Chapter 134 Desire (Please collect)
Every month, Carl goes to the Wizard Tower.
Although the drug store uses the name of the wizard Archie, most of the shares are in the Six-Ring Tower.
Especially this year, the wizard Archie is about to leave and has transferred all his shares to the tower.
Monthly collection and inventory checking are normal procedures.
"Huh..."
Karl rubbed his hands and took the hot tea from Oma:
"The weather is so cold today!"
The breath he exhaled It condensed into white mist, mixed with the steam rising from the hot tea, and lingered for a long time.
“Yes.”
Omar nodded:
"The Kingdom of Gondor has never had such a cold season, and even the knight's physique can't bear it."
Asked again:
" Do you want to get a heater to warm yourself up?”
She practices alone in the wizard tower. Although she has long been accustomed to loneliness, she is more able to immerse herself in the knowledge of witchcraft.
But sometimes I still want someone to talk and chat with me.
So every time Karl came over, she would temporarily stop practicing and come out to sit and chat together.
After all, both of them are members of the ‘Secret Society of the Stars’.
“I’m not that delicate yet.” Carl shook his head with a smile and looked at the square in front of the Wizard Tower:
“There seem to be more people here than usual today?”
"Three wood mills have to settle accounts." Omar said:
"Wizard Archie and the others are about to leave, and the wood essence and wood they took away must be counted."
"This is an achievement!"
Every ten years, the Sixth Ring Tower will send a group of people over, focusing on the resources of the Magic Forest.
After ten years of reclamation and felling, all the good things collected must be brought back. The more you bring, the more credit you will get, and the better the rewards from the tower will be.
"I heard that the wood factory has not stopped work yet?" Karl asked.
“No.”
Omar pulled up a chair and sat down, crossing her legs and said:
“Everyone is working overtime, as long as there is a tide of beasts It won’t stop until we come here.”
“In the past two days, workers in the wood factory have frozen to death one after another, and Wizard Archie still refused to let them rest.”
As he spoke, he shook his head slightly.
She has nothing to say about this.
If Wizard Archie wants to take away more wood, he must squeeze the workers.
The other wizards did not intend to offend the group of people who were about to return to the Kalim continent for some workers.
Karl has no interface.
He has become accustomed to powerful people with power, wealth, and strength trying their best to exploit ordinary people.
The same is true in Gondola, the same is true in other worlds, and the Magic Forest has not changed. It seems that this is the rule.
“That’s right.”
Omar turned his head and looked over:
“You should know, right? Hodgson has taken over the store next door. We will see you in a few days. Have a ceremony.”
"We'll go together then, so we can have company."
"Ceremony?" Karl shook his head:
"I didn't receive an invitation."
"Huh? "Omar was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Still not borrowing the money?"
"Yeah." Karl took a sip of hot tea and said:
"I don't have many magic stones in my hand."
"I don't even believe what you say, except for Hodgson in our group. You should be rich." Omar shook his head:
"If you don't want to borrow it, don't borrow it. Hodgson did make a big bet this time. I heard that the magic stone he borrowed carries a high interest rate. If there is not enough profit, it will be difficult for him, but who knows the outcome?"
"Look? For Nancy’s sake, I hope his business is prosperous!”
This time she borrowed the magic stone, but not much, unlike some people who pledged themselves to buy shares.
"Huh..."
A cold wind rushed in from outside.
The two stood up and saluted the figure entering the wizard tower.
"Daniel the Wizard!"
"Senior Daniel!"
"Yes." Daniel, who was wearing a white wizard robe, nodded casually, with unusual anxiety on his face:
"Is Wizard Bella here?"
"Yes." Omar said hurriedly:
"The tutor is upstairs."
"Okay!"
Daniel walked quickly towards the stairs. As if he thought of something, he paused and looked at the two of them:
"Don't run around in the recent period, especially especially Carl, pay more attention to what’s going on in the market.”
Huh?
Karl looked surprised:
"Senior Daniel, what happened?"
"Yes."
Daniel nodded:
"The beast tide on the front line is out of control, and some defense lines have collapsed. I'm afraid it will Attack on the Leipzig market ”
“Ah! ”
Karl and Omar were shocked at the same time.
