If there is insufficient information, or sources of intelligence, no matter how long you live, your knowledge will not be too profound. For example, like Alice, although she has lived for more than a hundred years, but walking back and forth in the area of Tonggu City, at most she can only learn about this area. Even if you know how to read and write, you can read books, but in this world dominated by magic, the speed of knowledge transmission is not as fast as that of Earth's Western Middle Ages.
Alice, who has lived for more than a hundred years, will definitely not have more than twenty books on knowledge and knowledge. It's not that Alice doesn't like reading books, but that there are no books to read at all. She has collected all the books she can.
In this world, except for a few organizations that are open to knowledge, most organizations and forces keep knowledge secret. People who are not in this organization or force have no way to access the knowledge they have. Even if you are one of your own people, if you don't have enough contribution or status, you won't be able to access important or core knowledge.
The lack of information sources and the extremely slow speed of knowledge dissemination have caused most people in this world to know a lot of information that they should know, but they don't know it at all.
For example, after the legendary level of the elves, they must return to the mother tree. Not to mention human beings, even most elves don't know about this, but fortunately they still have an instinct of 'falling leaves return to their roots' at work.
The reason why Beta knew this information was nothing more than players researched it out and then posted it on the forum. Among the players, there are occupations that specialize in exploration and digging. Although the combat power is not very strong, the important thing is that they are omnipotent in climbing mountains and wading in water, and they also have the talent of "no matter what creature, remove the head and eat it".
This group of players is full of curiosity about all kinds of 'information', and they do it with great interest in map development, historical investigation, biological research, and even magic decryption.
Not only did they sneak into the royal tomb of the elves, they even combined history, biological evolution and other clues to come to a conclusion... the beautiful elves and the ugly trolls are actually close relatives, they share a common ancestor .
As soon as this conclusion came out, all players were stunned. And the players are a group that can't hide their affairs. As a result, the aborigines all over the world soon knew about it. Suddenly, the elves became the object of jokes of all races.
The elves are naturally very angry. They dare not do anything to the entire Golden Sons group. After all, the Golden Sons are immortal. If they offend the entire Golden Sons group, it will be thankless after all. So they vented all their anger on the player who exposed the news.
It's still the same sentence, the players don't like to hide things, and the elves know about that player. The elf royal family sent a special force to hunt him down for more than a year. Killed the player from level eleven to level six. Then it was said that they wanted to kill the golden son until they left the main plane.
It's just that things are always reversed. Originally, the majority of players were watching this matter, but the arrogant attitude of the elves suddenly angered many players. Then many players spontaneously helped this player resist the pursuit of the elves.
After paying the lives of several master-level powerhouses and a legendary powerhouse, the elves gave up, and the hunting troops retreated back to the elf forest without a sound.
Beta and Alice told a lot of secrets about the elves, and the latter listened with wide-eyed eyes almost the whole time. She never thought that there are so many interesting and dirty things in the elves.
Not long after, Shirley and others came back from shopping. In essence, shopping was just incidental. Their real purpose was to go outside to see if they could find out about Amanda.
Following them back was a middle-aged man who looked like a mercenary.
The man saluted as soon as he entered the door, and said politely: "I am the guard of the Merchant Union, Tony. The union leader invites you to come over. I have something important to discuss with you."
"The president of the Merchant Guild... is generally a commoner. Even if he has a noble status, he is not very high." Beta was a little strange: "It stands to reason that he should come to see me, not me."
The guard smiled slightly: "The president said that you might like to hear about Amanda."
Beta's face straightened, and then there was some coldness in his tone: "Time, place!"
"At eight o'clock tonight, the president of the Merchant Labor Union is waiting for your Excellency."
After the mercenary left, Xue Li said: "Not long after we left, this mercenary came to us and said that he wanted to see you on something important."
"Obviously, the other party knew about us as soon as we entered the city." Beta sat down and said: "The other party is waiting for us to come to the door, and it seems that they are already prepared. Their target is not Amanda at all, but us. Me, to be precise."
Shirley was a little worried: "People with such good intelligence must know your identity, but they still dare to arrest Amanda and lure you into the bait. It seems that they are very confident and can restrain you."
