Chapter 486: Source Crystal Exchange
Wren was alert and stopped to look behind him.
A thick thunderbolt came straight towards him from hundreds of meters away, and when it landed in front of him, a giant figure instantly appeared, it was Athena.
Standing in front of him, he deeply felt the height of the Titan, his legs were like two pillars, he had to tiptoe to touch her knees, raised his head, and saw the bottom of the metal battle skirt, and saw the place where he shouldn't look.
Looking further up, all I saw was a pair of towering mountain peaks and the jaws of giants.
I couldn't see her expression at all.
"Human, uh......" Athena realized that she was too close, putting Wren in an awkward position.
She was used to talking to her people, even the toddler of the Storm Giant was more than three meters, and a few years older could exceed four meters, while Wren was less than two meters, and he was taller than him when he squatted down.
Wren flashed backwards in a very interesting way, and opened a distance of more than ten meters.
As soon as she was about to salute, she saw that the Titan Giant's figure had shrunk sharply, from eight meters high to less than two meters in a blink of an eye, and the battle armor on her body had also become smaller, still fitting very well, but her one-handed sword and round shield had disappeared, and it should have been contained in the dimensional space on the left wrist armor.
The Soul Eye senses her elemental flicker, which is the ability of the "Titan Divine Power".
The legendary element of Titan Divine Power is not simply a super power, the terrifying power is its most well-known feature, in fact, the defense and magic resistance are also extremely powerful, and it can control the size of the body to shrink and scale. Size amplification increases strength, slowing speed and dexterity, and in turn shrinks body size, increasing agility and defense, but weakening strength.
After a second, Athena's body stabilized.
At this moment, her height is about 1.8 meters, her figure is strong and well-proportioned, her limbs are slender, her skin is healthy wheat-colored, and the most striking thing is a pair of sturdy long legs, perfect like a golden ratio, full of youthful vitality all over her body, and her appearance is even more beautiful and heroic, which is unforgettable at first sight.
"Human, what's your name, where did you come from?"
Athena stepped forward and questioned in the imperial Chinese, which she was not very proficient in. Her voice had a clear feeling that made people feel good, and it sounded refreshing.
"Ms. Athena, you can call me Wren. Wren replied in the language of giants, "I am from the main material realm, and I am a native of the Orion Empire. ”
"You speak the language of giants. Athena's eyes lit up.
Her face showed a bit of appreciation, and Wren's giant language made her feel very kind, and she said with some yearning: "Orion Empire, I heard the elders say that this country is said to be one of the most powerful countries in the main material realm today, with twelve powerful Holy Soul Wizards. ”
"Yes. Wren nodded slightly.
He could see that the young titan had never left the Storm Plane, just like a young girl who had never left her hometown, full of curiosity about everything in the outside world.
There are countless planes in the world of Aarens, but the most attractive to the intelligent race is the main material realm, which is the center of this world with the largest area, the largest population, the most prosperous species, and the most prosperous civilization. The Storm Giants once ruled over half of the main material realm, and naturally longed for the world where their ancestors created glory.
He smiled and continued, "My teacher is a Holy Soul Wizard. ”
Athena was really aroused, and suddenly became puzzled, "Your teacher is a Holy Soul Wizard, so you are also a wizard?"
"Of course. Wren nodded in acknowledgement.
"You don't look like a spellcaster at all. Athena raised her eyebrows, looked at Wren seriously, as if to see through his details, shook her head strangely, and her blonde ponytail was shaking, "If it weren't for the fact that I had never seen you before, I would probably think you were my clansman." ”
The people she was talking about were the shrunken Titans.
Wren was immediately impressed by Athena's perception.
His strength, defense, and lightning form, as well as the many lightning spells he mastered, were indeed nine points similar to the shrunken Titan. If you can master the "Giant Transformation Technique" to enlarge your body shape, you can easily pretend to be a Titan Giant, and it is estimated that even the Storm Giant will not be able to distinguish the real from the fake.
Athena should have noticed that her aura was similar to hers, so she chased after her and asked.
This is still the state of her breath in a blood-colored cloak, and Athena can still see through the essence, which shows how keen her eyes are.
Sure enough, Athena asked directly, "Wren, how is your strength?"
