Chapter 245: Preparation Before Meeting the Parents
The result of Lin Xiao's promotion was not unexpected, but the process really surprised the audience.
While the world was shocked, public opinion in the glorious country was mournful, but many people expressed understanding.
For example, the pets of immortals generally have a lot of origins, so it is not too embarrassing to be killed by the spirit object of the "heavy sword man".
Charlie himself has a more comprehensive understanding of the strength of the epee.
The other party even mastered the power of the law of the soldier master Chiyou.
Even if Charlie is the king of glory, he can't help but feel happy.
Peering into the realm that belongs to the gods, this courage and ability, only one person in the world can have.
Lin Xiao is the first player to advance to the semifinals.
The next game is the semi-finals match between Jolena and Ukizakura's "Amaterasu" Tachibana Chimitsu.
Tachibana Chimitsu is the daughter of the Ukizakura royal family, and is also the current national warrior of Ukizakura, with the Amaterasu bloodline handed down from the Middle Ages, and the folk call him the "Emperor of Light".
The trump card is the legendary "Kusanagi Sword" of Ukizakura.
According to the Kojiki, Suzao used a ten-fist sword to slay the Yagi Orochi, and was surprised to find a sharper Kusanagi sword in the remains of the Yagi Orochi, which has been passed down to this day.
The Kusanagi Sword has extremely strict restrictions on the user's bloodline. The user must possess the bloodline of floating cherry deities such as "Amaterasu" and "Tsukiyomi" in order to unleash the full power of the Kusanagi Sword.
Tachibana Chimitsu's bloodline has been approved by the Kusanagi Sword, and with this artifact alone, she has suppressed all the forces in the Ukizakura Kingdom that are dissatisfied with her female identity.
It is rumored that Tachibana Chikko even received the inheritance of two other artifacts from Floating Sakura, the eight-foot Qiongyu and the Eight Chi Mirror.
As a result, "The Glory King" is seen as a serious contender for the World Final Four.
Jolena has not fully demonstrated the 'tarot card system' since Sharo's return, and she also wants to use this game to test her improvement.
Although for Jolena, it doesn't matter if you win or lose. She had already achieved her own Tinder concept during her travels in Sharo.
But in order to fight side by side with those who are valued, sharpen and maintain their condition, it is necessary.
The showdown between Jolena and Amaterasu will be held tomorrow, and Lin Xiao is ready to go to the scene to cheer for Miss Jones at that time.
After the game, no matter what the result is, Lin Xiao will fulfill the agreement she has made a long time ago - to go to the Federation with her to meet Mr. Jones.
The sense of déjà vu when you bring your boyfriend home to meet your parents......
However, Lin Xiao remembered that the relationship between Jolena and her father was not too harmonious.
The mood was a little nervous, but it was also normal, Lin Xiao decided to improvise.
Night falls.
There are still plenty of posts on the official forums of the tournament about 'Emperor Seals' and 'Explosives'.
Lin Xiao returned to the luxurious suite in the hotel's exclusive hotel, and made an appointment with Jolena to meet at the hotel restaurant, ready to order a seafood feast to reward Dafu.
The Death Spear was also commendable, but it couldn't eat...... Lin Xiao planned to feed it some materials such as 'Rune Runes', and then inject the source power into the body of the gun, which would be regarded as a great health care.
The restaurant is a tranquil setting with simple furnishings, with a black and gold counter and red roses in a vase on a white tablecloth.
Jolena wore a black and red evening dress, with slender legs under the skirt, black and gold heels, and a ponytail hanging down to the back waist, sat down elegantly, and said:
"I thought you'd never ask someone out."
"You're special." Lin Xiao said, "The dress is very beautiful. ”
"You...... Who taught you. ”
"I'm just telling you the truth."
"Hmph...... It doesn't do me any good to compliment me either. Jolene raised her eyes and stared at Lin Xiao, "You didn't know my temper for the first day. ”
"Everybody knows you're beautiful." Lin Xiao gave an example: "The waitress who took the menu from you just now, her heartbeat is much faster than normal. ”
"That's because of you."
"I don't have that much charisma."
"I mean...... Because of you, it is worth it to change into a dress. ”
Jolene said lightly, but the light red of her neck betrayed her mood.
Lin Xiao observed Jolena, nodded and said, "Hmm...... You, like me, are not very good for romance. ”
Jolene glared at Lin Xiao, like a young girl who had been pierced by someone, picked up a goblet with red wine, and changed the topic:
"Shura Warrior God"
"Alright...... A toast to you. Congratulations on making it to the Final Four. ”
The sound of clinking glasses was so crisp that it was like ice cubes swaying in the glass, Lin Xiao raised his glass and said, "Cheers, for Dafu." ”
"Cheers. For Daifuku. The corners of the girl's mouth in the high ponytail rose slightly.
