Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Beast Pills

Zimmerman’s face was flushed, and his spirits were high, feeling that today was the highlight of his decades of life.

Relying on the young master of the Capet Family, he independently managed a shop and became a respectable figure in the market.

From today onwards!

He was no longer an employee running errands under someone else’s command, but a successful person with his own business.

Those usually aloof merchants were now visiting one after another, their attitudes warm and their mouths filled with congratulatory words.

Although they all came because of the Capet Family, Zimmerman didn’t care.

One day, he would achieve true success!

“Zimmerman!”

Just as he was greeting customers, Fella, the large man who sold potions in the shop, rushed over.

Pulling Zimmerman aside, the large man Fella said urgently:

“Something’s not right!”

“There are too few people buying potions. Even those who do only buy one or two bottles out of respect for Young Master Allen. This is completely different from what we expected.”

How could this be?

Zimmerman looked bewildered.

All the guests invited today had a certain amount of purchasing power.

What’s more, to celebrate the opening, the potions were being sold at almost the cost price, making no profit at all.

Even if it was for the cheap prices, there should still be a large volume of sales.

“Hush…”

“Hurry! If you’re late, they’ll be gone!”

“Wizard Archie’s potion shop across the way has a new product, but you can only buy it if you buy their potions first, but it’s still worth it.”

“Hurry! Hurry!”

The whispers coming from the crowd nearby made Zimmerman’s face gradually darken, and Fella’s expression changed even more.

“Go!”

Beckoning an employee, Zimmerman instructed:

“Go and see what’s going on over there?”

“Yes.”

The employee went quickly and returned quickly.

“The potion shop across the way is selling a kind of beast pill that can assist knights in their cultivation. The price is very cheap, but if you want to buy the beast pills, you have to buy their potions first. Many people are going there for the beast pills.”

“I heard that they’re also having a promotion. After three days, the price of the beast pills will double.”

“Everyone is scrambling to buy them.”

The employee licked his lips, suppressing the agitation in his eyes. If it weren’t for fear of offending the two people in front of him, he would have bought one himself.

“Thud…”

Zimmerman’s body swayed, and he staggered back a few steps, his face even paler.

Fella’s face was grim, and he immediately rushed towards the opposite side, pushing through the crowd and squeezing into Archie’s potion shop.

Not long after, he returned with a few bottles of potions and some beast pills, his expression even more unsightly.

Most potions had an expiration date.

So hoarding potions didn’t make much sense.

This also meant that the potions sold in the market each day had a fixed amount. If one shop sold more, the others would definitely sell less.

Just like now.

Everyone was rushing to buy beast pills and potions at Wizard Archie’s potion shop, making it difficult to increase sales at Allen’s shop.

Not far away.

Several people from the Capet Family were paying attention to the situation here.

“Allen, my dear brother.”

Sam sneered:

“Did you see that? Running a business isn’t as simple as you imagined. Cutting your losses might be the best option.”

“Today’s lesson, I believe, will leave a deep impression on you, especially not to easily believe what others say.”

Allen’s face was ashen.

“Allen.” Aunt Millie looked at him with sympathy:

“You don’t need to rush to pay back my money, but you seem to have borrowed quite a few magic stones from Third Brother and promised high interest. He’s not as easy to talk to as I am.”

“…Sigh!”

“You figure it out.”

Allen’s body swayed, and his face turned pale instantly.

…………

“Beast Pills!”

In the room.

Wizard Archie picked up a high-quality beast pill, examined it carefully in front of his eyes, and then slowly put it down after a long while.

“A very interesting technique, ancient, rigorous, but not complex. It’s somewhat similar to the ancient period’s pharmacology.”

He looked at Karl:

“Did you bring this back from the Eastern Kingdom Continent?”

“Yes.” Karl nodded. Of course, he couldn’t say that this was a technique from another world:

“At the time, I just got my hands on a method of potion-making out of curiosity. I didn’t expect it to be useful here.”

“What?” Charlie asked curiously:

“You don’t use it there?”

“Uh…” Karl opened his mouth, then replied:

“In the Eastern Kingdom Continent, there are very few magical creatures, and legendary creatures are almost never seen.”

“So it’s a useless technique over there.”

“Clap!”

Charlie lightly slapped his forehead:

“I almost forgot.”

