Entrust? Decipher Magic Vice President
Being able to circulate among human countries already gives it the sense of an international currency.
If the Platinum Dragon Lord is truly behind this, or if it's their handiwork, it's not impossible.
Tang Zheng simply pondered for a moment before regaining his senses, reaching out to press down the head of the Small Evil Spirit Dog, which was baring its fangs.
"Woof," the Small Evil Spirit Dog whimpered.
Clink~ The Platinum Coin was returned to the money bag, colliding with the other Platinum Coins, producing a crisp and pleasant sound.
"As you know, the emotions of magical beasts aren't easy to control," Tang Zheng said, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, offering an apologetic smile.
Regardless of whether the Platinum Dragon Lord is involved, there's no point in overthinking it now.
The thought processes of these long-lived species that have lived for hundreds, or even thousands, of years are beyond the comprehension of those with shorter lifespans. Trying to figure out what they're thinking without sufficient information is just asking for trouble.
"Understood, understood," the middle-aged man said, breathing a sigh of relief and quickly responding.
"I'd like to post a request; I need to go to the front desk..." Tang Zheng suddenly said.
The middle-aged man said, "I can handle such a small matter for you directly."
As a Magic Caster in the Adventurer's Guild with appraisal abilities and capable of using second-tier magic, his talent may be limited, but his status is not low.
Such minor requests can be handled directly by his subordinates; there's no need for him to personally oversee them.
The reason he's being so attentive this time, aside from having just completed a large transaction worth 720 Gold Coins, is that there are some things he needs to confirm privately with the black-haired youth before him.
"The request is to find a Magic Caster who knows Decipher Magic," Tang Zheng said softly, "And I mean, preferably as soon as possible."
Before heading to the Bahharuth Empire, he has many things to prepare, and besides the issue of money, the most pressing is the problem of being illiterate.
In human society, not being able to read will always cause a lot of trouble, and the easiest way to solve this problem is to learn.
Even if the writing systems of the various human countries aren't completely the same, trying to learn a completely unfamiliar writing system would be a headache for Tang Zheng, who was a terrible student in his previous life.
Not to mention the time it would take.
Decipher Magic can analyze various texts and translate them into a language the user can understand, so since there's such a convenient spell, there's no need to waste time.
Or he could acquire a "Scholar"-type job, which also has similar skills in this area.
"Decipher Magic?"
"That's quite a rare spell," the middle-aged man said, a thoughtful expression on his face.
After a brief silence.
"This kind of magic is mostly used for research on some extinct countries from a hundred years ago. I do know a few people who have mastered it."
"But..."
At this point, the middle-aged man's face showed a troubled expression. "These people aren't short of money. If you can wait, I do know someone in the Royal Capital."
"However, inviting them over would take at least two months, and the reward would be over 50 Gold Coins."
Hearing this answer.
Tang Zheng shook his head. "Money isn't the problem, but the time is too long."
He can't stay in E-Rantel for that long.
Based on the current timeline.
The future Empire Four Knights, Heavy Strike Raines Rockbru, hasn't been recruited by the Bloody Emperor to join the ranks of the Four Knights yet.
She should have just been kicked out of her family not long ago and is now wandering around, looking for a way to remove the side effects of the Cursed Knight job.
Even if Tang Zheng goes to the Bahharuth Empire, finding Raines Rockbru will take some effort, and he won't waste a lot of time in E-Rantel.
Seeing Tang Zheng shake his head without hesitation.
The middle-aged man leaned back slightly, a smile appearing on his face. "There's also someone in E-Rantel who knows this magic."
"However, this information is worth ten Gold Coins."
Clatter!
Tang Zheng expressionlessly reached into the coin pouch on the table, took out ten Gold Coins from the compartment for Gold Coins, and placed them in front of the middle-aged man.
"The vice president of the Magic Caster Guild, Master Bellorye Vannoov Grigory Bertkin."
The middle-aged man said with a hint of respect, "He possesses 'Decipher Magic,' but rarely makes public appearances."
"Although he is the vice president of the Magic Caster Guild, it's more in name only. Even our president finds it difficult to meet him."
The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders at the end.
The meaning was obvious.
Tang Zheng's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
The president of the Magic Caster Guild in E-Rantel is named Teo Rakshiel, but this vice president was the first time he had heard of him.
Since even the president of the Adventurer's Guild couldn't meet him, Tang Zheng didn't think he had the ability to do so.
Ten Gold Coins bought him a piece of information that seemed useful but was actually completely useless.
In that case...
It seems I can only think of other ways. I wonder if there are any Magic Items that can translate text? Tang Zheng was about to stand up and turn to leave.
"Please wait a moment, sir," the middle-aged man quickly said.
"These two Evil Spirit Dog bone chains, you must have hunted them in the Tove Great Forest, right?"
"I wonder if you could tell us about the current situation in the Tove Great Forest. Regardless of whether the information is accurate, these ten Gold Coins will be considered an information fee."
"If you can provide us with important information, we will pay an additional fee that will surely satisfy you."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he pushed the ten Gold Coins on the table back in front of Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng looked at the ten Gold Coins in front of him, then at the respectful middle-aged man opposite him.
Good, good, good.
Playing this trick.
"The situation in the Tove Great Forest..."
As Tang Zheng put the Gold Coins back into his coin pouch, he stood up under the middle-aged man's expectant gaze and said faintly, "I don't know."
After speaking.
Leaving behind the stunned middle-aged man, Tang Zheng left the room with the Small Evil Spirit Dog.
"It seems that the information provided earlier was not satisfactory."
The middle-aged man looked at Tang Zheng's departing figure, smiled wryly, reached out and straightened his single-lens glasses, a glint flashing in his eyes. "Small Evil Spirit Dog, and two adult Evil Spirit Dog bone chains. No matter how you look at it, he should have entered the Tove Great Forest."
"Should I report to the president and send an Adventurer team to investigate... Never mind, since the higher-ups have already made a conclusion, as long as it doesn't affect the villages on the border."
"The lower-level Adventurers need to be appeased simply. The real trouble now is something else..."
