Magic forest tower.
On Friday afternoon, Wizard Daniel has an open class, which mainly talks about the theoretical knowledge of building a wizard tower.
"The Wizard Tower is a groundbreaking product that is on par with the Meditation Method."
"Before the wizard tower was built, wizards could only play a supporting and decapitation role on the battlefield."
"And with the wizard tower, every wizard is equivalent to a war fortress and can play a decisive role on the battlefield."
Daniel was still wearing a pure white wizard robe, and his voice was unusually excited: "In the wizard tower, wizards can burst out with strength far beyond their normal state, and they are not afraid of the army's charge."
"Could they also communicate with the astral world and connect to the earth veins? It was during the War of the Gods that wizards really came to the fore."
"Of course, it's not easy to build a wizard tower. The most basic Eye of Insight requires tens of thousands of magic stones."
"Today we will introduce the Eye of Insight. Without it, the Wizard Tower would be blind. The Eye of Insight is also the second-level magic that is most accessible to all wizards and even wizard apprentices."
“…”
"Ding-ling-ling..."
The bell rang.
Daniel paused in his explanation, waved the staff in his hand lightly, and the lesson plan folded up on its own.
"Those who want to go to the temporary market should gather downstairs, and those who don't want to go can go back."
"yes!"
"Goodbye Wizard Daniel!"
“…”
The apprentices and wizards who were attending the class stood up, bowed, said goodbye and left, while some gathered together to discuss something.
“Carl.”
Omar didn't wear a wizard hat today, his long golden hair casually draped behind his back. He came closer and asked:
"You're going to the market, too?"
"Hmm." Carl looked bitter: "There are not enough magic stones..."
Not many indeed.
He carefully counted his supplies these days and found that there were only seven magic stones left.
Beast pills, magic items, potions, etc. are almost exhausted.
There are only a bunch of talismans for practice.
Whether going to another world to purchase supplies or collecting materials to build a wizard tower, magic stones are needed.
Besides, this temporary market is jointly organized by several major forces. There are many good things, so of course you can’t miss it.
"Me too."
Omar nodded:
"Fortunately, I still have some stock on hand. I hope I can find a suitable buyer at the market this time."
"well!"
"It would be great if I had the profound knowledge of Wizard Daniel, so I wouldn't have to worry about magic stones just by giving lectures."
"It's different." Carl shook his head. " Wizard Daniel's course is an open class. Not only disciples of the Tower, but also people who have a good relationship with the Tower can come to listen. The more people who attend the class, the more magic stones they can earn. Other wizards are reluctant to teach the class."
If you just give lectures to the disciples in the high tower, you won't earn many magic stones, and you will also waste time on cultivation.
If the Tower did not have a mandatory requirement for veteran wizards, few people would be willing to teach the class.
It is not easy to give open classes.
Among the wizards in the tower, only Daniel is qualified.
"Omar."
Wizard Daniel came down from upstairs and scanned the crowd. His eyes stopped on Omar and he said:
"Your mentor Bella has already gone to the market in advance. You can follow me later. Everyone else can come over as well."
"yes."
Omar should be.
The others followed to the square outside the tower.
Daniel took something out of his body and threw it to the ground. With white smoke rising, a luxurious sedan appeared on the scene.
The car body is made of mahogany and many places are covered with luxurious gold foil, which emits a faint golden light in the sun, demonstrating its dignity and majesty.
The gems on the shaft and the intricate carvings on the body of the chariot are not just decorations, they also convey some kind of witchcraft.
The horse is not the one pulling the cart.
Instead, they were four goats with pointed horns.
Spirit Sheep Carriage - a special structure creature in the six-ring tower, with the defense power of the first stage.
Daniel came to the side of the carriage and patted the carriage gently. With a sharp sound, the carriage slowly stretched towards the rear.
Not long.
The original two carriages were transformed into carriages similar to those of a train, each of which could accommodate two people sitting side by side.
“Get in the car!”
