Chapter 396 Mechanical City Dragon Hunter

Chapter 396 Mechanical City·Dragon Hunter

Griffith, the leader of the Dragon Rebel Army, is descended from the lineage of royal painters of Talon Palace three thousand years ago.

Therefore, her every move exudes the elegance of a palace official and the clean temperament of an artist.

Coupled with her peerless appearance and graceful figure, she is so perfect that it is difficult for anyone to mind her identity as a witch.

But Ji Xun didn't care at all.

He can accept his own inner distortions, and of course he can also accept the specialness of others.

But he suddenly understood why the magic mirror said "Lan Lingster, who transformed into a witch, is the most beautiful woman in the world."

Seeing Griffith in front of me seems to be able to confirm some of this.

The two of them chatted on the deck.

The void dragon boat was drifting toward the depths of the rift, surrounded by fog, and nothing could be seen.

But Ji Xun has a strong curiosity to touch the mystery.

This is his first time wandering through the rift in the world.

In front of her was a card master who stood at the top of the human extraordinary realm, and probably no one could explain her doubts better than her.

Ji Xun was curious, so he asked directly: "Senior, what's under the crack in the abyss?"

Griffith looked at the fog in the cracks and the pattering rain coming from nowhere, shook his head and said, "No one knows."

After pondering for a moment, she continued: "Even in the Talon Dynasty, no one figured it out. Countless adventurers paid the price with their lives to explore the rift. But no one has reached the end of the rift. Some people say it is the end of the world. , some people say that it is a passage to an alien plane. However, no one can be sure, because no one who goes too deep into the rift can come back alive. It is said that Emperor Lanlingst once soared in the rift to explore the truth of the world. But there is no record in the palace books about what the emperor saw."

"."

Ji Xun didn't feel surprised when he heard this.

The tomb keeper in Rune Highlands who lived for thousands of years told this palace secret.

Thinking that Emperor Lanlingst finally disappeared in the Southern Continent, he asked directly: "Senior, is there anything special about the Southern Continent? I mean, how is it different from the Old Continent or the Eastern Wasteland."

"special?"

Griffith pondered for a moment.

After all, the Dragon Rebel Army has been in the Southern Continent for many years, so of course they know.

She said directly: "The elements of the Southern Continent are richer, the laws are more perfect, and the upper limit is higher. This is very important for the practice of the card master. If we really want to make an accurate comparison, the Eastern Wasteland is as barren as a desert, with only a few resistant Dry vegetation grows; the Old Continent is like an oasis, with a certain perfect ecology; while the Southern Continent is more like a lush forest, giving birth to countless creatures. In fact, before the middle period of Talon, Middle-earth and the Southern Continent were just a few nearby areas. The most fertile place on the continent; but for some reason, the spiritual energy gradually declined. This was also one of the reasons for the decline of the Talon Empire."

The leader of the Dragon Rebel Army looked at Ji Xun's excited expression, with a faint smile on his lips, and said: "The Southern Continent is ancient and mysterious. Even now, human footprints in the Southern Continent are also very limited. I once went to the Southern Continent I traveled deeply, but encountered many powerful ancient creatures and was injured and defeated several times, so I gave up.”

Hearing this, Ji Xun showed a surprised look: "Is there a monster in the southern continent that can hurt you?"

Although I heard that Emperor Lanlingster went to explore it, legends remain legends.

He heard with his own ears that some ninth-level experts had failed to explore that continent, which made him full of curiosity about the powerful creatures on that continent.

"yes."

Griffith's eyes were as clear as water, and he said: "And there are quite a few. Although my strength is still at the top of the tower among card masters, in the endless river of time, I am as ordinary as dust and gravel."

As she said that, she glanced at the depths of the endless cracks, and then said: "The legend of the Southern Continent is the place where card masters originated. There are many unknown and mysterious existences there. There are even some mythical creatures that have lived for hundreds of thousands of years. I have known them before. I have encountered the [Stone Titan] as huge as a mountain range, and the mythical and legendary [Behemoth].”

