Simon's face was flushed and his mood was high. He felt that today was the highlight of his life in the past few decades.

The young master, who had the support of the Capet family, ran an independent shop and became a respectable figure in the market.

Starting today!

I am no longer a hired hand running around for others, but a successful person with my own career.

The businessmen who used to be high and mighty came to visit one by one at this time, with a cordial attitude and words of congratulation.

Although they all came for the Capet family's sake, it didn't matter to Simon.

One day, I will truly succeed!

"Simon!"

Just as he was greeting the customers, Fela, a big man who was selling medicine in the shop, came running in.

After pulling Simon aside, the big man Fela said hurriedly: "Something is wrong!"

"Too few people come to buy potions. Even if someone does, they only buy one or two bottles for Master Allen's sake. This is completely different from what we expected."

How could this happen? Simon was stunned.

The guests invited today all have a certain purchasing power.

What's more, in order to celebrate the opening, the medicines sold were almost sold at the purchase price, and there was no profit at all.

Even if it's just for the sake of cheapness, there should be huge sales.

“Wow…”

"Hurry up! If you go too late, they will be gone!"

"There are new products at Archie Wizard's pharmacy across the street, but you can only buy them if you've bought their potions. But it's still worth it."

“Quick! Quick!”

The low whispers from the crowd nearby made Simon's face gradually gloomy, and the big man Fela's expression changed even more.

"go!"

Simon summoned a hired worker and ordered, "Go to the other side and see what's going on."

"yes."

The hired hands go quickly and come back quickly.

"The drugstore across the street is selling a kind of animal pill that can assist the knights in their training. The price is very cheap, but if you want to buy the animal pill, you must first buy their potion. Many people go there just for the animal pill."

"I heard that they are also holding a promotion. The price of animal pills will double in three days."

“Everyone is rushing to buy it.”

The hired worker licked the corner of his mouth and suppressed the restlessness in his eyes. If he was not afraid of offending the two people in front of him, he would have bought one himself.

"clatter……"

Simon's body swayed, he staggered back several steps, his face turned pale.

The big man Fela had a gloomy face. He then rushed to the opposite side, pushed through the crowd and squeezed into Archie's pharmacy.

Not long after, he returned with a few bottles of potion and some animal pills, and his expression became increasingly uglier.

Most medicines have a shelf life.

So there is not much point in hoarding potions.

This also means that there is a quota for the amount of medicines sold at the market every day. If one store sells more, other stores will definitely sell less.

Just like now.

Everyone was rushing to buy animal pills and potions at Wizard Archie's pharmacy, so it was difficult for Alan's shop to increase sales.

Not far away.

Several people from the Capet family have been paying close attention to the situation here.

"Alan, my brother."

Sam sneered:

"See? Running a business is not as simple as you think. Cutting losses in time may be the best option."

"I believe today's lesson will leave a deep impression on you, especially that you should not easily believe what others say."

Alan's face turned livid.

"Alan." Aunt Millie looked at him sympathetically.

"You don't have to rush to pay back my money, but it seems that you have borrowed a lot of magic stones from the third brother, and you also promised a high interest rate. He is not as easy to talk to as I am."

"……well!"

"You decide."

Alan's body shook and his face turned pale instantly.

…………

"Beast Pill!"

In the room.

Wizard Archie picked up a high-quality animal pill, placed it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and after a long time he slowly turned.

"It's a very interesting technique. It's ancient, rigorous, yet not complicated. It's somewhat similar to the pharmacy of ancient times."

He looked at Carl: "Did you bring this back from the Eastern Kingdom continent?"

"Yes." Carl nodded. Of course, he couldn't say that this was a technology from another world: "I only learned this method of refining medicine out of curiosity at the time. I didn't expect it to be useful here."

"Why?" Charlie looked curious: "You don't need it?"

"Uh..." Carl opened his mouth and replied:

"In the Eastern Kingdom, there are very few magical creatures, and legendary creatures are almost unheard of."

“So it’s a useless technology over there.”

“Bang!”

