Wizard, I have a different world
Chapter 151 The Blacksmith and the City Lord
Carl held the worn-out pocket watch in his hand, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"I was still worrying about how to get in, and someone brought the key to my door. But I didn't lie to him. Ordinary people who enter the Dark Market will only be eaten as food, and they can exchange it for some money."
"Click..."
The pocket watch made a crisp sound, pointing out the entrance.
Carl turned around and stepped towards the wall on the side. His body disappeared as if he had sunk into the water.
At the same time.
A layer of faint spiritual light emerged from the pocket watch and wrapped him in it.
To enter the Dark Market, you need a special token. Every time the market opens, the token will mark the location of the entrance, and this worn-out pocket watch is one of the tokens.
A flash of light in front of my eyes.
The scene suddenly changed.
It was already approaching dusk outside, and the sky was getting dark.
But in front of me, it was as bright as day, but the light source came from the stars in the sky, not the scorching sun.
Star Realm!
Yes and no.
Carl could feel that there was still some kind of restriction here, and the wizard's mental power could not easily attract the energy of the star realm.
But at the same time,
this place no longer belongs to the human world, and some "laws" are entangled in the flesh.
"Quack...Quack..."
"Welcome to the Dark Market!"
A flower shaped like a sunflower poked out its slender flower path from the side and smiled at Carl flatteringly.
The flower that was originally full of seeds turned into a woman's cheek, and there were bits of minced meat between her teeth.
Seeing Carl's gaze, the woman's face immediately licked her teeth with her tongue, swallowed the minced meat into her mouth and chewed it carefully.
At its feet, there were a few clothes and some bones.
Ogre Flower!
The guardian of the Dark Market.
There are countless lives of this kind hidden in the clusters of flowers around.
After being hungry for a year, they will pick out ordinary people who sneak into the market and eat them to satisfy themselves.
If the young man just came in, the things under the feet of the Ogre Flower would be his fate.
"Please remember."
"The Dark Market does not allow the use of force, otherwise you will be expelled by the power of rules. As for where you went..."
"So far, no one who was expelled has returned."
"Three streets and six houses are forbidden areas. Of course, you can go in if you must, as long as you don't worry about not being able to get out."
"Don't leave the market. No one can guarantee what you will encounter. Maybe it's the blessing of the gods. Quack... quack..."
The Ogre Flower laughed like a frog, as if showing off its sense of humor.
"Don't anger the blacksmith Gando. His hammer can easily smash you into a meat pie..."
"He is the only person who can take action in this market."
"Maybe it's a human?"
"Anyway."
The Ogre Flower lowered its 'head' and said respectfully:
"I hope you can gain something at the market."
Carl continued to move forward.
Crossing the dense forest where the Ogre Flower was, three forks leading to the endless direction appeared in front of him.
There is a street at the end of each fork.
A signpost is inserted in the middle, with three signs nailed on it.
The sign pointing to the left is engraved with a bright rose, which is the symbol of the bloodthirsty rose.
Bloodthirsty rose!
An organization similar to the temple in the other world.
The leader is said to be a vampire walking in the dark night, and the origin is related to a fallen god.
They are good at providing weapons that suck the vitality of others, as well as various magic props.
The sign on the right is engraved with a hammer handle, which is the symbol of the blacksmith Gando.
This one is a permanent resident of the Dark Market. No one knows how long he has lived and how strong he is.
There are even rumors.
The reason why several grand dukes allowed the Dark Market to exist is because there is a blacksmith Gando in the market.
The sign in the middle is engraved with books stacked together, which is the symbol of the wise man, but that existence has long disappeared.
Vampires, blacksmiths, and wise men, they formed the Dark Market, but there is only one left now.
After thinking for a while,
Karl walked towards the right road.
He was very curious about the blacksmith Gando, who should be a strong man who survived the war of the gods.
Moreover,
In Boken's memory, the blacksmith Gando was not dangerous.
Not far ahead, a street full of weeds and deserted houses on both sides came into view.
Some houses have been occupied, and the occupiers have placed goods at the door of the house.
"The dark elves in the territory of Grand Duke Joe are the darlings of the night and have a cruel and bloodthirsty nature."
A hunchbacked old man stood behind several bird cages and shouted loudly:
"Only three thousand kilograms of meat, and they belong to you!"
There were no birds in the bird cages, but palm-sized elves. Unlike the elves recorded in the book, the elves in the cages had dark skin, sharp teeth and claws, and kept attacking the bird cages.
The wings behind them flapped out afterimages, colliding back and forth in the cages, and they did not stop even if they were covered with wounds.
With their speed and sharp claws, they can easily destroy a war squad after being released.
To capture them alive...
The Great Knight must take action.
"Soul fragments!"
A person hidden in a dark cloak stopped at the door of the house, and in front of him were flying soul fragments.
