For Fang Zheng, killing a small monster when passing by was just a warm-up. After all, Lina Inbas hadn't summoned the Golden Nightmare King yet, so he could only find something to do. In his opinion, it was not a big deal to defeat a lich. For Fang Zheng at the moment, enemies of this level were no longer taken seriously.

But others apparently don't think so.

However, they didn't know what to do.

"…So, are you sure about this?"

"I am sure of that, Princess."

Looking at Princess Lana in front of her, Radice nodded seriously.

"The power of that knight is beyond our imagination. Excuse me, if he wants to, he can even destroy the entire capital in an instant... I don't know what that is. It looks like some kind of world-class item, but... I have never heard of such an item. I can even say that, in my opinion, there is no item in the world that can be compared with it!"

Recalling the beam of light that descended from the sky, Radice couldn't help but tremble and put down the teacup in her hand.

"Your Highness, I don't know what you think, but... I think it's best for us not to become an enemy of that Knight."

"Is that so..."

Looking at Radice's expression, Princess Lana picked up the teacup and silently took a sip of the black tea.

"Is it possible for us to win him over?"

"I can't say for sure. That knight doesn't seem to care much about money and benefits. And if I'm not mistaken, he should belong to a certain force. I'm sorry, but I don't think we have anything to offer him."

Radice shook her head again. Although she didn't understand what Fang Zheng said when he was fighting the lich, she understood a little when Fang Zheng contacted her through his personal terminal. At least Radice knew who Fang Zheng was giving orders to, asking him to activate a world-class item.

Judging from this point alone, Fang Zheng's identity is not ordinary. You know, many countries on this continent have world-class props, but it is not so easy to activate them immediately with just a word from the ruler.

"Is that lich really that powerful?"

"It's very powerful. It can even instantly cast super-level magic!"

"So its identity...?"

"Sorry, we don't have any valuable intelligence."

At this point, Radice was speechless, because Fang Zheng had blown the cemetery upside down, so they didn't find anything useful at all.

"It seems that this continent has been unstable again recently."

Princess Lana sighed as she spoke.

"You know what? We just got the news yesterday that one of the incarnations of the demon king Shabranigud seems to have been resurrected."

"What!?"

Hearing this, Radice could no longer sit still.

"Really?"

"The news is correct. In fact, no one expected that the clone was actually sealed in the eyes of the red wizard Raizo..."

"Red Mage Raizo... I've heard of his name, but I never thought that there was a demon king sealed inside him..."

As she spoke, Radice frowned.

"So, what should we do?"

"No big deal."

"Why?"

Faced with Princess Lana's answer, Radice was stunned.

"That's the Demon King Shabranigud! Princess! Even just one of his clones could destroy the entire world! Have you forgotten what this land became like after the fight against the Demon King hundreds of years ago?"

Of course, Radice did not participate in that battle, but she was a descendant of the Thirteen Heroes and grew up listening to stories about resisting the Demon King Shabranigud. It can be said that Radice had a clearer understanding of the threat of the Demon King than others. As for the lich before... well, she admitted that the other party was indeed very powerful, but it was far from being comparable to the Demon King.

"Of course I won't forget, but Radice, you don't have to be so anxious."

Princess Lana smiled and motioned for Radice to sit down.

"Fortunately, the clone was defeated."

"Defeated? Who?"

"Lina Inbas."

"Lina Inbas..."

Hearing the name, Radice frowned and thought for a moment.

"The Thief Buster? I have heard of her name...but...she defeated the Demon King's clone?"

"At least for now, it is true. The Adventurer's Guild is also reviewing it. If it is confirmed to be correct, she will be promoted to a platinum-level adventurer."

"Platinum... It's been a long time since a platinum-level adventurer appeared."

At this point, Radice was somewhat yearning. As a descendant of the Thirteen Heroes, she naturally longed to become a platinum-level adventurer, but the platinum level was not so easy to get. Of course, Radice's own strength was not enough. Just like the lich this time, if Radice could lead Cang Qiangwei to kill the lich, then she would definitely be able to reach the platinum level.

Although the gap between the lich and the demon king is quite big.

But you can't always expect a demon king to resurrect in this world.

At this time, Fang Zheng also learned through his own channels that Lina Inbas had killed the Demon King Shabranigud's clone. After watching the video sent back, Fang Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

The whole process was not much different from what Fang Zheng remembered. Lina Inbas finally used Heavy Breaking Slash and killed Shabranigud in one fell swoop. For Fang Zheng, this result was enough to satisfy him. It also meant that Pluto Fibrizo would pay attention to her. After that, Lina Inbas would use Heavy Breaking Slash again to summon the Golden Nightmare King... Well, just knowing this was enough for Fang Zheng.

So Fang Zheng left the royal city contentedly, returned to the "Novice Village", found the priestess, and then...

"What the hell is this?"

Looking at the ancient castle built on the cliff, Fang Zheng was completely stunned.

I want you to buy a manor, what does it mean if you buy a castle?

"How is it? Not bad, right?"

The priestess didn't say anything, but just by looking at Huihui who was looking smug beside her, Fang Zheng knew who the culprit was.

"Did you do this? Who told you to buy this!"

Seeing Huihui's smug look, Fang Zheng was so angry that he punched her on the head with a punitive punch.

