As for how Her Majesty the Queen wanted to deal with her funeral, Fang Zheng was too lazy to care. After throwing the pile of junk to her, Fang Zheng patted his butt and left.
After all, for him, killing a mere king was just a piece of cake, and the most important thing was to fight the wave. So after leaving the royal city, Fang Zheng waved his hand to summon the wizard's mansion, brought everyone in, and then held a meeting in the living room.
"Okay, let's review the current intelligence."
Fang Zheng pressed the button on his personal terminal, and soon, a picture appeared in front of everyone.
"The information we have now is this: When the wave will come, only the Dragon Hourglass can give the exact time, and the arrival time of the wave is random. When the wave comes, monsters will fall from the sky... You all know this, right?"
Hearing this, Raphtalia, Lifana, Filo, Shana and others all nodded.
"Then there are a few issues that need to be dealt with."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng extended a finger.
"First, why can the Dragon-carved Hourglass accurately predict the arrival of a wave? Of course, it's not impossible to predict it on a certain day, but to be accurate to every minute and every second... is a little too incredible."
Hearing this, everyone frowned and started thinking, but... it was obvious that they had no clue.
"Second, where did the monsters in the wave come from?"
Fang Zheng extended another finger.
"Based on the two previous battles, these monsters are obviously not native to this world. And their actions clearly seem to be in order. According to the previous two waves, a boss will appear in each wave, and only when the boss is killed will the wave disappear. So there must be some connection between these monsters and the waves."
"Third, regarding the system of the Four Holy Warriors."
Fang Zheng extended his third finger again.
"According to the previous statement of the owner of the Adeptus, there are many other worlds besides this one, but it seems that every world has Adeptus and the Four Saints. In other words, the countless worlds here may have different cultures, civilizations, and languages, but they all use the same system."
"So Master, are those heroes from another world also our companions? After all, our enemies are all waves."
Hearing this, Lifana raised her hand and asked curiously, while Fang Zheng shook his head.
"It's hard to say. You've heard what those people said. The wave is a phenomenon that occurs when two different worlds approach each other and collide. In the end, only one of the two worlds can survive, and the other world will be completely destroyed. In other words, if you want to eliminate the wave from the source, the best way is to prevent these worlds from getting close to each other. Since the other party was able to create the Four Saints Warriors system, it should not be a difficult task. But it didn't do so. Either there is a hidden secret that we don't know, or all of this was planned by the creator of the Four Saints Warriors system himself."
“How could it be…!”
Hearing this, Homura Akemi and Shana did not react, while Lifana and Raphtalia were stunned. You know, the Four Saints have always been regarded as the guardians of this world, but now Fang Zheng told them that the person who created the Four Saints System is likely the mastermind behind all this?
"Tsk, what's so strange about this? Those guys who pretend to be mysterious are the least trustworthy."
Xingzi curled her lips and snorted. If anyone among these people was the most skeptical, it would be Xingzi.
After all, she has had personal experience.
"But at the moment, our intelligence is not sufficient, so what we have to do next is to investigate."
Fang Zheng clapped his hands and then displayed a map.
"Humura, Kyoko, Shana, you will go from the east, west, and south to investigate and level up. Remember, look for some legends about the Four Sacred Warriors. It would be best if you could find some living old monsters, as they should know more about the Four Sacred Warriors and the situation in this world. I will stay here to investigate the relationship between the Dragon-carved Hourglass and the Waves..."
At this point, Fang Zheng's mouth curled up slightly. If what he guessed was correct, and the Dragon-carved Hourglass was somehow related to the wave, then it would be much easier to deal with it. He could directly summon the little angel and solve this problem directly from the information level.
"You are not children anymore, so I don't need to tell you what to do. But remember, the high-ranking officials in this world are basically idiots. If they don't come to trouble you, it's fine. If they do, just kill them. Remember, Tiandao Palace is your backer, don't be afraid of causing trouble. Who are we afraid of in Tiandao Palace?!"
"clear!"
Hearing this, Anzi snapped her fingers with a smile, while Homura Akemi nodded silently. Only Shana frowned slightly, obviously not agreeing with it, but she didn't say much.
After the tasks were assigned, the three of them set off immediately, each finding a way to do their own things.
Fang Zheng was not worried about their safety. Shana was a qualified fire mist warrior, and Xingzi and Xiaoyan were both experienced in magical girls, so there was no way they could make mistakes. As for him, he went up along the north, leveling up while looking for clues.
As for the Dragon-carved Hourglass, Fang Zheng had taken the time to go there once before, but was surprised to find that the Dragon-carved Hourglass was not activated. For some reason, the entire hourglass's timing system seemed to be disconnected. In desperation, Fang Zheng had to temporarily give up invading the hourglass system and continue to level up instead.
After all, when you reach level 60, you can unlock the characteristics of the Star-Forging Dragon King's Soul Fragment, and he is still waiting to see.
By the way, Raphtalia and Lifana also successfully advanced after returning. Raphtalia was promoted to Swordsman - unfortunately, the strength points were still not enough to inherit the Wolf Sword Technique.
