"Take off your equipment, hand over all your money, and you can leave here safely."
The leading masked man said in a threatening tone: "Otherwise, I will cut off your hands and feet!"
"So fierce!"
The furious Dragon King took a step forward and said contemptuously: "Today, I want to see how you can chop off my hands and feet."
After saying that, he rushed towards the opponent, moving quickly and sweeping the iron rod in his hand!
Bang!
One of the robbers was unable to dodge and was sent flying.
The leading robber reacted quickly and blocked with his sword, but was also shaken back by the Dragon King's huge strength.
His expression changed slightly: "This kid is so strong!"
The Dragon King didn't waste any time and continued to attack fiercely. The leader of the thieves shouted: "Do it! Kill them!"
The bandit behind heard the leader's order and swung his knife to kill Zhang Ze and others.
However, they overestimated their own strength. In front of Zhang Ze and others, they were like kindergarten children fighting with adults, not opponents at all.
Three times, five times and two times, these bandits were easily eliminated, and Zhang Ze and others didn't even lose any blood.
"Say! Who asked you to rob us?" The Dragon King grabbed the bandit leader and shouted loudly.
He moved his lips without emotion and said: "Do you still need to ask about such an obvious thing? It must be the owner of that antique shop. He must have been jealous when he saw that we took away such a valuable set of equipment, so he had a wrong idea. , looking for these bandits to cause trouble for us."
He kicked the robber and asked, "Am I right?"
"That's right! He was the one who asked us to come!"
The robber leader also scolded the antique shop owner in his heart for asking them to deal with such a powerful character. He was simply looking for death!
"Hey! Hand over all the valuable things you have on you, otherwise, I will let him break your hands and feet!"
Little Princess Money poked her head out from behind the Dragon King and said with a ferocious expression.
Those robbers didn't dare to refuse, so they obediently handed over all their money, and everyone got thousands more gold coins in vain.
"Hehe, if we hadn't left here tomorrow, I would have really planned to work with the Dragon King to manage the security of the fortress for that emir!"
The little princess said with a smile while counting the gold coins.
Xiaoniaoyiren said angrily: "There is also the antique shop owner, we can't let him go! Let's go back and settle the score with him!"
The group of people returned the same way, only to find that the antique shop had been closed and the owner was nowhere to be found.
"This guy is so cunning. He must have heard the news and was afraid that we would seek revenge on him, so he escaped early!" Moonlight Bunny said bitterly.
Now that there was no time or energy to hunt down the antique shop owner, everyone told Emil about the matter and asked him to handle it.
The emir promised that he would let the guards of the fortress capture this man and never let him escape.
The interlude ended and everyone rested without talking for a night. Early the next morning, the emir sent camels for Miguel, Zhang Ze and others to help them march in the desert.
However, his kindness was rejected by Zhang Ze, because they had the Dark Dragon King as a means of transportation, which could fly in the sky and did not require a camel.
Farewell to Emil, the Dark Dragon King flew into the blue sky amidst the exclamations of the onlookers, and the group flew into the depths of the Sea of Sand against the scorching sun.
Flying at a high altitude, with cold wind blowing in front of you, and not being affected by the high temperature on the ground, this desert trip is quite pleasant.
If it were a camel walking in the desert, it would be a lot worse.
But this desert was too big, and the Dark Dragon King flew for more than five hours without reaching its destination.
Judging from the small map in the upper right corner of the field of vision, they are still far away from their destination. At the current speed, they may have to fly for a day and a night!
In addition, the Dark Dragon King also needed to rest, so everyone found a place with a little shade from the sun to stop to eat, rest and replenish their physical strength.
Seeing that Liu Yueying and Zhang Feng were unbearably hot, Snow Girl took the initiative to condense ice cubes for them to cool down. The girls were so happy that they pressed their faces against the ice cubes and thanked them repeatedly.
Only Yiye Zhiqiu had a grimace on his face. He saw that Yuki-onna's body had become weak due to the exertion of her energy to form ice cubes. He was heartbroken and he quickly pulled Yuki-onna to a shady place to let her rest.
After everyone rested, they set off on the road again, flying until the sky was full of stars and moon before stopping to rest.
