Trade

I lived alone for more than a year in a deserted Yellow Sand World.

When Saine heard another Willpower Voice he could communicate with, one can imagine how excited he was.

Of course, this is on the premise that the Willpower Voice causes him intense pain in his mind.

Looking back at the Jet-Black Passage he had come from, and realizing that he might have been lost in this Underground Space, Saine decided to follow the guidance of the Willpower Voice and continue deeper into the passage.

In fact, the grandeur of that Willpower Voice also signifies that Saine had no room for compromise or resistance.

The sound alone could cause him such a huge impact and pain; if that guy had intended to harm him, Saine should have collapsed long ago.

After traveling for about an hour, Saine arrived at a relatively open sand cave.

The surrounding darkness vanished.

The light comes not from the sunlight shining through the cracks in the sand, but from the yellow Energy Crystal embedded throughout this sand cave!

These are Energy Crystal beyond the limits of Saine's understanding. At least in his mentor Moxidu's laboratory, Saine has not yet seen any top-quality crystals comparable to these Energy Crystal.

The dazzling yellow light almost blinded Saine.

There are dozens of yellow Energy Crystal embedded in this sand cave.

"You want these Level-2 Energy Crystal?" The familiar Willpower Voice appeared again, but this time, the force was much weaker, and Saine didn't feel a splitting headache. →69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼

He couldn't help but look towards the source of the Willpower Voice, and then, Saine's body stiffened.

This is a giant insect with only half its body remaining, embedded in translucent yellow amber.

Although only half of its body remained, the opponent's length was still an astonishing nearly 100 meters.

The entire wall of the sand cave was covered by the curled-up body of this crippled giant worm.

The enormous fangs and the severed ends of the body sent chills down one's spine.

The sheer size and ferocious appearance of this behemoth sent chills down one's spine, yet its voice, Willpower Voice, was surprisingly amiable, as if it didn't mind giving these precious Level-2 Energy Crystal to Saine.

Faced with this question, which could very well be from the Sand Worm King, Saine lowered his head and fell silent.

In the Underdark, unequal strength means crushing and being crushed, and there is no possibility of equal communication.

Saine didn't think he had anything that made this terrifying Sand Worm King wary of him.

Although Saine fell silent, the Sand Worm King embedded in yellow amber did not stop speaking.

It then explained, "Energy Crystal are indeed the common currency in many planes of the Star Realm, and I believe your powerful Wizard Civilization is no exception."

"These Level-2 Energy Crystal are simply the Earth Elemental energy that evaporates from my body and is eventually condensed."

"It's an invaluable treasure to you, but it's practically useless to me."

"Judging from your life level, it seems you don't even have a level one?" the Sand Worm King continued.

Saine remained silent.

It wasn't that he was pretending to be aloof; he genuinely didn't know how to respond to this big guy in front of him.

Individuals who are not at the same Life Level sometimes find it incredibly difficult to even have a conversation or exchange with each other.

Because they have different perspectives, their angles of view and ways of thinking are vastly different.

Let alone Level-2 Energy Crystal, even Level-1 Energy Crystal was something that Saine had only touched a few times, having only seen it in his mentor's laboratory.

As for the first-level life level mentioned by the Sand Worm King, it should refer to the level of Formal Black Wizard such as Mentor Moxidu.

"You asked me to make a deal before, what deal?" After a long silence, Saine finally asked.

He didn't have mastered the skills of Mental Strength communication, so Saine used the Wizard World language.

Fortunately, this mysterious giant insect can understand what Saine is saying.

This question from Saine was also an attempt to find out his strengths, or what he relied on.

What is it about this mysterious and powerful worm that requires Saine's help?

A trade? Since it's a trade, there must be a way that will involve Saine.

As a Spellcaster, Saine didn't want to be manipulated by others; he had to at least regain some control.

Faced with Saine's question, the big bug fell silent for a moment.

After a long while, the giant worm slowly said, "I accidentally entered your Wizard World through Time-Space Rift."

"An otherworldly being. In the Star Realm hierarchy of power, I belong to Level-4 lifeform."

"Perhaps the guardian of your Wizard World misunderstood me. She drove me away and abandoned me in this Broken Plane."

"What I want to do in exchange for is that you convey my goodwill to your Wizard Civilization on my behalf."

"I've heard that your Wizard Civilization has established Wizard Alliance. Hmm, I'd like to join the Wizard Alliance," the giant worm, now only half its body remaining, replied.

By observing its remaining half-body, it's not hard to guess that the guardians of the Wizard World must have used rather harsh methods to drive it away.

"In return, I can give you all these Level-2 Energy Crystal."

"And it seems you've been looking for your way back? I can also point you to the approximate area where that Space Channel was located," the Sand Worm King said.

This Sand Worm King had clearly been paying attention to Saine for a long time; it even knew that Saine was looking for a way back to the Wizard World.

However, the Wizard Alliance and the Guardians were beyond Saine's ability and understanding.

He did know a little about the Wizard Alliance; it was just a few words that Saine had found in a Magic Books.

For example, the Centaur Plane he had seen in the book before seemed to be one of the Member Planes of the Wizard Alliance.

As for the Guardians... what exactly are they?

Saine seemed to have overheard two Level-3 Peak Mage from the other side of the Space Channel mentioning it during their battle that day, but this was definitely beyond Saine's capabilities.

However, Saine did not remain silent.

The Level-2 Energy Crystal were secondary; what truly attracted him was the Sand Worm King's offer to point him to the approximate area of that Space Channel, which was crucial for Saine's return to the Wizard World!

"How can I help you?" Saine asked.

With a life level that's less than level one, it's clearly impossible for Saine to have access to many of the Wizard World's secrets and high-level matters.

The Sand Worm King clearly realized this as well. After a moment's thought, it continued, "You can try to contact a certain Holy Tower organization in your Wizard World and inform them of my situation."

"As long as there is a Holy Tower Master willing to make an introduction, my misunderstanding with your Wizard Civilization and my joining the Wizard Alliance will most likely be possible," the Sand Worm King replied.
