Chapter 302 I won’t believe even a single punctuation mark
"Your Highness, Miss Crown Guard."
Soon, someone came to greet him.
His face looked a little tired, but his eyes were very lively, and his face was somewhat similar to Wenhua De.
It was Minister Smit. He looked at the two and said, "Please move."
At this time, the Forbidden Demon Statue had been moved to an open area, and the experiment began waiting for Lu Qi's arrival.
When they arrived, there was already a core group of people here, numbering about sixty or seventy, and Frey was among them.
"Good morning, Aunt Frey!"
Lux greeted her with bright eyes.
"Good morning, Miss Crown Guard."
Frey chuckled and spoke back to her.
"Is this the stone sculpture made by the Forbidden Demon Statue Department?"
Lux looked towards the middle of the field, quite interested.
Although she learned the news quite early, this was the first time she saw this stone sculpture.
It stood there, indeed very eye-catching, about five meters high, like a prostrate beast.
The whole body is snow white with golden carvings.
It looks like a lion and leopard, with an elegant and slender figure. Even though its entire body is made of forbidden magic stone, thanks to the exquisite craftsmanship of the craftsmen, you can still see that its body is smooth and smooth, as white and smooth as fur.
It has no eyes, but it does not affect the overall viewing.
"This statue was completed yesterday. It took more than a month and consumed the energy of countless craftsmen."
Smit stepped forward and briefly introduced the statue.
There are already five mages on standby, and many people are looking forward to the next moment.
Whether their hard work can be realized and whether it can be achieved depends on what happens next.
"Everyone, get ready!"
Smit raised his hand and said loudly and solemnly.
Immediately, the five mages raised their staffs one after another. The front of the staffs lit up with light, and the aura of magic began to surround the air.
"Forbidden Demon Statue Activation Plan, Start!"
Smit gave the order.
The five mages released the magic power of the staff at the same time.
The five magic strands flew towards the standing demon-forbidden statue like chains, and then hit it without causing any damage.
It's like being swallowed. This is the characteristic of the forbidden magic stone, which can absorb magic.
As the magic power fills up, the entire statue of the forbidden demon lights up slightly with fluorescence, and the outer shell exudes a faint texture.
Everyone focused their attention on the statue, even Lux watched quietly.
As time passed, the five mages began to exhaust themselves one after another due to the continuous use of magic, and they stopped one by one.
Panting.
One, two, three, four
When only one person was left holding on, the snow-white statue of the Forbidden Demon remained motionless in place.
"It's just a statue after all."
I don’t know who said it.
So more and more people feel discouraged.
Including Smit, the frustration was palpable. He sighed: "Is it still too difficult to replicate the techniques of our ancestors?"
He had particularly admired his ancestor Dulang since he was a child. For a period of time, he read everything about Dulang day and night.
On the day when the hero Galio came into the world, he thought it was time for him to go out and carry forward the great achievements of his ancestors.
However, after trying for so long, I still failed in the end.
Finally, the last mage couldn't hold on anymore, gave up and fell to the ground, gasping for air.
However, the statue remained motionless.
Lux couldn't bear that everyone's achievements would end like this, so she took a step forward and said, "I'll give it a try."
Maybe it's because of light magic?
She guessed in her mind.
But before she could take action, Lu Qi grabbed her and gently pulled her back by her slender arm: "Don't worry, let's take a look."
Lux was puzzled and glanced at Lu Qi, finding that his eyes were still looking forward seriously.
So he calmed down and looked over.
Everyone placed their hope on this last moment, staring nervously at the Forbidden Demon Statue.
Suddenly, there was a "click" and a stiff sound of movement came in the air.
Everyone was stunned, and someone rubbed his eyes: "I don't know if it's my imagination, but it seems to have raised its head."
Although at first glance, the statue seems to be the same as before, some people always feel that the statue just raised its head.
Smit said firmly: "It's not an illusion!"
His eyes lit up with hope. He looked at the statue hopefully, and his expression gradually turned to excitement.
It moved, indeed it moved!
