All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

On the first night spent in the copy world, Wang Zhifan did not practice as usual, nor did he go to various places to gather more information. Instead, he immersed himself in observing the infinite lines of destiny revealed by the Ring of Destiny.

He found that it was just as he had inferred. The demons would descend upon this world en masse after a period of time. As for how long it would take, some said it would take one or two days, while others would take a month. He didn't know what key factors would influence the decision.

It can be inferred that this time is specifically for players to prepare for the copy, whether it is to understand this world or to collect intelligence on the demon king. Once the demon kings descend collectively, the real difficulty will be revealed.

"My plan is to kill all the demon kings, so it is very important to collect intelligence on all the demon kings. However, I currently only know of one Hellfire Demon King, and my understanding of Him is limited to knowing that He controls strange flames... It seems that I don't need to speed up the time for the demon kings to come to the world so that I can collect more information about the demon kings. There is no need to slow down the arrival of the demon kings either. Doing this kind of thing will consume me a lot, so I will just let nature take its course."

After thinking about this, Wang Zhifan left Silver Castle that night and began to travel and explore this world.

He had already obtained multiple versions of the world map, both before and after the disaster, so his exploration was much more purposeful and strategic than when he first arrived.

There is no need to go into details about the process. In short, after many investigations in various places, Wang Zhifan learned the names of the seven demon kings and their approximate power attributes.

In addition to the Hellfire Demon King who controls fire, who he first knew, there is also the Dark Demon King who controls darkness, the Pale Demon King who controls the decay of all things, the Pain Demon King who controls physical pain, the Greed Demon King who controls the desires of the mind, the Boundless Demon King who controls the sky and the earth, and the Black Demon King who controls depravity and stagnation.

The powers of these demon kings seemed to overlap quite a bit, and their names were somewhat similar, which made Wang Zhifan vaguely feel that there were some problems. At the same time, he also made a preliminary battle plan.

"The first Hellfire Demon King seems to have fire as his main power. He should be easier to deal with. I can wait for him to appear in the Silver Castle and then attack him directly."

"What does the second Dark Lord mean by the dark power he controls? Is it pure darkness? That's too weak. It's definitely not that simple. We should treat it with caution."

“The third pale demon king can make all things decay. I think it’s a time-related ability. He should be considered very powerful among the seven demon kings.

But I control the laws of time and space, and I also have the characteristics of a perfect being. Theoretically, I can completely defeat him, so you can consider taking priority over him."

"The fourth Pain Demon King can make the body feel deep pain. This power is probably the lowest level. Let's test it out and see."

"The fifth demon king is Greed. This demon king can influence the mind and inspire boundless desires in living beings. He is quite interesting and may be a great disaster. If you encounter him, you should beat him first."

"The sixth Unbounded Demon King controls the sky and the earth... I feel like he's a space demon king. If that's the case, he shouldn't be difficult for me to deal with."

"The seventh Black Demon Lord, is this guy a twin of the Dark Demon Lord? He controls the power of corruption and stagnation. It feels like the time system, and seems to be related to spiritual desires. It's hard to evaluate."

After comprehensively considering the intelligence he had collected, Wang Zhifan decided to prioritize solving the Hellfire Demon King, the Pale Demon King, and the Boundless Demon King. He would decide the order of killing the other four demon kings depending on the situation.

Therefore, in the following time, in addition to continuing to travel around the dungeon world to collect intelligence, he also observed the changes in the fate line of the Ring of Fate every day, waiting for the collective arrival of the demon kings.

Around the nineteenth day after he came to this dungeon world, he discovered that a large number of fate lines revealed by the Ring of Fate showed scenes of the devil's arrival. Knowing that the time to increase pressure was finally coming, he returned to the Silver Castle as planned.

At this moment, he appeared in the commission hall of Silver Castle and found that the state here was almost the same as he remembered half a month ago, with no obvious changes.

He originally thought that the devil was about to come, and the lackey Silver Hand would show his true colors, but it turned out that he was overthinking it. Perhaps the Silver Hand didn't know that the devil was about to return.

