Chapter 99: 9 Great Graces (Please collect)
Henry the Eagle is no longer young, his silver hair shines softly under the candlelight, and his face is full of traces of time. Wrinkles bear witness to his honor and vicissitudes.
His posture was already stooped, but he still tried to straighten up, as if in this way he could maintain his former majesty.
But he is old after all.
He is too old to talk back even if he is laughed at.
beside him.
It is Yas who is dressed gorgeously.
Compared with his father's calmness and calmness, Yas's eyes flickered from time to time and he kept looking at the door.
“Here it comes.”
Henry’s ears trembled slightly, and he stepped towards the door to greet him. A smile appeared on his face before he opened his mouth:
"Mr. Karl, welcome to your arrival!"
"Mr. Karl."
Yas saluted respectfully behind him.
“Yas, my friend.” Karl stretched out his hand to support Yas:
“You don’t have to be so polite.”
"Mr. Henry, we meet again."
Karl's attitude made the two of them feel relieved. It seems that the 'apology' these days has worked.
“Sit!”
Henry stretched out his hand and signaled:
“Sit down quickly.”
"I have always disagreed with Baird's decision, but as you know, Carl, I am increasingly speechless in the Scythe Brotherhood."
"Alas!"
He looked helpless. Sighed:
“Not everyone respects the elderly, especially in the Port of Freedom. Old people who have lost their strength deserve to be abandoned.”
Seeing that Carl did not respond, Henry shook his head. Shaking his head, he took out a wooden box.
"Click!"
The lid of the box opens.
There are four great graces inside.
"Four." Karl took the wooden box, his face remained calm, but there were ripples in his heart:
"Only four?"
"A few years ago, the Brotherhood exchanged a super-grade seal from the Archduke's envoy and spent all their savings." Henry said:
"So this is all we have now."
"You You also know that it takes one hundred Great Divine Favors to exchange for one super-grade seal, and the Brotherhood spent many years accumulating it to get one hundred.”
One hundred!
Karl’s fingers trembled slightly and his heart surged.
If he had been given a hundred great graces, he would have already become an official wizard or legendary knight.
The super-grade seal is good, but it can never be worth a hundred divine favors, at least not to him.
But what is the use of Archduke Ferdinand’s great charisma?
Is it possible that
the other party, like me, can extract the essence from the great divine grace and transform it into his own power?
"Actually..."
Yasi's eyes flashed and he spoke in a low voice:
"Maybe there are more, but the second elder Baird is responsible for collecting the great gods. He said that there are only these four. "
"As for how many he has in his hand, only he knows."
Huh?
Karl raised his eyebrows.
"Yasi!"
Henry frowned somewhat displeased. Although he also disliked Baird, he did not want the Scythe Brotherhood to have any more disputes with Karl.
"Karl."
Turning around, he slowed down his voice:
"In addition to the Great Divine Favor, there is also the corpse of half a legendary creature. I have asked someone to send it to the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce."
"I heard that you are collecting these things, so take it as an apology from our brotherhood."< br>
"Yes." Karl nodded:
"Thank you."
"The frost girl is in the kitchen of the Flame Tavern. If it is dealt with in time, she should only be missing a leg. ”
"Yas." Henry said hurriedly:
"Go!"
"Yes." Yas stood up, and when he was about to leave, he remembered something, stopped and asked:
"Karl, the last time we met, you said that I wanted to become a great knight..."
"Do you have a way?"
"Well..." Karl pondered for a moment:
"I had a potion in my hand at the time that could increase the chance of a peak knight breaking through to a great knight."
"Ah!"
“What?”
Hearing this, Yas and Henry’s expressions changed drastically at the same time.
"Really?" Yas's body trembled:
"Karl, are you telling the truth?"
He once wanted to become a great knight, but several attempts failed one after another, and he was already Disheartened.
Now that I heard that there is still a chance, I was so excited that I couldn’t control myself.
Henry thought more.
No wonder!
No wonder Lula and Otis from the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce suddenly became the great knights and turned the situation around in one fell swoop.
So that’s the reason!
He didn’t think Karl was lying, after all, the extra knight couldn’t lie.
But...
This matter is of vital importance to the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce and is related to its future development. It should be kept strictly confidential.
Karl saw the confusion in the other person’s eyes and smiled:
“There were a few bottles of potion at that time, but there are none now.”
That’s it!
Henry suddenly realized.
