Cataclysm King.

Chapter 548 The mysterious man enters the city with a jar

Ji Xun had a good impression of Reni.

After all, the professional template [Thousand-Hand Magic] he used when he was promoted to the sixth level was obtained from Reni, the masterpiece left behind by the master of puppets of the puppet family "Cunning Puppet" Yami more than 200 years ago. Cards.

There is also the "Senji Puppet Divine Gate", a magical and mysterious method that allows people to multi-task, which was also learned from Reni.

This has been of great help to Ji Xun to reach this point.

Seeing an old acquaintance appear in Hong Lou, Ji Xun couldn't help but guess: "Is it because of me?"

He and Reni got to know each other because of the inheritance relic of the God of Play clan [Gray Mist Relic].

Ji Xun's witch deformation was out of control before, and he had thought about using that relic to peel off that part of his uncontrolled consciousness.

However, the Oran Royal Court had been successfully restored at that time, and the Silver Moon Sect had swept the entire Eastern Wasteland. The Rat Camp in the sewers of Gypsy City also didn't find Lenny.

Ji Xun left an encrypted message in Ji Xun City.

They agreed that if they saw it, they would meet in Innocence City and borrow the relic.

But later on when he went to South Main Road, the witch aberration also found the succubus secret method to suppress it, so he was no longer in a hurry to find someone.

I didn’t expect to meet him in Honglou now.

Reni is the grandfather of Chujiu and Nanjing. Although the two girls have heard of him, they don't know him personally.

Nan Jing listened to the experience of Ji Xun and Reni's acquaintance, but she was more concerned about Ji Xun's physical condition, and agreed: "Well, [Gray Mist Relic] can indeed solve the problem of witch distortion. But that method It will strip away part of the cognition, and the cost is not small, and you may directly become crazy. "

She only learned this after inheriting the lineage of the high priest.

As she spoke, she thought of something else and added: "The [Grey Mist Relic] is an inherited treasure given to the God of Play clan by Emperor Lanlingst. It is said that there are some fragments of the emperor's consciousness left in it."

But as soon as she said these words, her expression became slightly strange, as if she was hiding something.

When Ji Xun saw the "M" signature on the relic before, he actually guessed that it was a relic of the Great Emperor.

Now looking at Nan Jing to confirm this statement, he also guessed why her expression was a little weird, so he asked directly: "Is the witch consciousness stripped away by Emperor Lanlingst in the relic?"

"Um."

After hearing what Ji Xun said, Nan Jing's expression became natural.

She blinked and asked curiously: "How do you know?"

Ji Xun smiled and explained: "I have seen the appearance of the Great Emperor and Witch in another dimension."

When Nan Jing heard this, he was immediately surprised and said, "Huh? Ji Xun, do you know that His Majesty the Emperor has transformed into a witch? Have you ever seen him before?"

Even Chujiu, who had always been expressionless, still had a look of great interest in his eyes.

But after all, Emperor Lanlingster was Chujiu's ancestor, and he was also considered a close person to Nanjing's ancestors. It was naturally not good to gossip about his ancestors.

Ji Xun had no such scruples, "Yes."

He smiled and added: "Emperor Lanlingst sealed the 'Scarlet Corruption Seiadis' in the Southern Continent. It was very early in time, and the Talon Empire may not have been established at that time. At that time, he was a witch. Later, he was a witch. After Talon was founded, the epic recorded that he was no longer a witch. I suspected at that time that he either had to find a way to reverse the distortion, or that he had stripped away the witch-related consciousness and changed back to his gender."

Soul reversal is not feasible, so it can only be stripped away.

"I see."

Through time and space, they heard the interesting gossip about their ancestors from hundreds of thousands of years ago, and both Chujiu and Nanjing listened with interest.

After listening to Ji Xun's story about that magical experience, both women felt it was amazing.

But Miss Ballhead’s focus is obviously not on the technical aspects of witch stripping.

Because she really understands this.

Instead, she rolled her eyes and curiously asked a question that seemed to be insignificant: "Well... was His Majesty the Emperor good-looking during the witch period?"

Ji Xun looked at the gossipy eyes and his eyebrows moved slightly.

Obviously, the high priest knew some "ancient rumors".

Just like the talking mirror on the [Neon] Netherworld Train where immortals from the Bai family have lived for generations. The activation spell is "Mirror, Mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in the world", and the answer is "Of course it is Emperor Lanlingst who turned into a witch."

At first I thought it was a prank by the ancestors of the Bai family.

But it turns out that it was not a joke, but a fact.

Ji Xun still remembers that shocking beauty, so he smiled and said, "Of course. Emperor Lanlingst in the witch state is very stunning."

When Nan Jing heard this, the fire of gossip burned in his eyes, and he asked: "How beautiful is it?"

