Cataclysm King

Chapter 469 Artifact [Sun Wheel]

The plots in different dimensions are usually the key nodes of some real historical events.

Judging from the clues Ji Xun had obtained from Yinshan Village before, it was most likely that the Black Crow Castle was destroyed by the Church of Light.

In order to control the pollution of pagan beliefs, the story of vampires could not be passed down.

This is also the origin of various "legends" among the villagers.

And judging from the current situation, if tonight's plot continues to develop, either all the visitors to the castle will be sacrificed to the Scarlet Lord, or the vampires will be wiped out by the Church of Light.

Countess Mist seems to be very interested in Ji Xun, her new relative, and plans to take him to see the secrets of the castle?
Ji Xun looked flattered.

But he also secretly thought that his tactic of directly confronting the big boss was indeed efficient.

In this way, he seemed to have direct access to the deepest secrets of the castle.

Mrs. Mist changed into a sexy long skirt that was slit to the thighs, put on a dark red cape, and walked out the door.

At the door, the maid named 'Ilsa' was waiting outside. She looked at the two people coming out and said, "Master."

She caught a glimpse of Ji Xun out of the corner of her eye again. She sniffed and smelled the faint scent of blood, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

She also didn't expect that her master would so quickly turn this handsome man into his own kind.

Ji Xun still had the same carefree smile on his face. When he passed by the maid, he flirted with her, causing her to glance at him in a moment of reproach.

Mrs. Mist noticed it, of course, but didn't care at all.

An old vampire who has lived for hundreds of years, what kind of scenes has he not seen?

Lust is just a little spice to pass the long days.

She ordered, "It's almost time. I'm going to the secret room, you guys prepare the blood feast."

When the maid heard this, a strange red light appeared in her eyes, and she said excitedly: "Yes, Master."

Ji Xun followed Mrs. Mist all the way to the study in the castle.

There is a huge oil painting in the study, which shows a middle-aged nobleman wearing mutton trousers.

Mrs. Mist introduced: "This is Count Wushan, my husband from two hundred years ago. The person I loved the most. Unfortunately, he died at the hands of the Holy See of Light."

Ji Xun listened and took another look.

If you dig deeper into this sentence alone, you might uncover a hidden branch of why Mist lived for two hundred years.

Maybe there is some hidden treasure as a reward.

However, Ji Xun has no interest in this kind of branch line now.

At this time, Mrs. Mist activated a secret door next to the fireplace, and in an instant a hexagram magic circle lit up on the oil painting.

“So there is a secret passage.”

Ji Xun looked at the secret passage that appeared behind the mural, his eyes narrowed slightly.

If the castle owner hadn't led us here, it would have taken a lot of effort to find it.

Whether it is the encryption method or the hidden location, this is not something that a first-level card master can understand.

This is not just a simple physical secret passage, there is also a complex magical barrier.

When Ji Xun looked at the complexity of the magic patterns, he knew that this was definitely not something that a low-level card master could create. It must be the work of that outer god.

He pretended to be surprised and asked, "Madam, what is this?"

Mrs. Mist said, "Let's go. This is the biggest secret of Black Crow Castle, the secret about the origin of the vampires."

"It's an honor~"

Ji Xun didn't say anything else, but he had actually guessed what was inside.

The two walked into the secret passage, and a bloody smell instantly hit them.

The cave seemed to hide the most evil power in the world, an indescribable dark force that sent chills down one's spine.

Following the damp stairs all the way down, silver gradually appeared on the surrounding walls.

Ji Xun was very familiar with this scene.

Isn't this the Mithril Seal?

The secret passage is very rough, and it looks like it took a lot of effort to dig it out bit by bit.

Ji Xun did not hide his curiosity along the way, looking around at the sealing runes that appeared one after another on the rock wall.

Although I knew them, many of them had been seen in the seal in the Eastern Wasteland. Most of them were magic patterns that suppressed the leakage of dark energy and banned magic.

We walked a long way down the road.

Ji Xun estimated that he had walked at least one or two kilometers and arrived deep in the mountain.

The walls here are already covered with high-purity mithril, reflecting dazzling silver light under the illumination of the magic lamp.

The air here is also filled with a strong and highly polluting blood energy.

It was also fortunate that Ji Xun had been transformed into a vampire, otherwise his body would not be able to bear the mere contact with the blood mist.

After walking through the narrow secret passage, suddenly, the view finally became clear.

