There's a big problem with dreams in this world.

If that weapon isn't that important, what's the harm in letting go?

Number Six reappeared behind Fang Qingrou, this time holding a dark red dagger.

"Um!?"

Number Six aimed his knife at Fang Qingrou's heart and stabbed her, but unexpectedly, he was suddenly met with resistance as the knife was about to strike.

"boom!!"

A violent gust of wind suddenly erupted from Fang Qingrou's center, and before anyone could react, Number Six was thrown to the ground by the gale.

[Storm Knight's Surge: This skill is a modified version of the Storm Knight's Blessing skill created by the player "Loves Donuts". It unleashes the surrounding gale in one go, creating a powerful shockwave that knocks enemies to the ground.]

"Boom!!!"

Then, Number Six was thrown to the ground. Before he could react, Fang Qingrou suddenly threw out three light black steel balls.

Shortly after being launched, these steel balls exploded violently, releasing a piercing sound. These steel balls, which were used to deal with Void Worms, were just as effective against humans!

She only had four steel balls on her when she went out this time. Apart from one that she was saving to deal with the Void Worm, she threw out the other three!

Even though Fang Qingrou was prepared in advance, and covered her ears while opening her mouth, and was surrounded by air currents, her eardrums were still throbbing with pain and bleeding.

If she was already in this state, then number six was even more vulnerable. The sound of three steel balls exploding simultaneously rang in her ears, making her dizzy and causing her to briefly lose consciousness.

Fang Qingrou certainly wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by, so she raised her crossbow and fired an enchanted arrow.

"Whoosh!!"

The enchanted arrow pierced Number Six's neck smoothly. Fang Qingrou stepped forward, carefully examined him, and only after confirming that he was definitely dead did she finally breathe a sigh of relief and sit down to rest.

She absolutely needs to rest; she's exhausted. In her current state, going to find Charles would only be a hindrance.

However, she won't be able to rest for too long...

P.S.: Sorry, there was an unexpected situation.

It was really an unexpected situation. My computer had a problem, so I wanted to reinstall the system. That wasn't a problem, as I had backed up all the necessary files, including my typing data and settings.

result!

I used a software called Mogu for writing before. I didn't know that the software had died out, the development team had run away, and the server crashed. I was able to open it without logging in because I had logged in before, and I had been using the offline version.

I exported the files this time, but after reinstalling the system, I can't log into this software anymore! The files I exported before are now unopenable!

Then, having no other choice, I switched to a different word processing software, and the result was...

The new word processing software uses a different file format than the previous one, so I couldn't import my files. I had to resort to a tedious method: manually going through the text, scrolling through it bit by bit, copying and pasting, and rearranging all the settings.

send!!

Chapter 495: The Emperor's Engine!

"Check every corner carefully, and don't miss anyone!"

"Where's the doctor? The doctor!"

"There's a child here, he's trapped in the basement! Someone come quick!"

......

"Phew, finally done." Letting out a long breath, Lu Qing wiped away the non-existent sweat from her head.

"Thank you for your hard work," Hao Meng said, standing beside Lu Qing.

It was already noon the next day. She had been directing the town's garrison to search for survivors. During this time, the Pope came by once, but after seeing that she had taken care of everything, he went back.

"Speaking of which..."

Lu Qing looked at Hao Meng standing next to her with a strange expression.

She knew Hao Meng's personality. She was curious when she first saw her. Logically speaking, without armor to cover her entire body, Hao Meng should have been easily embarrassed in front of so many guards.

And that was indeed the case, but Hao Meng forcibly suppressed all of this.

Her face turned red when she fought, and she didn't say a word, but she was very strong, which was why the guards would spontaneously follow her.

In their eyes, Hao Meng was the kind of female warrior who was powerful but didn't like to talk and was very aloof.

But Lu Qing, who knew Hao Meng well, knew that her silence wasn't due to aloofness, but simply because she was shy. Moreover, she could clearly hear the other person's rapid heartbeat from the beginning.

This is mainly because she has good hearing. Normal people obviously can't hear it. If the sound is really loud enough for an average person to hear it...

King Engine!!

"By the way, Mengmeng, where did your equipment go?" Lu Qing put away her scattered thoughts and looked at Hao Meng to ask.

"Because my background is that of an ordinary militiaman, I wear militia leather armor, and all the game props are kept in the basement of my house," Hao Meng said.

There were only the two of them in the tent at this moment. Hao Meng and Lu Qing were already quite familiar with each other, so they weren't too nervous when they talked.

"After that, go to your house and retrieve the equipment. If anyone asks you where the equipment came from, just say you took it from an enemy," Lu Qing said after thinking for a moment.

Of course, she didn't think anyone would be so idle as to ask Hao Meng.

