Chapter 80: This cooperation, a win-win!

He didn't care about the black-robed wizard's salute.

Supernatural Swordsman Baron Berlanke simply fixed his gaze on the direction Ta Ke had left, until Ta Ke disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Baron Berlanke came to and looked at the black-robed wizard.

"Do you know Ta Ke?"

"Ta Ke? Who is Ta Ke?"

"It's the person you were just talking to."

"Reporting to Your Excellency, Baron, I don't know him; I was just making casual conversation." The black-robed wizard glanced in the direction Ta Ke had gone, feeling a bit curious.

"So that's how it is!" Supernatural Swordsman Berlanke nodded.

He casually handed over the several sword techniques he had just purchased.

After obtaining the sword technique crystal seeds, Berlanke had originally intended to return to his residence.

After all, he was studying the swordsmanship inheritance of La Mo'er, merely supplementing his own supernatural swordsmanship.

More precisely, it was for the slight supernatural traits he needed within those sword technique sequence seeds.

He didn't need to go to the transformation pool.

But he paused there for a moment.

"Berlanke" still turned and headed toward the Supernatural Ability Transformation Pool that Ta Ke had just gone to.

"The squad leaders all said, if possible, go make contact with that wizard called Ta Ke."

"That guy is no ordinary person."

"Since we've met, let's get acquainted; who knows, we might even team up for the expedition to the Underground Demon King."

…………

"The price is 2 magic gold per hour."

"This is even stronger than the half-price discount. I remember Ka Luosi saying before that it was 5 magic gold per hour."

"However, those spells are truly expensive."

"Without some resources, moving even a step in this tower is truly difficult."

Ta Ke, having entered the transformation pool, pondered silently.

Although Ta Ke had relatively abundant resources,

but the situation in La Mo'er is currently quite chaotic.

Many resources are also difficult to convert into magic gold.

After purchasing spells, Ta Ke had little magic gold left.

【Supernatural Ability Transformation Pool】

What came into view was a relatively wide passageway.

On both sides were numerous magic door frames, and inside the frames were energy barriers.

After entering, the interior activates and solidifies, allowing one to stay safely inside.

Inside the magic door frames, strong transformation rune characteristics permeate.

One can easily construct the transformation sequence bridge.

As for how to master the transformation sequence bridge,

Ta Ke had already learned it when he studied at the Netherworld High Tower.

These are all basic wizard knowledge.

Within the high tower, not only does it possess a complete lineage and supernatural knowledge, but it also offers a relatively safe cultivation state.

Ta Ke couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Outside, as a wild supernatural being, one meal might be followed by none.

Every few days, one might be harvested by the Evil God Organization.

One might even have to deal with the deceit of other wild supernatural beings.

But inside the high tower,

there aren't so many troublesome matters.

There are vast amounts of spellcraft that can be passed down.

There is a systematic study of wizard knowledge.

Moreover, there are complete supporting facilities for improvement in all aspects.

"If possible, developing steadily here for over a decade would be absolutely great."

"Not mentioning anything else, just this stable development over the past one or two months has already made my growth speed astonishing."

Ta Ke was just looking for a suitable magic door frame for himself.

Footsteps sounded behind him.

But the footsteps stopped about ten meters behind Ta Ke.

Ta Ke slowly turned and said lightly, "You've been following me for so long; why aren't you coming over now?"

What came into view was a supernatural swordsman wearing a brown high-collared loose suit, a round-topped wide-brimmed hat, and a supernatural sword blade at his waist.

This outfit immediately identifies him as an outsider, and moreover a respectable person from high society.

He is not the sort of destitute swordsman from La Mo'er who would pawn his sword just to get a meal.

That brown suit doesn't really match La Mo'er.

Yet it is supernatural armor with astonishing defensive power.

"You really do know!" Berlanke laughed.

"Those three shadowflame magic wolves behind you are eyeing me hungrily; I dare not get too close."

Ta Ke's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Ta Ke's shadow magic wolf naturally needs no words about its stealthiness.

But this level-19 supernatural swordsman before me actually noticed it.

"There's something."

Ta Ke nodded slightly.

"Is there something?"

"Cooperation!"

Bolanke straightforwardly stated the purpose.

"Demon King's Tomb?"

"Yes!"

"But the demands of Shenglande and Laomoer don't seem consistent," Ta Ke thought and said.

"But our demands...... are consistent."

"We all want to obtain powerful leader-level supernatural crystals to complete the second-stage metamorphosis."

"What's important is that the resources needed by swordsmen and the wizardry sequence do not overlap."

"When we enter, we only need to complete the tasks we need to complete; then when we come out, we won't need to be inspected on our gains."

"I think if we join forces, we should be able to obtain quite a lot of resources."

Ta Ke scrutinized the level-19 supernatural swordsman before them, then slowly spoke.

"You must be quite wealthy, right?"

Ta Ke's words made the swordsman Bolanke pause.

