Chapter 98 Centrifugal Forces (Please add to your favorites)

"Mr. Carl."

Jacqueline bowed respectfully:

"Knight As's father wants to see you. He happens to have a few of the Great Divine Graces you mentioned last time."

"Oh!" Karl stopped mixing the potion, turned around, and looked at him thoughtfully:

"Yeah?"

"Yes." Jacqueline nodded.

"Elder Henry instructed that if you find it inconvenient, you can arrange to meet at the Dragon King Merchant Guild's tavern."

"No need for that," Karl said with a faint smile.

"I'll pack up and head over now."

He then gestured for the other party to wait outside and called Aya over.

"Uncle."

Aya frowned instinctively after hearing the situation:

"Is it not a good idea to meet with the Brotherhood of Scythes at this time? Miss Lula would probably be unhappy."

"Henry the Eagle is a competent businessman, and Yass is my friend. Meeting him shouldn't be a problem." Carl straightened his clothes.

"We only have a cooperative relationship with Lula; we are not subordinate to each other, and she is well aware of this."

"but……"

"Henry specifically requested to see me?"

He shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything more.

Before he became a senior wizard apprentice, he might have had some concerns, but now that he has advanced, he has enough confidence to deal with danger. Besides, it is worth making a special trip for the sake of the Great God's grace.

"Tell the crow where you want to meet, and he'll know what to do."

"Yes."

Aya should be.

Among the Grand Knights of the Dragon King Merchant Guild, Raven is the most mysterious. He possesses a special magic seal that is said to allow him to survive even when facing a Grand Knight of peak level.

…………

"Bang!"

Emma, ​​her face contorted with rage, slammed her wine glass to the ground, shattering it and sending shivers down the spines of the servants around her.

"Karl!"

Her cheek muscles twitched:

"As a member of the Dragon King Merchant Guild, why would he secretly meet with an elder of the Scythe Brotherhood?"

"Mother," Lula said softly.

"Mr. Carl is a sentimental man, and he has a good relationship with Henry the Eagle's son, Yass. There is no reason for us to stop him."

"Besides, since he had Uncle Crow tell us the news, it doesn't count as a private meeting; it's also to put our minds at ease."

"Don't worry?" Emma scoffed.

"If you really want to put people at ease, you shouldn't meet them in the first place!"

"It seems Karl isn't entirely trustworthy either. You need to find a way to get the Berserk Potion formula, then..."

"snort!"

"Mother!" Lula sighed.

"The place where Henry arranged to meet Mr. Carl is not far from the slums; it could be a trap."

"Let's get people ready first."

"Mr. Carl is very important to our chamber of commerce, and we must not allow him to be in danger under any circumstances."

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that the Dragon King Merchant Guild has not fallen into decline, especially after taking over Jasper's power, it is easy to dispatch some knights.

With a troop of knights accompanying you, you'll have a chance to escape danger.

"Prepare, prepare what?" Unexpectedly, Emma raised an eyebrow and spoke thoughtfully:

"If it really is a trap, it's also an opportunity for us."

"Um?"

Lula Noodles looked surprised.

…………

Henry the Eagle was steady and reliable, and his character had stood the test of time, which earned him Carl's trust.

The carriage moved slowly along the road.

The muddy and rugged roads put the carriage's shock absorption capabilities to a severe test.

Aromatherapy was lit and blankets were laid out in the carriage, creating a warm atmosphere that allowed Karl to gradually relax.

Nobody's coming!

"It seems that I, a high-ranking knight and apothecary, am not highly regarded in the Dragon King Merchant Guild."

"Given Lula's personality, she wouldn't have left without sending people over, so... it was Mrs. Emma's decision?"

Karl shook his head slightly.

In his view, both Emma and Lula had personality flaws.

Emma is too assertive, and sometimes even unreasonable, so it's no wonder that many people have opinions about her.

Her abilities surpass those of the two vice presidents, yet no one has ever suggested that she take over as president.

Lula, on the contrary.

Her personality is too weak.

Perhaps it is because she has a strong-willed mother that she lacks assertiveness in crucial moments.

If Lula wants to truly grow up, she probably has no choice but to break free from her domineering mother.

Ok?

"parking!"

"Whoa!"

Jacqueline gently pulled on the reins, bringing the carriage to a stop:

"Mr. Carl, what's wrong?"

At some point, a light drizzle began to fall outside, and a faint mist permeated Free Harbor.

