Chapter 454 Royal Academy Admission Day

"What? The person has been captured?"

"Hahaha, he hasn't been found yet?"

"Hahaha, reward! Big reward!"

"."

Ji Xun and the other six returned to the hotel smoothly.

When Sack learned that they had captured the scarred man in the black market alive, the young master of the Landon family was extremely excited.

At the same time, he also had a higher opinion of the loyalty, decisiveness and wisdom of the six guards.

Young Master Sack really cares about the relics of the emperor.

But face is more important.

He was humiliated by his rival Feren in the black market before, which not only brought shame to him, but also to the honor of the Landon family.

Sack knew that he was not right in this matter, and he had to swallow his anger.

Unexpectedly, things turned around so quickly.

It's not that Sack didn't think about revenge, but he was obviously not right. If he really ordered revenge again, it would spread out that he would not only fail to save his face, but also be ridiculed in the noble circle.

The pride of the Dragonborn prevented him from making such a decision that would bring more shame to the family.

However, now, several loyal and considerate guards have perfectly solved this problem!

They accurately figured out his thoughts and acted decisively.

So decisive that when he was still trying to figure out how to save face, the six people had already saved face.

More importantly, his men are doing a clean job now and have not left any handle for the enemy.

Even if the matter is exposed in the future, Sack dares to pat his chest and say that it was not his instruction.

The pent-up bad air in his heart was swept away when he got the news.

And because of this action, Ji Xun and the other six not only received the recognition of Young Master Sack, but also received a large reward.

Sack gave the dagger worth 100,000 gold coins bought at the Adventurer's Market as a reward to Gale, Gang Duoduo got a shield, Zhuo Sha got a relic robe, and Seri got an ancient dragon magic book.

Although Ji Xun looked down on these things, for low-level card masters, these relics are even related to life.

In the early stage of the card master, equipment and spell cards have a decisive improvement on combat effectiveness.

Several reward relics have doubled the strength of the team.

Originally, those things were not necessarily obtained by the veteran knights of the Duke's Mansion according to their merits.

Now Young Master Sack directly rewarded several reserve knights.

This is already a surprise.

However, Ji Xun did not ask for anything else, but only got the two elemental elves he bought before.

Young masters of Sack's level cannot raise this thing to maturity, and in the eyes of others, he only cashed it in.

But no one said anything.

This is Young Master Sack's reward.

As for the information about the earth relics in the hands of the scarred man, Ji Xun did not pay much attention to it.

The person was handed over to Young Master Sack, and there would naturally be masters in the Duke's Mansion who would figure out the information.

As for exploring and searching for treasures in the Warcraft Forest, professional adventurers are more professional.

Now that this information is known to come from the Duke Simon's family, perhaps more people know it.

There will inevitably be major conflicts during the exploration process when many families are fighting.

Ji Xun was not interested in wasting energy to ponder the news that had not been revealed.

He thought that it would not be too late to consider it after the Great Emperor's relics appeared in the world.

Besides, he always felt that there was something wrong with the sudden news of the Great Emperor's relics.

It seemed that there was a big hand stirring in the dark behind the scenes.

Ji Xun thought about the bizarre incident of the Pope's assassination again, and always felt that this method was a bit familiar.

Although the dragons were cunning, they preferred to solve problems by force, so that the dragon descendants of the southern continent did not seem to like to play any too profound conspiracy.

But in the East Wilderness, Ji Xun had experienced it many times.

That sense of familiarity came naturally.

The next day, in an adventurer's hotel in Juling City.

Ji Xun's original body rented a room here.

At this moment, a birdcage was placed in front of him.

Opening the black cloth, there were two colorful elves sitting listlessly on the cushion.

This was the [Elemental Elves] obtained by the clone.

The two elves looked at Ji Xun, their eyes were already full of numbness.

They have been resold many times by humans these days. Every time they see a new face, it means that they have been trafficked once.

Their companions have become fewer and fewer, and in the end, the two of them could not escape such a fate.

And that greedy look made the elves, who naturally like beautiful things, feel very uncomfortable.

Although this time is different.

But this makes them no longer have any good feelings towards humans.

Ji Xun carefully observed the two elves in the cage and was also surprised.

