Chapter 004: Exchanging Knowledge

However, Wang Bo was not discouraged by this.

Although he could not consult the Ancient One, he could consult another powerful being who was well-versed in both ancient and modern knowledge.

The demon god, Lady Gremory.

So Wang Bo, through the contract, sent the Taiyin True Art and these methods, including the unorthodox technique of absorbing snakes for cultivation, all at once to Lady Gremory.

Then the next day, Lady Gremory replied to Wang Bo, “These knowledge are very interesting. I want to see more. Do you have any other knowledge?”

“No more,” Wang Bo said calmly. “This is all I know.”

“You obtained these things from a new world, didn’t you? Why not summon me over, and I’ll collect this knowledge myself. I believe the new world must have a lot of similar knowledge.”

Lady Gremory, with her immense wisdom, quickly guessed Wang Bo’s situation.

“Well said, but I’m busy.” Wang Bo had no intention of summoning Lady Gremory to this world; she was no ordinary person but a demon god.

“You fellow, you’re not still wary of me, are you?” Lady Gremory questioned.

“Do you really not know whether I’m wary of you?” Wang Bo was indeed full of caution toward Lady Gremory. Although she was friendly to him, Wang Bo never forgot that she was not human but a demon.

And moreover, one of the seventy-two demon gods of Hell.

The Key of Solomon also detailed these demon gods; even the most kind-hearted demon had standards completely different from humans.

In human eyes, so-called kindness meant not harming others and being compassionate.

But in demon eyes, so-called kindness meant not exterminating the entire race.

And Lady Gremory was a standard demon god. Although she was friendly to Wang Bo, it did not mean she would be friendly to humans. If necessary, she would not hesitate or feel any pity in exterminating humanity.

After all, in her view, human lives were no different from stones by the roadside.

“This really surprises me,” Lady Gremory said lightly. “I thought we had become friends.”

Wang Bo replied, “We are friends, that’s true, but that doesn’t mean I won’t be wary of you. These are two different things.”

“Hmph, men.” Lady Gremory subtly mocked Wang Bo.

Wang Bo did not dwell on this topic and instead asked, “How is your research on the things I gave you going?”

“Not bad, quite interesting. A few of the spells are ingenious in my view.” For a demon god of Lady Gremory’s level, understanding the Taiyin True Art and spells was not difficult.

After all, beings of their level possessed immense wisdom and were learned in both Eastern and Western knowledge.

“Then how is the modification I asked you to do?”

“No problem.” Lady Gremory sent the modified spells to Wang Bo through the contract.

After trying a few times, Wang Bo raised his hand and waved, and magical power turned into golden rays of light, shooting in all directions, destroying everything in their path. Whether trees or rocks, they were all pierced by the golden rays Wang Bo released.

This move was exactly the little Taoist’s spell.

After Wang Bo gave it to Lady Gremory, she modified it so that the spell could also be driven by magical power, with power not inferior to the original, but even stronger.

Such was the wisdom and knowledge of a demon god.

Wang Bo was deeply envious.

But Wang Bo firmly believed that as he evolved, not only his physical strength but also his brain would become stronger, with computing power far exceeding that of a computer.

As long as he learned enough knowledge and built a deep foundation, one day he too could modify spells and magic as easily as Lady Gremory.

For instance, now, as soon as Lady Gremory sent over the modified spells, Wang Bo learned them after just reading them once and trying a few times, and could cast them with ease.

This was Wang Bo’s current brain, far surpassing that of an ordinary human, with learning speed beyond imagination.

Of course, a true superhuman would be even more extraordinary.

For example, the Silver Age Superman could learn a foreign language after just a few seconds of conversation, mastering not only all languages on Earth but also all knowledge from twenty-eight galaxies.

Although Wang Bo could not yet reach that level, he was not to be underestimated.

But for now, Wang Bo’s knowledge of magic was too limited. If he could travel to the world of “A Certain Magical Index,” he might be able to learn all magic and enter the realm of demon gods within just a few years.

Lady Gremory said slowly, “I am very interested in this knowledge. Can you help me collect some? Of course, in exchange, I can offer equivalent knowledge to trade with you.”

Wang Bo thought for a moment and did not refuse. He nodded and said, “Okay, if I find new knowledge, I’ll give it to you.”

“That’s wonderful!” Lady Gremory said joyfully.

She felt that knowing Wang Bo was truly great. Not only could she obtain new species, but also new knowledge, all of which were absent in Hell.

And all she had to give were some demons and knowledge she already knew. This was such a good deal.

Lady Gremory was truly fond of Wang Bo to the bone.

Unlike Solomon, who was far stronger.

That wretched Solomon, relying on knowing her true name, drove her at will, not only refusing to avenge her but often mocking her.

Whenever she thought of that guy’s face, Lady Gremory felt a surge of anger.

Even though Solomon had been dead for who knows how many years, she still could not forget him. Compared to someone like that, in Lady Gremory’s eyes, Wang Bo was a saint.

On the other hand, Wang Bo naturally did not know his image in Lady Gremory’s eyes. After cutting off contact with her, he learned all the spells she had modified.

Among these spells, a few were similar to the magic Wang Bo already mastered, with the same effect by different means, so learning them was essentially unnecessary.

But with the mindset of “it’s better than being idle,” Wang Bo still learned them.

These included a typical Eastern spell… talisman drawing!

However, Wang Bo was not very interested in talisman drawing; he preferred casting spells with his bare hands, which was fast and simple. A hand seal or a mantra could cast a spell.

That was what Wang Bo wanted.

So in Wang Bo’s view, talisman drawing might never be used in his lifetime.

A day passed in the blink of an eye. After learning the spells, Wang Bo left the towering mountains and arrived at a nearby city.
