Chapter 375: The Purpose of the Jar

Previous Chapter

[Ten Thousand Immortal Lanterns] and [Immortal Law Secret Scroll] are both treasures inherited by the Bai family, and it is absolutely impossible to give them over.

There is a high probability that there will be a fight.

Therefore, Qin Ru planned to go to the Bai Family Manor alone.

Although Ji Xun wanted to see this excitement, he also knew that it was dangerous, so he gave up.

Seeing Qin Ru disappear on the spot, he continued to wander around the Extreme Thief City.

The glimmer of the gas lamp shines through the cast iron lampshade, casting mottled light and shadow on the concrete floor, but it cannot dispel the cold silence and depression that pervades the city.

The horrors of war still loom over the ancient city.

The busiest shops on both sides of the street are shops selling all kinds of extraordinary equipment.

High-level machines and cards that were once controlled by the military are now available for sale to all citizens.

The roads are also full of heavily armed pedestrians.

Ji Xun bought a few newspapers at a grocery stall passing by and looked at the news that had happened recently.

The headlines in the newspapers were all about the war.

As expected, the people of the Southern Continent suffered heavy losses in the first battle of Tyrone Machinery City, and the hundreds of thousands of legions gathered were almost completely wiped out.

Although it can't make the three kingdoms of the Southern Continent hurt their bones, the vanguard of the Eastern Wilderness is now losing most of it.

At least for a short time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to organize such a large-scale army.

As soon as the battle line was lengthened, the war, like the expected blitzkrieg on the southern continent, quietly turned into a protracted war.

At least to hit the core city of the eastern wilderness, such as the Extreme Thief City, it will be a long, long time to watch.

All of a sudden, it didn't seem so urgent.

Ji Xun specifically looked at the battle report about the battle of Tailong Machinery City.

There is a lot of content in the newspaper and it is very detailed.

The royal family of Oran did not hide the fact that the moon god had descended.

However, there is no mention of sacrificing millions of inhabitants as mediums.

It's just that the goddess of the silver moon descended and helped the defenders of the Third Mechanic of the Federation to hold the city with great difficulty.

There are also a number of transcripts of interviews with survivors in praise of the goddess of the silver moon.

This made people who only knew about the war through the newspapers immediately associate the "war hero" with the goddess of the silver moon.

In this way, the Silver Moon Sect appeared in the eyes of the general public with a positive image.

Ji Xun glanced at it a few times, and soon he could finish reading the contents of a large page of the newspaper.

Seeing those invisibly hints of praise for the Silver Moon Sect, he sneered and muttered to himself, "Hehe. No wonder the Silver Moon Sect was not resisted, it turned out that it had whitewashed its identity in this way. ”

Newspapers are one of the most important means for the elite to control public opinion.

It is also almost the only way for the general public to access the news.

It is indeed the fastest means of spreading faith.

Many people will feel that this kind of newspaper dominated by politicians has no reading meaning, but for Ji Xun today, as long as the content appears, it is valuable.

Like a gas lamp casting a long shadow on a lamp pole on the ground, the light only allows the bright side to be revealed. But as long as you observe and deduce carefully, you can always see the hidden information in the dark.

The newspapers were full of news about the war, but in fact, between the lines, it was all a foreshadowing of the Γ…lan royal family's efforts to promote the Silvermoon Cult.

"Weird, what the hell are those guys going to do?"

Ji Xun looked at the information in the newspaper, and his expression was slightly puzzled.

Not to mention how strong the Silver Moon Goddess can be when she comes, even if she can really recover her peak, she can confront the people of the Southern Continent head-on?

Apparently impossible.

Ji Xun watched while walking.

After reading the newspaper quickly, he rolled it up and threw it into the trash can on the side of the road.

Post-Federal skyscrapers stand like giants on both sides of the street, the walls are covered with dark iron plates, and the entire city streetscape is twilight.

Steel, smoke, and sin form the dark gothic style that characterizes the Extreme Thief City.

Because of the Bai family, there is the largest mysterious material trading market in the Eastern Wilderness.

