The violent potion that entered his stomach was like a bomb, exploding inside his body and igniting his physical potential.

moment.

Carl felt like a switch in his body had been turned on, and his life force surged uncontrollably.

“Plop… plop…”

The heart beats vigorously, and streams of blood containing vitality are transformed and flow to every part of the body.

It was as if the internal organs had come alive, madly devouring everything.

Hungry! So hungry!

“Click!”

Carl opened the prepared wooden box, grabbed a handful of high-quality animal pills from it, and stuffed them into his mouth without even looking at them.

The medicinal power that usually needs to be slowly digested and absorbed bit by bit is now quickly refined by the body.

Feelings of anger and irritability surged in my heart, and I even had an urge to destroy everything.

No wonder it's called the Rage Potion.

at the same time.

After taking it, the vital energy becomes extremely high, and even some blood vessel endings are impacted and widened.

Explosive power, recovery...

At this moment, it skyrocketed! In just a few breaths, Carl had already entered the realm of a great knight.

At least at this moment, his strength is no less than that of the great knight.

But this is just the boost of the medicine. If the state cannot be stabilized, it will cause serious damage to the body.

"call……"

Carl exhaled a long breath and silently practiced the Giant Spirit Breathing Technique.

Being in the fragment of the divine realm, he has absolute control over his body.

"call……"

"suck……"

"call!"

Along with the orderly breathing, the restless drug power in the body began to calm down, and the violent vitality was also brought under control.

The broken limits and opened blocked blood vessels are also slowly beginning to adapt.

The mood also became stable.

“Plop!”

“Plop!”

The heart beats strongly.

It's like a high-pressure water pump, its pressure-bearing capacity becomes stronger and its conversion efficiency becomes more terrifying.

With every beat, a fresh breath of life emerges.

As this breath of life flows through the body along with the blood, changes will occur in various parts of the body.

Muscles become stronger, bones become firmer...

Body,

Like a new look, growing stronger.

Being a Knight means that the seed of life has condensed in the body, and being a Great Knight means that the seed of life has begun to take root and sprout.

It is no longer limited to the heart, but emerges in various organs, thereby promoting the overall evolution of the body.

Respiratory system, digestive system, immune system, nervous system...

They are all becoming stronger.

“Swish!”

Carl opened his eyes, and his pupils seemed to contain two rays of brilliance, illuminating everything around him.

The stable breath of life in the body proves that...

Done!

Great Knight! Perhaps it was because of the accumulation, or perhaps it was because of the mastery of the divine fragments over the physical body, this breakthrough was very smooth.

Just like a natural and smooth process.

In the following time, Carl adapted to the realm of the Great Knight while being busy refining potions and practicing meditation and breathing techniques.

Spend your free time learning witchcraft knowledge.

One month later.

“It’s finally stabilized.”

After feeling the breath in his body, Carl waved his hand and summoned the data panel.

Name: Carl

Constitution: 3.6 Mental strength: 2.4 Essence: 0 Occupation: Great Knight, Intermediate Wizard Apprentice

After advancing to the Great Knight, in just one month, his physical fitness climbed from less than three points to 3.6, and his mental strength also increased to a certain extent.

"A 3.6 physical fitness is not considered low for a Great Knight. After all, the Giant Spirit Breathing Technique has a high bonus to physical fitness."

Carl thought for a moment, "According to my previous estimate, the physical limit between a knight and a great knight should be around 3 o'clock."

"A 3.6 physique is considered average among great knights?"

"At worst, we are in the middle and lower ranks!"

"So……"

"Bang!"

His body shook, and he suddenly turned into a huge giant that was more than four meters and nearly five meters tall.

Secret Technique - Giantization! Physical Fitness: 4.8 Height: 4.8 meters.

With a height of nearly five meters, he is like a giant as tall as a two-story building. With a wave of his hand, he can create a hurricane out of the ground.

This change is not just an increase in value, but a strengthening in all aspects.

Even a great knight with a physical fitness of over 5 cannot confront a giant head-on, just like a leopard and an elephant. The leopard may have a higher muscle density, but the size difference between the two is too great.

