Chu Jiu is indeed a descendant of the royal family of Augustus, yes.

But as an illegitimate daughter, she has never enjoyed any royal treatment since she was a child, and she doesn't feel that she has anything special.

There were some old ministers in the royal court who did not give up kneeling and bowing, but she had never been treated like this.

What's more, the one who bowed down to herself was still a senior who didn't know how long she had lived, and was older than the oldest and oldest elders she had ever seen.

Chu Jiu looked at the rickety old woman who was humbly prostrate on the ground in front of her, and the kindness in her heart made her a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "Senior, you don't have to make this big gift. And if you admit that you are wrong, I and I are not 'Your Majesty'. ”

She thought that the other party thought of herself as the current king of Oran.

This misunderstanding must be explained.

But as soon as these words came out, I didn't think that the old woman not only didn't get up, but responded to herself: "The old slave is the official of the palace canonized by His Majesty Krosa, and he is also the protector of the tomb appointed by Lord Nan, and he was ordered to guard the ancestral tomb here."

It seems that I haven't spoken to a living person for a long time, and I have forgotten some of the ability to communicate with people, and this is intermittent.

Occasionally, I seem to have forgotten how to organize my language, and I have to pause for a moment to recall before I can continue.

However, when such words were spoken, Ji Xun and the three of them listened to it, and they all felt a shock in their hearts.

"Kroshar" is a title for the last emperor of Talen, the "Mad King" Alduin.

This is the official phrase in the history books.

And this position of the chief of the palace is a bit like the "chief eunuch", and he can be regarded as a first-class real power figure within the dynasty.

None of these titles matter.

The important thing is to say a simple sentence to make the three of them realize that the old woman in front of them is an old Talen minister three thousand years ago!

The three of them could tell from their appearance that this old woman was very old.

But I didn't expect it to be so old!

People from 3,000 years ago?

No.

Ji Xun observed again and made sure that the old woman in front of him was not a "person".

She does not have the "qi" of a living person.

To be precise, it should be a necromancer like a lich.

Being able to live for so long is enough to prove that this old woman is definitely not simple.

As soon as the identity was revealed, the sense of history came to my face.

Ji Xun looked at it and suddenly had a very strange feeling.

This old woman seems to be involved in an incomparably long line of fate.

It involves dynastic luck, civilization changes, and historical truth.

This is a living witness to history.

She connects the Talon dynasty of 3,000 years ago with the present era.

Like the words in a history book, she, like those ancient relics, is the carrier of that glorious history.

It was only when he heard this unbelievable identity that Chu Jiu felt even more unbearable. After rescuing the shock in her heart for a moment, she said again: "Senior, you admit that you are wrong, I am not the king of Augustus."

The Tarun has collapsed, and the royal family no longer exists.

But she didn't dare to say it directly, for fear that some words would stimulate this remnant of the former dynasty.

And if you really want to say, Arthur is the heir to the throne.

However, unexpectedly, the old woman decided something, and said very solemnly: "Your Majesty." The ancestor of the Talon royal family, who can fuse the seal of royal power and is crowned by the high priest of the court, is the only legitimate heir to the royal power of the empire."

Saying this, Chu Jiu and Nan Jing's expressions were stunned at the same time.

Because they really know that!

I've heard it many times since I was a child.

Even Ji Xun thought of a sentence he had seen in a book that introduced the court etiquette of the Orlan royal family before: rights will become terrifying monsters if they are not restricted.

This is why the high priest of the royal court has almost the same rights as the king.

In order to make the royal power bound.

At this time, the old woman continued: "There was a descendant of the royal family who used a ritual to awaken the ancestral spirit of the tomb protector in the mausoleum of His Majesty Krosa. I saw it too, but didn't respond to him. Although he fused the [Tyrant] mark, his qualifications were too mediocre, and he barely succeeded in fusing it by relying on the royal power holy weapon, and his luck was still far behind. Moreover, the high priest he brought with him was not Nan-sama."

As he spoke, he respectfully glanced at Nanjing.

This "Nanda" refers to a certain Miss Marukotou.

No wonder when I saw Nanjing just now, my attitude immediately changed.

Saying this, Ji Xun and the three of them also understood everything at the same time.

