Chapter 488 The Black Coffin of Archbishop Xu, Old Man
William walked over, leaned on the bar in a casual yet gentlemanly manner, and threw a gold coin coolly: "Two glasses of gold."
The money given far exceeds the price of the wine itself, and more is the tip for the bartender and the cost of jumping in line.
This is the way noble buddies often show off their wealth and grace.
The bartender took the money and quickly served two glasses of wine enthusiastically.
William gestured and gave Qin Rushi a drink.
Then he raised his glass and asked in a tone as if he was an acquaintance: "Oh, Commander Qin, we are so destined that we have met again."
Qin Ruzhi had wine in his hand. , she didn’t touch the glass of ginlim, raised her own glass, and responded politely: “Yes.”
Because she wanted to drink, she didn’t wear a helmet either.
Her hair was tied up casually, and she only wore a soft burlap waistcoat around her neck, covering most of her face.
Even so, as long as you look closely, there is still an unconcealable surprise in that cold face.
William looked at him with a strange look in his eyes, with a smile on his face that he thought was a gentleman. There was nothing to talk about, so he took the initiative to provoke: "Ah, the Warcraft Forest is not very safe recently. Now is not a good time to go hunting. In that secret realm over there, many high-level Warcraft Captain Qin escaped for some reason. Did your journey go well?"
Qin Ruzhi had no interest in chatting with strangers, so he just responded: "Yes."
William looked at this situation and was not annoyed. , continued: "I heard that Commander Qin is from Mona County in the north of the Red Dragon Kingdom? I once went there with the commander to participate in the battle, and I also met the lord Earl Barney once. Oh, Clemington The blackberry wine is the best fruit wine I have ever tasted."
Ji Xun, who was right next to Qin Rushi, heard this and had an imperceptible chuckle in his eyes.
It sounds like a very normal pick-up line.
If you chat with the woman about her hometown, you can always find some common topics.
But actually this is a test.
It’s okay if it’s a real identity, but if it’s a disguised identity, it will be difficult to continue the conversation.
This guy is very smart.
However, before William could see anything, Qin Ru showed a hint of interest and said the longest sentence since they met: "Earl Barney passed away the year before last, and now his son Barney Jr. Inherit the title. Clemington was also destroyed in the war, and now the fruit wine there is almost extinct. I haven’t had it for a long time.”
Since Ji Xun had thought of this flaw, he would have already thought of it. I just told Qin Ru about some customs and customs of disguising my identity.
After hearing this, William no longer doubted anything.
The strange color in his eyes completely disappeared, and he said calmly: "Oh. That's a pity. I haven't been to the north for a long time, and I don't know about it at all. It's rare to meet by chance. If I have the honor, I I would like to invite Captain Qin to have dinner. My team hunted a very precious white deer before."
Qin Rushi: "I'm sorry. I'm a little tired when I first came to the camp. I may take a rest for a while."< br>
William: "Oh, I was rude."
I have to say that William is quite good at chatting.
In such an awkward atmosphere, we had to chat for a long time.
Ji Xun and Bonnie were standing aside and had no intention of giving up their seats so that they could be alone, which made the young man even more embarrassed.
After all, we couldn’t continue chatting, so after saying “see you next time”, William wisely left.
Once the people left, the atmosphere among the three returned to normal.
Boni muttered: "What an annoying guy."
As she said that, she raised her glass, looked at Ji Xun jokingly and asked: "Ji Xun, do you think so? ?”
We have become familiar with each other these days.
Of course Ji Xun knew what she was teasing, and he commented as if it was serious: "Yeah. Indeed."
Qin Ru could tell that both of them were making fun of her, so she rolled her eyes at them and asked, "What do you see?"
Boni shrugged her shoulders, and then said: " That guy has my scent mark on him, so he must have been to the temple in Blackwater Swamp."
Bonnie, the chief poison master's ability is not only about fighting, but also has many unique secret techniques.
They had suspected that they would be targeted before, so the temple had some means in place.
Unexpectedly, by such a coincidence, this William has been there.
Coincidences are not that common for high-level card masters. Even if they are, they are premeditated.
They can basically confirm that the Great Sword Group may have been noticed.
However, Ji Xun and Qin Ru's expressions are not surprising. It is normal for a group of strong independents like them to be noticed during this sensitive period.
But the sense of crisis has also come.
Bonnie looked slightly solemn.
Qin Rushi glanced at Ji Xun again and asked, "What do you think?"
"It's not a big problem."
Ji Xun knew that she wanted to ask about the risks of staying.
He pondered for a moment and gave an answer that surprised both Qin Rushi and Bonnie: "And I think that guy's identity may not be from the Holy See. He is not a vampire, so Probably someone from the Holy See of Light."
"Huh?"
