Under the influence of Charm, Bear Goblin walked sluggishly to the center of Magic Ritual. Each piece of magic material was not precious, but the quantity was somewhat numerous, flickering slightly.

A faint fluctuation of magic power appeared in Tang Zheng's perception.

Whoosh!

Tang Zheng grabbed it with his palm, took out the body of Manticore, a three-meter-tall and strong body, from Item Box, and threw it on the ground. "According to the normal procedure, the monster's body needs to be put into the magic circle together."

Poof!

With a movement of his wrist, it turned into a palm knife.

He easily cut Manticore's chest open, took out half a heart the size of a basketball from his chest, which was dripping with blood, and threw it at Magic Ritual.

Bear Goblin raised his thick-haired arm and caught the heart, and drops of blood dripped from his fingers.

"What will happen if the body is not put in?"

Tang Zheng was a little curious, so he only gave the key heart to Bear Goblin.

The "Wild Shape" ritual is a power ritual handed down from the Forest Gnome clan. First, the heart of the monster must be eaten, and then the ritual is initiated together with the monster's corpse.

Thereby gaining the ability to transform into that monster, and at the same time, the "Wild Shape" skill completely loses the ability to transform into other monsters, and can only transform into this kind of monster in the future.

Under the control of Tang Zheng, Bear Goblin quickly ate the heart. There was a lot of blood on his face and chest, and he looked a little ferocious.

"The ritual begins."

Tang Zheng squatted down, put his hand on the edge of Magic Ritual, and injected magic power into it.

Boom

The oscillating magic wave, formed during the ceremony, centered on Bear Goblin, formed an invisible pulling force, as if it wanted to absorb something.

"Ah!!"

Bear Goblin suddenly let out a scream, and his originally thin body began to collapse visibly to the naked eye, but his head expanded at an alarming speed, changing towards the head of monster Manticore.

However.

Just by transforming the entire head, Bear Goblin's body seemed to have been sucked dry, turning into a truly skinny body.

Bang!

The next moment, Bear Goblin's body exploded and turned into a cloud of blood mist. The remaining limbs and broken arms flew away, and only half of his head fell to the ground and rolled twice.

This scene.

Tang Zheng was a little dazed. He didn't understand at all why a precious experimental material died?

"It's just a slight change, but it has such a big impact." Tang Zheng's eyes twitched.

Logically speaking, the real difficulty in this Magic Ritual is how to hunt powerful monsters, not the ritual itself.

If Duo Gan·Stone Lizard were still alive, they would probably think of themselves after seeing this scene and say that they are Curse of the Forest Gnome family.

He doesn't believe this!

"Fifth-Tier·Resurrection of the Dead."

Tang Zheng looked at the other two Bear Goblin who were huddled in the cage not far away, with frightened expressions on their faces, and activated Resurrection Magic expressionlessly.

The corpse's body parts are all there, maybe a little bit fragmented, but it can also be resurrected through Resurrection Magic of Low Tier.

The levels of these three Bear Goblin are not high, around level 14 or 5, and each one can be resurrected three times.

In total, it can be used nine times.

"I didn't react just now. If this happens again later, you have to use Healing Magic and Regeneration Potion. You should be able to save your life."

"The number of studies will be more." Tang Zheng nodded to himself, and his voice fell into the low-spirited ears of the other two bears, trembling all over.

He looked at Tang Zheng with eyes like Demon, and let out a sharp and Fear roar.

What a pity.

Deep in the dense forest of Great Wetlands, it is obvious that no one can save them.

In the next few days, Tang Zheng, except for a trip back to Royal Capital, specially arranged for Verdant Leaf Witch and Enri to continue selling Regeneration Potion and acquiring Alchemical Material as usual.

I have been staying in Great Wetlands and conducting research.

"Wild Shape"'s Magic Ritual, based on the current situation, has no ability to increase the strength of Tang Zheng.

The reason why he valued it so much was because this ceremony allowed Tang Zheng to see the possibility of helping New World's people break through the level restrictions.

Becoming a more powerful monster, in addition to the simple increase in strength, will it also inherit the monster's level limit?

Especially the corpse of Ancient Fire Dragon.

Although Dragon Race is not considered a monster and will most likely not work, Tang Zheng still couldn't help but want to experiment.

