Every world had its differences.
In the Dark World, all Fangzheng could see was endless darkness. Even during the day, the dark clouds above his head were like the lid of a huge coffin, making it hard for him to breathe. As far as the eye could see, apart from the wilderness, there was only the dark forest. If one stayed for a long time, he would even have the illusion that the entire world was about to be destroyed. Desolation, darkness, and despair. That was the theme of the Dark World. As for hope? Perhaps it existed, but the purpose of its existence was only to be destroyed.
But in the main world, what Fangzheng saw was completely different.
"This is the place?"
Sitting in the carriage, Fangzheng looked at the city in front of him. From the original owner of this body, Fangzheng learned that this city was called Kartus, which meant 'the place where the moon and stars shine' in the Elven language. The people of this country collectively called this city 'Star-Moon City'.
This was only a small city located in the country of the Saint, but even so, it was different in Fangzheng's eyes. A city wall made of white stones surrounded the entire city, and a beautiful river flowed through the middle of the city, bringing beautiful lakes and rich fishing resources.
"Yes, Sir, this is Star-Moon City."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's question, the coachman in charge of driving the carriage smiled and said. Meanwhile, Fangzheng looked at the white temple in the middle of the city meaningfully. Then, he looked at the Dimensional Code in front of him.

After carefully looking at his information bar, Fangzheng took a deep breath.
"Let's go."
"Yes."
Soon, the carriage set off again and continued forward.
"Phew …"
Sitting in the carriage, Fangzheng took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to calm his mind. After leaving the Dark World, he calculated the time. He had stayed in the Dark World for 3 days, but only 10 hours had passed in the main world. Fortunately, the other party didn't send someone to guard him. Otherwise, Fangzheng might not have been able to escape.
After leaving the forest, the first thing Fangzheng did was to go to a nearby village to change his clothes. He then hired a carriage to head to the nearest city. To Fangzheng's relief, he didn't see a wanted order for the original owner of his body in that village. Perhaps the other party hadn't given up on searching for him, but if the search was fruitless, they would definitely issue a wanted order. This was something Fangzheng had no doubt about. Although this world looked like an ordinary medieval world on the surface, Fangzheng's memories told him that this world's level of civilization was probably not much worse than the world he had been reborn in.
Considering the terrifying high-end forces, it might even be better.
After all, in Fangzheng's world, it was difficult to destroy a planet other than a nuclear bomb.
Before coming to this city, Fangzheng had completely digested the memory of his body. At the same time, he also thought about what he was going to do.
Escape was impossible. The Kingdom of Saint, Saareth, was one of the four most powerful countries in this world. The other three countries were the Kingdom of Magi, Leon, and the Kingdom of Wealth, Karon. Among them, the Kingdom of Magi was a country of mages, and the Kingdom of Wealth was a paradise for merchants and nobles. The last remaining country was the Kingdom of Fire, Verrell.
According to the memory of the owner of Fangzheng's body, the Kingdom of Saint, Saareth, occupied nearly one-fifth of the land on this continent. It had a powerful army and clergymen. The reason why the Kingdom of Saint could have such a status was that during the "Tide of Chaos" a thousand years ago, the king of this country single-handedly led humans to break through the destructive blockade of darkness and Chaos, and finally protected this world. Therefore, the Kingdom of Saint became the owner of this land as the "Guardian of Humanity." The land and population it occupied were almost no different from Fangzheng's own country before his rebirth. It was conceivable that in the face of such a large population and vast land, Fangzheng had no chance of winning.
Of course, if Fangzheng had a choice, he would rather go to Karon or Leon. But unfortunately, it was equally difficult. Fangzheng was currently in the hinterland of the Kingdom of Saint. No matter which country he went to, he would have to travel a long distance and spend a lot of time. Even if he successfully crossed the border, he would not necessarily be accepted by these two countries. The Kingdom of Magi only allowed mages to enter. Even a peddler had to be a formal mage. The requirement of the Kingdom of Wealth was even more straightforward — you must have money.
But Fangzheng obviously did not have that much money in his hands now. As for the Kingdom of Fire? They were far away on another continent. They could not cross at all. Even if the Sea of Storms was not covered, Fangzheng would not be able to swim, right?
As for magic … He did not know any of it.
In addition to the four major countries in this world, there were also many small countries, but just like those small countries in Fangzheng's world, when the big countries spoke, you could only obediently accept them … Oh, wait.
At least in Fangzheng's world, those small countries could still maintain a semblance of autonomy, but here … Well, they had their own land and borders, didn't they?
In the current situation, Fangzheng could not escape from the Kingdom of Saint. Even if he escaped, there was no guarantee that he would not be caught by the Kingdom of Saint one day. In all fairness, there was no essential, irreconcilable conflict between Fangzheng and the Kingdom of Saint. It was just that he was a little too unlucky and chose the wrong target for his rebirth.
But this did not mean that Fangzheng could run to the temple of the Kingdom of Saint and say, "You've made a mistake, the person you're looking for is already dead, I'm just an unlucky rebirth", and then have the other party nod and say, "Ah, yes, I'm really sorry". Then it would be as simple as that. In any case, Fangzheng had killed several of their knights, and from the memory of Williams, although the status of these knights was not very high, it was not low either.
