Chapter 100: Rescue? Vibration, Independent System

~9 min read 1,707 words

To further confirm, Tang Zheng asked Friyne to use the "Object Positioning" magic.

Result!

Friyne looked blank, having gained nothing, and even suspected whether she was not proficient in this magic, leading to a failure in activation.

Tang Zheng, through the prompt that appeared on the attribute panel, clearly knew that the other party did not fail to activate, but that "Object Positioning" could not act on him.

"Do you want me to try again?" Friyne felt a little embarrassed.

"I've already troubled you, no need." Tang Zheng waved his hand and smiled.

He was now certain that "remote peeping-type" magic didn't work on him. In the future, he only needed to target perception-type magic.

"I ordered some food just now; if you two don't mind, feel free to enjoy it."

"I still have some things to deal with, so I'll take my leave first." Tang Zheng said, an embarrassed look appearing on his face, and stood up.

"Although this restaurant is small, the price is not cheap." Friyne's golden eyebrows twitched upward, then she jokingly nudged Arche, who looked uneasy on the side, with her arm.

"I'll see you off."

Arche stood up abruptly, her cheeks turning slightly red.

Friyne watched Tang Zheng and the uneasy Arche leaving the restaurant, picked up a drink similar to coffee, and let out a strange chuckle,

"I didn't expect Arche to know such a handsome guy, and he has black hair too; looking at the roots, it doesn't look dyed."

Outside the restaurant.

Arche watched the ten gold coins in her hand with her blue pupils, feeling a little dazed.

Because she suddenly realized.

It seemed that until now, she didn't know Tang Zheng's name, and the other party hadn't introduced himself at all.

On the bustling long street.

Carriages drove past quickly along the middle road, and from time to time, soldiers wearing armor could be seen patrolling the street.

Being close to the Imperial Magic Academy, the safety here was clearly much higher than in other areas.

On the streets on both sides, besides most civilians wearing ordinary clothes, there were quite a few adventurers with weapons hanging at their waists and backs.

The closer to the central square, the more people dressed in strange ways.

Tang Zheng's loose priest's robe wrapped around his drooping arms, swaying slightly with his walking movements, and the small evil spirit dog followed closely behind.

"Need to speed up."

Tang Zheng thought silently to himself.

Especially after seeing the miserable future Arche, such thoughts became much stronger.

Rescue the other party?

Tang Zheng didn't think he had ever had such a condescending attitude.

Because even he wasn't sure if he could be safe in the future.

If the girl in front of him needed to be rescued, then the 100,000 soldiers of the "Re-Estize Kingdom" who were sacrificed at once, and the group of people in the future "Holy Kingdom" who were slaughtered and skinned by Demiurge as two-legged sheep.

Did the people of the Holy Kingdom, who were used as livestock after having their IQ lowered by magic, need to be rescued even more?

He was not a savior, nor did he want to be a savior.

Tang Zheng didn't mind saving some people along the way on this path, but he wouldn't do it specifically for this matter.

As a player, someone who could become stronger through killing.

Tang Zheng considered that he hadn't killed any innocent people indiscriminately until now, which was already the highest reverence for life.

"Hm?"

Tang Zheng paused his steps, turned his head to look across the street, and found no figure worth paying attention to.

Illusion?

As Tang Zheng left, a figure wrapped in a gray, tattered robe in an inconspicuous corner across the street slowly raised its head.

Staring at the departing Tang Zheng with a hidden gaze, not knowing what it was thinking.

From the slender figure faintly visible under the gray robe, it could be seen that it was a woman.

In the next two days.

Under Yi Mi Na's secret continuous spreading of news, more and more people knew that a mysterious alchemist living in the noble district could treat serious injuries left by disabilities.

This instantly caused a stir among the two groups of adventurers and workers.

Especially since the treatment process was free.

If it were just purely "free," for this group of guys who licked blood on the edge of a knife, it would be the most unbelievable, because they never believed that there was such a thing as a free lunch.

But the rumor that the premise of "free" was actually to act as a test subject for the alchemical potions developed by that alchemist, which might very likely cause death.

Such rumors, on the contrary, eliminated the vigilance in most people's hearts. But even so, no one dared to be the first to eat crab.

