But as tentacles stretched out from Carl's body, the light around him suddenly dimmed.

seem,

The light is being devoured.

The tentacles are pitch black and deep, covered with circular serrations, and have an aura of horror and fear.

gloomy!

die!

Weird!

The mustache man's eyes twitched, his expression was distorted, and his body struggled to move, but it was too late.

“Swish!”

The tentacles, with bared fangs and claws, dancing in the air, suddenly swooped down and directly wrapped up the mustache.

When the tentacles unfolded again, all that was left was a pile of corroded and tattered clothes.

Everything happened so fast that by the time others reacted, it was already over.

"superior!"

The remaining man and woman in the room joined forces, a hint of fear flashed in their eyes, but it was suppressed in an instant.

Great Knight! They were both great knights.

Whether it is the path of a wizard or a knight, it seems that the Magic Forest is far superior to the continent of the Eastern Kingdom.

"Mr. Karl, be careful!"

'Jie' screamed loudly and drew his sword to face the two men.

"when……"

There was a collision sound.

The roaring fighting spirit directly tore the entire house apart. The man stopped 'Jie', and the female knight continued to pounce on Carl.

"die!"

The long sword was wrapped in fighting spirit, and the light flickering on the sword was obviously attached with some kind of witchcraft that could break the devil.

At close range, the Great Knight is not afraid of the Wizard Apprentice.

"Oh……"

Facing the attacking female killer, Carl just smiled faintly, then suddenly lunged forward.

The tentacles with bared fangs and claws rushed towards him.

The female killer's eyes narrowed as she saw with her own eyes what happened to her boss after he was wrapped by tentacles.

He then quickly swung the sword in his hand and slashed at the tentacles.

However, the feeling of the sword passing by was empty.

Blurred!

The tentacles suddenly became ethereal, swept past the long sword, forced in front of the female killer, and then condensed and wrapped inside.

Countless suction-like teeth bit down, and the female killer only had time to let out a scream before she was completely swallowed up.

“Clatter…”

When the tentacles spread out, a pile of bones fell to the ground.

The remaining man was fighting with 'Jie' and his face changed drastically when he saw this and he turned around and tried to escape.

Carl held the staff and pointed forward slightly.

Secondary mage force field!

Manipulate gravity!

The mental power close to six points turned into a powerful force field, falling silently on the man.

'Jie' took the opportunity to step forward, swords flashed and collided, the two men's figures crossed, and the man was stabbed and fell to the ground.

"Mr. Karl."

Although he had defeated his opponent, 'Jay' still looked unhappy. He hurried to Carl's side and asked with concern: "Are you injured?"

It can be said that today's incident was all caused by him. If anything happened to Carl, he would definitely be severely punished by the Six-Ring Tower.

"It's okay." Carl shook his head gently and smiled:

"Brother Charlie's gift really gave me a big surprise."

Well……

Hearing this, Jie looked embarrassed, and he didn't know where to put his nervous hands. He could only lower his head and say:

"It's my incompetence. I didn't expect this group of killers to be so unruly and dare to attack their employer."

"fortunately!"

"Fortunately, nothing happened to you, Mr. Karl. Otherwise, it would be useless even if I sacrificed my life for it."

"Forget it!" Carl waved his hand: "Don't tell Brother Charlie about what happened today. If he knew, he would probably blame himself."

"This..." Jie hesitated for a moment and nodded:

"OK."

The fewer people know about it, the less likely he is to be punished, or even not punished at all, so of course he would be willing to do that.

Seeing Carl searching the corpse skillfully, his expression became very strange.

This wizard's apprentice...

He was very skilled in touching the corpse.

In addition, the method he used to kill was fierce, cruel and neat, and he didn't look like a novice at all.

Could it be that the Kalim Continent is not very safe? Otherwise, how could they train such a method? "Mr. Karl is worthy of being a wizard apprentice from the Six Rings Tower. These people are all top killers."

The 'Jie' voice tape sighed: "In front of you, they don't even have a chance to fight back."

This is not a compliment, but a fact.

Among the three, the one with the mustache is the strongest. With his close range assassination, even the legendary knight would find it difficult to dodge.

Carl is the legendary knight.

As a result, he was pierced through the heart by a sword without even noticing it, and even his Void Amulet didn't have time to react. If it weren't for his special physique, he would have definitely been killed.

Detecting evil is of no use to the three of them, as their murderous intent is suppressed until it explodes.

What can I do?

It was Carl they met.

"That's all for today."

Karl put away a gem ring, stood up and said, "The noise just now was quite loud. I'm afraid it has alarmed the market patrol team. Let's go back first."

"remember!"