As a result, a variety of mysterious card masters have been gathered.

Most of the mysterious card master sequences have some evil methods, and the crime rate in the city is also high.

In the shadows of the streets and alleys, hooded figures sneakily shuttle. They are smugglers, bounty hunters, thieves, killers. And the local gangsters.

Ji Xun walked down the street and felt the malice of those guys hiding in the sewers.

But he didn't feel any discomfort.

Instead, it was as kind as coming home.

As he walked, Ji Xun suddenly stopped and looked at the inner pocket of his windbreaker.

At this time, a small head popped out of his trouser pocket, looked at him with blank eyes, and muttered: "Mr. Ji Xun, I'm hungry." ”

In addition to sleeping, this girl wakes up to eat.

Ji Xun had long been used to it, and said with a smile: "Okay." Let's go find something to eat. ”

As he spoke, he looked up at the airship in the sky.

The hanging basket is sprayed with a sign that reads "Celebrity Sky Restaurant".

In the past few days, I have eaten marching food on the train, and I happened to come to the big city to change my taste.

And with such a high position, it is perfect to watch the game.

Little Ivan had never seen an airship, looked at the direction Ji Xun pointed, and jumped out of his pocket in surprise: "Mr. Ji Xun, are we going there for dinner?" ”

"Hmm."

Ji Xun nodded, and then his shoulders sank.

He reached out and stabilized the little Lori who jumped on his shoulder.

After a short time, the two took a mechanical elevator from the top floor of a high-rise building to the airship.

Looking at the restaurant in this hanging basket on the ground, it is not big, but when I came up, I found that it was actually not small.

There are nearly a hundred tables in the dining room.

Glancing at the price list, the consumption at the airship restaurant was unexpectedly high.

A casual bottle of wine costs more than 1,000 yuan, which is almost half a month's salary for a mechanical worker.

Fortunately, Ji Xun is not short of money.

I looked, and the people dining around me were gentlemen and ladies in suits and leather shoes.

It seems that they are all the wealthy people of the Extreme Thief City.

The war doesn't seem to have much effect on them, they should eat, they should drink.

The two of them found a window seat under the guidance of the waiter.

There are green plants next to the seat to block part of the view, and after sitting down, it feels like being in the jungle, cleverly taking care of the privacy of customers.

Ji Xun sat down and looked through the window, this position just happened to be able to see the brightly lit Bai family manor at the end of the field of vision.

The white-gloved waiter handed over the menu.

"Sir, here's the menu."

"No, there are a few servings on the menu. I'm a body cultivator and I need a lot of food. Oh, and dessert, a little more. ”

"Okay."

β€œ.”

I finally came out for a meal, of course, I had to eat something good.

Ji Xun gave the waiter an objective tip, and the restaurant was very happy to entertain such a high roller.

It's not a strange thing that Ti Xiu eats a lot.

Little Ivan sat down next to him excitedly.

In a short time, a mountain of food was placed on the table.

Little Ivan looked at the food with a glow in his eyes.

Especially when she saw the roasted golden turkey on the table, she pounced on it fiercely.

The food in the aristocratic restaurant tastes good, whether it is the ingredients or the chef's skills, there is nothing to be picky.

One big and one small, two people eat and drink nonsense.

The waiters stay behind the greenery and do not spy on the guests.

No one would have thought that little Ivan would have eaten several times more food than an adult.

It didn't take long for the first batch of food to be served.

Ji Xun looked at the obvious lack of food, and blinked his little Ivan again, smiled brightly, and beckoned outside: "Menu!" ”

Little Ivan also did not forget to praise and praise: "Mr. Ji Xun is so good~"

Ji Xun couldn't cry or laugh.

This little girl is really easy to feed.

He also understood now that Ivan's stomach should also have room to fold, which allowed her to stuff food reserves dozens of times larger than her body.

This big and small are already very familiar, and they have long been out of character.

Ji Xun forked a piece of meat for himself and put it in his mouth, and asked casually, "Ivan, are you a dragonborn?" ”

It's not a secret, it's really curious.

