In a messy maple forest, the elf wizard's invitation stopped Wang Zhifan from leaving. He felt that this was an opportunity to obtain more information about this world.
So while waiting for the other party to use magic to clean up the corpses and traces left after the battle, they returned to the city of Doria together.
During the conversation, Wang Zhifan knew that the legendary elf wizard had a long name, but she usually asked others to simply call her Margaret.
As an elf, Margaret was not born locally. She came to live in Doria City in recent years and studied advanced magic with several like-minded wizards.
As for her age, she didn't mention it at all, and Wang Zhifan didn't ask, knowing that this was probably a taboo topic, because although she didn't look old, she wasn't too young either.
"Sir, this is where I live. It looks pretty good, doesn't it? It cost me several thousand gold coins to buy this place, so I had to put aside many important experiments..."
At this moment, Wang Zhifan and Margaret got off the carriage and came to a large villa with a classical and beautiful design. As soon as Margaret appeared, a young maid quickly came out and carved many beautiful patterns for her. big iron gate.
"It is indeed beautiful. The aesthetics of your elves are truly well-deserved."
Wang Zhifan nodded and praised, then entered the large iron gate under the guidance of Margaret, passed through a stone corridor with small flower beds on both sides, and stepped into the first-floor living room with very exquisite and elegant decoration.
To his surprise, he found that there were more than a dozen servants preparing a sumptuous banquet in the living room. The rectangular dining table was covered with a clean white cloth, and each dish was served on an impeccably shaped silver plate. There are meat and vegetable dishes such as pan-fried steak, gratin lobster, corn cabbage soup and more.
It can be seen that Margaret notified her servants in some way on the way here, so that they could prepare in advance to receive guests.
"Thank you for your hospitality, madam. I happen to be a little hungry, so let's chat while we eat."
Since he accepted the elf wizard's invitation, Wang Zhifan would naturally not be polite.
He and Margaret sat at each end of the rectangular dining table, chatting while eating.
The maid waiting next to him would considerately replace his finished meals from time to time, and then move the silver plate farther away from him to him.
As an elf, Margaret eats very politely. Not only does she eat very little, but she also eats almost exclusively vegetarian food. The extremely rich meat on the table is all prepared for Wang Zhifan, which shows that she attaches great importance to this savior.
The two of them chatted about some daily topics while eating like this, such as the recent interesting stories in Dorea City. Seeing that the meal was almost done, Margaret asked all the servants to leave and began to discuss the most important matter.
"King, I have seen your strength. No legendary warrior I have ever seen can compare with you. I hope that we will continue to cooperate in the future and look for opportunities to hunt saints.
The road to becoming a god was far out of reach in the past, but God turned many gods into saints and fell into the main plane. It is really a good opportunity that cannot be missed. I think you have the same idea..."
< br>
Margaret invited Wang Zhifan to her home not only to express her gratitude for the life-saving kindness, but what she cared more about was Wang Zhifan's crushing strength in facing the legendary thief before. This strength allowed her to see the solution The possibility of some saints seizing power.
"Margaret, I really want to hunt the saint and embark on the road to becoming a god...but I very lack information about the saint and can't find a suitable target at all, otherwise I wouldn't have stepped into the thief's trap. …”
Wang Zhifan nodded and answered, hoping that Margaret could help solve intelligence problems.
This idea may sound a bit ridiculous, after all, both of them were people who fell into the trap of thieves.
But Margaret was a native after all, and a legendary wizard native. It was infinitely easier to obtain information than an outsider like Wang Zhifan, so Wang Zhifan was willing to cooperate with her.
Regarding the legendary rank, Wang Zhifan also discussed it with Margaret on the way here and confirmed that this is a term used to classify the strength of extraordinary professionals in the current world.
All extraordinary professions that have reached an advanced stage and have a certain standard of extraordinary power are called legends. However, the strength gap within legends is very large. It is very likely that a parallel legend will only be killed instantly when facing an elite legend.
