Kabi was in a terrible mood today.
After more than 60 years of separation, his master had finally summoned him again.
The meeting was still warm and enthusiastic, but when he returned to his goblin shop, Kabi suddenly became depressed.
After a simple inspection of the shop, he looked at the acolytes who bowed and bowed in front of him, not daring to breathe too loudly. Then he looked at the three Magi who were already waiting in the shop. Suddenly, the gnome Kabi lost the pride and arrogance he had in the past.
After sending them away with a few words, he returned to the secret room at the back of the shop, lying on his favourite chair and staring blankly at the ceiling.
His master was still his master! After more than 60 years, his master's face was exactly the same as it was 60 years ago, as if the passage of time had not left any traces on his body.
And he …
Kabi crawled up and ran to the mercury mirror in the corner of the room, carefully inspecting his appearance.
Rough green skin was loosely piled on his body, the once glossy green skin now dull and lifeless. His previously ugly face was still ugly, but apart from the ugliness, one could faintly see signs of old age and weakness.
Green goblins were just too ugly, so the humans around him wouldn't carefully size him up. Even the Magi that had a request for him spoke to him amiably, but in their hearts, they were full of disdain and disdain.
In their eyes, goblins were often associated with stupid, slaves, and experimental materials. They didn't deserve to be called intelligent creatures. If it wasn't for the fact that they wanted to get their hands on the Magus rank magic puppets that the shop regularly released, these arrogant Magi wouldn't even be willing to approach him, let alone lower their heads and beg him.
In the past, the goblin Kabi had always enjoyed the scene of being on equal footing with these Magi. He always squinted his eyes, crossed his legs, and listened to their stiff and dry flattery and praise without batting an eyelid.
But today, for some reason, the goblin Kabi had suddenly lost interest in all of this.
Lying in front of the mercury mirror that could completely reflect his appearance, Kabi looked left and right, and finally had to admit that he was old.
As a lowly goblin, his basic lifespan was much shorter than a human's, at most 60-80 years. In the cruel environment of the natural world, most gnomes would be considered old if they could live to 30 years old!
Most gnome tribes couldn't afford to raise old gnomes who had lost their fighting abilities. So once a gnome was over 30 years old and entered the middle and late stages of his life, he wouldn't be far from being abandoned by the tribe!
His carefree and blissful life had made Kaby forget that he was a gnome. But after meeting his Master today and seeing his Master's youthful appearance, Kobi realized this point once again.
Although it was a strange goblin that had been modified by sorcerers using witchcraft, in terms of vitality, it was already a tier-1 magical creature. This would undoubtedly double its basic lifespan. However, the Gnome's basic lifespan was too low. Even if it was doubled, it would only be around 140 to 150 years.
And it …
To put it bluntly, after its master went into seclusion once, it was already halfway through its life. In most Gnome tribes, he was on the verge of being eliminated.
A tinge of sorrow and fear floated in his heart for no reason. The goblin Kabi started pacing around the secret room in frustration.
This was a high-level Magus World!
This was the omnipotent Magus World!
Could it be that, as a noble Gnome merchant, he couldn't find a way to extend the life of a gnome here?
After flipping through countless books on witchcraft and calling in a few apprentices to ask about it, the goblin Kabi painfully discovered that even in the Magus World, extending one's life was a costly and extravagant act.
As for the more popular life extension rituals among the Magi, they could be split into low, mid, and high grades. The low grade could extend one's life by 50 years, the mid grade could extend it by 300 years, and the high grade could extend it by a thousand years. As for their prices, they were naturally the same as their effects. It was depressing to the point that one would want to rob a Wizard's Pagoda.
Other than the price, the life extension ritual also required many rare resources, most of which were hard to find in the Magus World. Just gathering the resources would probably cost an astronomical figure. Even if one managed to gather all the resources, they would still need to hire a high-level Magus to preside over the ritual. This was a huge sum that an ordinary Magus would not even dare imagine.
Thus, according to Kabi's understanding, the low grade life extension ritual would cost around 700,000 to 800,000 Magic Crystals, the mid grade around 5 million Magic Crystals, and the high grade was almost priceless …
With Kabi's savings over the years, in addition to helping Grimm's master manage the shop, he had also accumulated some 'private stash', about a hundred and fifty to sixty thousand Magic Crystals.
In the past, it had always been proud of its hard work and ability. But now, after comparing the two, he had suddenly lost the motivation to work hard. He felt that everything in front of him was like a bubble that would burst with a gentle poke.