“How could it be?”
Karl looked puzzled:
“The tide of beasts has just begun. It has not yet reached the most dangerous time. There are even Cape family members on the front line. Two second-level wizards are in charge."
"How could it be out of control?"
"The Cape family..." Daniel frowned:
"There are some problems."
He did not directly say what problems were there, but the information revealed was still frightening. .
If there is a problem with the Capet family, then the Leipzig market is likely to suffer a devastating blow.
Watching Daniel go upstairs, Omar turned to look at Karl.
"If there is a problem in the market, you come here." Omar said seriously:
"The mentor once mentioned to me that as long as this wizard tower does not collapse, we are not afraid even of third-level creatures. ."
"Hmm."
Karl frowned:
"I know."
Just the past two days.
There seemed to be a depressing atmosphere filling the air above the market, and the people on the street were busier than usual.
"Mr. Karl."
During the busy period, Babara, whose belly was getting bigger and bigger, came to his side and whispered:
"Charlie asked someone to come over and explain. He told me to be careful recently. Is there something wrong on the front line? ”
The others paused slightly and then continued busy with what they were doing, but their ears were already on edge.
“It’s okay.”
Karl lay on the soft chair, closed his eyes and fell asleep, and said slowly:
“There are two second-ring wizards in the Cape family, and there are also two people nearby. With the help of the tower, even if there are some problems, it will not be a big mess. "
It is impossible to hide the collapse of the front line from others, especially as more and more people escape from the front line.
News,
has begun to circulate.
"Yes!"
Guard 'Jie' nodded upon hearing this:
"With the Cape family here, nothing will happen to the Leipzig market. The last time there was a beast wave, I The experience was much more intense than this time. Many legendary creatures and mutated dependents broke through the defense line, but nothing happened in the end.”
His words made everyone relax slightly and nodded.
That’s right!
Even if the front line collapses, there may only be a problem at a certain position on the defense line and the beast wave breaks through, so it should generally be safe.
Besides,
even if the front line collapses, the first thing the beast wave will harm is the residential area outside the market, they are still safe.
If it really threatens the market...
It is already a matter of life and death, and they, ordinary people and wizard apprentices, can only accept their fate.
"Mr. Carl."
Salesperson Tracy whispered:
"Can you let me stay and guard the store after closing at night? I...I can Pay.”
Paying his own money to help look after the store seemed like a joke, but others were obviously interested.
They are at the market during the day, so they don’t have to worry about safety, but they need to go back to residential areas after work.
At this time, residential areas are no longer safe, and the way to get off work is even more scary.
Hmm...
Karl opened his eyes, looking thoughtful, and then called the guard 'Jay'.
"Go buy some magical items that solidify the ground, and some things that can mask your breath."
"I'll make a list!"
"When you're not busy, you guys will Go dig a basement in the backyard and make it deeper to ensure safety."
"The door will be closed at night. If anyone is unwilling to go back during this time, you can temporarily live in it."
His eyes lit up.
Only 'Jay' and Maude frowned, they heard a dangerous omen from Karl's words.
Is the situation on the front line so bad?
A few more days passed.
There are more and more rumors outside, and the atmosphere in the market is becoming more and more tense. Tracy, Babara and others stopped going back at night.
"Mr. Carl."
'Jay' walked in from outside, even forgetting to shake off the snow on his clothes, and said with a panicked face:
"There are rumors everywhere that the second-ring wizard of the Cape family, Jay Peixun, has been hit." A special kind of poison will kill you soon!"
"Another second-level wizard has also had an accident, and is even rumored to be dead."
Karl is preparing the potion. For a moment, he looked surprised.
He was not surprised by the news from 'Jie', but he was surprised by how such news could come out.
There is no news from the tower, but it has been spread in the market. Could it be that the news is false?
No!
Karl’s eyes darkened.
If it was fake, the Cape family patrol team outside would not be so nervous, so something must have gone wrong.
Poison?
The key to the problem is not poison, but why did it spread?