This thought was so out of the ordinary that Bonnie had no idea why he would think of this.
But the facts of these days proved that what Ji Xun said must be reliable, and she was even more curious: "How did you tell?"
Qin Rushi also expressed curiosity gaze.
"Guess."
Ji Xun smiled and said: "That guy must have suspected the identity of the Great Sword Group before. After all, identity can be disguised, but temperament cannot. If he is really a loyal holy believer, then seeing us appear in a special place like Firefly Camp, it may not be him, but someone from the Holy See, so I think there may be something wrong with that guy's identity."
There is a sense of righteousness in the revolutionary army, which is completely different from other mercenaries who are paid to do things.
Although it is not a flaw, it is enough to cause suspicion.
Ji Xun added: "But it's not a big problem. I didn't suspect that he was exposed before, let alone now. Besides, the suspicion should be completely dispelled by now."
And the vampire It’s different. The pagans of the Illuminati Sect are also dragon-born, but they believe in different gods. They are more hidden.
Since Princess Sophia of the Red Dragon Kingdom could be a heretic before, so was the vice president of the Royal Academy. It is not surprising that a mercenary group like the "King Knights" with a royal background of the Red Dragon has Illuminati cultists.
Ji Xun was certain that there must be a mixture of forces from all sides in the current Firefly camp.
"That's it."
Bonnie thought it made sense when she heard it, but then asked: "Ah, is it possible that it was because of the group leader? That guy shielded me because of his lust."< br>
"Yes. But for high-level card masters, it is unlikely that this desire will defeat reason. Moreover, to achieve the goal, there are better choices."
Ji Xun In the most understated tone, he told an insidious plan, saying: "If I were in his position, the smarter way would be to notify the Holy See as soon as possible that suspicious persons are found, and then wait for the Great Sword Group to be arrested and interrogated. If there is any It's a great achievement. If there is no problem, you can use your identity to vouch for it and gain the favor of the whole group. This is much more straightforward than inviting someone to dinner."
"."
Qin Ru was slightly surprised when he heard the plan.
At this moment, she realized how far Ji Xun was thinking.
Bonnie only felt scared, as if someone had secretly pointed a gun at the back of her head for a while, and a chill ran down her spine.
She thought of something and asked quickly: "Is it possible that he will inform the Vatican people when he goes out soon?"
Coming to this mercenary camp was considered a risky move by many revolutionary army cadres.
But because they believed in Ji Xun and Qin Rushi’s judgment, they came.
Looking at it now, it is indeed dangerous.
"No."
Ji Xun said with a firm tone: "Now that he has shown his face, if he turns around and we are caught, we will definitely suspect that he has something to do with him. Then the plan will fall apart. It’s meaningless.”
Qin Rushi had long understood his train of thought and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Bonnie rolled her eyes and was stunned for a moment. Then she figured out the insidiousness of the plan that Ji Xun just mentioned casually. She was surprised and said: "Ah Ji Xun, I just realized that if you do something bad, others will be afraid of you." I've obviously been tricked, but I still have to thank you."
Ji Xun smiled and said, "It's not that magical. You'll know if you read more."
Bonnie believed it and said in surprise: "You still read romance novels?"
Ji Xun didn't blush and said decisively: "Look!"
Qin Ru smiled and said nothing.
The three of them had a drink in the tavern and had a general understanding of the situation in the camp.
The "Dead Zone" is still in the development stage. The Holy Holy See and the three kingdoms have invested a lot of personnel, financial and material resources, and the progress is still slow.
Firefly Camp has a large number of new adventurers and official legions arriving every day.
There were so many new faces in the camp, like the Great Sword Group, that they no longer attracted attention in the blink of an eye.
The Great Sword Group has also been active in the forest for more than two months. It must be said that after drinking some wine, they felt happy both physically and mentally.
The news was pretty much the same. Ji Xun planned to rest for one night and come back tomorrow to check on the situation.
The situation in the Dead Zone is complicated, and no good opportunities have been found yet.
Just wait patiently.
Ji Xun, Qin Rushi and Bonnie walked down the street smelling slightly of alcohol and started wandering around.
This kind of adventurer camp must have a street market.
The Firefly Camp is no surprise either.
There are people from the Chamber of Commerce here who are cleaning goods at any time, and mercenaries and adventurers will sell some items that are inconvenient to carry on the street stalls and pack them back lightly.
The three of them plan to go and have a look.
Ji Xun is also used to looking for clues at the Adventurer Market.
The relics unearthed from the forest do not lie, they reveal more accurate information.
The market is also very crowded, just behind the pub street.
The adventurers just laid a piece of rag on the ground and put things on it, and it became a stall.
