MTL - Cataclysm King-Chapter 281 Flying dragon attacks the city
Chapter 281 Flying Dragon Attacks the City
The rules of Double Rhodes are simple.
In a deck of poker, each player draws twenty-one cards.
The card surface can be composed of various card types like Texas Hold'em, including straight, flush, pair, and full house.
One side goes first, and the one with stronger cards continues to play.
Whoever finishes playing first wins.
Ji Xun didn’t know why Jia Yu was interested in playing poker.
But he also sat down and started playing in peace.
At this moment, he realized that it was most likely not an accident that he ended up here.
And because of interference from some mysterious forces, it will definitely come.
This leader of the Thirteen Knights wants to see him.
“To 6.”
“Yes 7.”
ˆ “.”
Rhodes cards have a variety of card combinations, and there is also a high level of testing for players’ card-playing skills.
So it is very entertaining.
Mushroom Tou’s card skills are very good, and Ji Xun himself is not bad either.
The two of them played very leisurely.
Looking at Ji Xun's expression, Jia Yu also knew that he was still struggling with the holy water, so he added: "Don't be surprised. I chose to give up the holy water, not for any other reason. It was just because the plan was successful. The probability is just higher. Facts have also proved that without you, even if I can use the water of the Holy Grail, the risk of failure of this plan will be greater."
If the treasure house of Shenxu cannot trap Count Nicholas.
Even if you drink the holy water one more time, you won't be sleepy.
As he spoke, a very relaxed smile appeared on his face, "Now this is the best result I can deduce. So, what else does it matter?"
ˆ “.”
Ji Xun suddenly understood after hearing these words.
The fact is as Jia Yu said, if Ji Xun had not gone to solve the Scarlet Altar, if Nan Jing had gone alone, there would have been many uncontrollable risks, and it would definitely not have been as efficient as two people going together.
But at the same time, four words came to his mind: absolute sanity.
If the plan requires this mushroom head to die himself in order to improve his chances of winning, Ji Xun feels that this guy will definitely do it without hesitation.
But Ji Xun still felt it was amazing and asked directly: "Have you expected that I can help?"
Ever since he knew that the person in front of him was the Light Chaser, the words "Successful Strategy" had become his stereotype of this guy.
Not just him, even Gong Wu commented like this.
"No."
Jia Yu also spoke out.
He looked at Ji Xun and smiled, then corrected: "My ability is not a 'prophecy'. It is not as magical as outsiders imagine. At most, it can be regarded as deducing the possible development direction of some events."
ˆ “.”
Ji Xun knew that this was related to the opponent's career sequence ability.
This is privacy, and I didn’t ask any questions.
But Jia Yu took the initiative to explain: "It's like playing cards. I can guess what other cards you have in your hand through the cards you play. But no matter how you deduce it, in a deck of cards, the two of us got forty-two cards. , and there are ten more hidden cards. After all, we can’t count them all, and we still have to gamble on luck.”
ˆ “.”
Ji Xun smiled slightly as he listened.
This exquisite layout is far from as simple as the mushroom head said.
If I really want to explain it in detail, I can’t explain it clearly in a few words.
But as soon as the results came out and worked backwards, Ji Xun almost understood it.
He didn’t dwell on the topic much.
On the contrary, something else is more curious.
Ji Xun asked: "I'm curious, who was the 'Jia Yu' I knew before?"
He was originally curious about the spell that could bring the dead back to life.
But we also know that this must be a very important top-secret method for the Light Chaser.
Even if the other party doesn’t say it.
He didn’t think it was anything.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he asked, Mushroom Tou revealed the secret of 'Jia Yu' without any care, saying: "That is a 'perfect character' customized in the script using my professional ability."
Ji Xun listened sideways and cast a doubtful look: "???"
Jia Yu explained in detail: "I need a perfect identity disguise to sneak into Bureau X. But Bureau X is not an ordinary place, and the identity review is very strict. There is also Count Nicholas who has broken through the demigod. So... reality No matter how I disguise it, there will inevitably be flaws. And the perfect character I need can only exist in script novels."
After taking a breath, he continued: "Then I wrote a needed character in the script for this purpose: an outstanding graduate of the Federal Card Master Academy, a diligent and studious young man, with an outstanding memory and a simple heart. That's it. The 'Jia Yu' you met before."
