Chapter 88 Assassination (Please collect)
At dawn, a group of people appeared in front of Carl’s shop in the Herb Market with loud shouts.
The women and children among them knelt on the ground and howled and cried, while the others had angry faces on their faces.
"Karl!"
"Come out!"
"You murderer! Devil!"
"Treacherous and despicable pharmacist, not only will you not get paid for doing things for you, but you will also lose your life because of it!"
"Get out of here!"< br>
Nothing is too big a deal.
Not long after, passers-by gathered around the shop, everyone whispering and muttering something.
Word spread quickly about Carl's unpaid killings.
“In order to do work for Carl, our captain Gray died at sea. His brother asked him for the remaining reward, but he was beaten to death!”
Charles’ arm was wrapped in white cloth. , shouted loudly:
"In the Port of Freedom, if a family loses two men, everyone knows what it means."
"How will women and children live next?"< br>
"We are also members of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce, are we just allowed to be bullied like this?"
"Karl!"
The blood in his neck was bulging, and he roared towards the store:
" Come out!”
“Get out of here!”
"What are so many people gathering here for?" At this moment, a slightly hoarse voice sounded:
"Your name is..."
"Charles, right?"
Charles turned around, his expression changed, and he lowered his head hurriedly:
“Miss Lula!”
"Yes." Lula put her hands behind her back and came to the front of the store accompanied by Susan, Karl and others.
"We are all members of the Chamber of Commerce. If you have any problems, just solve them privately. There is no need to make such a fuss."
She waved her hand:
"Let everyone disperse. Come on!"
"This..." Charles looked embarrassed.
He wanted to refuse, but the person in front of him was the daughter of the president of the Chamber of Commerce and the leader in business.
“Lula.”
The crowd of onlookers separated to both sides, and a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes walked out:
“Now that I know it’s me People should not be so cruel in the first place.”
“If you are so cruel to your own people, let’s not talk about anything else. I’m afraid there is something wrong with Pharmacist Karl’s character.”
"Jasper!" Lula looked at the person with her eyes and her face sank slightly:
"I didn't expect you to be here too."
Jasper,
Dragon King Chamber of Commerce One of the vice presidents.
Mainly responsible for all matters related to going overseas.
At the same time,
he is also a great knight!
“I was out for a walk when I was bored, and happened to see a group of people gathered here, so I came over to join in the fun.” Jasper smiled lightly:
“Why does Lula have time to come here? "
"The Chamber of Commerce is in urgent need of a batch of medicines, I will come and get them," Lula explained, and then said:
"I've also heard about Gray. The mission he took was inherently dangerous. He can't blame others for being killed."
"Going to sea..."
"You should know very well that death is normal. . ”
Since you have accepted a dangerous mission, you must be prepared for disaster, otherwise how can you get high rewards?
High returns and high risks, that’s what it is, you can’t blame others.
"Yes." Jasper nodded:
"But killing Gray's younger brother Gal is a bit too much. Just because Carl is a pharmacist valued by the Chamber of Commerce, you can't ignore the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, right?"< br>
“It’s Gal who is too greedy.”
“But it won’t lead to death!”
Lula was silent.
"There is no need for you two to argue." Karl took a step forward and advised:
"It is true that I was impulsive about Gal's matter, so..."
"I will pay two thousand divine grace coins. , take care of Gal’s funeral, and use the rest to settle his family.”
“Okay!” Lula patted her hands:
"That's it!"
Then he looked at Jasper.
"You don't have any objections, right?"
"..." Jasper's eyes flashed, he paused at Karl and Lula, and Fang nodded:
"Okay."
As for Charles, who led the crowd to make trouble, no one asked his opinion and was automatically ignored by the two.
A group of people leave just as quickly as they come.
Watching Jasper and others leave, Carl said:
"Thank you very much Miss Lula for taking action today, otherwise I am afraid there will be trouble."
"It should be." Lula smiled lightly:
"You did the right thing. You should have informed me of this kind of thing in advance. How can my people be bullied by others?"
"As for that Gal..."
"Well done! ”
Yesterday, Karl told the other party what happened, and Lula also expressed her willingness to come forward.
Now the Chamber of Commerce is in urgent need of medicines. As the top pharmacist in Freeport, it is certainly worth wooing him.
