Chapter 419: Old Man Xu was arrested again
The Holy Vatican ambushed Griffith, the leader of the Dragon Rebel Army, because they knew she had hidden wounds that could not be healed.
I don’t expect to be able to kill her. As long as she continues to aggravate her injuries, she will die suddenly sooner or later.
This eliminates a huge hidden danger.
Of course, the premise is that if you don’t meet Chujiu.
But at this moment, some gears of fate seemed to be turning.
Because of a book of canonization, [Sismark Holy Grail] accidentally accumulated new holy water
Now that Griffith's injury has been healed by the Holy Grail, I really wait for her to touch it again next time If you see the enemy, you will probably give them a "big surprise".
Ji Xun has always been looking forward to doing things.
He could already think of some pictures in his mind.
But he still couldn't imagine the battle at the ninth level.
Because of this, I am looking forward to it even more.
Griffith continued: "I came to the ruins this time because I needed some opportunities to see if there was a chance to go further. I was injured before and didn't dare to go too deep, but now I can go and see it. See it.”
Hearing this, the three people in the audience all cast curious glances.
Ji Xungeng's eyes widened and he asked curiously: "Ms. Griffith, are you going to advance to the divine level?"
The ninth level is a step further, isn't it the legendary god level?
Hiss.
How do you feel that this is the closest to a "myth"?
However, after hearing Ji Xun's hopeful words, Griffith laughed at himself: "How can it be so easy?"
She knew that no matter what level of card master, it would be right for him. I am very interested in the legendary divine realm.
The same was true for my past self.
Full of yearning for high-level mysterious realms.
But when you have truly reached the peak level of a card master who is the most advanced realm in the legend, you realize that the so-called "god realm" is far away.
As she spoke, she frowned and seemed to find this problem difficult to explain.
But because it was Ji Xun and the other three, Griffith patiently explained: "It can be said that without a big chance, in another hundred years, I may even be involved in the mystery of my current rank. As far as I know, that threshold is higher than any other threshold for the extraordinary path. It’s so high that I don’t even know which direction to practice.”
As soon as she said this, Ji Xun also heard the helplessness and confusion in her tone.
It feels like climbing a mountain.
When I was at the foot of the mountain, I thought that reaching the top would be the closest to the sky.
However, after actually reaching the top, we discovered that the stars were far away in the depths of the universe.
Chujiu and Nanjing on the side came from the imperial mausoleum after all. They had seen the inheritance of the Augustus royal family, but they seemed to understand something.
Griffith also deliberately guided the three of them, and continued without hesitation: "I just recently gained some insights on the [art] path. According to some fragments of words left by my ancestors, see if I can condense my own." Big Rune'."
When Ji Xun heard this, his eyes were slightly different: "Big Rune?"
"Hmm"
Griffith nodded. He thought they didn't know what it meant, and explained: "A rune that embodies the understanding of one's own laws. It is said to be a necessary condition for condensing the godhead."
Of course Ji Xun knows "Big Rune" ".
But it was only when I went to the Imperial Tomb before and saw the [Emperor Stone Tablet] that I understood the concept.
Chu Jiu on the side was obviously in the same place as Ji Xun.
Waiting for Griffith to finish speaking, she rarely interrupted: "Actually, if Leader Griffith needs some reference, he can go to Rune Highlands to observe the [Emperor's Stone Tablet]."< br>
Griffith obviously did not know the existence of this treasure, so he asked: "The Great Emperor's Stone Stele?"
Chu Jiu said: "Hmm. A piece left by Emperor Lanlingster to record the great Rune’s Stone Tablet”
"This"
Hearing this, Griffith's crystal eyes visibly trembled.
Just hearing this description, she immediately realized the purpose of the [Emperor Stone Tablet]!
If it were the big rune gathered by others, she still felt that it was not in line with her career sequence.
But Emperor Lanlingst is the legendary and powerful man of high divine rank who is proficient in "art"!
There could be no better reference for her current state than this.
"Have you found a 'great opportunity'?"
Just like getting the Holy Grail water to heal his injuries before, this gave Griffith a magical feeling as if he had an inexplicable chance to hit his head.
Is fate really so magical?
Griffith still remembers the prophecy that the "Blind Prophet" divined for himself: When you meet a benefactor who can save your life, the beacon pointing to destiny will light up.
Could it be that "Lighthouse" refers to Princess Augustus?
I struggled to understand it before, but now I seem to understand it.
Griffith thought of something, and a charming smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
She did not reject Chujiu's proposal, but readily agreed: "Yes."
Griffith's injury suddenly healed, and Aragorn and several rebels The Long Army cadres were also greatly surprised.
When they knew it was because of the ninth day of the lunar month, everyone had more respect for Princess Augustus.
And with this top player in full strength, the situation suddenly opened up.
