Chapter 450 Giant Spirit City

Ji Xun was pulled out of the quicksand by his teammates.

The injured second-level assassin had already run away.

As expected.

If they can't be killed in a short time, it's meaningless to waste time.

Compared with killing a few trainee knights who are meaningless except for venting anger, completing the mission is more important for the assassin.

Young Master Sack is not stupid. He has been fighting for so long without being discovered by the family's high-level guards. He must have guessed that this forest should be covered by some restrictive barrier.

So he was running all the way, just to get out of the range of the barrier.

Now seeing the assassin's anxious pursuit, Ji Xun is even more certain that they should be at the edge of the barrier.

Ji Xun was pulled out of the dark quicksand by the vines, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a lizard face full of scales.

Seeing that Ji Xun was not dead, Seli was relieved: "Brother Su Lun, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Ji Xun exhaled a breath of turbid air, and his face showed a sense of relief after surviving a disaster.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he felt something stuck in his mouth, and then he spat out a few mouthfuls of sand.

David and Gale had already gone after the assassin.

Even if they couldn't beat him, they had to go.

And Serri was a magician who couldn't run fast, so he stayed to save people.

Sister Zhuo Sha was treating the seriously injured Gang Duoduo.

Ji Xun glanced at him, and the dwarf's talent of thick skin and flesh saved this guy's life.

Although the wound cut by the dagger was deep, he still had a breath.

With the high-level potion of the Duke's Mansion and the accompanying priest, it was highly likely that he would not die.

Now that he knew the overall situation was decided, Ji Xun completely relaxed.

In this review, none of the six people in the team died.

And it was amazing that the three magicians who should have been killed first were not injured at all.

The three teammates present obviously found it incredible.

They actually survived the hands of the second-level assassin?

But now is not the time to say more.

Seli asked again in a hurry: "Should we catch up now and see?"

After saying this, Zhuo Sha and Gang Duoduo couldn't help but look at Ji Xun.

How could they not understand at this time that the fact that they didn't die just now had a crucial impact on the tactical command of this teammate.

That set of tactics seemed simple, but it required extremely calm judgment and observation to clearly arrange it in that emergency situation.

This is not something that ordinary people can do.

At least they can't do it.

Also, although "Su Lun"'s performance in the battle was not eye-catching, it was very. Special.

Especially the [Quicksand Spell].

This made them realize that the spell used to trap the enemy could actually be used to save their own lives?

They couldn't say what was so powerful about it, but subconsciously, they had already regarded "Su Lun" as the decision maker in the team.

Ji Xun didn't think that his performance was special, and his performance was just right.

The character setting of his clone was a talent with affinity for all elements, and he was originally planning to take the [Wisdom] sequence of a panacea profession.

If you think more actively, it won't be surprising to use any sequence of cards.

Hearing the question, although Ji Xun knew that the current situation didn't require them to do anything, he also said: "Well. Let's catch up."

Just now, they all risked their lives for that young master Sak.

Now that the crisis is over, they must show their faces and try to show their performance.

As they said, the three of them followed Gang Duoduo, who was seriously injured but still able to walk, while bandaging him.

The visibility in the forest was not high, and there were thick trees everywhere.

Ji Xun and his four companions rushed all the way, but before they saw the battlefield ahead, they suddenly heard a loud dragon roar in the sky.

At this moment, everyone knew that it was the high-level guards of the Duke's Mansion.

The swooping dragon in the sky was extremely fast, and it had already flapped its wings and landed in the forest after a few breaths.

The hurricane made the dense forest rustle, and Ji Xun and his four companions, under the dragon's might, tacitly accelerated their pace.

Now the master is in control, if they don't show their faces now, when will they?

In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the scene.

The high-level guard knights of the Duke of Langdon's family, as well as the enlightenment mentor of Young Master Sack, the seventh-level witch, also arrived.

David and Gail, who arrived first, stood far away.

Seeing the four teammates coming, they quietly approached.

The current situation has been controlled by the family's high-level guards, and there is no need for them, the reserve knights, to do anything.

Zhuo Sha bandaged Gang Duoduo, looked at the bloody wound on David's chest, and took out the healing potion.

Although David's expression was still indifferent, he did not refuse.

On the other side, the high-level priest of the Duke's Mansion was treating Sack's injuries, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong.

But the face of the young master was very ugly.

Ji Xun certainly knew why.

Because the young master's [Curse God Card] was lost.

Not long after Ji Xun and others arrived, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the forest.

A high-level assassin dragged two unconscious guys out of the forest and threw them in front of Sack, reporting: "Master, the assassins have been caught!"

Ji Xun took a glance at their attire and immediately recognized that they were the two second-level assassins just now.

Just now, they were chasing their team majestically, but now they were captured alive like dead dogs in front of the high-level card master.

But Ji Xun knew very well that even if he caught them alive, he would not be able to get any clues.

From the moment they failed to kill Sack, it made no sense for these two men to exist, whether they were alive or not.