“Although the path of wizards has declined in the Eastern Kingdom Continent, there was once a brilliant civilization there.” Wizard Archie put down the beast pill and said:

“Even our Six Rings Tower came from the Eastern Kingdom Continent. It’s not strange to have some mysterious inheritances.”

“That’s right.”

He nodded:

“Just relying on these beast pills, we can maintain the operation of the potion shop. Karl, you did a good job this time.”

There were also potions that assisted knights in their cultivation here, but they weren’t cheap.

As long as there was a continuous supply of legendary creature flesh and blood, the cost of high-quality beast pills would be much lower than potions.

The potion shop could also use the beast pills to open up the market.

However, to seize the market, they definitely couldn’t sell them too expensively, so the current profit margin was very low.

And the refining of beast pills was actually not complex. The other world didn’t even have wizards, and they could be made purely by hand.

The raw materials were also transparent. Even if Karl had mastered the key steps, it would be easy for others to imitate.

This time might be a month, maybe two months, but it wouldn’t be too long.

By then.

It would be even harder to increase the price of the beast pills.

So, the beast pills would eventually become a low-priced item, gradually circulating in the market.

But before that, relying on this product, it was enough for the potion shop to firmly establish itself in the market.

“The beast pills you brought out are good, but the operation of a shop can’t rely on just one product.” Wizard Archie said:

“What do you plan to do next?”

“With the beast pills attracting customers, we’ll sell more potions each month than before.” Karl replied:

“I plan to sign long-term contracts with several alchemists, with the condition of purchasing a fixed amount and quantity of potions.”

“And since our shop needs so many potions each month, it’s normal for the purchase price to be a little cheaper than others.”

“By agreeing on the quantity and price of the potions to be delivered, and the compensation for violating the agreement, we can also prevent what happened these past few days from happening again.”

“As long as no one imitates the beast pills before then, we can tie the alchemists to the potion shop and maintain the operation of the shop.”

In terms of business management.

Not to mention the prosperous commercial environment of his past life, the Eastern Kingdom Continent already had various commercial contracts.

And the Magic Forest still maintained the ancient rules of business.

The chaotic, disorderly, and barbaric living environment made it difficult to create a developed commerce.

Karl’s proposal was very novel to the two of them, and Charlie even excitedly slapped his thigh.

“Unbelievable!”

“Junior Brother Karl is actually a business genius. If only you had come earlier.”

“Don’t worry!”

He patted his chest and said:

“I’ll help you contact the alchemists. I’ll continue to stay at the shop for the next six months to manage the business.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Karl smiled:

“With Senior Brother’s help, things will be much easier.”

He held the beast pill, a trump card, in his hand. Zimmerman’s so-called schemes and plans would only become laughable.

All schemes couldn’t withstand the overwhelming trend.

And the overwhelming trend in business was high-quality and low-priced products.

As for the shortage of potions in the potion shop, it was even easier to solve. Whether it was support from the Tower or borrowing from Sam, there was no need to worry in the short term.

As long as the reputation of the beast pills spread in the market after these three days, the potion shop’s business would naturally stabilize.

“By the way!”

Karl asked:

“What about Zimmerman?”

Hearing this, Wizard Archie and Charlie’s faces darkened, and a sense of gloom rose in their hearts.

“Thirty years!”

Wizard Archie shook his head lightly, his tone filled with emotion:

“The reason I didn’t take him as a disciple was because Zimmerman’s personality had a major flaw.”

“He thought I didn’t know about him secretly buying potions at a low price and reselling them, and making a profit for himself when purchasing potions?”

“Sigh!”

“The people of the Capet Family are not as good-tempered as I am.”

…………

A few days later.

Night!

A black figure appeared on the outskirts of the Leipzig Market.

Zimmerman, carrying a package, carefully looked around, then tightened his grip on the staff in his hand and quietly ran towards the distance.

“Damn it!”

“That bastard Fella pushed all the blame onto me. It was clearly his suggestion to open the shop opposite Wizard Archie’s potion shop!”

“And Allen!”

“What a young master of the Capet Family. He’s just a fool. He opens a shop without knowing anything.”

He muttered, his face filled with hatred:

“I lost money when the shop lost money. Why should I be responsible? Since you’re forcing me, then don’t blame me for being impolite!”

