Chapter 45 Catastrophic Objects of Unknown Level
Hidden plots are very common in extradimensional spaces.
Probably like the difficulty level of the dungeon in the previous game.
When I first entered, it was normal difficulty, then elite, nightmare, hell and so on.
Continue to explore and unlock difficult plots.
This is generally good news for treasure hunters, too.
Because triggering hidden plots usually means better settlement rewards and the possibility of discovering hidden treasures.
Ji Xun has experienced this once before in the 407 space.
But this time, it was obviously different.
The previous information from the hunters was that this was just a low-level extradimensional space to farm skeletons.
But now it seems that the monster is more than just skeletons.
"Secret Keeper, Immortal?"
Ji Xun caught the keyword and thought about it for a while.
Since the layout person felt that increasing the difficulty of the space would threaten the life of Governor Cao, it was naturally not easy.
“Choose a maze that you can’t escape from, and then use monsters to kill people. This will be done once and for all.”
Ji Xun quickly figured it out.
He looked at the walls of the maze again, and without delay, walked towards the depths of the maze.
No matter what the cause and effect is, what he has to do now is to stay away from the Governor.
If it were outside, Ji Xun felt that if he, the card master apprentice, was affected, he would most likely be dead.
But this is in a different dimension.
The will of space does not change with the individual.
Even the layout person only made some layouts using spatial rules.
This assassination must be extremely dangerous.
But it’s not for myself.
As long as you stay away from the Governor, the risk can be reduced by 99%.
Ji Xun saw the current situation clearly at a glance and decisively chose to run away.
Within a few steps, the sounds of fighting echoed in the maze.
“Bang, bang, bang”
Guns and cannons echoed in the maze mixed with various exaggerated sounds like thunderstorms.
Because the maze is a closed corridor, sound will travel far.
Listening to the fierce fighting at that moment, Ji Xun figured out the direction and thought to himself: "We have to find a safe place to hide first."
There is no need to think about finding an exit to escape the maze for the time being.
Not to mention that he doesn’t know the route out. Even if he knows, he absolutely can’t go now.
Think with your toes, there must be an ambush at the exit.
Ambush those fish that slip through the net with a one in ten thousand chance of escaping.
It's safer to stay away.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun avoided the corridor where the fighting was coming from, and chose the opposite dark passage to walk through.
The facts were just as Ji Xun expected.
At this moment, outside the maze, two mysterious people wearing cloaks, a man and a woman, are hiding in the darkness.
Ambushing the lord of Innocence City, Cao Sihai, was a great nobleman of the Federation. This was considered a serious crime of confiscating his family and exterminating his family.
But instead of showing any signs of timidity, the two of them sat back and waited while chatting happily.
“That damn fat man Cao Sihai actually hid on the freight train and tried to escape back to the upper city. Tsk tsk, he really didn’t care about the face of a high-ranking noble. Once this guy dies, Innocence City will be completely bustling. "
The cloaked woman's tone was obviously gloating.
In contrast, the cloaked man next to her, who was half a head shorter, was taciturn.
Seeing that her accomplice remained silent, the woman said to herself: "I heard from the gossip that the Cao family recently obtained an ancient relic with a very high level of disaster. This time they escaped back to the capital. , I guess I also have it with me. It is said that the wanted criminal "Lone Wolf" Baron brought back from Devil's Crossing. I am also curious about what level of relic it is. ”
After hearing this, the man in the cloak became a little interested and smiled: "I spread the news. I was also the one who put up the reward on the black market."
The woman in the cloak turned her head and looked deflated. He pursed his lips and lost most of his interest in an instant, "Ah, is that fake news?"
The cloaked man shrugged and said: "It's not completely false, otherwise Cao Sihai wouldn't have left Innocence City in a hurry. But that guy is not holding the ancient relic that Balon brought out, but a 'catastrophic object' that cannot be contained."
Hearing this, the cloaked woman's eyes froze. He was very interested: "Catastrophic objects?" The man in the cloak continued: "The Cao family in Longcheng inherited some ancient books and information before the cataclysm, but they have not been able to decipher the clues. But more than half a month ago, the hunters who opened up the wasteland in the old continent The temple ruins recorded in the data were discovered, and many ancient relics were found, including the relic that could not be contained. The effect was unknown, and the level of disaster was not yet rated. Governor Cao left in a hurry. I want to take that cataclysmic object to Dragon City.”
Hearing this, the cloaked woman turned her eyes, looked at the extremely indifferent guy beside her, and asked again: "Are you not interested in that thing?"
After all, it is a catastrophic thing.
Things that can be called "catastrophic objects" have some unimaginable functions.
No matter what the rating is, once it appears, it will inevitably attract countless powerful people to grab it, and even trigger a war.
