Final Thoughts

"The Water Staff, a loot obtained from Tim, increases the power of water-based magic by 7%, but has no effect on other magic."

"Blue amber pendant, increases mental strength by 0.6."

"Adolf's Magic Wizard Robe increases the power of elemental magic by 15% and the power of other magic types by 8%."

"The power of the Water Staff and the Magic Wizard Robe can be stacked, but the maximum increase is only 20% for water-based magic."

"The effect of meditation on the power of witchcraft..."

Under the oil lamp.

Karl held a quill pen and wrote and drew on the parchment scroll, sometimes looking up to think, sometimes writing furiously, and soon he had filled the scroll with records.

wizard,

In a sense, they are scholars who pursue knowledge.

Various experiments, analyses, and data collection are inevitable and essential skills. A wizard who does not know how to record and accumulate data is not a good wizard.

"In other words, my current mental strength is 2.06. With the 0.6 increase from the blue amber pendant, my total mental strength is 2.66, which is the basis for casting spells."

"The Clear Water Staff and the Magic Wizard Robe combine to increase the spell's power by 20%, bringing the spell's power value close to 3.2."

Carl's movement paused slightly:

"The meditation method I practice belongs to the natural school of elemental water, which amplifies my ability to cast water-based spells by 50%."

"The value is..."

"4.8!"

Carl stopped what he was doing, looking surprised.

A score of 4.8 is comparable to that of a high-level wizard apprentice.

of course,

Advanced wizard apprentices also have their own methods, and it is impossible for them to cast spells with basic mental power. In fact, they have more and stronger methods to enhance their abilities.

"No wonder a mid-level wizard apprentice with a lineage can fight against a Grand Knight; the combination of these numbers is truly terrifying."

"Even though a wizard apprentice's abilities are limited, the sheer numerical superiority is enough to offset any other disadvantages."

His basic mental strength was only 2.06, but through the addition, it soared to 4.8, more than doubling.

The knight is different.

The Giant Spirit Breathing Technique is already a top-tier method bestowed by the gods, and even when using the secret technique of Giant Transformation, the amplification is not that exaggerated.

Far from it!

Knights are skilled at using their physical strength, while wizards are better at using external aids to enhance themselves.

"so……"

Karl put down his quill and tapped his fingers lightly on the table:

"Put aside the Zero-Ring Wizard's Hand and the Magic Sword for now, and focus on cultivating Azure Wave Guardian."

"It possesses a secondary spell field, Azure Wave Protection, Armor Guna, and a Steel Body Sign, in addition to the Giant Spirit Breathing technique's inherent emphasis on defense and martial arts protection..."

"With all defenses activated, even a great knight attacking at full power wouldn't be able to harm me in a short time."

…………

Swamp Alliance.

A group of wizard apprentices walked down the street.

Tall wizard hats, colorful wizard robes, numerous staffs, and shimmering light—this scene would never be seen in Signoria.

The wide variety of strange and wonderful goods on display is dazzling and overwhelming.

The gathering of wizards from across the country here has led to the prosperity and flourishing of the wizarding business in the Swamp Alliance.

"Huge clearance sale on staves! Wholesale wood-type staves from the Natural School, bulk discounts available. Perfect for beginners on the path of wizarding. Don't miss out!"

This is the staff stall.

"Magical cuisine, one bite and it'll give you a sweet dream!"

"Do you want to become a high-ranking wizard? Do you want to explore the secrets of the stars and visit various deities? Do you want to have a wonderful date with your soulmate? Do you want to have a heated discussion with a group of beautiful women about the differences between men and women?"

"Let's have a magical meal, a customized illusion, and realize everything you want in your dreams. Magical cuisine is the best choice when you're tired."

This is the Nightmare Wizard.

"..."

Are you still worried about not being tall enough? Are you still bothered by your poor figure? Are you still frustrated by certain inconveniences?

"Flesh and blood modification will help you!"

