Cataclysm King

Chapter 476 Qin Rushi arrives

Not long after, Ji Xun walked out of the Parkway Theater.

When his feet stepped out of the theater door, he exhaled a long breath of relief: "Huh"

He glanced back at the scarlet curtain of the theater, and there was a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

Although there was no conflict in the previous communication with Xie Guozhong, only he knew clearly that the oppressive feeling of talking to the will of an external **** was so clear that it made people's hair stand on end.

Lao Xie is still the old friend he knew.

But not entirely.

Lao Xie allowed him to see the opposition between justice and evil, the conflict between chaos and law, a very contradictory individual.

Ji Xun couldn't describe the weird feeling.

A friend, but not quite.

This made Ji Xun's own attitude towards him contradictory.

As for the follow-up of the magic sword [Tirfeng]

Ji Xun never dwells on things he can't change.

From the moment Xie Guozhong came to the door, now was the best negotiation outcome he could see.

In other words, since he got this big sword a long time ago, it was destined that this thing would fall into the opponent's hands today.

Ji Xun couldn't help but think of what the guy once said when he asked Jia Yu how to deal with the [jar], which sounded very mysterious to the world: Most high-level ancient relics involve special rules of fate. No matter what process it goes through, it will eventually fall into the hands of the person who suits it.

Now, that sentence seems to be gradually understood.

Ji Xun saw the fate line that no matter how changed, the outcome was already destined.

There are not many people in the world who can use this magic sword [Tirfeng], so no matter where this sword is, it cannot change the result of falling into the Scarlet Sect.

Ji Xun thought, his eyes gradually became distant, and the lines of fate were deduced from the past to the future.

Xie Guozhong borrowed the sword for the mysterious giant hand of the Royal Academy.

But it's not that easy either.

The Holy Holy See is still the overlord of the Southern Continent. With the foundation accumulated over countless years, they have more power than anyone imagines.

People in the Holy See must know the situation of the Scarlet Sect better than others, so they must be on guard.

The giant hand of the Royal Academy was exposed, and they must have thought that it might attract vampires.

There may not even be a deliberate plan to design a "bait"

The game between the two parties is far from being as simple as it seems.

His thoughts were whirling, and Ji Xun sighed slightly again.

The content of the conversation is inherently informative.

But the message hidden in it is even greater.

He narrowed his eyes and recalled what Xie Guozhong said when he was leaving: "But then again, the death of Emperor Lanlingst was actually related to the Illuminati Sect? And the 'Lord of Military Disasters, Monliod' also appeared."

He has been paying attention to the situation in the Southern Continent, and the recent intelligence he has obtained also shows that the Airel Empire is on the eve of a storm.

Today's conversation confirmed many of his previous suspicions.

Moreover, during the conversation, Xie Guozhong mentioned the "Illuminati Hermitage" in a very subtle way.

Although Ji Xun knew Jia Yu, the leader of the organization, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he still had no real understanding of the organization.

They are not in the historical record, but have existed for countless years.

Ji Xun has read through so many ancient books but has not seen any relevant records.

There is also a very crucial character who feels the same but is ignored by everyone, and that is "Old Man Xu".

Judging from what Ji Xun knows so far, Old Man Xu is an immortal.

The years he has lived may exceed anyone's imagination, and the secrets involved must also be beyond everyone's imagination.

And he was directly related to the death of Alduin, the last emperor of Talon, the Mad King.

He is an important figure at certain key historical junctures.

He is such a person who changed the direction of history, but has never been recorded in any classics, and has no legends about him spread.

If Ji Xun hadn't known him personally, he would never have thought that there would be such people and organizations operating in the shadow of history.

And no matter how you look at it, the turmoil in the Southern Continent seems to have traces of what happened before in historical events.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun didn't think about sorting out the chaotic thoughts and chuckled: "Haha, human history is indeed a big cycle."

He got on the Jumper and left the theater.

Time flies by and it’s another month.

North City, Maple Leaf Hotel.

In the hotel, Ji Xun had long been accustomed to this kind of days of hard training alone.

David had left a month ago.

At his level, Ji Xun could teach him everything, and the rest was his own experience;

Another point is that after the Scarlet Sect came to the door, it was not safe around him, so he guided him to travel.

It's dinner time now.

Ji Xun was sitting on a dining table piled with food. Next to him, a little loli was eating with her mouth watering.

It was Ivan.

