Chapter 4472: Broken Clock (Part 2)

"I was in the middle of a groundbreaking experiment!"

"It’s me, Master Inxi! Zogh-Zogh." Zolgrish replied.

"That explains a lot, but not why you dared disturb my work!" Inxialot snorted, releasing a thick dust cloud from his nostrils that would have put a Dragon to shame.

"I... Why did I call him again, Ratpack?"

"Oh, for the love of..." Lith cursed and proceeded to explain the situation in Jambel and his suspicions about it.

"Nice theory, Larp, but you are way off the mark." Inxialot brushed his worries away with a sweep of his hand. "The Isharas did ask my permission, and I told them to fuck off or face my wrath."

"I’m lost here. Who is this Lamb, and how is he involved in this story?" Zolgrish asked.

"Scourge and Lamb same person." Ratpack said. "He also called Lith Verhen."

"Why did you do that, Inxialot?" Lith ignored the non-Awakened Lich’s rambling and forced the Undead Representative to focus. "We are not friends."

"What a silly question, Bong." Inxialot replied. "Jambel’s territory belongs to Zolgrish, and as his master, everything he has belongs to me! I’d never let those overgrown scorpions steal my silver."

"As long as you only take his share of the metal, I’m okay with it." Lith nodded. "Thanks, Inxialot. Much appreciated. Lith out."

"Stop right there, master!" Zolgrish roared in outrage. "If what is mine is yours and what is yours is yours, what am I supposed to be, your slave? This goes against our apprenticeship agreement!"

"Are you sure? Nero, give me a hand to find the contract." Inxialot said.

"There’s no need for it. I have my copy right here!" Zolgrish snorted. "It says: ten pairs of socks, ten shirts, six pairs of pants..."

"That’s laundry list, Master." Ratpack slapped his forehead. "Contract gone. Mold destroyed it centuries ago."

"Here you go." Nero returned a few seconds later with a pristine parchment covered in protective runes.

"Is this a map? Where am I supposed to go and why?" Inxialot asked in confusion.

"Master!" Zolgrish jumped in fright, already oblivious to the previous conversation. "How did you override the safety measures of my amulet, and how long have you been spying on me?"

"I have no idea." Inxialot replied. "How did I do that, Nero? Most importantly, why am I wasting my time on this moron?"

The Emperor Beast disguised as a house cat rolled his eyes and gave him a recap of the situation.

"I see. Let’s read the contract together." Much to his dismay, there was no clause that allowed him to seize his apprentice’s possessions on a whim.

"See? I was right!" Zolgrish roared in triumph.

"Zolgrish!" Inxialot jumped in fright, having no idea why his apprentice’s hologram was in the middle of his lab. "How did you override the safety measures of my amulet, and how long have you been spying on me?"

"I did no such thing!" Zolgrish snorted in outrage. "I think. Maybe. Ratpack?"

"Look! A Tyris’-shaped stain on wall!" The small undead said.
