To be one of the top three brothels in a place like E-Rantel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng didn't believe there wasn't a local power behind it; perhaps even the city mayor, Panasonrei, received a portion of the profits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the anime, the head of the slave department was captured alive and handed over to the Golden Princess, only to be released by the nobles, which showed the deep-rooted connections between Eight Fingers and the kingdom's nobility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the \"Purple Secret Medicine House,\" the other two major brothels, \"Heavenly Full Moon Pavilion\" and \"Amber Honey,\" might also be under the influence of Eight Fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than acting like a hotheaded youth and showing up at their doorstep, Tang Zheng actually hoped the other party would come to him; this was the reason he chose the small inn where he had previously stayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He naturally had more important things to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First was the issue of money. After spending five silver coins just now, he only had 6 gold coins and 2 silver coins left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This amount of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone buying a weapon made of mithril metal capable of withstanding the lowest level of magic, he couldn't even afford a weapon mixed with mithril.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had quite a harvest in the Great Forest of Tob; the two bone chains from the Evil Spirit Hounds alone were worth a significant amount. There was also the entire black-green giant snake, but it was too large, making it more troublesome to process than the bone chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the most valuable items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were the two large baskets of herbs that the Ogre had personally delivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the small inn, Tang Zheng turned into a narrow alley nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he walked out again, he was carrying a black, heavy-looking parcel in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether there was a black market in \"E-Rantel,\" Tang Zheng didn't know, but in every major city, besides the Adventurer's Guild and the Magic Caster's Guild, there were actually various other types of guilds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such as the Herb Guild, merchant associations, and so on. Whether buying or selling, one could get relatively lower prices or higher rewards at the corresponding guild, but the processing of procedures was quite troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, for most adventurers who hated trouble, it was much simpler to just hand things over to the Adventurer's Guild to handle, even if it meant paying an extra fee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he approached the Adventurer's Guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere on the entire street became increasingly lively and noisy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boisterous shouting could be heard continuously from within the open doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adventurers wearing various styles of plate armor and mail sat carelessly around the thick wooden tables that filled the Adventurer's Guild hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adventurers holding bows and arrows, magic staves, or dressed in revealing outfits, or even those wrapped up tightly, walked around the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng, wrapped in a black robe, was a very ordinary sight within the Adventurer's Guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Tang Zheng's appearance, he immediately attracted the gaze of many people in the guild. The presence of the small Evil Spirit Hound was indeed somewhat eye-catching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>=9+Shu_Ba\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there were adventurers who kept magical beasts, there were definitely not many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has the Adventurer's Guild still not given an explanation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What on earth happened in the Great Forest of Tob? How could even monsters like goblins be gone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bastards!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was counting on trading goblin ears for some money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"……!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drunken voices rang out from one side of the guild hall, immediately drawing resentment from many around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng's expressionless face twitched slightly at the eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had almost forgotten that although a large number of adventurers gathered in \"E-Rantel,\" the number of powerful adventurers among them was not high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the low-strength adventurers relied on hunting goblins as a means of making a living.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the number of goblins Tang Zheng killed was high, it actually didn't amount to much for the entire Great Forest of Tob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the impact caused by the massive slaughter, which made most goblins stop showing themselves, had indeed triggered many problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Tang Zheng coughed softly and stood in line at the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he had planned to hand over a portion of the goblin ears to exchange for money, but he had already dismissed that idea. Under these circumstances, taking out a large number of goblin ears would really be problematic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, it was Tang Zheng's turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng didn't waste words; he placed the heavy-looking parcel on the counter, producing a heavy thud: \"I need to sell these two bone chains.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female receptionist, who wore a headscarf over her brown hair and was dressed modestly, appearing to be only in her twenties, wore a professional smile as she reached out to open the parcel, which was somewhat large for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bone chains, which were entirely pitch-black and shimmered with the luster of metallic material, appeared in the brown-haired woman's field of vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing these bone chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brown-haired woman was clearly stunned for a moment. She reached out to touch them; they looked exceptionally heavy, but touching them gave her a sense of lightness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please wait a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brown-haired woman's expression immediately became serious. She bowed respectfully to Tang Zheng, turned around quickly, and trotted away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, inside the Adventurer's Guild, others had also seen the two pitch-black chains revealed from the opened parcel on the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that—the bone chains of an Evil Spirit Hound?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those are good things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that was a small Evil Spirit Hound; I was wondering why it looked a bit familiar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With your level of strength, don't act like you've seen one before!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember the last time such a good item appeared was half a year ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whispers of discussion came from the crowd, and many people's gazes toward Tang Zheng changed, with a bit more gravity in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monsters like Evil Spirit Hounds were not something ordinary adventurers could handle, let alone the fact that many had never even seen one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1496,"2026-06-21T02:30:15.860Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a908013d6ce063460008405299ccf6c57fa0b200968c683191745bf9cf3673c9","bone-king-welcoming-the-birth-of-the-king-chapter-72","bone-king-welcoming-the-birth-of-the-king-chapter-70",357,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbone-king-welcoming-the-birth-of-the-king-cover.jpg"]
