"Ouch, Ayu, you're still playing cards here, you don't know that the entire Innocence City has exploded! That's a dragon attack! Wyverns attack the city! ”

"Oh, no matter what, I'm going outside to inquire about the news."

“.”

In the screenwriter's office, a babbling guy ran in and said the news, and hurriedly ran out to watch the excitement.

That's the storekeeper of the troupe.

In the troupe, the down-and-out screenwriter and the warehouse keeper are difficult brothers with similar salaries.

As soon as the people left, Ji Xun and Jia Yuqi's eyes froze for a moment.

But that's about it.

The two sides continued to play their cards again.

If true, then this news is indeed a major news that can be called a turning point in history.

The impact on the federal regime was enormous.

For individuals, though, it's far less of an impact.

Prior to this, no other human civilization had been discovered by the Federation.

But now, there are some "strong people who don't know how to go" who have destroyed the Cao family's Cross New Town.

When a sense of crisis hits, it is inevitable that people will look forward to it and be curious.

It's like a ship drifting in the middle of the ocean, drifting alone for 3,000 years;

Now they saw the sails of another ship.

To destroy the fortress of war that was built for the purpose of hunting famine, the Federation has hardly been able to do it at present.

Even if there is.

There was no motive to make a move.

And "Flying Dragons Attack the City".

This is also beyond everyone's realization.

Before the discovery of the dragon in the Old World, no one in the Eastern Continent had ever seen it, and it only existed in legends.

Even now, only a few people have seen some dragonborn creatures in the interdimensional space.

This alone reveals a lot of information.

Strange and strong, dragons, and comers are not good.

However, Ji Xun had some expectations.

Even the Eastern Continent is boundless.

No one knows how vast Middle-earth really is.

The scale of the current development of the Federation in the Old World is estimated to be a small corner of the territory of the Talon Dynasty for 3,000 years.

If only there were only these humans who were federal card masters.

It's a little too lonely.

Now that the news comes out, it seems to be different.

A lamp was lit in the dark cave, and the world became a wonderful place.

"You don't seem surprised?"

"Most likely, it is one of several other civilizations left behind by the Talon Dynasty three thousand years ago. Since they all left from the Old World, and now that they are back, it is normal to meet again. Moreover, some of the ancient prophecies that have been circulated in our Illuminati have also been foreseen."

"Oh?"

"Detailed information will come in a moment. There is no hurry. ”

“.”

Ji Xun and Jia Yu were not strangers in the first place.

This played the cards for nearly a week, and the two became acquainted.

Aside from the identity of the light chaser, Jia Yu's personality is actually quite good.

Erudite and talkative, the three views are also very appetizing.

The two of them chatted at the moment like small talk between friends, and there was nothing to see each other.

Ji Xun listened and waited with peace of mind.

After all, this mushroom head is the leader of the Thirteen Knights. Even if he has been living in this screenwriter's office, he can grasp the movements of the major forces of the Federation, and he must have his own intelligence system.

Instead of going out and listening to all the weird gossip that is circulating.

It's better to wait.

Outside, Honglou exploded, but the two people in the warehouse were playing cards patiently.

Sure enough.

After two rounds of cards, footsteps rang out the door again.

"Ouch, such a big deal, do you still have the heart to play cards here?"

Before the person arrives, the sound comes first.

The sound is very charming, and it makes people feel like they have fallen when they listen to it.

Jia Yu shook his head and smiled slightly when he heard this, as if he was also a little helpless about the one outside the door.

He glanced at Ji Xun with a hint of strange eyes, and said, "She may be teasing in a while. Well, forget it, you'll find out in a moment. ”

Ji Xun understood this look, as if he originally wanted to remind him to pay attention to something.

But I don't think it's necessary.

The mushroom head looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, but Ji Xun was more curious about who the person was.

Since he spoke like this, the person who came must know Jia Yu's identity, or even one of the thirteen knights.

Without waiting to think about it, at this time, a woman wearing a half-face gas mask walked in at the door.

looked at a hunter's outfit, but as soon as she came in and took off the gas mask, Ji Xun's eyes were immediately stunned: "This"

Because an incomparably familiar face appeared in front of me.

Song Yu!

Not only the appearance, but also the temperament is exactly the same.

She smiled brightly at herself, her teeth neat.

At this moment, Ji Xun suddenly thought that he had crossed over again and saw the innocent fishing lady.

Although knowing that it must be some kind of hallucination.

But at the moment he had the luxury of wanting this illusion to last forever.

Jia Yu on the side also saw his mood fluctuations, shook his head and said, "Don't tease him." This is Erin, the "Archer" of this generation. This is Ji Xun. ”

As he spoke, he explained: "It's her professional ability" vain promise ". What is illusion is reality. Whatever you want to see, you'll see. ”

“.”

