The woman of Huo Zhengkui!
Zhang Yuanqing cast his gaze towards the painting, staring at the woman in the cheongsam for a few seconds before retracting his gaze and looking at the tabby cat again. "What's her name? And what's the story of this manor?"
The tabby cat leaped onto a round table, its figure lithe and graceful, its physique revealing the agility of a feline apex predator.
"The mistress is called Lu Yueshuang. This manor is where Mr. Huo and the mistress lived. After the mistress and Huo Zhengkui returned to The Way of the Extraordinary, Berendt incorporated the entire manor into the Pan God Labyrinth to commemorate them."
"Old Berendt and Huo Zhengkui had a good relationship." Zhang Yuanqing was intrigued!
He remembered that Zhai Cai had said that old Berendt was once the bodyguard of the President of the Free Federation.
After his death, he inherited the President's relics!
And a large part of the President's relics were funded by Huo Zhengkui!
It seems that old Berendt and Huo Zhengkui had a deep connection!
"Berendt was Huo Zhengkui's student. They were both Lightning Mages. Back then, old Berendt was about your age, just becoming a The Way of the Extraordinary and working as an assistant and bodyguard for Frank, while Frank worked for Mr. Huo." The tabby cat answered every question, very cooperative.
"Berendt was upright, kind, and also a Lightning Mage, so Mr. Huo took him as a student and mentored him for a few years."
There was such a connection. Zhang Yuanqing secretly sensed the tabby cat's emotions, confirming that the other party was not lying.
In addition, he sensed vigilance, hostility, and a hint of anticipation from the tabby cat's emotions!
The tabby cat seemed to be expecting their arrival!
Just as Zhang Yuanqing was about to continue questioning, the tabby cat on the round table raised a front paw and slapped down forcefully.
"Now it's my turn to ask you."
Those light green cat eyes stared at Zhang Yuanqing with a faint glow. "How do you know the Sacred Disc is broken? What organization do you belong to? How did you break into the Pan God Labyrinth? I'm only telling you so much because you're both of Chinese descent! If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you all and use you as fertilizer for Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao!"
Zhang Yuanqing quickly said, "Jojo, you are a Chinese cat, and I am an American. We are fellow countrymen. Don't be impulsive."
The thing is, if the guardian in Room 503 was arranged by old Berendt, then he would consider subduing him by force and seizing the Sacred Disc fragment, but the connection between the Single-line Knight and Huo Zhengkui made Zhang Yuanqing choose to be honest!
And the tabby cat obviously didn't intend to attack, otherwise it wouldn't waste these words.
So he started by saying that Huo Zhengkui's descendants died unexpectedly and the Sacred Disc fragment was snatched, all the way to the fact that the Church's Single-line Knight wanted to recover the fragments to fight against the evil faction!
"That's why we came here. Infiltrating the Pan God Labyrinth is just because old Berendt is too stubborn!" Zhang Yuanqing pointed to Zhai Cai, who was unconscious. "He is the Church's knight. Since you followed Mr. Huo for many years, you should know the relationship between him and the Church's knight successor!"
"He is the successor of the Church Knight?" The tabby cat suddenly became excited, clapping its paws several times.
"Counting from him, it's the fourth generation."
"No, no, it's the sixth generation!" Zhang Yuanqing said, "Six generations of Single-line."
"The lives of these knights are shorter than cats!" The tabby cat said with pity!
But it was in a very good mood after hearing Zhang Yuanqing's words.
"I've been waiting for you for many years. After Mr. Huo and the mistress returned to The Way of the Extraordinary, the responsibility of guarding the Sacred Disc fragment fell on me. I followed the Sacred Disc fragment to Frank's house. After Frank died, I followed it here! Finally, I can be free!"
"It's rare to see a cat that has lived for decades like you..." Zhang Yuanqing immediately understood why it was so expectant: "How many years have you been guarding the Sacred Disc fragment?"
The tabby cat tilted its head and asked, "What year is it now?"
"About 2023!"
"Almost a Jiazi!"
Equivalent to serving sixty years in prison...
Zhang Yuanqing asked doubtfully, "Since Berendt was Mr. Huo's student, why didn't Mr. Huo give the Sacred Disc fragment to him?"
He didn't find it strange before because he didn't know about their relationship!
The tabby cat sighed in a crisp voice, "Mr. Huo said that the Sacred Disc fragment must either be given to the Church's knight or to a Chinese descendant. There is no third option!"
"Uh, I remember Huo Zhengkui's illegitimate son passed the Sacred Disc fragment on to his illegitimate son. Jia Feizhang said something similar." Zhang Yuanqing immediately patted his chest, "Jojo, please bite the Sacred Disc fragment out for me. We are both Chinese descendants and successors of the Church!"
His teammates behind him showed joy. They originally thought there would be a bloody battle in Room 503, but the development of the matter was smoother than they imagined!
The tabby cat scrutinized him a few times, then suddenly leaped off the round table and disappeared into the staircase. About a dozen seconds later, its figure reappeared, holding a recurve bow in its mouth!
"This is a prop left by the mistress." The tabby cat threw the recurve bow on the table and said, "It has Sovereign-grade quality. It is one of Mr. Huo's collections and also a verification method he left for us."
The recurve bow was light brown in color, with a simple and unadorned appearance, and even somewhat crude workmanship! But when the tabby cat raised its paw and tapped it, the recurve bow burst out with a dignified and pure light and automatically floated up!
The tabby cat's crisp voice became low and沉重: "The rule of this house is: No lying."
The recurve bow rippled with bronze light, sweeping across the manor like ripples, establishing an imperceptible rule!
The tabby cat stared at Zhang Yuanqing with a serious voice, "What is your profession?"
Zhang Yuanqing's expression suddenly became awkward, thinking that you should just ask about the Sacred Disc. What does my profession have to do with you?
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, the tabby cat's gaze became sharp and dangerous, and the recurve bow was also drawn, with a pale yellow light condensing into an arrow.
"Night Wanderer," Zhang Yuanqing replied in a low voice.
The tabby cat glanced at the recurve bow. Seeing that it was normal, it nodded in satisfaction and continued to ask, "Have you killed more than 20 ordinary people since you became a The Way of the Extraordinary?"
