Chapter 25

In the evening, a cool breeze blew in from outside the window.

Tang Zheng, who had fallen asleep on the bed, opened his eyes sharply and sat up from the bed.

Hoo~

"Did I have a nightmare?"

Tang Zheng raised his hand to touch the dense sweat on his forehead, exhaled, and muttered to himself in a low voice.

He dreamed of Ainz, standing right in front of him, a pair of scarlet eyes looking at him coldly!

"Damn it!"

Tang Zheng curled his lips and cursed in a low voice.

Ainz is a transmigrator, and Tang Zheng is too. Ainz is a player, and Tang Zheng is too!

"So, why should I be afraid of you!" Tang Zheng took a deep breath, reached out and patted his cheeks to make himself clearer, then got up from the bed and looked out the window.

The sky outside had darkened.

Tang Zheng walked to the window of the guest room and pushed the window open. The cool breeze poured into the room, blowing away much of his irritable mood.

He didn't expect that he would sleep until evening.

This small inn is a two-story European-style building. His location is on the second floor. Through the window, he can see a small alley under the window and the adjacent street.

Outside the window, there are a few wooden railings connected together and extending outward, but they look a bit old and are clearly not sturdy.

A thief with a little means can easily climb to the second floor with the help of the walls on both sides of the alley.

Tang Zheng observed it, shook his head slightly, and closed the window again.

Such a small inn itself cannot prevent any thieves.

Tang Zheng washed his face to make himself more energetic, and then left the guest room.

On the street.

Compared to the daytime, the crowd was much smaller, only teams dressed as adventurers holding weapons walked leisurely on the street.

Tang Zheng had already asked the innkeeper about the location of shops selling various items nearby.

He went to a clothing store first.

Tang Zheng had been wearing the clothes on his body for more than 10 days, and they already had a sour smell. He also needed to prepare a few more clothes for the next trip to the Great Forest of Tob.

When he walked out of the store.

Tang Zheng was holding a full package in his hand and wearing a black robe on his body, covering his whole body.

It cost him three silver coins in total.

The most expensive was the black robe he was wearing, which cost a full one silver and seven copper. The other clothes full in the package were the cheap, coarse linen clothes that Tang Zheng had worn before.

The reason for buying this black robe with better material.

Is because Tang Zheng is going to the Mage's Guild next. It is clearly inappropriate to go there to buy things dressed too poorly.

Within the kingdom, major cities have branches of the Adventurer's Guild and the Mage's Guild.

It's just that!

Unlike the headquarters of the Mage's Guild in the Royal Capital, the branches in other cities do not have many functions for cultivating magic-type magic casters.

Generally, people with the talent of magic-type magic casters will be sent by the Mage's Guild branches of major cities to the headquarters in the Royal Capital for cultivation.

The reason for this situation is naturally because of lack of money!

The relatively traditional folk customs of the Kingdom of Re-Estize make the high-level officials of the entire country not pay much attention to the Mage's Guild, which has led to the Mage's Guild finding it almost difficult to get financial assistance from the upper levels.

Therefore!

The branches of the Mage's Guild in various cities have become places specifically for making magic props, magic scrolls, and selling them.

The Mage's Guild here is a three-story building with an ordinary appearance. If Tang Zheng hadn't specifically asked a passerby, he probably wouldn't have thought that this was a branch of the Mage's Guild.

It is completely different from the bustling appearance of the Adventurer's Guild, and it is even deserted.

There are no guards at the door.

But thinking about it, there should be no one who dares to break into the Mage's Guild.

Tang Zheng came to the dark brown wooden door and just wanted to raise his hand to push the door.

Ding~

A light sound of a bell came from the upper left side of the wooden door.

Tang Zheng looked up and noticed that a bell the size of a fist was hanging above the dark brown wooden door.

He could faintly see a pale red light flashing on the bell from time to time.

Magic prop?

This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind.

Click!

The dark brown wooden door opened automatically.

