Cataclysm King

Chapter 556: The Deal with Marshal Andre

“It’s coming so fast.”

Ji Xun used the Curse God Card to banish the terrifying dragon breath, but he couldn't help but feel a fishy and burning sensation in his throat and spit out another mouthful of blood.

It’s not that he is too arrogant and wants to try the ninth-level methods head-on.

Instead, they must let this person know that they are capable of protecting themselves.

Only then are you qualified to negotiate terms.

The reason they didn't quickly clean up the battlefield and leave was because they didn't care about being found by the Grand Marshal of the Iris Legion.

Even if this person doesn't come, they are prepared to go to his house.

Because Ji Xun guessed that the drawings and some key components of the Titan armor should still be in Andre's hands.

It was not destroyed.

Now that we have the equipment, we must of course consider those drawings as well.

Compared to looking for this person in the heavily guarded military camp, it is more appropriate to be found by the other party.

Before the other party could make another move, Ji Xun said, "Marshal Andre, how about a deal?"

As he spoke, he had a calm smile on his face, without showing any timidity at all.

It was this calm attitude that made Andre stop his hand and show a playful look like a hunter looking at prey trapped in a trap.

"Oh, deal. What qualifications do you have to discuss a deal with me?"

Although he said this, a hint of caution flashed across Andre's eyes.

He knew very well that if he could kill him, he would have done it the moment they met just now.

The strength of the people in front of him far exceeded his imagination.

While speaking, the Grand Marshal glanced at the Curse God Card in Ji Xun's hand, then looked at the [Sismak Holy Grail] floating next to Chujiu, and then at the spell that Nan Jing's men used to break through the void. His expression was fierce, but more of it was confusion.

The composure of the three men made even this top human card master a little unsure.

When did so many powerful people appear in the Eastern Wilderness?

Judging from the situation, he is not from the Oran Royal Court.

What is the beginning?
Andre is no fool.

When he chased out just now, he had actually guessed that he had been deliberately lured here by someone.

Being able to ascend to the position of Grand Marshal of the Red Dragon Kingdom, he must be well versed in political intrigue.

He knew very well that he was being used to deal with the chosen one of the moon goddess Arachne.

But he still chased after her.

First, the purpose was to wait for the "big fish" to take the bait. Now that the Moon Goddess has come, there is no reason to let her go.

Also, he didn't feel any threat from the people who set up the trap.

As planned, we caught them red-handed when we returned.

But now that he wasn't killed, things became a little intriguing.

Although Andre still felt that the four people in front of him posed some threat, he was more curious about what these people had to say.

As soon as Ji Xun saw the other party's suspicious expression, he knew that the marshal in front of him did not know the origin of this [JOKER] Curse God Card.

Come to think of it, the people in the Holy See probably wouldn't publicize the fact that he killed the Holy Son of Heavenly Dragon.

But Ji Xun didn't want to explain any more, and said bluntly: "I need the remaining things you got from the secret mechanical research institute. For example, those mechanical drawings."

"drawing?"

Andre suddenly realized that this was what they were here for.

He was also more certain that the people in front of him were not from the Oran Royal Court.

Otherwise, I wouldn't take such a big risk just for some drawings.

Andre did not respond, but asked: "Are you from the East Desert Alliance Army?"

"."

Ji Xun and the other two didn't say anything.

However, the old fox keenly grasped something, sneered, and said: "Oh. That's the person who rebelled against the Dragon Army."

"."

Ji Xun and the other two remained silent.

Being guessed was expected, but it didn’t matter.

After all, there are only a few forces that need these equipment and drawings.

Although the Rebel Dragon Army has been lingering on in the southern continent, that is because the three major kingdoms are powerful enough.

And in the Old Road, the Rebel Dragon Army is an organization that no great lord can underestimate.

Ji Xun didn't give the other party a chance to attack, and said: "Your Excellency Marshal, those drawings are useless if you keep them now. For us, they are not indispensable."

"."

Andre hesitated for a rare moment.

