Kabi was frustrated!
It was the mysterious white stone that made the usually optimistic and positive creature feel troubled.
Unable to understand the usage of the mysterious white stone, Kabi tossed it to the side and busied himself with his goblin shop. He didn't have the time to find an appraiser for it.
But after two days of hard work, the white stone suddenly glowed.
The white stone laid silently on the wooden table by the window, emanating a faint white light under the hazy moonlight.
Yes, that was the light emitted by the white stone itself and not the reflected moonlight. Kabi was extremely certain of this!
Kabi approached White Rock step by step, carefully touching it with his hand. It wasn't hot nor cold. The white light didn't come from a heat source, but a mysterious magical energy within the white stone. From the fact that it could absorb moonlight and convert it into its own energy, Kabi deduced that it was a special magical equipment from another plane of existence.
With this thought, Kabi fished out another magical crystal to test it out. However, what surprised him was that the moment the magical crystal approached the white stone, the white stone actually disassembled and deformed with a cracking sound. After a series of disassembly that left Kabi dazzled, a mysterious magical machine that resembled a communication mirror appeared before him.
The magical machine extended a mechanical arm to grab the magical crystal and stuffed it into a slot on its abdomen. Then, a strange mechanical voice echoed in the room.
"Discovered a basic energy crystal. Can be used as an energy source. Magical core serial number 03768. Estimated recovery rate of 17%. Activating … "
Then, with a series of strange creaking sounds, the mysterious white stone that was the Mana Core actually stood up and aimed its light screen at the goblin Kaby.
After the light screen shook violently, an incomparably enormous glass eye suddenly appeared. Then, a strange, noisy, hoarse voice sounded from within.
"Strange … Strange … How did a magical core that hasn't moved for over 200 years suddenly come to life? Hey, little fella, did you activate this magical core? " The voice coming from the Mana Core was definitely a language Kabi had never heard or learned before. But what was going on? When the voice entered Kabi's ears, he inexplicably understood the meaning behind it.
"Who are you? How did you get into this thing? This … What … What is this thing? "Kobi's cowardly nature flared up again. Judging from the size of this guy's eyeballs, he was definitely a terrifying giant. Once it came out, would he still have a way out?
At this moment, Kabi was filled with regret. Why didn't he tell his master about this earlier? Perhaps only its miraculous master could save it from the giant's jaws.
While Kabi was struggling intensely with his thoughts, the glass eye on the light screen moved back a set distance, finally allowing him to clearly see the other party's appearance.
Unexpected, unexpected! The other party's appearance was almost the same as it. They were both slightly over a meter tall, with green skin, two big ears, a long and sharp nose, and a head of short, messy, yellow hair. The huge glass eye he saw earlier was actually a special pair of goggles worn by the other party.
The opponent was also a Gnome!
The Gnome wore a dirty white gown and had a drawing pen clipped to his ear. His eyes were equipped with a magnifying glass, which made him look strange. But no matter how strange he looked, Kabi was certain that he was a … Gnome!
After looking left and right for a long time, the Gnome didn't expect the communication request from a distant plane to be from a Gnome. Hence, after grumbling for a long time, it finally became more amiable and warmly conversed with Kabi.
"You … Are you a Gnome too?" Kabi asked timidly.
"Little fella, you're facing the greatest inventor of the Gnome Empire, Duke Gaz Ruvi. You'd better use honorifics when you ask me questions! "The yellow-haired Gnome on the other side of the light screen waved his arms and threatened in dissatisfaction.
"Then, great Duke Gaz 'ruvi, can you tell me what this thing is? Also, why can I understand you … what you're saying? "
"F * ck … Seems like you don't know anything, little fella." The yellow-haired Gnome cursed wildly before explaining helplessly, "What you're seeing now is the Mana Core I invented — Super Long Distance Mana Mechanical Communication Teleportation Device. Simply put, it's a device that allows two Gnomes to communicate and teleport items across a long distance.
Also, you can understand me because you're a Gnome too! As long as you're a Gnome, no matter which plane you're in, you'll naturally understand the Gnome language. This is a language unique to us Gnomes! "
Kabi's eyes widened as he couldn't believe his ears.
"Since this device was invented by you, why did it end up here?" Kabi asked curiously.
