A cold voice sounded in the room.

Remedios's fair cheeks were tense, seeming a little angry.

As the leader of Holy Knights, and one of the people with the highest status in the entire Holy Kingdom, she has never met anyone like Tang Zheng who dares not to give her face, or even talks coldly to her.

Kelart is very calm, with a vague smile always on his friendly-looking face.

The two of them are not wearing the same clothes as when Battle was at this moment.

Kelart is wearing a white dress, tied up with a light blue waist, dotted with pearls and fine diamonds, making the waist visually only the size of a palm, and making the upper body look amazing!

Remedios's attire is obviously more heterogeneous or neutral than the normal aristocratic dress. The upper body is quite regular, with a white shawl.

He wears a pair of black hunting trousers on his lower body, and brown animal skin boots on his feet. Perhaps because of his sitting posture, his slender legs look somewhat rounded and powerful through the tight trousers.

Same brown hair and almost the same face!

It's quite a unique surprise for the two of them to sit together.

"The purpose of coming to the Holy Kingdom is to obtain the blood of Demi-Human."

Tang Zheng stood up and looked at Kelart sitting opposite:

"Now that the matter is over, Abelion Hills is much safer, and there are better ways to obtain it, it's almost time to leave."

""Assimilation Potion"If there is any progress, it will not be too late to send someone to Abelion Hills to contact me."

"Leave?"

Kelart spoke in surprise. She indeed guessed that "Free Will" had plans to leave Holy Kingdom. This interview actually had the intention of retaining him.

But I didn't expect that the other party would go to Abelion Hills. Even though Demi-Human has suffered heavy losses now, it is still a dangerous zone.

Is it the confidence brought by the Demi-Human member "Martial Lord" Go Jin and the other Abelion Hills member?

No.

In terms of the opponent's own strength alone, none of the current Demi-Human strong men can threaten him.

"Getting Demi-Human's blood may not be a lie, or there may be something in Abelion Hills that attracts the other party." Kelart's eyes flashed.

"If Team Leader Tang would like to think about it again, we..."

Kelart stood up and spoke.

"I have no intention of taking refuge with you Holy Kingdom." Tang Zheng waved his hand casually and left out the door.

As he turned around, he glanced at the wall on the north side of the room.

Huh?

Monitoring?

It shouldn't be Holy Kingdom, Slane Theocracy?

The action was so fast because there was still a spy inside the Holy Kingdom.

Tang Zheng thought for a moment, the white Priest robe swayed slightly, and left the room without paying attention to Kelart's attempts to stay behind.

For "Saintess Sword", Tang Zheng is indeed very interested.

Don't mention anything else.

The looks of Kelart and Remedios are already stunning, but they are still far behind Princess Renner and Lakyus.

In terms of appearance, the Saint Princess should be on the same level as Princess Renner.

However, if you are interested, you are still interested.

The simple appearance makes Tang Zheng curious at most, but it is not enough to make him waste time and do things that are meaningless to him.

At this moment.

On the other side of the north wall.

A young man dressed as an attendant, his ears close to the wall are showing elephant-like slap ears. This is the second Tier Magic"Ears of the Elephant".

It can greatly strengthen your hearing and hear more subtle sounds.

Hearing the footsteps of Tang Zheng gradually leaving, the young attendant followed the magic of Dismiss Summoning and left quietly.

"Kelart, is this your purpose?" Remedios pointed at the potion on the table.

"Not really."

"It's just that the result is really good." Kelart looked at Remedios with a smile:

"You don't usually like to target one person as much as you do now, sister."

"You, what did you say!" Remedios's tone became excited.

"Speaking of which, my sister is a bit too old. She really needs to find a marriage partner. There are no suitable young people in the country."

Kelart pretended to talk to himself and whispered, "It's like the story of a noble lady and a commoner."

"He is not a commoner!"

"Indeed, he is not, but a genius in Alchemy and magic." Kelart said with a smile.

Remedios then reacted and his face turned red. "You are planning to use me as a bargaining chip!"

"Can't you? "Free Will" is very valuable."

"Asshole!!"

Upper Wind Month.

April 7th, early morning.

Barghest pulled the carriage and left "Khalinsha" toward the Holy Kingdom, heading for Abelion Hills.

On the carriage.

Enri is a little happy to see Miss Cuiye.

Tang Zheng, on the other hand, closed his eyes and rested, feeling a little surprised in his heart. He originally thought that after leaving Guest House, people from Slane Theocracy would come to the door, but in the end, no action was taken.

"So, those who eavesdropped yesterday should be ordinary spies who can't make the decision."

"And the people from Slane Theocracy probably haven't arrived yet."

