Chapter 133 The true identities of Chujiu and Nanjing
Ji Xun’s current fighting style is somewhat incomprehensible to other card masters.
Werewolves are good at concealing their traces. With the Relic Cloak and Shadow Sneak, they can attack almost everywhere in dungeons like Innocence City.
Professionals of the same level were killed almost before they noticed it.
Even if you can't defeat the second-level assassin, you will become a reckless man and chase and kill him without any thought.
Anyway, with the absolute agility attribute suppressed, the opponent will definitely not be able to escape.
The crispy profession is just like killing the cursed witch before. If you don’t have the means to kill Ji Xun in a short time, you will just chopping melons and vegetables.
Meat professions, like the second level in front of me, can’t run away, and they don’t have enough strength, so they can only exchange injuries for injuries. The wolf’s claws are calling and the scalpel is stabbing, and soon they will be gone. can end the battle.
Nan Jing on the side has long been stunned.
She has never seen any first-level card master fight so strongly against a second-level team.
She watched helplessly as the tall werewolf instantly killed several minions, and then pounced ferociously on the second-level fighter. After that, he rode on that guy and dealt with his face.
In the blink of an eye, blood spurted out all over the ground. Even at the second level, he didn't last long and died suddenly on the spot!
The scene was rough and bloody.
Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief after killing all the pursuers.
The animal-like features gradually faded away and returned to human form. He turned to look at Miss Meathead who was stunned there: "Don't just watch, help dispose of the body together."
Nan Jing's delicate body trembled: "Oh."
After handling the battle scene, the two of them walked quickly.
Not long after, they came to an abandoned dilapidated building in Nancheng.
Although various mysterious tracking methods are difficult to detect, they almost have a certain release distance.
It has just been confirmed that the method used by Golden Oak to locate the Southern Mirror is biometric identification. The relic has been intercepted, so the threat is not great.
And as long as you hide far enough away, it will be safe for the time being.
Ji Xun looked around and saw that this dilapidated building had a wide view and was convenient for retreat.
The two found a corner and sat down.
The abandoned building looked empty. The two of them didn't speak for a while, breathing heavily.
Looking at the dull-looking lady beside him, Ji Xun returned the storage ring she had given him before and said, "Take your storage ring."
< br>
But Nan Jing looked at it but had no intention of putting it away. She thought of something, and her expression was even a little embarrassed: "How about I let you go there first?"
She doesn't know where to go now.
I can’t go back home, and no one in Sinless City dares to trust anyone.
Before, it was because he trusted an old friend in the secret stronghold of Innocence City that his traces were exposed and he was hunted down.
As a result, Mo Feng and A Yao, who had been friends since childhood, were killed.
Now I have escaped this time.
But next time, not necessarily.
On the contrary, Ji Xun is the only person she can trust in Wuxin City now and can entrust these things to her.
The innocent girl suddenly became worried, and her cuteness became very helpless.
Ji Xun saw an unprecedented melancholy in Nan Jing's expression. He didn't say much, but instead asked, "How did you provoke the Golden Oak Security Company?"
< br>
When Nan Jing listened, his thoughts were still a little confused.
But looking at those calm and calm eyes, as if I was frightened all day long during the days of fleeing, I felt an inexplicable peace of mind at this moment.
Since I chose to trust the person in front of me with the family secret treasure, there seems to be nothing I can’t say.
She said: "I don't know for sure. But now it seems that the golden oak tree may have something to do with our royal court."
Using the word "royal court" directly. .
She also knew that Ji Xun should have guessed her identity long ago after getting along with her so many times.
There is no point in hiding it.
Of course Ji Xun knows what the royal court means.
I went to the information dealer to inquire about it before.
Two hundred years ago, the Oran Dynasty collapsed, and the newly established Federal Assembly sent the last King Augustus to the gallows.
The remaining palace guards of the old dynasty began to flee with some royal blood descendants and palace secret treasures.
