Quaiesse·Haseya·Quintia!

Tang Zheng Seeing the sudden appearance of this blond young man with a gentle smile on his face, his name flashed quickly in his mind.

Why are people from [Black Scripture] here?

If Tang Zheng was just a little wary before, now he was completely on guard inside.

[Black Scripture] is the most mysterious and strongest unit among Slane Theocracy Six Scriptures. The only condition for joining this unit is that you must reach Hero Realm.

Tang Zheng was able to recognize the other party immediately because the other party's sister is the famous "Funny Sis", formerly the ninth seat of [Black Scripture], and Clementine with the code name "Windstride".

The appearance of the two people is 80% similar, and it is difficult to admit their mistake.

"It's really thrilling, are you okay?" Quaiesse walked out of the forest, looked at Tang Zheng and said in a gentle tone.

She has short golden hair that covers her forehead, a soft face, and a kind temperament in every gesture, making anyone who sees him feel good about her for the first time.

"Thank you."

Tang Zheng spoke softly, pretending to be relieved, and at the same time his heart moved.

Quaiesse is not carrying a mask or anything else to cover his face, so the other person should be alone.

Because [Black Scripture] belongs to a secret force within the secret force, the identities of all members are kept secret. When going on missions, they will carry masks or something to hide their identities.

Because everyone in [Black Scripture], in addition to their secret identity, also have other identities in Slane Theocracy.

"Sorry, I was a little late and almost got you hurt."

Quaiesse first spoke apologetically, then introduced himself:

"I am a missionary of Slane Theocracy's faith "Earth God". Because I could not confirm the criminal evidence of the other party, I have been hiding in secret."

"You should have seen just now that the other party colluded with Demi-Human Species and is an extremely dangerous person."

Just a few simple sentences.

Quaiesse clearly introduces the reasons for hiding in secret and his positive identity.

Slane Theocracy's concept of "Human Supremacy" is widely spread in various countries, so the other party's behavior and the reason for appearing here are completely tenable.

Especially the brown Holy Seal on the opponent's chest further proves this point. "Holy Seal" is a magic item that can only be issued by churches in various places.

It is both a symbol of status and a kind of proof.

Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes imperceptibly, realizing that what the other party said was false.

The Quaiesse in front of me is one of the few Slane Theocracy who believes in one of Six Great Gods, "God of Death", not "Earth God".

But as far as the current situation is concerned, this is not important!

"I don't care about what's going on between you." Tang Zheng showed the sense of alert that a normal adventurer would have when facing this situation, and pulled Barghest's Bone Chains.

Pretend to give up the battlefield and take the initiative to retreat.

The two people in front of me, one is a member of [Black Scripture], the other has an even more mysterious identity, and their strength has reached Hero Realm.

It cannot be solved by ordinary means!

Tang Zheng's attitude toward people like Slane Theocracy is to keep a respectful distance. At present, he has absolutely no intention of having any contact with people like Slane Theocracy, especially people like [Black Scripture].

When Quaiesse saw Tang Zheng who was about to retreat, his crimson pupils flashed and he was about to speak.

"Hehe... hehe."

Opposite, Gray-robed Magic Caster lowered his head, shook his shoulders constantly, and let out a hoarse laugh, and then the laughter became louder and louder:

"Hahahahaha!!"

"It's so funny. You're so pretentious, like a self-directed clown."

The panic and unexpected emotion that Gray-robed Magic Caster showed just now at the sudden appearance of Quaiesse has disappeared.

At this moment.

Gray-robed Magic Caster cracked the corners of his mouth, revealing a ferocious look on his face, and looked at Quaiesse with his cold eyes. "Do you know why I explain my masterpiece to you?"

"You really think that I will make such stupid and ignorant mistakes like the bad guy in the storybook. You really think of me as a fool and a villain!"

This sentence is obviously meant for Tang Zheng.

However.

Gray-robed Magic Caster's eyes were fixed on Quaiesse from beginning to end. "Of course I told him."

"This excellent masterpiece is a perfect match for your Innate Talent, the Quintia boy."

"You've been staring at me for a long time, right? If Frogman's Egg hadn't been completely successfully produced, you would never have appeared based on your caution."

"What are you sorry for? What's too late? How can a person like you care about others? This is a hunter's game."

"You have set your sights on my masterpiece, and I have set my sights on your Innate Talent. Your blood will be the last step in completing my masterpiece."

Gray-robed Magic Caster opened his arms with fiery eyes. "It's interesting to think about it. A loyal believer in Six Great Gods actually plans to borrow the power of Demi-Human Species."

The wild and harsh Taunt laughter resounded through the jungle.

