Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 89

Chapter 89: Advancing to Grand Knight

“Boom!”

The Frenzy Potion that had entered his stomach was like a bomb, exploding within him and igniting his body’s potential.

Instantly.

Karl felt a switch flip in his body, and his life force surged uncontrollably.

“Thump… Thump…”

His heart beat powerfully, and streams of blood containing life force surged through his body.

His internal organs also seemed to come alive, frantically devouring everything.

Hungry!

So hungry!

“Click!”

Karl opened the prepared wooden box, grabbed a handful of high-quality Beast Pills, and stuffed them into his mouth without looking.

The medicinal power that usually required slow digestion and gradual absorption was now being rapidly refined by his body.

Feelings of anger and irritability surged into his mind, and a desire to destroy everything arose within him.

No wonder it’s called a Frenzy Potion.

At the same time.

After taking it, his life force became extremely high, and even some of the capillaries were widened by the impact.

Explosive power, recovery ability…

At this moment, they surged!

In just a few breaths, Karl had actually crossed into the realm of a Grand Knight.

At least for this moment, his strength was no less than that of a Grand Knight.

But this was only the push of the potion. If he couldn’t stabilize his realm, it would instead cause serious damage to his body.

“Hoo…”

Karl exhaled a long breath of turbid air and silently circulated the Giant Spirit Breathing Technique.

Being in the Divine Domain Fragment, he had absolute control over his body.

“Hoo…”

“Inhale…”

“Hoo!”

With the orderly breathing, the agitated medicinal power in his body began to calm down, and the frenzied life force was also brought under control.

And the broken limits and opened blood vessels were also slowly beginning to adapt.

His emotions also became stable.

“Thump!”

“Thump!”

His heart beat powerfully.

It was like a high-pressure water pump, its pressure-bearing capacity became stronger, and its conversion efficiency became even more terrifying.

With each beat,

a fresh life force emerged.

And this life force, as it flowed through his blood to his whole body, also caused changes in various parts of his body.

His muscles became stronger, his bones became more compact…

His body,

was like being renewed, growing stronger.

A Knight meant that a Life Seed had condensed within the body, and a Grand Knight meant that the Life Seed had begun to take root and sprout.

It was no longer limited to the heart but emerged in various organs, thus promoting the overall evolution of the body.

The respiratory system, digestive system, immune system, nervous system…

Were all becoming more powerful.

“Swish!”

Karl opened his eyes, and his pupils seemed to contain two sharp rays of light, illuminating his surroundings.

The stable life force within his body proved…

He had succeeded!

Grand Knight!

Perhaps it was because he had accumulated enough, or perhaps it was the Divine Domain Fragment’s control over his physical body, but this breakthrough was very smooth.

It was like water flowing into a channel, natural and effortless.

In the following time, Karl adapted to the Grand Knight realm while also busying himself with refining potions and cultivating his meditation techniques and breathing techniques.

He used his free time to study wizardry knowledge.

A month later.

“I’ve finally stabilized.”

Feeling the aura within his body, Karl waved his hand and summoned the status panel.

Name: Karl

Physique: 3.6

Mental Power: 2.4

Source Essence: 0

Profession: Grand Knight, Intermediate Wizard Apprentice

After advancing to Grand Knight, in just one month, his physique had climbed from less than three points to 3.6, and even his mental power had increased to a certain extent.

“A physique of 3.6 shouldn’t be considered low for the Grand Knight realm, after all, the Giant Spirit Breathing Technique has a very high bonus to physique.”

Karl pondered:

“According to my previous estimates, the physique boundary between a Knight and a Grand Knight should be around 3 points.”

“A physique of 3.6, is that in the middle tier among Grand Knights?”

“At the very least, it’s in the middle to lower tier!”

“Then…”

“Bang!”

His body swayed, and suddenly, he transformed into a gigantic figure over four meters tall, almost five meters tall.

Secret Technique ━ Gigantism!

Physique: 4.8

Height: 4.8 meters.

With a height of nearly five meters, he was like a two-story giant, and a wave of his hand could create a hurricane on the ground.

This change was not just an increase in value by one, but an enhancement in all aspects.

Even a Grand Knight with a physique over 5 could not directly compete with this giant. It was like a leopard and an elephant. Perhaps the leopard had a higher muscle density, but it couldn’t withstand the difference in size between the two.

…………

Hilltop Cottage.

