Chapter 594
I think about his offer and see only green mist coming off his aura from my lie detector skill.
Even so, the Lich King's calm demeanor and willingness to help me feels very out of character for a self proclaimed Dark God. Even if he is my summon, I want confirmation that whatever this True Core progression is, it is a safe direction to move toward.
The only person I'd trust to ask is Ember.
The last time I saw him, he was falling asleep while I opened my item storage beneath him.
While many days have passed in real time outside, in the depths of my storage, not a single fraction of a second has passed.
It may be possible to send a single message to him before he goes into full hibernation.
This seems like the best course of action now, rather than taking the Lich King's word at face value.
I stand in silence for a few seconds, thinking up a plan, then take a step back from my shadow summon.
"Possibly. Give me a moment to get a second opinion on the terms of your offer."
