Chapter 125: Calculation (Please collect)
A few days later.
Analysis!
A faint halo emerged from Karl's palm, covering several bottles of potions in front of him, and then he said:
"The antidote potion is of medium quality and meets the requirements."
"The purchase price is a total of seventeen magic stones. Keep the receipt and exchange it for magic stones next month."
The quill on the side was dipped in ink, and he wrote the receipt on the triple paper, and Give one of them to the alchemy apprentice.
One of the other two is left in the shop, and one is given to the wizard Archie for reconciliation.
The medicine purchased by the drug store will not be paid at the time, but will be delivered one month later.
This can effectively alleviate the financial pressure on drug stores, and it is also the credibility that drug stores gain after they develop.
"Thank you!"
The apprentice looked excited, took the receipt with both hands raised, put it away carefully, and then said goodbye and left.
“Not bad.” Charlie, who was sitting aside, nodded:
“Junior brother Carl has practiced the analytical technique very well, but he is a little inexperienced and not familiar with the medicine here. "
"Yes." Karl controlled the mage's hand to send the potion into the warehouse and said:
"I didn't expect that there are dozens of antidote potions. The witchcraft materials here are so enviable."
"Haha..." Charlie laughed:
“It should be said that this is the normal situation. "
"The brilliance of the gods in the Eastern Kingdom is too dazzling, and even the existence of the star realm is isolated."
Without the extraordinary seeds scattered in the star realm, nature will not be born. Various magical creatures and countless materials.
He stood up.
"This will reassure me that the store can operate normally even if it is handed over to you."
"Next, I will help you gradually become familiar with the account books. Part of the store's income must be turned over to the high Part of it is the tax of the Capet family, and the rest is the wages of the employees and our income.”
As he spoke, he patted Karl on the shoulder and walked toward the market, obviously relieved. Take the burden off.
Midnight.
Carl returned to the backyard after a busy day.
The wizard Archie always lives in the wizard tower and rarely comes back; although Charlie did not marry and have children here, he raised several women and had a fixed residence.
So,
The backyard of the store currently belongs to Karl alone, and is used as a guard to prevent anyone from stealing things in the warehouse.
A disk the size of a washbasin was placed in the middle of the courtyard, with complex runic marks engraved on it.
Astrolabe!
This is a magical item that can mobilize various witchcraft traps, somewhat similar to the formation disk in Karl's memory.
The astrolabe receives the power of the star world and uses the magic stone to activate it, covering the entire medicine shop inside.
As long as a stranger tries to sneak in, he will be attacked by various witchcraft.
Of course.
The consumption is not small either.
Maintaining the most basic operation of the astrolabe requires eight magic stones every month, and the consumption is even greater when encountering enemies.
Whether it is an astrolabe or other magical items, it can be seen that the path of wizards here is far more developed than that of Black Swamp.
After checking the astrolabe, Karl walked to the study room. There were several thick books on the table.
The current situation of the Enchanted Forest is recorded in the book.
‘The Enchanted Forest is vast, and there are not many places suitable for human survival, and they are scattered in every corner of the Enchanted Forest. As a result, there has been no unified force for countless years. ”
“Similar to the Leipzig Market managed by the Capet family, there are several others in the Magic Forest. ’
‘Every family and force that can control the market has at least one second-ring wizard sitting in charge. '
'The strongest Weiting family is in charge of four bazaars and has a three-ring wizard. However, this three-ring wizard has not shown up for decades. Many people speculate that he has passed away. Or went to far away places. '
'The Six-ring Tower, White Fang Castle and Secret Order from Kalim Continent have a special status here. Although they are not strong, they have strong backers behind them, so other forces cannot easily Will provoke, the three major organizations are secretly connected, and there is also a second-ring wizard. ’
Karl stopped flipping through the books and was thoughtful.
‘In other words, the key to judging whether a force is strong or not is whether there is a second-ring wizard sitting in it. ’
Second-level wizards can live for five hundred years under normal circumstances. If they practice special witchcraft, they can even live for thousands of years.
