Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 131

Chapter 131: Dream-Devouring Silkworms

This was Karl’s first time leaving the market for a long journey, and it was under almost no preparation.

Standing on the back of the gargoyle, he lowered his head to look down, and all that entered his eyes was a dense forest, with endless stretches of green.

The giant trees formed a canopy, blocking out the mountains, hills, and even rivers, and there were countless strange and uniquely shaped trees.

From time to time, he could see strange beasts and magical creatures shuttling back and forth, and even wizard apprentices and knights participating in hunts.

Such a scene made him involuntarily show amazement.

It was truly a magical creation; the primeval forests in his memories from his previous life could not compare to the scene before him.

“It is said that the Magic Forest was the final battlefield of the War of the Gods, and the fall of the gods created the unique terrain here,”

Seeing his eyes full of curiosity, Milia said,

“Especially the goddesses who controlled life and plants, their divine bodies scattered across the land, making the vegetation even more lush.”

Life!

Plants!

Karl subconsciously looked at Wizard Marianne.

No wonder she came to the Magic Forest. This woman, who was trained by the Grey-Robed Wizard Addison, was following the path of life and plants, and there should be many benefits to cultivating here.

“The great war between the gods caused irreversible damage to this area. Mutated magical creatures, irregular astral tides, and disasters from other dimensions cause beast tides to occur every so often.”

Milia sighed,

“However, sometimes people are more dangerous than the beast tides.”

She didn’t know what she was thinking about, but suddenly became silent, and her expression became a bit gloomy.

“We’re here!”

About three hundred miles away from the market, Wizard Blaze narrowed his eyes and gently waved his hand.

“Whoosh…”

The gargoyle beneath their feet retracted its wings and fell downwards. When it was close to the ground, it extended its wings and landed smoothly.

The movement was smooth and seamless, making people marvel.

The group got off the gargoyle’s back in succession, and Blaze said to Marianne,

“A few days ago, someone discovered a Nightmare Horse nearby. If it’s there, the Dream-Devouring Silkworms will definitely be there too.”

“Next, we’ll have to trouble you to find its location.”

The Dream-Devouring Silkworm’s favorite host is the Nightmare Horse, which can control dreams. There should be at least four or five Dream-Devouring Silkworms on one Nightmare Horse. This is common knowledge.

“Mm.”

Marianne nodded, holding her staff and coming to an open area. She narrowed her eyes and slowly squatted down, touching the grass on the ground with her staff.

First-Circle Spell ━ Whisper of Life!

This was a spell that could communicate with plants, and because it was too complex, even formal wizards rarely managed to master it.

Not only had she mastered it, but she was also very proficient in it.

Invisible mental fluctuations, through the spell model and the staff in her hand, quietly expanded in all directions.

Countless points of light appeared in her perception, and inexplicable whispers echoed in her ears, telling all kinds of information.

Suddenly.

“Found it!”

Marianne opened her eyes and pointed forward:

“Over there!”

“Good.”

Blaze was overjoyed. He had indeed found the right person this time. Marianne’s efficiency was higher than he had imagined.

“Let’s go.”

Soon.

The group appeared near a stream.

An invisibility spell formed a huge cover, enveloping the group and concealing their auras.

Milia’s eyes showed fear, and she said in a low voice,

“Is that the Nightmare Horse?”

“Yes!”

Blaze nodded:

“A First-Order Superb Creature, a branch of the legendary creature, the Unicorn. It is said to be an existence from a certain layer of hell.”

Not far away.

A black horse was lowering its head to drink water from the stream.

It had fiery red manes and tail hair that seemed to float, and its body was a circle larger than an ordinary horse. Although it was very real, it gave people a sense of illusion.

And what Karl was most familiar with was the innate aura of fear.

Aura of Fear!

It also had an Aura of Fear, but its power was weaker than the Abyssal Giant Squid’s, and it could only deter some weaker life forms.

Nightmare Horse!

A legendary creature, said to possess the ability to manipulate lightning and travel through dreams, immune to most mental and physical attacks.

“Let’s go!”

Blaze waved his hand:

“Slowly retreat, don’t disturb it.”

A First-Order Superb Creature meant that even if he and Marianne joined forces, they probably wouldn’t be a match.

Even,

Even a Second-Circle Wizard might not be able to capture it, after all, the Nightmare Horse could travel through dreams and leave at any time.

