"clatter!"

As drops of blue liquid dripped into the container, a faint fragrance spread.

Stimulated by this fragrance, the dry grass seeds scattered on the floor and in the cracks of the stones began to sprout again.

Not long.

The whole room became lush and green.

"It took more than a month, and I wasted materials worth at least a thousand magic stones, but I finally succeeded."

Carl picked up the container and said with emotion: "Concentrated Life Potion..."

"Speaking of which, with my current alchemy skills, I should be considered a first-level alchemist, right?"

"It's just that I'm a little biased. I can only make a few first-level potions. It seems that there is no such thing as an all-round pharmacist."

“Try it!”

After swallowing the liquid in the container in one gulp, before you have time to savor the taste, pure life energy rushes from your belly and stomach to your limbs and bones, reaching the tips of your hair.

"Um!"

Carl groaned.

This life energy was so huge that even he, a legendary knight, couldn't help but blush.

It is somewhat similar to the state of oxygen intoxication, the whole person feels dizzy, the heart beats faster, and the blood flows rapidly.

Meditate!

Concentrate!

The wrath of Thundergod! Carl's eyes narrowed, and his sanity instantly returned. At the same time, his skin and the fighting spirit in his body operated according to a specific method.

Holy Demon Transformation! Pure life energy stimulates the body and provides continuous support for the practice of Holy Demon Transformation.

The method that had not made any progress for a long time was once again rapidly increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A week later.

Carl, with his upper body naked, was practicing boxing and kicking in the secret room. His simple movements contained an indestructible force, and compared with before, his moves were more varied and more sophisticated.

"drink!"

Sirius Phantom Demon Fist! Afterimages instantly appeared in the field, as if a clone technique had been performed, and several Carls appeared at the same time.

Each afterimage is doing different actions.

High fives, punches, slams, elbows...

"Bang!"

The air was violently agitated.

The many afterimages in the field suddenly retracted, and Carl's whole body was steaming with heat, and his chest rose and fell rapidly.

"As expected of a sacred skill passed down from the Holy Hall, the techniques are extremely complex. Even with my current physique and the blessing of absolute control over the fragments of the Divine Realm, I have only just begun to master it."

"fortunately!"

He clenched his fists, his eyes flickering, "The blood of the Abyss Squid involves shadows and dreams, which has a certain bonus to the practice of the Heavenly Wolf Phantom Demon Fist. Otherwise, it will probably take some time."

“Come again!”

This feeling of growing strength is addictive, and even some worries are dispelled.

…………

Endless sea.

This sea hides many secrets, even the gods find it difficult to know them all.

One of the areas is shrouded in thick fog all year round, and once you enter it, you will get lost.

In the center of the thick fog, there is a huge vortex, like a monster's huge mouth opening up to swallow everything.

“Wow…”

Most of the vortex was shrinking inward, but every once in a while, it would spit out something.

Mermaid!

Emerging from the whirlpool were the mermaids that were wreaking havoc on the coastline.

Every time it spewed, dozens or hundreds of mermaids were thrown in all directions and out of the fog.

They will swim to the coastline following some kind of call, join the mermaid army and crazily slaughter other creatures.

This day.

An arrow-shaped fishing boat cut through the water and appeared near the thick fog. A big knight stood at the bow and watched the mermaids rolling around.

He ignored the restless mermaids and looked up at the sky with a fanatical look on his face. He knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness Meivia, this is where the mermaids appeared. I believe this is also where the evil god is hiding."

"We investigated for a whole year and finally found this place."

The sky was blue, there was no human figure and no response.

But as his voice fell, a dark cloud began to gather in the air and expanded rapidly.

Darkness enveloped everything.

Unlike ordinary dark clouds, this dark cloud seems to have the power to destroy everything.

The algae withered, dead fish floated to the surface of the sea, and the mermaids swimming around gradually lost their lives.

Only the wooden boat and the knight on it seemed to have been protected and were not affected.

die!

Covering everything.

"boom!"

A loud noise was heard from the depths of the fog, and a huge eye emerged from the depths of the vortex, looking at the dark clouds in the sky.

This giant eye is so big that it is beyond imagination. Its diameter is nearly 100 meters. Its pupil is as deep as a black hole, swallowing up all the light and sound around it, leaving only silence and despair. Its northern part is not the common white, but a strange dark purple, revealing an ancient and evil aura.

The giant eye is surrounded by layers of eyelids, which look like ancient circular mountains or city walls. The mottled lines on it are like hideous scars, recording the endless years and battles it has experienced.

