Cataclysm King Chapter 443

Chapter 443 Three people drink dragon root wine

 The news of the assassination of the Holy See Pope was deliberately suppressed, and few people know about it at present.

And this information is of little use to ordinary people.

But as it happens, there is someone here who is very interested in this information.

Catalina looked at Ji Xun's deep gaze at that moment and the casual and strange expression between his eyebrows, and asked curiously: "What did you think of?"

"This matter may involve a lot."

Ji Xun frowned slightly, as if he didn't know how to express his speculations.

His current "I am the world" ability will cause him to unconsciously deduce any news he hears.

Deduce the motive from the incident itself, and then use the background of the relevant characters to deduce the causes and consequences of the entire incident.

There are not many people who can use the [Holy Sword of Olympus], and Ji Xun thinks there is a high probability that it is Xie Guozhong.

And if it was really his old friend, let alone how he did it, this "motive" would be very puzzling.

Xie Guozhong is an upright man with a full sense of justice.

Why did he want to assassinate the Pope?

The only reasonable explanation Ji Xun could think of might be related to Old Man Xu.

According to the previously learned information, if "Mad King" Alduin hadn't been assassinated three thousand years ago, those outer **** rebels might not have been able to easily capture the imperial city of Behemoth.

Xie Guozhong's situation is very similar.

Ji Xun then thought about the "Illumination Hermitage"'s participation in the battle of Oran's collapse more than two hundred years ago.

It seems that in the shadow of history, there are always some "historical correctors" walking in the dark, influencing the development of civilization.

After deducing this point, Ji Xun seemed to have some fate lines connected in his mind.

Some ordinary people think that the accident of history may be the inevitable result of the layout of some thoughtful people.

Thinking about it this way, even Xie Guozhong was able to fuse the [Jar] and obtain the [Holy Sword of Olympus]. These seemingly accidental changes may not be true accidents.

It may be due to the intervention of some mysterious force,

Under certain conditions, something is bound to happen.

Ji Xun's mind suddenly thought of the big events that had happened in the past.

The mushroom-headed Jia Yu's teacher, the former Light Chaser Gurney, was killed, and Jia Yu pretended to lurk in the X situation. Later, Xie Guozhong went to the Can use Xie Guozhong to bring out the [jar]

When this series of events happened, they seemed to be accidental under the circumstances.

But now if you follow this line of cause and effect backwards, you will find that this kind of incident is completely traceable.

Even if the means are clever enough to intervene from the beginning, it is entirely possible that this matter is a "man-made incident."

It sounds weird.

But the fact is that this is an ability that top extraordinary people can possess.

Before Ji Xun went to the extradimensional space of "Thousands of Army Siege" and met the light chaser Faro and the high priest Nan Shenyu from three thousand years ago, he couldn't believe that someone's ability could be exaggerated enough to affect uncivilized people. Thousands of years in the future.

And Old Man Xu is the "eternal person".

He must have some means beyond what humans can think of.

The corrector of history, the monitor of civilization, or something else.

Ji Xun didn't know how to describe it.

But whether it was the assassination of the Mad King three thousand years ago or the assassination of the Pope now, Ji Xun felt that there was a shadow of this person.

If he lives forever in the years, he will have enough time to plan the results he wants.

As for why the Pope was assassinated this time, Ji Xun still couldn't understand the current situation. He just looked at the recent movements of the Southern Continent into the Old Continent and vaguely guessed that it might be another key turning point for civilization.

It doesn't matter whether you kill him or not. What matters is that once a **** shows his health bar, he is no longer a god.

The Holy Dragon Holy See, which is superior to humans in the southern continent, may be about to undergo a big change.

"So, it probably has something to do with a senior I know."

Ji Xun felt that he might have glimpsed the truth of the incident.

However, the cause and effect involved in Old Man Xu was very special, and he didn't think anyone could have the destiny to know the role he played in history.

Ji Xun chose some of the situations he deduced so that others could understand them, and told them tactfully.

But even though it was very simple, Dong Qi and Catalina beside them were dumbfounded.

I thought it was an accidental assassination, but I didn't expect that it would involve so many things.

However, Catalina also knew that Mr. Xu was special. She heard that Ji Xun deliberately avoided certain questions, and did not ask in detail. She only said: "So, regarding the assassination, do we need to make any preparations? "

"I don't know either"

Ji Xun smiled and shook his head.

