The level of technology on this planet is hundreds of years ahead of the technology on Earth where Rhine lived in his previous life, so it is normal for them to have computers and the Internet. Moreover, the book also describes that the Mathematical Olympiad Network they created allows people to live in another virtual world in the form of thoughts. Isn't this the so-called metaverse? Rhine estimated that if this world did not have the same "air wall" as the MC, the people of the High Elves Era would have flown out of this planet long ago.

"When I was still a great witch, I explored a secret realm of the high elves with a few companions. However, because the secret realm's self-defense system was still running, we only explored the outermost part of the secret realm. These books were found in one of the rooms." My aunt answered after recalling for a moment.

“No way, even my aunt can only explore the outermost area?” Although my aunt was only a great witch at that time, how weak could the people who could team up with the great witch be? At least they were all at the level of Mahayana saints. How could such an elite adventure team only be able to explore the outermost area of ​​the secret realm?

Victoria just smiled helplessly and said, "It's not that we are too weak, but the high elves are too strong. Even after becoming a legendary witch and making appointments with a few more legends, we are still helpless against their defense system."

"Even though the era of the high elves has become history, the secret realms and ruins they left behind are still beyond our reach."

"That's true. The Age of High Elves was the second era in history to unify the world after the Age of Gods. At that time, all creatures in the five oceans and eight continents submitted to the arcane throne of the High Elves. The High Elves Dynasty in its heyday was a madman who dared to challenge the gods, although they never found the gods in the end."

"But despite this, they have never questioned the authenticity of the existence of the gods, but are curious about where they have gone." Rhine has his own guess about this.

The so-called Age of the Gods is most likely the initial development stage of the game world, and the gods are naturally the game developers. The reason why the high elves can't find the gods no matter how hard they look is probably that the gods left after creating this world. This is not a random guess, after all, there have been similar precedents, such as a certain virtual reality game. (Sword X Domain: Why don't you just report my ID number?)

So how did such a brilliant and glorious High Elf civilization fall from the altar and eventually disappear in the long river of history? You should know that in its heyday, the High Elf Dynasty had 38 powerful gods who dominated the world, and tens of thousands of legendary armies under its command. In the face of absolute strength, no one or any race could shake their rule in the slightest, but from the results, such a powerful dynasty suddenly disappeared, and hundreds of gods in the world disappeared with it.

Rhine once suspected whether it was the gods, oh no, the bastard planners' doing, the so-called plot killing, who forced the high elves to withdraw from the stage of history. Otherwise, if they continued to dominate the position of rulers, no one would be able to shake them.

The closest guess to the truth is a record in an archaeological journal that seems to be from the end of the Dark Age: "After countless archaeologists have studied it like moths to a flame, almost all clues point to one direction - the Dark Continent. In the distant past, the high elves and the residents of the Dark Continent had an unprecedented super war. The cruelty of this war was beyond anyone's imagination. Countless races perished in this war, countless civilizations disappeared in this war, and countless inheritances were broken in this war. The final result was that the gods were defeated, the legendary masters were exhausted, and even the continent was shattered, and even the long river of history was interrupted."

"We have no idea what caused the war, but we can be sure that the demons are the descendants of the inhabitants of the Dark Continent in that war. Although they only live in the southernmost part of the continent, we know from the course of history that they are a very dangerous race. In order to ensure the safety of the inhabitants of the native world and prevent the tragedy of the Elf Age from happening again, the demons should not appear in this world. We must unite and drive them all out without leaving a single one behind!"

Although this world is a zongman world, Rhine is sure that the dark continent in this world is not the same as the dark continent in a certain work he has seen, probably. Because the dark continent in this world is a supercontinent located in the Antarctic Ocean of the world, with an unknown area. It is named the dark continent because the land color of the continent is gray-black and the sea area at the edge of the continent is shrouded in black fog all year round.

Back to the topic, although my aunt is a legendary witch, the Age of High Elves was an era where gods were everywhere and legends were as numerous as dogs. It is easy to imagine how difficult it was to conquer the secret realms left over from that period.

