Chapter 154: Spiritual Library! Dark Web of Knowledge
It is best not to cast teleportation spells in the Longhair Forest.

Xiao En exerted another mental control on the Monster Doctor, and then took him away from the Long Hair Forest. This forest was fraught with many unknown dangers, and the challenge level of some core areas was even legendary.

"Activate the mental force field."

"Record and scan the plane characteristics of the spirit world, mark the landmark area - [Long Hair Forest]."

"Compile the relevant mystical knowledge into the [Knowledge (Plane)] folder."

The mysterious knowledge in Sean's brain has been further organized, and his ability to read magic has also been upgraded. In the past, the knowledge he memorized through reading magic was stored randomly, but now he tries to create several folders in his brain and store all the corresponding knowledge in them.

To a certain extent, Sean has used his brain and mysterious knowledge as a biological computer.

——Knowledge (religion), Knowledge (planes), Knowledge (crafts), Knowledge (biology), etc.

Although this is only a small progress for Xiao En, it is of great significance because he has completed a domestication process similar to programming, and has taken a step further in mastering the mysterious knowledge. The chaotic and disordered activated knowledge can be transformed into an ordered combination.

There are many elements that a spellcaster needs to advance to the legendary realm. Xiao En is currently completing the knowledge related to the planes and storing them separately in an area of ​​the brain, which is equivalent to opening a folder.

Now Sean no longer needs to use copying magic to record. He can engrave it directly into his brain as his own mental library.

But right now, Xiao En only opened Drive C and Drive D, which are his left brain and right brain respectively.

"Was Ms. Hecate's labyrinth library also opened up in this way?" Sean said to himself.

At present, the gap between Sean and his teacher is still very huge. He can only store information in his own brain, but Ms. Hecate can materialize the maze library in the real world.

“Maybe consider opening up a spiritual space.”

"Since illusions can become real, then the imaginary spiritual space may also materialize in the real plane."

Among the extraordinary powers of demigods, there is an ability called "changing reality".

The thought changed.

A small spiritual space of a library emerged in Xiao En's mind, with individually classified bookshelves inside. A dark, invisible hand stretched out from the ceiling and placed a book titled "Plane Knowledge (Spiritual World)" on the bookshelf.

"I feel like this makes it much easier to manage arcane knowledge. We'll need a search engine in the future."

The wizard's ability to read magic is too strong.

Quantum reading.

Xiao En can memorize things much faster than he can learn and master them, which results in some knowledge being stored in his brain before he is fully understood. It is equivalent to storing it in the computer's hard drive. After editing a search engine in the mental space, it becomes much easier for him to look through the knowledge himself.

Even in battle, he can review his memory knowledge at any time.

However, there are no banshee servants in Xiao En’s spiritual space, and the library administrators are dark and invisible hands.

Currently, there are only thirteen rows of bookshelves in the entire spiritual library, and the knowledge is still a little poor.

The knowledge stored in the spiritual library has different external changes in each book. For example, ordinary historical knowledge, no matter how many words it has, can be fully contained in one book, and there is nothing unusual on the surface.

However, the cover of the book "Plane Knowledge (Spiritual World)" that had just been stored looked a bit like human skin, with a faint gray mist floating on it, as if strands of imaginary hair were swaying, because it contained knowledge about the Long Hair Forest.

Ordinary people cannot read books that are materialized in this way. They will go crazy or die if they read them. They cannot withstand the pollution at all and will be polluted if they know about it.

There is almost nothing that ordinary people can see on the last row of bookshelves in Xiao En's spiritual library. Some of the books are so beautiful that even powerful extraordinary people cannot look directly at them, because at the end of the bookshelf is a swirling purple void, in which is printed a strange black leather book - "Old Picture Book".

"With my psychic abilities, I should be able to pull others into my spiritual world."

“I just don’t know if I can just download the knowledge to them.”

Xiao En glanced at the low bushes under his feet. He was about to leave the Long Hair Forest. He said to himself, "The people of the Weird Empire can download knowledge from the main brain and build a mental network that connects the entire tribe."

"To some extent, I possess some of the abilities of the main brain, so I should be able to do it."

"So."

"In theory, other people can also upload and download knowledge from me."

That's right.

Xiao En's most important goal is not downloading, but uploading. Even though he is now seeking the laws of the [Devil] field, he is also very clear that his core field is [Knowledge]. However, it is too difficult and slow to study and search for knowledge by himself.

Blindness and stupidity are everywhere in the weird country.

Is there a way to allow other people to connect to their spiritual world and upload and download knowledge from them by paying some price?

——Upload first, then download.

If this is really possible, Sean's existence would be like an Internet that stores knowledge, and he would become the most powerful 'God of Knowledge' in history!
【Equivalent exchange of knowledge! 】

Xiao En began to brainstorm and muttered, "After acquiring the talent of the Son of Slaughter, it is obvious that the activated knowledge in my brain has been upgraded."

“It can be said to be a biological computer equivalent to a digitized template.”

"And I have a strong clairvoyance ability, so I can classify the mysterious levels of knowledge and exchange mysterious knowledge of the same level for other mysterious knowledge."

