Chapter 48 begins

knight,

The existence of an ordinary person after a life leap.

Once you become a knight, you will be completely free from common diseases, and your lifespan will be extended to a certain extent.

In Signoria, it is rare to see people over fifty years old; those who are are usually wealthy nobles or merchants who are good at maintaining their health.

It is difficult for ordinary people to live a long life.

Especially in times of scarcity of medical resources, a simple cold or infection could easily cost a person their life.

And the knights,

Unless they die in battle, they can generally live to be over eighty years old, which is equivalent to several decades longer than the average person.

To become a knight, a life potion is essential.

Obtaining the life potion in Signoria is extremely difficult, requiring not only strength but also a certain background. It would take an individual a long time to find a way out on their own.

Carl has not yet seen any hope.

just now……

All you need to do is kill the ferocious beast.

If a workman wants to be good, he must first sharpen his weapon.

Even when hunting ferocious beasts or half-dead creatures, ensuring one's own safety is of utmost importance.

Karl arrived at the church early in the morning and offered ten gold pounds to the Lord of Dawn as a sign of his piety.

The reason gold coins were not used was that ten gold pounds would appear heavier and more conspicuous than one gold coin.

"By the Lord of Dawn..."

He spoke with a sorrowful expression:

"Father Vic, a friend of mine was unfortunately tainted by evil spirits while passing through a swamp and is now bedridden. I've heard that holy water can bestow divine blessings and remove the evil spirits from one's body."

"The merciful Lord of Dawn would surely not bear to see His faithful followers die in agony."

"Dear Baron Karl," Father Vic said with a compassionate expression.

"God so loved the world!"

"I certainly can't bear to see believers suffer, but there are always false believers who try to deceive God's blessings. God can distinguish between the true and the false, but I don't have that ability."

So how do you prove your friend isn't a false believer?

"..." Karl opened his mouth, then said helplessly:

"My friend's devotion to the Lord of Dawn is beyond question; he is willing to donate a gold coin to improve the church's environment."

"A gold coin?"

Upon hearing this, Father Vic smiled and picked up a wooden spoon used for serving food from the side, then went to the statue.

In front of the statue is a water vat about one meter square.

He scooped up a spoonful of water.

"This is God's blessing!"

Karl blinked. He had learned from Sibel that the Holy Water of the Church could dispel evil spirits and was especially effective against half-dead creatures and ghosts.

But unexpectedly, the so-called holy water was just this water vat. If it were so readily available, wouldn't there be as much as you could want?

of course.

He did not doubt what Hippel said.

"Father."

Looking at the wooden spoon, which was no bigger than a mouthful, Karl said slowly:

"My friend can offer ten gold coins."

"Ten?" Father Vic's eyes lit up, and he picked up a large bowl from the side to show it off:

"This is also a blessing from God."

Carl rolled his eyes. Your god is really realistic!

Centered around the Raqqa market, several surrounding blocks were all placed under the protection of the city guard.

Being there, you feel safe and secure.

However, to enter, one must pay a certain amount of black stones, or provide proof of killing ferocious beasts or half-dead creatures.

Aya found a temporary base nearby.

Because they couldn't buy wisteria, Xiao Nan's condition worsened, and she showed initial signs of deterioration. If she wasn't treated soon, it might be too late to save her.

"Come."

Carl helped Xiao Nan up and gave him the holy water to drink:

"Swallow carefully."

"Gurgle..."

Xiao Nan swallowed the holy water instinctively, and her complexion improved shortly after swallowing it.

There's a chance!

Karl felt relieved; it seemed that the holy water worked in any world.

"Very good."

Aya was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes:

"Xiao Nan is alright!"

"Um."

Carl nodded:

"Everything's fine for now. Let's talk about cooperation next."

"Uncle, just say the word, we'll follow your arrangements," Aya said hastily, waving her hand.

"That won't do." Carl shook his head.

"There are six of you, and you'll be taking on most of the risks, so you must be adequately compensated."

The people in the room were all core members of Aya's team.

Such as Xiao Nan, Dana, and Hausman...

Each of them had lived in Black City for several years. They might not be strong, but they each had their own ways of protecting themselves and should not be underestimated.

"so."

Karl opened his mouth:

"For any operation I participate in, I will take 40% of the profits and you will take 60%. When I'm not around, you can discuss it yourselves."

"how?"

Aya's eyes sparkled.

The others exchanged glances, all sensing the other's interest.

"Can!"

After a few people discussed it quietly, Aya nodded and said:

"When does the uncle plan to make his move?"

"No rush."

Karl waved his hand:

"The situation in the city is still unclear. Rushing in rashly could be dangerous. Let the others scout ahead first."

Those who don't have enough food reserves will definitely be the first to succumb.

"in addition……"

Carl looked at Aya:

"At times like these, all kinds of weapons and armor, anything that can increase one's strength, will go up in price."

"Ask me how much beast meat I can exchange for my magic seal?"

"Um."

Aya nodded emphatically.

"Be careful during the talks, lest someone resort to desperate measures," Carl instructed again.

To prevent people from paying money but not doing their jobs, the city guards have banned private transactions during this period. Anyone found doing so will be severely punished, and there is a generous reward for whistleblowers.

of course.

Such incidents will decrease, but they can never be completely eradicated.

The next day.

Aya brought the news, and the reason for the quick reply is that items that increase strength are indeed in high demand right now.

"High-grade exotic beast meat is extremely rare; even the city guards don't have much of it. They can only offer two portions at most."

"Add another twenty servings of ordinary exotic beast meat."

"Two portions?" Karl's eyes flickered slightly.

Previously, there was only one portion available, and there was no room for negotiation; however, the quantity of ordinary beast meat was much more negotiable.

"Say yes!"

Karl said:

"Is the transaction okay?"

"Absolutely no problem," Aya assured.

"This is the channel introduced by old Lev. If there really is a problem, we can use his own seal as collateral."

The sign had a shelf life, and the two sides reached a deal that afternoon, with Karl acquiring a box of exotic meat.

As for hunting ferocious beasts...

He remained unhurried.

A few more days passed.

Name: Karl (Lord of the Fragments of the Divine Realm)

Physical condition: 0.89

Mental Power: 1.51

Source quality: 0

Occupation: Knight's Squire, Novice Wizard Apprentice

The effects of high-grade alien beast meat are astonishing; after consuming just one serving, Karl's physique improved by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.

Reaching the peak Knight Squire stage of 0.9 is just around the corner.

My mental strength is also steadily increasing.

Meanwhile, the situation in the city gradually became clear. Under the leadership of the city guards, the people of the city began to counterattack, and the generous rewards aroused everyone's enthusiasm.

The ferocious beasts and half-dead creatures near the Rakka market were completely cleared out.

"I heard that the city lord has bought a large number of slaves outside and is escorting them to Black City to fill the gaps in the miners' numbers."

"In addition, mercenaries were hired to kill the ferocious beasts."

Aya said:

"Once they arrive, hunting the ferocious beasts will be much more difficult, and the exchange price will also increase."

"Um."

Carl, who was crouching opposite, looked up upon hearing this:

"It's time we got moving."
