"Black" Pabel, an Indescribable Woman
Only a week has passed.
The reputation of the adventurer team "Free Will" and "Genius Alchemy Division" has reached the point where everyone in Khalinsha knows it.
Even Tang Zheng himself never thought that when he made "Regeneration Potion", he only wanted to get some Red Potion for himself.
The purpose is to get in touch with the elusive Lainas and obtain the career of [Cursed Knight].
Nowadays, "Regeneration Potion" is in his hands and has exerted an effect far beyond that of the potion itself. Using the potion to open the way, he can easily gain a lot of fame.
Fortress City "Khalinsha" is close to the Fortress line of the city wall, and there is no shortage of injured and disabled soldiers. With the existence of these people, it is difficult not to become famous.
Busy and lively streets.
The shouts of vendors on both sides, soldiers wearing ordinary armor who had just been discharged from duty, as well as various women and merchants selling goods gathered together.
The air was filled with a faint aroma of barbecue and the aroma of ale.
Tang Zheng was walking on the street, followed by Barghest who was already a head taller than him. He was very eye-catching.
Barghest's body was piled with all kinds of meat and food. At this moment, it looked more like a domestic animal dragging cargo than a ferocious and terrifying monster.
Along the way.
Many passers-by said hello.
Tang Zheng responded one by one with a smile, stopping at the stalls on both sides of the street from time to time to see if there was anything he needed to buy.
"Thank you, Blackie." Tang Zheng reached out and patted the neck of Barghest beside him.
"Ah um." Barghest responded softly.
"This city is more prosperous than "E-Rantel"." Tang Zheng sighed inwardly after observing during this period.
The three forts on the Fortress line require soldiers to be stationed for a long time. These people will bring great consumption, and the defenses will be changed every once in a while, and new soldiers will create more demand.
This indirectly led to the prosperity of "Khalinsha".
If nothing changes in the future, this place will become a real hell on earth.
Tang Zheng stared at the bustling street in front of him, his calm eyes became dark, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Whether the future can change, he doesn't know.
Gotta give it a try.
Following the flow of people, we came to a stall selling raw meat. The main products sold here were poultry raised by civilians and some game offcuts.
"Sir Adventurer." The stall owner saw Tang Zheng from a distance and greeted him warmly.
"How much do these meat offcuts cost?"
Tang Zheng asked gently.
"Huh?"
The stall owner was a little surprised. He didn't know why a big shot like Tang Zheng would ask about the price of scraps, but he still spoke quickly.
"I remember it wasn't this price two days ago?" Tang Zheng's eyes flashed. He also asked two days ago that the price was cheaper.
"Sir Adventurer, I definitely have no intention of raising the price." The stall owner's face changed, and he misunderstood Tang Zheng's intention. Seeing the evil spirit that could easily swallow him whole, he explained in panic and fear:
"The price of meat has increased a bit recently. Some businessmen have started to buy the scraps and offal that were so cheap before that no one even wanted them."
"This is why in recent times, the prices of even such cheap things that poor people don't eat have also increased."
Hear the other person's answer.
Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said without changing his expression, "I see."
He had already guessed the real reason.
These nobles and big shots are really crazy, and now they have begun to buy offal, scraps and other carrion.
Since the first successful transaction with Troll, it was as if a certain box had been opened. A large number of caravans appeared from nowhere and began to frequently trade with Troll.
Able to continuously transport large quantities of food, it is obvious that the people behind these caravans are nobles.
"Oh, I didn't expect Your Excellency Genius Alchemy to be interested in this kind of thing." Suddenly, a majestic man's voice came from the side.
Tang Zheng turned his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from. It was a middle-aged man about the same height as him, with a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle.
The first impression given to outsiders is a sense of pressure.
The opponent was wearing a short black cloak that reached the waist, and he was wearing light leather armor underneath, because the cloak partially covered his body.
But you can still see that there is an owl pattern on the left chest of the leather armor, and the national emblem of the Holy Kingdom on the right chest.
The lower body is wearing the more common loose black pants, and the feet are wearing special boots like normal soldiers.
No impression.
Tang Zheng looked at this strange man, and he was very sure that he had never seen him before.
This outfit is similar to those of lower-ranking soldiers, but judging from his demeanor and appearance, he must have a higher status.
The opponent's strength is a bit strong!
Tang Zheng did not use detection magic, but just based on the first impression the other party gave him, it gave him a noteworthy feeling.
"Who is your Excellency?" Tang Zheng wondered as several thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Pabel."
Pabel walked up and glanced at Barghest first, then with a smile on his face, he introduced himself.
The smile is a little stiff.
