Chapter 264

"Ri-Lobeil".

The most border city in the southwest of the Re-Estize Kingdom, known as the "Harbor City," possesses extremely prosperous trade and shipping routes, and one can even take a boat directly to the Holy Kingdom.

It is about five days' journey from the border town "Ye Yi Wu Er."

At this moment.

The "Free Will" adventurer squad is staying in the most luxurious hotel in the city, and the appearance of the squad has caused a great sensation in the city.

The sense of smell of merchants and nobles has always been the sharpest, and essentially it is attributed to information acquisition channels far beyond ordinary people.

The value brought by purely powerful adventurers is limited.

And the value represented by a "genius alchemist" who can make alchemy potions that no one else can manufacture no longer needs to be verified.

The impact and gold coins brought by "Regeneration Potion" in the Royal Capital had long made countless nobles and merchants greedy.

Facing the arrival of "Free Will," these merchants and nobles naturally scrambled to visit.

Tang Zheng had already returned from the hilly area one step ahead, and the journey on the road allowed people disguised as his appearance to show their faces from time to time.

And more detailed things like going to the Adventurer's Guild and communicating with these nobles and merchants required him to come forward in person.

Wasted most of the day.

Tang Zheng finally freed himself from these trivial matters and returned to the luxury hotel with the Miss Cuiye Witch and Anri.

Inside the room.

"My lord, this is warm boiled water." Anri held the water cup and happily handed it over.

Tang Zheng took the water cup and nodded slightly to Anri: "Well, I plan to stay here for a few days, and you will have to work hard next."

The Miss Cuiye Witch and Anri naturally would not have any objections.

"It's the lord who is working hard."

Anri said softly, looking at Tang Zheng with admiration and worry in her eyes.

Most of the time on the road, the lord was studying alchemy in the carriage and rarely appeared, compared to the task of just running errands.

Anri felt that Tang Zheng was the hardest working.

As a salesperson, she personally handed those cheap alchemy potions to the poor, knowing that the potions made by the lord had helped many people.

But no matter how hard one person tries, they cannot save all the poor people.

The lord's strength is powerful enough to summon holy angels, and he possesses magical alchemy techniques to make cheap potions.

Since joining "Free Will," Anri has seen too many things along the way, and many questions she was confused and didn't understand before have gradually been understood, and she has even learned to think.

Precisely because of this.

Anri felt from the bottom of her heart that the lord was the best person in the world, and the only thing that troubled her was that she couldn't help the lord better.

After Anri and the Miss Cuiye Witch finished listening to some of Tang Zheng's instructions, they retreated from the room.

"Creak—crack!"

The door closed.

Tang Zheng raised his hands to rub his temples and exhaled lightly: "These troublesome little things are finally solved."

With the experience of the Royal Capital, Anri and the Miss Cuiye Witch can handle it calmly.

Got up and walked to the window.

Tang Zheng took a sip of the water cup Anri handed him, looked out the window, but there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The current matter is still the Abelion Hills.

Only about three years left.

Tang Zheng knew that the "boiling a frog in warm water" method was not suitable for him at all.

Controlling a region or a country is not his ultimate goal; before the "Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick" descends, he will not let himself be put in the foreground.

"Wu Wang" Go Jin is the demi-human Tang Zheng chose to push to the foreground to control or influence the entire Abelion Hills.

Tang Zheng has many purposes for doing this; the script he is currently constructing is not just the Abelion Hills.

As the central area of the Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy, these two countries are also in his script.

One of the main purposes is to establish contact with the Slane Theocracy through the figure of the adventurer Tang of "Free Will."

This "contact" cannot be initiated by him, but by the Slane Theocracy as the active party.

"There are too many characters in the script, and the real trend may not follow the real script, but as long as the main line has no problems, other things can be played by oneself."

Tang Zheng's eyes flashed, and he smiled calmly: "After all, I am at most a small character in this script."

