Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 118

Chapter 118: Desecrated Knight Yana

When Karl arrived at the Alliance headquarters, it was already in chaos. Clearly, he wasn’t the only one who had been assassinated.

“Arnold is dead!”

“What, he’s dead too?”

“……”

“How did so many Colon assassins and Fire Thieves appear in the Black Swamp? How did they get in?”

“Mordecai was also assassinated and is still unconscious.”

Mordecai?

A familiar name made Karl’s eyes flicker slightly.

“Karl!”

Orseia walked in from outside. Seeing that he was safe and sound, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and pulled him outside.

“You must have heard, Colon is retaliating against the Swamp Alliance. Many people have already been killed.”

“The leader of your Starry Secret Society, Mordecai, was also injured, but luckily someone saved him and he survived.”

As a merchant, her information was relatively well-informed.

“How did they get here?” Karl frowned:

“Assassinating so many people at once must be a big operation. Didn’t the Swamp Alliance notice anything beforehand?”

“Well…” Orseia’s eyes flickered, and she whispered:

“It’s said they used the power of a deity to create a spatial passage to send the assassins over.”

“This is information leaked by a formal wizard. I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

“A deity?” Karl looked surprised:

“Aren’t such beings not supposed to interfere in mortal wars?”

“Who knows.” Orseia shrugged:

“They only sent people over, maybe that doesn’t violate the agreement.”

Karl shook his head.

In fact, the Morning Sun’s active contact with the Swamp Alliance was already considered an indirect intervention, so it was not surprising that the other side had taken action.

If the situation escalated…

It was also possible that second and even third-order angels would appear on the battlefield, which meant the situation was becoming increasingly dangerous.

“Oh, right!”

Orseia continued:

“I heard that Colon has a kill list, and those on the list will face endless assassinations.”

“Until the target dies!”

As she spoke, she glanced at him.

Karl’s heart sank.

“Don’t worry.” Orseia whispered reassuringly:

“I received news that the Star Gate has already opened. You’ll definitely be among the first to go to the Wizard World. As long as you leave this continent, you won’t have to fear Colon’s assassinations anymore.”

“Mm.”

Karl nodded slowly.

He had already decided that he would stay at the Alliance headquarters for the next period of time unless it was necessary.

Until he went to the Wizard World.

No matter how arrogant Colon’s assassins were, they wouldn’t dare to assassinate someone under the noses of several formal wizards.

Moreover,

he himself was not weak.

“Karl!”

At this moment, someone shouted:

“A formal wizard is looking for you!”

Huh?

A formal wizard is looking for me?

Amid the surprised gazes of the people nearby, Karl, also looking puzzled, stepped out.

…………

Formal wizard Marianne, the only disciple of the Grey-Robed Wizard Addison.

Wizard Tulayang!

Nicknamed the Storm Wizard, from the Kingdom of Sark, he was a middle-aged man with a full beard and a burly body.

“Greetings, esteemed senior wizards.”

In the somewhat dim room, Karl spoke cautiously:

“I wonder why you have come to me?”

“Don’t be nervous.” Marianne’s face twitched, seemingly a little unhappy, but her attitude towards him was not bad:

“My friend Tulayang has something he wants you to help with and is willing to pay the corresponding price.”

“Help?” Karl’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart was on high alert:

“I’m just an ordinary wizard apprentice. I don’t know how I can help a formal wizard.”

“Heh…” The Storm Wizard Tulayang was not as friendly as Marianne. Hearing this, he grinned:

“At least, you have good luck.”

“Seven or eight people went out to carry out a mission, and the credit fell on you alone. It’s truly enviable.”

“Yes.” Karl lowered his head:

“It’s a pity that I watched my companions get killed, and I couldn’t help at all.”

“Enough!” Tulayang waved his hand:

“I’m not interested in how you completed the mission. I’m here for the spot you have.”

“Spot?”

“That’s right!” Tulayang nodded:

“The spot for the first batch to go to the Wizard World.”

Huh?

Karl’s expression turned grim.