Several people were sitting around a long table covered with an exquisite embroidered cloth.

Various silver cutlery and fine porcelain were placed on the table, and a few swaying candles were dotted around, adding a touch of softness to the gathering.

For today’s gathering, Sybil had changed into a luxurious formal dress and put on light makeup.

After a few glasses of wine, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, revealing a rare touch of charm.

“Mordecai is already a Senior Wizard Apprentice.”

She murmured, her eyes glazed:

“So fast!”

“Yes.” Lawson nodded:

“I originally thought he would need two or three years of accumulation, I didn’t expect him to break through so quickly.”

“Second-level Wizard Talent…”

“It’s really enviable!”

“You can still envy him.” His younger sister, Hetty, rolled her eyes and placed a few plates of snacks on the table:

“Those of us with fourth-level Wizard Talent can only look up to him. We’d never even think of comparing ourselves to him in this lifetime.”

“Karl.”

She greeted him warmly:

“It’s your first time visiting the Hilltop Cottage as a guest, don’t be shy, how about trying the snacks I made?”

The aroma of cream mixed with green grass made one’s taste buds tingle, and the sliced fruit on top was even more pleasing to the eye.

Karl picked up a piece and tasted it, nodding in satisfaction:

“Not bad!”

“I didn’t expect Hetty to be such a skilled baker. It seems I’ll have to visit often in the future, otherwise I won’t be able to taste such delicious food.”

“Hehe…” Hetty’s eyes curved with pleasure as she laughed:

“I’m glad you like it, you’re welcome to visit often.”

“Eat more!”

Seemingly disliking the enthusiasm between the two, Sybil subconsciously pouted and changed the topic:

“Have you heard? Colon has occupied several more cities of Gando. The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for Gando.”

“It is said…”

“The Black Swamp will also be affected. Will we have to fight against Colon’s wizards then?”

“Sybil, your information is outdated.” Lawson shook his head with a smile:

“Just a few days ago, Colon’s front line collapsed, and two Legendary Knights were surrounded and killed on the battlefield.”

“It’s unlikely there will be another attack in the short term.”

“How could that be?” Sybil looked surprised:

“Does the Kingdom of Gando have such capable generals?”

Karl also looked up, his eyes showing surprise. After all, the corruption of the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Gando was well known.

Several Dukes had died or been injured, the number of Legendary Knights had sharply decreased, and under these circumstances, there was actually someone who could turn the tide?

“It’s not someone from Gando.” Lawson shook his head:

“Nor is it someone from the Kingdom of Sark, it’s Tucker.”

“Thunder Spear Tucker, the Black Armored Army he leads suddenly counterattacked, causing a major rout on Colon’s side.”

“Huh?” Sybil was stunned:

“Isn’t he Colon’s vanguard general?”

“He was.” Lawson said:

“That was in the past. He is now the husband of Princess Duna of the Kingdom of Sark, and he has also advanced to become a Legendary Knight.”

Ah?

Sybil blinked.

Karl was also surprised.

“Heh…” Sybil quickly recovered and sneered:

“So, he betrayed Colon this time, defected to Sark again, and plotted to kill two of Colon’s Legendary Knights.”

“That’s right.” Lawson nodded:

“Because of this achievement, Tucker was awarded the title of Marquis of the Kingdom of Sark and was exempted from his former wanted status.”

“Hmm…”

“It is said that he killed two Legendary Knights head-on on the battlefield, so his strength should be very high.”

Legendary Knight!

They are usually on par with Formal Wizards.

Of course.

Just like how a Grand Knight is no match for a Senior Wizard Apprentice, a Legendary Knight is generally not a match for a wizard.

“Look!”

Sybil glanced at Karl:

“I told you, as long as he is given enough benefits, this Thunder Spear would even betray the gods.”

“Marquis…”

“It seems that the Kingdom of Sark doesn’t like him either.”

Killing two of the enemy’s Legendary Knights in one go, and marrying a princess, he should have been made a Duke.

Being made a Marquis,

it was clear that the people of the Kingdom of Sark also despised Thunder Spear Tucker’s character.

“This matter has nothing to do with us.”

Hetty waved her hand:

“Why are we talking about it?”

Like normal women, Hetty didn’t like politics, and she wasn’t interested in the front-line situation of the war between the countries.

As long as it didn’t affect her doorstep, she wouldn’t care.

“Oh, right!”

