Cataclysm King Chapter 316

 Chapter 316 Some daily life

Ji Xun listened to Nan Jing's story with a helpless but interesting expression.

 This girl doesn't know why she believes in herself so much.

Ji Xun didn't even think that he would be able to survive in a certain adventure, but Nan Jing was sure that he would use the psychic scroll to save her.

 But there's no point in talking about that.

 As long as you are alive.

Ji Xun looked at the gray-faced girl with a round head and thought that these days were not going well, so he asked her to sit down and asked casually: "Drink some tea?"

 The tent is a single-person deerskin tent, very small.

Nan Jing didn't mind at all, and sat next to Ji Xun, smiling and saying: “Okay!”

While Ji Xun was pouring tea, she glanced at the classics on the small table and said with emotion: "Wow, Mr. Ji Xun is really as hardworking as ever."

It seems like I want to say something, but I have to hold it back.

I have never seen him enjoy himself.

Ji Xun also understood.

As soon as Ji Xun heard her tone, he knew that he had guessed correctly. At the same time, he also explained: "I encountered some things before, and after deducing them, I roughly guessed them. And now that the royal family from the southern continent has arrived, I can basically confirm the guesses. "

He also asked casually: "That's right. A Royal Academy trial group came from the southern continent, ready to explore this wasteland. And I suspect that the Augustus Emperor's Mausoleum is here. Some people in the trial group , maybe also for the [Holy Sword of Olympus] in the royal tomb."

 There is nothing to hide from old friends,

 He explained the general situation in the simplest terms.

Nan Jing did not answer directly, but looked back and pursed his lips, "I can't say."

Ji Xunting showed a hint of thought in his eyes.

Nanjing's eyes showed a hint of surprise when he heard this, and he said slightly surprised: "How do you know that the tomb of King Augustus is here?"

 meaning, I really want to tell you, but I can't.

 These words have revealed a lot of information.

"oh."

 But the expression was a little hesitant, as if he was a little embarrassed.

 Nang Jing was suddenly enlightened after hearing this.

 But in Nan Jing's impression, it seemed that every time he encountered someone, he was either taking risks or practicing asceticism.

Nan Jing shrugged and explained helplessly: "The high priest's lineage has a guardianship contract with the Augustus royal family. There are many things that cannot be said."

Ji Xun is already very strong now. If he really wants to enjoy a comfortable life, he can live a good life.

 Indeed, if someone wants to dig up the ancestral tomb of Augustus, High Priest Talon will definitely not reveal the information.

　　After holding it in for a long time, she finally managed to choke out a few words and said: "The royal tomb is very dangerous."

 “Rune Heights?”

  But it cannot be said.

 Thinking that this girl is a descendant of the lineage of High Priest Talon after all, and may know some secrets.

Ji Xun also poured himself a cup of tea and sat across from her.

Ji Xun looked at the excited expression on her face and reminded: "Be careful. The Red Dragon Kingdom has issued an S-level wanted order for you, and now there are bounty hunters everywhere looking for you. There are also many high-level cards in the camp. Teacher's.”

Long time no see, this girl with a round head also seemed very excited.

 Nanjing responded obediently.

Ji Xun glanced at her and asked directly: "You also know?"

Nanjing's little head turned and he pouted.

Nanjing held the tea poured by Ji Xun, pursed her lips and revealed a pair of shallow dimples: "Thank you~"

"oh."

Nan Jing thought about this place name and seemed to know something.

It's not that I don't know.

 He smiled and poured a cup of amber tea.

She also sensed that there were many people nearby and asked curiously: "By the way, where is this place?"

Ji Xun responded: "An adventure camp near Rune Highlands."

"oh?"

 Of course he knew the danger.

Ji Xun cast a curious look upon hearing this response.

Ji Xun has become accustomed to this ascetic-like pace of life and does not feel it is hard.

 But the twinkling in her crystal eyes did not let anyone see that she had any intention of taking the wanted order seriously.

King Augustus was the ruler of the Taron dynasty, so the tomb was bound to be full of dangers.

However, three thousand years have passed and the dynasty has collapsed. The greatest danger is actually gone.

 All that's left are monsters and restrictions.

 But Ji Xun is not the main force in this exploration.

 But those people from the Southern Continent.

Since those guys dare to come, they must be prepared.

 In the end, the Miss Meathead only said "danger" but did not stop him from going, which meant that there was room for him to go.

Thinking about it this way, Ji Xun felt that this adventure plan was more certain.

He knew that he could not continue talking about the royal tomb, so he asked instead: "Xiaonan, what's going on over there in the Southern Continent?"

 “Sorry, I don't understand either”

Nan Jing knew what he was curious about, but he really couldn't answer. He stuck out his tongue playfully and added: "I just walked around the palace of the Red Dragon Empire and couldn't get out."

Ji Xun didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he listened.

 It's a good thing that you have many tricks up your sleeve, otherwise you would really suffer a big loss.

Thinking of something, Ji Xun asked again: "By the way, what is the [Book of the Dead] you are talking about?"

 He was also curious as to what it was that made the Red Dragon Royal Family so frustrated that they dared not say anything.

