Cataclysm King - #131 - Chapter 131: Master Merlin

  Chapter 131 Master Merlin

  Ji Xun and Dong Qi chatted while doing their own things.

   Didn’t notice it at all, a few mice with bright red eyes were already observing in the dark.

   Time passed little by little.

   “Hoo” “Hoo”

  Ji Xun saw that it was seven o’clock, and he also stopped, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

   Then sit cross-legged and meditate.

   The two of them didn’t know what to wait for here.

  But you can only wait.

  “咔”“咔”“咔”.

  The surrounding area is very quiet, and the sound of the hands on the pocket watch can be clearly heard.

  Suddenly, Ji Xun opened his eyes, glanced at the dark pipe hole not far away, and said softly: “Here we are.”

  Looking at the time, it was exactly seven o’clock.

  Dong Qi also turned his head to look over.

  The sound of footsteps also came from the passage.

   The two stood up, thinking that it would be Master Merlin coming.

   However, when footsteps came in, they saw a big mouse?

right!

   It’s a gray mouse as tall as a person, fat and big like a chinchilla!

  In the city of innocence, there are quite a few big rats.

   But this mouse still has a lamp in its paw, I have never seen it before!

  Mice’s expression was very anthropomorphic. He turned his head to glance at the two of them, then turned around and left, as if to say: Follow me.

  Ji Xun and Dong Qi were both very surprised, and they followed.

   All the way deep into the pipeline, the lights were gradually lost in the darkness.

  Ji Xun knew that the city of innocence had a very large and undeveloped underground space.

   But following the big mouse all the way down, he deeply felt that the underground space was bigger than expected.

  Before it was just walking through some pipes.

   After gradually getting deeper, I took an elevator like a mine, and went down nearly a kilometer all the way.

  They came to a space like an experimental base.

   Surrounded by thick concrete walls.

  Ji Xun took a closer look, and found that these were all ancient buildings.

   Not only mysterious, but scary.

  Ji Xun’s five senses and crisis perception are very keen because of the werewolf returning to his ancestors.

  He clearly sensed that there were some terrifying existences in the darkness of the surrounding corridors.

  The rustling sound seemed to be a huge snake-like creature crawling on the ceiling pipe;

   The movement of gurgling, like the movement of a huge creature sleeping soundly;

   There is also the faint mental pollution, the uncontrolled range of mental fluctuations of unknown monsters;

  It feels like you have come to an underground paradise of unknown creatures.

   Walking all the way, the hairs burst all the way.

   If there is no mouse to lead the way, Ji Xun would never dare to go deep!

  On the contrary, Dong Qi only felt a little cold because his perception was not sharp enough.

   Two people and one mouse went deep in this way.

   Not long after, Ji Xun finally saw some light.

  At this time, the mouse that had been leading them all the way suddenly turned around and said, “Here we are.”

  Ji Xun and Dong Qi were all taken aback, their expressions thought they heard it wrong!

   Did the mouse just talk?

  A talking mouse?

  The gray-haired mouse said in a strange tone, “Have you never seen a talking chinchilla? Also, human beings, don’t look at me like you look at monsters. It’s very rude!”

  Even after saying this, Dong Qi blinked, but couldn’t help but look a few more times.

   Ji Xun smiled and apologized slightly, it really felt like he had stepped into a magical story.

   Fortunately, at this time, someone shouted not far away from the place where the lights were on: “Dong’s girl, come in directly.”

  Ji Xun recognized the voice, it was that Master Meilin.

   The two walked over.

   But as soon as he entered, he was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.

   This is a huge biological laboratory.

  The storey is nearly 100 meters high.

   This huge space is filled with all kinds of strange instruments.

   Not that kind of small workshop, but a real super laboratory.

   Various pipes are connected, and some unknown green fluorescent liquids are conveyed inside.

  In the rows of jars, the potion is soaked with all kinds of aberrations, limbs of unknown creatures, Warcraft tissues, human samples, and strange-shaped plants.

   There are also various mechanical instruments with magic screen display in the eyes.

  Strong magical black technology style.

   Ji Xun originally thought that Master Meilin was a legendary card maker, and chose to live underground because he didn’t like the excitement.

  The card maker studio he thought was a room full of books.

  However, I never thought that it would be such a scene.

