Renners and Imina had already left that night.
With such a major event as the extermination of two noble families, Renners would soon be targeted, so it was best to leave the Bahharuth Empire as soon as possible.
The matter he entrusted to the two women was slightly more complicated on Renners' side, but if handled well, the benefits would be significant.
The kingdom and the empire were in a state of war, especially now, with the kingdom suffering severe losses. A noblewoman who had slaughtered two major families of the empire had arrived within their borders.
This was simply a living example of a blow to the Bloody Emperor's centralization of power and reputation.
The kingdom's nobles might have some aversion and rejection towards what Renners had done, but compared to Gazef, who was of commoner origin, Renners, a noblewoman with powerful strength, would be more easily accepted by the nobles.
Especially since what Renners had done made it impossible for her to be a spy sent by the empire, and even cut off her hope of returning to the empire.
With these qualities combined, Tang Zheng didn't believe that the royal family members would remain idle.
"Building a force? Nothing is more direct than manipulating a country."
"It's a pity that the empire is too close to the location where the Great Tomb of Nazarick descended, and it surrendered too quickly. It's not suitable to have too many arrangements here."
Tang Zheng raised his hand, stroking the Small Evil Spirit Dog's somewhat rough and stiff black fur. "Tell me, which one is more suitable, the First Prince Babuluo, the Second Prince Senaike, or the Third Princess Lana?"
"Woof~"
The Small Evil Spirit Dog narrowed its eyes, letting out a comfortable hum.
It naturally couldn't provide an answer.
...
Imperial Capital Royal Palace.
Inside the brightly lit, luxurious palace hall.
The Bloody Emperor Jircniv looked at the detailed information in his hand regarding the annihilation of the two noble families, a hint of frost on his face.
"Are you sure it's Renners Lockburrs?"
The Bloody Emperor Jircniv spoke in a cold voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The secretary quickly lowered his head and said, "Whether it's the motive or the people in the two territories, they have all seen someone who looks very similar to Renners Lockburrs."
"That crazy woman!"
A vein popped up on the Bloody Emperor Jircniv's forehead. He raised his hand and pressed the document in his hand forcefully on the table.
Bang! "Find her immediately and arrest her!" The Bloody Emperor Jircniv's tone was icy.
Although he had long been dissatisfied with these incompetent and pedantic nobles, he had planned to gradually eliminate them. What Renners had done would inevitably allow those old guys who remained to take the opportunity to counterattack.
Of course!
He would never allow such unstable people to exist within the empire.
The good mood he had from achieving good results on the border battlefield was swept away because of this incident.
"How is the research on Alchemy Potions going at the Magic Province?"
The Bloody Emperor Jircniv raised both hands, gently rubbing his temples, and asked with majesty without raising his head.
"There is currently no progress."
"The Magic Province suspects that the other party's means of refining Alchemy is not the existing Alchemy techniques and methods. They hope that Your Majesty can invite the other party."
The secretary, holding a stack of documents, quickly spoke, unhesitatingly selecting a copy from the many documents in his arms and placing it in front of the Bloody Emperor Jircniv. "This is all the information collected about the Adventurer Tang Zheng. There isn't much information."
The Bloody Emperor Jircniv reached out and took the information, his golden pupils quickly scanning it, then closed the information and placed it on the table, tapping his fingers lightly on the information in silence.
"Reject the Magic Province's request."
The Bloody Emperor Jircniv spoke, then paused, "Is there a problem with the old man's side?"
"Fluder is also interested in that Alchemy Potion, but he hasn't mentioned it proactively." The secretary thought for a moment, then spoke without hesitation.
"Mm."
The Bloody Emperor Jircniv nodded, his gaze returning to the documents in his hand. "What do you think?"
The secretary stood ramrod straight, a pair of sharp eyes visible beneath his light blond hair. "This Alchemist Adventurer named Tang is suspicious!"
"Oh?" The Bloody Emperor Jircniv's lips curled up, his golden eyes lifting to look at the secretary.
"According to the information obtained from the Adventurer's Guild, he registered as an Adventurer in 'E-Rantel' of the Re-Estize Kingdom a little over a month ago."
"Then he entered our Empire, during which his specific whereabouts were very erratic for nearly half a month, as if he was looking for something."
"Only in the last half month, up until now, has he come to the Royal Capital to sell Alchemy Potions. Judging from the price of the potions and the stir he's created in the market, his goal isn't money."
The secretary said seriously.
"Then what is it for?" The Bloody Emperor Jircniv leaned back, his tone lazy and amused.
