Every month, Carl goes to the Wizard Tower.

Although the pharmacy uses the name of Wizard Archie, most of the shares belong to the Six Ring Tower.

Especially this year, Wizard Archie is about to leave and has transferred all his shares to the Tower.

Counting and checking profits every month are normal procedures.

"call……"

Carl rubbed his hands together and took the hot tea from Omar: "It's so cold today!"

The exhaled breath condensed into white mist, mixed with the steam rising from the hot tea, and did not dissipate for a long time.

"yes."

Omar nodded:

"The Gondor Kingdom has never had such a cold season. Even the knights' physiques can't stand it."

Then he asked, "Do you want to warm yourself up by the heater?"

She practiced alone in the wizard tower. Although she had long been accustomed to loneliness, she was more immersed in the knowledge of witchcraft.

But sometimes I still hope there is someone to talk and chat with.

So every time Karl came over, she would temporarily stop practicing and come out to sit together and chat.

After all, both of them are members of the 'Star Secret Society'.

"I'm not that delicate." Carl smiled and shook his head, looking at the square in front of the wizard tower: "It seems that there are more people coming today than usual?"

"The three wood factories need to settle accounts." Omar said, "Wizard Archie and his men are leaving soon. We need to make an accounting of the wood spirits and wood they took away."

“This is an achievement!”

Every ten years, the Six-Ring Tower would send a group of people here, because they were attracted by the resources of the Magic Forest.

After ten years of reclamation and logging, all the good things collected must be brought back. The more you bring, the greater your merit will be, and the better the reward from the tower will be.

"I heard that the wood factory has not stopped working yet?" Carl asked.

"No."

Omar pulled over a chair and sat down, crossing his legs and speaking: "Everyone is working overtime. As long as the beast tide hasn't arrived, they won't stop."

"In the past two days, workers have frozen to death in the wood factory one after another, but Wizard Archie still refused to let them rest."

As he spoke, he shook his head slightly.

She had nothing good to say about that.

If Wizard Archie wants to take away more wood, he must exploit the workers.

The other wizards did not intend to offend the group who were about to return to the continent of Kalim for the sake of a few workers.

Carl has no interface.

He has become accustomed to those in power, wealth, and strength desperately exploiting ordinary people.

It's just like this in Gangduo, the other world as well, and the magic forest has not changed either. It seems that this is the rule.

"That's right."

Omar looked over and said, "You should know that Hodgson has taken over the shop next door. A ceremony will be held in a few days."

"Then we can go together, so we can have company."

"Ceremony?" Carl shook his head: "I didn't receive an invitation."

"Hmm?" Omar was stunned, then smiled and said:

"Still haven't borrowed the money?"

"Yeah." Carl took a sip of hot tea:

"I don't have many magic stones."

"I don't believe you when you say that. You are the richest person in our group except Hodgson." Omar shook his head. "If you don't want to lend it to me, then don't lend it to me. Hodgson is betting a lot this time. I heard that the borrowed magic stones have high interest. If there is no sufficient income, he will be in trouble. But who knows the result?"

"For Nancy's sake, I hope his business prospers!"

This time she borrowed magic stones, but not much, unlike some people who mortgaged themselves to buy shares.

"call……"

A cold wind blew in from outside.

The two men stood up and saluted the figure walking into the wizard tower.

"Wizard Daniel!"

"Senior Daniel!"

"Yeah." Daniel, who was wearing a white wizard robe, nodded casually, with an unusual look of anxiety on his face:

"Is Wizard Bella here?"

"Yes." Omar said hurriedly, "The tutor is upstairs."

"good!"

Daniel quickly walked towards the stairs, as if he had thought of something, he paused and looked at the two of them:

"Don't run around in the near future, especially Carl. Pay more attention to what's happening in the market."

Hmm? Carl looked surprised:

"Senior Daniel, what happened?"

"Um."

Daniel nodded. "The beast tide on the front line is out of control. The defense line has already collapsed. I'm afraid it will hit the Leipzig market."

