The terrain of Vitley is higher in the south and lower in the north.

The further north you go and closer to the coastline, the thicker the water vapor becomes and the ground becomes muddy.

Most of the powerful people live on the higher south side, while the poor and fishermen live near the water.

This is a huge city!

The vast area is comparable to several black cities.

The population is so large that it is even harder to count.

The Herb Bazaar is the closest market to the coastline, with miles of streets filled with vendors.

every day,

The seafood traded here can fill more than a hundred fishing boats.

Part of it was consumed in Vitelli City, and the other part was transported to other areas through merchants.

After meeting Aya and others, Karl came to this market after a brief encounter.

Next, they need to examine the environment and make future plans.

"The lord of Vitli City is the legendary knight Sodan. It is said that he has the blood of Archduke Ferdinand."

Aya led Karl forward and said as he walked:

"A hundred years ago, Lord Sodan killed the deep-sea demon whale in the endless sea and widened the sea route. This led to the prosperity of Vitli City."

Only legends can live beyond a hundred years!

Therefore, there is no doubt about the power of Lord Suodan.

"In addition to having no more than a hundred guards, the Lord of the City has not set up any city guards in the city."

"Everything here is free!"

"There are no taxes, no officials, no oppression, so this is called the Port of Freedom."

Aya's tone was a little excited.

Growing up in the Black City, what she saw most was the abuse of ordinary mining slaves by the city guards.

There is no freedom in the Black City!

It is also because of this that after being exposed to the ‘environment’ of Freeport, I feel comfortable from the bottom of my heart.

Especially after hearing about the legendary deeds of the city lord Sodan, she had a deep admiration for him.

What a great man,

Only then are we willing to give up our rights and return freedom and ordinary people!

"Except for some people being infected with water plague and the environment being a little bad, this city has almost no shortcomings!"

At the mention of the water epidemic, Aya's excited expression could not help but darken.

"Yeah?"

Karl's expression remained unchanged and he spoke calmly:

"What are your plans next?"

"If you want to survive in the Port of Freedom, you must be familiar with water properties. We are still learning to dive." Aya smiled bitterly:

"This is not easy to learn!"

"Actually, we may be used to living underground in the Black City and don't have the talent to be close to water."

As if thinking of some horrific scenes, she looked helpless, and then her spirits trembled:

"Originally we planned to get a boat to see if we could live off the sea, but now that you are here, uncle, maybe we can try to do business."

"Business?" Karl glanced around, shook his head and said:

"The supplies I can provide are of some value in the Black City. There are abundant resources here, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to get ahead."

"Open a pharmacy!"

"Drug shop?" Aya's eyes lit up:

"The potions made by uncle are amazingly effective. If we open a pharmacy, we will definitely attract patients."

"Um."

Karl nodded:

"As long as you have enough materials, it's not difficult to make potions. If you know how to read, you'll be able to get started quickly."

He needs a stronghold in Vitelli City to facilitate the purchase of witchcraft materials, but he cannot keep it there all the time.

A helper is a must.

What's more, it is in the middle of studying medicine. Opening a medicine shop will also be beneficial to practicing medicine.

Aya clasped her hands, unable to conceal her excitement.

If you can learn to make potions, it will be equivalent to having the capital to settle down in the Port of Freedom.

"Uncle."

She took a deep breath:

"I won't let you down!"

"arrive!"

While talking, the two of them stood in front of a shop with four facades. Aya stepped forward quickly:

"We have a big customer, call your shopkeeper out!"

"This is the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce's store. As long as you have something you want to buy, they can get it."

As he spoke, a strange expression appeared on his face.

Carl quickly understood what this expression meant.

"Here we come." Upon hearing the call, a lady wearing fish scale soft armor came out and bowed to Karl:

"My name is Susan, the owner of this shop. The goods may not be complete, but I will try my best to meet the needs of the customers."

The soft armor on this lady's body was extremely close-fitting, and only protected her vital parts. The rest of her body was completely uncovered, somewhat similar to the bikini in Karl's memory.

Pieces of smooth fish scales extend from the upper body to the crotch, shining brightly as the waist twists.

Her bold clothing style, graceful figure, and those blue eyes are all impressive.

Even passers-by couldn't help but watch frequently. No wonder Aya's expression was so strange.

Wearing a bikini to attract customers is indeed...

Very special!

"Karl." Karl suppressed the ripples in his heart and responded like a gentleman:

"I want to sell a few seals."

"oh!"

Susan's eyes lit up:

"Please sit down. I don't know what seals your distinguished guest plans to sell. The price of each seal is different."

Karl didn't say anything and just shook open the package.

"Crash..."

Seven seals are scattered on the table.

"Night vision, ground hearing, iron wall, wind repellent..." As a store owner, Susan is well-informed.

Count the several seals one by one.

"Iron Wall has 800 divine grace coins, and the other 700, totaling 5,000 divine grace coins. What do you think, guest?"

