It seemed like the remnant soul of the level 8 Lord of Flames had not given up!
Grimm hesitated for a moment, but he still opened a crack on the Wizard's Pagoda, allowing the mental ripples to enter.
"Lad, you're really ruthless. You've been gone for so long!" The mental ripples barged in and started complaining.
"Great Lord Guman Reis, if there's nothing else, I won't receive you! I'm very busy here … "Grim's expression was extremely cold.
"Lad, I smell the aura of a Divinity Fragment on you again … How strange. Your power isn't that great, so why do you always get such unimaginable high-level resources … Tsk tsk tsk …"
"I got them by risking my life on the Dimensional Battlefield! Alright, if there's nothing else, I need to rest! "
"Wait …" The remnant soul of Guman Reis could not help but say, "Lad, think about it again. As long as you're willing to offer me a Divinity Fragment, I can give you some benefits that you'll never expect …"
"Lord, are you always full of empty promises?" Grim sneered as he took out a Shard of Divinity from his pocket and tossed it in the air. The translucent crystal reflected a dazzling light in the air. "If you want to trade, why don't you list what you have? As long as it's suitable, I'll naturally trade with you. There's no need to be so hesitant! "
The remnant soul of Guman Reis suddenly paused, and his mental ripples lingered on the Divinity Fragment for a long time before he returned to normal.
"My main body no longer exists, and my soul has been shattered and scattered across the entire Fire Elemental Plane. My Divine Kingdom is also gone … But as the former Lord of Flames, I did leave some good things behind. Those things … Just the Divinity Fragment in your hands is … "
Before he finished speaking, the remnant soul of Guman Reis was stunned. He saw Grimm take out a second Divinity Fragment, and his mental consciousness wavered slightly.
"This is still not enough …"
Then, the Divinity Fragment in Grimm's hands became three.
However, a hint of impatience appeared on Grimm's face.
The remnant soul of Guman Reis knew that if he did not take out something that could attract Grimm's attention, he would be chased out the next moment.
"Your things are still not enough! However, I can let you see the goods on my side first … "
Following the emergence of a special mental fluctuation, the image of a slowly rotating object was projected in the void.
This was an exquisite cloak woven purely from the feathers of a fiery red bird. Pure and pure magical flames flowed on the cloak. Its appearance was exquisite and dazzling.
"[Sunflame Cape] (Tier 6 Magic Item) Woven from the tail feathers of a high-tiered Undying Bird. Comes with a Flame Feather Barrier and a Flame Halo. Base Defense 50,000. Reflects 20% of all attacks. Furthermore, it has a portion of the magical characteristics of a godly item like the Phoenix of Immortality. It can allow the owner of the item to experience the joy of rebirth! "Gumman Reis introduced softly.
Grim could not help but suck in a cold breath.
What a powerful fire attribute treasure!
Not only was its basic defense extremely high, but it could also reflect part of the enemy's attack. More importantly, with it, one could avoid death once a day. All in all, the price-performance ratio was quite high!
However, Gumman Reis was once a Tier 8 Lord, yet he had only taken out a Tier 6 item. Clearly, this was not enough to satisfy Grim.
"Great Lord Gumman Reis … Don't you have any Tier 7 or 8 items to show me?" Grim asked, dissatisfied.
"Tier 7 or 8?" Gumman Reis was stunned. "Kid, don't tell me you think Tier 7 or 8 items are everywhere? Even I only possessed a rank 8 treasure and three rank 7 treasures all those years ago …. "
"Then take it out and let us see!" Grim urged.
To be honest, Grimm had never seen anything above Grade 6 before!
"But most of those items were destroyed in the final battle. Even if there were some that survived, the Flame Monarchs had already divided them among themselves. How could they have survived? "
"So this Flaming Sun Cloak of yours was also a lie?"
"No, I didn't. Instead, a small part of my shattered Divine Kingdom turned into a super-small Demiplane, and it barely survived. That's why I have some stock! "
"That's good, then. How are you going to trade? I'll give you the three Divinity Fragments, and you'll give me the Sunflame Cape? "
"This … We might need to negotiate!" Gumman Reis's Remnant Soul suddenly shivered, as if he could not bring himself to talk about this topic.
"What do you mean?"
"There's still an Ancient Red Dragon that survived in the fragment of my Divine Kingdom, and it's currently occupying that Demiplane. So, if you want that cloak, maybe … maybe … probably … you'll have to get past the Ancient Red Dragon! "
"Ancient Red Dragon? What level? "Grim was shocked when he heard this.
"Level 7!"
"Goodbye!" Grim blocked the mental ripples of Gumman Reis's Remnant Soul without hesitation, and he closed the outer defenses of the Wizard's Pagoda.
A Level 7 Ancient Red Dragon was guarding there … F * ck, if he went, he would just be sending himself to the dragon's death!