It is easy to review and reverse the situation after such an event occurs.

But in an event, it's difficult.

Just like when playing chess, there seem to be countless ways of making moves on both sides of the game.

But after a review, I discovered that there was only one choice.

Ji Xun, who is still in the chess game, has deduced many possibilities, but in his eyes, these still have countless uncertain futures.

It was this uncertainty that made him feel more and more excited about the future.

Dong Qi said in surprise: "You don't even know?"

Catalina was also slightly surprised, thinking that he should at least deduce it or something.

Because this guy always does.

With two pairs of eyes, Ji Xun shrugged helplessly and laughed at himself: "My realm is far from being able to see the layout of that level. Just do what we should do and what we can do."

As for being a chess piece?

He never thought it was a bad thing.

The line of fate is like the grids on a chessboard, and everyone is a chess piece.

Only when you realize that you are a chess piece on the chessboard, can you be qualified to see the chess player and have the possibility of stepping out of the line of fate.

This is also what Farlow, the Light Chaser, once said. This is the only way for human beings to transgress their personality.

It's already a magical experience to be able to glimpse part of the grid on the chessboard now.

As he spoke, Ji Xun thought of something, and added: "But I did deduce something interesting. The Pope is in charge of the [King Power Orb] that represents order. Now that he is assassinated, it means that the original order is in chaos. "

These words were a little confusing, and both women looked at him with question marks on their faces.

Catalina felt that these words had profound meaning, but she couldn't understand it, so she asked: "What do you mean?"

Ji Xun shrugged, indicating that he didn't know.

He thought that another possibility for Xie Guozhong's assassination of the Pope was that he was a Card Master of the Order Path [Diamond 6-Outlaw Madman].

As for the rest, it's hard to say yet.

Ji Xun didn't want to say more on this issue, so he asked instead: "By the way, didn't you say there is another news?"

After hearing this, Catalina came back from her thoughts and said, "There is another one that is a legend."

This legend obviously had a great influence. She paused and then said: "It is said that the relics of Emperor Lanlingst appeared in the southern continent."

"Relics of the Great Emperor?"

Ji Xun's expression froze when he heard this.

Because he knew the exact news that Emperor Lanlingst died during the adventure of exploring the abyss of the southern continent.

In other words, it is possible that the relics of the Great Emperor appear in the Southern Continent.

Catalina nodded and said: "Yes. It is said that the set of artifacts [Curse God Cards] exclusive to the emperor appeared in the world, and adventurers from the southern continent obtained them in the wild, which caused huge waves."

Ji Xun frowned momentarily as he listened.

[Curse God Card] He has heard that it is a magical card that can be engraved with all spells.

It is a battle card and a spell book.

It is said that all the spells collected by Emperor Lanlingst are engraved in that set of cards.

This is the treasure that all card masters dream of.

However, that artifact disappeared along with Emperor Lanlingst, so everything is just a legend.

Catalina didn't get much information, they were all unconfirmed rumors.

The general content is that certain cursed cards appeared, and then a certain adventurer's strength skyrocketed, and there were some gossips about the treasures that caused some murderous and looting conflicts.

The three of them chatted for a while, but they didn't come up with anything.

This kind of thing is difficult to confirm without going to the Southern Continent to look for the actual object in person.

After all, they are both in the [JOKER] sequence, and Ji Xun also has a strong interest in the emperor's relics.

What's more, he had originally planned to visit the Southern Continent.

After all, it takes a lot of insights to understand the realm of all things, and the Royal Card Master Academy of Airel has the richest collection of card master civilization at present.

Now it seems that there is even more reason to go there as soon as possible.

Catalina and Dong Qi both knew about his plan and chatted for a while.

Either he was on an adventure, or he was practicing. This was the Ji Xun they knew, and there was nothing strange about him between the two women.

The main business conversation was almost finished when Catalina suddenly thought of something and asked: "By the way, Ji Xun, how are you doing recently?"

When Ji Xun heard her words and looked at the smile in her crystal eyes, he knew she was asking about "witch pollution".

He replied with a normal expression: "It's pretty ideal. I haven't used [Dark Demon] recently, and the pollution has been suppressed."

When Catalina heard this, she glanced at Dong Qi next to her from the corner of her eye. With a slight smile on her lips, she said, "Oh, that's good."

