Chapter 7: Inner Struggles
Kadak's doubts are definitely not without reason, maps, in fact, are very important, but they are not very important.
Precious maps, refers to those maps that point to undeveloped areas, or maps with rich resources, those are definitely the heirlooms of some urban families, unless the family perishes, otherwise no one will give you this resource that can support the rise of a family to dominate the world.
But maps are not precious, referring to the maps of the rotten earth. Just like in modern times, any map of China, a map of the world, you can find it in a random geography book, and it is completely worthless.
But if you look for the map of the distribution of resources, the map of the specific distribution of resources, you will not be able to find it, and it will be hidden by the government and businessmen.
And Kadak knew that Charles was only asking for ordinary maps, although these maps in his hand were indeed more comprehensive, and they were much more valuable than the maps sold by outside vendors, at least they would not be too wrong.
But Kadak doesn't think that these maps are worth provoking the devil, and to provoke the devil is to be prepared to lose his freedom and become the opponent's plaything.
Seeing the confusion in Kadak's eyes and a flash of vigilance, Charles knew that his reward was too easy, and many times it was like this, and if you asked too low, the other party would suspect whether you had bad intentions and what intentions you had for him.
But Charles said that he really has no bad intentions, and even the devil is not calculating people all the time. He only wanted the map to find a suitable excuse so that Artoria would not doubt his familiarity with the world.
After accepting the memories of her predecessor, Charles is no stranger to this world, and the knowledge inherited by the devil can definitely make her almost familiar with this world.
"Mr. Kadak, don't worry, I'm only making this request to facilitate my travel in the underworld. After all, the dangers of the underworld are well known, and the maps outside are not detailed and accurate, and sometimes a detailed and accurate map can save a life. Charles laughed and explained to Kadak that he didn't want to be a pathfinder for others, a marker to inform him of the danger.
Kadak nodded abruptly, it is true that the underground world is very dangerous, even if they are the aborigines who live here, sometimes they will get lost in the wild of the underground world, at this time, unless you are lucky, you basically can't go back, you can only become a missing person.
And at this time, a map is very important, accurate signs, so that you can find your way out, so as not to become food for the monsters of the underground world.
"But in that case, Mr. Charles will trouble you, if you have any other requests, and then you can mention them casually, and I will try to satisfy you." Kadak had an apologetic look on his face, as if Charlesty had asked too little and made him feel guilty.
But Charles, who knew the nature of the gray dwarf, knew very well that if he really offered a high reward, the city lord of Chiyan City would definitely be very unhappy in his heart, and the other party wished that he would not mention the reward. If it weren't for the fear that his origin would be unknown, and he was wary of himself, Kadak would never have asked him why he only needed such a small reward.
However, after a few gossips with Kadak without care, Charles left Red Rock City with Artoria in his hand, taking the payment paid by Kadak in advance, a few maps of the underworld, and some information.
After walking out of the city and passing the map information to Artoria, Artoria looked at Charles with a shocked face.
"Teacher, this world is too big, if you calculate according to this map and data description, then my previous world is just a small plane." Artoria shook her head in disbelief, she didn't want to believe in the great achievements of her hard work, the Tanari Demon in this world had already been completed for hundreds of millions of years, and people had already fought the world and conquered the multiverse, although they failed
But Artoria's ideals are really not the same thing in the eyes of these demons, and people have long looked down on this little challenge. Of course, if Artoria is like the main plane of this world, the demon will also be of some interest.
The main plane, as the main material plane of this world, the bottomless abyss, the nine layers of hell, and the kingdom of God above the clouds are all attached to this plane, and the four-element world turns into a barrier to separate the main plane from the endless chaos outside, and the endless starry sky turns into a protective shield of the world, which is also the manifestation of the fate of all people in this world.
Whether it is the devils and demons in the lower planes, or the gods in the upper planes, they all aspire to be able to completely dominate the entire physical plane, but unfortunately, no god has such strength, not even those ancient gods who have survived since the creation of the world.
And the world of Artoria, which is very idle, is just an ordinary small plane in the endless starry sky, and the Tanari demon does not know how many such planes have been conquered.
This made Artoria's heart suddenly burst into a sense of confusion and decadence, her lifelong ideal of being willing to sacrifice her life for it, in the eyes of the other party, was just a small thing that had been completed a long time ago and was not taken into account, which made Artoria difficult to accept.
Charles, noticing the change in the expression on Artoria's face, immediately understood what Artoria was thinking, and put his hand on Artoria's head, causing the girl to wake up from her mind and look up at Charles.
"Artoria, the human demons are probably the most populous race in this world, their population is hundreds of millions, and their demonic power is also the strongest race in this world." Charles's faint tone soothed the fluctuations in Artoria's heart.
"What's more, the height of the plane is different, Artoria Before you came to this world, did you know that there was such a vast world outside your world, so don't be too depressed. Since I feel that my ideal has been surpassed by others, and I feel that my vision was too narrow before, why not open my eyes and work this bigger stage. ”
Artoria's blue eyes flashed with a glowing look, this vast and majestic world did make her body's blood begin to boil, but her heart thought of the people in her homeland who were still struggling in the flames of war, her blood began to slowly cool, and her eyes suddenly became gloomy.
"Teacher, the people of Great Britain are still waiting for me, they are still struggling in the war, and their safety still needs to be guarded by me, I can't"
Charles's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this, knowing that Artoria had just begun to loosen, and was about to be suppressed by the obsession in her heart.
"Artoria, this does not hinder us, isn't our goal to increase our power in this world. Whether you're looking to improve your skills or recruit and train soldiers, we're all going to challenge the world, so you don't have to worry too much. ”
Artoria was slightly stunned, although she didn't know what was wrong with Charles's words, but she always felt that something was wrong, but her heart was yearning, and she nodded involuntarily.