Ji Xun listened to this suddenly, his eyes slowly converged, but he didn't sigh in his heart.

Hearing Jia Yu open his mouth and directly break his spell, the woman who came in complained: "Oh chief, can't you let me maintain a little mystery?" ”

But he didn't continue to use spells.

The look on her face changed like a mirage, and it became a charming face.

He has bright brown big waves, red lips, and a wonderful figure.

obviously has the delicate of a girl, but there are thousands of styles of a mature woman in her eyes.

This is a woman whose age is not discernible from her appearance.

Ji Xun looked at this person and took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Ji Xun." ”

Just now that he was able to make himself unguarded by the fourth order, the strength of the person in front of him was also unfathomable.

And since Jia Yu said that she was a member of the Thirteen Knights, even if she was not a legendary powerhouse, it was almost the same.

Erin laughed, "I know. It was you who solved the Crimson Altar in the Vault. ”

As she spoke, she looked at Ji Xun with silky eyes and stretched out her hand: "Hello, Erin~ Nice to meet you." I've seen you before, but I guess you don't know."

“.”

Ji Xun shook hands very gentlemanly.

The other party's illusory disguise ability, I have seen myself, and it is normal to be unimpressed.

Erin did not shy away from her gaze, and looked Ji Xun up and down: "Yo~ You are more handsome than before." ”

Ji Xun responded politely: "Thank you." Miss Erin is also beautiful. ”

Erin covered her mouth and smiled: "I can really talk~"

Jia Yu on the side seemed to have long been accustomed to her charm of nowhere to place, and everywhere she went, she was shining like a light bulb, and interrupted a little helplessly, "What's going on outside?" ”

Erin was interrupted by this incomprehensible remark, and glanced at Jia Yu with disgust, but also said, "The news has been confirmed." A seventh-order fire dragon attacked the city, the lord Cao Tianxi was killed, and the cross city was broken. ”

When she was down to business, there was also a hidden depth in her crystal eyes, and she added: "But the fire dragon is not a real dragon, but a beastly form transformed by a human card master." ”

Jia Yu pondered: "Human? ”

Erin said, "Yes. It was like this: A few strangers came from somewhere in the Cross City, they didn't speak the lingua franca, and they were dressed in different gears. Then he was discovered by the intelligence officers of the Cao family, thinking that he was a spy of another family. The conflict broke out directly between the two sides. Eventually, one of them turned into a fire dragon, killing the lord of the Cao family, and then destroying most of the city."

Jia Yu's expression didn't fluctuate anymore when he heard this, as if he had confirmed something, and only asked, "Is it the card master?" ”

Erin said: "Yes, it's all card masters!" In addition to transforming into dragons, those guys also used spell cards. However, the genre of spells is a bit ancient, and the power is also very strong, and it is suspected that it is a direct inheritance of the ancient Talen spell. At present, several spells are used, namely [Storm Wheel Cutting Technique], [Fire Dragon Forbidden Spell], and [Mystery Waterfall Imperial Flow Technique]. Except for the seventh-order transformation into a dragon, the others also have more or less dragonborn characteristics. ”

“.”

Sure enough, it was a professional intelligence officer.

This Erin described in detail the battle of Crosstown.

The two who listened seemed to be on the battlefield, and saw with their own eyes the scene of the fire dragon breathing fire and killing in the sky above the city.

"No wonder"

Ji Xun muttered.

He has some Dragonborn materials in his own class card, so he has a more accurate understanding of the strength of the Dragonborn's transformation than others.

A seventh-order card master, transformed into a flying dragon, almost has the combat power to crush in this era.

Although the Cao family was very strong, no one could deal with that seventh order.

It is not surprising that the Cross New Town was destroyed.

But there are also some doubts.

The requirements for the fusion of Dragonborn materials are also very demanding, not to mention that the materials are very difficult to find, and there are not many in the entire Federation that can integrate Dragonborn materials.

But almost all of the guys with "unknown origins" have Dragonborn characteristics.

That's intriguing.

From this information, Ji Xun only heard one feeling: the other party has the arrogance and self-confidence brought by absolute strength!

"Now there are rumors circulating on the black market that our 'Illuminati' are behind the scenes, that we have secret ties with the revolutionary army, and that we want to plot to overthrow the Federation. There are also people looking around for channels to contact the leader and ask about cooperation. ”

"But the five councilors are not stupid, they should have guessed that it might be other card master civilizations. Now that the Innocence City side has issued temporary control, the Old Continent, only can't go back. I'm afraid that the other party will sneak into the Eastern Continent."

"The Cao family's side tried their best to kill two enemies. One of the bodies was already on its way back to the City of Innocence. When the intelligence on the corpse is analyzed, it should be clear. ”

“.”

After Erin finished speaking, the expressions of the three people in the room became solemn.

