Ever since the Magician Card was introduced, it had never appeared in public. Countless people had speculated about the abilities of this tarot card, which was second only to The Fool's Card.
In order to fully master the Magician Card, Li Xiang chose to stay in Lancelot's manor to rest. He wanted to familiarize himself with the functions of this tarot card during the holidays.
He had more than a month to rest. The incident in Monster City had also come to an end. Yao Lie's life was saved, but it would take at least three to five years for him to fully recover.
This was a fatal blow to the Lighthouse Player University and the Yao Family. Without a dean, the school would face a more difficult situation in the Chronometer Tower Consortium's year-end rating. The only thing that could be changed was the School Championship Competition.
As for the School Championship Competition, even the Zero Hour Source Style had made an exception to participate. This was not good news.
The Yao Family's demotion had also happened recently. He suddenly received a message from Histria, saying that they would move to Crimson Moon City. This was probably Night Shadow's arrangement. However, even the Polar night Magician was on his side. Naturally, he was not worried that the expansion of Crimson Moon City would be targeted.
Right now, that city had already taken in countless people related to him. Even the border troops and the Yao Family had been taken in. It would be strange if they weren't targeted. But since there was such a strong backing behind him, Li Xiang didn't have to worry about it.
His battlefield was the front.
After the gathering that day, the big Acana card holders of The Fool's Card left one after another. They had important positions in their own circles and in the continent. It was impossible for them to stay with their young master forever. They just needed to express their attitude.
However, Venus and Ayres chose to stay. They were originally part of the manor. Venus had been sent by Wessex to serve Lancelot since she was young. She was the maid who had stayed by Lancelot's side for the longest time. She was also treated as Lancelot's biological sister.
Ayres' situation was similar. However, his IQ was still normal back then. Later on, he sacrificed himself for the Genetic Warrior Project and received unattainable power, but he lost his basic IQ.
A few days ago, Venus gave him the keys to the manor's machinery room. Li Xiang walked into his father's workshop for the first time.
Many of the scenarios that he had imagined did not come to fruition. There were no treasures that he had left behind in the mechanical room, nor were there any precious mechanical devices. It was just an ordinary mechanical room that could not be more ordinary. It could be seen everywhere.
Venus and the rest had kept the place sealed. They believed that Lancelot had left the core of the Disaster Weapon and the technology to extract the sealite here. However, none of them were proficient in mechanics, so they did not dare to let anyone enter the place.
In fact, there was nothing here except for a bunch of old mechanical devices and abandoned parts.
Li Xiang explored everything, feeling the silence and indifference of that man back then.
From the traces he left behind and Venus' description, one could feel that Lancelot was indeed very passionate about machinery, far more so than cultivation, even though his cultivation talent was extremely high.
However, this also proved that Lancelot's mechanical talent was not high. Even though he had inherited the family's Gear Eye talent, he could only be considered above average. He could not be compared to his brother, Cielo Wessex.
To the Wessex family who had established their foothold in the seven continents with machinery, Xiluo's value was indeed much higher than Lancelot's. His existence would even bring shame to the family.
"From the beginning to the end, he was not as powerful as others thought him to be in terms of mechanics." Li Xiang sighed. It was because Lancelot had created a Disaster weapon that even Xiluo could not create. It was also because he had developed the technology to extract the source substance. That was why he was praised to the same level as Duke Xiluo.
After quietly waiting in the machinery room for three days, Li Xiang finally found the answer he was looking for.
"So that's how it is …" Li Xiang picked up a broken mechanical part. From an outsider's point of view, it was not much different from a normal gear. He exerted a little force, and the gear turned into specks of faint golden light that merged into his body.
A wave of comfort that he had never felt before almost made Li Xiang moan.
These were all!
Whether it was the mechanical device or the parts, they were all Lancelot's final gifts to him!
Li Xiang did not know what method Lancelot had used, but these machines contained sealite particles that were far stronger than normal. In the past, Li Xiang's decomposition ability had required many mechanical parts to achieve the same effect as the gear he had just seen.
The mechanical roulette's ability was Lancelot's secret.
It was also the key to his ability to create the Disaster Weapon and extract the sealite.
