In order to avoid being disturbed and concentrate on his research, Carl moved his residence from the center of Rapids City to the nearby mountains.

There are only three people living in the two-story building.

Besides him, there is Aya who has always been by his side, and Yana, the blasphemous knight from the temple.

"Aya!"

Susan supported the pale Connie, knocked on the gate, and asked anxiously, "Is Elder Karl here?"

"exist."

Aya was stunned and hurriedly took the two people into the room:

"Uncle is on the second floor. I'll go call him."

"What's wrong?" Carl came down from upstairs and put the white towel aside to dry his hands: "Connie, why do you look so bad today?"

"Mr. Karl." Susan said hurriedly, "Connie...he's not feeling well. Could you please help take a look?"

She didn't know how to explain the strange things that happened today, so she just ignored it and asked someone to see a doctor.

"Um."

Carl nodded, motioned for Connie to sit down, and reached out to open his eyelids and mouth for examination.

“Hmm…”

Touching his chin, he spoke slowly: "It seems that you have provoked something that you shouldn't have provoked."

?

Connie's heart skipped a beat, then he smiled bitterly and nodded helplessly: "Yes."

You deserve it!

Karl complained in his heart, who told you to find someone to keep talking in your ear, how can I not teach him a lesson? As for the means of teaching him a lesson.

As long as you kneel down and worship the gods with sincerity, it is equivalent to opening your heart and allowing a wizard to do something with you.

He controlled Wu Meng to self-destruct, and during the process of self-destruction, he cast a zero-ring witchcraft called Maggot Swarm.

The power of this witchcraft is not very great. It mainly accelerates the decay of food in the target's stomach and intestines and breeds maggots.

Usually used to disgust people.

It's obvious.

Connie was not only disgusted, but also frightened. His face turned pale and his body became limp.

"There's nothing serious wrong with my body, but remember not to touch things you shouldn't touch in the future."

He took out a piece of paper, wrote down the names of several herbs, and handed it to Aya:

"Boil it into medicine."

Then he said to Connie, "After drinking, take a rest for a while, and you should be almost well."

"Thank you." Susan breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him repeatedly:

"Thank you, Elder Carl."

"You're welcome." Carl waved his hand: "I heard that the merchant ship that went out to sea has returned?"

Seeing that he had a casual attitude and didn't take the illness seriously, Susan and Connie relaxed a little and nodded when they heard his words.

“I’m back.”

Susan spoke up: "There are also unconscious water monkeys on the boat."

Carl's eyes moved slightly.

The blood of the water monkey is an essential ingredient for the berserk potion, which means that the potion can be refined next.

certainly.

For Carl now, the rage potion is of no use, but he can use it to exchange for great divine grace.

This is the real effect of the medicine.

"good."

Nodding, Carl asked, "With the water monkey, we will have more great knights, and Rapid City will be safer. How is the exploration of the nearby sea area?"

The vast and endless sea is filled with endless treasures.

Fallen gods, ancient civilizations, and artifacts waiting for their masters, of course, he was very interested in them.

Especially after getting the sea map from Connie and Hawke, he was looking forward to the voyage.

But it certainly won’t work now.

Let’s not talk about the danger.

His own strength is not enough. Carl will consider exploring the Endless Sea only after he becomes a formal wizard and has enough strength.

"Not very good." Connie sat up straight and replied with energy:

"There are also mermaids in the sea. They will attack passing ships. Two merchant ships have already been killed."

"And Tortuga Island..."

"That place is also occupied by mermaids. Our people don't dare to get close to it."

Tortuga Island is an island of pirates, and it is said to have endless wealth and gifts from the gods.

There are many great divine graces.

pity!

All kinds of benefits are right in front of us, but now we can only look at them and can't even touch them.

"The will of the evil god!"

Carl shook his head slightly:

"The Grand Duke still hasn't replied. It's impossible for the people of Torrent City to resist the evil god's invasion by relying on themselves."

