Ren's mind became alert, he stopped and looked back.
A thick thunderbolt came straight towards him from hundreds of meters away, and when it landed in front of him, a giant figure appeared, it was Athena.
Standing close, he deeply felt the tallness of the Titan. His legs were like two pillars. He could only touch her knees by standing on tiptoe. When he raised his head, he saw the bottom of the metal battle skirt. Wrong place to look.
Looking up, I only saw a pair of towering peaks and a giant's jaw.
Can't see her expression at all.
"Human, uh..." Athena realized that she was too close as soon as she opened her mouth, which put Ren in an awkward angle.
She is used to talking with her clansmen. Even the storm giant's toddler is more than three meters high, and a few years older can exceed four meters, while Ren is less than two meters tall, and he is taller than him even when he squats down.
Renn flashed back wisely, pulling away a distance of more than ten meters.
Just as she was about to salute, she saw that the titan's figure had shrunk sharply, shrinking from eight meters high to less than two meters in a blink of an eye, and the armor on her body also shrunk, still fitting perfectly, but her one-handed sword and buckler disappeared. , should have been taken into the dimensional space on the left wrist armor.
The eye of the soul senses the flickering of her elements, which is the ability of "Titan power".
The legendary element of Titan's divine power is not simply possessing super strength. Its most famous feature is its terrifying power. In fact, its defense and magic resistance are also extremely strong, and it can control its size to shrink or enlarge. Enlarging the body shape increases strength, and slowing down speed and dexterity; conversely, shrinking the body shape increases flexibility and defense, but weakens strength.
A second later, Athena's figure stabilized.
At this moment, she is about 1.8 meters tall, with a strong and well-proportioned figure, slender limbs, and a healthy wheat-colored skin. The most striking thing is a pair of strong long legs, which are as perfect as the golden ratio, and she is full of youthful vitality. The 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 asked questions in the unproficient imperial language. Her voice has a kind of clarity that makes people feel good, and it sounds refreshing.
"Ms. Athena, you can call me Ren." Ren replied in the giant language: "I come from the main material world, and I am a member of the Orienth Empire."
"You can speak the language of giants." Athena's eyes lit up.
There was a bit of appreciation on her face, Ren's giant language made her feel very kind, and she said with some yearning: "The Orienth Empire, I heard the elders say that this country is said to be the most powerful in the main material world today One of the kingdoms has twelve powerful holy soul wizards."
"Yes." Ren nodded slightly.
He could tell that this young titan should have never left the Storm Plane, just like a girl who never left her hometown, she was full of curiosity about everything in the outside world.
There are countless planes in the world of Arrenus, but the main material world is the most attractive to intelligent races. It has the largest area, the largest population, the most prosperous species, and the most prosperous civilization. It is the center of this world. The storm giant once ruled half of the main material world, so he naturally longed for the glorious world created by his predecessors.
He smiled, and continued, "My teacher is a holy soul wizard."
Sure enough, Athena was aroused, and suddenly became suspicious, "Your teacher is a holy soul wizard, so you are also a wizard?"
"Of course." Ren nodded.
"You don't look like a spellcaster at all." Athena raised her eyebrows, looked at Ren seriously, as if she wanted to see through his details, shook her head strangely, and her blond ponytail was also shaking, "If it wasn't for me I have never seen you before, and I probably regard you as my clan."
The clansman she mentioned refers to the shrunken Titans.
Ren was immediately impressed by Athena's perception.
His own strength, defense, and lightning shape, as well as the many lightning spells he mastered, are indeed 90% similar to the shrunken titan. If he can master the "Giant Transformation Technique" to enlarge his body, he can easily pretend to be a Titan. It is estimated that even the Storm Giant will not be able to tell the real from the fake.
Athena probably sensed that her aura was similar to hers, so she chased after her to ask questions.
This is still the state where she is wearing a blood-colored cloak to restrain her breath. Athena can still see through the essence, which shows how sharp her eyesight is.
