Chapter 189 Preparations before going to Central Continent
In Star Map City, in the garage of a single-family villa, Lin Xiaoju appeared with an upgraded motorcycle "Queen".
After breaking through the sixth level, the appearance of Harley-Davidson motorcycles becomes more handsome and vaguely aggressive.
When Lin Xiao used the secret of the vehicle card "Killer Queen", the motorcycle tires squeaked, and mechanical arms stretched out on the left and right sides, holding heavy firepower weapons such as machine guns and flamethrowers. The car headlights became laser weapons. When Lin Xiao
When the move is released, these weapons will automatically recover.
"Motorcycles can also fire light cannons now..." Lin Xiao muttered.
There is also a more useful material in the ten consecutive draws, "Rune of Fire".
It is a rune with the power of fire, which can be kept to strengthen the little fat bird "Tangyuan".
After counting the harvest of ten consecutive draws, Lin Xiao recalled Lucifer's words and fell into thought.
The five creators are the supreme beings in this world and control different authorities.
Because I drew [Black Dragon Contract] from the card pool, I accidentally became the messenger of the 'Lord of Destruction and Reincarnation'.
Although I don’t know the exact mission of being an envoy.
But as more and more demons are defeated, my source of power becomes more and more abundant, which should be inseparable from Nidhogg's "power of destruction".
Lin Xiao felt complicated.
I feel like the ultimate villain, relying on constant "destruction" to increase my power.
If you are a card master who believes in Indra, the 'Lord of Nature and Elements', you may be able to improve just by absorbing the "elements"...
Lin Xiao walked out of the garage and looked at the clear blue sky, imagining the five-color dragon above the clouds with a penetrating gaze.
If your guess is correct, the five supreme Lords of Creation correspond to the five promotion paths. The "Fire Concept" is the key to preventing card masters from getting lost in the paths.
But no matter what the end of the road is, Lin Xiao still holds the concept of being a 'player' and has the curiosity to find out.
Promotion to [Sanctuary] is only a short-term goal.
Clearing the customs is Lin Xiao’s real goal!

The night is getting darker.
The neon lights on Queen Street are flashing, and white smoke is rising from the ramen stall outside the coffee shop.
At the investigation team base, several operators were chatting in the corridor. When they saw the visitor, they all said in unison with great respect:
"Hello, Team Leader Lin!"
Lin Xiao was slightly startled. These operators also knew each other personally. They were nodding acquaintances on weekdays, so there was no need to salute loudly.
On second thought, they must have watched the showdown two days ago and knew my identity after the showdown.
"Hello, everyone." Lin Xiao said, "No need to be so formal, everyone can go about their business."
The leader of the team said seriously: "Team Leader Lin, we are busy with important things right now."
Lin Xiao: "How do you say this?"
The operator clicked on the light screen and showed Lin Xiao the plan PPT. It showed Lin Xiao's various achievements in the past few months, including the recent duel with Augustus.
"The theme of our team's report is called, Hello, Team Leader Lin." The team leader said calmly.
Lin Xiao: "..."
Good, very energetic!
After the episode, Lin Xiao knocked on the door of the team leader's office, but found no one there.
When I arrived at the office of the special agent team, I found the secretary spreading a lot of snacks on the coffee table, eating potato chips and reading documents.
"Where's the team leader?" Lin Xiao asked.
The little secretary was startled, hurriedly put her hands on the coffee table, and said with a blushing face:
"The team leader is on a business trip these days..."
"Do you know the specific location of the business trip?"
Sigrid shook her head and said, "You have something important to do with the team leader?"
Lin Xiao pondered: "No... I just hid the identity of the epee man from her before. Now that it has been made public, I think I should explain it to her face to face."
"If you go on a business trip, you can avoid some trouble." Lin Xiao said.
Sigrid nodded and asked curiously: "Have you told the team leader that you are going to be assigned to Central Continent?"
"I said it, and she approved it," Lin Xiao said.
"What's the specific time?" Sigrid asked.
Lin Xiao: "September."
The start date of the World Series is December this year, and it will arrive in Central Continent in September. There are still three months to prepare, so as to fry the fish pond more safely!
Sigrid blinked and said, "Then you...have you told Jolina that you are leaving?"
Lin Xiao was startled and said, "Do we need to make a special trip to talk about this?"
"Of course!" Sigrid became anxious, "Now, you are leaving the Federation. You must tell her, otherwise she will not be mentally prepared at all... Wait a minute!"
"You, when you are dispatched to Central Continent, don't plan to take Jolina with you, right?" Sigrid said in a strange tone.
Lin Xiao looked at the sky, thought for a long time, nodded and said: "Ang."
"What are you doing!" the little secretary said angrily, "You don't know that Jolina likes you!"
