Chapter 353 Raised Prices
In the research institute in the Forbidden Forest Swamp, Locke used the Druid's Ring to open a magic door in front of him. Suddenly, the magic door revealed a half-plane hidden behind it.
I saw that the demiplane occupies an extremely wide area and is far away from the boundary. At its edge, there are many dense space fogs like light mist.
Although Locke has not studied space science much, he has read about that kind of fog from the Everything Class and some articles. It is the unique space fog of the demiplane.
Because the demiplane is the prototype of the plane, but its scale is too small to generate the power of the plane, so it cannot form a plane barrier, so it can only wrap itself in the mist of space.
Space fog is extremely dangerous. If you can avoid contact with it, don’t contact it.
The outside of the fog of space is even more dangerous. It is the void. Even a second-level wizard cannot survive in the void with his physical body.
Locke stepped through the magic door and walked into it, while the magic door behind him remained open at all times.
This is the Druid's Ring solidifying the magic door.
In the process of using the Druid's Ring to open the door to the demiplane space, the magic door cannot be closed. It can only be opened for a long time until you return to the main plane, and then you can close it.
Locke glanced around and found that this demiplane was about 1 square kilometer in size, and the entire interior was plain fertile soil that could be made into magic fields, so it could be equal to 1,500 acres of fields.
And 1,500 acres of land is equivalent to the area of a large plantation.
In other words, holding this ring is equivalent to walking around with a large plantation.
There is a sun in the sky above the demiplane. Locke observed it and found that it was just refracting the sun's rays from the main material plane and borrowing the sunlight from the main material plane.
In addition, there is also a water circulation and energy circulation system made by alchemists, which can simulate the real world to the greatest extent.
Locke nodded with satisfaction, "As expected of a wizard of botany and breeding, a coveted treasure, the Druid's Ring. Not bad."
Locke turned around and ordered the golems in the laboratory's constant temperature room to begin moving his forest sanctuary inside.
This process takes about a week for safety reasons.
A week later, the Forest Sanctuary and the remaining four plantain forests have all moved into the Druid's Ring.
The banana forest and sea are all perennial herbaceous plants, so they are also green manure plants that can provide ether element particles. Therefore, when combined with the forest sanctuary, it is not only a waste utilization, but also a strengthening of your own forest sanctuary.
In this way, the area of my forest sanctuary has reached 30 acres, and the total biomass has accumulated to a considerable extent.
"The forest sanctuary can be re-transplanted into three trees and one ring of arbor-like magic plants, and once again inscribed with a permanent defensive magic." Locke thought. "In addition, I need to inject magic resources into the Druid's Ring to maintain the internal nutrient cycle."
"A rough calculation shows that we currently need about 5,000 magic stones per month."
The reason why I did not need to purchase resources to nourish the soil before was because there were still some resources left in the institute, and the infrastructure was still running. Several major internal circulation systems were still running well, but the resources left before had been spent now.
Lock thought for a while, and began to instruct the golems to dismantle some of the facilities that could still be used in the institute, and move ten dwarf-looking golems into the Druid Ring.
You have to pack it up and take it away.
These ten golems, if purchased from the alchemy workshop, would definitely cost tens of thousands of magic stones.
After all, the dwarf alchemist Tyne was planning to sell himself a clay golem for 1,200 magic stones last time.
Locke thought: "In addition, I also need to buy enough hive consciousness potions as soon as possible. I remember that hive consciousness potions are a specialty of the southeast corner. You can't buy them elsewhere."
Loke frowned. "What, don't you have a ring of magic plants in your store?"
The store manager Youli has now regained her youth, with bright eyes and bright teeth. After regaining her youth, she actually looks pretty good.
Manager Yuli nodded to Locke and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Locke, that's true."
“The most valuable treasures of Lijin Secret Language have all been bought by the top management of the academy. Not only that, the prices of all the combat magic plants in Lijin Secret Language have increased by 30%, but the prices of magic plants that have nothing to do with combat have all dropped.”
"Moreover, many combat magic plants, even those at the apprentice level, have been sold out. Including your Augustus series of magic plants."
Locke frowned, not expecting that prices would rise to this level in just over half a year.
Although I shouldn't say anything more about this matter.
After all, he can be regarded as someone who made a war fortune in the southeast corner through his cooperation with Mrs. Irina.
Yuri secretly whispered to Locke: "Senior Locke, not only Li Jin's secret language, but also Mrs. Irina's shop is basically like this. Even if you want to buy a ring of magic plants, the price of that ring of magic plants is already more than twice the usual price."
Locke nodded slightly. "I understand, thank you, Yuli."
· The store manager Yuli smiled in a low voice: "I should thank you, Senior Lock. Thank you for giving me a second life."
· "I will cherish it."
· Locke nodded, said a few words casually, turned around and left Lijin Secret Words.
…
In the germplasm bank of Lilith's cabin, the wood elf Ruby apologized to Locke and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Locke, even if you want to use magic stones to buy a ring of arbor-type magic plants, it's impossible now. The academy has banned all external transactions."
Locke nodded. "I can't blame you."
Locke left the seed bank and did not go to the library. After all, it should be the same when he came to the library.
After more than half a year, the war in the southeast corner has intensified, and prices continue to rise.
Lilith Cabin also began to restrict wizards from exchanging rare resources from the academy's inventory and began to prepare for war.
I should really leave. If I continue to stay here, I will be involved in the war sooner or later.
· During a previous gathering with fellow disciples, I even heard the green witch Christine say that the White Wizard Association was considering recruiting wizards to some small wizard organizations.
This is a right that the White Wizard Association has not used in the southeast corner for hundreds of years.
Hence, you'd better leave quickly and don't get involved in this war.
…
During another small-scale gathering of fellow disciples, Locke spoke to the fellow disciples or their phantoms who came to participate in the living room where the gathering was, "That's about it. I need to trade three Yunhai Mist Pines and as many hive consciousness potions as possible."
"If everyone has it, I hope the transaction can be completed as soon as possible. I'm still in a hurry."
Among the fellow sects, an official wizard smiled and said: "Locke, fellow sects should really help each other more. But the colony consciousness potion is a specialty of the southeast corner region."
"Now that the prices in the southeast corner are skyrocketing, I guess it will be difficult for you to obtain the hive consciousness potion. Some people are still waiting for prices to rise again before taking action."
The phantom of Wizard Anthony took a sip of tomato juice and said: "Yes, I heard that the prices of these commodities are rising rapidly. It is because some official wizards are joining forces to speculate on commodity prices. A specialty such as the colony consciousness potion must be a key item to be speculated. Locke, I advise you to give up."
Locke's face is not very good-looking. Unexpectedly, he met a group of people who are better at making war fortunes than himself.
Sure enough, the strangely rising price rate is indeed very abnormal.
But I really need the hive consciousness potion. If I want to expand my forest sanctuary, I also need to use the hive consciousness potion to expand my spiritual energy pool.
Green Witch Christine suddenly spoke. "Locke, I do have a batch of hive consciousness potions in my hand."
"It's a set of hive consciousness potions I bought before, but how many do you want?"
Locke nodded to Christine Witch and smiled: "The more, the better."
Christine Witch looked thoughtful. "That's it."
"Yes, yes, but as a trade, you have to do me a favor."