The first thing that catches your eye is the huge pyramid that is nearly thirty stories high.

“It’s really the same.”

Ji Xun couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the look on his face.

But I also felt an inexplicable emotion in my heart, as this one was almost exactly the same as the one in the Eastern Wilderness.

It seems that when the Bai family's ancestors sealed 'Scarlet Corruption·Saiatis', they also borrowed the sealing formation of the ancients.

Same pyramid structure, same scene.

Some thick blood overflowed from the cracks in the pyramid and gathered into a huge pool of blood below.

If nothing unexpected happens, the crack on the jar has existed since this era.

It is precisely because of the cracks on the jar that the Outer God Sayidis can escape from time to time and make some noise.

Next to the blood pool, there are more than a dozen vampire servants, and it seems that the strongest one is at the third level.

This is already an unsolvable problem in this different dimension.

Ji Xun looked at him and sighed in his heart, with that kind of fighting power, all the trial participants combined couldn't beat him.

At the same time, he was also very curious about what the "person behind the scenes" was going to do.

Now it seems that the biggest possibility is to borrow the power of the Church of Light.

But a foreign god sect that has been destroyed for tens of thousands of years has few things left. How can
As Ji Xun was thinking, a line of logic suddenly connected in his mind, and an idea flashed across his mind.

He seemed to have figured something out: "Hey, could it be that those guys are the remnants of the Illuminati?"

The person behind the scenes paid such a huge price and wanted to cause trouble in this trial.

There is only one chance, if you go out, the truth will be exposed.

So even though they are not 100% sure, they are at least very confident that they can achieve their goal.

But this is an S-level plot after all. Who dares to guarantee a pass?

The only possibility is that they knew what would happen in this plot in advance.

And it can easily borrow some super plot power.

Thinking about it this way, the most reasonable explanation is "the remnants of the Church of Light".

And the motivation is right.

The Alterac civilization was the civilization before the Arel Empire, so it is most reasonable that the remnants of the previous dynasty would have conflicts with this dynasty.

Of course, the current Arel Empire has god-level dragons.

There is another prerequisite for those remnants to restore the country, that is, the gods of the Alterac civilization are not dead?
Thinking of this, Ji Xun's thoughts suddenly opened up.

A huge smell of conspiracy hit me in the face.

He vaguely guessed the root cause of the recent chaos in the southern continent.

As soon as Mrs. Mist arrived, the vampire servants immediately saluted respectfully.

The countess was arrogant and indifferent in front of the maid: "How is the sacrifice?"

The burly vampire in the lead responded: "Master, it's done. The light divinity in her has been polluted. The last step is to sacrifice her, and then the great Seadis will descend."

After hearing this, Ji Xun thought to himself that it was indeed true.

No matter what era, all these believers of foreign gods think about is reviving the gods they are loyal to.

This plot is totally unoriginal.

Ji Xun guessed the whole process as soon as he heard the beginning.

He followed the direction indicated by the vampires and saw a stone platform in the mist above the blood pool.

A naked blonde girl was lying on the stone platform.

But the magical thing is that even in this extremely filthy pool of blood, she still radiates a holy golden light.

Just with this one glance, enlightenment appeared.

"B-rank hidden mission completed: Search for the missing Saint of Light. The Saint of the Western Church of Light disappeared. It turned out that she was kidnapped by vampires and became a carrier of the Outer God."

Ji Xun looked at Qidi and felt inexplicably amused.

Sure enough, following the big boss, any NPC you see is a B-level hidden mission.

As for that so-called saint, he knew better than anyone else that this was the "body of God."

The resurrected god needs a carrier that can carry his divine power.

But ordinary people can't do it.

As a carrier of God, the body of a person must be very special, preferably able to carry the power of God.

Ji Xun had encountered such existence more than once, such as several gods from the Silver Moon Sect.

The girl lying on the stone platform in front of me is the Saint of the Church of Light, so it is obvious that she has met all the requirements.

And in an instant, Ji Xun also knew the purpose of Mrs. Mist bringing him here.

Not for any gift of pleasure.

Instead,

She had chosen herself as the spare "body of God".

Ji Xun's body is a character with tolerance and affinity for all elements, and he is also a virgin with pure blood.

Although it is slightly inferior to that saint, it is completely sufficient as a backup.