It was the first time he saw this mythical creature that only appeared in the classics, and he couldn't hide his incredibleness.

And when he clearly sensed the elemental fluctuations on the two elves that seemed to be the embodiment of the law, he felt more and more impressed by the magic of the Creator.

Because it happened that Ji Xun had this feeling on another item.

That is the mysterious symbol representing the law of the universe - the Rune.

And the two elemental elves in front of him are like living elemental runes.

Although they are all seven-color full elements, Ji Xun also clearly sensed that one of them is more water-based and the other is more wood-based.

"Could it be that it is a creature transformed from an element?"

The more Ji Xun looked at it, the more magical it felt.

There were not many legends recorded in the classics, but the goat had said before that mature elemental elves were the favorites of the great magicians in ancient times.

Now that he had it, Ji Xun of course planned to try to cultivate it.

The elements of Giant Spirit City are already very rich for humans, but for the two elves, it is completely a barren land.

Their spirits are sluggish.

It's like a fish out of water. Although it can still live for a while, it won't live long.

Seeing this, Ji Xun took out two magic cores to replace the original magic core in the cage.

Just like changing the water in the fish tank, the two elves became a little lively.

If you want the two elves to become companion spirit pets, you must first make them willing to sign a contract.

Elvish language, like Dragon language, belongs to the advanced language system that can embody the law.

No one knows this lost mythological language.

Fortunately, Ji Xun can use mental power to communicate spells [Language General Knowledge].

He tried to express his thoughts with mental power: "I hope you can become my companion spirit pets. If you are willing, we can sign an equal contract. I will give you an environment suitable for survival, and I will not force you to do anything. When you think it is appropriate, you can leave at any time. Of course, you need to exchange the equivalent of what I have paid for you."

As he said, he took out a parchment scroll.

Then he wrote down the contents of the contract in Talengu and Dragon language, and then engraved it again with his mental power.

Normally, the contracts signed with pets are symbiotic contracts.

This will ensure that the pets are loyal to their owners as much as possible, and can also drive the pets to do things.

But Ji Xun used an equal contract.

First, because Ji Xun now understands the power of God, he has an accurate understanding of higher creatures.

For higher life such as elemental elves, the best way to get along is to respect each other, otherwise there will be hidden dangers in the future.

Also, for Ji Xun, it would be better if these two elemental elves were really as the legend said, and it doesn't matter if they are not.

He himself has an instinctive kindness towards the beautiful things in the universe.

At the end of the contract, Ji Xun said again: "If you don't want to, I will let you go free."

After that, regardless of whether the other party understood it or not, he directly opened the birdcage.

The two elves looked at the open prison door and were stunned for a moment, but soon they reacted and flew out in panic.

After being locked up for so long, they have long hated the cage that imprisoned them.

Their first reaction was to fly to the window and try to escape.

But as soon as they got to the window, they were frightened back by the crowds of people on the street and the turbid air.

Ji Xun was not in a hurry, with a calm expression on his face.

He never thought of stopping them from flying away.

If they really wanted to run away, they would just think of it as losing 200,000 gold coins.

For him, it was not a big problem.

It is said that the intelligence of young elemental elves is not high, but they have the natural instinct to distinguish between good and evil.

They seemed to see that the human in front of them really had no ill intentions.

It was impossible to escape now.

This was a human city, and they would be caught immediately if they flew out.

Compared with the greedy faces they had seen before, the two elves felt that the human in front of them was more friendly.

Ji Xun was afraid that they didn't understand, so he continued to express his thoughts with his mental power, and pointed to the contract that had just been written on the table.

After hesitating for a long time, it seemed that they understood, and the two elves landed on the table with their tired wings flashing.

One of the green-haired ones looked at Ji Xun with her green crystal eyes, as if trying to identify something.

Ji Xun also smiled at them.

It must be said that the elves are really the darlings of the Creator.

If they were not only the size of a thumb, their appearance would definitely be considered stunning among humans.

The two elves did not quite understand the rules of the human world, but they also roughly understood what Ji Xun meant.

The content of the equal contract was that as long as they paid an equal price, they could "redeem" themselves and leave at any time.

The two elves lay on the parchment scroll that was bigger than their bed and read it carefully.

