Chapter 33: A Mage Who Doesn't Want to Be a Knight Isn't a Good Doctor

Carol was the youngest son of the Jadeson family, one of the four major families that rivaled the Harriman family. The Jadeson family controlled most of the lucrative business of addictive magic drugs in the Abyss.

This business was extremely profitable, capable of leaving a person with nothing but bones to eat.

Moreover, it was said that the Jadeson family's business extended beyond the Abyss. The nearby cities of Kalwa and several other large and medium-sized cities were also deeply affected by the Jadeson family's drug poison.

The Jadeson family had been entrenched in the Abyss for hundreds of years and was undoubtedly a powerful local power.

Charlotte was also unclear how Capas had contacted Carol, but being targeted by such a local power was not good news.

Charlotte put away the black stone and opened the system interface.

[System Store: Opened, click to enter]

At first glance, Charlotte saw that the icon for the [System Store] in the bottom left corner was in the open state.

Just now, he saved Capas' lackey and received thirteen silver coins, finally accumulating enough wealth points to reach ten thousand.

Taking a deep breath, Charlotte clicked on the system store with the anticipation of opening a blind box.

There were no fancy interfaces, no dazzling special effects, just a solitary square grid with a drawing of a white potion inside. Below it was a note: Strength Potion, Price: 10,000 Wealth Points.

"Hmm?" Charlotte stared at the Strength Potion for a while, feeling that something was not quite right.

He was a doctor, in a doctor training system, and he opened a bottle of milk-like Strength Potion.

Even though he used to be a mage, even if it was a potion, it should be a magic potion, right?

With a mindset of experimentation, Charlotte consciously clicked on the icon.

A line of notes jumped out: Strength Potion - After consumption, it can permanently increase the strength attribute by 100 kg.

Permanently increase strength!

This attribute instantly caught Charlotte's attention.

Items that can permanently increase attributes are all high-quality goods!

This made Charlotte's mind suddenly become active.

His magic origin had already been destroyed, which was a consensus in the mage world, and it couldn't be restored.

He was already twenty-five years old, and it wasn't realistic to change professions and become a knight at this age.

He had missed the best growth period for knights, from the age of ten to eighteen, which was a period of rapid strength improvement and the most crucial foundation-laying period for the knight profession.

The lingering sour stench in the air left her puzzled.

Charlotte took a cold shower to wash away the dirt from his body.

After taking off his clothes, his thin and bony body visibly became slightly stronger. Although he didn't develop abs or chest muscles, he had gained some muscle mass.

The increase in strength was even more evident. Previously, Charlotte could barely lift a bag of dry goods without feeling exhausted and out of breath.

However, just now, he tried lifting the large tub filled with water in the bathroom, which weighed over 200 kilograms, and he managed to lift it.

In the knight system, the minimum requirement for a knight apprentice was to have a lifting strength of 500 kilograms.

According to this standard, he only needed to drink four more bottles of the Strength Potion to become a "knight apprentice."

A mage who doesn't want to become a knight isn't a good doctor.

Clenching his fists, the sensation of strength filled Charlotte's being, bringing an unprecedented sense of calm to his heart.

With the ability to continuously increase his strength, Charlotte had a foundation to establish himself in this world.

No matter how good his medical skills were, without actual strength to back them up, he would only end up as a canary in someone else's cage.

But when he possessed enough power, the choice would return to his hands.

He didn't want to be held at knifepoint one day and forced to perform surgery.

Drying off the water droplets and changing into his clothes, Charlotte calmed his emotions before coming out of the bathroom.

Although his strength had increased, he shouldn't have become too arrogant. He was still not even an apprentice and would surely be overpowered if he encountered bad individuals outside.

Vivian was still waiting outside his room. When she saw Charlotte emerge from the bathroom, she quickly said, "Boss, I'll get the booklet."

"It's in my room. Come in and get it," Charlotte nodded slightly and pushed open the door, entering the room.

Vivian watched Charlotte's figure and felt that he seemed somewhat different, but she couldn't pinpoint what had changed.

"We must finish copying it tonight, all right?" Charlotte handed the booklet to Vivian.

"Yes, no problem," Vivian nodded confidently, took the booklet, and hurried downstairs.

"If I had known I could change professions, I should have asked the Judicator to leave me a martial skill. Now he's completely gone, not even ashes remain. I've truly lost everything," Charlotte sat on the edge of the bed, feeling somewhat regretful as he ran his hand through his hair.

A top-notch knight who could single-handedly challenge a monster's lair would undoubtedly have practiced top-level martial skills, right?

Charlotte now possessed strength, but he lacked any combat techniques. He couldn't rely on military-style boxing to defeat his opponents, could he?

Suddenly, Charlotte remembered someone. With a mindset of trying to save a dying horse, he sent a private message to the Hermit: [Senior, did the Judicator leave me any martial skills? I want to become a knight.]
