Chapter 587 Accepting a Mushroom-Headed Guy as a Disciple

The ninth level is the card master's last career change in the human realm, and it is extremely difficult.

And Ji Xun's experience from various classics also shows that the risk of losing control is also extremely high.

Only two out of ten people from the eighth level can successfully advance to the ninth level.

The biggest problem still lies in "transcendence into sainthood".

You must have sufficient control over the laws to ensure that your body can withstand the terrifying extraordinary characteristics of professional cards.

However, Ji Xun's promotion went extremely smoothly.

Far more than any other time.

The various relics in King Augustus's study eliminated all external distortion factors except for their own problems. It is probably difficult to find better external auxiliary conditions in the entire plane.

There are also the best quality professional cards and dynasty luck blessings

It can be said that the material conditions are full.

The most important thing is that after Ji Xun understood the secret of the rules with the help of [Crown of Thorns], his control of the rules almost reached a level that many ninth-level card masters could not reach.

The extraordinary characteristics in the [Dictator] professional card are as violent as wild beasts to humans, but to him, they are as docile and docile as a sheep.

All the best for the promotion.

On this day, in the study room.

Ji Xun has passed the most dangerous moment of his promotion and is meditating to digest the new abilities brought by his promotion.

The extraordinary characteristics of the [Dictator] professional card are sprinkled into the soil of the physical body like nutrients, and new power is flourishing.

[K King Power] is the extraordinary path closest to God among the thirteen card master paths. After Ji Xun was promoted, he clearly felt the extra-dimensional power that had broken away from the human category.

After being promoted eight times before, he felt that the biggest change was the growth of physical attributes. The data on the panel also accurately showed the dramatic increase that could be seen with the naked eye.

But this time it's different.

After truly entering the ninth level, Ji Xun discovered that the biggest change was not in his physical attributes.

It’s a leap in realm.

It's like standing on the top of a mountain, already able to overlook all the extraordinary scenery of mankind.

Looking back, I saw that the winding mountain road was completely clear, it was the road I had walked.

He also understood why the gap between him and King Arthur of Oran was so big before. It is no exaggeration to say that [Dictator] is really a profession with some divine abilities.

But the mountain top is far from the end.

Looking up, there are stars all over the sky.

Ji Xun is full of expectations for the future.

"call"

He exhaled a breath of air, as if all the turbidity in his lungs had been cleared.

Ji Xun stood up and moved his joints, making a clicking sound.

I have barely left the study in the past two months. Now that I have been promoted, I feel refreshed and want to go somewhere.

With the thought coming together, Ji Xun opened the door and walked out.

Walking through the corridor covered with soft carpets, there is a viewing platform.

This location offers a panoramic view of the entire Machinery City.

At this moment, a drawing board was set up on the platform, and a graceful woman in a black skirt was waving a paintbrush to add some color to the canvas.

Ji Xun walked over and took the initiative to say hello: "Senior."

The woman in the black dress turned around and glanced, smiling: "Did you get promoted successfully?"

It was none other than Griffith.

"Um."

Ji Xun saluted and said, "Thank you, senior, for your protection."

The ninth level promotion is very risky and cannot be disturbed.

Of course he knew that this person was always protecting him.

Hearing this, Griffith smiled and didn't care, but said in amazement: "You are the smoothest person I have ever seen promoted to the ninth level. You are also the most special. You have such strength when you first advanced, and you are stronger than me at the beginning. Too much."

"You're honored."

Ji Xun smiled noncommittally.

The aura of the new realm cannot be perfectly restrained, and others cannot see it, but Griffith, who is also at the ninth level, can see it at a glance.

She did not stop painting as she spoke and lit the last light. In an instant, the entire colorful portrait came to life. It was a brightly lit street scene in the Machinery City.

It was obviously an abstract and distorted picture, but Ji Xun saw a strong atmosphere of human fireworks, and the shadowy figures on the canvas seemed to come alive.

I didn't understand this mystery before, but now I know that this senior's realm is really high.

Ji Xun was also surprised and said: "Senior, have you also mastered the power of rules?"

Because he is also proficient in the "Utopian Universe", the exclusive secret method of the [Painter] sequence, he can see that the strange picture in this painting is not just the flow of laws, but an extremely complex space rule, as if depicting a "Small World".

Just like the cataclysmic object [Monet's Sunrise], this painting already possesses extremely strong extraordinary characteristics.

