Chapter 245

Imina walked a few steps quickly, caught up with Tang Zheng who had walked to the front, and cast her narrow eyes toward Tang Zheng's profile, this figure who looked gentle and integrated into this lively celebration atmosphere.

Don't know why!

Imina always felt that the man in front of her was an unfathomable person; his age didn't look big, as if there was an invisible barrier between him and everyone else.

"What exactly do you want to do, Tang?" Imina bit her lip and suddenly said softly.

"What?"

Seemingly because of the overly noisy clamor around, Tang Zheng didn't hear Imina's inquiry clearly, turned his head, and asked in confusion.

Didn't hear it clearly, really?

Clearly not; they weren't ordinary people.

"Nothing," Imina opened her mouth, then said lightly.

Didn't walk far.

Tang Zheng's footsteps paused, stopping in front of a stall, on which various brightly colored decorations were placed.

Imina was a little puzzled, looking at the items on the stall; most were some women's accessories, and the value was not high.

"How much for this hairband?"

Tang Zheng looked at the stall owner, pointing to a black ring-shaped hairband with golden silk decorative patterns in the middle among the items.

"Two silver coins," the stall owner looked up, looked at Tang Zheng and the two, his eyes brightened, and he spoke immediately.

Hearing this price.

Imina frowned; this hairband clearly wasn't worth this money, but what made her even more curious was what he was doing buying this gift-like hairband.

Tang Zheng nodded, didn't bargain, took out two silver coins from his pocket and handed them over.

The owner was stunned, his face immediately piled with smiles, and he quickly took out an exquisite gift box from the side and put the hairband inside.

Tang Zheng took the gift box, opened it again, and while taking the hairband into his hand, a flash of magic power light flashed in his palm.

"Magic Mark."

After releasing the magic.

Tang Zheng put the hairband back into the gift box and handed it to Imina on the side.

"Who buys a gift for someone else in front of them?" Imina was stunned, but her eyes were bright, and she took the gift box without hesitation.

"Not for you, help me send it to Reynas," Tang Zheng said calmly: "There is magic I left behind on it; I already cast it on you before."

Imina's face turned black: "Then what about my gift?"

Clearly, Imina didn't care about the magic at all.

"This one is for you."

Tang Zheng flipped his palm, as if performing magic. He took out a wine pot with a wooden stopper from the item box:

"This is wine brewed using dwarf technology; count it as my unexpected gain before."

He put the treasure of the lizardmen, "the big pot for holding wine," among the group of dwarves in the lava zone, letting them drink it.

After drinking for a long time, these dwarves felt the degree was too low, and refined it using dwarf brewing technology.

"Who gives a wine pot to a girl!"

Imina looked at the wine pot handed over, her amber pupils moved, and while complaining, she quickly took the wine pot into her hand.

The pointed ears hidden in the hood were a bit red at this moment.

Her biggest hobby was liking to drink, but this matter, logically speaking, Tang Zheng shouldn't know, because she had never drunk in front of him.

After all, her drinking quality was too poor; when she was in the Imperial Capital, she often quarreled with others because of drinking, and even did many things that made Imina feel ashamed.

This pot of wine might not be of high value, but it was clearly prepared with care.

Imina carefully stole a glance at Tang Zheng, held the wine pot in her hand tighter, pretended not to care, and said: "For the sake of giving me a gift, there is still good news to tell you."

"Then let's go."

Tang Zheng's footsteps paused, his gaze fixed on Imina.

"That, don't notify them?" Imina faced the gaze of the black eyes, subconsciously not daring to look directly.

"With Miss Cuiye, there is no need to worry about safety," Tang Zheng turned his head, looked at Enri and the Witch of the Miss Cuiye who were in high spirits in the crowd, and said softly.

The figures of the two disappeared quickly in the crowd.

"Where is the lord? Why didn't I see him? He was clearly following behind just now."

Enri realized later, turned her head to look for Tang Zheng's figure, and found that she couldn't find him no matter what.

"The lord has his own things to do," the Witch of the Miss Cuiye said coldly.

"Oh."

