Chapter 16 Grandma Liji's Reminder, Gaining Experience
That night——
Starry sky.
The night sky was unexpectedly bright with the starlight and moonlight. This was in his previous life. Even in the countryside, Tang Zheng could not see the starry sky.
Crack, crack! The firewood of the bonfire was lit, and it made a crackling sound as the flames jumped.
Nfirea was sitting by the campfire, studying a few herbs in his hands, sniffing them from time to time, or even taking a bite to taste them.
Grandmother Liggy stood in front of a carriage not far away, checking the condition of the herbs on the carriage.
In the "Rock" team, except for the captain Dosari and the older brother of the twins, Rand, they stood outside to guard.
The remaining two people have gone to explore the surrounding environment.
They are now sleeping in the wilderness.
Captain Dosari reminded them that there was a village not far from where they were and they could stay overnight.
only.
My grandmother Saji refused because she didn’t want to take the long way around.
Since there was a box of precious herbs purchased from the royal capital on the carriage, they needed to return to "Ye-Rantel" as soon as possible for extraction, so they chose the fastest route.
As a result, some towns along the route were skipped.
Such a choice by the client would undoubtedly increase the danger on the road, and under normal circumstances, it would naturally cause dissatisfaction among the adventurer team.
In the final analysis! The relationship between the client and the adventurer team is just a cooperative one. If the client does something unacceptable to the adventurer during the mission, the adventurer can naturally stop the commission midway.
However, this would require paying a considerable amount of money to the Adventurer's Guild.
In this situation, where they have to do hard labor and do not follow the safe route at all, under normal circumstances, the adventurer team would have come into conflict with the client long ago.
However! The Rock team learned that Grandmother Lizzie was the owner of the pharmacy in E-Rantel and was known as the best pharmacist in E-Rantel.
All the original dissatisfaction disappeared, and he even became much more attentive along the way!
This made Tang Zheng sigh that the adventurer team "Rock" was really unusually pragmatic! Tang Zheng sat by the campfire, observing Nfirea's actions as he concentrated on studying the herbs.
At this moment, Nfirea was holding a thumb-length, slender plant that looked like a tree root in his hand and was taking a small bite of it.
The next moment, Nfirea spat out the bit he had bitten off: "So it's the bitter root? You can't tell the difference from the outside."
After saying this, Nfirea noticed Tang Zheng who was sitting next to him and watching him.
"This herb is called bitterroot, and it is exactly the same as this Megan. You can't tell the difference by looking at it, you can only tell by tasting it."
"The effects of the two are also different. Bitter root is suitable for making wine and has a certain detoxification effect. It is the basic material for making detoxification potions."
"Although Megan's taste is also bitter, it does have a hint of sweetness, making it suitable as a basic material for healing potions."
Nfirea's originally shy personality lit up when he talked about medicinal herbs, and even his voice became much more confident.
"I see."
Tang Zheng nodded, looking as if he was listening carefully.
In fact, he just wanted to see if he could obtain a career as a "pharmacist" by learning about herbal medicine.
Currently, there is no prompt on the properties panel.
"Tang, are you interested in herbs?" Enfirea looked at Tang Zheng with his bright blue pupils.
"I am indeed interested." Tang Zheng nodded.
"snort!"
Just as Nfirea was about to say something, a light snort was heard.
Grandmother Lizzie walked over with her hands behind her back, "Nfirea, don't show off your shallow knowledge."
"Tasting with your mouth is the most basic and lowest-level method of identification. Your nose is not incapable of smelling anything!" A stern voice with a hint of reprimand came.
"I know, Grandma."
Nfirea lowered his head and spoke with some shame.
Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze. He didn't know whether his grandmother Lizzie's reprimand to Nfirea was a warning to him.
In a different world where the spread of knowledge is clearly limited.
His behavior of asking Nfirea some questions about medicinal herbs during this period was indeed inappropriate.
"Don't be nervous."
"Although I am a bit stingy, I won't get angry about this."
Grandma Liji looked at Tang Zheng and spoke lightly.
Forehead……
I say I am stingy, even though it is true!
But Tang Zheng, an outsider, knew that no matter what he said at this time, it would be inappropriate.
"Just knowing the properties of a few herbs, you want to create a healing potion? Don't even think about it."
"Since you have some talent in faith magic, don't waste your energy on other things. Whether it's martial arts or knowledge of herbs, it's just a waste of time."
Grandmother Lizzie spoke in a leisurely voice.
Tang Zheng was startled, knowing that the other party was reminding him with good intentions, and then he quickly said, "Thank you, Mrs. Barreare."
Hearing Tang Zheng's name.
The wrinkled skin on Grandma Lizzie's face suddenly relaxed a lot, and she seemed to enjoy the title very much.
"Bareare" is the other party's last name.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Tang Zheng learned this when he was communicating with Nfirea, although he already knew it.
Trample! Trample! Two footsteps were heard from the wilderness.
It was the twin brother Lele and the archer Basque who left not long ago to explore the surrounding environment.
As the two returned, the expressions on the faces of the other two members of the "Rock" team relaxed slightly.
"Hum...hum."
A weak groan came from behind Lele.
Just see.
Le Er was carrying a wild boar weighing more than 200 kilograms, and he looked unusually relaxed: "We are lucky to have caught a wild boar. We have a meal for tonight."
"An arrow pierced through his forehead? He's not dead yet."
"Hey, Basque, your archery skills have improved again."
Rand pinched his waist and looked at the wild boar his brother was carrying, especially the visible blood hole on the wild boar's forehead.
"It's just a wild boar." Basque chuckled.
Bang! Lele walked to the campfire and threw the wild boar on his back to the ground with a muffled sound.
"Tang, there's still one breath left."
Lele smiled and spoke to Tang Zheng, then pointed to a spot on the wild boar's neck: "If you strike here, you can kill it with one strike."
"Thank you." Tang Zheng stood up from the campfire and walked towards the wild boar lying on the ground with only one breath left.
Since Grandmother Lizzie had to get back to "E-Rantel" as soon as possible, the route she chose was faster, but she couldn't rest in the town.
Grandma Lizzie had naturally planned the route long ago, so she was prepared and there was no shortage of food, but that obviously did not include food for the "Rock" team and Tang Zheng.
So! In addition to saving the food they carry, the Rock team also obtains food and reserves through hunting, which is obviously not a problem for adventurers.
In this process.
Tang Zheng mentioned that if possible, he should be the one to deliver the final blow to the captured prey.
The external statement is.
He had the idea of becoming an adventurer, but he had never seen blood, so he wanted to adapt himself in advance.
And for this statement.
The "Rock" team had no doubts.
Because Tang Zheng really doesn't look like an adventurer. Even the lowest-level adventurers would carry some tools when they go on a long journey, but Tang Zheng has no such awareness at all.
Perhaps their abilities can be doubted, but they can still be seen in this experience.
so.
The "Rock" team did not hesitate at all. During this period of time, as long as they caught a wild beast, they would hold it with one breath and let Tang Zhenglai kill it.
Swish! Tang Zheng drew the dagger from his waist and walked beside the wild boar lying on the ground, its body still twitching slightly.
Without any hesitation, he raised the dagger and stabbed it into the part of the wild boar that Lele had mentioned just now.