Carl and Omar got on a carriage.
Accompanied by the bleating of goats, this special train soared into the sky and flew into the distance.
…………
The temporary market was jointly organized by the Tower and several major families, and the location was set at the former Mulan Market.
The family that ruled the Mulan Market was destroyed by the beast tide, and the market became a ruin, but the people in the market did not all die.
Many people are still struggling to survive.
The reason for holding a temporary market here is to attract wizards from all over the world, drive out the aliens gathered here, and facilitate subsequent reconstruction.
Since it is a temporary market, there are naturally no regulations like a formal market. Daniel especially reminded people not to wander around and to pay attention to safety.
There has never been a shortage of wizards in the magical forest who are willing to take risks for profit.
New here.
Carl followed everyone obediently and observed the market environment, working from sunrise to sunset for several days.
Five days later.
evening,
The night is hazy.
The rugged road was full of mud, and the overgrown branches and abandoned houses seriously obstructed the view.
Carl changed into a knight's outfit, with a ghost mask on his face and a broadsword hanging from his waist. He had a fierce aura and it was obvious at first glance that he was a seasoned warrior.
His appearance under the mask had also changed, and even his aura and mental fluctuations were different from before.
Even a second-ring wizard might not be able to see through his disguise.
After several days of observation, the people following the tower became familiar with the environment and finally started to act alone this time.
Many of the things he has are not convenient to be seen in public, so if he wants to cash them in, he must do it secretly.
Going further ahead is the former residential area of Mulan Market.
Low wooden houses were rebuilt on the ruins, and some people could be seen rummaging through the ruins.
Clothes, bowls, pots, weapons and other useful things will be put away.
The corpses and other useless things were thrown aside.
The smelly corpses piled up on the roadside, attracting many carrion-eating insects and a foul odor.
The people here have become accustomed to this, and some even secretly hide fresh flesh and blood.
Cannibalism! There will always be people who can't help themselves when there is no other way.
Along the way, Karl's expression remained unchanged. He had seen too many tragic scenes, and his emotions were as calm as ever.
Across the residential area, the muddy ground turned into stone slabs, and the houses on both sides gradually became new and taller.
This is the newly built trade zone.
The temporary shops opened by several major families such as Gaota are all here, but Carl's goal is still ahead.
Under the night.
There are many vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the road, selling all kinds of strange and different goods.
Some sell food such as rice, fish and meat, some sell weapons such as swords, spears, and some sell various witchcraft materials and magical items.
In addition to the stalls, there were some tents scattered around. Carl lifted the curtain and entered one of them.
The tent doesn't look big from the outside, and three people can squeeze in while sitting cross-legged. But once you go inside, the space suddenly becomes spacious, more than a dozen square meters in size.
Space witchcraft!
This kind of witchcraft can only be mastered by beings above the second level, but some special instruments also have similar means.
For example, the pendant on Carl.
"Welcome!"
In the spacious room, a female wizard holding a crystal ball sat cross-legged in the middle, smiling and greeting:
"What do you want to buy? Or...sell?"
"Change!" Karl said concisely, took out the staff and wizard robes from Marian, and placed them in front of him:
"Change to a protective inherited magical weapon."
His mental strength is progressing slowly now, and the third sorcery, Thunder Wings, has not been completed yet. In addition, he is not following the path of plants and life, so these two things can't play a big role in his hands.
The key is to avoid the light.
It would be better to change it to something more useful.
"Life robes and a set of magic wands." The female wizard touched the things in front of her and said with a smile:
"Of course, I don't ask about the origins of things."
"A protective inherited magical weapon..."
"Two."
She flipped her hand and two things appeared in front of her.
An amulet and a bracelet.
"A first-level, low-grade inherited wizard weapon - the energy amulet. It can release an energy field, which can greatly weaken physical and wizard attacks, but it is not very useful against shadow and nightmare wizardry."