Originally, they had to beware of the siege by the Holy Holy See, and also the plot by the Oran Royal Court.
But now, the initiative has been reversed.
Griffith in her prime can solve most problems with her powerful force.
After some discussion, everyone decided to take the initiative.
Now that it has been discovered, there is no need for bait or anything.
Ji Xun and his group plan to go directly to the fragmented area of the ruins of the imperial capital Behemoth that they discovered.
Ji Xun is also very interested in the extradimensional space related to "The Last Battle of Behemoth".
After all, many of the top powerhouses of the Talon Dynasty participated in the last battle.
Extraordinary materials for divine communication, the inheritance of card masters, even broken divine heads, divine weapons, and remnants of royal power and luck.
Theoretically, it should be possible to find them on the battlefield.
There is probably no place in the entire Old Continent that can produce richer treasures than here.
Griffith did not join the main force, but planned to see what was going on over there with the female insects.
Only she is qualified to contact that kind of existence.
But when she went there, the bugs were still there, but the bug mother Kalakta had disappeared.
Another thing worth noting is that in the debris of the ruins, she found an immovable black stone tablet.
Others didn’t know what the stone tablet was, but Ji Xun did.
He was not surprised to find a [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet].
Looking back, every stone tablet seems to be involved with the old gods.
Griffith was temporarily unable to show up, so Ji Xun and the others took a painting boat to meet up with the exploration team of the Dragon Rebel Army.
A few days later.
The depths of the void.
Ji Xun and the others had a small goal, and they found the rebel dragon army scattered and hiding in various ruins along the way.
This is an inconspicuous piece of plane fragment.
When Ji Xun and others came, there was a team of several hundred people exploring here.
Because there happens to be a distorted light gate here.
Seeing the arrival of several Aragon cadres, the rebel dragon troops stationed there also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Captain Aragon, you are finally here."
"Rom, what's going on now?"
"Captain Aragorn, it's like this. We had already found the area where the imperial capital Behemoth collapsed and harvested a lot of treasures. But the people from the Holy See didn't know how they found us. So we evacuated temporarily. Come out. A large number of mercenaries have been sent to the Holy See, and they are now stepping up their exploration. However, the development of those large extra-dimensional spaces is extremely difficult, and they should not be able to deal with them in a short time."
" Well."
"This is a small alien space "Fortress Siege", we are almost done with it."
"."
After saying hello, Aragorn also asked about the situation.
Pretty much what I expected.
The Holy See has seized the core area of the ruins.
They have many people and strong strength, and a steady stream of war slaves are sent over to open up wasteland.
The Rebel Dragon Army had no choice but to retreat.
But the problem is not big.
The main tactic of the Rebel Dragon Army was to fight guerrillas.
Originally, I planned to develop it secretly by myself. Now that enemies are helping to develop it, all they have to consider is how to maximize their profits.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Aragorn did not introduce Ji Xun and others too formally.
Especially Chujiu and Nanjing, they were wearing cloaks and could not be seen clearly at all.
Ji Xun observed the ruins camp while listening to Aragorn's chat.
In addition to a few teams of the Rebel Dragon Army, there were more people from the Alliance Army.
Not long after they arrived, they happened to encounter a group of people walking out of the distorted light door.
Although almost all of the dozen or so people who came out were disappointed, their faces were all filled with the joy of a huge harvest.
As soon as the leader came out, he excitedly and proudly reported to an officer: "Captain Bart, you have lived up to your command! We were lucky this time. We passed the B-level plot difficulty perfectly and produced several A gold-quality mechanical blueprint, and a large amount of rare metals. Corporal Rogge also obtained the golden devil mark of [5 of Spades]!"
"Well done."
< br>
"Six died."
"Yes. Major Mark, record the information, and let the others recover and rest first. I will record the battle achievements and rewards and pass them to the headquarters. Wait for the logistics ship to arrive. , you can take a vacation.”
“Yes, Captain!”
“.”
This is a normal extra-dimensional space exploration operation.
But the difference is that the participants are well-trained professional soldiers.
Everyone in the team looks very capable, and their aura is as sharp as a blade.
Ji Xun's current vision can be seen at a glance. Everyone in this team is considered to be the best in their rank.
After all, these are not ordinary adventurers, but an elite legion cultivated by the Lionheart family.
When Ji Xun and Catalina talked about this joint exploration of the lost imperial capital, they both knew the significance of this adventure.
Therefore, the people sent are all carefully selected elites.
Although exploration is very risky, there will inevitably be losses.
But it is also necessary.
This ruins is a huge treasure house, but whatever is excavated has a high probability of being of high quality.
This can be seen from the fact that Ji Xun participated in the "Horror Worm Cave" before.
Once the mechanical drawings and materials harvested are mass-produced, it will be of great significance to the Alliance Army in increasing their combat power.
