Wizard, I Have Another World

Chapter 85 Berserk Potion (Please add to your favorites)

To the east of the Herb Market, there is an open area that was occupied by the Dragon King Merchant Guild years ago for storing goods.

Food, fabric, fishing gear...

Various materials were sorted and stacked.

As one of the three major powers in Free Port, the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce is particularly skilled in trade, and its range of goods is unparalleled.

The largest and most numerous items are the fish caught at sea.

Before we even got close, the strong smell of fish hit us first, and various shouts rose and fell.

The fishermen are unclean.

Especially fishermen at sea.

Each voyage at sea lasts anywhere from ten days to several months, and all necessities of life must be met on the relatively cramped ship.

Over time,

They will have an unpleasant odor that is difficult to wash off.

Urged on by members of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce, barefoot and shirtless fishermen carried various kinds of seafood.

The lives of the lower classes here are not much better than in Black City.

One was a slave in name only, while the other claimed to be free.

The yard floor was covered in mud, and small fish and shrimp could be seen jumping around in it from time to time, splashing up some mud.

Susan took out a handkerchief, covered her mouth and nose, and went inside.

It can be seen that,

She doesn't like it here.

"arrive."

Stopping in a relatively spacious courtyard, Susan pointed to an iron cage in front of her:

"This is it."

"Corrupt Cancer!"

Karl stared intently.

The cage contained a giant crab, which was two meters tall and nearly five meters long.

It's like a low-lying house.

Its shell is covered with moss and silt, and its thick, sturdy carapace gives it a sense of indestructibility.

What's most striking are its two enormous pincers.

Like two giant iron pincers, sharp and powerful, the closer you get, the more you can feel that intense sense of oppression.

Karl had no doubt that these pincers could easily clamp a knight in two.

Perhaps because it had been away from the sea for too long, the decaying giant crab had lifeless eyes and remained motionless in the iron cage.

"The Chamber of Commerce lost more than a dozen people because of it."

Susan covered her mouth and nose and mumbled:

"The rotten giant crab lives in the silt near the coast, has a hard shell, and can spray corrosive acid."

"Those pliers are especially sharp; they can pierce through an ordinary fishing boat."

"However, it is a treasure trove from head to toe."

At this point, Susan's eyes lit up:

"The shell can be used to forge weapons and reinforce ship plates, while the crab roe and crab meat are highly nourishing for blood and qi."

"For knights, crab roe is just as effective as high-quality animal balls, and it tastes even better."

"Oh!" Carl exclaimed, intrigued, and asked:

"Can I touch it?"

"Of course." Susan shrugged.

"As long as you don't mind that it's dirty."

He took two steps back, distancing himself from Karl.

Seeing this, Carl chuckled, stepped forward to the corrupted giant crab, and reached out to touch its thick shell.

Analysis!

The mental fluctuations entered the corrupted Cancer's body.

It seemed to sense something, moved its body slightly, and then collapsed to the ground again, powerless.

Creatures living in the sea are often weakened once they leave the water, becoming lambs to the slaughter.

After a while.

Karl withdrew his hand and shook his head regretfully.

According to the classification in the book "Discourse on Magical Creatures", this corrupt giant crab is merely a pseudo-magical creature.

It's even less of a legendary creature.

The only things worth studying are why it is so huge and the venom sacs inside its body.

"It seems that the distinction between magical creatures and ordinary creatures isn't necessarily related to strength; the key is whether they possess special abilities."

"How is it?"

Susan asked from behind:

Are you interested?

"I want some crab roe and some shells." Carl turned around:

"The cost will be within one thousand Divine Grace Coins."

"No problem!" Susan smiled.

"There might be a little less crab roe, since many knights from the merchant guild are interested, but we can give you more shells."

Sudden.

"Bang!"

"Tie it up, quick!"

"Watch out, it's broken free of its chains!"

A loud bang came from the neighboring courtyard, a roar filled with terror, followed by a series of crackling sounds.

Susan raised an eyebrow, but before she could make a move, a white figure leaped over the wall and pounced.

"Bang!"