   Seeing these black-tech instruments instantly refreshed his understanding of the world’s scientific research level.

   And looking at it this way, how is this Master Merlin just a legendary card master?

   It can even be said to be a mechanical master, an engineering master, a biological scientist, a natural scientist, a doctor.

   Seeing the rows of anatomical specimens of human corpses, Ji Xun vaguely understood why the master was exiled to the city of innocence.

  Dong Qi on the side was also dumbfounded, and couldn’t help being amazed.

   Among the machines, the gray-haired old man wearing strange mechanical glasses looked back and asked, “Girl, Dong Jiu said you are going to enter the second level?”

   One sentence of “Dong Jiu” immediately reveals the seniority.

  Dong Qi also looked extraordinarily well-behaved at this moment, quickly recovered from the shock, and responded: “Yes, Grandpa Merlin.”

  Merlin seemed to be doing some experiments, so he asked casually, “Is there any demand for professional cards?”

  Dong Qidao: “I still want to take the follow-up career of the Miracle Sequence [Box 10-Mechanical Apprentice].”

   “Mechanics, there are very few card masters who take this occupation sequence now.”

  Master Merlin listened, and murmured.

  Dong Qi was a little apprehensive. She did know that very few people chose this career sequence, and many veteran card masters looked down upon it.

But I didn’t expect Lin to be very interested, and said: “However, it’s very good. Machinery was the “Supernatural Fifth Element” thousands of years ago, but the old-fashioned group didn’t want to admit it. Miracle Sequence , how could it be so simple”

  Dong Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

  Melin didn’t bother: “Go and sit on the chair over there. I’ll help you check the attributes. Then I will configure a high-fit template for you.”

  Hearing this, Ji Xun also called professionally.

  Instead of going to the market to buy templates, whether it fits or not depends entirely on luck.

   Can this opening be custom templated?

   Tsk tsk, is this the legendary master?

  Dong Qi nodded obediently: “Yes.”

   She said, and went to sit on the weird chair that looked like an electric torture chair.

  Although Ji Xun didn’t speak the whole time, he observed everything here carefully.

   At this moment, I don’t know if it was an accident or something, suddenly, in a jar more than ten meters high not far away, the lid of “Kangdang” was lifted, and a tentacles like an octopus stretched out.

  One, two. Densely packed tentacles.

  Under the lid, it seemed that some monster was about to crawl out.

  Ji Xun looked at his pupils and shrank suddenly: What monster?

  He is sure that he has never seen, or seen this form of creature from any classics.

   At the same time, Enlightenment also appeared: “You saved a psychic attack from an ‘unknown **** creature'”

  Ji Xun saw this and was also very interested.

  Because he just felt a kind of blood coercion like facing a high-level demon like the Red Baron!

  This person’s research path is a bit wild.

  Master Merlin only glanced at it, as if his own little pet frightened the guests, and said lightly: “Go back!”

  As soon as the spell on the jar lit up, the tentacled monster shrank back as if it had been electrocuted as soon as it showed its head.

  Seeing this, Master Merlin casually explained, “Oh, I’m sorry, that’s the evil god’s tentacles recorded in a certain ancient book that I resurrected with ancient cells. It’s been a little restless recently”

  Ji Xun was also surprised when he heard the words: “Evil God?”

   “Not really a god.”

  Melin didn’t take it seriously: “It’s just the name that ignorant human beings give to some creatures beyond cognition. A more accurate description should be a kind of spiritual high-level **** creature.”

  Ji Xun’s eyelids twitched inexplicably when he heard this.

   Are all the “pets” raised by Master Merlin so strange?

   Talking mice forget it.

   Also raised a tentacle monster from hell?

   As he spoke, Merlin got some response, and said again: “However, it said that your spiritual power is very dangerous.”

it says?

  Ji Xun was startled when he heard that, how did he find out?

Master Merlin seriously disappeared, and explained: “This evil tentacle is very sensitive to the perception of creatures with high spiritual power. It wanted to pollute you just now, but it should be blocked by a relic on your body. But it also sensed your spiritual power. The strength is abnormal. If I guessed correctly, it should be deformed soon.”

  Speaking, he also said to himself: “It’s strange. I thought you came here to deal with physical distortion. I didn’t expect it to be mental distortion.”

  “.”

