Armes the Thunder Dragon.
As a Grade 3 Thunder Dragon that had joined Grimm's side in the middle of the war, Armes was young and powerful.
However, ever since he allied himself with the humans, he had been completely ostracized by the dragons of Lance and could no longer mingle with them.
On the other hand, Armes did not want to join the human Magi either.
Therefore, without anyone to rely on, it became a loner, a wandering ghost, guarding a huge territory, but living a muddle-headed life.
It was said that the ambitious Emerald Dragon Redina had quarreled with him many times because of this, and a huge rift had formed between them.
If the Crimson Family could use some means to upgrade Armes to Tier 4, the addition of a Tier 4 Dragon would elevate the Crimson Family's overall strength to a whole new level. However, in terms of loyalty, Thunder Dragon Armes couldn't compare to Draconian Zacha.
However, Zachary was only a Grade 2 Thunder Dragon, far weaker than Armes. Using divine force crystals on Zachary would definitely not be as effective. Moreover, Zachary was a pure-blooded dragon, while Zachary was a mixed-blood servant. The difference in strength between the two was even greater.
After a moment of hesitation, Grimm finally contacted Armes, the Romantic Dragon in the distant plane of Lance.
A magic screen slowly opened up, showing a strange scene on the other side.
The other side of the screen was a cave on a high mountain. Through the screen, Grimm saw Armes, whom he had not seen for a long time.
His scales were still as dazzling as ever, his claws, teeth, and horns as sharp as ever. His body was still as imposing and imposing as ever, but he seemed to be extremely dispirited. He lay lazily on the stone floor, and even when he raised his head to greet Grimm, he seemed to have no energy left in him.
"What … happened to you?" Grimm could not help but hesitate.
"Redina wants to leave me …" A pained expression appeared on Armes' long and narrow face, "She thinks I'm useless. She hates me for being laughed at by the other dragons. She hates me for not being able to build a magnificent dragon cliff for her … She wants to leave me!"
Grim's face was filled with shock.
He really didn't expect to see a dejected giant dragon hiding in its nest, secretly crying and blaming itself, in his lifetime. In the eyes of the ignorant commoners, he was a powerful and enviable being, a great lord.
However, this was also good. The worse the other party's situation was, the more they needed his help, and the easier the negotiation would be!
Grim wasn't someone who liked to talk nonsense.
He pointed a finger at the screen, and it focused on a pile of strange crystals that shone with a faint blue luster in front of him.
On the other side of the light barrier, Lightning Dragon Armes' eyes immediately widened, and it crawled up from the ground before making its way over to the light barrier and sniffing with all its might.
"The smell of the Laws … I can smell the Law of Lightning from them … This … This is the crystallization of divine power. You, no, where did you get them? " Armes' spirit was immediately roused, and his huge dragon eyes shone with expectation. He put on a servile look, as if he was trying to please Gu Xijiu but was afraid that he would say something wrong.
"Don't worry about where they came from. Let me ask you, are they useful to you?"
"Yes … They're useful … They're definitely useful …" Armes immediately roared, "With these crystallization of divine power and the resources I've collected over the years, reaching grade 4 in two hundred years won't be a problem!"
Sure enough, the lifespan of the Dragon Race was extremely long. Even a natural advancement would easily take one or two hundred years. Perhaps by the time it successfully advanced to Level 4, the weaker Level 1 Sorcerers in the Sorcerer World would have already been replaced.
"Two hundred years?" Grimm was speechless. This was the first time he experienced how difficult it was for a dragon to advance.
The rules of the world were still fair!
Dragons had strong bodies, outstanding magic resistance, great divine power, powerful spellcasting ability, and unparalleled melee ability. They had so much, but they also had to lose something.
It was extremely difficult for them to grow stronger, and it was even more difficult for them to reproduce.
It was precisely these two factors that limited the number of the Dragon Race, preventing them from overflowing and becoming a destroyer that broke the balance of the world!