The other person should be an unsmiling person.
"Watch, night watchman, sir!" The stall owner on the side saw Pabel and stammered, his face full of nervousness and excitement.
Night watchman?
Tang Zheng's eyes flashed with surprise, and his face became serious at the same time: "I didn't expect to see the "black" Mr. Pabel, one of the Holy Kingdom"Nine Colors" here."
"It's just a false reputation."
Pabel waved his hand, and looked at Tang Zheng with his sharp eyes. "Your Excellency Tang's reputation is equally loud in the Kingdom. Even if you come to our Holy Kingdom, you will still attract people's attention."
Have you investigated his adventurer team "Free Will"?
Tang Zheng Not surprising.
"I didn't know that Mr. Tang would be interested in this kind of thing besides being interested in Alchemy." Pabel changed his voice and continued to speak.
According to the information he investigated, it was a bit strange in the eyes of Pabel that the other party would pay attention to the price of this kind of rotten meat.
"Blackie always eats a lot."
Tang Zheng chuckled and patted Barghest next to him, "In addition to Blackie, I also have a Ogre that needs feeding."
"That's why I decided to get some offal, scraps and other rotten meat and feed it to that Ogre."
Tang Zheng brought a Ogre in order to make Regeneration Potion. The blood of Ogre is the raw material. Without the other party's blood, it is impossible to make large quantities of potions on the surface.
Looking at this young man who is obviously not very old, but still behaves gently and calmly after knowing his identity.
Pabel's eyes are a little serious.
The opponent's confidence in being so calm does not come from the powerful Alchemy and the so-called "fame", but from his strength.
"That's it." Pabel's voice became gentler and he suddenly said, "Thank you."
"Huh?" Tang Zheng was surprised.
"Because of your medicine, those disabled soldiers finally have hope. I want to thank you on their behalf." Pabel said seriously.
"If it's because of this, please take back your "thank you" just now."
Tang Zheng raised his palm to interrupt Pabel's next words, "I sell potions and they pay for them. This is a fair transaction."
Pabel was stunned, then suddenly laughed, "That's right."
Looking at the young man wearing Priest robe again, Pabel felt more and more that he was very pleasing to the eye. "Let's talk."
"Okay."
The two of them walked forward along the street, followed closely by Barghest, carrying the goods on his back.
"During this period, I heard that you were buying Demi-Human."
" Mr. Pabel and I met by chance, probably because of this incident."
"I don't know how much you know about us Holy Kingdom, but the towering and continuous city wall Fortress should be able to tell our attitude towards Demi-Human."
"I was a little reckless."
"So, what's the reason?"
"The alchemy potion I am good at is researched and refined using Demi-Human blood as the key material."
"The reason I came to the Holy Kingdom this time is because there are a lot of Demi-Human here, so I want to get more Demi-Human blood."
"..."
After a while.
Tang Zheng looked at the departing figure of Pabel, his eyes unchanged, turned around and said to Barghest next to him, "Let's go, it's time to go back to the hotel."
"Ouch." Barghest responded in a low voice.
Tang Zheng pondered, walking slowly on the street: ""Black"Pabel, if I remember correctly, the other party's daughter should be Neia."
Among the Holy Kingdom, what impressed Tang Zheng most was the four women, three of them miserable, and one of whom I don't know how to describe.
Holy Kingdom's first "Holy Queen" Calca, who can be described as a combination of beauty and talent, was chopped down by Wrath Demon General as a human weapon. In the end, her body rotted into pieces.
"The supreme Priest leader of the temple" Kelart, one of the Holy Queen's arms, had his head cut off and was given to Crown Demon as a magic weapon.
"Holy Knights Long" Remedios, one of the Holy Queen's arms, was used by Demiurge from beginning to end. After it was determined that Nan Northern Holy Kingdom was completely opposed, he was secretly dealt with.
The last one is Neia.
Tang Zheng was walking on the road, his brows slightly furrowed. This was a person that even he didn't know how to describe.
It can be said that Neia was completely brainwashed by Bone Lord. Although the other party was a human being, he was completely on the side of Bone Lord.
He even dedicated himself to promoting the greatness of Bone Lord to other humans, and in the process, he also obtained the profession of [Evangelist].
Two people, Remedios and Neia.
Tang Zheng doesn't like them very much. Both of them can be described as "stupid" or "blind".
But that's why.
These two people are the easiest to incite and confuse.
Inside the hotel room.
Tang Zheng took out a bottle of red potion from Item Box and placed it on the table. This potion was refined by mixing the blood of Lizardman Crusch Lulu and the blood of Ancient Red Dragon during this period.
