Cataclysm King Chapter 329

Chapter 329 Is this holy sword fake?

Ji Xun looked at the simple copper piece in his hand, his eyes gradually deepened.

 The shadow of the clown demon also appeared clearly behind him.

 Just for a moment when you look at it, those mysterious symbols seem to come alive, floating and flashing in front of your eyes.

Higher Demonic Tongues are the patterned embodiment of the laws of the universe.

Each character contains a large amount of high-level information that is beyond human capabilities.

 Reading puts a very heavy load on the brain.

Ji Xun's feeling at this moment was very obvious.

It's like decompressing a super-compressed file in your mind. Just a few characters release hundreds of thousands of times the amount of information.

 Even with the blessing of the clown's super understanding, he still can't digest it for a while.

Just looking at these few breaths immediately made him feel dizzy.

The two were chatting when suddenly, a burst of cold air spurted out from the corridor.

What's more, Ji Xun has deduced an interesting fact.

Ji Xun didn't think that if he showed this secret method to Aragorn, the other party would be embarrassed and not give him something of equal value in return.

 He happened to know one.

Ji Xun also feels very lucky.

The temperature in the secret room dropped sharply by dozens of degrees, making people's hairs stand on end.

Nan Jing, who was on the side, also looked at the copper plate in Ji Xun's hand and sighed: "Wow, a complete 'original copper plate' is very rare. As far as I know, the existing fifty-two demon god's forbidden art copper plates are still intact. No more than five yuan. Even my high priest lineage's [Royal God Court] inheritance is missing.”

He looked at the corridor leading to the underground palace and guessed that the battle below was very fierce.

There are also top-level card masters in that organization.

Ji Xun didn't know much about this sequence either.

Thinking of this, he instantly narrowed his gaze, suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and sighed slightly: "There is still a long way to go before I can understand."

This piece of copper in front of me is of immeasurable value.

 It is very difficult to read.

Ji Xun smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's not a big problem."

There are indeed many fifty-two magic mysterious methods circulating on the market.

Now that I have learned several magic and mystical techniques, my physical body is strong enough, but my shortcoming in "wisdom" has become more and more prominent.

The Rebel Dragon Army has not been wiped out by the three kingdoms in the southern continent, and its background is extraordinary.

 Thanks to the guidance of the Weeping Angel, otherwise this copper piece would have been buried in this tomb for who knows how many years.

 There will be plenty of time to improve his understanding in the future, so Ji Xun no longer dwells on the contents on the copper plate.

 Fortunately, I got a very ideal professional card this time, and I can slowly improve it in the future.

Ji Xun was also curious about what was so special about the [Sunless Sun] that had been banned by the Tarun royal family for countless years.

Nan Jing frowned again and said: "But this is the exclusive secret method of the hero sequence. This sequence is a bit special, and it is difficult for others to decipher it."

Each of the fifty-two demonic gods' forbidden arts requires a lot of time to comprehend, and it also requires the assistance of the demonic god's power directed by the professional sequence.

"Um."

This is the complete fifty-two magic mysterious methods!

  It can be said to be one of the treasures of the entire card master civilization.

Ji Xun is very familiar with this kind of cold air that can freeze the soul. His eyes narrowed: "The ninth day of the ninth lunar month?"

 【JOKER】is just a threshold, just like feeding food into your mouth, you still have to have the ability to digest it.

That is, the group of people who broke into the tomb and destroyed the body of "Mad King" Alduin three thousand years ago are probably related in some way to the current dragon rebel army.

 Thoughts flashed by.

Handled down for countless years, it has long been very different from the original magical-level secret method.

Of course he knows that interpreting this kind of original copper plate will definitely require a hero sequence card master, and the higher the level, the better.

 The most important guy is the cadre of the Dragon Rebel Army.

 He ​​is taking the path of "multi-sequence all-access", and the demand for wisdom will be increasing in the future.

 But almost all of them are incomplete transcribed versions.

 On the contrary, he could not hide his joy.

 Aragon is worthy of trust regardless of his character or rank.

 At the same time, he also saw his own shortcomings.

However, the effect of her version may not be even one-tenth of the original version.

For example, the "Plague Doctor's Secret Book of Immortality" that "Black Widow" Heather obtained in the Plague Swamp before and practiced is actually a simplified version of the magical secret "Immortality Curse".

