Chapter 0711 Return to Shadow Island
Faen plane, Shadow Island.
Shadow Island, which had been silent for a while, became prosperous and noisy again.
Ships full of cargoes were docked at the port in the western part of the island. Under the supervision of supervisors, a large number of foreign coolies were busy carrying boxes of heavy goods out of the cabin and sending them to the tall and solid stone warehouses near the coastline.
Since the outbreak of the witch disaster, such a prosperous scene has never stopped.
The spoils transported back from the Farn Continent and the Jialan Continent almost filled all the warehouses outside the Shadow Island. Even some warehouses near the core area of the island had to be vacated to store or imprison the looted wealth or slaves.
As the war went smoothly, the witches who went to the Farn Continent even joined forces to break through a small principality near the sea, and then won over some nearby wandering nobles and thieves to form a weird "Witch Alliance".
Now, no matter what, the war led by the pale witch has completely established a foothold in the Farn Continent. Even if the witch disaster is over, it will be much more difficult for the inherent forces of the continent to drive them out than in the past.
It is precisely because of the huge harvest of the witches this time that it is natural to attract all the large chambers of commerce and slave traders in the entire Farn continent. Of course, those well-known chambers of commerce have to consider their reputation, so they send some dark agents who are privately controlled by themselves.
In general, the pale witches and others have the most abundant harvests from this witch disaster!
Although the Jialan continent has not made much breakthrough, it has also been turned upside down and embarrassed by the witches.
Not to mention anything else, the nearly one million undead souls that emerged from the death mark in the central part of the Jialan continent alone have caused nearly 200,000 civilian losses to the forest elves. Although the Elf Kingdom has dispatched elite legions and a large number of strong men, they have strangled these undead souls.
However, the magic forest that has been ravaged by the undead has been seriously injured. It will probably take at least nearly a hundred years to recover.
Moreover, the Dark Witch and the Fate Witch, who had completed their tasks in excess, also destroyed the Pegasus Magic Spring and Dragon Cliff of the Elf Kingdom. According to the report of the Dark Witches stationed in the Echo Islands, the Elf Kingdom will lose the Pegasus, a strange magical beast, forever.
In addition, the forest dragons that had been living peacefully at Dragon Cliff also split, and about 1/3 of the green dragons and emerald dragons were abducted by a thunder dragon that came across the border.
This... Such a thing can happen. To be honest, it is really beyond everyone and the dragon's expectations!
From the beginning of the war to now, 6 months have passed, and it is time for the witch disaster to come to an end. So those witches who have completed their tasks or are in urgent need of rest have returned to the Shadow Island one after another and began to gather here.
According to the agreement, the pale witches will open the plane door again in the eighth month after the witch disaster begins to send everyone back to the wizard world. So even if the dark witches and the fate witches complete their tasks ahead of time, they must stay in the Shadow Island for two more months.
The dark witches who returned to Shadow Island before the Witch of Fate met up with their companions who had just resurrected from the psychic pool on the island, and immediately became powerful again. The witches of other factions who returned from the Farn Continent to rest were excited to see the prey, and they hired them as thugs at high prices to fight again before the witch disaster ended.
Therefore, the dark witches did not stay on the island for a few days, and they joined the teams of different witch factions and boarded the ships to the Farn Continent.
…………
Grimm and his party finally arrived at Shadow Island smoothly.
The last time they left, they left in a swaggering giant floating ship. But this time, they returned, but they were obviously much more low-key, and they returned to Shadow Island on a ship carrying slaves.
They stepped on the swaying gangplank to get off the smelly and dirty ship, and as soon as they stepped onto the stone dock, a group of supervisors and slaves surrounded them. However, when the slaves saw the eye-catching wizard robes on the group of people, they all scattered to the sides, not daring to block the way of the wizard masters.
A witch in charge of managing the dock hurried over, and when she saw Grimm and Alice in the lead, she bowed and saluted.
"Welcome to Shadow Island, Master Alice, please follow me!"
As the territory of the pale witches, Shadow Island has strictly divided fixed class territories.
The 20 to 30 kilometers of the central area of the inner island belongs to the wizard area, and only wizards and those they recognize can enter and exit freely.
Ordinary outsiders cannot get close to there!
The periphery of the central area is divided into four distinct areas: east, west, south and north.
The west area is the port area, which is mainly responsible for loading and unloading goods and transit warehouses; the north area is the trade area, where all businesses have stalls or auction houses; the east area is the magic area, which is responsible for selling equipment or items related to supernatural powers; the south area is the slave area, where large-scale slave auctions are held almost every day...
