Chapter 199 Is it really okay for you to treat me differently like this?
"This...I picked this up by accident."

Dilus spoke hesitantly, and it was obvious that he was a child who seldom lied.

The manager of the caravan wanted to say something, but Dafik at the side spoke first: "How many magic stones do you want to exchange for this thing?"

These words seemed to be addressed to Dilus, but also to the manager of the caravan.

The manager had been in business for so many years that he naturally understood what he meant. He did not ask any more questions, but smiled and said, "This thing is a scarce commodity now. If you trust me, I can exchange it for 500 magic stones for you."

five hundred!

Dafik was surprised to hear this number, and the butler beside him also swallowed his saliva.

Five hundred magic stones are enough for their territory's harvest for several years.

Just this palm-sized piece of elemental crystal?

For an instant.

Dafik thought a lot.

He didn't think that such a valuable thing could be picked up easily, and there would be no such thing in his manor.

Then there is only one explanation, that it was given to him by someone else!

Thinking about the fact that his son often ran to the backyard during this period, Dafik finally had a guess in his mind.

"Okay, let's switch!"

"Pleasant to work with."

The caravan manager secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew clearly the value of elemental crystals, especially this kind of life crystal.

Once it is brought into the aristocratic circles of other prosperous provinces, it will definitely drive countless people crazy.

Although the five hundred magic stones were a bit painful for him, it was worth it because everyone knows that things are valuable because they are rare.

As for the source of the things, he didn't care too much. It's not good to ask too many questions about some things. Whoever has good goods will be welcomed with a smile. This is also their principle as businessmen.

"If you have any good stuff like this in the future, Lord Dafik, please give it to me first."

The steward found that he had underestimated the little border noble in front of him. A smile appeared on his face and his attitude was much more enthusiastic than before.

"Okay, okay. Then I'll trouble the steward to deliver the magic stone to my manor."

Dafik was not worried that the other party would run away with the things. After handing the elemental crystal to the steward, he hurried away with Dirus, as if there was something urgent.

After they walked away, a robed wizard from the caravan approached.

"Butler, I found something strange. The concentration of magical elements here seems to be much higher than before."

"sure?"

"Sure. I just went out to check. There's nothing changed outside, but the area around the village is many times denser. I suspect... there's a high-level magician here."

"really."

The manager's face suddenly realized what was going on, and it was pretty much what he had guessed.

This Green family must have received guidance from some expert.

I can easily take out a piece of elemental crystal. It seems that I need to come here more often in the future.

Thinking of this, he looked at the people who were preparing the goods and said, "Go, prepare an extra hundred magic stones and send them to the manor. Say they are free gifts from us."

"receive."

Without giving it much thought, they took the 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 guessed what was going on. However, he did not bother Rhode rashly. Instead, he told his son:
"If you encounter this kind of thing next time, just say that it was your father who asked you to do it, or just come to your father directly. Go ahead, I'll have someone deliver the magic stone to you."

As he said this, he glanced towards the backyard meaningfully.

"Okay father."

Dilus seemed to understand what was going on and 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 nearby, and would come over from time to time to ask questions, appearing to be very hardworking.

As for Dafik, he got up early and went to bed late every day, running around to buy magic stones, preparing to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

The days in the manor gradually became peaceful.

……

Two days later.

In the backyard of the manor.

"It's done!"

Rhodes looked at the humanoid puppet in front of him with surprise.

Although it is a bit rough, it does not affect the operation of magic power. It can easily carry his consciousness and bring out his full strength.

From now on, I won’t have to occupy this awkward body of the spider demon anymore.

"Shasha~"

A faint spiritual message came.

After this period of repair, the little spider demon's soul was basically repaired and it was 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 go back to the tribe?"

The little spider demon was abandoned by his tribe because his soul was defective at birth.

Now that his soul has recovered and turned into a normal spider demon, he will definitely not be abandoned by his tribe members again.

"Shasha~"

as predicted.

At the mention of returning to the tribe, the little spider demon's soul was filled with joy, without any hatred for being abandoned.

But that’s fine too.

After returning to the tribe, its safety is at least guaranteed. Rhodes no longer needs to worry about it running around and being killed by black-hearted adventurers. He can also get in touch with the spider demon tribe 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 kingdom is, after all, the gray border is so vast.

If he accidentally broke into the territory of the Undead, wouldn't he, a member of the natural camp, be caught 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 you don't know."

Rhodes felt helpless. He thought the spider demon would leave behind some pheromones or something like that to help it identify directions, like ants do.

Since this doesn't work here, we can only look for local residents.

I heard that there was a ceasefire between the two sides recently, and many adventure teams and caravans came, all planning to go to the countries of the spider demons and the undead to do business. He could totally follow those teams.

"Okay, it's decided!"

Seeing that there was no one around, Rhodes quickly stood up and transferred his mental consciousness to the magic puppet in front of him.

After trying it, the movement was quite smooth and I finally 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 a burst of laughter from Rhodes.

After it finally adapted to the body, Rhodes stopped smiling and looked at the familiar manor.