Upper Water Month, January 5th.

Tang Zheng returned Royal Capital, "Wild Shape"'s Magic Ritual operation process and invisible restrictions have been explored, and it can be concluded.

Only one of the three Bear Goblins died, and the remaining one only had one chance to be resurrected.

Suddenly returns Royal Capital.

It wasn't that he wanted to stop, but he had to return to Royal Capital to deal with things.

His name is Earth Month, and he arrived at Royal Capital on December Twenty. He has stayed for half a month now. During his previous journey, it was not a place where he stayed for a long time.

Half of my time before was actually spent on the road. Now that I have mastered the magic of Teleportation, my time is much more relaxed.

Many plans change over time.

Without the magic of Teleportation, Tang Zheng would never have put himself on the stage so quickly and implemented a plan of exchanging "fame" for "influence".

His current disguised identity is "Genius Alchemist" plus "Divine System Magic Chanting". This identity will naturally take a long time to appear on stage.

It will even be used until after the arrival of Great Tomb. Naturally, the earlier it is put on the stage, the better.

In the hotel.

Verdant Leaf Witch and Enri stood at the door of Tang Zheng's room, waiting quietly.

Enri carefully observed Verdant Leaf Witch, then quickly converged his eyes, pinched his pale fingers, and remained silent.

Enri doesn't find it strange that the adult has not appeared much during this time. As Alchemist, the adult likes to study various medicines.

During the time on the way to Royal Capital, the adults often stayed alone in the tent for a long time, and Enri was already used to it.

Dang! Dang!

Verdant Leaf Witch suddenly raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door a few times.

"Come in" a calm voice came from the room.

Verdant Leaf Witch then gently opened the door and entered. Enri's eyes widened somewhat innocently, and he followed quickly, with surprise in his eyes.

This scenario has occurred several times.

Enri I don't understand at all how Miss Cuiye judges when to knock on the door and when to wait outside.

She had been observing carefully just now, but found nothing.

"Is it a magical ability?" Enri could only think of this.

Verdant Leaf Witch certainly knows that Tang Zheng's "truly powerful" power is the magic of Arcane System, so it is not surprising to master Fifth-Tier's "Teleportation".

This is also the second identity that Tang Zheng deliberately hides. This power is naturally not illogical and traceable. [Alchemist] is Arcane System's profession.

It can be regarded as one of the flaws intentionally exposed by Tang Zheng.

Of course, this power will most likely not be used. "Angel Summoning" alone is enough to solve most troubles.

A bit quiet.

Enri suddenly came back to his senses, and then realized that Verdant Leaf Witch was looking at her with a frown.

In the room, Master Tang Zheng was sitting at the round table dressed casually, stroking Barghest and looking at her with a smile.

"Sir, my lord, I was distracted just now." Enri's face turned red, and he spoke in a low voice, panicked and embarrassed.

"Haha, it's okay."

"The way you were in a daze just now was quite cute." Tang Zheng smiled softly.

"Things." Verdant Leaf Witch said coldly to Enri.

"Oh, yes, here."

Enri quickly took out two high-quality parchment invitations from his arms.

It is sealed with sealing wax and has a special pattern similar to a noble emblem or pattern. It looks very formal. The only difference is the pattern on it.

"This was given to me by the person Cuiye Miss Battle I met last time." Enri handed over these two exquisite parchment invitations.

""Blue Roses"?"

Tang Zheng was a little surprised. He tore the invitations apart and looked at the information on them. The two different styles of text showed a bit of elegance.

It seems that these two invitations were written by women, and one can even smell a unique fragrance in one of them.

"Decode Magic"!

A faint magical light flashed between Tang Zheng's eyes, and the information on the invitation appeared immediately.

This is... an invitation from the "Golden" Princess?

Tang Zheng squinted his eyes. There was not much text on the two invitations, but the contents were very similar. One was "Blue Roses" Captain Lakyus apologized for what happened to Tina last time.

The other is the invitation from the "Golden" Princess. Lakyus also mentioned this, and the invitation was not just him, but the entire "Free Will".

To be precise, it includes Enri and Verdant Leaf Witch.