Sure enough, Athena asked directly: "Ren, what is your strength?"
"Okay."
Ryan answered vaguely.
He was aware of Athena's thoughts, but he didn't want to fight her, because not only was it meaningless, but it might also cause trouble for himself.
The storm giants in the Thunder God Arena have noticed this side, and they are walking over one by one, like moving hills.
Athena is not satisfied with Ren's answer, what is "okay"? She heard perfunctory from these two words, seemingly self-effacing, but in fact, Ren has strong confidence in his own strength, and has no interest in competing with a titan.
The eyes of the soul saw the change in her mind, and Ren secretly said badly.
He quickly added: "I'm just a legendary junior wizard, and my strength is far inferior to that of Ms. Athena. The battle just now opened my eyes."
"Excessive modesty is pride."
Athena smiled, "I'm just asking about your strength, and I don't want to do anything. You are so eager to defend and flatter me, obviously what you think in your heart is different from what you say, maybe it is Quite the opposite, you think you can beat me?"
Fuck!
Ren learned of Athena's intelligence, and she really hit it off.
This young titan is indeed very powerful, but in his eyes, he is not invincible. He is slightly weaker than 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 duels." Ren didn't make excuses, looked at the storm giants who had approached, and saluted: "I'm sorry, I'm going to visit Elder Solim, please forgive me I'm going ahead."
After speaking, he turned around and continued walking.
"The Temple of Storms is so big, you, an outsider, shouldn't be familiar with the way?" Athena caught up with three steps and two steps, and enthusiastically said: "As the owner of this place, I have the obligation to lead the way for the guests."
Ren ignored her, and turned into lightning and shot out with a snap.
As soon as he landed, he noticed another bolt of lightning following closely, and Athena's tall figure appeared, and she smiled sweetly at himself, "Elder Sorim has been in the Furnace Temple all the time, and the most important thing he lacks is time." , you can visit at any time, tell me about the situation in the main material world."
Ren stopped flashing, turned around and asked, "What do you want to know?"
"Hmph..." Athena snorted displeasedly, "Sure enough, you just don't want to fight with me, so you look down on me like that?"
Ren had a headache, and women's minds changed as they said, even the Titans were no exception.
In the last sentence, he was still asking if the outside world is wonderful, but in the next second he changed his face and thought that he looked down on her. Is this a female boxer? Do you still talk about rules in boxing?
Before Renn could respond, Athena returned to her smile, and said with a playful smile: "I'm just joking with you, I never force others to compete with me, I just want to test you, after all, it's rare in the Temple of Storms Meet humans from the Prime Material Plane."
Ren breathed a sigh of relief, his heart moved slightly.
He asked as he walked, "Did Elder Solim not make deals with people from the main material world?"
"Yes." Athena didn't care about revealing the situation at all, "Before you, I have seen three traders from the main material world, but they are not human beings."
"Not human?" Ren asked.
"Well, I don't like them, so I haven't been in contact with them." Athena's eyes flashed with disgust, "As for their race and identity, I can't tell you."
Ren nodded.
Since it is not a human being, there is no conflict of interest with itself, and there is no competitive relationship.
Elder Solim probably chooses the trading target on purpose, trying to trade with people from different planes and regions, so as to expand the scope of collecting source crystals, and at the same time avoid the intersection of traders and collusion in private, causing a disadvantageous situation for himself .
Whether it is a transaction or a negotiation, information asymmetry is a huge advantage.
Athena quickened her pace, walked side by side with Ren, tilted her head and asked, "I heard from the elders that the Orienth 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..."
Ren gave her a general description of what the floating city looked like and how it worked.
Athena listened carefully, a pair of pale golden eyes fell on Ren, but her mind was a little erratic, as if constructing the scene that Ren said in her mind. Apart from Floating Void City, she is also curious about everything in the main material world, as if she has endless questions, like a curious baby.
Ren answered patiently.
The two slowed down unknowingly, but after a while, they still arrived at the tallest building in the center of the temple, which was the Temple of the Furnace.
