Cataclysm King

Chapter 490: Warcraft Attacks the Camp
"senior."

Mrs. Mist, her face covered by a cloak, walked over and greeted Old Man Xu respectfully.

"???"

Old Man Xu was stunned again.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across the dark old face.

It was as if he was wondering why he kept meeting people who knew him but he couldn't remember who they were.

The old man asked, "Well, do we know each other?"

Even with her face covered, Mrs. Mist's soft voice still sounded somewhat charming. She chuckled and said, "Have you forgotten? You have been to my manor before. But that was a long, long time ago."

Others might not think there was anything wrong with these words, but when Ji Xun, who was standing by, heard these words, his eyes twitched inexplicably.

manor
Could it be the manor in the other-dimensional space of "Black Crow Castle"?
But that was more than 100,000 years ago.

Could it be that Old Man Xu had met Mrs. Mist tens of thousands of years ago?
When Ji Xun thought about the [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet] he saw at the foot of the cliff of Black Crow Castle in the other dimension, it was really possible.

But no matter how you think about it, it gives people a sense of absurdity.

It's really outrageous that two people have survived from the end of the Chaos Era to the present.

Mrs. Mist greeted Old Man Xu. She seemed to have recognized Ji Xun a long time ago. She tilted her head to look at him, with an ambiguous smile in her crystal eyes: "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 his high stool very gentlemanly and said, "Mrs. Mist, 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 notices to crack down on heretics, and he has long known that there are vampires active in the Dead Zone.

What she didn't expect was that she would dare to come so brazenly now that there was a cardinal in the camp.

He is indeed very courageous.

"Thank you~"

Mrs. Mist was not polite either. She habitually gathered up her pastor skirt, which didn't need to be so particular, and sat down on the stool gracefully.

She looked at Ji Xun and joked, "We met at the Parkway Theatre that day, and I thought you would come to me later to reminisce about the past. I even prepared some good wine, but I waited for half the night in vain."

It sounds like a sad and empty noblewoman, which is very touching.

But Ji Xun knew it was a joke, so he smiled and said, "Next time for sure."

"Ha~"

Mrs. Mist raised her eyebrows and smiled coquettishly, as if she also found the scumbag's answer interesting.

She glanced at Qin Rushi and said, "The girl is really beautiful~ No wonder."

Ji Xun didn't explain and just smiled.

Qin Rushi listened without saying anything, but she felt the word "little girl" was a little strange.

Judging from the voice, this woman should not be much older than me.

But after glancing at Ji Xun's expression, he seemed to understand something.

Anyone who can be involved with this Senior Xu must have a complicated background.

Although everyone knew what was going on, the atmosphere was still a bit weird.

Ji Xun asked, "Why is Mrs. Mist here?"

Of course he knew that the Countess was not here to see him.

There is only one possibility: Xie Guozhong is not convenient to show up, and this Mrs. Mist came to discuss serious matters with old man Xu.

"Oh, seeing you, I almost forgot about the business."

Mrs. Mist patted her chest, which was still majestic even though it was hidden in her loose robe. She asked the bartender to serve the wine, and then talked to Old Man Xu about business: "Senior, I want to ask you for divination."

When Old Man Xu heard this, he didn't care whether he knew her or not. He looked like a charlatan who would never let go of any business that came to him. He immediately greeted her warmly, "Oh, that's easy. What are you fortune-telling for, young lady?"

As he spoke, he patted his chest and started boasting, "I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to divination, I am the most experienced fortune teller in this camp. I can tell fortunes about good and bad luck, fortune, marriage, pendulums, tarot cards, poker, numerology, and astrology. I am not an expert at all of them, but I know a thing or two about them."

He did not even hold back his voice, and the drinkers nearby could hear his voice with disdain: Wasn't this guy just an intelligence businessman? Why is he a fortune teller now?

Old is indeed the oldest, but fortune telling
Every fortune teller on the market is a scammer.

As soon as they heard the words "proficient in everything", they had already decided that this person was definitely a liar.

Mrs. Mist seemed to believe it very much. After listening to what Old Man Xu said, she agreed: "Yes. I didn't believe it back then. Now that your divination has come true, I realize how shallow my knowledge was back then."

