Chapter 184: Chapter 182: The Treasure of the One Who Knows

"Due to the emergence of an unfamiliar aura, the surrounding ’Polluted Gatekeepers’ show signs of reawakening."

"You don’t have time to be shocked and immediately activate the effect of the ’Hidden God’s Clothes,’ entering the ’Hidden’ state."

"The ’Polluted Gatekeepers’ fall silent once again."

"The crisis is resolved, and you finally have the leisure to carefully examine your surroundings."

"This is an extraordinarily grand plaza, spanning tens of thousands of acres, akin to a colossal city, filled with mysterious symbols and statues. The most prominent structure is the towering ’Holy Image’ of the ’Wisdom God,’ standing a thousand meters tall, piercing the clouds, its summit out of sight."

"A pity,"

"Due to the pollution of the ’Polluted Mountain and Sea,’ the area is filled with dirt and uncleanness, and the brilliance of the original mythical scenery is no longer visible."

"You suspect that, as the First Sacrificial Ground dedicated to the ’Wisdom God,’ this place might record the location of the ’Gate City’ and the events after the ’Secret Ceremony of Communication with God,’ potentially linked to the disappearance of the ’Wisdom God.’"

"You begin searching,"

"You bypass two slumbering ’Polluted Gatekeepers,’ but the aura of dirt and uncleanness causes your life to decrease by 3."

"You fall into a state of weakness, illness, and frailty."

"With hundreds of [Destiny Fire Bottles] in hand, you remain calm, searching for the hidden knowledge you desire."

"You bypass another dozen ’Polluted Gatekeepers’ and come upon a white stone-built temple. By this point, your illness has worsened to the point where you can no longer stand."

"You die of sickness."

What a twist—turns out illness is the deadliest killer.

As a wizard who pastors the ’God of Victory’ and has already attained the rank of ’Star Spirit God,’ Yang Qizhou is understandably frustrated.

The game continues.

"Fate once again rewrites your death, and you open your eyes once more on the ’Plaza.’"

"You deftly activate the ’Hidden God’s Clothes.’"

"You enter the ’Hidden’ state."

"After bypassing the final ’Polluted Gatekeeper,’ you push open the temple door with unprecedented excitement."

"Inside the ’Temple,’ you find ruins—the power of dirt and uncleanness has destroyed everything, leaving not even half of an ’Old Sacrifice’ behind."

"Having interfered with reality, you emerge from the ’Hidden’ state."

"The surrounding ’Polluted Gatekeepers’ awaken one after another and rush toward you. Despite your desperate resistance, their overwhelming numbers—more than twenty—prove insurmountable."

"You are quickly pinned to the ground and beaten mercilessly."

"You die again."

Damn, what a trash game, making me get excited for nothing.

Yang Qizhou spits in frustration.

The game continues.

"Once again, you navigate the process of death with practiced ease, using [Destiny Fire Bottles] to rewrite your fate."

"You open your eyes on the plaza and immediately activate the ’Hidden God’s Clothes.’"

"You continue exploring."

"Soon, you find another structure, a standalone three-story manor resembling an ancient castle, topped with the ’Holy Emblem’ of the ’Wisdom God.’ It appears to be a private residence."

"Whoever built a house here must be no ordinary figure."

"Using the effect of ’Hidden,’ you stealthily approach. The process goes smoothly. Whether due to the castle owner’s extraordinary status or some other reason, the path holds few ’Polluted Gatekeepers.’"

"You successfully infiltrate the manor."

"In the courtyard, you encounter a secret ceremony set by the castle’s owner. It enforces a ’Cannot Be Invisible’ rule. Upon analysis, this power equals the effect of the ’Hidden God’s Clothes.’ Since both ’authority’ and ’symbolism’ are countered, you’re forced to leave the ’Hidden’ state."

"You feel uneasy,"

"As a seasoned manipulator, you’ve relied on the ’Hidden God’s Clothes’ for countless unscrupulous deeds. Being unable to enter the ’Hidden’ state feels like standing naked, entirely exposed and insecure."

"You grit your teeth and press on."

"Soon, you arrive at the castle’s entrance." freēwēbnovel.com

"At that very moment, a heavy figure descends from the skies, surrounded by an oppressive aura that shakes the earth and forms a deep pit."

"Could it be a ’Polluted Gatekeeper’? You summon the power of the ’God of Victory’ and ready the authorities of ’Gathering Fortune’ and ’Miracle,’ preparing for combat."

"When the dust settles, the first thing you see is a blue-and-white maid outfit, perfectly symmetrical. As you look further, you see a pretty face, fair skin, cold eyes—the epitome of allure."

