Cataclysm King
Chapter 381 Thousand Ji Puppet Divine Sect
Chapter 381 "Qian Ji Puppet Divine Sect"
The sound of gurgling water echoed deep in the wet rock wall, and the boat drifted leisurely in the underground river.
Reni knew that if he wanted to get the [Grey Mist Relic], this was his last chance.
People from the Black Knife Organization would use this relic as bait, but not the S-class wanted criminal in front of him.
This may be the last time I see this relic.
He didn't know Ji Xun, and all the information came only from the bounty hunters' union's rewards.
In my memory, this person who was chosen had many crimes. In my impression, he seemed to have attacked and killed many great nobles, and was directly related to some conspiracies.
Looking horizontally and vertically, the only thing written on the wanted list is the word "violent".
In addition to the one-kill-four battle he had experienced before, Reni also witnessed the ruthless methods of this S wanted criminal.
It's even better than the description on the wanted poster.
But Reni also calmed down.
There is no possibility of snatching it by force, but all unnecessary thoughts have been given up, and I can only choose to be honest.
What's more, he also has a bad feeling in his heart. The filth and filth of the Xishen clan should be shown to outsiders.
Ji Xun listened with interest to the story told by the boatman in front of him.
But after he learned that Reni was Domingo's uncle, he actually guessed most of the plot.
There are only four "King's Four Horsemen" in each generation, but behind them are actually four huge families.
The Royal Court of Oran has been in exile for more than two hundred years, and although Reni's family of drama gods has also fallen into decline, it is an ancient family inherited from the Talon Dynasty after all, and the heritage of the family is still beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Rennie was born into a family that studied puppetry and sleight of hand.
He showed extraordinary talent since he was a child.
No matter in terms of puppetry skills or training, he can be regarded as a rare talent that can only be seen in a hundred years.
Especially he likes to tinker with some "new puppets" with weird functions.
If nothing else happens, Reni will most likely become the new generation of power in the family.
However, there is more than one candidate within the family.
The descendants of this ancient family inherit the talents of their ancestors in their blood.
Other family members are equally talented and amazing.
One of Rainey's biological brothers was one of them.
For countless years, only one person in each generation can inherit the highest honor of "The King's Four Knights".
At the same time, it also represents the strongest person in the Xishen family, who has all the rights and resources at the same time.
This also means cutthroat competition.
The royal court itself also acquiesced in this competition.
The king doesn't care how the knight is selected, but the guardian knight he needs must be the strongest one.
The process is less important.
The outcome is that Rainey failed in the competition.
His failure was that when he was young, he was only obsessed with technical research, had little interest in political honors, and underestimated the bloody struggle within the family.
In layman's terms, this is a technical geek with very low emotional intelligence.
What happened is that the beautiful fiancée’s true identity is actually her brother’s lover. She deliberately approached, fascinated Reni, and stole all his research results. In the end, it lost all value and was poisoned.
Lennie lost his health, his inheritance, and everything.
Fortunately, he survived the catastrophe and managed to survive until now.
When Ji Xun heard this seemingly bloody plot, there were no surprises in the whole process.
The competition within the world's top aristocrats is unimaginably cruel.
He was very familiar with Catalina, and had witnessed the overt and covert struggles within the Lionheart family before.
Before the heir to the family head was decided, the heirs of the Lionheart family stabbed each other and many died.
Lovers, poisoning, and frame-up are simply standard scripts for internal struggles among nobles.
If I want to say it, I can only say that Reni was indeed a little less Machiavellian when he was young.
Defeated unjustly.
After all, that was decades ago.
In front of him, Lenny, who has been hiding in the darkness for decades, has long lost his edge and doesn't mind telling outsiders about his stupid experiences.
But his tone couldn't hide his self-mockery, and he said: "Geraint's talent is indeed not bad. He has also learned everything inherited from his family, and his fighting ability and scheming are far beyond mine. I originally didn't have much interest in the honor of the Four Knights. .”
No matter what he thought, his brother still acted cruelly.
As he spoke, Reni sighed and paused, but did not continue.
He suddenly changed the topic and said: "But unfortunately, the most important secret of our drama family is in this [Grey Mist Relic]. There is a fatal hidden danger for the advancement of card masters in our lineage, that It's just that mental power is prone to distortion. Only by multitasking can you control more puppets. However, this secret method of mental splitting often leads to some uncontrollable distortions, and the higher the level, the greater the probability of distortion. Relics are used to deal with hidden dangers of distortion."
He stated why he had to get the photo.
"Oh? Can you still handle mental aberrations?"