They were the kind that did not necessarily pursue the matter to the end, but at least they had to give an explanation.
In Fangzheng's mind, the portal of the Infinite Worlds Dimension System had closed and entered a state of cooldown. The next time it would open would be 15 days later. And Fangzheng could not hide in the wilderness and play hide-and-seek with the Kingdom of Saint forever.
So after careful consideration, Fangzheng had an idea.
A very bold idea.
But first, he needed an identity.
So, Fangzheng came here.
"We're here, sir."
The coachman's voice came from the front, and at the same time, the carriage slowly stopped. Fangzheng took a deep breath, tidied up his clothes, opened the door of the carriage, and walked down.
The first thing that came into view was a two-story stone building. It looked quite old. From the outside, it didn't look like a magnificent building. There were only two ordinary guards at the entrance. It looked very cold and deserted, as if there were no people around.
But Fangzheng was very clear that this was the first step of his adventure.
This was the city hall.
"Thud … thud … thud …"
Fangzheng walked through the door and looked around. There was no one in the entire city hall, except for an old man who was lying behind the table and taking a nap. It was no wonder, after all, such a small city really did not have many incidents.
Fangzheng coughed, came to the counter, and stretched out his finger to knock on the counter.
"Dong dong."
Hearing this knocking sound, the napping old man suddenly trembled, then sat up hurriedly. He widened his eyes and glared at Fangzheng. He wanted to reprimand him, but when he saw the exquisite gown Fangzheng was wearing, he hurriedly shuddered and quickly adjusted his position.
"Hello, sir. What can I do for you?"
"I hope to stay in this city temporarily. Please give me a certificate."
Looking at the old man's expression, Fangzheng smiled slightly in his heart. This suit of clothing cost a lot. It was the work of the most famous tailor in the city, and it was sewn with the best fabric. It cost almost one-third of Fangzheng's current body's wealth.
However, Fangzheng did not feel heartache. His experience in his previous life told him that everyone looked at their appearance. As the saying goes, people look at their clothes. If you dressed well and behaved elegantly, then no matter whether you were a thief or a prostitute, at least on the surface, the first impression you gave was definitely not bad.
If he wore ordinary clothes and came here to handle the formalities, the old man would not only not be so polite, he might even scold him. If he was a snobbish person, he might even think that he was a country bumpkin and think that he was a country bumpkin. He might even give him a little hindrance.
But now, before he figured out his identity and background, he only dared to work honestly.
"Of course, no problem, sir."
Everything that Fangzheng showed obviously made the old man a little nervous. He looked at Fangzheng's formal attire and the Sky Splitting Sword behind him in surprise and instinctively swallowed his saliva.
"Please, please give me your travel document."
"Here it is."
As he spoke, Fangzheng took out a travel document and handed it to the old man. He had spent a lot of money and effort to get this document. Fangzheng was extremely glad that the original owner of this body was quite competent as a cultist. At least, he was very clear about the various kinds of connections in his memory. It was also because of this that Fangzheng was able to successfully find the Thieves Guild. Furthermore, after promising a large sum of money, he was able to obtain such an 'official' travel document.
Of course, the so-called formal document was naturally a formal travel document. It would state where the holder came from and where he was going, and it would also be stamped with the seal of the organization. Because these travel documents were all made of special magic paper, they could not be forged at all.
But just because they could not be forged did not mean that they could not be obtained.
As long as there was enough money, it was never a big deal to "lose" one or two travel documents, right?
"Mr. Fangzheng from the Argent Duchy …. Hmm …."
The old man put on his monocle and carefully looked at the words and seal on the document. He coughed and raised his head to look at Fangzheng.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to seek guidance from the Goddess of Order."
As he spoke, Fangzheng put his finger on his forehead and made a gesture similar to a believer's prayer.
"I want to strengthen my resolve in the sacred oath."
"Okay, I understand."
The old man was not surprised to hear Fangzheng's answer. The Nation of the Saint was the source of faith. Many people from other countries would make a special trip to the Nation of the Saint for a pilgrimage. To put it simply, in the eyes of most people, the faith and teachings of the Nation of the Saint were more "authentic", and it was easier for them to listen to the oracle of the Goddess of Order.
Of course, any educated person would know that this was just nonsense, but you couldn't stop people from making a special trip to the Holy Church to pray, right?
It was obviously not the first time the old man encountered this situation. He quickly checked the document and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he filled in another form. Then, he picked up the seal in his hand and pressed on it with some difficulty. Then, he looked at Fangzheng.
"Okay, young man, you can take this document to the astrology room. You know what to do."
"Of course, thank you."
Hearing the old man's words, Fangzheng smiled and nodded. He reached out to pick up the document and placed a few silver coins on the counter. The old man quietly swept the silver coins into his sleeve and looked at Fangzheng with an even more enthusiastic smile.
"My name is Pander. If you need anything, you can come to me. As long as it's within my means, it won't be a problem."
"Thank you."
Hearing the old man's answer, Fangzheng nodded. Then, he picked up the documents and left.
The moment he turned around, a cold glint flashed in Fangzheng's eyes.
