Chapter 429 The Assassin King
"Mad King" Alduin personally went out of the city to join the battle, and the outside of Behemoth City has become a crumbling meat grinding ground.
In a battle of this level, even high-level card masters are cannon fodder.
Ji Xun, Chujiu and Nan Jing did not dare to delay and rode on the Undead Bone Dragon.
It must be said that the Behemoth of the Talon Dynasty Empire three thousand years ago was truly a pinnacle masterpiece in the field of architecture.
When the bone dragon flew close to the city wall, Ji Xun and the others were immediately shocked by the majestic white stone city wall and could not calm down for a long time.
The bone dragon is the psychic creature of the high priest Nan Shenyu, and is known to all the imperial city guards.
The three of them passed through several barriers unimpeded and entered the capital.
When they came, the troops in the city kept pouring out, rushing to reinforce His Majesty the Emperor.
The rebels had been setting up formation outside the city for a long time. When the two sides encountered each other, the battlefield immediately exploded into a pot of porridge.
Ji Xun observed silently.
Alduin, the "Mad King", killed himself happily, but this accelerated the collapse of the dynasty.
Originally holding on to the city, the rebels were afraid they would have to pay a hundred times the price if they wanted to break this mighty city.
However, now that we have given up the advantage of city defense and gone out to fight in the city, every time we lose some loyal soldiers, our decline will be accelerated.
Loyalty and tyranny form a strong contrast.
Looking at it this way, it seems that the collapse of the Talon Dynasty should also be a historical necessity.
The war became more and more intense, and the legendary "law of war" gradually showed its traces in Ji Xun's eyes.
After entering the city, Feilong sent the three of them directly to the post house where the royal court received distinguished guests.
After Nanjing said "thank you" to the bone dragon, it flapped its wings and flew outside the city.
Having entered the city, it can basically be said that this exploration of the extradimensional space is safe.
According to this posture, at least in the timeline of this space, it is impossible to break the city.
The solemnity that had been hanging on the faces of the three people now relaxed.
Qidi also reminded: "Discover the special scene 'Imperial Capital Behemoth', and the hidden plot exploration rate +80%"
Looking up, the buoyant building with a rainbow and a waterfall The empty island is the palace.
The city looks more shocking than what is seen from a distance, it is solemn and gorgeous, and the majesty and domineering of the emperor are everywhere revealed.
The city is full of gorgeous and aesthetically pleasing white buildings, colorful flowers are blooming on the flower stands on the street corners, pedestrians on the street are wearing all kinds of gorgeous costumes, and mechanical airships are floating in the sky
This is a height of machinery and magic Developed city.
Everything here represents the pinnacle of civilization of the Talon Dynasty.
Even if the empire's destiny has declined to the extreme, no city in the Eastern Wasteland three thousand years later can compare to this scene.
If the whole city hadn't been shrouded in the clouds of war, this would have been the most beautiful, spectacular, and amazing city I'd seen last season.
This time point was the last moment of Talon's collapse, and the imperial city of Behemoth was filled with human card masters gathered from the entire empire.
The battle outside the city also caused a commotion in the city. People took to the streets one after another, with worries on their faces.
The three of them stood on the roof of the post house, overlooking the large area of the nearby city, thoughtfully.
In Ji Xun's eyes, it was as if he had stepped into history and seen the glorious civilization of the past.
Although Chujiu on the side was expressionless, his crystal eyes were trembling. As a blood descendant of Augustus, she felt a different kind of sigh in her heart as she watched the end of the glorious empire created by her ancestor.
The rise and fall of the dynasty, and then its demise, make people feel like they are watching a human life.
Rebirth, thriving, aging, and finally death.
The laws of the universe are easier to see in history.
Nan Jing’s eyes were full of curiosity, looking around at this prosperous street scene.
The battle outside the city is too far away, and there are city defense restrictions and isolation, so nothing can be seen at all.
I don’t know how long this battle will last.
Waiting is also waiting.
Suddenly Miss Wanzitou suggested: "Ji Xun, Sister Chujiu, do we want to go for a walk in the city?"
With this question, Chujiu's slightly dilated pupils focused and nodded. head.
My thoughts also returned to reality from that inexplicable sadness.
Ji Xun also meant the same thing.
The reason they entered the city was to trigger various hidden plots in the royal city.
After all, this was Behemoth three thousand years ago, the peak era of technological civilization and card master civilization!
The three of them said and left the inn directly.
Behemoth during the war had restrictions and prohibitions everywhere, and the city was full of patrolling machines and armored soldiers.
