Chapter 12

For a player, the most important thing was to grind monsters and level up!

But that was playing a game!

In this real other world, especially when his own level was very weak, "safety" was the most important thing for Tang Zheng!

The "Imperial Tournament" had already ended, and the crowds, adventurers, and others attracted by this showdown would also start to leave one after another.

Tang Zheng didn't have any status in the royal capital; it was only because of the showdown between Gazef and the other that there was no situation of checking.

Once the royal capital returned to its original situation, an outsider like him would easily attract attention, not to mention there was no place in the royal capital suitable for grinding monsters and leveling up.

Regarding the subsequent plan,

Tang Zheng intended to head to the frontier city of "E-Rantel" in the "Re-Estize Kingdom," but he knew too little information about the situation of the other world itself.

Along the way, danger would likely appear.

Therefore.

Tang Zheng went to the Adventurer's Guild because he wanted to find an adventurer team that was also heading to "E-Rantel."

In the royal capital.

Besides the luxurious buildings of the nobles near the center of the royal capital, the other huge buildings were the Adventurer's Guild and the Magic Guild built in the commoner area.

So!

It wasn't difficult to find the location of the Adventurer's Guild.

One could tell from the locations of the two major guilds that neither the Adventurer's Guild nor the Magic Guild was valued by the upper echelons of the kingdom.

The national conditions of the Re-Estize Kingdom and the Baharuth Empire had relatively obvious differences.

The Baharuth Empire attached great importance to the use of magic, while the Re-Estize Kingdom was the exact opposite, highly valuing brave warriors.

There was a significant reason for this completely opposite situation.

It was because of Fluder Paradyne, who was known as the "Chief Court Magic Caster" and "National Ace" in the Baharuth Empire, and was one of the only four elders in humanity who had surpassed the Heroic Realm.

The other party had lived for over 260 years and had taught and assisted from the first emperor of the Baharuth Empire until the current Bloody Emperor.

Such influence would inevitably cause the Baharuth Empire to attach importance to magic.

Tang Zheng remembered that Fluder possessed the high-tier class "Sage" and had used this class to perform magic rituals to obtain "longevity."

"Heading to the Baharuth Empire in the future, there's one more high-tier class that needs to be planned." Tang Zheng thought silently in his heart.

The location of the Adventurer's Guild.

Built in the commoner area on the outskirts, this was a square tower-shaped building that was four stories high and very conspicuous.

When Tang Zheng came here, he could clearly see people coming in and out of the gate of the Adventurer's Guild.

Tang Zheng's footsteps paused briefly, and then he walked in.

Instantly!

A noisy atmosphere surged toward him.

The interior of the guild was somewhat more spacious than expected.

Although there were quite a few people, it didn't look crowded, because there were no extra furnishings or furniture in the hall at all.

The floor of the entire Adventurer's Guild was paved with wooden material, and a huge chandelier hung from the ceiling above.

At the position directly facing the entrance was a relatively large front desk, and the staff behind were communicating with several adventurer teams.

Tang Zheng walked into the Adventurer's Guild and noticed several gazes looking toward him, but they were withdrawn at the same time after observing for a while.

Regarding this situation.

Tang Zheng guessed some reasons.

With his poor and sour attire, he didn't look like any powerful adventurer, nor would he be the kind of client who could afford to pay.

It would be strange if anyone paid attention to him.

This was also the reason why Tang Zheng deliberately dressed like this from the beginning to avoid attracting attention.

"How about this request?"

"The reward is too little, and the Adventurer's Guild still has to deduct 20%; if we split it among a few of us, there's not much money."

"How about choosing this request?"

"Hiss, this is a request that only a 'Gold-ranked' adventurer team can choose; shouldn't we be unqualified?" "No, the danger of this request isn't high; it's an escort mission, just the distance is a bit long..."

"Hehe, the reward for this request is considered low among the same rank; if we can complete this request with the number of tasks we've accumulated so far!"

"We should be able to become a 'Gold-ranked' adventurer team!"

Noisy, clamorous sounds constantly sounded from below the request tasks hanging on both sides of the guild walls.

Tang Zheng walked toward the front desk; because there were other adventurer teams waiting in front, Tang Zheng could only queue behind.

While observing the surrounding environment, Tang Zheng recalled information about adventurers in his mind.

The Adventurer's Guild divided adventurer teams into 8 ranks—Copper, Iron, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Mithril, Orichalcum, Adamantite!

These eight ranks of teams actually didn't have obvious level divisions, because teams joining the Adventurer's Guild would only start from "Copper rank," no matter how strong their strength was.

Of course.

As long as you weren't deliberately hiding your strength or didn't intend to increase the team's rank, the rank of the adventurer team could still show the basic level of a team.

He didn't wait long.

It was Tang Zheng's turn; the receptionist in front of him didn't look very old, a girl with slightly curly brown hair and brown eyes.

She looked about the same age as Tang Zheng's current age, only around sixteen or seventeen.

"Hello, what is the name of your adventurer team?"

The brown-haired girl spoke politely, not showing any strange expression because of Tang Zheng's attire and outsider appearance.

"I don't have an adventurer team; I just have something I want to consult about." Tang Zheng said softly.

"Oh, do you want to register an adventurer team?" The brown-haired girl thought she understood Tang Zheng's needs and hurriedly bent down, taking out a paper form that was very rough and somewhat yellowed from below.

"I don't intend to register an adventurer team."

"I just want to ask if there are any merchant caravans or adventurer teams heading to 'E-Rantel'."

Tang Zheng waved his hand and explained.

"Ah?"

The brown-haired girl's action of holding the form paused, and she looked over again, noticing the short sword and leather waterskin hanging on both sides of Tang Zheng's waist; a flash of realization appeared in her eyes.

"You're here to watch the 'Imperial Tournament,' right? I mean, did you rush here from a frontier city?"

"That's really amazing, running so far all by yourself."

"5 copper coins."

The brown-haired girl spoke while raising her somewhat rough palm and placing it before Tang Zheng.

"5 copper coins?"

Tang Zheng paused, somewhat confused.

If he didn't truly not recognize the words of this world, he wouldn't have come to specifically ask the receptionist of the Adventurer's Guild.

He didn't expect that after going to school for more than ten years in his previous life, he was still an illiterate person now.

"Of course, this is the Adventurer's Guild."

"For non-adventurer members, any consultation requires a fee; there are no two words like 'free' here."

The brown-haired girl squeezed a serious expression on her little face.

As a large organization that existed across countries without being bound by any country, the power of the Adventurer's Guild didn't just come from those powerful adventurers.

But from the invisible intelligence network constructed by a large number of adventurer members.

Outsiders wanting to obtain this intelligence naturally needed to pay a fee, and even many precious pieces of intelligence were something money couldn't measure.

This was also why the Adventurer's Guild wasn't well-regarded by the upper echelons of various countries, but at the same time, they secretly cooperated with it!

Tang Zheng remembered that there seemed to be the shadow of the Slane Theocracy behind the Adventurer's Guild.
