Cataclysm King

"Old Xie actually knew I was in Giant Spirit City?"

Ji Xun looked at the deciphered secret message and frowned slightly.

He was just guessing why the other party wanted to see him and was struggling whether to meet him. Now that he saw that the agreed location was the "Parkway Opera House" in the central city, he realized that the old friend not only knew that he was in the city, but also knew his location.

"The perception ability of the blood clan? It seems that Old Xie has been polluted a bit seriously."

Ji Xun instantly figured out why.

Few people knew about his plan to practice in the Royal Academy. There was only one possibility for Xie Guozhong's inexplicable secret training, that is, the perception ability of the blood clan.

The vampire clan has a very strict class division, the first generation, the second generation, and the third generation. This is in accordance with the order of pollution.

High-level blood clans not only have the ability to control low-level blood clans, but also have the ability to perceive blood.

The jar that sealed the "Scarlet Corruption·Sayadis" is in Xie Guozhong's body, so he should be considered the source of pollution.

And Ji Xun also has blood pollution.

Although this kind of genetic enhancement has no negative impact on him, the source is the Scarlet Corruption after all.

It is not too surprising to be sensed.

"Hehe."

Ji Xun thought of this and chuckled, and had no other thoughts at all.

Before, I was worried that Old Xie was polluted, and he was targeting the [jar] on my body.

After all, the most likely thing that the other party might be interested in on me is this.

But now there is no need to worry.

Xie Guozhong's current strength can obviously be robbed openly, but he chose to contact in the previous way.

It is also an old friend who wants to use this method to tell himself that he is seriously polluted, but he still has self-awareness.

Ji Xun also has many questions.

For example, why did he assassinate the Pope.

Ji Xun took the jumping dragon beast car and soon arrived at the "Parkway Opera House" in the central city.

Opera is a traditional way of entertainment for the upper class, which is an old tradition that has continued from the era of the Talen Empire.

Ji Xun has seen it in the East Wilderness.

It is now nearly midnight, and the midnight performances often have some adult content.

Ji Xun spent a few silver coins to buy VIP tickets.

After looking at the playlist, the musical called "The Beautiful Countess" will be performed at midnight.

The performance will be held in the small hall of the opera house, with only about a hundred seats in the audience.

The attendance rate tonight should be affected by the auction.

Since Xie Guozhong asked me out, there is no need to worry that he can't find me.

Ji Xun sat down according to the seat number and watched the opera with peace of mind.

The lights dimmed, the music started, and the stage scenery appeared to be an ancient manor.

Then the actors came on stage one after another, a beautiful actress played the countess, and there were some manor servants and sexy manor maids.

Ji Xun originally thought that this "The Beautiful Countess" was some kind of pornographic theater.

The actors on the stage were indeed dressed sexy, and the beginning was also a scene of maids changing clothes that made people's blood boil, but... As the performance went on, the taste was not right.

The plot introduced by the narration of this line, the countess sucked the blood of pure girls to stay young forever, isn't it a vampire story?

And no matter how you look at it, this is like the story of the young Countess Mister in the other-dimensional space of "Black Crow Castle"?

"Can vampire stories be performed openly now?"

Ji Xun also found it interesting.

There is a holy church in the city, how dare they perform this under their noses?

Not only are the actors superb in acting, but the casting is also very similar.

He had seen Mrs. Mister in "Black Crow Castle", so he felt very familiar when he saw the young lady who had just married Count Wushan on the stage.

Not to say that they are very similar, but at least 80%.

No!

It can even be said that this is Mrs. Mister when she was young!

A coincidence can still be called a coincidence, but if everything is restored, it is not a coincidence.

When Ji Xun saw this, he immediately realized that there was something wrong with this stage play.

It seems that the screenwriter of this play seems to know that period of history very well, and perfectly fills the gap in the history before the main plot of "Black Crow Castle".

It is almost exactly the same as the historical plot deduced by Ji Xun before.

And the actors didn't seem to be acting.

Because Ji Xun discovered that the countess on the stage seemed to be a real vampire?

What's even more bizarre is that in the later plot, the girl she sucked was not acting, but was really doing the first embrace of blood.

