Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 172 Like entering a deserted place
The three discussed whether to steal only the knowledge or to take the physical items with them.

Finally, Lu Cang asked a question.

If Rega and Loren go to war, will these churches intervene?

With this question in mind, Lu Cang went to ask Kumironi.

Kumiloni's response was that the Church, when conducting sectarian affairs in a country, also has an obligation to provide assistance to that country in various ways, including but not limited to matters of war.

The Church of Life also sends healing sorcerers to the front lines to treat the wounded.

Other churches will also provide corresponding assistance during wartime.

The specific assistance provided will depend on the church's own decision, but there will be some assistance in any case.

This conclusion was reached...

Ok.

As the chief mage of Loren, it was indeed his duty to weaken the enemy nation's strength.

After that, he asked Cumelloni many questions about the church.

The situation in the church is actually much more complicated than it appears.

Although the same church belongs to the same organization, they can compete with each other when they are located in different regions.

There are also many power struggles within the church.

Not everyone is as fortunate as Cumroni, born into a high position.

Climbing the ranks within the church system requires extensive networking and negotiation.

If the Dark Church of the Kingdom of Riga is robbed.

Unless it's some important sacred relic that's been lost, the responsibility will most likely only be investigated in that specific region.

Other regions will not get involved in this matter.

Since something went missing at the church in Ruijia's area, it's highly likely that Loren's side won't need to go out to help with the search or chasing.

If a church in one region has a problem, it can't be expected that the entire continent will be thrown into chaos.

Yes, we understand the enemy's situation.

Lu Cang then felt more confident in taking action.

We really have to thank Kumiloni, a high-ranking official within the system, for providing the intelligence.

……

The Church of Light - The Forbidden Temple of Light

I revisited the forbidden area of ​​the Church of Light.

They then discovered that the scriptures were all the same... It seems that every Kingdom headquarters of the Church of Light is allocated the same resources.

However, only the classic texts and such are almost identical.

Other things, however, are different.

The silver-white holy spear, located at the very center and protected by hundreds of layers of restrictions, giving it an aura of inviolability, must be the sacred relic.

In addition, there was a sacred white banner, covered in light.

This banner has far fewer restrictions, containing only about thirty nested restrictions.

If a church only stores one sacred object, it means that the banner does not belong to the category of sacred objects.

Leng Qingying picked it up directly...

Leng Qingying had no idea how Lu Cang had managed to break through these seemingly complex layers of restrictions from such a distance.

However, although Leng Qingying didn't understand, she acted very quickly.

The flag was stored directly in the storage space.

Then he took a pair of shoes, a suit of armor filled with light, a large bag of pure and bright crystals, a pure white feather, a pure white lightsaber, and a completely white magic wand.

After taking these items, Leng Qingying's phantom disappeared completely.

Lu Cang simply picked out an item from the shelf in the store, paid for it, and left.

Indeed, they've made a fortune!

Let's go back first and give these things to Iz.

After all, once you've taken the goods, you still need to dispose of them.

It was mainly to protect against fortune tellers.

Finding stolen items is what fortune tellers excel at, and Parly says that fortune tellers themselves have no stance.

As Lu Cang continued his studies, he realized that what Parly said was a complete lie.

Indeed, you really can't just believe the nonsense spouted by fortune tellers.

The lack of a stance is only relevant to those who genuinely aspire to higher levels of expertise in divination.

If the diviner does not intend to continue ascending.

It's okay not to follow the rules of fate too strictly.

However, once you get involved yourself, the results of the divination will not be as accurate or effective as before.

Once engaged in worldly affairs, one subjectively intervenes in one's destiny.

The profession of fortune teller can only ever be a part-time job, not a primary one.

Fortunately, there seems to be only one level 6 diviner on the continent.

There are many ways to block low-level fortune tellers, and Iz can solve this problem.

One was responsible for breaking the restrictions, one for retrieving the goods, and one for selling the stolen goods.

