"What is this?" Lu En picked up the gem. This one looked much simpler, not too fancy.

"The map is not valuable, just take it." Ayouken explained, but he didn't say much. Anyway, Lu En would know its use by then.

The other party has already said it to this extent. If he refuses to accept it, that is not polite and disrespectful.

Lu En thanked him again and accepted the gem, ready to take it back to see what was recorded inside.

Afterwards, they continued to communicate, but this time it was not about politics or interest exchange, but about insights, knowledge, and secret rumors.

This conversation lasted until the evening, which opened Lu En's eyes and admired Gu Long's broad knowledge.

Many ancient secrets were told by the other party as if they were free of charge, such as the Gray Lady's magical context, origin and worldview inheritance, the high-level magic she possesses, etc., and the other party said it directly!

With this piece of information, Lu En's winning rate against the Gray Lady is almost 90%! If there is a head-on conflict with the Gray Lady, it will be almost impossible for the other party to defeat Lu En, in addition to possessing ancient secrets that even Ayuken doesn't know.

!

Of course, except for the Golem, if Daedalus had spent all the financial resources of the empire, his supreme masterpiece, the Golem Atheism, was taken out and operated by the Gray Lady herself, then as long as the supply of magic power could be maintained and under the magic network of the Imperial Capital,

Even the Immortals can compete in a short period of time, but Lu En will definitely not be able to defeat him. This is a gap in hard power.

He would not be stupid enough to fight with the other party in the imperial capital, unless it was for a special purpose like last time.

In addition to the Gray Lady's affairs, he also got a lot of information inside the church, such as... He knew that heaven was at war with hell.

Heaven feels that Hell has seized the soul of a level 9 saint, and is preparing to use violent means to get it back.

And hell is too lazy to pursue this matter. With the character of those demons, no matter what the reason is for you to find trouble, just fight and it will be over. What are the responsibilities, reasons, etc., are they important?

The demons don't even bother to say anything from the heavenly apostle. Anyway, if you come to the door, they'll fight you.

Then the war began to spread, and a gap was directly opened between heaven and hell. The left and right hands of the gods, the incarnation of divine punishment, Extinction, and Seraph Gaidin personally took action. With the blessing of heaven, they overcame the three kings, namely the Eternal One and the Crystal Singer.

and the Three Shakers.

The other kings have not taken action yet, but correspondingly, the Six Lords of Heaven and the Eight Supreme Heroes have not set off collectively. Both sides have not yet exerted all their strength, and the fight has not expanded.

But this is only an early confrontation, and the two sides are likely to expand the intensity of the war in the follow-up.

Also, on the Sea Tribe side, the young Sea Emperor Dragon won. He ate his brother, the Lord of the Four Seas Abyss, overthrew the mermaid emperor, and regained the throne of the Sea Emperor.

What made Lu En confused was that the other party did not ask for his help. This was different from what he had promised at the beginning. However, he did still owe the young Sea Emperor Dragon a favor. Perhaps the other party was planning to save this favor for someone else.

Reuse the place.

In addition, he also learned information about other demon kings. Yes, Ayuken even has connections with all the kings. As an ancient dragon who likes to wander around, his connections are incredibly wide.

So, Lu En asked him: "What do you think...the purpose of the Crystal Singer? Why did he want to blow up the Styx Water Plant? Is this good for him?"

Ayouken's answer was: "How do I know what he thinks? But as far as I know, he has a daughter who was born from the River Styx. He has always wanted to awaken the nature of the River Styx in this daughter, which may be related to

This plan is related, but I don’t know the details. We haven’t spoken for a thousand years.”

Obviously, Ayuken didn't know the truth behind the Styx Water Plant, but this also made Lu En breathe a sigh of relief.

But he also learned about the details of several other kings through this, which was much more detailed than any rumors or books.

The Ancient of Days, Hilerius, was a king similar to a gelatinous monster. His body was like a sea, filled with foul-smelling slime gelatin. He had nine million eyes, all rolling in this gelatinous ocean.