So Grimm and his party, led by the little witch, crossed the noisy docks and walked through the crowded warehouses until they walked nearly ten miles along a gray and white stone path into the island before arriving at the entrance of the wizard area.
The periphery of the wizard area is full of various bloodthirsty magic strains and terrible monsters. Only some small entrances and exits are opened in several special directions, and then guarded by witches and witch beasts.
In this way, even if the enemy sneaks into the Shadow Island, it is extremely difficult to sneak into the wizard area!
At the entrance, the witch on duty used a strange crystal to illuminate Grimm and his party, and only let them into the wizard area after confirming everyone's identity.
And here, they can move freely and are no longer subject to any restrictions!
The price paid by Grimm and others for this trip to the Jialan Continent is not small, but the gains are equally huge.
In terms of personnel, the fate witch sent a total of eight people with Alice, but only four people were able to return to the Shadow Island alive. Fortunately, Alice successfully advanced to the second level, and the imminent life worries disappeared completely.
With the basic life of 300-500 years for a second-level wizard, Alice has plenty of time to slowly comprehend and experience the invisible benefits brought to her by the prophecy scepter.
As for Grimm, the loss is a bit huge!
First of all, there is the loss of personnel. The poisonous woman Endo and the three-headed demon dog Angujia were both lost in the Jialan Continent. Mary lost a blood knight, but gained seven blood elves, and the strength increased instead of decreased. The insect wizard Bilis is still trapped near Green Water City. Although he is safe for the time being, it will be difficult for him to return smoothly in a short time.
The second is the loss of materials, which is huge.
The biggest loss is of course the floating giant ship, as well as the hundreds of metal magic machines and half a hundred goblin technicians and engineers on board.
Of course, these losses can be made up through the goblin plane. However, the self-destructing space furnace is one less ship. Before finding the right magic alloy, Grimm cannot build more similar warships.
The only magic machine warrior that has just been formed is the tearer driven by the goblin Tigule, and another pseudo-second-level goblin was destroyed in the battle of the dragon cave, which makes people feel extremely regretful.
The total value of these things is more than one million magic crystals. It is difficult to make up for this loss by just relying on the forest elves that were looted, even if they are all sold at sky-high prices.
Fortunately, this battle in the other plane also allowed the Crimson Family and the Fate Witches to have in-depth exchanges and interactions. If you look at it from the side, the Fate Witches finally got their positions right and showed signs of integration with the Crimson Family.
This... is undoubtedly Grimm's biggest gain from this trip!
A Level 2 Fate Witch who has lost the shackles of vitality and can be fully trusted... Perhaps only Grimm can clearly realize that he has gained too much this time.
In the past history of the Northland Witches, the Fate Witches are like their "eyes" to explore and observe the outside world, shouldering the historical mission of insight, guidance and insight!
Almost all the Fate Witches do not have too strong military power, and can only survive by relying on the protection of other witch sisters. So their status in the witch camp is actually very transcendent.
Now, Grimm actually pulled Alice into his camp halfway. Then in the foreseeable future, the Crimson Family will have no worries and usher in a huge opportunity for development.
After settling down in the wizard tower of Shadow Island, all the Crimson family wizards were free. As a reward for this battle, each wizard was given ten to thirty elven slaves and magic gems weighed in kilograms.
Of course, more important is the knowledge of the other world seized from the Jialan continent!
The forest elves also have two major spellcaster systems: elven wizards and druids. Although the core of their systems revolves around divine arts, it still has a lot of reference and research value for wizards who are also spellcasters.
As the spoils of the family's life and death, all the Crimson wizards and fate witches who participated in the battle also received a copy of the knowledge crystal. And its significance is much more valuable than those elven slaves and magic gems!
Anyway, it will take two months before the plane door will be opened again, so some family wizards who can't sit still are also invited to join the team to the Farn continent with the fate witch.
There, the witches of various factions were having a great time fighting with the natives of the Farn Continent. They could just catch up with the harvest season, and maybe they could get some extra money back then.
Therefore, under the leadership of Mary, the wind witch Desela, Medusa Dana, the goblin Tigule and others all went to the Farn Continent again. Only the dragon man Zacha still maintained an attitude of not being interested in anything, and guarded Grimm loyally.
Grimm took the opportunity to stay in Shadow Island, sort out the harvest of this trip, auction it, and then take the opportunity to collect some special resources of the Farn plane.
After all, although many resources from other worlds can be collected in the wizard world, the price... is simply outrageous!