Without the potion, naturally we don't care whether it is kept secret or not.
“Ah!”
Yasi had a look of regret on his face, and couldn’t help but feel annoyed when he thought about what he had missed.
If I had asked a few more questions...
If I could have been given a bottle of potion...
well!
He looked depressed and seemed to have lost his soul.
"Mr. Karl."
Henry said tentatively:
"Can this potion be refined again?"
right!
As soon as his eyes lit up, he stared at Karl, hoping to hear a word of wisdom from him.
"This..." Karl hesitated:
"That's not possible at the moment."
"However, if there is a chance to refine it in the future, I will definitely do it first. Notify both of you.”
"Okay!" Before Henry could speak, Yas had already said:
"Mr. Karl, please don't forget to inform me."
"Definitely."
Karl Smiling and nodding.
He doesn't mind doing business with the Scythe Brotherhood or the Poseidon Order, and he even planned to do so.
His goal is to use the 'violent potion' to search for the great grace of the entire Freeport.
As for the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce...
As long as he can become an official wizard or legendary knight, other people's opinions are irrelevant.
Henry touched his chin.
He could hear what Karl meant.
It is difficult to make that kind of potion, but it is not impossible. The implication is that it is not cheap.
Price?
As long as you can become a great knight, you can negotiate any price.
Is God a favor?
It's time for you to think of a way to get the great grace.
…………
Farewell to the two of them.
Karl boarded the carriage and took out the Great Divine Favor.
There are four here, plus the five given by Lula, there are nine in total.
The transformation of nine great divine graces into source matter can provide him with mental power or physical fitness that requires him to practice hard for several years.
"When the Water Monkey arrives at the shore, refines the violent potion, and sells it in the Port of Freedom, the great divine grace will continue to flow into my hands."
"Official wizard!"
"Legendary Knight!"
Karl pursed his lips and smiled, feeling comfortable and having a smooth future, and even his thoughts became more flexible.
“Hey!”
Aya gently pulled the reins and stopped the carriage.
"Uncle Carl, what seems to be happening in front of you?"
"Oh!"
Carl opened the car curtain and cast his eyes forward, but he couldn't see clearly yet Situation frowned first.
This fog...
There's a problem!
It is abnormal to focus his fighting spirit on his eyes and not be able to see the situation ten meters away.
Ordinary fog cannot block the sight of the great knight at all.
“It was not like this yesterday!”
Getting off the carriage, Karl moved forward.
At the corner of the street, several figures were lying there squirming back and forth, not knowing what they were doing.
"Da..."
Karl's steps stagnated, and his expression gradually became gloomy.
"Uncle."
Aya stopped the carriage and followed quickly, walked towards the corner, and shouted:
"What are you guys doing?"
"Ah!"
Before she could finish her words, she was so frightened by the scene in front of her that she screamed, and her face instantly turned pale.
But I saw the figure lying on the ground, covered in blood, and several broken corpses scattered on the ground.
The woman's head rolled to the side, the baby's body was hollowed out from the chest, and a severed arm fell into the mud.
Eat people!
Something is eating people!
Although she has seen many miserable scenes, eating human flesh still challenges her ability to bear it.
"Hiss..."
Aya's voice startled the lying figures, who all turned around and looked, making a strange hissing sound from their mouths.
"What is this?"
The 'monster' in front of me has a human body shape and appearance, but its skin color is dark blue and there are fish scales in some places.
The eyes are like cold blades, flashing with ferocity, madness, and bloodthirsty, without any sense.
They are like monsters from the deep sea. They are even covered with water plants and have a fishy smell of the sea.
Serman?
"Aya."
Karl said in a muffled voice:
"Come back."
"Yes."
Aya's throat rolled and she stepped back step by step. .
"Hiss..."
"Whoa!"
The monster lying on the ground obviously did not intend to let her go. It screamed strangely and jumped towards her quickly.
They have slender bodies, strong muscles, and amazing explosive power.
Under the cover of the thick fog, it was like a series of incoming sharp arrows, which also made Aya's breath stagnant.
But she wasn't afraid.
Because she knew very well that she would not be harmed.
"Buzz..."
Invisible power fluctuations emerged from behind, covering the entire place in an instant, including several incoming monsters.
Secondary magic field!
Gravity twist!
"Peng!"
The monsters that rushed towards them seemed to have hit an invisible wall, falling straight towards the ground.