Ji Xun saw that they were interested in the contract, and he did not rush to urge them. He picked up the classics that he had just bought from the market and read it by himself.

At the same time, seeing that the two elves were listless like dehydrated fish, he took out two more magic beast crystal cores.

The two elves felt that it was not good, but they could not refuse.

Without the elemental energy in the crystal core, they felt that they would die.

About a quarter of an hour later.

No one spoke in the room.

Ji Xun was reading the book, and the elf was reading the contract.

But suddenly, something unexpected happened.

Ji Xun heard a voice beside him as if it was an illusion: "Human, can you really do what you said in the contract?"

This elf can actually speak?

And the voice is very pleasant and melodious!

Ji Xun instinctively asked curiously: "Can you speak human language?"

He was not surprised that the elves could speak, but that what they said just now was the Taren language commonly used in the southern continent.

This shows that the legend in the black market that elemental elves are not very intelligent and are dumb is of course false.

They just don't want to communicate with humans.

Although the green-haired elf was not very proficient, he also explained in the Taren language that sounded like plastic spoken language: "Your human language is very simple."

These days, he has been resold by humans and has heard too many human exchanges, so he has learned it a long time ago.

Ji Xun also suddenly understood after listening.

Higher life forms are different from humans. Things like language learning, which are difficult for ordinary people, are not difficult for them.

That's right!

As advanced life forms, the wisdom of elves, even in their infancy, is absolutely incomparable to that of humans.

But then again, I can learn Elvish, right?

Ji Xun had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and suddenly he felt like he had really found a treasure.

Being able to communicate would make things much easier.

He said directly: "Yes. What is written in the contract means I will definitely abide by it."

The terms of the contract were very broad, and thinking of the tragic experience of being trafficked before, the green-haired elf was not so resistant. But she was still a little embarrassed, and asked hesitantly: "Then can you send us back to the forest. At that time, I will also exchange you with equal rewards. For example, give you some gold and gems that you humans like."

The elf world is not as complicated as humans, but these days they have also understood some human behaviors.

For example, trading, and coins.

They know that they need something equal in exchange for freedom.

Ji Xun also agreed: "Of course. But not now. The forest you are in is very dangerous for humans, and I can't go there for the time being. But as written in the contract, I will abide by our agreement."

The words are true.

But I will definitely not let you go now.

Now that he found that the two elves were smarter than he thought, he became more curious about this mythical creature.

And in the causal line deduced by Ji Xun, these are not just two elves.

Mythical races, the fate line involved, that is a myth!

There is a very important deduction basis in the secret method of the world, that is "cause and effect".

There is a cause.

Then there is a result.

Only with enough contact, Ji Xun can really have the possibility of contacting the "myth" of this world.

After listening to Ji Xun's words, the two elves bargained for a while, and finally recognized the reality: they could only sign a contract first.

Fortunately, they understood the content of the contract and did not object.

Ji Xun knew why the merchants in the black market said that it was difficult for the elves to sign a contract.

They are not less intelligent than humans.

Not to mention that they are higher races, that is a status gap derived from blood.

Just like humans, how can they be willing to be treated as pets by wild beasts?

Finally, after the two elves made up their minds, they signed their names on the parchment.

Ji Xun couldn't understand the words that looked like a flower, and only saw the laws shining on the lines of the words.

The contract was signed, and the magic circle lit up.

Ji Xun asked again: "By the way, what are your names?"

The green-haired elf responded: "My name is 'Kora'."

The one with a little gold hair said: "My name is 'Nina'."

"Your name is 'Jixun', right? Human names are really strange."

Kora was obviously more talkative. She looked at the name on the contract, murmured, and then said truthfully: "But sir, your contract says that you will try your best to meet our survival needs. That's very presumptuous to tell you that your human living environment is too bad for our elves, especially the lack of natural elements is like a desert. This is not a problem that can be solved by some magic cores. These days, we are very uncomfortable."

Those black market merchants and mercenaries will not waste too many high-level magic cores on them.

Although they signed the contract, they did not completely trust a human who captured them.

The elf also half-believed and half-doubtedly told a human what he thought.

