Wizard, I Have Another World

Chapter 91 Auction (Please add to your favorites!)

Dragon King?

Did Zimmerman contract waterborne disease?

Karl stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Although Susan and the others were being secretive, one could guess fairly well the identity of the patient in the bed.

but,

Free Port has never had a knight infected with the water plague, let alone a Grand Knight of the highest level.

Moreover, Zimmerman's situation is quite unique.

So special that Carl had never encountered anything like it before!

If the patient is indeed Zimmerman, then his death will surely throw the Dragon King Merchant Guild into chaos.

Dragon King Merchant Guild!

Dragon King Zimerman!

The fact that the chamber of commerce was named after him shows how important Zimmerman was to the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce.

"Lura is too young to handle the big picture, and her mother's personality is too eccentric to command respect."

The two vice presidents are even more ambitious.

"And the Sea God Society and the Sickle Brotherhood won't just stand by and watch the Dragon King Merchant Guild regroup."

"Once the news leaks..."

Carl shook his head slightly. No wonder there were always people watching his yard; they were worried that Zimmerman's situation might be leaked from him.

"laugh……"

When a red-hot iron plate is placed into water, thick smoke billows out instantly.

"Ding!"

"when……"

Karl took out the iron plate, swung his heavy hammer and smashed it down, and gradually a brand new sword blank emerged.

He plans to forge another broadsword for himself.

Twin swords

It has become increasingly smooth, and the recently acquired witchcraft materials can be perfectly incorporated into it.

Swamp Alliance.

station.

Karl followed behind Bunian toward a dense forest.

This dense forest is home to a special kind of paulownia tree, which grows extremely fast and can easily become as thick as several people can encircle.

Through the sorcerer's spell, these trees grew to an unbelievable size, resembling towering walls.

Some wizards carved out rooms in the paulownia trees and lived in them.

first,

It is close to the station and convenient for travel.

Secondly,

The giant paulownia tree can be used to set up many magical traps, which also ensures safety.

Arthur, a senior wizard apprentice, lives here.

Deep in the dense forest, several giant paulownia trees stand side by side, with interconnected rooms carved out of them.

In the center, surrounded by trees, there is a fairly large courtyard.

By this time, quite a few people had arrived in the courtyard. Karl looked around and sat down next to the bloodline wizard Bach.

"Karl".

Bach sat upright and nodded in acknowledgment.

It's been a while since I've seen you.

"I've been studying the 'Gamp Transformation Method' you gave me lately, and also doing some bloodline research." Karl rubbed his temples, looking haggard.

"The path of a bloodline wizard is not easy."

"Of course." Bach shrugged.

"Our path relies too much on magical creatures and sorcery materials. Some experiments have to be done by ourselves, but magical creatures are too rare. Without enough magic stones, this is a dead end."

"Oh……"

"Other wizards have many advanced wizard apprentices, but how many advanced wizard apprentices have you seen from bloodline wizards?"

Karl nodded slowly.

"Speaking of experiments, I have some questions I'd like to ask."

He lowered his voice and began discussing the knowledge of bloodline wizards with Bach.

Bach initially intended to just give a perfunctory answer, since truly useful knowledge requires payment.

The other party has only recently embarked on the path of bloodline wizardry and is theoretically not qualified to communicate with him.

Never thought.

Karl's vast knowledge deeply impressed him, and their discussions gradually deepened.

until...

"when!"

A crisp, clear bell rang out.

Arthur, a senior wizard apprentice dressed in a wizard's robe and with a face full of wrinkles, slowly walked out of the room.

He nodded to the crowd, forcing a smile.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting. I've packed my things, so let's begin the auction."

"Well……"

"There are a few items that will be traded privately, please understand."

"Senior Arthur," someone in the crowd spoke up.

"Did you really fail to break through?"

"...Yes." Arthur nodded, his face bitter.

"Becoming a formal wizard is far from as simple as you might imagine; no wonder some of my friends have lost their lives because of it."

"I'm alright, at least I'm still alive."

Karl sat up straight.

Not long ago, Arthur used his points to redeem a Green Potion from the league in an attempt to break through.

Many people are waiting for the results.

pity.

The breakthrough failed.

Arthur, a senior wizard apprentice, was seriously injured as a result, and his mental state became unstable. If he is not properly treated, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Since the medicine needed for treatment was expensive, Arthur simply held an auction to dispose of his belongings.

Everyone present had come after hearing the news.

"Here's a piece of advice for everyone."

Arthur spoke:

"If you want to become a formal wizard, the chances of success with just the Grimm Potion are very low."

