7. Contact with the wise man's hut map exploration degree increased by 60%
"Young dragon cub, tell me the knowledge you want."
Seeing that the other party had no ill intentions and did not intend to attack, Mo Cheng slowly relaxed. Although if a fight really started, the loser would not be the Oak Sage. The Oak Sage who had a name and face in the [Foreign Land] and also had a hair loss problem, his strength was at least at the sixth or even seventh level.
The knowledge of the Oak Sage is wealth, but if one possesses a large amount of knowledge without sufficient military force, the Oak Sage would have been used as firewood long ago.
Mo Cheng knew the rules of the Oak Sage. As a veteran player of [Foreign Land], he also knew a lot of secrets, so he was not afraid of not being able to pay the price.
"I need a route out of the forest from here, a safe route."
If he were to rely on his own perception to slowly draw a safe map from the inner ring to the outer ring of the Hel Forest, it would take several years. However, the Oak Sage would have no worries about this at all.
As for the fact that Luke the Oak Sage seemed to have discovered that he was an illegal immigrant in this world, Mo Cheng was not too worried. To put it nicely, creatures like the Oak Sage are not competitive with the world, but to put it bluntly, they don't care about anything else except exchanging knowledge.
Sometimes they even sit back and watch the development of certain events and record them silently, because history is also knowledge.
"This place is indeed not suitable for cubs to live in, especially cubs without sharp claws and fangs." Oak Sage Luke bent over, and looked closely at Mo Cheng. "Hmm... no claws, no fangs, and you look like a human. Did you not have the strength to break the eggshell when you were born? Were you born nearby? Are there any eggshells left? Can you show them to me? Let me check what type of dragon you are."
I don’t know if Oak Sage Luke seemed a little talkative because he hadn’t spoken in this place for a long time, or if Mo Cheng’s race surprised him so much that he asked a series of questions.
However, when Oak tapped Mo Cheng's forehead with a branch and transmitted to him information about a safe route from the inner ring of the Hel Forest to the outside, he chose to ignore the other party's words.
A detailed topographic map appeared in the brain, even with blue lines indicating safe routes, as well as the territories of various creatures and special organs that could be collected from their bodies.
Based on this map alone, the exploration rate of [Hell Forest] has soared by at least 60%.
After closing his eyes and silently digesting the map in his brain, Mo Cheng opened his eyes and said, "The unknown I want to exchange is..."
"Oh, no, no." Oak Sage Luke waved his branch, "The knowledge of your existence is enough to exchange for this map, although I don't mind knowing more about you."
Indeed, strictly speaking, there are no giant dragons on the continent of Khorvaire. All the dragons disappeared or were exterminated a thousand years ago or even earlier because of the [Dragon Rage Incident].
No one knows what happened back then, and the passage of time has long buried the truth of the past.
The only thing we know is that no dragons were seen after that, and the only people left in the world were the Dragonborn, who had dragon blood.
But it is not known whether it is the sequelae of the [Dragon Madness Incident] or the curse set by the dragon's enemies, [Dragonborn] will become stronger as they grow older, but the stronger the Dragonborn, the closer they are to madness.
Even a Dragonborn who does not actively become stronger will fall into madness as they age, and gain extremely powerful increases.
Once driven mad, a dragonborn will indiscriminately attack all life. According to records, there are even records of powerful dragonborn completely destroying an entire principality city.
Therefore, in the eyes of the people on the continent of Khorvaire, the Dragonborn are equivalent to a bomb whose fuse has already started to burn. Whoever gets close to it will be blown to a bloody mess, or simply be blown to death.
Dragonborn are equivalent to terrorists on the Khorvaire Road. In fact, if Mo Cheng remembers correctly, the Dragon Worship Church established by the Dragonborn should have some signs.
"Then..." Mo Cheng pushed up his glasses and said, "I want to obtain an Oak Blessing that can conceal the origin of my bloodline."
If the dragon bloodline in his body could be seen through by the Oak Sage, then it could naturally be seen through by others. Mo Cheng didn't want to wake up one day and find himself lying on the experimental table of a crazy magician.
Some notorious lunatics don't care at all that Mo Cheng is a unique copy, and they would first tear Mo Cheng into pieces to see how his internal organs work.
Moreover, some warlock families who are very good at playing around would definitely not mind adding a portion of pure-blooded dragon essence to their family's seed library. As far as Mo Cheng knows, there are several warlock families that can be called gene collectors on the continent of Kovare.
If he were to be discovered, Mo Cheng might be locked up in the basement as a family heirloom.
"You want the Oak Blessing?" Oak Sage Luke frowned, "That's not easy."
The oak blessing can give the blessed a layer of natural protection, which can theoretically cover up the dragon's aura on Mo Cheng. This is not groundless. Before the time travel, a demon assassin used the oak blessing to assassinate an elven night ranger in the forest.
A profession that can make the elves' perception keen was assassinated in the forest's home field, and the assassin was an assassin with demon blood. In the eyes of the elves, the smell of demon blood is the level of biochemical weapons that can be smelled from eight hundred miles away, and it is even like canned herrings in the forest. This is enough to illustrate the concealing ability of the oak blessing.
No matter how difficult it is to conceal dragon bloodline, it is not as difficult as hiding a demon-blooded assassin in the forest.
But the Blessing of Oak has another name, [Invitation to Valar]. Only those with the Blessing of Oak can get the opportunity to meet the Father of Oak - Valar.
According to the Oak Sage's principles, the unknown is exchanged for the unknown, and only when the Oak Sage's unknown is exhausted will he use the Oak Blessing in exchange.
This is both an invitation and a great honor.
Because this represents someone who has mastered more knowledge than the Oak Sage and is a symbol of a polymath.
But want to drain the Oak Sage's stock clean with unknown knowledge?
Many times, this behavior is equivalent to using the human brain to play chess with AlphaGo, winning ten pieces in each of three consecutive games.
That difficulty is not called "beating heaven by half a step", that is called dreaming the most enjoyable dream.
The blessing of oak can be obtained by trickery, but there are really few who can obtain it by truly following the Code of the Oak Sage.
"I thought I could give it a try, exchanging the unknown for the unknown."
As a veteran player, he did have a lot of unknown knowledge, but if he wanted to use up all of the Oak Sage's inventory...
Then we'll just have to bite the bullet and give it a try.
