Memory and consciousness are obviously two things, but which one is the main factor that determines character? This question has been bothering Cohen for several days. The reason for this question is that Xiaojiu's character has gradually become fuller.
Get up. But this man is not like Cohen, nor is he like Crow, nor is he like the Demon of Killing - although everything about him comes from the above three.
First of all, Xiao Jiu is a poet. Although he is sometimes a melancholic palace poet, sometimes a passionate bard, and sometimes a self-taught vulgar poet, he undoubtedly has the lethality that makes Cohen's appetite rotten. A single "
He was able to change twelve long and short tones with just the word "ah", and even wrote a poem on his own, which made Cohen feel horrified and deeply admired at the same time.
Secondly, Xiaojiu is a perfectionist, and his expression is criticism. Along the way, nothing can satisfy him, and no vegetation or wild animals can enter his eyes. He is completely ridiculed in the mountains and ridiculed in the water.
Cohen could tolerate it at first, but in the end he had to use his parental authority and even created a series of alternative magic: soul soothing, soul trembling, soul burning...
As for other character traits, such as violent tendencies, excessive narcissism, swings, etc., they seem too normal, because they can be found in Xiaojiu's three origins. However, while showing the character, Cohen also has
The happy thing is that Xiao Jiu has gradually developed his unique abilities. From this point of view, Xiao Jiu is extremely powerful.
He is attached to the sword in the form of soul energy and is responsible for absorbing real external information for Cohen. As the saying goes, demand determines everything, so the first skill that appeared was not a physical skill, but a pure energy observation skill. He himself named it "
"Insight", but Cohen calls it "the gaze of a pervert". This is a skill that can observe the target deeply. As long as the target is a living creature, Xiaojiu can observe it layer by layer, even through dense bark and trunks.
When looking into the heart of a tree, the skin and flesh of animals cannot block his perspective. Isn't this the ultimate skill that perverts dream of?
The second skill belongs to the category of large-scale perception, but the object of perception must have a certain amount of soul energy and at least produce emotional fluctuations before Xiao Jiu can detect it. Therefore, this skill was named "Knowing People by Scent" by Cohen. Xiao Jiu firmly refused.
But Cohen also did not accept the title of "Ripple". In order to vent his anger, Xiaojiu finally developed the third skill, which is also a landmark attack skill, "Soul Resonance"! This is a very effective and sinister skill.
, acts on the target soul and destroys the target's body.
The principle is very simple. The soul is a kind of energy that can be destructive no matter how small it is. The biological organs where the soul is stored are very delicate. But Xiaojiu is not in Cohen's body, so he has no scruples in this regard. He first uses insight
Lock the target's soul with ripples, and then use a special method to tremble itself, which in turn causes the target's soul to tremble, in order to destroy the surrounding organs. Before the effect, the target will not notice it, but once it is noticed, the resonance has already been generated
, there is no defense time at all.
This is simply good news for assassins!
After seeing a black bear weighing three hundred kilograms leap high into the sky, and then a red mist burst out from the back of its head, Cohen began to call Xiao Jiu's move "sap", which made Xiao Jiu burst into tears.
, never mentioned developing skills again, and turned to discuss other things with Cohen. However, thanks to Xiaojiu’s tricks, Cohen kept his mind active on the road.
Dawn Forest is finally here.
Xiaojiu was very excited. Although the basis of his existence was Cohen's soul power, except for what Cohen told him, he had no memory of Cohen. His knowledge of Bis continent was also inherited from the killing demon, and it happened that
The Demon of Slaughter once roamed this forest a long time ago - it was really a long time ago - and left several lairs.
Annoyed and helpless, Cohen had no choice but to start treasure hunting under the guidance of this "traitor". Fortunately, he had already arrived at Dawn Forest and the defensive circle was left outside. Otherwise, Cohen would have had to go through a lot of trouble to change directions.
"Is this the treasure of the Demon of Slaughter?" After working for half an hour and looking at the decaying metal products on the ground, Cohen couldn't laugh or cry: "It is a very serious crime to deceive the owner!"
"Oh, boss, there are other places! Besides, these jade flutes are not bad. Don't you consider yourself an elegant person? Bringing these things can increase your charm!" Xiaojiu is not discouraged and has a glib tone.
His ability is no worse than that of Cohen: "We are about to meet with the elves. Although the female elves don't look very good, they are still more eye-catching than female humans..."
"Are you insinuating the imperial concubines?" Cohen's eyes widened: "Are you itchy?"
"I mean, elves have always admired elegant people. As long as you become elegant, boss, you can talk about anything, just like a wild beast turning its belly on a hunter..." Xiao Jiu didn't care, but started to provoke: "But, boss, you will
Do you want to use this thing?"
"Probably a little bit, let me think about it."
After all, Cohen was from a noble family and was involved in various musical instruments. How could Xiao Jiu look down on him? Cohen observed the shape of the jade flute and "cleaned" it twice with magic flames inside and outside. He immediately started researching, and found that
After a while, I found the right tune and started playing.
