Chapter 133 Trap (please collect)
“Huh...”
The cold wind is raging and the white snow is flying.
Just one night later, the land and forest were covered in white, as if they were wearing new clothes.
The biting cold followed closely.
Even more dangerous
is the tide of beasts!
Early morning.
Karl led people to the Cape family’s ‘animal farm’, which is where animal meat and other products are wholesaled.
“Or two thousand kilograms of animal meat and five hundred portions of prepared animal pellets?”
"Yes."
Carl nodded:
"How many magic stones?"
"Eight hundred and three!" Sam wrote a note and handed it to the person behind him. Someone arranged to load the goods into the truck.
“Eight hundred and thirty magic stones.” Karl sighed:
"The price has increased again."
The last time I came here, there were only 790 magic stones, and the price a few months ago was less than 400.
More than doubled!
“It’s not that I want to go up, it’s that the market is going to go up.” Sam rubbed his hands to offset the cold air, and explained:
“The beast tide is coming, and we are encountering this kind of ghost weather again. , everything related to food will increase in price.”
"I think it won't be long before the price of these things can exceed a thousand!"
A thousand?
Karl's eyes moved slightly:
"Wait a moment, and add two thousand kilograms of animal meat!"
The Leipzig Market is said to be a market, but in fact it is a market with A scattered city with a population of hundreds of thousands.
And these hundreds of thousands of people depend on hunting for 70% of their food.
The current situation is that going out for hunting is tantamount to courting death, and there is a lot of food hoarded. As time goes by, food becomes more and more scarce, and the price will of course rise.
And it will skyrocket!
"Smart!" Sam nodded with a smile, and said while approving the notes:
"You can watch the processing of these animal meats, but don't buy them in the store, otherwise it will be against the rules."
The implication is that it doesn't matter if they sell it secretly.
In fact, these days, merchants in the ‘Animal Market’ will increase their purchases and secretly stock up.
“Understood.”
Karl nodded, glanced at the few white hairs on the other side’s temples, and asked:
“Your family’s matter has not been resolved yet. ?”
"..." Sam's expression changed instantly when he heard this, and his eyes became gloomy and cold, full of murderous intent:
"Not yet."
"But soon!"
The muscles in his cheeks twitched, and the veins in his neck bulged:
"Grandpa Grandpa will take action himself this time. The beast Strider will not be able to escape as long as he is in the Enchanted Forest."
oh!
The second-ring wizard also took action?
It seems that things should be over soon.
Karl nodded silently.
He is just an outsider. He is not interested in the grudges between the two families. He is just watching a show.
On the way back.
"Crunch...Crunch..."
The wheels turn and press on the thick snow, making an orderly sound.
Karl was walking in front with his hands behind his back. As if he noticed something, he suddenly stopped and looked sideways.
Zero Ring Witchcraft - Multiple Water Arrows!
He waved his sleeves gently, and several three-foot-long water arrows flew out immediately and pierced into the shadow of the corner.
"Zhizhi..."
A scream came from the shadows, and then stopped suddenly.
“Go.”
Karl spoke:
"Let's see what's going on."
"Yes."
The new guard Maud responded loudly, quickly ran to the corner, and soon raised the head of a body that looked like a wild wolf. return.
"Mr. Karl."
He left the body still on the ground and replied:
"There are two of these beasts gnawing at a human corpse."
Human corpse?
Karl frowned:
“Has the beast tide affected the market?”
“There are too many beasts coming out of the forest, and there is not enough defense outside, so they rush in. A few are normal, but they will not be magical creatures. Magical creatures with witchcraft monitoring capabilities above a certain level will be detected in advance." Mod explained, and then spoke cautiously:
"The human body was not killed by the fangs of wild beasts, but the heart was penetrated to death by a sharp weapon, and everything on the body was also plundered."
"Huh..." Karl understood, and lightly heard the words. Ha:
“It’s really..., it’s getting more and more chaotic.”
What humans are best at is killing each other. The chaos created by the beast tide may be more suitable for some people. mind.
He shook his head helplessly and continued to move forward. As long as the beast tide did not invade the market, there was no need to worry.
"Let's go!"
"Yes."
Mod returned to the team honestly and escorted the animal meat towards the store.
He has no wizard talent and is following the path of a knight. At his age, he is only an ordinary knight.
Logically speaking, he is not qualified to apply for a job as a drug store guard.
