Cataclysm King

Chapter 529 How to relieve worries? Rob and get rich!
"Oh, interesting. This is actually an 'ancient magic safety door'."

Ji Xun used one hand to stop two magic-destroying crossbow arrows that were about to be shot towards his face.

As soon as the three of them walked to this place, they triggered the mechanism.

Just these two crossbow arrows are enough to kill most intruders.

But for the three people who had anticipated this, it had no effect at all.

Ji Xun was not surprised by the mechanism. Instead, he had an interested smile on his face and said, "This is a relic from the Alterac era. The forging technology has been lost now. I didn't expect to see it here. It was probably dug out from the tomb of some noble. Wow, what a good thing. In terms of rarity, it is even better than some level 5 relics."

"Oh?"

Qin Rushi only realized how rare it was when she listened to Ji Xun's introduction of the gate with complex magical patterns.

There was also anticipation in her eyes.

Afraid of triggering other mechanisms, Ji Xun did not dare to move, and pondered: "It is a triple-encrypted special magic lock. If the biometrics, voice and password are wrong, the locking mechanism will be triggered. Wow, it's amazing. This technology is really as advanced as recorded in the classics."

He just stood there and observed for a while, and the more he looked, the more surprised he felt.

Before, he had only guessed that there must be a lot of good things in the treasure house of the leader of the "Forty Thieves", but he was not sure until he saw it with his own eyes.

And now looking at the magic door of the treasure house, he was sure that there must be treasures inside!

If he was not in a hurry, he would be really interested in studying how to crack this magic door.

But time waits for no one.

Ji Xun greeted Ivan, and in a blink of an eye, a distorted space appeared at the door.

This magic door does have a space interference restriction. At least Ji Xun's current level of comprehension of the laws of space is not enough to break that restriction.

But for Ivan, it was just a job of consuming a few pieces of cake.

As soon as the space door opened, the scene in the treasure house came into view.

Before Ji Xun and the other two even walked in, they were stunned by the luxurious scene before them, which was like a museum.

Even though Ji Xun had seen a lot of things, he couldn't help but sigh: "This guy is really a big collector!"

Most big thieves are collectors.

There are so many things to grab and so much to say, and many of them cannot be exposed, so I have to find some fun for myself.

In the end, there is almost only one way, and that is to become a collector.

Moreover, thieves deal with treasures all year round and study them for a long time, and they inexplicably become experts.

So it is almost a rule to have a private collection trove.

When Ji Xun guessed that the leader of the "Forty Thieves" was "Count Misty Mountain" Rostov, he guessed that this guy might be a collector.

I just didn't expect that this guy has such a high level in the field of collection.

The magic lamp inlaid with colorful gems illuminated the entire magnificent treasure house. Mountains of jewels, gold and silver objects flickered with a fantastic and mysterious glow under the light.

The three of them walked into the treasury and looked at the hall which covered an area of ​​more than a thousand square meters with wonderful expressions.

Gold, silver and jewelry seemed to be the least valuable things in the treasure house, and they were piled up in the corner.

And those fine collections are covered in glass cases, just like in a museum.

Well preserved, and easy to appreciate.

Ji Xun took a quick look and was dazzled by those ancient relics that bore strong marks of the times.

Like [Azbek's Cursed Dagger], [Aladdin's Cursed Lamp], [King Solomon's Magic Carpet], [Lanling King's Dice], [Dagda's Magic Cauldron], [Pharaoh's Golden Serpent Scepter], [Book of the Dead Volume 3].
Each of these things is priceless.

And each one has a history.

In the classics that Ji Xun had read before and in the bounty notices of the bounty union, he had seen the origins of almost every item.

There were also a few collections that Ji Xun had seen before at the Royal Academy.

These are the treasures obtained by the “Forty Thieves” in their robberies.

In addition to these visible items, there are also a large number of items packed in boxes that cannot be placed.

All of them are exquisite.

“What a great thing.”

Ji Xun was overwhelmed and his eyes were almost blinded by the light of the treasures in the room.

"Ah."

Qin Rushi couldn't hide the joy in her crystal eyes.

I have to say that Count Fog Mountain has a very high level of aesthetic taste.

It was not like the sloppy and messy warehouse of ordinary thieves.

The various designs in his treasure trove are highly artistic.

Various items are classified according to value and preference and displayed in a clear order of priority.

Each of these ancient relics with magical effects in the glass cabinets before us is worth a fortune in the market.

Although most of the relics have requirements for career sequences and Ji Xun has no use for them, no one would complain about having too many treasures.