"However, the matter will not be solved so easily."
Lula narrowed her eyes and said:
"Jasper is nicknamed the cunning fox. This person has a very small mind and it is impossible to be like this. Retreat easily."
"He hit you just to make me look good. If things don't go well today, there must be other methods."
< br>
night.
Two figures appeared near the courtyard where Karl lived.
Wearing night clothes, they gathered their breath and rushed towards the small courtyard silently, heading straight to the only room with light.
“Whoa!”
The two of them drew out their swords and were about to take action when one of them suddenly stopped and shouted:
"No!"
"It's a trap, let's go!"
"Let's go?" A sneer came from not far away, and Susan, dressed in smart clothes, stepped out with a machete in hand:< br>
“It’s too late!”
Before she finished speaking, torches lit up all around her.
More than ten elite guards from the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce rushed out quickly and surrounded the two people.
“It’s just as Miss Lula expected.”
Karl clapped his hands, pushed the door open and walked out:
“Someone will really come to me at night. Trouble! Are you here from Jasper or Charles?"
"What Jasper, Charles?" One of the men in black groaned:
"I've never heard of it!"
"Let's go!"
With a low shout, the two men turned and rushed in the direction they came from. Their moves were like lightning, and the swords in their hands were dancing. A cold glow.
Susan shouted:
“Stop them!”
A group of guards raised their steel forks and stabbed at the two of them, and even more powerful arrows were shot from the darkness.
The nursing home had prepared for a long time and cooperated with each other tacitly. The seemingly casual blow actually blocked the opponent's forward momentum.
“Ding-ding-dang-dang-dang…”
“Peng!”
“Careful!”
"It's a knight, and there is a shadow seal!"
The strength of the two people was unexpected. Everyone yelled, but they couldn't stop retreating.
“Zheng!”
Susan drew her knife.
The scimitar drew a graceful arc and went straight towards one of them, the sword's light looming with murderous intent.
Combat skill - Dark Moon Slash!
"Ding..."
"Poof!"
Blood splattered.
Although the assassin's strength is not weak, it is far inferior to Susan, not to mention that there are other entanglements in the nursing home.
The fight lasted only a few moves before he was injured.
At this moment.
A shadow appeared silently behind Karl, like a poisonous snake showing its fangs in the dark night.
There is an assassin!
When everyone else's attention was attracted by the two assassins in the field, the real killing move also emerged.
"Be careful!"
Susan turned around suddenly and was horrified when she saw this. She ignored her opponent and turned around to pounce.
No way,
It’s obviously too late!
“Ding…”
Karl drew his sword at the last moment.
The broad sword lay across the back. Although he blocked the incoming attack, his body lost his balance and rolled to the ground.
"Ding-ding-dong-dang..."
The sound of the collision was like rain hitting banana trees.
Susan brandished a machete and collided wildly with the intruder, with shadows intertwining and sparks flying in the interplay of gold and iron.
"Let's go!"
The assassin who appeared last groaned in a low voice. His offensive suddenly became more urgent, and he led his two companions to break out of the encirclement.
Blink your eyes and disappear into the night.
“Karl!”
Susan ignored the pursuit and hurried to Carl’s side:
"How are you?"
"Huh..." Karl's face turned pale, he shook his shoulders, and said with a forced smile:
"It's okay, it's just a muscle strain. I'll rest for a few days. Well, it’s a pity that we couldn’t capture the assassin.”
“Otherwise, we could cause trouble for Jasper in front of the president.”
“It’s not that simple.” ：
"Even if he is caught, Jasper will not admit it, but don't worry, the three of them will not get any benefits."
He said with a cold smile.
The scimitar in her hand was highly poisonous. Fortunately, the master was not injured in the end, but the other two would be disabled if not dead.
In Freeport, a crippled knight is as good as dead.
Maybe even worse!
…………
The night is getting darker.
Several oil lamps were lit, illuminating the room as if it were daytime.
Charles ordered a table of wine and food. Under the greetings of others, he stretched out his hands to eat and drink.
His hobbies are different from others.
He doesn't like beautiful women,
and he doesn't like money.
He is only interested in all kinds of food, and even making money is just to buy more delicious food.