As she said that, she took out a few wine bottles from the storage ring and put them on the table, "By the way. Aragorn and Alice came here again before. They heard about your situation and entrusted me with it." "Bring you these wines."

Ji Xun looked at the amber wine and recognized it at a glance as the [Heberlin Dragon Root Wine] he drank last time.

Of course he knew what Lagon meant by sending this wine.

This is a very precious secret wine.

It can touch emotions and nourish the body, and can inhibit the witch's distortion to a certain extent.

But you need someone to cooperate with this drink?

Ji Xun looked at the wine bottle and glanced at Catalina.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and he saw the playfulness twinkling in those crystal eyes.

There was a hint of charm in those eyes, as if to suggest: How about I help you suppress it?

This young lady from the Lionheart family was born into a top noble family. She was impeccably reserved and ladylike in front of everyone.

But for Ji Xun, who had had an intimate relationship, she would not do that, and was more like a burning rose.

Ji Xun always felt that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, so he just nodded: "Yeah."

Catalina looked at Ji Xun's timid expression and found it interesting. She chuckled and reminded: "These are the last few bottles of wine. Miss Alice got it with great difficulty. She even brought the recipe with her. Here it is. She said that other materials are fine, but the main material needed for this wine is the material extracted from the pure-blooded dragon, so it is difficult to find."

Ji Xun has long known how special this wine is.

However, Dong Qi on the side was very curious. After listening to the two people saying that this wine was so special and even needed dragon ingredients, she was extremely curious and asked: "Miss Carter, what kind of wine is this?"

She and Catalina had talked a lot just now, and they didn't get along very well.

Asking, she picked up the bottle and looked at it curiously.

This dragon root wine is brewed with countless secret herbs. Even if the bottle cap is not opened, the smell of the wine that leaks out makes people feel happy.

Dong Qi couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, this wine smells so good."

This wine seems to have a magical power on people, making people's bodies and minds eager to have a taste.

Her character was not one to hide her thoughts, and she was not an outsider, so she asked directly: "Can I drink this wine?"

When Catalina heard this, she originally wanted to explain it, but thinking that it was unnecessary for their relationship, she said directly: "Of course."

As she spoke, she even unscrewed the bottle cap and poured half a cup for Dong Qi, "This is [Heberlin Dragon Root Wine], a rare nourishing secret wine."

The amber wine was poured into the cup, and the rich and thick aroma immediately filled the entire room.

Dong Qi picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He immediately brightened up and said in surprise: "Wow! What a strong aroma of wine! This is the richest wine I have ever tasted. It is like the legendary rainbow soda."

Ji Xun has drank it before, and of course he knows that this wine list is definitely the best in terms of taste.

Dong Qi then remembered something: "By the way, Miss Carter, what did you call this wine just now?"

Catalina repeated it: "[Heberlin Dragon Root Wine]." "Oh, that's it."

Dong Qi understood something as soon as she heard the name, but she didn't see any embarrassment on her face, only a slight blush from Jiu Jin'er.

Holding the cup, she seemed a little embarrassed to be eating alone, and asked the two of them, "How about we drink some together?"

She and Ji Xundai were used to it together. Firstly, she really didn't mind any problems. Secondly, no matter how precious something was, she felt it had value only when a friend shared it with her.

It was like Ji Xun gave her the angel mechanical arm.

Isn't wine just for drinking?

As soon as Ji Xun heard her words, he knew that Miss Qiqi had not yet realized the power of the wine.

Oh, that's right, I didn't know it until I suffered a backlash.

In this case, just drink some other wine, but drinking dragon root wine is not right.

Ji Xun didn't know how to persuade him.

However, she didn't say anything. Seeing Dong Qi enthusiastically toasting her invitation, Catalina hesitated for a moment and actually agreed: "Okay. Let's drink some."

As he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to find the embarrassment flashing in Ji Xun's eyes even more interesting.

There is no such scene, it cannot be seen.

Catalina smiled and took over half of the glass of wine that Dong Qi had filled. She raised her glass to signal for clinking.

This young lady from the Lionheart family doesn't mind, Ji Xun certainly doesn't.

After clinking glasses, the three of them continued drinking.

I have to say that after drinking this [Heberlin Dragon Root Wine], everything else becomes bland and tasteless.

