Chapter 343: The Lizard Controller
Another day passed quickly.
For Wang Zhifan, this day was dull but fulfilling, very comfortable.
He sells some unnecessary equipment in exchange for gold coins, so he has no shortage of money and can live a prosperous life in this medieval magical city.
As for the matter of probing the Demon King’s intelligence, he felt that it was almost completed, or that he was too lazy to carefully investigate an enemy that might not be very strong. He just planned to wait for the Demon King to come out like other players in the dungeon. Then there was a big battle.
At this time, Wang Zhifan appeared in a lively area in the outer city. There was a wide stone square. In the center of the square, there was a beautiful magic fountain blooming with water. Around the fountain, different shows belonging to the same circus were performed in sections, attracting A large number of locals, young and old, watched.
"Dear audience! Next is the most classic clown magic in our circus! Please watch carefully! Don't blink!"
"The lion jumps through the fire ring! Just one copper coin. You can let this majestic lion perform for you Once!"
"Come and play the roulette game! The luckiest audience can draw a latest luxury carriage!"
"You can know your destiny with just one silver coin! Where are the opportunities! ”
...
The square was crowded and lively. Being in it, Wang Zhifan felt a strong sense of otherworldliness. When he was aroused, he would invest a small amount of money to join the circus show from time to time, and play something that was very interesting to him. It's just a play-acting entertainment program, but the happiness gained is real.
“This city feels peaceful and beautiful, but it’s a pity that a guy called the Demon King will come to cause trouble soon... If only it could come out earlier, I will solve it as soon as possible...”
After having fun, it was already afternoon. Wang Zhifan thought so and prepared to leave here and return to the high-end hotel where he stayed. He planned to concentrate on practicing in the next time and wait for the devil to come out before leaving the mountain.
But when he just reached the edge of the square, a young man who looked like a messenger carrying a leather satchel suddenly stopped him, stretched out his hand and handed him a letter with a red seal.
"Sir, you have a letter. Your friend Jack dragged us to deliver it."
The messenger turned around and left in a hurry after delivering the letter and leaving in a hurry.
"Jack wrote me a letter? How did he know I was here?"
For a moment, Wang Zhifan, holding the letter in his hand, was a little confused. He did not expect his own It seemed a little unnatural that a cheap buddy could reach him.
Using his powerful perception to penetrate the envelope and judging that there was no danger hidden inside, Wang Zhifan then opened the seal, took out the letter paper, and began to read.
Because the copy was equipped with basic language accessibility, he was able to read the letter signed Jack.
Soon, he learned from the letter that Jack claimed to know his whereabouts through some mercenary friends who worked for the royal family, saying that someone had seen him in the core city.
And he wrote because he had made an important breakthrough in intelligence recently. Specifically, he learned through others that there was precious information about the Demon King in a mysterious bookstore, and this bookstore happened to be located in Wang Zhifan Jack strongly recommended that he take the time to take a look at the royal capital where he was currently located, and gave the detailed address he had found.
“He knew about my traces from others...could it be from the expedition fortress? But that doesn’t make sense...I had a little chat with a gunner player there. There are not many others, and there is not much contact with others at all..."
Although he finished reading the letter, Wang Zhifan was even more confused. His intuition told him that Jack writing him a letter was a bit unusual and full of... A deliberate taste.
"It's a bit strange... but this bookstore still successfully attracted my attention... I just have time now, so I can go and take a look."
Having noticed something was wrong, Wang Zhifan didn't pay too much attention to it. Confident in being able to deal with various emergencies, especially when he is already more alert.
The next time, he followed the address given by Jack in the letter, left the square where the circus performance was being held, and arrived there all the way.
It was located in a secluded corner of the outer city, not far from the square in the outer city. Wang Zhifan asked someone for directions and it didn't take long to find the target location.
