The reason why Tang Sen chose to eat the surgical fruit himself was not largely because of its combat power, but to add more means to himself under the rules of this devil fruit.

For example, you can take out the opponent's heart to threaten others, or you can directly transfer the opponent's mind and replace important people with your own, or even use it to study some laws of space.

On the contrary, combat ability is what Tang Sen values ​​the least.

However, this does not mean that the combat ability conferred by the surgical fruit is weak. Although it is not as immediate as the thunder fruit, in Tang Sen's hands, the ability of this fruit can be used to its advantage.

Dealing with an evil priest is just a small test of his skills.

But the priest obviously didn't understand such things as surgical fruits. In his opinion, Tang Sen's method was even weirder than those nine-ring red-robed wizards. He clearly knew that the other party had indeed used some kind of magic to take out his heart.

, but he was not transformed into some kind of undead creature, and even lived well.

That heart seems to still exist in my empty chest.

Never mess with an unknown spellcaster, especially if you don't know their background and powers.

This motto belonging to adventurers sounded in the priest's mind, but he had no time to regret it. He could only show a humble posture and said, "Follow your wishes, sir, my life belongs to you."

Tang Sen's face was already grim. He casually threw the pastor's heart to Barn and said, "Keep this thing safe. If he does anything dishonest or unpleasant, crush it without hesitation."<

/p>

Baan hurriedly took the heart, with a look of disgust on his face, "Oh, look at this thing, it's still beating, it's really uncomfortable."

"I think I won't mind, or in other words, I'm looking forward to crushing this lively little thing."

The dwarf's words made the priest's face paler. He could feel the dwarf's rough palm holding his heart. He swore that this feeling was more uncomfortable than killing him directly.

There were shouts outside the door, and a rough voice shouted, "Who is fighting on the second floor again? I heard the sound of the windows breaking!"

Tang Sen released his foot from the pastor's face and said flatly, "You know what to do."

"Of course, sir." The pastor put on his hood honestly and stood aside quietly.

Tang Sen turned his head, looked at the window that had been knocked open by the pastor, and pointed his finger.

"Recover as before."

The fragments floated instantly as if they were alive, automatically arranging and combining, and soon the window was restored as if it were new.

The door to the room was pushed open at the right time, and a man on crutches glanced at everyone present with hawk-like eyes.

"Oh, Old Bol, you know the rules. Even you can't interrupt our conversation casually." Maris stepped forward and said with an unhappy look on his face.

"I heard the sound coming from here." Old Bol looked at the window suspiciously, "My ears are never wrong."

He glanced at everyone again, focusing on the pastor for a moment, and then curled his lips, "Forget it, just think I drank too many wheat bars today."

"To express my apology, you can go down and have a few drinks, and I'll treat you to it."

After saying that, he closed the door, turned and left.

"Old Bol is still as smart as ever." Maris muttered, turned around and said, "No one will bother us now."

"I hope so." Tang Sen looked at the priest and said, "Tell me, why did you come to Neverwinter City, and who is the captain you just mentioned?"

"My name is Eric Strong, Pastor of the Five Rings. As you can see, I am a member of the Serre Revival Church." The pastor said in a low voice, "And my captain's name is Pindaro Ga.

Field was once the chief disciple of the Ser Protection School, a powerful nine-ring red-robed mage, and of course, also a lich."

This is not surprising. The vast majority of red-robed mages in the High Circle are lichs. The word "most" is used instead of "all" because it includes some people from the Serre Revival Society - and the natives of Serre are

, has been completely ruled by the undead.

The priest named Strong continued, "Not long ago, Captain Garfield got a piece of information. Sazastan sent his disciple, a nine-ring red-robed mage, lurking in Neverwinter City. They used spells to make Neverwinter

The original lord of the city, Daggett Neverember, fell seriously ill, and a rogue took his place."

"Captain Garfield is convinced that Sazastan is plotting against Neverwinter, trying to turn this place into another undead kingdom. As members of the Cyre Revival, we must prevent Sazastan's power from expanding to the Sword Coast region."<

/p>

"He is hiding somewhere in Neverwinter City at the moment and sent me to inquire about information in the Black Lake District. Of course, I don't mind making some drinking money while inquiring, so I agreed to the rogue's transaction request and then"

Tang Sen squinted his eyes slightly, not paying attention to the regret in the pastor's tone, but paying attention to a key message.

"A protective nine-ring red-robed mage?"

He suddenly remembered the plot about the Scorching Sun Competition in Neverwinter City. A group of adventurers whose level was generally no more than about the third ring, and a poor warlock, were actually able to defeat the powerful nine-ring red-robed mage. This was possible in the entire Faerûn continent.

It can be called a miracle.

You know, any high-level spell from a nine-level mage is enough to wipe out this weak team of adventurers, not to mention that the opponent also uses powerful nine-level spells such as meteor burst and time stop.

"That makes sense."

Tang Sen suddenly realized, "A powerful protective red-robed mage used this group of adventurers to hide in the dark, secretly cast spells to participate in the battle, and defeated the opponent."

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated a bit.

The reason why he planned to leave Neverwinter City before the start of the Burning Sun Tournament in the first place was because this place was too dangerous. He didn't want to bet that a group of crappy adventurers could really stop a nine-ring red-robed mage. If the plot went awry,

Then the city of Neverwinter will turn into a kingdom of the undead, and it will also be in danger.

Tang Sen is really not sure whether Smaug, who has eaten the Thunder Fruit, can fight against the nine-ring wizard of Faerûn who has many tricks.

But now it seems that I don’t need to worry about this.

A protective nine-ring red-robed mage that has existed since the Serre Civil War is enough to protect the entire city of Neverwinter - although the other party does not care whether Neverwinter suffers heavy casualties at all, it is just to stop Sazastan's plan.

"If that's the case——"

Tang Sen's thoughts began to spin rapidly.

"I seem to have a chance to get something out of the fire."
