Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Dream Market

“Krah used the Nelson family as bait, and the hatred of others for their own families as bait, luring out all the enemies of the Andrew family, and then setting an ambush to eliminate them in one fell swoop.”

“A good move!”

A few days later.

The situation gradually became clear.

After learning about the changes, Karl couldn’t help but applaud and sigh at Milia’s bad luck.

“Krah is indeed the most outstanding wizard of the Andrew family in the past thousand years. No one would have thought that he would help the Nelson family’s wizard become a second-circle, cultivating a hostile force for his own family.”

“No!”

“The Andrew and Nelson families must have signed a contract in private, forming an alliance with each other.”

“In this way…”

“The Andrew family has an additional second-circle force as an ally, and can also solve the troubles that have plagued the family for hundreds of years in one fell swoop.”

“Amazing!”

In fact, the plan proceeded as Krah predicted. At least twenty formal wizards who had grudges with the Andrew family were killed, and even a second-circle wizard was killed.

If Karl hadn’t intervened.

Milia and Stride would have also been unable to escape their doom.

After the brief chaos, the market outside the shop regained its tranquility, and the pedestrians’ faces were less uneasy.

“The infighting between forces may create opportunities for people to suddenly become rich, but it also creates chaos, which does not meet the needs of the general public.”

Karl stroked his chin thoughtfully:

“For the people of Leipzig Market, it doesn’t matter who is the manager, the key is that there can’t be chaos.”

“Now that the situation is clear and the situation is stable, there is naturally no more unease in their hearts.”

“That’s good too!”

Nodding, he turned around to go to the backyard, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and he looked up at the sky.

Flying is prohibited in the airspace above the market, but a few people have special privileges.

Daniel, representing the Six Rings Tower, was one of them.

“Karl!”

Daniel, wearing a white robe, landed in front of the shop, called out to Karl, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said:

“After discussion, the Tower has decided to remove you from your position as shop manager, effective today. Wizard June will take over.”

“Huh?” Karl was stunned:

“Wizard June still has the mine to manage, does she have time?”

“Squeeze it, it’s always possible.” Daniel sighed:

“From now on, you should be careful.”

Karl frowned. There seemed to be other meanings in the other party’s words, and coupled with the sudden removal of his position…

“Gould requested it?”

“…” Daniel looked embarrassed and nodded:

“A few days ago, information was sent from the Kalim Continent as usual, but this time they asked about Lance’s situation.”

“So…”

“You should be thankful that this is the Magic Forest. If it were in Kalim, you might not be alive now.”

Karl’s face darkened:

“Then what am I supposed to do from now on?”

“Actually…” Daniel said in a low voice:

“Gould suggested that you be expelled from the Six Rings Tower, but Wizard Vulcan vetoed it because he couldn’t stand it.”

“However, the Tower will not assign you any more tasks, and the wizards’ lectures will also be suspended for you. Everything… will depend on yourself.”

?

What’s the difference between this and being expelled from the Six Rings Tower?

“How could this happen?” Karl couldn’t help but angrily say:

“Lance’s death has nothing to do with me!”

“Yes, I believe that too.” Daniel nodded:

“But his identity is not ordinary after all, and Gould needs someone to share the family’s anger.”

“Then…” Karl made a final struggle:

“Can I still go to the Kalim Continent?”

“Are you sure you want to go?” Daniel’s eyes were complicated:

“Going there might not be a good choice for you.”

Karl was silent.

Indeed.

The Green family’s influence here is limited. If he went to the Kalim Continent, it would be difficult to guarantee his own safety.

“Wizard Daniel!” Taking a deep breath, Karl said in a muffled voice:

“No matter where Lance went, he would cause trouble with his personality. I just did what I was supposed to do. Does the Tower have to protect him?”

“Karl.” Daniel frowned:

“You have to understand that we all have to go back. The Green family’s position in the Tower is very special, and no one wants to offend them.”

“Hmm…”

Seeming to feel really sorry, he slowly said:

“If you have any needs now, I will try my best to satisfy them.”

“Needs?” Karl smiled bitterly:

“No position, no lectures, and no way to go to the Kalim Continent, am I even considered a disciple of the Six Rings Tower?”

“Like this!”

He gritted his teeth and said:

“I hope to learn the complete method of making a wizard tower. I can pay the corresponding magic stones for this.”

A wizard tower?

Daniel’s eyes flickered slightly.

Given Karl’s current situation, he definitely can’t go to the Kalim Continent. If he stays here, building a wizard tower is only natural.

“Okay.”

Nodding, Daniel said:

“I have three methods for building a wizard tower. If you want them… three hundred magic stones.”

“But you need to sign a contract. You can build your own wizard tower, but you can’t teach the method to others.”

Three hundred magic stones!

Karl’s eyes lit up.

This was almost like getting something for free, and as for not being able to spread it, it was a common rule of the Tower.

“Okay!”

He nodded heavily:

“Also, I need some time to pack my things. Is it okay if I leave the shop in a couple of days?”

