Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 110

Chapter 110: Cooperation of the Gods

The night was pitch black.

A wooden boat cut through the darkness, heading towards the depths of the Black Swamp.

A lantern hung at the front of the wooden boat, its faint light illuminating the surroundings and guiding the way forward.

Karl manipulated Mage Hand, a minor spell, to propel the boat forward.

Behind him.

‘Angel Remiel’ stood with her hands clasped behind her back, her eyes flickering with a white halo as she gazed into the distance.

An angel!

A real angel!

This is an existence that only appears in stories.

Karl never imagined that one day he would be in the same boat with a real angel.

The pure aura surging from her body was vast and endless, as if it had the power to soothe everything.

Second Order?

Third Order?

One thing was certain, it was an existence far surpassing First Order!

“Respected Angel.”

After the initial shock and confusion, Karl’s mood calmed down a little, and he tentatively asked,

“What business do you have with the Grey-Robed Wizard?”

“Mortal.” Remiel’s expression remained unchanged,

“That’s not a question you should be asking.”

Hmm?

This angel…

Seems a bit arrogant.

He could tell that she was not angry, but she seemed unaccustomed to communicating with others.

So she used indifference and rejection as a substitute.

“Will Catherine be alright?” Karl asked again,

“From what I know, gods and angels reside in the Divine Realm. Using a believer’s body to descend consumes their life force.”

“Eh?” Remiel looked surprised and turned to him,

“You seem to know quite a lot.”

“Hmph!”

She snorted softly,

“Arrogant unbeliever, how dare you pry into the realm of God! After death, you will be nailed to the Wall of Unbelievers and suffer endless torment.”

“Respected Angel.” Karl sighed,

“I am a wizard apprentice, pursuing knowledge and truth, and am not bound by the gods.”

“Hmm…”

“There seems to be some kind of agreement between wizards and gods in ancient times, where both parties do not interfere with each other. My soul shouldn’t be able to go to the Wall of Unbelievers.”

Remiel did not answer.

She didn’t know about this. In her mind, gods were omnipotent beings.

Made an agreement with wizards?

That’s true.

Could it be,

Gods also make concessions?

Just like the task given this time?

A trace of trance flashed in her eyes, which was immediately replaced by a white halo, reaffirming her faith.

‘Everything is the Lord’s test.’

“As long as I don’t do anything, your friend will be fine.” After thinking for a moment, Remiel said coldly,

“Maybe she hopes that I will do something so that she can enter the Divine Realm sooner to serve the Lord.”

“So…” Karl nodded slowly,

“That’s why you asked me to take you to see the Grey-Robed Wizard, because Catherine’s body is difficult to support you in doing more.”

“Is the reason why Catherine’s body can allow you to descend because she is a fanatic of the Morning Sun?”

“If one’s faith is not devout enough, an angel cannot descend?”

“Mortal!” Remiel’s face turned cold,

“Are you testing my patience?”

“Matters related to the gods are not something a mortal should understand, not even speculation!”

After a pause, she added,

“Not even wizards!”

“…Alright.” Seeing her tone becoming more and more serious, Karl could only sigh helplessly,

“I won’t ask anymore.”

Ripples spread across the swamp, and an invisible force propelled the boat towards the thick fog.

Not long after.

Two figures appeared ahead.

“Halt!”

The two figures stretched out their hands to block their path,

“This is the residence of the Grey-Robed Wizard. No outsiders are allowed to approach.”

Grand Knights!

The aura emanating from the two figures ahead was immense, their Life Force like giant candles. They were undoubtedly two Grand Knights.

It was estimated that only a Second-Circle Wizard would be qualified to have Grand Knights as guards.

“You two.”

Karl straightened up and gestured behind him,

“This…”

“Let them in.” Before Karl could explain, a strange voice came from the island ahead,

“Master is waiting for them.”

“Yes.”

The two Grand Knights responded and stepped aside.

Karl tied the boat to a stone stake on the shore and stepped onto the island belonging to Grey-Robed Wizard Addison with Remiel.

Not far ahead.

Their vision suddenly brightened.

Countless creatures resembling fireflies were flying all over the sky, and a dignified woman in a wizard robe was waiting.

Formal Wizard Marianne.

