Although the Hand of the Lesser Mage has been built, it is still necessary to take advantage of the wizard's free courses.

after all,

When explaining the Hand of a Lesser Mage, the basic theoretical knowledge of various schools such as 'mechanics' and 'mysticism' will definitely be involved. These basic knowledge are not only useful for the Hand of a Lesser Mage, but also beneficial for the future practice of the same type of spells.

Besides, it’s a waste not to take advantage of free stuff.

Time passes.

With sufficient medical assistance, Carl's mental and physical condition are slowly improving.

He was immersed in this all-round improvement that was visible to the naked eye. He went out of the island less and less frequently, except for teaching witchcraft classes, when he usually stayed on the island all day.

Gradually, he, who once gained some fame for saving his senior sister, was inevitably forgotten.

The people at the center of the Swamp Alliance are all high-level wizard apprentices with outstanding talents.

Such as: Modili, Oma...

People like Carl, who have mediocre talent, limited future achievements and are taciturn, are easily overlooked.

When talking about him, most people say that he was lucky enough to be a junior wizard apprentice on an island, or that he was Xibel's junior brother.

On the contrary, Sibel, because of his frequent participation in missions and his impressive performances several times, especially as he was about to break through to become a high-level wizard apprentice, his fame was growing.

…………

Free port.

pharmacy.

Various herbs and materials were disassembled, ground, and mixed one by one, and then poured into thumb-sized medicine bottles.

Bottles of medicine were neatly stacked, and some were sent to various chambers of commerce or sold in shops.

On quiet days, Aya, with her long hair tied up, was busy and skilled, and her figure kept moving before her eyes.

Carl was lying on the rocking chair, his eyes half-closed, looking relaxed, gazing at the crimson moon in the sky.

"Aya."

He took out a high-quality animal pill and put it in his mouth, savoring it slowly like chewing candy beans, and said casually: "We have been in Freeport for more than a year, right?"

"Um."

Aya stopped moving, her eyes dazed, "It's so fast, it feels like only a short time has passed in Black City, but it's actually been more than a year?"

"yes!"

Carl sighed:

"Time flies. You're growing up. You should have time to go to the street and buy some nice clothes."

Aya blushed.

When in the Black City, it was common to eat one meal and then eat the next, and it was normal to go hungry for a few days.

Without nutrition, the body will naturally become thin.

Now that she has enough food and drink every day and is well-nourished, Aya's figure is gradually in line with her age.

Start to have bumps and curves.

"OK."

Aya pursed her lips and asked cautiously, "Uncle, what color clothes do you think would look better on me?"

"Purple, maybe." Carl said casually.

“You can try.”

"Purple?" Aya blinked, thoughtfully.

Carl took out a bright red animal pill, examined it for a moment, and then put it into his mouth.

This is a beast pill made from the flesh and blood of a legendary creature, placed by Jasper in the treasure room.

I think,

Even great knights can rarely use it for training.

Refining beast pills not only requires exotic beast meat that contains the breath of life, but also various auxiliary materials.

The stronger the beast meat, the rarer the auxiliary materials required. The auxiliary materials of legendary creatures are all extremely rare, so this type of beast pill is also a rare item.

Giant Breathing! Crucible! Instant.

The intestines in the body squirmed wildly, like a long-hungry glutton, rapidly devouring the energy that poured in.

"boom!"

The animal ball that falls into the stomach is like a high-temperature bomb, bursting out with vast energy and rushing to every part of the body.

Even though Carl had an outstanding physique, he couldn't help but breathe faster, and a layer of blush appeared on the surface of his skin.

His whole body seemed like a big furnace.

Aya, who was busy, looked puzzled. She fanned her cheeks with her hands and looked outside curiously.

This kind of weather,

It doesn't make sense to be so hot! "Huh..."

Opening his eyes, Carl exhaled lightly, and the breath gathered into a sword, shooting forward several meters before slowly dissipating.

'The effect is amazing. If you take this beast pill every day, you will soon reach the peak of the great knight realm.'

"Mr. Karl."

