Chapter 212: Sweeping
Chapter 212: Sweeping
Karl never forgot that he had once acquired a magic from a gray-robed wizard named Addison.
Soul Splitting Technique!
This was a magic that could split the soul, sealing a portion of it within a soul box. If the main body perished, the soul would resurrect with the aid of the soul box, although it would weaken one's strength, it could preserve life. It was said to be an ancient lich's cultivation magic.
However, the complete version of this magic belonged to the Third Circle, and its cultivation was extremely dangerous for First and Second Circle wizards.
The split-off soul might even backfire on the main body.
"But..."
"If we add Nightmare Galoria's Possession Spell, we can resolve this defect."
But similarly,
The weakened version of the Soul Splitting Technique also lost the purpose of the soul box. The main body couldn't resurrect after death.
"It doesn't matter."
Karl smiled indifferently:
"Right now, I just want to get out. Using the soul box to give myself an extra life is unnecessary."
Unless it was a situation like Addison, a gray-robed wizard with no choice, he wouldn't cultivate it.
In the following days, Karl handed over trivial matters to Evelyn and began his closed-door cultivation.
"Please rest assured, Master. I will handle everything for you," Evelyn said, bowing with a token in her hand. Her face was filled with joy as she turned and strode out.
"Second Sister!"
"Aunt!"
"What's going on?"
The Perro family's survivors had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and when they saw her, they rushed forward eagerly.
"It's done!"
Evelyn clenched her teeth, and with a fierce swing of her arm, she said,
"Mr. Cannon... The Master has ordered all the members of the three major families to leave the Dream Marketplace within seven days."
"Those who don't want to leave, don't have to!"
"And..."
A smile appeared on her face:
"Apart from personal belongings, nothing else can be taken. Everything belongs to me... to the Master."
"Let's go!"
"We'll go to the Allen family first!"
The token in her hand carried a strand of energy from the Dream Orb, allowing her to cast spells to a certain extent.
At this moment,
In the entire Dream Marketplace, apart from Karl, only Evelyn could display the strength of a wizard.
Naturally, there was no need for concern!
"I never would have thought," someone sighed,
"The four great families of the marketplace, and our Perro family is the first to fall. Yet, the one standing here in the end is from our family!"
"Indeed!"
"The last remaining family in the Dream Marketplace is this insignificant branch of ours..."
"It's like a fantasy!"
"Now, there are no more four great families. The entire Dream Marketplace belongs to Mr. Cannon."
"Yes!"
"You're right."
Karl only mentioned driving people away, but how to do it? What about those who don't leave? There was a lot of room for negotiation, and for Evelyn's lineage, this was an opportunity to gain benefits.
In the following days,
The Dream Marketplace was in chaos.
The members of the four great families cried out in despair, and those with enemies outside looked utterly hopeless.
Not everyone had the courage to leave a place they had lived in for over a hundred years and face the unknown outside world.
Evict!
Search!
Suppress!
Evelyn even formed an enforcement team, intending to thoroughly clean up the Dream Marketplace.
Unexpectedly,
After her actions, not only did the members of the four great families leave, but other merchants and wizards did as well.
"What's going on?"
Looking at the empty marketplace, Evelyn was dumbfounded:
"Where did everyone go?"
If the 'Master' found out that she had not only driven away the members of the four great families but also ruined the marketplace, then...
Just thinking about the possible consequences made her shiver.
"Second Sister."
Someone spoke up:
"It's not-so-great situation. In the past, the Dream Marketplace had the four great families, which kept each other in check. No one dared to go too far, so merchants could do business without worrying about suppression or retaliation."
"Now, with one family dominating the marketplace, those who don't know Mr. Cannon's character would definitely be worried."
"Moreover..."
He glanced outside and said,
"Now, everyone knows that Mr. Cannon has offended the Sixth Circle Tower. Can this place still be safe?"
"Of course, they left!"
"Well..." Evelyn hesitated, "Will the Master accept this explanation?"
"Probably..."
"I hope so."
Evelyn looked at her brother and covered her face with her hands:
"The lives of everyone in our lineage are in the Master's hands."
A month later.
"Master!"
Evelyn presented a document with a flattering smile:
"These are the documents I gathered from the various families during this period. I've placed them all in your basement.
