Chapter 349: Is This the Capacity of the Holy Kingdom? Trump Card

"Peach" Isadoro noticed Tang Zheng's calm appearance, also picked up the black tea on the table, and was lost in thought.

The mission of this visit to the Slane Theocracy was not complicated; one of the most important items was to follow the instructions of Lady Kelart and win over this adamant-ranked "Free Will" Team Leader Tang as much as possible.

However, through these days of observation.

He realized that the Theocracy seemed to value this Team Leader Tang even more than Lady Kelart had anticipated.

Especially the things that happened today.

Made "Peach" Isadoro have to consider more deeply.

Standing from the perspective of the country.

Because of an adventurer, letting the country have a conflict with the Theocracy was something that needed to be avoided as much as possible!

"Peach" Isadoro had a thought of giving up on this Team Leader Tang in his heart, even though he also appreciated the other party.

After all, the other party was both an adventurer.

And a person from the "Re-Estize Kingdom"; even if he could be won over, the benefits obtained would be very limited.

"I don't care if that old guy is really dead or fake dead!"

"Now the Theocracy's behavior is forcibly restricting us, this group of self-righteous guys!"

Remedios's face was unhappy, and she spoke annoyedly.

"Captain..." "Peach" Isadoro's face turned bitter, and he hurriedly spoke to stop her.

"Shut up!"

Remedios's eyes widened, and her sharp gaze swept toward "Peach" Isadoro: "Repeated concessions will only lead to the Theocracy becoming even more unscrupulous!"

Speaking of this!

Remedios turned her head, her fluffy brown short hair slightly raised, and she looked at Tang Zheng enthusiastically, her tone adding a hint of excitement: "Shall we make a big scene? How about it, Tang?"

"For example, first catch that annoying Clementine, break her hands and feet or something; anyway, the Theocracy also knows that I have had several conflicts with her."

"As long as I don't kill her, the Theocracy can't do anything to me."

Remedios spoke arrogantly.

This was not arrogance, but a fact; with Remedios's status, as long as she didn't kill Clementine, the Theocracy really wouldn't expand this matter.

"Captain!"

"Peach" Isadoro's face changed completely, and his voice deepened.

It would be fine to say such things in private!

Now not only saying it in front of outsiders, but also, the attitude revealed in the captain's words would also let Team Leader Tang further understand their attitude, and even grasp a certain initiative.

"For the honor of the Holy Kingdom!" Remedios retorted unceremoniously.

"Peach" Isadoro opened his mouth.

Tang Zheng held the black tea cup, his gaze sweeping over "Black" Pavel, who had been silent all along.

Although these three were all "Nine Colors."

Pavel's status was clearly the lowest; Remedios and the other were the captain and vice-captain of the Holy Knight Order, more familiar and close, and their status was about the same.

The two were talking, and "Black" Pavel had no qualification to interrupt.

Sharp intuition.

Made "Black" Pavel feel Tang Zheng's gaze for the first time; just as he wanted to nod in response, his narrow eyelids suddenly became terrifying.

Bang!

"Who?"

"Black" Pavel stood up suddenly, his gaze as ruthless as a needle, coldly scanning the entire hall, and then took out a black short staff from his pocket,

"Life Detection!"

The short staff emitted a faint green light.

Forming magic power fluctuations invisible to the naked eye, quickly probing the surroundings.

"What's wrong?"

Remedios also followed with a cold face.

After observing for a short while.

"Lord Remedios, I just sensed someone staring here."

"Black" Pavel's short staff light dissipated, and a look of doubt and hesitation appeared on his face behind the mask, and then he responded respectfully:

"It's just... I didn't find anything; maybe it was an illusion."

Remedios's expression eased slightly.

A trace of surprise flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes; it should be said that "Black" Pavel was worthy of being an "Outrider" in the Heroic Realm, his intuition was indeed sharp.

There were not only the four of them in the room at this moment.

To be precise, there were 5 people in total!

'Discovered skill "Ninjutsu: Concealment," requires high-tier class 【Ninja】, current conditions met'

'Do you want to consume one skill point to learn?'

Tang Zheng's gaze swept across the attribute panel in front of him; he had already sensed it when he entered the room.

