Cataclysm King
Chapter 490: Warcraft Attacks Camp
"senior."
Mrs. Mist, whose face was covered by a cloak, came over and greeted Old Man Xu respectfully.
"???"
Old man Xu was stunned again.
A flash of embarrassment flashed across the dark old face.
It seems that he is surprised that today he always encounters situations where he knows himself but he can't remember who it is.
The old man asked: "Um, do we know each other?"
Even with her face covered, Mrs. Mist's soft voice sounded a bit charming, and she chuckled: "Have you forgotten? You have been to my manor before. However, that was a long, long time ago. "
This may not sound like much to others, but when Ji Xun heard this, his eyes twitched inexplicably.
manor
Couldn't it be the manor in the extradimensional space of "Black Crow Castle"?
But that was hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Could it be that Old Man Xu had met Mrs. Mist hundreds of thousands of years ago?
Ji Xun thought about the [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet] he saw under the cliff of Black Crow Castle in another dimension. It was really possible.
But no matter how you think about it, it feels absurd.
Two people who have survived from the end of the Chaotic Era to the present are really outrageous.
Mrs. Mister greeted Old Man Xu, and seemed to have recognized Ji Xun a long time ago. She turned her head and glanced at him, with an ambiguous smile in her crystal eyes: "Little handsome boy, we meet again~"
The other party took the initiative to say hello, and Ji Xun couldn't pretend not to know him. He gave up the high stool in a gentlemanly manner and said, "Mrs. Mister, long time no see. I didn't expect to meet you here."
It’s not that I didn’t expect it.
The Holy See has been issuing announcements to suppress heretics, and he has long known that vampires are active in the Dead Realm.
What she didn't expect was that now that there was a red archbishop in the camp, she would dare to come so arrogantly.
It's really courageous.
"Thank you~"
Mrs. Mister was not polite, habitually gathered up her clerical skirt, which did not need to be so particular, and sat elegantly on the stool.
She looked at Ji Xun and did not forget to joke: "The day we met at the Parkway Theater, I thought you would come to me to catch up on old times. I also prepared good wine, but in the end I waited most of the night in vain."
It sounds like a resentful and empty noble lady, which is touching.
But Ji Xun knew it was a joke, so he laughed casually and said, "Next time for sure."
"Ha~"
Mrs. Mister raised her eyebrows and smiled coquettishly, seeming to be amused by the scumbag's answer.
She glanced at Qin Rushi from the corner of her eye and said, "The little girl is indeed beautiful~ No wonder."
Ji Xun didn't explain, just smiled.
Qin Ru didn't say anything as she listened, but the sound of "little girl" made her feel a little weird.
From the sound of her voice, this woman should not be much older than me.
But after glancing at Ji Xun's expression, he seemed to understand something.
The origins of being involved with Senior Xu may not be simple.
Although everyone knew what was going on, the atmosphere was still a bit weird.
Ji Xun said, "Why is Mrs. Mister here?"
Of course he knew that the countess was not here to find him.
There can only be one possibility: it is not convenient for Xie Guozhong to show up, and this Mrs. Mister comes to see Mr. Xu to talk about business.
"Oh, when I saw you, I almost forgot about the real thing."
Mrs. Mister patted her breasts, which were still majestic even though they were hidden in her loose robe. She asked the bartender to serve the wine, and then talked about business to Old Man Xu: "Senior, I want to ask you for a divination."
When Old Man Xu heard this, he didn't care whether he knew him or not. He looked like a stickman who would never let any business come to his door. He quickly greeted warmly: "Oh, that's easy to say. Girl, what are you divination for?"
As he spoke, he smacked his chest and began to brag: "I don't dare to talk about anything else. When it comes to divination, I am the oldest fortune teller in this camp. Object pendulum, tarot, poker, numerology, astrology. Not to mention proficient, I know a thing or two about them all.”
This did not suppress Hidden Sound, and the drinkers not far away were all scornful: Wasn't this guy an intelligence merchant? Why is he a fortune teller now?
The old is indeed the oldest, but divination
Every one of the wild fortune tellers on the market is a liar.
Upon hearing the words "proficient in everything", others have already concluded that this person is a liar.
