This was a tree, a very, very, very big tree.

Heath looked up and estimated that it was at least tens of kilometers tall. Yes, it was not meters, but kilometers!

The luxuriant branches and leaves extended in all directions, like an open umbrella, covering the entire sky. It was so vast that one could not see the end of it.

At this moment, he was standing on the trunk of the giant tree. He was so tiny that he looked like an ant.

There were houses, streets, and towers on the tree trunk. They were built around the tree trunk.

There were streams of people and heavy traffic. It was like a lively market.

Heath, who had seen this spectacular scene for the first time, was a little shocked. It was hard to imagine that a city would be built on a giant tree.

"Very surprised, right?"

Doro's voice rang out, and it wriggled its body out of a tree hole. "Every newcomer who comes to the Mist Market for the first time is like this. After all, in a low-magic region like the Old Land, world seeds are really rare."

Heath was stunned. "World seed?"

He said in surprise, "Your Excellency said that this giant tree is a world seed?"

Doro smiled and said, "Otherwise, what do you think can grow so big?"

Heath was enlightened.

There were some unusually huge demonized creatures in this world, such as giant turtles, giant trees, giant whales, and so on.

These giant creatures had extraordinary sizes. Because they were too huge, there were even forests, mountains, and lakes on their bodies. Some creatures even lived on them, forming an independent ecosystem and forming their own world.

Such giant creatures were also known as world species.

Heath clicked his tongue and said, "So there really is such a thing!"

When he first saw the description of world species in the book, he thought it was an exaggeration.

Doro said, "This world tree is considered small. Compared to its kind, it is still very young. If compared to those world-class monsters, it is even less worth mentioning."

Heath recalled the description of world seeds in the book. It was said that some world seeds were as big as a continent, and even the Wizard World itself was a world seed...

Heath looked around and then asked, "Is this a dimensional space?"

There were some very small secondary planes under the main material plane of this world. These planes were also called dimensional spaces.

Doro nodded. "Yes."

Heath said, "No wonder..."

He finally understood why he couldn't find the bazaar half a day ago.

The prime material plane and the dimensional space needed to pass through spatial cracks in order to travel back and forth. The tree tunnel from before must have been connected to the spatial cracks here.

Doro said, "Alright, what do you need to trade? Do you need Doro to give you some advice?"

Heath thought for a moment and said, "I want to sell some materials first. After that, I might want to buy some Wizard tools and spells."

Doro said, "If you want to sell materials, go straight to the south after entering the market. After crossing the river, you can see the purchasing station. There are many flea Wizards nearby."

"If you sell a small amount, you can sell it to the flea Wizards around. The price might be higher. If you sell more, I suggest you sell it to the purchasing station. It's safer that way."

"There are Wizard tools everywhere in the West Market. The best treasures are in the 'Treasure House', which is opened by the Magnus family."

Doro then asked, "Then, do you still need Doro to lead the way? I charge by the time."

'This Magic Stone is really easy to earn...'.

Heath shook his head. "I want to walk around by myself first."

Doro said, "Okay, then I wish you good luck. If you change your mind, you can come to the rat hole to find me."

With that, Doro left.

Then, Heath walked to the market ahead.

After passing through the ground formed by the uneven old bark, Heath came to the entrance of the market.

There was a branch that was placed here, forming a gate. In front of the gate stood two young men in capes, embroidered with the three flame emblems of the Magnus family.

When Heath walked over, there happened to be an Apprentice with a red beard who was blocked.

The cloaked man said, "If you want to enter the market, please pay 20 Magic Stones."

The red beard man cursed, "20 Magic Stones! Your Magnus family is robbing us!"

The cloaked man said coldly, "If you don't give me Magic Stones, please leave."

The red-bearded man cursed and took out 20 Magic Stones and handed them over. The two cloaked men immediately made way.

Seeing this, Heath prepared the Magic Stones in advance.

"Please pay 20 Magic Stones."

After paying the Magic Stones, Heath successfully entered the market. Only then did he notice that the entire market was actually built in a huge group of tree holes.

The top of the tree holes was covered with dense branches and roots. On top of them were hanging lantern-shaped fruits. Among the fruits, bright yellow lights lit up the streets and alleys.