“I seem to remember that the Alliance has a rule that the merits gained from this mission cannot be transferred or traded.”

“Yes.” The Storm Wizard Tulayang nodded:

“But you can choose to withdraw voluntarily.”

“……” Karl:

“Esteemed wizards, what kind of person do you think would choose to withdraw voluntarily?”

“Karl.” Marianne sighed:

“My friend has someone very important who wants to go with this batch, and he really needs the spot you have.”

“Moreover…”

“Although the Star Gate is a one-way teleportation, it’s not limited to one use. You can have a second chance, and we can guarantee you a spot in the second teleportation.”

She ultimately chose to back down.

“Second time?” Karl asked:

“When will the second teleportation start?”

“……” Marianne pursed her lips:

“Ten years later.”

Ten years!

Karl was speechless.

He had long known there was a catch. If the second teleportation could happen in a short time, why would they care about this spot?

“Esteemed wizards.” He said:

“Because of the assassination mission, I’m already on Colon’s enemy list. I’m afraid I won’t last ten years.”

“Moreover, at my age, it’s unlikely that I’ll make any progress on the path of wizardry in another ten years.”

“Hmph!” The Storm Wizard Tulayang snorted:

“Assassination?”

“Aren’t you fine?”

“Besides, with your wizard talent, even if you went to the Wizard World ten years earlier, what progress could you make?”

Karl’s expression became increasingly unpleasant.

“Actually, there’s another option.” Marianne thought for a moment and said:

“The Star Gate given by the Divine Domain is a wizard artifact from a long time ago. Besides going to the Wizard World, it can also go to the Magic Forest. Although it’s not as prosperous as the Wizard World, it’s not bad either.”

“The Magic Forest?” Karl’s eyes flickered:

“Does that belong to the Wizard World?”

“No!” Marianne shook her head:

“The Magic Forest is located north of the Kingdom of Slo. You can think of it as the place where the Wizard World and our continent meet.”

Speaking of this, she sighed:

“I’ll also be going there. If you’re willing, you can go to the Magic Forest with me, stay there for a few years, and then go to the Wizard World.”

“Moreover…”

“There are other benefits to going to the Magic Forest.”

“Other benefits?” Karl asked:

“What benefits?”

“There’s an organization in the Wizard World called the Six Rings Tower, and they have an outpost in the Magic Forest.” Marianne said:

“We can enter the Magic Forest as members of the Six Rings Tower, help the people at the outpost complete missions, and then go to the Wizard World again, effectively becoming members of the Six Rings Tower.”

“Karl!”

“With your wizard talent, you can’t join the Six Rings Tower. This is the only way, or you could say the only opportunity.”

Karl’s expression became thoughtful.

Although the other party didn’t say what the Six Rings Tower represented, the fact that it made a formal wizard speak with such reverence meant it must be a large organization, perhaps with considerable influence even in the Wizard World.

Six Rings Tower?

Could it be that there are six-ring wizards?

A six-ring wizard could be comparable to a deity, an immortal and indestructible being!

“As compensation for losing the spot.”

The Storm Wizard Tulayang, expressionless, took out a potion and put it down:

“This is a Green Potion.”

A Green Potion!

It was a blue potion, something every senior wizard apprentice dreamed of.

“Not enough!”

Karl’s eyes flickered:

“Add a Silence Potion.”

A Green Potion and a Silence Potion together were a perfect match, greatly increasing the chances of a breakthrough.

“A Silence Potion?” The Storm Wizard Tulayang shook his head:

“You probably don’t know how rare the ingredients for that potion are. Even formal wizards don’t have it.”

“Maybe…”

“You can try your luck in the Magic Forest. The magic materials there are much more abundant than here.”

“Just a Green Potion is indeed a bit cheap.” Marianne seemed to be intentionally biased towards Karl and said:

“You can make another request, or… Tulayang can give you some magic stones as compensation.”

The Storm Wizard Tulayang frowned slightly, but did not object.

“Then…” Karl thought for a moment and said:

“I want a high-level magic item.”

“What?”

