"Oh?"
Standing nearby, Zong Shen took in every change in Penny's expression.
What had shocked her so much?
And from the looks of it, she seemed to have seen the black gloves before.
"What is it, Penny?"
He took the initiative to ask.
Penny slowly raised her head, then removed the black gloves.
"My lord, I once saw a book in the city's library."
"That book recorded a story about the Fools."
As soon as she said this, Zong Shen became intrigued.
"You mean there was a book that recorded matters concerning the Fools?"
"Yes. It mentioned that a sage among the Fools created the black gloves."
"As long as one wore the black gloves, even someone without talent for spellcasting could pluck the strings of magic."
"Powerful Fools could dismantle all spells."
"Lively magic was like a toy in their hands."
Penny respectfully returned the [Fool's Black Gloves (Low-Tier Demigod Grade)] to Zong Shen.
Listening to her answer, Zong Shen took the gloves and put them back on.
"What was that book called?"
He was rather curious why the books of the Endless Continent would record the Fools.
After all, according to the background information provided by the Strategy Module, in a certain world, Fools specifically referred to dull-witted people without talent for spellcasting.
It was clear that, in the world of the Fools, spellcasters had once been an overwhelmingly powerful presence.
Merely lacking talent for spellcasting was enough to earn one the derogatory title of "Fool."
But later on, the Fools had clearly turned the tables.
The black gloves' abilities were powerful enough that, so long as one studied them diligently and mastered them proficiently, they could be used to counter the vast majority of known magic.
Thus, the title "Fool" was more like a form of self-mockery.
