After listening to the story told by Brianna, Li Guanqi finally understood.
"So Karl fulfilled his original vow. The reason why he committed the crime of killing fellow tribesmen in his own tribe and in many Milne tribes was because the people he killed were all those... who had participated in
The minotaur who raped the girl.
Including the hunting captain of his original tribe.
The reason why he killed was to avenge his former childhood sweetheart. For this reason, he even hesitated to be expelled from the Milne clan. He completely lost his foothold on the grassland. In the end, he had to live in the Sakura Shogunate to find another way out, and finally became a
Mercenary."
"Mr. Carl is a good man."
Brianna lowered her head and said softly.
"The cooks in the tribe, generally orcs like this, are all orcs who cannot break into the one-dimensional level after they reach adulthood."
Sophia was very surprised by this incident, "Under such circumstances, how did Karl grow to the peak of the Five Elements level?"
"Who knows?"
Brianna smiled, "Everyone is likely to have adventures, right? Obviously, Mr. Carl is lucky. He got this opportunity and the ability to avenge his childhood sweetheart."
"..."
After receiving such an explanation, Sophia had nothing to say.
"So that's what happened?"
Li Guanqi frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "Because Karl has experienced it, he knows that if a girl is forced to marry a husband she doesn't like but is very powerful, she is destined to encounter misfortune.
So last year, after Karl met you, he heard that you were about to be forced to get married. He was moved by the scene and thought of his childhood sweetheart. He couldn't bear it and didn't want you to end up like his childhood sweetheart.
.
Because of this, Carl decided to help you."
"Yes."
Brianna nodded slightly, "The night before the wedding, I hid in my room crying. Mr. Carl who was passing by heard me. After asking about my situation, he decided to help me. I am very grateful to Mr. Carl. He saved the life of me.
My life."
"The problem is, he clearly has several better ways to solve your problem."
Sophia looked puzzled, and finally shook her head helplessly, "But he chose the worst and most speechless method. Sure enough, the rumors were not false. The tauren don't like to think. All of them
He is a reckless man."
Forehead……
Hearing this, Li Guanqi couldn't help but look at her in astonishment.
This sentence is a direct racial attack...
However, considering the strength of the lion-headed people on the grassland, Sophia, as a lion-headed person, has no taboos in her evaluation of the tauren, which seems reasonable.
What's more, the person in front of them was just a one-level female tauren.
And the most important thing is that even Li Guanqi has to admit that what Karl did was indeed very, very, very brainless, a kind of brainlessness that is completely difficult to understand.
There are so many methods that can be used, why choose the worst method?
What can Carl do to save Brianna and prevent her from marrying the minotaur?
There are too many methods.
For example, the simplest one.
As a different-blood tauren at the peak of the Five Elements level, Carl could have taken Brianna away from Ping'an Jing and gone to another big city to remain anonymous, and then leave all his property to her, and finally find a place to die quietly.
.
Isn't this better?
And there was Brianna who helped bury the body.
But what did Carl do?
Robbery on the wedding day...
Yes, it is true that slandering Brianna's reputation can indeed make the male tauren regret his marriage to her, but the price of slander is not small for women.
Moreover, Karl himself was caught and beheaded. Even if he wanted to die, there was no need to choose such a tragic death method...
The point is, there's absolutely no need to do this.
Karl clearly had many better options, but in the end he used the stupidest method.
This made Li Guanqi unable to understand.
"wrong."
Li Guanqi suddenly frowned.
If the truth has been revealed, why hasn’t [Mystery of the Minotaur] indicated that the mission has been completed?
So the truth has not fully emerged yet!
There must be another reason for Karl to do this!
"Brianna."
Li Guanqi looked at the female tauren and said in a deep voice: "You should know that this method is actually not good, and can even be called stupid. Was it you who proposed this method, or was it Karl who requested it?"
"Of course Mr. Carl."
Brianna hesitated a little after hearing this, "To be honest, this method... is really not very clever. Considering Mr. Karl's situation, there are indeed many ways to help me.
But the situation at that time was that I needed help. How could I dare to ask for more?
I'm afraid that if I talk too much, Mr. Carl will find me annoying and leave.
He was my only life-saving straw at that time, and I didn't dare to say anything.
Therefore, after Mr. Carl proposed this method, although I felt that there was a better way, I didn't say much. I just listened to Mr. Carl's advice and accepted his help. Although it was not perfect, I was very satisfied with the outcome.
"
"But this is completely wrong."
