Chapter 281 "Black" Pavel, an indescribable woman
Only one week had passed.
The reputation of the adventurer team "Free Will" and the "genius alchemist" has become known to everyone in Kalinxia.
Even Tang Zheng himself did not expect that when he made the "Regeneration Potion" he originally wanted to get some little red bottles for himself.
It was to get in touch with the elusive Renas and obtain the profession of [Cursed Knight].
Today, the "Regeneration Potion" in his hands has exerted an effect far beyond the potion itself. By using the potion to pave the way, he can easily gain a lot of fame.
The fortress city "Kalinxia" is close to the city wall fortress line, and there is no shortage of injured and disabled soldiers. With the existence of these people, it is hard not to be famous.
A busy and bustling street.
The hawkers' cries were heard on both sides, soldiers wearing ordinary armor who had just finished their work gathered together, as well as various women and merchants selling goods.
The air was filled with a faint aroma of barbecue and beer.
Tang Zheng was walking on the street, followed by a vicious dog that was a head taller than him, attracting a lot of attention.
The evil dog's body was piled with all kinds of meat and food. At this moment, it looked more like a livestock carrying cargo than a ferocious and terrifying monster.
Along the way.
Many passers-by greeted me.
Tang Zheng responded with a smile, stopping from time to time at the stalls on both sides of the street to see if there was anything he needed to buy.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Hei." Tang Zheng reached out and patted the neck of the evil dog beside him.
"Ah." The evil dog responded softly.
"This city is even more prosperous than Ye-Lantir." Tang Zheng sighed inwardly after observing for some time.
The three forts on the fortress line require soldiers to be stationed there for a long time. These people will bring huge consumption, and they will be replaced every once in a while, and new soldiers will generate more demand.
This indirectly led to the prosperity of "Kalinxia".
If nothing changes in the future, this place will become a real hell on earth.
Tang Zheng was staring at the bustling street in front of him. His calm eyes became deep and a hint of coldness flashed in his gaze.
He doesn't know whether the future can be changed.
Gotta give it a try.
Following the flow of people, we came to a stall selling raw meat. The main items sold here were poultry raised by civilians, as well as some leftover game.
"Mr. Adventurer." The stall owner saw Tang Zheng from afar and greeted him warmly.
"How much are these scraps of meat?"
Tang Zheng asked gently.
"Why?"
The stall owner was a little surprised. He didn't understand why a big shot like Tang Zheng would ask about the price of scraps, but he still spoke quickly.
"I remember the price was not this two days ago?" Tang Zheng's eyes flashed. He had also asked about it two days ago, and the price was cheaper.
"Adventurer, I definitely don't mean to raise the price." The stall owner's face changed, misunderstanding Tang Zheng's intention. Seeing the evil spirit that could easily swallow him whole, he explained in panic and fear: "The price of meat has increased a bit recently. Some merchants have started to buy the scraps and internal organs that were cheap and even unwanted before."
"That's why the prices of cheap food that poor people don't even eat have increased recently."
Hear the other party's answer.
Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression unchanged as he said, "I see."
He had already guessed the real reason.
These nobles are really crazy. They have already started buying up rotten meat such as offal and scraps.
Ever since the first successful transaction with the ogres, it was as if a box had been opened, and a large number of caravans appeared from nowhere and began to frequently trade with the ogres.
Being able to continuously transport large quantities of food, it is obvious that there are nobles behind these caravans.
"Oh, I didn't expect that the genius alchemist would also be interested in this kind of thing." Suddenly, a majestic male voice came from the side.
Tang Zheng turned his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from. It was a middle-aged man who was about the same height as him, with a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle.
The first impression given to outsiders is a sense of pressure.
The other person was wearing a short black cloak that reached to his waist, and light leather armor underneath, which was partially covered by the cloak.
However, one can still see that there is an owl pattern on the left chest of the leather armor, and the national emblem of the Holy Kingdom on the right chest.
The lower body is wearing the more common loose black pants, and the feet are wearing special boots like normal soldiers.
No impression.
Tang Zheng looked at the strange man. He was very sure that he had never seen him before.
This attire is similar to those of the lower-ranking soldiers, but judging from his demeanor and appearance, his status should be higher.
The opponent is quite strong!
Tang Zheng did not use detection magic, but just based on the first impression the other party gave him, he felt that it was worth paying attention to.
"Who are you?" Tang Zheng asked in confusion as several thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Pavel."
Pavel walked forward and glanced at the evil dog, then smiled and introduced himself.
The smile was a little stiff.
