Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 161

Chapter 161

Chapter 161: Mantis, Cicada, and Oriole

“As expected, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even with only two remaining members, the Capet family still possesses a deep foundation.”

Back in his own shop, Karl wore a pensive expression:

“I already possess the combat power of a middle-stage First Order, yet I could still sense danger from Milia…”

“She definitely possesses a powerful inherited magic item!”

“Moreover…”

“There’s also a formal wizard hidden nearby!”

“No wonder the two of them dared to show up. I guess even if I had turned hostile then, they were confident they could control the situation.”

“And there’s also Holy Spear Bardo. Although he might not be in league with them, he definitely has some connection with them in secret, otherwise he wouldn’t have chosen to meet me there.”

“However…”

“None of this has anything to do with me!”

Placing the package on the table, Karl wore a smile, taking out several thick books from within.

Potion books!

The Capet family had ruled Leipzig Market for hundreds of years. Besides their own powerful foundation, they also had a knightly force that conquered all sides.

Led by legendary knights, with grand knights as captains, there were hundreds of knights, dominating the area around the market.

To train so many knights, potions were indispensable.

In reality, every major family would collect various potion recipes, weapons, and magic techniques.

This was the foundation of a family’s inheritance.

But now that the Capet family was gone, these things were not of much use to Milia and the other.

Of course, what was traded were only common potion recipes. Some special potions wouldn’t be given out so easily.

“Life Potion!”

Flipping open one of the books, Karl couldn’t help but feel a sense of lament:

“Once upon a time, I was troubled by the need to obtain a Life Potion, but now I can’t even bring myself to look at them.”

“Spirit Potion, Blood Potion, Holy Potion…”

“Hmm?”

“Concentrated Life Potion!”

His gaze stopped on one of the potion recipes. After carefully reading through it, a smile appeared on his face.

“This is suitable!”

Cultivating the Holy Demon Transformation required a large amount of life energy replenishment, and the Life Potion was undoubtedly the optimal choice.

But unfortunately, while Life Potions could help knight squires advance to knights, containing pure life energy, their effects were too weak for Karl.

To achieve the effect of tempering his body, according to his calculations, he would need to consume at least a dozen portions every day.

A dozen portions!

That would be hundreds of portions a month, and thousands a year, and that was a conservative estimate.

Not to mention that he couldn’t afford the magic stones required, just that quantity alone would attract the attention of others.

“One concentrated Life Potion contains ten times the life energy of a Life Potion, and the key is…”

“Most of the materials needed to refine this potion can be found in the Other World, mainly the source cores of Second-Order creatures.”

“Hmm…”

“The Andrew family’s beast market is responsible for handling the hunted exotic creatures, they should have the source cores of Second-Order creatures, right?”

Putting away the things in his hand, Karl left the shop again. When he returned, he was holding an ant nest.

Controlling beasts!

This magic technique could theoretically control exotic creatures of the same order as the practitioner, but Karl had just started learning it, so he could only control low-level creatures, and even controlling magic beasts was difficult.

But that was even better.

Ordinary beasts were everywhere and wouldn’t easily arouse the vigilance of wizards.

And there was another benefit: constructs were easily tampered with by the wizards who created them, but there was no such concern with ordinary beasts.

In the memories of that Blood Claw assassin, there was a technique to attach one’s mental power to ordinary creatures.

Karl followed suit, splitting off a few thoughts and placing them in the ant colony, looking for a chance to drop them near the beast market.

Next.

He just had to wait and watch the show.

…………

Half a month later.

“Crack!”

Traces of lightning flickered in the air. Karl’s figure swayed, and he reappeared more than ten meters away.

The speed was so fast, it was comparable to teleportation.

First-Circle Spell—Thunder Wings!

“Hoo…”

Karl exhaled lightly, a look of joy on his face:

“I finally mastered it!”