She looked sideways and asked:

“Karl, you’re not in a hurry to use the gold coins you have on hand, are you?”

“Gold coins?” Karl nodded:

“I don’t need them for the time being.”

In the Swamp Alliance, transactions were mainly done with points and Magic Stones. He rarely went out and didn’t use gold coins much.

“Then how about lending them to me?” Hetty’s eyes lit up, and she said:

“I plan to do some investment business, and I’ll give you 20% interest every year, with a lump sum payment at the end of the year.”

“If you reinvest, you can compound the interest.”

Twenty percent?

Lend one hundred and get back one hundred and twenty, and with compounding interest, that was quite high interest.

“Hetty.”

Sybil pressed Karl’s arm, stopping him from responding impulsively, and asked:

“What do you plan to do?”

“This…” Hetty’s eyes flickered:

“Some things, it’s not convenient to say.”

“Is it purchasing land?” Sybil smiled:

“As more and more Wizard Apprentices join the Swamp Alliance, the land outside will become more and more valuable.”

“Now is indeed the best time to make a move.”

Karl understood.

The Black Swamp used to be a forbidden zone, a human restricted area, with no trace of human habitation for dozens of miles around its edges.

But now it was different.

Although most wizards lived in seclusion, they couldn’t completely detach themselves from ordinary people and become true hermits.

All kinds of supplies and food came from human society.

Just like Adolf.

He was already considered to be someone who didn’t care much about external things, but his manor still had many servants and knight guards.

Other wizard apprentices had even more ordinary people around them.

These people couldn’t live in the Black Swamp for long, so they built a settlement outside, and it was getting bigger and bigger.

It was said that,

some people were already discussing turning the settlement into a city.

If this was true, then buying land now would undoubtedly be a very profitable business.

Unlike the Swamp Alliance, ordinary people mainly used gold coins for large transactions.

Moreover, because it was located in the Black Swamp, resources were scarce and prices were very expensive, almost ten times that of Signo City.

Like the snacks on the table, they were worth several gold coins.

“That’s right!”

After Sybil had seen through her, Hetty could only shrug:

“Do you want to do it together?”

With only a fourth-level Wizard Talent, she had already given up on making much progress on the path of wizardry.

She turned to researching food and how to make money.

“Do it together?”

Sybil looked pensive.

She had this idea, but she didn’t have the time, and Karl had a low talent but didn’t plan to give up cultivation.

“I have a question.” Karl raised his hand:

“How are gold coins and Magic Stones exchanged?”

“There is no dedicated channel for exchanging gold coins and Magic Stones. The market price fluctuates greatly. Currently, it’s about 200 gold coins for one Magic Stone.” Hetty was very familiar with this, and said:

“Don’t underestimate ordinary people, especially some Knights and Grand Knights. They also have quite a few Magic Stones.”

“Hmm…”

“If you don’t have the time, you can invest in speculating on land, and I’ll charge a certain fee.”

Invest?

Karl was a little tempted.

He was currently relying entirely on potions for his cultivation, and the Magic Stones left by Adolf were not enough to spend. He was in desperate need of a way to make money.

The Other World,

Free Port.

Like the Dragon King Trading Company, the Sickle Brotherhood also had a cargo yard specifically for storing seafood.

“Mr. Karl, this way please!”

A burly woman with a scar on her face, Jacqueline, led the way.

Although Karl had not been able to join the Sickle Brotherhood as he had wished, the connection between the two had not been severed.

They still maintained a good relationship.

“No matter what kind of Legendary Creature it is, they are very difficult to capture. Even large trading caravans will not actively provoke them.”

“This time the opportunity was rare, and we encountered a Transforming Serpent.”

Jacqueline pushed open a wooden door and gestured inside:

“Please take a look.”

This was a spacious courtyard. There was nothing else in the courtyard, only a large snake coiled up.

The snake’s body was as thick as two people embracing, and about thirty to forty meters long. Even with its body coiled, it occupied the entire courtyard.

It was like a mountain!

Even though it no longer had any life force, it still gave off a suffocating sense of pressure.

“Transforming Serpent?”

Karl’s eyes flickered, and he stepped closer:

“Is it the giant sea snake that can turn people to stone?”

“Yes.” Jacqueline introduced:

“Young Transforming Serpents are five to ten meters long. This Transforming Serpent is clearly an adult. It is said that they have the bloodline of ancient flying dragons in their bodies. When they evolve to a certain degree, they can grow wings and break free from the shackles of the Endless Sea.”

