Chapter 485

"Re... really? Are you the God of Knowledge?" Ti Gu Li asked with a trembling voice.

The male mage was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Ti Gu Li, who are you talking to?"

Ti Gu Li waved a hand to stop him, knelt down, and said piously: "Is it really you, all-knowing God of Knowledge? Please bestow your name upon me. I am willing to believe in you piously forever. May your glory be endless and shine upon all directions..."

Then Ti Gu Li nodded repeatedly as if she had heard something: "Oh, oh, oh, is that what it's called? Okay, I'll go open the passageway immediately to inherit your legacy. Thank you for the God of Knowledge's grace."

Ti Gu Li scrambled up, grabbed the male mage, and ran toward the passageway.

The male mage was still a bit dazed: "Uh, no, the food, what happened?"

Ti Gu Li didn't say a word, dragging him along as she ran forward.

Nai Ge Li Si said excitedly: "Follow, follow, someone cast an Invisibility Spell."

Just as Anthony was about to act, Ge Lei had already said: "I'll do it, Light Mirror."

A smooth protective barrier covered them. The surface of the barrier was incredibly smooth, reflecting the surrounding scenery, and the group of them seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Carrying the Light Mirror, the group followed. Upon entering the passageway, they still heard the male mage asking: "Ti Gu Li, what happened? What are you muttering about for no reason? You don't even want the food; we worked so hard to cook it."

Nai Ge Li Si laughed in a low voice: "These children are too easy to trick. They fell for it just like that. Do they have no vigilance at all?"

Anthony coughed, hesitating as if to say something, but after thinking about it, he didn't. Instead, Ge Lei was unhappy:

"They haven't been out in society yet, and they are kind-hearted, that's why they fell for your trick. Actually, when they graduate, we have some training courses to teach them how to increase their vigilance and not trust others easily, especially the God of Knowledge, hmph."

"La la la la, the God of Knowledge wouldn't lie to people. Didn't I tell her my name? As long as she knows Dragon Tongue, she can chant it," Nai Ge Li Si said shamelessly.

Ku Ba Da, Ge Lei really wanted to punch him in the eye, but unfortunately, Nai Ge Li Si was currently in a projection state.

How could a human possibly speak Dragon Tongue? Dragon Tongue requires a resonance chamber. Without a chest cavity as large and a vocal tract as long as a dragon's, it is fundamentally impossible to produce Dragon Tongue.

However, Nai Ge Li Si's happiness came to an abrupt end. Ti Gu Li, who had almost reached the end of the passageway, suddenly shouted: "Everyone be careful, there's an undead! It was whispering in my ear, tricking me into thinking it was the God of Knowledge!"

"Pfft—" Ge Lei laughed, and Anthony couldn't help but smile. Only Nai Ge Li Si was hurt: "She didn't fall for it? She acted so well! She made me think she believed it." If Nai Ge Li Si were truly an undead, he wouldn't have stopped her from coming back, but if she had expressed disbelief on the spot, she might not have been able to return.

At the end of the passageway, there were three more mages, one of whom was a Great Mage. At this moment, they were setting up tables, lighting magic lamps, and taking out a large number of books to pore over, attempting to find clues about the God of Knowledge's name.

Now, upon hearing Ti Gu Li's shout, they jumped up immediately. The Great Mage grabbed the magic lamp and twisted the knob at the bottom with force, as if switching a mode. Holy light shone into the passageway like a pillar of light, illuminating Ti Gu Li.

Ti Gu Li shielded her eyes and rushed forward against the light, and the male mage rushed forward as well.

Once they hid behind the magic lamp, the pillar of light shone into the passageway. As if it had touched something, a pillar of light reflected back, shining onto the Great Mage holding the lamp.

The Great Mage squinted slightly and said urgently: "It's a Light Mirror."

