inherit the dragon bloodline directly, the jump is too big, and your body will definitely become a dragon forever. With horns on your head, a tail behind you, and a body covered with scales, you look more like a lizardman than a dragonman.

Luke has too many funny videos on his phone about random bloodline inheritance.

The Lava Stone Demon is a supernatural creature that lives in the center of an active volcano. It has extremely strong physical strength and recovery ability, as well as excellent fire attribute spell attack ability. It is a supernatural creature with strong combat power.

Killing the Lava Stone Demon will give you a Lava Demon Heart. This thing can provide a long-lasting, stable and sufficient heat energy for the steam engine, which is the best energy source for some precision steam engines.

Some people would make the lava magic heart into a heat source for heating the room. Using this thing to keep warm in winter is safer than burning charcoal fire, and it can also better show one's status and wealth.

In order to perform the lava troll bloodline inheritance ceremony for Luke, Qingkong needs a special lava magic heart as the subject of the secret technique. Fortunately, this lava magic heart is in the capital of the Golden Shield Empire, but unfortunately, its owner is the second prince of the empire.

No matter how powerful the Sheriff and Dark Night are, they can't steal the Lava Demon Heart silently... They can't move it either.

This requires us to think of other solutions.

Qingkong was sorting out materials and tools in the laboratory. At this time, someone knocked on the door, and Bruce Ban's voice sounded outside: "Professor Qingkong, a special guest is visiting, and he hopes to meet you."

"What's your name? What's your origin?" Qingkong did not stop the work at hand, nor did he open the door.

Bruce Ban replied: "The other party didn't say it, but Jared Knight drove all visitors out of the museum, and the students and faculty were restricted to the upper floors and were not allowed to go down."

Qingkong's hand stopped in the air and asked, "What does he look like?"

"He is a very dignified old man, possibly a noble..."

Before Bruce Ban finished speaking, the door suddenly opened. Qingkong walked out thoughtfully, muttering, "What is he doing here?"

Bruce Ban asked: "Professor Qingkong, do you know this guest?"

Qingkong heard a sound from the other end of the corridor. Dai'er was hiding in the corner and looking over here quietly.

"We don't know each other yet!" Qingkong said to Bruce Ban, "Go tell the guest that I just finished an experiment and need to go back to my room to change into decent clothes.

Tell Jennifer to keep an eye on the students and keep them in the school's activity area. No one is allowed to go downstairs! No one is allowed to do anything dangerous!"

"Yes, Professor Clear Sky."

Bruce Ban left and Qingkong returned to his room. Before the door was closed, Dale came in.

"I was so scared that I almost hit Uncle Milscombe, but luckily I ran fast."

Dai'er lay down by the door and looked out carefully. When she saw that there was no one outside, she slammed the door shut, looking like a frightened deer.

Qingkong took out a set of clothes of a magic professor of Oulu College from the closet and asked Dale, "Milescom? The chief knight of the royal family, the leader of His Majesty's personal guards?"

"It was him. When I saw him come in, I knew that my father had arrived. Maybe he knew I was here and wanted to take me back."

"If we want to take you back, there's no need for His Majesty to come in person." Qingkong wanted to take off the dirty professor on his body, but when he saw Dai'er looking at him, he said, "What are you doing here?"

Dai Er stared at Qing Kong intently: "My classmates all say that you have a good figure. I want to see how good it is."

Qingkong's face darkened.

"Get out, or I'll hand you over to Milscombe right now."

"No, I'm leaving now."

Seeing that she couldn't see him, Dai'er just opened the door, looked around to see if there was anyone outside, and then ran out quickly.

Qingkong closed the door with a sweep of his hand.

I was worried, so I added another layer of seal.

Leaving Dai'er here is like a rat dropping in a pot of good soup. The students who were originally very well-behaved are now becoming more and more naughty under her guidance.

How dare you discuss the professor's figure behind his back? Is the professor's figure for you to see?

But what did Augustine want to do by coming here in disguise at this time?

The first floor of the museum was empty, and all the visitors were driven out. Jared and the Royal Knights stood solemnly around, their eyes fixed on the old man walking in the middle.

Augustine was walking between the booths in casual clothes, stopping from time to time to carefully examine the cultural relics in the glass cases. Following closely behind him was a middle-aged man with a tall and straight figure like a pine tree.

"Milscomb, the collections here are more numerous and more precious than I thought. I haven't been here for so many years, and it has become such a profound museum."

