I'm also trying to survive today [Western Fantasy]

Chapter 280 Contradictions

This time, Julian did not continue to observe the depressions, but followed the streamer, circling the black stone.

In order to fully observe Liu Guang's route, he also blocked the sight of Catherine's sister, causing two angry eyes.

Julian said: As a man with a family, I have nothing to fear!

After turning a full circle, he stood in place, closed his eyes and recalled the route that Liu Guang had just traveled.

I don't know if it's the benefits of time travel, or the characteristics that come naturally after becoming a magician. Julian has lit up the skill of photographic memory early on.

He outlined the outline of the black stone in his mind, followed the trajectory of the streamer, and continued to draw lines on the black stone. As each rune became complete, what finally appeared in front of him was a huge 'hub' rune .

Julian opened his eyes suddenly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. This black stone turned out to be the hub here. To put it bluntly, it was a bit like a central control system.

If he guessed correctly, there are likely to be some artificial buildings hidden in this cave, and this hub black stone is the key to unlock it.

Julian didn't take any action, Catherine was still studying the black stone fascinatedly, but he turned to other black stones to observe the streamer on them.

Except for the ordinary members of the Gale Wolf who were in charge of guarding the perimeter, Tom Woody and the others were also observing the black stones, but except for Catherine who seemed to have some insight, the others couldn't understand what was going on with the streamer above them at all.

The red-robed old man is strong and proficient in pharmacy, but he knows nothing about runes. Those relatively basic things are fine. If it is like now, it is really powerful to find a complete rune in the chaotic lines Not caught.

However, he has been paying attention to Julian's actions, and he finds that he can't see through this young man, a young sixth-level mage. This kind of strength is definitely a first-class genius in the land abandoned by the gods, but he has never heard of Jia. There is such a young mage in Laigang.

What's more... the red-robed old man squinted his eyes. In the battle just now, Julian's performance was quite satisfactory, but it was precisely because he was so "moderate" that almost every time he released a spell, the power reached six. The highest value a super magician can achieve, this is not normal at all.

You must know that people are not machines, and they cannot do this kind of precise operation. For example, let a five-year-old child do arithmetic problems within [-], and it must be fast and good. It is almost impossible to strive for [-]%. But if it is a middle school student, it is basically no problem.

Therefore, the red-robed old man doubted Julian's true strength.

Once people become suspicious, they often have other associations. The red-robed old man also knows that Julian has just joined the Twilight Squad, which makes him wonder if the other party is targeting them.

Julian didn't know that the red-robed old man had become suspicious of him, and he was obsessed with analyzing those black stones.

There are several black stones here, and there are streamers flashing on each black stone. Apart from the one that Catherine is staring at, there are people watching around the other black stones, but they can't see anything, Julian repeated. The operation on the first black stone quickly analyzed the functions of all the black stones.

These black stones happened to form a natural magic circle, and the function of the magic circle was to cultivate and hide.

Julian has observed that some of the lines on the black stones are naturally formed, and some have obvious artificial traces. Coupled with the signs of excavation seen near the entrance of the cave, it can be basically concluded that this is a half A natural, semi-artificial 'treasure'.

The other party seems to be hiding something with the help of the natural magic circle here. In addition to hiding, it also needs to cultivate the hidden things in the magic circle, so artificial excavation was carried out.

Julian must admit that the person who made this magic circle is quite a genius. The composition of the magic circle is very simple. It may be such a perfect combination of natural and artificial. The other party's attainments in the magic circle are definitely not simple.

Julian's act of analyzing the Black Stone was not obvious, because almost everyone was observing the Black Stone in circles, trying to find out if there were any secrets hidden in it. He was a little hesitant now, not knowing whether to tell the results of his observations Before he could think clearly, he heard Catherine shout:

"I understand! So it is like this!" Catherine blushed excitedly, jumping for joy.

"Have you found the place?" The red-robed old man asked with a smile.

"Yes, Grandpa Tia, I found it, everyone come here quickly!" Catherine waved repeatedly, motioning for others to come over.

Woody asked vigilantly, "What did you do in the past?"

"Of course it was teleported to another place. You don't think there will be any treasures in this empty cave!" Catherine asked as a matter of course.

The corners of the red-robed old man's mouth twitched, he was a little speechless at Catherine's outspokenness.

The black-armored girl seemed to be used to it, but stood behind Catherine expressionlessly, guarding the others vigilantly.

Woody froze for a moment, and repeated unconsciously: "Treasure?"

Tom and the others even twitched the corners of their mouths, treasures and the like...it just sounds very unreliable, okay?

"That's right, we're here to find treasure." Catherine's eyes widened: "Didn't I tell you?"

"No!" Woody's face darkened, "That's not what you said when we accepted the mission. You said you were looking for the companion plant of the ghost fruit tree."

"That's right, the treasure is the companion plant of the ghost fruit, I'm not lying." Catherine seemed puzzled why Woody was angry.

