Royal Alchemist

Two messages popped up on the man's screen at the same time, one was Qiu Ye and the other was Feng Qi. As soon as the man saw these two people, he immediately lowered his legs and put his face close to the screen.

The man rubbed his eyes: "Why are you? Damn it, this time I'm losing money!"

Feng Qi smiled, it was a gentle smile that was rarely shown in front of outsiders: "Long time no see."

Qiu Ye looked at the man on the screen, then at the ugly and ugly ship, and remembered that on a cold planet many years ago, a young man with a prickly hair in a lace apron said coldly: "Stay in the hotel!" 400 a day, you have to pay extra for breakfast, and you have to go downstairs to eat, not delivered to your door.”

After so many years, the boy has grown into a man, and his aesthetics are still terrible.

"Luo Wendao! Your boat is so ugly!" Qiu Ye exposed it mercilessly.

Luo Wendao raised his thick black eyebrows: "I just saved your life! How dare you say my great Wild Wolf is ugly!"

"Is there a logical relationship between the two? By the way, the name Wolf is also stupid! And your boots, did you step on shit?"

"Is that how you treat your savior!"

A ferocious wolf's head is printed on the side of the bow, cold and aloof under the cold light of the universe.

Lu Ting walked to Feng Qi's side and said softly, "It's the Wild Wolf, a pirate nearby. Do you know this pirate leader? He is quite famous. Last year, the Legion of Faith tried to recruit him, but it failed."

"Really?" Feng Qi laughed, "Obviously Theodore is not suitable for recruitment."

On the screen, Luo Wendao was still talking to Qiu Ye: "I thought I caught a big fat fish and wanted to extort a sum of money, but I didn't expect it to be you! You say I am grateful, and you use me quickly!" Give me the fuel money you dropped!"

"Hmph, the person who can take the money from me has not yet been born!" Qiu Ye sneered.

Luo Wendao picked his nose at Qiuye, and turned his gaze to Fengqi.

Qiu Ye was full of complaints, and the relationship became hot all of a sudden. Feng Qi was not like Qiu Ye, his emotions and anger were invisible, which made people unpredictable.The atmosphere was slightly delicate. Luo Wendao had a brief experience many years ago that was unforgettable, but did the other party remember it as well as himself?He's not sure.What's more, he is a young and promising major general of the empire, and he is a pirate who roams around the chaotic star field. Although he is also very prestigious, the gap is a bit big no matter how you look at it.

Feng Qi smiled faintly, his blue eyes were as clear as the sea: "Will you invite me over for a cup of tea?"

Luo Wendao laughed immediately, all worries disappeared.

Feng Qi took Qiu Ye aboard the Wild Wolf, and Luo Wendao greeted him personally.

The interior of the cabin is very ordinary, not as cool as the exterior, it can be clearly seen that it was remodeled from a civilian ship, but those messy cannons are really frightening to see, making people worry that it will explode due to overheating at any time.

Luo Wendao looked at Feng Qi and the others with a guilty conscience: "Hey, you two won't betray me, will you? I don't want to be arrested!"

Feng Qi looked sideways: "Is it useful to betray you? Next time you will definitely not appear in this star field again. The Three Caves of the Rabbit are talking about you, right?"

Luo Wendao smiled and pointed at Feng Qi, with an expression of "you really understand me".

The three of them sat down, and Luo Wendao asked someone to serve tea. The tea was new, and he didn't know where he got it from.

Luo Wendao looked at the imposing Feng Qi, turned his eyes around the general star on his shoulder, and couldn't help sighing: "Excellent, major general, I have been hearing your name all these years, and I always call you It’s a new generation of God of War. I really didn’t expect that I could still have an affair with the Imperial General.”

Qiu Ye's eyeballs popped out: "Why do you have legs! Can you talk!"

"A slip of the tongue! It's friendship!"

"It's terrible to have no culture!"

Feng Qi smiled, his thoughts went back to his previous life.

At that time, they were both 20 years old. The little gangster Fengqi met the little gangster Luo Wendao, and the two had similar tastes.

