Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 91

Chapter 91: Auction

Dragon King?

Zimmerman is infected with the Water Plague?

Karl stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Although Susan and the others were evasive, the identity of the patient on the bed could be guessed at least seventy to eighty percent.

However,

No knight has ever been infected with the Water Plague in the Free Port, let alone a Peak Grand Knight.

Moreover, Zimmerman’s condition is very special.

So special that Karl has never encountered anything like it!

If the patient really is Zimmerman, then his death will definitely throw the Dragon King Trading Company into chaos.

The Dragon King Trading Company!

Dragon King Zimmerman!

The company is named after his title, which shows how important Zimmerman is to the Dragon King Trading Company.

‘Lula is still too young to handle the big picture, and her mother’s personality is too eccentric to be accepted by the public.’

‘The two vice presidents are even more ambitious.’

‘And the Sea God Society and the Sickle Brotherhood will not just sit by and watch the Dragon King Trading Company reorganize.’

‘Once the news leaks…’

Karl gently shook his head. No wonder there were people watching near his courtyard all the time. It was because they were worried that Zimmerman’s situation would leak out from his mouth.

“Tss…”

A red-hot iron plate was put into the water, and thick smoke billowed out instantly.

“Clang!”

“Clang…”

Karl took out the iron plate, swung the heavy hammer and smashed it, and gradually a brand new sword blank emerged.

He planned to forge another broadsword for himself.

Dual swords,

He was now using them more and more smoothly, and the wizarding materials he had recently obtained happened to be able to be integrated into them.

The Swamp Alliance.

The headquarters.

Karl followed Bunyan, heading towards a dense forest.

This dense forest was growing a special kind of Tung tree. This kind of tree grows extremely fast, often as thick as several people can embrace.

Through the use of wizardry, these trees were even wider than imaginable, like high walls.

Some wizards dug out rooms in the Tung trees and lived in them.

First,

It was close to the headquarters, making it convenient to travel.

Second,

The giant Tung trees, through spellcasting, could be used to set up many wizardry traps, which also ensured safety.

Senior Wizard Apprentice Arthur lived here.

Deep in the dense forest, several giant Tung trees were close to each other, and connected rooms had been carved out.

In the center of the trees, there was also a not-so-small courtyard.

At this time, many people had already arrived in the small courtyard. Karl looked around and sat down next to the Bloodline Wizard Bach.

“Karl.”

Bach sat upright and nodded to indicate:

“It’s been a while since I saw you.”

“I’ve been studying the 《Gump’s Transformation Laws》 you gave me during this time, and also doing some bloodline research.” Karl rubbed his temples, looking tired:

“The path of a Bloodline Wizard is not easy.”

“Of course.” Bach shrugged:

“Our path relies too much on magical creatures and wizardry materials. Some experiments must be done by ourselves, but magical creatures are too rare. If there are not enough magic stones, it’s a dead end.”

“Heh…”

“How many Senior Wizard Apprentices have you seen among the other wizards? How many Senior Wizard Apprentices have you seen among the Bloodline Wizards?”

Karl slowly nodded.

“Speaking of experiments, I have some questions to ask.”

He lowered his voice and discussed the knowledge of Bloodline Wizards with Bach.

At first, Bach just wanted to perfunctorily respond, after all, truly useful knowledge required payment.

The other party had only recently come into contact with the path of Bloodline Wizards, and theoretically was not qualified to communicate with him.

Unexpectedly.

Many of the knowledge that Karl had mastered touched him greatly, and unknowingly, the discussion between the two became more and more in-depth.

Until…

“Clang!”

A crisp and clear bell sound rang.

Senior Wizard Apprentice Arthur, wearing a wizard’s robe and with a wrinkled face, slowly walked out of the room.

He nodded to everyone in the field, squeezing out a smile on his face:

“Sorry to have kept you all waiting, I have cleaned up my things, and now we will officially begin the auction.”

“Hmm…”

“Some items will be traded privately, please forgive me.”

“Senior Arthur.” One person in the crowd spoke:

“Did you really fail to break through?”