Chief Knight Milscombe replied respectfully in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the last time you came to this museum, Princess Agatha was just born."

"Oh? Has it been so many years?" Augustine couldn't help but exclaimed: "Time flies! It seems like more than 20 years have passed since I saw it happen right before my eyes."

“Good memories are more likely to be remembered.”

"Yes! Those were all wonderful memories. I seemed to have endless energy. While handling state affairs, I could also study cultural relics, write poetry, paint, and sculpt...

Agatha's love for sculpture was influenced by me.

It’s just that the children are getting older, and I’m getting more and more worried. They all make me worry, even the most well-behaved Dai’er…”

Milscombe said, "Your Majesty, Princess Dale will return safely. I am her swordsmanship teacher. She is very smart and clever."

"I hope so... I need her so badly right now."

Milscom said: "Your Majesty, I have also heard some rumors about the meteorite and the princess. It is obvious that someone spread it deliberately. Your Majesty, please treat it with caution."

"Intentionally spread news may not necessarily be false..."

Augustine didn't continue speaking because Qingkong just came down from upstairs.

The short green hair half covered the sharp elf ears, and the green eyes showed the indifference to the equality of all things in the world. Every step brought out an invisible pressure, and there was the sound of ice cracking underfoot.

Milscom held the sword on his waist and stood in front of Augustine, saying to Qingkong: "Please restrain your magic power, this is from the empire..."

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Empire." Qingkong saluted to Emperor Augustine the Great, stood up and asked, "Thank you for the museum you donated to me. I like it very much. Your visit was beyond my expectations, but the way you visited made me a little unhappy."

Augusta extended his hand and asked Milscom to stand aside. He smiled and said, "My people were not considerate enough. Since this museum is given to you, you are the owner here. Our people drove all the guests out without permission and blocked this place, which is disrespectful to the owner.

I apologize.”

At this time, Augustine no longer had the edge he had in the court. He used honorifics to Qingkong and even hunched his head slightly to express his apologies.

Just like a wise ruler who is eager for talent and respects wise and virtuous people.

Qingkong also took back his magic power. Augustine was in poor health, if he got frozen here, he could just run away overnight.

"I accept your apology. Your Majesty, you came to my place in disguise this time, I think it is not to see these collections. There is a drinking room next to it. Let's talk there."

Augustine was tired after walking for so long. He followed Qingkong to the drinking room and glanced at Milscombe secretly.

Milscom shook his head slightly, indicating that he couldn't see Qingkong's strength.

One of Augustine's purposes for coming here was to see if Qingkong was as strong as the legend said. A lot of information about Qingkong came from Nutao City, exaggerating Qingkong's strength.

But her strength...do I need to be wary of her?

When they first met, Augustine didn't get an answer.

Coming to the drinking room in the corner, Qingkong poured a cup of tea for Augustine and then they sat opposite each other.

Augustine did not touch his teacup.

Qingkong knew that as an emperor he would not eat and drink outside casually, so he did not take it seriously. Pouring tea was just a courtesy.

"What do you wish to discuss, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Augustine smiled and said, “You must have guessed that I came here to talk about Agatha, but no!

Elves are a very long-lived race, while humans are short-lived among the known intelligent races in the world. There are many things they haven't experienced and they will die with regrets.

My age now makes me often think about life and its meaning, but no one is qualified to give me the answer.

You are a scholar, and I heard that you are traveling around the world. As an elf, you should be able to tell me some things about life that I cannot understand. "

Augustine's question was a very difficult question for Qingkong to answer. After all, the combined age of her and Luke was not as old as Augustine alone, so how could she be qualified to answer such a philosophical question?

But as a philosophical question, it seems easy to answer.

"Your Majesty, you only see that the elves are a long-lived race compared to humans. But in this world, there are many races that are longer-lived than the elves.

For example, dragons can calculate the duration of a sleep session in years; there are some species that don’t even know what it’s like to die of old age.

But take a look at where do dragons live? Where do elves live? And where do you humans live?

I traveled around the world, and one thing that all races agree on is that humans are opening a new era after the passing of ancient civilization. I have also been looking for the answer to a question: why can humans live such a short life so brilliantly?

Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to answer your question. Because the answer to the question lies with you, with the entire human race that created the new world."

Qingkong's answer left Augustine silent.

Even Milscombe, who was standing a little further away, was lost in thought.