Mrs. Mister, however, seemed to believe it. After hearing what Old Man Xu said, she even agreed: "Yes. I didn't believe it back then. Now that your divination has come true, I realize how shallow my knowledge was at the time."
When Ji Xun heard this, he always felt that she meant something.
Mrs. Mister didn't hesitate, she handed over a gold coin and asked: "Senior, I want to ask about the bad luck."
"Ah, that's easy to say."
Old Man Xu couldn't take his eyes away from the gold coins, and casually said: "Girl, are you here to hunt for treasures in the forest? You must know that this is the depths of the Warcraft Forest, and there are many dangers, especially since many top-level Warcraft have emerged from the secret realm recently. The risk is very high.”
Others who heard this talk thought it was worthless.
Who doesn’t know that the Warcraft Forest is dangerous? Isn’t this nonsense?
However, Mrs. Mist frowned when she heard this.
After pondering for a moment, she seemed to have learned some unorthodox rules from somewhere. She silently took out a few more gold coins and placed them on the bar, asking: "Is there any way to avoid risks?"
Sure enough, Old Man Xu's eyes lit up as soon as he made this move.
I have to say that this old man still has a very professional ethics.
He took the money, so of course he had to say a few more words. He pretended to fiddle with the gold coin in his hand as if he was fortune-telling something, and then said: "Girl, you are lucky to have met me. If you really encounter fatal danger, you can go to the southeast to solve the crisis."
After these words, the lingering uneasiness between Mrs. Mister's eyebrows dissipated, and she solemnly said: "Thank you."
Others only laughed at him.
But Ji Xun and Qin Rushi listened, and a trace of thought appeared in their eyes.
Mrs. Mister completely ignored the gazes of others, and said, she asked the bartender to serve the wine again, saying: "An old friend of yours asked me to say hello to you. This is the wine he said he would treat you to. Let me ask you again if the thing he is looking for is in this camp."
Old man Xu was stunned: "My old friend? What is it?"
Mrs. Mister did not respond, just looked at him.
A drunken guest not far away couldn't stand it anymore and laughed, "Hey, old man, you can tell fortunes, why are you asking people what they are looking for?"
Everyone else could hear these conversations.
But what they heard was not the original intention of the conversation between the two.
Old man Xu was choked by this, and his old face was full of embarrassment.
He quickly raised his wine glass and pretended to drink a glass to cover it up.
His little eyes turned, as if he had an idea immediately.
He put down his wine glass and threw three gold coins casually, looking at the pattern of two heads and a flower, and said, "Well, if you are willing to find it, you can find it no matter what it is. From the results of the divination, you can find what you are looking for."
He didn't say it was in the camp, nor did he say it was not there.
This is a common rhetoric routine of charlatans.
Say some ambiguous words and let the customers check it out for themselves.
If you guessed it right, it means you got it; if you guessed it wrong, it means you have misunderstood it.
What Old Man Xu said is also completely in line with this approach.
Hearing this, the drinker beside him sneered and was no longer interested in listening to the meaningless words of this liar.
"Yeah."
But hearing this, Mrs. Mister nodded seriously and asked, "We just came to the camp and want to go on an adventure. When do you think it's appropriate to go out?"
Old man Xu said, "Everything must be prepared. It must be three or five days later, right?"
"Thank you for your advice."
Mrs. Mister asked three questions and didn't want to ask more.
Turned around and stood up from the high stool, and said to old man Xu, "Senior, goodbye."
Old man Xu seemed to think that the money was too easy to make, and the smile on his face never faded. Seeing that the big customer was about to leave, he said, "Ah? Little girl, you are leaving now? I am also a part-time intelligence dealer and guide. If you need it, we can talk more."
"No."
Mrs. Mister: "I will ask you again when I have the chance."
When they met more than 100,000 years ago, the old man erected a stone tablet at the seal. At that time, she didn't know how powerful this person was.
Seeing him now, she no longer had any contempt.
She knew very well that the more questions she asked, the greater the cause and effect involved.
She left decisively.
Turning around, Mrs. Mister glanced at Ji Xun and teased him, "Handsome boy, I will be in the camp these two days. When can we make an appointment to have a good chat alone~"
Ji Xun didn't take it seriously and raised his eyebrows and said, "Yeah. Definitely next time."
