Cataclysm King

Chapter 143 Collectors

After breakfast, Ji Xun and the housekeeper, Lao Ding, went to the homes of several rich merchants as guests.

As much as he disliked this time-wasting useless socializing, "Charlie" needed it.

This is also the daily life of nobles.

After a few trips, I got some valuable gifts and various ambiguous hints.

The day passed quickly like this.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Ji Xun took a steam car and arrived at a luxurious mansion at No. 12 Cotton Street on time.

This is Sir Romond's Xiangshan apartment, a house full of artistic atmosphere with beautiful colorful glass and gardens.

It is said that Sir Romond is a big collector in Starfall City. He did not come to Innocence City as a speculator, but really wanted to collect some good things from the Old World.

However, Ji Xun's own identity is a substitute, and he is skeptical of anyone now.

One more point.

Those guys from the Silver Moon Sect can change their skins.

Ji Xun would not be surprised that they would come out in any capacity.

"Baron Charlie, please come inside."

After getting out of the car, there was a butler and a beautiful maid waiting at the gate of the mansion for a long time.

Ji Xun looked around from the corner of his eye. This Baron Romon really had a unique vision.

Not only is the apartment inflatable, but the quality of the maids is a bit exaggerated.

In comparison, the two maids of Ji Xun Rent are a bit crooked.

Walking into the house is like entering a museum, where you can see all kinds of antiques and artworks placed in casual corners.

Flower pots, oil paintings on the walls, bookshelves, and small ornaments can all smell heavy antiques.

In those glass windows, there are some simple or exquisite cards.

Ji Xun even saw some gold quality cards!

"Hiss, this collection is really exaggerated."

Ji Xun's face was calm, but he was amazed in his heart.

Many of these items are high-quality goods in the auction house, but they are placed here casually.

In the past, I just heard that good things are in the treasure house of nobles, but now I see that it is indeed the case.

The nobles would rather put their treasures in the warehouse to eat ashes, and would not take them out for circulation in the market.

The value of this great collector's house is immeasurable.

As soon as his thoughts changed, Ji Xun was led by the maid to the living room.

When I came, there were already seven or eight people sitting here.

He glanced at them, most of them were various nobles and big businessmen whom he had seen at the Cao family's dinner yesterday.

They were familiar with each other last night, and now when he came, everyone was no stranger and greeted each other.

"Oh, here comes Lord Charles."

"Oh, I'm really envious. Baron Charlie was the only male guest who was favored by Miss Katerina and danced with him at last night's dinner."

"Where is it, it's just a little bit thicker."

"."

Ji Xun is also familiar with this kind of commercial flattery, so he responded with a smile.

Obviously, what everyone cares most about is not the baron, but the dance between him and Katerina last night.

At this time, he also took off his hat, and greeted the person on the main seat as a gentleman: "Sir Romond."

This is an old gentleman with a meticulous suit and a slightly raised mustache.

Baron Romon listened, and said steadily: "Welcome Baron Charlie to the humble house."

"Where, it is my honor to be invited by the Jazz."

As Ji Xun said, the maid beside him had already pulled the chair away.

See this and sit down.

After all, it was the first time to participate in this kind of collector exchange meeting, and he also showed the curiosity he should have.

"Oh, Sir Romond's collection is so shocking, I thought it was in the Commonwealth Museum."

"Oh my god, those cards turned out to be of gold quality. In the eyes of ordinary people, they are family heirlooms. To you, they are just ordinary ornaments."

"."

Half flattery, half genuine curiosity.

Ji Xun also took the opportunity to ask a lot of topics of interest to him.

A rainbow fart blew past, and everyone followed suit.

To a large extent, this kind of collector exchange meeting is all kinds of showing off and praise among colleagues.

If no one knows that they have these treasures in their hands, most of the fun of collecting will be lost.

After a while, people came together.

This is a small appreciation meeting with only 13 people in total.

Ji Xun observed everyone calmly.

It was not too formal an event, and Sir Romon presided over the opening: "Thank you again for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to my humble house to participate in this collector's exchange meeting. Recently, my hunter group has collected some interesting collections in the Old Continent. Without further ado, let’s take a look at my first collection [Miracle Flower Pot].”

Saying that, he clapped his hands.

Just then, a maid came up with a flower pot.

Ji Xun's gaze fell on the flowerpot, and at the same time on the maid.