Fortunately, this creature was not warlike, and its attacks were mainly mental attacks. With preparation, they didn’t need to be afraid.

The main concern was that they would scare the Nightmare Horse away, and then they would not be able to get the Dream-Devouring Silkworms.

After retreating a distance, making sure they wouldn’t disturb the Nightmare Horse, Blaze took out a wooden box from his body.

The wooden box was small, only the size of a child’s palm, and various complex patterns and symbols were drawn on it.

“Click!”

Opening the wooden box, there was a black pill inside.

“Fire!”

Blaze whispered.

A flame appeared and entered the pill. The pill glowed slightly and then began to emit a wisp of smoke.

“This is Dream-Inducing Incense, it can create all kinds of dreams, and it can be used to attract Dream-Devouring Silkworms.”

Milia explained:

“However, the range of influence of Dream-Inducing Incense is not large, so it must be used near the Dream-Devouring Silkworms.”

“This is also why we needed to join forces with Wizard Marianne.”

She had a certain fondness for Karl, who was good at running a business, and the two of them chatted quietly along the way, gradually becoming familiar with each other.

Karl understood.

The things in the wizarding world were strange and varied, and there were too many things he had never seen or known about.

After lighting the pill, everyone retreated.

The wooden box was placed on a tree stump, and wisps of white smoke rose from it, floating into the air and then quietly dissipating.

Will it work?

A trace of doubt flashed in Karl’s eyes, but the next moment his eyes lit up, and his breathing hitched.

A white, plump creature resembling a silkworm suddenly appeared in the smoke.

It wriggled its body and approached the Dream-Inducing Incense.

Dream-Devouring Silkworm!

It really came!

This kind of creature lived by relying on dreams. According to the records in the wizard’s books, it was a creature from the dream world.

And the dream world was very different from the real world in many ways.

“Babby!”

Blaze waved his hand at the guard to the side, and at the same time, a spell fell on the other party.

First-Circle Spell ━ Ignore!

This was a spell that made people subconsciously ignore one’s existence.

With this spell on, one could move around ordinary people and not be noticed as long as they didn’t go too far. Many wizards used it to have affairs.

Babby held his breath and silently approached the wooden box.

His movements were light and fast, like a breeze, quietly passing over the wooden box in the field.

The key was that there were no mental fluctuations of a wizard on his body, which just happened to be able to deceive the Dream-Devouring Silkworm’s perception.

“Click!”

The lid of the box closed.

This also meant that the Dream-Devouring Silkworm was trapped in the box.

“Good!”

Blaze’s face showed joy. At least one portion of the Silence Potion could be refined from one Dream-Devouring Silkworm, and sometimes even two or three portions could be produced.

And their goal for this trip was only three portions.

Putting away the wooden box that trapped the Dream-Devouring Silkworm, he took out a new wooden box and lit the Dream-Inducing Incense inside.

Karl’s gaze fell on that Babby, and he asked curiously,

“Does this knight have the Duke’s Bloodline?”

“Duke’s Bloodline?” Milia shook her head:

“No.”

“He was promoted to Legendary after receiving the Ancestor’s baptism.”

The Ancestor that Milia mentioned was naturally the Second-Circle Wizard of the Capet Family, that existence who had lived for hundreds of years.

“Second-Circle Wizard…” Karl looked surprised:

“Can they help knights break through their limits?”

“Yes!” Milia nodded:

“Don’t you know?”

“…” Karl smiled bitterly:

“I’m really not too clear.”

“Well, maybe you’re too focused on cultivating wizardry, so you don’t know much about the path of the knight.” Milia didn’t think too much about it and explained:

“The Legendary Knight is an improvement in the essence of life. In addition to having the foundation of a Peak Grand Knight, they also need the help of a higher-level existence to break through.”

“The power hidden within the body itself, the blessings of the gods, the baptism of a Second-Circle Wizard, or some special potions…”

The power within the body itself should refer to the Duke’s Bloodline. Karl also knew about the blessings of the gods, but he didn’t expect there to be other ways.

“Special potions?”

Karl’s eyes flickered:

“What potions can help knights break through?”

