Chapter 451: The Mysterious Copper Piece in Adventurer City
Just after the Langdon family entered the city, news about the assassination spread like wildfire.
In a cave deep in the Titan Mountains.
Here are some sophisticated instruments with lights on that are completely beyond the level of civilization in the Southern Continent.
A white-bearded old man with fried hair is controlling the slimy octopus tentacles on his back, studying something with concentration.
On the other side, a tall black stone tablet stood in the center of the cave.
If Ji Xun were here, he would definitely be able to recognize this as a [Void Forbidden Stone Tablet] at a glance.
At this moment, a man wearing a gold-patterned cloak and a Light Chaser mask had been standing in front of the stone tablet for a long time.
He looked at the words hidden on the stone tablet seriously, as if he had glimpsed the historical truth buried in the long river of time, and a little bit of wisdom appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, a dark gold card [Diamond 2] suddenly appeared out of thin air in the cave.
The spell engraved on the card flashed, and a graceful phantom figure seemed to come through space, accompanied by a lazy and charming murmur: "Oh, this [Curse God Card] is really easy to use." ”
Normally, it costs a lot of money to use the top-level spell [Void Teleportation].
But now the curse card is engraved with a spell, which can be easily released by consuming a little energy.
Jia Yu raised his head and looked over, glanced at the woman with wavy red hair, smiled and continued to focus on the research stone tablet, and did not forget to remind: "Although the Cursed God Card It makes it easier to release spells, but don’t rely too much on it. Otherwise, too strong a foreign object will easily affect your normal practice.”
“I know.”
The red-haired woman responded with a smile, and did not forget to complain: "Obviously she is not very old, but her tone is always like an old man."
The person who came was none other than the Illuminati Hermitage. Intelligence Commander "Firebearer" Irene.
When Irene arrived, she got straight to the point: "Chief, the news just came over there that the assassination failed."
Hearing this, Jia Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: " Failed? How could it be possible that even if the young master of the Langdon family had the [Curse God Card], those assassins would be enough to complete the assassination?"
The tone was a little surprising.
But that's all.
There was more thinking in his eyes.
Irene also found it incredible. After all, this person’s plans never went wrong.
And this time, it was the first time an accident occurred.
Not only did she not feel bad because of the failure of the assassination, but she looked at the leader's defeat and gloated a little: "It is said that there are some very good young people in the reserve knights of Young Master Sac. They delayed the assassin. , Sark ran away.”
She did not hesitate, paused, and said directly: "It has been confirmed that there is a Katu who knows [Ba Fist] and is very strong."
Hearing this, Jia Yu seemed to want to understand. What: "Senior Gong's disciple? In this case, it is possible."
"The information I got is that the boy is a slave bought by Duke Langdon's palace. He has excellent martial arts talent. There is a high probability that he is Gong Wu's disciple."
Irene shrugged and said: "But the failure of the assassination is not a big problem. Another big problem is that the [Curse God Card] in Sac's hand is missing. "
Jia Yu thought about the wording and asked: "Gone?"
As the professional intelligence leader of the organization, he would not use such words.
If she really didn’t see her, she would just tell her where she was.
Jia Yu guessed immediately that something was fishy.
Even if the assassination fails due to some extreme factors, the card will definitely be obtained. Why is it missing?
This seems to conflict with the logic of his deduction.
But for a moment I couldn't think of anything that went wrong.
“Yes.”
Irene was obviously puzzled and said: “The information I just got was confirmed by the contact person at the black market, but I didn’t get the thing. The answer is that the thing may have been left behind on the way. It is missing anyway.”
“Left?”
Jia Yu pondered this unfamiliar word and shook his head with a smile. .
It's normal for ordinary people to lose things.
But for high-level card masters, it is absolutely impossible to lose such vocabulary.
Irene obviously thought the same way. She expressed her analysis and said disdainfully: "I suspect it may be a gangster attack. Those guys from the Royal Academy probably think they can hold the [Curse God] Card]
After hearing this, Jia Yu pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "I've seen those guys before, it's more like an accident."
A trace of weirdness appeared on Irene's pretty face: "You don't really believe that things are lost for no reason, do you?"
"There are fifty laws in the universe, forty-nine are orderly, and disorder accounts for one of them. The truth is often hidden in the most ordinary places."
Jia Yu seemed to have thought of something, and muttered something he once said The words the teacher left for himself.
Even though I am the world, I cannot deduce everything.
In those deep eyes, it seemed as if the entire assassination operation had been reviewed in an instant.
He thought of more, but in the end he just smiled lightly: "Maybe it just disappeared."
