Chapter 866: Tam Kench

Chapter 866 Tam Kench

Standing behind Ji Xing and listening to the clear footsteps coming up the stairs, Drizzt's body and expression were extremely stiff, and he did not respond to Graves's doubts.

No, this is impossible.

The faint connection with the card is his innate talent. He has made some judgments about this talent during his travels in the past few years - a magical ability that accompanies him.

There are indeed two types of mages in Rune Continent. One is born with unique magical abilities and grows with experience and training, and the other is through systematic learning and mastery.

Oh, if forced to classify, there may be another type of magical ability that is influenced by certain magical items or magical creatures.

As the former, he has seen many similar situations, but has never met a guy with the same magic as him.

The 200 Hex gold coins in his arms and Ji Xing's meaningful "tuition fee" made him have exaggerated guesses. Even if he repeatedly told himself that it was impossible, he still couldn't let it go.

Just... after playing cards for two hours, he learned my card divination? !

He now only hoped that the person coming up the stairs was not the real Miss Fortune, and when the ordinary-looking female figure appeared, he did breathe a sigh of relief.

Rumor has it that Miss Fortune is famous for her beauty that can make people lose their vigilance. Although he has never seen her, she should not be so ordinary!

At this time, he heard Ji Xing say: "Your disguise skills are good. You have talents on your ship."

"I just picked up a girl and haven't figured out her background yet." Sarah showed a warm smile: "And you saw it at a glance? Welcome to Bilgewater, Sai... um, you brought two men with you?"

"No, they are here to collect the bounty from me." Ji Xing said: "Your current base is a mansion on the cliff mountain in the east?"

Sarah narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the two people behind Ji Xing who were a little nervous, and said: "I said why you look familiar, Graves? Have you been released from prison? And Drizzt... These two guys are also famous in Bilgewater."

"Excuse me, Miss Fortune, you are famous." Drizzt smiled stiffly.

Really Miss Fortune? !

How did this happen? !

The fingertips of his right hand hidden in his sleeve kept flipping a card. Every time he flipped it, the color of the card would change in the order of blue, red, and gold. However, whenever he was particularly nervous, the order would be messed up.

Now the colors were very messy.

Graves's hand also touched the barrel of the shotgun in his arms and observed Trist's expression.

At this time, Ji Xing took out two 100-dollar Hex Gold Tickets from his arms and handed them to the two together with a stamped bounty.

"Since it has been verified, the bounty should be settled. This time it has to be based on the gold coin value exchange rate. This is two hundred. You can get fifty with this receipt. You should know the specific process better than me."

"I..."

"Take it. See you again if we are lucky." Ji Xing smiled and said, "If you go to Piltover, you can find me at the Philos family. My real name is Seville. Even if I am not here, the Gray Lady will properly settle you first."

"... Seville? Universal capsule?!"

"Well, leave this deck of cards to me as a souvenir and keepsake." Ji Xing cut the cards in his hand and turned sideways to see him off.

Drizzt didn't want to stay any longer. With that stiff smile, he walked out of the room with Graves, bowed to Sarah and said goodbye, and walked downstairs quickly.

It was not until he was far away from the Bauhinia Inn that Drizzt let out a long breath. For a moment, he felt that his whole body was wet with sweat.

He had never experienced this kind of tension before!

"Tobias, just now... what happened? That guy..." Graves was confused, feeling that everything was wrong but he didn't know what was wrong.

"Idiot, he said he was Seville, the Seville who invented the universal capsule, the Seville who killed Gangplank with Miss Fortune!"

"You bastard..." Graves subconsciously retorted after being scolded, frowned and muttered: "The scientist who invented the universal capsule? Will he come to Bilgewater in person? That Gray Lady of Piltover is willing? Aren't you afraid..."

"He has nothing to be afraid of. Haven't you seen that he is far more than just a scientist? Anyone who wants to attack him is probably seeking death!" Drizzt said.

Combining the cause and effect, it is probably a mage, and a mage who can roughly master my card magic in just two hours!

Drizzt even had a guess that frightened him. What exactly is the 'secret weapon' that destroyed the Abyss? Is it really a weapon?

"...He invited us to Philos, is he trying to recruit us?"

"Maybe." Drizzt replied in a low voice: "But I don't want to see him again at all."

Never want to see him again!

...

In the hostel room, Sarah naturally saw Drizzt and Graves's unnaturalness and even panic, but this is normal.

They are just two notorious liars, how could they take advantage of Seville?