It turns out that Augustus's heir to the throne is not just to fuse the two source cards of [White Queen] or [Tyrant].

It is also indispensable to require the approval of the high priest.

It is true that Arthur is the king, but he did not wait for the approval of Nanjing's mother, and later imprisoned the person and let the Bai family receive the position of high priest.

And the ninth day of junior high is different.

She fits the bill perfectly.

Not only did he fuse the [White Queen], but he was also accompanied by the high priest of Nanjing.

This means that she is the rightful heir to the throne in Augustus's ancestral teachings.

At this moment, Ji Xun finally completely relieved himself.

It was this question that he was most worried about just now.

Because Arthur obtained the permission of the Mad King's Imperial Mausoleum, he almost let Chu Jiu die in that underground palace.

Ji Xun is also afraid that the person in front of him may be manipulated by some authority and threaten them.

This is said to be better than the ninth day of the junior high school.

That being said, she didn't feel like a king, and she wasn't interested.

She wants to fight for those inheritances, but she just wants to become stronger, for the sake of that unfair fate.

However, the mausoleum keeper in front of her said that this was like this, and she didn't know how to speak again.

There was a moment of silence.

After all, Chu Jiu couldn't bear to look at the old man kneeling on the ground, and said, "Senior, please get up." ”

The old woman seemed to have some kind of deep-rooted thoughts, and said stubbornly: "The old slave is a wisp of soul guarding the ancestral tomb, and he can't afford to be treated like this by His Majesty."

Ji Xun: "."

Nanjing: "."

Ninth Month: "."

The three of them were silent.

It is really incomprehensible to look at the court rules of 3,000 years ago with the concept of this federal era.

Not only does this old woman look like a zombie crawling out of a graveyard, but even her thoughts exude a rotten aura everywhere. But they have been loyal to their duties for three thousand years, and this alone is enough to make the hearts of the three of them awe-inspiring.

Chu Jiu knew that he couldn't do it, so he organized the language, still used honorifics, and said, "Then you get up." ”

Hearing this, the old woman got up: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Ji Xun watched from the sidelines, and his eyes were full of essence.

Who was the orthodox successor to Augustus can be discussed later.

At present, because of the arrival of this mysterious person, it seems that all the predicament has been solved.

Before Ji Xun came, he already had a psychological prediction that this place must be more dangerous than the Mad King's Mausoleum.

And so it is.

The mausoleum keeper who has lived for 3,000 years is here, enough to block everything.

Thanks to Nan Jing and Chu Jiu, otherwise Ji Xun felt that even if he was a few steps higher, it would be absolutely impossible for him to touch such a person who had been written into history.

At the same time, Ji Xun was also looking forward to it.

There are so many treasures in the previous Mad King Mausoleum, so how is this Augustus Ancestral Tomb?

Ji Xun is not dreaming of making a fortune when he thinks about those treasures.

Rather, they are interested in the secrets of those dusty histories and otherworldly planes.

The emperors of the Talon Dynasty are buried here, so how many secrets must be buried?

The Founding Emperor "Lanlingster M. Augustus: "Is he also buried here?"

Also, what really happened to the Talon Dynasty back then?

There is a living witness to history, and no one can answer the questions that the three of them discussed all the way before?

Thinking of this, Ji Xun also sighed at the magic of fate.

At present, there is basically no need to think about exploring on your own, just follow along.

As for safety, traps, traps, prohibitions. Don't worry about it.

If the other party has malicious intent, there is absolutely no other means, just this psychedelic forest is enough to trap them.

Chu Jiu on the side glanced at Ji Xun and guessed his thoughts, so he said directly: "Senior, I want to go to the ancestral spirit to see."

The old woman responded: "Of course." The existence of the ancestral tomb was originally for the continuation of the inheritance of the Augustan royal family. Your Majesty is here, and there are some things that the old slave should hand over to you. ”

As she spoke, she leaned on crutches and led the three of them towards the depths of the thick fog: "Your Majesty, please come with the old slave." ”

The three of them followed the old woman all the way into the psychedelic forest.

It didn't take long for the three of them to come out of the fog.

