Chapter 83

Upper Fire Month, July 15th.

This is the eighth day since arriving in "E-Rantel."

Tang Zheng's original plan was to change some supplies and equipment and then head to the Baharuth Empire, but the acquisition of scroll creation technology.

Made him temporarily change his plan; in these few days.

Tang Zheng spent almost all his energy on making magic scrolls, even consuming a skill point for this, raising "Papermaking" to the Third Rank.

Skill: Papermaking (Third Rank)

Consumption: 15MP Effect: Create 500 sheets of high-quality paper.

Second Rank Papermaking can make 700 sheets of Second Rank paper, but at the Third Rank, it can only make 500 sheets.

Like making Second Rank magic scrolls, making Third Rank magic scrolls also requires consuming twenty sheets of Third Rank paper.

His current magic power value is 28 points; because he does not have a true magic caster class, magic power value can only recover one point every hour on average.

In a day, the total magic power value he can use is 52 points.

To make a Second Rank magic scroll, one needs to first consume 5 points of magic power to make the scroll, then activate the magic with the enchantment effect "Second Rank · Magic Accumulation," and then inject the Second Rank magic into the scroll.

This process requires a total of 25 points of magic power.

And to make a Third Rank scroll, it requires 30 points of magic power.

Spending more than a day to make one Third Rank magic scroll and one Second Rank magic scroll.

Eight days passed.

Counting the ones made today, Tang Zheng currently has 10 more "Third Rank · Angel Summoning" magic scrolls in his hand, as well as 5 "Second Rank · Angel Summoning" magic scrolls.

"Ten Flame Archangels should be able to suppress the other party. Five Guardian Angels will be used for information deception."

Tang Zheng sat on the inn bed, looking at the 15 magic scrolls placed in front of him; his eye bags were slightly dark, but his gaze was filled with solemnity and seriousness.

"Still not enough, need to be more stable, prepare for two more days and make a few more magic scrolls."

Thinking of this.

Tang Zheng waved his hand at the magic scrolls in front of him, and they were all collected into that item box.

In these few days, by calculating the time, in order not to have any loss during the magic power recovery process, regardless of day or night, as long as the magic power was sufficient, Tang Zheng would immediately make magic scrolls.

This also caused his eye bags to be a bit dark, making Tang Zheng inexplicably think of the unlucky days of punching in at work in his past life.

No way around it, his current magic power is too scarce, and every point of magic power must be used reasonably.

Although the "Magic Swordsman" class can increase magic power, at the current stage, or rather, before obtaining the "Cursed Knight" and "Valkyrie" classes, he likely won't level up "Magic Swordsman."

Naturally.

Before this, Tang Zheng also won't waste experience points by taking on mid-to-high-rank magic classes.

This is why! Tang Zheng set his sights on Khajiit, one of the twelve disciples of 【Zuranon】 hidden in "E-Rantel."

To be precise, it is the magic item "Orb of Death" in the other party's hand.

The item "Orb of Death."

Its most eye-catching feature is that it is a magic item with independent intelligence that does not exist at all in the "YGGDRASIL" game.

Another feature.

Is that it can autonomously absorb negative energy for storage!

This ability, whether in the anime or the light novel version, is actually not very eye-catching.

Tang Zheng didn't care much at first, but after obtaining the "Magic Swordsman" class, especially the characteristics shown by the passive "Magic Infusion" provided by this class.

A thought suddenly flashed through Tang Zheng's mind.

Whether it is possible to combine this passive ability with the storage ability of the Orb of Death.

What is negative energy? For undead-type magic casters, it is nothing more than another kind of magic power or special energy. Since the "Orb of Death" can store energy, can it also store magic power? After all, magic power also belongs to a type of energy.

Especially by using the "Magic Infusion" ability to forcefully inject magic power into it, making the "Orb of Death" a magic item specifically for storing magic power.

Of course!

This is just Tang Zheng's current speculation; whether it can truly be realized depends on getting this magic item into his hands.

After all!

Whether it is "YGGDRASIL" or the Other World, there are no potions that recover magic power.

If one wants to increase one's own magic power, recovery speed, reduce magic power consumption, etc., one can only rely on classes, top-tier magic items, or even pay-to-win items.

Tang Zheng cannot compare with Ainz on these things.

Otherwise!

At the current stage, Tang Zheng would have no need to provoke an organization like 【Zuranon】.

In the eyes of ordinary people.

An organization like "Eight Fingers," which spreads throughout the entire Kingdom's underworld, is already a terrifying existence.

Then 【Zuranon】 is a secret cult organization capable of threatening various countries!

The entire organization has only 13 people, with twelve disciples under its banner, as well as a mysterious leader.

In the anime and light novels, among the information exposed, there are only two disciples; besides Khajiit, who is currently in "E-Rantel."

The other one is Clementine, a member of the "Black Scripture," the strongest scripture among the Six Scriptures of the Slane Theocracy, also jokingly called the "Funny Sister."

And Clementine, who possesses strength in the upper tier of the Heroic Realm, has as many as three people among the twelve disciples who are stronger than her.

As for Khajiit, he doesn't even make the ranking.

At the current point in time, Tang Zheng is also not sure if Clementine has already joined 【Zuranon】.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Tang Zheng has five more Second Rank magic scrolls in his hand; he originally planned to prepare to make Third Rank magic scrolls.

However, in order to make his strategy more deceptive, he prepared a few other types of magic to guard against unexpected situations.

In these few days.

Besides making magic scrolls, Tang Zheng rarely left the inn on the surface, while in secret, he gradually disposed of the beast corpses and magical beast corpses harvested from the Tob Great Forest.

Especially that magical beast, the Black-Green Great Snake, which took quite some time.

The funds in his hand suddenly reached 1200 gold coins, but now, only 600 gold coins remain.

In order to move more conveniently in the dark night, he spent a huge sum of half his wealth to purchase a magic item.

At this moment, it is already late at night.

The streetlights enchanted with perpetual light were turned off one after another, making the night sky, obscured by dark clouds, become even deeper and darker.

"Awoo."

The small Evil Spirit Dog lying by the window noticed the darkening street at the first moment, and the bone chain protruded, touching Tang Zheng, who was sitting on the bed with his eyes closed to rest.

"Is it time?"

Tang Zheng opened his eyes, glanced toward the window, and picked up the black robe that had been placed to one side, wrapping it around himself.

Swish! A bottle of magic potion appeared in Tang Zheng's palm; without the slightest hesitation, he drank it in one gulp.

"Stay in the room, this time you don't need to go out with me." Tang Zheng waved his hand at the small Evil Spirit Dog and said faintly; a hoarse voice like that of a middle-aged man came from Tang Zheng's mouth.

This is exactly the effect of the potion he just drank; it's very cheap, and only one gold coin is needed to temporarily change one's voice.

"Awoo~" The small Evil Spirit Dog's light green beast eyes showed disappointment, and the bone chain on its body swayed a few times.

Step! Tang Zheng had already arrived at the window, his figure leaped, easily flipping over the window, and landed in the small alley below.