Thunder Wings was different from ordinary First-Circle spells. The spell model was more complex, and it involved more theoretical knowledge. It was like an advanced version of the Flight Spell.

Of course.

The speed after mastering it was also faster!

“Now I can finally fly without the magic carpet. My current speed should be comparable to a middle-stage First-Circle wizard using the Flight Spell. The key is that it’s elusive and hard to grasp, so I’ll have more chances to escape when facing a strong enemy.”

“It’s just that the Holy Demon Transformation is progressing slowly.”

Karl had miscalculated the Holy Demon Transformation’s consumption of life energy, or overestimated the amount of life energy in the Life Potion.

If he wanted to cultivate non-stop like before, he would need to consume at least twenty portions of Life Potion every day.

Twenty portions!

That was forty magic stones.

Just relying on the reward from the tower for managing the shop, his annual income wouldn’t last many days, it was simply not feasible.

“It should be soon!”

Looking back at the location of the Andrew family, Karl’s eyes flickered slightly.

A few days ago, a Second-Circle wizard from the Andrew family came to Leipzig Market to oversee the family.

This wasn’t a good sign!

It meant that just one Second-Circle wizard was having trouble controlling the situation.

But the Andrew family owned several markets and couldn’t focus all their energy here.

That Second-Circle wizard would leave sooner or later.

And then…

A change would likely occur.

As for the Nelson family, they had been very quiet recently, with all the family wizards staying indoors.

“Hmm?”

While pondering, Karl’s eyebrows twitched. He found a safe place to sit down and activated a magic technique.

Instantly.

An ant far away near the beast market raised its head. Everything its light-sensitive single eye and compound eyes saw was projected into Karl’s ‘vision’.

“Boom!”

Three large fireballs fell from the sky, exploding upon impact and instantly spreading flames across the beast market.

Rune—Chain Fireball!

Not just one rune, but a series of them. A dozen fireballs howled as they slammed into the beast market.

No way?

Karl’s mouth twitched slightly.

Even if it was the same type of rune, the details of runes refined by different people would vary. He immediately recognized that these were runes he had refined himself.

‘It seems I’ve used too many runes in the past year or two. Even those used to deal with the Andrew family are being used now.’

‘What if someone uses them against me later?’

“Buzz…”

A surge of blood energy erupted within the beast market, instantly extinguishing the flames.

It was like a blood-colored cover, surrounding the beast market.

A barrier!

It was only natural that a barrier was set up in the beast market, since it was one of the more important assets of the Andrew family.

But the fact that it reacted so slowly, failing to activate before the first wave of attacks, was a serious dereliction of duty.

However, Karl quickly realized what was going on.

The blood-colored barrier had just activated when it rapidly trembled and then shattered. A roar also came from inside the beast market.

“Turs!”

“You actually betrayed the Andrew family!”

Vincent’s roar was deafening, and at the same time, a violent surge of wizard’s magic erupted from within the beast market.

An inside agent!

Milia and the others were indeed prepared.

“Boom…”

Blinding magic erupted, and Karl instantly lost his vision. Clearly, the ants near the beast market had been affected and died.

But it didn’t matter.

He had placed many spies nearby. Now, with a change in his magic technique, another view of the beast market reappeared.

This time, it was a few masked wizard apprentices rushing into the beast market, engaging in a fierce battle with the guards.

“How dare you!”

Accompanied by the ground cracking and dirt flying, Vincent, with a strange pair of gloves on his hands, rushed out.

“Die!”

First-Circle Spell—Energy Torrent!

Visible air currents shot out from his hands, like a tidal wave sweeping in all directions.

A middle-stage First-Circle wizard, even if they were injured and weak, could easily crush wizard apprentices.

Just then.

An invisible force field appeared before the Energy Torrent.

Force Field Wall!

“Swish!”

Milia, with a phantom-like figure, appeared in the field, holding a blue rapier, and stabbed at Vincent.

