Cataclysm King

Chapter 429: Assassinating the King

"Mad King" Alduin personally went out of the city to join the battle, and the area outside Behemoth had become a meat-grinding field.

In a battle of this magnitude, even high-level card masters are cannon fodder.

Ji Xun, Chu Jiu and Nan Jing did not dare to delay and rode on the undead bone dragon.

It must be said that the Behemoth of the Taren Dynasty Empire three thousand years ago was truly a masterpiece in the field of architecture.

When the bone dragon flew close to the city wall, Ji Xun and the other two were immediately shocked by the majestic white stone city wall and could not calm down for a long time.

The bone dragon was the spiritual object of the high priest Nan Shenyu, and the guards of the imperial city knew it.

The three of them passed through several barriers unimpeded and entered the capital.

When they came, the army in the city kept pouring out, rushing to reinforce the emperor.

The rebels had already set up their formation outside the city for a long time, and when the two sides encountered each other, the battlefield immediately exploded into a mess.

Ji Xun observed silently.

"Mad King" Alduin was happy to kill, but this accelerated the collapse of the dynasty.

Originally, the rebels would have to pay a hundred times the price to break through the city if they were to defend the city.

However, now that they have given up the city's defense advantage and fought outside the city, every loss of loyal soldiers has accelerated their decline.

Loyalty and tyranny form a strong contrast.

From this point of view, it seems that the collapse of the Taren Dynasty should also be a historical inevitability.

The war became more and more intense, and the legendary "law of war" gradually revealed its traces in Ji Xun's eyes.

After entering the city, the flying dragon directly sent the three people to the inn where the royal court received distinguished guests.

After Nan Jing said "thank you" to the bone dragon, it flapped its wings and flew out of the city again.

After entering the city, it can basically be said that this exploration of the different dimension space is safe.

According to this posture, at least in the timeline of this space, it is impossible to break the city.

The solemnity on the faces of the three people also relaxed at this moment.

Enlightenment also prompted: "Discover the special scene 'Imperial Capital Behemoth', hidden plot exploration +80%"

Looking up, the floating island with rainbows and waterfalls is the palace.

The city looks more shocking than what you see from a distance, solemn and gorgeous, and the majesty and tyranny of the emperor are everywhere.

The city is full of gorgeous and beautiful white buildings, colorful flowers blooming on the flower beds on the corners, pedestrians on the street wearing all kinds of gorgeous costumes, and mechanical airships floating in the sky

This is a city with highly developed machinery and magic.

Everything here represents the peak of civilization of the Taren Dynasty.

Even if the empire's fortune has declined to the extreme, this scene, three thousand years later, no city in the East Wasteland can compare.

If the whole city was not shrouded in the clouds of war, this would be the most beautiful, spectacular and amazing city that Ji Xun had ever seen.

This time node is the last moment of Taren's collapse, and the imperial city Behemoth is filled with human card masters gathered from the entire empire.

The battle outside the city also made the city noisy. People took to the streets one after another, and their faces were full of worries.

The three stood on the roof of the post house and overlooked the large area of ​​the nearby city, thinking.

In Ji Xun's eyes, it seemed as if he had walked into history and saw the glorious civilization of the past.

Although Chujiu, who was standing next to him, had a blank expression on her face, her crystal eyes were trembling with crystal. As a descendant of Augustus, she looked at the end of the glorious empire created by her ancestors, and she also had a different kind of sigh in her heart.

The rise and fall of the dynasty, and then to its demise, made people seem to see a person's life.

Rebirth, thriving growth, then aging in old age, and finally death.

The laws of the universe are easier for people to see in history.

Nan Jing's eyes were full of curiosity, looking around at the prosperous street scene.

The battle outside the city was too far away, and there was a city defense ban to isolate it, so it was impossible to see anything.

It was unknown how long this battle would last.

Waiting was waiting.

Suddenly, Miss Ball Head suggested: "Ji Xun, Sister Chu Jiu, shall we go for a walk in the city?"

When asked, Chu Jiu's slightly dilated pupils focused and nodded.

My thoughts also returned to reality from that inexplicable sadness.

This is what Ji Xun meant.

They entered the city to trigger various hidden plots in the royal city.

After all, this is Behemoth three thousand years ago, the peak era of technological civilization and card master civilization!

As the three of them talked, they went straight out of the post station.

There were control bans everywhere in Behemoth during the war, and the city was full of patrolling machines and armored soldiers.

