Wizard, I have a different world
Chapter 68: Freeport Vitelli City
Thunder Spear's character is despised by many, but it is undeniable that this is a great knight who is expected to be legendary.
To reach this point as a civilian is a legend in itself.
You know, even a formal wizard must maintain the necessary respect for the 'Legendary Knight'.
"No wonder!"
Sibel thoughtfully:
"If the front line is lost, Signo City may also be affected by the war. Then the house will become worthless, so Robert dares to lower the price desperately."
"yes."
Karl nodded and advised:
"But senior sister, don't worry too much. After all, Signuo City is not a frontline, and the possibility of being affected is not high."
"The price can be negotiated."
This is the consensus of many people, otherwise the nobles of Signuo City would have already started to move to the rear.
It is the noble instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Lower the price,
It is just a method commonly used by businessmen.
"Yeah." Sibel nodded in agreement:
"The two countries of Cologne and Gondo have been fighting for hundreds of years, and the city of Signo has never fallen."
"Now, Earl Barlow of the Vic family has come to take charge..."
"Robert is just a greedy echidna. He is so rich, but he refuses to pay an extra penny!"
Her good impression of Robert was gone.
"well!"
Sighing, Sibel continued:
"It seems that it will take some time to deal with the properties left by the mentor. I can only send a batch over first. I will write to tell the mentor about the situation here."
"Karl."
"You still owe twenty-seven gold coins. Can you pay it off before you leave? If not, interest will be calculated."
"Twenty-seven?" Karl was stunned:
"So many?"
He remembered that he had already paid off his debt once, and the cost of witchcraft during this period was not too much.
"certainly."
Sibel shrugged upon hearing this, took out a thick account book from his side, opened one page and said:
"You bought three materials for witchcraft traps from me, as well as a zero-level witchcraft shorthand technique..."
"I have to say, you surprised me."
Raising her head, she looked a little surprised:
"In the past six months, you have spent hundreds of gold coins on witchcraft knowledge. This amount of money is not something that an ordinary decent family can afford."
"Uh..." Karl laughed dryly:
"Senior sister also knows that I am a noble, and it is natural for me to inherit some of the family property left by my ancestors."
"I'm not interested in where you got the money from." Sibel smiled, not intending to go into details:
"Just give me money."
"Yes." Karl thought for a while and asked:
"Senior sister, are there any witchcraft traps that we can warn about in advance?"
"Of course." Sibel spread his hands:
"Every qualified wizard apprentice will arrange evil and danger warnings in his residence."
"but……"
"These two kinds of witchcraft traps are not cheap and require a lot of consumables. Are you sure you want to learn them now?"
After finishing dealing with the mentor's property, they will go to the Black Swamp, and the traps set now will be wasted.
From a cost-saving perspective, it is not cost-effective.
"study."
Karl nodded:
"I'll figure out how to deal with the money."
"All right."
Sibel certainly has no objection:
"When you leave, go to the manor and I will give you the books you need, along with the supplies for one time."
"Well..."
"The star of the party is here."
The sound outside made her stand up and waved Karl out of the living room.
"welcome!"
"Welcome Earl Barrow from the Royal City, and His Royal Highness Duna, the shining pearl from the Kingdom of Sark!"
Accompanied by cheers, a man and a woman, accompanied by Lord Renekton, walked along the flower carpet.
The man is tall and strong, and the soft armor on his body shows his prowess. Even at a banquet, he still wears a sword.
All of them illustrate his identity as a military commander.
The nobles in the Kingdom of Gondor have been in peace for a long time, but there are very few who are willing to take up arms to fight the enemy.
The woman is gorgeously dressed, her accessories shine under the light, and her more three-dimensional facial features have an exotic feel.
She shouldn't be here.
The extra guests also made everyone present look surprised and lowered their heads to talk.
"Your Highness Duna?"
"King Sark's thirteenth daughter, how come she is here?"
"I heard that in order to resist the Cologne army, we reached an alliance with the Sark Kingdom. It seems to be true now."
"The border between us and the Kingdom of Sark is not peaceful either. Wars often occur, but this time we have reached a reconciliation. It seems that there are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends in this world. Only interests are eternal."
"..."
Karl did not stand with his senior sister.