"I can't live on anymore!" Luo Wendao gnawed on a chicken bone that had long since lost its meat, "Let's find another way to make a living."

"What do you want to do?" Feng Qi said indifferently.

"Let's become pirates! Just rob those rich people!" Luo Wendao threw the chicken bone on the ground, as if this could show his determination.

Feng Qi looked up, and the boundless starry sky was calling him, and he suddenly realized that there was his lifelong pursuit: "Okay! Let's be a pirate!"

Luo Wendao had already begun to imagine: "We are going to build a ship first, what should it be called? How about the Wild Wolf?"

Feng Qi squinted: "It's too stupid, it's a shame!"

"Well, what's your name, anyway, I'm incapable of naming it."

"Call Cangming."

Luo Wendao frowned and chewed on the chicken: "It doesn't look like a pirate's name at all."

Thoughts returned, Qiuye and Luo Wendao were still arguing endlessly over whether they had culture.

"Have you been back to Lan Xuexing recently?" Feng Qi asked.

"No, what am I going to do there alone? It's freezing all year round, who can stand it?" Luo Wendao waved his hands.

"Huh? You came to be a pirate by yourself? You..." Qiu Ye bit her tongue and didn't continue asking in the middle of her question.

Since he said he is alone now, what about his mother?The answer is self-evident. It is hard to imagine that the tough mother just disappeared. What happened?Akiba didn't dare to ask, because there must be a sad story behind it.

"Nonsense, do I still drag my family to become pirates?" Luo Wendao acted nonchalantly, but his expression was still much stiffer than before.

The atmosphere became stiff, Luo Wendao lowered his head slightly, and seemed to lose interest in speaking all of a sudden.

Only Feng Qi said unhurriedly: "Then you plan to be a pirate for the rest of your life?"

Luo Wendao spread his legs, put his arms on his knees, and leaned his upper body slightly forward. His short black hair stood up and showed no signs of yielding due to his age.

After a long time, he rubbed his face vigorously, and when he raised his head again, there was an indelible tiredness on his buoyant face: "Qiuye, can you do me a favor?"

"Tell me." Qiu Ye said seriously.

Luo Wendao clasped his hands together and bowed: "I have some wounded people here, can you please take a look at them for me? If those medicines are expensive, I will find a way to raise money for you."

Qiu Ye once healed his arm injury at a great price, so he always thought that Qiu Ye was a doctor.

Luo Wendao, who has a strong self-esteem, can say the words of the request, which shows that there is no other way.

"What are you talking about, if I can help, I will definitely help." Qiu Ye looked at Feng Qi.

Feng Qi ordered the adjutant: "Let Su Tongyang bring a few people over to have a look."

Several people followed Luo Wendao through the front half of the ship and came to the rear cabin, they couldn't help being dumbfounded.

This is still a legendary pirate ship, the front cabin is better, they are all sturdy adult men, one is stronger than the other, but the back cabin is full of old and weak women and children, it is basically a shelter.

Children big and small are chasing and playing, women are doing handicrafts together in twos and threes, and old people are chatting together, which is not a kind of comfort and peace.

Luo Wendao led them into a cabin that had been transformed into a ward, and the strong smell of disinfectant water came over them.

About a dozen young men were lying on the hospital bed, with bandages wrapped around their bodies, looking very weak.

"They were basically injured in our battle with the dragon people. They were all relatively serious alchemy injuries. Some of them had been for several months. I really had no way to cure them. I could only watch them suffer. I originally planned to Collect enough money to send them to a big hospital, just happened to meet you, please save them." Luo Wendao said earnestly.

Su Tongyang didn't wait for Feng Qi's order, he had already ordered the team members to act, and went to check some serious ones by himself.

After looking around, Su Tongyang said to Luo Wendao: "Most of them are fine, but some of them are delayed for too long, and there may be sequelae."

Luo Wendao was very pleasantly surprised: "Can it really be cured? As long as it can save the life, anything will do!"

"I'll do my best, don't worry."

