Their conversation was cut short when the door opened and Angor came out of the room.
Ness raised an eyebrow and looked at the thin book in Angor's hand. "You have a choice, I see."
Angor nodded. The book contained detailed information on how to cultivate some special insects. Soft Worms belonged to the Terrain Worm Family, and they were related to invertebrates. Angor thought he might find something in the book.
"Tell me. What do you want to see?" Ness asked.
Angor considered for a moment. There were many things in the book that he wanted to know. In other words, other than this thin booklet, he was also very curious about the contents of the other books.
Still, he knew how valuable knowledge was. Ness' willingness to share such a rare legendary treasure was already a great sign. His greed was insatiable, and it might even cause others to dislike him.
Angor suppressed his greed. "From the bottom half of page 18 to the top half of page 19. The section about invertebrates. "
It was only a small page.
Ness' eyes glinted. He exchanged a glance with Sunders and nodded. "Alright. For this page, I'll only charge you a thousand magic crystals. What do you say?"
Was a thousand magic crystals expensive? Of course it was. To other people, even some official Sorcerers would not be able to earn 1,000 magic crystals easily.
However, a thousand magic crystals for a page of a legendary wizard's manuscript would be too cheap!
Angor even thought that Ness would ask for more than ten thousand. Angor felt a little reluctant to pay that much, but the manuscript was worth it.
"Deal!" Angor nodded without hesitation. A thousand magic crystals was too cheap for a page like this. Even if the book did not contain any information on how to cultivate Soft Worms, it was still worth it.
After using his bone card, Ness' hand glowed in a strange light. He turned to page 18 of the book and began to unseal the section Angor mentioned.
Angor picked up the book and began to read.
Previously, he had thought that the content on this page would be too little and that it wouldn't record anything too detailed. He guessed that this time, he might not be able to find the method to cultivate the Soft Morphing Worm.
But when he looked at it carefully, he realized that there was much more to this page than he expected.
Incircote did not use words to record the information. Instead, it used an unknown method to pour a large amount of information into Angor's mind through the lines on the page.
If this page was recorded in words, it would take at least a hundred pages.
When Angor finished dizzily, he realized that he had left the Valley of Souls with Sunders.
He took out his Gondola and began to set sail. Angor was still in a daze when he completed the series of actions. When the cold wind came from above, he slowly regained his consciousness.
"How did it go? Did you find the method to cultivate Soft Worms?" Sunders made sure that Angor's eyes.
"It didn't mention how to breed Soft Morphing Larvae. But it did mention how to increase the chances of a Soft Larva Queen hatching a special unit."
Sunders did not ask about the specific method. It was enough to know that Angor had found something useful this time. It would be great news if Angor could use this method to cultivate Soft Worms. After all, Polymorph was one of the basic spells that wizards had to learn.
If Angor could learn Polymorph by transplanting the skin of a Soft Worm, he would save a lot of time to study other spells and research.
However, compared to the other information Angor brought to him, such as the dream wasteland, such good news was not worth mentioning. Therefore, Sunders' expression remained calm.
"This book is very useful. The Dream Weaver ant is one of the variables, but it's not the only one. It might not work if we rely on the ant to stimulate the Soft Worm Mother." Angor was a little excited. He mumbled a bunch of names of magic materials and magic insects, all of which could cause the Soft Worm Mother to lay eggs.
"Thank you, professor. Without you, I wouldn't be able to cultivate Soft Worms," Angor said. "Besides, Mister Ness wouldn't have offered such a low price if it weren't for you, professor."
Sunders gave Angor a strange look.
As a matter of fact, Ness told Sunders that Angor would pay between 10,000 and 100,000 magic crystals if he chose less than ten pages. If he chose more than ten pages, Ness would not accept the deal. For one thing, it would be too greedy. For another, Angor would not be able to handle the torrent of information generated by more than ten pages.
"What if he only chooses one page?" Sunders asked after a while.
Ness did not think that Angor would choose only one page. After all, the books contained a lot of knowledge. Many of them were extremely obscure and hard to find in the outside world.
"If he only chooses one page, I'll only charge him a thousand crystals. Also, I'll allow him to trade the books in the future, "Sunders said.