Lifana was promoted to an assassin, a profession similar to the shadow dancer in the main world, with the ability to move freely in the shadows and see in the dark.
As for Filo… this little fat bird hasn’t reached level 40 yet, so there’s no need to rush.
The other three people also quickly passed their information back to Fang Zheng.
The one who acted the fastest was Homura Akemi who went to the south. According to her, she discovered the remains of a spiritual beast that was once sealed by the Four Holy Warriors in a small country there. There were legends about waves in the remains, but she still needed to conduct further investigation to get the correct information.
As for Xingzi who went to the north, she also sent back news, but the news she sent back was related to Philo. According to Xingzi, when she was fighting guerrilla warfare in the north, she met an incredibly large Philo bird. The other party said that she was the queen of the Philo birds and was looking for the next queen successor, and Philo was her designated successor.
Not only that, according to the Filo Bird Queen, she was raised by the previous generation of the Shield Hero, and was very clear about the last wave and what happened. So Fang Zheng also made up his mind to take Filo and the others to meet Xingzi first, and then see if he could get any useful information from the Filo Bird Queen.
As for Shana who went to the west, she was the slowest to send back information, but the information she sent back was the most explosive!
She killed the King of Hobre!
Hearing this, Fang Zheng, Anzi and Homura Akemi were all stunned.
"You are really capable..."
After coming to this world for so many days, Anzi and Homura have also gained a certain degree of understanding of the political situation in this world, and know that Hobre is the largest country in the world. Not only that, this country also has a series of products of the Industrial Revolution such as muskets and airplanes, and is already a country with relatively advanced science and technology.
However, Shana cut down their king!
"I don't want to either!"
Hearing Xingzi's sigh, Shana was embarrassed. She was dissatisfied with Fang Zheng's behavior before, but now she was even more cruel than Fang Zheng. You have to know that the Megamar XXXII killed by Fang Zheng was at most the king of a medium-sized country. In the real world, it was no different from killing the president of Ukraine or the prime minister of Belgium. There was definitely an impact, but it was not very big.
But what Shana did was equivalent to going directly to the White House and chopping off the orange-haired monster!
This is a completely different concept.
"I hadn't planned on doing that, but who knows..."
Shana made a bitter face and complained about the whole thing to the other people.
At the beginning, Shana's choice was correct. After all, Hobre adhered to the teachings of the Four Saints, so she planned to go to Hobre to see if she could find some legends or records about the Four Saints. For this reason, Shana also placed the king of Hobre, and after revealing her identity as the Sword Warrior, Shana was naturally invited to enter the palace by the other party.
But what Shana didn't expect was that the person in the palace was not the original king of Hobre, but a prince - he killed his father and seized the throne!
And his identity is actually the Whip Warrior, one of the Seven Star Warriors!
That would be fine. Shana didn't want to meddle in other people's family affairs, but what she didn't expect was that the prince actually talked nonsense to her and wanted her to become his concubine. After Shana refused, the other party actually tried to snatch her holy sword! ?
Are you kidding? If the tiger doesn’t show its power, do you think I’m a sick cat?
Shana's situation was the same as Fang Zheng's. Her level was only that of a holy sword, and her own attribute points were also skyrocketing. The so-called Whip Hero didn't even have time to resist before he was burned to ashes by Shana's fire of existence.
So here comes the problem.
The Fire of Existence is different from the First Fire. After the First Fire burns out, it will turn into firewood. But the things burned out by the Fire of Existence will disappear directly, and their existence will be completely wiped out.
After Shana chopped down the idiot hero, she realized that something was wrong. In order to avoid any accidents, she hurriedly used the fragments of the other party's power of existence to bring them in.
In fact, just like how Shana initially used the power of existence of the people eaten by the Red World to disguise her identity, now in the eyes of the Hobre people, she has replaced the prince and become the new king.
“Isn’t this wonderful?”
Hearing this, Xingzi couldn't help but gloat over the misfortune.
"Isn't it interesting that I became the queen of the world's largest country without any effort?"
"This is not interesting at all! What should I do now?!"
Shana was almost going crazy. She had no interest in the position of king at all!
"In short, you should first investigate the information about the Four Holy Warriors in Hobre."
Fang Zheng also gave Shana an order while holding back his laughter.
"Hobre should have a lot of information on this. Gather all of it for me. After you're done with all of this, find a chance to hand Hobre over to Queen Mirelia as a little compensation for killing her husband."
Fang Zheng did not take Hobre seriously. Even if it was the largest country in the world, it was of no value to Fang Zheng.
"Master, there is one more thing."
At this moment, Homura Akemi, who had been silent on the screen, spoke.
"What's up?"
"It's like this. When I was investigating the remains of the Four Holy Heroes in this western country, I discovered a slave auction site. There were many... demihumans like Raphtalia and Lifana."
“…”
After hearing Homura Akemi's report, Fang Zheng was silent for a moment.
"I leave it to you. Make your own decision."
"Yes, Master."