  Ji Xun heard this, his eyes gradually deepened.

   In front of this master, I seem to have no secrets.

At this moment, Mei Linda seemed to see a wonderful experimental product, and looked at Ji Xun with great interest: “I was also curious about how special it is. Dong Jiuhui gave you the favor I left him. Now look Come on. It’s really interesting.”

   As he spoke, he looked at Ji Xun, chuckled lightly, and said, “Dong Jiu said that I was only interested in seeing you because you fused the [Cursed Four of Spades]. Let me see if you transform.”

  This tone is not good.

   No wonder Dong Jiu repeatedly explained that this old man has a bad temper.

  Judging from this tone, it is only because of favors, you may not be able to meet this master.

  But Ji Xun didn’t get any ink marks when he heard it, and said, “Master, please give me some pointers.”

   Immediately infused with mana, the muscles all over his body began to swell, and the black and blue hair also soared.

   In the blink of an eye, he changed from a human form into a ferocious werewolf.

  Because of returning to his ancestors, he is much taller than ordinary werewolves.

  There is a faint blue light in the eyes, just looking at it makes people feel murderous.

Master Merlin only glanced at it, as if he had seen through everything, and pondered: “The degree of atavism is very high. That means the quality of the werewolf main material you used to refine the professional card is not bad. This is not a waste of that template. The key is that there is no sign of distortion yet, which is intentional. Well, that is to say, the demon mark you fused is at least of legendary quality. Oh no, the atavism that can withstand this intensity must be an epic source card. “

Following this line of thought, he analyzed to himself: “Let me think about it, one of the fifty-two source cards [imprint·four of spades] is in the Lionheart family. So you are definitely not the fusion of this imprint .But it is darker. There are not many suitable cards in the source card.”

  “.”

  Ji Xun listened to the analysis with a slightly different expression.

  Because he had almost no knowledge of the world’s top spell card master, he admitted that he had underestimated the Master Merlin in front of him before coming.

   Now it seems that this research on extraordinary power is really unfathomable.

   But it’s not a complete surprise.

  Since he chose to come, he already thought that he would be exposed.

   After all, the [Cursed 4 of Spades] was made by this person himself.

  From the moment Ji Xun chose to believe in Dong Jiuye, he gambled a certain risk.

   And this risk is still within the estimate.

  The reason why they are called “Legendary Card Creators” is because they can successfully refine cards of legendary quality by themselves.

  Including occupation cards, various function cards, skill cards and demon marks!

   Epic cards are fatally attractive to others, but this Master Merlin is not necessarily so.

Probably guessing what he was thinking, Master Merlin shook his head and smiled: “Relax, young man. Everyone here has their own secrets. The old man is interested in your imprint, but it is only at the research level. .It’s just an epic source card, although it’s out of reach for others. But the old man has personally helped to integrate more than one.”

   As he spoke, he added another sentence: “Since you don’t want to tell, I won’t ask. No outsider will know your secret.”

   “Thank you, Master.”

  Ji Xun heard the same expression.

  He didn’t think that Master Merlin was just a card maker.

  The other party is really hostile, other thoughts are meaningless.

  Master can personally promise to keep it secret, so there is nothing to worry about.

   And after hearing the second half of the sentence, he also learned a lot.

  It turns out that the epic source card can also ask someone to help integrate it?

   Thinking about asking the master for help, I can control the probability of distortion or something.

  Master Merlin didn’t mention any more demon marks.

  But Ji Xun could also tell that this guy was really interested in him.

   “Okay, you don’t need to transform.”

  Master Merlin helped Dong Qi check the data, and asked again: “Do you know why the people who fused the [Cursed Four of Spades] before were 100% distorted?”

  Ji Xun expressed his conjecture: “Because you can’t bear the increase in the violent and extraordinary characteristics brought by the original template?”

“More than that.”

  Master Merlin said: “It’s also because the [Cursed Four of Spades] was originally one of my experiments.”

  Ji Xun raised his eyebrows and looked over: “Experimental product?”

Master Merlin said: “Yes. An experiment about blood returning to ancestors. This is related to an important guess direction that breaks through the shackles of legendary card masters for thousands of years. The dragon bone I got last time made me more sure that this direction is correct. Yes. But those things are meaningless to you now if you understand them.”

