The World-Class Extra’s Walkthrough - Chapter 282

Episode 282

: Secret History (4)

The Great Temple of Quatras, known as the ‘cradle of intelligence’ to the people of the empire.

It was located in a rugged area in the west that could only be reached by riding a horse for three full days from Kertion.

But I was able to fly quickly on Vinocaras.

On this journey, he was accompanied by Terkiod, who had finally completed his second molt and had become a quasi-star dragon.

[Currently, the dragon ‘Terkiod’ is in a deep sleep.]

[Be careful not to force it to wake up.]

The process of shedding its skin must have been quite difficult, so when I visited it, it was fast asleep.

So, I decided to put it in my inventory first.

The little witch also begged for it.

In fact, even at this very moment, Tyrvaen’s nagging was piercing my ears.

– As I said, disciple, he needs rest, so don’t touch him.

-It’s not that Dongryong is weak, but because he is a red dragon and is large, it was very difficult to escape.

-Are you listening to me now?

-Disciple!

Oh, it’s noisy.

This was because the clan communication function returned as the war search party was restored.

I made some modifications here.

The communication function was improved by adding insight gained while examining Gigastaric’s magic.

Then, it became possible to send and receive messages regardless of distance and with little to no magical power.

-You can hear right now, but you’re just pretending not to hear, right?

-It looks like His Majesty Sui is busy with his flight. I’ll tell you a little later.

-Hmm, then is that so? How did Lord Silion spend his day? Didn’t the fake disciple cause trouble?

-Today, I was sparring with my seniors who were supervising the reconstruction of the Emperor’s Palace…

As a result, Kals and Tyrbaen were chatting excitedly.

For the first time in a while, I remembered Jukchang.

‘You were very excited. I will start a house soon. I really won’t pay the congratulatory money.’

It was to the point where I regretted modifying the communication function just for this purpose.

Anyway, I was planning to let Terkiod rest for a while.

In any case, unlike Vinokharas, this guy had not learned ‘word transformation’, so it was not possible to have a conversation right away.

“Pi Yong, let’s land there.”

“huh!”

We landed in the middle of the wilderness.

A huge temple stood on the other side of the wind-whipped red sand.

The great temple of Quatras, the god of learning.

The building stood alone, like a giant torturing itself in a barren landscape.

“Dad, what can I learn from the god of learning? Magic? Or knowledge?”

It was a question from Vinokharas, who polymorphed into human form for the first time in a while.

I laughed quietly.

“You can learn anything there.”

“huh? Anything…? No, how can that be? “Do you know everything in the world?”

“Because he is the god of learning. But you have to pay a price. “You can only obtain knowledge by paying a price commensurate with its value.”

“what. “Then isn’t he the god of money, not learning?”

I think that might be right.

I ruffled Vinocaras’ hair and started walking slowly.

“A little knowledge can be paid for. However, for rare knowledge that is difficult to learn elsewhere, you have to pay for it with more valuable knowledge.”

“Oh knowledge upon knowledge?”

“yes.”

“Hmm.”

Vinokharas tilted his head.

It was natural.

It would feel a bit strange to share my knowledge and gain other knowledge.

It seemed like he didn’t know if it was the right deal.

I pointed out the parts he didn’t understand.

“Once I make a deal with Quatras, one piece of knowledge is erased from my mind. Blurry, like I saw it in a dream.”

“…!”

Only then did a light of astonishment appear in the dragon girl’s eyes.

I chuckled.

This place was originally like this.

‘In the original game, it was a place where you could retrieve the skill points you had already invested, erase the original skill, and learn a new skill.’

It was a useful place for players, but for actual believers, it was like a place where advanced knowledge was taken away little by little.

Vinokharas, who was deep in thought, clicked his tongue.

“Dad, I’ve felt it before, but the gods in the heavenly world seem really mean. Were you born to harass people on earth?”

“That’s right.”

I agreed.

Meanwhile, we arrived at the entrance of the Great Temple.

“Piyong, follow behind your father from now on. Don’t say anything. “It’s important, so remember it well and never break it.”

“yea, I got it. “But why is that like that?”

“I’ll show you that later.”

It was a bit difficult to explain.

It would be better to show it in person.

We moved closer, pressing down on the hood of our cloak.

Then the priest standing in front of the door put his hands together and opened his mouth.

“Welcome to the Temple of Learning. “I hope you have time to find your way.”

I lowered my head without saying a word.

And then he took long strides and approached the door.

The priest’s gaze seemed to follow for a moment, but soon left.

And the moment the door opened.

“Now Piyong….”

“Huh? library!”

“…Yeah, I thought so.”

A huge library made of numerous bookshelves appeared.

It was a book maze made of bookshelves that reached to the ceiling.

However, the maze changed its shape as it appeared, emitting a flash of light.

-You have to be quiet in the library. got it?

-Hmm, it’s like this….

Vinokharas scratched his head.

The condition required of players at the Temple of Learning was ‘absolute silence.’

Basically, it was a library that took the form of a maze, but whenever someone spoke, the spatial arrangement was randomly mixed up.

That’s why I asked Vinocaras in advance not to say anything.