, if you want to kill him, you must destroy all nine million eyes, otherwise he will regenerate quickly.

It is really fast, he can regenerate a million eyes every second, his regeneration ability is extremely strong, and his skill is "Pollution 9".

Wherever he passes, everything changes into his gelatinous, malevolent form and becomes his seabed.

Fortunately, he is not willing to move. His nature is to stay in place, so... he is not only the blood of the king, but also the only liquid ocean in hell.

There is only one living creature in the ocean, and that is himself.

Lu En has already learned about the Crystal Singer. He is naturally formed from a whole crystal vein. The origin of hell is integrated into the forming process. The energy pulse of the crystal constitutes his thinking, which may be one in a trillion.

Probability, but he just showed up.

The Crystal Singer's skill is "Restriction 9". He has superhuman force field capabilities and can do many incredible things, including easily locking the entire space and completely isolating even gravity.

Takane the Shaker, with Strength 9 and Tenacity 9, is a huge demon with a height of several thousand meters. He is almost the same as the legendary Titan. Every time he fights, he is enough to make the entire hell ground tremble, so he is called the Shaker.

, his style is simple and crude, hitting everyone head-on. He has no special abilities, but he also has no weaknesses.

You Ye, the memory eater, is an incorporeal king who can eat memories. She was born from the origin of the part of hell that represents the Styx, and has some of the characteristics of the Styx. In other words, as long as she is touched, all

Her thoughts and memories will gradually become blank, and she has already trained this instinct to the extreme, which is enough to easily inject memories absorbed from other creatures, or her own fabricated memories into the victim's mind, or from the victim's mind.

Erase these memories from your mind.

The corresponding skill is: "Brainwashing 9."

The King of Eternal Darkness, Bela, is the king who has formed an alliance with mankind. He has received the smallest source of hell and is also the most miserable one. He was born as an ordinary demon and did not even know that he has the source of hell in his body and can mobilize the realm.

However, he climbed up step by step. After thousands of years, he finally became a level 9 demon from the lowest level. During this period, he gradually discovered the king's nature in himself, and finally became what he is now.

The skill is combat 9.

Yes, Fighting 9, he is proficient in almost any fighting technique, proficient in the use of all weapons, possesses superhuman tenacity, insight and firm mind. Through long-term mental training and suffering, he has entered the realm of perfect fighting.

There will never be any flaws, always in the best condition, and able to cope with all battle scenes.

This even includes some methods of using magic! As long as it is related to combat, he can say that he can do both!

Of course, there is also Lu En, the King of Monsters, Magic 9.

This is the detailed information about the king's bloodline that Ayuken knows.

In addition, he also talked about some information about large monster clusters, which would be used by Lu En in future negotiations, as well as some private anecdotes about the great nobles, such as Duke Walder's two sons who have been fighting among themselves, but he himself

It seems that he is happy to see the result, or maybe the Marquis of Bennen does not actually love his wife, he prefers his prostitute because he is crooked.

For some more interesting gossip, the alchemists of the Third Ring Council have developed a mass-produced golem named Crescent Shard. The whole body is composed of a bright yellow fine broken leaf, which turns into a humanoid object.

Glowing, like a moving ball of suspended light, the aura around the crescent moon fragments is covered with small, razor-like sharp edges, which are sharper than steel knives. As long as they get close, they will be cut into pieces.

Debris, destructive ability is close to level 4.

This new type of golem will join the army within two years at most and become a regular force in the army.

Furthermore, he warned Lu En that the emperor was not as weak as he seemed. According to Ayuken's observation, he may not be a high-level professional, but he must have similar trump cards and be able to burst out with powerful power.

Then the two sides talked about the affairs of the Sea Territory. Ayuken seemed to know some inside stories, and he didn’t know how he knew it, but he said that the civil strife in the Sea Territory had actually been revealed by the ancient Sea Emperor Dragon. It can be said that everything that has happened so far has not been revealed.

