St. Martin seemed enthusiastic as soon as he came up: "Hi! Dear Richard, it's really a pleasure to see you again after so long. Although I know very well that you, as a guy, will definitely not have any good things as long as you come to me. Let's talk about it, what are your requirements this time?"

"I need information about the dark side of the world." Richard said directly.

St. Martin's smile froze immediately, and then he said in a pissy voice: "Do you really think I am almighty?"

“Aren’t some surprises often found in the church’s treasure house?”

St. Martin snorted and said, "But it is possible to find it! I am not like you, I have faith! Do you understand the meaning of faith? Faith is the most sacred and least uncontradictory thing! My faith is light, so anything related to the dark side of the world will not be touched. Therefore, there is no possibility of anything related to the dark side of the world in the secret library of the church."

Richard was suddenly a little disappointed. If St. Martin didn't know, then there was only one way to the Millennium Empire.

St. Martin calmed down a little and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask about the dark side of the world? As far as I know, it is just a legend. There is no evidence to prove that the dark side of the world really exists."

Richard said: "I have a definite reason to believe that my teacher, Su Helen, was lost in the dark side of the world. But her passage to the dark side of the world was closed at that time, so I wanted to find a new way to the dark side of the world."

Marting was shocked: "Are you crazy? We are all living things on this side of light. If we go to the dark side, it will be like a water element creature entering the fire element plane! Don't say whether you can go in, even if you go in, you won't live long!"

"Let me find a way." Richard ignored St. Martin's advice at all.

"How could I have a way?" Martin said with some anger, he was walking around in place, like an ant on a hot pan.

"I owe you a favor," Richard added.

Martin waved his hand hard and said angrily: "Go and go! If you go to the dark side of the world, you will definitely go without returning. This favor will be of no use at that time! Besides, do you owe me less favors?"

Martin swears with a rare swear word. Outside his bad attitude, Richard felt that he was not hiding so well. Richard sighed in his heart, but he still looked at Martin calmly on his face.

St. Martin had gone around for a few times before he made up his mind and said, "Okay! I will help you think of a solution, but don't have too much hope. There are some fragmented records about the dark side of the world, so you'd better go to the Thousand Years Empire to think of a solution. I once saw a period of history. It is said that during the heyday of the Elf Empire, a large-scale exploration of the dark side of the world was organized. So there may be answers you need on the Cangqing Continent. But you also know that those high elves are all madmen. The first move they see is to attack any life that is not of the same kind."

"Cangqing Continent? OK, I understand."

Martin's expression suddenly became very exciting, almost shouting at Richard: "Isn't my meaning clear enough? I'm talking about the Thousand Years Empire, not the Cangqing Continent! Those high elves are already crazy, and you have no chance of getting any information about the dark side of the world from them! They don't need to exchange anything with you at all!"

Richard replied lightly: "If they refuse, I will find a way to make them willing! But I promise you that you will try it in the Thousand Years Empire first. If I get the answer, I will not take the risk to the Cangqing Continent."

Martin's face looked a little better, he snorted, and said, "What else is there? Judging from your appearance, you haven't finished speaking!"

Richard smiled and said, "Indeed, I want to challenge the Pope in the near future."

"Are you crazy?" St. Martin looked at Richard in confusion.

Richard shook his head and said, "I just want to solve all the troubles as much as possible before leaving. And challenging the Pope can also verify some of my conjectures."

St. Martin pondered for a while and said, "But I don't think this challenge is necessary. And I haven't finalized the real purpose of this old guy, nor did I figure out whether he is a friend or an enemy. I don't want to turn him into a real enemy unless it is absolutely necessary. In addition, he is very dangerous."

Richard frowned and said, "I'm in danger, too."

Martin spread his hands helplessly and said, "This way, I can arrange for you to meet. There is no need to fight, and meeting and chatting can achieve the goal."

Richard thought for a while and said, "Yes."

Martin sighed and said, "I heard that you just won the Queen of Indefinite. But that's because your ability just happened to restrain her, it doesn't mean that your strength can also overwhelm other people. At least I have a sense that the old Pope may be restraining you. You can see him and have a good chat. In addition, you have a lot of trouble yourself, so you should make more preparations, there is no need to make enemies from all sides."

Richard nodded and then cut off the communication with St. Martin.

