Chapter 36 Hunter Square City
A class lasted more than two hours.
But it seemed like time passed quickly and it was over in a blink of an eye.
The young hunters were very interested in joining the Storm Group. They gathered around the podium one by one and registered as candidate members.
Ji Xun had no idea of joining the team for the time being and walked out of the Hunter Guild building.
Although this class only taught the basic knowledge of spell card masters, it was very fruitful for him.
Unconsciously, I walked to the union bounty hall again.
Ji Xun also stopped to take a look.
As he expected, a few days passed, and there was still no "wanted order" or "reward" looking for him in Innocence City.
The fourth young master of the Cao family was afraid that the news would be leaked, so he probably had to search for him secretly.
This also made Ji Xun feel that the threat was greatly reduced.
As he walked along, he looked around with his peripheral vision and saw some suspicious guys.
Maybe it’s for yourself, maybe it’s something else.
But he is not the only one with secrets in Innocence City.
Ji Xun didn’t take it seriously either.
After all, he couldn't catch himself on the train last time, and it would be even more impossible to find him now.
Ji Xun didn't think much, walked out of the building and continued to wander around the market outside the Hunter's Guild.
On a rare day off, he was also very interested in the strange and weird items on the stall, so he wandered over.
Although these stalls look simple, they are all first-hand goods brought by hunters from the ruins. Extraordinary materials, ancient documents, antiques, blueprints, secret scrolls...even many stall owners themselves don't know what they are selling.
There are a lot of good things.
But picking up missing items depends entirely on luck.
After all, enlightenment does not work all the time outside.
Enlightenment will not show things that are too much beyond cognition, or only show part of them.
Just like the previous [Secret Cause Medium], when it is not in your awareness, you can't even see it.
In these days, Ji Xun has gradually figured out some of the rules of this mysterious "enlightenment".
He found that the content of enlightenment was different for everyone.
This seems to be related to personal perception.
Just like Ji Xun himself, there are some words in his cognition, such as "BOSS", but this world has no such concept at all.
But enlightenment will show.
In other words, enlightenment is a more advanced and special way of expression that transcends existing human cognition and is not limited to the type of words.
Ji Xun didn't find it strange either.
There are so many secrets in this world that there can be "miracles" like those in different dimensions.
It was this sense of mystery that made him find it more and more interesting.
After visiting several stalls along the way, Ji Xun's eyes suddenly stopped in the distance.
He saw two beggars on the roadside.
It was a dirty little girl of seven or eight years old, holding a smaller child who looked like her brother. The siblings cuddled up on a stained blanket, looking at the people coming and going with empty eyes, hunger written on their faces.
There are two types of beggars in Innocence City, one is thieves, and the other is real orphans.
In this sinful city, human life is not valuable. The hunter mortality rate is high, and there are many such orphans.
Pedestrians coming and going were numb.
Most of the people in Innocence City are bloodthirsty wolves, and no one will pity the weak.
Ji Xun thought of something, grabbed something and walked over.
He squatted in front of the two siblings, smiled and asked: "Little girl, what is your name?"
As he said that, he took off his gas mask, like a magic trick Generally, the face changes into that of a clown with a funny red nose.
Just the bright smile on his face seems to make people happy when they see it.
The elder sister's eyes were still cold because of hunger, while the younger brother stretched out his hand curiously, as if he wanted to touch the clown mask.
Ji Xun didn't pay attention. Instead, he grinned and said, "I'll do a magic trick for you."
As he said that, under the curious eyes of the two siblings, he stretched out his hand and turned the page. Turn over the magic flower hand to indicate that your hand is empty.
"Watch it."
At this time, the smile on the clown's face became even brighter. He put his left hand in front of him as if to hide something, and then made a grab with his right hand. With a few movements, he pulled out and pulled out from the tiger's mouth in his left hand.
The next second, his brother's clear eyes suddenly lit up, because he watched a black thing being pulled out. Got it!
There is also a hint of freshly baked bread.
The younger brother seemed to have seen the most incredible scene in his life. He couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva and exclaimed: "Sister, it's bread! Bread!"
"Yes~ Look how long it is~”
The clown was immersed in the performance, but he was not finished yet.
He kept pumping, and a piece of black bread as thick as an arm grew longer and longer.
As if by magic, he pulled out a piece of black bread that was longer than his forearm.