Charlie tapped his forehead:

"I almost forgot."

"Although the wizard path in the Eastern Kingdom has declined, there was once a brilliant civilization there." Wizard Aqi put down the beast pill and said:

"Even our Six Ring Tower came from the Eastern Kingdom Continent, so it's not surprising that we have some mysterious inheritances."

"good."

He nodded: "Just relying on this kind of animal pills, we can keep the medicine shop running. Karl, you did a good job this time."

We also have potions to assist the knights in their training, but they are not cheap.

As long as there is a steady supply of flesh and blood of legendary creatures, the cost of high-quality beast pills will be much lower than that of potions.

Pharmacies can also open up the market with animal pills.

However, in order to seize the market, we cannot sell it too expensively, so the current profit margin is very low.

The refining of beast balls is actually not complicated. There are not even wizards in the other world, so they can be made purely by hand.

The raw materials are even more transparent, and even if Carl masters the key steps, it can be easily imitated by others.

This time may be one month or two months, but it will not be too long.

When the time comes.

The price of animal pills is even more difficult to increase.

Therefore, beast balls will eventually become an affordable item and gradually spread in the market.

But before that, relying on this product, the pharmacy is enough to gain a firm foothold in the market.

"The beast pellets you brought out are good stuff, but the operation of a store cannot rely on just one product." Wizard Archie said, "What are you going to do next?"

"With the beast pills attracting customers, we sell a lot more potions every month than before." Carl replied, "I plan to sign long-term contracts with several alchemists on the condition of purchasing potions at a fixed quota and fixed quantity."

"Besides, our store needs so many medicines every month, so it's normal for the purchase price to be cheaper than others."

"Agreeing on the quantity of medicines to be delivered, the price, and the compensation for breach of the agreement can also prevent what happened these days from happening again."

"As long as we bind the pharmacist to the drugstore before anyone can copy the beast pill, we can keep the store running."

On business operations.

Not to mention the prosperous business environment in the previous life, the Eastern Kingdom continent already had various business contracts.

The magic forest still maintains its ancient business rules.

A chaotic, disorderly and barbaric living environment is unlikely to foster a developed business.

Carl's suggestion was very novel to both of them, and Charlie clapped his thigh excitedly.

“Unexpected!”

"Junior Brother Karl is actually a genius in business. It would be great if you could come here earlier."

"rest assured!"

He patted his chest and said:

"I'll help you contact the pharmacist. I'll stay in the store for the next six months and take care of business matters."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Karl said with a smile, "With Senior Brother's help, things will be much easier."

He holds the ultimate weapon of making beast balls in his hand, so Simon's so-called scheming and planning will only become ridiculous.

No means can stop the great trend.

The general trend in business is high-quality products at low prices.

As for the shortage of potions in the pharmacy, it is even easier to solve. Whether it is support from the tower or borrowing from Sam, there is no need to worry in the short term.

As long as these three days pass, the reputation of the animal pills will spread in the market, and the business of the pharmacy will naturally be stabilized.

“That’s right!”

Kyle asked, "How about Simon?"

Hearing this, wizard Archie and Charlie's faces both darkened, and a gloomy feeling came over them.

"Thirty years!"

Wizard Archie shook his head slightly, and said with emotion: "The reason why I didn't accept him as my disciple is because Simon's character has great flaws."

"He thought he was secretly buying potions at a low price and reselling them, making a personal profit when purchasing potions. I really don't know?"

"well!"

"The Capet family is not as good-tempered as me."

…………

A few days later.

Night! A dark shadow appeared outside the Leipzig market.

Simon carried the package on his back, looked around carefully, then tightened the staff in his hand and ran quietly into the distance.

“Damn it!”

"That bastard Fela put all the blame on me. It was clearly him who suggested opening a store opposite the wizard Archie's pharmacy!"

"And Alan!"

"What? The young master of the Capet family is just a fool. He opened a shop without knowing anything."

He muttered, hatred rising on his face:

"I have already paid for the loss of the store, why should I be held responsible? Since you are forcing me to do so, don't blame me for being rude!"