Only then did he realize that the dozen or so maids he had seen in the apartment were all such attractive and well-behaved beauties.

I understood after a little thought.

Not only to appreciate the collection, it seems that the maid is also the collection of this Sir Romond.

In aristocratic circles, the quality of a maid is also a status symbol.

Ji Xun glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and the other aristocratic gentlemen seemed to be very interested in the maid, and their eyes were undisguisedly ambiguous.

The maid put the flowerpot on the booth with a smile, then took out a seed, buried it in the soil of the flowerpot, and poured water on it.

Once again, a miraculous scene appeared.

The seed germinated and burst out of the ground under the eyes of everyone, and within a few breaths, it turned into a beautiful blooming rose.

"Oh, this flower pot is really rare"

"Yeah. Looks like a magic item from at least 5000 years ago."

"What's even more rare is that the appearance is still so intact."

"."

Seeing this, everyone started to brag about business again.

Even Ji Xun was very interested in watching it.

This flower pot may not be very expensive, but it must be very rare if it is rare.

It is not always possible to find a second one in this world.

Baron Romon started, and the others also took out the collections they brought.

"This is [Alice's Dream Music Box], which has been handed down by my family for hundreds of years. It has the miraculous effect of calming the mind and falling asleep."

"This is the [Giant Bean] collected by our chamber of commerce in the ruins. It is said to be the seed of the ancient god tree"

"This is the [Pocket Watch of Belial III] bought with a lot of money. This is the most precise clock I have ever seen."

"."

A piece of collection was taken out.

It doesn't reach the level of relics, but they are all antiques with extraordinary special effects.

All kinds of weird things, Ji Xun can be regarded as a small eye-opener.

But it's just watching the whole process and touting at the right time.

After all, he has a lot of real relics in his hands, but Charlie's identity is a down and out nobleman, so there is nothing good to show.

With the display of each collection.

Ji Xun is still not sure whether this is a normal exchange of noble collectors, or someone's purposeful layout.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Baron Romon took out a collection, which made him immediately ascertain the deep meaning of this collection.

The best things are naturally put last.

Sir Romond watched everyone show their collections, and stood up again: "Next, I will show a very special collection."

With that said, everyone's curious eyes turned.

At this moment, two young maids walked in, holding an oil painting covered in wine-red satin.

Compared with oil paintings, this maid's attire is more eye-catching.

They wore transparent gauze clothes, almost completely transparent.

This kind of gauze is not only sexy and attractive, but also very period.

Ji Xun had read many ancient books before, and this sexy gauze was a special costume of the court of the Talun Dynasty.

It is said that the mad king Augustus was fond of beauty, and the maids in his palace were all in this kind of almost naked gauze clothes.

When Ji Xun saw the costumes of the two maids, he guessed that the collection might be an antique from the Talun Dynasty.

This Sir Romond's taste is indeed not bad. As soon as the two maids with excellent figures appeared on the stage, the charming atmosphere was immediately heightened.

A group of fat-headed and big-eared aristocratic gentlemen couldn't help commenting on it, and they didn't hide the desire in their eyes at all.

Ji Xun's expression was also full of interest when he saw this.

But he was thinking about it in his heart.

If it's what I think, it's time to show some traces.

The maid is still just appetizers.

Baron Romond raised his hand.

The silk on the oil painting was lifted by the maid.

This is the content of the secondary oil painting is a portrait.

Looking at the magnificent palace on the background panel, this painting seems to be some ancient queen or something big.

The wonderful thing is that even with a light veil covering her face, it makes people feel that the woman in the painting must be extremely beautiful.

The painter seemed to have used a mysterious method to show the peerless charm and mystery of this mysterious beauty after thousands of years.

Sir Romond also introduced at the right time: "The name of this painting is "Queen Montigny's Gold Necklace". The peerless beauty in the painting is said to be Queen Montigny, the last king of the Taron Dynasty. There is also a piece of this painting A special magical power, it can make people feel the ultimate joy in the world, please relax and appreciate it carefully"

Ji Xun listened to the name of the painting, and then noticed that the woman in the painting was wearing a golden necklace.

Originally, no matter how exquisite the oil painting was, no matter how important the work was, it was not very attractive to him.

But as soon as this painting came out, his eyes were attracted to it.

Because, a very magical scene was staged.

Looking at it, the person in the painting came alive!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the veiled woman in a long white dress in the painting came out gracefully from the painting.

