Chapter 23: Successor of the Vatican Knights



Late at night, Zhang Yuanqing was awakened by a shrill ringtone. He took out the mobile phone from under his pillow and saw that the caller was Fu Qingyang.

He perked up and answered the phone immediately: "Boss, is there any result?"

"No."

Fu Qingyang's answer disappointed him for a while, and then he heard the boss change the subject, "But there is a clue. I need your cooperation to deliver the copper block to the White Tiger Gang warehouse. I have an idea that needs to be verified."

"Wait a moment!" While listening to the phone, Zhang Yuanqing opened the inventory, took out Little Red Riding Hood, then opened the gang warehouse and applied for storage.

The next second, the application was approved, and Little Red Hat entered the White Tiger Guard’s gang warehouse.

The next second Little Red Riding Hood disappeared in the warehouse.

"Wait for my news..." Fu Qingyang hung up the phone.

Beijing Museum.

In the lounge, Fu Qingyang was holding Little Red Riding Hood, and a figure fell out of the hat. He was wearing light-colored jeans, a white T-shirt, with a delicate and pretty face and charming red eyes.

It was Princess Yin Yao.

After being stuck in Little Red Riding Hood for more than a week, Princess Yin Yao raised her trumpet in surprise: "Yuan Shi Tian Zun let me hang out with you!"

Fu Qingyang said in a deep voice, "Hand over the things."

Princess Yin Yao pretended to look around at the scenery. Fu Qingyang's face twitched and he said in a deep voice: "I will tell Yuanshi to let you out for walks regularly in the future."

"It's a deal." Princess Yin Yao quickly took out a fan-shaped bronze block from her pocket and threw it on the table.

Fu Qingyang flicked his hat and put it away. This corpse of Yuanshi was born into a family of evildoers and learned the cunning and scoundrel nature of his master.

A dignified princess, well-educated and well-mannered, was eaten by a dog.

He put his hat back into his inventory and looked at the copper block, concentrating on the shrimp-shaped runes on its surface.

"This is the sealing spell of the Eternal Night profession, so it is impossible to find it through divination, fortune-telling, and deduction." Fu Qingyang stared directly at those dizzying spells with a calm expression as if he had expected it.

The Eternal Night profession is the best at sealing among all the professions. Sealing and sleeping are the core abilities of the Eternal Night.

Since it's a seal, it's easy to deal with.

Fu Qingyang grabbed the copper block and threw it gently into the air. As the copper block turned over, he grabbed the Jade Dragon Sword. The sword flashed, and a sharp sound of piercing gold and splitting stone was heard in the air. The copper block that was cut burst out with dazzling light, and the spells on it lit up one by one, and then disappeared.

The copper block fell to the ground, the inscriptions on the vessel disappeared, and were replaced by gorgeous relief patterns.

Fu Qingyang picked up the copper block and held it in his palm and waited for a few seconds, then the item information appeared.

[Name: Holy Plate]

[Type:Key]

[Function: Unblock]

[Introduction: One of the three holy objects of the Vatican, the key to the Vatican's treasury, managed by successive popes. All wealth and secrets will be opened by it. After the death of the last pope, the holy disk was sealed.

[Note: The sealed fragments of the holy disk will sense each other.

Mutual induction? Fu Qingyang brought the fan-shaped copper block in front of the Zhou Ji Phoenix Bird Zun, and the 50-centimeter-tall bronze phoenix sculpture suddenly vibrated.

The fan-shaped copper block in Fu Qingyang's hand also trembled continuously.

"Sure enough, it is inside the bronze ware. It is not cast inside the bronze ware but sealed inside the bronze ware." Fu Qingyang frowned.

Obviously, the second copper block was sealed in the bronze vessel. To remove the copper block, Fu Qing had only two ways: one was to use the corresponding skills and spells to remove the seal. The other was to break it violently.

But this will inevitably destroy this cultural relic. Although Fu Qingyang does not care about the so-called cultural relics, he knows what cultural relics symbolize to a country and a nation.

After thinking for a few seconds, Fu Qingyang stood up with the sword in his hand, danced a few times, found a good feel, and switched to other professions. Others could only destroy bronze artifacts or seek help from the Eternal Night profession, but Fu Qingyang felt that he could try to break the seal without destroying the cultural relics.

This requires extremely precise swordsmanship and extremely powerful control.

Most swordsmen, even Yanshi, do not have this ability, but Fu Qingyang can, because he has practiced the repetitive and monotonous sword moves too many times.

Fu Qingyang took a deep breath, took a bow step, lowered his waist, and stepped down. With a clanging sound, the sword flashed.

The fleeting sword light almost cut through the bronze object, seeming to have hit it, but also seeming to have missed it.

But after the sword flashed, the bronze object stopped vibrating, and a little bit of light escaped, then gathered and turned into a large fan-shaped copper block.

“Two pieces left!”

Fu Qingyang put away the two fan-shaped copper blocks.

New Testament County.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Yuanqing's cell phone dinged. He stood up to check the message and looked delighted.

"Boss, have you found the second piece? You are indeed a master-level scout, and your efficiency is really high. Holy disk? One of the three holy objects, uh, is one of them the Holy Grail?"

