Cataclysm King

Chapter 476 Qin Rushi Arrives

Not long after, Ji Xun walked out of the Parkview Theatre.

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

He glanced back at the scarlet curtain of the theatre, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes.

Although there was no conflict in the previous communication with Xie Guozhong, only he knew that the oppressive feeling of talking to the will of the outer gods was so clear that it made his hair stand on end.

Old Xie was still the old friend he knew.

But not entirely.

Old Xie made him see the opposition between justice and evil, and the conflict between chaos and order.

Ji Xun couldn't describe the weird feeling.

They were friends, but not entirely.

This made Ji Xun's attitude towards him contradictory.

As for the follow-up of the magic sword [Tyr's Front]

Ji Xun never entangled with things he couldn't change.

From the beginning when Xie Guozhong came to him, now was the best negotiation outcome he could see.

In other words, when he got this big sword a long time ago, it was destined that this thing would fall into the hands of the other party today.

Ji Xun couldn't help but think of the words that Jia Yu said when he asked him how to deal with the [jar]: 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 fits it.

Now, that sentence seems to be gradually understood.

Ji Xun saw the fate line that was destined to be the result no matter how it changes.

There are not many people in the world who can use this magic sword [Tyrfeng], so no matter where this sword is, it can't change the result that it will fall into the Scarlet Sect.

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

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

But this is not that easy.

The Holy See is still the overlord of the southern continent. With countless years of accumulation, they have a power that is stronger than anyone can imagine.

The people of the Holy See must know more about the situation of the Scarlet Sect than others, so they must be on guard.

The Royal Academy's giant hand is exposed, and they must have thought that it might attract the vampires.

There may even be a plan to deliberately design a "bait".

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

Ji Xun sighed again as his thoughts raced.

The content of the conversation contained a lot of information.

But the hidden information was even greater.

He restrained his gaze and remembered what Xie Guozhong said before leaving: "But then again, the death of Emperor Lanlingster was actually related to the Light Sect? And the 'Lord of War Monliod' also appeared."

He has been paying attention to the situation in the southern continent, and the recent intelligence also shows that the Arel Empire is on the eve of a storm.

Today's conversation confirmed many of his previous guesses.

Moreover, in the conversation, Xie Guozhong mentioned the "Illumination Hermitage" very obscurely.

Although Ji Xun knew the leader of the organization, Jia Yu, after thinking about it carefully, he found that he still didn't really understand this organization.

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

Ji Xun has read so many books and has not seen any relevant records.

There is also a very key figure who has been ignored by everyone, that is "Old Man Xu".

From what Ji Xun knows now, Old Man Xu is an immortal.

He may have lived longer than anyone can imagine, and the secrets involved must have exceeded everyone's imagination.

And he is directly related to the death of "Mad King" Alduin, the last emperor of Taren.

He is an important figure at certain key historical nodes.

This is a person who has changed the direction of major history, but there has never been a record in any book, and there are no legends about him.

If Ji Xun didn't know him, he would never have thought that there would be such people and organizations active in the shadow of history.

And no matter how you look at it, the turmoil in the southern continent this time seems to have seen the shadow of what happened in historical events.

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

He got on the jumping dragon car and left the theater.

Time flies, and another month has passed.

North City, Maple Leaf Hotel.

In the hotel, Ji Xun has long been accustomed to this kind of solitary hard training.

David had left a month ago.

Ji Xun has taught him everything he can at his level, and the rest is his own experience;

Another point is that after the Scarlet Sect came to him, it was not safe to be with him, so he led him to travel.

It is now dinner time.

Ji Xun sat on the table full of food, and a little loli beside him was eating with a mouth full of oil.

It was Ivan.

There was also a plate of colorful monster crystal cores on the table, and Korra and Nina, two elemental elves, were also enjoying elemental dinner.

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

When eating, Ji Xun feels the most relaxed.

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

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

Ji Xun drank a mouthful of broth and nodded: "Yeah. I'm at a bottleneck in my advancement. I need a little opportunity. I plan to go to the forest to have a look."

Kora seemed very excited: "Oh, great. When we return to the forest, we will definitely thank you for your hospitality during this period~"

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

The two elves actually didn't know that they were no longer opposed to the days around Ji Xun.

Ji Xun listened and laughed. These days, he has 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 knew that there are so many creatures in the Warcraft Forest that have only been heard of in myths and legends.

Elemental elves are not unrelated to human civilization, but have a thousand connections.

In many ancient civilizations, humans and elemental elves coexist.

Some epic stories in history are circulated in each other's tribes.

Such as "The adventures of a certain human wizard and elemental elves traveling around the world", "The dragon slayer and the elves teamed up to defeat the dragon", "The mysterious witch came to the forest to seek healing spring water", "The love story of the prince and a certain elf".