"How is it? Do you understand it?" Victoria asked anxiously.

"Uh... I don't understand. These books record things that don't exist in our time. They should be textbooks about the Arcane World Wide Web during the era of the High Elves." In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Rhine planned to pretend to be confused this time. Otherwise, if his aunt asked him why he knew it, he would really have no way to defend himself.

"Is that so..." Victoria was a little disappointed after hearing Rhine's answer. She originally wanted to see if she could find clues on how to break through the legendary witch from the books of the High Elves era. After all, they were both mages, but the arcane magic of the High Elves was a magic system that could allow people to cultivate to the divine realm. Back then, thirty-eight powerful gods dominated the world, and the High Elves' tens of thousands of years of rule was built on this foundation.

As if seeing through his aunt's intention, Rhine comforted her, "It's okay, aunt. Anyway, the current era doesn't need powerful gods. The last god appeared more than a thousand years ago. What's more, I heard that once you become a god, something ominous will happen."

"What do you mean by unknown? I've never heard of this. After all, I retired shortly after becoming a legend." The lost aunt became interested again.

"It's ominous. It means that in old age, your body will be covered with red hair, your consciousness will fall into confusion, and finally you will turn into something indescribable."

"So scary? Why have I never heard of it?" Victoria was frightened by the ominous words that Rhine said.

"Because I made this up. It would be weird if you heard it."

"I'll beat you up!" Victoria waved her fist angrily and amusedly.

"No, no, no, I just saw that my aunt was in a bad mood, so I just wanted to tease you."

"In fact, it's not that there haven't been new God-level masters born after the High Elves Era. In tens of thousands of years, there should be dozens of them. But the weird thing is that these God-level masters all disappeared mysteriously shortly after their breakthroughs. Even the Demon King who created the Dark Era was no exception. No one knows where they went, and no one knows whether they are dead or alive now."

"You should know that although the strong men in the God Realm are not real gods, they are also people who have entered the realm of gods. Living for tens of thousands of years is definitely not a problem. But the reality is that those strong men in the God Realm have disappeared without exception, and they did not leave any clues. Otherwise, the world would have completed the third great unification long ago. Because in this world without the God Realm, the strong men in the God Realm are gods."

"So becoming a god is not a good thing. I think even if there is a chance for aunt to become a god, she will not choose to leave uncle and Irena, right?"

Based on Rhine's years of experience reading novels, he guessed that all the disappeared God Realm masters had gone to the Dark Continent. Either they had built a defense line there to resist the invasion of the Dark Continent residents, just like the original imperial city that Emperor Huang Tian used to resist the invasion of foreign races. Or there was something in the Dark Continent that attracted them to rush there, such as a way to break through the God Realm.

Well, it was the old RPG routine, one map for each stage, first the empire, then the entire continent, then the entire world, and finally the Dark Continent. It couldn't be that there would be nothing to do after he reached the God Realm, right? He even suspected that there might be new maps hidden behind the Dark Continent, after all, there were gods above the God Realm. It stood to reason that with the strength of his world, there couldn't be no gods.

"You're right. If it was before I met your uncle, I might have thought that I would rather die than hear the truth. But now... I am very happy and satisfied. It's time to let go of my previous dreams and obsessions." After Rhine's persuasion, Victoria let go of the last bit of obsession in her heart.

"It's okay, aunt. Now all you have to do is find a straw hat and put it on my head. Then I will help you realize your dream."

Chapter 38 Irena Wants to Become a Big Sister

"Okay, then I'll entrust your dream to you." Victoria smiled and patted Rhine's head. "If you have any questions, you can always ask me. Although I don't know what path you want to take, as a representative of the top of the contemporary magic system, I can more or less provide you with some reference in terms of experience and experience."

"Really? Then I won't be polite. I have a favor to ask of you, aunt." Although he felt a little embarrassed, Rhine still spoke.

"What's the matter? Do you want your aunt to accept you as her disciple?" Victoria became excited when talking about this.

"No, I was wondering if you could lend me these books. I'm quite interested in the information from the High Elves era."

