"Planar war?" Locke's eyes widened as he stared at Jasmine, who was recording the information in the crystal ball.
"Yeah, don't you know about it?" Jasmine swayed her long hair and put away the crystal ball in her hand before walking to the next area.
Locke pushed the cage containing the slave creatures and followed her. "Can you tell me about it?"
"Aren't you a knight? Didn't the Hall of Knights issue a combat order?" Jasmine knew a lot. The Hall of Knights was more regulated and militarized than the Sanctum in planar wars. All the knights were grouped into corps and every mission was issued with a combat order.
"No, they only said that there's a conscription order." Locke told her the only thing he knew.
"In half a year, the Sanctum and the Hall of Knights will be working together to conquer a pocket realm called Fairy Realm. The mission has already been relayed to us in the Sanctum Hall," said Billie in one breath, leaving Locke dumbfounded.
"Then these slave creatures..." After the initial shock, Locke quickly came to his senses. He immediately thought of the countless slave creatures that were locked up in front of him.
"Cannon fodder," Billie spat out the word.
Locke's mind was offline for the entire morning. He now understood why the grey-robed Magister said that his conscription mission could be completed in the Sanctum.
Following countless official Magicians, official Knights, and existences above the level of official Magicians to conquer other planes? Locke felt that the war between Faustian and Shalor ten years ago was child's play in the eyes of these big shots.
That war between the two countries caused more than hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries. What about this time?
A few million? Tens of millions? Not to mention rank-two and rank-three powerhouses, even level-one casters and Ritters could easily destroy mountains and rivers.
He hadn't forgotten that Princeton alone had about nine thousand high-rank Knechts. What about the Three Western Isles and the three continents combined?
Locke felt a little dizzy.
He went to look for Angelina during his break in the afternoon. She had already received her identity badge and magic crystal ball from the Sanctum. She was wearing a white dress today.
"Do you know about the planar war?" Locke went straight to the point.
"Yes." Angelina had also just heard the news from her mentor. Her mentor advised her not to devote herself to alchemy experiments for the time being. Her priority was to improve her personal strength.
Angelina, a mid-rank Lehrling, was also part of the Sanctum's expedition team.
"I will protect you." He gave Angelina a hug. Since he was also left behind in the Sanctum, he had to be responsible for her safety.
"By the way, has Angie woken up?" asked Locke with concern as he remembered Angelina's pet.
Previously, he'd managed to obtain four test tubes of blood from the base-rank draconic beast. Angelina had purified them all and turned them into half a tube of dark red dragon blood.
The temperature of the dragon blood was 70 degrees Celsius. Angie took it on the same day. From that day on, the scorpion dragon fell into a deep sleep.
Of course, she couldn't leave the scorpiondrake outside every day. The magical pet pouch that Locke got for her was a great help.
"No, but I can feel it soon." Angelina said. She had a mental connection with the scorpiondrake, so she could roughly sense its condition.
"Also, it seems to have grown a little bigger." Angelina sounded uncertain. Since she hadn't released the scorpiondrake to see what was going on, she could only observe it through the pet pouch.
"Huh? Has it grown wings? " Locke couldn't forget about being able to fly. The scorpiondrake's parents both had wings, so he believed that Angie would be able to grow wings in the future too.
"Not yet." Angelina understood Locke's thoughts the best. She smiled. "How can it be so fast? It's only a mid-rank major monster."
"What about Daenie? How is she?" Locke thought of the blue-haired girl. He hadn't seen Daenie much since he came to the Sanctum.
"She's learning from the grandmeisterin now. Grandmother Parlina even praised her for her high affinity with the water element." Angelina smiled. She often met Daenie, whether it was in the academy or in real life.
Angelina lived with Kayla on the 78th floor of the Sanctum while Daenie lived with her grandmeisterin on the 74th floor. The two residences weren't too far apart.
The number of floors in the Sanctum was directly related to the caster's strength. Kayla, who lived on the 78th floor, seemed to be slightly stronger than Angelina's grandmeisterin.
Locke, who had a stable job in the transport zone, wasn't a knight who would do nothing but work. After getting to know the casters in the transport zone, he realised that there was a lot of profit to be had.
"I won't pursue the Hallucinatory Butterfly's wing anymore. Be more careful next time!" Molly warned him one afternoon when she cornered him in a corner of the transport zone.
"Got it, got it!" Locke nodded diligently.
Molly had used the word 'be careful' very well. Of course, the old fox knew what she meant. He could do it, but he couldn't go overboard.
Two days ago, a Lehrling came to him sneakily and told him that he wanted the wing of a Hallucinatory Butterfly and was willing to pay two low-rank energy crystals as payment.
Two low-rank energy crystals weren't much, but it would be a waste if he didn't earn it. When he was dealing with the Hallucinatory Butterfly, he pretended to accidentally tear off one of its wings.
The Hallucinatory Butterfly only had four wings, so it didn't matter to him whether it could still fly after losing one of its wings. All he had to think about was how to fill up his pockets.
Knowing that he would be participating in the planar battlefield in half a year's time, Locke had been frantically using wind attribute energy crystals to increase his strength. At the same time, he was also looking for items that would be useful to him and Angelina.
The Sanctum was really rich. Locke didn't know how many casters there were, but it was true that magic equipment was cheap here.
He had taken a look at the Sanctum's trading area the day before. A magic scroll that could cast the high-ranked spell, Annihilation Lightning, could be bought for only three mid-ranked magical beast cores or energy crystals. It was unbelievable.
He felt that it was the right decision to ask Billie to exchange most of his gold moores for major monster crystal cores when he left.