"Knight-level soul fragments are 1,000 kilograms of fine meat, and Great Knight soul fragments are 5,000 kilograms of fine meat."
"The tamed mountain monster giant is as strong as a peak-level knight, and the price is only eight thousand kilograms of refined meat."
"The special seal of burning hand, although it is not a super seal, its power is not bad. The price..."
"..."
Karl walked forward, his face motionless, but his heart was secretly frightened.
As expected of a dark market, there is really something for everyone and everything for sale, which is eye-opening.
‘Fine meat! ’
‘After removing the skin, bones, and other parts of an adult wolf, the real meat is only a dozen kilograms. ’
‘One thousand kilograms of lean meat means nearly a hundred adult wolves! ’
‘It seems that not only Archduke Ferdinand’s territory, but also people in other places are paying more and more attention to food. ’
‘Refined meat has replaced divine grace coins as the hard currency in the dark market, and it is estimated that the outside world will do the same in a few years. ’
'but……'
Karl's eyes turned, thoughtfully:
‘Although the people in the market have their own weird auras, most of them are still in the stage of great knights. ’
‘There are not many people who truly possess first-order strength, and even fewer are in the mid-first-order. So far, we have not encountered anyone in the late first-order. ’
Although people in this world may possess some rare objects and secret skills, and have the ability to defeat the weak with the strong.
Like Connie.
But he is in the middle of the first level, and he has many wizarding methods. He is also a master in the market.
"when……"
"when!"
The crash brought Carl back to his senses.
At the end of the market, a building larger than the other houses was shaking in an orderly manner.
Um?
Not a building!
But a person!
A burly giant over seven meters tall.
The giant has thick hair and is half squatting. He is holding a huge hammer and is forging a weapon.
As he waved his arms and his hair shook, chains as thick as his arms were revealed.
One end of the chain extended under the earth, and the other end trapped him firmly in place, with only room for movement to swing the hammer.
He was not squatting, but kneeling on the ground.
Gando the blacksmith!
In Karl's perception, the giant in front of him was like a scorching sun, blooming with extremely terrifying energy.
Second level?
No!
It's probably level three!
"when……"
The sound of beating suddenly stopped.
The hair on the giant's face spread to both sides, revealing a pair of cloudy eyes, staring at Karl.
"Young man, don't spy on me with your weird methods, otherwise... my hammer will fall on you next time."
As he spoke, he raised his arm and suddenly dropped it.
"when!"
The terrifying loud noise spread throughout the market, the earth shook with the splashing sparks, and Karl's body couldn't help but tense up.
An extreme sense of oppression even made it difficult for him to breathe, and even his thoughts stopped for a moment.
fear!
horrible!
It was just pure power, but it made Karl's heart beat wildly, and even the blood of the abyss trembled.
"Feel sorry."
After calming down, he bowed and spoke:
"Dear Gando, please forgive my momentary curiosity."
"Curious?" Gan Duo snorted coldly, his voice like thunder echoing in his ears:
"These two words have killed many powerful beings, but I guess you can't remember them either."
He snorted again.
"I can forge, repair, and upgrade weapons here, as well as sell sigils. You can exchange them for divine favor, soul fragments, or flesh."
"Great divine favor?" Karl raised his head:
"Senior, what do you want from God?"
"Of course he is alive." Gando withdrew his gaze, stopped paying attention to Karl, continued to beat the weapon in his hand, and muttered:
"It's all about staying alive!"
alive?
Karl intentionally asked, but the other party's attitude was indifferent and he was obviously unwilling to mention more.
After thinking for a while he asked:
"Senior, what seals are sold here?"
"Two kinds." Gan Duo kept beating:
"Eagle Eye and Speedy, each has ten thousand kilograms of flesh or ten knight-level soul fragments."
"Eagle Eye? Speedy Travel?" Carl frowned:
"Senior, these two kinds of seals are too common and of very low quality. They don't seem to be worth the price."
"Humph!" Gan Duo hummed:
"The grade of my seal is better than the ones outside, and it is fresh. There is a great chance to learn new abilities from it."
?
Carl was skeptical.
"senior."
He took out a high-quality beast pill and placed it in front of him:
"How much meat can this thing be worth?"
"Zhou Wan." Gando actually knew Zhu Wan, glanced at it, and said:
"Five hundred pills for one seal."
"...Okay!" Karl gritted his teeth:
"I want the Eagle Eye Seal."
With a wave of his hand, he took out all the beast pills in the storage space, and put the wooden boxes full of beast pills neatly together.
A large part of them are supplies from the store. I took them out this time and will have to find ways to replenish them after I return.
"good."
There was a hint of laughter in Gando's voice.
He finally let go of the big hand holding the hammer, reached into the void, and fished out a broken corpse.
He casually tore off a piece of meat from the corpse and threw it down.
"Give!"
"Eagle Eye Seal!"
With that said, he waved his hand and the body disappeared.