As she said that, she smiled and said: "Are you going to ask why the Southern Continent is so special? I don't know either. If it wasn't because of my ability, I would definitely explore the secrets deep in the Southern Continent and find out the truth about the world. "

"."

Ji Xun listened quietly and learned a lot.

The two of them chatted like this.

Suddenly Griffith seemed to think of something and asked: "By the way, Ji Xun, you have helped me so much for our organization this time. Is there anything I can do to help you? As long as I can help Yes, you can speak up."

Aragorn had said before that for participating in this ship seizure, the leader of their organization would be grateful.

Ji Xun's eyebrows moved slightly and he smiled and said, "Senior, you are too polite."

Out of courtesy, you still have to be polite.

There was a faint smile at the corner of Griffith's mouth, and an encouraging smile in his crystal eyes, as if to say: Just say it.

Ji Xun was not too polite and said bluntly: "I want senior to give you some guidance on the practice in this field."

With Gong Wu's guidance before, he was able to advance smoothly to where he is now.

Now he has a very deep understanding of how important it is to have a senior guide on the path to transcendence.

This is even more valuable than any rare relics or skill secrets!

Griffith was not surprised that Ji Xun would ask this question. Instead, he was very pleased and said, "I heard Aragorn tell you about your situation before. At that time, I felt that your studies were too complicated and it might be difficult for you to get promoted. But Now it seems that you have your own path. If I guessed correctly, your career sequence should be a lost card master sequence outside of the fifty-two demon gods, or some special demon god inheritance before the era of chaos. .”

The other party didn't mean to go into detail, and Ji Xun didn't elaborate on [JOKER] either, he just nodded.

Griffith continued: "You have mastered so many sequences of magical mysteries, and I think you also have your own views on the idea of ​​'realm'."

Ji Xundao: "Yeah. My idea is 'all things field'."

If it is a single field, it is not difficult for him.

For example, the magical power [Natural Disaster·Earth Crying] points to a single offensive area. Once the construction is completed, the lethality will be greatly increased.

But after observing the Great Emperor's Stone Tablet before, Ji Xun confirmed that his idea was completely feasible because Emperor Lanlingst had once walked through it.

After listening to Ji Xun's statement, Griffith also praised: "Your field is the most bizarre idea I have ever heard."

As she spoke, she continued: "But regarding the understanding of 'field', everyone's understanding of the law is different, and the field is different. No one can get a 100% consistent understanding from the experience of others. What's more, if you want The 'field of all things' of realization is very, very special."

His tone was neither urgent nor slow. The leader of the Dragon Rebel Army was like an excellent teacher, explaining his views slowly.

She always felt that words could not express it accurately, so she added: "Let's take a look at the world in my domain first."

A clown appeared behind Ji Xun and said, "Senior, please give me some advice."

Griffith glanced at the phantom of the clown demon, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. Then he took out the quill and whispered: "Sanctuary·Beautiful World."

Probably in order to let Ji Xun see more clearly, the speed of using the domain was not very fast.

As soon as the seal fell, Ji Xun looked at everything around him as if it had been blessed with an "oil painting filter", and the entire sensory world turned into a colorful oil painting.

"Huh?"

Ji Xun is not unfamiliar with this feeling. He was trapped in such a twisted world in the "Monet's Sunrise" oil painting.

This is a comprehensive field with space restrictions and law-controlled fields.

While releasing the Holy Domain, Griffith explained in detail: "My domain is shaped based on the "utopian universe". Here, I can imagine everything I can think of. Like this. "

As she spoke, she picked up the brush in her hand and drew a circle in the void.

A magical scene appeared, and a huge fireball suddenly hung in the sky.

The light shone on the ship, instantly becoming scorching hot.

Ji Xun knew that she wanted him to understand more accurately.

"It's not just about changing the environment. There's this. Or this."

Griffith's quill dances in the air, outlining an impromptu graffiti monster.

In an instant, the thing in the painting fluttered its wings and transformed into a fire dragon soaring into the sky filled with rage.

Then, she changed her strokes.

In a continuous mountain range, a ferocious monster that looked like a hippopotamus, with a mouth full of fangs, human ears and a lion's tail jumped up from the mountain and pounced on the huge fire dragon.

