Cataclysm King

Chapter 463: You are a polymath, how can you be so brave?

"Did you find any important clues?"

Seri said he was asking David, but in fact everyone was looking at Ji Xun.

Everyone in the Langdon Team 16 knows that this teammate "Su Lun" always has some unique ideas to solve difficulties.

In this space exploration mode, wisdom is often more important than force.

The wise eyes of the [Eruditionist] would have discovered those hidden clues more easily than others.

David didn't know how to explain the series of things that just happened, and he couldn't hold back even a single word.

Ji Xun looked at the expectant eyes of his teammates and had no intention of hiding it. He said in a relaxed tone: "Yes. A hidden plot has been triggered."

Hidden plot?

With this opening, the expressions of the four people in Seri all showed a strange look.

You know, just now they and another team were knocking on doors in the village looking for plot tasks.

It does trigger several C and D-level side plots such as "hunting monsters", "cutting down trees" and "looking for medicinal herbs".

But that is something that only ordinary trial students would bother to do.

I can't look down on an elite team like them.

But now?

Just when they thought that the best tasks were monopolized by those from Duke Simon's family, the two people here discovered the hidden tasks quietly?

It was as if the knives had been sharpened long ago, and when they found a suitable prey, the eyes of the four people suddenly appeared with strong anticipation.

All four of them knew what the hidden mission meant.

That means super generous rewards and super high trial rankings.

Seri quickly asked again: "What's the difficulty level?"

"We don't know yet. But it should be B-level or above."

Ji Xun pondered for a moment, then added: "Well, the probability is higher."

He didn't say he was too dead either.

Because the S-level plot is not that easy to trigger.

This plot is currently just a preparatory task, and there are many areas that need to be explored in depth, so there is nothing bad to say.

And, this is team mode.

With Ji Xun's avatar's strength, it's impossible to pass the A-level plot. If something unexpected happened to the guy behind the scenes, his teammates would still be very powerful helpers.

"B-level hidden plot? Hiss. Then maybe the rewards will be as good as those of the A-level main story."

"Hahaha, those guys from the Simon family probably never expected that there is a hidden plot in the village, right?"

"Su Lun, did you discover something before and suggested that everyone stay in the village? Is there anything we need to do?"

"."

It was the first time for the four of them to explore an extradimensional space, and they had not realized the true meaning of Ji Xun's "more difficult".

All they see is excitement and anticipation of a difficult task.

Of course, they also know that all this is because of "Su Lun".

However, before everyone could talk more, a sudden enlightenment interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"Congratulations to the Thirteenth Team of the Red Dragon Royal Family for successfully killing Viper Bogg, the deputy leader of the 'Red Smoke Gun Bandit Group'. The key plot leader will receive an additional bonus of +20% for the first kill."

"B-level plot trigger: Bandit's revenge. Bandit deputy leader Boge was killed. The actions of the bounty hunters angered the vicious bandits, who will launch retaliatory attacks on nearby villages. Mission change, you need Survive in space for three days. In survival mode, you will be rewarded with an additional +10%, and you can get corresponding points by killing bandits."

This is a collective drama.

Everyone received enlightenment at the same time.

Gang Duoduo muttered: "What's going on? Those guys from the Red Dragon Royal Family are moving so fast?"

While they were still looking for clues, someone had already killed the commander-level plot target.

Seri seemed to understand something, and guessed: "Princess Sophia of the Red Dragon Royal Family sent a rally signal before, and she probably encountered a strong enemy. Now, looking at it, she should have killed the bandit deputy leader."

Hearing this, Gang Duoduo had only envy in his eyes: "Ah, attacking the deputy leader of the bandit must be at least a B-level plot. Those guys from the Red Dragon Royal Family are so lucky. They met the bandit leader as soon as they entered. We are still in the village."

In fact, they also encountered it.

But the vampire ran away.

Those who can complete B-level plot missions are already considered "elite" in previous assessment trials.

Not just him, everyone in the team felt this way.

They haven't realized the seriousness of the matter.

However, a flash of thought quietly flashed through Ji Xun's eyes, and he thought to himself: "Is it true?"

In the eyes of others, this is an ordinary encounter mission, but in fact, the D-level kill mission has become a B-level survival mode, which is more like a "space locking" behavior.

The person behind the scenes will not let the trial students get out so easily before they achieve their goal.

When Ji Xun thought of this, he glanced at the owl parked near the arrow tower at the entrance of the village. He was also wondering in his heart: "Did you use the instructor's authority of the academy to do it? From this point of view, the status of the troublemaker in the Royal Academy I'm afraid it's very high."