A dark shadow blocked his view of the sky. Jacqueline walked into the shop and said respectfully, "Knight Yas wants to see you."

…………

Yas!

The only son of Henry the Eagle, the fourth elder of the Scythe Brotherhood, and a shrewd but very timid businessman.

When Carl first arrived in Freeport, Yas had recruited him.

pity,

Because the promised seal could not be delivered, the recruitment failed and Yas went into hiding.

This response clearly lacks courage.

Appears very cowardly.

However, Carl had no ill will towards him. After all, it was not Yas's fault that the seal could not be delivered.

Later, the two had contact. In order to express his apology, Yas sold him a lot of things at a low price and won him some goodwill.

"Come!"

In the tavern, Yas greeted him warmly:

"This is strong liquor sold in the gathering area of ​​dwarves in the western border. The trade environment is not good now, and it is becoming less and less."

“Try it!”

Carl picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The spicy taste instantly filled his mouth, making him feel slightly tipsy and dizzy.

"good."

"very nice!"

"Haha..." Yas laughed: "As long as you like it."

“Try the food!”

"Freeport is close to the Endless Sea. The fish processing here should be the best in the Grand Dukedom."

He greeted everyone warmly and introduced the food and drinks on the table.

"Yas."

Karl said, "We are old friends now. If you have anything to say, you can just say it directly. There is no need to be so formal."

"Heh..." Yas paused, nodded, sat down and said:

"Karl, you should have heard that the Dragon King of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce has died. Have you considered moving to another place?"

"The Dragon King is dead?" Carl shook his head: "It's just a rumor."

"No." Yas said solemnly, "It's not a rumor. I have received accurate information. Dragon King Zimerman is indeed dead."

"The news was spread by the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce itself. I'm afraid there will be unrest within your chamber of commerce."

This kind of news must be kept strictly guarded. If it is leaked by one of our own people, there is a high probability that the internal situation is already unstable.

"..." Karl hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled:

"It doesn't matter!"

"I'm just a small pharmacist. No matter who becomes the guild president, I won't change my attitude."

"Not necessarily!" Yas narrowed his eyes: "I remember that you seemed to have offended Jasper?"

"It's impossible for a big shot like that to remember me just because of such a small thing." Carl said with a smile.

"Ah!" Yas sighed, as if he had thought of something, and his expression turned a little unhappy:

“Sometimes you really shouldn’t think too highly of those high and mighty people. Maybe their minds are even smaller than those of ordinary people.”

"You never know when you have offended him. Maybe one day, it will turn into a fatal blow."

"Oh!" Karl raised his eyebrows: "Yas, you have a lot of feelings. Have you ever been targeted by someone?"

"Targeted?" Yas smiled bitterly: "There are many such cases."

"Karl, the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce will soon be in turmoil, and... other forces don't want to see a brand new Dragon King Chamber of Commerce. You can avoid a lot of trouble if you leave now. The Scythe Brotherhood is an option."

"Hmm..." Carl thought for a moment:

"What can you give?"

He didn't mind leaving the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce. Just as the other party had said, the current Dragon King Chamber of Commerce had become a big whirlpool, and leaving it as soon as possible could avoid a lot of trouble.

certainly,

It also has to be at a good price.

"We can give you all the conditions offered by the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce, plus an additional Shadow Walker Seal." At this point, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Yas's face: "I will definitely not make any mistakes this time!"

Shadow Walker Sigil? Carl shook his head slightly.

He had just been promoted to knight and needed a good seal to improve his strength, but it was different now.

Having inherited Adolf's legacy, Carl has no shortage of means to fight his enemies, and there are so many zero-ring sorcery that he doesn't know which one to choose.

and,

He is already a great knight, and even with the Shadow Walker Seal, it will only increase his strength a little.

"Yas."

Picking up the wine glass, Karl said slowly:

"You should know the market situation of the medicine I refine and how much profit it can generate every month."

"Shadow Walker..."

"If it's the Blood Blade, I can consider it."

"Are you kidding me?" Yas was speechless: "This is impossible!"

Blood Blade! The most famous seal of the Scythe Brotherhood, there are only a few of them, and even his father is not qualified to refine them.