Ninja class?

If it weren't for what Remedios just said, causing the hidden person to move.

I'm afraid "Black" Pavel wouldn't have discovered it from beginning to end.

Such strength and class.

The only one who met the conditions was "Heaven and Earth" of the 【Black Scripture】.

It was really valued by the Theocracy.

In such a short time, he had already seen several members of the 【Black Scripture】 in a row.

However!

This was a good thing for Tang Zheng instead.

The members of the 【Black Scripture】 were dispatched one after another, which instead indicated that the number of powerhouses in the Heroic Realm within the Theocracy was about the same as described in the original work.

"This is the Theocracy's territory after all."

Tang Zheng pretended to be natural, placed the black tea cup in his hand on the table, and smiled:

"We are restricted now, maybe we are being watched."

"Heaven and Earth," hidden in the hall, carefully retreated backward, leaning more against the wall, and cold sweat appeared on the face of the invisible person.

"Almost discovered!"

"Monitoring 4 powerhouses in the Heroic Realm is a hard job."

The figure dressed as a ninja in red and black tight clothes muttered in his heart.

The consequences of being discovered would be very troublesome!

And one against four, even with his strength, he didn't dare to be careless at all.

"Tang, how about my proposal just now?" Remedios asked with renewed anticipation, full of eagerness.

"Although I'm also a bit unhappy, this can't be considered a good proposal."

Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Actually, I have a better idea."

"Okay." Remedios was quite disappointed, but didn't continue to insist.

This attitude made "Peach" Isadoro feel surprised in his heart; he knew the captain's personality very well, and she would be relatively persistent about things she wanted to do.

To put it bluntly, it was stubborn!

When did she become so easy to talk to?

If he said that, the response would definitely be "This is an order or something," and it would take a lot of effort to dispel the captain's unreliable idea.

"Team Leader Tang, what are your thoughts?"

"Peach" Isadoro suppressed the doubt in his heart and spoke solemnly.

He didn't intend to let the captain respond, otherwise, with the captain's "wisdom," it would be easy to be led by the nose by the other party and make unpredictable results.

"Everyone must be curious about the real reason why the Slane Theocracy invited me here."

Tang Zheng's palm tapped lightly on the table, while secretly paying attention to the movements of the "Heaven and Earth" hidden, and continued to speak:

"Do you remember the "Dominion Authority Angel" summoned by Captain Nigun in the Abelion Hills incident?"

As soon as these words came out.

The expressions of the three Remedios froze; any person who saw that powerful and terrifying angel would be deeply impressed.

Even if Remedios was stupid, she knew that it was absolutely not a power that humans could resist!

"Peach" Isadoro saw Tang Zheng suddenly mention this angel possessing Demon God power, and thought of even more.

"Angels or other summoned monsters all have time limitations; this is also one of the drawbacks of summoning magic."

Tang Zheng's voice suddenly lowered a bit: "And the Theocracy used the "Fusion Potion" to make angel monsters have the possibility of existing for a longer time."

He generally informed them of some of the information in the data studied by the Theocracy.

The entire hall suddenly quieted down!

The expressions of Remedios, "Peach" Isadoro, and "Black" Pavel changed completely, full of solemnity and disbelief.

Not stopped?

Tang Zheng observed that "Heaven and Earth" had no intention of stopping him after he revealed this information.

"Just responsible for monitoring?"

"Or just simply to prevent the leakage of Zesshi Zetsumei's information."

Several thoughts flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, looking at the three from the Holy Kingdom, he suddenly noticed that "Peach" Isadoro's face was somewhat ugly.

And Remedios and "Black" Pavel were more surprised and unbelievable!

"So that's how it is."

Tang Zheng understood in his heart why "Heaven and Earth" or the people of the Theocracy didn't care about him telling the people of the Holy Kingdom the information about the potion.

"Your potion actually has such a role!"

Remedios looked at Tang Zheng excitedly after being surprised, her tone excited:

"No wonder the Theocracy would snatch the potion you gave us after they couldn't find you, this group of despicable guys!"

"That old guy died at just the right time; restricting us at this time should be to not let you leave."

