After I quit the team, they chased me

Bai Tang rushed to the volumes that were previously only accessible to high-ranking clergymen who had no authority to read them.

Some of these files are confidential and some are non-confidential.

The non-confidential version is also available in the library.

Confidential files are kept in the library. The current room is not a library, so Bai Tang doesn't intend to go too far. He just needs to look at files that he has never seen before within the allowed rules.

It so happened that the first file she touched was about weapons. She flipped through the catalog and soon saw the classification of weapons, which happened to contain weapon knowledge related to the cross.

The other end.

Simon found the history section and saw books such as Continental History.

In books such as the Historical Records, the Marian Era and the origin and development of mankind are described in detail.

The Age of Mary is similar to the myths on Earth. Simon believes that it is something made up by humans, not a documentary content.

It was not until the second volume, The Age of Ten Thousand Races, that the content became a little more substantial.

In the Age of Ten Thousand Races, strange beasts of various races roamed the land, the Virgin Mary hid above the sun, and humans were forced to leave the embrace of God and begin to become self-reliant.

In this volume, most of the ancient people wore animal skins and clothing, lived in caves, and had living habits similar to those of the Shangding Cave people.

The third volume is about the human era, when humans established their dominance on the continent. The most widely used power is the power of gods' blessing, which is the adventurer power system. However, the word "adventurer" only appeared after other gods' systems were incorporated.

In the Holy Mother Church’s own biography, the power of the adventurer system was a gift from God. If it weren’t for the intervention of other gods, the church would not want to record the word “adventurer”.

At this point, the main background storyline that Simon remembered just happened to be connected.

In the main storyline, the various gods have their own grievances with each other, and the adventurers who believe in the power of that god system are hostile to adventurers of certain main professions according to the preferences of the gods. In this era, human wars are frequent.

Since some professions are not combat-type professions, the clergy of the nurse system naturally suffered a lot. Later, they developed the power of using holy light to hit people. The same was true for other non-combat professions, and they gradually developed professions that could be used for combat.

The above is the role of Our Lady Church in the background.

By the fourth volume, dungeons have sprung up all over the world, the power of alien monsters has eroded the human world, the gods have united, and the adventurers have also faced a crisis of survival and have united together.

At this point, all professions finally developed a sense of cooperation and worked together to fight against the dungeon forces.

The front line against the dungeon monsters is where the gods are, that is, the mythical dungeon, also known as the place where the gods return.

Judging from the name, the gods have fallen and there are no more gods in the world.

Actually not.

The main storyline of the game officially begins here. The old gods die and new gods are established. Players will play the role of adventurers and enter the land of gods, choose their own career system, and enter the dungeon adventure.

During this period, adventurers can form a team or act as a lone ranger.

However, it has been proven that the later the BOSS battles are, the more terrifying they become. Players who like to be lone rangers will only be drowned in the tide and not make any splash.

The main storyline along the way is basically related to Shen Xin.

Some new gods have already been born, while others have not yet appeared.

Players are divided into four major factions. One faction is to prevent the birth of new gods and try to ascend to the throne of gods in the form of players.

The other group of players obey the new god, complete the main quest under the guidance of the new god, and destroy any events related to the birth of the new god. In addition, this group of players will also secretly fight against the forces of the dungeon.

The third faction of players is the dungeon faction, helping the dungeon forces to erode the continent, pollute the throne, fight against mainstream players, and secretly sabotage.

The fourth faction is the scenery party. They don’t do missions and don’t want to fight. They just want to see the scenery and wander around. If they have to fight, they will also find a way to escape from the battle. There are quite a lot of escape from combat skills in the game.

The above is the general outline of the main storyline that Simon knows.

Looking through the church-specific historical records in hand, apart from the false fabrications of the church, the most useful content for Simon was of course the part starting from the construction of the royal city.

In the year 01 of the royal calendar, the royal city was built. In the same year, the headquarters of the Church of Our Lady was built in the royal city, establishing the supremacy of the theocratic authority of the Church of Our Lady.

The following year, the Church of Our Lady began to expand, establishing churches in various localities.

The church branch in Haizhen was built in the 10th year of Wangli, which took a full ten years.

In the many years that followed, the church always existed as kingdoms changed. Kings came and went during its tenure, and even though the surnames changed, the church remained firmly in power. This shows that the Church of Our Lady has a strong foundation.

Simon had a good memory, so he flipped through the book very quickly. He flipped through hundreds of pages and found out that in the 401st year of the royal calendar, the snow mountain descended.

