Chapter 245 Preparations before meeting the parents
The result of Lin Xiao's promotion is not unexpected, but the process really surprised the audience.
While the world was shocked, public opinion in the Kingdom of Glory was filled with grief, but many people expressed understanding.
For example, the pets of immortals usually have a good reputation, so it is not too embarrassing to be killed by the "Epee Man"'s spiritual object.
Charlie himself has a more comprehensive understanding of the strength of the epee man.
The opponent even mastered a ray of the power of the law of the military leader Chi You.
Even though Charles was the King of Glory, he could not help but feel sad.
The courage and ability to peer into the realm belonging to gods can only be possessed by one person in this world.
Lin Xiao is the first player to advance to the semi-finals.
The next match is the semi-final match between Jolina and Ukikura's "Amaterasu" Tachibana Senmitsu.
Tachibana Senmitsu is the daughter of the Ukikura royal family and the current unparalleled national scholar of Ukikura. She has the Amaterasu bloodline that has been passed down from medieval times and is known as the "Emperor of Light" among the people.
The trump card is Ukizakura's legendary "Kusanagi Sword".
"Kojiki" records that Susanoo used the Juken Sword to kill Yamata-no-Orochi, and was surprised to find a sharper Kusanagi sword in the remains of Yamata-no-Orochi, which has been passed down to this day.
The Kusanagi Sword has extremely strict restrictions on the bloodline of the user. The user must have the bloodline of Ukisakura gods such as "Amaterasu" and "Tsukiyomi" in order to exert the full power of the Kusanagi Sword.
Tachibana Senmitsu's bloodline was recognized by the Kusanagi Sword, and with this artifact alone, she was able to suppress all forces in Ukikura Kingdom who were dissatisfied with her female identity.
It is said that Tachibana Senmitsu even obtained the inheritance of two other artifacts from Ukikura, the Eight-foot Qiong Magatama and the Eight-Chi Mirror.
Therefore, this "Light King" is regarded as a strong contender for the top four in the World Championship.
Jolina has not fully demonstrated her 'Tarot Card System' since Salo's return, and she also wants to use this game to test her improvement.
Although for Jolina, victory or defeat is not important. She has achieved her own fire concept during her travels in Sharo.
But in order to fight side by side with people who value you, it is necessary to hone yourself and maintain your condition.
The duel between Qiao Linna and Amaterasu will be held tomorrow, and Lin Xiao is planning to go to the scene to cheer for Miss Jones.
After the game, no matter what the result is, Lin Xiao will fulfill the agreement she made long ago - go to the Federation with her to meet Mr. Jones.
The feeling of déjà vu when bringing your boyfriend home to meet your parents...
However, Lin Xiao remembered that the relationship between Qiao Linna and her father was not very harmonious.
She felt a little nervous, but that was normal. Lin Xiao decided to adapt to circumstances.
Night falls.
There are still a lot of posts about the ‘Emperor Seal’ and ‘explosive kill’ on the official forum of the event.
Lin Xiao returned to the luxurious suite in the player-only hotel, and made an appointment with Qiao Linna at the hotel restaurant, preparing to order a seafood feast to reward Dafu.
The performance of the Death-Giving Spear is also commendable, but it can't do anything... Lin Xiao plans to feed it some materials such as 'Rune Runes', and then inject source power into the gun body, which will be regarded as a great health care.
The restaurant has a quiet environment and simple furnishings. The black and gold bar counter and the red roses in the vase on the white tablecloth outline the beautiful colors.
Jolina wore a black and red evening dress, with slender legs under the skirt, black and gold high heels, and a ponytail hanging down to her lower back. She sat down elegantly and said:
"I thought you would never ask someone out."
"You are special." Lin Xiao said, "The dress is very beautiful."
"You...who taught you this?"
"I'm just describing it truthfully."
"Hmph... there is no benefit in complimenting me." Qiao Linna raised her eyes and stared at Lin Xiao, "This is not the first day you know my temper."
"Everyone knows that you are very beautiful." Lin Xiao gave an example: "The waitress who just took the menu from your hand, her heartbeat was much faster than normal."
"That's because of you."
"I don't have that much charm."
"I mean...it's worth changing into a formal dress because of you."
Qiao Lin spoke lightly, but the light red color on her neck betrayed her mood.
Lin Xiao observed Qiao Linna, nodded and said, "Well... you, like me, are not suitable for talking about love."
Qiao Linna glared at Lin Xiao, like a young girl whose secrets had been revealed. She picked up the goblet filled with red wine and changed the subject:
"Shura Martial God"
"Okay... Here's to you. Congratulations on advancing to the semi-finals."
The sound of clinking glasses was as clear as ice cubes sloshing in the glass. Lin Xiao raised his glass and said, "Cheers, for great fortune."