Perhaps I can switch to another fifty-two magic mysterious method?

  But the inheritance of the [Hero] sequence is almost extinct on the market.

 Almost at the same time, the sound of "Katz" and "Katz" stones rubbing against each other came to my ears.

The sand and gravel in the cracks in the rock wall fell, and the entire underground palace trembled, as if some mechanism was activated on a large scale.

The most intuitive thing is the heavy stone door on the corridor in front of me, which slowly falls down.

Ji Xun immediately realized that something was wrong.

Nan Jing's expression also changed, he turned over and rode on the civet cat, and said urgently: "Arthur should have obtained the authority of the mausoleum, and now he wants to use the mausoleum to trap Sister Chujiu to death. Let's leave the imperial mausoleum quickly!" "

Ji Xun frowned.

If the mausoleum mechanism can really be controlled, the problem will be huge.

 He didn't ask about the situation on the ninth day of the lunar month.

The new king Arthur who can force him has used the mausoleum mechanism. I guess this guy didn't take much advantage in the fight.

Furthermore, Nanjing and Chujiu must have been well prepared before they arrived.

Ji Xunsi didn't hesitate, turned over and rode on the civet.

The two of them and the cat rushed out of the maze at top speed.

 The surrounding rock walls were retreating rapidly, reaching an extremely fast speed.

While running, Nan Jing said very fast: "Mr. Ji Xun, you pointed the direction of the civet. I will rescue Sister Chujiu!"

Ji Xun: "Okay!"

 Speaking, Nan Jing clapped one hand and channeled the inheritance scroll.

As if she had an emergency plan, she opened the scroll and poured spell power into a spell formation: "Necromantic Technique·Big-mouthed Shinra!"

 A "bang" cloud of white smoke came out.

In the six-pointed star formation, a strange royal **** that was more than five meters tall and looked like a giant lucky cat appeared out of thin air.

The lucky cat was channeled, and his body was still blazing with black fire, as if he had been attacked by something.

Ji Xun recognized the origin of the black fire at a glance: "Law of fear?"

Just when I was thinking about how the Lucky Cat caught fire, I watched it open its mouth and spat out a man covered in wounds.

 Who is he if he is not Chujiu?

 “Can this still happen?”

Ji Xun's eyes were slightly startled as he watched. He thought there might be a fierce battle, but he didn't expect that the method of rescuing people mentioned by Nan Jing turned out to be like this.

Her psychic skills are really outrageous, and she can also transform living people.

 At least as far as Ji Xun knew about the lineage of psychics, no one could do it.

 Thinking about it for a moment, he probably got the person out through the "underworld passage" controlled by the high priest's lineage.

Without thinking much, Ji Xun had quick eyes and quick hands. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Chujiu, using the force of gravity to **** Chujiu directly into his hand.

 Chu Jiu, who had a golden face, looked at Ji Xun and the two in front of him and felt relieved for a moment. He passed out immediately before he could say a word.

 Severely injured.

Ji Xun frowned, and it was obvious that Chujiu's body had softened.

 He put it between himself and Nanjing, and lay on the civet's back.

Prince Salo's trophies just happened to contain a lot of top-quality healing potions. Ji Xun took out two and poured them on the wound. At the same time, he said softly: "Huh?"

Chujiu's back showed signs of severe injuries, but the most important thing was that she was also carrying a rusty cross sword.

　　【Holy Sword of Olympus】?

Ji Xun took a look at the shape of the hilt of the eagle-headed cross sword. Isn't it the same sword that he saw inserted into the corpse of "Mad King" Alduin before?

 It turned out that this thing was snatched out.

However, why does it not look as majestic and domineering as expected?

This is the legendary four holy weapons of kingship, the "Sword of the Regicide" as Aragorn said.

 Why does it look like an ordinary rusty iron sword?

Ji Xun has seen the sacred weapon of royal power.

 The [Sismark Holy Grail] on the ninth day of the lunar month will be burned to ashes if touched by someone other than the royal horoscope;

  The new king Arthur's [Crown of Thorns] can absorb the Law of Fear.

 There is nothing special about this sword at all.

 It is dull, has no extraordinary characteristics, is not sharp, and even looks ordinary.

Just now when he was holding Chujiu, Ji Xun deliberately tested it and found that the holy sword was not dangerous at all.

 Since there was no negative pollution, he didn't pay much attention to it.

