The reason why Tang Sen chose to eat the Surgical Fruit himself was largely not because of its combat power, but because he was able to add more means to himself under the rules of this Devil Fruit.

For example, taking out the other person's heart to threaten others, or directly transferring the other person's heart to replace the person in the important position with one's own, or even studying some spatial laws in this way.

Combat ability, on the contrary, is the least important point for Townessen.

However, this does not mean that the combat ability given by the Surgical Fruit is weak, although it is not as immediate as the Thunder Fruit, but in Tang Sen's hands, the ability of this fruit can be played out.

Dealing with an evil god priest is just a small test.

But the priest obviously didn't know about the fruit of surgery, in his opinion, Tang Sen's methods were even more weird than those nine-ring red-robed mages, and he clearly knew that the other party did take out his heart with some kind of spell, but he was not transformed into some kind of undead creature, or even lived well.

It was as if the heart still existed in his empty chest.

Never mess with an unknown spellcaster, especially if you don't figure out the background and powers of the other person.

The priest's mind resounded with this adage for adventurers, but he had no time to regret it, so he could only show as humble a gesture as possible, and said, "Follow your wishes, sir, my life belongs to you." ”

Townsen's face was already grim, and he casually threw the priest's heart to Barnes, saying, "Take care of this thing, and if he has any dishonest or unpleasant behavior, don't hesitate to crush it." ”

Barn scrambled to take the heart, a look of disgust on his face, "Oh, look at this thing, it's still beating. It's uncomfortable. ”

"I don't think, or rather, I'm looking forward to crushing this bounty straight to pieces."

The dwarf's words made the priest's face even pale, and he could feel the dwarf's rough hand grasping his heart, and he swore that it was more uncomfortable than killing him directly.

There were already shouts outside the door, and a rough voice shouted, "Who is fighting on the second floor again?" I hear the windows cracking! ”

Townsend let go of the foot that had stepped on the priest's face, and said flatly, "You know what to do. ”

"Of course, sir." The priest honestly put on his hood and stood aside in a low-key manner.

Townsend turned his head and looked at the window that had been knocked open by the priest, and pointed a finger.

"Back to normal."

The fragments instantly floated as if they were alive, and soon the windows were restored as if they were new.

The door to the room was pushed open just in time, and a man on crutches scanned everyone present with a falcon-like look.

"Oh, old Pol, you know the rules, even you can't just disturb our conversation." Maris stepped forward and said with a look of displeasure.

"I heard a sound coming from here." Old Pol looked at the window suspiciously: "My ears are never wrong. ”

He glanced at everyone again, focusing on the priest for a moment, then pouted, "Forget it, just because I drank too much McBar today." ”

"As an apology, you can go down and have a few drinks, count me in."

With that, he closed the door and turned to leave.

"Old Bol is as clever as ever." Maris muttered, turned around, and said, "Now, no one will bother us." ”

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

"My name is Eric Strong, Pastor of the Five Rings, and as you can see, a member of the Serre Revival Church." The priest whispered, "And my captain, named Pindaro Garfield, was once the chief disciple of the Serre Protection School, a powerful red-robed mage of the Nine Rings, and of course, a lich. ”

This is not surprising, the vast majority of the red-robed mages in the high ring are lichs, and the use of the word most instead of all is due to the inclusion of some of the Serre Revival Order, whose homeland has been completely ruled by the undead.

The priest named Strong continued, "Not long ago, Captain Garfield received information that Sazastan had sent his disciple, a red-robed mage of the Nine Rings, to lurk in Neverwinter, and they used a spell to make Dagit Ember, the original lord of Neverwinter, terminally ill, and let a wanderer take his place. ”

"Captain Garfield is convinced that Sazastan is plotting to turn Neverwinter into another Necro Realm, and as members of the Serre Revival Society, we must stop Sazastan's power from expanding into the Sword Bay region."

"He's hiding somewhere in Neverwinter at this time, sending me to find out in the Black Lake Of course, I don't mind making some money for drinks while inquiring, so I agreed to the wanderer's request for a trade and then settled."

Townsend narrowed his eyes slightly, not caring about the remorse in the priest's tone, but focusing on a key message.

"A red-robed mage of the Nine Rings of the Protective Department?"

He suddenly remembered the plot about the Scorching Sun Contest in Neverwinter, a group of adventurers whose level was generally no more than about three rings, and a crappy warlock, were able to defeat the powerful red-robed mage of the Nine Rings, which could be called a miracle in the entire Faren Continent.

You must know that a single high-ring spell by the nine-ring mage is enough to wipe out this weak adventurer team, not to mention, the other party also uses powerful nine-ring spells such as meteor burst and time stop.

"That makes sense."

Tang Sen suddenly thought in his heart: "A powerful red-robed mage with the help of this group of adventurers hid in the shadows, secretly cast spells to participate in the battle, and defeated the other party. ”

His heart beat a little faster.

The reason he planned to leave Neverwinter before the start of the Scorching Sun Contest was because it was too dangerous, and he didn't want to gamble that a group of crappy adventurers could really stop a nine-ring red-robed mage, and if the plot went wrong, then Neverwinter would turn into a realm of necromancy, and he would be in danger.

Whether Smaug, who had eaten the Thunder Fruit, could fight against the Feron Nine Ring Mages who had many means, Tang Sen really didn't know the bottom in his heart.

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

A red-robed mage with the Nine Rings of Protection, which had existed since the time of the Serre Civil War, was enough to keep the entire Neverwinter - although the other party didn't care if the Neverwinter suffered heavy casualties, just to stop Sazastan's plan.

"If that's the case—"

Townsen's thoughts swirled quickly.

"I seem to have a chance to take advantage of the fire."