Quaiesse stood quietly, with a gentle smile still on his face, but the surrounding air pressure seemed to drop for an instant.

He was obviously laughing, but there was something chilling about him.

"Where is that man?"

Quaiesse spoke softly, as if asking a friend.

Slane Theocracy possesses the magic that specifically tests Innate Talent, but personal Innate Talent is still a secret, and Theocracy itself will not be leaked.

Especially when he is a member of [Black Scripture], and the only one who can know about his Innate Talent and leak it is that man!

"Who knows." Gray-robed Magic Caster spread his hands.

Hear the conversation between the two.

Tang Zheng suddenly sighed, "It seems that I am completely used as a pawn by the two of you to test each other."

"By the way, can I pretend that I didn't hear what you just said?"

Gray-robed Magic Caster glanced at Tang Zhong with his light brown eyes, as if he were looking at a dead person, with no interest at all.

Because he knew that the other side would kill this talented black-haired young man without him taking action now.

If you want to blame it, blame it on your bad luck.

Almost at the same time!

A message appeared on Attribute Panel.

""Partner Contract I" has been disconnected!"

This is a situation where the monster will only be disconnected from the caster when it dies, but Barghest obviously did not die.

"Innate Talent?" This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind.

Wow!

Bone Chains on Barghest was shocked, and Tang Zheng was tied up and forcibly restrained on his back.

Four-Tailed Black Panther, who had just helped Tang Zheng resist the magic attack, had turned his head and opened his mouth, aiming at Tang Zheng and Barghest.

In an instant!

A breath of pure dark energy spurted out from the Black Panther's mouth and struck instantly.

Barghest's upper body was destroyed by dark energy, and Tang Zheng's figure flew out and hit the jungle in the distance.

Such a close-range dark energy attack, as a spellcaster specializing in Angel Summoning, who has no time to defend himself, has almost no chance of surviving.

"What a pity."

"Angel Summoning, who has mastered Fourth-Tier at such a young age, if it were placed elsewhere, I would definitely invite you to join Slane Theocracy."

Quaiesse glanced at it, then turned his head again and looked at Gray-robed Magic Caster calmly. "Have you thought about how to die?"

"I should be the one to say this to you!" Gray-robed Magic Caster's cold voice came.

And at this moment, the jungle in the distance!

In a pit of broken trees, broken branches and rotten leaves.

Tang Zheng stood up from the pit unscathed, holding only half of Barghest's body in his hand, his face extremely cold.

The Priest robe on his body had become tattered, and the White cloth was stained red by Barghest's blood.

40% of Dark Attribute Resistance plus Magic Defense is enough to easily withstand the dark energy impact of Four-Tailed Black Panther, but Barghest obviously cannot.

"Job Advancement!"

Tang Zheng flicked his wrist, and half of Barghest's corpse was put into Item Box, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Now, he wants to kill all those two guys, even if he exposes some of his strength!

Buzz--

"Job Advancement Success!"

(Note: For every level up, HP, MP, magic attack, Magic Defense increase by 15 points.)

Introduction: Everyone praises your talent, but behind the scenes, countless people describe you as a lunatic, a mediocre lunatic. No Magic Caster would do this like you!

Tang Zheng quickly scanned the information about the new profession, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and a thought came into his mind.

"1 point Skill Points consumption"

"Master the magic of Third-Tier Arcane System"Lightning Ball""

"1 point Skill Points consumption"

"Master the magic of Fourth-Tier Arcane System"Silver Knight Lance""

Tang Zheng pressed his palm against the open space in front of him, and a wooden barrel half a man's height appeared in front of him, which was filled with Ogre's blood.

Bang!

Tang Zheng kicked the barrel over with one kick.

Thick, bright red blood immediately spread all over the floor, and a strong smell of blood began to fill the air.

Lift your feet.

Tang Zheng walked into the pool of blood, not caring about the blood splashing on his body. He pulled out a branch next to him, leaned down and started drawing a magic circle in the pool of blood.

And now, on the other side.

Bang!

The dark energy impact collided with Lightning Ball, making a roar.

The next moment, Silver Knight Lance flew out of the thick fog.

Four-Tailed Black Panther, who had just finished spitting out the energy attack, his breath became weak, and he had no time to dodge, and watched helplessly as the attack was about to fall on him.

"Attack Deflection!"

Quaiesse raised the palm of his left hand and saw a magic ring on each finger. The ring on the thumb was the first to flash a gleam of light.

Silver Knight Lance, which was originally aimed at Four-Tailed Black Panther, suddenly tilted in mid-air and hit the ground beside it, creating a large crater.

"A magic item?"

"Then can you change the direction of this, Swarming Insects!" Gray-robed Magic Caster sneered, with magic power surging throughout his body.

