Chapter 85 Violence Potion (for collection)
To the east of the Vanilla Market, there is an open area, which was occupied by the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce in the early years to store goods.
Food, cloth, fishing gear...
Various materials are stacked in categories.
As one of the three major forces in Freeport, the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce is particularly good at commerce, with the largest range of goods.
Among them, the one that takes up the largest space and has the most amount of space is the fish caught from the sea.
Before he even got close, the strong fishy smell hit his face first, and all kinds of shouts came one after another.
The fishermen are not clean.
Especially the fishermen at sea.
Each trip can take as little as ten days or as long as several months. All the needs in life must be met on a relatively cramped ship.
Over time,
your body will have a peculiar smell that is difficult to wash off.
Under the urging of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce personnel, barefoot and bare-chested fishermen carried various seafood.
The life of the people at the bottom here is not much better than that in the Black City.
It’s just that one is a slave on the surface, and the other claims to be free.
The floor of the cargo yard is full of mud, and from time to time you can see small fish and shrimp jumping around in it, splashing a little mud.
Susan took out a handkerchief, covered her mouth and nose and walked inside.
It can be seen that
she does not like it here.
“We’re here.”
Stopping in a relatively spacious courtyard, Susan stretched out her hand and pointed at an iron cage in front of her:
“That’s it.”
“Corrupted Cancer!”
Karl looked intently.
In the cage was a giant crab, two meters high and nearly five meters long.
It's like a low house.
Its shell is covered with moss and silt, and its thick and solid carapace gives people an indestructible feeling of thickness.
The most eye-catching thing is its two huge pincers.
It's like two giant iron pliers, sharp and powerful. As the distance gets closer, you can feel the stronger sense of oppression.
Karl has no doubt that these pair of pliers can easily pinch a knight in half.
Perhaps it had been out of the sea water for too long. This rotten giant crab's eyes were dull and its body was motionless in the iron cage.
“Because of it, the Chamber of Commerce lost more than a dozen people.”
Susan covered her mouth and nose and said in a muffled voice:
“Corrupted giant crabs grow in the offshore mud, and their shells It is hard and can spray corrosive acid."
"The pair of pliers are particularly sharp and can be punctured by ordinary fishing boats."
“But it’s full of treasures.”
When talking about this, Susan’s eyes lit up:
“The shell can be used to make weapons and strengthen ship boards, and crab roe and crab meat are great supplements. "Qi and blood."
"For knights, crab roe is as effective as high-quality animal balls, and it tastes very delicious."
"Oh!" Karl asked with interest. ：
"Can you touch it?"
"Of course." Susan shrugged:
"As long as you don't mind it being dirty."
As she said, she took two steps back. Put some distance between yourself and Carl.
When Carl saw this, he chuckled, stepped in front of the Corrupted Crab, and reached out to touch the thick carapace.
Analysis!
The mental fluctuations submerged into the body of the corrupt cancer.
As if it noticed something, it moved its body slightly, and then fell limply to the ground again.
Creatures living in the sea often lose their strength once they leave the water and become like lambs to be slaughtered.
A moment later.
Karl retracted his palm and shook his head regretfully.
According to the classification of the book "A Treatise on Magical Creatures", this corrupt giant crab is just a pseudo-magical creature.
Not to mention legendary creatures.
The only thing of research value is why it is so huge and the poison sacs in its body.
‘It seems that the distinction between magical creatures and ordinary creatures is not necessarily related to strength. The key is whether they have special abilities. ’
"How is it?"
Susan asked from behind:
"Are you interested?"
"I want some crab roe and some carapace." Carl turned Past life:
“Spent within one thousand divine grace coins.”
"No problem!" Susan said with a smile on her face:
"The crab roe may be a little short. After all, many knights from the Chamber of Commerce are interested, but I can give more carapace."
Suddenly.
"Peng!"
"Tie it up, hurry up!"
"Be careful, it broke free of the chain!"
A loud noise came from the courtyard next door, with a roar filled with panic, followed by a burst of crackling noises.
Susan raised her eyebrows, but before she could make a move, a white shadow had already swooped over the wall.