"Master, I've signed a mutual aid contract with you. I'm completely worthy of your trust. You … You see, these crystallization of divine power … "
Grimm's face was expressionless, "We did sign a mutual aid contract. But once you reach grade 4, your spiritual force will definitely be stronger than mine. Will this contract still be able to restrict you? How do you think I should trust you? "
"Master, I'm already a member of your family. Don't you trust me? Besides, there's someone else in the family with this lightning element … "Armes was halfway through his sentence when he saw the image of a dragonman Grimm had conjured with his flames.
Armes immediately closed his eyes in pain, but he was still struggling.
"Master, Zacha is only grade 2. Even with the help of these crystallization of divine power, it'll still be difficult for him to reach grade 4. Besides, dragonmen can't be compared to real dragons in any other aspect except for their melee ability and some insignificant elemental spells … "
The light screen in front of him changed again, and a huge corpse of a divine creature that contained traces of holy aura appeared. Looking at the corpse that was still filled with a majestic aura and sensing the wisps of holy aura, Armes' words came to an abrupt halt, and he fell into a state of despair and sluggishness.
What did Grimm do … How did he get the corpse of a divine creature? Judging from the corpse's completeness and the strength of its aura, he was definitely a terrifying creature at the peak of grade 4 when he was alive!
As long as Grimm threw caution to the wind, with the corpse of this divine creature and the crystallization of divine power, even if Zacha's aptitude and talent were poor, he would still be able to reach grade 4.
This time, he no longer had any leeway to bargain with Grimm!
Armes' face revealed a pained expression.
After dealing with Grimm for so many years, he naturally knew what he wanted. But to hand over his freedom and life to Grimm for a 'trifling' bit of crystallization of divine power … This made him feel a little pained and unwilling!
However, he also knew that if he missed this opportunity, it would be extremely difficult for him to obtain these 'trifling' bits of crystallization of divine power. It might even be impossible.
If he led a team of dragons to plunder other planes, he would not be able to obtain such crystals. If he chose to follow those grade 4 dragons to plunder other planes, even if he obtained such spoils of war, they would only belong to the great dragon lords.
He would not be able to lay a finger on them.
Hence, this level of crystallization of divine power that was completely compatible with his origin was something that could only be found by chance. If he missed this opportunity, he would regret it for the next ten thousand years!
After struggling in pain for a moment, Armes finally raised his head and stared at Grimm with his pale blue eyes. He said word by word, "Give me the corpse and the crystallization of divine power, and I'll sign a dragon soul contract with you."
Ordinary dragon contracts already had a lot of restraints on dragons, and a contract that used a dragon soul as a template was even more terrifying. Such a contract was equivalent to the Giant Dragon handing over its life to an outsider.
With just a thought, the outsider could decide its life or death.
This … To the proud and arrogant pure-blooded dragons, this was simply unimaginable.
Grimm raised an eyebrow, but his expression remained calm. "I'll give you half of the corpse at most … I have other uses for the other half, I can't give it all to you."
The struggle on Armes' face made him look a little sinister.
"Half it is then … But I want a real dragon cliff!"
"That's not a problem!"
"I want the best!" Armes snorted a thick black smoke out of his nostrils. "I want the best!" he growled.
"That's even more of a problem! I can order the Gargamel to open the treasury of the family and build you the largest, most luxurious, and most jewelled dragon cliff in Lance. I guarantee you'll become the brightest star among the grade 4 dragons! "
Hearing Grimm's promise, Armes felt a little better.
With the divine force crystal, his control over the law of lightning would undoubtedly reach a whole new level. With that half of the god's corpse, its Lightning Dragon Bloodline would undoubtedly be greatly nourished. At that time, not to mention advancing to the Fourth Order, even advancing to the Fifth Order would have a slight possibility of advancing!
Armes had another thought hidden in the depths of his heart.
If … If he could reach grade 5 before Grimm, the dragon soul contract would no longer be invulnerable!
… …
If it was any other wizard, they would definitely not be willing to give the corpse of a grade 4 god to an outsider.
As long as they used certain methods, they could transfer the special immortal properties of the corpse to their own bodies. However, Grimm was an elemental wizard, so his desire for an immortal body was not as strong as that of a body refinement wizard.
As for why he forcefully snatched half of the corpse from Armes' mouth, it was not for himself, but for an 'elder' of the Crimson family who was worth investing in.
Perhaps when that fellow grew stronger, he would be able to surprise him.
