Nfirea did not hesitate. He seemed quite interested in Tang Zheng, a peer not much older than himself. "I need to discuss this with my grandmother. You can come along first."
At that.
Nfirea turned around and hurried toward the entrance of the Adventurer's Guild.
"Let's go with him. We can meet the client while we're at it." Captain Dossari spoke to the other three members, then looked at Tang Zheng with a hearty smile. "Coming?"
Tang Zheng nodded lightly.
Captain Dossari walked beside Tang Zheng toward the hall's exit, with the other three team members following close behind, faintly giving the impression that they were protecting Tang Zheng.
After Tang Zheng revealed his Healing Magic, quite a few adventurer teams had already begun to stir.
At this moment.
The actions of the Rock team made many of the surrounding adventurer teams curse inwardly.
At the reception desk.
The brown-haired girl, Daya, watched Tang Zheng leave alongside the Rock team, her brown eyes revealing a trace of envy and sadness.
"He's really amazing. You'd never be able to tell from his appearance that he's a Divine System Magic Caster. If only my younger brother..."
Daya muttered softly to herself, but a professional smile soon returned to her face as she received the other adventurers.
Outside the Adventurer's Guild.
A cargo wagon was parked there. Its somewhat old wooden bed was piled with goods, with wooden crates of varying sizes on the bottom and a layer of dry, straw-like plants spread over them.
As soon as one approached the wagon, they could smell a strong, somewhat pungent herbal scent.
At the front of the wagon sat an old woman holding a whip, a light green headscarf wrapped around her head. She was Nfirea's grandmother, Lizzie.
When Tang Zheng and the Rock team emerged from the entrance, they saw Nfirea speaking with his grandmother Lizzie. He was clearly telling her about what had happened in the adventurers' hall.
Tang Zheng and the others did not approach immediately, instead waiting near the rear of the wagon.
They did not have to wait long.
Nfirea walked over with a pleased expression.
"Grandmother agreed. Tang, you can come with us."
"However, Grandmother wants you to demonstrate your Healing Magic in front of her once more," Nfirea said with a smile.
"No problem," Tang Zheng said quietly.
Compared to casually following a merchant caravan or adventurer team to E-Rantel, traveling with Nfirea and his grandmother, whose backgrounds he knew, was far more reassuring.
What's more!
Nfirea's grandmother Lizzie was a Magic Caster capable of using Third-Tier magic!
Tang Zheng followed Nfirea over to his grandmother Lizzie.
Her wrinkled face and whitening hair made her look quite old. Her expressionless demeanor and the slightly protruding jawbones on either side made Grandmother Lizzie seem difficult to get along with.
In truth.
Someone capable of raising Nfirea into such a gentle person could not have a particularly bad personality herself.
"Where are you from? Black hair and dark brown eyes are quite rare throughout the entire Kingdom."
Grandmother Lizzie looked at Tang Zheng expressionlessly.
Hearing that.
Tang Zheng froze. That was not an easy question to answer.
"Forget it. It's an unimportant matter. Cast your Healing Magic on this horse of mine."
Grandmother Lizzie narrowed her eyes slightly and pointed at the Black horse pulling the wagon.
The horse looked rather old. At the base of its neck along its back, there was a visible depression that seemed to have formed from years of pulling carts.
The hair around its rump was even sparse, and several red marks could faintly be seen.
"Alright."
Tang Zheng did not waste words. He raised his palm toward the Black horse. "Minor Healing."
He could clearly feel most of the magic power within his body being drained away at once!
A soft white light spread out, enveloping the Black horse. The red marks on its rump were quickly healed and disappeared.
"Pfft!"
The Black horse shook its head and snorted, looking thoroughly comfortable.
Whew~
Tang Zheng let out a breath.
Though he did not feel tired, the magic power in his body was nearly exhausted.
First-Tier Minor Healing consumed 5 MP. Including the demonstration he had given in the Adventurer's Guild hall earlier, he had already used it twice.
He only had 13 MP. Even if someone asked him to use it again, he would not be able to!
Tang Zheng glanced at the MP value on his status panel. From the time he had first used Minor Healing until now, not even 1 MP had recovered.
The automatic recovery rate of magic power was far slower than Tang Zheng had expected!
It was also possible that it was because he did not currently have a magic class.
Although the Genius class could be converted into any Basic Class, it clearly did not include the attribute bonuses or effects provided by those other classes.
"Mm." Only then did Grandmother Lizzie nod. A smile squeezed onto her wrinkled face. "It looks like we can return to E-Rantel a little faster. Let's set off."
With that said.
Grandmother Lizzie no longer paid attention to Tang Zheng. She called out to Nfirea, and after he climbed onto the wagon and sat beside her.
Smack!
The sound of the whip striking the horse rang out.
The wooden wheels rolled over the stone-paved ground, setting off amid creaking noises.
Tang Zheng and the Rock team could only follow closely behind. Clearly, they had not been invited onto the wagon!
Fortunately.
The fully loaded wagon could not move very quickly in the first place.
May 17th, 4 years before the Common Era.
On the second day after Tang Zheng's transmigration, he left the Royal Capital.
Most of Re-Estize Kingdom consisted of plains. Its northern and western regions bordered the sea, and it possessed two enormous port cities.
Humans made up the majority of the Kingdom's population, while Demi-Humans were extremely scarce. This was also related to the Kingdom's people's deep-rooted hatred toward other races.
It was said that in recent years.
The Slane Theocracy in the south had been at war with the Elf Kingdom farther south, and Forest Elves were occasionally sold into both Re-Estize and Baharuth.
Their prices were extremely high, generally exceeding 300 gold coins.
That was only for ordinary Forest Elves. Some Forest Elves who possessed class skills could fetch more than 1,000 gold coins.
It was said that such Forest Elves were sold as "living magic items."
It had already been three days since their group left the Royal Capital. Tang Zheng had learned this information during his conversations with the Rock team.
The Rock team also seemed intent on drawing closer to Tang Zheng, so they answered almost every simple question he asked.
Therefore.
Tang Zheng indirectly learned some basic common knowledge and information about this world.
No danger occurred along the way, perhaps because they were still within the central region of the Kingdom.
After several days of contact.
Aside from becoming somewhat familiar with one another, Tang Zheng finally learned why Grandmother Lizzie, despite being capable of using Third-Tier magic, still hired adventurers.
It was because she needed laborers!
The wagon she had loaded with medicinal herbs needed to have a portion of its cargo laid out to dry every day.
Naturally, the work of loading and unloading the goods was handed to the Rock team. Captain Dossari had privately complained about this to Tang Zheng several times.
As for Tang Zheng.
He naturally was not idle either. During the periods when the herbs were laid out to dry, as well as during the evening rest periods, he needed to use Healing Magic on the horse.
It was not merely to treat the shallow wounds left by the whip.
According to Grandmother Lizzie, Healing Magic could not only heal injuries, but could also restore some of the recipient's stamina.
This made Tang Zheng realize that the way skills functioned in the game was somewhat different from how they functioned in the real world.
At the same time, through repeatedly consuming his magic power.
Tang Zheng also observed the rate at which his magic power recovered. It restored at roughly 1 point per hour.
