Chapter 106 Breaking In (Please collect)
A book?
What kind of book?
Everyone participating in the auction could not help but look curious.
A few of them had serious faces and straight bodies, and they should know something about this book.
Perhaps,
their purpose of coming this time is to obtain this high-level magic item.
Control earth and rock!
Under the influence of witchcraft, the earth rose in the middle of the high platform, holding a book in front of the host.
This is a yellowed parchment book.
The cover should be made of a whole piece of carefully tanned and polished sheepskin. The delicate texture is like the precipitation of time.
The ancient golden lines outline complex patterns. After the baptism of time, the patterns still shine with mysterious and charming light.
After just a few more glances, Karl quickly looked away.
In his perception, a strange force lingered on the books, which gave people a warning sign.
“The wizard Duke was a wandering wizard from hundreds of years ago. He loved his wife Athena deeply, but was betrayed and abandoned by Athena.”
The host said:
“In the more than ten years before his death, Wizard Duke wrote this love story with his own soul.”
“And this book also has Mysterious power."
He waved the staff in his hand, and an invisible force opened the cover of the book, revealing the paper inside.
The paper is thin but tough, slightly yellowed, and exudes a faint fragrance of ink and the unique smell of sheepskin.
The fragrance of ink?
Karl’s heart trembled.
How could books written hundreds of years ago still smell like ink? It was obvious that my sense of smell had been distorted by a mysterious force.
The pages of the book are densely filled with ancient texts. The letters seem to be alive, jumping back and forth on the paper, narrating the legends and stories of the two official wizards hundreds of years ago.
Karl subconsciously wanted to see the words above clearly, then suddenly came back to his senses, closed his eyes and stopped looking.
"Wow..."
The host waved the staff again, and the book closed on its own.
Although it only took a few short breaths, many people in the venue were already pale and their eyes were frightened.
This book and the words inside seem to have a strange power that attracts their attention and makes people unable to help but immerse themselves in it.
“Watch out!”
The host warned again:
“Don’t read the contents of this book out of curiosity, or even pay too much attention to it.”
“After identification by a wizard, this book "Duke's Love Story!" creates an illusory world in the book. If the viewer is not strong enough, If you are determined, you will gradually sink into the stories in the book until your soul is taken away by the book, adding some interest to the stories in the book."
He said seriously:
"Hundreds. Over the years, this book has devoured the souls of dozens of people, mostly ordinary people.”
"Of course!"
"If you completely master this book, you can use it to rob other people's souls."
There are many benefits to plundering souls.
For example,
torture secrets, refine certain special magical items, or directly devour and refine them with black magic.
A complete soul can even be sold for a high price.
If you get the soul of a wizard apprentice, it is entirely possible to ask about the wizard's inheritance from the other party.
And this high-level demonized item can rob the soul of a high-level wizard apprentice, which can be said to be very terrifying.
“The starting price is two hundred and thirty magic stones!”
As soon as the host finished speaking, someone raised their hands.
"Two hundred and forty!"
"Two hundred and sixty!"
"..."
The price was quickly raised to three hundred magic stones. Even so, there are no signs of the bidding slowing down.
The ones bidding the most fiercely were the ones whose expressions were different from the others just now. They were obviously prepared.
"Wait for me here."
Alseya glanced not far away, and then whispered to the two of them:
"I have something to go over and will be back soon. ”
“Yeah.”
Amy nodded:
"Go and get busy, we are waiting for you."
She looked excited, still immersed in the excitement of high-level magic items and bidding.
“You two.”
Not long after Althea left, a handsome man approached the two of them and whispered:
“Are you there? Interested in participating in the next small secret meeting? ”
"Secret meeting?"
Amy blinked:
"What secret meeting?"
"Beautiful lady, you should know that the things to be auctioned at the auction need to be Give the black wizard 20% of the net profit." The man smiled:
"And the secret meeting held in private can save this magic stone."
"Usually after the auction, a small secret party will be held. The items in it are not only of high quality but also of low price."