Li Guanqi became more and more surprised, "No normal person would make such a decision. This... is so strange. How could he think of such a bad solution?"
What kind of brain circuit is this?
Doesn't it mean that the intelligence of orcs is the same as that of humans?
This is totally not the way a normal person’s brain works.
"Speaking of normal..."
Brianna looked down at the boiling water. After hesitating for a while, she still said: "I felt that Mr. Karl did look a little abnormal that day. From the time he listened to me describing the situation, he looked...
He seemed a bit in a trance when he was up there, and his mind wandered every once in a while."
"oh?"
Li Guanqi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"There is indeed a problem."
Sophia also frowned.
"I need to know more."
Li Guanqi looked at Brianna and said seriously: "You inherited half of Carl's property, so did you find anything strange among his belongings? For example, a report that can prove his mental condition? Or a diary?
If he has the habit of writing a diary, then hopefully we can figure it out!"
"I didn't see the diary."
Brianna shook her head, thought for a while, and said: "The people from the Law Enforcement Department took away most of Mr. Carl's money, gold coins, and easily realizable property. The other half was left to me, including a lot of Mr. Carl's miscellaneous items.
Item, I didn’t find any diary in it, but..."
At this point, the female tauren took out a strange black and gold box from the space ring in her hand.
"I found this. This is the only thing in Mr. Carl's inheritance that cannot be opened.
People from the Law Enforcement Department said that this is a magical rune box. If you do not have the specific rune unlocking serial number and forcefully open it, the self-destruction program of the magical rune box will be activated and all items in it will be destroyed.
The people from the Law Enforcement Department couldn't open it, and they said that if there was no password, no one in the world could open it unless a Bagua-level conjurer was invited to do it.
So just leave it to me."
With that said, Brianna handed the black gold box to Li Guanqi and said softly: "If Mr. Carl has any secrets, maybe it's in this box."
"But I can't open the magic machine box either..."
Li Guanqi took it with both hands, but when he looked at the black gold box in his hands, which had no gaps and seemed to be a solid block of iron, with exquisite and complicated relief patterns on the surface, he gritted his teeth in embarrassment.
The Divine Machine Rune Box is a top-notch password box with a self-destruct program. Its price is comparable to a set of sixth-level soul-ascension arrays, or even a little more expensive.
There is a small space array inside it. As long as the password is incorrect more than three times, the space array will be activated. Anything placed inside will be exiled into the space turbulence in an instant, and will be nowhere to be found.
.
In other words, even those who have mastered the laws of space at the Liuhe level or the Seventh level can't do anything about it. There is no way to take out the items in the box through the space cracks.
Because once the space fluctuations go wrong, the space array built into the divine machine rune box will also be activated, expelling the items in the box.
"Hey, isn't this an empty box?"
At this time, the voice of the magic knife suddenly sounded in Li Guanqi's mind.
"Times have changed, broken knife."
Shunkong's voice immediately sounded, "In this day and age, this thing is called the Divine Machine Rune Box. It was only 'invented' by a Daluo magician named Chang Leiji 2,600 years ago. I guess,
This should be that Chang Lei found an empty box in an ancient ruins. After figuring out the principle, he changed the name and issued it as his own invention patent. "
"Oh."
Demon Knife sneered.
"Hello!"
Listening to their conversation, Li Guanqi couldn't help but feel happy, "Then do you have a way to crack this?!"
"No."
The magic knife said directly: "For you now, this thing is unsolvable. After all, you are not that big-faced now. You can find a Bagua-level conjurer to help... Oh, no.
, you set out now to find the Jiugong-level Tokugawa Shinji, maybe he can help find one for you."
“Bullshit!“
Shunkong responded quickly, his voice full of triumph, "Badao, have you forgotten? With Shunkong here, why do you need so much trouble! Shunkong is the one I fuck! Does Shunkong-sama know?!"
"How is that possible?"
Demon Sword was extremely surprised, "When did you get the empty box? I remember you didn't have this ability? After all, you don't have any power at all, okay? You're just an auxiliary artifact."
"Your memories are really sealed..."
Shunkong was at a loss for words for a moment, "When I got rid of the empty box once, it was to help your Lord Killer steal the belongings of the goddess in his dream, okay?"
"What the hell is this happening?!"
The Demon Sword was immediately shocked, "The first master also has the goddess in his dream? Who is it?!"
"I'm too lazy to talk."
Shunkong was speechless, "You will be able to remember it later when your memory is unblocked. There is no use talking about it now."
"that is!"
