chapter 262 part 2
Tang Zheng shook his head helplessly. There was no sign of drunkenness on his face; perhaps due to his increased level, mere alcohol no longer had any effect on him.
"Scentless."
Tang Zheng raised his arm and waved it in the air. With a flash of magical light, the smell of alcohol and food instantly vanished without a trace.
This was a First Tier magic. Aside from using it frequently when he first entered the Touv Great Forest, he hadn't used it in a very long time.
"You'll have to clean the room yourself, Leinas."
After dispelling the smell, Tang Zheng opened the window, letting fresh air pour in from outside as he spoke to the drunken Leinas.
A gentle breeze flowed in.
It caused Leinas's golden hair and Imina's purple strands to dance in the air as they lay on the table.
Tang Zheng rose and walked over to Imina's side. He reached out, grabbed her shoulder, and with a gentle exertion of force, easily hoisted her onto his shoulder.
A faint, elegant fragrance, not overpowering and somewhat like a Milan flower, drifted to his nose. Imina's slender waist trembled imperceptibly.
"I remember you've mastered the 【Cleric】 job. Since you can master a Faith-based caster job, you should spend time focusing on mastering the 【Priest】 job."
"It will be of great benefit to your strength."
Tang Zheng reminded the motionless Leinas, who was still slumped on the table, then his figure flickered and disappeared once again.
Only after Tang Zheng had completely left did Leinas, who had been pretending to be drunk, finally lift her head. "The Priest job, huh? Ugh, he saw through my act after all."
"That Imina, she must have guessed that Master would carry her back personally, so she pretended to be drunk first. She's probably been looking for a chance for this kind of close contact for a while now."
Leinas's eyes still held a trace of alcohol-induced haze. She rubbed her temples and gritted her teeth.
Meanwhile, after Tang Zheng brought Imina back to the castle where they were staying, he immediately teleported away.
Third Year before the New Calendar,
Upper Water Month, the 8th.
Tang Zheng's group had entered the Royal Capital on the 20th of the twelfth month.
After the Prayer Day celebration, they spent five days in the Great Wetland studying a magic ritual, followed by Princess Renner's invitation and other matters.
The sky was just beginning to brighten.
On the streets of the Royal Capital, some of the small vendors had not even begun to hawk their wares.
A large, sturdy, though not luxurious, carriage drove down the street, attracting the gazes of many early morning pedestrians.
Such a carriage was large enough for five or six people. At the back, a special, separate compartment had been added, piled high with goods.
The unique construction of the carriage was clearly the work of a skilled artisan, specially built and reinforced.
Because of this construction, ordinary horses couldn't pull it. It required at least four strong warhorses.
Of course, if a monster was used to pull the carriage, that was another matter entirely.
The Evil Spirit Hound, with a sturdy chain wrapped around its body, pulled the large carriage from behind. Its four limbs moved with a light and brisk pace, heading steadily toward the city gate.
The interior of the carriage was very spacious. A partition, decorated with soft beast hide, had been specially installed in the middle, which also provided a degree of soundproofing.
Tang Zheng sat in the rear compartment, separated from Enri and the Green Leaf Witch. The ordinary carriage they had used before had been damaged after the long, bumpy journey.
So, he had simply spent the money to have a new one custom-built by an artisan.
"The distance from the Royal Capital to the border city of 'Ye Yiwuer' is about the same as the distance to 'E-Rantel'."
"Even with the Evil Spirit Hound's speed, it will take seven to eight days. With inevitable stops and delays, it will take at least ten days."
"'Free Will' doesn't need to travel too quickly; we can afford to take our time. Since I'm unsure if we're being watched, sticking to a clear travel route can actually help conceal my true movements."
Tang Zheng thought to himself. Of course, he had no intention of traveling with the carriage.
*Rumble~*
*Rumble~*
The heavy wheels of the carriage pressed against the road, emitting a low, muffled hum. With the Evil Spirit Hound, a monster, clearing the way, there were no obstructions.
When they reached the city gate, the soldiers waved them through from a distance without any inspection.
The reputation of the adventurer team "Free Will" in the Royal Capital was now, to some extent, even greater than that of "Blue Rose." Naturally, no clueless soldier would dare to block or inspect them.
After leaving the Royal Capital, the speed of the carriage pulled by the Evil Spirit Hound gradually slowed.
Through the wooden window, Enri looked out at the scenery with a happy expression. Her experiences during this period were more rich and exciting than all her previous experiences combined.
"We're setting off again. I wonder where Lord will go next?"
Enri felt as if she had become a character in one of those hero or adventure tales.
*Maybe in the future, my story will be passed down too.*
Enri propped her chin on her hand and fantasized.
Gradually, a wave of drowsiness washed over her.
Enri felt her eyelids grow heavy. After struggling to stay awake for a while, she fell into a deep sleep.
*Click!*
The Green Leaf Witch glanced at Enri, then calmly slid open the soundproof partition. "Master."
"Get ready."
Tang Zheng nodded.
The Green Leaf Witch immediately stood up, leaped nimbly out of the window, and landed on the cargo-filled compartment at the rear of the carriage. From the very bottom, she pulled out an unconscious man and brought him back inside.
"His build is indeed quite similar to mine," Tang Zheng remarked with a light laugh as he sized up the unconscious man.
This man was a black market thief who had set his sights on Enri. The Green Leaf Witch had captured him alive and originally planned to kill him, but Tang Zheng stopped her.
He gave the Green Leaf Witch a look.
*Smack!*
The Green Leaf Witch unceremoniously slapped the unconscious man across the face.
The sudden pain jolted the man awake. He looked around at his surroundings with a dazed expression. When he saw the faces of the Green Leaf Witch and Tang Zheng clearly, a look of terror appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth, intending to beg for mercy.
"Human Racial Charm."
The Green Leaf Witch activated the charm magic.