"."
Irene rolled her eyes at him. Obviously, this explanation did not convince her, and she muttered, "It must have been taken by someone."
Hearing this, Jia Yu shrugged noncommittally and said: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, that [Curse God Card] will eventually appear, and then you will know who took it. It seems that it should have been obtained by some master who accidentally appeared. It's a bit Meaning. "
There is no way anyone could have interfered in his plan and he was completely unaware of it.
The only explanation is that this was an accident rather than a premeditated incident.
To explain it with extraordinary manifestations, this is an extremely low-probability disordered accident of the law of fate.
This is beyond human control.
Of course Jia Yu won’t take it to heart.
He did not dwell too much on this topic, and instead said: "Erin, be careful about the identity you pretend to be. The Langdon family has begun an investigation, although all the clues point to the murder this time. Mrs. Camille who married the second wife, but I guess there may be experts from the Holy See who are secretly involved."
Irene nodded: "Yes"
Jia Yu added: "As for the thunder dragon blood samples, just look for someone else's. Not to mention other things, there are quite a few pure-blood dragon descendants among the students of the Royal Academy every year."
Ai Lin's expression relaxed after hearing this: "Yeah."
Thought of something, she asked: "But Senior Gong Wu, we really don't know how to help? If we delay it, I'm afraid it will Very bad."
Hearing this, the white-haired old man who had been immersed in research in the corner of the cave suddenly spoke, with a tone of complaining about his old friend: "Old man Gong came to the Southern Continent and kicked me nineteen times. It's a martial arts dojo. It's strange that a pure-blooded human being makes such a big fuss and doesn't get targeted. I think he deserves to be in trouble this time. He's so old and he still acts like a brat in one day. You are so aggressive."
The person who dared to complain like this was none other than Master Merlin.
Jia Yu also laughed and said nothing, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Senior Gong is now on the threshold of the martial arts realm. He chooses to challenge masters from all walks of life just to get a glimpse of the highest realm of martial arts. Senior Gong Wu's belief in martial arts and His will is indestructible, don’t worry, he won’t die for the time being. Besides, from the glimpse of the law of fate, it may not be a bad thing for him to be imprisoned now.”
As soon as these words came out, neither Merlin nor Irene came out. Say no more.
Irene did not intend to stay here longer. Before leaving, she asked curiously: "Senior Merlin, has the bloodline ancestral formula you researched been restored successfully? In addition to the dragonborn bloodline sample, you also need Can I help you find some materials?"
When talking about his research, Merlin's eyes were full of fire and he smiled: "There are enough materials, thanks to the black magic from the Chaotic Era that you found. Formula, research has made great progress. During this period of time, I have confirmed that human genetic beastization can be artificially intervened through pharmaceuticals, and there is a high probability that bloodline enslavement can be successfully reversed. Giants, elves, and other superior mythological races are all fine. It’s just to make the experiment more rigorous.” I have long thought about the hidden dangers of bloodline suppression enhanced by alien creatures. The secrets about alien bloodlines are actually hidden in the [4 of Spades-Beast Walker] career sequence and various golem cards."
As soon as these words came out, Irene's expression lit up and she said: "The Southern Continent is going to be lively now. It won't be the dragons that enslave humans, but they will become extraordinary materials for card masters."
This is a moment to witness history.
She knew very well what the "blood potion" Merlin was researching was.
It is a potion that allows people to have animal blood without losing the dominance of human genes.
This means that the era of dragons absolutely enslaving dragonborns by their bloodline is over.
Ji Xun and his teammates followed Young Master Sak into the city.
It seems that there are still ten days before the Royal Academy starts.
Sak has no intention of going to the academy so early.
The group of people wandered around the Giant Spirit City.
Although Young Master Sack was assassinated, he also lost the treasure [Curse God Card].
However, the six Ji Xun people also received their due rewards as the bodyguards who had served the Lord well.
Not only were each of them awarded 10,000 gold coins, but more importantly, they were directly transformed from reserve knights to Sark's close bodyguards.
This means that the extraordinary resources in the future will be biased towards them as much as possible.
Resources come second.
What Ji Xun cares more about is the hidden benefits of this identity.
Being a close guard means being able to follow Sark and have access to the top teaching resources of the Royal Academy that are inaccessible to ordinary nobles.
Young Master Sack plans to visit the Adventurer Market in West City first.
I have lost my treasure and am in a bad mood. Let’s see if we can find some surprises.
After all, those emperor relics were found by adventurers from the Warcraft Forest these days.
There are various legends circulating in the market.