Lu Cang and his gang committed crimes with a precise and clear division of labor.

After giving all the stolen goods he had brought to Iz, Lu Cang took Leng Qingying to the Temple of Fortune.

The Temple of Fortune is predominantly golden in color, accented with touches of emerald green.

This is the temple dedicated to Jacaticto, the god of fortune and harvest. If one were to ask which deity among all the churches has the most followers, it would undoubtedly be Jacaticto, the symbol of good fortune.

I heard that their church has the most generous benefits of all the churches, and the work is also the easiest.

The clergy members within the organization will also receive a certain degree of good fortune.

The church distributes various benefits that are highly correlated with luck and good fortune.

This is also the most popular church among growers.

Unlike Sophia, who is associated with life and growth, the Church of Life lowers the planting conditions for crops and accelerates the growth cycle, enabling the cultivation of more crops that are normally impossible to grow.

Jacaticto, a land of luck and harvest, allows growers to reap greater rewards from each planting.

Unlike other churches.

The forbidden area of ​​the Temple of Fortune was unguarded.

Even the outermost barrier is only a thin layer of barrier that prevents entry.

Unlike other churches, which seem to want to pile up hundreds of layers of restrictions on their doors.

Inside the forbidden hall, there were books and scrolls, as well as some strange little objects.

Rings, pendants, and brightly colored gemstones.

There were no special restrictions on these items; the only thing engraved on the incredibly expensive-looking table was a line of text written in a common language.

"Those who are destined to see it will obtain it."

Oh ~
That means that anything I can take with me belongs to me.

Let's leave the books where they are.

Lu Cang directed Leng Qingying to photocopy the books.

As for the other items, they were all packed up and taken away.

……

After visiting the Lucky Church, I went to the Cold Church.

A church that worships Shanna, the goddess of storage and cold, has a sanctuary that is also extremely cold.

Leng Qingying put on warm clothes to keep the illusion from dissipating.

The phantom will dissipate after taking a certain amount of damage.

Of course, there's basically no loss if the phantom dies; you can just summon a new one immediately.

A longbow exuding a penetrating chill.

There are also many storage items, bracelets, rings...

These storage items have a large capacity, and the items stored inside also have a near-time-freezing preservation effect.

It's really a great product.

There's also a bracelet that can store items, with much more space than my current one.

There are plenty of good things; take everything you like.

As for those items that weren't even as valuable as 6th-tier subterranean level monsters and weren't particularly novel, Lu Cang still left them for them.

The last stop: the Church of Peace.

Pagoda, the symbol of peace and tranquility, is the moon of August.

Lu Cang had already explored their forbidden hall with his senses; there were only five books with white covers, no equipment or weapons.

There are secrets hidden in the five books.

The complete deciphering requires access to all five books.

Leng Qingying went inside.

I made copies of the contents of all five books.

……

Return to the hotel.

In just one afternoon, the crowd had visited all the major churches.

The treasures inside the hotel have piled up like a small mountain.

"The Dark Church's assassination techniques, shadow combat skills, dark magic, the forbidden dark art of the Great Dark Realm of Ignorance, a pair of daggers, the Shadow Clothes, the Darkest Primal Crystal, and the Primal Ink Bone."

"The Boots of Light of the Church of Light, the Mighty Armor of Light, the Banner of Victory, the Staff of Ultimate Light and Purity, the Primal Crystal of Ultimate Light, the Sword of Holy Light, and the Angelic Feathers."

"The forbidden arts of the Cold Church: Icefall, ice magic, professional books on storage, the Perpetually Frozen Extreme Cold Bow, the Piercing Frozen Bone Spear, the Fresh Ice Chef's Knife, cooking recipes for frozen ingredients, and various spatial storage items."

"Various ornaments from the Church of Luck, as well as some rituals that are supposed to bring good luck."

"The Church of Peace's... Peace, Development and Prospect 1-5."

The harvest was quite plentiful.

However, after leaving the Cold Church, the things they brought back gradually became somewhat unclear in meaning.

