Chapter 396 Mechanical City·Dragon Hunter
The inheritance of Griffith, the leader of the Dragon Rebel Army, comes from the lineage of royal painters of Talon Palace three thousand years ago.
So her every move and every move reveals the elegance of a palace official and the clean temperament of an artist.
Coupled with her peerless appearance and graceful figure, she is so perfect that it is difficult for anyone to mind her identity as a witch.
But Ji Xun didn’t care at all.
He can accept his own inner distortions, and of course he can also accept the specialness of others.
But he suddenly understood why the magic mirror said "Lan Lingster, who transformed into a witch, is the most beautiful woman in the world."
Seeing Griffith in front of me seems to be able to confirm some of this.
The two of them were chatting on the deck.
The void dragon ship was drifting towards the depths of the rift, surrounded by fog, and nothing could be seen.
But Ji Xun has a strong curiosity to touch the mystery.
This is his first time roaming in the rift of the world.
In front of me is a card master who stands at the top of the extraordinary realm of mankind. There is probably no one who can explain her doubts better than her.
Ji Xun was curious, so he asked directly: "Senior, what is under the crack in the abyss?"
Griffith looked at the fog in the crack, and what was coming from nowhere? The rain came pouring down, and he shook his head and said: "No one knows."
After pondering for a moment, she continued: "Even in the Talon Dynasty, no one figured it out. Countless adventurers paid the price with their lives to explore the rift. But no one has reached the end of the rift. Some people say it is the end of the world. , some people say that it is a passage to an alien plane. However, no one can be sure, because no one who goes too deep into the rift can come back alive. It is said that Emperor Lanlingst once soared in the rift to explore the truth of the world. But there is no record in the palace books about what the emperor saw."
"."
Ji Xun did not find this strange when he heard this.
The tomb keeper in Rune Highlands who lived for thousands of years told this palace secret.
Remembering that Emperor Lanlingst disappeared in the Southern Continent, he asked directly: "Senior, is there anything special about the Southern Continent? I mean, it is different from the Old Continent or the Eastern Wasteland. What's the difference?"
"Special?"
Griffith pondered for a moment.
After all, the Dragon Rebel Army has been in the Southern Continent for many years, so of course they know.
She said directly: "The elements of the Southern Continent are richer, the laws are more perfect, and the upper limit is higher. This is very important for the card master's practice. If we really want to make an accurate comparison, the Eastern Wasteland is like a desert It is equally barren, with only a few drought-tolerant vegetation growing; the Old Continent is like an oasis, with a certain complete ecology; while the Southern Continent is more like a lush forest, giving birth to countless creatures. In fact, before the middle period of Talon, Middle-earth and the Southern Continent It is also the most fertile place in the nearby continents; later, for some reason, the spiritual energy gradually declined. This was also one of the reasons for the decline of the Talon Empire."
The leader of the Dragon Rebel Army looked at it. Ji Xun's expression was full of interest, with a faint smile on his face, and he added: "The Southern Continent is ancient and mysterious. Even now, human footprints in the Southern Continent are very limited. I once traveled to the depths of the Southern Continent, but encountered Many powerful ancient creatures gave up after being injured several times and defeated.”
Hearing this, Ji Xun showed a surprised look: "Is there a monster in the southern continent that can hurt you?"
Although I heard that Emperor Lanlingst went to explore it, legends remain legends.
He heard with his own ears that some ninth-level experts had failed to explore that continent, which made him full of curiosity about the powerful creatures on that continent.
"Yes."
Griffith's eyes were as clear as water, and he said: "And there are quite a few. Although my strength is still at the top among card masters, but in It is as ordinary as dust and gravel in the endless river of time."
As she said that, she glanced at the depths of the endless cracks, and then said: "The legend of the Southern Continent is the place where card masters originated. There are many unknown and mysterious existences there. There are even some mythical creatures that have lived for hundreds of thousands of years. I have known them before. I have encountered the [Stone Titan] as huge as a mountain range, and the mythical and legendary [Behemoth]."
As she spoke, she smiled and said: "Do you want to ask why the Southern Continent So special? I don’t know. If my ability didn’t allow it, I would definitely explore the secrets deep in the southern continent and find the truth about the world.”
