I'm really a serious wizard.

Chapter 165 The Conditions for Becoming a Demigod

"Ron, stop joking with me. Even if you don't believe in a true god, you still need to show me the necessary respect, you bastard!"

Olivia curled her lips and punched Ron's blond head.

Ron covered his head, tears almost spilling from the president's eyes.

"President, I'm telling the truth."

He quickly emphasized this, but the dark-haired woman still didn't believe him. Instead, she thought her subordinate was joking with her and punched Ron on the head again.

"Don't worry, how could the rightful god die?"

"If they die, won't the world be destroyed?"

Suddenly, the confident Olivia froze, her face filled with disbelief.

After a long while, she grabbed the boy's shoulders and shook him violently, saying:
"Ron, lying will get you a spanking!"

This time it's not about whether people die, but rather, it's about...
Olivia's amber eyes were fixed on the boy's eyes, trying to find panic and guilt in them.

But the result left her extremely disappointed.

"President, I don't know if this is true or not, but you can ask her."

As he spoke, the blond boy pointed to the god of wisdom.

Seeing Olivia turn her gaze towards him, Ron quickly recounted the details of the mission.

Then, he successfully saw the president put away all his smiles.

"Are you the god of wisdom?"

"To parasitize a Stardust Society investigator, that's quite audacious."

The dark-haired woman, looking rather sleazy, stepped forward, grabbed Adele by the collar, and lifted her up with a slight effort.

Sensing that Olivia's attitude was off, the "Goddess of Wisdom" quickly explained:

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm here to seek cooperation. I've met many monks, and they all failed on the path of pursuing wisdom."

Before He could finish speaking, he heard Ron whispering sweet nothings in his ear:
"President, He's saying you're stupid~"

You people from the capital are so rude!
The "God of Wisdom" stared wide-eyed, sensing the wickedness of society and the despicable nature of mortals.

Upon hearing this, the black-haired woman's expression turned extremely hostile, as if she wanted to take action directly and teach this "divine creation" that had appeared out of nowhere a lesson.

Having divinity does not mean being a god. Without the corresponding authority, one can only be imprisoned underground by the Stardust Society.

For example, there's "Squint," who always likes to sneak peeks at people, and those two idiots, Hat and Wand, who are always arguing.

Olivia didn't know whether to think Ron was lucky or unlucky.

Fortunately, such "divine creations" are extremely rare, occurring only once every few millennia.
Unfortunately, such "divine creations" are extremely dangerous, as can be seen from the fate of their owner, Adele.

However, after thinking about the "skills" of her trusted subordinates, Olivia suddenly felt that the "Goddess of Wisdom" in her hands was probably the most unfortunate one.

Sigh, I wanted to beat this guy up, but I just can't bring myself to do it.
Olivia's gaze was filled with pity, which made the "Goddess of Wisdom" feel uneasy.

However, in order to achieve her goal of finding wise people, Ms. Chestnut Hair still displayed a mature and intellectual demeanor, saying:

“Olivia, the divinity of wisdom is something that many mages pursue. Even the ‘Crown of Stardust’ seeks wisdom from the gods in the consciousness of the enlightened god.”

"If you want, we can do it anytime."

"I do not need."

The black-haired woman narrowed her amber eyes and abruptly interrupted the "God of Wisdom's" rambling.

After saying that, she added a sentence to herself, trying to sound very strong.

I don't think you're as smart as me.

Hearing such confident words, Ron, who was standing to the side, looked strange and began to think to himself that he was being sarcastic.

You two are clearly evenly matched!
"You actually rejected wisdom!"

The chestnut-haired woman was clearly taken aback.

He simply could not imagine that he, the symbol of wisdom, would be rejected by a great mage.

“No, this shouldn’t be the case, Olivia, listen to me, you are the fastest mage to reach the legendary level in nearly a thousand years.”

"With me, you will attain divinity. The essence of everything will be revealed to you. No problem in the world can hold you back. There is no need to be stuck at your current level."

"And the continuation of the symbolism of wisdom allows more beings to escape ignorance; it's a win-win situation for us."

“I told you, I’m not interested in you, and I don’t need you,” Olivia said, frowning with a disdainful look.

At that moment, Ron seemed to faintly hear the sound of a heart breaking.

Then he saw the "God of Wisdom" looking at him expectantly.

The blond boy's face turned pale, and he shook his head frantically.

First, he didn't want such foolish wisdom.

Secondly, he learned magic and made great progress in it entirely through his own efforts, never relying on external aids.

"You guys, you guys"

Faced with the repeated rejections from the two monks, the "God of Wisdom" felt an unprecedented sense of defeat.

"In that case, I will not disturb you any longer."

After saying this, the chestnut-haired woman bowed politely and then turned to leave.

"and many more."

At that moment, Olivia suddenly called out to Him.

The president frowned, his mind racing as if deep in thought. After a long while, he finally met the gaze of the "god of wisdom" and said:

"There are a few people like you in the Stardust Guild, and they have signed contracts with the guild leaders at different times."

"If you're willing to sign a contract and break away from the investigator, we can prepare a room for you, uh."

"You can talk to your colleagues."

"."

Silence fell on the third floor of the library. Just as Ron was wondering if such a clumsy lie could fool a "god of wisdom," He suddenly exclaimed with delight:

"real!?"

Upon seeing this, Ron and the guild master exchanged a glance, both seeing the relief in each other's eyes.

-

On the carriage back to the Stardust Society, Ron, as a trusted confidant, had the privilege of riding in the same carriage as Olivia.

His gaze first fell on the president's boots, then moved upwards until he suddenly saw Olivia's fox-like eyes, which seemed to be smiling but weren't.

The blond boy immediately looked away and asked honestly:

"President, is this how the matter is resolved?"

As an investigator who had been working for less than three months, Ron's work experience was clearly somewhat limited.

"Of course! Do you expect me to fight that so-called 'God of Wisdom'?"

"No, President, what I mean is..."

Ron wanted to say, "Isn't that the god of wisdom? Why would he believe such a crude lie?"

But he was afraid of being beaten, so he had to change his story:

"He doesn't look very wise at all."

Upon hearing this, Olivia gave Ron a strange look and said:

"What do you think wisdom looks like? Is it omniscience, cunning and shrewdness, or the ability to see through all the patterns in the world?"

"IQ is IQ, and wisdom is wisdom. The former is the summary of experience and attitude towards things, while the latter is the efficiency of learning and the mastery of knowledge."

"For example, a high-level spell that an ordinary person could not learn in their entire life, after gaining 'wisdom', might be understood by just a glance."

"President, isn't this a good thing? Why don't you agree to it?"

Ron was even more confused.

Although I don't know how difficult it is to become a demigod, if it's really as Olivia said, it should be a good thing.

As the "god of wisdom" said, no mage can refuse to pursue wisdom.

"Hmph, I told you, I don't need it at all."

Olivia slightly swayed her raised toes, glanced at her confused subordinate, and continued:

"After legend comes demigod. To become a demigod, you need to have something of your own, and I already have some clues. I don't need any external help."
