Alastair, Isabelle, and Grimm were taking a stroll around a farm that reared agate snails.
"Eh? Grimm, is this your soul partner? It's an ancient Steel Emblem Myna. What a beautiful little fella. "
Isabelle smiled.
After some thought, the space in Isabelle's bracelet fluctuated, and she took out a Magic Stone. She widened her eyes and smiled at Little Myna.
It was a precious spatial magic device. Grimm's eyes twitched when he saw this.
It was the scene of Little Eight feeding magic stones again.
"Although I am happy that you can recognize my noble identity as a Steel Emblem Myna, the little fella behind you is making me very angry! Also, take the stone off your hand, I'm not eating it! "
The myna stood on Grimm's shoulder and shouted angrily.
"Fine, fine, fine, get rid of the little fella."
Isabelle seemed to be in a good mood. She liked the beautiful myna very much. She suddenly asked, "Have you eaten the agate snails here before?"
"Caw?"
Myna looked at the giant snails that were about half a meter long eating grass in the enclosure and asked, "Are they rearing them for food? Is it … delicious? "
"Of course!"
Isabelle smiled and asked, "Do you want to try?"
Gulp.
The myna swallowed its saliva and looked at the crystal clear snail meat under the agate shell. It imagined itself tasting the delicious snail meat and could not help but swallow its saliva.
"Alright, seeing that you're so sincere in inviting Master Ba, I'll accept your apology."
Little Eight flew from Grimm's shoulder to Isabelle's hand. Isabelle smiled and ordered the knight who was in charge of rearing the agate snails, "Open the fence."
"Yes!"
The knight who was carrying the fodder not far away obviously knew Isabelle's noble identity. He dropped the fodder and immediately ran over to open the fence.
Isabelle smiled at Little Eight and said, "Take a look, which one suits your taste?"
…
The other side.
Grimm and Alastair walked side by side as if they were taking a stroll. However, after hundreds of years, the two of them who were both official sorcerers had gone in different directions.
She was dressed in a luxurious outfit adorned with exquisite gemstones. On her head was a golden crown. She looked dignified and calm. Her skin was smooth and fair as if every inch of it had been meticulously groomed. Grimm saw two words in her eyes: power and rules.
Using resources to issue high-ranked missions and invite higher-ranked Magi to complete the mission according to their own will, this was also a way for low-ranked Magi to pry open the higher laws!
Apparently, Alastair's gemstone attire was not just for decoration.
Grimm who was standing aside was slightly surprised by the unconcealed magic wave. Compared to Alastair who was holding the Sabbatic Goat Staff, wearing the Amitabha Wizard Hat and the Mask of Truth, the magic wave of Alastair's magic device was much stronger!
This guy …
On the other hand, Grimm was wearing a loose sorcerer's robe. He was walking step by step with the help of his magic staff. Although his eyes under the Mask of Truth were deeper, more mysterious, and wiser than before, he was still just one of the thousands of sorcerers.
"Hehe, Grimm, you don't know this. Those few guys just slighted a distinguished Demon-Hunter Sorcerer with a Rank-1 Honor Badge because of me. They said that they would punish me according to the family rules."
Alastair said jokingly while twirling the red gemstone ring on his ring finger.
Grimm laughed under the Mask of Truth. He followed Alastair as they walked and looked around.
Now, Grimm's horizons had been broadened. He now knew the true power of a Sorcerer Coin.
"What's this?"
Grimm asked as he pointed at a large bamboo plant that was seven to eight meters tall.
These plants emitted some strange odors. Although it was an indescribable odor to humans, Glenn was proficient in the "Odor Atlas", so he knew that this kind of odor perception was nothing more than an illusion.
"Oh, this is Sulphur Grass. My family is responsible for making them into a type of sleeping gas. It's very popular in the worlds that are ruled by the Thunder Elemental Creatures. We can earn a lot of local precious resources or Sorcerer Coins."
Alastair said as he raised his hand that was hidden in his luxurious sleeves. He waved his hand and covered the Agate Snail Garden and Sulphur Grass Garden.
"These two manors are managed by Bell. They're the most popular products in the foreign worlds. She inherited them from her father."
Alastair pointed at the large manor in front of them and said, "I've traveled to the World Tree a few hundred years ago. I've developed a new product after I came back. The effect is pretty good. My family is planning to expand the product on my side."