"Why did you hit me? Don't you think this place is cool and handsome? This is an ancient castle! And it's built in such a beautiful place, and the price is so cheap!!"

"Well... the price is quite cheap..."

The priestess also added timidly at this time, and then the other party began to explain.

According to the priestess, after they came back, they did go to the Adventurer's Guild to ask them to recommend nearby manors, but unfortunately, although the guild helped a lot, most of the manors they introduced were so expensive that the priestess didn't know what to do.

This is like an office worker who saves money every day just to pay off his mortgage for 30 years, and then you ask him which is better, a villa worth 30 million or a sea view house worth 50 million. How should he choose?

Anyway, in the eyes of the priestess...it's all good!

Fang Zheng gave the priestess enough money to buy the most expensive one, but the priestess was used to being poor, Huihui didn't look like a rich person, and Aisi had no interest in money at all. In the end, they took the most common way for the poor, which was to buy the cheapest one with the best cost performance!

So in the end, they chose this castle outside the town.

According to the lady at the counter of the Adventurer's Guild, this castle originally belonged to a noble lord a long time ago, but something happened to the noble lord's family and the castle was abandoned. Of course, there were adventurers who came here to explore, but nothing was left... It was just an ordinary castle.

As for other nobles, they were not willing to buy such a place, always feeling unlucky. And for ordinary rich people, buying such a place was too conspicuous - although merchants were rich, they had no social status, and the castle was far away in the suburbs. Although this place was indeed a very lively place in the past, because it had been abandoned for nearly a hundred years, even if there were no bandits and robbers around, there were still many monsters.

The nobles were unwilling to buy, and the merchants who could afford it were unwilling to spend the money, so this place was left empty. Now for the Adventurer's Guild, as long as they could sell it, they didn't care about anything else.

"...Okay, I understand what you mean..."

Looking at the castle in front of him, Fang Zheng shook his head and had to admit that although this place was a little different from the manor he had imagined, the location was indeed quite good. Although Huihui was a bit immature, she did know how to choose a place. This castle was located on the top of the nearby mountain range, and you could almost see the beautiful scenery all around. There were also lush forests and lakes in front of you, and there was even a river next to it. Although it was not known whether it was artificially dug or formed naturally, at least the scenery here was indeed quite good.

The biggest disadvantage is probably that it is relatively far from towns and its safety cannot be guaranteed.

Of course, this is not a problem for Fang Zheng.

"Okay... I understand. Since I've bought it, I've bought it... Then what about Tsuare and the others? You're not going to arrange for them to live in it, are you?"

Although it is an ancient castle, it is a century-old thing, and its function of sheltering from wind and rain is still questionable. Don't be fooled by its intact appearance. If you step on it, you don't know where it will collapse. In addition, there are usually many snakes, rats, mosquitoes and other things in such places. It would be a suffering for Qi Yalei and others to live here.

"Um... I temporarily put Tsuare and the others in the hotel."

"Well, that's more like it... By the way, what about Maine? How is she?"

At this point, Fang Zheng couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly. As a fellow time traveler, he also wanted to see how Main convinced his parents.

"this……"

What Fang Zheng didn't expect was that when faced with this question, the priestess showed an embarrassed expression.

"I'm very sorry, Sir Knight, we couldn't find Miss Maine."

"Hmm? What's going on?"

"I heard from her parents that Miss Maine seemed to have been taken away by the people in the temple..."

“…Huh?”

Hearing the priestess's answer, Fang Zheng was confused.

"What's going on? Tell me in detail."

"It's like this..."

As she spoke, the priestess repeated to Fang Zheng what she knew. According to her, Maine had gone to the temple to be baptized, but she never came out again. This made Maine's parents very anxious. They sent someone to ask, but in the end they only got a little information from inside the temple, saying that Maine seemed to have been imprisoned because she attacked the temple master. According to what they heard, it seemed that Maine would become a servant in the temple as a punishment...

"Isn't the temple your hometown? You can't do anything about it?"

Fang Zhengke still clearly remembered that the priestess also came from the temple.

"That's not the case, Sir Knight!"

What Fang Zheng didn't expect was that upon hearing his question, the priestess immediately jumped up and explained to him. After listening to the priestess's explanation, Fang Zheng realized that the situations of various sects in this world were different.

Most religious sects have their own churches. For example, the Earth Mother where the priestess is located, and the goddess of luck Eris, all of which have the names of the gods they believe in before their sects.

For example, if a priestess wants to introduce herself to outsiders, she will say that she is a priest from the Church of the Earth Mother, so that everyone knows her identity and beliefs.

But the other kind of temple is political. Rather than being a temple, it is more like a comprehensive religious coordination organization. This is the "Temple". Strictly speaking, it is a bit like a religious management department, which is usually responsible for coordinating and investigating various sects.

This kind of temple exists in every country. The main managers are politicians from various countries, and the temple’s task is to integrate the various religious sects in the country.

So the priestess could do nothing about it. She was just an insignificant priest in the Earth Mother Sect. You couldn't expect her to have any influence on such a political institution.

It’s just like you can’t expect rural teachers to go directly to the Ministry of Education to issue orders.

The priestess had also gone in several times using her identity, but she was not familiar with the situation inside and naturally could not find Maine.

"I see."

After listening to the priestess's explanation of the whole story, Fang Zheng finally understood.

"Leave it to me, I'll see what's going on."
