Zimmerman was infected with water plague? Carl stroked his chin, thinking.

Although Susan and others were trying to hide the truth, the identity of the patient on the bed could be roughly guessed.

but,

No knight in Freeport has ever been infected with water plague, let alone a top-level knight.

And Zimmerman's situation is unique.

So special that Carl has never seen it before!

If the patient was really Zimmerman, then once he died, the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce would surely be in chaos.

Dragon King Chamber of Commerce!

Dragon King Zimerman!

The fact that the Chamber of Commerce is named after him shows how important Zimmerman is to the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce.

'Lula is too young to handle the situation, and her mother is too eccentric to win the support of the public.'

'The two vice presidents are even more ambitious.'

'There is also the Poseidon Society and the Scythe Brotherhood. They can't just sit there and watch the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce regroup.'

"Once the news leaks out..."

Carl shook his head slightly. No wonder there were always people watching his yard. It was because they were worried that Zimmerman's situation would be leaked out from his mouth.

"laugh……"

When the red-hot iron plate was put into the water, thick smoke billowed out instantly.

"bite!"

"when……"

Carl took out the iron plate, swung the sledgehammer and smashed it, and gradually a brand new sword blank emerged.

He planned to make himself another broadsword.

Dual swords,

Now it has become more and more smooth, and the recently acquired witchcraft materials can be integrated into it.

Swamp Alliance.

station.

Carl followed Bunian and headed towards a dense forest.

There is a special kind of tung tree growing in this dense forest. This tree grows very fast and is so thick that several people can hug it.

Thanks to the wizard's spell, these trees became incredibly wide, like high walls.

Some wizards dug rooms out of paulownia trees and lived in them.

Firstly, it is close to the base and convenient for travel.

Secondly,

The giant tung tree can be used to set up many witchcraft traps through spellcasting, which also ensures safety.

Arthur, a senior wizard apprentice, lives here.

Deep in the dense forest, there are several giant tung trees close to each other, and interconnected rooms have been carved out of them.

In the center of the area surrounded by trees, there is a large yard.

At this time, many people had come to the courtyard. Carl looked around and sat down next to the blood wizard Bach.

“Carl.”

Bach sat upright and nodded, "I haven't seen you for a while."

"I've been studying the Gamp Transfiguration you gave me, and doing some blood research." Carl rubbed his temple, looking haggard. "The path of a blood wizard is not easy."

"Of course." Bach shrugged:

"Our path is too dependent on magical creatures and witchcraft materials. Some experiments must be done by ourselves, and magical creatures are too rare. If there are not enough magic stones, this is a dead end."

"Oh……"

"Other wizards have many senior wizard apprentices. How many senior wizard apprentices of bloodline wizards have you seen?"

Carl nodded slowly.

"Speaking of experiments, I have some questions."

He lowered his voice and discussed the knowledge of bloodline wizards with Bach.

Bach initially intended to just do it casually, after all, truly useful knowledge requires payment.

The other party had only recently started to learn the path of bloodline wizard and theoretically was not qualified to communicate with him.

Never thought.

He was deeply touched by the knowledge that Carl possessed, and before they knew it, their discussions became more and more in-depth.

Until...

"when!"

A clear, transparent ringtone rang out.

Arthur, a senior wizard apprentice wearing a wizard robe and with a wrinkled face, walked slowly out of the room.

He nodded to everyone in the room and forced a smile on his face, "Excuse me for waiting, everyone. I have sorted out my things. Now we will officially start the auction."

“Hmm…”

"A few things will be traded privately, please bear with me."

"Senior Arthur." Someone in the crowd spoke up, "Did you really fail to break through?"

"...Yes." Arthur nodded with a bitter look on his face.

"Becoming a formal wizard is far from as simple as imagined. No wonder some of my friends lost their lives because of it."

"I'm fine, at least I'm still alive."

Carl sat upright.

Not long ago, Arthur used points to exchange for a Green Potion from the Alliance in an attempt to break through.

Many people are waiting for the results.

pity.

Breakthrough failed.

Arthur, a senior wizard apprentice, was seriously injured and his mind was unstable. If he was not properly treated, the consequences would be unpredictable.

The medicines needed for conditioning were expensive, so Arthur simply held an auction to sell his things.

Everyone present came here upon hearing the news.

"Here's a piece of advice for you all."

Arthur said, "If you want to become a formal wizard, the chances of success are very low with Green Potion alone."