 Thoughts disappeared in a flash.

Just curious.

Ji Xun has no interest in royal power.

 So this big sword is not attractive to him, it is just a special weapon.

 Instead, he was more concerned about Chujiu's injuries.

 The limp body in her arms was as cold as a popsicle, and her breath was like a gossamer.

 I felt my heartbeat, it came and went.

Ji Xun's medical skills are not bad. After judging the extent of the injury, he started treatment on the civet's back.

Originally, the maze corridor has changed, and it will take a lot of time to escape.

 But coincidentally, the breath left by Mr. Xu and his grandfather became the best guidepost.

Ji Xun smelled the scent in the air and guided the civet to run wildly.

 Luckily, they found the place where they came in with the least amount of trial and error.

This underground palace can only be entered but not exited.

Logically speaking, Chujiu will definitely die this time.

The new king Arthur did not expect that he was recognized by his ancestors and obtained the permissions of the mausoleum, but because of a dense way left by the workers three thousand years ago, he made him exhausted to prepare for the murder plan.

The civet cat carried three people on its back and fled out of the imperial mausoleum.

 Then he ran to the ground from the robbery hole he came down from before, and soon disappeared into the black mist of the wasteland.

There are a lot of undead in the Rune Highlands, and there are many dangers.

  But the civet cat is a necromantic disaster, and its keen sense can easily avoid those dangerous areas.

 After running for half an hour, we finally stopped at a mountain col.

"It should be no problem. Even if there is any means to find us, Arthur would not dare to chase us."

"oh?"

"Arthur is a blood descendant of Augustus, and he is involved in too many top secrets of Talon. People in the Southern Continent are looking for this King of Oran, and he will never dare to show his face outside for a long time. Even this time. The imperial mausoleum also borrowed the Bai family's methods to dare to show up in the mausoleum."

"I see."

 Nan Jing jumped off the civet's back.

Ji Xun also jumped down holding the unconscious Chujiu.

Then he took a blanket and spread it on the ground, and gently placed the person on it.

Nanjing also checked the wound on Chujiu's back. All the necessary treatments were done well. There was no danger to her life. She also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Xun felt relieved now that he was safe. I stayed in the mausoleum for a long time and had another fight, so I was already hungry.

 He took out the boiler, lit a fire and simmered the broth.

 Nanjing first helped.

 But she was the only one who helped and took care of the whole process.

This girl seems to have practiced her cooking skills hard, and she has all kinds of dishes at her fingertips.

 She enjoys it too.

Ji Xun also felt that it was good to be idle. It would be a while before the food in the pot was cooked. While paying attention to Chujiu's injuries, he also began to count the harvest.

Now that I have left the imperial mausoleum alive, those gains are truly in my pocket and become my own.

 Not to mention the items in the hundreds of storage rings, there are also treasures such as the moon wheel, brain-eating worm mother, dark matter crystals, professional cards, and original copper plates.

It can be said that the harvest is full.

Sure enough, if you want to talk about treasures, you have to look at the nobility.

 Including nobles buried in the earth.

　　If I were to venture alone, I might not be able to get so many treasures even if I go through countless difficult extrdimensional spaces.

 Harvest is only one of them.

Looking back on the adventures along the way, Ji Xun also enjoyed the feeling of wandering between life and death.

Of course, thanks to having many friends and being strong enough.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun glanced at the ball-headed lady.

The bonfire reflected a slightly round, but very cute face.

Nan Jing was holding a wooden spoon and scooping out a little soup.

 Blowed it and tasted it briefly.

 Then he showed a very satisfied expression.

As soon as she raised her head, she saw Ji Xun looking over. She blinked and asked, "The meat is almost ready. Mr. Ji Xun, do you want to try it?"

 The broth in the pot was churning, and the air was filled with fragrance.

Ji Xun smiled and admitted, "It smells delicious."

Nanjing smiled happily when he heard this, "I have been in the wild by myself recently, so I have practiced cooking."

 As she spoke, she filled a bowl for Ji Xun.

The two of them were chatting without a word, when suddenly they heard a slight cough.

Nanjing quickly looked over, "Hey, Sister Chujiu, are you awake?"

Ji Xun looked at the sober Chujiu, and the last trace of worry disappeared.

 When you wake up, it won't be a big problem.

