"We're still friends, aren't we?"

Grim asserted in a sincere voice.

"Friend......" Congurnus was speechless for a moment.

To be honest, the guy who dares to be friends with a demigod lich is probably not too normal in his mind. After all, the Lich's terrifyingness and ruthlessness are also well-known to the people of the multiverse.

Therefore, Congurners was very uncomfortable with Grim's overtures.

"You can see my current situation, I have already taken half a step. Although I have not been completely rejected by the wizarding world, I am running out of time to stay within the plane. Grim smiled and explained, "I left the wizarding world and went to the outside world, and then I will be alone again, and I am afraid that I will need more help from your 'friend' in many things!"

Although Grim's words were not clear, the importance he attached to Conganus was also unmistakable.

Conganus is already a demigod lich, and with the Winter Box, he has no problem advancing to the Great Lich. Although Grim walked half a step earlier than it, when it comes to individual combat power, the other party is not too inferior to him.

Therefore, plan in advance and deal with this lich who is destined to rise strongly, so that Grim will not be blinded when he comes to the outside of the territory, and he will not even have a 'partner' to help.

Strength, power, connections, resources...... These things are all essential growth factors for top wizards, and they are indispensable!

As soon as he returned to the old path of weighing interests, Congurners immediately dissipated all his doubts, and even selfishly rejoiced.

Grim needs a strong enough partner to help, and so does Conganus. Once it steps into the 5th order and becomes a god-level Great Lich, it will naturally have the qualifications to erect its own banner in the Lich Alliance and recruit some unsatisfactory Lich as helpers.

You must know that in most spellcaster organizations, there has always been discrimination and rejection of lichs who violate the cycle of life and break the boundaries between life and death. Even many orthodox spellcasters have an abomination of the Lich, and will want to get rid of them if they find out.

As a result, the low-level members of the Lich Alliance often have to hide like rats in the gutter, unable to claim to be spellcasters in the open, and it is difficult for them to obtain the necessary resources and knowledge.

And Congurnus is now also a mixed up, with a strong foundation to survive that difficult period that cannot be looked back. However, even so, in terms of many high-level knowledge and rare resources, it is still difficult to find suitable trading partners.

After all, the Lich's usual eerie image of horror is so ingrained that not many spellcaster organizations are willing to deal with them.

Correspondingly, if Kangnus has multiple powerful legendary fire witches as partners, he may be able to open up the wizard's way. In this way, both knowledge and resources will be much easier to access.

With resources and strength, it's no longer a dream to pull up a force of your own in the Lich Alliance.

As for the matter of the Grim Reaper's graveyard...... Hmph, it has brought a future powerful wizard to the Lich Alliance, so what's the point of losing a little lich who doesn't make it into the stream!

As soon as he thought of this, Congenus's attitude immediately changed, and he immediately became much closer to Grim.

Lang is affectionate, and the concubine is intentional!

Both sides are lonely warriors in their respective groups, with very few partners. Now that they have a common will, they have formed an offensive and defensive alliance almost instantly, and have become 'good partners' with stable interests.

With this relationship, both sides are much more open and honest.

Congnus made up his mind to set up his own magic laboratory near the Great Rift in space in the short term, so that he could study Grim's advancement status nearby. In turn, it will also trade the secrets it has collected about the Endless Void to Grim in order to familiarize it with the extraterrestrial world as soon as possible.

It's fair and reasonable for both sides to take what they need!

After pacifying the demigod Lich Conganus, Grim glanced around covertly.

All these days, he has always had a strange feeling of being watched.

However, despite all the means Grim has exhausted, he has never been able to find the location of the mysterious guy who has been hiding in the shadows and watching him.

It's not the scholars of the Prophet's Tower, because those guys turned into giant eagles and turned into clouds, although they were very cleverly hidden, they still couldn't escape Grim's spiritual perception.

It is also impossible to be a strong person sent by the Wizarding Association, because as far as Grim knows, the Wizarding Association is in a lot of trouble now than in the middle. There are Calamity Lords rampant in the multiverse, and these guys are above the Abyss Demons in every aspect of their strength.

At such a time, if the other party is still in the mood to stir up trouble in the central part of the country, Grim doesn't mind going to the east to wander around and see the scenery of the Moyuan Valley.

Although Grim had never confirmed the existence of the mysterious figure in any way, through the rules level, he sensed the danger warning from the plane's consciousness.

