chapter 396 part 2
He discovered that the effects of World-Class Items were not actually complex, but rather simple and brutally effective. And after appearing in this otherworld, World-Class Items would more or less develop certain versatile abilities!
In the YGGDRASIL setting, these World-Class Items were condensed from small worlds, and each possessed the power to stand against an entire world!
During his research, Tang Zheng discovered that the Mandala of Two Realms might also possess time-based abilities.
Currently.
The only thing he couldn't figure out was that the Mandalas on both sides were completely blank outlines, without any portraits of a Buddha.
Tang Zheng wasn't sure if the World-Class Item was like this in the game, but without a meditating Buddha, it felt like something was missing.
"..."
Evileye's lips parted. She figured the Dragon Lord must be in a bad mood after finding nothing, and her voice tightened.
"Was there a problem with the information provided by the Abyssal Body?"
"Have they contacted you during this time?" Tang Zheng asked lightly, not answering directly.
The "Magic Ascension Ritual" wasn't particularly valuable to Tang Zheng, but for other magic casters, its value was immeasurable.
If even Evileye could sense how much Tang Zheng valued the information on the "Holy Sanctuary" and "Buddha God," then the people from the Abyssal Body could certainly figure it out as well.
Tang Zheng needed to create the illusion that he had gained nothing, that the information provided by the Abyssal Body was worthless.
This concerned a World-Class Item and the investigation of the player "Buddha God." If such information fell into the hands of someone with ill intentions, they might be able to piece things together.
Evileye's aura shifted as a wave of anger rose within her.
"How dare those guys tamper with the transaction!" Evileye was a bit annoyed, especially since she had been the one to facilitate this transaction.
Moreover, this was also tied to the investigation into the destruction of the Imperia Kingdom and the identity of that True Dragon Lord.
If the Abyssal Body was cutting corners or tampering with the transaction, it proved they weren't as trustworthy as they seemed.
"`Abyss` Benjerry came secretly three more times while you were away, Lord Dragon Lord, wanting to obtain the enhancement knowledge of Magic Ascension."
Evileye reported truthfully, her tone turning cold. "I used the excuse that you were not present and stated that we could not proceed with the transaction."
Tang Zheng thought for a moment, then chuckled softly. "The people from the Abyssal Body are more anxious than we imagined."
"Yes."
Evileye nodded in agreement. "Perhaps it's because of the undead's thirst for knowledge, or perhaps it's to more quickly deal with the Dragon Lord who dominates the Abyssal Body."
"Or perhaps it's both reasons. Should we warn them?"
"Contact the Abyssal Body and change the terms of the previous transaction," Tang Zheng said to Evileye after some thought.
"Huh?"
Evileye was stunned, not reacting for a moment.
"The information they provided about the 'Holy Sanctuary' was not accurate. This kind of useless information is eroding the trust between us."
Tang Zheng spoke in a cool, calm tone. He looked at Evileye and suddenly asked:
"You're a vampire-type undead, right?"
"Ye-yes, Lord Dragon Lord."
Evileye hesitated for a moment before replying slowly, a little unable to follow the Dragon Lord's train of thought.
"Then have them produce research and knowledge regarding vampire-type undead instead. It's easier to verify the authenticity of that than some vague 'Holy Sanctuary'."
The corners of Tang Zheng's mouth lifted slightly, though the tone of his voice remained unchanged.
"As a vampire-type undead, you should also be able to gain something and increase your strength."
That's right!
Tang Zheng planned to kill two birds with one stone. Apart from Tang Zheng himself, no one could judge the authenticity of the information about the "Holy Sanctuary."
Furthermore, the information the Abyssal Body had on this subject was already centuries out of date, so it wasn't as if Tang Zheng was deliberately deceiving them.
Under normal circumstances.
Once a transaction of information or knowledge was completed, it couldn't be exchanged again, regardless of its authenticity.
This bordered on being a scoundrel's move.
However!
Tang Zheng was certain that the people from the Abyssal Body now craved the "Magic Ascension" enhancement technique more than ever before.
"Is... is this appropriate?"
A strange emotion stirred within Evileye. She was at a bit of a loss, feeling as though she was taking huge advantage.
The Dragon Lord was trading his own knowledge. Now, not only had she learned the "Magic Ascension Ritual," but they were also going to make a new transaction to acquire knowledge about vampire undead for her benefit.
And up to this point, it seemed she had given nothing in return.
"We're friends, aren't we?"
As if he could see Evileye's bewildered expression behind her mask, Tang Zheng smiled, his gaze growing profound.
"We may have to face powerful enemies in the future. If you're too weak and get killed, I would be very sad."
"Ah, ah."
Evileye grew even more flustered. A wave of nervousness she had never felt before flooded her chest, and she subconsciously fidgeted with her fingers.

Re-Estize Kingdom.
Royal Capital.
Climb wore a solemn expression. Dressed in bright silver full-body armor, his thick, triangular eyebrows were tightly knitted as he stood at the entrance of a meeting room.
He had a "keep out" demeanor, looking completely stern and humorless.
The magic casters who intentionally passed by this way had to steel themselves and hurry down the corridor under Climb's sharp gaze.
Disappointment flashed in the eyes of the departing magic casters.
No one had expected that Princess Renner, known as "Golden," would suddenly grace their Mage Guild, accompanied by Leinas, also called the "Blood Rose."
These two women!
They were currently the two most renowned and beautiful women in the Royal Capital.
Those magic casters who deliberately passed by the meeting room door had hoped to catch a glimpse of the beauty of Princess Renner and Leinas.
Unfortunately, they couldn't see a thing!
Climb's face remained icy, one hand resting on the hilt of the sword at his waist, preventing anyone from approaching.
In the Re-Estize Kingdom, which revered the spirit of knighthood, the Mage Guild didn't have much of a presence. Even Climb was influenced by this.
Of course, he wouldn't underestimate these magic casters.
He had witnessed the power that truly formidable magic casters possessed—it was something that ordinary warriors and small army units could never hope to contend with.
The images of two figures fighting in the royal court flashed through his mind.
Evileye of Blue Rose!
Tang of Free Will!
Thinking of these two people, a trace of awe and admiration flickered in Climb's eyes. Outsiders might not know.
But he knew why Her Highness Princess Renner and Lady Leinas had appeared at the Mage Guild headquarters.
It concerned the conflict with the Baharuth Empire in a month or two.
Therefore!
Climb would absolutely not allow anyone to approach the meeting room, eliminating any possibility of information being leaked or overheard.