“.”
Ji Listen quietly and learn a lot.
The two of them were chatting like this.
Suddenly Griffith seemed to have thought of something and asked: "By the way, Ji Xun, you have helped our organization so much this time. Is there anything I can do to help you? As long as I can help Yes, you can speak up.”
Aragorn had said before that the leader of their organization would be grateful for participating in this ship seizure.
Ji Xun's brows moved slightly as he smiled and said, "Senior, you are too polite."
Out of courtesy, I still have to be polite.
There was a faint smile at the corner of Griffith's mouth, and an encouraging smile in his crystal eyes, as if to say: Just say it.
Ji Xun was not too polite and said bluntly: "I want seniors to give guidance on the practice of the field."
With Gong Wu's guidance before, he was able to advance smoothly to the present.
Now he has a very deep understanding of how important it is to have a senior guide on the path to transcendence.
This is even more valuable than any rare relics or skill secrets!
Griffith was not surprised that Ji Xun would ask this question. Instead, he was very pleased and said: "I heard Aragorn tell you about your situation before. At that time, I felt that your studies were too complicated. Maybe Promotion will be difficult. But now it seems that you have your own path. If I guessed correctly, your career sequence should be outside the fifty-two demon gods sequence, or a lost card master sequence before the era of chaos. Some special demonic inheritance."
The other party didn't mean to go into detail, and Ji Xun didn't elaborate on [JOKER] either, he just nodded.
Griffith continued: "You have mastered so many sequences of magical mysteries, and I think you also have your own views on the idea of 'field'."
Ji Xundao: "Yeah. . My idea is 'all things field'."
If it is a single field, it is not difficult for him.
For example, the single offensive area pointed to by the magical power [Natural Disaster·Earth Crying], once constructed, the lethality will increase dramatically.
But after observing the Great Emperor's Stone Tablet before, Ji Xun confirmed that his idea was completely feasible because Emperor Lanlingst had once walked through it.
After listening to Ji Xun's statement, Griffith also praised: "Your field is the most bizarre idea I have ever heard."
As she said that, she continued: "But regarding the understanding of the 'field', everyone's understanding of the law is different, and the field is different. No one can get a 100% consistent understanding from the experience of others. What's more, the 'all things field' you want to understand is very Very special."
The tone was neither urgent nor slow. The leader of the Dragon Rebel Army was like an excellent teacher, explaining his point of view slowly.
She always felt that words could not express it accurately, and said: "Well, you first have a look at the world in my field."
The phantom of the clown appeared behind Ji Xun and said: "Senior, please give me some advice."
Griffith glanced at the phantom of the clown and the devil, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and then took out the quill. , and muttered softly: "Sanctuary·Beautiful World."
Probably to let Ji Xun see more clearly, the speed of the realm is not very fast.
As soon as the seal fell, Ji Xun looked at everything around him as if it had been blessed with an "oil painting filter", and the entire sensory world turned into a colorful oil painting.
“Huh?”
Ji Xun is not unfamiliar with this feeling. He was trapped in such a twisted world in the "Monet's Sunrise" oil painting.
This is a comprehensive field of space limitation and law control.
While releasing the Holy Domain, Griffith explained in detail: "My domain is shaped based on the "Utopia Universe". Here, I can imagine everything I can think of. Like this. ”
As she spoke, she picked up the brush in her hand and drew a circle in the void.
A magical scene appeared, and a huge fireball suddenly hung in the sky. .
The light shone on the ship, instantly becoming scorching hot.
Ji Xun knew that she wanted him to understand more accurately.
“It’s not just changing the environment. There’s this. Or this.”
Griffith’s quill jumped and danced in the void, outlining an impromptu graffiti monster.
In an instant, the thing in the painting fluttered its wings and transformed into a fire dragon soaring into the sky filled with angry flames.
Then, she changed her strokes.
In a continuous mountain range, a terrifying monster that looked like a hippo, with a mouth full of fangs, human ears and a lion's tail jumped up from the mountain and pounced on the huge fire dragon.
Two giant beasts fought in the mountains, and the earth shook.
