Chapter 308: Clementine Appears. Departure!
Tang Zheng's gaze didn't linger on the people at the conference table for long. After a quick glance, he turned and walked toward Gagaran's position.
He had only taken two steps.
*Swoosh!*
A sharp sound of something slicing through the air came from behind him.
"Magic Armor!" the Green Leaf Witch shouted coldly.
*Clang—Thud—*
A sharp stiletto accurately struck the Green Leaf Witch's chest but was blocked by a translucent layer of magic armor, making a crisp sound.
Then, the force behind the stiletto increased, causing the armor to emit a dull thud, yet it was still held back by the magic armor!
The sudden development stunned everyone in the hall. Or rather, the attacker had moved so quickly that they were only discovered at the moment of the strike!
Inside the meeting room.
The members of the Holy Knight Order standing guard all drew their longswords in unison.
The weapon aimed at the Green Leaf Witch was a stiletto, a specialized piercing weapon that was not easy to wield.
Conversely, anyone who could use such a weapon was bound to be extremely proficient with it.
"Oh my~, you blocked it."
A light, deliberately drawn-out voice came from the person who had launched the attack.
She was a striking woman with fluffy, golden hair that covered her forehead. Her purple eyes, filled with mirth, gave her cute, feline face the dangerous aura of a predator.
When Tang Zheng turned to look.
"Yo, cute little brother."
The golden-haired woman continued to apply pressure with the stiletto in one hand, while raising the other to greet Tang Zheng as if they were old friends.
Tang Zheng's apparent age was indeed young, looking to be around seventeen. The golden-haired woman opposite him was clearly older, in her twenties.
"Corrosion Break..."
Faced with the sudden sneak attack, the Green Leaf Witch was clearly enraged and began coldly chanting a spell.
If not for the power from the "Wild Transformation Ritual" granted by her master, which provided a certain boost even without transforming, she feared she would not have been able to dodge that sneak attack!
"Stop," Tang Zheng said.
The fury in the Green Leaf Witch's eyes subsided, and her motion to cast a spell halted immediately. She merely glared fiercely at the golden-haired woman.
Seeing the Green Leaf Witch, a demi-human according to their intelligence, behaving so obediently, the eyes of everyone present flickered slightly.
"I want to know what this is all about!" Tang Zheng's tone was serious and cold, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
Clementine!
Why was Clementine here?
Tang Zheng was a little surprised and bewildered. She was a member of the Black Scripture; the implications of that were quite intriguing.
Judging by her appearance, has she not defected yet?
"No need to be so tense."
"I was just saying a little hello to your demi-human teammate. Really, truly."
Clementine also retracted her stiletto, putting on a cute act. Her eyes, however, swept over the gold plate hanging from Tang Zheng's waist as she puffed her cheeks slightly.
"What's this? Just a gold-rank plate."
Hearing this lighthearted complaint, Tang Zheng's thoughts stirred.
*Tsk~*
Clementine licked the corner of her mouth.
*The magical defense is quite strong. A martial skill should be able to break it,* Clementine quickly analyzed the information she had gathered from that single strike.
The Green Leaf Witch exposed her lie without hesitation. "I don't consider that a way of saying hello!"
*Bang—*
"Enough!"
Remedios slammed her hand on the table and stood up, her sharp eyes glinting like drawn blades.
"Is a squad with a demi-human the only one with any guts the Adventurer's Guild can send?!"
"And you, some woman who popped out of nowhere, what do you think you're doing, barging into a war council? Do you not have even basic etiquette or the fundamental discipline to obey orders?!"
Remedios loudly and bluntly rebuked them, expressing her dissatisfaction.
With those words, the atmosphere froze.
Kelart's outstretched arm froze in mid-air; she had noticed Remedios starting to rise and was about to pull her back.
This sudden conflict was a matter between the adventurer team "Free Will" and the Slane Theocracy; their Holy Kingdom could just watch from the sidelines. Better yet, they could use this to gather information on both parties—all gain and no loss.
In the end, she was a step too slow.
After all, a magic caster's reactions could never match the speed of a warrior.
"How adorable," Clementine said, tilting her head. Her eyes were full of amusement, and her tone lilted upwards.
Her fiery gaze was fixed unabashedly on the weapon hanging at Remedios's waist—a national treasure of the Holy Kingdom, one of the Four Great Holy Swords.
"Clementine, what are you doing? Weren't you uninterested in this meeting?" Captain Nigun frowned and spoke for the first time.
He knew Clementine wouldn't obediently follow his arrangements. Given his status, he naturally understood Clementine's situation.
Members of the Black Scripture were primarily selected from the other five scriptures. As the Captain of the Sunlight Scripture, he was also one of the candidates.
However, Nigun knew very well that neither his strength nor his talent could compare to these true monsters.
For that very reason, Nigun was extremely surprised that Clementine was involved in this incident, and that the Cardinals above had actually agreed to it.
"I already told you."
"Just saying hello. This Kalinxia fortress is so boring," Clementine said with a shrug.
This nonchalant attitude caused Kelart's expression to change abruptly as she looked at Clementine with new seriousness.
Watching this scene unfold.
"So," Tang Zheng lifted his head, his usual calm expression completely gone, a hint of indifference in his eyes. "That's not an explanation, is it?"
"Then let me say hello as well."
Tang Zheng's back straightened. He suddenly smiled, and the sleeve of his naturally hanging, pristine white cleric robe moved.
*Bang—*
*Bang—*
In an instant, a dazzling, sacred white light converged in the hall, and a powerful aura suddenly emerged.
The faces of Kelart, Captain Nigun, and the others changed.
The air vibrated.
A Monitoring Dominion and a Serenity Dominion, two fourth-tier angels, appeared simultaneously above Tang Zheng's head, scattering specks of white light.
"Dual Angel Summoning?"
Captain Nigun's eyes widened. With his power, he could only summon a single fourth-tier angel.
Kelart leaned forward, her slender hands pressed against the table, her eyes equally astonished.
The information provided by the Adventurer's Guild was not very detailed. She only knew that this squad possessed the strength of adamantite-rank adventurers. Even among the adamantite rank, there are differences in strength, not to mention the rumor that he was also a genius alchemist.
One of the important reasons for inviting "Free Will" to participate was to make use of the Potion of Regeneration in their possession.