Tulayang’s expression changed, and the spiritual power of a formal wizard surged out like a tangible force, enveloping the entire room:

“A high-level magic item, you really dare to ask!”

It was as if a storm had swept through the room. The invisible pressure made Karl’s muscles tense, and his body sent out frequent warning signals.

This time,

even Marianne shook her head slightly.

The value of a high-level magic item was higher than that of a Silence Potion. Even formal wizards didn’t have many of them.

“I can buy it with magic stones.”

Karl said in a muffled voice:

“Three hundred magic stones!”

“Huh?”

The Storm Wizard Tulayang raised an eyebrow.

The price of a high-level magic item was in the range of several hundred magic stones. Three hundred was considered somewhat sincere.

He thought for a moment.

He took out a dark golden talisman from his body.

“This thing is called the Phantom Amulet. It consumes a certain amount of spiritual power to make the body ethereal and dodge attacks.”

“The ethereal body can be immune to most physical attacks and some magical attacks, but it has no effect on mental attacks.”

“It’s a high-level magic item I obtained some years ago. It’s not very useful for wizards, but you’re a grand knight, so you should be able to use it.”

A Phantom Amulet?

Karl looked at it intently.

The talisman was the size of a palm, with complex patterns carved on it and obvious signs of wear on its surface.

A mysterious power was accumulating on it.

“Alright!”

He nodded, agreeing to it.

Faced with the ‘request’ of two formal wizards, a mere wizard apprentice had no power to resist.

Other World.

Rapid Flow City.

Because the path to the Wizard World was blocked, Karl’s mood wasn’t very high, so he simply came here to relax.

“Esteemed Guardian!”

The Holy Knight Brown came to visit:

“To ensure your safety, the Holy Sanctuary has sent a Desecrated Knight. Shall I let her in?”

***

“A Desecrated Knight?” Karl, who was reading a book, looked up:

“Let her in.”

“Yes.”

Brown smiled and withdrew, bringing someone in.

It was a person completely wrapped in a black robe, with a greatsword hanging at their waist.

A greatsword that was even larger than a broadsword.

The person in the black robe was slender, probably… a woman?

Brown had said the Holy Sanctuary would send someone, and after several months, someone finally came, and it was a woman?

“Yana.”

Coming before Karl, the person in the black robe knelt on one knee:

“Greetings, esteemed Guardian.”

Her voice was somewhat androgynous, so calm that it lacked any emotional fluctuations, like a machine without feelings.

“Get up.” Karl said:

“Can you let me see your face?”

The woman in the black robe stood up and took off the black robe.

Golden hair like a waterfall!

As the black robe came off, golden light like the rising sun fell from each strand of hair.

The sunlight passed through her hair, falling on her cheeks, reflecting her deep and firm eyes.

Her face was handsome and resolute, her features clear and strong, and her deep eyes revealed an inviolable sharpness.

Under the black robe was a close-fitting armor, gleaming with a cold metallic luster, and her lithe figure was full of explosive power.

She was a very beautiful, or rather, handsome woman, but her eyes made it difficult to approach her.

“Yana.” Karl said:

“Are you here to protect me?”

“Yes.” Yana nodded, still without any expression on her face:

“From today on, I will protect you at all times. You can treat me like a sword in your hand, to be used at will.”

“Then…” Karl asked curiously:

“How strong are you?”

Brown had always said that the Holy Sanctuary possessed incredibly powerful forces, but Karl remained skeptical.

If they were really that powerful, would they still be hiding in some unknown corner, afraid to show their faces?

Yana’s aura wasn’t strong either.

But to be specifically called by Brown, a grand knight, to protect him, she shouldn’t be weak either.

“I am a Desecrated Knight.”

Yana said:

“If I go all out, I can kill a legendary creature.”

“Huh?” Karl looked surprised:

“You’re a legendary knight?”

Yana’s skin was smooth and tight, and her life force was vigorous. She shouldn’t be old, yet she was already a legend.

Moreover…

Wasn’t it said that without a duke’s bloodline or a deity’s blessing, one couldn’t become a legend?

