Cataclysm King

Chapter 333 Vientiane Runes
Ji Xun listened to the old man's account of the top secrets of the Talon Dynasty's court, and basically confirmed that what Emperor Lanlingst had most likely fused was the [JOKER] mark.

At the same time, he also thought of another question.

Is that why the demon mark appears in the extradimensional space?
Under normal circumstances, the epic source card will inevitably be parsed after death, and it will also be obtained by others.

Just like the two source cards [Tyrant] and [White Queen] inherited from Augustus, they have been passed down from generation to generation in the royal family.

If it appears in a different dimensional space.
Ji Xun now knows that it is possible that the original fusion person died unexpectedly.

Either died in another dimension;
Or he died in some unknown area that human beings cannot reach.

Such as the rifts in the world between continental plates.

A certain high-dimensional existence that Ji Xun temporarily recognizes as the "will of the world" will help recover it and let it reappear in the exploration rewards of the extra-dimensional space.

This is also the case for unique but very important ancient relics such as [Hero's Cloak], [Sismark Holy Grail], [Power Gem Golden Ball], etc.

This is also the reason why Ji Xun got [Gray JOKER] in "407 Abnormal Biology Research Institute".

But how could Emperor Lanlingster end the Era of Chaos and establish such a powerful Talon Empire?

If he had not died violently, shouldn't his demonic mark be passed on to the Augustus family?
Or another possibility:

What Emperor Lanlingst merged with was not the gray clown, but another colorful clown?
Ji Xun doesn't know.

No one could explain it to him.

He looked through a lot of information, but none of the classics mentioned this sequence.

The world only knows the "Fifty-Two Sequence".

Friends around him also knew about Ji Xun's situation.

But except for Jia Yu, the leader of the Illuminati Monastery, no one has heard of [JOKER].

Even if the mushroom head knew it, he could only decipher a few words from the cipher text tablet passed down by the Illuminati.

It’s not clear what this clown sequence is about.

And listening to the tone of the tomb protector who had lived for three thousand years, it seemed that she didn't know either.

[JOKER] is like two special secret cards hidden outside the fifty-two divine sequence.

It is hidden in the shadow of history and unknown.

For a time, Ji Xun had many doubts in his mind.

Just as he was thinking about it, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and happened to make eye contact with Chujiu beside him.

Apparently this old friend thought of the same problem tacitly.

She also planned to clarify her doubts, so she turned to the old man and asked bluntly: "The ancestor of Lanlingst was also buried in the ancestral mausoleum?"

"Your Majesty, you don't know?"

The old man asked back, suddenly enlightened, and murmured to himself: "Oh"

She didn't say the second half of the sentence, but she had already guessed it.

The struggle for royal power is not new.

In the long history of the Talon Empire, there have been many battles for the throne between brothers and fathers and sons.

But this is a matter between the blood descendants of Augustus and cannot be interfered by outsiders.

As an internal official who writes palace history, it is best to record it truthfully.

She only needs to know that the person in front of her is the first heir to the royal power in line with the ancestral precepts of the palace.

The old man didn't think about asking anything, and responded directly: "Emperor Lanlingst was not buried in the ancestral mausoleum. Because the emperor went to the abyss to explore the ultimate secret of the world. He never came back."

"."

As soon as these words came out, Ji Xun and the other three people had different expressions.

Emperor Lanlingster must have reached the pinnacle of the world, and there are not many things that can be called "secrets" in his eyes.

Went to the Abyss Rift?

Ji Xun himself was also curious about what was at the end of the abyss.

Also, what is extradimensional space, and what is the will of the world?
Chujiu asked directly: "What is under the rift in the world?"

This is also a question that everyone is curious about.

As of right now, no one knows.

People only know that the gravity of the crack is in the opposite direction, and it can only be crossed through the iron chain.

There seems to be some terrifying existence in the void of the crack. Even if it has the ability to fly, if it doesn't follow the iron chain, it will definitely go there and never return.

