Cataclysm King

Time flies by quickly, and a month has passed in a flash.

Because Juling City is close to the Monster Forest and is located at the Hengduan Pass of the Titan Mountains, the elements here are richer than other places in the southern continent.

There are some high-level card masters who settle here for practice all year round, so there are many high-end hotels in the city with spirit gathering magic restrictions.

In the north city, Maple Leaf Hotel is such a high-end hotel with a courtyard.

This day.

The hotel is a small building.

The spirit gathering array makes the elements in the courtyard several times that of the outside world, but the cost is ten times that of an ordinary hotel.

Ji Xun is not short of money, and he is not stingy to spend money on practice. Of course, he will give himself a more suitable practice environment.

The most important thing is that the two elemental elves need an element-rich environment to grow.

In addition, the cheap junior brother has just advanced, and he has been a slave for too long and his body is depleted. He needs to make up for some basics.

In the yard, a dark-skinned boy is trying to control a flying bird in his hand.

Don't let it fly away, and don't crush this bird that is completely condensed by Gangqi.

The seemingly easy movements made the boy sweat profusely.

But he enjoyed it.

The boy was David.

For a month, David had gotten used to the life with Ji Xun, the senior brother who came from nowhere.

He had been poor for more than ten years, and even when he met Gong Wu, he had never lived such a rich life.

Now following this senior brother, not only did he have someone to guide his practice, but he also had no shortage of various foods that enhanced his qi and blood, and medicinal materials for body refining.

It was like a dream.

David's progress in martial arts was also rapid in this month.

Although Gong Wu was at a higher level in martial arts, Ji Xun was obviously more suitable to be a teacher.

He was not only proficient in fighting, but also proficient in almost all the ways of the extraordinary sequence, and he also knew many of the fifty-two magic secrets and various strange forbidden spells.

Even David himself didn't even know how outrageous things he had learned during this period.

After getting along with him, David was just shocked by the erudition of this senior brother countless times.

Although I know that Ji Xun's clone "Su Lun" is a polymath, the entry-level polymath and the legendary great polymath who knows everything are two completely different things.

And my senior brother is really the legendary "real great polymath"!

No matter what doubts you have, as long as you ask, this brother will definitely be able to answer.

Fighting, spells, spirits, mysteries, spells, magic circles, all the knowledge that a card master can access, he knows.

No!

Not understanding.

Enough to be considered proficient.

This made David admire him with all his body.

The longer they get along, the deeper they understand each other, and this admiration and awe not only does not decrease, but becomes stronger and stronger.

Although David has never shown a little arrogance in front of anyone because of his good talent before.

But after all, he is young and energetic.

It is difficult to find an opponent at the same level, so naturally there is some arrogance and conceit in his heart.

Before meeting Ji Xun, he thought he was very powerful.

Even those so-called geniuses who often "bullied" him in the Royal Academy, he felt that if he had enough resources, he would never be worse than them.

But after seeing his senior brother, that arrogance disappeared.

He knew why the teacher said that this senior brother he had never met before was a "monster".

All the geniuses David had seen were eclipsed in front of this senior brother.

This gave the boy a strong goal to admire in his heart, and he practiced harder every day.

In the room, Ji Xun was sitting cross-legged in meditation, and his mind was comprehending the knowledge that his clone had obtained in the Royal Academy.

Although he didn't go to see it, he knew everything in the yard.

David was Gong Wu's disciple. Since he met him, Ji Xun would certainly not sit idly by.

What can be learned at each stage is different.

That guy has such a good talent, Ji Xun can certainly give some pointers.

Teaching didn't take much effort, more of David practiced hard and comprehended himself.

Children from poor families can always cherish this rare opportunity more.

Not only did he practice boxing and comprehend the secrets of martial arts during the day, he also meditated and practiced breathing techniques even when he was sleeping.

You have to know that at his age, he has just started breathing techniques, and sitting all night requires great self-control and concentration.

Ji Xun was very pleased to see him making rapid progress day by day.

Obviously, as long as he does not die prematurely, there will definitely be a martial arts master who will amaze the world in the future.

