On the fifth day after returning to Ginkgo's courtyard, Li Lingyou, whom Wei Ling was looking forward to, came to visit.
Li Lingyou's expression was very complicated. He stared at Wei Ling and didn't send any message for a long time.
"What's wrong, Brother Li, could it be that your noble family just refused?
In fact, there is no need to find it difficult to say it, I am mentally prepared. After all, the bodies of ghosts and gods are too precious. I am a humble person and have nothing to repay to the noble family..."
Wei Ling comforted Li Lingyou.
"No, Brother Wei Ling, that's not the case. There is a reply in the valve. It's really miraculous. The only high-end intelligent body in the valve is really a ghost. However, the conditions are a bit harsh."
Li Lingyou looked a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter, you might as well come and listen!"
Welling was actually a little happy.
It would be abnormal for such a precious intelligent body to be handed over to a stranger without strict conditions.
"This...these requests must be made together with the guard. This is also the request of the clan."
Li Lingyou felt a little uneasy.
If Welling knew that he was carrying private goods in the future, would he kill himself?
"Yeah, I understand. It's the guardian who wants to change the intelligent body, not me. The parties involved need to discuss it together. That's the basic requirement!"
Wei Ling kept nodding, very happy.
Not only did he not feel there was anything wrong with Li Lingyou's statement, on the contrary, he felt that it was a sign of Li Clan's integrity and that he did not pervert himself.
"Brother Li, when do you think it would be more convenient for us to discuss with the guardian?"
Looking at Wei Ling's expectant eyes, Li Lingyou felt a little complicated inside. He was both happy and worried about gains and losses.
In fact, this mood was also the expression on Uncle Su Zi's face when he was informed of the result.
At that time, Su Zi looked very happy when he saw Li Lingyou's expression. At the same time, he also had many complex emotions such as disbelief, worry, and worry:
"Shizuro, for you to have made progress so quickly, the images from the Valve Master show that he is very happy but also very uneasy.
As of the establishment of the Li clan, there is only one ghost-level intelligence in the clan, and its preciousness cannot be overestimated...
The valve owner has made it clear that this ghost body, please decide for yourself, whether to turn it into a handle between collaborators or a bond between friends, please refer to the overall mission to decide!
If the mission fails and such a precious intelligence is involved, you should be able to guess the consequences. "
After thinking about Su Zi's expression and the Valve Master's request again, Li Lingyou clenched his right hand tightly behind his back and made up his mind:
"Brother Wei Ling, you can do it at any time. To tell you the truth, the intelligent body is already in the room where I live. Once we can negotiate, it can be replaced at any time for the girl guarding the palace."
"Very good! Regardless of success or failure, Wei Ling will always remember Brother Li's love!"
Wei Ling solemnly bowed and clasped his fists in salute to Li Lingyou.
Then he connected to the system barrier and applied to see Mr. Yu Jin, the captain of Yaxi County.
I quickly received a reply from the system. Mr. Yu Jin happened to be at the official office and had time to see Wei Ling.
The two looked at each other and smiled, heading towards the county office.
…
Yu Jin's expression looked a little incredible.
He didn't know why Wei Ling was so close to Li Lingyou, and he didn't understand why Li Clan would use his precious intelligence on a girl with little background and value like Shou Gong.
Another point is that Master Yujin’s default intelligence must be the Bailian body. If he knew it was a ghost body, he would probably be even more surprised.
However, he was extremely pleased that Shou Gong had the opportunity to replace his smart body so quickly. He sincerely hoped that Wei Ling, Li Lingyou and Shou Gong could reach an agreement to successfully replace Shou Gong's smart body and start a new life.
After all, although Shou Gong's father said that he had done something wrong back then, he could not hide that he was still his subordinate. He was also quite uneasy about his subordinate's daughter being trapped in a supply platform for many years.
As a result, Master Yujin looked at Wei Ling with an even softer look:
"Wei Ling, regardless of whether this matter can be negotiated or not, I would like to thank you for taking care of the palace guard.