With a light flick of the rapier, countless tiny blue dots appeared in the air. Although it was unclear what they were, Vincent was clearly very wary and quickly retreated, while shaking his hand and summoning a rune.

***

“Boom!”

Before he could see what had happened, Karl lost his vision again.

“It wasn’t a test. Milia actually showed up.”

He had originally thought that this attack was a test, but now it clearly wasn’t.

But the Andrew family’s Second-Circle wizard was still around. How did she dare to act?

Unless…

Milia knew very well that the Second-Circle wizard had no time to deal with her!

Karl’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly looked towards the Andrew family’s location and saw a bolt of lightning fall from the sky, striking the Andrew family’s residence directly.

“Boom!”

The entire market trembled.

Second-Circle Spell—Heavenly Thunder!

“A Second-Circle wizard!”

Karl’s expression turned serious:

“The Nelson family’s wizard specializes in Shadow Magic. Even if they advanced, they wouldn’t have a lightning-based Second-Circle spell, so there’s another Second-Circle wizard…”

“Looks like things are getting serious!”

He tried to change his magic technique again, but failed repeatedly. It seemed that the ants he had placed near the beast market had all died.

When he reconnected, it was already far from the beast market.

Coincidentally.

The figures of Vincent and the others were still in his field of vision.

This time, besides Milia, two more formal wizards had appeared, and the three of them were working together to surround and kill Vincent.

And the group had already moved far away from the beast market.

An opportunity!

Karl’s heart skipped a beat. He transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed towards the beast market.

In mid-air, he rubbed his face. Then, his skin squirmed and his bones grew, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a burly man with rough features.

He stretched out his hand, and a giant hammer, even larger than his body, appeared in his palm.

Gravity Warhammer!

Soon.

Karl’s figure appeared at the beast market. With a push of his large hand, the wooden door separating the inner and outer courtyards flew away.

“Roar!”

Before he could step into the inner courtyard, the ground in front of him rolled, and a legendary creature resembling a crocodile charged at him.

The giant crocodile was massive, with a mouth full of sharp teeth. When it saw Karl, it opened its mouth and pounced fiercely.

The scales on its body were thick and dense, and the surface was shimmering with a faint magical light, indicating that it had a strong resistance to magic.

“Heh…”

Seeing this, Karl chuckled lightly. He held the giant hammer and smashed it head-on. The heavy hammer danced a blur in his hands.

“Bang!”

The terrifying force directly slammed the giant crocodile’s head into the ground, and the scales on its head flew in all directions.

Blood gushed from its head, flowing along the cracks.

“A First-Order creature!”

Karl stepped forward with the giant hammer in hand, his gaze sweeping around:

“With the Andrew family’s means, it’s not difficult for them to control some legendary creatures to guard their home, especially since this is a beast market, where there are all kinds of exotic creatures.”

“So…”

“Where are the corpses of the Second-Order creatures?”

At this time, Karl had the physique of a middle-stage First Order, and with the Holy Demon Transformation cultivated to the second level, he was equivalent to a top-tier legendary creature.

Combined with his various techniques, he charged straight through, leaving a trail of exotic beast corpses in the inner courtyard of the beast market.

“Bang!”

A house was smashed open by him casually. Karl smiled as he looked at several figures huddled inside:

“Gentlemen, I have a few questions. I’m a kind person, so as long as you answer honestly, not only will nothing happen to you, but you’ll also get a reward.”

“Or do you want to fall into the hands of others?”

The people in the Magic Forest never lacked a spirit of adventure. In fact, a character like Karl, who was so patient, was in the minority. After a short period of chaos, many people had already rushed into the beast market to take advantage of the situation.

These people’s methods were far more brutal than Karl’s.

*

Krah, wearing a Second-Order Life Robe and holding a Dark Moon Staff, stood in the void, frowning as he looked around, his face gloomy.