Chu Jiu glanced at Nan Jing and then at Ji Xun. Although his expression was still cold, when he woke up and saw his two best friends, a touch of softness flashed across his eyes.

She said weakly: "I'm causing trouble for you."

Nan Jing seemed to be unhappy with Chujiu's politeness and muttered: “Sister Chujiu, how can there be any trouble~”

Ji Xun also felt that Chujiu was colder than the last time he saw it. He knew that this was due to the career sequence.

 【White Queen】This road is not easy to walk.

 The higher the rank, the colder the temperament.

He didn't mind and said with a smile, “Long time no see.”

"Um."

Chujiu glanced at him, thought for a moment, and said, "Long time no see."

As she was speaking, she couldn't hold back a cough, and another trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Ji Xun: "Your injury?"

 He dealt with the injury, and of course he knew it was very serious.

 The contamination of the Law of Fear of High Places is not so easy to deal with.

Chujiu knew what Ji Xun had done, and there was gratitude in his eyes. He shook his head and said softly: "It's okay now."

 As she spoke, she took out a small silver chalice and held it in her hand.

 After a white mantra was poured into it, a faint holy light emerged from the Holy Grail.

Visibly to the naked eye, the traces of law burn on Chujiu's skin quickly faded, and her face gradually gained color.

It only took a few breaths to fully recover.

 “Hey, what a powerful healing power!”

Ji Xun was also surprised when he saw it.

This healing effect is even worse than my own immortality spell.

 Oh, that's right!

　　The side effects of my immortality curse were solved by relying on the Holy Grail.

　　【Sismark Holy Grail】The Holy Grail symbolizes "benevolent healing". It seems that my old friend has mastered some of the functions of this Holy Grail.

 Nanjing seemed to have known about it for a long time, so he was not surprised.

Looking at Chujiu's recovery, she smiled with slight dimples on her lips: "Sister Chujiu, are you hungry? The food has just been prepared, I will help you fill a bowl."

Chūjiu nodded slightly: "Yeah."

 Once the wounded recovered, it seemed that there was nothing to worry about.

 The three of them sat around the campfire, drinking hot broth leisurely.

“The three of us have never met together like this since we were separated in the maze of the cemetery.”

"Wow, Sister Chujiu, you don't know how powerful Mr. Ji Xun has become. His disguise is so good that the people in the Southern Continent didn't notice it at all."

“Later, he also killed a fifth-level dragonborn.”

 The three of them feel very relaxed when they stay together.

Nan Jing seemed very excited, and his little mouth was never idle. He kept chattering about the thrilling adventures in the mausoleum and his own experiences in the past few days.

　　Although Chujiu rarely interrupts, it can be seen that she enjoys this kind of leisurely time together.

Ji Xun felt the same way.

The two people in front of them are also friends who have lived and died together many times. Being able to sit and chat together greatly relieves the tense nerves of adventure and makes them feel happy both physically and mentally.

 There is nothing to be surprised about.

While chatting about the imperial mausoleum, Ji Xun asked directly: "By the way, Chujiu, are you in contact with people from the Southern Continent this time?"

"Um."

Chujiu nodded: "There was news from the Allied Forces before, saying that they had contact with the Southern Continent and could cooperate. At first, we thought we needed to treat it with caution. Later, we heard that it was a friend of You, and we quickly reached an agreement after meeting. cooperation.”

Ji Xun nodded as he listened.

As he expected, the news about the Imperial Tomb really came from the Dragon Rebel Army.

Moreover, some of the people who broke into the tomb three thousand years ago are the ancestors of some high-ranking members of the current rebel dragon army.

Chujiu: "There are very powerful 'prophets' in the Southern Continent. In order to keep it secret, the senior leaders of the Dragon Rebel Army did not dare to get involved in any incidents involving the imperial mausoleum. But now Donghuang has not attracted attention in the Southern Continent, so they cooperate with us. It is also the best choice to get the [Holy Sword of Olympus], and the subsequent war will be more certain."

Ji Xun listened and confirmed his previous deduction.

The Dragon Rebel Army did not come in person, and it was indeed to contain and confuse the senior officials of the Airel Empire.

However, when talking about the Holy Sword, Ji Xun glanced at the rusty iron sword next to the campfire and confirmed: "Is this really the Holy Sword of Royal Power?"

"Um."

Chūjiu confirmed that this was not a fake.

