chapter 397 part 2
A soft voice sounded.
"It's like this..." Climb raised his head, wanting to explain to Renner, but in the next moment, the words caught in his throat. He was instantly at a loss, his face filled with panic.
For he saw!
Renner's face was filled with sorrow, and crystalline tears welled up in her blue pupils, looking as if she were about to cry at any moment.
"Princess, Princess, um..."
Climb became more flustered than ever before. He shot to his feet, nearly hitting his head on the carriage roof, looking completely frantic.
"Didn't you promise to protect me forever?"
Renner sobbed softly with great sorrow, a teardrop sliding from the corner of her eye down her fair, delicate cheek.
"Yes!"
Climb replied, his voice hoarse and panicked. He felt as if his heart was about to break and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Leinas looked at the frantic Climb, then at the softly sobbing Renner. She shrank back a little, and the corner of her eye twitched.
Slane Theocracy.
Holy Capital.
The man known as Four Great Elements, holding a magic staff, walked silently out of the church, a trace of fatigue in his eyes.
As the representative of the Theocracy for the first transaction with Tang, the captain of the adventurer team Free Will.
He had been the one sent to the Abelion Hills to handle the transaction for the "Blend Potion."
It had been a memorable and unpleasant trip!
The Abelion Hills were once the territory of demi-humans. Even a powerful individual like him had to be careful when entering such a place.
If that were all, it would have been fine.
For a transaction of such great importance, one concerning the survival of humanity, that Lord Tang had not appeared from beginning to end.
What was even more infuriating and worrying!
The entire transaction process was handled by a demi-human named "Cuiye," which was truly unsettling.
"Yo."
A somewhat impatient, yawning greeting sounded from ahead.
Four Great Elements raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice, his eyes narrowing imperceptibly. "Clementine?"
"You took a long time reporting. I've been waiting for you for a while."
Clementine greeted him with a grin. Pushing off slightly from the corner she was leaning against, she got up and walked briskly ahead, waving her hand.
"That person wants to see you."
The expression of Four Great Elements changed abruptly. His eyes flickered with gloomy uncertainty before he followed, head bowed.
They walked through a long corridor, arriving in the depths of the Holy Capital.
*Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!*
In the distance, on the training ground, an extremely fast afterimage moved rapidly. A cruciform scythe swung, its black blade streaking through the air like a shadow.
It let out a sharp, piercing sound as it cut through the air!
Four Great Elements and Clementine stood at the very edge of the training ground, their breathing involuntarily becoming a little more rapid.
It was clearly just simple training.
Yet the oppressive feeling emanating from that figure had unknowingly caused a layer of fine, cold sweat to break out on the foreheads of the two 'Heroes'.
Too terrifying!
The more powerful one was, the more one could feel the terrifying power contained within that figure who casually swung their weapon and moved with such speed.
Faced with such a powerful individual, they would probably be finished in a single exchange!
Clementine collected herself, involuntarily comparing that person to that man in her mind, though she came to no conclusion.
Compared to those two, the gap in her own strength was too vast, like an ant that, no matter how it tried to imagine, could never comprehend the power of an elephant.
The face of Four Great Elements, however, had turned somewhat pale. He wasn't sure why this person had suddenly summoned him.
A fear that came from the bottom of his heart.
Caused the mind of Four Great Elements to race with wild thoughts. Suddenly, the movements in the training ground came to a halt, and he couldn't help but lower his head subconsciously.
Like an ostrich burying its head in the sand, not wanting to be targeted by a fearsome beast, when in reality, the large part of its body left exposed only made it more conspicuous and ridiculous.
Zesshi Zetsumei lightly tapped her feet on the ground. Her agile figure leaped into the air like a spring and then landed in front of Clementine and the other.
"You're here."
Zesshi Zetsumei lazily lifted her cruciform scythe and rested it on her shoulder. "Want to stretch your legs?"
After that round of training.
Not only was there not a single drop of sweat on her body, but her breathing was also completely unaffected. That level of training couldn't even be considered a warm-up.
Stretch our legs?
The bodies of Clementine and Four Great Elements tensed abruptly, fear and nervousness showing in their eyes.
Are you kidding!
If they agreed, all that would await them was a sound beating. Even if healing magic could treat their injuries, the pain of the process could not be forgotten.
"Forget it."
Seeing their reactions, Zesshi Zetsumei spoke with disinterest, but her hand gripping the cruciform scythe tightened.
Not having a truly powerful opponent is a kind of pain in itself, huh.
Maybe that guy is worthy of my full strength... Father... what a ridiculous title.
"Have I entered a sentimental phase?" Zesshi Zetsumei didn't mind that the two before her heard her muttering to herself.
Clementine and Four Great Elements remained expressionless, still obediently keeping their heads bowed.
"Right, why did they send you?" Zesshi Zetsumei asked suddenly.
Four Great Elements naturally knew she was asking him. Although he wondered why Zesshi Zetsumei would care about this, he still answered truthfully.
"Presumably because I know some of the inside details."
Four Great Elements spoke respectfully, "Additionally, the 'Blend Potion' is extremely valuable. To be on the safe side, having a member of our Black Scripture handle it provides more security."
"In the entire Scripture team, only myself and 'Infinite Magic' have mastered teleportation magic, and you are aware of 'Infinite Magic's' personality."
His voice paused here.
Four Great Elements let out a soft breath. It seemed this wasn't what he had been worried about. On this trip to the Abelion Hills, he had deliberately left behind coordinates so that Teleportation magic could be used to travel back and forth for 'Blend Potion' transactions in the future, ensuring security.
"Tell me what you saw," Zesshi Zetsumei said in a lazy tone, as if asking casually out of boredom.
Four Great Elements naturally didn't dare to answer carelessly. Although the Cardinal had forbidden him from leaking any related information.
But Zesshi Zetsumei's position in the entire Theocracy was extremely special. Moreover, he didn't want to get beaten up for no reason, so he obediently recounted the entire process.
Zesshi Zetsumei nodded, then waved her hand and said, "I understand. The next time you go to the Hills, let me know."
"Yes!"
Four Great Elements was a bit surprised, but he nodded and responded respectfully.
Zesshi Zetsumei turned and returned to the training ground. Thinking of how Tang Zheng had slipped away from her last time, she let out a soft hmph.
