Crackling~

The blackened brazier is placed under the chimney in the room, and the firewood burns inside, making a soft sound, gradually increasing the temperature in the room, and isolating the cold air outside.

The middle-aged village chief with a round hat on his head, a strong build and dark skin, looked at the two Tang Zheng cautiously and apologetically.

"The environment is simple, don't take it off, two of you." The middle-aged village chief said softly and embarrassedly.

This is the village chief's home of Carne Village. Tang Zheng and his party were invited here as soon as they showed up.

Except for the village chief.

The hunter of the village, Rachimon, stood quietly on one side, leaning against the wooden wall, and glanced at Tang Zheng and Verdant Leaf Witch with some fear.

Especially the gold nameplate hanging on Tang Zheng's waist made Rachimon couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

That is the proof of adventurer "Gold Rank"!

The value of this nameplate alone, if sold, would be enough to buy a family two or three months of food.

This is a big shot that I couldn't even come into contact with before.

Rachimon remembered that the last time he saw Tang Zheng, the other party was not even an adventurer. Unexpectedly, just a few months later, the other party had become "Gold Rank" an adventurer.

It's amazing--

Rachimon glanced at Tang Zheng's young face and the pretty girl with emerald green hair next to him, and quickly withdrew his gaze, not daring to pay too much attention.

He is not from the same world at all.

"We are the ones who disturbed you." Tang Zheng shook his head and said calmly:

"The village chief doesn't have to be so accommodating. It's not my first time coming to Carne Village. I'd like to thank the village chief for his hospitality before."

Hear this.

The middle-aged village chief had a flattered look on his face. "What are you talking about? This is just a small matter."

Although the black-haired young man in front of me came to their village for the third time, it was completely different from the previous two times.

The middle-aged village chief still remembered that the other party was wearing cheap linen clothes, which did not look too eye-catching. He was completely different from the image in front of him of the pure white Priest robe and Black exquisite inner wear.

Especially the Barghest monster squatting outside the door, which is as tall as a person, all shows that the black-haired young man in front of them is no longer within the reach of the country people.

Thinking of how some women in the village would make fun of Tang Zheng helping the little girl Enri carry straw from time to time, the middle-aged village chief couldn't help but feel something in his heart.

Fortunately Tang Zheng didn't know about this,

The middle-aged village chief did not think that a big shot like Tang Zheng would care about a country woman in the village. On the contrary, if the other party heard about it, it would very likely cause dissatisfaction from the other party and even affect the village.

"I wonder if Enri is still in the village?" Tang Zheng's calm voice sounded.

"Ah, ah?"

The middle-aged village chief was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened suddenly, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"What's wrong, isn't Enri here?"

Tang Zheng was a little strange. Looking at the middle-aged village chief who was obviously nervous, he said in surprise.

"Yes, yes."

"Sir, what's the matter?" the middle-aged village chief said in a low voice, feeling guilty and nervous.

Rachimon The body also became a little tense.

"I came to Carne Village this time just to meet Enri. Last time I found out that Enri has a special talent."

"So I want to ask if you are willing to leave the village." Tang Zheng faced the surprised village chief and explained patiently.

Hear this.

The middle-aged village chief and Rachimon looked at each other, feeling relieved and a little surprised at the same time.

They didn't know what kind of talent Enri had that could be spotted by Tang Zheng in front of them, but they knew that this was an opportunity for both Enri and Carne Village.

"Rachimon, you go to Aemert's house and have a rest, and also call Aemert over." The middle-aged village chief turned his head and spoke to Rachimon in a serious tone.

This matter is a good thing for the village, but it also needs to listen to the opinions of Enri himself and Enri's father Aemert.

Rachimon nodded, quickly left the room, turned around and left.

Tang Zheng chatted lightly with the village chief Carne Village to find out if anything major happened in "Li Yestiji Kingdom" during this period.

What a pity.

Carne Village is really too remote, and the middle-aged village chief doesn't know much about it.

aside.

Watching Tang Zheng communicating with a weak human being, Verdant Leaf Witch, although his face was still expressionless, his heart was full of surprise and confusion.

She really couldn't figure it out.

