The intelligence department in Lost Paradise is quite different from other places; it doesn't have any fancy decorations, only simple single rooms.

Every warlock who wants to have a consultation makes an appointment with the puppet at the front desk and pays a deposit before receiving service from a dedicated person.

Xu Nan consulted with the puppeteer and found that the intelligence fees were outrageously high.

He originally wanted to ask a death-defying question like "Who is the easiest god to kill in the Pro World?" but the puppet told him that information about the World God Kingdom starts at ten million Constant Gold Coin!

Alright, Xu Nan looked at the less than 600,000 Constant Gold Coin in his pocket and sheepishly chose the most targeted intelligence business.

Soon, Inflatable Puppet dressed in white silk maid outfits led Xu Nan into a private room.

Looking at the ambiguous lighting and the super soundproofing around him, Xu Nan wondered if he had come to the wrong place!

"Mr. Xu Nan, is that right? It's not uncommon to see fellow countrymen from Earth."

"Employee ID 304 is at your service. You're looking for information about the evil god system, right? I'll get it for you."

Inside the room, a handsome young man had been waiting for some time.

"This is your membership level in MI7. Please keep it safe." 304 handed over a card.

Xu Nan took it and saw a large "0" drawn on it. The original artwork looked somewhat familiar.

He looked at it for a while, then suddenly remembered, "Isn't this the original artwork for the Rogue's 0-cost spell 'Backstab' in Hearthstone?"

Xu Nan pondered, "MI7? Backstab? Doesn't this feel a bit too familiar..."

304 smiled and said, "We copied it."

Xu Nan: "..."

Xu Nan was shocked that he admitted to plagiarism so readily.

"Ever since Pro World made contact with Earth, our big boss has really taken a liking to two Earth games: World of Warcraft and Hearthstone. Well, what can we do? The big boss likes them, so we just used them!"

304 maintained a very professional smile, "You are currently a Level 0 member, and your artwork is [Backstab]. Once you have spent enough Constant Gold Coin, you can upgrade your level. Each level has a different artwork, and the higher the level, the higher your privileges."

Xu Nan thought for a moment, "So the highest level is level 10?"

After all, he had played Hearthstone before, where spells cost a maximum of ten mana.

304 nodded. "That's right, the original artwork for the Level 10 VIP members is the most valuable; it's the gold version of [Pyroblast]."

Xu Nan scratched his head. "That's really a fitting description."

Let's skip the small talk.

Xu Nan's main purpose in coming to Lost Paradise was to find out exactly what the followers of Tiamat were planning to do!

He noticed that there were countless cells behind 304, and each cell contained a scroll that should have recorded relevant intelligence.

When 304 was serving Xu Nan, there was an unopened scroll on the table, the contents of which were unknown.

After Xu Nan made his intentions clear, 304 estimated the price and gave a quote:

"... At present, Lost Paradise does not know much about Earth and its infiltration is insufficient, so it cannot provide cross-world intelligence; if it is just intelligence about the Pro World, the price is 20 Constant Gold Coin."

The price was reasonable, but Xu Nan was still a bit conflicted.

Asking the evil god himself about matters would definitely be more expensive, costing at least several million; but Xu Nan inquired about the believers' plans, which was much cheaper.

But cheap is relative; it still costs over 200,000 Constant Gold Coin. Xu Nan's money didn't come from thin air; he earned it through hard work and staged accidents... Ugh, anyway, making money isn't easy!

"Forget it, money can be earned back. Let's figure out what these Cultists want to do first so we can gain the upper hand. Otherwise, we might capsize in a ditch and end up kneeling in the Riverbend, which would be a huge loss."

Xu Nan ultimately decided to purchase the relevant intelligence.

Two hundred thousand Constant Gold Coin vanished instantly.

304 stood up and began searching for relevant information in the cabinet behind him, while Xu Nan waited patiently.

Not long after, 304 came over with a smile, holding a scroll:

"Here, Mr. Xu Nan, this is for you..."

Before the words were even finished, the entire Lost Paradise suddenly trembled!

The room suddenly went dark!

Xu Nan felt an indescribable tremor in his heart. He could feel that his Bloodline Power was suddenly unable to support him to continue wandering aimlessly in the Lost Paradise!

He instinctively reached out with both hands and grabbed a scroll in the darkness.

The next second, with a whoosh, he was back in Leomund's Hut.

Xu Nan stared blankly at the system, and suddenly realized that all the system panels had turned gray!

There's a feeling of emptiness!

Fortunately, everything returned to normal after a minute. Lost Paradise sent an emergency notification that a system bug had just been fixed, so everyone was assured that there was no need to panic!

Xu Nan had some doubts.

"Lost Paradise has been really unreliable lately, it keeps having problems!"

Xu Nan couldn't help but complain, but the next second, he suddenly froze.

Because he held a scroll in each of his two hands, one on the left and one on the right.

Lost Paradise, a routine meeting.

"Urgent report: The First Energy Base has been attacked by a mysterious organization!"

"Based on the analysis of the traces at the scene, someone used the spell [Ten Thousand Hells Thunder Citadel] repeatedly, causing severe damage to the First Energy Base of Lost Paradise. Although the situation has been temporarily stabilized after emergency repairs, several subsystems of Lost Paradise are currently paralyzed. If they are not repaired in time, the consequences could be dire!"

"The worst situation is in the basement of the Great Library, where many Magic Book have started to go berserk!"