A blur of movement flashed before his eyes, and Karl sidestepped and punched the white figure away.

"careful."

"Thank you," Susan said with a smile.

She herself was a knight, so she wasn't afraid, but the feeling of being protected was always pleasant.

"Turns out it's a crazy water monkey."

Water monkey?

Karl looked toward the white figure.

It was a monkey about three feet tall, covered in white fur, with bloodshot eyes and squeaking.

Its hands were tightly bound by iron rings, but the iron chains on them had broken, indicating that it had forcibly broken free.

This little guy is quite strong; he managed to tear the iron chain apart.

"Very few people catch water monkeys."

Susan explained:

"These creatures like to live in groups. They may not be strong individually, but a group can easily number in the dozens or hundreds. Even a great knight would have a headache with them."

"And once provoked, they become extremely ferocious; even ordinary water monkeys can injure the knight."

Think about it.

What a terrifying sight it would be to see hundreds of crazed knights!

It could easily destroy a fleet!

"The key is..."

Susan continued:

"Once the frenzy erupts, their muscles and bones will suffer problems, making them unsellable."

"So in the end, it's always a losing proposition, and gradually no one wants to mess with them anymore."

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Karl's heart stirred, and he seemed to have thought of something and became interested.

Combat Technique - Eagle Strike!

With a swift movement, like an eagle soaring close to the ground, Karl reached out and grabbed at the snarling water monkey.

"Squeak..."

"Bang!"

The sound of a collision rang out.

Even if the water monkey unleashed its power, it would still be far inferior to Karl's.

But it was fearless of pain and had sharp teeth and a fierce bite, so it took quite a bit of effort to finally subdue it.

Analysis!

The mental fluctuations surged into the immobile water monkey's body, and Karl's expression changed repeatedly.

"What's wrong?"

Susan approached with a smile:

"You're interested in this kind of thing too?"

"Yes." Karl nodded.

"Unfortunately, it's all wasted now!"

With that, he tossed the limp water monkey aside.

"Well……"

"Sell it to me cheap later!"

"That's fine." Susan nodded.

"The water monkey after its outburst is worth at most fifty Divine Grace Coins, but its meat doesn't taste good at all."

Due to the stimulation of hormones, the flesh of water monkeys will taste bitter and astringent, and it is also somewhat toxic to ordinary people.

That's why it's so cheap.

They spend a lot of effort to catch them, but the result is not only heavy losses, but they also can't make any money from selling them. No wonder no one wants to do this kind of business.

"It's nothing." Karl shook his head.

"Let me look into it."

He lowered his head, his eyes flickering.

In Adolf's potion recipes, there is a special potion that can help knights break through their limits.

Berserk Potion!

This potion can boost the user's life force in a short period of time, allowing them to rise from the peak of a knight to the level of a great knight.

of course,

There are very obvious aftereffects.

That is, if the breakthrough fails, it will cause certain damage to the body.

Even so, the berserk potion can drive a knight mad, after all, it increases the chance of breaking through by nearly 20%.

"Unfortunately, the main ingredient for the Berserk Potion is extremely rare; currently, only the Vatican can reliably supply it."

As the thought crossed his mind, Karl's gaze fell on the water monkey.

Its blood could potentially replace the main ingredient in berserk potions.

Whether it's possible or not still needs to be verified through experiments, but it's always an opportunity, so we can't let it slip by.

on the way back.

"Uncle Carl!"

Aya came running from afar, her face filled with panic, her voice trembling with tears:

"quick!"

"Please save Xiao Nan!"

"Xiao Nan?" Karl looked up.

"What's wrong with him?"

…………

Waterborne disease!

The incurable disease of Free Harbor!

A nightmare for countless fishermen!

This is a special disease that can start at any time and in any person without anyone knowing when or how it will occur.

People who have water disease will have uncontrollable thirst, but no matter how much water they drink, it will not help.

Your body will dehydrate rapidly!

That's why it's called a water plague.

in the room.

Xiao Nan was soaking in a huge wooden tub, her face pale and her body trembling uncontrollably.

He is afraid.

fear death!