Jia Yu also fell into deep thought.

Erin knew that the leader would think about it for a long time, and she said her judgment: "Very strong, judging from the current information, it is very likely that those people have not been passed on." At least not like us, locked down by the Oran royal family for two thousand years."

Ji Xun also felt this way in his head.

The other party has a seventh-order, and behind this strength, there must be a perfect card master system inheritance.

Now the difference comes out all of a sudden.

The Eastern Continent, where the Kashi Federation is located, is already short of resources, and most of the inheritance has been blocked by the Orlan royal family in order to maintain their rule, and it has been delayed for more than 2,000 years.

If you really want to deal with the card master civilization that has not been broken in the previous lineage, the consequences are not optimistic.

The fall of Caojia Cross New Town is likely to be just a microcosm of the future.

As for living in peace, it is almost impossible.

It is human nature to plunder the weak.

And this world is already cruel, a strong civilization has found a weak civilization, and enslavement and plunder are almost inevitable.

Even if the other party really didn't have malicious intent, this attack was just an accident.

So in the future, what qualifications do card masters in the Eastern Continent have to explore the Old World with those people?

Even if they can go, eighty percent are still "cannon fodder" for exploring space.

So for that alone, the two civilizations are almost doomed to hostility.

Fortunately, there is a natural moat like the world rift, and it is estimated that it can be blocked for a period of time by taking advantage of the geographical advantage.

The five councillors decisively ordered to block those returning from the Old Continent, and there was nothing wrong with this decision.

But the effect is very limited.

The Wyvern Attack is just the beginning.

What if there is a card master above the seventh order in the other civilization?

That's already a level of power that is beyond the perception of everyone in the Federation at the moment.

It is even possible to absolutely crush the current federation by force.

For a while, Ji Xun's thoughts were racing.

But obviously, some people see the same intelligence at different heights.

After pondering for a moment, Jia Yu finally spoke.

"At the moment, it seems that they are friends and foes. And very strong. ”

"Dragonborn creatures are naturally high-level bloodlines, and their average combat power will be more than half a rank higher than that of ordinary demonic beasts. In other words, the environment in which those people live is much worse than that of the Eastern Continent. It also means that the strength of the card master in that environment will also be very strong."

"The inheritance of those people is very complete, and there is a high probability that there are card masters above the seventh order. This is the most inexplicable point at the moment. ”

"The only good news is that since it is a card master, then eighty percent of the surviving 'fires' are not polluted by the old gods."

“.”

The height is different, what Jia Yu sees is the Kashi civilization.

If there really is a card master civilization that has been completely inherited, from a certain point of view, this is indeed a good thing.

It's just that it's not good news for the current federal high society.

The Illuminati have never been in power or conspirators in history.

They stand taller.

More like an observer of civilization.

They walk in the shadows of inconspicuous history, and only when they reach the turning point of certain civilizations will they choose the present world.

If you are weak, you will be beaten, this is the law of nature.

Who is in power in the Federation has no effect on them in the slightest.

When Ji Xun heard this analysis, he also felt reasonable.

From a civilizational point of view, as long as they are not polluted by the Old Gods, it makes no difference who is the ruler.

However, it is clear that it is not that simple.

Jia Yu thought of something at this time, squinted slightly, and changed his words: "But. The people in that squad are all dragonborn, and there is a guy who can directly transform into a dragon, which is not something that can be done with a normal class card. Even if there is, the difficulty of merging the Dragonborn class cards is very high, and the probability of the entire team of Dragonborn is very small. Another point is that the High Bloodlines have a natural resistance to the beliefs of the Old Gods. So I guess those people may have reformed their bloodlines. Or maybe they already have a certain level of dragon blood. ”

Hearing this, Erin was surprised: "Humans have dragon blood? ”

Hearing this, Ji Xun frowned slightly.

He has fused the class card of the Dragonborn material himself, and he has too much say in how difficult it is.

Another card master civilization is understandable because of its unbroken inheritance.

But everyone can't have the physical strength to fuse the Dragonborn card, right?

As for the human transformation bloodline.

Ji Xun himself was infected with the [Blood Plague].

He knew very well how risky this foreign bloodline transformation was. If it weren't for his special situation, and the suppression of catastrophic objects, he would have been distorted a long time ago.

It is also impossible to apply the acquired bloodline transformation on a large scale.

Jia Yu's statement is also the most reliable.

So.

The mushroom head had clearly thought of this.

He continued: "According to legend, dragons were powerful and domineering, greedy and cunning, lustful by nature, and ambitious. They are born overlords. The dragonborns born of their intercourse with other species are actually slaves controlled by the dragons. Within the realm, the dragon is the only ruler. In front of the dragons, they have an innate bloodline suppression of any dragonborn creature. The dragon will enslave everything in its territory."