The necromantic aura around them was already thick and viscous as porridge, and after walking in, it made people feel like they were falling into an ice cave.

It is also thanks to Ji Xun's three people's extraordinary means.

Otherwise, these necromantic qi alone would be enough to make it difficult for ordinary adventurers to move an inch.

Ji Xun looked at it and sighed in his heart: "It's really a good place to practice."

He can absorb any element, and the efficiency of practicing here is definitely several times higher than that of other places.

But seeing this living environment, he thought of how powerful the necromancer must be this mysterious old man?

After walking for about a kilometer or two, it looked like I had walked into some kind of enchantment.

Hard stones can be seen all around.

This is the Asgardian Divine Stone.

Seen in the mausoleum before.

The stone was fragmentary, and it looked like a stonemason had carved something and left it behind.

Ji Xun thought that they would go directly to a special mausoleum.

However, after walking for a while, the old woman in front suddenly stopped, and said apologetically to Chu Jiu: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, this is not a place where the living will come, so it's a little cold, and I'll treat you slowly."

As she spoke, she waved the cane in her hand, and the prohibition that seemed to interfere with her perception disappeared.

Only then did Ji Xun and the three of them see the true appearance in front of them.

The surrounding environment is very rudimentary, like a quarry.

Except for a small house made of broken stones, there was no construction at all.

This is the abode of the mausoleum keepers.

The stones are all [Asgardian Divine Stones], which would not have surprised Ji Xun originally.

But on these stones in front of me, there are countless mystical symbols densely carved.

It looks like a religious scripture, but it's not just a few characters, it's also a huge and mysterious thing.

But it's not the ancient Talen language of the mausoleum, it's not the language of demons, it's not the mystical symbol of the common incantation system.

Ji Xun wanted to see what those symbols were.

But just by looking at it, the symbols in the field of vision seemed to be densely surging, bursting into the sea of knowledge, making people's thoughts stiffen.

"Hypercognitive high-level information!"

Ji Xun had been trained by Master Merlin before, and he knew what it was like.

He realized that something was wrong, and quickly retracted his eyes.

The junior high school and the southern mirror on the side are higher than him, and their situation is much better.

But it was also found that there was a problem with the symbols carved on the stele.

This has to be replaced by a low-level card master, and I'm afraid that I will have a nervous breakdown at a glance.

At this time, the old woman on the side noticed the recklessness of the three of them, but only glanced at Ji Xun, and reminded her: "This is 'Little Luen', young man, your current realm, it is too reluctant to read." ”

Ji Xun's expression froze: "Little Lune? The Heights of Lune? ”

He suddenly realized what this was.

"Lune" is an ancient saying, and when translated, it means the symbolic embodiment of the laws of the universe.

This is an existence that is older than the higher languages of the Demon Language, the Protoss Language, and the Dragon Language.

Ji Xun had heard from people in the Southern Continent about the use of Luen before, but at this moment, he couldn't understand exactly what this term was referring to.

Saying that, the old woman changed her respectful tone again, and explained to Chu Jiu: "Your Majesty, this is the old slave who has been silent all these years, and some of the comprehensions of the [Great Emperor's Stone Tablet] have been carved casually. Although the above is a little bit of a superficial understanding of the laws of the universe, it is difficult for card masters below the seventh order to bear it."

Ji Xun and the three of them didn't know what to do.

But apparently, the other party thought they knew what "Little Lune" was.

This cognitive gap made the three of them at a loss.

Ji Xun is an outsider and is not easy to speak.

If you ask the other party, you may not be able to deal with it.

Chu Jiu understood very tacitly, and said modestly: "Senior." I'm sorry, but because the lineage I've been exposed to has been broken, I don't quite understand what you just said about 'Little Rune.'"

"You"

The old woman was obviously surprised that the three of them didn't even know about Run, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything, and asked instead, "How many years has it been Tarun now?" ”

Ji Xun: "."

Nanjing: "."

Ninth Month: "."

The three of them looked at each other with strange expressions, not knowing how to speak.

Tarun collapsed.

It is now the federal calendar

Oh no, after Arthur's restoration, he followed the Oran calendar.

