Chapter 250: Daya, the Border Town of Ye Yiwuer
Suddenly, she heard a voice.
The brown-haired girl quickly looked up, saw Tang Zheng's familiar yet strange face, and scrambled to her feet. "Lo...rd!"
The pitch of the word was noticeably higher, a clear sign of her flustered surprise.
Having been squatting for a while, she stood up too hastily and staggered, nearly falling.
"No need to rush. I remember your name is Daya, right?" Tang Zheng only spoke after Daya had regained her footing.
The brown-haired girl before him was Daya, a member of the Adventurer's Guild he had met shortly after transmigrating to this world.
Speaking of which.
She had introduced him to many of the Adventurer's Guild's rules and had even wanted him to spend five copper coins to register as an adventurer. Unfortunately, he was very poor at the time.
They could hardly be considered familiar.
However, Tang Zheng had spent most of his time leveling up, so he hadn't met many people. Even fewer had left an impression on him.
"Yes, yes."
Daya replied quickly, her voice tinged with excitement. She never imagined that Tang Zheng would actually remember her name.
Back then, she thought he was just an ordinary outsider, but in the blink of an eye, he had become such a powerful figure.
"Is something the matter?" Tang Zheng asked.
"My younger brother's health has been poor for several years now..." Daya's eyes dimmed. "We've sought treatment from doctors and Priests at the Church, but nothing has worked."
"A while ago, I bought a bottle of the ordinary Regeneration Potion that you make, Lord. After my brother drank it, his health improved significantly."
At this point, Daya's eyes reddened. She looked at Tang Zheng with a mixture of gratitude and nervousness.
Tang Zheng's expression didn't change at all. He just nodded slightly, indicating he understood.
He remembered that Daya worked as a receptionist at the Adventurer's Guild. Furthermore, this was the Royal Capital, so her knowledge wouldn't be lacking.
The Regeneration Potion was effective, but healing magic and normal medical treatments were not?
A hint of contemplation flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes.
It wasn't hard to guess. On the surface, the Regeneration Potion was no different from a normal recovery potion.
In reality.
The Regeneration Potion utilizes the innate regenerative ability of a troll to replenish the drinker's life energy. It's a completely different concept from healing magic and recovery potions.
This was evident from its ability to cure congenital defects.
The fact that Daya's brother could recover after drinking the Regeneration Potion pointed to two possibilities: a curse, or a congenital illness he'd had since birth.
Judging from Daya's description, it was likely the second one.
"So?" Tang Zheng prompted.
"I wish to purchase a bottle of high-grade Regeneration Potion from you, Lord." After she finished speaking, Daya gave Tang Zheng a deep bow.
If even an ordinary Regeneration Potion had an effect on her brother, then a high-grade one might be able to cure him completely.
But compared to ordinary potions, a high-grade Regeneration Potion was something she could never hope to buy. Even if she offered more money, it would never be her turn.
For top-tier adventurers, it was a potion that could provide a sustained effect in combat, a lifesaver in a critical moment.
And the nobles bought up these potions without a second thought.
Coupled with the fact that Free Will sold too few high-grade potions each day, ordinary people like her never stood a chance.
"I see. The price is ten gold coins."
Tang Zheng nodded, reached into the magic leather pouch hanging at his waist, and a Regeneration Potion appeared in his hand.
This potion wasn't precious to him—he could even make it casually—but he wouldn't just give it away for free.
Daya's gaze fell upon the potion bottle, which shimmered with a deep blue luster under the sunlight. Her hands trembled as she hastily pulled a coin pouch from her pocket, afraid he might go back on his word.
She had never expected it to be so easy.
Tang Zheng took the heavy coin pouch, handed her the potion, then counted out ten gold coins from the pouch and tossed the rest back.
"The price is ten gold coins. You gave me too much," Tang Zheng said in his usual calm tone.
"Lord..." Daya was stunned.
"I only sell high-grade Regeneration Potions for ten gold coins. As for how much the resellers charge, that's their business."
Tang Zheng said flatly, then paused. "One bottle might not be enough to completely cure your brother."
"Tomorrow, go find that woman named... hmm, Samantha. Tell her she can set aside one high-grade potion for you from the daily batch I give them."
"As for the price, that's something I can't influence."
"In a while, I'll be leaving the Royal Capital as well."