Um?
Is this how the Dharma Seal came about?
Karl was stunned.
"What?" Gando held the sledgehammer again:
"Surprised?"
"I am indeed a little surprised." Karl came back to his senses, took the meat strips, and said with a complicated expression:
"The seal actually comes from someone else's corpse?"
"The corpse of a strong man contains his original power. After simple processing, it becomes the seal in your hand." Gan Duo said in a calm voice:
"After I die, I will probably be able to make a seal that increases my strength."
"You're a little late here. Decades ago, I had a super-grade seal for sale here."
Super quality seal.
Naturally, it is the body of a stronger person in life.
No wonder the Grand Duke's territory has produced fewer and fewer seals in recent years. It must be that the corpses are running out.
"Huh..." Karl shook his head and asked tentatively:
"Senior, are there any holy skills for sale here?"
"Holy skill?" Gando glanced at him:
"That's something you can only use if you follow the path of a knight. For a being like me... what I cultivate is my talent."
"young people!"
"I know you have a lot of questions to ask, but do you know how I survived that war?"
Before Karl could speak, he continued:
"Put away your pitiful curiosity and don't pry into certain existences, so that you can have a slight chance of survival."
"That's why I survived and everyone else died!"
Karl took a deep look at the other person. No matter what, the being in front of him was the first level three person he had come into contact with.
And it's not dangerous.
The existence of the third level itself contains many mysteries, not to mention that the other party has survived the war of the gods.
Even if the other person is indifferent, you should still bother him more in the future.
…………
After leaving the dark market, sitting cross-legged on the magic flying carpet and rising into the air, Karl lowered his head and examined the meat strips in his hand.
It is two fingers long and one finger thick. The meat is pink and tender, and full of toughness. It is indeed very fresh as Gando said.
"Dharma Seal..."
Shaking his head slightly, he put the strip of meat in his hand on his face.
The facial flesh immediately cracked, as if the serrations on the tentacles were biting into the strips of flesh, swallowing them bit by bit.
The strips of flesh squirmed like living creatures, turning into tiny blood streaks and oozing towards the eyes.
moment.
Karl's eyes turned blood red.
His pupils began to enlarge and contract irregularly, and the blood vessels inside them also changed under the influence of the seal.
soon.
Karl squinted his eyes and fell asleep for a moment, then opened his eyes again. When his sight was closed, the scene outside was clearly visible.
The pupils were dilated, and the dust in front of his eyes was fine and discernible.
"It's somewhat useful, but not very useful. The improvement in perception of the legendary knight realm is almost nonexistent."
"What's more, I still have the third level of abyssal bloodline."
Shaking his head, and just as he was about to give up trying, Karl raised his eyebrows and looked down at the City of Death.
In his field of vision, a black mist swirled in the ground of the City of Death.
This aura was far less condensed than Gan Duo, but it was extremely vast, and it even branched out into countless threads covering the entire city.
As far as the eye can see.
Almost everyone in the City of Death has a black line connected to the black mist below.
The reason why I say almost is because some people don’t have it, or they don’t have it yet.
"As long as you live in the city of death for a period of time, you will never be able to escape it for the rest of your life unless you get atonement."
"No wonder there are such rules, it turns out they are like this!"
Karl was suddenly enlightened:
"This city has a huge barrier. Anyone who enters it will be targeted by the black thread. After living in the city for a period of time, the black thread can connect people to the existence at the core of the barrier."
"No wonder merchants dare not stay in the city for too long. Otherwise, if they are caught, not being allowed to leave the city will mean that the black line will harvest their lives."
"City Lord!"
"Daughter of Death!"
"She is using the lives of nearly a million people in the entire city to maintain her strength, but she is still not at the third level."
Karl squinted:
"No!"
"There is something that is devouring her energy. Without the support of these millions of people, her strength will definitely be weakened!"
"Um?"
"Discovered!"
The corners of Karl's eyes suddenly became hot, and two tears of blood flowed from his eyes. He immediately hid in the dark market in a flash.
The seal is broken!
However, after he entered the dark market, the lingering sense of crisis disappeared.
"What a risk!"
Karl wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, and wiped the blood and tears from his face.
‘The state of Maivia, the daughter of death, should be the norm for the powerful in this world. Her strength has been suppressed and weakened in some way, so they dare not and cannot show up easily, and have been huddled in their lairs for many years. ’
'This limit...'
‘There is a high probability that it is the second order! ’
‘No wonder the strong men in this world rarely take action, and even if they do, it’s usually a quick victory. ’
Karl touched his chin, chose an unoccupied house in the market, entered it, and casually hung a sign at the door.
"Purchasing holy skills and rare items, the price is negotiable!"
In the next period of time, he planned to wander around the dark market to see if he could find what he wanted.
We also need to find Lev, the deacon of the church, and Yana, who is most likely hiding here.