"There are too many beings in the astral plane that can pollute our spirituality; it would be best to have a silencing potion to help us."

The silencing potion can mask a creature's spirituality, preventing it from being contaminated, but it is very expensive.

The key is,

It's said that the effect wasn't very good.

"Just the Grimm Potion alone will take who knows how long it will take to accumulate enough to get it, not to mention the Silence Potion..." someone sighed.

"I'm afraid there's no hope in this lifetime!"

"You're lucky; you have a chance to break through to the formal wizard realm. People like us with low talent wouldn't even dare to dream of it."

"Sometimes, it's actually more relaxing not to have a chance."

"yes!"

"..."

The people in the room sighed repeatedly.

Since the establishment of the Swamp Alliance, four advanced wizard apprentices have attempted to break through to the formal wizard realm.

pity.

Not a single one succeeded!

Adolf, who was the most promising candidate, not only failed, but his head exploded and he died on the spot.

This success rate,

Too small!

"alright."

Arthur rang the bell again, and Bunian brought out several books, which he placed on the central wooden post, introducing them as follows:

"The witchcraft I practice comes from the wizard Donald from hundreds of years ago, specializing in gravity and life-related magic..."

"Also involved in potion making."

"These books involve basic knowledge of gravity, and among them, 'Exploring the Stars' was written by the wizard Donald himself. Putting aside the occult knowledge in it, it has some value as a collection."

"Starting price: five magic stones!"

Gravity-based witchcraft does not belong to the natural school but to the astrological school, but it is very different from stargazing and divination.

This line of witchcraft emphasizes manipulation and usually lacks lethality, so witches in this line of witchcraft often practice other forms of witchcraft as well.

"Five and a half magic stones!"

"Six magic stones!"

"..."

Since it was occult knowledge written by a formal wizard, the bid quickly reached ten magic stones.

But it becomes difficult to raise prices further up the value chain.

It was eventually sold for eleven and a half magic stones.

"Zero-ring sorcery - Blood Summoning, a life-based sorcery that can manipulate the flow of an opponent's blood. It is completely effective against beings below the rank of knight, and even a novice sorcerer can easily kill several peak knight squires."

"Starting price is three magic stones."

Karl's eyes flickered slightly.

Three magic stones are not expensive at all, but this spell is useless against knights or great knights with strong physiques.

Or rather, it's not very useful.

Moreover, many wizarding apprentices already possess this magic, so there's no need to compete with others for it here.

finally.

The deal was made for five magic stones.

Because witchcraft can be replicated an infinite number of times, it is difficult to sell it for a high price unless it is a complete lineage.

Enchanted items are different.

……

time flies.

One by one, the items were auctioned off.

Knowledge, books, materials, potions, enchanted items, and the legacy of witchcraft occasionally cause a stir.

Every senior wizard apprentice has accumulated a great deal of knowledge and wealth, especially wizard apprentices like Arthur who have lived to be seventy or eighty years old; their accumulation is far beyond what younger apprentices can match.

Carl also acquired two potion recipes: one was "Strongman's Soup" to increase skin resistance, and the other was "Cold-Resistant Meat" to help people withstand the cold.

Total price: six magic stones.

The main problem was that there weren't many pharmacists participating in the auction, and even fewer were willing to pay for the formula, so there weren't many people competing with him.

"Mr. Carl."

As the auction was drawing to a close, Bunian approached and whispered:

"Wait a minute, please don't leave yet."

Carl nodded.

…………

The wooden cabin was lit by oil lamps, their light swaying gently, and the simple furnishings made the small but cozy room feel very warm and inviting.

Arthur, leaning on a cane, sat up unsteadily with Bunian's help, a layer of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

"Mr. Carl."

He let out a long sigh and said slowly:

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's alright," Karl said.

"Senior Arthur, you don't look well."

They had only held an auction, but the other party seemed to have done strenuous exercise and showed obvious signs of fatigue.

"It's more than just bad?" Arthur smiled bitterly, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes, but he shook his head and didn't say anything more, instead saying:

"I'm friends with Adolf, and you're friends with Bunian, so I might as well sell you some things."

"It's still better than being a stranger."

Karl's expression turned serious.

That's why he came here, but while the other party's words sound nice, the final price is what matters most.

As the heir to Adolf's legacy, a pharmacist and alchemist, Karl was quite wealthy.

This is the key reason why he was left alone in the end.

"I possess two inheritances: one is the gravity explosion of the gravity system, and the other is the life plunder of the life system."

