One man’s Chaldea
Page 39
The intelligence officer laughed foolishly, then said something shocking.
“While the other brothers were busy running away, I discussed with a few brothers and moved quite a bit closer to where you were fighting.”
“Don’t mention it, that circle of air waves and vibrations were really powerful when they hit my face!”
“My brothers and I were well prepared, but we were still blown to the ground and rolled several times!”
While speaking, the intelligence officer also vividly demonstrated his actions at the time.
You shouldn’t be on this set, you should be somewhere with a magnetic force with your brothers.
Lin Qi covered his face, speechless, and could only give him a thumbs up.
Judging from his performance, perhaps I should find a more suitable person to entrust this mask to.
As for why?
Lin Qi might not be surprised no matter where Dio dies. Whether he can get the mask back or not is another matter.
……
With the departure of Romulus, the intelligence of the Roman soldiers who were “charmed” by his leadership qualities gradually returned to their highs.
After the towering tree fell, they all came to their senses, decisively chose to surrender, and returned to Nero’s army.
After all, all the emperors of the Roman United Nations are gone, so wouldn’t they be fools if they just stayed there and held on?
Therefore, it probably wouldn’t be long before Nero could regain the prestige that belonged to the Roman emperor.
Now that the matter has come to an end, in order not to be the last one to leave, Lin Qi started the return program of the “watch” after retrieving the mask.
In about three minutes, he will be called back directly by Chaldea.
At this time, the surviving Boudica and Lu Bu also had golden light on their bodies.
“… Boudica? Are you leaving now?”
Although Nero had expected to find something strange, he still felt disappointed.
“Of course, we were only summoned here. Now that we have completed what we need to do, we naturally need to leave.”
“Why? Could it be that His Majesty Nero can’t bear to part with me?”
Boudica said with a smile.
“Who said that! You won’t forget the agreement, right? You and I agreed that if you lose the war, you will join my army!”
Nero blushed and protested.
“Hey, Nero, you are so naive. That kind of agreement is only valid if both of us are alive, right?”
“I am a dead man now!”
Boudica was so generous that she didn’t seem like someone who had died once.
As for why Nero is said to be naive? Of course, Nero is indeed a very naive person.
As a heroic spirit, Boudica has all the necessary knowledge, especially the stories of Nero and herself.
Of course, he also knew that many of Nero’s end was caused by his naivety.
After she came to the world and inquired from many sources, she learned that the suffering she suffered because of the Roman attack was not Nero’s intention, but was done by the people below without her knowing. She then had a deeper understanding of Nero’s naivety.
The resentment and hatred towards her almost dissipated.
After leaving Nero speechless, Boudica turned to look at Lin Qi with a smug look on her face.
“It’s a pity that I came a little late. I didn’t have a chance to chat with you, little master.”
“But since it has come to this, it’s time to say goodbye, little master!”
As a mother-oriented servant, Boudica felt an outburst of maternal love when she saw Lin Qi. If she hadn’t arrived too late, she would definitely have pulled Lin Qi to sit next to the fireplace and give her some good care.
Although it was always uncomfortable to say goodbye, Lin Qi still smiled and nodded:
“Well, see you later.”
“laugh–“
Lu Bu on the side suddenly spewed out a puff of white steam, attracting the attention of others.
“Hmm, General Lu Bu seems to be quite dissatisfied with his performance, right?”
“After all, the war was already over, and it seems that he only worked together with Spartacus to defeat one of the enemy’s servants. He never played a proper role at all.”
Lu Bu hugged his chest, looking unhappy. Nero and Lin Qi, who knew what he was thinking, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
But no matter how dissatisfied he was, the story of the second singularity had ended.
So within a few seconds, both of them turned into points of light and disappeared in front of everyone.
Only Lin Qi and Nero were left looking at each other.
Suddenly there was silence.
Both parties hold a high position in each other’s hearts, so it is naturally extremely painful for them to part.
There was silence for a few seconds.
It was Nero who spoke first with reluctance.
“…So the player is leaving too?”
Looking at Nero’s eyes that sparkled like a pool of spring water and his trembling eyelashes.
