Chapter 419 Old Man Xu Was Arrested Again

Griffith, the leader of the Dragon Rebel Army who was ambushed by the Holy See, did so because he knew that she had a hidden wound that could not be healed.

She didn't expect to be killed, but as long as she continued to aggravate her injuries, she would die violently sooner or later.

This eliminates a huge hidden danger.

Of course, the premise is that if you don’t meet Chujiu.

But at this moment, some gears of fate seemed to be turning.

Because of a sealed secret book, [Sismark Holy Grail] accidentally accumulated new holy water

Now that Griffith's injuries have been healed by the Holy Grail, she will give them a "big surprise" next time she encounters them.

Ji Xun is always looking forward to doing things.

He could already think of some pictures in his mind.

But he still couldn't imagine the battle at the ninth level.

It is because of this that I am looking forward to it even more.

Griffith continued: "I came to the ruins this time because I needed some opportunities to see if there was any chance to go further. I was injured before and I didn't dare to go too deep, but now I can go and have a look."

Hearing this, the three people in the audience all cast curious glances.

Ji Xun's eyes widened and he asked curiously: "Ms. Griffith, are you going to advance to the divine level?"

The ninth level is a step further, isn't it the legendary god level?

hiss.

How do you feel that this is the closest to a "myth"?

However, after hearing Ji Xun's hopeful words, Griffith laughed at himself: "How can it be so easy?"

She knew that card masters of whatever realm were very interested in the legendary divine realm.

The same was true for my past self.

Full of yearning for high-level mysterious realms.

But when one has truly reached the pinnacle level of a card master, the most advanced realm in the legend, one realizes that the so-called "god realm" is far away.

As she spoke, she frowned, seeming to find this problem difficult to explain.

But because it was Ji Xun and the other three, Griffith patiently explained: "It can be said that without a great opportunity, in another hundred years, I may not even be able to understand the secrets of my current rank, let alone the gods." As far as I know, the threshold is higher than any threshold on the extraordinary path. It’s so high that I don’t even know which direction I should go in to practice.”

As soon as she said this, Ji Xun also heard the helplessness and confusion in her tone.

It feels like climbing a mountain.

When I was at the foot of the mountain, I thought that reaching the top would be the closest to the sky.

However, after actually reaching the top, I discovered that the stars were far away in the depths of the universe.

Chujiu and Nanjing on the side came from the imperial mausoleum after all. They had seen the inheritance of the Augustus royal family, but they seemed to understand something.

Griffith also deliberately guided the three of them, and continued without hesitation: "I just recently gained some insights on the [art] path. According to some fragments of words left by my ancestors, see if I can condense my own." Big Rune'."

When Ji Xun heard this, his eyes were slightly different: "Big Rune?"

"Um."

Griffith nodded, thinking that they didn't know what it meant, and explained: "A rune manifestation of one's own law. It is said to be a necessary condition for condensing the godhead."

Of course Ji Xun knew about "Big Rune".

But it was only when I went to the Imperial Tomb before and saw the [Emperor Stone Tablet] that I understood the concept.

Chujiu on the side was obviously in the same place as Ji Xun.

After waiting for Griffith to finish speaking, she rarely interrupted: "Actually, if Leader Griffith needs some reference, he can go to Rune Highlands to observe the [Emperor's Stone Tablet]."

Griffith obviously didn't know the existence of this treasure, so he asked: "The Monument of the Great Emperor?"

Chujiu said: "Yes. A stone tablet left by Emperor Lanlingst to record the Great Rune."

"this"

Hearing this, Griffith's crystal eyes trembled obviously.

Just by hearing this description, she immediately realized the purpose of the [Emperor Stone Tablet]!

If it were the big rune that other people gathered together, she still felt that it was not in line with her career sequence.

But that Emperor Lanlingst was the legendary and powerful man of high divine rank who was proficient in "art"!

There could be no better reference for her current state than this.

"Have you found a 'big opportunity'?"

Just like getting the Holy Grail water to heal his injuries before, this gave Griffith a magical feeling as if he accidentally hit his head by chance.

Is fate really so magical?

Griffith still remembers the prophecy that the "blind prophet" gave to him: When you meet a benefactor who can save your life, the beacon pointing to destiny will light up.

Could it be that "Lighthouse" refers to Princess Augustus?

I was puzzled before, but now I seem to understand.

Griffith thought of something, and a charming smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.

She didn't refuse Chujiu's proposal, but readily agreed: "Yes."

Griffith's injury suddenly healed, and several Aragorn rebel dragon army cadres were also greatly surprised.

When they knew it was because of the ninth day of the lunar month, everyone had more respect for Princess Augustus.

Moreover, this top player was in full strength, and the situation suddenly opened up.