Arthur said:

"Life Stealing has already been entrusted to an old friend, and Gravity Burst cannot give you the complete inheritance."

Karl's expression remained unchanged.

This fundamental tradition of not passing it on to outsiders is a customary practice; otherwise, it could fetch a better price at auction.

He didn't have any extravagant hopes.

Besides,

He had accumulated some magic stones, but he was still unable to afford a complete inheritance.

"Zero-ring sorcery - Gravity Distortion, priced at six magic stones; Enchanted item - Meteorite Ball, enhanced with gravity manipulation, the stronger the mental power, the greater the range of influence, priced at twenty magic stones."

Arthur spoke:

"Twenty-six magic stones in total, no bargaining!"

As he spoke, he placed a book and a dusty stone on the table, gesturing for Karl to examine them.

Twenty-six magic stones?

Karl's eyes flickered. He first picked up the stone on the table and examined it. It was a meteorite with magical power, which had been enchanted by someone.

It is of a very high rank.

He can't refine it right now, at least not at the moment.

Once activated, it can alter the magnitude of gravity around the body, potentially increasing or decreasing it by a factor of two.

When combined with a secondary spell field, its power is even greater.

As for gravitational distortion, it is a type of gravity-based sorcery that can pull distant objects closer or repel nearby objects.

When used properly, it can have unexpected and wonderful effects.

After a while.

Karl's lips twitched slightly, a hint of pain in his eyes.

"Bought it!"

Arthur smiled.

"Senior," Karl asked casually as he took out the magic stones for the transaction.

"You've seen many patients, have you ever encountered a situation where a strange thought exists within the patient's body, distorting their body and will, and possibly even contaminating those who come into contact with them?"

The Dragon King Zimerman's body exhibited these symptoms.

"Yes," Arthur nodded.

"This situation usually indicates that the spirit has been corrupted by an evil god, and there is no hope unless a deity intervenes to purify it."

"An evil god?" Karl had only asked casually, not expecting an answer, but he was taken aback by the question.

"The wizard's methods can't do it?"

"Perhaps a high-ranking wizard of the third ring or above could do it, but a second-ring wizard definitely couldn't." Arthur shook his head and asked:

"Have you encountered a follower of an evil god?"

"A person who is targeted by an evil god is beyond saving, and no god would be willing to save a believer in an evil god."

That's it!

Karl nodded slowly.

Is there an evil god in another world?

Name: Carl

Physical condition: 3.8

Mental Power: 2.7

Source quality: 0

Occupation: High Knight, Intermediate Wizard Apprentice

"Bang!"

Two broadswords crossed in the air, accompanied by surging battle energy, causing the air in front of them to suddenly vibrate rapidly.

"boom!"

The ground and air trembled violently.

Even a giant rock blocking your way will be blasted to pieces by this attack.

Karl held a broadsword in each hand, the heavy blades wielding in his hands like straw.

His extreme speed gave the swirling winds around him terrifying destructive power.

Secret Technique - Giant Form!

With a sway, Karl's size exploded, instantly transforming him into a towering giant five meters tall.

Simultaneously.

"Buzz..."

The two broadswords in his hands also grew larger, becoming giant swords over three meters long, resembling door panels.

With a gentle wave, a hurricane roared.

The broadsword was not simply transformed into a giant sword; its weight also increased from tens of kilograms to hundreds of kilograms.

The two swords weigh over a thousand pounds!

Such a violation of the law of conservation of energy is naturally due to extraordinary power, and both swords are also demonized items.

Wielding a heavy greatsword, a simple smash can easily destroy a house.

If placed on the battlefield, his charge would be a nightmare for any opposing force.

Not to mention knights,

Even among the great knights, few could withstand him head-on.

not to mention……

The magical field and changes in gravity around Karl will greatly weaken the abilities of those who get close.

Even a great knight's strength is subject to limitations.

"Bang!"

The two swords landed on the ground.

Carl's size gradually shrank, and his clothes also changed accordingly.

"At least I don't have to have my clothes ripped every time." He sheathed his broadsword, loosely clenched his fists, and muttered to himself:

"It feels so good to become stronger."

With ample medication, Karl's strength increased at a visible rate, with daily increases.

"Within one year, or at most three years, one will have enough mental strength to construct six zero-ring spells and become a high-level wizard apprentice."

"At that time, the flesh and blood modification should be able to proceed simultaneously."

…………

"Uncle."

Aya frowned:

"Something's not quite right in the city lately."

"Mmm, mmm." Leon, shoveling rice into his mouth, nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, spitting out rice grains as he spoke.