Tang Zheng shook his head insignificantly.

The value of "Assimilation Potion" to the Holy Kingdom is actually limited, but it is truly of great significance to Slane Theocracy.

However.

Since Slane Theocracy's people haven't arrived yet, Tang Zheng won't waste time waiting for them.

What I said to Kelart last night was not only said to the Holy Kingdom, but also to Slane Theocracy.

"Slane Theocracy didn't get the potion, so he might come to you again, but more likely, he would just get it ready-made."

Tang Zheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly and let out a chuckle.

The next trip is much easier!

Tang Zheng needs "Free Will" to fade out for a while, and the Assimilation Potion and materials he gave, whether it is Holy Kingdom. or Slane Theocracy, will take a certain amount of time to study.

And this period of time is enough for him to carry out some secret operations.

After entering Abelion Hills.

Verdant Leaf Witch, who had been waiting for a long time, came to pick up Enri.

Tang Zheng is not in a hurry to upgrade Enri's level. He needs Enri to first learn how to lead troops from "Beast General" Hectowaizes and try to obtain a career in the "Commander" system.

Next.

Tang Zheng said goodbye to Enri and Verdant Leaf Witch for the reason of looking for Alchemical Material, and went to the manor where the craftsman Dwarf was previously housed.

All Dwarf craftsmen were transported to Abelion Hills for contact with Dark Dwarf.

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

And during this time.

A big event also happened to the Holy Kingdom, Kelart led Holy Knights and Cleric Corps back to the capital "Hoburns".

While stationed in the wild, a mysterious attack suddenly occurred. According to rumors, there were no casualties, but some important items seemed to be missing.

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

At the same time--

The incident that happened at Abelion Hills also spread completely over time, causing shock in all countries, and those who took action were the first.

It was Baharuth Empire who canceled the reward for "Free Will".

Li Yestije Kingdom.

Royal Capital.

"Francia" deep in the princess palace.

Renner Princess was holding a steaming black tea cup in her hand, her eyebrows were arched, her face was full of gentle smile, and she was looking forward very quietly.

Although Climb remained calm, he still spoke with some excitement about the rumors he heard from the Adventurer's Guild and outside.

"Your Excellency Tang is so awesome!"

"We were actually able to solve tens of thousands of Undead with the elite Holy Kingdom and Slane Theocracy."

"The leader of [Zurrernorn] is as evil as the rumors say. If those Undead..."

Climb's mood was a little high, as if he was in that dangerous situation and facing the endless Undead.

Wait until you finish telling the news you heard.

Climb saw Princess Renner, always smiling and listening to what he said, and immediately realized that her behavior just now was a bit rude.

"I overstepped."

Climb quickly lowered his head and bent his body at ninety degrees.

"Ah?"

Renner Princess put down the tea cup in her hand and said softly and gently, "Don't be so restrained. I also like to hear these things."

"I didn't expect that Mr. Tang's "Free Will" would become a Adamantite Rank adventurer so quickly, one step faster than Lakyus's "Blue Roses"."

Climb still lowered his head, his rough eyebrows tightened. He knew that this was not the right time to speak.

Miss Lakyus is a friend of the princess. A servant like him is naturally not qualified to comment.

"Climb." Princess Renner said.

"Yes!"

Climb immediately stood up straight, with a strong will as strong as steel on his face. It seemed that no matter what order Princess Renner gave, he would immediately execute it.

"You are the only one I can go out with."

"Can you help me find out more details about "Free Will"?"

Princess Renner looked innocent and said in a low voice, "By the way, let Lainas come to see me again."

Climb nodded quickly in response and respectfully exited the hall.

"Isn't it Holy Kingdom?"

"It's Abelion Hills...Demi-Human...[Zurrernorn]..."

Renner Princess's innocent smile became even brighter, her deep blue pupils shone strangely, she raised her white fingers, put them to her lips and bit her nails gently.

Lava Zone.

Tang Zheng looked at the "Spiral of Death" ceremony arranged on the ground with a tired look in his eyes. He had been here for five days, constantly trying his own conjectures.

"Negative Energy" is a force to Undead!

In theory, "Holy Energy" is naturally a force to the living.

"Spiral of Death Ritual" can guide Negative Energy into the body, and it can also guide other energies.

However!

Although this sounds simple, putting it into practice is another matter.

"No."

"There are still problems with the ceremony."

Tang Zheng frowned, constantly checking the arranged ceremony, and making adjustments from time to time.

"Angel Summoning"!

A Fourth-Tier Observer Dominion was summoned.

Tang Zheng waved his palm Dismiss Summoning, and the Angel that had just appeared turned into white light spots and began to dissipate.