The only disciple of Grey-Robed Wizard Addison.

Karl had never had contact with this wizard, but he had seen her portrait at the Alliance Headquarters.

“Angel…”

Marianne should also be seeing an angel for the first time. With a somewhat complex look in her eyes, she gestured towards Remiel and said,

“Please follow me.”

Grey-Robed Wizard Addison sat cross-legged at the base of a large tree, his body seemingly even thinner than it was a few years ago.

“Angel.”

Looking at Remiel, a green light flashed in Addison’s eyes,

“The last time an angel descended, I remember it was over sixty years ago. At that time, I was just a bystander.”

“Respected Angel, how should I address you?”

Even a Second-Circle Wizard had to marvel at the vast energy emanating from an angel, which might have already surpassed Second Order.

This angel in front of him was no ordinary angel.

“Remiel.” Remiel held her head high, her voice clear,

“You are Grey-Robed Wizard Addison?”

“The decaying aura on your body is disgusting. If possible, I really don’t want to come down to see you.”

“Heh…” Addison chuckled, the wrinkles on his face, which resembled tree bark, twitching. He asked,

“Then, what is the reason that you had to come down?”

“This is a God-forsaken place, with a barrier that weakens divine power. Of course, you will be very uncomfortable.”

“Hmph!” Remiel snorted,

“Sariel wants you to help deal with the army of Colon.”

“Sariel?” Addison narrowed his eyes. Of course, he had heard of this name written in the scriptures.

Archangel Sariel!

The strongest angel and guardian under the Morning Sun.

“According to the agreement between wizards and gods, neither party can interfere in wars between mortals.”

“So…”

“I refuse!”

Karl pondered.

He also knew about the situation on the front lines. It was said that the allied forces of the three kingdoms of Gando, Sark, and Zachsik had suffered a major defeat on the battlefield.

The army of Colon continued to advance.

It seemed that the situation was worse than he knew. Even angels from the Divine Realm had to descend to the mortal world to seek help.

It was likely,

A very urgent situation.

It was highly possible that without strong reinforcements, some kingdoms would perish. Otherwise, angels wouldn’t come knocking.

But were the beliefs of ordinary people that important to the gods?

“According to the agreement in ancient times, gods and supernatural beings cannot interfere in wars between mortals.”

Remiel said,

“But you are still mortals. At least…”

She pointed a finger at Karl,

“He is!”

“You mean…” Addison thought for a moment and said slowly,

“Formal Wizards cannot intervene, but wizard apprentices can. This does not violate the original agreement.”

In fact, there were already wizard apprentices on the battlefield.

“That’s right!” Remiel raised her head,

“The Fire Thieves of Colon are wizard apprentices. If they can intervene, naturally you can too.”

“As citizens of the kingdom, you also have an obligation to help when the kingdom is in danger.”

“Heh…” Addison chuckled,

“Respected Angel, Your Highness Remiel.”

“We could have avoided this war. I believe the people of Colon wouldn’t actively provoke wizards. Why should we get involved? Don’t use so-called loyalty as an excuse. Wizards are only loyal to the truth.”

“Truth?” Remiel sneered,

“Sariel said that all you see is profit, a group of evil people who don’t understand loyalty and faith.”

“So…”

“As long as you are given enough benefits, you will intervene.”

“That…” Addison shook his head slightly but didn’t refute,

“It’s not unreasonable. But what are your chips, and what is the price?”

“Star Gate!” Remiel finally revealed the key point of this trip,

“Haven’t you always wanted to build a Star Gate to go to the true Wizard World? The Divine Realm can give you a Star Gate.”

?

As soon as these words were spoken.

Not only did Addison’s eyes light up, but even Karl, who had been listening quietly behind him, couldn’t help but raise his head.

Star Gate!

One of the goals of establishing the Swamp Alliance was to build a Star Gate by pooling the strength of many wizards.

But the Star Gate belonged to the Third Order realm.

Even with Second-Circle Wizard Addison leading the way and uniting many wizards, it was still unknown whether it could be built.

Even if it could be built.

It was unknown how many years it would take.

Now.

There was an excellent opportunity to quickly obtain a Star Gate. How could any wizard not be tempted?

“However, this Star Gate is only a one-way passage. You can leave, but you cannot come back.”