Above the legend, there is also a demigod level, but demigods are very rare, not only because it is very difficult for professionals to develop, but also because breaking through from legend to demigod often requires special blessings from gods. Almost only Only those who become the chosen ones or elects of gods can enjoy this kind of treatment.
Therefore, after the previous battle in Maple Grove, Margaret believed that Wang Zhifan was one of those rare elite legendary warriors whose combat power was much stronger than that of ordinary legends. Even when facing some saints and demigod-level elects, she had It can be used in cooperation or in direct confrontation. It is a very important helper in hunting planning.
"Wang, please rest assured that there is no problem in leaving the intelligence to me! When I joined the thief's plan on the street, I just wanted to see what conspiracy he had.
Regarding hunting the Saint, I have my own plan, and this plan not only includes you and me, but also several other trustworthy legends will join in..."
Margaret tried her best to convince Wang Zhifan to believe her, and listed some organizations that Wang Zhifan had heard of for the first time, such as the White Robe Wizards Association and the Circle of Truth. These were all large forces in this world that she had joined.
After hearing this, Wang Zhifan immediately expressed that he trusted her and would maintain a cooperative relationship with her, but he needed her to obtain key information as soon as possible to carry out hunting operations.
After that, the two of them talked about other related things, such as which saints transformed by gods must be extremely powerful and should not be provoked, and which gods should not be let go if they meet them.
This topic was actually intentionally guided by Wang Zhifan. He needed to narrow down the scope of his search targets so as to achieve the first goal as soon as possible.
In the end, Wang Zhifan politely rejected Margaret's suggestion to stay overnight, left his contact information with her, said goodbye, and returned to Doria City.
At this time, the whole city was already bathed in the glory of the setting sun. Most people might need to find a hotel to rest, but Wang Zhifan had no such plan. He decided to play the strategy dungeon continuously.
"Margaret can't count too much on this. The interests involved in the saint are too many and too complex. With her energy, she may not be able to obtain any useful information, so I must not relax."
Wang Zhifan has never been the type who likes to rely on others. If someone can help, he will make appropriate use of it, but the most critical part will still be in the palm of his hand.
But I have to say that after talking with the legendary elf wizard Margaret, he obtained a lot of useful information. At least he knew where the largest library in Doria city was.
At this time, he was heading to this place, determined to spend one night learning about all the gods in this world, so as to speculate on where they might be hiding.
After a while, a building with an ordinary area but a very simple shape appeared in front of Wang Zhifan. This was the Doria Grand Library. It was incomparable in style to the great libraries he had seen on Earth, but its temperament No loss at all.
After stepping into the door of the library, what caught his eye was an old man with white hair and a black wizard robe. There were many guests around the old man who came to consult about books. Wang Zhifan waited for a while before it was his turn.
"Excuse me, what books should I read if I want to learn more about the gods?"
Wang Zhifan then asked the old man. The old man looked unsurprised when he heard this, and replied calmly:
"Go to the second bookshelf over there. It has everything on it. If you are still not satisfied, you can pay more money to enter the innermost portal, which is connected to a larger library..."
After hearing this, Wang Zhifan decisively handed over additional local currency and did not miss the opportunity to obtain all the information.
His currency was exchanged for some rare-level equipment in a store on the way. The store owner undoubtedly felt that he had taken a big advantage, but Wang Zhifan didn't care. His personal space was almost full of such unused things. .
When he walked towards the second bookshelf, he heard the white-haired old man muttering:
"People nowadays have lost their respect for gods, and they will regret it..."
A few hours later, Wang Zhifan flipped through most of the books on the bookshelf. Thanks to the text translation ability of this copy, he could read fairly smoothly. However, the number of gods in this world gave him an impression that cannot be ignored. It even made him feel a little speechless.
"Not to mention the God of Time, the God of Light, the God of Destruction and other powerful gods. Why are there so many weak gods? The God of Wild Boar, the God of Setaria, the God of Jokes...these gods... Each name makes people feel more ridiculous..."
