When he saw the Scarlet Skull Goblet, Syed did not react as strongly as Fiona did.

He knew how important the Scarlet Skull Goblet was, and he knew it was tied to the future of the Red Dwarves.

Syed had lived for nearly three hundred years. He had seen many things, so even when he was surprised, he would not show too much reaction.

But!

When he heard Fiona say that Aiden had mastered the Divine Golden Sunflame, Syed’s breathing suddenly stopped.

His whole body seemed to go stiff. He tilted his head back a little so he could look at Aiden more carefully.

"Divine Golden Sunflame?"

"Is it really the Divine Golden Sunflame?" Syed asked in disbelief, twice.

Fiona nodded hard and said very firmly, "There’s no mistake. The signs of the Divine Golden Sunflame are still very clear!"

"The burning golden light. I can’t be wrong about that."

At once, after Syed confirmed that Aiden really had the Divine Golden Sunflame, he started breathing again, and his breathing quickly became rough and fast.

His figure suddenly vanished from where he stood, and when he appeared again, he was already in front of Aiden.

"Show me," Syed said quickly.

Aiden was a little stunned. He could not figure out why Syed had such a big reaction.

Was the Divine Golden Sunflame even more important to the Red Dwarves than the Scarlet Skull Goblet?

Seeming to notice Aiden’s confusion, Syed took a deep breath and explained:

"Sorry. I got too excited."

"Since you have the Divine Golden Sunflame, you should know very well how powerful and terrifying it is, right?"

Aiden nodded. Ever since the Divine Golden Sunflame had reached Mythic Rank, it had truly become one of the skills he used most often.

Whether he was killing Demon genius or fighting Mythic Rank Miko Blaine, the Divine Golden Sunflame had played an important role.

"For the Red Dwarves Clan, the greatest use of the Divine Golden Sunflame is not in battle, but in forging," Syed said with a serious expression.

Different flames can forge equipment with different effects.

For example, if the same materials are forged with soul fire, the finished equipment may have special effects related to soul power.

It could be said that any Red Dwarves who possess a special flame, as long as nothing happens to them along the way, can eventually become a Forge Master.

Syed gave a brief explanation, then took a deep breath and continued:

"And among all the flames currently known to the Red Dwarves, the Divine Golden Sunflame is the most special."

"Because once it evolves, it can become the Eternal Golden Flame, one of the Legendary flames."

"It burns forever and never goes out. Not only can it melt everything in the world, but it can also repair damage and even give new life to the dead."

Hearing this, Aiden’s eyes instantly widened.

Eternal Golden Flame?

If the Divine Golden Sunflame evolved, it would become the Eternal Golden Flame?

"Then how can the Divine Golden Sunflame evolve?" Aiden asked without thinking.

To complete the Bane of All Races2·genius nightmare, he had spent a huge amount of time and effort. His main goal was to get a resurrection item.

And the Eternal Golden Flame Syed mentioned, which could give new life to the dead, sounded even more powerful than a resurrection item.

Normally, a resurrection item could only be used on oneself. It could not bring back someone who had already died long ago.

"The Eternal Golden Flame is too mysterious. Even I don’t know how to make it evolve," Syed said, shaking his head.

Even so, he still said that even if Aiden only had the Divine Golden Sunflame, that would already be enough for the future.

"If you can become a Forgemaster, then with enough materials to practice on, you will definitely be able to make Mythic Rank equipment in the future, and your success rate will be far higher than other Forgemasters!"

"And the equipment you make may even have special effects!" As he spoke, Syed’s eyes grew excited.

But that excitement soon disappeared.

After all, Aiden was a human, not a Red Dwarves. Syed felt deep regret and disappointment about that.

If Aiden were a Red Dwarves, he would definitely spare no effort to train him and make him into a stronger Forgemaster.

If that happened, the strength of the Red Dwarves Clan would rise greatly!

"What a pity. This human has already mastered the Divine Golden Sunflame, and I have no way to transfer the Divine Golden Sunflame to another Red Dwarves," Syed thought to himself.

Fiona blinked and looked at Syed.

For some reason, she felt that just now, Syed grandpa had suddenly felt a little unfamiliar to her for a moment.

Aiden also noticed that something was off. The excitement and joy in his heart quickly faded, though his expression did not change much.

"Does this Syed Red Dwarves want the Divine Golden Sunflame?"

