Chapter 90: It''s Too Easy!I was wondering what to say to this... I don''t know what to call her. Judging by her outfit, I think I''ll call her a witch.

    "Hey, um... Witch? Can you- Ow!" [Solace]

    A little bolt of lightning shocked my side. Where it came from, I had no clue.

    "Mind your manners, spirit. I have a name." [Witch]

    Her eyes sparkled with a mystical air around them. If not for the fact that I was rubbing my sides, I would''ve put my hands in a surrender position.

    "Okay, how about you tell me your name?" [Solace]

    "My... name?" [Witch]

    The witch blinked a few times and burst out laughing.

    "Oh my, it has completely slipped my mind. My name is Lapasia Fae. I am also known as the great sorcerer of the moving tower. You may call me Lapis." [Witch]

    ("That''s a... very long title.") [Solace]

    Guess I''ll scrap the witch nickname now.

    "So... Miss Lapis-" [Solace]

    "Just call me Lapis." [Lapis]

    "...Lapis. Can I kindly ask you to let me out of this cage?" [Solace]

    Lapis then gave me a smug smile.

    "What will I get in return?" [Lapis]

    ("Damn. She''s one of those people.") [Solace]

    It was that one sentence that made me know that this conversation was about to be very annoying. Sadly, I still had to do it. Which is kind of like homework. ...Or work in general.

    "Well, what benefits do you get from capturing me?" [Solace]

    "I get to turn you in for a reward." [Lapis]

    "Wait, what?" [Solace]

    Lapis nodded.

    "Of course. With a bounty of 2 million mel." [Lapis]

    Reaching into her cleavage, which was pretty hot not gonna lie, Lapis pulled out a rolled up sheet of paper.

    "Let''s see..." [Lapis]

    Unfurling the paper, she showed it to me.

    "...Hold up. I think you''ve got the wrong person." [Solace]

    Right there on the paper, was a picture of Nakros. Which is the person who just left a moment ago, my senior disciple.

    "Is that so?" [Lapis]

    She squinted at me like an old lady.

    "Hm... I could''ve sworn you had the same energy as him..." [Lapis]

    I didn''t know what this "energy" was, but it might be similar to how Jukhan recognized my master.

    "Perhaps you''re a disciple of Vincent?" [Lapis]

    I started sweating bullets.

    "Uh... No...?" [Solace]

    I was pretty much traumatized by the last guy who knew my master, and I wasn''t looking forward to dying anytime soon.

    "That''s unfortunate. I used to be his traveling companion." [Lapis] Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "Oh, in that case-" [Solace]

    "But Vincent was quite the annoyance. I swore that if I ever met his disciples, I''d put them through hell." [Lapis]

    I promptly shut up.

    "Oh, were you saying something?" [Lapis]

    "Nope!" [Solace]

    I hoped that Master didn''t have mind reading because I was most definitely cursing him at the moment.

    _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

    "Achoo!" [Vincent]

    Rubbing his nose, Vincent let out a little sniffle.

    ("Is someone talking about me?") [Vincent]

    _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

    "Well now that you know that I''m not your target, can you let me out now?" [Solace]

    Lapis smiled.

    "Can''t do~." [Lapis]

    "What? Why?" [Solace]

    "You''re going to be my research subject." [Lapis]

    ("...Bruh.") [Solace]

    I couldn''t believe I had to deal with a mad scientist now.

    "What would you even research? I''m just... me." [Solace]

    "That''s the thing. A spirit who can move freely without a contractor is unheard of." [Lapis]

    That gave me an idea.

    "How about I show you something else that is unheard of?" [Solace]

    "Oh? And that is?" [Lapis]

    "Let me out of this cage and find out." [Solace]

    I didn''t think this would work, but it was worth a shot.

    "Sure~." [Lapis]

    And with that, she opened that cage.

    ("...I wish life wasn''t like this.") [Solace]