"It's okay. ”
Wren replied vaguely.
He was aware of Athena's thoughts, but didn't want to do anything with her, as it would be pointless and could cause trouble for himself.
The storm giants in Thor's Arena had noticed this, and they were all coming over like moving hills.
Athena was not satisfied with Wren's answer, what does it mean "okay"? She heard perfunctory from these two words, seemingly self-humble, but in fact, Wren has a strong confidence in his own strength, and has no interest in competing with a titan giant.
The Soul Eye saw the change in her mind, and Wren secretly screamed badly.
He hurriedly added, "I'm just a legendary beginner-level wizard, and my strength is far inferior to Ms. Athena, and the battle just now opened my eyes." ”
"To be too modest is to be proud. ”
Athena smiled, "I just asked about your strength, and I don't want to do anything." You are so eager to defend yourself, and you are still touting me vigorously, obviously what you think in your heart is different from what you say, maybe it is the complete opposite, you think you can defeat me?"
it!
Wren learned Athena's intelligence, and she really got it right.
This young titan giant is indeed very powerful, but in his eyes, it is not invincible, and his strength is slightly inferior to Mark, and he should be able to defeat her without all his strength.
Athena saw through her true thoughts with only two or three sentences, and I have to say, it is indeed a bit powerful.
"Ms. Athena thinks too much, I'm just not good at dueling. Wren didn't argue, looked at the Storm Giants who were already approaching, and saluted, "I'm sorry, I'm going to visit Elder Solim, please forgive me for going first." ”
With that, he turned around and continued walking.
"The Storm Temple is so big, you shouldn't be familiar with the road as an outsider, right?" Athena caught up with her in three steps and two steps, and said enthusiastically, "As the master here, I have the obligation to show the way for the guests. ”
Wren ignored her and snapped into lightning and shot out.
As soon as he landed, he noticed another lightning bolt coming closely, revealing Athena's tall figure, and smiled sweetly at himself, "Elder Solim has always been in the Crucible Sanctuary, and the last thing he lacks is time, he can visit at any time, you can tell me about the situation in the main material realm." ”
Wren stopped flashing, turned around and asked, "What do you want to know?"
"Hmph......" Athena snorted in displeasure, "Sure enough, you just don't want to do anything with me, so you look down on me like this?"
Wren has a headache, and women's minds change as they say, even the Titans.
In the previous sentence, I was still asking if the outside world was exciting, and the next second I changed my face and thought that I looked down on her.
Without waiting for Wren to respond, Athena regained her smile and said with a playful smile: "Just kidding you, I never force others to fight with me, I just want to test you, after all, it is rare to see humans from the main material realm in the Storm Temple." ”
Wren breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart moved slightly.
As he walked, he asked, "Didn't Elder Solim make a deal with the people of the Lord Material Realm?"
"Yes. Athena didn't care about revealing the situation at all, "Before you, I had met three traders from the main material realm, but they were not human. ”
"Not human?" Wren asked.
"Well, I don't like them, so I haven't touched them. A hint of disgust flashed in Athena's eyes, "As for what race and identity they are, I can't tell you." ”
Wren nodded.
Since you are not a human being, you have no conflict of interest with yourself, and there is no competition.
It is likely that Elder Solim deliberately chose the trading target in this way, trying to trade with people from different planes and regions as much as possible, so as to expand the scope of collecting source crystals, and at the same time avoid traders from intersecting and colluding in private, creating an unfavorable situation for himself.
Whether it's a deal or a negotiation, information asymmetry is a huge advantage.
Athena quickened her pace, walked side by side with Wren, tilted her head and asked, "I heard the elder say that the Orion Empire has the most powerful magical creation in the world, that is, the Floating City, what does that look like?"
"I live in the Floating City......"
Wren gave her a rough description of what the Floating City looked like and how it worked.
Athena listened very carefully, a pair of pale golden eyes fell on Wren, but her mind was a little erratic, as if she had constructed the scene Wren said in her mind. In addition to the floating city, she is also curious about everything in the main material world, as if she has endless questions, like a curious baby.
Wren replied patiently.
The two of them unconsciously slowed down, but after a few moments, they arrived at the tallest building in the center of the Temple, which was the Furnace Temple.
The two thundercast colossias stood guard at the door, motionless.