In fact, Woody was really angry. What do mercenaries hate the most?The most annoying thing is that the employer does not honestly explain the difficulty of the task!

There are many companion plants of the ghost fruit tree, but there are only a few of them that can be called treasures, and those kinds can only be born under extreme conditions, but each of them is a precious treasure that countless people can compete for. !

If Catherine had stated from the beginning that what she was looking for were those rare companion plants, he would never have accepted such a task!

It is true that their Gale Wolf mercenary group has certain influence in Canai Port, but those few companion plants are good things that can make the top forces fight.

Is Huai Bi's crime unmovable?

Woody wasn't that greedy, of course he didn't want to take risks for such a small commission.

Woody's face turned cold: "Miss Catherine, may I think that you are maliciously concealing important information about the mission?"

"Huh?" Catherine was stunned for a moment, looking at the greedy, fearful, or blank eyes of the people around her, and she seemed a little at a loss.

"I...I... didn't hide..." Catherine said more and more quietly, facing Tom who was also downcast, she felt that she might, seemed, probably... did something wrong.

Tom rubbed his forehead with a headache: "Miss Catherine, you should explain... Forget it, it's useless to talk about it at this time." He and Woody looked at each other, exchanged opinions secretly, and then turned to look at Catherine : "We want to quit this mission."

"Why... why..." Catherine was stunned, and then quickly said, "I can increase the commission!"

Tom frowned: "It's not about the commission, but..." Looking at Catherine's bewildered face, he suddenly couldn't continue, feeling that this is a child who doesn't understand anything, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, I wish I had known not to accept this task.

In any case, the danger of this task is too great, and Tom's character is more cautious, and he doesn't want to continue to participate.Some people might be greedy for those precious companion plants, but Tom didn't want to get involved at all: "Miss Catherine, I officially announce my withdrawal..."

"No, you can't quit."

Before Tom finished speaking, he was interrupted by the red-robed old man Tia.

Tom looked at him vigilantly, and the anxiety in his heart reached its peak: "What do you mean?"

Tia smiled kindly, but her words were ruthless: "I said, none of you can quit."

The ordinary members of the Gale Wolf all retreated slowly behind Woody's gestures, and Martin even hid his figure immediately, but after he sneaked, he felt that Tia glanced at him, just a glance It made him feel that he had nothing to hide in front of the old man, as long as the other party wanted to, he could beat himself out of the stealth state at any time.

"Is this going to kill people?" Julian tilted his head and looked at both sides with a smile.

"Julian, come quickly." Kevin was already holding a long sword and guarding Tom's side. Seeing that Julian was still standing by the black stone, he shouted nervously.

"Heh, don't talk about killing people and silence them, it's so ugly." Tia suddenly smiled, and the smile was very gentle.

However, no one dared to underestimate this seemingly gentle old man. The strength he erupted in the battle just now was enough to crush them all.

Even Hu Di learned the true strength of the old man from the members he left behind, and he didn't dare to ignore him at all, and stared at him vigilantly.

"Isn't it murder and silence?" Julian pointed to the two groups of people who were at war, feeling that sparks were about to emerge between them, and they might fight at any time.

"You don't seem to be afraid at all?" Tia suddenly turned her head and looked at Julian with a smile.

"Why should I be afraid?" Julian smiled too, more gentle and prettier than Tia.

After all, one is a handsome and handsome man, and the other...um...the comparison is a bit tragic.

There was a dark light in Tia's eyes, and she was more sure about Julian's strength.He could feel that the other party was really not afraid of him, and obviously had his own trump card.

Probably shocked by Julian's performance, none of Tom and the others spoke, and the confrontation scene between the two sides fell into an eerie silence.

Catherine didn't understand how things suddenly became like this, she looked at the girl in black armor, and the girl in black armor looked back expressionlessly, Catherine weakly raised her hand: "That... we don't need to be like this... So..." She struggled to find a suitable adjective.

"Excited?" Julian kindly gave her a hint.

"Yes, yes, excited, we don't need to be so excited." Just after Catherine finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that it was the man who blocked his view just now, and couldn't help but give her another roll of the eyes.

Julian secretly laughed, feeling that this girl is really a bit rough.

"Everyone calm down." Catherine said weakly: "Well... Grandpa Tia is very good, can't we complete the task well? It's also my fault that I didn't make it clear at the beginning. I can increase your commission, everything is easy to discuss Ah...don't fight..."

Tia felt helpless for Catherine's almost incoherent explanation. It's true that her young lady is very innocent and kind, but I really don't know who inherited this rough nerve...

Neither Woody nor Tom expected that Catherine would say such a thing, but at least the atmosphere between the two parties was much more relaxed than before.

Owen Diary:

Are you awake today?

No……

Not only no, Julian didn't even think about me!

I don't want to live anymore!