Remiel continued,

“In return, you need to help Gando repel the invasion of the people of Colon.”

One-way passage?

Karl understood the Morning Sun’s thoughts. After all, wizards were also an unstable factor for the gods.

It didn’t really matter.

If there was a choice, no wizard or wizard apprentice would be willing to stay here. The dazzling brilliance of the gods obscured the Astral Plane, almost cutting off supernatural power.

The scarcity and poverty of resources made too many talented wizard apprentices lose the potential to go further.

“Repel?”

Addison shook his head gently,

“Remiel, you may not be aware of the strength of Colon, but I am very clear about the situation on the front lines.”

“Without the intervention of gods and Formal Wizards, it is too difficult to completely defeat Colon.”

“Even if the Swamp Alliance is willing to intervene, we may not be able to achieve this goal. After all, Colon also has wizards.”

“What?” Remiel frowned, her voice carrying a hint of anger,

“You are not willing to intervene?”

“No!” Addison sighed, seemingly helpless at her straightforwardness. He could only say directly,

“If you can set a goal, or some data, I can consider joining.”

“Such as?” Remiel raised an eyebrow.

“For example, killing the vanguard general of Colon, besieging and killing several counts and dukes.” Addison said,

“Before we act, I hope we can sign a contract in the name of the ancient gods and wizards. This will be a guarantee for both of us.”

“…” Remiel obviously lacked the experience of bargaining with people and didn’t understand the so-called target value.

After a moment of contemplation, she waved her hand and threw out a parchment scroll.

“I cannot make the decision. For the convenience of future contact, you can write your thoughts on this. Sariel will be able to see it.”

“Hmm…” Addison took the parchment scroll and nodded,

“Alright!”

“Grey-Robed Wizard.” Remiel looked directly at Addison, her eyes full of disgust,

“Your heart is full of evil, your eyes only see profit. I don’t like today’s conversation very much.”

“So…”

She extended a finger and tapped lightly,

“You will be punished!”

Swish!

A white light flashed through the void and pierced Addison’s chest. His body trembled, and his spirit instantly withered.

At the same time.

‘Catherine’s’ body went limp and collapsed to the ground.

Her jet-black hair instantly turned snow-white, and wrinkles appeared on her smooth and firm skin.

***

Karl hurriedly stepped forward and frowned after checking.

Life force!

Catherine had lost more than half of her life force. If she had fifty years of life left before.

Now.

She had at most ten years left to live!

And Angel Remiel, who was attached to her, had disappeared. She should have returned to the Divine Realm.

“Master!”

Marianne also came to the Grey-Robed Wizard, her voice filled with concern,

“Are you alright?”

“It’s fine.” Addison waved his hand with some effort,

“It’s a Second Order divine technique, Life Plunder. It just means I’ll live a few decades less. I won’t die yet.”

“Phew…”

He took a deep breath and looked at Karl,

“Young man, I remember you, the disciple of Alchemist Adolf. We meet again.”

“Yes.” Karl nodded,

“I met you three years ago, Senior. I didn’t expect you to still remember me.”

“Heh heh…” Addison chuckled,

“Since embarking on the path of wizardry, the only thing I’m proud of is my memory. Don’t tell anyone about what happened today.”

“Yes.” Karl bowed his head,

“I understand.”

If the Swamp Alliance were to join the war between Colon and other kingdoms, it would be a major event with far-reaching consequences.

No matter how the subsequent negotiations went, it had to be kept secret.

*

Catherine woke up, it was already early morning the next day.

She didn’t show much sadness about the changes in her body, but instead quickly accepted it calmly.

“To be able to use my body to proclaim God’s will, this is an unparalleled honor for a believer.”

Catherine knelt on both knees, looked up at the sky, her eyes were red, and she was too excited to speak.

“As for dying…”

“Who wouldn’t want to go to the Kingdom of God a day earlier?”

Karl was speechless.

Indeed.

To be a vessel for an angel’s descent, her faith had been tested, and her soul would most likely go to the Kingdom of God after death.

Death,

might not be a bad thing for Catherine.

“Hmm…”

Touching his chin, Karl thought thoughtfully:

“Will the Grey-Robed Wizard agree to the Morning Sun’s conditions and let the Swamp Alliance participate in the war?”