"My name is Cronin. I am responsible for introducing guests to attend and earn a fortune by the way." Order some pocket money."
His voice was gentle and his smile was bright, which made him easy to impress, and Amy couldn't help but become interested.
But she did not forget Althea’s instructions:
“Where is it?”
"Not far." Cronin pointed not far away:
"It's over there. When the auction ends, many people will go there to participate. You two can go together."
< br>“No!”
Before Amy could speak, Karl had already shaken his head:
“We are not interested, please stay away.”
"Huh?"
Cronin was stunned:
"My friend, I mean no harm..."
"Leave!" Karl frowned and his voice became deeper:
“Don’t ask me to tell the organizer here to recruit guests privately, I believe the dark wizard will not be happy either.”
"..." The smile on Cronin's face froze, he grinned awkwardly, and shrugged helplessly:
"Okay!"
Watching Cronin leave, Amy Blinking his eyes:
"Mr. Karl, aren't you interested?"
"Alsea reminded me before coming here not to pay attention to other people's chats." Karl shook his head:
"I just abide by the agreement with her."
"Oh!"
Amy nodded slowly.
Actually,
There is another reason that Karl didn’t say.
Malice!
He felt a malice in Cronin, a deep but pure malice.
Same as sensing the presence of an invisibility cloak.
Karl’s perception is like a radar that may be triggered at any time, and will issue an early warning once something is approaching.
That feeling is very unique.
One moment it was normal, and the next moment a feeling suddenly occurred, and the direction and presence of the feeling were instantly locked.
Ensure immediate response.
‘It seems that there are still many secrets hidden in the bloodline of abyssal creatures, which cannot be fully analyzed by experimental data alone. ’
Althea came back soon. After hearing Amy tell what happened, she couldn’t help but nod and cast an appreciative look at Karl.
“Karl did the right thing!”
"I have heard of Cronin. Although there is no direct evidence that he has done anything harmful to others, there is a high probability that he is a dark wizard."
"Amy!"
"You are too young and have not yet seen the danger and viciousness of people's hearts. Remember not to trust strangers."
"Oh!" Amy nodded blankly.
…………
The paddle swings, pushing the canoe forward.
Today's auction was very satisfying overall. Not only did I see two high-level magic items, I also bought a feather of a young thunderbird.
When we go back and do experimental analysis, we will know whether the feather on our hand belongs to the thunderbird.
If it is...
It is worth at least one hundred magic stones!
When his alchemy skills advance further, he can even use feathers to refine a high-level magic item.
‘The reason why the invisibility cloak is invisible is not because of its refining skills, but because it uses a special witchcraft material. ’
‘If there are suitable materials, I can do it too. ’
‘Duke’s Love Story! ", because it embodies the lifelong obsession of an official wizard. ’
‘Both have their own charms, but it is not the difference in refining techniques, but the difference in raw materials. ’
'I...'
'It may not work! ’
The experience of accumulating hundreds of witchcraft materials is no joke. Thinking of the possibilities in the future, I can’t help but feel nervous.
“Huh?”
Before they even reached the shore, Karl frowned.
‘Someone landed on the island? ’
‘Sibel’s friend? ’
But in a flash he realized something was wrong. Sibel’s friends could not destroy the witchcraft trap by landing.
There is an intruder from outside!
“Whoosh!”
The figure flashes.
Karl stopped close to his residence.
A corpse was lying in the grass, with various injuries all over the body.
Frostbite, fire, poison, corrosion, etc..., many injuries eventually killed him.
In order to hide his secrets and verify what he learned, Carl set up many witchcraft traps on the island.
Especially near where you live.
Many witchcraft materials brought from other worlds have turned into dense witchcraft traps, intersecting and overlapping.
Without understanding, even if a senior wizard apprentice breaks in, half of his life will be lost.
This man died only after he came here, which is already considered remarkable.
“Are you coming for me?”
Karl glanced back. From the signs of damage to the witchcraft trap, it could be seen that this man had gone straight here.
Obviously I came for him.
