"You have to be careful with the Bai family. Those guys didn't succeed last time, and this time there is such a big mess, they will definitely come to trouble you again. ”

"Hmm. But I don't think they dare to come anytime soon. ”

"It's good if you have your own number. Take care. ”

"Good. Aunt Qin, see you next time. ”

"Hmm."

“.”

Qin Ruye's injuries had almost recovered.

She also had to go to a few Bai family ancestral lands to find the inheritance of the God Stealer sequence.

It was a trial and test for her alone.

Ji Xun didn't feel that his strength was qualified to follow.

The two parted.

The sound of battle could already be heard near this swamp, and Ji Xun didn't plan to stay where he was, so he turned to leave.

As for the threat of the Bai family, Ji Xun didn't take it to heart.

The feud had already been settled, and he didn't think it made any difference to have a little more hatred.

And as long as those guys are not stupid, they will definitely be able to guess that Ji Xun and a few people can survive the interception in the Southern Continent, and they must have super means.

If you are not sure, you will never show your face easily.

What's more, the people who came to the plague swamp this time were all the elite of the Bai family, and they suffered heavy losses, and there was a high probability that it would stop for a long time.

As for the loot in the [DP-955 Research Institute], the good things are at the bottom, and Ji Xun feels that there is no need to think about it in a short time.

The average person can't take it away.

There is the unsolvable Leech Emperor guarding it, and the seventh order is sent to death.

And the jar has been taken away, and the top powerhouses in the Southern Continent probably have little interest in taking risks.

Ji Xun thought about when he had enough strength, and then he would think about it.

He figured that Master Merlin must be very interested in those research materials and the [Leech Emperor] something, and after sending a message to Caterina, he left the Plague Swamp.

These days, there is a massive influx of adventurers from the Southern Continent to the Old World.

In addition to the Serpent Legion, there are several other legions near the Plague Swamp.

The news of the annihilation of the Thorn Snake Legion soon spread among those adventurers in the Southern Continent.

But almost no one knows what's going on.

This also attracted a large number of curious people to explore the ruins of the institute deep in the swamp.

However, the [Corrupt Man Mushroom] is in some ways trickier than the [Leech Emperor].

There were only dead people and a large number of highly toxic spores in that area, and after a few waves of deaths, there were fewer adventurers to join in the fun.

A few days later.

In the dark valley, a heavily armed mercenary escorted supplies and walked forward without hurry.

There was a thick smell of decay in the air.

On the bare glowing branches, a few red-eyed crows stood, staring at the crowd as they walked by.

This is the road and is marked on the map as a danger zone in the Valley of Death.

There used to be an ancient battlefield near here, and a large number of living beings died, so there were a large number of necromantic monsters.

The mercenaries escorted supplies all the way, and the losses were not small.

"Oh, damn ghouls, we've lost three more brothers."

"Brothers, keep an eye on it, this is a material commissioned by the Royal Academy, don't make a mistake. There are still 70 kilometers to go, cheer up! ”

"Commander, we have transported the supplies this time, do you really want to go to the Roune Heights to have a look?"

"Of course I'm going to check it out."

"But I've heard that it's a necromantic wasteland, full of necromantic monsters, and the casualty rate of exploration is very high."

"Brother Lamb, I don't understand this. Don't you understand that our shipment is for the 'Royal Academy'? The supplies arrived first, and the large troops of the academy should come later. Do you think the intelligence of the noble lords can be poor? I suspect that there must be some great treasure in the Rune High Metro for the nobles to come. Let's try our luck first."

"The head of the regiment is right! Hey Scar, do you know what 'rune' means? ”

"Yo, I almost forgot that you were an archaeologist. Tell me about it."

"In ancient texts, it is said that the lune is the origin of all incantations, and that is the symbolic manifestation of the laws of the universe. It is said that each 'Rune Rune' has a magical supernatural ability, and if you get it, you can get a glimpse of the secret of the law of high Heaven, and the wasteland in the northeast was called this name tens of thousands of years ago, but strangely, there is almost no record of that wasteland even during the Talen period. Now that the kingdom's top brass is still eyeing it, do you think there will be no secrets? ”

“.”

