Chapter 15: Traveling Together, Leaving the Royal Capital

Nfirea did not hesitate, appearing quite interested in Tang Zheng, a peer not much older than himself. "I need to discuss this matter with my grandmother; you all may follow along."

Having said this.

Nfirea turned around and walked quickly toward the exit of the Adventurer's Guild.

"Let's follow them as well, it's a good chance to meet the client." Captain Da Sa Li spoke to the other three members, then looked at Tang Zheng and smiled heartily, "Coming?"

Tang Zheng nodded slightly.

Captain Da Sa Li walked side-by-side with Tang Zheng toward the exit of the hall, with the other three members following closely behind, as if shielding Tang Zheng.

Ever since Tang Zheng revealed his healing magic, quite a few adventurer parties had already been itching to make a move.

At this moment.

The actions of the "Rock" party made many surrounding adventurer parties curse inwardly.

At the reception desk.

The brown-haired girl Da Ya watched Tang Zheng leave with the "Rock" party, her brown eyes revealing a touch of envy and sorrow.

"How impressive. You really can't tell from the outside, he's actually a faith-based magic caster. If only my younger brother..."

Da Ya whispered to herself, but soon put on a professional smile again to attend to other adventurers.

Outside the gate of the Adventurer's Guild.

A cargo wagon was parked there; the somewhat old wooden cart was piled high with goods, with wooden boxes of various sizes at the bottom and a layer of dry, straw-like plants spread on top.

As soon as one approached the wagon, a thick, somewhat pungent herbal scent could be smelled!

Sitting at the very front of the wagon, holding a horsewhip with a light green headscarf wrapped around her head, was Nfirea's grandmother, Lizzie.

Tang Zheng and the members of the "Rock" party walked out of the gate and saw Nfirea talking to his grandmother Lizzie, clearly telling her what had happened in the adventurer's hall just now.

Tang Zheng and the others did not go over immediately, but waited near the back of the wagon.

They did not wait long.

Nfirea walked over with a somewhat happy expression on his face.

"Grandmother agreed, Tang, you can come along."

"However, Grandmother wants you to demonstrate your healing magic in front of her again," Nfirea said with a smile.

"No problem," Tang Zheng said softly.

Compared to randomly following a merchant caravan or an adventurer team to E-Rantel, following this pair of grandmother and grandson, whom he knew the background of, was more reassuring.

What's more!

Nfirea's grandmother, Lizzie, was a magic caster capable of using third-tier magic!

Tang Zheng followed Nfirea to the front of his grandmother, Lizzie.

Her wrinkled face and white hair made her look very old; her expressionless demeanor and slightly protruding jawbones made Grandmother Lizzie look difficult to get along with.

In reality.

Someone who could raise a person with Nfirea's gentle personality could not have a personality that was too bad herself.

"Where are you from? Black hair and black-brown eyes are quite rare throughout the entire Kingdom."

Grandmother Lizzie looked at Tang Zheng expressionlessly.

Hearing this.

Tang Zheng was taken aback; this was not easy to answer.

"Forget it, it's a trivial matter. Cast your healing magic on this horse of mine."

Grandmother Lizzie narrowed her eyes slightly and pointed to the black horse pulling the wagon.

This horse looked a bit old; on its neck, it seemed that a visible depression had formed due to years of pulling the cart.

There was even less hair on the horse's rump, and a few red marks could faintly be seen.

"Alright."

Tang Zheng did not waste words; he raised his palm toward the black horse: "Lesser Healing."

The mana he could clearly feel in his body was suddenly drained by the majority!

A soft white light was released, enveloping the black horse, and the red marks on its rump were quickly healed and disappeared.

"Pfft!"

The black horse shook its head and snorted, appearing very comfortable. *Hoo~*

Tang Zheng let out a breath.

Although he did not feel exhausted, the mana in his body was almost depleted.

The first-tier "Lesser Healing" required 5 points of mana, and adding the one he demonstrated in the Adventurer's Guild hall earlier, he had already used it twice.

And his mana was only 13 points; even if he were asked to use it again, he couldn't!

Tang Zheng glanced at the MP value on his attribute panel; from the first time he used "Lesser Healing" until now, it hadn't recovered even 1 MP.

The speed of automatic mana recovery was much slower than Tang Zheng had expected!

It might also be because he currently lacked a magic class.

Although the "Genius" class could be converted into any basic class, it clearly did not come with the attribute bonuses or effects provided by other classes.

"Hmm." Grandmother Lizzie nodded then, squeezing a smile onto her wrinkled cheeks, "It looks like the speed of returning to E-Rantel can be increased a bit. Let's set off."

After saying this.

Grandmother Lizzie stopped paying attention to Tang Zheng and shouted to Nfirea. After Nfirea climbed onto the wagon and sat beside Grandmother Lizzie.

*Snap!*

Accompanied by the sound of a whip cracking against the horse.

The wooden wheels pressed against the stone bricks on the ground, and they set off with a "creak, creak" sound.

=9+Shu_ba

Tang Zheng and the members of the "Rock" party could only follow closely behind; they clearly hadn't been invited onto the wagon!

Fortunately.

The wagon, already loaded with goods, couldn't run fast anyway.

May 17th, 4 years B.C.

The second day of Tang Zheng's transmigration, he left the Royal Capital.

Within the Re-Estize Kingdom, most areas were primarily plains, while the north and west bordered the sea, possessing two huge port cities.

The Kingdom was primarily populated by humans, and the number of demi-humans was very scarce, which was related to the Kingdom's populace's aversion to other races.

It is said that in recent years.

The Slane Theocracy in the south was at war with the Elf Kingdom further south, and from time to time, Wood Elves were sold to the Re-Estize and Baharuth nations.

The price was quite expensive, generally over 300 gold coins.

That was just for ordinary Wood Elves; some Wood Elves who possessed professional skills could fetch prices of over 1000 gold coins.

It is said that such Wood Elves were sold entirely as "living magic items."

Three days had passed since their group left the Royal Capital; this information was mentioned by Tang Zheng during his exchanges with the members of the "Rock" party.

The members of the "Rock" party also seemed to intend to get closer to Tang Zheng, so they answered almost every question he asked regarding simple matters.

Therefore.

Tang Zheng also indirectly learned some basic common sense and information about this world.

There had been no danger along the way, perhaps because they were in the heart of the Kingdom.

After a few days of contact.

Beyond some basic familiarity with each other, Tang Zheng finally understood why Grandmother Lizzie, despite being a person capable of using third-tier magic, still hired adventurers.

Because they were needed for manual labor!

The cartload of medicinal herbs they were pulling needed to be taken out to dry for a bit of time every day.

And the work of moving goods up and down naturally fell to the "Rock" party; for this reason, Captain Da Sa Li had complained to Tang Zheng in private several times.

As for Tang Zheng.

He naturally wasn't idle either; during the time for drying herbs and the time for resting at night, he was required to use healing magic on the horse.

It wasn't just to heal the shallow wounds from the whip lashes.

According to Grandmother Lizzie, healing magic could not only restore injuries but also restore a portion of the patient's stamina.

This situation made Tang Zheng realize that the performance of skills in the game was still somewhat different from the real world.

At the same time, due to the continuous consumption of mana.

Tang Zheng also observed the state of his own mana recovery, which was about one point per hour.
