Chapter 248: Two Systems Fulfilled, January 1st, Year 3 Before the New Calendar
Imina quickened her steps to catch up with Tang Zheng, who had already walked ahead. Her narrow eyes glanced at his profile—a figure who appeared gentle, seemingly blending into the lively atmosphere of the celebration.
For some reason!
Imina always felt that the man before her was unfathomable. Despite his youthful appearance, it was as if an invisible barrier separated him from everyone else.
"What exactly are you trying to do, Tang?" Imina pursed her lips and suddenly spoke in a low voice.
"What?"
The surrounding clamor was so loud that Tang Zheng didn't seem to hear Imina's question. He turned his head and asked, puzzled.
Did he really not hear?
Obviously not. They weren't ordinary people.
"It's nothing," Imina said flatly after a moment's hesitation.
They didn't walk much further.
Tang Zheng paused, stopping in front of a stall where various brightly colored ornaments were on display.
Imina was a little puzzled. Looking at the items on the stall, she saw they were mostly women's accessories of no great value.
"How much for this hairband?"
Tang Zheng looked at the stall owner, pointing to a black, ring-shaped hairband decorated with a pattern of golden silk thread.
"Two silver coins." The stall owner looked up, his eyes brightening as he saw Tang Zheng and his companion, and he immediately stated the price.
Hearing the price, Imina frowned. The hairband was clearly not worth that much. However, what made her more curious was why he was buying a gift like this.
Tang Zheng nodded without haggling and took out two silver coins from his pocket, handing them over.
The owner's eyes widened for a moment, then his face was wreathed in smiles. He quickly grabbed an exquisite gift box from the side and placed the hairband inside.
Tang Zheng accepted the gift box, immediately reopened it, and took the hairband in his hand. A flash of magical light shone from his palm.
"Magic Imprint."
After casting the spell, Tang Zheng then put the hairband back into the gift box and handed it to Imina beside him.
"Who buys a gift for someone right in front of them?" Imina was stunned, but her eyes lit up as she took the gift box without hesitation.
"It's not for you. Help me give it to Leinas," Tang Zheng said calmly. "It has my residual magic on it, the same kind I've cast on you before."
Imina's face darkened. "Then where's my gift?"
Clearly, Imina didn't care about the magic at all.
"This is for you."
Tang Zheng raised his palm and flipped it over, as if performing a magic trick. From his item box, he retrieved a wine pot sealed with a wooden cork.
"This is wine brewed with dwarven techniques. Consider it an unexpected acquisition of mine."
He had left the "Great Wine Jug," the lizardman sacred treasure, with the group of dwarves in the Lava Zone, letting them drink from it.
After drinking for a long time, the dwarves felt the alcohol content was too low, so they purified it using their own brewing techniques.
"Who gives a girl a wine pot as a gift!"
Imina looked at the proffered wine pot, her amber pupils shifting. She complained out loud while quickly taking the pot into her hands.
Her pointed ears, hidden under her hood, were now slightly red.
Her greatest hobby was drinking, something Tang Zheng logically shouldn't have known, as she had never drunk in his presence.
After all, she couldn't hold her liquor well. Back in the Imperial Capital, she would often get into arguments after drinking and had even done many things she now found embarrassing.
This pot of wine might not be valuable, but it was clearly prepared with thought.
Imina carefully stole a glance at Tang Zheng, gripping the wine pot a little tighter. Feigning indifference, she said, "Since you gave me a gift, I have some good news for you."
"Then let's go."
Tang Zheng stopped and looked directly at Imina.
"Um, shouldn't we let them know?" Faced with his direct black-eyed gaze, Imina subconsciously couldn't meet his eyes.
"Cuiye is with them, so there's no need to worry about their safety," Tang Zheng said softly, turning his head to glance at Enri and the Green Leaf Witch, who were in high spirits amidst the crowd.
The figures of the two quickly disappeared into the crowd.
"Where's Lord Tang Zheng? I can't see him. He was right behind us a moment ago."
Enri belatedly realized and turned her head to look for Tang Zheng, but couldn't find him anywhere.
"He has his own business to attend to," the Green Leaf Witch said coolly.
"Oh."
Enri was a little disappointed, but soon her eyes lit up as she saw a crowd gathering in the distance. "Miss Cui Ye, look over there!"
As she spoke, Enri happily grabbed the Green Leaf Witch's hand and rushed ahead. For once, the Green Leaf Witch didn't resist.
It seemed Enri had a natural ability to make people feel close to her.
Outside the Royal Capital.
In a manor controlled by the Security Department of Eight Fingers.
Mages in casting robes were below, casting spells to display their abilities.
On the top floor of the manor, Tang Zheng and Imina stood by the window, watching the scene below.
"Well? Is there anyone who satisfies you?" Imina looked expectantly at the thoughtful Tang Zheng beside her.
At this moment, Tang Zheng was looking at the series of notifications flashing on his "Stat Panel," consuming skill points to master them.
Magic Type:
【Illusionist】· "False Death" (Third Tier): Creates an illusion that makes the opponent believe they have killed the caster.
【Court Mage】· "Hot Spring" (Third Tier): A life magic spell that creates a hot spring, which can be used for bathing to relieve fatigue.
Faith Caster:
【High Priestess】· "Dispel" (Third Tier): Dispels a summoned creature. Success depends on the levels, resistances, and skills of both parties.
【Priest】· "Solar Light" (Third Tier): Creates a blinding light, causing a blindness effect. Also deals a certain amount of damage to undead creatures.
【Beast Speaker】· "Animal Communication" (Third Tier): Allows communication with wild animals.
Skill Points: 66→61
...
Tang Zheng had finally selected some skills of value from the many magic casters below, acquiring new Basic Job Classes.
"A cost of five skill points," Tang Zheng mused, feeling it was a bit of a pity.
He hadn't acquired Basic Job Classes indiscriminately because skill points were precious, but now he had no choice.
Because the number of High-Tier Job Classes was too small.
As expected, the number of magic casters who had mastered the Magic Type and Faith Caster systems was the largest, so it was easy to satisfy the requirements for these two systems.
However!
Among the magic casters Imina had found, there was not a single one from the Mental Type or Other Type systems.
Tang Zheng knew from the beginning that the number of magic casters who had mastered these two magic systems was rare, but he didn't expect them to be this rare.
Currently, his four major magic systems were:
