Royal Alchemist

Faced with Feng Qi's questioning, Lu Ting was very helpless. At this time, he had to rejoice that his chief was a rational person, and he would not make such moves as flipping the table.

Sure enough, after a while, Feng Qi said coldly: "Understood."

"I still have a gossip that hasn't been confirmed yet." Lu Ting leaned over, "Mensah may be dismissed."

Feng Qi's eyes flickered, but he just replied: "Understood."

-

The media spread overwhelmingly about how the imperial army fought bravely, repelled the vicious dragon people, and drove the invaders who invaded the country out of their homes. The rescued planet cheered and celebrated the victory of the war with carnival.

The entire empire was intoxicated in a festive atmosphere, and people who didn't know the truth rejoiced, almost making people think that they really won a battle and beat the enemy to the ground.

Sure enough, Mensa did not appear in the public eye again. Instead, Wallace Ed, Minister of Military Affairs, appeared in his place. Wallace was born in the upstart. personality is completely opposite.

"Our land is sacred and inviolable! God bless us! Victory will be ours! Thank you for being under the protection of the empire!" Wallace shouted in an interview.

The sacrifices of the soldiers were briefly mentioned, as if they were insignificant, and were instantly forgotten.

The celebration banquet this time seemed to be more grand than in the past, with cups of wine intertwined and beautiful melodies echoing in the gorgeous banquet hall.

"Am I dreaming? Or are the more than 1000 million people swallowed just my dream?" Qiu Ye walked into the venue in disbelief.

Feng Qi took two glasses of wine and handed him one: "If you don't want to see these people, we'll leave after a while."

Qiu Ye squinted: "It's because you don't want to stay longer, so you deliberately use me as a shield?"

Feng Qi kissed him, and Qiu Ye immediately compromised: "Okay then, pretend to force you to go, and let me do it."

Mensa was not seen at the banquet, only Wallace was seen flying around in the crowd like a fat butterfly, pushing glasses and changing glasses.With Wallace guiding the atmosphere, the celebration banquet was lively and jubilant, as if it was really celebrating some great event.

As soon as Feng Qi appeared in the banquet hall, he attracted everyone's attention, and Wallace squeezed his way out of the crowd.

The bright red wine glass was raised in front of him, and the flesh on Wallace's face was piled together: "Major General Fengqi, congratulations on your victory again, your resume has added glory, to have such an excellent person like you General, it is really the luck of the empire."

If it wasn't for his sweet smile, Qiuye almost thought he came here to mock Feng Qi.

Feng Qi raised his wine glass, and twitched the corner of his mouth, as a promise.

Although Feng Qi never expresses emotions easily in front of people, he is not a tactful person either. When he is unhappy, he has a unique trick, which is to stand coldly, with a strong sense of presence, he stands coldly, no matter what you say Just keep a cold face, at most bend the corners of your mouth to show your face, no matter how happy the atmosphere is, it can cool you down.Therefore, people who don't like him usually don't dare to confront him head-on, and they all point and point behind his back.

But Wallace is a fine individual, how can such a small setback knock him down, and he has a way of turning his small eyes, instead of talking directly to Feng Qi, he turned to everyone: "Today we gathered here to celebrate the victory of the war , Facts have proved that the dragon people are not our opponents, as long as we give them a look, they will roll away in disgrace! Let us raise our glasses and pay tribute to the God of War who has returned in triumph!"

It's not easy to get hatred in front of Feng Qi, but Qiu Ye thinks that Wallace is so great that he managed to make a vein pop out of Feng Qi's forehead.

Just as he was about to say something to help Feng Qi out of the siege, an angry and loud voice sounded: "If this kind of war can be called victory, I'm afraid that the tens of millions of soldiers swallowed by the Luke Corridor will die with regret!"

It was Theodore who was talking. He was honest and could not understand people putting on airs. What's more, he and Wallace were not in the same camp.