"I can go somewhere else after leaving the Leipzig market. Do you really think I will hang myself on a tree?"

“Karl…”

"Damn bastard!"

Simon muttered quietly, but his voice did not travel out, not even the sound of his feet landing on the ground.

Obviously, a very sophisticated "silencing" magic was used.

“Swish!”

His figure flashed, and he slid forward seven or eight meters as if pushed by the wind.

We could see that we could leave the market by crossing a narrow alley ahead.

"Simon!"

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded:

"My friend, where are you going alone at this late hour? Aren't you afraid of encountering any danger?"

At the entrance of the alley ahead, a figure slowly stepped out and blocked his way.

The man was tall and strong, with sparse hair on his head and a pair of eyes shining with pure golden light.

This is a sign of some kind of witchcraft in an aroused state.

"Fela!"

Seeing the person coming, Simon's face changed: "Why are you here?"

"Heh..." The big man Fela chuckled when he heard this:

"I need to ask you this, my friend. You haven't been paying attention to the store these days."

"besides!"

He pointed at the package on Simon's back: "What's in your package? It's not the magic stones used for turnover in the store, is it?"

"Nonsense!" Simon's eyes flickered. "I just came out for a walk because I was in a bad mood."

"Really?" Fela shook his head. "You should go back and tell Master Allen about this. If the master believes it, I have nothing to say."

“Pah!”

He clapped his hands softly: "Come out!"

As the voice fell, figures appeared from nearby, and an invisible murderous aura enveloped Simon.

"Um?"

Fela's eyes moved slightly:

"wrong!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and a streak of light emerged, penetrating Simon's body.

Witchcraft - Flying Arrow! Simon's expression was stiff, and his body shook slightly after being attacked, and then turned into a pool of water drops that scattered all over the ground.

"Water clone?"

Fela's eyes narrowed:

"Simon, my friend, do you really think you can escape?"

"Chase!"

"If you resist, just kill you!"

"yes!"

Under the cover of night, the hunting team from the Capet family responded in unison, and then disappeared silently into the darkness.

The hunting game officially begins.

The data panel was quietly suspended in the air.

Name: Carl

Constitution: 5.4 Mental Strength: 5.85 Essence: 0 Level: Legendary Knight, Senior Wizard Apprentice

Abyss blood fusion degree: 15%. A physical fitness of 5.4 is only ten times that of an ordinary person in terms of value, but the gap is far more than ten times.

With the blessing of fighting spirit and fighting skills, his body is comparable to a steel-forged machine.

Even a hundred ordinary men in armor are no match for a legendary knight.

As for the mental strength of 5.85, many formal wizards who have just advanced do not have such a deep foundation.

However, mental strength is one thing, and realm is another.

Official wizards can sense the astral plane, and their witchcraft is far more powerful than that of high-level wizard apprentices, not to mention that they also master a ring of witchcraft.

“Almost there!”

Carl waved his hand and dispersed the data panel:

"Even if the cultivation of spiritual power becomes very slow, it will not take two years to completely master the inner sea of ​​spirit."

"By then, the blood fusion degree should be able to reach 30%."

If you have enough mental strength, you can try to advance to a formal wizard, but Carl doesn't plan to do so.

Too dangerous! Failure to advance can lead to death.

Even with his mental strength, there was a high chance that he would not fail, but what if something went wrong? With the divine fragment's perfect control over his body, he didn't have to worry about death when he took the path of a bloodline wizard.

The chance of a breakthrough is also greater.

“No rush!”

“No hurry.”

"It's only a year or two. I'm still young and can wait."

He withdrew his thoughts, and the quill pen floated up on its own, recording various experimental data in a witchcraft manual.

Research on the wish-fulfillment mechanism of divine domain fragments.

1: Divination is a taboo!

Carl once tried to predict his future, but it was just a simple attempt and almost destroyed the fragment of the divine domain.

Divination may involve unknown existence.

The cost of divination depends on the existence involved, and the simpler the divination, the less cost it will consume.

for example:

Carl divined whether it was safe for him to travel to the north. It might be safe, but he might encounter a terrifying creature on the way.

