1802 How is he not dead yet?
When the next morning arrived, Tang Zhen directly headed to the entrance of the Academy.
When he arrived at his destination, there were already a few people waiting there. There was also a group of strange-looking birds next to them.
The passersby seemed to know the origin of this giant bird, so even if they passed by, they would not stop to observe it for too long.
Tang Zhen, on the other hand, was very interested. He walked to the entrance of the Academy and slowly sized it up.
These strange birds were very large. They looked like Gryphons, but they were obviously stronger. They should be the type that could travel long distances with heavy loads.
In the middle of the birds was a strange house, which was about 100 square meters.
A few men and women in light armor stood at the side and were discussing something in a low voice. Their gazes stopped on Tang Zhen for a few seconds after they saw him walking over.
However, when Tang Zhen walked over, they shifted their gazes away as though they did not see him.
Tang Zhen did not mind. He slowly walked to the front of the house and carefully sized it up.
The house was beautifully decorated, like a small palace. It was made of a kind of light but tough wood.
Around the house, there were also thick ropes hanging down to the ground, looking extremely tough.
This house was probably hanging from the big bird’s body and used as a passenger cabin. It was really a unique and creative idea.
Compared to sleeping in the open while riding on the big Bird, this was more comfortable and free.
In order to do this, the stability and coordination of the big Bird must be well controlled. A slight error would cause the house to sway left and right, like a small boat in the wind.
If that was the case, it would be better to ride the big Bird directly, which would save him from the pain of “seasickness.”
As for the furnishings inside the house, they had all been treated by a soft bag and were firmly fixed to the ground, so they could not be easily moved.
This was also to prevent hurting the passengers. Otherwise, they might lose their lives if they hit the important parts.
It had stopped at the entrance of the Academy early in the morning, and there were a few men and women dressed as adventurers next to it. This must be the means of transportation for this trip.
Tang Zhen had sat on a huge Dragon and a battleship before. In the past, he was used to teleporting. However, this was the first time he had taken such a transportation tool.
This kind of travel experience was quite interesting.
Just as Tang Zhen was sizing up the house, another group of people walked out from the Academy. They were also wearing light armors and capes, the standard adventurer attire.
When the men and women who were talking saw this, they immediately smiled and waved at them.
Leah, you’re here. Let’s set off immediately. I can’t wait!
A woman said loudly. From their expressions, it was obvious that they were very familiar with each other.
Tang Zhen turned his head and saw Leah in the crowd. Her black, golden-patterned light armor made her look tall and slender.
Apart from her, there were a few other females, but most of them were apprentices. Although their looks weren’t bad, they simply couldn’t compare to her.
There were also a few artisans, but they were all 1-star artisans. Although they looked no different from young people, they were much older than Leah.
Among this group of people, Leah’s artisan rank was the highest, and she seemed to be the leader.
After greeting the few men and women from before, Leah turned her head to look at Tang Zhen and gently nodded her head. There was a trace of a smile in her eyes.
Kang Zhen nodded in response, but they didn’t talk.
Leah, you’re here too. Thank God I’m not late!
An excited voice was heard. Then, the young man who delivered the fruits yesterday came over with two strong men.
The gazes of these two men were like blades, and they were completely incompatible with the aura of an artisan. It was as if they were two different kinds of people.
Tang Zhen swept his eyes over the young man. There was no change in his expression. It was as though yesterday’s incident had never happened.
Leah didn’t respond to him. Instead, she said to her companions, ” “Yesterday, there were four people who wanted to join our team. I’ve already collected 400000 gold coins from them as agreed. I’ll distribute it to everyone later.”
Everyone nodded in acknowledgment and was not too surprised.
In fact, this matter was very normal. Sharing resources to create benefits for themselves was something they had agreed on before.
If there was no harvest from the ruins, at least there would be an additional income. Artisans spent a lot of money, and they would never miss the opportunity to earn gold coins.
At the same time, their gazes swept over Tang Zhen and that young man. They knew that the four of them were the new team members who would be participating in this exploration.
Leah led the group over, pointed at the young man, and said, ” “Let me introduce you. This is Warter, and the two beside him are his guards.”
Everyone looked at white and his two subordinates and nodded. They had all heard of this infamous young master.
As soon as White’s identity was confirmed, everyone had already guessed his intention. He was obviously looking for an opportunity to get close to Leah.
Otherwise, with the style of this person, why would he choose to explore the ruins and bear the bumps and possible dangers of the journey?
Many of the men in the team looked disdainful and indignant. They all had their hearts set on Leah, and now that a spoiled second generation had suddenly jumped out to snatch her away, it would be strange if they were in a good mood.
White looked at Leah with a smile and put on a friendly posture. “Hello everyone, my father is the city Lord. If there’s anything I can help with in the future, please let me know!”
White had revealed his identity as soon as he opened his mouth. This was his greatest advantage, and he clearly had to make good use of it.
In fact, Leah didn’t want to make their relationship too tense because of his identity, or it would put his grandfather and father in a difficult position.
When they heard that white was the son of the city Lord, the apprentices ‘disdainful expressions immediately softened.
In this world, artisans were respected. If one wanted to take on important positions, the identity of an artisan played a huge role.
Although Warter was an ignorant and incompetent second generation, his father was an intermediate artisan in both name and reality. He also had a great reputation in the artisan circle.
They didn’t care about the city Lord’s status, but they couldn’t ignore the fact that the other party was an intermediate artisan.
White’s eyes flashed with pride when he saw the change in everyone’s expressions. It was because of his father that he was able to do things without any scruples.
Just because he was afraid that Tang Zhen would ruin his plan, he dared to directly hire an assassin to track and assassinate him. Moreover, he did not have any psychological burden.
Ignoring white, who was secretly pleased with himself, Leah pointed at Tang Zhen and said, this is Tang Zhen. He is also a student of our artisan Academy. It’s just that he has only joined the Academy for a short time. I’m guessing that no one has heard of his name.
Everyone followed Reya’s finger and looked at Tang Zhen. Other than a few people nodding in surprise, the rest of them had cold expressions.
The elimination rate of the artisan profession was very high. 99% of the artisan apprentices would never be able to advance to an official artisan.
Today, they were still in the same Academy. Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before the other party would leave the Academy dejectedly.
After a few decades, the gap between their statuses might be like a chasm, and they would never have the possibility of contact again.
if that was the case, why should he waste his energy on such useless communication? unless the other party was really worth investing in, such as leah and white.
on this point, everyone felt that tang zhen was not as good as white, so his cold expression was a matter of course.
On the other hand, white suddenly turned around and stared at Tang Zhen, who was standing by the house. The expression on his face was somewhat sinister.
“Dammit, what are those Five Guys doing? why isn’t this Tang Zhen dead yet?”
White cursed in his heart. He was angry that those five assassins didn’t fulfill their agreement and let Tang Zhen appear in front of him again.
However, on second thought, he sneered in his heart.
This time, he had two guards with him, both of whom were experts whose strength had exceeded the Lord-level.
He would have plenty of opportunities to get rid of this Tang Zhen fellow after entering the remains.