Especially now, when many people are rushing to work in the market, peak knights have to be picked and picked.
But he has a good daughter.
Maude's daughter is Charlie's lover. The pregnant woman must of course take care of her 'father-in-law'.
Fortunately, although Mod is not strong, he is experienced. Decades of experience make him efficient and easy to use.
Back in the shop, Carl shook off the flying snow on his body.
"No one is going to receive a hundred kilograms of animal meat, and other things remain the same!"
Immediately,
everyone's voice of thanks rang out in the store.
“Thank you Mr. Carl!”
“Thank you!”
"..."
Every family is short of food at this time. On the outskirts of the market, animal meat is even more useful than magic stones.
The welfare of one hundred kilograms of animal meat naturally aroused everyone's joy.
"Mr. Karl."
Babara came over with a big belly.
She is Charlie's mistress, with a top-notch figure and appearance, and a pair of golden eyes.
Charlie especially likes these eyes, saying that these eyes were exclusive to the bloodline of gods in ancient times.
“Something’s wrong.”
Karl took off his cloak and hung it aside.
"Yes." Babara nodded. She knew her identity very well and had never shown arrogance because she was pregnant with Charlie's child.
"The Hodgson wizard apprentice from the Magnolia Magic Artifact Shop just now came and said he wanted to discuss a business with you."
"Hodgson?" Karl shook his head:
"Next time he comes, tell him directly. I'm not here, and I'm not interested in business matters. "
"Yes." Babara said goodbye with a big belly.
"Business?"
Karl glanced outside and shook his head slightly:
"Forget it!"
Hodgson wanted to expand his business. Others who are also members of the Swamp Alliance have heard about it.
Thanks to the tide of beasts, the business of the magic weapon shop is booming.
In just six months, Hodgson made back the initial investment and made a lot of money.
Now he plans to take over the store next door to expand his business. For this, he will need tens of thousands of magic stones.
Ten thousand?
From a few thousand at the beginning to tens of thousands now, it can be said that his appetite is getting bigger and bigger.
However, according to the experience of previous years, it will take a long time for the beast tide to recede, so this deal may not be impossible.
Once successful.
Even if Hodgson is a big shot with four shops, his monthly profit can be the envy of official wizards.
In order to raise money, he would naturally contact the people who came with him from the Black Swamp.
This time is different from last time.
Many people were willing to lend him money, and two people even used their identities to guarantee him a large sum of magic stones.
"It seems that Nancy's accounts haven't been evened yet? The business in the market is so good, why does the neighbor want to transfer it?"
"Business cannot be like gambling, it is impossible to win every time."
Muttered After saying this, Karl walked toward the backyard. He was now getting closer and closer to the advancement.
Doing business,
He is equally interested.
It can be said that the reason why he has no sense of urgency about money now is because he earned enough by investing in real estate.
But he also knew it.
No matter how much money you have, it is still a foreign object.
The most important thing now is to improve your cultivation and realm. As long as you become an official wizard, earning magic stones is not a trivial matter?
…………
Bordeaux restaurants.
This can be said to be the most expensive place to eat in Leipzig Market.
Despite the impact of the beast tide and countless people dying every day, the restaurant's business is still very good.
Even,
much better than before!
Because resisting the beast tide requires a lot of supplies, ordinary people will die and lose magic stones, but the shops in the market will make a lot of money.
Hodgson stood up, held the wine flask, and helped an elderly wizard opposite fill the glass. He smiled and said:
"Senior Borg, can the price be cheaper?"
"Cheap?" Borg shook his head:
"If I hadn't been in such a hurry for money, I would never have thought of changing hands on the store I own at this time."
"You also know."
"The worse the fighting outside, the higher our profits. The shops in the market are now like golden chickens laying golden eggs."
Hodgson was silent.
“I’m not in a hurry.”
Borg picked up the wine glass and spoke slowly:
"Several waves of people have come over to ask about the price in the past two days. If you don't want to buy it, there are many people who are willing to accept it."
"I give priority to you because of your personality and temper towards me. It reminds me of when I was young." Think about it."
"Young man..."
"If you don't have such a big appetite, don't open your mouth so big."
Hodgson's cheeks were tense, he was very nervous. I want to take over the store held by the other party, but I have no funds.
"Master."
At this time, a great knight came to Hodgson's ear and whispered a few words.
