Wizard, I Have Another World

Chapter 71 Massacre (Please add to your favorites)

Evening was Bray Foster's favorite time.

The sky was overcast, without the glaring sunlight of daytime, nor as dark as night.

The night is hazy and comfortable.

The same applies to women.

A woman who covers herself up completely can be disappointing; but without clothing to cover herself, she is too direct and lacks allure.

Only wearing a thin veil would be most suitable.

The second floor of the tavern.

Several dancers, dressed in sheer gauze, danced gracefully, their slender figures and fair, delicate skin partially obscured, captivating the audience's gaze.

"Dennis."

Bray turned to look at the young man sitting not far away and smiled:

"The gauze dresses worn by these dancers are products of the Lapu Textile Factory. The quality may not be as good as that of skilled weavers, but they are cheap and produced in large quantities, so I believe they will sell well in the Kingdom of Sak."

"Um."

Dennis is a nobleman from the Kingdom of Sak, and he accompanied Princess Duna to the Kingdom of Gangdo.

He showed great interest in the emerging textile factory.

"I heard..."

Dennis pursed her lips, a slight blush rising to her cheeks.

"Many of these clothes were designed by Mrs. Anne, who even tried them on herself."

"Haha..." Bray laughed loudly upon hearing this.

"good!"

"It was thanks to Mrs. Anne's promotion that the textile factory's clothing was accepted by the nobility so quickly."

"Of course, Dennis, I think what you're really interested in isn't the textile factory, but Mrs. Anne, isn't it?"

Dennis picked up the drink somewhat flusteredly:

No, no.

"What's there to be embarrassed about!" Bray shook his head:

"My friend, what's wrong with liking beautiful women? Even God can't stop the union of a man and a woman."

"but……"

He frowned slightly:

"Mrs. Anne is different from other women. She only chooses to meet men she deems suitable, and she doesn't care about status or position. Otherwise, with your status, Dennis, which woman couldn't you meet?"

"Really?" Dennis looked stunned.

It's clear that this young man hasn't had much experience with men and women and has no idea how to meet them.

"Don't worry."

Bray leaned forward and said:

"No one dares to question your handsomeness; perhaps Mrs. Anne is talking about you to someone right now."

"and……"

"Women all have a common weakness: they are powerless against shiny things."

He waved behind him, and Gary immediately stepped forward and placed several pieces of jewelry he had recently acquired on the table.

Bray picked up a pearl necklace and placed it in the box.

"Take this. There's no reason why we can't meet. Consider it a gift for our first meeting."

Dennis took the box, and upon seeing the pearl necklace inside, he paused, a look of hesitation on his face.

"This... seems far too valuable."

Being able to accompany his country's princess on a trip to another country, Dennis was naturally a member of the upper class in the Kingdom of Sak.

The value of the pearl necklace is immediately apparent.

Money was of no importance to him, but accepting gifts from others rashly was not in accordance with aristocratic manners.

"It's okay."

Bray waved his hand:

"Please accept this. Our friendship cannot be measured by such a small ornament."

Dennis thought for a moment, then, without making a fuss, placed the box in front of him:

"Thank you then."

This meant he was willing to treat the other person as a friend, and Bray couldn't help but laugh and offer them drinks.

"Bray!"

Just then, a man roared and rushed towards the second floor:

"Where did you hide my Maggie?"

The newcomer was aggressive, but was stopped by the guards on the second floor and forced to the ground.

"Who is this person?"

Bray frowned, his face showing displeasure:

"How are the people below doing their jobs?!"

Their pleasant mood was completely ruined by the newcomer, and Dennis also cast a cryptic glance at them.

"Young Master."

Gary leaned close to his ear and whispered:

"It seems to be Carey from the garrison, the unloved son of a baron. As for Maggie, whom he mentioned..."

"It should be the woman Kun sent over a few days ago."

"Oh!" Bray understood; he knew perfectly well where the woman was, and then waved his hand.

"Get them out of here!"

"If he keeps causing trouble, take him to the back alley and deal with him. I have important business to attend to here."

"Yes." Gary should reply:

"I will never let him bother you."

No sooner had the words been spoken than someone suddenly shouted.