Enri was somewhat disappointed, and soon saw the flow of people gathered in the distance, her eyes brightened: "Ms. Miss Cuiye, look over there."

While speaking.

Enri happily took the Witch of the Miss Cuiye's hand and rushed toward the front; in the whole process, the Witch of the Miss Cuiye rarely did not resist.

It seemed Enri was born with an ability to make people feel close.

Outside the Royal Capital.

In a manor controlled by the "Eight Fingers: Security Department."

A group of mages dressed as magic casters were releasing magic below, showing their abilities.

The top floor of the manor.

Tang Zheng and Imina stood by the window, staring at the scene below.

"How is it? Is there anyone who satisfies you?" Imina looked at Tang Zheng, who was thinking, with some expectation.

At this moment.

Tang Zheng looked at the prompt information flashing one by one on the "Attribute Panel," consuming skill points to master.

Magic Power System:

【Illusionist】 "Feigned Death" (Third Tier): Create an illusion that makes the opponent think they have killed the caster.

【Court Mage】 "Hot Spring" (Third Tier): Life magic creates a hot spring, which can be used to soak and relieve fatigue.

Believer:

【Goddess Priestess】 "Dispel" (Third Tier): Dispel summoned objects, depending on the level, resistance, and skills of both sides.

【Priest】 "Sunlight" (Third Tier): Create blinding light to cause a blinding effect. And cause certain damage to undead creatures.

【Beast Speaker】 "Animal Communication" (Third Tier): Can communicate with wild animals.

【Skill Points: 66→61】

Tang Zheng finally picked out skills with some value from the numerous magic casters below, thereby acquiring basic professions.

"Consumption of five skill points," Tang Zheng felt a bit of a pity.

He had never extensively acquired some basic professions because of the preciousness of skill points, but now he had to use them.

Because the number of high-level professions was too small.

As expected.

The number of magic casters who mastered both "Magic Power System" and "Faith System" was the largest, so it was easy to satisfy these two systems.

However!

Among these magic casters Imina brought, there was not a single "Spirit System" or "Other System" magic caster. Tang Zheng knew from the beginning that the number of magic casters who mastered these two magic systems was rare, but he didn't expect it to be this rare.

Nowadays, his four major magic systems:

Magic Power System: Pharmacist, Alchemist, Mage, Necromancer, Warlock, Illusionist, Court Mage.

Believer: Priestess, Priest, Forest Priest, Divine Official, Goddess Priestess, Priest, Beast Speaker

Spirit System: Wizard, Witch

Other System: Shaman, Summoner

"Magic Power System" and "Believer" could already use Tenth-Tier magic; acquiring basic professions for the other two systems didn't have much meaning anymore.

Unless there was some basic profession with huge value.

Because going further up, it was the realm of Super-Tier magic, which had nothing to do with Tier magic, and also had the prerequisite condition that the player level must reach 70.

Because after players reach level 70, they can learn one Super-Tier magic for every level they increase; in the game, the number of Super-Tier magic a player can master is only 30.

"Stop."

!

Withdrawing his gaze from the magic casters below, Tang Zheng said softly.

"Yes," Imina nodded, exposed half of her head from the window, and signaled toward a direction in the courtyard below.

"Didn't find the magic caster you wanted?" Imina could see that Tang Zheng was not satisfied.

"Not enough."

Tang Zheng shook his head, wanted to continue speaking, and suddenly pondered.

In the other world, the classification of different magic caster systems was actually not that clear, not to mention Imina, who was not a magic caster, might not know what "Spirit System" or "Other System" magic casters were.

"What I need are those casters who master some strange magic abilities and are different from normal magic casters."

After briefly organizing the language, Tang Zheng continued.

A look of realization appeared in Imina's amber pupils: "I understand. Nowadays, it happens to be the Day of Celebration; among the many magic casters rushing from all over the country, perhaps there are the casters the lord needs."

"Trouble you, Imina."

Tang Zheng smiled, but in his heart, he didn't hold much expectation that he could easily gather them.

"Spirit System" and "Other System" were each missing five basic professions; wanting to gather them was not a simple thing.

Actually, there was another method that could compress the number of basic professions.