“Peng!”
The figure in front of him blurred, and Karl turned sideways and punched the white figure away.
"Be careful."
"Thank you." Susan smiled.
She is also a knight herself, so she is not afraid, but the feeling of being protected is always good:
“It turns out to be a crazy water monkey.”
Water monkey?
Karl looked towards Bai Ying.
It was a three-foot-tall, white-haired monkey with red eyes and a squeaking mouth.
Its hands were tightly bound by iron rings, but the iron chains above had broken, and it was obviously forced to break free.
This little guy is quite strong to be able to tear off an iron chain forcefully.
“Few people know how to catch water monkeys.”
Susan explained:
“This kind of creature likes to live in groups. A single one may not be strong, but there are dozens or hundreds of them in a nest, and even a big knight will have a headache.”
“ And once they are angered, they will become very crazy, and ordinary water monkeys can hurt the knight."
Think about it.
Hundreds of crazy knights, what a terrifying sight it would be?
It can easily destroy a fleet!
"The key is..."
Susan continued:
"Once the madness breaks out, there will be problems with the muscles and bones in their bodies, and they will not be able to sell them for money."
“So in the end, the gain outweighs the loss, and gradually no one wants to provoke it.”
Um?
When Carl heard this, his heart moved, as if he thought of something, he became interested.
Combat Skill—Eagle Attack!
With a flash of his body, like a goshawk flying close to the ground, Karl reached out and grabbed the grinning water monkey.
“Zhizhi...”
"Peng!"
The sound of collision sounded.
Even if the water monkey breaks out, its power is far inferior to that of Karl.
But it was not afraid of pain and had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. It took a lot of effort to get it completely after biting madly.
Analysis!
Mental fluctuations poured into the body of the immobile water monkey, and Karl's expression also changed back and forth.
"What?"
Susan smiled and approached:
"Are you also interested in this kind of thing?"
"Yes." Carl Nod:
"It's a pity, it's all spent now!"
Throwing his hand, he threw the limp water monkey aside.
"Well..."
"Sell it to me at a cheaper price later!"
"That's no problem." Susan nodded:
"The water monkey after the explosion can earn up to fifty divine grace coins, but its meat is not delicious at all."
Due to the stimulation of hormones, the water monkey's meat will be bitter and astringent. For ordinary people, the water monkey's meat will be bitter and astringent. People still have a certain amount of toxicity.
That’s why it’s sold so cheaply.
It took a lot of effort to catch them, but they suffered heavy losses and couldn't sell them for money. No wonder they don't want to do this kind of business.
“It’s okay.” Karl shook his head:
"I'll look into it."
Lowering his head, his eyes flashed.
In Adolf's potion formula, there is a special potion that can help the knight break through the realm.
Violence Potion!
This potion can increase the breath of life of the user in a short period of time, from the peak of a knight to the realm of a great knight.
Of course,
there are obvious sequelae.
That is, once the breakthrough fails, it will cause certain damage to the body.
‘Even so, the violent potion can make the knight crazy, after all, it can increase the chance of breakthrough by nearly 20%. ’
‘Unfortunately, the main material of the violent potion is too rare, and currently only the Holy See can provide it stably. ’
With his thoughts turning, Karl's eyes fell on the water monkey.
‘Its blood may replace the main material of the violent potion. ’
As for whether it can be done, it still needs to be experimentally verified, but it is always an opportunity and naturally cannot be let go.
On the way back.
"Uncle Carl!"
Aya ran from a distance with a panicked look on her face, her voice filled with tears:
"Quick!"
"Hurry, save Xiaonan!"
"Xiaonan?" Karl Looking up:
“What happened to him?”
…………
Water plague!
Terminal disease in Freeport!
The nightmare in the hearts of countless fishermen!
This is a special disease that doesn’t know when it will start and who will be affected.
People suffering from water plague will be uncontrollably thirsty, but no matter how much water they drink, it will be of no use.
The body will become crazy dehydrated!
That’s why it’s called water plague.
In the room.
Xiao Nan was soaked in a huge wooden barrel, her face was pale, and her body was shaking constantly.
