Chapter 298 [The Dreamer's Lead-filled Dice]
Probably because the rebel leader "Blooded Blade" Badis has been killed, and the other minions are no longer relevant.
Or maybe they are afraid of Ji Xun's strength.
Captain Lambert gave up after chasing for a while but failed to catch him.
No one else came after me.
In this way, Ji Xun, Alice and Goron floated in the rapids in the underground river for several hours.
After guessing that they were almost out of the encirclement, they found a water outlet and appeared on the ground again.
On a wild hillside.
Alice, who was all wet, took a few deep breaths and murmured excitedly to herself: "I survived."
She was exhausted from the previous battle, and her lips were slightly pale.
But at this moment, her face showed the excitement and joy of surviving the disaster.
Qidi has prompted that the main plot is completed.
This means that the most dangerous moment has passed.
However, because when the underground river in the mine exploded, a new branch line "The Aftermath of the War" was triggered on Gron, the two did not leave the space immediately.
In a blink of an eye, Alice saw Ji Xun not far away.
There was an uncontrollable joy in her crystal eyes.
Without this incredibly powerful teammate, she knew that she would never have survived this S mission.
Mr. Aragon is right, this one is really powerful.
Alice was also glad that she chose to believe him from the beginning.
In his eyes, Ji Xun has completely restored his previous calm and indifferent expression.
After all, Alice couldn't hold back and asked him about his incredible magical skills. Instead, she asked curiously: "Mr. Ji Xun, why were you so sure that we could survive just now?"
Recalling the past At the last moment of the battle, the guy seemed to have the certainty of controlling his destiny.
That picture is deeply imprinted in my mind.
"There is no certainty."
Ji Xun shook his head with a smile and responded: "I just chose the option that was most likely to survive. Then I was lucky and survived. .”
There is nothing that cannot be said.
"I am the world" deduces the choice that is most likely to survive.
He chose his own judgment.
That’s all.
If you really want to say what he is sure of, it is still the same sentence: there will definitely be a glimmer of hope in the extradimensional space.
After trying his best to kill the fifth-level captain of ten thousand men before, Ji Xun finally confirmed his conjecture: the test of "courage" in this extradimensional space is not to kill the fifth-level captain.
But this method is useless even if others know about it.
Even if you know that extradimensional space has the characteristic of testing "courage".
Courage cannot be faked.
And Ji Xun's "brave" is because he really dared to risk his life in order to test his conjecture.
Moreover, you must not only have courage, but also have the strength corresponding to the difficulty of the plot.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to survive in the face of the difficult plot obstacles set in the extra-dimensional space (Lambert, the Captain of Ten Thousands).
Anyway.
This "Valen City Rebel Camp" tests the adventurer's courage, strength and wisdom.
One cannot exist without the other.
But as the words came out of his mouth, Ji Xun's eyes gradually deepened.
At this moment, he also felt a light and joyful feeling in his soul.
Jia Yu said before that after realizing the profound meaning of "I am the world", one's own emotions will be very stable.
Ji Xun now has a clear understanding.
In the past, after clearing such an exciting S plot, he would have had the ultimate excitement of having an intracranial orgasm after winning the bet.
But now, the body is very calm.
It seems that if a "cause" occurs, there will inevitably be a "result".
The excitement that I should have experienced cannot be experienced anymore.
Just like Alice, she would find the rest of her life extremely thrilling.
As for Ji Xun himself, he only felt that "it is indeed so."
But at this moment, Ji Xun had another, more wonderful experience.
The plot in the extradimensional space is like a small microcosm of life's destiny. The pleasure brought by controlling the plot makes the soul seem to be "sublimated".
"Oh."
Alice listened thoughtfully to Ji Xun's words.
Ji Xun didn’t want to explain much, so he narrowed his eyes and smiled.
In a blink of an eye, his peripheral vision looked at Goron, who was wearing a [Hero's Cloak] beside him.
This key NPC survived the crisis, and the aura between his eyebrows was completely different.
And what surprised Ji Xun was that when he was being chased while floating in the underground river, this guy used a secret method of gravity in a panic.
Ji Xun is extremely sure that it is the mysterious magic technique "inducing the gods to fall".
He was also surprised. This secret method is obviously the exclusive secret method of the "9-Destruction Sequence" natural disaster path. Why can the heroes of the miracle path learn it?
And I just asked Alice.
Ji Xun confirmed that Aragorn, a descendant of Goron, is also proficient in this secret technique.
This allowed his thoughts to be deduced.
