Chapter Thirty-Six: Hunter's Place

One class lasted more than two hours.

But it seems that time flies quickly, and it is over in a blink of an eye.

The young hunters were very interested in joining the Stormtroop, and one by one they gathered around the podium and signed up as alternates.

Ji Xun didn't have the idea of joining the team for the time being, and walked out of the Hunter Union Building.

Although this class is all about the basics of spell card masters, it is very rewarding for him.

Before I knew it, I walked to the union bounty hall again.

Ji Xun also stopped to take a look.

As he expected, a few days have passed, and there is still no "wanted warrant" or "bounty" in the innocent city to find him.

The fourth young man of the Cao family was afraid that the news would leak, so he could probably only look for it secretly.

This also made Ji Xun feel that the threat was greatly reduced.

As he walked along, he looked around, but he saw some suspicious guys.

Maybe it's for me, maybe it's something else.

But he wasn't the only one in the city of innocence who had secrets.

Ji Xun didn't take it too seriously.

After all, I didn't catch myself on the train last time, and now it's even more impossible to find it.

......

Ji Xun didn't think much about it, walked out of the building, and continued to wander around the market outside the Hunter Guild.

He was also very interested in the strange items on the stall, so he wandered all the way.

Although these stalls look simple, they are all first-hand goods brought by hunters from the ruins. Extraordinary materials, ancient documents, antiques, drawings, arcane scrolls... Even the stall owners themselves don't know what they're selling.

There are a lot of good things.

But it's all up to luck to pick up something that misses.

After all, out there, inspiration doesn't work all the time.

What is too much beyond cognition, enlightenment will not be revealed, or only partially.

It's like the [Secret Cause Medium] before, when it is not in cognition, you can't even see it.

These days, Ji Xun has gradually figured out some of the rules of this mysterious "enlightenment".

He found that everyone saw different inspirations.

This seems to have something to do with personal perception.

Just like Ji Xun himself, there are some words in his cognition, such as "BOSS" or something, but this world doesn't have this concept at all.

But enlightenment will show.

In other words, enlightenment is a special form of expression that is higher than the existing human cognition and is not limited to the type of text.

Ji Xun didn't think it was strange.

There can be a kind of "miracle" in the extradimensional space, there are too many secrets in this world.

It was this sense of mystery that made him feel more and more interesting.

After visiting a few stalls along the way, Ji Xun's gaze suddenly stopped in the distance.

He saw two beggars on the side of the road.

It was a dirty little girl of seven or eight years old, holding a child who looked like her younger brother. The siblings snuggled up to a smudged blanket and stared blankly at the people coming and going, hunger written on their faces.

There are two kinds of beggars in the City of Innocence, one is a thief, and the other is a true orphan.

In this sin city, human life is not valuable. The mortality rate of hunters is high, and there are many such orphans.

There are pedestrians who have become numb to the sight.

Most of the people in the City of Innocence are bloodthirsty wolves, and no one will pity the weak.

Ji Xun thought of something, took something by his hand, and walked over.

He squatted in front of his sister and brother, smiled and asked, "Little girl, what is your name?" ”

As he spoke, he took off his gas mask, and as if by magic, his face changed to that of a clown with a funny red nose.

Just the bright smile on his face, as if people see it, will be amused and happy.

The elder sister's eyes were still cold because of hunger, and the younger brother reached out curiously, as if to touch the clown mask.

Ji Xun didn't care, but grinned, "I'll do a magic trick for you." ”

As he spoke, in the eyes of the two sisters and brothers, he finally had a little curiosity, he stretched out his hand, flipped over the magic hand, and signaled that his hand was empty.

"Look at it."

At this time, the smile on the clown's face was even brighter, he put his left hand horizontally in front of him as if he was hiding something, and then his right hand made a gesture of grabbing something, pulling and pulling in the mouth of the tiger in his left hand...

In the next second, his brother's clear eyes suddenly lit up, because he watched a piece of black thing being pulled out!

There is also a hint of freshly baked wheat bread.

The younger brother seemed to see the most incredible picture in his life, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and exclaimed: "Sister, it's bread!" Bread! ”

"Yes~Look how long it is~"

The clown is immersed in the performance, but his movements are not finished.

He kept pumping and pumping, and he drew an arm's thick piece of black bread longer and longer.

As if by magic, he pulled out a black loaf of bread longer than his forearm.

Looking at this magical scene, the younger brother danced excitedly, pulled his sister's shirt, and said excitedly: "Sister, sister, look, this gentleman has really conjured a loaf of bread!! ”

It's just a little trick that a lot of magicians do.