The cost of divination will depend on the entity, and even if nothing happens, the cost will still be huge.

So from then on, he never conducted any experiments such as divination and precognition.

2: It can improve your cultivation.

Since it is a wish-fulfilling mechanism, it can certainly improve your cultivation, but it requires consuming fragments of the divine domain.

And it’s not worth it!

Carl tried to improve his mental strength and blood fusion.

Can be achieved.

But unlike using source matter to increase strength, using fragments of the divine domain will cause more than 90% of the power to be wasted in the transmission process.

Considering the current size of the fragments of the divine domain, even if all of them are sacrificed, his strength will not be able to increase too much.

If the fragment of the divine domain is a hundred kilometers or tens of thousands of miles in size, one can directly become a second-ring or even third-ring wizard.

And so on.

The size of the divine domain is almost equivalent to the strength of the "god". The stronger the god, the wider his divine domain will definitely be.

3. Believers will not always be devout.

In addition to Carl himself, there are now two people who have successfully called upon Taiwei Jade Emperor.

They are Quincy and Aya.

Quincy used this opportunity to break through and become a legendary knight.

However, he was killed by the red-eyed mermaid not long after. As a believer, everything he had was swallowed up by the fragments of the divine realm.

Aya, on the other hand, relied on the power of the "gods" to solve the water problem on her body, but she herself had no faith.

at first.

With the help of the fragments of the divine domain, Carl can observe Aya's thoughts and life at will and exert influence on her.

But if you ignore it, the connection between the two will become weaker and weaker over time.

Gradually, it becomes difficult to sense.

Now, even if Aya dies in an accident, her soul and memories do not belong to Taiwei Jade Emperor.

"No wonder people possessed by evil spirits often have nightmares and are affected. They are probably afraid of losing contact."

"Belief!"

Carl thought thoughtfully: "What gods need is long-term faith. Only such believers are meaningful. Ordinary believers are not very meaningful because we cannot be sure whether they will change their beliefs."

"besides……"

"It is better for a dying person to convert than a living person, because everything he has will belong to the gods after death, while a living person may change his faith. No wonder some churches are willing to persuade dying people to believe in gods. It is even better to persuade a dying person to believe in religion than to persuade ten young people to become believers."

“So that’s how it is!”

Four: You cannot create something out of nothing.

This point is very simple and clear.

You can make a wish like the 'Taiwei Jade Emperor', but you can't get something that doesn't exist in the first place, at least Carl can't do it.

But if there is something in the fragments of the divine realm, it can be sent out through the air.

5. Cannot create life.

six:……

“To put it simply, there is not much I can do as the Lord of the Divine Domain Fragment.” Carl thought for a moment, “If I want to do more, I must make more people believe in me and develop more believers.”

"Get essence from them, expand the divine domain, and then continue to perform 'miracles' to attract more believers."

“It ends up being a virtuous cycle.”

Touching his chin, Karl shook his head helplessly.

"no!"

"I am only the Lord of the God's Domain Fragment, not the Lord of the God's Domain. I just have functions similar to those of a god, but they are incomplete."

He raised his head and looked at Quincy's memory trapped in the dimensional cage.

Just one Quincy's memory had a significant impact on him. If there were eight or ten other people's memories...

I'm afraid the dimensional cage can't hold me.

…………

"Mr. Karl!"

As the store was about to close in the evening, the guard 'Jay' came over and whispered, "Mr. Charlie asked me to give you a gift. Please come with me when the store closes."

"oh!"

Karl stopped checking his accounts and looked up curiously:

"What gift?"

"Mr. Charlie has instructed us to keep it secret." Jay smiled.

"But I can assure you that you will like it when you see it."

"Yeah?"

Carl nodded:

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Not long after.

It was getting dark, and the shops were closed. Carl followed his guard 'Jay' out of the market.

"Mr. Karl."

