"3000 sets of magic armor and weapons?"
The Emerald Witch's face showed surprise, and the White Mist Witch and Lizardman Kuruche were also astonished.
The atmosphere in the hall became quiet.
"Is there a problem?" Tang Zheng noticed the strangeness and asked, puzzled.
"Master."
"This subordinate does not have a complete understanding of the process of making a magic item, but knows that it is quite difficult for a skilled craftsman to make one."
The Emerald Witch organized her words and spoke respectfully:
"3000 sets of magic items, even if those dwarves work at full capacity, it will probably take a considerable amount of time."
She heard from her master's words that he seemed to want to complete the production of the magic items as quickly as possible.
Only then did Tang Zheng realize that his request was indeed a bit high for these ordinary dwarf craftsmen.
If it were just forging ordinary weapons, there should be no problem, but magic items are different. Calculated by value, the most ordinary magic items are around 500 gold coins.
The price of over 3000 sets of magic items is at least 1.5 million gold coins, which is a considerable expense even for human countries.
Thinking about it carefully, the elite troops in human countries who wear magic items are only a few hundred people.
As expected, I still have to take the elite route.
Tang Zheng thought silently in his heart, looking at the Emerald Witch with a little surprise:
"You actually know about this kind of thing?"
"When the master asked this subordinate to sell magic potions with Anri before, this subordinate was curious about the magic items sold in human item workshops and specifically learned about them."
The Emerald Witch bowed slightly and said respectfully.
Tang Zheng smiled lightly. He found that he really hadn't paid much attention to these things before.
He didn't really care about ordinary magic items, and most of his energy was focused on how to gain experience and improve his strength.
"Let the Dark Dwarves and dwarf craftsmen give a time for forging a magic item."
After thinking, Tang Zheng decided to first determine how long it would take these dwarves to make a magic item.
The Emerald Witch replied: "Yes!"
"I will stay deep in the southern mountains during this time. If anything happens..."
Tang Zheng said this and looked at the Lizardman Kuruche beside him: "Just use the Fourth Tier magic 'Cloud Manipulation' to get my attention."
"Understood, Master." The Lizardman Kuruche lowered her white, delicate scaled neck. When she said the word "Master," she still felt a little unnatural.
...
Using teleportation magic.
Returning to the depths of the southern mountains, this is an area surrounded by mountains on all sides, with some tall weeds and tree canopies blocking the view.
Whether using "Flight" or detection magic like "Clairvoyance," it is not easy to discover this place.
Tang Zheng appeared in front of the Dragonkin Ladon, who was affected by charm, and his desire to research was high.
"Although the value of this 'True Dragon Lord's Heart' is very high, item appraisal cannot detect any useful information."
"I can only experiment little by little, and there is also the ability to transform into a dragon... In short, there are quite a few things that need to be figured out."
Tang Zheng frowned. He had been researching for a while, but still had no clue.
However, one thing was already certain.
This "True Dragon Lord's Heart" had replaced the original heart of the Dragonkin Ladon. Logically, with the opponent's strength, Tang Zheng should have killed the opponent first and then used resurrection magic to degrade him to ensure complete control.
But because of this situation.
Tang Zheng was temporarily unable to determine whether the opponent's original heart would recover during the process of killing the Dragonkin Ladon and then resurrecting him.
If this happened, there was a possibility that the "True Dragon Lord's Heart" would be rejected or damaged unexpectedly.
"Transform into a dragon."
Tang Zheng spoke to the Dragonkin Ladon in front of him.
"Roar!"
The Dragonkin Ladon subconsciously let out a roar. His weak body swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a 20-meter-tall golden giant dragon.
"The aura has become a little weaker. There is some kind of consumption during the transformation process." Tang Zheng's eyes flowed with the light of magic, carefully observing the entire process.
In the following days.
Apart from regularly activating the "Great Ritual · Final War (Good)" every day to collect experience, Tang Zheng spent the rest of his time researching.
