Cataclysm King

"Did you find any important clues?"

Seri said he was asking David, but in fact everyone was looking at Ji Xun.

Everyone in the Langdon Team 16 knows that this teammate "Su Lun" always has some unique ideas to solve difficulties.

In this space exploration mode, wisdom is often more important than force.

The wise eyes of the [Eruditionist] would have discovered those hidden clues more easily than others.

David didn't know how to explain the series of things that just happened, and he couldn't hold back even a single word.

Ji Xun looked at the expectant eyes of his teammates and had no intention of hiding it. He said in a relaxed tone: "Yes. A hidden plot has been triggered."

Hidden plot?

With this opening, the expressions of the four people in Seri all showed a strange look.

You know, just now they and another team were knocking on doors in the village looking for plot tasks.

It does trigger several C and D-level side plots such as "hunting monsters", "cutting down trees" and "looking for medicinal herbs".

But that is something that only ordinary trial students would bother to do.

I can't look down on an elite team like them.

But now?

Just when they thought that the best tasks were monopolized by those from Duke Simon's family, the two people here unexpectedly discovered the hidden tasks quietly?

It was as if the knives had been sharpened long ago, and when they found a suitable prey, the eyes of the four people suddenly appeared with strong anticipation.

All four of them knew what the hidden mission meant.

That means super generous rewards and super high trial rankings.

Seri quickly asked again: "What's the difficulty level?"

"We don't know yet. But it should be B-level or above."

Ji Xun pondered for a moment, then added: "Well, the probability is higher."

He didn't say he was too dead either.

Because the S-level plot is not that easy to trigger.

This plot is currently just a preparatory task, and there are many areas that need to be explored in depth, so there is nothing bad to say.

And, this is team mode.

With Ji Xun's avatar's strength, it's impossible to pass the A-level plot. If something unexpected happened to the guy behind the scenes, his teammates would still be very powerful helpers.

"B-level hidden plot? Hiss. Then maybe the rewards will be as good as those of the A-level main plot."

"Hahaha, those guys from the Simon family probably never expected that there is a hidden plot in the village, right?"

"Su Lun, did you discover something before and suggested that everyone stay in the village? Do you need us to do anything?"

"."

It was the first time for the four of them to explore an extradimensional space, and they had not yet realized the true meaning of Ji Xun's "higher difficulty".

All they see is excitement and anticipation of a difficult task.

Of course, they also know that all this is because of "Su Lun".

However, before everyone could talk more, a sudden enlightenment interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"Congratulations to the Thirteenth Team of the Red Dragon Royal Family for successfully killing Viper Bogg, the deputy leader of the 'Red Smoke Gun Bandit Group'. The key plot leader will receive an additional bonus of +20% for the first kill."

"B-level plot trigger: Bandit's revenge. Bandit deputy leader Boge was killed. The actions of the bounty hunters angered the vicious bandits, who will launch retaliatory attacks on nearby villages. Mission change, you need Survive in space for three days. In survival mode, you will be rewarded with an additional +10%, and you can get corresponding points by killing bandits."

This is a collective drama.

Everyone received enlightenment at the same time.

Gang Duoduo muttered: "What's going on? Those guys from the Red Dragon Royal Family are moving so fast?"

While they were still looking for clues, someone had already killed the commander-level plot target.

Seri seemed to understand something, and guessed: "Princess Sophia of the Red Dragon Royal Family sent a rally signal before, and she probably encountered a strong enemy. Now, looking at it, she should have killed the bandit deputy leader."

Hearing this, Gang Duoduo had only envy in his eyes: "Ah, attacking the deputy leader of the bandit must be at least a B-level plot. Those guys from the Red Dragon Royal Family are so lucky. They met the bandit leader as soon as they entered. We are still in the village."

In fact, they also encountered it.

But the vampire ran away.

Those who can complete B-level plot missions are already considered "elite" in previous assessment trials.

Not just him, everyone in the team felt this way.

They haven't realized the seriousness of the matter.

However, a flash of thought quietly flashed through Ji Xun's eyes, and he thought to himself: "Is it true?"

In the eyes of others, this is an ordinary encounter mission, but in fact, the D-level kill mission has become a B-level survival mode, which is more like a "space locking" behavior.

The person behind the scenes will not let the trial students get out so easily before they achieve their goal.

When Ji Xun thought of this, he glanced at the owl parked near the arrow tower at the entrance of the village. He was also wondering in his heart: "Did you use the instructor's authority of the academy to do it? From this point of view, the status of the troublemaker in the Royal Academy I'm afraid it's very high."