Originally, they had to be on guard against the siege from the Holy Holy See, and also the assassination from the Oran Royal Court.

But now, the initiative has reversed.

Griffith in her prime can solve most problems with her powerful force.

After some discussion, everyone decided to take the initiative.

Now that it has been discovered, there is no need for bait or anything.

Ji Xun and his group planned to go directly to the ruins of the imperial capital Behemoth.

Ji Xun was also very interested in the different dimensions related to "The Last Battle of Behemoth".

After all, many top masters of the Taren Dynasty participated in the last battle.

Extraordinary materials that can reach the gods, the inheritance of card masters, even broken godheads, magic weapons, and things with the remaining royal power and luck.

In theory, they should be found on the battlefield.

There is probably no place in the entire Old Continent that can produce more abundant treasures than here.

Griffith did not go with the main force, but planned to see what was going on with the queen insect.

Only she was qualified to contact that kind of existence.

However, when she went there, the insects were still there, but the queen insect Karakta had disappeared.

Another point worth noting is that in the ruins, she found an immovable black stele.

Others did not know what the stele was, but Ji Xun knew.

He was not surprised that there was a [Forbidden Ruins Stele].

Looking back, each stone tablet seems to be related to the old gods.

Griffith is temporarily inconvenient to show up, so Ji Xun and his team took the painting boat to meet with the exploration team of the rebel dragon army.

A few days later.

Deep in the void.

Ji Xun and his team had a small goal, and they found the rebel dragon army hiding in various ruins smoothly.

This is an inconspicuous plane fragment.

When Ji Xun and his team came, there was a team of several hundred people exploring here.

Because there happened to be a twisted light gate here.

Seeing several cadres from Aragon coming, the garrisoned rebel dragon army also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Captain Aragon, you are finally here."

"Rom, what's going on now?"

"Captain Aragon, it's like this. We had already found the area where the imperial capital Behemoth collapsed, and we also harvested a lot of treasures. But the people of the Holy See somehow found us. So we temporarily evacuated. The Holy See sent a large number of mercenaries, and they are now stepping up their exploration. However, the development of those large-scale alien spaces is extremely difficult, and they should not be able to handle them in a short time."

"Yeah."

"This is a small alien space "Siege Outpost", and we are almost done with it."

"."

After greeting, Aragon also asked about the situation.

It was similar to what was expected before.

The Holy See has seized the core area of ​​the ruins.

They have a large number of people, strong strength, and a steady stream of war slaves sent over to open up the wasteland.

The rebel dragon army had to retreat.

But it was not a big problem.

The main tactic of the rebel dragon army was guerrilla warfare.

Originally, they planned to develop it secretly by themselves. Now that the enemy is helping them develop it, they have to consider how to maximize their benefits.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Aragorn did not introduce Ji Xun and his group too formally.

Especially Chujiu and Nanjing, they were wearing cloaks and could not be seen clearly.

Ji Xun listened to Aragorn and his group's chat while observing the ruins camp.

In addition to several teams of the Rebel Dragon Army, there were more people from the Alliance Army.

Not long after they arrived, they happened to meet a group of people coming out of the twisted light gate.

Although almost all of the dozen people who came out were injured, they all showed the joy of huge gains on their faces.

As soon as the leader came out, he excitedly and proudly reported to an officer: "Captain Bart, we have fulfilled our mission! We were lucky this time. We passed the B-level plot difficulty perfectly, produced several gold-quality mechanical drawings, and a large number of rare metals. Corporal Roger also obtained the golden demon mark of [5 of Spades]!"

"Well. Good job. What about casualties?"

"Six dead."

"Well. Major Mark, record the information, and the others go to heal and rest first. I will record the military exploits and rewards and send them to the headquarters. When the logistics ship arrives, you can take a vacation."

"Yes, Captain!"

"."

This is a normal exploration of the other dimension.

However, the difference is that the participants are well-trained professional soldiers.

Everyone in the team looks very capable, and their breath is as sharp as a blade.

Ji Xun can see at a glance that everyone in this team is the best in their rank.

After all, these are not ordinary adventurers, but elite troops trained by the Lionheart family.

When Ji Xun and Katarina talked about the joint exploration of the Lost Imperial Capital, they both knew that this adventure was of great significance.

So the people sent were all carefully selected elites.

Although the exploration is very risky and there will inevitably be losses.

But it is also necessary.

This ruins is a huge treasure house, and everything excavated is likely to be a fine product.

Ji Xun's participation in the "Horror Worm Cave" before can be seen.

Once the mechanical drawings and materials obtained are mass-produced, they will have a huge significance for the alliance army to improve its combat power.

Moreover, participating in the exploration is also a kind of training for the sergeants. The different-dimensional space will produce some treasures that are very suitable for the adventurers themselves.

