The contents of the contract made Grimm speechless.
How … How is this possible?
But after thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
After all, most Wizards' bodies were similar to some magical beasts when they leveled up.
However, Wizards were the cornerstone of the Wizard World's civilization. They were the only ones who enslaved and contracted magical beasts. There had never been a case of a Wizard being contracted by a magical beast.
What was this Flame Tiger trying to do?
Just as Grimm's eyes gradually became cold and he was about to release the terrifying Balrog in his arms, the Flaming Tiger seemed to have seen through his actions and sneered, "Just now when you said that you would bring me to your Wizard Tower, you seemed so excited. Hehe, do you think I'm stupid enough to not know that the Wizard's Pagoda is the most powerful tool of war for you Wizards? Once I enter the Wizard's Pagoda, I'll become a fish on your chopping board. In order to protect myself, there shouldn't be a problem with signing a slave contract, right? "
Facing such a cunning fox-like Flaming Tiger, Grimm could only put away all his intentions of deceiving and deceiving it, and treat it seriously with sincerity.
Intelligent life forms … Any intelligent life form in any region had a mind that was not inferior to a Wizard's. Most of the time, they were too lazy or cruel. It was not that their brains were not good, but their instincts drove them to use the most direct and energy saving method of 'communication'.
However, communicating with them was also a rather troublesome matter for the wizards. Because of their different survival styles, different races, different ways of thinking, different interests … Many differences led to completely different ways of thinking. When these two individuals sat together to discuss a problem, 'negotiation' was naturally not as good as' fists'.
Unfortunately, Grimm would never accept such a magical contract!
He would rather die than be humiliated!
Even though Grimm cherished his life, he had not reached the point where he had no bottom line. Moreover, through his spiritual force perception and the A.I. Chip's scan, Grimm did not sense any hostility from the flaming tiger. Rather than saying that the magical contract was a guarantee for his life, it would be more accurate to say that the Flame Tiger was trying to bargain with him.
At the very least, under the ferocious pressure of the enemy, the flaming tiger's projection in Grimm's mind was still white.
White represented neutrality.
Red represented hostility. The deeper the hostility, the more glaring the color would be.
Green represented friendliness, and similarly, the darker the color, the friendlier it was.
The information gathered by the A.I. Chip indicated that the aura emitted by the flaming tiger was infinitely close to neutral. This also meant that the other party didn't have any malicious intent to kill him. Their ferocious appearances were just a way to force him to submit.
In all honesty, the other party probably did not expect an unremarkable human Tier 2 Magus to be able to penetrate the life force field's protection and determine the other party's true intentions by scanning the emotional spectrum.
With the help of the A.I. Chip, Grimm became calm and unperturbed, his heart filled with confidence.
After 5 hours of 'bargaining', Grimm and the flaming tiger finally reached a mutual agreement.
Grimm helped the rank 3 Flaming Tiger Sindar escape the attention of the Sorcerer World Will and sneak into the Sorcerer World. As for the Rank 3 Flame Tiger, Sindar, he needed to help Grim kill the Rank 2 Lord of the Flames, Artes.
Originally, Grim had thought that he could intimidate Flaming Tiger by revealing the identity of the Tier 2 Flame Lord, Artes. Unfortunately, when Flaming Tiger heard that Arthez's master was the Tier 5 Flame Monarch Gromes, he only revealed a disdainful sneer.
This made Grim even more confused about Flame Tiger Sindar's background!
After spending half an hour chanting the incantation, Grimm and the rank 3 Flaming Tiger finally completed the magic contract. The golden contract floated in mid-air, continuously extracting the souls of Grimm and the rank 3 Flaming Tiger as collateral. Once any party violated the contract, these pledged souls would be annihilated.
For this cooperative contract, Grimm had pledged 2/3 of his soul, while the rank 3 Flaming Tiger Sindar had only paid a fingernail-sized portion. This was actually a sign of the huge difference in strength between the two parties.
To be honest, this cooperation contract was more restrictive on Grim than anything else.
If Grimm violated the contract, half of his soul would be destroyed in one go. Even if he was a rank 2 Magus, he would die instantly from such an injury. As for the rank 3 Flaming Tiger Sindar, it only paid a small price. With its strength, even if it was punished by the contract, it would only cause a headache. It was far from killing it or turning it into an idiot.
There was no helping it. This was the biggest difference between the strong and the weak.