"This is achievable." [Xiao En can see the external manifestation of knowledge. The higher the level of mysterious knowledge, the stronger the external strange manifestation. ]

"As a middleman, I don't charge any fees."

“It’s just storing the knowledge.”

"Now then."

"Don't think of yourself as a human being, think of yourself as a mastermind. If I were a mastermind, how would I plan and complete this series of knowledge transactions?"

"You can try it."

What Xiao En needs is not a system, but a system for himself to play the role of others!

even.

He could consider using a devil's contract to get others to sign a 'system contract' with him, and in this way, with the spirit world messenger as the medium, let them connect to Sean's spiritual network. This kind of connection often requires a big boss to do it. Sean is not a big boss yet, but the problem is that 'Eamon' is a big boss.

So 'Emon' is also a respected name in the world!
What Xiao En wants to do is to turn himself into a system plug-in for other people. He wants to be the one who creates the system.

“You can try it on a small scale.”

Xiao En quickly completed the first step of the plan. As for how to execute it, he might need to ask Sealed Artifact No. 1 - Mechanical Brain, because its computing power was much stronger than Xiao En's. If possible, he even wanted to transfer part of the consciousness of Sealed Artifact No. 1 to his own spiritual library, so that he would have an angel-level computer to operate it and it would be much easier to manage the knowledge he stored.

After leaving the Long Hair Forest, Sean saw some horned sheep gnawing at the ground.

——Amon's Flock [Amon's Messenger] (CR 11)? !

This is a group of creatures with black fur and curved goat horns. It has a goat's head, a wolf's body, and a viper's tail. When it runs, it will make a sharp whistle, and the viper will hiss. You can see flames spewing from its mouth full of sharp teeth.

"Messengers of the ancient sun god Amon."

Xiao En lowered his altitude a little and observed and recorded these monsters active in the spiritual world. Strictly speaking, they were already dead, but not completely dead.

"Amon, the chief god of Thebes in ancient Egypt."

"After his fall, Amon also became a half-dead spirit."

According to ancient books on contract magic, Amon was once an ancient god of light and law, and at that time there was a group of intelligent golden goats as his messengers and assistants. However, when Amon fell and was forgotten, these golden goats still lived, but as time passed, these creatures also became distorted like Amon, and the result of the distortion was the deformed horned beast.

Therefore, wizards also call horned beasts "Amon's flock".

If one wants to contact Amon again now, he can probably only summon his residual soul through a contract. Amon only has a little divinity of an immortal left in his body, and he can never be completely dead.

These sheep have a very good appetite and they are gnawing on the ground that has been transformed into long hair.

"Someone?"

Xiao En's brows suddenly frowned, his telepathy detected the magic fluctuations, and along with the invisibility spell to cover their tracks, soon a sound of fighting was heard on the side of "Amon's Flock".

Soul Mage?!
A man with obvious bloodline of Purgatory creatures appeared around Amon's flock. He carefully set up the ritual array and then summoned his own spirit. He was wearing a dark blue robe, with magic patterns all over his gray arms. His eyebrows looked a bit like an elf hybrid, and his long hair was casually draped with wisps of soul fire. There was a chain wrapped around his waist, which bound his ankles but did not affect his movement.

——One who binds himself.

A unique dark ritual.

The symbol is that chains will be wrapped around the body of the recipient, which can be regarded as a low-end version of Dark Oath.

The Soul Mage is a special advancement, an extraordinary path that excels at extracting the power of the soul. It is extremely rare and almost never seen in the real world.

Their job sequence is 'soul' and they are often active in the spiritual world.

This path of spellcasting cannot embrace kindness.

Around Amon's flock, a twisted ghost appeared in the palm of the soul mage's hand. The arcane power in his body tore the soul apart, and finally completely squeezed out its potential. With the soul power being completely drained, he used the captured soul as material to complete the entire ritual spell. - Soul Sacrifice [Dark Ritual].

Countless roots filled with negative energy grew wildly from the ground. These tentacles that could absorb life energy entangled Amon's flock of sheep. Except for a very few agile horned sheep that escaped, the others were completely imprisoned, crawling on the spot and screaming miserably.

The natives of the spirit world.

The other party didn't know how long he had lived in the spiritual world, but he had already assimilated into the spiritual world and exhibited some characteristics of plane creatures.

——Soul-stealing technique!

As soon as this spell was used, Xiao En knew what the other party was going to do, because a dazzling gem appeared in his palm, accompanied by a touch of strange blood light, and the souls of Amon's flock were directly extracted and imprisoned in the gem.

He was capturing souls as a kind of wealth, a material for casting spells, an element of advancement.

The other party obviously gained a lot from this trip, because he had a satisfied smile on his face, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly curved.

——Shadow Black Tentacles!

Xiao En's figure suddenly appeared, and he raised his hand gently. A spell fell from the sky, but the target was not the soul mage in front of him, but the flock of Amon's sheep that escaped not far away.