Four days passed in a flash.
Upper Wind Moon, April 23rd.
Experience Slot: 6000000/360000
Tang Zheng shook the blood off his hands, sat expressionlessly on a rock, and chewed on a piece of wild boar hind leg meat.
His hair was a bit messy, and his clean white priest's robe had turned gray and was stained with quite a bit of dirt and blood.
"I roasted it a little longer on purpose, but it's still a bit tough."
Tang Zheng chewed a few bites, swallowed the wild boar meat, picked up his water skin, took a gulp of water, and looked at himself at the moment:
"I should have known to spend a skill point and learn the 'Clean' magic."
He shook his head helplessly.
He had gained a little over the past few days.
"The experience is enough, it's about time to level up." Tang Zheng's gaze fell on the experience bar, his eyes slightly brightened, and he silently thought to himself.
Buzz!
A powerful aura fluctuation surged from Tang Zheng's body again, rising higher and higher, and an invisible wave of air spread out, shaking away the weeds and rotten leaves beneath the rocks.
His priest's robe moved without wind, making a clear sound!
Tang Zheng felt the sense of power from the elevation of his life level again, and there was a faint glint in his eyes.
—The rapidly growing aura paused!

...
Looking at the information on the panel, he waited quietly.
"Huh?"
There was no movement.
Tang Zheng's face showed a look of surprise, and he continued to wait.
A minute passed.
The attribute panel still did not show any prompts for triggering a profession build.
"What's going on? The [Saintly Master] and [Fallen Lord] two advanced professions have reached max level."
"According to the normal profession build, a new profession should be triggered. Why hasn't it appeared?"
Tang Zheng's casual attitude disappeared, and a look of surprise and confusion appeared on his face. He raised his palm and pointed forward.
"Radiant Sword!"
A two-meter-long sword radiating sacred light condensed out of thin air in mid-air and quickly fell from the sky.
Boom!
The Radiant Sword exploded the moment it touched the ground, and the sacred energy covered all objects within a 15m radius, turning all the bushes into dust.
As the light faded, a deep pit appeared on the ground.
"Spiritual Aura of Depravity!"
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed, and a dense black negative energy overflowed from his entire body, transforming into a visible wave-like tide.
The surrounding bushes, grass, and rocks were all corroded and eroded by the negative energy. Even the sturdy stone Tang Zheng was sitting on instantly became fragile and loose, turning into a pile of waste slag with a slight force!
"Using the skill has no effect. Two similar professions should be able to construct a stronger profession."
"Could the speculation be wrong? The profession construction in 'YGGDRASIL' is more complex, but why wasn't there a problem before?"
Tang Zheng stood up, raised his hands, and used the techniques of a Magic Swordsman. Black negative energy and holy energy surged in his palms respectively, and the look of confusion in his eyes deepened:
"Or is it missing some condition?"
Without an answer for a moment, Tang Zheng could only temporarily put this matter aside.
Originally, he had planned to continue degrading and then take on other intermediate professions after triggering a special profession to obtain new high-tier professions.
The current situation.
This thought of Tang Zheng's was temporarily extinguished. He had to figure out why he couldn't trigger a special profession.
Slane Theocracy.
God Capital.
As the morning light appeared, it dyed the spire of the tallest tower in the center of the city golden, followed by a clear chime.
With a "dong" sound.
A dull yet penetrating sound echoed in the sky.
The clock at the top of this huge cathedral was one of the oldest buildings in the entire theocracy, said to have been built according to the will of the Light God.
It was called the "Bell of John." Although there was no mention of the meaning of the words "John" in the literature, as it had been passed down for hundreds of years, these two words had long become one of the sacred meanings.
Below the bell tower at this moment.
Several priests wearing white robes came to the bottom of this bell tower. In the hands of the priest walking at the front, he held a baby.
The priests stopped and looked up at the high bell tower, then looked towards the fish-belly white appearing in the east.
