Possibility of Controlling the Black Scripture?

On the spacious corridor.

The Obsidian pillars cast faint reflections on the smooth, even stone slabs of the ground.

Tang Zheng and Chief Justice Gurid walked forward on the marble slabs, with attendants occasionally bowing briefly as they passed by.

Chief Justice Gurid spoke softly, his wrinkled face causing his eyelids to droop. "Team Leader Tang, there are a total of 7 countries on this land inhabited by humans."

"Located in the center are the Kingdom Ri Yestize, where Leader Tang resides, and the Baharuth Empire, which lies opposite it."

"To the northwest lies the Argland Council State, and to the northeast is the Kasanas City State Alliance."

"To the south lies the Roble Holy Kingdom, our Theocracy, and the Draconic Kingdom, all connected in a single line."

Tang Zheng nodded and smiled, "Your Excellency the Chief Justice, you seem to have a great understanding of various countries."

Such broad information is something that ordinary civilians might only know about their own country, but how could an adventurer of Tang Zheng's caliber not know it?

The other party clearly didn't simply want to introduce the seven countries.

"Ha ha."

Chief Justice Gurid gave a faint, aged laugh, not answering directly, but instead remarking with emotion, "It is a blessing from God that we, weak humans, can survive on this land."

"Team Leader Tang, you should know about the Council State that borders the Kingdom Ri Yestize, right?"

"It is said to be a nation primarily composed of Demi-Human, with relatively few humans living there, and the ruling class being terrifying and powerful creatures like dragons."

Tang Zheng responded, noticing Chief Justice Gurid's furrowed brow when the term "Council State" was mentioned, and his eyes flashed.

As Council State primarily composed of Demi-Human, it can be described as an enemy state, along with the Slane Theocracy, which advocates Human Supremacy Doctrine.

in addition.

Does the other party's sudden mention of the Council State indicate that the Theocracy has already investigated his identity?

The false identity that Imina secretly created for him came from a village located on the border between the Kingdom and Pingyi.

Tang Zheng assigned this identity here because the antagonistic relationship between the two countries made it impossible for the Slane Theocracy to conduct a detailed investigation.

Of course, this has certain drawbacks.

But Tang Zheng doesn't need to be perfect. Once the "Nazarick Great Underground Tomb" arrives a few years later, the truth or falsehood of his identity will be irrelevant.

"That's right."

Chief Justice Gurid's eyes flashed with worry. "That's a nation established 200 years ago, after the war between the Thirteen Heroes and the Demon Gods god."

"A parliamentary system of governance and coordination is implemented, with five Dragon Lords serving as the highest councilors for life, in addition to the councilors elected by each of the various Demi-Human Species."

"Hmph, it sounds nice, but it's nothing more than a union of Demi-Human tribes under a different name."

At this point, Chief Justice Gurid let out a soft snort, seemingly expressing disdain and disgust for the Council State system.

A strange look flashed across Tang Zheng's face.

In fact, the "parliamentary system" is more advanced than the feudal system or even the theocratic system in various countries.

"The Council State is just an experimental base; this system clearly originated from the Player."

"Was the Platinum Dragon Lord able to experiment with such a system because of information obtained from one of the Thirteen Heroes Player?"

Tang Zheng couldn't help but think of even more things.

The exact amount of information the Platinum Dragon Lord obtained from the Player is completely unknown, especially considering the player's rather cautious nature...

No system can be copied and applied blindly.

The emergence of so-called "lifetime councilors" completely negates the advanced nature of the parliamentary system, but this is normal, as strength ultimately reigns supreme in this New World.

"The Dragon Lords! That's an existence far beyond human imagination, on an extraordinary level."

Chief Justice Gurid sighed softly.

"No matter how much effort and wisdom humanity puts in, it cannot bridge the gap in strength."

"Team Leader Tang, did you know that 200 years ago, besides the establishment of the Council State, the Draconic Kingdom was also established?"

Tang Zheng's gaze sharpened slightly as he turned his head to look at Chief Justice Gurid beside him, meeting the other's deep blue eyes.

"We've arrived at the room."

Chief Justice Gurid stopped, pointed to the white wooden door beside him, and his aged voice chuckled softly:

May the gods guide us.

As the Chief Justice, whose position in the Theocracy Cardinal and who is in charge of the law, Gurid's attitude was enough to cause a stir among believers if it were shown to outsiders.

