Cataclysm King - #74 - Chapter 74: a strange letter

  Chapter 74 A Strange Letter

  What Ji Xun didn’t know was that while he was drinking at the Rose Tavern, a negotiation was also going on in the tavern across the street.

   “Hey, Artest, I’ve already given you brotherhood a lot of face, so I’m sitting here negotiating. What do you mean?”

   “Dong Qi, your people are too out of bounds. I won’t say much, those shops should be closed, the rules remain the same, don’t **** around.”

“A Tai, you have to be clear, it’s not us Honglou who want to steal your business, but the customers who want to come. Times have changed now, and those goods that used to be smuggled can now be delivered through regular channels. Those of you Inferior goods are now thrown into the sewer and no one wants them, and they still expect to sell them at a high price? Customers want to buy good things with money. This is not the era when you can make money with a gun to your head. Now earn money, each depends on his own ability. Is it bothering you to buy everything?”

   “What kind of opening rewards and discounts are you doing in those shops, and you have poached all the customer channel dealers in my shop! You still say it won’t affect it?”

   “I lost my own money, it’s none of your business? I didn’t sell it on your site. If you don’t think it’s okay, you can also discount it.”

   “Then there is no need to talk about it!”

   Having said that, he suddenly flipped the table.

  Downing Street is the block with the highest probability of fire in Innocence.

  The sound of guns and cannons is the same as disco music. It will be strange if there are not a few gunshots at night.

  As soon as the fight broke out, the security guards of the tavern skillfully took out a bunch of mechanical shields, and then piled them into a shield wall at the door.

  Not only were the drinkers not frightened, but they all lay down near the shield wall to watch the battle with great interest.

   Ji Xun originally thought it was just an ordinary gunfight, but it sounds like “Honglou” and “Brotherhood”, the two largest gangsters in Innocence City.

  He also immediately became interested.

  He was sitting near the door, so he could see the situation outside.

  The passers-by on the street have fled far away, and two groups of people are confronting each other on the street.

  A group of people are mostly shirtless, with exposed muscles and menacing tattoos;

  Another group of leather locomotives and various guns.

  It feels like a duel between a traditional martial arts school and a motorcycle gang.

   The confrontation between the two sides has already accumulated hundreds of people in the blink of an eye.

   This posture of swords and swords is on the verge of a large-scale merger.

  “.”

   Ji Xun also frowned.

   It’s best not to watch this kind of excitement.

  Mechanical shields can only block ordinary bullets. This posture doesn’t seem like it’s just a small fight. Ordinary shields can’t give people a sense of security.

   But when he looked at the leather-clothed woman who was the leader of the motorcycle gang, he felt inexplicably familiar.

  Although he was wearing a mechanical helmet, he had a faint feeling that it was the “Dong Qi” who instructed him to go to the black market back then?

  Sister Bo on the side took a look, but smiled: “I can’t fight.”

  Ji Xun also asked curiously, “Oh?”

  Sister Bo is worthy of being an information businessman, and said directly: “On the one hand is Miss Honglou, and on the other is Artest, the seventh master of the Brotherhood. If these two really wanted to fight, Innocence City would be thrown into chaos immediately. It is estimated that the recent discussion on business issues has collapsed, and there is no place to extinguish the fire, so just flip the table. “

  Ji Xun heard the identity of Miss Hong Lou, and basically confirmed that the girl in leather was “Dong Qi”.

   No wonder the owner of the “Silver Star Mysterious Shop” sold him the bottom-of-the-box good stuff with a single name, so she was the eldest lady of the biggest gangster in Innocence City?

   And it’s a coincidence.

  Ji Xun looked at the “boxing champion” Artest opposite him, and his expression instantly became weird: “No wonder the owner of the Silver Star Shop said that the gold fragments had a sensitive origin. Could it be from this person?”

   This guy is shirtless, dark-skinned, and has a tiger tattooed on his body.

  The black magic power all over his body is like a flame, but it is not attached to the body surface like other second-level spell card masters, but separated by a “vacuum layer”.

   But looking at the vacuum layer on the surface of Artai’s body, Ji Xun also raised his eyes slightly: “Could it be Gang Qi?”

  He knows how to learn [Hard Qigong], and is no stranger to Qigong masters.

  The overflow of mantra power condenses into gangs, which is the secret method of advanced qi control by qigong masters.

