Ji Xun's current fighting style is somewhat incomprehensible to other card masters.
Werewolves are good at concealing their traces, and 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 even noticed it.
Even if you can't defeat the second-level assassin, you will turn into 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 career 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-type professions, like the second-level one in front of you, can't run away, and they don't have enough strength. They can only exchange injuries for injuries. The wolf's claws are calling and the scalpel is stabbing randomly, and the battle can be ended quickly.
Nan Jing on the side had 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 delivered a blow to his face.
In the blink of an eye, blood spurted all over the ground. Even if it was the second level, it didn't last long and he died suddenly on the spot!
The scene was rough and bloody.
Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief after killing all the pursuers.
The animalistic features gradually faded away and he returned to his human form. He turned to look at Miss Meathead who was stunned there: "Don't just watch, help us dispose of the body."
Nan Jing's delicate body trembled: "Oh."
After dealing with 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 all have a certain release distance.
It has just been determined that the method used by Golden Oak to locate the South Mirror is biometric identification. The relics have 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 next to him, Ji Xun returned the storage ring she had given him before and said, "Take your storage ring."
But Nan Jing looked at it but had no intention of putting it away. He thought of something, and his expression was even a little awkward: "How about I just put it away for you first?"
She didn't know where to go now.
There is no way to go back home, and no one in Sinless City dares to trust anyone.
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 Sinless 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?"
When Nan Jing listened, his thoughts were still a little confused.
But looking at those calm and calm eyes, as if he had been frightened all day long during the days of fleeing, he felt a sense of inexplicable peace of mind at this moment.
Since I chose to trust the person in front of me with the family secret treasure, there seemed to be nothing I couldn't say.
She said: "I don't know for sure. But now it seems that the Golden Oak may have something to do with our royal court."
The term "Wang Ting" was used directly.
She also knew that Ji Xun should have guessed her identity long ago after getting along with her so many times.
There's no point in hiding it.
Of course Ji Xun knew what the royal court meant.
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.
These are the "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.
However, due to 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 they want to overthrow the Federation and restore it, the Old Continent, which is full of opportunities, is the only chance for those people.
From what Nanjing 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.
But if you don't ask clearly, something will happen to this meatball head sooner or later.
After Nan Jing hesitated for a moment, he added, "I don't know it yet. My mother discovered something abnormal first, 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 that this confused lady still hadn't figured out why she was being hunted?
Ji Xun thought about the exaggerated palace secret treasures he had glimpsed in the storage ring before. Even the top nobles in the Federation may not have such a large collection.
Could it be these treasures?
Or identity?
It was not difficult for him to guess Nan Jing's identity, so he asked directly: "Xiao Nan, what is your family's status in the royal court?"
Nan Jing glanced at Ji Xun's expression and said weakly: "Our Nan family has been the high priest of the royal court since ancient times."
After all, the dynasty has collapsed, and these 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 when he heard this.
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".
He is 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 was unaware of.
But is this the king's right-hand man being hunted down?
What do those remnants of the old era think?
A coup, or something else?
Things are getting 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: "Yeah."
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."
"."
Ji Xun was not too surprised when he heard this.
Chujiu's identity was very special. He had already guessed it. After all, the Fifty-Two Demon God Source Cards were 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 "aristocratic blood" and the distribution of titles among plutocrats, 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 a legitimate princess.
Illegitimate daughter and marriage are not necessarily the case.
There are a total of fifty-two Demon God Source Cards, 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 didn't know if such a secret could be told, but it seemed that there was nothing that couldn't be said: "Yeah. Sister Chujiu became the only one in thousands of years to successfully integrate the royal family's inheritance by chance. Q-White Queen] sequence of epic source cards. Therefore, there has always been huge controversy within the royal court."
"Q of Diamonds."
It’s no wonder Ji Xun.
Masters of high-sequence cards have never seen it before, and 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 won't be able to inherit the king's power, right?"
Hearing this, Nan Jing's eyes widened: "Ah, Mr. Ji Xun, how did you know?"
"."
Ji Xun frowned.
I finally know why Chujiu was hunted down by his family.
If we just talk about integrating the source card, 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's an illegitimate daughter.
Not to the point of killing them all.
So the only problem is that the source card may have some symbolic meaning.
For example, kingship.
Ji Xun looked at the incredulous expression on Miss Wanzitou's face and responded: "Guess."
Anyway, I asked them all, so I just asked him to the end, and he said: "So, what exactly is involved in the source card of the ninth day of the year?"
Nanjing 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 [K of Spades-Tyrant] fused by His Majesty the Kings of the past generations, and the other is [Q-White of Diamonds] Queen]. According to the ancestral precepts passed down by King Augustus, once either one of the two source cards is successfully fused, you are eligible to inherit the royal power. After all, there have been queens 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 the ninth day of the lunar month 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 ones who have problems are those who implement them.