Young Master Sack looked at the two assassins, his eyes were cold as if he wanted to kill someone.

If he hadn't been lucky before, he would have almost died in the hands of these low-level assassins.

But he didn't care about these assassins who were already dead in his eyes, but asked in a deep voice: "Where is my [Curse God Card]?"

When asked in such a cold tone, the guard couldn't help but freeze his expression and responded: "I didn't find it."

Sack was furious: "Damn it, go chase! There is a 'ghost' among the people who took the entrance test of the Royal Academy this time!"

At this point, how could he not guess what went wrong.

Someone was selling murder on the black market and hired a killer to kill him.

But daring to take action in the college trial plan is not something that some low-level killers can do. It must be an "inside ghost" inside the college.

And if I hadn't given up the [Curse God Card] just now, that guy would have killed me too!

The guards responded intimidatingly: "Master. Captain Hook and the others have already gone."

Sack didn't want to hear this, and roared: "Go after them, all of you! If you can't find the Curse God Card, don't come back!"

"Yes!"

The guards didn't dare to respond, and after leaving a few people, everyone rushed into the forest.

Ji Xun's six-member team saw Sack's rage from a distance.

The others then realized that it was their master's [Curse God Card] that was lost.

The only one who was not surprised was Ji Xun.

Because the main body witnessed the whole process of how the great emperor's relic was lost.

As Sack guessed, there was a "ghost" among the tutors of the academy.

Under normal circumstances, hiring three assassins is enough to kill Master Sack and the group of reserve knights.

According to the original plan, the assassins can leave quietly after killing people. The "ghost" doesn't need to be exposed here now.

After all, leaving any traces may expose one's true identity in the academy.

Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.

Just now, seeing that the two assassins failed to kill Young Master Sak and were about to leave the enchantment area, the spy who was secretly observing had to take action.

It was because Sak thought of this that he decisively shot the [Curse God Card] in another direction at the last moment when he sensed the crisis.

He knew that the assassin had two goals, one was to kill himself, and the other was this relic of the emperor.

If the other party chose to kill, his means would be exposed, and he would definitely be tracked down to death.

But choosing to chase the [Curse God Card] not only did not expose his identity, but at least half of the mission was completed.

The result of the matter was the same.

Sak used this method to save his life.

But his Curse God Card was also lost.

And this scene was seen by Ji Xun throughout the whole process.

Originally, he had the same plan.

After seeing the outrageous use of the [Curse God Card], he wanted to disguise himself as an assassin to fish in troubled waters and at least find a chance to grab the card.

But in this way, not only would someone inevitably track him down afterwards, but the risk of the main body staying near the Royal Academy in the future would increase.

Ji Xun's current "I am the world" realm is already very high, he will not take any chances.

Once done, the logical line of the event will inevitably leave traces.

Moreover, there are some mysterious means.

Moreover, the hidden "insider" will definitely snatch it.

Ji Xun is ready to kill and rob.

However, unexpectedly, reality gave him a better choice.

Young Master Sack flew the card out, and the "insider" really chose to chase the card.

Ji Xun knew there was such a person nearby, but he had never found it before.

He didn't find it until this guy snatched the card.

The "insider"'s hiding method is very clever, like a ghost, without a trace of breath leaking.

I think it must be some very advanced invisible relics.

However, in the eyes of Ji Xun, who is proficient in the laws of space, even if it is invisible to the naked eye, as long as it is within a certain range, the spatial fluctuation can be sensed.

Similarly, with Ji Xun's current stealth ability, the other party can't find him.

Just as the two of them were chasing the card, Ji Xun sensed that guy.

But he didn't act immediately.

After the man got the card, Ji Xun quietly followed him for a while.

The guy was obviously very familiar with this forest, and had already prepared a retreat and various means to confuse the pursuers.

The pursuers of Duke Landon's family could not catch up with him at all.

This was convenient for Ji Xun.

He also found that the man's hiding method was very clever, but his rank was not too high, probably only rank five or six.

This made Ji Xun think of a more perfect plan!

After estimating that the cause and effect relationship of some mysterious methods was related to the insider, he used the [Space Rune Stone] to perform [Miraculous Hands].

The rank of the emperor's relics was too high to be placed in an ordinary storage space, which gave an opportunity.

Unexpectedly, the process went smoothly, and the man didn't notice it, so he stole the things directly.

Ji Xun used this space trick to fight against masters, and the probability of being discovered was very high.

But when used in front of a card master of a lower level than himself, the other party would not even know what happened, and the theft was already completed.

When the person found out that the things were missing, Ji Xun had already disappeared, as if he had never appeared.

He did not even know when he disappeared.

The timeline and logic are messed up, even if someone investigates it afterwards, there is no way to investigate it.

The probability of Ji Xun's true self being exposed will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, even if some mysterious forces discover clues, who can be sure which side is the one who did this kind of "black eating black" behavior?

Absolutely not

Just like that, Ji Xun got the [Curse God Card].

