"What's this?" Harold looked at the bottle of bright red liquid. An urge rose from deep within him the moment he set his eyes on it."It's a drug," explained Carl. "If you drink it, I believe you'll be able to regain your strength, but the effects only last for about three minutes. Therefore, you either have to defeat your enemy by then, or prepare to be killed by your enemy. Do you want to give it a go?"As they were speaking, the girl with cat ears charged toward the berserker with the sickle.When the weapon collided with the berserker's double-headed ax, sparks flew and the impact was clearly too much for her to take. She flew backward and crashed heavily on the ground."Tina!" Harold's eyes bulged and he did not hesitate any longer. He grabbed the bottle from Carl's hands and downed the contents.The apothecary watched on with bated breath. Harold had suffered very severe injuries, so Carl had no idea if the Berserk Potion would work on him.Severa

It was likely that some other faction was involved in this deal between the Thunderstorm Pirates and the customs officer. That would explain why the authorities had not sent anybody to take control of the situation even though it was clearly chaos everywhere in the city.Carl even suspected that the alleged report about the pirates in Wiebar Village was merely a ruse by the Thunderstorm Pirates to lure the troops at the port away so that they could infiltrate the city easily.In any case, given how messy things were out here, Carl felt that it was best to bring Harold and the girl with cat ears back to the castle so that they could seek refuge by Melissa's side. As long as she was willing to protect them, nobody would dare barge into the castle and try to hurt them.However, even after Carl had explained everything patiently to the girl with cat ears, she remained silent."Are you worried about something?" asked Carl.She replied, "We've robbed a ship that b

Carl's words made Melissa blink in surprise at him for a moment. She asked a little curiously, "How did you do that?""One of the pirates was severely injured, so I performed a surgery on him and treated his injuries," explained Carl. "After that, their enemies turned up at our doorstep, so I helped them kill their enemies and got them out of their crisis.""Sounds like you did a really good job," said Melissa with an amused smile. "So, you've helped the injured and displayed great courage in fighting off their enemies. Should I reward you for these deeds?"Carl was unable to discern Melissa's true thoughts on this matter, so he scratched his head and said, "Actually, the two of them have already left the Thunderstorm Pirates. The pirate whom Milton and I ran into was actually on his way to hunt them down.""They betrayed the pirates?" Melissa was rather surprised to hear this.Carl nodded and added, "They told me that the captain of the Thunderstorm Pirates

"Mr. Gerald, you've been poisoned?" Carl looked Gerald up and down in shock, but failed to detect anything amiss. If the merchant was suffering from some illness, Carl might not be able to tell. Being poisoned, however, should have been very obvious."It's not me…" Gerald burst out laughing at Carl's reaction. He hesitated for a while, then looked at Melissa and said, "Your Ladyship, do you know where Zwart Gorge is?"Melissa's gaze flickered. "The one near Mount Dwarsbalk?""That's right," said Gerald with a nod. "If you travel 40 miles east of Eisen Castle, you will reach Zwart Gorge, located at the intersection between Mount Dwarsbalk and Zwart Forest. The best wood, especially for the main body of ships, is all from there."Melissa smiled faintly. "As far as I know, Zwart Gorge is not only the best source for wood, but it also has high-quality bronze and iron ores that are excellent for making armor and weapons.""If my memory serves me right, Zwa
Chapter 025
Gerald\'s desperate plea shocked everyone in the room.Carl, however, did not seem to have heard Gerald, and went around the merchant to take a look at the people lying on the floor. Their faces were pale, they were unconscious and seemed to be running a fever, as though they had all been infected with a contagious disease. He carefully pulled up the shirt of one of them to see if their bodies had any bruises or wounds.When Gerald saw what Carl was doing, he quickly piped up, \"None of them have any injuries, and that\'s why the priest suspects that they might have eaten something poisonous or breathed in toxic air, which would have knocked them out like this.\"Carl paused to think for a while, then got Milton to pierce one of the victims\' fingers. A drop of bright red blood instantly oozed out.He took a close look at the blood and furrowed his brows. \"I can\'t tell what poison they\'re suffering from. In fact, I suspect that they\'ve not been poisoned at al

