Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 92

Chapter 92: Another Encounter with Great God’s Grace
“Kill!”

“Who is it?”

“Stop them!”

“Brothers, follow me and charge in! Whatever we grab is ours!”

Roars, shouts, and cries of battle blended into a cacophony, the flames that had sprung up everywhere illuminating the manor.

Most of those who charged into the manor were dressed in night attire, their strength varied, but they were all incredibly fierce.

The glint of swords and blades flashed, and bodies fell one after another.

The guards that the Dragon King Trading Company had stationed here were also not weak, but they were far outnumbered by the enemies who had charged in.

The defensive line had long since collapsed.

“Swish!”

One person rushed towards Karl, swinging his blade to strike. The surface of the long blade in his hand had a layer of bluish luster, clearly coated with poison.

Karl frowned slightly, drawing his broadsword and casually swinging it.

“Bang!”

The power of a Grand Knight was overwhelmingly advantageous against ordinary people. The incoming long blade shattered instantly, and the remaining force slammed into the chest of the blade-wielder, breaking several ribs and sending him flying.

He lost his breath before he even hit the ground.

This strike also caused several people who had intended to surround him to pause, their faces showing fear.

They then turned and scattered in all directions.

They couldn’t afford to provoke him!

……

“What’s going on?”

“Are other forces moving against the Dragon King Trading Company?”

He had only rested for a while in the Divine Domain Fragment, and now he came out to find chaos, causing Karl to feel puzzled. However, he did not feel fear. With his current strength, he was among the top experts in the entire Free Port.

Apart from a few Peak Grand Knights and those who had mastered special runes, dealing with others would not be a problem.

His gaze shifted, Karl pondered for a moment, then turned and strode towards the core area of the manor.

There should be many good things here, he might as well take advantage of the chaos to explore.

Because it was close to the Endless Sea and subjected to the erosion of water vapor and sea winds year-round, the architecture of the Free Port had its own unique characteristics.

It was not too tall but very heavy.

Usually, it was not very aesthetically pleasing.

And exquisitely and beautifully built rooms were extremely rare.

In the central area of this manor, there were a few such buildings, specifically used to store various precious goods.

At this time,

The once pleasing buildings had almost turned into ruins, and blood flowed across the cold ground.

“Bang!”

The sound of impact was dull and powerful.

A heavy wooden door was sent flying by a tremendous force, crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Two figures leaped out from within, one after the other.

A curved scimitar and a long spear collided in mid-air, sparks flying as gusts of wind howled out.

“Rhodes!”

Theresa, the guard captain of the Dragon King Trading Company, wielded her long spear, roaring loudly:

“Don’t think that just because you’re wearing a mask, I won’t recognize you! Are you hunters not afraid of our company’s retaliation?”

“Hmph!” Rhodes snorted coldly:

“Dragon King Trading Company? The Dragon King Zimmerman is dead. It’s uncertain whether your company will even exist in the future.”

“Get out of my way!”

“Clang…”

The curved scimitar in his hand flashed rapidly, leaving behind multiple afterimages, striking the long spear more than ten times in an instant.

The violent shock force caused Theresa to retreat repeatedly.

Compared to the fierce attack, his words were even more shocking, causing her expression to change drastically.

“The Dragon King is dead?” Theresa growled:

“You’re lying!”

“It seems you don’t know yet?” Rhodes sneered:

“How pitiful, you had to be told this news by an outsider. Otherwise, why do you think we would dare to come here?”

Theresa gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing.

She had heard rumors about this news, but she did not know the specifics. In fact, very few people did.

Tonight’s attack,

was a test by other forces!

A test of the Dragon King Zimmerman’s current situation.

If the Dragon King was still alive, the subsequent actions would naturally cease, and those who participated in today’s operation would have to pay the price.

If it was confirmed that he was dead…

Then it would be a different story!

“Rhodes, stop talking nonsense with them.”