"Be careful!"

"Whoosh..."

The window behind them burst open with a roar, and a figure rushed out at an astonishing speed, heading straight for the mine.

A flash of light appeared before the human figure.

"when……"

The guard who had been standing behind Bray without saying a word suddenly drew his sword and stopped the man.

骑士！

The guard's expression turned solemn:

"Young master, be careful!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and drew his sword. A cold glint flashed on the blade, and a cross of sword light appeared on the spot.

Cross Slash!

This sword technique was passed down to the royal guard of the Kingdom of Gondor and refined by the knights of the Papacy, eventually taking its final form.

It is a knight-level swordsmanship that combines both offense and defense.

"bite……"

Taro Daigo swung his sword to meet the attack.

The two exchanged blows quickly in the confined space, their swords flashing and the floor shattering into pieces.

"drink!"

Da Wu let out a low shout, his eyes suddenly widening, and a sharp aura surged forth from his body.

Battle spirit!

"interesting."

Surrounded by several guards, Bray remained unmoved by the imminent fighting, instead asking curiously:

"How could an unloved good-for-nothing command such a master?"

"Ayu!"

"exist."

A petite woman walked out of the crowd.

The woman had an ordinary appearance, like a teenage girl who had not yet fully developed, and the staff's attire was even more unremarkable.

"Take him down."

"Yes."

A woman should be able to disappear from the spot in a flash.

骑士！

This unassuming woman was actually a formal knight, and she could also unleash her battle aura.

However, unlike Da Wu, her battle aura was more restrained, but when it erupted, it was even more fierce and ruthless.

Like an assassin in the night.

Ayu's weapon is a dagger. Her movements are unpredictable and ever-changing, with a cold glint in her eyes. She and her companions maintain a firm position on the top.

"Ding ding..."

"puff!"

Under the combined attack of the two knights, Daigo was caught off guard and his leg was slashed open by a dagger.

His expression changed drastically.

The wound wasn't large, but strangely, even with a knight's powerful physique, blood still flowed out uncontrollably.

In the blink of an eye, the entire trouser leg was stained with blood.

As his blood was lost, his strength weakened, making it increasingly difficult for him to resist.

"Keep alive."

Bray gave a cold smile:

"For a knight to carry out an assassination, there may be someone else pulling the strings behind the scenes. Interrogate him carefully after he is captured."

"Yes."

Ayu should be.

While responding, his hands continued to move, clearly indicating that he still had energy to spare.

"what!"

Da Wu roared, and his long sword suddenly changed from its initial defensive stance to a wide and sweeping motion, as if he were about to fight the two of them to the death.

"Don't panic."

Ayu's expression was calm, her eyes fixed on Dawu:

"He wanted to escape."

She had seen too many of these tactics: using bluffing to force the opponent to retreat and create an opportunity for escape.

see,

Ayu not only did not back down, but her offensive became even more rapid.

Da Wu brandished his long sword wildly, his eyes filled with despair, and he secretly regretted his impulsiveness.

Just then.

An invisible pressure suddenly appeared throughout the entire area.

Not only the three who fought, but everyone else also had drastic changes in expression, as if a natural disaster was about to strike.

"Be careful!"

The middle-aged guard beside Dennis looked serious and pulled Dennis backward.

next moment.

"boom!"

The tavern's roof collapsed and shattered with a loud crash.

A metal giant over three meters tall fell heavily, accompanied by shattered bricks and pieces of wood.

The entire second floor trembled.

The giant was covered from head to toe in iron armor, with only a pair of cold, murderous brown eyes visible.

"Bray!"

The metal giant spoke in a muffled voice, his voice like thunder rolling through the clouds, an invisible pressure that made one's heart pound.

Even Da Wu and the others subconsciously stopped fighting, and everyone tensed up to look at the newcomer.

"Bray Foster!"

Karl shifted his gaze to Bray, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Is it you?"

"Who are you?"

Bray's throat bobbed, and he instinctively backed away:

"I...I haven't offended you, have I?"

"Hmph!" Karl snorted coldly, his gaze falling on Gary again, his eyes suddenly blazing with murderous intent.

"die!"