The green smoke surrounded everyone in an instant.Carl was shocked by the sudden development and tried to run from the smoke, but soon realized he could not. Even the sunny skies had darkened because of the fumes.“What’s going on?”“What poisonous smoke is this?”“My head’s spinning…”Panic and chaos quickly took over.Someone cried out, “Escort Mr. Gerald out, now!”Several loyal subordinates carried Gerald as they ran off the same way they had come in from. The remaining mercenary soldiers exchanged glances, some choosing to leave and some choosing to stay.Carl began yelling anxiously, “Milton! Milton!”Thud! Thud! Carl realized in horror that the mercenary soldiers around him were fainting one after another. Their faces were pale and they had lost consciousness.These were the same symptoms as Larson and the rest in the villa. So, the reason for thes
Chapter 027
Seeing Larson waking up so easily, everyone in the room was floored. They stared at Carl\'s hand and wondered if this young man had some mysterious power that was even more incredible than the healing spells that the priests of the temple had.Some of them had also noticed some liquid on Carl\'s finger, but they did not make things difficult by questioning the apothecary. The only thing that mattered was that Larson had awakened and everyone was overjoyed by this.As Carl went to revive the others in the villa, Gerald approached Larson and let out a big sigh of relief. \"Master Larson, thank heavens for their protection! I\'m so glad that you\'re ok.\"Larson was still in a daze and his head was heavy. He had barely any strength left in his body. He raised his large, bony and rough palm to stroke his beard as his confused mind slowly began to clear up.\"Gerald…\" His voice was hoarse after being unconscious for an entire day. \"How is everyone else?\"

The green smoke came toward them like a huge ocean wave, instantly filling the entire crater and spreading even beyond. It looked terrifying, but none of the knights even flinched. They were not affected by the green smoke at all. The drug that Carl had sprayed on them turned out to be effective after all, and everyone was relieved about that.Henry was excited and drew his sword. \"Everyone! Let\'s go!\"Even though they were prepared for the effects of the green smoke, this snake was still an unknown enemy to them, so they decided to err on the side of caution. The knights leaped to the edge of the crater nearest to the hole first before slowly surrounding the hole.Ralph and Milton were behind Henry, ready to help anytime. Several other knights were standing inside the crater with their bows pulled back, ready to shoot if the snake came out of the hole.The rest who did not have any combat abilities like Carl, watched from a safe distance.Henry hopped in

Carl's first reaction was to just kick it aside, but when he noticed how it did not look like the other rocks, a thought hit him and he picked it up immediately.He looked at it more closely and realized that the pebble looked a little like a chicken's egg. The surface was smooth with some strange lines on it. He threw the pebble from one hand to another and was quite surprised by how heavy it was for its size.Gerald walked over to see Carl examining the pebble. "Carl, what are you looking at?"The apothecary passed the pebble to the merchant and said, "Is this part of the meteorite?""Hmm, it could be." Gerald gave it a quick glance and returned it to Carl. Even if it were really part of the meteorite, it was too small to warrant any attention.Instead, he went over to the big one weighing down the snake's tail with great excitement. Now that the snake was dead, he could dig the area all he wanted.Carl shrugged and stuffed it into his pocket with the

The strange glow on his finger pulsated like ripples.Carl realized that the bite the snake had given him was not painful. It felt more like the snake was trying to get something from him, as if wanted a response. In that moment, a magical and wonderful feeling washed over the young man.He felt like he could now communicate with the baby snake. He could now understand everything that the snake was thinking about.The baby snake was sleepy and wanted to sleep, so it coiled itself within his palm, shut its eyes and did just that.Carl stared at the tiny snake in his palm. He was a little perplexed, but also pleasantly surprised. He started to feel sleepy as well, so he laid back down on his bed and succumbed to his drowsiness.The next day, he opened his eyes to see the baby snake sitting on top of his chest and flicking its tiny tongue out at him. He stiffened in fear and felt his entire body go numb.Then, he felt a strange sensation. It was as if his
