"Mr. Karl."

Jacqueline bowed respectfully and said, "Knight Yas's father wants to see you. He happens to have a few of the great graces you mentioned last time."

"Oh!" Carl stopped mixing the potion, turned around and looked at him, his eyes thoughtful:

"Yeah?"

"Yes." Jacqueline nodded:

"Elder Henry told me that if you find it inconvenient, you can set the meeting place at the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce's tavern."

"No need to bother." Karl smiled faintly: "I'll pack up and be there soon."

He then gestured to the other party to wait outside and called Aya.

"Uncle."

Aya frowned subconsciously after hearing the situation:

"It's not a good idea to meet with the Scythe Brotherhood at this time. Miss Lula will probably be unhappy."

"Henry the Eagle is a qualified businessman, and Yas is my friend. There's no problem meeting him." Carl straightened his clothes.

"We and Lula are just partners, not subordinate to each other, and she knows this very well."

"but……"

"Henry wants to see me?"

He shook his head slightly, but didn't say much.

If he had not yet become a senior wizard apprentice, he might have had some concerns, but now that he has advanced, he has enough confidence to deal with danger. Besides, it is worth making a special trip for the grace of the great god.

"Tell the crow where to meet, and he'll know what to do."

"yes."

Aya should be.

Among the great knights of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce, Crow is the most mysterious one. He possesses a special seal, and it is said that he can save his life even when facing a top-level great knight.

…………

"Bang!"

Emma was furious and threw the wine glass in her hand heavily to the ground. The glass shattered and frightened the servants around her.

“Karl!”

Her cheek muscles twitched. "As a member of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce, he went to meet the elders of the Scythe Brotherhood in private. What did he think?"

"Mother." Lula whispered, "Mr. Karl is very sentimental. He has a good relationship with Eagle Henry's son Yas. There is no reason for us to stop him."

"Besides, since he asked Uncle Crow to tell us the news, it doesn't count as a private meeting, and he also wants us to be at ease."

"Don't worry?" Emma snorted coldly: "If you really want to make people feel at ease, you shouldn't go to meet!"

"It seems that Carl is not a person who can be fully trusted. You have to find a way to get the formula of the violent potion. Then..."

"snort!"

"Mother!" Lola sighed, "The place where Henry met Mr. Karl is not far from the slums. It might be a trap."

"Let someone prepare it first."

"Mr. Karl is very important to our Chamber of Commerce. No matter what, he must not be put in danger."

As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. What's more, the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce has not yet declined, especially after taking down Jasper's forces, it is easy to dispatch some knights.

Accompanied by a team of knights, there is room for maneuver even if danger occurs.

"Prepare, prepare for what?" Unexpectedly, Emma raised her eyebrows and said, "If it is really a trap, it is also an opportunity for us."

"Um?"

Lula looked surprised.

…………

Eagle Henry has a steady personality and his character has stood the test of time, so he won Carl's trust.

The carriage moved slowly on the road.

The muddy and rugged roads put a great test on the shock absorption function of the carriage.

In the carriage, incense was lit and blankets were laid out. The warm atmosphere allowed Carl to slowly relax.

'No one's coming!'

"It seems that I, a great knight and pharmacist, am not highly regarded in the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce."

"Given Lola's personality, it's impossible for her not to transfer someone here, so... was it Madam Emma's decision?"

Carl shook his head slightly.

In his opinion, both Emma and Lula had character flaws.

Emma is too strong and sometimes even unreasonable, so it's no wonder that many people have opinions about her.

Her ability is greater than that of the two vice presidents, but no one has ever suggested that she take over the position of president.

Lula is the opposite.

The character is too weak.

Perhaps it was because she had a strong mother that she had no opinion at critical moments.

If Lola wants to truly grow up, she may have to break away from her domineering mother.

Huh? "Stop the car!"

"Whoa!"

Jacqueline pulled the reins gently and stopped the carriage:

"Mr. Karl, what's wrong?"

At some point, a light drizzle began to fall outside, and a thin mist filled the Free Port.

Carl lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, looking forward in the rain.

Ahead was a long street, no different from other places except that there were fewer pedestrians because of the rain.

But in Carl's perception, the air was filled with murderous aura, like a giant interwoven net, quietly waiting for its prey to fall into it.