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 interfered in politics?"
When Nan Jing heard this, he looked like a ghost: "You, you... how did 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 the Queen handles almost all affairs of the Royal Court.
Nan Jing himself was informed by his mother before leaving.
Except for her mother and the queen, who are the high priests, no one else knows about this!
I'm surprised, how did this person know?
Ji Xun looked bored, because the plot was ridiculous, and added: "Does your queen have a son? It should be pretty good in all aspects. But it just failed to integrate [King of Spades - Tyrant]."
"."
Nan Jing was too shocked to answer.
But her expression told Ji Xun that she had guessed correctly.
Ji Xun's guess was not because of how smart he was.
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 front of this temptation, the greed and ugliness of human nature are clearly visible.
It's this kind of drama of power struggle in the palace, 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 the whole family silenced?
No, that’s not the case, you are the high priest under one person.
Even if the harem is involved in politics, what kind of queen would not be so stupid as to give up her own life, right?
Ji Xun looked at the young lady with a round head who had not yet recovered from the shock, and asked, "Xiaonan, did anything unusual happen to you before you were hunted down?"
"this"
When Nan Jing heard this, he also fell into deep thought.
In fact, during these days of hiding in XZ, 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 crime she is accused of, she should not be blamed.
Besides, there is no crime at all.
Ji Xun looked at her puzzled expression until he couldn't get the answer, 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."
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?"
"Um!"
Nan Jing nodded and said, "I remember it very clearly. Because before the coffin could enter the palace, it had to pass my mother's inspection. I happened to be with my mother at the time and heard the report."
Ji Xun: "Then what?"
A coffin that cannot be contained is not a catastrophic object, but it is also a very special thing.
Nan Jing was also speechless: "Then... there will be no more."
She just saw it.
There is no way to access the secrets at that level.
"."
Ji Xun also felt helpless when he heard this.
This Miss Meathead obviously has a great family background, but she doesn't know anything about it.
I originally thought she should know many secrets.
But this question.
Huh!
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 prowess must be mediocre.
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 why, but Miss Meathead, who was obviously cute and slow, understood it instantly when she heard this.
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: "The inheritance of the high priest does not need to be taught. Our Nan family has a special inheritance method. When my mother passes away, I will receive the inheritance and inherit the position of the high priest."
"."
When Ji Xun heard this, he suddenly understood: Initiation Dafa?
Okay, 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's different from before. For example, who died, key positions were replaced, etc."
With someone guiding me, Nanjing's thinking became much clearer in an instant.
She thought about it and suddenly said: "After that, the 'plague' appeared!"
"plague?"
Ji Xun also thought of something while listening.
The last time they went to "Greed 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 when he connected the cause and effect, he casually said: "Did the coffin bring the plague?"
"Another point!"
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, not long after, I confirmed that I was also infected! But the strange thing is that I don’t have any signs of disease. After I told my mother about this, she took me for some tests and seemed to be surprised. I remember she said at that time: The plague may not be a virus. , but more like the pollution of extraordinary characteristics of a high-level law.”
"Are you infected with the plague and not sick?"
Hearing 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 was a widespread infection, there were no lesions in Nanjing.
This only shows that her body is very special.
For ordinary people, it might still be said to be a probability.
Of course, Nan Jing's identity is also the successor of the high priest.
Ji Xun's intuition told him.
Nan Jing was hunted down, maybe it wasn't because of something.
And it’s because of who she is!
Ji Xun asked again: "Then your mother discovered this and let you escape with your belongings?"
"Um!"
Nan Jing seemed to understand, and his 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 how this was directly related to her being hunted, so she murmured, "But my mother didn't say anything."
Hear the words.
Ji Xun also fell into deep thought.
He also 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, unless...
Can't say?
But why can't you say it?
Ji Xun immediately realized that this might be something beyond his own 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.
Certain 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 found out 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 this matter involved a lot of cause and effect.
Thinking about it again, could it be that this cute and cute girl, who was perfect every time in another dimension, was not just lucky, but had 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 if he asked this question, nothing would come of it.
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's pretty face turned slightly bitter as she listened, 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.
It would be fine if it were replaced by something for ordinary people.
The Kingdom of Oran 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 he not have any treasure as something entrusted to him by the high priest’s old mother?
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 originally 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 when he heard this.
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 Nan Jing 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 high priest of Oran 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 were sung to you when you were young, birthday gifts, some shared riddles, word puzzles, proverbs, etc."
Nan Jing also had an idea instantly and responded: "Oh."
With such a trustworthy helper, she could calm down and think.