Like a dream, it gives people a sense of shock and amazement that the beauty seems to have come from a history textbook.

The eyes of the people in the room were slack, as if they had fallen into an inextricable dreamland.

However, that's where the weirdness comes in.

As soon as this woman came out, a series of reminders immediately appeared on Ji Xun's enlightenment panel.

"You were exempted from the hypnosis of the mysterious spell 'Pleasant Dreams'"

"You are exempt from persistent Faith Pollution"

If you can't save it, that is to say, you will be recruited quietly, and you will not notice it.

Ji Xun has 【JOKER】can exempt from belief pollution.

There is also the rare relic that Xie Guozhong transferred from the headquarters of Bureau X to prevent the restraint of Yinyue leader's spiritual magic, and the spiritual magic is also exempted.

Among the people in the room, he was probably the only one who saw the abnormality at this moment.

Everyone in the room was fascinated by watching, and Ji Xun did not show any abnormalities, and his eyes were also full of confusion.

And he has already determined in his mind that this Sir Romond is a member of the Silvermoon Sect!
Or, there are many people in the room.

After thinking about it for a while, Ji Xun also confirmed that since he took out [Alice's Dream Music Box], he has actually entered the game.

The sound of music can soothe one's mind and lull one's mind to one's sleep, but it actually paves the way in advance.

And the old god that the Silvermoon Sect believed in was Arachne, the "lord of dreams and joys"!
And those beautiful maids are actually hints of happiness.

Once the desire is aroused, many pleasure spells are easier to be recruited.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun's eyes blurred, and he murmured in his heart: "Tsk tsk. It's finally here."

He approached the Silvermoon Sect because of this old mystical law.

I was worried about being hammered by Xie Guozhong a few times before, so I didn't dare to show my face.

Seeing that these guys are still active now is really good news for him personally.

However, it's not all illusions.

Although Ji Xun was exempted from the mental illusion, he actually watched a masked woman walk out of the oil painting.

And not surprisingly, this woman might be the mysterious leader Yinyue.

She appeared here, most likely because she wanted to personally pollute these newcomers.

Ji Xun could also guess the purpose of their coming.

The high-ranking aristocrats have masters around them, and ordinary people with unknown backgrounds have no possibility of approaching them.

If you approach rashly, you will be suspicious.

And these down-and-out nobles are the best springboard.

People of the old sect are not afraid of being undercover.

After all, if you dare to send an undercover agent to believe in the high-latitude method that pollution can change people's cognition, you can instigate rebellion at any time.

They didn't even have to investigate the identity of the person invited.

Ji Xun can also guess that those people came to him, or the high profile last night played a role.

The reminder of the exemption from the pollution of faith is still flashing.

Instead, Ji Xun became more and more looking forward to it.

After pollution, everyone is "one of our own".

At that time, all kinds of things will be convenient.

But he also heard from Xie Guozhong before that belief pollution is not something that can be achieved overnight, but like a psychedelic drug, it needs a little bit of addiction.

There should be means behind.

After a while, everyone woke up from the dream state.

Each of them breathed heavily, but their expressions suddenly darkened, as if enjoying the emptiness after enjoying the ultimate pleasure.

Ji Xun also acted according to this situation.

He has read a lot of books related to mysterious spells. There is still a limit to physical pleasure, but there is no upper limit to spiritual pleasure.

They are not immune to belief pollution, cognition has been tampered with to some extent.

No one suspected anything.

But Ji Xun is also very clear that even if the performance is flawless, he has actually exposed something.

After a while, the collector's exchange will end.

Everyone thanked Sir Romond one after another and left.

Before leaving, almost everyone received a small gift from Sir Romond.

But Ji Xun received two beautiful maids.

In aristocratic circles, this exchange of handmaidens was not surprising.

I thought it was probably used to continuously pollute myself.

He was also polite and accepted it directly.

And it was after these guests left Xiangshan Apartment.

In front of the windows on the second floor.

Sir Romond looked at the vehicle driving away in front of him, his eyes were deep, and he said: "Boss, five of the people invited today are all unfamiliar faces who have recently come to Innocence City. Which one do you think is suitable?"

There was also a masked woman standing beside him.

If Ji Xun is here, he can recognize that this is the one who walked out of the painting before.

The masked woman pondered for a moment, and said, "Looking at the background, none of them are of much use value. But one of them is indeed suspicious. Moreover, it should be someone sent by Bureau X."