And this wine seems to have magic power, the more I drink it, the more I drink it.

Ji Xun had tried it before, but he also felt that this kind of greedy feeling was very good.

The three of them drank and continued to chat about bits and pieces, talking about business, machinery, and some life gossip.

Catalina is very talkative and can always keep people chatting on any topic.

Just like that, before I knew it, the bottle of wine was finished.

Ji Xun and Katarina were able to last for a long time after drinking this wine last time. That was because they were both level six card masters and their bodies had very high resistance.

Although they will also feel the effects of the alcoholic secret medicine, their consciousness is completely fine.

However, Dong Qi, a mechanic, is not that strong.

After drinking two cups, the effects of the medicine spread in her body, and a charming flush appeared on her face.

But after all, the mysterious magic "Deus Ex Machina" also has the first mate to increase mental power, and his consciousness is clear, but his body's reaction is greater than that of Ji Xun and the other two.

As the eldest daughter of a gangster, she had no scruples about what she said. She held up the cup and drank happily, not forgetting to ask: "Miss Carter, why do I feel like my whole body is getting hot after drinking this wine~"

Catalina smiled and said: "Because of the nourishing effect of this secret wine."

Dong Qi said oh, but didn't think anything was wrong, and asked again: "Don't you feel hot?"

As she spoke, she took off her coat, revealing her upper body wearing only a sports vest.

Originally she dressed like this in the apartment.

I only wore a coat today because I had guests. Maybe he was too drunk, or maybe he was familiar with it and had no taboos anymore, so he just took it off.

Ji Xun is not surprised either.

But because of drinking dragon root wine, there was an atmosphere of ambiguity in the air.

Catalina looked at Dong Qi who was wearing cool clothes. Even though she was a woman, she couldn't help but take another look and praised: "Miss Qiqi has such a good figure~"

Dong Qi responded without thinking: "No way. Miss Carter has a great figure. Last time I was in Hong Lou, I realized that you are the girl with the fairest skin I have ever seen."

As she said that, she seemed to remember something, "But having said that, the first time we met was magical~"

Catalina also laughed after hearing this: "Hahaha, it was indeed a bit unpleasant when we first met."

The experience in Hong Lou was something she would never forget. When talking about this topic, that experience instantly came to her mind.

While listening to the conversation between the two, Ji Xun also thought of something and glanced slightly.

Unconsciously, I recalled some of the beautiful scenes from back then.

There were only three of them in the apartment, and they didn't need to care about the eyes of others. When they talked about such a private topic, the atmosphere instantly became warm.

Almost at the same time, Catalina caught a glimpse of Ji Xun's eyes looking at her from the corner of her eye.

How could she not guess what this guy was thinking?

I have seen it many times, and this Lionheart lady has nothing to be embarrassed about.

She caught Ji Xun's gaze, her eyelashes flickered slightly with a hint of cunning, and her slightly open collar was lowered a little, allowing the deep spring light to be seen more clearly.

Ji Xun's eyes turned white and he knew he was being teased again, so he chuckled.

Catalina found it interesting and smiled charmingly.

People who can become friends more or less have some common traits.

This drinking session made Catalina and Dong Qi very familiar with each other.

The three of them drank like this for a while, and the more they talked, the better the atmosphere became.

As a result, Ji Xun and Catalina drank a lot, but Dong Qi was completely drunk.

Miss Qiqi's consciousness was still clear, and her body was a little limp. She didn't shy away from anything, so she leaned against Ji Xun's body intimately.

After all, he felt unwell. Dong Qi stood up unsteadily and said to the two of them, "Ah, it's so hot. Ji Xun, while you chat, I'll take a shower first."

With that said, she walked straight to the bathroom.

Usually the guest says, I'm going to take a shower, which is the end of the chat.

Although Catalina was interested in continuing to watch Ji Xun's little embarrassment, her upbringing allowed her to get up in time and said politely: "Qiqi, there is another negotiation tomorrow. I'll leave first. Let's drink together another day."

However, Dong Qi was not happy with this, and turned around and muttered: "Miss Carter, you are staying at my place tonight, where are you going?"

She knew about Katarina's relationship with Ji Xun and didn't mind.

Besides, she wouldn't mind if they were really friends.

And what's very subtle is that all the rooms in this apartment are connected.

The bathroom is not far away, blocked only by a few pieces of glass.

