Andrew didn't know that for Gong Hao, the alchemy experiment was actually the time for him to relax.
During the two years he had lived on Purgatory Island, he had to rack his brains every day to survive. In order to resist, he had to rack his brains. Even so, all kinds of risks always accompanied him.
Killing Neil, killing Pierre, and even making a deal with Bailey and the others, everything was filled with huge risks.
The reason why he was able to live until now was not only because of his wisdom and hard work, but also because of luck.
If it wasn't for the new tenant who had turned into a cocoon to help him completely remove the Soul Seed in his body when he killed Neil, he would have already died.
If he didn't have the little princess's love, he might not have been able to make it past the one-year deadline either. Instead, he would have been forced to escape on a raft and eventually die on the Sea of Death.
If his soul spell didn't have the desired effect, Pierre might not fall for it, and all his plans would be in vain.
If Chakley had chosen to expose him instead of accepting the benefits, then he would also be facing a disaster.
There were too many uncertain factors, and no conspiracy or scheme could be flawless.
Whether it was a flaw in the plan or a flaw in the execution, it could topple him to the ground.
To Gong Hao, this was a war. He had to defeat an army alone, an elite army.
Not only did he have to do every job well, but he also had to cultivate hard. He also had to find the enemy's weakness from time to time and then deliver a fatal blow.
If there was one thing that made him feel fortunate on this island, it was that his understanding of magic was deepening day by day, and his ability was also improving day by day.
During this period of time, he had continuously deepened his cultivation of soul spells through alchemy, and there were already signs of a breakthrough. The progress of his wind ability had also exceeded his expectations, and there were signs of a breakthrough.
It was only then that he remembered what Kloss had said. A person with the Elemental Shock ability meant that he was extremely talented in this element.
It was no wonder that he was able to gradually make a breakthrough even though he did not put much effort into wind magic.
Although Lancelot claimed that diligence was the most important talent, sometimes talent itself could really make people do more with less.
Thinking of this, Gong Hao sighed softly and flipped open the information about Lancelot.
——————————————————
The Southern Family could be said to be the oldest family in the Lance Empire. Their history was even longer than the empire itself.
Speaking of the Southern Family, perhaps many people did not understand the meaning of this name, but when it came to another name, the Rose Family, perhaps many people would understand.
Back then, the founding monarch of the Lance Empire, Edie. Strick was the most outstanding member of the Rose Family. The Rose Legion that he established in the name of Edie Molzt had once swept across the Northern Continent and won countless battles before finally establishing the Kingdom of Lance.
The Southern families became famous because of this.
However, the establishment of the Rance Kingdom and the rise of Edie. Strick's glorious achievements were not a good thing for the southern families. In fact, it was almost a disaster.
Because of Edie. Stricker was an abandoned bastard of a Southern family, and Moltster was the surname of his poor maid mother.
From the day he was born, he almost had nothing to do with the southern families. In his mind, the southern families were his enemies, not his relatives.
Therefore, in Edie. After Strick established the Lance Kingdom, the southern families did not become prominent because of this. Instead, they suffered from his merciless suppression.
This suppression only ended when Edie died due to a relapse of his old injuries, and the Southern families regained their chance to rise again.
Edie. Strick's death gave the Southern families a chance. This was because the founding monarch of the Lance Kingdom had never had any descendants. However, he had a half-brother named Dan. Strick.
In the month after Edie's death, Dan requested to take over as Edith Tricke's younger brother.
However, this result was not accepted by the public.
Charles, a subordinate of Edith Tricke, directly accused Dan of not being qualified to inherit the throne.
Charles and the southern families thus launched a war, but in the end, no one could win, because at that time, a man named George Fran appeared. He claimed to be the illegitimate son of Edie, and with this identity, he defeated two teams at the same time and ascended the throne, becoming the second Strick.
Later, people found out that George Fran and Edie were not related by blood, but he was indeed Edie's godson.
Just like that, George Foran changed his name to George. Strick began to rule the Lance Kingdom, while the Southern Family, the legitimate royal family, received a ruthless cold reception.
Although Georgiana Fran acknowledged the royal status of the southern families on the surface, the southern families did not receive any substantial benefits other than the recognition of their reputation.
In fact, George Fran had always been wary of the Southern families, not allowing any of them to endanger their existence.
This was perhaps the most awkward royal family on the continent.
The people of the southern families had never been proud of this.
In the process of George Fran ruling the kingdom, he gradually had his own descendants. Although his family still belonged to the southern family in name, they were completely different in essence.
Later generations called it the Glory Family.
This was unique to the Lance Empire. One country, two royalty.
The southern families then put down politics and focused on business. In order to make the family prosper again, they gave up their noble status and re-established the family management organization. At the same time, they wantonly recruited business talents. One by one, young people with business talents entered the southern families and became their pillars.
While the blood of the Pride families was becoming purer and purer, the Southern families had become more and more mixed and large due to the addition of a large number of new blood.
These outsiders had restored the glory of the southern families, but they had also made the southern families no longer solely ruled by the Strick family name.
One of the surnames was Lott, which was the most important surname of the Southern families.
This surname was originally not related to the eight sons of Strick, but now it had a prominent position in the southern family.
Seeing this, Gong Hao sighed in his heart.
It could be said that this was the blood and tears of a family's growth.
In order to revive the family and survive, the southern family had paid a huge price. They gave up the nobility of the Strick family name and formed this huge business family through a large number of marriages with outstanding young people from outside.
