Chapter Seventy-Nine: Catching Up with Miss Marukotou
The city of innocence is very large, and Ji Xun didn't expect it to be so coincidental that he would meet a handful of acquaintances at the Windmill Hotel.
Listening to the people taking the initiative to say hello, he couldn't pretend not to know him, and said, "Miss Nanjing? ”
Nan Jing saw that he didn't recognize the wrong person, and couldn't hide his surprise, and said, "Ah, it's really Mr. Ji Xun." I wasn't sure just now. ”
There is no friendship more memorable than experiencing life and death together.
This psychic lady has a deep memory of her savior.
Ji Xun was also curious: "Miss Nanjing, why are you here?" ”
Glancing at her two companions, there was no old friend Chu Jiu.
Although he guessed that the three of them were most likely going to the [Greedy Mine] extradimensional space in this windmill inn, he was also a little curious, why did they go?
Nan Jing replied without thinking, "Ah, we saw the recruitment in the Hunter Guild and are going."
But before she finished speaking, the black knight man who was traveling with her interrupted sharply: "Xiao Nan! ”
This is a clear reminder.
Probably trying to say, don't talk too much to strangers.
“.”
Ji Xun also heard the vigilance in his words, and raised his eyebrows.
He and Nanjing know each other and have a foundation of trust.
But her two companions were wary.
Ji Xun didn't care.
He knew that the origins of Chu Jiu and Nan Jing were very sensitive.
Then these two are her companions, and naturally they are also from a place.
The ranger huntress skillfully turned the doubt into a temptation and asked, "Xiao Nan, who is this?" ”
Nan Jing excitedly wanted to introduce: "Ah Yao, this is Mr. Ji Xun, he is."
But when the words came to her mouth, she also seemed to think of something, but she didn't know how to introduce it.
They met in the labyrinth of the cemetery, but that extradimensional space was related to the death of the governor Cao Sihai and the assassination of Chu Jiu, so this can't be said nonsense.
But if you don't explain it, it doesn't seem right.
And her writhing demeanor was even more wrong in the eyes of the two companions.
Both of them knew that Nan Jing's heart was simple and pure, and he was easily deceived.
Ji Xun looked at Nan Jing's bitter melon look, and knew that she didn't know how to explain this relationship even if her head was burned dry, so she took the initiative to open her mouth and said, "I had a relationship with Miss Nan Jing. ”
When Nan Jing heard this, he was pardoned and said, "Hmm." Mr. Ji Xun is my friend. ”
At this moment, she finally realized why she couldn't tell the dilemma when she asked Chu Jiu and Ji Xun how they met.
Obviously there is nothing, but there are some things that you just can't say.
Saying that, she didn't dwell on Ji Xun's identity, and instead introduced: "These two are my partners, Ah Yao and Mo Feng. ”
Nan Jing introduced the two.
But apparently her two companions were reluctant to be introduced to strangers by their names.
Ji Xun didn't take it to heart at all.
It seems that the people in the mysterious place behind the ninth day of the first month are full of wariness of strangers.
When I first met in the maze of the cemetery and the south mirror before, this psychic lady also had this attitude of being wary of everyone.
Ji Xun nodded politely and said directly, "Miss Nanjing, I'll go back to the room first." ”
He had no idea of snooping on other people's privacy, and he didn't want to know what was going on between the two.
As he spoke, he turned his head and left.
"Knock", "Knock", "Knock".
The empty hotel vestibule was only the sound of boots stepping on wooden stairs.
This move seems a bit arrogant to others.
Nanjing's two companions frowned.
The psychic lady also felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, and hurriedly explained: "Ah Yao, Mo Feng, don't mind, Mr. Ji Xun is actually very good. ”
Can there be good people in the city of innocence?
The two of them looked at each other with solemn eyes.
Ah Yao asked in a cautious tone, "Xiao Nan, what is the background of that person?" ”
After all, their identities are too sensitive, and they must be careful everywhere.
Ha?
Nan Jing was asked this question, and his mind spun up again, "I, him."
But after thinking about it for a long time, she also realized that she didn't know what Ji Xun was doing at all.
And I can't say how I met.
She really couldn't answer these two questions.
Nan Jing's eyes dodged, and then he smiled awkwardly: "Ah, that Mr. Ji Xun is a lone hunter." ”
Some people lie and you can tell at a glance.
Especially Nanjing, a pair of companions who grew up together since childhood.
This answer made the two companions feel bad.
