MTL - Cataclysm King-Chapter 260 The historical truth behind the collapse of the Tarun dynasty

Chapter 260 The historical truth about the collapse of the Talon Dynasty

So, is this mushroom head a light chaser?

Ji Xun became more and more confused the more he asked.

 Judging from the facts, this guy should be the leader of the Thirteen Kamen Riders.

 But he just said, even if it is, it is not?

What's the meaning?

Ji Xun thought about the situation when they went to the extra-dimensional space in "The Battle of Ironforge" before, and guessed in his heart: Maybe this statement has something to do with his ability?

Jia Yu also knew that his words were a bit confusing, so he smiled slightly.

 But he didn’t mean to explain much, and wrote lightly: "This is not too important. You will know it soon."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun didn’t ask any more questions after hearing this.

 After sending away the silly girl, he now looks more bearish on many things.

 He turned to ask: "So why are you here?"

Ji Xun didn’t think it was a coincidence.

As the leader of the Thirteen Knights, his identity has been exposed now. If he dares to show his face openly, something big will happen.

 Not to mention it is such a sensitive node.

As soon as the words came out, Ji Xun thought that the mushroom head was going to say something vague again. Unexpectedly, this guy stated several purposes in a concise and concise manner: "Waiting for you. Watch a show. Kill a few more people. Finally... come. A card game.”

 The amount of information is too large.

Ji Xun’s eyes darted around as he listened.

The tone of this sentence is understatement, but every word spoken seems like a storm brewing.

Before he could figure out what he meant, Jia Yu asked directly: "By the way, do you have what the captain gave you?"

Hearing this, Ji Xun did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you know what that is?"

 He felt that he needed to remind the other party of what he knew.

 Ji Xun didn’t know what a jar was before.

 Now that I have traveled through the time and space zone a hundred years ago, I know.

 Just because he knew it, he understood the seriousness of the matter more clearly.

 It can be said that this clay pot is a "nuclear bomb".

Once leaked, it may even destroy the entire card master civilization.

 It is different from a hundred years ago, when the ancestors of the Bai family left a king snake that lived for thousands of years to guard the jar.

 That "scarlet corruption" is not a problem and can be easily dealt with.

And now this jar has been in the hands of the top officials of Bureau X for who knows how many years, and it has been polluted for who knows how many years. Even the Light Chasers who took office are most likely to be involved in this problem.

 So, mushroom head, can you do it?

Jia Yu understood the look in his eyes and said calmly: "I know."

 At the same time, he added, "So, this card game is about gambling on life."

　　　　???”

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Ji Xun felt that the hairs on his back were exploding.

How big of a gamble are you prepared to make the leader of the Thirteen Knights say "bet your life"?

As he spoke, Jia Yu seemed to have thought of something and asked a meaningful question: "I want to ask you a question."

Ji Xun: "???"

Jia Yu said: "If you have to affect the lives of many innocent people, you can save more, or even all of them. What would you choose?"

Ji Xun thought about it, and he couldn't answer this question. He only said: "From a human perspective, no matter what choice you make, it is wrong. There is no absolutely just answer to this question."

"Yes. But there are always some crimes that someone has to bear. Some choices have to be made by someone. The pioneer's torch will always sway in the wind."

Jia Yu's tone remained calm, and he said calmly: "I bet on my life in this card game, and also on the luck of the card master's civilization."

ˆ “.”

Hearing this, Ji Xun immediately fell into deep thought.

　　Before, I felt that the words of these people standing in high places were all based on guessing, and they were hiding and hiding their feelings, which was unpleasant.

For the first time, I felt that what this guy said was too clear, and I also realized that there were some words that ordinary people couldn't hear.

Not everyone can bear the burden of civilization.

Jia Yu did not continue the heavy topic and asked: "Are you interested in knowing some of the chronological history of the 'Catastrophe'?"

"have!"

Ji Xun is of course interested.

How did the Talon Dynasty fall three thousand years ago? What was the "catastrophe" mentioned in historical documents? Why did civilization end its era?

It can be said that this is a big mystery that has troubled countless historians.

