"Creak."
The bell chimed as the door was pushed open.
"Madam Marysi, long time no see." A smiling voice came, causing the middle-aged plump woman sitting behind the counter to look up subconsciously.
"Do you have any rooms available?" Tang Zheng arrived at the small inn where he had stayed before.
"Yes, we do."
"It's you?" Madam Marysi paused briefly when she saw Tang Zheng, then recalled him.
Immediately afterward, however, she saw the Small Evil Spirit Dog following behind Tang Zheng, and she couldn't help but take a step back.
"Don't worry, it won't cause any trouble," Tang Zheng said.
"I hope so… but there will be an extra Silver Coin charge!"
"No problem."
As a small inn just across the street from the Adventurer's Guild, Madam Marysi was obviously knowledgeable and had seen various types of Adventurers and travelers.
"Here are five Silver Coins, for the same double room as before."
Tang Zheng took out four Silver Coins from his pocket and placed them on the counter, then changed his tone and asked, "After I left, I wonder if anyone came looking for me?"
Madam Marysi deftly collected the Silver Coins, rubbing them lightly in her hand as she spoke without looking up.
"I remember a woman came here once." At this point, Madam Marysi finally looked up, with a hint of ambiguity in her eyes, "If I remember correctly, she should be from the Purple Secret Medicine Hall, young man."
Tang Zheng's expression didn't change upon hearing this, he simply smiled faintly, "I need to leave for a bit, please take care of the room, Madam Marysi."
"Don't worry."
"When you return, the room will be cleaned very well," Madam Marysi said, a unique smile appearing on her somewhat plump cheeks.
Tang Zheng left the small inn and walked down the street, the smile on his face already gone.
"Purple Secret Medicine Hall,"
Tang Zheng murmured the name.
Although the name contains the words "Secret Medicine," it is actually one of the three major Brothels in E-Rantel.
If it's used to solve men's problems, calling it "Secret Medicine" isn't really a problem.
"Eight Fingers." A cold smile appeared on Tang Zheng's lips.
Being able to spread its tentacles across the country, Eight Fingers is indeed a rather terrifying organization.
However.
That was for Tang Zheng a month ago. With his current strength, unless Eight Fingers sends out Six Arms.
Now is naturally not the time to go to the Purple Secret Medicine Hall. He's not so impulsive as to rush over just after hearing some news.
The prostitute who was sent out is just a small character. In a place like E-Rantel, being one of the top three Brothels.
Tang Zheng doesn't believe it's possible without local forces behind it. Perhaps even City Lord Panasolei has a share of the profits.
In the anime, the head of the slave department was captured alive and handed over to the Golden Princess, but the nobles released him, showing the intricate connections between Eight Fingers and the kingdom's nobles.
Not to mention the Purple Secret Medicine Hall, the other two major Brothels, Sky Full Moon Court and Amber Honey, might also be under the control of Eight Fingers.
Instead of directly barging in like an impulsive fool, Tang Zheng would rather they come to him, which is why he chose the small inn where he used to stay.
As for now.
He naturally has more important things to do.
First of all, there's the issue of money. He just spent five Silver Coins, and now he only has 6 Gold Coins and 2 Silver Coins left.
This amount of money.
Not to mention buying a weapon made of Mithril metal that can withstand Mana, he can't even afford a weapon mixed with Mithril.
Fortunately.
In the Tove Great Forest, his gains were not small. Just the two Bone Chains of the Evil Spirit Dog alone were of considerable value. There was also an entire Black Green Great Snake, but its size made it more troublesome to handle than the Bone Chains.
Of course, the most valuable were...
The two large baskets of herbs personally delivered by those Great Goblins.
Tang Zheng walked out of the small inn and turned into a narrow alley nearby.
When he emerged again, he was carrying a black package that looked quite heavy.
Tang Zheng didn't know if E-Rantel had a black market, but in addition to the Adventurer's Guild and the Magic Caster Guild, various other types of guilds existed in most cities.
Such as the Herb Guild, Merchant Guild, and so on.
Whether buying or selling, going to the corresponding guild could get relatively lower prices or higher rewards, but the procedures were quite troublesome.
So, for most adventurers who hated trouble, it was much simpler to hand things over to the Adventurer's Guild, even if it meant paying an extra fee.
As he approached the Adventurer's Guild...
The atmosphere on the entire street became increasingly lively and noisy.
Loud shouts constantly echoed from within the open doors.
Adventurers wearing various styles of plate armor and armor sat boisterously around the thick wooden tables that filled the Adventurer's Guild hall.
Adventurers holding bows, staffs, or dressed in revealing outfits, or even completely covered up, moved about in the hall.
Tang Zheng, wrapped in a Black Robe, was a very ordinary sight within the Adventurer's Guild.
However...
With Tang Zheng's appearance, he immediately attracted the attention of many people in the guild. The presence of the Small Evil Spirit Dog was indeed a bit eye-catching.
Although there were adventurers who kept magical beasts, they were definitely not many.
"Damn it!"
"Has the Adventurer's Guild not given an explanation yet?"
"What exactly happened in the Tove Great Forest? Even Goblins, these magical beasts, are gone."
"Bastard!"
"I was counting on using Goblin ears to exchange for some money."
"…!"
Drunken voices rang out from one side of the guild hall, immediately arousing a lot of resentment.
Tang Zheng's eyebrows twitched on his expressionless face.
He almost forgot that although E-Rantel gathered a large number of adventurers, the number of powerful adventurers among them was not high.
Most low-level adventurers relied on hunting Goblins as a means of livelihood.
Although Tang Zheng killed a large number of Goblins, it was actually nothing to the entire Tove Great Forest.
However, the impact caused by the large-scale slaughter, which made most of the Goblins no longer show their faces, caused quite a few problems.
"Cough."
Thinking of this, Tang Zheng coughed softly and stood in line in front of the counter.
He had originally planned to hand over some Goblin ears to exchange for money, but now he had given up on this idea. Under such circumstances, taking out a large number of Goblin ears was really problematic.
Soon, it was Tang Zheng's turn.
Bang! Tang Zheng didn't waste any words, placing the seemingly heavy package on the counter, making a dull thud: "I need to sell these two Bone Chains."
The female receptionist, with brown hair wrapped in a headscarf, dressed conservatively, and looking only in her early twenties, showed a professional smile on her face, reaching out to open the package on the counter, which was a bit large for her.
The Bone Chains, overall dark and with a metallic luster, appeared in the brown-haired woman's view.
Seeing the Bone Chains...
The brown-haired woman was obviously stunned for a moment, reaching out to touch them. They looked exceptionally heavy, but felt light to the touch.
"Please wait a moment."
The brown-haired woman's expression immediately turned serious. She respectfully bowed to Tang Zheng, quickly turned around, and trotted away.
Meanwhile, inside the Adventurer's Guild, some people had noticed the two dark chains on the counter, their wrappings now open.
"That is—the Bone Chains of an Evil Spirit Dog?"
"Hiss!"
"That's a good find."
"So that was a Small Evil Spirit Dog. I was wondering why it looked familiar."
"With your strength, don't act like you've ever seen one before!"
"I remember the last time something like this appeared was about half a year ago."
Whispers of discussion spread through the crowd, and many people's gazes towards Tang Zheng changed, their eyes now filled with gravity.
The Evil Spirit Dog was not a magical beast that ordinary Adventurers could handle, let alone one that many had never even seen.
