I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means
Chapter 1631 - 901: Relic of the Former Lord (Part 2)
That is to say, many of the Abyss Demons hosted by this tavern come from other Abyss Planes.
And judging by their appearance, they seem different from other Abyss Demons, being the type that is a relatively rational rare species.
Here, Lis often hears some interesting news.
For example, the Spider Queen Rose is recruiting some Abyss Lords...
For example, the Abyss Lord of the 32nd layer Tovos has been missing for a long time, and his halted Devouring behavior has allowed the lords of the surrounding planes to breathe a sigh of relief...
For example, there have been many anomalies in the 88th layer [Saltwater Swamp] plane, and most Abyss Demons dare not approach there...
Lis is also quite interested in these situations.
In fact, Lis can completely purchase this information from Vivian.
But after Lis asked about the price, he temporarily gave up on this idea.
The price in soul coins is still unbearable for the current Lis.
It’s been a long time since Lis has experienced this feeling of lacking money.
Gotta find a way to make some money!
Lis pondered in his heart.
Recently, he has more or less figured out the general situation of the [Desolate Flame Capital].
Because of the relationship with Rodrick in the last war, Lis is still quite favored among the Legendary Balrog Flame Demon leaders of this Demon City.
Many Balrog Flame Demons are happy to befriend Lis.
Thus, it has also brought Lis many conveniences.
And during this period, Lis has more or less made up his mind.
In that case, I can only return to my old trade.
Forging Furnace, activate!
Just as Lis was thinking of making something to empty the wallets of those Abyss Demons, Vivian on the other side suddenly looked at Lis and said:
"My dear Edward, you seem to be troubled, don’t you?"
"If you want to buy intelligence but lack money, I wonder if you would be willing to help me with a task?"
After a pause, Vivian smiled and said:
"Of course, the reward will surely satisfy you."
"What task?"
Lis was a bit surprised.
This was the first time Vivian had proactively brought up something else to him.
During this period, he has spent quite some time at Vivian Tavern.
Of course, apart from the initial intelligence, everything else he learned was from other people there.
Vivian didn’t seem to mind Lis’ behavior, sometimes intentionally or unintentionally leaking some basic intelligence to him.
Thus, Lis had quite a good impression of Vivian.
Of course, Lis was also very clear that, as an Enchanting Demon, Vivian wasn’t someone to really trust.
Lis still maintained a bit of caution regarding Vivian’s goodwill.
According to his understanding, Vivian Tavern has a presence in many Abyss Planes.
It seems to be backed by a powerful Abyss Lord, so it received considerable privileges in many areas.
But which Abyss Lord exactly, remains unknown.
Some speculate it’s the Demon Prince Demogorgon, others guess it’s the Enchanting Demon Queen.
But Lis hasn’t gotten any confirmed information from other demons in the tavern,
However, it seems that Vivian Tavern is one of the few neutral and safe zones in each Abyss Plane.
However, it seems that entering here requires some qualifications.
Otherwise, Vivian Tavern wouldn’t just host these Abyss Demons.
But for the current Lis, Vivian’s place is still a relatively valuable existence.
Thus, Lis didn’t refuse to communicate with Vivian.
"A commission."
Vivian smiled as she added:
"Edward, aren’t you quite proficient in Blood Magic?"
"We have just obtained a lead regarding the former lord of the 106th layer [Desolate Flame Plain], his former residence in a hidden place west of [Desolate Flame Capital]."
"That ruin contains many Magic Restrictions, I need you to explore that ruin and bring back any valuable clues."
"The reward is a thousand soul coins or other intelligence."
Vivian smiled as she spoke.
"The former lord’s relic?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Lis raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
In fact, exploring relics like this should be common in the Gaia Main World, but should be rare in the Endless Abyss.
Here, how could those Abyss Lords have so much time and energy to establish a residence and leave treasures behind?
Just like the current Desolate Flame Capital, Lis doesn’t believe that even if the Legendary Fire Demon disappeared, there would be something valuable here besides soul coins and some resources.
However, the reward offered by Vivian was quite generous.
Lis didn’t care much about the soul coins or anything like that.
But he was quite concerned if he could get more intelligence from Vivian.
"Since it’s a place left by a former Abyss Lord, doesn’t Lord Dominic know about it?"
Lis muted the sound, looking at Vivian as he asked.
Vivian smiled slightly, softly saying:
"For Lord Dominic, mastering this Abyss Plane is the most important thing."
"As for the relics of the former lord, he doesn’t care."
"After all, the former lord was a Demigod Vampire, and even if he obtained it, it would be useless to him as a Balrog Flame Demon."
After pausing, Vivian continued to add:
"Moreover, that relic is quite dangerous, with numerous traps and Magic Mechanisms left by the former lord, even Lord Dominic does not dare to enter casually."
Demigod Vampire?
Upon hearing this information, Lis couldn’t help but become interested.
If that’s the case, then the items not very important to Dominic might be very useful to him now.
But...
Lis looked at the enchanting Vivian in front of him and asked in a deep voice:
"I remember earlier, didn’t you advise me to obey Dominic?"
"Why are you telling me about this now?"
"Isn’t your master Dominic?"
"My dear Edward, this is an important secret about our tavern!"
"Of course, if you complete my commission, I might tell you~"
Vivian winked at Lis playfully, not directly answering.
"Then I’ll need all the information about that ruin."
Seeing that Vivian was not prepared to answer, Lis didn’t mind.
It was obvious from other Abyss Demons that they were very familiar with Vivian and this Liu Huan.
There are similar taverns in other Abyss Planes.
And although Dominic is a young leader, he is ultimately just a Legendary Balrog Flame Demon.
His power and prestige are not enough to support Vivian Tavern, which spans multiple Abyss Planes.
That is to say, the entity behind Vivian Tavern should be far stronger than Dominic.
However, judging from the relationship between Vivian Tavern and Lord Dominic, there seems to be some tacit understanding or cooperation between them.
In that case, it’s also good news for Lis.
Although Lis has killed a Demigod Vampire before, that doesn’t mean Demigod Vampires are weak.
Or rather, there are hardly any simple Demigods.
Lis only succeeded in killing it under the influence of numerous factors.
And the remnants of a Demigod Vampire could be very useful to him now.
Vivian, while discussing the intelligence of that relic with Lis, also spoke softly:
"Regarding the reward I mentioned earlier, as long as Sir Edward can bring back valuable intelligence, it’s all yours."
"Of course, if you can delve deeply into that relic and bring out the former lord’s scepter, I’d be willing to pay a price you’d be satisfied with!"
Scepter...
Lis glanced at Vivian.
It seems that Vivian Tavern possesses a lot of knowledge about that Demigod Vampire’s relic, huh?
If that’s the case, why not dispatch someone to explore it?
Lis does not believe that an organization spread across multiple Abyss Planes would lack the strength to explore a Demigod’s relic?
Lis is one of the few vampires in the Abyss, but he feels there should be more than one reason.
After pausing for a moment, Lis asked Vivian:
"You haven’t told me the name of that former lord yet."
"Demigod Vampire [Blood Erosion Fang] Timothy!"
Vivian said softly.