"Soon." Connie said, "The messenger said that the Grand Duke will send troops to attack Freeport soon."

Oh……

Carl chuckled.

immediately?

How long has it been since the fall of Freeport?

It has been several years! So far, this has only been a verbal promise, and I don’t know when it will become a reality.

"never mind."

Waving his hand, he stood up:

"Even if we lose the free port, we still have to live our lives. It is the ordinary people who cannot survive."

"After taking the medicine, you should have a good rest."

Then he looked at Susan and said, "Send the water monkey here when it arrives. I will notify someone to pick it up after it is refined into the violent potion."

"yes!"

"OK."

They both should be.

Not long after.

Connie, who had recovered his spirit, said goodbye to Susan and left, his steps were much lighter than when he came.

After the two left, Yana looked upstairs and asked with a puzzled look:

"The Guardian is missing again?"

"I have something to do." Aya took a book from the shelf in the study and opened it on the desk:

"Uncle does this all the time, you should be used to it."

"I know, I'm just curious." Yana touched the greatsword beside her and glanced at the book in her hand: "What are you reading today?"

"The life of the legendary knight Ken." Aya said as she read the book, "This book comes from the era before the gods fell. It contains many interesting stories."

"Really?" Yana raised her eyes and said in a complicated voice:

"People in that era must have lived a good life, right?"

In her impression, the scenes depicted in the temple when the gods were still present were all prosperous, luxurious, wealthy... and were associated with many words of praise.

"No." Aya gave an answer that was different from what she imagined:

"Although I have never lived through that era, from the stories written in the books, life was still difficult for ordinary people."

"god……"

"It didn't save them!"

* * * One month later.

Leipzig Market.

Tracy took out a 'beast pill' and carefully placed it on the table, looking at Carl with concern.

"This is a new product that has just appeared in the market. Currently, no store sells it. It is only circulated below the market and is also sold in some temporary stalls."

She whispered, “Mr. Karl, will it affect our business?”

A large part of her salary comes from sales commission. In the past two months, due to the sales of animal pills, her salary has more than doubled.

Naturally, they do not want substitutes to appear on the market too quickly, after all, this will affect their own performance.

Carl picked up the beast pill and looked at it carefully.

"It's a bit crude, about 70% of the original's effect, but it's just an ordinary beast pill. The production of high-quality beast pills is more complicated, and there shouldn't be any imitations in the short term."

“There will definitely be some impact.”

He put down the beast pill and smiled, "But the store's business has been getting better and better recently, so your compensation will definitely not be affected."

"How much did you pay for this beast pill? The store will reimburse you."

Tracy smiled awkwardly.

"Thanks to Mr. Carl's powerful methods and the formula of the beast pill, the store is what it is today."

"You don't know!"

Her eyes sparkled as she said, "Our store is now definitely among the top three in the entire market. Our sales have made countless people jealous. Even Wizard Archie, who was about to leave, would come back every few days to take a look around, as if he was reluctant to leave."

Thanks to the approaching "beast tide", business in the market is getting better and better, but the best business is still the Capet family's own business.

Even if the pharmacy has animal pills, they can’t compare to it.

not to mention.

Imitations have already appeared.

In response to Tracy's praise, Carl just smiled faintly and cast his eyes towards the crowd at the market.

Beast tide!

It means death!

According to past experience, each beast tide would cause a large number of casualties in various markets, at least 20% of the population, or even destroy the market.

Fortunately, with the background of the six-ring tower and the business they run at the market, their safety is relatively guaranteed.

“Karl!”

In the evening, Charlie came in with a complicated look in his eyes:

"I heard that you have been promoted to a senior wizard apprentice?"

"yes."

Carl smiled and nodded:

"Thanks to the magic stones given by the tower, and the good environment here, I just advanced two days ago."

"well!"

Charlie sighed:

"Your talent is not high, but you can become a high-level wizard apprentice at such a young age."

"I'm sure you'll become a formal wizard in the future. How enviable."