Even if it was just a slight moment, but he was looking at it so focused, how could it be an illusion!
The next second, there was another "Gada" sound. This time everyone was sure that they had seen it correctly. The statue had indeed moved!
Another second passed, and the Forbidden Demon Statue suddenly seemed to come alive. It took a step forward as a whole and changed its movement from a sitting position to a standing position with all fours on the ground.
In the next few seconds, people witnessed with their own eyes the process of the forbidden demon statue coming from death to life.
I can see with my own eyes that the movements of holding it become more and more natural, and the amplitude becomes larger. Later, this stone sculpture really looked like a giant beast with four limbs, moving freely in the open area.
It stretched first, and its body seemed to have grown one meter longer. Then it looked at the sky, opened its mouth, and let out an excited roar: "Roar!!"
It seems to be celebrating its own birth. It is like a newly born cub, curious about everything in the real world.
Even though the craftsman didn't carve eyes for it, it can clearly see everything around it.
Especially those humans with two feet on the ground, a sense of intimacy in their bones makes it know that these people are its parents.
"It's done, it's really done!"
Smit's teeth were chattering with excitement, and he walked tremblingly. With tears in his eyes, he approached the stone sculpture of the Forbidden Demon.
"careful."
Someone reminded me worriedly.
This forbidden demon stone sculpture has just woken up, and no one dares to approach it.
But Smit turned a deaf ear and still walked towards the stone sculpture step by step.
The stone carving also noticed Smit walking towards him, and seemed to be walking towards him out of doubt and curiosity.
Then it seemed to sniff its nose, smelling a good smell from Smit, and came closer.
There is a sense of intimacy in the bones that makes it like the human being in front of it at first sight.
Smit raised his hand, and the stone sculpture also lowered its head in response, letting him stroke its head.
Many people couldn't help but applaud and looked equally excited.
For them, this will be the day they witness a new era in Demacia.
The plan to build the forbidden magic stone statue was successful!
Lu Qi was also quite emotional when he saw the scene in front of him.
In his memory, there were indeed craftsmen who replicated Durang's legendary craftsmanship and successfully created a new generation of forbidden demon statues.
So from the beginning to the end, he always believed that these talented craftsmen would be able to succeed.
"It's really done!"
Lux clapped her hands excitedly, her bright eyes flashing with beauty.
She thought it was time to share the good news with Galio, who would soon have many brothers and sisters.
The plan for the forbidden magic stone statue came to a successful conclusion, which gave Lu Qi a new plan in his mind.
After testing, the total magic power of the five mages can probably make the Forbidden Demon Stone Sculpture move for about 20 minutes.
Twenty minutes later, as if he felt that his life was declining, the Forbidden Demon Stone Sculpture was not afraid, but slowly changed back to its original movements, and finally became motionless.
"It's naturally not feasible for us to continuously provide it with magic power. However, the great thing about the Forbidden Magic Stone Statue is that it can actively find sources of power on the battlefield."
Smit said with still excited tone.
If the autobiography of ancestor Du Lang was not lost, then it must have mentioned the method of making and using the Forbidden Demon Stone statue.
The purpose of developing the Forbidden Demon Stone Statue is to fight against those mages that Demacia does not have on the battlefield.
They absorb the power of mages to revive. As long as the enemy has mages on the battlefield, they can obtain a steady stream of power.
Although these have been lost now, hundreds of years later, he once again recreated the glory of his ancestors.
This makes Smit extremely proud.
"Congratulations."
Lu Qi sent congratulations and was also sincerely happy for him.
It is because of the hard work of these people that Demacia will have a better tomorrow.
After leaving the Forbidden Demon Statue Department.
Lu Qi still had some things to deal with at the Mage Association, so he said to Little Golden Retriever, "You go for a walk first, and I'll go do something."
Lux asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
"It's a surprise, you'll know when the time comes."
Lu Qi smiled mysteriously.
Lux suddenly became very interested: "What's the surprise? Can you tell me a little bit about it?"
"You'll know when the time comes anyway."
Seeing that this girl wanted to follow her shamelessly, Lu Qi directly extended his ruthless iron hand and expressed his rejection.