His guess was that it was very likely!

The conditions offered by the Morning Sun were too tempting, and it would be hard to refuse.

A Star Gate!

Without the Morning Sun’s help, it was still unknown whether the Swamp Alliance could build a Star Gate.

But as long as they agreed, they could get a ready-made Star Gate.

Not to mention that the formal wizards wouldn’t get involved, so there wouldn’t be any danger, and even if there was danger, they would fight desperately.

‘Next, they should discuss the conditions and details, but ultimately they will reach an agreement, and the people of the alliance will join the war.’

‘So…’

‘The prices of various potions and magic items will increase!’

Karl’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bid farewell and left.

…………

Alliance Headquarters.

Turn left at the second house on the seventh Tung tree.

Karl found Orseia and said directly:

“When will the next auction start? I want to sell that ring as soon as possible.”

“There will be an auction the day after tomorrow.” Orseia looked surprised:

“I’ve been working on it for a long time, and the hype has already started. Almost everyone knows that a damaged inherited magic artifact is about to be sold, but it hasn’t reached its peak yet. Are you sure you want to sell it now?”

Selling it now might result in a huge loss of magic stones.

“Yes!” Karl nodded emphatically, and handed over a piece of paper:

“Use the magic stones from selling the ring to buy these things for me. Get as much as possible, and if the magic stones are not enough, I’ll get more.”

“It seems you’re in a hurry!” Orseia smiled, took the paper, glanced at it, and her expression changed slightly:

“These things…”

“They’re all necessities for wizard apprentices to fight. With this many, are you going to fight a war with someone?”

“You don’t need to worry about that.” Karl waved his hand:

“I need to get a large amount of supplies as soon as possible, at the latest within half a month. Can you do it?”

“I can, but…” Orseia hesitated for a moment, then nodded:

“Leave it to me!”

“Good.” Karl smiled:

“As soon as possible.”

Watching Karl leave in a hurry, Orseia looked puzzled and reviewed the shopping list in her hand again.

‘What is he going to do with so many supplies?’

On the other side.

“Karl.”

Sybil, dressed in a close-fitting outfit, came to the tavern and waved to the figure waiting quietly in the corner:

“You were looking for me.”

“Yes.”

Karl turned around:

“Sit.”

The close-fitting outfit revealed Sybil’s exaggerated figure, and her wide cloak rustled behind her.

After sitting down.

Sybil casually poured herself a glass of wine and drank it straight down:

“What do you want to talk about?”

Karl sat up straight, waved his hand lightly, and cast a zero-circle cantrip, a silencing spell, to prevent the sound from spreading.

Sybil raised an eyebrow at this.

So cautious?

At this time, there was no one else in the tavern except for the boss who was sleeping soundly on the counter.

“I have a deal I want to discuss with you. If we move quickly, we can make at least 30% profit within a month. Are you interested?”

“Thirty percent?” Sybil laughed:

“I didn’t know you had a talent for business, but if you can really guarantee a 30% profit, I’ll definitely do it.”

“That’s good.” Karl clapped his hands:

“Now we’ve reached a preliminary consensus. We’ll split the profits 50/50 after it’s done.”

“Wait a minute.” Sybil raised her hand:

“Although you’re my junior brother, and I trust you, I still need to see if this business is viable.”

“Of course.” Karl leaned forward, lowering his voice:

“Yesterday, an angel descended upon Catherine.”

“Huh?”

“Ah!”

“……”

Sybil blinked, her expression changing back and forth, from surprise to confusion, to panic, and even bewilderment:

“What did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly, can you say it again?”

“Yesterday, an angel descended upon Catherine. You should know that she is now a believer of the Morning Sun.” Karl said in a low voice:

“Listen to me before you ask. Last night…”

Not long after.

Sybil finally accepted the fact that an angel had descended, her brows furrowed, and her face showed contemplation.

“So…”

“Do you think the Grey-Robed Wizard will agree to the angel’s request and let the Swamp Alliance intervene in the war between mortals?”

“Yes.” Karl nodded:

“What do you think?”

“I think so too.” Sybil’s expression was complicated:

“That’s a Star Gate!”

“They’re probably discussing the details of the agreement now, but we will eventually participate in it.”