With powerful mental perception, one can even "see" the figures hidden in the streets and houses.

They held their bows and arrows high, gripped their weapons tightly, held their breath, and listened to orders from somewhere at all times.

These people have the skills to restrain their life breath, but they cannot conceal their own mental fluctuations.

Those balls of fiery mental power were almost clearly visible to the senior wizard apprentice.

Carl bowed his head.

Look at your arms.

The hairs that were originally close to the skin had stood up at some point, and the spider sense also sent out warning signs.

Alas! Sighing, Karl shook his head helplessly: "Forget it!"

"Go back."

There might be other reasons why Eagle Henry betrayed his trust, but Carl didn't intend to pay attention to them.

But it will be hard for the relationship to go back to what it was before.

"go back?"

Jacqueline looked surprised: "Mr. Karl, we'll be there soon."

Karl turned his head and looked at Jacqueline seriously, as if to confirm her attitude, and then chuckled: “It’s okay, just say that I’m not feeling well, I believe old Mr. Henry will understand.”

“Hmm!”

"It seems it's too late."

He turned around and looked at the long street ahead.

“Buzz…”

A slight tremor sounded, and the drizzle suddenly accelerated, with countless raindrops whistling down from the sky.

Rain of arrows!

The rain blocked out the sky, completely covering the place where Carl was standing, and even the nearby area was not spared.

"careful!"

Jacqueline yelled subconsciously, holding the hilt of the sword with her right hand, her eyes full of despair.

The rain of arrows was too fast and too dense, leaving no room to dodge, and it was impossible to stop them all.

“Wow!”

Just as he was about to close his eyes and wait for death, a stream of water appeared out of nowhere and instantly turned into a huge water ball with a diameter of six or seven meters, wrapping the two of them up.

Zero Ring Witchcraft - Blue Wave Guardian! Water is soft, but also extremely tough.

Even if a bullet exceeds the speed of sound, its kinetic energy will quickly dissipate when it falls into water, and the same is true for arrows.

not to mention.

The water ball transformed by the Green Wave Guardian is not static, but is constantly rotating rapidly inside.

As long as the incoming attack cannot break through the defense in an instant, its power will be quickly dissipated.

"puff!"

“Puff!”

Countless arrows penetrated the water ball, their speed suddenly slowed down, and then they were thrown out by the rotating water flow.

"collapse!"

A tremor sounded.

Before the sound reached the eardrum, three giant arrows more than two meters long penetrated the water ball first.

The water waves tremble.

Carl narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the arrow approaching him quickly, and raised his right hand slightly.

Zero Ring Witchcraft - Secondary Mage Force Field! The defensive power was superimposed, and all the incoming attacks were stopped, and three giant arrows also stopped in front of the face.

The person who set the trap was obviously well aware of the Great Knight's defense and launched a saturation attack right from the start.

It was like dozens of knights were rushing in from all directions, swinging their weapons and slashing wildly, leaving no chance for anyone to breathe.

It is indeed difficult for an ordinary knight to resist, and even if he does, he will inevitably get hurt.

What can I do?

Carl's defense was far superior to that of an ordinary Great Knight! Even the peak Great Knights could not compare to him. This kind of attack was no threat to him at all.

“Swish!”

A figure flashed before my eyes, and two huge auras emerged.

Great Knight! Carl's face hardened.

He thought that the Scythe Brotherhood might be unfavorable to him, but the most likely possibility was that they could be won over.

They will only resort to violence if they fail to win over the person.

So theoretically the first meeting wasn't very dangerous, which was one of the reasons why he agreed to come.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not play by the rules at all and came directly to attack violently.

"call……"

A great knight opened his mouth and exhaled, a wisp of cold air came out, and instantly turned into a vast expanse of white.

Wherever the cold air goes, everything is frozen.

The water ball transformed by the Bi Bo Guardian instantly turned into an ice lump, and the two people inside it also turned into ice sculptures.

Super seal - Breath of the Frost Dragon! The other great knight flashed and turned into a cloud of smoke, ignoring the ice layer and moving towards the inside.

He held a strange long sword in his hand, and with a slight shake of the sword, countless sword marks appeared in the ice.

"snort!"