He is afraid.
Afraid of death!
In the past few months since he left the Black City and came to the Port of Freedom, he finally realized the happiness of living.
Now,
the door seems to be closed for him.
"Uncle."
Xiaonan looked at Karl, her eyes full of hope and desire, wanting to get a different answer from him:
"I..."
"How am I doing?"
Karl stood beside the barrel with a gloomy expression:
"It's a water epidemic."
"Ah!" Xiaonan's face froze, her eyes filled with despair, she held her head in her hands and huddled up.
“Ugh...”
“I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die...”
“Ah!!!”
"Uncle!" Aya grabbed Carl's sleeves with both hands and cried:
"Save Xiaonan, save Xiaonan!"
"..." Carl shook his head gently .
If he could save it, how could he not take action, but there was really nothing he could do about a disease like water plague.
Analysis!
He stretched out his hand and pressed it on Xiao Nan's head, feeling mental fluctuations pouring in.
The next moment.
Chaos, madness, disorder, and twisted will poured into his mind, making Karl groan.
A layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
No!
People who contract the water plague will undergo changes in their bodies from the inside out, and this change is deep in the source of blood.
At first, the body will show symptoms of dehydration, so it will feel thirsty and keep drinking water, but it does not work.
The speed of drinking water intake is far less than the speed of water loss in the body.
Eventually.
Turn into a mummy and die.
The body will continue to dehydrate until it turns into a puddle of ooze.
Furthermore, water plague is highly contagious. If someone is in contact with a sick person for a long time, other people will also get water plague.
Freeport's solution is to throw sick people into the sea and let them melt.
Or burn to ashes!
“What to do?”
Aya looked helpless:
"What should I do?"
"Xiao Nan has only been in Freeport for a few months, why did he get the water epidemic? Others have been fine here for many years! ”
Karl shook his head.
Water plague seems to happen randomly. Some people will never get it in their lifetime, while some people will get sick as soon as they arrive in Freeport.
No recruitment at all!
No one knows where it comes from. Even if you drink hot water every day and pay attention to hygiene, you may still be infected.
Only by becoming a knight can you avoid being targeted. "Seven days."
Sighing, Karl said slowly:
"I will prepare some medicine to increase the speed of water absorption by the body, but Xiaonan can last for seven days at most. After seven days..."
"No!"
Xiaonan looked up blankly and murmured. Murmur:
“I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!”
“Ah!!!”
His eyes were red, he waved his arms wildly, smashed the barrel, knocked Aya away and rushed out the door.
“Xiaonan!”
Aya chased out in a hurry.
"Aya." Karl grabbed her and said sternly:
"Don't get too close to Xiaonan, he is now... If you are infected with the water plague, you will also die."
Aya's body stiffened.
An hour later.
Everyone found Xiaonan covered in bruises in a dark alley.
He was lying in a smelly ditch, pouring dirty water into his mouth, crying at the same time.
A person infected with the water plague is beaten by everyone in the Free Harbor. He is alive because he has the token of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce.
Aya took him back to the small courtyard and soaked him in a bucket.
The next day.
Xiaonan regained some sense, said a few words briefly, and even joked with Leon.
However, it can still be seen that he is in a very gloomy mood.
The third day.
He ordered some delicious food and locked a person in the room to eat everything.
The fourth day.
"Xiaonan is gone."
Aya squatted at the door with eyes blank, wanting to cry but unable to cry:
"He said he wanted someone People go to the beach to see.”
"Uncle..."
Karl put his hands behind his back and looked towards the endless sea. He could feel Xiaonan's breath moving away.
Gradually disappearing into the waves.

*
Main world.
Black Swamp.
A wooden boat slowly sailed out of the fog.
“Brother.”
Hetty stood at the bow of the boat, blinked her eyes, and asked curiously:
"What do you think that 'Carl' looks like?"
"Men never care about looks." Lao Sen stood up and adjusted his tall wizard hat. He smiled and said:
“If he can stand up for his senior sister without fear of force and fight as a knight against an intermediate wizard apprentice, his character is truly worthy of admiration.”
