Chapter 544: Evil Dragon Old God

When Kenshin was still very young, his father taught him: "Remember to maintain a good image at all times, stand properly and sit properly."

"Most people only see our appearance, and our appearance represents how we look in the eyes of others."

Kenshin always keeps this in mind.

His father does the same.

He always wears a clean white or green close-fitting long-sleeved shirt, a black or gray vest on the outside, and straight trousers, with his hair tied in a very short ponytail behind his head.

Although they are all daily wear, the appropriate and decent clothes, coupled with his tall and straight body, always make people shine and give people a sense of reliable trust.

After settling in Sand City, my father made many friends, both men and women.

For example, the famous legendary doctor Bingjiao, he would come every month to let my father do his hair. Sometimes he would also bring a bottle of wine to thank my father for his superb craftsmanship.

"Ji Cheng, your hairdressing skills are amazing."

The funeral doctor often sighed in front of the mirror: "Is this also the effect of the secret method?"

"No."

Father just smiled and said: "It's just proficiency."

Kenxin remembered that his father once said that he came from a distant country of secrets. It was a magical and chaotic country with various secret societies and organizations, and secrets and spells were even more varied.

The source of each spell can be traced back to the old gods of the past, and the secret magician is the successor of the power of the old gods.

Father did not miss his hometown.

"Some places are better to exist in memories."

"Now I think it's not bad, but if I go back, living in such a chaotic and precarious place, it would be a torture and pain."

Father is a talkative person.

He always patiently answers Kenxin's various doubts.

"Your mother's name is Fu Jianbing. She is a swordsman of the Fu Jianzhe clan. She died in a large blood tide in the world of Blood Hill."

"The blood tide is a riot of blood elements. It is a natural disaster, just like the sandstorm outside our Sand City. The blood tide will be accompanied by powerful blood element monsters. Many warriors died in that blood tide. They are all great heroes who protected more powerless civilians."

"As for where she is now, whether she is a ghost or has returned to the Sea of ​​​​Sinking, I don't know. Maybe one day she will be tired of practicing and come back to see us."

Father talked about his mother's death in a calm and simple way.

In addition to his mother's whereabouts, Jianxin was also interested in his father's secret method.

"In fact, my secret method has always been in use."

Father said with a smile.

"This secret technique is called [Charm], which can make people easily accepted and liked by everyone. It is an innate ability of our family."

"Charm can make it easy to get to know people, but this is just the beginning, because the process and the result are unpredictable."

My father was able to travel all over the country, learn the haircutting skills from the short-bearded dwarves, and gain a foothold in Sand City, and was favored by his cold and arrogant mother, all of which were inseparable from this secret technique.

However, Jianxin did not inherit this charm, nor did he get the innate swordsmanship talent of his mother's sword-bearing family.

He studied in the swordsman department of the "Forest College" in Sand City, and his ultimate goal was to enter Qianyuan Mountain for further study. However, due to his poor performance, he failed to graduate in six years, and finally Jianxin had to drop out of school.

After working as a swordsman in the [Super Union] for a few years, Jianxin's elemental sword ability suddenly improved by leaps and bounds. He not only comprehended [Avoidance] and [Stubbornness], but also awakened the [Theology] characteristics.

It was as if some kind of switch was turned on.

Kenshin thought that it might be his sincere prayer to God Yao that aroused the mercy of the gods.

In the second year, Kenshin found that he was particularly easy to make friends. Even if he was just standing there waiting for someone, men and women passing by might come over to say hello, chat with him, and want to get to know him.

Unlike his father, his awakened [Charm] only affects the opposite sex. Actively activating it will amplify its ability, which is considered an advanced level of charm.

Kenshin was not very happy either.

Many things in the world are time-limited.

When I was a child, I liked a wooden sword very much. I thought it was the best treasure in the world. If I could get it, I would own the whole world.

But after that time, I would no longer be so obsessed with the wooden sword.

In the past, Kenshin worked very hard to study the swordsman department, wanting to enter Qianyuan Mountain and become an elemental swordsman who was admired by everyone. Now he no longer has this idea.

One day, Kenshin suddenly didn't want to work.

I am not the type of extravagant waste, I only need three meals a day. He saved a little money, plus a large sum of money sent by his father, which was enough for a lifetime if he saved a little.

So Jianxin changed his life.

He lived in the Immortal City for a year, played ice hockey with the giants, taught the Nibelung family basic swordsmanship, and visited the Apostle Blood Knight who was as quiet as a sculpture beside the Inexhaustible Spring.

Then he went to the Bamboo Reed Country and the Ghost Realm adjacent to the Sand City, played the local stacking game with the bamboo people in the [Ring Mountain City], and discussed the postpartum care of slugs with the ghosts in the [Black Stone City].

Jianxin traveled between cities that were either rich or special, and finally he went to the Four Kingdoms in the Abyss, and joined the "Old God Society" there.

The biggest feature of this secret society is that it is relaxed and interesting. Everyone gathers together regularly to talk about their various strange experiences and study the old gods as a common hobby.

Everyone chatted about everything while drinking tea and honey wine.

Jianxin liked this kind of gathering where everyone sat together and told stories by the fire.