There is also a plate of brightly colored Warcraft crystal cores on Zhuo's plate, and two elemental elves, Korra and Nina, are also enjoying the elemental dinner.

The two elves have become very familiar with Ji Xun, and they will occasionally happily hum a few beautiful songs of the elves while eating, which makes people happy both physically and mentally.

While eating, Ji Xun felt most relaxed.

Looking at the three little guys, it seems that life has some wonderful colors.

While eating, Cora suddenly asked: "Mr. Ji Xun, you said you are planning to go to the Warcraft Forest recently?"

Ji Xun took a sip of the broth and nodded: "Yes. I'm at a bottleneck in my advancement. I need a chance and plan to go to the forest to have a look."

Cora looked very excited: "Ah, great. When we return to the forest, we will definitely thank you for your hospitality during this time~"

Nina beside her also excitedly interjected: "Yeah! I will take you to find the ruins then. I don't know why you humans are so interested in those dilapidated houses."

In fact, the two elves didn't even know that they no longer disliked being by Ji Xun's side.

Ji Xun chuckled when he heard this. He was familiar with it these days, and he had heard a lot of stories about the elemental elves and the fairy forest.

Many of them are things that have never been recorded in the classics.

He also learned that there were so many creatures in the Warcraft Forest that he had only heard of in myths and legends.

Elemental elves are not unrelated to human civilization, but are inextricably linked.

In many ancient civilizations, humans and elemental spirits coexisted.

Some of the epic stories in history are spread among each other's ethnic groups.

Such as "the adventures of a certain human archmage and the elemental elves traveling around the world", "the dragon-slaying warriors and the elves teamed up to defeat the dragon", "the mysterious witch came to the forest to ask for healing spring water", "the prince and a certain elf's Love Story".

The four of them ate and chatted wordlessly.

Ji Xun had not planned to go to the Warcraft Forest before because he wanted to practice.

But now, it seems I have to go.

One is the recent situation, there are too many situations happening in the World of Warcraft Forest, and he wants to join in the fun;

There is also a bottleneck in extraordinary practice.

The avatar at the Royal Academy has read through almost all the books on the "field" in the library.

It was indeed an eye-opener for him.

He also learned too many ideas from those classics about how strong people structure their fields.

Ji Xun also feels that as long as he wants to build his own field, he can even choose from dozens of fields.

But he always felt that it was almost meaningless.

It's like a pot of good ingredients. Although it's rich, it's not stewed or blended together.

He knew this was a normal bottleneck period.

In this situation, there is no good way to solve it except hard understanding.

Previous experience is to go out more often.

So Ji Xun planned to go to the World of Warcraft Forest to see what was going on with the two elf groups.

Not long after, we had dinner.

Ji Xun packed up and went out.

At this time, as usual, he would go to Hunter Square Market to look for goods and inquire about news.

With the arrival of another wave of "treasure hunting", Djinn City, a city on the pass of the Titan Mountains, has become increasingly lively recently.

At every moment, adventurers and mercenaries from all over the southern continent enter the city to join the treasure hunting team exploring the Warcraft Forest.

In the evening, an animal cart team with a rainbow caravan flag also came from the north.

At the city gate, a queue several kilometers long was queuing up to enter the city.

On the Didramon car at the end of the team, several bored mercenaries looked at the huge city and mountains that suddenly appeared in the field of vision, and they immediately became energetic.

"Look! We've arrived at Giant Spirit City!" "We've finally arrived. Is this the legendary Titan Mountain Range? It's really an exaggeration. In the Eastern Wasteland, you can't see such an exaggerated mountain range. Also, the elements here are so rich that it's simply exaggerated. Ah, no wonder it’s so easy for card masters in the Southern Continent to advance. If we in Donghuang had such conditions, I should have reached the seventh level long ago.”

"That's right. This elemental law is so strong that it can be touched like wind."

"Hey, did you see that gap? Further south, there is the Warcraft Forest. It is said that there are Warcraft and all kinds of extraordinary materials everywhere. Recently, I heard the mercenaries in the caravan boasting that there are countless treasures buried in the forest. I can hear it with my ears. Cocooned”

"Chief, do you think we can hunt the eighth-level monster this time?"

"I've said it all, now I'm going to be called 'Leader'. It's hard to say what's the eighth level. As long as we can hunt some seventh-level monsters with mythical bloodline, we have the materials for advancement."