Lin Qi exhaled and wanted to look Nero in the eyes, but couldn’t help but avoid his gaze.
I could only scratch my head, glance at the “watch” on my wrist, and pretend to be open-minded and say:
“Yeah, we have about a minute to go…”
Although he was looking at the “watch”, this watch did not have a countdown function. Lin Qi usually counted in his mind.
“Your Majesty, please don’t blame me for leaving in a hurry.”
After saying that, Lin Qi also made a joke.
“Well, am I really that inhuman in your eyes?”
Nero put his hands on his hips and pretended to be angry.
But he failed halfway through pretending, and he put down his hands that were on his waist, and the expression on his face became relieved.
“…You must still have a long way to go after this, right? I think you must have made an incredible determination to embark on this journey.”
“In this case, how can I, as your monarch, hold your hand in this situation?”
That would be too selfish, right?
Nero smiled and stepped back, leaving enough space between the two of them.
“So, farewell, my favorite subject.”
“May your future journey be as glorious as a blooming rose!”
Looking at the girl who was bathed in the evening sunshine, holding up her skirt and smiling brightly.
Lin Qi suddenly choked up.
He is not afraid of pain, but he finds separation the hardest to adapt to, and he cannot control his emotions no matter how many times.
But since His Majesty the Emperor saw me off with a smile, I should also say goodbye with a smile.
“Ah, goodbye, my favorite emperor.”
The voice just fell.
The smiling boy disappeared from Nero’s sight as if he had never appeared.
Nero’s smile gradually disappeared, and the hand holding up her skirt slowly loosened.
Looking at the place where the boy just stood, he muttered to himself:
“Player, quickly realize your true power. Only by igniting that flame will your journey not be too painful…”
Unfortunately, this power has not yet fully developed, so she cannot answer Lin Qi’s questions in advance.
Otherwise, she would definitely have to speak up for him.

——Chaldea——
“laugh–“
Along with the sound of the cabin being opened, Lin Qi slowly walked out of the spirit particle transfer cabin.
After returning to the real safe zone, Lin Qi felt like a social animal coming back from work, and his body suddenly collapsed.
“My waist and chest hurt so much, I think something is broken or something…”
“My wrist is a little sore, so let’s go to the medical room for a quick check-up…”
Lin Qi covered his waist and muttered to himself.
With every step, the sound of the soles of shoes hitting the floor echoed continuously in the long corridor.
Lin Qi has long been accustomed to this.
The medical room is very close to the battle simulation room, apparently to better treat Masters injured in simulated battles.
So every time Lin Qi came to the medical room, he could see the combat simulation room.
But for Lin Qi, the simulation room that helped him get through the novice period was somewhat useless.
It is a pity that it is tasteless.
Kung Fu can always be mastered in a day, let alone Lin Qi who has already determined his own talent.
At best, he is an average person. Even if he trains himself to the point where his humanity is completely destroyed, I’m afraid he won’t be a match for a normal Servant in head-on combat, right?
What’s more, the developers of the battle simulation room themselves know this, so its main job is more to train the Master’s command ability.
Unfortunately, Lin Qi’s qualifications in this area are not outstanding.
“Ah.”
With a self-deprecating laugh, Lin Qi walked into the medical room, leaning against the wall.

If you make a wrong judgment, you will enter the third singularity only in the next chapter of this chapter.
–
I feel like I need to say that the main theme of this novel is [upgrade] rather than [growth]. In fact, I also know that I am unlikely to write about growth well, so the label I put at the beginning was just [upgrade], so growth only occupies a small part of this novel.
Besides, no one probably thinks that the fussy protagonist can save the world alone, right?
What the protagonist lacks the most is enough power. If he had the power of Gilgamesh or the Grandmaster, it is hard to say who will cry.
Chapter 39: The Battle for the Third Singularity Begins
“Three ribs are broken… There are some fractures in my right forearm, but my head is fine… All the muscles that can be used in combat are strained to varying degrees…”
After simply checking himself with medical equipment and looking at the report, Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
“Haha, this time there are many more injuries, big and small, than last time.”
Last time, the singularity was idle most of the time.
However, although he had many injuries, Lin Qi did not cry out in pain.