That was to raise 【Genius】 to the full level of 15lv; in this way, the acquisition of the number of professions could be reduced.

However!

Compared to the consumption of skill points, five levels were clearly more precious.

"The warehouses in the six great noble regions are already being purchased, and several locations have already been bought, while some food like rotten grain is being prepared, and it still needs some time."

Imina continued to report the second thing Tang Zheng entrusted.

"En," Tang Zheng.

He also knew that this matter was more complex and time-consuming, and it couldn't be completed in a mere ten days or so.

Imina smiled: "Three demi-human slaves who master the 'Wild Transformation' ability have been bought; don't know if it's enough."

Tang Zheng's gaze paused, looking at Imina dumbfoundedly: "I really want to praise you now; you really have the style of a worker."

"Less of that."

Imina rolled her eyes, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

This was also the benefit of borrowing the power of "Eight Fingers," which could easily do many things that were both difficult and troublesome to do with personal power before.

Regarding the location of the three demi-human slaves, they were in a hidden warehouse in the manor.

First to enter the eyes.

Were three two-meter-high metal cages, inside which were three figures with bodies similar to humans, skin and bones.

These three demi-humans looked like monkeys, with long ears, and their whole bodies were gray-brown hair, full of wild atmosphere.

Seeing the appearance of Tang Zheng and Imina, these three demi-humans were clearly weak in aura, yet still waved their arms to knock on the iron cage, emitting a "dong-dong" muffled sound.

"Looks quite like a monkey."

Tang Zheng was seeing such a demi-human race for the first time.

"They are hobgoblins, considered close relatives of goblins, a race that is low in intelligence and relatively barbaric. These three are rare hobgoblins with magic caster abilities in the entire race."

"Obtained from the information from the smuggling department and slave department of 'Eight Fingers,' it is said that they were captured in a demi-human tribe destroyed by the Slane Theocracy."

"Compared to ordinary strong hobgoblins who can be used as labor, these three are smarter, but perhaps because they are casters, they are thin and unable to engage in physical activities."

Imina pointed to the hobgoblins in the cage and introduced:

"And they are smarter than ordinary hobgoblins, and also harder to tame, which led to them not being sold, counting as a lucky pick."

Deep in the Great Wetland.

In the dense forest where the twin witches were originally located.

Tang Zheng threw the three hobgoblins, covered in various wounds from whips and other things, weak, onto the ground.

This time he didn't go to the lava zone because the environment there wasn't suitable for the experiment that followed, and the dense forest had various magical beasts that could be used directly as materials.

A touch of crimson light rose from the east.

Tang Zheng looked up, saw the sun that had already emerged from the east, narrowed his eyes slightly: "There are still three years!"

New Calendar Year 3, January 1st!

"Serious Healing"!

Tang Zheng raised his wrist and released healing magic on one of the hobgoblins.

Pure white healing light released.

The wounds on this hobgoblin recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye,

"Woo!"

The first time the hobgoblin recovered consciousness, it bared its sharp teeth, looked at Tang Zheng fiercely, and then turned to prepare to escape.

"Charm All Races."

Tang Zheng released magic indifferently.

The hobgoblin's movements paused, its gaze instantly became dull, and it stood in place honestly, shaking its arms.

"This magic ritual is much more complex, the materials are prepared properly, next let's see how the effect is."

Tang Zheng took out the magic ritual he had obtained from the forest gnome from the item box, scanned the ritual content he had already memorized seriously, and confirmed that no details were missed.

This magic ritual could allow forest gnomes to obtain the ability to transform into a magical beast that exceeded their own body size limit at the cost of abandoning the complete ability of "Wild Transformation."

For example, that forest gnome named Dagan Stone Lizard used this magic ritual to transform into a petrified lizard that was more powerful in both body size and strength.

Although he had already seen successful cases.

Tang Zheng still wanted to experiment and confirm it again to observe the specific situation of the ritual.

During this period, the large amount of alchemy materials he had Enri and the twin witches buy were also prepared for this.

According to the steps of the magic ritual.

Tang Zheng arranged the entire ritual step by step, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
