Such a powerful magic weapon seemed to be tailor-made for him.
Grimm held the Flaming Lord's Scepter in his hand and looked at it admiringly.
The scepter was made up of three parts: the tail ornament, the body, and the head. The body of the scepter was one meter long and was made of a special material that glowed red. Although it emitted a faint red light, it was warm to the touch and comfortable to hold in one's hand.
The tail ornament was embedded with an attributeless magic gem, which was obviously designed to be placed on the Flame Altar. The head of the scepter was carved with three fire dragons, and in the middle of the dragons was the heart of the Flaming Lord.
This was a special magic gem from the fire elemental world that contained a trace of fire magic. As long as this magic gem was present, the holder of the scepter would have the power to resist fire damage. However, the fire here referred to the normal flames of nature and not the elemental flames created by spells.
With this Flaming Lord's Scepter, Grimm had the power to bathe in a lava volcano.
After fiddling with it for a long time, Grimm reluctantly put it away in his storage belt. From now on, he could be considered to have a Wizard Tool that belonged solely to him. It was no wonder that the flower spirit kept such a good item. It was not compatible with its element!
After rummaging through the pile of gems for a while, Grimm pulled out two strange items. One was a purple vulcanized test tube with a mysterious potion, and the other was a magic book with a ghost's head drawn on it.
Grimm picked up the mysterious potion, pulled out the cork, and sniffed it. The pungent smell of fish and pepper made him frown. The test tube was filled with a purple magic potion. As Grimm shook it, it glowed with purple light.
Bloodline Strengthening Potion?
Grimm's eyes lit up. He dipped his finger into the purple potion and put it in his mouth. After a while, the A.I. Chip gave him an answer.
Bloodline Strengthening Potion!
This thing might not be of much use to Grimm, who was determined to walk the path of an Elemental Magus, but it was a priceless treasure for acolytes who walked the path of bloodlines like Mary. Its greatest value was that it could purify an Acolyte's bloodline, allowing them to take a step closer to the source of their bloodline.
Therefore, after confirming the composition of the potion, Grim poured it into Mary's mouth without hesitation. Anyway, Mary was relying on her sleep to digest the surging blood power from the flower spirit's body, which was also an evolution of her vampire talent. At this time, with some external help, it would undoubtedly make it easier for her to break through, and her strides would be bigger!
Devouring the blood of a powerhouse could effectively increase a Vampire's Life Level, and the Bloodline Strengthening Potion could stimulate a Vampire's talent to evolve again. The two complemented each other, and it was a huge boost for Mary. Therefore, after drinking the potion, Grimm could not help but rub his hands in anticipation.
He really wanted to know what Mary's strength and bloodline would look like after both of them were upgraded!
After dealing with the Bloodline Enhancement Potion, Grimm calmed himself down and started to analyze the book.
When Grimm's gaze fell on the gloomy ghost head on the cover of the book, a pale white fog spread out from the book, and the ghost head came to life in the fog.
It was the face of a gloomy ghost hidden in the shadows, and the expression on its face could never be seen clearly because of the fog. As Grimm furrowed his brows, a strange voice sounded in his heart.
"Upholding the will of the ancient times and the principle of equivalent exchange! Little fellow walking the path of a Magus, do you want to obtain the great and mysterious ancient knowledge? Then quickly open me! "
Grimm was slightly shocked.
He had heard of such books that had their own intelligence. Most of them were created by ancient Magi, and there was a high possibility that they contained some special spells or mysterious knowledge that no one knew about. Of course, it could also be a prank left behind by ancient Magi. Even official Magi had been fooled by it in a laughable fashion!
In order to open a book guarded by a demonic spirit, one had to follow the will of the book's owner and satisfy some of the evil interests of the demonic spirit. Therefore, it was a 'fair' trade that gambled on one's luck.
"Respected demonic spirit, if I want to read the contents of this book, what kind of price do I have to pay?" Grimm was not fooled by the demonic spirit's flowery words, and he calmly asked the most important question.
According to Grimm's knowledge, some apprentices who were not strong enough could not wait to open the demonic spirit's book after obtaining it. When they realized that the price of reading the book was too high for them to bear, it was already too late! Such unlucky people could not learn ancient spells, and instead, they had to pay with their precious lives.
Therefore, in the basic rules for apprentices, they had to be careful when they encountered otherworldly beings or demonic spirits. Once they fell into their trap or were forced into a contract, paying with their lives was not a big deal. What was more frightening was that their souls would become the enemy's spoils of war.
