Chapter 195 Judgment
Because before coming in, Ji Xun had obtained all the information from the Lion Heart Family’s previous four explorations from Nanjing.
So he also knows exactly which NPCs in Ironforge have not been triggered by anyone, and which ones are suspected of triggering advanced plots.
This also brought him too much convenience.
Now that you have the token of the City Lord's Mansion, it is more convenient. You can chat with NPCs more or less.
He wasn't just wandering around. Along the way, he also learned a lot of information that he didn't know before.
As for being followed, Ji Xun didn't care at all.
The package in my hand is a hot potato. I must throw it away after leaving the city. Being noticed is intentional.
On the contrary,
He is more concerned about the plot itself.
If you want to get the Holy Grail, A-level missions are not enough.
He even felt that the plot related to City Lord Mo Sang might not be able to touch the Holy Grail.
So, if you want to find the Holy Grail in this extra-dimensional space, you must need some unexpected ideas.
The only known information related to the Holy Grail is the "rumor that the Holy Grail appears" prompted by Enlightenment.
The question Ji Xun wants to find out is, where is the source of this rumor?
Following this line of thinking, he asked some sergeants in the city.
But the information obtained is very limited.
Although it seems that it can trigger some side missions with great achievements, none of them are related to the Holy Grail.
Almost no one even knew that the white-robed magician Gan Luobi was in the city.
Or it may be kept secret and not disclosed.
Later, Ji Xun changed his mind.
He changed some inquiry targets.
It’s no longer about looking for some senior soldiers.
Instead, I specifically asked some small people related to the life of the city lord's mansion, such as war horse breeders, kitchen workers and maids.
After all, when the big shots are here, food, accommodation and transportation cannot be of the same standard as these big-headed soldiers.
Even if the NPCs don't say it, the details will give it away.
With this question, Ji Xun really found some clues.
Ironforge is an important city of ordnance, and the food and accommodation consumption of the sergeants are recorded.
Since five days ago, the standards of the food in the City Lord's Mansion have become ridiculously high.
It was so high that Mo Sang, the Lord of Ironforge, would never be so extravagant.
Magicians are usually ascetic monks. The more powerful the magician, the lower the requirements for food and accommodation.
Ji Xun guessed from this that there might be a "big man" hiding in Ironforge who had a higher status than the white-robed mage Gan Luobi.
It was precisely because he knew that Gan Luobi was a court mage.
There are not many people in the whole Kingdom of Delan who have a higher status than this one.
Ji Xun feels that that big shot may be the key to the Holy Grail!
However, the big shot didn't show up, and the confidentiality work was done very well, so Ji Xun had no way of knowing what was going on.
The one-hour repair was quickly over.
The thousand people who entered the extradimensional space this time were divided into dozens of reconnaissance teams and each left the city.
Now what they want to complete is to trigger the B-level mission to intercept the red-robed shaman of the demon clan.
The previous explorations were mostly conducted by cannon fodder hunters. This time many experts came. As long as they are found, this B-level mission can probably be completed.
Ji Xun, on the other hand, quietly hid in an Ironforge NPC scout team and followed him out of the city.
After leaving Ironforge, the surroundings became dark.
The direction of the NPC team that Ji Xun followed was southwest, which was heading to Bourbon City, three hundred kilometers away.
Surrounded by mountains, the environment is complex and there are large areas of dense forest.
After walking only a few kilometers, the lights of Ironforge disappeared into the mountain col behind them.
Surrounded by coniferous pine forests tens of meters high, the cold wind blows.
The air is filled with the smell of terror and darkness.
Ji Xun remembered all the details of the military map he saw in the city lord's palace before. As he walked, he also located his position.
The intelligence has indicated that this is the area where the Demonic Vanguard appears.
But Ji Xun knew that what he had to face now was not some demon, but the guys who were chasing him.
Sure enough.
Without any warning, I heard the sound of "whoosh", "whoosh" and "whoosh" of wind in the woods.
