Chapter 548 The mysterious man entering the city with a jar
Ji Xun had a good impression of Reni.
After all, the professional template [Thousand Hands Trick] he used when he was promoted to the sixth level was obtained from Reni, the master of the puppets of the drama god family more than 200 years ago, "Cunning Puppet" A unique card left by Yami.
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 get where he is now.
Seeing an old acquaintance appear in Hong Lou, Ji Xun couldn't help but guess: "Are you here because of me?"
He and Reni knew each other because of the inheritance relic of the Xishen clan [Gray Mist Relic] Mutually】.
Before Ji Xun's witch deformation was out of control, 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 across 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 Nandalu, the witch aberration also found the succubus secret method to suppress it, so he was not in a hurry to find someone.
I didn’t expect to meet him in Honglou now.
Reni is the grandpa 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, [Grey Mist Relic] can indeed solve the witch’s distortion. Problem. But that method will strip away part of the knowledge, and the cost is not small, and it may directly turn into a lunatic.”
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 some of the emperor's consciousness remains in it. Fragments."
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?"
"Yeah."
Listening to Ji Xun's words, 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. "
Nan Jing was surprised when he heard this: "Ah? Ji Xun, do you know that His Majesty has transformed into a witch? "
Even Chujiu, who had always been expressionless, still had a look of great interest in his eyes.
But after all, Emperor Lanlingster is the ancestor of Chujiu, and he can be considered a close person to the ancestors of Nanjing. It is naturally not good to gossip about the ancestors.
Ji Xun had no such scruples, "Yes."
He smiled and said: "Emperor Lanlingst sealed the 'Scarlet Corruption Seiadis' in the South On the mainland, that time was very early, and the Talon Empire might not have been established at that time. Later, after Talon was founded, the epic recorded that he was no longer a witch. I suspected that he had to find a way to reverse the distortion. , or the consciousness related to the witch is stripped away and the gender is changed."
Soul reversal is not feasible, so it can only be stripped away.
"That's it."
Through time and space, they heard the gossip and interesting stories of their ancestors from hundreds of thousands of years ago. Both Chujiu and Nanjing listened with gusto.
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: "Um, was His Majesty the Emperor good-looking during the witch period?"
Ji Xun looked at the gossipy eyes and frowned. move.
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."
Nang Jing heard this , a blazing fire of gossip burned in the crystal eyes, and asked: "Ah, how beautiful is it?"
Ji Xun's guess was right. There has always been this rumor in the Nan family's inheritance that is 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 said nothing, 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 that lingers in her body that eclipses the world.
Recalling that glance back, Ji Xun was deeply impressed by the black that seemed to be the most gorgeous 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: "???"< br>
“Huh?”
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 among themselves and enjoyed it.
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 might have come here for recreation.
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 looking at it for a while, I found that Reni seemed to be waiting for something.
The situation in Innocence City is very special now, 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 to the fact that someone was coming towards him.
But when 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 acted as if he was meeting an acquaintance. Expression, greeting: "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: "I have a long story. . I have 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 to ask any more questions, he explained directly: "It was already two months later when I saw the message you left. Then something happened again, and I came to Innocence only three months ago. Cheng didn't see you again, so I thought I was late and something had happened to you. After all, I had agreed at the beginning that I was just borrowing the relic."
The tone was full of sincere apology.
It’s not that he is untrustworthy, 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 delayed your business."
"No, it didn't."
Ji Xun He smiled and shook his head.
Seeing 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 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 not convenient 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.
Think again about the inside story that his past identity may have exposed him to.
It is very possible that the Oran Royal Court may have some big work to do.
Seeing that Ji Xun was silent, Reni seemed to have remembered something again, and said: "By the way, I have studied it carefully before and realized that in addition to some of the consciousnesses of the ancestors of my Xishen clan, this relic There are fragments, and there are some secrets about Emperor Lanlingst, but I don’t have enough exposure to the realm. Brother Ji Xun, you are more talented than me. You can think about it more. If there is another chance in the future, please help me get those. Puppetry is passed on to the right person."
These words are like giving last words.
Ji Xun heard too many hidden meanings.
Since Reni knows that Innocence City is dangerous, why doesn’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."< br>
As he said that, he directly added: "I was asked by an old friend to help rescue a junior."
Ji Xun heard that he understood and had already 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 not someone else, but 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?"
No one now The situation in Sin City is very complicated, and 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 just didn't find a breakthrough to participate in this 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 cause trouble Get into big trouble.”
There was an auction manual in the luxury room he just opened, and he happened to glance at it and saw the next slave auction.
The slaves 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 also seems to know that he will probably die, but he will still try. 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 this secret.
Ji Xun, an outsider, is just right.
"Grandson?"
Ji Xun was really surprised when he heard 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?
And his semi-mechanically modified body doesn’t look like he can get pregnant with old age.
Reni was afraid that Ji Xun would misunderstand that he had concealed something before, so he said: “I only found out 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.
Looking at the old man’s expression, there is probably something hidden in it.
But Reni did not continue. He showed a rare embarrassment 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 it. It is obvious that the woman still has an identity.
It is likely that he is a senior member of the Oran Royal Court. Perhaps Chujiu and Nanjing still know each other.
Ji Xun just chatted and had no intention of leaving.
Reni looked anxious and reminded again: "Brother Ji Xun, do you have anything else to do in Innocence City? I mean, if not, just leave as soon as possible."
< br>
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 probably because of this. Things happen.
His brows frowned for an instant, 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 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 that 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 spread out instantly, and he also thought of some possibilities.
He also felt 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."
"Huh?"
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 as he listened.
If it were anyone else, he would not believe it, 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?
Reni had strong expectations in his eyes, and asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Brother Ji Xun, 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.
Because he was not sure that he would be able to save others even if he risked his life, Ji Xun's words seemed to make him grasp at 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.”
Listen At these words, Reni stood frozen on the spot as if struck by lightning. The trembling of his eyes showed his inner excitement, "Then you. You."
It seemed that there were too many words in his mouth, this 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 plan was, it seemed like he came alone.
High probability plans are 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.
After hearing what Ji Xun said, Reni finally breathed a sigh of relief.
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 young ladies from former federation noble families, and some are captured high-level card masters.
Although the lot did not say how they were captured, Ji Xun knew that several of them were elite guards from the secret base of the Oran Palace.
These are the baits arranged by the general of Iris.
Whoever buys it will be targeted.
Ji Xun didn't care at all. He held up 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 old, even a little younger than Ji Xun himself, he was a sixth-level card master!
And 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 has spent time in the Southern Continent, so of course he knows what is 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 inheritance of blood 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 Legion who are deliberately raising the price just to see some flaws.
This also made Lenny, who was observing in secret, feel as nervous as a roller coaster. He did not expect that the auction price would be driven up to such a high level.
If he 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.
Payment, handover, 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 be used to find 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 Reike, and he eats and drinks when he should in the city.
If the people of the Iris Corps cannot find out about his disguised identity, there will 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, so was his original plan.
After taking the photo, it was not possible to rescue the person until the chaos began five days later in Innocence City.
But a plan is a plan.
He thought he couldn't pretend to be as perfect as Ji Xun and deal with it calmly.
Time flies by like this.
Everything in Sinless City is as usual, and it is 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.
