Chapter 1135: Chapter 1137 Accidental Encounter_1 Chapter 1135: Chapter 1137 Accidental Encounter_1 Song Jian didn’t know that giving Wang Qi an epic weapon would put him in such a difficult position. Had he known earlier, perhaps he wouldn’t have given him the weapon at all, but of course, that’s just a joke.

As the administrator of the City of Hope, Wang Qi was essentially equivalent to an executive director of a public company, wielding significant power. Obtaining a complete set of epic gear might be challenging, but acquiring just an epic weapon wasn’t a particularly difficult task for him.

However, up until now, Wang Qi’s weapon was still a level 45 golden-quality rifle. For an ordinary player, such a weapon would be something to boast about, but for the Vice City Lord of the City of Hope, a level 45 golden-quality weapon was embarrassingly inadequate.

That’s why, upon obtaining the epic double-barreled shotgun, Song Jian’s first thought was of Wang Qi.

An epic weapon dropped by a level 120 dominion-level boss required 280 points in the agility attribute, a requirement too high for most players, possibly locking them out for a long time. But for Wang Qi, it was just a matter of piecing together some high-attribute gear, not a particularly challenging task.

Moreover, this double-barreled shotgun wasn’t just high-damage, the most important aspect was that it unlocked an epic-level job quest. Completing it would grant access to an epic-level hidden profession.

One of the reasons for Wang Qi’s hesitation was that he had already nearly completed the promotion quest for the Eagle Eye Marksman he wanted to take up. To use the epic weapon and obtain the matching epic-level hidden profession that came with it, he would have to abandon his previous progress and start over. Besides, the hidden profession’s promotion quest was likely to be even more challenging than that of the Eagle Eye Marksman.

While Wang Qi hesitated at the City Lord Mansion, Song Jian had arrived at the central library of the city. He had visited this “New Media Library” before. A doctor named Kang Lin had informed him that when he reached first-order combat power, he would receive a quest related to his profession.

But Song Jian had never visited. Today, taking advantage of the opportunity to look up information on the Sword Sect and Imperial Sword Sect, he decided to see what kind of profession quest Dr. Kang Lin had prepared for him.

“Dr. Kang Lin resigned and left the library two months ago to travel. As for where he went, sorry, we don’t know that…” The receptionist said apologetically to Song Jian after he asked about Dr. Kang Lin.

“What, he’s already left?” Song Jian said, somewhat surprised.

Just a few months ago, the City of Hope wasn’t even established, and it faced constant threat of monster sieges and destruction. Why had Dr. Kang Lin been willing to stay in the City of Hope then, but decided to leave after it unified Doomsday City and living conditions had improved?

“Eh, our Lord of the City, what brings you here today?” A voice called out from behind Song Jian.

Song Jian turned around and saw that it was Priest Cecilia. Dressed in a white robe and holding two books, she looked at him with interest.

“It’s Priest Cecilia, hello, may the Goddess of Dawn forever protect you!” After bowing to Cecilia, Song Jian said with a smile, “I’m pleased to see you here. Shouldn’t you be at the Dawn Temple at this time? Why are you here?”

“I don’t need to stay in the temple all the time. I came here to look up some information!” Cecilia, not wearing her priestly vestments, appeared much livelier, like a normal NPC girl. She shook the two books in her hand at Song Jian, smiling brightly.

“Likewise, I came here to look up some information. By the way, I heard that Dr. Kang Lin has left this place? Do you know about this?” Song Jian asked.

“Of course, I heard that one of Dr. Kang Lin’s good friends discovered an ancient ruin outside, related to the ancient God of War, Tonas, and invited him to unearth this site. He also invited me to go along, but I declined!” Cecilia shrugged and said, “I am a Priestess of the Goddess of Dawn, how could I go and dig through the relics of other deities?”

“An ancient God of War?” Song Jian’s mind raced. Could it be that Dr. Kang Lin wanted him to find him after reaching the first tier of Combat Power for this ancient God of War’s ruin?

“Tonas was the most tragic of the ancient Gods of War, what’s the point in excavating his ruins? I really don’t know what Dr. Kang Lin was thinking,” Cecilia said with a pout. “Over tens of thousands of years, there have been a dozen deities who have obtained the position of God of War, some weak, some strong. But the only one who was brought down from the divine altar by mortals was Tonas alone, truly a disgrace to the gods. My goddess has said more than once that Tonas disgraced the title of God of War!”

“A dozen Gods of War?” Song Jian exclaimed in surprise. “How come there are so many? Isn’t it said that each divine position is occupied by only one deity?”

“No helping it, the God of War is the most unique among all divine positions. Those who have obtained it tend to fall particularly fast, which seems to have become a curse!” Cecilia shrugged nonchalantly, even wearing a hint of mockery on her face. It appeared that Cecilia always maintained an indifferent attitude towards the jokes of other deities, with no ounce of respect.

Song Jian shook his head and casually said, “Who could be so mighty, a mortal no less, to slay a deity, and moreover, one who possessed divine combat powers?”

“It is said to be a super sword sect that has existed for tens of thousands of years, called the Imperial Sword Sect, yes, that’s it. The Sect Leader of the Imperial Sword Sect slew him. Tsk, this incident caused quite a stir in the Divine World and the mortal realm at the time. There was even a special divine conference held, where deities from all walks gathered to discuss this matter,” Cecilia explained.

“What, the Imperial Sword Sect?” Song Jian shivered, his purpose for visiting the library was to learn about the Imperial Sword Sect.

Song Jian hastily asked, “Can you tell me about the Imperial Sword Sect?”

Cecilia looked at Song Jian curiously and said, “That’s history from thousands of years ago, I have only seen this information in the texts of the Dawn Temple. The Imperial Sword Sect has long been obliterated by the united hands of the gods, vanished for thousands of years; why are you so interested in it?”

“It’s related to a task…” Song Jian said vaguely.

“Did you come to the library to find information about this as well?” Cecilia inquired.

“Yes,” Song Jian nodded and replied.

“The library is unlikely to have such information. Even if it does, it’s all vague or merely glossed over,” Cecilia stated. “Come with me to the Dawn Temple. With your status, you can consult some of the legendary scriptures, which will give you a more detailed understanding.”
