Tang Zheng lifted his foot and walked towards the damaged steps of the temple, arriving next to Khajiit's corpse, a thick, slightly foul-smelling bloody scent permeating the air.
His eyes were wide open in death, his head, filled with unwillingness, rolled to one side.
Seeing this scene.
Tang Zheng let out a soft sigh.
It wasn't pity for Khajiit, but a sudden realization that, unknowingly, he no longer felt any discomfort towards such scenes.
The month-plus of slaughtering Goblins in the Tove Great Forest seemed to have indeed caused some changes in his temperament.
Thinking about his previous life, he hadn't even killed a chicken.
He never expected that after transmigrating to this world, in just about two months, he had already completely adapted.
He reached out and picked up the Shadow Staff and Bone Necklace, two Magic Items.
The Blood-Red Robe he was wearing was also a Magic Item, but it had been destroyed by the Flame Archangel's attack, which Tang Zheng found a bit of a pity.
That Blood-Red Robe should be worth a lot of money.
He appraised the two Magic Items and found that they were both related to necromantic professions, not very useful to Tang Zheng.
"You four stay here and guard the outside for now."
Tang Zheng casually pointed at four Flame Archangels, instructing them to guard outside the temple.
Then.
He led two Flame Archangels and walked towards the secret passage below the temple.
After about seven or eight minutes.
Tang Zheng walked back up from the secret passage below, with nothing to show for it except some dust on his body.
There was nothing of value inside at all, a wasted expectation.
"Burn it."
Tang Zheng waved his hand, giving the order to the Flame Archangels.
Several Flame Archangels immediately flew forward and touched Khajiit's corpse with their flaming swords, turning it into ashes in a moment.
Among them, one Flame Archangel flew towards Khajiit's severed arm.
"Wait."
Tang Zheng's eyes flickered, and he suddenly spoke.
He walked forward.
Picked up the severed arm, and then casually found a piece of rag to wrap it up.
"Time to leave."
Tang Zheng looked up at the direction of the city walls in the distance in the night, and returned the way he came.
Outside the tightly closed, heavy gate.
On the two illuminated watchtowers, lit by the light of 'Eternal Light'.
The guards looked towards the depths of the cemetery with some fear.
"What exactly happened in the cemetery, why is there light appearing?"
"Should we report it...?"
"Idiot!"
"What does what happens in the cemetery have to do with us? It's nighttime now."
A trembling voice immediately rang out.
"But."
"No buts, you fool, our mission is to prevent the Undead from charging the gate."
"Are there any Undead rushing into the gate right now!"
"What happens in the cemetery has nothing to do with us."
"It's not too late to report it when it's dawn. Let those Adventurers go in and investigate."
A series of chaotic and fearful voices echoed from the two watchtowers.
Tang Zheng's figure had already successfully climbed over the wall and disappeared into the night.
By the time he returned to the inn, it was around two o'clock in the morning.
Tang Zheng used the alley as a foothold, easily climbed to the second floor, and returned to his room through the window.
"Woof!"
The Small Evil Spirit Dog saw Tang Zheng return and immediately got up from the ground, letting out an excited low growl.
"Shh!" Tang Zheng raised a finger and put it to his lips.
"Woof~" The Small Evil Spirit Dog lowered its voice, wagged its tail, and stepped forward to rub its head against Tang Zheng's trouser leg.
"Good boy, Xiao Hei."
Tang Zheng chuckled, feeling that this Small Evil Spirit Dog was really like a dog.
"I'll take a shower first. You're carrying a rotten smell."
Tang Zheng took off the Black Robe wrapped around his body and casually threw the rag wrapping Khajiit's arm into a corner.
He entered the small bathroom in the room.
The Odor Removal spell could eliminate the smell on his body, but Tang Zheng preferred to take a shower to make himself more comfortable.
A moment later.
As a burst of white steam emerged.
Tang Zheng walked out of the shower and saw the Small Evil Spirit Dog lying in the corner, opening the package containing Khajiit's arm, curiously staring at the arm.
"There's negative energy inside. If you eat it, you'll probably die a little faster," Tang Zheng said indifferently.
"Woof." The Small Evil Spirit Dog didn't understand the meaning of Tang Zheng's words, but it could perceive something from the expression on Tang Zheng's face, shrank its head, and took a few steps back.
He glanced at the pale and dry arm.
Tang Zheng refocused his gaze; it wasn't like he had some kind of strange fetish for collecting corpses.
But when the Flame Archangel was about to dispose of the arm, Tang Zheng suddenly remembered.
