Cataclysm King

Chapter 300 The Four Sacred Artifacts of Royal Power

The next day.

A secret room deep in the bunker.

The bookshelves in the room are densely lined with various books, maps with intricate strategic routes are hung prominently on the walls, and a thick stack of documents is placed on the mahogany table.

This is Catalina's study.

She chose this place for the meeting.

There are no outsiders.

A quiet and relaxing atmosphere filled the room.

Alice and Allen were sitting there comfortably on the soft sofa.

This was not a serious meeting, but more like a casual chat between friends.

"Miss Alice, how well did you rest last night?"

"I haven't slept so peacefully in a long time~Thank you, Miss Carter, for your hospitality."

Because they all trusted Ji Xun.

"Of course. There will even be a lot of choices. If Mr. Ji Xun is interested, I can take you to have a look at some time. Mercenaries who go on adventures in the wild always bring back a lot of surprising materials."

And he himself was very interested in Alice's information.

Ji Xun is curious about all kinds of extraordinary knowledge and ancient history.

Catalina is a talkative person, and she can always get the information she needs from small talk in some appropriate ways.

On the first day of the meeting, Ji Xun, the bridge builder, naturally had to be present.

That kind of absolute trust foundation also determines that this meeting will be very pleasant.

"So, you don't actually know much about the situation in the Old Continent?"

"."

The conditions may be simple, but the sincerity is palpable.

After chatting for a while, both parties realized that their concerns were unnecessary.

"Miss Alice, are there many dragons in the southern continent?"

The more you know, the better the world becomes.

"But the Southern Continent is controlled by the Holy Holy See, and those guys also restrict the spread of super-level secrets. What I know is very limited."

"Yeah. You could say that."

With Ji Xun, a person whom both parties trusted, the atmosphere of the chat was expectedly relaxed.

He also took the opportunity to ask many questions that he was curious about.

It's just that the products there are richer, the living environment is harsher, the elemental laws are stronger, and the creatures are stronger.

As a guest, Alice was pleased with the atmosphere.

"Hey, isn't that the seventh level? It's almost equivalent to the eighth level?"

"."

"Well, there are a lot. But most of them are hybrid dragon creatures, and there are not many pure-blood mythical dragons. When our 'Xinhuo' went to the Southern Continent, the dragons already existed, and there were also some dragons Descendants.”

"Usually it looks like it's half a level stronger than the legendary monster of the same level."

"Well. At the end of the Talon Dynasty, natural disasters struck, the people were in dire straits, and rebel armies were everywhere. The Augustus royal family was already very afraid of the common people and blocked a lot of information. If you really want to say that the person who knows the most about the Old Continent should go east Descendants of that royal family in Huang."

As Ji Xun and Alice chatted, they were once again shocked by the vastness of this fantasy world.

The four of them chatted happily.

The Southern Continent is as boundless as the Eastern Continent.

The practice of "I am the world" requires an in-depth understanding of the laws of the world.

Alice was also very interested in the Eastern Continent and answered and asked questions.

"How strong is a real dragon?"

What's more, Ji Xun saved her life.

"Except for card masters, there are many monsters and disasters above level seven in the southern continent?"

The whole person looks very relaxed.

"Isn't there a lack of extraordinary materials?"

But the truth is that she was overthinking it.

So the conversation quickly got down to business.

Now the Eastern Wasteland Alliance Army is in urgent need of all kinds of information from the Southern Continent, and most of Catalina's questions revolve around the information needed for the war.

"There are not many human kingdoms. But the Southern Continent is very vast, and the three kingdoms only occupy a very small area. In addition, there are various dangerous places, such as the Warcraft Forest and the Sea of ​​Giant Monsters. , Winter Wasteland, Misty Abyss, Gate of Hell, Ancient Battlefield of the Gods, many places that even adventurers dare not set foot in easily. It is said that in these dangerous places, there are super-level monsters and disasters, as well as battles with giant dragons. An ancient mythical creature"

Alice originally represented the top brass of the "Rebellious Dragon Army". They had a hostile relationship with the Irel Empire and there was nothing they couldn't reveal.

"I see."

At first, she was not sure what level of cooperation the "alliance" agreed upon by Ji Xun and Alice was, and the conversation was rather reserved.

As Ji Xun listened, he had the idea of ​​going to the Southern Continent sometime.

On the side, Catalina was already describing, using a pen to draw a map of the Southern Continent bit by bit.

"You mean, the discovery of the Old Continent in the Southern Continent only happened in the past few years?"

"Yeah. It should be about the same time as you."

