Chapter 187: Fragments of Authority
"8741 kinds of extraordinary bloodlines for me to choose from, this is really a huge temptation."
"Since Lord Milton is so sincere, I will accept this gift with pleasure."
"I will definitely live up to the trust of the Federation and fight on the front line against the demons."
Chen Qi was really overwhelmed by Milton's gift. He was grateful for the gift, so his current position was naturally consistent with the Nulis Federation.
Compared with Milton's generosity, the two Sun Kings before should really feel ashamed.
"Red Heart 7, I came here this time not only to escort this gift, but also to answer your questions!"
"With your current strength, you are qualified to know everything in the King's Game."
"If you have any doubts, just ask them."
Helping Chen Qi understand the inside story of the King's Game was the first instruction Milton gave to Amanda.
Amanda, who had already given up the autonomy of the game, could only serve as the "old village chief" for Chen Qi, a novice player.
······
"The Federation is really open-minded. Brother Milton has treated me well. He is worthy of being a timely rain."
"Can I ask any questions?"
Chen Qi has a lot of questions about the origin of the game, the realm of law, and LV6.
There is no way, after all, he has only joined the game for less than a year.
And Milton, a bystander, obviously realized this shortcoming of Chen Qi and immediately helped him to make up for it.
There is a reason why Milton can gain the trust of the Tongtian Empire.
"I said, any question is fine."
"Even if I can't answer, there is still an empire behind the Federation!"
Amanda is extremely confident that there is nothing he doesn't know in the game.
This is the foundation of the Federation's decades of deep cultivation in the game.
Chen Qi saw that this guy was so straightforward, so he naturally wouldn't indulge him.
"My first question is, how did Gutav turn the Black Death Prison into the King's Game?"
"At that time, he should have been just a mortal."
This question has been bothering Chen Qi. If he doesn't figure this out, he can't see the truth of the King's Game at all.
The Nulis Federation witnessed the birth and development of the King's Game, and they definitely know the answer.
······
"I only know part of the answer to this question."
"But it is enough to explain the birth of the game."
"You don't need to worry about more things."
The moment Chen Qi asked the question about the origin of the game, Amanda's confidence was a little less.
He only had a half-understanding of this question.
Fortunately, it was enough to deal with the 7 of Hearts, otherwise what he said just now would be bragging?
"The reason why Gutav was able to come out of the Black Death Prison alive and even become the president of the Blue Taro Kingdom later was that he obtained a magical thing."
"That thing can make him realize three wishes for free."
"He used his last wish to create the King's Game."
"You don't have to worry about what that thing is? I don't know either."
"But you can rest assured that after the three wishes are used up, Gutav can no longer make a wish again."
"What I know comes from the Empire, and the authenticity is beyond doubt."
Amanda casually talked about the inside story she knew, and Chen Qi listened very patiently and behaved very casually.
Amanda was quite satisfied with this, and this young man really had a big heart.
When the Sun King and others knew about this matter, they were not as calm as the one in front of them.
Just for this calm and self-confident demeanor, Amanda felt that she needed to look at the 7 of Hearts more highly.
However, what Amanda didn't know was that when Chen Qi heard "three wishes can be realized for free", his heart almost jumped out.
Fortunately, he had a very precise control over his body, so Amanda didn't notice anything unusual.
······
"Fuck, why does the thing Amanda described sound so familiar?"
"Could it be the bronze dice I have now?"
"Well, it's probably the one."
"After all, how can there be so many coincidences in something like being able to fulfill three wishes for free?"
Chen Qi looked calm, but his brain was in a mess.
He really didn't expect that Gutafu was also a wisher.
When Chen Qi watched the short video before, those wishers were either from a long time ago or from other races.
Perhaps because he was too distant, there was no sense of shock at all.
But now, in reality, he found another wisher next to him.
The shock was too strong.
"Did Gutafu notice that the bronze dice fell into my hands?"
This question was rejected by Chen Qi as soon as it was born.
If he was really discovered, Gutafu would have come to rob him long ago.
If he delays for one more second, it means that Gutaf has a problem with his brain.
Anyway, if Chen Qi finds the next wisher, he will definitely not be able to resist making three more wishes.
It is really a good thing that the wish can be fulfilled for free.
······
"The Empire should know what that thing is, right?"
"It is amazing that it can make people fulfill three wishes for free."
"It seems that I have one more reason to kill the devil."
In order to show human nature, Chen Qi once again showed his acting skills at the level of an actor.
His face was calm, but greed flashed in his eyes from time to time.
Amanda was not surprised at all. If there was no greed in the eyes of the 7 of Hearts, he would have doubted whether this guy was human.
"If you want to snatch that treasure from the devil, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
"Although the lord of the empire didn't say it clearly, that thing should have disappeared after using up the three wishes."