A powerful and terrifying master actually communicates on an equal footing with a human being who can be easily killed.

Even if he doesn't know much about the human world, he still knows that there are probably not many people as powerful as his master among the human race.

"Could it be that the person named Enri is also a strong human being?" Cuiye woman thought silently in her heart.

It takes about two minutes.

Rachimon walked in with a brown-haired, nervous man, and Enri who followed behind with his fingers clasped.

Verdant Leaf Witch looked at the three people for the first time and found that they were also very weak guys, with even more doubts in their eyes.

"Sister, these humans don't seem to know the master's strength." White Mist Witch's voice sounded from Verdant Leaf Witch's heart.

Verdant Leaf Witch nodded slightly, her pupils thoughtful. After the scene in front of her, she also faintly realized that the master deliberately concealed his own strength.

"Long time no see, Enri."

Tang Zheng looked at Enri with a smile and said hello with a chuckle.

"Sir." Enri quickly bowed and spoke in a panic.

What happens next is much simpler.

It was not beyond Tang Zheng's expectation. Both Enri's father and Carne Village chief fully supported Enri in accepting his invitation.

For the poor villagers living in border villages, Tang Zheng's invitation is a huge opportunity in their eyes.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

The only difference is that the original Enri will belong to Bone Lord's camp in the future, but now he has joined Tang Zheng and stands on the opposite side of Bone Lord.

I specially stayed at Carne Village for a day to let Enri say a good goodbye to his family.

The next day.

A carriage drove out of Carne Village.

The cart was pulled by Barghest and Tang Zheng were sitting in the back, and the carriage was naturally funded by the village chief.

On the swaying carriage.

Enri was wrapped in thick clothes, his cheeks were flushed by the cold wind. He raised his head and looked carefully at Tang Zheng and Verdant Leaf Witch, who had no expression on his face.

It's obviously such a cold weather.

Neither Tang Zheng nor Verdant Leaf Witch wore much, as if the cold temperature did not affect them at all.

"What's wrong? If you have anything to ask, just ask." Tang Zheng noticed Enri's eyes and said with a slight smile.

"I, do I really have the talent that adults say?"

Enri shrunk his neck and wrapped himself tightly in old clothes, revealing his fingers that were white with cold from the cuffs.

Even now, Enri feels like a dream, full of confusion and confusion, listening to what his father and uncle Rachimon said.

The adult in front of you is the adventurer "Gold Rank", a powerful man who can make a lot of money.

But.

She knows nothing except farm work.

"Believe me, you have talents that you don't know about." Tang Zheng said with great certainty, and then his voice changed:

"It's just..."

Enri quickly raised his head, staring at Tang Zheng with brown pupils uneasily.

"I've mentioned it once before, but I still want to tell you one more time. It will be dangerous to follow me." Tang Zheng said.

Enri raised his fair neck and said as if to cheer himself up, "I'm not afraid!"

There are not many ways to make money in the village. Apart from planting wheat and other crops and going to the forest to pick herbs, there are no other ways to make money.

Enri also wants to earn more money and even be able to help the village. She is not stupid and knows why the village chief wants her to accept the invitation and follow Tang Zheng.

Calm returned to the carriage.

Enri actually really wanted to communicate with Verdant Leaf Witch on the side, but the indifferent attitude shown by the other party made Enri feel nervous and did not dare to speak first.

"Blackie, go faster." Tang Zheng said to Barghest who was pulling the cart.

"Ouch."

Barghest howled, moved his limbs quickly and started running on the snow.

The sudden acceleration of the speed made the cold wind blowing in the face stronger, and Tang Zheng and Verdant Leaf Witch naturally had no effect.

But as an ordinary person, Enri couldn't help but shudder even though he was wrapped in thick clothes.

"Cuiye."

Tang Zheng glanced at Verdant Leaf Witch.

"Yes." Verdant Leaf Witch nodded respectfully, whitened his slender arms, and emerald green light emitted from his palms:

"Plant Growth."

Several leaves flew out from Verdant Leaf Witch's body, rapidly growing and expanding in mid-air, forming a plant barrier, wrapping the open-air carriage to resist the cold wind coming from ahead.

