Cataclysm King

Chapter 195 Judgment
Because before coming in, Ji Xun had obtained all the information from the Lion Heart Family's previous four explorations from Nan Jing.

Therefore, he also clearly knows which NPCs in Ironforge have not been triggered by anyone, and which ones are suspected of triggering advanced plots.

This also brought him too much convenience.

Now that I have the token of the City Lord's Mansion, it is more convenient. I can chat with NPCs more or less.

He wasn't just wandering around. Along the way, he also learned a lot of information that he didn't know before.

As for being followed, Ji Xun didn't care at all.

The package in his hand was a hot potato. He must throw it away after leaving the city. Being noticed was intentional.

instead,
What he cares more about is the plot itself.

If you want to get the Holy Grail, A-level missions are not enough.

He even felt that the plot related to City Lord Mo Sang might not lead to the Holy Grail.

Therefore, if you want to find the Holy Grail in this extra-dimensional space, you must need some unexpected ideas.

The only known information related to the Holy Grail is the "rumor that the Holy Grail appears" prompted by Enlightenment.

The question Ji Xun wanted to find out was, where did this rumor come from?

Following this line of thinking, he asked some sergeants in the city.

But the information obtained was very limited.

Although it seems that it can trigger some side missions with rich military achievements, none of them are related to the Holy Grail.

Almost no one even knew that the white-robed magician Gan Luobi was in the city.

Or maybe it was kept secret and not disclosed.

Later, Ji Xun changed his mind.

He changed some of the targets of inquiry.

It is no longer about finding some senior generals.

Instead, he specifically asked some small people related to the life of the city lord's mansion, such as war horse breeders, kitchen workers and maids.

After all, when the big shots come, the food, accommodation, and transportation cannot be the same as those of these big-headed soldiers.

Even if the NPCs don't say it, the details will give it away.

After asking this question, Ji Xun really found some clues.

Ironforge is an important city of weapons, and the food and lodging consumption of the sergeants are recorded.

Starting five days ago, the food standards in the City Lord's Mansion have become ridiculously high.

It was so high that Mo Sang, the Lord of Ironforge, would never be so extravagant.

Magicians are usually ascetic monks. The more powerful the magician, the lower the requirements for food and accommodation.

Ji Xun guessed from this that there might be a "big man" hiding in Ironforge who had a higher status than the white-robed mage Gan Luobi.

And it was precisely because he knew that Gan Luobi was a court mage.

There are not many people in the entire Delan Kingdom who have a higher status than this one.

Ji Xun felt that that big shot might be the key to the Holy Grail!
However, the big shot didn't show up, and the confidentiality work was done very well, so Ji Xun had no way of knowing what was going on.

And the one-hour repair was quickly over.

The thousand people who entered the extradimensional space this time were divided into dozens of reconnaissance teams and each left the city.

Now what they want to complete is to trigger the B-level mission to intercept and kill the red-robed shaman of the demon clan.

The previous explorations were mostly done by cannon fodder hunters. This time there are many experts. As long as they are found, this B-level mission can be completed [-]% of the time.

Ji Xun, on the other hand, quietly hid in an Ironforge NPC scout team and followed him out of the city.

After leaving Ironforge, the surroundings became dark.

The direction of the NPC team that Ji Xun was following was southwest, which was heading towards Bourbon City, three hundred kilometers away.

It is surrounded by mountains, complex environment, and large areas of dense forest.

After walking only a few kilometers, the lights of Ironforge disappeared into the mountain col behind them.

Surrounded by coniferous pine forests tens of meters high, the cold wind blows.

The air smelled of terror and darkness.

Ji Xun remembered all the details of the military map he saw in the city lord's palace before. As he walked, he also located his position.

The intelligence has already suggested that this is the area where the demon vanguard appears.

But Ji Xun knew that what he had to face now was not some demon, but the guys who were chasing him.

If not.

Without warning, I heard the sound of "whoosh", "whoosh" and "whoosh" of the wind in the woods.

