Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Life Potion

‘My strength has increased by nearly 20%, the surface of my skin has become firmer, my resistance to blows has increased, my speed has also improved slightly, and my recovery ability after injuries should also be strengthened to a certain extent.’

Karl clenched his fists, silently feeling the changes in his body.

‘Besides that…’

‘Negative emotions such as caution, fear, and worry in my heart have been weakened, and I have become braver.’

All these changes happened in an instant.

So strong!

Is this divine magic?

Although it cannot directly cause damage to the enemy, it can greatly enhance the combat power and fighting spirit of our side.

And it’s not one-on-one, it’s a large-scale blessing.

If used on the battlefield…

Turning the tide of battle would be easy!

Although Karl was surprised by the priest’s methods, he was not astonished.

How could the Church have power that transcends the secular world in this world with supernatural powers just because of that ethereal faith?

Without strong power, it would be impossible.

“Charge!”

As the priest waved his hand, two iron lumps rushed out of the crowd first, crashing into the wall in front.

“Boom!”

The high wall made of bricks and stones was like tofu piled up in front of them, vulnerable.

Instantly.

Two human-shaped holes were opened in the wall.

Knights!

And fully armed knights.

The strength of a formal knight can crush fierce beasts. Their weapons alone weigh dozens of pounds. In the wild, a knight can single-handedly slaughter an entire pack of wolves.

The heavy armor on their bodies can ignore ordinary attacks.

The two rushed into the manor and launched a one-sided massacre in the flames. Wherever they passed, corpses were strewn everywhere.

By the time Karl followed the crowd and rushed in, the fight was almost over, blood was flowing on the ground, and no survivors were seen.

‘They even killed the elderly and children?’

The corpses on the ground made Karl’s heart sink, and he gained a deeper understanding of the Church’s cruel methods.

“Don’t just stand there.”

Dana patted him on the shoulder:

“Go to the next place.”

“Yes.”

Karl came back to his senses and nodded in agreement.

Perhaps because the Church’s power was too strong, today’s operation seemed anticlimactic to him.

Except for some resistance encountered at a manor on the outskirts of the city, other places were almost completely swept away, and almost no decent resistance was encountered.

By evening, it was over.

Suppressing the exhaustion from a day’s running around, Dana straightened her clothes and came to the hall under the guidance of others.

This was the council hall.

The three highest-ranking people in Signo City were the Bishop, the City Lord, and the elder of the Noble Council.

The elder was in poor health and had not participated in council affairs for several years. Most matters were handled by the council leader, Frank.

He was a virtuous elder and viscount, highly respected by the nobles.

“I didn’t expect that the followers of the Evil God Elise would be lurking in the city. Fortunately, you discovered them in time.”

Seeing Dana enter, Frank waved the others to retreat and praised:

“Viscount Saxon should be proud to have a daughter like you.”

“Thank you for your praise, Council Leader.” Dana put her hand on her left chest and bowed, and at the same time asked:

“I wonder if there are any clues about what happened last night?”

“Hmm…” Frank pondered:

“According to the investigation, the ones who killed the followers of the Evil God should be the Fire Thieves. There are obvious traces of flames at the scene.”

“Fire Thieves?”

Dana frowned subconsciously.

“Yes.”

Frank nodded:

“Previously, when you were investigating the Dried Corpse Case, the followers of Elise deliberately led you to a Fire Thieves stronghold, causing the stronghold to be destroyed. This time it should be the Fire Thieves’ revenge.”

“As fellow followers of the Evil God, they don’t get along with each other.”

Dana nodded slowly.

This made sense, but since it was done by the Fire Thieves, why didn’t they kill her as well?

And they even helped her untie the spider silk bindings.

She was the culprit who destroyed the Fire Thieves’ stronghold.

“Council Leader.”

✿✿✿

Dana said:

“According to our investigation, in addition to the people who were killed yesterday, there should be a mastermind behind them.”

“This person has a certain social status and often frequents high-end places. He is the one who selects the targets.”

She continued:

“Today’s operation probably didn’t catch him.”

“Is that so?” Frank stroked his chin and then nodded:

“I understand. Someone will continue to investigate this matter. Now let’s talk about your matter.”

“In view of your performance in line with the knight’s principles of upholding justice and protecting the weak, and your courage in the face of death, the council has decided to reward you with a Life Potion.”

He took out a bottle of potion from the drawer and handed it over:

“Congratulations!”

“I hope you can truly step into the ranks of knights. The country and the people need people like you to protect them.”

Life Potion!

Dana’s heart was pounding, her hands trembling uncontrollably. She carefully took the potion, and for a moment even forgot the doubts in the case.

“Council Leader, I… I will definitely do it.”

“Hmm.”

Frank nodded with a smile:

“Go on. Take good care of yourself during this time and prepare for taking the potion. I look forward to the day you become a knight.”

“Hmm.”

Dana nodded heavily.

…………

Watching Dana walk out of the hall, the smile on Frank’s face slowly faded, and finally turned iron-blue.

He turned and walked into the side hall.

Someone was already waiting there.

“You gave our enemy the Life Potion.” Seeing him enter, the person waiting in the hall said in a muffled voice:

“This may become a weapon to kill us.”

“Humph!”

Frank snorted coldly:

“I’m not the only one who has the say in the approval and distribution of the Life Potion. And if you had been more secretive, it wouldn’t have come to this.”

“Secretive?” The other party sneered:

“Taking the lives of others will please the Mother Goddess, but it is you, not us, who need the Purity Potion.”

“The blood of virgins can keep one young forever. The noble ladies in the city wish we would kill more people. They can pay any price for their faces.”

If Dana heard the conversation between the two, she would be shocked.

The respected Council Leader Frank actually colluded with the followers of the Evil God in secret, and even though he knew what they were doing, he did not stop them but chose to let it go.

“Forget it.”

Waving his hand, the bald man with tattoos said in a muffled voice:

“I want to know who killed Jeff!”

“There are no clues at the moment.” Frank spread his hands:

“Are you sure it wasn’t done by the Fire Thieves?”

“Of course.”

The bald man narrowed his eyes:

“I’m very familiar with them, and if it was really done by them, there’s no reason to let that girl go.”

“Maybe…”

He looked at Frank and said slowly:

“A wizard?”

“Wizard?” Frank’s expression changed. He seemed to be very afraid of these two words and subconsciously shook his head:

“Even the Church can’t restrain them. Don’t expect me to investigate. They are a group of unbelievers.”

“I know.” The bald man asked:

“But you should know something about the wizard apprentices in Signo City, right?”

“…Yes.” Frank hesitated for a moment before nodding:

“I do know some, but it seems that none of them have the ability to release flames.”

“They usually hide their methods.” The bald man was also troubled by wizards. He shook his head and changed the subject:

“The defeat on the front line is a foregone conclusion. You should make a decision too.”

Frank’s face darkened.

Duke of Saxon, who was conquering Coburg, died in battle a few days ago. The front line collapsed, and the enemy’s army was rapidly advancing towards the Kingdom of Gando. This was the latest news from the front line, and it had not yet been announced to the public.

“Signo City is not the front line.”

Frank said:

“We may not necessarily lose.”

“Heh…” The bald man sneered:

“You’d better pray that’s the case.”