"After discovering the Old Continent before, Mr. Aragon speculated that the continental plates of this world moved from the Southern Continent and the Eastern Continent three thousand years ago. They moved away from the Central Continent and are now closer. It may also be the work of the ancient gods, or it may be the work of the ancient gods themselves. Some kind of cosmic law."

"."

When Ji Xun heard this statement, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his mind.

The continental plates of this world are like

A moving Rubik's Cube?

Or a moving island?

While chatting, a few people talked about the seventh level, which was a fatal bottleneck that had troubled card masters in the Eastern Continent for more than two thousand years.

Alice revealed the secret in the most concise words:

"The seventh level is actually the transgression of human personality. It is a key step from 'personality' to 'demigod'. If you want to enter the seventh level through the normal way, you need the card master's consciousness to be strong enough to control the advancement. After the advancement, the physical body will gain a massive amount of demon power. The risk of distortion caused by the power at the same time. It is very difficult to achieve this. It requires extraordinary will and arduous practice. People who usually choose this method are extremely rare in success."

"The high-level card masters in the southern continent are special. They have a kind of 'shortcut'. Because most of them are dragon-born, the dragon blood in their bodies naturally allows them to master some 'dragon power', so their personality is better than that of humans. It’s high, and it’s relatively easy to advance to the seventh level.”

"Other card masters can also use a similar method, which is to find the bloodline essence of some legendary creatures and refine a card that can change part of their own bloodline. Just like obtaining the bloodline of a giant dragon, it can improve your status. It can be greatly improved. Improve promotion success rate”

"However, the practice system of dragon-born card masters is quite special. The richer the dragon blood in their bodies, the higher their upper limit. But for pure-blood humans, it is a shackles. After all, no matter how good the materials are, they all come from Other creatures are not 100% in tune with me. The risk will become greater and greater when you reach the eighth or ninth level."

"And those who can comprehend the 'divine power' through hard work on their own are truly demigods, and their upper limit will be extremely high. Even in the Southern Continent, there are very few."

"But I don't have any relevant secrets or anything like that. When the Old Continent is fully liberalized later, the Dragon Rebel Army will also enter the Old Continent, and I'll think of a way."

"."

Ji Xun understood completely after hearing this.

This is almost exactly the same as Master Merlin's conjecture.

Entering the seventh level requires the spiritual level to reach the level of "divine power" in order to anchor the powerful power that increases after the physical advancement.

The shortcut is to fuse the bloodline of alien creatures and obtain a ready-made bloodline ability similar to "Dragon Power" to assist in advancement.

After hearing this, Ji Xuncai realized how powerful old man Gong Wu was.

According to Alice, even "divine power" has some secret methods of practice.

But the old man relied on his own guessing and practiced hard for hundreds of years, and finally realized the way.

This is really awesome.

Catalina on the side also recorded these contents carefully, her crystal eyes flashing with excitement.

This information is too important for the current Alliance Army.

The super-level inheritance of the Eastern Continent has been blocked for two thousand years, and its super-level resources are barren.

Under such circumstances, those who can reach the sixth level must have talent, hard work, and intelligence.

Currently, there are several veteran legendary powerhouses in the Alliance Army, as well as a bunch of sixth-level card masters.

Some of them have even been stuck on the threshold of the seventh level for decades.

We are only a few steps away from a breakthrough.

If there really is a clear and stable way to advance to the seventh level, even if it is a "shortcut", it will definitely bring great hope to everyone.

Over time, the coalition's top combat power will slowly increase.

Catalina was also very surprised that Alice told so many secrets without reservation.

After listening to how Ji Xun and Alice got to know each other, she realized that all the precious information she had obtained was obtained by Ji Xun's gambling with his life.

Although that guy likes to take risks, the information in his hand is really a huge favor that he doesn't know how to repay.

The topics they talked about became more and more extensive.

We can talk about everything from extraordinary knowledge, current politics, humanities and geography, to local customs and customs.

And Alice is also very interested in Donghuang.

Catalina also told the two about the three thousand years of Eastern Wasteland history, as well as some of the federation's technological specialties.

After all, although the Kashi civilization is strong in the Southern Continent, it is almost a "primitive society" in the field of science and technology.

Alice also listened with great interest.

Alice was also indignant after hearing that the Royal Court of Oran had restricted the spread of extraordinary knowledge in order to stabilize its political power.

After all, whether three thousand years ago or now, the Augustus royal family controls the inheritance of the top card masters in the Talon period.