 Since this guy mentioned it, it can be heard.

Moreover, Ji Xun now also knows some fragmentary information, and he knows that the reason why the history of that era cannot be mentioned is most likely because of certain taboos that exist, and any mention of it will be polluted.

 And I happen to be the one who will not be polluted.

Jia Yu said, looking at Ji Xun, his surging desire to share was already over the top, and said in a complaining tone: "You know, it's really frustrating to keep these secrets alone and not be able to share them with others."

As he spoke, he had a mysterious expression on his face, like a bard starting to tell a story, and said directly: "This matter starts with several 'outer gods'."

Ji Xun heard this word for the first time, "Outer God?"

Jia Yu explained: "Yes. A collective name for the old gods that are not included in the fifty-two sequence. In short, this is what the historical documents recorded on the [Forbidden Ruins Stone Stele] call them."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun was also surprised when he heard that there was such a saying.

So far, he has come into contact with the old gods, such as Arachne, the "Lord of Dreams and Pleasure" believed by the Silver Moon Sect, and Acres, the "Lord of War and Destruction" known in other dimensions.

One of these two is suspected of being [Queen of Clubs-Moonlight Queen], and the other is a **** who appeared after the divinity of the demon source card pointed to by the sequence [J of Spades-God of War] was out of control.

  Generally speaking, they are all gods that have existed in the Ka Master civilization.

 Outer God is this outside.

　Where did it come from?

Jia Yu obviously didn't know either, and continued: "Those foreign gods, well, I don't know where they came from. They should be miracles left over from an earlier era. Anyway, one of them is the 'Scarlet Corruption' in the jar. '. Their appearance brought a terrifying 'plague' that quickly swept across the entire Talon Empire. The process is unknown, but the result was that the powerful empire eventually collapsed."

Ji Xun was secretly shocked when he heard this.

 The Talon Empire, which had top card masters, collapsed due to a plague. It was really terrifying.

 It is not easy to destroy the current Federation?

 And how many such foreign gods are there?

Jia Yu said: "Although King Augustus of the Talon Dynasty has mobilized the whole country to seal some of these horrific entities, he was still unable to recover in the end. Knowing that it was irreversible, that king left several sparks of fire to civilization. .One of them came to the 'Eastern Wasteland', which is now the Eastern Continent. They established a 'Xinhuo City' here, completely cutting off the connection with the Middle-earth Continent."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun also suddenly realized that this was how the Tarun Dynasty fell three thousand years ago.

 But, is the current Card Master Federation in the Eastern Continent just one of them?

 In other words, there may be other card master civilizations in other places?

Before he could think about it, Jia Yu continued: "Later, another catastrophe occurred in Xinhuo City. Then it became the ruin-like ruins of the Innocence City that we see now. And the chronology of the Kashi Civilization also started from It started in Xinhuo City.”

 There is nothing wrong with moving to the "Eastern Wasteland" and using abyss cracks to isolate the spread of the plague.

Ji Xun also understood.

 But when he heard about the destruction of New Fire City, he suddenly thought of the murals on the bottom floor of Shangbang Prison.

 The general content of the mural is: Nanjing’s ancestor, the high priest of Oran, killed the Weeping Angel.

  But why?

Jia Yu obviously knew more and told the unknown secret: "In fact, three thousand years ago, even if there was no plague, the Talon Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. The last few Augustus kings were fatuous and cruel, and they had long since Arousing public dissatisfaction, the building will collapse. Later, in order to stabilize the royal power, King Augustus actually thought of using faith to control the people. That is, after the Silver Moon Sect that is left behind came to Xinhuo City, a certain high priest with prophetic vision I have seen the dangers of faith. There used to be restrictions from the royal power, and the Silver Moon Sect was still able to control it, but after the king's power is weakened, the happy faith will contaminate everyone. It won't be long before the Card Master civilization will be destroyed."

After taking a breath, he continued: "In the end, she chose to completely eliminate this hidden danger. At the cost of burying 6 million people in Xinhuo City, she completely wiped out the remnants of the old gods. It also brought the Card Master Civilization a chance to survive for three thousand years. Time until now.”