At this point, Korra was afraid that Ji Xun didn't understand, so she gave another analogy: "Without elemental supply, it's like you humans are hungry every day. If there are not enough elemental sources, our bodies may collapse."

"."

Ji Xun understood.

He smiled and took out two fourth-level magic cores.

The two elves looked slightly different, as if they had changed to a larger fish tank, and their breathing became a little smoother.

But they could not hide their disappointment. Korra glanced at Ji Xun's expression and said timidly: "I saw it in your black market merchant's shop before. I know this is already a very advanced magic core. But please allow me to state the facts. If you just want to rely on these magic cores to maintain our daily needs, you may need a lot of them. Because this can barely maintain the operation of the elements in our body. If we stay in the city for a long time, we will need at least three a day. If you want us to grow, we need more. Even many times. Not only that, we also need spiritual power crystal cores, so that we can better understand the natural elements."

The elves have a kind of elegance, even communication is very comfortable to listen to.

But the cognition of the elves is very different from that of humans.

This paragraph is very complicated.

Some words are also used differently from human habits.

But Ji Xun guessed and deduced, and roughly understood it.

He raised his eyebrows.

Before, he was wondering how much money it would cost to raise this pair of elves, which would make the nobles feel luxurious.

Now he heard it, it was indeed a lot.

These two fourth-level magic cores are worth tens of thousands of gold coins in the market. Is that a normal amount of money needed in a day?

If you want to cultivate them to maturity, you need to spend 100,000 or 200,000 gold coins a day?

It’s not an exaggeration to say that these two little guys are a “gold-spending den”.

And there is no guarantee that they can be raised to maturity.

If it were someone else, without some family background, they would not dare to think about raising elves.

Unfortunately, Ji Xun’s family background is good.

Although it is painful, at least it can be afforded for a long time.

And he also heard the thoughts of the two elves wanting to return to the forest, and said with a smile: "Don't worry. I will try my best to meet your daily needs in accordance with the contract. If I can't do it, I will send you back to the forest as soon as possible. ”

"Um."

The two elves had a hint of expectation after listening to their expressions.

They thought that this human being would most likely send them back because he could not support their consumption.

However, Ji Xun was thinking of something else.

The reason for signing an equality contract before was not just because it was the only contract that the elves would accept.

There is another level of consideration, which is the "equivalent exchange" clause.

The more I give now, it means that if I really cannot afford to support these two little guys, if they want to redeem themselves in the future, they should get back everything they have given, right?

And as a mythical race, there should always be something good in the family.

As long as the two elves don't have any accidents, this business will definitely make a profit.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun didn't care about consumption at all.

However, high-level magic core is not only valuable, but more importantly, it is also a strategic material, which is a necessary material for many high-level cards.

Ji Xun didn't intend to waste it like this.

He had already thought of something, so he took out two pottery pots with spells.

In the blink of an eye, the elements near the pot became intense.

Although the [Useless Clay Pot] was used to seal the outer gods, for Ji Xun, this was just an auxiliary relic used for practice.

As soon as the jar is taken out and restricted by the restriction, the concentration of elements in the room will be at least ten times higher than before.

The two elves were also surprised when they looked at it. Cora said in surprise: "Hey, you humans actually have such a thing?"

Although I have seen some extraordinary objects in the human world these days, this is the first time I have experienced such a magical object.

The greatest advantage of human beings is that they are good at making tools. Ji Xun could understand why they were surprised and just smiled and said: "Yeah. What do you think now?"

There is one thing in the contract, that is, each other must keep each other's secrets.

Jars and other things are not afraid of being exposed.

Besides, Ji Xun felt that as long as he was alive, these two elves would not be exposed.

Korra sensed the increasingly dense elements around her and said, "Yes. Although it is worse than the elements in the forest, it is enough."

When Ji Xun heard this, he said, "That's good."

At the same time, he remembered this in his mind. Is this level of elements similar to those in the forest?

The elements of the Southern Continent were so rich that it already surprised Ji Xun. Why on earth does the place where they live have such strong elements?

Is it a relic of the Great Emperor, or is it for other reasons?

In this way, they can barely meet their daily needs.

Ji Xun also thinks

But it's not over yet.