“Does Mr. Karl have friends who are walking the path of the knight?” Milia turned her head to look at him, shaking her head and saying:

“Knights cultivate for a lifetime, and they are still just mortals. When I was young and ignorant, I also made friends who didn’t have wizarding talent, but…”

“Now I understand that the only ones who can truly accompany us to the end are those who walk the same path as us, the path of the wizard.”

Her tone was calm, without any condescending arrogance, but it was even more cold and cruel.

Knights,

are not qualified to be friends with wizards!

Just like Babby in the field, even if he was a Legendary Knight, he was still just a servant of the Capet Family.

“Yes.” Karl nodded:

“I understand, I’m just… asking.”

Just asking?

Milia shook her head gently.

It seemed that the other party was still not giving up. He probably wanted to help his friends break through, to continue their friendship or love. She had seen this kind of situation many times before.

“The potions that can help knights break through to Legendary require the power of the source. Second-Circle Wizards are reluctant to part with such potions.”

“Here it comes again!”

The two of them subconsciously lowered their bodies and looked at the Dream-Devouring Silkworm that had appeared on the Dream-Inducing Incense again.

“Click!”

The lid of the box closed.

“Good!”

If it weren’t for the fear of disturbing the nearby Nightmare Horse, Blaze would almost have laughed out loud.

Two Dream-Devouring Silkworms, easily obtained. If there were no accidents, that would be enough for the Silence Potion.

Of course,

the more of this kind of thing, the better.

He took out another wooden box and placed it in the field, lit the Dream-Inducing Incense, and retreated with some anticipation.

***

Not long after.

Another Dream-Devouring Silkworm appeared in the smoke generated by the burning incense, wriggling its body towards the wooden box.

The third one!

Everyone held their breath.

When the Dream-Devouring Silkworm crawled into the wooden box, Babby rushed out again.

Huh?

Karl’s heart suddenly trembled.

It was as if an invisible string had been touched, his skin tightened, his pupils dilated, and his heart beat suddenly increased.

Danger!

“That’s not right!”

“Be careful!”

Marianne and Blaze spoke at the same time. The keen senses of formal wizards allowed them to also detect the abnormality.

And at this time,

Babby had already pressed down on the lid of the box.

The next moment.

“Boom!”

A dazzling ball of fire appeared before their eyes, and the exploding light directly blinded everyone present.

Including the formal wizards!

And the Legendary Knight Babby, in the instant of the explosion, his body was torn into pieces by the huge force, without any ability to resist.

Danger!

Karl closed his eyes, and the Zero-Circle Spell Azure Wave Protection and the Minor Force Field instantly expanded.

At the same time.

Phantom Amulet ━ Intangibility!

Whoosh!

Thousands of blue streamers suddenly appeared in the field, instantly covering an area of more than a hundred square meters. The two formal wizards were naturally the focus of the attack.

Karl, who was on the edge, was also affected.

Only affected.

The streamers were not affected by the force field and pierced through the water flow summoned by the Azure Wave Protection. Their speed slowed slightly, but they still pierced through Karl’s body.

Ugh!

Even though his body was intangible, Karl couldn’t help but groan, and his intangible state was forced out.

If it had hit him directly…

He would have died!

Even a Legendary Knight would have died!

“Karl!”

Marianne’s exclamation rang in his ears, and white light flashed before his eyes. Her figure also appeared in front of him.

“Are you okay?”

“Good!”

“That’s great!”

Marianne looked excited, her eyes full of worry. Seeing that Karl didn’t answer, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“I’m fine.”

Karl said, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Marianne’s concern for him seemed a bit excessive, and her eyes were strange. Could it be that she had fallen in love with him?

Tch!

One of the three major delusions of men was that women had fallen in love with them.

Besides, this wasn’t the time to think about whether someone liked him or not, but how to escape.

“Be careful!”

“Blink!”

Marianne grabbed Karl, slammed her staff on the ground, and the two of them instantly turned into a streak of light and flew more than ten meters away.

In Karl’s perception, the speed of the two of them was almost instantaneous, unbelievably fast.

“Boom!”

The place where they had just stood was hit by a spell, and the soil and dust flew up, creating a cloud of smoke.

“You go first!”

Marianne shook her arm and threw Karl out, while at the same time gently tapping him with her staff:

“Blessing of the Wind Spirit!”

Karl felt as if he was enveloped by an invisible force, and the cells all over his body became active. His body was so light that it felt as if he could fly with a light tap of his feet.

