Molten Fire City, in a secret stone room.
After sending off Grim and Unid, Cayrac turned around and returned to the secret room.
Wizard Alfred, on the other hand, was deep in thought with his brows furrowed.
"My Lord, I have mishandled this matter. Please punish me!" Kailak had a vexed expression as he admitted his mistake.
Wizard Alfred waved his hand and interrupted impatiently, "Of course it's your fault. It's just an elemental beast. Even though it's a bit cunning, do you think we can't handle it with the power of Molten City? Why would we let you go to the Wind of Freedom and let everyone know about it? You even brought two unknown people into Molten City … "
Cayrac quickly lowered his head to accept the lesson.
"Hmph, even if the mine is affected, it's just a little less resource income … But what if these two guys are spies sent by someone else? If the secret experiments I've placed in the upper levels of Molten City are leaked, can you bear the responsibility?"
"My Lord, I didn't issue the mission the normal way because I was worried about spies. Instead, I personally found two suitable candidates. I've already checked their backgrounds, and there's nothing wrong … "
"Nothing wrong?" Wizard Alfred laughed coldly, "If there's nothing wrong, why would they cause such a huge commotion? Even our resource warehouse was robbed?"
"This … My Lord, you mean … there's something wrong with these two?"
"There's nothing wrong with the witch, but there might be something wrong with the wizard! I have a feeling that his motives are not simple. It's as if he's up to something. But I didn't find anything wrong with him. Otherwise, why would I let him leave alive … "
Cayrac was stunned and whispered, "My Lord, why don't I send someone to investigate him?"
Alfred thought for a moment and shook his head, "That's fine! The experiments in the Wizard's Pagoda are nearing completion and need someone to protect them. I can't leave for now. Send someone to spread the news and buy some Eternium Ore at a high price. See if he has any reaction … "
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!"
"Hmph, if it's really him, I'll personally uproot his family and make him regret everything he's done in Molten City today!"
…
A month later, Grimm successfully returned to the Flame Monarch's Wizard Pagoda.
He had just entered the Wizard's Pagoda when he impatiently dismissed the crowd and arrived in front of the Flame Altar alone. He waved his hand and lit up the Symbol Formation Hub at the top of the altar.
As strange flame ripples spread in the air, Grimm stretched out his right index finger and made a cut on his left palm. Crimson blood flowed out of the cut and dripped onto the flame ripples.
With the guidance of this drop of Origin Blood, the Flame Altar brought his consciousness across millions of miles in an instant, arriving at a certain place in the underground lava sea.
In the next second, as the Flame Altar trembled slightly, a dark red void rift suddenly opened above the altar, and two figures of different sizes emerged from it.
It was Flame Tiger Sindar and his fire doppelganger that had been roaming around the bottom of the lava sea!
"Kid, after holding it in for so long, you can finally divide the spoils now!" Flame Tiger Sindar shouted impatiently as soon as he came out of the void crack.
Yang Ling had to admit that Flame Tiger Sindar was trustworthy as an ally.
Grimm's fire doppelganger was only at the middle level of level two. Even after following him for so long, it did not directly try to snatch the Storage Ring. This made Grimm especially satisfied.
The fire doppelganger came to Grimm's side, took out the Storage Ring from its mouth, and threw it into his hand. It then knocked into his body and merged with him once again.
Grimm pinched the Storage Ring and smiled. With a light wave, the items inside instantly filled the secret room.
There were close to a hundred wooden boxes of the same size.
Flame Tiger Sindar rushed forward and smashed the first wooden box with a claw. Clatter … Several rectangular metal ingots fell to the ground, letting out a crisp metallic sound.
The metal ingots were abnormally heavy, and when their surfaces came into contact with the free elemental particles in the air, they immediately dispersed into tiny rainbows.
It's Magic Iron Alloy!
Another box was opened, and within it were rows of purple metal ingots with a faint purple glow flowing on them.
Seeing such pure Eternium Ingots, Flame Tiger Sindar immediately pounced forward excitedly, grabbing them and stuffing them into its stomach.
As a fire creature, it did not have the habit of using Space Items. When it came across something it liked, it would always stuff it with food, using its huge stomach as a Storage Bag.
"Lord Sindar …" Grimm, who was standing at the side, could not stand it anymore and called out softly.
"What?" Sindar looked at Grimm nervously, "I've taken such a big risk, can't I take something from you?"
Grimm shook his head speechlessly, then extended his hand and handed over a Storage Ring.
"Since we've worked well together, then I'll give this Storage Ring to you. With it, you can take whatever you need from here … "
"Really?"
"Really!"