…………

Hill house.

Several people sat around a long table covered with exquisitely embroidered cloth.

The table was laid with a variety of silverware and fine china, with a few flickering candles dotted around it, adding a soft atmosphere to the party.

For today's party, Sibel changed into a luxurious dress and put on light makeup.

After a few drinks, her cheeks were slightly flushed, revealing a rare bit of charm.

"Modili is already a senior wizard apprentice."

She murmured, her eyes blurred:

“How fast!”

"Yes." Lawson nodded. "I originally thought he would need two or three years to accumulate experience, but I didn't expect him to break through so quickly."

"Second-level wizard talent..."

“How enviable!”

"You're still envious." His sister Hetty rolled her eyes and placed a few plates of snacks on the table. "People like us with fourth-level wizard talents can only look up to him. We will never think of competing with him in this life."

“Carl.”

She greeted him warmly: "This is your first time visiting the Hillside Cottage. Don't be shy. How about trying some of the snacks I made?"

The aroma of cream mixed with grass stimulates the taste buds, and it is even more pleasing to the eye when dotted with a few slices of cut fruit.

Carl picked up a piece and tasted it, nodding with satisfaction: "Not bad!"

"I didn't expect Heidi to be such a skilled baker. I have to come visit more often in the future, otherwise I won't be able to taste this delicacy."

"Hehe..." Heidi's eyes curved with praise and she smiled, "As long as you like it, you're welcome to come often."

“Eat more!”

Seemingly not liking the enthusiasm between the two, Xibeier curled his lips subconsciously and changed the subject:

"Have you heard that Cologne has captured several cities in Gangdo? The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for Gangdo."

"It is said that..."

"The Black Swamp will also be affected. Will we also have to fight against the wizards of Cologne then?"

"Sibel, your news is behind schedule." Lawson smiled and shook his head:

"Just a few days ago, the Cologne front was defeated, and two legendary knights were surrounded and killed by the army on the battlefield."

"I'm afraid there won't be any more attacks in the short term."

"How could it be?" Xibel was surprised. "Is there such a capable and skilled general in the Kingdom of Gondor?"

Carl also looked up with surprise in his eyes. After all, the corruption of the upper class of the Gondor Kingdom was well known to everyone.

Several archdukes were dead or injured, and the number of legendary knights was drastically reduced. In this situation, is there anyone who can turn the tide? "It's not Gangdo's people." Lawson shook his head: "It's not from the Sark Kingdom, it's Tucker."

"Thunder Spear Tucker, the black armored army he led suddenly counterattacked, causing a great defeat for Cologne's side."

"Huh?" Sibel was stunned: "Isn't he the vanguard general of Cologne?"

"Yes." Lawson said:

"That was in the past. He is now the husband of Duna, the daughter of the Sark Kingdom, and has been promoted to a legendary knight."

Huh? Sibel blinked.

Carl also looked surprised.

"Heh..." Sibel quickly came back to his senses and sneered, "So, this time he betrayed Cologne, defected to Sack again, and plotted to kill two legendary knights of Cologne."

"That's right." Lawson nodded. "Because of this contribution, Tucker was awarded the title of Marquis of the Sack Kingdom and was exempted from the wanted list."

“Hmm…”

"I heard that he killed two legendary knights head-on on the battlefield. He must be very powerful."

Legendary knight!

Often listed alongside official wizards.

certainly.

Just like a great knight is no match for a high-level wizard apprentice, a legendary knight is generally no match for a wizard.

"look!"

Sibel glanced at Carl:

"I said that if enough benefits were given, this Thunder Spear would even betray God."

"Marquis..."

"It seems that the Sark Kingdom doesn't like him either."

He killed two legendary local knights at once and married the princess. Logically, he should be made a duke.

He was conferred the title of Marquis . Apparently, the people of the Sack Kingdom also despised the character of Thunder Spear Tucker.

"This matter has nothing to do with us."

Hetty waved:

"Why talk about it?"

Like a normal woman, Hetty doesn't like politics and has no interest in the situation on the front lines where several countries are at war.

