Chapter 476 Qin Rushi Arrives
Not long after, Ji Xun walked out of the Parkway Theater.
When his feet stepped out of the theater door, he exhaled a long breath of relief: "Huh"
Looking back at the scarlet curtain of the theater, his eyes A hint of solemnity emerged.
Although there was no conflict in the previous communication with Xie Guozhong, only he knew clearly that the oppressive feeling of talking to the will of an external god was so clear that it made people's hair stand on end.
Lao Xie is still the old friend he knew.
But not entirely.
Lao Xie allowed him to see the opposition between justice and evil, the conflict between chaos and law, a very contradictory individual.
Ji Xun couldn't describe the strange feeling.
They are friends, but not entirely.
This made Ji Xun's own attitude toward him contradictory.
As for the follow-up of the magic sword [Tierfeng]
Ji Xun never dwells on things that he cannot change.
From the moment Xie Guozhong came to the door, now was the best negotiation outcome he could see.
In other words, since he got this big sword a long time ago, it was destined that this thing would fall into the opponent's hands today.
Ji Xun couldn't help but think of what the guy once said when he asked Jia Yu how to deal with the [jar], which sounded very mysterious to the world: Most high-level ancient relics involve special rules of fate. No matter what process it goes through, it will eventually fall into the hands of the person who suits it.
Now, that sentence seems to be gradually understood.
Ji Xun saw the fate line that no matter how changed, the outcome was already destined.
There are not many people in the world who can use this magic sword [Tirfeng], so no matter where this sword is, it cannot change the result of falling into the Scarlet Sect.
As Ji Xun thought, his eyes gradually became distant, and the lines of fate were deduced from the past to the future.
Xie Guozhong borrowed the sword for the mysterious giant hand of the Royal Academy.
But it’s not that easy.
The Holy Holy See is still the overlord of the Southern Continent. With the foundation accumulated over countless years, they have more power than anyone imagines.
The people in the Holy See must know the situation of the Scarlet Sect better than others, so they must be wary.
The giant hand of the Royal Academy was exposed, and they must have thought that it might attract the vampires.
There may not even be a deliberate "bait" plan
The game between the two parties is far from being as simple as it seems.
Thinking quickly, Ji Xun sighed slightly again.
The content of the dialogue is inherently informative.
But the information hidden in it is even greater.
He narrowed his eyes and recalled what Xie Guozhong said when he was leaving: "But then again, the death of Emperor Lanlingst was actually related to the Illuminati Sect? And the 'Lord of Military Disasters, Monliod' also appeared."
He has been paying attention to the situation in the Southern Continent, and the recent intelligence he has obtained also shows that the Airel Empire is on the eve of a storm.
Today’s conversation confirmed many of his previous conjectures.
And during the conversation, Xie Guozhong mentioned the "Illumination Hermitage" in a very subtle way.
Although Ji Xun knew Jia Yu, the leader of the organization, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he still had no real understanding of the organization.
They are not in the historical record, but have existed for countless years.
Ji Xun read through so many classics but did not see any relevant records.
I feel the same way about a very crucial character, but one who is ignored by everyone, and that is "Old Man Xu".
Judging from what Ji Xun knows so far, Old Man Xu is an immortal.
The years he has lived may exceed anyone’s imagination, and the secrets involved must also be beyond everyone’s imagination.
And he was directly related to the death of Alduin, the last emperor of Talon, the Mad King.
Is an important figure at some key historical nodes.
He is such a person who changed the trend of history, but he has never been recorded in any classics, and there are no legends about him spread.
If Ji Xun hadn't known him, he really wouldn't have known him. I would have thought that there would be such people and organizations operating in the shadow of history.
And no matter how you look at it, the turmoil in the Southern Continent seems to have traces of what happened before in historical events.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun didn't think about sorting out the chaotic thoughts and chuckled: "Haha, human history is indeed a big cycle."
He got on the jumping dragon beast car and left the theater.
Time flies by and it’s another month.
Beicheng, Maple Leaf Hotel.
In the hotel, Ji Xun has long been accustomed to this kind of days of hard training alone.
David had left a month ago.
For his level, Ji Xuneng has taught him everything, and the rest is his own experience;
One more thing is that after the Scarlet Sect came to the door, he was by his side. It was not safe either, so I took him on a tour.
It’s dinner time now.
Ji Xun was sitting on a dining table piled with food. Next to him, a little loli was eating with her mouth watering.