Ji Xun's guess was correct. There had always been this rumor in the Nan family's inheritance that was unknown to outsiders. That's why she was even more curious to find out what the legendary and incomparably beautiful Emperor Lanlingster looked like.

Although Chujiu didn't speak, he was obviously very interested.

Ji Xun didn't know how to describe it either.

I wanted to draw it.

But he felt that no matter how he painted, he could never paint the original charm of the emperor in his memory.

For an existence at that level, appearance only accounts for a small part of her charm. The most special thing is the powerful aura and indescribable power of law lingering around her that eclipses the world.

Recalling that glance back, Ji Xun was deeply impressed by the black that seemed to be the most brilliant and colorful in the world.

He couldn't describe the feeling, but his eyes turned to Chujiu. He thought of something and smiled: "Yes, it is somewhat similar to Chujiu."

Chujiu was stunned: "???"

"ah?"

Nan Jing blinked, as if he understood what Ji Xun meant, and smiled: "Oh, that's really beautiful."

".."

Chujiu raised his eyebrows and glanced at the two of them, without saying anything more.

Ji Xun also smiled and said nothing.

This is not nonsense, but Chujiuben is somewhat similar to her ancestor, the great emperor.

Besides, the three of them occasionally joked and enjoyed themselves.

On the other side, Ji Xun's shadow has already gone to the first floor.

Lennie blended in with the crowd like a regular guest.

Ji Xun originally thought that he had stayed in Sinless City and came here to have some fun.

After all, the rest of the Eastern Wasteland is now controlled by the Silver Moon Sect. Although this is the occupied area of ​​the Southern Continent, it is safer for wanted criminals like him.

However, after watching for a while, I found that Reni seemed to be waiting for something.

The current situation in Innocence City is very special, and things will change later.

Ji Xun didn't waste any time and walked over directly.

Before even saying hello, Reni was already very alert and aware that someone was coming towards him.

But after he could see the face of the visitor clearly, the caution hidden in his eyes turned into surprise, and he said, "Brother Ji Xun?"

Ji Xun also said hello with a normal expression as if meeting an acquaintance: "Brother Reni, why are you here?"

Reni looked at Ji Xun, glanced around again from the corner of his eye, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's a long story. I've been coming to Innocence City for a while."

Seeing the person coming to the appointment finally fulfilled the last knot in my heart.

Without waiting for more questions, he explained directly: "I saw the message you left two months ago. Then something happened. I came to Innocence City three months ago and didn't see you again. , I thought it was too late, what happened to you? After all, I agreed at the beginning that I was just borrowing the relic."

The tone was full of sincere apology.

It's not that he doesn't keep his word, but that the situation in Donghuang is too complicated.

This was the time from when he received the message to when he rushed to attend the appointment.

But it was too late to elaborate on those words. Reni only said with emotion: "I don't know if it has delayed your business."

"No, not really."

Ji Xun smiled and shook his head.

When he saw that the old puppet master really kept his promise, he understood everything and of course he didn't care about that.

But Reni really took it as a big deal. He directly took out a cloth bag that he kept close to him and said: "You are here just in time. Take this relic and leave the Innocence City as soon as possible."

"Oh? Why are you leaving?"

Ji Xun could see a trace of anxiety on Reni's face, as if he knew something bad was about to happen.

Reni hesitated to speak, but finally said one more thing: "It's inconvenient to go into details about this matter. Just leave Innocence City as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be danger."

"."

Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened, already guessing something.

If Reni can say that staying in Innocence City is dangerous, and that the entire city is in danger, then it can only be related to the Titan armor.

Then think about the inside story that his former identity may have come into contact with.

It is very possible that the Oran Royal Court may have to do some big work.

Seeing that Ji Xun didn't speak, Reni seemed to have remembered something again, and said: "By the way, I have carefully studied and understood it before. In addition to some fragments of the consciousness of my ancestors of the drama **** clan, this relic also contains some information about The secret of Emperor Lanlingst. But I don’t have enough exposure to the realm. Brother Ji Xun, you have better talent than me. You can think about it more. If there is another chance in the future, please help me pass on those puppet tricks to the right person. people."

These words are like giving last words.

Ji Xun heard too many hidden meanings.

Since Reni knew that Innocence City was dangerous, why didn't he leave?

He took the relic and asked directly: "Are you waiting for someone?"

Reni didn't hide it either: "Yeah. I'm waiting for a slave auction."

As he spoke, he directly added: "Entrusted by an old friend to help rescue a junior."

Ji Xun Ting understood, having deduced too much information in his mind.

When they met in the Thieves City before, he knew the identity of Reni very well. He could be an old friend, but he didn't dare to show up in person, fearing that it was someone else, most likely someone from the Oran Royal Court.

