Ruined camp in Valen.

The campfire was burning.

A group of sergeants from the Serpent Legion were burning a fire near the Twisted Light Gate of the Alien Dimension.

Counting the time, the last exploration should almost be over.

Not far away, another team exploring the space was ready.

There is pointing information to prove that some of the slaves in the space rebel camp of "Valen City Rebel Camp" participated in the construction of the tomb of King Augustus.

And the high-ranking officials of the Red Dragon Kingdom gave a death order to get clues about the mausoleum.

So this space is definitely not to be missed.

But everyone knows that it will be very difficult to discover this kind of plot outside the main line.

In addition to the slaves, the elite of the Serpent Legion is also needed.

This period of time has taken a lot of toll for this.

One by one, the sergeants hung their heads and whispered in groups.

"Hey, it will take a while for the mercenaries and hunters from the Empire to come. I'm afraid that our snake stinging group is going to fight to the death with this space. ”

"yes. I don't know how many more people will die. Last time Billy was drawn, I don't know if I'll survive."

"As long as you choose the city defense camp, the probability of survival is still very high. But what the regiment commander meant was that the clues of the city defense camp were of little value, and those who drew lots to enter later had to choose the rebel camp. It is said that the rebel camp started with A-level difficulty, and the current mortality rate is 100%"

"Hey, it's not the last time the Nuggets lost the first battle. Who knew that those guys in the East Wilderness blew up the dock directly. I guess the head of the regiment wants to make up for it."

"yes. Look! Space. The entrance to the space is gone! ”

"Could it be that someone has cleared the customs with high difficulty?"

“.”

Without warning, the Twisted Light Gate suddenly vanished.

Everyone looked at the entrance of the disappearing space and was surprised for a moment.

But then there was joy.

The disappearance of the entrance means that someone has opened up this extradimensional space.

Almost instantly, the news spread throughout the camp.

It's not just General Herman, the commander of the Stinger Legion, who has been induced, to check it out for himself.

Even in the "mysterious tent" that Ji Xun had been paying attention to before, a majestic beard in palace clothes came out.

On the other side, next to the slave shanty.

The huge toad imprisoned in the black iron cage also woke up silently.

The pair of round drums, which were originally lazy and sloppy, slowly focused their eyes, and anticipation emerged.

"That guy really did it."

It understands what's going on better than anyone else.

The disappearance of the alien space means that there is a high probability that the S-level evaluation has been cleared.

Aragorn is a brave man who has experienced S-level difficulty more than once, and he also knows that the clearance rate of this difficulty is extremely low.

Even if you have the information you provide, you will inevitably need the corresponding strength, wisdom and courage to try.

The mortality rate is very high.

"What a surprise. I don't know if Miss Alice survived."

Aragorn was also very emotional.

I also met Ji Xun before, but it was just a glimmer of hope in despair.

It didn't really expect that guy to be willing to take the risk.

It was a real success.

At this moment, even Aragorn felt unbelievable.

Just when the whole camp was wondering who had cleared the space, bad news came.

No one returned to the camp.

The person who cleared the customs disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, everyone in the Stinging Snake Regiment realized that something was wrong.

The normal situation is that if the sergeant in the regiment clears the customs, he will definitely come back to ask for credit.

Even if they survive the war slaves, they will inevitably be bound by the collar, and it is absolutely impossible to escape.

However, the truth is.

The person who cleared the customs had no intention of showing up at all, and disappeared out of thin air.

Seeing this, the big toad in the iron cage finally exhaled with relief.

If Alice had come out alive, they would have escaped by now.

That means they've found the key.

Hahahaha

Aragorn smiled heartily.

This is a happy moment that has never been captured by the people of the Red Dragon Kingdom for so long.

That way, it's also reassuring.

As for his own life and death, it doesn't matter at all.

Just as he was thinking, there was a loud shout from the camp.

"Everyone, search for me! Be sure to find someone who has come out of the other dimension! ”

"Call up all the lists that entered the space before!"

"Check it out! Who has been in contact with that toad lately! Control all the people you have come into contact with, and I'm going to ask them one by one! ”

“.”

Legion Commander Herman burst into a rage.

Only then did he realize that there was a high probability that the toad had done something in the exploration plan.

The other side.

In the dark ruins of the city, three figures are hiding in the darkness and quietly escaping.

They skillfully avoided all kinds of open posts and traps,

Run all the way to the depths of the ruins.

Ji Xun was lurking during this time, but he was not just asking for information.