Miss Crown Guard, who had her face covered and retreated, could only look at him with a somewhat resentful look.
It was okay if he didn't say it, but now that he said it, it made her feel very itchy.
What is the surprise?
Seeing Lu Qi leave, Lux pursed her lips, but still did not follow him. She wandered around the association boredly, killing time while waiting for him.
Lucci and Frey went to the third underground floor.
Dream Network Research Laboratory.
The little black dog lay lazily on the ground and yawned out of boredom. He was quite enjoying his current leisurely life.
Apart from being treated like a dog all day long, there is nothing bad about it.
Soon, he saw Lu Qi and Frey walking towards him, and he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
After all, these humans couldn't bear it anymore and decided to come and take action against him?
After hearing their plan, the little black dog concluded that these humans 100% needed his help.
"Ahem, little black dog, let's discuss something."
Lu Qi walked up to him, coughed slightly and said, "You can talk now."
"What's the matter?"
The little black dog speaks human words, but puts on airs inexplicably.
He knew that these humans were now asking for help from him, so naturally he had to take a higher stance.
His movements were still lying on his back nonchalantly.
Lu Qi was not angry and said in a gentle tone: "You should have heard about the dream network a few days ago. I need your help."
When the little black dog heard it, the corner of his mouth curved: "I can do what you said easily. It's probably just a thought, but why should I help you?"
He was sealed in the body of this black dog and was treated undignified all day long. He was shouted at and beaten at every turn.
Now that I'm asking for help from him, he looks good?
Oh, it's too late!
He knew that these humans could forcefully control his body, but what was the use of that?
They needed him to enter the spiritual realm after all.
Lu Qi said: "As long as I can give you your freedom."
The little black dog opened his lazy eyes a little wider this time: "It doesn't matter to others, but I won't believe even a single punctuation mark in the words coming out of your mouth."
If you say you are free, you will be free again. He would be stupid if he really believed it.
Some humans are worse than demons at heart, just like the guy in front of me.
Moreover, what Nocturne actually needs is to enter the spiritual realm, freedom or not. He believes that everything depends on himself.
At this time, by putting on a high profile and acting like it requires conditions, I also want these humans to take it lightly.
He knew that these two humans still had concerns about returning him to the spiritual realm.
However, Nocturne is sure that they no longer have any means to restrict him. It will be sooner or later to discuss this matter!
"Indeed, I never thought about returning your freedom."
Lu Qi had a look of being seen through.
The little black dog chuckled, not surprised at all. Even if Lu Qi didn't tell him honestly, he wouldn't believe it.
"But you also know that letting you return to the spiritual realm is no different from letting a tiger return to its mountain. We are still a little worried."
Lu Qi suddenly said everything frankly.
The little black dog looked at him, wondering what this guy wanted to express.
If these humans really cancel this plan, then he is actually still a little cracked.
After all, contact with the spiritual realm may be the only way to regain your freedom.
A confident smile appeared on Lu Qi's lips: "So, I have prepared a contract here. The contract is reinforced by magic and has special power. I think you can take a look first."
Lu Qi slowly took out an ordinary paper contract, only a single page of yellowed paper.
On it, there are only a few simple contents written.
Among them, his name Nocturne was mentioned.
Seeing his name written on the contract, Nocturne frowned slightly, but didn't care.
Some magicians can use the devil's name to do things that harm the devil, but in his current situation, being known by his name can no longer hurt him.
The contents of the contract written above are as follows.
One: After signing the contract, the contract automatically comes into effect and cannot be violated by both parties.
Second: After the contract is signed, Party A, Luqi, agrees to return the freedom of Nocturne to Party B after sixty years. This agreement will automatically take effect when it expires.
Third: After the contract is signed, Party B Nocturne must unconditionally obey Party A’s orders from Lu Qi and cannot disobey them.
Need to know: Party A has a dominant position in this contract. Once signed, Party B will not violate Party A's wishes.
Party A’s signature office:
Party B’s signature office:
The content of the contract is that simple.