The other person should be a serious person.
“Night watchman, sir!” The stall owner nearby stuttered when he saw Pavel, his face full of nervousness and excitement.
Night Watchman? Tang Zheng's eyes flashed with realization, a little surprised, and his face became serious: "I didn't expect to see Lord Black Pavel, one of the Nine Colors of the Holy Kingdom, here."
"It's just a little reputation."
Pavel waved his hand, and his sharp eyes looked at Tang Zheng without leaving any trace: "Your Excellency Tang is also very famous in the kingdom. Even if you come to our Holy Kingdom, you will still attract attention."
Did you investigate the "free will" of his adventurer team?
Tang Zheng was not surprised.
“I wonder if Mr. Tang would be interested in this kind of thing in addition to alchemy.” Pavel changed the subject and continued.
According to the information he had collected, it seemed strange to Pavel that the other party, given his status, would actually pay attention to the price of this kind of rotten meat.
"Hei always eats a lot."
Tang Zheng chuckled and patted the evil dog next to him, "Besides Xiao Hei, I also have a man-eating demon that needs to be fed."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"That's why I decided to get some of these entrails, scraps and other rotten meat to feed to the ogre."
Tang Zheng brought a ogre with him to make a regeneration potion. The ogre's blood was the raw material. Without the ogre's blood, it would be impossible to make the potion in large quantities openly.
Looking at this young man who is obviously not very old, after knowing his identity, he still behaves gentle and calm.
Pavel's eyes turned more serious.
The other party's calmness and confidence do not come from powerful alchemy or so-called "fame", but from strength.
“I see.” Pavel’s voice became a little gentler, and he suddenly said, “Thank you.”
"Huh?" Tang Zheng was surprised.
“Thanks to your potion, those disabled soldiers finally have hope. I want to thank you on their behalf,” Pavel said seriously.
"If this is the reason, please take back your thanks."
Tang Zheng raised his hand to interrupt Pavel's next words: "I sell the potion and they pay for it. It's a fair deal."
Pavel was stunned, then suddenly laughed: "That's right."
Looking at the young man in the priest's robe again, Pavel found him even more pleasing to the eye. "Let's chat."
"good."
The two men walked along the street, followed closely by the evil dog carrying the goods.
"During this period, I heard that you were buying sub-humans."
"I think it was because of this incident that Mr. Pavel and I met by chance."
"I don't know how much you know about our Holy Kingdom, but the towering and continuous fortress walls should be able to show our attitude towards demihumans."
"I was a little reckless."
"So, what's the reason?"
"The alchemy potion I specialize in is researched and refined using subhuman blood as the key ingredient."
"The reason I came to the Holy Kingdom this time is that there are more humans in Leviathan, so I want to get more demihuman blood."
“…………”
After a moment.
Tang Zheng looked at Pavel's departing figure with an unchanged expression. He turned around and said to the evil dog beside him: "Let's go. It's time to go back to the hotel."
"Ouch." The evil dog responded in a low voice.
Tang Zheng pondered, walking slowly down the street: "Black" Pavel, if I remember correctly, the other party's daughter should be Neia."
The four women who impressed Tang Zhengren the most in the Holy Kingdom were three miserable women, and one woman was indescribable.
Karko, the first "Holy Queen" of the Holy Kingdom, can be described as a person who combines beauty and talent. She was swung like a human weapon by an angry demon, and her body eventually rotted into pieces.
"The head of the temple's highest priest" Kuirat, one of the Holy Queen's arms, had his head cut off and given to the Crowned Demon as a spellcasting weapon.
"Captain of the Holy Knights" Remedios, one of the two arms of the Holy Queen, was used by Demiurge from beginning to end. After it was determined that the Northern and Southern Holy Kingdoms were completely opposed to each other, he was secretly dealt with.
Finally, there is Neia.
Tang Zheng was walking on the road with his brows slightly furrowed. This was a person that even he didn't know how to describe.
It can be said that Ning Ya has been completely brainwashed by Bone King. Although the other party is a human, he has completely stood on the side of Bone King.
He even specifically preached the greatness of the Bone King to other humans, and in the process acquired the profession of "Evangelist".
Remedios and Neia.
Tang Zheng didn't like either of them very much. The two of them could be described as "stupid" or "blind".
But that's why.
These two people are most likely to incite and mislead.
In the hotel room.
Tang Zheng took out a bottle of red potion from the prop box and placed it on the table. This was a potion that was refined during this period by mixing the blood of the lizardman Kuruxue and the blood of the ancient red dragon.