"Cheers. For great blessings." The girl with a high ponytail raised her mouth slightly.
Jolina raised her swan neck and drank like a courageous drink, her cheeks stained red.
Eighth-level card masters are no longer affected by alcohol, with the exception of those who get drunk voluntarily.
Lin Xiao took a sip of the red wine and said, "Your next game..."
"I don't want to talk about this now." Jolina leaned on the back of her chair, holding her left arm with her right hand, her cheeks burning.
"Okay, then the trip to see your father...to meet Mr. Jones can be scheduled after your game." Lin Xiao said.
Jolina raised her gaze, her eyes shimmering brightly: "Do you know... what does it mean to go to see him with me?"
"It means seeking the approval of my family before getting engaged." Lin Xiao scratched her cheek, "I know we don't get along for a long time... but we can slowly cultivate it, whether it's feelings or your love for me.
Feelings, stuff like that.”
The ice cubes in the ice bucket melted, and ice mist emerged. Jolina's eyes were as bright as rubies, and she whispered softly: "Idiot."
"You are not necessarily smarter than me." Lin Xiao said.
"Maybe." Qiao Linna smiled slightly and picked up the wine glass: "Cheers and good luck."
"You are obviously trying to find an excuse to drink."
"Hurry up and cheers!" Jolina showed a rare coquettish look.
The cheeks of the girl with a high ponytail turned red, and Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment. The bitter aftertaste of the red wine came to her dry lips, and she involuntarily picked up the glass:
"cheers."
After drinking countless glasses of wine, the violin music lingered in his ears, and the fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose. Lin Xiao felt that his internal organs were burning, and even his own nerves actually relaxed.
Qiao Linna looked at Lin Xiao's face with hazy eyes, fragmented memories of her mother flashing in her mind.
I may no longer be as free as the wind... Mom, I put the shackles on myself with my own hands.
The cell phone rang, shattering the bubble-like picture.
Lin Xiao and Qiao Linna suddenly woke up, their eyes showing the vigilance of well-trained warriors.
Lin Xiao answered the call and said, "Hello... is that right?"
There was a hint of surprise in his tone as he said, "I'll be here soon."
"Is there still a mission at this time?" Jolina asked hesitantly: "Do you want my help..."
"It's the Jiuding." Lin Xiao said, "The recasting of the Jiuding was successful. Now I'm going to the Central Continent Alliance to collect the material."
The trophies captured after killing Chi You, the weapons made of Jiuding, were given to Jiang Shang by Lin Xiao and entrusted to the craftsmen to recast them.
Now Jiuding has been reforged into Iron of Kyushu, which is expected to be the main material for the Meteoric Sword to break through to the ninth level.
Qiao Linna quickly understood the importance of this matter and said: "I will go there with you."
Lin Xiao pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "That's fine. I'll introduce you to my friends in the Central Continent Alliance..."
Jolina rolled her eyes: "I will introduce myself."
The evening breeze is pleasant, the city is colorful at night, and the viaduct is surrounded by a moonlit night.
Lin Xiaoju showed up on his black motorcycle and turned around to see that Qiao Linna had put on her cycling clothes and helmet and was standing aside.
"Okay..." Lin Xiao put on his helmet, "Sit in the back seat and don't move around."
"Tch, I'm not a child." Qiao Linna expressed disdain.
One minute later.
Qiao Linna hugged Lin Xiao's lower back tightly, her helmet pressed against his back, as obediently as a child.
The motorcycle was speeding through the night, and the street lights were passing behind them quickly. The two of them were close to each other. Under the visor of the helmet, Jolina's eyes reflected the lights of the city, exhaling a white mist.
…
Central Continent Alliance, conference room.
"It has been included in the card. You can know the specific details by browsing the card."
Jiang Shang handed over a flashing iridescent card and said with emotion: "Mythical level material... this is even my first time seeing it."
"Sorry to trouble you." Lin Xiao thanked him, took the card, and injected a bit of source power into the card, and the corresponding information naturally appeared in his heart.
[Iron of Kyushu, Grade 9, Quality: Color Myth]
[Explanation: The iron used by Dayu to cast the Jiuding was extremely heavy and originated from the nine states of Central Continent. Legend has it that it symbolizes the power and military strength of the entire Central Continent. 】
Lin Xiao felt a little excited.
The ninth-level material is a whole level higher than the "Philosopher's Stone"!
The compatibility is also consistent with that of the Meteoric Sword. "Iron from Kyushu" is undoubtedly qualified as the main material for the Meteoric Sword to break through to the ninth level!
"Then I'll accept it." Lin Xiao looked at Jiang Shang, "Are there any other conditions?"
"There are no other conditions." Jiang Shang smiled and said: "If you can break through the ninth level, it is not too much to say that you will benefit all mankind."