"But we know exactly what that thing is from Gutav."
"We can work together on this matter."
Amanda was also extremely greedy for the "wishes", while Chen Qi's face was full of regret after hearing that the treasure was no longer in the hands of the devil.
Then he accepted Amanda's suggestion to join forces and must force the truth from the mouth of the demon Gutav.
······
"Amanda, what happened in your previous battle against the devil?"
"You should have figured out what the devil is capable of!"
This is Chen Qi's second question. Although it is a bit unkind to expose someone's wounds, Chen Qi believes that Amanda will give him a satisfactory answer.
Sure enough, when Chen Qi asked about the previous battle, Amanda looked a little embarrassed.
But this question has long been on his must-answer list, and the fact that the 7 of Hearts would ask this question did not surprise him at all.
"The specific details of that battle are a bit complicated."
"This involves the relationship between the apostles."
"All along, Akinode and Club King have been performing like fire and water."
"I didn't expect the two of them to join forces secretly."
"As a result, Zhou Zongquan was accidentally killed by the demon transformed by Yu Wenyong."
"I was also attacked by those two bitches and was slightly injured."
"Since the promotion of a demon hunter requires refining the demonic aura, the demon Yu Wenyong transformed into can basically be regarded as a reduced version of King Gutafu."
"We did obtain detailed information about the devil from that battle."
"Gutav's demonic abilities should be of three types."
"The first ability is of course verbal seduction, which is also what he uses most."
"The second ability is demonic light waves, which can attack people's consciousness and amplify certain human emotions."
"As for the third ability, it can awaken human beings' shadows and let the shadows bite back on human beings."
"This ability should be related to the devil's eye."
This time Amanda told everything she knew.
After all, this issue is related to whether the devil can be killed, which was emphasized by Milton.
"Are these three abilities the only ones?"
"Consciousness attacks are indeed a bit restrained for ordinary players."
To be honest, these three abilities of the devil really disappointed Chen Qi.
He originally thought that the devil had some means of killing him with one strike.
With Chen Qi's current spirituality of 83 points, he is almost immune to the temptation of words.
Chen Qi believes that he can prevent the demonic light waves that can amplify human emotions with his enchantment skills.
The only thing that's a bit weird is the shadow backlash.
Amanda said that this ability was related to the devil's eye, but Chen Qi had a vague guess.
Demons boast that their eyes can see the soul, but all they can see is the projection of the soul in the three-dimensional world.
The so-called shadow backlash should be related to soul projection.
This is a bit beyond Chen Qi's understanding, and he doesn't know whether the barrier technique can be used to defend against it.
After knowing these three abilities of Guta, Chen Qi can understand why Yu-Gi-Oh is confident that he can kill the devil.
This guy is a digital being with no soul, and his emotions are just some kind of consciousness algorithm. He is almost naturally immune to all the demon's abilities.
It would be strange if you don’t have confidence.
······
"Seven of Hearts, isn't it enough for a demon to have three abilities?"
"Young people should not be too arrogant."
"In our last battle, we only saw the first two types, but they already made us very embarrassed."
"About Gutafu's third ability is the information left by Yu Wenyong."
"But the Empire has confirmed its authenticity."
"By the way, I'll tell you a secret, Gutav is the legendary ancestor demon."
"That's why he has the third ability."
"As for what the ancestral demon is, it involves the deep secrets of the demon hunters, I don't know."
Amanda was very dissatisfied with Chen Qi's contempt for the demon's ability. The young man was indeed ignorant and fearless.
You have to suffer big losses and experience lessons before you can recognize the reality.
But considering this guy's smooth journey, it's not surprising that he's so arrogant.
But the Dharma Realm will soon teach him how to be a human being, and that world is not easy to mess around with.
······
"Ancestral Demon?"
This is the first time Chen Qi has heard that there is no record at all in the previous "Inner World General Knowledge".
Chen Qi was not curious about the Ancestral Demon, but how Gutav became the Ancestral Demon.
Could something happen after using up the three wishes?
It shouldn’t be, the die face [1] clearly says “free”.
Chen Qi thinks that as long as he can figure out what the ancestor demon is?
Maybe you can get a glimpse of another mystery of the bronze dice.
Originally, he planned to ask Amanda how to deal with shadow backlash, but he didn't expect that those few people had never experienced it.
It seems that we need to be more careful with Gutav's third ability.
"Amanda, put the devil's matter on hold for now."
"What I urgently need to know now is the details of the Dharma Realm and how to advance to LV6."
"I was still too weak when I fought Arnold before."
Chen Qi asked the last two questions, and only the veteran apostle Amanda could answer them for him.
······
"7 of Hearts, your current strength is already very good."