But because Ji Xun and the others were sent by Bone Dragon, everyone knew that they were guests of the high priest.
With this identity, the three of them can travel freely in the city.
Now that the battle has reached its most critical moment, there are no entertainment shops open on the streets.
Most of the stores that are still open are war-related supply shops.
Machine shop, card shop, extraordinary material shop.
This is exactly what Ji Xun and the others need.
The current scene in Behemoth City is somewhat similar to the current situation in the Eastern Wasteland.
Due to the war, many good things such as various mechanical equipment, classics, spell cards, demon marks, professional cards, etc. that were originally hidden in the treasure houses of the nobles and royal families have flowed into the market.
Although they can be sold in shops, most of them are not very high-end.
But after all, this was the glorious era of the Kashi civilization three thousand years ago!
Royal Magic Card Shop, Thunderbird Mysterious Books Shop, Lawrence’s Mechanical Workshop, and Borens Mechanical Armor Factory Store.
In those shops on the street, all kinds of silver and black iron quality materials are almost everywhere. .
Even gold-quality cards are not uncommon in small shops.
This is Donghuang, and the few things on the table are all exquisite products that can only be seen in the auction house.
Looking at Qidi again, these are things that can bring out the extra-dimensional space!
In other words, if you can get it, you can take it out.
In the city, there is no need to fantasize about robbing.
Only buy.
Although the prices during the war were ridiculously high, fortunately Ji Xun and the others were not short of money.
As long as there is something they like, they will not be stingy about buying it.
"Ji Xun, look, this is the original version of the legendary and lost [Plague Doctor Encyclopedia]. Oh my God, it turns out to be a complete twenty-nine volumes!"
"Sister Chujiu, That forbidden spell [Advent of the Ice Dragon] card is very suitable for you~"
"."
Ji Xun and the others have no need for cards or materials that are lower than gold. .
But even so, they found surprises along the way in various stores.
Things are generally very expensive.
But some goods are incredibly cheap.
For example, those second-hand textbooks leaked from the Card Master Academy!
In the eyes of Ji Xun and the others, these classics, which almost record the complete basic knowledge system of card passers, were just waste paper disposed of on the street stalls three thousand years ago.
The three of Ji Xun walked and bought along the way.
They found almost all of the card master's thirteen paths to the gods and fifty-two sequences of basic professional classics.
The book is a second-hand book, but the knowledge inside is indeed the crystallization of the wisdom of countless ancestors of the Talon Dynasty.
If these second-hand books were taken back to the Eastern Wasteland, they would definitely be considered priceless even in today’s Southern Continent.
The three of them knew the "reward" given by the will of space.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for adventurers to enter the imperial city.
And even if you enter the imperial city through a secret passage, without a reasonable identity, it is impossible to wander around the city like Ji Xun and the others.
Even the patrolling soldiers all over the street are still a danger that cannot be matched.
So entering the imperial city itself is a difficult challenge.
Behemoth is very prosperous and has many shops.
On the street where they are located, there are dozens of various shops where one can spend a whole day shopping.
Ji Xun didn't know how long he could go shopping, so he focused on the machinery shop.
The card master resources he needs are of extremely high quality and are almost impossible to buy.
But machinery is different!
The overall mechanical level of this era is much ahead of what it would be three thousand years later.
The mechanical items of the backward era that have been eliminated in some stores may be the top black technology of Donghuang.
As he expected, Ji Xun visited several shops and saw too many attractive mechanical products.
The machines that have been tested in the war are all practical and functional, good quality and cheap enough to be mass-produced!
[Bakli Magic Light Blade Military Version 3.0], [Thor Blaster], [Ghost Mysterious Signal Jammer], [Pterodactyl Steam Powered Glider], [Invisible Force Field Actuator], [ Heavy Seismic Generator], [Climate Bomb], [Ares Armor 1.5T].
Ji Xun spent a few resources and exchanged a large number of drawings, and even some reference objects and equipment. .
With these drawings and objects, you can put them into practice and produce them in a short time!
These are things that may require countless adventurers to spend their lives exploring other dimensions outside. Ji Xuncheng purchased them in bulk.
Theoretically speaking, if there is enough time, the property carried by Ji Xun and the others is enough for them to buy half of the wisdom of Talun civilization!
The harvest from this extra-dimensional space will be unimaginably rich!
However, Ji Xun also had a vague foreboding that Sensing Space Will would never buy unlimited purchases with stuck bugs like theirs.
As expected, not long after, a small accident occurred.
In "Green Machinery Drawing Shop".