Before those NPCs had time to react, they were shot by the hidden arrows and fell to the ground.

Ji Xun reacted quickly and dodged the crossbow arrow that shot towards his thigh.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of black shadows were surrounding him.

However, during the encounter, the NPC captain who was still struggling was also killed.

Ji Xun knew that he was a third-level card master when he saw the sharp means of taking action.

Just by looking at the clean tactics of these people, I could guess that they were the elite of the Lionheart family.

Ji Xun himself does not use the secret technique of domination, does not use flying knives, and has not transformed into a werewolf. He can only be regarded as an ordinary elite among second-level card masters.

The opponent had dozens of elites, as well as level [-] card masters, so naturally he was going to get a beating.

Just a few moments after the attack, Ji Xun was forced into the corner of a big tree in the forest by a group of people, with no way to escape.

Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he looked coldly at the group of guys in front of him who were all wearing gas masks, but he could tell at a glance that they were well-trained guys, and asked knowingly: "What are you going to do?"

His disguised identity was arranged by Nan Jing's mother, so the Lionheart family obviously had scruples about taking action.

The most important thing is that they must also want to know what mission they have accepted.

So they will definitely be left alive.

At this moment, a person who seemed to be the leader of the group of people surrounding him spoke: "Tell me what mission you have taken. I will spare your life."

The tone was cold and there was no mincing words.

But...it turned out to be a woman!

Moreover, Ji Xun was very familiar with this voice and thought to himself, "Bai Wei? Is this woman also coming in?"

Watching this woman come in, he also realized that this exploration lineup seemed to be quite exaggerated.

The Bai family's methods have been learned before in the deep pit secret realm, and he can't be killed no matter what.

However, it is better to be strong.

I'm afraid that others are too weak to take on this A-level mission.

Ji Xun also didn't doubt this woman's methods and ruthlessness.

But it’s all about acting.

He acted out the tangle with a subtle expression, and then waited for a crossbow on his shoulder before reluctantly taking out the package and saying: "A single-person A-level mission to deliver an iron furnace to the city of Bourbon three hundred kilometers away." A letter of request for help from the Lord of the Castle, Mo Sang.”

"A-level mission?"

Hearing this, Bai Wei, who was sitting high on the tree trunk, changed her expression, and she was obviously very surprised.

I had explored many times before going long before launching a few B-level branches. I didn’t expect that this time I would directly receive A-level branches.

A-level missions in war mode should not be underestimated.

She shouted: "Give me the letter!"

Ji Xun didn't hesitate and threw the package directly.

Whoever gets the package, the task will be transferred.

Bai Wei's expression changed when she got the package, and she asked again: "What's in the package? Also, how did you get this mission?"

When Ji Xun heard this, Enlightenment had already appeared: "You are exempt from the 'Power Word' erosion."

With the mysterious method of hypnotic spirit, it would be easy for Bai Wei, a third-level master, to control a second-level card master.

Too bad there are clown masks.

There was no need to lie about this, Ji Xun said directly: "I don't know. There is a magic contract on the package and I can't open it."

Then he added: "Before I entered, someone gave me information and some plot-related items and asked me to go to the City Lord's Mansion. I accepted this mission."

Bai Wei asked: "Who gave it to me?"

Ji Xun: "I don't know. I'm only responsible for completing the task."

After hearing this answer, Bai Wei didn't ask any more questions.

Thinking that she knew that the man in front of her was a dead soldier planted by the Oran survivors, there was no problem with her answer.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden explosion in the air, and a figure broke through the encirclement, and disappeared in the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

The things had been taken away and the purpose had been achieved. Ji Xun had no intention of keeping them any longer.

He was sure that those guys couldn't kill him, so he chose not to transform and break out.

Fortunately, the bet was right.

He was hit by two more knives and an arrow in the back, but he managed to get out smoothly.After running in the dense forest for a while, Ji Xun didn't feel lucky at all when he saw that no one was chasing him.