On the roof of a house in the distance, the second elder Baird snorted coldly:

"Perhaps he is quite capable, but after all, he has only been a great knight for a short time and lacks the experience of fighting with masters of the same level."

"Frost Girl and Gray Shadow should be enough."

"Yes." A slim young woman beside him smiled and said, "If you don't want to do something, don't do it. If you want to do it, do it thoroughly. Since we have offended him before, we might as well just kill him."

"That guy Yas actually wanted me to apologize to him in order to gain his trust. How hilarious!"

"Not bad." Baird nodded:

"You must always remember this..."

"Um?"

Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.

“Crack…”

“Crack!”

A crisp sound came from the ice lumps.

Carl's face was gloomy, his body was shaking slightly, and the fighting spirit accumulated in his body exploded like ignited explosives.

Fighting Skills - Bloom! "Boom!"

The huge lump of ice shattered into pieces in an instant, and the knight who rushed towards him had to step back and dodge.

"Guna!"

Carl raised his hand, and the armor automatically covered his entire body. He looked sideways and saw that Jacqueline had already lost her life.

Her body was frozen into an ice sculpture and then cut by a sharp blade, shattering into countless ice cubes along with the ice ball.

"The Scythe Brotherhood!"

Carl took a deep breath, and the two swords at his waist were unsheathed, and a gray breath mixed with fighting spirit surged out.

"die!"

Combat skill——Fierce Wind Slash!

Sword shadows filled the sky, descending from the sky and instantly covering the two great knights, with violent fighting spirit roaring out.

"when……"

“Ding ding dong dong…”

"Bang!"

During the collision, a figure stumbled out, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of fear . "What happened?"

The Frost Girl gritted her teeth:

"There's something wrong with his body!"

As long as she got close to Carl, several invisible forces would act on her, slowing her movement and weakening her attack power.

It's like fighting someone while carrying a mountain on your back. Just resisting this force takes up most of your energy.

Out of 100% of your strength, you can only exert 40% at most.

In addition, Carl was not weak to begin with, and his defense was so exaggerated that he could withstand their attacks.

How could they fight this? On the contrary, his companion Gray Shadow, whose seal could make his body virtual to a certain extent, was not affected by the force field, but facing Carl's rapid attack, he was also stretched to the limit.

"Shoot!"

Seeing that Gray Shadow was about to collapse, Frost Girl shouted anxiously: "Shoot!"

As he said this, he gritted his teeth, raised two daggers and rushed forward, quickly drawing his swords despite the pressure that was all around him.

Now we can only hold on through this wave and wait for help to arrive.

Fortunately, the second elder invested a lot in this operation, and there were more than just the two knights coming.

“Swish!”

Arrows rained down again.

This time, they mainly use large crossbows and even crossbow cannons, which are enough to pose a threat to the great knight.

Humph! Karl snorted coldly. Originally, he was not willing to pay attention to those outsiders, but now it seems...

"open!"

Secret Technique - Giantization! "Boom!"

moment.

A giant over five meters tall appeared on the scene, wielding two giant swords to knock away the incoming arrows.

Lift one foot at the same time.

The spiritual fluctuations and life breath around him appeared in Carl's perception like red dots.

The terrifying power accumulated in the body, and the rhythm of the earth rose and fell like breathing, until it reached a certain point.

Superb Dharma Seal - Regretfully! One foot stepped on it.

"boom!"

A thunderous roar appeared in the field, echoing in half of the Free Port. The ground cracked under Carl's feet, and cracks spread like spider webs. Dust and gravel were shaken and flew everywhere. The air was filled with dust and strong energy, and rows of houses collapsed.

The terrifying shock force directly knocked down all living creatures within dozens of meters ahead.

Under the shock, the knights and their squires fainted on the spot, and the knights felt sore and numb that they were unable to move.

The great knight's face also turned pale and his legs were trembling.

Unfortunately, there were two waves of attacks.

Under the influence of the super-grade seal, the soil beneath the earth turned into sharp stone spikes that suddenly broke through the ground.

"puff!"

“Puff!”

moment.

Dozens of human figures were pierced through the bodies by stone spikes and hung in the air, screaming and wailing miserably.

Most of the red dots that were originally sensed as symbolizing the breath of life disappeared in an instant.

The rest also had weak breath.