What was particularly terrifying was that this giant eye seemed to have some kind of power to see through everything. The moment it appeared, even the world began to tremble.

"The God of Death and Sleep..."

The pupil of the giant eye contracted, and invisible waves of thought surged in all directions:

"Dirty, inferior demigod blood..."

"You're not much better." Meivia's plump, powerful body appeared in mid-air, looking down: "Eye Demon..."

"After all, it is just a wisp of the evil god's will. Even if it has a certain amount of power with the help of something, it is still in the late stage of the first level and cannot break through the limitations of the Moon Goddess."

"Mevia." The giant eye trembled, and the thoughts began to slow down: "We can join forces."

"Your world has been abandoned by the gods. The collapsing divine realm is constantly devouring the origin of the world. Perhaps this world will be completely destroyed without waiting for the arrival of the gods from other realms."

"If you and I join forces and sacrifice enough original power, my true body can descend upon this world. Then this world will belong to the Eye Demon, and you will be the first person under the Eye Demon's true body..."

"No!"

"The First God!"

"If the evil god was trustworthy, the divine realm would not have become what it is now." Meivia shook her head slightly:

"Speak!"

"How did you regain consciousness?"

The giant eye did not answer, but just stared at Meivia's body with its huge pupils, and a ray of light that penetrated the sky and the earth suddenly appeared.

Divine Art - Evil Ray! Maivia, who was hit by the divine art, had no expression on his face, and his body dispersed like smoke. Then, a black spear with the breath of death fell from the sky and hit the pupil of the giant eye, piercing deep into it.

"boom!"

The violent waves swept across the sea area for more than ten miles.

"The evil god's intention has been destroyed. Pass the order to strangle the mermaids and restore fishing and hunting in Freeport as soon as possible."

The thick fog dissipated.

Meivia's tired voice echoed in the air for a long time.

* * * A few months later.

The secret room of Rapid City.

"drink!"

With a loud shout, the rocky ground beneath Carl's feet cracked like tofu, and visible shock waves spread out from his body in all directions.

"Bang!"

The entire secret room shook violently.

More than just a secret room!

The houses outside, and even the entire mountain top, were shaking at this moment due to this tremendous force.

"It's done!"

Karl raised his hand and looked at his slightly bronze skin with a satisfied smile on his face.

"The third level of Holy Demon Transformation!"

"Bronze body!"

The three levels of Saint Demon Transformation are a hurdle. Once completed, it means that a certain realm has been completed and the strength will increase greatly.

After the first three layers are completed, you will have a bronze body.

"This is much harder than bronze!"

I pinched the skin and flesh. Although it looked similar to that of a normal person, in fact, even the so-called magic weapon could not pierce it.

"I wonder how resistant it is to witchcraft?"

He took out a gravity talisman commonly used by wizard apprentices and threw it out, and the gravity around him changed accordingly.

Triple gravity! "Hmm..."

Carl squinted his eyes and stood within the range of the witchcraft. His body just twisted a little and then returned to normal.

"invalid!"

"My body spontaneously resists the influence of witchcraft. Zero-ring witchcraft barely makes any changes noticeable to me."

"So……"

"puff!"

A first-order initial stage talisman fireball is activated.

Three huge fireballs appeared out of nowhere around Carl, and the high temperature caused the soil to harden quickly.

"Come!"

Carl growled, and three fireballs that could smash city gates and melt rocks fell on him at the same time.

"boom!"

Flames exploded.

The figure inside stretched out his arms, as if bathing in a stream of water, letting the scalding magma slide down his body.

"First-order early stage witchcraft can be almost ignored, but first-order mid-stage witchcraft can have an impact."

"Late Stage 1..."

"It can still hurt me. This is still a sigil. If it was cast by a wizard it would be even more powerful."

Carl shook his head:

"This is normal. Knights are generally weaker than wizards of the same level. What's more, my cultivation is only at the middle stage of the first level. I just took a shortcut to make my body stronger. My foundation is still insufficient after all."

"but……"

"In close combat, I should have no problem killing a first-level wizard with three punches now."

"Gold..."

Pursing his lips, he shook his head gently:

"Gold is from the Green family, and he has top-notch inherited magical weapons on him. Although he is only in the middle stage of the first ring, he can be considered a late stage first ring wizard. He may not have much chance of winning in a head-on confrontation."

"If we get close, we'll have a good chance!"