“…Yes.” Arthur’s face showed bitterness, and he nodded:

“Becoming a Formal Wizard is far from as simple as imagined. No wonder some friends have lost their lives because of it.”

“I’m fine, at least I’m still alive.”

Karl sat up straight.

Not long ago, Arthur used points to exchange for a Green Potion from the alliance, trying to break through.

Many people were waiting for the result.

Unfortunately.

The breakthrough failed.

Senior Wizard Apprentice Arthur was even seriously injured as a result, and his Sea of Consciousness was unstable. If he didn’t take good care of himself, the consequences would be unpredictable.

And the potions needed for treatment were expensive, so Arthur simply held an auction to deal with his things.

Everyone present had come after hearing the news.

“I’ll give you all a piece of advice.”

Arthur said:

“If you want to become a Formal Wizard, relying solely on the Green Potion, the chances of success are very low.”

“There are too many existences in the Astral Plane that will pollute our spirituality. It’s best to have a Silence Potion to assist.”

The Silence Potion can conceal a creature’s spirituality and prevent it from being polluted, but it is very expensive.

The key is,

It’s said that the effect isn’t that good either.

“Just the Green Potion alone, I don’t know how long it will take to save up for it. Adding a Silence Potion on top of that…” Someone sighed:

“I’m afraid I won’t have any hope in this lifetime!”

“You’re still good, you have a chance to try to break through to the Formal Wizard realm. We who have low talent don’t even dare to think about it.”

“Sometimes, not having a chance can be easier.”

“Yeah!”

“…”

Everyone in the field sighed repeatedly.

Since the establishment of the Swamp Alliance, four Senior Wizard Apprentices have tried to break through to the Formal Wizard realm.

Unfortunately.

None of them succeeded!

The most promising one, Adolf, not only failed, but his head exploded, and he died on the spot.

The success rate,

Was too low!

“Okay.”

Arthur shook the bell again, and had Bunyan take out a few books and place them on the wooden stake in the center, and introduced them:

“The wizardry I practice comes from the wizard Donald, who lived hundreds of years ago. He mainly focused on the School of Gravity and the School of Life…”

“And also potion-making.”

“These few books involve basic knowledge of the School of Gravity. Among them, 《Secrets of the Stars》 was written by Wizard Donald himself. Not to mention the mystical knowledge inside, it also has a certain value just as a collectible.”

“Starting price is five magic stones!”

The School of Gravity does not belong to the School of Nature, but belongs to the School of Stars, but it is very different from stargazing and divination.

This school of wizardry focuses on control, and usually lacks lethality, so wizards of this school will also practice other wizardries.

“Five and a half magic stones!”

“Six magic stones!”

“…”

After all, it was mystical knowledge written by a Formal Wizard himself, and the bidding quickly reached ten magic stones.

But it was difficult to raise the price any further.

In the end, it was sold for eleven and a half magic stones.

“Zero-Circle Spell ━ Blood Summoning, a Life Magic spell that can control the flow of an opponent’s blood, completely suppressing those below the level of a knight. Even a Junior Wizard Apprentice can easily kill several Peak Knight Squires.”

“Starting price is three magic stones.”

Karl’s eyes flickered slightly.

Three magic stones was definitely not expensive, but this spell was useless against knights or Grand Knights with strong physiques.

Or rather, it was not very useful.

Moreover, many wizard apprentices had mastered this spell, so there was no need to compete with others here.

In the end.

It was sold for five magic stones.

Because wizardry can be copied infinitely, unless it is a complete inheritance, it is difficult to sell for a high price.

Magical items are different.

***

Time passed.

Items were auctioned one by one.

Knowledge, books, materials, potions, magical items, and wizardry inheritances, occasionally caused a stir.

Every Senior Wizard Apprentice had accumulated a lot of knowledge and wealth, especially those like Arthur who had lived for seventy or eighty years. Their accumulation was far beyond what young apprentices could compare to.