You can move the brush again in the next second,
The mountains actually moved too!
A huge arm protruded from the mountains. It looked unpleasant, but it accurately grabbed the two monsters in its hand.
The giant hand seemed to be holding two mice and stuffed them into its mouth in one bite.
Ji Xun then saw clearly that the entire mountain range was a sleeping ancient giant.
Only then did he realize that these were the mythical creatures deep in the southern continent mentioned by Griffith before, [Behemoth] and [Stone Titan]!
It was clearly a painting in front of me, but the pressure belonging to the mythical creature felt like reality.
Not to mention the two mythical creatures that he had never seen before, the power of the dragon exuded from the giant dragon was also terrifying that Ji Xun had never seen before.
The pressure coming from his blood was so shocking that Ji Xun seemed to have forgotten the passage of time.
It seems that the scene just now was not an illusion, but a fierce battle between top giant beasts that I witnessed with my own eyes.
Just hearing a chuckle, Ji Xun's sleepwalking mind seemed to be awakened, and then he came back to his senses.
Seeing that Ji Xun had reached the limit of endurance, Griffith put away the quill in his hand and praised: "You are stronger than I expected. At the level just now, even the seventh level is not necessarily certain." I can bear it."
With his pupils focused, Ji Xun's forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat.
As soon as he finished speaking, the colorful world around him quickly faded away and returned to its original appearance.
My thoughts were still agitated and did not subside, and the gentle explanation came to my ears again: "Those are the mythical creatures I once saw in the hinterland of the Southern Continent. I painted them."< br>
“call”
Ji Xun was stunned as he listened, and slowly exhaled a breath to calm down the shock in his heart.
He has never seen such a terrifying monster.
Immediately, I fell into deep thinking again.
Griffith looked at Ji Xunruo's expression, and his surprise disappeared.
She could see that the other party really understood, so she continued: "This is my field - the colorful world. In this field, I am both the creator and the rule maker. So, I can paint anything I want. The deeper my understanding of the laws of the universe, the more colorful it becomes. From a certain perspective, it can be regarded as depicting the "everything in the universe" with a brush. However, the "color" of the world in everyone's eyes is different. What you see is different, and what you draw is different. The world you see must be different from mine. I am just giving you some reference. I don’t want you to be able to follow my path, nor is it suitable.” br>
"Yes."
Ji Xun nodded as he listened, and did not forget to add: "Thank you, senior, for your guidance."
I have to say that the domain of the leader of the Dragon Rebel Army is really impressive. He was greatly inspired.
It can be said that if you only look at the appearance, this is his ideal "all-encompassing realm".
All-inclusive, infinite possibilities.
Griffith's beautiful face always had a smile like a spring breeze, and he said: "Your 'Field of Everything' is very special, and I don't have much advice to give. Since you know the art of 'I am the world' If you know the secret method, you will have the ability to construct the logical skeleton of a complete world, and the "utopian universe" can draw the skin of your fantasy world. Just knowing these two secret methods, you have already mastered a huge advantage that many people cannot have. . ”
“.”
Ji Xunshen thought so.
After seeing the field of such a top powerhouse, he indeed had an idea.
But just like a tree sprouting, it will eventually flourish and require a lot of nutrients
Griffith obviously saw this, and she put forward her own suggestions, saying: "If you want to improve your field, you need enough knowledge and understanding of the laws. Look at other people's fields, and look at Fifty-Two Other sequences in the path will be helpful to you.”
“Yes.”
Of course Ji Xun can figure it out. Therefore, since he advanced to the sixth level, he has been looking forward to fighting against masters who have understood different fields.
But I always feel that there is still a long way to go.
How could he meet so many strong men and still be lucky enough to escape death every time?
At this time, Griffith suddenly smiled.
As if thinking of something, she took out a card with a noble inscription.
Ji Xun cast a curious look, thinking it was some special treasure.
When I looked at it, I saw that there was a picture of a dragon crown and a castle on the card.
If you read correctly, isn’t this the symbol of the Airel Empire?
Before he was confused, Griffith explained: "This is the library card of the Royal Academy of Airel. If you really want to say where else in this world can meet your needs, I I think this is the only place. It is much easier for a dragon-born card master to advance to the seventh level than for humans. There are countless high-level classics in the Royal Academy, which contain a lot of practice experience."
