“Sensitive, as requested,” Aurelianus said. He grabbed a long needle and stabbed the simulacrum’s hand. The simulacrum frowned at the embedded needle but didn’t respond otherwise. “And higher pain tolerance.”

“Only the rarest, most precious ingredients were used. I’m all out of virgin blood now.”
Lord Amherst smiled. “Exquisite. Of course, the last wizard who disappointed me ended up a pile of ashes.”