As it turned out, Ness was wrong.
It was not that Angor was not greedy. It was just that Angor knew where he stood. He needed to know how to control his desires in different situations.
Sunders did not tell Angor about Ness' price. "If you want to borrow those books from Ness again, you'll have to be prepared to pay at least ten thousand crystals."
Angor nodded. He believed that Ness's real price was more than ten thousand magic crystals. It was a bit expensive, but the knowledge in those books was valuable. When he had more money, he could go to Ness's place and do some business.
What Angor did not know was that because of his choice, Ness would allow him to trade more books. If Angor was greedy, this would probably be the last time he would be allowed to trade with Ness.
When Gondola arrived at the Tree of Eternity, Sunders asked Angor to stop for a moment.
"I need to go to Starry Island and ask Maya something." Sunders nodded at Angor and flew toward Starry Island.
Angor was about to return to Phantom Island when Sunders left, but he changed his mind and ordered Gondola to land on the ground.
…
A moment later, a middle-aged man who looked a little depressed entered the underground market.
It was Angor's disguise when he returned to the Old Earth on The Limpet. The reason he came to the underground market was to buy the magical materials and magical insects that could make the Queen Bug mutate as recorded in the Insekort Manuscript. He also wanted to see his old friend David.
As for why he changed his appearance, it was to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Angor knew that Prome's Alchemy Shop didn't have any demon bugs for sale, so he went to the market first. Most of the bugs sold here were low-level ones. Some of them were valuable, but there were also common ones that could affect the Soft Larva Queen.
There were also insects that could affect the Dream Weaver Ant. If the Dream Weaver Ant changed, the Soft Larva Queen would change as well. Angor wondered if the Soft Larva Queen would give birth to a new Soft Larva.
Angor wandered around the market leisurely and would buy any suitable insects he saw. He wasn't just limited to Devil Bugs. He would also buy things that caught his eye.
Soon, he finished his tour of the market and saw all kinds of strange insects. Satisfied, he left the place.
On his way to Prome's Alchemy Shop, he noticed that there were more people than usual in the underground market today. Angor did not feel that way when he entered the market. But as soon as he entered the main street, he felt like there was a huge crowd. Although it was not to the extent of brushing shoulders with the crowd, the large number of people coming and going caused him to have to slow down and follow the rhythm of the others as he slowly moved forward.
When he turned a corner, he noticed that the place was packed with people. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that there was an apprentice sitting cross-legged on an exotic flying carpet. There were some items placed in front of his flying carpet.
"Is this a street stall?" Angor remembered that street stalls could only be set up in free markets. "Wait, no. It's not a street stall since it's floating in the air. Is this a flying stall?"
This apprentice who had set up a 'flying stall' was selling a lot of things, including many alchemy weapons. It was precisely these things that attracted everyone's attention, and they all gathered around him, wanting to bid for them.
Speaking of which, the alchemy weapons looked familiar to Angor. The curves, the length, and the style … they were definitely modified by Tang Dao.
Angor could tell that the weapons were not tiered yet, but they were already at the peak of mortal level. Also, the crafting method used was different from Angor's own.
This meant that these improved Tang Sabers were not made by David.
Although Dave's Tang Dao was different in terms of its effects, the method of crafting it was the same as Angor's. These Tang Dao were obviously made based on Tang Dao. However, the imitation did not reduce the effectiveness of the weapons. Instead, it could achieve the same effect. This was enough to show how skilled the imitator was.
Angor was not unhappy about the fact that the Tang Dao was copied. Instead, he praised the creator's idea.
From the conversations around him, Angor learned that Dave had been studying other alchemy blueprints recently and did not produce Tang Dao for a while. That was why there were all kinds of Tang Dao replicas in the market. However, not many of them were good enough.
The stall owner in front of Angor was one of the best.
To an apprentice, a handy weapon was a huge boost to their strength. It was also necessary for them to go out and seek their destiny.
Therefore, the apprentices around him all started to bid for the Tang Dao. The competition was fierce.
Angor did not care about the Tang Dao. Instead, he looked at a roll of parchment beside the Tang Dao.