Li Xiang did not tell anyone. He only took out three hours every day to secretly decompose the machines in the machinery room. The rest of his time was spent either training or receiving one-on-one guidance from Venus.
From Venus's point of view, he had talent and strength, but he had not been able to use his true strength. Thus, she forced Li Xiang to train with Ayres every day.
Ayres looked dumb, but his combat strength was shocking. Furthermore, he was the strongest person he had ever seen in terms of physical skills!
A month later, Li Xiang walked out of the machinery room with a smile on his face. He had Venus burn down the entire place.
After absorbing all the machines in the machinery room, Li Xiang finally obtained the second ability of the mechanical roulette.
It could decompose the machines into sealite, and then convert the sealite into sealite gas, liquid, and solid forms.
In other words, he was now a human-shaped sealite extraction machine.
After Lancelot's death, only Wessex had mastered the sealite extraction technology. It was also the basis of their standing.
Everyone thought that Duke Silo had invented this technology, but it was actually something that Lancelot had left behind for his family.
He had seen the sealite extraction towers before. The only thing that worked was the magic array at the bottom of the tower.
Those patterns were similar to the patterns on the mechanical roulette.
"As long as I have enough time, my body will be able to dominate all machines!" Li Xiang was delighted to discover this. When that time came, he would have a terrifying advantage.
He did not tell Venus about the sealite extraction technology. Even though she had been one of his father's best friends, this secret was too shocking. It was enough to drive all humans crazy.
Wessex had relied on this technology to amass a huge amount of wealth. At the same time, he had gathered a powerful force that even the Five Kings did not dare provoke. However, he was still in the development stage.
Once Li Xiang's force grew to the level of the Five Kings, it would be time for him to show off his technology.
Unfortunately, Li Xiang was still unable to discover the secret of the Disaster Weapon.
.....
Within the Long Clan's territory.
Not long after the incident with the Yao Family, Dragon City, where the Long Family was located, was similarly attacked.
Chen Fei led a group of Tarot Card members to launch an even crazier attack on Dragon City while Chen Long was out. In one night, Dragon City was engulfed in a sea of fire.
In the sky, Chen Fei was holding a man by the neck. His body was hanging limp and covered in blood. Even his white shirt was dyed red.
"Draco, we are from the same generation after all. I don't want to kill you with my own hands. Tell me where the seal is, and I will spare your life." Chen Fei's body glowed faintly. She was like a god looking down at the sea of fire below.
"Hehe …" Draco laughed coldly. He had never thought that he would meet the goddess he once had a crush on under these circumstances. Back then, Chen Fei was the campus belle of the First Military University. She was loved by countless boys. Even after she betrayed the Tarot Card Association, she still had many passionate suitors.
However, when she appeared in the sky above Dragon City as the owner of the Great Acana Card, everyone finally gave up.
She had really stepped onto a path of no return.
"Then go to hell." Chen Fei's eyes flashed. Her burning fist instantly pierced through Draco's chest and burned him into purple ashes.
On the ground, the Tarot Card members were celebrating and howling in anger.
The Long Family's defense was stronger than the Yao Family. However, the invasion this time was even more terrifying. Just a few Great Acana Card holders were enough to deal with them.
Ji Yanqing, who was mixed in the crowd, sighed heavily. She followed her senior sister out for training and just happened to receive a mission to support Dragon City. When she rushed over, she realized that things had reached a point of no return.
During the Polar night, she was taken care of by the Chen Dragon Lord. Now that she saw Dragon City in a sea of fire, she felt terrible.
What was even worse was that Chen Fan from the Military Police also came to support!
Looking at the dazed figure in the sea of fire, Ji Yanqing felt an intense pain in her heart.
He must have never thought that he would see his beloved sister under such circumstances.
As if she felt something, Chen Fei lowered her head and looked at where Chen Fan was. The brother that she brought up single-handedly was looking at her with a burning gaze. There was confusion, anger, and longing in his eyes …
"You've grown up …" Chen Fei smiled and suddenly descended. Like a heavy cannonball, she crashed into the ground and sent the surrounding people flying.
Seeing this murderous god descending from the sky, the Long Family members all retreated. She had just killed the famous Draco of the Long Family's new generation. Who wouldn't be afraid?