"So this is it... You can take it. I don't have any use for it anyway." After hearing that it was not a discipleship, Victoria instantly lost interest. If it weren't for Rhine, these books would still be gathering dust in the utility room.

"Great! Thank you, aunt!" Rhine said excitedly. He wanted to see how the programming of this world was different from the programming of the previous Earth, and what could be learned and improved. Moreover, as long as he mastered the programming of the High Elves, it would only be beneficial and not harmful to exploring the ruins and secrets of the High Elves in the future. After all, no one stipulated that the only way to conquer a maze or secret realm was to use force. Can't I just hack the defense system? Not to mention the treasures inside, the entire maze or secret realm would be mine by then.

My goodness, others only pay attention to the treasures in the maze or secret realm, but Rhine wants to take the whole blame.

"Then I'll tidy up the utility room tomorrow and give you the other books as well."

"There are other books?" Rhine was very surprised. It took his family many years to collect so many books from the Elf Era.

"Yes, although we only searched the outermost part, it is still a secret place after all. How could we only find a few books? That would be a huge loss. It's just that no one in the team can understand the words on these books, and they have no interest in treasures like books. I am the only mage in the team, and they think I have the highest IQ, so they gave me all of them."

"How many books are there in total? I want them all!" Rhine waved his hand. No one would complain about having too much knowledge. Although he traveled through time before graduation, a large part of the reason why he was able to pass the doctoral exam was related to his habit of reading.

"I can't remember exactly how many books there were, maybe 40 or 50. I just remember that I took away the entire bookshelf in the room. There were also glowing glass balls and mirrors that could display images, etc. Anyway, I packed up everything that could be taken away."

"………" This is a tough move. It seems that my aunt was not a quiet person when she was young. I wonder if Irena will be like this in the future. (How dare you say that to others? You are the one who wants to take the entire secret realm away.)

"By the way, if Little Rhine is so interested, you can come and help me clean up the utility room in a few days. I left all the weird things I found during my previous adventures there. If you like any of them, just take them yourself, but be sure to pay attention to safety. Although I have thrown all the dangerous things away, and most of the items left behind have been sealed by me, it is inevitable that some of the seals will loosen after so many years, so don't go to the utility room alone without me."

"Come on, just because of what you said, something bad will happen even if nothing happens." Rhine complained in his heart. After all, his halo as a time traveler is not just for show.

"Okay." Rhine nodded like a chick pecking at rice. He didn't care about the legendary witch's collection or anything like that. He just wanted to help with the housework.

After chatting with his aunt about the secret realm, Rhine was about to leave. Things like "archaeology" can't be rushed. "Aunt, is there anything else? If not, I'll go up first. Irena is still waiting for me."

"Oh, take these with you." Victoria brought a tray out from the kitchen. On the tray were the strawberry cake that Irena had ordered and two cups of warm milk. "Be careful not to spill it. Remember to rinse your mouth after eating the cake before going to bed."

"Well, thank you, aunt."

Watching Rhine carrying the plate upstairs carefully step by step, afraid of spilling the milk, Victoria smiled and shook her head, then put the inconspicuous wooden stick in her hand back into the box and put it away.

"How could I doubt that Little Rhine's body was occupied by something evil? After all, the legendary witch's holy baptism can severely damage even the soul of the devil, and the fact that Little Rhine's soul is intact is enough to show that his soul is very pure. Judging from the age of his soul, it is indeed a new soul, and has nothing to do with decay and old age. The most important thing is that the degree of fit between the soul and the body has reached 100%, which means it is original. There is no trace of any magic on his body..."

Victoria was worried that Rhine was being controlled by someone using secret methods, or that his soul had been replaced without her noticing. After all, he was the first in line to the throne of the empire, so it was possible that someone was secretly replacing him with someone else. In addition, Rhine's performance really surprised her.

In this case, either Rhine is a reincarnated person with past life memories, or someone is guiding him. After all, this situation is not without precedent. Many geniuses in history who were originally mediocre in talent but suddenly rose to prominence were because the souls of old monsters parasitized them. She didn't know what Rhine's situation was, but in order to ensure the safety of her family, Victoria decided to test it tonight. If Rhine really had a problem, then even if her identity would be exposed and even if her husband would misunderstand her, she would act mercilessly and kill the danger of Rhine in the cradle.