Especially these ornaments from the Church of Fortune.

Izzy does have some appraisal skills and is quite knowledgeable, but she really couldn't determine what effect these ornaments had.

Or perhaps it was just an ordinary piece of jewelry?

But within the ordinary, it feels not so simple; however, this feeling is purely intuition, and there is no other way to verify it.

As for those books and scrolls, they record certain rituals that might improve one's luck.

It was less of a ritual and more of a prayer.

The book didn't say it would definitely be useful. As for the five books of the Church of Peace, Iz had already read them all.

It's purely an intellectual viewpoint, nothing special.

The most fruitful gains from this trip were the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness.

Then there's the Cold Church.

Iz said, "I've already seen these things. There aren't many taboos that are unreadable. You can all learn them."

"I also investigated and found that Ruijia's forbidden books were stored deep underground in the palace."

“We can dig underground, but we might encounter underground barriers along the way… Lu Cang, can you handle them?”

Lu Cang nodded slightly: "Yes, there won't be any problems."

"Okay, let's get started now."

"It's not too late to study these things after everything has settled down."

After a brief reunion, the three of them arrived at the outskirts of Sel City without much rest.

There is a layer of restrictions on the outermost edge of the city of Sel, which covers the entire city.

This is the city's protective formation.

It will not be triggered under normal circumstances.

Lu Cang's thoughts touched this grand formation, secretly opening a back door for himself, and he also learned how the formation protecting the entire city was set up...

It's a truly complex restriction, a large formation primarily for killing and destruction. It needs to be broken from the inside, and at least a level 6 formation master or a level 6 decryption scholar needs to have the corresponding knowledge to break it.

Arrived in a remote, uninhabited mountain forest outside the city.

The soil and rocks beneath their feet disappeared, instantly forming a hollow. Lu Cang and the others walked into the hollow, and without Izz making any move, the soil in front of them naturally cleared away.

Lu Cang possesses the magic of "Eternal Vision Light".

Leng Qingying has dark vision, and as for Iz, there's no need to worry.

The three of them did not turn on any light source.

As they continue forward, the soil in front is cleared, and the soil behind is automatically filled in.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the palace, there were also restrictions placed underground.

If someone sneaks in from the ground and touches the barrier, it will trigger an alarm. This barrier also has the effect of sealing and killing enemies.

You would never encounter something like this in your daily, orderly life.

But once they start doing something wrong...

Then I discovered that others were protecting me from all sides.

Without mastering complete control over the restrictions, there are far fewer places to explore in this world.

Before long, Lu Cang had already approached the location deep underground where forbidden knowledge was stored.

Speaking of which...

Was the forbidden library that Lotdan showed him really a forbidden library?
Ruijia hid these forbidden locations so deep inside.

Was Loren's forbidden library really only built in a small grove of trees?
Lu Cang usually didn't care about state affairs, so he naturally wouldn't go to see the king or listen to their discussions on politics.

In fact, Lu Cang possessed the ultimate sense talent that allowed him to perceive things without being hindered.

If you really investigate, you could probably uncover many secrets that others don't want people to know.

However... Lu Cang wasn't really interested in the secrets of those ministers.

They are too busy learning all kinds of knowledge, researching magic, and practicing combat skills every day.

Now Ruijia has come.

It seems necessary to thoroughly investigate Loren again upon returning.

They approached Ruijia's forbidden library.

There are soldiers guarding it.

The ancient elevator shaft is located deep within the forbidden area of ​​the palace. Coming down from the elevator shaft leads directly to the entrance of the forbidden library, where two soldiers stand guard. Above the elevator shaft, four soldiers stand guard in four different directions.

Security was extremely tight.

When they got within a kilometer, Iz stopped advancing.

Lu Cang had already lifted the restrictions on the entire forbidden library, even through the rocks and soil.

Leng Qingying's phantom formed directly within the Forbidden Library.

There are a total of 142 books.