In the Smoke Gun Mercenary Group, an ordinary middle-aged swordsman sat on a cart pulled by the Demon Beast, lazily listening to the other people's chatter.

That's right, this is Ji Xun in disguise.

Normally, there was such a big disturbance in the Plague Swamp before, and Ji Xun, an important participant, should have fled far away.

But he didn't.

Darkness is often the safest.

He was confident that his disguise was flawless.

There are many treasures such as [Clown Mask] and [Hero Cloak], and they are not afraid of being discovered by the enemy by mysterious means.

What's more, after getting the trophies of the "Black Widow" Heather and several people, Ji Xun also strengthened his idea of continuing to fish in troubled waters among these people in the Southern Continent.

The Old World is so big that the deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes.

He really wants to go on a solitary treasure hunt like a headless fly, not to mention the low efficiency, and the harvest will not meet expectations.

There are ready-made and systematic cards on these guys in the Southern Continent, and there is no broken card master inheritance!

As far as the trophies of Heather's people are concerned, being placed in the Eastern Wilderness is definitely a major discovery that can subvert the entire card master world.

This is much more efficient than Ji Xun alone, or even countless teams going to the ancient ruins to excavate little by little.

And most importantly - intelligence!

The Errel Empire has mobilized a large number of legions and adventurers to exploit the Old World, and its huge population base has also supported a vast intelligence network.

Ji Xun needs this information.

He wants to prepare himself for the next step.

He chose this escort team because their destination was the Heights of Lune.

Ji Xun has a mysterious map in his hand that he obtained from the rebel camp in Valen City.

After pondering for so long, he suspected that the Lune Heights pointed to on the map might be related to the Mausoleum of Augustus.

Before, he wanted to go, but he felt that he was not sure about going alone.

But right now, the opportunity is perfect.

Relying on a large number of adventurers, those people in the Southern Continent have explored several relatively safe routes.

It's a lot safer to follow this team.

And Ji Xun accompanied him all the way, and he also heard a lot of information that he was interested in.

Like what.

This statement about the "Lune Heights".

The people are not without masters, and these professional mercenaries who lick blood from the knife edge have an even more sensitive sense of smell for treasures than those of the higher-ups.

And what kind of "supplies from the Royal Academy".

Ji Xun used that information to deduce some details that were more detailed than those of the mercenaries.

He had looked at the escorted supplies before, and found that there were some luxury daily necessities that had nothing to do with adventure, but were necessary for the life of the aristocracy.

Like gold cups, silver plates, and imitation blankets.

That is to say, there may be a "Royal Academy Noble Regiment" already on its way.

Only those aristocratic young masters and young ladies would be so arrogant.

This made Ji Xun very interested.

What is there in the Heights of Lune is not to be said for now.

But at least. In his eyes, the trials of the Royal Academy are a treasure trove of walking.

The Southern Continent was a pure royal society, and the nobility had absolutely high-end resources in their hands.

According to Aragorn, the Southern Continent inherited the vast majority of the fifty-two sequences.

And there is a sequence that really goes straight to the god level!

And the vast majority of those inheritances that have not been broken are in the hands of those big nobles!

This is something that countless "Black Widow" Heather and other civil mercenary captains can't compare.

And the Aire Royal Imperial Academy is the first aristocratic academy in the empire, and the students in it are either rich or expensive.

Ji Xun likes all kinds of nobles and young ladies the most.

Those noble cadets are now going to the heights of Lune, and there must be something different.

This made Ji Xun more sure of his speculation: somewhere in that wasteland, it is really possible that the Mausoleum of Emperor Augustus is located!

Seventy kilometers was not a fast walk, killing hundreds of necromantic monsters along the way, and after most of the day, the escort team of the Big Smoke Gun Mercenary Regiment arrived at the "Valley of Sorrow Camp".

This is further west, the Heights of Lune.

By the time they arrived, a makeshift camp made of huge logs had been erected in the valley.