“That’s fine.” Daniel smiled:

“Today is just to remove you from your position, not to drive you away. The Tower is not that cold-hearted.”

“Heh…” Karl returned a dry smile.

“Don’t be too sad.” Daniel comforted in a low voice:

“These punishments are temporary. Gould will go back in a few years, and then everything will be fine.”

“After a few decades, Lance’s death will be forgotten, and you can go to the Kalim Continent again.”

“…” Karl sighed softly:

“I hope so!”

While packing his things, a message from Omar came on the magic paper. She also knew about Karl’s situation.

She said that if he had nowhere to go, he could stay with her for a while.

Stay with her?

Karl shook his head lightly.

Omar was one of his few friends. If he really stayed with her, it might provoke Gould. There was no need to implicate her.

…………

The next day.

Karl went to visit Enid.

“Sit.”

Enid looked relaxed, holding a spoon and preparing milk tea, gesturing for Karl to find a seat himself:

“Thank you for helping to take care of Zoe during this time.”

With the birth of a second-circle wizard in the family, and the alliance with the Andrew family, the unease and tension that she once had had disappeared, replaced by leisure and ease.

Even the skin on her face seemed to glow.

“It’s my duty.” Karl sighed:

“You should have heard about my situation, right?”

“Yes.”

Enid nodded:

“I didn’t expect the Six Rings Tower to be so… power-hungry. Speaking of which, it was Zoe who caused you to get into trouble.”

“What’s done is done. How it happened doesn’t matter anymore.” Karl took the milk tea that she handed him and said:

“I want to know, can the Nelson family take in a poor, homeless person like me?”

“You’re joking.” Enid chuckled:

“You are a formal wizard after all. Any force would welcome you.”

“Oh, right.”

“This time, we joined forces with the Andrew family to kill many wizards and obtained a lot of spoils of war. Are you interested?”

Karl tapped the table and shook his head lightly.

She was being very polite, but in reality, she was changing the subject. It seemed that this ‘friend’ was unreliable.

That’s right!

The Nelson family was close to the Tower. The family head might be friends with Gould, so there was no need to offend him for his sake.

“Wizard Karl.”

Enid said in a low voice:

“If you want, I can give you a discount on some things, guaranteeing the lowest price.”

This seemed to be the limit of what she could do.

***

“Forget it!”

Karl stood up:

“I’ll go wander somewhere else.”

“Wait!” Enid bit her lip and said:

“Karl, the Nelson family does not intend to take you in, but I can help you find a safe place.”

“Hmm…”

“I have a residence in the market. There are patrols there every day, and no one dares to cause trouble there.”

“Karl, my friend.”

She looked bitter:

“I hope you can understand. I really have no choice.”

“It’s okay.” Karl’s tone softened:

“Having a place to live is enough for me.”

*

*

Although Karl still had the title of a Six Rings Tower disciple, it was almost the same as losing his identity.

But if things were pushed to this point, even Gould wouldn’t be able to justify it if he tried to completely eliminate him.

The Magic Forest was not the Kalim Continent after all.

The Green family did not have that much power here.

Hiding in the residence that Enid introduced, Karl directly closed his doors to visitors, taking the opportunity to calm down and cultivate.

The materials needed for the concentrated life potion had not been gathered yet, so he decided to put building a wizard tower on the agenda.

Having a wizard tower of his own was the dream of every formal wizard, and he was no exception.

Wizard towers are divided into natural wizard towers, shadow wizard towers, etc., depending on the school of the owner…

Of course.

Some people also call them bloodline research bases or nightmare gardens.

Depending on the location, they are also divided into floating wizard towers, underground wizard towers, and the most common wizard towers built on mountain peaks.

Among the three methods for building a wizard tower that Daniel gave him, one was a floating wizard tower.

The other two were more common wizard towers.

“Inside a wizard tower, with the help of the Astral Plane and the energy of magic stones, the power of a wizard’s spells will be greatly increased, and the mental power consumed will be reduced. A first-circle wizard can even cast second-circle spells.”

“This is equivalent to learning second-circle spells in advance. It will naturally be easier to break through the realm. Not to mention other benefits, this alone is enough to make it hard to refuse.”

Flipping through the records about wizard towers in the books, Karl’s eyes flickered, and many thoughts arose:

“To build a wizard tower, the Eye of Insight and the Starlight Disk are indispensable.”

“The Eye of Insight can observe everything near the wizard tower, while the Starlight Disk can connect to the Astral Plane.”

“The Starlight Disk here is similar to the star disk used for magic traps, but it is more complex and expensive. The cheapest Starlight Disk costs several thousand magic stones, and the better ones cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of magic stones.”

“No wonder!”

“No wonder wizard towers are mostly built by a family. It’s almost impossible for one person to succeed.”

Thinking for a moment, he summoned his status panel.