Before those NPCs had time to react, they were shot by the hidden arrows and fell to the ground.
Ji Xun reacted quickly and dodged the crossbow arrow that shot towards his thigh.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of black shadows were surrounding him.
However, during the encounter, the NPC captain who was still struggling was also killed.
Ji Xun knew he was a third-level card master when he saw the sharp tactics.
Just by looking at the neat tactics of these people, I could guess that they were the elite of the Lionheart family.
Ji Xun himself does not use the secret technique of domination, does not use flying knives, and does not transform into a werewolf. He can only be regarded as an ordinary elite among second-level card masters.
The opponent has dozens of elites and third-level card masters, so he will naturally get a beating.
Just a few moments after the attack, Ji Xun was forced into the corner of a big tree in the forest by a group of people, with no way to escape.
Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he looked coldly at the group of guys in front of him who were all wearing gas masks, but he could tell at a glance that they were well-trained guys, and asked knowingly: "What are you going to do?"
himself The disguised identity was arranged by Nan Jing's mother, and she obviously had scruples about the Lion Heart family taking action.
The most important thing is that they must also want to know what mission they have accepted.
So he will definitely be left alive.
At this moment, a person who seemed to be the leader among the group of people surrounding him spoke: "Tell me what mission you have taken on. I will spare your life."
The tone was cold and there was no beating around the bush at all. .
But. It’s a woman!
And Ji Xun was still familiar with this voice, and thought to himself: "Bai Wei? This woman has come in too?"
Watching this woman come in, he also realized the lineup of this exploration. It seems quite exaggerated.
The Bai family's methods have been learned before in the deep pit secret realm, and he can't be killed no matter what.
However, it is better to be strong.
I am afraid that others are too weak to take on this A-level mission.
Ji Xun also didn’t doubt this woman’s methods and ruthlessness.
But it’s all about acting.
He acted out the tangle with a subtle expression, and then waited for a crossbow on his shoulder before reluctantly taking out the package and saying: "A single-person A-level mission to deliver an iron furnace to the city of Bourbon three hundred kilometers away." A letter of request for help from Castle Lord Mo Sang. "
"A-level mission?"
After hearing this, Bai Wei, who was standing high on the tree trunk, changed his expression and was obviously very surprised.
After exploring so many times to go long before setting off a few B-level branch lines, I didn’t expect that this time I directly received the A-level branch.
The A-level missions in war mode should not be underestimated.
She shouted sharply: "Give me the letter!"
Ji Xun didn't hesitate and threw the package directly.
Whoever gets the package, the task will be transferred.
Bai Wei's expression changed when she got the package, and she asked again: "What's in the package? Also, how did you get this mission?"
Ji Xun Upon hearing this, enlightenment had already appeared: "You are immune to 'Power Word' erosion"
With the mysterious method of hypnotic spirit, it would be easy for Bai Wei, a third-level master, to control a second-level card master.
What a pity there is a clown mask.
There is no need to lie about this, Ji Xun said directly: "I don't know. There is a magic contract on the package, I can't open it."
He then said: "Before I entered , someone gave me information and some plot-related items and asked me to go to the city lord's mansion. I accepted this task."
Bai Wei asked: "Who gave it to me?"
< br>
Ji Xun: "I don't know. I'm only responsible for completing the task."
Hearing this answer, Bai Wei didn't ask any more questions.
Thinking that she knew that the man in front of her was a dead soldier planted by the Oran survivors, there was no problem with her answer.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden explosion in the air, a figure broke through the encirclement, and disappeared in the dense forest in the blink of an eye.
The things have been taken away and the purpose has been achieved. Ji Xun has no intention of keeping them any longer.
He was sure that those guys couldn't kill him, so he chose not to transform and break out.
Fortunately, the bet was right.
I was hit by two more knives and an arrow in the back, but I managed to get out smoothly. After running in the dense forest for a while, Ji Xun didn't feel lucky at all when he saw that no one was chasing him.
