Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 227 - : Gifts and Holy Crystals

Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Gifts and Holy Crystals

Although Hall’s invitation was also surprising, compared to the Bright Church represented by Sith, it still fell short.

Especially the “Female Knight” mentioned by Sith, even Tang Qi couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, but recalling Lady Stanna’s style of handling matters and her tenacity beyond ordinary people, he nodded in agreement.

From her characteristics, Stanna has the potential to become a “Bright Knight.”

Seeing the astonishment of the crowd, Sith smiled warmly and continued, “It’s not as exaggerated as you think, it’s merely an assessment invitation. Although I personally believe Lady Stanna would be well-liked by Teresa Monk, whether she can join the Church still depends on the results of the assessment.”

“I suppose it’s the same with the Ancient Castle Bureau, especially for combat personnel; assessments are necessary.”

“Exactly!”

Upon hearing this, Hall affirmed Sith’s statement.

However, even so, Stanna, as an ordinary police detective, receiving assessment invitations from both the Ancient Castle Bureau and the Bright Church of Secret Phoenix State, was enough to astonish anyone.

As for Tang Qi, he only had an invitation from the Ancient Castle Bureau as an “Artifact Forger.”

He showed no signs of disappointment, merely smiled politely and then using his usual excuse, declined Hall’s offer.

Stanna, after a moment of silence, indicated she would consider it.

Before the two left, they each informed Stanna of the assessment time and location.

Afterward, the two left the Messer Police Station with their respective subordinates. Tang Qi could see that although both were in good spirits, something still seemed amiss, especially Hall, who seemed to be pondering something between his brows.

Once the two powerful figures had left, the police station once again returned to calm.

If nothing unexpected happens, this tranquility will last for a while. The entire Messer City being swept clean, the special response team’s future work would be very leisurely, and if no abnormal events occur again for a long time, there might even be a risk of disbandment.

However, it seemed the team members were all quite willing to be “disbanded.”

With everyone gone, only Tang Qi and Stanna were left.

Tang Qi looked at the tall, mature detective next to him, sighed silently, and without needing to ask, he could guess Stanna’s thoughts. Strictly speaking, for the Mysterious Side, Stanna was no longer a novice. According to the Ancient Castle Bureau, she was a “Contactor.”

Like almost all Contactors, Stanna had a strong curiosity about the Mysterious Side.

But this is not a good thing; excessive curiosity often goes hand in hand with courting death.

If Stanna stays in Messer City with Tang Qi by her side, plus the peace in the coming time, there would be no danger to her life. Perhaps after some time, the official authorities will have trained enough Transcendents to maintain Federation order.

By then, Stanna, within the official system, would even be safer than most Wild Transcendents.

But if she joins an Extraordinary Organization and fully steps into the Mysterious Side, everything will be different.

Everyone knows that the death rate of grass-root field agents is always high, especially for organizations like the Ancient Castle Bureau and the Bright Church that frequently deal with “Abnormalities” and “Evil Gods.” Perhaps during one mission, including strong figures like Holsis, they could all be wiped out at once.

Like last night’s Evil God incident, if Tang Qi had not intervened, the entirety of Messer City would have been in great peril.

Currently, only Sally and Stanna are considered close relations by Tang Qi.

Sally is different because she harbors a “Misfortune Witch’s alternate personality” within her. From the moment she was born, she has been part of the Mysterious Side, not only unable to escape but also needing to continually strengthen her abilities, otherwise, she is doomed.

And for Stanna… Just when Tang Qi was contemplating, suddenly Stanna’s beautiful eyes looked over, and she calmly asked, “Will you stay in Messer City forever?”

Hearing this, Tang Qi was momentarily taken aback.

With this question, Tang Qi immediately knew the answer.

No way!

He is not the original, Tang Qi now pursues power and knowledge. After vanquishing his arch-enemy, he will continue to cultivate witchcraft, but will eventually reach a bottleneck. At that time, Tang Qi will surely leave Messer City to seek more knowledge and greater power.

At this thought, Tang Qi fell silent for a moment, seemingly pondering something when he suddenly smiled and said to Stanna, “Remember to notify me before you leave, I’ll send you a gift.”

Stanna seemed to be infected by Tang Qi’s smile, she also beamed and replied, “Alright.”

After parting with Stanna, Tang Qi didn’t stay at the police station as his role as a consultant found no utility there, at least not for now. He returned to the small brick building, which he had bought recently for a thousand Divine Grace Coins—a very reasonable price given that it’s located in a “school district.”

Tang Qi instructed the Night Beast to guard the entrance while he dragged out a package, which contained one of last night’s acquisitions.

Obtained through extortion from priests and Sith, it was now time to inventory.

As soon as the package opened, flickers of ghost light shone in Tang Qi’s eyes.

“Indeed the Church is wealthy with generous hands, everything exquisite and free of defects or side effects.”

Comparing what he had seen in the market with what was before him, Tang Qi couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

At the same time, streams of Information Fragments began flowing.

“Curios: Light Badge, a one-time curio that can cast low-level Light Spells, duration varies from minutes… a total of five!”

“Curios: Light Shield, a defensive category Extraordinary Weapon, initially the size of a coin, can be activated by inputting non-Evil, non-Chaotic Magic Power to summon a shield, duration depends on the user’s magic power; however, non-pure Light Magic will shorten the lifespan of this curio, a total of three.”

“Curios: Light Sword, initially a small sword-shaped ornament, can be activated by inputting non-Evil, non-Chaotic Magic Power to summon a long sword imbued with the Power of Light… non-pure Light Magic will also shorten its lifespan, a total of four.”

…

“Curios: Holy Crystal, refined from Holy Water, can be activated by inputting non-Evil, non-Chaotic Magic Power to restore, one Holy Crystal can produce one copper dove’s worth of Holy Water.”

“Buzz”

As Tang Qi was taking inventory, his vision suddenly brightened.

Before him, were several crystal clear crystals about the size of half a palm.

Each emitting a sublime purity, the attached Information Fragments informed Tang Qi that these were Holy Water Crystals highly coveted by Transcendents outside the Church, capable of inflicting terrifying damage to creatures of Chaotic Evil Camps.

The so-called “one copper dove” refers to a container used by the Church to hold Holy Water, approximately the volume of a large glass.

This means, if these dozen or so Holy Water Crystals were restored, it would equate to nearly half a barrel of pure Holy Water.

Whether taken to the market to sell or used for casting, either choice was excellent.

Tang Qi nodded in satisfaction. He finished inventorying, obtaining through extortion from the Church Light Badges *5, Light Shields *3, Light Swords *4, Light Holy Images *10, Light Seeds *6, and lastly Holy Water Crystals *16.

It couldn’t be considered a windfall, but it definitely wasn’t a loss.

Of course, from the Bright Church’s perspective, retrieving the Confessor’s Knight Sword was significant.

This was also one of the reasons why Tang Qi would use it in a transaction; after all, the broken sword was useless to him, taking it would result in being hunted by the Church, even Martin Sims, “one of their own,” criticized the Church, suggesting it to be a unprincipled yet incredibly powerful organization.

After completion of the inventory, Tang Qi stored these Curios in the safe, then headed towards the bedroom on the second floor.

According to the previous schedule, he was set to begin his first Cultivation session using the Molten Furnace Refining Method.
