When Kenshin was very young, his father taught him, "At all times, remember to maintain a good image, stand in a standing posture, and sit in a sitting position." ”

"Most people only see us on the outside, on the outside, as we look in the eyes of others."

Kenshin has always kept this in mind.

The father himself did the same.

He always wears a clean white or green close-fitting long-sleeved shirt with a black or gray tank top over it, straight-leg trousers, and a short ponytail tied behind his head.

Although they are all daily wear, proper and proper clothing, coupled with the father's tall and straight body, always makes people shine and give people a sense of reliable trust.

After settling in Shacheng, my father made many friends, both male and female.

For example, the famous legendary doctor Funeral Corner, who would come over every month and ask his father to give him a haircut. Sometimes he would bring a bottle of wine to thank his father for his skill.

"Ji Cheng, your haircutting skills are really amazing."

The funeral doctor often sighed to the mirror: "Is this also the function of the secret method?" ”

"Nope."

My father just smiled and said, "It's just skilled." ”

Kenshin remembers that his father had said that he was from a distant arcane country. It was a magical and chaotic country, with various secret societies and organizations, and a variety of secret spells and spells.

The source of each spell can be traced back to the old gods, and the mystics are the inheritors of the power of the old gods.

For his hometown, my father does not miss it.

"There are some places that still exist in memories."

"It's not bad to think about it now, but if I were to go back and live in that chaotic and precarious place, it would be torture and pain."

My father was a talkative man.

He always patiently answered Kenshin's doubts.

"Your mother's name is Negative Sword Bing, she is a swordsman of the Negative Sword Clan, and she died in a large blood tide in the Blood Mound World."

"The Blood Tide is a blood elemental riot, a natural catastrophe, just like the sandstorm outside of our Sand City. The Blood Tide will be accompanied by the appearance of powerful Blood Elemental Monsters, and many warriors have died in that response to the Blood Tide. They are all amazing heroes who have protected more civilians who have no power. ”

"As for where she is now, whether she is a ghost or has returned to the Sea of Destruction, I don't know, maybe one day she will come back to see us when she is tired of cultivation."

The father spoke of his mother's death in a calm and unpretentious way.

In addition to his mother's whereabouts, Kenshin is also interested in his father's secret methods.

"I've been using my secret method all along."

Father said with a smile.

"This secret method is called [Charm Technique], which can make people easily accepted and liked by everyone, and it is an innate ability of our family."

"Charisma can make it easy to get to know people, but that's just the beginning, because the process and the outcome are unpredictable."

The father was able to travel from south to north, get the hair-cutting skills passed on by the dwarves of the short-bearded clan, gain a foothold in Shacheng, and get the favor of his cold and arrogant mother, all of which are inseparable from this secret method.

Kenshin didn't inherit this charm, nor did he get the innate swordsmanship talent of his mother's sword-bearer family.

He studied in the swordsman department of the local "Forest Academy" in Shacheng, and his ultimate goal was to enter Qianyuan Mountain for further study. However, due to the fact that his grades are really indescribable, he failed to graduate for six years, and finally Kenshin had to leave school.

And after working as a swordsman in the [Transcendent Guild] for a few years, Kenshin's elemental magic sword ability suddenly increased day by day, not only comprehending [Avoidance] and [Stubbornness], but also awakening the [Theological] characteristics.

It's as if some kind of switch has been turned on.

Jian thought that it might be his pious prayer to the god Yao that caused the gods to take mercy.

The following year, Kenshin found himself particularly prone to making friends. Even if he was just standing there waiting for someone, the men and women passing by might come to say hello, chat with him, and want to get acquainted with him.

Unlike his father, his awakened [Charm Technique] only has an effect on the opposite sex, and actively activating it will amplify his ability, which can be regarded as an advanced level of Charm Technique.

Kenshin wasn't happy either.

A lot of things in the world are time-sensitive.

When I was a child, I liked a wooden sword very much, thinking that it was the best treasure in the world, and if I could get it, I would have the whole world.

But after that time, it will no longer be so necessary for the wooden sword.

In the past, Kenshin worked very hard to study the swordsman department, wanting to enter Qianyuan Mountain to become a high-profile and admired elemental swordsman, but now he no longer has this idea.

One day, Kenshin suddenly didn't want to work anymore.

I am not the extravagant and wasteful type, I only need three meals a day. I saved a little money, plus a large sum of money sent by my father, and it was enough to save a little money for a lifetime.

So Kenshin changed his life.

He lived in the Immortal City for a year, playing ice hockey with the giants, teaching the Nibelungen the basics of swordsmanship, and visiting the statue-like Apostolic Blood Knight by the Inexhaustible Fountain.

Then he went to the Bamboo Reed Country and the Ghost Realm adjacent to Shacheng, where he played the local Arhat game with the bamboo people in the [Huanshan City], and also discussed the postpartum care of slugs with the ghosts in the [Black Stone City].

Kenshin travels between cities that are either rich or distinctive, and eventually he goes to the Abyssal Four Directions, where he joins the "Old God Society".

The most important feature of this secret society is that it is relaxed and fun, and everyone gathers regularly to talk about their strange experiences and study the old gods as a common hobby.

Everyone drank tea and honey wine while chatting from all over the world.

Kenshin likes this kind of gathering where everyone sits around the fire and tells stories.