Jolene lifted her swan neck and drank it like a bold drink, and drank it all, her cheeks flushed.
The Eighth Order Card Master was no longer under the influence of alcohol, with the exception of those who were voluntarily drunk.
Lin Xiao smacked the taste of red wine and said, "Your next game ......"
"I don't want to talk about that right now." Jolena leaned back in her chair, her right hand holding her left arm, her cheeks hot.
"Well, then go see your father... The trip to meet Mr. Jones can be scheduled after your race. Lin Xiao said.
Jolena raised her gaze, her eyes shining, "You know...... What does it mean to go to him with me? ”
"It means that before getting engaged, you will strive for the approval of your family." Lin Xiao scratched her cheeks, "I know that we haven't been together for a long time...... But we can slowly cultivate, whether it's feelings, or how you feel about me, and so on. ”
The ice in the ice bucket melted, and ice mist came out, and Jolena's eyes were as bright as rubies, and she whispered, "Idiot." ”
"You're not necessarily smarter than I am." Lin Xiao said.
"Maybe." Jolena smiled slightly and picked up her glass: "Cheers, toast." ”
"You're clearly trying to make an excuse for drinking."
"Cheers!" Jolena exuded a rare coquettish look.
The cheeks of the girl with a high ponytail were crimson, and Lin Xiao was stunned for a while. The bitter aftertaste of red wine welled up on my dry lips, and my body involuntarily raised my glass:
"Cheers."
I don't know how many glasses of wine I drank, the music of the violin lingered in my ears, and the tip of my nose was fragrant, Lin Xiao felt that her internal organs were hot, and even her nerves were relaxed.
Jolena's eyes were hazy, looking at Lin Xiao's cheeks, and her mind flashed with fragmented memories of her mother.
I may not be able to be as free as the wind anymore...... Mom, I put shackles on myself with my own hands.
The phone rings, shattering the bubble-like picture.
Lin Xiao and Jolena woke up in an instant, and their eyes showed the alertness of well-trained warriors.
Lin Xiao connected and said, "Hey...... Is it? ”
His tone was a hint of surprise, and he said, "I'll be here soon." ”
"Still have a mission at this time?" Jolena asked hesitantly, "Do you want me to help......"
"It's Jiuding." Lin Xiao said, "Jiuding has been successfully reforged, and I am now going to the Middle-earth Alliance to get that material." ”
The loot captured after killing Chi You, those weapons forged by Jiuding, Lin Xiao handed them over to Jiang Shang and entrusted craftsmen to recast.
Now Jiuding has been reforged into the iron of Kyushu, which is expected to be the main material for the Meteor Sword to break through the ninth order.
Jolena quickly understood the importance of this and said, "I'll go with you." ”
Lin Xiao pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "It's okay." Introduce you to your friends in the Middle-earth Alliance......"
Jolene gave a blank look: "I'll introduce it myself." ”
The evening breeze is pleasant, the city is full of colors at night, and the viaduct is in a moonlit night.
Lin Xiaogu showed a black motorcycle, turned his head to look, Jolena consciously put on her riding clothes and helmet, and stood aside.
"Okay...... Lin Xiao put on his helmet, "sit in the back row and don't move." ”
"Cut, I'm not a child." Jolene expressed disdain.
A minute later.
Jolena hugged Lin Xiao's waist tightly, her helmet was attached to his back, and she was as well-behaved as a child.
The motorcycle sped through the night, the street lamp swept quickly behind them, and the two of them were close together. Under the mask of the helmet, Jolena's eyes reflected the lights of the city, and a white mist was released.
……
Middle-earth Alliance, conference room.
"It's been included in the cards, and you can find out the details by browsing the cards."
Jiang Shang handed over a flashing iridescent card and said with emotion: "Mythical-level materials...... It's the first time I've seen it. ”
"I'm sorry for you." Lin Xiao thanked him, took the card, and injected a trace of source power into the card, and the corresponding information naturally appeared in his heart.
[Iron of Kyushu, Ninth Order, Quality: Color Myth]
[Description: Dayu casts the iron used in Jiuding, extremely heavy, respectively from the nine states of the Central Continent, the legend symbolizes the power and military power of the whole Central Continent. 】
Lin Xiao was a little excited.
The ninth-order material is one level higher than the 'Philosopher's Stone'!
The phase is also consistent with the Falling Star Sword, and the "Iron of Kyushu" is undoubtedly qualified as the main material for the Falling Star Sword to break through the ninth order!
"Then I'll take it." Lin Xiao looked at Jiang Shang, "Are there any other conditions?" ”
"What other conditions are there." Jiang Shang smiled and said, "If you can break through the ninth order, it is not too much to say that it will benefit all mankind." ”
"I try."
Lin Xiao actually didn't know the bottom of the matter of "becoming a god", after all, the breakthrough of the heart requires an illusory opportunity, just like the Great Desert Battle of the Federation.
