Cataclysm King

Chapter 418 It’s time to do something big
"leader!"

Aragon and his Panlong Army looked at their leader Griffith who walked out of the oil painting door, their expressions unable to hide their worry.

Ji Xun also frowned when he saw it.

Not only was Griffith vomiting blood, but her condition was also very strange.

Just like a character from a black and white movie, her entire body was in black and white at this moment.

He spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his breath weakened visibly.

To cause a ninth-level being to lose his composure like this, the injury must be serious.

Ji Xun knew that Griffith was in the [Painter] sequence, and this state looked a bit like his extraordinary abilities getting out of control.

But what puzzled him even more was that this extraordinary card master at the top level was actually injured?

She also mastered some of the laws of space, and could run away even if she couldn't win. How could she be injured so badly?

Griffith waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

She glanced at Ji Xun out of the corner of her eye and nodded slightly as a greeting to the guest.

She glanced at Chujiu and Nanjing again, and a barely perceptible strange color flashed in her crystal eyes.

Everyone sat together around the fire.

Griffith took several potions and her face seemed to have a little rosy color.

Gradually, the whole person changed from black and white to the colorful colors of a normal human being.

Aragorn couldn't help but ask: "Chief, what happened?"

"I was just ambushed by the Cardinal of the Holy See."

Griffith explained lightly.

The cardinal is a clergyman whose status is second only to the Pope, and is also the top fighting force of the Holy See.

Everyone heard this and understood what happened.

However, Ji Xun's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he noticed something fishy during the deduction.

Griffith looked at the puzzled expressions of the crowd and explained in detail: "I don't know what means those people from the Holy See used to discover our adventure team exploring the ruins. In order to avoid causing greater losses, I deliberately showed up to lure them over, but I didn't expect to be ambushed."

The members of the Dragon Rebel Army frowned as they listened, but they seemed to have gotten used to this daily routine of being chased and blocked.

Aragorn realized the seriousness of the situation and asked again: "Should we go over and join the battle?"

After all, the most important purpose of the Rebel Dragon Army coming to the ruins this time is to develop it first.

This side is just bait, the exploration team over there is the main force.

"Being not."

Griffith shook his head and said, "Those people are heading for the other-dimensional space and the queen worm in the ruins. They can't get away in a short time."

As she spoke, it seemed like she was explaining this specifically to Ji Xun: "We just discovered several different dimensional spaces related to "The Battle of Behemoth" a few days ago, and we are sending people to explore. If nothing unexpected happens, that is the space closest to the truth of the battle that destroyed the Talen Dynasty. However, it is very difficult to develop, and the progress is not fast at the moment. Now that it has been discovered by the people of the Holy See, it seems that there will be more trouble."

Having said this, Ji Xun has actually deduced the biggest possibility.

Since no one was present, he said directly: "It should be that the people from the Orlan Royal Court deliberately lured the Holy See over there."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

The purpose is also very simple.

Whether it was the people of the Arel Empire or the rebel dragon army who were developing the ruins, the Oran Royal Court could do nothing about it.

In order to prevent either side from succeeding, the best option for the Oran Royal Court is to let the two sides fight so that they can benefit from it.

It was just like unsealing the jar of the Zerg Queen Karakta in the ruins before.

They took advantage of others who paid a huge price to explore the ruins, and finally those guys from the Oran royal family took advantage of their familiarity with the ruins and reaped the benefits.

As for how to determine the location of the rebel dragon army
If the people of the Orlan Royal Court can place spies in the high-level positions of the Holy See, then it is not surprising that they have informants in the Allied Forces or even the Rebel Dragon Army.

The situation is indeed bad, but it is not unexpected.

Moreover, the Rebel Dragon Army has been fighting the Holy See for thousands of years, so this time is nothing special for them.

After Griffith said a few words, he turned his gaze to Ji Xun and the other two.

Although she had received information before and knew about the existence of Chujiu and Nanjing.

But seeing it with his own eyes, even the leader of the Rebel Dragon Army could not hide his amazement.

But thinking that Ji Xun and I are friends, it seems understandable.

Aragorn and his companions all knew that Chujiu and Nanjing had special identities, and they also guessed that their leader had some secret matters to discuss, so they tactfully went to patrol the surroundings.

By the campfire, only Griffith, Ji Xun and three others were left.

