Athena went home happily.

After a while, Ren returned to the Furnace Temple alone. As soon as he came in, he saw Elder Titan sitting on the tall stone chair again, but he did not study the giants' books, nor did he maintain the huge furnace under the hall. Instead, he looked contemplative. color.

He heard footsteps and looked up to see Ren, with a smile on his face.

"Ren, come here quickly."

Sorim took out a set of tables and chairs made of Titan blue iron from nowhere. The size is suitable for the human body, and it is the popular style of the Empire. There are tea sets and snacks on the table, and he warmly greeted: "We will sit Talk down."

Ren was a little flattered.

This is a powerful demigod, and his strength may be stronger than that of his teacher, enough to be comparable to Master Ogulevi in ​​his lifetime, the top powerhouse in the mortal world.

"Elder is welcome."

Ren sat down at the table honestly, facing Elder Titan.

Sorim, who looks like a majestic middle-aged man, has blond hair loosely draped, has short beards, and his skin is like bronze. He wears only a plain white robe, which is tied around his waist with a belt, revealing his thick arms and feet. .

Anyone who sees him can feel the aura of a god.

If it was an ordinary person, he wouldn't even be able to stand firm in front of him.

Ren couldn't help but quietly observed the Elder Titan sitting opposite him with the eyes of his soul. As expected, it was similar to his own observation of the Holy Soul Wizard. The soul of the other party was like a dazzling scorching sun, even though it was isolated by a layer of vagueness. , can still feel the power of terror.

It's not as bad as it used to be now.

He can't see through the details of the soul, but he can roughly judge the other party's emotions from the color.

At this time, the color of Elder Tai Tan's soul was calm white, mixed with a little light green color, indicating that he was in a very happy mood and seemed to have a happy event.

Ren was relieved, as long as there was no malice.

Sorim, like a hospitable neighbor uncle, poured two cups of tea himself, one of which floated in front of Ren.

"Thank you." Ren said softly.

"Drink it quickly." Sorim said, "This is the 'green rock' produced by the elves. The annual output is only a few pounds. It is a treasure for the high elves royal family. I don't have much in my hand. When you taste it, you have to drink it while it's hot."

Elder Titan picked up another cup of tea and drank it in one gulp, as if he was drinking.

Ren learned from him, and the hot tea poured into his throat.

"How does it taste?" Sorim asked cheerfully, with some anticipation in his eyes.

"Uh..." Ren smacked his tongue, it really had a different flavor, as if there was a fresh forest smell, but he didn't know how to describe it. He had no interest in tea in his last life, and he was completely indifferent. No matter how expensive the tea was, he couldn't drink much, so he might as well give himself a bottle of happy water to be more refreshing.

Elf's tea is even more bland and tasteless, and you can't drink anything.

He decided to tell the truth: "It's too bland."

"Hahaha..." Sorim burst out laughing, his voice shook the whole furnace temple, he pointed at Ren, and said happily: "Not bad! Not bad..."

"If you said a lot of praise, I would have kicked it out now." Elder Titan waved the tea set and water on the table away, and smiled: "This tea is indeed a treasure of the elves, and a pound is worth ten thousand gold. , let a lot of elves steal their heads. But only those delicate and exquisite elves can taste the way, for us, the taste is too light, it is no different from drinking water."

Ren let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, there is the eye of the soul, and I vaguely guess that this is a test for the elders of Titan. Otherwise, he may really be ignorant of his conscience and say a few compliments.

Sorim took out another crystal bottle: "You try this."

Ren took it over and looked at it. There was a light blue liquid in the bottle the size of his palm, which looked like sea water.

Taking a closer look, this is not ordinary sea water at all, but a diluted plasma. When it shakes, it bursts with lightning, like a storm in a bottle. If the bottle is smashed, it is estimated that it will release a five-ringed electro-explosive orb.

His scalp is numb, can this stuff be drunk?

Looking up to meet the eyes of Elder Titan, it was obvious that the other party wanted to drink it by himself, so he could only unscrew the bottle cap with his head up and drink it up in one gulp.

A gust of acrid descended down his throat, turned upside down in his stomach, and spread all over his body.

Ren endured the discomfort and closed his mouth tightly.