"A first-grade inherited magic weapon - the six-sided bracelet, can release six-sided crystal defense magic, and can withstand the magic of the late first stage. However, this is a defective product and may be scrapped after a few uses. But it is a first-grade inherited magic weapon after all. If you want to exchange it, you will need another thousand magic stones."
really!
The thing was still in her hand.
Karl's heart was moved, but his voice was somewhat unhappy:
"Both of your inherited magical weapons are obviously damaged, especially the six-sided bracelet. I'm afraid it will be broken after just one use, let alone a few times of use!"
“客官。”女性巫师笑着摇头：
“就算是受损，它们也是传承巫器，你带来的东西再好，也只是高级魔化物品。”
“高级魔化物品只是品阶，并不能代表它们真正的价值。”卡尔摇头： “我这两样东西是成套的魔化物品，材质更是上佳，只是炼制的手段不怎么高明，论价值并不比一阶下品的传承巫器差。”
“那只是客官你认为罢了。”女性巫师并未生气，摇头道： “同一种药剂，即使效果一模一样，出自高级炼药师之手也会比普通摊位上来的贵，这就是名气的加持。”
“而魔化物品、传承巫器的区别，别人一听，就知道哪个更值钱。”
“更何况……”
她身体前倾，笑道：
“我们处理客官手里这种来历不明的东西，也是要冒一定风险的。”
“……”卡尔抿嘴： “能量护符，另外再加一百枚魔石，这是我的底线，可以的话就成交！”
？
女性巫师美眸转动，视线从卡尔落在面前的生命法袍和法杖之上。
这一套魔化物品对生命系巫师的诱惑有多大她很清楚，换一件受损的传承巫器……
有的赚！ 想了想，她缓缓点头： “成交。”
“好。”卡尔松了口气，面上也露出一抹笑意： “你这里有没有如意软泥？”
“这种二阶材料，估计要等到半个月后的拍卖会上才能买的到。”女性巫师摇头。
交易完成，目送卡尔离开，女性巫师先是沉默片刻，突然开口问道： “你怎么看？”
“这人有问题。”角落里，一个冷冰冰的声音响起： “明明是骑士打扮，交易的东西却全都是巫师才能用得到，他的后面应该有一位正式巫师。”
“哦！”女性巫师挑眉： “你怎么没有怀疑他自己本身就是一位巫师，只是打扮成骑士的样子欺骗我们？”
“哼！”声音冷哼： “他体内的战气浓郁到让我几乎难以呼吸，证明他是一位传奇骑士，而且还是很厉害的那种，这点做不了假。”
“是吗？”女性巫师若有所思： “那还要不要……”
她比划了一下。
“最好不要。”角落里阴影晃动：
“能够驾驭这种传奇骑士的巫师绝对不是善茬，没必要为了一件受损的传承巫器惹麻烦。”
“现在才刚刚开市，后面会有更多的巫师过来，有的是机会和目标。”
“说的也是。”女性巫师点头，悄悄把自己想要施展的手段收起。
帐篷外，察觉到身上萦绕的那股气息消失不见，卡尔不由松了口气。
他知道这边不怎么安全，却也没想到第一次过来就差点被人给盯上。
好在目的已经达到。
摸了摸怀里的能量护符，一种安全感浮上心头，他抿了抿嘴继续朝前行去。
一个小时后。
卡尔出现在密修会开设的斧剑魔法商铺。
之所以选择这里，一是因为他需要的东西这里有售，二是因为密修会作为卡利姆大陆四大势力之一，相较于外面的摊位出售的东西价格有保障，即使贵一点也值得。
而且毕竟是四大，虽然也有蓝斯那种败类，相对来说还是更加安全。
“客官，请问有什么需要的？”
进入店铺，一位身高仅有半米出头、两眼圆滚的矮人就迎了过来。