“Captain.”
The new first mate is attentive:
"Try this, the meat of a hill giant. This is a legendary creature that lives in mountainous areas. It is said that it can kill a great knight with one fist. Unfortunately, it has no wisdom and was knocked unconscious by poison and killed."< br>
"Oh!" Charles' eyes lit up, he grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, eating it three times.
The first mate was secretly surprised when he saw this.
The meat of the hill giant is so firm that it will not rot even if it is stewed for three days and three nights. Ordinary people cannot digest it at all.
Even a knight with exaggerated visceral abilities has to take small sips and taste slowly, but Charles is so relaxed.
No wonder he was able to kill the original captain Gray, as his strength may have reached the peak of a knight.
“Not bad!”
Licking the corner of his mouth, Charles’s eyes lit up:
“The meat of the legendary creature still tastes good, but it’s a pity that it’s too expensive, otherwise it would be eaten every day. Not enough to eat.”
“How could it be?” the first mate said with a smile
"Captain, you have inherited Gray's ship. Every time you go out to sea in the future, you will need thousands of grace coins at least."
"You can eat enough meat!"
"Haha... "Charles laughed:
"That's right!"
"Eat!"
"Drink!"
He waved his hand:
"Don't stop!"
A few people nodded and feasted on the food on the table until Charles lowered his head. Look.
"Do you feel..."
"The ground is shaking?"
"Is it?" The first mate wiped his mouth and said with a smile:
"It's probably because the waves are too big. The waves in the sea have been stronger than in previous years recently. Going to sea is becoming more and more dangerous.”
“Yes!”
The other people nodded.
"That's not right." Charles suddenly threw the table away and his expression changed:
"The ground..."
"Peng!"
Before he finished speaking, the ground suddenly trembled. Dozens of bloodthirsty vines as thick as a child's arm sprang out with lightning.
The bloodthirsty vines covered with spikes spread throughout the room in the blink of an eye, wrapping up all the people present. The spikes pierced the flesh, sucking blood crazily.
The vines that have sucked blood become thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the force of strangulation and hoops becomes stronger.
Blink.
The house almost became a jungle of vines.
“Ah!”
Screams sounded.
A stream of blood splashed out from the gaps in the vines, and the fresh and plump body quickly became shriveled.
"Peng!"
A loud noise came.
Charles' hands were like knives, making crazy choices. The vines around him collided with his arm and was instantly cut by it.
"Who?"
"Come out!"
Combat skill - flaming windmill!
A violent flame emerged out of thin air, like a wheel of choice, driving towards the vines in the field.
"Thunder bang bang..."
All of a sudden.
The vines were ignited by the flames and withered quickly, and the area around Charles suddenly became empty.
A figure hidden among them was also revealed.
Carl!
Karl held the rapier in his hand and stabbed the person to death with a single stab. He looked up in surprise and turned his head.
"Unexpectedly..."
"You are quite strong!"
He took action at night, thinking that he could easily solve the target, but he did not expect that there would be a small trouble.
But.
It’s just a little trouble.
"Is it you?" Looking at Karl, Charles looked surprised at first, and then was covered in rage:
"You are so brave, you dare to come here..."
"Go to hell. !”
He reached out and grabbed the long knife beside him. When the blade lit up, a layer of flame appeared on its own.
“Huh…”
The fiery sword pounced on Karl.
Charles's strength has reached the peak of knighthood, and he has even developed a special martial skill. The long knife in his hand is also equipped with witchcraft materials. Once the fighting spirit is aroused, it will burn with flames.
In the knight stage,
definitely belongs to the top masters!
“Whoosh!”
The long knife struck through the air.
Zero Ring Witchcraft - Secondary Magic Field!
Charles hesitated slightly, and continued to move forward with his long knife.
"Wow..."
A ball of water emerged out of thin air and turned into a huge water ball, completely wrapping Karl in it.
Zero Ring Witchcraft - Bibo Guardian!
The flaming sword came into contact with the water flow, and thick smoke instantly erupted, and its forward speed also slowed down.
“Guna!”
Karl raised his hand.
"Crash..."
Armor protects itself.
“Ding!”
The long knife struck the armor, like a mosquito nailing his body, unable to even shake Karl’s figure.
