This Lich Requests More Remuneration

The Githyanki did not recognize Amber in his human form, nor did they recognize Airel and Arthur, but something felt off. The aura of the three before them was starkly different, even contradictory; could this really be a team?

But they were indeed very powerful; the elite squad they had brought had no chance to fight back at all.

Although the Githyanki were fierce and violent, they did not wish to die meaninglessly. Since these three were willing to communicate, they decided to stall for time until their other comrades arrived.

The leader of the Githyanki said to Amberser, "Who exactly are you?"

Amberser calmly replied, "Before asking someone’s identity, it’s polite to introduce oneself first; that’s the etiquette in the Prime Material Plane."

"I am the leader of Group Eight, Seventh Column of the Star Expeditionary Army. My name is General, now it’s your turn."

Amberser did not bother to remember this convoluted name and was not about to reveal his true identity. After all, he was a Lich who had slaughtered several thousand Githyanki. Therefore, Amberser responded, "I’m just a Necromancer passing by, you can call me Kel’Thuzad."

Airel glanced at Amberser. Was this Lich always so natural at using a fake name? She wondered how many times he had practiced and deceived others.

Wait, could the name Diga Ultraman also be fake?

While Airel was pondering these questions, Amberser had finished exchanging pleasantries with the Githyanki leader and had gotten a rough idea of their situation.