Ji Xun was really surprised and said in surprise: "Script character?"
He had guessed various possibilities before.
Thinking that "Jia Yu" is the perfect disguise and magic clone of the light chaser in front of me.
Or something else.
In the end, it’s just a character?
What's the meaning?
Jia Yu also knew that these words were not easy to digest, and responded: "Well, literally. He is a character in my script."
Looking at Ji Xun's more confused eyes, he smiled and explained: "Oh, to be more precise, 'Jia Yu' is my projection in the script world. I have blessed my understanding of the world in The character in the script. It has a part of my perception. So I am it, but it is not me."
Hear the words.
Ji Xun was about to play the card when he stopped in his hand: "Is 'Jia Yu' really a written script character?"
Ji Xun didn’t expect to get the answer.
I didn’t expect the other party to tell the truth.
So, one of the abilities of the light chaser is to make the characters in the script "come alive"?
institutions
This ability sounds outrageous.
Create life?
Isn’t this a magical skill that only the legendary gods can do?
Ji Xun looked over with extremely strange eyes.
Jia Yu smiled and shook his head, as if he had guessed what he was thinking, and corrected: "It's not as exaggerated as you think. It's just an ability to 'empower spirits'. My career sequence is the artistic path [Box 7·Bard" 】The sixth-level profession [Death Screenwriter]. Part of my ability is to write good scripts and then give souls to the characters in the scripts."
ˆ “.”
Hearing this, Ji Xun was startled.
He did not expect that the Light Chaser would reveal all his abilities.
This is a top secret that even the best intelligence dealers don't have.
One of the legendary “Top Ten Unsolved Mysteries of the Card Master Profession” in the Federation!
But I was shocked, this ability was outrageous no matter how I heard it.
He made no secret of his doubts and asked: "Can the characters in the story also have souls?"
"yes."
Jia Yu smiled slightly, as if he expected such a reaction, "If the story in a book is completely logical and self-consistent, the rules are perfect, and the rules are reasonable, then what is the difference between it and the real world? Since it is the real world, then Why can’t the characters in the story have souls?”
!!”
Ji Xun felt as if he had been hit hard by the blow in his mind, and fell into some kind of thinking about his understanding of the world.
Yes, if the logic of the world in a novel is really perfect and self-consistent, what is the difference between it and the real world?
The only difference is the dimension?
For a moment, Ji Xun felt like he was seeing the stars on a summer night.
Although it was out of reach, he saw the light and shadow projected from the depths of the universe.
Jia Yu also knew that what he said might be a little difficult to understand, so he added: "Well, if I put it another way, it might not be so difficult to understand."
After thinking about it, he gave an example: "For example, different-dimensional space."
"ah?"
Hearing this, Ji Xun looked at him suddenly.
At this moment, he suddenly felt as if he could understand the existence of extradimensional space.
A completely logical and self-consistent script world created by the gods of Gaowei?
institutions
This guy’s ability is so outrageous?
The more he understood Jia Yu's abilities, the more Ji Xun felt that his understanding became clearer because of the explanation of doubts.
On the contrary, it feels more and more mysterious.
No!
No matter who hears this, their jaw will definitely drop.
A picture of K's mushroom head appeared on the opposite side, but at this moment he was wearing a disapproving smile: "So 'Jia Yu' is my projection in the script world. I used exclusive relics and some means to materialize it into reality. You There is no problem in understanding it as a 'personality clone' of mine."
As he spoke, he looked at Ji Xun and said something intriguing: "I think you should understand what I mean better than others."
ˆ “.”
Ji Xun can certainly understand.
It’s like the group of personalities in one’s heart were split off and then became a separate “Ji Xun”.
It’s just that those personalities are in one’s own heart.
And Jia Yu really embodied the "Jia Yu" in the script into the real world.
No matter what you think, it seems outrageous.
In other words, this mushroom head can not only embody a "Jia Yu", but also embody thousands of characters in the script.
No wonder he was resurrected after dying several times before.
He is a screenwriter, and with just a few strokes, the characters in the script come to life.
“So that’s how it is”
Ji Xun sighed instinctively in his heart.
