Cataclysm King

Chapter 195 Judgment

 Because before coming in, Ji Xun had obtained all the information from the Lion Heart Family's previous four explorations from Nanjing.

 So he also knows exactly which NPCs in Ironforge have not been triggered by anyone, and which ones are suspected of triggering advanced plots.

 This also brought him too much convenience.

Now it is more convenient to have the token of the City Lord's Mansion. When you meet NPCs, you can chat with them more or less.

He wasn't just wandering around. Along the way, he also learned a lot of information that he didn't know before.

Ji Xun didn’t care at all about being watched.

 The package in his hand was a hot potato. He must throw it away after leaving the city. Being noticed was intentional.

 On the contrary,

 What he cares more about is the plot itself.

To get the Holy Grail, A-level missions are far from enough.

He even felt that the plot related to the city lord Mo Sang might not be able to touch the Holy Grail.

 So, if you want to find the Holy Grail in this extra-dimensional space, you must need some unexpected ideas.

 The only information currently known to be related to the Holy Grail is the "rumor that the Holy Grail is present" prompted by Enlightenment.

The question Ji Xun wants to find out is, where is the source of this rumor?

Following this line of thinking, he asked some sergeants in the city.

  However, the information obtained is very limited.

Although it seems that it can trigger some side missions with great achievements, none of them are related to the Holy Grail.

Few people even knew that the white-robed magician Gan Luobi was in the city.

 Or it may be kept secret and not disclosed.

 Later on, Ji Xun changed his mind.

 He changed some inquiry targets.

  It is no longer about finding some senior generals.

Instead, he specifically asked some small people related to the life of the city lord's mansion, such as war horse breeders, kitchen workers and maids.

 After all, when the big shots come, the food, housing and transportation cannot be the same as those of these big-headed soldiers.

 Even if the NPCs don’t say it, the details will give it away.

 Ji Xun really found some clues about this question.

Ironforge is a city with a strong ordnance, and the food and accommodation consumption of the sergeants are recorded.

 Since five days ago, the standard of food in the City Lord's Mansion has been a bit ridiculously high.

  It was so high that Mosang, the Lord of Ironforge, would never be so extravagant.

Magicians are usually ascetics. The more powerful the magician, the lower the requirements for food and accommodation.

Ji Xun guessed from this that there might be a "big man" hiding in Ironforge who had a higher status than the white-robed mage Gan Luobi.

 It was precisely because he knew that Ganluobi was a court mage.

 There are not many people in the whole Kingdom of Delan who can have a higher status than this one.

Ji Xun felt that that big shot might be the key to the Holy Grail!

However, the big shot didn't show up, and the confidentiality work was done very well, so Ji Xun had no way of knowing what was going on.

 The one-hour repair was quickly over.

Thousands of people who entered the extradimensional space this time were divided into dozens of reconnaissance teams and each left the city.

Now what they have to complete is to trigger the B-level mission to intercept and kill the red-robed shaman of the demon clan.

 The previous explorations were mostly conducted by cannon fodder hunters. This time many experts came. As long as they are found, this B-level mission can be completed 80% of the time.

Ji Xun, on the other hand, quietly hid in an Ironforge NPC scout team and followed him out of the city.

 After leaving Ironforge, the surroundings became dark.

The NPC team that Ji Xun followed was heading to the southwest, which was heading towards the city of Bourbon, three hundred kilometers away.

 Surrounded by mountains, the environment is complex and there are large areas of dense forest.

 After walking only a few kilometers, the lights of Ironforge had disappeared into the mountain col behind them.

Surrounded by coniferous pine forests tens of meters high, the cold wind blows.

 The air is filled with the smell of terror and darkness.

Ji Xun remembered all the details of the military map he had seen in the city lord's palace before. As he walked, he also located his position.

 The intelligence has indicated that this is the area where the Demonic Vanguard appears.

However, Ji Xun knew that what he had to face now was not some demon, but the guys who were chasing him.

 Sure enough.

Without any warning, I could hear the "whoosh", "whoosh" and "whoosh" of the wind in the woods.