This is the group of "remnants of the old era" who have been on the wanted list for hundreds of years.
This group of people disappeared for decades, and later there was news that they were active in various coup conspiracies in the federation, always thinking about restoration.
But because of the complex environment of the underground world, those people were well hidden and the federal government was unable to find them.
Ji Xun is no stranger to Chujiu and Nanjing.
From their words, it is not difficult to infer that the remnants of the old era should be in a cave near Innocence City.
After all, if you want to overthrow the Federation and restore it, the Old Continent, which is full of opportunities, is the only chance for those people.
Listening to what Nan Jing said, Golden Oak Security Company, one of the giants in Innocence City, is most likely a force secretly supported by the Augustus Royal Party.
Thinking about it, Ji Xun asked again: "What happened? Why are you being chased by the royal court?"
He originally didn't want to pry into other people's privacy.
But now, Nanjing is in a very dangerous situation.
He had no intention of just leaving the person here and leaving him alone.
But if you don’t ask clearly, something will happen to this meatball head sooner or later.
Nan Jing listened and hesitated for a moment, then said: "I don't know it yet. My mother first discovered something abnormal, then arranged for us to escape, and then we were hunted down all the way. ”
“.”
Ji Xun also frowned when he heard this.
He was also very surprised. This confused lady still hadn’t figured out why she was being hunted?
Ji Xun thought about the exaggerated palace secret treasures that he had glimpsed in the storage ring before. Even the top nobles of the Federation may not have such a large collection.
Could it be these treasures?
Or identity?
It was not difficult for him to guess that Nan Jing's identity was not simple, so he asked directly: "Xiao Nan, what is your family's status in the royal court?"
Nan Jing glanced at Ji Xun's expression, weak. Weakly said: "Our Nan family has been the high priest of the royal court since ancient times."
After all, the dynasty has collapsed, and they, the remnants of the old era, have long lost their former glory.
Speaking of this identity, it feels more like some old antiques showing off.
I don’t feel honored, but a bit shameful.
"."
Ji Xun's eyes twitched as he listened.
He guessed that Nan Jing’s status was unusual, but he didn’t expect it to be so high.
He learned from some classics that priests had an extraordinary status in ancient dynasties, and the position of high priest was, in other words, called "National Preceptor".
Almost the most trusted person by the king, under one person.
Rights are secondary.
The most important duty of the high priest is to master some secrets passed down by the royal family, similar to humanoid files.
They knew some ancient secrets that even the emperor didn't know about.
But even the king’s right-hand man is being hunted down?
What do those remnants of the old era think?
Coup, or something else?
Things are getting more and more complicated.
Thinking of other things, Ji Xun frowned and asked: "Then what is Chujiu's status in the royal court?"
Nan Jing blinked and asked: "Sister Chujiu Didn’t tell you?”
Ji Xun nodded: “Yes.”
Nan Jing seemed to find it difficult to say those words, but he also said: "She is the illegitimate daughter of His Majesty the King."
"."
When Ji Xun heard this, he was not too surprised. Accident.
Chu Jiu’s identity is very special. He had already guessed it. After all, the Fifty-Two Demon God Source Cards are not found everywhere.
But the status of illegitimate children in this world is very low.
Among those romantic nobles, who doesn’t have ten or eight illegitimate children?
In order to prevent these aristocratic gentlemen from leaving bastards on a whim and affecting the purity of the "noble bloodline" and the distribution of title inheritance, illegitimate children cannot even have surnames.
The status is similar to that of a slave.
No wonder it’s called Chujiu.
It seems that it is not a nickname, but that it was chosen casually without a name.
Speaking of which, Chujiu's identity and bloodline are still that of a serious princess who has subjugated her country?
Ji Xun asked directly: "So, Chujiu was hunted down because of her fused demon mark?"
Just the orthodox princess.
Illegitimate daughter marriage is not necessarily the case.
There are fifty-two Demon God Source Cards in total, and most of them have been lost in the long river of history.