Seriously, the selfishness of those in the Augustus royal family even hindered the development of human civilization. While chatting, they talked about the new king of Oran again.

The royal family is full of secrets for ordinary people.

But for Alice, who is also a royal princess, there are not so many secrets.

Ji Xun also curiously asked a few questions that he was confused about, "By the way. I know that someone used a special method to advance to the seventh level. Alice, do you know what happened?"

After listening to his description, Alice obviously knew the inside story: "Are you saying that the New King of Oran advanced to the seventh level in a short period of time? If so, I seem to know the reason."

Not many other people really know about this topic.

And she is the princess of the Red Dragon Kingdom, and she happens to know some secrets that only the royal family knows.

After a pause, she said: "According to what you said, the new king of Oran was able to advance to the seventh level in a short time. This may be because he has a certain sacred object of royal power in his hand."

Ji Xun and Catalina both brightened up after hearing this.

Can royal power sacred objects also help advance?

Alice frowned and thought deeply for a moment, then said: "Sorry, that period of history is too long ago. I remember seeing it in the classics before. Well. If I remember correctly, the royal family that went to the Eastern Wasteland that year, It should be that he took away the [Crown of Thorns], one of the four sacred objects of royal power?"

When Ji Xun heard this, he asked, "Is it a crown that looks like a braid of black iron thorns?"

Alice nodded: "Yes!"

After saying this, Ji Xun raised his eyebrows slightly: "The crown is indeed in the hands of the new king of Oran."

Only then did he realize that the crown was not just the key to the Old World.

There is also the wonderful use of card master’s advancement.

As he spoke, he asked: "But what does his advancement have to do with the crown?"

"This starts from a long time ago."

Alice talked eloquently: "According to legend, the founding emperor of the Talon Dynasty, the great hero who ended the dark era of chaos, the terminator of miracles and darkness, Lanlingster M. Augustus, had the four kings at the same time. The sacred objects of power. They are the [Orb of Royal Power] that symbolizes the law of order, the [Sismark Holy Grail] that symbolizes love and healing, the [Crown of Thorns] that symbolizes power and glory, and the [Holy Olympus] that symbolizes power and destruction. sword】."

This is the advantage of unbroken inheritance.

Alice told shocking historical facts that Ji Xun had never heard of in the bard's legends.

But when he heard the name "Lanlingster M. Augustus", Ji Xun suddenly caught something.

He didn't forget that when he got the devil's mark card [JOKER], there was an "M" signature on it.

(The mark is the slave contract of the devil? No, on the contrary, it is the mark of conquest by the spell card master to control the power of the devil - Signature M)

Is it the same person?

And that wasn't the only thing that surprised him.

In addition to the crown, Ji Xun also saw the [Sismark Holy Grail], which was in Chujiu's hand.

It sounds like the Holy Grail has more mysterious uses besides saving lives?

Thoughts were racing.

Alice continued: "It is said that every royal sacred object has powerful and mysterious power. Obtaining them will gain recognition from the laws of royal power. And because the sacred object itself was cast by the ancient demon god, it possesses indescribable royal power. power, so the holder can also use holy objects to enhance his understanding of the laws of kingship, thereby improving his rank. Currently, the [Orb of King Power] is in the hands of Pope Paulalante A. Russell of the Holy See. This It is also one of the most important reasons for him to become the world's top powerhouse. The whereabouts of the other three sacred objects are unknown."

She is a member of the royal family of the Red Dragon Kingdom, so she knows this information better than others.

Alice thought of something, and added: "But the way to understand the law of kingship is different from other laws. It requires 'royal power'. In other words, the holder not only wants the king's power, but also wants to completely guide the sacred objects. The extraordinary characteristics in it also require you to have the 'King's Rights'. I don't know the specifics. After all, no one I know except the Pope of the Holy See has held the Four Holy Relics. But I read from some ancient palace books. According to some theories, it should be that the greater the power the king has, the more sacred artifacts he will receive in return, and the stronger his strength will be."

At this statement, Ji Xun and Catalina looked at each other, both showing surprise.

It turns out that the correct way to use the sacred object of royal power is this.

"So, after Arthur's successful restoration, the surge in strength was caused by the [Crown of Thorns]?"

Ji Xun thought of this, and then thought of the ninth day of the lunar month.

Although the girl holds the [Sismark Holy Grail] in her hand, she is alone and seems unable to take advantage of this characteristic of the Holy Grail.

When talking about this topic, Alice seemed to think of something again and said: "However, there is another news that I am not sure about."

Ji Xun and Catalina cast their eyes, waiting for the next sentence.