It was beyond the calculations of this ancient wise man, but Ayouken didn't know what the specific situation was.

Lu En asked Ayouken about Daedalus, focusing especially on Daedalus's teachers and elders, or his guides and mentors on the path of magic.

This matter was related to the information given by the Crystal Singer, so Lu En attached great importance to it.

But the answer he got was unsatisfactory and could only barely meet Lu En's needs.

Ayucan's answer to this question was: "Actually, as a genius with 6 intelligence from birth, he was quickly received into the church and raised by a priest himself. He studied the holy scriptures since he was a child. You know

Yes, at that time the church was so powerful that it was quite an honor to be a priest."

"He thought so too, and after a long period of studying and interpreting scriptures, he became a devout believer and at the same time he understood something."

"Daedalus understood that since this world was created by the gods, doesn't it mean that as long as you understand this world enough, you can understand the gods?"

"There is no doubt that this logic is correct. He cannot see God in person, nor can he understand God himself. Then, he only needs to deconstruct and understand God's creation, that is, this world, and he will naturally be able to get closer to the creator of the world to a certain extent.

idea."

"With this original intention, he started his initial research, and his mentor was an ancient mage at the time named Fami. Fami was a traditional ancient mage. He advocated the 'natural theory of magic'.

This is a world view spread by ancient mages, which believes that magic comes from nature itself and is slowly born from other things. Mages can use this power to control nature and manipulate elements."

"Under the influence of the natural theory of magic, he began to search for the root cause, but found that many studies on the world were inconsistent with the statements in the holy scriptures. The time when God created the world did not match the real existence time of the world at all, so

He had a lot of doubts, which was his initial motivation, remember, he was only twenty-five years old at this time."

"After that, he began to solve ancient puzzles in large numbers. All ancient puzzles were like child's play in his hands. He himself quickly accumulated a lot of knowledge through this method, until he completely became a disbeliever.

.”

"From all the things I know, he only had Fami as his mentor in magic. But because of these things, Fami violated the church's taboos and was burned to death. This incident triggered a lot of criticism from the church against mages.

During the siege, that is, the witch-hunting operation, the clergy had a lot of collisions with the mages. Because of this incident, Daedalus completely defected from the church and quickly became a powerful figure capable of standing upright within fifty years. After that, he formed

Academics have always been the sworn enemies of the church."

This story gave Lu En a headache. Obviously, everything in it was logically self-consistent and formed a closed loop. There was nothing special about it, and that Fami...

To put it bluntly, he is just a magic 6. Is this kind of person qualified to go to hell or even hurt a king? Obviously, it is completely impossible!

Ayouken had personally experienced those days, and he had no reason to lie to himself. In other words, this was probably a true incident at the time, without any rumors mixed in with it.

If these things are true, then who was the person who used that image to cause trouble in hell before Daedalus was born? Doesn't even Ayukan know?

He wanted to ask directly, but the problem was that if he said it directly, it would be equivalent to telling Ayuken that he bombed the Styx Water Plant. This was basically a matter of seeking death. He would not do it, so he could only keep the question in his heart.

.

In the end, the two people exchanged some business information. Ayouken didn't care much about it. This ancient dragon had too much money to spend. He probably just wanted to help Lu En's caravan get more.

Interests.

These trade secrets include some scarce supplies from chambers of commerce, addresses of high-value professionals, and others are even more astonishing, including tax-free quotas and permissions for new trade routes. The most valuable one is undoubtedly the address of a mine, a copper mine.

It is also a rich mine, and it has been involved in mining disputes recently. The mining rights have not been determined, but it is very close to Anluo.

As long as a few people are asked to dig it in advance, I believe that the original chamber of commerce will definitely not provoke a new border earl because of this matter.

This is a huge increase in Lu En's financial resources.

The exchange continued until the next day, and finally, amidst the sound of harmony, Ayouken said goodbye to Lu En and went back to do business.