When Ji Xun heard this, he felt that she was hinting at something.

Mrs. Mist didn't say anything more. She just handed over a gold coin and asked, "Senior, I want to ask about good and bad luck."

"Oh, that's easy to say."

Old Man Xu couldn't take his eyes off the gold coins, so he said casually, "Girl, are you here to explore the forest for treasure? You know, this is deep in the Warcraft Forest, full of dangers, especially since many top-level Warcraft have appeared in the secret realm recently, so the risk is very high."

Others who heard this nonsense thought it was completely worthless.

Who doesn't know that the Warcraft Forest is dangerous? Isn't this bullshit?

However, Mrs. Mist frowned as she listened.

After a moment of silence, she seemed to have learned some unconventional rules from somewhere, and silently took out a few more gold coins and placed them on the bar, and asked, "Is there any way to avoid the risk?"

Sure enough, as soon as this action was performed, Old Man Xu's eyes lit up.

I have to say that this old man is very professional.

After he took the money, 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: "Miss, you are lucky to have met me. If you really encounter fatal danger, the southeast can help you out."

As soon as these words came out, the uneasiness that lingered between Mrs. Mist's brows finally dissipated, and she said solemnly: "Thank you."

Others could only laugh at what they heard.

As Ji Xun and Qin Rushi listened, a hint of thought appeared in their eyes.

Mrs. Mist completely ignored the looks from the others. She asked the bartender to serve more wine and said, "An old friend of yours asked me to say hello to you. This is the wine he said he would treat you to. I also want to ask you if the thing he is looking for is in this camp."

Old Man Xu was stunned: "My old friend? What is that?"

Mrs. Mist didn't respond, she just looked at him.

A drunk man not far away couldn't stand it anymore and laughed, "Hey, old man, you can tell fortunes, so why are you asking people what they are looking for?"

These conversations were heard by everyone.

But what I heard was completely different from the original intention of the conversation between the two.

Old man Xu was choked by this and his face was full of embarrassment.

He quickly raised his glass and pretended to drink a glass to cover it up.

The little eyes turned, as if he immediately had an idea.

He put down his wine glass and picked up three gold coins and tossed them casually. Looking at the pattern of two heads and a flower, he said, "Well, if you are determined to find it, you can find it no matter what it is. Judging from the results of divination, you can find what you are looking for."

It didn't say in the camp, nor did it say not in the camp.

This is a common tactic used by charlatans.

Say something ambiguous and let the customers make their own decision.

If you guess right, then it’s the divination that’s right; if you guess wrong, then it’s your own misunderstanding.

What Old Man Xu said is completely in line with this approach.

Hearing this, the drinkers nearby sneered even more and were no longer interested in listening to the meaningless rhetoric of this liar.

"Ah."

But after hearing this, Mrs. Mist nodded seriously and asked, "We have just arrived at the camp and want to go on an adventure. When do you think it would be a good time to go?"

Old Man Xu said immediately: "Everything must be prepared. It will take at least three to five days, right?"

"Thanks for the advice."

Mrs. Mist asked three questions and had no intention of asking any more.

He turned around, 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 agent and guide. If you need anything, we can talk more."

"No."

Mrs. Mist: "I'll ask you for advice when I have a chance."

When they met tens of thousands of years ago, the old man erected a stone tablet at the seal. At that time, she didn't know how powerful he was.

When I see it again now, I no longer have any contempt for it.

She knew very well that the more questions she asked, the greater the cause and effect involved.

Walked decisively.

Turning around, Mrs. Mist glanced at Ji Xun and said teasingly, "Handsome boy, I will be in the camp for the next two days. When can we make an appointment to have a good chat alone~"

Ji Xun didn't take it seriously, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Yeah. I'll definitely do it next time."

Mrs. Mist smiled charmingly.

Without saying anything more, he turned and left the pub.

Mrs. Mist came and left before she even had time to sit down.

Ji Xun fell into deep thought.

To others, the conversation just now seemed like some insignificant things, but he captured a lot of key points in his mind.

