chapter 273 part 2
"I will serve you with all my heart, Lord." Crusch Lulu knelt and prostrated herself on the ground, her long tail swaying slightly.
"If my Lord requires it, I will offer my body without reservation."
Tang Zheng leaned his head back and raised an eyebrow. He wasn't sure if he was misunderstanding something or if her words carried a certain implication.
"I don't have a fetish for non-human races."
"Yes," Crusch Lulu replied immediately, though her crimson eyes showed confusion.
"How much of your strength do you have left?" Tang Zheng asked, tapping a finger against his temple with a hint of helplessness.
"My body is still a little weak, but my power shouldn't have been affected much," Crusch Lulu replied quickly after sensing her own magic power and the power she wielded.
Resurrection magic!
The human before her had indeed mastered even that legendary ability, shattering the illusion of death and pulling those who had fallen into the world of death back to the living world.
Such power...
Crusch Lulu prostrated on the ground, her heart pounding violently as she lowered her head even further.
In the legends of the lizardman race, there was once a lizardman with dragon's blood who could use Fifth-Tier resurrection magic. He had always been regarded as a mythological figure among the lizardmen.
Many lizardmen didn't believe it, and even Crusch Lulu herself didn't think such power could exist. After all, even Fourth-Tier magic was already unimaginably powerful.
Let alone Fifth-Tier magic!
"Ninjutsu: Detect."
A stream of magic power glittered in Tang Zheng's eyes as he looked at the prone Crusch Lulu.
"Based on this aura's strength, she's at about level 15. She was originally level 17, so using Ninth-Tier resurrection magic caused a drop of two levels. The information from Detect is quite accurate."
"I just don't know which class level drops first when people from the Otherworld lose levels."
He was slightly curious.
She herself probably couldn't judge accurately either.
According to the descriptions of humans from the Otherworld after being resurrected, the resurrected person would lose a large amount of life energy and be in a state of weakness for a while, but their techniques and skills shouldn't disappear.
Tang Zheng said, "I now have all the records of your lizardman race. I've looked through the learning techniques and content for some of the magic in your tribe."
"Among them is a Fourth-Tier spell called 'Cloud Manipulation.' It's just that your lizardman script is too chaotic, with too many repetitive words."
"I will give you this information. You need to understand this spell and how to cast it."
"Huh?"
Crusch Lulu let out a flustered sound. Because she was covered in straw, her expression was hidden, but her voice conveyed her current confusion and nervousness.
"I have also heard about this spell from the Old Priest, but... but with my talent, I am simply incapable of mastering magic of this level."
"I'm not asking you to master it."
"I'm asking you to understand the principle of this spell and know how to cast it," Tang Zheng said flatly. "Among your former lizardman priests, there was one who mastered a special magic enhancement method called 'Magic Ascension.'"
"I have mastered a similar method. With the help of a magic ritual, I need to cast this spell through your hands. Do you understand now?"
So that's how it is!
Crusch Lulu had a flash of insight and quickly said, "I understand."
"Then let's go. I will be using a disguise from now on. I hope your wisdom allows you to live a little longer."
Tang Zheng walked up to Crusch Lulu, placed a hand on her head, and activated Teleportation, disappearing without a trace.

The Holy Kingdom of Roble had two major features. One was that its territory was divided into two by the sea, known as the Northern Holy Kingdom and the Southern Holy Kingdom. The other feature was the hundred-kilometer-long fortress wall built along the border, completely separating the Holy Kingdom from the Abelion Hills.
The entire fortress had three large bastions. These three facilities were meant to protect the massive, hundred-kilometer-long wall, and they also served as the only three city gates and garrisons.
If the border were to ever suffer an invasion from demi-humans, these three wall bastions could serve as strongholds for amassing a large army for a pincer attack.
At this moment, atop the central bastion stronghold, several soldiers holding spears stood ramrod straight. However, from their slumped shoulders and the sounds of yawning, it was clear that they were in a relaxed state of mind.
Standing for a long time was exhausting, especially in such a dull environment where the only view was the deep Abelion Hills to the east.
Besides, the captain wasn't around at the moment, so relaxing a little didn't matter. After all, there was no end to the demi-humans you could kill.
Over the course of a month, there would always be a few waves of demi-human invasions, but the numbers were never too large. Relying on the thick city wall, they could be dealt with easily.
"The number of demi-human attacks seems to have decreased this month."
"Really? I feel like it's no different than usual."
"Perhaps there are fewer tribal wars in the Hills. They're all just a bunch of defeated demi-humans who fled from there."
"Hahaha!"
A few soldiers chatted idly, laughing from time to time.
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed soldier looked toward the edge of the distant hill country, seemingly spotting something. The broad smile on his face froze as he grew serious.
Soon, the other soldiers noticed it as well. Someone took out a piece of military equipment called a telescope and looked at the distant scene.
"It's goblins and an ogre. There are five of them—one ogre and four goblins," the soldier on watch reported slowly.
The previously tense atmosphere completely relaxed. A mere ogre and some goblins were nothing to fear.
Before long, the goblins and the ogre had appeared right below the city wall.
Archers, long prepared, quickly drew their bows and loosed their arrows in a single volley.
The goblins were killed instantly, with only the ogre barely managing to hold on. However, as a second volley of arrows flew, the ogre also fell to the ground with a dull thud.
A brief cheer went up on the city wall.
To the soldiers present, these invading demi-humans were not just enemies but also a source of merit—especially when they were few in number and no trouble at all, like these. To the soldiers, it was basically a free delivery of merit.
The soldiers on the wall waited for a moment. Seeing that no other demi-humans were emerging from the hill country, they sent out a squad to deal with the corpses below the wall.
These dead demi-humans couldn't just be left to rot at the base of the wall; they had to be disposed of properly.
This was originally a simple task, but the squad that went down suddenly let out cries of surprise, causing the faces of those on the wall to change, thinking some accident had occurred.
"Gold?"
"It's gold!"
"These goblins were actually carrying gold!" Shocked and excited shouts came from the soldier squad below, causing a moment of stunned silence among the people on the city wall before their eyes began to burn with fervor.