Two giant beasts fought in the mountains, and the earth shook.

But the next second,

Move the brush again,

The mountains actually moved too!

A huge arm stretched out from the mountains. It looked unpleasant, but it accurately grasped the two monsters in its hands.

The giant hand seemed to be holding two mice and stuffed them into its mouth in one bite.

Only then did Ji Xun see clearly that the entire mountain range was a sleeping ancient giant.

Only then did he realize that these were the mythical creatures deep in the southern continent mentioned by Griffith before, [Behemoth] and [Stone Titan]!

It was clearly a painting in front of me, but the pressure belonging to the mythical creature seemed to be real.

Not to mention the two mythical creatures that he had never seen before, the power of the dragon exuded from the giant dragon was also terrifying that Ji Xun had never seen before.

The pressure coming from his blood was so shocking that Ji Xun seemed to have forgotten the passage of time.

It seemed as if the scene just now was not an illusion, but a fierce battle between top giant beasts that he witnessed with his own eyes.

Just hearing a chuckle, Ji Xun's sleepwalking mind seemed to be awakened, and then he came back to his senses.

Seeing that Ji Xun had reached the limit of endurance, Griffith put away the quill in his hand and praised: "You are stronger than I expected. At the level just now, even the seventh level is not necessarily certain." It’s bearable.”

With his pupils focused, Ji Xun's forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat.

As soon as he finished speaking, the colorful world around him quickly faded away and returned to its original appearance.

While his thoughts were still agitated, the gentle explanation came to his ears again: "Those are the mythical creatures I once saw in the hinterland of the Southern Continent. I painted them."

"call"

Ji Xun was stunned as he listened, and slowly exhaled a breath to calm down the shock in his heart.

He had never seen such a terrifying monster.

Immediately, he fell into deep thinking again.

Griffith looked at Ji Xunruo's enlightened expression, and his surprise disappeared for a moment.

She could see that the other party really understood, so she continued: "This is my field - the colorful world. In this field, I am both the creator and the rule maker. Therefore, I can draw anything I want The deeper the understanding of the laws of the universe, the more colorful it is. From a certain appearance, it can be regarded as painting the "cosmic phenomena". However, the "color" of the world in everyone's eyes is different. , the world you see must be different from mine. I’m just giving you some reference. I don’t expect you to follow my path, nor is it suitable.”

"Um."

Ji Xun nodded as he listened, and did not forget to add: "Thank you, senior, for your guidance."

It must be said that the domain of the leader of the Dragon Rebel Army really inspired him greatly.

It can be said that if we only look at the surface, this is his ideal "all things field".

All-encompassing, infinite possibilities.

Griffith's beautiful face always had a smile like the spring breeze, and said: "Your 'Field of Everything' is very special, and I don't have much advice to give. Since you know the art of 'I am the world' If you know the secret method, you will have the ability to construct the logical skeleton of a complete world, and the "utopian universe" can draw the skin of your fantasy world. Just knowing these two secret methods, you have already mastered a huge advantage that many people cannot have. . "

"."

Ji Xunshen thought so.

After seeing the field of this top powerhouse, he indeed already had an idea.

But just like a tree sprouting, it will eventually flourish and require a lot of nutrients.

Griffith obviously saw this, and she put forward her own suggestions, saying: "If you want to improve your field, you need enough knowledge and understanding of the laws. Look at other people's fields, and look at Fifty-Two Other sequences in the pathway. Help you.”

"Um."

Of course Ji Xun can figure it out.

Therefore, since he advanced to the sixth level, he has been looking forward to fighting against masters who have understood different fields.

But I always feel it’s still far from enough.

How could he meet so many strong men and still be lucky enough to escape death every time?

At this time, Griffith suddenly smiled.

As if she thought of something, she took out a card with a noble inscription.

Ji Xun cast a curious look, thinking it was some special treasure.

When I looked at it, I saw that there was a dragon crown and a castle on the card.

If you read correctly, isn’t this the symbol of the Airel Empire?

