On the way back, Wizard Bern had a complicated expression on his face and sighed in a low voice: "The beast tide has not completely retreated yet, and there are still many dangers lurking near the market. Can't we take a break?"

"What?" Carl turned his head and asked, "Wizard Bern also believes that it was the Andrew family who did it?"

"...No." Wizard Bern smiled awkwardly: "The four major families have formed an alliance and sworn an oath that they cannot fight each other, otherwise they will be retaliated against."

“So it’s definitely not the Andrew Family.”

His words were somewhat insincere.

Carl smiled. The covenant between wizards did have a strong binding force, but the Andrew family would not be stupid enough to do it themselves.

The same can be done with the help of others.

"Let's not talk about these troubles." Karl waved his hand and said, "Bodore Restaurant reopened today. I heard that they have prepared many exquisite dishes and there are discounts. I invite you to try it."

"Oh!" Wizard Bern's eyes lit up. He was not very interested in other things, but he was very particular about food and drink: "Then I won't be polite."

"Haha..." Carl laughed, "We are neighbors, so we will inevitably bother each other in the future. Don't be so polite. It just so happens that I have just become a wizard, and there are many things I don't understand. I would like to ask Wizard Bourne for advice."

"No problem, no problem." Wizard Bern smiled. "It will be very beneficial for me to communicate with Wizard Carl, especially in terms of refining potions..."

"I am also interested in the talisman..."

"Wizard Karl, do you want to refine talismans? This is not easy and will delay your practice. I only started to try to refine talismans when my practice did not improve."

“You can never have too little knowledge.”

"That's true."

Talisman.

The technology of replicating witchcraft onto specific materials allows wizard apprentices to activate first-level witchcraft.

For wizards, talismans are optional.

One comes.

The power of the magic triggered by the talisman is usually not as strong as the magic cast by the wizard himself, so using it against the enemy is not worth the effort.

Secondly.

Too wasteful.

After all, even the cheapest talisman would cost twenty or thirty magic stones, which was equivalent to about a month's work.

There are also very few wizards who make talismans.

The reasons are nothing more than the following.

trouble!

To refine a talisman, the slowest process would take more than a month, and there is a possibility of failure, while the fastest process would take seven or eight days.

This is a complex and tedious process.

No money! The materials for the talismans are not cheap, and after all the hard work, the final profit is not much.

Working for others or going out to hunt magical creatures can earn more magic stones than this, which is not worth it for wizards.

Delaying practice!

Although refining talismans can increase the control over witchcraft, it is not beneficial for improving one's cultivation.

Instead, it will waste time and delay your practice.

Therefore, usually only wizards who see no future in life would make talismans to save the lives of their descendants or to sell them.

There are many wizards who can make talismans in the market, but not many of them can make money by making talismans.

"Talismans, potions, refining equipment, puppets..."

"These techniques are all good, and are worth a wizard's lifetime of study, but they cannot increase one's cultivation."

After drinking a few bottles of wine, Wizard Bern also let go of his restraint and said drunkenly: "You spend ten days or half a month to refine a talisman. Even if someone like me can earn some magic stones, it is a waste of time for practice. It is not cost-effective for a wizard with real potential."

“Karl…”

"You are still young, and you are a wizard in the Six Ring Tower. Your future achievements will definitely far exceed mine, so don't waste too much time on this, or you will ruin your future."

"Yes." Carl nodded, his eyes thoughtful:

"That's what Wizard Bourne said."

After eating and drinking, the two returned to the store drunkenly when it was already completely dark.

A few more days passed.

A message came from the tower.

The Beck family announced their withdrawal from the management team of the Leipzig fair.

As compensation, they received several storefronts and a mine that originally belonged to the Capet family.

Carl was not surprised to receive this news. The several people who were killed outside the market on the day of the ceremony were all backbones of the Baker family.

Their death was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the family.

Among the three major families, the Baker family has the weakest foundation, with only four official wizards, and it is not easy to convince people.

It would be wise to exit now.

I wonder what this action will make other families think? After putting away the message, Carl picked up a broken talisman on the table and looked at it carefully.

He had begged this thing from Wizard Bourne, but it was a defective product and could not be sold for much.