“Yes.” Karl said:

“When the news spreads, the prices of various supplies will rise, and you know a lot of people. Can you borrow some magic stones?”

“That’s right!” Sybil’s eyes lit up:

“With the war against Colon, the prices of combat supplies will definitely skyrocket.”

“Karl!”

She said urgently:

“I’ll raise the money, and you’re responsible for hoarding supplies. We must take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, but don’t be too blatant, so as not to attract other people’s attention.”

Karl nodded.

That was why he had sought out Sybil.

Over the past three years, Sybil had made many friends and was one of the veterans of the young organization, ‘Starry Secret Society’.

The magic stones she could borrow were far more than Karl.

Over the next few days, Karl secretly purchased supplies through Orseia, shops, and street stalls.

Sybil was very helpful.

She even mortgaged their island and their shares in Hetty’s company, plus the magic stones she borrowed from others, the total amount exceeded 1,500 magic stones.

One thousand five hundred magic stones!

This was a fortune that would make even a formal wizard envious.

Seven days later.

“There are already other people quietly hoarding supplies in the market. Orseia probably guessed something too, and she’s also hoarding.”

Karl checked the recent goods and shook his head:

“We don’t have many magic stones left, and the prices of supplies have already started to rise. It doesn’t make much sense to continue buying.”

“Then let’s stop.” Sybil’s eyes lit up, full of energy:

“Mordecai already knows the news too. His mentor is a formal wizard. It seems that the Grey-Robed Wizard has almost finished the negotiations.”

“Yeah.” Karl said:

“Next…”

“We’ll just wait for the prices to rise and sell the goods!”

…………

Half a month later.

A strange atmosphere began to appear in the Swamp Alliance.

The wizard apprentices at the bottom didn’t know exactly what had happened, but they noticed that the prices of various supplies were rising.

And those with connections had already heard that the envoys of the Kingdom of Gando had arrived in the Black Swamp and had reached some kind of agreement with the Grey-Robed Wizard.

Price increases.

Officially began!

…………

Karl didn’t need to worry about selling the goods. The goods he had hoarded were all necessities for wizard apprentices to fight.

As long as he put them out there, someone would definitely buy them.

Orseia was responsible for this, with Sybil assisting from the side.

“It’s gone crazy!”

This day.

Sybil found Karl, her forehead sweating, and she took several gulps of water before calming her breathing.

“When we got the goods, the prices were relatively cheap because of the large quantities, but the current profit has exceeded 50%.”

“But I’ve observed that there seems to be some movement within the alliance. I’m afraid they might intervene in the market, and they might even arrest a few people who are disrupting the market as an example.”

“Then let’s sell them as soon as possible.” Karl narrowed his eyes:

“It doesn’t matter if we make a little less.”

“That’s what I was thinking too.” Sybil nodded, giving him an admiring look, and then said:

“There’s one more thing.”

“The Grey-Robed Wizard has already reached an agreement with the envoy of the Kingdom of Gando. We’re responsible for eliminating some of Colon’s generals and nobles. Everyone will be mobilized this time, and even you will be forced to accept a mission. Missions will be assigned soon.”

Karl’s expression was calm. He had expected this. It was impossible for anyone to stay out of such a matter that concerned the future of all wizard apprentices and to get away with it without paying a price.

“I can’t act with you this time.”

Sybil looked troubled:

“In the alliance’s exploration team, I have a few teammates who work well together, and I also have to set off with the members of the Starry Secret Society.”

“The key is…”

“We chose a legendary knight as our target. It’s too dangerous to bring you along.”

“A legendary knight?” Karl frowned:

“That’s too risky!”

Although it was said that a senior wizard apprentice could kill a legendary knight, that was a senior wizard apprentice like Adolf, who had accumulated decades of experience.

Even so.

The chances of success were still not high.

Moreover, every legendary knight in Colon held a high position of power, and they were definitely surrounded by guards and even Fire Thieves.

Even a senior wizard apprentice would be going to their death.

“Don’t worry.”

Sybil smiled lightly:

“Since we dared to choose a legendary knight as our target, we’ve naturally made preparations. In the next two days, we’ll divide the magic stones we earned, and you should also get some good magic items, you’ll need them then.”

Karl nodded slowly.
