Chapter 145 Negotiation and Temptation



What is prey?

It is a creature bleeding in the water, attracting sharks from miles away, that is prey.

Whether they are big Lords or small Lords, there is no shortage of greedy people.

Just by spreading this message, they will cast their malicious eyes on Count Strahad.

What will be the outcome for a fallen noble with immense wealth but little power?

A sheep falling into a tiger's den, what fate awaits it?

It will be devoured completely!

Lady Jandis's eyes flickered with a hint of brilliance. After a round of confrontation, the opponent's calmness was indeed astonishing, as if encountering a ghost.

Men used to stare at her with admiration, coupled with her status as a mage and the Duchess, she was always treated as an honored guest wherever she went.

However, she simply enjoyed reading and conducting research, showing little interest in other matters.

Her husband Alex often sought her opinion and consulted her on important matters, which was why she was present here.

Two bets placed, never at a loss!

"Your Highness, I am concerned about the decline of the Barov Family. I seek an escape route and protection. I possess magical knowledge and can train magic users for Your Highness. Illusia is my treasure, she can serve as your maid. I only ask for your protection over her and if possible, to help the Barov Family when needed." Lady Jandis lowered her stance and expressed perplexing words.

"The inheritance of magic dates back to ancient times when the laws were bestowed by the Titan Aggramar, leading to the formation of the world's magic, with the Dragon Aspect being the Blue Dragonflight's ruler. When mortal races reached their peak, it was during the Night Elf era. At that time, Night Elves were divided into commoners and nobles, with the nobles known as the Highborne, possessing the oldest and most primal arcane secrets, mastering the true essence of magic. Now, the magic of high elves may seem impressive, but it is just a small fraction, the true core lies in the hands of the Highborne." Arthas spoke eloquently, capturing the attention of the two women before revealing the secrets they desired and yearned for.

"In Kalimdor, there are surviving Highborne who happen to have access to the Elven Library. These archives contain secrets of magic and magical experimentation. Any mage who obtains them would greatly benefit." Arthas's lips curled into a playful smile, hearing Lady Jandis's rapid breaths.

"I will find them and bring them under my rule, making their library mine. I can solve the problems troubling them, problems only I can resolve."

"Your Highness is truly knowledgeable. Perhaps even surpassing the Archmages of Dalaran." Lady Jandis had a strong interest in magical experiments and research, often immersed in her laboratory.

This led her husband Alex to seek extramarital affairs and indulge in the debauchery of noble banquets, all because his wife was too engrossed in her experiments to be intimate.

"Not quite." Arthas raised his index finger, shaking it gently. "Everyone has their specialties, and surely they excel in magic more than I do. I cannot guarantee the fate of the Barov Family, nor do I know what you have done. However, if possible, I will spare the lives of you and your daughter. As for your two sons, well, if they can handle themselves, they will be fine. Don't worry too much, focus on teaching my magic apprentices here diligently. Work hard, and you will attain what you desire."

"Your Highness, can you help women stay young?" Lady Jandis suddenly asked a question that women often ponder about, eternal youth!

"For the time being, it's not possible, but it can be in the future. My power is not that strong yet. What's wrong, Lady? Standing next to Illusia, you two look like sisters, and I can't tell the age difference at all. If I didn't know you were Lady Jandis, I would have thought you were Illusia's elder sister," Arthas smiled. Indeed, women are creatures who love beauty.

"Can Your Highness give me a chance?" Lady Jandis's voice trembled. "Can Your Highness prolong my life?"

For a mage, the greatest sorrow is the lack of lifespan.

Human magical talent is much better than that of high elves, but the disadvantage is also obvious - the lifespan is too short. A mere hundred years is just a nap time for others. After eating, bathing, and making love, how much energy is left for studying magic?

So the temptation of prolonging life is irresistible to any race.

Why does the Cult of the Damned have such a market?

Isn't it because of the promise of immortality? Even becoming undead is just another form of existence, that is, immortality!

”It's not a problem. Living two or three hundred years is not an issue. By then, you can enhance your strength, break through to demigod status. It's not about eternal youth, but living for thousands or even tens of thousands of years is possible. However, this is not something an ordinary person can achieve. If it's too difficult, I can offer some extra help, but the price is not something an ordinary person can accept.“ Arthas took out a piece of emerald Life Essence. When the Essence appeared, Lady Jandis's breathing noticeably quickened. She could feel a surge of life force that seemed to enhance her strength and restore her youth!

Despite not knowing what it was, her soul's intuition told her that she wanted this thing. This was what she desired!

There is nothing more tempting for a woman obsessed with experiments than enhancing her strength and extending her lifespan. Wealth and status no longer hold any appeal for a Duchess.

Being sexually indifferent, Lady Jandis's ability to let her husband seek extramarital affairs indicated her lack of interest in intimacy, making her particularly difficult to deal with.

However, once she obtained what she needed, she would be tempted by a kind of devilish whispers, making it challenging to resist such intense desires.

”Illusia, you will be my handmaiden from now on. Besides serving me, you can do anything you want. Sing, dance, paint, listen to stories, even embark on adventures. I can see that you are not very keen on learning magic. Now, please go find my elder sister Calia. I will come to you later.“ Arthas smiled at Illusia, who had always remained calm.