It has far fewer banned books than those of Loren.

Leng Qingying's phantom simply raised her hand and put all the books into her storage space.

Swish!
All the books on the bookshelves had been emptied.

The phantom immediately retracted.

The whole process takes less than 3 seconds.

But everything had already been placed in Leng Qingying's storage bag.

What a pity, Leng Qingying.

You didn't choose the rogue class. If you were a rogue, the rogue principles you practiced today might be enough to get you to level 5.

The three exchanged a glance in the darkness and continued their descent underground.

The forbidden book archive has been emptied.

Naturally, they disregarded everything else.

Next up is Ruijia's treasury... The treasury is located on the east side of the palace, guarded by dozens of level 3 heavy soldiers.

Lu Cang and the others went underground and arrived directly below the treasure vault.

The restriction has been quietly broken.

Those above were completely unaware.

Lu Cang and Iz both investigated the area and found no other problems.

Then, Leng Qingying appeared.

A phantom appeared in the center of the treasure vault...

Leng Qingying looked around at the various treasures. Things that could be piled up in the national treasury of a great power should not be anything worthless.

But if it really comes to mind...

But then I felt that many things were of a much lower quality.

The best equipment in the vault was made from a level 6 monarch-level monster, and there was only one of it.

After all, the most powerful dungeons on the continent of Ruilen are probably only level 6 dungeons.

I heard that this happened before Izzy and the others changed jobs.

The last Tier 6 dungeon appeared a hundred years ago. The battle to conquer that dungeon also called for the support of adventurers from other nearby continents, and adventurers from all over the continent paid a bloody price.

This equipment, made from a Tier 6 Monarch-level monster, is probably a relic from that time.

As for why there's only one here?
Lu Cang thought that it was impossible for all the treasures to remain unused in the vault.

These treasures are dazzling.

Each item was sealed before being sent into the treasure vault.

Lu Cang actually broke all the seals?
Leng Qingying raised her hand and withdrew it.

These treasures flowed into the storage bracelet like water, and tons of gold coins were also taken away at the same time.

Iz was experiencing this scene...

One can't help but think that Lotterdan really made a good move.

He truly deserves to be called the chief mage of Loren.

Loren and Rega fought for so long, but they didn't even scratch the surface or cause any serious damage.

Lu Cang made a trip and literally uprooted someone else's foundation.

The national treasury may need a thousand years of accumulation.

Moving everything away takes less than a minute.

Leng Qingying took everything away.

The phantom disappeared as usual.

Without a moment's hesitation or pause, the three fled.

……

"Kumironi!"

At the hotel, Kumironi heard Iz calling.

He raised his ears.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Swish!
Iz appeared before Kumironi with Lu Cang and Leng Qingying.

Kumiloni sighed softly, probably already guessing what had happened, but could only feel helpless.

A similar thing seems to have happened once a year ago.

I don't know if they rescued Ruijia from the monsters or came here to harm her.

"Okay, let's go..."

Iz, along with the three others, quietly disappeared from Sel City.

……

Five days later.

[Kingdom of Loren - Knoroya]

Lu Cang woke up in the morning and took the morning newspaper from the maid.

Mainland News Today: The Royal Treasury of Ruijia Empty, Major Churches' Secret Treasures Stolen!

The Kingdom of Ruijia is offering a reward of 100 million gold coins to find the thief.

"Ruijia Branch - Major Churches Lose Important Treasures, Suspected to be the Work of the Same Person"

Speculation: A Level 7 Thief Has Appeared on the Continent of Ruilen?

……

Lu Cang glanced at the details of each news article.

I took a sip of the black tea that the maid had placed beside me.

They've really become the target of everyone's criticism.

Lothar, I've repaid you for the favor I owed you with the Staff of the Void Ring.

I can say that I have made a contribution to Loren.

Today, Iz should have eliminated all the connections between the items, so there shouldn't be any need to worry about the fortune teller investigating.

Go and see what you've gained!
