Fantasy journey to the heavens

Chapter 103 Market
"Is it?"

Katim's vision changed slightly: "Are there many mark owners?"

"That's not much."

The young apprentice said: "It is not that easy to awaken the nightmare mark at present. Unless the soul itself is very strong, other people who try to awaken may fail."

"It's just that the owner of the mark often takes the initiative to spread the nightmare aura to encourage others to awaken the nightmare mark."

"Why is that?"

Katim was puzzled: "Is it good for others to awaken the mark?"

"Of course there are benefits."

The female apprentice said: "Sir, you must have been in this nightmare space for a while. Do you know that the monsters here can be hunted?"

Katim nodded to show that he understood.

"In the nightmare space, all creatures can be hunted, but only between mark owners."

The female apprentice explained: "This seems to be the rule of this space itself, which prevents mark owners from plundering each other in this space. Even if someone kills other apprentices, they cannot obtain the soul power of other apprentices. "

Katim slowly understood.

He was still curious before, why did the two people in front of him dare to be in contact with him for so long and were not afraid at all?
Emotions are in this space, and mark owners cannot rob each other.

Even if you die, you won't die immediately, it will just be the incomplete part of your soul. Although the consequences are serious, it is far better than dying directly.

No wonder.

"But if you are outside, the situation is different."

The young apprentice continued: "If you are in the outside world and use the nightmare mark, you can directly rob other people's soul power through a series of complex processes."

"Even the mark owners themselves are the best prey for each other"

Katim gradually understood.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of the operating mechanism of this mark.

In this space, the mark will serve as a refuge for the mark owner, preventing others from plundering the soul power of the mark owner.

But if you are outside, the situation is completely opposite.

Mark owners can rob each other.

By directly seizing the nightmare mark on the opponent, you can complete the plunder of the entire soul.

The efficiency of this method is very good.

Because they are both intelligent beings, the mark owners devouring each other will not have a great impact on consciousness, at least it is much stronger than directly plundering monsters in this space.

It is for this reason that mark owners often take the initiative to spread the aura of nightmares around to awaken others to the nightmare mark.

Once others awaken the mark, they will take action and swallow these people directly.

Katim couldn't help but frown.

He finally understood why Donnie was so obsessed with him.

The other party probably thought that he had awakened the mark, so he regarded him as prey.

After all, from the outside, the soul of Katim, who has excellent qualifications, must be powerful. Coupled with his strength as a first-level apprentice, he is undoubtedly the best target.

As long as you swallow one of them, you may be able to save a lot of effort.

"I see."

Katim nodded silently, understanding more about the mechanism of how this space operates.

"You spoke very well."

He took something out of his arms.

They were two small golden crystals that he had obtained from monsters before, and they contained pure soul power.

For Katim, this thing can only be used as a supplement, but for the two people in front of him, this thing should have a certain value.

Sure enough, when the two apprentices in front of him saw this, their faces suddenly showed ecstasy.

"Thank you sir."

They carefully accepted the crystal, but did not choose to absorb it, but placed it on their bodies.

"I collected some of this stuff."

Katim watched their movements and couldn't help but ask: "Besides directly replenishing souls, what other uses does this thing have?"

"some."

The young apprentice nodded and said: "There are many safe spots with few monsters nearby, and many wizards will gather in them."

"Because mark owners cannot devour each other in this space, everyone will trade some things in that market."

"These are the crystal nuclei that contain pure souls, so they are the currency used in transactions."

"assembly?"

Katim became interested.

He asked the two apprentices in front of him to take him over to have a look.

The two readily agreed.

After getting Katim's crystal, they became more active and took Katim directly to the front.

After a while, an empty area appeared.

There are also tombs there, with tombstones everywhere, giving off a gloomy and cold style.

However, like the previous place, there are no monsters here.

"Is it a safe place?"

Katim looked around and this thought flashed through his mind.

Two apprentices had just taught him this concept.

Therefore, safe places are the few places in this space where monsters will not appear.

Due to the special mechanism, there are basically no powerful monsters here. It is considered one of the few safe places in the nightmare space.

