Renn learned this [Condensing Qi and Transforming Gang] very seriously.
This secret method is difficult for ordinary extraordinary people to get started, but what is even more difficult is to endure the loneliness and hard work day after day.
Condensing fighting spirit is a very boring process, like embroidery, you have to concentrate on it and spend your energy and time on it.
This is also the most important reason why the "first man in Omar" seventy years ago suddenly disappeared and guarded this treasure house for many years in this dark palace cabin.
In the martial arts world back then, he was no longer unrivaled. For a "martial arts idiot", wealth, fame, and pleasure are nothing compared to the pursuit of the highest level of martial arts.
Andrew then devoted himself to practicing this secret method, and then Ren saw this perfect complete book of the secret method.
... .
Two hours later, the teaching came to an end.
"Okay, I've taught you everything you need to teach, and you will have to learn the hard training on your own later."
Andrew originally just planned to settle the matter of "congratulations" and just give him a few words about the secret book.
But later I discovered that Ren was the person with the best "talent" he had ever seen, and the most suitable person to practice this secret method, so he began to cherish talents, and he talked about it until now.
When he said this, he couldn't help but add another sentence, saying: "Your talent is very good, maybe you can go further than me. But Qigong practice is a long process, and you may spend most of your energy on it for many years to come. Put it on top, hope you can stick to it..."
"Thank you, senior, for your advice!"
Renn nodded solemnly.
I benefited a lot from this lesson.
Andrew's words really made him feel that he had understood the true essence of "Qigong Master".
But not everyone can be a "martial arts idiot".
Not everyone can do it by practicing hard in a closed cabin for decades.
Especially for Ren, a time traveler who wants to see how wonderful this world is, the world of flowers is very tempting. He also needs a lot of time to understand the world, explore, take risks, and enjoy this journey through life.
However, although he cannot face the wall and meditate hard, he has a "smart brain" and spends a lot of time dreaming.
Twenty times the dream time, set up the systematic practice program in advance, and you can't be lazy even if you want.
Therefore, it is not difficult for him to practice this secret method.
Andrew didn't say much more. He didn't have much time left, and there was nothing he couldn't look away from.
Everything that needs to be taught has been taught. Whether you can ultimately learn it or not depends on fate.
... .
The secret method has been taught, and the "gift" matter has come to an end.
At this time, Andrew said again: "There is another guy locked up in the secret room. Doppler should have told you that he is his illegitimate son. Now, take him away too."
After a pause, the ancestor of the Spuglin royal family did not forget to complain about the old emperor, saying: "Doppler is too indecisive. Now that he has become the emperor, he should be aware of it. In that position, there is nothing There is no such thing as a mess of emotions, and the interests of the empire are above all else. If he had been discovered and killed earlier, how could he have reached this point... "
These words revealed the indifferent side of the emperor's mind.
In a position of high power, nothing is more important than the interests of imperial power.
Family, love, friendship... can all be given up.
When Ren heard this, he thought about the "illegitimate child" the old man said, and naturally it was the one with narrowed eyes.
He also didn't expect that Metternich was actually locked up here, and was guarded by a top powerhouse.
At this time, Andrew warned: "However, that kid is the inheritor of the 'Gambler Sequence'. His abilities are very difficult, and his temperament is also a little paranoid and twisted... You should be careful."
After a pause, he looked at Ymir and said, "Although Doppler said he should be kept alive, that kid feels very dangerous to me. If he does anything strange, just kill him."
Ymir frowned slightly as he listened.
She had no friendship with Metternich. She had only met him a few times by the Queen's side when she was in the imperial capital before.
I thought they were enemies, but now it seems that they are not.
Renn's expression remained normal.
When I didn't know his identity before, I always felt that this guy was doing things with two sides, and I couldn't figure out who he was helping.
Now that we know that he came for revenge, we can understand the things he did and his twisted mentality that wanted the aristocratic system to collapse.
... .
Not long after, the three of them walked through a dark, sealed passage.
The old man led Ren and Ymir to an iron door with a magic formation, and there were several heavy armored guards here.
Before opening the door, Andrew said seriously again: "The Gambler Sequence is a mental specialty. They are good at divination and spiritual curses, and their methods are unpredictable. This room has a ban on demons, but it does not completely limit his abilities... .So, you should pay more attention after entering."
The tone was very serious, as if after the iron door was opened, they would face a ferocious man-eating beast.
"..."
Ren didn't speak as he listened and frowned slightly.
Although he and Metternich only met once, there was no friendship at all.
However, he always felt that the guy was not bad.