Even if the remnants of the old era had many treasures, they would not be able to give them to an illegitimate daughter easily.
Nan Jing doesn’t know if this kind of secret can be told, but there seems to be nothing that can’t be said: “Yeah. Sister Chujiu became the only one in thousands of years to successfully fuse under a very accidental circumstance. The epic source card of the [Q of Diamonds-White Queen] sequence inherited from the royal family, so there has always been huge controversy within the royal court.”
“Q of Diamonds.”
It’s no wonder that Ji Xun. .
This kind of high-sequence card master has never seen before. This is the first time I have heard of it.
But this may not be the most important reason for the assassination.
He thought of another question, "So, if you fuse this source card, you can inherit the royal power, right?"
Hearing this, Nan Jing's crystal eyes widened: "Ah, Mr. Ji Xun, how do you know?"
"."
Ji Xun pursed his lips.
I finally know why Chujiu was hunted down by his family.
If it is just that the source card is integrated, this is not a problem.
Anyway, once the fusion person dies, the epic demon mark can be analyzed 100% of the time.
And a master who can fuse source cards will definitely be a great help to those remnants of the old days.
Even if it is an illegitimate daughter.
Not to the point of killing them all.
So the only problem is that the source card may involve some symbolic meaning.
For example, royal power.
Ji Xun looked at the incredulous expression on Miss Meathead's face and responded: "Guess."
Since he had already asked the question anyway, he simply asked to the end, and he said again: "So, what exactly is involved in Chujiu's source card?"
Nan Jing thought about it and said with a complicated expression: "The inheritance of the Oran royal family has two source cards and the corresponding professional advancement sequence. One is the [K of Spades-Tyrant] fused by the kings of the past generations, and the other is [Q of Diamonds-White] Queen]. According to the ancestral teachings of King Augustus, once either one of the two source cards is successfully fused, you will be eligible to inherit the royal power. After all, there has been a queen in power in the dynasty."
As she said that, she glanced at Ji Xun again, as if she couldn't believe why he could guess it, and added: "But this is a secret that only the royal family and the high priest know. I only learned about it from my mother."
When Ji Xun heard this, he completely understood.
Being hunted down on Chujiu was essentially a palace fight.
The ancestral precept of King Augustus is that those who can integrate the source card can inherit the royal power, which means: the prince establishes the virtuous.
In this extraordinary world where the jungle prevails, a powerful king is in the best interest of the kingdom.
So there is nothing wrong with this ancestral precept.
The only person who has a problem is the person who executed it. Thinking of something, Ji Xun said quietly: "Is your King critically ill, or is he unable to govern for some reason, and the Queen has become involved in politics?"
Nan Jing heard this. , with a ghostly expression: "You, you. How do you know?"
This is the top secret of the royal court!
His Majesty the King suffered from a strange disease half a year ago, and now almost all affairs of the Royal Court are handled by the Queen.
Nan Jing himself was informed by his mother before leaving.
No one knows about this except her mother and the queen, who are the high priests!
I’m very surprised, how did this person know?
Ji Xun looked bored, because the plot was ridiculous, and added: "Does your queen have a son? He should be pretty good in all aspects. But he just couldn't integrate [King of Spades - Tyrant]."
< br>“.”
Nan Jing was too shocked to answer.
But her expression let Ji Xun know that she was right.
Ji Xun was able to guess right, not because he was so smart.
At the end of the day, it's still human nature.
Royal power is almost the highest temptation that humans can come into contact with. In the face of this temptation, the greed and ugliness of human nature are clearly visible.
It is this kind of palace struggle for power drama, which is densely recorded in the history books of previous lives.
Ji Xun didn’t want to say much.
After understanding this, he knew the origin of Chujiu clearly.
But what does this have to do with Nanjing being hunted?
Could it be that her mother had spied on some palace secret and wanted to silence the whole family?
No way, he is the high priest under one person.