Can control the trial difficulty of [Babel Tower], trigger specific spaces, and select specific teams. This is at least the authority of those at the deputy dean level.

This is not just for money.

But the real top leaders of the college.

"It's strange. What is the purpose of such a big shot?"

When Young Master Sak was assassinated, Ji Xun actually knew that there was a problem within the academy.

But I have never figured it out. Doesn’t this Royal Academy serve the Holy See? How could there be a mole?

Is it possible that besides the Dragon Rebel Army, there are other opposition forces in the Southern Continent?

The difficulty of the plot suddenly increases. For the weak, it is a dilemma where death is possible.

But for strong teams, level B is just the right level of difficulty for practice.

Not long after Qidi appeared, Young Master Sack sent someone to summon Ji Xun's team to discuss tactical arrangements.

A few minutes later, in a small room.

Young Master Sack sat on a chair and listened to everyone reporting on the results of their exploration.

"We triggered a C-level mission at the blacksmith shop, and we need to go to the forest to find some special ores."

"Master, we just triggered a side mission that can be shared, investigating the footprints in the dense forest behind the mountain."

"There is another D-level mission, hunting the Warcraft wild boar."

"."

It has to be said that although no valuable plot was found, there were a dozen or so fancy branch plots.

Ji Xun felt dumbfounded.

The combat effectiveness of these Langdon family guards is considered outstanding among their peers, but when it comes to exploring the plot, they are really impressive.

They simply knock on the door, ask, trigger.

Of course, this most rudimentary method of plot exploration is impossible to dig out any valuable plot.

Space Will encourages adventurers to explore, not fools to explore.

Listening to others' reports, Ji Xun suddenly thought of his former self.

At that time, when I saw the mushroom-headed Jia Yu's ability to control everything, wasn't he just as ignorant?

When I came back to my senses, now that I had reached a higher level, I realized that the super active thinking ability I had long been accustomed to was far beyond that of ordinary people.

The truth of the world has always been there. From a logical perspective, there is nothing hidden.

It’s just that ordinary people “can’t see” it.

Ji Xun suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

He perceived more and more clearly the gap between "personality" and "demigod".

Just thinking about it.

Young Master Sack also noticed that the peripheral vision of everyone in the 16th team was flickering, and the words "We have something to say" were barely written on their faces.

Young Master Sack noticed this, and with a hint of expectation, he asked: "Serri, did your team 16 discover anything?"

Seri did not take the credit. He said bluntly: "Su Lun and David previously triggered a 'hidden mission' of unknown difficulty."

Hidden mission!

As soon as these words came out, everyone else, including Young Master Sark, was shocked and randomly happy.

Ji Xun then took out the cloth bag he got at the herb shop.

His explanation was not as detailed as before with David, he only said a few words.

Others thought that Ji Xun and the two had just gotten lucky and happened to trigger a hidden plot.

But they actually don’t care about the triggering process.

What they really care about is what the hidden mission is!

Opening the cloth bag, he saw an old Warcraft leather booklet inside.

However, as soon as these mission props were taken out, it was like pouring cold water on them, and everyone frowned.

Because the ancient texts in this book are all unknown.

"Serrie, can you understand what's written here?"

"I'm sorry, Master. This is an ancient text from the Alterac era. The academy hasn't deciphered much of it yet, and I can't understand it either."

"."

The air froze for several breaths.

I thought it was a mission-critical prop, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

And enlightenment shows that this is still a plot item that cannot be brought out of the trial space.

The normal way to deal with it is to throw it away.

If you want additional rewards from the Academy of Archeology, you can try to make a copy and take it out with you.

But Young Master Sack definitely doesn't like the academy reward.

What he is more concerned about is, what does this have to do with the hidden mission?

Seri of the Lizard Tribe doesn't even know this ancient writing, let alone others.

However, at this moment Seri set his sights on teammate Ji Xun.

Sack also knew that among his reserve knights, this "Su Lun" was the only card master in the polymath sequence.

He asked with the last glimmer of hope: "Can you decipher the contents of these ancient texts?"

However, without thinking, Ji Xun showed a regretful expression: "Sorry, Master, I don't know you either."

He also told the truth.

He had indeed seen many incomplete documents of the Alterac civilization in the library before.

But none of the ancient literature experts in the academy could decipher it, and he wasn't that powerful to understand it.

Now that I have encountered a complete classic in an extra-dimensional space, I can indeed decipher it if I spend some time.

However, this book is full of professional magic terms, and it is estimated that it will take at least several days to decipher.

As soon as Ji Xun said these words, everyone could not hide their disappointment.

It seems to announce that this hidden plot has reached a dead end.

