Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1792 Owl Designer

"Coo coo coo coo, all the exiles in this settlement want to meet the Silver Warlock alone. You are not the first, nor will you be the last."

The owl, hidden in the darkness, emerged step by step. Compared to the bright and colorful plumage of the other exiles in the settlement, this owl's feathers, though also deliberately decorated, were made up of various mature shades of gray, giving it a natural and seamless appearance.

"You can call me the designer. This year's trending color is maroon. Feel free to come find me anytime if you need anything. *coo coo coo* My purpose in being here is to add some variety to this community. This lifeless dimensional esophagus needs some hope besides despair, doesn't it?"

Splash!

The center of the hall is the best-lit area.

In the center of the pool, built of bluish-gray stone, is a fountain. Moss grows on the edges and corners of the pool. In the world of material energy, it would be an unsightly stain, but in the dimensional esophagus, it is an extremely luxurious and rare life embellishment.

Several strange red-scaled fish were swimming in the pool.

The strange fish's skin and scales are translucent, allowing a clear view of their skeletons, internal organs, and even the flow of blood in their hearts. These fish feed on the moss along the edge of the pond, yet they seem to be constantly calculating the growth rate of the moss. Each fish eats only a small amount of moss each day, living in a state of semi-starvation, which sustains their lives.

This is the dimensional esophagus, where even these pets must constantly experience the pain of being gradually digested by the endless world, teetering between life and death.

Outside the bluish-gray stone platform, a row of toad statues stood with their mouths wide open, their bellies deep in their throats filled with golden pearls.

Strangely, these toad statues, though devoid of any signs of life, have red eyes that seem to be constantly moving, as if performing some kind of mysterious ritual.

Just then, with a "ding," a golden bead fell from the mouth of a toad, making a crisp sound as it struck the bluish-gray stone slab.

After a brief glance, the owl swaggered over to the golden bead, picked it up with its beak, and placed it back into the toad statue's mouth. Seemingly noticing the confusion in Millie's eyes, it explained in a low, guttural "coo-coo-coo," "Within a month's journey in this direction, a lord-level battle occurred, nothing more. I'm using the intensity of these battles to estimate the approximate time of the Dimensional Esophagus's apocalypse. It's a very interesting hobby, a way to pass the time when things get boring."

Uh?

Hearing a dimensional esophagus monster talking to her like this, and recalling the deathly silence and indifference of the dimensional esophagus monsters she had encountered before, as well as Green's terrifying narration, Millie felt a sense of unreality.

Millie tentatively asked, "Oh? So, how much longer until the dimensional esophagus apocalypse?"

The owl rested its chin on one wing, seemingly deep in thought, and muttered, "It should be soon. The number of immortal monsters gathering in the dimensional esophagus is increasing. This is the endless world's indigestion. If the rules of the endless world's dimensions don't collapse, then it's just that we, the ones causing the chaos, will perish. In short, there's only death here. Cough cough cough."

Millie opened her mouth, but no sound came out. After a slight pause, she said, "I am the great wizard of the Ice Age. What do I need to give in exchange for your high-class color design?"

"Two options: fresh corpses and energy."

The two met for the first time in Ginko Ranjo, which can be considered their initial acquaintance.

……

Three hundred years later.

It must be admitted that the gap between Millie and Green is not just a difference in ability, but also in every aspect.

Having spent three hundred years in the chaotic city of Yin Gu, this Ice Age Saint Mark Grand Wizard still had gained nothing. If it were Green, a sixth-level Saint Mark Grand Wizard of the same period, he would have already reaped considerable rewards.

"I wonder if the Demon Hunting Expedition has officially begun, or to what extent, according to the timeline of matter, energy, and time."

With a slight sigh, it was a great pity that the name of the Ice Age Saint Mark Grand Wizard was not on the roster of the Dark World Group in the first battle of the Demon Hunter Expedition. However, for the sake of Grimm's plan to control the Wizard King behind the scenes, and for his own plan to dedicate his true spirit, this was a necessary sacrifice.