For example, the gray robe wizard Addison could have lived a thousand years if he had not sacrificed himself.
So as long as there is a second-level wizard, it can almost guarantee the prosperity of a family for hundreds of years.
It would take several hundred more years to cultivate a second-ring wizard among future generations, and the family legacy could continue.
“Weird!”
Frowning slightly, Karl shook his head gently:
“Even if the environment is not suitable, facing various dangerous threats in the magic forest, the unified world Power can obviously increase the survivability of ordinary people and wizard apprentices. Why has it not been possible to unify for thousands or even tens of thousands of years? "
"Geographical reasons cannot stop the trend of unification."
"Is it possible..."
"In such a long time, there has not been an amazing and talented person in the Magic Forest?"
I was puzzled, but I also learned from the book No answer.
Instead of caring about the general trend, it is better to care about those around you.
Sixth Ring Tower!
The Six-Ring Tower is the top force in Kalim Continent, and being an apprentice of the Six-Ring Tower is even more of an honor.
Similarly.
In the eyes of the wizards of the Sixth Ring Tower, the Magic Forest is a dangerous, barren and wild place.
No one wants to come over.
Just like the children of wealthy families in the capital, how many are willing to go to the countryside and stay there for thirty years?
The group of people from Black Swamp came because they had no choice, and they came from a worse place.
“The Star Gate will open next year. Because of our group of people coming, the Six-ring Tower will no longer send disciples here.”
“They made a good plan and used the Six-ring Tower to The identity of Huan Gao Tower allows the people from Black Swamp to replace the real disciples."
"But..."
"There is a shortage of people!"
"Severe shortage of people!"
Karl looked out the window, his eyes twinkling.
The Sixth Ring Tower owns four hills that are under development and has tens of thousands of ordinary people responsible for felling trees.
The real managers are no more than thirty people.
There are also shops in the market, but just like Carl guarding a shop alone, there is also a shortage of people.
For this reason, we had to recruit local people like Simon to help handle the business.
Even so, there is still a shortage of people. For example, Carl needs to keep an eye on the store during the day and has no time to practice.
“Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other!”
Karl thought thoughtfully:
“Although the environment here is a bit harsh, as a disciple of the Sixth Ring Tower, I can In the eyes of the natives of the Enchanted Forest, he has the same status, and no one dares to provoke him easily.”
"The lack of people is also a good thing. It means that there is no one to monitor and the degree of freedom is very high. As long as you get used to it, life should be easier."
…………
Fragments of the God Realm.
In order to prevent being discovered, Carl has never entered the God's Domain fragment since he came to the Magic Forest.
Do not step inside until you are sure that no one will notice.
"Yeah!"
Quincy's memory is still permeated in the fragments of the God's Domain. As soon as he came here, his consciousness was shocked.
He shook his head helplessly, and Karl took out the witchcraft knowledge from the dimensional cage and slowly opened it on the stone seat.
Dimensional cage!
Gradeless witchcraft.
After completing it, you can use your mental power to build a maze to trap and kill the soul body that invades your consciousness.
The power of witchcraft is related to the strength of spiritual power and the complexity of building a maze, and its origin is mysterious.
“Build this witchcraft first, otherwise you won’t be able to do anything.”
The ever-present impact of memory will affect even your absolute sanity, which makes those who build spell models The process was repeatedly frustrated.
Coupled with the sounds of busy shops during the day, the time to build spell models is shorter.
first.
Karl tasted the difficulties of practicing witchcraft.
Fortunately, he has been studying relevant knowledge recently, so he can catch up.
Half a month later.
“Out!”
Karl drank in a low voice, and a bright light appeared above the fragments of the God's Domain, forming a complex maze.
Quincy’s memory floating in the fragments of the God’s Realm is like a long whale sucking water, and it is thrown towards the maze above.
After falling into the maze, it turned into a point of light and wandered around in disorder.
“Huh?”
“Can you still escape?”
The maze is not complicated, and it is possible for a light point wandering in it to escape even if it lacks intelligence.