In the months since leaving Black City and arriving at Free Port, he has finally experienced the happiness of being alive.

now,

The door seemed to be tightly shut for him.

"Uncle."

Xiao Nan looked at Karl, her eyes full of hope and longing, wanting to get a different answer from him:

"I……"

"How am I?"

Carl stood by the barrel, his face grim.

"It's a waterborne disease."

"Ah!" Xiao Nan's face stiffened, her eyes filled with despair, and she curled up into a ball, covering her head with her hands.

"Waaah..."

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

"ah!!!"

"Uncle!" Aya cried, grabbing Karl's sleeves with both hands.

"Please save Xiao Nan! Please save Xiao Nan!"

"..." Karl shook his head slightly.

If he could save them, how could he not take action? But he was truly powerless to help with this disease, the water plague.

Analysis!

He reached out and pressed his hand on Xiao Nan's head, and a surge of spiritual energy flowed in.

next moment.

Chaos, madness, disorder, and twisted will surged into his mind, causing Karl to groan involuntarily.

A layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

No!

People who contract waterborne disease will experience internal and external changes in their bodies, with the source of these changes being deep within their blood vessels.

Initially, the body will show signs of dehydration, so you will feel thirsty and keep drinking water, but it won't help.

The rate at which we drink water is far slower than the rate at which our bodies lose water.

finally.

He died as a dried-up corpse.

The body will continue to dehydrate until it turns into a puddle of soft mud.

Moreover, waterborne disease is highly contagious; prolonged contact with infected individuals can lead to infection in others.

Freeport's solution was to throw the sick people into the sea and let them dissolve.

Or burn to ashes!

"What should we do?"

Aya looked helpless:

"What should we do?"

"Xiao Nan has only been in Free Port for a few months, why did he get water disease? Others have been here for many years and are fine!"

Carl shook his head.

Waterborne diseases seem to occur randomly; some people never get them in their lives, while others contract them as soon as they arrive in Freeport.

No one was drafted!

No one knows where it comes from, and even if you drink hot water and pay attention to hygiene every day, you can still get infected.

Only by becoming a knight can one avoid being targeted.

"Seven days."

With a sigh, Karl said slowly:

"I will prepare some medicine to increase the body's rate of water absorption, but it can only last Xiaonan for seven days at most. After seven days..."

"No!"

Xiao Nan stared blankly up at the sky, muttering to herself:

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

"ah!!!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and he frantically waved his arms, smashing the wooden barrel, knocking Aya aside, and rushing out the door.

"Konan!"

Aya hurriedly chased after him.

"Aya." Karl grabbed her arm and said seriously:

"Don't get too close to Xiao Nan. He's... If you contract the water plague, you'll die too."

Aya's body stiffened.

An hour later.

The group found Xiao Nan, who was covered in wounds, in a dark alley.

He lay in a stinking ditch, gulping down dirty water as he cried.

The person who contracted the water plague was hated by everyone in Free Port, but he was able to live because of the Dragon King Merchant Guild token on his body.

Aya took him back to the courtyard and soaked him in a bucket of water.

the next day.

Xiao Nan regained some composure, said a few simple words, and even joked with Leon.

However, it was still clear that he was in a very gloomy mood.

Day three.

He ordered some good food and locked himself in the room, where he ate it all up.

Fourth day.

"Xiao Nan is gone."

Aya squatted by the door with lifeless eyes, wanting to cry but unable to shed a tear:

He said he wanted to go to the beach by himself.

"Uncle..."

Karl stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance towards the Endless Sea. He could sense that Xiao Nan's presence was fading away.

It gradually disappeared into the waves.

*

*

The main world.

Black Swamp.

A wooden boat slowly emerged from the mist.

"elder brother."

Hattie stood at the bow of the ship, blinked, and asked curiously:

"What do you think that 'Karl' looks like?"

"Men never care about looks." Lawson stood up, adjusted his top-topped wizard hat, and chuckled.

"His character is truly admirable; he dared to stand up for his senior sister against a mid-level wizard apprentice, even as a knight."