At present, his source power is still at the peak of the eighth order.
Obtaining the "Iron of Kyushu" is only the first step, if you want to become a god, you have to collect the rest of the materials and go through a mental journey.
"One more thing......" Jiang Shang's expression was slow and serious, and he glanced at Jolena behind Lin Xiao.
Why did Sha Luo's countryman go with Lin Xiao, Jiang Shang didn't understand, and he didn't ask.
But the next thing, involving [Immortal Bones], is still inconvenient for outsiders to be present.
Qiao Lina understood what Jiang Shang meant, and was about to leave the conference room, Lin Xiao persuaded:
"It's okay, let her be there."
"But......" Jiang Shang wanted to speak and stopped.
"She's my girlfriend." Lin Xiao said.
Jolene crossed her arms and looked away, not sure whether she was happy or shy.
Jiang Shang looked around left and right, stunned for a moment.
Okay, so I'm an outsider?
"Ahem." Jiang Shang clenched his fists and coughed lightly, and said, "I see, I said too much." ”
"Presumably this one, brother and sister ......"
Lin Xiao's indifferent eyes glanced at him, Jiang Shang knew that he couldn't take advantage of his seniority, so he changed his words:
"This Miss Jones also knows about the [Immortal Bones], so I will no longer hide it."
"Actually......" Jiang Shang looked at Lin Xiao, "Zhongzhou has plans to carry out a cooperation with Beidi in the near future, Zhongzhou will provide manpower and material resources to fight against the deep-sea monsters, and Beidi will hand over the immortal bones in the territory to Zhongzhou." ”
Lin Xiao's heart moved, and said, "Immortal bones have been found in the Northland? ”
Jiang Shang shook his head: "It's just that the source force fluctuation has been detected, and it can be determined that an immortal skeleton is located in the Siberian permafrost in the Northland, but the skeleton has not been effectively obtained." ”
"For Augustus......" Jiang Shang paused, "It is a good deal to exchange bones that cannot be used for oneself for real resources." So, she agreed to the cooperation. ”
Lin Xiao was silent for a moment.
I see...... A skeleton is buried in a kingdom.
Like the right arm found in the Federation, the left arm found in Middle-earth, and the left leg given by Jolene by Sharo.
Therefore, in the territory of the Northlands, there will also be an immortal skeleton buried.
Right now, the purpose of the cooperation between Middle-earth and the Northland is to help himself and obtain this immortal bone in the Northland.
"This kindness is too heavy." Lin Xiao said.
"Where is this, you are the martial arts star of Middle-earth." Jiang Shang smiled slightly, his eyes were black and white, "You must know that any country in the world is eager for you to join them." ”
"I won't ask you for anything you can't do, I'm just going to help you as much as I can, just like you've been giving to Middle-earth."
Jiang Shang spoke slowly, his tone suddenly changed, and he said with a smile: "Of course, if you are willing to take my place, it will be great!" ”
Lin Xiao slowly exhaled and said, "I understand." Then you have to help find the immortal bones in the Northlands. ”
"My family doesn't have to talk to each other." Jiang Shang rolled his sleeves, glanced at Jolena, and whispered to Lin Xiao: "You should ...... I won't get rich, so let's marry Sharo. ”
The corners of Lin Xiao's eyes jumped: "Am I that kind of person?" ”
Jiang Shang looked at Lin Xiao deeply and nodded deeply.
Lin Xiao: "Who is your next opponent?" ”
Jiang Shang was surprised: "Why did you suddenly ask this." ”
Lin Xiao: "If he can't kill you, I'll help him." ”
Jiang Shang sneered and said, "This...... I won't bother you. ”
Jiang Shang's next opponent is Brahma Chatian, and he is also an old friend.
After he was saved by Lin Xiao, he returned to the snow mountain to practice, and after reappearing in the rivers and lakes, he reached the quarterfinals all the way to the World Series.
After hearing that Lin Xiao had killed Chi You, Brahma was still very surprised.
I've had a fight before, but I didn't expect my brother to be strong enough to do this!
Brahma thought that he couldn't beat Jiang Shang, but it didn't prevent him from doing his best, and if he earned money, he could donate it to the Snow Mountain Temple, and do good deeds to flush the evil spirit on his body.
Leaving the Middle-earth Alliance, Lin Xiao had two major gains.
The first is to obtain the "Iron of Kyushu", and the second is to collect the "Immortal Bones" in the Northland.
How many immortal bones there were in total, Lin Xiao didn't know.
But put it together...... Probably limbs, plus a head?
In the night, Jolena walked with her arms crossed, looking at Lin Xiao's back, but thinking about something else in her heart.
After the next game, take Lin Xiao and go back to meet your parents......
Jolene made up her mind.
"You have to defeat that Amaterasu."