As long as the call doesn't come to my doorstep, I will ignore it.

“That’s right!”

She looked sideways and asked:

"Karl, you don't need to use the gold coins in your hand urgently, right?"

"Gold coins?" Carl nodded: "I can't use them for the time being."

In the Swamp Alliance, transactions were mainly conducted with points and magic stones. He lived a reclusive life and rarely used gold coins.

"How about lending it to me?" Hetty's eyes sparkled, and she said, "I plan to do some investment business. I'll give you 20% interest every year, and you'll pay me back in one lump sum at the end of the year."

"If you still invest, you can roll the interest."

Twenty percent?

If you borrow one hundred and pay back twelve hundred, and the interest is compounded, the interest rate is not low.

"Hetty."

Sibel held Carl's arm to stop him from responding and asked:

"What are you going to do?"

"This..." Hetty's eyes flickered: "Some things are not convenient to talk about."

"Are you buying real estate?" Xibeier said with a smile:

"As the number of wizard apprentices in the Swamp Alliance increases, the land outside will become more and more valuable."

"Now is indeed the best time to take action."

Carl suddenly realized.

The Black Swamp used to be a desolate place, a forbidden zone for humans, with no human habitation within dozens of miles of its edge.

It's different now.

Although most wizards live in seclusion, it is impossible for them to completely separate themselves from ordinary people and become true hermits.

All kinds of materials and food come from human society.

Just like Adolf.

He was no longer concerned about external things, and the manor still had many servants and knight guards.

Other wizard apprentices are surrounded by more ordinary people.

These people could not live in the Black Swamp for long, so they built a settlement outside, which grew larger and larger.

I heard,

There has been talk of turning the settlement into a city.

If this is true, then buying land now is undoubtedly a profitable business.

Moreover, because it is located in the Black Swamp, supplies are scarce and prices are very high, almost ten times that of Signo City.

For example, the snacks on the table are worth several gold coins.

“That’s right!”

After being exposed by Sibel, Heidi could only shrug:

"Would you like to do it together?"

She only has the fourth-level wizard talent and has given up on making any progress on the wizard path.

Turn to studying food and how to make money.

"Together?"

Xibel looked thoughtful.

She had this idea, but she didn't have the time. Although Karl's talent was not high, he didn't intend to give up his practice.

"I have a question." Carl raised his hand: "How do I exchange gold coins for magic stones?"

"There is no special exchange channel for gold coins and magic stones. The market price fluctuates greatly. Currently, more than 200 gold coins can be exchanged for one magic stone." Heidi knew this very well and said, "Don't underestimate ordinary people, especially some knights and great knights. They also have a lot of magic stones."

“Hmm…”

"If you don't have time, you can invest in the land speculation, and I will charge a certain fee."

Invest?

Carl was somewhat tempted.

His cultivation now relies entirely on drugs. The magic stones left by Adolf are not enough for him to spend, and he is in urgent need of a way to make money.

* * * In another world, free port.

Like the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce, the Scythe Brotherhood also has a cargo yard specifically for storing marine goods.

"Mr. Karl, this way please!"

Jacqueline, a burly woman with scars on her face, led the way.

Although Carl failed to join the Scythe Brotherhood as he wished, the connection between the two was not broken.

Still maintaining a good relationship.

"No matter what kind of legendary creature it is, it is very difficult to hunt. Even large caravans will not take the initiative to provoke them."

"This is a rare opportunity. I encountered a transformed snake."

Jacqueline pushed open a wooden door and extended her hand to lead the way inside: "Please look."

This is a spacious courtyard. There is nothing else in the courtyard except a big snake.

The snake's body is as thick as two people can hug, and about thirty to forty meters long. Even when the body is coiled, it occupies an entire courtyard.

It was like a mountain! Although it had no life, it still gave people a suffocating feeling of oppression.

"Transformed into a snake?"

Carl's eyes flickered, and he stepped closer: "Is it the giant sea snake that can petrify people?"

"Yes." Jacqueline introduced: "The young snakes are five to ten meters long. This snake is obviously an adult. Legend has it that they still have the blood of ancient flying dragons in their bodies. When they evolve to a certain level, they can grow wings and break free from the constraints of the Endless Sea."

