My Endless Life

Between the Principality of Uno and the Ship Federation, there is a mountain with an altitude of nearly 3,000 meters.

This mountain is located in the territory of the Principality of Uno and is a natural defense line of Uno.

It is precisely because of this that in the more than 100 years since the establishment of the two countries, Uno and Ship have never had any disputes. They are considered collaborators and allies.

Although the mountain stands between the two countries, blocking the large-scale contact between the two countries, there is a relatively flat small plain on the other side of the mountain.

Most of the trade between the two countries is also through that small plain.

And that is also the place with the most stringent defenses in the two countries.

Not only do you need proof to enter and exit, but sometimes you will also be subject to strict body searches.

So the place Amy chose to smuggle was definitely not there. Her smuggling route, as expected... was the natural defense line with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters.

The Casti Mountains.

"If you want to bypass the pass, you can only go through this mountain range. As you can see, this mountain is very high, and there are wild beasts in it. If you want to go, you'd better think it over carefully."

Somewhere outside the city, standing in a place where you can see the mountains in the distance, Amy reminded Li Qi.

Li Qi looked at her:

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about my safety. You just need to take me to the destination as agreed."

"...Okay, I've already advised you."

Amy muttered there, and Li Qi ignored her.

He turned his head to look at Genero behind him and said to him:

"You can go back."

"Don't you need me to follow you anymore?"

Genero said, and glanced at Amy.

Li Qi shook his head: "No."

Unlike Li Qi, Li Qi didn't have to come back after going to the Ship Federation, and didn't have to walk the mountain road again.

But Genero still had to go back.

Li Qi didn't need to let Genero make another trip, so it would be better to separate here directly.

Seeing Li Qi's insistence, Genero didn't say anything more.

He nodded slightly, saluted and left.

Genero was not too worried about the safety of his team leader, because he knew the team leader's strength.

Without firearms, almost no one would be the team leader's opponent in a one-on-one fight.

Besides, Li Qi was wearing a revolver.

Genero left, leaving only Amy and Li Qi standing here.

Seeing this, Amy was silent for a long time, with a strange expression:

"You really don't worry about what I will do to you."

Li Qi glanced at Amy sideways, did not respond to Amy's words directly, but looked at the mountains in the distance and asked:

"How to go?"

"..." Amy took a look at Li Qi's current clothes. Although it was still a skirt, it was not a noble lady's dress, but a very light and suitable outfit for action.

Glancing at Li Qi's handbag, Amy said:

"Just follow me. Someone will come to pick us up after we pass this mountain range."

"So you are a spy for the Ship Federation?"

"No, I am neither a member of the Ship Federation nor a spy, Miss Angela. You seem to have some misunderstandings about me."

When approaching the mountains near the border and about to leave the Principality of Uno, Amy seemed to relax a lot.

She corrected Li Qi's perception of herself and denied her identity as a spy.

Li Qi didn't say anything, just looked at Amy's waist and abdomen.

The cylinder with the magic lock was hidden in the pocket on the side of Amy's waist.

Noticing Li Qi's gaze, Amy knew what he was going to ask, and immediately answered:

"Although I stole something from your country, I'm really not a spy. This... can only be said to be an accident."

"Accidentally stole our country's secrets? Well, that's really an 'accident'."

"To tell you the truth, I didn't take this thing." As they walked into the mountains, Amy said to Li Qi, "It was given to me by one of your nobles. He knew my identity, so he chose to give it to me."

Amy should not have lied when she said this.

Since she separated from Genero, Li Qi has been using his superpowers all the time. He observed that Amy's heartbeat was normal, proving that she was unlikely to lie.

Even if he didn't use superpowers to observe, Li Qi wouldn't think Amy was lying.

Because...this is what the traditional nobles would do.

They may not know the value of the things in the cylinder, or how much change the drawings inside can bring to the world.

But they know that if the reformists lose this thing, the reformists will definitely suffer a major blow.

For the sake of internal fighting, even the external enemies are ignored.

Li Qi subconsciously looked back in the direction of Uno. If the internal fighting between the reformists and the traditionalists in Uno is not resolved, Uno may not exist for long.

It seems that Li Qi's decision to go to England is right.

After all, even if Uno is really conquered and becomes a colony of another country, at least Li Qi can still live well in another country.

After talking about these serious things, Li Qi and Amy became a little silent.

The Casti Mountains are very high, the roads inside are complicated, and there are beasts lingering. It is indeed difficult for ordinary people to pass here.

But this does not include magicians above the tactical level.

Amy is at the tactical level, and Li Qi is one level higher than her. The body tempered by magic can make them walk on flat ground in the mountains.

Although Amy didn't know Li Qi's strength, seeing that he could keep up with her, she could also understand that this young lady who dared to cross the mountains with her was not the petite little ones she saw in King Uno's capital. girl.

After walking for about half a day, Amy took a short rest under a rock. Amy pointed to a cliff in the distance and said:

"There is a steep slope over there. If you go down the steep slope over there, you can reach the territory of the Ship Federation. It's just... it's not easy to walk there. Are you sure you can do it?"

Li Qi answered without thinking:

"No problem, just leave."

Amy scratched her cheek: "No, I mean...if you can't, I can carry you down."

Perhaps because she was far away from Uno and Li Qi was here alone, some of Amy's thoughts became active.

She looked at Li Qi's body, and there was a look in her eyes that made Li Qi disgusted.

Click.

Li Qi didn't speak. He just picked up the revolver at his waist, loaded it, and stared at Amy expressionlessly.

Amy's smile suddenly froze. She pretended that nothing happened and turned her head, walking towards the cliff over there:

"...It's almost evening, hurry up or we'll have to spend the night in the mountains."

"Oh."

Li Qi seemed to laugh mockingly.

Amy just pretended that she heard nothing and continued moving forward with Li Qi.

The hillside Amy mentioned was indeed very steep, almost at a right angle of ninety degrees, with only a few bumps that didn't look very solid for people to stand on.

When they came to the hillside, Amy first observed it, and then said to Li Qi:

"I'll go down first. You can see how I go down. Then you can follow me."

After saying that, she carefully went down the hillside.

There were not many places to stay on the slope several hundred meters high. Amy carefully walked down while observing. It took nearly fifteen minutes to 'jump' from the top to a safe point at the foot of the mountain.

After wiping the sweat from her forehead, Amy was about to raise her head and call Li Qi to come down.

As a result, when she turned around, she saw Li Qi next to her.

"?! I'll go, when will you..."

Li Qi's ghost-like figure made Amy scream out subconsciously, but the next second she heard Li Qi ask:

"I remember you said that someone would come to pick you up?"

"Uh-huh——"

"Then there should be only one or two people coming to pick you up, right?"

Li Qi asked again.

Amy rolled her eyes and said speechlessly:

"What else? Shipp is not my territory. It would be great if I could find someone to pick us up, okay?"

"Yeah?"

Hearing Amy's answer, Li Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at the woods below.

He silently let go of the hand covering Amy and asked Amy meaningfully:

"So, these people are no longer yours?"

"These people...?"

Amy was stunned and turned to look at the woods below.

Behind the big trees at the bottom of the slope, a group of strong men walked out.

They were wearing slightly shabby clothes and holding weapons of different styles in their hands, vaguely blocking the way forward for Amy and Li Qi.

Sensing some murderous intent among these people, Amy fell completely silent.

She knows.

She was betrayed.