Moreover, participating in exploration is also a kind of exercise for the sergeant. The extradimensional space will produce some treasures that are very suitable for the adventurer himself.
Just as I was thinking about it, the commander with the rank of senior colonel had arranged for a new group of exploration teams and ordered: "Major Polly, after the latest information is sorted out, you will lead the team in. Next time Focus on exploring the hidden plots of B-level difficulty and trigger more side missions. Don’t be too radical and ensure the safety of personnel as much as possible.” The major gave a military salute: “Yes, captain! Make sure to complete the mission.” !""."
Ji Xun looked slightly lost in thought.
Professional soldiers are really different from the casual adventurers he usually interacts with.
This is a group of people with faith and belief.
But hearing that their goal was to pass the level B level, Ji Xun also felt slightly strange.
For him, this plot difficulty is not attractive.
But when I thought about it, it suddenly dawned on me.
Legions and individuals have different needs for adventure.
Of course, individual adventurers pursue the ultimate single reward.
But the Legion doesn’t need it.
It doesn’t have to be S or A level. Even if it is B or C level, you can still get a lot of treasures if you clear it many times.
As long as the base number is large enough, there will always be "lucky people" who are lucky enough to draw good things in the settlement draw.
And the quality of these extra-dimensional spaces is high enough, even the output of low-difficulty clearance is already very good.
The overall rank of the Alliance Army is not high now, and things that are too high-end cannot be digested.
It’s not worth it to challenge some ultra-high difficulty with so many casualties.
On the contrary, you can maximize your benefits by clearing the lower-difficulty plot multiple times.
Whether it is the Alliance Army or the Rebel Dragon Army, such large organizations have countless mature and efficient plans for land reclamation.
There is no need for Ji Xun to worry about it.
For some reason, Ji Xun had an inexplicable feeling that he should go to the camp.
Think about him standing up and taking a few steps.
The camp with a few hundred people was not very big. After turning around, I could see everything in a blink of an eye.
However, when Ji Xun looked at a "prisoner" locked up in the corner, his expression was stunned: "Senior Xu?"
He never expected that he would meet here again after a long absence. Old man Xu.
But having said that, in these few meetings, this guy has always been a prisoner.
Why were you arrested again now?
If he saw it in the enemy's prison, Ji Xun would be happy to watch the excitement.
But when the Alliance Army saw this old man being arrested, the corners of his eyes twitched and he hurriedly walked up.
It’s not good for you to arrest anyone, but you arrested this one.
Facts have proved countless times that if you catch him, you may not be able to do it, but the group will be destroyed.
Old man Xu also looked up, and he recognized Ji Xun in a cloak at a glance. Zhang Gang's still sluggish old face suddenly smiled like a stretched chrysanthemum: "Oh, brother Ji Xun!" All eyes were attracted.
Ji Xun took off his cloak and walked over quickly: "Senior, why are you here?"
Other people in the camp also looked over curiously.
The senior colonel commander of the Alliance Army also recognized Ji Xun and came over immediately: "Bart, the commander of the Red Fang Regiment of the Fifth Legion of the Alliance Army Lions, has met Mr. Ji Xun!"
Ji Xun was not surprised that he was recognized. Now he is a "celebrity" in the Alliance Army.
The wanted criminal was already well-known before, but now everyone knows that he has a close relationship with the Allied Commander-in-Chief Catalina.
Ji Xun also recognized the colonel and nodded: "Yes. I have seen you in Innocence City before."
That time at Rose Manor, this was Catalina's guard.
Colonel Bart was also surprised that the other party remembered him and gave him a military salute.
Whether it is his identity as a young lady or the commander of the Alliance Army, he knows that the person in front of him has a higher position than himself.
As Bart said, he immediately called for someone to unchain the old man Xu, and at the same time explained with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry, Sir Ji Xun. This old gentleman was found nearby by the previous patrol."< br>
He did not say "suspected spy", but said euphemistically: "Later he said he knew you, and then we kept him here."
"Yes."
Ji Xun also expressed that he understood.
In this ruins, I met someone who was not from my side, and he looked so sneaky. It was strange that he was not taken as a spy.
But what he was curious about was, how did the old man know how to use his own name?
Ji Xun's expression was slightly strange, and he helped to untie the iron chain on Old Man Xu's hand, and at the same time asked: "Senior, why are you here?"
Fortunately, these people really believed that they knew each other, otherwise they would have to If the old man is sent to an extra-dimensional space to be cannon fodder, many people will probably die.
On the side, Colonel Bart looked a little embarrassed when he saw that the old man really knew Ji Xun.
Listening to the sound of "senior", he also knew that he seemed to have captured a very special person.
After all, not everyone can come deep into the ruins.
And it wasn't just him, almost everyone in the camp cast curious glances at Old Man Xu.