Here, he couldn’t sense the Astral Plane, and even the elemental fluctuations in the air were extremely inert.

This would cause the power of his magic to be greatly reduced.

“A dimensional barrier?”

“Not bad!”

The void in front of him rippled, and several figures appeared one after another.

The person in the center had white hair and a face full of wrinkles. He held a strange cane and looked at Krah.

“Old friend, we meet again!”

“It’s you!” Krah’s eyes flickered slightly:

“Magician Gitte, you’re not dead yet?”

“The Andrew family is still here, so how could I bear to die?” Gitte grinned, a sinister smile on his face:

“Krah, you don’t need to stall for time. We’ve investigated everything clearly. The other two Second-Circle wizards of the Andrew family aren’t nearby.”

“As for the Six Rings Tower…”

He shook his head lightly:

“The reason why the tower can remain aloof is because they never participate in the competition between forces.”

“It seems you’ve made enough preparations.” Krah’s eyes twitched as he looked at a person beside him:

“Dunn, are you sure you want to become enemies with our Andrew family?”

“I don’t want to either.” Compared to the two, Dunn looked much younger. He sighed softly:

“But Leipzig Market can’t accommodate the Nelson family. Since that’s the case, I have no choice but to act first.”

Dunn!

The newly advanced Second-Circle wizard of the Nelson family.

Today’s setup was a joint effort between him and Magician Gitte, aiming to take the opportunity to kill Krah.

As long as Krah was killed, the Andrew family would lose a major Second-Circle wizard, and they wouldn’t dare to act rashly.

“Haha…”

Gitte laughed:

“Krah, you didn’t expect it, did you? To fight against your family, Dunn took the initiative to contact us.”

“The Nelson family’s dimensional bracelet can even create a dimensional barrier that can isolate everything for a short time.”

“I know you’re powerful, but here…”

He looked around:

“We have two Second-Circle wizards and four late-stage First-Circle wizards. You have no chance of winning!”

“Cough cough!” Dunn coughed lightly:

“Gitte.”

“The dimensional barrier can only last for a short time, so… shouldn’t we act now?”

As he spoke, he glanced at Krah of the Andrew family.

“Of course.”

Gitte nodded:

“I was just a little too excited. After all, I’ve waited over two hundred years for today!”

“Enough.” Krah’s voice deepened:

“Let’s do it!”

“Alright!”

Dunn nodded. He seemed a little impatient. He rubbed his hands together, and countless shadows scattered in all directions.

Second-Circle Spell—Shadow Assassination!

This magic technique was best at ambushes and assassinations, but the target he chose was unexpected by his companions.

It wasn’t Krah,

but them!

“Puff!”

“Puff puff!”

In an instant, two late-stage First-Circle wizards fell to the ground. Although the remaining few managed to cast spells to avoid the attack, their expressions changed drastically.

Gitte roared in anger:

“Dunn!”

He looked at Dunn in disbelief, his eyes filled with anger, which quickly turned into fear and despair.

How could this be?

“Gitte.” Krah, on the other hand, looked calm, shaking his head and saying:

“Where do you think the Nelson family’s dimensional bracelet came from? Do you think Dunn could have advanced to the Second Circle without the Andrew family’s consent?”

“That’s right.”

Dunn, while controlling the shadows to hunt down the First-Circle wizards in the field, said:

“Even the fact that the Swirling Spirit Butterfly could be refined into a potion was thanks to Mr. Krah.”

“The Andrew family wanted to get rid of you a long time ago. They used my hand to lure you here so we could deal with you all together.”

“Sorry!”

He was very sincere:

“I really couldn’t refuse Mr. Krah’s proposal.”

“Indeed!” Krah used a Second-Circle spell to attack the enraged Gitte, his voice leisurely:

“Cultivating a family with a Second-Circle wizard, and resolving the Andrew family’s accumulated enemies over the years…”

“No matter how you look at it, this deal is very worthwhile!”