"There are too many beings in the astral world that will pollute our spirituality. It would be best to have a Silence Potion to assist us."

The silencing potion can conceal the spirituality of a living being and prevent its own spirituality from being polluted, but it is very expensive.

The point is, the effect is said to be not that good.

"I don't know how long it will take to accumulate the Green Potion, and with the addition of a Silence Potion..." Someone sighed: "I'm afraid there's no hope in this lifetime!"

"You are lucky. You have the opportunity to reach the level of a formal wizard. People like us with low talents can't even think about it."

“Sometimes it’s easier not to have opportunities.”

"yes!"

“…”

Everyone in the field sighed with emotion.

Since the establishment of the Swamp Alliance, four high-level wizard apprentices have attempted to reach the formal wizard realm.

pity.

None of them succeeded! Adolf, who had the most hope, not only failed, but his head exploded and he died on the spot.

The chance of success is too small!

"alright."

Arthur rang the bell again and asked Bunian to take out a few books and put them on the wooden stake in the middle, and introduced them:

"The witchcraft I practice comes from the wizard Donner hundreds of years ago, majoring in gravity and life..."

"Also for making medicine."

"These books involve basic knowledge of gravity. Among them, 'Secrets of the Stars' was written by Wizard Donald himself. Apart from the mystical knowledge contained in it, it has a certain value just as a collection."

"The starting price is five magic stones!"

Gravity witchcraft does not belong to the natural school, but to the star school, but it is very different from stargazing and divination.

This line of witchcraft focuses on control and usually lacks lethality, so wizards in this line will also practice other witchcraft.

"Five and a half magic stones!"

"Six magic stones!"

“…”

After all, it was occult knowledge written by a formal wizard himself, and the bid quickly reached ten magic stones.

But going further up, it will be difficult to increase the price.

In the end, the transaction was completed at a price of eleven and a half magic stones.

"Zero-ring witchcraft - Blood Summoning, life-related witchcraft, can control the opponent's blood flow, and has complete control over beings below the knight level. Even a junior wizard apprentice can easily kill several top knight squires."

"The starting price is three magic stones."

Carl's eyes moved slightly.

Three magic stones are not expensive at all, but this witchcraft is useless for knights or great knights with strong physiques.

Or not very useful.

Moreover, many wizard apprentices have mastered this witchcraft, so there is no need to compete with others for it here.

final.

The deal was completed at the price of five magic stones.

Witchcraft is something that can be copied infinitely, so unless it is a complete inheritance, it is difficult to sell it at a high price.

Enchanted items are different.

…

Time passes.

Items were auctioned off one after another.

Knowledge, books, materials, potions, enchanted items, and witchcraft heritage often cause unrest.

Every senior wizard apprentice has accumulated a lot of knowledge and wealth, especially wizard apprentices like Arthur who are in their seventies or eighties. Their accumulation is far beyond that of young apprentices.

Carl also obtained two potion formulas, one for the "Stronger Decoction" that increases skin resistance, and the other for the "Cold-Resistant Meat" that allows people to withstand severe cold.

The total price is six magic stones.

The main reason was that there were not many pharmacists participating in the auction, and even fewer were willing to pay for the formula, so few people competed with him for it.

"Mr. Karl."

When the auction was about to end, Bunian came up to him and whispered, "Wait a moment, please don't leave for now."

Carl nodded.

…………

The oil lamps in the wooden house were lit, the light was flickering, and the simple decoration made the room, which was neither too big nor too small, very cozy.

Arthur, leaning on a crutch, sat up unsteadily with the help of Bunyan, a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

"Mr. Karl."

He took a long breath and said slowly:

"Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's okay." Carl said, "Senior Arthur, you don't look very well."

It was just an auction, but the other party looked obviously tired, as if he had done strenuous exercise.

"More than bad." Arthur smiled bitterly, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, but he shook his head and said nothing more, and turned to say:

"I am friends with Adolf, and you are friends with Bunian, so I might as well sell you some things."

"It's better than outsiders."

Carl's face straightened.

He came here for this purpose, but no matter what the other party said, the main thing would depend on the final selling price.

As the heir to Adolf's legacy, pharmacist and alchemist, Carl also has some assets.

This is the key to being left alone in the end.

"I have two kinds of inheritance, one is the gravity explosion of the gravity system, and the other is the life plunder of the life system."

Arthur said, "I have promised to give Life Plunder to an old friend, and Gravity Explosion cannot be passed on to you in its entirety."

