Chapter 330

A cold voice sounded in the room.

Remedios's fair cheeks tightened, appearing somewhat annoyed.

As the captain of the Holy Knight Order and one of the highest-ranking people in the entire Holy Kingdom, she had never encountered someone like Tang Zheng who dared not give her face, and even spoke coldly to her.

Quila was very calm, and that seemingly kind face always wore a faint smile.

The two were not wearing their combat attire at this moment.

Quila was in a white formal dress, tightened by a light blue waistband, dotted with pearls and fine diamonds, making her waist look only a palm wide visually, and making the dimensions of her upper body appear astonishing!

Remedios's attire was clearly more unconventional or neutral compared to normal noble formal wear; her upper body was standard, with a white shawl.

Her lower body was a pair of black hunting trousers, and she wore brown animal-skin boots on her feet; perhaps due to her sitting posture, her slender legs appeared somewhat rounded and powerful through the tight trousers.

The same brown hair and almost identical faces!

Sitting together, the two had a unique and stunning quality.

"My purpose for coming to the Holy Kingdom was to obtain demi-human blood."

Tang Zheng stood up and looked at Quila and the other sitting opposite him:

"Now that the matter has ended and the Abelion Hills are much safer, with better ways to obtain it, it is about time to leave."

"If there is progress with the 'Fusion Potion,' it won't be too late to send someone to the Hills to contact me."

"Leaving?"

Quila said in surprise; she had indeed guessed that "Free Will" had the intention of leaving the Holy Kingdom, and this interview actually had the meaning of trying to keep them.

But she had not expected the other party to head to the Abelion Hills; even though the demi-humans had suffered heavy losses, it was still a dangerous area.

Is it the confidence brought by that "Warrior King" Go-Jin and the demi-human members that the other party can keep in the Hills?

No.

Just the other party's own strength—among the current demi-human powerhouses, there isn't even one who can threaten him.

"Obtaining demi-human blood might not be a lie, or perhaps there is something in the Abelion Hills that attracts the other party." Quila's gaze flashed.

"Would Leader Tang consider it again? We..."

Quila stood up and spoke.

"I have no intention of defecting to your Holy Kingdom," Tang Zheng waved his hand casually and walked toward the door.

In the process of turning around, his gaze swept toward the wall on the north side of the room.

Heh?

Eavesdropping?

It shouldn't be people from the Holy Kingdom; the Slane Theocracy?

Moving so fast, or did they already have spies left in the Holy Kingdom?

Tang Zheng pondered briefly, his white priest robe swaying slightly, and he left the room without caring about Quila's attempt to keep him behind.

Regarding the "Holy Sword," Tang Zheng was indeed very interested.

Not to mention anything else.

The appearances of Quila and Remedios were already of the stunning kind, but they were still a notch below Princess Renner and Lakyus.

The Holy Queen should be in the same class as Princess Renner in terms of appearance.

However, interest is interest.

Pure appearance at most made Tang Zheng curious, but it was not enough for him to waste time doing things that were meaningless to him.

At this moment.

On the other side of the north wall.

A young man dressed as an attendant had his ear pressed against the wall, and it was currently shaped like an elephant's palm-ear; this was the second-tier magic "Elephant Ear."

It can greatly enhance hearing and hear even more subtle movements.

Hearing Tang Zheng's footsteps gradually fade away, the attendant youth also dispelled the magic and left quietly.

"Quila, is this your purpose?" Remedios pointed to the potions on the table.

"It is not."

"It's just that this result is indeed not bad," Quila smiled and looked at Remedios:

"You don't usually like to target someone like you do now, sister."

"You, what are you saying!" Remedios's tone became excited.

"Come to think of it, sister, you are getting a bit old; it is indeed time to find a marriage partner. There are no suitable young men in the country."

Quila pretended to talk to herself, muttering in a low voice: "Just like the story of a noble lady and a commoner."

"He is not a commoner!"

"Indeed not, but a genius in alchemy and magic," Quila said with a smile.

Remedios finally reacted, her face flushing red: "You intend to use me as a bargaining chip!"

"Is that not allowed? 'Free Will' is very valuable."

"Bastard!!"

Upper Wind Month.

April 7th, early morning.

The Evil Spirit Dog pulled the carriage and left "Kalinsha," driving out of the Holy Kingdom toward the Abelion Hills.

On the carriage.

Enri was a bit happy; she could see Miss Cuiye.

Tang Zheng closed his eyes to rest, but felt somewhat surprised in his heart; he had originally thought that after leaving the VIP Hall, people from the Slane Theocracy would come knocking, but there had been no action at all.

"So, the one eavesdropping yesterday should just be an ordinary spy who cannot make decisions."

"And the people from the Slane Theocracy should not have arrived yet."