Remedios learned to think at this moment, stood up unconsciously, paced on the spot, and her sharp gaze became more and more firm:

"We must not let such a precious potion fall into the hands of the Theocracy!"

"We should now..."

"No!"

A voice with a sense of oppression sounded.

The usually peaceful "Peach" Isadoro showed his spirit as the vice-captain of the Holy Knight Order for the first time, forcibly interrupting Remedios's words.

"Sorry, Team Leader Tang."

"This matter is too important; we need to return to the Holy Kingdom and discuss it with His Highness and the ministers before we can decide."

"Peach" Isadoro also stood up, bowed slightly to Tang Zheng, and expressed his apologies.

Clearly, he already had the intention of cutting ties with Tang Zheng!

"Peach" Isadoro's expression was tense, and a trace of fear flashed in the depths of his eyes.

It wasn't that he wasn't greedy for this power.

But this "benefit" had already exceeded the price their Holy Kingdom could pay!

How powerful the "Dominion Authority Angel" was, as one of the witnesses of the Hills incident, he naturally knew it exceptionally well.

If the Theocracy used the power of the potion to create "Dominion Authority Angels" that could exist for a long time, just one would be enough to collapse the entire Holy Kingdom's defense line!

And even if the potion fell into their Holy Kingdom's hands, they didn't have the Theocracy's ability to summon the highest-tier angels.

The country simply didn't have the equivalent power to contend with it!

When the "benefit" far exceeds the price that can be paid, then "benefit" and "greed" will become poison!

"Captain, let's leave for now."

"Peach" Isadoro turned around and spoke to Remedios; to prevent the captain from getting hot-headed, he said seriously:

"This was instructed by Lady Kelart in advance; the subordinate has the right to make the final decision!"

Remedios felt embarrassed; as her subordinate, he actually refuted his superior: "Who do you think you are talking to!"

Seeing the situation before him.

"Haha."

Tang Zheng leaned back on the sofa in a relaxed manner and suddenly laughed out loud:

"Is this the capacity of the Holy Kingdom?"

Remedios, "Peach" Isadoro, and "Black" Pavel all looked over in unison.

"Team Leader Tang..." "Peach" Isadoro's face was ugly.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to mock."

Tang Zheng interrupted directly, his expression calm:

"Have you ever thought about why I invited you to come to the Holy Kingdom with me?"

"Is it just to guard against the Theocracy?"

He had never thought that the Holy Kingdom would have a direct conflict with the Slane Theocracy for the little potential he displayed.

To put it bluntly.

The interests of the country are above everything!

If the "price" paid is higher than the "benefit," even the most ordinary merchant knows how to choose.

Since he dared to come to the Slane Theocracy, Tang Zheng even secretly planned to connect the two countries and the Hills area into a straight line, naturally having a trump card.

And this trump card was on the Holy Kingdom!

The few people in the Holy Kingdom felt that their side didn't have the conditions to be on par with the Slane Theocracy, which was completely wrong.

This time, it was the Holy Kingdom that occupied the advantage!

And exposing strength to use tough means to bring them together.

This was the worst choice before the Great Tomb descended; he didn't want to be targeted by anyone before Ainz appeared.

"And the only one who can fully exert this advantage—is me!"

The smile on Tang Zheng's cheeks became more and more intense, and his gaze became deep as he looked at the few people from the Holy Kingdom:

"Everyone, although I am an adventurer, I also know that those who can sit at the negotiating table to negotiate conditions must possess equivalent qualifications."

"Although I don't know if you will believe what I say, as long as you assist me next, this negotiation will yield benefits far beyond your imagination."

"To be precise, it is to possess a trump card that is completely on par with the Slane Theocracy!"

"Peach" Isadoro frowned deeply; he didn't believe what Tang Zheng said.

How could the other party know the country's foundation and strength better than himself, even if he didn't want to admit it in his heart.

"Peach" Isadoro also knew that the Slane Theocracy was more powerful than the Holy Kingdom.

"I believe you, Tang!"

"What do we need to do next?" Remedios spoke carelessly without hesitation.

"Captain!" "Peach" Isadoro's cheeks twitched, and he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

Why did Lady Kelart arrange for the captain to come along? If he had known this, it would have been better to arrange for another vice-captain to assist.