Not far away, a large man wielding a shield and a giant axe charged forward while swinging his axe:

“Whether the Dragon King is dead or not, we’ll kill them all today. Who will know it was us?”

“Thud!”

The large man’s strength was astonishing. The heavy shield moved nimbly in his hands, blocking all incoming attacks.

He swung his giant axe, and no one could withstand it head-on.

“Raiden!”

“The vice-captain of the Storm Brigade!”

“The Dragon King Trading Company will not let you go!”

The Hunter’s Guild and the Storm Brigade were both medium-sized forces in the Free Port. Although they could not compare to the Dragon King Trading Company, they were not weak either.

Each force had a Grand Knight overseeing it.

However,

No Grand Knights showed up tonight.

But apart from Rhodes and Raiden, there were also several Peak Knight-level experts in the field.

Although they were wearing night attire and concealing their faces, their signature martial arts and weapons could not be mistaken.

“Enough talk!”

“Charge!”

The group swarmed forward.

Almost everyone who came here was a Knight-level expert, and there were many Peak Knight-level experts among them.

Their methods were skillful, and they also possessed various runes. For a time, the company’s resistance became precarious.

“Clang!”

“It’s open!”

Someone roared, their voice filled with ecstasy:

“The secret chamber!”

“The Dragon King Trading Company’s truly valuable treasures are all here.”

“Haha…” Raiden laughed, his giant axe attack becoming more urgent as he charged forward with his shield raised:

“Brothers, follow me!”

“Kill!”

Lured by the treasures, the group swarmed forward with fanaticism, and the company’s guard line instantly collapsed.

Some people had even rushed into the secret chamber to plunder.

“Whoosh…”

A gale howled.

Several figures on the periphery were sent flying.

Karl, who had found a black robe to put on, appeared in the field, pulling on the hood over his head, a smile appearing on his face.

“It seems, I’ve arrived just in time.”

“Who are you?” Raiden’s voice was serious as he turned his head to look at his companion:

“Rhodes, is he the one you were looking for?”

Those guarding the periphery were not weak, and to be sent flying so easily, the newcomer’s strength was obvious.

An expert!

“No.” Rhodes shook his head:

“I don’t know him.”

“Swish!”

Ignoring their hesitation and surprise, Karl flashed forward, heading straight for the secret chamber.

“Stop him!”

“Halt!”

Theresa, the guard captain of the Dragon King Trading Company, as well as Rhodes and Raiden, attacked him simultaneously.

“Die!”

Raiden’s eyes flashed with ferocity as he swung his giant axe down from above, a gust of wind rising up from the ground.

“Clang…”

A sword shadow appeared before the axe blade.

The tremendous force of the collision caused Raiden to feel as if he had crashed into a mountain, his arm instantly going numb, and his throat tasting sweet.

“Boom!”

The violent force surged out on the spot.

Three figures were sent flying directly.

“What?”

“A Grand Knight!”

The expressions of everyone in the field changed drastically.

To be able to remain unscathed under the siege of three Peak Knights, and even gain the upper hand with a single move,

The newcomer was definitely a Grand Knight.

The number of Grand Knights in the Free Port was limited, and each one was famous. Who was this person in front of them?

Just at this moment.

“Clang…”

A melodious sound of impact came from afar.

At first, it was still very far away, but the second time it sounded, it was already clearly audible, approaching at an astonishing speed.

“It’s the vice-president!”

Theresa’s face showed ecstasy. She was very familiar with this kind of movement:

“The vice-president is here!”

Jasper?

Karl’s eyes flashed.

He had considered sparring with a Grand Knight to see what his current strength was like, but now was clearly not a good opportunity.

‘Jasper was already a Grand Knight more than twenty years ago. With the abundant resources of the Dragon King Trading Company, his strength would definitely not be weak.’

‘Forget it!’