But obviously, she didn't find any problems. Rhine was neither a reincarnation nor a parasite. If Rhine could really deceive her perception, then she would accept it. Because it means that Rhine has a strength that is absolutely superior to hers. If he really intends to do something, she can't stop him. After eliminating all the impossibilities, the remaining one becomes possible. Rhine is a genius, a truly peerless genius, a demon who is destined to stir up the world in the future. This made Victoria's long-dormant adventurous heart throb again, but she suppressed it after thinking of her husband and daughter. Her era has passed, and the next is the era of young people.

"A new realm different from the Arcane Throne... the Sorcerer King? Perhaps, he can really take that step." Victoria was shocked by her own thoughts, then shook her head helplessly and laughed: "How is it possible? That is the realm of the gods. If a male wizard can become a miraculous wizard, it is enough to be recorded in history and passed down for generations." (The Throne: the title of the magician in the realm of the gods during the era of the high elves.)

“Ahahahaha…the cake is here.”

"You're so slow. Why do you take so long?" As soon as Rhine opened the door, he saw Irena expressing her dissatisfaction.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I'll get you what you want to eat after you take a shower. It takes no time to prepare these foods." Rhine put down the tray and picked up the glass of milk that belonged to him and drank it. "It's a wonderful thing to drink more milk. It's not too cold or too hot, and it tastes great."

"Ah, it's strawberry cake! I thought you were just saying it casually, but I didn't expect you to actually go get it. Thank you, little brother Rhine."

"Poof..." Rhine, who was drinking milk, suddenly spat out a mouthful of milk.

"I solemnly declare that you can call me by my first name, or by my last name, Wiseman, or even by Hey, but you cannot call me little brother, or I will not teach you magic anymore."

"What? You are younger than me. And didn't you say that we should go our separate ways? You call me sister and I call you teacher. We agreed on this during dinner." Irena pouted softly, feeling very aggrieved.

"What did you say?"

"If you don't want to shout, then don't shout. You're so stingy."

Seeing that Irena was really angry, Rhine sighed and said, "You can call me little brother, but you can add a little character. Because you are only a few months older than me, and the little brother can only be called by the big sister, but you can't."

"So how can I become a big sister?"

"From an age perspective, it should be impossible. After all, we are the same age. But you can eat more vegetables, fruits and drink more milk. If you develop the habit from a young age, you will most likely become a big sister in the future. Believe me, you will definitely thank me when the time comes."

"Then can we not eat mushrooms?" Although she didn't know what it meant, the naive Irena still chose to believe Rhine's words.

"Mushrooms are rich in essential amino acids, minerals, vitamins, polysaccharides and other nutrients. Mushrooms are rich in 18 kinds of amino acids, and the amino acid composition ratio of the protein in some mushrooms is better than that of beef. The nutrients in mushrooms are also good for heart health and improve the body's immunity. Other fresh vegetables and fruits do not contain vitamin D, but mushrooms are an exception. Not only does it contain vitamin D, but it is also very rich, which is good for bone health and promotes body growth. Especially for growing children, mushrooms are a very suitable food."

"Even though I don't understand it and it seems so powerful, I still don't want to eat mushrooms." Irena shook her head.

"Why don't you want to eat?"

"I feel like there's a smell of earth or wood, and some mushrooms are slippery and slimy, which I don't like."

"Humph, that's because they don't know how to cook it. They didn't remove the earthy smell, so the mushrooms taste bad. I'll show you my skills some other day."

"Oh! I'm going to tell mom that you said she can't cook! And you said her cooking is awful."

"Fuck, how can you be like this? You have such poor character!"

"Just kidding, why are you so nervous?" Looking at the panicked Rhine, Irena smiled unkindly.

Chapter 39: Rhine pays a large sum for paper

"By the way, why can't the water balls I condensed form a circle?" Irena stopped arguing with Rhine and started talking about serious matters.