"The invitation was sent through the hand of "Blue Roses". I thought Lainas would be sent."

"Is it because they learned about the Battle incident between them and "Blue Roses" some time ago and made a temporary arrangement, or they want to show off their relationship with "Blue Roses" in disguise."

Tang Zheng pondered slightly, but it was difficult to make an immediate judgment.

However, whether it is "Blue Roses" who is currently the most famous, Lakyus who has the status of a great noble, or the "golden" princess who is even more famous.

It's really hard to refuse such an invitation.

Originally, Tang Zheng thought that the "Golden" Princess would send Lainas, with the idea of rejecting it directly when the time came, so that he could exchange information with Lainas openly.

At least, Tang Zheng has no intention of meeting the "golden" princess so early, but if "Blue Roses" is added, that's not impossible.

He was thinking about establishing some contact with "Blue Roses" before leaving Royal Capital, but he couldn't find an entry point. After all, there was still a conflict between the two parties some time ago.

There is an opportunity in front of me.

"That's fine."

Tang Zheng's eyes flickered slightly.

"Sir, not long ago, a noble carriage delivered several sets of formal clothes." Enri spoke in a low voice, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Tomorrow we are going to meet the princess, and those dresses are prepared for this."

Tang Zheng looked away from the invitation, looked at Enri and Verdant Leaf Witch, who was equally curious but showed a cold look, and spoke softly.

"Meet, meet the princess!?"

Enri couldn't help but exclaimed, as if he heard something unbelievable.

After coming to Royal Capital, I have naturally heard rumors about the "golden" princess. For such a big shot, Enri felt that it was impossible for the two parties to meet in this life.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, I would meet the princess!

Enri feels like he is in a dream, or in other words, all his experiences since following the adults have been like dreams.

"Those dresses, if you want to wear them tomorrow, try them on in advance." Tang Zheng reminded.

Although he didn't understand some of the attire of the nobility, he also knew that wearing these attires was always cumbersome, and the first contact would inevitably require a process of sorting out.

Enri and Verdant Leaf Witch were not accessible before this time.

Tang Zheng waved his arms, indicating that the two of them could leave.

Verdant Leaf Witch bowed respectfully, turned around and exited the room, while Enri stood there a little tangled.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Tang Zheng said.

"Well, sir, there has been a girl lingering outside the hotel door, saying that she wants to see you."

Enri grabbed the pink dress on his body and mustered up the courage to speak.

Long before, Tang Zheng had already informed that the hotel would not see any foreign guests. Except before the grand ceremony, Rock Squad visited for a short while and then no longer received anyone.

After all, there are too many people who want to see Tang Zheng every day.

The benefits generated by "Regeneration Potion" alone are enough to make most nobles excited, not to mention the numerous alchemy workshops and pharmacy workshops.

Tang Zheng believes in his own Regeneration Potion. During this period of time, he doesn't know how many times it has been studied by these workshops.

What a pity.

His "Regeneration Potion" was created through the 10-level [Alchemist] converted from [Genius], and the passive ability of [Magic Swordsman].

No matter how much research these people do, they will never get results.

"Why, do you think she is pitiful?"

Tang Zheng knew that Enri had been faithfully carrying out his instructions. The only thing that made Enri open his mouth was that it touched Enri's compassionate heart.

Enri lowered his head.

Tang Zheng did not continue to speak, but stood up, walked to the window, and looked down at the door of the hotel.

The room he lives in is the best location in the entire hotel, and he can clearly see the direction of the street and the door.

There was indeed a girl squatting at the door.

Huh?

Somewhat familiar.

Tang Zheng recalled briefly and remembered who this girl was.

"It won't happen again."

Tang Zheng turned around and said to Enri, and then walked out the door. It wasn't that he was indifferent, but he didn't want to waste time on such insignificant things.

"Thank you, sir!" Enri clenched his fist and waved it vigorously, with a happy smile on his face.

The hotel entrance.

A girl with brown hair and a few freckles on her face squatted in the corner and wrapped her clothes tightly.

During this period, every time she finished Adventurer's Guild's work, she came here immediately, wanting to wait for the adult to appear, although she had not seen him so far.

"You're waiting for me, right." A calm voice suddenly came, and a shadow enveloped the brown-haired girl.