"As long as the dragon people are repelled, it is a victory. Although the sacrifice is a bit high, it is their honor to die for the empire." Wallace raised his head to look at Theodore, expressing his contempt.

"Immersed in the ridiculous imaginary victory, does it make you happy?" Theodore's face turned red with anger.

"Brigadier General Theodore, you are still young. Many things are not as simple as you think. Our people need to be encouraged by victory. They need to see a comfortable empire. Do you want the people to live in panic? And we do Recovered lost ground, saved those planets, right?"

"What we should do now is to check the failures, not drink and chat here!"

"Of course the review will be done, but are you yelling loudly now to spoil the banquet and disappoint His Majesty?" Wallace's small eyes gleamed with a sly light.

Theodore was at a loss for words, and verbal warfare was not his forte. After holding back for a while, he said angrily, "What's in your glass is not wine, but the blood of sacrificed soldiers. Just drink it!" After speaking, he turned and left.

The crimson wine was shaking in the crystal glass, and Wallace looked at Theodore contemptuously through the slits of his eyes.

Qiu Ye looked left and right and felt that the situation was not good, and it was better to leave the place of trouble as soon as possible.

"Ouch, my stomach hurts!" Qiu Ye grabbed Feng Qi's arm.

Feng Qi looked down at him silently.

Qiu Ye twisted her facial features: "Oh, it hurts, it must be that the milk in the morning has expired!"

Because his acting skills were too exaggerated, he immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.

"Stomach pain?" Feng Qi raised his eyebrows.

Qiu Ye nodded vigorously and hugged his arms even tighter: "It hurts! What kind of stomach cramps! Yes, stomach cramps!"

Feng Qi helped Qiu Ye, with an expression of "my boyfriend has stomach cramps, I'm so worried": "Persist, I'll take you to the hospital."

Qiu Ye nodded and hung on Feng Qi's body.

"I'm sorry, I have something to do first." Feng Qi signaled to the people around him, and finally turned to Wallace, "I think it is necessary to remind you that you still owe Lieutenant General Max a decent funeral."

Wallace watched them leave with a smile, his eyes narrowed with hatred.

You come and go between them, and Safirol, who is standing by the window, looked at them. Although he couldn't hear what they said, he could guess one or two from their expressions.

"It seems that the fight is so fierce that Theodore's hair is going to stand on end." Girod said to Safirol.

Safirol shook his head slowly: "I really don't understand why the father wants to use someone like Wallace."

"He has a good way of dealing with the people. He can show the people what they want to see. Now people outside are celebrating, and they don't feel the atmosphere of war at all."

"Perhaps." Safirol said indifferently, "But the whitewashed peace is like a bubble, how long can it last? You don't know if you are not on the battlefield. The scene of the black hole swallowing the ship at that time is really terrible. If I was the main force at the time, so I’m afraid you won’t see me.”

Safirol's eyes fell in the distance, Feng Qi was walking out with Qiu Ye.

When he learned that two-thirds of the Shining Legion survived, he was relieved. If he was in command of the Shining Legion, he might not be able to react so quickly, and he might end up in the same end as the Bright Legion.

I remember that when I just met Feng Qi back then, when the two of them fought against each other for the first time during the freshman military exercise, they were severely taught a lesson, and now this man's commanding ability has reached the pinnacle.

If only he could serve the Empire faithfully.Safirol lowered his head and took a sip of his wine.

Walking out of the banquet hall, Qiuye returned to her original state, with one hand pretending to touch her stomach, giving the illusion of over-acting.

Beautiful music was faintly coming from behind, obviously so cheerful, but Qiuye only felt depressed.

"Will Wallace be against you? He's gaining power now. Mensa didn't even attend the dinner. He's been suppressed by Mensa for so long and he's finally turned around."

"In the past, you said all day long that it must be a bad thing for Mensa to have a son like Fast. How did you speak for him today?"