More than a hundred meters away, he saw an ordinary-looking bookstore on the side of a street with few pedestrians. The single-story wooden and stone structure house was decorated with an exotic style, the kind that tended to be dark. Hell style, no wonder Jack heard someone say there might be information about the Demon King here.
"Everything is arranged in a decent way, but sometimes it's too normal to be the most abnormal."
There is still a short distance away from the mysterious bookstore, and there are no signs of abnormality around, but Wang Zhifan is super strong However, his perception allowed him to capture some unknown energy tracks.
This kind of energy trace is actually not a big deal in this world. After all, it is a world with extraordinary existence, but his intuition told him that things are not that simple.
"Is it possible that the mage I saw on the carriage yesterday is plotting against me? But why is he doing this?"
After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan listed a suspect, At the same time, his figure fled into the distance in an instant, leaving only a clone in place for subsequent exploration. This was necessary to act with caution.
From the perspective of the few pedestrians on this street, the tall young man who appeared in their field of vision walked into the bookstore without hesitation. No one could tell that the real person had turned into an illusory existence.
More than ten seconds later, Wang Zhifan's true self was hidden far away, and he controlled this clone to step into the strange bookstore with its door open but empty.
Through the vision of the clone, he saw that there were no customers in the bookstore, only an old man who should be the shopkeeper, and coincidentally, he keenly sensed that this seemingly ordinary old man, the shopkeeper, was not flesh and blood. The body, like the clone he sent here, is an illusory creation.
"There is indeed a problem, but fortunately I kept an eye out."
Wang Zhifan realized that the situation was developing as he expected. This so-called bookstore must be someone specializing in it. It was a trap set for him, but as he had the clone, he didn't have to worry too much. He directly controlled the clone and walked towards the old man who was sleeping on the chair next to the bookcase.
"Distinguished guest, what book are you looking for?"
The old man with an illusory body quickly raised his head to look at Wang Zhifan after he entered the store, showing a friendly smile. His weathered eyes were particularly bright. It's as if another will is watching the visitor through them. "I need some books about the Demon King."
Wang Zhifan pretended not to notice anything unusual about this person, controlled the clone to respond, and at the same time paid attention to any changes around him, including his current location The movement around.
“Oh, the news that the devil is about to be born has spread throughout the city recently. Many young people are borrowing such books. I will give you their favorite one.”
The disembodied old man who owned the store stood up from his seat as he spoke, walked to the bookcase on the side and took out a hard-cover book with a hellish style for Wang Zhifan.
This guy did not show any difference from normal people throughout the whole process. If Wang Zhifan's perception was not so strong, he would definitely think that he was a living person of flesh and blood.
"This book "The End of the Demon King" records the war two thousand years ago. The strong men of mankind worked together to defeat the terrifying Demon King. In it, you can find the glorious deeds of the brave men, and also Learn about the powerful equipment they used. It is said that these treasures are now stored in the dark tower..."
The old man reached out and handed the hard-cover book to Wang Zhifan, and also introduced the main contents inside content.
“Thanks, it sounds like just what I need.”
Upon seeing this, Wang Zhifan immediately controlled the clone to take over the book. After practicing the Dream Sword Sutra for so long, he had already mastered the clone's ability to materialize, and he had no problem maintaining the time to read a book quickly.
The next time was for quick reading. Wang Zhifan controlled his clone to browse through the book, and as expected, he learned some information about the Demon King.
For example, the Demon King is very powerful and can destroy a town with a single blow. The Hell Demon Army under his command is even more terrifying and almost wiped out mankind.
For example, a weapon once used by the Demon King was called the Great Sword of Sin. It was stained with the blood of strong human beings and was later purified by the spell of the great sage Agulathrod.
For example, the great sage Agulathrod created a dark cloak in order to fight against the Demon King. With the special effects of this equipment, he bravely broke into the Demon King's lair in hell and destroyed the door to the plane so that the Demon King could no longer possess it. An endless supply of hell's minions.