“Leaving the Leipzig Market, I can still go somewhere else. Do you really think I’ll hang myself from one tree?”

“Karl…”

“Damn bastard!”

Zimmerman muttered softly, but his voice didn’t travel out, and even the sound of his footsteps was silent.

Clearly, he was using a very advanced ‘silencing’ spell.

“Whoosh!”

With a flash of his body, he seemed to be gliding forward as if pushed by the wind, floating seven or eight meters forward.

Seeing that he could leave the market’s range by passing through a short alley ahead.

“Zimmerman!”

Just then, a familiar voice sounded:

“My friend, where are you going alone so late? Aren’t you afraid of encountering any danger?”

From the alley entrance ahead, a figure slowly stepped out, blocking his path.

The person was tall and burly, with sparse hair on his head, and a pair of eyes that shone with pure golden light.

This was a characteristic of a certain spell being activated.

“Fella!”

Seeing the person, Zimmerman’s face changed:

“Why are you here?”

“Heh…” The large man Fella chuckled:

“That’s what I should be asking you, my friend. You haven’t been focusing on the shop these past few days.”

“And!”

He pointed at the package on Zimmerman’s back:

“What’s in your package? It wouldn’t be the magic stones used for the shop’s operations, would it?”

“Nonsense!” Zimmerman’s eyes flickered:

“I just came out for a stroll because I was in a bad mood.”

“Is that so?” Fella shook his head:

“You should go back and say that to Young Master Allen. If the young master believes you, I have nothing to say.”

“Clap clap!”

He clapped his hands lightly:

“Come out!”

As the voice fell, figures appeared from nearby, and an invisible sense of killing intent enveloped Zimmerman.

“Hmm?”

Fella’s eyes flickered:

“That’s not right!”

Saying that, he waved his hand, and a stream of light appeared, piercing through Zimmerman’s body.

Spell ━ Flying Arrow!

Zimmerman’s expression froze, and his body swayed slightly from the attack, then turned into a puddle of water droplets scattered on the ground.

“A water clone?”

Fella’s eyes narrowed:

“Zimmerman, my friend, do you really think you can escape?”

“Chase!”

“If he resists, kill him directly!”

“Yes!”

Under the night, the hunting squad from the Capet Family responded in unison, then disappeared silently into the darkness.

The hunting game had officially begun.

Divine Domain Fragment.

***

The data panel quietly floated in mid-air.

Name: Karl

Constitution: 5.4

Mental Power: 5.85

Source Essence: 0

Level: Legendary Knight, Senior Wizard Apprentice

Abyssal Bloodline Fusion Rate: 15%

A constitution of 5.4 was ten times that of an ordinary person in terms of numerical value alone, but the difference was far more than ten times.

The blessing of battle aura and combat techniques made his body comparable to a machine forged from steel.

Even a hundred ordinary people who had trained all year round and were clad in armor were no match for a Legendary Knight.

And with a mental power of 5.85, many newly advanced Formal Wizards didn’t have such a deep foundation.

However, mental power was one thing, and realm was another.

Formal Wizards could sense the Astral Plane, and their spells were far more powerful than Senior Wizard Apprentices. What’s more, they had also mastered first-circle spells.

“Soon!”

Karl waved his hand and dismissed the data panel:

“Even if the cultivation of mental power becomes very slow, it won’t take two years to completely master the Sea of Consciousness.”

“By then, the bloodline fusion rate should also reach 30%.”

With enough mental power, he could try to advance to a Formal Wizard, but Karl didn’t plan to do so.

It was too dangerous!

Failure to advance could lead to death.

Even with his mental power, there was a high chance that he wouldn’t fail, but what if, what if something went wrong?

With the perfect control of his body in the Divine Domain Fragment, he didn’t have to worry about death at least by walking the path of a bloodline wizard.

The probability of breaking through was also greater.

“No rush!”

“No rush.”

“It’s just a year or two. I’m still young. I can wait.”

Withdrawing his thoughts, the quill pen floated up on its own, recording various experimental data in a spell manual.

Research on the Divine Domain Fragment’s wish-fulfillment mechanism.

One: Divination is a major taboo!

Karl had once tried to divine his future. It was just a simple attempt, and it almost destroyed the Divine Domain Fragment.

Divination was likely related to unknown existences.

And the consumption of divination depended on the existence involved, not on how simple the divination was.