Five thousand?

The price is similar to other places.

Karl didn't say yes or no, he took out a divine grace coin and asked curiously:

"I once saw in a book that there was a divine grace coin the size of a fist. I wonder if it is real?"

"You are talking about great divine grace." Susan smiled and said:

"The Great Divine Favor is a gift from God, and the current Divine Favor Coin is made by imitating the Great Divine Favor."

"That thing has a price but no market. It will only be collected by really powerful people. I have only heard of it."

Great divine favor?

It actually lives up to its name!

Karl changed the subject:

"If I want to buy a magic seal, does Miss Susan have any recommendations?"

"oh!"

Susan's beautiful eyes flashed, she looked at Karl carefully, and said:

"The most common powerful seals are steel body, eagle eye, swimming..., I prefer swimming."

"Once this seal is refined, it can swim in the water like a fish, which is more suitable for a free port."

"pity!"

She spread her hands:

"The swimming seal is very popular and usually only circulates among familiar people. Steel Body and Eagle Eye can occasionally be sold on consignment in stores."

"If the customer really wants it, I can apply to the Chamber of Commerce and let you know as soon as I have any news."

"As for stronger seals, they will not be sold privately."

"Not now?" Carl asked.

"No." Susan shook her head:

"Not just swimming, but also steel body and eagle eyes."

"Forget it." Karl shook his head and sighed:

"I am a knight, is there anything I can use?"

knight?

Susan was shocked.

She stood up, walked around the store, took several things and placed them in front of Karl one by one.

"Storm Blade!"

Picking up a scimitar, Susan said seriously:

"There is a creature in the endless sea called the Storm Seahorse. It can travel freely in the storm."

"This knife is made from the horn of the Storm Seahorse. When wielded with fighting spirit, it can emit a small storm."

"The price is three thousand divine grace coins!"

As he spoke, he waved lightly, and a gust of wind flew out of the air, passing several meters before slowly disappearing.

nice one!

Karl's eyes lit up, and he felt a little regretful.

If there was a wizard who was good at refining demonized items, the power of this knife would never be so weak.

"Phantom Fish Trident!"

Susan picked up a trident about a foot long and waved it gently in her hand, which turned out to be quite orderly.

"Some people say that the phantom fish has dragon blood. I don't know whether it is true or not, but it can change its size like a dragon."

"The same goes for this trident."

"Crack!"

She thrust forward suddenly, and the trident that was originally about a foot long suddenly grew larger and longer, turning into a giant object of nearly three meters.

"When fighting someone, the weapon suddenly becomes longer. It will definitely turn the tide of the battle. It sells for 3,800 divine grace coins."

Carl shook his head.

In his opinion, this thing is not as useful as the Storm Blade. The sudden lengthening of the weapon can only deal with the weak. The real strong have extremely strong reactions in battle, so the chance of it being effective is not high.

And the so-called suddenness is actually not fast.

"Jellyfish beads."

Susan picked up a pearl and introduced:

"This is a kind of pearl produced in the body of ghost jellyfish. Grinding it into powder and swallowing it can heal most injuries."

"Fifty divine grace coins one grain!"

at last.

She opened a palm-sized wooden box.

Um?

Karl's eyes moved slightly.

But there were meatballs the size of bird eggs stacked in the wooden box. They were dark in color and had a faint smell of meat.

"Beast Pills."

Susan spoke:

"There are many forces in Freeport that can make beast pills, but our Dragon King Chamber of Commerce's beast pills are of the highest quality."

"This kind of beast pill is made from the meat of exotic animals. It helps the knights practice. One pill has three divine grace coins."

"There is another kind, which is made from high-quality exotic animal meat. One pill costs twenty divine grace coins. The store is temporarily out of stock."

Karl leaned forward, and after getting the other party's permission, he gently picked up a beast pellet and put it in front of his eyes to take a closer look.

That’s right!

The box of things carried by Hal of the Black City Guards Corps was the beast pills mentioned by the opponent.

but.

The details are a little different.

Then he opened his mouth and asked:

"What is the difference between beast balls made of high-quality exotic animal meat and animal balls made of ordinary exotic animal meat?"

"The difference is huge!" Susan laughed:

"The efficacy is quite different. However, high-quality animal pills have too much vitality for ordinary people. Not only does it fail to temper the body, but it is actually harmful."

"Well..."

"High-quality animal balls are darker in color and lighter in taste. If you taste them carefully, there is a hint of sweetness."

Karl's eyes flickered.

That’s right!

The box in my hand is a high-quality beast pill!

soon.

Susan watched Carl and the two leave with a smile, waved to the back, and one person immediately came closer.

"who is he?"

"Never seen it."

The visitor shook his head:

"The little girl's name is Aya. She escaped from the Black City. Among their group is a young man named Xiaonan who has the potential to become a knight."

"Having the potential to become a knight does not mean that you can become a knight." Susan licked the corner of her mouth:

"Karl..."