At this time, Ji Xun took out a moon. The soft moonlight contained strong mental pollution, making the whole room brighten instantly.

Elemental elves also need mental power to grow, which is a necessary condition for them to understand the laws of more advanced elements.

The elemental magic core is not too expensive, but the price of the mental power magic core is more than ten times that of the ordinary elemental magic core.

And it’s not easy to buy.

Ji Xun didn't think he could take care of him for long.

He had high hopes for this [Moon], which could leak out mental pollution all the time. If it can really be used to cultivate elves, it can save a lot of money.

But the only trouble is that the moon's spiritual power is polluting to ordinary humans.

I don’t know what to do with the elves.

As soon as the moon appeared, the two elves looked surprised again. They were all surprised: "Huh? What is this? Why do I feel that it exudes a very gentle spiritual power."

"This seems to be the moon in the 'moon well' on the mural of the clan's ancestral land? I feel a familiar power."

"Human beings are really incredible. There are all kinds of weird tools, but there are also items with such magical power."

"The patriarch said that humans are very cunning, even more cunning than dragons."

"Yeah. We have to be careful all the time."

"He couldn't understand what we were saying anyway."

"."

Ji Xun listened to the two elves talking about something.

They didn't understand, but it seemed like they didn't feel any discomfort.

Ji Xun also breathed a sigh of relief.

He remembered that he once communicated with Master Merlin that the so-called extraordinary pollution actually means that the body is too weak and cannot withstand too high extraordinary energy.

Moreover, higher races have their own faith immunity.

[Elemental Elves] are a pure-blooded advanced race, and it is almost impossible for their faith to be contaminated by alien gods.

Ji Xun had speculated like this before, and that's when he came up with the idea of ​​raising elves.

But in order to confirm the risk, he still said truthfully: "Um, Korra and Nina, do you think such a spiritual field is suitable? What I mean is, there is some contamination of the faith of the outer gods in this relic, will it have any impact on you? Influence?"

Cora explained: "Of course not! We, the elves, believe in the goddess of nature, and we must not be contaminated by other gods."

As she spoke, she added: "Well, this Mr. Ji Xun, although I don't know how you came to have such a magical thing, for us elves, this soft spiritual field is the best Thank you for your contribution.”

At this moment, I finally don’t have to worry about dying all the time.

At this moment, they truly believed in the ability of the human being in front of them to fulfill the contract.

But their innocence did not realize that they were gradually becoming less repulsive to the human in front of them.

Ji Xun listened and smiled, saying, "That's good. If you need anything else, just tell me directly."

The moon and the jar can be used, which meets the most important survival conditions of the elves.

He is also increasingly looking forward to whether he can be cultivated in the future.

Ji Xun stays in the hotel to practice every day.

At such a close distance, the knowledge of the clone is what the original body sees.

Since the last black market incident, the "Su Lun" team has completely gained the trust of the young master Sak, and they take him wherever they go.

Their daily work is to accompany the young master to visit auction houses, clubs, and various high-end places in the aristocratic circle to try new things.

The rare resources and intelligence that the top nobles can access are much easier than ordinary people. Ji Xun also took the opportunity to learn more about the Giant Spirit City, the Royal Academy, and the Warcraft Forest.

Although Ji Xun's original body did not go out of the hotel, he knew a lot of intelligence.

He also deliberately paid attention to some information.

The news of the Pope's assassination seemed to have suddenly stopped, and there was no news about Xie Guozhong;

However, there was more and more information about the Great Emperor's relics. There were more and more legends among the adventurers. Even in the Royal Academy, it was heard that several students from the noble families had obtained the Curse God Card.

A large number of ancient relics of a certain era also appeared in the Adventurer's Market, which also attracted more adventurers to the depths of the forest.

There are many ancient relics buried in the Warcraft Forest, and they are discovered in waves like waves.

Adventurers in the southern continent are no longer surprised.

But Ji Xun always felt that there seemed to be something wrong behind the appearance of such a large number of Great Emperor's relics.

However, without enough information to support the deduction, he was not sure whether that feeling was right.

Ten days passed in a flash.

It was the day when the Royal Academy of Arel opened.

Ji Xun and other reserve knights followed Young Master Sak and were about to start a long period of study in the future.