'Jie' spoke in a low voice, "You come from the distant continent of Kalim, and you are a disciple of the Six Rings Tower. You have seen a lot of peaceful life, but the Magic Forest is different from where you are before. It is full of barbarism and killing."

"You need to get used to it slowly. Mr. Charlie's gift can help you adapt to the environment here."

Well……

In fact, I am not from the continent of Kalim, and the killings I have seen are probably even more severe than here.

But what exactly is the gift? Shaking his head, Karl did not explain to the other party and asked, "How far is it?"

"We'll be there soon." 'Jie' pointed forward: "Right over there!"

There were few houses in the direction he pointed and no passers-by at that time. It was the outskirts of the Leipzig market.

As the distance got closer, Carl's pace gradually slowed down.

His keen perception made him frown unconsciously:

"Are you sure that's it?"

"That's right." 'Jie' nodded heavily: "It's right here."

As he said this, he took a few steps forward and knocked on the door of a courtyard.

“Here it comes!”

A middle-aged man with a blue silk headband and a small mustache opened the gate and, upon seeing the two, gestured with his hand:

"Come in!"

Carl did not rush in, but took out his staff and waved it gently.

Detection! A faint halo emerged from the staff and rippled towards the courtyard, sweeping across the ground, houses, and people.

"This gentleman is really careful."

The man with the mustache smiled and said, "But don't worry. Although we are in the business of killing people, we will not attack our customers."

"please!"

Having said this, he bowed again to invite.

Carl put away his staff, nodded to the other party, and followed 'Jay' to a place similar to a main hall.

There were two people standing in the room.

A man and a woman. The man had a scar on his face from forehead to chin, and the woman had cold eyes.

Carl had seen this kind of people in Freeport. They were people from various major forces who were specifically responsible for killing, commonly known as killers.

His gaze paused for just a moment on the two of them before settling on the long wooden box placed diagonally in the middle of the room.

"hey-hey……"

The mustache guy walked in with a smile and said, "This time the target is a hot commodity. Even the Capet family has issued a kill order against him."

"Fortunately, we got there first and captured the head!"

Saying,

Signaled the man to open the wooden box.

“Crack!”

When the lid of the box was opened, a human head was revealed inside with a stick stuck under it.

The head belonged to someone I knew.

Simon!

It really cut off the head!

"ah!"

“Ahhh…”

Simon, who was left with only a head, was not dead yet. The stick that replaced his body parts was supporting his life in some special way.

As the lid of the box was opened, a sealed scream was heard.

"It's him."

Carl lowered his eyebrows and sighed helplessly: "It's done. Why does Senior Brother Charlie need me to come over and take a look?"

No wonder 'Jie' said that this gift could help him adapt to the chaos of the magic forest, so this is what he meant.

"We are doing business, so of course we have to ask the employer to confirm the goods." The man with the mustache smiled: "Sir, please inspect the goods!"

"..." Karl waved his hand: "After all, we are colleagues. There is no need to torture him like this. Just kill him."

"good!"

The man with a mustache nodded, and the man next to the wooden box took out a dagger and pointed it at Simon's head.

“Karl!”

Simon yelled, his eyes wide open: "I just left one step ahead of you, do you think you can be alright?"

"dream!"

"ah!"

He screamed loudly, but could only watch the dagger pierce his head.

at the same time.

Carl felt a pain in his heart and slowly lowered his head, only to see a bloody sword tip piercing through his body and exposed on his chest.

In addition to the blood, there was a hint of blue on the blade, obviously coated with some kind of poison.

What's going on? He turned around with a look of surprise.

"Feel sorry."

The mustache man holding the sharp blade still smiled:

"I accepted the mission to kill Simon, but I also accepted the mission from Simon to kill Mr. Carl."

"so……"

"I'm so sorry."

Karl opened his mouth, but finally shook his head speechlessly: "You local killers are too unruly."

Huh? Karl’s reaction made the mustache man stunned, and then his eyes widened, and the extreme fear made his body unable to move.

Tentacles appeared before my eyes.

Aura of fear!

Blood of the Abyss! Please add it to your collection! (End of this chapter)
