chapter 176 part 2
Among the spells he had mastered, quite a few caught Tang Zheng's eye, but none were worth learning. This second-tier magic seemed of little use.
However, it was related to the method of creating the "Frogman's Egg."
He glanced at the information on his stat panel.

...
Tang Zheng just gave the normal changes in his basic stats a simple glance. What caught his attention was the change in his Specialty, which had increased by 30 points.
An increase of this magnitude was clearly related to taking up the "Mad Mage" Job.
"Is it a passive skill?" Tang Zheng mused thoughtfully.
He didn't dwell on this issue for too long.
What truly gave him a headache right now was how to deal with the Gray-robed Mage and Quinn Esai.
"You two should have heard our conversation just now. Now..." Tang Zheng turned his head to look at the Twin Witches beside him, but before he could finish his sentence.
The Green Leaf Witch and the Dense Fog Witch simultaneously bowed and prostrated on the ground, their voices trembling as they spoke: "We are willing to submit."
"Good."
Tang Zheng nodded with a stoic expression. "Clean up this damaged area. With the abilities of you two, you should be able to restore it to its original state."
The Twin Witches both possessed the Forest Priest Job, so manipulating plant growth was not a complicated matter.
After speaking, Tang Zheng raised his hand and used "Magic Imprint" on each of the Twin Witches. With this spell in place, even if they tried to escape, he could pinpoint their location.
As the terrified Twin Witches departed, Tang Zheng's gaze fell back upon the unconscious Quinn Esai.
*Thump!*
He knocked the Gray-robed Mage out with a single karate chop.
Next, Tang Zheng woke Quinn Esai from her stupor and used the "Charm Species" spell again to control her.
"Is there any way in the Slane Theocracy to block 'Resurrection Magic'?" Tang Zheng asked seriously, looking at the controlled, blank-eyed Quinn Esai.
Since a special means like resurrection magic had existed for so long, Tang Zheng didn't believe that the various factions of this world wouldn't have conducted corresponding research.
Even the Alliance Leader of Zuranon could research and modify the "Raise Dead" spell.
Tang Zheng refused to believe that the Slane Theocracy hadn't done similar research.
"To prevent 'Raise Dead,' you just need to severely damage the corpse," Quinn Esai said stiffly.
"Anything else?" Hearing this piece of nonsense, Tang Zheng took a deep breath and asked again.
This time, however, Quinn Esai did not answer immediately. Even under the effect of "Charm Species," she became hesitant.
This, in turn, made Tang Zheng's eyes light up.
"Magic Insulation."
"You only need to insulate against the influence of magic to counter resurrection magic... The simplest way to do this... is to have a powerful monster devour the living being."
"The power inherent in the monster itself will further obstruct and insu...late the influence of 'Resurrection Magic,' but the monster's strength must be high, at least sur...passing the Heroic... Realm."
A trace of struggle appeared on Quinn Esai's dazed face, to the point that her speech became intermittent.
Seeing Quinn Esai's current state, Tang Zheng's pupils constricted. This was a clear sign that she was about to forcibly break free from the "Charm Species" state.
"She can break free from the charm's influence through sheer willpower alone?" Surprise showed on Tang Zheng's face as he swiftly swung his arm, knocking Quinn Esai unconscious again.
"Using a powerful monster to insulate against resurrection magic... so there's such a method." Looking at the unconscious Quinn Esai, Tang Zheng fell into deep thought.
Finding a powerful monster wasn't difficult.
In the Angelicisia Mountain Range, there was a giant, fish-like monster about Level 47 and over 50 meters long, the Lava Dominator, Sun Anglerfish.
The question was, would this method really work?
It might work against ordinary resurrection magic, but what about higher-grade resurrection magic?
Furthermore, Quinn Esai's state just now was also suspicious. In her extremely weakened physical condition, she was actually able to break free from the influence of "Charm Species" through willpower.
This was clearly abnormal.
Wait!
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed. He suddenly recalled that the Slane Theocracy seemed to have implanted some kind of special magic in the minds of its Scripture members.
Under specific circumstances, after answering three of the interrogator's questions, they would die instantly.
Captain Nigun and most of the Sunlight Scripture members captured by the Bone King had died under the influence of such magic.
His question to Quinn Esai just now was already the second one. If he asked one more, Quinn Esai would likely trigger this magic.
The "Charm Species" ability makes the target see you as a friend, but once their own life is threatened, the charm's influence can no longer hold.
This was probably the real reason for Quinn Esai's struggle.
"If that's the case, then this is going to be troublesome."
At this thought, an ugly look flashed across Tang Zheng's face.
He had originally planned to extract more information from Quinn Esai. If this magic was in effect, he wouldn't be able to easily obtain information about the Slane Theocracy like he did from the Gray-robed Mage.
"It's not like there are no options. If I use resurrection methods, I should be able to ask a new set of three questions each time she is revived."
Looking at the unconscious Quinn Esai, this thought crossed Tang Zheng's mind.
Of course, this also meant facing a thorny problem!