She also knew what Ji Xun was wondering about, and explained: "It's not that easy to get the recognition of a sacred object of royal power. Especially this holy sword. It requires unparalleled courage and strength, as well as a special enough fate."

Hearing this, Ji Xun suddenly realized, but he was also curious: "You can't use it either?"

Chujiu shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Even among the emperors of my ancestors, it is difficult for anyone to master two sacred objects of royal power at the same time."

Ji Xun: "Oh?"

Nanjing on the side also blinked, quite interested in this topic.

This is a royal family secret that cannot be known to outsiders, but Chujiu did not avoid the two of them.

She said directly: "[The Orb of Royal Power] symbolizes the law of order, the [Holy Grail of Sismark] symbolizes kindness and healing, the [Crown of Thorns] symbolizes power and glory, and the [Holy Sword of Olympus] symbolizes power and destruction. The Holy Artifact of Royal Power not only It only represents rights, as well as national destiny, strength, destiny, luck and law perception. Except for the former Talon's first emperor Lanlingster, no one can control the four sacred weapons of royal power at the same time.”

Chūjiu is an illegitimate daughter. She doesn't have a strong sense of the Augustus bloodline, and she's also a little shy about certain titles.

She continued: "It is said that there was an emperor in the middle period of Talon who could be recognized by the Holy Grail, the Crown, and the Orb. He was already a 'king of the prosperous age'. Other emperors usually were recognized by a sacred weapon of royal power. It's already pretty good.”

 “That's it”

Ji Xun has gained a lot of experience. It turns out that there is still such a saying.

 It sounds like there are some supernatural reasons behind these four sacred artifacts?

So, why was the founding emperor of Talon able to master four sacred weapons?

Ji Xun's thoughts suddenly turned around and he thought to himself: Is the "Lanlingster M. Augustus" the "Mr. M" on the [JOKER] card?

 “I don't know exactly what it is. After all.”

Having said this on Chujiu, he did not continue.

What she didn't finish was that, after all, she was an illegitimate daughter and she did not receive the orthodox royal inheritance.

 What we know now are also unearthed bit by bit from ancient ruins.

She doesn't care about the royal power, but the indifference of being cold-eyed and ostracized since she was a child makes her not so strongly aware of her bloodline.

Ji Xun thought for a moment.

These words contain a lot of information and are too high-end.

 The more he thought about it, the more questions he had in his mind.

 He needs more information to deduce some subsequent cause and effect.

Ji Xun thought for a while and asked: "On the ninth day of the lunar month, what happened in the mausoleum? Is there Augustus' inheritance in the imperial mausoleum?"

"Um."

Chujiu did not shy away from him at all and said directly: "Aunt Nan gave me some pointers before. But she didn't go into details. I only know that there is a very important inheritance in the imperial mausoleum for my career sequence and the entire card master civilization. For example, Titan mechanical blueprints.”

Ji Xun's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this.

 Do you really have the drawings?

If we really get those blueprints and those mechanical armors with terrifying energy output and combat power, it's really hard to say what the future situation will be like.

When Chujiu said this, his expression dimmed slightly: "Unfortunately, my current abilities are limited, and I don't know much about the situation in the tomb. I can barely get the holy sword."

After a pause, she sighed softly: "I didn't get into the ancestral mausoleum this time, and I won't have a chance in the future."

 “ancestral mausoleum?”

 What did Ji Xun capture?

Chujiu said without reservation: "Yes. In the Luen Highlands, there is the ancestral mausoleum of Augustus, which contains the biggest secret of the Talon Dynasty."

Hearing this, Ji Xun's eyes gradually deepened.

 That's right, the only place we went to before was the tomb where the “Mad King” Alduin was buried.

There must be other tombs for so many generations of emperors in the Talon Dynasty.

And what Chujiu means is that the previous palace was still the entrance to the ancestral spirits?

When he checked Chujiu's wounds before, Ji Xun found that her level of fear of wounds was very high, and the new king Arthur was no longer as simple as entering the seventh level.

It's normal if you can't beat him.

 It sounds like Chujiu missed a huge opportunity to gain inheritance.

However, thinking of "ancestral mausoleum", a coordinate suddenly popped up in Ji Xun's mind.

There is something else in his hand.

  【A mysterious note】

Detailed explanation: A sketch drawn by Master Gamil points to a certain coordinate in the Rune Highlands;