Just as Ji Xun guessed, if he really had to be wary, he felt that the threat posed by the Rebel Dragon Army was even greater than that of the Oran Royal Court in the East Wilderness.

After all, they have not been wiped out in the southern continent for so many years, so they have both strength and foundation.

The people in front of me are really members of the Rebel Dragon Army, and it is really difficult to kill them.

After all, he had personally experienced the methods of the Dragon Rebellion leader "Faded" Griffith.

If you really want to kill someone, you will be retaliated against.

Another point is that you cannot kill.

Before, the Dragon Rebel Army was the rebel force of the entire southern continent, and they would definitely not be let go if they were encountered.

But now in the Old World, their Iris Legion wants to build an independent territory, and it is not wise to cause this trouble.

As for those mechanical drawings
Previously, it could be said to be a strategic bait.

But now the City of Innocence has been destroyed. If I keep it in my hands any longer, others will be able to use it against me, which will cause endless troubles.

Even if he really had ideas about these mechanical drawings, mechanical technology would still be "taboo" before the battle between the two Dragon Gods in the southern continent was decided.

Keeping it privately will arouse the suspicion of the Dragon God.

What’s more, mechanical technology cannot be manufactured just by having blueprints.

The level of technology in the southern continent is almost zero. There is not even anyone who can understand blueprints, let alone factories and experienced mechanics.

These drawings will be of no use to us for a long time to come and will just be a pile of waste paper.

In an instant, the old fox thought of too many things.

At this time, Ji Xun didn't say anything more. He just took out a row of red potions sealed with lead and threw them over.

Andre was not afraid of what the potion might contain and took it.

Ji Xun tried his best to use traditional words that the people of the southern continent could understand, and introduced: "This is the [Human Gene Anchoring Potion], and its function is just as its name suggests. After injection, the potion can anchor the human gene bloodline. It is used to prevent the card master from being distorted when advancing to the beast sequence. And its most special effect is to anchor the human main gene chain so that it will not be contaminated, and make the alien bloodline in the body become auxiliary."

"."

Hearing this, a gleam of brilliance that was not easily noticed by others flashed across Andre's eyes, and he could not hide his surprise: There is such a blood potion?
If it was a treasure, even if it was a divine weapon, it would not move him so much.

But it was this bloodline potion!
Because the effect of the potion is enough to change his fate, the fate of the territory, and even the future structure of the entire plane!

Although the dragon bloodline is very strong, it also has a huge disadvantage, which is that it will be suppressed by higher-level dragon bloodlines.

Dragons are a mythical overlord race, born with bloodline dominance over lower creatures.

The ability to enslave and rule living beings is inherited in their blood.

Even a pure-blooded dragon that had just hatched from an egg could make this ninth-rank Grand Marshal kneel down and pay his respects.

This is not just the rule in the southern continent.

It is also the kind of irresistible suppression at the blood level.

Dragonborn are actually slaves of dragons.

Even if Andre succeeds in reaching the god level in the future, he will still be a servant of the Dragon God.

Even if he established his own territory in the Central Continent in the future, Andre knew very well that he would still have to submit to the dragon clan.

Bloodline is like a collar around a slave's neck. Without the master's permission, there will never be freedom.

This may not matter to low-level card masters, but for him, a top card master who is about to condense godhood, it is unbearable.

But there was nothing we could do before.

But now, Andre saw another possibility!
This made his anticipation burn more and more intensely.

If this potion can really anchor human blood as claimed,
Then,

He has already seen the "key" to unlock the slave collar around his neck!
Countless complicated thoughts flashed through Andre's mind in an instant, but his expression did not change at all.

He carefully observed the expressions of Ji Xun and the others, trying to find any signs of conspiracy.

However, no matter how he looked at it, he firmly believed that the man in front of him was telling the truth.

Ji Xun certainly knew that the Grand Marshal was moved.

After all, the reason he dared to stay and negotiate the deal was because this was a condition that a top dragonborn could never refuse.