He did not pretend not to know, but asked directly: "Slave? Are you one of the people who were captured in the secret workshop of Oran Palace before?"

The situation in Innocence City is now very complicated. The secret game between the Oran Royal Court and the Iris Legion has reached the point where a war may break out at any time.

Ji Xun happened to not find a breakthrough to participate in the secret fight between the two major forces.

But now that I see Reni, I seem to see a glimmer of possibility of breaking the situation.

When Ji Xun said this, he looked at Reni's expression and knew he had guessed correctly. He then said, "Those people are all bait. No matter who buys them, they will get into big trouble."

There was an auction brochure in the luxury room he just opened. He happened to glance at it and saw the slave auction that was to follow.

Those who can be auctioned in Honglou are all high-level slaves, either with special status or high-level card masters.

Reni also knew Ji Xun's origins. When his thoughts were revealed, he did not hide it. He said with a firm expression: "I know, but I must save that person."

Ji Xun's eyes flashed with realization as he listened, and it seemed that he was determined to die.

That must be a very important person.

Reni seems to know that he will probably die, but he still tries. Thinking that he was going to die, he didn't seem to care about the secret anymore, and said directly: "That's my grandson."

It would be nice if someone knew the secret.

Ji Xun, an outsider, is just right.

"grandson?"

Ji Xun was really surprised to hear this.

Didn't this guy say before that all the people related to him were killed by his own brother? If you don’t have a son, where will your grandson come from?

Moreover, his semi-mechanically modified body does not look like he will be able to have children with old age.

Reni was afraid that Ji Xun would misunderstand that he had concealed something before, so he said, "I just found out about it not long ago. That happened when I was young."

Ji Xun heard that he was most likely an illegitimate child.

The woman didn't say it before for some reason, but she did it now.

Judging from the old man's expression, there is probably something hidden in it.

But Reni did not continue. He showed a rare old face and said: "It doesn't matter whether I have an old face or not, but it is inconvenient to mention that old friend."

"."

Ji Xun didn't ask about other people's personal affairs.

But this guy has already talked about it, and he has already guessed a lot. It is obvious that the woman still has an identity.

It is very likely that he is a senior member of the Oran Royal Court, and perhaps Chujiu and Nanjing are acquainted with each other.

Ji Xun just chatted and had no intention of leaving.

Reni looked anxious and reminded him again: "Brother Ji Xun, do you have anything else to do in Innocence City? I mean, if not, just leave as soon as possible."

Ji Xun didn't hesitate and went straight to the point: "How much do you know?"

When Reni heard this tone, he realized that Ji Xun knew about the Oran Royal Court, and it was very likely that he came here for this matter.

His brows furrowed for a moment, and the trembling luster in his eyes seemed to have experienced complex inner activities.

After all, he finally spoke: "I don't know what will happen. But my old friend reminded me that after five days, I must leave the Innocence City no matter what."

He doesn't care about the Oran Royal Court and has nothing to worry about.

And I really don’t know anything, and it won’t affect anything if I tell you.

"."

Ji Xun also fell into thinking as he listened.

He knew Lennie only knew so much.

But enough news.

We have to leave the city, which means that the crisis is likely to destroy the entire Innocence City?

Hey. It's really a big job.

Could it be a sacrifice?

Ji Xun recalled the battle where the Silver Moon Sect sacrificed millions of residents of Tailong Mechanical City. Those guys were really capable of it.

But that condition is not met now.

This Innocence City is the base camp of the Iris Legion. There are countless masters, and it is useless for anyone to come.

Probably another way.

The thoughts in Ji Xun's mind instantly dispersed, and he also thought of some possibilities.

He also felt more and more that this matter was becoming more and more interesting.

While Ji Xunsi was silent, the actors on the stage had already retreated, and the auction was next.

Reni's expression also became anxious.

Before he could say anything, Ji Xun said directly: "Leave this place to me. Man, I will help you save it."

"ah?"

Reni was stunned when he heard this and didn't react for a while.

Ji Xun repeated in a calm tone: "I mean, I will help you take a picture of your grandson and then send him to a safe place."

"this"

The look in Reni's eyes became very complicated.

He wouldn't have believed it if it were anyone else, but he knew Ji Xun's strength. When he advanced to the sixth level, he was as strong as a legendary card master, much stronger than himself.

Is it really possible?

Strong anticipation appeared in Reni's eyes, and he asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Brother Ji Xun, are you...are you sure?"

At this moment, his mood was fluctuating strongly.

No one could have imagined how pleasantly surprised he was when he learned from his old friend that his bloodline still continued!

As if it was a gift from the gods, this is the biggest belief that supports his survival now.

