I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 1671 - 920: A New Confrontation

[Desolate Flame Capital],Lis looked at Rodrick, who suddenly appeared beside him, nodded and said:

"Lord Rodrick, you’ve been using the equipment I made for so long, only now finding out?"

After returning to the Abyss from [Morlock’s Little World], Lis began his previous plan.

Although he had obtained the inheritance of the demigod from Timothy’s relics of [Blood Erosion Fang], to be honest, Lis didn’t get much useful intelligence from it.

Of course, there was plenty of information about Timothy’s own cultivation and the Abyss Demons, but there was little intel about other Abyss Planes in the Endless Abyss.

This might be part of Timothy’s remaining inheritance, which Lis could only access after breaking through to Legend.

It is also possible that Timothy really did not know much about other Abyss Planes.

If so, then Timothy was quite a homebody Vampire!

Therefore, in addition to Timothy’s inheritance, Lis also planned to obtain more intelligence regarding the Endless Abyss from other sources.

Among these, Vivian Tavern should be the most suitable target.

Although Vivian Tavern always gave him a rather peculiar feeling, it indeed offered quite a bit of useful information.

And to obtain intelligence from Vivian, the most convenient way was still through trade.

However, just like in Gaia World, the more precious the information, the higher the cost.

And since Lis didn’t plan to obtain soul coins by slaughtering in the Material World, he had to find a way to get it from other demons.

And after some simple research, Lis found that selling weapons was more convenient.

Because for the Abyss Demons, the vast majority fight directly using their powerful bodies.

It’s not that they don’t need equipment; it’s just that there is too little equipment suitable for them.

The Abyss Demons who master forging technology are few, and most are under the command of those powerful Abyss Lords.

And ordinary weapons and equipment simply cannot surpass the strong bodies of the Abyss Demons.

So, this also led to Abyss Demons getting used to fighting without weapons and equipment.

Of course, if they had a better option, they wouldn’t refuse.

For Abyss Demons, greater strength is what matters most.

Therefore, they were quite enthusiastic about the weapons and equipment provided by Edward.

Of course, Edward didn’t provide them casually.

Only the Balrog Flame Demons were eligible to receive his equipment.

This was proposed by Rodrick after experiencing Edward’s weapons and equipment himself.

To him, such good items should only be used by the rulers of this Abyss Plane, the Balrog Flame Demons.

And naturally so.

Lis’s forging ability had long been recognized by the Dwarf Craftsmen, and forging some weapons and equipment for these Balrog Flame Demons was an easy task.

A lot of the materials Lis acquired from his main body were specifically prepared for this purpose.

These Balrog Flame Demons had never seen such good stuff, and they had all saved quite a bit of money.

They were complete fools for such deals.

As more and more Balrog Flame Demons experienced the weapons and equipment forged by Edward, the more came to order from him.

They are all demons, and there are times when they cannot agree.

Why should you get yours first?

First come, first served?

The Abyss has no such rule!

So, it evolved to where every time Edward forged some weapons or equipment, they would be contested by the Balrog Flame Demons through force.

Whoever won was entitled to pay Edward.

Rodrick, who introduced Edward’s equipment to the other Flame Demons, never imagined Edward would have such an influence among the Balrog Flame Demons.

Even a lot of Balrog Flame Demons would come seeking his favor.

Hoping to get Edward’s forged weapons and equipment first.

This greatly pleased Rodrick.

He indeed had a discerning eye, having set his sights on Edward from the start.

As a result, he valued Edward even more.

Though unsure why Edward loved money so much, he did not mind.

As the ruling group of the Desolate Flame Plain, the Balrog Flame Demons enjoyed considerable advantages.

There weren’t many places to spend money ordinarily, they couldn’t absorb it all directly, using it to appease a capable subordinate was quite a good use.

Faced with Rodrick’s overtures, Lis naturally took it in his stride.

Anyway, as far as he was concerned, money is money, regardless of where it comes from.

Perfect for trading with Vivian.

In his communications with Vivian, Lis learned that Vivian Tavern even sold intelligence about the Abyss Lords.

Among them was information regarding the 88th Layer Saltwater Swamp of the Endless Abyss.

They really dared to sell it!

Lis was somewhat amazed.

This information was very important to Lis.

Past experiences had made Lis very cautious of Demon Prince Demogorgon.

He was the most dangerous entity in the Endless Abyss, and Lis feared falling into his schemes at any moment.

Moreover, Lis was planning to travel to the 12th Layer, which might require passing through the 88th Layer Saltwater Swamp.

The more intelligence he gathered, the better prepared he would be.

Therefore, Lis never refused the soul coins offered by the Balrog Flame Demons.

"Lord Rodrick, so what brings you to me this time?"

"If it’s for equipment repairs, I must charge a fee this time."

For this, Lis was somewhat helpless.

These Balrog Flame Demons, after getting his equipment, treated it like some novel toy, constantly clashing with each other all day.