“Yes.” Hetty Nodding repeatedly:
"He must be a handsome and heroic man."
"Then you will be disappointed." Lawson shook his head:
"Although I have never seen him, I have heard people mention it, Karl There is a scar on his face.”
“I’m afraid it doesn’t suit your taste.”
Hetty couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed when she heard this, but she regained her composure and released a homing pigeon.
Not long after.
“Buzz…”
The poisonous miasma spread out in front, and Sibel, dressed in formal attire, waved to the two of them:
“Welcome!”
"Two friends from a cabin on a hill."
.........
Sibel built several new houses on the island, one of which was specially used to entertain guests.
“Let me introduce you.”
With a smile on her face, she extended her hand and said:
“These two are disciples of the senior wizard apprentice Cedric. Sen, sister Hetty ”
"The island they are on is called Hill House, not far from here."
"Him!"
Pointing to Karl, Sibel said:
"My Junior Brother Karl, I believe you have heard of his name.”
“Of course.” Lawson bowed and saluted:
"Adolf's disciple, brave and fearless knight, junior wizard apprentice Karl, I am Lawson, nice to meet you."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Hetty's eyes, but it was fleeting, and she looked at Karl similarly Bow down.
The man in front of me does have an ordinary appearance.
The two of them came to visit, firstly because they felt familiar, and secondly because they were curious about what kind of person Karl was.
In recent times, Karl’s name has spread throughout the Swamp League.
Most wizard apprentices have a cold temperament, but that doesn't mean they don't agree with some of the knight's rules.
Especially the young apprentices were amazed by what Karl had done.
"Lawson."
Karl stretched out his hand:
"Please sit down, both of you. Are you brothers and sisters?"
It is very rare that both siblings have wizard talents.
“Yes.” Several people sat down one after another. Lawson was obviously used to this kind of questions and said with a smile:
“We are twin brothers and sisters, and by coincidence, we both have wizards. Talent, let’s practice together with the teacher.”
“Well…”
After a moment’s hesitation, he spoke again:
"I am an intermediate wizard apprentice. Hetty is only a junior wizard apprentice because of his poor talent."
There was no need to tell him the specific level of practice. He only said it to express goodwill.
“Different talents?”
Sibel blinked:
“Unexpectedly, twin brothers and sisters would also have different talents.”
"Yes." Hetty sighed:
"I only have a level 4 wizard talent. I heard that your talent, Karl, is also a level 4 talent. We are the same."
"Wizard practice is almost impossible. It will be much different."
"Yes." Karl nodded.
Of course he won't say that he doesn't feel anything. After all, he has relied almost exclusively on potions in his practice so far.
The progress of training is so fast, let alone the third level talent, even the second level talent may not be able to compare with him.
"I have been busy building houses and decorating islands recently, so I have no time to visit." Sibel explained:
"In a few days, I will definitely go and meet the neighbors nearby."
Said,
rolled his eyes at Karl.
She was busy building a house and had no time. Karl didn’t know what he was doing, and he was nowhere to be seen every day.
The key is.
Karl set up many witchcraft traps around his house, obviously not wanting to be disturbed.
This man...
How heartless!
"Welcome!"
Hetti held her chin in her hands and said with an envious look on her face:
"I envy you. You don't have to be busy with various tasks of the alliance for nearly six years."
"We can't do it, we still have to earn points."
Adolf made great contributions to the Swamp Alliance, and the two of them also had time to spare.
With an independent island and a rich heritage, there are no tasks to complete. You can concentrate on training in the next few years.
It is indeed enviable.
“Points?”
Sibel’s beautiful eyes blinked:
“I was just about to ask, if I do the task, how many points can I get in exchange for it? What are the points? What can I exchange for? ”
"You
"Well..." Hetty thought for a while and said:
"If you do tasks, you don't need to give them to the alliance in exchange for rest time. The points you earn can be distributed at will. "
"As for the things that can be exchanged..."
"Magic stones, potions, materials, books, and even witchcraft can be exchanged, as long as someone from the alliance provides them. ”
Sibel's eyes lit up.
She plans to take over the mission.