Campfires were alive in the camp, and adventurers in armor and swords came and went.

It's a bustling scene.

Ji Xun is already familiar with the rhythm of spy life.

After he came, he didn't rush to run around, so he asked for information everywhere.

As soon as he arrived at the camp, he noticed an anomaly.

There are three regular legions of the same size as the "Stinging Serpent Legion".

Well-trained, and there are many high-level card masters.

But these regular soldiers didn't come to explore at first glance, they were more like they had come to explore the way in advance, clear the obstacles, and meet those noble young masters and young ladies of the Royal Academy Trial Group behind.

The task of exploration fell to mercenaries and hunters.

These people from the Southern Continent have been here for many days, and a lot of information has been piled up in the camp.

"This Rune Heights is really evil. I heard that there were more than 300 people in the 'Redbeard Regiment' yesterday, and in the end, only the regiment leader, Old Bourne, came back alive, saying that he had encountered an undead bone dragon."

"Hiss?"

"It's not just bone dragons. There are also Necromantic Giants, Beamon, Human-Faced Ghost Spiders, and Demonized Treants. These are all high-ranking necromantic species that can give birth to legendary monsters. I don't know where so many rare species come from in this place."

"yes. There is also a necromancer who has found professional materials. It is said that a few days ago, a lucky guy captured a sixth-order mythical necromantic monster [Terrifying Griffin], and his combat power was close to the seventh-order."

"Hey, that's a good pet. It's really going back to the Imperial Auction, and it's definitely worth more than 10 million gold coins."

"This Rune Heights is a treasure land for necromantic and dark card masters, but for us, except for monsters, we haven't found a single valuable ancient ruin. I don't know what to discover. If it weren't for the fact that the commission was so high, I would have wanted to leave."

"Hey, you don't understand, do you? It is said that several extradimensional spaces have been discovered, all of which are related to the mausoleum, and I estimate that there may be a large mausoleum near here. Didn't you see that the three kingdoms have official legions coming? There's going to be a big event here! ”

"I hope so. There are not enough war slaves, and I hope that the wasteland hunting team can catch more people from the Eastern Wilderness to make up the number. Otherwise, it's up to us, I don't know how many people will have to die to find out such a large wasteland."

"yes. But then again, have you heard that something happened to the Plague Swamp?"

“.”

Ji Xun walked around the camp and had already heard a lot of fragmentary information.

As expected, this Lune Heights is very dangerous.

However, Ji Xun listened to it, and his heart became more and more strange: Why did so many necromantic monsters appear here?

Like a bone dragon, a giant, a Beamon, a griffon.

Those mythical necromancy, which is extremely rare.

Under normal circumstances, not to mention the appearance of a pile, it is the feeling of hitting a body of great luck.

There are a lot of these Lune Heights?

Adventurers are at a loss.

But when Ji Xun heard that information, he had a familiar feeling in his mind.

Because he encountered it once.

Once upon a time, the Silvermoon Cult had summoned bone dragons and giants in the City of Innocence.

And that backbone hunchbacked old Duan used a legendary spell - the undead natural disaster!

So Ji Xun instinctively thought of a possibility in his mind: Could it be that there are so many rare necromancers in this Lune Heights because someone once released a large-scale undead natural disaster?

The more he deduced, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.

Perhaps thousands of years ago, there was an unknown battle here.

Flashing for days.

Ji Xun stayed in the camp.

Every day, large numbers of people pour into the Screaming Valley camp from elsewhere.

There are also plenty of adventurers who go to the wilderness to explore.

All sorts of new information came back to the camp one after another.

While inquiring about the information, Ji Xun also found that there were more and more regular troops in the camp, and there were some military guards disguised as adventurers in the crowd.

Seeing this, Ji Xun also knew that those adults from the Royal Academy were about to come.

this day.

Ji Xun drank in the humble hunter's tavern as usual, listening to the information brought by the hunters from all directions.

He is now called "Sean".