"Wealth is only relative."

Bolanke spoke in a relaxed tone.

"My family does support me, but the support is also quite limited."

"After all, my family has many supernaturals with bloodlines."

"If you go to Shenglande, you'll know."

"There, there are higher-grade resources, various resources that dazzle us."

"It is called the 【Supernatural City-State】, and it is a tower territory like Laomoer's, completely incomparable."

"But living, growing, cultivating there consumes even more astonishing magic gold."

"For us supernatural practitioner students cultivating in Shenglande."

"Just having perseverance and talent isn't enough; supernatural equipment, supernatural resources, and even very real magic gold are all necessary."

"Moreover, no one can refuse."

"Even in Shenglande, leader-level materials are not very common."

"To participate in the supernatural beings' gathering, one needs to prepare a large amount of magic gold."

"Also... regarding the Dark Sun Church war, you should have heard about it too, right."

Having said this, Bolanke paused and looked at Ta Ke.

Ta Ke directly added slowly.

"The Dark Sun Church wants to cooperate with the Sun Rock Stone Empire to crush the Sailiangsi Duchy."

"The development of the Southern Continent, as well as the Eastern Continent across the sea, many Sailiangsi frontier areas have a restless trend, and some places have already... started fighting."

After confirming Ta Ke knew these things, Bolanke smiled slightly.

Ta Ke knows this information; at least, Ta Ke is truly being cultivated as a core by Laomoer High Tower.

"Yes!"

"The world has begun to turmoil; from this period, the increase in pirate and sky pirate gangs shows it."

"Whether here or later reaching Shenglande, we need to become strong as soon as possible."

"The importance of resources inside the Demon King's Tomb, you should be clear."

"At minimum, there are considerable amounts of elite materials, as well as expensive and rare leader-level materials."

"Either you alone or I alone would find it hard to obtain."

"But if we two cooperate, we have a high probability of obtaining it, maybe even more than one or two."

"Cooperation is win-win!"

Bolanke, while explaining, looked at Ta Ke very seriously.

After pondering a moment, Ta Ke then nodded slightly.

"Since it's like that, then it's settled."

"If the other party is not a member of the Dark Sun Church, this round of cooperation is indeed a win-win start."

"After all, leader-level creatures are really hard to kill."

"Leader-level creatures have a unique vitality that stands out as being able to withstand blows."

"Previously in the Undead Rift, Ta Ke used the power of the Light-Shaping Spear to restrain that bone dragon chief, and only with everyone's combined output was it defeated."

"If someone cooperates, that's naturally better."

"If the other party is a member of the Dark Sun Church."

"Ta Ke has even less reason not to cooperate."

"After all, who could refuse a gift from nature?"

"However, Ta Ke vaguely felt that this guy is not a follower of the Dark Sun."

"After the preliminary cooperation was achieved, Bolanke chatted a few sentences and then entered the Magic Door Frame."

Ta Ke looked left and right, then the shadow coiled and he also entered the magical door frame at the side.

Ta Ke came out this time.

Ta Ke didn't know whether it was Lamo'er High Tower that had leaked his true strength.

Or because the Dark Sun Church had already listed him as a key surveillance target.

Ta Ke felt many gazes fixed upon him.

The more this happened, the more Ta Ke needed to be careful.

Fortunately.

This time, he got some benefits from Lamo'er High Tower.

The protection of the Steam High Tower, though not all‑encompassing, was still better than nothing.

He opened the iron box, and the shadow swiftly swept away, wiping off those viscous liquids.

Five witch‑seeds, each the size of a thumb and of varying colors, with sufficient magical power, fell into Ta Ke's hand.

After a round of spirit‑sensing, his eyes opened again and joy welled up uncontrollably.

"Indeed, it's quite different from the witchcraft I previously inherited via scrolls."

"These witchcrafts are highly malleable, offering a large realm for development, unlike the few I learned before, which could only be weakly strengthened in a limited direction."

"Thus, by using the system for fine‑grained enhancement, the casting time, energy consumption, concealment, and power of these witchcrafts can undergo a significant qualitative change."

"Entering the Underground Demon King Tomb this time, the safety factor rises sharply."

"This demon metal was worth the expense."

After observing, Ta Ke nodded slightly.

He took out the first witch‑seed, 【Arcane Shot】.

After a round of spirit‑sensing, Ta Ke absorbed the inheritance.

Next came the construction of the transformation spirit bridge.

Using the witch‑seed of Arcane Shot, he absorbed the magical sequence and rank framework of the bullet's touch.

With extraordinarily fine control, the construction of the transformation spirit bridge was simple and easy for Ta Ke.

【Arcane Shot】

【Abyss Bloodthirsty Magic Vine】

【Nightmare Fire Oil Bomb】

【Micro Hurricane Technique】

【Dragon Source Scale Shield】

Ta Ke converted one witchcraft after another, step by step.