When Ji Xun heard Reni's description of the purpose of this relic, he immediately became interested.
It doesn't seem like it can only be used for soul searching and interrogation, as the old woman said before.
Obviously there is a more important role.
"Yes."
Reni knew that if he concealed it, it would be impossible to get the relic.
Only by confessing candidly will arouse the other party's interest, and perhaps there will be room for negotiation.
What's more, he no longer belongs to the drama god family, and everything in that family has nothing to do with him.
He didn't hide anything and said directly: "You should know that puppet masters need to multi-task to control puppets and perform different tricks. Over time, the inner personality is easy to split. Originally this was a good thing for us magicians, but this can greatly It greatly increases the number and efficiency of our manipulation of puppets. But the fact is that during the splitting process, some uncontrollable personalities will appear, such as some dark evil personalities, and often, these personalities will not be restrained by reason, which will eventually lead to the emergence of uncontrollable personalities. Reason collapses and distorts, and you become a madman."
"That's it"
Ji Xun's expression remained unchanged as he listened, but there was a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Others may not be able to understand the problem expressed by Reni, but Ji Xunke understands it very well and murmurs in his heart: "I was just wondering how a magician can control so many puppets. That's it."
Not only did he know the danger of disintegration, but he had almost been deformed before.
However, he found a way to restrain himself, which was to learn the secret visualization method of "Songyue Shenxiang", and use strong mental power and will to restrain those split personalities.
Although the problem of division has not been eradicated.
But he also thinks this is good.
He can accept whoever he is.
As for this kind of mental aberration, the drama family seems to have its own method.
"The effect of [Grey Mist Relic] is to strip away part of a person's memory and cognition."
Reni explained the method and said: "So once mental distortion occurs, the relic can be used to directly peel off the uncontrolled split personality. Although this will cause people to lose some memories and abilities, the good news is that You can survive and continue to advance. This is the method that the Opera God family has used for countless years. However, before the seventh level, magicians rarely encounter this problem, so that relic is rarely used."
"."
Ji Xun also understood this method.
If you have an uncontrolled personality, use relics to peel it off.
It's like having a tumor on your body, just cut it off.
It is a good method.
And Ji Xun also understood what the relic this guy was looking for was.
It was the memory that the ancestors of their Xishen family had stripped away and left in their relics!
According to Reni, those who can deform are almost all seventh-level and above, the most talented people in the history of the drama god family.
In other words, the fragments of consciousness in this relic may be various lost "super-level secret techniques"!
You must know that those fragments of consciousness are, in a sense, similar to "skill cards". With the right method, they can even be directly digested into one's own understanding.
I see!
Ji Xun suddenly became very interested in this relic and said with a smile: "So, Domingo wants to find you because he wants to obtain the fragments of consciousness inside?"
"Um."
Reni had nothing to hide, and he also guessed that Ji Xun could think of this, and said: "It was just that there was no seventh level in Donghuang before. The legendary level that can control the puppet army is enough to bear the title of "The King's Four Knights" Now that he has a good name, there is no need for the consciousness fragments of the ancestors in [Grey Mist Relics], but now that the people from the southern continent are coming, Wang Ting is also in danger. Pride will be shattered to pieces and even destroyed, so they thought of me, a useless person."
After taking a breath, Reni seemed to recall some unpleasant past, with a hint of self-mockery in his eyes, and said: "After all, I was the only one in the world who had been searched for the soul by this relic and survived. In other words, I was the only one. Know how to use this relic properly."
The drama god clan did not inherit the usage of this relic.
Because it’s useless to say it.
Only those who can withstand the backlash of soul searching for relics are qualified to touch the "abnormal consciousness fragments" stripped off by their ancestors.
So the method of use is hidden in [Gray Mist Relic].
After Ji Xun heard these words, he deduced it in his mind and found no flaws.
He asked: "Is this why you are looking for this relic?"
"Yes."
Reni nodded and said bluntly: "For you, this relic can at best be used as a soul-searching tool. But for me, this is the inheritance of the magician lineage. So I would like to take the liberty to ask, if It is possible to part ways."
Although the fragments of consciousness were stripped away by distortion, those memories contained genuine super-level secrets.
Moreover, the God-player clan has been trapped in the Eastern Wasteland for three thousand years, and many of the secret techniques have been lost.
Those fragments in the relic are genuine super-level secrets of the [Magician] path.
More importantly, the understanding of laws, spiritual power, and magic!
Those are valuable experiences that cannot be recorded in classics.
They are all priceless treasures.