Karl lifted the curtain and stepped down from the carriage, looking ahead in the rain.

Ahead was a long street, no different from other places, except that there were fewer pedestrians because of the rain.

But in Karl's perception, the air was filled with a chilling aura, like a giant, interwoven net, silently waiting for its prey to fall into it.

With powerful telepathy, they can even "see" figures hidden in streets and houses.

They held their bows and arrows high, gripped their weapons tightly, held their breath, and listened intently for orders from somewhere.

These people have the skill to conceal their life force, but they cannot hide their mental fluctuations.

Those clusters of intense spiritual energy were almost completely visible to the advanced wizard apprentice's senses.

Karl lowered his head.

Look at your arm.

The fine hairs that were originally close to the skin had suddenly stood up, and the spider senses also gave a warning.

Ugh!

With a sigh, Karl shook his head helplessly:

"never mind!"

"Let's go back."

Henry the Eagle betrayed his trust, perhaps for other reasons, but Carl didn't intend to care.

However, it will be difficult for the relationship to return to what it was before.

"go back?"

Jacqueline looked surprised:

"Mr. Carl, we'll be there soon."

Carl turned his head, looked intently at Jacqueline, as if to confirm her attitude, and then chuckled:

"It's alright, just say I'm not feeling well, and I'm sure Mr. Henry will understand."

"Hmm!"

"It seems it's too late."

He turned around and looked at the long street ahead.

"Buzz..."

A slight tremor sounded, and the drizzle suddenly intensified, with countless 'raindrops' whistling down from the sky.

Arrow rain!

The rain obscured the sun, completely covering the spot where Karl was standing, and even the surrounding area.

"Be careful!"

Jacqueline screamed instinctively, her right hand gripping the hilt of her sword, her eyes filled with despair.

The rain of arrows was too rapid and too dense, leaving no room to dodge, and it was impossible to block them all.

"Whoosh!"

Just as he was about to close his eyes and await death, a stream of water appeared out of thin air and instantly transformed into a huge water sphere with a diameter of six or seven meters, enveloping the two of them.

Zero-level magic - Azure Wave Protection!

Water is soft, yet it possesses extreme resilience.

Even bullets traveling faster than the speed of sound will quickly lose their kinetic energy when they fall into water, and arrows are no exception.

not to mention.

The water sphere formed by the Azure Wave Guardian is not stationary; it is constantly rotating rapidly inside.

An incoming attack will be quickly dissipated if it cannot break through the defense in an instant.

"puff!"

"Pfft!"

Countless arrows pierced the water sphere, their speed suddenly slowed down, and they were then flung away by the swirling water.

"collapse!"

A tremor sounded.

Before the sound reached the eardrums, three giant arrows, each over two meters long, pierced the water sphere.

The water rippled.

Karl narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the arrow rapidly approaching him, and raised his right hand slightly.

Zero-Circle Spell - Lesser Mage Force Field!

With the defensive power stacked up, all the incoming attacks suddenly stopped, and three giant arrows also stopped right in front of his face.

The person who set the trap was clearly aware of the Great Knight's defensive capabilities, and launched a saturation attack right from the start.

It was as if dozens of knights were charging in from all directions, wielding their weapons and hacking wildly, leaving no chance to catch their breath.

Ordinary great knights would indeed find it difficult to withstand, and even if they did manage to block it, they would inevitably be injured.

However,

Karl's defensive capabilities far surpass those of ordinary great knights!

Even a peak Grand Knight cannot compare to him; this kind of attack poses no threat to him at all.

"Whoosh!"

A figure flashed before their eyes, and two immense auras surged forth.

Great Knight!

Karl's expression hardened.

He thought the Brotherhood of the Sickles might be a threat to him, but the most likely scenario was that he should try to win them over.

They'll only resort to force if they can't win someone over.

Therefore, the first meeting was theoretically not very dangerous, which was one of the reasons he agreed to come.

Unexpected,

The opponent doesn't play by the rules at all; they just go straight for the kill.

"call……"

A great knight opened his mouth and exhaled a wisp of cold air, which instantly turned into a white mist.

Where the cold air has reached, everything is frozen.

The water sphere that the Azure Wave Guardian had transformed into instantly turned into an ice block, and the two people inside were also turned into ice sculptures.

Superior Sign - Frost Dragon's Breath!

Another great knight flickered and transformed into a cloud of smoke, ignoring the ice layer and approaching the interior.