At this point, he had no intention of explaining, and instead said: “I originally wanted to take it back, but the last time I went to the auction, it was taken away first. Just forget it. I didn’t expect you to be able to merge successfully.” You have returned to your ancestors so perfectly. It is also fortunate that you came to me. Otherwise, if you just searched for some professional cards to advance, it would be a waste of such a good imprint talent, and a waste of such a good foundation.”

  “.”

  Ji Xun felt the same way.

   Judging from this professional level, it is definitely the most correct choice to find someone.

  Master Meilin seemed to have thought of a lot of ideas, but in the end he didn’t say anything, he just said: “I understand your situation. But the original template of [Qigong Master] you need has long since disappeared in the long river of history.”

  Ji Xun didn’t feel disappointed when he heard it, and waited for the next article.

   This person said that there is no more, and there is a high probability that they will not be found elsewhere.

Master Merlin said again: “But I have a better choice. I know a [Qigong Master] career template handed down from the era of the Rosa Dynasty, which is more suitable for your current situation. But it takes time to deal with it. When the refining is finished, I will send a message to Dong Jiu.”

  Ji Xun heard this, and already knew that his second-tier career template was stable: “Thank you, Master.”

Merlin reminded again: “That’s right. The ‘element’ element required by that template is the main material. You may need a magic core with at least the second-level quality of ‘Bright Silver’, preferably with the prefix ‘Excellence’. A magic core that can accommodate many types of elements. But that kind of monster is hard to find. I don’t have any in stock here, so you need to find a way by yourself.”

  Ji Xun listened and nodded: “Yes.”

  The template is solved, of course I have to find the material by myself.

   Now that he has only advanced to the first level, he is not in a hurry.

  Now that he met such a top master, Ji Xun also took advantage of the situation and asked: “By the way, master. Can the problem about my spiritual power be solved?”

Master Merlin: “The best way to control the distortion of mental power is to practice the mysterious method of spirit. But your situation is very special. Your mental power is like the tentacled evil god. It is a single entity, but the tentacles themselves have their own If only one of them is strengthened, although it can be temporarily suppressed, it will eventually get out of control. I can’t think of any kind of spiritual mystery that can solve it.”

  “.”

  Ji Xun also became serious when he heard this.

  Master Merlin’s words may be the most authoritative diagnosis in the world.

  This kind of master-level assertion, that is to say, I am afraid it is really difficult to solve.

  However, Ji Xun, who has been able to face death calmly for a long time, is not disappointed with this problem that has troubled him for a long time.

   Neither happy nor sad.

  Seeing Ji Xun’s indifferent demeanor, Master Mei Lin also smiled slightly, and said again: “But I have a plan, which has a high probability of allowing you to survive. It just depends on whether you are willing to undergo a little surgery.”

  Ji Xundao: “I would like to hear the details.”

Master Merlin: “It’s the ‘evil god’s tentacles’ you saw just now. I can help you remove a bit of brain diseased tissue, and then transplant a larva into your brain. It will always absorb your spiritual power. It is a physical restraint.” .As long as you stop cultivating mental power, there is a high probability that you can survive. But there is a problem. After the operation, you will be you, but not the old you. You will lose part of your memory and cognition. “

  Ji Xun immediately gave up the idea when he heard this, and said with a smile: “Thank you, Master. I will seriously consider your proposal.”

  If you just want to live, you need to give up a part of yourself.

   This is not that attractive to him.

  Although he often confused those thoughts in his mind.

   But that’s all him.

   Not long after, Ji Xun and Dong Qi left this magical underground laboratory.

   It’s like a deal is done.

  Master Merlin is very busy, and he is not interested in small talk.

  Although Ji Xun guessed that there might be a lot of details about his career card, he tactfully didn’t ask too much.

  He knows that his level is too low, and those things are still out of reach.

  Anyway, Master Merlin promised a career card, and the goal has been achieved.

  And since I already know that there is this way, I still have the opportunity to contact it in the future.

   There is no rush.

   And it was not long after Ji Xun and the two left.

  A man wearing a black cloak and a mask came quietly.

Master Merlin looked at the uninvited person with a calm expression, and said indifferently: “I haven’t seen this mask for a long time. There is no guide, and you can come here quietly. Your strength is pretty good. You are Thirteen Masks The “light chaser” of this generation of knights? “