He thought about the origin of his secret technique.
In the original "Third Holy Grail War", the hero Galen was not a card master, but a hero, and he knew this secret technique.
So.
What is the connection between the hero sequence and the natural disaster sequence?
Ji Xun and the other two rested for a while, and without much delay, they found a way and rushed back towards Wallen City.
There is another teammate, Allen, who is still in the city, but I don’t know if he survived.
Ji Xun and the others also want to follow Goron to see if they can dig deeper into the plot related to the slave collar key.
However, Wallen City was blocked by the military due to the war, and all outsiders were prohibited from entering.
It wasn't until the next day that the three of them got mixed up with reporters from various newspapers and entered the city.
The good news is, Alan is still alive.
Similar to the plan discussed before, he rescued Miss Manyia, the daughter of the Warren City grain storage officer, and only then survived the military roundup in the city.
Also completed his A-level main quest.
And the battle ended more neatly than expected.
Because the military ambush plan was detonated by Ji Xun in advance, the rebel army chose to break out, so there was no fierce siege and street fighting according to the original plot.
Although the rebels fled a lot, the military's actions also achieved the expected results.
Soon, the accurate news in the newspaper also came out.
The famous general Marcus led the 400,000 city-state coalition troops to encircle and suppress the city with great success.
Almost all the rebel leader Badis and other key members were beheaded.
Large casualties are to be expected.
However, Ji Xun was more concerned about another piece of news.
Newspapers reported that the number of rebels who came to Warren City to rob was nearly one million, but the actual number of combatants was less than 20%, and many of them were refugees and slaves who could not survive.
So much so that the military did not receive too much resistance during the roundup.
Then they captured nearly 300,000 "rebels" alive.
This is what Ji Xun cares about.
The famous general Marcus Rao knew that most of the 300,000 rebels who were captured alive were low-level civilians, so he ordered them all to be killed.
From the perspective of ordinary people, they will feel that the rebels deserved their death.
Even some kind-hearted people will only think that Marcus is too murderous.
However, Ji Xun deduced something else from these fate lines.
He has now completely seen through, there are too many traces of human manipulation behind this uprising war.
This entrapment and killing may involve political games, or it may be the pursuit of greater military success.
But it may also involve extraordinary paths!
Before entering the space, Toad asked him to observe the laws of war.
Ji Xun was able to observe, and then he noticed that war was also one of the laws of the universe.
He previously thought that war was a political product.
But now it seems that it is not that simple.
The whole war was like a prepared ceremony.
Ji Xun is still unable to understand the purpose of this "ritual"-like existence.
But he thought of something else.
Ji Xun thought about the new king of Oran who deliberately created terror to understand his own law of fear.
Isn’t it also a ritual-like process?
Then, could war be deliberately created by some people as a way to gain insights into high-level laws?
He remembered the "Third Holy Grail War" mentioned when he was chatting with Jia Yu in Hong Lou.
At that time, Mushroom Head used his ability to deduce that the war between humans and demons caused by the fight for the Holy Grail was like a sacrificial ceremony required by the gods.
Only pain can make people believe in gods.
In reality, the Silver Moon Sect that Ji Xun came into contact with liked to sacrifice humans in order to gain the ability to communicate with the gods.
Probably the same reason.
And now seeing the famous general Marcus "trap and kill 300,000 rebels", Ji Xun confirmed that suspicion.
This was not just a massacre.
This is more like a bloody sacrifice arranged through war.
Some people who create wars can sense some high-level extraordinary power in this bloody ritual.
As for what it is.
Ji Xun doesn’t know either.
But he realized that the toad was right and he needed to understand it himself.
This is a law of the universe.
When he understood it, he really touched that level.
Ji Xun and the other three were delayed for most of the day in Wallen City to ensure the safety of "Gron", the future hero, and the side mission was also completed.
Unfortunately, the main plot has ended this time.
Space Will did not give them any more time to stay.
The three of them failed to go to the Rune Highlands to find the legendary Master Gamil.
However, Ji Xun has already explored the relevant plot to the extreme within his ability.
Theoretically,
there are already relevant props in the settlement card pool.
The rest is up to luck.
In a room in Wallen City, Ji Xun and three others were preparing to leave.
The plot ends and the settlement enlightenment also appears.