However, David was the only one standing by with doubts in his eyes.

He couldn't understand that something that Ji Xun had put so much effort into could be completely useless? However, before everyone's disappointed eyes could appear on their faces, Ji Xun said directly: "Well, actually, you don't need to understand it, the things recorded in this book can also be used."

"???"

As soon as these words came out, the room was strangely quiet for a moment.

Eleven pairs of eyes looked over, staring at Ji Xun's face, and then the expectation that had been extinguished just now started to burn again.

Ji Xun has encountered this situation many times before when exploring extradimensional spaces.

Those ancient texts dating back to the civilization are a test of the will of space.

This is a kind of screening.

Only those who can understand it are eligible to get plot help in the text.

In the field of low-level card masters, if you can understand it, there is only one in ten thousand.

But even though he couldn't understand, Ji Xun's current thinking ability and knowledge had other methods.

Although others have strong curiosity in their hearts, they cannot speak out.

Young Master Sack asked directly: "How do you mean to use it?"

Ji Xun didn't do any ink, he opened the classics directly, pointed to the content with patterns on it and said: "When I chatted with the plot character before, she told me some contents in the classics. Just like this, This is a magic rune. Like a spell, it is a spell cast using elements."

"Although magic and spells are different in appearance, the elements they point to are the same. If I guessed correctly, this magic pattern points to the 'light element'. Judging from the pattern above, this is a kind of auxiliary magic .”

"And this is magic. It has the same source as the ancient spells. I happened to have seen it in some ancient books. If you guessed it correctly, this is a 'dispersion spell'. And the Holy See of Light once sent witch doctors I came to the village to dispel the dark power of the abyss, so I guessed that this was a magic used to dispel the fog at night. We don't actually need to understand the principle of this magic, we just follow the magic pattern engraved on the card. From the looks of it, this is a first-level light magic, it shouldn’t be difficult.”

"This is an enchanting formula. It should be engraved directly."

"And this is a potion formula. I can't understand what's written on it, but judging from the pattern, it should be an exorcism item similar to 'holy water'"

"."

Ji Xun pointed at the classics and talked.

He himself said that he got the information from NPC.

But in reality, most of it is his own knowledge.

In order to obtain these key plot props, he played the role of a deacon of the Illuminati Sect. He couldn't tell the NPC that he couldn't understand the manual for the basic priests of the Holy See, right?

He really didn't know the ancient writings of Alterac.

But with so much accumulation, and with his current super thinking ability, he has actually guessed about seventy-seven or eighty-eight.

Ji Xun tried his best not to stand out too much.

It explains in easy-to-understand language some of the key contents of the classics that can be used at present.

However, some of the ideas that he thought were very simple, to others, sounded like "I don't understand, but I'm shocked."

At this moment, the teammates had a deeper understanding of [Polymath].

For the first time, Su Lun, a polymath, shocked everyone, including Young Master Sark, with his knowledge.

Except Seri, who was equally knowledgeable and nodded frequently,

Everyone else was almost in a state of confusion.

In the academy they learn more practical skills.

The people in both teams are elite.

Each of them is proficient in many spells of their own sequence.

But if you ask them what the magic pattern on a certain spell points to, few of them can answer it.

The teammates listened to Ji Xun's story throughout.

They also know that their ears seem to hear a lot of important knowledge.

However, the brain didn't register anything at all.

The others also looked like they were trying to understand Ji Xun's explanation as if they were holding their **** back.

The dwarf Gang Duoduo has nothing to hide, and his bearded face is full of expressions of "who am I", "where am I" and "what did I hear".

At this time, Ji Xun said the last sentence: "I haven't seen the rest yet. But I won't be able to see it in a short time."

The whole room was relieved, feeling like they suddenly woke up after sleepwalking.

I don't know how serious it is.

Although they didn't understand what those complicated magic patterns pointed to, everyone understood one thing: these things are very important!

Young Master Sack couldn't express how he understood, so he glanced at Seri from the corner of his eye and asked: "Seri, what do you think?"

After all, Ji Xun's previous statements used a lot of uncertain words such as "I guess", "I speculate", "maybe", etc.

Sack also wanted to confirm whether the information was really as important as he thought.

Seri only had admiration in his heart at the moment. He made no secret of his emotion and said: "Well, I think Su Lun is right! This is a very important thing!"

Only those who truly understand what Ji Xun just said can more deeply appreciate the power of that kind of reasoning.

As he spoke, he expressed his opinion: "The above formulas, enchantments and dispelling magic are all very valuable, especially in this trial space. This gives us the guarantee to walk in the forest at night. It must also be the key to completing the subsequent hidden plot!”