The witchcraft reproduced inside is the more famous first-level fire witchcraft - continuous fireballs.

What Carl was concerned about was not the talisman, but the talisman material that was full of cracks.

"Fire Jade!"

With a thoughtful look on his face, he flashed to the fragment of God's Realm, and then transferred to another world through the fragment of God's Realm.

"Aya."

Karl walked downstairs and thought that the magic carpet was not with him, so he said to the figure in the study: "Help me call a boat and go to Fire Island with me."

"yes."

Aya put down the book and nodded.

…………

The sea breeze blew across her face, lifting Aya's hair. She squinted her eyes and looked at the dark island in front of her.

Her immature face gradually matured with the passage of time.

The tender skin also becomes rough.

And reading seems to have slowly changed her temperament.

Fire Island! "Uncle."

"Last year, the volcanic eruption on Fire Island changed the topography here, and many places that once existed no longer exist."

Aya looked back:

"But there are people on the island, we can find a guide."

"Is there anyone?" Carl looked forward: "Who is on the island?"

"Because of the volcanic eruption, a lot of things were brought out from below, including flint that can ignite things." Aya explained:

"There are several caravans in Strom City that specialize in trading in flint. They also have basalt and volcanic ash for sale."

The rock that forms when the magma cools and solidifies after a volcanic eruption is called basalt.

The surface of the island is covered with thick volcanic ash.

Volcanic ash is rich in nutrients and is one of the few resources that can be used to grow food in the barren city of Strom.

"Yeah?"

Carl nodded slowly:

"The volcanic eruption destroyed everything, but it also brought new life. Nature is truly miraculous..."

"There's no need for a guide, let's just go straight up!"

The two did not choose to land on the island in a flat area, but got off the boat near the volcano.

Aya is now a knight, and she is very agile and can walk on steep mountains as if they were flat ground.

The two men jumped onto the island, walking and stopping from time to time. Carl picked up some things from the ground and looked at them carefully from time to time.

There are plant communities on the island that have adapted to the harsh environment and are struggling to survive among the rocks and soil.

Some dark red stones are scattered among them.

"Is this the Flint?"

Carl picked one up and squinted at it.

"yes."

Aya nodded:

"There are good and bad flints. The one in your hand is a good quality one. It can easily produce sparks."

“Hmm…”

"The arrows made from it can even ignite flames when hitting the target, causing secondary damage."

"Flint!" Carl nodded. "The arrangement of elements inside is very interesting. Some of them are similar to... Nature's creations are indeed magical."

Putting away the flint, the two continued on their way.

Hmm? When approaching a pile of rubble, Carl paused and waved his hand.

Hand of a lesser wizard!

The vast mental power turned into an invisible big hand, like a mountain-pushing palm, and the gravel was blown away.

A gray-red stone is also revealed underneath.

"Huh?"

Aya looked surprised:

"A flint this big?"

"No!"

Coming closer, she stroked the surface of the stone and shook her head gently.

"Not Flint."

"It's definitely not flint, it should be called fire jade." Carl squatted down and stroked the stone with complicated eyes:

"pity……"

“Poor quality!”

Fire jade is the most common material for refining fire amulets, and it often appears near volcanoes, especially after a volcanic eruption.

The reason why Carl asked Wizard Bern about the method of refining the amulet was because he thought of the resources here.

He is the only wizard in this other world, and he would be doing himself a disservice if he didn't explore the resources here.

The piece of fire jade in front of him was the size of a washbasin, with a rough surface full of pits and cracks.

This kind of fire jade cannot be used to refine talismans.

If the talisman is to be used to carve a spell model, the inside must be smooth and without any blocked areas.

Although the quality is not good, it proves that there is fire jade here, which is also good news.

"Walk!"

Carl retracted his gaze:

"Keep looking forward and look for something similar."

"good."

Aya nodded and suggested: "How about we look for them separately?"

"Okay." Carl nodded.

In the evening.

The two got together.

Carl's hands were empty, but Aya filled the package on her back, which was very heavy.

“Clatter…”

When the package was opened, a pile of red-stained stones were scattered all over the ground.

Carl squatted down and rummaged through it, taking out three stones of different sizes and sweeping the others aside.

"These three pieces are barely enough."