He has seen the evil tricks of the Bai family before.

Eighty percent of the time, he had already been possessed or locked by some positioning method.

But it doesn't matter.

Compared to the difficulty of the plot in this space, this threat is not too great.

Ji Xun distanced himself, but did not go far.

The werewolf's sense of smell allows him to easily locate those people through various scents in the air.

The guys got the package, although they also suspected it might be dangerous to open it.

But they don't have a "magic contract", so they will definitely open it and take a look.

Ji Xun felt that if he waited, he would definitely find something.

He was waiting on the branch of a tree, using medicine to treat his injuries while observing his surroundings.

But suddenly!

The [Devil Pointer] in Ji Xun's hand started spinning crazily.

"what's the situation?"

Ji Xun looked at the pointer in his hand and immediately thought of something.

He had enough experience from the last experience. This situation of the pointer spinning around meant that there were many and very powerful demons approaching.

"Did those guys open the package?"

Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, not sure whether there was something wrong with the package itself, or whether those people opened the package and attracted the devil.

But he immediately set off to create a farther and safer distance.

There were obviously experts in perception among Bai Wei's group, and they were far better at detecting danger than Ji Xun.

Almost not long after Ji Xun evacuated, he suddenly saw a bunch of fireworks rising into the sky, exploding into a dazzling light in the sky.

This is the rally fireworks.

After discovering the mission target, each team will assemble at the same time.

After all, hunting the "Red Robe Shaman" is a team task. If they are defeated by separate forces, everyone will die here.

"Tsk tsk, it looks like there's quite a lot of trouble. They gathered as soon as they arrived."

Ji Xun was also glad that he had escaped.

Otherwise, if you are surrounded by an army of demons, there is no guarantee that you will get out of this B-level mission alive.

Before Ji Xun could think about it, the battle suddenly broke out.

In the forest, various gorgeous spell cards exploded, with violent sounds and lights, which were particularly eye-catching in the dark forest.

Moreover, the noise of the battle became more and more intense from the beginning, and it didn’t take long to see various high-level cards exploding.

[Storm Tornado], [Sun Burning], [Meteor Falling], [Earthquake].
Ji Xun was originally watching the battle with the mentality of watching the excitement.

But when he noticed that more and more high-level cards were being used in battle, he immediately realized that something was wrong!
Not just spells, but demonic magic waves.

Fire and rain filled the sky, and the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.

The shock wave whipped up strong winds several kilometers away.

"No, with this fighting intensity, there must be at least thousands of demons, right? And there are many high-level demons?"

Ji Xun is very aware of the elite fighting power of the Lion Heart Family.

Not to mention Bai Wei herself, the dozens of people just now, and the countless spell cards they carry, they can definitely easily kill the demon's vanguard army when they encounter it.

Even the "red shaman" in the B-level mission, considering that it was a fourth-level B-level disaster, would not have forced the group of people to be so embarrassed.

But the current situation looks like a large-scale battle.

The news of fighting is everywhere, and both sides are fighting for war at all costs?

But the intelligence said that there were only a small number of demon legions near Ironforge. Where did these monsters come from?
Thinking of this, Ji Xun's expression immediately became subtle.

He confirmed that the package had been opened.

And, it’s really bait!

"Old things like 'Kingdom Heroes' are for sale!"

Thinking of this, Ji Xunwei narrowed his eyes and complained.

But precisely because this was confirmed, the scope of various previous conjectures has been narrowed.

His thoughts began to stir: "But having said that, what on earth is Master Ganluobi doing?"

In a normal war, as long as the military fortress Ironforge is destroyed, the goal will be achieved.

Even if the people in the city escape, the devil camp wants to see them more.

In this way, we can drive straight into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Delan.

But now that they were encircling them at all costs, it was not difficult for Ji Xun to guess that those demons were encircling some important person or information!
The intensity of the interception confirmed that the information may be directly related to the Holy Grail.

