“Good trick!”
A few days later.
The situation gradually became clear.
After learning about the turn of events, Carl couldn't help but applaud and admire, and also lamented Millie's bad luck.
"Klah is worthy of being the most outstanding wizard of the Andrew family in the past thousand years. No one would have thought that he would help the wizards of the Nelson family become second-ring wizards and cultivate a hostile force for his own family."
"No!"
"The Andrew and Nelson families must have signed a private contract and formed an alliance with each other."
"in this way……"
"The Andrew family has gained a second-ring force as an ally, and can solve the troubles that have plagued the family for hundreds of years in one fell swoop."
"sharp!"
In fact, the plan was carried out as Krach predicted. At least twenty official wizards who had grudges against the Andrew family were killed, and even a second-ring wizard was killed.
If Carl hadn't taken action.
Millie and Strade also could not escape the disaster.
After a brief period of chaos, the market outside the shops returned to peace again, and the faces of passers-by were less anxious.
“The fighting between the powers that be may create opportunities for people to suddenly become rich, but it will also create chaos and is not in the interests of the general public.”
Karl rested his chin on his hand, thinking: "For the people of Leipzig Market, it doesn't matter who is the manager. The key is to avoid chaos."
"Now that the situation is clear and stable, I naturally no longer feel uneasy."
“That’s fine too!”
Nodding, he turned around and was about to go to the backyard, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he looked up at the sky.
Flying over the market is prohibited, but a few people have special privileges.
Daniel, who represents the six-ring tower, is one of them.
“Karl!”
Daniel, dressed in a white robe, landed in front of the store and called Carl. After a moment of hesitation, he said slowly, "After discussion, the High Tower has decided to relieve you of your position as store manager from today onwards. Wizard June will take over as your replacement."
"Huh?" Carl was stunned: "Wizard June still has a mine to manage. Does she have time?"
"It's always possible if we squeeze in." Daniel sighed:
"Be careful next time."
Karl frowned. There seemed to be other meanings in the other party’s words, and he suddenly removed his position...
"Gold requested it?"
"..." Daniel looked embarrassed and nodded.
"A few days ago, a message came from Kalim Continent as usual, and this time they asked more about Lance's situation."
"so……"
"You should be thankful that this is the Enchanted Forest. If you were in Kalim, you might not be alive now."
Karl's face darkened: "What should I do in the future?"
"Actually..." Daniel whispered, "Gold proposed to expel you from the Six Ring Tower, but Wizard Vulcan vetoed it because he couldn't stand it."
"But from now on, the tower will not assign you any tasks, and the wizards' lessons will also be suspended. Everything... depends on you."
?
How is this different from being expelled from the Six Ring Tower? "How could this happen?" Carl couldn't help but said angrily:
"Lance's death has nothing to do with me!"
"Yes, I believe this too." Daniel nodded:
"But his identity is not ordinary after all, and Gold needs someone to share the family's anger."
"Then..." Carl made a final struggle:
"Can I still go to Kalim Continent?"
"Are you sure you want to go?" Daniel's eyes were complicated:
"Going there may not be a good choice for you."
Carl was silent.
really.
The Green family's influence here is limited, and it is difficult to ensure their own safety if they go to the continent of Kalim.
"Wizard Daniel!" Carl took a deep breath and spoke in a muffled voice: "No matter where Lance went, he would cause trouble with his personality. I just did what I should do. Does the tower have to cover for me?"
"Karl." Daniel frowned:
"You have to understand that we all have to go back. The Green family has a very special position in the tower, and no one wants to offend them."
“Hmm…”
As if he felt really bad, he spoke slowly, "If you need anything now, I will try my best to satisfy you."
"Need it?" Carl smiled bitterly. "Without a position, I cannot attend classes, and I have no way to go to the Kalim Continent. Am I considered a disciple of the Six Ring Tower?"
"so!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "I hope to learn the complete method of making a wizard tower. I can pay the corresponding magic stones for this."
Wizard Tower? Daniel's eyes moved slightly.
Given Carl's current condition, he certainly cannot go to the continent of Kalim. If he stays here, building a wizard tower is only natural.
"Can."
Nodding, Daniel said, "I have three methods of building wizard towers. If you want them... three hundred magic stones."
"But you need to sign a contract. You can build a wizard tower by yourself, but you can't teach the method to others."
Three hundred magic stones! Carl's eyes lit up.
This free gift makes almost no difference. As for not being able to pass it on to others, it is also a common rule in the tower.
"good!"
He nodded heavily, "Also, I need some time to pack my things. Is it okay to leave the store in two days?"
"That's okay." Daniel smiled. "Today I'm only dismissing you from your position. I'm not saying I'm driving you away. The Tower is not that cold."
