"Julie, this old man is an old friend of mine from Picardi, Tang Jin Cruise." The old woman introduced the man to the girl. "He is also one of the only two people like us among the millions of people in Picardi."
The girl immediately revealed a trace of surprise. She looked at the old man and saw him give her a kind smile. "I've heard of your name for a long time, my cute little Julie."
"Alright, let's cut the small talk and get to the point." The old woman finished her introduction. "The Argent Mirror is an ancient treasure, we cannot let it fall into the hands of the Immortal Palace. We have to think of a way to deal with this situation. "
The old man Tang Jin frowned.
"The Argent Mirror is called the Mirror of Secret Texts by the common people. It is said that the ancient Magic Mirror is recorded on it. The Immortal Palace will definitely send their main force. If it is the former General of Weisman, Griffith, it will be fine. We have fought against him many times and are familiar with him. I'm just afraid that it will be troublesome if it is someone else. "
"Then what are your local plans? You should have a plan before we arrived right? "The old woman frowned.
"Of course, there is a seal on the Argent Mirror. We have to break the seal to get the real secret text. But along with the secret text is the most powerful and terrifying ancient Will of the Origin. Once the seal is broken and the Will is released, the whole world will be turned upside down. This was the original plan of the Immortal Palace. So we found a time needle. As long as we place it on the Argent Mirror, we can break the seal at the crucial moment. "The old man explained in detail.
Then his gaze fell on the main force.
"But, since you brought Julie here, the time needle won't be of much use."
"No, if it was Flamingo who came this time, even if it was Julie …" The old woman said in a low voice. "You don't know how dangerous the Will of the Origin is. That thing is extremely dangerous. The Immortal Palace is playing with fire. So we have to be prepared. Julie will fight the Immortal Palace together with us. Only her telekinesis can counter the Immortal Palace that has consumed the Blood of Immortality. The time needle must also be prepared secretly. "
Her last words. "We must not let them succeed. Once the seal is broken, no one in the world can stop the Will of the Origin. I thought that thing would have been buried in history. "
"How is Julie now? How strong are you? "The old man asked in a low voice.
Julie hesitated, feeling a little ashamed.
"My talent isn't enough. Even now, I'm only at the third pole."
The old man's face suddenly became strange, and there seemed to be a trace of shame in his eyes. He took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to curse in his heart for a long time.
"The third pole. Not bad, not bad. It's already very good."
"Alright then. Since everything has been arranged, you guys should act according to the original plan. We will wait for the people from the Immortal Palace to appear in the dark." The old woman nodded. "When the time comes, try not to affect the ordinary people around you."
Julie asked hesitantly, "Teacher, why don't you ask the Argentists for help? And this time, I heard from my friend that there are many masters from all over the world. If we can besiege the Immortal Palace, it should be of great help, right? "
"You don't understand. Ordinary people without talent are like ants and elephants in front of Immortal Palace. You don't even have the qualifications to exhaust my stamina, "the old woman said seriously.
The girl widened her eyes in suspicion.
"All the telekinesis masters in the Immortal Palace have a secret technique that can instantly spread their aura. Anyone who sees them will be severely affected physically and mentally, and even collapse. With such an aura, the Immortal Palace has never been afraid of the human wave tactic. " The old woman sighed. "But fortunately, we also got that book. I've been continuously instilling you with the telekinesis in it. Actually, you already have a lot of power now. You just don't know how to use it."
"I understand. Teacher, I'll work harder. "Julie nodded seriously.
"As long as you understand." The old woman touched the girl's face, feeling sorry for her. "It's been hard on you. You're only nineteen years old, and you're already under so much pressure …"
"It's okay." The girl tried to make a relaxed expression. "Teacher, you're the one who's been working hard. For so many years, you've been fighting against the Immortal Palace without anyone knowing. No one can see your sacrifice and effort. Compared to all of you, what is this little bit that I've done? "
"You don't understand … It's actually a battle of ideals between us …" The old woman mumbled. "Alright, go and rest. It's getting late. Remember, when you intercept the Immortal Palace people, you must lure them to a place with fewer people. Otherwise, the normal people around you won't be able to withstand that kind of damage. Once the peak of telekinesis unleashes its strongest form, even the elites among the normal people won't be able to withstand it. So, no matter how strong the normal people are, you have to remember. You have to remember that only strength can fight talent. Blindly asking your friends for help will only harm them. "
"But my friend said that there are Grandmasters of Combat in the Argentists. Maybe …"
"Who knows how many Grandmasters of Combat have died in the hands of the Immortal Palace."
Julie finally stopped talking.
"Alright, go and rest. You're our hope. "The old woman put away her stern expression and gently touched the girl's hair.
"Alright."
*****
The Coconut Tree Hotel's penthouse suite.
Garon stood in the middle of the room with his arms raised. His whole body was like a cross. His eyes were closed and his breathing was shallow. Together with the platinum skin on his body. He looked like a standard metal statue.
Knock knock knock.
"Come in." Garon didn't even open his eyes. He only said a few words calmly.