"Yes." Hattie nodded repeatedly:

"He must be a handsome and dashing man."

"Then you'll be disappointed." Lawson shook his head.

"Although I have never met him, I have heard people say that Karl has a scar on his face."

"I'm afraid it doesn't suit your taste."

Hearing this, Hattie looked a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up and released a carrier pigeon.

Not long after.

"Buzz..."

The poisonous miasma dissipated ahead, and Sybel, dressed in a formal suit, waved to the two of them.

"welcome!"

"Two friends from the hill cabin."

…………

Hibel built several new houses on the island, one of which was specifically for entertaining guests.

"Let me introduce you."

She smiled and gestured with her hand:

"These two are disciples of Cedric, a senior wizard apprentice; the older brother is Lawson, and the younger sister is Hattie."

"The island they live on is called Hill Hut, and it's not far from here."

"he!"

Pointing at Karl, Hippel said:

"My junior apprentice, Karl, I believe you have heard of him."

"Of course." Lawson bowed.

"Karl, Adolf's disciple, valiant knight, and novice wizard apprentice, I am Lawson. It's a pleasure to meet you."

A flicker of disappointment crossed Hattie's eyes, but it vanished in an instant, and she bowed to Karl in return.

The man in front of me was indeed very ordinary-looking.

The two of them came to visit, partly to get acquainted with each other, and partly out of curiosity about what kind of person Karl was.

Recently, Karl's name has spread throughout the Swamp League.

Wizard apprentices are mostly aloof, but that doesn't mean they disagree with certain rules of knighthood.

The young apprentices, in particular, were full of praise for what Karl had done.

Lawson.

Carl reached out his hand:

"Please have a seat, you two. Are you siblings?"

It is extremely rare for both siblings to have wizarding talent.

"Yes." The group sat down one after another. Lawson, clearly used to this kind of question, smiled and said:

"We are twins, and coincidentally, we both have wizarding talent and are training together under a mentor."

"Well……"

He hesitated for a moment, then spoke again:

"I am an intermediate wizard apprentice, while Hattie is only a beginner wizard apprentice because her talent is slightly inferior."

There was no need to disclose the specific level of cultivation, but he did so to express goodwill.

"Different talents?"

Hibel blinked:

"I never imagined that twins could have different talents."

"Yes," Hattie sighed.

"I only have level four wizarding talent. I heard that your talent is also level four, Karl. So we're the same."

"In a wizard's training, even a slight difference can make a huge difference."

"Yes," Karl nodded.

Of course, he wouldn't say he didn't feel anything, since he had relied almost entirely on the powerful effects of medicine to cultivate until now.

His cultivation progress is so fast that even a second-level talent might not be able to match his level three talent, let alone a level three talent.

"I've been busy building houses and decorating the island lately, so I haven't had time to visit," Hibel explained.

"I'll definitely visit the neighbors in a few days."

As he spoke,

He rolled his eyes at Karl.

She was busy building the house and didn't have time, and Carl was nowhere to be seen every day.

The key is.

Carl had set up many magical traps around his house, clearly not wanting to be disturbed.

This man...

How heartless!

"welcome!"

Hattie rested her chin on her hands, looking on with envy, and said:

"I really envy you guys, having had almost six years without having to deal with all sorts of Alliance missions."

"We can't do it alone; we still need to earn points."

Adolf made a great contribution to the Swamp Alliance, which also gave the two of them some free time.

An independent island, a rich legacy, and no quests required—I can focus on cultivation for the next few years.

It's truly enviable.

"integral?"

Hibel's beautiful eyes blinked:

"I was just about to ask, how many points can I get if I do missions? And what can I exchange those points for?"

"you

"Hmm..." Hattie thought for a moment and said:

"If you do tasks, you don't need to give points to the alliance in exchange for rest time; you can distribute the points you earn as you please."

"As for what can be exchanged..."

"Magic stones, potions, materials, books, even witchcraft can be traded, as long as someone in the Alliance can provide them."

Hibel's eyes lit up.

She plans to accept the mission.