Master Cavo had dealt with this guy for a while. His evaluation was: Metternich was a man of great talent and not a bad character.
If not, Kavo would not have given in on the key bet on the fate of Glory City.
... .
"Crunch..."
The heavy iron door opened, making a slightly harsh sound of metal friction.
It was a nice room, at least it didn't look like a prison cell.
Although there are no windows, it has all the necessary furniture and is quite spacious.
After hearing Andrew's warning before entering the door, Renn was ready to see a completely "blackened" Metternich whose violent personality dominated.
When I came in, I found that narrow-eyed man calmly playing poker on the table.
He heard someone opening the door, and he didn't seem surprised that someone would come looking for him at this time.
He raised his head and glanced slightly.
Whether it was Andrew or Ymir, two great masters in front of him, he didn't take a second look.
However, when he saw Renn, Metternich had a look of surprise in his eyes.
A moment later, he took the initiative to stand up with a smile and say hello, "Mr. Renn, long time no see."
His tone was very polite, and he acted like a harmless gentleman.
Renn also responded: "Mr. Metternich, long time no see."
Andrew on the side was slightly surprised when he heard that the two knew each other, but he didn't say anything.
At this time, Metternich guessed the purpose of the three people's visit and asked directly: "Did that old guy ask you to let me out?"
When Ren said "old thing", a flash of red flashed across his eyes when he looked at him.
After a pause, Metternich sneered and muttered again: "Tsk, tsk, it looks like... that old guy won't survive tonight."
"..."
Renn didn't know how this guy guessed the situation outside when he was locked up here, but he just knew it.
Could it be divination ability? Ren guessed.
When the old emperor died, Metternich's great revenge was avenged.
But this guy didn't show much joy on his face, but said ferociously: "That old guy really thought I was able to survive because of his kind-hearted 'charity'? Hahaha... That's ridiculous. "
The tone was very low, and anyone could hear the sarcasm through gritted teeth.
Looking again, Metternich also transformed into that violent personality in an instant, with a coquettish arc overflowing from his mouth.
Seeing this, Andrew's pupils shrank slightly.
He turned slightly sideways, standing in front of Ren and Ymir, and warned Metternich coldly: "Boy, if it weren't for the fact that you have the blood of our Spuglin royal family, I would only keep you here." Live. Otherwise, the old man wouldn’t mind giving you a good time now!”
"Haha...Old guy, you don't have a few days left to live, why are you so tough in your words? Do you really think that I came back to Usenbar to wait for you to fall?"
Metternich taunted mercilessly, as if he was not afraid that Andrew would kill him, "After tomorrow, your Spurgeon family will become a thing of the past. Haha, what a bullshit royal family! Until now, you still think you so-called Nobles, the so-called royal blood can make them superior to others?"
"..."
Andrew didn't answer the question, but his eyes looked gloomy.
Renn could tell that he really didn't want to keep this guy alive.
At this time, the old man seemed not to want to see Metternich anymore, fearing that if he continued talking, he would be tempted to break this guy's neck.
He turned his head and looked at Ymir, and said in a deep voice: "Take him out."
Ymir felt that the atmosphere was strange, and turned his head to glance at Ren with his peripheral vision.
She is also an Omar royal family, so she was also affected by this map cannon. Although she herself knew that the competition for imperial power was fierce now, in the end it was all an internal struggle within the Spurgeon family, so the idea of "completely becoming a thing of the past" sounded harsh.
She had some doubts about whether her brother's decision was the right one. Is it really okay to let this guy out
Renn was used to it.
This guy has a violent personality and always says, "Dirty nobles should be destroyed."
He said: "Mr. Metternich, we are here at the request of His Majesty Doppler. He wants us to take you out of the Imperial Capital of Omar alive."
Hearing Ren's words, Metternich seemed to suddenly regain his composure.
"Go out?"
He shook his head, as if he had no intention of leaving.
At this time, he said slowly: "Before I died, I had a little regret. That was that I didn't go to the popular 'Black Dragon City'. Unexpectedly, now I saw Lei as the city lord. Yes sir."
After a moment of pause, he looked at Ren with his iconic squinted eyes, and showed a sunny smile: "Mr. Ren, you are really surprising. I didn't expect that you actually used your... He built an ideal city based on the theory of social order."
Before death
Listening to this statement, Renn felt a flash of suspicion in his heart.
But he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he gave a wry smile and responded: "The establishment of 'Black Dragon City' is not due to me alone. It was due to His Highness Ymir, my teacher Ilubek, the Coleman tribe, and Tusi." The city that Mr. Te and everyone built together..."