When he walked to the counter, Miss Daiya, who had not seen him for more than half a month, recognized him at a glance and immediately said with surprise:

"Mr. Wang! You're finally back! You haven't claimed the reward for the Nightmare Core yet!"

As she finished speaking, everyone in the entrustment hall focused their attention on Wang Zhifan and started discussing among themselves.

"Is that the strong man who killed the nightmare of the abyss under the quiet city? He looks so young!"

"I finally met him in person. I always thought he was someone else's fiction!"

"How could it be fake? Many Silver-level teams went to the underground of Quiet City to check. The terrifying creature is indeed gone, and there are still some of its remains around! He must have been killed!"

"By the way, don't all expeditions require a team of at least three people? Where are this strong man's teammates? Why haven't I seen any of them? No one even mentioned them?"

"Of course it's because someone else solved the Abyss Nightmare alone! This rule of Silver Castle is to protect professionals. It is naturally not applicable when encountering such a super strong one. Do you really think Silver Castle is a fool?"

……

Wang Zhifan didn't care about the discussions around him. He looked inside the counter and saw Miss Daya going behind the inner door.

Soon two young men came out carrying a box with the Silver Hand mark on the surface and placed it on the counter. Then Miss Daya came out with a crystal ball and came to Wang Zhifan, asking Wang Zhifan to make a handover record.

"Mr. Wang, a total of 1200 gold coins are here. Please count them carefully. If there is no problem, please touch this recording crystal and take all the gold coins away. This public commission will be settled."

Listening to Daya's introduction, Wang Zhifan opened the silver box full of gold coins, took a look, closed it again, then reached out and touched the crystal ball, and put all the gold coins into his personal space, making the entire silver box disappear instantly.

This portable space is not the one that comes with the extraordinary game, but the one he created personally. Since he has mastered the power of time and space, it is extremely easy for him to take things away from other worlds.

Seeing Wang Zhifan perform the act of collecting something out of thin air, everyone in the commission hall, including Miss Daya, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. After all, space equipment is very rare in this world, and Wang Zhifan's ability to do so indirectly proves that his strength is extraordinary.

"Where are Anna and Joseph? Have they come to take on any missions recently?"

Feeling a bit bored while waiting, Wang Zhifan started chatting with Daiya. He knew very few people in this place, so the topic was very limited. However, Daiya didn't dare to neglect him. When she heard his question, she thought for a moment and replied:
"Mr. Wang, during the half month you were away, Anna took a steel-level mission. She said that since you cured her leg, it has become much easier for her to find teammates and she is very grateful to you. As for Joseph, he has started taking copper-level missions and is much bolder than before. This must be due to your influence."

"That's good... So they are currently out on a mission?"

Unable to sense the presence of two people in the Silver Castle, Wang Zhifan continued to ask questions even though he knew the answer.

"Yes, if my estimation is correct, they should all be in the ruins of Quiet City."

Deya nodded in response.

"Quiet City... If the Hellfire Demon King descends, he might be there, and they might suffer because of it. But it doesn't matter. I'm just an ordinary friend to them who I've known for a few days. There's no need to care too much."

The thought flashed through his mind, and Wang Zhifan no longer paid attention to this matter. Then his figure flashed and disappeared in front of several people who came over to talk to him, and went to the commander's hall in the Silver Hand Castle.

This was the core area of ​​the Silver Castle that he had visited once. When he appeared silently, he happened to see the old leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand kneeling on the ground and praying.

The object of prayer is a large silver brazier, in which a blazing silver-white flame is burning. It looks very holy, and it is the legendary holy fire.

"Great Holy Fire... I pray that your light will protect the Silver Hand... protect the Silver Castle... protect all those who survived the disaster..."

It has to be said that this old knight prayed in a very serious manner. No one who saw it would guess that he actually had a deep connection with the devil, but Wang Zhifan happened to be an insider, and perhaps the only insider.

He concealed his breath and quietly appeared behind the old knight who was kneeling on the ground praying, observing his every move, hoping to discover something special, such as the old man's secret contact with the Hellfire Lord, but after observing for a while, he did not find anything suspicious.