With a jolt beneath his feet, countless floorboards shattered on the spot, and his massive figure charged at Gali like a low mountain.

With a sweep of his hand, a gust of wind suddenly rose from the flat ground.

"Bang!"

Before Gary could even scream, he was slapped and sent flying, his bones breaking in mid-air, before he died instantly.

The corpse slammed against the thick walls of the tavern, creating a dense network of cracks.

Then it slowly slid down to the ground.

"Young Master!"

Ayu screamed:

"Get out of the way!"

After killing Gary with a single blow, Carl turned and pounced straight at Bray.

The guards in front of him turned pale, and although they mustered their fighting spirit to charge forward, it was to no avail.

Faced with the terrifying power of the metal giant, the group was like overconfident playthings, utterly vulnerable.

"boom!"

The terrifying force blasted through the second floor, sending several figures flying high into the air.

However, as the most favored youngest son of the Foster family, he is always protected by a knight.

While Karl was knocking the others away, a sharp sword light suddenly appeared and pierced towards the giant's throat.

at the same time.

Ayu and another knight also left Taichiro Daigo behind and rushed towards where Karl was.

The three knights joined forces to attack.

And we're going all out!

Facing the three attackers, Karl remained expressionless, only slightly crouching down, his life force burning like a furnace within him.

The Ring of Protection!

Combat Technique - Bloom!

"boom!"

A shockwave, visible to the naked eye, emanated from Karl, repelling everything in its vicinity.

An invisible force swept across all directions in an instant.

It exploded like a high-explosive bomb.

The tavern was mostly intact on the outside, but everything inside was smashed to pieces by the shockwave.

second floor,

It has completely vanished.

"puff!"

The three knights coughed up blood and staggered backward, their spirits instantly weakened, and they could no longer even hold their weapons.

"Hurry up!"

Dennis's bodyguard looked horrified and pulled him back frantically, leaping out of the tavern in a few flashes.

"Uncle Fred."

Dennis took a deep breath and asked:

"What was that thing just now?"

people?

Where can you find someone that tall?

I've heard that there's a kingdom of giants west of Cologne, but I've only heard about it and never actually seen it.

"It's a person."

Fred said in a muffled voice:

"He must have used some kind of secret technique to make his body gigantic. If we're only talking about strength, that person is probably comparable to an ordinary great knight."

"Hiss..." Dennis gasped.

"Even you are no match for him?"

"I definitely can't." Fred smiled wryly.

"Even when I was young and at the peak of my strength, I could never be his match."

"Not just strength..."

He thought for a moment and continued:

"The martial arts technique that person just displayed was also quite remarkable, at least a Grand Knight level technique, or even..."

"Possibly legendary!"

Even when the three knights joined forces, they were no match for their opponent; such strength was already top-tier for a knight.

Legendary lineages represent even more terrifying power.

"Young Master."

Fred spoke in a low voice:

"You'd better not have any contact with the Foster family. If you want to do business, you can find other avenues."

"If you wish to see Mrs. Anne..."

He gently touched his forehead and sighed:

"We can also think of other ways."

Mrs. Anne's charm was irresistible; not only her young master, but even he was captivated after just one glance at her.

"Um."

Dennis nodded and said:

"Bray, I'm afraid we won't be able to find him even if we wanted to."

…………

Inside the tavern.

"puff!"

"Bang!"

Karl waved his hands, his eyes cold, and struck repeatedly, killing one guard after another.

Until everyone else completely breaks down.

He stepped up to Bray Foster, about to clap his hand as usual.

"Wait a moment!"

Carey suddenly spoke up:

"Could you wait a moment?"

"Wait until I ask him something, then you can kill him?"

"Sigh!" Taichiro Daigo looked speechless, pulling him back several steps, and scolded him in a low voice:

"Are you out of your mind?"

The armored giant killed people like mowing grass, his eyes devoid of any emotion; he was a killing machine.

While everyone else had already fled the tavern, you were the one eagerly rushing forward.

What if I anger the other party...

"interesting."

Carl turned his head and looked at Carey.

My friend is usually timid and fearful, so what's wrong with him today? He's unusually bold.

Despite being nervous and scared, she still mustered up the courage to speak.

"OK!"