Carl nodded slowly.

The body of the transformed snake is as hard as stone, its skin is yellowish brown, and if you look closely it looks like large pieces of fish scales covering its entire body.

"This thing is terrifying!"

Jacqueline recorded the lingering fear: "Its eyes can emit a light that can petrify metal, and a single glance can kill a whole ship's worth of people."

"There is a kind of mist surrounding the body, and any living thing that comes close will be slowly petrified."

"Its skin is so tough that it is not afraid of swords. Even a great knight can't withstand a few blows from it. A legendary knight is no match for it in a head-on fight."

"Oh!" Carl was surprised. "How did you manage to defeat him?"

"Hehe..." Jacqueline scratched her head and chuckled:

"This thing has a fatal weakness, which is that it is afraid of mirrors. Mirrors can reflect the light from its eyes. As long as we seize the opportunity, even a boat full of ordinary people can have a chance to take it down."

Is this possible?

Carl raised his eyebrows and reached out to stroke the snake's body.

Analysis! Instantly, the complex muscle texture and bone shape came into his perception, and his breathing became rapid.

Legendary creature!

A truly extraordinary creature! Unlike other magical creatures, every part of this transformed snake's body contains mysteries.

The whole forms a special perfect cycle in itself.

If he could analyze this corpse and then transform himself, Carl would be able to become a first-ring bloodline wizard.

In the Kingdom of Gondor, even an official wizard might never see a legendary creature in his entire life.

Not to mention owning.

And here!

Every year, legendary creatures are captured. If you can analyze one, you can become an official wizard.

With such unique conditions, it would be unjust not to follow the path of a bloodline wizard.

You know.

The only difficulty for a bloodline wizard is analyzing legendary creatures. If the conditions are met, the chance of a breakthrough is extremely high.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Karl asked slowly, "How much?"

"Not cheap." Jacqueline smiled. "As for the eyes, each is 50,000 Divine Grace Coins, each meter of the snake body is 2,000 Divine Grace Coins, each section of the bones is 1,000 Divine Grace Coins, each piece of snake scales is 300 Divine Grace Coins, and each liter of snake blood is 200 Divine Grace Coins."

"If you buy the whole thing, you can get a discount of 250,000 Divine Grace Coins!"

?

"How many?"

"Two hundred and fifty thousand God's Grace Coins!"

“…”

Carl sighed and slowly withdrew his hand.

Not to mention 250,000 Divine Grace Coins, even 25,000 Divine Grace Coins would empty his pockets.

Fortunately, there is no rush.

He is still far from the time when he can become a formal wizard, so he does not need to buy a complete legendary creature.

"Give me one of each except Snake Eyes."

"good!"

Jacqueline nodded.

…………

Fragments of the divine domain.

A huge jade disk stood in the middle, surrounded by snake meat, snake bones, snake scales and snake blood.

Carl held the dissecting tools and used witchcraft to analyze the snake's body.

Snake, reptile.

The body is divided into three parts: head, torso and tail.

The mouth can be opened wide, the tongue is forked and highly flexible, and it can achieve rapid movement through abdominal muscle contraction and bending.

There are bones such as squamosal bones, pterygoid bones, palatine bones, transverse bones, etc.

"Skin, bones, muscles, breathing, digestion, circulation, nerves..., not much different from ordinary snakes, but if you only look at the strength, they are almost not the same species."

Carl put down the dissecting tools, turned around and wrote and drew on the jade disk, writing down the analysis content one by one.

"The metamorphosis snake has the ability to turn everything into stone. This function is similar to that of a venomous snake. A venomous snake has a venom sac that secretes venom. The metamorphosis snake also has a venom sac in its body, but it secretes a mist that can turn people into stone and last for a long time."

"Physical strength is related to extraordinary qualities..."

"Petrified!"

"Similar to the fossil witchcraft model of the gargoyle, it is much easier to deduce and analyze."

If you want to be a qualified blood wizard, you must be familiar with the structure of various creatures.

The process of analysis and experimentation is even more indispensable.

