"How many Gold Coins can you offer?"
When Amberser asked this question, not only did it stun Naomi, this little Druid girl, but even the Witch was taken aback, not expecting things to go so smoothly. It took her a good while to recover.
Excited, the Witch exclaimed, "You want money? Fine, I can give you five thousand Gold Coins!"
A chill ran through Naomi's heart. Could the Lich really betray the contract for five thousand Gold Coins?
Probably not, after all, they had negotiated for ten thousand Gold Coins, and it was the Druids who were offering more.
True to form, Amberser did not agree. Instead, he said to the Witch, "Only five thousand? That's not enough. The Druids have offered me fifty thousand Gold Coins."
Naomi: ...
Her earlier self-comfort now seemed utterly meaningless. This Lich was the kind that would blurt out anything!