Several years later, the local people designated the year when the snow mountain fell as the first year of the new calendar and gave up contacting the royal city for help.

Simon focused on finding this content, naturally in order to establish the current situation of the kingdom, what it experienced before the arrival of the snow mountain, whether there was any unrest in the underground city, or other events occurred.

Fortunately, after Simon looked around, he didn't see what he was most worried about - the players.

No one who claims to be a player appears, nor does any genius who claims to be a "prophet" predict the main events that will occur in the future.

The absence of these things means that Simon is the only time traveler, and no one else travels with him.

Don’t think this is unimportant. Simon was not a top player in his previous life. If there were other time travelers, he was not sure that his development speed would be better than those top players.

“But just because there weren’t any time travelers before doesn’t mean there weren’t any when I traveled through time, so I still have to be on guard.

"We must find out the current situation in the distance as soon as possible, whether there are any living civilized cities with human civilization..." Simon thought to himself.

Chapter 316 History

After reading it once, Simon confirmed that he had memorized the entire book, so he put it down and looked for the next history-related book.

This is due to the dream maker's natural talent. If Simon didn't have a photographic memory, he wouldn't be able to flip through the book and memorize things so quickly.

The clergy standing in the distance stared at Simon and found that Simon's reading speed was unusual, as if he was not reading the book, but simply flipping through it, not really reading it.

As the pastor in charge of the books, Simon couldn't help but remind him to read the books carefully and not waste them like this.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, looking at Simon's appearance and feeling the deep and sea-like star-level pressure emanating from him, fine beads of sweat gradually appeared at the roots of the pastor's hair, and his throat was stuck, and he couldn't speak.

Forget it.

The pastor shook his head, not daring to speak to a four-star boss, let alone accuse him.

Having said that, the pressure of star level is so terrible. The power of God is probably just like this. It can make people speechless.

The pastor was both afraid and yearning, and was very envious of those who were promoted to four stars.

He thought to himself: This is no longer something that can be explained by talent or perseverance, it must be a miracle.

I don’t know how Simon attracted the favor of the God of Assistance.

He followed Simon's footsteps silently, watching him flipping through the book, on guard against him suddenly putting the book into his space backpack, or doing something malicious like tearing up the book.

At this time, he noticed that most of the books Simon read were history books, while the books read by the other team members were of other categories, some were related to local customs and culture, some were life essays, or philosophical theories, etc.

Simon has no interest in this?

Not really.

By constantly reading books, Simon is constantly activating the main storyline in his mind.

For some of the main storylines, he only took a quick glance, and his brain subconsciously remembered the relevant traces, but it was still too difficult for him to actively recall them, unless there was something related to stimulate this part of the memory and make the memory come out actively.

So although Simon seems to be reading a book, he is actually borrowing the book to read his own memories.

'I see. It is not impossible for the dungeon forces to completely dominate the land. The current development of the world is more like the world line after the third faction of players succeeds...' Simon thought.

The third faction of players supports the dungeon forces. In other words, they have joined the evil forces, aiding and abetting them, helping the bosses to seize the world, suppress all human main cities, and create a brand new world dominated by dungeons.

However, what confused Simon was that in the main storyline of the game in his previous life, no matter how rampant the dungeon forces were, they only formed the reputation of restricted areas in certain places, which were high-difficulty gaming venues for full-star players.

For example, the area where the mythical dungeon is located is a restricted area, where ordinary monsters have powerful one-hit capabilities and can kill a full-health player instantly.

Apart from these restricted areas, other territories are basically still the territories of human civilization. Many dungeons are controlled by humans and have become cash cows similar to money printing machines. A steady stream of high-level materials and blue essence blocks are transported out to meet the needs of players.

Judging from the current situation, there is either a restricted area near Haizhen, or the world line has changed, heading towards the direction of wild monsters dominating the world, which is the most unlikely thing to happen in the main storyline.

After Simon read all the books, he found that before the arrival of the snowy mountains, there were records of major events in underground cities in various parts of the kingdom.

For example, a BOSS named "XX" runs out of the dungeon and suppresses the humans in the human city, and adventurers go out in full force to subdue him.

Although there is no record of the fall of a city of human civilization in history books, there were too many big bosses who escaped, and the number has exceeded five hundred.

After these BOSSes escaped, two hundred died, more than two hundred were missing, and there were a few epic BOSSes whose whereabouts everyone knew but could not handle.

Combined with the fact that there had been no visitors to the royal city for a hundred years since the arrival of the snow mountain, the local clergy had already guessed the truth - the kingdom was probably dead, razed to the ground by epic bosses.