"Is this old man praying as part of his daily routine? Or does he have a special sixth sense that he knows the devil is about to come to the world?"

After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan decided to investigate, but this time he didn't plan to look directly into other people's minds. He wanted to use a more primitive way of communication.

He just raised his foot and stepped on the marble floor. The old knight who was kneeling in front of the holy fire turned around in fright. Seeing a stranger standing behind him, he immediately burst out with speed and strength far beyond his age. He backflipped and drew the sword at his waist, trying to put the blade on Wang Zhifan's neck.

How could Wang Zhifan be suppressed by this level of attack? Although objectively speaking, the leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand is considered to be one of the top humans in this world, he is completely unqualified to fight against a saintly warrior like him.

In just a split second, the old captain stopped in the air. It was not because someone restrained his body and weapon physically, but because the space he was in was fixed. He was fixed in mid-air with his sword, neither up nor down. Even if he exerted force, it was of no use.

"Don't struggle. With your strength, you can't break the laws of space. Talk to me."

Looking at the old knight who was hanging in the air in front of him with a flushed face but unable to swing the sword in his hand, Wang Zhifan continued to speak.

"Who are you? What do you want to talk about?"

The leader of the Silver Hand Knights quickly regained his composure upon hearing this and looked at Wang Zhifan in front of him and asked a question.

Wang Zhifan did not answer him immediately, but walked to the burning holy fire, stretched out his hand to feel the temperature of the silver-white flame, and then slowly said:
"This so-called holy fire is just a special fire with some exorcism and healing effects. It doesn't have any real holy power at all... So you turned to the Hellfire Demon King and bowed down to the real power?"

As Wang Zhifan spoke, especially when he mentioned the term "Hellfire Demon King", he felt the heart of the old knight fixed in the air behind him suddenly beat faster, as if his deepest secret had been seen through. However, the old knight's face remained very calm, and he pretended to be calm and replied:

"Stranger, I don't know what you are talking about! But what you said is a slander against all of us, the Silver Hand..."

Seeing that he was being stubborn, Wang Zhifan didn't say much. He just stretched out his hand and opened an illusory plane in front of the old knight. An image of a demon king wearing a flaming skirt appeared on the plane. The demon king slowly opened his mouth and said something. It was exactly the image that Wang Zhifan obtained in the old knight's mind half a month ago.

"No! Impossible! This is impossible!"

For a moment, the old knight was so shocked by the scene before him that he was incoherent. It was not because the imaging techniques displayed by Wang Zhifan were so magical, but because he could not believe the content of the images. It was something only he could know.

"Hehe... Nothing is impossible in this world. Since you have surrendered to the Demon King, you must be prepared to be exposed."

When the old knight calmed down a little, Wang Zhifan replied and asked the question he was most concerned about:
"Tell me, why did you collude with the Demon King? Are you really joining your greatest enemy just to survive? Does this conform to the chivalry you follow? Your actions have seriously betrayed the entire Silver Hand!"

Faced with Wang Zhifan's sarcasm, the old knight remained silent. He did not answer Wang Zhifan's question immediately, but Wang Zhifan didn't care too much. As long as he wanted, he could directly peek into the thoughts in this person's mind and get the most truthful answer from it.

However, the old knight may have seen something from the previous video, and before Wang Zhifan could use this method, he slowly spoke:

"You are wrong. I have not betrayed the Way of Knights, nor have I betrayed the Silver Hand... because... they... are the great Lord of Light! They are part of the Lord of Light after his fall! All I have done is to revive the Lord of Light! This is the most loyal adherence to the Way of Knights!"

"???"

The old knight's nonsense like a madman immediately filled Wang Zhifan with question marks. He had to think in silence for several seconds and felt that things were becoming more and more complicated.

"They... are you referring to the Demon King? The Demon King is the Lord of Holy Light? Or is he a part of the Lord of Holy Light? What kind of reversal setting is this? Is this old man crazy?"

Wang Zhifan, who had searched the old knight's thoughts before, was surprised. When he searched other people's thoughts, he only looked for the parts that he was interested in. He didn't expect to ignore such a strange content. (End of this chapter)
