Experimental witchcraft: minor spell field, arcane missiles, fire seal, water control...

Test 2: Casting a spell with a staff.

Experimental Witchcraft: Same as above.

Experimental Witchcraft: Same as above.

Test 4...

Test 8

…

Summarize:

"The Water Staff obtained from Tim's trophy can increase the power of water magic by 7%, but has no bonus to other magic."

"Blue amber pendant, increases mental strength by 0.6."

"Adolf's magic wizard robe increases the power of elemental magic by 15% and the power of other magic by 8%."

"The power of the Water Staff and Magic Wizard Robe can be stacked, but it only increases the power of water magic by 20% at most."

"The influence of meditation on the power of witchcraft..."

Under the oil lamp.

Carl held a quill pen and wrote and drew on the parchment scroll. Sometimes he looked up to think, sometimes he wrote quickly. Soon he had filled the scroll with records.

wizard,

To some extent, they are actually scholars pursuing knowledge.

Various experiments, analyses, and data are inevitable and are essential skills. A wizard who does not know how to record and accumulate is not a good wizard.

"That is to say, my current mental power is 2.06, plus the 0.6 added by the blue amber pendant, the total mental power is 2.66, which is the basis for casting spells."

"The Clear Water Staff and the Magical Wizard Robe add up to a 20% increase. This way, the value of the spellcasting power is close to 3.2."

Carl paused slightly:

"The meditation method I practice belongs to the elemental water system of the natural school, and the power of water magic is increased by 50%."

"The value is ..."

“4.8!”

Carl stopped and looked surprised.

The value of 4.8 is no less than that of a senior wizard apprentice.

certainly,

Senior wizard apprentices also have their own methods. It is impossible for them to cast spells with basic mental power. They even have more and stronger methods to improve.

"No wonder a mid-level wizard apprentice with a legacy can fight against a great knight. This combination of numbers is truly terrifying."

"Even though the wizard apprentice's methods are limited, the numerical crushing is enough to offset other disadvantages."

His basic mental strength was only 2.06, but through superposition, it soared directly to 4.8, more than doubling.

The Knights don't.

The Giant Breathing Technique is already the top-notch technique bestowed by the gods. Even if it is used to enlarge the size of the secret technique, the increase in power is not that exaggerated.

Not even close!

Knights are proficient in using the power of their bodies, while wizards are better at using external objects to improve themselves.

"so……"

Carl put down his quill and tapped the table with his fingers:

"Put aside the Zero Ring Witchcraft Mage's Hand and Magic Sword Sparkle for now, and focus on practicing the Blue Wave Guardian for the time being."

"With the secondary magic force field, the blue wave protection, the armor Guna, the seal steel body, and the giant spirit breathing method that focuses on defense and martial arts protection ring..."

"Defense is fully activated. Even if a great knight attacks with all his strength, I'm afraid he won't be able to hurt me in a short period of time."

…………

Swamp Alliance.

Wizard apprentices walked on the street.

Tall wizard hats, colorful wizard robes, numerous magic wands, and shining auras, this kind of situation is simply impossible to see in Signo City.

The dazzling array of various strange and wonderful goods is really overwhelming.

Wizards from all over the country gathered here, which also created a prosperous wizard business in the Swamp Alliance.

"Magic staff sales! Magic staff sales! Natural school wooden staff wholesale, large quantity, preferential prices, suitable for beginners on the path of wizards, don't miss it if you pass by."

This is the staff stall.

"Magical cuisine, one bite will give you a sweet dream!"

"Do you want to become a high-ranking wizard? Do you want to explore the secrets of the astral world and visit various gods? Do you want to have a wonderful date with your ideal partner? Do you want to have an intense discussion about the differences between men and women with a group of beautiful women?"

"Come and have some magical cuisine. You can customize your own illusion and realize everything you want in your dream. Magical cuisine is the best choice for you after you are exhausted."

This is the Nightmare Wizard.

“…”

"Are you still worried about your height? Are you still worried about your poor figure? Are you still upset about some inconveniences that are not satisfactory?"

"Flesh transformation helps you!"

"Buying corpses, buying corpses in large quantities, buying fresh corpses at a high price, the corpses of knights and great knights are negotiable!"

"Magic items..."

Along the way, Karl was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and he couldn't help but stop wherever he went.

Only when the other party gave him an unfriendly look did he continue to move forward.

In addition to private stalls, the Swamp Alliance also has windows for selling various supplies to the outside world. The supplies are more abundant and the quality is relatively guaranteed, but the prices are slightly higher. Gold coins are not accepted, only magic stones and points distributed by the alliance are accepted.

There is a salesperson at each window, and each salesperson is responsible for selling different goods.

"Mr. Karl!"

A surprised voice sounded: "Is there anything you need?"

"..." Karl looked at the salesperson in front of him: "Do you know me?"