The bite was real, and the blood sucked was real blood, not prop plasma.

"So, has the Scarlet Sect spread so exaggeratedly?"

Ji Xun discovered the "easter egg" hidden in the stage play, and a playful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

When he read the intelligence before, he didn't see any information about vampires at all, so he speculated that the Holy See was unlikely to control the expansion of the Scarlet Sect.

Now that vampires have blatantly appeared in the theater, it just confirmed his guess.

As he was watching, the stage play had ended without him noticing, and warm applause broke out from the audience.

"Pa, pa, pa, pa"

There are always some strange programs in the midnight theater.

Those real bloody and pornographic pictures just now greatly satisfied the desires of the twisted side of human nature.

The audience in the audience didn't know it yet, but they had just witnessed a real vampire transformation ritual.

Although the girl on the stage who was sucked of blood struggled hard, Ji Xun could see that she was willing to be converted from beginning to end.

He didn't mean to meddle in other people's business.

After all, the fact that she could be transformed into a vampire and gain beauty and eternal youth was an extraordinary ability that countless girls dreamed of.

As for other consequences, they were completely after beauty.

The play was a good play.

From the professional perspective of an actor, Ji Xun couldn't find any faults.

He also applauded to express his appreciation for a wonderful performance.

The other guests left.

He was still sitting there, thinking a lot in his mind.

In a blink of an eye, the guests had left. Just as he was thinking, Ji Xun saw a sexy woman in a low-cut black dress walking towards him.

It was the leading actress of the stage play just now, the vampire countess.

Approaching, Ji Xun touched the [God Stealer Ring] on his finger, and the spirit of the instrument also confirmed that this was a vampire.

Seeing the sexy lady coming, Ji Xun also showed his proper demeanor. He stood up, smiled and took the initiative to greet her: "Madam, where have we met before?"

Hearing this, the beautiful woman covered her mouth and chuckled: "Excuse me, sir, your way of chatting up is not very popular with girls in this era~"

She paused, looked at Ji Xun with a seductive look, and added: "But I think it's not bad."

"Hehe."

Ji Xun looked at her and smiled gently.

He seemed to have heard the underlying meaning of "I am not from this era", and then said: "Oh~ I am not kidding. What I mean is that you look like an old friend of mine. She is also as beautiful and charming as you."

"Oh?"

The beautiful woman raised her eyebrows, thinking that this was a tease, and a hint of teasing appeared between her eyebrows and said: "I will take it as a compliment?"

Ji Xun was not very interested in flirting, but suddenly changed her tone and said: "Of course. Mrs. Mister."

"?"

Hearing this, the expression of the beautiful woman in front of her suddenly changed.

As if she was extremely surprised that the person in front of her actually called out her real name, she instinctively asked: "How do you know my name?"

Really? !

Ji Xun just wanted to confirm this!

The first time he saw the woman's reaction, he confirmed that she was really the Mrs. Mister in "Black Crow Castle".

But,

How is it possible!

Not to mention how she survived the siege of the Church of Light back then, even if she survived, how could she live so long?

You know, the main plot of the alternate dimension of "Black Crow Castle" is about the Alterac civilization more than 100,000 years ago.

Now?

Even though Ji Xun thought the actors were similar before and thought of this possibility, he didn't dare to think about it.

After all, even if vampires can hibernate, according to legend, they can only live for a few thousand years.

Now seeing the characters in the alternate dimension appear alive in front of him, this sense of absurdity makes Ji Xun feel a little unreal.

Ji Xun showed a self-deprecating smile at the corner of his eyebrows, thinking that he really shouldn't preset any position for the deduction, so that the deduction result can be closest to the truth.

No matter how absurd it is.

Looking at the beautiful face looking at him curiously, he said in a half-truthful tone: "Well, because I said, we have met."

The facts are in front of him.

Now that it has been confirmed that this is Mrs. Mister from more than 100,000 years ago, his mind will deduce according to this fact.

Mrs. Mister in front of him looks more beautiful and younger than in the alternate dimension, most likely because her vampire bloodline has been improved.

And her appearance here must be because of Xie Guozhong.

"Ah? Have we really met?"

This made Mrs. Mister lose confidence.