Carl's expression remained unchanged.

It is customary not to pass on this kind of fundamental heritage to outsiders, otherwise it would fetch a better price at auction.

He had no extravagant hopes.

Besides,

He had accumulated some magic stones, but he was still unable to buy a complete inheritance.

"Zero Ring Witchcraft - Gravitational Distortion, priced at six magic stones; Magic Item - Meteorite Ball, which has the power to control gravity. The stronger the mental power, the greater the range of influence. priced at twenty magic stones."

Arthur said, "Twenty-six magic stones in total, no bargaining!"

As he spoke, he placed a book and a gray stone on the table and motioned for Carl to check them.

Twenty-six magic stones?

Carl's eyes flashed, and he picked up the stone on the table and took a look. It was a magical meteorite that was blessed with witchcraft.

The grade is very high.

At least he can't refine it now.

Once activated, it can change the magnitude of gravity around the body, and can increase or decrease gravity by half.

It is more powerful when combined with a secondary spell field.

As for gravitational distortion, it is a kind of gravity-related witchcraft that can suck distant objects to the surrounding or repel nearby objects.

If used properly, it can produce unexpected effects.

After a moment.

Karl twitched his lips in pain:

“I bought it!”

Arthur smiled.

"Senior." When taking out the magic stone for the transaction, Carl asked casually:

"You have seen many patients. Have you ever encountered a situation where there is a strange thought in the patient's body that distorts the patient's body and will, and may even contaminate those who come into contact with him?"

This is the symptom of Dragon King Zimerman's body.

"Yes." Arthur nodded. "This situation is usually caused by the evil god polluting the soul. Unless the gods purify it, there is no hope."

"Evil God?" Carl had only asked casually, not expecting an answer. He was stunned when he heard the words: "Can't a wizard do it?"

"Perhaps a great wizard above the third ring can do it, but a second ring wizard certainly can't do it." Arthur shook his head and asked:

"Have you encountered followers of the evil god?"

"If someone is targeted by an evil god, there is no hope for him. No god is willing to save his followers."

I see!

Carl nodded slowly.

Is there an evil god in another world? * * * Name: Carl

Physical fitness: 3.8 Mental strength: 2.7 Essence: 0 Occupation: Great Knight, Intermediate Wizard Apprentice

"Bang!"

The two broadswords crossed in the air, and as the fighting spirit surged, the air in front suddenly vibrated rapidly.

"boom!"

Even if there was a huge rock blocking his way, it would be smashed into pieces by this blow.

Carl held a broadsword in each hand, and the sword weighing dozens of pounds swung in his hands like straw.

His extreme speed makes the strong winds around him have terrifying killing power.

Secret Technique - Giantization! With a flick of his body, Carl's size suddenly increased, and in an instant he turned into a burly giant five meters tall.

at the same time.

“Buzz…”

The two broadswords in his hands also grew larger, becoming giant swords more than three meters long, as big as door panels.

With a gentle wave, a hurricane roars.

The broadsword not only becomes a giant sword, but its weight also increases from dozens of kilograms to hundreds of kilograms.

The twin swords weigh over a thousand pounds! This violation of the law of conservation of energy is naturally due to the extraordinary power, and the twin swords are also magic items.

Holding a heavy sword in hand, he could easily bring down a house with a simple smash.

If placed on the battlefield, his charge would be a nightmare for any hostile force.

Not to mention the knights,

Even if he is a great knight, I am afraid that few people can confront it head-on.

not to mention……

Around Carl, the influence of the magic force field and gravity changes will greatly weaken the means of those who are close to him.

Even a great knight would have his strength restricted.

"Bang!"

The two swords fell to the ground.

Carl's body size gradually shrank, and his clothes also changed accordingly.

"Finally, I don't have to get my shirt ripped off every time." He put away his broadsword, clenched his hands, and muttered:

“It feels good to become stronger.”

With sufficient medicine, Carl's strength increased at a rate visible to the naked eye, increasing every day.

"In one year, or at most three years, you will have enough mental strength to construct six zero-ring witchcrafts and become a high-level wizard apprentice."

"By then, the flesh and blood transformation should be able to proceed simultaneously."

…………

"Uncle."

Aya frowned:

"Something's not right in the city lately."

“Yeah, yeah.” Leon was eating and nodded repeatedly, and when he spoke, rice grains flew out of his mouth:

"I don't feel right either."

"Finish your meal first, don't waste food and forget about the times when you were hungry." Aya glared at him and looked sideways:

"Uncle, do you know what's going on?"