However, after a few seconds, he couldn't bear it anymore, this thing was too aggressive, the violent breath rushed up, straight to the top of his head, and he couldn't help opening his mouth to spurt a blue energy, like lightning sparks, from the nostrils, eyes and ears. erupted.

After spraying, it is followed by a warm feeling, and the whole body is extremely comfortable and reaches the soul.

"Cool!"

The radar exhaled a long, charged breath, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Surprisingly, he found that his thunder and lightning affinity had improved a bit, and he was more sensitive to the lightning elements in the air. On the Soul World Tree, a new leaf grows next to the "Thunderbolt Form" element, a brand new "Thunderbolt Affinity" element.

There is such a benefit!

"Elder, what is this?" Ren asked quickly.

"Lightning Essence." Sorim replied, "I developed a potion that can improve the affinity of lightning, but only the first few bottles have the best effect, and it is useless to drink more afterward. Those who are weak drink it. It will only die faster."

Ren nodded.

Lightning Essence is very stimulating to drink, but it is not something that ordinary people can bear. That is to say, his body is strong enough, and it is poison for extraordinary people below the legend.

"Can I exchange it with source crystals?" He rubbed his hands.

If you add a few more bottles of Lightning Essence, and get a few more Lightning Affinity, you might be able to advance to a second Lightning Form.

"No, I have a lot, I can give you some." Sorim took out ten crystal bottles, all filled with lightning essence. He also took a bottle and poured it into his mouth. The violent lightning energy poured into his mouth like drinking alcohol. A few currents flashed in his eyes, showing a satisfied smile.

Ren was dumbfounded.

It turns out that Elder Titan drinks Lightning Essence as a drink, a personal hobby, no wonder he didn't put it on the exchange list. Back then, he didn't take it out when he sought thunder and lightning affinity. Obviously, he didn't want to give it away in vain, and the relationship between the two sides was not that good.

Now willing to take out the essence of lightning, indicating that the relationship is not the same.

Ren happily accepted the crystal bottle.

These potions were put up for auction, and a bottle was worth thousands of gold shields, but it was more cost-effective to keep it for yourself. He opened a bottle of Lightning Essence and was about to drink it when he saw that Elder Titan was already drinking the third bottle, so he raised the crystal bottle and touched it.

when!

"Cheers." Ren said with a giant smile.

Sorim was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of this sentence, followed by: "Cheers!"

The two drank the plasma from the bottle.

Sorim's reaction was not great, but Renn seemed to have drank a large amount of chili water. His face was blue and blue, and a few seconds later, a lightning bolt spewed out of his mouth. His reaction was better than the first time he drank it. , but it's still very exciting and top-notch.

"Cool!" Ren laughed.

Feeling that his sensitivity to thunder and lightning elements had improved a lot, he immediately drank the third bottle, and a new "Thunder and Lightning Affinity" grew on the soul world tree.

"continue."

Ren gululu drank a few bottles of Lightning Essence in a row, and when he finally drank only three bottles left, a third Lightning-friendly leaf grew on the World Tree. Then, no matter how much he drank, he drank the rest of the Lightning Essence, and the World Tree didn't move.

"Pity……"

He pursed his lips, reminiscing.

Lightning Essence is not spirits, but that peculiar smell is more effective than spirits for Ren, and after drinking more than a dozen bottles in a row, he is already a little dizzy. The soul is undergoing subtle transformations, not negative effects, but positive ones, so the will of truth is not immune to it.

The three thunder and lightning affinity, as long as the luck is not too bad, the next time the soul changes, it should be able to advance to the thunder and lightning form.

Even if it is not advanced, the power and resistance of lightning spells have also improved a lot.

Ren stood up staggeringly, "Thank you, Elder."

Sorim stopped after drinking four or five bottles, his face didn't change at all, he sat firmly like a mountain, waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's rare for someone to drink with me. Now we should get down to business."

"Okay." Ren sat down again.

Elder Titan asked, "What do you think of Athena?"

"very good, very powerful."

Ren's brain is particularly active now, and he habitually replied with a catchphrase from his previous life, and then assured: "Elder, please rest assured, Athena will take care of her when she arrives in the main material world. With her strength, as long as she doesn't provoke the Holy Soul Wizard, no one can bully her."

He speaks the truth.