Before those NPCs had time to react, they were shot by the hidden arrows and fell to the ground.

Ji Xun reacted quickly and dodged the crossbow arrow that hit his thigh.

 In the blink of an eye, dozens of black shadows were surrounding him.

However, during the encounter, the NPC captain who was still struggling was also killed.

Ji Xun knew it was a third-level card master when he saw the sharp means of doing it.

Just by looking at these people’s neat tactics, I could guess that they were the elite of the Lionheart family.

Ji Xun himself does not use the secret technique of domination, does not use flying knives, and has not transformed into a werewolf. He can only be regarded as an ordinary elite among second-level card masters.

The opponent has dozens of elites, as well as level 3 card masters, so he will naturally get a beating.

Just a few moments after the attack, Ji Xun was cornered by a group of people in the corner of a big tree in the forest, with no way to escape.

With blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, he looked coldly at the group of guys in front of him who were all wearing gas masks, but he could tell at a glance that they were well-trained guys, and asked knowingly: "What are you going to do?"

His disguised identity was arranged by Nanjing's mother, so the Lionheart family obviously had scruples about taking action.

 The most important thing is that they must also want to know what mission they have accepted.

 So they will definitely be left alive.

At this moment, a person who seemed to be the leader of the group of people surrounding him spoke: "Tell me what mission you have accepted. I will spare your life."

The tone was cold and there was no mincing words.

　　But.it turned out to be a woman!

Ji Xun is still very familiar with this voice, and thinks to himself: "Bai Wei? Is this woman coming in too?"

Looking at the woman coming in, he also realized that the expedition lineup this time seemed to be quite exaggerated.

The Bai family's method has been learned before in the deep pit secret realm, and he can't be killed no matter what.

　However, it is better to be strong.

 I'm afraid that others are too weak to take on this A-level mission.

Ji Xun also didn't doubt this woman's methods and ruthlessness.

 But it’s all about acting.

He acted out the tangle with a subtle expression, and then waited for a crossbow on his shoulder before reluctantly taking out the package and saying: "A single-person A-level mission to deliver an iron furnace to the city of Bourbon three hundred kilometers away." A letter of request for help from the Lord of the Castle, Mo Sang.”

 “A-level mission?”

Hearing this, the expression of Bai Wei, who was sitting high on the tree trunk, changed, and she was obviously very surprised.

 I have explored so many times to do long before launching several B-level branch lines. I didn’t expect that this time I directly received the A-level branches.

 The A-level missions in war mode should not be underestimated.

 She shouted: "Give me the letter!"

Ji Xun didn’t hesitate and threw the package directly.

Whoever gets the package, the task will be transferred.

Bai Wei's expression changed when she got the package, and she asked again: "What's in the package? Also, how did you get this mission?"

When Ji Xun heard this, enlightenment had already appeared: "You are immune to the erosion of 'Power Word'"

 Hypnosis Spirit Mysterious Technique. Normally, it would be easy for a third-level Bai Wei to control a second-level card master.

 It’s a pity that there is a clown mask.

There is no need to lie about this, Ji Xun said directly: "I don't know. There is a magic contract on the package and I can't open it."

Then he added: "Before I entered, someone gave me information and some plot-related items and asked me to go to the City Lord's Mansion. I accepted this mission."

Bai Wei asked: "Who gave it to me?"

Ji Xun: "I don't know. I'm only responsible for completing the task."

Hearing this answer, Bai Wei didn't ask any more questions.

Thought she knew that the man in front of her was a dead soldier planted by the Oran remnants, so there was no problem with her answer.

However, at this moment, a sudden explosion was heard in the air, a figure broke through the encirclement, and disappeared in the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

 Things have been taken away and the purpose has been achieved. Ji Xun has no intention of keeping them any longer.

 He was sure that those guys couldn't kill him, so he chose not to transform and break out.

 Fortunately, the bet was right.

 He was hit by two more knives and an arrow in the back, but he managed to get out smoothly. After running for a while in the dense forest, Ji Xun didn't feel lucky at all when he saw that no one was chasing him.