While meditating, Ji Xun suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked at the [JOKER] card in his hand, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, and he murmured to himself: "It's almost ready to use."

Just like a gun needs a feel, a relic also needs a running-in process before it can be used smoothly.

Not to mention it is a legendary relic.

After getting this curse card for a month, he tried it every day, and now he almost feels that it fits perfectly.

At this time, he took out the [Spade 4] he got from the assassination of Mr. Sack.

The front of this Curse God card has a purple-black vortex pattern, which is the [Void Teleport] spell he engraved.

This allows him to use the Void Teleport almost infinitely.

The ability to save his life has increased greatly.

If it were just two ordinary Curse God cards, it would only be a double surprise.

But obviously, JOKER is not ordinary.

At this moment, Ji Xun's left index finger and middle finger are holding [Spade 4], and his right hand is holding [JOKER].

As the right hand was infused with spell power, a magical scene happened.

In the blink of an eye, the card with the gray clown pattern of [JOKER] slowly turned into a [4 of Spades] exactly the same as the one in the left hand!

A 4 turned into a pair of 4s.

This is the effect of any card.

Yes!

This is the entry-level usage of the [JOKER] card that Ji Xun has roughly figured out in the past month.

It can not only engrave any spell like other spell cards.

It also has a magical function, which is the one in front of you - copy!

Copy all spells!

It feels like a camera recording, which can record any spell that appears within a certain range.

Not only the image, but also the law and spell structure. Completely copied.

In other words, whenever the enemy uses a certain spell in front of Ji Xun, he can copy it with this card.

For Ji Xun, this is a big surprise.

His attainments in the path of [Polynomist] are getting deeper and deeper, and it can be seen that there will be no big problem in the use of various spells in the future.

This Joker card is not normally used, but once it is used, it must be some enemies with strange methods.

At that time, Ji Xun will copy it with one hand and "return the favor with the other hand". Just thinking about it makes me feel that the picture is too beautiful.

Especially copying some magic and forbidden spells of top card masters.

This thing is simply a BUG.

Thinking about it, Ji Xun looked at the two spell cards in his hand, and some thoughts emerged in his mind: "The great emperor Lanlingster had a set of fifty-four spell cards. If fifty-four kinds of magic were engraved, how powerful would he be? But then again, how did the great emperor die when he was so strong? Did he really die in the abyss rift?"

He first heard the legend of the great emperor Lanlingster in the Augustus Imperial Mausoleum in Rune Highlands.

The palace gravekeeper said that the great emperor disappeared in an adventure to explore the abyss rift in the southern continent.

But now it seems that it may not be.

If He fell in the abyss rift, then those cards should appear in the different dimension, not in the forest.

But the fact is that the places where those scattered curse cards appear are mostly distributed in the dangerous cave area of ​​a certain layer of the Warcraft Forest.

This means that the emperor had fought in those places before, and then he left his battle cards here.

In other words, Emperor Lanlingster fell in the southern continent.

But the question is: What existence in the southern continent can kill Him?

It can only be an equal enemy.

Calculating the time node of the emperor's disappearance, it should be the period when the Alterac civilization and the Arel Empire era alternated.

This is very subtle.

In connection with the recent situation of the remnants of the Holy See of Light, Ji Xun deduced some feasibility in his mind.

Perhaps the truth behind the fall of Emperor Lanlingster was still closely related to the Dragon God Arel.

At least he knew.

Thinking about it, his thoughts returned.

Ji Xun looked at his pocket watch, it was already six o'clock.

He got up and prepared to go out.

This time is the busiest time of the Adventurer's Market.

Every day at this time, he would go around the city to see if he could find some ancient relics in the market and ask for some new information.

After leaving the hotel, Ji Xun walked on the street.

The city of Juling City is very large, there is no industrial city, and there are all kinds of fancy beast carts on the streets.

Ji Xun also hired a jumping dragon beast cart and headed towards the West City District.

Juling City is still bustling and prosperous, even more bustling than more than a month ago.

The big change in the Royal Academy seemed to have never happened. No one mentioned it, and even intelligence dealers could not buy any information.

