Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

But he no longer felt fear and disgust towards Ms. Misfortune.

This is probably a bad thing, at least for him.

If you continue to hate and fear someone, he will eventually realize it - Charles is not a person who holds grudges.

What Ms. Misfortune did to him was not enough to haunt him forever. Sooner or later, he would realize that something was wrong with him and slowly find out the truth.

But now, under Pandora's misleading and some truths revealed, Charles' obsession with Lady Doom began to wane.

If nothing unexpected happened, perhaps he would completely forget what happened between them, just as she expected.

Because he knew too much, Charles felt a little confused.

Later, under Pandora's arrangement, Charles rode on Pegasus.

The Pegasus he rode was between Teresa and Peroz. Together they crossed mountains and rivers, and looked out at the sea of ​​flowers in the endless grassland from the sky.

Finally, Peroz and Teresa arrived at the House of Literature and Art with reluctance.

Later, Theresa might need to go through some other things to brew her own luck, but Charles had no intention of paying attention.

He always felt that he seemed to have overlooked something, so he wanted to calm down and think carefully about the hidden message in his conversation with Pandora today.

But no matter how he recalled or thought about it, everything seemed normal...

On the other side, Morin was bewildered as he watched the three people disappear before his eyes.

"Sir...please take me with you!"

To be honest, Morin really felt speechless.

Although staying in this place would bring him many things that would make him happy, but...this time his goal was to know more secrets about Charles.

I finally had the opportunity to travel with him and have close contact with him, but before he could even be happy, how did things develop to this point?

Fortunately, at least he knew their next destination.

Then he set his sights on the street lamp beside him.

After Charles and the others left, everything returned to normal, and everything that had disappeared reappeared in front of him.

"Luden?" He walked to the street lamp nearby and called out to him softly.

Luden opened his eyes and glanced at him without wanting to speak.

"Can you tell me the location of the House of Literature and Art?" he asked cautiously.

Luden didn't want to pay attention to Morin and threw him a scale of knowledge.

Maureen was speechless.

Why is he so knowledgeable when it comes to Theresa, but so strict with me?

He was somewhat helpless, but he could only follow the rules and put some knowledge he thought was valuable on one side of the scale.

But the balance has always remained tilted and has not shown any sign of stability.

"No way... I'm just asking for directions, but you need so much knowledge to get it?" Morin felt it was a bit too bizarre.

You have to know that the knowledge he just put into the scale will be fought over by countless people in the main world, and it will start at tens of thousands of gold pounds if sold.

"I already know all the knowledge you put in. This knowledge is of no value to me."

"Can't you figure out such a simple thing?" Luden was speechless.

Look what Maureen put in there.

The thief's sequence of potions is equipped, and he knows some information about other potions through various means.

This is a priceless treasure as all knowledge in the main world is blocked.

But here...unknown knowledge is full of value, but some ancient knowledge is worthless.

Things like potion configuration were not a big secret during the Five Gods Era. What was important was always the extraordinary properties.

Maureen blinked. "Then may I ask if there is any knowledge you particularly desire?"

"What knowledge do I particularly crave?" asked the streetlight above Luden himself. "I crave any knowledge I haven't mastered yet."

"Anything is fine?" Morin asked again.

The other party nodded.

Morin began to stuff the messy knowledge in his mind into the scales.

Then the scales quickly became balanced, and then the scale on the other side tilted up.

Looking at the knowledge he had stuffed into his own scale, Morin fell into deep thought.

'Postpartum care for sows', 'How to raise chickens scientifically and rationally', 'How to treat insomnia', 'Advanced home cooking'...

The value of this knowledge that he learned out of boredom is actually higher than the potion formula?

This world is so fucking crazy.

But if you think about it, it's just asking for directions.

He comforted himself in this way.

On the other side, seeing that Morin could come up with such knowledge, Luden's attitude towards him changed instantly.

"Don't rush to get this knowledge out. We might be able to do a deeper deal."

Maureen looked at the other person strangely.

"You previously attached great importance to the potion of the Thief Sequence. So are you interested in the potion formula of Shadow Dancer, Shadow Mage, and Shadow?"

Morin slowly hit out one?

He was naturally interested in this kind of thing. After all, if he became stronger, he would be able to better explore the interesting things hidden in the world. But... did he really possess knowledge that could be exchanged?

Seeing Morin's expression, Luden naturally knew his choice, so he put the formulas of the three potion sequences in.

However, the three recipes were still a little inferior to the messy knowledge that Morin threw in.

Then he became a little embarrassed, "Is there anything more you want to know?"

Morin looked at the other person and felt that his experience was somewhat magical. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Do you have the recipe for the Silver Knight's potion?"

The Silver Knight was Sequence 3 of the Militia Sequence. His friend Arthur was in the Hodgepodge Sequence, but Sequence 4 was the Grey Knight. If possible... he still wanted to follow the steps to become a Silver Knight.

"Of course!" A potion recipe was added.

But the balance is still unbalanced.

Maureen began to rack his brains thinking about Floris and Antilia.