"Indeed, the visitor is not good." Beta thought for a while: "But for this matter, ask our allies, there may be some clues."
Joan flew out of the window, and about half an hour later, she flew back with a piece of letter paper. Beta opened it, looked at it for a while, and then said: "Gejir said in it that he didn't know the specific situation, only that there was a strong foreign force stationed in the Merchant Union, and many nobles wanted to get in to see what was going on. It's one thing, but it ended up being a disadvantage. He advised us to leave, because the other party is extremely difficult to mess with."
After Beta finished speaking, she pointed her finger, and a small blue flame ignited on her fingertips, burning the letter into fly ashes.
"So what are you going to do?" Shirley asked.
Beta thought for a while and said, "Of course I have to go to the banquet."
Emma shook her head and objected, "For a businessman, it's not worth it."
Emma’s face was full of worry. Beta said with a smile: "Amanda is indeed a businessman, but she is not only my subordinate, but also my friend. I have to go and see what's going on."
Alice said from the side: "I don't think you need to be too scared. The three of you are masters, plus us, the summoner. We dare to break into the desert palace, but we are afraid of this small city."
Emma shook her head: "But I always feel a little uneasy, as if something terrible is entrenched in this city."
Shirley also nodded: "I feel it too, I feel a little bored."
"We have to go." Beta patted the table to set the tone: "But we must also be prepared, lest the other party set a trap, and we have no way to deal with it."
That night, Beta brought Shirley to the Merchant Union. As soon as they arrived at the door, the mercenary who appeared at noon came out to guide the two of them.
The Merchant Union has a lot of money, and there are luxurious decorations everywhere. The decorations are mainly golden. Although it is filled with the taste of nouveau riche, I have to admit that the interior decoration can really give people a shocking feeling.
Go up to the second floor, enter the largest room, and then see Amanda sitting on a chair, and beside her, there is a middle-aged man sitting.
Amanda showed a wry smile when she saw Beta. The middle-aged man stood up, saluted and said, "I am the president of the Merchant Union, Douglas. I am also Amanda's father."
Amanda was even more ashamed, and then gave her father a hard look.
"What's going on, Amanda." Beta looked at the girl opposite her.
Shirley has been silent all the time, in fact, she has been silent since she entered here.
Douglas coughed lightly: "Please don't blame my daughter, I actually did this. The reason why I used this method is because my master wants to see you."
"If he really has something to do, he should come to see me himself." Beta's tone became colder.
At this time, a pleasant girl's voice came out from the side: "That's because I haven't been able to find you, you really love to mess around in the world, Beta."
This girl's voice was very familiar, and Beta was startled. Looking to the right, she saw a little girl with fiery red hair coming out of the inner room at the back of the house.
The girl's hair is beautiful and bright, it looks like a burning flame.
Beta stayed for a few seconds before asking in surprise and joy: "Margaret?"
"Long time no see, more than three hundred years." The girl blinked her crystal red eyes, then smiled and said, "Your appearance has changed a bit, but the overall appearance has not changed much. The woman next to you is yours." wife?"
Shirley's body trembled slightly: "It's an honor to meet you, great lady demigod."
There was some approval on Margaret's face: "As expected of a divine creature, Ms. Woking is really willing to give you to Beta. But he is indeed worthy of you."
Shirley bent down: "Thank you ma'am for your compliment."
Although it was just a newly born divine avatar, Shirley knew very well what a demigod... really represented.
The main plane does not allow gods to appear, at most they are descended from gods, or spiritual projections. In this way, the strength will be greatly reduced. But demigods are different. This kind of strong man who is half-human and half-god will not be rejected by the laws of the main plane.
A demigod on the main plane is almost a symbol of invincibility, unless another demigod appears.
Margaret looked at Shirley: "I have something very important to talk to Beta, can you leave for a while?"
Shirley gripped Beta's hand with some concern. But Beta said: "It's okay, you go out first, Margaret is my friend."
After hesitating for a while, Shirley and Amanda and her daughter exited the room together.
Beta looked at Margaret in front of her in a daze. Fire Dragon King Margaret, the strongest half-dragon, is also the mount of his cousin Shuke in the game.
