Interesting Little Discovery, Disguise

Inside the borrowed house.

Tang Zheng sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, his eyes slightly closed, contemplating what to do next.

Creak~ The Small Evil Spirit Dog was lying under the bed, gnawing on a Goblin's leg bone, its teeth grinding and emitting a faint "creak" sound, as if sharpening them.

The Goblin's corpse from earlier had clearly been devoured by the Evil Spirit Dog, leaving only a leg bone.

Suddenly.

The Small Evil Spirit Dog paused its grinding, raised its head, and looked towards the door. Then, it turned its head to look at the wooden bed, finding that Tang Zheng had already opened his eyes.

The footsteps were light.

Tang Zheng's eyes flashed, and he expressionlessly looked down at the bone in the Small Evil Spirit Dog's mouth.

"Snap!"

The Small Evil Spirit Dog's teeth immediately exerted force, easily crushing the seemingly hard Goblin leg bone, swallowing it in a bite or two.

"Odorless."

Tang Zheng raised his arm and waved his hand.

The faint bloody smell that permeated the air in the room immediately dissipated completely.

Knock, knock! A gentle knock sounded on the door.

Tang Zheng got up from the wooden bed, and with a soft "click," the door was opened.

Anri, holding a wooden tray in both hands, saw Tang Zheng opening the door, lowered her head, and said softly, "My mother asked me to bring these foods over, thank you for your help today, sir."

"Actually, I've already eaten." Tang Zheng heard these words, glanced at the food on the tray, and spoke.

Upon hearing this.

Anri didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing Anri becoming even more nervous, Tang Zheng opened the door wider, "Then come in first."

Anri's heart slightly relaxed, and she walked into the room, placing the wooden tray on the old wooden table inside the house.

After placing the items.

Anri glanced at the Small Evil Spirit Dog lying under the wooden bed, sizing her up, and her body stiffened.

Knowing that there would be no danger, she was still a little scared, after all, this was a very dangerous magical beast.

Tang Zheng didn't close the door, but instead pushed it further back, opening the door even wider, before walking into the room.

"Um, sir, I'll just leave the food here..."

Anri crossed her hands over her lower abdomen, her voice a little uneasy.

"If you're not in a hurry, there are a few things I'd like to ask you about." Tang Zheng walked to the wooden table, pulled out a chair, sat down, and said gently.

He didn't expect Anri to bring him food, but since she was here, he might as well confirm the matter of those Adventurers from before.

This kind of small village couldn't hide any secrets.

Moreover, the Village Chief's words needed to be verified again.

"Okay, okay."

Anri was stunned, then nodded and sat down as well.

Tang Zheng looked at the food on the table.

A milky white soup with diced meat, a very peculiar combination.

"I'll accept this kindness."

Tang Zheng picked up a nut that looked like a pine nut, gently pinched it, threw it into his mouth, and said frankly, "The nuts are good."

Hearing these words.

Anri's back not only straightened up a little subconsciously, but her eyes also clearly lit up.

Actually.

Whether it was the bean soup with thick chunks of meat, or the nuts picked from the dangerous environment of the forest, they were things her family usually couldn't bear to eat.

But Anri was well aware that such food, in the eyes of this young master, should be described as shabby.

Before sending it over, Anri had thought that he might not even touch it, but even if she anticipated this outcome, the proper etiquette was still necessary! Just like everyone in the village, who often helped each other, whether the help was big or small, there had to be a response.

For Anri, this was the most simple and honest principle.

Tang Zheng, on the other hand, didn't think so much. After casually tasting a nut, he began to inquire about the adventurers.

Anri clearly hadn't made a special effort to learn about them, mostly hearing about them from other villagers, which was similar to what the Village Chief had just said.

Tang Zheng nodded slightly, understanding.

"Um, sir, are you not an adventurer?" Anri suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Oh, how did you know?" Tang Zheng asked.

Seeing that her question wasn't rejected, Anri, who was already full of curiosity about the outside world, couldn't help but quietly recount the part of the conversation between the Village Chief and Tang Zheng that she had overheard while delivering the food.

"I see."

"I'm indeed not an adventurer." Tang Zheng chuckled softly.

...

A moment later.

With a happy expression on her face, Anri picked up the untouched bean soup and the single nut that had been eaten, and left the room.

Click!

Tang Zheng closed the door again, a hint of amusement flashing across his face.

He suddenly noticed something he hadn't paid attention to before.

The color of Anri's hair was noticeably different from the hair color of the other people in the village.

In Karn Village, the main hair color was brown or dark brown, and Anri's parents, including her younger sister Nimu, had dark brown hair.

Only Anri's hair was chestnut-gold, a bright hair color.

Of course, this was just a minor detail.

Tang Zheng walked back to the wooden bed and reached out to pat the Small Evil Spirit Dog's head, "Your role has come into play."

"Woof."

The Small Evil Spirit Dog looked a little dazed, not understanding the meaning of Tang Zheng's words.

Tang Zheng naturally wouldn't explain.

The reason he suddenly took in the Small Evil Spirit Dog, besides having it dispose of the large number of Goblin and Ogre corpses in the Item Box, was also to create a certain Disguise for himself.

Or it could be said that he was actively exposing some information!

When one's strength was too weak, reducing one's presence was the most appropriate choice.

But for the majority of the time ahead, he would be active in the human society of this world, so reducing his presence was no longer so necessary.

As long as there was activity, traces would inevitably be left behind.

Just like being inexplicably targeted by the people of Eight Fingers before, some troubles couldn't be prevented by actively avoiding them.

In a situation like this Otherworld, which appeared stable on the surface but was actually relatively chaotic both internally and externally, there would always be those who were blind and reckless enough to run into him.

If he kept reducing his presence and then suddenly made a big commotion, it would only attract more attention.

The very existence of the Small Evil Spirit Dog was enough to form a certain deterrent, but this deterrent wasn't strong.

The Bone King's approach was worth Tang Zheng's reference.

But the desired effect was different.

The Bone King formed the Darkness team, gaining a large amount of reputation in a short period of time to make himself famous, in order to quickly infiltrate the human world and obtain information from the human side.

But Tang Zheng was facing not only the humans of this Otherworld, but also the future arrival of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

As he had said before, this intelligence war had already begun!

Tang Zheng's strongest means at the moment is his close combat ability. In all likelihood, before obtaining the Special Class 'Valkyrie', his close combat ability should be his strongest asset.

Therefore.

Tang Zheng plans to disguise his main attack method as a Magic Caster next.

However, he is still unsure for the time being.

Whether to disguise himself as a Mana-based Magic Caster or a Faith-based Magic Caster.

All the magic he currently knows, except for 'Lesser Healing', are Mana-based spells. But before, he had actively exposed the existence of healing magic.

That's why he's a little conflicted.

Of course, he could also disguise himself as a Magic Caster who has mastered both systems. There are quite a few spellcasters like that in this world.

"What a pity."

Tang Zheng sighed softly, thinking of Anri just now.

Realizing that Anri had a rather good talent in command-type classes, he actually had the idea of recruiting Anri.

But if he wants Anri to master a command-type class and increase the level of the class, he needs at least a small army for Anri to command and train.

But Tang Zheng does not have this condition now.

"Sure enough, there are so many things to consider." Tang Zheng rubbed his temples with a bit of a headache.

"Woof." The Small Evil Spirit Dog looked up and rubbed against Tang Zheng's trouser leg.