After speaking,
Tang Zheng gave Daya a wave and turned to head back into the inn.
"Thank you."
Clutching the potion tightly, Daya bowed three times to Tang Zheng's departing back.
Those few sentences contained a lot of information. As a receptionist for the Royal Capital's Adventurer's Guild, Daya was obviously no fool.
Entering the inn.
Tang Zheng saw Enri hiding by the doorway, peeking. An amused look appeared on his face. "Satisfied?"
"You're the best person in the world, Lord!" Enri chirped.
"Heh."
Tang Zheng shook his head lightly, his tone calm but his words holding a deeper meaning. "Peaceful times are always fleeting."
I hope you won't disappoint me, Enri.
Besides, I've never been a good person.
The white priest's robe swayed.
Enri looked up in confusion at Tang Zheng as he walked up the stairs, naturally unable to understand the meaning behind his words.
Returning to his inn room.
Tang Zheng glanced at the Ghoul Dog, closed his eyes, and sensed the stirrings of a magical mark he had been keeping track of.
"It hasn't moved for a while. Based on my calculations, it should have arrived by now."
Tang Zheng muttered to himself, and a surge of magic power suddenly erupted from his body.
Teleport!
In the next instant,
The view before him warped, and a larger, yet much plainer, room came into sight.
Tang Zheng surveyed the room, walked to the cabinet in front of him, opened a drawer, and took out a wooden box.
There was nothing of value inside, just a single copper coin—or more accurately, a copper coin with a magical mark attached to it.
He tossed the wooden box into his item box.
Tang Zheng walked to the room's window and looked outside.
Simple dirt roads crisscrossed between low-slung, antiquated houses. Despite the worn-out feel, the streets were bustling with enough pedestrians to give an impression of prosperity.
This was clearly not the Royal Capital, but a border town.
Ye Yiwuer!
As early as the second day after entering the Royal Capital, Tang Zheng had used Imina's subordinates to transport this copper coin, to which he had affixed a magical mark, to this border town.
The Re-Estize Kingdom had a total of three border cities.
E-Rantel, which connected to the Baharuth Empire and the Slane Theocracy, serving as a junction between the three nations.
Ye Arsenal, which bordered the Northwest Council State.
And Ye Yiwuer, which bordered the Holy Kingdom.
Among them, the most famous and prosperous was naturally E-Rantel.
The situation with the Council State was special, so Ye Arsenal didn't have much of a presence. But among the three border cities, the one with the least presence was actually Ye Yiwuer.
Many people didn't even know this city existed, because Ye Yiwuer could better be described as a town.
This town was located at the very center of the border between the Holy Kingdom's Kalinxia and the Re-Estize Kingdom's Re Loberu, and it had long been gradually abandoned.
In fact, further north, the port city of Re Loberu had ships that sailed directly to the Holy Kingdom.
Ye Yiwuer, on the other hand, was too close to the central region—one could also say it was close to the Abelion Hills, where large numbers of demi-human tribes existed.
This made the living conditions here even more dangerous than in E-Rantel.
"I wonder how the Warrior King, Gagaran, is doing."
Tang Zheng recalled the information about this town and withdrew his gaze from the window. His next plans involved the Holy Kingdom and the Abelion Hills.
Naturally, he had to lay the groundwork in advance!
That was one objective. The other was that group of Dwarf Artisans.
He planned to buy a large manor in this border town, which the Kingdom had all but ignored, and temporarily settle the Dwarf Artisans there.
Staying in the Lava Zone was not a long-term solution.
Next.
Tang Zheng put on a disguise and let his money do the talking, quickly purchasing a large, desolate piece of land and a manor on the edge of the town.
To avoid being disturbed, he even specifically chose a location near the Abelion Hills mountain range. Others might fear the demi-humans, but Tang Zheng didn't care.
Then, he spent another night on it.
After knocking the Dwarves unconscious, Tang Zheng used teleportation magic to bring them all to this manor.
It wasn't until noon the next day that Tang Zheng finally finished dealing with these miscellaneous tasks.
Royal Capital, the inn.
*Click.*
Tang Zheng pushed open the door and saw the Green Leaf Witch and Enri, who had been waiting at the door for some time. He raised an eyebrow.
"Why aren't you in formal attire?" Tang Zheng was a little surprised.