ˆ “.”

When Ji Xun heard this, he already knew what the mural was about.

Jia Yu finally said: "In order to completely solve the hidden dangers of faith, the high priest also burned all the classics brought from the old continent. This is also the reason why civilization has been eradicated. So before the discovery of Innocence City, almost everyone had classics and extraordinary knowledge. , they were all recorded by previous people, and there are too many missing.”

As he spoke, his eyes were full of regret, and he continued: "And all the super-level card masters who moved to Xinhuo City at that time were killed or injured in the last battle. Most of the remaining ones were palace guards. The remaining Augustus The bloodline of the Du royal family established the Oran Dynasty in the Eastern Wasteland, and in order to stabilize their rule, they restricted the spread of super-level extraordinary knowledge. So this is why now, except for the Oran royal family, no one else knows the most important secrets above the sixth level. One of the reasons. Later, even if it was enshrined by the royal family, because there were no advanced conditions in the Eastern Wilderness, the seventh level gradually became a legend. Of course, although the Eastern Wilderness is barren, it is also safe, and there is no need for the existence of a super-level card master. Therefore. As time goes by, even in the Oran royal family, the super-level inheritance has been cut off."

"I see."

Ji Xun heard these ancient secrets and connected all the fragmented information in his mind.

 Suddenly there was a feeling of enlightenment in my mind.

Although we still know very little about the 3,000-year-old Talon Dynasty, we at least know what the current situation of the Kashi civilization is.

Moreover, Ji Xun also guessed that since Jia Yu chose to tell this period of history, he must have deep meaning.

 The problem in the Federation now is that both the Silver Moon Sect and the Scarlet Corruption have appeared, and there is already a certain climate.

 Belief pollution is spreading rapidly.

 It seems that a steel knife is needed to scrape the bones and cure the poison.

Ji Xun also understood why Jia Yu asked those questions before.

This is really a game in which the fate of civilization is at stake.

 At this point, the stage play on the first floor happened to come to an end.

Jia Yu shrugged and said: "Of course, this is just history floating on the visible level. The real means and vision of those powerful predecessors in ancient times are not what we can imagine with our current knowledge. For example, the Xinhuo City left behind There are still too many secrets in the ruins."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun quietly became a listener.

In this kind of high-end game, if you can't be a chess player, just recognize that you are a charging chess piece.

 He just asked: "So, you want the jar now?"

Jia Yu nodded: "Yes."

Ji Xun immediately took out the can. The thing was cracked, and it was just a bomb that lit the fuse.

 I didn’t think anything of it before, but after hearing this mushroom head saying that he was “betting his life”, it was better to get rid of this thing.

Jia Yu took the jar and glanced at the other two bags on his waist with a strange expression from the corner of his eye.

Ji Xun didn’t want to hide the fact that he still had two bombs.

Although this thing is a treasure, there is no point in hiding it.     He simply cannot handle it now.

 It's so troublesome for one of them, if both of them are also torn apart.

 He was really torn apart.

It was rare to meet someone who knew some truth about ancient history. Ji Xun asked directly: "So, what is the situation with this jar? How many are there?"

Jia Yu was also troubled by the smiling face of the jar. He spread his hands and said, "I don't know either. It is said that these mantra pottery jars are relics left over from the previous era. They are things that are truly related to higher gods. They are even involved. The origin of the Card Master civilization, some truths about the world, and of course many strange catastrophic creatures are like this."

Ji Xun glanced at him and asked with an expression: So, how to deal with it?

Jia Yu responded with a helpless look and said: "Don't look at me with that look. There are too many secrets in this world, and I don't know everything. But the ancient relics before the cataclysm all involve special... The rules of fate. Since you have got it, take it first. No one else can hold it like this."

He really can’t think of anyone else except [JOKER] who can hold this jar.

As he spoke, the mushroom head seemed to notice Ji Xun's concerns, and added: "Besides, this jar isn't that easy to break."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun felt that this was the only way to go.