"I really want to get some giant dragons as mounts. The name 'Dragon Knight' sounds cool, and they can fly everywhere."

"Hahaha, not to mention other things, there are quite a lot of dragon-born creatures in the Southern Continent. But I heard that it is not easy to be a dragon knight. It is difficult to tame an adult dragon. If you want to, let's get it then. Raise a nest of dragon eggs for a hundred or two hundred years, and when you die, your grandson will be a dragon knight."

"roll!"

"."

This is a small mercenary group with only more than twenty people.

The flag bears the image of a great sword and shield.

"Big Sword Mercenary Group", an inconspicuous name.

In order to cope with the inspections along the way, they accepted the employment of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce and escorted the goods all the way to Giant Spirit City.

It was the first time for the group members to come to Giant Spirit City, and even the first time to the Southern Continent, and they all seemed very excited.

"Look, the white buildings at the foot of the mountain are said to be the famous 'Irel Royal Academy', a place with the most complete extraordinary heritage in the world. Unfortunately, only high-ranking nobles are qualified to study there. Otherwise, we When are you going to sneak in and take a look?"

"Don't think about it. There are ninth-level experts in the Royal Academy. With your stealth skills, Luo Sen, it would be a joke if you were caught and paraded on the street."

"Everyone should pay more attention after entering the city. In addition to the materials you are looking for, ask for more information about the emperor's relics."

"."

In the team, the female leader wearing armor and carrying a big sword looked at the brightly lit city in the distance. Her eyes were calm, but she seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of her eyebrows were slightly raised.

Xicheng, Leather Street.

The adventurer market here is more lively than a month ago, and there are many more stalls.

The adventurers casually laid a piece of cloth on both sides of the street, placed the ancient relics that still smelled of earth, and started selling them on the street.

Ji Xun walked on the street, looking at the goods on the stalls as usual.

It has to be said that more and more high-quality products have appeared in the market recently, and high-end Warcraft materials are also emerging one after another.

Ji Xun has lived in Juling City for so long, and of course he knows why.

Recently, as more and more adventurers have joined, the development progress of previously discovered ruins groups has been accelerating.

In the depths of those inaccessible forests, there are mostly top-level monsters and various unpredictable dangers. But recently, a large number of large mercenary groups and high-level hunters have arrived after hearing the news. Those dangerous areas are gradually being explored in depth, and of course there are more and more good things.

As Ji Xun walked on the streets, he would see some adventurers with powerful auras from time to time.

Most of them wear their team's badges on their chests.

"King's Knight", "Golden Spear", "Silver Moon Glory", "Red Oak".

The members of these top mercenary groups in the southern continent can all be seen.

Not only private adventurers, but also some noble private soldiers wearing standard armor, and groups of "Holy Dragon Knights" of the main legion of the Holy See wearing snow-white and silver armor.

These people have all gathered from other places and come to Giant Spirit City in the past month.

The news Ji Xun got from the intelligence dealer was that the remnants of the Light Party were driven deep into the Warcraft Forest, and vampires from the Scarlet Sect also appeared in the Giant City. The Holy See issued an encirclement and suppression mission, and the three kingdoms and nobles All troops were sent.

The city suddenly became so lively.

Ji Xun has watched things develop until now, so it's not surprising at all.

He even speculated that the focus of so many powerful forces in the Warcraft Forest was not just for encirclement and suppression, but was most likely related to the Emperor's relics and the "rumor".

Ji Xun has now basically confirmed that Emperor Lanlingst died somewhere in the Warcraft Forest.

He had wondered before why it was a certain place and not somewhere else.

There is now a rumor circulating among adventurers that the location where those cursed cards were found is the relics of a powerful and mysterious ancient civilization.

That civilization is so powerful that it has a fatal attraction for even the top card masters, and it may even have buried the secrets of the ancient gods.

There is a lot of gossip.

Ji Xun has heard at least dozens of versions.

Most of it is hearsay.

There are very few adventurers who can actually come back alive from that dangerous area, and the few information they have is monopolized by the real high-level people.

Ji Xun didn't have his own intelligence organization, so he could only rely on bits and pieces of intelligence to deduce.

Judging from the reactions from various parties and the recruitment situation of the mercenary union these days, the nobles are really trying to develop a dangerous area in the Warcraft Forest at any cost.

In other words, the "rumors" are basically credible.

There really is such a mysterious ancient civilization relic.