Shaking his head, he flashed into the secret chamber, and with a wave of his sleeve, he sent the people who were searching for things flying.

The secret chamber was not large.

And there were not many things.

But without exception, they were all treasures.

High-quality Beast Pills, coral pearls, exotic beast essence…

“Great God’s Grace!”

Karl’s eyes lit up as he reached out and grabbed an open wooden box, inside which were five Great God’s Grace coins.

These were good things that could increase Source Essence!

Compared to people of the same realm, Karl’s strength increase was definitely not slow, and could even be said to be very fast.

But compared to when he was a Junior Wizard Apprentice, it was much slower.

Like mental power.

Even with the aid of potions, it would take a year or two to increase it by one point, and that was without any resistance to the potion.

If there was resistance to the potion…

Three years!

It would take at least three years to increase it by one point.

Without the aid of potions, the progress would be even more despairingly slow.

But if he had Source Essence, he could increase it with a single tap. There was simply no comparison between the two.

“It’s been so long since I came to the Free Port, and I’ve finally seen Great God’s Grace again.”

After putting away the Great God’s Grace, Karl suppressed his excitement and continued to search, finding another wooden box containing Beast Pills.

The Beast Pills were bright red, completely different from ordinary high-quality Beast Pills.

“Beast Pills made from the flesh and blood of legendary creatures?”

Put them away!

High-level magic materials?

Put them away!

High-quality Beast Pills?

Put them away first!

Seaship construction blueprints?

Although they were useless to him, they were probably the most valuable things here, so he had to put them away as well.

***

“Clang…”

The sound was getting closer and closer.

Karl paused his plundering, looking at the treasures in the secret chamber, his eyes showing reluctance.

Forget it!

Let’s go!

With a flash, Karl took his loot and rushed into the night, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

…………

After exceeding a certain speed, the thin air would become viscous, and the resistance would increase greatly.

Many Grand Knights who were good at speed were troubled by this.

Jasper,

was one of them.

However, as the vice-president of the Dragon King Trading Company, he controlled many resources in the Free Port and had ways to solve it.

Stepping on the rooftops, he used the force to propel himself forward.

He was like a fish in water. With a slight tremor of his arms, he would surge forward more than ten meters.

The air behind him surged, even making a whistling sound.

Each time he was about to run out of strength, the bell hanging from his waist would vibrate, and the melodious sound would invigorate his spirit.

Power surged from within his body once more.

“My old friend.”

A light voice came from not far away:

“Where are you going?”

Huh?

Jasper’s eyes narrowed, and his body gently folded, like a leaf slowly falling from the rooftop.

“Swish!”

A figure flashed from the side, landing nearby.

“Henry!” Looking at the newcomer, Jasper snorted coldly:

“Is the Sickle Brotherhood out of people? Old Henry, you’re already so old, and you still have to come out and busy yourself.”

“Don’t forget, even eagles fall from cliffs!”

Eagle Henry, the Fourth Elder of the Sickle Brotherhood, and also the weakest of the elders.

“There’s no other way.”

Henry sighed lightly:

***

“The others are all busy, only this old man is bored and has time to wander around.”

“Old friend.”

“Where are you going?”

“Hmph!” Jasper snorted lightly:

“You should know very well.”

“To the shipyard?” Henry smiled:

“I also saw the fire there, so I became interested. But don’t worry, I’ve already sent people to help put out the fire.”

“We’re all people of the Free Port, so of course we should help each other. But you must not mistake those who are helping to put out the fire as enemies.”

“Helping?” Jasper’s eyes were gloomy:

“I hope so.”

“Speaking of which.” Henry turned around, looking towards the inner city:

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen the Dragon King. I wonder how he’s doing now. You know, there have been many rumors lately…”

“If you want to know, go see for yourself.” Jasper strode away:

“I’m leaving!”

“…” Watching Jasper’s figure disappear, Henry smiled, reaching out to stroke his beard.