Old man Xu said: "I don't know either. One day after I came out of the extradimensional space with you, I was teleported to this area for no reason. I finally found a place to rest, and then I was caught by them. "
This old man seems to have been caught many times and is used to it.
After loosening the chain, he grinned his old face with missing front teeth and smiled brightly, as if he had completely forgotten the unfortunate experience before.
However, these words sounded different to the listeners. Coming out of an extradimensional space?
But when you come out of an extradimensional space, aren’t there always fixed exits?
Randomly transmitted?
Hiss.
Could it be S clearance?
This is the only possibility.
After everyone thought of this, when they looked at Old Man Xu, their eyes were different.
Although they didn't quite believe that such a plain-looking old man S had cleared some kind of extradimensional space, they heard that he was with Ji Xun, so they didn't doubt it.
For a moment, everyone’s eyes were extremely complicated.
Especially those high-level officials like Aragon.
After all, they knew that Ji Xun was capable of clearing the S difficulty space.
The cause and effect involved in Old Man Xu is too heavy, and contact with ordinary people does not mean it is a good thing.
Ji Xun had no intention of saying too much in front of everyone.
After saying hello to the senior management on both sides, he took Old Man Xu to the corner.
This old man appeared here, and he had a bad feeling.
Without any delay, Ji Xun directly found Aragorn who was still discussing the matter and said: "Aragorn, I think we may have to leave first."
Aragorn cast a puzzled look: "Huh?"
He also couldn't understand why Ji Xun had agreed to ambush the masters of the Holy See before, so why did he suddenly meet an acquaintance? Changed plans.
Ji Xun's eyes were full of complexity, "This matter can't be explained in just a few words."
"Okay!"
Aragorn looked at Ji Xun's troubled expression, Although he was still confused, he didn't say much.
Ji Xun turned around to leave, then thought about it and said one more thing: "Be careful."
I don't know if he has been implicated, but the reminder is correct.
Aragorn vaguely guessed something and nodded: "Yes."
Ji Xun did not dare to delay in the camp, and led Old Man Xu to escape deep into the void.
Chu Jiu and Nan Jing also accompanied them.
The two women were also puzzled by Ji Xun's behavior, but they didn't ask any more questions.
After Old Man Xu got out of trouble, his mood immediately improved and he started talking more.
The old man looked at the two girls in Chujiu with a daisy-like smile on his old face: "Oh, these two girls are so pretty. Even better than that girl last time."
Ji Xun didn't know what to say.
Nan Jing on the side blinked his big curious eyes and refused to recognize him. He took the initiative to introduce himself: "Grandpa, my name is Nan Jing."
Ji Xundu called him "senior", and she naturally called her "grandpa".
Of course, she was more curious about who the old man was talking about "last time".
When Old Man Xu heard the word "Grandpa", he immediately became excited and responded: "Oh, the girl is so polite. She has a strong destiny and will definitely achieve great achievements in the future."
This sounded like an ordinary wish from an elder, but Ji Xun looked sideways as he listened.
He has not forgotten that this old man can do divination.
A hundred years ago, he divined Song Yu, and it came true throughout his life.
Now listening to his evaluation of Nanjing, Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
Nan Jing also blinked when he heard this, and said obediently: "Thank you, grandpa~"
Although Chujiu on the side did not speak because of his temper, he also showed due respect.
Old man Xu glanced at it and said: "Well, I haven't seen such a strong royal destiny for a long time. The two girls are very good. Ji Xun, you are so lucky."
Ji Xun chuckled as he listened, "I'm borrowing the good words from my senior."
We can chat about these things later.
He now needs to confirm something else.
Ji Xun did not say much on this topic, and instead asked: "Senior. The insect mother Kalacta has revived, do you know?"
He knew very well that Old Man Xu was very If you are forgetful, you need to be reminded sometimes.
"Insect Mother, what Insect Mother?"
"It is the 'Mysterious Insect Mother, Kalakta' of the Seven Lords of the Scourge."
"."
This statement , the old man really remembered something and said: "Oh, yes! Bugs!"
Nan Jing and Chujiu on the side were slightly surprised when Ji Xun said this to a low-level card master. The taboo name of the outer god?
Although they knew that this old man might be a bit complicated, what happened next was even more surprising.
Old man Xu said: "I went to a ruins a few days ago, and there were a lot of bugs in it. Oops, my memory is so bad that I forgot what happened."
"."
When Ji Xun heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Have you really been there?
Stone tablet, foreign god. Old man Xu.
These three appear at the same time every time.
There must be a connection.
Ji Xun was not surprised that Old Man Xu would appear in that place.
It's just that he still can't figure out why the mechanical angel in the extradimensional space of "Horror Worm Cave" showed hostility to the old man.
Now that he was getting closer to the truth about Talon's collapse, he felt that he was getting closer to the time when the final mystery was revealed.