As a series of distressing messages arrived, the warlocks at the daily meeting made decisions swiftly and efficiently with serious expressions!

Using the Ten Thousand Hells Thunder Citadel spell on their territory is tantamount to provocation.

The bigwigs in their daily meetings ordered everyone to find suspicious individuals.

Loss mitigation measures must also be implemented immediately at the school.

As for the rampaging Magic Book, everyone is having a headache!

Fortunately, at this moment, the three great legends finally arrived, albeit belatedly.

Such a terrible thing happened in Lost Paradise, they really couldn't not come.

The Lion King remained arrogant and confident.

Almuses remained veiled, but her exquisite figure alone was enough to drive anyone wild.

Mr. Luo Mang strode over:

"I'll handle the matter of the Magic Book. The Holy Festival is coming soon anyway, so let's give the young people a chance."

The Lion King nodded. "I will fix the problems with the other subsystems as soon as possible."

"As for the enemy, Almuses, you should be fine with that, right?"

"Oh ho ho ho!"

The usually gentle and dignified Almuses suddenly burst into a maniacal laugh, "Of course I'm fine! In fact, I've already found the suspect!"

"Because I was the one who released that Thunder Ten Thousand Hells Thunder Citadel, hahaha!"

Everyone was speechless.

"Lord Almuses, please be mindful of the occasion if you're going to act crazy!"

Almuses suddenly sneered, "None of you believe me? You're all idiots after all. Fine, believe it or not."

"Anyway, they were bored, so they threw the Ten Thousand Hells Thunder Citadel into the Lost Paradise to test its sturdiness, and also to test your reaction ability and emergency measures."

"Now it seems... ho ho ho!"

One of the members of the Daily Council couldn't help but ask, "How does it look now?"

Almuses lazily walked toward the Lion King:

"... It seems your sense of humor needs improvement! I recommend you check out Earth's lame jokes."

The meeting left everyone feeling dejected.

The Lion King and Almuses had already left, and it wasn't until they were alone that Almuses revealed his hideous face:

"Fifty million!"

The Lion King reluctantly paid fifty million Constant Gold Coin.

"Hmph, I won't take the blame for you next time!" Almuses took the money and happily prepared to slip away. "What kind of bloodline does your brat have? Stealing underwear one minute and casting spells the next, he never seems to stop?"

The Lion King was heartbroken:

"I also think there's something wrong. Lina's bloodline is nothing like mine! I don't steal things, and I hate lightning magic..."

Almuses suddenly interjected, "Let's get a parentage test."

The atmosphere became quite awkward.

After a long pause, the Lion King touched his forehead and solemnly nodded the change.

Lina, who was tucked under his arm, gave him a good look and continued to play with the newly acquired "Under the King".

Xu Nan is feeling a bit guilty now. Just now, when he was trying to get his information in the Black Room, he accidentally grabbed another scroll.

In his right hand was information about the recent movements of the followers of the evil god Tiamat; in his left hand was a scroll with a blank title, but it should contain words.

Based on the principle of "might as well take a look if you don't want to," Xu Nan decided to open it and see what it was like, but unfortunately, he was a little annoyed when he opened it.

This is all written in Dragon Language, which Xu Nan doesn't know yet!

He could only see his own scroll, which roughly described the recent activities of the Tiamat followers:

It is said that the Green Light Church, founded by Tiamat, has a new archbishop.

As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean, and this guy was no exception. He started causing trouble as soon as he took office!

He gathered more than ten thousand believers in a major city in a secondary plane.

They paid an unimaginable price, losing countless believers' lives, to get hundreds of believers to the Riverbend.

The purpose, however, was to find a mysterious artifact.

The scroll mentions that there are three main leaders in this operation: the Divine Art Master A Kai, the blade wizard Leonard, and the Gospel Propagator Ri.

These three are the most troublesome.

Xu Nan silently memorized the information. To be fair, this information was quite valuable, as its level of detail made one wonder if there was a mole among the Cultists, possibly Ron Sorcerer.

"That archbishop has paid such a high price; he probably won't give up until he achieves his goal. Sitting here and waiting to die is definitely not going to work."

"It seems we need to find out what they're looking for!"

At this moment, Xu Nan regretted his hasty decision to kill the guy who was building the altar with a fireball.

At that time, how could he have known there would be so many troubles?

Xu Nan felt a little irritated, so to relieve his irritation, he started drawing lots.

Congratulations! You have obtained one Black Ant Antennae, which costs 100 Activity Points.

Congratulations! You have obtained one Black Ant Antennae, which costs 100 Activity Points.

Congratulations! You have obtained one Black Ant Antennae, which costs 100 Activity Points.

Snap!

A heavy object struck Xu Nan on the forehead, and blood immediately began to flow from his forehead.

Xu Nan touched the blood and immediately became angry:

"Where are the good Black Ant Antennae? Are you throwing things at me because you can't gather enough materials?"

He looked down and saw a strange apple on the ground.

[Golden Apple (Pending Identification)]

Xu Nan was stunned for a moment; the automatic lottery was still going on.

Splash!

A series of Golden Apple then descended, successfully knocking Xu Nan unconscious before he could achieve enlightenment like Newton!

Several hours later, Xu Nan slowly woke up.

He ignored the Golden Apple and instead opened the system's complaint section.

"Heh, are you trying to force me to write again?"

Xu Nan sneered.

...!