Its true value is known only to Reni, who has spied on it once!
If it is true as Reni said, this catastrophic object is really dispensable to Ji Xun.
After all, there are no other substitutes on the market for the soul-searching effect.
But the problem is the "M" signature on the back of this relic.
Thinking of this, he asked seemingly casually: "I'm curious, where did this relic come from?"
Reni didn't know why he asked like this, but the question was irrelevant, so he said directly: "This is an exclusive treasure that has been passed down by the Xishen family. As far as I know, it has been at least since the Tarun period."
As he spoke, he pondered Ji Xun's tone and realized that the other party might know something. After all, he did not hide it and said: "According to the ancient books in the family, this relic belongs to the founding emperor of Talun, the great Lanlingster. Given by the Emperor.”
"."
Ji Xun didn't respond.
The king's four knights are the emperor's closest guards, so it makes sense that there are relics of Emperor Lanlingst.
Renee seemed to know only so much in front of him.
Ji Xun didn't ask any further questions and said, "It's okay to make a deal. But, what can you offer?"
Hearing this, Reni breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Excellency's strength far exceeds mine, and has even reached a level beyond my comprehension. I think the bargaining chips I can offer may not be enough for you."
It’s good to be able to talk.
He did not answer, but asked tactfully: "If you like something, just tell me. As long as I can show it, I will not refuse."
This is actually said very wisely.
Use retreat to advance.
In fact, he left a way for himself.
Because in the face of absolute strength, the weak have no qualifications.
In other words, if the opponent wants to grab it, he can't do anything about it.
But as soon as the words are spoken, let the other party choose the chips, which forms the basis of the deal.
All masters have their own arrogance, and Reni can see it. Although the S wanted criminal in front of him is a bit more ruthless in murdering people, he still seems to have his own principles.
"oh?"
Ji Xun raised his eyebrows as he listened.
Of course, this guy's little thoughts were not hidden from him.
It seems that the losses suffered back then have taught Mr. Rainey a huge lesson over the years.
Since the other party said it was a random choice, Ji Xun was not polite and asked directly: "What is the magical and mysterious method that your lineage of dramatists practice?"
"this"
Reni looked stern when he heard this.
As soon as I got there, I asked myself what chips were the most valuable.
But although he felt slightly bitter, he was not surprised.
He had carefully observed the previous battles. Others could not see the mystery of this person's methods, but he knew that this person was proficient in at least several magical arts.
The idea of using the secret technique of his own magician lineage is also expected.
Reni's thoughts raced rapidly in his mind, and he answered directly: "One of the fifty-two demon gods' forbidden arts, the "Qianji Puppet Divine Gate". This is a secret art that combines puppetry, sleight of hand, and mind control. There are three categories: Qianji, Puppet and Shenmen."
Ji Xun's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "Tell me carefully and listen."
He had been curious about the secret techniques of the magician lineage before.
Originally, he was thinking that when he had the opportunity to kill Domingo, he could get a glimpse of the secrets of the drama's lineage.
Unexpectedly, there seems to be other ways to obtain it now.
Reni had already realized the transaction, and said bluntly: "The original golden version is in the hands of the "players" of the past generations. I only have the part of the secret that I understand. Of course, if you think highly of my humble skills, I will also hand over some of my sleight-of-hand experience over the years as a bargaining chip. "
He knew very well that at this time, he could only make his bargaining chip as valuable as possible to have the possibility of negotiation.
There is no point in hiding someone who is much stronger than yourself.
What's more, in his opinion, the other party most likely just wants to understand the methods of the magician lineage.
After all, there are too many mysteries in the magician lineage, and not everyone can master them.
After hearing this, Ji Xun nodded with satisfaction, "Yeah. If that's the case, we can talk about it."
Reni frowned and thought to himself: Is it just possible to talk?
Ji Xun didn't want the other party to be suspicious, so he revealed his bargaining chip: "I also need a sixth-level professional card of the magician lineage. The best is the original template. If you can provide it, I can agree to exchange it and let you hold it. A relic for a while.”
He didn't know what the other party had in his hands.
But after all, the family inheritance of the drama god has not been cut off from generation to generation, so let’s talk from a higher place first.
I think even if there is no original template, other improved versions will work.
However, as soon as this condition was stated, the other party was really in trouble.
Reni looked embarrassed and said: "Original template? Sorry, that kind of thing has always been hidden in the treasure house of the God of Play family, and I don't have it in my hands."
Hearing this, Ji Xun also expressed regret and said casually: "Then contact me when you have it."