Tough black tentacles pinned the horned sheep to the spot. They were unable to break free and were completely controlled by Sean.

"Who?"

The soul mage Larius made a warning sound, and a magical light flashed on his body instantly, which should be the activation of the protective magic item on his body.

——Soul Mage-Larius [Soul Stealer] [Contractor of Amon] (Challenge Level 16)? !

Xiao En's figure slowly emerged. He landed with the monster doctor and looked at the soul mage who was extremely alert not far away. He said lightly: "Friend."

"I have no ill intentions. I just noticed that there seemed to be a few fish that slipped through your hunting ritual, so I wanted to help."

A transcendent of the arcane and psychic paths?
Larius' pupils shrank slightly when he saw Xiao En. He was a transcendent of the soul sequence with unique perception, and he also had Amon's spiritual contract on him. Xiao En's strength made him very afraid, because the other party's strength was far above his, not to mention that there was an enslaved flesh and blood weaver next to him.

He can see the enslaved soul of Doctor Monster.

Larius said warily, "Thank you very much, sir."

"Since you have helped me, I will give you these horned beasts."

He rejected Sean's kindness.

Those horned beasts that were bound by Sean were directly given to Sean by him. After Sean's figure appeared, he no longer used the soul-stealing technique.

The spirit world is a place full of dangers.

It's best to be careful when you meet other people in the wilderness here.

Xiao En raised an eyebrow when he heard this and asked, "Where are you from, friend?"

Larius is now in a dilemma. If he abandons the ritual, his gains for today will be gone. If he continues with the ritual, his mana pool will be greatly consumed. If the other party has bad intentions, the situation will be very bad.

He groaned for a moment and said, "The Land of Ghosts."

"Where are you from, sir?"

Land of ghosts?

That place in the spirit world?

Xiao En said calmly, "Dagon."

People from the real world.

Larius relaxed his guard a little after hearing this. The people in the real world were not so warlike. They were more like travelers from the spirit world and would not intervene too much in the power disputes in the spirit world.

He groaned for a moment and said, "Your Excellency suddenly showed up. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"If you lack high-quality soul crystals."

"We can each split the harvest here in half."

Spend money to eliminate disasters.

He thought Sean had a voracious appetite.

Larius chose to take a step back and divide the souls harvested from the ceremony into two parts. This is a rule of survival in the spirit world: "Whoever sees it, gets a share."

But Xiao En prefers "since I'm here".

He was not interested in Amon's flock of sheep, and he could find a way to get the soul crystals himself. He was more interested in this soul mage.

Of course, Xiao En didn't want to enslave the other party.

After all, he is not a real mind flayer. He wants to enslave everyone he sees. It is not advisable to indulge in the power of mind slavery. Besides, the natives of the spirit world are not simple, and he might cause trouble. The spirit world is a place with the lowest challenge level of 8. There are too many big guys hidden here.

Xiao En said calmly, "Friend."

"You don't need the Soul Crystal. I want to make a deal with you."

transaction?

Larius's expression instantly became alert, and he asked in a serious tone, "What deal?"

Sean smiled and said, "Friend. Do you know Eamon?"

Eamon?

This name made Larius feel a little uneasy. He stepped back half a step cautiously and said, "I know a little."

Xiao En nodded and said, "I am a follower who serves Amon."

The other party showed a trace of fear when he heard this and asked, "Are you from the Grey Whispering Hermitage?"

Xiao En did not comment.

He said calmly, "Our organization has been very interested in knowledge recently. If you are willing to give us a portion of your soul's knowledge, you can exchange it for other things from us."

"For example, mysterious knowledge in other fields, or wealth and power, or even high-level extraordinary relics."

“It’s a fair deal.”

Larius obviously didn't trust what Sean said. He hesitated and asked, "How do you trade?"

Xiao En said calmly: "A simple and harmless sacrificial ritual."

"Our messenger will deliver what you need. Of course, the prerequisite is that the knowledge you provide is valuable."

The soul mage in front of him showed a skeptical expression.

Xiao En condensed a secret seal in his palm, flicked his fingers and it flew out, and said lightly: "Friend, you can seriously consider it."

“There aren’t many opportunities like this.”

Cast a wide net.

Xiao En finished speaking, waved his hand to disperse the shadowy black tentacles, turned his head and glanced at the other party, his sight lingering on the other party's distorted soul reflection, that is the law of the [Soul] sequence. Since it has begun to touch the law of [Devil], then how can the soul not be involved? The devil originally steals souls.

Fields are stepping stones. As long as there are connections and ties, it is possible to master new fields across paths.

Soul Sequence, you can give it a try.

Sean simply tore open a portal and returned to the real world with the monster doctor.

This means that he really has no hostility.

Soul Mage Larius had been watching Xiao En's figure leave. After confirming that he had left the spirit world, he breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "Trading knowledge?"

"What are the people of the Grey Whispering Hermitage plotting?"

To be honest, he was a little moved.

But he was worried and afraid of being ambushed, but he soon thought of a solution.

He has a soul apprentice who isn't very bright!
The kind that you don't have to feel sad about even if he dies.
