Nfirea heard a voice from behind him and turned around in confusion.
The four adventurers beside him had noticed Tang Zheng approaching long ago, but they had not paid much attention at first, assuming he was merely passing by.
Unexpectedly, Tang Zheng came straight toward them.
All four pairs of eyes fell on Tang Zheng as they assessed him.
They had just accepted a commission. Although it was unlikely for anyone to attack a client inside the Adventurer's Guild,
they still needed to remain vigilant!
"Is that you?"
Nfirea's bright blue eyes were full of surprise as he looked at Tang Zheng. He had clearly recognized the person he had encountered on the road earlier.
Black hair was simply too rare. It was hard not to recognize it.
"Thank you for the waterskin," Tang Zheng said softly with a smile.
"You don't need to be so polite. I'm glad I could help."
Nfirea noticed the waterskin hanging from Tang Zheng's waist and scratched his hair somewhat awkwardly.
Tang Zheng spoke to Nfirea while looking at the four adventurers beside him. "Sorry, I overheard your conversation. You're heading to E-Rantel, right? I was wondering if I could travel with you."
As soon as he said that,
everyone froze for a moment.
A hesitant look appeared on Nfirea's face. He did not mind, but his grandmother needed to agree to this.
As for the other four adventurers, there was no visible change in their expressions. However, their blank faces were an answer in themselves.
Tang Zheng had expected this situation.
He had noticed earlier that this four-person adventurer team had a somewhat problematic class composition.
"That was indeed rather abrupt of me."
"But..." Tang Zheng paused, then raised his palm and softly said, "Minor Healing."
A gentle white glow emerged from his palm, radiating warm light!
The eyes of the four previously expressionless adventurers lit up at once as they looked at Tang Zheng with surprise and astonishment.
"A Divine System Magic Caster?"
One of them even let out a quiet cry of surprise.
The Healing Magic Tang Zheng had suddenly cast also drew the attention of quite a few people in the Adventurer's Guild hall.
In Overlord and the New World, professions were generally divided into two broad categories: warrior professions and caster professions.
Warrior professions could in turn be divided into the Battle System, Defense System, Archer System, Thief System, and so on.
Casters, meanwhile, were divided into four major categories: the Arcane System, Divine System, Mental System, and Other System.
In the understanding of people in the New World, casters capable of healing generally belonged to Divine System magic casting.
Being an adventurer was an extremely dangerous profession. In the course of carrying out commissions, combat could break out in most situations.
Once injured, even a minor wound could lead to death or even amputation if not treated in time.
As a result, regardless of whether adventurers had money to spare, they all kept healing potions on hand. Even though such potions were extremely expensive, there was no helping it.
Of course!
If a team had a caster capable of using Healing Magic, it would not merely save money—it could greatly improve the team's survival rate.
However, Divine System Magic Casters were far rarer than Arcane System Magic Casters!
In the game, there was no real difference between different kinds of Magic Casters. All of them consumed a magic stat called MP.
But in the New World,
some of the game's background settings had become reality. Just as using Martial Arts required the consumption of "focus," Divine System Magic Casters faced a similar situation.
Therefore,
whenever a Divine System Magic Caster appeared, powerful adventurer teams would invite them to join. Weaker teams did not even qualify to extend an invitation.
Tang Zheng seemed not to notice the delighted looks in the four adventurers' eyes. After casting the spell, he casually drew the short sword hanging at his waist.
"I've also learned some swordsmanship, so I won't hold any of you back."
As Tang Zheng spoke, his fingers shifted around the short sword's hilt.
The short sword flipped nimbly around in Tang Zheng's palm, moving up and down as though he had received specialized training.
In truth!
Before watching the Royal Tournament, Tang Zheng had been extremely unskilled in using a short sword.
After all, he had never practiced in his previous life.
However!
After obtaining the Sword Saint profession, Tang Zheng had gained an indescribable familiarity with bladed weapons, as if he had trained with them for a long time.
Seeing his skilled handling of the short sword, the people present understood that Tang Zheng also possessed a certain degree of combat skill.
After doing all that,
Tang Zheng deftly slid the short sword back into his belt before looking at Nfirea and the others.
Especially when he noticed the delighted and satisfied looks from the four adventurers, Tang Zheng let out a heavy sigh of relief inwardly. It seemed there would be no problem with the adventurer team.
"That's amazing!"
Nfirea could not help widening his eyes. His bright blue gaze remained fixed on Tang Zheng as he spoke in amazement.
He had not expected that the person he had helped so casually would turn out to be a Divine System Magic Caster who had mastered Healing Magic.
And he apparently possessed impressive swordsmanship as well!
Was this what a genius was like?
Judging from Tang Zheng's clothing and appearance alone, it was truly unexpected.
His grandmother had been right after all.
Just like medicinal herbs, one could not judge them merely by their appearance!
At that moment,
the captain of the four adventurers, a blond man, walked over.
The blond man looked to be only around twenty-four or twenty-five. He had slightly curled facial hair around his mouth and chin, giving him a very cheerful appearance.
He wore a layer of armor over his upper body, the light armor variety. His lower body had little protection, while a longsword was fastened to each side of his waist.
Tang Zheng guessed that he probably had the Light Warrior profession.
"My name is Dossari. These three are my good friends and fellow members of our adventurer team," Captain Dossari introduced with a broad smile.
"I'm Bash."
"I'm Ler."
"Lander."
The other three introduced themselves in turn.
Tang Zheng looked over them one by one. They were all around the same age. Although the four had not introduced their professions, their clothing made it clear that this adventurer team not only lacked a healer, but did not have a caster at all.
Ler and Lander looked somewhat alike. Both had light blond hair and were likely twins. Each had a silver shield strapped to one arm.
The other one, Bash, was an Archer.
"Our adventurer team is called Rock. Just like our name suggests, we specialize in defensive battles."
Not only had Captain Dossari introduced the members to one another, he had even proactively told Tang Zheng what his adventurer team specialized in.
They had not even shown such enthusiasm toward Nfirea, their client!
Tang Zheng naturally understood the reason for their enthusiasm.
"My name is Tang." Tang Zheng simply nodded and did not say much else.
"We have no objections," Captain Dossari said with a smile, glancing at Nfirea at the same time.
He was clearly saying that all that mattered was whether the client agreed.