A single hair of the rank 3 Flaming Tiger was thicker than Grimm's waist. For the same contract, Grimm would have to sacrifice almost all of his life to be compared to a single hair from nine oxen.
In terms of strength, no matter how many magic tools he had, it would not change the huge and despair-inducing difference in strength between the two parties.
However, after the contract was signed, Grimm was able to avoid the fate of being enslaved by the other party. Although the strength of the two parties was not equal, they were equal individuals in terms of the law of the contract.
Grimm made it very clear that the reason he came to the Fire Elemental Plane was to kill Lord Artes. Only by completing the mission would he have the chance to return to the Magus World. If Sindar wanted to return to the Magus World as soon as possible, helping Grimm complete the mission was the best choice.
In response to Grimm's request, Flaming Tiger Sindar curled its lips and disappeared into the sea of flames without hesitation. Before leaving, it only left a few words.
"When you want to return to the Magus World, find a random sea of flames and shout my name three times. I will find you!"
Hearing Flaming Tiger Sindar's words, Grimm was shocked.
Shouting its name three times into the sea of flames and it would be able to sense it? This … Why did it sound like the power of law? Could it be …
With Grimm's identity as a rank 2 Fire Magus, he could be considered a decent combatant in the Magus World. However, once he stepped out of the plane, he would discover that there were too many unfathomable and incomprehensible mysteries in the higher dimensional planes.
It was no wonder that the Magus World set the minimum rank for a Magus to explore the outside world at rank 5. There was a reason for this. Although Magi below rank 5 felt that they were powerful individuals, there were still many uncontrollable risks in the process of exploring the outside world.
Hence, Grimm had to be extremely cautious when exploring the outside world. He could not put himself in an awkward situation where his life was at the mercy of fate again!
Grimm found a quiet place to deal with the problem of his origin flame. No matter what methods he used, he could not find any traces of the rank 3 Flaming Tiger. However, he had a feeling that the fellow was not far away and was still spying on him.
This was actually a common problem for elemental creatures!
The concept of time was extremely lacking in their minds. They would always do things slowly, not caring about the passage of time at all. Hence, Grimm's idea of using time to threaten the rank 3 Flaming Tiger would not work. The Flaming Tiger did not care whether it could come to the Magus World tomorrow or the year after.
Time in the Elemental Plane seemed to stand still!
All of this was obviously related to the ancient lifespan of elemental creatures.
Despite using all sorts of methods, he still could not find any traces of the Flaming Tiger. Left with no choice, Grimm once again set out on his journey, heading straight for the lair of the rank 2 Flame Lord Artes.
… …
Fiery Dust Canyon.
This was a barren land filled with fire and dust.
On the vast wasteland, there was a huge canyon that ran through both ends. It was dark and gloomy, filled with dust and pillars of fire that occasionally shot out from the cracks in the walls. It was almost impossible to see what was going on inside from the outside.
There was an ancient city in the depths of Fiery Dust Canyon. There were one to two hundred thousand Flaming Beasts residing there, all of them intelligent creatures with their own intelligence. Even though the people here were a bit simple and violent, and their intelligence wasn't as cunning and crafty as humans, it was already enough to construct a complete and primitive city of flames.
Hence, as soon as he entered the Fiery Dust Canyon, the number of Flaming Beasts that Grimm encountered increased.
After this period of time, Grimm had already mastered the technique of disguising himself as a Flaming Beast.
First of all, the disguised Fire Spirit could not be too small.
Although the strength of high-tier Flaming Beasts was not measured by their size, among the low-tier Flaming Beasts, the larger they were, the stronger the Flame Energy within their bodies. As long as Grimm's Fire Spirit was large enough, the low-tier Flaming Beasts would flee at the mere sight of him. They would not dare to disturb or cause trouble.
Secondly, the disguised Fire Spirit could not be too active.
The Fire Elemental Plane was actually a very dull and boring place. All the Flaming Beasts here had a slow and sluggish pace, wandering between different regions almost all year round.
Only when they gained sentience in the core of the flame could they break away from the primitive state of chaos and realize the difference between themselves and others.
This was reflected in the characteristics and physical characteristics of most Flaming Beasts. They were unprecedentedly 'dull' and 'dull'!
Even those intelligent creatures that had developed their own intelligence were inferior to humans in terms of soul activity and cunning use of their intelligence.
