For Fangzheng, killing a small monster was just a warm-up. After all, Lina Imbas had not summoned the Golden King of Nightmares yet, so he could only find something else to do. In his opinion, killing a Lich was no longer a big deal. An enemy of this level was no longer a threat to the current Fangzheng.
But the others obviously did not think so.
But they did not know what to do.
"… So, are you sure?"
"I'm sure, Your Highness."
Looking at Princess Lana in front of her, Lardis nodded with a serious expression.
"That Knight's power is completely beyond our imagination. Please forgive me for being blunt, but if he wanted to, he could destroy the entire capital in an instant … I don't know what that is. It looks like some kind of world-class item, but … I've never heard of such an item. In my opinion, there is no item in this world that can match its power!"
Recalling the pillar of light that descended from the sky, Lardis could not help but tremble. She put down the teacup in her hand.
"Your Highness, I don't know what you're thinking, but … I think it's best if we don't become enemies with that Sir Knight."
"I see …"
Looking at Lardis's expression, Princess Lana picked up the teacup and took a sip of black tea.
"Is it possible for us to rope him in?"
"This … I'm not sure. That Sir Knight doesn't seem to care much about money and benefits. If I'm not wrong, he should belong to a certain faction. I'm sorry, but I don't think there's anything we can do to rope him in."
Lardis shook her head again. She basically did not understand what Fangzheng was talking about when he was fighting the Lich. But when Fangzheng communicated with her through his personal terminal, she understood a little. At least, Lardis knew that Fangzheng was ordering someone to activate the world-class item.
From this point alone, it was obvious that Fangzheng's identity was not ordinary. Many countries in this continent had world-class items, but it was not easy to activate them with just a word from their ruler.
"Is that Lich really that strong?"
"It's very powerful. It can even instantly cast Supreme Magic!"
"Then its identity …?"
"Sorry, we don't have any valuable information."
Having said that, Ladis was rendered speechless. As Fangzheng had turned the entire graveyard upside down, they hadn't found anything useful.
"Looks like this continent isn't going to be peaceful again."
As she spoke, Princess Lana sighed.
"You know what? Yesterday, we received news that one of the avatars of the Demon King Sabra Nicholas seemed to have been resurrected. "
"What!?"
Hearing this, Ladis could no longer sit still.
"Really?"
"The information is correct. In fact, no one expected the doppelganger to be sealed in the eye of the Red Mage Reizo …."
"Red Mage Reizang … I've heard of his name before. I didn't expect a demon king to be sealed in his body …"
Ladis frowned as she spoke.
"Then, what should we do?"
"There's nothing we can do."
"Eh?"
Ladis was taken aback by Princess Lana's reply.
"That's the Demon King Sabra Nikola we're talking about! Your Highness! Even if it's just a doppelganger, it can destroy the entire world! Don't tell me you've forgotten what happened to this land after the battle against the Demon King hundreds of years ago? "
Of course, Ladis didn't participate in that battle, but she was the descendant of the 13 heroes. She grew up listening to the stories of the resistance against the Demon King Sabra Nikola. It could be said that compared to others, Ladis had a clearer understanding of the threat of the Demon King. As for the Lich … well, she admitted that he was indeed powerful, but he was far from being comparable to the Demon King.
"Of course I won't forget. But Ladis, you don't have to be so anxious."
Princess Lana smiled and gestured for Ladis to sit down.
"Fortunately, the doppelganger was defeated."
"Defeated? Who? "
"Lina Imbus."
"Lina Imbus …."
Hearing this name, Ladis frowned and pondered for a moment.
"That bandit nemesis? I've indeed heard of her name … but … she defeated the Demon King's doppelganger? "
"At least for now, that seems to be the case. The Adventurer's Guild is also reviewing it. If there are no mistakes, she will be promoted to a Platinum-ranked adventurer."
"Platinum … … It's been a long time since a Platinum-ranked adventurer appeared."
Speaking up to here, Ladis was a little yearning. As a descendant of the Thirteen Heroes, she naturally desired to become a Platinum-ranked adventurer. Unfortunately, it wasn't that easy to become a Platinum-ranked adventurer. Of course, Ladis wasn't strong enough. Just like the Lich this time. If Ladis could lead Cang Qiang to defeat the Lich, she would be able to rise to Platinum-rank.
Although the gap between a Lich and a Demon King was a little too big, it was still not enough.
But you can't expect to meet a demon king every now and then.
At that moment, Fangzheng received news through his own channels that Lina InBath had killed the Demon King's doppelganger. After watching the video transmitted back, Fangzheng breathed a sigh of relief.
The whole process was not too different from what Fangzheng remembered. Lina InBath finally used Heavy Slash and killed Shabra Nikola in one fell swoop. For Fangzheng, this result was enough to satisfy him. This also meant that Fibrizo would pay attention to her, and after that, Lina InBath would use Heavy Slash again to summon the Golden King of Nightmares … … Well, just knowing this was enough for Fangzheng.
Therefore, Fangzheng left King's City in satisfaction. He returned to the "Novice Village" and found the Priestess. Then … …
"What the hell is this?"
Fangzheng was completely dumbfounded as he looked at the ancient castle built on the precipitous cliff.
I asked you to buy a manor, so why did you buy a castle?
"What do you think? Not bad, right? "
The Priestess did not reply, but looking at the smug Hui Hui beside her, Fangzheng knew who the culprit was.
"You did it? Who told you to buy this?! "
Looking at Hui Hui's smug look, Fangzheng angrily gave her a punishing punch on the head.