Mrs. Mist said to Ji Xun without further ado, "Nicholas, you are right here. When the sacrifice at the manor above begins, the power of the seal will descend from the seal. At that time, all of us will be baptized by the blood of Lord Xingsaiatis, and you may be favored by Lord God."

"It was an honor."

Ji Xun looked fanatical.

This is not entirely an act, but rather the result of bloodline suppression by the vampires. Higher-level vampires can control everything about their followers.

Ji Xun didn't know what was going on in the manor above.

But if nothing unexpected happens, there will be a river of blood.

The sacrifice required a large amount of fresh blood, and those people were doomed to die from the moment they entered the manor.

Once you get involved in an S-level plot, the probability of death is extremely high.

Ji Xun didn't think much about it.

His teammates are quite strong, and if anyone can survive in the end, they have a greater chance.

Moreover, there is a "Zhuo Sha" whose origins are unknown, and Ji Xun feels that there are more variables.

However, after Ji Xun took a quick look around, he was a little surprised: Could it be that they were the only ones participating in the plot? What about those people from the Red Dragon Royal Family?

Since they triggered this S plot, but now they haven't shown their faces at all, this doesn't make sense.

However, this vampire is so powerful and is underground. Where should they start?
Ji Xun was thinking about how the subsequent plot would develop.

Whatever you think, it will come true.

Without any warning, a dark gold card with [2 of Spades] on the front and a mysterious nine-pointed star formation on the back appeared out of thin air in mid-air.

"Eh Curse God Card?"

Ji Xun recognized the card the moment he saw it.

This is one of the legendary fifty-two curse cards!
In an instant, Ji Xun realized something: "People from the Red Dragon Royal Family are here!"

The information he bought from the intelligence dealer before said that this [2 of Spades] fell into the hands of the Red Dragon Royal Family.

But I didn't expect that I would be brought into the trial space.

This card has appeared, and there is a flash of light behind it. Ji Xun sees a person jumping out from Mrs. Mist's shadow.

Ji Xun recognized this secret technique again: "The secret magic technique exclusive to the Spade 2 Thief Sequence - Divine Shadow?"

The technique is just as its name suggests, the shadow of God, invisible to mortals.

This is a top-level stealth technique that can hide in a person’s shadow.

With the help of some relics, it can even be impossible for people who are several levels higher than you to detect it.

Apparently, the Red Dragon royal family used this secret technique to successfully sneak into Black Crow Castle.

The change happened too suddenly. The black shadow that jumped out of the card didn't delay at all. He raised his hand and shot out a dark gold card of [4 of Spades] into the void.

"Another Curse God Card? Ha, you are very well prepared." When Ji Xun saw this, the corner of his eye twitched inexplicably.

It seems that the person behind the scenes has really prepared a lot of good things for this operation.

Right!

Any force that can go against the Arel Empire must have good financial resources.

As soon as this [4 of Spades] came out, the spiritual formation on it lit up, and more than a dozen people appeared out of thin air.

"Psychicism. I see."

Ji Xun didn't think it was very novel.

He had thought of this approach before.

Remote spiritualism is one of the few methods that can quickly gather people.

Moreover, the [Curse Card] can be used instantly several times to summon a team at the same time.

But the problem is, this is a vampire's lair.

The participants in this trial are all first-level students. How can they go head-on with a group of at least two third-level vampires?
Ji Xun didn't figure it out, but the battle had already begun.

Mrs. Mist beside her cursed inwardly: "Damn it!"

She was also angry that she didn't notice that there was an enemy hiding in the shadow, and she was even more angry that these guys wanted to disrupt the sacrificial ceremony.

Seeing the dozen people who suddenly appeared, Mrs. Mist instantly turned into a green-faced, fanged vampire and shouted, "Kill them!"

Seeing this, Ji Xun pretended to be frightened and quietly took half a step back.

At this moment, more than a dozen spell cards exploded in the cave, and the dazzling holy white light was like the sun piercing through the dark clouds, released temporarily in an instant.

The vampires seemed to be blinded by the flash bomb, and all kinds of terrified expressions appeared on their faces in an instant.

The holy light was like a strong acid, burning the vampire's skin, leaving charred marks.

Ji Xun looked at the postures of the dozen or so people attacking and actually had expected this scene.

Apparently, not only their Langdon family team had prepared the [Light Dispelling Spell], but also the people of the Red Dragon Royal Family.

But those guys are not found in the plot.

But it was brought from outside the space.