Metternich shook his head and said: "Without perfect theoretical support, even with more resources, it is impossible to build such a great city. Mr. Renn has an astonishing talent that no one can match... "
He made no secret of his praise and admiration for "Black Dragon City" and Renn, and said: "Originally, I left some means to change the social order after the collapse of Omar. But now It seems that it is not as good as your 'Black Dragon City'. No... it is far inferior. Such a feat by Mr. Renn has such extraordinary significance for this era."
"..."
If it were anyone else, it would be enough to brag about yourself.
But the narrow-eyed person in front of me... is a really capable person.
Ren was praised very highly and looked slightly uncomfortable.
Naturally, he did not dare to take credit. He established the social order of Hei Long Zeng, which was the crystallization of the wisdom of countless ancestors in previous lives and the result of countless historical trials and errors.
However, now is obviously not the time to talk about this topic.
To Metternich, who even faced Andrew as a formidable enemy, Renn didn't feel much of a threat.
At this time, he said: "Mr. Metternich, if you are not here now, please come with us."
Originally, I planned to go back to the palace to rest for a night, but after listening to a few hours of lectures, it was almost dawn, so I just happened to leave on the way.
But what people didn't expect was that Metternich refused: "Although I also want to visit your Black Dragon City, I probably don't have the chance..."
"???"
Ren was confused.
This guy looked rosy and didn't look like he was ill. But what he meant was that he was not going to die soon
Ren vaguely felt that this guy's words might involve some special inheritance from his lineage of gamblers.
However, he got it right.
It seems that at the moment of death, Metternich had no intention of hiding anything and said: "I have been holding back the last 'gamble' just to wait to hear the news of the old guy's death. Now, I can hardly hold it back anymore. ..."
"But it's just right. It's almost as expected."
His tone was calm, as if he didn't care about his life or death. He glanced at Renn again and explained: "A gambler's life can only be taken away by God, but it can only be in my own hands! That old guy thought that by doing this, his conscience would be less condemned. Very soon. It's a pity... His 'charity' seems so ridiculous. My life has long been gambled with destiny. The use of the 'Joker Card' is not without cost... "
It turns out that the [Gambler Sequence] has very strong and weird abilities.
Whether it is divination or "clown cards", you are actually betting with your life to compete for a chance with destiny.
The greater the power of using an ability, the greater the cost.
Metternich continued: "In order to quickly master the inheritance of the Gambler sequence and get a chance for revenge, I used the [Joker Card] many times. This ability saved me from death several times, but the cost became increasingly higher. ..”
At this time, a strange scene occurred.
At this moment, Chapter 54 Poker's shadow suddenly appeared in front of Metternich.
Different from ordinary playing cards, the backs of these playing cards have some extremely mysterious magical patterns.
"You should be in this world"
"For the first time, in order to avoid being chased by my enemies, I used the clown card. Destiny gave me the opportunity to choose one of two. As long as I picked the red card, I would survive. I made the right choice..."
"The second time, I used it in order to advance to the fifth extraordinary level. Destiny gave me the opportunity to choose one of four. As long as I pick the spade card, I can survive..."
"For the third time, fate gave me the opportunity to choose the 'KING brand'..."
"..."
"The sixth and last time. In order to avoid Quentin's murder in Glory City, I used my ability to save death. But this time, destiny gave me a very difficult choice. That year, my teacher died in This time."
After a pause, Metternich narrowed his eyes and said, "This time, I need to pick out the 'Colorful JOKER Card' to survive."
As soon as these words came out, the three of Rennes immediately understood why Metternich didn't think he could survive.
There are fifty-four cards in the deck, and there are only two Joker cards.
There is only one color image.
Does this mean that his chance of survival is only 54? !
... ..
After hearing the aftermath, Ren could only say "fuck" in his heart.
This ability is so evil.
Every time you use an ability, you are gambling on your life. You must win continuously to survive.
If you lose a game, you die!
No wonder it's called "Gambler Sequence", this is so... so crazy.
At this time, Metternich suddenly showed a relieved smile.
It seemed that he was ready to die calmly.
"In the past few times, no matter how slim the odds were, I felt that I could survive. Because I had the belief to live for revenge. But now, fate has given me the best outcome. I really can't think of anything else. What reason can you ask for the hope of living from destiny..."
He was not in a hurry to choose the poker, and his eyes, which were narrowed into slits, were shining with brilliance.
After saying this, he suddenly looked at Renn, smiled, and asked: "Mr. Renn, which card do you think I should choose?"
For the first time, gamblers gave others the right to choose their own destiny.