 “Here~this.”

When Nan Jing heard this, he felt a little excited about sharing the stolen goods, so he took out an ancient book filled with black energy.

The cover of the book is made of black leather of unknown material, with intricate incantations engraved on it. In the center is a human eye that is as creepy as a living thing.

 The edges of the book are frayed and it looks like it has been read countless times, giving it an ancient and mysterious aura.

Just as soon as it was taken out, the temperature in the tent dropped sharply, and a chilling feeling instantly hit my heart.

Ji Xun's brows twisted in an instant. It felt like the feeling of terror when he was wandering on the edge of death countless times!

 Enlightenment also appeared at the same time: "You have been eroded by the 'Law of Death'"

 The law of death is one of the supreme laws.

 This is an unknown area that Ji Xun has not touched so far.

But after a moment when his hair stood on end, he was not shocked by the breath of death. Instead, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he thought to himself: "What a good thing!"

This feeling of instant clarity was something he had experienced many times on the verge of death.

 It was a wonderfully pleasurable experience.

Ji Xun instinctively had an idea in his mind: Doesn't it mean that with this book, we can artificially create that kind of terrifying state that is on the verge of death?

Nan Jing obviously guessed what Ji Xun was thinking, and explained in a regretful tone: "This [Book of the Dead] records the mystery of the law of death. It itself also has super pollution. If it does not reach the corresponding height of the law, touch it This book will greatly reduce your life span."

As she spoke, a white light lingered in her hand, instantly suppressing the black energy escaping from the book.

 “Short life span?”

Ji Xun raised an eyebrow as he listened. Sure enough, it was not that easy to get stuck.

 Other costs are okay.

 Shoushou Jixun really doesn't dare to mess around.

The Immortality Curse was already draining his lifespan. If there was another one, he might have to find another life-saving holy object like the Holy Grail.

Nan Jing couldn't hide his joy when looking at this ancient book, and said: "I didn't expect that this [Book of the Dead] would be obtained by those people in the Southern Continent. And it happens that the Red Dragon Empire has very powerful necromancers. He can actually open the coordinates of the gate to the underworld recorded in the classics."

 “Necromancer?”

Ji Xun heard it and suddenly caught something.

Since the Red Dragon Royal Family has a top-level necromancer, Prince Salo may also have a very powerful necromancer beside him?

Perhaps this was the reason why they dared to pursue the idea of ​​Augustus's tomb.

As Nan Jing spoke, he opened the book casually.

 It was discovered when I grabbed it before, and I didn't even have time to take a closer look.

While reading, she said with emotion: "This secret book is said to be compiled by King Lanlingster, the founding emperor of Tarun. This is also a high-ranking book that psychics and necromancers must study. My mother said that this secret book is It has been lost for tens of thousands of years. Wow, I didn't expect to be lucky enough to find this relic.”

Ji Xun glanced out of the corner of his eye. The dark red paper was densely written with some ancient characters.

 There are also some sophisticated hand-drawn illustrations.

 He recognized the writing, it was ancient Talonian.

ˆ It is a bit like classical Chinese. It is an ancient language that is older, more obscure, and closer to advanced demonic language than the current Talent language.

Ji Xun recognized some of them, but found it difficult to understand their meaning.

He just glanced at it and knew that the content was advanced content and was not something he could understand now.

But don't be in a hurry.

Since it belongs to this young lady, I can borrow it whenever I have the chance to look at it in the future.

Nanjing was obviously also very interested in this classic, and he browsed through it roughly.

At this moment, Ji Xun glanced out of the corner of his eye and suddenly saw several hand-drawn drawings on a certain page of the book!

 He didn't understand the text, but he did understand the painting.

That seems to record a mummification process.

 The above is a human corpse that has been divided into several pieces, and then the soul has been extracted.

 The body was nailed to the cross and wrapped in a shroud.

Ji Xun looked inexplicably familiar.

 Looking at the instruments in the picture again, isn't this the three-piece seal set of [Light and Dark Holy Nail], [Light and Dark Cross], and [Light and Dark Shroud]?

“Is this the sealing ceremony of the Weeping Angels?”

Ji Xun looked at some thoughts that suddenly flashed through his mind.

 Intuition told him that the Tarun royal family's guardian angel was killed by the ancestors of Nanjing, and there might be other deeper meanings.

Nanjing also saw Ji Xun's expression change and asked, “What's wrong?”

Ji Xun pointed directly at the page and asked, "What is this record?"

Nan Jing looked at it, frowned and said: "Ah, I haven't learned this spell yet, and I don't understand it very well. Well, from the introduction, it seems that death is a way to obtain the secret method of breaking through the realm. Oh, and there are resurrection."

Ji Xun: "Resurrection?"

"Um."

Nanjing nodded and said, "Although I haven't understood it yet. But if you study the law of death to a certain extent, you will naturally become proficient in the law of life."

 “Opposite of nature!”

When Ji Xun heard this, he thought of the area of ​​knowledge that Aragorn had told him before, which would only be accessible to this top-level card master.

 Death and life are opposites!

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly understood something.