"ah!"

Carl and Omar were both shocked.

"How come?"

Carl looked puzzled:

"The beast tide has just begun. It is not the most dangerous time yet. There are two second-ring wizards from the Capet family stationed at the front line."

"How did it get out of control?"

"Cape Family..." Daniel frowned:

"Something went wrong."

He did not directly state the problems, but the information he revealed was still shocking.

If something went wrong with the Capet family, the Leipzig market would likely suffer a devastating blow.

After watching Daniel go upstairs, Omar turned and looked at Carl.

"If there is any problem in the market, just come over here." Omar said seriously, "My mentor once told me that as long as this wizard tower doesn't fall, we won't be afraid of even third-level creatures."

"Um."

Carl frowned:

"I know."

Only two days have passed.

There seemed to be an oppressive atmosphere permeating the air above the market, and the pedestrians on the street became more hurried than usual.

"Mr. Karl."

In the interval, Babala, whose belly was growing bigger and bigger, came close to me and whispered, "Charlie asked someone to come and tell me to be careful recently. Is there any problem on the front line?"

The others paused for a moment, then continued with their work, but their ears were already perked up.

"fine."

Karl lay on the soft chair, closed his eyes and dozed off, and said slowly:

"The Capet family has two second-ring wizards, and there is a high tower nearby to help. Even if some problems arise, there won't be any major chaos."

The collapse of the front line could not be concealed, especially as more and more people fled back from the front line.

information,

It has already started to circulate.

"right!"

Guard Jie nodded upon hearing this:

"As long as the Capet family is here, there will be no problems at the Leipzig market. I experienced the last beast tide, which was much stronger than this one. Many legendary creatures and mutant followers broke through the defense line, but in the end, nothing happened, right?"

His words made everyone's expressions relax a little and they nodded one after another.

That’s right!

Even if the front line collapses, it is possible that there is only a problem at a certain point in the defense line that was broken through by the beast tide, so it should be generally safe.

Besides,

Even if the front line collapses, the beast tide will first endanger the residential areas outside the market, so they will still be safe.

It really threatens the market...

It was a matter of life and death, and ordinary people and wizard apprentices like them could only accept their fate.

"Mr. Karl."

The saleswoman Tracy whispered, "After closing at night, can you let me stay and look after the store? I...I can pay for it."

Paying for one's own money to help watch the store seemed like a joke, but others were obviously interested.

They are at the market during the day so there is no need to worry about their safety, but they need to return to the residential area after work.

At this time, the residential areas are no longer safe, and the way home from get off work is even more terrifying.

Hmm...

Carl opened his eyes, looking thoughtful, and then called for the guard 'Jie'.

"Go buy some magical items that can solidify the ground, and some things that can conceal the aura."

“I’ll make a list!”

"When you are not busy, go dig a basement in the backyard. Make it deeper to ensure safety."

"The door is closed at night. If anyone doesn't want to go back during this time, they can stay inside temporarily."

Several people's eyes lit up.

Only Jay and Maude frowned, as they heard a dangerous omen in Carl's words.

Is the situation on the front line so bad?

A few more days passed.

There were more and more rumors outside, and the atmosphere in the market became more and more tense. Tracy, Barbara and others no longer went back home at night.

"Mr. Karl."

Jay walked in from outside, forgetting to shake off the snow on his clothes. He said in panic, "It's rumored everywhere that the second-ring wizard Jefferson of the Capet family has been poisoned by a special poison and is about to die!"

"Another second-ring wizard also met with an accident. There are even rumors that he is dead."

Carl, who was preparing the medicine, shook his wrist and looked at him in surprise.

He was not surprised by the news from Jie's mouth, but was surprised at how such news could be spread.

There was no news from the tower, but it had already spread in the market. Could it be that the news was false? No! Karl's eyes darkened.

If it was fake, the Capet family patrol team outside wouldn't be so nervous, so something must have gone wrong.