He took out one of the pieces and handed it to Aya:

"Tell the people on the island that I will buy this fire...fire jade for one hundred Divine Grace coins."

"If the size is big and the quality is good enough, the price can be raised."

"Yes." Aya took the fire jade and nodded in response:

"But uncle, these things are all near the top of the mountain. It's probably difficult for ordinary people to encounter them."

"It doesn't matter." Carl waved his hand: "This matter is not urgent."

There is indeed no rush.

The quality of the fire jades found so far is very average, and cannot be used to refine first-level talismans, but it can be used to practice zero-ring witchcraft. For Carl now, even with the absolute sanity blessing of the fragments of the divine domain, the success rate of refining a first-level talisman is almost zero, and he still needs to accumulate experience.

Same with the Great Grace.

Fire Jade is a long-term business for him.

Such an active volcano would be enough for two big families to share equally in the Magic Forest, but now he is the only one using it.

Even if you just pile up the materials, you can create a master in refining talismans.

After returning to his residence, Carl went to his room and took out a few pieces of fire jade from the storage pendant.

His eyes paused on one of the fire jades, and a smile appeared on his face.

"The evil god is also a god. The pirates on the Flame Island were affected by the evil god's consciousness and mutated. The island itself was also polluted."

"It's hard to say whether this kind of pollution is good or bad, but it has changed the quality of some fire jades."

Pick up the fire jade.

"This fire jade should be one of the best fire jades. It can be exchanged for a lot of magic stones if you take it out."

"Another world!"

“There are so many treasures waiting to be discovered.”

"I was not strong enough before, but now I have become a wizard. In this different world where there are almost no second-level wizards, I don't have to be too cautious. It's time to explore the treasures hidden in the mysterious sea."

According to his careful exploration over the years, there should be no second-level creatures in the other world except for a few grand dukes.

The giant squid of the abyss possesses a third-level bloodline, but it only has the strength of a peak first-level.

seem,

* * * “The production of minerals is a complex and slow process, often taking millions or even hundreds of millions of years.”

"Time is the great creator!"

"But the existence of the Star Realm is equally magical. It can cause ordinary materials to undergo miraculous changes, and it can even accelerate the formation of minerals..."

Tuesday.

Wizard June's ore class.

As a wizard who came out of the Six-Ring Tower, her basic knowledge is much more solid than others.

From the generation and classification of minerals to the influence and changes of the astral world, as well as the practical applications of various minerals.

It can be explained clearly in just a few classes.

Her classes have always been the first choice of many wizard apprentices.

"Wizard June."

Carl in the audience raised his hand and asked, "Is there a certain pattern in the distribution of mineral veins?"

"yes."

Zhu En was a kind-looking old lady. She nodded and said with a smile, "Mineral vein exploration is a sub-branch of this profession. Is Wizard Karl interested in this aspect?"

"Because of the beast tide, several mountains in the Magic Forest collapsed. I heard that the mineral veins underneath were exposed." Carl explained:

"So I'm just asking out of curiosity."

"To understand the formation of mineral veins, we need to understand the environment of this area billions of years ago." Wizard Zhu En nodded: "If this place was a forest billions of years ago, then it is possible that various minerals appeared..."

"And how do we know what an area looked like billions of years ago?"

“This involves the knowledge of archaeology…”

Carl nodded and took notes.

Wizarding knowledge is as vast as the stars, and he is just a beginner, with too many unknowns and puzzles.

After class.

“Carl.”

Wizard June packed up the lesson plan, took out a piece of paper and handed it to him: "If you are interested in minerals, you can go find these books to read. These are the basic books of the tower. It only costs a few magic stones to copy one from Daniel."

"Thank you." Karl's eyes lit up and he took the note:

"Thank you so much."

"You're welcome." Wizard Zhu En chuckled, "I also hope that someone can follow the same wizard path as me, so that it will be convenient for us to communicate in the future."

"By the way, I heard that even if a vortex butterfly appeared in the periphery?"

"I've heard that, too." Carl nodded. "The Vortex Butterfly is a must for refining the Seeking Knowledge Potion, and the Seeking Knowledge Potion can help wizards break through their realms."

“The Andrew family has already sent people to catch him.”

"Andrew..." Wizard June frowned slightly.