"Of course!" The salesperson nodded heavily:

"I watched the whole duel between you and Tim that day. My grandfather is the senior wizard apprentice Arthur."

"You can call me Bunyan."

Bunian is not very old and still has some youthful vigor. He greeted everyone warmly.

Arthur's grandson? He was working as a salesman here? After all, there were only a few people with wizarding talent. There were also many ordinary people in the Swamp Alliance who specialized in serving wizards.

"Bunian." Carl's eyes moved slightly: "Are you a knight?"

The other party did not have the mental fluctuations that a wizard apprentice should have, but instead had a strong breath of life.

"Yes." Bunian nodded, with a look of regret on his face: "I don't have the talent of a wizard, so I can only follow the path of a knight. You really made us knights proud that day."

As he said this, he waved his arms vigorously.

"That duel proved to the people here that it is possible for a knight to defeat a wizard's apprentice."

"Yes." Carl chuckled, "You became a knight at such a young age. You will definitely become a great knight in the future. There is no need to envy the wizard apprentice."

"Uh..." Bunian scratched his head:

"I hope so."

The reason why he was able to become a knight was all thanks to the resources provided by his grandfather, and he himself had no talent in this area.

The road of knighthood is too difficult.

He can't bear hardship.

What's more, knights focus on actual combat. If one only has the knighthood level but lacks fighting experience, his strength cannot be fully utilized.

Carl looked at Bunian with doubt in his eyes:

"Your nose..."

"oh!"

Bunian touched his tall nose and smiled:

"I've had a body modification."

"As you know, a good-looking and good-looking figure can easily win the favor of female wizard apprentices."

"I spent several magic stones on transforming my body, almost using up all my accumulated resources."

He said, shrugging.

It's obvious.

He not only had his nose done, but also had other parts of his body altered.

Judging from his appearance alone, Bunian is undoubtedly very "beautiful", with smooth skin, slender figure, and three-dimensional facial features. I believe he is very popular among women.

But in Carl's opinion, it seemed a bit 'fake'.

It's fine when you have a blank expression and stand still, but once you move, the modified parts will appear inconsistent.

This inconsistency may not be noticeable to others, but in the eyes of a knight and a blood wizard, it is obvious.

"Body modification..."

Since Robert was able to inherit the bloodline wizard's legacy, naturally others could also get it.

The Swamp Alliance has wizards from all over Gondor, so it is not surprising that some of them practice the path of bloodline wizards.

But so far.

There has not been any bloodline wizard apprentice in the Kingdom of Gondor who has advanced to become a wizard.

Not one!

"Why?" Bunian took the initiative to ask: "Are you also interested in body modification?"

"I can introduce you to the intermediate wizard apprentice Bach. I am his frequent customer. If you want to do body modification, mention my name and you will get a discount."

“Hmm…”

He pursed his lips and said, "You can also find Bach's mentor Jin, but he has a bad temper and his asking price is too high."

"Really?" Carl nodded. "I am indeed very interested in the witchcraft of the bloodline wizard. If I have the chance, I will definitely visit him."

"That's right."

"I want some equipment and materials for making potions."

As he spoke, he handed over the paper filled with the purchased items.

"OK."

Bunian took it and asked casually:

"I remember your mentor was a pharmacist. Isn't this part of his legacy?"

"Sorry, I'm a talkative person, you don't have to answer."

"It's okay." Carl shook his head gently, but he didn't mind:

"I have a senior sister. The inheritance is shared between us. Some equipment and materials are only available to the instructor."

"How much?"

"A total of two and a half magic stones." Bunian took out the things one by one and took the magic stones to put them into the account.

"That's right."

After thinking for a while, Carl asked:

"Are there any potions for increasing mental strength for sale here?"

"Yes." Bunian nodded:

"Vill's Potion, a potion developed by the great pharmacist Vill; Song of Heaven, a potion from the Holy See; Brilliant Potion, a potion especially suitable for nightmare wizards."

"There are three types in total, one magic stone equals five copies, but I recommend exchanging it with points, which is more appropriate."

"I don't have any points right now." Karl smiled and took out a magic stone: "First, five portions, two each of Weir Potion and Tiangang Song, and one portion of Brilliant Potion. I'll try the effect."

"Okay." Bunian nodded and turned to get the potion.

Seeing that Karl was about to leave, he said again:

"If you really want to transform your body, don't forget to ask me first. It can save you a lot of trouble."

"Oh……"

He smiled mysteriously, "We may not be able to defeat those female wizard apprentices in terms of strength, but we can make them surrender in bed."

?

Carl shook his head speechlessly.

It seems that this guy is not only a chatterbox, but also a pervert. It's true that one cannot judge a person by his appearance alone.

Fragments of the divine domain.

Carl held a dropper and dripped a drop of dark red blood into a container of blue liquid.

moment.