Did the Capet family not pay attention to blocking the news, or did some people deliberately spread the news? "Don't worry."
Thinking about it, he could only comfort:
"These are just rumors, they may not be true. Even if they are true, the market There are so many doctors and poison treatment experts, but what kind of poison can’t be cured? ”
"Just like Macdonald across the door..."
Halfway through the words, Karl suddenly frowned.
He has not forgotten that MacDonald is an official wizard who has hidden his cultivation for some reason.
McDonald, who hides his cultivation, is good at treating poison!
The second-level wizard of the Cape family was poisoned?
Such a coincidence?
"Mr. Carl."
'Jay' whispered:
"McDonald was invited away by the Capay family. I guess it is very possible. I’m treating a second-level wizard.”
He was also a little panicked now.
The reason why the last beast wave was fine was because there were second-level wizards. If something happened to the second-level wizards...
The front line may have really collapsed!
"Huh..." Karl took a deep breath, put down the potion in his hand, and walked around the field with his hands behind his back.
His expression became more and more gloomy, and finally he stopped.
“Close the door!”
"The opening hours of the store have been shortened by two hours in recent days. Pay attention to the situation with the Cape family. After closing, you'd better hide in the backyard."
Karl said:
"We'll talk about everything after the situation becomes clear."
His words made everyone's expressions change drastically, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
“Ah!”
"Mr. Carl..."
"Will this business be greatly affected?"
"Sir."'Jie's voice was full of worry:
" Is there something wrong?”
“It’s not clear yet.” Karl shook his head:
"But don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. The loss of closing the store early can still be tolerated."
"Go!"
He waved his hand and ordered:
"Pack up Things will be closed early from today. If something is wrong, the store will be closed temporarily. ”
“Yes!”
Several people responded hurriedly.

*
The estate of the Capet family.
A stone tower more than ten meters high stands in the center of the manor.
Wizard Tower!
This is an object that communicates between the star world and the real world. It can even be said to be one of the greatest existences in the wizarding world.
It is the core of the Leipzig Market and the foundation for the Capet family to continue to stand for hundreds of years.
In the wizard tower, a first-level wizard’s strength is enhanced and can compete with the second-level wizard.
inside.
Spiritual power can be extremely terrifyingly blessed, and witchcraft that is usually very laborious to perform can be performed easily.
The five-story building means that the Wizard Tower is engraved with at least five powerful witchcrafts that can be activated at any time.
As long as the magic crystal is consumed, this wizard tower can continue to attack.
Few people know that the Wizard's Tower had another name in ancient times.
War fortress!
McDonald raised his head and glanced at the building in front of him, then lowered his eyes and remained calm.
"Sir, please come upstairs!"
Entering the wizard tower, several hidden spiritual waves swept over him, allowing him to see everything from the outside to the inside.
“Yes.”
McDonald's expression remained unchanged and he followed the people in front to the third floor.
There is a huge bed here, and a 'patient' dressed in white is lying on it to rest.
The patient's breath was weak and he was sleeping with his eyes closed. Even if he knew someone was coming, he had no intention of speaking.
There were other people in the room, many of them, but MacDonald's attention was involuntarily focused on the patient. It seemed that with his presence, everything else became dim.
"Mike."
Allen from the Cape family came over quickly:
"Aren't you good at treating poisoning and mental illness? Come and see me...this patient."
"Yes. ." Macdonald bowed:
"Don't worry, Master."
"Can I not be in a hurry?" Allen stamped his feet, but it was not convenient to introduce who the patient was on the bed.
Just introducing it to others:
"This Mr. MacDonald is the pharmacist in my drug store, and he is best at helping people detoxify."
"Stop talking nonsense!" A middle-aged man The man shouted in a low voice:
“Please ask someone to see a doctor quickly.”
“Yes!”
McDonald took a deep breath, walked slowly to the patient, and used witchcraft to observe the patient's condition.
“Huh?”
His mouth was filled with surprise and his expression changed:
“This is Kuangjiu!”
As soon as he finished speaking, several people in the room The person's expression changed drastically, and the patient on the bed slowly opened his eyes.