She sat down on the sofa without any courtesy and said: "I didn't expect you to come. I am greatly relieved."

"Are you in a bad mood recently?" Ji Xing asked.

"It's okay." Sarah spread her hands: "The bastards on the island are not a problem. I just don't want to become another Gangplank. I want to play with them more. It will be solved in a year and a half, but now We are facing bigger troubles."

She looked at Ji Xing: "I want to apologize to you first. My purpose of inviting you to Bilgewater is not pure. Sewell, have you ever heard of...'Soul-eating Night'?"

"Well, I heard you and Raven talking about this word after we separated last time." Ji Xing replied.

Sarah's expression froze, and after two seconds she showed a helpless smile: "You are really..."

He always calmly does amazing things and says amazing words. Do you think the ‘conspiracy’ between me and Raven is a joke? !

"Okay, that's easier to explain." She was also single and changed the topic directly: "A few hundred miles south of Bilgewater, there is an island called 'Shadow Island'.

It is a forbidden place for the living and a gathering place for the dead souls. The only good thing is that the dead souls can only move in the black mist on the island, which is why Shadow Island is not known to too many people.

Soul Eating Night is a special day once a year on the Shadow Island. The black fog on the island will continue to expand outwards, and the scope of action of the undead will also increase. Bilgewater, which is close to the Shadow Island, will bear the brunt and will be attacked by some undead. . "

Undead? interesting.

What made Ji Xing accept Miss Fortune's invitation was not friendship or anything else, but the word "soul" in Soul Eating Night.

Compared to a body that can only accumulate strength to improve itself bit by bit, Ji Xing's soul when it invades the world is always very special.

According to normal development, as a human being, it would be difficult for him to reach the level of the Star Casting Dragon King, the strongest creature born in the Alliance Universe. Only by finding a way to attract the power of the soul can his improvement be almost unlimited.

‘Speaking of which, after invading so many worlds, I haven’t played necromancy yet, right? If reincarnation in the filthy world of Naruto is not counted...'

He looked at Sarah and motioned for her to continue.

"In the past, it was Gangplank who led Bilgewater to resist the Soul-Eating Night, and this was barely the only good thing he did." Sarah said: "Of course, that guy's approach was simple and crude, but it was just to let the seamen who took refuge in him The thieves can serve as cannon fodder and survive the night when the dark fog expands.

I always have to do better than Gangplank, but this Soul Haunting Night is too close, so I thought of asking you for help, Sevier. "

"How long is too close?"

"Within half a month, maybe tomorrow?" Sarah said: "The spreading speed of the black mist is different every time. The Soul Eating Night is not an exact day."

Ji Xing nodded and quickly switched the cards in his hand. Sarah couldn't help but look over.

"Speaking of which, you have been playing with this deck of cards since we met. You got them from Drizzt, right? Is there any problem?"

"Drizzt has a magic at his disposal."

Sarah was startled: "Him? Magic?!"

"Card magic." Ji Xing said: "Before you came here, I played Death Wheel with him for two hours and lost 200 gold coins to him. Because every card is vaguely attached to the magic power he released unconsciously. Give him guidance."

"Then you still..."

"It's every one, including the ones I caught in my hand." Ji Xing said with a smile: "In the eyes of a mage of my level, it's like he was breaking down and demonstrating to me how his magic works."

Sarah's expression slowly became strange.

"So... the notorious fraudster was deceived by you? He was deceived by magic? Does his card magic have other uses besides gambling?"

At the same time, Ji Xing stopped cutting the cards, slowly pulled out three cards from the pile and arranged them on the table in front of him, saying: "It can also be used for divination. Just wait for me here for a while. I'll do it when I get to Bilgewater." I feel like I'm being watched by something, and I can't even take my eyes off him. I'll go see what he's looking at, and then come back to you."

The breeze stirred, and his body floated up with great lightness, and he flew out of the window.

Sarah was stunned, was she being targeted by something? After pondering solemnly for a few seconds, she shook her head repeatedly. That girl made me think of Nautilus inexplicably?

Having said that, knowing magic is really convenient.

…

The result given by the divination card was that the opponent's position could change drastically at any time, so Ji Xing of Yufeng used all his strength. He seemed to have really turned into a gust of wind. Ordinary people could not even see the afterimage. Only when he blew by, would the demonic wind suddenly scream out.

After passing through three blocks in a few seconds, what appeared in front of him was a slightly dirty waterway.

