Chapter 868

(Unedited)

On the other hand, Shin Jiao enters the lair of Baldrix and sits on the side while examining the crystals in his hand.

"These crystals… there is something weird about them," he muttered as he began taking some things inside his dimension.

When Baldrix, who is watching on the side, saw this, his eyes glowed with interest.

"This human is not that simple… my guess is right. If he could really help my master get out of this entrapment, then we can get out of this place and go back to the Immortal Land." he thought while still observing Shin Jiao.

It takes a long while before Shin Jiao could figure things out. The small squirrel on the side just watches as it dares not do anything for fear of offending Baldrix. It did not even go with Loom who has gained its affection. So it just stayed on the side and watch.

Shin Jiao slowly produces many glyphs in the air and began infusing them with one of the crystals. Then he drew some patterns and connects the crystals to each other while forming a complex connection while everything is floating in the air.

Shin Jiao then takes out a flat-screen inside his dimension and carefully connects it with the complex contraption which is suspended in the air. Soon the screen lit up and something was displayed as everything turns black once again.

  This is the basic command-line interface that Shin Jiao would always use before creating an operating system for a machine.

As he looks at this scene, a slight smile appears on his face as he knew that he succeeded.

"The speed is faster than the most high-speed computers from the earth and most of the computers he has made so far. These crystals are the things that I need the most if I wanted to upgrade further." He thought as a plan immediately enters his mind.

"Great dragon Baldrix, do these crystals exist mostly in this mountain?" Shin Jiao tried to confirm.

With a nod of its big head, the dragon confirmed his speculation.

"This is good, I need to get my hands on plenty of these crystals…" he said while looking around.

"I think the dwarves have plenty of those in their garbage dumb along with many useless metals… you can visit them if you wanted to."

"Thank you… And I will gift you this as a gesture of good faith." Shin Jiao takes out a visor.

"We are having some dealings with the dragon race outside this space… By the way, can you transform into a human form?"

Baldrix showed a faint smile and then with a flash of light, his large figure slowly turned into a 7-foot tall human.

The handsome appearance of Baldrix and his burly body along with traces of scales truly made him look like one of the dragonkin that he has seen. He looks like Grukal the red dragon clan, but his scales are more translucent and colorful.

"This is my gift for you. With this visor, you will enter a new world outside this cavern and experience some sort of freedom. However, that world is not yet finished. We still have a lot of things to fix in there." Shin Jiao said as he handed the visor to Baldrix.

Baldrix did not have any inhibition against Shin Jiao and without hesitation, he wore the visor. And it did not long before he found himself in a place where there is a floating island in the vastness of space.

Then suddenly his vision was sucked inside a whirlpool and then found himself standing in front of a fountain.

Then he saw many others just like himself a bit confused as he looks around. He has the same appearance as his human self. But right now he is wearing leather armor and simple clothes with a short blade on his side.

"Welcome to the Alternate World of the Immortal Land…" a voice suddenly enters his ears which surprised him and the other people in that area.

The introduction of this world was told to them and they slowly listened. They followed the instruction and then slowly learned how they could navigate through this new world that they are in.

But in Baltrix's mind, he is feeling deep elation and excitement. For many years, he was trapped inside the cave within the Kingdom of Xinglo and guarded the memories of his master Agus, and her brother Ruel.

Now that he has a chance of freedom, he is of course elated to have such an experience.

While Baldrix was consumed by his enthusiasm, Shin Jiao decided to leave the lair and enter the dwarven kingdom. He gestured for the squirrel.

"Do you want to go with me?" he asked.

The squirrel was a bit confused, but seeing the gesture of the human it then nodded its head and immediately climbs to Shin Jiao's shoulder.

The two went out of the lair and then proceed to traverse the lair of the blob-like creature. Shin Jiao could tell that the thing seems to be sleeping after eating the ore given to it.

He then walks past it and enters the dark cave. With his improved vision, he didn't need the night vision goggles as he easily traverses the darkness while following the traces of the mech on the ground.

This dark passage has many twists and turn and is not a simple path. He even encounters many beasts lurking in the dark. The dwarves have lived in these tunnels for many years and knew how to fend off these creatures, so Loom did not encounter such trouble. But for Shin Jiao, he is still new to this place and did not have any prior knowledge of the danger it possesses to the intruders, so he was besieged by many creatures.

But with his strength and ability, it was too easy for him to take care of them.

He was even surprised to see these creatures cannibalize their own kind as they eat, drag the dead to their hiding spots, and feast on them.

After walking and encountering many of these beasts for a while, Shin Jiao does not arrive at a large stone gate that is shut close.

He walks towards the gate and knocks at it.

He could already tell the nervous guards behind the gate wielding their weapons.

"I am Shin Jiao, a merchant… I am here for a trade…" he said with a slight smile on his face.

"You're a liar… How can a merchant not bring any wares with him?" shouted a voice from the walls.

"Oh, that's because I am hiding them in my special bag. Here, you can look at them." Shin Jiao said as he waves his hand in the air and a Windfall appears.

On the side of the Windfall are two bags which look like they are filled with some goods.

"Whatever you need, I have it… I have… food!" Shin Jiao said as he walks to the side and takes out canned meat.

When the observing people behind the wall saw Shin Jiao taking out a weird-looking metal object, they frowned.

"He took out a metal object…" the observer said.

"What is that metal object." The man in charge said on the trumpet connected to the walls and to the holes on the wall outside.

Shin Jiao did not reply and just open the can. He then uses his fingers to lift the meat inside the can. The wonderful aroma began to permeate through the small cracks of the gate and the people behind it could even smell the good aroma.

"Are you really going to trade with us? What do you need?"

"I just wanted some ore and your junks…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

"Wait a minute, I will inform my superiors." The man said as he could not decide on this matter.

Not to mention this human was able to enter the locked pathway inside and go through the barrier of the beasts and the ore eater monster. How could they not feel vigilant against him?

And so the dwarven in charge ran towards their post and sent a letter to the castle in haste.

Shin Jiao waited for around an hour before, the large gate slowly opens and he was met with many 4-meters tall people with burly bodies and wielding weapons pointed towards him.

As he walks inside, Shin Jiao stopped in front of a dwarf wearing expensive-looking garb. He might be an official or a representative, so he needed to greet this one first.

"I am Shin Jiao from the Mystique Shop. I am here to trade with the great dwarven kingdom." Shin Jiao said with a polite gesture.

"Haha… You are able to enter our kingdom even with the restriction; this already tells us of your prowess… We dare not offend such a person." The representative said.

Although the dwarf wore expensive garb, he still barriers a large ax on his back. So Shin Jiao knew that his dwarf is a good fighter.

"I am just a mere merchant, you praise me too well, my good sire." Shin Jiao politely said.

With his words, the impression of the dwarves around him became amiable.

"Ah, they are such gullible fellows.." Shin Jiao immediately thought while showing a polite smile on his face.