This was also within Ji Xun's expectations.

After all, it involved the heretics of the Light Sect, and such news could not be spread.

The Royal Academy resumed classes the day after the change.

No one was allowed to talk about the defection of Gustav, the vice president of the History and Mystery Academy.

This was a direct order from the Holy See.

The news about the giant hand that broke out of the seal under the [Babel Tower] was also blocked, and it was forbidden to talk about it within the academy. No one knew what kind of creature it was, nor why it was sealed in the academy.

However, the consequence was that without this stable energy supply, the Babel Tower Trial seemed unable to be restarted in a short period of time.

As if nothing had happened, the students still went to school as usual.

It is worth mentioning that although there was an accident in the trial.

But the assessment results are still valid.

The sixteenth team of the Duke of Langdon's Mansion where the clone "Su Lun" was located actually got a good result of third place.

Originally ranked eighth in the total score.

But because six of the top ten teams participated in the Battle of Black Crow Castle and got super high assessment scores.

Especially the team of Princess Sophia of the Red Dragon Royal Family, which was leading by a cliff.

But after investigating the situation, those teams were disqualified, and even the list of students was not erased in the academy.

Ji Xun's team made up for the third place and received another 100,000 credits reward.

It is not a coincidence.

Of course, the academy also investigated Ji Xun's team afterwards.

But among the four people who survived, Gang Duoduo fainted at the end of entering the sealed space, and Seri and the other two knew nothing about the situation.

And David was regarded as a rebellious slave, and there was no way to ask.

Naturally, nothing could be asked from "Su Lun".

Only three people were left from the original team of six, and later Young Master Sak arranged for three more people to join.

But it was not the original team, and there was no tacit understanding anymore.

The team gradually became unknown in the academy.

Ji Xun also felt that it was good, and the clone could continue to practice in the academy more quietly.

Not long after, West City Leather Street.

The street was crowded with people.

As usual, Ji Xun planned to visit the market first.

After hanging around for a few months, he was already familiar with this place.

Whether it was the regular intelligence market or the black market in Giant Spirit City, he had his own reliable sources of goods and intelligence.

The speculators in the market who disguised themselves as adventurers were already familiar faces. When he met a familiar one, Ji Xun could say hello and ask if there were any new goods.

But Ji Xun preferred to visit the stalls of those unfamiliar faces.

Unfamiliar faces meant adventurers who had just returned from the adventure and treasure hunting in the Warcraft Forest, and they had more than just some good goods in their hands.

More importantly, Ji Xun can calculate what new discoveries have been made recently by observing the unearthed ancient relics.

"Look here, the fifth-level fire dragon scale just taken from the dragon's lair, the best material for strengthening armor"

"The third-level wind-running pterosaur baby dragon produced in the Sounding Wind Cliff, only 3,000 gold coins are needed to take it away, and flying in the sky is no longer a dream"

"Selling various maps, "Black Magic Forest", "Theramore Lake", "Dark Light Temple", "Blood Ring Mine Cave". Various latest mysterious civilization relics related maps."

"."

Ji Xun walked on the street, watching and listening all the way.

The noisy hawking of the street vendors was heard, and in his ears, it was a piece of information like a puzzle.

From the characteristics of the relics sold, a lot of information can be analyzed.

The excavation address, the degree of danger, the distribution of monsters, the type of relics, the era of civilization, etc.

Ji Xun's current deduction ability makes his brain like a centralized and efficient computer.

He comes every day, and a lot of information has been accumulated in his mind.

It can even be said that he knows better than many adventurers where the things sold on the stalls come from.

So he can often find big bargains.

Ji Xun made a lot of money this month and enjoyed it.

Of course, he also found that the number of adventurers in Juling City has increased several times recently.

The reason is that some new relics have been discovered recently, which has led to another "treasure hunt wave".

The civilization of this cave world is like a thousand-layer cake, one layer on top of another.

Humans left a large number of ancient relics during their reproduction and migration.

The relics of ancient civilizations buried in the ruins are often unearthed in large areas.

There are especially many in the Warcraft Forest.

