chapter 352 part 2
Wind Cardinal Dominic's face filled with alarm. He turned to look at Captain Ian, his voice rising a notch, "Who did you say?"
"Lord Judicial Chief Gu."
Feeling a wave of pressure, Captain Ian gritted his teeth and answered again.
"How could it be him? Who arranged this!"
Wind Cardinal Dominic's expression shifted, a mix of shock and bewilderment.
"The Supreme Cardinal?"
According to the original plan, the suitable person to welcome Tang Zheng was a disciple of the Water Cardinal, Sinedine, who was known for his knowledge and wisdom.
Or a disciple of the Earth Cardinal, Raymond, a former member of the Black Scripture and the host of the next meeting.
This was a testament to the great importance they placed on the matter!
The "Blend Potion" that Leader Tang had researched was worthy of this level of importance.
But now!
How did Judicial Chief Gu get involved in this?
While Wind Cardinal Dominic was puzzled, the other Cardinals also showed similar confusion and bewilderment.
The only one who could make this decision over their heads was the Supreme Cardinal, but why would he do so?
Only Water Cardinal Sinedine showed no particular surprise, as if he had anticipated it all along.
"The Twilight's Serenity Pavilion"
This was a temple-style guesthouse that was not normally open to the public. It was only occupied when receiving important guests, such as delegations from other countries.
The guesthouse was spacious and solemn.
There were no luxurious decorations; instead, it was mostly adorned with simple murals, with white as the dominant color.
At regular intervals, pillars inlaid with obsidian served as supports.
The two sides were decorated with large panes of transparent glass, and the sunlight from outside shone through.
On the surface of the white stone tiles, turquoise ripples like seawater were reflected.
At this moment.
Remedios and the others from the Holy Kingdom had been settled in the west wing of the guesthouse. Only Tang Zheng followed Judicial Chief Gu toward the other side of the building.
Noticing that Tang Zheng had seen the light reflected on the ground from the glass.
Judicial Chief Gu smiled kindly, "Leader Tang, it's very interesting, isn't it?"
"This isn't glass, is it?" asked Tang Zheng.
"That's right. It's a special crystal polished by an artisan. It contains no magic. This crystal can refract different colors depending on the angle of the sunlight."
Judicial Chief Gu was quite patient, explaining like an ordinary old man:
"Azure at dawn, red at noon, green at dusk, and brown at night."
Tang Zheng glanced at Judicial Chief Gu, feigning a look of surprise. This kind of glass that could refract different colors through sunlight...
It reminded him of the dispersion prisms from his previous world that could refract rainbows. Although this special crystal was a bit more magical, it wasn't particularly astonishing.
"Paired with the white and black colors, it perfectly corresponds to the Six Great Gods."
Tang Zheng exclaimed at the appropriate moment, "Everything in the Theocracy is indeed inextricably linked to the Six Great Gods."
"This country was founded by the six great gods. For the citizens of this country, no amount of worship, reverence, or gratitude is excessive."
Judicial Chief Gu walked at a leisurely pace, raising a finger to gently stroke the divine emblem hanging on his chest. His tone shifted:
"Leader Tang, how much do you know about the Six Great Gods?"
"Not much."
Tang Zheng shook his head, answering bluntly. He could sense that this Judicial Chief was probing him in some way.
The fact that he had been separated from Remedios and the others from the Holy Kingdom further confirmed this.
They still hadn't mentioned the "Blend Potion," which, from another perspective, only emphasized how much the people of the Theocracy valued the potion.
Judicial Chief Gu was not surprised. The Re-Estize Kingdom was not a country that completely believed in the "Six Great Gods."
"Then how much do you know about humanity?" Judicial Chief Gu continued with a smile.
"That's a rather broad topic, Your Excellency the Judicial Chief."
Tang Zheng shrugged. "It's better to be direct. The purpose of my visit to the Theocracy is because of the 'Blend Potion'."
"I'm very curious to what extent the Theocracy has studied the potion I created."
Judicial Chief Gu was taken aback for a moment, then gave a wry smile. "Young people are truly impatient."
"I don't know much about your potion. Currently, the only ones who can truly satisfy your curiosity are those few Cardinals."
"I expect you will be able to meet them tomorrow."
Judicial Chief Gu's speaking rhythm was interrupted by Tang Zheng's sudden directness, but he adjusted in an instant.
"Regarding the 'Blend Potion' you concocted, the one thing I understand is that it has the potential to change the fate of all humanity."
As he spoke the last words.
Judicial Chief Gu's tone was filled with solemnity and gravity.
"Change the fate of humanity?"
Tang Zheng showed none of the expected surprise or astonishment. Instead, he waved his hand and spoke very casually:
"I don't think a single potion can achieve something like that."
This old fox!
He was trying to place such a heavy burden on him right from the start. He wasn't going to play along.
From the Judicial Chief's words, Tang Zheng analyzed that the "Blend Potion" must have exhibited a much more powerful effect in the hands of the Slane Theocracy, though he wasn't sure what that effect was.
The Slane Theocracy possessed the legacy of the Six Great Gods. Perhaps some of those legacies reacted with the potion, producing unexpected power.
Tang Zheng's curiosity grew, but he didn't show it.
No matter what the Slane Theocracy had discovered!
There was one thing they couldn't get around: he was the creator. If the Slane Theocracy could have researched the "Blend Potion" on their own, they would have had no reason to seek him out.
Judicial Chief Gu gazed intently at Tang Zheng beside him, a flash of helplessness in his eyes, and was momentarily speechless.
Although he hadn't been in contact with this Leader Tang for long, through this brief exchange, he clearly realized that the other party was a slippery fellow.
No matter what he said, the other party would not easily go along with it, instead changing the subject and repeatedly disrupting his rhythm.
The most troublesome part of this whole affair was actually that group from the Holy Kingdom. Their appearance was certainly not just to cause trouble.
The Holy Kingdom clearly wanted a piece of the enormous benefits produced by the "Blend Potion"!
If this were any other time,
the Holy Kingdom wouldn't have even the slightest chance to interfere, but now that Tang Zheng was the creator of the potion, the Slane Theocracy could no longer call all the shots.
"Leader Tang, you still haven't answered the question from before."
"How much do you know about humanity?" Judicial Chief Gu's eyes glinted, and he asked again with the same kind demeanor.
"Well, although I'm an adventurer, I haven't been to many places. I only know about a few countries." Tang Zheng simply gave a formulaic answer.
