knight,
The existence of ordinary people after their life leap.
Once you become a knight, you will be completely free from common diseases and your life span will be extended to a certain extent.
It is rare to see people over fifty years old in Signo City, and those who do are aristocrats and wealthy businessmen who are good at taking care of themselves.
It is difficult for ordinary people to live a long life.
Especially in an era of shortage of medical care and medicine, a cold or an infection could easily cost a person's life.
As for knights, unless they died in battle, they could basically live to be over eighty years old, which was equivalent to several decades longer than ordinary people.
If you want to become a knight, life potions are essential.
It is extremely difficult to obtain life potions in Signo City. Not only does it require strength but also a certain background. It is unknown how long it will take for a single person to find a way.
Carl doesn't see hope yet.
Now……
Just kill the ferocious beast.
If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools.
It is especially important to ensure your own safety even when hunting vicious beasts or half-dead creatures.
Carl came to the church early in the morning and took out ten gold pounds to offer to the Lord of the Dawn as a sign of his piety.
The reason why gold coins were not used was that ten gold pounds looked heavier and more eye-catching than one gold coin.
"Lord of the Dawn..."
He said with a sad face: "Father Vick, a friend of mine was unfortunately infected with evil spirits when he passed through a swamp. He is now bedridden. I heard that holy water can give God's blessing and remove the evil spirits from his body."
"The merciful Lord of the Morning would certainly not bear to see his loyal believers die in the midst of suffering."
"Dear Baron Karl." Father Vick's face was full of compassion: "God loves the world!"
"I certainly can't bear to see believers being tortured, but there are always fake believers who come to cheat God's blessing. God can distinguish the true from the false, but I don't have this ability."
So, how do you prove that your friend is not a fake believer? "..." Carl opened his mouth and said helplessly: "My friend's piety to the Lord of Dawn is beyond doubt. He is willing to donate a gold coin to improve the environment of the church."
"A gold coin?"
Hearing this, a smile appeared in Father Vic's eyes. He picked up the wooden spoon for serving rice and came to the statue.
There is a water tank about one meter square in front of the statue.
He scooped up a spoonful of water.
“This is God’s blessing!”
Carl blinked. He learned from Sibel that the holy water of the Vatican could dispel evil spirits and was even more effective against half-dead creatures, ghosts and undead spirits.
But I didn't expect that the so-called holy water was just this water tank. Wouldn't it be possible to have as much as you want if you wanted it so casually? Of course.
He did not doubt what Sibel said.
"Father."
Looking at the wooden spoon that was not even as big as a mouthful, Carl said slowly, "My friend can offer ten gold coins."
"Ten?" Father Vic's eyes lit up, and he picked up a large bowl from the side and gestured: "This is also a blessing from God."
Carl rolled his eyes. Your God is so realistic! * * * With the Raqqa Market as the center, several nearby blocks were all protected by the city guards.
You will feel safe and worry-free when you are in it.
But if you want to get in, you must pay a certain amount of black stone, or have proof of killing a ferocious beast or half-dead creature.
Aya found a temporary base nearby.
Because they couldn't buy wisteria grass, Xiaonan's condition became worse and worse. He had already shown initial signs of abnormality. If he wasn't treated, there was no way he could be saved.
"Come."
Karl helped Xiaonan up and gave him some holy water:
"Swallow carefully."
“Gurgle…”
Xiaonan's throat rolled and he instinctively swallowed the holy water. After just a few moments of swallowing the holy water, his complexion improved.
There is a way!
Carl felt relieved. It seemed that holy water worked in any world.
"Very good."
Aya was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes:
"Xiao Nan is fine!"
"Um."
Carl nodded:
"It's all right for now, let's talk about cooperation next."
"Uncle, just you say it, we will follow your arrangements." Aya waved her hands hurriedly.
"That won't work." Carl shook his head. "You have six people and need to bear most of the risks. You must be compensated sufficiently."
The people in the room are the core of Aya's team.
Each of them has lived in the Black City for several years. Although they may not be strong, they all have their own ways to protect their lives and should not be underestimated.
"so."
Carl said, "As long as I participate in the operation, I will get 40% of the profits and you will get 60%. You can discuss it among yourselves when I'm not around."
"how?"
Aya's eyes flickered.
The others looked at each other and saw each other's intention.
"Can!"
After several people discussed quietly, Aya nodded and said:
"When do you plan to start?"
“No hurry.”
Carl waved his hand:
"The situation in the city is still unclear. If you rush in rashly, you may run into danger. Let others explore the way first."
Those who don’t have enough food stored will definitely not be able to survive.
"in addition……"
Carl looked at Aya:
"At this time, all kinds of weapons and armor, anything that can increase your strength will increase in price."
"Are you asking how much exotic beast meat my seal can be exchanged for?"
"Um."
Aya nodded heavily.
"Be careful when talking, lest someone becomes desperate and do something stupid." Carl instructed again.
In order to prevent people from paying without doing their part, the city guards have banned private transactions during this period. Once discovered, they will be severely punished and the informants will be generously rewarded.
certainly.
This kind of thing will decrease, but it will never be completely eliminated.
The next day.
Aya brought the news, and the reply was so quick because things that increase strength are indeed in short supply now.
"High-grade exotic beast meat is extremely rare. Even the city guards don't have much. The other party can only offer two portions at most."
"Add twenty portions of common exotic beast meat."
"Two?" Carl's eyes moved slightly.
Before, there was only one portion, and there was no room for negotiation. However, the quantity of ordinary exotic beast meat was easier to negotiate.
"Promise them!"
Karl said, "Is the deal okay?"
"Absolutely no problem." Aya promised:
"This is the channel introduced by Old Lev. If anything goes wrong, he can use his own seal to offset it."
The seal has a shelf life, and the two parties reached a deal that afternoon, and Carl received a box of exotic beast meat.
As for hunting ferocious beasts...
He is still not in a hurry.
A few more days passed.
Name: Carl (Lord of the Divine Domain Fragment)
Constitution: 0.89 Mental strength: 1.51 Source: 0 Occupation: Knight squire, junior wizard apprentice
The effect of high-grade exotic beast meat was extremely amazing. Just by taking one serving, Carl's physical condition improved dramatically in a short period of time.
Reaching the 0.9 peak knight squire stage is just around the corner.
Mental strength is also increasing steadily.
By this time, the situation in the city had gradually become clear. Under the leadership of the city guards, the people in the city began to counterattack, and the generous rewards aroused everyone's enthusiasm.
The ferocious beasts and half-dead creatures near the Laka Market were all cleared out.
"I heard that the city lord bought a large number of slaves outside and is taking them to Black City to fill the vacancies of the miners."
"In addition, we have hired mercenaries to strangle the beast."
Aya said, "Once they arrive, it won't be that easy to hunt the beasts, and the exchange price will also increase."
"Um."
Karl was squatting opposite and looked up when he heard this:
"It's time for us to move, too."
