Faern Plane, Shadow Island.
The Shadow Island, which had been quiet for a while, was once again bustling with noise and excitement.
Fully loaded ships docked at the port in the western part of the island. A large number of alien coolies, under the supervision of supervisors, were busy carrying boxes of heavy goods out of the cabins and into tall, solid stone warehouses near the coastline.
Ever since the outbreak of the witch disaster, this flourishing scene had never stopped.
A steady stream of loot from the Faern Continent and the Calan Continent had almost filled all the warehouses on the periphery of the Shadow Island. Even some warehouses near the core area of the island had to be vacated to store or imprison the looted wealth and slaves.
Because of the smooth progress of the war, the witches who went to the Faern Continent even joined forces to break into a small duchy near the sea. Then they roped in some wandering nobles and bandits nearby and formed a nondescript "Witch Union."
Now, no matter what, the war led by the Pale Witch had completely established a foothold in the Faern Continent. Even if the witch disaster ended, it would be countless times more difficult for the mainland's inherent forces to drive them out.
Because of the huge harvest of the witches, it naturally attracted all the large chambers of commerce and slave traders throughout the Faern Continent. Of course, those famous chambers of commerce still had to care about their own reputation, so they only sent some dark agents that they secretly controlled.
Overall, the Pale Witch and the others had the most harvest from this witch disaster!
Although there was not much of a breakthrough in the Calan Continent, the witches had turned the world upside down.
Not to mention anything else, just the millions of undead that came out of the Scar of Death in the middle of the Calan Continent had brought about 200,000 civilian losses to the forest elves. Although the Elven Kingdom had dispatched elite troops and a large number of strong people, they had already killed most of the undead.
However, the magic forest, which had been trampled by the undead, was greatly damaged. It would probably take at least nearly a hundred years to recover.
Moreover, the Dark Witch and the Destiny Witch, who had completed the task, had also brought disaster to the Pegasus Spring and the Dragon Cliff. According to the report of the Dark Witch in the Huiyin Islands, the Elven Kingdom had lost the strange magical beast Pegasus forever.
In addition, the forest dragons that had been living peacefully in the Dragon Cliff had also split up. About one-third of the green dragons and emerald dragons had been abducted by a thunder dragon that had crossed the border.
To think that such a thing could happen. To be honest, it was beyond everyone's and the dragon's expectations!
Six months had passed since the beginning of the war, and the Witch Disaster was coming to an end. Therefore, those witches who had completed their tasks or were in urgent need of rest returned to Shadow Island and began to gather here.
According to the agreement, the Pale Witches would only open the Planar Gate to send everyone back to the Sorcerer World eight months after the Witch Calamity began. Therefore, even if the Dark Witches and the Destiny Witches completed the task ahead of time, they still had to stay on Shadow Island for two more months.
The Dark Witches, who had returned to Shadow Island before the Destiny Witches, met up with their companions who had just been resurrected from the energy pool on the island. The witches of other factions who had returned from the Faern Continent to rest were overjoyed, and they all offered a high price to hire them as thugs, so that they could fight again before the end of the Witch Calamity.
Therefore, the Dark Witches did not stay on the island for a few days. They all joined the teams of different factions and set foot on the ship to the Faern Continent.
… …
Grimm and his party finally arrived at Shadow Island without a hitch.
The last time they left, they had swaggered away on a giant floating ship. But this time, they were much more low-key. They boarded a ship that transported slaves and returned to Shadow Island.
They stepped on the swaying gangplank and got off the smelly and dirty ship. As soon as they set foot on the stone pier, a group of overseers and slaves surrounded them. But when they saw the eye-catching Sorcerer robes of this group, the slaves scattered to the sides, not daring to block the path of the Sorcerers.
A witch in charge of the pier hurried over, and when she saw Grimm and Alice leading the way, she quickly bowed.
"Welcome back to Shadow Island, Lady Alice. Please come with me!"
As the territory of the Ashen Witches, Shadow Island had been strictly divided into a fixed hierarchy.
The twenty to thirty kilometer area in the center of the island belonged to the Sorcerers. Only Sorcerers and those they approved could enter and leave freely.
Ordinary outsiders could not get close to that area!
The periphery of the central area was clearly divided into four areas: East, West, South, and North.
The West was the port area, mainly responsible for the loading and unloading of goods and the transfer of warehouses. The North was the trade area, where all the trading companies had set up stalls or auction houses. The East was the magic area, responsible for selling equipment or items related to extraordinary powers. The South was the slave area, where large-scale slave auctions took place almost every day …
So, under the guidance of the little witch, Grimm and his party passed through the noisy pier, walked past the crowded warehouses, and followed a greyish-white stone path into the island for nearly ten kilometers before they reached the entrance of the Sorcerer Area.