Ji Xun heard from Gong Wu that he had gone down tens of thousands of meters of cracks along the rock wall many times, but he still couldn't reach the end and almost got lost. In the end, he returned without success.

Just when the three of them looked expectantly, the old man shook his head: "No one knows."

After pondering for a moment, she said in a deep tone: "It is recorded in the internal history of the palace that the emperor had explored the endless abyss in the gaps between continents many times, but after he came back, he did not tell anyone what he saw. The old slave is in the history books The most detailed record I have ever seen in the book only contains a few words in the original text: 'The emperor returned injured from the abyss and was shut up for several months.'"

"."

Ji Xun and the others frowned slightly as they listened.

My appetite was whetted, but my doubts were not resolved.

But from this sentence, it seems that there is indeed something terrifying in the abyss that can hurt Emperor Lanlingst.

At this time, the old man said again: "The last time there is a record, the emperor went to the end of the rift in the southern continent and never came back."

The ninth day of the lunar month: "Southern Continent?"

"Yes. Southern Continent."

The old man nodded, knowing why the three of them were confused, and explained: "Actually, the Southern Continent also has a name in the legend, called 'Origin Continent'. It is said that before the Era of Chaos, the birthplace of our human card masters was over there. That area The mainland has a high legal limit and rich products, but the living environment is extremely harsh. There are also many mythical species such as dragons and giants living there. Humans are just a very inconspicuous lower race, and survival is very difficult in Middle-earth. It is suitable for human habitation, so they migrated here later.”

It turned out to be the case.

Ji Xun had heard from Aragorn and Alice before that the environment in the Southern Continent was harsh, but the creatures were tyrannical.

I thought it was some undeveloped wilderness.

Unexpectedly, it was the other way around. Where was the birthplace of Card Master civilization?
The old man knew that ordinary people would be curious when hearing such news. She added in a slightly warning tone: "But your Majesty, don't take it too seriously. Even in the secret history of the palace, these are just ancient legends that have not been confirmed. Before the Era of Chaos, it was a forgotten timeline. The Emperor went to the Southern Continent also to explore the historical truth."

Chujiu nodded: "Yes."

Of course Ji Xun is also curious.

But he also knows his own strength.

Don’t think about unrealistic things for the time being.

From the old man's words, Ji Xun guessed that Emperor Lanlingst most likely died in the Southern Continent.

Coupled with the "M" signature on the mark, it is basically certain that the person is the fused [Gray JOKER].

Small talk is small talk.

The duty of this tombkeeper is to guide the new emperor to obtain the inheritance of Augustus.

The topic returned to this [Emperor Stone Tablet].

The old man looked at Chujiu and continued: "The emperor has concentrated his whole life's wisdom on the big rune of this stone tablet. Everyone sees and understands differently. This is also the only entrance to the ancestral spirit. Only if your Majesty understands the inheritance left on the stone tablet, can you gain the approval of the ancestors and enter the imperial mausoleum to find the secrets left by the previous emperors."

Chujiu: "Thanks for the advice."

As she spoke, her eyes also fell on the content of the stone tablet.

At this glance, it was as if he was addicted to it, his pupils dilated, and a faint aura could be seen overflowing.

Ji Xun looked at Chujiu's expression and thought of the previous scene at the ruins of Xia Mu City.

At that time, Catalina also read the stone tablet under the guidance of Old Man Xu, and she was in the same state of enlightenment.

Thinking about it, Ji Xun was also confused: This [Great Emperor Stone Stele] was confirmed to be the Great Rune, so what was carved on those [Forbidden Ruins Stone Steles]?
This curiosity drove Ji Xun to eagerly see what was on the stone tablet.

But after all, this is the secret of the Augustus royal family. Due to emotions and reasons, he, an outsider, would not dare to look at it.

Without thinking, at this moment, the girl next to me looked confused and cute, and spoke directly: "Senior, can we see this emperor's stone tablet?"

