Saint-Martin looked enthusiastic as soon as he came up: "Hey, dear Richard, it's a pleasure to see you again after such a long time." Although I know very well that as long as you come to me, there will be nothing good for you. Say, what's the requirement this time?"

"I need information about the dark side of the world. Richard said bluntly.

St. Martin's smile froze suddenly, and then he said in a bit of anger: "Do you really think I am omnipotent?"

"Isn't it not uncommon to find surprises in the church's treasury?"

St. Martin snorted and said, "But it must be possible to find it! I am not like you, I have faith! Do you know what faith means? Faith is the most sacred and inviolable thing! My faith is light, so anything related to the dark side of the world will not be touched." Therefore, there can be nothing in the Church's vaults that has anything to do with the dark side of the world. ”

Richard was a little disappointed. If St. Martin didn't know, then there was only one way to the Millennial Empire.

San Martin calmed down a little and asked, "Why do you suddenly ask about the dark side of the world? As far as I know, it's just a legend, and there is no evidence that the dark side of the world really exists." ”

Richard said: "I have every reason to believe that my teacher, Helen Sue, is lost on the dark side of the world. But her access to the dark side of the world was closed, so I wanted to find a new way to get to the dark side of the world. ”

Martin was taken aback: "Are you crazy? We are all beings on the light side, if we go to the dark side, it will be like a water elemental creature entering the fire element plane! Don't say whether you can enter it or not, even if you go in, you won't live long!"

"Help me figure it out. Richard paid no heed to St. Martin's advice.

"How can I do it?" said Martin, somewhat irritated, as he spun around in place like an ant on a hot pan.

"I owe you a favor. Richard added.

Martin waved his hand vigorously and said angrily: "Go! You will definitely go to the dark side of the world and never return, this favor can be of use when the time comes! Not to mention that you owe me less favors?"

Martin had a rare expletive, and beyond his bad attitude, Richard sensed that he was not so well hidden. Richard sighed inwardly, but still looked at Martin with a calm face.

St. Martin didn't know how many times he turned, and then he made up his mind and said, "Okay! I'll help you figure it out, but don't get your hopes up." There are fragmented records about the dark side of the world, so you'd better go to the Millennium Empire and figure it out. I once saw a piece of history where it was said that during the heyday of the Elven Empire, a large-scale exploration of the dark side of the world was organized. So there may be the answers you need on the Azure Continent. But you know, the High Elves are insane, and the first thing they do when they see a life that isn't of their own kind is to attack. ”

"Cangqing Continent? Okay, I see. ”

Martin's expression suddenly became very exciting, and he almost yelled at Richard: "Isn't what I mean clear enough? I'm talking about the Millennium Empire, not the Azure Continent! Those High Elves are already crazy, and it's impossible for you to get any information about the dark side of the world from them! They don't need to exchange anything with you at all!"

Richard replied lightly: "If they don't, I'll find a way to make them will!" But I promise you that I'll try it at the Millennium Empire first." If I get the answer, I won't venture to the Azure Continent. ”

Martin's face looked a little better, and he snorted and said, "What's the matter? Look at your appearance, you haven't finished your words at all!"

Richard smiled and said, "Indeed, I want to challenge the Pope in the near future. ”

"Are you really crazy?" St. Martin looked at Richard in confusion.

Richard shook his head and said, "I just want to solve all the troubles as much as possible before leaving." And challenging the Pope was able to test some of my conjectures. ”

St. Martin pondered for a moment and said, "But I don't think this challenge is necessary. And I haven't finalized the old guy's true purpose, nor have I figured out whether he's a friend or foe. As a last resort, I don't want to turn him into a real enemy. Plus, he's dangerous. ”

Richard frowned, "I'm also dangerous. ”

Martin spread his hands a little helplessly, and said, "Well, I can arrange for you to meet." There's no need to fight, you can meet and chat. ”

Richard thought for a moment and said, "Yes." ”

Martin sighed and said, "I've heard that you just won the battle against Her Majesty the Indefinite Empress. But just because you're able to restrain her doesn't mean you're just as strong as others. At least I have a gut feeling that the old thing of the Pope might be able to restrain you. You can meet him and have a good chat. In addition, you are also in a lot of trouble, so it is better to be more prepared, there is no need to make enemies on all sides. ”

Richard nodded in agreement, and then cut off communication with St. Martin.