1. Xie Guozhong is nearby; 2. Something the Scarlet Cult is looking for is in the camp; 3. They will take action in three days.

Before, Ji Xun was still wondering what was sealed in the coffin brought by the cardinal.

Now it seems that it is most likely the "mysterious giant hand" of the Royal Academy.

After all, Xie Guozhong, or the 'Scarlet Corruption·Saiatis' in his body, was heading for that big hand.

If you want to take that hand out, you need a carrier that can hold it.

That's what a coffin is for.

This must be a top secret of the Vatican.

It was because of Ivan that Ji Xun found out there was a coffin in the convoy.

The Scarlet Cult probably didn't know about the Church's "secret weapon." At least they weren't sure.

That's why Mrs. Mist came to tell fortunes.

Then she got some directional answers from Old Man Xu.

In ancient times, many wars required "prophets" and "priests" to predict the dates.

Ji Xun smelled some ancient rules in the conversation just now.

He had previously thought that the camp would be the main battlefield, but it was just an inference.

Now that I have met Mrs. Mist, it is basically confirmed.

After Mrs. Mist left, Ji Xun and Qin Rushi did not stay in the tavern for long. Now that they were sure that Old Man Xu was in the camp, it would be easy to find him.

The two walked on the street, Ji Xun's thoughts still immersed in deduction.

As he walked, he looked at Qin Rushi beside him and suddenly asked, "Aunt Qin, are you curious about the origins of Mrs. Mister?"

Qin Rushi said calmly: "There is a smell of decay on that woman. It feels to me that she should have lived for at least several hundred years. Is she a vampire?"

Ji Xun was also surprised that she could see so much, but he shook his head and said, "Yes, she is a vampire. However, she has lived for not a few hundred years, but more than a hundred thousand years."

Hearing this, Qin Ru was stunned, really surprised: "Ah???"

"Yeah. The first time I saw her was in another dimension."

Ji Xun knew that there was a knowledgeable immortal behind Qin Rushi, so he also wanted to speak it out so that more people could refer to it.

He then told everyone what he had thought of before, as well as a series of related clues.

Qin Rushi listened very carefully. There was so much important information hidden in the conversation in the tavern just now that she had not seen.

As they walked, they arrived at the restaurant they had been to before.

Several cadres of the revolutionary army are still waiting here.

A few guys who were waiting bored were leaning against the window, looking at something exciting.

Bonnie looked at Qin Rushi and the other two and said, "The captain is back."

The others also looked over, but their eyes were still looking out the window.

Qin Rushi asked, "What are you looking at?"

Bonnie gossiped: "Look, Captain, your suitor is bullying others by taking advantage of his power."

"???"

Qin Rushi also found it strange when she heard it. What did this have to do with anything?

Ji Xun also looked out the window.

I happened to see Young Master William from the King's Knight Mercenaries leading a team to patrol the camp.

They seemed to have encountered a suspicious person, and then a conflict broke out between the two sides.

The other party in the conflict was a small adventure group of seven or eight people.

The King's Knights blocked off the alley, so the people watching outside couldn't see the excitement.

But Ji Xun and his friends on the second floor could see clearly.

The conflict was over, but some people were injured and bleeding.

It looked like a normal procedure of checking suspicious persons, searching, arresting people, and taking them back for interrogation.

Similar things happen many times every day at the Firefly Camp.

Some are innocent, some have real problems. These are not worth paying attention to.

Just because the one who took the lead in arresting people was Captain William, the revolutionary army became spectators.

"Hey, even though that blonde girl has a freckled face, she's still pretty iconic."

"I heard that some senior clergy in the Holy See are pedophiles, especially some old guys. I think the investigation of suspicious persons is fake. It is possible that they were arrested by the archbishop."

"Yes. I heard in the tavern before that the newly arrived Bishop Fedor has a bad reputation."

"."

Everyone watched and murmured.

The dragon race is lustful, and so are the dragon descendants. There are many kinds of chaos in the southern continent.

Originally it was just a look.

But it's different now.

Ji Xun had previously guessed that William might be a member of the Church of Light, so any action of this guy might have a motive.