Sibel is a more 'traditional' wizard apprentice who has no faith and looks down on ordinary people.
Her dress is often very casual. Even when attending gatherings among nobles, she only wears a black wizard robe.
In fact, if she hadn't needed to meet someone for the sale of her mentor's estate, she wouldn't have even come.
This makes her look very unique among the gorgeously dressed crowd.
A lonely, arrogant woman!
Alien!
This is what others call Sibel.
She was accustomed to the strange looks from others, but Karl didn't want to suffer this invisible pressure.
"Karl."
Before he could find a suitable position, with the fragrant breeze blowing against his face, a familiar figure had already pulled him to his side:
"You're here too."
Carl was a little flattered by Dinah's enthusiasm.
This officer has an outstanding appearance and figure, but he has a cold face all day long and rarely shows off his daughter-like attitude.
But he soon came to his senses.
"yes."
Karl took a step back, indicating that the relationship between the two was not close, and bowed to the visitor:
"Sir is here today, who is this?"
The reason for the sudden enthusiasm was the man beside Dinah, a handsome young man.
Hmm...
Probably not young, just well maintained.
"Will."
The man smiled and nodded:
"Dina's cousin."
"Karl." Karl suddenly realized that he had heard of this name, the fiancé that the Dinah family had found for her, but it was obvious that Dinah was not satisfied, but this had nothing to do with him, so he immediately said:
"Carl Bergmann, an ordinary inspector."
"You still know your duties." Unable to use Karl as a shield, Dinah's face turned cold:
"I heard that you are about to leave Signo City, but at least for now, you are still an inspector."
“There shouldn’t be a shortage of people on the job.”
"Yes." Karl nodded:
"Sir said so."
This is indeed something he did a little too much. Because of the incident in Black City, he didn't go to work for a long time.
"Come here!"
Dinah pulled him aside and whispered:
"What's going on with Kaili recently?"
"Kelly?"
As his only friend in Signo City, Karl couldn't help but ask:
"What happened to him?"
"He's borrowing money from everywhere." Dinah whispered:
"Apart from me, many colleagues have lent him money. Don't you know? He hasn't borrowed money from you?"
"Uh..." Karl shook his head:
"No."
"No? Does he look down on you, or does he not want to involve you?" Dinah looked suspicious, with a little resentment in her eyes:
"I lent him twenty pounds!"
Twenty pounds!
Two gold coins!
It is by no means a small amount to her.
Taking a deep breath, Dinah continued:
"I'm not afraid of anything else. I'm just afraid that he will get into gambling. Twenty pounds... isn't too much, but it can ruin a person."
"Yes." Karl said solemnly:
"I will ask him about the situation."
"But sir, are you planning on leaving your cousin there and not paying attention to him?"
As they talked, the two of them got farther and farther away from Will, and they were separated by the crowd and could no longer be seen.
"Don't worry about him."
Dinah's face darkened:
"My fiancé should at least be a knight."
knight?
Karl shook his head slightly.
"Sark and Gondola are brotherly federations. No matter who is in danger, the other side should give up their prejudices and help."
"The Lord of the Dawn can testify to our friendship!"
On the high platform.
Princess Duna from the Kingdom of Sark is speaking loudly:
"Cologne is a robber who not only stole the Dawn Lord's power over the flames, but also wanted to steal the people of both countries."
"God forbids it!"
"We won't allow it either!"
"This kind of thief deserves to suffer endless torture in the underworld and be despised by the world!"
The alliance between the two countries, as the princess of one of the countries, it is natural for her to preach these things in public.
It's just that only a few people in the audience listened attentively.
"She's beautiful."
Will touched his chin and spoke slowly.
"Who are you talking about?" Martha came over:
"Cousin Dinah or Princess Duna?"
"They are all beautiful." Will turned around, skillfully held Martha's slender waist, and whispered:
"Of course, not as beautiful as you."
"Heh..., I know what I look like." Martha rolled her eyes and twisted her body:
"Don't stay here. It's not good for my cousin to see you."
She didn't hate the close contact between the two of them, and judging from her movements, she was already used to it.
"Dina?"
Will shook his head:
"She doesn't like me."
"My cousin has always been very demanding." Martha shrugged:
"If you can inherit your father's title or become a knight, you might be able to win his heart."