But this feeling was only for a moment.

“Return of All Spells!”

Accompanied by a low shout from the jungle not far away, the spell cast on him was instantly broken.

Not only did the First-Circle Spell Blessing of the Wind Spirit, the Minor Force Field, and Control Gravity fail, but even his mental power was suppressed to some extent.

A wizard!

Only a formal wizard could have such power.

On the other side.

“Roar!”

The gargoyle spread its wings, carrying the two younger members of the Capet Family, and rushed into the sky, trying to escape the battlefield.

“Hmph!”

“Trying to escape?”

A cold voice rang out in mid-air, and a pitch-black scythe appeared out of thin air, slashing at the gargoyle.

The scythe was extremely large, more than ten meters long, and silently cut off one of the gargoyle’s wings.

“Roar!”

The gargoyle roared in grief, its body crashing heavily from mid-air.

However, in the instant it was injured, it threw out the two people in its arms, sending them flying in different directions.

It had also helped them escape the battlefield.

At this time, with Marianne’s help, Karl was also far away from the core of the battlefield, running wildly into the depths of the forest.

“Damn it!”

“She wouldn’t really have fallen for me, would she?”

Karl muttered, but he didn’t dare to stop his feet for even a moment.

The destructive power of a formal wizard was too terrifying, and even if he had the body of a Legendary Knight, it wouldn’t be enough.

Escape!

Towards the market?

Or the opposite direction?

There might be an ambush in the direction of the market.

The opposite direction might lead to an assassin’s pursuit, and he would also face unknown dangers in the depths of the Magic Forest.

Karl’s mind raced, and he compromised by running towards the direction between the two.

He didn’t need to escape too far, he just needed to get away from the battlefield to hide in the Divine Domain Fragment to ensure his safety.

Moreover, this should be an assassination attempt targeting the Capet Family, and he was not on the list, so theoretically he shouldn’t be targeted too much.

…………

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh, whoosh!”

Milia’s face was pale, and her figure flickered back and forth as she flew forward.

As a top member of the younger generation of the Capet Family, she had life-saving items given to her by the family.

Blink Bracelet!

A high-level magic item that could increase movement and evasion abilities.

Coupled with her own abilities and the wizardry she cast, her current speed was comparable to that of a Legendary Knight.

Even faster!

“Milia.”

A familiar voice rang in her ears:

“Don’t run.”

“You can’t escape.”

?

Milia’s body stiffened, as if she had been immobilized by someone, and it took a long time before she slowly turned around.

“Stride!”

Looking at the tall, burly, and handsome man in front of her, Milia’s eyes were complex, with disbelief, sadness, and deep pain.

She knew the other party.

And she was very familiar with him, after all, he was her former fiancé.

“It’s me.”

Stride slowly drew the magic longsword from his waist, looking directly at Milia:

“You didn’t expect that I’m still alive, did you?”

“…” Milia opened her mouth:

“You were the one who hired the assassins, just for revenge?”

“Shouldn’t I?” Stride sneered:

“How many people from our family did your Capet Family kill back then? If I hadn’t been lucky, I would have died then too.”

“I should have taken revenge!”

Milia’s face turned pale.

…………

‘Still chasing?’

Karl frowned, glancing back. Although there was no one behind him, the wind was calm.

But his senses told him that someone was tracking him.

“Bang!”

The muscles in his thighs trembled, and his speed suddenly increased.

Combat Technique ━ Rapid March!

This combat technique was obtained from Quincy’s memories, a combat technique belonging to the Grand Knight level.

It could accelerate straight-line running.

Coupled with his Legendary Knight physique, his speed increased again, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was as fast as lightning.

Soon.

“What’s going on?”

Karl’s face was gloomy, and he looked back:

“Still chasing?”

“Whoosh!”

His body leaped high, and just as he was about to land, a warning suddenly rose in his heart. He stepped on the void and rushed forward.

Combat Technique ━ Step on Air!

“Boom!”

The spot where he was about to land exploded with a ball of fire.

After landing, Karl didn’t continue to run forward, but instead turned around abruptly and pounced towards the forest behind him.

Since he couldn’t escape, he might as well try his luck.

Since the other party hadn’t caught up with him for so long, they were definitely not a formal wizard. In that case, he didn’t need to be afraid.

He needed a monthly ticket!
