Chapter 91

Tang Zheng walked toward the broken steps of the temple and arrived beside Khajiit's corpse; a rich, fishy smell with a hint of foul odor permeated the air.

With eyes wide open in death, the head full of unwillingness rolled to one side.

Seeing this scene.

Tang Zheng let out a light sigh.

It was not pity for Khajiit, but suddenly realizing that, unknowingly, he no longer had any discomfort with such a scene.

The slaughter of goblins in the Tob Great Forest for more than a month seemed to have indeed caused a certain change in his temperament.

Think about his past life, he hadn't even killed a chicken.

Didn't expect that after crossing into this world, in only about two months, he had already completely adapted.

Reached out and picked up the other party's Shadow Staff and bone necklace, these two magic items.

The blood-red robe the other party was wearing was also a magic item, but it was destroyed by the Flame Archangel's attack, which made Tang Zheng feel a bit regretful.

This blood-red robe should be worth quite a bit of money.

The two magic items were identified; both were related to the necromancy class, and for Tang Zheng, they were of little use.

"You four stay behind and guard outside for now."

Tang Zheng pointed casually at the four Flame Archangels, letting them guard outside the temple.

Then.

He took two Flame Archangels and walked toward the dark passage below the temple.

About seven or eight minutes or so.

Tang Zheng walked up from the dark passage below again; besides getting some dust on his body, he had no gains.

There was simply nothing of value inside; he had wasted his expectations.

"Burn it."

Tang Zheng waved his hand and gave the order to the Flame Archangels.

Several Flame Archangels immediately flew forward, using the flame swords in their hands to touch Khajiit's corpse, and in a moment, it was burned into fly ash.

Among them, a Flame Archangel flew toward Khajiit's severed arm.

"Wait."

Tang Zheng's gaze moved, and he suddenly spoke.

Walked forward.

Picked up this severed arm, and then found a piece of rag to wrap it up.

"Time to leave."

Tang Zheng looked up toward the direction of the city wall in the night sky and returned along the way he came.

Outside the tightly closed heavy gate.

On the two watchtowers illuminated by the light of "perpetual light."

One by one, the guards looked toward the depths of the graveyard with some horror.

"What exactly happened in the graveyard, why is there light appearing?"

"Should we report...?"

"Stupid!"

"What happens in the graveyard has nothing to do with us; it's night now."

A trembling voice sounded immediately.

"But."

"Don't 'but' me, idiot, our mission is to prevent the undead from impacting the gate."

"Are there undead rushing into the gate now!"

"What happens in the graveyard has nothing to do with us."

"It won't be too late to report when it's dawn, let that group of adventurers go in and investigate."

Voices that were messy and fearful sounded continuously on the two watchtowers.

And Tang Zheng's figure had already successfully flipped over the wall and disappeared into the night.

When returning to the inn.

It was already around two o'clock in the middle of the night.

Tang Zheng used the small alley as a foothold, easily climbed to the second floor, and returned to the room through the window.

"Awoo!"

The small Evil Spirit Dog saw the returning Tang Zheng and immediately climbed up from the ground, emitting an excited low growl.

"Shh!" Tang Zheng raised his finger and placed it beside his mouth.

"Woo~" The small Evil Spirit Dog lowered its voice, wagging its tail, and stepped forward to rub its head against Tang Zheng's trouser leg.

"So good, Xiao Hei."

Tang Zheng chuckled, feeling that this small Evil Spirit Dog was really similar to a dog.

"Take a bath first, there's a rotten smell on my body."

Tang Zheng took off the black robe wrapped around his body and casually threw the rag wrapping Khajiit's arm into a corner to one side.

Entered the narrow bathroom in the room.

The magic "Deodorize" can eliminate the smell on the body, but Tang Zheng was more willing to take a bath to make himself more comfortable.

A moment later.

Following a burst of white steam.

Tang Zheng walked out of the shower room and saw the small Evil Spirit Dog lying in the corner, opening the package wrapping Khajiit's arm, staring curiously at that arm.

"There is negative energy inside; if you eat it, you should die a bit faster." Tang Zheng said faintly.

"Woo." The small Evil Spirit Dog didn't understand the meaning of Tang Zheng's words, but through the expression on Tang Zheng's face, it sensed something, shrank its head, and took a few steps back on its own.

He glanced at the pale, withered arm. Tang Zheng retracted his gaze; he didn't have any bad hobbies, like collecting corpses.

It was just that when the Flame Archangel was about to dispose of this arm, Tang Zheng suddenly remembered.

In the anime, Khajiit and Clementine were both slaughtered by the "Darkness" adventurer party disguised by Ainz.