Tang Zheng shook his head imperceptibly.

The value of the "Fusion Potion" to the Holy Kingdom was actually limited, but it truly had huge significance to the Slane Theocracy.

However.

Since the people from the Slane Theocracy hadn't arrived, Tang Zheng wouldn't spend time waiting for them.

The words he said to Quila last night were not just for the Holy Kingdom, but also for the people of the Slane Theocracy.

"If the Slane Theocracy doesn't get the potion, they might come knocking again, but it's more likely they will just take the ready-made one."

Tang Zheng's mouth curled up, and he let out a soft laugh.

The subsequent itinerary was much simpler!

Tang Zheng needed "Free Will" to fade out for a period of time, and the fusion potion and materials he gave out, whether it was the Holy Kingdom or the Slane Theocracy, would need to spend a certain amount of time to research.

And this period of time was enough for him to carry out some secret actions, as well as the most important thing: leveling up.

After entering the Abelion Hills.

The long-waiting Witch Cuiye came to pick up Enri.

Tang Zheng was not in a hurry to increase Enri's level; he needed Enri to first learn how to lead troops from the "Beast General" Hekete Weishi and try to obtain the "Commander" system of jobs.

Next.

Tang Zheng used the excuse of looking for alchemy materials to say goodbye to Enri and the Witch Cuiye and headed to the manor where he had previously settled the dwarf craftsmen.

He picked up all the dwarf craftsmen and sent them to the Hills area to make contact with the Dark Dwarves.

It took him two days to arrange this series of plans.

And during this time.

A major event also occurred in the Holy Kingdom: Quila and the other, who led the Holy Knight Order and the Priest Order back to the capital "Hoburns."

While camping in the wild, they suddenly encountered a mysterious attack; according to rumors, it did not cause any casualties, but they seemed to have lost some important item.

The Holy Queen Calca even ordered a thorough investigation and arrested many spies.

At the same time—

The incident in the Hills also spread completely over time, causing shock in various countries; the first to take action.

Was the Baharuth Empire, which revoked the bounty on "Free Will."

Re-Estize Kingdom.

Royal Capital.

Deep within the "Francia" Princess Palace.

Princess Renner held a teacup of black tea emitting wisps of heat, her eyebrows curved, her face full of a gentle smile, and she looked ahead very quietly.

Although Climb maintained his composure, his emotions were still somewhat excited as he recounted the rumors he had heard from the Adventurer Guild and outside.

"Mr. Tang is too amazing!"

"To be able to work with the elites of the Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy to resolve the tens of thousands of undead."

"The leader of 【Zuranon】 is as evil as rumored; if those undead had been allowed..."

Climb's emotions were somewhat high, as if he himself were in that dangerous situation and facing that boundless sea of undead.

After finishing what he had heard.

Climb saw Princess Renner listening to what he said with a constant smile, and immediately realized that his behavior just now was somewhat rude.

"I have overstepped."

Climb hurriedly lowered his head, his body bent at ninety degrees.

"Ah?"

Princess Renner put down the teacup in her hand and said softly and gently: "Don't be so restrained; I also like to hear about these things."

"I didn't expect Mr. Tang's 'Free Will' to become an Adamantite-ranked adventurer team so quickly, even faster than Lakyus's 'Blue Rose'."

Climb still kept his head down, his two rough eyebrows tightened; he knew that this was not the time to speak.

Miss Lakyus was the Princess's friend, and a servant like him naturally had no qualifications to evaluate her.

"Climb," Princess Renner said.

"Yes!"

Climb immediately stood straight, his face carrying a will as strong as iron; it seemed that no matter what order Princess Renner gave, he would execute it immediately.

"Only you can go out by my side."

"Can you help me find out more detailed information about 'Free Will'?"

Princess Renner said in a naive voice, whispering: "By the way, let Reynas come to see me again."

Climb nodded quickly in response and respectfully exited the hall.

"Not the Holy Kingdom?"

"It's the Abelion Hills... demi-humans... 【Zuranon】..."

Princess Renner's naive smile became even brighter; her deep blue pupils flickered with strangeness, and she raised her fair, tender fingers, placed them beside her lips, and gently bit her nails.

Lava zone.

Tang Zheng looked at the "Death Spiral" ritual set up on the ground with a look of exhaustion; he had been here for five days, constantly trying his speculations.

"Negative energy" is a power for the undead!

Then theoretically, "Holy energy" is naturally also a power for the living.

The "Death Spiral Ritual" can guide negative energy into the body, so it can also guide other energies.

However!

This sounds simple, but operating it is another matter.

"It doesn't work."

"The ritual still has problems."

Tang Zheng frowned, constantly checking the ritual he had set up, and making adjustments from time to time.

"Angel Summoning"!