“Is it just that?”
Karl sighed, seeming to be a little regretful, and then raised his wrist slightly.
prick!
Stab!
Stab!
The sharp sword kept thrusting out, forcing Charles to retreat repeatedly, and a few wisps of blood were wiped out of his body.
At the same time.
The bloodthirsty vine that had dealt with the others twisted its body and rushed towards him.
With Karl's rapier in front and bloodthirsty vines behind him, Charles had no way out in the blink of an eye and could only roar in grief and anger.
“Ah!”
“I’ll fight you!”
“Boom!”
The flames exploded.
No way...
"Poof!"
As the thin sword in Karl's hand pierced the skull, Charles's body fell to the ground with a crash, and everything came to an end.
“As long as it is not an attack at the level of a knight, I don’t need to intercept it at all, the defense is enough to resist it.”
"A peak knight is still a knight!"
Putting away his sword, Karl turned over the body habitually, and then his eyes lit up.
The second day.
“Have you heard?”
Susan crossed her legs and said with a smile:
"Last night, Charles died in his own home, including several of his daily friends."
"Oh!" Karl tied his arm, raised his eyebrows and asked:
“Could it be Miss Lula who did it?”
"This..." Susan's expression froze slightly, and she hesitated before saying:
"Probably not, although others said it was Lula who did it, and Jasper even made a fuss. Chamber of Commerce, but I don’t think it fits her character.”
"And Miss Lula didn't admit it."
"It doesn't matter." Karl chuckled:
"Whoever did it finally gave me a sigh of relief. I don't know if Jas Will Pa cause trouble for me later? ”
"You can rest assured about this." Susan waved her hand:
"The person who killed Charles was a great knight. Jasper knows very well that it has nothing to do with you, and now the Chamber of Commerce is in urgent need of your potion, President It’s impossible to let him do whatever he wants.”
"Miss..."
"Where can I find a great knight?"
It seems that
even she suspects that it was Lula who did it. At least it mattered. Karl smiled lightly and didn't say much.
He is a wounded person now, so this matter must have nothing to do with him.
*

*
Black Swamp.
Isolated island.
"As the saying goes, a man will not be rich without windfall, and a horse will not be fat without night grass. I will not deceive the ancients sincerely!"
Karl said with emotion.
Killing Charles secretly was nothing to him, but the rich harvest was undoubtedly unexpected.
There is a box in the room, which is full of divine grace coins, totaling nearly 10,000.
Tens of thousands of God’s grace coins!
Apart from the great knights, I am afraid that only certain trading forces can take it out in one go.
“With Charles’s character, it is impossible to accumulate so many divine grace coins. It is most likely Gray’s inheritance.”
“Tsk, tsk…”
“After all the effort, I got the inheritance from the previous captain, but it turned out to be advantageous to me. People really can’t do bad things!”
Karl shook his head and clicked his tongue.
Compared to the Divine Favor Coin, he actually values other things more.
"The Furnace Method"
The Furnace Breathing Method is also related to a certain god, and its level is no lower than Karl's Djinn Breathing Method.
Maybe even higher!
The melting pot method is not the melting pot breathing method. It should be just a branch or secret technique of this breathing method.
Similar to the giant spirit breathing method.
“The furnace of heaven and earth, all things can be refined!”
“Eat!”
Karl pursed his lips.
I finally understand why Charles’s hobby is eating, because eating helps him increase his strength.
The better and higher-quality food you eat, the greater it will help improve your physical fitness.
The parts of legendary creatures that have ‘nutritional value’ are more effective than animal pills after being eaten. And unlike animal pills that are resistant to drug resistance and cannot be taken regularly, the flesh and blood can be eaten as food and eaten all the time.
Finally...
"Boom!"
Charles's flaming sword was thrown heavily on the table.
"This thing should be considered a magical weapon, right?"
…………
Half a month later.
Karl's figure appeared at the alliance station.
He was mentally exhausted, but also strangely excited, as if he had completed a certain task.
"Senior Arthur!"
"Karl."
Arthur stretched out his hand to greet:
"Sit down, sit down quickly, you are a rare guest here."