He came to the bedside of a man whose whole body was wrapped in bandages. He took off the bandages and began to treat him. This man's injuries were already serious, his internal organs were turned out, and half of his body was festering. It was a miracle that he could survive until now.

Qiu Ye pulled Luo Wendao out of the ward: "Let's go, don't affect their treatment."

Luo Wendao's face obviously relaxed a lot: "Thank you this time, if I send them to the hospital, it's hard to guarantee that I won't be dragged to death directly."

Before he could be happy for a while, a pirate wearing a red turban hurried over to Luo Wendao and said, "Captain... Du Fei seems... seems to be dying..." The man glanced at Qiu while talking. Ye and the others seemed unwilling to let them hear it.

Luo Wendao's face that had shown joy just now sank again: "Understood, I'll go and have a look."

Qiu Ye and Feng Qi stood quietly by the side without saying anything, Luo Wendao hesitated for a while and sighed, feeling helpless: "There is one more person, can you go and see, you are well-informed, maybe know what's going on."

The red turban immediately objected: "Captain, Du Fei looks like him... how can I let them see it! What if it's the eagle claw of the empire..."

"Shut up!" Luo Wendao snapped, "They are my friends!"

The red turban glanced at them hostilely, holding back the words of resentment.

"You come with me."

Going down to the cabin at the bottom, as soon as the door was opened, Qiuye heard a familiar roar.There was a rusty iron cage in the corner, and a dragon man was locked inside. He was grabbing the iron fence with his sharp claws, making a sharp and piercing sound.

There was a young man standing beside the cage, trying to talk to him: "Brother, calm down, you will be fine..."

"Don't be afraid, this person is... hey, Qiuye!"

Luo Wendao also wanted to explain why they imprisoned a magic dragon man. Qiu Ye had already walked quickly to the cage, and was standing in a position where the magic dragon man could not catch.

The dragon man grinned, showing his sharp fangs.The young man stared at Qiuye vigilantly, for fear that he would do something that would be detrimental to the dragon man.

Qiu Ye saw the reason at a glance, pulled Luo Wendao aside, lowered his voice and said: "He has been completely demonized and has lost human consciousness. It is very dangerous for you to lock him up like this..."

"He's a human! Not that kind of monster!" The young man yelled, although Qiu Ye had already said very softly, but the young man heard it sensitively, or he was keenly aware of something from the moment Qiu Ye entered the cabin, and said generate strong hostility.

Qiu Ye sighed and said nothing more, the dragon man hissed and laughed, as if mocking these stupid humans.

Several people exited the cabin, Qiu Ye asked: "How did you find him? How many people like him are there on board?"

"He's the only one. He's the elder brother of that person just now. After returning from a long trip, he began to change. His younger brother brought him to join me. He looked normal at first, but then... asked him what happened, and he didn't know what happened. Ken said..." Luo Wendao heard the mystery in Qiu Ye's words, "Huh? Listen to you, have you seen his symptoms? There are many people like him?"

Qiu Ye sighed: "Many, very many, he is not sick, but has been demonized."

Luo Wendao opened his mouth halfway, and a question came to his mouth, and he almost felt that there was no need to ask: "...Can it be cured?"

Qiu Ye shook her head dejectedly: "I'm not completely demonized, but I'm trying to find a way, like him..."

Luo Wendao remained silent, although he didn't say anything, the veins popping out of his neck showed the anger in his heart.

Qiu Ye looked in and saw that the young man was still trying to communicate with the dragon man, and his heart seemed to be stuffed with cotton.Rationally speaking, for the safety of the people on board, it should be dealt with as soon as possible, but emotionally speaking, no one wants to believe that a good-natured person just disappeared.

"If you really want to lock him up, this iron cage won't work. He has just completed demonization, and his body is still relatively weak, and his attack power is not strong. Once his physical strength returns to normal levels, this level of metal will not be able to lock him up at all. .I will make a list for you, and you can buy the materials on the list and build a new cage.” Qiuye said.

Luo Wendao listened, and suddenly laughed, that kind of bitter and embarrassing smile, to invite the two of them here on purpose, and then ask for advice on how to properly detain the Demon Dragon Man, this kind of thing is ridiculous.