Don't look at Athena's defeat to herself, but after all, she is a titan giant. She is no less than a saint-level extraordinary person other than the Holy Soul Wizard based on her strength and defense. She really fights, and I dare not say that she can defeat it. At least there is no problem in saving her life.

And with his own cover, backed by Weizelan Floating City, who would dare to be so blind?

"I'm not worried about Athena's safety, and I'm not asking about her strength." Sorim shook his head slowly, looking a little strange.

"What do you mean?" Ren was confused.

"I mean, what do you think of Athena?" Elder Titan stared at Ren with burning eyes, and asked very seriously, "Would you like to marry Athena?"

"what!"

Ren was startled, and his spirit suddenly sobered up.

He suddenly felt like he was being asked about the wedding date by his father-in-law at the wine table, but the process was not over yet. Even if it was a blind date, he had to get in touch for a while to get a feel for it. He and Athena had only met three times and asked It has to be so direct, isn't it in a hurry?

Seeing that Sorim was a little hesitant, his eyes sharpened.

"Ren, you don't want to?"

"Uh... It's not a question of willingness or not..." Ren didn't know what to say. The beautiful woman sent her to the door, and she was still a Titan. Of course, she was very willing. But there is no free lunch in the world, and such good things must come at a price.

Who knows what this Titan elder wants?

He looked at Sorim cautiously, and the eye of the soul only saw a little orange, which was excited and eager, not hostile.

"What's the problem?"

Sorim stared at Ren, which made him feel a lot of pressure, and lowered his head to listen to Elder Titan and said, "Whether it is the aesthetics of giants or the hobbies of humans, Athena is a rare beauty in the world, enough to be worthy of it. You, what more do you want?"

"Elder." Ren showed an embarrassed expression and said frankly, "I already have several spouses."

"It doesn't matter." Sorim didn't care. "It doesn't matter how many spouses you have. They are not Athena's opponents anyway. I'm not afraid of her being bullied. Who would dare? Humph..." Danger flashed in his eyes. , the breath skyrocketed for a moment, making Ren's heart beat.

Viola, Oxilia, and Emilys, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps.

This small fish pond was originally very calm, and several fish did not interfere with each other. If Athena was put in, it would mean that a big shark would come. Will the other fish still survive?

Ren was silent.

Sorim continued: "Of course, in this world, powerful males always have many spouses, I can understand. If you have the ability to make them live in peace, as long as Athena is not bullied, I will not look for you. Trouble."

Really? I do not believe!

Ren was hesitant in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and asked curiously, "Elder, may I ask, why do you want Athena to be my spouse?"

Storm giants are now in decline and urgently need to boost the population.

The giants are also inherently gender imbalanced. The ratio of male to female is about four to one. Every female storm giant is a rare resource, and most male giants are bachelors all their lives.

Athena is a female giant with extraordinary talent, and her face is so beautiful. I don't know how many young giants adore her and don't marry her to the outstanding juniors of the clan, but let her become a human spouse, and let those storm giants know , it is estimated to be mad.

Within three minutes, a horde of storm giants would come to challenge him.

"Ren, you're fine." Sorim nodded approvingly, "I can stay calm at this time, it's not worth my optimism about you."

I'm just cowardly, Ren said.

"The reason is simple."

Sorim smiled indifferently, he looked at Ren, and said without concealment: "Ren, I see your prospects very well, and I can see your ambitions. The main material world will become your territory sooner or later, at least The Oriente Empire will fall into your hands, so I want to build a relationship with you and go a step further, which may be a key step for the Storm Giants to regain their glory."

Ren was slightly startled~lightnovelpub.net~ Obviously, the Titan elder had done an in-depth investigation of himself, which may have started a few years ago, and did not regard himself as a pure trader.

He wants to marry himself.

Athena was that victim.

Ren did not deny his ambitions and desires, and met Sorim's gaze: "Can I refuse?"

Elder Titan was not angry, but laughed.

He could see at a glance that Ren was not really refusing, but was bargaining, which was something he had expected before. He never thought that only one Athena could persuade Ren, and he had prepared other conditions.

Sorim sat up straight and stretched out two fingers: "One, as long as you agree, Athena will sign a soul contract with you. Two, I promise to shoot for you three times. If you die, this promise will be transferred to you. family heir."
