Chapter 199 Is it really okay for you to treat people differently like this?
"This... I picked this up accidentally."
Dilus spoke hesitantly, and it was obvious that he was a child who rarely lied.
The caravan manager originally wanted to say something, but Dafik on the side spoke first: "How many magic stones do you want to exchange this for?"
This seemed to be a question to Dilus, and it also seemed to be a question to the caravan manager.
The manager, who has been in business for so many years, naturally understood what he meant and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he smiled and said, "This stuff is in short supply now. If you can trust me, I can exchange it for you for five hundred magic stones."
five hundred!
Dafik was surprised when he heard this number, and the butler on the side also swallowed his saliva.
Five hundred magic stones were enough to harvest their territory for several years.
Just this palm-sized piece of elemental crystal?
A moment.
Dafik thought a lot.
He didn't think that such a valuable thing could be picked up casually, and there was no such thing in his manor.
Then there is only one explanation, it was given to him by others!
Thinking again that his son often ran to the backyard during this period, Dafik finally had a guess in his mind.
"Okay, let's change!"
“A pleasure to work with.”
The caravan steward secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He clearly knows the value of elemental crystals, especially this kind of life crystal.
Once brought into the aristocratic circles of other prosperous provinces, it will definitely drive countless people crazy.
Although five hundred magic stones made him feel a little pain, it was worth it, because everyone knows that rare things are more valuable.
As for the source of things, he doesn't care too much. It's not good to ask too much about some things. Anyone who has good goods will be greeted with a smile. This is also their principle as a businessman.
"If Mr. Dafik still has such good things in the future, you must give them to me first."
The steward realized that he still underestimated the little border noble in front of him, so he had a smile on his face and his attitude was much more enthusiastic than before.
"It's easy to talk about. Then I'll trouble the steward to send the magic stone to my manor."
Dafik was not worried about the other party running away with the things. After handing the elemental crystal to the steward, he hurriedly left with Dilus, as if there was something urgent.
After they were far away, a mage in a robe from the caravan approached.
"Steward, I noticed something strange. The concentration of magic elements here seems to be much higher than before."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, I just went out and took a look. There is no change outside, but the surrounding area of the village is many times denser. I suspect... there are high-level magicians here."
"really."
The steward's expression was astonished, just as he had guessed.
This Green family may have received some advice from an expert.
I can easily take out an elemental crystal. It seems that I will have to walk around here in the future.
Thinking of this, he looked at the people who were preparing the goods: "Go, prepare an extra hundred magic stones and send them to the manor, just say they are gifts from us."
"receive."
The few of them didn't think much, took six hundred magic stones and hurried towards the manor.
And at this time.
Dafik has brought Dilus back to the manor.
No matter how stupid he was, he still guessed the general outline of the matter, but he did not bother Rhodes rashly, but told his son:
"If you encounter something like this in the future, just say that your father asked you to do it, or come to your father directly and go ahead. I will have someone send the magic stone there."
As he spoke, he glanced pointedly in the direction of the backyard.
"Okay father."
Dilus seemed to understand but hurried back to the backyard.
That night, the magic stone was delivered to Rhodes, and he began to try to make a magic puppet according to the method he learned from the elves.
Dilus was practicing magic beside him, running over from time to time to ask questions, looking very hardworking.
As for Dafik, he wakes up early every day and rushes around to buy magic stones, preparing to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
The days in the manor gradually became calmer.
…
Two days later.
In the backyard of the manor.
"It's done!"
Rhodes looked at the humanoid puppet in front of him with a look of surprise.
Although it is a bit rough, it does not affect the operation of magic power and can easily bear the arrival of his consciousness and bring out his full strength.
Finally, I no longer have to occupy the spider demon's awkward body.
"Shasha~"
A faint spiritual message came.
After this period of repair, the little spider demon's soul has been basically repaired, and it is no longer as stupid as it was at the beginning.
Rhodes looked at its soul and smiled: "From today on, the body can be returned to you. Do you want to return to the tribe?"
The little spider demon was abandoned by the tribe because he was born with a broken soul.
Now that his soul has recovered and turned into a normal spider demon, he will definitely not be abandoned by his tribe again.
"Shasha~"
Sure enough.
At the mention of returning to the tribe, the little spider demon's soul surged with joy, and there was absolutely no resentment of being abandoned.
But that’s fine too.
After returning to the tribe, his safety is at least guaranteed. Rhodes no longer has to worry about it running around and being killed by black-hearted adventurers someday. He can also get in touch with the spider demon clan to see if they are descendants of the Dream Weaver.
The only problem now is that he doesn't know where the spider demon's country is, after all, the gray border is so vast.
If he accidentally breaks into the territory of the undead, wouldn't he, a member of the natural camp, be arrested and whipped?
"Do you know where your home is?" Rhodes looked at the soul of the little spider demon.
Little spider demon: ? ? ?
"... Well, it seems that you don't know."
Rhodes was helpless. He thought that spider demons would leave behind some pheromones like ants to identify directions.
Since this doesn't work, he can only find local residents.
I heard that the two sides have recently stopped fighting, and many adventure teams and caravans have come, all planning to go to the countries of spider demons and undead tribes to do business. He can go with those teams.
"Okay, it's decided!"
Seeing that there was no one around, Rhodes quickly stood up and transferred his spiritual consciousness to the magic puppet in front of him.
After trying it, the activity was relatively smooth, and finally he didn't have to experience the fear of being dominated by eight legs.
On the contrary, the little spider demon who regained control of his body was a little uncomfortable. As soon as he stood up, he staggered around, looking unstable, which attracted Rhodes's ridicule.
