Standing outside the crowd, the expressions on the faces of the four members of the "Rock" team could be described as complicated.

"Captain, that Genius Alchemist is calling us, right?" Archer Basak spoke in a low voice with trembling lips.

Captain Dossari opened his mouth but made no sound because he no longer needed to answer. Tang Zheng on the other side had already walked over with Enri.

"It's actually Tang."

"Are you kidding? I always thought they had the same name." Brothers Ler and Lander touched their shoulders and said excitedly.

At this moment, Tang Zheng, both in temperament and appearance, has changed drastically from when they first met. Although the overall appearance has not changed, it still made a few people in the crowd a little unsure.

Nowadays, the reputation of "Free Will" is very loud among Royal Capital. Although the opponent is an adventurer of "Gold Rank", no adventurer thinks that the opponent is only of this level.

This is a team of adventurers that destroyed seven "Gold Rank", five "Platinum Rank", one "Mithril" and a huge 70-person "Death Spreading Sword Mercenary Group".

With such strength, anyone who treats the other party as an ordinary Gold Rank adventurer is a fool.

When I think of this.

The four people in the "Rock" team, who had just been excited, became a little embarrassed again.

For more than half a year, they are still Silver Rank adventurers. Compared with Tang, who is now famous, they are actually somewhat unknown.

"Long time no see, guys, I didn't expect to meet you here." Tang Zheng walked up to them,

Smiled:

"It seems that a lot of things have happened during this time."

The changes in several people are quite obvious.

Dossari Captain has a scar on his face, Bash's arrow-drawing arm is equipped with a magic gauntlet, and Lander the two brothers have also become stronger and more vicissitudes of life.

Dossari Captain was obviously a little embarrassed. He raised his rough palm to wave and quickly put it down. His cheeks turned red and he humbly said, "Long time no see, Tang."

Thinking back to the time when he planned to recruit the other party into his team, Captain Dossari wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.

"Hmm? Silver Rank adventurer." Tang Zheng saw the silver nameplates on the four people and joked half-jokingly:

"I am stronger than you now, seniors."

Familiar teasing came.

The four captains Dossari suddenly recalled the brief journey to "E-Rantel".

The originally awkward atmosphere dissipated, and several people realized that Tang Zheng didn't seem to have changed much.

"You were laughed at, captain." Archer Bash relaxed his tense shoulders, folded his hands on his chest and looked at the captain aside.

"Hahaha." Captain Dossari scratched his head.

Lander brothers also laughed together.

"By the way, this is Enri." Tang Zheng moved a step to one side, exposing Enri standing behind, and introduced.

"I've met a few seniors."

Enri's eyes were full of curiosity. Until now, she had never seen an adult talking and laughing like this with others. While speaking, she bent down and prepared to bow.

However!

The moment Enri bowed, the four members of the "Rock" team immediately avoided him at the same time, with wry smiles on their faces.

"Tang was joking just now, don't take it seriously." Captain Dossari said quickly.

The identity and status among adventurers are based on fame and strength, not some illusory thing like "seniors".

Adventurers never admit it either.

The "senior" Tang just mentioned was just a joke between acquaintances. If you really think of yourself in this capacity, you are overestimating your capabilities.

Even if Tang doesn't care, they still have to care.

"Let's talk while walking." Tang Zheng said with a smile.

"Okay."

Dossari Captain nodded immediately. He also noticed that the conversation between the two just now attracted a lot of attention.

As Tang Zheng lifted his feet and left, "Rock| the four people in the team quickly followed. Under the gazes of one after another, they all held their chests and backs high.

Tang Zheng walked in the front, with captain Dossari one step behind, followed by Enri and the three members of the "Rock" team.

"Thank you just now." After walking some distance, Captain Dossari said gratefully.

"What's wrong?" Tang Zheng wondered.

"It's not the same thing as before." Captain Dossari smiled bitterly.

They originally accepted the Gold Rank mission of escorting Nfirea's grandparents, but it ended in failure and they didn't make any money.

The failure of the mission also affected their team rating, which is why they have always been the Silver Rank adventurer team.

And just now, with the reputation of Tang Zheng, he communicated with them and even left together, which was enough to greatly increase the reputation of their adventurer team.

"If you need to thank me for something like this, then don't treat me as a friend." Tang Zheng was speechless.

Hear this.

Dossari Captain's eyes turned red and he nodded heavily. "Yes!"

"You have been participating in the Adventurer's Guild activities in Royal Capital, so you should have some knowledge of the president of the Guild. What kind of person is he?" Tang Zheng asked.

Dossari Captain did not hesitate and said everything he knew.

Listening to the information about President Royal Capital Adventurer's Guild, Tang Zheng nodded thoughtfully.

The next thing he has to do is to fish out the captured Verdant Leaf Witch.