He received a lot of suggestions from Princess Lana; many of these suggestions were not feasible for him, or were too time-consuming, but some could be applied.

"Just."

Tang Zheng looked down at the bustling streets and crowds outside the window: "How much of what I am doing now will actually be useful in the future?"

Shook his head.

"No matter how much effect it has, as long as there is a trace of effect, it must be done; there are too few trump cards to play, and some things cannot be solved by force alone."

Tang Zheng turned around, grabbed at the void, and a bright red magic robe appeared in his hand.

The next moment.

He had disappeared from the room.

The Abelion Hills area does not have a very complex history; it is said that it was once ruled by a kingdom established by a group of hill dwarves.

Unfortunately, it was eventually destroyed by various demi-human races, forming the current chaotic hilly pattern.

In the entire hilly area.

There are many kinds of races, and even the demi-humans in the hills may not be able to fully understand all the races, but 12 of them have the largest population and strong men.

Except for these 12 races.

There are several races with high fame in the hilly area; these races are either small but powerful groups, or individual strong men who walk alone.

The Ogre Water Elemental Mage is one of them.

In addition, there are an Earth Elemental Ogre, Snake King, Guardian Spirit, and Beast-bodied Quadruped.

At this moment!

Located at the station of the Ogre Water Elemental Mage.

About 100 ordinary ogres are gathering.

In front of these ogres, three figures are standing, the white-blue Ogre Water Elemental Mage, and the dark brown Earth Elemental Ogre.

And the "Wu Wang" Go Jin at the very front.

The existence of the three higher-level species made more than 100 ordinary ogres dare not make any moves, standing honestly in place waiting for orders.

"Can you take a bath, it stinks."

The White Mist Witch sat on a large tree on the side, looking at the group of rude guys exuding a stench below with bright yellow pupils, covering her nose and saying.

After Tang Zheng subdued Go Jin and the Ogre Water Elemental Mage, he let the two move out to defeat the Earth Elemental Ogre, who was as famous as the Ogre Water Elemental Mage, and bring it over. This is also the reason why the Earth Elemental Ogre appeared here.

"What does that man want to do?" Go Jin heard the White Mist Witch's words with an expressionless face and spoke coldly.

"You must call him Master!"

The White Mist Witch leaned forward and corrected.

"Hmph." Go Jin snorted coldly, facing this strange demi-human who was monitoring them, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt.

Hum—

The air vibrated.

The mysterious red figure appeared in front of everyone out of thin air.

"The number of ogres is so small?" Tang Zheng made a surprised hoarse sound.

In the hilly area, the number of ogres and goblins is not worse than some top tribes, but the low intelligence makes ogres and goblins unable to form integrated tribes at all.

!

Even in the eyes of some other demi-humans, ogres and goblins are completely treated as ordinary monsters.

"The two of them are loners, it's good enough to be able to gather a group of ogres around them." Go Jin said lightly, but his pupils contracted.

Although the Ogre Water Elemental Mage and the Earth Elemental Ogre possess a certain degree of intelligence, they have no intention of subduing ordinary ogres at all.

As higher-level species, in their eyes, they are not the same race as ogres at all.

"Idiot."

Tang Zheng sneered.

With the nature of ogres and goblins, as long as these two elemental ogres are willing, they can easily subdue all ogre and goblin races in the entire hilly area.

With such a huge group of clansmen, plus the strength of the two, they fully possess the power to compete with the 12 races.

Tang Zheng's thoughts moved, and the status panel appeared.

【Experience Slot: 1/460000】

【Comprehensive Level: 48→47lv】

【Ninja: 2lv→1lv】

Not long ago, he used experience-based spellcasting again, and the level dropped by 1 level again.

"Human!"

"Actually a human, you two actually submitted to a two-legged reptile! Roar!"

Seeing Tang Zheng appear, the Earth Elemental Ogre roared loudly.

It originally thought that the one who could make strong men like Go Jin and the Ogre Water Elemental Mage submit was another demi-human strong man; it didn't expect it to be a weak human.

