Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 390 - 152 Individual Preparations_2

He had many items in his possession that weren’t suitable for public viewing, and he would definitely have to covertly handle their exchange.

Moving forward, he would reach the once residential area of Mulan Market.

Low wooden houses were rebuilt on the ruins, and some people could be seen scavenging through the rubble.

Clothes, bowls, and weapons—the necessities—were collected.

Useless things, like corpses, were discarded aside.

The stench of rotting bones piled up by the roadside attracted many scavenging insects, and a foul smell permeated the air.

The locals had grown accustomed to this scene; some even secretly stashed away fresh flesh.

Eating human flesh!

People would indulge when they had no other choice.

As he walked, Carl’s expression remained unchanged. He had seen too many gruesome scenes, and his emotions were as calm as ever.

After crossing the residential area, the muddy ground gave way to stone slabs, and the houses on either side gradually became newer and taller.

This was the newly built trade district.

Temporary shops opened by the High Tower family and other major families were here, but Carl’s goal was still ahead.

「Under the night sky.」 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Many street vendors appeared on both sides of the road, selling a strange assortment of goods, each different from the other.

There were those selling rice, fish, and other foods; those selling knives, spears, and other weapons; and others selling various Magic Materials and Demonized Items.

Aside from the stands, there were also several tents scattered around. Carl directly lifted the curtain and entered one of them.

The tent didn’t look big from the outside; it could be crowded with three people sitting cross-legged. But once inside, the space suddenly expanded to about ten square meters.

Spatial witchcraft!

This kind of witchcraft could only be mastered by entities above the Second Order, but some special devices also had similar abilities, like the pendant Carl wore.

"Welcome!" Inside the spacious tent, a female Wizard holding a Crystal Ball sat in the middle. She greeted with a smile, "What would you like to buy? Or... sell?"

"Trade!" Carl spoke succinctly. He pulled out the Magic Wand and Wizard Robe he got from Marian and placed them in front. "Trade for a protective Inheritance Witchcraft."

His spiritual power was progressing slowly, and the third witchcraft, Thunder Wings, was still not completed. Moreover, as his path was not plant or life-based, these two items were not very effective in his hands.

The key issue was they couldn’t be seen in public. Better to trade them for something usable.

"Life Robe, a set of Magic Wands." The female Wizard touched the items in front and smiled. "This style of robe must come from a woman, right? Of course, I don’t ask about the origins here."

"Protective Inheritance Witchcraft... I have two items." She flipped her hand, and two items appeared before her: an amulet and a bracelet.

"A First Order lower Tier Inheritance Witchcraft—Energy Talisman. It can release an energy field that significantly weakens physical and witchcraft attacks, but it’s not very effective against shadow or nightmare-type witchcraft."

"A First Order upper Tier Inheritance Witchcraft—Hexagonal Bracelet. It can release a hexagonal crystalline Defensive Magic capable of withstanding First Rank Late Stage witchcraft. However, this piece is defective and might become scrap after only a few uses. But it is still a First Order upper Tier Inheritance Witchcraft; you would need to add one thousand Magic Stones to trade for this piece."

As expected! The items were still in her hands.

Carl was tempted, but his voice carried a hint of displeasure. "Both of these Inheritance Witchcrafts are significantly damaged, especially the Hexagonal Bracelet. Forget several uses, I’m afraid it will fall apart after just one!"

"My dear customer," the female Wizard smiled and shook her head. "Even damaged, they are still Inheritance Witchcrafts. What you’ve brought, although excellent, are just Advanced Magic Items."

"Advanced Magic Items just represent a Tier, not their real value." Carl shook his head. "These two items from me are a set of Demonized Items, made of superior materials, just not very well crafted. In terms of value, they are not inferior to a First Order lower Tier Inheritance Witchcraft."

"That’s just what you think." The female Wizard wasn’t upset; she shook her head. "The same Potion, even with identical effects, coming from an Alchemist’s hands is pricier than those from a regular stall—such is the influence of reputation.

"And the difference between Demonized Items and Inheritance Witchcrafts, when people hear about it, they know which is more valuable.

"Moreover..." She leaned forward, smiling as she said, "Handling these unidentified items from you also involves certain risks."

"..." Carl pursed his lips. "The Energy Talisman, plus one hundred Magic Stones. That’s my final offer. If that works, we have a deal!"

? The female Wizard’s eyes moved, her gaze shifting from Carl to the Life Robe and Magic Wand before her. She understood well how tempting this set of Demonized Items was to a life-based Wizard; to trade them for a damaged Inheritance Witchcraft... It was profitable!

After thinking it over, she slowly nodded. "Deal."

"Good." Carl sighed in relief, and a smile appeared on his face. "Do you have any Wishing Mud?"

"That Second Order material? You’ll probably have to wait for the auction in half a month to get it," the female Wizard said, shaking her head.

Once the trade was completed and Carl had left, the female Wizard was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke up, "What do you think?"

"There’s something off about this guy." A cold voice emerged from the corner. "He’s dressed like a Knight, but all the items he traded are only usable by Wizards. There must be an Official Wizard behind him."

"Oh!" The female Wizard raised her eyebrows. "Why didn’t you suspect that he himself is a Wizard, just disguised as a Knight to deceive us?"