Ivan was stuffing a steak in his mouth, and the urn replied angrily: "I don't know yes~"

"Oh."

Ji Xun just asked casually.

The little girl didn't know, so he didn't continue to ask.

But the girl who looked at it again with a blindfold covered her right eye, thoughtful.

Judging from the spatial means exposed on the train before, Ivan's spatial law comprehension level is much higher than Ji Xun's fifth-order.

Because there is no reference, Ji Xun doesn't know what level her spatial ability is.

But it's not her rank, it's her natural ability.

In other words, this little Lori's body is related to the void ability.

At this time, Ivan finally swallowed the piece of beef that was bigger than her face, and as if remembering something, he said, "But Mother said that Ivan is a 'gift of vanity'." ”

Ji Xun became more and more curious: "Oh? What is that? ”

Ivan said innocently: "I don't know. ”

Ji Xun: "."

The two of them ate round after round in the airship restaurant.

Ji Xun has also been observing the manor in the distance.

I don't know if it's because I didn't fight, or if I used some domain to control, anyway, I didn't see the slightest movement of the battle outside.

didn't see it as lively, and Ji Xun also felt that it was a lot less fun.

But while eating, an unexpected episode appeared.

In my ears, the beautiful chanting of a choir sounded.

"Rejoice in the love of pain, rejoice in the blood spilled

Wandering in the shadows of the grave

Joy, dreams, a moon of a thousand faces

gazing gladly upon the sacrifice of thy devout disciples."

In the restaurant, a group of people chanted a mysterious greeting.

Ji Xun is no stranger to this congratulatory message to the "Lord of Dreams and Pleasures" Arakne.

However, the city is full of advertisements for the Silver Moon Sect, and it is not surprising to see a group of believers coming to preach now.

Ji Xun continued to eat.

Enlightenment also comes to the ears: "You are exempt from the slightest contamination of faith."

The believers not only chanted the name of the Lord of the Silver Moon, but also polluted the faith of the propagator with spiritual secret methods.

The high-level card master is okay, strong-willed, and can be exempted from pollution to a certain extent;

But for the common class, especially those ordinary people who do not have extraordinary abilities, faith is really like a drug, once contaminated, it is difficult to extricate themselves.

Ji Xun frowned slightly when he looked at it.

No matter how you deduce it, you always feel that if this situation continues, the result will be very bad.

Not to mention that he didn't see any chance of victory for the Oran court at all; Even if it can really survive, in the end, the card master civilization will not make much sense, and all that will be left will be fanatical Silver Moon believers.

At that time, without the card master to support the royal power, he may not be able to suppress the old god.

"What the hell is the Orlan royal family going to do?"

This question arose in Ji Xun's heart again.

Just as he was thinking, at this time, a group of Silver Moon believers walked into the compartment where Ji Xun and the two were located.

Little Ivan ignored them and ate on his own.

Ji Xun looked at this group of believers, but he didn't drive them away.

It's about seeing what they're going to do.

The devotees are all dressed in uniform black and white friars' uniforms, and they are all young faces.

The man is handsome and handsome, and the woman is beautiful and graceful.

probably saw that Ji Xun was a man with a child, leaving only one female believer, and the others went to other tables.

The female believer had a gentle voice and a harmless smile on her face, and said, "Sir, tomorrow our church has a prayer meeting, and you are invited to participate"

As she spoke, she took out the leaflet and knelt beside Ji Xun.

Ji Xun glanced at it, his eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth raised a trace of arc, and he said unconsciously in his heart: "The Silver Moon Sect's method is difficult for people to refuse."

In front of her was a gray-haired young girl, with a good appearance and a good figure and temperament.

Looking at the delicate skin, she looks like a lady from a big family.

This nun dress is also very interesting.

It is obviously a wide design, but it is cleverly designed with a low-cut neckline, so that people can see the white peach on the chest at a glance.

The inner side of the skirt is cleverly opened, and it is covered by a black veil.

When you stand, you don't feel what your forehead is, but when you squat, you can expose your entire beautiful legs and most of your buttocks to the air.

