Chapter 187: The Wedding
Chapter 187: The Wedding
The Wizard Tower slowly rose into the sky, eventually disappearing into the clouds.
Karl approached the edge of the tower's foundation and peered down, shaking his head with a hint of helplessness.
"To think that someone with such a humble Wizard Tower would dare to hold a grand trading event. I'm probably the only one."
His Wizard Tower had only the most basic foundation.
In other words,
No second floor! Not even a single wall on the first floor, just a simple base with a few Witchcraft spells engraved upon it.
The strongest spell, a First Ring Spell, was a natural ability of the foundation, and currently, there wasn't a second First Ring Spell engraved.
"Fortunately, with the replacement and modification of the Floating Stones, it has become a floating Wizard Tower that I can take anywhere."
"Heh..."
"This is truly taking it everywhere I go!"
Other floating Wizard Towers could change their location, but with various restrictions. Karl, however, was different.
He could store his Wizard Tower within the Divine Domain Fragment and take it out whenever he needed to use it.
This provided a great deal of convenience.
"Within the range of the Wizard Tower, even a Second Ring Wizard can give it a try. There's no need to fear any First Ring Wizard."
"In the Magic Forest, I finally have some foundation."
"However..."
Karl raised his hands:
"To forge iron, one must first strengthen oneself!"
He wasn't in a rush to explore the collapsed Divine Realm in the other world. For now, he planned to improve his strength first.
Some time later.
"Boom!"
Within his body, spiritual energy surged, gathering behind him through his hair and forming a giant Buddha statue. The Buddha's hands lifted slightly.
Thousand Buddha Hands! Karl's hands formed intricate seals, as if more than ten palms were simultaneously pressing seals, before suddenly transforming into a single palm seal.
Vajra Release!
"Peng!"
The air in front of him seemed to be struck by a giant hammer, abruptly stirring up a violent wave, with gusts of wind sweeping across several dozen meters.
"Good!"
Karl's eyes lit up:
"Ten-Hand Realm!"
"I've finally achieved it."
Without relying on the Wizard Tower, without using tentacles, he had reached the Ten-Hand Realm solely through his own cultivation.
"With the perfected Bronze Body, the Ten-Hand Realm's Thousand Buddha Hands, and the enhancement of Witchcraft, I should now be able to withstand a late-stage First Ring Wizard."
"Next..."
Karl turned his head, looking at the Humpback Leviathan eggs placed not far away. He swallowed, his eyes gleaming with fervor.
"If I can break through the Bronze Body, I'll be able to defeat any First Ring opponent!"
"Flap, flap..."
Just as he was about to continue his cultivation, a bird used for sending messages collided with the barrier.
"Hmm?"
"Harvey is getting married to Grei?"
...
Harvey was his nominal disciple, and Grei had helped the store a lot. He had to attend the wedding.
"Mentor!"
Today, Harvey was dressed in formal knight attire, his hair neatly styled, making him look radiant.
"Congratulations!"
Karl nodded and handed over a small gift he had prepared:
"Be good to your wife. She shouldn't be walking around too much right now."
"Yes."
Harvey gave an embarrassed smile. The two were getting married due to the pregnancy, and Grei's belly was already showing.
Extra care was indeed necessary at this time.
"Mentor, this way, please. Auntie has prepared a seat for you."
As he walked, various scrutinizing gazes and hidden mental waves swept over him, but Karl was used to it.
As someone who had defeated a late-stage First Ring opponent, it was only natural that he would attract a lot of attention at the wedding.
However, among them were likely to be 'enemies'.
"Mr. Cannon!"
"Engle!"
The two men, both First Ring Wizards, sat at the same table. Karl couldn't help but smirk.
A First Ring Mid-stage Wizard! What's going on? How did he catch up so quickly? What kind of opportunity did he get that his cultivation progress seemed like it was propelled by a rocket?
"Cannon, Engle."
Nina, dressed in her finest, approached and introduced the handsome man beside her:
"Let me introduce you to Master Wizard Cromwell from the Dusk Cloud Bazaar."
"He's also Linda's brother!"
She intentionally added the word 'Master' before 'Wizard', which was usually used for Second Ring Wizards.
But her words were spoken with a smile, clearly a joke.
"Nina, don't make fun of me." Master Wizard Cromwell shook his head helplessly:
"I'm just a homeless wandering wizard. Thank you for the Walker Family's hospitality."
Their proximity also attracted the attention of many, especially some wealthy ladies whose gazes seemed magnetically drawn to Cromwell.