Looking at this magical scene, the younger brother danced with excitement, pulled his sister's lapel, and said excitedly: "Sister, sister, look, this gentleman has really conjured a loaf of bread!!!"< br>
This is just a little trick that many magicians can do.
But at this moment, on those two innocent little faces, it seemed as if the whole world was shining with light, shining into the clouded heart, and it was as if the body suddenly warmed up.
Seeing this, the clown’s exaggerated red smile stretched to the corners of his eyes. He handed over the bread, showing no mercy to the weak, but only letting people feel the kindness of equality: "Eat it. This is for you."
With a piece of bread, the two siblings will not be hungry for two days.
I didn’t give any money because it was clear that they couldn’t keep it.
The eyes of the two siblings holding the bread trembled with excitement. Finally, the lifeless and gloomy color on their little faces gradually brightened.
Seeing this, the clown also smiled with satisfaction.
The moment he stood up and put on the gas mask again, his eyes turned cold again.
Ji Xun turned and left.
After walking a few steps, my sister's urgent voice came from behind: "Thank you, sir. My name is Ning."
Hearing this, Ji Xun smiled slightly under the gas mask. .
But he didn’t look back and left straight away.
Obviously I have been through a very bad life, but I can’t bear to see the suffering of others.
This is probably the Joker.
Life kisses you with pain, but he always responds with laughter.
Make others happy with your funny performances.
Ji Xun thought, and a thought arose.
If it hadn’t been for the kind-hearted bearded man in the traveling circus, there would probably have been a little boy freezing to death in the cave beside the railway that cold winter.
It's like encountering a small episode in life, not much thought, just random kindness.
Or is it an occupational disease engraved in your bones after years of playing the clown?
Probably.
Ji Xun didn’t take it to heart at all.
He walked all the way and soon came to a shop with a sign saying "Old Benson's Ancient Book Shop".
The wooden board at the door also says: Collection and sale of various ancient books and documents.
This is a small bookstore selling breathing techniques, card making classics and various magic classics.
The last time Ji Xun bought [Great Darkness Breathing Technique] from this shop. The shop is not big, but it has a good reputation among hunters and the prices are fair. Many hunters like to sell things here, so there are a lot of good things.
He came here to see more.
"Boss, the [Great Darkness Breathing Technique] I bought last time is very useful. It's worth the money!"
As soon as he entered the door, Ji Xun first made a rainbow fart, and then said: "I want to see it this time Others."
"Oh. Just take a look."
The boss seemed to remember that this was a repeat customer. The words "Don't read randomly" were swallowed in his mouth, and he let him read some less important books.
Ji Xun was not polite and started looking at it in the shop.
I can't read the classics on breathing techniques, but the ancient writings on stone slabs and antiques can be clearly seen.
It doesn’t matter whether he can understand it or not, the key is that he has a “photographic memory”!
As long as you read it carefully, you will remember these things in your mind.
Knowledge is the most valuable at any time.
The words and symbols of any civilization actually have rules. As long as you refer to them enough, you can even slowly decipher them.
This is true whether it is ideographic hieroglyphs, ideographic symbols, or various alphabetic characters representing sounds.
The same is true for the various mysterious symbols and mantras in this world.
The essence is to use patterns to express some content that the writer wants to express.
Ji Xun felt that as long as he memorized enough symbols, he could even slowly decipher the ancient documents of this world.
The secrets of the world will naturally open their doors.
Looking at these classics, Ji Xun suddenly felt that with his ability of photographic memory, it seemed that he would be a good choice in the future to switch to the [5-Wisdom] sequence of scholars or other card master professions?
He just browsed through various items in the store quickly, and his mind was like a typewriter, engraved with various mysterious symbols.
Because Ji Xun was distracted, he could read very quickly. In the eyes of others, he was just flipping through the pages casually.
The boss didn’t say anything.
There were many people coming and going, Ji Xun only glanced at them occasionally and didn't pay attention.
Unknowingly, a new customer suddenly arrived in the store, arriving before anyone else said: "Old man, are there any new goods?"
Ji Xun didn't pay attention at first.
Hearing the voice, he instinctively glanced sideways.
But after listening to the inquiry, the boss stood up abruptly, his tone even carrying a hint of flattery as if he were a distinguished guest?
“Oh, yes! Yes! Yes!”
As he spoke, he took out a large stack of black and white photos from the storage ring, and explained enthusiastically: "These are the latest ancient documents found by hunters recently. If you want the originals, I will go to the warehouse to find them for you. "
The man responded: "No need for now, I'll take a look first."
