Chapter 239: Visiting
Dream Market.
The once bustling and crowded market is now empty and desolate.
“Tap…”
The crisp sound of footsteps pierces through the thick fog, and a figure slowly walks towards the wizard tower.
“You’ve come.”
Karl opened his eyes, looked at the ‘Rebel’, and shook his head:
“A puppet?”
“Heh… you don’t even dare to come in person, it seems you’re afraid of catching the trouble I’m carrying.”
“That’s normal.” The visitor said:
“The Baden you killed was a core member of the Green Family, no one in the Magic Forest dares to protect you.”
“Not even you?”
“No!”
Karl sighed.
“No wonder you’ve been in the shadows for so many years, you can’t even handle such a small matter, what kind of rebel organization are you?”
He knew he had caused a big trouble this time, and after thinking about it, he could only try to find the rebel organization to see if they could provide help.
Unfortunately.
Even the rebel organization didn’t want to get involved in this kind of trouble.
“…” The visitor was speechless:
“With the four major forces of the Kalim Continent pressing down, it’s already difficult enough for us to survive.”
“As for the Green Family…”
“That family should have a Fifth-Circle Wizard!”
Fifth Circle!
Analogous to a deity, that’s a Middle God.
Moreover, wizards have more varied methods than deities, and with wizard towers and demi-planes, they would be fine as long as they weren’t trapped in an Upper God’s divine domain.
In the vast Magic Forest, let alone a Fifth-Circle Wizard, even a Fourth-Circle Wizard hadn’t been born for tens of thousands of years.
“Forget it!” Karl sighed softly:
“Can you help take care of the others?”
“Don’t worry.” The visitor said:
“Angley has already joined us, Harvey and his wife have also been protected by the organization, Old Brin took Evangeline to the border, we can’t find out exactly where they’re hiding, so they should be safe.”
Karl breathed a sigh of relief.
“Don’t contact me again in the future.” Looking at Karl, the visitor slowly retreated and disappeared into the fog:
“Even if you contact me, I won’t respond, unless you can escape this calamity, and finally…”
“Good luck!”

Baden sat down on a chair with a cold face.
There were many people in the room, but not a single one made a sound, not even breathing, for fear of breaking the silence.
But this dead silence would always be broken.
“Hmph!”
Scanning the room, Baden snorted:
“Isn’t there anyone who wants to say something?”
“Or is it that even now, my nephew’s death is still unclear, and no one has investigated anything?”
He had just come out of seclusion when he heard the news of his nephew’s death, and for a moment, his face was full of confusion and disbelief.
Baden is dead?
Dead in a barren place like the Magic Forest?
“Senior.” A person stood up with trembling legs:
“According to our investigation, the one who… killed Young Master Baden should be Connie, the owner of Dream Market.”
“Should be?”
“It is him!”
“Then…” Baden’s voice was cold:
“Is Connie still in Dream Market?”
“No.” A person below shook his head quickly:
“After Young Master Baden’s accident, we contacted Senior Vulcan of the Six Rings Tower, and he asked two Third-Circle Wizards to come and investigate, and they used secret techniques to lock onto the killer.”
“A few days ago, the fog that shrouded Dream Market began to shrink, and when we arrived, there was no one there.”
“No one?” Baden’s voice rose slightly:
“Can’t find him?”
“Yes.” The person answering nodded:
“We tried all kinds of tracking methods, but we couldn’t find Connie, including… the method you mentioned.”
“Hmm…” Baden narrowed his eyes, and deep in his pupils, faint shadows flickered, like a huge turntable.
A Pseudo Fourth-Order magic item—the Wheel of Fate!
This magic item could find everything the controller wanted, with just a thought, it could point out the approximate location.
Combined with the Green Family’s methods, it was enough to lock onto the killer.
After a moment.
Nothing!
The pointer on the wheel turned back and forth, never stopping, which meant that the other party had avoided the secret technique tracking by some means.
If the target was dead, the pointer wouldn’t react.
The core members of the Green Family’s bloodline all had special marks on their bodies.
Once killed, the killer would be stained with the mark, and even if they escaped to a demi-plane, they could be tracked.
But now,
The Wheel of Fate couldn’t track the person?
“No wonder he dared to attack Baden.”
Biting his teeth, Baden said in a low voice:
“Bring me the investigation data related to Baden and Dream Market from this period, I want to see it.”
“Yes.”
Someone responded and brought up stacks of documents.
Baden quickly flipped through the documents, his gaze lingering on one page, and he looked up at the others.
“Mick?”
“Barrier Master Mick, he has a secret technique to conceal his aura, Young Master Baden originally planned to have him lure Connie out of Dream Market, but that person didn’t take the bait, we investigated him, there’s no problem.”
“Is that so?” Baden closed the documents:
“Where is he?”
…………
There weren’t many Barrier Masters in the Magic Forest, and Second-Order Barrier Masters were even rarer.