  Just this layer of stellar energy can easily block the demon-breaking bullets.

   This is a real master!

   But Ji Xun’s focus is not on this.

   To be able to develop this kind of “Gang Qi”, in addition to proficiency, the most important thing is that the power of the mantra must be very exaggerated in order to condense this vacuum layer. Theoretically speaking, it is impossible for a qigong master below the third level to practice.

   This Artest is only second-tier.

  Also, almost every elemental mana has a highly distinguishable color.

  For example, the magic power of the fire element is red, and the water element is blue.

   And the black ones are either dark mana, or Ji Xun’s mana mixed with various elements.

   Just these two points, Ji Xun has confirmed that the breathing method of this guy is the same as his own, that is, the incomplete golden breathing method!

  Seeing this, Ji Xun suddenly thought of something: “That’s not right, he’s already a second-level spell card master, and he shouldn’t only have six-fold mantras.”

  According to my current cultivation speed, it will probably take me a few months to cultivate to the sixth stage of spell power.

  At first, I was a little worried that this is an incomplete exercise and I can’t find a follow-up.

  Looking at it now, it seems that there really are?

  However, this Artest is not an easy character to get along with at first glance.

  If you really want to come to the door to ask if someone sells their unique secret method, I am afraid that you will have your head blown off on the spot.

  The follow-up of this exercise is not easy to get.

  The confrontation on the street was as Sister Bo said, although it was very noisy, but there was no fight.

   But this movement also attracted more and more people to watch.

  Ji Xun was watching the excitement in the Rose Tavern, but his eyes were looking around the crowd from time to time.

  The meeting of the Silver Moon Sect was said to be at nine o’clock, and now it is already half past nine.

   He has been observing on the first floor and found nothing abnormal.

   There are some entertainment boxes on the second floor of the Rose Tavern. Because of the airtightness, few people have been seen before.

  But now because of the hustle and bustle on the street, those people in the private room on the second floor also came out to watch the excitement.

  Ji Xun glanced out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly caught something keenly.

  He sees an alcoholic coming out of a room on the second floor.

   This is not surprising, but Ji Xun saw the out-of-control magic power on that guy like octopus tentacles!

   Except for corpses, Ji Xun has never seen this kind of irregular magic power overflow on any living person, and he immediately thought of something: “”Lone Wolf” Baron? “

   But he saw Baron on the train, it wasn’t like this

   Not everyone has a clown mask to change face.

  Suddenly he thought of something, and suddenly realized: “Change the skin!”

  Ji Xun finally knew where the human skin that the doctor peeled off went.

  I also know why the people of the Silver Moon Sect hide it so well.

   These guys just changed their skins!

  The change in the physical level will not be noticed at all.

   “This craftsmanship is really amazing”

  Ji Xun looked at the skin that was no different from ordinary people, and sighed.

  But the fact now is that the doctor has been killed, and I don’t know if they can change.

  Seeing Baron’s appearance, he has already confirmed that the [Silver Moon Mirror] is the communicator within their sect.

   Originally, I wanted to send another report letter.

  But the thought disappeared as soon as I thought about it.

   It doesn’t necessarily hurt others, and it’s even less beneficial to yourself.

   Now except for the existence of a suspected Baron, he is not sure that the rest of the tavern is a member of the Silver Moon Sect.

   There are ghosts inside the Golden Oak Security Company, so the report letter may not be effective.

   If you really want to scare the snake, maybe it will expose the information leaked by the mirror.

   Besides, people are still gone now.

  For a while, Ji Xun thought a lot in his mind.

  With this mirror, there must be something to do.

   But now is not a good time.

   These guys are probably here to discuss the auction in three days. Staring at the mirror, they may be able to intercept some information.

  Unknowingly, Ji Xun has spliced ​​together the information he has, and then formed vague plans in his mind.

   Not long after, Ji Xun left the Rose Tavern.

  He didn’t expect to discover any big secrets, but confirming that the mirror is useful is already the biggest gain.

  Ji Xun walked back all the way and returned to the abandoned building.

  Looked at the trap near the mirror, but no one found it.

  He also felt more at ease.

  Actually, when he saw Baron appearing before, Ji Xun was basically sure that there would be no trouble with the mirror.

   Otherwise, those frightened members of the Silver Moon Sect would definitely not continue gathering at the Rose Tavern.

