"So, what's the price?"

Renn blurted out a rhetorical question.

He still firmly believed in the saying that there was no free lunch in the world. Elder Titan offered two such tempting conditions, and he was very moved by either.

A Titan Giant's soul contract can obtain "Titan Divine Power", which is one of the most famous legendary elements and can obtain four other elements. The Eye of Soul has seen Asina countless times. Other elements are far less than Titan Divine Power, but they are also extremely powerful and practical.

By creating a contract with Asina, the strength alone can increase by more than twice, and the strength will increase more.

However, compared to the three promised moves Solim has, the value of a legendary element is somewhat insufficient, and it can even be regarded as a gift.

The promise of a demigod is unestimable even if it is only once.

At critical moments, it is likely to reverse the entire situation.

What's more, Solim promised three times and could be transferred to the family's heirs. I have to say that Solim is really sincere.

But the sincerity was too great, Rennes couldn't bear it.

The heavier the promise Sorim is willing to give, the more things he will ask for from him. If he is tempted and agrees with all his words, he will not be able to fulfill the promise in the future to satisfy Elder Titan, and sooner or later he will be taken back with his principal and interests.

Hearing Renn's rhetoric, Sorim admired him even more.

"Your calmness is really too much beyond others. No wonder you have achieved such great success in just a few years." Sorim praised first, and then said, "Listen, I have two requests. One, within the next hundred years, I will send a thousand pounds of source crystals to the Temple of the Storm every year; the other, when you master the Orionthal Empire, or if you can move more than three floating cities, we will clear our enemies in the Storm plane."

Renn nodded slowly, looking thoughtful.

Sure enough, this sumptuous lunch is not free, and it is not that easy to hold a beauty.

The first requirement is to provide 1,000 pounds of source crystals every year for a hundred years, with a total of 100,000 pounds of source crystals, which is not harsh. Our mine currently produces more than 6,000 pounds of source crystals every year, and in addition to purchasing them everywhere in Empire and Congatero, we can collect about 8,000 pounds of source crystals in a year.

Even if the mines dry up after a few years, they can still last for many years.

Anyway, we have to find new sources of mines, and it is acceptable to add a burden of one thousand pounds per year.

It is still very cost-effective to exchange the 100,000-pound source crystal for a legendary element and the powerful combat power of Asina, let alone pay in installments.

What is really difficult is the second requirement.

Renn asked in surprise: "Elder, do you and your tribe members have enemies in the storm plane?"

The Storm Plane is not low in the main material world. It is a transitional plane between the wind element plane and the thunder element plane. Its area is similar to that of the empire and is the birthplace and hometown of the Storm Giant. In the Second Era, the Storm Plane was the holy place of the Giant Empire, and there were multiple Storm Temples.

Now that the giant is declining, I didn't expect that even the holy land could not be protected.

"Of course there is." Sorim nodded with a serious expression, "The Storm Plane originally belonged to the Storm Giant. At its peak, the six Storm Temples firmly controlled the entire plane, and now there is only one left."

"Has the other five been destroyed?" Ren couldn't help asking.

Sorim shook his head and said, "The three were completely destroyed at the end of the Era, and two were occupied by enemies from the Wind Element and Thunder Element planes. Their leaders had similar strength to me, and they had a large number of troops, many elemental creatures and vassal races, and their overall strength was stronger."

"If I hadn't activated the power of using the temple, the Storm Giant had been driven out of the Storm Plane and wandered outside."

Speaking of the difficulties of the tribe, Solim's face was very heavy.

Rennes was also shocked.

The dilemma of the Storm Giant is much more serious than expected.

Whether it is the wind element plane or the thunder element plane, the area is comparable to that of the entire old continent. The environment may not be as beautiful and livable as the main material world, but under harsh conditions, countless alien races have also been nurtured.

Especially the wind element plane, it ranks one of the four major element planes.

There are countless species in any of the four major elemental planes, and their extraordinary power is better than the main material world. There are countless strong people above the holy level, and there are many unknown powerful creatures. If you start a plane war with the main material world, the outcome will be unpredictable.

Moreover, the kingdom of gods of many gods is in the elemental plane.

The Storm plane is definitely not as terrifying as the four elemental planes, but it would be too difficult to be enemies with two demigods with similar strength to Sorim.

Sorim's goal is obvious.

He wanted to regain the two remaining Storm Temples, regain control of the Storm Plane, and then use this as a basis to obtain resources and territory, increase population, and revitalize the Storm Giant's glory.

Renn felt that even if the Empire took action to participate, it would not be possible to succeed.

What's more, whether it is controlling the empire or commanding the three floating cities, I am too far away, and I don't know that it will take the year of the monkey and horse to reach it.

"Elder, I'm afraid I can't do the second request." Renn tentatively.