He held a strange longsword in his hand. With a slight tremor of the blade, countless sword marks appeared in the ice.

"snort!"

On the rooftop of a house in the distance, Second Elder Baird sneered upon seeing this:

"Perhaps he is quite strong, but he has only been a Grand Knight for a short time and lacks experience in fighting against experts of the same level."

"Frost Maiden and Grey Shadow should be enough."

"Yes." Beside him, a slender young woman smiled.

"If we're going to do something, we're going to do it thoroughly. Since we've offended him before, we might as well just kill him."

"That guy Yas actually wants me to apologize to him in order to gain his trust. How ridiculous!"

"Not bad." Baird nodded.

"You must always remember this..."

"Um?"

Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed.

"Click..."

"Snap!"

A crisp, crackling sound emanated from within the ice cubes.

Karl's face was grim, his body trembled slightly, and the battle aura accumulated within him exploded like ignited explosives.

Combat Technique - Bloom!

"boom!"

The huge block of ice shattered instantly, and the great knight who rushed close to him had to retreat and dodge.

"Guna!"

Karl raised his hand, and his armor automatically covered his entire body. Turning his head, he saw that Jacqueline had already lost all signs of life.

Her body was frozen into an ice sculpture, then cut by a sharp blade, and shattered into countless ice blocks along with the ice ball.

"The Brotherhood of the Sickle!"

Karl took a deep breath, and the two swords at his waist were drawn with a clang, a hazy aura mixed with battle energy surging out.

"die!"

Combat Technique - Gale Slash!

A myriad of sword shadows descended from the sky, instantly enveloping both great knights, unleashing a torrent of violent battle energy.

"when……"

"Jingle bells..."

"Bang!"

During the collision, a figure staggered out, his face deathly pale, his eyes filled with terror.

"What happened?"

Frost Maiden clenched her teeth:

"He has a health problem!"

As soon as she gets close to Karl, several invisible forces act on her, slowing her movement speed and weakening her attack power.

It's like fighting someone while carrying a huge mountain on your back; just resisting this force takes up most of your energy.

You can only unleash 40% of your full potential.

In addition, Karl was already quite strong, and his defense was so exaggerated that he could withstand all their attacks.

How can we fight like this?

On the contrary, his companion Gray Shadow, whose magic seals allowed his body to become somewhat ethereal and thus less affected by the force field, was still struggling against Karl's rapid attacks.

"Release the arrows!"

Seeing that Gray Shadow was about to collapse, Frost Maiden shouted urgently:

"Shoot the arrows!"

With a gritted lip, she grabbed two short swords and charged forward, quickly drawing her sword despite the pressure surrounding her.

For now, we can only weather this storm and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Fortunately, the Second Elder invested heavily in this operation, and the Grand Knights who came were not just the two of them.

"collapse!"

"Swish!"

Arrows rained down again.

This time, the main threats were large crossbow bolts and even ballistae, enough to pose a threat to the Grand Knight.

snort!

Karl let out a cold snort. He had originally planned not to pay any attention to those on the periphery, but now it seemed...

"open!"

Secret Technique - Giant Form!

"boom!"

moment.

A giant standing over five meters tall appeared in the arena, wielding two giant swords to deflect incoming arrows.

At the same time, one foot is raised.

The surrounding mental fluctuations and life force appeared in Karl's perception like red dots.

A terrifying power accumulated within him, and the earth pulsated like breathing until it reached a certain point.

Superb Dharma Seal - Earth-Shattering!

Stepping down with one foot.

"boom!"

A thunderous roar echoed across half of Free Port, the ground cracking beneath Karl's feet, fissures spreading like a spiderweb, dust and rubble flying everywhere, the air thick with dust and surging energy, and rows of houses collapsing with a deafening crash.

The terrifying shockwave knocked down all living things within dozens of meters in front of them.

The shock caused the knights' squires to fall unconscious on the spot, while the knights themselves were weak, numb, and unable to move.

The great knight was also pale-faced and his legs were trembling.

Unfortunately,

There were two waves of attacks.

Under the influence of the supreme-grade magic seal, the soil beneath the earth transformed into sharp stone spikes, which suddenly pierced through the ground.

"puff!"

"Pfft!"

moment.

Dozens of figures were pierced through the body by stone spikes, hanging in mid-air, their shrill screams and wails never ceasing.