"real?"

Sak looked happy when he heard this.

The two knights who took the wisdom route in the team both agreed with the same statement, so there was hope for the hidden mission.

Seri also followed Ji Xun's thoughts and said: "Yes! Whether it is possible or not, I think we will know just by trying to engrave a few spell cards."

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but try it.

Just like an exam, you may not be able to understand the test paper, but everyone can copy it.

Engraving spell cards is a basic required course at the Royal Academy!

In fact, many of the spell systems are inherited from ancient magic systems.

It's just that the magic with a carrier in the Magic Age is called "Magic Scroll".

The card system has improved many complicated procedures, put aside those magic patterns that point to gods to guide extraordinary power, and created independent and great card spells.

Of course, just copying the inscription completely like this won't work.

This is not an ordinary "Holy Light Dispersion", but should be called "Light Dispersion".

Among the magic runes are magic patterns that point to the **** of light.

There are also some magic patterns that are designed to restrain certain "special dark energies".

Even with Ji Xun's current knowledge, he could not fully understand the extraordinary power pointed by the incantations in some low-level spells.

You don’t need to fully understand it, just know how to use it.

The accumulation of knowledge and the wisdom of the ancient card masters have once again been put to important use at this moment.

Ji Xun and Se Liyi, who was proficient in elemental spells, worked together to replace the part of the magic pattern that required the power of the gods with the spell guide of the spell system.

Then after dozens of failures, the first [Light Dispersing Technique] was successfully produced.

When the spell was cast and the holy light illuminated the entire room, everyone became excited.

"Success!"

"Hahaha, this is different from the ordinary [Dispersion Technique]. I clearly feel a mysterious light element."

"."

The light illuminated the excited faces, and everyone started to mass-produce such cards.

Ji Xun was extremely confident.

This is where Space Will allows adventurers to challenge the "plot items" left behind by difficult hidden plots.

From discovery to improvement, it is very difficult.

But it's not impossible.

This is not a coincidence, but a glimmer of hope left by the will of space for the trialists.

Now that the spell card is made, there are two other formulas in the book, an enchantment formula and a holy water formula. You can start trying them according to the previous ideas.

Even if they don't have the required materials, they can most likely find them in the village.

Ji Xun also got a glimpse of the follow-up to the hidden plot.

The difficult plots hidden outside the main line will inevitably require the use of these plot items to deal with some crises.

For example, [Light Dispersion] is used to let people walk in the forest at night.

The enchantment formula gives people the means to kill unknown monsters in the fog;

As for the holy water Ji Xun, the use is not yet known.

But it’s a good idea to have some in reserve.

In this way, a group of people stayed in the house tinkering with war preparation items.

This is why Ji Xun shared it.

It would be impossible for him to produce so many plot items in a short period of time by himself.

Hours passed by.

At this time, special white flames lit up on several watchtowers in Yinshan Village.

Everyone knows that it is night.

At this moment, in the forest outside the village, the black mist gradually became thicker.

Because the white firelight in the village was dissipated, the mist could no longer corrode the area illuminated by the light.

The entire Yinshan Village is like an isolated island surrounded by sea water.

It was as if there were pairs of terrifying eyes staring at everyone in the village in the black mist, and an eerie and terrifying aura made the young students breathless.

While the Simon family were still paying attention to the white flames on the watchtower in the village, the Langdon family had already produced a large number of spell cards.

In the room, Young Master Sack was in a good mood.

The depression that had been brewing because Feren had taken over the main plot of the village chief's side completely dissipated at this moment.

But the plot items are there, but they seem to be of no use?

The current situation is that with guns, there is no prey.

The three items recorded in the classics are all plot items for specific environments. If they don't actively trigger the hidden plot, it seems to be completely useless.

It's night now.

Through the windows, everyone could see the oppressive black fog outside the village.

Since people in the village say that there are monsters outside, exploring the forest at night requires great wisdom and courage.

Even with those plot items, what if they are not used in the forest?

It's not yet certain what kind of monsters are in the forest, so going out rashly is not a good choice.

Just when everyone was still thinking about how to continue exploring the plot, what people never expected was that Ji Xun stood up again.

He took the initiative to propose a plan that everyone was thinking about but was extremely hesitant about. "Young Master, the fog in the forest outside the village is a 'taboo'. This is most likely a hidden plot. Now we have a spell that can dispel the fog." Technique, so I plan to go to the forest to look for clues and confirm the risks."

When he said this, everyone was surprised: You are a polymath, how can you be so brave?

Facing the unknown risks in the forest, everyone showed due dignity and thoughtfulness.