A sigh came.
The priest holding the baby stepped forward and slowly placed the baby on the ground, then knelt before the baby.
The few priests behind him did the same.
A low prayer, similar to a confession, slowly sounded.
"Giggle." The baby let out a light giggle, waving its tender white hands.
"May God bless!"
The priest kneeling before the baby raised his head, carefully picked up the baby, stood up with the other priests, and then hurried away.
Deepest part of the theocracy.
In the sacred and inviolable conference hall.
This was already the second meeting held this month, and the third Cardinal meeting this year.
The previous two only had six Cardinals, but the scale of the meeting was high. This time, even the Chief Shrine Priest also appeared in this meeting, which was quite rare.
"The meeting begins!"
"Regarding the first agenda item, the loss of the Sealed Magic Crystal." Water Cardinal Schedding, as the master of ceremonies for this meeting, spoke first with a serious tone.
"Cough."
Wind Cardinal Dominic coughed lightly, leaning forward to explain:
"Nigun has been resurrected. You have all seen the detailed report. The strength of the Zuranon leader exceeded our expectations, which caused this significant loss."
As the former captain of the Sunlight Scripture, Nigun was promoted by him. He also had some responsibility for such a serious mistake.
"What's the point of saying these things now?" Light Cardinal Ion snorted coldly, his gaunt cheeks indifferent.
"Such significant losses and mistakes can erase any previous contributions!"
"Just follow the regulations. Remove Nigun from his position as captain of the Sunlight Scripture."
"Seconded!"
Voices sounded one after another. There was no room for easing this matter.
"The second agenda item, regarding whether the leader of the evil organization Zuranon is dead, and the possibility that the lost Sealed Magic Crystal is in their hands."
Water Cardinal Schedding spoke again.
Compared to the first agenda item, the discussion among the Cardinals was much more intense this time.
"The Sealed Magic Crystal is an out-of-spec item. Positioning magic is completely ineffective."
"So, that leader might not be dead?"
"There is indeed such a possibility. From the reports from all sides, everyone only saw the leader being knocked away by the Dominion Authority Angel. Whether they are dead cannot be confirmed."
Several Cardinals debated intensely and finally decided to closely monitor any movements of Zuranon.
"The last item on the agenda."
Water Cardinal Schedding said this, his face so aged that his age was indiscernible, his skin a sallow color. However, a flush of excitement appeared on his cheeks:
"Regarding the research results of the Integration Potion, here is all the information. Please take a look first."
The Cardinals, their faces full of doubt and surprise, took the documents passed across the table and read them carefully.
"This..."
"How could this be!"
"Impossible!"
"There's actually a potion like this."
"...!"
Voices of shock and disbelief rang out around the conference table.
Sitting at the head of the table, the Chief Shrine Priest, who had remained silent until now, was the first to raise a finger and tap the table, bringing silence to the room.
"What are the investigation results regarding the Free Will team?" the Chief Shrine Priest asked sternly.
"It has been thoroughly investigated."
Water Cardinal Schedding nodded and replied:
"Aside from the Demi-human member for whom we temporarily lack more detailed information, the remaining two adventurers have been fully confirmed."
"Anri Emett, commoner, from Karn Village, a border village in the Re-Estize Kingdom. No abnormalities."
"Tang, commoner, from Stone Rock Village, a border village in the northern border of the Re-Estize Kingdom, bordering the Council State. No abnormalities."
Upon hearing the words "Council State," the expressions of the Cardinals present changed slightly.
The Chief Shrine Priest nodded gently.
"You should have seen the true effects of the Integration Potion. You should understand its significance to the Theocracy... No! To all of humanity!"
"Send someone to invite that Tang to our Theocracy. This time, he must be invited, no matter what. This concerns all of humanity."
The Chief Shrine Priest raised his arm and placed it on the table, his voice serious and earnest, falling heavily.