But along the way, Xiaojiu has shown profound skills in various aspects, so Cohen can only win by surprise - what he is playing now is a melody that has never sounded in Bis continent. This choice is made with the mentality of increasing desire.
out.
"Wow - so weird, so lewd!" Xiao Jiu was deeply shocked, her eyes took up half the size of her head!
In his memory, all the music was sacrificial music from temples or demon temples, with the theme of being simple, heavy, profound, and pure. Although it also evolved into rich dance music such as "The Merry Widow", it still couldn't escape it.
Palace style. This kind of tune without any sacrificial style sounded to him very subversive and rebellious.
As a result, Xiaojiu became more and more excited: "I like it!"
With a sound of "Boom!", Cohen's flute and Xiaojiu's cheers were interrupted. A sparkling arrow was nailed to the tree trunk above Cohen, its tail feathers still trembling.
"The elven territory must not be desecrated!" A clear voice came: "Please reveal your identity!"
"Boss, it seems that your prestige is insufficient, very insufficient!" In order to cover up his dereliction of duty due to being too excited, Xiaojiu stared into the depths of the woods: "Oh, it turns out she is a female elf, and she is wearing a mask. She has a decent figure.
But her top has seriously affected the development of her breasts. Boss, how much desire do you have now? Do you want to have a taste? I can help you hold her hands down if necessary - ah! Why did I say this? Could it be that I was being raped?
Was it affected by the boss’s lewd flute sound?”
After giving Xiao Jiu a soul tremor as punishment for talking nonsense, Cohen appeared in front of the female elf holding a bow, kicked her companion aside, and then said in a low voice: "blasphemy?"
"In the elf territory, please respect the customs of the elf. This kind of vulgar music is disgusting to us!" The female elf subconsciously answered Cohen, and then her eyes became confused, and she looked at Cohen: "You are...
…”
"Am I?" Cohen was not offended or angry at all, but just felt helpless: "What am I?"
"This is your Majesty! His Majesty Cohen Keda!" An elder-level elf appeared ten steps away, apparently the person in charge of the defense of this area: "Good day, His Majesty Emperor Sibia! Please forgive them.
Sorry, they are the primitive elven tribe of the forest. Before we arrived, they did not know the existence of the Sbia Empire in the outside world. They had only seen His Majesty's portrait."
Looking at the strict etiquette of the elf elders, the elf in front of Cohen certainly no longer doubted it. He knelt down on one knee and said not fluently: "Good day, the star of hope in the darkness, the eternal monarch of the elves,
The king of kings in the continent of Bis... Your Majesty was previously covered by the shade of a tree. I was unable to see your Majesty clearly. This was my negligence. Please punish me!"
"When were these titles given to me?" Cohen shook his head at the elf elder: "I said, can't you just call me by name?"
"Your Majesty, it is not a bad thing to have these titles, and they all represent special meanings. They were decided by the latest conference of foreign leaders." After receiving permission, the elder approached Cohen: "I heard that Your Majesty is coming, and the elders all went to the forest.
We were waiting to be greeted at the entrance. We expanded the security circle around us, but we didn't expect His Majesty to show up here. She was too impatient. It was not far from the entrance. If the sound of the flute disturbed the welcoming ceremony, her fault would be huge, and she didn't know how to do it at all.
I know His Majesty is coming."
"I was just walking around casually." Cohen knew that his behavior was the cause of the misunderstanding. He looked at the elf kneeling on the ground and found that she was not very old and should not be very good at catering: "You said, that flute
Is your voice really...vulgar?"
"This...I..." The female elf glanced at the elder in embarrassment, but failed to get help from him. She finally gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, Your Majesty! The sound of the flute is really vulgar!"
"Okay!" Cohen laughed and motioned to the elder to lead the way. After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "I forgive your fault for that arrow!"
Then, the sound of the flute sounded again in the forest, and in the days that followed, the sound of this set of flutes was full of changes, always challenging the aesthetic sense of every elf. Sometimes it was a song with the same melody, although no one could really
Understand, but everyone knows that is not a positive content - but in this place, there is only one elf who can temporarily shut up Cohen.
The elf was walking on the air passage leading to the huge tree house. He just shook his head helplessly at the sound of Cohen's flute. There was no blame or dissatisfaction on his face. Along the way, the elf warriors in charge of the guards greeted him respectfully.
She saluted, and even after entering the cordon of Cohen's guards, she did not need to stop for inspection - she knocked lightly on the door and entered the tree house directly, interrupting Cohen's lyrical singing.
"Your Majesty, the leaders of the thirty-six tribes are here."
"Mother, please sit down." Cohen greeted with a smile, then turned to tell the maid: "Let little Kirtland come in."
That's right, sitting across from Cohen is the previous patriarch of the Elf clan, the current chief elder, and the mother of Princess Wensley.
