Chapter 452 - 306: Path of Fate (1)
Ails was ready to leave after concluding the business, but Malin had just received a job offer. After some thought, Malin decided to keep this guy around. "I’ve got a job to do, a discernment."
"Discernment? Sounds like I should quietly walk away, not become the spectacle itself. Are you sure I can go watch the show without becoming the show?" Ails asked warily.
Malin thought again—hey, maybe he was still treating this talkative lich too much like a person. After all, this guy was just a bag of bones; chatting away in his own territory or any other wilderness was no issue, but actually bringing him along might really turn out like he said, turning from a spectator to the spectacle.
That wouldn’t be fun.
"Alright, we’ll get in touch tomorrow. Oh, and take this with you, ask around for a price. If possible, settle in gold ingots or some other solid currency." Before leaving, Malin tossed Ails a potion, then mounted his light single-person motorcycle and sped off with a twist of the throttle.
Watching Malin disappear into the distance, Ails looked at the emerald potion in his hand and exhaled a puff of frosty breath.
·The little guy... probably didn’t do it on purpose.
Had he not caught the potion, Ails feared he might have become a part of history in the coming years.
Then again, how much could this thing fetch in Mark City... Forget five times the price; Ails felt this life-energy-carrying potion deserved far more than a fivefold increase to reflect its prestige.
With a touch of curiosity, Ails opened a portal. Before stepping through, he cast a transformation spell on himself, turning into a pink-skinned prairie elf. He swapped his clothing for something more elegant from his spatial bag, checked his appearance in a mirror formed from water elements, and then stepped through the portal.