With this delay, those who should have left probably already had.

“The Dragon King?”

“It seems he’s really not doing well, there’s no movement even now!”

…………

The fire at the Dragon King Trading Company’s shipyard did not cause too much of a stir in the Free Port.

After all, fires were a rare but not unheard-of occurrence by the sea.

But it had already spread among certain groups.

On the surface, the Free Port still maintained its usual calm, but underneath, undercurrents were already surging.

“Karl!”

“Aya.”

Susan came over early in the morning, nodding to the two of them as a greeting.

“Morning!” Aya said, holding a bowl and smiling:

“Sister Susan, have you had breakfast? If not, have a little something here to fill your stomach?”

“I’ve already eaten.” Susan waved her hand:

“Karl, you look good today.”

“Yes.” Karl nodded:

“There’s an old saying in my hometown, ‘When people encounter happy events, they feel refreshed.’ I just happened to encounter something happy recently.”

“Is that so?” Susan, however, did not look happy at all. She gave a dry laugh and said:

“It might be quite chaotic in the city for a while. If you don’t feel safe, you can go to my shop.”

“Aya.”

Her expression became serious:

“Especially you, you must remember that.”

“Okay.” Aya’s eyes were blank:

“I will.”

Leon and the others were working at Susan’s shop, and she often went there. Now, she sensed something was wrong.

She subconsciously asked:

“Did something happen?”

“Not yet.” Susan sighed:

“But in the future…”

“It’s hard to say!”

*

Mental Power: 2.71

Source Essence: 0.5

……

Mental Power: 2.96

Source Essence: 0

0.25 of mental power didn’t seem like much, but if he were to rely on his fourth-level wizard talent to cultivate, it would take years to increase that amount, and that was without any resistance to the potions.

Even with the aid of potions, it would take a long time.

But now.

He only needed to tap it once.

Looking at the disappearing Source Essence and the increasing mental power, Karl took a deep breath, and his excited emotions gradually calmed down.

‘A physical strength value exceeding 3 means a Grand Knight; a mental power value exceeding 3, theoretically, means a Senior Wizard Apprentice, but I have not yet mastered six zero-circle spells.’

‘There’s still one more left.’

‘The cantrips I’ve mastered are: Light Spell, Speed Writing, Analysis Technique, Stealth, Control Water Flow…, and the zero-circle spells are: Minor Force Field, Fire Rune, Azure Wave Protection, Water Vortex, and also Mage Hand…’

‘There’s not much mental power left. The mental power required for Multiple Water Arrows is too much, so I’ll put that off for now. I can choose the Magic Missile, Gravity Distortion, and Minor Eye of Insight that I previously abandoned. I’ll increase my realm first.’

‘As long as I become a Senior Wizard Apprentice, the power of my spells will greatly increase, and I won’t fear even Peak Grand Knights.’

With these thoughts in mind, Karl turned around and went to the dissection room.

“Windwing Skylion, a legendary amphibious creature, has a complete digestive system and excretory system.”

“Bloodline model of the torso…”

“Analysis of the head…”

As he muttered, a quill pen flew out on its own, dipped in ink, and began to write and draw on the parchment, making notes.

Mage Hand!

The spell model constructed in his mental sea transformed the intangible mental power into an invisible hand.

This hand was as agile as a human hand, able to hold a quill pen to write, and able to hold heavy objects to attack.

It could even withstand incoming attacks.

It was considered one of the essential spells for every wizard apprentice.

Karl used to think this spell was dispensable, so he didn’t cultivate it. Only after mastering it did he realize how convenient it was.

Serving tea, pouring water, sweeping the floor, making the bed, all it took was a single thought. It was simply a must-have artifact for lazy people.

…………

Swamp Alliance.

Karl, Sybil, and her young apprentice Pine boarded a wooden boat, landing on an island.

“Welcome!”