"Why did you hit me? Don't you think this place is cool and handsome? This is an ancient castle! And it's built in such a beautiful place, and it's so cheap!! "
"Well … … it's really cheap … …"
The Priestess timidly added, then explained to Fangzheng.
According to the Priestess, after they returned, they did visit the Adventurer's Guild to ask them to recommend nearby manors. Unfortunately, although the Adventurer's Guild helped a lot, most of the manors they recommended were so expensive that the Priestess did not know what to do.
It was like an office worker who lived frugally all day just to pay off a 30-year mortgage. How was he supposed to choose between a 30 million dollar villa and a 50 million dollar sea-view house?
In the eyes of the Priestess … … both were fine!
The money Fangzheng gave the Priestess was naturally enough to buy the most expensive kind, but the Priestess was used to being poor, Hui Hui did not look like a rich person, and Aisi had no interest in money at all. In the end, they adopted the most common method of the poor, and that was — — to buy the cheapest, most cost-effective one!
In the end, they chose this castle located outside the town.
According to the receptionist of the Adventurer's Guild, this castle originally belonged to a noble lord a long time ago. Something happened to the noble lord's family, and the place was abandoned. Of course, some adventurers came here to explore, but nothing was left … … It was just an ordinary castle.
For other nobles, they were not willing to buy this kind of place. They always felt that it was bad luck. For ordinary rich people, buying this kind of place was too ostentatious. Although merchants were rich, they had no social status, and the castle was far away in the suburbs. Although it used to be a very lively place, it had been abandoned for nearly a hundred years. Even if there were no bandits around, there were still all kinds of monsters around.
The nobles were unwilling to buy it, and the merchants who could afford it were unwilling to spend the money, so the place was awkwardly left empty. For the Adventurer's Guild, as long as they could sell it … … they didn't care about anything else.
"… … Okay, I understand what you're thinking …."
Looking at the castle in front of him, Fangzheng shook his head. He had to admit that although this place was a little far from the manor Fangzheng had envisioned, its location was indeed not bad. Hui Hui might be a chuunibyou, but she really knew how to choose a place. The castle was located at the top of the mountain next to it, and one could almost see the beautiful scenery around them. There were also lush forests and lakes in front of them, and there was even a river next to it. Although Sheyan did not know if it was artificially dug or naturally formed, at least the scenery here was quite good.
The biggest drawback was that it was relatively far from the town, so there was no guarantee of safety.
Of course, this was not a problem for Fangzheng.
"Okay … … I understand. Since you've already bought it … … What about Chialei and the others? Don't tell me you've arranged for them to live in there. "
Although it was an ancient castle, it was an old thing from hundreds of years ago. It was still questionable whether the function of sheltering them from the wind and rain was normal. Although it looked intact on the outside, it might collapse if someone stepped on it. Besides, there were usually snakes, rats, mosquitoes and the like in this kind of place. Letting Chialei and the others live here would be a torture.
"… … I've arranged for Chialei and the others to stay in the hotel for the time being."
"Well, that's more like it … … By the way, what about Meiyin? How is she? "
Speaking of this, Fangzheng could not help but smile. As a transmigrator himself, he wanted to see how Meiyin would convince her parents.
"This … …"
To Fangzheng's surprise, the priestess showed a troubled expression when faced with this question.
"I'm very sorry, Sir Knight, but we couldn't find Miss Meiyin."
"Huh? What's the situation? "
"According to her parents … … Miss Meiyin seems to have been taken away by the people of the Temple …."
"… … Huh?"
Hearing the priestess' answer, Fangzheng was dumbfounded.
"What's the situation? Tell me in detail."
"It's like this … …"
While speaking, the priestess repeated what she knew to Fangzheng. According to her, Meiyin originally went to the Temple to participate in the baptism, but she did not come out. This made Meiyin's parents very anxious. They entrusted someone to ask, but in the end, they only got some information from the Temple. It was said that Meiyin seemed to have been imprisoned for attacking the Temple Elder. According to what they heard, it seemed that Meiyin was going to become a servant in the Temple as a punishment … ….
"Isn't the Temple your hometown? Can't you do anything about it? "
Fangzheng still clearly remembered that the priestess also came from the Temple.
"It's not like that, Sir Knight! “
To Fangzheng's surprise, the priestess immediately jumped up in anxiety when she heard his question and explained to him. After listening to the priestess' explanation, Fangzheng understood that in this world, the situation of each religion was different.
Most religions had their own churches. For example, the Church of Mother Earth, where the priestess was from, and the Goddess of Fortune, Eris, would name their respective gods in front of the religion.
For example, if the priestess wanted to introduce herself to outsiders, she would say that she was a priestess from the Church of Mother Earth, so that everyone would know her identity and faith.
However, the other type of temple was political. Rather than calling it a temple, it was more like a comprehensive religious organization. This was the "Temple". Strictly speaking, it was a bit like a religious administration department, usually responsible for mediating and investigating the various religions.
This kind of Temple existed in every country, and the main managers were the political figures of each country. The task of the Temple was to be responsible for unifying the various religions in the country.
Therefore, the priestess could do nothing about it. She was just an insignificant priestess in the Church of Mother Earth. You couldn't expect her to have any influence on this kind of political organization.
It was just like how you couldn't expect a mountain village teacher to go directly to the Ministry of Education to issue an order.
The priestess also used her identity to go in a few times, but she was not familiar with the internal situation, so naturally, she could not find Meiyin.
"I understand."
After listening to the priestess' cause and effect of the matter, Fangzheng finally understood.
"Leave it to me. Let me see what's going on."