Although due to historical reasons, the alien races in Sibia are considered very powerful, they are not qualified to represent the entire race. There are elves in Sibia, and there will be them in other places, and there is a branch of the elves in Dawn Forest, the new territory.
It is likely to involve the He clan. This is a major event for the entire Elf clan. There must be someone who is familiar with Elf affairs and has a broad enough network to preside over it.
There is no doubt that the current elf clan leader, Princess Wensili, is not suitable, so the important task of opening up a new territory is carried out by the chief elder.
It has to be said that the chief elder is very good at this kind of thing. Dawn Forest has now become the most desirable place for elves across the continent.
"Mother, is the union of the elves going well?" Taking advantage of the opportunity to summon little Kirtland, Cohen asked, "Do you need my help?"
"Everything is quite normal. Except for some branch tribes that are too hidden, most of the elven tribes have contacted us and unanimously expressed their kind greetings to us. There are even other alien tribes who have also come, and we are currently investigating.
." The chief elder replied: "Through this great fusion, we have collected many lost treasures, including magic and martial arts, as well as several legendary elf professions. These things that we thought were lost are in secret places.
I’m so lucky to be alive.”
"Which ones are included?" Cohen cheered up and asked, because he was the superior and could not dampen the enthusiasm of the elves on this kind of thing: "Is it magical?"
"I can't tell whether it's magical or not, but it can definitely help His Majesty. For example, there are flying warriors and ghost mages, but there are not many of them." The chief elder introduced with a smile: "But there is one profession that must be recommended to Your Majesty.
They are fanatical priests. During the hard years of wandering, they never believed in gods, demons or other beliefs. They were only loyal to the elves themselves. They were absolutely loyal and their numbers were sufficient."
"What kind of profession is this?" Cohen was a little surprised: "I have never heard of it."
"Priests who can sacrifice their lives for the elves at any time. They regard the moon as their sisters, and their fighting ability is amazing. The number available for your majesty to recruit is eleven hundred, but if your majesty wants to recruit them, it is best to use them independently."
"How about this? Ask my mother to complete the recruitment for me and secretly send it to a nearby city. I will have someone pick it up and then incorporate it into my personal guard army." Cohen replied: "The flying warrior and the ghost mage also selected one.
Come here, I'll take a look and make arrangements."
"This is best." The chief elder stopped talking about the recruitment, because the footsteps of little Kirtland could be heard outside.
"I've met your Majesty!" Little Kirtland walked in with a frosty face, but his body was upright. He couldn't say the fancy greetings of the elves, but the weight of his knees was very strong: "Little Kirtland is here!"
"You are Kirtland, don't call yourself Little Kirtland anymore." Cohen affirmed him in a simple way: "Sit down!"
"yes!"
"Bring me a map." Cohen was satisfied with Kirtland's reaction: "Give Kirtland a pen."
"Where has the power of the thirty-six tribes reached? Where can it be absolutely controlled?" Cohen opened the entire map of Bis Continent: "Draw it."
Kirtland drew some lines on the map, most of which were distributed on both sides of the main trade routes of gods and demons. He also drew a few ovals based on the dividing line and the border of Sbia: "The lines are the places that have penetrated.
The ellipse is a place where you can definitely control it.”
"It's going well." Cohen studied the map: "How's the level of confidentiality?"
"There are all kinds of races in the Thirty-Six Tribes. As long as we send out the right people, there is no place where we can't take root." Kirtland said: "In terms of confidentiality, it is impossible to be as strict as professionals."
"Let's do this. You select a group of people and send them to the Liaison Department. The Liaison Department will train them for you, and then you and the Liaison Department will jointly command and carry out some secret missions." Cohen nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said: "But
Right now, you have to do two things."
"Your Majesty, please issue an order!"
"First, I want you to build a circular passage in the Sibia Empire, and also build concealed armed forces." Cohen's pen drew a circle on the map: "This passage must connect several major alien gathering places.
There must be logistical capabilities that can be closed during normal times, but can be opened in times of crisis for the army to rush to support any part that is under attack - it must be able to cope with a medium-sized war."
"Why is this..." Although she was confused, Kirtland nodded and accepted: "Yes!"
"When you build up the armed forces, you will get help from all ethnic groups. I don't care what method you use, even if it is in the name of bandits, but this matter must be kept absolutely confidential. No one can save you if the secret is exposed." Cohen said: "The second thing is
Well, how is your ability to spread news now?"
"The Thirty-Six Tribes are very capable of spreading rumors!"
"No, this is not a rumor, but true inside information." Cohen dropped his pen and said in a calm tone: "Cohen Keda will establish a belief that is equal to gods and demons, and relevant negotiations will be held
First time in ten days."
With a "pop!", Kirtland fell to the ground.
"This is...Cohen, are you sure?"
"Don't worry, mother, I'm not crazy yet." Cohen smiled at the elf: "This is true." (To be continued)
