In the end, Fangzheng still met with Winter Horse.
After the initial awkward greeting, they encountered a very troublesome problem.
That was … … how to send Winter Horse back to her world.
"Huh? Bro, can't you do it? "
"It might be a little difficult …"
Fangzheng was helpless. The last time he went to the love world, he used the Dimensional Codex's normal transmigration instance. The normal instance would disappear after transmigration, and only the free world would remain. So even if Fangzheng clicked on the system, he could not find any options related to the love world.
Of course, if Fangzheng could enter the code base and modify it, he might be able to make some changes.
But the system did not give him any face …
But if the system could not do it, then so be it. Fangzheng had other ways. After all, many mages in the main world had transmigrated to other worlds. For example …
"So you want to transmigrate?"
After taking a sip of chilled type A blood, the necromancer chief shook his calves and looked at Fangzheng.
"But I remember that the Tendo Temple has a technique to transmigrate?"
"Transmigration isn't omnipotent, and our method is more … scientific."
Fangzheng coughed and changed the topic.
"So I want to ask you if there are any similar methods in magic."
"I see. I understand what you mean."
After listening to Fangzheng's explanation of the matter, Colette nodded.
"So you want to go back to a world you've transmigrated to, but you can't find a way?"
"That's right, Miss Colette. Do you have any good suggestions?"
"Of course."
Faced with Fangzheng's question, Colette thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Indeed, mages are not omnipotent. Even if we can transmigrate, we can only rely on magic skills and the surge of magic power … Well, I'm the necromancer chief, so I'm not very proficient in this area. But I can give you a suggestion, that is, there is a suitable key for everything. As long as you find this key, the problem will no longer be a problem. "
"Well, where is this key?"
"As the saying goes, every profession has its own specialization."
A smug smile appeared on Collette's face.
"Although mages can travel between planes, they still can't grasp the mysteries of space. However, there was a certain type of people who were born with the ability to pass through crystal walls and world barriers at will. To them, time, space, planes, and everything else were clearly visible. Moreover, as long as you pay enough, they will be willing to help you. "
"Oh? There's such a person? "
Hearing this, Fangzheng was stunned. He thought that he was already very powerful to be able to travel through worlds. He didn't expect that according to Colette, there was actually a kind of person in this world who could travel through worlds?
Oh my god, it couldn't be that the transmigration system was sending them in bulk, right?
"That's right, planar merchants. They're a very unique kind of people … Hmm, you can't see them as a race. On the contrary, they're very similar to spellcasters. I think you also know that learning magic requires talent, be it dwarves, humans, elves, or orcs. And planar merchants are also a kind of 'talent'. "
"So, what we need to do is find a planar merchant and ask him to take us to that world?"
Only then did Fangzheng understand what Colette meant. Although he felt that it was a little unreliable, he was also quite interested in other ways of traveling.
"So, where can we find that planar merchant?"
"Interplanar merchants are usually active in the astral plane. They rarely appear on the main plane, but fortunately, I haven't lived my life in vain. A long time ago, when I was travelling in the astral plane, I met an interplanar merchant. He's not bad, and he's very trustworthy. If you need, I can find that merchant … Of course, you'll have to prepare a reward."
"That's not a problem."
Fangzheng nodded without hesitation. As long as it was something that could be solved with money, it would not be a problem at all.
"By the way? How much money? "
"Hahaha, for a planar merchant, money means nothing."
Hearing Fangzheng's question, Colette shook her head.
"After all, no matter how many gold coins there are in this world, they can't be spent in other worlds. So, if you want a planar merchant to act, you'd better prepare something unique and interesting … Hmm, for example, those metal battleships of yours. "
"If it's just a battleship … Well, it's not impossible."
Hearing Colette's request, Fangzheng thought for a moment and nodded. Of course, a battleship girl was out of the question, but if it was just an ordinary battleship, it didn't matter.
"Is there anything else?"
"Hmm, when you negotiate with that planar merchant, you'd better bring those cute little girls with you. That guy likes cute girls the most. Maybe if you let those little girls … act cute, he'll give you a discount. "
"…"
Although he was a little uneasy about Colette's promise, Fangzheng still agreed to her proposal and brought Tiria, Hecate and Nimf.
Of course, for safety reasons, Fangzheng finally decided to summon the planar merchant on the territory of the Kingdom of Saints instead of in the Tendo Temple.
Colette had no objection to this. After all, she was just an introducer.
"Alright, I'll start."
Colette glanced at the full moon above her head and said. She reached into her pocket and took out a crystal that looked like a black pyramid. She flicked it lightly.
"Ding —!"