These guys obviously knew what they would encounter in space and had prepared everything in advance.

"Zizzi"

The holy light instantly dispelled the blood mist and illuminated the entire space.

Ji Xun couldn't escape either.

It was also thanks to him taking a half step back just now that Mrs. Mist blocked most of the holy light.

Otherwise, as a vampire of his level, he would have been burned to ashes by the holy light just now.

But this is the lair of the vampires.

Ji Xun looked at the burn scar on his arm, which had recovered visibly to the naked eye.

The divine blood energy all around is the best healing medicine. Here, as long as you don't kill the vampire instantly, you will never be able to kill it.

Therefore, Ji Xun was certain that the Red Dragon royal family would not confront them head-on, and he immediately came to the conclusion: "They are coming for the Saint Girl!"

If he could think of this, then certainly Mrs. Mist, an old vampire who had lived for hundreds of years, could too.

She also didn't see anything wrong with "Nikola"'s instinctive retreat just now. Besides, he was a backup body of God and couldn't die in the battle.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Mist shouted, "Protect the sacrifice!"

When Ji Xun heard this, he glanced at the entire battle scene and immediately realized that the guy hiding in the shadows had not yet appeared.

The cleverness of the secret art of [Divine Shadow] lies in that it allows the caster to hide in any shadow.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and said to himself: "Hey, if that's the case, then I'll help you."

Without hesitation, he turned around and ran towards the pool of blood.

Those guys are going for the Saint, and now Shadow Hide needs a carrier.

And Ji Xun planned to help them!
Because the people of the Red Dragon Royal Family have broken through, it is also good news for him.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Xun had already rushed to the stone platform in the blood pool.

At this distance, he could clearly see the naked blonde girl lying in the pool of blood.

Well, not too big or too small, and a good figure.

She has a holy and pure temperament. When blessed by the holy light, she is like white jade in the blood, without any stain.

Ji Xun just took a look and then retreated.

He didn't want to be treated as a small monster and killed with a single blow.

The moment he retreated suddenly, a magical scene appeared!
A deadly cold light flashed in the void.

If Ji Xun hadn't left, the cold light of the knife would have been enough to cut off his neck.

This avoidance, which seemed to be anticipated in advance, also caused the person in the void to let out an unexpected exclamation.

But the man didn't make another move.

Because she simply doesn't have time.

Ji Xun fell into a pool of blood, and only then did he realize that he was safe.

The battle in the sealed land broke out very fiercely, but ended very quickly.

After all, there are two third-level vampires here.

Even though the people of the Red Dragon Royal Family were well-equipped, the huge gap made it easy for the two vampires to kill most of the dozen people in no time.

However, Ji Xun knew that these were all death warriors, and the only value of their coming in was to buy time for the one hiding in the shadows.

Ji Xun was also very curious about what the other party would do.

Could it be possible to turn the tide by rescuing the saint?

Obviously not.

The guy who jumped out from Ji Xun's shadow jumped directly onto the stone platform, then took out a magic scroll in her hand, and floated above the saint face to face.

The one with red hair is none other than Princess Sophia of the Red Dragon Royal Family!

In an instant, a dazzling holy light appeared, and a silver sun divine mark appeared on the forehead of the saint on the stone platform. An indescribable light force instantly surged out of her body.

"What is this for?"

Ji Xun really couldn’t understand it. It looked like some kind of religious ritual?

This holy light activated the divine pattern, and a magical scene appeared. A sun holy seal pattern gradually appeared on the forehead of the red-haired woman.

Like photocopying?

Ji Xun suddenly realized something. Does Princess Sophia want to strip the Saint of her holy seal?
Seeing this scene, Ji Xun suddenly had an idea in his mind, and he suddenly realized: "So that's it!"

At this moment he has figured everything out.

He was very familiar with the foreign Shinto sects, and certain high-standard Shinto relics required authorization!

From the beginning to the end, Princess Sofia came here for the Holy Seal of the Sun.

Once she has this authority, she will be able to use some super-powerful relic of light to solve the problem.

In the distance, Mrs. Mist also noticed this and screamed in frustration, "Damn it, stop her!"

Unfortunately, she was held back by two heavily-armored knights and was unable to arrive immediately.

And recently Ji Xun has no intention of stopping it at all.

The next moment, enlightenment appeared.

"Congratulations on breaking the 'Sun Disc Time Mirror', and you will be rewarded with 1 A-level plot exploration."