"The ritual begins!"

"Strange, why is there still no response?"

Tang Zheng frowned even more.

This has been modified dozens of times continuously, not only the normal "Spiral of Death Ritual", but also with the help of the "Sacrifice·Spiral of Death Ritual" used by the leader when making Death Knight.

It even refers to the energy absorption path of "Wild Shape Ritual".

"Logically speaking, even if you fail, you shouldn't have no reaction at all." Tang Zheng raised his hands and rubbed his temples, thinking constantly.

Possessing the passive ability of "Magic Master" makes his perception and understanding of this complex ritual very clear and simple.

Therefore, ritual problems and changes can be easily detected.

"Maybe, it's not a matter of ceremony."

"But the summoned Angel?" This thought suddenly flashed in Tang Zheng's mind.

He has been obsessed with the ritual during this period and has not focused on Angel.

The Angel he summoned appeared through the normal "Angel Summoning", and there was no difference from the Angel summoned by "Benevolent Armageddon".

"Wrong!"

"There is indeed a difference. The Angel summoned by "Benevolent Armageddon" is Neutral Monsters."

Think of this!

Tang Zheng simply stopped worrying about it and used professional skills to activate the Tenth-Tier magic without any consumption.

Brilliant white light covers Lava Zone!

Angel, densely exuding a sacred aura, appeared in the sky above Tang Zheng's head.

"Dismiss Summoning."

Tang Zheng had a thought in his mind,

Although he cannot directly control these Angel, as a spell caster, he can choose when to use Dismiss Summoning magic.

Wow--

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

Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed and he quickly started the ceremony.

In an instant!

The originally scattered Holy Light light seemed to be attracted by some kind of pull and began to gather towards the ceremony, but soon gradually collapsed and dissipated.

Failed!

Tang Zheng had a look of excitement on his face. After studying for such a long time, he was not afraid of failure, but afraid of nothing happening.

If there is movement in the ceremony, it means it is feasible!

"That's the wrong position."

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

Tang Zheng was making adjustments while recalling what happened in the ceremony just now.

Next.

I released "Benevolent Armageddon" twice in a row, but it still failed, but Tang Zheng already had a clear idea.

What a pity.

This magic can only be activated three times a day. Tang Zheng can only wait until the next day to activate the magic again before continuing the experiment.

Three more days passed.

The entire ceremony still looks like "Spiral of Death Ritual", but in fact many details have been completely changed.

"Hu--"

Tang Zheng took a deep breath and stood at the center of the entire ceremony. "There should be no problem now. If it still fails, it will only prove that the previous guess is wrong."

"--"Benevolent Armageddon""

Boom!

A huge swirl of white foam floated overhead.

Angel flew out from the whirlpool one after another, and finally gathered into an army of Angel in the sky.

"Dismiss Summoning!" Tang Zheng shouted.

Wow--

Wow--

Numerous Angel decomposed into a large number of white Holy Light points, which began to dissipate in the air.

"The ritual begins!"

Tang Zheng took a breath and quickly injected magic power into the "Spiral of Death Device" style at his feet.

Boom--

The faint blue magic lines spread rapidly from Tang Zheng to all directions, forming an invisible gravitational force, attracting Holy Energy in the air that was about to dissipate!

The tiny points of light were drawn by the magic power and began to converge towards the ceremony.

In an instant!

The white light turned into a sacred torrent and poured into the ceremony, and then converged toward the center, dyeing Tang Zheng's whole body a snow-white color.

Buzz--

Attribute Panel vibrated and appeared in front of my eyes.

"Get Experience Points 1"

"Get Experience Points 1"

"..."

"Get Experience Points 1"

"Get Experience Points 1"

Tang Zheng opened his eyes slightly, looking at the experience acquisition information quickly flashed across Attribute Panel, with a look of surprise in his eyes:

"It's done!"

A full 5 minutes passed.

It took hundreds of Angel's dissipated light spots to completely disappear.

[Experience Bar:658160/510000]

↓

[Experience Bar:1158160/510000]

"A full increase of 500,000 experience points?"

"It's really a loss-making deal for others!"

Tang Zheng looked at Experience Points obtained by Experience Bar, grinned slightly, and smiled brightly.

Activating "Benevolent Armageddon" requires 80 points of magic power and 1.5 million Experience Points. Using Spiral of Death Ritual, you can harvest 500,000 Experience Points.

If it were a normal situation, this would be a huge loss to my grandma's family.

But Tang Zheng can use the professional skill "Mad Meditation" to activate this magic without consumption, and earn 500,000 Experience Points in disguise.

It can be activated three times a day, which means you can gain 1.5 million experience points!