Suddenly it went from solemn to sexy.

looks like a sexy girl in a custom tavern, but it is blessed with the divine power of the silver moon, giving people a kind of sacred and solemn, holy and lustful visual conflict.

Ji Xun's angle happened to be able to see some spring light up and down, but he couldn't see it completely.

Just the right amount of looming.

I have to say that even he finds this outfit very attractive.

The female believer didn't mind Ji Xun's gaze at all, her pious face did not hide a hint of joy, holding a moon cross, and her crystal eyes flashed with piety: "The great Lord Arakne has blessed us with joy and bliss, and we sincerely invite you, sir, to participate in the prayer meeting."

"Oh?"

Ji Xun didn't show anything abnormal, like the attitude that ordinary people should have.

I reached out and tried it, and touched my chin.

It's a very offensive action, and a normal lady will definitely be ashamed and angry.

But the female believer in front of her really didn't have any resistance at all, with a vague expression of letting others do it.

There was only fanaticism and devotion to the gods in her eyes, and her mouth was still temptingly hinting: "Sir, Natasha sincerely invites you to join the church and become the most faithful believer of Lord Arakne with me, and the gods will grant us endless pleasures."

It seemed that as long as Ji Xun was willing, he could even completely reach into any corner of the cover under the woman's nun dress in front of him.

β€œ.”

When Ji Xun saw this, he didn't feel the slightest temptation in his heart, but was full of solemnity.

The person in front of him felt that he was no longer a human being.

Rather, it is a tool without self-consciousness.

Like puppets pulled by silk threads, these believers are controlled by the will of the gods.

Although Ji Xun had long known about the dangers of faith pollution, he still felt that he didn't feel good when he saw this scene.

If the world is full of believers in God, then it is too boring.

Now the whole Extreme Thief City is like this.

I am afraid that few people can refuse this kind of preaching.

Ji Xun didn't want to make any troubles, and responded: "Okay, if I'm free tomorrow, I'll come to your church to have a look."

The believer got up and straightened his skirt before leaving satisfied.

Ji Xun looked at the back of the believer, and his eyes froze for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, he turned his gaze to the missionary materials that the man had left behind.

Ji Xun has read a lot of internal information of the Silver Moon Sect.

I thought there was nothing special about this information.

However, before he could turn the first page, his eyes were drawn to it.

"Huh?"

Ji Xun looked through it.

The first page of the promotional material is a picture of the blessed "Holy Light Technique", which is a woman with a bright moon behind her, wearing a moonlight tulle long skirt and covering her face.

Even if you can't see your face, you can give birth to countless fantasies that this is a beautiful woman.

Of course, it's the "Moon God" of the Silver Moon Sect.

Ji Xun is no stranger to this image.

I once saw the Silvermoon Leader when I was undercover, and I used to play this image.

It is said to be Montini, the queen of the mad king Augustus.

Probably the moon god is this image in front of humans?

Ji Xun feels that this appearance is quite in line with the public's aesthetics,

But no, I didn't have any other interests.

And the "Lord of Dreams and Pleasures" Arakne, a name that was once considered taboo by the Federation, was also directly printed on it.

Whenever someone recites this name, the gods will receive the power of faith.

Ji Xun was not surprised to see this.

But strangely, below this, another deity's name appeared: Laglos.

"Elemental King Laglos?! Isn't this one of the seven outer gods that led to the collapse of the Talon Dynasty and the 'Seven Sovereigns of the Scourge'? ”

Ji Xun confirmed it several times, and he was not mistaken.

On this leaflet, after the name of the goddess of the silver moon, there is an exclusive title, called "Moon God Servant"!

Luna's guards?

It was when Ji Xun saw this title that he felt like he had been hammered in his head.

A new train of thought seems to have opened.

You know, others don't know which name is pointing to what, but Ji Xun is very clear!

Each of the seven outer gods of the 'Seven Sovereigns of the Scourge' is a god who is definitely not inferior to the Lord of the Silver Moon.

How did you become a god?

Just looking at this leaflet, the Silvermoon cultists will immediately think that this name is the guard of their belief in the gods.

Hiss. What exactly is the goddess of the silver moon going to do?

