Chapter 71

Ding ding~

"Creak."

The bell sound of the door being pushed open rang out.

"Lady Malixi, long time no see." A smiling voice came, making the middle-aged fat woman sitting behind the counter look up subconsciously.

"Are there still rooms?" Tang Zheng came to the small inn where he had stayed before.

"Yes."

"It's you?" Lady Malixi paused briefly after seeing Tang Zheng, then recalled.

But immediately after, she saw the little Evil Spirit Dog following behind Tang Zheng and couldn't help but take a step back.

"Don't worry, it won't cause trouble." Tang Zheng.

"I hope so... but I have to charge an extra silver coin fee!"

"No problem."

As a small inn separated from the Adventurer Guild by only one street, Lady Malixi was obviously knowledgeable and had seen all kinds of adventurers and travelers.

"This is five silver coins, still the same double room as before."

Tang Zheng took four silver coins out of his pocket and placed them on the counter, then his tone changed, and he asked:

"After I left, I wonder if anyone has looked for me?"

Lady Malixi collected the silver coins nimbly, rubbing them lightly in her hand, and spoke without raising her head.

"I remember a woman seemed to have come here once." Speaking of this, Lady Malixi looked up, her eyes carrying a bit of ambiguity:

"If I remember correctly, the other party should be from the "Purple Secret Medicine Hall", young man."

Tang Zheng heard these words, his expression unchanged, only carrying a shallow smile: "I have something to do and need to leave for a while; as for the room, I'll trouble Lady Malixi."

"Don't worry."

"When you come back, the room will definitely be cleaned very cleanly." A somewhat unique smile appeared on Lady Malixi's somewhat fat cheeks.

Tang Zheng left the small inn and walked on the road, the smile on his face already disappeared.

"Purple Secret Medicine Hall,"

Tang Zheng recited this name.

Although the name carried the words "Secret Medicine", it was actually one of the three major brothels in "E-Rantel".

If it was used to solve men's problems, calling it "Secret Medicine" couldn't be considered a problem.

"Eight Fingers." Tang Zheng's mouth curled into a sneer.

Being able to spread the tentacles of the organization throughout the country, "Eight Fingers" could indeed be called a quite terrifying organization.

However.

That was for the Tang Zheng of a month ago; with his current strength, unless "Eight Fingers" sent out the Six Arms.

Naturally, he wasn't heading to the "Purple Secret Medicine Hall" now; he wasn't that naive to rush over just after knowing a bit of news.

The prostitute who could be sent out was just a minor character; being able to become one of the top three brothels in a place like "E-Rantel".

Tang Zheng didn't believe there was no local power behind it; perhaps even the city mayor Panasole had a share of the profits.

In the anime, the minister of the slave department was captured alive and handed over to the Golden Princess, only to be released by the nobles, which showed the entanglement between Eight Fingers and the kingdom's nobles.

Not to mention the "Purple Secret Medicine Hall", the other two major brothels "Heavenly Full Moon Court" and "Amber Honey" might also be Eight Fingers' power.

Rather than the naive behavior of directly knocking on the door, Tang Zheng actually hoped more that the other party would come actively; this was also the reason he chose the small inn he had stayed in before.

As for now.

He naturally had more important things to do.

First was the money problem; he spent five silver coins just now, and now he only had 6 gold coins and 2 silver coins left.

This little money.

Not to mention changing into a weapon made of Mythril metal material that could withstand magic at the lowest level, he couldn't even afford a weapon mixed with Mythril.

Fortunately.

His harvest in the Great Forest of Tob was not small; just those two bone chains of the Evil Spirit Dog were worth a lot. There was also a whole black-green giant snake, but its size was too large, and it was more troublesome to deal with compared to the bone chains.

Of course, the highest value.

Was still the two large baskets of medicinal herbs that the Ogres personally delivered to his door.

After Tang Zheng walked out of the small inn, he turned into a narrow alley nearby.

