This Lich Requests More Remuneration

In Jiana’s young heart, her teacher was like an angel—pure, kind, and magnificent. Not only was she beautiful and intelligent, but she was also full of power.

It wasn’t easy for Jiana to escape; she had fled to the front of this castle, wounds all over her body, only to pass out. By the time Jiana woke up, she had already been saved by Isabel.

Although grateful for Isabel’s help, Jiana knew she had to be honest with her—she wasn’t just any runaway slave; she had injured a buyer right before being sold and then made her escape.

For a slave trader, such a deed was an absolute death sentence, and they would need to capture her and torture her brutally to appease the buyer.

In Jiana’s eyes, she could not let someone as angelic as Isabel get dragged into this.

However, Isabel simply said with indifference, "Those slave traders have already come by, and your issue has been settled. Don’t worry, they won’t dare to bother you again."

Jiana never expected to hear these words; how could those terrifying slave traders just let her go? What price did this kind sister have to pay?

Only later did Jiana find out that Isabel hadn’t paid any significant price; she had just bought her at the lowest price, and the slave traders did not dare utter another word.

Because Isabel was a famous alchemist, and the former owner of this castle was an even greater existence—an entity Jiana couldn’t hope to reach in her lifetime.

Jiana never thought that after only a few days of studying with Isabel, she would meet that legendary figure.