Ji Xun continued, "This is my deal. I came here in a hurry, so I don't have much medicine with me. But it's enough for you to test whether the effect is as I said. If you think this deal is suitable, I will send another batch later, and the quantity can be negotiated. Of course, this medicine is very expensive, if you need a lot, we can also negotiate a sale. Or, I can sell the formula to you."

This is a very clever statement, it is a statement: if you kill me, you won't be able to get the subsequent potions or the formula.

This [Anchoring Potion] was originally designed to target the Dragonborn of the Southern Continent. The wider the formula is spread, the better, and of course there is no need to worry about it being leaked.

As long as the other party agrees, they will not be enemies in the future, but will be cooperative allies in certain interest chains. At least, Marshal Andre and the kingship of the Southern Continent will no longer be a monarch-subject relationship.

Since they sell the formula, there must be nothing wrong with the medicine.

In fact, Andre was already tempted by this condition.

It was totally worth it to exchange a batch of blueprints that were completely worthless to him for the potion that could change the fate of the Dragonborn.

However, this battle-hardened marshal will not let anyone lead him by the hand.

From the moment I was lured here by someone, to the moment I made the transaction, everything was calculated by someone.

The arrogance of the Dragonborn is etched in their blood, let alone this Grand Marshal who has already touched the highest level of humanity.

His strength and status also allow him to look down on anyone.

"Humph! I think killing you is a better option!"

Without any warning, the murderous intent that had been suppressed just now burst out like a dam breaking, and the dragon fist that distorted the space punched out.

Ji Xun looked at him with a hint of helplessness between his brows.

He knew that the Marshal did not really want to kill anyone, but he was just trying to save face and teach him a lesson.

Also give him some way out.

[Starry Sky Exile] is more convenient for dealing with this kind of frontal impact than Nan Jing and Chu Jiu's methods. Ji Xun didn't even think about it. He waved his hand and used this magic for the third time.

Although it was blocked, Nan Jing beside him seemed to have discovered something and frowned in worry for a moment.

It was difficult to say anything at this moment, so she didn't say much.

Ji Xun had already been severely injured by Queen Orlan, and now he had used magic three times in a row, and his body had reached its limit.

The blood oozing from the corner of his mouth could hardly hide his embarrassment.

But his expression was still relaxed, and he said, "I said it before. Although you are very strong, we know we are no match for you. But the means my partner and I have are enough to leave. You can't keep us."

"."

Andre said nothing more.

Lessons have been learned.

He knew that if he pressed on, the people in front of him would really run away.

But it felt a little bit lacking to ask him to agree just like that.

It's not just a matter of face.

It was also because he knew that even without this transaction, those [Anchoring Potions] would definitely appear on the market in the future.

These people in front of me have big plans.

You've been taken advantage of, and you still have to give the other party the blueprints?

snort!
Andre just couldn't swallow this humiliation.

However, just as he was thinking about how to get more bargaining chips, he heard a cold voice in his ear: "I can also give you a secret method of condensing the godhood in the war sequence. But that's all. If you continue to make things difficult, the deal will be cancelled."

There was no hesitation in his tone, and people could hear the decisiveness of leaving as soon as he said he would.

Ji Xun glanced and saw that it was Chujiu who spoke.

Hearing this, Andre was really moved and couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any experience in the secret method of condensing the godhood?"

If the potion was a condition he could not refuse, he could get it in the future.

Now this new condition is something he cannot refuse.

If you miss it, you will really lose a great opportunity!

It is not easy to condense the godhood. Even if he is well prepared, he is not sure at all.

If there really is a secret method of divinity, he would never let it go!
In fact, Andre had already noticed the cloaked Chujiu before, not because of her strength, but because of the holy grail flying around her.

Being able to control the Holy Grail of Royal Power means that this person is a person with a royal destiny.

And there is no doubt that he must be a member of the royal family of the royal court in Donghuang.

Chujiu didn't say any more words and responded, "Yes."

Her destiny as a king has now taken shape, and her words have the domineering power of an emperor who always keeps his word.

"."

Andre listened to Chujiu's tone and his eyes twitched slightly.

A strong desire to kill this person with royal destiny arose in my mind.

But he suppressed it in an instant.