When he walked out again, he was already carrying a black package that looked quite heavy.

Whether "E-Rantel" had a black market, Tang Zheng didn't know, but in every major city, besides the Adventurer Guild and the Magic Caster Guild, there were actually various types of guilds.

For example, the Herb Guild, merchant associations, etc. Whether buying or selling, one could get a relatively low price or higher reward by going to the corresponding guild, but the procedures were quite troublesome.

So for most adventurers who hate trouble, it was much simpler to hand things directly to the Adventurer Guild to deal with, only needing to pay an extra part of the fee.

As he approached the Adventurer Guild.

The atmosphere on the entire street became increasingly lively and noisy.

Noisy shouts constantly came from the open gate.

Adventurers wearing various styles of plate armor and armor sat carelessly around the thick wooden tables filled in the Adventurer Guild hall.

Adventurers holding bows and arrows, magic staves, or dressed in spicy outfits, or even wrapped tightly, walked around the hall.

Like Tang Zheng wrapped in a black robe, it was really a very ordinary outfit in the Adventurer Guild.

However.

With Tang Zheng's appearance, he immediately attracted the gaze of quite a few people in the guild. The existence of the little Evil Spirit Dog was indeed somewhat eye-catching.

=9+Shu_ba

Although there were adventurers who kept monsters, there were definitely not many.

"Damn it!"

"Has the Adventurer Guild still not given an explanation?"

"What on earth happened in the Great Forest of Tob, how come even monsters like Goblins are gone."

"Bastard!"

"I was counting on using Goblin ears to exchange for some money."

"......!"

Drunken voices rang out on one side of the guild hall, immediately causing quite a bit of resentment from the surroundings.

Tang Zheng's expressionless cheeks twitched.

He almost forgot, although a large number of adventurers gathered in "E-Rantel", the number of powerful adventurers among them was not large.

Most low-strength adventurers relied on hunting Goblins as a means of maintaining their livelihood,

Although the number of Goblins Tang Zheng killed was large, for the entire Great Forest of Tob, it actually didn't count for much.

But because of the impact caused by the mass slaughter, making most Goblins stop showing their heads, it had triggered quite a few problems.

"Cough."

Thinking of this, Tang Zheng coughed softly and stood in line at the counter.

Originally, he had also planned to hand over a portion of Goblin ears to exchange for money, but now he had dismissed this idea; under such circumstances, taking out a large number of Goblin ears was really somewhat problematic.

Soon, it was Tang Zheng's turn.

Bang!

Tang Zheng didn't talk nonsense, placed the package that looked somewhat heavy on the counter, and it made a heavy dull sound: "I need to sell these two bone chains."

The female receptionist, who was wrapped in a headscarf, dressed tightly, and looked only 20-something, showed a professional smile on her face and reached out to open the package placed on the counter, which was somewhat large for her.

The bone chains, which were overall pitch black and shone with the luster of metallic substances, appeared in the field of vision of the brown-haired woman.

Seeing these bone chains.

The brown-haired woman was clearly stunned, reached out to touch them, and although they looked unusually heavy, they gave her a feeling of lightness when touched.

"Wait a moment."

The brown-haired woman's expression immediately became serious, she bowed respectfully to Tang Zheng, turned around quickly, and ran away.

And at this moment in the Adventurer Guild, someone also saw the two pitch-black chains that had been opened in the package on the counter.

"That is—the bone chains of an Evil Spirit Dog?"

"Hiss!"

"These are good things."

"So that was a little Evil Spirit Dog, I said why it looked a bit familiar?"

"With your strength, don't talk as if you've seen one before!"

"I remember the last time such good things appeared was half a year ago."

Close discussions came from the crowd, and the gaze of quite a few people looking at Tang Zheng changed, with a bit more solemnity in their eyes.

That kind of monster, the Evil Spirit Dog, was not something ordinary adventurers could deal with, let alone many people who hadn't even seen one.