"I also felt something was wrong."

"Finish your food first. Stop wasting food. Have you forgotten when you were starving?" Aya glared at him, then turned her head to look at him.

"Uncle, do you know what happened?"

"Something must have happened within the Chamber of Commerce." Karl stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.

"It's none of our business, don't worry about it."

Two days ago, there were people guarding the vicinity of the shop, watching his every move, but now there are no people there.

This suggests that Lula no longer cares that Carl leaked the information, and it's highly likely that the information has already been leaked.

Judging by the time, that patient should have already passed away.

If it really is Zimmerman, the Chamber of Commerce will definitely become suspicious after he hasn't shown up for so long.

Even Aya and others could sense something was wrong, so the frequently reshuffling of the Chamber of Commerce's senior management must be even more aware.

"Oh, right!"

Carl asked:

"Has my order arrived yet?"

"The water monkeys have arrived," Aya replied.

"But the others haven't arrived yet. I asked the people at the freight yard, but they just kept saying they were busy and kept making excuses."

Ok?

Carl frowned:

"The money has already been paid."

"Yes!" Aya said indignantly.

"Not only were the goods not delivered, but our share of the profits for this month has also not arrived, they say the accounts are unclear."

"Our accounts are crystal clear, and there have never been any problems!"

Karl stroked his chin.

He, a member of the chamber of commerce from the bottom rungs, thought he wouldn't be affected, but it seems that's not the case.

Without the flesh and organs of legendary creatures to analyze, the subsequent sorcery of bloodline wizards would be difficult to advance.

Several days have passed.

Both broadswords have been modified, but the items still haven't arrived.

"I'll go take a look."

"Now?" Aya glanced at the sky.

"Isn't it too late?"

"It's nothing." Karl strolled forward.

"It won't be long."

The store was located near the vanilla market, and even before they got close, a hint of doubt appeared in Karl's eyes.

"Not here?"

"They've moved the location!"

He left his mark on the corpse of the Windwing Sky Lion, but now the corpse is clearly not in its original position.

"Whoosh!"

With a light tap of his foot, Karl vanished from his spot and sped off towards the city.

soon.

The sky gradually darkened.

Karl appeared in front of a manor.

"Sea routes, ships..."

In addition to the president overseeing the entire Dragon King Chamber of Commerce, the two vice presidents and Lula each take charge of a portion of the affairs.

"This is Vice President Jasper's territory!"

No wonder he couldn't get the goods; they had already changed hands, and he had offended Jasper in the past.

When the situation of the Chamber of Commerce is unclear, it is perfectly normal to put things on hold temporarily.

even,

If Lula doesn't ultimately gain control of the Chamber of Commerce, no one will dare say anything even if the goods aren't given out.

With a quick glance, Karl silently evaded the patrolmen, slipped into the shadows of a corner, and silently sensed the movement.

backyard!

His eyes lit up immediately.

Magic trick—silence!

Combat Technique - Conceal Breath!

Adolf not only possesses two complete lineages, but also a large collection of magic tricks and zero-ring sorcery.

Silencing

It is one of them.

After performing a spell, the sound of the caster's movements will be reduced, making it less likely to attract the attention of others.

"Since you won't give it to me, I'll just take it myself. I've already paid for it, so it's not like I'm taking advantage of you."

Karl muttered something under his breath, then silently leaped into the air and into the courtyard.

It landed silently.

The sound of footsteps on the grass stems seemed to be erased by an invisible force, leaving no trace.

The concealment combat technique derived from the Giant Spirit Breathing Method can further suppress the aura on his body, so even a hunting dog with an amazing sense of smell would never detect his presence.

This place is heavily guarded and should be a very important stronghold controlled by Jasper, yet it couldn't stop him.

"Whoosh!"

"Swish!"

Avoiding the patrolling guards, Karl quickly approached the backyard.

The senses of the Windwing Sky Lion became increasingly clear.

"call……"

Its robust and imposing figure leaped over the courtyard wall and landed lightly, like a nimble swallow.

And now, today's goal has finally appeared before us.

This is a courtyard of moderate size, with several large iron cages placed inside, each containing a ferocious beast.

The corpse of the Windwing Sky Lion was right in the center.

The corpse's abdomen had been cut open, and some flesh and tissue had been removed. Its wings were also tattered.

To an ordinary person, this is a horrifying corpse.

For knights and great knights, the flesh and blood of legendary creatures are highly nutritious and extremely valuable.

For Karl,

The corpse in front of me is a treasure trove!