However.

In the eyes of Chief Justice Gurid, Tang Zheng was not only a powerful figure who had entered the "Hero Realm," but also a top-tier genius Alchemist among humans.

Such talent is extremely rare, even in Theocracy.

After saying that.

Chief Justice Gurid turned around, his aged body slightly hunched, and gradually walked away down the long corridor.

The room is furnished with a large amount of wooden furniture, creating a simple yet dignified atmosphere, with bookshelves lining the walls.

Tang Zheng could spot the various books at a glance; without even looking at them, he knew what they mainly recorded.

"Should we still adopt the strategy of prioritizing 'righteousness'?"

A faint smile appeared on Tang Zheng's lips, and he felt a slight sense of relief.

Chief Justice Gurid repeatedly mentioned the "Council State" and the "Draconic Kingdom," simply to tell him about the plight of humanity.

This is similar to the rhetoric of "changing the fate of mankind" that the other party mentioned at the beginning; both are somewhat of a way of flattering someone.

but.

The phrase "change the fate of mankind" is somewhat frightening.

The instant I heard the other person say it!

Tang Zheng felt a surge of tension. If the "Assimilation Potion" he had accidentally created truly had this level of effect...

He even had to worry that he would be greeted by World Item like "Downfall of Castle and Country"!

"Using the Dragon Lords as a comparison... therefore, the actual effect it can achieve should fall within this range."

Tang Zheng silently analyzed the hidden messages that Chief Justice Gurid had conveyed during their conversation.

"Come out."

Tang Zheng walked towards the sofa in the living room and spoke calmly.

Click!

The guest room window was suddenly pushed open.

Clementine's agile figure turned and vaulted in through the window like a nimble wildcat.

"The room is very nice!"

Clementine glanced around the room, her eyes crinkling into a smile, and walked over to sit on the sofa opposite her in the center of the living room.

"The Theocracy values you highly; the ' Windflower Scripture ' is monitoring you from the outside."

Tang Zheng looked at the other person calmly. "The Windflower Scripture?"

Don't you know?

Clementine looked innocent, licked her lips, and wagged a finger.

"Within the Theocracy exist Six-Colored Scripture Forces. Besides the ' Sunlight Scripture ' you know, there are also the ' Fire Extinguishing Scripture,' ' Clearwater Scripture,' ' Windflower Scripture,' ' Earth Dust Scripture, ' and the most mysterious and terrifying—the [Black Scripture]."

"The ' Windflower Scripture ' is primarily responsible for intelligence gathering and infiltration."

Clementine paused, tilted her pale neck forward, and smiled, tilting her head slightly.

"I am a member of the [Black Scripture]. Although there are only 13 members, even the weakest among them are powerful individuals who have stepped into the ' Hero Realm '~"

Having said that...

Clementine stared intently at Tang Zheng, noticing that the other man showed no surprise or other expected emotions.

"This is really boring."

Clementine pursed her lips, pulled back from her forward lean, and shrank into the sofa, a look of disappointment flashing across her wild face.

"I almost forgot, you're a monster too. The Hero Realm means nothing to you."

This information was clearly state-level intelligence, yet Clementine revealed it all at once.

"A team built from 13 Hero Realm, what a luxurious lineup." Although Tang Zheng already knew this information, he still felt a sense of amazement at [The Black Scripture].

This could be considered the strongest squad among humans!

"A nasty guy died before. There were originally 12 people, but recently another one was added. He's a guy with the title ' Divine Chain,' who uses chains."

Clementine spoke with displeasure, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with this person.

"Oh, really?"

Tang Zheng was a little surprised, and said calmly, "Judging from the name, he seems like the troublesome type."

"Funny Bro" was killed by him, and the [Black Scripture] was supposed to be missing a member. This "Divine Chain" was originally meant to replace the defector Clementine.

Unexpectedly, he has now replaced "Funny Sis" as her brother.

"How's the information I got?" Tang Zheng asked.

"Currently, it falls under the level of lockdown."

"The fact that you don't even know about ' Thousand Miles Astrologer ' shows that the potion you made is of great importance; only Cardinal would know about it."

Clementine looked at Tang Zheng with great curiosity, her eyes filled with both awe and disbelief.

She knew those Cardinal arrogant!