He casually drew a catastrophic object, which was no longer within the reach of humans.

There is only one possibility.

That means the realm of the person in front of me has improved again.

Even to a certain limit.

"Um."

Griffith did not shy away from talking about his own abilities, and having someone understand his paintings is something worth sharing.

Not many people in Donghuang could understand it, but it happened that Ji Xun, who had just advanced in front of him, could.

She continued: "After I went to the Rose Tavern and drank soul wine last time, I had some insights. In recent days, His Majesty's prestige has been getting higher and higher, and with the blessing of the dynasty's luck, that perception has become clear."

As he spoke, the brush in his hand added a few final strokes of light to the canvas, and the brightly lit Mechanical City was right in front of him.

Ji Xun's position happened to be able to see the lively and bustling street scene of Machinery City. When he looked at the oil painting, it seemed that the street scene in front of him was frozen on the screen.

The painting is not just about the mechanical city, but also about the vigorous vitality of returning to peace after war.

Ji Xun looked at Griffith and asked curiously, "Senior, are you going to condense the Godhead?"

Griffith smiled and shook his head, "It's not that easy. There is hope to ignite the divine fire. As for condensing the divine head, you still have to take the path of extraordinary promotion."

Ji Xun has now entered the ninth level, and many secrets of the peak of the extraordinary can be glimpsed. He asked, "What does it feel like to ignite the divine fire?"

Griffith frowned slightly and explained, "Well, it's the sublimation of 'divine power' to another level, and the status of the soul is completely out of the human category."

After a pause, probably organizing the Yi language, she said, "It's probably like, suddenly waking up from a dream, and distinguishing the difference between dreams and reality."

"."

Ji Xun shrugged, not hiding that he didn't understand, and laughed at himself.

That kind of state can only be felt, it's normal not to understand.

Griffith also smiled and didn't explain much.

As the two were chatting, they saw a group of people coming back from outside the mechanical city.

Griffith said, "Your Majesty, they just went to the 'Kapos City' for inspection and are back now."

Ji Xun saw the majestic Chujiu and the mysterious and solemn high priest Nan Jing in the crowd at a glance.

As if they had noticed something, the two women who were about to take the elevator to the mechanical city also saw him and turned their heads to look over.

Ji Xun smiled slightly as they looked at each other. Even from a distance, he could see that the two women had changed a lot.

Except that one was more like a king and the other was more like a high priest, the transformation in temperament was much stronger than a dozen days ago.

Griffith seemed to guess what he was amazed about, and a sparkle flashed in his beautiful eyes, saying, "Your Majesty is most affected by the fortune of the dynasty. The rise of the dynasty is a universal promotion ceremony for the royal power sequence. Her current realm, even I can't understand it."

Ji Xun was also very curious after listening. He hadn't seen them for several days, and he was also very curious about the changes in the two.

As he said that, he said goodbye, "Then you go on with your work. I'll go down and take a look."

"Yes."

Griffith smiled gently.

"Taren Mechanical City" is the largest and most luxurious mechanical city in the East Wilderness, as high as fifty floors.

Ji Xun took the elevator to the middle city of the mechanical city.

This is the residential area, with lively taverns and various shops.

The places that were damaged in the previous war have been completely repaired, and some unique logos of the new king Chujiu have been added.

The mechanical city, which represents the royal family, is of course extremely luxurious. Most of the steel structure parts on the street have been replaced with brass, which is golden under the lights; various precious flowers and trees are in full bloom in spring; the streets are crowded with people, and people's faces are filled with the stability and happiness brought by peace.

Ji Xun walked around the street.

He found that if he didn't want to be seen now, standing on the street was like blending into the street scene, and no one would really notice him.

Ji Xun looked at the lively street scene and was a little surprised.

In the topics of casual chat among passers-by, their praise and support for "His Majesty Chujiu" came from the heart.

This is completely different from the feeling before.

When Ji Xun traveled here, it was the period of the federal regime. Later, he experienced the restoration of Orlan and went to the southern continent to see the primitive lord society.

But no matter which system it is, it gives people a kind of ancient and decadent atmosphere like a pool of stagnant water.

However, in front of him, Ji Xun saw a brand new and vibrant feeling.

He knew that this was the change brought about by Chujiu's series of new policies.

Not to mention how big the changes are, there is a momentum to break all the shackles of the ancient system, as if the dawn of the future card master civilization can be seen.