He has seen the evil tricks of the Bai family before.

80% of the time, I was already possessed by a body or locked by some positioning method just now.

  But it doesn’t matter.

 Compared to the plot difficulty of this space, this threat is not too great.

Ji Xun distanced himself, but did not go far.

The werewolf's sense of smell allows him to easily locate the locations of those people through various smells in the air.

Those guys got the package, although they also suspected that it might be dangerous to open it.

 But they don’t have a “magic contract”, so they will definitely open it and take a look.

Ji Xun thought that if he waited, he would definitely find something.

 He was waiting on the branch of a tree, using medicine to treat his injuries while observing his surroundings.

 But suddenly!

 The [Devil Pointer] in Ji Xun's hand started spinning crazily.

"what's the situation?"

Ji Xun looked at the pointer in his hand and immediately thought of something.

He has enough experience from the last experience. This kind of pointer spinning means that there are many and very powerful demons approaching.

 “Did those guys open the package?”

Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, not sure whether there was something wrong with the package itself, or whether those people opened the package and attracted the devil.

 But he immediately set off to open a farther and safer distance.

Bai Wei's group obviously also has experts in perception, and they are far better at detecting danger than Ji Xun.

Almost not long after Ji Xun evacuated, he suddenly saw a bunch of fireworks rising into the sky, exploding into a dazzling light in the sky.

 This is a rallying firework.

 After discovering the mission target, each team will assemble at the same time.

 After all, hunting the "Red Shaman" is a team task. If it is broken up, everyone will die here.

 “Tsk tsk, it looks like there’s a lot of trouble. They gathered as soon as they arrived.”

Ji Xun was also glad that he had escaped.

 Otherwise, if you are surrounded by an army of demons, there is no guarantee that you will get out alive in this B-level mission where no one has survived.

 Before Ji Xun could think about it, the battle suddenly broke out.

In the forest, various gorgeous spell cards exploded, with violent sounds and lights, which were particularly eye-catching in the dark forest.

Moreover, the action of the battle became more and more intense from the beginning, and it didn’t take long before various high-level cards exploded.

 【Storm Tornado】, 【Sun Burning】, 【Meteor Falling】, 【Earthquake】.

Ji Xun originally watched the battle with the mentality of watching the fun.

 But when he noticed that more and more high-level cards were being used in battle, he immediately realized that something was wrong!

 Not just spells, but also demonic magic waves.

Fire and rain filled the sky, and the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.

 The shock wave blew strong winds from the face several kilometers away.

“No, with this intensity of battle, there must be at least tens of thousands of demons, right? And there are many high-level demons?”

Ji Xun is very aware of the elite fighting power of the Lion Heart Family.

Not to mention Bai Wei herself, the dozens of people just now, and the countless spell cards she carries, can definitely be easily killed when encountering the demon's vanguard army.

Even the "red shaman" in the B-level mission was considered to be a fourth-level B-level disaster, so he wouldn't have made the group of people so embarrassed.

 But the current situation looks like a large-scale battle no matter how you look at it.

The news of the battle is all over the mountains and plains, and both sides are fighting for war at all costs?

 But the intelligence says that there are only a small number of demon legions near Ironforge. Where did these monsters come from?

Thinking of this, Ji Xun's expression immediately became subtle.

 He confirmed that the package had been opened.

Moreover, it’s really a bait!

 “Old things. All the ‘Kingdom Heroes’ are for sale!”

Thinking of this, Ji Xunwei squinted his eyes and complained.

  But precisely because of this confirmation, the scope of various previous conjectures has been narrowed.

His thoughts also started to stir: "But then again, what on earth is Master Ganluobi doing?"

 In a normal war, as long as the military fortress Ironforge is destroyed, the goal will be achieved.

Even if the people in the city escape, the devil camp wants to see it more.

 In this way, we can drive straight into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Delan.

 But now that they are encircling them at all costs, it is not difficult for Ji Xun to guess that those demons are encircling some important person or information!