He grabbed Bray and threw him to the other man:

"hurry up."

As he spoke, he casually pulled a tablecloth from the ruins and began to lightly sweep up anything in the area that could be exchanged for money.

Money bags and weapons are the key items.

"Thanks!"

Kerry was overjoyed:

"Thanks!"

"explain!"

He held Bray down and asked loudly:

"Where did you put my Maggie?"

"snort!"

Bray's face turned deathly pale, and he gritted his teeth and groaned softly.

Even though he knew he might not escape his fate today, he still looked at Kerry with disdain.

"you……"

"Will you tell me or not?"

Enraged, Carey clenched his fist and punched the other man in the stomach.

"Say it!"

"Quickly, tell me, where is my Maggie?"

"Ahem..." Da Wu coughed twice, and after being surprised that Karl had actually handed the person over to Kerry, he whispered:

"That's not how you ask someone a question."

"Do you need any help?"

"Ah!" Kerry was taken aback, then nodded emphatically:

"it is good."

Daigo chuckled softly, pulled out a sharp dagger from his person, and slowly approached Bree.

He didn't say anything, but the fear in Bray's eyes grew deeper and deeper.

sometimes.

Silent oppression is far more destructive to a person's will than physical violence.

…………

Soon after.

A group of uniformed police officers and patrol officers arrived at the scene, led by Inspector General Gove.

Dina and a few others accompanied them.

Goff's expression turned extremely ugly as he scanned the room.

The tavern was reduced to ruins, and corpses were carried out and placed on the open ground outside.

None of the corpses were intact; most looked as if they had been blasted by a giant hammer, with the flesh and blood at the fatal points reduced to dust.

"Chief."

Diana spoke in a low voice:

"A total of eleven people died, all from the Foster family, including Bray Foster."

"Um."

Goff took a deep breath and addressed the man who was kneeling and weeping before Bray's body:

"Xize, my friend, please accept my condolences."

"We will definitely find the murderer and bring him to justice. We won't let Little Bray's death be in vain."

"Goff." The head of the Foster family, Caesar Foster, looked up, his eyes bloodshot.

Can I trust you?

"Of course!" Goff's expression was grave.

"The murderer was so brutal; there needs to be an explanation, both for you and for the people of the city."

He further emphasized:

Even if the perpetrator is powerful, they cannot escape the punishment of the law!

"That would be best." Xize lowered his head, his hands clenched tightly, his voice choked with emotion:

"I want to take the body with me."

"Of course." Goff took a step back and gestured.

"That's your right."

"Sir!"

"Sir!"

Kerry pushed through the crowd and rushed toward Diana.

"What are you doing?"

Diana pulled him aside and scolded him in a low voice:

"Are you aware that this matter could affect your family? The Chief of Staff will be questioning you later."

Carey was present when the incident occurred, and some witnesses even claimed that he had spoken with Bray before his death.

All these events suggest that Carey is highly suspicious.

of course.

Diana knew her subordinate's personality well; he was neither capable nor able to accomplish such a major task.

"Sir."

Carey didn't explain, but said urgently:

"Bray is secretly involved in the human trafficking business, and one of my... friends was arrested by him."

"They're currently being held in a warehouse in the north of the city."

"Oh!" Diana raised an eyebrow, glanced back at the corpses in the room, and waved her hand, saying:

"Let's talk about it later."

"We can't wait!" Kerry exclaimed urgently.

"They could send people away at any time. I don't know what they do with people they capture, but no one captured by Bray has ever come back alive."

"Sir..."

"You have to help me."

"Understood." With lives at stake, Diana's expression turned grave.

"I'll take a few people over to take a look."

the other side.

Xize carried his son's body toward the carriage, and as he moved further away from the crowd, the grief on his face gradually disappeared.

There was only coldness.

"master."

The butler spoke in a low voice:

Please accept my condolences.

"I just want to know," Xize said in a deep voice.

"Was Bray's death because someone discovered something?"

"No," the butler hurriedly shook his head.

"Young Master is only in charge of a few minor matters. If he is found out, it won't just be him who will be targeted; our entire family will be affected."

"It's very likely a personal grudge."