It was Ivan.
There is also a plate of brightly colored Warcraft crystal cores on Zhuo Shang's dinner plate, and two elemental elves, Korra and Nina, are also enjoying the elemental dinner.
The two elves have become very familiar with Ji Xun, and they will occasionally happily hum a few beautiful songs of the elves while eating, which makes people happy both physically and mentally.
While eating, Ji Xun felt most relaxed.
Looking at the three little guys, it seems that life has some wonderful colors.
While eating, Cora suddenly asked: "Mr. Ji Xun, you said you are planning to go to the World of Warcraft Forest recently?"
Ji Xun took a sip of broth and nodded: "Yes. I will advance. We are at a bottleneck and need a chance. We plan to go to the forest to take a look. "
Korra looked very excited: "Ah, okay. When we return to the forest, we will definitely thank you for taking care of us during this time. Hospitality~"
Nina beside her also excitedly interjected: "Yeah! I will take you to find the ruins then. I don't know why you humans are so interested in those dilapidated houses."
The two elves actually didn't know that they no longer objected to being by Ji Xun's side.
Ji Xun chuckled when he heard this. He was familiar with it these days, and he had heard a lot of stories about the elemental elves and the fairy forest.
Many of them are things that have never been recorded in the classics.
He also realized that there were so many creatures in the Warcraft Forest that he had only heard of in myths and legends.
Elemental elves have nothing to do with human civilization, but are inextricably linked.
In many ancient civilizations, humans and elemental elves coexisted.
Some of the epic stories in history are spread among each other's ethnic groups.
Like "The adventures of a certain human archmage and elemental elves traveling around the world", "Dragon-slaying warriors and elves team up to defeat the dragon", "The mysterious witch comes to the forest to ask for healing spring water", " The love story between a prince and a certain elf."
The four of them ate and chatted wordlessly.
Ji Xun had not planned to go to the Warcraft Forest before because he wanted to practice.
But now, it seems that I have to go there.
One is the recent situation, there are too many situations happening in the World of Warcraft Forest, and he wants to join in the fun;
The other is that extraordinary practice has encountered a bottleneck.
The clone at the Royal Academy has read through almost all the books on the "field" in the library.
It was indeed an eye-opener for him.
He also learned too many ideas from those classics about how strong people structure their fields.
Ji Xun also feels that as long as he wants to build his own field, he can even choose from dozens of fields.
But he always felt that it was almost meaningless.
It seems like a pot of good ingredients. Although it is rich, it is not stewed and blended together.
He knew this was a normal bottleneck period.
When encountering this situation, there is no good way to solve it except hard understanding.
Previous experience is to go out more often.
So Ji Xun planned to go to the World of Warcraft Forest to see what was going on with the two elf groups.
After a while, we had dinner.
Ji Xun packed up and went out.
At this time, as usual, he would go to Hunter Square City to look for goods and inquire about news.
With the arrival of another wave of "treasure hunting", Djinn City, a city on the pass of the Titan Mountains, has become increasingly lively recently.
Every moment, adventurers and mercenaries from all over the southern continent enter the city to join the treasure hunting team exploring the Warcraft Forest.
In the evening, an animal cart team with a rainbow caravan flag also came from the north.
At the city gate, a queue of several kilometers long is queuing up to enter the city.
On the Didramon car at the end of the team, several bored mercenaries looked at the huge city and mountains that suddenly appeared in the field of vision, and they immediately became energetic.
"Look! We've arrived at Giant Spirit City!" "We've finally arrived. Is this the legendary Titan Mountain Range? It's really an exaggeration. In the Eastern Wasteland, you can't see such an exaggerated mountain range. Also, the elements here are so rich that it's simply exaggerated. Ah, no wonder it’s so easy for card masters in the Southern Continent to advance. If we in Donghuang had such conditions, I should have entered the seventh level long ago.”
“That’s it. The law is so strong that it can be touched like the wind."
"Hey, do you see that gap? Further south, it is said that there are monsters and all kinds of extraordinary materials everywhere. Recently, I heard the mercenaries in the caravan boast about the countless treasures buried in the forest, and my ears were ringing."
"Chief, do you think we can hunt the eighth-level monster this time?"
"I've said it all, now I'm going to be called 'Leader'. It's hard to say what the eighth level is. As long as we can hunt some seventh-level monsters with mythical bloodline, we have the advanced materials."
