Cataclysm King

Chapter 300: The Four Royal Sacred Artifacts

 Chapter 300 The Four Sacred Artifacts of Royal Power

 The next day.

 The secret room deep in the bunker.

The bookshelves in the room are densely lined with various books. Maps depicting intricate strategic routes hang prominently on the walls. There is also a thick stack of documents placed on the mahogany table.

 This is Catalina's study.

 She chose this place for the meeting.

 There are no outsiders.

 There is a quiet and relaxing atmosphere permeating the whole 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.

 “How well did Miss Alice rest last night?”

“I haven’t slept so peacefully for 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 see it sometime. Mercenaries who go on adventures in the wild will always bring back a lot of surprising materials."

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

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

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

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

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?”

ˆ “.”

 The conditions may be simple, but the sincerity can be perceived.

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

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

 The more we know, the better the world will be.

“However, 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.”

 “Hmm. You can 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 a lot of questions that he was curious about.

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

 As a guest, Alice is very satisfied with the atmosphere.

“Hey, that’s not the seventh level, it’s almost the eighth level?”

ˆ “.”

"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 half a level stronger than legendary monsters 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."

Ji Xun was chatting with Alice, and was once again shocked by the vastness of this fantasy world.

 The four of them had a great time chatting with each other.

 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.

And Alice is also very interested in the Eastern Continent, answering and asking questions.

 “How strong is the real dragon?”

 What's more, Ji Xun saved her life.

“Apart from 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 fact is that she worried too much.

 So we quickly got to the main topic.

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 were hostile to the Airel Empire and there was nothing they could not reveal.

"I see."

 At first, she was not sure about the extent of cooperation that 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.

Katarina on the side was already describing, drawing the map of the Southern Continent bit by bit with a pen.

“You’re saying that the Southern Continent discovered the Old Continent only in the past few years?”

“Hmm. 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."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun heard this and suddenly had a strange feeling in his mind.

The continental plates of this world are like

 A Rubik's Cube that can move?

 Or a moving island?

 While chatting, several 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. Usually those who choose this method are extremely rare."

"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 demigods in the true sense, 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.”

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun understood completely as he listened.

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

Stepping into 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.

Hearing this, Ji Xuncai realized again how powerful old man Gong Wu was.

 According to what Alice said, even "divine power" has some secret practices.

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.

Katrina 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 Eastern Continent’s super-level inheritance has been blocked for two thousand years, and its super-level resources are barren.

 In this case, those who can still advance to the sixth level must have talent, hard work, and intelligence.

At present, 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.

 The breakthrough is already just a hair away.

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

 As time goes by, the top combat power of the coalition will gradually increase.

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

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

Although that guy likes to take risks, the information in his hand is really a huge favor that I don'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.

Katrina 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 Card Master civilization in the Southern Continent is strong, it is almost a "primitive society" in the field of science and technology.

 Alice also listened with great interest.

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

  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 time? If so, I seem to know the reason."

Other people really don’t know much about this topic.

 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, King Oransin was able to advance to the seventh level in a short period of 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 sacred objects also help to 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?"

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

 Alice nodded: "Yes!"

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows slightly when he said this: "The crown is indeed in the hands of the new king of Oran."

 Then he realized that the crown was not just the key to the old continent.

 There is also the wonderful function 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 inheritance that lasts from generation to generation.

Alice told astonishing 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 did not forget that when he got the devil's mark card [JOKER], there was an "M" signature on it.

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

 Could it be the same person?

And that's not 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 a more mysterious use besides saving lives?

Thoughts are racing.

Alice continued: "It is said that every sacred relic of royal power has powerful and mysterious power. Obtaining them will gain the recognition of the law of royal power. And because the holy relic itself was cast by the ancient demon god, it possesses the indescribable royal power and godhead. 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 details. 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 relics of royal power is this.

“So, after Arthur’s successful restoration, the surge in strength was caused by [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 feature 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 looked at each other waiting for the next step.

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 royal tomb of Augustus.

Katarina on the side also caught something and asked in confusion: "The most powerful holy weapon?"

 “Well. 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."

  Katrina: "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. 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.

  【K of Diamonds】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.

Olan royal family can block super-level knowledge in order to stabilize the political power.

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

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

"Um!"

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 listened with great interest.

 Originally, it was 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 serial name "Regicide" already shows that this approach is very special.

Ji Xun was also eye-opening as he listened.

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

 Communication is also about 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 dilapidated old castle.

Ji Xun got on the steam motorcycle.

 He is leaving.

 At the toad side, it’s time to go see if it can be rescued.

 This is the 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 Airel 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 see him off.

 Alice and Alan will be guests here for some time.

 Wait for the large force 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."

 The two 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."

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

It was not the first time that the two of them were separated. Ji Xun was not pretentious and said, "It's the same for you."

This world is so cruel.

 No one knows whether separation means eternal farewell.

Katrina's beautiful eyes were filled with sparkles, and she smiled slightly and said, "I'll treat you to a drink next time we meet again."

Ji Xuncanranly said: "Okay."

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