Wang Zhifan finished reading the last page of the book and returned it to the old man resting on the chair.
The old man opened his eyes and the first thing he said was not to ask for money, but to ask with a smile if he had finished reading the book.
"Young man, have you finished reading?"
"You have finished reading."
"Then I think you should understand your mission. Remember, you must not Let the great sword of sin fall into the hands of the devil, and the dark cloak must be put to good use.”
"Huh? How do you know this!"
"Haha... Don't worry, young man, I have no ill intentions towards you... I am a direct descendant of the great sage Agulathrod and inherited his greatness. Brilliant name, I hope you can assist me in the battlefield ahead. Fight the devil and win a brighter future for us humans..."
After saying these words to Wang Zhifan, the illusory bookstore old man disappeared and left, and there was no other movement, such as a sudden appearance of something around him. People gathered to besiege Wang Zhifan's clone.
This let Wang Zhifan know that what happened today was that someone was indeed targeting him, but the person targeting him was very measured, or in other words, the investigation was very clear, and they did not intend to engage in any internal fighting before the devil was born. Drama.
“This old man claims to be Agulathrod, he can’t be the Grand Duke mentioned by the gunner players...”
At this moment, Wang Zhifan, who was hiding on the other side of the city and withdrew his avatar, was muttering in his heart. He had been wandering around the city for the past two days and learned a lot. He was no longer in a unclear state at the beginning. From the contact From what he said, he knew that the other party was the top human being in this city and even this world, but he was polite to him and did not take any drastic action.
“I don’t understand how I was exposed... Could it be that Jack betrayed me? But shouldn’t he remain loyal to me? I paid enough wages... or the appraiser of the Craftsmen’s Guild Betrayed me? But I clearly used the tree mask to change my image..."
After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan found out that he was being targeted and that he was known to have a sinful sword and a dark cloak. It was very strange. With the information he knew, it was not easy to figure out the context, but things It was already like this, and he didn't bother to think about it. It was just a copy anyway.
He even didn't bother to contact the Grand Duke anymore, and planned to find a place to practice in peace and wait to fight the BOSS.
Because his intuition told him that the time for the Demon King to break the seal was coming soon, and this dungeon would soon face its final battle. It was wiser to maintain the best combat power than to mess around.
At the same time, in the capitals of the major kingdoms in this world, human masters gathered together either actively or passively, gearing up to prepare for the coming catastrophe.
The player group can only be regarded as an embellishment in general. Like most human professionals, their real opponents are the demon king's followers, not the demon king himself.
Only a very small number of players can join the high-level professional team, and only these people have the qualifications to fight the devil head-on.
One of them lives in the same city as Wang Zhifan and has joined the Duke's fighting force.
This person is not a player from the Xia Kingdom. He comes from the neighboring Indian Kingdom in the real world. He has a very famous name among the players in the Indian Kingdom: Lizard Controller. This person is from the Xia Kingdom player forum. Names that have appeared in the official news section.
The emergence of such high-level players shows that the difficulty of this dungeon is extraordinary and is by no means what it seems at this stage.
At this moment, in a luxurious manor in the royal capital, the lizard controller is communicating eagerly with other human NPCs to prepare for the subsequent battle.
He is a thin black white man with a sparse beard. This distinctive Indian appearance shows that he is not from the upper class of the country, which may be related to his great influence in India. Fame is somewhat relevant.
There are currently over ten people in this manor, and every one of them has a good aura.
Among them, the one standing high-profile next to a large black lizard more than ten meters long, and constantly stroking the lizard's head with his hand, was the lizard driver. Although he looked a little apologetic, not tall enough or handsome enough, but The strong confidence on his face was enough to overwhelm anyone present.
Just listen to him stroking the big lizard beside him and saying loudly:
"Gentlemen and ladies! Don't worry! As long as I, Raj, take a little action, I can easily block the devil for you! If you Give me more support! I will make the devil disappear from this world!"
