Chapter 343: Sense of Proportion Lizard Tamer

Another day passed quickly.

For Wang Zhifan, this day was plain, fulfilling and very comfortable.

He sold some of his unnecessary equipment in exchange for gold coins, so he had no shortage of money and could live a comfortable life in this medieval fantasy city.

As for the matter of exploring the intelligence of the demon king, he felt that he had almost completed it, or he was too lazy to carefully investigate an enemy who might not be very strong. He just planned to wait for the demon king to come out and fight like other players in the dungeon.

At this time, Wang Zhifan appeared in a busy area in the outer city. There was a wide stone square with a beautiful magic fountain in the center of the square. Around the fountain, different programs belonging to the same circus were performed in different blocks, attracting a large number of locals of all ages to watch.

"Dear audience! Next is the most classic clown magic of our circus! Please watch carefully! Don't blink!"

"Lion jumping through a ring of fire! Just one copper coin can let this majestic lion perform for you once!"

"Everyone, come and play the roulette game! The luckiest audience can draw a new luxury carriage!"

"Fortune divination! Just one silver coin can tell you where your opportunity is!"

...

The square was crowded and lively. Being in it, Wang Zhifan felt the strong otherworldly atmosphere. He was so interested that he would invest a little money from time to time to join the circus program and play some entertainment programs that were completely just playing house for him, but the happiness he gained was real.

"This city feels peaceful and beautiful, but unfortunately a guy called the Demon King will come to mess with it soon... If only he could come out earlier, I would deal with him as soon as possible..."

After having fun, it was already afternoon. Wang Zhifan thought so and prepared to leave here and return to the high-end hotel where he stayed. He planned to concentrate on practicing in the future and wait for the Demon King to come out before going out.

But when he just walked to the edge of the square, a young man who looked like a messenger with a leather bag on his back suddenly stopped him and handed him a letter with a red seal.

"Sir, you have a letter. Your friend Jack asked us to deliver it."

After handing over the letter, the messenger turned around and left in a hurry, looking very busy.

"Jack wrote me a letter? How did he know I was here?"

For a moment, Wang Zhifan, who was holding the letter in his hand, was a little confused. He didn't expect that his cheap partner could contact him at all. This seemed a bit unreasonable.

Using his powerful perception to penetrate the envelope and judge that there was no hidden danger inside, Wang Zhifan then opened the seal, took out the letter, and began to read.

Since this copy is equipped with basic language proficiency assistance, he was able to read the letter signed by Jack.

Soon, he learned from the letter that Jack claimed to have known his whereabouts through some mercenary friends who worked for the royal family, saying that someone had seen him in the core city.

He wrote the letter because he had made an important breakthrough in intelligence recently. Specifically, he learned from others that there was precious information about the Demon King in a mysterious bookstore, and it happened that this bookstore was located in the capital where Wang Zhifan was currently. Jack strongly recommended that he take time to take a look and gave the detailed address he had found out.

"He learned about my whereabouts from others... Could it be from the expedition fortress? But this doesn't make sense... I talked a little more with a gunner player there, and I didn't have much contact with other people..."

Although the letter was finished, Wang Zhifan was even more confused. His intuition told him that Jack's letter to him was a bit unusual and full of a deliberate taste.

"It's a bit strange... but this bookstore still managed to attract my attention... I have time now, so I can go and have a look."

Wang Zhifan didn't care too much after noticing something was wrong. He was confident that he could deal with various emergencies, especially when he was already alert.

Later, he followed the address given by Jack in the letter, left the square where the circus was being held, and arrived at the place.

It was located in a secluded corner of the outer city, not far from the square in the outer city. Wang Zhifan asked someone for directions and found the target location in no time.

More than a hundred meters away, he saw a bookstore that looked very ordinary on the side of a street with few pedestrians. The single-story wooden and stone structure house was decorated with exotic style, which was the style of dark hell. No wonder Jack heard that there might be information about the devil here.

"Everything is arranged properly, but sometimes being too normal is the most abnormal."

There is still a short distance from the mysterious bookstore. There are no abnormal signs around, but Wang Zhifan's super perception allows him to capture some unknown energy tracks.

This kind of energy trace is actually not a big deal in this world. After all, it is a world where extraordinary things exist, but his intuition tells him that things are not that simple.

"Could it be that the wizard I saw in the carriage yesterday is plotting against me? But why is he doing this?"

After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan listed a suspect, and at the same time his figure disappeared into the distance in an instant, leaving only a clone in the original place for follow-up exploration. This was necessary to act cautiously.

In the eyes of the few pedestrians on this street, the tall young man who appeared in their field of vision walked into the bookstore without hesitation, and no one could tell that the real person just now had become an illusory existence.

More than ten seconds later, Wang Zhifan's original body was hidden far away, and he controlled this clone to step into the strange bookstore with its door open but no one in it.

Through the vision of the clone, he saw that there were no customers in the bookstore, only an old man who should be the owner, and coincidentally, he keenly sensed that this seemingly ordinary old owner was not a flesh and blood body, and like the clone he sent here, he was also an illusory creation.

"Sure enough, I was careful."

Wang Zhifan's original body realized that the situation was developing as he expected. This so-called bookstore must be a trap set up by someone for him, but he didn't have to worry too much because he had a clone. He directly controlled the clone to walk towards the old man who was dozing on the chair next to the bookcase.

"Dear guest, what book are you looking for?"

The old man, whose body was actually illusory, quickly raised his head and looked at Wang Zhifan after he entered the store, revealing a kind smile. His vicissitudes of life eyes were particularly bright, as if another will was watching the visitor through them.

"I need some books about the devil."