Alice continued: "This time, the senior officials of the Airel Empire are not only looking for a few mysterious 'jars'. They also want to find the other three of the four sacred artifacts of royal power. And there are accurate clues that show that the four sacred artifacts of royal power are The most powerful [Holy Sword of Olympus] is in the tomb of a certain king in Augustus."

No wonder.

Ji Xun also understood why the Hydralisk Legion was so obsessed with the extra-dimensional space of "Valen City Rebel Camp".

It turned out that I wanted to find the imperial mausoleum of Augustus.

Catalina on the side also caught something and asked doubtfully: "The most powerful holy weapon?"

"Yeah. The strongest!"

Alice nodded and said: "It is said that it is a divine weapon with the ability to destroy heaven and earth, and is the first of the four sacred weapons. However, even the glorious Tarun Dynasty has been interrupted several times due to wars and natural disasters. . No one has seen that holy weapon for countless years. I don’t know the details clearly. But because I was once a member of the Red Dragon royal family, I have heard some legends about that sword."

Her expression was also slightly strange. She glanced at Ji Xun and the two, and continued: "It is said that the [Holy Sword of Olympus] is very special. Kings are eager to gain its recognition, and at the same time they are also very afraid of it."

Catalina: "Afraid?"

This word is used a bit hard to understand.

How could the king be afraid of the sacred object of royal power?

There are too many secrets in this world, and even though Alice is well-read, she doesn't know everything.

After pondering for a moment, she said in an uncertain tone: "Because... it is a 'regicide sword'. Legend has it that those who can be recognized by this sacred weapon can be promoted to [square K-regicide] By】."

Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened: Tsk, that's interesting.

[Diamond K] is a career sequence that has never been heard of in the Eastern Continent.

And as soon as he heard the name, he knew why it was discontinued.

In order to stabilize the political power, the Oran royal family can block super-level knowledge.

With the words "regicide", it would be strange if they didn't ban this sequence.

But Ji Xun was more curious about a word: "Promotion?"

"Ok!"

Alice now also knows that the card masters on the Eastern Continent are very lacking in extraordinary knowledge above the seventh level, so she took the initiative to explain: "The high-ranking sequences of J, Q, and K have mastered more than one extraordinary way to condense the godhead. In addition to the original The devil's mark path can also be promoted through specific methods. For example, [K of Diamonds - Regicide]. I don't know how to be promoted, but this is how it is recorded in ancient books. It is said that someone with a royal destiny needs to be killed. The king can usurp power and ascend to the throne."

Ji Xun also became very interested when he heard this.

Originally, I thought that the fifty-two career sequences were all fixed.

It turns out that there is also the term "promotion".

And kill the king?

Why does it sound like a necessary ceremony for the new king to ascend the throne?

That's right, the sequence name "Kingslayer" already shows that this approach is very special.

Ji Xun was also eye-opening.

The four of them chatted in this secret room for several days.

Communication is also learning from each other.

gain much.

The key intelligence brought by Alice also solved the urgent needs of the Allied forces, and even directly affected the future strategic layout of the Allied forces.

This day.

Outside the ruined castle.

Ji Xun rode a steam motorcycle.

He's leaving.

On the other side of Toad, it’s time to go see if we can save him.

This was a previous agreement.

And after listening to Alice's information, he became more and more interested in the role-playing game "Spy".

Whether it is the Old Continent or the Irel Empire, there are too many secrets waiting for him to explore.

Ji Xun's departure did not attract much attention.

There were only three people who came to deliver it.

Alice and Allen will be guests here for a while.

Wait for the large forces of the Rebel Dragon Army to come to the Old Continent and then join them together.

The two of them have become very familiar with Catalina these days and get along happily.

Don't worry too much.

Seeing that Ji Xun on the motorcycle had started the steam engine, Alice and Allen waved and said, "Mr. Ji Xun, you must be more careful."

Both of them have always been full of respect for their savior.

They knew that Ji Xun was going to ask for Aragorn, so they were even more grateful, but at the same time they were worried about his safety.

Ji Xun felt the kindness and responded with a smile: "Yeah."

Catalina also looked at Ji Xun and smiled slightly: "Take care."

This was not the first time that the two had separated, and Ji Xun was not pretentious and said, "You are the same."

This world is so cruel.

No one knows whether separation means eternal farewell.

Catalina's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she smiled slightly: "I'll treat you to a drink next time we meet."

Ji Xuncan said: "Okay."

As he said that, the steam motorcycle sped with roaring sound and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