The goods are also very miscellaneous, including World of Warcraft materials with a bloody smell, antiques with an earthy smell, various gems, ores, herbs, beast eggs, and Warcraft cubs.
What? All.
What others buy is the goods.
However, in Ji Xun's eyes, what he saw was not just items, but also causal connections.
Like the roots of plants and trees, they are often hidden underground where they cannot be seen.
Ji Xun looked at the goods, and when he heard the stall owners bragging about the origin of the goods, he could immediately analyze in his mind roughly where they were produced.
Once countless fragments of information were gathered together, a gradually complete intelligence network was created.
This is an ability he has developed in the Giant Spirit City in the past few months, and he is already familiar with it.
The three of them walked along, looking around and buying some on the way.
Are there really good things on these street stalls, or are they first-hand goods? Many adventurers do not have the ability to identify some rare treasures, so the chance of missing them is very high.
Ji Xun saw many ancient relics that were obviously very valuable and were being sold at a street stall price.
As a polymath, he picked up and bought a lot of things along the way.
Qin Rushi was in a good mood and wandered along.
However, Ji Xun thought that the biggest harvest tonight would be the missed goods, but unexpectedly, he suddenly heard a familiar voice among the noisy sound.
“Let me tell you, for those who know the most about this forest, I would say the second one. No one dares to say the first place: the Fluorescent Forest, the Burial Mountain, the Moon Stream Valley, the Devil’s Life Cave, and hell. I know everything about the dangerous volcanoes. What? It’s not on the map? That’s totally normal. You know, I have exclusive top-secret information. It’s definitely a huge profit for me to hire this guide. "
"Hey, don't believe it. No one has ever known the eighth-level [Netherworld Peacock] that appeared recently, right? I know it. It's a pure-blooded hell type, and it's said to be a subordinate of the Hell Demon King! A powerful general who can destroy all magic with one hand. The key is that after transforming into a beautiful woman, there is something to be said for her beauty."
"Old man Xu, have you really seen the same thing before?"
"Why haven't you seen it? I once saw a [Dark Peacock] in the transformation stage. My dear, that beauty is truly A bone scraper can make people blind."
"Just brag. It sounds like it's true, hahahaha"
"But then again , although this old man boasted a lot and was a bit timid, he really brought us here smoothly."
"."
Ji Xun listened to the voice and turned his head to look.
Not far behind you is a small adventure group wandering in the market.
Looks like they just arrived at the camp.
The equipment is poor, the ranks are uneven, the group emblem is not recognized, and the professional configuration seems to be improvised.
Ji Xun only glanced at it and knew that it was not good. Adventure group.
Only this kind of adventure group dares to hire unreliable guides at low prices.
Ji Xun, on the other hand, didn’t think anything of the adventure group or anything like that.
He has seen too many people who dream of getting rich and are ready to break into the Warcraft Forest without any strength.
However, Ji Xun's eyes twitched sharply when he looked at the old man with his front teeth open and spitting.
Who is this old man Xu?
It seems that this guy has assumed a new identity as an "adventure guide".
Qin Rushi also noticed the change in Ji Xun's expression and said alertly: "What's wrong?"
Throughout the journey, she had never seen Ji Xun show such a strange expression.
Following his gaze, Qin Rushi also saw Old Man Xu and frowned.
Ji Xun watched the old man who was so boastful walking over not far away, his deep pupils shimmering faintly, and suddenly he felt an inexplicable excitement coming over his heart, and he said: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, This person appears here, and this is a big deal."
Others thought the old man was bragging.
But only he knows,
What Old Man Xu is blowing may be that guy’s true experience.
The last time I saw him was near the ruins of Behemoth Imperial City in the Old World. The old man disappeared inexplicably.
Ji Xun didn’t expect to meet him again here.
But then the surprise on his expression dissipated.
That’s right.
Such a big scene here in the Dead Zone.
If this person didn’t come, I would feel that something was missing.
Qin Rushi is not familiar with Old Man Xu, but he also knows about his existence.
Hearing Ji Xun's words just now, she looked puzzled.
Ji Xun didn't explain much, just said: "Let's go back first and explain to you slowly. This time the plan may have changed."
I can't explain it in a few words. ,
But every time he meets Old Man Xu, no matter what happens, many people will die in the end.
Ji Xun did not choose to say hello to Old Man Xu.
One is because he is implicated in the members of the Great Sword Regiment.
Also, he felt that if he was still interested in the Dead Realm, he would encounter it again sooner or later.
So don’t be in a hurry.
Obviously he just saw a friend, but Ji Xun's mind seemed to be filled with a huge amount of information, and it suddenly became complicated.
He planned to go back to collect his thoughts.
Ji Xun's original plan was that everyone in the Great Sword Regiment would rest in the camp for a few days, then check the situation and decide whether to continue exploring deep into the Dead Zone.