Before he could get any further doubts, Griffith explained: "This is the library card of the Royal Academy of Airel. If you really want to say where else in the world can meet your needs, I think it is only here. Dragon. It is much easier for a card master to advance to the seventh level than for humans. There are countless high-level classics in the Royal Academy, which contain a lot of practice experience."

"this"

When Ji Xun heard this, his pupils shrank slightly.

He actually had this idea before. Instead of accumulating bit by bit on your own, it is better to look for the experience of some seniors.

The more centralized a country is, the more knowledge is concentrated at the top. The Ariel Royal Academy has a large collection of high-end classics and the cultivation experiences left by countless masters over thousands of years.

Ji Xun deduced this plan from the trophies of the academy trial group that he had obtained in Luen Highlands.

It's just that he hasn't figured out how to get those precious high-level classics.

Whether it is stealing or robbing, the risk is extremely high.

Now that I see this library card, another smooth road beckons me.

As he spoke, Griffith did not forget to add the origin of the library card, saying: "Many years ago, I was an art and painting teacher at Irel College. So this library card has very high permissions. Be careful. A little bit, it shouldn’t be discovered.”

When Ji Xun heard this, the thoughts in his mind suddenly became active.

In other words, with this "teacher's library card", I can easily access the collection of the Royal Academy?

A few days later.

The void dragon ship picked up Aragorn and his revolutionary army who were still trapped in the Eastern Wasteland, and then stopped at the rock wall on the side of the abyss fissure near the old continent.

It will take a long time for the Dragon Rebel Army to get this ship to the hinterland of the Old Continent.

Moreover, the risk was high, so Ji Xun had no intention of following them.

"Ivan, you must be obedient and don't be naughty when you follow Mr. Ji Xun. When you have had enough fun, remember to come back early."

"I know. Mother!"

"."

In the dark cave, the little loli lying on top of Ji Xun happily waved to Griffith.

It was obviously a farewell, but the atmosphere was not sad at all.

Originally, sending Ivan to the Eastern Wasteland for refuge was just a temporary measure.

But this little loli was eating and drinking all the way with Ji Xun, living a comfortable life, and suddenly she didn't want to leave.

Ji Xun didn't feel bad, he was already used to his identity as a nanny.

What's more, Ivan's ability is also very special, and staying with him will be of great benefit to him in understanding the laws of space.

And with the means arranged by Griffith, no one from the Southern Continent will come to our door in a short period of time.

Not a big problem.

After saying goodbye, Ji Xun jumped off the deck and signaled: "Everyone, take care!"

On the opposite side, Griffith and Aragorn, as well as a group of Dragon Rebel Army cadres behind them, also waved their hands.

With that said, Ji Xun turned around and rushed into the cave.

Just like this, several days passed by.

Ji Xun continued walking through the ruins.

The rebel dragon army discovered the lost imperial capital Behemoth, and he was also very interested.

But it will take some time to find out the news about the ruins.

Before that, Ji Xun will go to the base of the Alliance Army to find Katarina, reminisce about the past, and tell her the news.

The development of large ruins cannot be explored by a few experts.

A large number of hunters are also needed.

Now the biggest force in the Old Continent, besides the people of the South Continent, is the Alliance Army.

They also need such opportunities there.

This day, the Old Continent, Black Wind Waterfall.

Ji Xun had seen some maps of the Old Continent before and had an impression of this place name.

There are no ruins nearby, even in the Talen period three thousand years ago, it was just a wilderness.

"The base of the Alliance Army is getting more and more remote."

Ji Xun sat cross-legged on a big rock, looking at the glowing forest in the valley in the distance, and heard the sound of the waterfall in the distance.

The location agreed with Katarina before was here.

The old friend was also very surprised to hear that he was coming, saying that he just happened to have something to say.

Katarina was punctual as always.

Ji Xun waited for a few minutes at the agreed place, and a blond woman in a white military uniform and heroic walked out of the darkness.

Ji Xun had of course noticed the person coming, and his eyes lit up after looking at this old friend.

It must be said that after not seeing each other for a few months, Catalina's appearance has not changed much, she is still bright and beautiful, but her temperament of a superior is more prominent.

This gave her a sense of cold and arrogant "stay away from strangers".