Mo Feng's face was not very good, and he said, "Xiao Nan, the people of Innocence City, it is best to be more cautious. ”
Ah Yao also said earnestly: "Yes, you don't trust a stranger too easily, for fear that the other party has some other plans." ”
Nanjing understood the strange eyes of her companion and knew that she had misunderstood, but she couldn't explain it, so she could only turn around and say, "Oh, don't ask." Anyway, Mr. Ji Xun is really good. He saved my life. ”
Chu Jiu's incident was very sensitive, she didn't know how to explain it for the time being, so she could only get down to business and said, "And he's very powerful." This time, I should also go to the [Greedy Mine]. If he is there, even if the challenge is more difficult, the probability of clearing the level will be greater. ”
Listening to "saved my life", Ah Yao's expression softened a little, and her eyes were thoughtful.
It's not that they don't know anything about the ninth day of the first month, and they vaguely guessed something.
But this topic is really inconvenient to mention.
I didn't ask any more questions.
Listening to Nan Jing say that this person is very powerful, Ah Yao also asked, "That person is a card master?" What is the sequence of occupations? ”
If you are a master, going to the [Greedy Mine] space is indeed a little helpful.
Nan Jing thought about it for a moment and said, "No. It seems to be an apprentice of the card master. ”
The two companions were speechless as they listened.
What can a card master apprentice be considered awesome?
Ah Yao's expression was not very good, and she asked again, "What kind of career sequence does that person have?" ”
Nan Jing was embarrassed to be asked: "I don't know." ”
Only then did she realize that she seemed to know that Mr. Ji Xun was very good at solving puzzles, but she didn't know what kind of career sequence he was taking.
It seems that from the beginning to the end, I haven't seen him fight.
Ah Yao shook her head when she heard this, and said, "Forget it." Let's rest early, too. I'm going to wake up early tomorrow. ”
The three of them didn't speak, and went upstairs with tactical backpacks on their backs.
Ji Xun listened to the footsteps, and the three of them seemed to be in the two rooms next to him.
He didn't pay attention to it, and while practicing the breathing method cross-legged on the bed, he was also distracted from flipping through various card master books.
He didn't know anything about the conversation downstairs, and he didn't want to know about it.
Ji Xun only feels that he doesn't have enough time at all, and there are too many things to learn.
I also hope that [Greedy Mine] can produce some skill cards, which can reduce a lot of time for cultivating martial arts.
Before I knew it, it was hours.
Ji Xun was completely immersed in practice and learning.
I don't know when.
Tuk, tuk, tuk rang at the door.
A soft voice outside the door asked, "Mr. Ji Xun, are you resting?" ”
Ji Xun heard the knock on the door, and his thoughts turned back.
Hearing that it was Nan Jing, he stepped out of bed and opened the door.
Outside the door, the psychic lady was holding a pot of tea, bowed slightly, and said slightly apologetically: "Sorry to disturb." It just so happened that I brewed a little fruit tea, thinking that Mr. Ji Xun didn't sleep, so I sent a little. ”
Ji Xun smiled and greeted, "Miss Nanjing is too polite, please come in." ”
Nanjing looked up and was slightly stunned.
She was a little surprised, and said, "Hey, it's the first time I've seen Mr. Ji Xun not wearing a gas mask." ”
As she spoke, Miss Pillhead blinked her big watery eyes and secretly glanced at it again.
"Huh"
Ji Xun smiled, and didn't notice that he was not wearing a mask.
It seems that the maze of the cemetery has always been wearing a gas mask.
But it doesn't matter.
This is not a stranger, either.
Inviting Nanjing into the house, he closed the door.
This psychic lady is also not wearing a gas mask, she is still a cute ball head, and her cheeks have shallow dimples when she laughs.
It's very good-looking, and it's also durable.
Ji Xun had seen her true face before, and he was not much surprised.
It seems that because they didn't wear hunter equipment and didn't have a cloak to cover it, the sense of separation between the two disappeared all of a sudden.
Nan Jing wears a very common female deer hunting suit, with a tight brown top and good stretch combat pants.
The others were a little loose in this hunter's suit, but the psychic lady's just right plump was very slim.
The lines are graceful, and the girl's unique youthful atmosphere and the beauty of the wonderful figure are also displayed.
Ji Xun couldn't help but glance at it, but it quickly retracted.
Nan Jing put the teacup on the table, and while pouring it, he said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ji Xun, my companion has no malicious intentions. before."
Ji Xun smiled and shook his head, how could he care about this.
Ji Xun asked directly, "Miss Nanjing, why did you come here?" Also going to the [Greedy Mine]? ”
"Hmm."