"Why?" Carl asked, "Wizard June wants it too?"

"Of course I do." Wizard Zhu En nodded. "I have been stuck in the middle stage of wizardry for decades and have not been able to advance to the late stage. I don't have much time left to live."

"well!"

She sighed and walked out:

"The Whirlpool Butterfly, I hope it's not a hundred years old."

Ordinary vortex butterflies can be used to refine knowledge potions, while hundred-year-old vortex butterflies can be used to refine true knowledge potions.

The True Knowledge Potion can help wizards in the late stage to become second-ring wizards. I don't know how many people will go crazy by then.

Second Ring Wizard,

The Magic Forest can support a family that has lasted for a hundred years! Back at the pharmacy, Lance was still not there.

"Senior Carl."

Sassoon stopped what he was doing:

"Pharmacist Herm could not survive his illness and passed away at home yesterday. I have contacted a new pharmacy supplier."

"Yeah." Carl nodded: "Remember to express condolences to Hem on behalf of the pharmacy at the funeral. You have done a good job during this period..."

Most of the purchasing for the pharmacy, the refining of animal pills, and the reconciliation of sales were done by Sassoon.

I have to say.

He was very responsible, which saved Carl a lot of trouble as he didn't have to keep an eye on the store every day.

"Sassoon."

After thinking for a while, Karl took out a broken witchcraft crystal and placed it on the table: "As you can see, this is a broken witchcraft crystal, but broken doesn't mean it can't be used."

"This magic crystal contains a star magic called Explosive Crystal. If it were intact, it would be worth more than a thousand magic stones. Now that it's broken, I plan to sell it for a hundred magic stones."

"Do you have any ideas?"

Sassoon's eyes lit up.

A broken witchcraft crystal will affect the user's understanding of the knowledge inside, but there is also a small chance of inheriting it intact.

How much you can inherit depends entirely on your luck.

One hundred magic stones are not expensive, he can just buy them and resell them, or he can ask a wizard who is proficient in star magic to repair them.

In conclusion,

This is a great bargain.

"I want!"

Gritting his teeth, Sassoon nodded heavily: "But I don't have that many magic stones right now. Can Senior Karl give me a day to collect them?"

Not even a hundred magic stones? A hint of disappointment flashed across Carl's eyes.

However, he also knew that Sassoon's situation was normal for a wizard apprentice, and those like him who once possessed thousands of magic stones were outliers.

"All right!"

Putting away the witchcraft crystal, Carl nodded: "Meet me in the backyard at this time tomorrow."

"yes."

Sassoon looked excited.

…………

In the following period, everything seemed to be on track.

With the withdrawal of the Baker family, the remaining two families and the Andrew family seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, and no more incidents that could cause people to speculate occurred.

Although the beast tide has ended, there are still many magical lives and legendary creatures lingering outside the market, which need to be cleared one by one.

In this process, it is inevitable that some wizard apprentices will be killed or injured, but some people will turn a disaster into a blessing and advance to become wizards.

The other side.

Carl found some information about volcanic veins and asked Aya to pass it on to merchants in Rapids City, and increased the price of purchasing fire jade.

More people flocked to Fire Island to 'hunt for treasure', which led to the discovery of fire jades that met the requirements one after another.

And Carl also began to try to refine talismans.

A few months later.

"Bang!"

With a dull sound, the piece of fire jade in Carl's hand shattered on the spot and became waste.

"fail!"

"Record!"

He raised his eyebrows, and the quill pen and magic paper floating in the air moved closer on their own.

"It's best if the spell circuit is completed in one go. If not, only three of the nodes can be paused."

"The quality of the fire jade will affect the success rate..."

"Before refining, you must check whether there are any cracks inside the fire jade, and if there are any, check whether they are on the route of the engraved spell circuit."

"continue!"

Carl sat upright on a cushion, with various red jades and refined low-level talismans piled up beside him.

even,

There are also two first-level talismans! These two first-level talismans were made by chance, and so far they are not considered his ability.

"The first-level witchcraft Lianzhu Fireball is composed of three zero-level witchcrafts. I have mastered two of them, and have successfully refined hundreds of low-level fireball talismans. I also have the blessing of the absolute rationality of the God's Domain Fragment, but I still can't refine a first-level talisman..."

