"[Dragon Flame Jade]? Indeed, it's a good name."

Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but express their admiration.

"So, have I completed your employment?"

Amos suddenly spoke up, asking quietly.

"!"

As soon as those words were spoken, all surrounding sounds vanished, and it suddenly became somewhat silent.

Land's expression immediately darkened, his gaze flickering as he looked at Amos.

The others around also grew tense upon witnessing this.

Could it be that the Evil Dragon intends to renege on the deal?

Although the development of the [Dragon Flame Jade] this time was solely Amos' achievement, they, too, as Casters, had accepted the task together.

If Amos couldn't receive his reward, wouldn't that prove they were a bunch of fools to trust the Giant Dragon?

Months of effort would be in vain! Meaningless toil!

This is entirely different from being outdone by Amos and not receiving payment!

"Heh heh heh~ Of course! You've completed your task exceptionally well, and I am willing to give you 200 Gold Talers as a reward.

However... Amos, you have such talent, yet you're not being utilized in the Human world. Why not stay and work for me?

Only I can truly showcase your talents! Your research can become world-renowned! Show it to everyone!

Let them know that even those with depleted Magic Power, if truly geniuses, can shine with their own brilliance! Not lesser than the so-called Legend!

How about it? Do you want to be such a person? Be mine?"

After Land finished speaking, his burning red eyes became even more intense.

"Naturally, I won't let you work for nothing! To welcome such a genius as you, I am willing to hire you as my exclusive Mage Consultant at a monthly salary of 10 Gold Talers.

This pay will only increase based on your future performance!"

"10 Gold Talers a month? That's 120 Gold Talers a year! This... this is truly incredible!"

"Amos! He's finally going to make a name for himself!"

"He deserves it, given his abilities."

The other Casters, showing slight envy, spoke one after another.

120 Gold Talers a year.

Even a 14th-level Caster wouldn't necessarily receive such benefits!

But Amos remained unmoved: "Let's not rush into discussing Talers. Could Land please have everyone else leave? There are things I'd like to discuss with you alone."

"Oh? Certainly, no problem."

Land merely nodded, scanning the others to indicate for them to leave.

But one Caster couldn't help but say:

"Lord Land, I am truly ashamed that I couldn't contribute to this research. However, since the task you issued is now complete, we should probably take our leave."

Upon hearing this, the Casters who were previously deceived were shocked to the core.

One even rushed forward, grabbed this Caster, and dragged him away, saying:

"Lord Land! I think this Caster friend must be too exhausted from his night-and-day Magic studies, speaking nonsense, please don't be angry! I'll take him away immediately! Please don't be angry!"

This Caster was still confused and tried to struggle to say something.

But a few other Casters came over, holding his hands and feet and covering his mouth as they dragged him away.

Seeing this, the new Casters realized things weren't as simple as they thought.

Not daring to speak further, they hurriedly followed suit.

Everyone around obediently backed away.

Only the Xiao Female Dragon still clung to his hind leg, shouting:

"Land! Land! Don't ignore me! Teach me! Teach me that spell, please!"

"Lady Fiona, here are my notes on the [Dragon Flame Jade] spell, you can take them to study. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask those Half-Beastman Shamans."

Amos handed a notebook he had with him to the Xiao Female Dragon.

After months of effort to complete the spell the employer needed, Amos was in a good mood and handed the notebook over to the Xiao Female Dragon.

The Xiao Female Dragon was so delighted that tears of joy almost formed as she smiled brightly:

"You, human! I misunderstood you earlier! You're a good guy! In the future, here, I'll have your back!

If anyone dares to bully you, I, Fiona, will not let them off!"

"Lady Fiona, be careful when using the notebook; make sure not to damage it." Amos reminded her.

"Heh heh! Don't worry! Don't worry!"

The Xiao Female Dragon squatted halfway into the ground, eagerly flipping through it.

The Little Black Dragon was so envious that his eyes turned red, shouting in his heart, hating his mother for making him a dragon with such a rich Black Dragon lineage.

It was because of this he always lost to Fiona!

If he were like Land, no! Just like Fiona, couldn't he easily mess with that fool Fiona?

Even though he was now diligently learning Magic, if Fiona mastered this [Dragon Flame Jade], he feared that he would never see the light of day!

This isn't fair!

"Fiona! If you want to learn [Dragon Flame Jade], then go ahead, strive to become a useful dragon, not the useless one who only eats, like now."

Land also chimed in.

"Heh heh heh~ Rest assured, Land! Once I learn this [Dragon Flame Jade], I will undoubtedly be of assistance!"

The Xiao Female Dragon immediately replied.

But in her heart, she thought that once she mastered it, maybe, when she matures into a young or adolescent dragon, she'll be able to leave Land and live freely!

"Land! Land! And me! Let Amos develop a powerful spell for me too!"

Little Black Dragon Ed couldn't hold back, clinging to Land's leg, pleading.

Land only glanced at him before flicking him away, growling:

"Fool! Amos' time is precious! He won't waste it on play-tricks for you! Go! Play with those Shamans!"

Little Black Dragon Ed pouted, feeling extremely wronged.

Why! Why can't he breathe fire!

Land then sent the two dragon cubs away before speaking to Amos:

"Now that everyone's gone, you can speak."

"Would you be interested in hearing my story, Lord Land?" Amos said, surprisingly sitting down on the ground, looking absent-mindedly into the distance.

Land's mouth twitched, feeling a sense of foreboding.

He's not going to tell a sob story, is he?

He's not interested in those kinds of stories, but since Amos was the genius Land valued highly, he considered him very valuable.

So he said: "For a typical person, they're like insects to me.

I'm not interested in them at all, but you, Amos, you're different. I can make an exception for you, and listen to your story."

After speaking, Land also squatted down on the ground.