His mind was trying to figure out whether the public security incident in front of him was related to other incidents. He saw the blonde girl among the arrested people out of the corner of his eye, and his pupils shrank slightly: "Huh?"

His ability to remember things by sight made him feel familiar at first sight.

Although there are some changes, isn't this the transformed Princess Sofia?
Not many people have seen her transformed appearance, but coincidentally, Ji Xun had seen her before in the alternate dimension of Black Crow Castle.

"The Holy Lady of Light is here too?"

In an instant, Ji Xun had guessed the whole reason for this incident.

It seemed like an unexpected incident, but it was actually a deliberate plan to send Princess Sofia to the magic tower.

In order for many things to be reasonable, we have to prepare some public opinion in advance.

For example, everyone in the revolutionary army has heard about the work style issues of the Vatican’s top leaders.

Regardless of whether Bishop Fedor had problems with his conduct, now that his subordinates knew his boss's habits, it was only natural to send a few young girls over.

"Hey, this is going to be lively."

Ji Xun's eyes were misty.

I just met Mrs. Mist, and now the Holy Lady of Light appears.

If it wasn't a coincidence, the Church of Light and the Church of Scarlet have joined forces?
But why did Old Man Xu say three days later?

Three days passed by.

Because he guessed what might happen, Ji Xun has been observing everything in the camp these days.

But there was no unusual movement from either the Scarlet Sect or the Light Sect.

There was nothing special happening in the camp except that more and more people were coming.

Until noon on the third day.

Although I know something unexpected might happen today, I still have to eat.

The few of them went to a familiar restaurant and chose a seat by the window where they could see the camp gate and had their meal as usual.

At noon, the restaurant was crowded.

While eating, Ji Xun chatted with Qin Rushi and others, and his eyes were watching the people coming in and out of the camp gate.

He tried his best to memorize every face he had seen, and deduced the fate lines of different colors in his mind.
I've seen countless people these days.

Ji Xun also discovered a lot of interesting things.

For example, some small adventure groups are obviously wild groups, but they actually have high-level card masters with hidden auras;

Like some inconspicuous mercenary group of caravans, they are actually royal knights in a new set of armor;
There are a lot more.

Ji Xun saw that there were many officials from the Arel Empire.

In comparison, the "unknown forces" are much more sophisticated in their covert methods.

In short, the Firefly Camp is now a mixed bag, and it looks like a storm is about to come.

Ji Xun didn’t think that the people in the Holy See didn’t know about this.

Even the various parties involved in the game were well aware of the impending conflict.

The Holy See is fishing with bait;

The other parties wanted to eat the bait and the people together.
Now all parties are gathering strength and preparing for a war.

It all depends on who has better means.

Ji Xun didn't know what he could see.

I would glance at him from time to time.

However, as we watched, another caravan stretching for several miles entered the camp in a mighty procession.

There are thousands of people.

Ji Xun took a quick glance and suddenly seemed to see something.

Sweep back again.

Only then did I see clearly.

In the team, a sword-wielding boy followed the rhyming team of the caravan and entered the Firefly Camp at a leisurely pace.

Ji Xun saw the young man with starry eyes and sword-like eyebrows. No wonder he felt very familiar. He looked at him twice more before confirming, "Che Er?"

It was none other than Old Man Xu's little follower, Che Er.

I haven't seen him for a long time. The young man now has a heroic look between his brows.

However, when he saw him, Ji Xun suddenly realized why Old Man Xu said he had to wait until today.

The intuition in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, just as the caravan entered the camp, the guards on the watchtower seemed to have discovered something and shouted, "Monsters are attacking the camp! Monsters are attacking the camp!"

The sound of horns resounded throughout the camp, and the crowd on the street suddenly became restless.

Ji Xun and Qin Ru looked at each other. It’s finally here!

The other revolutionary army cadres could no longer contain their anticipation and had their hands on their weapons.

Seeing the camp become noisy at the same time, their eyes all looked at Ji Xun, their expressions filled with surprise: Are monsters really attacking the camp?

The beginning of the plot is exactly the same as the script speculated a few days ago.
