Chapter 141: We Don't Want This Dragon
Heki Stone, of all people, suddenly started calling himself the Dwarven King.
Something felt off to Ambrose. He hurriedly tried to scroll back through the chat history, but the Necromantic Codex only stored a pitifully small log. No matter how he tried to access the chat history, all he could see was Heki Stone's endless brags. Even by the time he reached the very limit of the storage, he still had no idea how this vampire had turned into the Dwarven King.
Left with no choice, Ambrose sent a message into the chat. [Megaman Tiga: What happened? Didn't I send you back to renegotiate with the Dwarf King? Did you start a rebellion?]
[Human-Hater: A rebellion? Would I need to resort to something so crude? A true intellectual needs no violence to take a kingdom. One need only tug gently at the threads of fate, and everything will fall into place. A lich who buries his head in experiments like you would never understand.]
Wow. What a smug tone. Dwarven vampires seemed absolutely graceless.
[Dullahan's Crown: Don't go asking about it anymore, Tiga. This guy's been showing off all day already. Don't let him keep doing it!]
That reaction only made Ambrose more curious. Just how had Heki Stone swallowed an entire kingdom whole? That might be something worth learning.
After thinking for a moment, Ambrose asked in a deliberately inquisitive tone: [Megaman Tiga: So what incredible method did you use to make the Dwarven King abdicate? You didn't… bite him and turn him into your blood thrall, did you?]
He meant it as a throwaway guess, but the chat went dead silent.
