Cataclysm King.

Chapter 488 Archbishop Xu Old Man’s Black Coffin

William came over, leaned on the bar in a casual yet gentlemanly manner, and threw a gold coin coolly: "Two glasses of gold."

 The money given far exceeds the price of the wine itself, and more is the tip for the bartender and the cost of jumping in line.

  This is the way noble men often show off their wealth and grace.

The bartender took the money and quickly served two glasses of wine enthusiastically.

William gestured and gave Qin Rushi a cup.

Then he raised his glass and asked in a tone like an acquaintance: "Oh, Commander Qin, it is so fate that we have met again."

Since Qin Ru had wine in his hand, he didn't touch the glass of Jinlim. He raised his own glass and responded politely: "Yeah."

 Because she had to drink, she didn’t wear a helmet either.

His hair was **** casually, and he only wore a soft burlap waistcoat around his neck, covering most of his face.

Even so, as long as you look closely, you can still see the surprise in that cold face.

William looked at him with a strange look in his eyes, with a smile on his face that he thought was a gentleman. There was nothing to talk about, so he took the initiative to provoke: "Ah, the Warcraft Forest is not very safe recently. Now is not a good time to go hunting. In that secret realm over there, many high-level Warcraft Captain Qin escaped for some reason. Did your journey go well?"

Qin Rushi had no interest in chatting with strangers, so she only responded: "Yeah."

William looked at this situation and was not annoyed. He continued: "I heard that Commander Qin is from Mona County in the north of the Red Dragon Kingdom? I once went there with the commander to participate in the battle, and also met with the lord Earl Barney. Once. Oh, Clemington’s blackberry wine is the best fruit wine I’ve ever had.”

Ji Xun, who was next to Qin Rushi, heard this and had an imperceptible chuckle in his eyes.

　　It sounds like a very normal pick-up line.

Talk about your hometown with the woman, and you can always find some common topics.

 But actually this is a temptation.

It’s okay if it’s a real identity, but if it’s a disguised identity, it will be difficult to continue the conversation.

This guy is very smart.

However, before William could see anything, Qin Ru showed a hint of interest and said the longest sentence since they met: "Earl Barney passed away the year before last, and now his son Barney Jr. Inherit the title. Clemington was also destroyed in the war, and now the fruit wine there is almost extinct. I haven’t drunk it for a long time.”

Since Ji Xun had thought of this flaw, he had already told Qin Ru about some customs and customs of disguising his identity.

Once he heard this, William no longer doubted anything.

The strange look in his eyes completely disappeared, and he said calmly: "Oh. That's a pity. I haven't been to the north for a long time, and I don't know about it at all. It's rare to meet by chance. If you have the honor, I would like to invite Commander Qin to join us. For dinner, my team previously hunted a very rare white deer.”

Qin Rushi: "I'm sorry. I'm a little tired when I first came to the camp, so I might take some rest first."

William: "Oh, I was rude"

I have to say that William is quite good at chatting.

 In such an awkward atmosphere, we had to chat for a long time.

Ji Xun and Bonnie were standing aside and had no intention of giving up their position to let them be alone, which made the young man even more embarrassed.

After all, he couldn’t continue chatting, so after saying “see you next time”, William wisely left.

Once the people left, the atmosphere among the three of them returned to normal.

Bonnie muttered: "What an annoying guy."

As she spoke, she raised her wine glass, looked at Ji Xun jokingly and asked, "Ji Xun, do you think so?"

 We have become familiar with each other these days.

Of course Ji Xun knew what she was joking about, and he judged it as if it was serious: "Yeah. Indeed."

Qin Ru could tell that both of them were making fun of him, so he rolled his eyes at them and asked, "What did you see?"

Bonnie shrugged, her face turned away from the casual look, and then she said: "That guy has my scent mark on him, so he must have been to the temple in Blackwater Swamp."

Bonnie, the chief poison master's ability is not only about fighting, but also has many unique secret techniques.

 They had suspected that they would be targeted before, so the temple had some means in place.

 Unexpectedly, by such a coincidence, this William has been there.

  There are not many coincidences for high-level card masters. Even if there are coincidences, they are premeditated.

 They can basically confirm that the Great Sword Group may have been noticed.

However, Ji Xun and Qin Ru's expressions were not surprising when they heard this. It is normal for a group of strong independents like them to be noticed by others during this sensitive period.

 But a sense of crisis has also come.

Boni looked slightly solemn.

Qin Rushu glanced at Ji Xun again and asked, "What do you think?"

 “It’s not a big problem.”

Ji Xun knew she wanted to ask about the risks of staying.

He pondered for a moment and gave an answer that surprised both Qin Rushi and Bonnie: "And I think that guy's identity may not be from the Holy See. He is not a vampire, so he is probably from the Holy See of Light. People."

