Within Molten Fire City.
A small welcoming banquet was being held in full swing …
Grim and the sealer who had just arrived were undoubtedly the main characters of the banquet, and they were warmly welcomed by the higher-ups of Molten Fire City.
Unlike previous banquets, this welcoming banquet was held in a large stone hall. Most of the participants were rank 2 and 3 Magi.
The three vice city lords of Molten Fire City had all revealed themselves, but one of them was a projection spell.
Caylac, male, rank 3, Elemental Magus (Venom) … He was tall and skinny, with a dark green gem embedded in the middle of his forehead.
Linus, male, rank 3, Body Tempering Magus … He was a tall and sturdy bald man with a large golden sword on his back.
Dorian, male, rank 3, Magic Circle Master … He had a gloomy expression, and his exposed body was engraved with strange, brightly-coloured runes.
It was obvious that Magus Linus was not in Molten Fire City. He had only used a projection spell to create a body to attend this banquet.
As for the rank 3 sealer who had rushed over from the southern region of Alathia, she was a middle-aged female Magus with a gloomy expression. She had triangular eyes and a bulbous nose. Her entire appearance was unsightly. This was especially surprising to Grim.
After all, with the methods of Magi, whether it was organ transplants or regrown limbs, they were not troublesome matters. Changing one's physique and appearance was a piece of cake. It was as easy as reaching out one's hand.
As such, none of the male or female Magi that Grim had seen so far had particularly ugly appearances.
Only those whose bodies had been severely contaminated by spells, and their souls had been damaged, would have an appearance that was unacceptable to others.
However, Grim did not sense any artificial modifications on this rank 3 sealer.
This also meant that her current appearance was her original appearance.
However, Grim did not have any prejudice towards this. After all, there were too many unconventional people among Magi. The more unconventional a person was, the more frightening they would be.
This meant that all the success she had achieved so far was due to her own hard work and strength. There were no tricks involved.
* Clap clap clap … *
Wizard Caylac clapped his hands a few times, and all the wizards in the banquet hall stopped talking and focused their attention on him.
"Today, we have the honor of inviting the legendary Wizard Grim from the Elobis region and the powerful Wizard Unide from the Alathia region. Let us give them a warm round of applause!"
Thunderous applause immediately rang out in the hall.
Grimm took a step forward with a smile on his face. He looked around, raised the cup in his hand, and drained it in one gulp before returning to his original position.
There was not the slightest smile on the face of Witch Yunid. She raised her glass and touched it to her lips, which was considered a greeting.
Inside the hall, Molten City's Tier 2 Magi numbered around 30 as well. Every one of them wore astonished expressions as they observed the two Tier 3 Magi from afar. Their gazes lingered on the Legendary Fire Wizard Grim for the longest time.
Although the Elobis region was hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from Molten City, almost everyone present had heard of the rumor that a Tier 2 Magus had killed a Tier 3 Magus in the arena.
To put it bluntly, at this moment, the name of this Legendary rank 3 Fire Wizard was even more popular than some Tier 4 Magi. It was even more shocking!
Now that this fellow had advanced to the Third Order, how strong would he be now?
To be honest, many of the Magi present were very curious and could not wait to find out.
However, in a situation like this, no one dared to ask him directly. They could only suppress their curiosity and wait for the results to be revealed in the future.
High-ranked Magi gatherings were much simpler and more direct than low-ranked Magi gatherings.
After the simple introductions and exchanges, everyone could go about their own business.
Some Magi who were worried about their own experiments or had specific duties in Molten City left quietly. Under Wizard Kyrak's invitation, Grim and Unid turned around and went to another secret room that was even quieter and more secluded.
Here, Wizard Dorian gave them a detailed and comprehensive introduction of the flaming tiger.
When Wizard Dorian finished his report, Wizard Kellac couldn't help but turn his face to Grim.
"Lord Grim, you've already stepped on the Lava Sea yesterday. Do you think it's suitable to be our battlefield?"
Grim's eyes couldn't help but slightly squint. After thinking for a moment, he gently shook his head.
"The Lava Sea that Wizard Freya brought me to had a temperature of more than 3,400 degrees, and the pressure of the magma was as high as 212 degrees. I might not have any problems moving around in there, but if it was someone else, even the few of you here, I'm afraid they wouldn't even last an hour … "
After hearing Grim's words, the three vice city lords of Molten City exchanged glances.