The two lightning-cast colossal statues stood guard at the door, motionless.
Ren glanced at them and said, "Ms. Athena, I'm going in to meet Elder Solim." What he meant was that you can leave now.
Athena was listening with gusto, rather reluctantly.
She thought for a while, "I'll go with you."
"If Elder Solim doesn't object, I have no objection." When Ren passed by the Thundercast Colossus, they didn't respond, and they should have remembered their own characteristics.
Walking into the 100-meter-high gate of the palace, the interior space is displayed in front of you.
The transparent glass-like ground is spotless, and one can see the huge Titan furnace below, connected with huge pipelines, sending out surging current energy.
Titan elder Solim, this 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, shooting out lightning-like energy from his hand , penetrated the ground and submerged into the furnace, and seemed to be debugging the operation of the furnace.
Waves of thunder and lightning elements came out from the body of Elder Titan, and the vast energy was palpitating.
Even though Ren had a "thunder body", he couldn't bear this terrifying energy, his hair stood on end, and his skin uncontrollably generated electric current.
"Your Excellency Sorim."
Ren stood at the door and saluted far away.
Sorim stopped what he was doing, and the huge energy subsided immediately, and the runes that permeated the air also disappeared.
He turned his head, nodded gently and said, "Ren, come in."
Ren has already closed the eyes of the soul, but he still caught a glimmer of joy in the eyes of the elder Titan, obviously not because of welcoming him, but because of the source crystal he brought.
"Elder!" Athena followed in.
"It's Athena..." Solim saw the young titan with a kind face on his face, "You met Ren? Didn't you say anything you shouldn't say?"
"How is it possible!" Athena smiled happily: "I just asked him about the situation in the main material world, which is much more interesting than the storm plane."
Elder Titan was noncommittal.
When Ren and Athena walked in front of him, he also shrunk to two meters tall and turned into a sturdy middle-aged man with a resolute face and a white robe. He looked at Ren and asked, "You are so fast?" Just come back, I should have collected the source crystal?"
"Yes, elder." Ren replied with a smile, "I did collect a little bit."
"How many pounds of source crystals have you extracted, and what do you want to exchange?" Elder Solim asked.
"Seventeen thousand pounds."
Ren answered truthfully, took out the refined source crystal from the dimensional space ring, and made a bang when it fell on the ground.
Elder Solim originally just asked a routine question, and didn't have too much expectation for Ren, after all, Ren only left for more than a year. In the eyes of the demigod, one year is very short, and it feels like Rennes has returned not long after he left.
When he saw the half cubic source crystal that Renn took out, he suddenly lost his composure.
"so much!"
Athena next to her was also full of surprise, shocked by Ren's generous writing.
Source crystals are the most important resource of the storm giant, and the elders have spent a lot of effort in order to get enough source crystals.
Since thousands of years ago, the elders 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. Occasionally, they could save up to thousands of pounds, but no one had ever been able to take out more than 10,000 pounds in one go. A pound of source crystal, not to mention the first transaction.
Athena couldn't help but look at Ren again and again, as if she wanted to get to know this young human again.
Elder Solim couldn't wait to reach out and touch the source crystal, feel its material, and even broke a piece and held it in his hand to test it carefully.
"It's really a source crystal!"
"And it's been refined, with a purity of over 90, which can be directly used as fuel for the Titan's furnace!" Elder Solim exclaimed, unable to restrain the joy on his face.
He took out a huge balance and put the source crystal on it to measure, and it showed that the weight was not too much, which was the 17,000 pounds that Ryan said.
"Ren, you gave me a big surprise, even better than I imagined." Elder Sorim was in a very happy mood, and did not immediately collect the source crystals, nor did he ask where Ryan got these source crystals , asked happily: "What do you want to change?"
Ren has long thought of exchanging items.
"Please elders give me a Thundercast Colossus, a copy of 'Titan Rune Knowledge' and a Nebula Ring, and exchange all the rest into Titan Blue Iron."
