Chapter 139: Greed

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Manor, meditation room.

Walking into the meditation room, Heath took out beast blood, Magic Stones, and drew a small magic array on the ground. He pressed his palms against the magic array and activated it.

When the magic array was activated, densely packed tadpole-shaped runes spread out in all directions. In an instant, they covered the walls, roof, and floor. The runes and runes connected to each other to form lines that covered the entire room.

Between the lines, an invisible barrier appeared, isolating the room from the outside.

This was a small barrier protection magic array. It could effectively defend against all attacks below the rank of a Wizard. It could block video and audio without being disturbed. It could last for several days.

Advancing to the rank of a Wizard was a very crucial matter. Some necessary preparations were naturally necessary.

After sealing the barrier, Heath came to the center of the room and sat down, officially beginning his advancement towards becoming a Wizard.

But there was a small problem here: an official-level spell.

He already had an official-level spell here, which was a Half-Life Soul. But when he made this choice, Heath was a little hesitant.

This was because the official-level spell that the Apprentice chose to use to advance to become a Wizard would solidify into a Wizard’s innate spell after completing the advancement. There was no need for spells, no need to chant, and in the future, it would be like an instinct to cast it.

Using the Half-Life Soul to solidify it was a waste of the quota for this innate spell.

Then, was there any other choice?

The answer was yes.

After many years of accumulation, Heath’s knowledge was extraordinarily rich. Other Apprentices needed to borrow other people’s spell templates because their knowledge was not good and their own level was not good. But he did not have that. With his current level of knowledge, it was not impossible to mix and construct a complete spell system that belonged to him.

Since he had the ability to create it himself, why did he need to use other people’s systems?

He did as he thought.

After thinking for a while, Heath quickly established the general shape of the spell he was going to construct.

This was the inspiration he got from the Red Phosphorus Flower he picked up at the city gate. At the same time, he combined it with a new spell formed from a manga he liked when he was a student on Blue Star…

After confirming the specific idea, Heath then began to compile the detailed runic structure of this spell in detail.

This process was not too difficult for him. After all, it was just a matter of time. With sufficient knowledge, he could easily pick up anything. It was like making a test paper, and all the contents of the test paper were the answers that he knew.

Soon, he completed the design of the spell model.

Looking at the densely packed runic structure, Heath felt a sense of accomplishment.

Although he always knew that he was very powerful, his actual ability was still far beyond his expectations. An official-level spell worth hundreds of thousands of dollars was actually completed in a minute.

Now, as long as he advanced to a Wizard, he could activate it. At the same time, this spell template would be automatically branded into Heath’s soul and become his innate spell.

‘Haha, if I make a spell and sell it, wouldn’t I make a lot of money?’

Of course, he could only fantasize about this idea in his mind.

Not to mention that it was so easy for him to complete this spell, it was mainly because it was a spell created with his own conditions. It was only suitable for himself and not a universal spell. Even if others bought it, they would not be able to learn it.

Secondly, and most importantly, official-level spells were not easily traded.

The main reason why spells were expensive was to maintain a comprehensive social system that made it expensive and made everyone accept it as expensive.

This was a little awkward and complicated. To give a simple example, the Blue Star computer chip was expensive mainly because it had created a system that only it could produce and maintain.

If this high-end knowledge was taken out and casually traded for popularization, what would all the Wizards think?

In short, the way to earn money by selling spells was not feasible at the moment.

The spell preparation was completed, and the blood fountain had long been fully mastered. The next step was to make a dash for the official Wizard level.

Heath took out the Wizard’s Water.

Looking through the transparent potion bottle, it was dark blue liquid. The flowing liquid was mixed with mottled silver light spots. It was densely packed as if it contained a vast galaxy of stars.

“What should I do after I advance to a Wizard? Should I go back to the Aike Continent?”

Hoping in his heart, Heath raised his head and gulped down this galaxy…

In one gulp!

At the same time, in the palace of Caleru City.

On the ice-cold hall, two braziers were burning. The dancing flames lit up the scene in the hall.

Duke Dylan, The Regent, who was dressed in chain mail, sat on the spacious throne. A few young girls gathered around him. They rubbed his shoulders and massaged his legs.

As he enjoyed the girls’ massages, he looked down at the hall.

In the hall, a bald man was prostrating. He was the slave trader who had sold Heath a group of slaves.

There was an open cloth bag on the ground in front of him. A bag of gold coins was scattered from it. Under the flickering light of the fire, the gold coins sparkled. It was particularly eye-catching.