When it came to playing with souls, these demonic spirits were as powerful as Necromancers.
Perhaps realizing that his little trick had been seen through by the other party, the gloomy ghost face became listless.
"You really are a boring person. Don't you have the slightest desire for ancient spells and mysterious knowledge? Why are you so fussy about these boring questions! "
"Ancient demonic spirit, please answer my question!"
"Okay, okay. If you want to read this book, you'll have to pay 15 Constitution points …" The demon spirit's voice was getting lower and lower. In the end, it sounded like a kitten snoring. It was impossible to hear what it was saying.
Grimm suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and almost threw the demonic spirit book in his hand.
Damn it, it's 15 points of Constitution!
No wonder Hua Ling had never opened this book. Perhaps even she was reluctant to lose the precious 15 points of Constitution. Even Grimm only had 3 points of Constitution. If he accidentally opened the book, then the contract between him and the demonic spirit book would be established. If he could not fulfil the contract, he would definitely die on the spot and have his soul extracted!
Just as Grimm raised the demonic spirit book and was about to throw it to the corner of the cave to eat dirt, the A.I. Chip transmitted a set of data that stopped him from doing so.
The A.I. Chip magnified the data of the scene, and the vague last sentence of the demonic spirit book was clearly displayed.
"... Or replace it with something of equivalent value!"
This was the ancient Aymarian language, and it had been mixed up with the strangest of tones. Most of the people it communicated with had probably been tricked by this little trick.
Although the ancient sorcerers had enslaved demonic spirits to protect their inheritance of knowledge, they had set the most stringent rules for them. As long as someone could fulfill the reading requirement, the demonic spirit had to hand over the knowledge according to the sorcerer's will. However, no matter how strict the rules were, they could not resist the craftiness of the demonic spirit. This demonic spirit had actually found a loophole in the contract and raised the reading requirements to a shocking level. It had also hidden the most crucial terms of the contract.
Yes, even if the ancient Magus was reborn, he could not accuse the demonic spirit of violating the contract. It was clearly doing everything according to the contract with the ancient Magus! As for whether or not you can understand the ancient Aymarian language, it has nothing to do with the demonic spirit! It's just that your knowledge of magic is insufficient and you are not serious enough.
Grimm wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and spoke to the demonic face seriously, "Lord Demonic Spirit, please tell me what are the alternatives. I want to choose carefully!"
The demonic face in the book suddenly became enraged and roared fiercely at Grimm. However, Grimm had already seen through its true nature. He squinted his eyes and silently enjoyed its performance.
Seeing that his threats had no effect and his little trick had been seen through, the demonic spirit could only dejectedly state its true requirements. It knew that if it dragged on any longer, it would trigger the terrifying ancient contract.
"15 points of Constitution allows you to completely control this book. 8 points allows you to read everything in this book. 5 points allows you to read anything below the Magus rank. 3 points allows you to learn a specific spell. 1 point allows you to learn a random spell."
"Alternatives? I'm asking about alternatives! What kind of items can be used as alternatives? "Now it was Grimm's turn to interrogate the demonic spirit.
"Magic gems, magical materials, mysterious knowledge that has never been recorded in this book … Everything, as long as it's related to magic, can be used as an alternative. However, the quantity will be huge!"
"What about this?" Grimm tried to put an emerald on the book.
It was a giant emerald the size of a human heart. It would be worth at least 230 magic crystals in the Magus market.
"0.3 Constitution."
The demonic spirit's answer shocked Grimm.
If he calculated according to the basic value, then wouldn't 15 Constitution cost him almost 12000 magic crystals to completely control this book? Such a huge price might not be worth mentioning to a Magus, but it was an astronomical figure to a Magus apprentice who was in desperate need of resources.
Grimm's mouth twitched. He tilted his head and looked at the mountain of gems. Now, he felt that even a little more would not be enough for him to spend.
Grimm placed the book on the ground and began to pile magic gems on top of it. Every time he placed a gem, the demon spirit would report a small number.
Shadow Stone, Tiger's Eye Stone, Peacock Stone, Green Agate, Lesser Moonstone, Jade, Topaz, Turquoise, Ruby, Cat's Eye Stone, Sapphire, Giant Emerald, Blue Moonstone, Fire Garnet, Draenor Diamond, Dawn Stone, Red Obsidian, Topaz …