"I see." Luo Wendao walked back, hooking Qiuye and Fengqi's shoulders from left to right, "It's really a joke for you, I'm really useless, being a pirate like me, I'm afraid I'm the only one portion."

How can a normal pirate have a boat full of old and weak women and children, and also a dragon man?The heavy burden was on his shoulders, making him almost unable to straighten up.

"Uncle Luo! Uncle Luo!" Two children shouted and ran to him.

"My name is Brother Luo!" Luo Wendao raised his face.

"Okay, Uncle Luo!" The child responded crisply, "Uncle Luo, he insists that he is taller than me! I am obviously taller than him, so let's see who is taller!"

"It's me! You're not ashamed to be a liar!" cried another child.

Luo Wendao squatted down and pulled the two children: "Hey, let me see, it seems that you are taller, no, no, you are taller."

"Look, Uncle Luo said I'm tall!"

"Obviously I am taller!"

"It's Brother Luo! No, you two are far behind! When will you grow as tall as Brother Luo! Go and play, Brother Luo still has guests here."

"Goodbye, Uncle Luo!" The two children ran away noisily.

The small cabin is a small world, and the people here have sincere smiles. Although the life is very difficult, they enjoy the rare comfort. Although this comfort is short-lived, it is precious.

"Sometimes I really want to throw them away so that I can live a more comfortable life, but I can't." Luo Wendao looked at them and said.

"Do you have enough money and food?" Qiu Ye asked.

"Do you look down on me?" Luo Wendao raised his chin proudly, "I can still afford to support this kind of people, but it's too annoying, there are too many things to do!"

Feng Qi did not speak from beginning to end, his brows were knit together.

Although he was a pirate with Luo Wendao in his previous life, what he did was not robbing houses.At first they robbed some merchant ships to earn their first pot of gold, but gradually as the Star Wars ignited, the situation became turbulent, Luo Wendao proposed to take the opportunity to grab more votes, Feng Qi did the opposite and started to protect the merchant ships live.Most of the people who came out to do business during the war were out of helplessness, so Feng Qi provided them with armed protection to guard against other pirates and magic dragon people.The business became more and more popular, and the more he worked, the more famous he became. Feng Qi gained a lot of popularity through this, and many displaced people came to join him. At first, he accepted it out of good intentions, but the more he received, the heavier the burden.He changed his strategy in time and took a planet as a stronghold. With his excellent mind and leadership, he established China in the chaotic era. Recruit talents in all aspects and grow stronger day by day.Finally, when the conditions were ripe, and prompted by a certain incident, he declared himself king.

Since the empire cannot protect its people, then I will protect them!Since the empire can't kill the dragon people, then I will kill them!Now that the Empire is about to fall apart, I will take its place!

Although Luo Wendao is a good general who can fight well, he does not have the ability to foresight. Although he has embarked on the same road twice, the results are not the same. The increasing burden has exceeded his ability. He was worn out, the pirate he had worked very hard.

"The future wars will only become more and more intense, so what should you do if you have no one to snatch?" Qiuye asked the most practical question.

Luo Wendao smiled wryly: "I... don't know... I can only take one step at a time..."

Feng Qi patted Luo Wendao's shoulder: "Do you need me to show you the way?"

Luo Wendao's eyes lit up: "Say it!"

Feng Qi led Luo Wendao away, but Qiu Ye comprehended and didn't follow.

Su Tongyang took a lot of time to heal his wounds, Lu Ting arranged work to report to Fengqi.

"I sent some of the medicines to them, and I still have some extra food. Anyway, we will join You Zixun soon, so we don't need to keep so much." Lu Ting said.

Feng Qi nodded, he was always at ease in Lu Ting's work.

Lu Ting looked at Feng Qi thoughtfully: "I don't understand one thing. Since you and him are old acquaintances, why don't you take the opportunity to recruit him? What Theodore can't do, you may not be able to do."

"Recruit? Why should I recruit them." Feng Qi was unmoved, "People like them are used to being loose, and they can't accept the control of the army for a while."