"I'll try my best."
Lin Xiao actually had no idea about "becoming a god". After all, the breakthrough of one's character required an illusory opportunity, just like the Federation's Great Desert Battle.
Currently, his source power is still at the peak of the eighth level.
Obtaining the "Iron of Kyushu" is only the first step. If you want to become a god, you have to collect other materials and complete a mental journey.
"There's one more thing..." Jiang Shang's expression was slow and serious, and he glanced at Qiao Linna behind Lin Xiao.
Jiang Shang didn't understand why Shaluo's national scholar Wushuang was traveling with Lin Xiao, and he didn't ask.
But the next thing involving the [Immortal Skeleton] is still inconvenient for outsiders to be present.
Qiao Linna understood what Jiang Shang meant and was about to leave the conference room. Lin Xiao advised:
"It's okay, let her be there."
"But..." Jiang Shang stopped talking.
"She is my girlfriend." Lin Xiao introduced her.
Jolina crossed her arms and looked away, not sure whether she was happy or shy.
Jiang Shang looked around and was stunned for a moment.
Okay, so I am the outsider?
"Cough." Jiang Shang clenched his fists and coughed lightly, saying: "I see, it's me who said too much."
"I think this, my brother and sister..."
Lin Xiao glanced at her with indifferent eyes. Jiang Shang knew that he could not take advantage of his seniority, so Dan Ding changed his words:
"This Miss Jones also knows about the [Immortal Skeleton], so I won't hide it anymore."
"Actually..." Jiang Shang looked at Lin Xiao, "Zhongzhou has plans to launch a cooperation with Northland in the near future. Zhongzhou will provide manpower and material resources to fight against the deep sea monsters, and Northland will hand over the immortal skeletons within its territory to Zhongzhou."
Lin Xiao's heart moved and she said, "Immortal bones were discovered in the North?"
Jiang Shang shook his head: "We have only detected source power fluctuations and can confirm that an immortal skeleton is located in the Siberian permafrost in the North, but we have not yet obtained the actual skeleton."
"For Augustus..." Jiang Shang paused, "It is a good deal to exchange bones that cannot be used for one's own use for real resources. So, she agreed to this cooperation."
Lin Xiao was silent for a moment.
So that's it...a skeleton is buried in a country.
Just like the right arm found in the Federation, the left arm found in Middle-earth, and Sharo's left leg given by Jolina.
Therefore, there will also be an immortal skeleton buried in the Northland.
At present, Zhongzhou is cooperating with the Northland, and the purpose is to help itself obtain this immortal bone in the Northland.
"This kindness is too heavy." Lin Xiao said.
"In this case, you are the martial arts star of Central Continent." Jiang Shang smiled slightly, his eyes were clear and black, "You have to know that every country in the world is eager for you to join them."
"I won't ask you or do anything. I will just help you as much as possible, just like you have been giving to Zhongzhou."
Jiang Shang spoke slowly, his tone suddenly changed, and he smiled: "Of course, if you are willing to take over my position, that would be great!"
Lin Xiao slowly exhaled and said, "I understand. Then I'll ask you to help find the immortal bones in the North."
"There is no need for my family to speak the same language." Jiang Shang put his sleeves on his sleeves, glanced at Qiao Linna, and whispered to Lin Xiao: "You should... don't know how to get married, so marry to Shaluo."
Lin Xiao's eyes twitched: "Am I that kind of person?"
Jiang Shang took a deep look at Lin Xiao and nodded deeply.
Lin Xiao: "Who is your next opponent?"
Jiang Shang was surprised: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
Lin Xiao: "If he can't kill you, I'll help him."
Jiang Shang smiled and said: "This... I won't bother you."
Jiang Shang's final opponent is Brahma Chatian, who is also an old friend.
After his life was saved by Lin Xiao, he returned to the snow mountains to practice. After returning to the world, he made it all the way to the quarterfinals in the World Series.
After hearing that Lin Xiao had killed Chi You, Brahma Chatian was greatly shocked.
We had a fight before, but I didn’t expect that my brother is already so strong!
Brahma Chatian thought that he couldn't defeat Jiang Shang, but that didn't stop him from trying his best. He could donate the money he earned to the snow mountain temple and do good deeds to offset the evil spirit on his body.
After leaving the Central Continent Alliance, Lin Xiao had two major gains.
One is that he obtained the "Iron of Kyushu", and the other is that he has some clues about collecting the "Immortal Bones" in the North.
Lin Xiao didn't know how many immortal bones there were in total.
But when put together... it's probably four limbs, plus a head?
In the night, Qiao Linna walked with her arms folded, looking at Lin Xiao's back, but she was thinking about another thing.
After the next game, take Lin Xiao back to meet his parents...