Karl nodded slowly.

The Transforming Serpent’s body was as hard as stone, its skin was brownish-yellow, and on closer inspection, it looked like large fish scales covering its entire body.

“This thing is terrifying!”

Jacqueline’s voice was still tinged with fear:

“Its eyes can shoot out a light that can turn metal to stone. A single sweep of its gaze can kill an entire ship of people.”

“Moreover, a mist permeates its body. Anything alive that gets close will slowly be turned to stone.”

“Its skin is so hard that it is not afraid of swords. Even a Grand Knight can’t withstand a few blows in front of it. In a head-on fight, even a Legendary Knight is no match for it.”

“Oh!” Karl looked surprised:

“So powerful, how did you capture it?”

“Hehe…” Jacqueline scratched her head and chuckled:

“This thing has a fatal weakness, which is that it’s afraid of mirrors. Mirrors can reflect the light from its eyes. As long as you seize the opportunity, even an entire ship of ordinary people has a chance to capture it.”

It could be like that?

Karl raised an eyebrow and reached out to gently stroke the snake’s body.

Analysis Technique!

In an instant, complex muscle textures and skeletal structures were reflected in his perception, causing his breathing to quicken.

Legendary Creature!

A true transcendent being!

Unlike other magical creatures, every part of this Transforming Serpent’s body contained mysteries.

The whole thing formed a special, perfect cycle.

If he could analyze this corpse and then modify himself, Karl could become a First-Circle Bloodline Wizard.

In the Kingdom of Gando, even a Formal Wizard might never see a Legendary Creature in their lifetime.

Let alone possess one.

And here!

Every year, there were Legendary Creatures that were captured. As long as he analyzed one, he could become a Formal Wizard.

With such a unique advantage, it would be unforgivable not to walk the path of a Bloodline Wizard.

You had to know.

The only difficulty for a Bloodline Wizard was analyzing Legendary Creatures. If the conditions were met, the probability of breaking through was extremely high.

“Hoo…”

Taking a deep breath, Karl asked slowly:

“How much does it cost?”

“It’s not cheap.” Jacqueline smiled:

“For the eyes, 50,000 God’s Grace Coins each. For the snake’s body, 2,000 God’s Grace Coins per meter. For the bones, 1,000 God’s Grace Coins per section. For the scales, 300 God’s Grace Coins each. For the snake’s blood, 200 God’s Grace Coins per liter.”

“If you buy the whole thing, I can give you a discount, 250,000 God’s Grace Coins!”

?

“How much?”

“250,000 God’s Grace Coins!”

“…”

Karl sighed and slowly withdrew his hand.

Not to mention 250,000 God’s Grace Coins, even 25,000 God’s Grace Coins would empty his coffers.

Fortunately, there was no rush.

He was still far from the time to break through to Formal Wizard, so he didn’t need to buy a complete Legendary Creature.

“Except for the snake eyes, give me one of everything else.”

“Okay!”

Jacqueline nodded.

…………

Divine Domain Fragment.

A huge jade wall stood in the center, surrounded by snake meat, snake bones, snake scales, and snake blood.

Karl, holding a dissection tool and assisted by wizardry, was analyzing the Transforming Serpent’s body.

Snake,

a reptile.

Its body is divided into three parts: the head, torso, and tail.

Its mouth can open wide, its tongue is forked, and it is highly retractable. It can achieve rapid movement through the contraction of the muscles in its abdomen and its own curves.

It has scaly bones, wing bones, palatal bones, transverse bones, and other bones…

“The skin, bones, muscles, respiratory system, digestive system, circulatory system, nervous system… are not much different from ordinary snakes, but if you look at the strength, they are almost not the same species.”

Karl put down the dissection tool, turned around, and wrote and drew on the jade wall, recording the analysis one by one.

“The Transforming Serpent has the ability to turn everything to stone. This function is similar to a poisonous snake. Poisonous snakes have venom sacs that secrete venom, and the Transforming Serpent also has a venom sac, but it secretes a mist that turns things to stone, which can exist for a long time.”

“The strength of the body is related to its transcendent traits…”

“Petrification!”

“It’s similar to the petrification spell model of a gargoyle. It’s much easier to deduce and analyze.”

To become a qualified Bloodline Wizard, one must be very familiar with the structure of various creatures.

