Chapter 450 Giant Spirit City
Ji Xun was fished out of the quicksand by his teammates.
The injured second-level assassin has run away.
As expected.
If you can't kill them in a short time, there is no point in spending any more time.
Completing the mission is more important to the assassin than killing a few trainee knights who have no purpose other than venting their anger.
Young Master Sack is not stupid. He has been fighting for so long without being discovered by the family's high-level guards. He must have guessed that this forest should be covered with some kind of restrictive barrier.
So I kept running all the way, just to get out of the boundary.
Looking at the assassin's anxious pursuit, Ji Xun was even more certain that they should already be at the edge of the barrier.
Ji Xun was fished out of the dark quicksand by vines. When he opened his eyes, he saw a lizard face covered with scales.
Seeing that Ji Xun was not dead, Seri breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Su Lun, are you okay?"
"I'm okay."
Ji Xun exhaled. With a turbid air, his face showed a trace of relief for the rest of his life.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he felt his mouth was tingling again, and then he spat out a few mouthfuls of sand "Bah, bah, bah".
David and Gale have gone after the assassin.
Even if they can't beat them, they all have to go.
Seli, who is a magician, can't run fast, so he stayed to save people.
Sister Zhuo Sha is treating the seriously injured Gang Duoduo.
Ji Xun glanced at it. The dwarf's talent for thick skin and thick flesh saved this guy's life.
Although the wound opened by the dagger is deep, there is still breath left.
In addition to the high-end potions and accompanying priests from the Duke's Palace, there is a high probability that he will not die.
Now that he knows that the overall situation has been decided, Ji Xun is completely relaxed.
In this review, none of the six people in the team died.
And what’s amazing is that the three magic systems that should have been killed first were not injured at all.
The three teammates present obviously found it incredible.
They actually survived at the hands of a second-level assassin?
But now is not the time to say more.
Seli asked urgently again: "Should we catch up and take a look now?"
At this point, Zhuo Sha and Gang Duoduo couldn't help but look at Ji Xun. come over.
How could they not understand at this time that they were not dead just now, and this teammate's tactical command had a vital impact.
That set of tactics seemed simple, but being able to lay it out clearly in that emergency situation required extremely calm judgment and observation.
This is no longer something ordinary people can do.
At least they can't.
Although "Su Lun's" performance in battle is not eye-catching, it is very special.
Especially that skill [Quicksand Technique].
This let them know that the spell used to trap the enemy could actually be used to save their own lives?
They couldn't tell what was so powerful about it, but subconsciously, they already regarded "Su Lun" as the decision-maker in the team.
Ji Xun didn’t feel that there was anything special about his performance and that his performance was just right.
His avatar’s personality is endowed with all-element affinity, and he originally planned to take the [Wisdom] sequence of the snake oil profession.
Be more flexible and it won’t be surprising to use any sequence of cards.
Upon hearing the inquiry, Ji Xun knew that the current situation did not require them to do anything else, but he still said: "Yes. Let's catch up."
We had just fought for that Young Master Sak. .
Now that the crisis is over, we must show our face and show off.
With that said, the three of them followed Gang Duoduo, who was seriously injured but could still walk, while bandaging them.
The visibility in the forest is not high and there are thick trees everywhere.
Ji Xun and the four others were walking quickly, but before they could see the battlefield ahead, they suddenly heard a high-pitched dragon roar in the sky.
At this moment, everyone knew that it was the high-level guards of the Duke's Palace who had arrived.
The swooping dragon in the sky was extremely fast. After a few breaths, it was already flapping its wings and falling into the forest.
The hurricane made the dense forest rustle. Ji Xun and the four of them, despite the dragon's power, tacitly speeded up their pace.
Now that the master is in control of the field, if you don’t show your face now, you will wait until later.
In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the scene.
The high-level guard knights of Duke Langdon's family, and the seventh-level witch who was Young Master Sack's mentor, also arrived.
David and Gale, who arrived first, stood far aside.
Looking at the four teammates coming, they quietly came over.
The current situation has been controlled by the family's high-level guards, and there is no need for them, the reserve knights, to do anything.
Zhuo Sha bandaged Gang Duoduo, looked at the bloody wound on David's chest, and took out the healing potion.
Although David's expression remained indifferent, he did not refuse.
On the other side, the senior priest of the Duke's Palace was treating Sac's injuries, and he seemed to be fine.
But the young man’s face was very ugly.
Of course Ji Xun knows why.
Because the young man lost his [Curse God Card].
Not long after Ji Xun and the others arrived, there was a rush of footsteps in the forest.
A high-level assassin twisted two unconscious guys, sprang out of the forest, threw them in front of Sark, and reported: "Master, the assassin has been caught!"
Ji Xun glanced at the attire and immediately recognized that these were the two second-level assassins just now.
Just now, they were chasing down their team majestically, but now they were captured alive like dead dogs in front of the high-level card masters.
However, Ji Xun knew very well that even if he were to capture him alive, he would not be able to find any clues.
From the moment they didn't kill Sark, there was no meaning for these two people to exist whether they were alive or not.