A large number of adventurers gathered from all over the empire gathered in Djinn City. After they explore the Warcraft Forest, most of the treasures they bring back will be sold on the spot in the city.
Gradually, a huge adventurer market was formed in the city.
There happened to be a large number of students from the Royal Academy hanging out in the city. Those little nobles were used to seeing the nobles at various large auctions, but they were more interested in this kind of street market.
Taobaoing at various street stalls, and occasionally you can find really good things.
Students who are not short of money also have a different interest in "picking up leaks".
Of course, more often than not, smart traders recognize these sponsors and deliberately sell their treasures.
The urban area of Giant Spirit City is very large, with hundreds of thousands of permanent residents and countless mobile adventurers.
Two bama official roads paved with huge stones run through the city from north to south and east to west, and also divide the city into four cross-shaped districts.
Not long after, a group of people took a carriage and arrived at the Leather Street in Xicheng. There were originally a large number of shops selling Warcraft furs here. Later, adventurers also sold some other materials, and gradually a large-scale street stall market was formed.
The high-level guards hid in the darkness, and Sark walked into the Leather Street with a dozen of his personal guards.
In the previous assassination, most of the guards died. Ji Xun's six newly promoted guards were also lucky enough to follow the team.
As soon as I entered the market, the noisy sound of sales reached my ears.
"Come on, come on, the third-order thunder magic core, the fourth-order light magic core, the last few that were just brought out from the World of Warcraft Forest."
"The sixth-order sawtooth in adulthood. Pterodactyl eggs, six in a litter, are perfect companion pets for dragon knights. They only cost 20,000 gold coins to pack up and take away”
"Freshly baked, A-level talented snow wolf cub, the best partner for adventurous hunting and protecting the homeland, loyal and reliable"
"Selling mithril fragments and star iron dust raw ore, 800/block."
"Selling various World of Warcraft forest maps, 'Dark Forest', 'Silent Valley', 'Mandrake Temple', 'Western Plaguewood'."
"Rare 'soul gems', advanced enchanted items There are only the last few essential materials left, come and buy them! We also sell 'Soul Mine Exploration Information'."
"."
Leather Street is lined with various street stalls, densely packed from the street to the end of the field of view.
There are many pedestrians on the street.
In addition to adventurers and speculators, you can also see some students wearing the luxurious red and black uniforms of the Royal Academy, as well as companion knights like Ji Xun and the others, and various retinues.
There is also a dazzling array of products, including many specialties from the Southern Continent.
Ji Xun glanced at it and saw that the price of Warcraft materials such as magic cores and furs was generally half that of shops in other cities.
In the country of origin, the price of these materials can be said to be really beautiful.
And there are many ancient items with soil that were obviously dug out from the ground.
Old inscription slates, pottery pots, corroded armor pieces, ancient carvings of outer gods, and broken parchment scrolls.
There is no shortage of antiques in this world, but these have words or are inscribed on them. Everything with magic patterns was brought out by the adventurers.
Because few people can understand those ancient texts that have been anachronized, no one can say the value of these things, and the prices are also very confusing.
It is possible that it records some ancient secrets or top-notch spells.
There is no shortage of legends of sudden wealth in Adventurer City.
Just before Ji Xun came, he had heard a lot, such as "Someone bought a random piece of iron and deciphered it and found a top-level magic spell." "Buying a clay pot at random is a high-level relic that can seal demons." The tattered carpets excavated from the ancient tombs are magic flying carpets." "The humble goose-necked copper lamp you bought can summon the lantern that fulfills three wishes of the person by rubbing it."
In short, these ancient objects are It's true.
They were all brought out from the ruins by adventurers.
If you have enough knowledge, you can really pick up the slack.
This is the first time for Ji Xun and the six of them to come to Giant Spirit City.
This is the first time for everyone to see such a large adventurer market.
This is also the first time I have seen so many strange treasures.
Even Ji Xun was dazzled.
There are just too many good things.
He is very interested in those weird things.
However, there are a lot of them in this market.
If you want to walk carefully from beginning to end, you may not be able to finish it for days or nights.
And every day a large number of adventurers come back from the Warcraft Forest, and there will be new surprises in the market every day.
However, the guards like Ji Xun came shopping with Young Master Sak, so they could only follow them silently.
The young master of Duke Langdon's family is used to seeing all kinds of treasures, and ordinary things are simply not eye-catching.
While walking, Young Master Sack stopped at a stall selling antiques and took a closer look.
The young master is obviously very interested in those ancient weapons.