"Sure enough, I don't have any talent in this area!"

to be honest.

If other wizards saw him wasting materials like this, they would probably vomit blood on the spot.

So many fire jades are enough to cultivate a qualified first-level talisman master. After all, other people will be very cautious every time they refine them, and will not start until they are fully energized. It is impossible for them to refine one after another like him.

However, regardless of the loss, the proficiency in talisman refining is also greatly increasing, especially when only one type of talisman is being refined.

Half a month later.

Carl looked at the talisman in front of him and a smile appeared on his face.

Done!

The barely formed talisman was ruddy in color, with a seamless witchcraft circuit inside and a condensed aura of fire.

Chain Fireball Talisman!

and,

Still top quality!

However, this high-quality product is not due to Carl’s refining level, but the bonus of the ruby’s quality.

"It's roughly equivalent to the magic performed by a mid-stage wizard, much stronger than what I can perform myself."

"No... I didn't create a chain of fireballs in my spiritual sea."

"Um."

"At present, my success rate in refining continuous fireballs is already 20%. If I continue, the progress will be slow."

"I have ten first-level talismans in my hand, which is almost enough."

Finally, I looked at my data panel.

Name: Carl

Constitution: 5.9 Mental Strength: 6.6 Essence: 0.8 Level: Legendary Knight, First Ring Wizard

Abyss Bloodline Fusion Degree: 30% of the source material comes from the Rage Potion sold during this period, one pill is equivalent to four Great Divine Graces.

However, for Carl now, the ratio of source quality to value has reached 4:1, so it doesn’t matter whether to exchange it or not.

However, the degree of blood fusion has not increased, so the refining of blood pills has to be put on the agenda.

Arrive at Stromgarde Castle.

The Blasphemous Knight Yana was still wiping her greatsword.

Her hair changed again, becoming as white as silver, and her eyes became dark and deep.

"Guardian."

Seeing Carl coming down from upstairs, Yana looked up and said, "I sense a familiar aura approaching Strom City. Perhaps... the Holy Temple can't wait any longer."

One of the reasons she came to Rapids was to protect Carl, but bringing him back to the temple was a higher priority.

However, she questioned the orders of the temple and was not sure she could take Carl down by force, so she did not take action.

After repeated delays, the Temple obviously decided to do it itself.

"I don't plan to go to the cathedral." Carl shrugged.

"At least there is no plan for that now."

"Then..." Yana lowered her head: "I'm afraid the people who come this time will use force."

"Really?" Karl didn't care. He had nothing to fear if the second level didn't come out. He asked casually, "Who will you help?"

Yana was silent.

Then he knelt on one knee facing Carl, leaned on his sword with one hand and lowered his head and said:

"You are God's will and cannot be blasphemed."

"Yana." Carl sighed, "You are the Blasphemous Knight!"

"never mind!"

He waved his hand and said, "Aya has already reached the vicinity of Crocodile Island. Let's go there too. As for the Holy Temple... we'll talk about it when we get back."

As he spoke, he waved his long sleeves, and the magic carpet that Enid had refined flew out by itself and landed in front of the two of them.

When the two stood on it, the magic carpet trembled slightly, and then rushed straight into the sky at an astonishing speed.

Standing on the one-meter-square flying carpet, Yana was panicked at first, but then she realized that although the carpet was flying very fast, she was not affected at all, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Another act of God?

…………

More than a hundred miles away from Rapids City.

Several dark shadows were running wildly on the rugged mountain road, their speed comparable to that of galloping horses.

Even a great knight would be horrified when seeing this.

legend!

And there are several legendary knights! "Huh?"

One of them suddenly stopped.

As he stopped, the other figures paused instantly, as if they had pressed the pause button.

They rushed forward rapidly and then suddenly stopped. The change was so abrupt, but it did not affect their movements at all.

"strangeness?"

Under the cloak, a pair of eagle eyes looked into the distance: "Two auras of blasphemous knights?"

"Besides Yana, who else is in Rapids?"

"never mind!"

"The Blasphemous Knight is only the first batch of test products. Although it is good, its rationality means that it is difficult to fully control it. The second generation product is truly perfect."

As he said this, he looked at the people around him with a smile.