The captain of the noble lady "Blue Roses", fishing for Tina is just a matter of words, and Tang Zheng has no connections in Royal Capital.

At least that's the case on the surface.

It is actually very simple to fish out Verdant Leaf Witch. It can be easily done with the help of either Imina or Lainas.

It's just not necessary.

He has been to Royal Capital for three days, and he really should pay a visit to the president of the Adventurer's Guild here. This matter is a good opportunity.

My current identity cannot be limited to the rumors heard by ordinary people. It needs to be made more real.

Converting "fame" into "influence" is one of his next plans.

Royal Capital·Adventurer's Guild.

Before entering this area, you can see the lively flow of people and dense carriages. No matter which city you are in, Adventurer's Guild is always the busiest place.

The heavy oak door stood open.

The noise came from the Guild, which was also mixed with the smell of ale and fruit wine. For most adventurers, alcohol is an indispensable drink.

Guild provides drinks and food, but the prices are generally higher. Ordinary adventurers will naturally be reluctant to part with them, but the adventurers of Royal Capital are obviously richer than adventurers in other places.

Step into the Guild.

The tables in the spacious hall were already full of people, and some adventurers who had no seats were leaning against the wall chatting and laughing.

The smell of alcohol becomes stronger in the air.

Tang Zheng Seeing the dense crowd of adventurers, his eyes fell on the mission bulletin board, where the number of adventurers was the smallest.

"It's really lively. Why are there so many people?" Tang Zheng was a little surprised.

Captain Dossari looked normal. "After all, Prayer Day will be here soon, and most adventurers will not go on missions during this period."

"Prayer Day?"

Tang Zheng is a little confused. He doesn't know much about some festivals in this world.

"The new year is coming soon. After Prayer Day is over, there will be a celebration. This is a grand event for Royal Capital every year." Captain Dossari said excitedly, minding his own business.

So that's it.

Tang Zheng It's clear, it's like a festival to welcome the new year.

Bang!

The big wooden cup hit the table, and the brawny, shirtless adventurer shouted at the front desk, "One more cup."

The drunken voice was not noticeable in the noisy environment.

However, after putting down his wine glass, the strong man quickly noticed several figures at the door. "Oh, Dossari, you "Rock" people, are you still planning to accept the task at this time?"

"If you ask me, it's better not to work so hard and just be a Silver Rank adventurer, hahaha.

The voice of Taunt came and immediately caused the people around to laugh together.

Dossari Captain's face instantly turned red, and he wanted to open his mouth to fight back angrily, but finally opened his mouth.

I forced myself to hold it back.

Obviously the other party is not something he can afford to offend.

"I made you laugh, Tang." Captain Dossari scratched his hair in embarrassment.

Tang Zheng shook his head and was about to say something.

suddenly.

There was a noise and the sound of whistles coming from the adventurers in the hall.

A female adventurer with blond hair and a hot figure walked down the stairs, Black's tight leather armor wrapped her whole body tightly.

Instead, it further revealed the opponent's slender waist and graceful figure, with a dagger tied to both sides of his slender legs.

His golden pupils showed indifference and his expression was stern. He looked like an unsmiling person.

Among the adventurers below, although some were whistling and even looking at them fiercely, no one took the initiative to step forward or even uttered obscene words.

Obviously.

This female adventurer is either very powerful or has a special identity.

Dossari's eyes changed even more, and he quickly lowered his voice and spoke to Tang Zheng, "This is the female adventurer I mentioned to you before, the female adventurer who has been with the Guild all year round, her name is Samantha."

Under the curious gaze of everyone.

Samantha walked down the stairs and walked straight towards Tang Zheng who had just entered the Guild door.

Everyone was a little surprised when they saw this scene. The adventurer from the Taunt and "Rock" teams just now had a look of surprise on their faces.

"Samantha."

Samantha stepped on the wooden board and walked up to Tang Zheng. A smile appeared on his stern face, his eyes were raised slightly, and he stretched out his palms.

"Tang." Faced with this scene, Tang Zheng remained gentle and responded lightly. As for the palm stretched out by the other party,

It's like I didn't see it.

"Can I help you?" Samantha's expression froze for a moment, then he put his arm down.

Don't care about Tao.

"Please help me introduce President Guild."

"Okay."

Samantha smiled brightly.

As Tang Zheng and Enri disappeared up and down the stairs together, the atmosphere in the hall that had briefly descended became noisy again.

And everyone in the "Rock" team was even more surrounded.

Next.

No one knows what Tang Zheng talked about with the president of the Adventurer's Guild. They only know that many adventurers saw it with their own eyes when Tang, the leader of "Free Will", came out again.

President Adventurer's Guild, who was always strict, actually went downstairs with Tang Zheng with a smile on his face.

That evening.

Verdant Leaf Witch, which Gazef took away, has returned to the hotel.