“It’s not that I’m not interested, it’s that I don’t make unnecessary attachments.”
The cloaked man Feng Qingyun chuckled lightly.
He explained his reasons again: "The ancient relics before the cataclysm all involve special rules of fate. They are gifts from the ancient demon gods, but not everyone can afford them. No matter what they have experienced No matter what the process is, it will eventually fall into the hands of the person who is suitable for it. This is fate. If this thing is mine, I will not miss it. It is destined not to be mine, and I cannot force it. Otherwise, even if I get it, it will be kept temporarily for fate. It’s just to add to the worries.”
“Ah, your fatalism is too far-fetched, isn’t it?”
The cloaked woman rolled her eyes at first.
As she said that, she still complained faintly: "If you put it this way, everyone is still destined to die. It's better to die early. Come on, come on, since your ability is so powerful, Calculate your marriage for your sister.”
"I don't know how to divination."
"The same goes for deduction. Come on, let me deduce for my sister whether I can meet an unparalleled hero. Well, he must also be handsome."
< br>"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Maybe you will be disappointed. I think there is a high probability that you will be alone all your life."
"Bah! Bah! Bah! You really deserve a beating. Can't you just pick a good one? What a bad ability, not accurate at all."
"."
The two of them were talking. A few digressions.
The man in the cloak smiled and did not argue, and returned to the topic: "At least according to the information obtained so far, whoever gets the 'catastrophic object' will suffer misfortune. The first person to find it is the Thunder Warhammer mercenary Ninety percent of the Corps were dead when they came out of the ruins, and all those who came back alive were killed by Cao Sihai. Later, six more people came into contact with that thing, but all of them died suddenly due to various reasons. Governor Cao is no exception. There seems to be a strange fate involved. And what’s even weirder is that no one knows what that thing is.”
After hearing this, he asked jokingly. , do you still want to take it in your hand? ”
Although the cloaked woman didn't believe it, she still recognized her companion's ability. She raised her eyebrows and said, "So evil?"
He said if there is a problem, there must be a problem.
“What if?”
The man in the cloak smiled noncommittally.
He didn’t say much on this topic, but instead said: “In comparison, this maze interests me more. I went shopping before and found out that this maze in the cemetery is The maze of resentment caused by the 'Mad King' Augustus of the Talon Dynasty who killed the tomb craftsmen three thousand years ago was the last recorded ancient dynasty before the Cataclysm. The period of history before the Cataclysm ended at this point. . Don’t you think this is more valuable than any treasure?”
"."
The cloaked woman rolled her eyes, obviously not feeling it.
The two were silent for a moment.
She was not interested in talking about this kind of topic at all, so she changed the topic directly: "The Cao family actually wanted to control Innocence City and monopolize the Old Continent. This time, they also eliminated the Frost Knight Legion. Here in Innocence City The Cao family's plan is completely ruined. Hey, tell me, who is paying for our mission this time?"
The man in the cloak said in an indifferent tone: "Does it matter who it is? Do you think that except for the Cao family, who else in the parliament does not think so? If the Cao family continues to dominate, I am afraid that they will not be able to satisfy the number of seats."
After a pause, his tone was as lazy as ever, but his eyes were hidden sharply, and he said: "The major cities have stayed in the rich mineral layer for too long, and now the pedantic old guys in the Federal Parliament are immersed in lasciviousness and luxury. They have long lost their heart for adventure. They have also forgotten their ancestral teachings and no longer explore the depths of the cave. But now that we have discovered the old continent, let those bloated old guys get up and move."
Hearing this, the cloaked woman complained: "Haha. Politics is really boring."
She was not interested in talking about this and asked again: "Is Cao Sihai dead now?" Well, what will happen next in Innocence City? Although the gangs in Lower City are fighting among themselves, they are now united in fighting against the outside world. Even if the governor is not the Cao family, it will be useless to ask the parliament to send troops. "Come to force me?"
The man in the cloak chuckled and said: "Can you kill all the rats in the sewer? Besides, Innocence City is not as simple as it seems. Anyone who wants to force it will definitely fail. "
The cloaked woman asked: "What should we do? We can't let these gangsters control the nugget dock to the old continent, right?"
The man in the cloak said meaningfully: "Strong things often begin to divide from within."
Listening to this nagging tone, the woman in the cloak rolled her eyes and lost the idea of continuing the conversation, "Forget it. You are suitable for this kind of conspiracy."
She asked again: "By the way, there seemed to be some special guys among those predators."
Man in cloak: "It's just a remnant of the old era. I have some connections there, and I've made a game, so I'll kill a few more people."
"."
The two chatted lightly.
And in the maze, it was already a tragedy.
