CLANG...

With a gentle sway, a melodious sound followed.

A surge of life force rushed into his body, invigorating Karl, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

With this, the duration of the Secret Skill Giantification should be extended significantly. This must be a Demonized Item, albeit different from the alchemy skills I've encountered before.

I wonder if it's of any use to Legendary Knights; if so, it's an Advanced Magic Item.

Actually, the secret of the Whale Bell lay in the clapper at its center.

The clapper, the size of a peanut, was the inner core of some Legendary Creature, removed and placed here by someone.

It could automatically absorb the free energy in the air, transform it into life force, and then store it.

The mysterious patterns on the bell maintained the clapper's vitality and transmitted energy to the user.

Inner core?

It does resemble one!

Karl stroked his chin, deep in thought.

Whether it's the Armor of Guna or this Whale Bell, both are Demonized Items of high Tier.

This world...

Did it have a Wizard's legacy?

Perhaps they were not Wizards, but to be able to create such marvelous items, the refinement technology must have been very advanced. But now, for some unknown reason, that technology has been lost.

KNOCK KNOCK!

The sound of knocking echoed.

"Come in!" Karl said, casually putting away the Whale Bell.

"Mr. Karl," Emma said, her face glowing and her voice hearty.

Behind her was Lula, dressed in fine clothes, her cheeks a bit flushed from drinking quite a bit. The two women had momentarily left the other Chamber of Commerce members to come here.

"This is what I promised you."

"Oh!" Karl stood up upon hearing this, ripples stirring in his heart. "Thank you for your trouble."

"Please check them." Lula placed a wooden box down, a hint of embarrassment on her face as she added in a low voice, "The quantity is a bit less."

Hmm? Karl opened the wooden box. Six Great Divine Graces came into view, but his expression lacked joy.

Didn't we agree there would be over a dozen?

Why were there only six!

He had waited a long time and put in so much effort just to obtain the Great Divine Graces stored by the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce.

Now, it had shrunk by almost half!

How could he bear this?

"This..." Emma said with a wry smile. "There should indeed have been over a dozen, but recently Jasper's ship strongroom was robbed."

"Several Great Divine Graces that were stored inside have disappeared."

"So..."

"We only have these for now."

AH!

Karl's wrist flicked.

The ship's strongroom?

That seemed to be the place where he had acquired the Great Divine Graces, meaning he had taken what was originally his.

This situation...

SIGH!

Karl sighed helplessly.

"Mr. Karl," Lula said hurriedly, seeing his disheartened expression. "Monroe should still have a few more. Don't be anxious. Once we deal with Monroe, I'll find those for you."

"The Great Divine Graces of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce..."

"All yours!"

By now, Karl's importance to the Chamber of Commerce was indispensable; any cost was worth it.

Not to mention his ability to slay Jasper, just the Potion formula Karl held allowed for the mass production of Great Knights to a certain extent.

Holding such an ace, he possessed the power to overturn the current situation in Freedom Port.

Under no circumstances could they afford to lose him!

"Alright." Karl sighed and put away the Great Divine Graces. "I hope it won't be disappointing."

"It definitely won't disappoint you," Emma replied decisively. "Even if Monroe doesn't have them, the Poseidon Association or the Scythe Brotherhood surely do. I'll find a way to make them hand them over."

Karl's eyebrows twitched slightly. "Then I must thank Madam."

If he could get his hands on the Great Divine Graces from the other two factions, his Cultivation could increase rapidly.

"HAHA..." Emma said, waving her hand. "We're all on the same side here, no need to be so formal. Karl... you don't seem to have a wife yet?"

"This..." Karl paused for a moment. "Correct."

"Do you have someone in mind?" Emma asked with great enthusiasm. "Would you like me to introduce you to someone?"

"Mother!" Lula's expression was a bit odd. "Shouldn't you leave these matters to him?"

Before coming, Emma had expressed her intention to keep Karl at all costs, which included forming an alliance through marriage. Currently, there weren't many women in the Chamber of Commerce who could be considered a match for a Great Knight, and Lula was clearly one of them. Although the two didn't share any affection, Emma didn't mind finding such a husband for her daughter.

"No need," Karl said, his expression solemn. "I have dedicated my life to the Knight Path. I hope to become Legendary one day."

"UH..." Emma's expression turned peculiar. "Karl, you may not be aware, but advancement to Legendary is only possible with a Divine Blessing or the Bloodline of a Duke."

"There are no exceptions."

There was such a saying?

Karl was stunned.

On reflection. It seemed the Main World was the same. Only the Church, royal families, and top nobility could produce Legendary individuals.

No! Thunder Spear Tucker was not such a case.

"Madam," Karl said, his eyes downcast. "There are always exceptions. I'd still like to give it a try."

"Alright then!" Emma said, shrugging. "I respect your decision."

「...」

After closing the door, Emma strode forward and said at the same time, "Next, besides dealing with Monroe, you need to pay more attention to Karl. It would be best if you could develop some feelings for him."

"When the time is right, I'll arrange your wedding."

"Mother," Lula said, frowning. "Mr. Karl has already said he doesn't intend to marry."

"HEH..." Emma sneered. "He will eventually despair over advancing to Legendary, just like your father did."

"The Divine of this world are dead. They won't bless him, and since he lacks the Bloodline of a Duke, becoming a peak Great Knight is his fate."