Once they become so powerful that no one can handle them, the dungeons managed by humans become hidden dangers. Every time an epic BOSS arrives in a dungeon, it can liberate a dungeon.

As more and more monsters emerged from the earth, no one could handle them.

After Simon finished reading the history books, he began to look for travel books about local customs and culture to increase his own insights into the local customs and understand the overall picture of the kingdom.

When the pastor saw Simon changing the book, he followed him quietly, not knowing what he meant. He could only think to himself that the content Simon read was really miscellaneous and he did not read it seriously.

At this time, Simon suddenly asked, "I heard that you have a library. Are there any historical books that are banned?"

After hearing this, the pastor broke out in a cold sweat again.

He was supervising Simon here because he was afraid that Simon would make such excessive demands.

Allowing them to read the truth was already the biggest concession made by the church, but Simon unexpectedly wanted to go further and see the secret history of the church.

The priest opened his mouth, his throat dry, trying to suppress his fear, and said, "Mr. Simon, the secret history of the church can only be read by the Pope or bishops. I am not qualified to show you such a confidential book."

Simon didn't ask any more questions and continued reading.

He discovered that the kingdom had many different landforms, ranging from deserts to salt flats, plains, and even large glaciers.

At this time, according to the map of the main storyline, Simon vaguely found the coordinates of Haizhen on the big map, which was approximately the edge of the upper left corner. Going east and then north, you can reach the Glacier Land. If you go south, you will be heading towards the royal city.

The mythical dungeon is farther away. You have to pass the royal city in the middle, wade through the desert, dense forest, and volcano, then you will see the place where the gods return.

According to ancient records, it would take nearly half a year to travel from the sea town to the royal city at the speed of a horse-drawn carriage.

This horse is an example of an ordinary horse breed produced in the dungeon.

Although it is called an ordinary horse, it is not an ordinary horse, but a horse blessed with supernatural powers. It is no problem for it to travel a thousand miles a day.

Changing to the Nether Horse can shorten the time, but it is still very long. I can’t imagine how far this royal city is.

But considering that this is a fantasy world, with such a vast area and outrageous regional divisions, it is not very strange.

Simon found Bai Tang and discovered that she had finished reading the books about weapons.

At this time, Simon went to her again to find out what materials were used to upgrade the cross.

It feels better to do it myself, Simon thought.

Chapter 317 Night Talk

When it comes to weapons, to put it bluntly, there is no technology that has never been seen before.

The idea of ​​refining weapons is nothing more than adding materials and alchemy.

As long as there are materials and an alchemist with relevant skills, there will be no problem in refining it.

After Simon learned about this, he realized that instead of asking the church to make these things, it would be better for him to make them himself. Maybe he could create an extraordinary cross.

Here I will first talk about how the cross of the Church of Our Lady is made.

An ordinary cross is made by melting ordinary mineral materials from the first to third floors of the dungeon into the shape of a cross, adding light-based chain metal patterns, and then having the alchemist perform tuning, and the most basic cross is formed.

If a more advanced cross is to be developed, the rarity of the mineral material must be increased, which is why Simon said frankly that he could do it himself.

As for mineral materials, with current financial resources, we can naturally buy any top-grade minerals.

Moreover, many unknown minerals are being discovered outside the snow-capped mountains, and these mineral materials can further improve the quality of the cross.

The gold patterns of the holy light chain used on this cross are actually the same from ordinary crosses to extraordinary crosses, with no innovation in the gold patterns of the holy light chain.

Simon guessed that because there was no innovation in the chain metal patterns of the Holy Light, there was no knowledge of the chain metal of the King's Cross in the documents recorded by the local church.

After reading the weapons knowledge with Bai Tang, Simon scanned other books.

It took Simon about an afternoon to memorize all the books with the help of his dreamer's super memory.

What remains is the unknown library that has not been visited.

Simon was quite interested in the church's secret collection of books, but he had no good reason to force them to open it, unless Simon wanted to be a devil.

However, Simon is a principled man. Looking into the library is the limit of what Simon can do with his identity. If he asks for anything less, he will have to resort to violence, which is a bit unfair.

Simon and his team members discussed it in a low voice, but ultimately they could not come to a conclusion, so they stopped there, left the library, and went to the mineral market to buy materials and look for suitable minerals for white sugar.

The people of Our Lady Church breathed a sigh of relief. Not escalating the conflict was the best outcome for them.

Some people in the church who were hostile to Simon had to admit that fighting a four-star adventurer was too dangerous. If they let them escape, it would inevitably cause unrest in the church.