"Something must have happened inside the Chamber of Commerce." Carl put his hands behind his back and looked into the distance:

"It has nothing to do with us, so don't worry about it."

The day before yesterday, there was someone guarding near the store, monitoring his every move, but now there is no one there.

This shows that Lola no longer cares about Carl leaking the news, and it is likely that the news has already been leaked.

Judging from the time, the patient should have passed away.

If it was really Zimmerman, the people in the Chamber of Commerce would definitely become suspicious after not showing up for such a long time.

Even Aya and the others could sense that something was wrong, and the frequently reassigned higher-ups in the Chamber of Commerce must know it better.

“That’s right!”

Carl asked:

"Has the goods I wanted arrived?"

"The water monkey has arrived," Aya replied, "but the others haven't. I asked the people at the cargo yard, but they just said they were busy and kept making excuses."

Hmm? Carl frowned:

"The money has already been paid."

"Yes!" Aya was a little indignant: "Not only did they not deliver the goods, but they also didn't pay us the share of the profits that we were supposed to receive this month. They said the accounts were not clear."

"Our accounts are crystal clear and there have never been any problems!"

Carl stroked his chin.

As a 'lower-level person' in the Chamber of Commerce, he thought that he would not be affected, but it seems that this is not the case.

Without the flesh, blood and organs of legendary creatures for analysis, it would be difficult for subsequent bloodline wizards to make progress in their witchcraft.

Several days have passed.

The two broadswords have been modified, but the stuff hasn’t been delivered yet?

"I'll go and take a look."

"Now?" Aya looked at the sky:

"Isn't it too late?"

"It's okay." Carl paced forward: "It won't take long."

The warehouse was located near the Vanilla Market. Even before he got close, a hint of doubt appeared in Carl's eyes.

"Not here?"

“They actually changed the place!”

He had left his mark on the Wind-Winged Lion's body, and now, the body was clearly not in its original location.

“Swish!”

With a tap of his feet, Carl's figure disappeared from the spot and ran quickly towards the city.

soon.

The sky gradually became darker.

Karl's figure appeared in front of a manor.

"Sea routes, ships..."

In addition to the president who is in charge of the overall situation of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce, the two vice presidents and Lola are each responsible for a part of the affairs.

"This is Vice President Jasper's territory!"

No wonder he couldn’t get the goods. It turned out that the goods had changed hands, and he had offended Jasper before.

It is normal to have some delays when the situation of the Chamber of Commerce is unclear.

even,

If the control of the Chamber of Commerce did not fall into Lula's hands in the end, no one would dare to say anything even if the things were not given to them.

With a glance, Carl silently avoided the patrol personnel, sneaked into the shadow of the corner, and sensed silently.

backyard!

Then his eyes lit up.

Tricks - silence! Combat skills - breath suppression! Adolf not only possessed two complete inheritances, but also many collected tricks and zero-ring witchcraft.

Noise reduction,

is one of them.

After casting a spell, the sound caused by the caster's movement will be weakened and less likely to attract the attention of others.

"Since you won't give it to me, I'll take it myself. I've already paid for it, so it's not like I'm taking advantage of you."

Carl whispered softly, and his figure quietly took off into the air and leaped into the courtyard.

It landed silently.

The sound of feet stepping on the grass stems was silent, as if wiped out by an invisible force.

The breath-concealing combat skill derived from the Giant Breathing Technique can even restrain the aura on his body. Even a hound with an amazing sense of smell will never detect his presence.

This place was heavily guarded and should be a very important stronghold controlled by Jasper, but they couldn't stop him.

“Swish!”

“Swish!”

Avoiding the patrolling guards, Carl quickly approached the backyard.

The Wind-Winged Heavenly Lion's perception became clearer and clearer.

"call……"

The sturdy and strong figure flew over the courtyard wall and landed lightly on the ground, like a nimble flying swallow.

And today's goal finally appeared before my eyes.

This is a yard of neither big nor small. There are several large iron cages in the yard, and each cage contains a ferocious beast.

The body of the Wind-Winged Heavenly Lion is right in the middle.

The corpse's abdomen had been cut open and some flesh and blood had been taken away, and its wings were also torn to pieces.

To ordinary people, this is a horrifying corpse.

For knights and great knights, the flesh and blood of legendary creatures are a great tonic and are very valuable.

To Carl, the corpse in front of him was a treasure! As long as the corpse was analyzed, the prerequisites for the bloodline wizard would be met and the body could be transformed.