Yana nodded:

“You can understand it that way.”

“Guardian.” Brown said:

“Yana has the bloodline of an evil god, so… she can’t act often, otherwise she’ll mutate and become a monster.”

“Guardian, please rest assured.” Yana interjected:

“Before I mutate, I will commit suicide first and will never threaten your existence.”

Huh?

The bloodline of an evil god?

Karl’s eyes flickered, and his expression became strange:

“Come here, let me take a closer look.”

Yana frowned. Karl’s attitude made her have some bad premonitions.

The bloodline she possessed was very special. Regardless of gender, it would make one exceptionally beautiful and would attract the attention of some people.

Because she couldn’t release her power at will, she remembered that some Desecrated Knights had become playthings in the hands of others for various reasons.

After hesitating for a moment, she slowly approached.

Karl reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Analysis Technique!

Huh?

Yana’s expression changed slightly.

She could sense a strange power surging from Karl’s hand into her body, seeping deep into her bloodline.

It was a power she had never encountered before, different from a knight’s battle aura and the power of a bloodline.

Guardian!

Could this be the power bestowed by a deity?

However, the other party clearly had no other intentions, which made Yana breathe a sigh of relief. If the guardian did anything impolite, she really didn’t know how to refuse.

After a while, Karl slowly withdrew his hand, his face full of confusion, doubt, and a hint of solemnity.

“The bloodline of an evil god…”

He muttered:

“Did you obtain the corpse of an evil god?”

Brown looked blank.

While Yana’s expression changed.

This matter had always been a secret of the Desecrated Knights!

“It seems so.”

Karl nodded:

“An incredible method, fusing the bloodline of an evil god with the human body, giving people extraordinary power.”

“It’s a pity!”

“Trying to control the power of a god with a mortal body will ultimately be assimilated by that power, so you Desecrated Knights don’t live long, right?”

“Yes.” Yana nodded:

“The longest-lived Desecrated Knight lived to be thirty years old.”

“Thirty.” Karl sighed:

“You’re pitiful.”

In order to suppress the power within their bodies, Desecrated Knights, despite possessing great strength, couldn’t use it at will. They couldn’t even have intense emotional fluctuations. Their entire lives were spent as killing machines.

Until death.

Yana’s calm eyes showed a slight ripple, then she lowered her head and said in a muffled voice:

“Everything, for the great Moon Goddess.”

“Alright.” Karl waved his hand:

“From now on, you’ll follow me, but not all the time. I also have some personal privacy.”

“Oh, right!”

He said casually:

“This technique must have been developed after the Moon Goddess fell. Who created the Desecrated Knights?”

“Reinhardt.” Yana said:

“A wicked rebel, a former Holy Sanctuary Knight, a man who once received the blessing of the God of Wisdom.”

“Now he’s a steward by the duke’s side.”

“He’s not dead yet?” Karl looked surprised.

“No.” Yana shook her head:

“Over the centuries, the Holy Sanctuary has made many attempts to assassinate him, but none have succeeded. On the contrary, the Holy Sanctuary has been hiding and dare not show up because of him.”

Reinhardt?

Karl silently memorized the name.

Even with bloodline magic, it was impossible for an ordinary person to fuse with the powerful bloodline of an evil god.

But this person had done it!

Even…

There was also a restriction deep within Yana’s bloodline. As soon as the bloodline of the evil god went out of control, her body would collapse, and even the lifespan of the Desecrated Knights was limited in advance.

These various preventive measures, the means of engraving them deep within the bloodline, were even more inconceivable.

It was hard to imagine.

How did he do it in this world without wizards?

However, since he had lived for hundreds of years, he must have surpassed the legendary level and was far beyond what he could currently reach.

…………

“Rumble…”

The crimson moon hung high, and the cold wind swept across the land. A cavalry of more than three hundred people appeared outside Rapid Flow City.

As the city gates opened, the team slowly entered the city.

More than three hundred people.

Including their horses.

Besides the sound of hooves, the clashing of armor, and the sound of flags fluttering in the wind, there was no other sound.