"Discovered a sealed place, additional exploration +30%."

Almost at the same time, the surrounding scenery disappeared instantly.

As if waking up from a dream, the endless scarlet faded away, and the surrounding space was deserted with a silver glow.

Ji Xun knew that they had come out of the strange space before.

The scene before his eyes was no longer the Black Crow Castle of more than a hundred years ago, but the normal timeline of the trial space.

The pyramid is still the same pyramid, but the foul-smelling pool of blood is gone.

The stone platform is still a stone platform.

However, there was no saint lying on it, but a red-haired girl, who was Princess Sophia just now.

The most eye-catching thing is the golden disk on the top of the pyramid.

The moment Ji Xun saw the disc, he knew that this was the thing that had trapped them in that special space before.

Perhaps it was because it had just participated in the plot, the will of space inspired some information about this disc.

【Sun Wheel】

Detailed explanation: The supreme holy object of the Light Cult. Anyone standing under the sun will inevitably leave a shadow. An ancient relic that has lost its divinity, it can carry the power of the divine sun; infinite light elements gather, greatly amplifying the holder's understanding of the light law, and can absorb and gather the divine power of the light law and divine matter; a divine object that contains the mystery of time;

"Artifact?"

The moment Ji Xun looked at the disc, he immediately knew that the people of the Red Dragon Royal Family were coming for this thing.

The holy relic of the Church of Light?
Just by reading these few words, he already knew the Red Dragon Royal Family's idea of ​​how to break the impasse.

But this thing is not so easy to get.

The Black Crow Castle banquet just now was a scene restored by this holy object a hundred years ago.

And now, it is the S-level plot itself.

The virtual world was broken and everyone came out.

Of the dozen or so people in the Red Dragon royal family, except Princess Sofia, only four or five were still alive, and all of them were injured.

And in this sealed space, there is another group of forces.

The leader was a woman in a dark red cloak. Ji Xun took a glance at her and recognized her immediately after seeing her golden hair and figure. Wasn't this the Holy Maiden of Light who was lying on the stone platform before?
There were a dozen mysterious guys following her.

But at this moment, Ji Xun smelled the scent of vampires on this group of people.

After becoming a vampire, this saint's appearance has not changed at all in the past hundred years.

In an instant, the previous plot was connected.

He knew that the mysterious nobleman who had hired the hunter Chloe was the Saint of Light from a hundred years ago.

It is obvious that Black Crow Castle was indeed destroyed a hundred years ago.

But the fact is that part of the power of 'Scarlet Corruption·Seiyadis' also successfully descended.

Perhaps he was injured in the battle with the Church of Light and fled for a hundred years, and then came back to look for the seal.

This is the hidden plot of "Bandits of Black Crow Castle".

Qidi also confirmed all of Ji Xun's guesses.

"Hidden plot completed: The mysterious mercenary. The Holy Maiden of Light from a hundred years ago became a minion of the vampire, and she has to break the seal again. Participation rate 100%, reward A-level plot *1"

This is the S-level plot.

The normal main storyline is to suppress the bandits.

What they have to do now is to kill this saint who is at least at the third level.

However, Ji Xun felt that since Princess Sophia had obtained the Holy Mark of Light, it should not be a problem to deal with this former saint.

But at this time, the unexpected situation happened again.

There were hurried footsteps coming from the corridor, and it sounded like someone was coming.

Ji Xun, the members of the Red Dragon Royal Family, and the former Saint and other NPCs all looked over instinctively.

In the blink of an eye, a burly short warrior rushed in first.

With his height and familiar armor, Ji Xun recognized him at a glance even though he couldn't see his face. It was the dwarf Gang Duoduo.

Soon after, David, Seri and Gail also appeared.

Of course, there is also the solemn-looking "Zhuo Sha".

When the groups of people met in this sealed space, the atmosphere became strangely stiff for a moment.

It was as if time had stopped.

Everyone on each side was sizing each other up.

When Gang Duoduo and the others saw Ji Xun, they looked obviously happy, as if they were saying hello: We are here to save you!

At the same time, he was very confused, as if asking: What happened here?
"."

Ji Xun understood the expressions of several people and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

With the battle approaching, he felt that this was not a good time to see his teammates.

And he could also guess that it must have been Zhuo Sha who led them here.

This woman represents the Holy See, and her methods are unknown.

Now the remnants of the Holy See of Light are here
This is so exciting.