Even if the harem is involved in politics, what kind of queen is not so stupid as to give up her own life, right?
Ji Xun looked at the ball-headed lady who had not yet recovered from the shock, and asked: "Xiaonan, did anything unusual happen to you before you were hunted down?"
"This"
Hearing this, Nan Jing also fell into deep thought.
In fact, during these days of hiding in Tibet, she had also thought about why she was being hunted.
She guessed it was the royal family.
But I can’t guess why.
Their Nan family has been loyal to the royal family for generations, and they have been linked to the royal family for a long time.
No matter what the crime is, she should not be charged.
Besides, there is no crime at all.
Ji Xun looked at her puzzled expression until he could no longer ask, and then continued to prompt: "For example, there are some outsiders coming to your royal court, or there are some changes that are different from the past."< br>
After saying this, Nan Jing pondered for a long time, suddenly realized, and said: "It's true! Three months ago, another group of people with very mysterious origins went to the royal court, and they carried a coffin in. .”
Ji Xun felt vaguely that he had grasped the key, "Coffin?"
"Yes!"
Nan Jing nodded and said: "I remember it very clearly. Because the coffin is going to enter the palace. It must pass my mother's inspection. I happened to be with my mother at the time and heard the report."
Ji Xun: "Then what?"
The coffin that cannot be contained is not a catastrophic object. It’s also something very special.
Nan Jing was also speechless: "Then... there was no more."
She just saw it.
There is no way to access the secrets at that level.
“.”
Ji Xun was helpless as he listened.
This Miss Meathead obviously has a great family background, but she doesn't know anything about it.
Originally I thought she should know many secrets.
But this question.
Hey!
An idea flashed in Ji Xun's mind, and he suddenly thought of another question.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, an illegitimate princess from a royal family became so powerful.
Since Nan Jing is the daughter of the high priest's family, her combat power is pretty average.
He directly asked his doubts: "By the way, your mother didn't teach you some secret techniques of the high priest?"
"."
I don't know either. Why, Miss Meathead, who was obviously cute and slow, understood instantly when she heard these words.
That slightly resentful expression seemed to be able to speak: I understand, you are just criticizing me.
Nan Jing pursed his lips slightly and responded: "There is no need to teach the inheritance of the high priest. Our Nan family has a special inheritance method. When my mother passes away, I will get the inheritance and inherit the high priest. Position."
"."
When Ji Xun heard this, he suddenly realized: Initiation Dafa?
Well, I am ignorant.
Since there are skill cards in this world, this inheritance method makes sense.
These ancient families will always pop up in some strange places to refresh their knowledge.
Ji Xun returned to the topic just now and asked: "What happened after that group of people went in with the coffin? What changes happened to your royal court? It was different from before. For example, who died, the key Position change or something like that?”
With someone’s guidance, Nanjing’s thinking became much clearer in an instant.
After thinking about it, she suddenly said: "After that, the 'plague' appeared!"
"Plague?"
Ji Xun also thought of something while listening.
The last time we went to "Greedy Mine", Nanjing and the others were looking for a medicine to cure the plague.
Even in the maze of the cemetery, Chujiu and Nanjing seemed to be looking for potion supplies.
Now looking at the cause and effect, he casually said: "Did the coffin bring the plague?"
"One more thing!"
Nan Jing seemed to suddenly have an idea, and thought of something one after another, and said: "Because I am a doctor. So after I returned with the witch formula, I have been helping to deal with the plague in the quarantine area. And Soon after, I confirmed that I was also infected! But strangely, I didn’t have any symptoms. After I told my mother about it, she took me for some tests, and she seemed very surprised. I remember what she said at that time: The plague may not be a virus, but more like a pollution with extraordinary characteristics of a high law. "
"You are infected with the plague and you don't get sick?"
Hearing this. After saying this, Ji Xun also felt a flash of inspiration, as if he had grasped the key point.
Now it seems that there is a high probability that there is something wrong with the coffin.
But the cause of the plague is not yet important.
