Chapter 284 Holy Queen Calca's Investigation: The Power of a Demon God? Tang Zheng Remained Noncommittal.
According to the Slane Theocracy and the Dragon Lords, the 7th tier represented the power of the Demon Gods.
In truth.
The Slane Theocracy's "Great Ritual" could activate 8th-tier Magic. This level of ritual generally couldn't be performed without the support of national-level Magic Casters.
The Empire's Fluder couldn't activate the Great Ritual because he hadn't mastered "Magic Rise."
However, these problems.
Didn't exist for Tang Zheng at all. The current situation was a deliberate disguise to make outsiders believe the true activator was the Lizardman Kuruche.
Looking at the Demi-humans prostrating on the ground.
"As collaborators, witnessing this level of power is your fortune." Tang Zheng spoke in a sinister tone, his voice filled with arrogance and disdain.
He was thoroughly embodying the persona he was faking.
This time.
None of the Demi-human Kings felt any rebuttal or disrespect in their hearts.
The display of such methods.
Undeniably demonstrated that the terrifying human before them truly possessed the ability to destroy their entire Tribe and Race.
The Blue Maggot King and the Pandes Queen Mother were too frightened to speak.
"Great human lord,"
The Demon Manifested People Na Su Li Ni was full of awe and worship, her hands supporting her on the ground, her upper hands embracing her shoulders on both sides: "We will certainly assist you in completing everything you want to do under your protection."
Tang Zheng nodded faintly.
"The only thing you need to do afterward is to ensure that you have sufficient Mana within your bodies. As long as it rains in the Hills area."
"I will summon you all again to cast Magic."
Tang Zheng paused here, his tone adding a hint of warning and reminder: "Do not reveal what happened today. In addition, directly facing a higher level of magical power may be a good thing for you."
"I don't want to replace you, do I?"
The Blue Maggot King, the Pandes Queen Mother, and the Demon Manifested People Na Su Li Ni hurriedly lowered their heads.
...
For more than a month, the nobles behind the various merchant groups, although tacitly did not interfere with each other, and even covered up for each other.
But such a high frequency of transactions.
The large and small participating nobles consumed their stored surplus Wheat, rice, and other crops at an alarming rate.
Even some old and rotten crops were mixed into the traded goods, because the low-intelligence Ogres didn't even bother to check.
Not deceiving these stupid Ogres was the same as turning one's back on Gold Coins.
While the large and small nobles were making a fortune, they also had to face a brand new situation, that was, the surplus grain had been exhausted.
In this situation.
The nobles were not foolish enough to trade all their grain for Gold Coins, but instead adopted the method of purchasing grain from the commoners.
This behavior, which seemed to have little impact,
indirectly drove up the price of grain on the market.
North Holy Kingdom, Holy Capital Hebans.
Inside the royal palace.
In a luxurious and grand room decorated with a strong religious atmosphere and royal style.
A blonde woman wearing a pure white Shrine Priest robe with blue decorations sat behind a royal desk carved with exquisite patterns and royal emblems, looking at the letter in her hand.
This blonde woman has a face that combines "cuteness" and "sternness," and her flower-like face reveals integrity and kindness.
The most striking feature is her golden hair, which, unlike ordinary blonde hair, radiates a more dazzling bright yellow light from every strand.
Looking up, one feels a sense of inexplicable holiness!
This person is Calca Bessarez, the first queen of the Holy Kingdom, also known as the "Treasure of the Holy Kingdom."
Looking at the contents of the letter in her hand.
The smile of the Holy Queen Calca, known as the "Angel's Halo," is gradually disappearing, and her fair face reveals anger and shock.
"How... how dare they do this!" The Holy Queen Calca said in disbelief, her fingers clutching the letter turning white.
"So."
"What exactly happened?"
A brown-haired woman asked suspiciously, her features equally well-defined, but her overall temperament exuded a sense of coldness.
"Heh, heh."
A sneer came from the side, followed by: "Of course, some idiots did some idiotic things."
The person who sneered was also a woman, with brown hair and a face very similar to the brown-haired woman.
However, the corners of her eyes and mouth were slightly different, giving her a sinister air.
These two are the "arms" of the Holy Queen Calca, the brown-haired woman is Remedios, and the tea-haired woman is Quartet.