Seeing this, Ji Xun couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Chujiu is really an excellent king"

Walking, the communicator rang, it was a message from Miss Wanzitou.

After Chujiu and Nanjing came back, they also had government affairs to deal with. They couldn't get away for the time being, so they made an appointment for lunch.

Ji Xun had nothing to do, so he wandered around the mechanical city, feeling the "world" while walking.

After this promotion, he felt particularly clear, and the world in his eyes was very different from what he saw before.

Looking at the various people in the mechanical city, for the first time, he felt like watching a movie, and separated himself from reality from the perspective of an "observer".

In that state, the power of the law that he could not see before was clearer than ever before in his eyes.

The breeze, mist, fire, flowers, trees, steel. These things that can be seen everywhere are the manifestations of the laws of the universe in the human vision.

In the past, you had to think carefully to perceive them, but now they are clear in your eyes.

Thinking about it, I was a little absent-minded, and I didn't know how long it had been.

Ji Xun then found that someone patted his shoulder, and heard a happy whisper beside his ear: "What are you thinking about, so absent-minded?"

Looking back, Nan Jing's cute face was close to his ear, blinking his crystal eyes and looking at him.

"I thought about some flow problems of the laws of the universe"

Ji Xun smiled, and then he came back to his senses from that wandering state, and found that he had been sitting in the box of the high-rise restaurant for a long time.

Nan Jing rubbed his face affectionately, pulled out a chair and sat next to him.

Chujiu sat opposite.

Little Ivan lay on her head.

Chujiu was the one feeding him these days, and the little guy also stuck to her.

This is a restaurant for the public, without the complicated procedures in the palace.

The three of them were just like they were eating every day, without any restraint, ordered food, and started chatting.

The two women were also very curious about Ji Xun's changes after his promotion, and talked about some things about cultivation.

Ji Xun was also very surprised by the changes in the two women.

As Griffith said before, with the blessing of the dynasty's luck, Chu Jiu and Nan Jing's realms were very high, a little unusual.

The inheritance of the two was special, so it was not surprising.

After chatting for a while, Chu Jiu, who had not spoken like this, seemed to think of something and said, "By the way. There is someone you may be very interested in."

"Who?"

Ji Xun was a little confused. If it was an acquaintance, he would not need someone to help pass the message.

If it was a stranger, he would not let the king pass the message.

Chu Jiu seemed to want to explain, but after a pause, he swallowed the words on his lips, "Well, you will know when you see it later."

As he said that, he raised his hand, and the female official not far away saw it and immediately understood and retreated. She added: "I met him when I visited Rocks City. He should be in the library now. I asked him to come over."

Ji Xun was also curious after hearing this.

Who deserves such a formal introduction from Chujiu.

The three chatted for a while, and soon they heard footsteps outside.

The hurried footsteps sounded like a reckless guy.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The door opened and the female official walked in.

A short boy walked out behind her.

He was wearing an old suit, and probably for etiquette, he temporarily put on a hat that didn't match his clothes at all.

This outfit was obviously a bit old for his age.

After entering the door, Ji Xun didn't even see his face clearly, and this guy took off his hat and bowed: "Meet His Majesty, Lord Nan."

Chujiu nodded, "No need to be polite."

She spoke, and the boy dared to look up.

Standing up, people could see his appearance clearly.

He was about 11 or 12 years old, with a childish mushroom-shaped head.

The inferior brass glasses on his nose were half broken, and the frames were repaired with tape; his suit was washed and white, and there were patches; half of the paper with handwriting like graffiti was exposed in his pocket, and there was ink on his hands that seemed to have just been rubbed and smeared everywhere.

At first glance, he looked like a child from the poor class.

It was the first time for him to come to such a high-end restaurant, and he was summoned by His Majesty the King. The boy seemed a little at a loss.

He didn't dare to look directly at the three people in front of him, and looked around with his peripheral vision.

But in his clear eyes, in addition to curiosity and uneasiness, there was also a kind of emptiness that seemed to be filled with endless curiosity.

However, it was just such an ordinary boy. When Ji Xun saw him for the first time, his pupils trembled violently.

Chujiu knew why he was so surprised, and said, "His name is 'Darcy'. I didn't know he existed before. I met him in the orphanage. He said he was a refugee from the war, and no one knew his origins."

"."