The liquid in the container changes.

The blue turned into yellow, and ripples appeared on the calm water.

"Bang!"

The container exploded, and countless fragments flew everywhere.

"really!"

Carl's eyes were filled with excitement:

"Water monkey blood can replace the main ingredient of the berserk potion, but it needs to be fresh blood."

* * * Freeport.

“Karl!”

Susan smiled:

"You came at the right time. I have always wanted to introduce you to Miss Lula, but unfortunately I never had the chance."

"They are all here today."

As he spoke, he extended his hand and said, "The daughter of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce's president, a top knight with outstanding swordsmanship, and also an experienced businessman."

"My friend and boss Lula!"

Carl looked sideways.

In the somewhat dazzling sunlight, a tall and graceful lady walked slowly towards him and nodded at him.

Lula!

Her hair is as golden as satin, her eyes are deep blue, and she has an innate nobility.

Although she is a woman, she dresses like a man, with a close-fitting knight outfit that highlights her body curves.

Explosive curves!

The rich breath of life shows that this lady’s strength is not only strong, but also terrifyingly strong.

His physique is probably already on the edge of becoming a great knight.

Carl subconsciously shrank his eyes.

Danger!

He hadn't sensed this kind of warning sign in a knight for a long time.

Even if it was a peak knight, it shouldn't pose much of a threat to him, let alone trigger any warning signs.

unless……

Dharma seal!

Lula has a special seal on her body, which gives her the power to kill the great knight.

This lady's radiance is so dazzling that even if there are a few people around her, they will subconsciously ignore her.

"Ms. Lula."

Carl Salutes:

"I've heard of your name for a long time. I didn't expect to see you here today. It's my honor."

"Haha..." Lunala laughed. Her voice was a little hoarse, which was completely different from her delicate features. "Come to think of it, it was me who set the conditions for you to join the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce. It's a pity that I never got to meet you in person."

“You’re always busy!”

As one of the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce, this was the first time she encountered a subordinate who had not come to pay a visit for several months after joining the chamber.

"..." Carl laughed dryly: "Some time ago, there were some things that needed to be dealt with. Now they have been dealt with. It won't be like this in the future."

"I hope so." Lula narrowed her eyes, "We were just talking about you. I wonder if Pharmacist Carl can increase the production of medicines in the next six months?"

“The Chamber of Commerce can raise the purchase price.”

"This..." Carl hesitated: "I wonder how much the production will increase?"

"30%!" Lula held up three fingers and said, "The Chamber of Commerce is planning to open a new sea route this year. We are currently short of various supplies, especially medicines."

"Purchase price..."

"Improve it by 10% on the original basis!"

Thirty percent?

Carl thought about it.

Aya has been the one doing most of the potion refining in the past few months. If he helps, it won't be difficult to increase the amount by 30%.

Moreover, Aya’s proficiency has also improved, and there is actually some vacancies in our own store, so it’s not a big problem.

He nodded immediately:

"no problem!"

"good!"

Lula clapped her hands and said, "Then it's settled. We'll start increasing production tomorrow. Susan, you'll be in charge of this."

Her style of doing things is vigorous and decisive.

"yes."

Susan should be.

"Oh right..." Lula tapped her forehead, then looked at Karl and asked,

"You must be here for something, right?"

"yes."

Carl nodded and said:

"I want to ask the Chamber of Commerce if they have any captured water monkeys. If they do, I want to buy a few."

"Water monkey?" Susan said with a smile, "It seems that the experiment you mentioned was successful, but unfortunately, the Chamber of Commerce currently has no water monkeys."

"No?" Carl frowned: "There should be some other places, right?"

"No one wants to mess with water monkeys." Lula took over the conversation, sat down and crossed her legs and said:

"We don't have any here, and the entire Freeport won't have any. If you're not in a hurry, just wait a few months."

"If a fleet passes by the water monkeys' stronghold, I will instruct them to try to catch a few."

"How many months?" Karl asked:

"Does it take so long?"

"Of course." Lula nodded. "How can a fleet return without making enough profit? Even if we are lucky, we will be out there for more than a month."

“Hmm…”

She thought for a moment and said:

"If you're willing to pay, you can ask them to take a detour and come back as soon as possible after catching the water monkey."

“But it will take several months!”

When a ship goes out to sea to hunt, the amount of material consumption with so many crew members on board is by no means a small amount.

A few months? Carl shook his head:

"Is there any other solution?"

"If you're willing to pay, you can send a boat out to sea to hunt water monkeys. A round trip..." Lula calculated:

"About 20,000 God's Grace Coins!"

"Last year, Poseidon made a special trip just for a coral. It was a small boat, and the price was the same."

Carl looked bitter.

He had saved a lot of money in the past few months, but he was not that wealthy. Twenty thousand Divine Grace Coins could buy a lot of seals.

