Chapter Nine: The Family Heirloom of Li Ke Li

He does not continue to use the magical lightsaber for another reason: the lightsaber itself emits light, which has a drawback of making it very easy to become a target for enemies in the dark. Having spent some time in a thieves' guild, Adi understands very well how fatal it is to allow the enemy to discover oneself first

Adi maliciously thought: "If I can find energy crystals, or take these mechanical warriors to engage in no-cost transactions, it would be more profitable than selling them!" Having once participated in a thieves' guild, this young man, now on the run, was no stranger to such dealings

Pressing the button on the magical lightsaber, the blue and white magical blade slowly retracted into the hilt. Adi was very pleased with this weapon. He had already made up his mind to keep at least a few magical lightsabers as backups and would not sell them all.

Energy crystals are an extremely precious mineral, and nearly all magical weapons and magical machinery rely on the energy crystals embedded within them for power. In the wars between nations, those exceedingly rare products of magical technology will be one of the key factors determining victory or defeat. It is not an exaggeration to say that crystal veins are the lifeline of a nation.

The mechanical warrior was completely scrapped, leaning against the wall at an angle, seemingly rusted to the wall. After his initial surprise, Li Keli suddenly became ecstatic, reaching out to explore the mechanical warrior's right hand. He indeed discovered a slender short iron rod. After he struggled to pry open the completely rusted right hand of the mechanical warrior and took the object into his hand, he pressed it confidently, and an orange-yellow beam of light pierced through the darkness.

Adi pondered quietly for a moment, then let out a soft laugh, speaking to himself: "Although I am confident in my swordsmanship, it seems you now have a better opponent! Hmm, it feels great to have subordinates; let’s send out Number One to deal with Li Ke Li and the other royal guard!"

Adidas retracted the magical lightsaber, not wanting to waste the energy of the crystals unnecessarily

Relying on the keen senses honed through years of rigorous sword training, along with a thorough memorization of the labyrinth's map, Adi navigated the darkness with ease. Utilizing the faint glow emitted by the sensor magic eye of the mechanical warrior, which maintained a certain distance from him, he slowly searched for enemies that could be hidden anywhere.

The sleeveless leather armor has a large opening at the shoulders, which not only facilitates arm movement but also allows for easy access to the chest. On the battlefields of the Great Stone Dynasty's campaigns against various foes, one could often see a mechanical warrior commander proudly clasping his hands together, skillfully manipulating magical contract cards from within his attire. This exuded an air of grandeur, as if in the midst of conversation, the masts and sails of enemies were reduced to ashes. Many artworks passed down from the Great Stone Dynasty depict such a commander.

The structure of a magical lightsaber is not complex. The metallic hilt of the lightsaber itself serves as a launcher, housing a high-purity energy crystal that acts as the primary energy source. For a magical lightsaber, the purity of the energy crystal is crucial, as it determines the sharpness of the blade. The runes embedded in the hilt of the lightsaber dictate its attributes. High-purity energy crystals are also the raw material for crafting magical gems. Once sealed with a certain spell, the crystal, which is as transparent as water, will change color depending on the nature of the sealed magic.

Such processed magical gems can no longer have their attributes altered.

Although this magical beam sword appears rather peculiar, it greatly boosted Li Ke Li's confidence. However, the moment he obtained this magical beam sword, he changed his mind and decided to treat this magical weapon as a family heirloom, to be passed down through generations, rather than exchanging it for wealth and glory

With a crisp sound, Li Keli accidentally kicked something with his foot, causing the already startled captain of the guards to hurriedly brandish his longsword. The clanging of steel and the sparks flying from the slashes revealed to Li Keli that he was facing a pile of rusted remnants of mechanical warriors.

Adi also imitated the appearance of the ancient commanders of the Great Stone Dynasty as depicted in the textbook, reaching into his bosom to effortlessly summon the mechanical warrior numbered "1". He entered the command to search for enemies on the magical contract card, watching with a smile as the mechanical warrior's feet emitted magical flames, swiftly plunging into the darkness

Magic Beam Sword! It truly is a magic beam sword, Adi! The next time we meet will be your moment of demise; do not blame me for being ruthless.

When the beam of the magical lightsaber vanished, the hall returned to the darkness that was meant to be. Adi hung the hilt of the magical lightsaber at his waist for easy access, drew his longsword, and followed the mechanical warrior numbered "1" into the darkness.

An energy crystal, regardless of its size, is a controlled resource by the national military and is extremely difficult to obtain; even having money does not guarantee its purchase. Adi does not want his magical lightsaber to become merely a decorative item due to the depletion of energy crystals

As long as I return to the capital, I will undoubtedly become a renowned hero. You, the wretched offspring of the Landak family, wait for me; I will eventually sever your head to claim my merit... This desperate youth, who has resorted to the most venomous curses to find himself in such an embarrassing situation, Li Keli is also searching for a way to escape.

There are only six mineral veins in the entire Ice Continent, all controlled by several powerful empires. Within the territory of the Golden Moon Dynasty, there is also one such vein, and each successive emperor of the Golden Moon Dynasty would dispatch one of their most trusted legions to garrison near that mineral vein

According to the legend from https://m.hetushu.com, the silver dragon, which symbolizes the imperial power of the Golden Moon Dynasty and was worn by the crown prince, is of the frozen beam type. Any object that comes into contact with this magical sword will be frozen to a stone-like hardness, forever losing its vitality.

The mechanical warriors, who had been given the command to guard the labyrinth, were not something Li Keli could face alone. Fortunately, after a previous experience, as soon as he heard the buzzing sound of the flame thrower, Li Keli would immediately flee in the opposite direction without a second thought. Additionally, after more than 1,000 years of prolonged time, many mechanical warriors had naturally worn down to the point where they could no longer perform their combat functions, which allowed Li Keli to escape from danger several times with nothing more than a scare.

Unlike the fortunate youth, Li Keli's luck could be described as having reached its nadir. In his hasty battle with the mechanical warrior, although he narrowly escaped with his life, he lost his way in a chaotic flight. He did not find any treasures of the Great Stone Dynasty, yet he repeatedly encountered patrolling mechanical warriors

Weapons should always be used in the most appropriate context, which is also one of the maxims upheld by Adidas

The magic lightsaber in Adi's hand is the most versatile type for cutting with heat; it can effortlessly slice through steel and rock, cleaving them in two.