"I really want to get a few of them. A giant dragon is used as a mount. The name 'Dragon Knight' sounds cool, and it can fly everywhere."
"Hahaha, apart from other things, there are quite a few dragon-born creatures in the Southern Continent. Yes. But I heard that it is not easy to be a dragon knight. If you want to tame an adult dragon, let's get a nest of dragon eggs and raise them for a hundred or two hundred years. My grandson can become a dragon knight."
"Get out!"
"."
This is a small mercenary group with only more than twenty people.
The flag bears the image of a large sword and shield.
"Big Sword Mercenary Group", an inconspicuous name.
In order to cope with the inspections along the way, they accepted the employment of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce and escorted the goods all the way to Giant Spirit City.
It was the first time for the group members to come to Giant Spirit City, and even the first time to the Southern Continent, and they all seemed very excited.
"Look, the white buildings at the foot of the mountain are said to be the famous 'Irel Royal Academy', a place with the most complete extraordinary heritage in the world. It's a pity that only high-ranking nobles are qualified to study there. Otherwise, we When are you going to sneak in and take a look?"
"Don't think about it. There are ninth-level experts in the Royal Academy. With your stealth skills, it would be a joke if you were caught. Come on."
"Be more careful after entering the city. In addition to the materials you are looking for, ask for more information about the emperor's relics."
"."
The team. Inside, the female captain wearing armor and carrying a big sword looked at the brightly lit city in the distance. Her eyes were calm, but she seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of her eyebrows were slightly raised.
Xicheng, Leather Street.
The Adventurer Market here is more lively than a month ago, and there are many more stalls.
The adventurers randomly laid a piece of cloth on both sides of the street, placed those ancient relics that still smelled of earth, and started selling them on the street.
Ji Xun was walking on the street, looking at the goods on the stalls as usual.
It must be said that more and more high-quality products have appeared in the market recently, and high-end Warcraft materials are also emerging in endlessly.
Ji Xun has lived in Juling City for so long, and of course he knows the reason.
Recently, as more and more adventurers join in, the development progress of previously discovered ruins groups is also getting faster and faster.
In the depths of the inaccessible forests, there are mostly top-level monsters and various unpredictable dangers. But recently, a large number of large mercenary groups and high-level hunters have arrived after hearing the news. Those dangerous areas are gradually being explored in depth, and of course there are more and more good things.
As Ji Xun walked on the streets, he would see some adventurers with powerful auras from time to time.
Most of them have their team's badges hanging on their chests.
"King's Knight", "Golden Spear", "Silver Moon's Glory", "Red Oak".
You can see the members of these top mercenary groups in the southern continent.
Not only the folk adventurers, but also some noble private soldiers wearing standard armor, and groups of "Holy Dragon Knights" of the main legion of the Holy See wearing snow-white and silver armor.
These people have all gathered from other places and come to Djinn City in the past month.
The news Ji Xun received from the intelligence dealer was that the remnants of the Light Party were driven deep into the Warcraft Forest, and vampires from the Scarlet Sect also appeared in the Giant Spirit City. The Holy See issued a mission of encirclement and suppression, and the three The big kingdoms and major nobles all sent troops.
The city suddenly became so lively.
Ji Xun has watched things develop bit by bit until now, so it is not surprising at all.
He even speculated that the focus of so many powerful forces in the Warcraft Forest was not just for encirclement and suppression, but was most likely related to the Emperor's relics and the "rumor".
Ji Xun has now basically confirmed that Emperor Lanlingst fell somewhere in the Warcraft Forest.
He had been curious before as to why it was a certain place and not somewhere else.
There is now a rumor circulating among adventurers that the location where those cursed cards were found is the relics of a powerful and mysterious ancient civilization.
That civilization is so powerful that it has a fatal attraction for even the top card masters, and it may also have buried the secrets of the ancient gods.
There are many rumors.
Ji Xun has heard at least dozens of versions.
Most of it is hearsay.
There are very few adventurers who can actually come back alive from that dangerous area, and those few information are monopolized by the real high-level people.
Ji Xun did not have his own intelligence organization, so he could only rely on bits and pieces of intelligence to deduce.
Judging from the reactions from various parties and the recruitment situation of the mercenary union these days, the nobles are really trying to develop a dangerous area in the Warcraft Forest at any cost.
In other words, the "rumors" are basically credible.
There really is such a mysterious relic of ancient civilization.