But the extraordinary sequence of the two of them was almost incoherent, and he didn't even know whether the potion formula existed or not.

So he tried to tell them about their situation, and then looked at Luden with anticipation.

"Well... I do have a solution, or rather, a promotion path suitable for them."

"But...if you put it in, your knowledge here might not be enough."

Morin once again took a look at the knowledge he had thrown into the scale. He said arrogantly, "I have a lot of this kind of knowledge!"

As a person who is interested in everything, Maureen knows a lot of things.

He has been an acrobat, a veterinarian, a pig farmer, a chicken farmer, a businessman, a librarian, a steam train driver, an airship driver, and recently learned to drive a car.

If this kind of knowledge alone could fill the balance, he felt that he could acquire a lot of knowledge here that he couldn't access outside.

"You're truly a wealthy man." The two quickly completed the transaction. Luden, happily absorbing the new knowledge in his mind, said to Morin with emotion.

Morin, who had been prepared to be beaten, looked at the happy Luden with a confused look on his face, and his expression became more and more subtle.

Then he walked towards the House of Arts according to the map Luden gave him.

He likes this place.

If possible, he felt that he should stay here for a few more days - at least to replace all his previous interests with useful knowledge.

"What a shame! I thought my knowledge of pig slaughtering would be of some value, considering I practiced it for a long time."

"I didn't expect that Luden is even more proficient in related techniques than I am."

While exploring the new knowledge about pig slaughtering in his mind, Morin felt that he had gained a lot.

At the same time, I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after exchanging knowledge with Luden, Morin felt that his connection with this city became closer.

Or perhaps he could vaguely feel the city's kindness towards him.

He had a feeling that if he continued to exchange his knowledge with others, perhaps one day in the future he would be able to gain the qualifications to enter and exit here at any time, or even to settle down here.

Chapter 285: The Temptation from the City of Knowledge

Home of literature and art.

The name is very ordinary, but the scene just now made most people think that this would be a magnificent palace.

In reality, it's strangely ordinary.

The windmill outside the gate sways so fast that it seems like it will collapse at any time. Inside the gate is an ordinary three-story stone house.

There were no servants, only a boss who sat listlessly at the front of the counter, glancing at Charles and the other two with a dull gaze.

"How is this place connected to literature and art?" Peroz asked what Charles and Theresa wanted to ask.

"This is one of the most important places in Visdel. It has witnessed almost everything about Visdel and contains all the knowledge that exists in Visdel."

"Every guest here can gain some useful knowledge." Pandora said proudly.

“That should be called the House of Knowledge,” Teresa complained.

"Originally, this place was probably named that, but a respected lord thought the House of Knowledge was too cliché, so he changed it to the House of Literature and Art."

She is noble, has a lot of free time, and cares about such inexplicable things. She must be the goddess of the night.

"I've heard some legends about this place, about Wesdel. According to the legend, this is not a good place." Looking at Pandora who opened a room for him, Charles said while stroking the stone walls around the hotel that were full of historical vicissitudes.

The history of Wesdel is very long.

Ever since the emergence of the Astral Plane, the legend of Visdel has been circulating in the Main World.

Countless people have accidentally entered here and acquired secret knowledge and eventually achieved success in their careers.

Charles had stolen knowledge from many demigods and even several subordinate gods, so he had a faint impression of this place.

In his understanding, this place is full of knowledge, but also full of danger.

"This is a paradise for those who seek knowledge, but it is also a destination for the greedy." Pandora looked at Charles with a smile.

“Knowledge is never wrong, but the human heart is unpredictable.”

Ciel reached out and took the room key from Pandora, then nodded. "Everyone who comes here for the first time has achieved achievements and wealth that they would not have been able to achieve otherwise."

“The reputation of those who entered here the second time began to spread throughout their town and even the country.”

"Those who enter here for the third time can even become wise men renowned throughout the continent."

"But those who come here for the fifth, sixth, or even seventh or eighth time will be swallowed up by this city."

Charles' words were a reminder to Peroz and Theresa, especially Peroz.

As a city full of knowledge, almost any knowledge in the world exists here, and everyone in this city can be used as an object of knowledge trading.

Some "people" possess knowledge related to the extraordinary, some "people" possess knowledge that can obtain endless wealth, and some "people" possess the truth that others desire...

The knowledge they possess is not shared, and they do not trade with each other, but only with outsiders.

So, it's just like what Morin did just now.

In the exchange with Luden, he seemed to have gotten the best deal, exchanging some knowledge of almost no value for many priceless treasures.

When he has tasted the sweetness, when he has felt the "friendliness" of this city, what will happen when he obtains the key to enter this city at any time?

Most people were unable to control their desires. They began to collect all kinds of knowledge and returned to the city to exchange them. Eventually, they became a wise man famous throughout the continent, possessing endless wealth and powerful power.

But having really reached this point, he was not far from becoming a resident of Visdel, the city of knowledge.

Unlike other cities in the astral plane, the residents of the City of Knowledge cannot leave the city.

But if it really comes to that, probably no one will want to leave here.
