Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

The snow was falling harder and harder. Zhou Ning and Moli, one after the other, stepped over the dirty snow on the wooden planks. On both sides of the road leading to the dock, vendors were still diligently hawking all kinds of fresh ingredients. This was a famous fishing port, and occasionally one could see one or two valuable golden wolffish, gleaming with golden light.

Although this is a specialty of Temple Harbor, it doesn't mean that this fish can't be caught in other areas.

In addition to being delicious, this fish is also a common ingredient in some mystical rituals. It is said that it can also be refined into gold of the same volume by alchemists, and its price usually reaches four figures.

"Why is this fish so expensive?" At this time, Zhou Ning heard the voice in the hall asking about the fifth law again. It was a pot-bellied businessman with a strong Byronic accent.

No one paid any attention to the businessman at this time, but several members of the Knowledge Council heard his question, and the tall and thin middle-aged man in the lead patiently explained to him the uses of the golden wolffish.

"Is there something wrong with those people?" Jasmine looked over there and asked quietly.

"It's very likely related to the fact that creatures in Port Royal have gradually developed intelligence." Zhou Ning said with a "hmm".

He didn't believe the God of Knowledge and Wisdom truly believed that all knowledge was equal. Granting knowledge and wisdom to the rooster made sense, after all, religious lore had a legend about roosters bringing in bread and meat to feed the Guarani. So what about other creatures?

"This phenomenon of creatures developing intelligence seems to have occurred before. It was described when the great Creator God created intelligent creatures. The Creator God divided knowledge and wisdom into countless small portions, bestowing them first upon the gods. The Guarani received the largest portion, followed by dragons, elves, giants, demon wolves, phoenixes, elemental lords, and other ancient mythical creatures."

"As for humans, beasts, birds, and even magical beasts, they all appeared in the Second Age, after the fall of the Creator God. Their humanity, knowledge, and wisdom came from the God of Knowledge and Wisdom."

"This is just a myth. Even at the level of the Guarani God, there is no way to bear such a large amount of knowledge consumption." Zhou Ning nodded thoughtfully.

He knew that Jasmine was, in a sense, a distinguished historian and theologian, and believed she would understand what he meant. Myths and legends are usually made up of a mixture of falsehood and truth, and their credibility is generally low.

"Yes," Jasmine responded seriously. "However, this information is probably only 60% credible, because the total amount of knowledge and wisdom is not static, but rather expands with one's own experience and cultivation. Furthermore, there's a lesser-known saying in mythology: after the Creator God's death, all of his knowledge passed to the God of Knowledge and Wisdom."

Zhou Ning fell into deep thought. It was true that an old man in the family was like a treasure. Such knowledge could probably only be mastered by a former patriarch like Jasmine who had been exposed to the core secrets of the Ascetic Church.

However, Zhou Ning still retained his opinion. The reason was simple: all signs indicated that the Sun Goddess, the God of War, and the Moon Goddess were the victors of the First God War. So why did the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, who was in the opposing camp, get such a large share of the inheritance?

And there is another point. After mastering the authority of knowledge, he realized that not all knowledge is beneficial. For example, knowledge about the depths of the starry sky, the depths of the spiritual world, and certain powerful outer gods... Certain forbidden knowledge combined together will form a disease called knowledge plague, which erodes the target's intelligence at all times.

Zhou Ning didn't dare to think deeply about this at the time, because his instinctive reaction was that the reason why the Creator God shared knowledge and wisdom was, could it be that it was to reduce the knowledge plague as much as possible and maintain his own rationality?

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhou Ning saw the Knowledge Council members walking gracefully in front of him. They seemed to be very interested in the golden wolffish and bought them without much bargaining, for a total of 7200 Vekta.

"So rich!" Zhou Ning couldn't help but sigh. In his opinion, the difference between these golden wolffish and the price was at least 3000 Vectra. "Wait, why do I care about this when I'm so rich?"