Poison? The key to the problem is not the poison, but why it was leaked? Was it that the Capet family was not careful about blocking the news, or that someone deliberately spread the news?

As his thoughts turned, he could only comfort them: "These are just rumors, they may not be true. Even if they are true, there are so many doctors and poison experts in the market, what poison can't be cured?"

"Just like the McDonald's next door..."

Halfway through his words, Karl suddenly frowned.

He did not forget that McDonald was an official wizard who had hidden his skills for some unknown reason.

McDonald, who has hidden his skills, is good at curing poisons! Is the second-ring wizard of the Capet family poisoned?

What a coincidence? "Mr. Karl."

'Jie' whispered, "McDonald was invited away by the Capet family. I guess he is most likely to treat a second-ring wizard."

He is also a little panicked now.

The reason why the last beast tide was fine was because there was a second-ring wizard. If something happened to the second-ring wizard...

I'm afraid the front line has really collapsed!

"Huh..." Carl took a deep breath, put down the medicine in his hand, and paced around the field with his hands behind his back.

His expression became increasingly gloomy, and finally he stopped.

"close the door!"

"The store's opening hours have been shortened by two hours in the past few days. Pay attention to the situation at the Capet family. After closing, you'd better hide underground in the backyard."

Karl said, “Everything will be discussed after the situation becomes clear.”

His words made everyone's face change drastically, and they didn't know what to do for a moment.

"ah!"

"Mr. Karl..."

“Will this have a significant impact on business?”

"Sir." Jay's voice was filled with worry: "Is there something wrong?"

"It's not clear yet." Carl shook his head: "But it's better to be safe than sorry. The loss of closing the store early is still bearable."

"go!"

He waved his hand and ordered, "Pack up your things and close the store early from today on. If you find something wrong, the store will be temporarily closed."

"yes!"

Several people responded quickly.

* * * The Capet family's estate.

A stone tower more than ten meters high stands in the center of the manor.

Wizard Tower! This is an object that connects the astral world and the real world. It can even be said to be one of the greatest existences in the wizarding world.

It is also the core of the Leipzig fair and the foundation for the Capet family to remain standing for hundreds of years.

In the wizard tower, the strength of a first-ring wizard can be enhanced to compete with a second-ring wizard.

Inside.

Mental power can be enhanced to an extremely terrifying degree, and witchcraft that used to be very difficult to perform can now be performed easily.

The five-story building means that the wizard tower is engraved with at least five powerful spells that can be activated at any time.

This wizard tower can attack continuously by consuming magic crystals.

Few people know that the Wizard Tower had another name in ancient times.

War Fortress!

McDonald looked up at the building in front of him, then lowered his eyes, expressionless.

"Sir, please go upstairs!"

Entering the wizard tower, several hidden spiritual waves swept over him, seeing through him from the outside to the inside.

"yes."

MacDonald remained expressionless and followed the people in front of him to the third floor.

There is a huge bed here, and a 'patient' in white clothes is lying on it to recuperate.

The patient was breathing weakly and dozing with his eyes closed. Even though he knew someone was coming, he had no intention of speaking.

There were other people in the room, quite a few of them, but McDonald's attention was involuntarily focused on the patient. It seemed that with him around, everything else became dim.

"Mike."

Alan from the Capet family came over quickly and said, "Aren't you good at poisoning and mental treatment? Come and see me...this patient."

"Yes." MacDonald bowed, "Master, don't worry."

"How can I not be anxious?" Alan stamped his feet, but it was not convenient for him to introduce who the patient on the bed was.

Just to introduce to others:

"This Mr. McDonald is the pharmacist of my pharmacy. He is best at helping people detoxify."

"Stop talking nonsense!" a middle-aged man said in a low voice:

"Hurry up and ask someone to see a doctor."

"yes!"

McDonald took a deep breath, walked slowly to the patient, and performed witchcraft to observe the patient's condition.

"Huh?"

He expressed doubt and his expression changed:

"This is Crazy Dove!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of several people in the room changed drastically, and the patient on the bed slowly opened his eyes.