"Buying corpses, buying large quantities of corpses, high prices for fresh corpses, knight and grand knight corpses negotiable!"

"Enchanted items..."

Along the way, Carl was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, unable to resist stopping at every place he went.

They only continued walking when the other party gave them an unfriendly look.

Besides private stalls, the Swamp Alliance also has a window for selling various supplies. The supplies are more abundant and the quality is relatively guaranteed, but the prices are a bit higher. They do not accept gold coins, only magic stones and points distributed by the alliance.

Each window has a salesperson, and each salesperson is responsible for selling different goods.

"Mr. Carl!"

A surprised sound rang out:

"Is there anything you need?"

"..." Carl looked at the sales clerk in front of him:

Do you know me?

"Of course!" the salesperson nodded emphatically.

"I witnessed the entire duel between you and Tim that day. My grandfather is Arthur, a high-ranking wizard apprentice."

"You can call me Bunian."

Bunian was young and still had the vigor of youth, greeting everyone with a warm smile.

Arthur's grandson?

Working as a sales clerk here?

Those with wizarding talent are ultimately a minority, and the Swamp Alliance also has many ordinary people who serve wizards.

"Bunian." Karl's eyes flickered slightly.

"Are you a knight?"

The other party did not exhibit the mental energy fluctuations expected of a wizard apprentice; instead, their life force was abundant.

"Yes." Bunian nodded, a look of regret on his face:

"I don't have the talent of a wizard, so I can only follow the path of a knight. You really made us knights proud that day."

As he spoke, he waved his arm vigorously.

"That duel proved to the people here that it is possible for a knight to defeat a wizard's apprentice."

"Yes." Karl chuckled.

"You became a knight at such a young age, you will definitely become a great knight in the future, there is no need to envy the wizard apprentice."

"Uh..." Bunian scratched his head:

"I hope so."

He was able to become a knight entirely because of the resources his grandfather provided; he didn't have any talent in that area himself.

The path of a knight is too difficult.

He can't endure hardship.

Moreover, knights value practical combat; having the knightly realm but lacking real combat experience means their strength cannot be fully utilized.

Karl looked at Bunian, a look of doubt in his eyes:

"Your nose..."

"oh!"

Bunian touched his high, straight nose and laughed:

"I underwent body modifications."

"As you know, a good appearance and figure can easily attract the attention of female wizard apprentices."

"I spent several magic stones on body modification, almost using up all my savings."

He shrugged as he spoke.

It is clear.

He didn't just have his nose done; he also had other modifications done.

Judging solely from his appearance, Bunian is undoubtedly very "beautiful," with smooth skin, a slender figure, and well-defined features, which would surely make him very popular with women.

But in Carl's view, it seemed somewhat "fake".

It looks fine when the face is expressionless and the body is still, but once the body moves, the modified parts will show disharmony.

This incongruity might go unnoticed by others, but it was all too obvious to a knight and a bloodline wizard.

"Body modification..."

Since Robert was able to obtain the bloodline wizard's inheritance, others could naturally do so as well.

The Swamp Alliance has wizards from all over Gondor, so it's not surprising that some of them practice the path of bloodline wizards.

However, so far...

No bloodline wizard apprentice in the Kingdom of Gondor has yet advanced to the rank of wizard.

Not a single one!

"What's wrong?" Bunian asked, speaking first.

"Are you also interested in body modification?"

"I can introduce you to Bach, an intermediate wizard apprentice. I'm a regular customer of his. If you want to get body modifications, mention my name and you'll get a discount."

"Well……"

He pursed his lips and said:

"You could also try Bach's tutor, Kim, but he has a bad temper and charges too much."

"Is that so?" Carl nodded.

"I am indeed very interested in the magic of bloodline wizards, and I will definitely visit them if I have the chance."

"Oh, right."

"I want some equipment and materials for making medicine."

As he spoke, he handed over a sheet of paper filled with the items he had purchased.