Karl touched his chin and thought for a moment, and the maze above him immediately changed.
In his memory, there was a man named Herbert Simon, who had made outstanding contributions in the field of artificial intelligence. Some people created many extremely complex mazes based on his theories and techniques.
The most common maze is a flat maze, with various obstacles used to confuse people inside and influence them to come out.
Further up, there is a three-dimensional maze, the complexity of which increases exponentially.
And if you add some mathematical formulas, there is almost no possibility of escaping from it.
What Karl has to do is to replicate the complex maze system.
Fortunately, his mental power was quite strong, so modifying the maze did not cost much, and it was completed soon.
Finally.
The impact of memories filled with fragments of the divine realm disappeared, and the long-lost peace came to mind.
"What a pity!"
Karl whispered:
"The dimensional cage cannot be completely sealed, otherwise, a complete seal will be an endless cage."
"Next... …”
“Verify your ideas”
In the beginning.
Karl only used the fragments of the God's Domain as a warehouse and a passage to travel to other worlds.
Gradually.
Find out other functions.
For example: data panel, using source matter to increase one's own strength, etc.
And later.
From the knowledge of the gods, I learned that the fragments of the divine realm can be used as wishing machines and machines for harvesting souls.
So...
Can all wishes come true?
What are the different prices for different wishes?
.........
Simon, who was dressed luxuriously, walked slowly down the long street with a scepter in hand, tapping his palm from time to time.
“Simon!”
On the second floor of the street tavern, a hairy man opened the window sash and waved his hand to say hello:
“Old friend, I have nothing to do. If so, why not come up and sit down?”
"Fela!" Simon moved his hands, his eyes flashed, and he turned to the second floor.
“I heard that there is a new person in Wizard Archie’s shop.” The big man Fela took the initiative to fill up the store and said with a smile:
“I have said it before, the Sixth Ring Tower Most people look down on locals like us. Even if you try to please us, you are still an outsider.” His hands were even more bulging with veins.
"You're not much better." He snorted coldly:
"You are running around with the young master of the Cape family, aren't you being driven around like a dog?"
"Haha..." Fela laughed:
"My brain is not good, but if I can stay with the Cape family, at least my life will be okay."
"I will be old in the future. ”
"Where are you?"
He picked up the wine glass and looked at Simon:
"You are much smarter and more capable than me, but you are with the wrong person, the thing from the Sixth Ring Tower. Never give it to outsiders.”
“Peng!”
The wine glass in Simon’s hand shattered.

"Mr. Carl."
Salesperson Tracy came to her side and spoke in a low voice:
"The inventory of healing potion is running low. In another two or three days, I'm afraid there will be a shortage."
"Healing potion?" Karl, who was lying on a soft chair with his eyes closed and meditating, opened his eyes. He asked:
"The one that Ms. Yelu is responsible for supplying?" The magic forest is very dangerous. It's not a bad thing to be near the market. There are dangers hidden everywhere outside.
But whether it is food or practice resources, you need to go to the forest to find them. It often takes a long time to go back and forth. Of course, healing potions are always available.
"Yes."
Tracy nodded:
"The goods were supposed to arrive seven days ago, but they never arrived. They said there were some problems at home."
"..." Karl sat up straight:
"Recently, the pharmacists who supply goods have had a lot of problems!"
In addition to Ms. Yelu, there are several pharmacists who failed to supply goods in time or delayed their supply.
It didn’t matter at first.
Now,
it has begun to affect the normal operation of the store.
“It seems that one pharmacist cannot be responsible for all the medicines, otherwise it will be easy to be influenced.”
Standing up, Karl said:
"I'm going to ask Brother Charlie. He should know other pharmacists who refine healing potions."
"Peng!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a muffled sound from the door, and the outer door shook a few times.
“Profiteer!”
"Shameless profiteer!"
Someone shouted in front of the store:
"Shameless profiteer who killed people, used invalid and inferior elixirs as high-quality products, and killed my brother!"
“Archie’s shop, this is a murderous shop!”