As usual, Dong Qi took off his vest as he spoke, and his unrestrained upper body was exposed to the light, swaying in a boundless spring.

Catalina, who watched this scene calmly from beginning to end, was slightly startled on her pretty face: "Ah this."

Originally, I didn't want to disturb him. We could choose another time to spend time with Ji Xun.

Before she could think of how to respond, Dong Qi had already stripped naked and walked into the bathroom: "Don't leave. Let's drink some more after I finish washing!"

The tone was not questioning.

It's the "toughness" of being a friend.

Caterina heard it too.

Dong Qi's bathing was not a noble excuse to urge people to leave, but he really wanted her to stay.

She couldn't refuse and hesitated, already hearing the sound of rushing water in her ears.

Dong Qi is filling the bathtub with water.

Catalina couldn't walk, so she simply sat down.

Seeing Dong Qi holding those slender legs and beautiful back, she smiled vaguely and murmured: "Miss Qiqi looks great."

There were only two people at the table, so of course Ji Xun knew that these words were meant to make fun of him.

Catalina said, looked at Ji Xun again, and asked, "Really?"

Ji Xun didn't know why, but he heard a hint of provocation. He pondered for a moment and said, "Yeah. Everything is fine."

It seems that she wants to ask this?

"Hmph~"

Catalina heard a haughty snort.

Obviously I am not disappointed with this answer, nor do I feel good about it.

Without Dong Qi present, Catalina was like a queen on the sofa, her eyes unabashedly charming as delicate and thorny as roses.

After all, she drank a lot of dragon root wine, and the young lady from the Lionheart family also had a flirtatious look in her eyes, "Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Ji Xun smiled as he listened.

I said this several times throughout the night, each time with a different meaning.

This time, he heard the direct teasing.

Catalina really found it interesting. She had never seen Ji Xun in such embarrassment again.

You clearly want to do something, but you have worries.

This is not visible at any time.

The charming smile on Catalina's face became more and more unabated.

However, before the two could chat more, suddenly in the bathroom, Dong Qi looked over and greeted warmly: "Miss Carter, you are not leaving tonight anyway, how about we take a bath together?"

As soon as these extremely bold words came out, Catalina's expression suddenly froze: "Huh???"

In all her life, she has never encountered such a situation.

She had been trained in aristocratic etiquette and had never said what she should do in such a situation.

The young lady from the Lionheart family, who remained calm in the face of thousands of troops, was really confused at this moment.

Take a bath together?

Although she is a girl, there are others here.

Ji Xun on the side looked at her sudden change of expression and found it interesting: Have you ever had this time too?

Catalina caught a glimpse of that look of gloating, which seemed to arouse the competitive spirit in her heart. The entanglement in her heart was drowned in a moment. She stood up, raised her chest proudly, glanced at Ji Xun, and then said towards the bathroom: "Okay."

Ji Xun: "???"

At this response, it was Ji's turn to be stunned.

She actually agreed?

Ji Xun really didn't expect that a noble lady like Catalina, who was engraved with pride in her bones, would agree to such an outrageous proposal.

However, Katarina was more generous than he expected.

When I heard Dong Qi's call, I happened to feel hot flashes on my body, so I might as well take a shower.

She stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

There was no cover in the room and no dressing room.

What's more, it's not like Ji Xun has never seen his naked body.

There was no need to avoid it at all. Catalina followed Dong Qi's example and unbuttoned her shirt along the way.

Then he took off his shirt and put it in the basket.

He reached back and unhooked his underwear, and in a blink of an eye his upper body was naked.

While Ji Xun was looking at it for a moment, he saw Catalina standing naked at the door of the bathroom.

She didn't forget to glance back provocatively: How about it, does it look good?

The bathroom only had two pieces of transparent glass. Ji Xun stared at the two beautiful naked bodies in the bathroom, his eyes dazed.

Ji Xun really had no such experience except in dreams.

For a moment, the beautiful spring scenery was so beautiful that it was hard to take your eyes away.

At this time, an unexpected scene happened again.

Dong Qi in the bathroom said hello again: "Ji Xun, do you want to take a bath together?"

Very casual greeting.

Because the two of them are like this on weekdays.

But now, the situation is different.

Because they weren't the only ones in the room.

But there was Catalina who had already taken off her clothes.