After getting off the boat, a thin old woman came over to greet them, warmly saying:

“Miss Sybil, Omar always mentions you. You haven’t been working part-time in the patrol team lately, have you?”

“If you have time, come visit more often.”

“Yes.” Sybil bowed:

“The patrol team gives too few points. I took a mission to explore the depths of the Black Swamp, and I can only come back once a month. I’m really lucky to have heard that Omar has been promoted to a Senior Wizard Apprentice.”

“Congratulations!”

“Mrs. Wendy, you’ve taken in a good apprentice.”

“Yes!” Wendy nodded upon hearing this, her face full of smiles:

“I only have a fourth-level wizard talent, but I took in a second-level talent disciple. The key is that she’s very filial.”

“I can only say…”

“Your luck is really good!”

“Mrs. Wendy.” Karl presented a gift:

“Congratulations!”

“Thank you.” Wendy smiled and accepted the gift:

“Mr. Karl, you must be visiting our island for the first time. Apart from Omar’s residence, you can wander around anywhere else.”

“Oh!”

“My dear Steve, you look so handsome today, I’m even a little tempted.”

She looked at the new guests, praising loudly, and at the same time said to the three of them:

“Omar is inside chatting with friends. Please make yourselves at home. I have to entertain the other guests, so I won’t be able to attend to you.”

“Please go ahead, Mrs. Wendy.” Sybil nodded, watching the other woman leave.

“Mentor.”

Little Pine asked curiously:

“Isn’t it said that only those who have made great contributions can have an island? Why does Mrs. Wendy have an island too?”

Wendy was only an Intermediate Wizard Apprentice.

Omar had only just been promoted to a Senior Wizard Apprentice, and because she focused on cultivation, she rarely participated in missions.

“Besides making contributions, you can also rent one by spending money.” Sybil rubbed his head, explaining:

“As the poisonous miasma dissipates, more and more islands are being explored. Since they’re empty anyway, renting them out can also earn some money for the alliance.”

“You’ve grown taller again!”

“Hehe…” Little Pine scratched his head.

At seven or eight years old, he was at the age where he was growing taller. Sybil only came back once a month, and each time she came back, she could see noticeable changes.

“I’ll rent an island in the future too, and call my mother to live with me.”

“That’s ambitious!”

Sybil praised casually.

“Lawson!”

“Bach!”

***

They met many acquaintances along the way, who greeted them one after another.

Today’s protagonist, Omar, was dressed in formal attire. Her clothes were gorgeous and intricate, like a moving oil painting among the crowd, radiating a dazzling light.

Her purple velvet robe, which reached her ankles, was exquisitely embroidered. The images outlined in gold and silver threads were mysterious and profound, clearly enhanced by some kind of magic. The lace trim added a touch of delicacy and softness to it.

Her demeanor was elegant and composed, and her smile was like a spring breeze, warm and kind. Such a woman in full dress naturally became a beautiful sight in the crowd, making it impossible to look away.

“Omar!”

Sybil’s eyes lit up:

“You look so beautiful today, it’s breathtaking! You used to dress so plainly.”

“Hehe…” Omar covered her mouth and giggled:

“I’m in a good mood today, so I dressed up specially.”

“As for you, my friend, you’ve become more and more haggard in the past six months. Sometimes you should relax.”

As she spoke, her eyes showed pity, and she helped Sybil tidy the stray hairs at her temples.

In the past six months or so,

Sybil had been either in the patrol team or on missions, and her complexion had become much worse.

Her eyes also inevitably showed signs of fatigue.

“Sigh!”

Sybil waved her hand:

“I’m not like you. My talent isn’t good. If I don’t do this, my future achievements… I don’t want that.”

“While I’m still young and my body can still be pushed, it’s the right time to work hard. I won’t regret it when I’m old.”

Speaking of this, her eyes lit up, her gaze sharp:

“Omar, tell me quickly, how does it feel to become a Senior Wizard Apprentice? How did you break through?”