“No?” Hodgson’s eyes jumped:
“Karl, another person who looks down on me!”
"Hmph!"
His face was gloomy, his mind quickly changed, and finally he took a deep breath and looked directly at the old man opposite.
"Senior Borg, I want your shop!"
"Oh!" Borg raised his eyebrows:
"The magic stone..."
< br>
"You don't have to worry about the magic stone." Hodgson said:
"I will raise it in the next two days and deliver it to your residence."
"Okay!" Borg's voice said :
"I'm waiting for your good news."

Forest.
Amidst the flying snow, two figures stood in mid-air.
One of them looks like a middle-aged man, with smooth blond hair flying in the wind and deep and cold eyes.
Jefferson!
One of the two second-level wizards of the Cape family.
The other person is a child of seven or eight years old, with an innocent face, looking at the surrounding environment with curiosity.
Below them is a tragic battlefield.
Countless ferocious beasts and magical creatures jumped out from the deep forest, rushed towards the crowd, and fell down one after another.
Crossbows, arrows, witchcraft, and various traps hindered their advance.
"Grandpa."
The child said:
"The beast tide doesn't seem so scary!"
"That's because the defense line has not been broken. "Jefferson spoke slowly:
"The reason why humans can defeat huge beasts with fangs and claws is because humans can unite and use the power of the group to make themselves stronger, while beasts usually cannot."
"However, The human mind is too complicated. Once the defense line is broken, It is very likely that they will make a mess.”
“Oh!” The child nodded in understanding:
“Then what we have to do is to ensure that the defense line is not breached by the beast tide?”
“Yes.” Jefferson smiled:
"You are very smart and have a talent that points directly to the essence of the problem. This talent is far stronger than the talent for cultivation."
The so-called wizard cultivation talent is only useful for wizard apprentices. After advancing to a formal wizard, Not much use.
This is somewhat similar to learning talent.
Some people can easily learn the knowledge in textbooks and enter college, but after graduation they will find that the diploma is just a stepping stone, and their future development is not strongly related to their learning talent.
Jefferson is a second-level wizard. Compared with wizard talent, he is more interested in the understanding of witchcraft.
not to mention.
Children’s wizard talents are not bad either.
"As the controllers of the Leipzig Market, our Capet family collects taxes and fees from various places every month and must bear corresponding responsibilities."
Jefferson pointed forward:
“Stopping the tide of beasts is one of our responsibilities.”
Second Ring Witchcraft - Summoning of Elemental Spirits!
Ripples appeared in the void, countless pieces of flying snow gathered in the same direction, and an ice elf slowly emerged.
The elf had two pairs of wings on its back, which flapped slightly and then pounced towards a certain breath below.
Next.
“Roar!”
A legendary creature roared up to the sky, but its body was frozen by the extreme cold and turned into an ice sculpture.
"Crack!"
"Crack..."
A crack appeared on the ice sculpture, and then appeared one after another, and finally cracked suddenly.
Legendary creatures,
die!
"Just like now."
Killing a legendary creature seemed to be just a casual little thing for Jefferson.
"We are responsible for clearing out those who may break through the defense line and help the people below to defend against the impact of the beast tide."
"Yes." The child nodded:
"With grandpa here, we will definitely be able to hold the line of defense!"
"Ha..." Jefferson chuckled:
"Second-level creatures are very rare, and third-level creatures usually don't appear in this place. In our world, theoretically nothing will happen."
"But the beast tide is an abnormal state!"
He squinted and looked into the distance, seeing those terrifying auras. Even he felt fear wandering far away.
Second level?
Level 3!
I hope they will not be interested in the Leipzig market, otherwise we will be in trouble.
Shaking his head, he grabbed the child, cast a dodge spell and turned it into a gray halo that swept away into the distance.
When Jefferson showed his body again, he waved his staff and used second- and first-level witchcraft to kill legendary creatures that could destroy the defense line.
He is like a firefighter, appearing wherever there is danger or a strong aura.
“Why?”
As he started to take action, the child asked:
“Why don’t we usually have third-order creatures here?”
“ Because the place is too small." Jefferson smiled and touched the child's head:
"A small river cannot raise whales. The more powerful a being is, the more resources it will require."
"This is true for wizards, and so are gods, and the same is true for other third-level creatures. If there is no special mission, , they will not come."
