Wizard, I Have Another World

Chapter 69 Beast Pill

The terrain of Vitley is high in the south and low in the north.

The further north you go, the closer you get to the coastline, the denser the moisture becomes, and the muddier the ground becomes.

The powerful mostly lived on the higher southern side, while the poor and fishermen lived near the water.

This is a huge city!

Its area is so vast that it is comparable to several Black Cities.

The population is so large that it is impossible to count.

The Herb Market is the closest market to the coastline, with streets stretching for miles filled with vendors.

every day,

The seafood traded here can fill more than a hundred fishing boats.

Some of these were consumed in Vitley, while others were transported to other regions by merchants.

After meeting up with Aya and the others, Karl arrived at the market after a brief encounter.

Next, they need to assess the environment and determine their future plans.

"The lord of Vitley City is the legendary knight Sodan, who is said to have the blood of Archduke Ferdinand."

Aya led Karl forward, saying as they walked:

"A hundred years ago, Lord Sodan killed the deep-sea demon whale in the endless sea, widening the sea routes, which led to the prosperity of Vitley City."

Only legends can live past 100!

Therefore, the strength of the Lord of Sodan is beyond doubt.

"The city lord has no more than a hundred guards and has not set up city guards in the city."

"Everything here belongs to freedom!"

"There are no taxes, no officials, no exploitation, which is why it is called a free port."

Aya's tone was somewhat agitated.

Having grown up in Black City, what she witnessed most was the abuse of ordinary mine slaves by the city guards.

There is no freedom in Black City!

That's why, after coming into contact with the "environment" of the free port, one feels genuinely comfortable.

After hearing about the legendary deeds of the city lord Sodan, she developed a deep admiration for him.

What a great person!

Only then will they be willing to relinquish their rights and return freedom to ordinary people!

"Aside from some people contracting waterborne diseases and the somewhat poor environment, this city has almost no flaws!"

When the topic of waterborne diseases came up, Aya's excited expression turned somber.

"Yeah?"

Karl's expression remained unchanged as he spoke calmly:

"What are your plans for the future?"

"To survive in Free Port, you must be able to swim; we're still learning to dive," Aya said with a wry smile.

"This is not easy to learn!"

"Actually, we may be used to living underground in Black City and don't have the natural affinity for water."

As if recalling some horrific scene, her face showed helplessness, but then her spirits lifted:

"We originally planned to get a boat and see if we could make a living from the sea, but now that you're here, uncle, maybe we can try doing business."

"Business?" Karl glanced around and shook his head.

"The supplies I can provide might have some value in Black City, but here resources are abundant, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get ahead."

"Let's open a pharmacy!"

"A pharmacy?" Aya's eyes lit up.

"The medicines that the uncle makes are incredibly effective. If he opened a pharmacy, he would definitely attract patients."

"Um."

Carl nodded:

"As long as you have enough materials, making potions is not difficult. If you can read, you can get started quickly."

He needs a base in Vitley City to facilitate the purchase of witchcraft materials, but he cannot stay there indefinitely.

You need a helper.

Moreover, it's right in the middle of learning medicine, and opening a pharmacy would also be beneficial for practicing medicine making.

Aya clasped her hands together, unable to hide her excitement.

If one can learn to make potions, it's like having the means to settle down and make a living in a free port.

"Uncle."

She took a deep breath:

"I definitely won't let you down!"

"arrive!"

As they spoke, the two stopped in front of a shop with four storefronts. Aya quickly stepped forward:

"We have a big customer! Call your owner out!"

"This is the Dragon King Merchant Guild's shop. They can get anything you want to buy."

As he spoke, a peculiar expression appeared on his face.

Carl quickly understood what that expression meant.

"They've arrived." Hearing the call, a woman dressed in fish-scale armor stepped forward and bowed to Karl.

"My name is Susan, and I'm the owner of this shop. The stock may not be complete, but I will do my best to meet the needs of my customers."

The woman's soft armor was extremely form-fitting, covering only her vitals, leaving her completely naked, somewhat resembling the bikinis Karl remembered.

Smooth, fish-scale-like scales extended from his upper body down to his crotch, shimmering as he swayed his waist.

Her bold clothing style, graceful figure, and bright blue eyes all leave a deep impression.

Even passersby couldn't help but stare, which explains Aya's strange expression.

Wearing a bikini to attract customers is indeed...

Very special!

"Karl." Karl suppressed the ripples in his heart and returned the greeting with gentlemanly manners:

"I would like to sell a few Dharma Seals."

"oh!"

Susan's eyes lit up:

"Please have a seat. May I ask what kind of magic seal your esteemed guest is looking to sell? Each magic seal has a different price."

Carl didn't reply, and simply opened the package.

"Splash..."

Seven mudras were scattered on the table.

"Night vision, ground hearing, iron wall, wind repellency..." As the shop owner, Susan was naturally very knowledgeable.

The seals were counted one by one.

"Iron Wall costs 800 Divine Grace Coins, and the others cost 700, for a total of 5,000 Divine Grace Coins. What do you think, sir?"