The reason why Roberta was able to initially cultivate into a gargoyle was because she had a lot of experience in cultivating spider girls.

certainly.

Even more lives have been lost at his hands!

“Buzz…”

The jade disk glowed slightly, and Carl stopped what he was doing and looked at the spell model that appeared on it.

Or,

Spell model fragments!

In order to fully analyze the snake, a complete body must be available, and various experiments must be conducted.

Now, these are just to accumulate experience, and you will be able to get started quickly when the time comes.

“No rush!”

Carl whispered:

"Even with potions to assist in training, it would take a year or two to reach the level of a high-level wizard apprentice, let alone reach the perfect state?"

"It will be impossible without three to five years, or even ten years."

"During this period, we should accumulate experience and save up God's Grace Coins. Then we will have enough spiritual power and money."

“Just in time to break through!”

…………

"when!"

"Bang..."

Carl was shirtless, holding a huge hammer in his hand, swinging his arm and smashing it hard on the iron plate in front of him.

"when……"

Sparks flew.

"laugh!"

The red-hot steel sank into the water, and thick white smoke immediately emerged, covering Carl's red skin.

I don’t know how much time passed.

Carl threw the sword blank that had been hammered to a certain degree at his feet, picked up the kettle beside him and drank it down.

“Gulp gulp…”

A large pot of water was drunk in the blink of an eye.

"Cool!"

After walking out of the fragment of the divine domain and going downstairs, Xibel was sitting with his legs crossed and sipping tea.

Looking at Carl's shirtless body, her eyes lit up at the strong muscle outlines and she licked her lips: "Knights are actually quite useful. At least they have good bodies."

“Did you bring the things?” Karl ignored her teasing and took a robe and put it on.

"I brought them." Xibei pointed to the backpack beside him, which was filled with various medicines, and asked curiously, "What do you want these medicines for?"

These potions are ordinary potions and are of little use to a wizard apprentice.

"I have my uses." Carl picked up the backpack and checked the bottles one by one, with a satisfied look on his face:

"Yes, they all meet the requirements."

He has been too busy recently, with breathing techniques, meditation, refining equipment, analyzing snakes... and he doesn't have enough time to make potions.

Just outsource it to the other party.

"Of course." Sibel said confidently, "My talent for potions has been praised by my instructors. If you want to do ordinary people's potion business, you can find an agent."

"Old Harry is good!"

Wizards have all kinds of mysterious methods and can refine many things that seem incredible to ordinary people.

To trade these things, you need corresponding merchants.

Wizards usually don't show up in person, firstly because their time is precious, and secondly because they think it is shameful.

Agents came into being.

"I'll think about it." Carl nodded: "Wait a moment."

Turning around, he returned to the room, took something out, and handed it to Xibel: "Here!"

"The Fossil Ring can emit a petrifying light with a power similar to that of an intermediate wizard apprentice. However, it can only be used ten times before it becomes useless. This is the payment for one month's potion."

“I can’t believe it…” Sibel took it with a surprised look on his face, and gently stroked the ring on his hand: “You really have become an alchemist!”

Alchemist,

A wizard who is good at refining various magical items.

When Carl was reading about refining equipment in the past, Sibel criticized him for being too distracted. He never thought that the other party could now refine magical items.

"that……"

Licking his lips, Xibel said slowly:

"I heard you've been using magic stones to buy potions?"

"Yes." Carl sighed, "The potion is too expensive. Without it, my training will be too slow. The legacy left by my mentor is not much."

"In fact, it's not cost-effective to use magic stones to buy potions." Xibeier said, "I have points, and it's more cost-effective to exchange points for potions. Give me the magic stones and I'll help you exchange for potions."

“Hmm…”

"If you don't have enough magic stones, you can use magic items!"

There is an alchemist wizard around her, and she doesn't mind being a second-hand middleman and making a profit from the difference.

"Well..." Karl held his chin with his hand: "I'll think about it, it's not impossible!"

However, there were some things on him that he could not show to the public, so after sending Xibel away, he still had to go there in person.

Please add to collection!!! (End of this chapter)