Accompanied by a crisp sound, the crystal in Colette's hand suddenly disintegrated and quickly dispersed. It rotated and reassembled to form a gate nearly two meters high. A dark, dim void appeared in it and slowly rotated.
Seeing this scene, Winter Horse couldn't help but widen her eyes in astonishment. Although she had seen many magical things since she came to this world, magic like this ….. still left her astonished.
After a while, a voice came from the void on the other side of the gate.
"Oh, isn't this little Colette? I didn't expect you to contact me. What's the matter? "
Little Colette?
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng looked at the chief necromancer beside him with a strange expression. Although Colette was indeed quite small in appearance, perhaps even younger than Sky, her age was still … Forget it, let's not talk about it.
"I'm here to introduce you to a business deal."
Colette didn't seem to want to talk much with the other party. She only said a few words indifferently and stepped aside. Seeing this, Fangzheng coughed and walked out.
"Hello."
"Hello, sir."
The voice paused for a moment, then returned to normal.
"Please wait a moment."
After saying this, everyone saw the Void Gate start to spin gradually. After a while, the swaying shadow condensed into the shape of a human figure. Then, a person appeared in front of Fangzheng.
It was a young girl who looked to be 17 or 18 years old. She had silky smooth hair and wore a large triangular hat. She wore a black cloak and robe. The young girl walked out of the gate and waved at everyone with a smile.
"Hello, my name is Stefania Yuria. You can just call me Stefania … Sir, may I know your name?"
"My name is Fangzheng."
"Hello, Mr. Fangzheng. How can I be of service to you?"
"Here's the thing."
Fangzheng said while looking at the winter horse beside him.
"This young lady came here from her world by accident, and we don't have a way to let her return to her own world … Do you have any solution to this problem?"
"Of course not."
However, as soon as Fangzheng's voice faded, Stefania answered without hesitation. This surprised Fangzheng.
"Really?"
"Of course, Mr. Fangzheng."
Stefania raised her head proudly as she spoke.
"This might be a tricky matter for you, but it's not the case for us planar merchants. As long as this lady carries something from that world, we can follow the scent and find the world she's in … Hmm, from this point of view, you can think of us as hunting dogs, following the trail of our prey, and then finding its lair …."
"I see."
Fangzheng nodded and asked again.
"How much time will it take?"
"That's hard to say. After all, we have to consider all kinds of risks during the journey …"
"Wait, did you say journey?"
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng immediately grasped the meaning behind Stefania's words.
"Aren't you going to build a portal here and teleport there directly?"
"Of course not."
Stefania revealed a bitter smile.
"We're just plane merchants, Mr. Fangzheng. A god like you may be used to inter-plane teleportation, but for us, we only use the simplest, safest, and time-consuming method … We don't have the authority of a god, not to mention the amount of energy needed to open the plane barrier between two worlds … "
After listening to Stefania's explanation, Fangzheng finally understood.
Just as Stefania said, the amount of energy needed to connect two planes wasn't a small amount. Of course, it also depended on who it was. For a god like Fangzheng, that amount of energy wasn't much. But for a plane merchant, it was no different from sending a customer across a mountain to their destination.
Which merchant would spend money to dig a hole in a mountain?
Of course climbing a mountain would save money!
"So you're sending her back personally?"
"Of course not."
Stefania shook her head again.
"It depends on which package you choose."
There's a package?
"What kind of package do you have?"
"We have three packages. Package A is the simplest and most convenient. I can give you a guidance crystal and send this lady to the astral plane, following my guidance crystal. Theoretically speaking, as long as she doesn't get caught in a dimensional storm, be captured by the Kisians as a slave, or become a meal for the astral plane, she can return to her own world. "
"…"
What's this? I'm just giving you a train ticket, and life and death are up to fate?
"Package B requires an additional fee. We'll introduce you to a mercenary group in the astral plane, and they'll escort this lady back to her world. Of course, if there's an accident along the way, we'll return the deposit."
"… Hmm?"
"As for the final package C … we'll need to charge you two additional fees. I'll send professional staff to accompany you. Of course, we'll also prepare the strongest mercenaries to escort you, but I hope you can understand that the astral plane is infinite. Anything can happen during the journey …"
After listening to Stefania's three packages, Fangzheng was speechless.
"In other words, no matter which package you choose, you can't guarantee that you can send her back safely?"
"Safety is just a definition, Mr. Fangzheng."
Stefania's smile didn't change in the slightest.
"It depends on whether you're referring to her body or soul … Of course, we'll explain it when we sign the contract."
"…"
At that moment, Fangzheng was convinced that he had met an unscrupulous merchant.