"You know?"
"Yes."
McDonald nodded:
"A long time will destroy people's sanity, so wizards with long lifespans often He will practice a kind of witchcraft of constant consciousness to resist the wear and tear of time on the spirit. "But the mad poison will make this witchcraft ineffective and make people's mood swings bigger until the end." Crazy and out of control.”
"This kind of poison is of no use to ordinary people. It is only useful to wizards of the second level and above..."
He opened his mouth but stopped talking.
Even if no one here said anything, he already knew who the patient was, Jefferson of the Cape family.
Second Ring Wizard!
As for the other one, he has seen the portrait before.
"That's right." Jefferson nodded slowly:
"A wizard with unstable emotions is like a witchcraft that can get out of control at any time. No one knows when it will explode."
< br>"So..."
"Can you cure it?"
"This..." McDonald smiled dryly:
"I'm just an ordinary wizard apprentice. I've only heard of this kind of poison against second-level wizards."
Seeing the expressions of several people in the scene, he hurriedly spoke:
"But I have a way to relieve it!"
"Oh!"
Jefferson's eyes moved slightly, and an invisible spiritual force fell on McDonald, as if he wanted to see through him .
But he was poisoned after all. After casting a spell, the inner sea of his spirit was tumbling, and his face turned pale.
Too careless!
I didn’t expect that the boy from the Monroe family would be so bold, using his body as bait to lead himself into a trap.
Although he escaped, he was also poisoned.
The Crazy Dove is not fatal for the time being, but it is very dangerous, especially now when the beast tide is approaching and you have to cast a spell.
If it gets out of hand...
He must not take any chance!
"Relieve?"
Close his eyes and calm down his fluctuating mood, Jefferson asked slowly:
"How to relieve it?"
"I have a medicine that can help stabilize my mood, but this medicine uses very rare materials." McDonald whispered:
"It's very expensive!"
"Mike! "Alan shouted:
"Can our Cape family still lack your magic stone?"
"As long as it works, we can even help you become an official wizard. You need to take the medicine first. Come out.”
"Yes, yes." MacDonald smiled and nodded, taking out a bottle of potion from the medicine box he carried with him:
"This bottle of potion is also useful for stabilizing the spirit and can alleviate the toxicity of Kuangjiu. At least it won’t get out of control for more than ten years.”
As for more than ten years later, I believe that with the strength of the Cape family, a solution should have been found.
A person in the field stepped forward and took the potion from his hand. He did not rush to give it to Jefferson to take, but carefully cast the spell and checked it.
"The ingredients are unknown, but harmless."
"Yeah."
Jefferson nodded and waved:
"Go down!"
"Yes."
McDonald hung his head The first answer is, and he said:
"Remuneration..."
"Don't worry." Allen pulled him towards the downstairs:
"Don't forget your reward, remember not to tell the second person what happened today. , otherwise don’t blame me for being rude to you.”
“No, I will never tell others.” McDonald didn’t care about asking for reward, and wiped the sweat from his forehead:
“After I go back, I will stay here honestly Shop, don’t go out!”
"Yes."
Alan nodded with satisfaction:
"Go!"
After leaving the Cape family manor and returning to the store to confirm that no one was following, Macdonald The timid expression on Na's face disappeared little by little, turning into cold and chilling.
‘What a risk! ’
'Fortunately, I took a potion before going and controlled my cultivation to the level of a wizard's apprentice, otherwise I would definitely be discovered. ’
‘Fortunately, Jefferson was poisoned and couldn’t concentrate on casting spells, otherwise he would still be dead. ’
Thinking of the consequences of exposure, even though he has lived for more than a hundred years, he still can't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.
"It seems that the things have been handed over." A voice without emotion sounded from behind him.
“Yes.”
Hearing the voice, Macdonald's expression changed again, and he looked respectful:
"As you asked, I left the potion at the Capet family manor. As long as Jefferson takes it..."< br>
"Well done." The shadow squirmed, and a figure slowly appeared on the field:
"Edmund's strength is still too weak after all. Fortunately, he made preparations in advance and stayed here. ”
Please collect it!