“Buzz…”

After dealing with the troublesome soldiers, Carl trembled the two huge swords in his hands and slashed towards the two great knights.

Combat Skills——Divine Judgment! "Boom!"

The earth shook violently, and the surging fighting spirit gathered into a tornado, sweeping forward with increasing power.

"Bang!"

The Frost Girl was the first to be eliminated, spitting blood and flying backwards. After landing, her body was shaking and she couldn't get up for a while.

Because of the seal, the gray shadow can become blurred at any time, so it can still hold on.

only……

"Is that all you can do?"

"come out!"

The giant transformed by Carl brandished a huge sword and rushed along the street. Wherever he passed, houses collapsed and the ground cracked.

"You damned rat, little mouse, come out and fight me face to face if you have the guts, come out!"

"boom!"

Houses collapsed and walls broke into pieces.

The gray shadow dodged desperately, but under the suppression of various force fields, his speed was still getting slower and slower.

I had to draw my sword to intercept.

"when……"

wrong!

The collision sound was different from the previous ones, causing Gray Shadow's eyes to shrink and he secretly thought that something was wrong.

However, at some point, the sword in his hand suddenly turned grayish white, and the material changed from mixed iron to stone.

Stone sword?

Oops! "Bang!"

The stone sword exploded, and the gray shadow's body was hit by the giant sword. He spit blood and was smashed into the ruins.

"stop!"

"Mr. Karl, please stop!"

A figure flew over from a distance, like a hawk flying close to the ground, shouting: "Mr. Karl, this is a misunderstanding, please stop, spare..."

"Bang!"

Before he could finish his words, Carl had already swung his giant sword and chopped the gray shadow's body into a pile of meat paste.

At the same time, he stepped towards the motionless Frost Girl.

“Karl!”

Henry gritted his teeth, his wrist trembled, and shouted: "Please stop, this time it was our Scythe Brotherhood that was wrong, and we are willing to pay compensation with the grace of the Great God."

Great God, are you doing this? Carl paused for a moment, turned around slowly, and then stretched out his hand to grab the Frost Girl on the ground.

With a gentle pinch, the already unconscious Frost Girl fainted.

"Take the great grace in exchange!"

Carl hummed softly, leaped up and flew away into the distance.

* * * Monroe, the vice president of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce, is mainly responsible for the chamber of commerce’s various internal affairs and contacts on land.

He is short and of average appearance, known for his ruthless methods, but he is very caring towards the people around him.

Therefore, there are the most die-hard fans.

"master."

The servant whispered, "News came from the Scythe Brotherhood that they are planning to take action against Pharmacist Carl. It was the Second Elder's idea."

"Baird?" Monroe frowned. "Do the other elders agree? How sure is he?"

"Not many elders agreed. Most of them acquiesced. Only the fourth elder Henry clearly expressed his opposition." The servant said:

"The Second Elder has made a lot of preparations, so the chances of success should be great."

"He has always done things this way." Monroe snorted. "It would be great if it worked, and it would also be a blow to that crazy woman Emma. I'm just afraid it won't work."

“Crack…”

When he opened the door, his expression suddenly changed.

This is his residence, and it is heavily guarded outside, but there is someone in the room who shouldn't be there.

"Lula!"

"Uncle Monroe." Lula put her hands behind her back and was admiring a relief on the wall with a complicated look in her eyes:

"This should be the scene where my father founded the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce. Decades have passed in a flash."

"Yes." Monroe winked at the servant and walked into the room:

"Back then, your father brought the twelve of us together to establish the Chamber of Commerce, and we have come this far step by step."

“I’ll never forget that scene.”

Recalling the past, his voice was filled with emotion.

"If that's the case, why does Uncle Monroe want to split up the Chamber of Commerce?" Lula turned around, looking puzzled:

"The Chamber of Commerce was built by you all. It's not easy to get to where it is today. Why did you have to go to this point?"

"You should ask your father and your mother." Monroe sneered, "The Chamber of Commerce was established by all of us working together. Why is it called the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce? Do you think I am willing to be the vice president of this Chamber of Commerce? If it weren't for your father, I would have more choices."

He took a step forward and looked at the relief on the wall: "How many of the brothers who fought together back then are still alive?"