Not far away, some members of the Wings of Law's extraordinary team and military police in blue and white uniforms were conducting routine inspections.

When checking the first few members of the Knowledge Council, Zhou Ning narrowed his eyes slightly and saw the identity badge of one of them:

Name: Brad Palmer

Occupation: Professor of Warrior Studies at Wake Forest University

This... Zhou Ning couldn't help but sigh softly. What a coincidence! He had never met this professor before. He thought he must have been new since he left school.

Soon it was Zhou Ning's turn to have his belongings checked. However, a member of the Wings of Law who happened to be on duty recognized Zhou Ning and immediately showed an expression of extreme shock and awe on his face. He was even trembling with excitement.

"Are you Wayne Stewell? A great being like you is not bound by the law and does not require any inspection. Please go ahead."

After saying this, he bent down deeply and made way for Zhou Ning and Jasmine to pass.

Puff... A golden fountain spurted out of the mouth of the captain who was leaning on the bow of the ship drinking.

"Your fame is growing." Jasmine said softly, with a hint of pride in her tone. For a moment, she had a wonderful feeling of witnessing the rise of the Son of Time.

She vaguely remembered Wayne Stewell as a student. Even then, he had already possessed extraordinary composure and often performed beyond expectations. It had only taken him two years to go from obscurity to his current fame.

"We just happen to know each other." Zhou Ning was already accustomed to this kind of situation. With his current 20 points of legendary status and various glorious deeds, it was impossible for anyone with a little extraordinary knowledge not to know him.

But it was a bit of a coincidence that the captain of the Bartlett was an old acquaintance, the red-haired Robinson with thick red hair and a red beard.

The last time he went from Dockland to Nathaniel, he took Red-Haired Robinson's "Wings of Liberty". Now he was going from Nathaniel to Dulles, and the captain was still him.

However, considering that the "Wings of Liberty" had experienced countless hurricanes and was attacked by sea giants and several demigods, it was logical that half of the ship was scrapped when it arrived in Nathaniel.

Zhou Ning's fame as a vehicle killer also began with the "Wings of Liberty".

I really don’t know if this reunion is a coincidence or fate. Anyway, looking at Red-Haired Robinson’s expression, he doesn’t seem very happy.

The port of Port Royal consists of three long black wooden planks leading to the docks where ships are moored. The Bartlett is anchored in the channel on the left. Judging from its appearance, it has only been sailing for less than half a year.

Similar in structure to the previous "Myrni Rooster" and "Lavides", it was a typical steam sailing ship with a built-in alchemy array. A huge alchemy array was placed at the tail, and several strong northerners were busy there.

After seeing that Zhou Ning and Jasmine behind him were targeting his ship, Red-Haired Robinson stood on the deck with a numb face, his whole body seemed to have turned gray.

There were about four to five hundred passengers on the ship, who lined up in a long queue and walked up the gangway to the deck in an orderly manner.

When Zhou Ning passed by Red-haired Robinson, the other party forced a humble smile, and Zhou Ning clearly heard the sound of his heartbreaking heart.

"There shouldn't be any danger this time." Zhou Ning wanted to comfort the other person, but in order to maintain his aloof personality, he just smiled at the other person, stepped onto the gangway and entered the cabin.

Perhaps because she seldom took boat trips, Jasmine looked a little confused at first. Zhou Ning helped her find her own room on the first floor, and then she found her own room on the opposite side.

Just as he was about to push the door open, Zhou Ning was stunned. What a coincidence! He had not deliberately chosen the room before, but those members of the Knowledge Council happened to live not far from him.

At the door, Zhou Ning's eyes met Brad Palmer's and he nodded politely at him.

Pushing the door open and entering his room, Zhou Ning put down his suitcase and let out a long sigh. A new journey was finally about to begin.

Although the enemy is still hiding in the dark, Zhou Ning has a vague feeling that a storm is coming. In the next period of time, he hopes that he can successfully create a new profession and be promoted to a god as soon as possible!
