Indeed, it’s a good name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the others couldn’t help but express their admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, have I completed your employment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amos suddenly spoke up, asking quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as those words were spoken, all surrounding sounds vanished, and it suddenly became somewhat silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land’s expression immediately darkened, his gaze flickering as he looked at Amos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others around also grew tense upon witnessing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that the Evil Dragon intends to renege on the deal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the development of the [Dragon Flame Jade] this time was solely Amos’ achievement, they, too, as Casters, had accepted the task together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Amos couldn’t receive his reward, wouldn’t that prove they were a bunch of fools to trust the Giant Dragon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Months of effort would be in vain! Meaningless toil!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is entirely different from being outdone by Amos and not receiving payment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However... Amos, you have such talent, yet you’re not being utilized in the Human world. Why not stay and work for me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only I can truly showcase your talents! Your research can become world-renowned! Show it to everyone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How about it? Do you want to be such a person? Be mine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Land finished speaking, his burning red eyes became even more intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pay will only increase based on your future performance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"10 Gold Talers a month? That’s 120 Gold Talers a year! This... this is truly incredible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amos! He’s finally going to make a name for himself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He deserves it, given his abilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Casters, showing slight envy, spoke one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gold Talers a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a 14th-level Caster wouldn’t necessarily receive such benefits!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Certainly, no problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land merely nodded, scanning the others to indicate for them to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one Caster couldn’t help but say:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the Casters who were previously deceived were shocked to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One even rushed forward, grabbed this Caster, and dragged him away, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Caster was still confused and tried to struggle to say something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a few other Casters came over, holding his hands and feet and covering his mouth as they dragged him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the new Casters realized things weren’t as simple as they thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not daring to speak further, they hurriedly followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone around obediently backed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the Xiao Female Dragon still clung to his hind leg, shouting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Land! Land! Don’t ignore me! Teach me! Teach me that spell, please!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amos handed a notebook he had with him to the Xiao Female Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xiao Female Dragon was so delighted that tears of joy almost formed as she smiled brightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, human! I misunderstood you earlier! You’re a good guy! In the future, here, I’ll have your back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone dares to bully you, I, Fiona, will not let them off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Fiona, be careful when using the notebook; make sure not to damage it.\" Amos reminded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh! Don’t worry! Don’t worry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xiao Female Dragon squatted halfway into the ground, eagerly flipping through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because of this he always lost to Fiona!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were like Land, no! Just like Fiona, couldn’t he easily mess with that fool Fiona?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This isn’t fair!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land also chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh heh~ Rest assured, Land! Once I learn this [Dragon Flame Jade], I will undoubtedly be of assistance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xiao Female Dragon immediately replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Land! Land! And me! Let Amos develop a powerful spell for me too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Black Dragon Ed couldn’t hold back, clinging to Land’s leg, pleading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land only glanced at him before flicking him away, growling:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fool! Amos’ time is precious! He won’t waste it on play-tricks for you! Go! Play with those Shamans!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Black Dragon Ed pouted, feeling extremely wronged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why! Why can’t he breathe fire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land then sent the two dragon cubs away before speaking to Amos:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that everyone’s gone, you can speak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would you be interested in hearing my story, Lord Land?\" Amos said, surprisingly sitting down on the ground, looking absent-mindedly into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land’s mouth twitched, feeling a sense of foreboding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s not going to tell a sob story, is he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s not interested in those kinds of stories, but since Amos was the genius Land valued highly, he considered him very valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he said: \"For a typical person, they’re like insects to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Land also squatted down on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>",1099,"2026-06-06T02:00:51.835Z",1,"novelbin.me","40d0599ae8e4a3b96c1c3b11a7a48b593661303a326b320c8653d8c862e4d2d9","dragon-of-catastrophe-chapter-80","dragon-of-catastrophe-chapter-78",673,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdragon-of-catastrophe-cover.jpg"]