"Oh, I really overestimated your intelligence; even as a higher-level species, you still have no brains."

Tang Zheng looked at the Earth Elemental Ogre, who looked similar to the Ogre Water Elemental Mage: "Since it's so noisy, don't talk in the future."

"All-Race Charm!"

Invisible magic fluctuations surged.

The Earth Elemental Ogre's roaring sound paused, and it couldn't even struggle, its eyes becoming dull in an instant.

Tang Zheng's current spellcasting level has reached the level of the tenth rank; although there is no false spellcasting level with any bonus, facing low-level opponents, the opponent cannot resist at all.

"Cut off your own tongue." Tang Zheng said lightly.

The Earth Elemental Ogre grabbed its tongue and cut it off without hesitation, and a large amount of blood sprayed from its mouth.

The intense pain distorted the Earth Elemental Ogre's face, its body trembled, and it woke up from the charm state with a scream, lying on the ground and wailing.

Seeing this scene,

Go Jin and the Ogre Water Elemental Mage's expressions changed, and immediately after, their eyes contracted,

They felt a terrifying aura permeating from Tang Zheng's body at the same time, and the air seemed to become heavy and viscous all of a sudden.

The Ogre Water Elemental Mage was terrified.

Go Jin subconsciously took a step back, holding the mace weapon by his side with both hands, looking at Tang Zheng opposite in disbelief, with dense sweat flowing on his forehead.

"This aura... how..."

Go Jin's breathing was rapid; at this moment, he had a feeling of powerlessness that he could be killed at any time and could not resist.

【Experience Slot: 1/410000】

【Comprehensive Level: 47→46lv】

【Ninja: 1lv→...】

With the use of the "Transcendence Technique" ability, the level dropped again in the blink of an eye, followed by the 【Ninja】 job disappearing from the status panel.

Tang Zheng had been using the passive ability of "Conceal Aura," which was lost along with the 【Ninja】 job from the passive abilities.

Exposing his own aura for the first time, forming terrifying pressure!

"Fourth-rank magic requires 200,000 experience, and the experience slot after the level drop still only has one point."

"It seems that the experience consumed by experience-based spellcasting will not cause a continuous drop of 2 levels as long as it does not exceed the upper limit of the experience slot."

"The job is gone, did the passive disappear too?"

Tang Zheng had been paying attention to the changes in the values on the panel, and finally had a deeper understanding of the skill "Experience Technique."

"You come to lead the way for them."

Tang Zheng said to the White Mist Witch; as soon as the words fell, his figure had disappeared.

"Yes, Master." The White Mist Witch hurriedly said respectfully, then looked at the nervous Go Jin below with a giggle:

"Hee hee, only now do you determine the strength gap with the master? Big guy, take the stinky guys behind and follow me."

On the other side.

Tang Zheng had already arrived at this quiet place in the lava zone.

Confirmed the information on the status panel again.

"The job and passive are indeed all gone." Tang Zheng's eyes were serious, and after observing carefully, he confirmed it again.

This result cannot be called disappointing; it is an expected situation.

"Wait, the skill didn't disappear?"

Tang Zheng looked down and suddenly found that a series of skills of the 【Ninja】 job were still there.

'Found skill "Ninjutsu · Shadow Stealth", requires high-rank job 【Ninja】, current conditions not met, requires 3 skill points'

'No prerequisite mid-rank job, conditions not met, requires 6 skill points, no basic job, conditions not met...'

'The "Genius" job is activated, already possesses the basic job "Thief", meets learning conditions, whether to take the job?'

'Found skill "Ninjutsu · Detection", requires high-rank job 【Ninja】, current conditions not met, requires 3 skill points'

'No prerequisite mid-rank job, conditions not met, requires 6 skill points, no basic job, conditions not met...'

'............'

Tang Zheng looked at the job information refreshed immediately after on the status panel and fell into silence.
