The Astonished Crowd, the "Rock" Adventurer Party

Nfirea heard a voice coming from behind and turned around in some confusion.

The four adventurers beside him had noticed Tang Zheng walking over long ago, but they had initially paid him no attention, thinking he was merely passing by them.

They had not expected Tang Zheng to come straight over to them.

All four pairs of eyes fell on Tang Zheng as they examined him.

They had only just accepted the commission. Although attacks on clients were unlikely to occur in the Adventurer's Guild, they still needed to maintain the necessary vigilance.

"Is that you?"

Nfirea looked at Tang Zheng in surprise with his bright blue eyes. He had clearly recognized the person he had encountered on the road earlier.

Black hair was simply too rare. It would have been difficult not to recognize him.

"Thank you for the waterskin." Tang Zheng spoke softly with a smile.

"There's no need to be so polite. I'm just glad I could help."

Nfirea also noticed the waterskin hanging from Tang Zheng's waist and scratched his hair somewhat awkwardly.

Tang Zheng spoke to Nfirea while turning his gaze toward the four adventurers beside him. "Sorry, I overheard your conversation just now. You're heading to E-Rantel, right? I wonder if I could travel with you."

As soon as he said this, everyone froze for a moment.

A hesitant look appeared on Nfirea's face. He himself did not mind, but his grandmother needed to approve of the matter.

As for the other four adventurers, no emotions could be seen on their faces. However, an expressionless face was itself a kind of answer.

Tang Zheng had anticipated this situation long ago. He had noticed earlier that the four-person adventurer party's class composition was somewhat problematic.

"My words just now were indeed rather abrupt."

"But..." Tang Zheng paused, then raised his palm and said softly, "Minor Healing."

A gentle white light emerged from his palm, radiating a warm glow.

The four adventurers, whose faces had been expressionless, all brightened at once. They looked at Tang Zheng in astonishment and surprise.

"A Faith-based Magic Caster?"

One of them even let out a small gasp.

Tang Zheng's sudden use of Healing Magic also drew the attention of many people in the Adventurer's Guild hall.

In Overlord and the New World, classes were generally divided into two major categories: warrior classes and Spellcaster classes.

Warrior classes could be further divided into combat classes, defensive classes, archer classes, thief classes, and so on.

Spellcasters, meanwhile, were divided into four major categories: the Mana-based System, the Faith-based System, the Spirit-based System, and the Other System.

Generally speaking, Spellcasters who possessed healing abilities were considered Faith-based Magic Casters in the eyes of people from the New World.

Being an Adventurer was an extremely dangerous line of work. During a commission, a battle could break out under all kinds of circumstances.

Once injured, even a minor wound could lead to death or even amputation if it was not treated promptly.

That was why, regardless of whether Adventurers had money to spare, they would all carry Healing Potions with them. Although such potions were extremely expensive, they had no other choice.

Of course!

If a party had a Spellcaster capable of using Healing Magic, it was not merely a matter of saving money. It could also greatly increase the party's survival rate.

However, Faith-based Magic Casters were far rarer than Mana-based Magic Casters.

In the game, the various Magic Casters were not particularly different. They all consumed the same magical resource known as MP.

But in the New World, some of the game's background settings had become reality. Just as Martial Arts required the consumption of Focus, Faith-based Magic Casters operated under similar conditions.

Therefore, whenever a Faith-based Magic Caster appeared, powerful Adventurer parties would invite them to join. Some weaker parties did not even have the qualifications to extend an invitation.

Tang Zheng seemed not to notice the delighted looks of the four Adventurers. After casting the spell, he casually drew the short sword hanging from his waist.

"I've also mastered a certain amount of swordsmanship, so I won't hold everyone back."

As Tang Zheng spoke, the fingers gripping the short sword moved.

The short sword flipped nimbly around his palm, turning over once. It looked as though he had undergone specialized training.

In reality, before watching the Royal Tournament, Tang Zheng's handling of a short sword had been extremely clumsy.

After all, he had never practiced in his previous life.

However, after obtaining the Sword Saint class, Tang Zheng gained an indescribable familiarity with bladed weapons, as though he had trained with them for a long time.

Everyone present saw the short sword's practiced movements and understood that Tang Zheng had also mastered a certain level of combat skill.

After finishing all this, Tang Zheng deftly sheathed the short sword at his waist again before looking toward Nfirea and the others.

In particular, when he noticed the delighted and satisfied looks of the four Adventurers, Tang Zheng let out a huge sigh of relief inwardly. It looks like there won't be any problem with the Adventurer party.

"That's amazing!"

Nfirea could not help widening his eyes. Looking at Tang Zheng with his bright blue eyes, he spoke in amazement.

He had never expected that the person he had casually helped would turn out to be a Faith-based Magic Caster capable of using Healing Magic.

And he even seemed to have mastered impressive swordsmanship!

Is this what a genius is?

Judging solely from Tang Zheng's clothing and appearance, it was truly impossible to imagine.

Grandmother had indeed been right.

Just like medicinal herbs, one could not judge them solely by their outward appearance.

At that moment, the captain of the four-person Adventurer party, a blond man, walked over.

The blond man appeared to be only twenty-four or twenty-five years old. He had slightly curled whiskers around his mouth and chin, and his entire person looked exceptionally cheerful.

He wore a layer of armor over his upper body, belonging to the category of light armor. His lower body had little protection, and a longsword hung on each side of his waist.

Tang Zheng guessed that he probably had the Light Warrior class.

"My name is Dosari. These three are my good friends and fellow members of the Adventurer party." Captain Dosari introduced them with a broad smile.

"My name is Bask."

"I'm Lerr."

"Land."

The other three introduced themselves in turn.

Tang Zheng looked over them one by one. They were all about the same age. Although none of them had introduced their classes, their attire made it possible to guess that this Adventurer party had not only no healer, but no Spellcaster either.

Lerr and Land looked somewhat alike. Both had the same pale golden hair and were probably twins. Each had a silver shield strapped to one arm.

The other one, named Bask, was an Archer.

"Our Adventurer party is called the Rock. Just like our name suggests, we're relatively skilled at defensive battles."

Captain Dosari not only had the members introduce themselves to each other, but even took the initiative to tell Tang Zheng what their Adventurer party specialized in.

He was showing such enthusiasm even though Nfirea was the client!

Tang Zheng naturally knew the reason for his enthusiasm.

"My name is Tang." Tang Zheng gave a simple nod without saying anything more.

"We have no problem on our end." Captain Dosari continued speaking with a smile, while also glancing at Nfirea.

He was clearly saying that they only needed the client's approval.
