Chapter 206 -190: Shocking the Group Members Again_2

[Dislikes-Humans: Pfft, you’re the one who likes unofficial history, I’m a bona fide historian! I’ve published hundreds of papers at “Legendary Spell”.]

Amberser was a bit shocked. You can’t judge a book by its cover, really, and he quickly praised, “Incredible, a famous scholar with as many writings as your stature.”

At this moment, Headless Bro burst out laughing with a string of laughter, “Hahahaha! Writings as tall as oneself… hahaha… The Dwarves do have a special advantage in that area.]

[Dislikes-Humans: XXXXXXX! Gareth, let’s duel, I’ll fit a pig’s head onto your neck!]

[Crown of the Headless Knight: I’m not the one insulting your height. I was just explaining the joke.]

[Diga Ultraman: Gareth, don’t spread rumors and slander, I didn’t mean that. No joke, I actually have some issues I’d like to consult you on.]

[Dislikes-Humans: 20,000 Gold Coins per question, that’s my standard fee. But seeing as we’re friends, I’ll give you a 2% discount.]

[Diga Ultraman: That’s a lot, thanks, but I won’t bother you, I’ll look up the information myself.]

[Dislikes-Humans: Hey, you just made a fortune from the Elves!]

[Diga Ultraman: Being rich doesn’t mean I spend recklessly. I’m not even sure if you’re worth the price. How about you give me two questions for free, then I’ll test your level.]

[Dislikes-Humans: One, you can ask one for free.]

Amberser thought for a moment and asked, “Do you know about Arthur Laine’s background?”]

[Dislikes-Humans: Haha, you’ve come to the right person. Although it’s commonly believed in the Laine Empire that Arthur Laine comes from a noble family, my research shows that before the foundation of the Laine Empire, there was no such noble line. Their so-called family history can’t be traced before the Empire was established. It’s certain they made it all up, probably to give a golden veneer to their Founding Emperor. I’d bet Arthur Laine was not born a slave but at most was a commoner.]

Amberser was a bit surprised. This Vampire really knew his stuff. He had heard from Arthur Laine himself about the historical fabrications of the Laine Empire, but he didn’t expect Hake Stone to have researched it beforehand.

[Diga Ultraman: You do have real talent. Now, my second question, if Arthur Laine’s teacher was an Orc Paladin, why is there such severe racial discrimination in Laine these days?]

[Dislikes-Humans: First off, I’ll have to charge for this question, and second, who told you Arthur Laine’s teacher was an Orc? Where did you get that exaggerated rumor? That’s too wild, honestly.]

Amberser chuckled and retorted, “If you don’t even know that, never mind then.]

It seemed this Vampire really had done his research, but not enough. He probably didn’t know the answer to this question.

Hake Stone, infuriated by Amberser, furiously typed a row of “XXXXXX”, then demanded, “Where on Earth did you read that wild story?”]

[Diga Ultraman: Arthur Laine told me himself.]

[Dislikes-Humans: XXXXXXXX! Are your bones going to rust if you don’t boast?]

Amberser, resigned, realized Hake Stone really had a deep misunderstanding of him. When had he ever lied in the group chat? He could only explain, “Look at you, always biased against me. Last time I said the Elf Queen paid me to work for her, you didn’t believe it; the time before that I said I’d been to the Laine Imperial Capital and Paladins prostrated themselves to give me money, you didn’t believe that either. And yet all that turned out to be true, right? I’ve never lied to you, why don’t you believe me?”]

[Dislikes-Humans: Can anyone understand what he’s saying?]

[Pale Little Skeleton: Are you dumb? He’s a Lich, jealousy makes you look so ugly.]

[Headless Knight’s Crown: That’s right, the wife is correct!]

Hake Stone felt heavily criticized and couldn’t save face, angrily saying, “Can’t you see what he’s saying? Arthur Laine has been dead for so many years, he’s already ascended to the Divine Realm, and you’re still chatting with him. If this is for real, I’ll twist off my head and fit it onto Gareth.]

Amberser was thinking about whether to have Arthur Laine shoot a video with him and upload it to the group to help Gareth get a new head.

But before he could act, the usually silent senior member ‘Mute’ came online.

[Mute: I can attest that what he is saying is true. This Arthur Laine was dug out from a seal that dates back a thousand and seven hundred years ago, though he’s just a Heroic Spirit.]

An awkward silence ensued.

If it were anyone else, Hake Stone might have retorted, but this senior ‘Mute’ was an acquaintance of the society leader. Having been in the Elegy Poetry Society for so long, Hake Stone had never even met the leader, only becoming aware of the leader’s real existence when he was muted last time.

However, how did Arthur Laine end up as a sealed Heroic Spirit, and what about the Arthur Laine who founded the state? Hake Stone felt like a secret with the potential to turn the entire continent upside down was right in front of him, waiting to be unveiled. Once the truth was found, it was sure to shock everyone.

But at that moment, Gareth twisted the knife: [Do you bring the head to me, or do I come to take it?]

Hake Stone:…

Amberser was known for being a decent person and couldn’t stand by and watch a group member be persecuted: [Gareth, we’re all just joking around. How could we seriously take off a head to give to you, the sizes don’t even match. Let’s stick to the important stuff. The Arthur Laine that Mute and I dug up doesn’t have complete memories. A lot of what he has said doesn’t match Laine history, and I’m trying to figure out when Laine started turning into an extremist racialist? If we could clear this up, maybe we could do something about Laine.]

The words of Amberser gave Hake Stone a sigh of relief. So the Lich was not kicking him while he was down. Could it be a misunderstanding previously? Maybe this Lich wasn’t always targeting him to show off.

[Not Fond of Humans: Bro, what are you planning to do to Laine?]

Heh, now we’re bros.

Amberser replied, [Laine now looks like they’re trying to unite the continent. How can we Undead expect to have good days ahead? I’m thinking maybe we can help them find their ancestor Arthur Laine’s love for all, instead of always making life difficult for us Undead.]

The others in the group found Amberser’s point quite sensible. Though everyone in the group counted as a local power and weren’t the kind of low-level Undead hiding in cellars and eating rats, who wouldn’t be scared of Laine’s group of Paladins?

[Not Fond of Humans: Don’t worry, I’ll help with all I’ve got. I remember someone had done related research, recording the changes in Laine’s racial policies over the years. I’ll go look for it. And bro, about that Heroic Spirit of Arthur Laine, could I have a chat with him if there’s a chance?]

[Diga Ultraman: Of course, bro, one question, two hundred thousand Gold Coins, seeing as we’re good brothers, I’ll give you a 2% discount.]

Hake Stone:…

There was absolutely no misunderstanding, this Lich was targeting him!

Regardless of what Hake Stone thought, Amberser waited for a long time but Witherebro didn’t appear. Regarding the topic of Laine, she would undoubtedly have been involved.

He tried sending her a private message, but still there was no reply.

Something was off. What was she busy with?