Suddenly, he felt as if he had caught something.
I have been studying [Clown Shadow Trick] for several days and I haven't been able to get started with it for several days, and suddenly I seem to have some clues.
“But why is this guy telling me in such detail?”
Ji Xun suddenly couldn’t understand.
This guy showed off all his abilities.
This is no longer just small talk.
It seems that he deliberately told him about the power of the Light Chaser.
Jia Yu looked at Ji Xun's shocked expression and smiled modestly again: "My ability is actually not as mysterious as it seems. It's nothing more than 'deduction'. Deducing the context of everything and making some interventions."
ˆ “.”
Ji Xun listened to this.
I don’t take this ability seriously as “not mysterious”.
He did not continue to ask.
But the two were silent for a moment, and Jia Yu continued to delve into the topic.
He asked a question that would shock anyone who heard it: "'I am the world' is the fifty-two demon gods' forbidden arts, and it is also my domain. Are you interested in finding out? "
The tone was calm, as if he was saying an insignificant spell.
Rather than the top secret in the card master’s civilization.
ˆ “.”
Ji Xun’s eyes twitched inexplicably.
It feels like a gold brick has been dropped on your head and you are stunned.
But some doubts have become clear.
Hearing this, he vaguely guessed the other party's purpose.
After thinking for a moment, Ji Xun responded: "Of course."
There was someone willing to listen, and there was a hint of imperceptible relief in Jia Yu's eyes.
“This starts with the word ‘deduction’”
He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ji Xun, then slowly said: "We can regard the current state of the universe as its past effects and future causes. If we have enough intelligence and knowledge to confirm a certain thing 'The current state and environment. Then we can analyze these data, and its development law will inevitably comply with certain formulas, that is, the 'universe rules'. From this, theoretically speaking, there is no Things will be vague, and the future will only appear in front of me like the past."
Ji Xun’s expression remained unchanged as he listened.
But the shock in my heart is getting stronger every time.
These words allowed him to gain a glimpse into the mystery of the laws of the universe.
After talking for a long time, Mushroom Head concluded: "I have deduced everything that might happen. Theoretically speaking, in the 'world in my cognition', I am omniscient. Therefore, it is impossible to lose. .This is "I am the world." "
ˆ “.”
Ji Xunting understood.
No wonder this mushroom head has no plans left, it turns out that’s the case.
In his world, he is like a god, knowing everything by deduction.
It’s no wonder that the Gong Wuhui commented that if you want to win against the Light Chaser, you must be much stronger than him to have a chance of winning.
This kind of ability to calculate everything will make it impossible to win unless you are crushed by rank.
With that said, Jia Yu seemed to expose his own weakness, saying: "But this ability is limited by self-awareness. Therefore, the shortcomings are also obvious. If the opponent's cognition exceeds the world I know, then the field will not be conquered by myself." break." "."
Ji Xun glanced at him.
It’s strange that I believe you.
It is simply impossible to expect card masters at the same level to know more than you.
If you really want to deal with it, Gong Wu said that crushing by rank is more practical.
After finishing speaking, Jia Yu looked at Ji Xun, whose eyes were slightly dull, and suddenly smiled and asked: "Listen, this "I am the world" is very powerful, right?" "
Ji Xun also said truthfully: "Of course."
He remembered that Catalina once said that everyone else's field has more or less specific restraint methods.
But this field alone is “unsolvable”.
After hearing the principle, not only did he not think he could crack it, but he also had the same idea.
Jia Yu obviously didn’t want to be praised and shrugged.
He still had the same disapproving tone: "My ability is really nothing special, and it's not that magical. I didn't calculate everything, I just got a glimpse of some laws of the universe. Just like playing poker, the combination of the card sequence is the poker hand. According to the 'laws of the universe', you know the opponent's cards, and that's all you can deduce the opponent's cards."
"Ah"
Ji Xun also knew why this guy invited him to play cards.
He was looking at the points on the poker cards in front of him, and he felt different again.
Countless numbers are running around in my mind, and then combined into various card types.
It's like responding to a certain pattern.
You observe and think, the pattern is always there.
Before in the Shenxu Treasure House, Qin Rushi had actually reminded him that the rules of the universe are actually everywhere in life.