But after all, she was old enough to have lived many lives, so she didn't act strange at all. Instead, she was full of curiosity about Ji Xun in front of her, and said ambiguously: "Although I don't mind talking to you in detail about the story of our "previous meeting", but now, the prince wants to see you."

"Prince?"

Ji Xun had heard that this was the hierarchy within the blood clan.

It was similar to the title of a noble, representing the generation of vampires.

The blood prince was probably the first generation of the blood clan.

Ji Xun didn't feel anything strange when he heard it, and followed Mrs. Mister into the backstage.

After entering the stage, there was a utility room.

Ji Xun felt that this scene was also very familiar.

When he opened the door, he saw a man in a black suit writing something.

Mrs. Mist reported respectfully: "Prince, your guest is here."

The man looked up and his eyes fell on Ji Xun, revealing the familiar hearty smile: "Brother Ji Xun, long time no see."

"Yes. Long time no see."

Ji Xun looked at Xie Guozhong in front of him, his expression slightly different, and added: "I almost didn't recognize him."

In his memory, Xie Guozhong always wore a set of old leather clothes with a messy beard.

But now he has no beard, his hair is combed meticulously, and he is wearing a well-fitting black suit, just like an old-fashioned gentleman.

Although it is the same person, the temperament is different. In the coldness, it gives people a sense of oppression of domineering and arrogance.

Xie Guozhong certainly knows what Ji Xun said, touched his chin, and laughed: "Hahaha, I am not used to my beardless self."

The words are not used to it, but the tone does not seem to be used to it at all.

Ji Xun observed everything silently.

Of course he doesn't mind.

Distortion, others can't understand it. Ji Xun is now polluted by the witch, so he can completely understand this change.

Being able to talk like this, at least he is still his old friend.

He didn't regard himself as an outsider, so he just pulled up a stool and sat next to him.

Mrs. Mist arrived and closed the door wisely.

Xie Guozhong packed up the manuscripts in front of him and said: "Sorry, brother Ji Xun, I am wanted by the people of the Holy See. It is not convenient for me to show my face. That's why I asked you to come here. Once I show my face, those high-ranking priests in the Holy See will It doesn’t matter to me that I’ll be here soon, I’m just afraid of causing trouble for you.”

Ji Xun guessed that this was also the reason, so instead of asking questions, he was curious about the manuscript on his desk.

If he read correctly, this was the script of a stage play. He then asked: "Lao Xie, have you recently changed your career to become a screenwriter?"

"Come with the troupe and help with some work if you have nothing to do."

Xie Guozhong smiled, as if he had said something profound, and said: "Well, I also found that 'screenwriter' is a very good career sequence. It allows people to see the context of the story clearly. It is also the context of the world in the plot."

"Really?"

Of course Ji Xun knew that he probably learned this from Jia Yu.

The two former masters and apprentices had a great influence on each other.

He didn't say much more on this topic, but instead asked the question he was curious about before: "By the way. What's going on with Mrs. Mist?"

Since we are still talking to old friends now, of course I can ask if I can.

Xie Guozhong didn't hide anything. He also knew what Ji Xun was curious about. He said bluntly: "I went to look for some relics of the sect in the crack in the south of the Warcraft Forest before, and I happened to find her. She has the god of Seiadis on her body. Blood, so it’s not that easy to die. Being thrown into the abyss and nourished by the air of darkness, being dormant until now is considered a special case.”

Ji Xun finally understood after listening.

I see.

Saying that, Xie Guozhong glanced at Ji Xun again and said, "I happened to hear that something happened at the Royal Academy. So I wrote a play for her to participate in. How about it, isn't it good?"

Ji Xun nodded, "Yeah. It's really good."

Having said this, he also knew that Xie Guozhong had guessed about his secret training at the Royal Academy.

Others don't know, but this old friend knows. Because this extraordinary ability to use screenwriters to write characters is Jia Yu's unique skill.

They are all in Giant Spirit City, and they are most likely coming to the academy.

But Xie Guozhong's focus is definitely not on himself, but on the "Bright Holy See."

The two became friends before because they had similar temperaments.

Although both have changed a lot, some feelings remain the same.