However, because Ji Xun and the other two were sent by the 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 the battle has reached the most critical moment, and there are no entertainment shops open on the streets.

The ones that are still open are mostly supply shops related to the war.

Machine shops, card shops, and extraordinary material shops.

This is exactly what Ji Xun and the other two need.

The current situation in Behemoth City is somewhat similar to the current situation in the East Wilderness.

Because of the war, all kinds of mechanical equipment, books, spell cards, demon marks, professional cards, etc. that were originally hidden in the treasury of the nobles and the royal family, many good things have flowed into the market.

Although most of the things that can be sold in the shops are not very high-end.

But this was the glorious era of the card master civilization three thousand years ago!

Royal Magic Card Shop, Thunderbird Mysterious Book Shop, Lawrence's Mechanical Workshop, Berens Mechanical Armor Factory Shop.

In the shops on the street, all kinds of silver and black iron quality materials are almost everywhere.

Even in small shops, gold quality cards are not rare.

In Donghuang, any few items on the table are fine products that can only be seen in auction houses.

Looking at Qidi again, these are all things that can be taken out of the other dimension!

In other words, as long as you can get it, you can take it out.

In the city, robbing is not a fantasy.

You can only buy.

Although the prices during the war were ridiculously high, fortunately Ji Xun and the other two were not short of money.

As long as they liked it, they would not be stingy to buy it.

"Ji Xun, look, this is the original version of the legendary [Plague Doctor Encyclopedia Secret Book] that has been lost. Oh my god, it's a complete 29 volumes!"

"Sister Chujiu, that forbidden spell [Ice Dragon Descends] card is very suitable for you~"

"."

Ji Xun and the other two had no demand for cards and materials below gold.

But even so, they found surprises along the way in various shops.

Things are generally very expensive.

But some goods are unusually cheap.

For example, those second-hand textbooks that flowed out of the Card Master Academy!

In the eyes of Ji Xun and the other two, these books that almost recorded the basic knowledge system of the complete card master were just waste paper on the street stalls three thousand years ago.

Ji Xun and the other two walked and bought along the way.

They almost found all the basic professional books of the thirteen paths to the gods and the fifty-two sequences of the card master.

The books are second-hand books, but the knowledge in them is indeed the crystallization of the wisdom of countless ancestors of the Talun Dynasty.

If these second-hand books are taken back to the East Wilderness, even in the current South Continent, they are absolutely priceless.

The three people know the "reward" given by the space will.

Under normal circumstances, adventurers cannot enter the imperial city.

And even if they enter the imperial city through a secret passage, without a reasonable identity, they cannot wander around the city like Ji Xun and the other two.

Even the patrolling soldiers on the streets are still an unmatched danger.

So entering the imperial city itself is a difficult challenge.

Behemoth is very prosperous and there are many shops.

Just on the street where they were, there were dozens of shops of all kinds that could keep people busy for a whole day.

Ji Xun didn't know how long he could shop, so he focused on the mechanical shops.

The card master resources he needed were of extremely high quality and almost impossible to buy.

But the machinery was different!

The overall level of machinery in this era was much ahead of that of three thousand years later.

The obsolete mechanical items in some shops might be the top black technology of the East Wilderness.

As he expected, Ji Xun visited several shops and saw too many eye-catching mechanical products.

The machines that had been tested in war were all practical and functional, and they were good things that could be mass-produced at a low price!

[Bakley Magic Light Blade Military Version 3.0], [Thor Impact Cannon], [Ghost Mysterious Signal Jammer], [Pterosaur Steam Powered Glider], [Invisible Force Field Current Device], [Heavy Earthquake Generator], [Climate Bomb], [Ares Armor 1.5T].

Ji Xun spent a few resources to exchange for a large number of drawings, and even some reference objects and equipment.

With these drawings and objects, they can be mass-produced in a short time in reality!

These things outside may require countless adventurers to explore the other-dimensional space with their lives, but Ji Xun bought them in batches.

Theoretically, if there is enough time, the property carried by Ji Xun and the other two is enough for them to buy the wisdom of half of the Taren civilization!

The harvest from this other-dimensional space will be unimaginably rich!

However, Ji Xun also had a vague feeling that the will of space would never let them buy unlimitedly by using bugs like this.

Sure enough, a small accident occurred not long after.

In the "Green Mechanical Drawing Shop".