There is a shortage of manpower for exploring the Black Swamp, but the Alliance is very generous with the points rewards for those who are willing to contribute.

The knowledge provided by formal wizards is something that was unthinkable in the past, but now it can be redeemed simply by having enough points.

The group was of similar age, all young people. After the initial awkwardness dissipated, the atmosphere gradually became cheerful.

"I plan to accumulate knowledge and improve my skills over these six years, and eventually break through to become an advanced wizard apprentice."

Hibel looked determined:

"A rare opportunity!"

"With the Swamp Alliance providing resources, there might be a chance to try and become a formal wizard in the future."

"Yes." Lawson nodded.

"Cultivating in the Black Swamp is faster, and you can also exchange points for the experience of the elders."

"Sibell, you've received your mentor's legacy again. With enough magic stones, your cultivation will definitely increase rapidly."

"How enviable!"

He silently did some calculations:

"It will probably take me at least ten years to become a senior wizard apprentice!"

"Advanced Wizard Apprentice..." Hattie shrugged.

"I don't want to anymore."

She only has the talent of a fourth-level wizard, and lacks potions and magic stones, so at most she will be a mid-level wizard apprentice in this lifetime.

Unless the tutor suddenly...

Bah Bah!

"Karl, where are you?"

Hattie blushed and turned to look at her.

"I'm going to take a gamble." Carl said with a serious expression.

"My mentor's legacy ensures I have no shortage of magic stones, which I can use to purchase magical potions to aid my cultivation."

"For the next six years, I will diligently cultivate my skills and strive to become an intermediate-level wizard apprentice!"

Ok.

He was actually a high-level wizard apprentice.

While I'm at it, I'll raise my knight rank to the Grand Knight level.

if possible.

Find a suitable legendary creature, analyze its bloodline, and lay a solid foundation for the path of a bloodline wizard.

Thinking about it that way...

Time is of the essence!

Hibel blinked.

She hadn't expected Karl to have such a strong drive to improve; his level four talent offered limited potential.

No wonder,

No wonder he never shows his face; he's been secretly cultivating himself.

It didn't seem right for her to keep bothering them all the time, and thinking of this, her face flushed.

It was already dark when we left the island.

Lawson summoned a gust of wind to propel the wooden boat forward, and casually asked:

What do you think?

"Karl and Hibel?" Hattie touched her smooth chin, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

"Hibel has built a new house and set up a witchcraft trap between it and Karl's residence."

"so……"

"Their relationship wasn't close enough for them to trust each other."

"Yes!" Lawson nodded.

"It's clear from their conversation that they are just apprentices learning from the same mentor, and there's no other relationship between them."

"How could this happen!" Hattie exclaimed with regret.

"Karl risked his life to save Sybil, and I thought they would become a loving couple."

"This is so disappointing!"

"No," Lawson laughed.

"I think Carl's character is more admirable. It shows that he helped not because of his different relationship with Hibel, but purely out of a sense of justice."

"Doesn't someone like that deserve respect?"

"..." Hattie opened her mouth:

"Maybe!"

Anyway,

Today's visit disappointed her.

The knight Karl, who is described as "brave" and "righteous," has an ordinary appearance, and the two are not lovers.

It's completely different from the story!

…………

night.

Carl stopped what he was doing, looked at the scene before him, and nodded in satisfaction.

"The witchcraft testing ground is finally complete!"

Besides the library, every wizard has a place to test their magic. Adolf also had one, but it was rather crude, perhaps because of the passage of time.

After Karl's modifications over the past few days, it has begun to take shape.

Enchanted Device - Energy Detector!

Element Observer!

These are the two most crucial things; any energy fluctuations at the wizard apprentice level can be detected and analyzed.

"So..."

Let's begin!

Name: Carl

Physical condition: 2.93

Mental Power: 2.06

Source quality: 0

Occupation: Knight, Intermediate Wizard Apprentice

Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. In order to ensure that there would be no mistakes, Karl had focused all his source energy on his physique when he fought Tim.

This brought his physical condition close to the 3-point mark.

However, progress in mental strength is extremely slow.

Ask for collection!