"ah?"

This thought was so out-of-the-box that Bonnie had no idea why he would think of this.

 But the facts of these days proved that what Ji Xun said must be reliable, and she was even more surprised: "How did you tell?"

 Qin Rushi also cast a curious look.

 “guess.”

Ji Xun smiled and said: "That guy must have suspected the identity of the Great Sword Group before. After all, identity can be disguised, but temperament cannot be disguised. If you are really a loyal holy believer, then look at us appearing in the Firefly Camp. In such a special place, it might not be him, but someone from the Holy See, so I think there might be something wrong with that guy's identity."

There is a sense of righteousness in the revolutionary army, which is completely different from other mercenaries who are paid to do things.

Although it is not a flaw, it is enough to cause suspicion.

Ji Xun added: "But it's not a big problem. I didn't suspect him before, let alone now. Besides, the suspicion should be completely eliminated by now."

Different from vampires, the pagans of the Illuminati Sect are also dragon-born, but they believe in different gods, and they are more hidden.

Since Princess Sophia of the Red Dragon Kingdom could be a heretic before, so was the vice-president of the Royal Academy. It is not surprising that a mercenary group like the "King Knights" with a royal background of the Red Dragon has Illuminati cultists.

Ji Xun was sure that there must be a mixture of various forces in the current Firefly camp.

 “That’s it”

Boni thought it was reasonable when she heard it, but then asked: "Ah, is it possible that it was because of the group leader? That guy protected me because of his lust."

“Yes. But for high-level card masters, it is unlikely that this desire will defeat reason. Moreover, to achieve the goal, there are better choices.”

Ji Xun spoke of an insidious plan in the most understated tone, saying: "If I were in his position, the smarter way would be to notify the Holy See of the suspicious person as soon as possible, and then wait for the Great Sword Group to be arrested and interrogated. If there is a problem, it’s a great achievement. If there is no problem, you can use your identity to vouch for it and gain the favor of the whole group. This is much more straightforward than inviting someone to dinner.”

ˆ “.”

Qin Ru was slightly surprised when she heard the plan.

At this moment she realized how far Ji Xun was thinking.

Bonnie only felt scared, as if someone had secretly pointed a gun at the back of her head for a while, and a chill ran down her spine.

She thought of something and asked quickly: "Is it possible that he will go out and notify the Vatican people soon?"

 Coming to this mercenary camp was considered a risky move by many revolutionary army cadres.

 But because they believed in the judgment of Ji Xun and Qin Rushi, they came.

Looking at it now, it is indeed dangerous.

"Won't."

Ji Xun said with a firm tone: "Now that he has shown his face, if he turns around and we are caught, we will definitely suspect that he is related to him. Then the plan will be inferior. It is meaningless."

Qin Rushi had long understood his train of thought and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Bonnie rolled her eyes and was stunned for a moment. Then she figured out the insidiousness of the plan that Ji Xun just mentioned casually. She was surprised and said: "Ah Ji Xun, I just realized that if you do something bad, others may be plotted. I still have to thank you.”

Ji Xun smiled and said, "It's not that magical. There are a lot of such **** tricks in romance novels. You'll know if you read more."

Boni believed it and said in surprise: "Do you still read romance novels?"

Ji Xun did not blush and said decisively: "Look!"

Qin Ru smiled and said nothing.

The three of them had a drink in the tavern, and they had a general understanding of the situation in the camp.

 The "Dead Zone" is still in the development stage. The Holy See and the three kingdoms have invested a lot of personnel, financial and material resources, and the progress is still slow.

Firefly Camp has a large number of new adventurers and official legions arriving every day.

There are so many new faces like the Great Swordsmen in the camp, and in a blink of an eye they are no longer noticeable.

The Great Sword Group has been active in the forest for more than two months. It must be said that after drinking some wine, both body and mind felt happy.

The news was pretty much the same. Ji Xun planned to take a rest one night and come back tomorrow to check on the situation.

 The situation in the Dead Zone is complicated, and no good opportunities have been found yet.

 Just wait patiently.

Ji Xun, Qin Rushi and Bonnie walked down the street smelling slightly of alcohol and started wandering around.

This kind of adventurer camp must have a street market.

Firefly Camp is not surprising either.

 There are people from the Chamber of Commerce here who are cleaning goods at any time, and mercenaries and adventurers will sell some items that are inconvenient to carry on the street and pack them back lightly.

 The three of them planned to go and have a look.

 Ji Xun is also used to looking for clues at the adventurer market.

Those relics excavated from the forest do not lie, they reveal more accurate information.

 There are also a lot of people in the market, which is just behind the pub street.

 The adventurers just lay a piece of rag on the ground and put things on it to create a stall.