"Congratulations on clearing 'Warren City Rebel Camp'"
"The space exploration degree is 87%, the fixed reward is 90%; the additional exploration is 44%, and the A-level evaluation is obtained. Rare card drawing + 30%" "Incomparable Wisdom and Bravery: Advanced Card Drawing Probability +7%"
"Hidden Plot Explorer: Advanced card drawing probability +9%"
"Born to Death: Extra rare card drawing probability +5%"
" Teammates with tacit understanding: rare card drawing reward +4%"
"Insighter: special card probability +3%"
"Rare Survivor: Rare Card Drawing Reward +1%"
"Complete S special plot 'Breakout'*1; A+ hidden plot 'Heroic Decision'*1; A-level plot 'Survivor of Encirclement' *1; B-level plot missions 'The traitor in Wallen City', 'Breakdown of the Archon's Mansion', 'War Aftermath', C-level missions 'Breaking the City', 'Granary Intelligence'; D-level missions 'Kill Knight Captain Jim'* The rare probability of 1 treasure box is +26%, and the total reward is +30%"
"Comprehensive evaluation is S, and you will get 4 treasure chests for clearance and settlement"
It is almost as expected by Ji Xun.
Having experienced so many different-dimensional spaces, those behaviors can increase the probability of drawing cards, and the door is basically clear.
Few adventurers survive, the plot is highly explored and difficult, and challenging difficult BOSS
will basically increase the probability of drawing cards.
The following is the basic card drawing probability: "3% black iron, 50% silver, 41% gold, 7% dark gold, special 1%"
The fourth-order extradimensional space can pass The main mission is basically a guaranteed silver card.
Ji Xun looked at the four settlement treasure boxes that appeared in front of him and clicked on them directly.
"Open the customs clearance treasure chest and get the special item 'A Mysterious Note'"
"Open the customs clearance treasure chest and get the dark gold card 'Summon Card·Lava Giant'"
"Open the customs clearance treasure chest. Obtain the golden mechanical blueprint 'Giant IV Generation Magic Energy Heavy Armor Mechanical Baffle Design'"
"Open the treasure chest and obtain the special item 'Dreamer's lead-filled dice'"
Ji Xun Looking at the contents drawn from the first four treasure boxes, his eyes gleamed slightly.
Something a little unexpected.
[Summon Card·Lava Giant]
Detailed explanation: The fifth-level elemental summoning card, after pouring the magic power, summons two lava giants with super high defense and magic attack to assist attacks;< br>
This is the spell used by the fifth-level captain.
The lava giant condensed with the elements of earth and fire has strong combat power.
Although it is of little use to Ji Xun, it is also of high value.
As for the mechanical drawings, I have encountered military armor on the battlefield before.
It is normal for these two things to be taken out.
However, when Ji Xun looked at the manuscript that looked like a piece of scratch paper, he felt strange in his heart: "Treasure map? Or what?"
[A mysterious note]
Detailed explanation: A sketch drawn by Master Gamil points to a certain coordinate in the Rune Highlands;
The special card drawn with a one percent probability will never be wrong.
The most important thing is that it has the name of "Master Gamil" on it.
This is the only name that appears in this plot.
But that doesn't stop Ji Xun from knowing that he must be a big figure in history.
According to the characteristics of the extradimensional space, such legendary figures are usually involved in some important historical plots.
"Run Highlands" is a place name of the Talon Dynasty.
The original site can also be found in the Old World.
Ji Xun thought, he would probably know when he goes to see it.
The fourth item is a bit interesting.
The super high probability of drawing cards obtained by the super high evaluation also resulted in two special items being drawn.
It was also the first time Ji Xun saw it.
[Dreamer’s lead-filled dice]
Detailed explanation: disposable items, cheating gambling equipment that dreams come true, a relic that involves a trace of the law of fate; imagine what you want in your mind, throw Dice, the higher the points, the higher the grade of the item you will get (the probability of wishing for related plot items that you have come into contact with in the extra-dimensional space will be higher); on the contrary, you may get nothing;
I don’t want to wait to understand this. What's the use of three dice?
On the sidelines, Alan lamented with a pale face: "It's over. I rated A-, but I didn't get the collar key after three opportunities."
In a blink of an eye, he asked Alice on the side: "Sister Alice, where are you?"
"."
Alice also looked gloomy as she listened.
Silence replaced her answer.
Originally, the main plot of this extra-dimensional space had very little connection with the slave collar key.
It’s only normal if you didn’t draw.
However, if they cannot draw, they will still be controlled by the collar after they go out, and sooner or later they will be caught by the Hydralisk Legion.
Thinking of this, both Alice's expressions were ugly.
Oh, that’s right.
She was a war slave who was destined to die. From the first moment she entered the space, she had the consciousness to try her luck.