For example:

Karl divined whether it was safe for him to go north. It might be very safe, but he might encounter a terrifying existence on the way.

And the consumption of the divination would be determined by that existence. Even if nothing happened, the consumption would be very high.

So since then, he had never done any divination or prediction experiments again.

Two: It can increase cultivation.

Since it was a wish-fulfillment mechanism, it could of course increase cultivation, but it required the consumption of the Divine Domain Fragment.

And it was very uneconomical!

Karl tried to increase his mental power and bloodline fusion rate.

It could be done.

But unlike using Source Essence to increase power, relying on the Divine Domain Fragment would lead to more than 90% of the power being wasted in the transmission process.

With the current size of the Divine Domain Fragment, even if he sacrificed everything, it wouldn’t increase his strength too much.

If the Divine Domain Fragment was a hundred kilometers or even ten thousand kilometers, he would be able to directly become a second-circle or even a third-circle wizard.

By this logic.

The size of the Divine Domain was almost equivalent to the strength of a ‘deity’. The stronger the deity, the wider their Divine Domain would definitely be.

Three: Believers will not always be devout.

Besides Karl himself, two other people had successfully called out to Taiwei Jade Emperor.

They were Quincy and Aya.

Quincy used this to break through his realm and become a Legendary Knight.

But not long after, he was killed by the Red-Eyed Merfolk. As a believer, everything he had was devoured by the Divine Domain Fragment.

And Aya, with the help of the ‘deity’s’ power, solved the water plague on her body, but she didn’t have any faith.

Initially.

Karl could use the Divine Domain Fragment to observe Aya’s thoughts and life at will, and to exert influence.

But if he didn’t pay attention to it, then as time passed, the connection between the two would become weaker and weaker.

Gradually, it became difficult to sense.

Now, even if Aya encountered an accident and died, her soul and memories would not belong to Taiwei Jade Emperor.

“No wonder people who are entangled with evil gods often have nightmares and are affected. They must be afraid of losing connection.”

“Faith!”

Karl pondered:

“What deities need is long-term faith. Only these believers have meaning. Ordinary, general believers are not very meaningful because it’s not certain whether they will change their faith.”

“Also…”

“A dying person’s conversion is better than a living person’s because after death, everything they have will belong to the deity. Whereas living people might change their faith. No wonder some churches are very willing to persuade dying people to believe in their deity. Even persuading a dying person to believe in their faith is more meritorious than making ten young people become believers.”

“So that’s how it is!”

Four: It cannot create something from nothing.

This was very simple and clear.

You could make a wish to ‘Taiwei Jade Emperor’, but you couldn’t get something that didn’t already exist. At least, Karl couldn’t do it.

But if the Divine Domain Fragment had something, then it could be sent out from afar.

Five: It cannot create life.

Six: …

“Simply put, there’s not much I can do as the Lord of the Divine Domain Fragment.” Karl pondered:

“If I want to do more, I have to get more people to believe in me and develop more believers.”

“Obtain Source Essence from them, strengthen the Divine Domain, and then continue to perform ‘miracles’ to attract more believers.”

“And eventually achieve a virtuous cycle.”

Touching his chin, Karl shook his head helplessly.

“No!”

“I’m just the Lord of the Divine Domain Fragment, not the Lord of the Divine Domain. I only possess functions similar to a deity, but not completely.”

He raised his head and looked at Quincy’s memories trapped in the dimensional cage.

Just one memory of Quincy had a significant impact on him. If there were ten or eight more memories…

The dimensional cage would probably not be able to hold them.

…………

“Mr. Karl!”

Near dusk, when the shop was about to close, the guard “Jay” walked over and said in a low voice:

“Mr. Charlie instructed me to give you a gift. After the shop closes, please follow me.”

“Oh!”

Karl stopped his accounting and looked up curiously:

“What gift?”

“Mr. Charlie instructed me to keep it a secret.” “Jay” smiled:

“But I can assure you that you will definitely like it when you see it.”

“Is that so?”

Karl nodded:

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Not long after.

The sky began to darken, and the shop had already closed. Karl followed the guard “Jay” towards the outside of the market.

“Mr. Karl.”

“Jay” said in a low voice:

“You came from the distant Kalim Continent and are also a disciple of the Six Rings Tower. You’ve seen a lot of peaceful life, but the Magic Forest is different from where you used to be. It’s filled with barbarity and slaughter.”