However, looking at Ji Xun, Catalina's coldness disappeared instantly, and her pretty face immediately showed joy, and she smiled and took the initiative to say: "Ji Xun, long time no see."

Ji Xun also smiled: "Ms. Carter, long time no see."

Then he added: "You are beautiful today."

This is a common greeting for courtesy.

But the two are already very familiar with each other, Catalina did not say thank you, but asked in a joking tone: "Oh, then you were not beautiful before?"

Ji Xun smiled and shook his head.

"Thank you~"

Katerina raised her eyebrows and responded to the previous topic.

As if she was very happy to be praised by an old friend, she explained: "Because you are coming, I put on some light makeup."

Ji Xun glanced at her and smiled: "It's an honor."

As he said, he glanced around, and it was obvious that he felt that the guards were more numerous and more strict than before.

Katerina was also very smart, and keenly caught his peripheral vision, and explained: "The situation is a bit special recently. Let's go, talk while walking."

Ji Xun: "Yeah."

Katerina led Ji Xun to the deep mountains and soon went underground.

During the simple chat, Ji Xun also learned that the Alliance Army has developed well in the Old Continent during this period.

The focus of the people in the Southern Continent is on the East Wilderness. The guerrillas of the Alliance Army do not have a stable regime yet, and the high-level officials of the Arel Empire are not interested.

This also gave the Alliance Army a rare opportunity to develop.

They stored food, dug deep underground cities, and explored ruins.

In just a few months, the scale has been very objective.

If they were not forced to do so, they would have no intention of fighting the people from South Road head-on.

"I'll show you a surprise!"

Catalina led Ji Xun all the way to the depths of the cave.

Ji Xun originally thought that this was also a temporary base like the previous one.

But gradually, he found something wrong.

This is a relic!

And it is still very well preserved.

The strange thing is here. Three thousand years ago, there was no city nearby. What kind of relic would be built here?

Just when Ji Xun was curious, after walking through several heavily defended gates, he suddenly heard the roar of a steam boiler.

When he walked to the last gate guarded by a pair of elite mechanical warriors, even Catalina was strictly authenticated.

She did not forget to explain to Ji Xun: "This is the biggest secret of the Allied Forces at present. Anyone entering and leaving the base must verify their identity multiple times."

Ji Xun became more and more curious as he listened, what exactly is here.

After the identity verification, the iron door that was obviously ancient black technology slowly opened, and a huge underground space came into view.

A world of steel and machinery!

It was like entering a huge steel monster. The towering steam tower stood like a giant, and the intricate pipeline network was like the veins of the city. The eyes were full of thick rivets spliced ​​together in a heavy industrial style.

What echoed in my ears was the hissing sound of steam release, the roar of giant gears biting, and the low hum of mechanical operation.

This is not an ordinary base, but a city built of precision gears and cold steel!

As far as the eye can see, the huge mechanical structures are biting each other and closely connected. The huge anchoring device fixed the staggered and stacked platforms, and various mechanical arms on the platforms were busy operating.

Compared with these huge mechanical equipment, the countless people busy on the equipment platforms were as small as ants, making people deeply feel a sense of oppression surrounded by "giants".

Ji Xun couldn't help but wonder: "Is this a mobile mechanical city?"

"Yes! This is an unfinished war fortress built during the Talen period. We named it "Dragon Hunter."

Katerina's tone was also quite proud: "It was probably because it was not completed and therefore not put into war, so it was well preserved. When we found it here, its main structure was basically completed. With this mechanical city, even if we face enemies dozens of times more, we have a certain chance of winning. And it is very mobile and can shuttle through the rock formations very safely!"

"."

Ji Xun himself is familiar with mechanical technology, but he has never seen a mobile mechanical city of this scale.

He looked at it with a hint of thought in his eyes.

Everything built in the late period of Talen was aimed at solving the outer gods and wars.

Therefore, the purpose of this mechanical city is definitely not simple.

Katerina also greeted with great interest: "Come on, I'll take you to have a look. There are many interesting black technologies in this mechanical city"

The Alliance Army has gone through many dangers in the Old Continent, and now finally sees some hope.
