As the most prosperous city in the entire Northern Continent, in addition to being the second central city in Magnum, Victoria also has a world-famous title - the Pearl of the Northern Continent.
This emerging city has had an extremely bright future since its birth. Victoria not only has the largest Yongen Freeze Port in the entire northern continent, but also has the world's second-ranked Hex Flight Port. The various benefits brought by these two ports account for almost 30% of the national income of the Magnum Kingdom, and the hidden benefits they bring are countless. Kingdoms all over the world are coveted by these two ports. Incomparable, it can be called a cornucopia of existence.
But what surprises outsiders is that even though these two ports are so important and have brought countless wealth and civilization to the entire city-state, they cannot truly represent the city-state.
“Victoria is a living city.”
Zhou Li looked at the huge city wall that was getting closer, with a little nostalgia in his eyes, "The Victoria Grand Library is the heart of this city."
"well?"
Eluma's beautiful eyes were looking forward to it. The bustling scenery made her feel the beauty of the fireworks. After hearing Zhou Li's words, she turned her head, faced Zhou Li and asked curiously: "What heart? Is it a library?"
"Have I never told you about it?"
Zhou Li adjusted the armrest so that his appearance was hidden in the darkness, and then said to Eluma: "The city of Victoria has its own consciousness, or in other words, has a complete life."
"Isn't that a rumor?"
At this time, Linghai's voice suddenly came from the roof of the car, "This rumor was still very popular twenty years ago, but then it disappeared. Maybe because it was too outrageous, no one talked about it anymore."
"Some rumors, once they become true, can no longer be spread."
Zhou Li shook his head and said calmly: "Actually, if you reach the platinum level, your union will tell you the secrets of this city-state, and will also send commissioners to take you to the Great Library. Register your name in the Book of Ignorance and let the Queen know you."
"Wait, what you said..."
Eluma was immediately confused. Although she had known most of the world through a book, she had never seen even a trace of what Zhou Li said in that book. Not to mention Linghai in the car. She was a small and silvery girl, and her eyes were filled with mosquito repellent incense, and her brain was in chaos.
"What is the Book of Ignorance...and who is the Queen? Isn't the Magnum Kingdom a parliamentary system?"
"It seems that the person behind you has declined a lot."
Hearing Ling Hai's confused tone, Zhou Li smiled without leaving any trace, and then he leaned on the sofa with a leisurely look. "Anyway, you will learn this knowledge from the void in the future. No one can escape the curse of knowledge. It doesn't hurt to tell you in advance."
"First of all, there are three books in this world. These three books form the rules of the world and are also the cornerstones of civilization. Whether they are humans, elves, dwarves, giants or those terrifying beasts without roots, they all originated from these three books. This original book.”
Zhou Li stretched out his hand, made the sign of three, and then said to the omnipresent Linghai: "These three books are the book of omniscience and omnipotence, the book of partial knowledge, and the book of ignorance and incomprehension."
Linghai fell silent, she was a little confused, and the voice in the void beside her ears was also a little confused. Before Linghai could recover, Zhou Li continued:
"These three books touch upon and involve too many things. I will tell you about them when I have time."
After successfully arousing Linghai's interest, Zhou Li coughed and looked away from the car: "I will tell you about the Queen later."
Before Zhou Li could leave, the coachman knocked on the door panel and said to everyone in the car: "Everyone, Victoria is here."
After hearing the coachman's words, Zhou Li responded. Then he opened the car door and took Eluma out of the carriage.
"Wow~"
Eluma looked at the towering, endless Forbidden Demon Stone wall in front of her and sighed: "It's pretty average."
"Nonsense." Zhou Li on the side flicked Eluma's forehead angrily, "What is your identity? Can this mortal thing compare to what you have seen?"
"Hey~"
Eluma stuck out her tongue slightly naughtily, then she put her hands behind her back and followed Zhou Li unsteadily. For some reason, they were not prepared to take a carriage into the city. Zhou Li asked the coachman to park the carriage at the stronghold of the Zisha Chamber of Commerce, and he and Eluma walked into the city.
