Chapter 963: Chapter 907: The Knowledge of the Divine Book Won’t Be So Easily Obtained
When Da Fei returned to the dormitory, it was already 8:30 in the morning, and as soon as he went online, he saw Samael chatting happily with Remy.
Seeing Da Fei appear, Samael said with a smile, "Warrior, you came just in time. Your barracks’ renovation is almost complete, and it should be ready for you to take over when you get there."
Catherine also stepped forward and said, "Captain, the Golden Spearfish has been temporarily repaired and can set off, though its combat capability may be lacking, it’s still fine for carrying cargo."
Samael continued to smile and said, "Warrior, your achievements in pacifying the Crab Sea have exceeded Samaster’s expectations; he might have a special reward!"
What was meant to happen has finally come. Da Fei rejoiced, "Thank you, Lord Samael, for your care. Since time is short, let’s set off."
Remy also smiled and said, "Lord City Lord, when you come back next time, I will surely exceed your expectations. Mr. Samael’s ideals and your tasks, allow me to assist in accomplishing them!"
Wow, haha, I’ve been waiting for you to say that.
Now, leaving some production tools and plenty of food and drinks for Yasoro’s pirates, Da Fei’s fleet set sail towards Ghost Dragon Cliff. The next target might be the North Pole, and yes, it’s time to let Renior, this veteran driver, lead the way.
At this moment, Da Fei was full of vigor and spirit. He hadn’t slept well for so many days and nights, so having such a comfortable sleep as last night, where he slept through till dawn, was truly rare. Sometimes, life isn’t about having big pursuits, but being able to have a good night’s sleep is the greatest happiness.
Now the seas were all safe pacified areas; there were no dangers left. The two days to reach Ghost Dragon Cliff had to be utilized effectively. Da Fei began to check his tasks. First, he went to the bar on the Radiant Wings to check the progress of Ista’s poison research.
But Ista was not there, and a dancer replied, "Sir, Ista has always been in the deputy officer’s room."
Oh, so it’s closed-off training. That’s fine; such things shouldn’t require any player worry. As long as time passes, NPCs will naturally become stronger, just like Renior’s long sleep.
At this time, the dancer also asked, "Sir, do we still have hope? Can we, like Ista, regain our lost strength?"
Da Fei’s eyebrow twitched; there was no need to say it. If she could ask this, it must mean they’ve made progress. They were no longer the naive fools brainwashed at the beginning.
Da Fei nodded, "There’s hope! I’ve almost pinpointed our enemy; what we need now is to gather strength to defeat him, so everyone, don’t give up."
The dancers all said, "Thank you, Lord City Lord!"
Wow, they’ve all awakened! Very good, come on, share the joy with your brother! Hm, wait! Seeing their thin sexy clothes, Da Fei suddenly remembered that they were going to the North Pole later. Wouldn’t this freeze them?
Luckily, among the miscellaneous goods transported this time, there were many kinds of work clothes. So, quickly seize them and give them to them to wear. My goodness, usually men can’t wait to strip women of their clothes, but where can you find such an upright national good husband like me who actively dresses women and cares for their warmth?
Leaving the bar, Da Fei went to the captain’s room to find Anlicia. At this time, Anlicia did not disappoint him; she was gnashing her teeth while flipping through yet another book.
Da Fei couldn’t help but feel gratified, "So you’ve been reading all along; I thought you went out to play again."
Anlicia scoffed, "There’s no place to play here, so I’d rather read, but I’m reading with a critical eye. This book is complete nonsense. The battle of Nicholas VI at Holy Helmet Valley clearly was because he fell into the Beastman’s trap. If it weren’t for our Elf Kingdom sending troops to save him, he’d be doomed. This ridiculous book claims it was a do-or-die battle that turned the tide without even mentioning how our elves saved him. How thick-faced is that?"
Da Fei couldn’t help but be taken aback, "Is that so?"
Anlicia gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Do you think, with an elf’s lifespan and memory, they could be mistaken? Also, even Catherine noticed something. In the battle between the Lionheart Empire’s navy and Pirate King IV, the story passed down among the pirates is that Pirate King captured the Empire’s general but didn’t want to cause trouble, so he let the general go back. But in the book, it became that the general successfully drove off the pirates! How thick-skinned can they be?"
Da Fei’s jaw dropped! Should I trust history books or my beautiful wife?
Anlicia sighed, "I finally understand why this book can only be circulated within the Royal Family. They can’t even face publishing it publicly—"
At that, Anlicia directly threw the book aside, "In short, it’s just a self-aggrandizing Divine Book. Wanting to gain military strategy improvement from these series of books? I think it’s impossible! Anyway, I didn’t gain any improvement. You can see if Selvia and Elena find any improvement after carefully reading it."