 Fortunately, it can at least be used as a "spiritual jar".

 But when the two of them communicated, something changed suddenly.

The bag in Jia Yu's hand suddenly lit up with a strange red light.

Ji Xun reacted immediately to the [God Thief Ring] on his finger, and he shouted in his heart: "Not good!"

　　However it was already too late.

The cloth bag, which was fine in his hand, immediately burst into flames when it fell into Jia Yu's hand.

 Then the pottery pot with gold patterns to repair the cracks fell into his hands, and an evil blood energy that made people dizzy just looking at it merged into his pores like lightning without any reaction.

Jia Yu watched as a layer of green fluorescence appeared in his hand, as if to prevent the contamination from the jar from spreading.

 But his own arms had turned dark blue like a vampire.

Things happened so fast that Ji Xun had no time to stop him and reminded him: "Are you contaminated?"

Jia Yu’s eyes were slightly solemn and he nodded: “Yes.”

 But his tone was still without much surprise, and he added: "He came for me. Unless the "Light Chaser" dies, those guys don't dare to show their heads. "

ˆ “.”

Hearing this, Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I know that this mushroom head is definitely prepared, after all, the blood plague is no joke.

 But he didn’t ask any more questions.

 Xie Guozhong had been in Sinless City for a long time before.

Jia Yu, as the "Light Chaser", has not shown up for a long time. He has only come now, so some preparations must have been made.

 The routines of high-end games are already very familiar. If the other party doesn’t tell you this kind of thing, it’s best not to ask.

 Once the cards are revealed, the whole game may be lost.

Jia Yu forcibly suppressed the blood energy on the pot, glanced at Ji Xun, and said: "At present, it seems that the strength of the cards in the hands of both sides in this card game is about the same, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner in terms of skills. In addition to betting on some luck, the outcome may need to be determined by some factors other than the card game. I'm not sure what those are."

 Speaking, he looked over.

Ji Xun knew that he was already in the game.

In this game, many people have quietly entered the game, but they just don’t know it.

And my [JOKER] is a universal card that is not restricted by the game, and it seems to be somewhat useful.

But the light chaser doesn’t know, how can he know how to play?

 The head of the Song family is about to pass away.

 Not only did many outsiders come to the Sinless City.

 In a secret room in Hong Tower, the leaders of the Song family also gathered together.

 But the atmosphere was not harmonious and there were endless arguments.

When Mr. Jiu entered the room with a file, the atmosphere in the room became even more tense.

 A fierce quarrel also broke out.

"I think that since we can't come to an agreement, we should run the federal railway and the Gordo mine separately. After all, I have been operating it for so long, and I have worked hard without any credit, and I plan to continue to share it with the family. There are also bank seats and newspapers. Industry"

"Second brother, have you thought clearly? Everything you call 'business' is provided by the family. To put it bluntly, another dog can do better than you in your position. Do you think you have paid for the family? What? What qualifications do you have to say this?"

"Yes, second brother, don't think we don't know that you have secretly colluded with the Bai family and have pledged 30% of the shares of the Federal Railways? I'm afraid you have been waiting for your grandmother to pass away so that you can divide the family property!"

“I won’t say anything else. Second brother, do you think it’s appropriate to collude with outsiders to deal with your own family?”

"That's enough! Boss, Third, Fifth, and Sixth, are you embarrassed to talk to me? Are your private methods any better than mine? If I don't do something, I'm afraid if I don't do something, I'll wait for you guys to do it. Not even the bones are left!”

"Shut up, all of you! Mr. Jiu is still here! Everything will be governed by my grandmother's will! No matter how you argue, I will only say one thing. Regarding the Federal Bank seats, I only accept the words formulated by my grandmother. Others are not qualified!"

“Since we can’t reach an agreement, let’s stop talking. Everyone should take care of their own affairs and act according to their own abilities.”

“Second brother, you don’t want to follow your grandmother’s will?”

"If you insist on saying this, I can't help it. However, if anyone wants to be tough, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

ˆ “.”

Jia Yu took the jar and left.