 The Weeping Angels were killed!

 Perhaps this was the layout left by the high priest who killed the Weeping Angel to future generations.

Jia Yu once said that although some ancient great powers have died, some of their layouts may affect the continuation of civilization for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

It's like the "Treasure House of God's Ruins" in Sinless City.

This kind of layout will play an important role when necessary.

"Bravo."

Ji Xun's thoughts were racing in his mind.

 He ​​used "I am the world" to deduce it, and then saw a causal line extending from three thousand years ago, one trace of which fell on himself.

 After all, the Weeping Angel's soul is now in his body.

Nan Jing was interpreting the spell on that page bit by bit. He looked up at Ji Xun's expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Xun's thoughts changed and he asked: "Xiao Nan, do you know 'Weeping Angel'?"

 “I know. My mother mentioned some to me before.”

Nan Jing said, his expression suddenly darkened: "But."

Ji Xun knew what she was going to say.

That Aunt Nan did not side with the Oran royal family last time at the Shenxu Treasure House. Instead, she helped the Priory to kill all the old believers.

Arthur, the new king of Oran, will never give up.

But things were not as bad as he expected.

Nanjing said in frustration: "My mother seems to be imprisoned."

Ji Xun thought about it: "Imprisonment?"

 There is news coming from the East Road that the Oran royal family has been restored, and the Bai family is now the new high priest.

 He had avoided this topic before.

"Um."

Nan Jing nodded, with a sad look on his face, and explained: "The high priest's lineage and Augustus have a bloodline guardianship contract. Even if the Oran royal family no longer trusts our Nan clan, they will never hurt my mother. Last time... Oh , that's when you were together. After I met my mother in Innocence City, she said some strange things to me, and then I couldn't contact her. I suspected that she was imprisoned. "

Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

　　After all, that Aunt Nan saved her, so she just needs to be alive.

 But he didn't know how to solve this problem at the moment, so he didn't continue the conversation.

 The tent was quiet for a moment.

 The excitement of meeting friends also dissipated, and Nan Jing suddenly felt sleepy between his brows, as if he couldn't even lift his eyelids.

 She closed the secret book, turned to look at Ji Xun and asked, "Mr. Ji Xun, I'm sleepy, can I take a rest here?"

Ji Xun smiled slightly and responded: "Of course."

Nan Jing raised his tired eyelids very hard and responded: "Oh."

This little girl with a round head seems to be really sleepy.

As soon as she finished speaking, she lay down on the small table, closed her eyes and fell asleep?

Ji Xun looked at the sleeping girl, a hint of surprise flashed across his expression, and then he chuckled: "How long has it been since you last slept?"

 Oh, that's right too.

　　I was hiding in the Red Dragon King's Court before, so I definitely couldn't sleep.

 The small table is for reading and is not comfortable to sleep on.

Ji Xun shouted, but Nan Jing didn't respond.

He thought about it, got up, picked up the girl with a round head, and carefully placed her on the simple camp bed beside her.

 Then he covered himself with a blanket.

 From beginning to end, this high-level psychic who should have been very alert had no intention of waking up.

His body was as soft as mud, completely defenseless.

 As if she knew that this was the safest place.

Ji Xun looked at the pretty face sleeping peacefully and shook his head with a smile.

 He sat next to him and continued to read his books.

Just like that, the night passed by in a flash.

 At six or seven in the morning, the camp gradually became noisy.

The young nobles of the Royal Trial Group are all planning to set off today.

 The mercenaries and hunters also got up early and started packing for adventure.

In the open space outside the camp, dozens of teams were ready to go, with various Warcraft mounts pulling large carts and small carts of supplies, preparing to go to the Rune Highlands.

Ji Xun also packed up his tent.

At this moment, a sleeping young lady suddenly opened her eyes.

 Then he sat up.

Ji Xun was cleaning up his desk. He glanced at her and smiled slightly: "You're awake."

Nan Jing blinked and looked at himself sleeping on the bed, as if he was fragmented for a moment.

 After a moment, she seemed to understand what happened last night.

How could you occupy the bed by yourself?

Also, will the sleeping position look ugly?

 Did you say anything strange in your sleep?

 For a moment, the girl's psychological activities were extremely complicated.

Thinking of this, a blush appeared on Nan Jing's cheeks, and he muttered: "Ah, that's so rude~"

Ji Xun smiled and didn't mind at all. He just said: "Get ready when you wake up. We will leave soon."

This is a wanted criminal, so of course it is impossible to follow him.

But these words interrupted Nan Jing's random thoughts. This girl also knew her situation. Before Ji Xun could finish her plan, a spell flashed through her and she disappeared into the tent.

The little panicked response came to my ears: "Mr. Ji Xun, I'm going to the highlands first. If there are any problems on the way, you can use this scroll to contact me."

Ji Xun listened, looked at the scroll on the table, smiled and shook his head.

You don't need to worry about this little girl's methods.

 Watching the people disappear, Ji Xun packed up his tent and headed outside the camp with his huge backpack.

 A new adventure is about to begin.

  PS: I found another picture that is very suitable for Nanjing, the cheongsam ball head~