Of course, this "we" also brings in good friends.

Ji Xun admired in his heart as he listened: This girl is so sensible.

It is not easy for outsiders to speak up, but it is different for the high priest.

Even if you can't see it, there is no taboo in asking.

Sure enough, when the old man heard the inquiry, he responded happily: "This emperor's stone tablet is originally the secret treasure of our Talun inheritance. Mr. Nan, you are the high priest of the empire and are in charge of everything in the ancestral tomb. Instead, this old slave overstepped the bounds."

"what?"

Nan Jing was slightly startled, is this still his job?

As he said that, the old man also answered another question in his words: "And when the emperor left this stone tablet, he originally wanted to leave the inheritance to future generations, and it was not limited to the palace. As long as His Majesty and Mr. Nan agree, others can also see it have to."

Upon hearing this clear answer, the confusion between Ji Xun's brows immediately dissipated. Before he could speak, Nan Jing blinked and asked again: "Can we see in our current state?"

This is also what Ji Xun is worried about.

I almost got lost when I looked at the "little runes" outside. Now this stone tablet has higher-end extraordinary content, and it is impossible to look at it casually.

Ji Xun originally thought that some special protective measures were needed, but the old man said casually: "Of course it's okay."

Before the two of them could get confused, she explained kindly: "The 'little runes' outside make people feel uncomfortable because Mr. Nan's realm has vaguely touched that limit. He can see those extraordinary messages. It will flood into the mind and cause hidden dangers, but it doesn't matter. It's like the laws of the universe we live in at all times. It is flowing around us all the time, but if we don't reach the realm, we can't see the laws of the universe, and the big rune is the embodiment of the original law. "

Nan Jing said thoughtfully: "Oh."

Ji Xun also understood.

It turns out that my realm is too low to see, but I don’t need to worry?

Both of them knew very well that these words were meant to popularize science, but they were also intended to guide their thinking.

Ji Xun heard these words vaguely familiar.

He remembered what Qin Ru said at the time.

Now that he could see, Ji Xun looked at the stone tablet.

When I didn't focus on the stone tablet before, I seemed to see that the stone tablet was densely packed with various mysterious symbols circulating in front of my eyes.

But when he really looked over, he saw nothing.

Very strange feeling.

If you observe normal things, they will become more and more clear and will appear in your senses.

But the content of the stele is the opposite.

If you don't look, it's there; if you look, it slips away and disappears.

In an instant, Ji Xun knew what the old man meant.

His current realm is too different to understand.

"Big Rune" is completely beyond the range that his five senses can currently accept.

Ji Xun had no intention of giving up.

Thinking about Yan Guo plucking his hair, he has to figure out something.

But at the same time, he did not forget some of the worries that had occurred to him before.

The "Seven Monarchs of Natural Disaster" and the Southern Continent are looking for jars. Jia Yu must be ventilated, and the sooner the better.

Understanding the stele may take a long time.

Ji Xun didn't dare to delay.

Just as he was thinking about whether to leave first, Nan Jing beside him turned his head and asked, "Mr. Ji Xun, what's wrong?"

Ji Xun told him his plan.

This matter involved too much and he couldn't use the communicator. He originally planned to go there in person.

But I didn't expect that this Miss Meathead proposed a better plan: "Do you want to send a letter to the leader of the monastery?"

Ji Xun nodded: "Yeah."

Except for Mushroom Head, he didn't think anyone could handle the news better.

"That's easy to handle!"

Nan Jing patted his majestic chest and said: "I have been in contact with the Hermitage before. In order to facilitate contact, I established a psychic contract with their intelligence officer. There is no need for Mr. Ji Xun to go there in person, I will let him Just use the psychic kid to deliver the message. It’s almost impossible to leak it if you go to the underworld.”

Ji Xun: "Oh?"

The intelligence officer of the monastery is the "fire bearer" Irene.

I have played cards with him before and he is a very reliable and mysterious legend.

Nan Jing said, "Just give me the letter you wrote."