The point is,
Since it is a widespread infection, there are no lesions in Nanjing.
This can only show that her body is very special.
For an ordinary person, it might still be said to be a probability.
Of course, Nan Jing's identity is also the successor of the high priest.
Intuition told Ji Xun.
Nan Jing was hunted down, maybe not because of something.
It’s because of her!
Ji Xun asked again: "Then your mother found out about this and let you escape with your belongings?"
"Yeah!"
Nan Jing seemed to understand, and her whole pretty face lit up.
I have been running away for the past few days, and it seems that I suddenly saw the reason.
But after thinking about it, she frowned again.
She couldn't figure out what direct relationship this had with her being hunted, and murmured: "But my mother didn't say anything."
Hear the words.
Ji Xun also fell into deep thought.
He couldn't imagine why her mother didn't say anything even though she allowed her to escape first.
He rolled his eyes, thoughts racing in his mind.
Nan Jing’s mother must have discovered something, otherwise she would not have let Nan Jing escape from danger in advance.
But since she didn’t say it, she couldn’t say it unless.
?
Why can't you say it?
Ji Xun immediately realized that this might be something beyond his cognitive level.
Fortunately, I read enough books.
He thought of some records in the classics.
There are many mysterious methods in this world, such as prophecies and divination. Once spoken, they leave traces in time and space.
Some high-level beings can follow those traces and sense them.
Just like there is a saying in ancient books, mentioning the names of gods will be noticed by the higher consciousness in the dark.
Other than that, Ji Xun couldn't think of any reason why Nan Jing's mother discovered something but didn't say anything.
But just thinking of this made him take a breath.
Looking at Miss Meathead who didn’t seem to understand the situation in front of him, he felt that there was a huge cause and effect involved in this matter.
Thinking about it again, could it be that this cute and cute girl, the Ou Huang, who always performs well in different dimensions, is not just lucky, but has something wrong with her own body?
I was fascinated by the thought for a moment.
Nan Jing felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by that gaze, and asked: "Mr. Ji Xun, why are you looking at me like this?"
Ji Xun listened, came back to his senses, and frowned.
He knew that asking like this would definitely lead to nothing.
Thinking of something, he said: "I think you can look through the things your mother asked you to bring out. There may be something very important in them."
Nan Jing listened. Her pretty face was slightly bitter, obviously she had tried.
She said directly: "Mr. Ji Xun, why don't you help me take a look? I have already checked it roughly before. I didn't find anything special."
"."
Ji Xun looked slightly speechless after hearing this.
Forget it if it were something for ordinary people.
The Keolan Kingdom is an ancient kingdom that has ruled the underground kingdom for thousands of years.
The royal family’s collection is probably a priceless treasure that no big noble today would dare to imagine.
Even if he was in exile, how could it be that something entrusted to him by the high priest’s old mother would not be treasured?
Is this girl really not wary of an outsider at all?
Ji Xun complained: "Aren't you afraid that if you find some treasure, it will be snatched away by you in a minute?"
Nan Jing listened but looked unconcerned: "Ah Mr. Ji Xun has something he likes, so I’ll give it to you.”
I had this idea when I entrusted him with the storage ring.
If you can't survive, you might as well give everything to your friends.
“.”
Ji Xun also had a slightly different expression as he listened.
But he didn’t say anything, and just helped Nan Jing rummage through those things.
He felt that only by finding a certain "key" could the hidden danger of Nanjing being hunted be completely resolved.
But it's just to help organize.
Ji Xun didn't think that outsiders could discover the hidden methods left by the Oran high priest who didn't know what level of card master he was.
While sorting it out, he reminded: "Think about some secrets that only you and your mother know. For example, the children's songs that I sang to you when you were sleeping, birthday gifts, some shared riddles, word puzzles, and proverbs. Something like that"
Nan Jing also had an idea instantly and responded: "Oh. "
With such a trustworthy helper, she could calm down and think.