Can control the trial difficulty of [Babel Tower], trigger specific spaces, and select specific teams. This is at least the authority of those at the deputy dean level.

This is not just for money.

But the real top leaders of the college.

"It's strange. What is the purpose of such a big shot?"

When Young Master Sak was assassinated, Ji Xun actually knew that there was a problem within the academy.

But I have never figured it out. Doesn’t this Royal Academy serve the Holy See? How could there be a mole?

Could it be that in addition to the Dragon Rebel Army, there are other opposing forces in the southern continent?

The difficulty of the plot suddenly increased. For the weak, it was a dilemma that could lead to death.

But for the strong team, the B-level difficulty was just enough to practice.

Not long after Enlightenment appeared, Young Master Sack sent someone to call Ji Xun's team to discuss tactical arrangements.

A few minutes later, in a small house.

Young Master Sack sat on a chair and listened to everyone report the results of the exploration.

"We triggered a C-level task in the blacksmith shop and need to find some special ores in the forest."

"Master, we just triggered a side quest that can be shared, investigating footprints in the dense forest behind the mountain."

"There is also a D-level task, hunting Warcraft wild boars"

"."

It must be said that although no valuable plots were found, various fancy side quests were found in bits and pieces.

Ji Xun listened to it with a bit of laughter and tears.

The combat effectiveness of these guards of the Landon family is considered outstanding among the same level, but when it comes to exploring the plot, it is really... a group of lame.

They just knocked on the door, asked, and triggered.

This most crude way of exploring the plot, of course, could not dig out any valuable plot.

The spatial will encourages adventurers to explore, not fool-proof exploration.

Listening to the reports from others, Ji Xun suddenly thought of his past self.

At that time, when he saw the mushroom-headed Jia Yu's ability to control everything, wasn't he also so amazed?

After coming to his senses, now that his realm is high, he realized that his super-active thinking ability, which he had long been accustomed to, has exceeded ordinary people by far.

The truth of the world has always been there, and from a logical point of view, there is nothing hidden.

It's just that ordinary people "can't see" it.

Ji Xun suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

He felt more and more clearly where the gap between "personality" and "demigod" was.

Just thinking.

Young Master Sak also noticed that everyone in Team 16 had a flashing look in their eyes, and they almost wrote the words "We have something to say" on their faces.

Young Master Sak noticed this, and with a hint of expectation, he asked, "Seri, did your 16th team find anything?"

Seri did not take credit for it, he said bluntly, "Su Lun and David had triggered a 'hidden mission' of unknown difficulty before."

Hidden mission!

As soon as this was said, everyone, including Young Master Sak, was surprised, and then they were happy.

Ji Xun took out the cloth bag he got from the herb shop.

His explanation was not as detailed as before with David, he just said a few simple words.

Everyone thought that Ji Xun and the others had hit a lucky streak and happened to trigger the hidden plot.

But they didn't really care about the triggering process.

What they really cared about was what the hidden mission was!

When they opened the cloth bag, they found an old monster skin booklet inside.

However, when these mission props were taken out, it was like pouring a basin of cold water, and everyone frowned.

Because the texts in this book were all unfamiliar ancient characters.

"Seri, can you understand what's written on it?"

"Sorry, young master. This is an ancient text from the Alterac period. The academy hasn't deciphered much yet, so I can't understand it either."

"."

The air froze for a few breaths.

I thought it was a key mission item, but it seems to have no effect.

And enlightenment shows that this is still a plot item that cannot be taken out of the trial space.

The normal way to deal with it is to throw it away.

If you want the extra reward from the Academy of Archaeology, you can try to copy a copy and take it out.

But Young Master Sak definitely doesn't care about that little academy reward.

What he cares more about is, what does this have to do with the hidden mission?

Seri of the Lizard Tribe doesn't know this kind of ancient text, let alone others.

But at this moment, Seri set his sights on his teammate Ji Xun.

Sak also knew that among his reserve knights, this "Su Lun" was the only card master in the polymath sequence.

He asked with the last glimmer of hope: "Can you decipher the content of these ancient texts?"

But unexpectedly, Ji Xun showed a regretful expression: "Sorry, young master, I don't know it either."

He was telling the truth.

He had indeed read many incomplete documents of the Alterac civilization in the library before.

But the ancient text experts of the academy had not deciphered them, and he was not so powerful that he could understand them.

Now he had encountered a complete book in the other dimension, and he could indeed decipher it with some time.

However, the book was full of professional magic terms, and it was estimated that it would take at least several days to decipher it.

As soon as Ji Xun said this, everyone could not hide their disappointment.