"I'm just lucky." Carl said, "I met an excellent mentor when I entered the wizarding world. The legacy left by the mentor ensured that I never lacked potions."

"Coming here, progress is faster!"

"It's been smooth sailing all the way. To be honest, I never thought that I would be able to become a senior wizard apprentice in this grade."

"This is a good thing. There's no need to be modest." Charlie patted his shoulder and said:

"Witch Marian is looking for you."

Hmm? What does she want from me?

…………

The last time I saw Wizard Marian was when I first came to the Magic Forest. Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The other party is still dignified and elegant.

The white wizard robe makes her skin look as crystal clear as jade, and her eyes contain a strong breath of life.

A formal wizard's body has been baptized by the energy of the astral realm. Even if he has not practiced any method to temper his body, his physical fitness is no worse than that of a great knight. If he is a bloodline wizard, his physical strength is even more terrifying.

“Karl!”

Looking at Karl, Marianne smiled:

"Well done. You became a senior wizard apprentice so quickly. I knew you could do it."

"Thank you for your praise, senior." Carl bowed: "Do you have something to ask me?"

"Yes." Marianne nodded and said:

"The Capet family found several Dream-Swallowing Silkworms in the Magic Forest. They are essential for making Silence Potion, and I happen to have a quota."

"You are now a senior wizard apprentice, and you have Grimm potion on you. I believe you can use it."

Silence Potion!

Carl's breath hitched.

This is a potion that can increase the chance of breaking through to become a formal wizard, and unlike the Green Potion, it is even rarer, and it can even be said to be out of stock.

Generally speaking.

Most high-level wizard apprentices who break through to become formal wizards will take Green Potion, but few can take Silence Potion.

Taking Green potion can increase the success rate by 10% to 20%. Adding Silence potion can increase it to 30% to 40%.

"I have changed to the 'Source Sea Meditation Method' and am now on the path of blood witchcraft, plus two potions..."

"The chance of a breakthrough is not 100%, but 99% should be no problem!"

"senior."

Carl Throat Roll:

"What will happen to Nancy if the Silencing Potion is given to me?"

Nancy is Marianne's real disciple. Not only is she not her disciple, she is not even familiar with her.

this……

Why? Tell the truth.

Carl had a good impression of Marianne, who was gentle, warm and caring towards him.

However, he did not forget what the wizard Steler said before he came here. The woman in front of him seemed normal on the surface, but in fact she was very crazy at heart.

A woman with a crazy heart suddenly showed kindness to him, and Carl couldn't help but feel a sense of alarm.

"Nancy?"

Mentioning her disciple, Marian's expression suddenly darkened, and her beautiful eyes became sharp:

"You are such a good-for-nothing. You have made yourself like this for a good-for-nothing man."

"If it weren't for..."

"snort!"

She snorted coldly: "I really should go wash my eyes!"

Hmm? Carl raised his eyebrows.

He did not hear any accusation against Nancy for being with Hodgson in Marianne's words, but rather dissatisfaction with the vision of his own disciple.

how?

Can you risk your life to throw yourself at an outstanding man?

Your attitude is weird too.

No wonder Strayer said there was something crazy in her.

"rest assured."

Marianne waved her sleeves and said:

"Nancy is my disciple after all. Her advancement to a formal wizard has been arranged in advance. You don't have to worry about it. As for Omar..., she has Bella as her mentor, so her affairs will naturally be taken care of by her mentor."

"how?"

She looked sideways: "You don't want to?"

"No!" Carl shook his head hurriedly:

"How could that be? I just didn't think of it again... Thank you for your kindness, senior."

"Don't thank me yet." Marian said, "We haven't got the Dream-Swallowing Silkworm yet. When the Capet family comes back, we will go hunt this creature together."

"Don't worry, there's no danger, just some trouble."

The dream-swallowing silkworm is a very special creature that usually parasitizes in the dreams of certain creatures.

That is to say,

No entity!

The chance of being discovered is low, and the possibility of being caught is even lower, which is why the silencing potion is so rare.

in addition.