"Or does he want to take the Scarlet Skull Goblet from me?" Aiden’s mind moved fast.

He had to admit, he had been a little careless.

When he saw how close Fiona and Syed were, he had relaxed without thinking.

This was not Earth. This was the Abyss!

"Remember this: no matter when it is, never lose your guard or your caution!" Aiden’s eyes flickered.

Just then, Fiona suddenly said, "Grandpa Syed, tomorrow Malcolm is going to execute my brother in public."

"My brother is your student, so you..."

Fiona looked very nervous, and her eyes were full of hope.

Syed glanced at the Scarlet Skull Goblet in Aiden’s hand, then slowly replied,

"Don’t worry. If Malcolm finds out that the Scarlet Skull Goblet is in your friend’s hands, your brother will definitely not be in danger."

"Don’t worry too much. In a little while, you can follow me to the Undercity."

Fiona immediately became excited. She pumped her fist and said, "That’s great!"

But Aiden felt that something was strange. What did Fiona’s brother, Karls, have to do with the Scarlet Skull Goblet?

Why did Syed say that as long as they had the Scarlet Skull Goblet, Karls would not be in danger?

Aiden found it strange, but right now he knew too little to make a reasonable guess.

It couldn’t be that Karls could also produce Crimson Blood like the Scarlet Skull Goblet, right?

Aiden shook his head, then turned his gaze toward Kora, who was lying on the ground.

At this moment, Kora was not only suffering the intense pain caused by the soul fire, but also the strong regret in his heart.

"That human actually has the Scarlet Skull Goblet, and Lord Syed has appeared too... If only I had waited a little longer..." Kora muttered in a trembling voice.

At that moment, Syed, who was standing in the air, lowered his head slightly and also looked at Kora.

Then, Kora suddenly let out a miserable scream.

Faint white smoke suddenly came out from his mouth, nostrils, eyes, and ears. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Get lost," Syed said with disgust.

But Kora did not move at all. He just lay there with a blank look on his face, weakly reaching out one arm as he begged,

"I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."

"Please, please!"

Syed did not hesitate at all and simply looked away.

The soul fire was burning Kora’s soul. From now on, Kora would still be able to live, but his soul would be damaged. He would become a completely useless Red Dwarves.

If not for Fiona, Syed would have killed Kora long ago.

"Let’s go. We’re heading to the Undercity," Syed said as he looked toward the mountains north of Greenvale.

The Undercity of the Red Dwarves was beneath that endless mountain range.

...

The next day, in the Undercity, inside Malcolm’s palace.

In the magnificent golden hall, Demon Duke Ethan stood with a smile on his face, looking elegant and confident as he faced the Red Dwarves ministers around him and Malcolm, the King of the Red Dwarves, who sat on the throne.

Ethan smiled slightly and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, King of the Red Dwarves, and all of you mighty and towering Red Dwarves, our Demon Clan has truly come here with great sincerity."

"If you agree to our terms, then not only will you recover the lost Scarlet Skull Goblet, but you will also become allies of the Demon Clan. And once we conquer Earth, you will also gain a large amount of land, resources, slaves... and the hope of becoming one of the final victors."

After speaking, Ethan began carefully watching Malcolm’s reaction.

Malcolm said nothing. He simply stroked his black beard with a blank expression.

As for the Red Dwarves ministers around him, they began whispering among themselves:

"Getting back the Scarlet Skull Goblet is something worth drinking three bottles of fine wine for!"

"Exactly. And if we really become allies with the Demon Clan, that would be worth celebrating with two more bottles!"

"I think this is not that simple. There are also many divine powerhouse among the humans on Earth. But compared to the Demon Clan, the number of human divine powerhouse is still not enough. Since the Demon Clan can defeat the humans, why do they need our help?"

"You have a point. Our Red Dwarves are brave, strong, powerful, and tall, but we also do not like starting wars of invasion."

"Right. Even if Earth is really conquered, what if the Demon Clan suddenly breaks their promise?"

"Not to mention that many other races of the Abyss also want to conquer Earth. By then, our Red Dwarves Clan would become the enemy of all those the Abyss races."

Hearing the discussion around him, the smile on Ethan’s face slowly disappeared.

Still, he was not too worried, because Malcolm, the King of the Red Dwarves, had not yet given his opinion.

"When do you plan to launch a full-scale invasion of Earth?" Malcolm suddenly asked.