Karl also obtained two potion recipes, one was the ‘Sturdy Potion’ that increased skin resistance, and the other was the ‘Cold-Resistant Meat Chunk’ that could help people resist the cold.

The total price was six magic stones.

Mainly because there were not many alchemists participating in the auction, and even fewer people were willing to pay to buy the recipes, so not many people were competing with him.

“Mr. Karl.”

Near the end of the auction, Bunyan came to him and whispered:

“Wait a moment, please don’t leave yet.”

Karl nodded.

…………

The oil lamp in the wooden house was lit, the light swaying, and the simple furnishings made the small room feel very cozy.

Arthur leaned on a cane, and with Bunyan’s support, he sat down shakily, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

“Mr. Karl.”

He took a long breath and said slowly:

“Sorry to have kept you waiting.”

“It’s okay.” Karl said:

“Senior Arthur, your condition doesn’t look good.”

Just by holding an auction, the other party seemed to have done strenuous exercise, showing obvious fatigue.

“It’s more than not good?” Arthur smiled bitterly, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, but he shook his head and didn’t say much, and instead said:

“I’m friends with Adolf, and you’re friends with Bunyan, so it wouldn’t hurt to sell some things to you.”

“It’s better than selling to outsiders.”

Karl’s expression became serious.

He had come for this, but the other party was just saying nice things, and the main thing was still the final price.

As the inheritor of Adolf’s estate, an alchemist and rune crafter, Karl could be considered to have some assets.

That was the key reason why he was left behind alone at the end.

“I have two inheritances, one is the School of Gravity’s Gravity Burst, and the other is the School of Life’s Life Plunder.”

Arthur said:

“I’ve already promised to give Life Plunder to an old friend, and I can’t give you the complete inheritance of Gravity Burst either.”

Karl’s expression remained unchanged.

It was customary for this kind of fundamental inheritance not to be passed on to outsiders. Otherwise, the auction would not have a better price.

He didn’t have any extravagant hopes either.

Besides,

He had accumulated some magic stones, but he was still not strong enough to buy a complete inheritance.

“Zero-Circle Spell ━ Gravity Distortion, the price is six magic stones; the magical item ━ Meteorite Orb, which is blessed with the ability to control gravity. The stronger your mental power, the greater the range of influence, the price is twenty magic stones.”

Arthur said:

“A total of twenty-six magic stones, no bargaining!”

As he spoke, he placed a book and a gray stone on the table, signaling Karl to check them.

Twenty-six magic stones?

Karl’s eyes flickered. He first picked up the stone on the table and looked at it. It was a meteorite with magic power, blessed by wizardry.

It was of a very high grade.

At least he couldn’t refine it right now.

Once activated, it could change the magnitude of gravity around the user, increasing or decreasing gravity by a factor of two.

Combined with the Minor Force Field spell, it was even more powerful.

As for Gravity Distortion, it was a type of gravity magic that could pull distant objects closer or repel nearby objects.

If used properly, it could have unexpected uses.

After a moment.

Karl twitched the corner of his mouth with some heartache:

“I’ll buy them!”

Arthur smiled.

“Senior.” While taking out the magic stones to trade, Karl casually asked:

“You’ve seen many patients, so have you ever encountered a situation where a patient’s body has a strange will that distorts the patient’s body and will, and may even pollute those who come into contact with him?”

Dragon King Zimmerman’s body had these symptoms.

“Yes.” Arthur nodded:

“This situation is usually caused by the pollution of the spirit by an Evil God. Unless a deity takes action to purify it, there is no cure.”

“Evil God?” Karl had only asked casually and didn’t expect an answer, but he couldn’t help but be stunned when he heard this:

“Can’t wizards do anything about it?”

“Perhaps Grand Wizards above the third circle can do it, but Second-Circle Wizards definitely can’t.” Arthur shook his head and asked:

“Have you encountered any followers of Evil Gods?”

“Those who are targeted by Evil Gods are beyond saving, and no deity is willing to save the followers of Evil Gods.”

So that’s how it is!

Karl slowly nodded.