Because he predicted the arrival of the Royal Academy Regiment, Ji Xun disguised the identity of this "intelligence merchant" who would be convenient for blending into the ranks of those nobles in the future.

In the past few days, he has become very familiar with the adventurers in the tavern.

It's a little famous.

Just wait for the official legion to recruit you.

However, he didn't wait for the academy group, but first waited for a wanted warrant that surprised him.

While drinking, several sergeants in bright armor held a wanted notice and posted it in the most conspicuous position on the notice board of the tavern.

This also immediately attracted the curiosity of Ji Xun and a group of drinkers.

"Yo, the S-class bounty wanted from the kingdom"

"What's the situation with this guy, he's not at the seventh order, why is he on the S-level wanted list? Ouch, the bounty for providing clues is only 3 million gold coins? What the hell is going on, the bounty is so high? This is comparable to the cadres of the rebel dragon army."

"Could it be the Plague Swamp?"

"Probably not. This is a wanted notice issued by the Red Dragon Royal Family. According to the urine nature of the royal family, I didn't dare to say the reason for the wanted, maybe it was involved in some royal scandal. ”

"Hey, the timing of this wanted warrant reminds me of a bit of gossip. According to the people of the transport team, most of the month ago, the treasure house of the Red Dragon Royal Family was stolen and a very important treasure was lost. At that time, the royal capital was in an uproar, but the strange thing is that the royal family was only looking for someone, but they never told the public that they had lost anything."

"The theft of the royal capital, why are all the wanted warrants sent to the Old Continent? Looking at the description on the wanted warrant, is this person still a professional spy in the Eastern Wilderness? ”

"Hey, interesting."

“.”

Everyone was surprised.

Many of the adventurers who came from the Southern Continent this time were criminals who had been sent to the Old Continent to atone for their sins.

So it is impossible for any wanted warrant to be sent to the Old Continent.

Ji Xun was also puzzled.

At first glance, he thought that the description of "suspected spy in the Eastern Wilderness" on the bounty notice was posted on him.

But no.

The masked portrait on the wanted warrant is clearly a woman.

Although you can't see the face, the "ball head" hairstyle is very expressive.

Ji Xun always felt like a certain Miss Ballhead he knew.

But

The southern continent is so far away, so the girl won't steal things and run to the Red Dragon King's capital, right?

"What's the situation?"

The expression in Ji Xun's eyes was slightly strange.

But after thinking about it, it is not surprising that Nanjing's means of being able to get out of the gate of the underworld can run to the Southern Continent.

But what did she steal?

Ji Xun was also extremely curious.

However, it's good that you don't get caught.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden commotion in the camp outside the tavern.

I don't know who shouted at the top of his voice: "Come and see!" We've got a big guy in the camp! What a lot of big guys! ”

Ji Xun listened to the light of his eyes retracting from the wanted warrant, and muttered, "Is it finally here?" ”

I've been preparing for so long, and it's finally here.

"Ouch, why are there so many noble young masters and young ladies all of a sudden?"

"Oh my God, the one in the lead. It can't be His Royal Highness Salo, the nineteenth prince of the royal family, right? ”

"Really! Look at the other lady in the princess dress, that is Miss Caroline, the second princess of the Duke of Dewushan's family."

"The red-haired one is Young Master Baker of the Count of Pompeii. I was once employed by their family's chamber of commerce, and I met that young master once."

"What are these big guys doing here?"

"Oh, I see, this must be the graduation test of the Royal Academy! I didn't expect the teachers of the academy to choose this year's trial site to the Old World."

“.”

Ji Xun stood on the second floor of the tavern, looking at the street, and the mighty knight legion surrounded a group of young nobles into the camp.

He listened to the fingers of those around him, and matched the names and identities of those people.

Sensing the qi, Ji Xun's slightly narrowed eyes were filled with coldness: "It's all strong."

The graduates of the Royal Academy, the worst are all third-order card masters.

Among these young nobles of the same age as themselves in front of them, there were even fourth- and fifth-order existences.

It's not just Dragonborn with high bloodline purity.

And they are all elites who have been piled up with the best resources since childhood.