After becoming a senior wizard apprentice, Carl inspired the zero-ring wizard, which can exert several times the power on his opponents.
Knight,
Easily suppressed.
Although these monsters have a ferocious aura, they are at best knight attendants and are far less powerful than knights.
If the power of witchcraft is concentrated...
Karl holds it with one hand.
“Boom!”
Invisible power fell from the sky, and the ground in front suddenly shook, sinking half a foot downwards.
"Peng!"
The monster's body couldn't bear the pressure and exploded on the spot, turning into a pile of bloody pulp.
Karl retracted his palm with a gloomy expression.
‘Not only does it affect sight, but also hearing, perception, and even the spider sense becomes slow. ’
"This fog..."
'What's going on? ’
“Let’s go!”
Karl stepped forward:
“Look around.”
"Yes."
Aya responded and turned around to lead the carriage.
"Don't worry about the carriage." Karl shook his head and said in a solemn voice:
"I have an ominous premonition."
Although I have never learned stargazing or divination, But the senior wizard apprentice's premonition is also not weak.
…………
Dock.
The stone steps here are scattered and the buildings are old and elegant. The materials are mainly stone and wood.
Usual.
There is an endless stream of ships on the sea, the sails are making noise, and the boatmen and sailors are shouting constantly.
There are mountains of goods on the shore, and workers are busy moving them.
The busyness here not only supplies the people of the entire Freeport, but also transports it to other cities.
I don’t know how many thousands of people’s lives depend on this pier.
And now.
Dead silence!
The busyness of the past is no longer there, only broken ships and pale corpses floating quietly on the water.
The house collapsed.
The contents of the warehouse poured onto the ground.
Various utensils, materials, and supplies were scattered all over the ground, and the broken flag swayed slightly in the sea breeze.
“Pah!”
"Paji..."
There was a strange sound somewhere. A shark that was gnawing at the corpse raised its head, its fish-like eyes rolled, and then suddenly sprang out.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
More and more sharks appeared all over the dock, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a wave and rushed towards the residential area of Freeport.
Soon.
“Ah!”
“Monster!”
“Run away!”
Screams and exclamations resounded, but covered by the thick fog, they could not spread too far.
"Boom!"
The water surface surged.
Huge tentacles protruded from the water, pulling houses one after another, and slowly climbed out of the hill-like body.
Dozens of weird spiders emerged from under the tentacles. The joints on their bodies seemed to be made of wood. They climbed up and made a clicking sound. They flickered and disappeared from the scene.
Twisted monsters emerged from the soil. They moved slowly, like creeping sludge, leaving behind streaks of mucus wherever they passed. The mucus corroded everything, including stone and steel.
A variety of weird monsters emerged from the sea one after another, approaching the Port of Freedom step by step.
…………
Poseidon Society’s stronghold.
Compared to the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce and the Scythe Brotherhood, the Poseidon Guild's stronghold is closest to the Endless Sea.
Also the first to be hit.
“Boom!”
With a loud noise, the door of the Poseidon Club was knocked open, and countless mermaids swarmed in.
“Stop them!”
“Kill!”
As one of the three major forces in Freeport, the Poseidon Society not only has the recognized top master among the great knights, but also has many knights and knights' attendants.
With the cry of killing, the heavily armed knights rushed out from the depths of the station and killed the attacking sharks.
At the top of walls, fortresses, and in dark spots everywhere, archers holding bows and arrows rapidly moved their bowstrings, and arrows fell like heavy rain.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Rows of sharks fell to the ground.
A variety of large and powerful crossbows were also brought out. Crossbow arrows as thick as an arm can easily penetrate the steel plate.
The Renzhu Jinnu kept spraying steel arrows, killing the mermaids on the ground.
But...
“Too many!”
"President!"
Someone yelled:
"There are too many monsters, we can't hold them back!"
It took just a moment to rush into the station. There are thousands of sharks in the area, and they are even more densely packed behind them.
At least tens of thousands!
To know.
Every mermaid is comparable to a knight's attendant, and a knight's attendant who knows no pain and is not afraid of death.
A knight was surrounded by three or five sharks and could not escape.
Tens of thousands of sharks are a disaster that can subvert survival for the entire Freeport.
What’s more,
The number of sharks is probably more than tens of thousands!
“Where did they come from?”