The shop selling drawings is now rarely visited by people, only Ji Xun and the other two are shopping in the shop.

The streets are still crowded with people, but they are paying attention to the battle outside the city.

No matter where he is, Ji Xun always stays alert.

He suddenly glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a familiar figure: "Senior Xu?"

Ji Xun did not 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, but the other party also noticed it at the first time and turned his head to look into the shop.

However, at the moment of looking at each other, Ji Xun secretly thought that something was wrong: "No!"

He found that the eyes looking at each other were not the familiar vulgarity, but sharp and wise.

Ji Xun had seen this look before. Was this Old Man Xu's big account online?

And after a closer look, Old Man Xu's clothes were different from when he entered the city.

What's even more strange is that there was a strong man carrying a big sword 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 was the Old Man Xu from three thousand years ago!

Just a glance at each other, the atmosphere instantly became weird.

Chujiu and Nanjing on the side noticed something wrong and looked out together.

Miss Bun-haired looked at him as an acquaintance and greeted him happily: "Senior Xu!"

"."

Ji Xun's eyes twitched for no reason.

He also 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.

And 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 him has distorted the time field.

"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 didn't know him.

Not forgotten.

But just as he guessed, this old man Xu who lived three thousand years ago didn't know 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 his appearance.

Ji Xun only said: "Senior Xu, have you forgotten again? I am Ji Xun."

He wasn't sure how to explain it, and wasn't sure if he was right, so he just hinted.

However, as soon as these words came out, Old Man Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was calculating something.

Turning around, a smile appeared on the suspicious old face, and he suddenly said: "Oh. It turns out I have met you in the future."

"."

As soon as he said this, Ji Xun felt his scalp numb.

It was already amazing that Faro the Light Chaser could recognize that he was in an extradimensional space.

Now Old Man Xu said this again.

This made Ji Xun's brain feel a little awkward for a moment.

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 the ordinary human mind.

When Ji Xun heard this, he didn't know how to answer: "This is you."

It's true that Old Man Xu from three thousand years ago has nothing to do with him.

Moreover, 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.

That’s all, Old Man Xu, he’s always a secret.

But the strong man following him made Ji Xun's heart skip a beat.

The man was very burly, but not uncommon in the imperial city.

And at that moment, Ji Xun caught a glimpse of a silver light flashing under this guy's cloak.

This is armor!

People wearing armor were 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 never forgets anything he sees.

Naturally, he recognized it at a glance. This was the set of the strongest legendary armor [Frederick I's Silver Armor] known as the 'Immovable Fortress' that he had seen at the Shenxu Treasure House before!

Ji Xun accidentally saw 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 because he was wearing this kind of attire.

so.

Ji Xun's eyes twitched inexplicably when he thought of this.

He vaguely sensed that something was not going well.

However, Ji Xun's expression didn't show anything unusual.

But in front of Old Man Xu, who had gone to bed, his thoughts seemed to be completely uncovered.

Old Man Xu looked at Ji Xun's 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 heard a thump.

Because of this sentence, his deduction developed in a direction that would be extremely scary if he thought about it.

At this time, Qidi 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 question, he deduced this possibility.

But Space Will confirms this statement.

The target of the assassination who needs the existence of Old Man Xu can be guessed with his butt.

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 lived for three thousand years, may have played a very important and special role in the Talun Collapse War.

Looking at the big sword on the back of the cloak again, Ji Xun felt his right eyelid twitch 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 falling behind at all. 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 Talun?

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 holy weapon of the four kings' power.

Coincidentally, those who can use this holy sword must have the royal destiny.

And what's even more coincidental is.

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.

What’s more, the cloaked man in front of me is wearing the [Frederick I’s Silver Armor], a set of legendary armor, which is a heroic sequence at eighty percent.

Therefore, 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 assassination target 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 were now considered to be on 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 chance.

Whether it was Ji Xun himself or from the perspective of a friend, he would choose the latter.

Moreover, Ji Xun likes taking risks, but he doesn't like to risk death.

In this S-level plot in an extra-dimensional space, there was a high chance that someone would die at the eighth level, and he didn't 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."

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 of the store without looking back.

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?"

Ji Xun also came back from his thoughts that were interrupted by this question.

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.

Unable to figure it out, in a blink of an eye, they returned their attention to the drawings.

There are too many secrets in this extradimensional space

No, to be precise, there were too many secrets hidden in that period of history.