Lin Xiao: "Hmm...huh?"
The handsome and indifferent young man, his expression remained as calm as ever, with a bewildered look on his face.
Sigrid held her forehead and sighed: "Okay, I think your emotional intelligence when you get along with the raven is higher than it is now. It is indeed my fault as a secretary for not taking this into consideration..."
"Wait a minute, how are you sure that Qiao Linna likes me?" Lin Xiao said, "There are no signs."
No, it seems to be a sign.
Lin Xiao frowned slightly, her eyes showing deep thoughts. The dance during the three-school league competition came to mind, and the red eyes of the girl with a high ponytail were shining with luster.
So it turned out to be 'like'... I, a game planner who died suddenly, have never been in love in my entire life, don't lie to me!
Sigrid said helplessly: "Then you should ask Dafu...see if it doesn't think so."
"Tsk, what can a seal know?"
As he spoke, Lin Xiao showed up with a plump figure, looked at the seal's big, dark and bright eyes, and bent down and said:
"Dafu, do you like Qiao Linna?"
"Oh! (??)" Dafu's eyes flashed with excitement, and he patted his belly with his paws.
I like the big sister who feeds the fish!
Lin Xiao: "Then do you think Qiao Linna likes me?"
Dafu tilted his head, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Oh."
Big sister didn't even feed you fish.
Lin Xiao pointed at Dafu, turned around and said, "Look."
Sigrid: "..."
Card masters and spiritual creatures both have the same virtue!
"Whether she likes you or not, we are all teammates who have been together for a long time."
Sigrid said: "So I think you can't leave without saying goodbye."
Lin Xiao nodded.
Indeed, before leaving the Federation, it is necessary to explain the situation to Jolina.
If possible, I really need her help.
Because she is an extremely reliable teammate. She once helped me find out Lucifer's weaknesses when we were fighting against him.
And she also has extremely high potential in the promotion path of 'Lord of the Sun and the Underworld'.
But...from the perspective of the opposite sex, how do I view Qiao Linna? Lin Xiao's eyes revealed her thoughts.
Beautiful, with long legs and eyes as beautiful as rubies.
He has a strong personality, like a lion that licks its own wounds when it is injured, but sometimes it is very gentle...
Get out of the office.
Lin Xiao came back to his senses from a long period of thinking, and there was a hint of understanding in his eyes.
I want Jolina to go to Middle-earth with me.
…
There were red oleanders blooming outside the amphitheater window. Jolina held her face, absentmindedly.
Recently, the news that "Lin Xiao has been appointed as the honorary president of Rendong University" has caused a sensation in the school.
But another piece of bad news came. The principal approved Lin Xiao's resignation, and he will no longer serve as a teacher in the ancient linguistics course.
Perhaps because of the hot weather, the girl with a high ponytail felt unspeakably irritable. After the bell rang, she packed her things, walked out of the classroom and came to the school gate, wearing a red motorcycle.
The scenery on the viaduct recedes all the way, and the motorcycle speeds on the way home, arriving at a luxurious manor.
Jolina took off her helmet and shook her long hair, a few strands of hair sticking to her sweaty swan neck.
The mist filled the bathroom. Jolina looked up at the shower, closed her eyes, and let her hair get wet: "Huh..."
In the Victorian bedroom, the girl wiped her wet long hair with a towel, her blond hair spread over her white and rosy shoulders, and she sat on the edge of the bed and hugged the ragdoll cat.
Jolina combed the Ragdoll cat's hair without saying a word, her eyes showing tenderness.
"Meow..." The Ragdoll cat turned over.
"Does it hurt you?" Jolina said.
The ragdoll cat just changed its posture, stretched out its little paws to comfort Jolina's arm: "Meow?"
Jolina smiled slightly: "I'm fine... I'm just a little tired from recent training, so I'll take a day off..."
"Guhu!" Vivian suddenly screamed and fluttered off the support, as if she had seen something terrible.
Jolina's eyes were stern, golden flames emerged from the fire, and a rapier appeared. She stood indoors and looked around, but found nothing.
A cluster of golden flames ignited in the girl's left eye. Under the gaze of the "Eye of Truth", she saw a black cat squatting high on the bookshelf. Its body was covered with gold ornaments, and its pupils were like amber.
Jolina was startled and said: "Buster?"
In the copy of the source world, he once had a relationship with the cat god, Buster.
It was Buster who persuaded the jackal god Anubis to grant the inheritance of the 'Eye of Horus' to Jolina.
The black cat nodded majestically and spoke the voice of a human woman:
"We meet again, Jolina."
Jolina nodded slightly, somewhat puzzled: "How did you come from the source world... to the real world?"
