Back at his own shop, Carl looked thoughtful: "I already have the combat power of a mid-level first-order, but I can still sense danger from Millie..."
"She must have a powerful inherited magical weapon on her!"
"and……"
"There's an official wizard hiding nearby!"
"No wonder the two of them dared to show up. I guess they were confident that they could control the situation even if I turned hostile at that time."
"And Saint Spear Bardo, although he may not be in the same group with them, he must be secretly connected with them, otherwise he would not choose to meet me there."
"but……"
"None of this has anything to do with me!"
Carl put the package in his hand on the table, smiled, and took out a few thick books from it.
Potion Book! The Capet family has ruled the Leipzig market for hundreds of years. In addition to its own strong foundation, it also has a team of knights who fight in all directions.
With a legendary knight as the leader and a great knight as the captain, there are hundreds of knights roaming around the market.
To train so many knights, potions are essential.
In fact, every large family would collect various potion formulas, weapons, and witchcraft techniques.
This is the foundation of family inheritance.
However, the Capet family no longer exists, and these things are of little use to Millie and the others.
Of course, what is traded are only common potion formulas; certain special potions will not be taken out so easily.
"Life potion!"
Opening one of the books, Carl couldn't help but sigh:
"Once upon a time, I was bothered by getting a life potion, but now I can't even look at it."
"Spirit potion, blood potion, sacred potion..."
"Um?"
"Concentrated Life Potion!"
His gaze paused on one of the potion formulas, and after taking a closer look, a smile broke out on his face.
“This one fits!”
Practicing the Holy Demon Transformation requires a large amount of life energy to replenish, and life potions are undoubtedly the best choice.
But unfortunately, the life potion can help knight squires to be promoted to knights, and it contains pure life energy, but its effect is too weak for Carl.
In order to achieve the effect of tempering the body, according to his estimation, at least a dozen servings would be needed every day.
A dozen! That’s hundreds of copies a month, thousands of copies a year, and that’s still an underestimation.
Not to mention the magic stones consumed, which he couldn't even afford, the amount alone would attract other people's attention.
"A portion of concentrated life potion contains ten times as much life energy as a life potion. The key is..."
"Most of the materials needed to refine this potion are available in other worlds, mainly the origin cores of second-level creatures."
“Hmm…”
"The Andrew family's zoo is responsible for handling the hunted aliens. It should have the origin of second-level creatures, right?"
Carl put away the things in his hands and walked out of the store again. When he came back, he had an ant nest in his hand.
Control the beast!
Theoretically, this witchcraft can control alien creatures of the same level as the practitioner, but Carl has just gotten started and can only control low-level creatures. Even demonized creatures are difficult to control.
But it’s better this way.
Ordinary wild beasts can be found everywhere and are not likely to arouse the wizard's vigilance.
And there is another advantage. It is easy for the wizard who refines the structure to secretly leave a backdoor, but there is no such worry when using ordinary beasts.
In the memory of the Blood Claw Assassin, there is a method to attach one's mental power to ordinary creatures.
Carl followed the same method, splitting out a few thoughts and placing them in the ant colony, then finding a chance to drop them near the zoo.
Next.
Just wait and watch the show.
…………
Half a month later.
“Crack!”
There were flashes of lightning in the air, and Carl's figure flashed, and he appeared again more than ten meters away.
The speed is so fast that it is comparable to teleportation.
First Ring Witchcraft——Thunder Wings! "Huh..."
Karl exhaled lightly, his face showing joy: "Finally, I have completed it!"
Thunder Wings is different from ordinary first-ring sorcery. The spell model is more complex and involves more knowledge and theory. It is equivalent to an advanced version of flying.
certainly.
After mastering it, the speed is even faster! "Finally, I can fly off the ground without the magic carpet. My current speed should be similar to that of a mid-level first-ring wizard performing the flying spell. The key is that I can be agile and elusive, so I have more chances to escape from a strong enemy."
"It's the Holy Demon Transformation that's progressing slowly."
Carl underestimated the consumption of life energy by the Holy Demon Transformation, or overestimated the amount of the life potion.
If you want to continue practicing as before, you need to take at least twenty doses of life potion every day.
Twenty copies! That is forty magic stones.
Relying solely on the compensation that the tower gives to the shop owner, the income will not last for many days a year and is totally unacceptable.
“It should be soon!”
Looking back at the location of the Andrew Family, Karl's eyes flashed slightly.
A few days ago, a second-ring wizard from the Andrew family came to the Leipzig market and took charge of the family.
This is not a good thing! It means that relying on only one second-ring wizard, the situation is no longer under control.
But the Andrew family owns several markets and it is impossible for them to focus most of their energy here.
That second-ring wizard will leave sooner or later.
Then...
I'm afraid something unexpected will happen.