Hoke looked gloomy and came to the high platform with a trident in hand, raising his eyes to look at the battlefield below:
"With so many monsters appearing in the Endless Sea, close to the dock, how come there is no news?"
"During this period, many ships have mysteriously lost contact, but..." the vice president said Confused face:
"Who would have thought this would be the case?"
Yes!
Who would have thought that there would be so many mermaids in the endless sea, and no one would know about them?
Where were they hidden before?
“Boom!”
There was a loud bang coming from the west wall.
Under the light of the torch, a water centipede more than ten meters long crashed through the wall and rushed into the crowd.
The body of the water centipede glows with a strange oily sheen. Arrows will be bounced away instantly when they land on it, and its countless claws and jaws poke out. As long as it catches one person, it means that one person will die.
Even a knight is no exception.
“Legendary creature!”
Hawke's expression changed, and a stream of water appeared out of thin air under his feet, pushing him towards the west of the station.
The trident in his hand is said to come from a lost civilization and has the magical ability to control water flow.
Coupled with the super-grade seal - water explosion.
Let Hawke defeat the Dragon King Qi Molman and the Blood Scythe Yaheng and become the number one master in the realm of great knights.
Even has the ability to fight legendary creatures alone.
"Go!"
Hold in a low voice, Hawke waved his trident fiercely.
The body of the raging water centipede suddenly stagnated, and streams of water appeared out of thin air, wrapping around its body like chains.
“Explosion!”
“Boom!”
It was like thousands of bombs exploding, the water flow surged, and the impact force opened the carapace of the water centipede and tore the flesh and blood inside.
"Squeak..."
The severe pain caused the water centipede to scream upwards, and the carapace above its head glowed red, which actually looked a bit like a human face.
The huge human face was full of anger, and he turned over and rushed towards Hawke.
“Centipede with a human face?”
Hawke's eyes shrank:
"Why are they so big?"
*
*
*
The fog is getting thicker and thicker.
“Peng!”
An incoming shark exploded on the spot, turning into blood all over the sky.
Karl put away his palms and looked solemn.
“So many?”
He originally thought that it was just some aliens from the sea who took advantage of the thick fog to come ashore and secretly killed people and ate them, but the current situation was obviously wrong.
Too many!
In this slum, there are sharks in every alley, killing people and then eating the corpses of the residents.
The fog is too thick.
There are so many murders happening, but no one notices!
Perhaps it was because there was never a shortage of fighting in Freeport, perhaps because no one expected so many ferocious sharks to come ashore, or perhaps because someone was already resisting but Karl didn't know it.
In short,
This slum is by no means the only one with sharks.
“Let’s go!”
Thinking around, Karl waved:
"Go back to the Chamber of Commerce."
"Yes."
Aya nodded hurriedly. What she saw along the way made her face pale and her body even colder.
“Wait a minute!”
Just as he was about to leave, Karl suddenly stopped and pressed his hands on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
His face was solemn.
Throughout this journey, he had never touched a sword, and he could easily defeat his opponents by just using sorcery.
And now...
"Shua!"
A black shadow sprang out from the distance, just two flashes, and appeared in front of the two people across a hundred meters away. before.
The black shadow clenched his fist with five fingers and struck straight out.
"Boom!"
The huge power and extreme speed caused the air in front of the fist to squeeze and vibrate, setting off a hurricane.
"When..."
The two broad swords crossed and blocked in front of the fist. The point of contact burst out with energy, and a figure flew back close to the ground.
It's Carl!
He looked surprised, his hands trembled slightly, and his feet plowed two deep ravines in the ground.
What a powerful force!
“Whoa!”
The person didn’t stop there. After one blow, he approached again and struck out a series of afterimages with his fists.
The air was forcefully blasted out into air pillars.
"Wow..."
A gulf of water appeared out of thin air and instantly turned into a ball of water, with several invisible force fields falling down.
The figure's speed suddenly dropped.
Serman?
The incoming figure was similar in appearance to the shark he encountered just now, but his body was thicker and taller.
He is more than three meters tall, like a small giant.
The body surface is covered with more scales, and even the face shows fish scales.
The speed and power of the explosion are even more exaggerated, far exceeding that of ordinary knights, and may even be able to compete with the peak knights.
But even the peak knight will be reduced to an ordinary knight after several rounds of witchcraft suppression.
"Open!"
Secret skill - giant transformation!
Karl's body shook, his shoulders shook, and he instantly transformed into a huge giant more than five meters tall.