"So the Holy Plate is the key to the Vatican's treasures, and the copper block is not passed down by ancient practitioners, but is sealed?"

Zhang Yuanqing took out Little Red Riding Hood and shook out two copper blocks. While reading Fu Qingyang's message, he checked the properties of the items.

Tsk, I hate things like this where you have to collect keys, wouldn’t it be better to just give the treasure directly?

Zhang Yuanqing stared at the copper block and thought: "In this way, the Hunter Guild's mission is completed. His face suddenly changed. No, if I tell the Hunter Guild that I have a key, Catherine will definitely take one. Otherwise, they are fools. The keys will attract each other. As long as they take one, the other three will be in danger."

"But don't give the keyhole to the Hunter's Guild.

I won’t be able to infiltrate the inner circle, obtain intelligence about the enemy, or eliminate the big guys who have infiltrated the Orderly Organization.”

Zhang Yuanqing frowned, feeling torn.

"Why don't we ask the boss for his advice? No, we can't rely too much on him. It's not difficult. I've thought of a quick way."

Zhang Yuanqing's method was to collect three or even four keys within the fifteen-day deadline, and then open the church's treasure and empty it out first.

This is too ideal. It would be best to collect all three keys, then find one more, and then find the last one with the Hunter's Guild.

In this way, the Hunter Guild will never be able to collect all the keys. During this period, Zhang Yuanqing will do a lot of things, and maybe he can find out the Fallen who is lurking in the Orderly Organization.

Only one day has passed and it’s still early. I’ll go to bed first and then hold an online gathering for the Return of the Dead tomorrow to sort things out.

Zhang Yuanqing covered himself with the quilt and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning.

After Zhang Yuanqing got up, washed up, and had breakfast with Annie, he walked her downstairs.

A black business car was already waiting outside the building.

After watching Annie leave in the car, Zhang Yuanqing returned to the fourth floor and soon heard the doorbell.

Outside the door was the pretty, tall, serious and proper girl next door, Cao Qianxiu.

"Our team has an operation today. Do you want to join?" Cao Qianxiu said with expectation: "It's the Starry Sky Covenant Organization. They have recently started selling in the Chinatown area under the jurisdiction of Group 6. They are also selling white flour in our school. We have joined forces with the Sky Punishment Action Team. This Guan Ci is going to get serious."

After she finished speaking, she realized that Zhang Qingyang didn't know about the "Star Contract" and hurriedly explained, "They are the riders who kicked Cao Chao that day. They are peripheral members of the Star Contract, a group of campus thugs."

"Is this a gang formed by spiritual realm travelers?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.

"Yes! This organization not only sells noodles, but also engages in the sex trade. In addition, they are racist."

We are all racists, I won’t say it, Zhang Yuanqing asked, “How do you say it?”

Cao Qianxiu said bitterly, "The boss of Star Contract hates us very much. He sells flour in Chinatown, lends money at high interest rates, runs a casino, and forces women who can't pay back their debts to sell themselves. If it's a man, he forces the women in his family to sell themselves to pay off his debts."

"However, there are no saints in the Starry Sky Covenant. The reason they have survived until now is because their boss has connections within the Heavenly Punishment. However, this time the Heavenly Punishment is going to purge the pests within the organization, and it is serious about it."

Zhang Yuanqing asked a few more questions, and then rejected Cao Qianxiu in front of her expectant gaze.

The girl next door's face instantly fell, and she walked away unhappy. If you don't want to go, why are you asking so many questions?

At 10:30 in the morning, Zhang Yuanqing took a taxi to the townhouse community in Chinatown and rang Deng Jingguo's doorbell.

Next, he would use the excuse of locking onto Tongtian Jiaozhu and discovering what he was looking for as an excuse to extract more and more private information from Huo Zhengkui from Deng Jingguo.

The bell rang for a moment and then the maid came in.

"The boss is meeting a guest!" the maid explained and led him inside.

As soon as Zhang Yuanqing entered the living room, he saw Deng Jingguo receiving guests in the reception area. The guest was about thirty years old, wearing a black mink coat, and had quite handsome features.

His sturdy but not bulky body and smooth muscle lines make him look like a nimble leopard.

It's hard to describe his temperament, but at first glance he seems fair and serious, but if you look closely you'll find that this guy has a raised mouth and slightly curved eyes, revealing a hint of cynicism.

Seeing Zhang Yuanqing come in, the guest looked at him sideways and instinctively curled up the corners of his mouth.

Deng Jingguo took the initiative to greet him, "You came at the right time. This guest claims to be the sixth-generation inheritor of the Knights of the Holy See. He came here to inquire about the Pope's relics."

The successor of the Vatican Knights? Six generations of a single lineage? How come a group of blond-haired, blue-eyed, white-skinned people turned into black-haired, yellow-skinned guys?

Zhang Yuanqing complained in his heart, not believing it at all, and directly marked this guy, most likely he was sent by the Hunter Guild.

"Hello, Xiaoyao Sword Immortal!" Zhang Yuanqing displayed the indifference that was unique to a scout.

"Xiaoyao Sword Immortal?" The guy who claimed to be the sixth generation of the Knights' family had bright eyes and said, "What a good name, what a good name. Hello, my Spirit Realm ID is Zhai Cai."