So this treasure hunt wave comes every ten or eight years.

It was not surprising at first.

But Ji Xun found that most of the recently unearthed relics are related to the "Alterac Civilization".

In other words, the adventurers found some relics of the broken history that was most likely to be erased by the Holy See.

Ji Xun often comes to the market, so he also found that after the "Royal Academy Incident" a month ago, there were obviously more patrol officers in the market.

Others didn't know what they were patrolling, but Ji Xun guessed that these people should be looking for relics related to the heretics of the "Light Sect".

Once found, they will be confiscated and destroyed.

This didn't have much impact on Ji Xun, but he was more concerned about the "Great Emperor's Relics".

Coincidentally, the few curse cards unearthed recently were all concentrated in a certain dangerous area.

Not long after, the market was over, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

I went to the intelligence dealer to ask for information.

The information I got was still not much, mostly related to adventures in the Warcraft Forest.

Originally, Ji Xun wanted to know if there was any situation in the three kingdoms.

After all, Princess Sophia of the Red Dragon Royal Family is a believer of light, and there is no reason why the royal family would not be involved with those old remnants.

However, the intelligence dealer had no news at all.

It was precisely because there was no news that Ji Xun judged that there might be a "big change" in the three kingdoms.

He had played a professional intelligence dealer, so he was familiar with this business.

The only way to make the powerful intelligence dealers know nothing was that the Holy See personally blocked the news.

Otherwise, the gossip dealers who dared to spread the scandals of the kings and queens of the three royal families would not know nothing.

No news is actually news.

For Ji Xun now, he can infer the correct information from the information that was deliberately erased.

In the ability of "I am the world", no event exists in isolation, and it must be related to the world by countless causes and effects.

Whether the royal family is in chaos or not, you can actually see it by looking at the king's recent political activities, the major meetings he attended, and the changes in the accompanying ministers.

It's like a puzzle. Although a small piece is missing, it is enough to restore the general idea through the deduction of other parts.

So from the current intelligence, Ji Xun feels that the current situation in the Arel Empire is already very bad.

At least, he feels that a coup may have occurred in the Silver Dragon Kingdom!

It has not yet completely erupted, and it is completely suppressed by the Holy See.

In the simulation, the entire empire seemed to be in a state of impending storm.

Another problem was that there was no news about the "Scarlet Sect" that had caused so much trouble before.

The group of vampires seemed to have disappeared completely, and suddenly there was no movement.

Ji Xun didn't think they were wiped out.

On the contrary, it was most likely out of control.

In order to avoid causing panic, the news was also blocked.

There was a lot of news and it was not very relevant to Ji Xun.

He asked more to hone his ability to be the world.

It was exactly eight o'clock, and Ji Xun came to a huge circular building.

This is the largest auction house in Juling City.

Tonight, Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, one of the largest chambers of commerce in the southern continent, held a high-end auction here.

The Royal Academy gathered a large number of young nobles from the southern continent.

They are all rich second-generations with power and money.

Therefore, major chambers of commerce often hold such high-end auctions in Juling City, and there are often good things.

Ji Xun came to join in the fun because there were many auction items that he was interested in this auction.

For example, the [9 of Clubs] Curse God card newly discovered from the ruins.

Many people in the Royal Academy came for this card.

Another factor was to inquire about Gong Wu's situation.

The last information we got was that after the old man challenged various martial arts halls and his identity was exposed and he was caught, he was bought by the big boss behind the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.

And the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest slave chambers of commerce in the southern continent.

Slave gladiator fights are also the pillar economic industry of the southern continent and the most popular entertainment project.

Gong Wu has become a slave gladiator and is now looking for gladiators to challenge in major cities in the southern continent.

Among the same level, Ji Xun can't think of anyone who can beat Gong Wu.

The last information we got was that he was the "Fighting King with 79 consecutive wins" of the Slave Duel Alliance.

Ji Xun wanted to find an opportunity to see if he could contact the top leaders of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce and find some chance to rescue him.

He was not in a hurry before because he felt there was no need to be in a hurry.

Gong Wu was born for fighting and was a pure martial arts fanatic.