“Well, I don’t feel much different.” Omar curled her fingers:

“After constructing six zero-circle spells, my mental sea became more stable and clear, and casting spells became smoother…”

“You’re almost there too, right?”

“I’m still one spell short.” Sybil said softly:

“Did you really choose that spell?”

“Yes.”

“…”

The two of them whispered to each other, gradually talking about private matters between women. Karl excused himself and left.

“Bach!”

The bloodline wizard Bach was as solitary as ever. Seeing Karl approach, he only nodded expressionlessly.

“I heard you went on a mission too?”

Karl asked curiously:

“You shouldn’t be short of magic stones, right?”

By modifying people’s bodies, Bach had accumulated a small fortune, although his expenses were also high.

“A group of curse frogs were discovered in the depths of the Black Swamp. Analyzing these magical creatures will be very beneficial to me.” Bach said in a low voice:

“So I went.”

“What about you?”

“Have you refined any new magic items recently? If there are any suitable ones, remember to ask me first.”

“Magic items are not so easy to refine.” Karl shook his head:

“I’ll remember to notify you.”

“Okay.” Bach said casually:

“Have you heard?”

“Bunion was kicked out of the Black Swamp for seducing a female Intermediate Wizard Apprentice, his legs broken.”

“Huh?” Karl frowned:

“When did that happen?”

“A few days ago.” Bach said:

“That female Intermediate Wizard Apprentice had a fiancé, who was also a Wizard Apprentice. When they found them, the two were in bed, having a conversation without clothes, hey…”

“His legs were broken on the spot!”

“Did Senior Arthur say anything?” Karl asked.

The situation between Bunion and the female Wizard Apprentice had been going on for a while. This kind of thing wasn’t unheard of.

However, he had always acted with some restraint, and with a Senior Wizard Apprentice grandfather, it usually wasn’t a big problem.

“Senior Arthur failed to break through to a Formal Wizard. It’s uncertain whether he can even maintain his Senior Wizard Apprentice status, and he won’t live for much longer…” Bach said:

“Although it’s a bit impolite, it’s the truth. He can’t keep helping Bunion deal with this kind of thing forever.”

“Only breaking his legs, not taking his life, is already giving face to his grandfather.”

Karl nodded slowly.

He didn’t have anything to say about this, but Bunion’s fate was expected, it was just a matter of time.

“Whoosh…”

The crowd behind them suddenly erupted in a commotion, many Wizard Apprentices looking surprised and cheering softly about something.

What happened?

The two of them looked at each other, both with blank expressions.

Soon,

The news spread.

The Formal Wizard Gunther would be giving a free lesson soon, explaining a zero-circle spell to the people of the Swamp Alliance.

The lesson would last for seven days.

At that time,

Wizard Gunther would explain the zero-circle spell in detail, guaranteeing that anyone who listened would quickly master it.

He would even choose two Wizard Apprentices to help them construct the spell model.

“Which zero-circle spell?”

Karl’s heart was surging:

“Free?”

“Yes!” Bach was also excited:

“It’s free, and you can master it quickly. It’s the zero-circle spell Mage Hand. Wizard Gunther possesses the first-circle spell Mage Hand, and his understanding of this spell far surpasses that of Wizard Apprentices.”

?

“Which one?”

“Mage Hand!”

Karl was speechless. He had just completed the construction of this zero-circle spell not long ago. At that time, there were many things he didn’t understand, and he had relied on the power of the Divine Domain Fragment to brute force his way through.

Damn it!

Why did it have to be this spell?

Seeing this, Bach grinned. He could guess why Karl’s expression was so strange. Many people in the field had the same expression, all of whom had cultivated the Mage Hand spell.

Fortunately!

He had focused on cultivating bloodline magic. If he could construct a zero-circle spell this time, he would be one step closer to becoming a Senior Wizard Apprentice.

Seeking collection!