"When did I offend..."
"Shua!"
Before the voice could finish, a black shadow swept out from under the corpse, and his eyes and perception suddenly brightened.
Pyrotechnics!
The sudden burst of flames not only obscures vision, but even burns perception, causing people to lose control of the outside world in an instant.
With a moment of hesitation, the black shadow approached, holding a slender dagger and stabbed Karl in the throat.
“Whoa!”
The blow that was originally a sure hit came out of nowhere.
The black shadow was stunned.
"Peng!"
The vast fighting energy burst out from Karl's body, and his fist fell from the sky like a giant axe, slamming down diagonally.
The black shadow was blown away without saying a word.
“Who are you?”
Karl's face was gloomy, and he stepped forward to catch up:
"What's the purpose of coming here? Why assassinate me?"
He spread his fingers and clicked with a simple button, but it made people feel helpless. The feeling of being able to hide and being inescapable.
The whistling fighting spirit shrouded downwards like a canopy.
Great Knight!
And he’s also the pinnacle knight!
Heiying’s eyes widened with disbelief on his face. This was completely different from the news he had received before coming.
Fighting with a peak knight at such a close distance...
Dead!
My heart trembled, and a flame suddenly appeared in Heiying's eyes.
Um?
Karl’s eyebrows raised, his forward body suddenly stagnated, and then he quickly retreated at an even faster speed.
The next moment.
"Boom!"
Black Shadow's whole body exploded on the spot, as if there was a high-explosive bomb hidden in his body, and burning flesh and blood flew everywhere.
If Karl hadn't retreated quickly...
It wouldn't be a big problem!
“Who?”
Karl frowned:
“Who wants to deal with me?”
The black shadow is obviously a killer, a dead soldier or something like that.
Knowing that it is impossible to get close to the house, hide under the body of your companion and look for opportunities to make a sneak attack.
Knowing that he was outmatched, he decisively blew himself up.
Judging from the method used, it should be from Cologne. It is said that Cologne specially trained a group of killers.
“I have been in Black Swamp for nearly three years, and I have left the island only a handful of times. When did I offend someone?”
"I chose to land on the island today, obviously knowing that I am not on the island, and not many people know about my itinerary today..."
After turning over the body, Karl's eyes moved slightly:
"This thing ..."
"Auction!"

Black Swamp. edge.
Amy looked panicked and quickly shuttled through the dense forest.
A wisp of breeze surrounded her body, making her move very fast, and she could fly several meters away with a single leap.
"Chiji..."
Above her head, a palm-sized bird kept flapping its wings.
Every time the wings vibrate, Amy's speed increases by one point, but even so, her face is still full of panic.
“Little girl, you can’t run away!”
rear.
Cronin's voice sounded distantly.
The branch broke, Cronin, who was naked to the upper body, smiled ferociously, and shot out like a cannonball when he stepped on it.
One jump is more than ten meters.
Besides him, there is another person behind.
The man was on all fours, like a hound, moving flexibly through the complex terrain of the dense forest.
The two are getting closer and closer to Amy.
"Hehe..."
Looking at the fleeing figure in front of him, Cronin grinned and said:
"You've already come, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you Do you dislike my hospitality?”
"You..." Amy shouted angrily:
"I shouldn't believe you!"
She originally thought Cronin was handsome and gentle, so she felt good about him. After it was over, I specifically found him and wanted to get to know him.
I didn’t expect that.
This man turned out to be a dark wizard!
He had to do something to trick her into a place where no one was around, and the originally sunny smile turned into a ferocious and terrifying one.
If Amy hadn’t had some tricks, she would have lost her life long ago.
"Haha..." Cronin laughed:
"You brought it to me on your own initiative. You can't blame me. I didn't expect you to have a magical creature with you."
“Looks like it’s my turn to make a fortune today!”
Although I don't know the magical creature, it is just a larvae and can provide witchcraft support.
The quality is definitely not low.
It will definitely sell for a big price!