"In addition to the three complete Wizard Towers, there are also two half-finished ones, and some potions to enhance one's spiritual power."
"That's right..."
"I also have a few Second Tier Heritage teachings, all sealed and hidden from prying eyes, including my own."
There were quite a few items, but apart from the three Wizard Towers, the rest held little value for Karl.
He didn't lack heritage teachings.
What he lacked was top-tier teachings and unique secret techniques.
As for resources...
The heads of the three major families had all fallen by his hand, and their Wizard Robes and Staffs naturally became his spoils of war.
Not to mention the wealthy Gold, who possessed numerous Second Tier Seals. Karl had no shortage of resources.
Seeing Karl unmoved, Evelyn stepped forward again, presenting the ultimate temptation:
"These are the Spirit Wisper Drops refined by Blaze."
Karl's eyes lit up.
The Spirit Wisper Drops were primarily crafted from Soul Cores, with the addition of several rare materials and dozens of common ingredients.
They could significantly enhance a Wizard's spiritual power.
Even for a Second Circle Wizard, consuming these potions would have remarkable effects.
Divination Spell!
The Wizard Aura enveloped the amber-like potion, and a rich, vibrant energy surged within him.
Indeed!
Karl took the Spirit Wisper Drops and swallowed them in one gulp, closing his eyes to savor the effects before speaking:
"Only one drop?"
"There's another drop." Evelyn spoke cautiously:
"Since it was the first time refining this potion, Blaze made a few mistakes. But with sufficient materials, the success rate will surely increase in the future."
Karl's expression turned slightly somber.
Based on the current success rate, consuming the potion for cultivation might not be as effective as directly using Soul Cores.
"Hmm..."
"Never mind!"
"It's always like this in the beginning. Once the success rate improves, the potion will undoubtedly be more potent than direct consumption."
"Yes." Evelyn nodded in agreement, hesitating for a moment before continuing:
"Recently, the marketplace..."
"Everyone has left?" Karl asked.
"I know."
"It's their loss; they don't know the value of the owner." Evelyn sighed in relief and continued to flatter:
"As long as you, Master, announce your presence, those who can't make it on their own will naturally return."
"It's just that..."
"The Sixth Circle High Tower has built two new Wizard Towers near the marketplace, which might cause some trouble."
She glanced at Karl as she spoke.
These two newly constructed Wizard Towers were strategically positioned at the entrance and exit of the Dream Marketplace, making it mandatory for anyone entering or leaving to pass through their range of fire.
They were like nails, firmly pinning down the Dream Marketplace.
The reputation of the Sixth Circle High Tower silently declared that anyone attempting to enter the marketplace would face a formidable challenge.
No one dared to offend the Sixth Circle High Tower, even potentially.
Thus, within a mere month, the once bustling Dream Marketplace became an empty, deserted street.
"Hmph..."
Karl snorted at her words:
"Do they intend to trap me here?"
"But after the ambush by the three major families, I obtained the complete Dream Orb, and the High Tower should know that no one can suppress me here unless they send a Third Circle Wizard."
It was unrealistic to expect them to deploy a Third Circle Wizard to deal with someone of his caliber.
"Don't worry, Master," Evelyn reassured him:
"The resources within the marketplace are sufficient for us to survive for a century, and we can raise livestock and grow vegetables and fruits."
Karl shook his head lightly.
"A century?"
"Let's not talk about that for now. Have you found the person I asked for?"
"For building a Second Circle Wizard Tower, I've only heard of two people, aside from Wizards from the Calim Continent. It's rare to find someone in the Magic Forest capable of constructing a Second Circle Wizard Tower."
"Especially someone nearby..."
"I only found two."
She produced a piece of magical paper, resembling a file with the names and biographical records of two individuals.
"Construction Master Alexander, an elusive Wizard who might be a Second Circle Wizard."
"Gai, the younger brother of the Seibi Family's leader, a genius obsessed with Wizard Towers."
Karl took the paper, nodding in satisfaction.
"Well done!"
Over the past month, he had made significant progress, especially with the restoration of the Dream Orb, which led him to discover certain techniques.
Now, he could not only possess others but also use the Orb to distribute a portion of his power to the possessed individual.
First, let's get the Second Circle Wizard Tower built!