When he was young, no one would think of death directly.
But after enjoying the glory and prosperity, the goblin Kabi felt that he could not leave all of this.
Every day, he would patrol his Gnome shop, enjoying the subservience of the apprentices, listening to the subservience of the Magi. Such days were blissful.
But now …
Kabi had a terrifying feeling that he was walking towards death.
I must become someone useful to my master!
Kabi swore fiercely …
That night, the Gnome Kabi contacted the Gnome Grand Duke, Gaz 'ruvi, who was far away in another dimension. Then, a large batch of Magic Stones was sent to the Gnome Dimension through a transaction.
Of course, there was also a seemingly inconspicuous little silver ore mixed in with this batch of magic ores. The specks of silver dust inside were covered by the thick ore.
Its weak energy undulations were mixed in with the rich aura of the magic crystals, making it impossible for the weak perception of the gnomes to detect it.
The bait had already been cast, and all that was left was to wait for the other party to take the bait.
… …
Grimm wasn't surprised by Kobi's earnest suggestion.
It was a Green Goblin, and Gaz Ruvi, who was far away in another dimension, was also a Green Goblin. Although the two of them shared the same origin, they did not have any blood ties or familial ties, so they did not have the burden of betraying their own kind.
Moreover, with the fickleness of goblins, Grimm was already surprised that Kabi had taken so long to make a move.
But no matter what Kabi's initial motive was, the only thing he cared about was sending the mixed 'gift'. As for the Longevity that Kabi dreamed about, Grimm had agreed to it without thinking.
Kabi still had seventy to eighty years to live, and it would not be too late to consider this problem after the Gnome Plane fell into his hands. Life extension ritual? That was too expensive, and it often required strange items such as dragon bones, dragon saliva grass, and hydra eggs. Even Grimm did not have the confidence to find these things.
So, when Kabi was about to die, it was not a bad idea to turn him into a spirit or a wizard beast. His lifespan would definitely be extended. Of course, he could let Mary Embrace him and turn him into a bloodsucking gnome. But the blood of a gnome was so smelly, whether Mary would be willing to bite him was a problem …
After dealing with all the matters at hand, Grim strolled into a secret room.
The secret chamber was empty, and there was only a complicated and mysterious Sorcerer Formation carved in the center.
When Grimm stepped into it, the Wizard's Pagoda immediately channeled a large amount of energy into the Wizard Formation. Countless Wizard Runes and magical lines silently appeared in the air, and a majestic Wizard Formation enveloped the entire secret room.
The secret chamber immediately became dark and lightless.
… …
At the same time, within the Tower of Destiny in the north.
The Astrology Platform at the top of the Tower of Destiny suddenly released a dark fog, engulfing the entire space at lightning speed.
A graceful and graceful figure was silently standing in the darkness, looking up at the twinkling stars in the sky.
A river of stars twinkled in the sky.
In this beautiful world of stars, Alice's graceful figure seemed so lonely, so cold. Even her face was wet with tears.
A tall figure hugged her from behind, gently wiping away the two streams of tears that had just rolled down her cheeks.
"What are you feeling sad about? If you're thinking too much, you can directly teleport to the Blazing Flame Monarch! Don't always hide here and grieve by yourself … "Grimm's voice came from the tall figure, but it was obvious that this body was not a real body, but some kind of strange Wizard Technique that projected his consciousness.
Alice squeezed back, letting 'Grimm' hug her tightly, but did not say anything.
Over the years, she had always been that ice-cold, divine-like prophet in front of outsiders, the Witch of Destiny Alice who was always shrouded in a mysterious veil! But only she knew that every time she stood on the Astrology Platform, she could clearly sense the majestic and unceasing torrent of destiny.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Witches of Destiny were mighty beings that controlled the river of destiny. Even she herself had been lost beneath the mysterious and unfathomable power of destiny when she'd just come into contact with it.
But the deeper she immersed herself in the river of destiny, the more she felt powerless and weak. Every time she explored the river of destiny, it was no less than a risk, and it was a risk that she was completely unprepared for.
The river of destiny was not unchanging.
In the vast and boundless Magus World, the number of powerhouses that had the ability to stretch their tentacles into the river of destiny were as many as the hairs on a cow. Their existence was a disaster for Alice!
These fellows used their own strength to stir up torrents in the river of destiny without the slightest scruple, intercepting the river of destiny as they pleased and directing it in the direction they desired.
