Maeyd didn’t know when to expect the notification of Mr Bug’s would come and didn’t expect it to come so quickly. He was only slow by the few seconds and 5 Rank 2 and Rank 3 Bookworms had already been bought, not wasting another second, he bought all the Rank 1 Bookworms and bought them without checking the price.
After seeing the amount of money he’d just spent, Maeyd wanted to cry but then his magic ring notified him of additional information provided by Mr Bug. Reading this information, he finally heaved a sigh of relief and was even proud to have bought all the Rank 1 Bookworms.
’With so many Bookworms, I can even grow one into a Rank 4 Bookworm, the only problem is that it’ll take a lot of time.’ thought Maeyd but then put it on the back of his mind, he had better things to do.
"Hahaha, with so many Bookworms, I’m finally going to master the language of ancients and soar to highest mountain peak. My little treasures, start eating." said Maeyd with excitement and took out Bookworms to start eating.
A few days later, Maeyd had finally assimilated all the Bookworms and completely understood the language of old which was called the Nesskard Language used by the Shadow and Dark Ones, the original language of the Elves before the coup.
[Unn ak Mryd Van Zch, n lst pttor!] said Maeyd in the Nesskard Language and immediately, the dark cave became even darker as what seemed to be Inscriptions appeared on Maeyd’s body that came together to form a tatoo of a large and tall tree with green, lush and healthy leaves. On the tree branches, tiny humanoid creatures were playing.
On the ground was the shadow of the tree but the shadow was completely different from the live tree. The tree’s shadow was in the form of a dead tree with not even a single leaf on the branches, instead, crows, vultures, ravens, bats, etc, all perched on the tree branches to create an image of a lush and flourishing tree. And the bark of the shadow tree had lines that looked like the Inspections that had come together to create this tattoo.
Sitting under the shade of the tree was a humanoid being with long and pointed ears, hair as dark as night, eyes that could swallow all light around them and a tatoo of the two trees on his neck and chest. With a skin colour that was grey like ash and wearing only a garment made from leaves that covered the private parts. Just resisting there, that humanoid creature fit perfect into the shade of the black tree provided by the lush green tree.
Maeyd’s shadow then rose up from the ground and overlapped with his body, changing his skin colour from green to ash grey and his eyes were as dark as the abyss, completely devoid of any colour other than black. His strength also advanced by an entire two Star Stage. Initially, he was a One Star High Mage but was now a Three Star High Mage, just a step away from becoming a Four Star Low Mage.
"Hahaha! This Language is really powerful, I wonder why the Elves chose to abandon it and create a new Elven Language that’s much weaker. No need to dwell too much on these questions, soon, I’ll get all the answers to my questions. Now, it’s time for me to leave this cave and visit the goblin village where this village comes from. If what I saw from its memories is really there, then I’ve stumbled upon a great opportunity that’s truly rare in the world."
Zixin went back to the Guild Market but this time, his head was held high and very proud. The worker that welcomed him wasn’t the same one from a month ago.
"I want all Rank 1 to Rank 3 Woodworms and a hundred Rank 4 Wisdom Wood."
"All of them?!" exclaimed the worker.
"All of them! I don’t like to repeat myself so hurry up!" said Zixin as he gave the worker his card and the worker involuntarily took it.
"That will be a total of 568 million GP." said the worker but Zixin didn’t say anything and just tapped the card and the payment went through.
"Also, I want all your Pseudo Rank 1 plants, herbs and trees, three hundred Sky King cores, a hundred cores of the fastest land, sea or sky beasts, and thirty Insect Colonies with Colony Queens ruling them. I also want..." Zixin counted many things and in all, amounted to thirty million GP.
Zixin was now left with only two million GP. When he left the Guild Market, the manager had personally come to escort him out of the establishment.
Zixin opened the door and on his door, a fat man wearing luxuriant clothes stood outside his door with two attendants. The fat man and wearing many rings and had an amicable smile.
"Greetings Good Sir, are you perhaps Mr Xong?" asked the fat man.
"That’s me, what do you want?" asked Zixin with a neutral expression.
"We received your huge order from the Guild Market and have come to deliver." said the fat man.
"Ah, my stuff has finally arrived! Please come in, come in!" gestured Zixin and moved out of the way. After entering the apartment, Zixin actually had a tent set up inside the house. Zixin entered the tent and the fat man and his attendants followed him inside.
The space inside the tent was much larger than that of his apartment, it was around ten thousand cubic metres and was like another world. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥
"Please, put them here." said Zixin and the fat man nodded. He took out a parchment with a magic formation drawn on it and placed it on the floor. As soon as he did that, the parchment burned to ashes and the magic formation on it expanded and covered a whopping one kilometre radius.
[SUMMON!] commanded the fat man and the magic formation lit up and in a blink of an eye, there was a large number of Magical Beasts, Humans and other Races. All of them had chains on their necks with multiple magic formation infused into the chains.
"Mr Xong, here’s the control ring, just drip your blood on it and you’ll be able to control all your slaves." said the fat man and Zixin dripped his blood on the ring.
"Then we shall take our leave, thank you for your patronage."
"I’ll call you to come and collect your leashes. They look rather expensive and it would be a shame to throw them away." said Zixin without looking back. When the fat man heard these words, his eyes widened not in shock but fear as his steps quickened.
"No need to trouble you. You can throw them away if you don’t like them!" said the fat man before closing the door behind him.
