Chapter 298 - 276 Amberser’s New Research
Amberser returned to his underground alchemy factory from the Silvermoon Tribunal.
Although the deal wasn’t a success, it wasn’t a complete waste of time either, as Amberser had sold the secrets he knew about Arthur Laine to Hake Stone, making a small fortune of several million gold coins.
Out of consideration for the face of the Elegy Poetry Society, it was necessary to offer a discount to one’s own people, but if it had been someone else, it wouldn’t have been priced at anything less than several hundred million.
Knowing the truth about the Dragon Blood Curse, the Dwarf Vampire wailed for minutes on end, excited like a boisterous child. Then Hake Stone decisively sent Amberser away, saying that for the next few years he would be in seclusion to write a book, a history that would be remembered for ages.
With such a noble dream, Amberser was pleased for him and declared he wanted a fifty percent cut of the royalties, and his name had to be included as a co-author.
Hake Stone tried to argue using the Desert People’s disregard for copyright, but Amberser decisively pulled out another card.
"If you don’t give me royalties and credit, I’ll tell this secret to other historians, and I believe they will be more than happy to give me these things."
Hake Stone surrendered decisively. Compared to the dream of making history, mere royalties and credit were trivial—it was nothing more than hush money for the Lich.
Only then did Amberser satisfiedly return to his alchemy factory.
He checked on the work and found everything was going smoothly.