Name: Karl

Constitution: 12

Mental Power: 7.1

Source Essence: 0

Level: Legendary Knight, First-Circle Wizard

Abyssal Bloodline Fusion Rate: 37%

“The numerical changes are not great. I’m at the bottom of the intermediate stage of the first circle, but that doesn’t represent my true combat power.”

“The Sacred Breath allows the battle aura to evolve, and the second level of the Holy Demon Transformation has also been completed. With the methods of a wizard, even facing Gould, there might not be no chance.”

“Hmm…”

“It’s time to go out and wander around.”

…………

Karl couldn’t hide in Leipzig Market forever. For him, the identity of a Six Rings Tower disciple was also dispensable.

The main thing was to have a fixed place to cultivate and a sustainable source of income.

At the very least,

he also needed to choose a suitable location for building a wizard tower, even if he intended to build a floating tower.

“You think that by driving me out of the Six Rings Tower, you can do whatever you want with me? You’re thinking too simply.”

“The current me is not an outsider who knows nothing about the Magic Forest. Even the locals are probably not as familiar with the surrounding environment as I am.”

After packing his things, Karl flashed to the outskirts of the market.

Most of the local natives he killed would be destroyed, and even their souls would be taken to the Divine Domain Fragment.

Through the memories of others, he learned many secrets.

For example,

The Dream Market.

This was a market located a few hundred kilometers away from Leipzig Market, hidden in an unstable demi-plane.

“Whoosh!”

Karl’s figure appeared near a valley.

The valley was filled with a thick fog. Two wizard apprentices stood at the entrance of the valley and greeted him when they saw him.

“Respected wizard, entering the Dream Market requires one magic stone. Also, please do not let your emotions fluctuate too much, or you will easily be expelled.”

“Okay.”

Karl threw a magic stone over, stepped into the valley, and gradually disappeared as his figure blurred.

“Like a dream, yet not a dream!”

When his eyes lit up, Karl was already on a dilapidated street. Everything in sight was very blurry.

Like a dream.

If you didn’t look closely, everything was normal, but if you looked closely, you would find that the details were distorted from reality.

But his body had indeed entered this place.

“No wonder it’s called the Dream Market. I wonder what the principle behind this demi-plane is. However, it suppresses the mental power of second-circle wizards. If first-circle wizards forcibly cast spells, they will also be expelled by the power of the laws. Safety can be guaranteed.”

Turning his gaze, he found the person in charge here and spent five magic stones to rent a long-term storefront.

He casually wrote a sign and hung it up, then walked towards the interior of the market.

The Marvelous Shop of the Eyeless One.

“Knock knock!”

A knock on the door sounded.

“Come in!”

A hoarse voice came from the room.

Karl pushed the door open, and a sour, musty smell assaulted him, making him subconsciously frown and take a step back.

“Do dreams have a smell?”

“This is not a real dream.” An elderly wizard with empty eye sockets sat in the middle of the room.

His hands were holding a skull with ghostly flames flickering in its eyes, and he tilted his head to ‘look’ at Karl up and down.

A strange smile then appeared on his face.

“It’s actually the esteemed Wizard Karl. This is the first time I’ve seen a disciple of the Six Rings Tower here.”

He clearly had no eyes, yet he could ‘see’ the visitor, even though Karl had disguised himself to a certain extent.

The Eyeless Old Brin,

a wizard with a special sensory ability.

“Humph!” Karl snorted:

“This kind of market is not formal after all. The people managing the market are just a few first-circle late-stage wizards with good relationships. The safety is not as good as Leipzig Market, so of course the disciples of the Six Rings Tower wouldn’t come here.”

“Heh…” Old Brin grinned:

“That’s not necessarily true.”

“The Dream Market has only had a few disturbances in the two hundred years since it opened. Leipzig Market has been chaotic several times in recent years.”

“That’s true.” Karl nodded:

“Since you know me, you should have heard about my situation. I am no longer considered a disciple of the Six Rings Tower.”

“I heard that you have good connections. Do you know where I can buy materials for building a wizard tower?”

“A Starlight Disk?” The elderly wizard thought for a moment and said:

“I’ll help you inquire. I’ll notify you when I have news.”

“Okay.”

Karl nodded, told the other party the location of the storefront he had rented, and then left without lingering.

Just as he returned to the storefront and was about to clean up, someone came to visit.

“Excuse me, what price do you offer for buying floating stones?”

The visitor’s voice was cautious. Her left hand subconsciously blocked the cloth bag tied around her waist, and her right hand gripped her staff tightly.

Although she wore a veil with added wizardry and deliberately wore loose clothing, she couldn’t hide her female identity.

There were three other people beside her. The four of them were probably a common small group in the Magic Forest.

There were wizard apprentices and grand knights.

Karl’s gaze casually swept over the four of them and said:

“One hundred magic stones for one.”

“One hundred?” The other party hesitated, exchanged glances with her friends, and asked in a low voice:

“Can it be a little more expensive?”

“Heh…” Karl chuckled:

“You should bring the floating stones over first. As long as you have floating stones, the price is negotiable.”