"Look at the map. We should arrive at Zorn's library before noon tomorrow."
Surrounding the bonfire, Yiye Zhiqiu said: "However, the treasure hunter said that whether you can enter the library depends on luck..."
Zorn's library has been set up with a magic barrier, and outsiders cannot enter if they don't know the method.
Those treasure hunters also investigated for a long time before they found out the method, which was to pass "Zorn's test."
There is a smooth stone wall outside the library, and Zorn left a "reflection" on it. Only by answering the reflection question correctly can you enter the library.
"The questions asked by Zorn's reflection are random every time. If you get the answer wrong, you have to wait for twenty-four hours. It's really troublesome!" The irritable Dragon King scratched his head with a depressed expression: "Why design so many mechanisms? It’s better to have a BOSS to guard the gate and just beat him and that’s it!”
Shandao Bubu smiled and said jokingly: "Just to deal with a violent maniac like you."
"Am I a violent maniac? You are still a cold-blooded animal!" Dragon King counterattacked.
Ever since the little princess Qian established her relationship with the hot-tempered Dragon King, the number of quarrels between the two has become less frequent. Now, they often quarrel with the Dragon King, who is not sentimental but has a knife.
"I think the question about Zorn's reflection shouldn't be too difficult." Sky said melancholy: "Since those treasure hunters can answer it correctly, we should have no problem too."
"Besides, we also have Miguel. He is an archangel and should know everything."
Miguel smiled and shook his head: "No, you are wrong."
"Zorn is a wise man. His wisdom even impresses the gods, let alone us angels."
"However, I will do my best to help you if I know the answer."
Liu Yueying suddenly looked around. She stood up and said expressionlessly: "There seems to be some movement around. You stay here and I will go out and take a look."
Zhang Ze didn't trust her to go alone, so he got up and left.
The two of them walked a few hundred meters away, and the sound became louder and louder. It was the sound of some kind of animal crawling, and it was going very fast.
Not long after, several giant desert scorpions appeared in front of them.
"These scorpions are just big and may be poisonous, but nothing else." Liu Yueying drew out her sword and said to Zhang Ze, "I can do it myself."
Zhang Ze observed it and found that it was indeed what Liu Yueying said, and the number of desert scorpions was not large. With Liu Yueying's strength, there was no problem at all, so he nodded and said: "Then be careful."
Liu Yueying dodged and rushed to the opposite side. After a flash of swords and swords, she returned to where she was with a puzzled expression on her face.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Ze asked curiously.
"...These scorpions seem to have been dead for a long time." Liu Yueying looked at the foul-smelling black juice on the weapon and said: "I pierced their bodies, but they can still move. In the end, I cut them into pieces. The solution, I guess, is the necromancer behind it?"
Zhang Ze nodded: "Besides him, no one should be able to control the undead."
He held his chin and muttered: "It seems that this guy has been following us. He probably knows that we have entered the desert. Maybe we can meet him tomorrow!"
"It seems that there is another fierce battle!"
…
The next day, everyone rode the Dark Dragon King and flew all the way, and finally arrived at their destination - a valley.
This valley is empty, there is nothing, and there is no so-called library at all.
However, at the end of the valley, there is a huge stone wall more than ten meters high. The surface of the stone wall is so smooth that it can almost be used as a mirror.
"Is this the stone wall that the treasure hunter was talking about?"
Everyone stood in front of the stone wall. Moonlight Rabbit looked up and down and asked curiously: "Where is Zorn's reflection?"
"Don't worry, look carefully at the stone wall." Miguel pointed at the stone wall and said, "He is already standing among us."
Everyone took a closer look, and sure enough, among them there was an old man with white hair and beard, looking at them with a smile.
Everyone was startled and looked around, but there was no old man there?
But looking at the stone wall, the old man was clearly standing among them, looking extremely strange.
"Isn't this too permeable?" The little princess felt her hair standing on end. Fortunately it was daytime, otherwise she would have screamed in fright.
Miguel took a step forward, bowed deeply to Zorn's reflection, and said: "Ancient prophet, human sage, Lord Zorn, hello, I am Archangel Miguel, we want to enter your library, I hope you can let me go."