He warned again: "Don't tell Brother Charlie!"

Carl didn't intend to let others know that he practiced blood witchcraft and had the blood of the abyss for the time being.

"Yes." 'Jie' nodded solemnly: "Mr. Carl, please rest assured that I will never tell anyone else about your affairs."

…………

the next day.

Charlie rushed over from the wizard tower, stopped the busy Carl and came to the backyard guest room and asked.

"Did you see Simon?"

“…I saw it.”

"well!"

Charlie sighed:

"After 30 years of living together, it's impossible to say that there's no affection. But he couldn't help but seek his own death. I heard that he stole the magic stone of the Capet family and planned to escape. If he had stayed and worked hard, he wouldn't have ended up like this."

"Brother Karl!"

"The environment of the Magic Forest is different from where you came from. Here..., death is common. Even those of us in the Six Ring Tower cannot guarantee safety, so you must be careful and cautious when doing things."

Carl nodded seriously.

He had heard that the Enchanted Forest was very dangerous, and he saw it for himself yesterday.

As long as they are paid, they dare to kill even the disciples of the Six-Ring Tower, which shows how unscrupulous the locals are.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Waving his hand, Charlie took out two things from his arms and handed them over:

"In view of your contribution to the pharmacy, the instructor discussed with several official wizards and decided that this is your reward."

Carl's eyes lit up.

He had known for a long time that he would receive rewards from the tower, and he was looking forward to it, otherwise he would not have been so willing to share his beast pill refining technology.

After waiting for so long, it's finally here! First, there are three magic crystals, thumb-sized diamond-shaped lenses, shining with charming luster.

This thing can be compared to an advanced version of magic stone. One magic crystal can be exchanged for one hundred magic stones.

also.

The operation of the wizard tower and the arrangement of high-level wizard traps both require magic crystals to provide energy.

Three magic crystals are equivalent to three hundred magic stones. Although it is a lot, it is not much either.

At least in the eyes of Carl, who is used to seeing "big money", it is not very attractive.

In addition to the magic crystal, there is also a witchcraft book with many complex patterns engraved on the cover.

Source Ocean Meditation

This is what Carl really values.

"Originally, those of you who came from the Kalim Continent needed several years of trials before you could truly become disciples of the Six Rings Tower and receive the corresponding inheritance."

Charlie said, "But my mentor and I are leaving soon, and you have done a great job for the store, so I will waive the process."

"This 'Source Sea Meditation Method' is a required method for water wizards of the Six Rings High Tower Natural School. It is much better than the meditation method you are practicing now, and it will be easier for you to advance to a formal wizard in the future."

“That’s right!”

"It cannot be sold to others. Even if you want to pass it on to your own disciples, you still need the approval of the tower."

"Understood." Karl's eyes lit up: "Thank you, brother."

The Source Sea Meditation Method was much better than the meditation method he practiced, it was almost not the same type of thing.

It is very difficult to become a formal wizard with the existing meditation method.

And this technique is still being practiced by the water wizards of the natural school in the six-ring tower until they become three-ring wizards.

The chance of breaking through to become a formal wizard is 20% higher than the original meditation method.

"No need to thank me, this is what you deserve."

Charlie shook his head and tapped his forehead:

"I almost forgot. Junior Sister Omar asked me to bring you a letter. She is now training with Wizard Bella, so it's not convenient for her to come to see you."

As he spoke, he handed over a letter.

"Junior Sister Omar has outstanding talent and has won the favor of Wizard Bella. She will definitely become a formal wizard in the future."

“How enviable!”

His wizard talent is not even as good as Carl's, and the reason he was able to enter the Six-Ring Tower was all thanks to the relationship with his elders.

Now I am sixty years old, and I haven't become a formal wizard yet. It is still unclear whether I can advance in the future. It is inevitable that I will envy him.

Karl didn’t respond to the other party’s sigh and asked casually:

"What errand did Senior Bella assign to Omar?"

"An errand?"

Charlie shook his head.

"Senior Bella asked her to help clean the Wizard Tower. In fact, there is no need for anyone there. She was asked to stay in the Wizard Tower to practice."

"The Wizard Tower is the node that connects the real world and the astral world. One day of training inside is equivalent to seven or ten days outside. Perhaps it won't be long before Omar is qualified to try to become a formal wizard."

As he said this, he sighed again.

Except for official wizards, few wizard apprentices are allowed to stay in the wizard tower for training, which shows how much Bella values ​​Omar.

"so……"

Carl's eyes were complicated:

People with talent often get better treatment, and this is the same for both him and Charlie.

They can only watch with envy.

Over the following period of time, the pharmacy's business gradually got back on track, and animal pills and medicines were no longer in short supply.