He may not care about his life, but he has to save his blood.

It was because he was not sure that he would be able to save others even if he risked his life, so Ji Xun's words seemed to make him grab a life-saving straw.

He knew very well that the character of the young man in front of him was not the kind to make random promises.

What if.

Before the old puppet master's complex interest could ferment, Ji Xun said calmly: "Yeah. It's not a big problem."

Hearing this, Reni felt as if he was struck by lightning. He stood stunned on the spot. The trembling of his eyes showed his inner excitement, "Then you. You..."

As if there were too many words in his mouth, the old man's words were a bit incoherent, "Brother Ji Xun, are you too dangerous? Do you need my cooperation? Anything is fine."

"It's a small matter. I can handle it myself."

Ji Xun didn't explain much.

Although he didn't know what Rennie's plans were, it seemed like he came alone.

The high probability plan is also very risky.

But this is not a big deal to Ji Xun.

His current ability is not enough to deal with the Generalissimo Andre, but there is no risk in rescuing an auction slave.

Reni finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ji Xun's words.

He finally gave up his almost uncertain plan and left the lobby on the first floor, eliminating the suspicion of being targeted.

And Ji Xun changed into another clone and stayed on the first floor.

Not long after, the auction started.

Just like the auction leaflet Ji Xun obtained, this batch of auction items were all high-quality slaves from the Eastern Wasteland.

Some were ladies from former federation noble families, and some were captured high-level card masters.

Although the lot did not say how the prisoners were captured, Ji Xun knew that several of them were elite guards from the secret base of the Oran Palace.

These are all the baits arranged by the Generalissimo Iris.

Whoever buys it will be targeted.

Ji Xun didn't care at all. He raised his placard many times, as if he was determined to buy the boy named "Lake" regardless of other people's bids.

But what surprised him a little was that although this "Lake" was not very old, even a little younger than Ji Xun himself, he was a sixth-level card master!

Moreover, it was specially introduced during the auction that this guy has extremely high lightning talent.

The price is already extremely high, more than ten times that of other sixth-level slaves.

However, Ji Xun had spent time in the Southern Continent, so of course he knew what was going on.

This is the best slave in the Southern Continent because it can be used as a "stallion". After breeding, the offspring born will have a very high affinity for the thunder element.

The Dragonborn have studied the matter of bloodline inheritance very thoroughly.

For this reason, Ji Xun and the stewards of several large mercenary groups increased the auction prices several times, which attracted a lot of attention.

There are even informants from the Iris Corps who are deliberately raising prices just to see some flaws.

This also made Lenny, who was observing in secret, feel nervous like a roller coaster. He did not expect that the auction price would be driven up to such a high level.

If he really had to do it by himself, it would be difficult to complete the first step of the plan.

Fortunately, Ji Xun was rich and powerful, so he won it directly in the end.

Ji Xun left traces on Nanda Road, and his disguised identity made it impossible to find any flaws.

Paying, handing over, there are many aspects where people are watching.

Ji Xun also showed no flaws at all.

Of course he knew it would be impossible to save people this way.

Since the people of the Iris Legion dared to throw out the bait, they must have left some special mark.

Unless it is stuffed into Ivan's "belly", the mark in Lake's body will definitely be sensed.

And once space means are used now, some clues will be exposed in advance. For some mysterious methods, this can already lead to clues.

Ji Xun had no intention of leaving Innocence City just like that and missed the excitement behind it.

The avatar leads the newly purchased slave Lake, and eats and drinks in the city.

If the people of the Iris Legion couldn't find out about his disguised identity, there would be no danger.

The purpose of the auction is to spread the bait, and those people will keep sending people to keep an eye on it to see if anyone else comes to rescue.

After all, only after it is sold does it give people the illusion that it can be saved.

This is the best choice for Ji Xun.

Similarly, he also wanted to use these people to see if he could contact people from the Oran Royal Court.

Reni knew that Ji Xun's plan was risky, but it was also the only option he could think of to save people.

After all, that was his original plan.

After filming, it was not possible to rescue people until the chaos began five days later in Innocence City.

But plans are plans.

He thought he couldn't pretend to be as perfect as Ji Xun and deal with it calmly.

Time flew by like this.

Everything in Sinless City was as usual, and it was still lively.

The Iris Legion also threw out a lot of bait one after another, but there was no sign that the Oran Palace took the bait.

The three of Ji Xun also lived in Honglou, watching operas and occasionally going out for a walk. They didn't even think about looking for trouble in some Titan armor.

What no one knew was that on the third day after the auction, a mysterious man carrying an inconspicuous pottery pot with a spell mixed with a team of mercenaries returning to the city and successfully passed the faith filter entering the city. Check and swagger into the innocent city.