Because neither of them had registered with the guild, and Zhou Li was not prepared to reveal his identity as a hero, the two could only queue up to enter the city and apply for a temporary certificate.
"Oh, no."
After queuing up smoothly and applying for documents, the two walked to Victoria Center. Zhou Li looked at the simple certificate in his hand and sighed with a hint of regret. Eluma, who was in a curious mood, came over and asked curiously:
"Zhou Li, Zhou Li, Zhou Li, why are you sighing?"
"Just shout once, I can hear you." Zhou Li laughed and helplessly pushed away Eluma's head, and then said with great pity: "I haven't met that kind of snobby guard or trouble-provoking hooligan. The city is not very happy."
"How can it be?"
Linghai walked over and glanced at Zhou Li briefly, "The guards here are all certified. They have been trained for at least three months in advance. Their etiquette is several times better than that of most noble guards."
"Oh, what a pity."
Zhou Li sighed, and Ling Hai on the side noticed that after entering Victoria City, Zhou Li's temperament suddenly began to waver. Although Zhou Li could joke before and had quite a lot of expressions on his face, and would sometimes be intermittently ill, you could still see the deep composure beneath that unattractive face.
But after everyone entered the city-state, Zhou Li quickly became a pure criminal, and the expression on his face began to become wanton. This surprised Linghai secretly. She knew that Zhou Li must have his reasons for doing this. After observing it for the past few months, Linghai knew that even if Zhou Li suddenly started singing one day while going to the toilet, he was not sure who he was thinking about.
"Miss Linghai, do you know that there are some dandy boys with brain problems around here? I'll talk to them about some business."
Zhou Li turned his head, his harmless face full of expectation. However, Linghai did not waver at all. He shook his head and said: "No, not at all. Retarded dandies will be exiled to other places by their families to enjoy happiness. In such a center of power, anyone who lacks any brain will be torn apart by others." broken."
"Tsk."
Zhou Li's face suddenly darkened, and it could be seen that he was very angry about this.

"Is he a brave man?"
In the waiting room of the Brave Guild, the old man known as the vice-president looked at the scenery outside the window with his hands behind his back. Behind him was a tall and thin man, holding a mirror and staring at the vice president's back.
"What are you asking me to do?"
The vice-president turned back with a smile, and his voice was extremely kind: "You, the majestic president of the Shadow Guild, a god-given assassin, came to ask me about an old man with silver?"
"Do you think I don't know?!"
The tall and lanky man slammed the table and said through gritted teeth: "The evil tricks used by that boy Chonghuang, no one or any means can touch anything related to the brave. You are the only descendants left by that boy. Hands, you must have a way to find out whether this person is a brave man or not!"
"oh?"
The corners of the old man's mouth raised slightly, with a slight smile in his tone: "So what if it is? So what if it's not? This has nothing to do with us. They didn't come to us. How impolite would it be for us to investigate the other party rashly?"
"Not polite ass!"
The tall and lanky man's expression was a little distorted, "I told you that there must be something wrong with the investigation mission you arranged for that little girl. I didn't expect you to be able to bring the brave man and her together. How much do you like this little girl!"
"What does it have to do with me?"
The old man spread his hands innocently, "She just happened to receive that task. I didn't do anything. Don't slander me."
"you you you……"
The tall and thin man pointed at the old man, too angry to speak. After a while, he bitterly took the mirror into his arms and left the guild after leaving a few words: "If we continue like this, when disaster strikes and they come back, we still haven't found any answers. Who is it?" They can’t even survive!”
The old man didn't speak, just watched the man's leaving figure. After a long time, the sun gradually set, darkness enveloped the old man's face, and twisted words emerged from the deep wrinkles. The old man narrowed his eyes and his voice was a little distorted.
"I want to know too..."
It's obviously a void of advanced creatures, why on earth would it invade us.