"After we reached an agreement with the two of you, we came up with a hunting plan …" Caylac said slowly.
"Oh? Why don't you say it! "Yunid's sharp voice sounded.
"We plan on setting up a trap near the underground mine to lure the flaming tiger into an ambush … Once it falls into an ambush, Lord Dorian will be able to use the Runic Magus Array buried in the mine to instantly disperse all the flames within a radius of a kilometer. At that time, Ms. Yunid can take the opportunity to seal it … "
"Then what should I do?" Grim asked with a frown.
"Of course, you need to hide in the Lava Sea first. Once the Flame Tiger falls into an ambush, we will be responsible for killing it. You need to block its escape route and not let it escape into the Lava Sea! "
Grim's brows furrowed again.
As the person in charge, he arranged for the few of them to be together so they could look after each other. Yunid would also hide in the dark and only appear when the Flame Tiger had nowhere to run. This way, it seemed like all the risks were on his head.
Once the Flame Tiger fell into an ambush, it would definitely try its best to escape into the Lava Sea.
Blocking the Flame Tiger's path … Hehe, what a good mission!
Grim stroked his chin and chuckled coldly, his face full of dissatisfaction.
"Lord Grim, if the mission is successful, we can add an additional 100 kilograms of Kellas Ore to your mission reward."
100 kilograms of Kellas Ore? If it was refined into Kellas Alloy, it might not even be enough to create half a Space Furnace, not to mention the costly Magic Furnace.
Grim finally stopped smiling and said with a straight face, "Lord Kyrak, that's a Grade 3 Flame Tiger we're talking about! If we force it into a dead end, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it alone … If it escapes, I won't be able to bear the consequences! "
Kyrak's expression turned awkward. His lips moved slightly, and after discussing with the other two deputy city lords, he turned back to Grim.
"How about this … Molten City will send you two more Grade 2 Fire Wizards and have them listen to your orders. If it's successful, we … we're willing to pay 170 kilograms of Kellas Ore! "
At this point, Grim knew that this was the other party's bottom line. He could only nod in agreement helplessly.
"The time will be the day after tomorrow. Lord Dorian will arrange the runic spell formation as soon as possible. Once the trap is set up, we'll act according to the plan and see if that Flame Tiger will fall for it … "
… …
In Flame Tiger Sindar's lair.
While Molten City was secretly plotting out the details, Lord Kyrak would never have guessed that everything that happened in the secret room had already been projected by the Fire Clone using the soul brand.
Sindar lay prone on a pile of metal ore, watching the scene in the secret room projected by the Fire Clone with great interest. He also heard the contents of the Magi's discussion.
Although he was full of confidence in his fire abilities, after listening to the arrangements of the human Magi, Sindar's heart was filled with fear.
If … If he didn't know about all this, and was lured into a trap by the other party using the ore as bait, the chances of him escaping from the encirclement of five Grade 3 Magi was almost zero!
These were not five cabbages, but five Grade 3 Magi!
To be honest, that Talisman Formation Master alone had already injured Sindar with his strange witchcraft ability.
This caused Sindar, who had always looked down on human Magi, to be overwhelmed with shock.
He had to admit that human Magi were much weaker than powerful elemental creatures in terms of physique and control over elemental power. However, in terms of battle techniques and sinister methods, they were more than ten streets ahead of elemental creatures.
At this moment, suddenly hearing the other party's sinister plan, even this strange Flame Tiger, who feared neither the heavens nor the earth, could not help but want to slip away.
"You heard it too. Those fellows have arranged such a terrifying trap at the mine. I think … We should temporarily cancel our plans! I … I can run to other places and play for a few years. When they lose their patience, I'll run back! "Flame Tiger Sindar said hesitantly.
Hearing the words of his temporary ally, the Fire Clone was speechless.
However, he had a new understanding of how difficult it was to deal with flame creatures!
Indeed, the plan that Sindar thought of was undoubtedly the most convenient and the most speechless. However, it was obviously not in line with Grimm's interests, so he could only reject it.
"Sindar, don't you believe in my brain? Don't worry, I will definitely come up with a perfect plan to make their plans fail. As for us … We can make a huge profit and escape far away! "Grimm could only use his silver tongue to persuade this cunning Flame Tiger.