These two are not only sisters, but also one of the most powerful people in the entire Holy Kingdom.
One controls the strongest army in the Holy Kingdom, the "Paladin Order," and is known as the strongest Paladin Order Commander of all time, the "White" of the Nine Colors.
The other controls the strongest power of the Temple, the "Shrine Priest Order," and is also the highest Priest of the Temple, the Commander of the Shrine Priest Order, also known as a Genius, and the strongest Shrine Priest in the surrounding countries on the surface.
The Holy Queen Calca was able to become the first queen and still sit firmly on the throne despite the presence of male members in the royal family, precisely because of the support of these two sisters.
After a brief quarrel between the two sisters.
They became quiet again, quietly waiting for the Holy Queen Calca to finish reading the letter.
Quartet crossed her hands over her abdomen, her movements elegant, but her eyes revealed a thoughtful look and a faint dangerous light.
She wondered what countermeasures she was contemplating.
Remedios, on the other hand, was quite curious. In her mind, there weren't many things that could make the Holy Queen Calca lose her composure.
These letters were brought by her sister, Quartet, so only she was unaware of their contents.
A few minutes passed.
The Holy Queen Calca had finished reading all the letters and information. The time spent actually reading the letters wouldn't have taken that long, but it took longer.
Clearly, she was thinking about something while reading the letters.
"Here."
The Holy Queen Calca's light blue eyes moved away from the letters, and the expression on her face had returned to calm. She looked at the curious Remedios next to her and handed the letters over.
Remedios took the letters and looked at the contents. After only a few glances, her face showed an expression of anger.
"Your Majesty Calca! I'm going to kill them!"
Flames seemed to be burning in Remedios' eyes. "How dare they trade with Demi-humans... and even trade such important supplies like food."
"They're crazy!"
If this wasn't the palace and she didn't need to maintain etiquette in front of Her Majesty Calca, Remedios would have almost roared out loud.
"These bugs who have abandoned the people, violated justice, and forgotten the casualties that Demi-humans once caused to the Kingdom!" Remedios said through gritted teeth.
"Sister."
Quartet raised her head and looked helplessly at Remedios, who seemed ready to rush out and start a massacre at any moment.
"What do you want to say!" Remedios glared.
"There's no need to rush to deal with these fools, they can't escape anyway." Quartet gently shook her head, her dark eyes showing seriousness: "The real problem now is not with these fools."
The Holy Queen Calca nodded and said seriously in a low voice, "What exactly happened in the Abelion Hills?"
"As expected."
"Your Majesty Calca, you've come to the same conclusion as me." Quartet's lips curled into a smile, her voice filled with doubt: "The relationship between the Demi-human Race in the Abelion Hills and us, needless to say, how could they trade with us humans?"
"Especially the Ogres, a race with such low intelligence. I suspect something happened in the Hills area."
"In addition, the person behind the control of the Ogres is different from the usual Demi-humans. This kind of 'transaction' is not something that the Demi-humans in the Hills area could come up with."
The Holy Queen Calca nodded in agreement with Quartet's series of analyses.
"Based on the current intelligence analysis, the Ogre Tribe in the Hills area should have been unified. Trading so much food..."
Speaking of this, Quartet's eyes showed worry: "Could that Demi-human who rules the Ogres want to start a war?"
"War? We're not afraid of these guys!" Remedios said coldly.
"No!"
Quartet looked up at her sister: "What I mean is, the other party wants to start a war to rule all the Demi-humans in the Hills area."
Although this possibility was very low, even a little unbelievable, given the current situation, this possibility did exist.
Remedios was puzzled, seemingly not understanding why there was a need to worry about such a thing. It was a good thing for those Demi-humans to fight among themselves.
Only when Demi-humans harm and kill each other will they not pose a threat to humans.
However.
Both Holy Queen Calca and Quartet showed a hint of concern on their faces.
The large-scale collection of food, trading with humans in a way that differed from the wisdom and problem-solving skills of normal Demi-humans.
From this series of events, both of them could vaguely feel a certain confidence coming from deep within the Hills.
The air was slightly quiet.
"We must first determine what exactly happened in the Hills area." Holy Queen Calca murmured to herself, "Should we send an elite squad to go deep inside?"