As for Lancelot, he was a replica of Edith Tricke. His father, Bertlot, was the acting chief of the Southern family and the actual ruler. However, Lancelot himself was Bertlot's illegitimate son. The southern families were very kind to others, but they hated illegitimate children. This might be the result of the Rose Monarch.
As a result, Bertlot's wife, Anita Stricker, the current head of the Southern Family, was determined not to allow Lancelot to enter the family.
Although many people with other surnames had entered the Southern family, and the patriarch was no longer the actual ruler, the status of the Strick surname in the Southern family was still unshakable.
Thus, Lancelot became an orphan.
As for why Lancelot had come to Purgatory Island, according to Bailey's information, he seemed to have offended someone he shouldn't have offended for a woman. At that time, Lancelot wasn't as powerful as he was now. That big shot only needed to wave his hand to send him over.
As a result, Lancelot became the youngest quasi-sage in the Lance Empire.
If he were to go out now, he reckoned that Strick the Sixth would have to be polite to him.
He wondered how the southern families would treat this quasi-sage level expert.
Gong Hao was quite interested.
There was no doubt that Lancelot wanted to go home now.
——————————————
"Sir Lancelot." Arriving at the lake, Gong Hao smiled at Lancelot, who walked out of the wooden house in a sorry state.
His entire body was smoking.
"Damn it, Xiu Yi, why is cooking so difficult?”Lancelot's roar shook the earth. After Gong Hao became Heinze's assistant, Lancelot no longer had the chance to taste the food Gong Hao made for him. He had no choice but to continue cooking by himself and continue to fail.
"I think…perhaps it's because it doesn't allow you to obtain the glory you desire.”
"Do you know what I want?"
Gong Hao shrugged." For a Constellation Warrior, what could be more wonderful than returning to his own country and walking freely on that vast land?"”
"What about you? Do you want it?"
" For me, the ocean of knowledge is endless. It is so wonderful. Not only can it make me grow, but it can also make me feel happy. Before I get tired of alchemy, I won't leave this place.”
"But to me, this is a prison. You're right. I want to leave every day, but I can't.”
"Why? You must know that you are already a Constellation Warrior. You are a peak warrior and a free warrior. Even His Majesty the Emperor has to be polite to you when he sees you.”
"Power isn't everything, and force can't solve all problems. Xiu Yi, I only understood this after living on Purgatory Island for twenty years. I understand that just having great power doesn't mean that you can have a good life. You also have to face life, and you have to face all kinds of problems that can't be solved by force. You can't rely on force to rob, be a bandit, or challenge the laws of the country. No matter how powerful you are, unless you want to go against the entire world, you still have to act according to the rules. This is why a weak person can become the monarch of a country, while powerful warriors like us can only work for others. We have power, but we don't have the ability to live. We can only submit to others and then sell our strength.”
"There will always be some people who think that they will be the exception.”
"Oh, yes, like that Nightmare Mage. He had once created countless massacres. He thought that he could rely on his own strength to solve all problems. He killed tens of thousands of people, and no one dared to mention his name. But so what? He was a fugitive after all. After all, he couldn't overturn a country with his own strength. If he could do it, he would not be a human, but a god. Although his name could make a newborn baby tremble, he could only hide in a remote corner and could not come out openly to meet people.”
"You are right, Lord Lancelot. But do you think you're any different from that Nightmare Mage? Aren't you also hiding in a dark corner and unable to see anyone? At least the Nightmare Mage could come out and kill as he wished. At least he was free, but what about you, my lord?”
Lancelot was slightly stunned.
That's right, wasn't he the same now? No, he was even worse than a fugitive.
He thought for a while and finally smiled bitterly."No, it's different, Xiu Yi. The Nightmare Mages didn't have any worries, but I did.”
"A woman?"
"…Yes, Xiu Yi."
"I'm guessing she's already married and has a child.”
"That doesn't make me lose the right to love her.”
"But she made you lose your freedom.”
Lancelot suddenly stood up, and the aura on his body instantly enlarged, encompassing Gong Hao's entire body. He roared,"What did you say? Shuiglaire, what do you know? Don't think that you can be so rude to me just because you're Heinz's assistant now!”
"Sir Lancelot, I thought I was already your friend, but it seems like I was wrong. I didn't know anything. It was just a simple deduction. Twenty years ago, you fell in love with a certain girl, but it seems that you encountered some setbacks. I guess you might have encountered some obstacles that you couldn't get around, such as a certain big shot. This caused you to not only lose your love, but also let you come to this island. Such stories happen every day in the world, and you are not the only one. You don't have to think that you are the most unfortunate person in the world, and you don't have to think that such a story requires me to spend a lot of energy to explore.”
The aura disappeared.
Lancelot sighed." Hughie, you are always so smart." Since you've already guessed it, why ask me?”
"I just want to ask you, if one day you have the chance to leave Purgatory Island, will you do it?”
Lancelot hesitated.
He thought for a while and finally said,"Yes, I will."”
"Then perhaps I can help you."
"What do we do?"
"Teleportation portals, you know that is my current research topic.”
Lancelot was enlightened.
That's right, with the Teleportation Portal, he would be able to enter and leave Purgatory Island freely. Lancelot's eyes lit up with hope."That's great. Xiu Yi, are you sure you can do it?”
"No, I'm not sure. You know that teleportation arrays are a problem for all alchemists. However, if you are willing to help me, perhaps I can do it.”
"What do you want me to do?"
"Space Gate. Sir Lancelot, I need you to bring me to the location of the Space Gate." I want to see its existence, its composition, and its operating principle. Just like when you want to forge a weapon, you have to see the prototype first. That is the most helpful method for me.“
Lancelot gasped.
This kid was a little too bold.