Mick was able to become a Second-Order Barrier Master not only because of his talent, but also because of his lifespan.
***
Having entered the wizarding world through bloodline magic, he had a chance encounter with a rather special bloodline.
Although he was still a First-Circle Wizard, his lifespan was over four hundred years.
After spending more than two hundred years, he finally advanced from a First-Order Barrier Master to a Second-Order one, and became famous.
At this moment, he was introducing his research results to a guest.
“Mr. Du.”
Mick pointed to a huge corpse in the laboratory and said:
“My research is mainly focused on the physical body, using the body as a barrier, isolating the inside and outside, ultimately making it impenetrable.”
“This flesh fetus is pieced together from twenty-seven dissected bodies, and it has more than ten kinds of barriers on it. The combination of these ten kinds of barriers is a large Second-Order barrier, which can be used to explore most demi-planes.”
“Amazing!” ‘Mr. Du’ stroked his beard and nodded in admiration:
“As expected of the top Barrier Master in the Magic Forest, Wizard Mick’s methods are truly… eye-opening.”
“Hmm…”
“Are these bodies alive?”
“Yes!” Mick nodded:
“Only living people can refine my secret barrier, after a person dies, their body becomes stiff, and there’s no way to form a barrier.”
“But Mr. Du, rest assured, their original consciousness has been erased by me, and I’ve implanted specific programs, they are only responsible for maintaining the operation of the barrier.”
“Good methods!” ‘Mr. Du’ applauded and looked at the maid who brought the coffee, his eyes flickering slightly:
“Is she also one of Wizard Mick’s ‘materials’?”
“That’s right!” Mick nodded, spreading his hands, and said proudly:
“All the living people in the manor are my research materials, I bought them from human traffickers.”
“Ordinary people are fine, but you know, sometimes you need people with wizarding talent, so some materials are more expensive.”
He seemed to be used to using living people for experiments, but the maid who brought the coffee had a pale face.
“Hmm.” ‘Mr. Du’ said expressionlessly:
“I heard that Wizard Mick is researching the people of Colon?”
“Yes.” Mick’s eyes lit up:
“Mr. Du’s method of the Life Pill has been very inspiring to me, I wonder if the subsequent content can…”
“Don’t rush.” ‘Mr. Du’ smiled:
“I want to ask Mr. Mick to deal with a barrier, but I need to go out, I wonder if you have the time?”
“This…” Mick hesitated.
He had received a warning from the Green Family, telling him not to leave the manor during this period, and that the wizard tower must be in operation at all times.
Because he had to guard against a certain evil star.
But the ‘Life Pill’ method that the other party mentioned was very inspiring to him, and it was very likely to help him advance further.
Just then.
“Buzz…”
The wizard tower sent out a warning, and began to operate on its own.
“It’s me.”
A cold voice sounded from high above:
“Stop the wizard tower.”
“Senior Baden!” Mick’s eyes lit up, and he quickly stopped the operation of the wizard tower, and looked up at the sky in the courtyard:
“Why have you come?”
Baden stood with his hands behind his back, slowly floating down from mid-air, his gaze swept past Mick, and he glanced at ‘Mr. Du’ behind him.
He casually asked:
“Has anyone from Dream Market contacted you recently?”
“No.”
Mick bowed and replied:
“Since receiving the news, I haven’t left the manor, and no one has contacted me during this period.”
“Hmm.” Baden nodded:
“Who is he?”
“This is Mr. Du.” Mick quickly introduced:
“Mr. Du is a wizard with a deep understanding of the School of Life, his method of the Life Pill is unparalleled…”
“This is Senior Baden of the Green Family.”
“Senior Baden!” ‘Mr. Du’ looked excited and quickly stepped forward to pay his respects, and then said to the back:
“Wizard Mick, since you have a distinguished guest today, I won’t disturb you, I’ll come back to visit in a couple of days.”
“This…” Mick looked reluctant, and seeing that Baden remained silent with a cold face, he could only nod helplessly:
“Mr. Du, you must come!”
“I will.”
Mr. Du responded and cupped his hands to say goodbye.
Just as he was about to leave the manor, Baden, who had been silent all along, suddenly frowned.
“Wait!”
Baden raised his hand, and Mr. Du’s body immediately froze in place.
He looked at Mr. Du and said slowly:
“Come back, let me take a closer look.”
“This…”
‘Mr. Du’ slowly turned around, his face looking ugly:
“What does Senior want to see?”
“Your face.” Baden narrowed his eyes and walked towards Mr. Du, his gaze sweeping over his face:
“It seems like it’s been tampered with?”
“Yes.” Mr. Du said in a low voice:
“I have also cultivated bloodline magic, so I modified it a little…”
“Swish!”
Before he could finish speaking, dozens of tentacles suddenly shot out, heading straight for Baden and Mick.