The Nelson family, on the other hand, has been very well behaved in recent times, with all the wizards in the family staying indoors.
"Um?"
After pondering for a moment, Carl raised his eyebrows slightly, found a safe place to sit down, and activated a spell.
moment.
An ant far away near the zoo raised its head, and everything it saw with its photosensitive single and compound eyes was projected into Carl's "sight".
"boom!"
Three huge fireballs fell from the sky and exploded after landing. The flames spread throughout the zoo in an instant.
Talisman - continuous fireballs! Not just one talisman, but several in a row. More than a dozen fireballs roared and fell fiercely towards the zoo.
Really? Karl's mouth twitched slightly in the distance.
Even if it is the same kind of talisman, the details will be different when made by different people. He recognized at a glance that this was the talisman he had made.
"It seems that I have used too many talismans in the past two years, even against the Andrew family."
"Don't let anyone use it against me!"
“Buzz…”
A flash of blood appeared in the zoo, and a ball of rich blood and energy roared out, instantly extinguishing all the flames.
It was like a blood-red cover surrounding the zoo.
Barrier!
As one of the more important industries of the Andrew family, it was natural for the zoo to be set up with a barrier.
However, the slow reaction and failure to trigger the attack before the first wave of attacks was a serious dereliction of duty.
But Carl soon understood what was going on.
As soon as the blood-colored barrier was activated, it began to tremble rapidly, and then shattered, and a roar was heard from inside the zoo.
"Tulsi!"
“You actually betrayed the Andrew Family!”
Vincent's roar was deafening, and at the same time, a violent burst of wizard aura was heard from inside the zoo.
There's a traitor! Millie and the others really came prepared.
"boom……"
A blinding light burst out and Carl lost his sight instantly. It was obvious that the ants close to the zoo had been affected and killed.
But it doesn't matter.
He had placed a lot of spies nearby, and at this moment the witchcraft changed, and the zoo reappeared from another angle.
This time, several masked wizard apprentices rushed into the menagerie and fought with the guards.
"You are so brave!"
As the ground cracked and dirt flew everywhere, Vincent rushed out wearing a pair of strange gloves on his hands.
“Go to hell!”
First-level witchcraft—energy torrent! Visible air currents gushed out from his hands, sweeping in all directions like a wave.
A mid-level first-ring wizard, even if he had been injured and was weak, could easily crush a wizard apprentice.
Just at this moment.
An invisible force field appeared before the energy torrent.
Force field wall! "Swish!"
Millie, a shadowy figure, appeared on the scene, holding a blue rapier and stabbed Vincent.
"boom!"
Before he could see clearly what happened, Carl lost his sight again.
"It's not a test. Millie actually showed up."
He originally thought that this attack was a test, but now looking at the situation, it is obviously not.
But the second-ring wizard of the Andrew family is still there, how dare she take action?
unless……
Millie knew very well that the second-ring wizard had no time to pay attention to her!
Karl's heart moved, and he suddenly looked towards the location of the Andrew Family. Then he saw a flash of lightning falling from the sky and hitting the Andrew Family's residence directly.
"boom!"
The whole market was shaken.
Second Ring Witchcraft - Thunder from the Sky! "Second Ring Witch!"
Carl looked solemn:
"The one from the Nelson family specializes in shadow magic. Even if he advances, he will never be able to perform second-ring lightning magic. So there is another second-ring one..."
"It looks like this time it's going to be a big one!"
He tried to use different magic again, but it failed again and again. It seemed that all the ants placed near the zoo had died.
By the time they were connected again, they were already far away from the zoo.
What a coincidence.
The figures of Vincent and others are still within sight.
This time, in addition to Millie, two official wizards also showed up, and the three of them joined forces to kill Vincent.
But several people had already left the zoo.
Chance!
Carl's heart moved, and he turned into a ray of lightning and rushed towards the animal farm.
He rubbed his face in mid-air, and then his flesh squirmed and his bones grew, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a big man with rough features.
He stretched out his hand, and a huge hammer larger than his body appeared in his palm.
Gravity Hammer!
soon.
Carl's figure appeared in the zoo. With a push of his big hand, the wooden door separating the inner and outer courtyards in front of him flew out.
"roar!"
Before he could step into the backyard, the ground in front of him rolled and a legendary creature resembling a crocodile rushed towards him.
The giant crocodile was huge, with a mouth full of sharp teeth. When it saw Carl, it opened its mouth wide and pounced fiercely.
The scales on its body are thick and dense, and the surface is glowing with a faint spiritual light, which probably means it has a strong resistance to witchcraft.
"Oh……"
Seeing this, Carl snorted and smashed forward with a huge hammer in his hand. The heavy hammer left an afterimage in his hand.
"Bang!"