The periphery of the Sorcerer Area was filled with all kinds of bloodthirsty demonic plants and terrifying monsters. There were only a few special entrances and exits, which were guarded by the Witches and the Wizard Beast Army.
This way, even if the enemy sneaked into Shadow Island, it would be extremely difficult for them to sneak into the Sorcerer Area!
At the entrance, the Witch in charge of guarding shone a strange crystal at Grimm and his party. After confirming everyone's identity, she let them into the Sorcerer Area.
Now that they were here, they could move about freely and were no longer restricted by anything!
Grimm and his party had paid a great price for this trip to the Calan Continent, but the rewards were equally great.
In terms of personnel, the Destiny Witches had sent a total of eight people, including Alice, but only four of them could return to Shadow Island alive. Fortunately, Alice had successfully advanced to Grade 2, which completely eliminated the imminent threat to her life.
With the basic lifespan of a Grade 2 Wizard of 300 to 500 years, Alice had a lot of time to slowly understand and experience the invisible benefits of the Scepter of Prophecy.
As for Grimm's party, they had suffered great losses!
First, they had lost people. The Poison Centipede, Endor, and the Three-headed Hound, Anguja, had both died on the Calan Continent. Mary had lost a Blood Knight, but they had gained seven more Blood Elves. Their strength had increased instead of decreasing. The Insect Lich, Bliss, was still trapped near Greenwater City. Although he was safe for now, it would be difficult for him to return in a short time.
Secondly, there was the loss of resources. That was a huge loss.
The greatest loss was, of course, the floating warship, as well as the hundreds of metal magic machines and half a hundred Goblin technicians and engineers.
Of course, these losses could be made up for with the help of the Goblin Plane. However, the self-destructing spatial furnace was one less. Before finding suitable magic alloys, Grimm would not be able to build more similar warships.
Of the newly formed Magical Machine Warriors, only the Ripper controlled by the Goblin Tigole was left. The other pseudo Grade 2 Goblin Army had been destroyed in the battle in the Dragon Cave, causing everyone to feel extremely resentful.
The total value of these items was more than a million magic crystals. Even if they sold the Forest Elves they had captured for a sky-high price, it would not be enough to make up for this loss.
But fortunately, through this battle in another plane, the Crimson Family and the Witches of Destiny had a deeper interaction and interaction. If one looked at it from the side, the Destiny Witches had finally found their place and showed signs of merging with the Crimson Family.
This … was undoubtedly Grimm's greatest gain from this trip!
A Grade 2 Destiny Witch who had lost the shackles of her life force and could be completely trusted … Perhaps only Grimm could clearly understand how much he had gained from this trip.
In the history of the Northern Witches, the Destiny Witches were like the 'eyes' they used to explore and observe the outside world. They had the historical mission of seeing through opportunities, guiding the way, and observing the minutest details!
All the Destiny Witches did not have powerful combat abilities, and could only rely on the protection of other Witch sisters to survive. Hence, their status in the Witch Faction was actually very high.
Now, Grimm had actually pulled Alice into his faction. In the foreseeable future, the Crimson Family would not have any worries and would welcome a huge opportunity for development.
After settling down in the Wizard Tower on the Shadow Island, all the Crimson Family Witches had nothing to do. As a reward for this battle, each wizard was given ten to thirty elven slaves, as well as magic gems weighing in kilograms.
Of course, the most important thing was the other world's knowledge from the Calan Continent!
Among the Forest Elves, there were Elven Mages and Druids, two major spellcasters. Although the core of their system revolved around divine spells, it still had a lot of reference and research value for Wizards who were also spellcasters.
As spoils of war for following the family to the brink of death, all the Crimson Sorcerers and Destiny Witches who participated in the battle also received a copy of the Knowledge Crystal. It was much more valuable than the Elven slaves and magic gems!
Anyway, there were still two months before the plane door would open again. Hence, some Witches from the family who could not stay idle also invited the Destiny Witches to join the team heading to the Faen Continent.
There, the teams of witches from various factions were happily fighting with the natives of the Faen Continent. If they went there, they would be just in time for the harvest, and they might even be able to get some other benefits.
Hence, under Mary's lead, the Wind Wizard Sella, Medusa, the Goblin Tigule, and the others all ran to the Faen Continent. Only the Dragonman Zachary maintained his uninterested attitude, loyally guarding Grimm.
Grimm took the opportunity to stay on the Shadow Island, organizing the things that needed to be organized and auctioning the things that needed to be auctioned. He also took the opportunity to collect some special resources from the Faen Plane.