In this other world, there were Evil Gods?

Name: Karl

Constitution: 3.8

Mental Power: 2.7

Source Essence: 0

Profession: Grand Knight, Intermediate Wizard Apprentice

“Bang!”

Two broadswords crossed in mid-air, and accompanied by the surging battle aura, the air in front of him suddenly vibrated rapidly.

“Boom!”

The ground and air trembled violently.

***

Even if there was a giant rock in front of him, it would be smashed to pieces by this blow.

Karl held a broadsword in each hand, and the tens of pounds of sword body were swung in his hands like straw.

The extreme speed made the gust of wind around him possess terrifying lethality.

Secret Technique ━ Gigantism!

With a sway of his body, Karl’s size increased explosively, and in an instant he transformed into a burly giant five meters tall.

At the same time.

“Buzz…”

The two broadswords in his hands also grew larger, becoming three-meter-long giant swords that looked like door panels.

With a gentle swing, a hurricane howled.

The broadswords were not just simply turning into giant swords, their weight also increased from tens of pounds to hundreds of pounds.

Two swords were over a thousand pounds!

Such a violation of the law of conservation of energy was naturally due to supernatural power. The two swords were also magical items.

Holding the heavy giant sword, a simple smash could easily collapse a house.

If he was on the battlefield, then his charge would be the nightmare of any opposing force.

Not to mention knights,

Even Grand Knights, I’m afraid not many could withstand a direct confrontation with him.

What’s more…

Around Karl, the influence of the force field and the change in gravity would greatly weaken the methods of those who got close to him.

Even Grand Knights would have their strength restricted.

“Bang!”

The dual swords landed.

Karl’s size also slowly shrank, and the clothes on his body also changed accordingly.

“I finally don’t have to burst my clothes every time.” He put away his broadswords and clenched his hands, muttering:

“The feeling of becoming stronger is really good.”

With sufficient medicine, Karl’s strength was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, with daily improvements.

“One year, no more than three years at most, and I will have enough mental power to construct six Zero-Circle Spells and become a Senior Wizard Apprentice.”

“By then, the flesh and blood modification should be able to proceed simultaneously.”

…………

“Uncle.”

Aya frowned:

“The situation in the city has been a little off lately.”

“Yeah, yeah.” Leon, who was shoveling rice into his mouth, nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and rice grains flew out of his mouth as he spoke:

“I also feel like something is wrong.”

“Finish your meal before you talk. Don’t waste food. Have you forgotten the days when you were hungry?” Aya glared at him, then turned her head to look:

“Uncle, do you know what’s going on?”

“There should be some internal changes within the trading company.” Karl put his hands behind his back and looked into the distance:

“It has nothing to do with us, so don’t worry about it.”

Two days ago, there were still people guarding near the shop, monitoring his every move, but now they were gone.

This showed that Lula no longer cared about Karl leaking the news, and it was highly likely that the news had already leaked.

Judging by the time, that patient should have already passed away.

If it was really Zimmerman, then after not showing up for so long, the people in the trading company would definitely become suspicious.

Even people like Aya could sense that something was wrong, so the trading company’s higher-ups, who were frequently being mobilized, would definitely know more.

“Oh, right!”

Karl asked:

“Has the goods I ordered arrived?”

“The water monkeys have arrived.” Aya replied:

“But the others haven’t. I asked the people at the cargo yard, and they just said they were busy and kept making excuses.”

Hmm?

Karl frowned:

“But the money has already been paid.”

“Yeah!” Aya said indignantly:

“Not only have they not given us the goods, but we haven’t received our share of the profits for this month either. They said the accounts are unclear.”

“Our accounts are crystal clear, and there’s never been a problem!”

Karl stroked his chin.

He thought that as a ‘low-level person’ in the trading company, he wouldn’t be affected, but it seemed that the situation was not so simple.

Without the flesh and blood organs of legendary creatures to analyze, it would be difficult for his subsequent bloodline wizardry to progress.

It had been several days.

The two broadswords had already been modified, but the goods still hadn’t been delivered?