This seal is a super-grade seal, which can even allow a knight to kill a great knight across levels.

"That's a shame."

Carl sighed and said:

"In fact, I have several other potion formulas that can generate profits that can double what they are now."

"Maybe more..."

He sat up straight and said, "Yas, if the Scythe Brotherhood wants to recruit me, they should be more sincere. I am also looking for my own partners now."

"Oh!" Yas frowned: "What you mean by sincerity is..."

"What I want." Karl said seriously:

"Superb seal! Great divine grace! Legendary creature!"

?

Yas's expression was stiff:

"Karl, are you kidding me?"

How many super-quality sigils does the entire Scythe Brotherhood have? Even a great knight may not be able to rank among them.

As for the Great God...

He had lived for so many years and had come into contact with countless precious objects, but he had only seen one once when he was a child.

Legendary creature?

Each one is worth hundreds of thousands of Divine Grace Coins, and hunting each one means the loss of many lives.

"I'm not kidding."

Carl shook his head slowly, his expression indifferent: "Yas, what I can provide is not only the medicines sold now, but also other..."

"You should be a peak knight now, right?"

"Yes." Yas narrowed his eyes: "Although I am a top knight, I am not good at fighting with others. My strength is not even comparable to some ordinary knights."

"What do you want to say?"

"Have you ever thought about becoming a great knight one day?" Carl looked at the other person and spoke slowly.

As his voice fell, a strong and majestic aura slowly emerged from his body.

"Bang!"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Jacqueline, with sweat on her forehead, rushed in and said anxiously:

"Oh no! Someone went to Mr. Karl's shop to cause trouble."

"Um?"

Karl frowned, and the aura on his body instantly subsided: “I’ll go take a look.”

Yas opened his mouth and reached out to stop him, but before he could say anything, Carl pushed the door open and walked out.

"That breath just now..."

Looking at Carl's back, Yas's eyes were filled with doubt:

"illusion?"

"It must be an illusion!"

* * * Aya lowered her body and rushed forward quickly.

Over the past year, in addition to learning the skill of refining potions from Carl, she also learned breathing techniques.

With the assistance of Beast Pill, she has already become a knight's squire.

“Swish!”

With a tap of the foot, his body moved forward several meters as if teleporting, and a few more feather arrows appeared where he had just landed.

"Who shot the arrow?"

"Alive!"

Someone in the pursuit shouted:

"Catch him alive, understand?"

"This girl knows how to make potions. Her price is more expensive than ours combined. If we hurt her, we won't be able to report to our superiors."

The roar was getting closer.

Aya's face was gloomy. As she rushed forward, she took out a bottle of medicine from her waist and swallowed it. Her speed suddenly increased.

Lightness potion!

It was a kind of witchcraft potion that could increase a person's speed. It was very expensive, so she had never been willing to take it.

"Sister Aya!"

At the same time he shouted loudly:

"Who are you? How dare you hunt down the pharmacist of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce?"

Leon is no longer the skinny boy he used to be, but a top knight squire with magical seals.

The people around him were all former refugees from the Black City, many of whom had received financial support from Aya.

Seeing Aya being chased by someone, he couldn't help but get angry.

"withdraw!"

Seeing that there was no way out, the pursuers retreated decisively, but their cold gazes showed that the matter would not end there.

"Sister Aya!"

"Huh..." Aya took a deep breath and waved her hands:

"Let's go to Sister Susan's shop first. Something is wrong. These people are not afraid of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce?"

“Yes.” Leon nodded hastily: “Let’s find Sister Susan first.”

A group of people hurried to the shop located in the core of the Vanilla Market, where quite a few people had already gathered.

Everyone looked flustered and asked something in a low voice.

Susan was surrounded by the crowd, constantly comforting others, and didn't even have time to notice them.

"Sister Aya."

Leon whispered, "It seems that not only you were attacked, but other places were attacked as well. This is an organized and premeditated action."

"Who could it be?"

There are only two companies in the entire Freeport that dare to take action against the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce and have the strength to do so.