Of course, Ji Xun also realized that the leader of the Rebel Dragon Army had something to say.

After all, she had asked a lot of questions about the royal family of Augustus in East Wasteland before in the Void Rift.

At that time, Ji Xun actually realized that the Rebel Dragon Army had some inexplicable sense of belonging to the royal bloodline, which seemed to be related to some ancient contract.

The facts were similar to what Ji Xun had guessed.

The empire was doomed to collapse at that time, so the royal court sent its descendants elsewhere.

Those who led the torch team were officials loyal to the Augustan royal family.

Augustus sent "Xinhuo" not only to continue the Kashi civilization, but also to leave some arrangements to continue the royal rule.

Therefore, it also involves some ancient blood contracts unknown to outsiders.

Although both parties knew each other's identities, Ji Xun still took the initiative to introduce: "This is Ms. Griffith, the leader of the Rebel Dragon Army."

After all, he is a top-level expert. Even Chujiu and Nanjing, who have special identities, were in awe when they saw him.

However, what was unexpected was that before Ji Xun finished his introduction, Griffith stood up and smiled very friendly.

Then he looked at the two people holding the outer hem of their skirts and performed an ancient court etiquette: "Greetings, Your Highness the Princess."

This scene was just like the one he had encountered at the Imperial Mausoleum in Rune Highlands.

Although Chujiu, who already had the aura of a king, did not show any strange expression on his face, he was not used to this title and quickly said, "Ms. Griffith, you misunderstood. I am not a princess."

Hearing this, Griffith shook his head and showed a casual smile, saying: "You are the descendant of Augustus, so of course you are a princess. My ancestor was once an eunuch in the court of Taren, so it is appropriate to call you that."

Ji Xun had spent a few days with this person before.

He is also familiar with the other person's personality.

The leader of the Rebel Dragon Army does not have any of the arrogance of a top-level strong man, but is more like an easy-going and casual artist.

When Chujiu heard this, he glanced at Ji Xun and said nothing more.

This friendliness also makes the atmosphere less serious.

Griffith smiled and nodded to Miss Ball-head, "Priest Nan. You are just as Ji Xun said before, cute and beautiful."

This is more casual, like meeting a new friend.

When Nan Jing heard this, he was slightly stunned, and a trace of panic immediately appeared on his round face. He said, "No way~ Ms. Griffith, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."

Although she was happy to be praised, she dared not respond when a lady who was prettier than herself praised her beauty.

Ji Xun listened and didn't know what he was thinking about, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The witch's beauty is indeed extraordinary.

To be honest, he had never seen a woman more perfect in appearance than Griffith.

Hearing Nan Jing's words, Griffith smiled gently, and all kinds of charm were revealed in his spring-like eyes.

She asked back: "Didn't Ji Xun tell you about my career sequence?"

When Chujiu and Nanjing heard this, they looked at her curiously, as if wondering why she asked this.

After a moment of shock, Nan Jing seemed to react, "Could it be that you..."

Griffith admitted generously: "Yes. I am the 'Witch'."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chujiu and Nanjing's expressions became obviously different.

They also didn't expect that such a beautiful lady was actually a gender-changed witch?

Witches are completely female both physically and psychologically.

Legend has it that there were many eunuchs in the Taren Palace who followed this extraordinary sequence.

Ji Xun stood there without saying anything.

Indeed, this issue has never been mentioned before.

After all, this is someone else's privacy.

As soon as these words were spoken, it seemed as if some subtle embarrassment was dissipated.

Ji Xun also secretly thought that this person was very smart in handling people and things.

Griffith had learned about Chujiu's existence from Ji Xun before.

Although I haven't seen it, I have actually guessed it a little bit.

To be considered a close friend by Ji Xun, there must be some qualities that resonate with him.

Griffith is actually very optimistic about Chujiu's lineage even though there is no descendant of Augustus in power.

Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, many of my previous thoughts have been confirmed.

But Griffith didn't say much.

After we got to know each other, we talked mostly about gossip.

For example, the ancient palace legends that have been passed down for three thousand years.

For example, how the last emperor "Mad King" Alduin turned from a wise ruler into a tyrant, how the Moon Queen Montini was so beautiful that she fascinated everyone, and how the high priest Nan Shenyu had great magical powers.
These powerful men who once ruled a great empire left many vivid marks in history.

