The reason why Rodman chose to buy it in the form of energy essence instead of magic coins is because the magic coins promoted by the Wizarding Alliance have not yet been used for the dark mages of the Western Islands.

However, using the essence of energy as a medium of exchange, this is obviously more profitable for Locke.

Because magic coins have not yet fully prevailed in the wizarding world, the value of the currency is slightly lower than the energy essence of the same value.

The energy essence equivalent to 3.2 million magic coins, plus the 5.15 million magic coins that Locke had obtained before, a total of 8.35 million earnings, was enough for Locke to repay the high-interest loan he owed to Capetce.

As for the basic loan of the Knight's Palace, it is a low-interest loan anyway, and there is no need to repay the loan in a hurry. (Vertical and horizontal starter)

After completing the deal with Rodman, the corpse stitcher, Locke did not rush to leave, but started talking with the fourth-level black mage with a light smile. The purpose is naturally to get a batch of precious black begonia flowers from his hands.

Knowing that Rodman was a crazy experimenter in the field of training corpse synthetic beasts, Locke also took out a lot of necromantic creature specimens unique to the Bone Plane of the Dead as gifts.

Low-level necromantic creatures such as green-haired stiffness, grunt worms, and bone behemoths did not arouse Rodman's interest.

But later, when Locke took out a few specimens of third-level necromantic creatures such as Soul Eater Warlord and Shadow Face Demon, the fourth-level black mage obviously squeezed out a little smile on his face.

It's a pity that Locke didn't take out a demigod-level necromantic creature specimen, otherwise Rodman would probably be even happier.

Magicians have never been a stingy bunch of people, including black magicians like Rodman.

When Locke revealed that he wanted some of the begonia flowers to use for his loved ones, Rodman immediately gave Locke about fifteen pounds.

These fifteen pounds of black begonia flowers are enough for Angelina and the others for two to three years.

Especially Ashar, this woman has been experimenting day and night, and Locke doesn't want his women to be dragged down by the heavy experimental work.

In addition to giving Locke fifteen pounds of begonia flowers, Rodman also showed Rock and Clenia around two of his other private laboratories and a personal collection room.

It can be seen that Rodman is very happy with the deal that has been completed.

The seventy-meter-high magic tower is only occupied by Rodman, a dozen of his apprentices and a few assistants, and the slightly empty laboratories and collection rooms are full of Rodman's proud works.

Locke couldn't help but sigh, this guy's storage is really rich.

In the process, one of the more embarrassing things happened, that is, in the corner of Rodman's personal collection room, Locke found three knights transformed by Rodman in a cage with magical inscriptions.

There is no doubt that all three knights were illegally detained by Rodman, and Locke was unsure if they were from the Western Isles or from somewhere else.

As the master of the Knight Hall of the Wizarding World, and not long ago, he also received the attention of the will of the plane of the wizarding world. According to the requirements set by the Wizarding Alliance, Locke should stand up and accuse Rodman of his fault and save the three knights.

But in the end, Locke chose to remain silent.

Locke used to be able to fight in the Darvel area for Joaquin. Because Joaquin was his friend, his best friend.

But he won't make irrational decisions for the sake of some irrelevant people.

Fortunately, these three knights, when they saw Locke, a fourth-level powerhouse, did not shout and beg for help in the cage, but also remained silent the whole time.

From the way they looked at the Rodman magician beside Locke, Locke saw fear and despair.

"They are some soldiers I bought through the channels of the Belen Empire and escaped on the battlefield of the plane, you don't have to mind the Rock Knight. They are not native knights of the Western Isles. Wizard Rodman stepped up and explained.

It was also with Rodman's explanation that a trace of sadness and dead silence appeared on the faces of the three earth knights in the cage.

It seems that Rodman is not lying.

"Really, Rodman, your collection isn't interesting at all, take us around somewhere else! I've heard you've got a lot of good stuff hidden here. Crenia said as she stepped forward to ease her embarrassment.

"Yes, yes, let's go to the next room, and I'll show you both the real 'good stuff'. Rodman was not stupid, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

As he left the private storage room, Locke couldn't help but look back at the cage in the corner of the room.

The disgraced and numb expressions of the three earth knights in the cage made Locke faintly uncomfortable.

This is the sorrow of the weak.

Locke was able to ransom the three knights to Rodman at this time, but what was the point of doing so?

He can save three, but can he save thirty, three hundred?

With the scale of Rodman's magic tower, there must be no longer a few species in the wizarding world who are imprisoned and enslaved by him.

The reason why dark mages are called black mages is because they are moody, do not follow the constraints of rules, and dare to do even actions that go against the will of the plane, let alone others.

Locke had come to trade with Rodman, the 'Body Stitcher', not to be here to be the Virgin.

If he showed any inappropriate behavior, at least, the failure of the transaction would cause dislike to the two fourth-level dark mages present, and at worst, it would directly lead to opposition between himself and all the dark mages in the Western Islands.

Locke is not a troublesome person, and he will try to avoid it if he can.

Not to mention that judging from the subsequent performance of the two black mages in front of them, they also have no intention of challenging Locke's bottom line.

Rodman's so-called 'good thing' is a demigod-level peak-level corpse training synthetic beast called 'Giant Eater'.

With a body size of twenty meters, covered with fangs and a mouth, he was imprisoned on the second basement floor of the magic tower.

According to Rodman, if this thing is fed with enough corpses for food, it will grow to a size of two hundred meters in a short period of time, and thus have the strength to compete with a fourth-level creature for a short time.

The Giant Eater is worthy of Rodman's proud work, this ugly-looking and powerful corpse-training synthetic beast is also the strongest synthetic species Locke has ever seen.

However, this does not represent Rodman's pinnacle achievements in the field of training corpses and synthesizing beasts, Locke clearly feels that the third, fifth, and seventh floors of the magic tower are also imprisoned with creatures with extremely strong life fluctuations.

But Rodman showed no intention of introducing him.