It’s just that ordinary people can’t see it.
It turns out that there are also cards in the game.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jia Yu had already played his last hand: "Miscellaneous Straight 34567, you should have three kings left in your hand? Hahaha, then I win this round."
Ji Xun looked at the KKK big name in his hand and laughed at himself, "Well, I lost."
Jia Yu started shuffling the cards, looked at Ji Xun, and said something intriguing: "In this life, it is impossible to get big cards every time. Sometimes an inconspicuous small card can also win the card." Bureau. In my script, 'Jia Yu' is a very inconspicuous character."
"Been taught a lesson."
Ji Xun nodded seriously.
Thinking of something, he asked directly: "Mr. Jia Yu, are you entrusted by Senior Palace this time?"
Not a relative or an acquaintance.
His pretentiousness with Mushroom Tou before was not enough to make people reveal everything at the bottom of the box.
Seeing this, Ji Xun didn't realize that this person was specifically trying to give him some advice.
“Part of it is.”
Jia Yu didn’t deny it either.
He smiled calmly and said: "Senior Gong said that your situation is very special. Any known field is not suitable for you. It just so happens that my lineage of light chasers and [JOKER] have some things in common. I will say a few more words. .”
The domain is not something that is considered only after the sixth level. All the abilities mastered from the time you advance to the extraordinary level are the bricks and stones that make up the domain.
This is the benefit of having senior guidance.
You can lay the foundation earlier.
Ji Xun listened, pondered for a moment, and only said: "Thank you."
The old man didn’t seem to be very interested in this disciple of his who had never admitted it.
But in fact, they are helping everywhere.
Whether it was the previous Master Merlin or the Light Chaser in front of him.
Many legendary bosses chased after them to feed them.
Ji Xun was really flattered.
However, his situation is indeed special. Without the guidance of these seniors, he would have taken too many detours.
It may not work.
Ji Xun sighed in his heart.
However, unexpectedly, Jia Yu smiled and said: "Of course, there are also my own reasons."
Ji Xun: "I would like to hear the details."
In any case, this favor is owed.
Jia Yu dealt the cards and said in a very calm tone: "I may die. If someone comes to you next time wearing the mask of "Light Chaser", please help me tell him what I said today." "
This is the meaning of inheritance.
Ji Xun’s expression remained unchanged as he listened, understanding everything, and responded: “Okay.”
Because he had guessed it from the first moment he saw his Qi movement.
He asked again: “Is there no chance to survive?”
Jia Yu also spoke very simply, saying: "Yes! For example, find the energy source that the [Sismark Holy Grail] needs and recharge the holy water."
Ji Xun knew that he would not be able to wait for decades, so he asked, "What do you need?"
Jia Yu’s eyes were foggy: “I don’t know either. But I speculate that it may be the divine power of faith related to ‘war and royal power’.”
Ji Xun frowned.
Faintly aware of something.
He has experienced the "Holy Grail War" extradimensional space twice and has a general understanding of the plot.
But he still hasn't figured out why demons and humans compete for this Holy Grail.
Jia Yu seemed to have known that this topic would be discussed for a long time, and asked the same question: "Have you ever considered why in the extradimensional space of "The Third Holy Grail War", humans and demons will have conflicts that last for thousands of years? War?"
ˆ “.”
Ji Xun shook his head.
“I don’t know either. But I used my ability to infer some reasons.”
Jia Yu paused and continued: "My teacher once said that in ancient times, gods used planes as chessboards and laws and mysteries as chessboard contexts. The so-called civilizations, empires, city-states, armies, heroes, civilians, and sect believers are all... As the flag. Use the fate of the chess pieces as the chess power, and the falling of the pieces can determine life or death. In fact, the essence is faith and certain things. In the eyes of gods, low-level creatures like humans are no different from ants."
Ji Xunshen thought so.
This is the case for all the believers of the old gods he came into contact with.
Jia Yu told an even crueler truth: "Only pain will make people believe in doctors, and only suffering will make people pray to gods. This is the original driving force of faith."
Ji Xun nodded as he listened.