Taking advantage of his free time, Carl tried to switch to the "Source Sea Meditation Method". With the foundation already laid, the process of switching was very smooth.

Now that I have learned the Source Sea Meditation Method, I can also feel the power of this meditation method.

In the same amount of time, the progress of cultivation almost doubled compared to before, and even the utilization rate of potions was greatly improved.

This day.

“Karl!”

A familiar voice sounded from outside the door.

"Nancy! Hodgson!" Carl looked over with surprise on his face, and hurriedly stood up to greet her:

"quick!"

"Come in and sit down!"

"What a rare guest! How come you have time to come here?"

Nancy, who had some freckles on her face, and Hodgson, who was handsome, walked into the store side by side.

"I came to the market when I had nothing to do. I came in to take a look when I passed by here. Your business is really good!"

Looking at the customers coming in and out of the store, Hodgson sighed:

"Nancy's business is not good. She only has a few customers a day, and the magic stones she earns are barely enough to cover her expenses."

"It's different." Carl shook his head. The teapot and teacup not far away were placed on the table by the wizard's hand:

"They sell enchanted items over there, and they run a business that takes three years of shutting down and three years of profit after reopening."

"Potions need to be taken frequently, so naturally many people buy them. Who would buy a magic item for no reason?"

"That's not good either." Nancy shook her head. "I've been here for more than a month, and I've been scolded six or seven times. I want to cry to my instructor."

"Humph!" Hodgson snorted coldly:

"In my opinion, that old woman Mag is jealous of your talent and is deliberately looking for trouble to bully you."

"If that's the case, Nancy, you'd better go find Senior Marian." Carl said, "Although we are outsiders, we can't let others bully us for no reason."

"This..." Nancy struggled and whispered, "It's okay. I also did something wrong. I can't trouble the instructor for such a small matter."

"It makes me look incompetent."

Carl shook his head.

Having someone to complain to is not a sign of incompetence.

on the contrary.

Being bullied but not daring to speak out is true cowardice, and it will make you more likely to be bullied by others.

But this is the other party's choice, and as an outsider he has nothing to say.

“Karl!”

Hodgson sat up straight and said:

"I heard about what you did. You taught the natives here a lesson, and the tower gave you a reward."

"There must be a large amount of magic stones, right?"

"A little bit." Carl chuckled. "I didn't expect that the medicine-making technology I casually acquired in Black Swamp would be useful here."

"It's your luck. You can't avoid it." Hodgson laughed, then leaned forward and whispered, "Magic Stone, you haven't spent it yet, right?"

Hmm? Karl's eyes moved slightly.

It seemed that the other party was not just wandering around, and he immediately asked: "What? Are you short of magic stones?"

As he said this, he glanced at Nancy who was looking reserved beside him.

Nancy's mentor is Marianne, who herself comes from a wizard family and is a small wealthy woman.

Everyone who came from the Black Swamp knew that Hodgson had always been using Nancy's money, so he shouldn't be short of magic stones.

"That's right."

Hodgson sat up straight and said, "Because the Kalim Continent is unwilling to send people over, Gaota's business here is short of people to take care of it."

"Next year, another group of people will leave, and many businesses will not be able to continue, so Gaota plans to sell some of the businesses or lease them out and charge a certain rental fee."

Carl nodded slowly.

He was also aware that the tower was short of people.

"originally."

Hodgson glanced at the store and continued:

"This pharmacy was also going to be sold, but because of you, Karl, Gaota decided to stay and continue running it."

"But Nancy's store is not doing well. She has decided to sell it, and we plan to take over the management."

"Huh?" Karl raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "You guys?"

"Yes!" Hodgson nodded:

"Me and Nancy!"

"As far as I remember, you guys don't seem to have done business before, and you don't even have much experience working for others." Carl frowned. "Running a business is not easy, and Nancy is very talented and has a great chance of becoming a formal wizard. She shouldn't spend her time on this."

Nancy's eyes lit up and she nodded in agreement.

"Alas!" Hodgson waved his hand:

"What's so difficult about doing business? It's just buying low and selling high to make a profit. I know all this."

"That shop mainly sells magical items. There are wizard apprentices in the tower who make magical items. We can find other people. We don't have to worry about the supply channels. As for sales, we can just advertise."

"You've never really run a business before, but you managed to run a pharmacy. Why can't I do the same?"

"..." Carl opened his mouth. He was not without experience, and he had the skill of Beast Ball.

What do you have? Shaking his head speechlessly, he said slowly: "Are you planning to borrow the magic stone and take over the business of the tower?"

"right!"