Li Guanqi quickly echoed, "Lumo, don't talk nonsense, Shunkong, hurry up and help get this box, I want to take out the contents!"
"Hey, Master, you should be really lucky now that you have accepted Sophia as your follower."
Shunkong smiled, "What the Demon Sword said before is right, I am just an auxiliary artifact and do not have any power on its own, so I really cannot open the Chaotic Box by myself, but I only need to have a mastery
With the Liuhe level who knows the law of space present, I can help shield the space array inside the empty box so that it will not activate."
"oh."
When Li Guanqi heard this, he immediately understood and turned to look at Sophia beside him, "So, now I only need to ask Sophia to use the law of space to directly take the things in the box, and I don't need to worry about anything else?"
"Just leave everything else to me."
Shunkong's voice was full of confidence.
"Alice."
Li Guanqi looked at Sophia, called her pseudonym, and handed the magic rune box in his hand to her, "Use the law of space to take out the contents inside."
The nature of the name Alice in the Tulip Empire is equivalent to that of Zhang Wei there in the modern era. It is an extremely common popular name and is perfect for use as a pseudonym.
"ah?"
Sophia took the magic rune box blankly, glanced down, and then looked at Li Guanqi hesitantly, "Although I haven't read any books, I have seen people use this box. Once the law of space is used, it will automatically
If it is destroyed, everything inside will fall into the cracks in space and be cut into pieces by the turbulent flow of space."
"Just do as I say."
Li Guanqi said seriously.
"Oh well."
Sofia looked at his serious expression and finally nodded. She held the magic rune box in her left hand and slowly stretched her right hand towards the side.
"Buzz——"
There were ripples in the space, and Sophia's outstretched hand seemed to be submerged in a curtain of water, starting from the fingertips to the wrist, and everything disappeared.
She opened a space crack, and at the other end of the crack was the inside of the divine machine box.
Through this crack, she can reach in and take out the contents of the magic machine box.
But the problem is that one of the functions of the Divine Machine Rune Box is to directly start the self-destruction program when abnormal spatial fluctuations are detected.
But now... there is no sign of this.
"Eh?"
Sophia couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw this, "It's okay?"
Brianna next to her was also shocked. It turned out that this beautiful Tulip woman was actually a Liuhe-level existence!
soon.
Sophia pulled out her right hand from the space crack, and in her right hand was a space ring.
"Success!"
Sophia looked at Li Guanqi in surprise.
Li Guanqi also smiled and praised the biggest contributor to this matter in his mind: "I really have you, Shunkong. As expected of you, you are much more useful than Lumo."
"Hahaha! Of course, hahahaha!"
Of course he knew how to praise someone, but this time the praise was so critical that it made Shunkong burst into laughter.
"hehe."
If the Demon Sword had a face, it would definitely be expressionless at this moment.
"Then now...it's time to take a look."
Li Guanqi took the space ring from Sophia's hand and began to check what was inside.
At first glance, he was a little stunned.
They are all notebooks, countless diaries, neatly placed and piled in the storage space, and they are all marked with serial numbers, from the 1 on the far left to the number at the back.
"So many diaries?"
Li Guanqi started reading from the first book and read quickly.
The good news is that Karl, a tauren, obviously has the habit of keeping a diary, which is very good for Li Guanqi.
The not-so-good news is that his habit of writing a diary is to write a diary once a day... Since he was 21 years old, after learning to read and write in the tribe, he has been writing a diary once a day, and he has become a diary lover in the true sense.
Li Guanqi had no choice but to read it from the beginning, not daring to let go of any page.
Fortunately, with his current soul strength and ability to read information, it didn't take long to read all of Karl's life diaries.
Karl, this five-element-level different-blood tauren, lived a total of 413 years.
He started keeping a diary when he was 21 years old, so the diary written in the space ring has a total of 143,080 pages.
And many times, he writes in diaries in detail. Even if there is nothing important, he will write down what scenery he saw today and what ants or bugs were running on the ground.
Many of his diaries exceed a hundred words in length.
Although there are diaries with only a few numbers, there are also diaries with nearly a thousand words. Based on a rough calculation of an average of 100 words per page, there are actually 14,308,000 words of diaries written.
In other words, Karl lived for more than four hundred years and actually wrote a diary of approximately 14 million words.
Even though Li Guanqi has a sixth-level soul, he still felt a little numb at first, and even more drowsy in the middle.
But a sixth-level soul is a sixth-level soul after all. After a few minutes, he finished reading the 14 million words and found the information he wanted.