It seemed to announce that this hidden plot had reached a dead end.

However, only David on the side was full of doubts.

He couldn't understand why the things that Ji Xun had spent so much effort to get were completely useless?

However, before everyone's disappointed eyes appeared on their faces, Ji Xun said directly: "That. In fact, you don't need to understand it. The things recorded in this book can also be used."

"???"

As soon as these words came out, the room was strangely quiet for a moment.

Eleven pairs of eyes looked over and stared at Ji Xun's face, and then the hope that had just been extinguished burned again.

Ji Xun had encountered this situation many times before when exploring different dimensions.

Those ancient characters of civilizations that were cut off from the past are a test of spatial will.

This is a kind of screening.

Only those who can understand it are eligible to get plot help in the text.

In the field of low-level card masters, if you can understand it, there is only one in ten thousand.

But even though he couldn't understand, Ji Xun's current thinking ability and knowledge had other methods.

Although others have strong curiosity in their hearts, they cannot speak out.

Young Master Sack asked directly: "How do you mean to use it?"

Ji Xun didn't do any ink, he opened the classics directly, pointed to the content with patterns on it and said: "When I chatted with the plot character before, she told me some contents in the classics. Just like this, This is a magic rune. Like a spell, it is a spell cast using elements."

"Although magic and spells are different in appearance, the elements they point to are the same. If I guessed correctly, this magic pattern points to the 'light element'. Judging from the pattern above, this is a kind of auxiliary magic. .”

"And this is magic. It has the same source as the ancient spells. I happened to have seen it in some ancient books. If you guessed it correctly, this is a 'dispersion spell'. And the Holy See of Light once sent witch doctors I came to the village to dispel the dark power of the abyss rift, so I guessed that this should be a magic used to dispel the fog at night. We don't actually need to understand the principle of this magic, we can just follow the magic pattern engraved in the card. From the looks of it, this is a first-level light magic, it shouldn’t be difficult.”

"This is an enchanting formula, it should be engraved directly."

"And this is a potion formula. I can't understand what's written on it, but judging from the pattern, it should be an exorcism item similar to 'holy water'"

"."

Ji Xun pointed at the classics and talked.

He himself said that he got the information from NPC.

But in reality, most of it is his own knowledge.

In order to obtain these key plot props, he played the role of a deacon of the Illuminati Sect. He couldn't tell the NPC that he couldn't understand the manual for the basic priests of the Holy See, right?

He really didn't know the ancient writings of Alterac.

But with so much accumulation, and with his current super thinking ability, he has actually guessed about seventy-seven or eighty-eight.

Ji Xun tried his best not to stand out too much.

It explains in easy-to-understand language some of the key contents of the classics that can be used at present.

However, some of the ideas that he thought were very simple sounded like "I don't understand, but I'm shocked" to others.

At this moment, the teammates had a deeper understanding of [Polymath].

For the first time, Su Lun, a polymath, shocked everyone, including Young Master Sark, with his knowledge.

Except Seri, who was equally knowledgeable and nodded frequently,

Everyone else was almost in a state of confusion.

In the academy they learn more practical skills.

The people in both teams are elite.

Each of them is proficient in many spells of their own sequence.

But if you ask them what the magic pattern on a certain spell points to, few of them can answer it.

The teammates listened to Ji Xun's story throughout.

They also know that their ears seem to hear a lot of important knowledge.

However, the brain didn't register anything at all.

The others also looked like they were trying to understand Ji Xun's explanation as if they were holding their shit back.

The dwarf Gang Duoduo has nothing to hide, and his bearded face is full of expressions of "who am I", "where am I" and "what did I hear".

At this time, Ji Xun said the last sentence: "I haven't seen the rest yet. But I won't be able to see it in a short time."

The whole room was relieved, feeling like they suddenly woke up after sleepwalking.

I don't know how serious it is.

Although they didn't understand what those complicated magic patterns were pointing to, everyone understood one thing: these things are very important!

Young Master Sack couldn't express how he understood, so he glanced at Seri from the corner of his eye and asked: "Seri, what do you think?"

After all, Ji Xun's previous statements used a lot of uncertain words such as "I guess", "I speculate", "maybe", etc.

Sack also wanted to confirm whether the information was really as important as he thought.

Seri only had admiration in his heart at the moment. He made no secret of his emotion and said: "Well, I think Su Lun is right! This is a very important thing!"

Only those who truly understand what Ji Xun just said can more deeply appreciate the power of that kind of reasoning.

As he spoke, he expressed his opinion: "The above formula, enchantment and dispelling magic are all very valuable, especially in this trial space. This gives us the guarantee to walk in the forest at night. It must also be the key to completing the subsequent hidden plot!”