"But it doesn't matter. She has no control over the marriage between the two of you."
"You seem to want me to be with her." Will said curiously:
"If we are really together, with your cousin's character, I will definitely not allow me to find you again."
"If he didn't let you, wouldn't you come secretly?" Martha rolled her eyes:
"I just want to see how she, who has always been arrogant, will look when she is pinned down by you?"
"Still not that noble?"
"Haha..." Will said confidently:
"You know my strength very well, so that's definitely impossible!"
…………
After Princess Duna went down, Earl Barrow also gave a speech.
This count, who came from a military background, had great military exploits and was also a great knight himself.
His arrival can boost the morale of frontline soldiers.
The two were followed by celebrities from the city, who expressed their loyalty to the country and their indignation against the enemy.
"To show sincerity."
Robert said solemnly:
"I am willing to donate a thousand gold coins and two thousand sets of clothing to support the soldiers on the front line and serve the king!"
"Crash..."
"Pop!"
His generosity drew applause from everyone.
"Is Dr. Robert so rich?"
Karl applauded and said:
"This is a thousand gold coins and two thousand sets of clothes. Can you just take it?"
"certainly."
Dinah nodded:
"He is not only a doctor, but also a successful businessman. He has shares in the factory over there in Beicheng."
"One thousand gold coins is a distant number to others, but to him, it may not be anything."
"Tsk tsk..." Karl shook his head lightly.
He worked hard in the Black City for more than half a year, working hard, and his total income was only one or two thousand gold coins.
Such a comparison is really enviable.
"Karl!"
Sibel came over and frowned:
"I don't like the atmosphere here. I'm going back to the manor first. Don't forget to pick up your things when you go back."
"Okay." Karl nodded.
"Hmm..." After thinking for a while, Sibel said again:
"There will be a banquet in a few days. You will go there instead of me to see Archbishop Antonio off."
"The Archbishop is leaving?" Karl looked surprised:
"Signo City cannot live without an Archbishop."
Archbishop Antonio is the anchor of Signon City, and his importance far exceeds that of the city lord.
Especially the impact on people's hearts.
The current situation on the front line is very unfavorable. If the Archbishop still leaves, it will probably cause great turmoil.
"It seems that the regional bishop has to go back to the royal capital to report on his duties every four years." Sibel explained:
"If the Archbishop wants to be promoted to Cardinal, he can't stay here forever."
"promise!"
She gestured towards the place in the hall where people gathered:
"They came here just to take over the Archbishop's place in Signo City and prevent any trouble."
"That's it!" Karl understood and sighed:
"Oh well."
He seems to be very busy, but in fact he has a lot of things to do.
Since you are leaving, you must deal with all kinds of materials on hand, as well as interpersonal relationships and favors.
That’s all.
Before leaving, we have to go to Vitli City to meet up with Aya and others.
The journey to the Black Swamp is long, and we have to travel with Sibel and others. There will definitely be no chance of crossing by then.
*

"drive!"
"drive!"
As a noble, riding is a compulsory course.
Karl controlled his horse and walked along the river. After intermittent trekking, he could vaguely see a vague city in the distance.
Vitelli City.
The legendary city of the blazing sun and the port of freedom.
"Xu..."
Carrying the horse's belly lightly, Karl jumped up from the horse. After landing, he grabbed a handful of dirt and put it in front of his eyes to take a closer look.
The soil is loose and severely compacted.
"Catastrophe..."
Looking up and looking forward, Karl's expression was a little complicated.
This world seems to be very abnormal, not just the Black City. The more you come into contact with it, the deeper this feeling becomes.
It was more than a hundred kilometers from Black City to Vitelli City, but there weren't many gathering points similar to villages or towns along the way.
Most of them are ruins of villages.
The reason why there are so few is mainly because we can’t!
More and more land cannot grow crops, and there is a lack of sufficient water. Even wild animals have become scarce, and ordinary people cannot survive outside.
No wonder they all flock to the city.
Whether it is the records in the book or the words of the older generation, it shows that this was not the case before.
Change begins with what is called the Cataclysm.
But Karl didn’t know what a ‘cataclysm’ was. He only saw that the places suitable for human survival were becoming fewer and fewer as time went by.