For ordinary people, this kind of precarious life may be a torment.

But Ji Xun knew the old man's character too well. Now he might still think he is living a good life. There are endless masters to challenge, it is simply a good day in a dream.

However, the reality is not so beautiful.

If it is a normal situation, Gong Wu will almost never lose within the same level.

Even if he really dies in a fight, it must be a battle worth dying for the old man.

However, the fact is that slave duels have huge gambling attributes!

The key to winning or losing is not only the strength of the gladiators, but also the odds!

The old man's character will definitely not play fake games. If he continues to win, his opponents will become fewer and fewer.

In order to make a lot of money, slave traders will inevitably choose to "break the door" and use some black means.

Even without an opponent, Gong Wu will be forced to participate in some gladiatorial battles with high-level monsters.

The result that Ji Xun saw was almost certain death.

Two hours later.

Ji Xun walked out of the auction with a bitter look on his face, and complained as he walked: "This auction price is too outrageous."

He originally thought that his family was good, and he might have a chance to auction the [9 of Clubs] Curse God card.

But after half the game, I realized that my family assets were not good enough in front of those top dignitaries.

When encountering real good things, the purchasing power is no longer the currency in the general sense.

There are always a few gold mines, a mithril vein, ten years of tax revenue from two places, and XX hereditary title.

These are the resources that only the real top dignitaries have.

The organizers of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce obviously care more about these resources than currency.

Most of the top goods in the entire auction were sold in this way of barter.

And the [9 of Clubs] Curse God Card, the students' little nobles competed for dozens of rounds, and finally it was sold by a mysterious buyer suspected to be a member of the royal family with a ninth-level magic crystal.

Ji Xun got nothing in the entire auction.

But the good news is that I have found out some information about Gong Wu's situation. The old man is still safe.

Judging from his schedule and odds, the slave traders have not made enough money from him yet, and he should not die in a short time.

The strength of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce is very strong, and Ji Xun is not able to force a rescue.

If we plan now, we should have a chance to save people in the future.

After leaving the auction house, Ji Xun went to the Adventurer's Guild as usual.

There are a lot of adventure missions, recruitment information and bounty notices issued here every day, which is also a very important source of intelligence.

Even at night, the Adventurer's Guild is still crowded with people.

Ji Xun came to a magic light screen with familiarity and quickly checked various information.

"The Iron Cross Mercenary Group is recruiting pioneer hunters."

"The King's Knight Mercenary Group is recruiting a large number of professional mercenaries, and retired sergeants are preferred. There are bonuses for going out for adventure, and the settlement fee and pension are high."

"Exploring the 'Dark Light Temple', we need a fourth-level nurse professional."

"Unicorn Chamber of Commerce escort mission."

"."

There is a lot of information, very miscellaneous.

Ordinary people usually only search for what they are interested in.

But Ji Xun reads everything.

He reads very quickly, one page at a time, and can finish a large piece in a flash.

There are a lot of movements of mercenary groups in this information.

To a large extent, you can analyze the information you want.

Ji Xun originally wanted to look for the emperor's relics and any clues about the Illuminati.

However, as he searched, he was surprised.

Because he saw a special encrypted notice.

I thought I had read it wrong.

After deciphering it, Ji Xun was even more surprised: "Is this... Old Xie looking for me?"

The encryption method of the code was agreed upon with Xie Guozhong a long time ago.

Although it is not too clever, it is definitely the work of an old friend.

The content is also simple, just wanting to meet with me to discuss something.

If it was before, Ji Xun would certainly respond without hesitation.

However, now.

If I guessed correctly, Xie Guozhong is now the culprit who assassinated the Pope of the Holy See, and the source of the "Scarlet Pollution".

He is so strong that he is unfamiliar.

Ji Xun couldn't help but wonder why he was looking for me?

Intuition told Ji Xun that the guy had no ill intentions.

But he came to me, I'm afraid he was preparing to make a big event again.

The last time he tried to assassinate the Pope failed, would he do it again this time?

But he can fight against the ninth level head-on, what's the point of looking for me?