“…”
Shops in the market have to pay a certain management fee every month, and of course this money will not go in vain.
The Capet family inspectors quickly rushed to the scene and took control of the two shouting knights.
But things fermented quickly.
The shouts attracted many people to watch, and with a few simple words, the target was directed at Archie's pharmacy.
“What’s going on?”
Karl walked out with a gloomy face and looked at the two knights kneeling in front of the shop:
"Troublemaker?"
"We are not here to make trouble!" One of the knights raised his head with angry eyes. It seems that the blood vessels in the neck are bulging:
“The blood-restoring potion I bought from you didn’t work at all, causing my brother to die outside.”
“His body is right here. We are here to demand justice!”
The stinking corpse was lying in front of the shop. Of course Karl was not aware of it, and his face became increasingly ugly.
"Mr. Karl."
The inspector said:
"If you have nothing to ask, we will drive him away. There must be no chaos in the market. "
"Wait a minute." Karl looked up and asked:
"Why do you say that the blood-restoring potion you used came from our store?"
"What?" The other party's eyes widened:
"Are you still going to deny it?"
Him He struggled to take out a few bottles of potions from his arms, which were still on the ground, and shouted:
“These are potions bought from your store, and they have your logo on them. Don’t even think about denying them!”
Karl picked up the potion on the ground, examined it briefly, and frowned slightly.
It is indeed a potion sold in the store.
Moreover,
It has indeed expired.
It even has a certain degree of toxicity. If taken at a critical moment, not only can it not save people, but it can also kill people.
"What's going on?"
At this time, Charlie hurried over after hearing the news. After seeing the potion in Karl's hand, his eyes changed slightly, and then he shouted loudly:
"Take the person Get away, you are so brave, you dare to come to an official wizard's shop to cause trouble."
"Get out!"
He signaled the inspector to take the person away, and he gave it to Carl. With a wink, he walked towards the store.
"Profiteer!"
"Murderous profiteer!"
"Ah..."
Outside, the roaring sound is getting farther and farther, but it is the whispers and murmurs of passers-by. Didn't stop.
“What’s going on?”
Charlie sat down with a gloomy expression:
"Is there something wrong with the potion?"
"...Yes." Karl sighed helplessly and handed over the potion in his hand:
"It is indeed sold in our store, but Brother Charlie, I have checked every potion that comes in. There is absolutely no problem at that time."
Potions cannot be opened. Once opened, there will be irreversible changes. So it is the original potion.
Charlie took it, inspected it briefly and put it aside.
"Things have already happened. It is useless to say this. How to deal with it next is the key."
"The reputation of the mentor cannot be affected."
"Junior Brother Karl !”
His voice sank slightly:
"You were brought here by the mentor himself. I hope you won't disappoint him."
"...Yes."
Karl lowered his head.
…………
Leaving the bustling Leipzig market and walking not far away, it was like entering another world.
Various houses are intertwined with each other, streets of different sizes are like a maze, and the pedestrians on the road are even more rudimentary.
From time to time,
skinny children can be seen playing in the mud puddles.
For a while.
Karl was actually in a trance, feeling that he had arrived at the Port of Freedom, that chaotic and disorderly place.
"There are very few places where food can be grown in the Magic Forest. If you want to get food, you must go into the mountains and hunt all kinds of dangerous creatures."
The store guard 'Jay' is a great knight. He understands Carl's origins. He explained in a low voice:
“So the living conditions of the indigenous people here are not good.”
Karl nodded slowly.
His life in the Wizard Tower and the market was as convenient as the modern society he remembered from his previous life.
Clothing, food, housing and transportation are all very convenient.
And here,
it is simply medieval Europe.
Two completely different eras come from the same place, just because there is a gap in absolute strength between them.
Only a very small number of people can actually live in the market, and most of them live in such slum-like places.
"Let's go!"
Not long after walking along the muddy path, the two stopped in front of a relatively spacious courtyard.
“Sir.”
‘Jie’ whispered:
“This is it.”