Sindar looked at Grimm suspiciously, thought for a moment, then grabbed the Storage Ring and carefully took away the three boxes of Eternium Ingots. It knew in its heart that even though the human Wizard was being nice, if one was greedy enough to cross the bottom line of his heart, it would be difficult for one to walk out of this private Wizard's Pagoda.
Thus, it was not greedy, and only took enough for its own use.
Grimm, on the other hand, took the rest of the wooden boxes.
With just a simple entry and exit, the A.I. Chip had already calculated all the Eternium Ingots.
There were a total of 96 wooden boxes.
There were 13 boxes of Eternium Ingots, 390 pieces, 120 tons …
32 boxes of Quillas Alloy, 960 pieces, 270 tons …
24 boxes of Magic Iron Alloy, 720 pieces, 117 tons …
7 boxes of Secret Silver, 210 pieces, 300 kilograms …
5 boxes of Fine Gold, 150 pieces, 380 tons …
…
…
The boxes of Eternium Ingots that had gone through multiple refinements were mostly high-grade Magical Metals. They were also high-grade resources that were hard to find on the market. If they were released, Grimm and the Crimson Family would not be affected by the lack of Magical Crystals for the next few decades.
Grimm did not care too much about the other Magical Metals, but the Quillas Alloy immediately made him beam with joy.
With these Quillas Alloys, there was a possibility that the large Magical Weapons of War in the Goblin Plane could be completed. Every additional Magical Furnace meant the formation of a Magical Weapon Army.
But now was not the time to celebrate. Grimm looked at Sindar and asked curiously, "Sindar, now that you have this batch of Eternium Ingots, where do you plan to go to digest them? If you don't mind, why don't you stay in my Flame Monarch's Wizard Pagoda for a while? "
"No …" Sindar rejected him immediately, "The reason I came to the Sorcerer World is to find a suitable metal that can solidify my body. Now that I have these Eternium Ingots, I don't need anything else. It's best for me to return to the Fire Elemental Plane … "
"Alright!" Even though Grimm did not achieve his goal, he did not care about such a small problem, "Why don't I open a plane passage and send you back?"
Flame Tiger Sindar laughed.
"Don't forget, I'm a creature from the Fire Elemental Plane. I don't need your help to return to my origin … Next time you come to the Fire Elemental Plane, you can look for me!"
With a leap, it reached the top of the Flame Altar. Using the elemental undulations that had yet to completely dissipate, its two sharp tiger claws rapidly attacked, and actually tore open a spatial crack leading to the Fire Elemental Plane. It drilled into the crack and disappeared without a trace.
After he left, a palm-sized model of a dark red Flame Tiger appeared on the empty space of the altar.
Grimm walked over and picked it up, sensing a trace of the Flame Tiger Sindar's aura.
It seemed like this was the communication token left behind by Sindar. If he really returned to the Fire Elemental Plane, it would be much easier to find Sindar based on his aura.
After sending Sindar off, Grimm waved his hand and closed the Flame Altar before returning to his residence.
At the entrance of his residence, the Scarlet Butler, Gargamel, had been waiting for a long time.
"What's the matter?"
The moment he sat down, Grimm asked curiously.
The Scarlet Family had developed to its current scale, and the number of Magi and acolytes in the family had reached three to four hundred. They also had over a hundred secular territories and resource points. The management of such a large family was naturally handed over to Magus Gargamel and Meryl to take care of.
Generally speaking, Gargamel had always been in charge of the family matters in the Elowis area, while Meryl was in charge of the White Tower in the north.
Most of the time, Grimm had become a hands-off boss and did not involve himself in the family matters.
To him, establishing the Scarlet Family was to settle down a group of people he cared about, and also to gather some resources for himself. Wasting time on managing the family was something Grimm was not willing to do.
Hence, out of his own conscience and selfishness, Grimm had delegated all the authority to manage the family matters to Gargamel and Meryl. He was only in charge of gathering the core strength of the family.
Hence, under normal circumstances, Gargamel would not trouble Grimm with some ordinary family matters.
For him to suddenly come here today, there must be something that he could not decide on or handle!
Gargamel hesitated for a moment, but could not help but speak.
"My Lord … It's about Emelia!"
"Emelia? What happened to her? "Grimm asked in surprise.
In the Flame Monarch's Wizard's Pagoda, everyone knew that Emelia was the apple of Gargamel and the forest demon Ava's eye. She was practically in their mouths, afraid to melt, and in their hands, afraid to touch.
With the two of them protecting her, what could possibly happen to her?
"My Lord, Emelia is fine … But …"
"But what? Hurry up and tell me, I don't have the time to play riddles with you! "