"Heh..." Carl responded with a dry smile.
"Don't be too sad." Daniel whispered to comfort:
"These punishments are temporary. In a few years, Gold will return and everything will be fine."
"Wait a few decades, and Lance's death will be forgotten. You can go to Kalim Continent again."
"..." Carl sighed softly: "I hope so!"
While packing up, a message from Oma came on the magic paper, and she also knew about Carl's situation.
She said that if I had nowhere to go, I could stay with her for a while.
Staying here?
Carl shook his head slightly.
Omar is one of his few friends. If he really asked to stay with him, it might anger Gold. There is no need to implicate him.
…………
the next day.
Carl goes to visit Enid.
"sit."
Enid looked relaxed, preparing milk tea with a spoon in her hand, and motioned for Carl to find a seat:
"Thank you for helping take care of Zoe during this time."
A second-ring wizard was born in the family, and an alliance was formed with Andrew. As a member of the Nelson family, the anxiety and tension she once had disappeared, replaced by leisure and ease.
Even the skin on my face seemed to become radiant.
"As I should." Karl sighed, "You should have heard about my story, right?"
"Um."
Enid nodded, "I didn't expect the Six Ring Tower to be so...powerful. It was Zoe who got you into trouble."
"It has already happened. How it happened is not important anymore." Karl took the milk tea handed to him and said:
"I want to know if the Nelson family can take in a poor homeless person like me?"
"Just kidding." Enid chuckled:
"You are an official wizard after all. Any force will welcome you to join."
"That's right."
"This time we teamed up with the Andrew family to kill many wizards and got a lot of spoils. Are you interested?"
Karl knocked on the table and shook his head slightly.
The other party's words were very polite, but in fact he was trying to change the subject. It seemed that this "friend" was unreliable.
Too!
The Nelson family lives next to the tower, and the patriarch might be a friend of Gold, so there is no need to offend him because of myself.
"Wizard Carl."
Enid whispered, "If you want, I can give you a discount on some things. I guarantee the lowest price."
"never mind!"
Carl stood up:
"I'll go somewhere else."
"Wait a minute!" Enid gritted her teeth and said, "Karl, the Nelson family does not intend to take you in, but I can help you find a safe place."
“Hmm…”
"I have a place to stay in the market, which is patrolled every day, and no one dares to cause trouble there."
"Karl, my friend."
She smiled bitterly: "I hope you can understand, I really can't do anything."
“It’s okay.” Karl’s tone slowed down: “I’m satisfied as long as I have a place to live.”
* * * Although Carl still has the title of a disciple of the Six-Ring Tower, it is actually almost the same as losing his identity.
However, things have come to this point, and if we kill them all, even Gold would have a hard time explaining himself.
The Enchanted Forest is not the continent of Kalim after all.
The Green family is not that powerful yet.
Hiding in the residence introduced by Enid, Carl closed the door and refused visitors, taking the opportunity to concentrate on his practice.
The materials needed for the concentrated life potion have not been gathered yet, so I just put the construction of the wizard tower on the agenda.
Having a wizard tower of one's own is the dream of every official wizard, and he is no exception.
Wizard towers are divided into natural wizard towers, shadow wizard towers, etc. according to the different schools of the owners...
certainly.
Some people also call it the Bloodline Research Base or Nightmare Garden.
Depending on the location, it is divided into floating wizard towers, underground wizard towers, and the most common wizard tower built on the top of the mountain.
Daniel gave three methods of building wizard towers, one of which is a floating wizard tower.
The other two are the more common wizard towers.
"In the wizard tower, with the help of the energy of the astral world and magic stones, the power of wizards' magic will be greatly increased, and the consumption of mental energy will be reduced. A first-level wizard can also cast second-level magic."
"This is equivalent to learning the second-level witchcraft in advance. It will naturally be easier to break through the realm. Not to mention other benefits, this alone is hard to refuse."
Flipping through the records about the wizard tower in the book, Carl's eyes flickered, and many thoughts fluctuated: "If you want to build a wizard tower, the Eye of Insight and the Star Disk are indispensable."
"The Eye of Insight can observe everything near the Wizard Tower, and the Star Disk can connect to the astral world."
"The Star Disks here are similar to those used in witchcraft traps, but they are more complex and expensive. The cheapest Star Disks cost thousands of magic stones, and the better ones cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of magic stones."
“No wonder!”
"No wonder most wizard towers are built by one family. It's almost impossible for one person to succeed."
After thinking about it, he summoned his data panel.