This world...
Seems to be heading towards death!
Just like the broken crimson moon in the sky.
…………
"Is this Vitelli City?"
The scene at the entrance made Karl look strange. He stayed at the city gate for a long time, then shook his head silently and led his horse in slowly.
Although the city is dilapidated, the market is lively.
People were coming and going, and there was constant shouting.
"Come and see, come and see, fresh seafood! It's very cheap, only one grace coin for two kilograms!"
"Cuttlefish bone, an excellent material for making fish hooks..."
"Fishing nets, fish food, fishing rods... whatever you want, I sell them here. Even fishing boats can get them if they can afford the price."
"Peng!"
A big fish weighing hundreds of kilograms was thrown heavily on the chopping board. The naked man brandished a long knife:
"Fresh fish, come and buy it!"
As a coastal city, Vitelli City's specialty is fish.
All kinds of fish.
Along the way, what struck Carl most deeply was not the various fish products, but the ubiquitous smell of fish.
It's mixed with a bad smell from time to time!
The mud underfoot is even more difficult to guard against.
"Moonlight flower, a moonlight flower with a god's grace, can point you in the direction and soothe your mood when you are lost in the sea."
"I'll take three."
"I want one!"
Carl turned his head and saw that the stall selling moonflowers was crowded with people, and everyone was rushing to buy them.
Moonflower?
When his eyes fell on the flower, Karl's eyes moved slightly.
This kind of flower seems to be a kind of magical material, which has the effect of condensing magic power and attracting moonlight, and can increase the effect of the light spell.
"The venom sac of the saber-toothed shark!"
"Pearl powder!"
"Coral Shard!"
"The scales of sea snakes can be used to make underwater protective clothing. The masterpiece even allows people to breathe underwater."
"Hippocampus horn has a certain healing effect. If you put it on your body, minor injuries can be cured, and serious injuries can save your life."
"..."
Karl walked slower and slower, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Demonic items and witchcraft materials were very rare where he came from, and they were even more expensive.
Many wizards are even trying to find ways to use ordinary materials instead, after all, the output of magical items is too rare.
It’s different here!
Witchcraft materials are common!
If there are enough witchcraft materials, Carl's progress in witchcraft will be accelerated.
To know.
The key to making magical items lies in materials. As long as there are materials, wizard apprentices can also make magical items.
‘It seems that in addition to potions and witchcraft traps, the production of magical items will also be included in the subsequent study plan. ’
'Hmm...'
‘Sibel doesn’t seem to be good at making magical items? ’
This is nonsense!
Due to limited materials, many high-level wizard apprentices are unable to make several magical items themselves.
"The Kraken corpse, if its throat bone is integrated into a specific weapon, it can inspire the Kraken's howl, which has the power to enchant people's hearts."
Um?
Carl turned around sharply.
"I want it!"
Before he could get close, a tall woman had already walked over and held down the body:
"If Poseidon takes a fancy to something, let me see who dares to snatch it?"
After the words fell, everyone around them lowered their heads. Karl raised his eyebrows, turned around, led the horse and continued to move forward.
knight!
And the aura is powerful enough.
When you first arrive, it’s better not to stand out too much.
Besides, witchcraft materials can be sold in the market, which shows that it is not uncommon for people here.
He has made up his mind to stay in Vitelli City permanently, just like when he first came to Black City.
To stay there, you must have money.
"God's grace coin?"
This is a currency commonly used in Vitelli City, somewhat similar to the large coins that Karl got from Hal before.
It's just that the Divine Favor Coin is smaller. I wonder if there is sefirah in such a small Divine Favor Coin?
If so, that would be great!
With his thoughts turning, Karl patted his waist gently.
The wooden box on his waist trembled slightly, and the faint chirping of insects sounded, guiding him towards a path.
Tracking bug!
A kind of bug blessed with witchcraft can smell smells that ordinary people can't smell.
Now that there is a reaction, it means that Aya and others are nearby.
Following the guidance, Karl stopped in front of a dilapidated wooden house, shook his head, and said:
"When you come here, it's time for you to live separately."
"Uncle."
Aya walked out of the house and said with a smile:
"I used to live underground. It was warmer and safer to hold each other together, but I'm still not used to it now."