Five thousand?

This price is similar to other places.

Karl neither agreed nor disagreed, but took out a Divine Grace Coin and asked curiously:

"I once saw a book about a fist-sized 'Divine Grace Coin,' I wonder if it's real?"

"You're referring to the Great Divine Grace," Susan said with a smile.

"The Great Divine Grace is a gift from the gods, and the current Divine Grace Coin is made by refining the Great Divine Grace."

"That kind of thing is priceless and only collected by truly powerful people. I've only ever heard of it."

Great God, may I receive your grace?

That's certainly true to its name!

Carl then changed the subject:

"If I'd like to acquire a magic sign, does Miss Susan have any recommendations?"

"oh!"

Susan's beautiful eyes flickered as she carefully examined Karl before saying:

"The most common powerful hand seals are Steel Body, Eagle Eye, and Swimming... I would recommend Swimming."

"Once this magic seal is refined, one can swim in the water like a fish, making it even more suitable for the port of freedom."

"pity!"

She spread her hands:

"The Swimming Seal is in high demand and usually only circulates among acquaintances. Steel Body and Hawkeye can occasionally be consigned in shops."

"If the customer really wants it, I can apply to the Chamber of Commerce and notify you as soon as I have any news."

"As for the more powerful magic seals, they will not be sold privately."

"Not now?" Carl asked.

"No." Susan shook her head.

"Not only swimming, but also Steel Body and Hawkeye."

"Then forget it." Karl shook his head and sighed.

"I am a knight, is there anything I can use?"

knight?

Susan was jolted awake.

She stood up, walked around the shop, and took out several items, placing them one by one in front of Karl.

"Storm Blade!"

Picking up a curved knife, Susan said solemnly:

"In the endless sea there is a creature called the Storm Seahorse, which can move freely through storms."

"This sword was forged from the horn of the Storm Seahorse. When wielded with battle aura, it can generate small storms."

"Price: 3,000 Divine Grace Coins!"

With a gentle wave of his hand, a gust of wind flew out of thin air, sweeping across several meters before slowly disappearing.

nice one!

Karl's eyes lit up, but there was also a hint of regret.

If a wizard skilled in crafting enchanted items were to use this weapon, its power would certainly not be so weak.

"Phantom Fish Trident!"

Susan picked up a trident about a foot long and swung it lightly in her hand with surprising skill.

"Some say that the Illusion Fish has dragon blood, but I don't know if that's true or not. However, it can change size like a dragon."

"The same goes for this trident."

"Snap!"

She thrust forward suddenly, and the trident, which was originally only a foot long, suddenly grew larger and longer, transforming into a giant object nearly three meters long.

"When fighting, the weapon suddenly grows longer, which can definitely turn the tide of battle. Price: 3,800 Divine Grace Coins."

Carl shook his head.

In his opinion, this thing was not as useful as the Storm Blade. The weapon suddenly becoming longer could only be used against the weak. The real strong had extremely strong combat reaction, so the chance of it being effective was not high.

Moreover, what is called sudden is actually not fast.

"Jellyfish beads".

Susan picked up a pearl and introduced it:

"This is a pearl produced inside the ghost jellyfish. Grinding it into powder and swallowing it can cure most injuries."

"Fifty Divine Grace Coins per pill!"

At last.

She opened a wooden box about the size of her palm.

Ok?

Karl's eyes flickered slightly.

Inside the wooden box were meatballs about the size of bird eggs, dark in color and with a faint meaty aroma.

"Kyuumaru".

Susan spoke:

"There are many forces in Free Port that can produce Beast Balls, but the Beast Balls produced by our Dragon King Merchant Guild are of the highest quality."

"These beast pills are made from the meat of exotic beasts and can help knights train. Each pill costs three Divine Grace Coins."

"There is another type, made from high-quality exotic beast meat. Each pill costs twenty Divine Grace Coins, and the shop is temporarily out of stock."

Karl leaned forward and, after receiving permission, gently picked up a beast pellet and examined it closely.

That's right!

The box that Hal, the commander of the Black City Guard, was carrying was the Beast Pill that the other party had mentioned.

but.

There are some differences in the details.

He then asked:

What's the difference between beast balls made from high-quality exotic beast meat and those made from ordinary exotic beast meat?

"The difference is huge!" Susan laughed.

"The effects are quite different. However, high-quality beast pills have too much vitality for ordinary people. Taking them will not only fail to temper the body, but will also be harmful."

"Well……"

"High-quality animal meatballs have a darker color and a milder taste, and if you taste them carefully, they even have a hint of sweetness."

Karl's eyes flickered.

That's right!

The box I have is made of high-quality animal pills!

soon.

Susan watched Carl and his companion leave with a smile, then waved behind her, and someone immediately came to her side.

"who is he?"

"Never seen it before."

The visitor shook his head:

"The little girl's name is Aya. She fled from Black City. Among her group is a young man named Xiaonan, who has the potential to become a knight."

"Having the potential to become a knight doesn't mean you can become one." Susan licked her lips.