This kind of vendor who sells a single item is usually a professional businessman. The goatee stall owner could tell at a glance that Sack's identity was not simple.
He greeted him enthusiastically and took out the good stuff from the bottom of the box: "Hey, young master, you came at the right time. I just got a few secret treasures."
These traders are always in the hands of adventurers. When you receive the goods in your hands, you usually have something really good.
They are just waiting to meet a customer who can afford the money.
Ji Xun and the others were watching not far away.
The magic dagger that the vendor took out was indeed good, and Young Master Sack was also very interested, so the team stopped.
But compared to these, Ji Xun was more interested in the fragments of ancient writing on the street stalls.
Seri is a lizard-human race, and their inheritance in the Southern Continent is much longer than that of humans.
He looked at Ji Xun's fragments with interest and explained: "This is Saksi writing, something from the Chaos Era"
"Oh?"
Ji Xun It was also the first time I saw this kind of writing, and I asked curiously: "Seri, do you know this kind of writing?"
"I don't know. But I know this writing style. The elders in the family have taught me."
Legal professionals are usually knowledgeable, and Seri is also interested in these writings, and said: "Legend Before the Talon Dynasty, there were some powerful civilizations in the Warcraft Forest, such as the Doxian Civilization, the Lordaeron Civilization, the Alterac Ruins Civilization, the Ancient Lodami River Civilization, etc., which are supported by relic evidence. I know of dozens of civilizations from different eras, spanning a time period that exceeds our understanding of history, and even earlier mythical civilizations before the Age of Chaos."
"That's it. ”
Ji Xun’s eyes sparkled as he listened.
In comparison, Donghuang is so barren.
Apart from mineral deposits and some extra-dimensional spaces, there is really nothing that can be regarded as a historical relic.
Just looking at this street stall now, Ji Xun felt like a new mysterious world was waving towards him.
An eye-opener.
Of course the natives of the southern continent like Seri know more, but they are not very interested.
But he saw that Ji Xun had been looking at the antiquities, and said: "Just take a look at these stalls. I really want to know more about them. There are many in the Royal Academy. After all, the rubbings of these relics, the academy A dedicated tutor will come to collect it.”
"Yeah."
Ji Xun nodded.
This is one of the benefits of the academy.
The college provides these ancient literature resources free of charge and is more complete.
Seri said that the others were not interested in these ancient texts that seemed to be at their fingertips.
However, Ji Xun's interest became more and more intense.
Now, he is interested in anything that can help him understand the world and improve his knowledge.
Other teammates also looked at it with gusto. The items on the stalls around them were all new to them.
Gang Duoduo is a dwarf, and he is very interested in those ores;
Gail is an assassin, and is interested in those dagger martial arts;
Tablesha is a priest, so she is particularly interested in those potions and formulas.
Only David, with a cold face, said nothing during the whole process.
Because he is still a slave, has no money, and is not qualified to buy anything.
"Master, you sincerely want this [Thunder God's Spear]. I will suffer a little loss and give you one hundred thousand gold coins!"
"Okay."
"There are two more pieces"
"Bought them together."
"."
As soon as he heard the price, Ji Xun knew what kind of small vendor this was. .
Obviously, they are managers from some big business houses. They come to the market and pretend to be traders. They have been waiting for these sponsors for a long time.
But it’s all about shopping anyway, and the things in the market seem to be more attractive to Young Master Sack.
I spent a lot of money to buy some nice things.
Ji Xun originally thought it was just an ordinary shopping trip, but then he realized that he had really underestimated this adventurer's market.
The stall owner saw Sak spend hundreds of thousands of gold coins with a wave of his hand, and immediately knew that this was a really rich young man.
At this time, he also came up with the real good stuff.
"Master, I have another treasure here. Do you want to see it?"
"Treasure? Do you know what is a treasure to me?"
"Of course! This thing It was just produced from the ruins, and I spent a lot of money to get it. I dare say that if this is not a treasure, I will give the stall to you."
"As long as you really have it. The price is good.”
“.”
Ji Xun looked at the goatee vendor's desperate look and thought that it was at most a high-grade relic.
However, when the guy mysteriously took out a small box and opened it to see a broken piece of copper, Ji Xun's pupils suddenly shrank: "Is this the thing?"
Not many people know this stuff.
But it happened that Ji Xun knew him and had seen him before.
What a treasure!
What the goatee took out was nothing else, but an original copper piece that recorded the fifty-two mysterious magic techniques!
Seeing this, Ji Xun was really amazed in his heart. Are the merchants in Jiling City so wild?
Although it is a fragment, a treasure of this level is really taken out casually?