He had just repelled the abyss attack, and his relationship with the plane consciousness was just right, so it was understandable that he would enjoy such a little preferential treatment. Unfortunately, Grim did not have any research in prophecy and divination, so he was unable to obtain more and more detailed information from the plane consciousness.

As for Alice, she was invited to the spirit realm by the star spirit Turas some time ago, and has not yet returned. So Grim could only observe silently, carefully comparing them, trying to find out the location of the monitor with the help of the chip.

It's a pity that the other party also seems to be a strong man with special means. No matter how much he tried to figure out the existence of the other party, he could never confirm it.

This made Grim also vaguely rise a hint of foreboding!

…………

Grim stood silently in place.

These days, his only job of the day is to wait quietly here, and then let the flames that spring up from the heart of the rules slowly radiate and transform his body.

Now, he only has three pieces of magical equipment on him.

The Vulcan Orb was stuffed into the Heart of Rules, where it turned into a scorching fireball, from which a steady stream of pure flame energy poured out. These energies are impregnated with extremely rich flame rules, like a hot and churning magma, which burns the skin and flesh of the heart of the rules, and the flesh and blood are scorched.

But fueled by Grim's powerful life force, new flesh continues to emerge from the blackened and withered flesh, replacing the damaged parts. However, these newborn flesh and blood obviously could not withstand the scorching flames of the rules, so they were once again scorched and blackened.

In this kind of scorching, rebirth, scorching, rebirth...... In the repeated cycle, some strange golden flesh particles were tempered. They don't seem to differ from normal flesh in appearance, but they have the power of rules that almost perfectly match the Unquenchable Flame.

And these golden flesh grains are not only not scorched by the regular flames, but become stronger and more energetic in the collision and interplay with the regular flames.

Grim's heart was the size of a house, and an hour of agony could only quench a golden grain of flesh the size of a soybean. If you want to completely replace this once rule-based heart with this golden flesh, you can't do it without fifteen years of water milling.

Transforming the Heart of Rules is actually to create a demonized heart for the Fire God Bead to carry the power of the rules of the 5th Order Flame. This process is long and painful, and it involves using some extremely rare wizard resources to improve the progress.

For the current Grimm, the Vulcan Bead is the source of his strength, and its role is irreplaceable by other items. It can be said politely that the entire power system after Grim's promotion to the 5th rank is built around the Vulcan Bead.

Even if it is also a 5th order Filthy Dark Book, it can only take a back seat to the second place, and it can't compete with the Vulcan Bead for the core position!

In addition to these two Tier 5 artifacts, the only thing that could accompany him in his past equipment was the Focus Crystal. As for the other witch weapons, due to the huge difference in rank, Grim could no longer rely on them to fight.

Some of the original Tier 4 witch weapons can barely be driven, but every time they are used, it means that the lifespan of this witch weapon will be greatly reduced. And those witchcraft below the 4th order are even more unbearable to bear the weight of life.

I'm afraid that the moment Grim's flame energy poured into it was the moment when it exploded into a sky full of fireworks. Even the witchcraft itself has been damaged, and their effectiveness will naturally be ineffective.

After all, with their materials and refining techniques, they obviously can't withstand the power of the rules!

Therefore, from today on, Grim will also embark on the arduous path of hard work to find resources and tailor high-level witchcraft for himself, just like other great wizards......

And at the moment when Grim fell silent again, and fell into closed eyes and contemplation, in the area on the edge of the Great Rift in space, an old wizard wearing a pointed hat, a gray witch robe, and a tall witch staff was silently examining him.

The old wizard was already a little rickety, no more than 1.7 meters tall, and compared to Grim's huge body of 1,000 meters high, it was almost like a small ant at the foot of a giant rhinoceros.

But his presence is clearly beyond all people's sight and perception.

Although the place where he stood was remote, there were still many wizards in charge of guarding it. When these wizards' gaze or spiritual perception swept over the old wizard, the feedback they received was a solitary piece of broken scorched rock, and there was nothing strange or strange about it at all.

Therefore, the old wizard's side was also full of people, and the wizards in charge of monitoring and guarding changed one after another, but no one was aware of his existence.

And he had been there for more than ten days.

Almost from the moment Grim defeated the Abyss Demon Refiner, he appeared there, and stood silently, observing Grim's every move and every trace of soul breath leaking out.

The more he looked, the more interested he became, and he was already curious and surprised by Grim!

To be honest, it was the first time he had seen such a strange rule wizard......
