Another day passed quickly.
For Wang Zhifan, it was a simple yet fulfilling and very comfortable day.
He traded so unnecessary equipnt for Gold Coins, so he was not lacking in money and could live quite lavishly in this dieval fantasy city.
As for gathering intelligence about the Demon King, he felt he had mostly completed it, or rather, he was too lazy to investigate a possibly not very strong enemy in detail, planning to just wait for the Demon King to appear and be ready for a big fight, just like other players in the instance.
At this mont, Wang Zhifan appeared in a bustling area of the outer city, where there was a wide stone square. In the center of the square, a beautiful magic fountain splashed water, surrounded by different performances from the sa circus troupe in segnted areas, attracting a large crowd of local people of all ages.
"Ladies and gentlen! Next up is our circus’s most classic clown magic! Please watch closely! Don’t blink!"
"Lion jumping through a hoop of fire! Only one Copper Coin and you can watch this majestic lion perform for you once!"
"Everyone co play the roulette ga! The luckiest audience mber can win the latest model luxury carriage!"
"Fate divination! Just one Silver Coin to know where your opportunities lie!"
...
The square was bustling with people, full of excitent. Amidst the crowd, Wang Zhifan felt a strong exotic atmosphere, and his heightened interest led him to occasionally spend a little Qian to join in the circus programs, playing gas that were like child’s play to him, yet the joy he gained was genuine.
"This city feels peaceful and beautiful, but unfortunately, soon a guy called the Demon King will co and cause trouble... If only it would co out sooner, I would deal with it promptly..."
After having his fill of enjoynt, the ti had already reached the afternoon. Wang Zhifan thought this, planning to leave and return to his high-class hotel, intending to spend the remaining ti focusing on his cultivation, and only act once the Demon King erged.
But as he reached the edge of the square, a young man carrying a leather bag, looking like a ssenger, suddenly called out to him, extending a letter sealed with red wax to him.
"Sir, you have a letter. It was sent to you by your friend Jack."
The ssenger handed over the letter and quickly turned to leave, looking very busy.
"Jack wrote a letter? How did he know I was here?"
For a mont, holding the letter, Wang Zhifan felt a bit puzzled. He hadn’t anticipated that his casual partner could contact him, as it didn’t make much sense.
Utilizing his powerful intuition to penetrate the envelope, ensuring nothing dangerous was hidden inside, Wang Zhifan broke the seal and took out the letter to read.
Due to the basic language comprehension assistive function equipped in this instance, he was able to understand this letter signed by Jack.
Soon, from the letter, Wang Zhifan learned that Jack claid to have learned of his whereabouts through so rcenary friends who worked for the royal family, stating that soone saw him in the central city area.
And he wrote because he recently had an important breakthrough in intelligence—specifically, that through inquiries, he learned that a mysterious bookstore contains valuable information about the Demon King, and coincidentally, this bookstore was located in the very capital city where Wang Zhifan was currently. Jack highly recomnded he take ti to check it out and provided the detailed address he found out.
"He learned of my whereabouts from others... Could it have been from the expedition fortress side? But that doesn’t really make sense... There, I only spoke a bit more with one gunman player, barely contacting others..."
Although he finished reading the letter, Wang Zhifan felt more puzzled. His intuition told him that Jack writing to him had a hint of deliberation and was sowhat unusual.
"A bit strange... but the bookstore did successfully attract my attention... I happen to have ti now, I can go check it out."
Sensing sothing amiss, Wang Zhifan did not overly concern himself, confident he could handle any unexpected situation, especially since he was already quite alert.
In the subsequent ti, he followed the address given by Jack in the letter, leaving the square where the circus performance was taking place, and headed to the location.
It was in a secluded corner of the outer city, not far from the square, and after asking a few people for directions, Wang Zhifan didn’t take long to find the target location.
From over a hundred ters away, he saw a street with few pedestrians, with an unassuming bookstore by the side. The single-story wooden and stone structure was decorated with a strong exotic style, resembling a dark underworld the, no wonder Jack heard that this place might hold information about the Demon King.
"Everything is arranged properly, but sotis being too normal is actually the most abnormal."
Still a short distance from the mysterious bookstore, with no unusual signs around, Wang Zhifan’s exceptional intuition, however, allowed him to pick up so indeterminate traces of energy.
These energy traces weren’t sothing remarkable in this world, given the existence of extraordinary phenona, but his intuition told him things weren’t as simple as they seed.
"Could it be that Mage I t on the carriage yesterday plotting against ? But why would he do so?"
Thinking about it, Wang Zhifan listed a suspect while his figure suddenly vanished into the distance, leaving behind a clone to continue the exploration. Such cautious action was necessary.