He also knew everything about the terrain around the ruins of Valen.

There are many retreat routes planned.

It can even be said unceremoniously that many of the early warning devices near this camp were arranged by his disguised "Joel".

Now those arrangements also come in handy.

Ji Xun led Alice and Alan all the way to sneak.

Without encountering any obstacles, the trio managed to escape the Legion's defenses.

By the time the enemy found out, they were already more than a dozen kilometers away.

Finally, the fire was completely invisible behind him.

In the dark wilderness, the three of them stopped, and only then did they dare to gasp.

A cool breeze blows on their faces, and Alice and Alan greedily breathe in the free air.

It was the unshackles of the slave collar that made them truly feel alive.

In the past few months since they were arrested, the two have been living in fear, and at this moment, they really felt the ultimate joy of regaining their freedom.

The crisis was resolved.

Alice hasn't forgotten who saved them.

She bowed gracefully towards Ji Xun: "Thank you so much, Mr. Ji Xun, you saved our lives." ”

As if to show her sincerity, she directly said her biggest secret: "To re-introduce, I was the princess of the Red Dragon Kingdom before, Alice Talis. He is now a member of the Dragon Rebels. ”

“.”

Ji Xun had actually seen it in the space before, and Alice had an elegant temperament that was completely different from the civilian class.

Even if she tries her best to hide, the grace revealed in her occasional gestures also indicates that her identity is not ordinary.

Ji Xun also understood why he felt that Alice seemed to know a lot before.

This insight is not comparable to ordinary people.

It turned out to be a princess of the three kingdoms.

No wonder.

It's a princess who can be said.

But Ji Xun was unexpected.

A princess of the Red Dragon Kingdom?

The Stinging Snake Legion is the vanguard of the Red Dragon Kingdom, how did Alice, a princess, become a slave?

Of course, Alice also knew that Ji Xun would definitely be puzzled, and explained: "My identity is a bit special. I'm a Dragonborn, and I'm a 'pureblood'. Normally, I would have been a sacrifice to a dragon. But I probably inherited my mother's [witch] bloodline, and my human blood suppressed the dragon bloodline. This made me a 'taboo' in the Errel Empire. There are some ancient secrets involved, and I can't say for sure at the moment, but the Holy See has been hunting down people like me anyway. Then I was imprisoned. Later, I met Mister Aragorn, who took me out of the royal city, and I was freed and joined the rebels."

The story is long, and she picks only a few important ones to say.

As she spoke, she looked at Ji Xun and cast an extremely sincere gaze, saying, "You may not know my identity and what the 'Rebel Dragon Army' means, but if you want to hear it, I can explain it to you slowly." ”

There is nothing to hide from his savior.

If you really want the other party to be taboo, she also understands.

"Hmm."

Ji Xun responded with a kind smile.

He also knew that Alice explained her identity in advance, and he was afraid that this identity would cause some misunderstanding.

He chose to cooperate with the toad because of this information.

However, Ji Xun is not completely unaware of the situation on the Errel Empire's side, but in the past month or so, he has already known a lot.

But he personally wants to know, just to satisfy the curiosity.

What strategic intelligence is really needed, there are other people.

"I talked to Mr. Aragon before. I need some intel and maybe some cooperation in the future. I'll take you to meet a friend of mine. She'll have a good talk with you. ”

"Good!"

The three of them walked all the way and chatted all the way.

The topic they talked about the most was some extraordinary knowledge that Ji Xun was curious about.

For example, the missing sequences of the fifty-two sequences in the Eastern Continent, the Demon God Forbidden Technique, and some dynastic histories of the Talon Dynasty three thousand years ago.

Ji Xun has the ability to never forget, has read too many classics, and has accumulated a lot of knowledge.

And because Alice is the princess of the Red Dragon Kingdom and the [Witch] sequence, she also loves to soak in the royal library since she was a child.

Both were amazed by each other's erudition.

There are a lot of topics to talk about,

The more you talk, the more speculative it becomes.

As for whether Alice is a dragonborn or not, it doesn't matter to Ji Xun.

As long as it's not an enemy.

The atmosphere of chatting is gradually relaxed.

Alice was also worried about Aragorn's safety, but Ji Xun knew that even if the toad was exposed, the people of the Snake Legion would not dare to kill it.

After all, only the toad can perceive the presence of the "jar".

Ji Xun already had a plan to save it.

But not this sensitive node now.

Wait, the time is better.

The handling of the motorcycle is not difficult.