And Amy also has a lot of good things. If she can get it, she won’t have to worry about magic stones for a few years.
“Up!”
After the distance got closer, Cronin stretched out his hand and pressed forward.
Earth zero-ring witchcraft—earth cage!
“Boom!”
The ground trembled, and dozens of railings made of soil emerged from the ground, forming a cage to trap Amy in it.
With the blessing of witchcraft, the soft soil turns into solid rock in an instant.
"Roar!"
The man behind him roared, his body rising and falling, like a cheetah lunging forward.
No!
Not like.
It’s a cheetah!
Bloodline witchcraft!
While in mid-air, his hairy flesh burst through his clothes, and his body grew larger than just one punch.
The five-color hair shows that the leopard has a very unique bloodline and should also be a magical creature.
Not every wizard apprentice wants to become an official wizard.
Quite the opposite.
Most wizard apprentices are very aware of their potential and give up early on to continue working hard.
Just like a blood wizard.
Without legendary creature analysis, there is no hope of advancement.
Since you can't become a formal wizard, it's better to refine the blood of ordinary magical creatures and increase some strength and means.
That’s what ‘Cheetah’ is like.
"Yeah!"
Trapped in a cage and attacked by a cheetah, Amy couldn't help but scream, and wind blades erupted around her body.
The wind blade instantly turned into a tornado and rushed in all directions.
Zero Ring Witchcraft - Secondary Storm!
The violent wind blade tore through everything in front of it, and the solid cage fell apart instantly.
The cheetah that pounced had to retreat temporarily.
“Hmph!”
Cronin snorted coldly:
“It’s this trick again!”
Ordinary secondary storms do not With such great power, Amy obviously relied on the power of magical creatures.
"Peng!"
Cronin rushed forward against the storm, and the surface of his skin was wrapped in rocks at some point.
Cut by the wind blade, the rock cracked into hideous cracks, but it could not stop his movements.
He took three steps and then two steps, rushed to Amy and punched out.
"Peng!"
Amy tilted her head back, her eyes blurred, and fell heavily to the ground. The screaming magical creatures on the side were also shot away.
"Xiaofeng!"
"Do you still care about your pet?" Cronin scattered the rocks on his body, reached out and grabbed Amy's throat:
"You are so caring, I am a little reluctant to do it."
"Unfortunately, if I don't kill you, I will definitely attract revenge, but that woman Orthea is difficult to deal with."
"So..."
"You'd better die!"
As he said this, the strength in his hand became heavier and heavier.
Amy had difficulty breathing and struggled desperately to no avail. Gradually, her face turned blue and her eyes turned white.
‘I’m going to die! ’
'Sister Orseya...'
'I shouldn't have listened to you. It would have been nice if I had listened to you. It would have been nice if I hadn't gone...'
Due to lack of oxygen, her consciousness became increasingly blurred, her struggles became weaker and weaker, and her eyes began to turn dark.
"Peng!"
A muffled sound suddenly came from not far away.
"Who?"
Cronin turned around suddenly and saw a burly figure holding his companion's front and rear limbs with both hands and raising them high.
The figure's arms bulged with muscles and suddenly tugged.
“Poof!”
The ‘cheetah’ in his hand was torn in half, with blood mixed with internal organs pouring down.
The screams stopped abruptly.
How is that possible?
This scene made Cronin's eyes widen.
Companion ‘Cheetah’ is an intermediate wizard apprentice who practices bloodline witchcraft. After fusing the bloodline of magical creatures, his physique is so strong that it can tear steel.
Even facing a knight at the peak level, he can still stay on top.
Now,
it was like a rag doll, being easily torn in half.
Killing the 'Cheetah', the figure swayed and appeared next to Cronin, clenching his fist with five fingers and punching out suddenly.
Earth wall!
"Peng!"
The summoned earth wall exploded instantly, and a figure appeared in front of Cronin.
The chaotic facial features are dark and deep, like a bottomless black hole, swallowing everything.
“Plop!”
“Plop!”