 The goods are also very miscellaneous, including World of Warcraft materials with a **** smell, antiques with an earthy smell, various gems, ores, herbs, beast eggs, and Warcraft cubs.

 Having everything.

 Others are buying goods.

However, in Ji Xun's eyes, what he saw was not just items, but also causal connections.

Like the roots of plants and trees, they are often hidden underground where they cannot be seen.

Ji Xun looked at the goods, and when he heard the stall owners bragging about the origin of the goods, he could immediately analyze in his mind where they were produced.

 Once countless fragments of information were gathered together, a gradually complete intelligence network was created.

 This is the ability he has developed in the Giant Spirit City in the past few months, and he is already familiar with it.

 The three of them walked along, looking around and buying some on the way.

Are there really good things on these street stalls, or are they first-hand goods? Many adventurers do not have the ability to identify some rare treasures, so the chance of missing them is very high.

Ji Xun saw a lot of ancient relics that were obviously very valuable and were being sold at street stall prices.

 As a polymath, he picked up and bought a lot.

 Qin Ru was in a good mood and wandered along.

However, Ji Xun thought that the biggest harvest tonight would be the missed goods, but unexpectedly, he suddenly heard a familiar voice among the noisy sound.

"Let me tell you, if you want to know the most about this forest, I would say second. No one dares to say first. This fluorescent forest, Burial Mountain, Moon Stream Valley, Devil's Life Cave, **** volcano and other dangerous places, I know everything about them. Chu. What? It’s not on the map? That’s normal. I have exclusive information. You know, exclusive top-secret information! It’s definitely a huge profit for me to hire a guide.”

"Hey, don't believe it. No one has known the eighth-level [Underworld Peacock] that appeared recently, right? I already know it! It is a pure-blood **** species. It is said that the powerful general under the Hell Demon King can annihilate the divine light with one hand. The key point is that after transforming into a beautiful woman, there is something to be said for her beauty."

“Old man Xu, have you really seen the same thing?”

"How come you haven't seen it before? I have seen a [Phantom Peacock] in the transformation stage before. My dear, that beauty is a real bone scraper, it can make people blind."

“Just brag. It sounds like it’s true, hahahaha”

“But having said that, although this old man boasted a lot and was a little timid, he really brought us here smoothly.”

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun listened to the voice and turned his head to look.

Not far behind him is a small adventure group wandering in the market.

 It looked like they had just arrived at the camp.

 The equipment is poor, the ranks are uneven, the group emblem is not recognized, and the professional configuration seems to be improvised.

Ji Xun only glanced at it and knew that this was an inferior adventure group.

Only this kind of adventure group dares to hire unreliable guides at low prices.

Ji Xun, on the other hand, didn't think anything of the adventure group or anything like that.

He has seen too many people who have dreams of getting rich and are ready to enter the Warcraft Forest without any strength.

However, Ji Xun's eyes twitched sharply when he looked at the old man with his front teeth gaping and spitting.

Who is this, if not old man Xu?

 Looks like this guy has assumed a new identity as an "adventure guide".

Qin Rushi also noticed the change in Ji Xun's expression and asked alertly: "What's wrong?"

Along the way, she had never seen Ji Xun show such a strange expression.

Following his gaze, Qin Rushi also saw Old Man Xu and frowned.

Ji Xun watched the old man who was so boastful walking over not far away, his deep pupils shimmering faintly, and suddenly he felt an inexplicable excitement coming over his heart, and he said: "Tsk, tsk, this person appears here. This is a big deal."

 Others thought the old man was bragging.

 But only he knows,

 What Old Man Xu blew may be that guy’s real experience.

The last time I saw him, it was near the ruins of the Behemoth Imperial City in the Old Continent. The old man disappeared inexplicably.

Ji Xun didn’t expect to meet him again here.

 But then the surprise on his expression dissipated.

    is also correct.

 Such a big scene here in the Dead Zone.

If this person didn't come, I would feel that nothing was wrong.

 Qin Rushi is not familiar with Old Man Xu, but he also knows about his existence.

 Hearing what Ji Xun just said, she looked doubtful.

Ji Xun didn't explain much and just said: "Let's go back first and explain to you slowly. This time the plan may have changed."

  Can't explain clearly in a few words,

 But every time he met Old Man Xu, no matter what happened, many people would die.

  Ji Xun did not choose to say hello to Old Man Xu.

 First, because he was involved with the members of the Great Sword Regiment.

Furthermore, he felt that if he was still interested in the Dead Realm, he would encounter it again sooner or later.

 So don’t be in a hurry.

Even though he was just seeing a friend, Ji Xun's mind seemed to be flooded with a huge amount of information, and he suddenly became confused.

 He planned to go back to collect his thoughts.

Ji Xun’s original plan was that everyone in the Great Sword Regiment would rest in the camp for a few days, then look at the situation and decide whether to continue exploring deep into the Dead Zone.