"This"
When Ji Xun heard this, his pupils shrank slightly.
He actually had such an idea before. Instead of accumulating bit by bit on your own, it is better to look for the experience of some seniors.
The more centralized a country is, the more knowledge is concentrated at the top. The Ariel Royal Academy has a large collection of high-level classics and the cultivation experiences left by countless masters over thousands of years.
Ji Xun deduced this plan from the trophies of the academy trial group that he had obtained in the Rune Highlands.
It’s just that he hasn’t figured out how to get those precious high-level classics.
Whether it is stealing or robbing, the risk is extremely high.
Now that I see this library card, another smooth road beckons to me.
As he spoke, Griffith did not forget to add the origin of the library card, saying: "Many years ago, I was an art and painting teacher at Irel College. So the authority of this library card is very high. Be careful. It shouldn’t be discovered at all.”
When Ji Xun heard this, his thoughts suddenly became active.
In other words, with this "teacher's library card", I can easily access the collection of the Royal Academy?
A few days later.
The Void Dragon Boat picked up Aragorn and his revolutionary army who were still trapped in the Eastern Wasteland, and then stopped on the rock wall of the abyss fissure near the old continent.
It will take a long time for the Dragon Rebel Army to get this ship to the hinterland of the Old Continent.
And the risk is high, so Ji Xun has no intention of following them.
"Ivan, you must be obedient and don't be naughty when you follow Mr. Ji Xun. You have had enough fun, remember to come back early."
"I know. Mother!"
"."
In the dark cave, the little loli lying on top of Ji Xun happily waved to Griffith.
It was obviously a farewell, but the atmosphere was not sad at all.
Originally, sending Ivan to the Eastern Wasteland for refuge was just a temporary measure.
But this little loli was eating and drinking all the time with Ji Xun, living a comfortable life, and suddenly she didn’t want to leave.
Ji Xun didn't feel bad. He was already used to his identity as a nanny.
What's more, Ivan's ability is also very special, and staying with him will be of great benefit to him in understanding the laws of space.
With the means arranged by Griffith, no one from the Southern Continent will come to our door in a short period of time.
Not a big problem.
After saying goodbye, Ji Xun jumped off the deck and signaled: "Everyone, take care!"
Across the way, Griffith and Aragorn, and a group of dragon rebels behind them The cadres also waved their hands.
With that said, Ji Xun turned around and rushed into the cave.
A few days passed by like this.
Ji Xun continued walking through the ruins.
The Dragon Rebel Army discovered the lost imperial capital of Behemoth, and he was also very interested.
However, it will still take some time for the ruins to be revealed.
Before that, Ji Xun was going to visit the Alliance stronghold to find Catalina, catch up on old times, and tell her the news.
The development of large-scale ruins cannot be completed by just a few experts.
A large number of hunters are also needed.
The largest force in the Old Continent now, besides the people from the Southern Continent, is the Alliance Army.
We also need such opportunities over there.
This day, the Old Continent, Black Wind Falls.
Ji Xun had seen some maps of the Old World before and was impressed by this place name.
There are no ruins around here. Even in the Talon period three thousand years ago, it was just a wilderness.
"The Alliance base is really getting more and more remote."
Ji Xun sat cross-legged on a big rock, looking at the luminous forest in the valley in the distance, and heard something in the distance. The sound of rushing water from the waterfall.
This is the location agreed upon with Catalina before.
When he heard that he was coming, the old friend was also very surprised and said that he happened to have something to say.
Katrina is punctual as always.
Ji Xun waited at the agreed place for a few minutes, when a heroic blond woman wearing a white military uniform walked out in the darkness.
Of course Ji Xun had noticed the visitor a long time ago. He looked at this old friend and his eyes lit up slightly.
It has to be said that after several months of not seeing each other, Catalina's appearance has not changed much. She is still glamorous and beautiful, but her aura of a superior person has become more and more prominent.
This gave her a somewhat cold and arrogant sense of "keep away from strangers".