Ji Xun listened without saying anything, but he understood it completely.

Some things, if one more person knows, there will be one more cause and effect, and one more flaw that can be traced.

He was sure that this was not Jia Yu.

But it must be the backhand left by the mushroom head.

Jia Yu died, and he left his successor.

In an instant, Ji Xun's mind appeared, and the depression of losing a friend in his heart seemed to dissipate immediately. The corners of his mouth slightly raised an arc, and he muttered in his heart: "That guy is really good at tricks."

No wonder every time Jia Yu came to entrust his orphan, he said that if he died, he would let him help take care of the successor of the Light Chaser lineage.

Ji Xun was very confused before. The inheritance of the Light Chaser lineage is not something that ordinary people can afford. Not to mention that it is rare in a thousand years, at least it may not be possible to find a suitable one in a hundred years.

But Jia Yu was so sure, as if he was sure that someone could inherit the Light Chaser's legacy.

Now, Ji Xun understood, that was how it was.

Old man Xu used active amnesia to avoid those taboo secrets.

And the Light Chaser used death to avoid it?

One died, and then arranged a successor who cut off the cause and effect for himself. Repeatedly.

Ji Xun even had a more extreme idea in his mind: "No. Light Chaser has always been one person, right?"

Or, a legacy.

The boy in front of him was not only a doppelganger described in a novel, but also a kind of existence that Ji Xun could not fully understand now.

After Chujiu's introduction, Ji Xun fell into thinking and did not speak. A pin drop in the private room could be heard.

The boy named "Darcy" in front of him lowered his head and did not dare to look at what happened, nor did he understand why the big man in front of him would stare at him.

After all, he was a teenager, he was a little nervous, and his hand holding the corner of his clothes trembled slightly.

Ji Xun saw it and smiled kindly, "Darcy, do you like playing chess?"

The boy raised his head and saw Ji Xun's face for the first time, "Yes, sir. How did you know?"

Ji Xun pointed to the notebook in his pocket, which recorded the chess game.

The boy realized that he came too hastily and was not well dressed, so he quickly stuffed the notebook into his pocket.

Ji Xun smiled and didn't mind.

Just a glance at the corner, he knew it was a classic endgame, and he asked casually: "I am holding the white chess, and the bishop moves diagonally, how do you deal with it?"

The young man didn't know why this adult would talk to him about chess, but his mind started to work instinctively: "I will protect the king and move the queen."

Ji Xun: "My next step is to play Forbidden Army Chess."

Young man: "I"

Take two steps.

That's pretty much the endgame.

Ji Xun suddenly smiled knowingly and asked, "Why don't you retreat the 'chariot' to avoid losses?"

The young man didn't think much and replied: "Because if you don't give up the chariot, you will kill my 'bishop' in seven steps. Then you will use the 'praetorian guard' that has been ambushed for a long time. Three moves at most, and I’m dead.”

"."

Hearing this, Ji Xun smiled.

This guy really looks exactly like that mushroom head.

Of course Ji Xun saw all the solutions to the entire chess game from the beginning.

But that's him!

A ninth-level card master with extremely high attainments in the secret technique of "I am the world"!

But the young man in front of him, who did not have any fluctuations in spell power, was able to achieve this level, and his talent was already overflowing visibly to the naked eye.

The young man didn't understand why the adult in front of him was laughing, but it didn't sound oppressive, so he looked over boldly.

He happened to look at Ji Xun and asked himself: "Darcy, are you willing to be my disciple?"

Hearing this, the young man's mind seemed to be struck by thunder, and he obviously didn't react.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked at His Majesty the King and Mr. Nan, who also had gentle smiles on their faces, and instantly understood something, and a look of flattered joy immediately appeared on their faces.

The young man was a little at a loss, so he quickly bowed respectfully and stammered in response: "I, I am willing!"

Ji Xun looked at the mushroom head in front of him, a happy smile appeared in the corners of his eyes.

Suddenly it seemed like the shadow of an old friend overlapped.

A new causal line is implicated.

Half a month later.

Black Gold City is the largest city-state in the western part of Wadona County and the largest high-burning coal mining area in the entire federation.

This used to be the headquarters of the Song family.

There is also a beautiful manor full of roses.

On this day, Ji Xun, wearing a white suit, strolled into the manor.

After a hundred years of separation, he once again returned to this familiar place where things and people had changed.