The door opened slowly and the King of Nightmares, Stephen, walked in slowly.
"Training again?"
"What's up?"
Closing the door, Stephen walked past Garon to the floor-to-ceiling window and opened the curtains to look down.
"Southern Sky Holy Fist Gate sent a message. It's a telegram from Palosa. Are you interested? "
"Go ahead." Garon slowly put his hands together. His movements were unusually slow, but the whole room was strangely stirred up by a strong wind. The thick black curtains were blown up by the wind.
"In the structure of the Immortal Palace, there are actually two groups: outsiders and elders." Stephen found a chair and sat down. "The outsiders are the top figures who joined later. For example, Duskdune Shura and the former Weisman General Geoffrey. And the real elders, are actually two people, Flamingo and Sylphalan. "
"What's the difference?"
"A big difference." Stefen smiled. "It is said that the founding members of the Immortal Palace have been active on the international stage for decades. You and I weren't even born then. And the people who joined later have changed many times. "
"Didn't Palosa and Sylphalan both lose?" Garon opened his eyes and asked. "I've seen Palosa's strength, although that wasn't his strongest personality."
"You don't think the cold personality is Palosa's strongest state, do you?" Stephen shook his head and smiled. "The White Bird Holy Fist's strongest state was actually broken in the battle with Sylphalan. The combination of the three personalities into one was the most perfect state he could be in. The three personalities are actually like three genius Palosas with the same memory, advancing in three different directions of martial arts. The good side goes for direct confrontation, the evil side goes for secret tricks, and the cold one is in charge of combining the two. When the three are combined, Palosa is truly at his strongest state. At that time, he is truly the Holy Fist. "
This was the first time Garon heard of this.
"No wonder I felt that the White Bird Holy Fist didn't have that kind of majestic aura."
"I heard a senior mention it before. He was a yoga master in the Azure Continent. He had seen Palosa's Holy Fist form before. It was said that every punch and kick had the power of a secret technique. His 178 secret techniques were actually the special effects of his Holy Fist form's 178 fist techniques. It's just that under normal circumstances, they can only be activated by secret techniques. "Stephen revealed another shocking secret.
"Every punch and kick has the power of a secret technique … If that's the case, then the March that Palosa mentioned …" Garen was shocked, but at the same time, he remembered the letter he received before he left.
"Who knows?" Stephen shrugged. "But you're not bad yourself. Hailed as the next Holy Fist by the entire Southern Secret Martial Arts world, Holy Elephant Garon's name has already spread to the Northern Martial Arts Alliance. "
"You seem to know a lot about the Confederation's situation."
"Can't help it. The world has the most martial arts and the strongest Grandmasters of Combat. Which martial arts practitioner wouldn't pay attention to it? But I heard about it from Andrela. Palosa's Holy Fist form was broken, obviously Sylphalan wouldn't have it easy either. "
"This is an opportunity." Garon's eyebrows furrowed.
"Let's wait and see. The people from the Immortal Palace are all crazy, maybe they've already recovered from their injuries."
*****
Three days later, the exhibition was held as scheduled.
In a hall with a golden ceiling and a dark grey floor.
Black pillars stood on the ground, in the middle of the pillars was a transparent glass cube space, which contained the collection of the exhibition.
Every pillar was a collectible. In the hall, there were hundreds of pillars like this, surrounded by more or less visitors.
Garon was wearing a black suit, holding a cup of light green hot tea in his hand, standing quietly in front of a black pillar at the edge.
His gaze fell on an antique vase in the middle of the pillar.
This was a white porcelain vase with a thin neck, it looked like an enlarged version of a medicine bottle used to store pills. There were intricate sky-blue patterns on it, and on the middle of the vase, there were exquisite drawings of people moving about.
There were a few antique enthusiasts around him, admiring the vase as well.
"This is a rare item from the Ancient Eastern Kingdom, across the sea." An old man with gold rimmed glasses sighed. "A typical Jade Pot Spring Vase, look at the smooth texture, the bright patterns … Tsk tsk."
"The Jade Pot Spring Vase is an antique used by the Ancient Eastern Kingdom to store wine, to be able to make something so exquisite, how extravagant. Compared to this, I prefer the tribal artifacts from the Five Star Continent, the mysterious beauty is more attractive. "A noblewoman sighed.
"The Ancient Eastern Kingdom doesn't only have porcelain vases, there are other exquisite artifacts and antiques, and many of them are historical. There are also many that are mysterious, like that plum blossom silver cup over there … "The old man with the glasses was not convinced.
The two of them started to argue softly. Very soon, new people joined in.
Garon listened to their discussion quietly, changing his direction from time to time. Almost every black pillar he walked to, he could hear the heated debate.
Some people doubted the authenticity of the collection, some were doubtful of the value of the collection, and some were even prepared to contact the owner of the collection to buy it.
The exhibition had just started, but the atmosphere was already unusually good.
Garon did not see the King of Nightmares and Andrela, they each had their own plans and methods. The three of them had a common goal, but the way to achieve it was different due to their different personalities.