What he didn't expect was that there were also some official scholars in the "Old Gods Society", such as the red-haired potions master of the White Castle, Maji, who was also one of the patrons of the organization.

Magi had been a monk in the Abyss for two years, and now worked on potions-related research at the White Castle.

His greatest perk for the Old Gods was to provide some delicious tomato sauce, a rare jam that was not available outside.

"The Old Gods are a special group of gods. They have fallen in name, but their power has not disappeared completely, but exists in a way that we cannot yet comprehend. ”

Maji said seriously: "I hope you can continue to observe and record. One day, the veil of the old gods will be lifted by us, and you will also go down in history as heroes of the Yao clan. ”

For various reasons, neither the seminary nor the White Castle has conducted in-depth research on the field of the Old Gods for the time being.

Therefore, Maji has high hopes for the "Old God Society" and gives a lot of help.

Kenshin originally thought that the power of the old gods should be just a rumor. It wasn't until he once went back to Sand City to visit his father that he saw for himself the methods of the gods in the desert.

The desert rises high and rises as if pulled into the air by an invisible hand, and the dunes writhe slowly like currents.

Strange black and silver lines emerged from it, and these lines slowly condensed on the ground, like metal earthworms.

The magic sword on the back of the sword heart was unsheathed, but it was completely impossible to enter that strange area.

[Theological] power can be sensed, and it is a manifestation of divine power and miracles.

Upon his return, Kenshin shared this information with the Old Gods Society.

He also began to believe that the old gods might really still be in this world, that they existed in an invisible way.

Since then, Kenshin has been actively collecting information everywhere.

He bought a [Wind Collector Crystal] and began to photograph possible traces of the Old Gods everywhere.

Whether it's a suspicious and special phenomenon, or a strangely shaped rocks and trees, or a group dressed strangely in a secret ritual, Kenshin freezes it into the crystal.

In the process, Kenshin also encountered a lot of trouble, and he was often discovered, blamed and questioned, but the biggest trouble was the woman.

The women would always appear in front of him while he was filming and chat with him.

Growing up, he was very concerned by the opposite sex.

Whether it's the fluffy war cats, or the normal Yao human girls, or the vampire girls, or the dryad girls, they all have a special favor for Kenshin, always smiling at him and wanting to make friends with him.

As a child, Kenshin felt that this was a completely shameful annoyance. It's not a great talent at all, it's just handsome.

As he grew up, he gradually reconciled with himself.

His talents are just popular with women.

These female friends have also become Kenshin's best source of information. Some of them have also become his past girlfriends, or current girlfriends, or future girlfriends.

One day, Kenshin receives reliable news from a girlfriend that traces of the Old Gods have appeared in the Mystic Kingdom.

So he packed his bags and rushed over as fast as he could.

Although the Mystic Kingdom is the ancestral hometown, Kenshin has very few times in the past.

Because he doesn't like the environment over there.

Most of the cities and settlements in the Mystic Kingdom are chaotic, with poor public security, and indescribable sanitary conditions, full of drunks and homeless people, and from time to time, some madmen who have drunk secret medicine may appear to blow themselves up and attack indiscriminately.

In that environment, just being safe every day is a challenge.

It's normal for my father to have no feelings for that side after he left.

Girlfriend Ao Shen held the sword heart and was unwilling to let go for a long time.

In the end, Kenshin had to push her away resolutely: "Get down to business." ”

Ao Shen said in a calm tone that was completely different from the warm body: "There are dragon footprints here. ”

"Dragons?"

"Yes. A powerful pure dragon, but you can't see what it looks like, only huge footprints and claw marks. There are also traces of Kamui around. ”

Ao Shen said with a serious face: "To hide a huge and powerful dragon clan, only a god can do it. The gods of the Mystic Kingdom, from the previous Mystic Star Raven Lord to the current Seven Sea Monsters, have sent apostles everywhere to investigate this matter, but nothing has come of it. ”

"All I can think of is that it might have something to do with the Old Gods. That's why I thought of you. ”

"Hmm."

For Ao Shen's words, Kenshin trusted him very much.

Because the girl standing in front of her had two small forked horns on her head. She is a dragonborn and is naturally sensitive to the power and aura of dragons.

"But you have to be careful."

The dragon maiden's face was serious: "Not long ago, that invisible dragon destroyed the headquarters of the Black Templar, and its origin seems to be related to the mysterious Templar Master. It is rumored that the Holy Relics of the Templar Lord were lost in the Resurrection Kingdom, causing the Templar Lord's anger to send down the Dragon Calamity......"

"We, the Temple of the Four Seas, performed sacrifices to the heavens and prayed for blessings, but we can't know the name and response of the dragon. If the person who comes is not good, it is likely to be the old god of the evil dragon, you have to be extra careful, safety first. ”

Kenshin nodded: "I mainly focus on taking crystal images, and I won't clash with dragons." ”

"Anyway, I'll take you to the Four Seas Temple first, and let the Dragon Ancestor give you some blessings. In this way, with the blessing of the god Yao, the blessing of the messenger, and the addition of the dragon ancestor, you will be much safer. ”

Ao Shen took his hand without doubt and walked towards the coast.

She asked as she walked, "I heard that the holy relics of the altar are in the hands of the Yao clan, is that so?" ”

"I don't know."

Kenshin said, "This kind of secret is probably known only to the gods and the apostles. ”