At this time, Millie gradually followed the unique rules of the Silver Ancient Chaos City gathering place, dressing herself up in colorful and vibrant colors, which saved her a lot of trouble.

The retro magic lamp burns with energy crystals, which is an extreme luxury in the dimensional esophagus. However, several battles over the past three hundred years have made this ice crystal phoenix famous, and under normal circumstances, no exile dares to easily make a move against it.

On the parchment made from the fur of the defeated, a clear map of the chaotic city of Yin Gu was drawn. Millie had studied this carefully drawn map countless times, but still could not find any suspicious spatial nodes.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Just then, the golden giant knocked on the door. The warning lights on the metal door of the warship flickered. Millie waved her magic wand, and the metal door creaked open. The golden giant bent down and entered the room.

"News has arrived! In a few days, the Silver Age sorcerer will descend upon the settlement to select ten lucky individuals. This is truly unprecedented!"

Although it was good news, there was no excitement in the Golden Giant's voice.

The golden giant has changed somewhat since three hundred years ago. Several colorful ribbons are symbolically painted on both sides of his cheekbones, he wears a brightly colored vest, and his head is covered with a bunch of bright feathers of the defeated, making him look like a chieftain of a primitive tribe.

"Then why are you unhappy?"

Millie naturally noticed the Golden Giant's inner turmoil. After carefully putting away the map in her hand, she casually asked...

Meanwhile, learning from Grimm's past experience living in the Dimensional Food Path, Millie, with ample supplies, actually began to cultivate some mushrooms with the Philosopher's Stone and transformed them into various spices. She even used ice crystals to freeze the flesh and blood of the Pocket Rooster monster that had sought its own death, and made chicken and mushroom stew.

The aroma of the chicken and mushroom stew that Millie had carefully prepared—a true treasure of the Dimensional Digestion—improved the Golden Giant's agitation considerably. He sat down in his small, exquisite chair and said in a deep voice, "The one who delivered the message was that rainbow sprite. Unfortunately, before I could even see it after receiving the news, it disappeared again."

"If that's the case, it's only a few days. Congratulations on your imminent revenge. It's been so long already, a few more days won't make a difference."

As she spoke, Millie took out a half-empty bottle of tea-yellow test tube liquid from her sleeve and handed it to the bewildered golden giant, explaining, "This is a tracking potion I carefully concocted. As long as you come into contact with that elf during the battle, I will find you no matter where you run off to."

At the same time, the slight dampness on the outside of the test tube completely seeped into the skin of the golden giant.

Coo coo coo!

Just then, the owl designer appeared uninvited at Millie's front door. The three had known each other for hundreds of years. After a "coo coo coo" greeting, the owl, smelling the aroma of mushroom soup, waddled into the room with a strange fish in its beak. Ignoring Millie's resistance, it threw the fish into the boiling water with a "plop".

Seeing this, the golden giant sneered, "Your pets have all been eaten, haven't they?"

The owl designer replied listlessly, "As long as moss can grow in my freshwater pool, they won't go extinct. You underestimate the vitality of these monsters that can survive in the dimensional esophagus. Every cell in the creatures living here is filled with the will to survive. Even in their hysterical, desperate cries, they still devour any digestible food. Only in this way can they survive to the end here. This is also why the monsters of the dimensional esophagus can easily advance to the level of rulers once they return to the world of matter and energy."

Splash, splash, splash...

In the boiling pot, as the strange fish slowly cooked itself, it swallowed the scalding hot mushrooms and muscle chunks, demonstrating the cruel rules of the dimensional esophagus.

"Coo coo coo coo, it's cooked. I also have to thank the Ice Age Wizard for the mushrooms, which added some anticipation to the settlement and eased some of the deathly silence and despair in the Dimensional Eatery."

"That's what the owl designer is saying."