"Actually..." Susan whispered:

"There are other ways."

"Oh!" Carl's eyes lit up: "What method?"

"There are some private ships in Freeport, and our Chamber of Commerce also has them. They have fewer people and are convenient for travel." Susan said:

"A few thousand God's Grace coins will allow them to go."

"Thousands?" Karl asked:

"I can accept that."

"If you're willing, I can help introduce them." Susan said, "But first, let me make it clear that they don't do things like we do, and there's a high chance that you'll waste your money and get nothing."

"It's okay." Carl: "Try it first!"

…………

Susan had a wide circle of friends, and it didn't take long for her to find someone to come over.

"Pharmacist Carl."

The blond man Connie is a captain with a legendary experience. His ship, the Windbreaker, is famous for its speed.

This is a man who is no longer young but still handsome.

"Catching water monkeys is a thankless job. I am confident that I can take it on, but it will cost 10,000 Divine Grace Coins."

He sat on the chair and said:

"If it's less, no deal!"

Karl opened his mouth and shook his head helplessly.

"Connie has a good reputation and his character is guaranteed...his business character." Susan whispered, "It's just a little expensive."

"Ten thousand God's Grace Coins..." Carl sighed, "I really can't take it out!"

He could also see the confidence in the other person, and this person might be a great knight.

No wonder he can do business in the territories of the three major forces.

"Although the deal didn't go through, I'm glad to meet Pharmacist Carl." Connie observed his expression and stood up. After shaking hands with Carl, he looked at the hostess of the shop next to him with a smile: "Susan, do you have time tonight?"

"No." Susan rolled her eyes.

"When can you clean up all the women around you, then come back to me."

"I have always been innocent." Connie spread his hands and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go to my room on the ship to check. I am always welcome."

"Shameless!" Susan snorted coldly: "Get lost!"

It can be seen that there was some kind of relationship between the two of them.

…………

“Carl.”

Susan extended her hand again and introduced:

"This is Blackbeard Gray and his deputy Charles. They are both experienced old sailors."

"They are two brave and skilled knights!"

"Gray has a ship that can go out to sea, and he often accepts quick missions from the Chamber of Commerce, so his reputation has always been good."

Gray had a thick beard, a true example of his Blackbeard, and was short and stocky, carrying an axe on his back.

Charles has triangular eyes, a hooked nose, and a gloomy face.

They are also members of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce, but they do not belong to Lola, the one behind Susan.

It was another vice president.

"Water monkeys are not easy to deal with."

Charles spoke first: "These things live in groups throughout their lives. They will get angry if you make the slightest noise. Once they surround them, even a big knight can be torn to pieces."

"good."

Gray nodded, his voice dull and muffled: "Besides, water monkeys live in the deep sea, and it would take several days to reach the closest distance. You still want to capture them alive."

“The task is too difficult!”

"Water monkeys are only difficult to deal with when they are enraged. Normally, they are only slightly stronger than ordinary monkeys. It is not difficult to deal with them with your strength." Carl said, " And there is no need to fight to the death. You can just knock a few of them out secretly, or stun them and bring them back."

“Hmm…”

He took out two bottles of medicine from his pocket and placed them on the table, saying:

"This potion can ensure that the water monkey will be unconscious for a few days, and we can complete the task once we arrive at the Freeport."

"It still doesn't work." Charles shook his head:

"It's easy for you to say. The sea is their world. If we fail, we won't even have a chance to escape."

"Yes, Captain!"

"Yeah." Gray nodded slowly.

"Four thousand God's Grace Coins, a maximum of fifteen days for a round trip, this reward is not cheap." Carl made a concession: "If you can arrive one day earlier, I am willing to pay an extra hundred God's Grace Coins."

"Besides..."

"If it wasn't difficult, I wouldn't have found you."

"This..." Gray hesitated, as if he was a little tempted.

"Head." Charles shook his head desperately:

"This time is different from before. We will die. Only 4,000 God's Grace Coins are too little."

"It's not impossible to accept the call, but you have to pay more!"

"Not bad." Gray licked the corner of his mouth and stretched out his big hand:

"Five thousand!"

"Mr. Carl, if you are willing to pay 5,000 God's Grace Coins, we will take on this task."

"Pay a deposit of 2,000 first, and the remaining 3,000 Divine Grace coins will be paid in exchange for the goods."

Charles nodded in agreement.

Five thousand?

Looking at the two of them, Karl's eyes flickered, and finally said:

"Can!"

"But I want to see a water monkey within half a month, or three portions of fresh blood from the water monkey's heart."

Before this, he had met several groups of crew members who came after hearing the news. There were not many of them who were truly capable, and five thousand Divine Grace Coins were not unacceptable.

After a brief thought, he agreed.

"No problem!" Gray stood up:

“I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.”
