This Lich Requests More Remuneration
Chapter 552 - 491: Ways to Deal with the Magic Dragon Tyrant_3

"As for the last issue of manpower, I indeed cannot provide so many Divine Archers. Even if I create them using the weaving soul method, I could only mass-produce ones that can aim and pull triggers... But don’t the Elf Tribe and other kingdoms have many? These rifles of mine aren’t restricted to just the Undead."

Amberser alone could not possess so many Skeleton Archer troops, but Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Druids, and Fury Tide Kingdom together would certainly be sufficient.

Katherine hastily said, "The Elf Tribe won’t be dragged into the mire by you."

Amberser, however, smiled and said, "What do you mean by me dragging the Elf Tribe into the mire? If I confirm that the Magic Dragon has truly awakened, can your Elf Tribe still remain uninvolved? Do you really think that in the past, the Dragon Race didn’t fight with your Elf Tribe because they were kind-hearted?

"Even if they didn’t act back then, your last Elven King did rebel with Arthur Laine. Do you think the revived Magic Dragon wouldn’t hold a grudge?"

These words from Amberser left Katherine speechless.

It seemed indeed so; the Elf Tribe could no longer stay uninvolved.

"But the Mana Addiction Disease hasn’t been solved yet."

Katherine was most worried about this; most of their youth had contracted the Mana Addiction Disease, and breaking the seal to fight would hasten their death. This thing wasn’t like doing surgery, where you could just open up and re-seal—each time was a major operation; how many could a normal person endure?

"I understand this; Mana Addiction Disease is indeed a major problem. However, I should be able to solve it."

This statement from Amberser gave Katherine a shock, and she couldn’t help but ask, "Were you deceiving me before? Did you actually have a solution all along?"

Sealing Skill was just a temporary measure, not a cure for Mana Addiction Disease—it only turned Elves into half-invalids to preserve life, not to treat the disease.

And now this Lich says he can solve it?

Katherine suddenly felt deeply hurt.

Yet Amberser, not the least bit guilty, said, "What are you thinking? I have always been honest in business. The Sealing Skill I gave you before was the best solution I could offer at that time; absolutely nothing was withheld. After all, the knowledge Shael gave me from the Dark Web was limited, and I’ve done my best figuring out that kind of Sealing Skill."

"Then how can you solve it now? Don’t tell me you’ve made a breakthrough in your research!"

Katherine stared at Amberser’s face, needing a reason, or else she could never trust a word this Lich said again.

However, Amberser’s answer made Katherine speechless.

"My research hasn’t had a breakthrough; I just have a premonition that I will soon possess all the knowledge of the Dark Web. Trust me, a Diviner Mage’s premonition won’t be wrong, and then I will find a definitive solution."

"How is that possible?" Katherine retorted, "Look how terribly you’ve wronged Shael; they wouldn’t give you the knowledge of the Dark Web. You can’t possibly do to Shael what you did to Koutao Mermaid Goddess, kidnapping them."

This was indeed impossible.

The Koutao Mermaid Goddess had a mental flaw, a psychological defect branded in her racial traits, which Amberser exploited. Shael didn’t have this weakness; it was impossible to coax them out of the Divine Realm. Something even Serene couldn’t do, a mere mortal shouldn’t dream of."

But Amberser still confidently said, "Trust my intuition; I am the favored one of the Goddess of Fate. Even if this is a trap set by the Goddess of Fate, everything I foresee will come to pass."

No matter if others believed it or not, Amberser now had unwavering faith in his own premonitions.

The only concern was... whether this was really a sugar-coated bullet thrown by the Goddess of Fate, or why else would Shael give him the knowledge of the Dark Web?