"It's amazing." Enri opened his mouth slightly with a look of surprise on his face.

Under the acceleration of Barghest.

The journey that originally took half a day was shortened to two hours.

The tall vertical city wall towers appeared on the horizon in front, and the border city "E-Rantel" arrived.

The soldiers guarding the gate of the city wall were stunned and nervous for a while when faced with the intimidating Barghest pulling a carriage. They subconsciously picked up their weapons and looked warily at the rapidly approaching carriage.

"Stop!!"

A soldier shouted with a trembling voice.

Barghest's current huge size is full of danger, which is simply not something ordinary soldiers like them can handle.

Barghest slowed down, walked at a leisurely pace, lowered his head and showed a ferocious face, and looked at the soldiers with weapons blocking the city gate with contempt with their beast eyes.

Just a look.

It made these soldiers tremble all over.

"Okay, Blackie." A helpless voice came from the carriage.

Barghest's footsteps paused, and Bone Chains's body tightened slightly, allowing the pulling carriage to stop easily.

Wow!

The plant barrier covering the carriage turned into a large number of leaves falling down.

Tang Zheng stood up and jumped off the carriage, picked up the adventurer's nameplate on his waist, and walked towards the soldiers guarding the city.

"I am an adventurer."

Tang Zheng spoke and motioned to the adventurer in his hand to prove it.

Look at the gold nameplate.

All the soldiers guarding the city did not show any surprised expressions on their faces. Being able to let a monster like Barghest pull a cart was something that ordinary adventurers could not do.

After a little more inspection.

These soldiers quickly moved out of the way, and compared to the last time they returned to "E-Rantel" from Great Forest of Tob, the intensity of the inspection was obviously much relaxed.

Tang Zheng speculates that the war between "Kingdom" and "Baharuth Empire" has ended.

Although it is unclear what the outcome will be, the probability of the Kingdom's defeat is obviously higher.

Just as Tang Zheng was about to turn around and return to the carriage, suddenly, an excited voice sounded.

"Sir, are you the adventurer "Free Will"?"

A soldier who was relatively close to Tang Zheng looked at the words on the gold nameplate and was shocked.

Huh?

Tang Zheng turned around and looked at the soldier in surprise, feeling a little confused in his heart.

When he registered the adventurer "Free Will", he should have been unknown, not to mention that he was not in the Kingdom most of the time, and he did not perform adventurer tasks.

Probably not famous.

""Free Will"?"

"Is it that "Free Will"!"

"Sure enough, she has black hair!"

"The black-haired Genius Alchemist is indeed our Kingdom adventurer."

"..."

Several soldiers guarding the city around heard the excited voice of the soldier just now, and all looked over.

When he saw Tang Zheng's somewhat conspicuous Black hair, his face also showed an excited look, and he looked at Tang Zheng with admiration.

Facing such gazes, Tang Zheng frowned slightly.

He realized that the plan he originally planned to implement should have... deviated somewhat.

Tang Zheng The reason why he acted in a normal way this time was to prepare for the implementation of the plan to "increase his reputation" and pave the way for the next goal.

However!

Seeing the appearance of these soldiers in front of him, Tang Zheng realized that there was obviously something wrong with the plan he was about to implement.

But now, it is not the time to adjust the plan, but to find out what happened.

Doesn't he remember any big actions in the territory of "Li Yestiji Kingdom", or is there someone using his name to act?

"Everyone, I wonder if you can tell me what happened?" Several thoughts flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, and he asked the soldier who spoke first.

"Don't you know?" Seeing that Tang Zheng didn't seem to understand it at all, the soldier said in an excited tone:

"You are now the most famous "Gold Rank" adventurer among adventurers."

The other soldiers around him also gathered around one by one and rushed to speak. Although there was some confusion, Tang Zheng finally figured out what was going on.

"Martial Lord" Ge Jin is indeed as expected, just as he planned, he has left Empire and gone to Abelion Hills.

And it was precisely because of this incident that Empire was shaken a lot, which even affected the frontline troops, giving Kingdom a breather.

The final impact of this incident was that Blood Emperor was furious.

"So, I'm wanted by the Empire now, right?" Tang Zheng raised an eyebrow.