"Fast is genetically mutated. No matter how much Mensa fights for power, he has great determination to deal with the dragon people. The empire needs this determination. Wallace has never even been on the battlefield."

"Mensah is an old fox, but it is not so easy for him to step down."

The two walked out of the banquet building while talking, and as soon as they stepped out of the gate, something flew towards Qiuye.

Qiu Ye couldn't react in time, just half a step back, Feng Qi stretched out his hand to block it, and the thing hit his arm.

An evil stench emanates.

"Give me back my son!" The screams were piercing.

Qiu Ye turned her head and saw seven or eight women standing outside the fence not far away. They were of different ages, but they all held a few eggs in their hands. One of them was a middle-aged woman with disheveled hair and a haggard face, screaming at the top of her voice.

"And my husband!" cried a young woman with blistered eyes.

"give me back!"

"You executioners! Murderers!"

When the women saw someone coming out of it, they howled like crazy, and their shrill and fragile voices could be heard endlessly.Eggs were thrown at them one by one, all rotten eggs with a bad smell.

Feng Qi turned around to protect Qiu Ye behind him, and all the rotten eggs fell on him.

"Hey! What are you doing!" The guards rushed over and took down these helpless women in twos and twos, "Take them away!"

These women stood guard at the door for a long time. They were quiet at first, but the guards thought they were coming to watch and didn't drive them away. Unexpectedly, they showed their "weapons" suddenly.

The adjutant had just brought the car over, and when he saw the officer being hit by a rotten egg, he quickly took out a handkerchief and a bottle of water, and loaded the two of them into the car first.

Qiu Ye hurriedly poured water on Feng Qi's body to scrub him, Feng Qi waved to the adjutant: "Go and tell them not to embarrass them."

The women were pressed to the ground by the guards, but they were still screaming at the top of their lungs. If the resentment had any substance, they seemed to rush over and bite Feng Qi into pieces.

The adjutant ran to say a few words, and the guards let go of their hands, forcing them to leave with guns.

"Major General, I've ordered everything." The adjutant returned to the car. Just as the door was closed, a stone flew over. Although it couldn't affect the car in any way, it felt like it hit their hearts with a bang.

"Let's go." Feng Qi said.

Qiuye lowered her head and was still wiping Fengqi's sleeves with a handkerchief. Her body was dirty and could not be wiped off no matter how much she wiped.

"Don't be dejected." Feng Qi pinched his chin.

Qiu Ye woke up and her eyes were slightly hot: "They shouldn't have treated you like this."

"There is no way, there are more than 1000 million orphans and widows among more than 1000 million people."

"But you have saved so many people."

"So what? For them, it's [-] percent."

In fact, Feng Qi understands what Qiu Ye said, but he just can't hold it back, something is blocked in his throat, it hurts and sore, as if he wants to explode.

"If you died on the battlefield, I would not just throw a rotten egg." Feng Qi hugged Qiu Ye and said hoarsely.

Treasure and anger are intertwined, and after the slight sweetness, there is pain that cannot be concealed.

If you die on the battlefield, I will make the enemy pay in blood!Akiba also had the same thought in his mind.

Qiu Ye leaned against Feng Qi for a while, struggled to get out of his arms, sniffed and leaned to the other side.

"What's wrong?" Feng Qi was worried that he still couldn't figure it out.

Qiu Ye shook her head and sniffed again: "It's nothing, you really stink."

For a moment, Feng Qi had the urge to strangle him to death.

-

Wu Dong's companions finally came. In the end, there were nearly a hundred people who were willing to join the army. Qiu Ye selected a dozen or so from the semi-demonized people he recruited to form a 150-member mecha brigade.Akiba's initial goal is to have at least a 1500-member mecha regiment. Although it is still a bit far away, the first step has already been taken.

He created a file for everyone, and selected some people from the medical team to record their physical changes so that they can be dealt with at any time.

To mark the day, they hosted a small celebration in the base mess hall.