The process of analysis and experimentation was even more essential.

The reason why Roberta was able to initially cultivate a gargoyle was because she had a lot of experience in raising Spider Women.

Of course.

The number of lives lost in her hands was even greater!

“Buzz…”

The jade wall glowed slightly, and Karl stopped what he was doing and looked at the spell model that had appeared on it.

Or rather,

a fragment of a spell model!

To completely analyze the Transforming Serpent, he must have a complete body and also conduct various experiments.

What he had now was just to accumulate experience, and when the time came, he could quickly get started.

“No rush!”

Karl whispered:

“Even with the help of potions for cultivation, it will take one or two years to reach the Senior Wizard Apprentice level, let alone to perfect the realm?”

“Without three to five years, or even ten years, it’s simply impossible.”

“During this time, I’ll accumulate experience and gather God’s Grace Coins. When the time comes, my mental power will be sufficient, and I’ll have enough money.”

“Then I’ll break through in one go!”

…………

“Clang!”

“Clang…”

Karl, with his upper body bare, held a giant hammer, swung his arms, and slammed it heavily onto the iron plate in front of him.

“Clang…”

Sparks flew everywhere.

“Sizzle!”

The red-hot steel was submerged in water, and immediately, thick white smoke billowed out, obscuring Karl’s flushed skin.

He didn’t know how long it had been.

Karl threw the hammered sword blank at his feet and picked up a water jug from the side, gulping down the water.

“Glug glug…”

A large jug of water was emptied in the blink of an eye.

“Ah! That’s refreshing!”

Leaving the Divine Domain Fragment and coming downstairs, Sybil was sitting with her legs crossed, sipping her tea.

Looking at Karl with his upper body bare, the outline of his strong muscles made her eyes light up, and she licked her lips:

“Knights are actually somewhat useful, at least they have a good figure.”

“Did you bring the things?” Karl ignored her teasing and put on a robe.

“I brought them.” Sybil pointed to the basket beside her, which was filled with various potions, and asked curiously:

“What are you going to do with these potions?”

These potions were all ordinary potions, and they were useless for Wizard Apprentices.

“I have my uses.” Karl picked up the basket, checked the bottles one by one, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face:

“Not bad, they all meet the requirements.”

He had been too busy lately, with breathing techniques, meditation techniques, refining, and analyzing the Transforming Serpent… He didn’t have much time to refine potions.

So he outsourced it to her.

“Of course.” Sybil said confidently:

“My potion talent has been praised by my mentor. If you want to do a potion business for ordinary people, you can find a proxy.”

“Old Harry is not bad!”

Wizards possessed various mysterious methods and could refine many things that ordinary people would find inconceivable.

To trade these things, they needed corresponding merchants.

Wizards usually wouldn’t come forward personally. Firstly, their time was precious, and secondly, they thought it was demeaning.

Proxies,

arose in response to this.

“I’ll consider it.” Karl nodded:

“Wait a moment.”

Turning around, he went back into the room and took something out, handing it to Sybil:

“Here!”

“A petrification ring, it can release a petrification light, with power similar to an Intermediate Wizard Apprentice, but it can only be used ten times. After ten times, it will be scrapped. This is your payment for one month’s worth of potions.”

“I didn’t expect…” Sybil took it in surprise, gently stroking the ring on her hand:

“You’ve really become an Alchemic Wizard!”

Alchemic Wizard,

A wizard who was skilled at refining various magic items.

Before, when Karl was reading books about refining, Sybil had criticized him for being too distracted, but she didn’t expect that he could now refine magic items.

“That…”

Licking her lips, Sybil said slowly:

“I heard that you’ve been using Magic Stones to buy potions?”

“Yes.” Karl sighed:

“Potions are too expensive. Without potion assistance, my cultivation is too slow. My mentor’s legacy is almost gone.”

“Actually, it’s not cost-effective to buy potions with Magic Stones.” Sybil said:

“I have points, and it’s more cost-effective to exchange points for potions. You can give me the Magic Stones, and I’ll help you exchange them for potions.”

“Hmm…”

“If you don’t have enough Magic Stones, magic items will also do!”

Having an Alchemic Wizard by her side, she didn’t mind being a middleman to earn the price difference.

“Like that…” Karl stroked his chin:

“I’ll consider it, it’s not impossible!”

However, some things on him were not for public viewing. After sending Sybil away, he still had to make a trip himself.

Please collect!!!
