Cataclysm King

William came over, leaned on the bar in a casual yet gentlemanly manner, and threw a gold coin coolly: "Two glasses of gold."

The money given was far more than the price of the wine itself, and more was 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, Captain Qin, we are so destined that we have met again."

Qin Ru had wine in his hand, so he didn't touch the glass of Jinlim. He raised his glass and responded politely: "Yes."

Because she had to drink, she didn't wear a helmet.

Her hair was tied up casually, and she only wore a soft coarse linen 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 very gentlemanly. 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 Rushi had no interest in chatting with strangers, so she only responded: "Yeah."

William looked at this situation and was not annoyed. He 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 also met with the lord Earl Barney. Once. Oh, Clemington’s blackberry wine is the best fruit wine I’ve ever had.”

Ji Xun, who was right next to Qin Rushi, heard an imperceptible chuckle in his eyes.

It sounds like a very normal pick-up line.

If you talk to 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's hard 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 drunk it for a long time.”

Since Ji Xun had thought of this flaw, he had already told Qin Ru about some customs and customs of disguising his identity.

Upon hearing this, William no longer doubted anything.

The strange look 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 you have the honor, I would like to invite Commander Qin to join us. For dinner, my team previously hunted a very rare white deer.”

Qin Rushi: "I'm sorry. I'm a little tired when I first came to the camp, so I might take some rest first."

William: "Oh, I was abrupt."

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 positions so that they could be alone, which made the young man even more embarrassed.

After all, he couldn't continue chatting, so after saying "see you next time", William wisely left.

As soon as the people left, the atmosphere among the three returned to normal.

Bonnie 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 judged it as if it was serious: "Yeah. Indeed."

Qin Ru could tell that both of them were making fun of him, so he rolled his eyes at them and asked, "What did you see?"

Bonnie shrugged, her face calmed down, and then she 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, the expressions of Ji Xun and Qin Ru were not surprising. It was normal for an independent group like them to be noticed during this sensitive period.

But a sense of crisis has also arrived.

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 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 he is probably from the Holy See of Light. People."

"ah?"

This thought was so out of the ordinary that Bonnie had no idea why he would think of this.

But the facts these days proved that what Ji Xun said must be reliable, and she was even more surprised: "How did you tell?"

Qin Rushi also cast a curious look.

"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 be disguised. If you are really a loyal holy believer, then look at us appearing in the Firefly Camp. In such a special place, it might not be him, but someone from the Holy See, so I think there might 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 him before, let alone now. Besides, the suspicion should be completely eliminated by now."

Unlike vampires, the pagans of the Illuminati Sect are also dragonborn, but they believe in different gods, and 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 was reasonable when she heard it, but then asked: "Ah, is it possible that it was because of the leader? That guy protected me because of his lust."

"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 spoke of an insidious plan in the most understated tone, saying: "If I were in his position, the smarter way would be to notify the Holy See of the suspicious person as soon as possible, and then wait for the Great Sword Group to be arrested and interrogated. If there's a problem, it's a great achievement. If there's 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.

Only at this moment did she realize how far Ji Xun had thought.

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 quickly asked: "Is it possible that he will notify 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 turns out there is something sinister hidden inside.

"Won't."

Ji Xun said with a firm tone: "Now that he has shown his face, if he turns his back and we are caught, we will definitely suspect that he is related to him. Then the plan will be inferior. It is 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 may be plotted. I still have to thank you.”

Ji Xun smiled and said: "It's not that magical. There are a lot of such bloody tricks in romance novels. You will know after reading 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 Realm" is still in the development stage. The Holy See and the three kingdoms have invested a lot of personnel, financial and material resources, but 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 like the Great Swordsmen in the camp, and in a blink of an eye they were no longer noticeable.

The Great Sword Group has also been active in the forest for more than two months. I have to say that after drinking some wine, they felt happy both physically and mentally.

The news was pretty much the same. Ji Xun planned to take a night's rest 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.

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 planned to go take 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.

There are also many people in the market, just behind the pub street.

The adventurers just lay a piece of rag on the ground and put things on it, and it becomes 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.

Everything is there.

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 listened to the stall owners bragging about the origins of the goods. He could immediately analyze in his mind 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 a lot of ancient relics that were obviously very valuable and were being sold at street stall prices.

As a polymath, he picked up and bought a lot of things along the way.

Qin Ru 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, if you want to know the most about this forest, I would say second. No one dares to say first. This fluorescent forest, Burial Mountain, Moon Stream Valley, Devil's Life Cave, hell volcano and other dangerous places, I know everything about them. Chu. What? It’s not on the map? That’s normal. I have exclusive information, you know, exclusive top-secret information! It’s definitely a huge profit for me to hire a guide.”

"Hey, don't believe it. No one has known the eighth-level [Underworld Peacock] that appeared recently, right? I already know it! It is a pure-blooded hell species. It is said that the powerful general under the Hell Demon King can annihilate the divine light with one hand. The key point 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 you said?"

"How come you haven't seen it before? I once saw a [Peacock] in the transformation stage. My dear, that beauty is a real bone scraper, it can make people blind."