The so-called World Tree, also known as the World of Trees, was a very famous world in the Wizard Alliance.
The entire world was supported by a giant tree, and all the creatures in the world lived with this giant tree as the center.
Grimm could not help but wonder if the World Tree was a mutated World Core.
After all, there were all kinds of strange things in the Endless World.
In general, the life force of the World Tree had reached an unimaginable level. That was why it was so famous in the Wizard Alliance that some of the sorcerer-apprentices had heard of it.
Of course, such a powerful World Tree had its own weakness. It could never truly descend into other worlds.
"Oh?"
Grimm expressed his interest. Following Alastair's lead, they walked towards another manor in the distance.
In the sky, there was a giant balloon airship flying across the sky, casting a huge shadow.
The manor was supported and protected by a layer of giant defense shield. It was a scorching summer day in the Holy Tower of Seven Rings, but the temperature within the defense shield was extremely cold.
The ground was covered with ores. A jelly-like soft-bodied creature wrapped around the ores and ate them.
"Hmm, that's them. These creatures exude the breath of life. Their excrement is something that the elves of the World Tree love. The materials that I use to process the excrement are just cheap ores that can be found everywhere in the other world. "
Alastair shook his head and laughed at himself.
"If I don't include the transportation, I can easily turn it into a hundred times profit. It's one of the most profitable products in the family."
A hundred times profit!
Green asked in disbelief, "Such a high profit, it's really unbelievable."
Even though Grimm was a sorcerer who had no experience in doing business, he could imagine that a hundred times profit was enough to make some sorcerers give up their research on the path of truth and join this trade.
Alastair looked at Grimm and continued, "However, after the transportation cost, it's only double the profit. The remaining profit from the ninety-eight floors has been deducted from the Holy Tower's World Teleportation Circle."
At this moment, Alastair's words were filled with self-mockery.
"Once upon a time, I thought that I've mastered the secret of the world's rules. However, in the end, I realized that it's just an insignificant part of the rules of the great Celestial Sorcerer who made the rules. No matter how much profit a family gets, it's just to complete the follow-up work for the Holy Tower that opened up the foreign world's trading rules. I think … I've chosen the wrong path. "
Grimm looked at Alastair in shock.
This guy's previous dream was to use resources and profit to change the world's rules of the sorcerers?
With the wisdom of mortals, it might be possible if the sorcerer world only had simple contract rules. However, the reality was …
After all, the sorcerer world was ruled by the Celestial Sorcerer. There was no other reason other than the crushing power of their higher life level.
"Tell me, why did you suddenly come to my place after not seeing each other for so many years? Don't tell me that you've suddenly thought of me. You're now a Rank-1 Honor Badge Demon-Hunter Sorcerer who holds great authority in the Demon-Hunting Expedition while I'm just an Arcane Sorcerer with abundant resources in the sorcerer world. I can't affect you anymore. "
Alastair finally asked straightforwardly after bringing Grimm around the three manors that he and his wife were in charge of for two hourglasses.
This was the nature of the Dark Sorcerers.
Grimm looked at Alastair and said solemnly, "I'd like to make a deal with you."
"What kind of deal?"
Alastair asked. However, Grimm lowered his head in silence as if he didn't know how to express himself.
Alastair frowned and said, "Perhaps I should rephrase my question. What can you offer me and what do you need from me?"
Grimm nodded and said, "What I can offer you is the information channel that overrides the Battle Command of the Void Fortress with my Rank-1 Honor Badge. I'll give you a copy of the world's information every time I go through a Demon-Hunting Expedition. I believe that with your wisdom, you'll be able to reap great rewards in the long run. "
After a pause, Grimm continued, "What I need your help with is to provide me with sufficient resources when I advance into a Stigmata Sorcerer and need to cultivate and reproduce a large number of civilians."
"You …"
Alastair pointed at Grimm.
"You're planning to become a Stigmata Sorcerer when you're still a Rank-1 Sorcerer! How did you know that you'll advance … "
Alastair's pupils shrunk as he stared at Grimm. He murmured in disbelief, "Is this the prying rule brought about by the forward-looking wisdom that my mentor once mentioned? Sacrificing a little benefit now to pry open an infinite benefit in the future! "