   Now that the news that should be confirmed has been confirmed, Ji Xun didn’t run around, and continued to digest the harvest of these days in the broken building.

   I don’t know if it’s his comprehension or his own ability to study distractedly.

  Now he is very proficient in meditation, and he can completely run the breathing formula without too much concentration.

   Even get distracted and do something else.

   You can’t do strenuous exercise while practicing breathing, but you don’t need to close your eyes.

  Ji Xun thought about it, and took out the set of “Encyclopedia of Card Master Encyclopedia” that he bought from the black market before and looked through it.

  Hand-copied parchment has a good texture. Although it is expensive, it can be preserved for a long time.

  The paper is yellowed, and Ji Xun estimated that the set in his hands may have a history of nearly a hundred years.

  When flipping through, it always gives people a heavy feeling of turning over the years.

  He was already curious about everything in the other world, and this kind of textbook didn’t feel boring at all.

  Basic principles of spells, card making, introduction to monsters and aberrations.

  In his eyes, those boring knowledge, like little elves, broke into his mind by himself.

  As the pages of the book were turned, Ji Xun gradually had more and more understanding of the world in his mind.

  There is always that sense of anticipation in my mind to glimpse the mystery.

   But flipping through, suddenly, a piece of letterhead fell out of the book.

  Ji Xun picked it up curiously, and it seemed to be a letter?

The content is as follows: “Grandpa gave me a birthday present, saying that it would give me a big surprise. Ah, I was really looking forward to it. But he encrypted it in ancient Talun and asked me to decipher it myself. Grandpa also It is very cunning to let the teachers of the college not help, let me read the book and interpret it by myself. But…but these ancient characters are so difficult, it is a headache to read. It would be great if anyone can help me. Please help me translate this What do the symbols mean, I am really looking forward to the gift, I promise, if I get a response, I will study hard in the future. ▽,,, ω,.」

  Ji Xun read the content on the letter paper, and couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

  Reading the above text, he seemed to see a depressed girl propping her head with her hands in front of the desk, writing a letter while pouting and muttering.

  Learning characters requires savvy talent. You cannot learn a language by giving you a dictionary.

  Not to mention the simplified demonic language of Tarun ancient language.

  Ji Xun looked at this passage, smiled and shook his head.

   I didn’t pay attention to it.

   This is an old object after all.

  Thinking that this is probably the letter paper that the owner of this book inadvertently stuck inside when selling old books.

   Ji Xun saw that there was a lack of a bookmark, so he kept the exquisite stationery.

  He continued to read.

   But don’t know why.

  The efficiency of reading later has dropped.

   I was able to fully immerse myself in it just now, but now my thoughts are interrupted from time to time.

  Thinking back, the characters on the previous notes seemed to have some kind of magical power, and they echoed in my mind from time to time.

  I know it myself, but I don’t have an answer.

  It feels like I haven’t done what I should do, and I always feel that something is wrong.

  Thinking.

  Ji Xun thought together, and took out a pen by accident.

  He wrote the general meanings of several ancient Talun words under that piece of paper: gift, garden, tree house, seal.

  He looked at what he had written and smiled.

   It’s strange to say that after writing these words, it seems that some secret agreement has been fulfilled, and I feel instantly refreshed.

  The restless thoughts in my mind disappeared immediately.

  Ji Xun didn’t think too much, and fell into meditation.

   Flash forward for three days.

   In the twinkling of an eye, it was the day when the auction house would be held.

   Ji Xun was still wondering that there was no movement after the Rose Tavern that day.

  But early in the morning, a new secret message finally appeared in [Mirror of the Silver Moon]: “According to the plan”

  Ji Xun deciphered this message, and he already understood that those guys from the Silver Moon Sect were really planning to pay attention to those auction items.

   And act today!

  But there are only a few of them, how dare they?

  PS. When it happened to be on the shelves, I was deleting manuscripts and sorting out the details, so the content of these chapters was not advanced much. I originally wanted to ask for leave to sort it out, but it didn’t feel good until it was put on the shelves. Fortunately, it’s almost sorted out. sorry sorry.

Thanks for the support of ‘Positive sign can be omitted’ 1500, ‘PLAYer006’ 1415, ‘Happy Bad Guy’, ‘Maple Leaf Banqiu’, ‘Lao Yue’, ‘rekaodu’, ‘Baiciqian Wine’, Thanks.