The key is, why? The Dragon King Chamber of Commerce is quite powerful, and even if the other two forces join forces, they may not be able to take it down easily.

Even if you take it by force, the cost will outweigh the gain.

unless……

"There is a problem within the Chamber of Commerce!"

Aya's thoughts turned rapidly and she said:

"It seems that the rumors are true. Dragon King Zimerman is dead, Miss Lula is too young, and the two vice presidents don't get along with each other..."

A moment.

The rumors at the market, the vague words and careful instructions on Carl's lips, were all explained.

At this time.

"Bang!"

There was suddenly a loud noise outside the door.

"Listen, people from the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce. Don't think that you can owe money and not pay it back just because you have more people and more power."

The roar was like thunder.

It was like a muffled thunder exploding in the ears. Everyone in the room turned pale, and some people even collapsed to the ground.

"Two years ago you owed me 200,000 Divine Grace Coins, but you have been dragging your feet on paying me back. How long do you want to drag it out?"

"Susan!"

"Come out!"

The huge roar shook the entire store, causing dust to fall, and also aroused the anger of the crowd.

"who?"

"What a courage!"

"How dare you cause trouble in the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce's store!"

"superior!"

Everyone rushed out of the store, and the outermost group had already started fighting, using fists, kicks, and weapons.

What to do.

“Crackle…”

"Bang!"

With a series of muffled noises, the space in front of the store was suddenly empty, and those who had rushed forward flew back one after another.

There were even two knights among them.

Those who flew backwards suffered skin and flesh cracks at best, while others vomited blood after landing and had countless broken bones.

"hiss……"

Someone gasped, "It's the Demonic Dragon Dewitt. Who would have thought that he would come ashore and dare to provoke the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce?"

The man standing in front of the door was over two meters tall, with well-defined muscles. His bare upper body was covered with scars, and his messy blond hair made him look unruly and wild.

He had a knife on his back. The shape of the knife was very strange, like the tooth of some wild beast.

Although he was alone, he showed no fear in the face of the crowd that surrounded him, and even looked a bit disdainful.

Devitt, the Magic Dragon! A notorious pirate!

He makes a living by plundering merchant ships in the Endless Sea, and his pirate ship, the Giant Shuttle, is the nightmare of many fishermen.

The number of people who died at his hands is countless.

This kind of person should be condemned by everyone in Free Port, but he not only dared to show up, but also provoked the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce.

"Dewitt!"

Susan parted the crowd, her eyes cold: "I think you are really tired of living, you actually dare to cause trouble for our Dragon King Chamber of Commerce!"

"Let's put it this way." DeWitt curled his lips.

"Two years ago, your Dragon King Chamber of Commerce asked me to take down a cargo ship of the Sea God Society. I really took action but you refused to admit it."

"This is two hundred thousand Divine Grace Coins..."

"Since you won't give it to me, I'll have to come and get it myself."

“Wow…”

The crowd erupted in uproar.

This is the vanilla market, and it is crowded with people.

Someone came to provoke the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce's shop again. The area was already surrounded by a crowd of people, who couldn't help but whisper when they heard the words.

The private conflicts among the three major forces are well known to everyone, but no one dares to bring them up in the open.

No one thought that the Demon Dragon DeWitt was lying. Given his identity and what he did, there was no need for that.

The Dragon King Chamber of Commerce actually hired pirates to deal with the Sea God Society? "Nonsense!"

Susan's face changed drastically and she said angrily:

"There is no such thing!"

"If you say no, then there is no more?" DeWitt's eyes widened. "Two hundred thousand Divine Grace Coins is not a small sum. If you don't pay it back for two years, it will be doubled with interest, right?"

"Since your Chamber of Commerce is unwilling to pay, then use this store as collateral, including the people in the store."

"you……"

He pointed at Susan and smiled strangely:

"You have a nice figure, stay and warm my bed."

DeWitt had spent half his life at sea, and although it was free and unrestrained, he was fed up with that kind of life.

Who doesn’t want to eat well, live well, and have fun?

Now someone gave him the opportunity to settle down in the free port with a legitimate reason, and he immediately agreed.