"What do you mean? Show me."

"Look." Irena skillfully condensed a ball of water from the air. It seemed that she had not been lazy during the time when Rhine was away. However, the ball of water she condensed was not a sphere as she said, but an irregular sphere. The surface of the water ball seemed to be boiling like boiling water, constantly changing into various shapes.

"This is simple. The irregular shape of the sphere is because you don't have enough experience and your magic control is not precise enough. Just like making meatballs, it is difficult for a novice to make a beautiful and neat round meatball. This can be done with more practice."

"As for the reason why the water on the surface is boiling, it should be caused by the different rates at which you inject magic power into the wand. To put it simply, sometimes the magic power is output quickly, and sometimes it is output slowly, causing the slow-flowing magic power to block the fast-flowing magic power, and the fast-flowing magic power impacts the slow-flowing magic power. It is this contradiction that causes the magic power to get out of control. The solution is also very simple. Next time when delivering magic power, just maintain a stable output speed and this situation will not happen again." Rhine answered incisively.

"But I clearly injected magic power at the same speed." After hearing what Rhine said, Irena tried several times and failed. The surface of the condensed water mass was still boiling.

"That's strange, it's impossible. Try it again this time." Rhine pressed close to Irena's back and held her hand from behind, carefully sensing the flow of magic power in Irena's body.

"Stupid... Stupid! Don't stick so close to me." Feeling her back pressed tightly against Rhine, Irena blushed. Although she didn't know why she blushed because of her age, she just felt that this was not good.

"Tsk, why are you so nosy? How can I sense the flow of magic power in your body if I don't get closer? Besides, who would be interested in a little brat like you? My type is a big sister with a giant O!" Rhine said disdainfully.

"What! You actually called me a little brat, when I'm obviously older than you!" Irena said unconvinced.

"Hey! So this is the place you're concerned about!!!"

"What? Then what should I care about?" Irena asked with a confused look on her face.

"Okay, it's my fault. What on earth did I say to a four-year-old kid?" Rhine said speechlessly, holding his forehead.

"I told you I'm not a brat!!!"

"Little brat! Little brat! Little brat!"

"Irena, Rhine! You two should be quiet, it's getting late." Victoria's voice suddenly sounded downstairs, and the two of them quickly quieted down.

"It's all your fault. Mom told you that."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and finish it. I'm going to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow." Rhine urged.

"Huh? What are you going to do so early in the morning?" Irena asked curiously.

"Go to work."

"What work?"

"Helping your mom clean up the backyard utility room, how about you come too?"

"Forget it, I still have to learn magic." Irene lost interest when she heard that she was going to tidy up the utility room. If she knew that the things piled up in the utility room were actually the things of her idol, the witch Nicole, wouldn't she regret it to death?

"Hurry up and activate your magic circuit. It's getting late." Rhine urged.

"Oh." Irena obediently began to transfer magic power into the wand.

As the two of them were now pressed tightly together with their chests pressed against their backs, Rhine could clearly sense the magic circuits in Irena's body.

"Um...your breath makes my ears itchy." Irena muttered softly.

"Be quiet and focus."

"Yes!"

After carefully sensing it, Rhine finally found out where the problem was. "There is no problem with your magic power transfer speed. The problem lies in your breathing rhythm."

"Breathing?" Irena asked in confusion.

"Well, every time you transfer magic power, you subconsciously hold your breath, and beginners often need to take deep breaths to sense the magic power in their bodies. Although holding your breath helps to concentrate, it also weakens your sense of the magic power in your body, making it impossible to accurately control the flow of each stream of magic power."

"How to solve it?"

"It's not a big problem. Many people will subconsciously hold their breath when they are nervous or highly focused. Starting tomorrow, do two hours of deep breathing every day until you can sense the magic power in your body without the help of deep breathing."

"Ah? How long will it take?"

"That depends on your own understanding. It took me about two hours to naturally sense the magic power in my body. Didn't you say you are a genius and beautiful girl? Then you should be able to master it quickly." Rhine used provocation on Irena. He found that this trick was particularly effective against little brats.