“I’ll go take a look.”

“Now?” Aya looked at the sky:

“It’s too late, isn’t it?”

“It’s okay.” Karl strode forward:

“It won’t take long.”

The cargo yard was located near the Vanilla Market. Before he even got close, a hint of doubt appeared in Karl’s eyes.

“They’re not there?”

“They actually moved!”

He had left a mark on the Windwing Skylion’s corpse, and now, the corpse was obviously not in its original location.

“Swish!”

With a tap of his foot, Karl’s figure disappeared from the spot and quickly ran towards the city.

Soon.

The sky gradually darkened.

Karl’s figure appeared in front of a manor.

“Sea routes, ships…”

Besides the chairman who oversaw the overall situation, the two vice presidents and Lula were each responsible for a part of the Dragon King Trading Company’s affairs.

“This is the territory of Vice President Jasper!”

No wonder he couldn’t get the goods. It turned out that the goods had changed hands, and he had offended Jasper before.

It was normal for things to be held up when the situation in the trading company was unclear.

Even,

If the control of the trading company did not fall into Lula’s hands in the end, no one would dare to say anything if the goods were not delivered.

With a sweep of his gaze, Karl silently avoided the patrolling personnel, sneaked into the shadows of a corner, and silently sensed.

The backyard!

His eyes lit up.

Cantrip ━ Silence!

Combat Technique ━ Aura Concealment!

Adolf not only possessed two complete inheritances, but also many cantrips and Zero-Circle Spells that he had collected.

Silence,

Was one of them.

After casting the spell, the sound caused by the caster’s movement would be weakened, making it difficult to attract the attention of others.

“Since you won’t give it to me, then I’ll take it myself. Anyway, the money has already been paid, so it doesn’t count as taking advantage.”

Karl whispered to himself, his figure quietly rose into the air, and jumped into the courtyard.

He landed silently.

The sound of his feet stepping on the grass stems was as if it had been erased by an invisible force, and was silent.

The Aura Concealment combat technique from the Giant Spirit Breathing Technique could also restrain the aura on his body, making it difficult to detect even for hounds with amazing senses of smell.

The security here was tight, and it should be a very important stronghold controlled by Jasper, but it couldn’t stop him.

“Swish!”

“Swish, swish!”

Avoiding the patrolling guards, Karl quickly approached the backyard.

The sensation of the Windwing Skylion was getting clearer and clearer.

“Huff…”

His sturdy and burly figure crossed the courtyard wall, landing lightly, like a nimble swallow.

And in front of him, the target of today finally appeared.

This was a not-so-small courtyard. Several large iron cages were placed in the courtyard, and each iron cage contained a ferocious beast.

The Windwing Skylion’s corpse was right in the center.

The corpse’s abdomen had been cut open, and some flesh and blood tissue had been taken away. The wings were also tattered.

To ordinary people, this was a terrifying corpse.

For knights and Grand Knights, the flesh and blood of legendary creatures was a great tonic and was very valuable.

To Karl,

The corpse in front of him was a treasure!

As long as he analyzed this corpse, the prerequisite for becoming a Bloodline Wizard would be fulfilled, and he could carry out flesh and blood modification.

“I was supposed to deliver the goods, but you went back on your word. As compensation, it’s not too much for me to take away all the remaining corpses, right?”

Karl looked as if it was a matter of course.

He had come all this way and put in so much effort. If he only took a little bit, how could he be satisfied?

He took a step forward and reached out to pull the iron gate, but his eyebrows twitched as he was about to open it.

The iron cage had an iron gate, and the iron gate was locked. In this empty courtyard, the lock was actually open.

Who would be so careless?

No!

Someone had infiltrated!

“Tss!”

A subtle sound of air being pierced came from behind him.

A black shadow appeared out of thin air, like a ghost in the dark night, and shook his arm, thrusting out the long sword in his hand.

The long sword pierced through the air with astonishing speed.

Die!

The black shadow’s eyes were cold, without any emotional fluctuations. He had killed too many people, and he was already used to it.

