At this time, we are in the M66 galaxy, which is an unknown number of light-years away from the Great Buddhist Temple, which is the Star Sea Empire that the young magician Maggie said.
On a planet about the same size as the Earth.
A middle-aged man with an imposing appearance was standing in front of the balcony of his extremely luxurious palace, quietly watching the scene in front of him.
Behind the palace is a vast expanse of rice fields. It is the harvest season, and farmers are busy harvesting the harvest after a busy year.
"If you don't know, you will definitely think that I am the employer of these people, right? Haha... David, don't you think so?"
David is a butler-type robot, model number de-097. Robots with models starting with D like him are general-purpose robots that can be bought as long as you have money.
In addition to having many faults and being prone to errors, this kind of robot is still the worst.
"Your Majesty, you are wrong. As long as the empire exists for one day, you are already the supreme ruler of the empire. You may no longer be able to control the parliament and have no real power, but in the hearts of the people, you are still the king of the Star Sea Empire."
"Haha, you guy, if you don't know how to compliment others, don't say it. What does it mean to be a king without real power? If I didn't know you very well, I would have thought you were mocking me."
"Your Majesty, you know that David does not have that kind of module. What you said is a myth."
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to use idioms."
"Your Majesty is aware that David used an idiom just seventeen hours and nineteen minutes ago."
The middle-aged man was silent for a while and sighed.
And this action seemed to make him look much older all of a sudden, which made him think of many things.
"Yes, you have obviously used it, but I don't remember it. Do you know why?"
"Your Majesty, do you want to say that your biological age has entered your twilight years, which will inevitably lead to necrosis of the cells responsible for memory storage, ranging from memory loss to Alzheimer's disease..."
This could have been considered a disrespectful remark, but if the rulers of the Star Sea Empire had heard it, they would have pulled de-097 out and destroyed it directly.
But the man didn't do that. It wasn't that he had a particularly good temper, and he wouldn't be as depressed as he is now.
But he clearly knows that with his current authority and financial resources, it is really not enough to waste extra money to buy a similar robot.
And David had been following him for a long time. He knew clearly that the other party had no ill intentions and was just using the most direct way to express his attitude, nothing more.
Strictly speaking, the man had nothing else to do at this time except talking to the robot David and looking at the beautiful scenery outside.
It's not that he has nothing to do because of his noble status, it's that he can only do this.
And even this kind of life, which is no different from that of a prisoner, will disappear in a few days.
For that was the day when the Declaration of Parliament was about to declare the dissolution of the Empire.
From that day on, he, the last monarch of the Star Sea Empire, would completely become an ordinary person.
Maybe you will be like those who harvest crops in the fields, sweating and sweating to create your own wealth.
When he thought of this possibility, the huge gap in his heart made the man shudder. He even shivered for several nights and couldn't sleep for a long time.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cast his gaze to the distant sky, and there was a trace of hope in his eyes that was hard to detect.
Maybe my only hope is there.
...
"So what you just told me about your family's disappearance was a lie to me?"
After listening to Maggie's story, Li Yi couldn't help frowning and subconsciously raised a hand.
As soon as he saw this action, mechanic Mado's expression changed drastically, and he jumped up, about to put on the mecha again.
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I didn't lie to you. It is true that the people sitting in that position are also members of my family. However, he is just my uncle. My father and mother have long been with the current Xinghai royal family. It doesn’t matter anymore.”
"Okay, I don't want to discuss these things with you, just tell me directly, is there any way you can control Sophie? I don't want to know anything else, and I don't care."
Li Yi interrupted Maggie's words with a wave of his hand, obviously unhappy in his heart.
An empire as big as the galaxy is still a royal family. From what she said, this is still an empire in the sunset. It sounds very troublesome, so he decisively chose to skip it.
This kind of thing has nothing to do with him in the first place, although he doesn't know why the other party wants to tell him this.
But, it has nothing to do with me.
The reason why he tolerated the other party saying so much was entirely because the other party knew the identity of the woman in red, thinking that he might be able to use this to gain insight into the weakness of the woman in red.
According to Li Yi's idea, the reason why he entered this dungeon world was entirely because of that damn woman. As long as he found a way to kill her, he should be able to get out even if he didn't have to complete any ghost tasks!
After this period of dungeon experience, he finally figured it out.
The complexity of this damn copy was simply unimaginable to him!
Some things that are easy to do in other dungeons are extremely difficult in this dungeon, although so far I have not encountered any unsolvable difficulties.
But it will gradually develop from some seemingly inconspicuous things and become extremely complicated and cumbersome.
The only direct way he could think of now was to kill the woman directly.
The reason why he didn't take action before was because he was not sure, and because he subconsciously wanted to complete the task.
But the longer he was trapped in this copy, the more he felt something was wrong.
How the hell is this a copy of the main plot mission? Just the branch plots derived from the main plot, as well as the branch plots within the branch plots, and the various branch plots are enough for him.
He had never thought about this in the past, but fortunately it was not too late to think about it now.
"Listen to what you said, do you want to kill her?"
Maggie understood Li Yi's intention and couldn't help but frowned. It was a little different from what she imagined.
According to her plan, she wanted to capture Sophie first and then take her back to achieve her goal. However, it seemed that the other party just wanted to kill Sophie, which was completely inconsistent with her purpose.
"No, we have to take her back. After the results are obtained, it has nothing to do with me what you want to do to her."
Li Yi sneered when he heard this.
The only way I can have a chance to go out is by killing her. Are you telling me to take her away? You're teasing me!
"No, she must die, otherwise I can't get out."
There was another sentence that he didn't say, and he was too embarrassed to say it.
That is, this copy is too complicated. If nothing else, the civil strife in a capital city is complicated enough. Moreover, he has also heard that in addition to several major families in the capital, it seems that robots will also take action. Although I don’t know exactly what it is yet, but it’s definitely not going to be good.
Mud, it’s really a mess, this stupid copy will not come back even if I beat it to death!
I don't know why, Li Yi felt a surge of anxiety and boredom in his heart for no reason, which caused him to have only one thought in his mind.
Kill that woman!
This kind of extreme emotion is like a person who has been wronged but has nowhere to appeal. He has all his anger in his heart and cannot express it. When this aggrieved thing is heard again, the fire in his heart suddenly goes away. The child was lit.
In this state, it is easy for people to lose their rationality, because their rationality has been completely controlled by the emotions above.
In the past, this would never have happened to Li Yi.
Because he considers himself to be a very calm person. Although he still has mood swings occasionally, he will not be swayed by his emotions.
At most, it’s just holding an umbrella for others.
After all, no one who has ever been exposed to the rain will watch others remain indifferent when they are exposed to the rain.
But the occurrence of this situation is obviously abnormal.
Fortunately, this time, Maggie noticed his abnormality.
