he looked like a person with a peaceful temperament, and should not be difficult to approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought flashed through Vice-Captain Gustavo’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for the fact that the Adventurer’s Guild could not provide false information, no one would have guessed, based on appearance alone, that the youth before him possessed the strength of an \"Adamantite-ranked\" adventurer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of strength, he might even be stronger than him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vice-Captain Gustavo’s attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, yet carried a hint of respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Vice-Captain Gustavo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng spoke gently, and after a simple response, he looked back at Go Jin: \"In that case, I will return to the 'Colorless Tranquility' inn first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, his temporary mission was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside \"Kalinsha,\" the \"Paladin Order\" and the \"Priest Order\" had just arrived, and even the [Sunlight Scripture] unit, which was supposed to arrive tomorrow, had arrived early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contact between the Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy was likely still in a state of \"chaos.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng had no intention of joining the fray;

this matter would be known soon enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vice-Captain Gustavo felt an inexplicable sense of relief, a flash of surprise in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been feeling a headache and distress over whether Tang Zheng would take the initiative to ask to see their Captain or inquire about the subjugation plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of these were prepared properly, and if he were to stall, he worried it would make Tang Zheng feel slighted or suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the other party had neither asked too much nor shown an attitude of interfering, Gustavo clearly perceived that the Tang Zheng before him was different from the adventurers he had seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your hard work, Team Leader Tang. Once there is any situation, I will immediately send someone to inform you.\" Vice-Captain Gustavo saluted again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will return with Lord Tang as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guild Master Bo Tejin followed up immediately; he had finished what he needed to do and naturally had no intention of staying longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1:07.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng returned to the inn, and the Witch of Green Leaves and Enri greeted him immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Team Leader.\" Enri’s brown eyes were filled with nervousness: \"That Adamantite-ranked commission... what is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was no longer the ignorant little girl who understood nothing; the danger of a commission of this level made Enri somewhat afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just because of the commission itself, but because she was only an ordinary person, and she worried she wouldn't be able to help at all and would instead hold back Lord Team Leader and Miss Green Leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enri remembered in her heart that Lord Team Leader had said she had some kind of talent, but so much time had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still didn't know what talent Lord Team Leader was talking about, and didn't dare to ask... fearing it was just something Lord Team Leader had said casually at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enri, this matter is somewhat dangerous, if...\" Tang Zheng looked at Enri, who was forcing herself to appear calm, and raised his hand to gently rub her chestnut-gold hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Team Leader!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, before Tang Zheng could finish his sentence, Enri spoke loudly: \"I want to participate too, I will be able to help!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You might die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enri is not afraid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Enri, who was usually soft and weak but suddenly showed a stubborn side, Tang Zheng was silent for a moment, then smiled gently: \"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A happy look appeared on Enri’s slightly chubby cheeks, and fearing Tang Zheng would go back on his word, she quickly promised: \"I definitely won't hold back Lord Team Leader and Miss Green Leaves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Witch of Green Leaves remained expressionless, only glancing shallowly at Enri from the corner of her eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the contact over this period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Witch of Green Leaves found that she actually quite liked this kind and gentle human girl; compared to her younger sister, the Witch of White Mist, she was much more obedient and less troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But liking her was one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still did not believe that the Enri before her was a talented human, and even less could she understand why her master valued her so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before the mission starts, you two should get some good rest.\" Tang Zheng said to the two; the Witch of Green Leaves had nothing to do, and Enri was ultimately just an ordinary person for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enri nodded heavily and left the room first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, White Mist she...\" The Witch of Green Leaves did not leave, and spoke in a worried, low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Master had her sister handle the situation in the hill region, she had not seen her sister for a long time, and now hearing about the large number of undead appearing in the hill region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was within Master’s plan, she was still somewhat worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once this matter is over, she can return; she is still useful to me,\" Tang Zheng said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to his attitude toward Anri.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng appeared much colder toward the twin witches, and it was precisely this attitude that made the Verdant Leaf Witch feel at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them knew too many of their master's secrets, so compared to words like \"safe\" or \"reassured,\" such emphatic vocabulary—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Useful to the master\"—was actually more capable of putting the twin witches' minds at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soft light of the \"Everlasting Light.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Illuminated the room brightly, while the night outside the window was deep; several consecutive days of overcast weather had caused the moonlight to become very dim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng sat on the sofa, a look of contemplation appearing on his face as he continuously recalled the entire process of the event, checking for any gaps or omissions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problems for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only flaw lies with the Lizardman Crusch.