But at this moment, on those two innocent little faces, it seems that there is light in the whole world, shining into the heart shrouded in clouds, as if the body is warm all of a sudden.

Seeing this, the arc of the clown's exaggerated red smiley face was pulled to the corner of his eye. He handed the bread over, and there was no mercy for the weak, only the kindness of equality to be felt: "Eat." Sent to you. ”

With a bread, my sister and brother will not go hungry for two days.

No money was given, because it was clear that they couldn't hold it.

The two siblings holding the bread trembled with excitement, and at last, the dull tone of the little face gradually brightened.

When the clown saw this, he also smiled with satisfaction.

The moment he got up and put on his gas mask again, his eyes had changed back to cold.

Ji Xun turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, my sister's hurried voice came from behind me: "Thank you, sir." My name is... Peaceful. ”

Hearing this, under the gas mask, Ji Xun smiled slightly.

But he didn't look back, and just left.

Obviously, he has a very bad life, but he can't see the suffering of others.

That's probably a clown.

Life is kissed bitterly, but he always laughs in return.

Make others happy with their burlesque performances.

Ji Xun thought about it, and a thought came to him.

If it weren't for the kind bearded man in the parade circus, maybe there would have been a little boy who froze to death in the cave by the railroad in that cold winter.

.......

It's like encountering a little episode in life, and I can't talk about much intention, just casual kindness.

Or is it an occupational disease that has been played as a clown for many years and engraved in his bones?

Probably.

Ji Xun didn't pay attention to it at all.

He walked all the way and soon came to a shop with a sign that read "Old Man Benson's Antique Shop".

The wooden board at the door also reads: Sell all kinds of ancient books.

It's a small bookstore that sells breathing, card-crafting books, and all sorts of magic books.

Last time, Ji Xun's [Great Dark Breathing Method] was bought in this shop.

The small shop is not big, but it has a good reputation in the hunter circle, the price is fair, and many hunters like to sell things here, so there are a lot of good things.

He had come to see more of the others.

"Boss, the [Great Dark Breathing Method] I bought last time is very useful. Worth! ”

As soon as he entered the door, Ji Xun first gave a rainbow fart, and then said, "This time I want to see the others." ”

"Oh. Take a look. ”

Saying this, the boss also seemed to remember that this was a repeat customer. The words "don't flip around" swallowed in his mouth, and he let him look through some less important books.

Ji Xun was not polite, so he looked at it in the shop.

I can't read the classics of those breathing methods or anything, but the ancient words on the stone tablets and antiques can be displayed.

It doesn't matter if you can't read it or not, the key is that he "never forgets"!

As long as you read it carefully, these things will be remembered in your mind.

Knowledge is the most valuable thing at all times.

In fact, the words and symbols of any civilization have rules at all, and as long as there are enough references, they can even be interpreted slowly.

Whether it's pictographs, ideographic symbols, or phonetic alphabets... It's all true.

The same is true of the mystical symbols and spells of this world.

The essence is to use patterns to express something that the writer wants to express.

Ji Xun felt that as long as he had memorized enough symbols, he could even slowly interpret the ancient documents of this world.

The secrets of the world will naturally open the door.

Looking at these classics, Ji Xun suddenly felt that his ability to never forget seemed to be a good choice to transfer to a few scholars in the [5-Wisdom] sequence or a card master profession in the future?

In this way, he quickly flipped through the store, and his mind was like a typewriter, engraved all kinds of mysterious symbols.

......

Because Ji Xun was distracted, he saw it quickly, and in the eyes of others, he just flipped through it casually.

The boss didn't say anything either.

There were a lot of people coming and going, and Ji Xun only glanced at it occasionally and didn't care.

Unconsciously, a new customer suddenly came to the store, and the person arrived before he could say anything: "Old man, is there any new goods coming?" ”

Ji Xun didn't care about it originally.

Listening to the voice, I instinctively glanced sideways.

But when the boss listened to the inquiry, he stood up with a bone, and his tone actually carried a hint of flattery about the arrival of distinguished guests?

"Ouch, there is! Yes! Yes! ”

As he spoke, he took out a large stack of black-and-white photos from the storage ring, and explained enthusiastically: "These are the latest ancient documents that hunters have found recently. If you want the original, I'll go to the warehouse and find it for you. ”

The man responded, "Not for now, I'll take a look." ”

Ji Xun was also stunned when he heard this: ???