The physique has also changed from an ordinary knight to a peak knight.
One waxes and wanes.
Combat Skill - Divine Judgment!
"Boom!"
The two swords crossed and chopped down. The condensed fighting spirit combined with the petrification technique collided with the burly shark.
“Peng!”
“Peng Peng!”
The sharks are extremely powerful, and are not afraid of pain or death. They will definitely be able to hold the upper hand when encountering other great knights.
However,
he met Karl.
“Poof!”
The giant sword fell again. The shark raised his arm to block, but he did not realize that his arm was already showing signs of being petrified.
moment.
The arm shattered and the body was chopped to the ground heavily.
“Death!”
Karl shouted, and the giant sword stabbed down from top to bottom, directly pinning the burly shark to the ground.
“Let’s go.”
Putting away his sword, Karl shrank his body, grabbed the neck of the shark's corpse, and jumped forward:
"Go back to the station!"
On the way back.
Screams and wails came one after another. Even if they were covered by the fog, they couldn't stop reaching their ears.
There seemed to be no peaceful place in the entire Freeport. Even the tavern where Henry and Yas met had turned into ruins at some point.
Chaos!
A complete mess!
Residence of the Chamber of Commerce.
Lula and others have already gathered together.
No matter how slow he is, he realizes that something is wrong now, but the fog makes it difficult to transmit the message.
Fortunately, there are many experts here and it is far away from the coastline, so there are not many sharks around yet.
…………
Fragments of the Divine Realm.
Karl appeared with a bunch of things, and just when he was about to make a move, a dazzling white light suddenly lit up in front of his eyes.
“Boom!”
The white light was like a tide, sweeping in and receding quickly.
If it weren't for the stress response in his eyes, he would have thought that what just happened was an illusion.
“What’s going on?”
Karl was stunned.
After so many times in and out of the God Realm fragments, he had never encountered such a situation, but he came back to his senses instantly.
Corpse!
The corpse of the burly shark!
The white light swept across, and nothing else responded. Only the shark's body quietly decomposed and dissipated.
It seems to be repulsed by the fragments of the divine realm.
A realization came to my mind.
"Polluted by the evil god?"
"So, everything corroded by the power of the evil god will be attacked by the fragments of the divine realm?"
"Are these sharks born because of the power of the evil god?"< br>
Karl touched his chin, pondered for a moment, then took out the Great Divine Grace, and all his thoughts were transformed into source matter.
Name: Carl
Physique: 3.84
Mental power: 3.29
Essence: 0.9
“If you use the source of quality in your physique, you can become a peak knight, and your strength can be increased a lot. , the physique value after giant transformation can even exceed five, which is comparable to the legendary knight."
"If you add spiritual power, the power of zero-ring witchcraft and super-grade seals will increase. The key is..."< br>
Karl's eyes flashed, and then his thoughts condensed.
In an instant.
The mental power column flickered slightly, directly changing from 3.29 to 3.74.
A part of the spiritual power that was originally uncontrollable in the inner sea of the spirit naturally became its own under the influence of the source of matter.
It is like compressing the mental power that originally took many years to accumulate into a moment.
The magic of sefirah amazes people every time.
“To increase mental power, you can try to practice the witchcraft of bloodline wizards. As long as you get started with witchcraft, your physical fitness will naturally improve.”
“If you specifically improve your physical fitness, 0.45 mental power will be achieved according to the current progress. It will take at least five or six years of hard work."
"Can't wait!"
Shaking his head, he walked out of the God Realm fragment.
Lula and others were discussing matters in the hall.
“The fog is too thick, even people who are familiar with the terrain can easily get lost, not to mention being wary of monsters.”
“The current news is too mixed and confusing.”
< br>"Some people say that the pirate island Thor Tuga Island has been turned into ruins, and some people say that there are no ships sailing in the endless sea."
"The Poseidon Society's station has been captured. According to those who escaped, the number of sharks is at least tens of thousands... ”
"The situation of Poseidon President Hawke is temporarily unknown."
"The Scythe Brotherhood sent people over to inquire about the situation. We are still confused. What can we tell them?"
"In short... ”
“Freeport is in trouble this time!”
Karl did not participate in the discussion. Everyone’s discussions and various news fell into his ears, making his face become more and more gloomy.
He doesn't want anything to happen to Freeport at all. If something happens...
Great Divine Grace!
My great grace!