Hearing this, Erin didn't say the right tone, and asked, "Chief, what does this mean?" ”

Jia Yu pondered for a moment, and said the conclusion he deduced the performance: "It is very likely. Those people come from a civilization that is not dominated by humans. ”

Hearing this, the room fell silent again.

When Ji Xun heard this, he also thought a lot.

If it weren't for the civilization in which humanity was in power, then the problem would be big.

The current Federation is really going to be defeated by those card masters who don't know where they came from, doesn't it mean that they are war slaves under slaves?

This is no more infighting between civilized regimes.

It's a struggle between races.

Jia Yu didn't say much, and let out a long breath of turbidity, "Wait for the news." The Bai family's side should get more information from the corpse. Once it is determined that those people are really born with dragon blood, the situation I deduced may come true. ”

"Hmm."

Erin also nodded solemnly and asked, "Chief, what can we do now?" ”

Jia Yu deserves to be a light chaser.

From this limited information, he has already deduced the pattern of war for many years to come.

He said: "The other party has already made it clear that there is a seventh-order card master, and it is likely that this is just a team of pioneers. It is almost certain that the current power of the Federation will not be able to hold any city in the Old World. Therefore, if you really want to fight, it can only be a guerrilla tactic. And once the Nuggets Pier is captured by those people, we may also be blocked in the Eastern Continent. ”

After a pause, he continued, "Let's prepare for the worst first. In the future, the city of innocence will inevitably become a war fortress that will hold on to the Eastern Continent. The main battlefield will be in the Old World. Shift the focus of your activities there. Before being blocked, try to lay down some hope for a comeback. ”

Erin nodded, "Yes." ”

As the Illuminati's chief intelligence officer, she already knew what she had to do.

“.”

Ji Xun also thought of this.

The Abyssal Rift is a moat that protects the current Federation of Eastern Luka Divisions.

But it's also mutual.

Now the only way to get in and out of the Old World is those artifact chains.

If someone really blocks the Nuggets Dock, it will be difficult to rush out.

After listening to Jia Yu's deduction, Ji Xun also felt that he might have to leave for the Old Continent as soon as possible.

The resources of the Eastern Continent are too poor, and it is extremely difficult to find seventh-order materials.

If you really want to be trapped, you may really be trapped in the low-level card master realm for the rest of your life.

The news of the collapse of the Cao family's Cross New Town spread throughout the Federation in a very short period of time.

In a rare move, the five councilors did not continue the infighting, but ordered the mobilization of troops and garrisoned the city of innocence and the Nugget Dock.

At the same time, the construction of mechanical warfare fortresses began.

The old continent was like a gold mine, and it wouldn't run away, so the five councilors would dig it slowly.

The only difference is how many shareholders there are, who digs more and digs less.

But now, an unknown enemy has appeared.

The sense of urgency came all at once.

No one would be naïve enough to think that those "people of unknown origin" would be kind enough to share the gold mine of the Old World with them.

Some can only be wars and conquests.

The entire federal hierarchy is in a sense of impending crisis.

Meanwhile.

Cross New Town.

The originally thriving new city of hunting wasteland is now full of broken walls and ruins.

Steel walls and various buildings can be seen everywhere in the form of fluids that have solidified after melting at high temperatures.

A couple of guys dressed in 3,000-year-old Talon clothes are leisurely repairing in the ruins.

On the bonfire in front of them was a huge boar beast baking.

There are still quite a few survivors in the city, but they don't realize what happened at the moment.

No one dared to provoke these "mysterious people" who had just killed through the Cao family's lord's mansion.

A stout middle-aged man with red hair sits on the ruins.

Just sitting there, there was a kind of domineering aura like a Warcraft Lord on his body.

At this time, another card master who had just finished searching for souls threw away the corpse in his hand and got the information.

"Legion Leader, it has now been confirmed that these guys are the ones who fled to the Eastern Wilderness three thousand years ago. Now it's called 'Card Division Federation'. They've only been in Middle-earth for a few years."

"Hehe, the strongest card master is only the sixth order? The Eastern Wilderness is as barren as the legend. Then there is no threat to the Federation of Card Divisions. ”

"yes. I said how come such a big city is full of low-level card masters. I wanted to try the methods of these guys, but none of them could fight. ”

"The royal family of Augustus is as stupid as ever. Three thousand years ago, he was greedy for royal power and caused the empire to collapse, and now he has fled to the Eastern Wilderness, and he has also made a stupid move to block the inheritance of the card master. Hehe, it's just self-defeating. ”

"Send a message to the Empire, and as soon as the reinforcements arrive, they will immediately set foot in the Eastern Wilderness. It just so happens that we need a lot of 'cannon fodder' to explore those extradimensional spaces. Those war slaves couldn't be more suitable."

"Yes! Legionnaire. ”

“.”