Just thinking about some fragments of secret techniques is not enough to exchange for the inheritance in the relics.
And he also saw that Reni was obviously hiding something.
It wasn't him who was anxious. Ji Xun felt that he should push the other party.
Seeing that the deal collapsed, Reni had a very ugly look in his eyes.
This was his only chance, and he didn't want to lose it.
"etc."
Reni's expression struggled for a moment, as if he had made a difficult decision: "Although I don't have the sixth-level professional card template of the magician sequence, I have this."
As he spoke, he took out a scarlet card.
Ji Xun watched this guy's performance the whole time.
The juggler is also a performer, so I didn't see anything unusual about it.
But the thing in his hand is really a good thing.
【Thousand Hands Trick】
Quality: dark gold
Detailed explanation: Art Path '7 of Hearts·Juggler' sixth-level professional bloody card; original template; after incorporating high-tech materials of no less than gold quality, the finished professional card can be refined; fusion requires super skills and mental power. Successful integration will lead to a huge increase in career attributes and the exclusive career entry 'Thousand Hands';
Ji Xun looked at the bloody card and was surprised: Is there really an original template?
You have to know that the card master who can fuse this grade of professional card must be extremely powerful.
In other words, this may be analyzed from the corpse of a legendary strongman?
If Domingo had not died, Ji Xun would have suspected that this was the professional card that Domingo had fused.
Soon, Reni also told the origin of this card: "This is my grandfather's bloody card."
Ji Xun suddenly understood and asked back: "The bloody card of the puppet master "Strange Puppet" Yami two hundred years ago?"
Two hundred years ago, the Oran Dynasty collapsed, and the four knights of the king at that time all died in battle.
Ji Xun did not expect that after two hundred years, he would actually see the bloody card of the legendary strongman.
"Yeah."
Reni was reluctant and explained: "This was originally the professional card I was going to fuse back then. But my body has been corroded by toxins, and it is impossible to fuse such a card anymore. "
Not only that, this is also a commemorative item.
It represents the item he was rewarded as the "first genius" of the Xishen family.
Leni doesn't have a good impression of the current Xishen family, but he still respects the ancestors of the family.
After all, it is the inheritance of those ancestors that allows him to glimpse the ultimate secret of the puppet.
Seeing this, Ji Xun didn't make it any more difficult, "Okay!"
This professional card is indeed very ideal for him.
"? ? ? "
When Lei Ni heard the other party agree, his expression was stunned, and he felt unbelievable.
Really agreed like this?
To be honest, the two chips he took out were far less valuable than the things in the photo.
He was ready to bet his entire fortune.
I didn't expect the other party to agree so readily.
Ji Xun threw the photo over and said, "Take the things first. However, I will be with you during the time you are meditating. "
I didn't intend to embarrass the other party, this is the first.
Value and the like are all based on subjective judgment.
He got what he wanted, so this transaction is worth it.
The second is that Ji Xun is also very interested in the inheritance in the relic.
But he has also seen the weirdness of this relic.
It's not okay to try it yourself.
It would be best if there is someone to do it for you.
After a little thought, Reni guessed Ji Xun's idea.
But this is originally part of the deal, and he thinks it's natural.
Looking at the photo in his hand, Reni's expression was complicated.
I once thought about risking my life to get the relic, but it was achieved like this?
It really makes people feel like a dream.
What's more, it's safer to have such a strong man around.
If you get the things in your hands, at least you don't have to worry about when the enemy will chase you.
"Okay! "
When Reni thought of this, he agreed immediately and rowed the boat to go deeper into the dark passage.
Ji Xun didn't ask where the other party was going to take him, nor was he worried.
Soon, the boat did not go to the ground, but followed the underground river to the outlet of a dark sewer.
Reni put away the mechanical folding boat, and the two went deeper along the rainwater pipe.
After walking for another half an hour, Ji Xun suddenly heard the rustling of human voices.
Stepping over a small bridge built with waste wood and metal parts, Ji Xun saw a camp built with dilapidated wooden houses and tents.
There was a faint light.
It was not large, and it looked like there were hundreds of people.
Most of them were wearing cloaks and gas masks, and they were mysterious.
Ji Xun observed and sensed some guys with strong breath.
Reni introduced: "This is a wanted criminal camp, everyone calls it the 'rat camp'. I live here most of the time."
As he said, he also apologized a little: "The environment is a little bad, and I hope you don't mind. After all, the safest place I can think of in the Extreme Thief City is here."
Ji Xun looked at it and didn't care at all: "Of course."
He also felt that the pipelines that extended in all directions were very suitable.
