Tang Zheng's gaze swept over the skill description, focusing on the phrase 'Unexpected product of strengthening "Rune Technology" and "Degradation · Flesh Armament".'
He understood that replicating his situation was almost impossible.
Unless someone followed his exact path, which was impossible for the people of this world, and equally impossible for Undead King and his group.
Because in this world, "Rune Technology" and the game's "Demonization Technology" were in conflict!
However, this "Bountiful Blessing" Rune Demonization method still showed Tang Zheng the potential of Rune Technology to be no weaker than the Demonization Technology in the «YGGDRASIL» game.
With a wave of his hand.
The Sun Angler under his feet was returned to the Item Box.
"Flight!"
Tang Zheng's figure flew out of the Magma Sea, landed on the ground, and walked towards the outer edge of the Lava Zone.
With a thought, the Crimson Full-body Armor covering his body transformed into a blood-colored mist, re-integrating into Tang Zheng's body. Then, he took out a new set of clothes from the Item Box and put them on.
Arriving at the outer area.
Tang Zheng didn't disturb the Dwarven Artisans who were lying exhausted on the ground. Instead, he found a spot, sat down, took out food and water, and quietly began to eat.
It wasn't until near dusk.
That the group of Dwarven Artisans finished resting, cautiously gathered together, and looked at Tang Zheng, who was leisurely grilling meat that sizzled with oil, not far away.
No one dared to step forward, but many Dwarven Artisans swallowed, smelling the aroma in the air.
The excitement of engraving high-level Rune Scripts had faded, and now all the dwarves looked at Tang Zheng with fear in their eyes.
Putting everything else aside!
The fact that this human was unharmed by the continuous high temperature emitted by the Heat Ore was beyond the comprehension of all the Dwarven Artisans.
"Human, what do you need us to do next?" The highest-ranking Dwarven Artisan walked out from the crowd and asked directly.
Faced with such a question.
Tang Zheng looked at the group of Dwarven Artisans with some surprise, took a bite of the grilled meat, and said unhurriedly, "I thought you would ask me to send you back."
"We did have that thought, but it seems impossible."
"You brought us here, so you probably never intended to let us go back from the start."
The highest-ranking Dwarven Artisan scratched his thick beard and said indifferently, "We Rune Artisans are not highly valued in our clan. Now that we have enough fine wine to drink and can study Rune Scripts here."
"This old man thinks it's not bad, hehehe."
The Dwarven Artisan laughed heartily, but then changed the subject, "It doesn't matter to me, an old man with no family, but the younger ones behind me still have families."
Tang Zheng nodded calmly.
He knew that this Dwarven Artisan was negotiating with him. Knowing that they couldn't possibly be released by Tang Zheng, they wanted Tang Zheng to bring their families over as well.
"This is just a small matter for me." Tang Zheng revealed a smile and said softly.
Hearing this.
The dwarves all looked relieved.
Obviously, it wasn't just concern for their families, but also the fear that they might be killed after completing the replication technology.
"For the time being, everyone will live here. After your families are transferred over and a place to research Rune Technology is prepared, I will move everyone there together."
Tang Zheng spoke again, which completely reassured the Dwarven Artisans.
How to settle these Dwarven Artisans.
Wasn't a big problem, even with their families, there wouldn't be more than 100 people.
This number wasn't a problem for Tang Zheng to find a place to settle down, the key was to allow this group of Dwarven Artisans to study Rune Technology to their heart's content.
This required a lot of financial support.
"It seems that I have to take full control of Eight Fingers. There may be more places to spend money and use people in the future."
...
Tang Zheng looked at the map.
Karn Village was located in the center of the territory of the Sorcerer Kingdom, and it was also the closest village to him.
"Let's go there first and take a look."
Tang Zheng made a decision in his heart.
He didn't intend to go to the royal capital of the Sorcerer Kingdom. After all, he was now a wanted criminal in the Sorcerer Kingdom.
Although he wasn't afraid of the Undead King, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
After all, he still needed to develop in the Sorcerer Kingdom.
"Let's go to Karn Village first, and then find a way to meet Renners and Imina."
Tang Zheng thought to himself.
He had a good impression of these two people.
Especially Renners, who was very intelligent and had a good understanding of the political situation. If he could get her help, it would be much easier for him to develop in the Sorcerer Kingdom.