"You promised to deliver the goods, but you refused to do so. As compensation, is it okay for me to take away all the remaining bodies?"

Carl looked as if it was a matter of course.

He came all the way here and put in so much effort, he would not be willing to take away only a little.

He took a step forward, reached out to grab the iron door, and just as he was about to open it, his eyebrows raised.

The iron cage had an iron door, which was locked. In this deserted courtyard, the lock was actually open.

Who would be so careless?

No! Someone sneaked in! "Swish!"

A slight sound of breaking air came from behind.

A black shadow appeared out of nowhere, like a ghost in the dark night, shaking his arm and stabbing out the sword in his hand.

The long sword broke through the air with amazing speed.

Death! The black shadow's eyes were cold and without any emotion. He had killed too many people and was used to it.

As the top killer of the Scythe Brotherhood, he launched a sneak attack from behind when he was close to the enemy.

Even though he was a great knight, he was confident enough to succeed.

not to mention……

The black night sky above suddenly gathered and transformed into a figure holding a dagger and stabbed at Carl's head.

Seal - Shadow! Seal - Night Walker! Both of these seals have the effect of allowing the user to blend into the darkness and increase a certain amount of strength in the dark.

The two of them have never failed when they work together.

"Um?"

“Huh!”

A sound of surprise was heard.

However, an invisible force appeared in front of the sharp blade, and the two people's lightning speed slowed down.

No! Not one share.

But several forces!

The invisible force field slowed down the movement of the two people, and the huge pressure made their movements stiff.

Water suddenly appeared around them, forming a whirlpool that pulled them inward.

Zero Ring Witchcraft - Secondary Magic Field! Zero Ring Witchcraft - Water Vortex! Magic Item Meteorite Ball - Double Gravity! Also,

The realm of pressure unleashed by the great knight!

Carl turned around slowly, his expression calm, and glanced at the two slow-moving night killers in front of him.

"knight?"

"It seems that besides me, there are other people who have set their sights on the benefits of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce. I can only say that you are too unlucky to have run into me."

This is normal.

The Dragon King Chamber of Commerce, which has lost its Dragon King and has prominent internal conflicts, is a piece of fat meat in the eyes of other forces.

You would be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t take a bite.

If it weren't for Carl, the two would have succeeded.

But in front of a mid-level wizard apprentice who was armed to the teeth, the knight couldn't even get close.

"Night Walker!"

Carl's gaze paused on one of them, and his eyes flickered.

When he first arrived at the Freeport, someone used this seal as a reward to recruit him.

pity!

"Are you from the Scythe Brotherhood?"

The man in black in front of him narrowed his eyes and increased his speed suddenly.

With the blessing of the seal and being in darkness, his explosive power instantly reached the peak knight level.

Fighting skill - thrust! The extreme speed and sudden burst of power allowed him to break through many limitations and rush in front of Carl.

"puff!"

A ball of water appeared out of thin air.

The long sword pierced into the water ball, and its speed slowed down immediately, but after a slight pause it rushed forward again.

"bite……"

A set of pitch-black armor blocked the way again. Carl raised his left hand, and the ring flashed with a faint light.

Zero-ring witchcraft—Bibo Guardian! Magic item—Guna! The black-clothed man's strength stagnated, and despair appeared in his eyes.

"Even after the peak knight burst out with all his strength, he still can't break through the defense?" Carl muttered softly and waved his arm lightly.

“Swish!”

"puff!"

There was a flash of cold light, and two bodies fell to the ground.

Although he had just been promoted to Grand Knight, anyone who was not a Grand Knight could not pose any threat to him.

Peak Knight...

Kill with ease!

"I wonder what will happen if I meet the Great Knight?"

He touched his chin calmly, controlled the water flow to roll the corpse aside, and raised his hand to grab the corpse in the cage.

"receive!"

"Um!"

Carl groaned and his body trembled slightly.

It was also the first time that he realized that carrying something over a certain weight to the fragment of the divine realm was so difficult.

It's like eating with big mouthfuls but your mouth is limited and you can only swallow bit by bit.

a long time.

The void trembled suddenly, and Karl and the body of the Wind-Winged Lion in the iron cage disappeared at the same time.

Fragments of the divine domain.

"call……"

Carl's body went limp and he almost collapsed to the ground. It took him a long rest before he slowly regained some strength.

When I returned to the other world again, what I saw was chaos.

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