As for why there was a Level 7 Ancient Red Dragon in Gumman Reis's Divine Kingdom, it was not strange. As someone who wanted to become a god, it was inevitable for him to gather a few high-level fighters.
That Ancient Red Dragon was most likely his dragon pet!
However, Gumman Reis was Level 8, while the Ancient Red Dragon was Level 7. There was a great disparity in their statuses, and this was why the dragon was so submissive and respectful. Now, their statuses were reversed, and Gumman Reis was only left with a wisp of his Remnant Soul. How could he enslave and control a Level 7 Ancient Red Dragon?
Thus, losing control of a dragon pet was something that could be easily imagined.
Gumman Reis's Remnant Soul that was blocked was still persistently trying to communicate with Grim, but Grim ignored it.
This wisp of Remnant Soul definitely had many good things in its hands, and it would not take them out unless it was forced to the brink of death. Thus, Grim had to slowly torture Gumman Reis's Remnant Soul like how he tormented an eagle.
Anyway, Grim had a lot of time, and he did not mind spending several hundred years to play with it slowly!
After kicking Gumman Reis away, Grim went straight to the Magical Prison within the Wizard's Pagoda. There was a "prisoner" that he was very interested in locked up here!
In a dark and gloomy Magical Prison, the Dragon Lich Trueman was tied up on a crimson metal pillar. Chains made of Gold Essence pierced through his shoulder blades, collarbone, ribs, and limbs, and they were even burning with strange golden flames.
The Inextinguishable Flame burned its body and soul every day, and when it was on its last breath, the Inextinguishable Flame would pause and replenish it with some magical energy. Thus, the Dragon Lich's powerful self-healing abilities would allow him to recover.
Then, the next round of torture would begin!
This was a horrifying torture that was repeated over and over again. It was going on almost every second of the day.
It had been more than a decade since Grim brought the Dragon Lich Trueman here from the Gale Dimension. In this period of time, Grim had not interrogated or interrogated him even once. He had simply left him here and left him to fend for himself.
Thus, when Grim once again stood before the Dragon Lich, he was on the verge of a mental breakdown, his entire "person" half-crazy!
It could not be helped. Even an intelligent being would not be able to withstand this endless and terrifying torture.
In the past, the Dragon Lich Trueman had thought that he was very important, and was prepared to fight to the end for his beliefs. Who would have thought that the other party would throw him aside, ignoring him for more than a decade, only torturing him.
This kind of carelessness and laziness was what terrified Trueman the most!
"Have you made up your mind? Hand over your phylactery, and I'll let you go. I'll even give you a considerable amount of freedom. If you dare to refuse, I'll come back to see you after a hundred years … "Grim asked nonchalantly, looking as if he would turn around and leave if he dared to refuse.
Trueman could not take it anymore!
He was an undead creature, and it was easy for him to live for tens of thousands of years. If he was really tortured by the other party for that long, what was the point of him reviving into a Dragon Lich!
The Dragon Lich Trueman finally lowered his head in pain.
Under Grim's strict supervision, the Dracolich Trueman dejectedly cast a spell to open an alternate dimension, then took out his phylactery from inside.
This was a purple box embedded with various magical gems, with all sorts of strange and mysterious magical patterns and runes drawn on it. Even through the transparent barrier formed by layers of stacked magic force fields and magic barriers, Lin Li could still sense the faint and rhythmic soul aura inside.
The Dragon Lich Trueman knelt on the ground, holding up the phylactery with both hands and presenting it to Grim.
Grim took it and scanned it with the A.I. Chip, confirming its authenticity before carefully putting it away. He then gathered a thread of red light on his fingertip, and wrote a flame rune on Trueman's forehead. He nodded in satisfaction as he watched the rune slowly etch into Trueman's flesh.
With the Lich's phylactery as a 'hostage', and with the flame brand, Grim was finally at ease with the Dragon Lich.
"This Wizard's Pagoda is in the Fire Elemental Plane, and it's not suitable for you to live in for a long time. That's why I've arranged another place for you. I'll send you to the Wizard World later, and you'll go there to help Mary take control of the Crimson Family and the Horton Academy! Also, bring these items to Mary on the way, and tell her that they're gifts from me! "Saying this, Grim waved his hand, and a few items floated in front of the Dragon Lich Trueman.
A Divinity Fragment, ten points of divinity, a thousand Divine Force Crystals, a level 6 Divine Bow 'Ancient Guardian' Ludilore, a level 5 Divine Weapon, Boots of Evasion, and a level 5 Death Strike Bracer …
Looking at the top-notch treasures and resources before him, the Dragon Lich Trueman licked his lips greedily. This was the first time he felt the extravagance of this unfamiliar master.
F * ck, is this something a level 5 human Wizard should have? If you were willing to give me any of these items, I would have surrendered long ago …
