## Chapter 120: Return to the Imperial Capital - "Martial King" Go Gin
"Recruit people?"
Tang Zheng hadn't expected Renners to ask that so suddenly. After a moment of thought, he shook his head.
He had too many secrets, and joining the Adventurer's Guild was just for convenience.
"Sorry, I don't have any plans to recruit anyone," Tang Zheng said, declining.
"Is that so?"
A hint of disappointment flashed in Renners' eyes upon hearing this, and she bit her lip slightly. "About the reward..."
"Three thousand... two thousand Gold Coins."
Tang Zheng's eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth, quoting a slightly lower price.
He was desperately short of money right now. Apart from Gold Coins, nothing else interested him, and Renners couldn't offer any other rewards that would.
And when it came to money, how much would someone who had been kicked out of their family and was wandering around have?
"Two thousand Gold Coins?"
Renners' voice rose slightly when she heard the amount, as if she had been stimulated in some way. She raised her right arm and placed it on her left shoulder, giving Tang Zheng a deep bow.
"I decided on the reward a long time ago."
Immediately after.
Renners picked up her black spear and turned to leave.
"What does that mean?" Tang Zheng didn't understand what Renners was trying to do.
She just left like that? So... he wasn't even getting two thousand Gold Coins?
...
Xia Huo Month, August 31st.
By the time Tang Zheng returned to the Imperial Capital, it was already the end of August.
He and Renners had left the Imperial Capital on August 24th, so seven days had passed since then.
Of course.
This time, only Tang Zheng returned to the Imperial Capital. As for Renners, she had mysteriously run off and disappeared.
Noble District, residence.
First floor, main hall.
"You're finally back, Alchemist," Imina said, crossing her arms and speaking in a cold tone.
"Sorry, it took a little longer than expected."
Tang Zheng smiled helplessly, reaching out to stroke the Small Evil Spirit Dog that was constantly rubbing against his leg. "What happened while I was gone?"
"The Herb Guild sent people to invite you again the day after you left the Imperial Capital."
"Then came the Adventurer's Guild."
"The rest were Workers and Adventurer teams who wanted to use the Regeneration Potion you developed to treat their injuries."
"And of course, some nobles."
Imina extended her slender hand, counting off her fingers one by one, quickly recounting the events that had occurred during that time.
"I refused them all for you. As for the reasons, I followed your instructions and said you were researching a new potion, and also mentioned that there wasn't enough blood from the Ogres to continue producing Regeneration Potions."
"Of course, none of that is a problem."
Imina pinched a delicate invitation from her pocket, flicked her wrist, and sent it flying towards Tang Zheng, saying in a serious tone, "This is the real trouble."
Tang Zheng reached out and caught the flying invitation, opened it, and looked at the contents, activating Decipher Magic in the process.
"Osk?"
Tang Zheng's eyes showed a thoughtful expression when he saw this name. He felt like the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was right away.
"The Imperial Capital's biggest merchant, and the Arena's sponsor."
Imina opened her mouth to remind him.
"According to the information, the banquet was held two days ago at the Empire's most luxurious hotel."
"Don't worry, the time has long passed."
"Congratulations, you've offended one of the most untouchable figures in the entire Imperial Capital." Imina said expressionlessly, congratulating him.
Tang Zheng was speechless, but he didn't really care.
Just a merchant with connections, it's not like he really intends to stay in the Bahharuth Empire.
With his current strength, even if he doesn't reveal all of it, just using Angel Summoning is enough to reach the level of an Orichalcum Rank Adventurer in the Adventurer's Guild's assessment.
He's only one step away from the top Adamantite Rank Adventurers.
You should know that there are only two teams of Adamantite Rank Adventurers in the entire Bahharuth Empire, and they all achieved it by relying on numerical advantages and complementary professions.
And Adamantite Rank Adventurers not only represent status, but also a symbol of strength, their value is much higher than that of a country's big merchant.
Speaking of which.
In terms of overall national strength, the Bahharuth Empire is indeed stronger than the Re-Estize Kingdom, but in terms of high-end combat power, it is weaker.
"Has anyone from the royal palace come?" Tang Zheng asked, this is what he really cares about.
The Cursed Knight is already in hand, but the Immortal profession, so far, still has no clue.
Unlike Renners's situation, Tang Zheng can only passively wait for Fluder's side.
He has been in the Bahharuth Empire for a month, and he can't continue to waste time betting on this uncertainty.
"The royal palace?"
Imina glanced at Tang Zheng in surprise, and shook her head, "No, there hasn't been."
Tang Zheng was a little disappointed.
The commotion he has caused so far is not small, and he has also treated several disabled nobles, it's impossible for the Bloody Emperor not to notice with his abilities.
But, there has been no movement so far.
"Hey, what you should be concerned about now is something else." Imina's amber pupils showed solemnity as she reminded him, "Some time ago, after the news spread that there was not enough Ogre blood to make Regeneration Potions, some nobles specifically brought captured Ogres over."
"Oh?"
Tang Zheng raised his head and looked around the courtyard, and found that apart from the weak Ogre that was tied up, there were no other Ogres.
"Don't bother looking, they were sent back halfway." Imina flicked her purple ponytail.
"Is this Osk's doing?" Tang Zheng's eyes paused, and he frowned.
"To be precise, it's Martial King Go Gin." A trace of respect and seriousness flashed across Imina's face.
Martial King Go Gin can be said to be the most famous figure in the entire Bahharuth Empire, especially since he is a Demi-human who relied on his unparalleled strength to cause a sensation throughout the Empire.
Becoming a symbol of the Empire! This is even more legendary for Imina, who is a Half-Elf.
Martial King Go Gin, huh?
A touch of seriousness also appeared on Tang Zheng's face. He didn't expect that the other party would care about ordinary Ogres. Among the people in the entire Bahharuth Empire who are truly worth paying attention to, Martial King Go Gin is definitely one of them.
The other party has already reached the Hero Domain, according to the level calculation, at least level 30 or above, especially since the other party is a Demi-human, with attribute bonuses.
His true strength is stronger than humans of the same level.
The strength of Gu, one of the three dominators of the Tove Great Forest, the "Eastern Giant", is not as strong as Martial King Go Gin.
In Bone King's words, it's the difference between a wild boar and a meat pig!
"According to rumors outside, you had to stop selling Alchemy Potions made with Ogre blood because of Martial King Go Gin."
Imina bit her lip angrily. She naturally knows the real reason, but this kind of rumor is obviously more credible in the eyes of outsiders.
The current Bloody Emperor, Jircniv, is Martial King Go Gin's biggest supporter, which is no secret to the people of the Imperial Capital.
Once such rumors appear.
Whether it was true or false, even if someone wanted to befriend Tang Zheng, this genius alchemist, they had to extinguish the thought.
"Damn it!"
Imina said angrily, "We haven't been able to purchase Ogres for a while now, I'm afraid this group of people is behind it."