Once the corpse is analyzed, the prerequisite for becoming a bloodline wizard will be met, and physical modification can be performed.

"You promised to deliver the goods, but you're refusing to do so. As compensation, it's not unreasonable for me to take the rest of the corpses with me, is it?"

Carl looked completely at ease.

He came all this way and put in so much effort; he wouldn't be satisfied if he only took a little bit.

He stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the iron gate, and just as he was about to open it, he raised an eyebrow.

The iron cage had an iron door, which was locked, but in this deserted courtyard, the lock was open.

Who would be so careless?

Do not!

Someone has broken in!

"laugh!"

A faint whooshing sound came from behind.

A dark figure appeared out of thin air, like a ghost in the night, and thrust out the long sword in its hand with a flick of its arm.

The longsword pierced the air with astonishing speed.

dead!

The shadowy figure's eyes were cold and devoid of emotion; he had killed too many people and it had become commonplace.

As the Brotherhood of Scythe's top assassin, he launched a sneak attack from behind when they were within arm's reach.

Even if he were a great knight, he would be confident enough to succeed.

not to mention……

The black night sky above suddenly gathered, transforming into a figure wielding a dagger that lunged at Karl's head.

Signs—Shadows!

Signs – Night Walkers!

Both of these hand seals have the effect of allowing the user to blend into darkness, thus increasing their strength in the night.

The two of them have never failed when they work together.

"Um?"

"Huh!"

A gasp of surprise rang out.

However, an invisible force appeared before the blade, causing the two to momentarily halt their lightning-fast movements.

Do not!

Not just one stock.

Rather, they are several forces!

An invisible force field slowed their movement, and the immense pressure made them freeze.

Water suddenly appeared around them, forming a whirlpool that pulled them inwards.

Zero-Circle Sorcery - Lesser Spell Field!

Zero-level sorcery - Water Vortex!

Enchanted Meteorite Ball - Double Gravity!

and also,

The Great Knight unleashed his overwhelming power!

Karl slowly turned around, his expression calm, his gaze sweeping over the two slow-moving assassins in front of him.

"knight?"

"It seems that besides me, there are others who have their eyes on the benefits of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce. You're just too unlucky to have run into me."

This is normal.

With the Dragon King gone and internal conflicts raging, the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce is easy prey for other powers.

I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't take a bite.

If it weren't for Carl, the two would have already succeeded.

But against a mid-level wizard apprentice armed to the teeth, the knight couldn't even get close.

"Night Walker!"

Karl's gaze lingered on one of them for a moment, his eyes flashing.

When he first arrived at Free Port, someone used this Dharma Seal as a reward for his recruitment.

pity!

"Are you from the Brotherhood of the Scythe?"

The man in black in front of him narrowed his eyes and suddenly increased his speed.

With the blessing of the magic seal and in the darkness of night, his explosive power instantly reached the peak of the knight level.

Combat Technique - Thrust!

Extreme speed and sudden burst of power allowed him to break through numerous limitations and rush towards Karl.

"puff!"

A ball of water appeared out of thin air.

The longsword pierced the water sphere, its speed slowed down for a moment, but it continued to advance after a slight pause.

"bite……"

A suit of jet-black armor blocked his path once more. Karl raised his left hand, the ring gleaming faintly.

Zero-level magic - Azure Wave Protection!

Enchanted item—Guna!

The man in black felt a sudden weakness, and despair crept into his eyes.

"Even a peak knight unleashing his full power can't break through the defense?" Karl muttered to himself, then gently waved his arm.

"Whoosh!"

"puff!"

A flash of cold light disappeared in an instant, and the two corpses collapsed to the ground.

Although he had only recently been promoted to Grand Knight, no one other than a Grand Knight posed any threat to him.

Peak Knight...

He can kill them with a flick of his wrist!

"I wonder what would happen if we encountered a Grand Knight?"

He calmly stroked his chin, manipulated the water flow to sweep the corpse aside, and reached out to grab the corpse in the cage.

"receive!"

"Um!"

Karl let out a muffled groan, his body trembling slightly.

This was the first time he had realized how strenuous it was to carry something exceeding a certain weight to the fragments of the divine realm.

It's like eating a big mouthful of food, but your mouth is limited, so you can only swallow a little bit at a time.

a long time.

The void trembled suddenly, and Karl, along with the corpse of the Windwing Sky Lion in the iron cage, vanished at the same time.

Fragments of the Divine Realm.

"call……"

Karl's body went limp, and he almost collapsed to the ground. It took him a long time to recover his strength.

When they returned to the other world, they were met with chaos.
