A Level 2 Magic Stone is equivalent to one hundred Level 1 Magic Stones, and one million Level 1 Magic Stones equals ten thousand Level 2 Magic Stones.

This is just the typical calculation; in practice, the value of ten thousand Level 2 Magic Stones exceeds that of one million Level 1 Magic Stones.

As one's power increases, the demand for things like Energy Crystal Stones grows, as does the requirement for higher grades.

Many times, things that a Level 2 Magic Stone can accomplish are impossible for a Level 1 Magic Stone, and cannot merely be supplemented by quantity.

Take for instance the Super Energy Cannon used in the Beastman Plane, which requires Level 2 Magic Stones as its energy source, and needs many of them.

Converting these Level 2 Magic Stones into Level 1 Magic Stones is virtually a colossal amount; such a massive quantity of Level 1 Magic Stones cannot fill it up, even if stuffed completely it's not enough to start the Super Energy Cannon.

The higher the grade of Energy Crystal Stones, the rarer they are; an exchange ratio of one to one hundred is just theoretical, whereas in real life it's often between 1 to 100 and 1 to 110.

In general, Energy Crystal Stones in the Low Planes are mostly Level 1, with only a tiny amount reaching Level 2.

Nquarry veins of Level 2 and even Level 3 Energy Crystal Stones are more abundant in the Middle Planes, which is determined by the different plane tiers.

This is also the reason Black Sail is willing to take risks to let the Beastman Plane elevate to a Middle Plane; the disparity between the Middle and Low Plane is too vast, and the resources that can be produced are entirely of a different magnitude.

As for the High Plane and Top Plane, those are beyond what the current Wizard Plane can even contemplate.

…

Harrison was taken aback by Duke's words, and then revealed a look of difficulty: "This... the Commerce Association isn't easy either, I fear it's difficult to come up with so many Level 2 Magic Stones..."

Duke shook his head: "A year of garrison is a long time for me, without ten thousand Level 2 Magic Stones, I won't go."

The task was not simple for him, as it required a year's time, and without enough incentive, it's impossible for him to undertake it.

Harrison hesitated for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and said: "Alright, then ten thousand Level 2 Magic Stones!"

With these ten thousand Level 2 Magic Stones, Duke agreed to this cooperation.

Earning ten thousand Level 2 Magic Stones in a year was pretty good; he could also continue training, refining Magic Potions, etc. on the Wood Elf Plane.

Black Sail provides good treatment to those guarding the Other Planes, except for certain planes with particularly harsh conditions.

The wizard who previously cooperated with the Giant Rock Commerce Association was named Gordon, and he was slowly cultivating using the resources and environment of the Wood Elf Plane until he advanced to Level 2 Wizard.

Duke was not worried about life afterwards, as the environment in the Wood Elf Plane was also suitable for wizard training, considered a good plane.

He heard that many planes have air containing toxins, and even a wizard needs to use Magic Potions periodically to eliminate the toxins, otherwise hidden dangers would remain.

Ordinary people would drop dead instantly if they went to such planes.

The difficulty of garrisoning such planes is very high, but many wizards are still willing to go, just for the considerable task rewards.

Additionally, some wizards have conducted special research to adapt well to such environments, so the otherwise harsh environments might turn out to be good for them.

After Duke agreed with Harrison, the two then went to the Giant Rock Commerce Association in Harbor City.

The Giant Rock Commerce Association also has a building here, which doesn't sell any goods, but is a place for handling affairs. Many people come and go, all appearing busy.

After waiting for a while, Duke received ten thousand Level 2 Magic Stones; he was aware he would be shorted.

Despite Harrison's bitter expression, seemingly finding it extremely difficult...

The truth was, for the Giant Rock Commerce Association, these are just small transactions, and Harrison's performance was merely to lower costs.

Duke felt his experience was still insufficient; he should have demanded more, perhaps directly asking for a few hundred thousand.

He believed even if he demanded two to three hundred thousand, Harrison would ultimately agree; a million is definitely not their limit.

"Initially they wanted to dismiss me with fifty thousand, too bad I didn't ask for more," Duke sighed internally, feeling still too young.

Harrison glanced at Duke's expression and said: "Don't overthink it, we really can't give any more."

Duke rolled his eyes, ignoring him.

"Rest assured, once you're there, our people will also assist you. There will be plenty of Magic Potion Materials, you can comfortably conduct potion research without disturbances." Harrison said.

...

After returning to Black Sail, Duke took on the task of guarding the Wood Elf Plane.

As soon as he accepted it, everything was arranged promptly, moving swiftly.

It was Duke's first time seeing such high efficiency from Black Sail; apparently, the Giant Rock Commerce Association was also eager, having arranged everything within Black Sail long ago, just waiting for Duke to agree to guard.

He felt that if he disagreed, the Giant Rock Commerce Association would arrange for someone else to undertake this task.

Duke could now set off at any time to the Wood Elf Plane, but he wasn't in a rush, as he still had some things to arrange.

He first sent a message to Vivian, informing her of this matter, as communication with Wizard's Mark would be impossible once there.

The Wizard Mark Tower had already been installed internally on the Wood Elf Plane, but it can only communicate within the same plane, not inter plane.

Vivian was still intensively training, steadily advancing towards becoming an Official Wizard.

After chatting with Vivian for a while, Duke also arranged with Harrison to send fifty thousand Level 1 Magic Stones over, which should suffice for Vivian to train to an Official Wizard.

Although Vivian said she didn't need it, there's never too much of resource.

Having received so much from Vivian in the past, it was now reciprocation in kind.

Afterwards, Duke also arranged matters on the Deserted Island, assigning Shari to study on Academy Island, though not residing there regularly, instead living on the Deserted Island.

With him as her Official Wizard backing, Shari shouldn't be facing any bullying, with Harrison also watching over.

Harrison was in the Magic Potion shop on Academy Island, so he could help if needed.

As for Nina, she continued to study Spirit Wind Breathing Technique, striving to soon reach the Great Knight Realm.

As for Yala, Duke decided to take her along to the Wood Elf Plane.

The reason for taking Yala was simple—Yala was from the Wood Elf Plane and familiar with it, making things much easier for Duke.

Moreover, spending a year there, having a woman around would prevent loneliness.

Yala was quite pleased to return to the Wood Elf Plane, originally thinking she'd never have another chance, but didn't expect an opportunity to come so soon.

She even specially requested to go to Harbor City to buy lots of clothes and some things to enhance joy, all intended to please Duke.