Wang Zhifan pretended not to notice the abnormality of this person, and controlled the clone to respond, while paying attention to any changes around him, including the movements around his original body.

"Oh, the news that the devil is about to be born has spread all over the city recently. Many young people are borrowing this kind of books. I will take out their favorite one for you."

The old man, the owner of the store without a physical body, got up from his chair and walked to the bookcase next to him to take out a hardcover book with a hellish style binding for Wang Zhifan.

This guy did not show any difference from normal people throughout the whole process. If Wang Zhifan's perception was not too strong, he would definitely think he was a living person with flesh and blood.

"This book "The End of the Devil" records the great war two thousand years ago. The strong men of mankind worked together to defeat the terrifying devil. You can find the glorious deeds of the heroes in it, and you can also learn about the powerful equipment they used. These treasures are said to be collected in the dark tower now..."

The old man stretched out his hand and handed the hardcover book to Wang Zhifan, and also introduced the main content of it intimately.

"Thank you, it sounds like exactly what I need."

Seeing this, Wang Zhifan immediately controlled his clone to take the book. After practicing the Great Dream Sword Sutra for so long, he had already mastered the ability of the clone to materialize, and it was no problem to maintain the time of speed reading a book.

The time after that was a quick reading. Wang Zhifan controlled his clone to roughly browse the book, and indeed learned some information about the Demon King from it.

For example, the Demon King is very powerful and can destroy a town with a casual blow. The hell demon army under his command is even more terrifying, and it almost exterminated humans.

For example, a weapon that the Demon King once used was called the Sin Great Sword. It was stained with the blood of human strongmen and was later purified by the great sage Agulas Rod.

For example, the great sage Agulas Rod created a dark-avoiding cloak to fight against the Demon King. With the special effect of this equipment, he bravely broke into the Demon King's hell nest and destroyed the plane gate, so that the Demon King could no longer have a steady stream of hell servants.

After Wang Zhifan flipped through the last page of the book, he returned it to the old man who was resting on the chair.

The old man opened his eyes, and the first thing he said was not to ask for money, but to ask him with a smile if he had finished reading the book.

"Young man, have you finished reading it?"

"I have."

"Then I think you should understand your mission. Remember, you must not let the Sinful Great Sword fall into the hands of the Demon King, and you must also make good use of the Dark Cloak."

"Huh? How do you know this!"

"Hehe... Don't worry, young man, I have no ill will towards you... I am the direct descendant of the great sage Agulas Rod, and I have inherited his great and glorious name. I hope that in the future battlefield, you can help me fight the Demon King and win a brighter future for our human beings..."

After the illusory old man in the bookstore said these words to Wang Zhifan, his figure disappeared and there was no other movement, such as a bunch of people appearing around to besiege Wang Zhifan's clone.

This made Wang Zhifan know that someone was indeed targeting him today, but the person who was targeting him was very measured, or he had investigated very clearly and did not intend to engage in any internal fighting before the Demon King was born.

"This old man calls himself Agulas Rod. Could he be the Grand Duke mentioned by the Gunner player..."

At this moment, Wang Zhifan, who was hiding on the other side of the city and had taken back his clone, muttered to himself. He had been wandering around the city for the past two days and learned a lot of things. He was no longer in the state of knowing nothing at the beginning. From what the people who contacted him said, he knew that the other party was the top existence of the human beings in this city and even the world, but he was quite polite to him and did not take any radical actions.

"I don't understand how I was exposed... Could it be that Jack betrayed me? But shouldn't he be loyal to me? I paid him enough... Or did the appraiser of the Artisan Association betray me? But I clearly used the tree man mask to change my image at that time..."

After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan found that it was very strange that he was targeted and that people knew that he had the Sin Great Sword and the Dark Cloak. It was not easy to figure out the context with the information he knew, but things had come to this point, and he was too lazy to think about it. Anyway, it was just a copy.

He was even too lazy to contact the Grand Duke again, and planned to find a place to practice in peace and wait for the boss.

Because his intuition told him that the time for the Demon King to break the seal was approaching, and it would not be long before this copy would usher in the final battle. It would be wiser to maintain the best combat power than tossing around.

At the same time, in the capitals of the major kingdoms in this world, human masters gathered together, either actively or passively, and were ready to welcome the coming catastrophe.

The player group can only be regarded as an embellishment. Like most human professionals, their real opponents are the followers of the devil, not the devil himself.

Only a very small number of players can join the team of high-level professionals, and only these people have the qualifications to fight the devil head-on.

Among them, there is one person who lives in the same city as Wang Zhifan and has joined the Duke's combat group.

This person is not a Xia player. He comes from the neighboring Indian country in the real world. He has a very famous name among the Indian player group: Lizard Driver, which has appeared in the official news section of the Xia player forum.

The appearance of such high-level players shows that the difficulty of this dungeon is extraordinary, and it is definitely not what it is at the current stage.

At this moment, in a luxurious manor in the royal capital, the lizard driver is communicating enthusiastically with other human NPCs to prepare for the subsequent battle.

He is a thin, dark-skinned white man with a sparse beard. This distinctive Indian look shows that he is not from the upper class of the country, which may be related to his great fame in India.

There are just over ten people in the manor, and each of them has a good aura.

Among them, the one who stood high-profile beside a ten-meter-long black lizard and kept stroking the lizard's head with his hand was the lizard driver. Although he looked a little sorry, not tall or handsome enough, the strong confidence on his face was enough to overshadow anyone present.

He was heard stroking the big lizard beside him and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen! Don't worry! As long as I, Raji, make a little move, I can easily stop the demon king for you! If you are willing to give me a little more support! I will make the demon king disappear from this world completely!"
