Cataclysm King

Just after the Langdon family entered the city, news about the assassination spread like wildfire.

In a cave deep in the Titan Mountains.

There are some sophisticated instruments that are completely out of the Southern Continent’s civilization with their lights on.

An old man with a white beard and fried hair was controlling the slimy octopus tentacles on his back, concentrating on studying something.

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 flashed 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 flickered, and a graceful phantom figure seemed to come through space, accompanied by a lazy and charming murmur: "Oh, this [Spell God Card] is really easy to use. "

Normally, it would cost a lot of money to use a top-level spell like [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 curse card can change the spell release, It’s convenient, but don’t rely too much on it. Otherwise, too strong a foreign object can easily affect your normal practice.”

"Know it."

The red-haired woman responded with a smile, and did not forget to complain: "Obviously she is not very old, but she always sounds like an old grandfather."

The person who came was none other than Irene, the intelligence leader of the Illuminati Monastery, the Fire Archer.

As soon as Irene arrived, she got straight to the point: "Chief, news just came over there that the assassination failed."

Hearing this, Jia Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Failed? How is it possible that even if the young master of the Langdon family has the [Curse God Card], those assassins are enough to complete the assassination."

The tone was a little surprising.

But that's all.

There was more thinking in his eyes.

Eileen also found it incredible. After all, this person's plans never went wrong.

And this time, it was the first time an accident occurred.

Instead of feeling upset because of the failure of the assassination, she looked at the leader's defeat and gloated a little: "It is said that Young Master Sark has some very good prospects in the reserve knights. They held off the assassin, and Sark escaped. ”

She didn't hesitate, paused, and said directly: "It has been confirmed that there is a Katu who knows [Ba Fist] and is very strong."

When Jia Yu heard this, he seemed to understand something: "A disciple of Senior Gong? In this case, it is possible."

"The information I got is that that boy is a slave bought by Duke Langdon's Palace. He has excellent martial arts talent and is most likely a disciple of Gong Wu."

Irene shrugged and added: "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 for a while and asked: "Gone?"

Such words would not be used by a professional intelligence commander who was trying to stop him.

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 failed due to some extreme factors, the card would definitely be obtained. How could it be missing?

This seemed to conflict with the logic of his deduction.

But for a moment I couldn't figure out what went wrong.

"Yes."

Eileen was also obviously confused and said: "The information I just got was confirmed by the contact person at the black market. The thing was not obtained. The answer given there was that the thing may have been left behind on the road. Anyway, it was missing. ”

"Left behind?"

Jia Yu pondered this unfamiliar vocabulary for a moment, smiled and shook his head.

It's normal for ordinary people to lose things.

But for high-level card masters, it is absolutely impossible to lose such vocabulary.

Eileen obviously thought so too. 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 on to the [Curse God Card]."

After hearing this, Jia Yu pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "No. I have seen those guys before, and they are not that stupid. This is more like an accident."

There was a hint of weirdness 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 murmured a sentence that his teacher once left for him.

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's just gone."

"."

Irene rolled her eyes at him, obviously this explanation did not convince her, and muttered: "It must have been taken."

Hearing this, Jia Yu shrugged noncommittally and said: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, that [Curse God Card] will eventually appear, and then we will know who took it. It seems that it should be taken by some master who accidentally appeared." Come on, it’s interesting.”

There was no way anyone was meddling in his plan and he was completely unaware of it.

The only explanation is that this was an accident rather than premeditated.

To explain it with extraordinary manifestations, this is an extremely low-probability disordered accident of the law of fate.

This cannot be done manually.

Of course Jia Yu wouldn't take it to heart.

He did not dwell on this topic and instead said, "Erin, be careful about the identity you disguise. The Langdon family has begun an investigation. Although all the clues this time pointed to the second wife, Mrs. Camille. . But I guess there may be experts from the Holy See who are secretly involved."

Erin nodded: "Yeah."

Jia Yu added: "As for the thunder dragon blood samples, just find someone else's. Not to mention other things, there are quite a few pure-blood dragon descendants among the students at the Royal Academy every year."

Erin's expression relaxed after hearing this: "Yeah."

Thinking of something, she asked: "But as for Senior Gong Wu, we really don't know how to help? If we delay it any longer, I'm afraid it will be 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 ridicule to his old friend: "Old man Gong came to the Southern Continent and kicked nineteen martial arts dojos. A pure-blood human It would be weird to make such a big fuss and not be targeted. I say, you deserve to be so old this time, and you still act like a young boy and fight fiercely."

The one 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 the masters in order to get a glimpse of the highest realm of martial arts. Senior Gong Wu's belief in martial arts and His will is indestructible, so don’t worry, he won’t die for the time being. Besides, from the glimpse of the law of fate, it’s not necessarily a bad thing that he is imprisoned now.”

As soon as these words came out, Merlin and Irene said nothing more.

Erin had no intention of staying here any 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, what other materials do you need me to help you find? ?"

Speaking of his research, Merlin's eyes were full of fire and he smiled: "There is enough material. Thanks to the black magic formulas from the Chaos Era that you found, the research has made great progress. Through experiments during this period, I have confirmed that humans' genetic beast transformation can be artificially intervened through pharmaceuticals. As long as the will is strong enough, there is a high probability that bloodline enslavement can be successfully reversed, even for dragons, giants, elves, and other superior mythological races. The sample is just to make the experiment more rigorous.”