This old man usually ignores anyone, and he would be so enthusiastic about this guest?

Honorifics are also used.

What is the origin of this man?

He glanced out of the corner and saw a woman in a black motorcycle leather coat entering the door. The figure is exquisite, and the tight leather coat just outlines the exquisiteness. But she was wearing a half-face gas mask, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but her eyes were sharp.

Ji Xun didn't care much about her appearance, but saw the mechanical equipment on her body at first sight.

Although a large part of it was hidden under his clothes, Ji Xun caught a glimpse of a detail, and he immediately recognized what it was.

It was definitely the most sophisticated mechanical equipment he had ever seen.

TR-33 military individual exoskeleton? Anyone can get their hands on this thing?

Haven't seen it, but heard of it.

It is said to be one of the most advanced individual equipment in the federal military at the moment, and it is "contraband" to appear anywhere outside of the army!

It's not easy.

Ji Xun guessed the identity of the leather-clothed woman in his heart, and glanced at the stack of photos handed out by the boss again.

The photographs are all kinds of ancient books, scrolls, or stone carvings or something, and pictures with text.

And there are also some drawings.

Ji Xun saw at a glance that these were all ancient documents related to machinery.

The steam machinery of this world is not a product of scientific research, but an archaeological product. Just like the architectural level of the "Demon Cross" ruins, it is immortal for thousands of years, and it is difficult to replicate even now.

The woman in leather seemed to be very interested in the content of the photo, and looked at it very attentively, but she also frowned, obviously not understanding: "Old man, have you found someone who can translate these mechanical drawings?" ”

The boss responded, "No." The few scholars I know of are only scratching the surface of Talen, and they can't translate a lot of technical terms on mechanical drawings. If you want to say that there are polymaths who are proficient in the ancient Talen language, probably only Dragon City has it. ”

“...”

The woman in leather also sounded a little helpless, just the paintings on the drawings could not meet the needs at all.

Ji Xun listened and took a look at the photo more.

There are some strange symbols on it, and this is the Talen language.

A text that is said to be a dynastic civilization thousands of years ago.

It wasn't until the Old World was discovered across the rift that people were sure that the legendary mysterious civilization really existed.

Ji Xun has seen this kind of writing.

The first time was in 407 Extradimensional Space.

The Demon Cross is actually the remains of the castle of the Talon Dynasty.

The 407 dungeon restricts the entry of the cardmaster apprentice, and the difficulty is very high. At that time, the reason why he was able to understand it was all because of the enlightenment of the rules of space itself.

Thinking of this, a thought popped up in Ji Xun's mind: "Huh... If you get that material in your hands, wouldn't you be able to master some ancient characters..."

The materials found in the safe were stacked thickly.

Not to mention the content, but only the value of the text, it is definitely two different things from these fragmentary and fragmented documents on the photos in front of you.

And the death crisis at that time deepened the memory, and Ji Xun can still remember a lot of content now.

With accurate meaning references, it's much easier to decipher.

It's a pity that the material is there in the ninth year of the first month.

I don't know if she took it out of the space.

The thought flashed, and Ji Xun restrained his thoughts.

......

The girl in leather continued to look at the photo, picking out some from time to time and asking the boss to prepare the originals to take away.

Ji Xun didn't have this kind of VIP treatment, if he could watch it, he would finish watching it quickly.

He didn't plan to spend too much time in this store, there were many other stores to visit. Finally, something came to mind, and he casually asked, "Boss, do you have the kind of breathing method here that can absorb several elements at the same time?" ”

changed someone, and the boss really changed back to the attitude of ignoring the answer, and said indifferently: "No." ”

After a pause, he didn't forget to complain: "You're weird." The more refined the mana, the safer and more efficient it will be to release the card technique, and the smaller the probability of losing control when you advance. Would you like more? ”

“...”

Ji Xun was also expected to hear it.

He had already looked at it carefully, and all the breathing techniques were a single element.

Originally, it was just a casual question.

He thinks that it is probably the same as the boss said, absorbing the magic power condensed by a single element is the right way? Or maybe the store is aimed at ordinary people, and hasn't touched on those rare breathing methods yet?

But thinking that no matter what, if you can't find a suitable breathing method, your talent for all-element tolerance will be wasted.

It's a shame.

didn't get the desired result, Ji Xun turned around and prepared to leave the shop.

But I didn't think about it at this time, but the woman in the motorcycle leather coat suddenly spoke, and said lightly: "Do you want to need a multi-element breathing method?" ”