“You need to slowly get used to it. Mr. Charlie’s gift will help you adapt to the environment here.”

Uh…

Actually, I’m not from the Kalim Continent, and the slaughter I’ve seen is probably even more intense than here.

But what exactly is the gift?

Shaking his head, Karl didn’t explain to the other party and asked:

“How much further?”

“Almost there.” “Jay” pointed ahead:

“It’s right over there!”

The direction he pointed was sparsely populated with houses, and there were no pedestrians at this time. It was on the outskirts of the Leipzig Market.

As they got closer, Karl’s pace gradually slowed down.

His keen senses made him frown unconsciously:

“Are you sure it’s here?”

“That’s right.” “Jay” nodded emphatically:

“It’s right here.”

Saying that, he took a few steps forward and knocked on the courtyard door in front of him.

“Coming!”

A middle-aged man with a blue silk scarf tied around his head and a small mustache opened the courtyard door. After seeing the two of them, he gestured with his hand:

“Please come in!”

Karl wasn’t in a hurry to go in. Instead, he lightly waved his staff.

Detection Spell!

A faint glow emerged from the staff, rippling towards the courtyard, sweeping across the ground, the houses, and the people.

“This gentleman is really careful.”

The small mustache man smiled:

“But don’t worry, although we’re in the business of killing people, we won’t attack our guests.”

“Please!”

Saying that, he bowed again to invite them in.

Karl put away his staff and nodded to the other party, following “Jay” to a place that looked like a main hall.

There were two people standing in the room.

One man and one woman. The man had a scar running from his forehead to his chin, and the woman’s eyes were cold.

Karl had seen this kind of person in the Free Port. They were people from various major forces who were specially responsible for killing, commonly known as assassins.

His gaze only paused on the two of them for a moment before landing on the long wooden box placed diagonally in the center of the room.

“Hehe…”

The small mustache man walked in with a smile and said:

“This time’s target is a hot commodity. Even the people of the Capet Family have issued a kill order for him.”

“Fortunately, we were one step ahead and intercepted his head!”

Saying that,

He gestured for the man to open the wooden box.

“Click!”

The lid of the box was lifted, and inside was a human head, with a stick inserted below the head.

And the head belonged to someone familiar.

Zimmerman!

They really did intercept his head!

“Ah!”

“Ahhh…”

Zimmerman, who only had a head left, wasn’t dead yet. The stick that replaced his body parts supported his life in some special way.

As the lid of the box was lifted, muffled screams came out.

“It’s him.”

Karl lowered his eyebrows and sighed helplessly:

“If you’re going to do it, why did Senior Brother Charlie need me to come and take a look?”

No wonder “Jay” said this gift would help him adapt to the chaos of the Magic Forest. So this was what he meant.

“We’re in business, of course we have to let the client confirm the goods.” The small mustache man smiled:

“Sir, please inspect the goods!”

“…” Karl waved his hand:

“After all, we were colleagues. There’s no need to torture him like this. Just kill him.”

“Okay!”

The small mustache man nodded, and the man next to the wooden box took out a dagger and pointed it at Zimmerman’s head.

“Karl!”

Zimmerman shouted, his eyes wide open:

“I just took a step ahead of you. Do you think you’ll be okay?”

“Dream on!”

“Ah!”

He screamed loudly, but could only watch as the dagger pierced his head.

At the same time.

Karl’s heart ached, and he slowly lowered his head, only to see a bloodstained sword tip piercing through his body and protruding from his chest.

Besides the blood, there was also a hint of azure on the blade, clearly indicating that it was coated with some kind of poison.

What’s going on?

He looked bewildered and turned around.

“Sorry.”

The small mustache man, still holding the sharp blade, still had a smile on his face:

“I accepted a mission to kill Zimmerman, but I also accepted a mission from Zimmerman to kill Mr. Karl.”

“So…”

“I’m really sorry.”

Karl opened his mouth, but in the end, he shook his head speechlessly:

“You local assassins are too unprincipled.”

Hmm?

Karl’s reaction made the small mustache man stunned. Then, his eyes widened, and extreme fear made his body unable to move.

Tentacles appeared in front of his eyes.

Aura of Fear!

Abyssal Bloodline!

Please collect!