Now, it's time for these things to change hands.

Everything had to be moved, so there was no rush to look at it carefully.

Ji Xun walked over and looked at the shelf full of books.

This time, I found another surprise.

For collectors, extraordinary classics are definitely a very important collection direction.

The books that can be put on the bookshelf are all rare classics, and they are clearly classified.

Martial arts, spells, weapons, breathing techniques, dragon taming, spiritualism.
Ji Xun picked up two books and took a look. They were at least secret technique level books.

He looked at these books, motioned to Qin Rushi beside him, and said with a smile: "Hehe, no wonder the gang members of the Forty Thieves have so many strange methods, the source and reason are here"

During the previous battle, he discovered that almost all of the forty thieves knew a few secret techniques.

Qin Rushi also flipped through two books, nodded and sighed: "This collection is really too exaggerated."

If we really talk about value, this is even richer than the collection at their Revolutionary Army Headquarters.

Both of them expressed surprise, but not much surprise.

After all, items like classics can be copied, and the "Forty Thieves" have been active for so many years, so they have accumulated so many of them over the years.

As Ji Xun looked at it, he discovered a special display cabinet on the bookshelf.

Picking up a book at random, his expression lit up: "Sure enough, there is such a collection!"

Speaking of collectors’ top choices, the card master’s “Fifty-two Demon Sequence” is unavoidable.

The Earl of Misty Mountain is of course no exception.

Ji Xun took a look at the book cover and, not surprisingly, it contained all the things he had seen on the black market before.

There are also a few that I haven’t seen on the black market.

After counting, there are thirteen magical secret techniques in total.

There are nearly a hundred versions scattered around.

The threshold for entry into the magic secrets is very high, and it is highly consistent with the professional sequence, so the magic secrets of other sequences are generally useless to card masters. Even if it is from one's own sequence, it is very difficult to comprehend and enter.

For ordinary people, the collection value of these things is far greater than their actual value.

The same is true for the Count of Misty Mountain.

But for Ji Xun, it is a good thing.

JOKER has a very high affinity for the entire sequence. As long as he is given time, he will slowly learn it.

What surprised Ji Xun even more was that he saw two boxes in the most conspicuous place.

When I opened the box, I found two broken copper pieces inside.

Ji Xun looked at the two copper plate fragments and exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, it's the original copper plate!"

It's obvious that this thing came from the Royal Academy. It might have been hidden and not reported, or it might have not been sent away in time.

Now it's cheap for them.

Coincidentally, Ji Xun could actually understand part of one of the pieces. It seemed to be the secret method of "gluttony"?
He had obtained some introductory mantras at the Royal Academy before, and knew that the Royal Academy had the fragment that Gong Wu did not have. He did not expect that it would fall into the hands of the thief leader by such a coincidence.

Qin Rushi looked at the two copper pieces and a look of joy appeared on her face.

There is a saying in the Bai family's inheritance that the fifty-two copper pieces are the foundation of the Kashi civilization, and being able to obtain them is a great fortune.

She picked up another piece and looked at it. The immortals had added some knowledge to her, and saw some clues. She said, "This piece seems to be a magic healing sequence."

Ji Xun was very familiar with the collection of the Imperial Academy. When he heard this, he said, "Then it should be the "Resurrection Sacrifice."

As they watched, the two of them stuffed all the things into the storage space.

The peacock had no interest in these human artifacts, so she just wandered around in the treasure house.

I originally wanted to pick out a few nice pieces from those sparkling jewels.

However, unexpectedly, she suddenly encountered an "air wall".

Peacock touched the front and felt a layer of nothingness that felt like silk. He exclaimed softly, "Hey, there's something here."

When Ji Xun heard this, a hint of surprise appeared on his face and he immediately walked over.

He reached out and touched it, then he realized that it was an oversized invisible magic carpet - [The Crusaders' Invisible Magic Carpet].

"Oh, it's the legendary legion relic."

Ji Xun sighed.

It is another famous ancient relic in history.

With a slight pull, ripples seemed to appear in the air, revealing its true appearance.

It turns out that there is a separate secret space in this treasure house.

Hidden under the magic carpet is an altar.

Ji Xun and the other two gathered around the black stone altar that covered an area of ​​100 square meters in front of them and observed it carefully.

Complex magic patterns formed the basic structure of an altar, with a black armor in the center.

Looking at the specifications of the altar, Ji Xun chuckled: "So they were secretly worshipping an alien god." He was very familiar with the altars of alien gods. As soon as he saw the posture, he knew that the sacrifice had been going on for quite some time.