"Chen Fan, retreat! Our Military Police doesn't need to lose too many people for an ancient martial arts family! You're the new member that the captain has high hopes for. Don't be rash. That woman isn't someone you can deal with. " The old member at the side reached out to pull Chen Fan. He knew that this kid would not care about anyone when he went crazy. He even dared to go against players.
But this woman in front of him was not an ordinary player. If she made a move, Chen Fan would definitely die!
"You're only a Level 1 Magician. She can kill you with a flick of her finger. Don't just stand there. Run." The old member's advice was useless. In the end, he sighed and took the lead to run.
Even Draco had been killed by her. Who else did she not dare to touch?
Chen Fan turned a deaf ear to the voices around him. He looked coldly at Chen Fei who was walking towards him step by step. Suddenly, he grinned.
"Why?"
Chen Fei only smiled and did not say anything.
"Why?"
Chen Fan roared at the top of his lungs, as if he wanted to vent all the pent-up frustrations in his heart.
"I'm asking you why!"
Chen Fei looked straight ahead. The expression between her brows was clear and serene. A strand of hair covered her left eye. The drooping shadow dyed her with a faint layer of sadness.
"You've grown taller, stronger, and stronger." Chen Fei walked closer to her brother. She gently pinched his cheeks, just like before. "The First Military University? The Military Police is passable. Why? Are you planning to join the military? "
"Why?" Chen Fan was like an injured lion. His eyes were red and his body was trembling as he looked at her.
Even a few days ago, he still had a glimmer of hope. His sister was a spy sent by the military. She had joined the tarot card game because of her difficulties.
But now, all his hopes were dashed!
She brought people to Dragon City and destroyed the home of the Lord of the Chen Dragon.
She clearly knew what this meant. She clearly knew that the Lord of the Chen Dragon was his benefactor and his teacher. But she still did it.
"How can there be so many whys in this world? Only when you have enough power can you chase after everything you want. Only then can you … protect the things you cherish. " Chen Fei sighed. This brother that she loved the most but had no blood relationship with still had a hint of childishness.
When she was doing tarot cards, she often paid attention to Chen Fan's every move. From the time he and Ji Yanqing left Seawatch City to the Polar night to the second phase of training, she watched them all the way.
Chen Fei was glad that Chen Fan didn't live in her shadow. Instead, he walked his own path.
This bit of childishness seemed to only appear in front of her.
"What do you want to protect? What do you want to gain? "Chen Fan gritted his teeth. He didn't understand. He didn't understand at all!
Chen Fei saved him from the orphanage. She gave him a name and gave him a reason to live. She had the talent of a noble child and quickly fulfilled the expectations of others. She even graduated from the First Military University, entered the military, and became a player.
She had everything she should have and shouldn't have.
Wasn't it enough to become a player?
"I don't understand!" he roared. He was helpless and in pain. Goodbye shouldn't be like this!
In the raging fire, an invisible crack separated the two.
The tarot cards were Ji Yanqing's enemy!
How should he choose?
"You will understand, but not today. Go back. She's waiting for you. "Chen Fei pushed her brother and looked at the girl with burning eyes not far away.
Her eyes were abnormally calm, but in the depths of that calm, there was an endless killing intent.
Her family, relatives, and the people she cherished the most. They were all mercilessly destroyed by the tarot cards, just like the fire in Dragon City.
Ji Yanqing hated this organization more than anyone else.
Now, the pain was even more intense.
She couldn't bear it anymore. Step by step, she walked towards Chen Fei.
Chen Fei watched her walk in front of her and suddenly smiled.
"You're not bad. Take him away. He'll understand." Chen Fei looked at the girl and ignored her killing intent. "You want to kill me?"
"Next time, I'll definitely kill you," Ji Yanqing replied coldly. She grabbed the stunned Chen Fan and strode away.
"What's wrong, Chen Fei? Is that your brother?" A voice suddenly came from the shadows.
"Mm. Let's go. Did you get it?" Chen Fei nodded.
"Of course. Don't you know my ability? So what if they hid the skeleton in the barrier? You, on the other hand, why do you have to fight to the death with the Long Family? Hehe … "
"Let's go." Chen Fei ignored him and walked towards the shadows.
At this moment, a hoarse cry came from behind her.
"Sister! I beg you to come back … "