As soon as the words left his mouth, a terrified shout came from the passageway: "Ah! It's Holy Light, it's Holy Light, so uncomfortable, it feels like flames are scorching my soul, ah, it's Holy Light, it's Holy Light, I'm going to evaporate, it's the nemesis of darkness, the death knell of the undead—"

When they first heard the shout, Ti Gu Li and the others were happy, but upon hearing the rest, everyone's faces turned black. Are they singing an opera? It was clear they were completely fine and were just toying with them.

The Great Mage grabbed his staff and slammed it onto the ground. A fire dragon surged into the passageway, quickly blocking the passageway into a sea of flames.

However, immediately after, they saw a scene that horrified them. In the passageway, the flames were extinguished bit by bit, extending outward silently, as if something was moving forward, dispelling the flames.

"I... I..." The Great Mage couldn't speak. Of course, he knew how difficult it was to achieve this level; it was the silence that made it difficult. If it were dispelled using magic, that would be fine, but now it was clearly not dispelling, but depriving...

Depriving him of his control over fire elements was what caused this situation to appear. There was at least one mage among the people on the other side whose strength was higher than his.

He was a Great Mage; the only ones higher than him were Arcane Masters and Truth Seekers. Was an Arcane Master coming? They were dead for sure.

"Hmph, know fear now, do you? What level are you at? And you dare to bring so many children out on an adventure? It doesn't matter if you get yourself killed, but it's troublesome if you get everyone else killed. Do you have the conscience to face the parents who raised them, the teachers who taught them, and the farmers who worked hard to plant the crops!"

A stern voice came over, scolding everyone until they were stunned. It felt like they had suddenly traveled back to the classroom from a dim adventure site. This tone, this manner of speaking, was exactly the same as their school teacher, wasn't it?

A patch of flames suddenly shattered, revealing the group of people inside. The leader was masked, wearing a robe, and leaning on a staff, walking over step by step. The flames split in two beneath her feet and gradually extinguished.

Ti Gu Li and the others looked at the emblem on the other party's robe in panic, subconsciously wanting to cover the emblem on their own chests. They felt the panic of being caught skipping class by the dean.

Ge Lei slammed her staff down, and a wave of magic power rippled out, extinguishing the last bit of flames. However, along with the flames, the light also vanished. The other party's magic lamp didn't know when it had been extinguished either. It was pitch black, and the atmosphere was a bit off.

Anthony hurriedly closed and opened his eyes, and two pillars of light shone onto the Great Mage, making everyone else feel panicked as well.

"Hmph, you must be the teacher, what's your name?" Ge Lei gave a muffled grunt and asked sternly.

"Du... Du Er, teacher of the Year 11 Flame Interest Group," the Great Mage Du Er replied obediently. Although the other party was masked, that surging magic power and tone could not be faked. Du Er could even tell who it was from the voice.

"Your strength isn't weak, but you alone dare to bring five children to a place like this for an adventure? Who approved this activity for you?!" Ge Lei questioned.

Du Er had a mournful face: "No, no one approved it. This isn't an activity either, just curiosity. Ti Gu Li suddenly thought of an interesting hypothesis, so they wanted to verify it, so they found me, and we came over. Then we were blocked by the scarecrow, and while hiding, we didn't know how we hid our way in here."

"Do you take me for..." Ge Lei was so angry she slammed her staff, about to lecture them, but was interrupted by Nai Ge Li Si: "Alright, alright, do you think this is school? Just say a few words and that's enough."

Ge Lei was a bit unwilling, but she couldn't ignore Nai Ge Li Si's face. She glared at them fiercely and retreated to the side.

Du Er, Ti Gu Li, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, wishing they could hug the owner of this voice and kiss them.

Because according to the rhythm, if Teacher Du Er were lectured along with them, it would usually take at least half an hour, then the students would be chased away, and Du Er would be lectured for another half hour.

"By the way, Du Er, is it? What's the interesting hypothesis?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

However, at this moment, Ti Gu Li reacted and said loudly: "This voice is the undead that was whispering in my ear. It said it was the God of Knowledge and told me to pray."

Du Er and the others became vigilant again.