"If you want to blame someone, blame your father for being too overbearing and your mother for being too strong-willed. They can't tolerate anyone else in their eyes."

"Lula."

Monroe looked at him with a complicated expression: "If it weren't for your mother, maybe I wouldn't mind giving you the position of president. I watched you grow up, and I know your personality very well."

"..." Lula was silent for a moment before she spoke slowly: "Uncle Monroe, please stay!"

"Stay?" Monroe snorted coldly: "Too late!"

"Uncle Crow is cleaning up your people outside. Mother will be here any moment. You have no choice." Lula shook her head: "Stay, or..."

"Or what?" Monroe said:

"Kill me?"

"Pharmacist Carl is being besieged by the Scythe Brotherhood. You didn't go to save him but came here. Was it your mother's decision?"

"Uncle Monroe." Lula frowned: "It's meaningless to say this now. You've already lost."

Monroe's expression froze.

Too!

Now he has no helper around him, and he may not have a chance of winning against Lola who has the wrath of the Dragon King.

What's more, there are Crow and others.

While the Scythe Brotherhood's attention was drawn to Carl, no one was able to provide him with assistance.

"You win."

The muscles on his cheeks trembled, and Monroe said in a muffled voice: "But I can't stay in the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce any longer. Everything else can be yours, but I want to leave with my people."

"This..." Lula hesitated, thought for a while, and then nodded slowly:

"Can!"

"Can you what?"

Just then, a cold voice sounded.

"No one can take away the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce's things, no one!"

"Bang!"

The window exploded and a body was thrown in from outside.

When Monroe saw the appearance of the corpse clearly, his eyes turned red instantly and endless anger surged from his heart.

Burn your sanity completely.

"Barry!"

He couldn't help but roar:

"My child..."

"Hmph!" Emma controlled the vines to come over from outside, her face cold, and her eyes swept over Lula: "I knew you would be soft-hearted, you good-for-nothing!"

Then he said:

"No one can split up the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce. No one can take away the Chamber of Commerce's things, and the same goes for you!"

"Monroe!"

"You and your child are also part of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce. This cannot be changed even if you die."

"Ah!" Monroe screamed to the sky: "Crazy woman, I'm going to kill you!"

"boom!"

Fighting spirit surged out and rushed towards Emma.

Although his strength was slightly weaker, he was so angry at this time that he only attacked without defending, and Emma actually fell below.

"Lula!"

Emma yelled:

"What are you doing? Hurry up and do it!"

"..." Lula's eyes flickered, and she finally sighed, clenched her fists and struck at Monroe:

"Uncle Monroe, I'm sorry."

…………

The weather has been humid recently, and thick fog covers the Freeport every morning.

Now,

Even the midday fog showed no signs of dissipating.

Although it was not so dark that you could not see your hand in front of you, you could not see the figures of people several meters away.

“Crack…”

Lula opened a wooden box and placed it in front of Carl:

"These are five Great Divine Graces that I found from Monroe. I'm sorry for what happened last time."

"Hmm." Carl looked calm, picked up a Great Divine Grace and weighed it: "I heard that Madam was injured?"

"Yes." Lula nodded, "The left arm was cut off because Uncle Monroe...he used special methods, so I'm afraid it can't be reattached."

Monroe was eventually killed by the mother and daughter, but Emma was also seriously injured.

From now on I can only be a one-armed lady.

"Give my regards to the lady."

Carl put away the Great Divine Grace and walked out the door: "I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Lula opened her mouth but didn't know how to start. After all, what happened a few days ago had become a knot in her heart.

They put Carl in danger to attract attention and take the opportunity to resolve the internal conflicts of the Chamber of Commerce.

Although he killed Monroe, he also alienated Carl.

"well!"

Sighing, Lula slowly withdrew her gaze.

Now that the Chamber of Commerce has no internal conflicts, it will not be too late to find a way to ease the relationship between the two sides.

"Aya."

Carl got into the carriage:

"To Yas's tavern."

"yes."

Aya agreed, shook the reins and urged the horse forward.

The fog is getting thicker.

coastal.

A dilapidated merchant ship slowly emerged from the fog. Its broken sails and shattered decks seemed to indicate some tragic accident.

"arrive!"

"Freeport."

A figure appeared on the deck, looking far away in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