"Third level..."
"Most of them have wisdom!"
"Only those with wisdom should know what we are dealing with here. It’s safe.” The child blinked:
"There are only two or three third-level wizards in the Enchanted Forest."
"Haha!" Jefferson laughed and shook his head:
"Safe?"
"Sometimes, weak It is the real safety. Being strong will bring danger to oneself."
"No one will pay attention to the ants under their feet, but there are countless people who want to shoot it down to eat the power of the scorching sun. ”
Although the Enchanted Forest is small, it is a place that cannot be ignored.
The gods of the Eastern Kingdom Continent and the Wizards Alliance of Kalim Continent will occasionally set their sights here.
And their eyes will only fall on the three-ring wizard, which also means danger.
“Forget it!”
Jefferson stopped smiling:
"It's too early to tell you this now. Come with me today to kill some enemies of our family."
As he said this, he took out a white stone and threw it in front of him. A bright light flickered, and the two people disappeared high in the sky.
Somewhere on a hillside.
The two figures appeared again.
“Ancestor!”
"Grandpa!"
"..."
After seeing Jefferson, several people on the hillside saluted, shouting different names.
"Have you found it?"
Facing other people, Jefferson's attitude was far less gentle than in front of children, serious, cold, and condescending.
"Found it."
A wizard took a step forward and said:
"In addition to Strider, there is another official wizard alive in the Monroe family, who is Strider's uncle Edmund."
“Not only is he alive, he is also a powerful official wizard, and there is a group of people following him.”
“Edmund?” Jefferson looked thoughtful:
< br>
"I remember that this child left the family and wandered away when he was young and never came back."
"So..."
"He has formed a special force to deal with us over the years?"
“That’s right.” The wizard of the Cape family nodded:
“There are three official wizards in this organization, and Edmund also has a heritage witch from the Monroe family in his hand. ”
"It is also because of this that our previous operations failed, and even several tribesmen died."
"Edmund has been smart since he was a child, and he is still the same now." Jefferson said in a low voice:
"When the beast tide comes, the second-level wizard cannot escape. This is a great opportunity to severely damage the Cape family. Of course, he is not willing to miss it."
"Then..."
"Will they come here?"
"Yes!" The family wizard nodded heavily:
"According to our investigation and the results of divination, they will definitely appear nearby today."
"Then just wait. "Jefferson closed his eyes.
He didn't speak, and the others immediately shut their mouths. There was silence in the place, except for the child who rolled his eyes.
“Coming!”
Suddenly, Jefferson opened his eyes.
“Are you here?”
The family wizard looked around:
“Where?”
“A very clever hiding method, with the help of the star world I'm afraid you won't notice it if I don't come." Jefferson sighed, waved his staff lightly, and his whole body turned into a stream of light and shot to somewhere outside Li Xu.
A first-level wizard can already fly, and a second-level wizard can easily exceed the speed of sound.
As for the three rings...
They can use the power of the star realm to travel within a limited space.
The next moment.
“Boom!”
A deafening roar sounded.
The second ring witchcraft turned into a huge wave falling from the sky, and with just one tap, it shattered a certain barrier.
Several panicked figures inside were revealed.
"Jefferson!"
A strange voice sounded, filled with horror, disbelief, and deep unwillingness:
"Why are you here?"
"Edmund, you are amazing." Jefferson held his staff and gently knocked away the incoming witchcraft with an indifferent expression:
"It should be said that your entire Monroe family is amazing, so I How could he not come? "
"In order to deal with you, I used a teleportation stone, which was left over from ancient times."
Facing a second-ring wizard, The first-level wizards have almost no power to resist, even if they join forces.
"Ah!"
Edmund, who had gray hair and looked older than Jefferson, looked up to the sky and roared, and then his body swayed and gradually disappeared into nothingness.
"Huh?"
Jefferson's eyes moved slightly:
"Displacement teleportation witchcraft? Do you want to abandon the others and escape alone?"
< br>
"Huh..."
Shaking his head slightly, Jefferson slumped down and appeared next to Edmund in an instant, grabbing his arm.
A flower before my eyes.
The two appeared in a strange place.
Not good!
Jay Peixun's expression changed drastically.
It’s a trap!
"Haha..." Edmund, who was originally panicked, showed ecstasy at this time, and bucked Jefferson's arm:
"Let's die together!"
Please collect it!