 The intensity of the interceptions and killings further confirmed that the information may be directly related to the Holy Grail.

Moreover, Ji Xun has now speculated that there is a mysterious "big man" in Ironforge.

Then the idea becomes clear instantly.

　　Dozens of teams of the so-called Falcon Legion went out to conduct reconnaissance in the city, but they were actually scattered decoys.

 This is the tactic of claiming to the east and attacking the west.

The white-robed magician Gan Luobi wants to **** the "big shot" out of the city!

To the north of Ironforge is the Devil's Mountains, to the southeast is the Youfeng Mine, and to the southwest is the only way they must pass to Pangbo City.

Even if we know that we are attacking in the east and attacking in the west, the direction is too broad.

Ji Xun could not determine the direction of the "main force's escape".

Thinking of this, his mind recalled the military map he had seen in the city lord's mansion before.

 After the magic is solved, the ability of photographic memory is strengthened again.

 The content must be read carefully before it can be written down.

 But now, even if he hasn't looked at it carefully, as long as he glances at it, it will flash in his mind like a photo taken by a camera. Within a certain period of time, he can recall what he saw.

Ji Xun tried his best to recall, and the scene in his mind seemed to suddenly return to the previous scene in the city lord's mansion.

He looked at the map on the table and suddenly noticed something: "No. There are traces of fingernail sliding on the map. Oh, that's the tactical route arrangement of the twelve NPC reconnaissance teams! Normally, the first batch of people leaving the city are all bait. Then these directions can be ruled out.”

Ji Xun's brain was working rapidly, ruling out all the possible bait directions.

 After elimination, he got two coordinates on the map: [Twin Towers Cliff] and [Echo Falls]!

  It is like a scale on a dial. When each scale extends, it covers a wider range.

 These two coordinates are tens of kilometers apart.

 But thinking of this, Ji Xun transformed into a werewolf without hesitation and rushed towards Ironforge.

 He was still not sure which one it was, so he could only try his luck.

 At least I have an idea, and there is a 50% probability that I may encounter it!

 The fighting in the forest became increasingly fierce.

After Bai Wei and his group blew up the assembly fireworks, thousands of people in the space rushed towards the assembly place.

 The demon vanguard in the forest also moved.

 The war spread across the forest.

Not long after, the werewolf transformed by Ji Xun suddenly jumped onto a towering rock and observed the fighting situation around the forest from a high position.

 As he was running, he suddenly realized something else.

  Blessed by the aura of the bad luck gambler, he felt that relying on luck, there was a high probability that he would guess wrong.

 Moreover, the more I ran, the more I felt that things were not as simple as I thought.

"Hey, judging from the current intelligence, the 'big man' has mastered the key information, and the devil will intercept it. So the news of the Holy Grail should have come from the human side. In other words, there is a spy in the human camp. High-level demon Wisdom must not be underestimated, and you may not be able to see through the tactics of attacking in the east and attacking in the west. Moreover, the wisdom of the white-robed mages is also extremely high."

 Ji Xunke never treats these NPCs as fools.

 He feels that what he can think of, others can think of.

 The competition now is about some details.

“That Mage Gallowbi should have guessed that they wouldn’t be able to escape Ironforge so easily. Could this be a cover-up?”

"And this "Battle of Ironforge" is only the early stage of the war, and it will not be so easy for the human camp to get the Holy Grail. Therefore, the 'big man' didn't actually get the Holy Grail, but just got the relevant clues. Could it be that they Not wanting to escape, but wanting to take the opportunity to find the Holy Grail?”

“Hiss, those guys won’t go to Youfeng Mine, right?”

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun suddenly figured it out.

From the perspective of an adventurer, he can see more information.

Since Space Will gave the clue of "Youfeng Mine", it must be useful.

Ji Xun immediately made a judgment: "[Twin Towers Cliff]! Here you can avoid the interception of the demon army, and you can go directly over the mountain to the mine!"

The more you feel that they have broken through and escaped, the safer this conspiracy will be.

Thinking of this, he ran directly towards the coordinates on the map.