The shop selling blueprints is rarely visited now. Only Ji Xun and three others are scanning the goods in the shop.
The streets were still crowded with people, but they were focused on the battle outside the city.
No matter where he was, Ji Xun remained alert at all times.
He suddenly glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a familiar figure: "Senior Xu?"
Ji Xun also didn't expect that Old Man Xu, who disappeared after entering the space, would actually meet him in the city.
And not only did he see Old Man Xu, the other party also noticed it immediately and turned his head to look into the shop.
However, at this moment when they looked at each other, Ji Xun secretly thought: "That's not right!"
He found that the eyes that looked at each other were not the familiar vulgarity, but sharp and wise. .
Ji Xun has seen this look. Is this Old Man Xu’s big account online? And if you look closely, you can see that the clothes on Old Man Xu are different from when he entered the city.
What’s even stranger is that there is a strong man with a big sword on his back beside him!
Ji Xun suddenly woke up and an outrageous idea flashed through his mind.
He realized that the old man Xu in front of him might not be the one he knew.
But, it’s Old Man Xu from three thousand years ago!
Just by looking at each other, the atmosphere instantly became weird.
Chu Jiu and Nan Jing on the side noticed something was wrong and looked out together.
Miss Wanzitou looked like an acquaintance and greeted happily: "Senior Xu!"
"."
Ji Xun's eyes twitched inexplicably.
He didn't know why he met Old Man Xu from three thousand years ago.
If he really guessed it, he really couldn't deduce the follow-up to this matter.
Why is this old man in the imperial capital?
At this time, "Old Man Xu" outside the door seemed to know that he had been recognized. He was suspicious for a moment and then walked into the store.
The strong man in black robe next to him also walked in.
In an instant, time stood strangely still.
Everything in the store came to a standstill.
There was still a crowd of people outside the door, but the shop owner who was flipping through the drawings had his hand raised high in the air, and his whole body remained frozen there.
Ji Xun knew that this was the domain of top-level experts.
The mysterious immortal in front of me has distorted the field of time.
"Old man Xu" walked in directly, his turbid eyes flashed with wisdom, he looked at Ji Xun and the others, and murmured: "It's strange"
When Ji Xun heard this, he immediately knew that he Don't know yourself.
It’s not that I forgot.
But just as he guessed, this old man Xu who lived three thousand years ago did not recognize him at all.
Old man Xu didn't hesitate and asked directly: "Junior, do you seem to know me?"
Chujiu and Nan Jing were not very familiar with Old Man Xu, and they didn't know why the originally wretched old man suddenly seemed to have changed.
Ji Xun only said: "Senior Xu, have you forgotten again? I am Ji Xun."
He was not sure how to explain it, nor was he sure whether he had guessed it right. , just a hint.
However, as soon as these words came out, Old Man Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was calculating something.
Turn around, a smile appeared on the suspicious old face, and he suddenly said: "Oh. It turns out that I have met you in the future."
"."
As soon as he said this, Ji Xun felt his scalp numb.
Before, Light Chaser Farro could recognize that he was in an extradimensional space, which was already amazing.
Now Old Man Xu said this again.
This made Ji Xun's brain a little hard to use.
It seems that these people are not in the same dimension as myself, but more like a "God's perspective".
This high-level being knows many things that cannot be understood by ordinary human minds.
When Ji Xun heard this, he didn't know how to answer: "This is you."
It's really the old man Xu who lived three thousand years ago, and he has no connection.
Furthermore, his intuition told him not to indulge in this relationship.
Because when he was talking, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and noticed something unusual.
It’s just old man Xu, he is always a secret.
The strong man following him made Ji Xun's heart skip a beat.
This man is very burly, but not uncommon in the imperial city.
At that moment, Ji Xun caught a glimpse of a silver light flashing under this guy's cloak.
This is armor!
People wearing armor are not uncommon, but when Ji Xun looked at the mysterious pattern that was not much exposed on the armor, he immediately felt that it looked very familiar.
He will never forget anything he has seen.
Naturally, I recognized it at a glance. This was the set I had seen in the battle at the Shenxu Treasure House. It was the strongest legendary armor known as the 'Immovable Fortress' [Frederick I's Silver Armor]. !
Ji Xun was not surprised to see this set of armor here.
But the surprising thing is, why is this man wearing this armor?
You must know that this set of armor has powerful pollution properties, and almost only card masters in the [Hero] sequence can wear it.
However, the sequence of heroes is very special during war times.
If not an official war hero, then a hero of the resistance.
Ji Xun felt that he was most likely not an official figure in this outfit.