"real?"

Sak's expression was happy when he heard this.

The two knights who took the wisdom route in the team both agreed with the same statement, so there was hope for the hidden mission.

Seri also followed Ji Xun's thoughts and said: "Yes! Whether it is possible or not, I think we will know just by trying to engrave a few spell cards."

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but try it.

Just like an exam, you may not be able to understand the test paper, but everyone can copy it.

Engraving spell cards is a basic compulsory course at the Royal Academy!

In fact, many of the spell systems are inherited from ancient magic systems.

It's just that the magic with a carrier in the Magic Age is called "Magic Scroll".

The card system has improved many complicated procedures, discarded those magic patterns that point to gods to guide extraordinary power, and created independent and great card spells.

It is of course not possible to copy the engraving completely.

This is not an ordinary "holy light dispel", but should be called "light dispel".

There are magic patterns pointing to the god of light in the magic runes.

There are also some magic patterns that seem to be specially used to restrain certain "special dark energy".

Even with Ji Xun's current cognition, he cannot fully understand the extraordinary power pointed by the spells in some low-level spells.

You don't have to fully understand it, just know how to use it.

The accumulation of knowledge and the wisdom of the ancient card masters are once again of great use at this moment.

Ji Xun and Seri, who is proficient in elemental spells, decided to use the spell system's spell to replace the magic pattern that requires the power of gods.

Then after failing dozens of times, they successfully produced the first [Light Dispel].

When the spell was cast, the holy light illuminated the whole room, and everyone became excited.

"Success!"

"Hahaha, this is different from the general [Dispel] spell. I clearly feel a mysterious light element."

"."

The light illuminated the excited faces, and everyone started to mass produce this kind of card.

Ji Xun was very confident.

This is the "plot item" left by the will of space for adventurers to challenge those high-difficulty hidden plots.

From discovery to improvement, it is very difficult.

But it is not impossible to complete.

This is not a coincidence, but a ray of hope left by the will of space for the trial.

Now that the spell card has been made, there are two other formulas in the classics, one enchantment formula and one holy water formula, which can be tried according to the previous ideas.

Even if they don't have the required materials, they can probably find them in the village.

Ji Xun also glimpsed the follow-up of the hidden plot.

The high-difficulty plot hidden outside the main line must rely on these plot items to deal with some crises.

For example, [Light Dispel] is used to let people walk in the forest at night.

The enchantment formula is to enable people to have the means to kill those unknown monsters in the fog;

As for the holy water, Ji Xun does not know the use for the time being.

But it is right to make some for backup.

In this way, a group of people stayed in the house to tinker with those war preparations.

This is also the reason why Ji Xun shared it.

It is impossible for him to make so many plot items in a short time.

A few hours passed in a flash.

At this time, white special flames lit up on several watchtowers in Yinshan Village.

Everyone knew that it was night.

At this moment, the black fog in the forest outside the village gradually became thicker.

Because the white flames in the village were dispelled, the fog only eroded the area illuminated by the light from a long distance.

The whole Yinshan Village was like an isolated island surrounded by sea water.

It seemed that there were pairs of terrifying eyes in the black fog staring at everyone in the village, and a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere made the young students breathless.

While the Simon family was still paying attention to the white flames on the watchtower in the village, the Langdon family had already produced a large number of spell cards.

In the house, Young Master Sack was in a good mood.

The depression that had been accumulated by Feren taking over the main plot of the village chief completely dissipated at this moment.

But the plot items are available, but they seem to be useless?

The current situation is that there are guns but no prey.

The three items recorded in the classics are all plot items for specific environments. If you don't take the initiative to trigger the hidden plot, it seems that they are completely useless.

It's night now.

Through the window, everyone can see the depressing black fog outside the village.

Since everyone in the village said that there are monsters outside, it takes great wisdom and courage to explore the forest at night.

Even if you have those plot items, what if they are not used in the forest?

It's not certain what monsters there are in the forest. Going out rashly is not a good choice.

Just when everyone was still thinking about how to continue exploring the plot, what no one expected was that Ji Xun stood up again.

He took the initiative to propose a plan that everyone was thinking about but was extremely hesitant, saying: "Master, the fog in the forest outside the village is a 'taboo', and this is probably also a hidden plot. Now we have a spell that can dispel the fog, so I plan to go to the forest to look for clues. By the way, confirm the risks."

When this was said, everyone was surprised: You are a polymath, are you so brave?

Faced with the unknown risks in the forest, everyone showed the due solemnity and thinking.