According to the laws of the empire, if this matter is negotiated, Shou Gong will be a free person. After all, she has served the empire for so many years, and her service period has already been extremely long.
I have always felt the same way about her condition. Thank you for everything you have done! "
Wei Ling bowed and saluted, and then received the access key to the weapons depot and the location of the guard palace from Yu Jin.
Li Lingyou also gave Yu Jin the same courtesy. After all, Yu Jin's information packet loss was shared by three people. At the same time, he also received Yu Jin's gratitude.
…
After passing through dark metal passages one after another, and through layers of complex scanning detection and authority authentication, Wei Ling and Li Lingyou walked underground little by little, entering the grand and lonely weapons warehouse of Yaxi County.
The arsenal is actually the space between the ground and the second floor. It looks cold and dark. The vast underground space is entirely made of metal. Countless aerial rails, pipes, and cable corridors are intricate and cover the entire sight.
The smooth metal floor reflects a cold shimmer. A large number of various types of smart devices are moving silently. Some are repairing equipment, some are transporting accessories, some are loading spare parts, and some are replenishing supplies. They are busy and busy. confusion.
The arsenal was empty. Guided by the coordinates, the two found the parking spot of the "Mountain Ghost" supply platform.
A whole row of "Mountain Ghost" platforms were lined up quietly, with various cables connecting them to the entire arsenal.
Most of the platforms are obviously in a dormant state, and the round compound eyes have no luster.
While Wei Ling was still deciding which one was the guardian, a childish voice sounded in his mind:
"Captain, why did you get to the arsenal?!"
Looking sideways, the compound eyes of a dormant "Mountain Ghost" platform lit up, and the machine slowly rose a little higher.
"Ah, it's the palace guard. Let's come over to discuss something with you."
Wei Ling smiled and pointed at Li Lingyou:
"Shou Gong, let me introduce to you. This warlock is a descendant of the Li clan of the empire. His name is Li Lingyou. He also serves in Yaxi County. He is one of the warlock ability guides assigned by the county warden to me and my three children. .”
"Hello, Brother Li! Thank you for your guidance to Brother Wei Ling and the three children. I heard Wantong talk about Nanxing, Shangwei and Jinu."
The eight compound eyes of the guard turned to Li Lingyou, and his body sank slightly, as if saluting.
"Haha, you're welcome. Brother Wei Ling and I are good friends. We confirm each other's experiences as warlocks. That's the basic act of supporting friends. There's no need to thank me.
By the way, Shou Gong, Brother Wei Ling and I specially applied to the arsenal to discuss something with you, which is related to your vital interests. "
"Oh? Is it related to me? Brother Wei Ling and Brother Li please make it clear."
"Shou Gong, Brother Li and Wan Tong have told me about your father's affairs and your situation. We have always hoped to help you replace the carrier by accumulating merit points. Now the situation has changed a bit. Shou Gong, Do you know about intelligence?"
Welling asked cautiously.
"Intelligent bodies, I know a little bit about them. I only know that they are higher-end consciousness carriers than various intelligent platforms. It is said that even the most advanced legion-level "Dragon Elephant" supply system and the empire-level "Kuafu" supply system cannot truly resemble Like an intelligent agent, it carries the sum of human thoughts and experiences..."
"Well, yes, you are right. Brother Li knows more about intelligence. Let him tell you about the empire's intelligence."
"Okay, thank you Brother Wei Ling. Brother Li, please speak!"
Li Lingyou nodded and threw out the empire's current intelligence level information and the special features of different levels of intelligence.
At the same time, he also informed the palace guard that currently almost no civilians or people from poor families have obtained intelligent bodies by accumulating merit points.