The terrifying force caused the giant crocodile's head to sink into the ground, and the scales on its head flew everywhere.
The blood gushing from the top of the head flowed along the ravine.
"First-order creature!"
Carl stepped forward with the giant hammer in hand, looking around: "With the means of the Andrew family, it is not difficult to control some legendary creatures to guard their home, especially since this is a zoo, and the most common ones are various aliens."
"so……"
"Where is the body of the second-order creature?"
At this time, Carl had the physique of a mid-first stage, and his Holy Demon Transformation had been cultivated to the second level, which was equivalent to a top legendary creature.
In addition to various means, he rushed all the way, leaving behind the corpses of strange beasts in the backyard of the zoo.
"Bang!"
He casually destroyed a house, and Karl looked at the figures curled up in the room with a smile on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, ask a few questions. I am a kind person. As long as you answer honestly, not only will you be fine, but you will also be rewarded."
"Or do you want to fall into the hands of others?"
The people in the Magic Forest have always been adventurous. In fact, people like Carl who are tolerant are a minority. After a short period of chaos, many people rushed into the zoo to take advantage of the fire.
These people's methods are far more brutal than Carl's.
* * * Klah, wearing a second-level life robe and holding a dark moon staff, stood in the void, frowning and looking around with a gloomy expression.
Here he could not sense the astral realm, and even the elemental fluctuations in the air were in an extremely inert state.
This would greatly reduce the power of witchcraft.
"Dimensional barrier?"
"good!"
The void in front of him shook, and several figures appeared one after another.
The man in the middle had gray hair and a wrinkled face, holding a strange cane and looking at Krach.
"Old friend, we meet again!"
"It's you!" Krach's eyes moved slightly:
"Magician Kit, you are not dead yet?"
"How can I bear to die while the Andrew family is still here?" Gitt grinned with a strange smile on his face: "Klah, you don't have to waste time. We have investigated clearly that the other two second-ring wizards of the Andrew family are not nearby."
"As for the six-ring tower..."
He shook his head slightly: "The reason why the tower can stand tall is because they never participate in competition between forces."
"It seems that you are well prepared." Krach's eyes twitched, and he looked at the person next to him: "Duns, are you sure you want to be an enemy of our Andrew family?"
"I don't want to either." Compared to the two of them, Duns looked much younger. Hearing this, he sighed:
"But the Leipzig market cannot accommodate the Nelson family. In this case, I have no choice but to take action first."
Duns!
The Nelson family's new second-ring wizard.
Today's game was set up by him and the magician Kit in an attempt to take the opportunity to kill Krach.
As long as Krach is killed, the Andrew family will have one less second-ring wizard and will not dare to act rashly.
"Ha ha……"
Kit laughed:
"Klah, you didn't expect that in order to fight against your family, Duns took the initiative to contact us."
"The Nelson family's dimensional bracelet can even create a dimensional barrier that isolates everything for a short period of time."
"I know you are powerful, but here..."
He looked around: "We have two second-ring wizards and four first-ring late-stage wizards. You have no chance of winning!"
"Ahem!" Duns coughed softly: "Kit."
"The dimensional barrier can only last for a short time, so...should we take action?"
Having said that, he glanced at Krach of the Andrew family.
"certainly."
Git nods:
"I'm just a little too excited. After all, I've been waiting for more than two hundred years for this day!"
"That's enough." Krach's voice sank: "Go ahead!"
"good!"
Duns nodded. He seemed a little impatient and with his hands, countless shadows spread out in all directions.
Second ring witchcraft-shadow attack!
This witchcraft is best at sneak attacks and assassinations, but the targets he chose were beyond the expectations of his companions.
Not Krach, but them!
"puff!"
“Puff!”
In an instant, two first-ring late-stage wizards fell to the ground. Although the remaining few people cast spells to avoid the attack, their expressions changed drastically.
Git roared:
"Duns!"
He looked at Duns in disbelief, his eyes full of anger, which then turned into fear and despair.
How could this happen? "Git." Krach said calmly, shaking his head, "Where do you think the Nelson family's dimensional bracelet came from? Do you think Duns could advance to the second ring without the Andrew family's consent?"
"good."
While controlling a ring of witchcraft in the shadow pursuit field, Duns said:
"Even the reason why the Vortex Butterfly can be refined into a potion is thanks to Mr. Krach."
"The Andrew family has long wanted to get rid of you, so they used me to lure you here so that we can deal with you together."
"Feel sorry!"
He said sincerely, "I really can't refuse Mr. Krach's proposal."
"Yes!" Krach used the second-ring magic to attack the furious Git, and said in a leisurely voice: "Cultivate a family with a second-ring wizard to resolve the enemies that the Andrew family has accumulated over the years..."
"This deal is a good deal no matter how you look at it!"