Ji Xun planned to go to the World of Warcraft Forest this time. In addition to the bottleneck of cultivation, it was largely because of curiosity about this "rumor".
Thinking in his mind, he walked to the mercenary union branch on Leather Street.
He comes every day to check the information.
The World of Warcraft forest is full of dangers, and there are countless top-level Warcraft and unknown dangers.
The leader of the ninth-level Dragon Rebel Army, Griffith, had said that he had suffered severe injuries and returned home. Ji Xun, a sixth-level man, was not so arrogant as to think that he could walk alone in that dangerous forest.
Especially the area that the legend pointed to was an exploration area that required a large team to survive.
So Ji Xun also wants to find a suitable mercenary group for himself to go to the Warcraft Forest together.
"Exploring the 'Hidden Gem Cave', the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group recruits card masters of level 4 and above."
"'The Three-Headed Poisonous Dragon Cave', the Wind Demon Mercenary Group recruits fire professions Related high-level card masters, detoxification pharmacists, and plague warlocks. Warcraft materials are distributed according to work, and contracts are adopted."
"The 'Mysterious Balrog Channel' hunts the seventh-level Balrog, and comes to the sixth-level and above black demons. Knight, priest, pharmacist who is proficient in making fire resistance-related potions."
「.」
Ji Xun checked the recruitment information in the mercenary union.
It is not easy to find a suitable team and a similar destination.
Recruitment of low-level adventure groups is everywhere, but the recruitment of high-level card masters has to be very cautious.
There are many mercenary groups or adventure groups composed of high-level card masters in Djinn City.
But except when downsizing, they rarely recruit unfamiliar teammates and are very cautious.
After all, in the dangerous World of Warcraft Forest, teammates who are familiar with each other tacitly are even related to their own lives.
Just like the team before Ji Xun's clone, if they really work together and have a tacit understanding, a team can exert several times its combat power.
Although Ji Xun was strong enough, he didn’t want to cause trouble for his future adventures, so he watched very carefully.
Information from various sources such as those in the tavern, intelligence dealers, trade union reputation, private observations, etc., but I am paying attention to a few medium-sized mercenary groups.
But I don't particularly like them.
Ji Xun needs a strong enough team to dare to go deep into the ruins.
But that kind of team usually does not recruit outsiders.
Although he is not proficient in healing, his knowledge can be considered as a qualified nanny. It is not too difficult to find a team with this career sequence.
I was thinking about watching for a few more days. If nothing suitable is found, I would just randomly find a team on the list and contact them.
However, at this moment, several mercenaries suddenly walked into the noisy mercenary union. They walked to the bulletin board and checked the information
Originally, this was not surprising.
The union has more than 100,000 visitors every day, including many high-level mercenaries.
But Ji Xun didn’t know why he felt familiar, so he looked over.
It was at this glance that he felt that some of those people looked strangely familiar, so he took another look.
"Isn't this the revolutionary army cadre "Broken Gun" Anlos? "
If Ji Xun read it correctly, the lazy-looking guy, although there are some differences from the memory, is not the Anlos that Hong Lou met once last time?
Look When he saw this person, Ji Xun thought he had made a mistake.
But after taking a closer look at the people around him, he was sure that he was right!
"The Deadly Poison Doctor" Bonnie, "Holy Hammer" Sam, "Demolitionist" Lawson, "Demon Sword" Chen Jian Liuwu.
Aren't these all cadres and core members of the Eastern Wasteland Revolutionary Army?
"Why did these guys come to the Southern Continent?"
Ji Xun just had this idea in his mind, and his eyes instinctively looked at the leader of the group, who was wearing armor and carrying a backpack almost as long as his body. The leader of the Great Sword.
The armor fits well and is obviously a women's armor.
Although there was a cold steel mask covering his face, the familiar feeling came over him, and he recognized it at a glance, and said in surprise: "Aunt Qin?"
Ji Xun didn't expect that he would meet Qin Rushi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, here!
Perhaps because he looked at her for a moment longer, the female leader with the big sword on her back noticed that someone was paying attention and glanced slightly from the corner of her eye.
The moment their eyes touched, Qin Rushi also recognized Ji Xun, and the caution in his eyes instantly turned into a soft smile.
She is one of the few people who knows that Ji Xun is in Jiling City.
Originally, I wanted to come to the Hunter Guild to send a message saying that I was here.
Unexpectedly, we met directly by such a coincidence.