The four of them ate and chatted.

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

But now, it seems that he has to go.

One is the recent situation. There are too many problems in the Warcraft Forest. He wants to join in the fun;

The other is that the extraordinary practice has encountered a bottleneck.

The clone has read almost all the classics about "domain" in the library of the Royal Academy.

It really opened his eyes.

He also learned a lot of ideas about how the strong construct domains from those classics.

Ji Xun also felt that if he wanted to build his own domain now, he could even choose from dozens of domains.

But he always felt that it was a little bit off.

It was like a pot of good ingredients, although rich, but not stewed and not integrated together.

He knew that this was a normal bottleneck period.

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

The experience of the predecessors is to go out more often.

So Ji Xun planned to go to the Monster Forest and take a look at the situation of the two elf tribes.

Not long after, he had dinner.

Ji Xun packed up and went out.

At this time, as usual, he would go to the Hunter Market to buy goods and ask for information.

With the arrival of another wave of "treasure hunting", the city of Giant Spirit, located at the pass of the Titan Mountains, has become more and more lively recently.

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

In the evening, a team of beast carts with a rainbow caravan flag also came from the north.

At the city gate, a team of several kilometers long was queuing to enter the city.

On the earth dragon beast cart at the end of the team, several originally bored mercenaries looked at the huge city and mountains that suddenly appeared in their field of vision, and they immediately became energetic.

"Look! We've arrived at Giant Spirit City!"

"Finally here! Is this the legendary Titan Mountains? It's really exaggerated. You won't see such an exaggerated mountain range in the Eastern Wasteland. Also, the elements here are so rich that it's ridiculous. No wonder it's so easy for card masters in the Southern Continent to advance. If we had such conditions in the Eastern Wasteland, I would have entered the seventh level long ago."

"That's right. The elemental laws are so rich that they can be touched like the wind."

"Hey, do you see that gap? Further south is the Monster Forest. It is said that there are monsters and various extraordinary materials everywhere. Recently, I heard the mercenaries in the caravan bragging about the countless treasures buried in the forest, and my ears are calloused."

"Leader, what do you think of ours? Can you hunt an eighth-level monster this time?"

"I've already said that you should be called 'Captain' now. It's hard to say about the eighth level, but as long as we can hunt some seventh-level monsters with mythical blood, we will have the materials for advancement."

"I really want to get a few dragons as mounts. The name 'Dragon Rider' sounds cool, and it can fly everywhere."

"Hahaha, apart from other things, there are many dragon-born creatures in the southern continent. But I heard that it's not easy to be a dragon knight, and adult dragons are difficult to tame. If you want, let's get a nest of dragon eggs and raise them. Raise them for one or two hundred years, and when you die, your grandson can be a dragon knight."

"Get lost!"

"."

This is a small mercenary group with only more than 20 people.

The flag has a pattern of a greatsword and a shield.

"Greatsword Mercenary Group", an inconspicuous name.

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

The members of the group were all very excited because it was their first time to visit Giant Spirit City, or even their first time in the South Continent.

"Look, the white building complex at the foot of the mountain is said to be the famous 'Airel Royal Academy', a place with the most complete extraordinary heritage in the world. Unfortunately, only high-ranking nobles are qualified to study there. Otherwise, when can we sneak in and take a look?"

"Don't even think about it. There are ninth-level masters in the Royal Academy. With your stealth skills, it would be a joke if you were caught and paraded through the streets."

"Everyone should be more careful after entering the city. In addition to the materials you are looking for, ask more about the 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 think of something, and her eyebrows slightly raised.

West City, Leather Street.

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

The adventurers casually spread a piece of cloth on both sides of the street, put those ancient relics that still smelled of soil, and started selling them on the street.

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

It must be said that more and more fine products have appeared in the market recently, and high-level magic beast materials have also emerged in an endless stream.

Ji Xun has lived in Juling City for so long, of course he knows the reason very well.

Recently, with more and more adventurers joining, the development progress of the ruins group discovered before has also been faster and faster.

Those deep forests where few people go, most of them have top-level magic beasts and various unpredictable dangers. But recently, a large number of large mercenary groups and high-level hunters have joined the dangerous places after hearing the news, and those dangerous places have been gradually explored in depth, and of course there are more and more good things.

Ji Xun walked on the street and could see some powerful adventurers from time to time.

Most of them had their team badges on their chests.

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

The figures of the top mercenary groups in the southern continent can be seen.

Not only civilian 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 silver armor.

These people have gathered in Giant Spirit City from other places in the past month.