"Let's try and see if we can win him over. A formal knight is worth the price we pay."

"Yes." The person coming should be:

"I'm going to investigate his origins."

"Um."

Susan nodded slowly.

Sibel already knew about refining demonized items, and he didn’t have many opportunities to try it himself.

even,

Even in Adolf's collection of books, there are not many records in this regard.

Hearing that Karl wanted to find information in this area, Siebel showed great enthusiasm and recommended several books.

Talk,

If Karl gains something, he can communicate with her and she will be more willing to buy something of value.

Exuberant curiosity is an essential quality for every wizard apprentice.

"Volume 1 of the Dragonborn of Witchcraft Materials", "Speculations on the Influence of the Star Realm on the Material World - Written by the Second-Ring Wizard Grandal", "Exploration of Magical Creatures in the Ferro Empire", "The Life of a Legendary Blacksmith"...

"The star realm and the material world are mutually exclusive. Places close to the star realm are more likely to produce creatures or materials with special abilities."

"It is also of great benefit to wizards' practice."

"There are very few ethnic groups that do not have reproductive isolation, and the dragon tribe is one of them. If the dragon descendants possess dragon blood, they will definitely have special abilities. Their bodies can be used as raw materials for demonized items."

"The Flame Mountains of the Cologne family are rich in various materials containing fire attributes; there is a wind cave in the territory of Grand Duke Sac, which is suspected to be related to the legendary wind elves... There are spiritual creatures under the black swamp..."

In the security department's office, Karl was flipping through thick books and couldn't help but sigh:

"Knowledge is also a kind of wealth."

Before this, he didn't even know what the astral world was. In fact, he still doesn't know much about it now. He only knows that it is a plane different from the material world, and a lot of wizard knowledge is related to it.

As for witchcraft materials, they are also divided into various categories.

Dragonborn alone are divided into seven-color dragons, ancient dragons, half-dragons, etc...

"In the eyes of wizards, most extraordinary powers are related to the star realm, including legendary gods."

"Some special areas are bordered by the astral projection, so the creatures there have a high probability of possessing special abilities in some aspects."

"Well..."

"Isn't this the spiritual vein?"

"The place close to the star realm is the spiritual vein. The closer the distance, the more abundant the spiritual energy, and the faster the cultivation speed?"

Karl touched his chin, thoughtfully.

"Karl!"

A familiar voice sounded:

"It seems that you really plan to become a polymath in the future. What book are you reading this time?"

Kaili came over and flipped through the book cover:

"blacksmith?"

"Don't you want to learn anatomy?"

"Study." Karl closed the book and said:

"There is an old saying in my hometown, which is that if you have too many skills, you will never be overwhelmed. There will always be times when an extra skill will come in handy."

"Really?" Kaili shrugged:

"I've only heard of another saying: Carrying ten iron swords is worse than holding on to a spear."

"You can win by specializing in one thing!"

"Well..."

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the cover of the book, and he suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous.

It took several deep breaths to recover.

"It seems that I am really not suitable for studying."

Kaili shook his head:

"Just reading is as uncomfortable as being drunk. If I study seriously, wouldn't it kill me?"

Carl chuckled.

The book in his hand contains a weak stun spell, which will cause discomfort to those without witchcraft talent.

This is also to prevent certain knowledge from being known by ordinary people, and to select people with wizard talents.

"Right."

After coming back to his senses, Kaili whispered:

"Do you have any money on you?"

Um?

Karl frowned slightly and asked:

"I heard that you have borrowed money from a lot of people recently?"

"Who said that?" Kaili's expression changed drastically and he spoke angrily:

"It's not like I won't repay such nonsense!"

"Heh..." Karl chuckled and shook his head, and did not continue to ask:

"Tell me, how much can I borrow?"

"This..." Kaili hesitated and then said:

"Sixty pounds, after this period of time, I will definitely pay you back."

"Sixty pounds?" Karl raised his eyebrows.

The money was not much to him, but the other party knew about his family situation and knew that he would leave Signo City soon and would come to borrow money. If he were not familiar with Kaili's character, he would think that the other party was I borrowed money specifically and am not going to pay it back.

"Karl."

Kaili begged:

"I'm really in a hurry. If you have a lot of money, just do it as a favor to a friend. Our friendship is worth more than just sixty pounds, right?"

"...Okay." Karl sighed and took out eight gold coins from his body:

"Eighty pounds, the extra twenty pounds is my preference, but can you tell me what you want to do?"

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Kaili hurriedly took the gold coin and hurriedly put it into his arms:

"Don't worry, I definitely didn't do anything bad. When the matter is over, I will give you an explanation."

Saying this, without waiting for Karl to speak, he hurried towards the layman:

"I'm leaving first!"

Watching Kaili leave, Karl shook his head slightly, and then moved his eyes to the book in his hand. He did not feel the fraudulent mood swings in Kaili.

Maybe,

It's really about getting down to business.