"OK."

Bunian took it and casually asked:

"I remember your mentor was a pharmacist. Didn't he leave behind these things?"

"Sorry, I tend to talk a lot, you don't have to answer."

"It's nothing." Karl shook his head gently, not minding at all.

"I have a senior classmate whose inheritance was divided between the two of them, but the mentor only had one share of some equipment and materials."

"How much?"

"Two and a half magic stones in total." Bunian took out the items one by one and put the magic stones into the tent.

"Oh, right."

After thinking for a moment, Karl asked:

"Are there any potions here that increase mental strength?"

"Yes," Bunian nodded.

"Vell's Potion, a potion developed by the great apothecary Vell; Song of Heaven, a potion from the Holy See; Brilliant Potion, a potion especially suitable for nightmare wizards."

"There are three types in total, five for one magic stone, but I recommend exchanging them with points, which is more cost-effective."

"I don't have any points right now." Karl smiled and took out a magic stone.

"Give me five servings first: two servings of Will's Potion, two servings of Heavenly Song, and one serving of Brilliant Potion. I'll test the effects."

"Okay." Bunian nodded and turned to fetch the potion.

Seeing that Karl was about to leave, he added:

"If you really want to modify your body, don't forget to ask me first, it will save you a lot of trouble."

"Oh……"

He smiled mysteriously:

"We can't beat those female wizard apprentices in terms of strength, but we can make them surrender in bed."

?

Carl shook his head speechlessly.

It seems this person is not only a chatterbox, but also a lecherous scoundrel. Indeed, you can't judge a person by their appearance alone.

Fragments of the Divine Realm.

Carl held a dropper and dripped a drop of dark red blood into a container filled with blue liquid.

moment.

The liquid in the container has changed.

The blue turned yellow, and ripples appeared on the calm water.

"Bang!"

The container exploded, sending countless fragments flying in all directions.

"really!"

Carl's eyes lit up with excitement:

"Water monkey blood can replace the main ingredient of berserk potion, but it must be fresh blood."

*

*

*

Port of Freedom.

Carl visited Susan again.

"Karl!"

Susan smiled:

"You've come at just the right time. I've been wanting to introduce you to Miss Lula for a while, but I haven't had the chance until now."

"Everyone happens to be here today."

He gestured with his hand:

"The daughter of the Dragon King Merchant Guild's president, a top-tier knight with exceptional swordsmanship, and also an experienced businesswoman."

"My best friend and boss, Lula!"

Carl turned to look.

Under the somewhat glaring sunlight, a tall and elegant woman walked slowly towards him and nodded in greeting.

Lula!

Her hair was as golden as silk, and her eyes were a deep blue, giving her an innate nobility.

Although she is a woman, her attire is more masculine, with a form-fitting equestrian outfit that accentuates her body curves.

A curve brimming with explosive power!

The strong life force indicates that this woman's strength is not only not weak, but terrifyingly strong.

His physique is probably already on the verge of becoming a Great Knight.

Karl instinctively narrowed his eyes.

Danger!

He hadn't sensed this warning sign in the knight for a long time.

Even a peak-level knight shouldn't pose much of a threat to him, let alone trigger any warning signals.

unless……

Dharma Seal!

Lula possesses a special magical seal that grants her the power to kill a Grand Knight.

This woman's radiance was so dazzling that even though there were several people around her, they would subconsciously overlook them.

"Miss Lula."

Karl-Schli:

"I've heard of you before, but I never expected to meet you here today. It's my honor."

"Haha..." Luna laughed, her voice slightly hoarse, quite different from her delicate features:

"Speaking of which, it was my condition that you joined the Dragon King Merchant Guild, but unfortunately we've never actually met."

You're always so busy!

As one of the leaders of the chamber of commerce, this was the first time she had encountered a subordinate who hadn't come to visit her even after being a member for several months.