Ji Xun was stunned when he heard it. ? ?
This old man is usually indifferent to everyone, but he is so enthusiastic about this guest?
Also used honorifics.
What is this man's background?
He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a woman in a black motorcycle leather jacket entering the door. She has a wonderful figure, and the tight leather jacket just outlines her exquisite figure. But she was wearing a half-face gas mask and couldn't see her face clearly, but her eyes were very sharp.
Ji Xun didn't care much about her appearance, but he saw the mechanical equipment on her body at first sight.
Although a large part of it was hidden under the clothes, Ji Xun caught a glimpse of a detail and he immediately identified what it was.
This is definitely the most sophisticated mechanical equipment he has ever seen.
TR-33 military individual exoskeleton? Can anyone get this thing?
Never seen it, but heard about it.
It is said to be one of the most advanced individual equipment of the federal military. This thing is "contraband" anywhere outside the military!
Identity is not simple.
Ji Xun guessed the identity of the woman in leather clothes, and glanced at the stack of photos handed out by the boss out of the corner of his eye.
The photos are all kinds of ancient books, scrolls, or slate carvings with text on them.
And there are some drawings.
Ji Xun could tell at a glance that these seemed to be ancient documents related to machinery.
The steam machinery in this world is not the product of scientific research of the times, but the product of archeology. Just like the architectural level of the "Devil's Cross" ruins, it has been immortal for thousands of years and is difficult to replicate even now.
The woman in leather seemed to be very interested in the content of the photo, looking at it very intently, but her brows were furrowed, obviously not understanding: "Old man, have you found anyone who can translate these mechanical drawings?"< br>
The boss responded: "No. The few scholar-sequence spell card masters I know only know a little bit about Talun, and there are many professional terms on the mechanical drawings that they can't translate. Speaking of polymaths who are proficient in Talun ancient language, It's probably only available in Dragon City."
"."
The woman in leather clothes also sounded a little helpless. Just the pictures on the drawings couldn't meet the demand at all.
Ji Xun listened and then took another look at the photo.
There are some strange symbols above, this is Talungu language.
A text that tells the story of a civilization dating back thousands of years.
It was not until the Old Continent across the world rift was discovered that people were sure that the legendary mysterious civilization really existed.
Ji Xun has seen this kind of writing.
The first time was in the 407 extra-dimensional space.
Devil's Cross is actually the ruins of the Talon Dynasty's city.
Copy 407 restricts card master apprentices from entering and is very difficult. The reason why he could understand it at that time was solely due to the enlightenment of the rules of space itself.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun had a thought in his mind: "Hey, if I get that material, wouldn't I be able to master some ancient characters?"
The material I found in the safe There is a very thick stack.
Let’s not talk about the content, but just talk about the value of the text. It is absolutely different from the fragmentary and incomplete documents in the photos in front of us.
Furthermore, the death crisis at that time deepened his memory, and Ji Xun can still roughly remember many of the contents.
With the accurate meaning reference, it will be much easier to decipher it.
It’s a pity that the materials are at Chujiu.
I don’t know if she took it out of the space.
With a flash of thought, Ji Xun restrained his thoughts.
The girl in leather clothes continued to look at the photos, picking out some from time to time and asking the boss to prepare the originals to take away.
Ji Xun didn't get this kind of VIP treatment. He quickly finished watching what he could.
He didn't plan to spend too much time in this store. There were many other stores to visit. Finally thinking of something, he asked casually: "Boss, do you have a breathing method that can absorb several elements at the same time?"
It was a different person, and the boss really changed his love again. He ignored the answer and said indifferently: "No."
After a pause, he did not forget to complain: "You are strange. The more pure the spell power is, the safer it will be to release the spell. The more efficient it is, the less likely it is to lose control when advancing. "
"."
Ji Xun heard this as expected.
He has just looked at it carefully. All kinds of breathing methods are based on a certain single element.
Originally it was just a casual question.
He thinks it is probably the same as what the boss said, absorbing the magic power condensed from a single element is the right way? Or maybe the store is targeting ordinary people and does not involve those rare breathing techniques?
But I thought that no matter what, I couldn't find a suitable breathing method, and my talent of tolerance to all elements would be wasted.
What a pity.
Not getting the results he wanted, Ji Xun turned around and prepared to leave the shop.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the woman in motorcycle leather suddenly spoke and said lightly: "Do you think you need a multi-element breathing method?"