The two kings of the Eastern Wilderness are fighting for the throne, which is a good thing for him.

There's no need to do it yourself.

He asked directly: "Are you the descendant of Augustus?"

"Yes."

Chujiu looked at the person in front of him coldly, not hiding his displeasure at being pried into, and he no longer had any interest in continuing to talk.

Seeing this, Andre hesitated for a moment, but rarely agreed decisively: "Okay!"

Only a descendant of the royal family of Augustus could come up with the secret method of condensing the godhead.

The old marshal made a decision, but he was also very hesitant. He directly threw a storage ring over and said, "Everything you want is in here."

He didn't seem to be afraid at all that the person in front of him would take the things and run away.

Ji Xun took the ring and looked at the densely packed drawings and small parts inside. He nodded and said, "You are so straightforward! We will deliver the things we promised you to your territory in the future."

Chujiu didn't waste any time and directly threw out a piece of iron scroll.

Andre grabbed the iron certificate and took a look at it. His pupils suddenly shrank: It was indeed the secret method of the divine nature!
He glanced at Ji Xun and the others, his eyes flickering several times.

If possible, he really wanted to force these people to stay.

If one of these things can be taken out, there must be others.

However, as soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Andre suppressed his murderous intent.

He knew very well that if his Iris Legion chose to break away from the control of the Holy See and build a territory in the Central Continent in the future, it would be better not to make enemies with the Rebel Dragon Army.

Besides, he also has a strong intuition.

I really can't keep these people in front of me.

"Good! I hope the things you promised will be delivered as soon as possible."

Andre didn't want to stay any longer and turned to leave.

At this time, Ji Xun suddenly asked another question: "By the way, I also want to ask His Excellency Marshal, what happened to the Moon God's Chosen One?"

Andre didn't want to answer at first, but he knew that these people were enemies of the Orlan Royal Court and he was happy to see them clash, so he said, "I hurt him badly, and his faith power that he had worked so hard to gather was reduced to 50% to 60%. He won't dare to show up again for a long time in the future."

Before he finished speaking, the person had disappeared.

When Ji Xun heard the news, the smile on his face became even brighter.

Today's experience really solved a lot of problems.

As soon as Andre left, the suffocating atmosphere instantly dissipated.

Ji Xun and the other two were not affected at all, after all, this was a plan that had been discussed long ago.

However, Reni, who had been behind them and was completely unaware of what was happening, finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

He watched the person really leave, and then he realized that his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

The scenes just now really used up all the shock in Rennie's life.

This guy Ji Xun actually negotiated a deal with the Marshal of the Iris Legion, and it worked?

Thinking back again,

From the duel at the beginning, to the sneak attack by Queen Orlan, to the current transaction
It turns out this was all this guy's plan.

Do not!
The plan had already started when Hong Lou met him.

Moreover, the impact of this plan is far-reaching and goes far beyond the present.

When Rennie thought of this, he couldn't help but take a breath.

The cold sweat on his forehead was not only due to the pressure from a ninth-level strong man, but also due to his admiration for Ji Xun's far-sighted layout.

It turns out that without realizing it, the gap has become so big that I need to look up to others.

However, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Nan Jing discovered that Ji Xun was in a very bad condition, and couldn't help but worry: "The divine power of your wound is spreading."

Chujiu also cast a concerned look, "How are you?"

Ji Xun grinned and wanted to say "It's okay".

However, he found that as soon as he opened his mouth, his vision went dark and his whole body collapsed uncontrollably.

Nan Jing was quick to lift him onto his shoulders and pouted: "Still trying to be brave!"

Smelling the faint fragrance entering his nostrils, Ji Xun felt himself trapped in a gentle touch.

Before he fell into coma, the corners of his mouth still raised a little arc, and he said in a dreamy voice: "Sorry to bother you."

Nan Jing seemed dissatisfied, but could not hide his concern, and muttered: "You always do this nonsense."

From the very beginning when they met, they knew that Ji Xun had this kind of personality.

This guy always finds fun dancing on the edge of a knife.