Just as he was thinking about it, the commander with the rank of senior colonel had arranged for a new group of exploration teams and ordered: "Major Polly, after the latest information is compiled, you will lead the team in. Next time, focus on digging for B-level difficulty. Hidden plot, trigger a few more side tasks, don’t be too radical, try to ensure the safety of people.”

The major made a military salute: "Yes, commander! Promise to complete the mission!"

"."

Ji Xun looked slightly lost in thought.

Professional soldiers are really different from the casual adventurers he usually interacts with.

This is a group of people with faith and belief.

But hearing that their goal was to pass the B-level customs, Ji Xun felt slightly unfamiliar.

For him, this plot difficulty has little appeal.

But when I thought about it, it suddenly dawned on me.

Legions and individuals have different needs for adventure.

Individual adventurers, of course, pursue the ultimate single reward.

But the Legion doesn't need it.

It doesn’t have to be level S or A. Even if you have level B or C, you can still get a lot of treasures if you clear the level many times.

As long as the base number is large enough, there will always be "lucky people" who are lucky enough to draw good things in the settlement draw.

Moreover, the quality of these extra-dimensional spaces is high enough, and even the output of low-difficulty clearance is already very good.

Now the overall rank of the Alliance Army is not high, and things that are too high-end cannot be digested.

It's not worth it to challenge some ultra-high difficulties with so many casualties.

Instead, you can maximize your benefits by clearing lower-difficulty plots multiple times.

Whether it is the Alliance Army or the Rebel Dragon Army, such large organizations have countless mature and efficient plans for land reclamation.

There was no need for Ji Xun to worry about it.

For some reason, Ji Xun had an inexplicable feeling that he should go to the camp.

Think of him standing up and taking a few steps.

The camp with a few hundred people was not big, so after turning around, I could see everything in a blink of an eye.

However, when Ji Xun looked at a "prisoner" locked up in the corner, his expression froze: "Senior Xu?"

He never expected that he would meet Old Xu here again after not seeing him for many days.

But having said that, in these few meetings, this guy has always been a prisoner.

Why were you arrested again now?

If he saw it in the enemy's prison, Ji Xun would be happy to watch the excitement.

But when the Alliance Army saw this old man being arrested, the corners of his eyes twitched and he hurriedly walked up.

It was not good for you to arrest anyone, but you arrested this one.

Facts have proved countless times that if you catch him, you may not be able to do it, but the group will be destroyed.

Old Man Xu also looked up and recognized Ji Xun in a cloak at a glance. The old face that was still sluggish suddenly smiled like a stretched chrysanthemum: "Oh, brother Ji Xun!"

This voice was yelling out of fear that no one else would hear it, and it attracted everyone's attention.

Ji Xun took off his cloak and walked over quickly: "Senior, why are you here?"

Others in the camp also looked over curiously.

The senior colonel commander of the Alliance Army also recognized Ji Xun and came over immediately: "Bart, the commander of the Red Fang Regiment of the Fifth Legion of the Alliance Army Lions, has met Mr. Ji Xun!"

Ji Xun was not surprised that he was recognized. He was now a "celebrity" in the Alliance Army.

The wanted criminal was already well-known before, but now everyone knows that he has a close relationship with the Allied Commander-in-Chief Katarina.

Ji Xun also recognized the senior colonel and nodded: "Yes. I have seen you in Innocence City before."

That time at Rose Manor, this was Catalina's guard.

Colonel Bart was also surprised that the other party remembered him and gave him a military salute.

Whether it was his identity as a young lady or the commander of the Alliance Army, he knew that the person in front of him had a higher position than himself.

As Bart spoke, he immediately called for someone to untie the chains on Old Man Xu, and at the same time explained with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry, Sir Ji Xun. This old gentleman was found nearby by the previous patrol."

He did not say "suspected spy" out loud, but said euphemistically: "Later he said he knew you, and then we kept him here."

"Um."

Ji Xun also expressed that he understood.

I met someone in this ruins who was not from my side, and he looked so sneaky. It was strange that he wasn't taken as a spy.

But what he was curious about was, how did this old man know how to use his own name?

Ji Xun's expression was slightly strange, and he helped to untie the iron chain on Old Man Xu's hand, and at the same time asked: "Senior, why are you here?"

Fortunately, these people really believed that they knew each other, otherwise if they had to send this old man into an extradimensional space to be used as cannon fodder, many people would probably die.

Colonel Bart looked a little embarrassed when he saw that the old man really knew Ji Xun.

Listening to that "Senior", he also knew that he seemed to have captured a very special person.

After all, not everyone can come deep into the ruins.

And it wasn't just him, almost everyone in the camp cast curious glances at Old Man Xu.