Moreover, Ji Xun has now speculated that there is a mysterious "big man" in Ironforge.

Then the idea becomes clear instantly.

Dozens of so-called Falcon Legion teams went out of the city for reconnaissance, but they were actually scattered decoys.

This is the tactic of smacking east and west.

That white-robed magician Gan Luobi wants to escort the "big shot" out of the city!
To the north of Ironforge is the Devil's Mountains, to the southeast is the Youfeng Mine, and to the southwest is the only way they must pass to Pangbo City.

Even if we knew it was an attack in the east and west, the direction was too broad.

Ji Xun could not determine the direction of the "main force's escape".

Thinking of this, his mind recalled the military map he had seen in the city lord's mansion before.

After the magic was solved, the ability of photographic memory was strengthened again.

The content must be read carefully before it can be written down.

But now, even if he hasn't looked at it carefully, as long as he glances at it, it will flash in his mind like a photo taken by a camera. Within a certain period of time, he can recall what he saw retrospectively.

Ji Xun tried his best to think back, and the scene in his mind seemed to suddenly return to the previous scene in the city lord's palace.

He looked at the map on the table and suddenly noticed something: "No. There are traces of fingernail sliding on the map. Oh, that's the tactical route arrangement of the twelve NPC reconnaissance teams! Normally, the first batch of people leaving the city are all bait. Then these directions can be ruled out.”

Ji Xun's brain was working rapidly, ruling out all the possible bait directions.

After elimination, he got the coordinates on two maps: [Twin Towers Cliff] and [Echo Falls]!
Just like the scales on a dial, each scale extends to cover a wider range.

The two coordinates are tens of kilometers apart.

But thinking of this, Ji Xun transformed into a werewolf without hesitation and rushed towards Ironforge.

He was still not sure which one, so he could only try his luck.

At least I have an idea, and there is a 50.00% probability that I might encounter it!
The fighting in the forest became more and more intense.

After Bai Wei and his group blew up the assembly fireworks, thousands of people in the space rushed towards the assembly place.

The demon vanguard in the forest also moved.

The war spread across the forest.

Not long after, the werewolf transformed by Ji Xun suddenly jumped onto a towering rock and observed the fighting situation around the forest from a high position.

As he was running, he suddenly realized something else.

With the blessing of the bad luck gambler's aura, he felt that relying on luck, there was a high probability that he would guess wrong.

Moreover, the more I ran, the more I realized that things were not as simple as I thought.

"Hey, judging from the current intelligence, the 'big man' has mastered the key information, and the devil will intercept it. So the news about the Holy Grail should have come from the human side. In other words, there is a spy in the human camp. The high-level demon Wisdom must not be underestimated, and you may not be able to see through the tactics of attacking in the east and attacking in the west. Moreover, the wisdom of the white-robed mages is also extremely high."

Ji Xunke never treats these NPCs as fools.

He feels that what he can think of, others can think of.

Now the competition is about some details.

"That Mage Ganrobi should have guessed that they wouldn't be able to escape Ironforge so easily. Could this be all a cover-up?"

"And this "Battle of Ironforge" is only the early stage of the war, and it will not be so easy for the human camp to get the Holy Grail. Therefore, the 'big man' didn't actually get the Holy Grail, but just got the relevant clues. Could it be that they Not wanting to escape, but wanting to take the opportunity to find the Holy Grail?”

"Hey, those guys aren't going to Youfeng Mine anymore, are they?"

"."

Ji Xun suddenly figured it out.

From the perspective of an adventurer, he can see more information.

Since the will of space gave the clue to "Youfeng Mine", it must be useful.

Ji Xun immediately made a judgment: "[Twin Towers Cliff]! Here you can avoid the interception of the demon army, and you can go directly over the mountain to the mine!"

The more it feels like they broke through and ran away, the safer this conspiracy becomes.

Thinking of this, he ran directly towards the coordinates on the map.