There was no one else, and Nanjing responded directly.
With a serious expression, she said, "We're looking for a potion recipe for a special plague. I saw it in ancient books before, but it has been lost. So we've been looking for clues in the Hunters' Guild to see if certain ancient ruins are producing. Recently, I heard that there are some ancient witch potion recipes in the [Greedy Mine] extradimensional space, so I wanted to try it. ”
"Oh."
It turned out that I went for the potion formula.
Ji Xun didn't ask when he listened.
I thought it was the group behind her that had some kind of plague.
The expression is still so serious, and the plague is also very serious.
Regardless of this being an extraordinary world, diseases and plagues are still deadly threats to human beings that cannot be completely solved.
Nan Jing also asked, "Mr. Ji Xun, what about you?" ”
Ji Xun said casually: "I'm going to find some materials, and I heard that there is a skill card in that space, so I want to try my luck." ”
"Wow, what a coincidence."
Nan Jing also felt that it was a coincidence.
The city of innocence is so big, and there are so many tasks of the Hunter Guild, so I actually encountered it in a small hotel.
She poured the tea and brought it over, "Mr. Ji Xun, please drink tea." ”
Ji Xun finished the teacup, and he was not used to being so polite, "Just call me by my name." You don't have to be so polite. ”
Nan Jing sighed, blinked, and said, "You can also call me by my name, or call me Xiao Nan." That's what everybody calls it. ”
Ji Xun nodded: "Hmm." ”
He found that this Miss Maruki was still very wary when he didn't know him, but after having a foundation of trust, his personality was still very cheerful.
The two are not strangers, but they are not particularly familiar with each other.
As soon as the two sentences are spoken, it seems that the topic is finished.
The atmosphere in the room was slightly awkward.
At this time, Nan Jing looked at the classics opened on the bed and said in surprise: "Mr. Ji Xun is still reading so late?" ”
You know, in the City of Innocence, few hunters would choose to waste their time reading books.
Hunters take their lives to explore caves, and every time they survive, it is like a gift of fate.
In my spare time, it's not enough to get drunk and dream in Fengyue Tavern, so how can I have time to read any idle books.
After saying that, she thought of something and patted her head: "Oh, I almost forgot." You know the Tarem language. With such profound knowledge, you must have to read a lot of books. ”
Ji Xun smiled and didn't explain.
Nan Jing said, as if he had something to ask, his eyes rolled, and then he said, "Mr. Ji Xun, what kind of career sequence are you?" ”
As she spoke, she also felt that the direct question seemed to be too abrupt, and quickly added: "That. I mean to say. We're all going to the Mines of Greed. You can take care of each other. One of my partners is a first-order black knight, and the other is a ranger of the ninth stage of the card, although not as powerful as the ninth sister of the first order, but it is not bad. ”
She was embarrassed to say that she hadn't answered this question before, and she was looked at strangely by her companion's eyes.
Obviously said that they knew each other, but they didn't even know what kind of occupation the other party had.
That feeling feels like I think about it now. It's embarrassing.
Ji Xun was also amused by her cramped demeanor.
Very lame temptation.
But he also responded, "It's kind of a melee one." Well, the current gunslinger? And you know, know a little bit about puzzle solving. ”
Nanjing: "Oh. ”
Gunners are not a profession, and many people use guns.
Hearing this, she also realized that it was rude to inquire about privacy, so she didn't ask too much.
Ji Xun knew that this was misleading, so he didn't explain much.
He didn't deliberately want to hide it, but he really didn't know what to say.
You can't say, I'm a decathlon, right?
The melee meat shield role is okay, the long-range output is also OK, and the assassin is no problem, even the nurse knows a little bit
With his attributes, he can stand in any position.
One person has the tactics of one person, and the team has the benefits of the team.
Since they are going to the same interdimensional space, Ji Xun also feels that it is quite good to have Nanjing, a psychic and doctor teammate, and his abilities are complementary.
As for her two companions, what black knights and rangers are, they are dispensable.
Ji Xun also took the initiative to say: "If we explore the interdimensional space together, it will indeed be much easier to take care of each other." When the time comes, it may be troublesome for Miss Nanjing. ”
"Hmm!"
Nan Jing listened to Ji Xun's invitation to form a team, and there was still a little melancholy on her pretty face, which dissipated suddenly, and asked again: "What difficulty does Mr. Ji Xun plan to try?" ”
She didn't hide her purpose, and said directly: "Actually, what I want to say is that although I don't know if the witch potion in that space is what we want, the formula that can solve that plague must be of no lower grade." This time, we may have to challenge the difficulty of B level or higher to have a chance. But as far as I know, the [Greedy Mine] B-level difficulty has a mortality rate of more than 50%."