On the other side.

The people in the Duke of Langdon's Mansion are still tracking down the "insider", but of course they can't find anything.

Such a big thing happened, and the senior officials of the Royal Academy also went out.

Although a grandson of the Duke's Mansion did not have any special treatment in the academy, the incident happened during the academy's entrance examination, and the negative impact of this incident was great.

Many masters came to the academy to help investigate.

The two assassins who were caught alive were not only tortured in various ways, but even the top card master searched their souls to restore some of their tampered cognition.

But the clues obtained were also very limited.

This is a simple murder for hire.

The assassins are paid to do things.

The contact in the black market had been dealt with long ago, and the clues were completely cut off.

Everyone only knew that this incident was most likely an internal problem of the Duke of Langdon's family, and someone from the Royal Academy was secretly supporting it.

As for who took the [Curse God Card], no one knew.

Even Ji Xun and the other six were strictly interrogated.

After all, the six of them were the few people who participated in the assassination and were still alive.

But the fact is that their behavior of sacrificing their lives to protect their master was witnessed by Master Sak.

This bravery cleared all doubts.

Although Master Sak was in a bad mood because he lost his treasure, he also knew that loyalty was rare and prevented many in-depth investigations.

It also saved Ji Xun a lot of effort.

In this way, the team stayed in the forest for a whole day.

The means of the people who planned the assassination this time were very clever, and the clues that could be cut off were cut off at the first time.

Ji Xun did not inquire about the results of the investigation, but he could already guess that those people would naturally not be able to find out anything.

Just like that, Young Master Sak lost the relic of the emperor he had just obtained, and went to the Royal Academy in a rage.

However, after the news was reported back to the Duke's Mansion, Duke Landon did not blame Sak, but sent someone to deliver another equally powerful ancient relic.

At the same time, Duke Landon also personally sent a message to stop the college's investigation plan.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this highly targeted assassination is most likely a problem within the family.

If the truth is really investigated, it is probably that his Landon family will be embarrassed in the end.

So internal investigation is fine.

On the other side, Ji Xun followed the large group and arrived at the destination of this trip.

At the foot of the Titan Mountains, the Royal Academy of Arel is not a lonely academy.

There is also the largest adventurer city in the southern continent - Giant Spirit City!

The Titan Mountains are the dividing line between the three empires and the Warcraft Forest. All year round, a large number of adventurers cross the mountains to adventure in the Warcraft Forest.

And the pass where the Royal Academy is located is one of the safest routes for adventurers to go south.

Adventurers need camps and supplies, and the academy also needs a lot of materials and resources. The most important thing is that the students of the academy are either rich or noble, and they can afford to buy the treasures brought back by the adventurers from the depths of the Warcraft Forest.

Gradually, the majestic city of "Giant City" was formed near the academy.

The flying dragon carrying the group of people from the Duke of Langdon's Mansion landed in the city's special post station for flying dragons.

"Giant City" is as its name suggests.

The whole city is huge.

Because many of the buildings in this city are for dragonborn transformation, or for real dragons, they are much larger than the cities of humans in the East Wilderness!

Magnificent and spectacular.

This city alone gives people an indescribable huge shock.

Dragons like treasures, so palaces inlaid with gold and gems can be seen everywhere in the city.

Mysterious dragon runes and totems can be seen everywhere in the city, and the air is filled with a strong magical atmosphere.

Various elements are intertwined here, and elemental elves of earth, wind, water, and fire jump in every gap in the city.

The streets were crowded with people, almost all of them were adventurers with various weapons.

"Wow, it's so exaggerated. The Dragon City is bigger than the Red Dragon King Capital Acheron I've been to."

"The elements here are so rich. I feel that if I practice here, it will be at least much faster than other places."

"Duoduo, you don't know this, the Warcraft Forest in the south is the area with the richest elements on the continent. There is also a gathering spirit barrier in the academy, where can I practice faster?"

"Ah, I don't know, I haven't been away from home since I was a child, I have been working in the mountains."

"."

Almost everyone came to the Gathering Spirit City for the first time. As soon as they got off the flying dragon, they were shocked by the scale of the city.

Even though Ji Xun had already inquired about the relevant information, he was shocked for a long time when he looked at the majestic city in front of him.

There is a reason why the southern continent is strong.

The rich elements in the air alone are several times stronger than those in the Eastern Wasteland!

Just like fertile soil and Gobi, the nutrients they bring to vegetation are worlds apart.

For card masters, practicing is simply twice the result with half the effort.

No wonder the Royal Academy of Arel was built here.

Seeing this, Ji Xun couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "No wonder Griffith said that the upper limit of the laws of the southern continent is higher"

At this moment, he clearly sensed that not only the elements, but also the laws of the universe were also very different.

The biggest difference was the ancient academy at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

There was the most complete inheritance of the card master civilization in the world!

Seeing this, Ji Xun looked forward to his future studies in the academy even more.