"..." Karl chuckled dryly:

"I had some things to deal with a while ago, but they've all been taken care of now, and this won't happen again."

"I hope so." Lula's beautiful eyes narrowed:

"We were just talking about you. I wonder if Pharmacist Karl could increase potion production over the next six months?"

"The Chamber of Commerce can raise the purchase price."

"This..." Karl hesitated.

"I wonder how much production needs to be increased?"

"Thirty percent!" Lu stretched out three fingers and said:

"The Chamber of Commerce is preparing to open a new sea route this year, and is currently facing a shortage of various supplies, especially medicines."

"Acquisition price..."

"Increase by 10% from the original level!"

Thirty percent?

Karl thought for a moment.

Aya has been doing most of the potion making these past few months. If he were to help, increasing the potion production by 30% wouldn't be difficult.

Moreover, Aya's proficiency has improved, and her own shop actually has spare space, so it's not a big problem.

He nodded immediately:

"no problem!"

"good!"

Lula clapped her hands:

"Then it's settled. We'll start increasing production tomorrow. Susan, you'll be in charge of this."

Her style of doing things is swift and decisive.

"Yes."

Susan should be.

"Oh, right..." Lura patted her forehead, then belatedly looked at Karl and asked:

"You must have come for something, right?"

"Yes."

Carl nodded and said:

"I'd like to ask if the Chamber of Commerce has captured any more water monkeys. If so, I'm planning to buy a few."

"Water monkeys?" Susan laughed.

"It seems your experiment was successful, but unfortunately, the Chamber of Commerce doesn't have any water monkeys at the moment."

"No?" Carl frowned.

"Shouldn't they be available elsewhere?"

"Nobody wants to mess with water monkeys," Lula said, sitting down and crossing her legs.

"We don't have them here, and the entire Freeport won't have them. If you're not in a hurry, wait a few months."

"If any fleets pass by the water monkeys' stronghold, I will instruct them to try and capture a few."

"A few months?" Carl asked.

"Does it take that long?"

"Of course," Lula nodded.

"How can a fleet return from sea without making enough profit? Even with good luck, it can stay at sea for more than a month."

"Well……"

She thought for a moment and said:

"If you're willing to pay, you can have them take a detour and come back as soon as they catch the water monkey."

"But it will take several months!"

When a ship goes out to sea to hunt, the number of crew members and supplies consumed is by no means small.

Several months?

Carl shook his head:

"Is there any other way?"

"If you're willing to pay, we can send a boat out to sea specifically to hunt water monkeys, round trip..." Lula calculated:

"About 20,000 Divine Grace Coins!"

"Last year, the Sea God Association made a special trip for a piece of coral. It was a small boat, and it cost the same amount."

Karl looked bitter.

He had saved up a lot of money over the past few months, but he wasn't that rich. Twenty thousand Divine Grace Coins could buy a whole bunch of magic seals.

"Actually..." Susan whispered.

"There are other ways."

"Oh!" Karl's eyes lit up.

"What method?"

"Free Port has some private boats, and our chamber of commerce also has some. They have fewer people and it's convenient for them to travel," Susan said.

"A few thousand Divine Grace Coins will be enough to send them on this trip."

"Several thousand?" Karl asked.

"I can accept that."

"If you're okay with that, I can help you make an introduction," Susan said.

"But let me make this clear first: they don't do things like we do, which offers guarantees. You might end up wasting money and getting nothing in return."

"It's alright." Carl:

"Let's give it a try!"

…………

Susan had a wide circle of friends, and it wasn't long before she had someone come over.

"Pharmacist Carl."

The blond man, Connie, is a legendary captain whose ship, the Windbreaker, is famous for its speed.

This is a man who is no longer young, but is still handsome.

"Catching water monkeys is a thankless and arduous task. I'm confident I can take it on, but it will cost 10,000 Divine Grace Coins."

He sat in the chair and said:

"If it's less than that, forget it!"

