I Forged the Myth of the Ancient Overlords
Chapter 325 - 325 324. The Wisdom of the Fool_1

Chapter 325: 324. [The Wisdom of the Fool]_1 Chapter 325: 324. [The Wisdom of the Fool]_1 “Now the focus is to find a way to combat pollution. The tasks at the Great Shrine of Harmony Island should be more suitable, and also, I need to find an opportunity to bury Red Leaf’s ashes beneath the cherry blossom tree of the Great Shrine of Harmony Island.”

Lu Ban remembered his own crimson crystal.

Completing two tasks at once is definitely more cost-effective!

With this thought, Lu Ban felt even more that he should go to Harmony Island.

If he could master the secret of the Chief Priestess, perhaps he could also apply it in reality, to wipe out all those strange creatures at once.

While pondering, Lu Ban opened the Silent Department Store, intending to first buy a [Madman’s Knowledge] to gather some intelligence.

Because according to the task description, compared to filthy things, those major families who wanted their own trained shrine maidens to become the Chief Priestess might actually be the ones who would truly obstruct him on his way. And Lu Ban, being kind-hearted and unable to bear seeing others suffer, needed to scout out the information in advance, identify the target, and take them out before they even fail their tasks and get beaten up, sparing them from both physical and mental blows.

Just as Lu Ban was about to purchase the half-priced [Madman’s Knowledge] of the day, he noticed a new product listed right below it.

[Madman’s Knowledge x10]

[Receive ten units of Madman’s Knowledge at once, one of which is guaranteed to be from a specified foreign domain.]

[Price: 1000 Silence Points]

Also, next to [Madman’s Knowledge], a new counter had been updated.

[8/50]

Lu Ban placed his finger on it and saw a more specific prompt.

[Each use of Madman’s Knowledge accumulates Madman’s Babbling Points. When these points reach fifty, one can exchange them for Wisdom of the Fool from any Mutant tier.]

[Wisdom of the Fool]

[Mutant]

[Remains of those who once gained the favor of the indescribable divine beings.]

[Can be used to acquire the truth of a specific foreign domain.]

[Knowledge with serious pollution, filtered through many layers, and safe to use.]

[However, based on the different truths, accidents may sometimes occur.]

[“Wonderful… knowledge.”]

[Price: 50 Madman’s Babbling Points]

“God TM’s Wisdom of the Fool.”

Lu Ban thought to himself whether the owner of Silent Lands was playing a mobile game or was actually a mobile game developer. Not only had they created a ten-conn draw but also a guaranteed bottom line.

But on second thought, mobile game planners and the deities of Silent Lands didn’t seem much different. Both squeeze out everything from players and the Chosen by Gods, and also made players and the Chosen by Gods work in the world they created.

According to the description, [Wisdom of the Fool] is clearly more advanced than [Madman’s Knowledge], and just like the ten-conn draw for [Madman’s Knowledge], it allows one to specify the knowledge they want to gain, which is clearly higher level, and more heavily polluted.

In simple terms, this [Wisdom of the Fool] might be from some unfortunate people who personally witnessed the great existences. Their minds were filled with lots of knowledge they couldn’t use and that drove them mad and eventually killed them. Part of this knowledge’s pollution remained in their bodies. As a result, the level of remaining pollution of these pieces of knowledge was reduced, making them safe to use.

It’s not excluded that some [Wisdom of the Fool] contained knowledge too explosive that, even after being filtered through several people, it would still blow the mind of the one who acquired it. For example, if Lu Ban spent some points to swap for a glimpse of the true form of the great being sealed under the church in the little town of the Abandoned Capital, no matter how many layers it was filtered through, his brain would likely boil on the spot, ready to be served with minced garlic, chili, and spring onions.

Lu Ban believed in his luck; he did not go for the ten consecutive draws but instead chose to do a single draw at half-price for the day.

The skull that appeared in his hand was close to human form, but a large piece was missing from the lower jaw, as if it were broken. Apart from that, there were traces of abrasion and damage in other areas of the skull, as if it had been gnawed on by some wild beast.

He gazed at the pale green flames in the skull’s eye sockets and immediately crushed it.

A bolt of Lei Ting circled around Lu Ban, causing his hair to stand on end. Then, the green lightning burrowed into his brain.

“…This inheritance comes from my uncle, who claimed to have studied under the Taoist Crane Cry, and after many twists and turns, he obtained this house…”

“…The villa’s architecture is old and dilapidated, and it has become rotten due to the dampness from torrential rain. Sometimes, strange noises can be heard from the ceiling or the walls, but please pay them no mind…”

“…Some believe that the ascension of Taoist Crane Cry was nothing but a scam, and that he actually died long ago from a lightning strike. Others think that he performed some evil rituals here back in the day, summoning something malevolent…”

“…Rustling, rustling— it sounds like something is scratching this wall…”

“…I discovered a basement under the kitchen. There seems to be a large cavity underneath. Perhaps something is hidden below…”

This babbling and knowledge spread like lightning through the crevices of Lu Ban’s cerebral cortex, giving him a tingling sense of trepidation. Black blood seeped from his nostrils, and he felt dizzy and disoriented.

But that was it.

He rubbed his nose, where the grass that had grown inside was already covering the blood, and at the same time, his brain, which had been shocked, turned green and quickly smoothed over the necrotic cells.

For Lu Ban, this level of pollution no longer seemed to have such a strong corrosive effect.

Unfortunately, however, this piece of Madman’s Knowledge was knowledge from the Abandoned Capital, and it should have been the information from the Crazy Villa mission.

Usually, at such times, Lu Ban would likely make full use of it and directly choose the task from the Abandoned Capital.

But this coincidence made Lu Ban feel something was off. When everything leads to one outcome, the theory of commonality would say that this outcome might not be what he wanted.

“No choice, it looks like I’ll have to spend more points.”

Lu Ban was helpless. Although he could also do a half-price draw every day until he hit the mark, since there was a direct option for a ten-consecutive draw, it wouldn’t hurt to try it.

With that thought, he immediately spent Silence Points to specify He Dao and exchanged for the ten-consecutive Madman’s Knowledge.

To Lu Ban’s surprise, this ten-consecutive did not mean that ten skulls were strung together like a string of sand monks for Lu Ban.

There was only one.

The skull was like a human’s, but thick shadows twined between the eye sockets, even obscuring the pale flames inside the skull.

It seems to represent what the Madman’s Knowledge from He Dao looked like.

Lu Ban crushed this skull immediately.

It was only when that shadow, accompanied by a familiar yet foreign flute sound, flowed into Lu Ban’s eyes, nose, mouth, and ears that he suddenly remembered something.

“Crushing one… isn’t that like directly getting ten times the knowledge?”

In the moment of realization, Lu Ban’s vision went black.