"You know?"

"yes."

MacDonald nodded:

"A long time will destroy a person's sanity, so wizards with long lifespans often practice a kind of magic that maintains a constant consciousness to fight against the wear and tear of time on the spirit."

"And the Crazy Dove Poison will render this kind of witchcraft ineffective, causing people's emotional fluctuations to become more severe, until they become insane and out of control."

"This poison is useless to ordinary people. It is only useful to wizards above the second ring..."

He opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Even if no one present said it, he already knew who the patient was, Jefferson from the Capet family.

Second ring wizard!

As for the other one, he had seen the portrait.

"That's right." Jefferson nodded slowly. "A wizard who can't maintain his emotional stability is like a sorcery that can get out of control at any time. No one knows when he will explode."

"so……"

"Can you cure it?"

"This..." McDonald laughed dryly, "I'm just an ordinary wizard apprentice. I've only heard of this poison targeting second-ring wizards."

Seeing that several people in the field looked unhappy, he spoke hastily: "But I have a way to alleviate it!"

"oh!"

Jefferson's eyes moved slightly, and an invisible mental force fell on McDonald, as if trying to see through him.

But he was poisoned after all. When he cast a spell, his inner sea of ​​​​spirituality began to churn and his face turned pale.

I was careless! I didn't expect that the boy from the Monroe family would be so bold as to use himself as bait and lure myself into a trap.

Although he escaped, he was poisoned.

The Crazy Dove is not fatal for the time being, but it is very dangerous, especially now that the beast tide is approaching and you have to cast spells.

If things get out of control...

He must not take any risks!

"ease?"

Closing his eyes and calming his fluctuating emotions, Jefferson asked slowly, "How can I relieve it?"

"I have a medicine that can help stabilize emotions, but this medicine uses very rare materials." McDonald whispered:

“It’s expensive!”

"Mike!" Allen shouted, "How can our Capet family still be without your magic stone?"

"As long as it works, we can even help you become a formal wizard. Take out the medicine first."

"Yes, yes." McDonald nodded with a smile and took out a bottle of medicine from the medicine box he carried with him: "This bottle of medicine is also useful for stabilizing the mind. It can alleviate the toxicity of the mad dove. It will not get out of control for at least ten years."

As for a dozen years later, I believe that with the strength of the Capet family, they should have found a solution.

A man in the field stepped forward, took the potion from him, and did not rush to give it to Jefferson to take. Instead, he carefully cast a spell to check it.

“The ingredients are unclear, but they are harmless.”

"Um."

Jefferson nodded and waved his hand:

"Go down!"

"yes."

MacDonald bowed his head and said, "Remuneration..."

"Don't worry." Alan pulled him downstairs:

"I can't forget your reward. Remember not to tell anyone else about what happened today, or don't blame me for being rude to you."

"No, I will never tell anyone." MacDonald did not bother to ask for payment, and repeatedly wiped the sweat from his forehead:

"After I got back, I stayed in the store and didn't go out!"

"Um."

Alan nodded with satisfaction:

"Go ahead!"

After leaving the Capet family's estate and returning to the store to confirm that no one was following him, the timid expression on McDonald's face gradually disappeared, turning into a cold and murderous expression.

'That was a close call!'

"Fortunately, I took a potion before leaving, which kept my cultivation level at the level of a wizard apprentice. Otherwise, I would have been discovered."

"Fortunately, Jefferson was poisoned and couldn't concentrate on casting spells, otherwise I would still be dead."

Thinking of the consequences of being exposed, even though he was over a hundred years old, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.

"It seems that the things have been handed over." A voice without any emotion sounded from behind him.

"yes."

Hearing the voice, McDonald's expression changed again, and he looked respectful:

"As you instructed, I left the potion at the Capet family's estate. As long as Jefferson takes it..."

"Well done." The shadow moved, and a figure slowly appeared on the scene:

"Edmund's strength is still too weak after all. Fortunately, we made preparations in advance and left a backup plan here."