Jia Yu: "And not only that. I got some conjectures from some documents left over from ancient times. The last few steps leading to the divine level above the seventh level seem to also require something special like a faith sacrifice. Ritual, to meet certain directed conditions. For example: war. Otherwise, I can’t think of any reason that can reasonably satisfy the motivation required to launch this Holy Grail war.”
ˆ “.”
Ji Xun’s pupils narrowed slightly.
Thoughts are racing.
"Let's talk about the Holy Grail. Destiny is one of the most mysterious rules of the universe. Just wait for the result. The topic is far away. And your current realm is too early to talk about the field. You need something else to stabilize your 'mind' thing."
Jia Yu said, "Let me show you something."
As he spoke, he took out an ordinary book that looked like a manuscript.
Ji Xun looked over.
【X-007-Infinite Script·The World of Will and Representation】
Detailed explanation: A relic exclusive to the bard lineage.
This is a catastrophic object.
“This is an exclusive relic inherited from my lineage. Some of the light chaser’s deduction abilities are accomplished through it.”
Jia Yu turned to the first page of the script.
There seems to be a lot of text recorded on it.
But Ji Xun could not see clearly.
He knew that it was a high-level demonic language.
Jia Yu read it directly: "'Yi' is not only the subject of cognition, but also the subject of the body; not only is human beings the unity of subject and object, but the entire world is the unity of the surface world and the inner world. The world is both will and representation. .”
???”
Ji Xun felt like he had heard something powerful just now.
points to "meaning".
But the brain chooses to filter out information that it cannot understand.
So, I have no impression of what I heard.
Even if you try hard to recall it, you will still find that the passage will slip away, and you can't catch it at all.
The brain rejects this feeling.
Jia Yu also knew that he couldn't understand it, so he smiled and said: "When the teacher told me before, I couldn't understand it at all."
As he spoke, he did not mean to explain, so he added: "Just listen now. When you can understand one day, you will know why 'Jia Yu' can get out of the script."
"Um."
Ji Xun smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your advice."
At this moment, an idea came to his mind. One day in the future, he would really master this ability and write a story about him and Song Yu.
So the fisherman lady, can she also go from the book to the real world?
The two of them played cards in the utility room all afternoon.
Ji Xun also gained a lot.
As Jia Yu said, the "I am the world" inherited by the Light Chaser and [JOKER] do have many overlapping abilities.
Light Chasers are a single generation, and the previous generation of Light Chasers just passed away a few years ago.
This generation of mushroom heads is also dying.
So it has not been passed down yet.
Ji Xun is probably the only card master besides the [Bard] who can learn this forbidden technique of the devil.
Jia Yu didn’t have any reservations.
This mushroom head takes life and death very lightly.
He said that even if he really didn’t live long, it would be good to be a screenwriter.
In his words, if no one writes those stories with pen, who will prove those legends and epics that are submerged in the dust of history?
This is the bard, a profession full of romance.
Ji Xun chatted a lot with this guy.
Those card masters who can advance to legendary level all have top knowledge in a certain field.
And because of his career sequence, Jia Yu really gives people the feeling of being omniscient and omniscient.
Whenever we talked about some confusion, this guy could explain it clearly.
Due to professional reasons, he is better than Gongwu and even better than Master Merlin in expressing things in words.
Ji Xun was like a sponge, absorbing the knowledge crazily.
In the next few days, Ji Xun also went somewhere.
He stayed in Honglou every day, playing cards and chatting with Jia Yu most of the time.
Unconsciously, [The Clown's Shadow Trick] has quietly started.
Jia Yu almost became a useless person.
He also enjoys this kind of leisure.
I just write scripts every day, so I have a lot of free time.
He also enjoys having someone to chat with.
Ji Xun also feels that if conditions permit, he will continue to stay.
However, the accident came suddenly.
The Innocence City exploded because of a piece of news.
No!
Perhaps exactly
The entire Card Master Federation was stunned by the news.
“It’s not good! It’s not good! Something big has happened in the Old Continent!”
"what's the situation?"
“The ‘Cross New City’ built by the Cao family at the Devil’s Cross ruins was destroyed!”
"Huh? The Cao family is one of the top five members of the House of Representatives. Who dares to attack them?"
“The flying dragon is attacking the city! It’s a giant dragon, a real giant dragon! There are also strong men who appear out of nowhere!”