This mortality rate, many hunters who are for money are not for gambling to get rich, almost will not consider it.
If you enter a C-level or D-level with easy difficulty, you can also gain a good result if you enter it a few more times.
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Ji Xun's expression, looking at it still expressionless, and she was also very worried in her heart.
"Hmm."
Ji Xun listened to nature without any different colors.
The material he wants is at least silver, so he will eventually choose the difficulty level of B or above.
But he also said conservatively: "When the time comes, let's go to the easy difficulty first and see the situation." I'm going to try the B-level difficulty later. ”
Nanjing couldn't hide his excitement and said, "That's great!" ”
Obviously, she only met it once, and she didn't know why she thought that Ji Xun would help her a lot.
Thinking that not only did she think so, but the ninth sister also said that he was very powerful.
That's really awesome.
That's right!
A sad look suddenly appeared in Nan Jing's eyes, and he said, "That. . . Mr. Ji Xun, there is one more thing. ”
Ji Xun took a sip of tea and glanced at it: "Huh? ”
Nan Jing couldn't hide his worries and asked, "I want to ask if you have seen Sister Chu Jiu recently?" ”
When Ji Xun heard this question, he turned his head and asked, "Chu Jiu didn't go with you?" ”
Isn't Chu Jiu with you, you come to ask me?
But then I also guessed that something might have happened to my old friend.
Nan Jing shook his head.
didn't get the news, her expression darkened, and she said, "After coming out of the cemetery before, I found the ninth sister of the junior high school. She was not assassinated. But the state is very bad. Then it was gone. We're worried too. I thought she might come to you. ”
“.”
Ji Xun heard that Chu Jiu had not met an assassin, and his expression was slightly different.
Old friends aren't dead, that's good news.
But why do you think she's coming to me?
Ji Xun wanted to say in his heart that although the two had a relationship, they had only met twice before and after.
Oh, almost forgot.
was backstabbed by her family, and she was afraid that she had nowhere to go.
It's time to talk about it, and it's late at night.
Nanjing didn't mean to stay longer.
At this time, Ji Xun suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Miss Nanjing, do you have any medical-related classics there?" ”
He needed a high level of medical knowledge to learn the [Cell Activity Boiling].
Although some were found in the storage ring of the "Epidemic Doctor" Hesse before, most of them were poison-related classics, and there were some second-order advanced medical books, which looked very difficult.
Now I happened to meet this psychic lady, and Ji Xun also knew that she was a good doctor, so he asked.
When Nan Jing heard this, he was obviously surprised, but he was also very enthusiastic and said, "Ah, yes." ”
As she spoke, she didn't ask, so she directly took out a few books from the storage ring, but Qi asked, "Mr. Ji Xun, do you want to take the path of healing?" ”
Ji Xun was noncommittal and said with a smile: "I've been studying some spells recently, and I need to know some medical knowledge. ”
As he spoke, he looked at the big books and asked, "Can you lend me these books?" I'll give it back to you in a few days. ”
Nan Jing smiled happily: "Of course you can." ”
She seemed to think that she could help a little, and she was very happy, and said, "These are just things I take with me to see." I have a lot more at home. Bring it to you next time if you need it. ”
After all, the cemetery has always been taken care of before, and it always feels better if I can help a little.
Ji Xun said: "Hmm! Thank you. I'll talk about it when I'm done with that. ”
Regardless of whether you can read it or not, use the ability to remember it first, and then digest it slowly.
But when he thought about it, he felt that what Nan Jing said just now was very strange.
Lots of them at home?
What is this psychic lady doing in her house?
There are very few families in the city of Innocence who have a large collection of medical texts.
And these classics in front of me, hardcover hand-drawn, this thing is afraid that it is hundreds of years old.
It's older than the set of "Card Master Encyclopedia" he bought.
Ji Xun thought of this and suddenly smiled.
This Miss Maruko is really defenseless, even if it's just a few books, it can reveal a lot of information.
Nan Jing didn't know why he was laughing, but it was really late, and it would be rude to stay any longer.
She packed up the teapot and said, "Mr. Ji Xun, I'll go back and rest first." See you tomorrow. ”
Ji Xun nodded: "Hmm." ”
As soon as the door closed, my thoughts were already on the book.
He is now in the daily state of practice and study.