What he didn't expect was that there were some formal scholars in the "Old God Society", such as Maji, the red-haired potion master of White Castle, who was also one of the sponsors of the organization.

Maji had been a monk in the Abyss for two years, and now he is engaged in potion-related research in White Castle.

The biggest benefit he brought to the "Old God Society" was to provide some delicious Le Tomato Sauce, a rare jam that cannot be bought outside.

"The Old Gods are a special group of gods. They have fallen in name, but their power has not completely disappeared, but exists in a way that we cannot understand for the time being."

Maji said seriously: "I hope you can persist in observing and recording. One day, the veil of the Old Gods will be lifted by us, and you will also go down in history and become heroes of the Yao clan."

For various reasons, neither the seminary nor White Castle has conducted in-depth research on the field of the Old Gods for the time being.

So Maji had high hopes for the "Old Gods Association" and gave a lot of help.

Kenshin originally thought that the power of the Old Gods should be just a rumor. Until he went back to Sand City to visit his father, he personally witnessed the means that only gods have in the desert.

The desert bulged high, as if being pulled into the air by invisible hands, and the sand dunes twisted slowly like water.

From it emerged a wisp of strange black and silver lines, which slowly condensed on the ground like metal earthworms.

Kenshin's magic sword on his back was unsheathed, but he was completely unable to enter that strange area.

[Theology] The power can be sensed, which is the display of divine power and miracles.

After returning, Kenshin shared this experience with the "Old Gods Association".

He also began to believe that the Old Gods may really still be in this world, and they exist in an invisible way.

Since then, Kenshin has been actively collecting intelligence everywhere.

He purchased a [Collector Crystal Phase] and began to take pictures of possible traces of the Old Gods everywhere.

Whether it is a suspicious and special phenomenon, or a strange-shaped rock and tree, or a group of people dressed strangely in secret rituals, Kenshin will freeze it and record it in the crystal phase.

In this process, Kenshin also encountered a lot of troubles. He was often discovered, accused and questioned, but the biggest trouble was women.

Women always appeared in front of him when he was shooting and chatted with him.

From childhood to adulthood, he has been very popular with the opposite sex.

Whether it is the furry war cat clan, the normal Yao clan human girl, the vampire girl, or the tree demon girl, they all favor Kenshin, always ask him about his well-being and smile at him, wanting to make friends with him.

When he was a child, Kenshin felt that this was a completely shameful trouble. It was not a great talent at all, just a handsome appearance.

When he grew up, he gradually reconciled with himself.

His talent was just popular with women.

These female friends also became Kenshin's best source of information. Some of them also became his past girlfriends, or current girlfriends, or future girlfriends.

One day, Jianxin got reliable news from a girlfriend that there were traces of old gods in the Mystic Kingdom.

So he packed his bags and rushed there as fast as he could.

Although the Mystic Kingdom was his ancestral home, Jianxin rarely went there.

Because he didn't like the environment there.

The cities and settlements in the Mystic Kingdom were mostly messy, with poor public security and sanitary conditions. There were drunkards and homeless people everywhere, and from time to time there might be some crazy people who drank secret medicine to play self-destruction and indiscriminate attacks.

In that environment, just being safe every day was a challenge.

It was normal that his father had no feelings for the country after he left.

His girlfriend Ao Shen hugged Jianxin and was reluctant to let go for a long time.

Finally, Jianxin had to push her away firmly: "Let's talk business."

Ao Shen said in a calm tone that was completely different from his passionate body language: "Dragon footprints appeared here."

"Dragon?"

"Yes. A powerful pure dragon, but you can't see its appearance, only huge footprints and claw marks. There are also traces of divine power around it."

Ao Shen said seriously: "To hide a huge and powerful dragon, only gods can do it. The gods of the Mystic Kingdom, from the previous Mystic Star Crow to the current Seven Seas Sirens, have sent apostles to investigate this matter everywhere, but there is no result."

"All I can think of is that it may be related to the old gods. So I thought of you."

"Yeah."

Jianxin trusted Ao Shen's words very much.

Because the girl standing in front of him has two forked horns on her head. She is a dragon descendant, and she is naturally very sensitive to the power and breath of dragons.

"But you have to be very careful."

The dragon girl's face was serious: "Not long ago, the invisible dragon destroyed the headquarters of the "Black Temple". The origin seems to be related to the mysterious Lord of the Temple. There are rumors outside that the holy relics of the Lord of the Temple were lost in the Resurrection Kingdom, causing the Lord of the Temple to be angry and send down the dragon disaster..."

"We performed sacrifices and prayers in the "Four Seas Temple", but we couldn't know the name and response of the dragon. The person who came is not good, it is likely to be the evil dragon god. You have to be extra careful, safety first."

Kenshin nodded: "I will focus on taking crystal photos and will not conflict with the dragon."

"Anyway, I'll take you to the "Four Seas Temple" first and let Dragon Ancestor give you some blessings. With the blessing of God Yao, the protection of the messenger, and Dragon Ancestor, you will be much safer."

Ao Shen took his hand without question and walked towards the coast.

She asked as she walked: "I heard that the holy objects of the altar are in the hands of the Yao clan, is that true?"

"Not sure."

Jianshin said: "This secret is probably only known by the gods and the apostles."
