This was a messy and ugly underground plaza.
A fierce-looking sorcerer was lashing out with a whip, yelling loudly as he chased away a group of gigantic slaves from another world.
A group of creatures that were seven to eight meters tall, with bodies that looked like gray praying mantises, with many soft feathers on their chests, were strung together by a thick black chain. They walked forward in rows of dozens, their eyes looking at the many human sorcerers in the sky, their eyes filled with hatred, anger, and fear.
However, they had lost any ability to resist, including … courage.
Grimm flew over the heads of these creatures, looking at everything coldly, without the slightest hint of emotion. The sound of the whip of the slave master and the sound of the chains as the slaves walked became the main melody of this small area.
Roar!
A thirty-meter-long conjoined griffin creature yawned in the metal cage, and then lay on the ground like a kitten. Its eyes were dull and lifeless, as if it had lost all will to resist.
This creature had the strength of a Level 2 sorcerer at the very least!
Grimm looked at the price of this slave from another world, sighed, shook his head, and continued flying forward.
Pa, pa, pa …
More than a hundred subhumans from another world with outstanding figures stood on a towering round stage, performing a song and dance called "The King of the Great Sorcerers". This was a song and dance written by a sorcerer artist, in general, it sang the praises of the sorcerer civilization's advancement, brilliance, glory, and power. It was very popular among many sorcerers, and was often used as a side activity in the frequent social balls of many bright sorcerers.
However, at this moment, it was ironic that this group of slaves from another world who had been conquered by sorcerers were singing the praises of sorcerers. This novel and ironic feeling of otherworldliness attracted the attention of many sorcerers.
Grimm also watched for a while in mid-air, until the slave auction after the performance ended. These performing slaves took off their clothes to cover their embarrassment, standing naked in the middle of the stage, trembling as they looked at the sorcerers who were still lingering around them, under the promotion of a sorcerer slave master.
Many wizards were quite interested in these specially trained slaves from the other world.
Grimm didn't pay any more attention to the slave auction. These slaves weren't what Grimm needed. Grimm also didn't have the mood to waste time on this boring activity. He directly flew to a slave market in the distance that looked like a giant ferris wheel.
Hmm?
However, halfway there, Grimm was suddenly attracted by a few small creatures in a cage held by a slave trader on the ground.
It had a pair of translucent green wings, a bee-like body with three pairs of arms and legs, a human head with an oddly long nose, and a small flower bud growing on its head. The little creature was only the size of a palm, and its eyes were filled with despair as it shivered and looked at everything outside the cage.
"Jie jie, this is the Rain Dew Flower Spirit. It costs 30,000 Magic Stones each. It can be used to clean a room. The fragrance they emit has the effect of concentrating one's mind. Of course, these fragrances could not be compared to the Love Vial. But … actually, if you get used to the taste of these little guys, the taste is actually not bad. "A sorcerer under a black robe smiled coldly as he introduced the creature.
Grimm looked at the Dark Sorcerer's skin that was full of small black holes. It was like the eyes of an old tree's bark, densely packed with holes.
Rain Dew Flower Spirit?
As for eating these little guys, Grimm didn't have such an idea.
However, Grimm was thinking that it was not important for him to need servants to clean his room. In the future, when the Gold Breedsnot in the World Fragment became a Mother Tree, it would also need some accompanying creatures. These Rain Dew Flower Spirits would be a good choice.
With this thought in mind, Grimm said, "I need two of these little creatures to clean my room. Give me one of each gender."
As he spoke, Grimm reached into the void with one hand and took out a few high-grade Magic Stones from the Dimensional Gap. It felt like he was holding a few high-grade Magic Stones in his hand out of thin air.
"Hehe, you are a newly promoted Demon-Hunter Sorcerer, right?" The sorcerer said after listening to Grimm's request. His dark red eyes had a hint of mockery.
Grimm knew that he might have made a common sense mistake, so he asked calmly, "What's wrong?"
The sorcerer shook his head and lowered his head to laugh for a moment.
"Basically, every Demon-Hunter Sorcerer who goes on expeditions knows that in some foreign worlds where natural energy and active earth energy rules are abundant, the Grass Elves have no gender distinction at all. Perhaps some of the Grass Elves have been influenced by other civilizations and have a sense of gender. But in terms of physiology, the Grass Elves can be treated as cell division organisms or hermaphrodites. "The Dark Sorcerer stared at Grimm with mockery in his eyes.
Grimm didn't mind the other's mockery. This kind of common sense mistake was indeed a little ridiculous.
Grimm had always thought that only those elemental lifeforms had no gender distinction. It turned out that the Grass Elves that were born under the laws of the world did not have gender distinction either.
Then, the Underground Abyss Wyvern of the Sorcerer World, as a killing monster that was born from a distant, powerful, unknown Abyss Civilization that changed the laws of the world, did not have gender distinction either?
In an instant, Grimm thought of many things. He didn't feel ashamed of his ignorance. He nodded to the Dark Sorcerer in front of him and said, "Oh? How about this … Thank you for your explanation. Then, just give me two Rain-dew Flower Spirits at will. "
The Dark Sorcerer was slightly surprised to hear Grimm's answer. He also put away his mocking smile and carefully picked out his goods from the cage.
"You're quite straightforward."
After saying this, the Dark Sorcerer took out two Rain-dew Flower Spirits from the cage. He didn't care about the two little creatures' cries and struggles. He directly threw them into another cage and passed it to Grimm. He then added, "This Sealing Basket is a gift."