As the top assassin of the Sickle Brotherhood, he was confident that he would succeed in a sneak attack from behind at such close range.

Even if it was a Grand Knight, he had enough confidence to succeed.

What’s more…

The black night sky above suddenly gathered, turning into a figure holding a dagger, stabbing towards Karl’s head.

Rune ━ Shadow!

Rune ━ Night Walker!

These two runes had the effect of allowing the user to blend into the darkness and increase their strength in the night.

The two of them working together had never failed before.

“Hmm?”

“Huh!”

Sounds of surprise rang out.

But an invisible force appeared in front of the blades, and the two people’s lightning-fast speed was suddenly stopped.

No!

It wasn’t one force.

But several forces!

An invisible force field was slowing down the two people’s movements, and the enormous pressure made their movements stiffen.

And around them, water currents had appeared at some point, and the water currents had formed a vortex, pulling them inward.

Zero-Circle Spell ━ Minor Force Field!

Zero-Circle Spell ━ Water Vortex!

Magical Item ━ Meteorite Orb ━ Double Gravity!

And,

The domain pressure of a Grand Knight erupting!

Karl slowly turned around, his expression indifferent, his gaze sweeping over the two black night assassins whose movements had slowed down.

“Knights?”

“It seems that besides me, there are others who have taken a liking to the benefits of the Dragon King Trading Company. I can only say that you are too unlucky to have encountered me.”

This was normal.

The Dragon King Trading Company, which had lost its Dragon King and had internal conflicts, was a piece of fat meat in the eyes of other forces.

They wouldn’t be able to face themselves if they didn’t take a bite.

If it weren’t for Karl, the two of them should have succeeded.

But in front of a Senior Wizard Apprentice armed to the teeth, even knights couldn’t get close.

Peak Knights…

He could kill them with a casual wave of his hand!

“Night Walker!”

His gaze paused slightly on one of the figures, and Karl’s eyes flickered.

When he first arrived at the Free Port, someone had used this rune as a reward to recruit him.

Unfortunately!

“You’re from the Sickle Brotherhood?”

The black-clad man’s eyes narrowed, and his speed suddenly increased.

Under the blessing of the rune, and being in the dark night, his explosive power instantly reached the Peak Knight stage.

Combat Technique ━ Thrust!

The extreme speed and sudden burst of power allowed him to break through many limitations and rush in front of Karl.

“Puff!”

A water ball appeared out of thin air.

The long sword pierced into the water ball, and the speed slowed down immediately, but it paused slightly before rushing forward again.

“Clang…”

A suit of pitch-black armor once again blocked the way, and Karl raised his left hand, and a faint light flickered on his ring.

Zero-Circle Spell ━ Azure Wave Protection!

Magical Item ━ Guna!

The black-clad man’s strength stagnated, and despair appeared in his eyes.

“A Peak Knight’s full-strength burst, and he still can’t break through my defense?” Muttering softly, Karl gently waved his arm.

“Swish!”

“Puff!”

A cold light flashed, and two corpses fell to the ground.

Although he had only recently been promoted to Grand Knight, in front of him, those who were not Grand Knights posed no threat at all.

Peak Knights…

He could kill them with a casual wave of his hand!

“I wonder what it would be like to encounter a Grand Knight?”

He calmly stroked his chin, manipulated the water currents to roll the corpses to the side, and reached out to grab the corpse in the cage.

“Collect!”

“Hmm!”

Karl grunted, and his body trembled slightly.

This was the first time he realized that it was so difficult to bring something over a certain weight into the Divine Domain Fragment.

It was like eating a big meal with a small mouth, he could only swallow it bit by bit.

After a long while.

The void suddenly trembled, and Karl, along with the Windwing Skylion’s corpse in the iron cage, disappeared at the same time.

The Divine Domain Fragment.

“Huff…”

Karl’s body went limp, and he almost collapsed on the spot. He rested for a long time before slowly recovering some energy.

When he returned to the other world again, what greeted him was a scene of chaos.

Please collect!!!