Looking down at his body, Carl shrugged helplessly:

"My body's defense is sufficient, but my clothes are not. It seems I need to buy a sturdy piece of clothing. Otherwise, it will not look good if I run away as soon as I start fighting."

Walk out of the secret room.

Two carrier pigeons were hovering in the room.

Carl walked up and took off the note tied to the pigeon's leg, and when he unfolded it, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Double happiness!"

"Merlen is indeed the person with the most connections in the Dark Market. It is the right thing to let him sell the Zeal Potion."

Two notes.

One from Aya and one from Melen.

Melen brought good news from the Dark Market. After more than half a year of selling, he had exchanged the fanatic potion for a total of ninety-two Great Divine Graces and some witchcraft materials, which would be delivered soon.

Different from Rapids.

There are few top knights in small places, and even near the City of Death, there are not many people who are qualified to take the fanaticism potion to advance to the great knight.

Even if there is, it may not be enough to bring out the great grace of God.

The Dark Market is different. People who go there come from all over the world and their status is not low.

When it comes to potions that can help peak knights advance to great knights, they can afford the price.

"It's a pity that there is no way to achieve a long-term effect. There are drugs similar to the Zeal Potion in the market..."

"Ninety-two!"

"Not a few."

As for Aya's message, it is related to the Free Port.

"The Lord of the City of Death has killed the remnant of the evil god, and is now summoning troops from cities all over the country to clear out the mermaids."

“Hmm…”

Carl stroked his chin.

He was not very interested in cleaning up the mermaids, but there were a large number of great gods' grace in the City Lord's Mansion of Free Port.

"Without the remnant of the evil god, there will be no continuous birth of mermaids, and there will be no danger. This opportunity cannot be missed."

"Go back and prepare first."

…………

Dream Market.

Carl came to the Miaomiao House of the Eyeless again. This time, in addition to old Brin, there was also a handsome young man.

"guest."

When facing outsiders, Old Brin would not point out Carl's identity. He pointed at the boy and said, "This is the young master of the Walker family, Harvey!"

"The Walker family?" Karl's eyes moved slightly: "The Walker family, one of the managers of the market?"

"yes."

Young Harvey nodded and looked at him curiously: "Are you the legendary knight that Old Brin mentioned? How come I have never heard of anyone mentioning you?"

"I have been practicing hard and rarely show up." Carl casually said to the old Brin: "What does this mean?"

He was here to buy something from the other party, so why did a young man he didn't know come? This was also against the rules.

“Ahem!”

Old Brin coughed twice and explained, "Although Harvey was born into the Walker family, he does not have the talent of a wizard and chooses the path of a knight. So he asked me to find an experienced legendary knight to be his mentor."

"I think you're a good fit."

"Wait a minute!" Before Carl could speak, Harvey frowned and said, "Grandpa Brin, I asked you to help introduce someone because I trust you. Are you sure he is really suitable?"

Any famous legendary knight has been through many battles and naturally earned a resounding reputation.

It is possible for an unknown powerful wizard to exist, but it is almost impossible for an unknown legendary knight to exist. Carl is one of those unknown legendary knights.

"Sure."

Old Brin nodded. "The road of knighthood is not easy. I have met many people in the past hundred years. He is the most suitable person to be your mentor."

"All right!"

Harvey sighed and nodded:

"I believe you won't lie to me."

"Respected legendary knight, although I don't know your name, I hope to be your apprentice. This is a humble request from a newcomer on the road of knighthood."

He knelt on one knee, raised his hands high, holding a shiny arc-shaped amulet.

Carl knew this thing.

Curved Blade Amulet!

It can greatly increase the legendary knight's defense and reduce the damage of various natural witchcraft.

It is a magical weapon specially designed for legendary knights.

It is one level higher than the broken energy amulet in his hand, so theoretically there would be no problem using it in the late first stage.

Carl swallowed the rejection that was about to come out of his mouth.

"How's it going?" Old Brin chuckled, "I told you I could find what you want."

“Heh…” Karl shook his head speechlessly, looking at Harvey kneeling in front of him, and thought for a moment:

"You are very sincere."

He picked up the amulet, rubbed it in his hand for a while, and sighed helplessly:

"I really can't refuse. From now on, you can come to my place to attend classes every Saturday afternoon."

"but……"

"It's only three months. If you can't satisfy me after three months, then the course will end. During this period, you can also reject me, but the things you give me are not refundable."

"Three months?" Harvey frowned subconsciously, then relaxed: "Sure!"

"But I have a request. I hope to see your strength before the formal class."

As he said this, he stood up and drew the knight's sword from his waist.