The Dream-Swallowing Silkworm is an excellent material to assist nightmare wizards in their practice. Even if it is caught, it is rarely used to make silencing potions.

These circumstances lead to the scarcity and high cost of silencing potions.

The two did not wait long.

A group of four people from the Capet family rushed over.

The one walking in front was tall and burly, with a red nose and a pointed hat on his head. He smiled and greeted:

"Witch Marian!"

"Blaze!"

Marianne nodded, her eyes swept over the three people behind the other party, focusing mainly on two of them: "Are they the ones you want to take with you?"

"Yes." Blaise nodded and said:

"You have seen Milly. This is my grandson Meg, and she is also a senior wizard apprentice."

“Hmm…”

"Young man, your name is Carl, right?"

"Yes." Carl stepped forward: "Hello, Senior Blaise, Miss Millie, Mr. Meg, we meet again."

The pharmacy he was in charge of was doing a booming business, and the purchase of animal meat was the Capet family's business, so naturally he knew the best of the younger generation of the Capet family.

We can’t be considered friends, but at least we’re familiar with each other.

"Mr. Carl." Millie looked a little surprised: "I didn't expect it to be you, I thought..."

Halfway through her words, she realized something was wrong, and with a smile on her face, she stretched out her hand and shook it gently with Karl: “Nice to meet you!”

Meg nodded with a wooden face, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

They had some knowledge of the people who had come to the Six Ring Tower a few months ago, but they did not expect that the person would be Carl.

This wizard's talent is not high, and he has just become a senior wizard apprentice. It is still a long way to go before he can reach the official wizard realm. It is not his turn, right? Or is it that the resources of the Six Rings Tower are so abundant that others are unwilling to take the Silence Potion to advance?

Carl laughed dryly.

He was also puzzled, but he would not give up the opportunity to get the Silencing Potion.

The four members of the Capet family include the official wizard Blaise, two senior wizard apprentices, and a legendary knight-level guard.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go!"

Blaise came to the courtyard and stretched out his hand towards the sky.

The next moment.

Wind pressure came from the sky.

Carl squinted his eyes and looked up into the sky, his expression changing slightly.

I saw a black shadow falling from the sky. The closer it got, the bigger it became, and finally it turned into a giant ten meters tall.

The giant's body is made of rock, his eyes are like gems, and a pair of huge wings are spread out behind him.

Constructed creature - gargoyle!

It is not a gargoyle transformed by an apprentice of blood witchcraft, but a real constructed creature, artificial life.

Its huge body is like a small mountain, and a slight flap of its wings can stir up a gust of wind.

In front of it, even Carl, a legendary knight, couldn't help but breathe fast.

The gargoyle slowly crouched down, revealing a huge roofless carriage behind it, with several cushioned seats inside.

"Marian Wizard."

Blaise held out his hand and gestured, "Please!"

Marian nodded and gently waved the staff in her hand. An invisible force emerged, lifting her and Carl's bodies up slowly and landing on the back of the gargoyle.

First level of witchcraft - flying!

flight!

Although he had ridden on the magic carpet many times, the feeling of flying off the ground for the first time still felt new to Carl.

When you advance to a formal wizard, don't rush to learn other witchcraft, but you must learn this one first.

Others also landed in the carriage one after another.

Following Blaise's signal, the gargoyle lying on the ground slowly flapped its wings and rushed into the sky carrying several people.

The gargoyle's initial speed was not fast, but after it took off, it continued to accelerate and almost broke the sound barrier.

Under the influence of the witchcraft, the people standing on its back not only did not feel any discomfort, but even their clothes did not shake.

Carl looked down and saw that he was getting farther away from the market, and he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

But after looking at the people around him, he shook his head slightly.

With the wizard Marian and the Capet family around, we probably wouldn't encounter any danger even if we went deep into the magic forest.

As for the beast tide...

It has just begun and has not yet spread to the surrounding areas.