Karl opened his mouth, then shook his head helplessly.

"Connie has a very good reputation, and his character is impeccable... a person of integrity in business." Susan said softly.

"It's just a bit expensive."

"Ten thousand Divine Grace Coins..." Karl sighed.

"I really can't come up with it!"

He could also see the confidence emanating from the other person, and this person's cultivation level was probably that of a Grand Knight.

No wonder they can do business in the territories of the three major powers.

"Although the business deal didn't go through, it was a pleasure to meet Pharmacist Carl." Connie, sensing the tension, stood up, shook hands with Carl, and then smiled at the shop owner standing nearby.

"Susan, are you free tonight?"

"No." Susan rolled her eyes.

"Come back to me when you've cleaned up the women around you."

"I've always been completely innocent." Connie shrugged.

"If you don't believe me, you can come and check my room anytime. You're welcome anytime."

"Shameless!" Susan scoffed.

"roll!"

It's clear that there was some kind of relationship between the two of them.

…………

"Karl".

Susan reached out again to introduce:

"This is Blackbeard Gray, and his second-in-command Charles; they are both experienced veterans."

"And they are two valiant and skilled knights!"

"Grey has a ship that can go out to sea and often takes on fast-return missions from the merchant guild, so he has always had a good reputation."

Gray had a thick, black beard, and was short and stocky, carrying an axe on his back.

Charles has triangular eyes, a hooked nose, and a gloomy face.

They are also members of the Dragon King Merchant Guild, but their affiliation is not with Lula, who is behind Susan.

It was another vice president.

"Water monkeys are not easy to deal with."

Charles spoke first:

"These creatures only live in one litter, and they get angry at the slightest noise. If you get surrounded by them, even a great knight can tear you apart."

"good."

Gray nodded, his voice deep and honest:

"Besides, water monkeys live in the deep sea, and the closest distance is several days away. Your requirement is to capture them alive."

"The task is too difficult!"

"The water monkeys are only troublesome when provoked; otherwise, they're just a little stronger than ordinary monkeys. With your strength, they shouldn't be difficult to deal with," Karl said.

"And there's no need to fight to the death. You can just secretly knock out a few of them, or drug them and bring them back."

"Well……"

He took two bottles of medicine from his person and placed them on the table, saying:

"This medicine will ensure that the water monkeys remain unconscious for several days, so we can deliver our mission once we reach Freedom Harbor."

"It still doesn't work." Charles shook his head.

"You make it sound so simple. The sea is their domain. If we make a mistake, we won't even have a chance to escape."

"Right, Captain!"

"Hmm." Gray nodded slowly.

"Four thousand Divine Grace Coins, a round trip of at most fifteen days, that's not a cheap reward." Karl conceded.

"If you can come a day earlier, I'm willing to give you an extra 100 Divine Grace Coins."

"We'll see..."

"If it weren't difficult, we wouldn't have found you."

"This..." Gray hesitated, seemingly somewhat tempted.

"Head." Charles shook his head frantically.

"This time is different from before. We could die. Four thousand Divine Grace Coins is far too little."

"We can accept the job, but it will cost extra!"

"Not bad." Gray licked his lips and stretched out his large hand:

"Five thousand!"

"Mr. Karl, if you are willing to pay five thousand Divine Grace Coins, we will accept this mission."

"Pay a deposit of two thousand first, and the remaining three thousand Divine Grace Coins will be exchanged for cash on delivery."

Charles nodded in agreement.

Five thousand?

Looking at the two of them, Karl's eyes flickered, and he finally said:

"Can!"

"However, I need to see the water monkey within half a month, or three samples of fresh blood from the water monkey's heart."

He had already met several groups of crew members who came after hearing the news, but not many of them were truly capable, and the offer of 5,000 Divine Grace Coins was not unacceptable.

After a brief moment of thought, I decided to agree.

"No problem!" Gray stood up.

"I will definitely not let you down."

Ask for collection!