So over time, many people will gather here to conduct some transactions.

Katim followed two apprentices here.

As soon as he entered, the people around him immediately turned their attention to him.

Most people started to get nervous.Most people here are weak.

This was Katim's first feeling.

According to the two apprentices in front of him, Katim's soul body was manifested outwardly, and he was probably at the level of a formal wizard.

This means that his soul has reached this level.

But most of the people in the market in front of them are just apprentices.

A group of apprentices meet an official wizard, which is naturally nerve-wracking.

Katim took a casual stroll around.

This place is actually not big, and there are only a few dozen people gathered inside. It looks ordinary and not very lively.

But there are not many things.

Restricted by the nightmare space, most of the things sold here are pure knowledge, or some special items that can be used in the nightmare space.

The latter is of little use to Katim for the time being, but the former can be paid more attention to.

Because in fact, he is still just an apprentice.

The knowledge sold by these apprentices in front of him was just right for him.

"How do you sell this thing?"

Katim walked up to an old man, looked at the things on display and asked.

The old man in front of him was considered a relatively powerful apprentice nearby.

The light of the soul on his body is very strong, and compared to Katim, it is only slightly weaker.

Close to being an official wizard, but not quite there yet.

"Ten crystal nuclei."

The old man raised his head, glanced at Katim, and then gave a price.

"Isn't it too expensive?"

Katim said with great interest: "Other people's spell templates basically only need three crystal nuclei."

"Different."

The old man shook his head slowly: "This is a spell that has been passed down by our school for hundreds of years and has been perfected by several generations of wizards."

"Although it is only a spell that can be used by apprentices, it is still very useful even at the level of a formal wizard and can be used until the end."

"Even for you, your Excellency, this spell has quite a complementary effect."

"Eight crystal nuclei."

Katim tried to make a counteroffer.

The old man didn't speak, just shook his head silently.

It seems that there is no discussion.

This thought flashed through Katim's mind, and then he stretched out his hand and took out a golden crystal core from his arms.

Compared with the two pieces given to the two apprentices before, the mass of this golden crystal core is much larger, and the soul power contained in it is several times that of that piece.

The old man's eyes lit up.

Judging from the quality of the crystal core in front of me, the strength of the monster that gave birth to it is probably close to that of a formal wizard.

Without any hesitation, he took out a white gem and handed it to Katim.

This is the material left after the use of the golden crystal core. Because of its special properties, it is used by many apprentices in the nightmare space to record messages.

Katim took the white crystal core and crushed it directly.

A lot of information flooded into my mind.

It was a spell about the use of elemental particles, called Flame Rune, and it was a first-level spell.

According to the old man, this spell has been continuously optimized by their school, so based on this spell, several apprentice-level spells have been extended.

Just right for Katim today.

He has accumulated enough mana. What he lacks at this moment is a suitable apprentice-level spell.

This spell is just right for him.

There are also spells in Morning Star Academy that can be exchanged for learning, but that requires a fee.

In this regard, Katim is completely poor. He can only rely on the support of Lillian's mentor to survive, and he can save a little.

The spell obtained from the old man in front of him is definitely much stronger than the spells that can be redeemed in the academy.

This is a good harvest.

"My lord."

Katim was about to leave, but the old man in front of him suddenly stopped him.

He looked at Katim, with a slight hesitation on his face, but he quickly regained his composure and seemed to have made a decision: "Excuse me, is the meditation method necessary?"

Katim's movements paused, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Is there any suitable one?"

He looked at the old man in front of him, barely maintaining a calm look on his face: "If the price is right, I don't mind collecting another one."

"Our school has a copy of Fire Meditation."

The old man said: "This is an official wizard-level meditation method, if you are interested."

"Then it depends on the price."

Katim smiled.

The old man thought for a moment, then raised his head, stretched out his hand, and made a movement.

"Fifty crystal nuclei?"

Looking at the numbers the old man fiddled with, Katim couldn't help but frown.

Fifty crystal nuclei, this number is still a large amount even for him.

This almost emptied his fortune.