Ji Xun asked directly: "By the way, why did old Xie Qian come to Juling City? You didn't come to see me specifically, right?"

Xie Guozhong smiled mysteriously: "What do you think?"

Ji Xundao: "Are you here for the giant hand of the Royal Academy?"

Xie Guozhong was slightly surprised: "Can you guess this? Have you learned all the abilities of that boy Jia Yu?"

Ji Xun smiled noncommittally.

In addition to coming here for themselves, the biggest excitement in Giant Spirit City now is either the remnants of the Holy See of Light or that big hand.

Hearing that the other party was really aiming for that hand, Ji Xun was also curious: "What's the origin of that hand?"

Xie Guozhong shook his head: "I don't know."

Ji Xun: "Don't know?"

Xie Guozhong: "Yes. This arm is top secret in the Holy See, and its history is longer than we imagined. At least it existed before the Era of Chaos."

"oh."

Ji Xun stopped asking any more questions after hearing this.

Since the origin is not directly known, Xie Guozhong's visit can only be for the severed hand itself.

Vampires need blood.

Especially blood that contains extraordinary power.

It was not difficult for Ji Xun to figure out why he was aiming for his arm.

The atmosphere of the chat was relaxed.

Ji Xun then asked: "By the way, I heard before that the Pope was assassinated? Why do you want to assassinate that person?"

No inquiry was made as to whether it was him.

Because the moment they met, he knew that it must be this old friend who did it.

Xie Guozhong also said bluntly: "For the [Orb of King Power]. It is a sacred object exclusive to the Order Path. The Pope will not be assassinated, and the order in the Southern Continent will not be chaotic. Moreover, I also need that treasure to stabilize myself. Otherwise, the pollution will be out of control." ”

He had long heard that Pope Polalante had the [Orb of Royal Power], one of the four holy weapons of royal power, but Ji Xun only knew that it could also stabilize the order of the empire.

Sure enough, every royal treasure has magical and special effects.

He didn't care about the orb, and instead glanced at Xie Guozhong. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the ink-like dark energy deep in his eyeballs, and asked, "What's going on with your pollution now?"

After hearing this, Xie Guozhong fell into deep thought for a long time, "Well, this question is quite complicated to explain."

He didn't seem to want to explain, "But for now, I'm still me."

"."

Ji Xun listened and glanced at him.

Suddenly I thought of my own witch's deformation.

That is a kind of distortion that changes people's subjective consciousness.

In other words, if it was really contaminated, Xie Guozhong would not feel any rejection.

"."

Xie Guozhong looked at Ji Xun's solemn expression and laughed heartily again.

But the hearty smile in the dress at the moment sounded a little weird.

He explained in detail: "The Illuminati Hermitage is a very special organization. This organization has inherited some special methods for foreign gods. So for some reasons, Seiadis did not dare to completely descend into my body. The relationship between me and the outer god is more like a symbiotic partnership. If I die, most of the divine power he has accumulated will collapse. After all, I can't stop some of his will. Things are not as simple as they seem.”

"I am still me. I am also the source of blood pollution wanted by the Holy See."

"I used to think that the 'Seven Natural Disaster Monarchs' were the source of the catastrophe of the cholera civilization. But later, after learning some historical facts, I discovered that what people saw was far from the truth. The truth that people can accept is only based on their position. acceptance of the truth.”

"."

Said a long paragraph.

Ji Xun didn't understand it that well either.

But what he understood was that this involved a game at the divine level, which was beyond his current realm.

And it's not like he couldn't understand it at all.

I once heard Nan Shenyu, the last high priest of Talun, talk about similar topics in an extra-dimensional space.

In fact, Ji Xun doesn't care what Xie Guozhong said now.

On the contrary, if he can patiently explain to himself, he is already in the best situation.

But now that he had asked all the questions, Ji Xun also wanted to confirm the information he had deduced, and asked again: "So, what is the situation of the Scarlet Sect now?"

When Xie Guozhong heard this, he glanced at him and smiled.

Instead of answering, he seemed to ask an incomprehensible question: "How do you define justice and evil?"

"."

Ji Xun knew what he was referring to.

Both sides understood the other's problem.