When it finally adapted to the body, Rhodes also restrained his smile and looked at this familiar manor.
"I've been here for so long, it's time to say goodbye to them."
He had just arrived, and if it weren't for the help of this family, he wouldn't have been able to settle here so quickly, so he still had to thank them.
Thinking of this, Rhodes calmed down, put a few things on the grass where he usually liked to stay, and looked back at the direction of the manor.
"Let's go, I'll take you home first."
"Shasha~"
After that, they left the backyard and rushed towards the gray border.
When Dafick and his son came back from outside and came to the backyard, they were no longer visible.
"Did they really leave?"
Looking at the empty backyard, Dafick sighed, but he was not surprised at all.
In fact, since Rhodes used magic for the first time, he guessed that this spider demon was not simple.
And then his son's miraculous understanding of magic, and the various things that happened later, all made him more certain of his guesses.
Looking back now, what happened during this period was so bizarre and incredible.
And the beginning of everything was just an ordinary piece of jerky and a kind thought.
"Teacher... he left?"
Dirus stared blankly at the place where Rhodes taught him magic these days, his eyes were blank.
He had come back happily, wanting to tell his teacher the good news that he was admitted to the Noble Magic and Martial Arts Academy, but what he waited for was a sudden farewell.
This made him a little overwhelmed, and his excitement was completely dispersed.
"It seems that there is something he left there."
At this time, Dafik saw something on the grass in the distance.
Dirus' heart was shocked, and he ran over in a hurry. At a glance, he saw several yellow crystals and two black fruits lying there.
There were also a few big words engraved on the mound next to it.
"Study magic well."
The moment he saw these words, Dirus became excited again.
"It's the teacher! What the teacher left for me! Father, look!"
Dafik quickened his pace when he heard it, and when he saw the pile of things, he couldn't help but take a breath.
Elemental crystals, all elemental crystals, and unknown fruits, you can tell at a glance that they are very precious!
"Quick, put the things away first, don't let anyone see them."
The value of these elemental crystals alone is already many times more than his entire fortune. Even if he is calm, he was shocked.
In contrast.
Dirus is more concerned about the few words left by Rhode.
He clenched his fist quietly, and made up his mind in his heart that he must become the most powerful magician in the world.
...
On the other side.
Rhode, who left the village, has crossed the border and entered the gray land.
However, he did not continue to move forward, but looked at the white figure in front of him with a face full of astonishment.
"Xiaobai, why are you here?!"
Rhode widened his eyes, with a ghost expression, subconsciously looked at the environment he was in, and then looked at the little white spider standing in front of him with his head tilted.
No.
This is another plane!
Are you sure you didn't go to the wrong set?
If it weren't for his magic puppet body, Rhode almost thought he was dreaming, but in fact he was still in the dream forest.
? ? ?
Xiaobai looked innocent, and didn't seem to understand why he was in such a place.
But when he saw Rhode, he happily pounced on him and rubbed against him.
That real touch was definitely not a dream!
Swish!
Rhode regained consciousness and appeared on the Moon Goddess Altar.
He looked around and found that the little things were surrounding the Dream Weaver statue, babbling non-stop, and immediately stood up and walked over.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Ah ah ah!"
"Ga ga!"
"Roar!"
Seeing Rhode coming, the little guys immediately pointed at the statue desperately, and then pointed at themselves, as if saying something.
Until...
Swish!
The space fluctuated, and Xiaobai appeared on the altar again, and the entire altar fell silent in an instant.
After a while.
Rhode reacted and asked in shock: "Xiaobai, can you travel through dimensions?"
This time he was really shocked.
Because even Augla and the others could only project their consciousness and condense their souls, but Xiaobai entered that plane directly as his original body, which was incredible!
This...
Did he inherit the ability of the Dreamweaver?
But it's only the first level!
Hmm?
Wait a minute.
"When did you reach the first level?"
Rhodes stared at Xiaobai blankly, and he was indeed a circle bigger than before.
He was only born a few days ago, but he reached the first level so quickly and also comprehended the ability to travel through planes.
Is it because the Dreamweaver weaves dreams and has stronger mental power?
Or is it because the plane itself is related to the Dreamweaver?
Thinking of this, Rhodes hurriedly asked: "Xiaobai, can you take the others with you?"
Xiaobai tilted his head and thought for a while, then stretched out his forelimbs and pointed at the small things next to him, even including the huge Kaba.
This made him even more happy, and he hurriedly pointed at himself.
"What about me? Can you send my body over as well?"
However, what he didn't expect was that this time Xiaobai answered very straightforwardly, shaking his head directly, indicating that he couldn't do it.
"..."
No.
Is it really okay for you to treat me differently like this?
Why can they go but I can't when we are all level three?
Rhode's face fell, and the hope that had just been ignited was instantly extinguished.
"It should be because your soul purity is too high."
At this time, Irene came over from a distance.
She already knew what Rhode had been doing recently, and naturally knew the difficulty of crossing the plane, especially from the spiritual plane to the material plane.
Rhode certainly understood this, and finally had to sigh helplessly and asked: "Do you have anything else to ask me? Is there something wrong outside?"
"Almost." Irene's face became serious, "Aina and the others just sent back news that the people in Liberty City seem to have contacted the Undead in the material plane and are trying to open up the plane channel."
"Undead?"
Rhode's eyes moved slightly.
For some reason, the first thing he thought of was the Undead Clan fighting the Spider Clan on the Gray Border.
They seemed to have chosen to cease fire in the past few days. Could it be related to this incident?
If that was the case, he had to speed up and reach the Spider Kingdom to investigate.