Exploring the Black Swamp is in short supply of manpower. As long as you are willing to contribute, the alliance will be generous in rewarding you with points.
The knowledge provided by official wizards was something that was unthinkable in the past. Now you can redeem it as long as you have points.
The age of these people is not much different, they are all young people. After the initial restraint dissipated, the atmosphere gradually became cheerful.
"I plan to accumulate knowledge and increase my cultivation in these six years, and then break through to a high-level wizard apprentice."
Sibel said with a fighting spirit:
"A rare opportunity!"
"With the resources provided by the Swamp Alliance, there may be a chance to attack the official wizard in the future."
"Yes." Lawson nodded:
"Practice in the Black Swamp, and you will progress faster. You can also use points to exchange for the experience of the elders."
"Sibel, you have obtained the inheritance of your mentor again. With enough magic stones, your cultivation will definitely be faster." Growth."
"How enviable!"
He calculated silently:
"I'm afraid it will take at least ten years to become a senior wizard apprentice!"
"Senior wizard apprentice..." Hetty shrugged:
"I don't want to."
She only has a fourth-level wizard talent, and lacks potions and magic stones. In this life, she is at most a mid-level wizard. apprentice.
Unless the instructor suddenly...
Bah!
"Karl, where are you?"
Hetty blushed and turned her head.
"I plan to give it a try." Karl said with a serious face:
"My mentor's legacy means that I have no shortage of magic stones and can buy some witchcraft potions to assist my practice."
"In the past six years, I will work hard to practice and become an intermediate wizard apprentice!"
Um.
Actually, he is a senior wizard apprentice.
By the way, upgrade the knight level to the realm of great knight.
If possible.
Find a suitable legendary creature, analyze the creature's bloodline, and lay a solid foundation for the path of a bloodline wizard.
Thinking about it this way...
Time is running out!
Sibel blinked.
She didn’t expect that Karl would have such a strong ambition, and his fourth-level talent had limited future.
No wonder,
No wonder he didn't show up all day. It turned out that he was busy practicing.
It didn't seem right to bother her all day long. She couldn't help but blush when she thought of this.
When we left the island, it was already dark.
Lawson summoned a gust of wind to push the wooden boat forward, and asked casually:
"What do you think?"
"Karl and Sibel?" Hetty touched her smooth chin, her beautiful eyes flickering back and forth:
"Sibel has built a new house, and a witchcraft trap has been set up between it and Carl's residence."
"So..."
"The relationship between the two of them is not close enough to trust each other."
"Yes!" Lawson nodded:
"It can also be seen from the conversation that the two of them are apprentices studying with the same mentor, and there is no other relationship."
"How could this be?" Hetty looked regretful:
"Karl took the risk of losing his life to save Sibel. I originally thought they would become a loving couple."
"What a disappointment!"
"No." Lawson smiled:
"I think Karl's moral character is even more admirable. This shows that he did not help because of his different relationship with Sibel, but purely out of justice in his heart."
"Isn't such a person worthy? Respect?"
"..." Hetty opened her mouth:
"Maybe!"
In short,
Today's visit was a disappointment.
The 'brave' and 'just' knight Karl looks ordinary, and the relationship between the two is not that of a couple.
It’s nothing like the one in the story!
…………
Night.
Karl stopped what he was doing, looked at the scene in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.
“The witchcraft testing ground is finally completed!”
In addition to the library, every wizard will have a place to test witchcraft. Adolf also arranged it, but maybe because The reason for time is very rough.
After Karl’s transformation in the past few days, it has begun to take shape.
Magic device - energy detector!
Elemental Observer!
These are the two most critical things. As long as they are energy fluctuations in the realm of wizard apprentices, they can be detected and analyzed.
"So..."
"Let's begin!"
Name: Carl

Mental power: 2.06
Quality: 0
Occupation: Knight, intermediate wizard apprentice
The lion fights the rabbit, still uses all his strength, In order to be sure, when fighting Tim, Karl focused all his energy on physical fitness.
This brought his physique close to the 3-point mark.
The progress of mental power is very slow.
Please collect it!
