To be honest, Fang Zheng really didn't want to go out.

I don't want to go out at all.

I really don't want to go out.

You can tell from the way he keeps talking for several chapters that he is a nerd. If he can pick up girls at home, why would he go out and die?

But he couldn't not go. After all, this was an invitation from the Pope himself. Unless Fang Zheng was planning to break up with the Temple, he had to show up this time. Fang Zheng couldn't just give up because "I had a feeling something might go wrong this time"...

But Fang Zheng was mentally prepared for this. He was now a powerful figure. In a bigger sense, he was a president or prime minister. When these people went out, they took special planes and cars and were followed by bodyguards everywhere, fearing that someone would accidentally shoot them in the back of the head.

Fang Zheng felt mentally balanced immediately after thinking about this. As the saying goes, there is gain and loss. The higher he stands, the higher the danger. Isn't the president also afraid of being shot?

If you were in an online novel, even if you were a restaurant owner, you might be hired to kill someone. After all, I am a leader now, so it's not a loss.

Of course, Fang Zheng still had to do what he had to do after complaining about it. After receiving the invitation, Fang Zheng immediately notified Hecate, Tilia, Nymph, Iona and Musashi to gather for a meeting. Although they didn't know what Fang Zheng wanted to talk to them about, the girls still rushed to Fang Zheng's study at the appointed time. Then, Fang Zheng also told them the news that he had received the invitation, and everyone finally understood.

"So... Brother, are you going to attend the banquet held in the temple?"

"That's right."

Hearing Tilia's question, Fang Zheng nodded, then he looked at Iona and Musashi who were standing next to him.

"Iona, you and Rodney get ready and come with me. Musashi, after I leave Tiandao Palace, Tiandao Palace will immediately enter a closed state and no one will be allowed to enter or leave. If anyone dares to enter without permission, they can be killed directly if the warning is ineffective."

"Yes, father."

Musashi, who had his eyes closed, opened his eyes slightly and nodded when he heard Fang Zheng's order. Iona also looked at Fang Zheng in surprise, but said nothing. Fang Zheng did not explain anything more to Iona, but quickly looked at the other three people.

"Hecate, you come with me this time. Nymph, you and Tilia stay in Tiandao Palace. If anything happens to me, Nymph will be my agent and you will make the final decision on all matters in Tiandao Palace. Tilia, you will be responsible for assisting Nymph. Also, find a reason to transfer all the girls currently in the North back to Tiandao Palace. Just keep a few girls in the base there as a show."

"Brother, will you be in danger?"

Hearing this, Tilia's face suddenly changed slightly, and then she looked at Fang Zheng anxiously and asked. Needless to say, she and Fang Zheng had a close relationship, and both sides knew each other quite well. If this was just an ordinary banquet, Fang Zheng should not bring only Hecate. According to his usual practice, if no one else was mentioned, he would definitely bring the cursed children such as Bushicui and Xia Shi to see the world together.

But this time, not only did Fang Zheng not take those children with him, even she and sister Nymph had to stay in Tiandao Palace, and he only took Hecate. Although Tilia was not very fond of this little girl who played with stars, she had to admit that Hecate was the strongest among all of them. Considering that Fang Zheng was only taking Iona, Rodney and Hecate with him this time...

Two battleships and a great sorcerer, it looks like they are going to fight...

"It's hard to say. I'm worried that there might be danger..."

Fang Zheng himself was not sure. To be honest, the reason why he made this arrangement was because of the feeling he had when he received the invitation letter. After that, Fang Zheng even cast a prophecy spell to make a prediction, but what made him panic was that the result of the prophecy spell was... no result.

The prophecy magic in the main world is not like the one in the urban online novels that Fang Zheng read. There is no rule that a fortune teller cannot tell your own fortune. After all, the fortune teller predicts your own life and death. If you can't even tell that you will be in danger, then you are not skilled enough. Go home and wait for death.

Fang Zheng's prophecy spell has now been upgraded to level eight, and can be upgraded to level nine after using [Resonance Power Sound]. However, even so, Fang Zheng still did not predict any useful information. There are two possibilities. One is that he was simply overly nervous and had an illusion. The other is that the opponent's strength was far beyond the range that Fang Zheng could predict, so the opponent was directly immune to this spell.

If it was the former, it would be fine. If it was the latter, it would be really troublesome. So to be on the safe side, Fang Zheng didn't even bring Nymph and Tilia this time. The two were too weak. If they really encountered a tough enemy, Fang Zheng might be fine, but end up getting into trouble while protecting them... There are many such jokes in the game plot. Fang Zheng would not raise this flag!

"Master, are you really going?"

At this time, Nymph was also looking at him eagerly, which made Fang Zheng feel a little soft-hearted, but he still nodded.

"I have no choice but to go. But don't worry, I know my life is valuable and it won't be lost so easily... Of course, if there is danger this time... Well, if something happens to me, don't worry, just trust me!"

Facing the little angel, Fang Zheng thought for a long time and decided to do the opposite. He originally wanted to promise the little angel solemnly, "I will definitely come back safely," but when he thought about it carefully, this was simply the necessary foreplay for suicide, so he changed his words to "Believe me, it's right."

After all, according to the routine, generally speaking, those who thought it was safe in this situation died, while those who were determined to die survived. Whatever I say... forget it, I'll just stop healing.

Fang Zheng was certainly not a fool who was going to die. The banquet was in two days, and Fang Zheng had been hanging around in Tiandao Palace for so long that the cooldown CD of the dungeon teleport would be almost up in one day. This was Fang Zheng's confidence. If the enemy came hard, he had Iona and Rodney blocking in front, and Hecate protecting him. As long as he could distract the enemy, Fang Zheng would definitely turn around and run. Besides, he was the blood of the Time Dragon, and he had the magical skill of Sealing Absolute. He had an Invincible in his hand, and he could also make a Soul Stone as an extra insurance. If he saw that the situation was not right, he could open the dungeon portal and run away...

With so many countermeasures, Fang Zheng felt that he would not be killed instantly in one go.

Besides, the banquet was held in the Holy City, the capital of the Holy Kingdom, and in the Hall of Order where the Pope lived. Who would be so bold as to attack me in front of the Pope? Hmm... How about I just stay by the Pope's side from beginning to end during this banquet? If something goes wrong, I can have someone to take the blame?

Although it was a bit shameless, Fang Zheng felt that his own life was more important. He had to know that his life did not belong to just him...

"Tilia, I'll leave Cui and the others to you. Don't let them know where I went. If they ask, just say that I went to another world and it might take a long time for me to come back... If it takes me a really long time to come back, then you can tell some of the things to Xia Shi, Cui, and Tina. They are calmer and more likely to accept reality..."

"OK."

Hearing this, Tilia was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I will let Xia Shi and the others take those children back to the dark world first, saying that they need to conduct a large-scale gastrula cleanup. This way...if anything goes wrong..."

"I'll leave it to you."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng smiled at Tilia. Tilia was still cautious. After all, if Fang Zheng really died, no one could say whether the Heavenly Dao Palace would stay here or be destroyed. To be on the safe side, it was better to transfer the cursed children back to the dark world first. Anyway, in the dark world now, the Heavenly Dao Palace has already occupied a piece of land and has become a huge force. Receiving these cursed children will not have much impact on them.

"But, my dear brother, you must return safely..."

As she spoke, Tilia glared at Hecate.

"And you, the star player, you must protect my elder brother this time! If anything really happens to my elder brother, I will settle the score with you even if I return to the Red World!"

Hearing Tilia's "threat", Hecate nodded slightly.

"I will definitely protect the leader."