A fourth-tier Monitor Angel was summoned.

Tang Zheng waved his palm to dispel the summoning, and the angel that had just appeared turned into white light spots and began to dissipate.

"Ritual activation!"

"Strange, why is there still no reaction?"

Tang Zheng's frown deepened.

This was the dozens of times he had modified it; not only the normal "Death Spiral Ritual," but he had also borrowed the "Sacrifice·Death Spiral Ritual" used by the leader when creating the Death Knight.

He even referred to the energy absorption path of the "Wild Transformation Ritual."

"Logically speaking, even if it fails, there shouldn't be no reaction at all." Tang Zheng raised his hands to rub his temples, constantly pondering.

Possessing the passive ability of "Magic Master" made his perception and understanding of such complex rituals very clear and simple.

So he could easily detect problems and changes in the ritual.

"Perhaps, it's not a problem with the ritual."

"But the angel summoned?" This thought suddenly flashed through Tang Zheng's mind.

He had been struggling with the ritual during this time and hadn't focused on the angel.

The angels he summoned were all through normal "Angel Summoning" and were no different from the angels summoned by "Final War (Good)."

"No!"

"There is indeed a difference; the angels summoned by 'Final War (Good)' are neutral monsters."

Thinking of this!

Tang Zheng simply stopped struggling and used his job skill to cast a tenth-tier magic without consumption.

Brilliant white light covered the lava zone!

Densely packed angels emitting a holy aura appeared in the sky above Tang Zheng's head.

"Dispel."

Tang Zheng's mind moved.

Although he couldn't directly control these angels, as the caster, he could choose when to dispel the magic.

Whoosh—

Hundreds of angels all turned into white light spots in an instant, forming a gorgeous and holy scene.

Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he quickly activated the ritual.

In an instant!

The originally scattered holy light seemed to be pulled by something and began to gather on the ritual, but soon collapsed and dissipated again.

It failed!

A look of excitement appeared on Tang Zheng's face; having studied for so long, he wasn't afraid of failure, but of no movement at all.

Movement in the ritual meant it was feasible!

"That position is wrong."

"The energy flow circuit is restricted; no, this material also needs to be replaced."

Tang Zheng recalled the situation that had just occurred in the ritual while making adjustments.

Next.

He cast "Final War (Good)" twice more in succession, and it still failed, but Tang Zheng already had a clear line of thought.

Pity.

He could only cast this magic three times a day, so Tang Zheng could only wait until the next day when he could cast magic again to continue the experiment.

Another three days passed.

The entire ritual still looked like the "Death Spiral Ritual," but in reality, many details had been completely changed.

"Hoo—"

Tang Zheng took a deep breath and stood at the very center of the entire ritual: "There should be no problem now; if it still doesn't succeed, it can only prove that the previous conjecture was wrong."

"—'Final War (Good)'"

Boom!

A huge white bubbling vortex appeared above his head.

Angels flew out of the vortex one by one, finally gathering into an angel legion in the sky.

"Dispel!" Tang Zheng shouted in a low voice.

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

Numerous angels decomposed into a large number of white holy light spots and began to dissipate in the air.

"Ritual activation!"

Tang Zheng's breathing paused, and he quickly injected magic power into the "Death Spiral Ritual" under his feet.

Dong—

Faint blue magic patterns spread rapidly from Tang Zheng as the center in all directions, forming an invisible gravitational force, attracting the holy energy that was about to dissipate in the air!

The fine light spots were pulled by the magic power and began to gather into the ritual.

In an instant!

The white light turned into a holy torrent and injected into the ritual, then gathered toward the center, dyeing Tang Zheng's entire body snow-white.

Hum—

The attribute panel vibrated and appeared before his eyes.

'Obtained 1 experience point'

'Obtained 1 experience point'

'............'

'Obtained 1 experience point'

'Obtained 1 experience point'

Tang Zheng widened his eyes slightly, looking at the experience acquisition information scrolling rapidly on the attribute panel, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes:

"It worked!"

A full 5 minutes passed.

The light spots from the hundreds of angels finally disappeared completely.

【Experience Slot: 658160/510000】

↓

【Experience Slot: 1158160/510000】

"An increase of a full 500,000 experience?"

"For others, it's really a losing business!"

Tang Zheng looked at the experience points gained in the experience slot, his mouth curled up, and he smiled brightly.

Casting "Final War (Good)" requires 80 magic points and 1.5 million experience points; using the Death Spiral Ritual, one can harvest 500,000 experience points.

If it were a normal situation, this would be a huge loss.

But Tang Zheng could use the job skill "Crazy Meditation" to cast this magic without consumption, effectively earning 500,000 experience points purely.

Casting it three times a day meant he could gain 1.5 million experience!
