Chapter 118

Recruiting?

Tang Zheng didn't expect Reynas to ask this suddenly; after thinking for a short while, he shook his head.

He had too many secrets, and joining the Adventurer's Guild was just for convenience anyway.

"Sorry, I don't have any plans to recruit." Tang Zheng refused.

"Is that so."

Hearing this, a look of disappointment flashed in Reynas's eyes, and she bit her lip slightly: "Regarding the reward..."

"Three thousand... two thousand gold coins."

Tang Zheng's eyes lit up, he opened his mouth, and quoted a lower price.

He was very short of money right now; besides gold coins, Reynas couldn't provide any other rewards that interested him.

And as for the money, how much money would someone who was kicked out of their family and wandering around have?

"Two thousand gold coins?"

Hearing this number of gold coins, Reynas's voice became a bit higher, as if she had been stimulated by something; she raised her right arm to her left shoulder and bowed deeply to Tang Zheng.

"Regarding the reward, I decided on that a long time ago."

Immediately after.

Reynas picked up her black spear and turned to leave.

"What does that mean?" Tang Zheng didn't understand what Reynas wanted to do for a moment.

Just left like that?

So... there aren't even two thousand gold coins, is that it?

…………

Lower Fire Month, August 31st.

When Tang Zheng returned to the Imperial Capital, it was already the end of August.

He and Reynas had left the Imperial Capital on August 24th, and seven days had passed since his return.

Of course.

This time, only Tang Zheng returned to the Imperial Capital alone; as for Reynas, she disappeared after running away inexplicably.

Noble District, residence.

In the first-floor hall.

"You're finally back, Mr. Alchemist." Yi Mi Na crossed her arms over her chest and spoke in a cold tone.

"Sorry, it did take a bit longer than expected."

Tang Zheng smiled helplessly and reached out to stroke the little evil spirit dog that kept rubbing against his leg: "What happened during this time?"

"The people from the Herb Guild came to invite you again the day after you left the Imperial Capital."

"Then it was the Adventurer's Guild."

"The rest were all workers and adventurer parties wanting to use the regeneration potion you researched to treat their disabilities."

"Of course, there were also some nobles."

Yi Mi Na stretched out her slender palms, counting on her fingers one by one, and quickly recounted what had happened during this time.

"I rejected all of these for you; as for the reason, according to what you said in advance, I said you were researching a new potion, and also mentioned the situation of insufficient blood provided by trolls, making it impossible to produce more regeneration potions."

"Of course, these weren't any trouble."

Yi Mi Na took an exquisite invitation out of her pocket, flicked it toward Tang Zheng, and said seriously: "This is the real trouble."

Tang Zheng reached out and took the flying invitation, opened it to look at the content, and incidentally activated "Interpret Magic".

"Osk?"

Seeing this name, a thoughtful look appeared in Tang Zheng's eyes; he felt this name was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

"The biggest merchant in the Imperial Capital, the organizer of the arena."

Yi Mi Na reminded him.

"According to the time on it, the banquet was held two days ago at the highest-grade hotel in the Empire." "Don't worry, the time has long since passed."

"Congratulations, you've offended one of the people in the entire Imperial Capital you most shouldn't provoke." Yi Mi Na said expressionlessly.

Tang Zheng was dumbfounded, but he didn't care in his heart.

Just a merchant with a background; he wasn't really planning to make a living in the Baharuth Empire anyway.

With his current strength, even without showing everything, just by using "Angel Summoning", it was enough to reach the level of a "Mythril-ranked" adventurer in the Adventurer's Guild's assessment.

He was just one step away from the top-tier "Adamantite-ranked" adventurers.

You have to know, there were only two teams in the entire Baharuth Empire that reached "Adamantite-ranked" adventurers, and both were achieved through numerical superiority and job complementarity.

And Adamantite-ranked adventurers didn't just represent status; they were also a symbol of strength, and their value was much higher than that of a big merchant in a country.

Speaking of which.

In terms of overall national strength, the Baharuth Empire was indeed a notch stronger than the Re-Estize Kingdom, but in terms of high-end combat power, it was a bit weaker.

"Has anyone from the Wang Gong been here?" Tang Zheng asked; this was what he really cared about.

=9+Shu_ba

The "Cursed Knight" was already in hand, but the "Immortal" job still had no clues so far.

Unlike Reynas's situation, Tang Zheng could only passively wait for Fluder.

He had already stayed in the Baharuth Empire for a month; it was impossible to continue wasting time gambling on this uncertainty.

"Wang Gong?"

Yi Mi Na looked at Tang Zheng in surprise and shook her head, "No."

Tang Zheng was a bit disappointed.

The commotion he had caused so far was not small, and he had also treated several disabled nobles; with the Bloody Emperor's ability, it was impossible for him not to notice.

As a result, there had been no movement until now.

"Hey, what you should care about now is another matter." Yi Mi Na's amber pupils revealed solemnity as she reminded him,

"Some time ago, after the news that there was insufficient troll blood to make regeneration potions spread, some nobles specifically brought captured trolls over."

"Eh?"

Tang Zheng raised his head and looked around the courtyard, finding that besides the weak troll that was tied up, there were no other trolls.

"Don't look, the other party turned back halfway." Yi Mi Na flicked her purple ponytail.

"Is this Osk's doing?" Tang Zheng's gaze paused, and he frowned.

"To be precise, it's the 'Wu Wang' Go-Jin." A look of respect and solemnity flashed across Yi Mi Na's face.

The "Wu Wang" Go-Jin could be said to be the most famous person in the entire Baharuth Empire, especially since he was a demi-human who relied on unparalleled strength to shock the entire Empire.

He had become a symbol of the Empire!

For Yi Mi Na, who was a half-elf, this was even more legendary.

"Wu Wang" Go-Jin?

A look of seriousness also appeared on Tang Zheng's face; he didn't expect the other party to care about ordinary trolls.

Among the people in the entire Baharuth Empire truly worth noting, the "Wu Wang" Go-Jin definitely counted as one of them.

The other party had already reached the Heroic Realm; calculating by level, he was at least level 30 or above, especially since he was a demi-human with attribute bonuses.

His true strength was stronger than humans of the same level.

One of the three rulers of the Great Forest of Tob, the strength of the "Giant of the East" Gu, was not as strong as the "Wu Wang" Go-Jin.

In the words of the Bone King, it was the difference between a wild boar and a meat pig!

"According to rumors outside, it's because of the 'Wu Wang' Go-Jin that you had to stop selling alchemical potions made from troll blood."

Yi Mi Na gritted her teeth in anger; she naturally knew the real reason, but such rumors were clearly more credible in the eyes of people outside.

The current Bloody Emperor Jircniv was the biggest supporter of the "Wu Wang" Go-Jin, which was no secret to the people of the Imperial Capital.

Once such a rumor appeared.

Regardless of whether it was true or false, even if someone wanted to befriend Tang Zheng, this genius alchemist, they would have to extinguish the thought.

"Damn it!"

Yi Mi Na said angrily, "I'm afraid it was this group of people who made it impossible to buy trolls for some time."