The light of the magic circle gradually dimmed, and Richard stood quietly and thought. When Martin said his last sentence, he had a sudden premonition, and he might soon encounter an unavoidable crisis, so he had to use the ability of divine grace teleportation to go to the Dark Realm.

At that time, Liusha once specifically pointed out that Richard had to defeat the Pope before he could go to the Dark Realm. This may have a deep meaning. No matter what, he had to fight with the Pope before he could understand it.

After returning to the study, Richard thought silently, but was still a little unwilling to give up, so he set out for the Royal Mage Society.

The collection of books in the Mage Association is the richest in Noland, which is comparable to the secret library of the palace. However, the palace was almost completely destroyed in the battle between Richard and Wuding. Because it was a collision between the two major rules of order and chaos, even the protective array that could resist the ninth-level magic was not spared and was destroyed. This was a loss that Richard did not expect.

Old Thor generously agreed to Richard's request and opened the library to him. Of course, he also had a "small" request, which was to buy Richard a fifth-level magic weapon.

Thor gave the price not low, but if the magic weapon appeared at the auction, it might not be that much. Richard agreed to Thor's conditions, but only put the time for the construction payment a year later. Old Thor didn't care about this time, and was overjoyed to send Richard to the library in person.

Richard spent a whole day in the library and quickly browsed the more than a thousand precious collections secretly stored here. As expected, there are very few records about the dark side of the world here, and the only few narratives are also unclear.

When Richard read it, he felt that this was more of a fantasy and conjecture than what he had actually seen and heard from people who had actually been to the dark side of the world.

In the end, Richard walked out of the Mage Society Library with disappointment. If no knowledge about the dark side of the world was found here, there might not be any of the entire Holy Alliance.

After returning to the study, Richard's eyes fell on the Thousand Years Empire. It seems that he had to run to the Thousand Years Empire once. In ancient times, the Elf Empire had explored the dark side of the world, so there may be records of the dark side of the world in the Thousand Years Empire that inherited more than half of the legacy of the Elf Empire.

Richard immediately called a servant mage and asked him to publish a message: The Archmond family will acquire a magic fleet, requiring it to cross the ocean and arrive at the Cangqing Continent!

Such a fleet must be composed of at least five magical giant ships, with a total value of about ten top-level offerings. Richard is preparing to acquire it directly. If it is really impossible to buy it, he will order a brand new magical warship from the Dragon Blood Dwarfs.

If there is still no information about the dark side of the world in the Millennium Empire, Richard will go to the Cangqing Continent to find the descendants of the High Elves.

After arranging the acquisition of the magic fleet, Richard entered the Star Clan's library again and continued to read the unsealed dictionary. When he entered the library, Richard suddenly thought, would the ancient Star Clan be inferior to Norland's elves empire, and there was no knowledge about the dark side of the world?

He immediately began to examine the books that had not been unsealed one by one. As he looked, Richard suddenly stopped in front of a stone carved with mysterious patterns.

This stone is condensed with the power of the Chaos Divine Word, which records the achievements of the ancient star tribes exploring the dark side of the world!

Richard was both surprised and happy. Of course, there was news about the dark side of the world, and astonished was the conditions required to unblock this stone. This stone was placed in the fifth level guard, second only to the highest ball of light. This level is two levels higher than the books Su Helen can read at the moment!

The book that unblocks the fourth level requires level 30. Richard estimates that unblocking the secrets on this stone may require you to reach level 33 by yourself! This means that the rules contained in this stone book are too strong and you must have the strength of level 33 to read this book.

This is also a hint, meaning that the ancient star tribe believes that only by reaching level 33 or above can they be qualified to go to the dark side of the world to explore.

After reaching this conclusion, Richard stood quietly for a long time and then left the library.

At this moment, Richard's anxiety had disappeared, replaced by absolute rationality and coldness. He finally understood the danger of the dark side of the world, and knew that with his current strength, he would not only not be able to save Su Hailun, but also likely to trap himself in.

Reason told Richard that the best way now is to find a way to safely enter the dark side of the world, and to raise your power to the point where you can explore the dark side of the world relatively safely, and then consider entering the dark side of the world.

Richard's only hope now is that the scene Lao Long showed him was right. Su Hailun was just sleeping and drifting in the void, rather than being killed and destroyed.
