Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 2

Chapter 2: The Mysterious Place

“Damn echidna, greed is the original sin, even God’s servants will be expelled from the kingdom of God after death.”

Walking out of the church, Karl cursed in a low voice, full of resentment. Seeing someone coming towards him, he hurriedly lowered his head and said:

“Merciful Morning Sun…”

The Morning Sun is merciful to believers, so Father Vic gave Karl time to show his ‘piety’.

Thirty gold coins!

This is not a small sum.

The Bergman family does not have a talent for financial management.

On the contrary,

They are very good at squandering.

Grandfather, as a Baron, even sold his territory to maintain his affluent life before his death.

Father brought Karl to Signo City for many years, but he failed to leave behind a property and has been renting in a not-so-prosperous neighborhood.

And in order to become a City Patrol Officer and have a decent job, he almost drained all his savings.

“Sigh!”

Sighing, Karl chose not to take a carriage but walked to the bustling Rue de Rouen.

This is the largest champagne market in the city, and also the largest commodity distribution center for several nearby Marquis territories.

September,

The month of abundance.

If the masters are generous, even serfs will have some spare money, and the market will be even more lively.

Where there are many people, it is naturally not clean.

The streets were overflowing with sewage, garbage was everywhere, various smells mixed together, and hawking sounds were constant.

“Seafood from the Gulf of Puglia, all kinds of fish…”

“Flower cakes with cheese spread on soft bread, six pence a piece, a favorite for the elderly and children.”

“Fresh vegetables and fruits, cheap and affordable.”

“Bordeaux wine, essential for noble banquets, a taste you will never forget.”

✿✿✿

Karl carefully avoided the crowd, his eyes vigilantly scanning his surroundings, and he kept his pockets tightly covered along the way.

There is no shortage of thieves here.

Especially someone like him, dressed brightly but without any attendants, is the perfect target for those people.

It was not until he came to a familiar shop that he slightly relaxed his vigilance.

“Udil, is your father not here?”

“He went to purchase goods.”

Udil is a young man of fifteen or sixteen, with dark skin and a shy manner of speaking.

“Give me a barrel of milk.” Karl pointed with his hand, thought for a moment, and added:

“The cheapest kind.”

“Huh?”

Udil was stunned for a moment and said:

“Mr. Karl, this kind of milk is not drinkable, well…, of course, some people do drink it.”

In difficult circumstances, even sewage can be swallowed, and inferior milk can certainly be drunk.

But this kind of milk is obviously not suitable for the status of the guest in front of him.

“I know.”

Karl smiled:

“Also, give me ten pounds of cured meat strips, the cheapest kind too.”

“This…” Udil shrugged:

“Alright.”

“A total of two crowns and three pence.”

Crowns were called silver coins a few decades ago, but they are not made of pure silver.

One crown is equivalent to twelve pence.

One pound is equal to ten crowns.

Pounds are also called gold pounds, and they contain a certain proportion of gold.

This is a commonly used trading currency, and there is another less commonly used currency above the pound.

Gold coin!

A currency made of pure gold, with the head of the first king of the Gando Kingdom on it. In addition to being used to purchase goods, it also has great collection value.

One gold coin is equivalent to ten pounds.

The salary of City Patrol Officer Karl is settled every half month, and he can earn more than twenty pounds a month.

That is a little more than two gold coins.

So thirty gold coins don’t seem like much.

But he still has to spend.

The former ‘Karl’ did not have the habit of saving, and his monthly income was often not enough to cover his expenses, so he needed his father’s occasional subsidies.

✿✿✿

Currently, all his savings are just over one gold coin, so thirty gold coins are undoubtedly a huge sum for him.

…………

He ate something on the road to fill his stomach. When he returned to his residence, Mrs. Mary had already gone to work. She worked as a long-term employee at a bakery.

Jenny was practicing her singing.

Her voice is very special, like the sound of a lark outside the window. This is a rare talent.

If she passes the test of the Barrow Singing Troupe after a while, Jenny’s future will be different.

A singer,

In this era where there are no schools and civilians cannot receive education, is someone who can transcend class.

For this reason, Mrs. Mary asked Jenny to stop everything she was doing and concentrate on practicing singing at home.

Karl listened attentively for a moment, using the music to soothe his restless mood before slowing down and returning to his room.

“Thirty gold coins!”

Putting down the milk and cured meat, he pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and took down the broadsword hanging on the wall.

This is a knight’s broadsword.

It can be held with one hand, or swung with both hands.

The wide blade gleamed with a cold light, and it whistled through the air when swung, clearly not just a decorative piece.

The weight of nearly three kilograms seems ordinary, but it is definitely not easy to wield it for a long time.

Generally speaking, only knight squires who have undergone rigorous training have this strength.

“Ha!”

Karl shouted in a low voice, holding the sword with both hands and slashing forward. The blade stopped steadily when it was a foot from the ground.

Vertical slash!

A simple move, but it shows his solid foundation.

The Bergman family rose to prominence through military exploits, and the Gale Swordsmanship passed down is a knight-level sword technique, with remarkable power.

Unfortunately,

Grandfather was illiterate. Although he became a Baron, he did not receive the breathing technique that could activate the Life Seed and allow the body to evolve. Otherwise, Karl would have already been a knight squire.

Perhaps,

There is still a chance to become a knight!

In this world, knights have power far beyond ordinary people, as well as status.

After practicing swordsmanship for a while in close-fitting soft armor, Karl stopped when sweat appeared on his forehead, his face full of ruthlessness:

“If I’m pushed to the limit, I can do anything.”

With that said, he hugged the broadsword, held the milk and cured meat in his hands, closed his eyes, and lay down on the bed.

If he was pushed to the limit, he probably wouldn’t be able to rob someone on the street, but there might be other ways to obtain thirty gold coins in a short time besides being a robber.

He could also…

Transmigrate!

With a faint halo flashing, Karl opened his eyes again and appeared in a wondrous place.

Endless stars floated around him, and beneath him was a stone seat carved with ancient patterns, full of mystery.

The broadsword was still in his arms, and the milk and cured meat were still in his hands.

But the environment,

Had changed dramatically!

It was as if he had come to the outer space, or as if he was sitting on the throne of a god, overlooking endless stars.

Not only had the environment changed, but the moment he appeared here, his anxiety, worry, and excitement were all suppressed by absolute rationality.

At this moment, Karl’s expression was solemn and indifferent, his brown eyes calm, every thought under control.

At this moment.

He was like a ‘god’!

“Swish!”

The broadsword slashed out again.

The same vertical slash, this time obviously more stable, the strength, speed, and precision had already reached the level of a knight squire.

‘As expected…’

‘When I come here, I have absolute rationality, and even my ability to control my body has improved to a certain extent.’

‘Where is this place?’

After pondering for a moment, Karl, who couldn’t find the answer, stepped forward. As he took a step, the scene in front of him changed again.

Transmigration!

That’s right.

Karl is not only a transmigrator, but he can also use that mysterious place to come to another world.