Ji Xun stood there and continued to watch the stage play for a while, thinking about the previous words in his mind, and suddenly smiled: "Hey, it turns out that this period of history is so interesting."

Jia Yu’s narration not only cleared up the confusion.

It also opened a door, allowing Ji Xun to see the infinite possibilities of super-level.

 In the past, I only thought that super level was a legend, until I met Mr. Gong, and now.

 This mysterious field has finally been unveiled.

Although I still don’t know what super level means, what is certain is that it is very strong.

The kind of "personality" that is promoted to the realm of "demigod" sees the world differently.

Ji Xun feels that he cannot pry into the mystery of time now, but if he can enter the super level, his hope seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

For the first time, he felt that there was an obsession that made him reach a higher transcendental realm.

 He wants to understand the mystery of time and go and have a look in the long river of time.

 The play is over and there is an intermission.

Ji Xun also walked away.

 Hmm He didn’t know why, but he wanted to go behind the stage and take a look.

This "Royal Song and Dance Ensemble" seemed to be just an art performance group before, but now it has a different kind of nostalgia for Ji Xun.

By chance, Ji Xun walked backstage and saw a dejected fat man walking out of the dressing room.

 It was none other than Song Can, the boss of Da Iwan.

When the two of them met, Song Can looked at Ji Xun who had returned to his original appearance and said in surprise: "Brother Ji Xun?"

 Because Dong Qi is the middleman, they are also familiar with him.

Ji Xun now looked at the people of the Song family with a little more kindness, and greeted them in the same way: "Master Song. Long time no see."

He looked at the fat man's slumped expression and thought that this guy had just come out of the dressing room. He guessed that he might be in a bad relationship and asked casually: "What's wrong?"

The fat man looked at Ji Xun and sighed coquettishly: "Hey, brother Ji Xun, you may not understand, love can really make people haggard."

Ji Xunting had a strange look in his eyes and said, "Rejected?"

Fatty didn’t feel embarrassed at all, he shrugged and said, “Miss Monica is the most beautiful and kind-hearted girl I’ve ever met in my life~ Hey. Why can’t she feel my hot love?”

As he said this, the guy encouraged himself again: "Well! I will never give up!"

Ji Xun looked at him like this. He thought he was being a **** before, but now he didn't find it ridiculous. Instead, he encouraged him, "Yeah. I think you can do it too."

This fat man is really moved.

 After meeting Miss Yu, the clown can ridicule everything in the world, except love.

But Ji Xun was also a little surprised. Monica, the dance troupe's chief dancer, actually rejected the fat man many times?

You must know that even though Song Can is not very old now, he is already a well-known rich man in the Federation.

 Let’s not talk about money, this fat man’s character is not bad, and with his sincerity, he can at least become a friend.

What's more, Ji Xun also knew from the letters left by Song Yu that this fat man would be the next generation leader of the Song family.

What's going on with Monica?

 Song Can himself was puzzled.

 At this moment, he is just a young man addicted to love, with no other ideas at all.

He just felt very depressed. He happened to meet an acquaintance and suggested: "Let's go, brother Ji Xun. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's have a drink?"

Ji Xun was also about to drink, so he responded: "Okay!"

 The two of them walked out side by side, wanting to go to the bar on the third floor for a drink.

However, as soon as we walked into the corridor, something unexpected happened.

 A loud "boom" sound.

 A corpse fell from the sky.

　　It fell in the lobby on the first floor, and blood was everywhere.

 The crowd was startled.

Song Can, who was on the side, recognized the corpse, but his eyes widened in fright, and he blurted out: "Second uncle?"

This corpse is none other than one of the most powerful people in power of the Song Family Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, the second master of the Song Family, Song Yuanhai!

This man, who is considered to have great hands and eyes in the entire federation, was actually thrown from the building of the Hong Tower owned by the Song family?

 Seeing this body, Ji Xun knew that the internal fighting in the Song family had begun.

 Think again about Jia Yu’s appearance before.

Ji Xun always felt that a series of fuses were lit because of the death of the leader of the Song family.

 The drama has begun.