< br>"Senior." Karl took out a porcelain bottle and placed it on the table:
"A few years ago, I got a violent potion from a wandering businessman, but I don't know whether it is authentic or not. Please take a look."
"I will pay the corresponding appraisal fee."
Being a good friend with Adolf, Arthur is naturally also a pharmacist, but he is better at analysis and identification.
In the past half month, Karl has tried to refine the violent potion with the blood of water monkeys. One water monkey can theoretically produce five parts. Unfortunately, his potion refining skills are limited and he can only make one part.
The reason why we wanted to catch the three water monkeys in the first place was to be prepared.
"Violent potion?" Arthur looked surprised:
"This kind of thing rarely comes out, and most of it will be divided up by the royal family, nobles and people from the Holy See."
"Let me see. . ”
He did not take the porcelain bottle directly, but turned around and took a magic object that looked like a microscope.
Then open the porcelain bottle and put it in front of the 'microscope' for observation.
a long time.
“Strange!”
Arthur frowned and said hesitantly:
“It’s not the same as the bottle of violent potion I analyzed before, but it seems to be somewhat similar. "
"Strange...strange..."
"Senior Arthur." Karl straightened his body and asked:
"Can it be used?"
Of course it is different.
His bottle of violent potion uses the blood of water monkeys, which is different from the formula of the Holy See.
The key is,
Does it have any effect?
He only has one bottle of violent potion. If it doesn't work, he will have to wait for several months.
A few months later, the Chamber of Commerce will capture several water monkeys alive.
"It should be usable." Arthur thought for a moment and said:
"Maybe it has been left on hold for too long, and the effect is probably not as strong as that of the Holy See, but Available.”
"Karl..."
"Do you want to become a great knight?"
"Yes." Karl nodded, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and replied:
" My wizard talent is only level four. Even if I have the legacy left by my mentor, I’m afraid I won’t be able to become a high-level wizard apprentice.”
“It’s better to take the path of a knight and maybe touch the realm of a legendary knight. ”
"Heh..." Arthur chuckled and shook his head:
"Legendary Knight, if an ordinary person with no background wants to become a legend, the difficulty is no less difficult than becoming an official wizard."
"Just work hard. It's always right."
"And..." Karl took out two rings from his body and put Charles' knife on the table:
"I plan to sell these things, please. Senior will estimate the price and sell it to the Alliance if it’s suitable.”
"Demonized items!" Arthur looked solemnly:
"Or three items, are you really willing to give up?"
He was not surprised that Carl had so many magical items on his body. He guessed it was Adolf. legacy.
“Alas.” Karl sighed:
“These things won’t be of much use in my hands. Holding them may make people miss them.”
"It's better to sell it and exchange it for magic stones for peace of mind."
"Okay then." Arthur stopped persuading him any more. After all, the things belonged to others, and it was others' freedom to deal with them, and outsiders had no right to interfere.
"The Ring of Summoning Thorns is somewhat damaged."
"The Ring Star Sword is also somewhat damaged..."
"This sword..."
< br>
"It is mixed with some kind of witchcraft material, which can release flames when activated with mental power and fighting spirit."
After carefully evaluating it, Arthur said:
"Because the ring is seriously damaged, So the price is not high, two coins plus It can be given eighteen magic stones."
"This sword is too heavy and is more suitable for knights, so although it is intact, I can only bid ten magic stones."
"A total of ten magic stones. Twenty-eight magic stones!”
He looked up and said:
"If you are willing to sell it to the Alliance, the cost of identifying the violent potion can be waived for you."
Twenty-eight magic stones?
“Sell it!”
Karl nodded heavily and said with some pain:
"Ten of the magic stones, please help me replace them with Weir potion."
What hurts him is not that the items are sold cheaply. After all, they have been used frequently during this period and their potential has been squeezed. The durability is no longer high. Buy So I bought it, but the potion to increase mental power was too expensive, and even a senior wizard apprentice would not be able to take it regularly.
The upgrade of drug addiction is a bit difficult to see at the moment.
"Weir Potion?" Arthur smiled:
"It seems that you still have not given up on the path of being a wizard."
night.
Fragments of the Divine Realm.
Karl held the violent potion in his hand, his expression condensed, he raised his head and drank the potion in one gulp.
Please collect it!
