Chapter 1497: Chapter 1169 What is Your Secret_2
"So, my two Imperial Guard warriors, you must have heard some recent rumors," said the Emperor. "It’s said that you possess a new type of Energy Alloy and hold the key to automatic magic. Would you like to discuss this matter?"
Would they?
This worm really is insatiable, isn’t it? If you want something, why not just ask for it straightforwardly instead of constantly enjoying the art of emperorship?
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Long Yi stepped forward first.
"Good, you are Henki, aren’t you? Then you start!"
"Yes!"
"Not to conceal from Your Majesty, this time Elsa and I, representing the La Sang Family in battle, managed to win not only because of our own insignificant efforts but primarily because we had special abilities that other warriors did not possess," Long Yi explained.
"Oh? Do tell!"
"Yes, Your Majesty. I believe all the Ministers present and Your Majesty are probably very familiar with my life story. The nickname ’Dumb Henki’ has followed me for many years. Until recently, people had scarcely called me dumb. But what I want to say is, I really cannot be considered dumb. I was merely busy thinking about something else— a new type of Energy Alloy formula. From a young age, I discovered I had the ability to sense the Energy Alloy formula. When I first spoke of this ability, no one believed me, so I began researching it on my own. But one person chose to believe me— that was La Sang of the La Sang Family, yes, the one who shares the same name as his family."
"La Sang was very interested in what I described and secretly assisted me in conducting various experiments. Then, I immersed myself in the research of the new Energy Alloy. Finally, one day, I completed the research on the new Energy Alloy. Only then did I realize that many years had passed. All these years, I had been called a fool, and at that time I was oblivious, passionately engrossed in this research."
"La Sang suggested that I join the army, to make a mark with my new Energy Alloy here and also to offer this perfect alloy to Your Majesty. I agreed, and La Sang told me that I was not alone."
At this point, Long Yi stepped back, and Elsa stepped forward, bowing to the Emperor and saying, "My story is similar to Henki’s, but my research is on automatic magic. I discovered that I could store some simple actions in the magic, which could then be operated automatically by the armor. So, I began to experiment continuously. Later, I was discovered by La Sang, who financed my research, and in return, I agreed to transfer the rights of this research to the La Sang Family in gratitude for their trust."
"So, you are representing the La Sang Family now, are you?" the Emperor asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty, if it weren’t for La Sang’s help, I might have been beaten to death somewhere as a fool," said Long Yi.
"All right, I understand. The La Sang Family naturally deserves credit, but how much credit will depend on how excellent your works are," the Emperor said.
Long Yi nodded and took out two Alloy shortswords from his personal space, handing them to an attendant of the Emperor. The attendant, initially taken aback, quickly passed the shortswords to the Emperor. Seeing the attendant’s change in behavior, the Emperor’s heartbeat instinctively quickened, and when he received the shortswords, he felt as if his heart was about to leap out!
Thirty percent! The attributes of the Energy Alloy had actually improved by thirty percent!
No wonder!
No wonder this Alloy Greatsword could cause the energy swords to break and ordinary alloy armor to disintegrate— it had actually been improved to this extent!
One shortsword was in the Emperor’s hands, while the other was passed around among the Ministers, each of whose face showed shock.
Initially, these Ministers hadn’t taken the new alloy seriously, for over the years, there had been people who claimed to bring monumental changes to Energy Alloy, but the actual impact had been marginal. Following years of development, Energy Alloy had almost reached its limits unless there emerged a design capable of making a real change.
Clearly, this was the design that made a real change.
A thirty percent enhancement in properties was truly a revolutionary change. Although these Ministers didn’t understand the exact structure of the metal, the sheer improvement in properties was enough to elevate a family from obscurity to the pinnacle!
The Emperor thought he was prepared, but clearly, this happiness had come too suddenly. He even began to feel pity for the worm species inhabiting the Prophet’s body, facing a group of warriors equipped with the new type of Energy Alloy, unable even to counterattack! Controlling The Forgotten meant that he could possibly control the entire multiverse. Then, would he enjoy first and then become a god, or simply enjoy forever without becoming a god— wouldn’t that be his choice to make?
The Emperor’s mind was filled with happiness. But he soon thought of Aisa.
