Chapter 397: Surprise and a Warning, Inviting Nfirea Bale
An unexpected surprise!
Tang Zheng hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise upon his return. "Hm? 'Information'... not 'Message'?"
He suddenly realized this skill was different from the one he had subconsciously assumed it was, despite their names being nearly identical.
In YGGDRASIL, "Message" was a skill used to maintain contact, originally only used in special situations and locations.
However, in this new world, "Message" had instead become a means of real-time magical communication!
"The 'Information' skill is clearly different from 'Message'."
Tang Zheng thought for a moment and silently recited, "Learn."
[Skill Points: 112→112]
The skill points were not consumed. This was because the 'Information' skill came from the Commander class. After mastering it, he automatically took up the intermediate job class of Commander, increasing his level by one.
Tang Zheng glanced at his status panel and thought to himself, "I'll have to wait until I get a new class and spend some experience before I can remove the Commander class."
"Ah, it failed."
Enri's face was full of confusion and bewilderment. She had clearly succeeded in using it before.
She had wanted to demonstrate it, but she couldn't contact Tang Zheng at all. Once the skill's activation time passed, it dispelled on its own.
When people in this new world mastered new skills and magic, they couldn't view the specific effects of the skills like players in a game could.
They could only understand a skill's ability through their own trial and error.
Tang Zheng, of course, was different. He could check skills via his status panel. After reading the specific effect of 'Information', a flash of understanding passed through his eyes.
The Green Leaf Witch and the other two looked at Tang Zheng and Enri in surprise, clearly not understanding what they were doing.
*Tap! Tap!*
Tang Zheng had no intention of being secretive. He tapped lightly on the table, and feeling everyone's gazes on him, he spoke softly, "I think I know what's going on."
"Lord Captain, is that true?"
Enri looked up in pleasant surprise, her brown pupils shining with adoration.
It was because she had suddenly acquired this ability and felt a bit lost that she wanted to seek an explanation from her knowledgeable Lord Captain.
Tang Zheng set down his utensils, leaned back in his chair, and said gently, "You should all know that besides combat-type classes, there are other class systems, such as the Commander system."
"Enri has been following that Beast General, Hector Weiss, for this period, which is why she has mastered an ability from the Commander system."
Tang Zheng looked at Enri with a praising gaze. "The 'Information' ability allows a Commander to maintain long-term contact with members of their Legion."
"This is a support-type skill. While it doesn't greatly increase combat power, it allows for command as seamless as moving one's own limbs."
"An ability like this isn't something that can be mastered by an ordinary person with a Commander system class. Enri has a great Talent for this."
His praising voice rang out at the dining table.
Enri shyly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. At the same time, she understood why she couldn't contact her Lord Captain.
She could establish contact with the Beast General, Hector Weiss, because they had all been acting together for the past three months, implicitly fulfilling the conditions to be considered members of a Legion.
Her Lord Captain, however, was clearly not among them.
"Miss Enri, that's truly amazing."
Lizardman Kuru Xue brought her hands, which were covered in delicate white scales, together before her chest and praised her sincerely.
The Green Leaf Witch nodded with a smile, not surprised at all. From the very beginning, her Master had placed great importance on this human girl, Enri.
Possessing such a Talent was, on the contrary, to be expected. What surprised her was that her Master was actually able to notice it.
The White Mist Witch's golden pupils, however, sized up Enri before she pouted.
"The reason I'm sharing this specific information with everyone is because within Tier Magic, there exists a magic with a similar ability called 'Message'."
Tang Zheng addressed the four people present, his tone taking on a hint of seriousness.
"The specific effect is like this..."
Tang Zheng raised a finger, lightly touched his temple, and silently activated 'Information' in his mind.
"Eh?"
"Huh!"
"Ah!"
"This is..."
The Green Leaf Witch, the White Mist Witch, and Lizardman Kuru Xue all let out surprised cries one after another, while Enri stared at Tang Zheng with wide eyes.
Tang Zheng's voice had just resounded sequentially in their minds.
The Green Leaf Witch and the other two, in particular, finally understood what the ability's effect Tang Zheng had just described was like.
A look of amazement appeared on everyone's faces.
Enri blinked, never imagining that her Lord Captain actually possessed an ability similar to hers.
Looking at everyone's surprised and curious gazes, Tang Zheng smiled faintly.
This, of course, wasn't "Message," but still the Commander's 'Information' skill. The reason he didn't encounter the same problem as Enri, being unable to connect to others, was that Tang Zheng had used a combination of 'Information' and 'Magic Mark'!
With these two abilities combined, Tang Zheng could directly contact people he had marked with a 'Magic Mark', achieving an effect similar to "Message."
"Now, everyone should understand the situation when this ability is activated. I may use this magic to contact you in the future, so there's no need to be surprised."
"However, you must also remain vigilant. When contact is made, you first need to confirm the possibility of it being an enemy in disguise."
The reason Tang Zheng demonstrated this for everyone was to prevent situations of impersonation later on, which could lead to information leaks.
Just now, he hadn't only tried to contact the few people before him; he had also confirmed his connection with Imina and Leinas separately.
Only Alar in Despair Valley could not be contacted.
This was within his expectations.
"Message" could contact people one had met before, increasing the speed of information transfer, but if the distance was too great, the transmitted voice would become increasingly faint, or even disappear entirely.
The combined effect of 'Information' and 'Magic Mark' also had this same flaw. Tang Zheng couldn't even sense Alar's location, so the attempt naturally failed.
Tang Zheng speared a piece of steak with his fork, put it in his mouth, and chewed for a moment before speaking in an even more serious tone, "About three hundred years ago, there was a Kingdom named Goteborg."
"This country established a magical network between its various cities using 'Message' to increase the speed of information transfer, but in the end, it fell into civil war due to false information, leading to the entire country's destruction."
The Green Leaf Witch and the others' expressions immediately turned serious as they realized the importance and uncertainty of this magic.
After seeing that Enri and the others understood the danger involved, Tang Zheng nodded. This way, if the Bone King used this method as a disguise in the future, they would be able to avoid being easily deceived to some extent.
In fact, Fluder of the Baharuth Empire didn't trust information transmitted by "Message." He knew about the destroyed Kingdom of Goteborg, which was why he always remained vigilant.
Because of this, even when the Bone King contacted him using this method, he remained skeptical.
It forced the Bone King to use teleportation magic to appear before him and explain in person. As for this kind of behavior, where the Bone King had to prove things himself...
"Heh."
