This Lich Requests More Remuneration
Chapter 521 - 476: Destiny Won’t Wait for You to Grow Up_3

But to his surprise, it seemed Arthur had been waiting here for some time, and upon seeing Amberser, he couldn’t help but ask, "Has the Magic Dragon, truly been resurrected?"

Amberser replied helplessly, "You heard my conversation with Allen?"

"It didn’t sound like a conversation, more like an argument. Your voice was too loud, and this place isn’t that large."

Indeed, Amberser’s private space had no soundproofing, and he had been rather agitated earlier, raising his voice considerably.

Amberser said unhappily, "That idiot Allen is really going to be the death of me. After all we’ve been through, he’s still as childish as a greenhorn!"

But Arthur Laine countered, "Give him some time. It took us three full years from our first discussion to the slaying of the first Giant Dragon. And it hasn’t even been a year since Allen left Laine. Moreover, he’s still a child, much younger than I was back then."

"Only a year? Why does it feel so much longer?"

"In this private space of yours, a single day equals a year outside, so of course, it feels like a long time. But just a year ago, Allen was still a Paladin who had just started his travels."

Although Arthur Laine had become acquainted with Amberser later than he did with Allen, he particularly liked this "junior" and always made an effort to gather information about Allen, even knowing about the incident where Amberser tricked Allen out of five thousand Gold Coins.

In Arthur Laine’s view, a noble youth born into a life of affluence was a beneficiary of all of Laine’s extreme actions. That he could see the true nature of Laine’s fall was already quite remarkable.

There are not many who can perceive the bloodstains behind their benefits while enjoying those very benefits.

Arthur Laine felt that Amberser, with his centuries-old bones, was perhaps speaking without feeling the pain of standing.

Amberser might have also felt that he was being a bit too harsh. A twenty-year-old young man, a Paladin educated by Laine from a young age, being hot-blooded wasn’t strange.

But still, Amberser shook his head and said, "It’s a shame destiny doesn’t wait for you to grow up. If Allen can’t keep up with the times, more than just his life will be lost."

Arthur Laine replied with a smile, "Isn’t that where you come in to support him? I didn’t have such a powerful Lich backing me up in the beginning."

"I support him?!" Amberser said disdainfully. "If he wasn’t making me explode with Gold Coins, I would have sold him to the Magic Dragon today."

Arthur Laine just smiled quietly, watching Amberser as if too lazy to argue with him. In Arthur Laine’s view, this Lich was also crowned among the peaks of Lord of the Dawn’s Elonia, and no matter what he said, he wouldn’t let the Magic Dragon rule the world again.

Indeed, before Arthur Laine could offer comfort, Amberser got straight to the point, "Your Majesty Arthur, the Magic Dragon is your arch-nemesis. Now, assuming he has taken possession of your descendant’s Soul, how do you propose we deal with him?"

Arthur Laine pondered for a moment before replying, "We can’t be sure whether the Magic Dragon has revived, or to what extent if he has. We don’t know how much memory he retains, how much hatred for humans, or how much power. It’s difficult to formulate any plans. Aren’t you planning to meet him face to face? I quite agree with that approach. First, we need to confirm a few things!"

Amberser said helplessly, "The problem is, he’s too scared to meet me, and I can’t think of a suitable way to force a meeting."

Arthur Laine said calmly, "That’s simple, push me forward. Tell him that Arthur Laine still has a Heroic Spirit lingering in this world. If he retains his memories from that time, he will certainly come to meet me."