"Mm." Hao Meng nodded softly.

After leaving the tent, Lu Qing followed Hao Meng to her home.

The place has been reduced to ruins, with piles of broken wood and stones.

"This is... just in case, I collapsed it myself," Hao Meng said after a slight pause.

"Hmm." Lu Qing nodded in understanding, knowing why Hao Meng did this.

It's highly likely that this was to prevent cultists or some other random people from coming to her house, finding the basement, and taking away the equipment inside.

Once the house is destroyed, no one will ever come again.

"Do you remember roughly where the basement is?" Lu Qing asked Hao Meng.

For ordinary people, clearing this ruin would be extremely difficult, but for her and Hao Meng, it was just a matter of time.

"Let me think... it's probably down here," Hao Meng said, pointing to a corner of the ruins.

“Okay, let’s start digging from here.” Lu Qing nodded.

"Okay." Hao Meng nodded, and then she and Lu Qing started clearing the ruins together.

In less than eight minutes, they successfully found the entrance to the basement and retrieved the armor that Hao Meng had hidden inside.

"Alright, let's get ready to go back." Lu Qing said, looking at Hao Meng, who visibly relaxed after putting on her armor.

"Mm." Hao Meng looked at Lu Qing, then said, "Thank you... thank you."

"Hmm?" Lu Qing was slightly taken aback. She looked at Hao Meng with a gentle smile and said, "You're welcome."

.......

When the two returned to their tent at the campsite, they found that there was an extra person inside.

"You're back, Your Highness," the Pope said with a smile to Lu Qing.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Hao Meng, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Hao Meng."

"..." Hao Meng pursed his lips slightly under his helmet, then nodded without saying a word.

The Pope didn't seem to care much about this, and looked at Lu Qing, saying, "Knight Myron and I have already taken care of the other two towns."

"I've sent a message to Fremures City about this matter; their people will take over here in about an hour."

"Have you found out what these Guiji believers are trying to do?" Lu Qing asked the Pope.

She had already interrogated the people she had captured, but unfortunately, she hadn't been able to get anything out of them. All those guys knew was that their orders were to attack the town and turn the blood of the dead into bloodstone.

But what these bloodstones are used for, that's something I really don't know.

"Unfortunately, I didn't get anything out of them." The Pope shook his head and said, "The people of the Guiji Sect are all like this. The more powerful they are, the more extreme their personalities become."

"Even if they know, they won't say anything. We can only send someone to investigate this matter."

"Isn't there some kind of magic that can directly search memories?" Lu Qing asked.

"There's no such thing as convenient magic." The Pope shook his head, then said, "Theoretically, it's possible, but a person's memory is so vast, how could magic possibly pinpoint the exact memory one wants?"

"And if you actually go and look into other people's memories, your own personality and thoughts might even change."

As a top-tier professional, the Pope had a profound understanding of magic and was well aware of the consequences if the magic Lu Qing mentioned were actually cast.

Memories are different from watching a movie. If you actually examine someone else's memories, what you experience is exactly what the person in question experienced.

You can sense sight, hearing, touch, and even the thoughts you had at the time.

If your brain memorizes other people's memories, then those memories become your own, which will definitely affect your personality.

"I see..." Lu Qing lowered her head slightly, feeling that what the Pope said made a lot of sense.

When she first transmigrated, and when her soul merged with the original owner's, their memories influenced each other, ultimately shaping her current personality.

Therefore, she must have a very good understanding of the feelings associated with memories.

.......

After waiting for more than forty minutes in the town, the people from Fremures finally arrived.

After the Pope and the leader chatted for a while, the group left the town. Before leaving, Lu Qing found a reason to get the Pope to take Hao Meng with him.

“Hao Meng is very skilled; it’s a waste for her to be a militia member in this small town,” Lu Qing said.

“The militia is only temporary; in fact, we intend to make Miss Hao Meng a trainee knight,” the leader from Fremures explained.

Hao Meng has received the blessing of the Sacred Tree [Weapon Mastery], how could we possibly let her be just an ordinary militia member?

“She has great talent; I can have Knight Myron teach her swordsmanship,” Lu Qing said.

"Sir Myron!?" The leader from Fremures looked at the Pope in surprise, wanting to know if it was true.

After all, although Lu Qing is indeed a princess, she is still a bit too young, and the Pope's answer would be more convincing.

"That's true, but whether Sir Myron can teach her depends on Sir Myron's decision," the Pope said with a somewhat helpless smile.

"It's alright, it's alright. If Sir Myron is unwilling, we can just send Miss Hao Meng back!" the leader from Fremures City quickly said.

Everyone knows who Knight Myron is. How could he possibly let Hao Meng give up such a great opportunity?