"A pity,"

"The maid’s arms and calves are made of metal, clearly marking her as non-human."

"She was likely a creation of the castle’s previous owner."

"As you ponder this, the maid’s arms suddenly retract, transforming into two sharp, lethal blades. The chilling killing intent lowers the surrounding temperature."

"Nearby, two ’Polluted Gatekeepers’—likely former servants of the castle—charge at the maid. Before they can get close, they are sliced into eighteen pieces in the blink of an eye, the speed so fast you barely catch the afterimage."

"You take a sharp breath, contributing to global warming with your exhalation."

"You think to yourself that entering this place seems impossible now."

"Ready to face the maid’s masterful blade techniques, you brace yourself."

"But to your surprise, the maid doesn’t attack. Instead, she retracts the blades, lifts her skirt, crouches slightly, and bows to you, greeting the noble ’Wizard’ and welcoming you to Anreian’s Castle of the Cognizant."

"Filled with questions, you ask what’s going on."

"You quickly get the answer from the maid."

"It turns out that this was the ancient castle of Anreian, one of the seven ruling officials of ’Gate City.’ Anreian excelled in ’Secret Ceremony Arrays’ and ’Puppet Making’ and was the most outstanding puppet master on the entire ’ancient land.’ The maid was his most cherished creation, originally designed to welcome the shepherds of the ’Ancient Gods,’ noble wizards who ruled the ancient land during the late Third Epoch, surpassing even the gods in stature."

No wonder such a figure resides in the sacred grounds of the ’Wisdom God.’ Their status is indeed extraordinary.

What surprises Yang Qizhou, however, is that despite the ’Gate City’ experiencing pollution from the ’Polluted Mountain and Sea’ and enduring countless ages, this maid still functions normally, possessing the unrivaled ability to instantly defeat two ’Polluted Gatekeepers.’

"She was created by Anreian to welcome wizards. Who knows if the game character can somehow persuade her to tag along."

Even with one free helper already, who ever complains about having more?

The game continues.

"The maid explains further that since her master, Anreian, is not home, she is programmed to handle all interactions with the noble ’Wizard.’"

"Having intended to explore this castle anyway, you naturally agree."

"You both soon enter the castle."

"The maid takes you to the first stop, a room called the ’Secret Technique Place.’ According to her description, every time Anreian created a new ’Secret Ceremony Array’ or discovered a previously unknown strange array, he would immediately collect it here. Over the eons, the ’Secret Technique Place’ has accumulated countless arrays and remains his most prized masterpiece."

"The maid’s description stirs immense anticipation within you."

"You both quickly step into the ’Secret Technique Place.’"

"The maid begins explaining the purpose, origin, arrangement method, principles of harnessing mystical power, and corresponding symbolism behind each ’Secret Ceremony Array,’ and so on."

"You remain silent,"

"For you see neither dazzling arrays nor immense mystical power. The ’Secret Technique Place’ is nothing more than a room ruined by the forces of dirt and uncleanness—polluted, reeking, and flowing with foul water."

"Perhaps, in the maid’s eyes, this room has never changed."

"Leaving the ’Secret Technique Place,’ the maid leads you to the second room."

"This room is called the ’Universal Treasury’..."

"According to the maid’s introduction, Anreian used this room to store his private belongings—be it ’Old Sacrifices,’ ’Magical Artifacts,’ ’ancient objects,’ or ’mysterious material,’ all of it resides within."

"The maid adds that to foster interaction with noble wizards, Anreian devised a playful mechanism here. He divided all the treasures into nine hundred and ninety-nine parts, placing them in different ’secret treasure boxes.’ Each box involves a mysticism-based challenge. Should the wizard succeed, they can take the treasure inside. However, to avoid bankruptcy, there are only three chances for each wizard."

"You fall silent again,"

"Because instead of seeing rows of ’secret treasure boxes’ glowing with radiant light on display, you find boxes scattered chaotically while most have been opened, their contents—’Magical Artifacts,’ ’ancient objects,’ and so on—polluted and rendered unusable by the forces of dirt and uncleanness."

"That said, there are still some valuable items left. You ask the maid, ’Can I try the game once?’"

"Of course..."

"The maid promptly confirms, stating that this is a playful challenge orchestrated by the master for noble wizards. Naturally, you, as an esteemed wizard, are welcome to participate."

"You quickly get to work."

"Instead of targeting the still intact ’secret treasure boxes,’ you turn your attention to those already opened, their treasures exposed."

"You step forward."