Ji Xun planned to go to the World of Warcraft Forest this time. In addition to the bottleneck of cultivation, it was largely because of curiosity about this "rumor".

With this in mind, he walked to the mercenary union branch on Leather Street.

He comes every day to check the information.

The World of Warcraft forest is full of crises, and there are countless top-level Warcraft and unknown dangers.

Griffith, the leader of the ninth-level dragon rebel army, had said that he had suffered heavy losses and returned home. Ji Xun, a sixth-level leader, was not arrogant enough to think that he could walk alone in that dangerous forest.

Especially the area that the legend pointed to was an exploration area that required a large team to survive.

So Ji Xun also wanted to find a suitable mercenary group for himself to go to the Warcraft Forest with.

"Exploring the 'Hidden Gem Cave', the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group recruits level 4 or above card masters."

"'Three-Headed Poisonous Dragon Lair', the Wind Demon Mercenary Group recruits high-level card masters related to fire professions, detoxification pharmacists, and plague warlocks. Warcraft materials are distributed according to work and contracted. Also."

"The 'Mysterious Balrog Passage' hunts down the seventh-level Balrog, and comes to the sixth-level and above black knights, priests, and pharmacists who are proficient in making fire resistance-related potions."

"."

Ji Xun checks recruitment information in the mercenary union.

It’s not easy to find a suitable team and a similar destination.

Recruitment of low-level adventure groups is everywhere, but the recruitment of high-level card masters has to be very cautious.

There are many mercenary groups or adventure groups composed of high-level card masters in Djinn City.

But except when downsizing, they rarely recruit unfamiliar teammates and are very cautious.

After all, in the crisis-ridden Warcraft Forest, teammates who are familiar with each other tacitly are even related to their own lives.

Just like the team before Ji Xun's clone, if they really work together and have a tacit understanding, a team can exert several times its combat power.

Although Ji Xun was strong enough, he didn't want to cause trouble for his future adventures, so he watched very carefully.

People in the tavern, intelligence dealers, trade union reputation, private observations, etc. After reading the information from various channels, I am paying attention to a few medium-sized mercenary groups.

But I don't particularly like them.

Ji Xun needs a strong enough team to dare to go deep into the ruins.

But that kind of team usually doesn't recruit outsiders.

Although he is not proficient in healing, his knowledge can be considered as a qualified wet nurse. It is not too difficult to find a team with this career sequence.

I was thinking of checking it out for a few more days, and if I didn’t find anything suitable, I would just randomly find a team on the list and contact them.

However, at this moment, several mercenaries suddenly walked into the noisy mercenary union. They walked to the bulletin board and checked the information.

Originally this was not surprising.

The union has more than 100,000 visitors every day, including many high-level mercenaries.

But Ji Xun didn't know why he felt familiar, so he looked over.

It was at this glance that he felt that some of those people looked inexplicably familiar, so he took another look.

"Isn't this the revolutionary army cadre "Broken Gun" Anlos? "

If Ji Xun saw it right, the lazy-looking guy, although there were some differences from his memory, wasn't it the same Anlos that Hong Lou had seen last time?

Seeing this man, Ji Xun thought he had made a mistake.

But after taking a closer look at the people around that guy, I was sure that I was right!

"Breaking Bad Doctor" Bonnie, "Holy Hammer" Sam, "Explosive Master" Lawson, "Demon Sword" Chen Jian Liuwu.

Aren’t these all cadres and core members of the Eastern Wasteland Revolutionary Army?

"Why did these guys come to the Southern Continent?"

Ji Xun just had this idea in his mind, and his eyes instinctively looked at the leader of the group, who was wearing armor and carrying a sword almost as long as his body.

The armor fits well and is obviously a women's armor.

Although there was a cold steel mask covering his face, he still recognized it at a glance and said in surprise: "Aunt Qin?"

Ji Xun didn't expect that he would meet Qin Rushi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, here!

Perhaps because he looked at her for a moment longer, the female leader with the sword on her back noticed that someone was paying attention to her, and glanced slightly from the corner of her eye.

The moment their eyes touched, Qin Rushi also recognized Ji Xun, and the caution in his eyes instantly turned into a soft smile.

She is one of the few people who knows that Ji Xun is in Jiling City.

Originally, I wanted to come to the Hunter Guild and send a message saying that I was coming.

Unexpectedly, we met directly by such a coincidence.