"You have just constructed the Apostle Arms, but the increase in your own ability has reached 10 times, which is already rare."
Unlike Chen Qi who thinks he is not strong enough, Amanda thinks this guy is too strong.
When he just constructed the Apostle Arms, the amplification of his own superpowers was only 5 times.
He dared not fight against the LV6 apostles at all.
The reason why LV5 can widen the gap with ordinary players is that the most basic ability of the Apostle Arms is to amplify the abilities of 4 cards.
This amplification multiple is between 5 and 30 times.
When most players just constructed the Apostle Arms, their superpowers can only be amplified 5 times.
But basically no apostle can reach the extreme value of 30 times, and even 20 times is rare.
Because of the game reshuffle every 5 years, LV5 players will be forced to upgrade to LV6 regardless of whether they want to or not.
And a few short years is not enough for players to upgrade the apostle's weapons to the extreme.
"In fact, the so-called [Apostle Arms] is just a way for past players to flatter themselves."
"What we get are fragments of superpowers. LV5 is just a framework to magnify our own superpowers."
"As for how to upgrade to LV6, it is actually very simple. Just transfer the superpowers on the other three cards to the core card."
"In this way, the Apostle Arms is no longer a patchwork, but a whole."
"But this is just an upgrade to LV6. If you want to be truly crowned as an apostle, you need to completely devour the other three abilities with the power of the core card and sublimate a fragment of authority."
"Only in this way can you barely touch the silver level!"
"The real apostle holds complete authority, which is not comparable to the apostle players."
When she said this, Amanda's face was full of sighs.
Players seem to be able to call the wind and rain in the game and are extremely powerful.
But this is just an illusion.
A real silver apostle can easily tamper with the celestial phenomena and destroy a city with a wave of his hand.
The strength of the apostle players is not even 1‰ of that.
Of course, even if they are slightly close to the silver level, it is enough for the apostle players to laugh at the controller.
This is also the reason why Amanda was so arrogant before and disobeyed Milton.
Because that guy's strength is only that of a controller, and it was because of his recent outstanding performance that he was promoted by the empire.
Unfortunately, Amanda was careless for a moment and made mistakes one after another, causing him to lose his autonomy in the game.
Don't look at the fact that the Seven of Hearts is now highly valued by Milton, once it loses its value.
All the benefits he had eaten before will be vomited out.
······
"It turns out that the vision of the apostle players is the manifestation of the fragments of authority."
"Now I know how to advance to LV6, but don't worry, my apostle weapons can be improved."
Although there is not much time left before the next round of shuffling, Chen Qi feels that he still has time to double the strength of the apostle weapons, at least not below the average level.
Unfortunately, his destination is the Dharma Realm after all, and sublimating the fragments of authority is the kingly way.
"Red Heart 7, generally speaking, when the amplification ability of the Apostle Armament is increased to 15 times, it is difficult to increase it again."
"You don't have much time, you'd better enter the Dharma Realm as soon as possible!"
"Whether it is capturing extraordinary blood or sublimating core fragments, it needs to be done in the Dharma Realm."
"They are the most important to you."
Amanda's admonition this time is absolutely from conscience. After all, if Chen Qi doesn't take care of him in the Dharma Realm, he will probably have a hard time in the future.
Don't look at his injuries now, but he is still the weakest party.
Whether it is the demon Gutaf, or the Sun King and the club king who have joined forces, they are enough to crush him.
"Don't worry, I won't delay too long."
"I can still tell which is more important."
"As for the Dharma Realm, I am still confused now."
Chen Qi promised Amanda that he would be promoted to LV6 and enter the Dharma Realm in at most half a month.
After thinking about it, Amanda found this time acceptable.
It was only half a month, he could still hold on.
······
"7 of Hearts, the Dharma Realm is not as mysterious as you think."
"You also know that the King's Game originated from the Black Death Prison!"
"Although Gutaf created the King's Game with the fragments of the Cang Shou Demon Dragon and the Tong Tian Giant, the Black Death Prison has never disappeared."
"Under the operation of the game balance mechanism, once the player is promoted to LV6, he will be imprisoned in the Black Death Prison."
"There are not only various sources of superpowers there, but also many weird things!"
"But at its root, everything in the Dharma Realm can be traced back to the Cang Shou Demon Dragon and the Tong Tian Giant!"
"The things involved behind this are a bit big."
As Amanda began to speak, the mystery of the Dharma Realm began to be gradually unveiled in front of Chen Qi.
And the truth about why the Tongtian Empire was defeated in the war finally surfaced.
Chen Qi had never thought that a mere "King's Game" would involve so many beings, even the "Ten Ancients" involved in the "Spirit World Declaration" were entangled in it.