据说密修会很多巫师精善血脉巫术，习惯雇佣异族人打工，看来是真的。
卡尔念头转动，开口问道： “我想要一阶的符印。”
“一阶符印。”矮人眨了眨眼： “客官请上二楼。”
二楼的售货员同样也是矮人，不过是女性矮人，一个个浓妆艳抹。
但想来能适应矮人审美的应该占少数。
“客官。”
一位头顶大花朵的女性矮人小跑着来到卡尔身边，递上一张写满文字的目录。
“这是我们在售的一阶符印，其中绝大部分没有现货，需要等等。”
卡尔点头。
他作为高塔药铺的负责人，对这一套很熟悉，密修会外售的符印大部分也是外人炼制。
视线扫过目录，在其中一条上顿了顿。
“如果魔石不够的话，可不可以以物换抵物，我也炼制了一些符印。”
“当然可以。”
矮人点头：
“不过我们这边需要收一定的费用，客官你要明白，经营商铺有各种支出。”
“同样的符印，以物抵物需要额外加二十枚魔石，不一样的话会有我们这里的巫师来分辨。”
“嗯。”卡尔放下心来，道： “我想要一阶中品的虚无触手符印！”
虚无触手！
一环控制系巫术。
能在一瞬间禁锢一百米之内的个体，施加强大的力量阻止目标的移动，并附加虚弱术、迟缓术等负面效果。
连珠火球威力不错，但速度太慢，面对体型巨大的传奇生物施展很方便，但如果目标是体积小、灵活强的传奇骑士或者巫师，就不怎么方便。
想要命中目标，必须限制对方的移动。
“客官。”矮人急忙道： “虚无触手符印属于特殊符印，它的价值是寻常一阶中品符印的三倍。”
“我们店铺现在也仅仅有一枚存货。”
“没关系！”卡尔点头，翻手从储物空间拿出四枚一阶中品的连珠火球符印：
“四枚换一枚，足够了吧？”
“足够了，足够了！”矮人双眼亮起： “我这就给您取。”
卡尔点头，眼中闪过一丝肉疼。
这四枚一阶中品符印，是他炼制很久才积累到，这么一眨眼就没了。
‘可惜，就算是密修会的店铺，也几乎没有一阶上品符印，不然怎么也要入手一枚。’
‘有了护符、符印，该回去找那列夫了。’
‘不！’
‘在此之前先用符印换些东西。’
…………
异世界。
黑暗集市。
被卡尔惦记的圣堂执事列夫正单膝跪地，迎接一位远道而来的客人。
“七长老。”
列夫抬头，面露狂热： “我已经查到守护者的所在。”
“嗯。”七长老摘下头顶的圆帽，点头开口： “你做的很好，在发现同伴任务失败后没有冒然动手，而是传讯求援，这不是胆怯，而是慎重。”
“是。”列夫垂首： “我怀疑守护者受到邪神的蛊惑，已经背叛了女神，证据是他一直不愿意去圣堂，更在激流城收集有关邪神的消息，而黑剑米莉亚也曾出现在附近。”
“以博肯带着六头亵渎古兽的实力，只有他与黑剑联手才有可能取胜。”
“黑剑……”七长老若有所思，开口问道： “守护者是不是已经进阶传奇？”
“应该是。”列夫点头： “从激流城调查的情况看，守护者卡尔的实力明显强于巅峰大骑士。”
“不过他并没有施展圣技，反倒是身上疑似有着好几种超品法印。”
“传奇！”七长老眼眉低垂： “女神这么偏爱他？”
作为圣堂长老，他很清楚修成巨灵呼吸法和依靠这门呼吸法进阶传奇有什么区别。
前者， 只需要女神的一个鼓励。
As for the latter, God needs to allocate His power to bestow His blessings!
For hundreds of years, God had never bestowed any gifts on the people of the temple. Why did God favor an outsider so much? Could it be that the goddess was confused?
Blasphemy!
You can't think like that! The Seventh Elder took a deep breath, calmed his fluctuating emotions, and fixed his eyes.
"Even if the guardian becomes a legendary knight, it doesn't matter. The holy skills I master just happen to restrain the giant spirit breathing method."