"fart!"

Susan said angrily:

“Go to hell!”

Swoosh! The scimitar broke through the air and headed straight for DeWitt.

"good!"

DeWitt narrowed his eyes and smiled grimly:

"It's hot enough, it's interesting like this, a woman like this is more interesting to play with in bed."

"when……"

He raised his hand and clenched his fist, striking at the incoming scimitar, and his flesh and blood body actually knocked the scimitar away.

Susan's face turned pale, her body lost control and balance, and she watched helplessly as the other person reached out to hug her.

"stop!"

A man rushed out from the crowd, holding a harpoon and shook it lightly, then stabbed out with lightning speed.

The sound of breaking through the air was so sharp that it made one's scalp tingle.

Peak Knight!

As the main shop of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce in the Vanilla Market, there has always been a top knight in charge here.

"Um?"

DeWitt's eyes flashed, he raised his hand and pushed Susan away, his shoulders shook, and the scimitar behind him flew out by itself.

"interesting."

"Play with you!"

"when……"

The scimitar was gently swung horizontally, blocking the harpoon.

The top knight of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce's expression changed, and he suddenly turned around. The harpoon in his hand flashed, and the sky was filled with harpoon shadows in an instant.

But the next moment.

A strangely shaped scimitar easily shattered the fork shadow and struck his chest as if it were in an empty place.

"puff!"

The top knight of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce vomited blood and retreated, his eyes filled with horror. Before he could regain his breath, he felt a pain in his neck. Then his sight moved uncontrollably and a headless corpse came into view.

A headless corpse?

Who is it?

It was me...

My mind suddenly became clear and my consciousness fell into endless darkness.

"Oh……"

DeWitt shook his head with disdain: "So weak!"

"It seems that there is really no one left in the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce. In this case, it is better to let me take care of the store."

Having said that, he stepped forward.

"how?"

Looking at the group of people in front of the store, DeWitt raised his eyebrows: "Do you have any objections?"

Susan's face turned pale, and the others subconsciously avoided each other's gazes and slowly backed away.

"That's the way it should be!"

DeWitt nodded in satisfaction at everyone's reactions and stepped forward:

"From now on, you are all mine. Bring the things in the store to me first."

Then he pointed at Susan: "You!"

"Prepare snacks and drinks for me."

"..." Susan's face was stiff, her teeth were clenched, and the veins on her hand holding the scimitar were bulging.

"Um?"

DeWitt's face darkened, and he waved his hand and slapped him:

"What an attitude, bitch!"

“Bang!”

Susan stumbled back, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.

"Sister Susan!"

"Shopkeeper!"

“…”

Everyone was furious when they saw this, but no one dared to look at DeWitt when he glanced at them.

The evil reputation of the magic dragon is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and even the top knights are no match for it. Who else dares to stand up?

"What's going on?"

At this moment, a calm voice sounded:

"Aya, are you okay?"

Karl pushed through the crowd and walked towards the store. His eyes swept across the crowd and fell on Aya, his expression slightly relaxed.

When he got the news and rushed to the store, he found that the store had been vandalized and Aya was not in the store.

Thinking of what I had said before, I came here.

really.

Aya is here.

But the situation here is also a bit bad.

"Uncle Carl!"

“Karl!”

Seeing the person coming, Aya couldn't help but show joy, while Susan's eyes moved slightly, and then dimmed again.

"Another one?" The demon dragon Dewitt laughed softly:

"Here to die?"

"Seeking death?" Carl frowned. Although he didn't know what happened, his mind instantly sorted out what happened.

"No!"

"I'm here to give you a gift, a gift for future partners." He smiled.

"Your head looks very suitable to me."

"Hmm?" The demon dragon Dewitt's face darkened: "You're looking for death!"

Swish! The strange scimitar flashed suddenly, and instantly crossed a distance of nearly ten meters, and the blade was close to Carl's neck.

"when……"

There was a collision sound.

A broadsword was placed across the scimitar.

"boom!"

Two terrifying auras suddenly emerged.

"Great Knight!"

Someone in the field exclaimed.