But the next day, except for Qin Rushi and a few sixth-level cadres of the revolutionary army, everyone else left the camp early in the morning.
After Ji Xun and Qin Rushi discussed it, the team planned to move in two groups.
One group is their high-level combat force, and they continue to check the situation in the camp and wait for opportunities;
The other group is the backbone of the fourth and fifth levels, so they go back and go to other places in the forest. Hunting monsters locally, and making preparations later.
Although their rank is a little lower, their team strength is still very strong.
With the route planned by Ji Xun, the risk is not too great.
At least the risk is much smaller than staying in the camp.
For Ji Xun, the appearance of Old Man Xu is a sign of risk assessment.
Ji Xun didn’t know what would happen, but he was extremely sure that the Dead Zone would be very dangerous in the future.
In order to avoid cause and effect as much as possible, he did not give a detailed explanation to the members of the Great Sword Group about Old Man Xu. He only talked about his "intuition".
This reason is far-fetched no matter who you tell it to.
But all the people in the Great Sword Regiment, including Qin Rushi, had no doubts about his judgment.
He said there was danger, and everyone left without hesitation.
Most of the people in the Great Sword Group were gone, and Ji Xun suddenly felt relaxed.
Both Qin Rushi and the cadres have experienced countless fierce battles of life and death, and they have long been aware of facing death.
As for the remaining people, Ji Xun has no worries at all.
Life in the camp is very leisurely.
After parting ways with their teammates, Ji Xun, Qin Rushi and Bonnie wandered around the camp to get information.
There are pubs and restaurants in the camp.
Although the price is a bit expensive, fortunately the ingredients are very fresh, and they are all rare monster meat.
Noon.
Next to the window on the second floor of the restaurant, Ji Xun and others ordered a table of delicious food and were eating happily.
However, while eating, the noisy streets suddenly became silent.
Ji Xun immediately realized something and stuck his head out of the window.
Just watching a knight riding an earth dragon and covered in silver armor slowly enter the camp from the outside.
The queue is so long that you can’t see the end at a glance.
It is estimated that there are hundreds of knights alone.
On the street, the crowds stood on both sides, silently, respectfully welcoming the team entering the city.
"The Holy Dragon Knight clears the way. A big shot from the Holy See is coming."
"Look at this scene, at least he is a high-ranking priest at the level of archbishop."
"Hey, it's really lively. Why is there an archbishop in this damn place?"
"."
Other adventurers in the restaurant also started talking about it.
It’s not surprising that Ji Xun and the others are aware of the situation in the Dead Realm, so it’s not surprising that the Holy See would send top experts.
The team walked on the street for a long time, and then Ji Xun saw the white-bearded old man in the team sitting in a gorgeous jewelry carriage from a distance.
Wearing a gorgeous bright red bishop's robe, the crown and shoes are inlaid with various gorgeous gems, and the details are full of luxury.
Ji Xun looked at the attire, glanced at it and then abdicated his gaze.
Those who can criticize such bishops in red robes are all powerful figures in the Holy See.
Not the ninth level, at least the eighth level.
For such a master, any malicious peek will be noticed.
Ji Xun has seen one before.
The one who was killed by Griffith, the leader of the Dragon Rebel Army.
Originally, Ji Xun was not surprised that such a strong man came.
However, as the team walked, he saw that the animal carts in the team were actually pulling a lot of cargo.
This made Ji Xun immediately suspicious: "Huh?"
The Archbishop's travel arrangements were indeed like this, but that was all in the city. This was deep in the Warcraft Forest, why were you dragging so many things?
The Holy Holy See has collected most of the top treasures in the entire southern continent, and there is no shortage of treasures to contain.
Logically speaking, if you want to bring supplies, you don’t need to use an animal cart to pull them.
Ji Xun was confused and deliberately observed the mud marks on the wheels.
He immediately judged that he had definitely traveled a long distance and was not just showing off at the door.
In other words, there are some large objects in the convoy that cannot be contained.
“So, this red archbishop is actually here to escort the items in the team?”
Ji Xun immediately came to a conclusion in his mind.
It is not surprising that the Holy See has brought experts. What he is curious about is, what exactly has been brought here that is worthy of such a big battle?
The animal carts pulling goods were all wrapped in luxurious blankets. There were more than a dozen carts in total, and nothing could be seen from the outside.
Ji Xun didn’t see any tricks either.
However, Ivan didn't know what he noticed. Ivan, who was secretly eating food in his pocket, suddenly looked stunned.
Ji Xun and the little loli looked at each other, and looking at the crystal excited pupils, he immediately guessed what was being pulled on the beast cart.
A coffin!
When Griffith discovered Ivan, this little loli was lying in the mysterious coffin with high-level space laws!