"Let's go!"
Tang Zheng waved his hand and led the Evil Spirit Dogs towards Karn Village.
...
Middle Earth Month, 20th.
Karn Village.
This was a small village located in the center of the Sorcerer Kingdom.
The village was surrounded by forests, and the environment was very beautiful.
However, the villagers in Karn Village were not happy.
Because the village was too poor.
The land was barren, and the harvest was not good.
In addition, the Sorcerer Kingdom imposed heavy taxes, making the lives of the villagers even more difficult.
"Village Chief, what should we do? If this continues, we won't be able to survive!"
In the Village Chief's house, a villager looked at the Village Chief with a worried expression.
The Village Chief was an old man in his sixties, with a face full of wrinkles.
He sighed and said, "I don't know either. The Sorcerer Kingdom's taxes are too heavy. We can't afford to pay them at all."
"Village Chief, why don't we run away? Let's go to another country!"
Another villager suggested.
The Village Chief shook his head and said, "Where can we go? All the countries are the same. They all impose heavy taxes. Besides, we don't have any money. How can we afford to travel?"
The villagers were silent.
They knew that what the Village Chief said was true.
They were too poor.
They couldn't afford to go anywhere.
"Village Chief, why don't we ask the Adventurers for help? They are very powerful and might be able to help us."
A villager suggested.
The Village Chief shook his head and said, "Adventurers are very expensive. We can't afford to hire them."
"But Village Chief, if we don't do anything, we will all starve to death!"
The villagers were anxious.
The Village Chief was silent for a moment, then said, "Let me think about it."
At this moment.
A villager ran in from outside.
"Village Chief, something bad has happened! A group of Demon Creatures have appeared outside the village!"
"What?!"
The Village Chief was shocked.
Demon Creatures were very dangerous.
If they attacked the village, the villagers would be in danger.
"How many Demon Creatures are there?"
The Village Chief asked anxiously.
"There are about a dozen of them. They are all Evil Spirit Dogs!"
The villager replied.
"Evil Spirit Dogs?!"
The Village Chief's face turned pale.
Evil Spirit Dogs were very difficult to deal with.
They were fast, agile, and had sharp teeth.
Ordinary villagers were no match for them at all.
"Quick, everyone, get ready to fight! We must protect our village!"
The Village Chief shouted loudly.
The villagers picked up their weapons and rushed out of the house.
They knew that this was a matter of life and death.
If they lost, they would all die.
...
Outside Karn Village.
A dozen Evil Spirit Dogs were surrounding the village.
These Evil Spirit Dogs were all black, with red eyes and sharp teeth.
They were drooling, looking at the villagers with greedy eyes.
"Everyone, be careful! These Evil Spirit Dogs are very dangerous!"
The Village Chief shouted loudly.
The villagers formed a circle, holding their weapons tightly.
They were all very nervous, but they knew that they had to fight.
"Woof!"
An Evil Spirit Dog barked and pounced on a villager.
The villager was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground.
The Evil Spirit Dog bit the villager's neck.
"Ah!"
The villager screamed and died.
The other villagers were shocked.
They didn't expect the Evil Spirit Dogs to be so powerful.
"Kill them!"
The Village Chief shouted loudly.
The villagers attacked the Evil Spirit Dogs.
However, the villagers were no match for the Evil Spirit Dogs.
They were quickly defeated.
One by one, the villagers fell to the ground, dead.
The Evil Spirit Dogs were getting closer and closer to the Village Chief.
The Village Chief knew that he was going to die.
He closed his eyes and waited for death to come.
Just then.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of the Village Chief.
It was a young man wearing a Priest Robe.
The young man raised his hand and cast a Magic spell.
*"Bountiful Blessing!"*
A golden light shone on the Evil Spirit Dogs.
The Evil Spirit Dogs screamed and fell to the ground, dead.
The Village Chief opened his eyes and looked at the young man in surprise.
He didn't expect someone to save him.
"Are you alright?"
Tang Zheng looked at the Village Chief and asked with a smile.
"I'm fine, thank you for saving me."
The Village Chief said gratefully.
"You're welcome. It's my duty to help those in need."
Tang Zheng said with a smile.
"May I ask who you are?"
The Village Chief asked curiously.