The light of the magic array gradually dimmed, and Richard stood quietly, thinking. When Martin said the last paragraph, he had a sudden premonition that he might soon encounter an unavoidable crisis, and that he would have to use the power of divine charism teleportation to go to the Dark Realm.

At that time, Quicksand had specifically pointed out that Richard could only go to the Dark Realm if he defeated the Pope. There may be a deep meaning in this. In any case, you will not understand until you have fought with the Pope.

After returning to the study, Richard thought silently, still a little unwilling, so he set off for the Royal Mage Society.

The collection of books in the Mage Guild is the richest in all of Norland, comparable to the palace vaults. It's just that the palace was almost completely destroyed in the battle between Richard and Wuding, and because it was a collision of the two rules of order and chaos, even the protective circle of the secret vault that could resist the ninth-level magic was not spared, and it was annihilated. This was a loss that Richard did not expect.

The elder Thor generously agreed to Richard's request and opened the library to him. Of course, he also had a 'small' request, which was to buy a fifth-order magic weapon from Richard.

The price Thor offered was not low, but if the Magic Arm appeared at auction, it might be more than that. Richard agreed to Thor's terms, but put the payment for the build a year later. Old Thor didn't care about the time, and was overjoyed to personally send Richard to the library.

Richard spent a whole day in the library, taking a quick look at the more than a thousand precious books that were kept secret here. Unsurprisingly, there is very little written about the dark side of the world, and the few narratives that are left are vague.

Richard read it as more of a fantasy and speculation than the writings of people who had actually been to the dark side of the world.

Eventually, Richard walked out of the Mage Guild library disappointed. If you can't find any knowledge about the dark side of the world here, then there probably won't be one in the entire Holy Alliance.

Back in his study, Richard's eyes fell on the Millennial Empire. It seems that he has to run the thousand-year empire once. In ancient times, the Elven Empire once explored the dark side of the world, so in the thousand-year-old empire that inherited more than half of the Elven Empire's heritage, there may be records about the dark side of the world.

Richard then summoned in a squire mage and asked him to post a message: The Akmund family will buy a magical fleet, and the request is to be able to cross the ocean and reach the Azure Continent!

Such a fleet would consist of at least five magical giant ships, and the total value would be around ten top-level sacrifices. Richard was ready to buy it outright, and if he couldn't buy it, he would order a brand new magic ship from the Dragon-Blood Gnomes.

If there is still no information about the dark side of the world in the Millennium Empire, Richard plans to go to the Azure Continent to find the descendants of the High Elves.

After arranging the acquisition of the magic fleet, Richard entered the StarClan library and continued to read the unsealed tome. The moment he walked into the library, Richard suddenly thought, could the ancient Star Clan be inferior to the elven empire of Norland, and have no knowledge about the dark side of the world?

He immediately began to examine the books that had not yet been unsealed. Looking at it, Richard suddenly stopped in front of a stone carved with mysterious patterns.

This stone is condensed by the power of the Chaos Divine Language, and it records the results of the ancient Star Clan's people exploring the dark side of the world!

Richard was amazed and delighted. Naturally, the joy is that there is news about the dark side of the world, and the surprise is the conditions needed to unseal this stone. This stone was placed inside the fifth level of the protective shield, second only to the tallest ball of light. This level is a full two levels higher than the books that Su Helen can currently read!

It takes level 30 to unlock the fourth-level book, and Richard estimates that it may take him to reach level 33 to unlock the mysteries on this stone! This means that the rules contained in this stone book are too strong, and you must have level 33 strength to be able to read this book.

And this is also a hint, which means that the ancient star clan believes that only those who have reached level 33 or above are eligible to go to the dark side of the world to explore.

After coming to this conclusion, Richard stood quietly for a long time, and then left the library.

At this moment, the anxiety in Richard's heart had disappeared, replaced by absolute sanity and coldness. He now finally has a general understanding of the danger of the dark side of the world, and he also knows that with his current strength, rushing to the dark side of the world will not only not save Su Hailun, but it is also very likely that he will also put himself in it.

Reason told Richard that the best thing to do now was to find a way to safely enter the dark side of the world, and raise one's power to the point where he could explore the dark side of the world in relative safety, and then consider entering the dark side of the world.

Richard's only hope now is that the scene that the old dragon showed him is right, and Su Helen is just sleeping and drifting in the void, not that she has been killed and destroyed.

Richard then sent a message to Mex, asking her to ask Prince Tumen if he would have a chance to look through the royal family and his personal collection for information about the dark side of the world.