"Yeah."
Karl nodded, waved his long sleeves lightly, and an invisible force tore the face apart on the spot.
The hand of the secondary mage!
“Boom!”
“Who?”
The loud noise made the people in the yard restless, and a white-bearded wizard looked toward the door with a staff in his hand.
After seeing Karl, his expression changed slightly and then returned to normal.
"Mr. Carl."
"Why are you here?"
"Harold!" Carl looked gloomy and threw two bottles of expired health recovery potions at the other party. Underfoot:
"This is a potion purchased from you. How do you explain it?"
"There is something wrong with my potion?" Harold picked up the potion and after a brief inspection, anger appeared on his face:
< br>"Mr. Karl, why do you say this is the medicine taken from me?"
< br> "Because the amount of blood-recovering potion is large, the drug store has three pharmacists supplying it. In order to prevent mistakes, I have marked each potion provided by you." Karl snorted:
" Harold, do you think it’s okay if you don’t admit it?”
This was to facilitate reconciliation. The suggestion he made to Charlie was unexpectedly used here.
"Even if it is, so what?" Harold's expression changed slightly, and then his tone became tough again:
"There is absolutely nothing wrong with the potion I provided. It was also inspected by you at the time. Something went wrong now, who knows what happened? "
"Dad! "
At this time, a fat and exaggerated woman squeezed out of the room, grinning. Mouth:
"When will the roast suckling pig I want arrive?"
"Go back!" Harold's face darkened:
"I didn't see dad busy with business."
"No!" The woman shook her body, her body trembling with fat, even the loose robe could not cover it:
"I want to roast suckling pig, I want to roast suckling pig..."< br>
?
Karl frowned slightly, his eyes glowing with a faint halo.
Aura of fear!
Having the bloodline of a second-level abyssal creature, this bloodline witchcraft now has the power of a real first-level witchcraft.
“Ah!”
The woman screamed, her crotch was wet, and the smell of urine was overwhelming.
His knees softened and he collapsed directly to the ground.
“What did you do?”
Harold’s expression changed drastically when he saw this. He waved his staff lightly, and several sharp ice strands appeared out of thin air:
"Stop!"
"Don't touch my daughter!"
"Zheng!"
'Jie' instantly drew his sword, the great knight's fighting spirit roared out, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the opponent, and shouted:
"Harold, put down the staff in your hand!"
"Do you know what you are doing? You are threatening a wizard apprentice from the Sixth Ring Tower!"
Harold's body stiffened, and he subconsciously took a step back, with a look of fear in his eyes.
Hmm...
Karl pursed his lips.
It’s different when you have a backer, you can even bully people with confidence.
"Harold."
Thoughts were turning, Karl's expression did not change at all, and his tone was still cold:
"I know you have a way to temporarily hide inferior elixirs from analysis. If you don't want anything to happen to your daughter..."
"Just explain the matter honestly and clearly!"
As he spoke, he slightly increased the power of the fear aura.
“Ah!”
The fat woman collapsed on the ground and screamed loudly:
"Don't come here, don't come here! Devil...you are the devil, dad, save me...come and save me!"
" No!”
Harold’s expression changed drastically, his hand loosened, and the staff fell to the ground:
“It was Simon, he asked me to do this!”
< br>
.........
“Simon?”
Wizard Archie took the investigation information handed over by Karl, his eyes slightly lowered, and he threw it aside without looking at the content. .
“Tell the family of the deceased that it was the pharmacist who deceived the pharmacy with inferior medicines, and ask Harold to apologize, compensate, and try to restore the reputation of the pharmacy.”
“The pharmacy will respond accordingly. compensation.”
"As for Simon..."
"Forget it!"
Karl looked up in surprise.
Just forget it?
However, he immediately realized that Simon had dozens of drugstore suppliers in his hands, and even if he had done it, he could not act rashly for the time being.
Otherwise,
pharmacies will have difficulty maintaining their operations.
As soon as he exited the room, he saw Simon with a gloomy face waiting outside the door.
Please collect it!