There was a wooden sign at the entrance with a map on it. It explained in detail which direction each street should lead to.

However, the map was not very useful because the streets inside were built like an ant's nest. The lines were messy and it was difficult for people to understand them.

Heath saw a few Apprentices who seemed to be here for the first time just like him. They were standing in front of the map and their eyes were dizzy.

He walked to the map and put one hand on the map: 'Extract.'

[Beep, extraction successful. Obtained one copy of the map of the Mist Market.]

After a burst of dizziness, he had a detailed map of this market in his mind. Looking at the maze-like streets again, Heath no longer felt troubled.

He walked into the market, crossed two streets, crossed a small river, and arrived at the south side of the market with ease.

There were many people squatting by the side of the street. Judging from the elemental fluctuations on their bodies, they were all Apprentices, and their strength was between low to medium.

They held a wooden sign in their hands, on which were concise and comprehensive words such as 'Buying all kinds of materials' and 'Recycle XXX at a high price'.

When they saw Heath coming over, they surrounded him like a swarm of bees.

"Do you have any materials to sell? Increase the price by 15% compared to the purchasing station."

"Sell them to me. The price you offer is definitely better than the purchasing station!"

These were flea Wizards who specialized in mingling in various Wizard markets. They bought materials from various Wizards and hoarded them until the prices of these materials rose. To put it bluntly, they were speculators in the Wizard World.

Heath asked, "What materials do you collect? What price? Do you have a price list?"

"Of course! I'll give it to you right away!"

"I want everything. This is my price list!"

"This is the price for today."

The flea Wizards handed over parchment papers to Heath one after another, listing the prices of various materials.

Heath collected more than ten copies in a row and said, "Okay, I'll take a look first. If I need it, I'll contact everyone."

With that, he took the parchment and left.

He came to a quiet place and took out the dozen or so price lists separately. Then, he compared them in his mind.

"It seems that the war is really not far away..."

Through comparison, he soon found that the recovery materials, spell materials, and battle materials were much more expensive than before. It was obviously a sign of the coming of war.

"It seems that I have to hurry up and make preparations..."

With this in mind, he quickly arrived at the purchasing station.

The purchasing station was a four-story tower. In the hall, a few cloaked Apprentices were busy with a dozen half-human-sized, green-skinned, and three-legged little monsters.

These were Green Goblins, a kind of magic creature under the Goblins category. They were obedient, had some low-level intelligence, and were especially good at organizing. Therefore, Wizards liked to tame some to share their work.

Seeing Heath enter the hall, a female Apprentice came up with a notebook. "Do you need help?"

Heath said, "I want to sell some materials. There are about one to two hundred kinds, each of which is dozens to hundreds of pieces. They weigh about one to two thousand pounds."

The female Apprentice nodded. "Okay, please follow me."

Heath followed the female Apprentice into a small room next to the corridor.

The female Apprentice said, "Please take out your things."

Heath took out his dimensional pocket, chanted a spell, and poured out all the things inside.

Nailleaf Grass, Rootless Fruit, Shrieking Fruit, Necromancy Flower, Fire-Kissed Boa's fangs, Red Scorpion's heart... All kinds of strange materials piled up into a small mountain.

This was the result of his hard work over the past eight or nine months. It could be said that it was all of his belongings.

The female Apprentice was also surprised. "It's really quite a lot."

It was rare to see so many materials sold in one go after working in the purchasing station for so long.

Then, she arranged for Heath to sit down at the table next to her and sent over cream, lizard legs, roasted spiders, Flower Goblin Honey tea, and other popular snacks among Wizards.

"Please wait here for a moment. We will arrange for the Green Goblins to do the inventory as soon as possible."

Heath nodded. "Alright."

The female Apprentice went out and quickly brought two more Green Goblins into the room.

The two little monsters sat down in front of the goods that were as tall as a hill. Then, they began to count and categorize the goods.

They moved very quickly. So fast that Heath could even see their afterimages.

In less than half an hour, the pile of goods that were as tall as a hill had been counted.

And then the female Apprentice calculated the price of Heath's goods.

A figure Heath had not expected came out...