Although Chujiu and Nanjing have special identities, due to the lack of civilization, they have never heard of those stories.

And unlike Ji Xun, the observer,
What the two heard were stories about their ancestors.

Although I have never seen it, it is the origin that flows in my blood.

Ji Xun was also listening with great interest.

History is really like a thousand-layer cake. The same historical truth seen from different angles is different for the same period of time.

After all, Griffith's ancestor was a palace eunuch, and the story she told was even more true than the historical records.

Like reminiscing about the past, he slowly tells those unknown stories.

We chatted like this for a long time.

With this relationship passed down from their ancestors, the atmosphere of the chat quietly became very warm. Nan Jing was more cheerful, and she would even occasionally take the initiative to ask some questions.

Although Chujiu didn't say anything, he listened very carefully.

As they chatted, the few of them no longer felt the strangeness of their first meeting.

Instead, there is a special kind of friendship that binds us together from ancient times.

But suddenly, an accident happened.

Griffith's expression changed as he spoke.

She seemed to be trying hard to suppress something, but she couldn't hold back the burning sensation in her throat and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Nan Jing glanced at the chaotic aura leaking out of her body when she vomited blood just now, frowned and said: "Your injuries are very serious."

Griffith, however, looked unconcerned and said, "Yeah, it's just an old injury. It's not a big deal."

Others didn't know that the injuries on her body were not just from the previous encirclement.

There are also old injuries from before.

Nan Jing has been working part-time as a doctor. She doesn't think this is a big problem, and said bluntly: "But... I sense that there is a very chaotic high-level law of order corroding your body. Although you are now relying on your strong strength to suppress the injury, if you don't deal with it, it will definitely get worse, especially if you continue to get injured."

Griffith was slightly surprised when he heard that Nan Jing saw the true condition of his injury at a glance, and then smiled and said, "As expected of you, you are Priest Nan. I have seen many doctors for my injury, and many of them didn't even understand my injury."

As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows and glanced at Ivan who was sleeping in Ji Xun's pocket. She explained with a slightly helpless tone, "I had a fight with the Pope of the Holy See, Polarante A. Russell. I got this injury. 'Order' is also a high-level law. This kind of injury is difficult to completely heal except by time."

The last time she kidnapped Ivan, she didn't get away so easily.

Instead, he was chased for more than half a month by seven or eight top masters, including the Pope of the Holy See.

Although he finally escaped, he was seriously injured.

Ji Xun also looked solemn as he listened.

Only then did we realize that the leader of the Rebel Dragon Army actually had such a serious old injury.

Griffith didn't care at all. Instead, he said, "But that guy's situation is no better than mine. Otherwise, he wouldn't be hiding in the Vatican headquarters and not daring to go out recently."

"."

When Ji Xun heard this, he guessed a lot.

Few people in the Rebel Dragon Army probably knew that Griffith had a hidden injury.

After all, he is the leader. Speaking out problems that cannot be solved will only affect morale and be meaningless.

The fact that she was surrounded and hunted before was not just a coincidence, but most likely a deliberate hunt by the Holy See.

If this hidden injury could be treated, it would have been resolved long ago.

Obviously, no.

Several people present could think of it.

Nan Jing wanted to help, but her current ability was not enough to deal with such high-level law injuries. "Sorry, I... I can't solve it either."

Griffith said with relief: "It's all right for now."

But just as she said this, Chujiu, who had been silent until then, spoke up: "Captain Griffith, if you don't mind, I have some holy water here that should be able to heal your injuries."

As she spoke, she took out a silver cup filled with holy water that was glittering all over.

"The Sithmark Grail?"

Griffith's eyes froze as he looked at her.

She had obtained intelligence before and knew that the four royal sacred artifacts were in the hands of Ji Xun's friends.

But what surprised her was that Chujiu, with the Holy Grail in his hand, exuded an indescribable imperial aura from his whole body!

Supremely majestic, yet benevolent and amiable.

Even though Griffith is now at the ninth level, he is still inexplicably impressed by this aura.

She knew that most of this power came from the Holy Grail, the royal sacred vessel.

But it can activate the power of the royal sacred artifact, which means that the holder's royal destiny has been formed and recognized by the Holy Grail!

Griffith thought of too many things at once and was rarely stunned.