"After staying 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 down here so quickly. He had to express his gratitude to them.

Thinking of this, Rhodes calmed down, put a few things on the grass where he usually liked to stay, and looked back in the direction of the manor.

"Let's go, I'll take you home first."

"Rustle~" After saying that, they left the backyard and headed towards the gray border.

By the time Dafik and his son rushed back from outside and arrived at the backyard, they were no longer visible.

"Is he really gone?"

Looking at the empty backyard, Dafik sighed, but was not surprised at all.

In fact, from the first time Rhodes used magic, he guessed that this spider demon was not simple.

Later, his son's miraculous understanding of magic and various things that happened afterwards made him more certain of his guess.

Looking back now, what happened during this period was so bizarre and incredible.

And it all started with just a piece of ordinary jerky and a good thought.

"Teacher, he...left?"

Dilus stared blankly at the place where Rhodes taught him magic these days, his eyes dazed.

He had come back in high spirits, wanting to tell his teacher the good news that he had been admitted to the Noble Magic and Martial Arts Academy, but what he waited for was a sudden farewell.

This made him feel a little overwhelmed, and his excitement was completely dissipated.

"There seems to be something he left there."

At this moment, Dafik noticed something on the grass in the distance.

Dirus' heart was shocked and he ran over quickly. He saw several yellow crystals and two black fruits lying there.

There were a few large characters carved on the mound next to it.

"Study magic well."

The moment he saw these words, Dilus became excited again.

"It's the teacher! It's something the teacher left for me! Dad, look!"

Dafik quickened his pace upon hearing that, and when he saw the pile of things, he couldn't help but gasp.

Elemental crystals, they are all elemental crystals, and there are also 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 exceeded his entire net worth many times over. Even though he was very calm, he was still shocked.

In contrast.

Instead, Dilus was more concerned about the few words Rhodes left behind.

He clenched his fists quietly and made up his mind to become the most powerful magician in the world.

……

the other side.

Rhodes, who had left the village, had already crossed the border and gone deep into the gray land.

However, he did not continue to move forward. Instead, he looked at the white figure that appeared in front of him with a look of astonishment.

"Xiaobai, why are you here?!"

Rhodes' eyes widened with a look of astonishment. He subconsciously looked at the environment he was in, and then looked at the little white spider standing in front of him with its head tilted.

No.

This is another dimension!

Are you sure you're on the right set?
If it weren't for his magic puppet body, Rhodes almost thought he was dreaming. 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 it saw Rhodes, it happily pounced on him and rubbed against him.

That real touch is definitely not a dream!

Swish!
Rhodes regained consciousness and appeared on the Moon Goddess altar.

He looked around and found that the little creatures were surrounding the statue of the Dream Weaver, babbling non-stop. He immediately stood up and walked over.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Yeah ah!"

"quack!"

"Roar!"

Seeing Rhodes coming over, the little guys immediately pointed at the statue desperately, and then pointed at themselves, as if they were saying something.

until……

Swish!
The space fluctuated, and Xiaobai appeared on the altar again. In an instant, the entire altar fell silent.

A good while.

Rhode finally 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 could directly enter that dimension in his original form, which was simply unbelievable!
This……

Could it be that he inherited the ability of the Dream Weaver?
But it's only the first level!

Ok?
Wait a moment.

"When did you become a first-level player?"

Rhodes stared at Xiaobai blankly. It was indeed a size bigger than before.

He was born only a few days ago, but he has reached the first level so quickly and has also mastered the ability to travel through dimensions.

Is it because the dream weaver who weaves dreams has stronger mental power?

Or is it because that plane itself is related to the Dream Weaver?

Thinking of this, Rhodes quickly asked: "Xiaobai, can you take the others with you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai tilted his head and thought for a while, then stretched out his forelimbs and pointed at the small things next to him, even the huge Kaba was included.

This made him even happier and he quickly pointed at himself.

"What about me? Can you send my real body over as well?"

However, what he didn't expect was that this time Xiaobai answered very straightforwardly. He just shook his head and indicated that he couldn't do it.

"..."

No.

Is it really okay for you to treat people differently like this?
Why are they all at level three, but they can pass but I can’t?

Rhodes's face fell, and the hope that had just ignited was instantly extinguished.

"It's probably because your soul is too pure."

At this time, Yilin came over from a distance.

She already knew what Rhodes had been doing recently, so she was naturally aware of the difficulty of crossing planes, especially entering the material plane from the spiritual plane.

Rhode certainly understood this, and finally he could only sigh helplessly and asked, "Do you have anything else to talk to me about? Did something go wrong outside?"

"That's about right." Erin's face turned serious. "Aina and the others just sent back news that the people in Liberty City seem to have made contact with the Undead in the material plane and are trying to find a way to open up a channel between the planes."

"Undead?"

Rhodes' eyes moved slightly.

For some reason, the first thing he thought of was the Undead who were fighting with the Spider Demons on the gray border.

They also seemed to have chosen to take a truce during these few days. Could it be related to this incident?
If this is true, then he needs to speed up and reach the Spider Demon Kingdom as soon as possible to investigate thoroughly.