In the anime, after Khajiit and Clementine were both killed by the Darkness Adventurer team disguised by the Bone King.
The bodies of the two suddenly disappeared from the storage place.
The Bone King didn't care about this situation, but Tang Zheng couldn't afford to ignore it.
There were only two possibilities for the disappearance of the corpses: one was that they were stolen, and there were still people from Zuranon or their subordinates in E-Rantel.
The other.
Was that they had been resurrected.
Tang Zheng brought back this arm to determine if it was the second situation.
Once the dead are resurrected, the remaining parts of the resurrected dead person's body will also disappear along with it.
As for the location after resurrection, it is at the caster's location.
The leader of Zuranon is very mysterious.
Tang Zheng actually had a suspicion in his heart that both Khajiit and Clementine, who defected from the Midnight Scripture, were people from the Slane Theocracy.
So he had a guess that the leader of Zuranon might also be a person from the Slane Theocracy! There are Six-Colored Scripture troops in the Slane Theocracy, which ostensibly correspond to the Six Great Gods, but in fact, the strongest troop, the Midnight Scripture, is selected from the other five troops.
Rather than corresponding to one of the Six Great Gods, it is better to say that it is a special troop that combines the other five colored troops! The five human Players among the Six Great Gods died the earliest, and only one heteromorphic God of Death Player survived the longest.
And it is precisely this God of Death who has survived the longest, and the members of the Slane Theocracy who believe in the 'God of Death' are very mysterious.
Or rather, it was as if it didn't exist at all on the surface.
This was also why Tang Zheng suspected that the leader of the Zuranon alliance was a member of the Slane Theocracy.
Because "resurrection magic" was in the domain of faith-based magic!
Mana-based Magic Casters could not master resurrection magic, not even Bone King.
The reason Bone King could use resurrection magic was because he had a large reserve of resurrection items and no-cost, pay-to-win items.
He himself had not mastered resurrection magic.
"Why do I feel like there are so many schemers in this world?" Tang Zheng rubbed his temples and walked towards the bed.
"Woof!"
Suddenly, the Small Evil Spirit Dog let out a low growl.
Tang Zheng paused and turned to look behind him, finding the Small Evil Spirit Dog was warily looking at the severed arm.
Whoosh—
Khajiit's severed arm was emitting a faint blue light, and in the blink of an eye, the entire arm disappeared into thin air like melting snow.
Buzz—
"Discovered skill "Raise Dead - Modified", requires Mana-based Magic Caster Level (29-35), current conditions met."
"Consume Skill Point to learn?"
[Skill Point: 40 → 39]
Skill: Raise Dead - Modified (Tier 5) Consumption: 25 (50)
Introduction: The original faith-based magic "Raise Dead", modified through special means, consumes double the Mana, allowing Mana-based Magic Casters to cast it.
Note: This magic can be used in conjunction with special methods to reduce the degree of damage to the corpse required.
...
Looking at the information displayed on the panel.
Tang Zheng's expression became a little strange, and he grinned, "My luck is really bad, not only did I guess wrong, but this alliance leader seems to be more troublesome than I imagined."
Although he said that, one could hear from his tone that Tang Zheng seemed to be in a good mood.
...
A piece of unknown land.
The entire land presented a dark brown color as if dyed red by blood, and an invisible mist permeated the air, causing the moonlight to reflect a dark red hue.
"Caw!"
"Caw!"
A crow-like cry rang out from above.
This was not the cry of a crow, but a similar sound made by some kind of avian Undead, whose throat was affected.
In this area, there should be no living creatures.
Unwillingness!
Anger! Despair!
Various negative emotions filled Khajiit's heart, and the fear of death made his whole body tremble.
Why am I still conscious? Shouldn't I be dead? The thought suddenly flashed through Khajiit's mind, and then, as if something had triggered a reaction, he suddenly opened his eyes.
"Huff! Huff! Huff!"
Khajiit sat up, panting heavily, the look of fear and despair in his eyes had not completely faded.
"How interesting."
"If I remember correctly, you should be in E-Rantel, right? There shouldn't be anyone who can threaten you in such a small place."
A faint, harsh sound like two iron bars rubbing together rang out from the front.
Khajiit raised his head and saw a figure shrouded in darkness. It wasn't the effect of clothing; rather, the Mana emanating from the figure was affecting reality, causing their entire form to be enveloped in Darkness.
"L-Lord,"
Khajiit trembled and quickly scrambled to his feet, kneeling on the ground.