Grimm took the cage and looked at the palm-sized creatures in the cage. He nodded and passed the magic stones to the Dark Sorcerer. The transaction was completed.
The Dark Sorcerer took the magic stones and no longer cared about Grimm. He looked at the other Sorcerers that were interested in the Rain-dew Flower Spirits.
Grimm lifted the cage and soared into the sky, heading straight for the towering Ferris wheel a thousand meters away.
It was a huge Ferris Wheel with a diameter of more than three hundred meters. The creatures in the Ferris Wheel were all bound demi-humans and humanoid slaves from another world. The Ferris Wheel cages were marked with the abilities, advantages, and prices of the creatures inside. If a Wizard was interested, he could directly write down the number of the Ferris Wheel and go to the selling place to trade.
Grimm floated in the sky. Like the other Wizards, he calmly looked at the "goods" in the cages. Finally, his eyes stopped on a green-skinned humanoid creature.
This creature was a Soul Slave race that Norris had once summoned. This race was born with some talent in food and taste, and their taste was very similar to that of human Wizards.
Grimm looked at the sign outside the cage on the Ferris Wheel.
"Gnawing species. Extremely talented in food and taste. Although they don't have the professional knowledge of the Wizard World's Gourmet, they can be regarded as cooking experts. Price: 3 sorcerer essence. Note that gnawing species have an average lifespan of 150 to 170 years. Using honey essence salt can greatly reduce the speed of gnawing species' aging. "
Hmm?
He wanted to trade with sorcerer essence?
Honey essence salt was sold for one high-grade magic stone for 100 grams. To greatly reduce the speed of gnawing species' aging, he needed 10 grams of honey essence salt every month.
Grimm thought about it and decided to give up on the idea of buying honey essence salt.
After all, in Grimm's plan, he was only going to be a delicious captive for the next 200 years in order to improve his survival ability in the foreign world. He did not plan to train a specialized gourmet soul slave of the gnawing species. Since he did not plan to train a gnawing species' gourmet, Grimm's annual consumption of honey essence salt was somewhat extravagant.
With this thought in mind, Grimm made up his mind and flew to the trading place to discuss the details of the transaction.
Grimm told the slave master where he lived in the Demon-Hunter Castle. After signing the contract, Grimm took out the remains of his World Core from the Dimensional Gap. With a wave of magic, this jelly-like chunk of sorcerer essence separated into three small balls and flew to the slave master.
Grimm received a badge from the slave master that was printed with a complex rubber tree pattern. He then turned around and left.
After another hourglass of time in this huge slave market, Grimm went to another underground space in the Holy Tower of Seven Rings called the Space-Time Square.
This was a quiet and spacious underground space.
On the huge square paved with white stones, towering altars gathered astonishing energy waves. From time to time, some Sorcerers excitedly stepped on the Space-Time Gate Altar. As the guardian at the side activated the altar to store energy, the Sorcerer standing on the altar would be wrapped in an astonishing energy light beam. After a short period of a few minutes, or a long period of a few hourglasses, the Sorcerer would disappear from the Space-Time Gate Altar.
These Space-Time Gate Altars led to the foreign worlds that had been conquered by the Sorcerer World.
Grimm looked at the price of these Space-Time Gates. The lowest price for one teleportation was 30 Sorcerer Essences. Some of the rare Space-Time Gates actually cost thousands or tens of thousands of Sorcerer Essences. It was so high that it was unbelievable.
Of course, the Space-Time Gate also marked some of the special resources, biological characteristics, and basic world laws that were most different from the Sorcerer World.
At the edge of the square, a few Space-Time Gate Altars were under construction. One of the altars was in the final stage of construction, while the other altars were just half built.
Generally speaking, every Stigmata Sorcerer would have a foreign world that was completely conquered by them. All the resources and biological slaves of this world were the private property of the Stigmata Sorcerer, and were rarely opened to the outside world.
However, if the Stigmata Sorcerer conquered more foreign worlds, or if a few Stigmata Sorcerers formed an alliance to conquer a foreign world, and there was no more development capacity, then they would buy a Space-Time Gate in each of the Holy Towers of the Sorcerer World, and then use those Demon-Hunter Sorcerers and Arcane Sorcerers to teleport to get income.
In general, this was also one of the Stigmata Sorcerers' contributions to the development of the Sorcerer Civilization.
After walking around the Space-Time Square, he walked around the Seven Rings Armed Square and the Sorcerer World's internal teleportation square. Then, with all kinds of complicated feelings, Grimm returned to the food street, and spent some Sorcerer Essences to buy the ingredients that he liked but was reluctant to spend Sorcerer Essences.
The many underground spaces under the roots of the Tree of Life were like a huge ant's nest, and the squares were closely connected to each other.
On the way back to the Demon-Hunter Castle, Grimm pondered.
Highly invasive civilized worlds nurtured their own biological communities and ceaselessly absorbed the resources of surrounding worlds. If that was the case, were civilized worlds not 'delicious captives' that kept absorbing even higher energy essences for the major worlds and minor worlds?
These worlds themselves were also "passively evolving", gradually moving towards a stronger, more mature carrier of the law, carrying and breeding more "cells" inside to conquer other worlds, to enhance their own opportunities to plunder and eat?
To the world, the biological groups were the relationship between cells and complete living beings?
In the sky, Grimm turned into a small black dot and left the intertwining roots of the Tree of Life hill.