Hodgson's eyes lit up and he nodded heavily:

"That store tower offers two trading methods: one is to buy out, and the other is to pay a lease fee."

"I definitely don't have the money to buy out tens of thousands of magic stones, but I can still find a way to pay for the annual lease of 2,000 magic stones."

"How much?" Carl's wrist trembled, and he looked surprised:

"Two thousand magic stones a year?"

"Yes!" Hodgson nodded:

"Don't think it's too much. This is already a preferential price given to us because we are family members."

"If someone else takes over, it will cost at least 2,400 magic stones a year, and they will also have to pay a two-year deposit."

"This is really..." Carl shook his head: "Two thousand magic stones are really too much. I'm afraid I can't help much."

"How could that be?" Hodgson looked surprised. "I asked around before coming here. You are a famous rich man in our Black Swamp. You have invested in real estate and have had people resell potions. Adding the reward from the tower this time, you should have more than a thousand magic stones, right?"

"I won't lend you more, just lend me 800 magic stones!"

Eight hundred magic stones!

Is that all right? Karl was speechless and said slowly:

"I'm so sorry, maybe some rumors may have misled you. In fact, I don't have any magic stones."

"As for this reward..."

"It's mainly the witchcraft inheritance given by the tower. I do have some magic stones, but not many. Moreover, my wizard talent is too low. I must rely on potions to practice in order to catch up with others, which also requires a lot of magic stones."

In short, don’t lend.

"Carl!" Hodgson looked unhappy:

"What are you talking about? I only asked you to borrow the magic stone because I consider you as a friend. I didn't ask anyone else to borrow it."

friend?

Thank you so much! Carl said expressionlessly:

"I really don't have any magic stones. I'm glad to meet you two today, but please don't mention borrowing money anymore."

"You..." Hodgson's face turned pale, and he slammed the table and stood up:

“Karl, you really don’t want to lend it?”

"It's not that I don't want to lend it, it's that I don't have it." Carl shrugg

"Nancy, Omar stayed in the wizard tower to practice. She wrote me a letter saying that she would have a chance to try to become a formal wizard in two or three years."

"You also have a second-level wizard talent, and you will be promoted to a senior wizard apprentice even earlier. You should focus on your cultivation."

"Yes." Nancy's eyes flickered. She glanced at Hodgson, who had an unpleasant expression, and stammered, "I...I've thought about it. Let's talk about it later."

Carl shook his head slightly.

It was difficult for him to understand why Nancy, a senior wizard apprentice with a formal wizard mentor and such great talent, would be afraid of Hodgson.

Hodgson is not very talented, he is just an intermediate wizard apprentice, and even the magic stone he uses was given to him by Nancy.

But the one who dominated the two was Hodgson, who was supposed to be at the bottom.

"snort!"

Hodgson snorted coldly: "Let's go!"

"Ah..." Nancy stood up hurriedly and nodded to Carl:

"Then we'll go first. Goodbye, Carl."

"goodbye!"

Carl waved his hand and watched the two leave. Looking at Nancy's timid look, he shook his head speechlessly again.

…………

On the street.

Nancy whispered, "Hodgson, you don't have to worry so much. The magic stones I have are enough for the two of us to live a decent life here."

"Um?"

Hodgson's expression changed: "You also think I won't succeed?"

"No." Nancy waved her hand hastily and said:

"I just think there's no need to rush. In a few years, I will try to reach the level of a formal wizard. If I succeed, it will be easy to borrow 2,000 magic stones. It won't be too late for you to do business then."

"What do you know?" Hodgson said coldly:

"Now they all look down on me, I just want to let those who look down on me see my success."

"Nancy!"

"I know you are doing this for my own good. If it is for my own good, how can you bear to see me being looked down upon?"

"Especially your mentor Marianne. She clearly knows that we are in love, but she doesn't allow us to get married. If my business is successful this time, she might agree to our marriage."

Nancy opened her mouth, but stopped herself from speaking.

In fact, Hodgson knew very well that if Nancy became an official wizard, it would be even more impossible for the two of them to be together.

Only now!

Only by relying on Nancy to make yourself successful, earn a lot of magic stones, and give yourself the opportunity to become a formal wizard, can you achieve a class leap.

By then...

Looking down at Nancy, who had freckles all over her face and looked plain, Hodgson felt a wave of disgust in his heart.

But he recovered his spirits in an instant, and said gently: "I know a way to borrow the magic stone. Nancy, my love, will you help me?"

"ah!"

Nancy looked bewildered, and when she looked up at Hodgson, who had a tender expression on his face, she felt that he was completely sweet.

He nodded repeatedly and said with a silly smile:

"I will definitely help you!"