The red dots that had been sensed as symbols of life disappeared almost instantly.

The remaining ones were also barely breathing.

"Buzz..."

Having dealt with the troublesome minions, Karl trembled slightly as he slashed down at the two great knights with his twin greatswords.

Combat Technique - Divine Judgment!

"boom!"

The earth trembled violently, and the surging battle energy coalesced into a tornado, sweeping forward with ever-increasing power.

"Bang!"

The Frost Maiden was the first to be eliminated, spitting out blood as she flew backward. After landing, her body trembled, and she was unable to get up for a moment.

Because of the magic seal, the gray shadow could become ethereal at any time, which allowed it to barely hold on.

only……

"Is all you can do to hide?"

"come out!"

The giant that Karl had transformed into wielded a giant sword and charged through the streets, causing houses to collapse and the earth to crack in its wake.

"Damn rat, you little mouse, if you've got the guts, come out and face me head-on! Come out!"

"boom!"

Houses collapsed one after another, and walls crumbled.

The gray shadow desperately dodged and weaved, but under the suppression of various force fields, its speed continued to slow down.

They had no choice but to draw their swords to intercept.

"when……"

wrong!

The unusual sound of the collision made the gray figure's eyes narrow, and he secretly thought something was wrong.

But at some point, the longsword in his hand suddenly turned grayish-white, and its material changed from mixed iron to stone.

Stone sword?

Oh no!

"Bang!"

The stone sword shattered, and the gray shadow's body was also struck by the sweeping sword, spitting blood as it was smashed into a pile of ruins.

"stop!"

"Mr. Carl, please stop!"

A figure darted in from afar, like a hawk flying close to the ground, calling out:

"Mr. Carl, this is a misunderstanding. Please stop, have mercy..."

"Bang!"

Before he could finish speaking, Karl had already swung his greatsword down, hacking the gray shadow's body into a pile of minced meat.

At the same time, he strode toward the immobile Frost Maiden.

"Karl!"

Henry gritted his teeth, his wrist trembled, and he shouted:

"Please stop. This time, it was our Scythe Brotherhood that was in the wrong, and we are willing to compensate with divine grace."

Great God, may I receive your grace?

Karl paused slightly, slowly turned around, and then reached out and grabbed the Frost Maiden from the ground.

With a gentle squeeze, the already dazed Frost Maiden fainted instantly.

"Use divine grace in exchange for people!"

Karl groaned, then leaped away, disappearing into the distance.

*

Monroe, the vice president of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce, is mainly responsible for the chamber's internal affairs and liaison on land.

He was short and of average appearance, known for his ruthless methods, but he was very caring towards those around him.

Therefore, the number of loyalists is the largest.

"master."

The servant spoke in a low voice:

"The Brotherhood of Scythes has sent word that they plan to take action against Alchemist Karl, at the behest of the Second Elder."

"Balder?" Monroe frowned.

"Do the other elders agree? How confident is he?"

"Few elders agreed; most acquiesced, except for the Fourth Elder, Henry, who explicitly expressed his opposition," the servant said.

"The Second Elder has made many preparations, so the chances of success should be very high."

"That's how he always does things," Monroe scoffed.

"If it succeeds, that would be great; it would also be a blow to that crazy woman Emma. I'm just afraid it won't work."

"Creak..."

He pushed open the door, and his expression suddenly changed.

This is his residence, heavily guarded outside, but there is someone in the room who shouldn't be there.

"Lura!"

"Uncle Monroe." Lula stood with her hands behind her back, admiring a relief on the wall, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"This should depict the scene when my father founded the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce. Decades have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Yes." Monroe winked at the servant and stepped into the room.

"Back then, your father led twelve of us to establish the Chamber of Commerce, and we've come this far step by step."

"I will never forget that scene."

Recalling those days, his voice was filled with emotion.

"If that's the case, why does Uncle Monroe insist on splitting up the Chamber of Commerce?" Lula turned around, looking puzzled.

"The Chamber of Commerce is something you've built up through hard work; it hasn't come easy for you to be where you are today. Why have things come to this?"

"You'd have to ask your father, ask your mother," Munro sneered.

"The Chamber of Commerce was built by all of us working together. Why should it be called the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce? Do you think I wanted to be the vice president of this Chamber of Commerce? If it weren't for your father, I would have had many more options."

He stepped forward and looked at the relief on the wall:

"How many of the brothers who fought alongside me back then are still around?"