Ge Lei slammed her staff and said impatiently: "Alright, Lord God of Knowledge wanted to tease you, but was afraid of scaring you, so we came out. No one lied to you; that really is the God of Knowledge's name."

"What name?" Du Er and the others looked at Ti Gu Li in confusion.

"A passage of Dragon Tongue. He said it was the God of Knowledge's name. Lord Ge Lei, are they really not undead?" Ti Gu Li asked solemnly.

Recognized? Ge Lei took off her mask in surprise and asked: "You know me?"

Hiss—except for Du Er and Ti Gu Li, who had already recognized her, the remaining three mages couldn't help but gasp.

Because she was linked to breaking the Annihilation Array and even drew the Warlock Alliance to air-drop into the Magic Star City, it could be said to have shocked the entire plane. Ge Lei's current popularity was even higher than those duchesses having extramarital affairs.

It's just a pity that no one knew where she had gone. There were rumors that she had become disabled after being captured, but looking at her now, she was completely intact. Where did she look disabled?

Ti Gu Li hurriedly bowed: "I am an outstanding student of the Truth Research Society for the year. Of course I know you, President. I saw you at the meetings in the past two years."

Seeing her was enough; this way they wouldn't treat Nai Ge Li Si as an undead anymore. Ti Gu Li also explained her hypothesis:

"I saw some legends about the scarecrow Scarecrow Wuga and the Undead King in a bard's notebook and found that their relationship seemed very close. Scarecrow Wuga was like someone raised by the Undead King. I was thinking at the time, if the Undead King disappeared, would Scarecrow Wuga run off to find its King?"

"Hiss—are you saying that the scarecrow Scarecrow Wuga came here to find the Undead King? Why would it come here to look?" Nai Ge Li Si was shocked.

Du Er explained: "Because in the legends, this Hall of Knowledge was built by the Undead King. So if Scarecrow Wuga came out to look for the Undead King, it should go to a place it was familiar with. To verify this hypothesis, I brought them over. I originally wanted to apply for it as an extracurricular activity, but the current situation..."

Du Er didn't continue. The current situation of the Truth Research Society was indeed not very good.

This so-called Truth Research Society, whose full name was "Truth Why Is It Like This Discussion Society," was essentially just an extracurricular interest group, or rather, an extracurricular training class.

It mainly attracted students who had extra interest in magic and hoped to conduct in-depth study together to conduct discussions and obtain some extra achievements.

For example, the Fire Interest Group had the "Flame Explosion Group," the "Flame Cooking Group," and the "Using Flame to Burn Butts to Accelerate Group."

The Water Interest Group also had the "Does Water Boiling Out Bubbles Count as Water or Wind Group," the "What Temperature Is Cleanest for Washing Clothes Group," and the "How Many Cups of Water to Drink a Day for Health Group."

Of course, there were more various crash-course groups for hugging thighs before exams, such as "Key Points for Level 4 Exam Subjects," "Pre-Exam Sprint Class Motivation Lessons," and the like.

This originally loose organization gradually expanded into a behemoth because of Ge Lei. Especially after she awakened the ability of Truth Negation and defeated a Truth Seeker in public, the development of the Truth Research Society became somewhat uncontrollable.

An extracurricular training interest group developed into an organization larger than many magic academies, but there were no professionals to change the entire structure of organizational management, making it incredibly chaotic.

In the end, Ge Lei couldn't stand the harassment and ran away, which led to the series of events that followed.

Without Ge Lei's support, many of the Truth Research Society's assets in Magic Star City were annexed at low prices, and the organizational structure became even more chaotic. Du Er wanted to apply, but didn't know how to apply.

However, being loose had the benefits of being loose. A few people could get together, find a guidance teacher, and form an interest group. The only problem was the lack of funding.

But mages were never poor. By pooling their resources, or even Du Er paying out of his own pocket, they could come up with enough funding, so they came over.