"Come on, drink! Today you can drink with your stomach open, but after today you can't drink indiscriminately. Alcohol is banned in the army. I know some of you who used to drink well, so I quit!" Qiu Ye grabbed a bottle Wine, chatter a few words.

Everyone didn't care about what he was saying at all, and they rushed to hold a few more bottles of wine in their arms, for fear that they would be snatched away if they moved too slowly.

Qiu Ye shook her head with great emotion: "Today is the day when our team was formally established..."

"Hey, Captain, Rang Rang, you're blocking me."

"Oh." Qiuye took a few steps back, "...we must remember this day forever..."

"Captain, do you want chicken wings? I'll grab one for you."

"I want two!" Qiu Ye stretched out two fingers.

"No problem! Put it on me!" The man patted his chest.

"Sycophant!" A person next to him kicked him, "Captain, I grabbed a chicken leg for you!"

"Hurry up and get it here!" Qiu Ye cleared her throat, "Well, what... just remembering this day is not enough, we are different from others, what is the difference? Our bodies are stronger, our strength Bigger, our speed is faster..."

"Captain, what kind of skewers do you want, lamb skewers or beef skewers?"

"Roasted chicken heart, thank you!" Qiu Ye stood on the chair, "...we burn our lives, make the last fight, turn sadness and anger into the motivation for fighting, and kill more enemies on the battlefield..."

"Captain, do you like sweet sauce or hoisin sauce? Would you like some spicy?"

"Slightly spicy, I will get angry if I eat too much spicy food."

"I have a folk prescription for clearing away heat and detoxification, Captain, do you want to try it?" A person emerged from the corner.

"Go away, yours is obviously a laxative, what do you want to do to the captain!" Another person yelled at him.

"I took it wrong that time!"

Qiu Ye simply stood on the table and occupied the commanding heights: "...There will be more hardships and hardships waiting for us in the future. We must carry forward the spirit of revolution..."

"Captain, lift your feet, you're stepping on a straw."

The people next to him yelled at him: "You still use a straw when you drink? Sissy! Be careful not to drop the captain, he finally stood so high."

With a dark face, Akiba realized that no one was listening to his speech at all, and was completely immersed in food and wine.

He took a deep breath, used his mental strength, and shouted: "You guys give me peace first!"

Everyone stopped making noise for a moment and looked at Qiuye quietly.

Akiba's sense of accomplishment is overwhelming.Look, this is a response to every call, this is the order and prohibition!

"I think, I have to give our team a name. It needs to be prestigious. Everyone brainstorms and talks about their own ideas."

Wu Dong raised his hand: "Anyway, we are all people who have been demonized, let's call them demons, it sounds pretty cool."

"I think it's weird, it's not easy to say." Qiuye shook her head.

"Dragon man!" Someone said.

"No, it's too close to the dragon man."

"It's called Tyrannosaurus Rex!" Someone said.

"Hey, can't you leave this dragon and that dragon behind?"

"Call the Giant Bears!"

"It feels like a bear."

The crowd discussed noisyly for a while, but nothing came out of the discussion.

"I have a name, do you want to hear it?" Qiuye said.

Everyone looked up at the autumn leaves standing on the table, the one who wanted to grab the straw secretly reached out to grab the straw, and the person next to him knocked his hand off with a snap.

At this moment, Qiuye finally found a sense of existence: "What do you think of the name Demon Hunter?"

"It seems pretty good."

"It sounds pretty cool."

"Support. Captain, I've prepared the sauce for your chicken heart, so handle it carefully."

"Thank you." Qiu Ye jumped off the table, "Then it's such a happy decision! Okay, I'm leaving, you eat slowly, remember to clean up the table after eating."

With a grilled chicken heart in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other, Qiu Ye walked out of the cafeteria.

Wu Dong was squatting at the door, and when he saw Qiu Ye coming out, he stood up, his black eyes sparkling with excitement.