Buster glanced at the virtual cabin and said:
"The spiritual world is a world parallel to the real world. It was created by Lord Zhu Jiuyin. With his permission, you can come and go freely between the two worlds."
"Zhu Jiuyin?" Qiao Linna became more and more confused.
"This is not the point. You will also be exposed to a more real world in the future."
Black Cat flipped through the article lightly and said:
"I came here specifically to find you for two things. First, to check whether you have the qualifications to continue to possess the "Eye of Horus"."
"Secondly, I will convey to you the will of Lord Horus, the 'Guardian God'."
Jolina looked wary.
The black cat smiled and said: "There is no need to be so wary of me. You do have the character to inherit the "Eye of Horus". The so-called will is not a mandatory requirement for you. You can listen to it first and then make plans."
Jolina knew that the so-called 'Horus' was the patron saint of the Pharaoh in the Sharo mythology, and he was also the god of revenge. He often appeared in the form of an eagle-headed person.
"Speaking."
"Lord Horus is still sleeping, but his mortal enemy, the evil god 'Set', has recruited a large number of human believers to try to prevent Lord Horus from being resurrected."
Cat God Buster said: "Human disputes can only be resolved by humans. Therefore, I hope you can go to the Kingdom of Sharo to guard the resurrection ceremony of Lord Horus."
Jolina frowned and said nothing.
The so-called evil god Set is not an orthodox priesthood.
Set's true identity is the god of storms. He was called the evil god because he murdered his brother Osiris, the god of the underworld.
But in the final analysis, it is all the matter of the god Sharo, and it is not his turn for humans to intervene.
"I don't understand." Jolina said, "Why is it me?"
The black cat said seriously: "Because you have been recognized by the "Eye of Horus". And the evil god Set and his human followers..."
"I have taken refuge in [Doomsday]." The Cat God said seriously.
Qiao Linna's pupils shrank, she had heard about [Doomsday] from Lin Xiao.
I thought it was just the end of the world that would happen in the myths of various countries, but now it seems that it is more like a force, a force that can make the gods fear!
"The Doomsday is the source of all chaos and disorder. It will eventually bring about all destruction. Even the gods of the medieval times will find it difficult to contend with them."
Black Cat said: "But humans have ignited the fire, which is a brand-new variable that has never been seen before."
"I don't know if humans and gods can survive the doomsday if they join hands." The black cat looked at Jolina and said seriously: "But I know that you have a golden will. Even if you face the evil god Set, you will never
Will be shaken."
The silence inside was oppressive.
Jolina took a deep breath, looked at the black cat covered in gold accessories, and said:
"How can it be so easy to make people risk their lives with just a few words?"
"Of course, Anubis and I both understand that effort and reward must be equal."
The cat god said slowly: "The 'Bone of Set' is a mineral treasure that is coveted by all the gods. And the right eye of Lord Horus is enough to make you a demigod."
The black cat lowered his eyes, looked at Jolina's shining golden fire, and said:
"I can understand your "fire concept" of longing for power. And if you want to obtain power, just like a seed nourished by the sun and air, you must go through long and hard practice before you go astray."
"This is just your rhetoric." Jolina said coldly, "I can become stronger without God's mercy, just like..."
The back of the man in black armor appeared before his eyes, but that back gradually faded away.
There was a fleeting look of depression in the girl's eyes, and then she became determined again.
"This is not rhetoric. It is the teachings of the 'Lord of the Sun and the Underworld'."
The black cat shook its tail and smiled slightly: "It's okay to refuse. But if you think carefully and decide to go to the Sharo Kingdom, I will come to you again."
The figure of the cat god Buster gradually dissipated into particles of light, leaving only the blank ragdoll cat and snowy owl in the room.
Jolina's eyes flickered as she thought about the Cat God's words.
The opportunity promised by the Cat God to become a demigod hero... is for me to fight against the evil god Seth who has taken refuge in [Doomsday] and to eliminate the followers of the Card Faller led by him.
If what the cat god said is true, then risks and opportunities coexist, and I need to step into the desolate and silent desert alone to find my own path.
Can I really succeed without relying on Lin Xiao?
Jolina suddenly felt unconfident and looked down at the golden fire in her palm.
But if I keep following him, I will never catch up with him.
Even before the [Doomsday] that is bound to come, I can no longer fight side by side with him...
Jolina suddenly clenched her palms, and her back before the avalanche appeared in front of her eyes. She walked towards the figure of the cloaked mage, and the fireflies gradually rose under the moonlit night.
I like Lin Xiao.
That's why I wanted to stand beside him upright.
Whether it's a demon or a saint, I want to have the power to defeat all those who covet him!
"It's time to start again."
The girl in red dress tied up her high ponytail, with a heroic appearance and bright red eyes, and said to herself:
"Jolene Jones."