Old Man Xu said: "I don't know either. One day after I came out of the extradimensional space with you, I was teleported to this area for no reason. I finally found a place to rest, and then I was caught by them."

It seems that this old man has been caught many times and is used to it.

After loosening the chain, he grinned his old face with missing front teeth and smiled brightly, as if he had completely forgotten the unfortunate experience before.

However, these words sounded different to the audience. Coming out of an extradimensional space?

But when you come out of an extradimensional space, aren’t there always fixed exits?

Randomly sent?

hiss.

Is it S clearance?

This is the only possibility.

After everyone thought of this, when they looked at Old Man Xu, their eyes were different.

Although they didn't quite believe that such a plain-looking old man S had cleared some kind of extradimensional space, they heard that he was with Ji Xun, so they didn't doubt it.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were extremely complicated.

Especially senior officials like Aragon.

After all, they knew that Ji Xun was capable of clearing the S difficulty space.

The cause and effect involved in Old Man Xu is too heavy, and contact with ordinary people does not mean it is a good thing.

Ji Xun didn't intend to say too much in front of everyone.

After saying hello to the senior management on both sides, he took Old Man Xu to the corner.

This old man appeared here, and he had a bad feeling.

Without any delay, Ji Xun directly found Aragorn, who was still discussing the matter, and said, "Aragorn, I think we may have to leave first."

Aragorn cast a doubtful look: "Huh?"

He also couldn't understand why Ji Xun had already agreed to ambush the masters of the Holy Vatican together, but why he suddenly changed his plan after meeting an acquaintance.

Ji Xun's eyes were full of complexity, "This matter can't be explained in just a few words."

"good!"

Aragorn saw Ji Xun's troubled expression. Although he was still puzzled, he didn't say much.

Ji Xun turned around and was about to leave. After thinking about it, he said one more thing: "Be careful."

I don’t know if he has been implicated, but it’s a good reminder.

Aragorn vaguely guessed something and nodded: "Yes."

Ji Xun did not dare to linger any longer in the camp, and led Old Man Xu to escape deep into the void.

Chujiu and Nanjing also accompanied them.

The two women were also puzzled by Ji Xun's behavior, but they didn't ask any more questions.

After Old Man Xu got out of trouble, his mood immediately improved and he started talking more.

The old man looked at the two girls in Chujiu with a daisy-like smile on his old face: "Oh, these two girls are so smart. They are even better than that girl last time."

Ji Xun didn't know what to say.

Nan Jing on the side blinked his big curious eyes and took the initiative to introduce himself: "Grandpa, my name is Nan Jing."

Ji Xundu called him "senior", and she naturally called her "grandpa".

Of course, she was even more curious about who the old man was talking about "last time".

When Old Man Xu heard the word "Grandpa", he immediately became excited and responded: "Oh, the girl is so polite. She has a strong destiny and will definitely achieve great success in the future."

This sounded like an ordinary wish from an elder, but Ji Xun looked sideways as he listened.

He has not forgotten that this old man can do divination.

A hundred years ago, he divined Song Yu, and it came true throughout his life.

Now hearing his evaluation of Nanjing, Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

Nan Jing also blinked when he heard this, and said obediently: "Thank you, Grandpa~"

Although Chujiu on the side did not speak because of his temper, he also showed due respect.

Old Man Xu glanced at him and said, "Well, I haven't seen such a strong royal power in a long time. Both girls are very good. Ji Xun, you are so lucky."

Ji Xun chuckled softly upon hearing this, "I'm borrowing my senior's good words."

We can chat about these things later.

He now needed to confirm something else.

Ji Xun didn't say much on this topic, and instead asked: "Senior. The insect mother Kalakta has revived, do you know?"

He knew very well that Old Man Xu was very forgetful and had to be reminded sometimes.

"Insect mother, what insect mother?"

"It is the 'Mysterious Insect Mother Kalakta' of the Seven Calamity Monarchs."

"."

As expected, the old man remembered something and said, "Oh, yes! Insects!"

Nan Jing and Chu Jiu on the side were slightly surprised. Ji Xun actually told a low-level card master the name of the Outer God?

Although they knew that this old man might be a bit complicated, what happened next was even more surprising.

Old Man Xu said: "I went to a ruins a few days ago, and there were so many bugs in it. Oops, my memory is so bad that I forgot what happened."

"."

When Ji Xun heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Have you really been there?

Stone tablet, foreign god. Old Man Xu.

All three appear at the same time every time.

There must be a connection.

Ji Xun was not surprised that Old Man Xu would appear in that place.

It's just that he still can't figure out why the mechanical angel in the extradimensional space of "Horror Bug Cave" showed hostility to the old man.

Now that he was getting closer to the truth of the battle that destroyed Talon, he felt as if he was getting closer to the time when the final mystery was revealed.