Da Fei was stunned on the spot! No way! This was a restricted internal read entrusted to me by the Duke like a treasure, how can there be no improvement? Then again, when I was stuck on Newbie Island, I found a notebook in Selvia’s father’s bag. Just flipping a few pages gave me 1000 experience points, and I’ve turned dozens of pages of this first volume without a bit of experience. That’s not normal!
Da Fei immediately teleported to the Jade Dragon. At this moment, Selvia, Elena, and Catherine were gathered in the captain’s room on the Jade Dragon, reading and having a study meeting together.
Good! This is the makings for academic pursuit! Da Fei couldn’t help praising, "Everyone, you’ve been working hard on your studies. Any insights?"
Catherine shook her head and sighed, "Anyway, I’m the slowest reader, so I have Miss Selvia read to me, and I didn’t gain any insights."
Elena also sighed, "I didn’t gain any insights either, maybe because I didn’t start reading from the first book? Miss Selvia started from the first one and now she’s on the fifth."
Selvia shook her head with a serious expression and said, "Miss Anlicia mentioned this book in the past few days, very superficially, and even inaccurately. I read five books and didn’t gain any insights."
Da Fei eagerly asked, "What about experience points?"
Selvia frowned and said, "They’re given after finishing each book, but not much. I wonder if I’ll gain more after I finish all nine books?"
Da Fei nodded, "Okay, let’s try to finish all nine books in the next couple of days."
With that, Da Fei’s good mood was finally dampened. But as a player, you have to believe one thing: a high-level NPC like the Duke definitely has depth. How could such a thick tome be less valuable than the notes we found back on Newbie Island? Such bizarre happenings are obviously challenges for players, and the knowledge from the Divine Book isn’t given for simply idling.
Oh right, apparently the Duke advised reading the book multiple times. Fine, I’ll read it multiple times, starting from the first book. So, Da Fei joined the ladies’ study session, forcing himself to carefully go through every word despite the pain.
Then, as he read, Da Fei’s eyes began to blur, and after some unknown time, he was startled awake by a system prompt.
——System Prompt: You have finished reading the first volume of "Lionheart Empire’s War History." You gain +100,000 experience.
100,000 experience! Holy cow, they really only gave a bit of experience, and it’s not a lot. Definitely has depth, never mind, on to the second book.
Wait, no, that’s not right! Since the Divine Book is deep and the knowledge isn’t handed to players easily, reading it multiple times just means idling for several more days, which doesn’t seem difficult? Also, Anlicia plainly pointed out the historical inaccuracies in the book, so what use is reading something wrong multiple times?
Which means, there must be something correct to cross-reference it with!
Da Fei suddenly realized, "I get it, this book can’t be read like this, it needs to be cross-referenced with accurate historical records!"
The ladies were surprised, "We don’t have any other books!"
"If we don’t have any, then borrow some!" Da Fei’s thoughts became clear instantly, "You guys keep reading, I’ll go find Anlicia!"
So, leaving behind the first volume he finished, Da Fei hurriedly returned to the captain’s room of the Radiant Wings, where Anlicia was flipping through the books in boredom.
Da Fei took out the Nightmare Crystal and smiled, "Anlicia, I heard you’re a professor? You should be able to borrow correct historical books recorded by elves from the academy, right? Can I trouble you to make a trip back to the city?"
Seeing the crystal, Anlicia’s eyes lit up and she grabbed it, "Sure, let me play with it!"
Hahaha, always thinking of playing! But wait! Da Fei took out the Demon God’s wig, "Wear this too!"
Anlicia accepted it all with a laugh, "Interesting! Actually, I’ve also come to understand, even the Elf Clan’s history might not fully record some of the darker aspects, while these might be recorded by neighboring or rival countries. Only by combining both parts of the history can we find the true facts, and only by knowing the facts can we fully understand the strategies of the time and gain true insights!"
Da Fei was thrilled, "Exactly, that’s what I mean!"
"Alright, I’m off!" A flash of Demon Light, and with the wig on, Anlicia instantly turned into a white-haired elf beauty, the Hero Aura at her feet and the "Da Fei’s Vice Hero Anlicia" above her head disappearing immediately!
Oh yeah! That’s the effect we want! Always having that Forging Steel Hand going in and out, anyone with a bit of imagination would find it odd, so now I’m switching it up, a genuine NPC, hahaha!
Da Fei excitedly asked, "Can you change your clothes too? Change into something no one’s ever seen?"
Anlicia laughed heartily, "No problem, by the way, didn’t the City Lord have the dancers change outfits? Their costumes are really beautiful, so I’ll take advantage of this disguise opportunity to borrow one just to try it on!" Then she rushed out hastily.
Oh my god! You lack the bust and the curves, what’s the point of wearing a dancer’s outfit? But as long as you dare to wear it, I dare to admire it!
In any case, this matter seems to have made some headway, now it’s just waiting for Anlicia’s news.