"There's too little information to make an accurate judgment."
"However, during his few outings, he appeared at the Imperial Magic Academy once and came into contact with two students, Arshe Fielde and Frianne Vearia Lan Gucimond."
As the secretary spoke, he selected another document from the files in his arms and placed it in front of the Bloody Emperor.
"Fielde?"
Hearing this somewhat unfamiliar family name, one he didn't recognize, the Bloody Emperor Jircniv was puzzled.
"A small family stripped of its noble title by Your Majesty. The eldest daughter, Arshe Fielde, is one of the most famous geniuses in the Imperial Magic Academy," the secretary said.
As for the other name, no introduction was needed.
"Gucimond..."
The Bloody Emperor ignored Arshe of the small family, narrowed his eyes, and murmured to himself softly, then said, "Doesn't attend any invitations from various parties, spends most of his time in his residence in the noble district, huh."
"Doesn't care about money or fame, I'd like to know what he wants."
"Have someone keep an eye on him."
"Yes, Your Majesty," the secretary said respectfully.
...
Due to Imina's departure.
Tang Zheng had to do some things himself, such as delivering the Alchemy Potions to the Adventurer's Guild for sale.
As a result, he met the incredibly enthusiastic president of the Imperial Capital Adventurer's Guild, a middle-aged man with a bit of a merchant's air.
After a friendly exchange between the two parties,
Tang Zheng increased the number of Regeneration Potions from five to eight per day, although ostensibly he was still providing five per day.
In return, the president of the Adventurer's Guild raised Tang Zheng's Adventurer rank from "Copper Rank" to "Gold Rank" and paid an additional 1,000 Gold Coins.
It should be known that the Adventurer's Guild has explicit rules that, regardless of an Adventurer's strength, they must complete tasks to raise their rank.
And the president of the Imperial Capital Adventurer's Guild did not break the rules.
Because the effects of the Regeneration Potion were indeed excellent, coupled with its popularity, some wealthy nobles or merchants directly posted requests at the Adventurer's Guild.
Since they were tasks, Tang Zheng, as an Adventurer, could naturally accept them.
If one had to say something.
It was that the Adventurer's Guild processed the tasks a little faster, and the time it took to increase from "Copper Rank" to "Gold Rank" was a little shorter.
There were no problems with the procedure.
Of course, according to the president of the Imperial Capital Adventurer's Guild, wanting to rise above "Gold Rank" again would involve stricter requirements and a relatively long review period.
He would also have to do some normal tasks.
Quickly rising to Gold Rank Adventurer was already the maximum authority the president of the Adventurer's Guild could grant.
The organization, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, no longer had any loopholes, and the rules had been supplemented to near perfection.
To this.
Tang Zheng only felt a little regretful, he originally thought he could grind Adventurer tasks.
However, being able to rise from the lowest-ranked Adventurer to a Gold Rank Adventurer without wasting time was already a pleasant surprise.
Besides this little surprise.
In the following three days, Tang Zheng discovered something else.
He was being watched! Not by the various forces in the Imperial Capital, but by some patrolling soldiers.
Bang—
The heavy door of the noble courtyard closed.
Tang Zheng turned around expressionlessly and walked back into the courtyard.
"The last glimmer of hope has been extinguished."
Tang Zheng sighed softly, the plaque hanging on his waist, now made of gold, swayed slightly as he walked.
He had previously thought that the Bloody Emperor hadn't noticed him, which was why there had been no movement, but the appearance of these stalking soldiers made him realize that this plan to obtain the Immortal class had failed.
Given the Bloody Emperor's personality, learning about the abilities he had displayed but not summoning him, instead sending people to monitor him, meant that the Bloody Emperor was already wary of him.
"Indeed, I was too hasty."
Tang Zheng recalled what he had done during this period and shook his head.
"It's time to leave."
Tang Zheng glanced at the beautiful, fountain-filled courtyard, his eyes showing no trace of nostalgia.
He would have to acquire the Immortal class next time, but by then, he wouldn't use such gentle methods.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Suddenly, a loud knocking sound rang out.
It was as if someone was using a large sledgehammer to strike the heavy door with force.
Tang Zheng's expression froze, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a Magic Scroll appeared in his hand at the first moment, then he turned and walked back towards the door.
Before he could even get close to the door, the expression on Tang Zheng's face relaxed.
He already knew who was coming.
An unexpected person, the Martial King Go Gin! That enormous body, over three meters tall, was already a head taller than his door, making it hard not to recognize him.