Speaking of which, the more weak gods there are, the better it is for Wang Zhifan to clear the dungeon. However, after learning about the strange names of these gods, he still felt a headache. Subjectively, he could not remember those miscellaneous names that looked very casual at a glance.
However, the information must be collected anyway. After Wang Zhifan patiently flipped through the books on the bookshelf at a speed that ordinary people could not understand, he stepped into the innermost portal of the library and came to a larger library.
This library is built in a mysterious enclosed space. In addition to more bookshelves holding thousands of books, there is also an old man with gray hair and white robes as a caretaker.
Because he had to pay extra, there were very few guests reading here at this time, so the gray-haired and white-robed old man looked at him as soon as he came over.
"Please recommend me books about the gods."
Wang Zhifan made a brief request, intending to save time and complete the information collection work as soon as possible.
But beyond his expectation, he found that the gray-haired old man in white robes in front of him did not answer his question directly. Instead, he gave him a mysterious smile and said in an unusual tone:
"Young man, if you want to get the knowledge you need most, please exchange the unique knowledge you know. This is the fairest transaction in the world."
"Huh?"
Wang Zhifan was immediately confused by the other party's unusual words and deeds.
He immediately focused his attention on the gray-haired and white-robed old man in front of him, and once again confirmed that this was an existence whose strength was far less than legendary, but his eyes were shining with a strange and mysterious light, like stars in the distant sky.
"Who are you?"
Realizing that he had encountered a special situation, Wang Zhifan immediately asked the person in front of him calmly and calmly.
"Haha, guest from a distant world, you can call me the God of Knowledge. I am talking to you through my believers now. I hope you can accept my transaction request."
The gray-haired old man said to Wang Zhifan with a faint light in his eyes.
"The God of Knowledge...the god who is said to be of medium power in the book...can actually meet Him here."
Wang Zhifan immediately recalled what he had just read, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited when he learned who the self-proclaimed God of Knowledge was.
"Great God of Knowledge, I am willing to accept your deal, but I can give you more. As long as you agree to make me your chosen one, I will help you return to the Kingdom of God."
With this rare opportunity, Wang Zhifan quickly put forward his core requirements. If he could become a candidate for a medium-level divine saint, he would undoubtedly be able to clear the dungeon much faster.
However, the so-called God of Knowledge was slightly silent after hearing his words, and then spoke through the gray-haired old man:
"I'm sorry that my guests from a distant world, my constituents and I have been working together for many years, cannot agree to this deal of yours...
But if the knowledge you provide is attractive enough, I will consider letting you fill the seat as soon as possible after the electorate becomes vacant...
According to my inference, the probability of this happening is not small, and battles between saints will become more and more frequent and intense in the future..."
This being rejected Wang Zhifan and gave the same reason as when Wang Zhifan met the God of War earlier: there was no vacancy for His chosen ones.
This made Wang Zhifan understand the fact that the positions of the slightly famous gods were all occupied by others. It was impossible for him to intervene under normal circumstances. Only by paying more attention to those weaker gods could there be hope.
"Well, I hope one day... Great God of Knowledge, what do you want to know? I will tell you in as much detail as possible."
When the desired deal couldn't be reached, Wang Zhifan decided to settle for the next best thing and at least become familiar with the other party.
The God of Knowledge seemed a little happy after hearing this, and immediately responded:
"Everything I want to know about the world you came to is all I want to know. You can tell me slowly and I will help slow down the passage of time on you."
As soon as the other party finished speaking, Wang Zhifan smiled and said:
"That's not necessary. The world I come from is not complicated. I can finish it quickly.
Like this place, it is also composed of multiple planes.
Among them, the plane I live in is called the Disaster Realm. It is an extremely vast world. Not far from the Disaster Realm, there is also a plane called the Demon Realm..."
What Wang Zhifan was talking about was the situation in an advanced dungeon world he had lived in, not the planet where he was.
This arrangement is to prevent potential problems. If this god of knowledge has evil intentions and comes all the way, he will definitely be severely beaten by the four saints and six demon kings. (End of chapter)