"Since this device is called Super Long Distance Mana Mechanical Communication Teleportation Device, it's naturally used for inter-plane transactions! When I was young, I made a few hundred of them and used random teleportation to throw them to different places in the multiverse. The local powerhouses who picked up this device naturally became my customers. If I remember correctly, this device number 03768 was connected to a powerful Molten Core Giant. Unfortunately, it was very poor and didn't have anything good on it! "
"You … You're actually a great interplane merchant?" Kabi, who was greedy by nature and loved to take advantage of others, widened his eyes. Evidently, the Gnome Empire's chief inventor was far less worthy of his reverence than the interplane merchant!
"Of course! As the Gnome Empire's greatest engineer, inventor and interplane merchant, I, Duke Gazzlurvi, am famous throughout the multiverse! "
"You've mentioned the Gnome Empire many times? What … is that? "Kabi asked curiously.
Gazzlurvi shouted proudly, "The Gnome Empire is obviously the Gnome Empire! This is a plane that we, the Gnomes, have established our own kingdom. Here, we, the Gnomes, are the true masters of the plane. Since you've asked, it must be because the status of the Gnomes is very low in your plane, right? "
Kabi clenched his fists excitedly, his eyes filled with little stars of envy. But then he remembered his own situation and could not help but lower his ears dejectedly.
Gazzlurvi sighed silently.
He had seen such a scene many times. In most material planes, the Gnomes were discriminated against, reduced to a pitiful state where they could be bullied by anyone. They had no combat ability and no talent. Even among magical creatures, they were at the bottom of the food chain.
However, Gazzlurvi was very curious about this foreign Gnome who had inadvertently activated his magic core. After patiently asking, he found out that this dejected little Gnome was actually a servant of a mysterious Magus.
(Kabi was bragging!)
When Gazzlurvi could not help but question whether Kabi was a penniless wretch, the resentful Kabi opened his waist pouch and displayed his treasures one by one.
There were fist-sized Fire Diamonds, sapphires, rubies, green agates, topaz, emeralds, as well as rare Night Vision Stones, Burning Stones, and Red Sharp Stones that had great regional characteristics …
Looking at the inconspicuous little Gnome taking out so many rare gems in one go, Gazzlurvi's eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets. He did not care about those Elemental Gems, as such gems were common in the plane he came from. However, he had never seen the special gems or materials like Night Vision Stones, Burning Stones, and Red Sharp Stones, and he was very interested in a few of them.
In the Gnome Empire where he came from, the most powerful thing was all kinds of magical machinery. What drove the magical machinery was a large number of energy crystals and unique magical gems. If he could bring these special magical gems back and understand the existence and coexistence of the special energy within, it would undoubtedly be of great help to the magical machinery.
So the two Gnomes chatted more and more, and finally reached a trade agreement, preparing to secretly carry out a cross-plane material exchange.
The trade list from both sides was terrifyingly long.
What Kabi listed were magical gems, witchcraft materials, and some special wizard resources that he had heard of or come into contact with in the Sorcerer World. On the other hand, Gazzlurvi listed all kinds of powerful but dangerous magical machinery, as well as some special resources from the Gnome Plane.
After both sides browsed through each other's trade list, when they were interested in a certain item, they would start to make a targeted offer and bargain. Goblins were indeed known as the most greedy creatures in the world who only cared about their own profits.
These two Gnome brothers were chatting happily just now, but when it came to the price of the items, they were extremely stingy and haggling over every single detail. For the price difference of one or two magic crystals, they would blow their beards and stare at each other, loudly cursing all the female relatives of the other party. If the other party did not give in, they would go their separate ways.
That was why Kabi did not sleep for the entire night. He fought with the greedy, stingy, shameless, selfish, stingy, unhygienic, and smelly Duke Gazzlurvi for more than 20 hours before they settled on two cross-plane transactions worth less than five magic crystals.
In order to maintain communication with the other party, the Gnome Kabi spent more than three magic crystals a night.
However, both sides did not find it strange at all. Kabi even danced with joy at being able to lower the price of the other party's magic crystal. On the other hand, Gazzlurvi roared angrily, loudly cursing Kabi for being the most shameless and green-skinned Gnome he had ever seen.