The team was successfully established, and he was as happy as Qiu Ye. Seeing that these people of the same kind were finally able to use their talents, and finally able to avenge their hatred, even if they died, they died well.

"A demon hunter?"

Qiu Ye gnawed off a piece of chicken heart: "Do you like this name?"

"I like it, it's cool, does it have any special meaning?"

"No, it's fine as long as it's cool. To be a human being is to be cool." Qiu Ye said with a smile.

Wu Dong also smiled: "There must be some meaning?"

Qiu Ye chewed on the chicken heart and took another sip of wine, with a complicated meaning in her smile: "Demon hunters are warriors of darkness. They establish a contract with the dark forces and obtain terrifying power. They usually blind themselves Gain the ability to quickly detect demons, they are the strongest fighters, but they are not understood by the tribe."

Wu Dong's expression gradually became serious, and he stared at Qiuye seriously.

Akiba continued: "When their power reaches its peak, they will transform into demons. At that time, they are the most powerful and go to the limit. When a demon hunter is born, his lines are: Finally, we It's time for revenge."

Wu Dong was immersed in Qiu Ye's words, unable to recover for a long time.

Qiu Ye looked at him quietly, not wanting to disturb his thoughts at the moment.

After a long time, Wu Dong raised his head, with hot flashes in the corners of his eyes: "This name is very good, thank you."

Qiu Ye smiled and said, "You don't need to thank me, I should thank you all."

Wu Dong stepped forward, hugged Qiu Ye, and repeated the word "thank you" over and over again.

Qiu Ye patted his back, feeling infinitely emotional.

From then on, there are no nonsense names such as semi-demonized people and demons. From then on, they have a common name, that is, demon hunters.

They were born with hatred, and every day they took a step forward on the road of becoming demons, and eventually became the targets of killing, but they were fearless, at least before they set foot on the end, their blades were thirsty for the blood of the enemy.

-

Not long after Qiu Ye returned to the apartment, Feng Qi also came back from the office.

The two hugged and tossed in the kitchen for a long time, and finally cooked a table of dishes.

Qiu Ye told Feng Qi about the establishment of the machine combat brigade in detail, and Feng Qi rewarded him with a piece of braised pork and a tongue kiss.

"It's a shame that I was bribed so easily by you." Qiu Ye said inarticulately while gnawing on the braised pork.

"I also have a piece of news today." Feng Qi said, "Today it is officially announced that Mensa will be dismissed from the position of head of the command department, and Zong Lei from the former intelligence department will be appointed."

"Now there is no commander-in-chief of the fleet. He can command the legion as an intelligence officer?" Qiuye was surprised.

"He is Wallace's confidant." Feng Qi's justification is enough to overthrow everything.

"……All right."

Qiuye was still digesting this problem when someone knocked on the door.

A man who looked like a butler stood at the door: "Excuse me, does Major General Feng Qi live here?"

Qiu Ye let the door open, Feng Qi stood up: "I am."

The housekeeper bowed respectfully: "My master would like to invite you to dinner, please do honor me."

"Who is your master?" Qiu Ye asked.

"Mensah Kirk." The butler always maintained a respectful attitude.

Three minutes later, Feng Qi changed his clothes and left with the housekeeper, while Qiu Ye faced a table of dishes by himself.

He angrily picked up the phone and dialed the number: "Hey, is it a TV shopping guide? I want to order a doll, the one from Fengqi, oh no, the one with blonde hair and blue eyes, yes, can it be delivered in half an hour? I want it right away. That’s right, I’m in a hurry, I need it urgently! No problem, I’ll add shipping!”

Half an hour later, Qiu Ye happily received the package, opened it excitedly, and took out an inflatable doll from inside.

The doorbell rang again.

"Who is it again?" Qiuye couldn't spare her hands, so she could only hold the doll in one hand and go to open the door.

The door opened, and Safirol stood at the door, his amber eyes widened when he saw the naked, blond doll in Akiba's hands.