Especially for Alice and the two, who can ride dragons on weekdays, it is even simpler.

The trio of them walked instead of cycling, and after two days of riding, they arrived at their destination.

It is a dimly bleak ancient ruin.

It looks like an abandoned village.

There was a faint mist all around.

There is also a dilapidated castle on a cliff in the distance.

The branches are like iron, and there are a few strange birds standing on the branches, sometimes "quacking" and screaming.

Ji Xun observed the surrounding environment.

If he hadn't been sure that this was the coordinates that Caterina had agreed upon, he wouldn't have noticed any traces of the existence of a living person here.

Alice and Allen, who were on the side, also looked around vigilantly.

They were also full of curiosity about the East Wilderness Card Master they were about to meet.

After all, after seeing a Ji Xun, the people in Donghuang gave a deep impression to the two of them, and wondered if the people over there would be very special.

It didn't take long for several figures to come out of the fog.

Ji Xun looked at the familiar figure and took the initiative to greet, "Miss Carter, long time no see." ”

The leader lifted his cloak, revealing a delicate face and long golden hair like a waterfall, smiled gently, and greeted: "Ji Xun, long time no see." ”

Behind her, she was followed by several important ministers and cronies of the Lionheart family.

It can be seen that the Lionhearts took this meeting very seriously.

Saying that, Ji Xun introduced Alice and Alan beside him.

He thought he needed to translate it himself, but as soon as he was introduced, Caterina said enthusiastically, "Miss Alice, welcome you and your partner." ”

He speaks fluent Talem language.

Only then did Ji Xun know that during this time, not only was he improving, but others were also trying to understand that powerful and unknown enemy.

Alice was also slightly surprised when she saw Caterina for the first time.

She didn't expect the principal of the Eastern Continent to be so young and so beautiful.

But she also responded politely: "It's my honor." ”

Caterina already has a strong affinity for her personality.

Even if it is the first time we meet, she treats people like a guest, and she will make people feel like a friend.

She looked at Alice with a twinkle in her eyes, and praised without hesitation: "Ji Xun is right, Miss Alice is really very beautiful~"

Alice felt the kindness and responded, "Miss Carter laughed. You're beautiful."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Caterina gestured again, "Sorry, in the castle, please." The situation is special and the environment is a little shabby, and Miss Alice is not to be surprised. ”

Alice didn't care at all: "Of course not. It's pretty much the same with our rebel camps. ”

Although the Eastern Continent and the Southern Continent have been separated for thousands of years, they have inherited the ancient court etiquette of the Talon royal family, and the two daughters have behaved generously.

After meeting, the group walked towards the castle.

Alice was also very surprised.

She knows how to read minds, and can feel the kindness and malice of others.

He had expected it to be a very formal, cramped meeting of the Alliance.

I didn't expect to meet this Miss Lionheart, and a few words made the atmosphere less lifelike.

Alice's first impression of Caterina was very good.

This is a wise and courageous leader.

But after all, she is a guest, and she is only familiar with Ji Xun.

They also walked behind together.

Alice was also curious: "Mr. Ji Xun, Miss Carter is yours.?" ”

It seems to be gossip,

But it's an important question.

It's about the cooperation that follows.

She can trust her savior,

But they don't necessarily trust others.

Ji Xun also knew why she asked like this, and said in an affirmative tone: "Trustworthy friend." ”

Alice smiled knowingly, "Oh. ”

Ahead, Caterina listened, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

The forces that came to the Old Continent from the Eastern Continent Card Division, led by the Lionhearts, are now called the "Alliance Army".

The arrival of Alice and Alan is top secret.

Only a few of the top echelons of the coalition know about it.

But even so, the arrival of the two also caused a stormy wave.

Now the Alliance Army is no match for the Irel Empire in the Southern Continent on the frontal battlefield.

In addition to their lack of strength, the most important thing is that they know almost nothing about the enemy.

Rao spent a lot of money to capture some prisoners, and the information he got was very limited.

But the more this situation is,

The Allies must have information about the enemy as soon as possible.

So much so that in the follow-up all-out war, we can seize some initiative.

Therefore, in the recent period of guerrilla warfare, the coalition forces have taken the initiative to attack.

But they were also defeated and retreated, with heavy casualties.

However, it was the darkest hour, and the turn came very suddenly.

Timely and lucky.

Rao is Katerina didn't expect that they were still arranging spies to infiltrate the enemy army, and they were ready to pay a huge price in exchange for intelligence.