“……”
Cronin's eyes were straight, his body was stiff, his heart was beating rapidly, and an uncontrollable fear came to his mind.
This fear almost destroyed his sanity instantly.
“Ah!”
He screamed uncontrollably and backed away, a glimmer of clarity flashing through his chaotic thoughts.
Witchcraft!
Soul-shattering witchcraft!
Although he realized that something was wrong, no matter how he adjusted his emotions and cast secret spells, it was of no avail.
Fear!
Chaos!
Despair!
Many negative emotions completely overwhelmed reason.
Karl grabbed Cronin's collar with one hand, his eyes glowed with a dark light, looked directly at him and asked:
"Why are you targeting me?"
"Why!"
His voice was low and powerful, echoing in Cronin's ears, impacting his consciousness in waves.
Aura of fear!
"Uh..."
Cronin's body struggled wildly, and his skin, flesh, and soul began to wither as if being burned by fire.
The vitality is weakening rapidly.
Huh?
Karl raised his eyebrows.
The fear aura actually has this effect?
He could clearly feel that as Cronin's vitality faded, his body felt a sense of satisfaction.
It’s like tasting a delicious dish.
There is even a slight increase in mental power.
‘It is said that creatures from the abyss like the fear of others and even feed on fear. Could it be that this ability also appears in me? ’
“It’s you!”
Cronin finally saw Karl’s appearance clearly and opened his mouth, despair and fear slowly filling his eyes.
“Why?” Karl asked in a muffled voice:
“Why target me?”
"No...it's not me." Cronin's face was withered and sunken, and he struggled and demanded:
"Anslot!"
"Yes..."
"Anslot...asked me to do it, please, spare me...spare me."
Anslot?
That friend of Tim's?
Tim has been dead for three years, and his friend is still thinking about revenge against him. This is really...
It is commendable.
“Crack!”
Karl’s eyes shrank, and he used force on his hands to break Cronin’s neck.
Then he skillfully rummaged through the two corpses, took away a few items, and disappeared in a flash.
Not long after.
“Ah!”
Amy’s scream echoed throughout the room.
She struggled to get up from the ground and looked around with a horrified expression, but only saw two corpses.
One was violently torn in half.
A mummy that looked like it had been dug up after being buried underground for decades.
What happened?
Who saved me?
Amy looked at a loss. When she came to her senses, she hurriedly called ‘Xiao Feng’ and hurried towards the distance.
…………
The canoe moved forward slowly in the swamp.
Anslot held a staff that looked like an old man's crutch, leaning on the canoe and looking into the distance.
There was anxiety in his eyes:
“There is no news yet.”
"Master."
The boatman was a knight in armor. After hearing the voice, he said:
"You don't have to worry. Since the Hand of Shadow has absorbed Cologne's fire thieves, its strength has increased." Much better than before.”
“ At the price you paid, even a high-level wizard apprentice might be killed if he's not careful, let alone just asking them to go to an uninhabited island to pick up something?"
"I hope so. "Anslot's eyes changed:
"It's just..."
"I always have an ominous premonition. You also know that I have practiced divination and stargazing, and my premonitions are often very effective."
"This..." The knight hesitated for a moment:
"There is the dark wizard Crow Ning and Shadow Hand are both prepared to deal with a junior wizard apprentice. Master, you will definitely get what you want."
"It doesn't matter if you don't get it, no one will know about you in the future. There are other opportunities.”
"Ha..." Anslot chuckled:
"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be in a hurry, but Carl... has almost never left the island in the past three years."
" If I can’t succeed this time, I don’t know when it will be next time.”
“I can’t wait!”
Three years!
After waiting for three years for a chance, even if he is patient enough, he will still feel impatient.
"That's right." The knight nodded:
"This man is really weird. Even wizard apprentices who are addicted to research rarely go out like him year after year. ”
“Huh?”
“Careful!”
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly drew his sword.
At the same time.
The wooden boat beneath the two men burst open, and a figure with tentacles on its back rushed out of the swamp.
Please give me a monthly ticket!