He has seen the evil tricks of the Bai family before.
Eighty percent of the time, he had already been possessed or locked by some positioning method.
But it doesn’t matter.
Compared to the difficulty of the plot in this space, this threat is not too big.
Ji Xun distanced himself, but did not go far.
The werewolf's sense of smell allows him to easily locate those people through various smells in the air.
The guys got the package, although they also suspected it might be dangerous to open it.
But they don’t have a “magic contract”, so they will definitely open it and take a look.
Ji Xun felt that if he waited, he would definitely find something.
He was waiting on the branch of a tree, using medicine to treat his injuries while observing his surroundings.
But suddenly!
The [Devil Pointer] in Ji Xun's hand started spinning crazily.
"What's going on?"
Ji Xun looked at the pointer in his hand and immediately thought of something.
He has enough experience from the last experience. This situation of the pointer spinning randomly means that there are many and very powerful demons approaching.
“Did those guys open the package?”
Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, not sure whether there was something wrong with the package itself, or whether those people opened the package and attracted the devil.
But he immediately set off to open a farther and safer distance.
Obviously there are experts in perception among Bai Wei's group, who are far better at detecting danger than Ji Xun.
Almost not long after Ji Xun evacuated, he suddenly saw a bunch of fireworks rising into the sky, exploding into a dazzling light in the sky.
This is the assembly fireworks.
After discovering the mission target, each team will assemble at the same time.
After all, hunting the "Red Robe Shaman" is a team task. If it is broken up, everyone will die here.
"Tsk, tsk, it looks like there's quite a lot of trouble. They gathered as soon as they arrived."
Ji Xun was also glad that he got away.
Otherwise, being surrounded by an army of demons, there is no guarantee that anyone will get out of this B-level mission alive.
Before Ji Xun could think about it, the battle suddenly broke out.
In the forest, various gorgeous spell cards exploded, with violent sounds and lights, which were particularly eye-catching in the dark forest.
Moreover, the battle became more and more intense from the beginning, and it didn’t take long before various high-level cards exploded.
[Storm Tornado], [Sun Burning], [Meteor Falling], [Earthquake Technique].
Ji Xun originally watched the battle with the mentality of watching the fun.
But when he noticed that more and more high-level cards were being used in battle, he immediately realized that something was wrong!
Not just spells, but also demonic magic fluctuations.
Fire and rain filled the sky, and landslides and ground cracked.
The shock wave blew strong winds several kilometers away.
“No, with this fighting intensity, there must be at least thousands of demons, right? And there are many high-level demons?”
Ji Xun is very aware of the elite fighting power of the Lion Heart Family.
Not to mention Bai Wei herself, the dozens of people just now, and the countless spell cards they carry, they can definitely easily kill the demon's vanguard army when they encounter it.
Even the "red shaman" in the B-level mission, considering that it was a fourth-level B-level disaster, would not have forced the group of people to be so embarrassed.
But the current situation looks like a large-scale battle.
The news of the battle is everywhere, and both sides are fighting for war at all costs?
But the intelligence said that there were only a small number of demon legions near Ironforge. Where did these monsters come from?
Thinking of this, Ji Xun's expression immediately became subtle.
He confirmed that the package had been opened.
And, it’s really bait!
“Old thing. All the ‘Kingdom Heroes’ are for sale!”
Thinking of this, Ji Xunwei narrowed his eyes and complained.
But precisely because of this confirmation, the scope of various previous conjectures has been narrowed.
His thoughts also started to stir: "But having said that, what on earth is that Wizard Ganrobi doing?"
In a normal war, as long as the military fortress Ironforge is destroyed, The purpose is achieved.
Even if the people in the city escape, the devil camp wants to see them more.
In this way, we can drive straight into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Delan.
But now that they are encircling them at all costs, it is not difficult for Ji Xun to guess that those demons are encircling some important person or information!