When she came to her senses, she saw that the silver-haired Chujiu had already handed the Holy Grail in mid-air.

Looking at the still water in the crystal cup, a complex look flashed across her eyes.

Of course she knew about the water from the Holy Grail of Sithmark, which was said to be able to heal all injuries and remove negative conditions.

This holy water is one of the few things in the world that can heal her current injuries.

I didn’t expect to be so lucky that it happened right in front of me?

Griffith looked again and saw pure eyes in the silver-haired girl's eyes.

Handing over the Holy Grail, without any other motive.

Only sincerity.

Chujiu saw that the other party didn't take it, and explained one more sentence: "My ability to get the recognition of the Holy Grail and condense these holy waters is also directly related to the [Imperial Canonization Secret Book] that your organization sent me a few days ago."

He has a cold personality and doesn't speak tactfully.

But the meaning is conveyed.

Ji Xun was watching from the side and was not surprised that Chujiu would do such a thing.

He also knew that his friend gave him the holy water not for any other reason but simply because he didn't want to owe him a favor.

Just like when they first met in space 407, that girl never liked to owe favors to others.

If you owe something, you will definitely pay it back.

What's more, holy water is renewable.

Although I don’t know how long it will take to condense a cup, but now that the royal destiny of the ninth day has condensed, there will definitely be more in the future.

Furthermore, there must be some other relics in these ruins that embody the dynasty’s fortune.

"Your Highness, please just call me by my name."

Griffith certainly understood everything.

The crystal waves in the Holy Grail were reflected in her crystal eyes, and she seemed to be thinking about something.

It seems as if some important historical moment is taking place.

For a moment, it seemed as if time had stopped for two breaths.

Suddenly, the seriousness on Griffith's face disappeared.

She stood up with a smile, performed an ancient court etiquette again, and gladly took the Holy Grail: "Thank you, Princess."

At her current level, some people can see through her at a glance.

Chujiu frowned slightly, still not used to the title, but it seemed not so strange anymore.

Ji Xun watched from the side.

Suddenly I had a very strange feeling.

It was as if some unreal images appeared before my eyes.

History and reality overlap.

A similar scene seemed to have been staged in the Taren Palace three thousand years ago.

But at that time, it was King Augustus and some other important officials.

It's now Chujiu and Griffith.

Griffith did not hesitate, took the Holy Grail and drank the holy water in one gulp.

In an instant, a holy silver light surged from her body.

At the same time, the paleness and fatigue on that beautiful face instantly disappeared.

Even some hidden wounds that had been accumulating for many years were swept away.

Ji Xun had experienced this feeling before and knew that it was the healing power of the holy water that cured the stubborn illness and hidden injuries.

In the blink of an eye, Griffith looked "brand new", with his eyes sparkling.

She was already extremely beautiful, and now it seemed as if she had been given an extra layer of filter, making her look radiant and beautiful.

Correct!
The whole person is glowing!
Griffith himself also felt the new state of his body.

She had never felt so good.

This holy water not only healed her hidden injuries, but also eliminated all the hidden dangers left over from her extraordinary advancement over the years.

At this moment, Griffith felt more relaxed than ever before.

There is also a powerful and surging extraordinary power in the body!

Ji Xun, Chu Jiu and Nan Jing also looked at the glowing Griffith in front of them, their eyes froze.

I could vaguely feel how powerful a ninth-level card master in his prime was.

However, the strange vision was submerged in an instant, and Griffith restrained the overflowing extraordinary light.

She looked at Chujiu, then at Ji Xun and Nan Jing. This top expert said sincerely, "Thank you."

At this moment, she seemed to see the fulfillment of some of the fortune-telling stories she had once consulted the blind prophet about.

This thank you means a lot.

Ji Xun smiled and shook his head, not thinking it was his credit.

Ji Xun had received a lot of help from the Rebel Dragon Army before, but this was at most a favor.

There's nothing to be pretentious about.

Instead, he thought of something else.

Griffith was a bit passive due to his previous injury, but now that his injury has suddenly healed, the situation has changed again.

The leader of the Rebel Dragon Army obviously shared the same idea as him.

You can say thank you later.

But at present, we can fully take advantage of this information gap and make a big move!

Griffith's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said, "Those guys in the Holy See probably didn't expect that my injuries have healed now."