-From now on, you can’t really raise your voice. It gets annoying when the shapes get mixed up.

-If the mazes are mixed, you can’t get out, right?

-No, you can come out, but it’s a hassle.

The internal structure of this library maze also had regularity.

I didn’t have to wander for long because I had the pattern memorized.

However, there was no need to create trouble for no reason, so I controlled my voice in advance.

-Don’t be distracted and follow me closely.

-huh!

As I walked with Vinokharas, I thought about the ‘temple of learning.’

While the revolutionary army had ‘Aeolem’, the god of vengeance, and ‘Kisiris’, the goddess of deception, the empire had ‘Quatras’, the god of learning, and ‘Pythano’, the god of challenge.

Among them, Quatras had such a great presence that he was considered the main god of the empire.

This is because it governs the concept of ‘learning’, which is deeply related to magic skills.

‘But he also reigns for his own benefit and interest, not for the sake of his followers.’

He was similar to Aeolem.

Should we say they are a bit more sneaky and mean-spirited?

In this temple, there were many quests related to the god, and ‘Prophet Syndrome’ was one of them.

< Prophet Syndrome >

[Event] Strange blessings began to be given to people who were not familiar with magic. Those who have experienced a special shock have a unique ability to temporarily predict the future.

However, this was not a blessing, but a curse and a disease. The physical and mental health of the prophets began to gradually deteriorate, as if they were paying the price for their abilities. Now you must find a way to save the dying.

‘The standard strategy is to visit the priests of Quatras, listen to all their requests, and learn how to make a cure.’

But things were different for me now.

I wasn’t here to solve Prophet Syndrome, but to investigate Vareshan, who suffered from it.

If my prediction was correct, the record should have been left here.

‘Quatras is a god with a very petty temperament. And seeing the future is definitely a type of knowledge.’

He was a god who would not stand by and allow humans to enjoy ‘knowledge’ without his permission.

That is why the priests of learning were responsible for curing the prophet syndrome that had spread throughout the continent.

This temple of learning preserves all kinds of records as it adopts the concept of a library.

If Emperor Bareshan really suffered from Prophet Syndrome, the records of his treatment should have been left here.

I have made some preparations to view the records.

‘If you bribe the priests, you can access various records for a relatively cheap price.’

As mentioned before, it could be money or knowledge.

As a player, I had a ton of knowledge to trade with.

There is no need to follow the beaten path, so just take the side road quickly.

‘Now, if you turn this way from here, a hunchbacked priest appears…?’

I planned to target the humans who were the most greedy among the priests first.

But then Vinokharas stopped.

-Dad, someone is coming.

-…!

I felt it too.

A heavy presence approaches you as you skip through the complex library maze without hesitation.

In this place where space magic was limited, there was only one person who could approach using teleportation.

Archbishop of the Quatras Church.

‘Edvik Rondel.’

Pot!

The old man who jumped through space and appeared in front of me had a stern expression on his face for some reason.

And then he suddenly opened his mouth towards me.

“Welcome visitor.”

‘Holy shit.’

Papad!

Flashes of light shot up in all directions of the library, turning the maze upside down.

Vinokharas stuck out his tongue behind his back.

-Wow crazy. The whole road has really changed, right? This is really amazing magic. I’ll have to apply it someday when I build a rare.

-Let’s talk about that when we build a rare.

Why does that old man come out and disturb me?

First, I put my hands together and greeted the other person.

“Hello, Archbishop. “It’s an honor to meet you.”

The library maze flipped once again, but there was no need to worry as the paths were already tangled.

Edvik Rondel glanced at me and Vinocaras, then scratched his wrinkled cheek.

Then he smiled with an ambiguous temperature that seemed neither a smile nor a cynicism.

“I just received word. “He said that when you two come, you must meet them in person.”

“What?”

“In other words, it is also called divine speech. “These are the words of Quatras.”

“….”

-Oh, I know this. I saw it before. When I was a hatchling, that goddess was whining to my dad to marry me…

Is this the story about that crazy goddess again?

I silently looked back at Vinocaras and covered his mouth.

Then, I looked at Edvik Rondel and organized my thoughts.

‘The god of learning was already watching me?’

If so, the original plan had no choice but to be modified.

It was impossible to reject Quatras, the owner of this place, and deal with low-ranking priests.

I took a step forward, feeling strangely anxious.

“It is an honor to be able to see the God of learning in person. “I will follow.”

I’m sure I’ll never receive a marriage proposal from a masculine godhead.

I hope it’s not like that.

Edvik Rondel nodded slightly.

“Then I will take you there. Please come in.”

The moment when the archbishop took out a book from his chest and opened it.

All the books in the library rose into the air and started pouring out their individual pages at once, creating a new space.

I heard the school bell ringing from somewhere.

A system message comes up along with it.

[Entered the ‘Teaching Room’, the sanctuary of the Quatras Church.] It

was a space with a blackboard and teaching room installed in the front, and about a dozen desks and chairs arranged at different angles.

Quatras was sitting in his boyish form and looking at me.

“Hello? I wish you had come alone.”

“….”

An ominous feeling passes over the back of my head.

I faced him, thinking that it was probably not true.