The intensity of the interception confirmed that the information may be directly related to the Holy Grail.
And Ji Xun has now speculated that there is a mysterious "big man" in Ironforge.
Then the idea becomes clear instantly.
Dozens of so-called Falcon Legion teams went out of the city for reconnaissance, but they were actually scattered decoys.
This is the tactic of attacking in the east and attacking in the west.
The white-robed magician Gan Luobi wants to escort the "big shot" out of the city!
To the north of Ironforge is the Demon Mountains, to the southeast is the Youfeng Mine, and to the southwest is the only way they must pass to Pangbo City.
Even if we knew that we were attacking in the east and in the west, the direction was too broad.
Ji Xun could not determine the direction of the "main force's escape".
Thinking of this, his mind recalled the military map he had seen in the city lord's mansion before.
After the magic was solved, the ability of photographic memory was strengthened again.
The content must be read carefully before it can be written down.
But now, even if he hasn't looked at it carefully, as long as he glances at it, it will flash in his mind like a photo taken by a camera. Within a certain period of time, he can recall what he saw.
Ji Xun tried his best to think back, and the scene in his mind seemed to suddenly return to the previous scene in the city lord's palace.
He looked at the map on the table and suddenly discovered something: "No. There are traces of fingernail sliding on the map. Oh, those are the tactical route arrangements of the twelve NPC reconnaissance teams! Normally, the first batch "Everyone leaving the city is a bait, so these directions can be ruled out."
Ji Xun's brain was running rapidly, ruling out all the directions that might be baits.
After elimination, he got the coordinates on two maps: [Twin Towers Cliff] and [Echo Falls]!
Just like the scales on a dial, each scale extends to cover a wider range.
These two coordinates are tens of kilometers apart.
But thinking of this, Ji Xun transformed into a werewolf without hesitation and rushed towards Ironforge.
He was still not sure which one, so he could only try his luck.
At least I have an idea, there is a 50% chance that I may encounter it!
The battle in the forest became more and more intense.
After Bai Wei and his group blew up the assembly fireworks, thousands of people in the space rushed towards the assembly place.
The demon vanguard in the forest also moved.
The war spread across the forest.
Not long after, the werewolf transformed by Ji Xun suddenly jumped onto a towering rock, condescendingly observing the fighting situation around the forest.
As he was running, he suddenly realized something else.
With the blessing of the bad luck gambler's aura, he felt that relying on luck, there was a high probability that he would guess wrong.
Moreover, the more I ran, the more I felt that things were not as simple as I thought.
"Hey, judging from the current intelligence, the devil will intercept and kill the 'big man' after he has mastered the key information. So the news about the Holy Grail should have come from the human side. In other words, within the human camp There is a ghost. The intelligence of high-level demons cannot be underestimated, and they may not be able to see through the tactics of attacking in the east and in the west. And the wisdom of the white-robed mages is also extremely high."
Ji Xunke never treats these NPCs as fools.
He feels that what he can think of, others can think of.
Now the competition is about some details.
“That Mage Ganrobi should have guessed that it would not be so easy for them to escape Ironforge. Could this be a cover-up?”
“And this "Battle of Ironforge" It's just that in the early stages of the war, it wasn't so easy for the human camp to get the Holy Grail. Therefore, the 'big man' didn't actually get the Holy Grail, but just got the relevant clues. Could it be that they didn't want to escape, but wanted to take the opportunity to find it. Holy Grail?”
“Hey, those guys won’t go to Youfeng Mine?”
“.”
Ji Xun suddenly figured it out.
From the perspective of an adventurer, he can see more information.
Since the will of space gave the clue to "Youfeng Mine", it must be useful.
Ji Xun immediately came to a conclusion: "[Twin Towers Cliff]! Here you can avoid the interception of the demon army, and you can go directly over the mountain to the mine!"
The more he felt If they break through and run away, this conspiracy will be safer.
Thinking of this, he ran directly towards the coordinates on the map.