He was an extremely handsome young man with chiseled features, exuding masculine charm.
Even Nina smiled warmly and affectionately in his presence.
"Please take a seat, everyone."
After nodding to Karl, Nina looked towards the entrance, her expression changing subtly:
"I'll go greet the guests."
"Hmm..." Engle spoke softly:
"The Perro Family has also sent someone?"
Currently, the Walker and Perro Families were in a heated dispute. If it weren't for the special circumstances of the Dream Bazaar, they would have come to blows long ago.
This time, Harvey's wedding caught the guests off guard.
Unexpectedly, the Perro family didn’t provoke any trouble; they only coldly delivered their congratulatory gifts and left.
Karl stroked his chin, his eyes flickering.
‘They have their eyes on me. But it’s normal to be targeted after killing a late first-rank member of their family.’
"Congratulations!"
"Thank you! Thank you!"
"..."
The wedding ceremony was officiated by an elder of the Scott family, with the couple exchanging vow rings.
Legend has it that.
A long, long time ago, in the Magic Forest, there was an affectionate couple. They forged a pair of wizardcraft rings for each other.
If the wearer of the ring was injured, the damage would be partially transferred to the other party through the magic of the ring.
If one party died, the other would die as well.
This token of vows and love later became an indispensable part of the wedding ceremony.
Of course,
there was only one true pair of vowrings.
"Family continuation, you must spread branches and leaves, strive to have more children!" Nina was clearly drunk, patting Harvey’s shoulder, crying and laughing at the same time:
"Pity your grandfather can’t see this scene..."
"Aunt." Harvey forced a laugh:
"Go back and rest."
"Okay." Sorceress Linda supported Nina, addressing Harvey:
"I’ll take her back, you tend to the guests."
"Thank you."
"No problem."
As the two women passed by Karl’s long table, Nina broke free from SorceressLinda’s support, leaning toward Karl:
"Clack... burp..."
"Mr. Kenny, I have something to say to you."
"MissNina." Karl stood up, slightly avoiding the intense alcohol scent from her body:
"Please say it."
"I can’t say it here." Nina grinned, grabbing his hand and leading him to the second-floor bedroom.
"Clang..."
Dragging Karl into the bedroom, she locked the door and then leaned into him, her body soft.
"Thanks for the DemonFace Bloodvine."
"No need." Karl shook his head:
"What you gave me was persuasive, it’s a mutuallybeneficial deal."
"Regardless, I need to thank you." Nina whispered softly:
"To you, the demonFace blood vine was just an item for trade, but to me, it’s the hopefor theWalker family to continue."
"Thank you!"
"Mr. Karl!"
Karl’s eyes narrowed.
She addressed him as Karl, not as Kenny!
"No." Nina placed her hands on Karl’s shoulders, her red lips close, the mix of alcohol and body scent:
"Unrelated to old Brin."
"There are always some special ways in this world to see through a person’s disguise, even if it’s very well done. So, Mr. Karl from the sixthCircle tower, what doyouthink?"
"What do you want?" karl’s face darkened.
His identity was irrelevant before, but if it were to leak now, gold would not let it go.
"you’re too nervous."
Nina pressed her head to karl’s chest, her hands sliding gently:
"don’t worry, i won’t tell anyone, it’s no good for me or the walker family."
"I know you offended the green family’s gold, so… it’s actually better that you stay in the magic forest, the walker family can provide you with the help you need."
"Miss nina." karl sighed:
"Let’s talk without touching, can we?"
He was a man, and in a certain sense, a virile, energetic man.
Teased by a woman of such striking figure and appearance, it was impossible to have no reaction.
"Hehe." nina lowered her head, her long hair covering her cheeks, murmuring:
"what my father did was wrong, as his daughter, i should apologize, so…this is my apology!"
The two figures rolled over, falling onto the soft bed.
...
"What’s going on?"
Crumwell’s face darkened:
"where’s nina?"
"she took Mr. Kenny upstairs." Sorceress linda frowned:
"this is the walker family’s old manor, with a sorcery realm. i don’t know which room they went to."
"how could this happen!" crumwell clenched his fists:
"i was prepared, i even arranged something for her, if she...with another man..."
"bang!"
"find!"
"we must find her!"
He had spent a lot of time and effort on nina for this very day.
And now...
The woman who was supposed to be in his bed was missing, and with another man.
How could he not be anxious?
Sorceress linda looked up, her face showing worry.
"Even if we find her now, it might beTooLate."