Sac looked at the two assassins with cold eyes as if he wanted to kill someone.
If I hadn’t been lucky before, I would have almost lost my life in the hands of these low-level assassins.
But what he cared about was not these assassins who were already dead in his eyes, but asked in a deep voice: "Where is my [Curse God Card]?"
When asked in this indifferent tone, the guard couldn't help but stiffen his expression and responded: "I didn't find it."
Sark said angrily: "Damn it, go after it! Enrollment in the Royal Academy this time There is a ‘ghost’ among the trial personnel!”
How come he didn’t guess what went wrong until now.
Someone buys murder on the black market and hires a killer to kill him.
But those who dare to take action in the academy trial plan are not something that some low-level killers can do. They must be "ghosts" within the academy.
And if I hadn't given up the [Curse God Card] just now, that guy would have killed me too!
The guard responded: "Master, Captain Hook and the others have already gone."
That's not what Sack wanted to hear, and roared: "Go and chase, all of you. Go! If you can’t find the curse card, don’t come back!”
“Yes!”
After a few people were left behind, everyone fled. Entered the forest.
Ji Xun's six-person team saw Sak's furious scene in the distance.
The others then realized that it was their young master who had lost his [Curse God Card].
The only one who is not surprised is Ji Xun.
Because the main body witnessed the whole process of how the emperor's relics were lost.
As Sack guessed, there is a "ghost" among the college tutors.
Under normal circumstances, hiring three assassins would be enough to kill Master Sack and the group of reserve knights.
According to the original plan, the assassin could leave quietly after killing someone. There is no need for the "inner ghost" to be exposed here now.
After all, leaving any traces may reveal one’s true identity in the academy.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.
Just now, seeing that the two assassins failed to kill Young Master Sark and were about to leave the barrier area, the spy who was secretly observing had to take action.
It was precisely because Sack thought of this that he decisively shot the [Curse God Card] in another direction at the last moment when he sensed the crisis.
He knew that the assassin had two purposes, one was to kill himself, and the other was to kill this relic of the Great Emperor.
If the other party chooses to kill, his methods will be exposed and he will be traced to death.
But if you choose to chase the [Curse God Card], not only will you not be exposed, but at least half of the task will be completed.
The result is the same.
Sark used this method to save his own life.
But he also lost his curse card. And this scene was watched by Ji Xun the whole time.
Originally this was his plan.
After seeing the outrageous uses of the [Curse God Card], he originally thought of pretending to be an assassin to fish in troubled waters, at least to find a chance to grab the card.
But in this way, not only will someone be able to trace him afterwards, but the risk of his being staying near the Royal Academy in the future will also increase.
Ji Xun's current level of "I am the world" is already very high, and he will not take any chances.
As long as it is done, traces will inevitably be left on the logical line of events.
Not to mention there are some mysterious methods.
Moreover, the hidden "ghost" will definitely take action.
Ji Xun was ready to kill people and get goods.
However, unexpectedly, reality gave him a better choice.
Sac flew the card away, and the "ghost" really chose to chase the card.
Ji Xun knew there was such a person nearby, but he had never noticed it before.
It wasn’t until this guy grabbed the card that he discovered it.
The "ghost"'s concealment method is very clever, like a ghost, without leaking a breath.
Thinking that some very advanced invisibility relic must have been used.
However, in the eyes of Ji Xun, who is proficient in the laws of space, even if it is invisible to the naked eye, as long as it is within a certain range, spatial fluctuations can be felt.
Similarly, with Ji Xun's current stealth ability, the opponent cannot detect him.
Just as both of them were chasing the card, Ji Xun sensed the guy.
But I didn’t take action immediately.
When the man got the card, Ji Xun followed him quietly for a while.
The guy is obviously very familiar with this forest, and has already prepared a retreat and various means to confuse the pursuers.
It is impossible for the pursuers of Duke Langdon’s family to catch up with him.
This is convenient for Ji Xun.
He also discovered that the man's concealment skills were very good, but his level was not too high, probably only fifth or sixth level.
This made Ji Xunxin have a more perfect plan!
After guessing that the causal relationship between some mysterious methods was implicated in the inner ghost, he used the [Space Rune Stone] to cast [Empty Hand].
The level of the Emperor's relics is too high to be put into ordinary storage spaces, so this gives an opportunity.
Unexpectedly, the process went smoothly. The man stole the thing without any notice.
Ji Xun used this small space trick to fight against masters, and the probability of being discovered was very high.
But when used in front of a level card master whose level is lower than his own, the other party will not even know what happened, and the theft has been completed.
By the time the man realized that the thing was missing, Ji Xun had already disappeared, as if he had never appeared before.
I don’t even know when I disappeared.
The timeline and logic are messed up, and even if someone traces it afterwards, there is no way to investigate.
The probability of Ji Xun's body being exposed will be greatly reduced.
Furthermore, even if some mysterious force discovers clues, who can determine which party is responsible for this kind of "black and white" behavior?
