This Lich Requests More Remuneration

Thinking of this, Harvey felt a bit awkward. How was he supposed to prove that the castle belonged to his master? Hircine smiled and said, "If this is truly your teacher’s castle, we Elf Tribe don’t have a habit of seizing other people’s property. However, with the Royal Capital now in chaos, I’m afraid it’s going to be difficult to verify this at the Goblin Bank. If you don’t mind, you’re welcome to stay and have a cup of tea.

"Rebellions, whether successful or failures, tend to be resolved quickly. Perhaps by waiting a day, calm will be restored."

Harvey thought the elf made a lot of sense. Since destiny had guided him here, there must be a reason, and he shouldn’t just turn around and leave. Perhaps this unfamiliar elf was the key to his ascent to legendary status?

With that thought, Harvey asked, "Thank you for your understanding. My name is William Harvy, a common mage. May I ask your name?"

Hircine bowed slightly, speaking elegantly, "Hircine. You can call me Hircine. Unfortunately, I don’t know much about magic. I’m just an ordinary elf with a little money who likes to travel."

"Hircine..."

The name carried a peculiar magic power, inducing a familiar feeling in Harvey as if he had heard it somewhere before. People tend to relax around what they find familiar, and this inexplicable sense of familiarity made Harvey feel a stronger fondness for the elf.