Wren's gaze swept over them and said, "Lady Athena, I'm going in to meet Elder Solim. "He means you can leave.
Athena was listening with relish, quite reluctant.
She thought for a moment, "I'll go with you." ”
"If Elder Solim doesn't object, I'm fine. "When Wren passed by the Thundercast Colossus, they didn't react, and they must have made a note of their own characteristics.
Walking into the 100-meter-high palace gate, the interior space is unfolded in front of you.
The transparent glass-like ground was spotless, and the massive Titan Furnace below could be seen, connected to huge pipes that sent surging electrical energy outward.
Elder Titan, Solim, the powerful demigod, did not sit on the only high-backed chair in the palace at this time, but stood in the center of the palace, directly above the furnace, and shot out lightning bolts of energy from his hands, penetrating the ground and sinking into the furnace, as if debugging the furnace's operation.
Bursts of thunder and lightning elements came out of the Titan Elder's body, and the vast energy made people's hearts palpitate.
Even if Wren has a "thunderbolt form", he is a little unbearable in the face of this terrifying energy, and the hairs all over his body stand on end, and the uncontrolled generation of electricity on his skin is uncontrollable.
"Lord Solim. ”
Wren stood at the door and saluted from afar.
Solim stopped what he was doing, and the huge energy immediately subsided, and the runes that filled the air disappeared.
He turned his head and nodded gently, "Wren, come in." ”
Wren had closed the Soul Eye, but he still caught a hint of joy in the Elder Titan's eyes, obviously not because he was welcome, but because he brought the Source Crystal.
"Elder!" Athena followed.
"It's Athena...... Solim saw the young titan giant, his face showing a bit of love, "You know Wren, you didn't say anything you shouldn't say, did you?"
"How is that possible!" Athena smiled happily, "I just asked him about the situation in the main material realm, which is much more interesting than the storm plane." ”
Elder Titan was noncommittal.
When Wren and Athena walked in front of him, he also shrunk to a height of more than two meters, turning into a stout middle-aged man, with a resolute face, wearing a white robe, looking at Wren and asking, "You came back so soon, you should have collected the source crystal?"
"Yes, Elder. Wren smiled and replied, "I did collect a little bit." ”
"How many pounds of Source Crystals have you refined, and what are you going to exchange them for?" Elder Solim asked.
"Seventeen thousand pounds. ”
Wren replied truthfully, took out the source crystal that had been refined from the dimensional space ring, and landed on the ground with a thud.
Elder Solim had just asked him routinely, and he didn't expect much from Wren, who had only been gone for more than a year. In the eyes of the demigods, a year is a short time, and it feels like Wren has just left and returned.
When he saw the half cubic source crystal that Ren took out, he immediately lost his temper.
"So much!"
Athena next to her was also full of surprise, and was shocked by Wren's generosity.
Source Crystals are the most important resource of the Storm Giants, and the Elder has spent a lot of effort in order to get enough Source Crystals.
Since a thousand years ago, the Elder decided to trade Source Crystals with outsiders, most of the time, those traders could only take out one or two hundred pounds of Source Crystals, and occasionally save thousands of pounds a few times, but no one had ever been able to take out more than 10,000 pounds of Source Crystals in one go, let alone trade for the first time.
Athena couldn't help but look at Wren again and again, as if she wanted to get acquainted with the young human again.
Elder Solim couldn't wait to reach out and touch the source crystal, feel its material, and break a piece and test it carefully in his hand.
"It's really Yuanjing!"
"And it's refined, the purity is above ninety, and it can be directly used as fuel for the Titan Furnace!" Elder Solim exclaimed, unable to suppress the joy on his face.
He took out a huge balance and put the source crystal on it to measure it, showing that the weight was no more, no less, which was the seventeen thousand pounds that Wren had said.
"Wren, you gave me a big surprise, even better than I thought. Elder Solim was in a very happy mood, and he didn't immediately collect the origin crystals, nor did he ask where Wren got these source crystals, and happily asked, "What do you want to exchange?"
Wren had already thought about exchanging items.
"Please give me a Thundercast Colossus, a copy of the 'Titan Rune Knowledge' and a Nebula Ring, and exchange the rest for Titan Blue Iron. ”