Absolutely not
Just like that, Ji Xundi got the [Curse God Card].
And the other side.
The people from Duke Langdon's Mansion are still looking for the "conspirator", but of course they can't find anything.
Such a big thing happened, and the senior officials from the Royal Academy also took action.
Although there is no special treatment for a grandson of a Duke in the academy, the incident happened during the academy's entrance test, so the negative impact of this incident is great.
Many experts came from the academy to help with the investigation.
The two assassins who were captured alive were not only tortured in various ways, but even had top-level card masters search their souls to recover part of their tampered knowledge.
But the clues obtained are also very limited.
This is a simple case of paid murder.
Assassins do things for money.
The connections in the black market have been dealt with long ago, and the clues have been completely cut off.
Everyone only knows that this incident is most likely an internal problem within Duke Langdon's family, and someone at the Royal Academy is secretly coordinating it.
As for who took the [Curse God Card], no one knows.
Even Ji Xun and the other six were subjected to strict interrogation.
After all, the six of them are the few people who participated in this assassination and are still alive.
But the fact is that their behavior of risking their lives to protect the Lord was witnessed by Young Master Sack.
This bravery clears all doubt.
Although Young Master Sack felt bad after losing the treasure, he also knew that loyalty was rare and prevented many in-depth investigations.
It also saved Ji Xun a lot of effort.
In this way, the team stayed in the forest for a whole day.
The person who planned the assassination this time was very clever, and the clues he could cut were cut off immediately.
Ji Xun did not inquire about the investigation results, but he could already guess that those people could not find out anything.
In this way, Young Master Sack lost the newly acquired relics of the Great Emperor and went to the Royal Academy angrily.
However, after this matter was reported back to the Duke's Mansion, Duke Langdon did not blame Sack. Instead, he sent someone to deliver another equally powerful ancient relic.
At the same time, Duke Langdon also summoned him personally and stopped the college's investigation plan.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that such a highly targeted assassination is most likely an internal problem within the family.
If we really want to investigate and find out the truth, I am afraid that the Langdon family will be embarrassed in the end.
So just do an internal investigation.
On the other side, Ji Xun followed the large army and arrived at the destination of the trip.
At the foot of the Titan Mountains, Airel Royal Academy is not an isolated academy.
There is also the largest adventurer city in the Southern Continent—Djinn City!
The Titan Mountains are the dividing line between the three empires and the World of Warcraft Forest. A large number of adventurers cross the mountains all year round to venture into the World of Warcraft Forest.
The pass where the Royal Academy is located is one of the safest routes for adventurers to go to the south.
Adventurers need camps and supplies, and the academy also needs a lot of materials and resources. The most important thing is that the students of the academy are either rich or expensive. They can afford to buy those adventurers from the depths of the Warcraft Forest. The treasure brought back.
Gradually, the majestic city "Djinn City" was formed near the college.
The Feilong carried Duke Langdon's Mansion and the group of people landed at the inn in the city that was dedicated to Feilong.
The "Giant City" is as its name suggests.
The whole city is huge.
Because many of the buildings in this city serve dragonborn transformations or real dragons, it is much larger than the human city in the Eastern Wasteland!
Majestic and spectacular.
Just this city gives people a huge shock that is indescribable.
The dragon loves treasure, so palaces inlaid with gold and precious stones can be seen everywhere in the city.
Mysterious dragon runes and totems can be seen everywhere in the city, and the air is filled with a strong aura of magic.
Various elements are intertwined here, and the elemental spirits of earth, wind, water, and fire are jumping in every gap in the city.
The streets are crowded with people, almost all adventurers carrying various weapons.
“Wow, that’s an exaggeration. Dragon City is bigger than Acheron, the capital of the Red Dragon King I’ve been to.”
“The elements here are so rich. I feel like if I practice here , at least much faster than other places.”
"Duoduo, don't you know this? The Magical Beast Forest in the south is the richest area in the continent. There is also a spirit gathering barrier in the academy. Where can you practice faster?"
"Ah, I don't know. , I have never been far away when I grew up, I have been blacksmithing in the mountains"
"."
This is the first time for almost everyone to come to Juling City. As soon as they get off the flying dragon, everyone They were also shocked by the scale of this city.
Even though Ji Xun had already inquired about the relevant information, looking at the majestic city in front of him, he was still shocked for a long time.
There is a reason why the Southern Continent is strong.
Just the rich element in the air is several times stronger than that of Donghuang!
Just like fertile soil and the Gobi Desert, the nutrients they bring to vegetation are worlds apart.
For the card master, practicing is simply getting twice the result with half the effort.
No wonder the Royal Academy of Airel was built here.
Seeing this, Ji Xun couldn't help but murmured in his heart: "No wonder Griffith said that the upper limit of the laws of the Southern Continent is higher."
At this moment, he clearly perceived that not only the elements, but also the universe The rules are also very different.
The biggest gap is the ancient college at the foot of the mountain in the distance.
There is the most complete inheritance of card master civilization in the world!
Seeing this, Ji Xun became more and more looking forward to his future studies in the college.
