Karut Lake, Pearl Fishing Village.

The early morning mist lingers like a veil on the lake, adding a touch of haziness to this quiet and peaceful fishing village.

"puff"

"Huh~huh~ I finally caught it. With this golden pearl, Elaine and I can live in the plain world..."

Al emerged from the cold lake. Although his thin black body was slightly white from the cold, when he lowered his head and looked at the fist-sized golden pearl in his hand, his bright black eyes shone with happiness.

Come.

He and his sister Elaine fled here two and a half years ago. The first few years were fine, but as Elaine's future became more and more beautiful, more and more people in the village started to pay attention to his sister.

But if he wants to escape from here and live the life of his dreams, he will need a lot of money, and this golden pearl is the goal of his efforts this year.

After taking a breath, Al immediately used his weak magic power to turn into webs, stepped on the water vigorously, and swam quickly towards the fishing village in the fog.

"boom"

"Fire Magic - Fire Tornado"

The tornado of scorching flames fell from the sky, burning dozens of houses in Pearl Fishing Village in the blink of an eye.

The ferocious flames broke through the fog and blew away more than a dozen fishermen who stood up to resist.

"Elaine, no~"

As the flames steamed, waves of scorching fire struck, and the waves of water caused Al to stop.

He raised his head in confusion, looking at the doomsday scene in front of him, where everyone in the village was being restrained and arrested by dozens of ropes, and among them was his sister who depended on each other for life.

Al roared angrily and instantly dropped the clam in his hand. As his magic power surged, he rushed towards the fishing village on the waves. He could never let Elaine be captured, and he could never lose her.

"Fu"

The next moment, the wind and clouds surged, and the gray-brown fog came from nowhere and drowned the entire fishing village in an instant with majestic force.

In the foggy world, it seemed that Al was the only one left. He was helplessly walking on the waves, but he was still unable to break through the fog, and he couldn't even identify the direction.

But just when Al was anxious and panicking, he heard a "boo" sound, and a group of figures rushed out of the fog, hit him impartially, and instantly took him to the bottom of the lake.

With the warm fragrance and soft jade filling his arms, Al subconsciously grabbed the person in his arms. In the cold lake water, he relied on his excellent swimming skills to quickly tread the water and adjust his body shape.

"call!"

When Al resurfaced, he found that the majestic gray-brown mist had dissipated without a trace. He had arrived in the middle of the lake at some point, and Elaine, whom he missed so much, was being held in his arms.

Everything that happened just now was like a dream, so unreal.

But when he looked at the fishing village in the distance, the fire soaring into the sky and the blazing flames told him that this was not a dream.

Under the rippling water, Al looked at the unconscious Elaine in his arms, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a strange black shadow rushing into the firelight of the fishing village.

He subconsciously wanted to see clearly, but just this hazy glance when he raised his head made Al's heart surge with fear, and his whole body was trembling. He immediately turned around and swam quickly towards the distance.

In the fishing village, Black Hooves walked in the bursts of firelight. He glanced at the ripples on the sparkling lake, but stopped again.

He was clearly here just now and felt the aura of his boss, but for some reason it was gone in the blink of an eye.

After searching to no avail, Black Hooves looked at the dead humans and livestock in the village and immediately began to feast.

Although the human beings in this world are physically weak and far less nutritious than the contractors, everyone here has different attributes of magic power, which is a good change.

....

Chery City, in front of the city gate.

On the desolate grassland, magicians from the Diamond Kingdom fell from high altitudes from time to time. After tying the captured prisoners with ropes, they began to line up like goods and livestock.

Yes, in the eyes of these Diamond Kingdom magicians, the prisoners of the Clover Kingdom cannot be regarded as human beings, but as valuable trophies or lowly slaves.

There were even magicians, each talking about the prisoner's skin color, magical properties, and even appearance, jokingly and chatting with each other.

"Hey, White, you got a good harvest. These are jade corals and golden pearls, and these dozen captives. You... these are enough to exchange for a concentrated magic energy strengthening potion!"

"Hahaha, I was lucky enough to find a fishing village in Kalut Lake. I'm not like Johnny. I just want Master Suonan to treat my brother's legs in the kingdom, and that will be fine!"

"That's right. Your brother Pierce is under the command of Lord Mars, the Eight-Glory General. If you can stand up, your family will indeed be much better off."

"Well, yes, if my brother is still here..."

"By the way, have you two heard that Lord Maurice of the Royal Capital has developed a safe method for implanting magic crystals. With magic crystals, you can use two spells with different attributes, and you can use them even without a magic book.

Okay, but I don’t know how much military merit is needed to redeem it..."

"Riel, I advise you, don't think about it. Look at the prisoners you brought back. They are either missing arms or legs, or they are children with low magic power. They don't even have women. You can't even complete the basic indicators.

It’s not enough…”

"But speaking of women, White, why don't you change this little girl? I'll give you 3 copies of earth elemental magic crystals. How about that?!"

Wang Changle stood at the end of the team, looking coldly at the conversation of several people while his feet kept moving towards the city gate.

But he saw the middle-aged magician with a fat head and big ears, suddenly turning his head and pointing at him who had gone through the 'simulation' and transformed into Elaine.

In an instant, many magicians who were chatting at the scene immediately focused their attention on him.

After all, three portions of earth elemental magic crystals were enough to exchange for a dozen prisoners. But when everyone saw his calm and cold appearance, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Wang Changle sighed silently in his heart. He knew that this was a side effect of his 82 points of true charm.

Even if the effect of 'information tampering with cognition' exists, he has no hidden plans. With his high charm, he will still attract the attention of others, which is impossible to do.

"Bah, Nite, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. You want to please Lord Lacasse, right... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, such a pretty girl, I will give you five water element magic crystals!"

"I, I will give you six wind element magic crystals, plus three prime-age laborers, how about it?!"
