Chapter 14: Surprised Crowd, the Rock Adventurer Party

Hearing the sound from behind, Nfirea turned his head in a daze.

The four adventurers nearby had actually noticed Tang Zheng walking over long ago, but they hadn't paid much attention at first, assuming he was just passing by.

They hadn't expected Tang Zheng to come directly to them.

The four pairs of eyes fell upon Tang Zheng in unison, observing him.

They had just accepted a commission, and although it was highly unlikely for anyone to attack a client within the Adventurer's Guild,

the necessary vigilance was still required.

"It's you?"

Nfirea’s bright blue eyes looked at Tang Zheng, filled with surprise; he clearly recognized the person he had encountered on the road earlier.

After all, black hair was far too rare; it would be difficult not to recognize him.

"Thank you for the waterskin," Tang Zheng said softly with a smile.

"Don't be so formal; I'm just glad I could help."

Nfirea also noticed the waterskin hanging at Tang Zheng's waist and scratched his hair, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Tang Zheng spoke to Nfirea while casting his gaze toward the four adventurers nearby, "Sorry, I heard your conversation just now. You are heading to E-Rantel, right? I wonder if I might join you?"

As soon as these words were spoken,

the group was stunned for a moment.

A look of hesitation appeared on Nfirea's face; he personally didn't mind, but this matter required his grandmother's consent.

As for the other four adventurers, no emotional change could be seen on their faces, though their lack of expression was an answer in itself.

Regarding this situation,

Tang Zheng had already anticipated it; he had noticed earlier that this four-person adventurer party had a problem with their role composition.

"My words just now were indeed a bit abrupt."

"However..." Tang Zheng paused here, then raised his palm and spoke softly: "Minor Healing."

A soft white light emerged from his palm, emitting a warm glow!

The four adventurers, who had been expressionless, saw their eyes light up in unison, and they looked at Tang Zheng with surprise and astonishment.

"A Faith-based magic caster?"

One of them even let out a small exclamation.

The healing magic Tang Zheng suddenly cast also instantly drew the gazes of many people in the Adventurer's Guild hall.

In "Overlord" and the New World, professions are generally divided into two major categories: warrior-type professions and caster-type professions.

Among them, warrior-type professions can be further subdivided into combat, defensive, archer, thief, and so on.

Casters are subdivided into four major categories: Magic-based, Faith-based, Spirit-based, and others.

Generally, casters who possess healing abilities are recognized by the people of the New World as Faith-based magic casters.

Adventuring is a very dangerous profession, and in the process of accepting commissions, combat is likely to occur in most situations.

Once injured, even a small wound, if not treated in time, could very likely lead to death or even amputation.

This has resulted in adventurers keeping healing potions on hand regardless of whether they are well-off, even though such potions are very expensive; there is simply no other way.

Of course!

If a party possesses a caster capable of using "Healing Magic," it is not just a matter of saving money, but it can also greatly increase the team's survival rate.

But Faith-based magic casters are far fewer in number than Magic-based magic casters!

In the game, different magic casters were no different, as they all consumed MP, or magic power values.

But in the New World,

some of the game's background settings have become reality; just as the use of martial arts requires the consumption of "Focus," the situation for Faith-based magic casters is similar.

Therefore, once a Faith-based magic caster appears, they are always invited by powerful adventurer parties, while some weaker parties don't even have the qualifications to extend an invitation.

Tang Zheng did not seem to notice the pleasantly surprised gazes of the four adventurers; after releasing the magic, he took out the short sword hanging at his waist on his own.

"I have also mastered a certain level of swordsmanship, so I will not hold you all back."

As Tang Zheng spoke, his fingers holding the short sword moved.

The short sword flipped nimbly up and down in Tang Zheng's palm, looking as if he had undergone specialized training.

In reality!

Before watching the "Imperial Tournament," Tang Zheng's application of the short sword was quite clumsy.

After all, he hadn't practiced it in his previous life.

However!

After Tang Zheng obtained the "Sword Saint" profession, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity with sword-type weapons, as if he had trained for a long time.

The people present saw the skillful movements with the short sword and understood that Tang Zheng also possessed certain combat skills.

After finishing all this,

Tang Zheng nimbly tucked the short sword back into his waist and then looked at Nfirea and the others.

=9+Shu_ba

Especially noticing the pleasantly surprised and satisfied gazes of the four adventurers, Tang Zheng let out a heavy sigh of relief; it seemed there was no problem with the adventurer party side.

"So amazing!"

Nfirea couldn't help but widen his eyes, his bright blue pupils looking at Tang Zheng as he exclaimed.

He hadn't expected that the person he had helped casually was actually a Faith-based magic caster who mastered healing magic.

And he also seemed to have mastered impressive swordsmanship!

Is this what a genius is?

Judging solely from Tang Zheng's attire and appearance, it was truly unexpected.

Grandmother was right after all.

Just like medicinal herbs, you cannot judge them solely by their appearance!

At this moment,

the leader of the four adventurers, a blond man, walked over.

This blond man looked to be only about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with slightly curly whiskers on his mouth and chin, and he looked very cheerful.

The man wore a layer of armor on his upper body, belonging to the light armor category, with no protection on his lower body, and a long sword weapon was strapped to each side of his waist.

Tang Zheng guessed that he should possess the "Light Warrior" profession.

"My name is Dosari, and these three are my good friends, also members of this adventurer party," the leader Dosari said with a beaming smile.

"My name is Bask."

"I am Luer."

"Land."

The remaining three introduced themselves in turn.

Tang Zheng looked at them one by one; they were all about the same age. Although the four did not introduce their professions, one could guess from their attire that this adventurer party not only lacked a healer but also lacked any casters.

Luer and Land looked somewhat similar, both having the same light-gold hair color; they were likely twins, and both had a silver shield strapped to their left and right arms respectively.

The other one, named Bask, was an archer.

"Our adventurer party is called 'Rock,' and just like the name, we are quite good at defensive battles."

The leader Dosari not only had the members introduce themselves but even took the initiative to tell Tang Zheng what his adventurer party excelled at.

This kind of enthusiasm hadn't even been shown to Nfirea, who was the client!

Tang Zheng naturally knew the reason for the other party's enthusiasm.

"My name is Tang," Tang Zheng nodded simply, not saying much more.

"We have no problem here," the leader Dosari said, still full of smiles, while glancing at Nfirea.

Clearly, he was saying that as long as the client agreed, it was fine.
