Your knowledge is too taboo

Candlelight flickers.

The crowd was solemn and silent. Among them, only Qi Lu was at the front.

He half-knelt on the ground, stretched out his hand and touched the mirror lightly.

The next second, the dark mirror surface rippled like water waves.

When he saw the mirror began to fluctuate a little, Qi Lu raised his hand and respectfully placed something in his hand in front of the mirror.

After doing all this, he slowly stepped back.

And the place where he stood happened to be the point where he stood when he first met the Lord of Truth.

"The Greatest Lord of Truth."

Qi Lu chanted: "Your most loyal believers, the ethnic group who are willing to drive for you, I pray for your attention at this moment."

Following his words.

The surrounding Qi family members in black and white clothes all clasped their hands together at the same moment and recited the sacrificial inscription that Qi Lu racked his brains to come up with.

"The traveler whose eyes reach the boundary of time."

"The Omniscient One who possesses all knowledge."

"The God of Contract who holds the scales."

"Please listen to the prayers from your humble believers, follow the principle of 'equivalent exchange', fiddle with the thread of time, and give your believers the truth!"

This is the sacrificial text that Qi Lu figured out based on the words of the Lord of Truth and His authority.

Although he didn't know what the use was.

After all, the previous sacrificial ritual to the god "Tai Mei" ended up finding a strange and great being...

But, you have to say good things, right?

They can't make silly demands like "Lao Deng, give me some more gold coins," nor can they lower their stance too low.

When a person's posture is lowered to the dust, then his value is at most the same as dirt.

Take it easily, use it casually, and don't cherish it.

Qi Lu doesn't want to be "mud".

But he also knew that they needed to show their worth if they were to gain lasting support from the Lord of Truth.

Isn’t that what great beings are like? To them, humans are nothing more than small things like gravel. However, if the gravel is as beautiful as a gem, then they will be somewhat interested.

What Qi Lu has to do now is to make him look as simple as a rough stone, but it is also worth looking forward to the exquisiteness after peeling off the shell!

"I need to make the Lord of Truth realize something."

That is to choose him, Qi Lu, as the contractor of the transaction...

It’s a very valuable option!

This idea can be called transgression.

But this is Qi Lu's ambition. In other words, part of ambition.

And along with what Qi Lu was thinking.

Among the sacrificial chants recited in unison, slight pollution quietly spread at this moment.

Along with the pollution, there is also the hazy figure that gradually reappears in the mirror.

After everyone's voices stopped.

A distorted voice came from the mirror: "Oh?"

"Oh it's you."

Qi Lu felt happy when he heard this.

He could clearly feel that he seemed to have some impression in the mind of the Lord of Truth.

This is a good sign.

Suppressing the joy in his heart to the deepest level, Qi Lu looked solemn: "Yes, the great Lord of Truth."

He lowered his head towards the mirror with a sincere attitude: "Thank you for the knowledge you gave us. Relying on that knowledge, we successfully eliminated a group of night crawlers and seized their belongings."

Pointing to the various materials piled up as high as a hill in the distance, Qi Lu looked into the mirror: "To express our sincere gratitude to you for your mercy and gift, please allow me to offer sacrifices."

Hearing this, the person in the mirror was silent for a moment.

After a moment, the distorted voice came again: "It's an inferior product that's better than nothing."

"However, equal exchange is the most constant law in the world. You have paid the corresponding price for the answer to your prayers. This is enough and no more is needed."

Hearing this, Qi Lu was stunned for three seconds.

He looked in the mirror in disbelief.

...Does this mean that He does not need any additional sacrifices from Him?

It's hard to describe how Qi Lu feels at this moment.

But one thing is certain.

That is.

"This Lord of Truth is a little too...lawful?!"

After saying "equivalent exchange", he actually strictly abided by the rules he said, without any intention of violating them.

Such a great existence is really...

So cool!

"The great existence that abides by order is definitely the most precious opportunity in the world!"

Qi Lu's heart became excited again: "Compared to those legendary beings who destroy a city if they don't agree with each other, or who have no desires or even want to pay attention to people, the communication with the Lord of Truth is simply perfect. !”

You don't have to worry about the other person's possible mood swings, and you don't have to think hard about how to attract the other person's attention. You only need to propose a transaction and pay the value to exchange knowledge from the other party...

It’s so worry-free! It’s so worry-free!

And the taboo knowledge of the other party is all genuine.

You know, they just used those forbidden knowledge to crush a group of night crawlers, which is enough to prove how valuable the knowledge of the Lord of Truth is if used properly!

Thinking of this, Qi Lu's mood became more determined: "We must connect with the Lord of Truth."

The Qi family's future will most likely depend on their relationship with the Lord of Truth!

Therefore, he lowered his head even more humbly: "Thank you for your generosity."

"But please be sure to accept our sincerity. This is not an add-on to the product, but a compliment from us for giving you timely help."

Looking at the mirror, Qi Lu's attitude was extremely sincere: "When the Qi family encountered difficulties, it was you who appeared in front of us. And it was you who gave us the secrets to defeat the enemy. It was you who gave us hope and gave us future."

"So, this is our 'repayment'. It is a thank you for your willingness to appear in front of us, in addition to the transaction."

Said.

Qi Lu knelt down half-kneeling, his eyes firm.

His voice was sonorous and powerful: "Please give me a chance to repay your kindness! As I said before - the Qi family is willing to hand over their souls to you and turn them into blades in your hands."

"We will show you that this knife deserves its due value!"

The words fell.

In the mirror, the Lord of Truth looked at Qi Lu silently.

A long time later.

A chuckle came from inside the mirror.

The laughter was twisted and distorted, like intermittent noise echoing in everyone's ears, and like a dense spider web twisting people tightly.

In that laughter, there was undisguised interest.

"interesting."

The Lord of Truth smiled lightly and said: "As a blade? Your ambition is bigger than I thought."

"Well, since this is a thank you, it is also part of the deal. Of course, I should give you the opportunity to 'show yourself'."

In everyone's ears, the distorted voice suddenly became loud.

He solemnly spoke to everyone: "Then, I will give you a task."

"Go explore the catastrophe thousands of years ago! Use everything you see and hear as a bargaining chip for your future transactions."

"To reveal the dusty past and buried history."

"When you understand everything, you will know that mankind's lost past will also reveal the future of mankind's destiny!"
