I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 280 I want you to help me practice!
Contrary to Feng Xue's expectations, at this moment, besides surprise and curiosity, the strongest emotion in Delis's heart was actually fear.

If you want to ask why——

"There are demons in this world!"

The term "demon god" sounds much more powerful than "demon king," but that's not actually the case. Demon gods are also demon kings, but they are given the title of "god" because they mainly use divine power. However, there are all sorts of power systems in this world, and the fact that demon gods are separated out is naturally for a reason.

After all, the ability systems used by most demon lords are strongly related to the world they live in. Their strength will be greatly reduced if they are separated from the environment of their current world. This is the underlying logic of the Exile Land.

But demons are different, because divine power is widespread in the world where intelligent beings live. To put it simply, as long as intelligent beings exist, there will be divine power in this world.

Therefore, compared to a demon king who can only disrupt one world, a demon god, if left uncontrolled, often causes large-scale impacts on neighboring worlds, especially after it develops the ability to travel between worlds, which can lead to the fall of large areas of the world.

Therefore, before the Exile Lands system was introduced, once a powerful demon god emerged, even at the risk of the destruction of the entire world and suffering a backlash from the world, gods would descend to the mortal realm to punish him.

This situation once led to a large number of vacancies in the combat priesthood, which led to the establishment of military units where priesthood could be obtained through examinations. However, as the land of exile was developed, the employment gap for gods decreased sharply. To this day, they only choose to descend to the mortal realm when a large number of demon gods are about to return from the land of exile and there are no powerful enough heroes to deal with them.

And now, the land of exile, which should not produce divine power, is actually producing it!
Doesn't that mean that this place of exile can no longer contain the demon god?
Thinking of this, Delis felt a chill run down her spine, a coldness shooting from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. Feng Xue, naturally noticing the sudden change in Delis's emotions, immediately asked:

"What's wrong? Is there any hidden danger in this kind of wish?"

"This isn't a question of whether there's a hidden danger or not; it's a question of the world's survival. But if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. We just need to deal with the demonic dragon, and the rest will naturally be handled by specialists after the event."

Delis forcefully shook off the unnecessary sense of responsibility in her mind. To put it bluntly, even if there really was a demon god, it wouldn't have much to do with her, who was just watching the surveillance. The same thing, done in a different order, would have drastically different results. If she went out to report now, she might be accused of "negligence that caused a bug in the Exile Land." But if she dealt with the demon dragon first, it would become the credit for "discovering a powerful hero and finding a loophole in the Exile Land at the same time."

"Is that so?" Although Feng Xue felt that Delis was definitely hiding something, upon closer inspection, she realized that this matter was actually the same as the joke about that rookie sniper on the battlefield.

If you finally find someone with poor aim to hold a position, don't think about taking them out. What if the next person with good aim is right?
Delis, unaware that she had already revealed a great deal of information, nodded vigorously and said:

"That's right. In short, the divine power itself is not the problem. The problem it generates will only take a long time to develop. Let's deal with the demonic dragon as soon as possible so that I can report the problem to higher authorities."

"Alright." Feng Xue nodded, then said:

"I have already made a plan regarding the method to seal the demonic dragon, but as I said before, I have now reached a bottleneck in my research. The faster you can help me resolve this, the sooner we can defeat the demonic dragon."

"Okay, okay!" Delis had originally just thought that the people from the upper realm were showing off, but now, the sense of urgency from the demon god made her take it seriously.

Sensing the change in Delis's emotions, Feng Xue immediately took her to the library and placed a thick stack of spellbooks in front of her.

Feng Xue didn't care about leaks at all. In his opinion, as long as it wasn't a "mysterious" ability that weakened the more people used it, he wouldn't care whether it was spread. In the end, the more people mastered a piece of knowledge, the more likely it was to innovate. If everyone clung to their own traditions and worked behind closed doors, it would only become weaker and weaker.

Looking at the ever-growing pile of books in front of her, Delis suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, recalling her days of frantically browsing the library back in school. Although she was a top student, she didn't miss that time at all.

But now that her life and fortune are at stake, she can only muster the same resolve she had when she took the civil service exam, activate the auxiliary module, and start frantically practicing questions.

Feng Xue watched as Delis read quickly, as if cramming for an exam the night before. For a moment, he doubted whether she could actually absorb the information. But soon, Delis's insightful questions dispelled his doubts.

Although she may not seem very bright, she is certainly not just a pretty face.

Soon, the atmosphere in the library began to change. At first, it was Delis carrying Feng Xue around, but then it became Delis asking questions and Feng Xue answering. By that afternoon, the two were discussing things with each other.

Although Delis doesn't fully understand Eastern philosophical thinking, magic, aside from its methods of induction and summarization, is essentially just the arrangement and combination of forces. With her knowledge of the divine realm, Delis clearly has a higher level of insight in this regard. Delis can often point out a general direction at a glance what Feng Xue and Xiao Lingdang can only obtain through exhaustive search.

However, Delis is not omnipotent. Apart from the spells of the three systems of hunting, knights and nobles, what she has mastered is basically just theoretical knowledge. When Feng Xue breaks down the problem into practical applications, she can only rely on the auxiliary system built into the equipment to calculate.

However, as the conversation continued, Delis gradually noticed a problem—

"What do these spells you're researching have to do with fighting the dragon?"

"Of course it's related!" Feng Xue said stubbornly, but inwardly she was slightly startled, realizing she had gotten a little carried away. She quickly replied:

"This spell system is essentially derived from the power source obtained from the Demon Dragon. By studying this system, we can analyze the operational state of the Demon Dragon's abilities. Currently, the Demon Dragon only has the Wood element left, and at most, it can control the Wind and Thunder forces. Through the mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements, we can suppress it. However, the prerequisite is that we must deduce the spell blueprints and transformation processes corresponding to the Five Elements, which are what we are calculating now. Once the formula is completed, we can set up a large array to ambush the Demon Dragon."

However, Delis was clearly not truly foolish. Her gaze swept over the structures of the spells, and she frowned, saying:
"So how are you going to lure the demonic dragon into your ambush? This level of formation can't be hidden from anyone with even a little bit of spiritual vision, right?"

"That's simple, just give him a reason he has no choice but to come."