In the southern continent, people can only believe in dragons, and belief in foreign gods is considered a heresy and taboo by the Holy See.

This "Count of Misty Mountain" Rostov is not only the leader of the Forty Thieves, but also a believer in the Foreign God.

Ji Xun was just a little surprised, and his attention was focused on the armor in the center of the altar.

There were many marks of swords and knives on the armor, and black air was lingering around it, making it look like an ancient general who died in battle and was sitting there.

After looking at it for a long time, the expression was slightly dazed, giving people an eerie feeling that this armor would come alive at any time.

“It actually has divinity.”

Ji Xun clearly saw the extraordinary properties exuding from the armor, and was curious about which Outer God was being sacrificed.

Qin Rushi sensed it, and said sharply: "What a strong power of war!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xun revealed a hint of realization and said, "It looks like it's directed at the 'Lord of War and Disaster, Monliod'."

Looking at the armor, some information about this Outer God came to his mind.

'Lord of War and Disaster, Monliod' was one of the culprits for the collapse of the Talen Empire three thousand years ago. At the end of Talen, he wanted to go to the Augustus Mausoleum to steal the treasures of the Augustus royal family. However, he was severely injured by the palace master who guarded the mausoleum using the mausoleum's restrictions. Later, he fled to the southern continent.

Ji Xun had heard this history from the old man who was keeping vigil.

It seems that the Lord of War has not had an easy time in the southern continent. For countless years, he can only collect faiths quietly.

These “forty thieves” might be the believers whom He supported.

Qin Rushi agreed with this idea after hearing it.

But it doesn’t matter what kind of Outer God it is.

Qin Rushi looked at the armor with sparkling eyes, and said: "The divinity of this armor contains very strong laws of war, which happens to be of great use to me!"

The laws of war can only be understood by risking one's life on the battlefield, and by feeling the flow of the laws between life and death.

Now it is already available on the armor, and has already condensed into divinity. This is simply a rare treasure for [J War] sequence card masters!
As long as you are not afraid of pollution, you can absorb it directly.

However, Qin Rushi's [God Thief] sequence is not afraid of any contamination from foreign gods.

Ji Xun also laughed and said, "Haha, divine matter is indeed a good thing."

He had previously grown rapidly by poaching from the Silver Moon Sect, so of course he knew the benefits of these divine substances.

If it were someone else, they might still be afraid of this kind of foreign divine item, but these two did not hesitate at all.

To offend one foreign god is an offense, and to offend several is also an offense.

Anyway, if they are determined to follow the path of Card Master, they will definitely come into conflict with the Outer Gods.

Qin Rushi took out the Bai family's secret treasure [Ten Thousand Immortals Lamp], and the immortals directly suppressed the black armor on the altar.

Then the entire armor was sealed inside.

While Ji Xun was sorting out the rune stones on the altar that contained powerful magical power, his thoughts were racing through his mind.

Suddenly he thought of something else and murmured, "Hehe, interesting. These forty thieves are actually related to the Lord of War, and they are the black gloves of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce. Could it be that there are actually people in the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce who are believers of the Lord of War?"

Qin Rushi also expressed his own opinion, saying, "It is very likely. The Lord of War and Disaster needs a large-scale war. It is impossible for Him to just support a few small bandit gangs and leave it at that."

"Ah."

Ji Xun nodded.

He remembered that "Old Xie" had said before that this foreign god had a big plan.

I originally came here just to look for treasures, but unexpectedly I also triggered some surprises.

It seems that the master of war, Giant Spirit City, also has plans and arrangements.

There were constant surprises in the treasury. Ji Xun and the other two didn't take a closer look and soon took away all the contents of the treasury.

When going out, Ji Xun did not forget to lock the magic door.

In this way, even if someone comes, they can't open it.

Once this magic door is locked, it may take ten days or half a month to open it.

Moreover, those people could not have imagined that the treasury was intact and the things inside had been emptied long ago.

The most important thing is that the news that Count Wushan is a believer of the Outer God will be delayed as much as possible.

This will cause much less trouble.

Ji Xun and his friends can't stay in the city for long, so ten days would be perfect.

The three of them left the manor in a swagger.

Before leaving, Ji Xun did not forget to tell the housekeeper that he was going on a long journey.

He estimated that few people knew that the leader of the forty thieves was the camouflaged identity of "Earl of Misty Mountain".

And he didn't leave any clues when he killed people before.

This might make some people who are familiar with Earl Wushan really think that he is going on a long journey.

