The Dean Has Arrived

There is a legend among the merchants of the Eastern Plains.

It is said that there is an ultra-ancient creature that has lived from the age of mythology to the present, quietly dormant at people's feet.

It knows all the mysteries of the world from the age of myth to the present.

But every time it asks a question, it has to pay a huge price. If you can't pay, you will be turned into stone, hovering between life and death, suffering forever...

This legendary creature is actually an ancient worm living in Ankidu.

If it is said that this guy has lived from the age of mythology to the present, Xi Wei must be the first to not believe it; and the so-called insight into all the mysteries of the world is even more nonsense-any knowledgeable magician knows that when a creature touches When he reaches the truth, he will be sublimated into a higher-dimensional existence, and it is impossible for him to continue lying pitifully in Anqidu, waiting for guests to come to his door.

Of course, Xi Wei still believed that the other party had mastered a lot of lost knowledge.

Leaving aside other things, the mere fact that it can cast spells on its own existence is enough to show how terrifying the knowledge it possesses—in the entire Eastern Plains, the number of people who know the name 'Ancient Worm' is fixed .

For example, if a person learns about this and then tells others about it, he will forget it himself.

This was indeed the case. After the head of the caravan under Xi Wei told Xi Wei the information he had found out from nowhere, he had already forgotten all about it.

Whether it is written with a pen. Indirect transmission with magic like a tape recorder, or other methods, can't prevent this situation.

Because of the academy system, Xi Wei possessed far more knowledge than other magicians. Looking at the entire Eastern Plains, people with more knowledge than him can be counted with one hand, and the ancient worm must be ranked first.

It was precisely because of this that Xi Wei planned to ask it about the monster in the huge amber underground (although only one head was exposed so far).

Of course, before coming here, Xi Wei also considered the copy of the candy house. The old lady in the copy once told him to go there again in half a year.

It's just that there is still some time before the half-year agreement. And in case it doesn't matter what the other party wants to tell him. It's really troublesome - not only can't get any information, but also waste the key that can enter the copy.

It was based on this consideration that Xi Wei chose to meet this legendary ultra-ancient creature, the ancient worm.

There are two types of fees charged by the ancient worm after answering questions: one is things it has not seen or knowledge it does not know; the other is the "time" of the questioner.

The pile of stone men at the entrance is after all the time has been absorbed. It became like that.

It is different from petrification magic such as petrification aura and Hydera's gaze. The ancient worm's power is a contract-like ability. Protected by the laws of the world, if there is no miracle that can deal with or counteract, even the legendary archmage cannot be exempted.

But Xi Wei didn't have to worry about this. As he said, the system produced a lot of messy things.

Unless something like an ancient worm can know the starting point ○ Wenwang, Xi Wei is sure that he has enough knowledge and unfamiliar things to pay for the problem.

After Xi Wei briefly described what he saw, the ancient worm was silent for a long time.

Finally shook his head.

"I know what that is, but unfortunately I can't answer you, young man."

The sound of the ancient worm echoed in the not-so-empty room, giving Xi Wei the illusion that he was sitting in a big bell.

Xi Wei's frowning face was reflected in the other's two pairs of blue eyes.

"Why can't you answer?"

Xi Wei asked strangely.

"That's also a problem."

The ancient worm replied slowly.

Fuck, what a profiteer!

Xi Wei casually threw out a blank piece of paper, which recorded some physical knowledge of the earth.

The fat belly of the ancient worm suddenly opened a fleshy slit, and a bony hand that was covered in sticky white liquid stretched out from inside, grabbed the piece of paper, retracted into the crack.

"Well, the reward is satisfied..."

I don't know if it's because he's lived too long, but this guy always speaks slowly, which makes Xi Wei slightly annoyed.

"The reason why I can't say it is very simple, because that guy's name itself is a kind of special magic. No matter who it is, no matter where it is, as long as it says its name, it can feel it immediately. It's not good news for a guy of this level to be eyeing."

"The name itself has a magical meaning?!"

Xi Wei opened his mouth slightly in surprise.

It's not uncommon for the name itself to be derived from a rune. Xi Wei's predecessor met a magician whose full name was a secondary fireball spell when he was traveling in the mainland.

But casting magic and saying a person's name are two completely different things. Under normal circumstances, even if Xi Wei calls the guy whose full name is a fireball spell, he will not suddenly fly out a fireball and burn him half to death.

Before Xi Wei encountered this kind of thing today, the names he knew had magical meanings, and the 'names' that could cause magical effects just by saying them were actually all gods enshrined by various churches!

"Then, is there no way to tell me indirectly?" Xi Wei was still not reconciled.

The ancient worm did not speak, but stared at Xi Wei with a smile on his face.

This made Xi Wei reluctantly drop a football - this is some by-product of the academy's recent production.

After still swallowing the football into its belly with its weird arms, the ancient worm continued with satisfaction: "Generally, even if you write, you can't avoid the possibility of being noticed by the other party. The only way is to find out the name of that monster." Ancient documents that recorded it before it became taboo."

"But there are no documents with such a long history in the eastern plain, right?" Xi Wei frowned again.

The library of the Huo Lian National Academy of Magic, the library of the Huo Lian royal family, the library prepared by Edric (and is slowly increasing the collection), the library of the sanctuary... There are no places where Xi Wei wanders. It is almost impossible to find ancient documents that are more than five hundred years old in the true sense.

"It is naturally impossible to find this level of existence in paper documents." The ancient worm squirmed its fat body, and seemed to want to change its position, but unfortunately failed: "What you are looking for is the legendary world. 's first epic. 'The Astronomy of Truth' engraved on rocks and bronze!" (To be continued..)