Now that the chance of survival has not been gained, it is time to accept our fate.
I have tried my best.
However, Alice thought of something and looked at Ji Xun out of the corner of her eye.
She knows that this teammate's evaluation is definitely higher than hers, and the probability is definitely higher than hers.
The calm heart suddenly became anxious again.
Ji Xun looked at those two pairs of expectant eyes and knew what they wanted to ask. He shook his head: "I didn't get it either."
Hearing this, Alice's eyes dimmed instantly. Go down.
However, before she could despair, Ji Xun took out the three dice he had just received and said, "But, I got this thing."
Alice took a look, I thought it was not a collar key, so it would be meaningless to draw anything.
However, looking at the introduction of the dice, hope immediately burned in her heart: "This"
Ellen was straightforward and said excitedly: "With this [dice], can't we be able to make a wish key!"
“.”
Alice was also happy, but then her eyes held back a look of sadness.
She used her peripheral vision to signal Allen not to continue speaking.
Although I see hope.
But she also saw the value of the dice.
If you use this dice to make a wish for the key, whether it comes true or not, it means that Ji Xun is giving up a treasure.
For example, he could have wished for special cards such as [Space Teleportation Card] and [Scarecrow], which are extremely difficult to produce in extra-dimensional spaces.
Once drawn, it is something that can truly save your life.
It's more valuable than a key that has nothing to do with him.
Alice is not selfish in thinking that for the key, she can make others pay such a high price for nothing.
But she never imagined that for Ji Xun, many things were more important than life-saving equipment.
Of course Ji Xun thought about using dice to draw something he needed.
But since you promised toad, of course you have to do it.
As for the [Space Teleportation Card], those cards are the best for him. If you don’t have them, don’t force them.
For him, with a way out, taking risks is meaningless.
Looking at Alice's troubled expression, Ji Xun also thought that this teammate was pretty good and smiled slightly.
Looking at that smile, Alice was also startled.
Before she could sort out the complicated thoughts in her mind, she watched Ji Xun take out a gray cloth cloak and put it on her body.
oh.
The cloak is of course the [Hero’s Cloak].
When Goron said this to Ji Xun, it became a reward item that could be taken out of the space.
This relic was most likely damaged or disappeared over the long years before it could be taken out of space.
No one can say what effect it will have if you add something to your luck.
It just so happens that dice are also relics of fate.
BUFF stacking is better than nothing.
Ji Xun put on his cloak and looked relaxed, as if he threw three dice casually.
Alice and Allen on the side were extremely nervous.
Looking closely at the dice.
Ji Xun recalled in his mind all the clues in the extradimensional space that might be related to the "slave collar key", and then made a wish.
Three dice were spinning in the void, and in a blink of an eye, a "dot" appeared.
At this point, looking at Alice and Allen, they both clicked.
The points cannot be smaller.
However, Ji Xun was very calm.
Because at this moment, he seemed to see fate teasing him in his eyes.
Seeing this, he had already deduced the ending.
There are only two possibilities: either extremely bad or excellent.
Then he looked at the other two dice and stopped. The second one was also "one point".
Alice's breathing almost stagnated due to nervousness.
However.
At this moment when time seemed to pause, the third one stopped spinning.
Also a big "point"!
Leopard!
I don’t know whether it was Ji Xun’s good luck or the luck blessed by the cloak that made such a big score.
The dice transform into rewards.
A card with a simple key pattern appeared in front of him.
Alan was already dancing excitedly, speaking incoherently: "This and this."
Now that Alice looked at the card, her mouth opened slightly, unable to hide her surprise: I got it! He. He really helped!
【Gamil's Master Key】
Detailed explanation: The spell card made by the legendary craftsman Gamil, it can break almost all spell locks;
“I really got it”
Ji Xun looked at the key and sighed. While he was feeling lucky, a deep thought also appeared in his eyes.
He chose to make a wish and draw the key.
It’s not just because of the agreement with Toad.
He also saw a series of destiny lines extending out from the key.
From the current perspective, the power of the Airel Empire is unimaginable.
The Eastern Continent Card Master Federation has no ability to resist at all.
People like the Airel Empire now need a lot of cannon fodder to explore the old continent, so even if they are caught alive, they will most likely not be killed, but will be used as war slaves to open up wasteland.
The slave collar is the most important means of slavery.
Ji Xun always had a hunch that this [Master Key] would be of great use in the future.
Maybe he can use it himself.
Asking for a guaranteed monthly pass~
