Chapter 248: The Master of the Fire Crab
"Don't worry, maybe something happened to your god. ”
"It will be back soon!"
As the preparatory deity of the halfling god system, Ron naturally knows why Shanny can't give magic for the time being-for the pastor, it's a difficult time, but if you persevere, you will get more - after all, in the case of the gods can't give magic, the power of the church of gods will inevitably lose most of it, and when the gods return, the priest who sticks will become the core of the church and get more gifts from the gods.
"Thank you!"
"I feel so much better when you say that!"
"Hopefully I'll be able to keep it up!"
Ron's reassurance made the Fire-Haired Lady's priest feel much better, and he stood up and walked towards the halfling tribe's camp, where he would remain for a short time until the halfling tribe paid his payment.
"These pearls are a thank you for destroying the fire crabs!"
The halflings were also quick to act—or rather, they were ready to pay for their mercenaries before they hired them—two bags of thirty green pearls. These green pearls are a specialty of the Lake of Steam, produced from oysters that are bigger than a slap in the face, and are fetched on the black market, with even the worst green pearls being exchanged for a gold coin, with almost no upper limit on the quality of the pearls.
At the same time, the halfling elder [Ann] is also quite good at being a human being—he doesn't see mercenaries as strangers who have completed their missions, but as friends—and although it is possible that they will not see each other again, it is possible that they will create a new path for the clan in the future.
So, smiling and accepting Ann's gift, Ron watched Ayton leave Arnroke in a halfling boat, and then headed for Arnroke's highest-end crater.
Ayton had done a lot of damage to the fire crab, and even with Culkin's soul, he wouldn't have been able to recover so quickly - he needed to use the magma from Arnrock's crater so that Culkin could fully heal his body's wounds.

"This world is amazing!"
"My shell is the result of tens of thousands of years of accumulation in the Land of Fire, and a member of the ordinary race in this world has a similar structure to mine. ”
"Ron, you're in big trouble, though. ”
"This fire crab has an owner who resembles a weak god in this world, and is moving towards this place from another dimension. ”
Soaking in magma, Culkin wields his giant chelicerae and spits out magma foam, while in Soul Link, Culkin is talking to Ron.
After settling into the body of the fire crab, Culkin did not immediately destroy the soul of the fire crab, but trapped it, knowing that he would consume the soul only after obtaining all the knowledge in his memory.
In fact, both Odom and Agamagan did this - this would give them a greater right to survive in this world, and directly replace the devoured in this world - only this time the creature devoured by Kalkin had a contract, and the disappearance of the contract immediately provoked the anger of the other party.
"The fire crab has the blood of an abyss demon, and naturally his master can only be a demon!"
"In this world, demons are repelled – once back in Askatla, we have four divine beings that even the most faint gods can fight. ”
"And we can leave tomorrow. ”
............
"I'm Fia of the Flame Giants!
"A little beast with divinity?"
"You killed Sharka?"
To Ron's surprise, the owner of the fire crab arrived very quickly, and before Culkin's injuries were healed, he emerged from the hot lava - a huge humanoid creature resembling a fire elemental, with a war hammer in his hand, and the flames on his body burned wildly with rage - but his anger was suppressed by himself after seeing Ron.
The three divinities in Ron's body could be seen quite clearly in the eyes of this powerful abyssal life—like the moon in a cloudless night—and if Ron had only one divinity, then his warhammer would not hesitate to wield it, but with three divinities, the chances of such a natural occurrence were almost zero.
Moreover, the flame giant who emerged from the magma came from an ancient family that happened to know the legend of using the four elements to build a solid system—and naturally, he knew immediately that Ron was favored by a powerful god, and that the death of a fire crab was not worth offending such a powerful god.
"Dear Fia, I just wanted to help my good partner find a body, but I didn't expect it to be your subordinate!"
Without Agamagan by his side, Ron didn't have the certainty of overcoming the Flame Giant standing in the magma in front of him—he thought for a moment, then bowed and explained.
Moreover, Ron, who has obtained a lot of information in Candlekeep, fully understands what kind of profession the Abyss Breeder is - they are masters of bloodlines and hybridization, and through the study of biological bloodlines, they can not only create creatures with unique abilities, but also purify their own bloodlines and advance to higher forms.
Such a profession has even a greater say in the beast than Ron's beast.
"I see your partner. ”
"It's the same fire crab - but with a hint of fire divinity!"
"However, you killed my Sharka, but you have to compensate me for my losses!"
Creatures that can talk can be traded—this is the famous quote of the Rev. Waukin, and at this moment, Ron immediately seized the opportunity—the flame giant Fia's words slackened, and Ron immediately explored the reason for the abyssal breeder's anger.
It turns out that the reason why the fire crab likes to devour copper ingots is that the abyssal breeder needs a metal with special properties, which is only found in copper ingots - so he went to great lengths to create the fire crab Sharka and place it on the copper-rich Arnrock volcano.
Unexpectedly, the existence of the fire crab attracted Ron.
"In that case, then I will give you the special metals produced by Culgin in the future, but what can you give?"
While there are huge risks associated with making a deal with demons, there are also huge benefits to be gained - as long as you are on par with the other party, the agreement can be enforced for a long time.
"I can provide many things in the abyss, such as abyssal magic iron, all kinds of demons, etc., ......"
"As long as I have what I have in the abyss, I can provide it!"
It was impossible to breed another fire crab - Sharka was born out of an accident in a breeding experiment, and even if the whole process was recorded, Fia never succeeded again in the later years - and time did not allow it.