"Ah, an angel has descended into the mortal world... It seems that the God of Destruction is ready to move again?"
Zorn's reflection said calmly: "If I were here, I would definitely let you in, but my duty is to guard the library, so I'm sorry, but I have to follow the rules."
"Answer the question?" Miguel nodded, "We abide by the rules, please ask questions."
Zorn looked at everyone in his reflection and said slowly: "Excuse me, what is the most precious thing in the world?"
Everyone fell into deep thought after listening. The question was very vague, so it must not be something superficial like gold and silver.
"I see!"
The little princess of money was the first to speak. She said excitedly: "It's happiness!"
"If I am richer than others and live better than others, I will feel happy. Happiness is the most precious!"
Zorn's reflection shook his head slightly: "No, your happiness is based on the poverty of others. This is not precious, but rather despicable."
"Could it be friendship?" the giant asked.
"Friendship is certainly precious, but it is not the most precious." Zorn still shook his head.
Xiaoniaoyiren took over the conversation: "That's family affection or love! Anyway, it must be one of them!"
"It's still wrong." Zorn reflected: "Family and love will eventually disappear with death, it will not last forever."
Moonlight Bunny asked: "Is it life? Since you said everything will disappear with death, then life is the most precious."
"I'm sorry, kid." Zorn reflected and said, "Life cannot escape the reincarnation of death. Its preciousness has a time limit, so your answer is incorrect."
He thought for a while without moving the knife, and said: "Is it freedom? I remember a famous saying: 'Life is precious, love is more valuable, if you are free, you can throw away both'..."
"Ah, freedom..." Zorn's reflection sighed: "It is something that countless people long for. It is indeed precious, but it is still not the right answer."
"It's so mysterious!" The irritable Dragon King scratched his head and scratched his head: "What is the answer?"
Zhang Feng quietly asked Miguel: "Archangel, do you know the answer?"
"I'm sorry, the answers I know have been told by you all, and the results are wrong." Miguel shook his head helplessly.
Tian Tian's melancholy asked weakly: "I guess it's something you can't get, or something you've lost, right? Only in this way does it seem precious."
"It's infinitely close to the correct answer, but unfortunately, it's not."
Hearing Zorn's reflection's denial, a light suddenly flashed in Zhang Ze's mind. He thought of Liu Yueying, Zhang Yiliu, and all the companions around him...
"It's what we have now." Zhang Ze and Liu Yueying said in unison. Then they were stunned, then looked at each other and smiled, holding hands together.
Zorn's reflection showed a happy smile: "Congratulations, you got the answer right!"
"Whether it's friendship, love, or happiness and freedom, only what you have now is the most precious. Don't wait until you lose it before you regret it."
His words can be regarded as expressing the true meaning of life, and everyone nodded silently, feeling the same.
brush!
The stone wall suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, and then a huge golden shadow door appeared on it. Zorn's reflection opened the door for everyone in person and said loudly: "You have passed the test and can enter my library. I hope you can find yourself." Want to find the answers.”
Everyone walked through one after another and entered a huge dark space.
There are platforms of different shapes floating here, with tall bookshelves placed on the platforms, and countless ancient books listed on them.
Zhang Ze looked around and saw that there were countless such platforms, connected by floating stairs.
These stairs defy scientific theory and, like the Penrose ladder, look downright bizarre.
"No, with so many books, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. When are we going to find it?" Little Princess Money asked in surprise, her eyes widening.
Miguel looked to the side, and there was a diamond-shaped purple crystal floating there, giving off a faint light from time to time.
He walked over and touched the crystal with one hand, and lines of obscure fonts floated on it.
"What does it say on this?"
Everyone gathered around curiously and listened to Miguel's explanation: "It's an ancient divine text, a text invented by the Nephalem... Fortunately, I can understand it. Well, I understand. All the books here are recorded in this crystal." , we can retrieve it through it.”
"Now let me search for the specific location of [Book of Zorn]..."
After a moment, a line of font appeared on the purple crystal again. Miguel nodded and said: "Found it, on the 744th platform."