Xie Guozhong didn't wait for his answer, and then said: "The Southern Continent invaded the Eastern Wilderness. Is the Southern Continent the evil side? So, is the Oran Palace of the Eastern Wilderness enslaving and wantonly killing the lower-class civilians considered justice or evil? Card masters hunt intelligent creatures to use as extraordinary material. Is it justice or evil? If I kill 10,000 people, is it justice or evil? The only thing that divides is position. Death cannot represent evil, and victory cannot represent justice.”

After a series of rhetorical questions, he looked at Ji Xun and said, "What's more, life has levels. High-level life forms and low-level creatures cannot be considered the same at all. I think you should be able to understand what I am saying now. What."

"."

Of course Ji Xun can understand.

He has now half-stepped into the realm of "divine power", and he can be considered to be experiencing the process of transcending from personality to demigod.

He also knew that Xie Guozhong's current will was part of the will of the "Scarlet Corruption Seiadis".

In the eyes of gods, all human beings are like ants.

We are not standing at the same height, and we see the world differently.

Ji Xun had no intention of arguing with him on this issue.

He already had his answer.

I’ve finished asking the curious topics.

He finally asked: "So, why did you come to me?"

"Give me something back. I'll borrow something from you by the way."

As Xie Guozhong spoke, he took out a stick-like object wrapped in oil paper in the corner and said, "This thing is of no use to me now. I'd better return it to its original owner and give it to you in exchange."

Ji Xun actually saw it when he walked in and guessed what it was.

Inside is the [Holy Sword of Olympus], one of the four sacred weapons of the kings.

The sword was previously given to Xie Guozhong because he could echo the royal power and luck possessed by the great sword, and also suppress scarlet pollution.

In this situation, suppression is obviously meaningless.

This sword is not suitable to carry.

"oh."

Ji Xun didn't say much, took the oil paper bag, and said, "What do you want to borrow?"

Xie Guozhong said solemnly: "The magic sword [Tierfeng]. I can't use the [Holy Sword of Olympus] now. If I want to kill the Pope, this sword is more suitable."

"oh?"

Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

I thought I was here to borrow a jar.

He really didn't dare to borrow that thing, and he couldn't refuse it.

Fortunately not.

The magic sword [Tirfeng] is a useless sword.

Ji Xun only learned about the origin of this sword when he was in the space of "Thousands of Army Siege" before.

But after studying this sword in his hands for so long, it was still just scrap metal like a shield.

There is no ability to destroy the world like in the hands of "Mad King" Alduin.

Everyone said they borrowed it, but Ji Xun took out the big sword without writing any ink and asked casually: "How do you use this sword?"

Xie Guozhong looked at the big sword, the dark energy in his eyes almost overflowing, and said: "This is a god-killing sword that needs to be warmed and nourished by divine blood."

As he spoke, he held the hilt of the sword in one hand, and then wiped it with the other hand. The sharp sword, which was clearly edgeless, made a bloody gash in his palm.

A large amount of scarlet and shiny blood overflowed and smeared on the sword.

A strange scene appeared.

The sword seemed to suck blood, actually absorbing the blood.

Xie Guozhong looked at this scene and murmured: "This sword needs to absorb the blood of higher living beings in order to condense divinity. The more it absorbs, the more rules of the universe the sword can cut."

Ji Xun understands now.

This is a "murderous sword". The more you kill, the more powerful it becomes?

No wonder I didn't do any research to figure it out. It turned out to be because I didn't have high enough blood.

Looking at the bright red sword in front of him, this is the sword that was in the hands of the Mad King.

In the utility room, red light flickered.

The evil aura on the sword echoed with the dark aura of the first generation vampire on Xie Guozhong.

Ji Xun squinted his eyes and looked at everything in front of him, and his thoughts were also deduced.

Xie Guozhong seemed to have guessed some of his thoughts, shook his head and said: "Oh, I'll tell you a piece of news that you may be interested in. The war was not caused by you, me, or anyone else. The guy 'Lord of War Monliod' has also appeared recently. He is not even referring to an independent individual, but in a sense represents the rules of the universe. And those guys from the Church of Light. The evidence we have learned so far shows that the death of Emperor Lanlingster was directly related to them."