Mrs. Mister smiled charmingly.
Without saying anything more, she turned around and left the tavern.
Mrs. Mister left before she even sat on the stool.
Ji Xun fell into deep thought.
The conversation just now seemed to be some insignificant things to others, but he captured a lot of key points in his mind.
1. Xie Guozhong is nearby; 2. Something that the Scarlet Cult is looking for is in the camp; 3. They will take action in three days.
Before, Ji Xun was still guessing what was sealed in the coffin brought by the cardinal.
Now it seems that it is very likely the "mysterious giant hand" of the Royal Academy.
After all, Xie Guozhong, or the ‘Scarlet Corruption·Sayadis’ in his body, was heading for that big hand.
And if that hand is to be brought out, a carrier that can hold it is needed.
This is the role of the coffin.
This must be a top secret of the Church.
Ji Xun knew that there was a coffin in the convoy because of Ivan.
The Scarlet Cult probably didn’t know about this “secret weapon” of the Church.
At least not sure.
So Mrs. Mister came to divination.
Then she got some directional answers from Old Man Xu.
In ancient times, many wars required “prophets” and “priests” to divination the day.
Ji Xun smelled some ancient rules in the conversation just now.
He thought the camp would be the main battlefield before, but it was just an inference.
Now that he has met Mrs. Mister, it is basically confirmed.
After Mrs. Mister left, Ji Xun and Qin Rushi didn’t stay in the tavern for long. Now that it is confirmed that Old Man Xu is in the camp, it is convenient to find him.
The two walked on the street, and Ji Xun's thoughts were still immersed in deduction.
As he walked, he looked at Qin Rushi beside him and suddenly asked: "Aunt Qin, are you curious about the origin of Mrs. Mist?"
Qin Rushi said calmly: "There is a rotten smell on that woman. It feels to me that she should have lived for at least hundreds of years. Is she a vampire?"
Ji Xun was also surprised that she could see so much, but shook his head and said: "Yes, she is a vampire. However, she has lived not for hundreds of years. But for hundreds of thousands of years."
Hearing this, Qin Rushi was stunned, really surprised: "Ah???"
"Yes. The first time I saw her was in an alien space."
Ji Xun knew that Qin Rushi had a knowledgeable immortal behind him, and he also wanted to say it out, so that more people could refer to it.
He also said what he had thought of before, as well as a series of related clues.
Qin Rushi listened very carefully, and there were so many important information hidden in the conversation in the tavern just now that he had not seen.
Walking, the two walked to the restaurant they had been in before.
Several cadres of the revolutionary army were still waiting here.
The guys who were bored waiting were lying by the window, as if watching something exciting.
Bonnie looked at Qin Rushi and the two of them coming back, and greeted: "The captain is back."
The other people also looked over, but their eyes were still looking out the window.
Qin Rushi asked, "What are you looking at?"
Bonnie gossiped, "I'm looking at your suitor, who is bullying others by taking advantage of his power."
"???"
Qin Rushi also felt strange after hearing this. What's the connection?
Ji Xun also looked out the window.
Just happened to see William, the young master of the King's Knights Mercenary Group, leading a team to patrol the camp.
They seemed to have encountered a suspicious person, and then the two sides clashed.
The other party in the conflict was a small adventure group of seven or eight people.
The King's Knights blocked the alley, and the onlookers outside could not see the excitement.
But Ji Xun and his team on the second floor could see it clearly.
The conflict was over, and some people were injured and bleeding.
It looked like a normal procedure for checking suspicious people, searching, arresting people, and taking them back for interrogation.
Similar things happen many times every day in the Firefly Camp.
Some are innocent, and some are really problematic. Originally, these are not worth paying attention to.
It's just because the leader of the arrest was William, the revolutionary army became a spectator.
"Hey, that blonde girl has a freckled face, but she looks pretty iconic."
"I heard that some senior clergy in the Holy See have pedophilia, especially some old guys. I think the investigation of suspicious persons is fake, maybe they were caught by the archbishop."
"Yeah. I heard about it in the tavern before. The newly arrived Bishop Fedor has a bad reputation."
"."
Everyone was watching and muttering.
The dragon race is sexually promiscuous, and so are the dragon descendants. There are many chaos in the southern continent.