Unexpectedly, a single communication from someone could change the rhythm of war.

Their spy personnel are still training, and Ji Xun has already brought back reliable and detailed information.

Suffice it to say,

Ji Xun alone will do the work of the entire intelligence system for the next few years.

That intelligence meant that countless lives were saved.

The two key people brought back by Ji Xun not only knew detailed information about the Southern Continent, but also had a lot of super-level knowledge, and secrets about the dynastic history of the Old Continent

This is vital and much-needed intelligence for the Allies.

The most important thing is that behind Alice and the two are the "rebel dragon army"!

This is a strong ally.

Dilapidated bunker underground.

This is a hidden stronghold of the Lionhearts.

For safety, there are no luxurious buildings around.

The living conditions in the bunker are also simple.

But after Caterina learned the identity of Princess Alice from Ji Xun, she also held a welcome dinner for the distinguished guests with only the participation of the top-level commander under limited conditions.

Ji Xun wasn't interested in dinner or anything.

But it was a necessary etiquette for high society.

Alice and Alan also felt kindness and warmth, and the guests of honor were happy.

There is no hurry for intelligence or anything, for a long time in the future, both of them will stay in the Alliance Army as guests.

Moreover, Alice and Alan have suffered enough in the slave camp during this time, and they have been on the road for the past two days, and now they also need to rest.

After the dinner, the two went back to their rooms early to rest.

In the banquet hall, the people dispersed.

There were no outsiders, and Caterina and Ji Xun chatted while eating.

"Ji Xun, I find that every time I meet you, you will surprise me."

"Huh."

"If you're not in a hurry, stay a few more days?"

"Probably going to go. I still have some things to do. ”

"Oh."

The table was full of red, green, and yellow fruits; There is also a roast chicken with golden oil, a crispy suckling pig, and a barbecue with a fragrant sauce

Although the environment is a little simple, the chefs are all aristocratic chefs, and the taste of the food is impeccable.

Ji Xun has been eating marching food with the Stinging Snake Legion recently, and he is about to vomit.

It's rare to have so much exquisite food, and he also eats it with relish.

On the opposite side, the firelight on the candlestick swayed slightly, reflecting a beautiful face.

A dressed Caterina elegantly cuts off a piece of food with a knife and puts it in her mouth, chewing slowly.

"You've helped me a lot this time, and I don't know how to thank you."

“.”

Ji Xun smiled disapprehantly.

The two of them have been through life and death, and they are not the kind of friends who need to be polite.

Caterina only muttered a sentence and did not continue to mention the topic.

She turned to it in a very calm tone: "The last battle at the Nuggets Pier, I almost died."

Ji Xun glanced at her: "."

Caterina was calm, but thought of what it was, and said, "By the way, do you remember the last time we met, you said that you invited me for a drink?" ”

Ji Xun said: "Remember." ”

Caterina suddenly raised her wine glass and smiled: "Have a drink?" ”

As she spoke, she added with emotion: "I don't know if we can still drink together like this next time." ”

War has always been brutal.

Especially this war with a huge disparity in strength.

No one can guarantee that they will survive to the end.

Hearing this, Ji Xun's eyes also flashed a different color, and then he retracted and raised his glass: "Cheers." ”

The melodious music is still playing.

The two drank a few glasses.

Like the atmosphere of an old friend, slightly drunk, just right.

Caterina suddenly became interested and proposed, "Why don't you dance with me?" ”

Ji Xun glanced at her and said with a smile: "Why are you suddenly interested?" ”

Caterina seemed to think of something, and complained with a smile: "Do you remember the previous times you invited me to dance, and they all came with a purpose?" The time of the Rose Manor, the time of the Cao family. It's all about asking for information. At that time, I said, next time, can you be more pure and invite me to dance? ”

Ji Xun remembered this.

Recall that this is true, before in the Rose Manor, when she was still an undercover agent of the Silver Moon Sect, she purposefully invited Caterina to dance her first dance.

The last few times are about the same.

Thinking that the other party was interested, Ji Xun also got up, bowed down very gentlemanly and invited: "Do I have the honor to invite the beautiful Miss Carter to dance?" ”

Hearing this, Caterina's slender neck rose high like a swan, stretched out her slender hand, and happily agreed: "Of course." It's also my pleasure~"

There were only two people in the room.

They danced with light dance steps.

Ji Xun also felt that this state was very relaxed.

Jumping, chatting.

"By the way, what's going on on with you lately?"