As he spoke, he did not forget to sigh: "I have to say that our ancestors have really fantastic ideas. They have long thought about the hidden dangers of bloodline suppression enhanced by alien creatures. The secrets about alien bloodlines are actually hidden in [Spade 4] -Beast Walker】Occupation 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 that the dragons 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 studying was.

It was a potion that allowed people to have animalistic blood without causing human genes to lose dominance.

This means that the era of dragons absolutely enslaving dragonborns by relying on their bloodline is over.

Ji Xun and his teammates followed Young Master Sak into the city.

It seems that there are still ten days left before the Royal Academy starts.

Sack hadn't planned to go 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 rewarded with 10,000 gold coins, but more importantly, they were directly transformed from reserve knights to Sark's close bodyguards.

This means that future extraordinary resources will be biased towards them as much as possible.

Resources come second.

Ji Xun is more concerned about the hidden benefits of this identity.

Being a close guard means being able to follow Sack and have access to the top teaching resources of the Royal Academy that ordinary nobles cannot have access to.

Young Master Sack plans to visit the Adventurer Market in West City first.

Lost the treasure and feeling bad, let's see if we can find some surprises.

After all, those emperor relics were found by adventurers in 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 minor nobles were used to seeing the nobles at various large auctions, but they were more interested in this kind of street market.

Search for treasures at the various street stalls, and occasionally you will find something really good.

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 urban areas.

Not long after, a group of people arrived at Leather Street in the West City in a carriage.

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 own guards.

Most of the guards died in the previous assassination, and 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 cores and the fourth-order light magic cores just brought out from the Warcraft Forest, the last few."

"Adult level 6 Serrated Pterodactyl eggs, six in a litter, perfect companion pets for dragon knights, only 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/piece."

"Selling various World of Warcraft forest maps, 'Dark Forest', 'Silent Valley', 'Mandrake Temple' and 'Western Plaguewood'."

"The rare 'soul gems', a necessary material for high-level enchanting items, there are only the last few left, come and buy them! Also for sale is the '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 people 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 dirt that were obviously dug out from the ground.

Ancient 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 things with writing or engraved with magic lines were all brought out by 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 here, he had heard a lot, such as "Someone bought a random piece of iron and deciphered it and found the top-level magic spell", "Buying a random clay pot is a high-level relic that can seal demons", "Digged out of ancient tombs" A tattered carpet is a magic flying carpet.” “If you buy a humble gooseneck copper lamp and rub it, you can summon the lantern that will grant you three wishes.”

In short, these antiquities are all real.

They were all brought out from the ruins by adventurers.

If you have enough knowledge, you can really pick up the slack.

It was the first time for Ji Xun and the other six people to come to Giant Spirit City.

It was the first time for everyone to see such a large adventurer fair.

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 was very interested in weird things.

Unfortunately, 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 in a few days or nights.

Moreover, a large number of adventurers return from the Warcraft Forest every day, 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 incomprehensible to his eyes.

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 merchants receive goods from adventurers all year round, and they usually have really good things in their hands.

They are just waiting to find 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 in it, 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 saw this kind of writing for the first time and 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 taught me."

Legal professionals are usually knowledgeable, and Seri is also interested in these texts. He added: "It is said that there were some powerful civilizations in the Warcraft Forest before the Talon Dynasty. The Doxian Civilization, the Lordaeron Civilization, the Austrian Civilization The Trunk Ruins Civilization, the Ancient Lodami River Civilization, and many more are supported by relic evidence. As far as I know, there are dozens of civilizations from different eras that span a time period that exceeds our understanding of history. Cognition. Even earlier mythical civilizations before the Age of Chaos.”

"That's it"

Ji Xun's eyes sparkled as he listened.

In comparison, Donghuang is really barren.

Apart from mineral deposits and some extra-dimensional spaces, there is really nothing that can be regarded as a historical relic.

Now just looking at this street stall, Ji Xun feels like a new mysterious world is waving towards him.

Eye-opener.

Natives of the Southern Continent like Seri certainly know more, but are not very interested.

However, he saw that Ji Xun was looking at the antiquities with his eyes, and then 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 academy has special instructors who will come to take rubbings of these relics." collected."

"Um."

Ji Xun nodded.

That's one of the benefits of the academy.

The college provides these ancient literature resources free of charge and is more complete.

After Seri said this, 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.

The other teammates also looked at it with gusto. The items on the surrounding stalls were all new to them, the card disciples.

Gang Duoduo is a dwarf, and he is very interested in those ores;

Gale is an assassin and is interested in those dagger skills;

Tablesha is a priest, so she is particularly interested in those potions and formulas.

Only David had a cold face and 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], but I will suffer a little loss and give you one hundred thousand gold coins!"

"good."

“And these two more”

"Bought them together."

"."

As soon as he heard the price, Ji Xun knew what kind of small vendor this was.

It was obvious that he was a manager from some big trading houses, who came to the market disguised as a vendor and was already waiting for these financial sponsors.

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 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 easy to negotiate."

"."

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: "It's actually this thing?"

Not many people know this thing.

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?
