Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

In order to complete a series of tasks, Zhou Ning had been to Dulles City once in his previous life, so he was not very unfamiliar with the place.

The Knowledge District is home to Dulles's various academic institutions, including numerous newspapers, magazines, and periodicals. Thirty-five of Dulles's forty prominent universities are located within the Knowledge District. It is also the heart of the Knowledge Council's power. The Council's sanctuary, the City of Omniscience, lies deep within the Knowledge District, a floating city to the southwest.

This church is also the only religious sanctuary located in the city.

Considering his next goal, Zhou Ning plans to find a place to live near the Knowledge District. He will stay here for at least the next few months.

"10 Dillon for the two of them."

Unlike the Kingdom of Sifalik, the currency here was a gold coin called Diren, with a ratio of approximately 1:2 to Viktar, meaning one Viktar was equivalent to two Diren. However, Viktar and Roshen were both in circulation here, so Zhou Ning didn't bother exchanging them. He simply pulled out a 1-Viktar note and handed it to the other party.

The driver was a burly northerner, about 2 meters tall. He diligently helped Zhou Ning and Jasmine load their luggage onto the carriage, which then swayed slowly towards the southwest.

The area where the dock is located is part of the Wealth District, and you need to cross the Knowledge Bridge to reach the Knowledge District.

Just like his memories of his previous life, this city gave Zhou Ning the feeling of "freedom" and chaos.

This was once one of the earliest civilized areas. Later, with the fall of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom and the destruction of the ancient city of Waters, it gradually became an island where the Falric people exiled criminals.

In the early days, the Northern Pirates were defeated by the then-powerful Falrick Kingdom, and were driven out of the North by their "One Piece" version of themselves. They left their homes and came to this island, occupying the North Island until now.

Later, after the Second Religious War, the Church of Mars, the Church of Poseidon, and the Parliament of Knowledge all lost most of their dioceses and withdrew from the then Kingdom of Falik.

Many shipbuilders, craftsmen, students, and professors came here with the Council of Knowledge and the Church of Poseidon and rebuilt a new country, which is now the Maritime Kingdom of Revendreth.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the Sea Kingdom of Revendreth was hostile to the Ascetic Sect and the Goddess of Life Sect, the victorious parties at that time.

As for the current situation, the Church of the God of War and the Church of Asceticism have become allies again, and the Church of the God of the Sea has lost the true god it believes in. Currently, it only has the support of the God of the Sea's subordinate god, "God of Thunder and Lightning" Mahlerus, and another unknown subordinate god. In addition, it has a large number of powerful anchors, barely maintaining its qualifications as a true church.

Zhou Ning had no doubt that his Starry Sky Church was also unwelcome. This was the biggest reason why Zhou Ning did not choose to find a place to live in the Wealth District or the Blood District.

If you know you are not welcome, why bother to make trouble?

At this time, parades could be seen everywhere along the streets. Not only animals, but also werewolves, ragged poor people, and pirates formed a sparse procession. Under the influence of the artifacts of knowledge, they had unique thoughts and demands. Sometimes, parades were the most direct way to express their demands and seek "freedom."

The coachman laughed and said:

"Besides magic balls and beer, the Revendreth people's greatest pastime is participating in politics. On average, each Revendreth person has six to eight associations that hold regular parades. I've participated in six, including but not limited to the Dulles City coachman's wage increase parade, the parade for increased social welfare, the parade demanding that intelligent animals participate in taxation, and so on..."

Pfft... Is this how you guys are supposed to use knowledge? Zhou Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. He felt the urge to use the authority of knowledge to take back their knowledge.

About 20 minutes after the carriage passed the Knowledge Bridge, it stopped in front of Qiuzhi Road, the main street in the Knowledge District. Zhou Ning got off the carriage carrying his suitcase.

There are many members of the Knowledge Council wearing black bachelor's gowns and a single-eye emblem on their chests coming and going nearby. Occasionally, there are some young people dressed in unique styles, animals with wisdom, and pirates with rapiers and scimitars on their waists passing by. The buildings on both sides are mostly academic institutions.

"What are we going to do next? Should we rent a house first?" Jasmine asked softly.

Zhou Ning took out his pocket watch, flipped the switch, and checked the time.

It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was obviously too late to look for a house comfortably, so he decided to buy a house here.

In addition, he also plans to buy a shop near the Fortune District and replicate the development model in Nathaniel.

As for manpower, in the initial stage he can hire players and rely on his own clones to run the business.

"Let's find a hotel first and buy a house nearby tomorrow."

Jasmine didn't care too much and nodded indifferently:

"I'm going to the library at King's College to get a library card. Do you want to come with me?"

"Okay." Zhou Ning thought for a moment and agreed. Having the power of knowledge, his thirst for knowledge was naturally strong. The King's College Library was one of the largest academic libraries in the world, boasting over 150 million items, including ancient manuscripts dating back to the Second Age.

And more importantly, the City of Omniscience, the Holy Temple of the Parliament of Knowledge, is floating in the suburbs not far from King's College.

After walking around the nearby area, I finally found a hotel with decent conditions in the block, called "Qiuzhi Hotel", which is worthy of being called the Knowledge District.

Zhou Ning walked over slowly, carrying his cane and suitcase.

A huge poster of Magic Ball star J. Durant and a legal clause "No pickpocketing allowed" are posted at the entrance of the hotel, proving that the Church of the God of War still has a certain status here.

No, that's not right. Zhou Ning controlled the twitching of his mouth. His spiritual sense sensed that this legal provision had no effect at all. It was just an ordinary sticker!

Hehe, Zhou Ning smiled and shook his head, then bought a few copies of the book from a small bookstore nearby.

Newspapers and maps. Bookstores like this one can be found everywhere in Dulles, and they are all doing very well.

Due to the influence of that unknown artifact on humanity, the thirst for knowledge here has long been subtly cultivated. If I had just crossed over to Revendreth and started with the Plagiarist, I'd probably have had a much smoother journey than now.

After putting down his luggage in the spacious room, Zhou Ning spread out the newspaper he had just bought on the table and began to read patiently.

His first concern was the reports of knowledge transfer or various miracles here.

In the social sector, there is indeed news about some humans losing some knowledge, animals constantly gaining wisdom, and then migrating towards the ancient city of Waters.

It's unclear whether it's due to that unknown artifact, but learning has become an instinct for the humans here, with the negative effects less pronounced, or whether the Knowledge Council is deliberately covering it up. This phenomenon hasn't caused the response it deserves.

In addition, there have been four total solar eclipses in the past few days, and there are rumors that a large number of dead undead are walking the streets in the Blood Region.

Zhou Ning twitched his lips. Why did he feel that Dulles City was also dangerous? Could it be that he really had Conan's physique?