The strong wind turned into armor and enveloped him. He walked through the water and soon saw an underwater natural cave, which seemed to be protected by some force and would not be immersed in the water.

Just as he was about to enter the cave, a dark red unknown thick object suddenly stuck out of the cave and stabbed Ji Xing!

Ji Xing put his hands together, and the wind element on his body exploded, switching to thunder in one second! The blazing plasma instantly evaporated the surrounding area and the river water, illuminating Ji Xing's figure and the objects in front of him!

After careful identification, it turned out to be an extremely huge tongue, slightly mixed with the fishy smell hidden in the river water, and the power contained in it was like a mountain pushing and impacting!

Ji Xing suddenly knew the identity of the other party, and his clasped hands were covered with plasma spheres, which violently collided with the giant tongue.

The vast shock wave exploded, and the unevaporated river water jumped up in unison. The land within a radius of more than ten miles trembled and shook, and the cave collapsed. The terrain of this river ditch was undergoing an overturning change!

Ji Xingfei retreated dozens of meters, and after landing, his right foot stepped on the rolling mud. The mud and sand obeyed his command and formed in a planned manner.

A mud and sand arch was connected in the chaos, with Ji Xing standing at one end and... at the other end.

A fat catfish? Its body is as fat as a ball, but it wears a top hat as if it is smug, which makes it even more funny. The open mouth is wider than its body, and the tongue that is dragged out almost hangs to the ground.

The king of the river, Tam Kench!

Because of its body, it has a special title in Piltover-two coats.

It is a demon of desire, feeding on human desires, and always likes to cultivate food himself, infinitely deceiving and magnifying the desires of the target.

Ji Xing probably knew why it always looked at him, but still asked: "Why are you looking at me?"

"You are not human." Tam looked at Ji Xing, his smile was a little ugly and greedy, but his voice was like a gentle gentleman.

"What are you talking about." Ji Xing frowned.

"You have no desire, or only the most basic instinctive desire, bland and tasteless. The same situation, I have only seen in a few Protoss... Oh, you are the incarnation of a certain Protoss? It doesn't seem like it..." Tam whispered.

Ji Xing waved his hand to interrupt: "Find the reason for yourself, okay? Is it because you don't feel desire from me? Or is my desire so strong that you can't distinguish it?"

Tam shook his big tongue with interest: "What is that?"

The biggest desire is to upgrade the alliance world to six stars and obtain the power of the Supreme King. If this cannot be achieved, just increase the power to the maximum value and bring back the benefits. No matter which one, it does not belong to Tam's "jurisdiction"!

"Guess." Ji Xing just replied: "Stop staring at me. I'm not interested in you."

But I'm very interested in you. Tam chuckled twice, then said: "Okay. Bilgewater is really lively recently. First, a guy with desires all over his body but knows what he wants too well, and then you who have no desires come. It just so happens that you are both equally powerful mages, interesting, interesting."

Oh? Ji Xing looked at it, ended this brief exchange, and went back again.

Tam rolled his big tongue and stroked the tip of his tongue with his two short hands. Hmm, it's a little numb.

Ji Xing, who floated back to the hostel, also rubbed his wrist, with a bit of hesitation in his expression.

Sarah was surprised: "So fast?"

"Well, I can't kill it, and I can't cooperate with that thing. It's a waste of time to talk more." Ji Xing sat back on the sofa and quickly cut the cards again.

"Unkillable? That thing?" Sarah's face changed: "Hey, isn't it really the deep-sea titan Nautilus?"

"Nautilus? Oh, no, it's the demon of desire, Tam Kench."

"... cough!" Sarah, who was relieved by the first half of the sentence, almost spit out: "It's two coats? Isn't that a horror story?!"

"As long as there is a legend, there are always traces to follow."

There are really two coats? There is Nautilus? That's just two of the four horror legends of Bilgewater Port! Sarah, a half-local, never knew that the water in Bilgewater was so deep?

Ji Xing slowly arranged the three cards in front of him and frowned. I can't figure it out. Is Tam making it up or is he good at hiding?

Before me, did Bilgewater really have a mage with the same strength as me? Although I don't know where my current strength is positioned in the entire Rune Continent, Ji Xing is confident that he should occupy a very high position among ordinary people.

Forget it... I'll just believe half of what the devil says.

Let's do business first.

He shuffled and cut the cards again, took out three divination cards, looked up and said, "Two days later, the black fog should spread to Bilgewater in two days."

Miss Fortune came back to her senses.

"Two days...?"