It seemed that there was a lot of communication, and the old woman seemed to gradually become normal, she guessed something, sighed, as if she realized that she had asked the wrong thing, and said to herself: "So it seems that the empire has collapsed?"

Chu Jiu listened, nodded and responded, "Hmm." ”

Old woman: "How long has it been?" ”

Chu Jiu: "It's been 3,000 years. ”

"Oh. It turned out to be so long. ”

The old woman sighed.

Oh, yes

It's been a long, long time, so long that she can't even forget her name.

Chu Jiu looked at the traces left by time on the old woman's face, and her deep pupils were also filled with a touch of unbearable.

Although she has no sense of belonging to the Augustan bloodline, it is difficult not to respect this veteran who has been loyal to her bloodline for three thousand years.

She explained simply: "The empire collapsed, the royal family went to the Eastern Wilderness, and some people went to the Southern Continent. The inheritance was thus broken. It was only recently that we came back to me to find out what had happened back then. ”

"I see"

The old woman seemed to understand everything at this point, and sighed: "It turns out that the preparations made by Nanda people were predicted of this result."

When Ji Xun and the three of them heard these words to themselves, they all realized that that dusty history was about to unveil the mystery to them.

"Oh, yes. The old rulers who woke up back then, talked about their names, and ordinary people would be polluted. This is the only way to take the initiative to break the civilization and isolate it for preservation and continuation."

"What happened back then? That has to start from the last era."

"The wise and great Lanlingster the Great, ending the chaotic era in which the old rulers ruled with fear, the Great expelled the Ice Giants from the extremely cold Ice Ridge Wasteland, the Darkspawn to the depths of the Abyssal Rift, the Flame Demon to the depths of the Crypt, and all the alien races that threatened the continuation of the Kashi civilization from Middle-earth. The Taron Empire was founded. ”

"The empire has been glorious for tens of thousands of years, but after several royal power struggles, the fortunes of the country have weakened a lot. By the time His Majesty Krosa was in power, the dynasty was riddled with famines, pestilences, and wars."

"The Old Gods Sect has sprung up. This is the 'Rebellion of the Outer Gods' that has been in turmoil for a hundred years."

“.”

This beginning is like listening to a mythical story.

Ji Xun and the three listened with relish.

Only then did they know that in addition to the Eastern Wilderness and the Southern Continent, there were other continents?

And so many powerful aliens?

The "Age of Chaos" before the Taron Empire, how exciting was that?

Ji Xun listened to these stories, in fact, he had already deduced them before.

After all, this old woman is a minister of Tarun, and she is still very tactful.

It is said to be a natural disaster, but it is actually a man-made disaster.

The dynasty is rotten, and all kinds of demons and monsters have come out.

Jia Yu has talked about the essence of the belief in the old gods before, and there is a sentence that Ji Xun is deeply impressed: Only suffering will make people believe in the gods and pray for miracles.

If you can eat and drink enough on your own, people will believe in themselves more.

This is also the source of the spread of all kinds of bizarre sect beliefs.

But then, Ji Xun didn't know the ancient secrets.

The old woman continued: "Actually, the cholera epidemic has been planted in the last era a long time ago, and that is a few mysterious 'clay pots'. No one knows where they came from, or who made them. But there is something terrifying sealed in the jar. They represent the evil, chaos and disorder of the world, and even the Great Lanlingster did not dispose of the jars. It can only be sealed."

"Later, some jars were excavated from ancient ruins. The contamination of the beliefs of the outer gods spread. ”

"That's where that mess began. First one, then two, three. Eventually, seven appeared. And those outer gods are the so-called 'Seven Sovereigns of Natural Calamity'! ”

Their names are not to be mentioned. But Your Majesty, you must know. 'Crimson Corruption Sayadades', 'Beast's Blood Boiling Mutu', 'Corrupt Source Nether', 'Mystic Mother Worm Karakta', 'Lord of the Scourge's Monliod', 'Source of the Blight Takpala', 'Elemental King Lagloth' are the seven main culprits that brought about the natural disaster. ”

“.”

Hearing this, Ji Xun inexplicably felt cold in his lower back.

If I heard me correctly, two of the seven jars were hanging from his waist.

And the names of those outer gods.

Unfortunately, he'd heard several.