The news that Ji Xun got from the intelligence dealer was that the remnants of the Light were driven to the depths of the Warcraft Forest, and the vampires of the Scarlet Sect also appeared in Giant Spirit City. The Holy See issued a task of encirclement and suppression, and the three major kingdoms and major nobles all sent troops to come.

The city was so lively all of a sudden.

Ji Xun has watched the situation develop bit by bit until now, so it is not surprising at all.

He even speculated that so many major forces focused their attention on the Warcraft Forest, not just for encirclement and suppression, but most likely related to the emperor's relics and the "rumor".

Ji Xun now basically confirmed that Emperor Lanlingster fell somewhere in the Warcraft Forest.

He had been curious before, why it was a specific place, not somewhere else.

Now there is a rumor circulating among adventurers, it is said that the location where those curse cards were found is a powerful and mysterious relic of an ancient civilization.

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

There are many rumors.

Ji Xun has heard at least dozens of versions.

Most of them are hearsay.

There are very few adventurers who can really come back alive from that dangerous area, and those few pieces of information are monopolized by the real high-level hands.

Ji Xun does not have his own intelligence organization, so he can only rely on those fragmentary intelligence to deduce.

Judging from the reactions from all sides and the recruitment of personnel by the Mercenary Union these days, the nobles really want to develop a dangerous area in the Warcraft Forest at all costs.

In other words, the "rumor" is basically credible.

There really is such a mysterious ancient civilization relic.

Ji Xun plans to go to the Warcraft Forest this time, in addition to the bottleneck of cultivation, to a large extent because of curiosity about this "rumor".

Thinking in his mind, he walked to the Mercenary Union branch on Leather Street.

He would come to check the intelligence every day.

The Warcraft Forest is full of crises, with countless top-level Warcraft and unknown dangers.

Griffith, the leader of the ninth-level rebel dragon army, said that he had returned with heavy injuries. Ji Xun, a sixth-level, is not arrogant enough to think that he can walk alone in that dangerous forest.

Especially the area pointed to by the legend, that is an exploration area that requires a large team to survive.

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

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

"The 'Three-Headed Poison Dragon Cave', the Wind Demon Mercenary Group recruits high-level card masters related to fire, detoxification pharmacists, and plague warlocks. Warcraft materials are distributed according to work and contracts. In addition..."

"The 'Mysterious Flame Demon Passage' hunts the seventh-level Flame Demon, and recruits black knights and priests above level 6, and pharmacists who are proficient in making fire resistance-related potions."

"."

Ji Xun checked the recruitment information in the Mercenary Union.

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

Recruitment for 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 the Giant Spirit City.

But except when they are reduced in number, they rarely recruit unfamiliar teammates and are very cautious.

After all, in the dangerous Warcraft Forest, tacit and familiar teammates even concern their own lives.

Just like the team before Ji Xun's clone, if they really cooperate well, a small team can exert several times the combat power.

Although Ji Xun is strong enough, he doesn't want to trouble himself in future adventures, so he looks very carefully.

In the tavern, intelligence merchants, union reputation, private observation. Under the information from various channels, he has paid attention to several medium-sized mercenary groups.

But he doesn't like them very much.

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

But such teams usually do not recruit externally.

Although he is not proficient in treatment, he has enough knowledge to be a qualified nurse. It is not too difficult to find a team with this professional sequence.

He was thinking of looking for a few more days. If there is no suitable one, he will just contact a team on the list.

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 flow of people in the union exceeded 100,000 every day, and there were many high-level mercenaries.

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

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

"Isn't this the cadre of the Revolutionary Army, "Broken Gun" Anlos? "

If Ji Xun is not mistaken, that lazy guy, although a little different from his memory, is not Anros whom Hong Lou met once last time?

When he saw this man, Ji Xun thought he was mistaken.

But after a careful glance at the people around that guy, he was sure that he was not mistaken!

"Deadly Poison Doctor" Bonnie, "Holy Hammer" Sam, "Demolition Master" Rosen, "Demon Sword" Chen Jianliuwu.

Aren't these all cadres and core members of the Eastern Wilderness Revolutionary Army?

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

As soon as this thought came to Ji Xun's mind, his eyes instinctively looked at the leader of the group, who was wearing armor and carrying a long sword almost as long as his body.

The armor fits well, obviously women's armor.

Although the cold steel mask covered his face, he still recognized it at a glance with a familiar feeling, 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 carrying a big sword on her back noticed that she was being watched and glanced at her from the corner of her eyes.

The moment their eyes met, Qin Rushi also recognized Ji Xun, and the caution in her eyes instantly turned into a gentle smile.

She was one of the few people who knew that Ji Xun was in Juling City.

Originally, she wanted to come to the Hunter Guild to post a message saying that she was here.

Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that we actually ran into each other directly.