"If you have someone to blame, blame your father for being too domineering and your mother for being too domineering, and for not being able to tolerate anyone else."

"Lura".

Monroe turned his head to look at her, his eyes filled with complex emotions:

"If it weren't for your mother, I might not mind giving you the position of president. I watched you grow up, and I know your personality very well."

"..." Lula was silent for a moment before slowly speaking:

"Uncle Monroe, please stay!"

"Stay?" Monroe scoffed.

"Too late!"

"Uncle Crow is outside cleaning up your men, and Mother could be here at any moment. You have no choice." Lura shook her head.

"Stay, or..."

"Or what?" Monroe asked.

"Kill me?"

"Pharmacist Karl is being besieged by the Brotherhood of Scythes. Instead of going to rescue him, you came here. Was that your mother's decision?"

"Uncle Monroe." Lura frowned.

"There's no point in saying this now; you've already lost."

Monroe's expression froze.

Also!

Now he has no helpers by his side, and he may not even have a chance of winning against Lula, who is wielding the wrath of the Dragon King.

Moreover, there are also crows and others.

With the Brotherhood of Scythes' attention drawn to Carl, no one could offer him any help.

"You win."

His cheek muscles twitched, and Monroe said in a muffled voice:

"But I can't stay with the Dragon King Merchant Guild any longer. You can have everything else, but I'm leaving with my own people."

"This..." Lula Noodles hesitated, then slowly nodded after thinking for a moment:

"Can!"

"What can it be?"

Just then, a cold voice rang out.

"No one can take anything from the Dragon King Merchant Guild, not a single person!"

"Bang!"

The window shattered, and a corpse was thrown in from outside.

When Monroe saw the corpse clearly, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and boundless rage surged from his heart.

Completely burn away reason.

"Barry!"

He couldn't help but roar in fury:

"My child..."

"Hmph!" Emma maneuvered her vines in from outside, her face cold, her gaze sweeping over Lula:

"I knew you'd soften up, you good-for-nothing!"

Then he added:

"No one can dismantle the Dragon King Merchant Guild, and no one can take anything from it, including you!"

"Monroe!"

"You and your child are both part of the Dragon King Merchant Guild, and that cannot be changed even in death."

"Ah!" Monroe roared to the sky.

"You crazy woman, I'm going to kill you!"

"boom!"

Battle energy surged forth and charged towards Emma.

Although he was slightly weaker, he was consumed by rage and only attacked without defending, causing Emma to fall to the bottom.

"Lura!"

Emma yelled:

"What are you doing? Get to work!"

"..." Lula's eyes flickered, and she finally sighed, clenching her fists and striking towards Monroe:

"Uncle Monroe, I'm sorry."

…………

The weather has been humid lately, and every morning a thick fog blankets Freeport.

right now,

Even at midday, the fog showed no signs of dissipating.

Although it wasn't pitch black, you couldn't see people several meters away.

"Click..."

Lula opened a wooden box and placed it in front of Karl:

"These are five divine favors that I found with Monroe. I'm sorry about what happened last time."

"Hmm." Karl said calmly, picking up a large coin and weighing it in his hand.

"I heard that Madam was injured?"

"Yes." Lula nodded.

"His left arm was cut off because Uncle Monroe... he used special methods, and it's probably impossible to reattach it."

Monroe ultimately died at the hands of the mother and daughter, but Emma was also seriously injured.

From now on, I can only be a one-armed lady.

"Please give my regards to the lady."

Karl put away the Great Divine Grace and walked towards the door:

"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Lula opened her mouth, but didn't know how to start, after all, what happened a few days ago had become a knot in her heart.

They put Karl in danger to distract him and take the opportunity to resolve internal conflicts within the Chamber of Commerce.

Although he killed Monroe, he also alienated Carl.

"Ugh!"

With a sigh, Lula slowly withdrew her gaze.

Now that the chamber of commerce has resolved its internal conflicts, it's not too late to find ways to ease tensions between the two sides.

"Aya."

Karl got into the carriage:

"Go to As's tavern."

"Yes."

Aya responded, flicking the reins and urging her horse forward.

The fog is getting thicker and thicker.

coastal.

A dilapidated merchant ship slowly emerged from the mist, its tattered sails and shattered deck seemingly telling tales of some tragic accident.

"arrive!"

"A free port".

A figure appeared on the deck, gazing into the distance towards the city lord's mansion.