"Karl..."

"Let's try to win him over. A full-fledged knight is worth the price we pay."

"Yes." The person who came should reply:

"I'll go investigate his background."

"Um."

Susan nodded slowly.

Sibel also knew little about crafting enchanted items, but had few opportunities to try it herself.

even,

Even in Adolf's collection of books, there are few records on this subject.

Upon hearing that Carl wanted to find information on this topic, Hiber showed great enthusiasm and recommended several books.

Talk,

If Karl makes a purchase, he can communicate with her, and she is more willing to buy certain valuable items.

A strong sense of curiosity is an essential quality for every wizard apprentice.

"Witchcraft Materials: Dragonborn Volume One," "Speculations on the Influence of the Astral Sphere on the Material World—by Grandal, a Second-Circle Wizard," "The Search for Magical Creatures in the Ferro Empire," "The Life of a Legendary Blacksmith"...

"The astral plane and the material world are two sides of the same coin; places closer to the astral plane are more likely to give rise to creatures or resources with special abilities."

"It is also very beneficial for a wizard's practice."

"A very small number of ethnic groups do not have reproductive isolation, and the dragon race is one of them. If dragon descendants have dragon blood, they will definitely have special abilities, and their bodies can be used as raw materials for demonized items."

"The Flaming Mountains of the Kolón family are rich in various materials containing fire attributes; there is a wind cave in the Grand Duke Sak's territory, which is suspected to be related to the legendary wind spirits... There are spiritual creatures beneath the Black Swamp..."

Inside the police station office, Carl flipped through thick books, a sense of感慨 (gan3 kai3, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection) washing over him:

"Knowledge is also a kind of wealth."

Before this, he didn't even know what the astral plane was, and in fact, he still doesn't quite understand it now. He only knows that it is a plane different from the material world, and that a lot of wizarding knowledge is related to it.

As for magical materials, they are also divided into various categories.

Dragonborn alone are divided into seven types of dragons, ancient dragons, half-dragons, and so on...

"In the eyes of wizards, most supernatural powers are related to the astral plane, including legendary gods."

"In certain special regions, because they border the astral projection, the creatures there have a high probability of possessing certain special abilities."

"Well……"

"Isn't this a spiritual vein?"

"The areas closest to the star boundary are spiritual veins; the closer you are, the more abundant the spiritual energy, and the faster your cultivation speed?"

Karl stroked his chin, lost in thought.

"Karl!"

A familiar voice rang out:

"It seems you really intend to become a polymath. What book are you reading this time?"

Carey walked over and flipped through the book cover:

"blacksmith?"

"You're not going to study anatomy anymore?"

"Study." Karl closed the book.

There's an old saying in my hometown: "It's always good to have more skills."

"Really?" Kerry shrugged.

"I've only ever heard another proverb: 'It's better to hold a spear than to carry ten iron swords.'"

"Only by specializing in one area can you succeed!"

"Well……"

As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on the book cover when he suddenly felt dizzy, lightheaded, and nauseous.

He gasped for breath several times before recovering.

"It seems I'm really not suited for studying."

Kerry shook his head:

"Just reading feels like being drunk, so if I were to study seriously, wouldn't that kill me?"

Karl chuckled.

The book in his hand was imbued with a slight dizziness spell; anyone without a talent for witchcraft would feel unwell upon reading it.

This was also to prevent certain knowledge from becoming known to ordinary people, and incidentally to select people with wizarding talent.

"Oh, right."

Coming to his senses, Carey spoke in a low voice:

Do you have any money on you?

Ok?

Karl frowned slightly and asked:

"I heard you've borrowed money from quite a few people lately?"

"Who said that?" Kai's expression changed drastically, and he spoke angrily:

"Stop gossiping! It's not like I'm not going to pay you back!"

"Heh..." Karl chuckled and shook his head, not pressing the matter further.

"Tell me, how much do you want to borrow?"

"This..." Kerry hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Sixty pounds. I'll definitely pay you back after this period."

"Sixty pounds?" Karl raised an eyebrow.

The amount of money wasn't much to him, but the other party knew his family situation and was even more aware that he was about to leave Signoria and was still borrowing money. If he weren't familiar with Carey's personality, he would have thought that the other party was deliberately borrowing money and had no intention of paying it back.

"Karl".

Kaili pleaded:

"I really need it urgently. If you have the money, please do me a favor. Our friendship is worth more than just sixty pounds, isn't it?"

"...Alright." Karl sighed and pulled out eight gold coins from his pocket:

"Eighty pounds, the extra twenty pounds is a small token of my appreciation, but could you tell me what you're going to do with it?"

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Kerry hurriedly took the gold coins and stuffed them into his pocket.

"Don't worry, I definitely didn't do anything bad. I'll give you an explanation after this is all over."

Without waiting for Karl to speak, she hurriedly walked outside:

"I'm leaving now!"

Watching Carey leave, Carl shook his head slightly, then turned his gaze back to the book in his hands. He did not sense any deceitful emotion from Carey.

Perhaps,

We really need to get down to business.