"On the eastern continent, the Federal Parliament has completely existed in name only, and the royal family of Orlan has been restored. It is said that Arthur, the new king of Oran, has successfully entered the seventh order, leading the four knights of his majesty to sweep through the major families of the council. The Bai family also became high priests."

"Oh?"

"The good news is that after this restoration, the royal family of Oran finally sensed the crisis and made public the royal secrets that had been sealed for 3,000 years. As long as you are loyal to the royal family, you can get the inheritance of the super-level card master. However, the high-level resources of the Eastern Wilderness are too scarce, and even if there are those inheritances, it is difficult to make a breakthrough."

"The new king of Orlan is also very ambitious, and he doesn't want to be trapped in the Eastern Wilderness. I estimate that after he completes the integration of the major forces of the Federation, he will definitely find a way to come to the Old Continent. After all, now in the Alliance Army, I have already discovered the dark lines and shadows planted by the Orlan royal family in advance."

"The royal family of Oran seems to be conducting a covert operation, they are looking for some ancient heritage of the Taron dynasty. My people have spotted some of their wilderness hunting teams in the depths of the ruins and don't know what they're looking for."

“.”

There were no surprises in the restoration of the royal court of Ji Xun Oran.

This is what Jia Yu has deduced a long time ago.

At present, the great enemy, and the several major families of the Federation have no ability to deal with it, so they must need a leader.

The strength of the Oran royal court is unrivaled in the Eastern Wilderness, and restoration is inevitable.

Moreover, after all, the Augustan royal family is a lineage of the Talon royal family three thousand years ago, and they have the secret information of the Old World that others cannot imagine, and they will definitely not be trapped in the Eastern Wilderness.

The exile has been arranged for two hundred years, and some of the methods are normal.

Ji Xun listened to the news of the Eastern Continent during this time, and did not feel strange, but felt that this complicated situation was becoming more and more lively.

Very good.

The dance music is light and soft like the atmosphere in the room.

Ji Xun was very gentlemanly and danced with Katarina's soft waist.

The two were close together, and he could clearly sense the vigorous heartbeat in each other's chests.

Katerina was half a head shorter than Ji Xun, and a pretty face happened to be in front of her.

Suddenly, Ji Xun discovered something: "Hey, your 'qi' is very special." ”

Caterina has a tsundere look that only shows to her friends, as if to say: You just found out.

She smiled and said, "Gong Wu seniors taught it." ”

Ji Xun was surprised when he heard this: "Huh? ”

Katerina seemed to anticipate his expression, and said, "After the last time I saw the Nuggets Pier. The palace senior said that I had a good talent and gave me some pointers. ”

"Oh."

Ji Xun listened to it suddenly.

Although Caterina is not a hero, she has condensed the hero's life.

It's normal for Miyatake to be interested in pointing.

Katerina also smiled lightly: "The seniors also said, let me learn in the future, beat you." ”

“.”

Ji Xun glanced at him.

However, if you look closely, Katarina has indeed changed a lot, and her strength has visibly become stronger.

However, it was this glance down, in addition to seeing the qi, Ji Xun also saw the pride of a white flower.

Because the distance is very close, you can see clearly.

Warm as jade.

Caterina wore a low-cut golden court dress today, with layers of lace and silk hems as light and flowing as clouds.

This is a dress that suits her temperament very well.

The graceful figure of youth and the trace of charming and vulgar sexiness are vividly displayed.

Originally, this glimpse was nothing.

The relationship between the two does not need to be shy about at all.

Convergence, even if it didn't happen.

However, Caterina caught Ji Xun's gaze, a playful smile flashed in her crystal eyes, and she took the initiative to tease: "Yo, now you know how to avoid it?" ”

The tone seemed to say again, it was a time when it was cooler than this before, but it was completely unrestrained.

Ji Xun heard this and glanced at her.

Caterina held her snow-white neck high, her eyes were clear and crystalline, and she said again in an uncaring tone: "It's not that I haven't seen it." If you want to see it, you can see it generously. ”

“.”

Ji Xun listened to the words of approval, and was speechless for a while.

I think about it, I think I've seen it many times.

It just so happened that at this time, the rhythm of the dance music changed, and the large piece fell softly.

Under the bright lights, Caterina had a bright smile on her pretty face like a victorious general.

She happily stepped on the drums of dance music and spun in circles.

At this moment, she is elegant and beautiful, and she is generous.

PS. There are pictures, Caterina in the court dress (etc.) .jpg