Duke Dylan asked with interest, “500 gold coins, and he just gave it to you like that?”

The bald man answered in full detail, “Yes, Your Highness, from the beginning to the end, he didn’t even make a single offer.”

The nobles on both sides of the hall began to whisper among themselves.

“Where did this golden deer come from? Even the Drotts who grew up on the Golden Mountain wouldn’t be so generous.”

“500 gold coins to buy 30 female slaves? Did he steal from a Wizard’s gold pocket?”

Duke Dylan’s gaze fell to the side of the bald man.

There were also a few people kneeling on the ground. They were the guards that Heath had beaten when he entered the city, the two coachmen who drove Heath to the manor, and so on.

Duke Dylan asked, “You said that he defeated you all with his bare hands?”

“Yes… Yes, Your Highness. That was a Knight. We couldn’t stop him at all…”

“He was like a bear with infinite strength. We went up and tried to hug him, but he just swung his arm and sent us flying.”

“He was too powerful. I swear, that was the most powerful Knight I’ve ever seen…”

In order to shirk responsibility, the soldiers exaggerated the events in front of the city gate. In their description, Heath had undoubtedly become a terrifying existence who could fly and burrow into the earth.

As soon as the soldier finished speaking, a Knight hurriedly stood up.

The Knight volunteered, “Your Highness, I’ll chop off that kid’s head and bring it to you.”

This made another Knight unwilling to show weakness. “I don’t believe that anyone can block my sword!”

“I want to see such an expert too.”

“Let me go…”

The Knights knew very well what kind of people the city guards were. It was possible that the kid who broke into the city gate had some ability, but if he was really as described by the city guards, there was no Knight present who could be trusted.

Duke Dylan raised a hand. “Alright!”

Recently, his Knights had become more and more dishonest. It was better for him to dig out such a treasure trove that could easily take out 500 gold coins.

He opened the pocket of his coat and patted the cross sword hanging on his waist.

“My loyal Knights, let’s go and see who this is.”

On the other side, at the slave market in Caleru City.

Beside the jumping bonfire, several slave markets gathered together and discussed the most explosive topic of the day.

“I was next door and saw it with my own eyes. It was real gold…”

“That kid didn’t care at all. It was as if it wasn’t 500 gold coins, but only 500 stones…”

“I’ve never seen so much money…”

Some slave traders were still talking about this strange matter from before, but the slave traders who were quick-witted had already started to have evil thoughts.

The two slave traders rolled their eyes and quietly left the banquet.

The two of them met at the stables.

One of the slave traders said, “I know a group of wandering Knights from Lalor City. As long as they can afford money and women, they would dare to do even the task of killing their way into the palace!”

The slave trader chuckled. “What a coincidence. There are women everywhere. As for gold coins, they will have them!”

At the same time, in the refugee camp.

“Hey, hey, hey, did you hear? A golden goose that can lay eggs came to the city and bought 30 slaves with 500 gold coins. Oh my god!”

“How can there be someone in this world who has so much money!”

At this moment, a refugee suddenly said, “I heard that he’s only one person…”

Another refugee said, “You mean…”

The refugee gritted his teeth and showed a fierce expression. “If we stay here, we will starve to death sooner or later. It’s not fair for him to have so many gold coins alone. We should give them to everyone and let us buy food for the merchants!”

“That’s right, we need gold coins!”

“We need to buy food!”

Similar scenes quickly spread throughout the city. The palace, the marketplace, the slave market, and the refugee camp.

500 gold coins were nothing to Heath, but to ordinary humans, it was a huge amount of wealth that even the king would be moved by.

When Heath used 500 gold coins to buy the group of female slaves, it was destined that this would definitely cause a huge uproar in this rotten city.

This was the development of the matter.

‘A golden goose that can lay eggs came to the city and spent 500 gold coins to buy 30 women without even batting an eye!’

This explosive news instantly shocked the entire city.

In an instant, the entire city was revived because of this piece of news. Everyone from the Duke, Knights, slave traders, refugees, and even the wandering Knights in the city, as well as the bandits wandering outside the city, all began to come to life.

Everyone rushed out of their nests and rushed to the manor outside the city at the fastest speed.

Those who were capable would fight for the gold coins, but those who were not could only imagine that they would be lucky enough to get a bargain.

For the gold coins, for the golden goose.

Everyone rushed to the manor outside the city.

They fought to be the first….
