Chapter 061
Everyone knew what would happen if all the knights drank the Berserk Potion but failed to wipe out their opponents. Once the potion’s effects wore off, they would become too weak to even move and in such a situation, they would surely be slaughtered. Nevertheless, they were prepared to die in this battle.“For glory!”“For victory!”“PUSH ONWARD!”The knights roared and the glowing rings behind them began to overlap each other to form a wall of sorts. A powerful force instantly tore through the clouds.The gaze of the dragonhawk knight flickered when he saw this sight, but it was difficult to tell if he was feeling admiration for the knights’ bravery or if he was ready to slaughter them all. He raised his sword and brought it down to disperse Pudding’s poisonous smoke as the hawk flew down.A glow more terrifying than any other burst forth from his sword. Boom! The projection of light exploded in the
Chapter 062
A strange monster flew down from the top of the cliff. It had the body and sharp claws of a lion, and the head and wings of an eagle. Perhaps it was because its wings were very close to the sky, but they shone as brilliantly as sunshine. This griffin was a magical beast that was as formidable on land as it was in the sky. On top of that, its majestic mane made its appearance extremely domineering.An equally domineering-looking middle-aged man rode on the griffin’s back and looked even more imposing than the griffin as bright flashes of lightning danced around his body, giving it a unique glow.At the same time, the blinding sun had transformed back into the dragonhawk knight after that spear had pierced through it. There was a deep wound on his shoulder and he had been badly injured. He looked up with a grim look in his eye. “Grand Duke Karolin!”He immediately made the dragonhawk swoop down toward the magic circle around his fellow countrymen. The

The bloody battle at Fallen Eagle Cliff, the terrifying dragonhawk knight, then his eventual tumble into the abyss flashed in the young man’s mind in quick succession, making him clutch his head and groan in pain.He remembered everything now. He had fallen into the abyss, but Pudding managed to wrap itself around him and protected him from hitting any of the rocks. If not for the little snake, he would have broken every bone in his body the moment he landed. Then, after he had rolled over all the rocks, he felt right into the gushing river waters that swept him away. The raging current made it impossible for him to keep his head above the surface. No wonder he had kept feeling like he was about to drown.The river currents were very strong and there were many whirlpools under the surface too. Thankfully, he had Pudding to shield him and keep him from further harm.Carl instinctively touched his wrist. The little snake was still wrapped around his wrist and noti

“Good god! I can’t remember either!”“What’s going on?!”The other mercenary soldiers paled and looked horrified after they realized that they could not recall anything either. The craziest part was that if Carl had not brought this question up, none of them would have realized that part of their memory had been missing all this time.Carl had asked only because he had discovered that Don’s wound was very strange and did not seem like a simple superficial wound. He did not expect his innocent question to trigger such a reaction from everyone on board.Their horrified expressions piqued Carl’s curiosity. “Are all of you unable to remember anything, at all?”Gabriel went into a panic as he tried his best to recall. “I think we accepted a request, then… Wait, who put up this request?”His face was all red as he became even more frantic. Not only was he unable to recall who the c

“If you’re willing to help, I’ll be happy to have you.” Carl could understand why Hervor was so excited. This universe did not have schools like Earth to teach and train its inhabitants, so the only way to learn something new was to either learn it from an older member of the family, or to find a teacher and humbly ask them to become their disciple. This was the way things worked there, regardless of whether you had superpowers or not.By allowing Hervor to assist him in the concocting process, he was basically giving her the chance to learn how to make medicine from him.Of course, Carl did not think that the rowdy woman would be able to pick it up by just watching him once.He felt a lot more energized after he had finished his bowl of hot soup. “Let’s start then.”The woman looked stupefied. “Are you sure? We can always do this after dinner.”“I think it’s better to get them treated first.&

Carl found some random reason to refuse Hervor’s kind offer to escort him all the way to Philida City. After he had eaten dinner and his body had fully absorbed the medicine, a lethargic feeling overcame him and he returned to the ship to rest.Pudding had already rested enough and woken up, so Carl could sleep easy knowing that his pet snake would protect him from harm.The mercenary soldiers did not intend to sail at night either, so the entire army spent the night on the shore. They sat around the fire to drink, chat and have fun.Meanwhile, Hervor suspended a cauldron over the fire the same way Carl had, and attempted to replicate what he had done earlier. She was very disciplined and detailed as she followed his steps to a tee, putting in the correct herbs in the correct sequence before slowly mixing everything together. Half an hour later, she peered into the cauldron only to find that the mixture looked more like murky glue, and could only stare at it spe
Chapter 067
The sound of footsteps gathering from all directions could be heard as an army of well-disciplined soldiers surrounded the entire port. More stood atop the city walls in the distance and set up crossbows loaded with sharp arrows that glinted in the sunlight.This made everyone who was not a soldier within the port panic. Frantic screams and shouts filled the air and Carl could also sense the murderous intent of the soldiers. He was alarmed and wondered for a moment if his identity had been exposed and if Philigia had sent their army to capture him.His expression turned grim as he instinctively touched the bangle-like snake on his wrist. In a dangerous situation like this, Pudding became the only one he could count on.Just then, a middle-aged man who looked like their commander drew his saber and shouted, “Hervor’s Mercenary Army! We already know about your schemes to betray the country! You colluded with a lich to disturb the peace of Mount Saint Rolan!

“Mr. Apothecary, are you really a mage?” Hervor looked pleasantly surprised, but her voice betrayed her conflicted emotions.Carl remained silent for some time before replying honestly, “I’ve awakened my mental strength but I’ve not started learning anything yet. Therefore, I’m not a full-fledged mage and I really have no idea how to break this curse.”Hervor broke into a smile, a warm and sincere look in her eyes. “I believe you.”Gabriel scoffed and did not say anything, since he did not think that someone at Carl’s age could possibly have any means to undo what the lich had done to them.Thinking about the lich made Gabriel’s head hurt. He started to pace the cave worriedly and simply could not sit still. Hiding inside this cave was only a temporary solution for now. They would never get any peace for as long as they could not prove their innocence.The more he thought about it, the more fr

Carl stared at the creepy shadow made from black mist that kept wavering in the air and felt all his hair stand on end.“What in the world is that,” he thought, even though he already had an answer. That thing was the lich.There was no way the evil lich would allow his pawns to do whatever they liked. Casting the Obliviate Curse on them was only part of the plan. The real reason for doing so was to implant part of himself in each of the mercenary soldiers.Boom! The hidden entrance to the cave was suddenly blasted open and the moonlight shone in brightly.Carl looked toward the entrance and his gaze hardened. Another uninvited guest had turned up.A young woman who looked like she was only fourteen or fifteen was floating in mid-air in front of the entrance. Her skin was fair and supple, and her long silver-colored hair cascaded down her back. The moonlight from the green moon cast a faint glow on her body, making her look like an angel with a h

Since things had come to this, Carl decided to ask the question he had been wondering about all this time. “I’ve never come across a mercenary army where more than half the army is made up of superhumans.”Hervor opened her mouth to say something, but hesitated. Gabriel spoke up first, “That’s because you haven’t seen much of the world. As far as I know, the best mercenary armies are made up entirely of superhumans, so there’s nothing strange about that.”Carl then asked, “So, are you one of the best mercenary armies around?”“We’re…” Gabriel started and Hervor cut him off, “I’m really sorry but because of me, we cannot tell you anything about the background of this army. Besides, you didn’t tell us anything about your real identity either.”The man grumbled, “You didn’t have to apologize for that.”Even before Hervor had explained t