Name: Carl
Constitution: 12 Mental Strength: 7.1 Essence: 0 Level: Legendary Knight, First Ring Wizard
Abyssal Bloodline Fusion Degree: 37% "The value has not changed much, belonging to the bottom of the first-stage mid-stage, but it does not represent the actual combat power."
"The Holy Breath has allowed the fighting spirit to evolve, and the second level of the Holy Demon Transformation has also been cultivated. With the wizard's methods, even if I face Gold, I may not be without a chance."
“Hmm…”
"It's time to go out for a walk."
…………
It is impossible for Karl to hide in the Leipzig market for the rest of his life, and the identity of the Six-Ring Tower is dispensable to him.
The main thing is to have a fixed place for practice and a sustainable source of income.
At worst, building a wizard tower requires choosing a suitable location, even if he plans to build a floating tower.
"You think you can find ways to deal with me if you drive me out of the Six Ring Tower? You think too simply."
"I am no longer a stranger who has just arrived at the Magic Forest and knows nothing. Even the locals may not be as familiar with the surrounding environment as I am."
After packing up his things, Carl headed towards the outskirts of the market.
Most of the local natives he killed would have their bodies destroyed and even their souls taken to the fragments of the divine realm.
Through the memories of other people, I learned a lot of secrets.
for example,
Dream Market.
This is a market hundreds of kilometers away from the Leipzig market, hidden in an unstable demiplane.
“Swish!”
Carl's figure appeared near a valley.
The valley was filled with thick fog. Two wizard apprentices were standing at the entrance of the valley and came over to greet them when they saw the situation.
"Dear wizard, you need a magic stone to enter the Dream Market. Please don't let your emotions fluctuate violently, otherwise you will be easily expelled."
"Um."
Carl threw a magic stone over and walked into the valley, his figure blurring and gradually disappearing.
“It’s like a dream but not a dream!”
When the view suddenly brightened, Carl was already on a shabby street, and everything he saw was blurry.
Like a dream,
If you don’t look closely everything seems normal, but if you look closely you’ll notice that the details are distorted in different ways from reality.
But his body did enter here.
"No wonder it's called the Dream Market. I don't know what the principle of this demiplane is, but it will suppress the mental power of second-ring wizards. If a first-ring wizard forcibly casts a spell, he will be expelled by the power of the law. Safety can be guaranteed."
Turning his sight, he found the person in charge here and spent five magic stones to rent a storefront for a long time.
He casually wrote a sign and hung it up, then headed towards the interior of the market.
The Wonderful House of the Eyeless.
“Boom boom!”
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
A hoarse voice came from the room.
Karl pushed the door open and was greeted by a strange sour smell, which made him frown and take a step back subconsciously.
“Do dreams have flavors?”
"This is not a real dream." An old wizard with empty eyes sat in the middle of the room.
He held a skull with ghostly eyes in his hands, and looked Carl up and down.
A strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"It's actually the honorable Wizard Karl. This is the first time I see a disciple from the Six Ring Tower here."
He clearly had no eyes, but he could still "see" the person coming, even though Carl had disguised himself to a certain extent.
Old Brin the Eyeless, a wizard with special sensory abilities.
"Hmph!" Carl snorted coldly, "This market is not formal after all. The market is managed by a few first-ring late-stage wizards who have good relationships. It is not as safe as the Leipzig market. Of course, the disciples of the Sixth Ring Tower will not come here."
"Heh..." Old Brin grinned:
"That's not necessarily true."
"The Dream Market has been open for more than 200 years, and there have only been a few disturbances. The Leipzig Market has been in turmoil several times in recent years."
"That's right." Karl nodded, "Since you know me, you should have heard about me. I am no longer a disciple of the Six Ring Tower."
"I heard that you are well-informed. Do you know where I can buy materials to build a wizard tower?"
"Star Disk?" The old wizard thought for a moment and said, "I'll find out for you and let you know when I have any news."
"good."
Carl nodded, told the other party the location of the store he rented, and left soon after.
I had just returned to the store and had not had time to clean up when someone came to visit.
"Excuse me, what price do you give for the pumice?"
The person who came spoke cautiously. He subconsciously covered the cloth bag tied around his waist with his left hand and tightly grasped the staff with his left hand.
Although she wore a veil that suggested witchcraft and deliberately wore loose clothing, it could not conceal her female identity.
There were three other people beside her. Four of them should be the most common small group in the Magic Forest.
There are wizard apprentices and great knights.
Karl glanced at the four people casually and said:
"One hundred magic stones per side."
"One hundred?" The other party hesitated, exchanged glances with his friends, and asked in a low voice:
"Can it be more expensive?"
"Heh..." Carl chuckled. "Bring the pumice stones here first. As long as you have the pumice stones, we can negotiate the price."