This led to the news spreading more and more intensely, and even people in most taverns were discussing it, but no one really dared to go to the noble district.

Until the third day!

Two people dressed in poverty knocked on the gate of the courtyard where Tang Zheng lived.

These two were a father and son.

One was a middle-aged man who was only about 30 years old, with dark skin but full white hair, and the other was his son, who was carried in a wooden basket, a teenager whose legs had been amputated.

Once this happened!

The major adventurer squads and worker squads that had been paying attention here immediately took action.

Besides that, there were major workshops and the Herb Guild, and even the Adventurer's Guild sent personnel.

If it were in the past, a mere lowest-level copper-rank adventurer wouldn't be worth paying attention to, but Tang Zheng was not only an adventurer now, but also a highly skilled alchemist.

Under the investigation of various forces, the identities of this father and son were quickly investigated.

They were farmers living in a small village outside the imperial capital; the reason why the son had no legs was that his legs were whipped off by a minor noble a few years ago.

Due to the delay in treatment, it caused necrosis and had to be amputated helplessly.

=9+Shu_Ba

Time passed bit by bit.

Under the patient attention of all parties, it wasn't until near evening that the father and son walked out of the heavy brown gate.

That's right, they walked out.

The farmer's son had actually grown his legs back!

Uproar!

An invisible vibration spread rapidly, and a large number of adventurers and workers had their eyes shining; this kind of alchemical potion was simply a second life for them.

Compared to death, many people feared becoming disabled waste even more!

Also feeling the vibration were the Herb Guild and major pharmaceutical workshops; for them, it was truly incredible.

In the philosophy of all pharmacists, alchemy had always been just an auxiliary, and the solution made by alchemy alone was not of high value.

Even the diluted Regeneration Potion that Tang Zheng sold through Yi Mi Na before didn't count for much to the various parties in the Herb Guild.

What they really cared about was how Tang Zheng used troll blood to create technology with healing effects.

And now!

The appearance of this magical alchemical potion that could regenerate limbs broke the cognition of all pharmacists.

This meant that alchemy was not just a means to assist pharmacists in making healing potions, but an independent system!

As soon as the father and son stepped out of the noble district, before most people could react, a carriage suddenly appeared and took the father and son away.

It wasn't until the next day that the father and son appeared in many people's field of vision again, leaving the imperial capital; clearly, someone had specifically verified the healing effect of the alchemical potion.

The next morning.

Just as the sky was getting bright, someone knocked on the heavy brown gate again.

When Tang Zheng opened the door, he was even startled, because a large group of people had already gathered at the door, some dressed gorgeously, some dressed ordinarily, and there were quite a few strong and fierce-looking adventurers.

But the unified feature of this group of people was that they all had disabilities to varying degrees.

Places like the noble district were usually forbidden areas for adventurers and workers; it wasn't that they weren't allowed to enter, but for this group of people, the environment here really didn't match them.

Tang Zheng scanned these people, looked toward the very back, and the directions on the left and right, where ten soldiers wearing fine armor were scattered.

They were guards specifically patrolling the noble district.

However, these guards were different from usual; they didn't drive away the large number of people gathered here, seeming only to prevent chaos, and didn't interfere with anything else.

Seeing this scene.

Tang Zheng's eyes flashed, he withdrew his gaze from these guards, and looked back at the group of people who were looking at him expectantly.

"One person."

Tang Zheng spat out three words expressionlessly.

The crowd was stunned and immediately understood what Tang Zheng meant; the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became tense.

However, just at this moment!

Tap tap!

Rumble~

The sound of rapid horse hooves and rolling wheels rang out.

A carriage decorated luxuriously and pulled by two horses appeared in everyone's field of vision, interrupting the tense atmosphere at the scene.

The crowd gathered at the door saw that the carriage had no intention of slowing down at all, and their faces showed ugly expressions, but they still took the initiative to clear the road in the middle.

However, unlike what everyone imagined, the luxury carriage stopped on its own when it reached the courtyard gate.

Click!

The wooden door on the carriage was pushed open, and a figure dressed like a butler stepped down from the carriage first, then respectfully took out a stool and placed it on the ground.

Then, a blonde youth holding a ruby scepter, who looked only about 20 years old, stepped down from the carriage.