So.
When Ji Xun came here, his eyes twitched inexplicably.
He was vaguely aware that something was not going well.
However, Ji Xun's expression did not show anything unusual.
But in front of Old Man Xu, who had taken a large number, his thoughts seemed to be completely uncovered.
Old man Xu looked at Ji Xun, his eyes stiffened for a moment, as if he had seen through everything, and chuckled: "Junior, your mind is very active. Why, are you interested in taking risks together?"
Ji Xun listened and made a thump.
Because of this sentence, his deduction developed in a direction that is extremely scary if you think about it.
At this time, Enlightenment also appeared at the same time: "S-level hidden plot trigger: Mysterious people from the rebel camp have sneaked into the imperial capital. They are going to conduct an assassination and invite you to participate. Accept Y/N?"
Assassination?
Really?
Ji Xun knew that it was useless to hide it, and it was difficult to hide the shock in his heart at this moment.
The moment he heard the inquiry just now, he deduced this possibility.
But the will of space confirmed this statement.
The target of the assassination who needs a presence like Old Man Xu, you can guess who it is with your buttocks.
Suddenly, Ji Xun understood why the Mechanical Angel had shown hostility to Old Man Xu before.
Now it seems that Old Man Xu, who has been around for three thousand years, may have played a very important and special role in the Talon Collapse War.
Looking at the big sword carried on the back of the cloak again, Ji Xun felt his right eyelid twitching inexplicably.
I have seen Alduin's crazy and unparalleled combat power before. One-on-two, he faced the Light Chaser Farro and the Outer God Mutu without losing the slightest bit. He knew that the strength of this mad king was definitely the ceiling for card masters.
Ji Xun was a little confused before, who can kill Emperor Talon?
Because by coincidence, he had seen the body of "Mad King" Alduin in the imperial tomb.
The last emperor had his chest pierced by the [Holy Sword of Olympus], the sacred weapon of the four kings' power.
What a coincidence, those who can use this holy sword must have the royal destiny.
And what’s even more coincidental is.
The card masters in the [Hero] sequence are one of the few who are almost born with royal destiny.
He is also the one who can use this great sword.
The cloaked brawny man in front of me is wearing [Frederick I’s Silver Armor], a set of legendary armor, which is a heroic sequence at eighty percent.
So it is not difficult to speculate that the big sword behind him is most likely the Holy Sword of Royal Power.
After further speculation, it is almost certain that their target of assassination this time is none other than Emperor Talon - "Mad King" Alduin!
This series of thoughts was deduced naturally.
Ji Xun was very interested in witnessing this shocking assassination that changed the history of civilization.
But this is a multiple choice question.
Nanjing’s ancestors were the high priests of Talun, so they are now considered members of the Talun camp.
If you really choose to accept the mission, you will be in the rebel camp.
I finally waited for the opportunity to meet Nan Shenyu, but I missed it.
Compared with the uncertainty of the mission, meeting the South High Priest is almost a sure and big opportunity.
Whether it is Ji Xun himself or from the standpoint of a friend, he will choose the latter.
And Ji Xun likes to take risks, but not to risk death.
In this S-level plot in an extra-dimensional space, there is a high probability of death at the eighth level, and he does not want to die.
Although I know that assassinations have been successful in history, I don’t know if it was this time.
Moreover, Old Man Xu can't die, so he, the cannon fodder, can't die.
Old man Xu stared at Ji Xun's face, as if he had completely seen through his thoughts, and smiled again: "Boy, your deduction ability is pretty good, have you met Farlow? No wonder"
< br>Ji Xun didn’t know what the phrase “no wonder” meant.
But Old Man Xu seemed to have seen his answer and said: "In that case, see you next time."
With that said, he led the cloaked man out without looking back. shop.
Ji Xun and the other three were left looking at each other in confusion.
The moment he heard this, Ji Xun suddenly had an illusion in his heart, as if this was not a different dimension, but that he had really traveled through time and space and met Old Man Xu three thousand years ago?
The two left the shop, and the strange time field returned to normal instantly.
The shop owner also turned over a new page of drawings with his fixed hand, and asked enthusiastically: "Three guests, do you need this drawing?"
This inquiry interrupted Thoughts, Ji Xun also came back from his thoughts.
He and the two girls from Chujiu Nanjing next to him looked at each other, and all three of them saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Can’t figure it out, in a blink of an eye, they returned their attention to the drawings.
There are too many secrets in this extra-dimensional space
No, to be precise, there are too many secrets hidden in that period of history.