The combat power should definitely not be underestimated.

The status is also very noble.

In the trial group of dozens of people in front of him, several princes and princesses came.

Ji Xun has never despised these people.

But seeing the heritage of the nobility with his own eyes, he still feels that the adventurers underestimate the nobility.

These young masters and young ladies are not the legendary "people are stupid and have a lot of money".

On the contrary, they are generally strong and excellent.

Dragons are sexually sexually sexually sexual, and can even ignore racial mating.

As dragonborns, the nobles of the empire naturally inherited related habits.

The nobles were revered for the concentration of the Dragonborn bloodline.

Therefore, the higher the aristocracy, the more chaotic life will be, and the more life will be.

It is said that the current king of the Red Dragon Kingdom has more than three digits of descendants.

But with so many princes and princesses, it is impossible for them all to inherit.

Therefore, the struggle for royal power in the Southern Continent is also extremely cruel.

Under the cruelty, it must be the strong who are respected.

This group of young aristocrats is not simple.

After writing down the appearance and relevant information of all the people in the trial group, Ji Xun's thoughts also deduced, determined something, and said in his heart: "Here are these princes, so to speak, these royal families are here for that big sword."

Before, it was just a suspicion.

But now looking at those princes, he was almost 100% sure that the Mausoleum of Augustus was in the heights of Rune.

It looks like a graduation trial.

In fact, it may be a means of fighting for royal power.

After all, Aragorn said before that the [Olympus Holy Sword] of the four kingship holy weapons is most likely in the tomb of King Augustus.

Some well-informed royal families have already reached out.

Because of the early speculation, Ji Xun did not have any accidents.

He watched as the group of nobles walked into the apartment built for them in the center of the camp amid the prostration and welcome of the hunters.

He also focused on observing the accompanying guards and found many masters.

"It's not a good chance."

Ji Xun looked at it, and he also pondered in his heart.

Unless this group of noble young masters and young ladies are personally in danger, with this defensive force, Ji Xun's strength may not even be able to pass through the peripheral guards.

The content of the graduation trial of the Royal Academy is not clear to the people at the bottom, and Ji Xun does not have enough information to deduce what they will do in the future.

But he wasn't in a hurry either.

As far as the current intelligence goes, the risk in the Heights of Rune is much higher than in the Plague Swamp.

As long as this group of people wants to go on an adventure, they may not wait for an opportunity.

The nobles and young masters all entered the tent, and the crowd dispersed.

Behind them were supplies, servants, and slaves.

There's nothing buzz to see.

The slaves were all outside the camp, chained like cattle, and kept in a heap.

Ji Xun glanced at it casually.

These are cannon fodder consumables, and you don't need to pay too much attention to them originally.

However, at this glance, he was suddenly stunned, and suddenly wondered in his heart: "Huh? ”

Even blinked, almost thinking that he was wrong.

After taking a closer look, Ji Xun was sure that he was not mistaken, his eyelids jumped violently, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "It's not good for you to arrest anyone, but you just arrested this one?" ”

Recently, people in the Southern Continent have indeed been catching slaves everywhere.

There are also many people in the Old Continent in the Eastern Wilderness, and if they are caught, they will not be killed, but will be used as cannon fodder.

But on the contrary.

They caught one of the people they shouldn't have caught this time.

"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've seen the old-timers."

Ji Xun recognized the person and grinned playfully.

He didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance in this way.

If you don't see a chance before.

So now, when he saw the slave, Ji Xun saw it.

The old man with a slave collar around his neck, his front teeth open, and his obscene little eyes rolling

It's not the old man Xu who hasn't been seen for a long time, who is it?

If he really wants to capture others as slaves, even if it is a hero like Aragorn, Ji Xun feels that the future is unpredictable.

But on the contrary, you arrested Old Man Xu, a "plague god"-like guy?

Judging from the experience of several previous encounters, this guy is a "death anchor".

Ji Xun only saw one result in his eyes.

Whatever happens in the future,

Old man Xu will live,

Others, life is not hard enough, they have to die.