Reduced the enemy who was also a god rank to his own guard?

Ji Xun thought that he had misunderstood.

Hurriedly read a few thin pages of promotional paper.

But in the end, it was determined that what he saw was what the Silver Moon Sect wanted to promote.

That [Elemental Monarch Lagloth] really became a subordinate of the Moon God in the Silver Moon Sect?

Under this absurd reality, Ji Xun felt that the moon god must have some intentions.

In this way, both gods can receive the power of faith from their followers.

But the person of the moon god is superior to Lagloth.

Truth is never what the universe is, but what people think is the truth, then that is the truth.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and his eyes trembled: "Could it be."

Ji Xun thought of the joyful dream of the moon god coming from the previous stop in Tailong Machinery City.

Qin Ru said at the time that the successful arrival of the moon god was not only with the help of millions of sacrificial spirit mediums.

There is also a [jar]!

Now seeing the names of the gods printed on the leaflet, Ji Xun is almost certain that it should be the jar of the sealed outer god Laglos!

Thinking of this, he had already guessed something, and muttered to himself: "In this way, the new king of Orlan should have received the plan to deal with the 'Seven Sovereigns of the Scourge' during the Tarun period."

Although Ji Xun can't understand this method.

But judging from the current intelligence, this method is definitely not something that the people of the Orlan royal family can concoct.

It can only be a method left over from the Talen period.

And on second thought, the Bai family was the president of the Royal Academy of Sciences during the Tarun period, and the [God Stealer] sequence was good at stealing the divine power of faith

Looking at it this way, Ji Xun felt that his conjectures were not far from ten.

The Silver Moon Goddess is stealing the personal divine power of the outer gods?!

"Hey, if you can really solve the pollution of the outer gods by faith, it seems like a good way?"

Ji Xun suddenly understood the thoughts of the mad king Augustus three thousand years ago.

Since the power of the card master can't destroy the outer gods.

So it really seems that relying on faith to defeat faith is really the only option?

In the past, the Seven Sovereigns of the Natural Disaster were too strong, and this method might not be able to be used back then.

And now that Tarun has collapsed for three thousand years, all beliefs have been wiped out, and the seal of the Seven Sovereigns of the Cataclysm has reached the lowest threat of disappearing.

If you can really rely on stealing divine power, change your personality, and dispose of a few outer gods, is it really a good way?

In this way, the royal family of Orlan has obtained a powerful protector moon god, and the threat of [Jar] is gone.

It's a lot of things.

Ji Xun thought of this, as if he had understood a lot of things, and said in his heart: "Could it be that the people of the Holy See of the Southern Continent collect jars, is it also this idea?" ”

He felt that the moon god Araknye put his name in front of him and deliberately put the outer god in the position of "divine servant", not necessarily just to restore himself.

There is a clear difference in the level of persons.

There may be other hidden secrets in this.

Intuition told Ji Xun that this might involve some of the promotion methods of the god rank?

At this time, Ji Xun looked at the leaflet again, and vaguely understood the outline of the layout of the Orlan royal family, and muttered to himself: "Then again. I also have two jars on me, can I use them? ”

Maybe.

But not now.

Ji Xun was thinking about it, when suddenly the entire floating airship rumbled and swayed.

The guests in the hanging basket were panicked, but Ji Xun immediately realized something and turned his head to look out.

In the far distance outside the window glass, in the Bai family's manor, a volcanic eruption-like shock wave visibly swept through the entire Extreme Thief City.

After the hanging basket shook violently for a few breaths, a loud "boom" was heard in my ears, and the glass shattered all over the ground.

Presumably the barrier has been destroyed, and the movement of the battle has become impossible to hide.

Ji Xun's pupils shrank and looked into the distance.

A radiant white snake was entrenched in a fairy cloud, and in front of it, a Valkyrie in golden armor was majestic.

And in front of this person and a snake, dozens of immortals, such as insects, crows, foxes, bears, tigers, cranes, and rats, are like great enemies.

When Ji Xun saw this, he grinned: "Tsk, it's really a fight."