But looking at Ji Xun, Catalina's cold arrogance disappeared in an instant, and joy immediately appeared on her pretty face. She smiled and said proactively: "Ji Xun, long time no see."
< br>Ji Xun also smiled brightly: "Miss Carter, long time no see."
As he said that, he added: "You are very beautiful today."
This is a common polite greeting.
But the two were already very familiar with each other. Instead of saying thank you, Catalina asked in a joking tone: "Oh, so weren't you beautiful before?"
Ji Xun shook his head with a smile.
“Thank you~”
Katrina raised her eyebrows before responding to the previous topic.
As if she was very happy to be praised by an old friend, she explained: "Because you are coming, so I put on some light makeup."
Ji Xun glanced at her and smiled: "It's an honor."
As he spoke, he glanced around with his peripheral vision. It was obvious that he sensed that the guards were more numerous and tighter than before.
Katrina is also smart as ice and snow. She keenly caught his peripheral vision and explained: "The situation is a bit special recently. Let's go and talk as we go."
Ji Xun: " Hmm.”
Catalina led Ji Xun towards the deep mountains and soon got into the ground.
During a simple chat, Ji Xun also learned that the Alliance Army was developing well in the Old Continent during this period.
The focus of the people in the Southern Continent is in the Eastern Wasteland. The guerrillas like the Alliance Army have not yet established a stable political power, and the senior officials of the Airel Empire are not interested.
This also gave the Alliance Army a rare opportunity to develop.
They accumulated food, dug deep into dungeons, and explored ruins
In just a few months, the scale has been very impressive.
If they were not forced to do so, they would have no intention of fighting head-on with the people on South Road.
“I have a surprise for you!”
Katrina led Ji Xun all the way deeper into the cave.
Ji Xun originally thought that this was the same temporary base as before.
But gradually, he realized something was wrong.
This is a ruin!
And it is still very well preserved.
The strange thing is here. Three thousand years ago, there were no cities nearby. What ruins would be built here?
Just when Ji Xun was curious, after passing through several heavily defended gates, he suddenly heard the roar of a steam boiler.
When they reached the last door, which was guarded by a pair of elite mechanical warriors, even Catalina was subjected to strict identity verification.
She did not forget to explain to Ji Xun: "This is the biggest secret of the Allied Forces at present. Anyone entering or leaving the base must verify their identity multiple times."
Ji Xun listened more and more. Curious, what is here.
After the identity verification, the iron door that was obviously made of ancient black technology slowly opened, and a huge underground space came into view.
Encounter a world of steel and machinery!
It's like entering the interior of a huge steel monster. The towering steam towers stand like giants, the intricate pipeline network is like the veins of the city, and all you can see are thick rivets spliced together with heavy industrial style images.
What echoed in my ears was the hiss of steam release, the roar of giant gears, and the low hum of mechanical operation.
This is no ordinary base, but a city built of precision gears and cold hard steel!
As far as the eye can see, huge mechanical structures are interlocked with each other and closely connected. Huge anchoring devices fix the staggered stacked platforms, and various robotic arms on the platforms are busy operating
Compared with these huge mechanical equipment, the countless people busy on the equipment platforms are so small. Like ants, people feel a deep sense of oppression surrounded by "giant things".
Ji Xun couldn't help but asked in surprise: "This is a mobile mechanical city?"
"Yes! This is an unfinished war fortress built during the Talon period. We named it 'Hunter Dragon' . "
Catalina also sounded quite proud: "Probably because it was not completed and was not involved in the war, its main structure was well preserved when we found it here. It’s basically done. With this mechanical city, we have a certain chance of winning even if we face dozens of enemies. Moreover, it is very maneuverable and can travel through rock formations very safely.”
"."
Ji Xun himself is familiar with mechanical technology, but he has never seen a mobile mechanical city of this scale.
He looked at it with a trace of thought in his eyes.
The things built by Talon in the late period were all aimed at solving the outer gods and war.
So, the purpose of this mechanical city is definitely not simple.
Katrina also greeted enthusiastically: "Let's go, I'll take you for a walk. There are many interesting black technologies in this machine city."
The Alliance Army experienced in the Old Continent It was a dangerous situation, but now we finally see some hope.