"Just brag. It sounds like it's true, hahahaha."

"But having said that, although this old man boasted a lot and was a little timid, he really brought us here smoothly."

"."

Ji Xun listened to the voice and turned his head to look.

Not far behind him was a small adventure group wandering in the market.

It looked like they had 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 this was an inferior 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 World of 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 taken on a new identity as an "adventure guide".

Qin Rushi noticed the change in Ji Xun's expression and said alertly, "What's wrong?"

Along the way, 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, this person appears here, This is a big deal."

Others thought the old man was bragging.

But only he knows,

What Old Man Xu blew might be that guy's real experience.

The last time I saw him, he 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 Realm.

If this person didn't come, I would feel like something was missing.

Qin Rushi was not familiar with Old Man Xu, but he also knew about his existence.

Hearing Ji Xun's words just now, she looked puzzled.

Ji Xun didn't explain much and just said: "Let's go back first and explain to you slowly. This time the plan may have changed."

I can't explain it clearly 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 greet 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 rush.

Although he was just seeing a friend, Ji Xun's mind seemed to be filled with a huge amount of information, and he suddenly became confused.

He planned to go back and 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, which continues to monitor the situation in the camp and wait for opportunities;

There is still a group of fourth- and fifth-level backbones, so they go back and hunt monsters in other places in the forest, and make preparations for the follow-up.

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.

The appearance of Old Man Xu is a sign of risk assessment for Ji Xun.

Ji Xun didn't know what would happen, but he was extremely sure that the Death 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, and only talked about his "intuition".

This reason is far-fetched no matter who you tell it to.

But including Qin Rushi, all the people in the Great Sword Regiment 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 left, and Ji Xun suddenly felt relieved.

Both Qin Rushi and the cadres had experienced countless life-and-death battles, and they had long been aware of facing death.

Ji Xun had no worries about the remaining people.

Life in the camp was very leisurely.

After parting with his teammates, Ji Xun, Qin Rushi, and Bonnie and several other cadres wandered around the camp and asked for information.

There were taverns and restaurants in the camp.

Although the prices were a bit expensive, fortunately the ingredients were very fresh, all of which were rare monster meat.

At noon.

Ji Xun and his friends ordered a table of delicious food by the window on the second floor of the restaurant and were feasting on it.

However, while eating, the noisy street suddenly fell silent.

Ji Xun immediately realized something and stuck his head out of the window.

He watched a group of knights riding ground dragons and wearing silver armor slowly enter the camp from outside.

The team was very long and there was no end in sight.

It is estimated that there are hundreds of knights just leading the way.

On the street, the crowd stood on both sides, silent, and respectfully welcomed the team entering the city.

"The Holy Dragon Knights lead the way. A big man from the Holy See has come."

"Look at this pomp, at least a high-ranking priest at the level of an archbishop."

"Hey, it's really lively. Why would an archbishop come to this ghost place?"

"."

Other adventurers in the restaurant also started to discuss.

Ji Xun and his friends were not surprised. They knew the situation in the Dead Zone, and it was not surprising that the Holy See would send top masters.

The team on the street walked for a long time, and Ji Xun saw the white-bearded old man sitting in the gorgeous jewelry carriage in the team from a distance.

He was wearing a gorgeous red bishop robe, and his hat and shoes were inlaid with various gorgeous gems, and the details were luxurious.

Ji Xun looked at the outfit, glanced at it, and then retracted his gaze.

Those who can approve such a red bishop robe are all powerful figures in the Holy See.

If not ninth level, at least eighth level.

This kind of expert, if there is any malicious peeping, will be detected.

Ji Xun had seen one before.

It was the one killed by Griffith, the leader of the Rebel Dragon Army.

Originally, Ji Xun was not surprised by the arrival of such a strong man.

However, as the team walked, he saw that the beast carts in the team actually carried a lot of goods.

This made Ji Xun immediately suspicious: "Huh?"

The archbishop's travel is indeed like this, but it's okay in the city, this is the depths of the Monster Forest, why is there so much stuff?

The Holy See has collected most of the top treasures in the entire southern continent, so there is no shortage of treasures to accommodate.

Logically speaking, if you want to bring supplies, you don't need to use a beast cart to pull it.

Ji Xun was confused and deliberately observed the mud on the wheels.

Immediately judged that this must have come from a long distance, not just pretending to be at the door.

In other words, there are some large objects in the convoy that cannot be accommodated.

"So, this cardinal is here to escort the items in the team?"

Ji Xun came to a conclusion immediately.

It was not surprising that the Holy See had experts. He was curious about what was brought to make such a big scene.

The animal carts carrying goods were wrapped in luxurious blankets. There were more than a dozen carts, and it was impossible to see what was there from the outside.

Ji Xun also couldn't figure out what it was.

However, Ivan, who was secretly eating food in his pocket, suddenly froze.

Ji Xun looked at the little girl and the excited pupils made him guess what was on the animal cart.

A coffin!

When Griffith found Ivan, the little girl was lying in the mysterious coffin with high-level space laws!