After receiving the message, the gecko paused for a moment without any movement. Then his round eyes seemed to lose their luster:
"Yes, thank you Brother Wei Ling for your kindness and Brother Li for sharing the information... To be honest, I have always held a wish before this, hoping that one day I can live like a human again... It seems that this wish is mostly It’s delusional…”
"No, girl guarding the palace, if you really follow the constraints of real conditions, you really have no chance to obtain an intelligent body, because it requires huge merits and contributions, as well as powerful intervention and chance... But now, the situation has arisen There was an opportunity, so we came to discuss it with you."
The guard's compound eyes suddenly lit up, and his body rose slightly:
"What's the turning point?!"
"It's like this. Since I learned about the girl's situation through Brother Welling and Brother Welling's request, I have consulted the valve to see if there is a suitable intelligence and the required conditions."
Li Lingyou explained slowly.
“Then it must be there, otherwise you wouldn’t come over to discuss it with me.
Well, it must be a Bailian body, and the gender is probably wrong.
But for an intelligent body, how can I be picky about the gender of appearance..."
The guard's mood was obviously a little anxious.
"No, the information in the valve shows that the gender of this intelligent body happens to be that of a young woman!"
"Wow, that's great! Is it a Bailian body?"
If it were a beautiful girl image, the geckos would probably jump up and clap their hands happily.
"Oh, it's not Bai Lian Xun."
"Ah...it's not Bailianxun, but it doesn't matter if it's almost, as long as it's not one of those functional platforms..."
"Ah, no, I mean it's better than the Hundred Refined Body..."
"Ah! That's great, it's a glass body... Oh my God, how can I have such good luck?! It's still a glass body that looks like a young woman... Brother Wei Ling, I almost fainted from nervousness!"
The gecko’s eight round eyes shine brightly.
Welling laughed and inserted the message:
"Brother Li, just throw the information to the guard at once. Look how nervous she is..."
Li Lingyou put away his smile and looked serious:
"Haha, the girl guarding the palace is not a Liuli body, but a ghost body!"
The guard's body trembled, and then suddenly froze. In the voice message sent over, the voice became calmer:
"Ghost body! The empire's top intelligent body, second only to the legendary Tianji body that even the imperial family may not have...
I can't believe that such good luck has come from heaven. What kind of price will Brother Welling and I have to pay for this? "
Welling also became serious.
Yes, Shou Gong asked a question that he himself urgently needed to know.
"That's a good question!"
Li Ling Youxin shook his magician robe with his hand and said solemnly:
“Let’s just talk about the cost.
What do you think Li Clan lacks? Let's talk about the political circles of the imperial capital first. Since the establishment of the Li clan, there have been a large number of children from the clan or side branches serving from the empire's center of power to middle-level and lower-level officials. Therefore, the Li clan has no shortage of core power.
At the local level, there are descendants of the Li clan serving the empire in different positions in hundreds of counties. Therefore, the Li clan has no shortage of local grassroots power.
In the army, in all the major legions, there are sons from the clan serving the empire, and the Li clan also has military merit.
Every year, the disciples of the clan die due to various reasons, but so far no one is qualified to use this ghost body.
Of course, beforehand, I didn’t know when there was such a high-end intelligent body in the valve.
Therefore, in every sense, the Li clan is no less powerful, meritorious, and financially resourceful. The value of any individual cannot be compared with that of this ghost and god. "
Wei Ling nodded, and the guards shook their bodies slightly in approval.
“So, we cannot look at this issue purely in terms of cost.
Then why did Li Clan take out this once-in-a-lifetime intelligence for the palace guard girl instead of waiting for the opportunity to sell it at a price? "
Gecko insert information:
"Yeah, yeah, I...I'm not worth it at all."
Li Lingyou smiled and shook his head:
"Girl guarding the palace is indeed not possible now, but brother Wei Ling is!"
Wei Ling was also a little stunned:
"I, I'm just an ordinary low-level warlock, and I also have amnesia. I don't even know which family I belong to."
Li Lingyou smiled bitterly:
"No, Brother Wei Ling, you don't know that when I asked for help from the center, when Uncle Su Zi heard that you wanted a ghost body, his first reaction was that I was crazy!"
