chapter 307 part 2
"Thank you for your hard work, Leader Tang. I will send someone to inform you immediately if anything comes up." Deputy Commander Gustav saluted once more.
"I'll return with Lord Tang as well."
Guild Master Botejin chimed in. He had already done what he needed to do and naturally had no intention of lingering.
Late at night.
1:07 AM.
Tang Zheng returned to the inn. The Green Leaf Witch and Enri greeted him immediately.
"Lord Captain." Enri's brown eyes were filled with anxiety. "That Adamantite-rank quest... what is it?"
She was no longer the naive girl she once was. The danger of a quest of this level frightened Enri.
It wasn't just because of the quest itself, but because she was just an ordinary person. She worried that she would be of no help at all and would instead drag down Lord Captain and Miss Cui Ye.
In fact, to this day.
Enri still remembered that her Lord Captain had said she possessed some kind of talent. It had just been so long.
She didn't know what talent he was talking about, and she had never dared to ask... afraid that it was just something her Lord Captain had said casually at the time.
"Enri, this matter is a bit dangerous. If..." Tang Zheng looked at Enri, who was forcing herself to appear calm, and reached out to gently ruffle her chestnut-gold hair.
"Lord Captain!"
For the first time, Enri spoke loudly before Tang Zheng could finish his sentence. "I want to participate too! I can be of help!"
"You might die."
"Enri is not afraid."
Looking at Enri, who had always been gentle and weak but was now showing a stubborn side, Tang Zheng fell silent for a moment before giving a gentle smile. "Alright."
A happy expression appeared on Enri's slightly chubby cheeks. Fearing that Tang Zheng would go back on his word, she quickly promised, "I definitely won't drag Lord Captain and Miss Cui Ye down."
The Green Leaf Witch remained expressionless, only casting a shallow glance at Enri from the corner of her eye.
After spending this period of time with her.
The Green Leaf Witch found that she quite liked this kind, gentle human girl. Compared to her younger sister, the White Mist Witch, she was much more obedient and less trouble.
But liking her was one thing.
She still didn't believe that the Enri before her was a talented human, and she couldn't understand why her Master valued her so much.
"Before the task begins, you two should get some rest," Tang Zheng said to them. The Green Leaf Witch had nothing to do, and Enri was, after all, still just an ordinary person for now.
"Okay."
Enri nodded firmly and left the room first.
"Master, White Mist, she..." The Green Leaf Witch didn't leave, her voice a worried whisper.
Ever since their Master sent her sister to handle matters in the hills, she hadn't seen her sister in a long time. Now, hearing that a large number of undead had appeared in the hills.
Even if it was part of their Master's plan, she was still worried.
"She can return after this is over. She is still useful to me," Tang Zheng said calmly.
Compared to his attitude toward Enri.
He was much colder toward the Twin Witches, and it was precisely this attitude that put the Green Leaf Witch at ease.
The two of them knew too many of their Master's secrets. Compared to reassuring words with strong emphasis like "safe" or "don't worry."
"Useful to Master" was actually more comforting to the Twin Witches.
The gentle glow of the Everlight.
It illuminated the room brightly. Outside the window, the night was deep. Several consecutive days of overcast skies had caused the moonlight to become extremely dim.
Tang Zheng sat on the sofa, a contemplative look on his face, mentally reviewing every detail of the entire incident, checking for any gaps or omissions.
"No problems for now."
"The only potential flaw lies with Lizardman Kuru Xue. However, the White Mist Witch is over there, and coupled with the bonds of the remaining Lizardman Race in the Great Wetland..."
"Lizardman Kuru Xue knows what to do."
Tang Zheng reflected and checked for flaws again, his mind settling.
After all, the people he was currently dealing with weren't idiots. Even if their limited knowledge prevented them from thinking too deeply, Tang Zheng still needed to eliminate any potential points of suspicion in advance.
After the incident in the hills concluded.
This matter, which was currently being suppressed by the Holy Kingdom, the Slane Theocracy, and the Adventurer's Guild, would inevitably be spread and publicized for more people to know.
The Free Will adventurer squad could also use this incident to leapfrog into the ranks of the Adamantite-level adventurer teams.
That's right!
The Alliance Leader was bound to lose.
It wasn't that Tang Zheng intended to defeat the Alliance Leader with brute force himself. Putting the Holy Kingdom aside, the very fact that the Sunlight Scripture was mobilized meant the Slane Theocracy must have made thorough preparations.
In the future, when facing Warrior Captain Gazef, they were willing to use a Magic Sealing Crystal that stored a "7th Tier Angel Summoning."
This time, facing a legendary undead, a Death Knight in the eyes of the people of this otherworld, the Slane Theocracy would surely not be so stingy.
At the very least.
Tang Zheng felt that the Alliance Leader's chances of victory were indeed not high.
And it was precisely for this reason that Tang Zheng suspected the Alliance Leader's goal was not to establish a nation of death in the hills at all.
"So, what is it then?"
As Tang Zheng pondered, he reached out and grabbed at the empty air. A translucent, faint blue potion appeared in his palm.
…………
Item: Magic Alchemical Solution (Blend Potion)
Level: High Class (31-40)
Description: An alchemical solution refined by mixing several types of special blood. Allows the drinker to gain the special states of "Aura Suppression" and "Blend."
(Requires a certain degree of compatibility with the object of the blend. The higher the compatibility, the smoother the blend. Conversely, a lack of compatibility will cause severe damage and side effects to the user.)
…………
Tang Zheng looked at the Blend Potion in his hand, his gaze growing more solemn and serious.
This was a potion refined using the blood of three types of demi-humans—the White Mist Witch, the Green Leaf Witch, and an Oni—with the aid of the magic item, the Magic Crucible.
The Dragon Blood Potion had given Tang Zheng a completely new idea: he could try refining potions by mixing the blood of multiple demi-human races.
Previously.
He had seen that after the White Mist Witch blended with a summoned angel, she could make the summoned angel persist for a long time.
Tang Zheng had been excited, thinking he had found a method, like the Bone King's, to make a summoned creature persist for an extended period. It took a great deal of effort before he finally concocted the Blend Potion.
As it turned out, its effect was significantly different from the effect produced by the White Mist Witch's own racial talent.
The fundamental reason lay in "compatibility."