Lu Ting laughed after a brief silence: "Excuses."

Feng Qi even recruits semi-demonized people who have no foundation. Wouldn't he be jealous of these pirates with certain fighting qualities?No matter how loose their nature is, there must be a way to manage them, it depends on whether Feng Qi is willing or not.Moreover, the life of the pirates is obviously difficult, which is a good opportunity for inclusion.

Lu Ting has been a smart person since he was a child, good at logical thinking, able to analyze people's hearts, and has made some achievements in strategy and tactics, so he can see Feng Qi's abnormality in handling this matter.

But Feng Qi didn't seem to have any intention of explaining to him, and continued to walk forward.

"Major General, I still remember the sand table deduction between you and me when we first entered school." Lu Ting followed Feng Qi's footsteps.

Feng Qi didn't squint his eyes, and didn't strike up a conversation.

"I used to be very self-righteous, thinking that no one in the entire empire could plan and fight thousands of miles better than me, until that day you taught me a lesson. I feel like a student in front of you, and all my thoughts are under your control In the middle. To be honest, I was quite shocked at that time, and I couldn't figure out why you gave me such a strong sense of oppression when you were my age."

Feng Qi stopped and began to concentrate on listening to him.

Lu Ting smiled and said: "But I quickly figured it out, since there is an excellent person in front of me, why not study. I am not born to be a decisive general, but I have always wanted to be a Lushanlun Towel's military adviser, this wish has not changed."

If the chief is too good, the subordinates are often under a lot of pressure, but they are also more challenging.Having been by Feng Qi's side for so many years, he would notice some of his unreasonable actions occasionally, and sometimes he even thought that Feng Qi deliberately showed some clues to test his mind.

Finally he made a decision that was very important to him.

Lu Ting solemnly said: "For a military division, only following a strong leader can realize its true ambition. Therefore, no matter what you do, I hope to follow you."

He thought well, Feng Qi had indeed been tempting him for a long time, in the memory of Feng Qi's previous life, Lu Ting was unknown, maybe he became unlucky in a certain unimportant battle, so this person is completely in his hands outside of the plan.

But the plan changes with the changes. A person's brain can only think about things. It would be great if someone can share some of it for him.

Lu Ting's words were cryptic, but it was enough for Fengqi.

With a smile on his face, Feng Qi nodded deeply.

Lu Ting also breathed a sigh of relief, saying these words requires great courage and determination.

"By the way, You Zixun has been contacted. You should go and see her." Lu Ting said.

"Okay." Feng Qi walked into the command room, on the biggest screen was You Zixun's dazzling red hair.

Seeing Feng Qi, You Zixun almost jumped on the screen: "It's great that you're fine! My nerves are almost broken!"

Feng Qi smiled reassuringly: "Don't worry, I still have a lot of unfulfilled wishes, I can't just die like this."

You Zixun smiled wryly, rubbing his red eyes.

"How about the Legion casualties?"

You Zixun's face sank little by little, with a sad expression: "It's miserable, I made a preliminary calculation, the loss reached one-third, too many ships were sucked into the black hole, and they were all the people on the whole ship... ..."

The Shining Legion has 600 million soldiers, one-third is 200 million, this number is terrifyingly large.

There are 200 million people, and there is a family behind every soldier, which means that 200 million families have lost their loved ones.

Feng Qi's face was gloomy like never before, he had never experienced such a tragic failure whether it was in his previous life or in this life.

"In addition, there is a more tragic news." You Zixun paused, "The entire army of the Light Legion was wiped out, including Lieutenant General Max, and no one survived."

There are 900 million soldiers in the Legion of Light, and none of them survived. What does this mean?

Nine million lives were wiped out, that nasty annoying lieutenant general was gone, and an entire legion was directly removed from the imperial army.

Feng Qi clenched his fists, sadness and anger were intertwined, and his heart was empty and empty.

"Hurry up and come back." You Zixun said wearily.

"I see." Feng Qi sucked in a mouthful of air forcefully, and exhaled slowly.