Upon arrival, they verified Ti Gu Li's guess. The Star-Burst Canyon of the past was filled with undead creatures, but now they had disappeared, as if they had been scared away by something.

Du Er and the others were overjoyed and immediately followed them in, carefully maintaining their distance from Scarecrow Wuga, and arrived at the very center.

The Hall of Knowledge, which had the most undead creatures, was now empty. They entered without any effort and figured out Scarecrow Wuga's wandering pattern. As long as Scarecrow Wuga didn't leave, they were safe.

Even if Scarecrow Wuga left, this place would be filled up by undead creatures again, and they could just run away then.

It's just that they didn't expect Ang and the others to come in.

"By the way, Teacher Ge Lei, did you run into the scarecrow Scarecrow Wuga when you came in? Did it leave?" After introducing their situation, Ti Gu Li turned to ask.

Ge Lei said: "Scarecrow Wuga was captured by us."

Ti Gu Li and the others widened their eyes with expressions as if they had seen a ghost. The scarecrow Scarecrow Wuga, raised by the Undead King, a powerful undead creature with a real domain, was actually captured by them? They must be bragging, right?

Could Truth Negation really be that powerful?

"Do you think I'm lying to you? No, it's just that you have little experience. Including just now, Lord God of Knowledge didn't lie to you either; that really is its name." Ge Lei could tell what they were thinking and couldn't help but provoke them.

These guys didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth; they needed to be taught a profound lesson.

Du Er and the others looked at Ti Gu Li. Ti Gu Li hurriedly said: "It was a passage of Dragon Tongue. Knowing that we humans can't speak Dragon Tongue, he deliberately spoke Dragon Tongue, so I suspected he was tricking me."

"Did you memorize it? Shall we try?" One of Ti Gu Li's seniors said eagerly.

Ti Gu Li nodded, then began to rummage through her spatial bag, pulling out something like a magic phonograph. Several people gathered around and fiddled with it for a while.

Du Er watched them fiddle with it while explaining: "After Ti Gu Li shared her guess, she also made a detailed activity plan, which included this Dragon Tongue phonograph, because if the God of Knowledge really is a dragon, it's very likely that Dragon Tongue needs to be used in some places."

"Dragon Tongue phonograph? You invented this?" Nai Ge Li Si was amazed. Dragon Tongue could be simulated through a machine?

"No, they came up with it themselves. It hasn't been verified yet, but the idea is very novel and worth encouraging," Du Er said with some pride.

After some fiddling, the phonograph emitted some unit-byte sounds, which indeed sounded very much like broken-down Dragon Tongue.

Ti Gu Li listened word by word, then selected them one by one, and finally connected them into a string: "If I remember correctly, it should be this sentence."

After speaking, she pressed the switch, and the phonograph emitted a low sound: &￥#*@...

Nai Ge Li Si was shocked: "It really was restored? Amazing, except for the lack of magic vibration, the sound is exactly the same."

"Really? Wow! Success, we succeeded! This Dragon Tongue phonograph was invented but never used. We found it all by searching through books, and we didn't know if the pronunciation was correct, and we couldn't find a dragon to calibrate it for us." Ti Gu Li jumped up excitedly.

Anthony also had to admire: "This is amazing. They don't know Dragon Tongue, yet they were able to restore Dragon Tongue from books. Students these days are truly incredible."

Ti Gu Li hurriedly ran to the end of the passageway, activated the object above, and let the phonograph emit the sound: &￥#*@...

However, there was no reaction at all.

"Ah? No reaction? Is it wrong? Didn't you say the sound was exactly the same? This is Dragon Tongue, isn't it? Could it be that the God of Knowledge isn't called this name?" Ti Gu Li turned her head and asked.

Nai Ge Li Si was embarrassed now. Could it be that this temple wasn't built for him?

Anthony suddenly stepped out and said loudly: "Nai Ge Li Si!"

As if something had been activated, the end of the passageway was slowly opened.

Anthony said with a smile: "His Majesty doesn't understand Dragon Tongue."