Ji Xun stopped writing, took out a pen and paper, and started writing.

He used encryption techniques that only he and Jia Yu could decipher, and wrote down everything he knew and some conjectures in the letter.

If the person delivering the message doesn't know the content, it's even less likely that it will be lost to mysterious spells.

Nan Jing channeled an ugly toad, swallowed the letter, and then disappeared into the channeling array.

Ji Xun also found it magical when he saw it, and thought of the way she channeled a Chujiu method in the mausoleum.

This method is indeed safer and more efficient than delivering human flesh from others.

After sending the letter, Ji Xun's messy thoughts were completely gone.

He looked at the stone tablet again.

Time passed in a flash.

After watching it for nearly half an hour, I still gained nothing.

With a glance from the corner of his eye, the old man guarding the tomb looked like a sculpture, standing aside completely lifeless.

Of the three people in the room, only Ji Xun could still be distracted.

Chujiu was already immersed in the state of enlightenment after studying the stone tablet, with a faint chill lingering all over his body.

The cold air intertwined and lingered, as if following some special law, gradually forming a unique field.

Although Ji Xun's current realm is not high, he can already see that this is the prototype of the "domain" formed by the law.

He has mastered [Natural Disaster and Earth Ming], and after mastering it, he can understand the "Earth Ming Domain".

"It seems that Chujiu must have touched the secrets of the field."

Ji Xun was happy for his old friend.

At the same time, I also lamented that this [Emperor Stone Tablet] is really a good thing.

Looking again, the crystal eyes of the Miss Meathead next to her also lost their agility and were replaced by a mist-like depth.

It seems that he has understood something.

After such a comparison, Ji Xun really felt that he was the only one who was almost uninterested.

But come to think of it.

This [Emperor's Stone Tablet] is a legacy of the Talun Dynasty. Chujiu and Nanjing are both descendants of a royal family and a high priest. The content on it must be more suitable for them.

Just like many career sequences are passed down from family, because blood can also inherit many extraordinary characteristics.

A thought flashed across Ji Xun's mind.

However, as he was thinking about it, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Hey, that's not right."

Ji Xun thought of a question: "Since Emperor Lanlingst is also the inheritor of [JOKER], shouldn't I be more suitable?"

Just like the copper plate of inheritance that records the fifty-two magical mysteries, only with the blessing of the demon god in the corresponding professional sequence can the most accurate inheritance be read and understood.

Could it be that this stone tablet is in the same situation?
Thinking of this, Ji Xun's expression showed a hint of hesitation.

But just a second later, he was ready to try.

The magic power rolled, and the clown's phantom behind him suddenly entered the state of demonic solution.

Magic solution can bless temporary understanding, and the efficiency of understanding will be greatly improved.

The most important thing is that Ji Xun wants to verify whether activating the power of the devil can really reveal something on this stone tablet.

I didn't do this before because I felt that as an outsider, if I could see this [Emperor's Stone Tablet], I would be taking advantage of my friends, and it would not be good to usurp the guest.

Now, it seems I have to be thicker-skinned.

Chujiu and Nanjing will definitely not mind.

As for the tomb guard.
Ji Xun felt that he was a thick-skinned junior, and such an old-timer would definitely not say anything.

Stop distracting thoughts.

As soon as the clown's shadow appeared, the world in his eyes was completely different.

With the blessing of the demon god, Ji Xun looked at the stone tablet again, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

Because at this moment, he discovered that those mysterious symbols really remained in his field of vision!
And it's not obscure or difficult to understand, but there's an inexplicable sense of fit.

It feels like a wheel mark on a rough road leading into the distance. The other carriages were bumpy due to different sizes. As for Ji Xun himself, the distance between the wheels of the car exactly matched the wheel marks.

"Really!"

Ji Xun felt happy.

At this moment, when he looked at the stone tablet again, although there was no text, he suddenly realized the general idea contained in those symbols: Vientiane Runes!
