The lich entered the familiar yet foreign Soulcry Castle, immediately greeted by human researchers wearing white coats and masks.
"Hello, I am Maggsy Qulin, a researcher from the Imperial Magic Department."
"You must be Director Orestes as mentioned by the higher-ups. Please follow me. I'll show you around the new office environment."
Maggsy slightly bowed, respectfully extending his hand.
He was long accustomed to this. After all, in the Ashen Empire's melting pot of races, having a superior of any creature, even a lich, was not strange.
"Uh... hello."
Orestes was stunned for a moment before reacting to shake hands with the human. Since he had transformed into a lich, it had been centuries since a human dared to stand before him without fear, estimating nearly three hundred years.
Hearing the human's words, the lich felt inexplicably absurd.
Clearly, this was Orestes' residence for three hundred years, every corner was exceedingly familiar to him.