It would have been fine to just watch.
But now it's different.
Ji Xun had previously guessed that William might be a member of the Church of Light, so any action of this guy might be motivated.
In his mind, he was thinking about whether the public security incident in front of him was related to other incidents. He saw the blonde girl among the arrested people from the corner of his eye, and his pupils shrank slightly: "Huh?"
The ability to remember everything made him feel familiar at first glance.
Although there are some changes, isn't this Princess Sofia after the transformation?
Not many people have seen her transformed appearance, but by chance, Ji Xun had seen her in the alternate dimension of Black Crow Castle before.
"The Holy Lady of Light is here too?"
In an instant, Ji Xun had guessed the whole reason for this incident.
It looked like an unexpected incident, but it was actually a deliberate plan to send Princess Sophia to the Magic Tower.
Many things need to be reasonable, so some public opinion must be prepared in advance.
For example, the style problems of the high-level officials of the Holy See that everyone in the Revolutionary Army has heard about now.
Regardless of whether Bishop Fedor has a problem with his style, now that the subordinates know the habits of the superiors, it is also human nature to send a few girls over.
"Hey, this is lively now"
Ji Xun's eyes were misty.
He just met Mrs. Mist, and now the Holy Lady of Light appeared.
If it wasn't a coincidence, the Light Sect and the Scarlet Sect joined forces?
But why did Old Man Xu say three days later?
Three days passed in a flash.
Because he guessed the possible changes, Ji Xun has been observing everything in the camp these days.
But neither the Scarlet Cult nor the Light Cult made any unusual moves.
There was nothing unusual except that more and more people were in the camp.
Until the third day, at noon.
Although they knew that something might happen today, they still had to eat.
In a familiar restaurant, they chose a seat by the window where they could see the camp gate as usual.
At noon, the restaurant was crowded.
While eating, Ji Xun chatted with Qin Rushi and others, and his eyes also watched the flow of people coming in and out of the camp gate.
He tried his best to remember every face he had seen, and deduced a series of fate lines of different colors in his mind.
He had seen countless people these days.
Ji Xun also found a lot of interesting things.
For example, some small adventure groups that were obviously wild groups had high-level card masters with hidden auras;
For example, some inconspicuous mercenary groups of caravans were actually royal knights in armor;
There were many more.
Ji Xun saw many people from the official side of the Arel Empire.
In comparison, the concealment methods of the "unknown forces" were much more sophisticated.
In short, the Firefly Camp is now a mixed bag, and it looks like a storm is coming.
Ji Xun doesn't think that the people of the Holy See don't know.
Even the parties involved in the game are well aware of the upcoming conflict.
The Holy See is fishing with bait;
The other parties are trying to eat the bait and the people together.
Now all parties are gathering strength and preparing for a war.
It depends on who has better means.
Ji Xun didn't know what he could see.
He glanced at it from time to time.
However, as he watched, another caravan that stretched for several miles entered the camp in a mighty manner.
There were thousands of people.
Ji Xun glanced at it and suddenly seemed to see something.
He glanced back again.
Only then did he see it clearly.
In the team, a sword-wielding boy followed the rhyming team of the caravan and entered the firefly camp slowly.
Ji Xun saw the boy with starry eyes and sword eyebrows, no wonder he felt very familiar, and after taking a few more glances, he confirmed: "Che Er?"
It was no one else, but Che Er, the little follower of Old Man Xu.
After not seeing him for a long time, the boy before now has a heroic spirit between his eyebrows.
However, when he saw him, Ji Xun suddenly realized why Old Man Xu said he would wait until today.
The intuition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, just as the caravan entered the camp, the guards on the watchtower seemed to have discovered something and shouted: "Monsters attack the camp! Monsters attack the camp!"
The sound of the horn resounded throughout the camp, and the crowd on the street became agitated in an instant.
Ji Xun and Qin Ru looked at each other, finally coming!
The other revolutionary army cadres could no longer contain their anticipation and put their hands on their weapons.
When the camp became noisy, their eyes also looked at Ji Xun at the same time, and their eyes could not hide their surprise: Monsters really attack the camp?
The beginning of this plot is exactly the same as the script speculated a few days ago.