 But the next day, except for Qin Rushi and a few sixth-level cadres of the revolutionary army, everyone else left the camp early in the morning.

 After Ji Xun and Qin Rushi discussed it, the team planned to move in two groups.

 A group of them are high-level combatants who continue to monitor the situation in the camp and wait for opportunities;

There is still a group of fourth- and fifth-level backbones, so we will go back and hunt monsters in other places in the forest, and we will also make preparations for the follow-up.

 Although their level is a little lower, their team strength is still very strong.

 With Ji Xun’s planned route, the risk is not too great.

 At least the risk is much smaller than staying in the camp.

 Old Xu’s appearance is a sign of risk assessment for Ji Xun.

Ji Xun didn’t know what would happen, but he was extremely sure that the Dead Zone would be very dangerous in the future.

In order to avoid cause and effect as much as possible, he did not give a detailed explanation to the members of the Great Sword Group about Old Man Xu, and only talked about his "intuition".

This reason is far-fetched no matter who you tell it to.

 But including Qin Rushi, all the people in the Great Sword Group had no doubts about his judgment.

 He said there was danger, and everyone left without hesitation.

 Most of the people in the Great Sword Group were gone, and Ji Xun suddenly felt relaxed.

Both Qin Rushi and the cadres have experienced countless fierce battles of life and death, and they have long been aware of facing death.

Ji Xun has no worries about the remaining people.

 Life in the camp is very leisurely.

After parting ways with his teammates, Ji Xun, Qin Rushi and Bonnie wandered around the camp to get information.

 There are pubs and restaurants in the camp.

 Although the price is a bit expensive, fortunately the ingredients are very fresh, and they are all rare monster meat.

noon.

Next to the window on the second floor of the restaurant, Ji Xun and others ordered a table of delicious food and were eating happily.

However, while eating, the noisy streets suddenly fell silent.

Ji Xun immediately realized something and stuck his head out of the window.

Just watched a knight riding an earth dragon and covered in silver armor slowly enter the camp from outside.

 The queue is so long that you can’t see the end at a glance.

It is estimated that there are hundreds of knights alone.

On the street, the crowds stood on both sides of the street, silent, and respectfully greeted the team entering the city.

“The Holy Dragon Knight clears the way. A big shot from the Holy See is here.”

“Looking at this appearance, he is at least a senior priest at the level of an archbishop.”

 “Hey, it’s really lively. Why is there an archbishop in this **** place?”

ˆ “.”

 Other adventurers in the restaurant also started talking about it.

Ji Xun and the others are not surprised. They know the situation in the Dead Realm, and it is not surprising that the Holy See would send top experts.

The team on the street walked for a long time, and then Ji Xun saw the white-bearded old man in the team sitting in a gorgeous jewelry carriage from a distance.

 Wearing a gorgeous bright red bishop's robe, the crown and shoes are inlaid with various gorgeous gems, and the details are full of luxury.

Ji Xun looked at the attire, glanced at it and then narrowed his eyes.

Those who can criticize this kind of bishop's red robe are all powerful figures in the Holy See.

 It’s not the ninth level, it’s at least the eighth level.

With such a master, any malicious peek will be noticed.

Ji Xun has seen one before.

The one who was killed by Griffith, the leader of the Dragon Rebel Army.

Ji Xun was not surprised that such a strong man came.

As the team walked, he saw that the animal carts in the team were actually pulling a lot of cargo.

This made Ji Xun immediately suspicious: "Huh?"

The Archbishop's travel arrangements are indeed like this, but that's it in the city. This is deep in the Warcraft Forest, why are you dragging so many things?

The Holy See has collected most of the top treasures in the entire southern continent, and there is no shortage of treasures to contain.

Logically speaking, if you want to bring supplies, you don’t need to use an animal cart to pull them.

Ji Xun was confused and deliberately looked at the mud stains on the wheel.

Immediately judged that this was definitely a long journey, not a pretense at the door.

  In other words, there were some large objects in the convoy that could not be accommodated.

“So, this red archbishop is actually here to **** the items in the team?”

Ji Xun immediately came to a conclusion.

It was not surprising that experts from the Holy Holy See came. What he was curious about was, what exactly did they bring that was worthy of such a big battle?

The animal carts pulling goods were all wrapped in luxurious blankets. There were more than a dozen carts in total, and nothing could be seen from the outside.

Ji Xun didn’t see anything famous either.

However, Ivan didn't know what he noticed. Ivan, who was secretly eating food in his pocket, suddenly became stunned.

Ji Xun and the little loli looked at each other, and looking at the sparkling excited pupils, he immediately guessed what was being pulled on the beast cart.

 A coffin!

When Griffith discovered Ivan, this little loli was lying in the mysterious coffin with high-level space laws!