"Personal grudge?" Xize narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on Kerry and Diana, who were talking to each other not far away.

"Notify those spiders to move the people away quickly; someone might be investigating."

"in addition……"

"By the way, tell them that Archbishop Antonio has likely already quietly left Signoria, and now is a good time to make a move."

"Yes," the butler replied.

the next day.

The murder at the pub yesterday is already common knowledge throughout the city, and the story about Carey is being widely circulated among colleagues, even reaching Carl.

"So, you really do have a first love? And you were borrowing money from your colleagues to save her?"

Looking at Kerry's timid face, it's hard to imagine that such a love story would happen to him.

"She's my fiancée!"

Carey emphasized this, then covered his head with his hands, looking utterly dejected:

Where is she now?

"Didn't find it?" Carl was taken aback.

"Didn't they say Bray already told you the location?"

"Yes, I did." Kerry nodded.

"It was a warehouse of the Chengbei Textile Factory, but we only found some spider webs there."

There's nobody here!

Spider web?

Karl frowned, subconsciously thinking of the followers of the spider goddess Elise, who seemed to have some connection with the fire-stealers of Cologne.

"Kerry!"

At this moment, Diana walked over:

"The Chief of Staff is looking for you."

"Yes."

Kerry stood up dejectedly.

"Have you heard? The murderer is a giant over three meters tall, wearing a suit of armor that completely covers his body."

"How can someone be that tall?"

"Yes! If the murderer were really that tall, he would have been discovered long ago. It must be a rumor."

The crowd murmured among themselves.

Compared to the gossip surrounding Kerry, there are more rumors about the murderer.

Everything was normal at first.

Gradually.

It is several meters tall, covered in hair, and its weapon is a large wooden club that can collapse houses with a single blow.

I don't know if they're talking about savages or giants.

Carl shook his head, put aside his distracting thoughts, and continued flipping through the book.

To him, these were all trivial matters of daily life, and it didn't matter even if Bray Foster had followers of evil gods behind him.

He was about to leave Signoria, and everything that happened there would be none of his concern, so he naturally didn't need to pay attention to it.

However, there has been progress on the Free Port issue.

…………

"Dried fallen leaves and flowers, rotten grease, dried fruit..."

Following the instructions, Aya added each ingredient to the decoction pot in order, stirring them systematically and checking the heat from time to time.

"The paralyzing agent works very slowly, but it is extremely effective against giant creatures and can also be used to heal people."

Carl, with his hands behind his back, explained from the side:

"Some people get injured and need their skin and flesh cut open or bones scraped, in which case they need to take anesthetic drugs to relieve the pain."

"Uncle," Aya said.

"I think even if someone bought the paralyzing drug, they would use it to hunt sea monsters, and the possibility of it being used to save people is unlikely."

The Endless Sea is home to many enormous sea beasts, and hunting them is often very troublesome.

Taking medication is also inconvenient.

But paralyzing drugs at least offer an alternative approach.

"Um."

Karl nodded, not rejecting the idea:

"You only need to know what the potion can be used for; you don't need to worry about what people buy it for."

"Yes," Aya replied, then added:

"Sister Susan from the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce came yesterday and invited you to join the Chamber."

"The Dragon King Merchant Guild can provide a shop in the Herb Market for free. They can also sell the potions we make in their shop later, on the condition that our potions are supplied to their guild first."

That makes sense.

Karl nodded slowly.

He now concocts more than a dozen kinds of potions, most of which are healing potions, and some of which have special properties.

like,

Refractory material.

Paralyzing agents.

Fragrant herbs that can slightly increase the body's defenses, etc.

"The Sea God Society has also arrived. They are quite domineering and demand that we sell the potions we refine through them, but they will share a portion of the profits with us."

Aya said:

"But they can provide the uncle with a swimming seal, or they can exchange it for other seals of the same level."

Karl's eyes lit up.

"Knock knock!"

A knock came at the door.

"Uncle."

Xiao Nan's voice came from outside:

"The Brotherhood of the Sickles wants to see you."

The Sickle Brotherhood, the Sea God Society, and the Dragon King Merchant Guild are the three largest forces in Free Port.

The latter two have already been here, so the former is no exception.

Ask for collection!