Even the sound of breathing was absent!

An invisible aura of killing intent spread in all directions as the cavalry arrived, and the people in the city closed their doors one after another.

“The knights of the City of the Dead.”

On the wide street, a group of people came to greet them. Sea God Hawke opened his arms and shouted towards the front:

“Welcome to you!”

“Clatter!”

The sound of hooves suddenly stopped.

Hundreds of healthy horses stopped at the same time, their synchronized movement was terrifying.

“Hawke?”

“It’s me.” Sea God Hawke lowered his head, a layer of cold sweat appearing on his forehead:

“May I ask how to address the esteemed knight?”

“John.” A rider slowly stepped out of the team. The person on horseback wore a bronze mask, a mask of a legendary little demon.

He lowered his head to look:

“Rapid Flow City will send five hundred people to go with us to the Free Port. We need someone familiar with the terrain of the Free Port.”

“Grand Knight, stay behind.”

Hawke looked up.

…………

Dragon King Trading Company.

When Rapid Flow City was rebuilt, a trading company headquarters was also built.

At this time, the top figures of the trading company were all gathered together to discuss matters related to going to the Free Port.

“Hawke’s intention is for me to stay behind.”

Lula said:

“Everyone else will go with them. He will tell the people of the Sea God Society to listen to my arrangements for the next period of time.”

This was undoubtedly a sign of trust.

“Chairwoman.”

Someone asked:

“This time, only the knights from Princess Mevia’s side have come, not the army sent by the duke.”

“Can they solve the trouble in the Free Port?”

“They’re not responsible for solving the trouble.” Lula shook her head:

“They’re here to investigate what exactly happened in the Free Port, and to see if City Lord Soden is still alive.”

“The main focus is on investigation!”

“Don’t underestimate these knights.” Quincy shrugged and said:

“The Death Knights are Princess Mevia’s personal army. Each of them is at least a peak knight, and many have the strength of a grand knight. Moreover, their bodies have been modified, making them stronger than ordinary grand knights.”

“At night, they might even be able to fight against legendary knights. The leader, the Ghost-Faced Knight, has divine blood in his body and is a true legendary knight.”

“That’s right.” Connie nodded:

“Three hundred Death Knights are already a very powerful force. It shouldn’t be a problem for them to just investigate.”

“Then…” Lula leaned forward:

“Are we really all going?”

The expressions of the others changed.

The current Free Port had hundreds of thousands of merfolk, each of them no weaker than a knight squire, and there were also some strange and powerful variants among them.

Plus all sorts of bizarre legendary creatures…

Those who had experienced that catastrophe and witnessed countless deaths firsthand were not really willing to go back.

“Troublesome!”

Karl rubbed his forehead, looking distressed.

He was sitting at the edge of the crowd, and his voice was very soft, so no one else except those nearby heard him.

In the Dragon King Trading Company, his status was very special. He was the type who didn’t do anything but had extremely high prestige, even surpassing the chairwoman.

However, because Karl often disappeared and didn’t know much about the specific affairs of the trading company, few people asked for his opinion during meetings.

“Guardian, please rest assured.” Standing behind him, Yana, who had put on her black robe again, whispered:

“Even if we go to the Free Port, I will protect you with my life.”

“That’s not the reason.” Karl shook his head:

“Why is it at this time?”

In another month, he would be going to the Magic Forest, and it wouldn’t be convenient to travel between the two worlds during this time.

However…

He definitely had to go to the Free Port.

Hawke had given Karl a map of the Free Port, showing the territories of the Sea God Society, the Sickle Brotherhood, and other major forces, as well as the locations where they stored important items.

According to him,

when the disaster suddenly struck, there was no time to take anything, and each faction should have left twenty or thirty Great God’s Grace coins in the Free Port.

So,

even without the Death Knights, he would have to go there once.

It was just that Karl had originally thought that he would go back after several years, when he had become a legendary knight or a formal wizard, possessing a certain level of strength.

Now…

With the Desecrated Knight Yana and a group of Death Knights accompanying him, he could try going there.

This was an opportunity!