There was no need to go to such trouble.

After all, their plan was to leave Juling City after rescuing Gong Wu.

But in Ji Xun's deduction, he always felt that the Lord of War Disaster might do something big.

If you tidy up things properly, you will avoid a lot of trouble.

They are not afraid of the Outer God, but it would be best if they could avoid getting involved for now.

After dealing with Count Wushan, Ji Xun and the other two went to East City without stopping.

He did not forget that he was abducted and betrayed by the old woman from the "Owl Magic Shop" on the black market.

It's much easier to deal with this guy.

Although she was a shopkeeper in the black market and had a strong armed force around her, her identity was much easier to investigate than that of the Forty Thieves.

Ji Xun had been in the black market for more than half a year and had already figured it out.

The clone kept staring at her, not giving her any chance to escape.

Go directly to the door and deal with the person.

Then there was the joyful process of collecting the spoils.

Ji Xun and his friends not only got back the things they had paid for the purchases, they also looted the warehouse of the gang behind her.

Unfortunately, the black market is mostly about circulating goods, bought and sold immediately. The inventory cost is very high, and the good stuff has been sold, so it is impossible to accumulate too much.

Although he made a small fortune, it was still far less than the collection of Count Fog Mountain.

No surprise items either.

But probably they were stockpiling goods for some major forces in the war, as the warehouse contained a lot of strategic materials such as magic crystals and spell cards.

Qin Rushi's revolutionary army is just right for this.

It can be considered as another wave of small wealth.

The facts were just as Ji Xun expected.

After they left, unidentified people went to check out the ambush scene, the Wushan Manor, and the old woman's place in the black market.

Unfortunately, Ji Xun and the other two acted so cleanly that no one could guess what had happened.

Moreover, a large number of outsiders pour into the Giant Spirit City every day, and there are gang fights every day, so it is normal to kill and silence them.

No one knows whether this was an accident or what the situation was.

The "Forty Thieves" were a notorious gang, and even the Rainbow Trading Company, their financial backer, dared not make it public.

Not only do they dare not speak out, they even have to hide it.

After all, it involves belief in foreign gods, and no one knows whether it has been exposed or not.

From the ambush to the destruction of the gang of thieves, it took no more than two hours.

Ji Xun and the other two came to South City and reunited with the cadres.

The cadres were still relaxing in the tavern, completely unaware that their leader and Ji Xun had already made a big profit and returned.

Ji Xun and his group were outsiders and had no interpersonal relationships, so even if there were clues, it would be difficult to point to them.

What's more, there are absolutely no clues left.

The only ones worth investigating are the "subordinates of Marquis Herman" left when they checked in, and the broker "Kunlan". Unfortunately, they are all fake identities.

After waiting for two days, no one came to the door, and Ji Xun knew that he was completely safe.

Ji Xun even used his clone to inquire about it. There was no news about the demise of the Forty Thieves Gang in Giant Spirit City. No one even cared about the closure of the "Owl Magic Shop".

In this special period, the black market in Juling City is very large and profitable. It is targeted by many foreign gangs, and everyone is happy to see one less strong competitor.

Ji Xun, Qin Rushi, and Kong Que would stroll around the city every day, eat and drink, and then return to their rooms to count the spoils.

There are so many good things, and the more you clean them up, the more surprises you’ll find.

Qin Rushi originally thought it was a pity that she didn't find suitable materials for advancement during her trip to the southern continent. Unexpectedly, she found the top-quality materials for advancement to the eighth level that the thief leader Necromancer had prepared for her in his storage ring - [Soul Fire of the Sunbird (Epic)].

It was the mythical bird in the [Sun Disk] that Ji Xun and his friends saw in the passage to the underworld before.

Originally, this divine bird had been extinct for countless tens of thousands of years.

But I don't know where the necromancer found the complete body in an ancient cemetery, or if he robbed it.
Also, because the bones were buried long enough, the material had mutated, and contained unique immortal properties and light-related extraordinary properties;
This was inexplicably fitting for Qin Rushi.

Her immortal family can digest those immortal characteristics, and she happens to be in the light system, so the professional card she refines can also possess certain immortal characteristics, which is a surprise beyond her expectations.

Qin Rushi has already found all the materials, and she has been busy preparing to advance to the eighth level.

Ji Xun was also immersed in the classics he had collected.

In a blink of an eye, ten days passed.

The city of Giant Spirits was becoming more and more lively, not only with people flocking in from all over the north to seek refuge.

There are also many rich people.

Because the final of the "King of Gladiators Challenge" is about to begin.