"In that case, there's no need to investigate further."

Tang Zheng waved his hand, indicating that Clementine could leave.

"He uses someone and then tells them to leave; what a heartless man!"

Clementine spoke playfully, her shapely, long legs emerging from her black robe as she stood up, looking as if she had been abandoned.

Ignoring Clementine's resentment, Tang Zheng suddenly asked, "How high do you think the chances are of mastering the [Black Scripture]?"

"Impossible!"

Clementine's voice suddenly turned shrill, the feigned innocence on her face vanished, and she looked at Tang Zheng in disbelief.

She had already revealed information about the [Black Scripture], and Tang Zheng still managed to ask such a question despite knowing this information.

Clementine suddenly realized that the man in front of her seemed even more insane than she was!

--Could it be!

The other party came to the Slane Theocracy not only because of the potion.

Various thoughts flashed through Clementine's mind, and she didn't even notice that an excited frenzy appeared on her wild face, her fingers unconsciously toying with her weapon.

Obviously.

She was also considering this possibility; it was far more interesting and insane than destroying the Theocracy!

"Impossible."

Clementine added again, his voice trembling, "The power of Godkin is beyond the imagination of mortals; it is an unattainable power!"

"If one could truly control the [Black Scripture], one could indirectly control or influence the entire Slane Theocracy!"

Tang Zheng didn't speak, but just smiled and shrugged, as if he were joking.

Clementine's purple pupils widened slightly as she considered a possibility: could this man before her also be a "Godkin"?

Just think of the opponent's monstrous strength!

Aside from those with Outlier talents, this is another possibility.

The next day.

May 11th.

The student of the Chief Justice, Gurid, reappeared before Tang Zheng, leading Tang Zheng away from the Guest House and into a carriage, heading towards the central temple.

On the carriage.

Tang Zheng looked at the blond youth sitting opposite him and asked in confusion, "Where are the people from the Holy Kingdom?"

"Your Excellency Tang, the guests from the Holy Kingdom have already been personally received by our teacher."

The blond youth quickly and respectfully spoke up.

Is that so?

Tang Zheng nodded, his gaze fixed on the scene outside the carriage.

It seems the Theocracy doesn't want the Holy Kingdom to participate in the upcoming events. But what will the Holy Kingdom do?

Tang Zheng suddenly sensed it, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.

The next moment!

"-- Howl!"

The horse pulling the cart suddenly let out a sharp neigh, as if startled, and abruptly stopped moving forward, its hooves scraping against the ground with a harsh screech.

A sudden pause.

The carriage shook violently, and the blond youth inside, unable to react in time, slammed against the carriage door frame with a dull thud and a cry of pain.

What happened?

The blond youth, clutching his head, awkwardly got up and spoke to the outside of the carriage with a mixture of shock and anger.

This is the Divine City, and the carriage is marked with church symbols. Who would dare to stop the carriage under these circumstances!

Thinking about this!

The blond youth leaned against the doorframe, turning to look at Tang Zheng apologetically. This was a distinguished guest personally invited by their teacher.

If this is affected, it could hinder the subsequent talks!

result.

The young man noticed that Tang Zheng was still sitting steadily inside the carriage, completely unaffected by the sudden stop. He then realized that Tang Zheng was a powerful figure in the "Hero Realm".

"Are you alright?" Tang Zheng asked with concern.

"I'm sorry for making you laugh, Your Excellency."

The young man's face flushed slightly. He quickly waved his hand, then got up and walked out of the carriage, wanting to see who dared to stop it.

Lift the carriage curtain!

The young man immediately noticed a conspicuous black figure blocking the way in front of the carriage.

The other person was wearing a short black cloak, a black bowler hat, and a black mask that covered their mouth and nose.

This attire, so different from that of their Slane Theocracy, immediately made the blond youth realize that the other person was one of the Holy Kingdom.

"You..."

The blond youth was about to say something when he was met with a pair of cold, sharp, and terrifying eyes, like those of a hawk.

An invisible killing intent surged forth!

The blond youth froze on the spot, cold sweat beading on his forehead, as if any movement or word would result in him being shot dead in an instant.

"Pabel? What are you doing here? Come on up with me."

A gentle laugh came from inside the carriage, instantly dispelling the faint killing intent that had enveloped the blond youth.
