Chapter 318 - 296: As Long as He Likes It
Blame a Lich for this?
Is there no humanity left, no sense to speak of anymore?
Amberser would absolutely not shoulder this blame.
Shael, however, said smugly, "Heh, you are indeed adept at sophistry, but it’s pointless. Not every deity likes to reason. Believe me, I can spread this news to all deities in no time, and as long as one or two unreasonable ones decide to make trouble for you... when that happens, come to me, I won’t mind offering you a little help, provided you pay the appropriate price."
"Thank you for the Goddess’s generosity, but let’s talk business, shall we? Are you sure you won’t offer up anything nicer in exchange? If not, I’m sorry to say, these two divine positions cannot be offered to you."
Shael did not expect Amberser to remain so calm and said mockingly, "You still want to do business, you truly are a money-grubbing Lich."
Amberser replied calmly, "As you have said, what difference does it make for a mortal to struggle or not when faced with a deity? It is better to focus on what one can control."
Amberser didn’t take this threat to heart; he had offended many deities—if he were meant to die, it would have happened long ago.
As long as deities don’t take action personally, what is there for Amberser the Lich to fear?
If things really went south, he could seek the senior Ghoul, choose a coffin in its crypt, bury himself within, and emerge after five hundred years when the divine wars had long concluded.