"This is not a mandatory requirement." Sorim also knew the difficulty and explained: "I have no limit on time and will wait patiently for you to grow up. When I think you already have enough strength, I will make a request to you. Whether to do it or not is up to you."

"All I want is your promise."

"But before clearing the enemies in the Storm Plane, I will only take action for you once. If you have not taken action, I will not cash out the remaining two phones."

Seeing that Rennes was still hesitating, he added: "The storm plane hides many secrets and benefits. Conquering it will bring great benefits. I will not exclusively occupy it. We will discuss the specific distribution in the future."

Renne's expression slowed down.

If it is not mandatory to fulfill it, it will be relatively relaxed.

A promise to change to a demigod will definitely not lose money. As for whether he can fulfill his promise in the future, that is a matter in the future. You don’t need to think too much now.

The conditions offered by Solim cannot be refused.

The most important thing is that this transaction can bring the relationship between the two parties closer and benefit each other. If you refuse, you will be too ungrateful. You may even cancel the opportunity to exchange items with source crystals, which will be a bit unworthy of the loss and make yourself boring.

"Thank you for your kindness, elder."

Renn stood up and said solemnly: "I hope one day I can contribute my strength to the Storm Giant's regaining home."

"Then you have to work harder."

Elder Titan finally smiled on his majestic face. He picked up two crystal bottles from the table, unscrewed the lid, and handed one to Renn.

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

The two raised the crystal bottle and touched it gently, and drank the essence of lightning.

After sitting down again, Renn thought of something, hesitated for a moment and couldn't help asking: "Elder, how should Asina tell her there?"

"Just say it directly." Sorim didn't care.

"Uh..." he said carefully: "Do you want to vent your anger with Asina first?"

Sorim replied not very much: "No need to be so troublesome. Asina is a reasonable young man, she will understand."

"Understand, but disagree?" Renn asked again.

"She must agree that for the sake of the Storm Giant's hope, she has no right to refuse." Sorim put down the crystal bottle and said in an unquestionable tone, "And this is also for her own good. If you sign a soul contract with you, she will get five powerful elements from you, her strength will increase greatly, and the possibility of being promoted to the holy level will be greatly improved. She will still be taken care of by you in the main material world without any loss."

"There are indeed not many women in Storm Giant, but she is not one."

"With Asina's talent, I never thought that she would give birth to children only for her clans. She should use her strengths and abilities to make greater contributions to her clans."

Sorim looked as if he was speaking for granted.

Renn discovered that the demigod is the demigod after all.

There is a difference between man and God. Even the most loving younger generation is just a victim in Sorim's eyes, and he has never considered Asina's own feelings.

Sorim can ignore it, but not himself.

In the future, Asina will have to get along with herself for a long time. If she forces her to agree to establish a soul contract with her based on racial justice, a thorn will fall in her heart, which will lead to conflicts.

Even from a personal perspective, Renne doesn't want to make Asina sad.

If possible, Renn was even willing to cancel the first transaction, just make a promise of the second item, but Sorim would definitely not agree. Asina's soul contract is a bond between the two parties. Without a marriage foundation, that promise is not strong enough and will fade over time.

The soul contract is the most unbreakable sacred covenant, more convincing than marriage, and cannot be revoked once signed until one of the parties dies.

So it's not okay to just let Asina go with her.

Renn thought for a while, feeling that he had to persuade him.

"Elder, please seek Asina's consent first, and at least give her some time to consider it." He said seriously: "I don't want to hurt her heart."

Sorim looked at Renne for a few seconds and suddenly laughed.

"It seems that you don't really understand Asina." Elder Titan seemed to be in control. "I know you were out of good intentions, but it's really unnecessary. We are storm giants, unlike you humans. We always have something to say, and we don't have as many delicate thoughts as humans."

Before Renn could reply, Sorim popped up a lightning bolt and disappeared into the void. "Asina will arrive soon, I will tell her in person."

Rennes was stunned.

Within two minutes, footsteps sounded outside the Temple of the Melting Furnace, and then, Athina, with a smile on her face, walked in.

All the injuries suffered in the battle have recovered and they are full of energy.

"Elder, Rennes."

She greeted the two of them, and saw Renn and Sorim sitting at the table, filled with empty crystal bottles. Her eyes were surprised and a little expectant. There must be something important to call her and it has something to do with her about to be outside.

"Asina, come here."

After Asina sat down, Sorim said directly: "I talked to Renne about something and decided to make you enter into a soul contract with Renne and become his spouse. What do you think?"

"ah!"

Asina screamed lightly, obviously not expecting it at all.

Then he quickly glanced at Renn sitting next to him, his ears were red and his cheeks were also blushed, but he quickly returned to normal. His eyes moved away from Renn, returned to Solim, and asked, "Elder, is this what you mean or what Renn thinks?"