So that's it.

A flash of enlightenment flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes. It's really convenient, but that bell magic prop shouldn't have just such a simple effect.

Thinking this way, Tang Zheng stepped into the Mage's Guild. Soft light poured in through the door crack, and the interior of the guild was unusually bright.

Compared to the rough and simple Adventurer's Guild, the interior of the Mage's Guild is completely different from its simple appearance.

The entire hall is mainly in red and black tones. The surrounding walls are all covered with a layer of red wooden boards, and only the position near the ground is painted black.

The hall doesn't look big, it should be less than 100 square meters.

From the appearance, the area of the building should be far more than that, and the interior is clearly separated by partitions.

There are six hanging lamps hanging on the left and right walls, and a cylindrical chandelier on the top, which emits soft white light, illuminating the entire hall brightly.

At this moment.

Perhaps because it was evening, there was no one in the Mage's Guild.

Only two middle-aged men in robes were sitting in front of the cargo counter. One was resting his chin and dozing off, and didn't open his eyes because of Tang Zheng's arrival.

The other one is younger.

When Tang Zheng entered the hall of the Mage's Guild, he had already looked over.

"I want to buy some magic scrolls." Tang Zheng walked up and said in a low voice.

Unlike magic props that are expensive and cost about 1000 gold coins, magic scrolls are not too expensive because they are consumables and the production process is relatively perfect.

But precisely because they are consumables!

So, even some slightly wealthy adventurers won't buy them easily.

"My name is Vala, what magic scrolls do you need?"

This young mage named Vala looked Tang Zheng up and down, his tone carrying a bit of laziness.

Pure black hair color is also rare.

"Is there a list? I want to pick one." Tang Zheng bowed slightly and said embarrassedly.

Bang!

It seemed that it had been expected.

Vala pulled out a thin book from below and placed it on the table, then became a bit distracted.

Facing this attitude.

Tang Zheng didn't care, but instead picked up the book on the table and looked through it a bit embarrassedly. He forgot that he actually didn't know the characters of this world.

What caught his eye first was the introduction of zero-rank magic scrolls.

Tang Zheng's originally embarrassed mood also relaxed. There are pictures on it, and even if he doesn't know the characters, he can see the role of the scrolls through the pictures.

There are more zero-rank ones than expected.

Such as: ignite, everlasting light, cleaning, etc., which are completely used for life, and magic scrolls with no attack ability. These zero-rank spells are also dispensable for adventurers.

Heard someone in the "Rock" squad mention it.

Some caravans or nobles will keep some zero-rank magic scrolls when they travel to improve the quality of their travel.

Tang Zheng searched for a while and soon found the zero-rank magic scroll of "Papermaking".

However, he didn't speak to buy it immediately, but continued to look at the content on the book. Next, it was first-rank magic.

The quantity suddenly decreased a lot, but whether it is practicality or function, it has been greatly improved!

"Repair (First Rank)": Can repair damaged objects.

"Odorless (First Rank)": Can clear one's own smell.

"Floating Board (First Rank)": Can create a translucent floating board for carrying items.

…………

"Magic Arrow (First Rank)": Releases three magic arrows to attack.

Tang Zheng looked at the information on the book. There are very few attack-type magic scrolls, only three in total, and most of the other scrolls are used for assistance.

Eh?

Tang Zheng turned to the last page and found that there was no more.

Are there no second-rank magic scrolls?

Tang Zheng was stunned for a short time. If he remembered correctly, based on the scroll manufacturing technology mastered by humans in the other world, they should have the ability to manufacture third-rank magic scrolls.

And in the Slane Theocracy, there is even the manufacturing technology of precious fourth-rank magic scrolls!

Third-rank magic scrolls should be relatively precious resources even for the Mage's Guild, but second-rank scrolls shouldn't be.

So.

Are they not for sale, or are they not sold to the outside world?

Or ordinary buyers don't have the qualifications to buy.