"I am Tang Zheng, an Adventurer."
Tang Zheng replied.
"Adventurer?"
The Village Chief was surprised.
He didn't expect an Adventurer to come to their village.
"What are you doing here?"
The Village Chief asked.
"I'm just passing by. I heard that there are Demon Creatures here, so I came to take a look."
Tang Zheng replied.
"Thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, our village would have been destroyed."
The Village Chief said gratefully.
"You're welcome. It's my pleasure to help."
Tang Zheng said with a smile.
"Please come to my house and rest for a while."
The Village Chief invited.
"Alright."
Tang Zheng nodded and followed the Village Chief to his house.
That thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind.
He wasn't short on small amounts of money, but when it came to matters at the national level, Tang Zheng, who currently lacked influence, found it difficult to get started.
Although Renners and Imina were both pieces he had laid out in advance, they wouldn't make any major moves without his instructions.
There seemed to be many things to do next, but they could be summarized into two points: First, establish a presence at the national level.
Second, acquire new classes.
Middle Earth Month.
November 29th.
On a snow-white dirt road, the plants on both sides were already bare, their branches and leaves shaking in the cold wind.
It had snowed heavily last night, and the snowflakes gradually stopped falling until dawn.
Crunch—
The sound of footsteps on the snow came from the distance of the path, and three figures gradually appeared.
A robust Evil Spirit Dog, more than a person tall, walked in the forefront, followed by two figures.
One was a young man wearing a white, holy Priest Robe, and the other was a Emerald Witch with emerald green hair, wrapped in a Magic short robe and wearing brown boots.
The three figures proceeded along the path, the air was somewhat cold, and the occasional cold wind made the already sparsely populated open area even colder.
These three figures were none other than Tang Zheng, the Evil Spirit Dog, and the Emerald Witch, who had transformed into a young girl, while the White Mist Witch was hidden in the Emerald Witch's body.
The largest Evil Spirit Dog walked in the forefront, making a path in the snow for Tang Zheng to walk on more easily.
Of course!
This level of snow had little effect on Tang Zheng.
"Master, why are we walking like this?" The Emerald Witch, lagging behind, looked at Tang Zheng, who was walking steadily on the snow, and asked respectfully in a delicate voice.
She remembered that the master clearly possessed Flight Magic, so why would he choose to walk?
"Do you know why I asked you to specifically learn about the human way of life?" Tang Zheng said faintly without turning his head.
"So we can more easily disguise ourselves as humans."
The Emerald Witch said uncertainly.
"Yes and no."
"Actually, I want you to know how ordinary humans think."
Tang Zheng's voice was still calm: "Only in this way can you avoid some unnecessary troubles."
The Emerald Witch nodded as if she understood.
"Master, where are we going?" A somewhat hoarse voice came from the Emerald Witch's chest, it was the voice of the White Mist Witch.
"A small human village."
Gradually proceeding along the path.
A small village began to appear in Tang Zheng's line of sight.
Karn Village!
"This is the third time I've been here." Tang Zheng saw the village in the distance and chuckled to himself.
It really felt strange.
Each time Tang Zheng came to Karn Village, his situation and strength were different.
Compared to the first time, both his strength and inner thoughts had undergone earth-shattering changes.
"You've changed the most in appearance." Tang Zheng stepped forward and patted the Evil Spirit Dog, smiling.
The Evil Spirit Dog was only the size of a puppy back then, but now it was more than a person tall.
"Woof~"
The Evil Spirit Dog lowered its head, wagged its tail, and rubbed against Tang Zheng's shoulder.
The Evil Spirit Dog's somewhat frightening size had already attracted the attention of the two villagers guarding the fence at the entrance. If it weren't for Tang Zheng and the Emerald Witch.
The two villagers initially thought it was a Demon Creature that had run out of the forest.
"Long time no see, you two. How is the Village Chief doing?"
Tang Zheng greeted the two villagers from afar, asking with a smile on his face.
The sound of his greeting.
Caused the two villagers' gazes to shift away from the Evil Spirit Dog and land on Tang Zheng.
His conspicuous black hair made them both pause, quickly recognizing Tang Zheng.
Although several months had passed, for Karn Village, located on the border and rarely visited by outsiders, Tang Zheng, the Adventurer.
Was still a topic of discussion for many.