Buzz--buzz--

Dense mosquitoes and flies appeared out of thin air like a black mist, densely packed and swarming forward.

"Lizards like to eat bugs the most." Quaiesse said calmly.

The aqua blue lizard that was originally controlled by "Fear" suddenly broke free from its restraints, opened its mouth, and bit the mosquitoes and flies.

However!

The moment these mosquitoes and flies came into contact with the aqua lizard, they all exploded and sprayed out a rich acidic liquid.

"Hiss--"

The aqua-blue lizard let out a painful scream and was forced to retreat step by step.

See this scene.

Quaiesse frowned slightly, and suddenly found that the figure of Gray-robed Magic Caster in the distance had disappeared.

"Gu Gu!" Crimson Owl, standing on his shoulders, turned his head and looked at a direction in front of him.

"Shadow Hunt!" Quaiesse raised the corner of his mouth.

Crimson Owl's wings shook, and he teleported away from Quaiesse's shoulders, disappearing all of a sudden.

Bang!

There was a muffled sound in the empty area, and the deep-throated owl that had just disappeared appeared out of thin air.

The figure of Gray-robed Magic Caster also stepped back from the state of Invisibility, took two steps back, and the magic barrier on his body flickered and collapsed.

"Damn it!"

Seeing Crimson Owl who was about to continue to pounce, Gray-robed Magic Caster had a look of ugliness on his cold face. He raised his hand and fired a magic spell. "Shockwave!"

The impact visible to the naked eye spread, knocking Crimson Owl away.

"Dire Wolf Summoning."

A faint voice sounded immediately after.

A huge magic circle with a diameter of three meters appeared at the feet of Quaiesse, and one Dire Wolf rushed out of the magic circle.

In the blink of an eye, more than 20 of them gathered, turned into a Dire Wolf swarm, and surrounded and killed the gray-robed Magic Caster.

"Dispel!" Gray-robed Magic Caster's light brown pupils flashed coldly and shouted loudly. He is good at dealing with summoning magic and it's not just talk.

The bodies of more than 20 Dire Wolf froze, and they all turned into magic light points and dissipated.

After a brief confrontation, the two sides regained distance.

Crimson Owl flew back, and the large aqua lizard and Four-Tailed Black Panther also returned to Quaiesse, surrounding each other.

"Monster Summoner, Beast Tamer, they really match your Innate Talent."

Gray-robed Magic Caster raised his aquiline nose and stared at Quaiesse with his light brown pupils, thinking deeply about countermeasures.

As Magic Caster, naturally he is not good at close combat. Facing the opponent's method of controlling Warcraft to fight, it is indeed a bit difficult to deal with it.

"If you only have these means, then please go..."

Quaiesse has roughly figured out Gray-robed Magic Caster's method. The opponent's magic power consumption just now is not low.

Whether it's hard attack or consumption competition, he has an absolute advantage.

The words are just half spoken!

Quaiesse's complexion suddenly changed, he turned his head sharply and looked in the direction behind him.

Gray-robed Magic Caster followed closely, his eyes focused.

A Terror thunder magic energy condensed from the jungle behind.

"Mana Boost·Fifth-Tier Magic·Dragon Lightning!"

A cold voice came from the jungle.

Dazzling blue White light bloomed instantly in the dark jungle environment, and a dragon-shaped thunder and lightning with two arms as thick as Quaiesse flashed through the jungle and struck at Quaiesse.

Thunder and lightning attacks are extremely fast, not to mention the magic of Fifth-Tier.

Quaiesse's expression changed, and Four-Tailed Black Panther beside him jumped up suddenly and blocked in front of him.

Boom!

The lightning attack fell on Four-Tailed Black Panther. Without even a scream, it turned into a piece of broken black coal and fell from the air.

The dazzling blue White light dissipates!

A jungle road pierced by lightning and scorched appeared in front of Quaiesse and Gray-robed Magic Caster.

Opposite!

The figure of Tang Zheng was standing there quietly, watching them with an extremely cold look.

"Fifth-Tier Magic"Dragon Lightning" was found, Arcane System Caster Level (29~35) is required, and the current conditions are met."

"Do you want to consume 1 Skill Points to learn?"

"Study."

Tang Zheng thought silently in his heart, and walked out of the jungle step by step with an expressionless face.

Through Magic Ritual of "Magic Boost", the magic of "Lightning Ball", Third-Tier, is upgraded to Fifth-Tier, and the more advanced "Dragon Lightning" is used.

Of course, under normal circumstances, this process will consume 150 magic points.

But!

[Mad Magic Caster]'s professional skills directly offset this magic power consumption.
