chapter 364 part 2
Shouldering the black Cross Spear Scythe, Zesshi Zetsumei's demeanor became lazy again. She shot a glance at Tang Zheng, feeling unusually good for once.
She was born a half-breed through an almost impossible probability.
She had the distinct features of an Elf, namely the ears hidden beneath her hair.
In the Slane Theocracy, which espoused "Human Supremacy," even an absolute powerhouse like Zesshi Zetsumei was affected, constantly hiding her ears under her hair.
"By the way, that girl in your adventurer team... what's her name?" Zesshi Zetsumei asked without warning.
"Enri," Tang Zheng replied.
"Oh."
"From what I've learned, she was just an ordinary village girl before, right? How did you discover her talent?"
Zesshi Zetsumei asked quizzically, seemingly having investigated and learned about Free Will.
Under the gaze of her heterochromatic eyes.
Tang Zheng shook his head and gave an unexpected answer: "I wasn't certain she had that talent."
"I probably just felt that she could do it. As it turns out, she's done even better than I imagined."
Tang Zheng smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
Zesshi Zetsumei was briefly silent, then turned to leave the church. As she walked through the doors of the main hall, she said:
"Don't forget what you said about a toy similar to the Rubik's Cube."
"I don't like people who boast."
Zesshi Zetsumei spoke coolly without turning back, simultaneously tossing something behind her with a flick of her arm.
A bronze-colored item was tossed over.
Tang Zheng reached out and caught it. It was the very same Bronze Feather Necklace that Zesshi Zetsumei had taken out earlier.
—Nighttime.
In a room at the VIP guesthouse.
Tang Zheng looked at the Bronze Feather Necklace in his hand, his eyes shining faintly.
Although it looked quite crude, the overall piece had a certain quality, different from the refined craftsmanship of magic items made in this Otherworld.
"A Game Item from YGGDRASIL."
"I never expected such a windfall. It's rather surprising that the six Cardinals haven't taken it back yet."
Tang Zheng toyed with the Bronze Feather Necklace in his hand, lost in thought.
"Is it because of Zesshi Zetsumei, or are they trying to show goodwill?"
"Then again, the value of this item isn't particularly high. It's only a single tier stronger than the magic items from this Otherworld."
............
**Item:** Shilmey's Messenger
**Level:** High Class (31-40)
**Restriction:** Summoning-type Magic Caster
**Effects:**
—**Summoner's Gift:** While a summoned creature is present, gain a shield equal to 10% of the summoned monster's health points.
—**Phase Shift:** The wearer instantly swaps positions with any of their summoned monsters (30-second cooldown).
**Description:** The messenger's feet have never truly set foot in one place; its will is entrusted only to its stand-ins.
............
A High Class magic item.
Although the level isn't high, its effects are exceptionally good.
"As expected of a Game Item, its abilities are quite practical."
Tang Zheng looked at the bronze feather pendant in his hand, his eyes glinting slightly.
This was his first time coming into contact with a genuine piece of Game Equipment from YGGDRASIL!
He immediately noticed the difference between Game Items and magic items made in this Otherworld.
Simply put! The effects of Game Equipment were much more explicit.
In contrast, some magic items made in the Otherworld had vaguer effects, and the abilities of certain items could even vary depending on the user.
Furthermore, the "Restriction" information on Game Items was also much clearer.
"The effects and abilities of this magic item were clearly prepared for me by the Theocracy."
Tang Zheng thought to himself. He had just inspected the item and found no hidden magical markings.
*Kala~*
The Bronze Feather Necklace swayed slightly.
Tang Zheng didn't stand on ceremony and put it around his neck. Currently, he only had two items that could be considered equipment.
"Heaven and Earth didn't conduct any surveillance this time either." A smile grew on Tang Zheng's face.
Thanks to him taking the lead this time, the Slane Theocracy's biggest headache now was the Holy Kingdom. The two sides were bound to have a tug-of-war to maximize their own benefits.
"Shadow Clone!" Tang Zheng activated the Ninja's skill.
The shadow under the light of the *Everlight* writhed.
A figure identical to Tang Zheng emerged from the shadow and stood to the side.
"Go," Tang Zheng said with a wave of his hand.
Ninjutsu: Concealment!
The shadow clone flickered, its entire body quickly vanishing as if blending into the air.
Ninjutsu: Shadow Dive!
In Tang Zheng's perception, the shadow clone transformed into a flowing shadow, swiftly moving outside the guesthouse and heading toward the depths of the Slane Theocracy.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Theocracy's attention was temporarily not on him, Tang Zheng needed to investigate and pinpoint the exact location of the "Legacy of the Six Great Gods" as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, Clementine didn't know.
Presumably, only the highest echelons of the Theocracy and the Guardian, Zesshi Zetsumei, knew.
Over the next few days! The Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy were in constant negotiations.
Remedios and the others would visit from time to time to consult with Tang Zheng, and the two sides reached a complete cooperation agreement.
The 18th of May, Mid-Wind Month.
Three days passed, and the division of benefits between the Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy had been mostly settled.
Meanwhile, through his continuous investigation with the shadow clone, Tang Zheng had roughly identified several rather mysterious locations within the Slane Theocracy, though he wasn't sure which one was the repository for the Legacy of the Six Great Gods.
It was also possible that it was none of them.
Tang Zheng did not act rashly. These mysterious locations were heavily guarded, with an unknown number of magical defenses hidden from sight.
Most importantly, even if Tang Zheng confirmed the location of the "Legacy of the Six Great Gods," he had no intention of trying to seize it immediately.
Sunlight shone through the glass window and into the room.
Clementine stood with her arms crossed, watching with a mixture of surprise and curiosity as Tang Zheng sat on the sofa, fiddling with a strange, chain-like object made of metal.
"Lord, you've actually interacted with that monster twice?" Clementine's purple pupils showed disbelief.
That was a terrifying existence beyond the comprehension of normal humans!
The moment Clementine recalled how she had once been casually thrashed and taught a lesson like a toy by that person, a surge of anger rose in her heart, but it was overshadowed by an even greater fear.
Even now, just a single glance at that person would make Clementine's body tremble uncontrollably.
"A monster? In terms of strength alone, calling her that isn't wrong."
Tang Zheng inspected the metal chain-like object in his hands. This was the Rubik's Cube-like toy he had been making during this time.
"But in terms of personality, she's actually quite approachable."
If someone from his previous life saw this strange object with its nine interlocking rings of metal, they would surely find it very familiar. This was precisely the puzzle toy known as a "Nine-Linked Rings."
Tang Zheng had modified it slightly to make it look more in line with the style of this world.
