“What do you want?”
Richard said slowly.
“Lord Peim, all I ask is to honor our agreement.”
“That’s all?”
Peim looked at him with interest.
Richard smiled.
“Of course, if you are willing to give me eight or ten divine artifacts, I will not refuse.”
Pim laughed.
“You sure dare to dream.”
Peim waved his hand as soon as he finished speaking.
The illusory silver scale stared at him in his hand.
He placed a thin wing on one end of the scale. He tilted the weighing treasure due to its undetectable weight. The other end was empty.
He gently rubbed the scale for a moment. Then majestic energy surged out of Peim’s body.
Streaks of light turned into balls of light and landed on the other end of the scale under Richard’s somewhat absent-minded gaze.
The wings tilted and gradually balanced the scale.
The scale reached a boundary.
Those light balls shattered like glass and turned into flowing lights. They fused into the scale.
A scroll gradually appeared on the newly empty scale afterward. After a few breaths, it condensed into a physical form.
Peim narrowed his eyes, and the energy in his body surged again.
The miniature scroll flew away from the scale.
Every half an inch away from the scale of the scroll became three times wider.
The scroll had already fully expanded when it landed Peim’s hands.
This scene looked quite mystical.
Peim chuckled at Richard’s curiosity.
“Young fellow, this must have shocked you, correct? This wishing scale was a genuine high-level divine artifact. It contained the power of laws for fair exchange.”
“The god of creation forged this divine artifact. Its value is immeasurable.”
He proudly raised his head as he spoke.
“I snatched this from the hands of that ancient red dragon!”
Some ancient ruins must have developed that ancient red dragon. But that was no longer important. What mattered most was the treasure in his hands.
The divine weapon was not a sinner, although they were hostile to all gods. Moreover, the god of creation forged it.
That was a well-deserved treasure.
Richard looked at the old fellow’s expression, and his mouth twitched.
He recalled the first time he met him. This old fellow’s personality made people disrespect him.
“Here, this is the reward I promised you.”
Peim said as he handed over the scroll in Richard’s hand.
“This scroll can forcefully enslave a transcendent.”
As Peim spoke, Richard could feel that he was in pain, but he forced himself to maintain his face.
“It’s just a few small things. Come and find me if you need anything in the future.”
Richard found it funny, but he no longer said anything.
He reached out to receive it. He felt the boundless energy from the scroll and was overjoyed.
He had planned for several months, anticipated unprecedented risks, and even became enemies with the evil god that could tremble the abyss. He did everything for this scroll.
A precious and rare scroll.
[Contract Scroll]
[Level: Legendary]
[Special Characteristic: It can forcibly enslave a transcendent lifeform and make it eternally loyal to the scroll holder.]
[Description: An extremely precious treasure.]
Richard was excited.
This scroll represented too many meanings.
Twilight City could have transcendents from today onwards!
The other dimensional planes merged into the desert of death, and the world would drastically change.
The uncertainty of the future increased.
Transcendents were the power to step into another level. They represented the power to survive.
Twilight City could protect itself with the transcendents.
He would add this to the trump cards he previously accumulated.
Now, he already had a strength no one could underestimate.
He developed steadily for so long. It finally matured.
