The King of the Gem Sea, Raab Rad, expressed that he had no interest in admiring the dark Sorcerer's laboratory.
As such, Grimm was the only one who followed the Black Sorceress into the pitch-black tunnel.
Pairs of green eyes opened. After seeing that it was the Black Mage King, the bats that were hanging upside down on the ceiling closed their eyes again, allowing the Black Mage King and Grimm to enter the depths of the tunnel.
"Hehe, there are always some slaves who try to escape. I had no choice but to nurture these little things to guard the entrance of the laboratory over a long period of time."
A furry bat king landed on the Black Mage King's arm. It had a ferocious face and was chattering away.
The icy cold stone tunnel was a little low, and there were some ugly bugs and green moss growing in the gaps between the rocks. Moisture condensed on the cold stone slabs, dripping down. After walking for a long time, they saw a few magic lamps.
This was a transfer station for the hall. There were two holes in the ground, and noises could be heard occasionally from the depths of the ground. A five-meter-tall synthetic monster was lying on the ground, guarding the entrance. Upon seeing the Black Mage King, it got up from the ground and licked the Black Mage King's feet like a puppy, wagging its tail happily and looking very excited.
The Black Mage King stopped and pointed at the magic lamps in the hall.
"I heard that these magic lamps can be traded for a few Sorcerer Essences in the Sorcerer Continent. Even the lowly slaves there can use them. I remember that 4,000 years ago, when I first built this laboratory, I used 500 slaves to exchange for 1,000 magic lamps. These slaves can be exchanged for 100 Sorcerer Essences in the Sorcerer Continent. "
The Black Mage King's eyes flickered, and she said coldly, "It's the evil Demon Hunter Consociation that is trying to exclude the dark Sorcerers from the Sorcerer World's system and seal off the trade in the Black Domain. Now, there's this Nightmare Adjudication. Hmph!"
The Black Mage King looked at Grimm, as if waiting for Grimm's reaction.
"Demon Hunter Consociation? It's indeed a powerful Elemental Sorcerer organization. It's said that this organization often hunts down dark Sorcerers as part of the assessment to recruit new members. The internal members are extremely strong in solo combat, and they're a secretive organization that's as strong as the Dawn Sages. As for the Nightmare Adjudication, could it be one of those newly born Nightmare Sorcerers? "
Nightmare Magi had only been around for a mere thousand years. Even if they were to establish a Nightmare Judgement against the dark Magi, it would be difficult for them to make a name for themselves. Grimm did not even take it to heart.
Although Grimm said it nonchalantly, he was actually shocked by the Dark Sorcerer's slave trade with humans.
Five hundred ordinary people were worth a hundred Sorcerer Essences. No wonder there were so many incidents of Dark Sorcerers invading the Sorcerer Continent.
If a Dark Sorcerer were to return to the Black Domain safely after plundering the Sorcerer Continent, his gains would probably far exceed the gains of a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer of the same level.
Of course, in terms of actual danger, the Dark Sorcerers were probably risking more than a demon-hunting expedition.
Hence, those who dared to venture into the Sorcerer Continent were usually low-level Dark Sorcerers without any foundation. People like this female Dark Sorcerer Queen who had her own breeding base would usually not choose to venture into the Sorcerer Continent to obtain slaves.
In fact, the Sorcerer Continent and the Black Realm had different standards for Dark Sorcerer acolytes.
Strictly speaking, there were no real Dark Sorcerer acolytes in the Black Realm. Once a Dark Sorcerer's Body of Despair was awakened, he or she would officially become a Dark Sorcerer acolyte. The Dark Sorcerer acolytes would be sent to the Dark Sorcerer's Tower to exchange for resources or to be trained as an assistant in experiments.
To the Dark Sorcerers of the Black Realm, without their own breeding base to collect human's Body of Despair, they would forever be a Dark Sorcerer acolyte. Only the Sorcerer Continent could produce Dark Sorcerer acolytes.
* Clatter, clatter, clatter … *
The chimera monster shook the wheel with all its might and pulled the metal elevator up from a hole.
"Let's go, Master. Hehehehe, my lab hasn't been visited by outsiders for 700 years. I can't wait to show you my masterpiece."
The six thousand years old witch was indifferent to the slaves and Dark Sorcerers around her. However, she was excited to meet an Elemental Sorcerer of the same level as her, like a collector showing off her collection.
Even Grimm, who had lived for close to three thousand years, understood some of the truth about the Black Sorcerers through some ancient records and descriptions. However, when he was about to witness the unique laboratory of a Black Sorcerer with his own eyes, he could not help but feel a sense of anticipation.
The elemental Sorcerers felt sorry for the mortals, and the elemental Sorcerers were looking for the truth out of instinct.
"Yes, thank you, Dark Wizard King."
Grimm stood on the elevator.
* Clatter, clatter, clatter … *
As the chimera moved, the elevator slowly descended and entered the spacious space inside the mountain.
Machines and equipment were common in the Sorcerer Continent, the Underground Abyss, and the Sky Castle. However, due to the restrictions of the Sorcerer Continent, high-quality wizards' lives were rare in the Black Realm.
If it were not for the fact that Grimm had arrived at the Fog Laboratory of a Level-3 Black Sorcerer King and not the laboratory of a young, low-level Black Sorcerer, Grimm would have thought that he had entered a civilian's factory. There was not even a magic lamp.
Of course, Dark Sorcerers had their own unique way of life, which was to make full use of the chimera …
* Thump! *
The metal elevator descended to the ground. The chimera stood behind the maid Sarah, looking like it had been waiting for a long time.
In the hall, over 100 strong men panted as they stood on both sides of Sarah. They looked to be between 20 to 40 years of age, and only had a leather skirt tied around their waists. Their strong bodies that were full of vitality were on full display.
If these men were on the Sorcerer Continent, they would all have the qualifications to be Knights. At this moment, their bodies were tense, and they stood ramrod straight, as if they were extremely nervous.
The floor was clean and spotless, and there was even a layer of red carpet laid out. It was obvious that Sarah had instructed these strong men to clean it up for Grimm's visit.
"These are the strongest breeds that I've personally picked out. They're in charge of the breeding of my slaves."
With that, the Dark Wizard King walked to a dark-skinned man and stopped in front of him, as if she was showing off her outstanding collection.
The Dark Wizard King's head only reached the man's chest, but it caused the man's body to tremble instinctively. He was so terrified that even his breathing became unstable.
"Haha, do you see that? This is my breeds' king. He's been modified by his bloodline and has produced hundreds of excellent descendants for me. As a reward, I'll promote him to the manager of this lab. "
Grimm, who was at the side, silently glanced at this so-called 'breeds' king.
This was a Legendary Knight who had been modified by his bloodline!
As if seeing a hint of surprise flash in Grimm's eyes, the Dark Wizard King felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. She brought Grimm into the depths of the lab, with the old maid Sarah and the giant chimera following behind.