The corpses of the two suddenly disappeared from the storage place.

Ainz didn't care about such a situation, but Tang Zheng couldn't not care.

The disappearance of the corpses had only two possibilities; one was that they were stolen by someone, and there were still people from 【Zuranon】 or forces under the other party in "E-Rantel."

Another possibility.

Was that they were resurrected by someone.

Tang Zheng brought this arm back just to determine if it was the second situation.

Once the dead are resurrected, the remaining parts of the resurrected person's body will also disappear along with it.

=9+Book_Bar

As for the location after resurrection, it is at the position of the caster.

The leader of 【Zuranon】 is very mysterious.

Tang Zheng actually had a suspicion that whether it was Khajiit or Clementine, who defected from the "Black Scripture," they were both people from the Slane Theocracy.

So he had a guess, whether the leader of 【Zuranon】 was also a person from the Slane Theocracy!

In the Slane Theocracy, there exist the Six Scriptures troops, which on the surface correspond to the Six Great Gods, but in reality, the strongest troop among them, the "Black Scripture," is composed of the strongest members selected from the other five troops.

Rather than saying it corresponds to one of the Six Great Gods, it is better to say it is a special troop synthesized from the other five-colored troops!

The five human players among the Six Great Gods died the earliest, and only the heteromorphic Death God player lived the longest.

And it was precisely this Death God who lived the longest; the members of the Slane Theocracy who believe in the "Death God" are mysterious.

Or rather, on the surface, it's as if they don't exist at all.

This is also the reason why Tang Zheng suspected that the leader of 【Zuranon】 was a person from the Slane Theocracy.

Because "Resurrection Magic" is the domain of faith-based magic!

Magic-type magic casters cannot master resurrection magic; even Ainz cannot do this.

The reason Ainz can use resurrection magic is because he stores a large number of resurrection items, as well as pay-to-win items that cost nothing.

He himself did not master resurrection magic.

"Why does it feel like there are so many old schemers in this world." Tang Zheng rubbed his temples and walked toward the bedside.

"Awoo!"

Suddenly, the small Evil Spirit Dog let out a low growl.

Tang Zheng's footsteps paused, he turned his head to look behind him, and found that the small Evil Spirit Dog was looking vigilantly at that severed arm.

Whoosh—

Khajiit's severed arm was emitting a blue faint light, and in the blink of an eye, the entire arm disappeared into thin air like melting snow.

Hum—

"Found skill 'Resurrection of the Dead · Modified,' requirement magic-type magic caster level (29～35), current conditions met."

"Whether to consume skill points to learn?"

【Skill Points: 40→39】

Skill: Resurrection of the Dead · Modified (Fifth Rank)

Consumption: 25 (50)

Introduction: Original faith-based magic "Resurrection of the Dead," modified through special means, consuming double the magic power, can be activated by magic-type magic casters.

Note: This magic can be combined with special means to reduce the requirement for the degree of damage to the corpse.

Looking at the information appearing on the panel.

Tang Zheng's expression became a bit strange, and the corners of his mouth curled: "Luck is really bad, not only guessed wrong, but this leader looks even more troublesome than imagined."

Although he said so, it could be heard from his tone that Tang Zheng's mood seemed not bad.

An unknown place.

The entire earth presented a dark brown color as if stained by blood, and an invisible mist permeated the air, making the light shone down by the moon reflect a dark red color.

"Caw!"

"Caw!"

A crow-like chirping sound sounded from above.

This was not the sound of a crow, but a sound similar to it emitted by some kind of bird undead whose throat was affected.

In this area, there should not exist any living creatures.

Unwillingness!

Anger!

Despair!

Various negative emotions filled Khajiit's heart, and the fear of death made his whole body tremble.

Why is there still consciousness?

Shouldn't he be dead?

This thought suddenly flashed through Khajiit's mind, and immediately after, as if some kind of reaction occurred, he opened his eyes fiercely.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

Khajiit sat up, panting heavily, and the look of horror and despair in his eyes had not completely subsided.

"Truly interesting."

"I remember, you should be in 'E-Rantel,' that kind of small place, there shouldn't be anyone who can threaten you."

A faint, harsh sound like two iron rods rubbing together sounded from the front.

Khajiit raised his head and saw a figure wrapped in pitch black; that was not because of the influence of clothes, but the magic power dissipating from the other party's body had already influenced reality,

Thereby causing the entire figure to be shrouded in pitch black.

"Lea, Leader."

Khajiit's whole body trembled, and he quickly crawled up and knelt on the ground.
