His heartfelt words made Solus so happy that she didn’t mind skipping the meal due to the inability to assume her human form. The light wisp snuggled against his head like a small bird.
"As for my hybrid form, it messes with my love life and makes me a monster, but at least it comes with some perks. Right, Phloria?" Lith looked her in the eyes, making most of her envy and that of their sisters melt like snow under the summer sun.
During happy circumstances, it was easy to forget that such blessings were actually a double-edged sword. Over the past few months, Phloria had come to terms with Solus’s existence and didn’t resent Lith anymore for keeping his other half a secret.
Yet she still lacked the courage to ask some important questions like what part Solus had played in their past relationship and how much of it she had shared. The uncertainty still made it awkward for Phloria to remain alone with Lith.
’There is no way to ask them if we ever had some kind of threesome. Just thinking about how they shared their mind and Lith’s body is embarrassing enough, let alone asking details of their arrangements about intimacy.’ She thought.
Later, while the others rested inside the tower, Lith went to Faluel’s lair to ask her opinion about his work and understand how safe his secrets were.
"By the Great Mother, it must be nice having free access to Origin Flames. Can you do the same thing for me?" Faluel didn’t know about the tower, but she could recognize perfectly purified Adamant when she saw it.
The black and white shades of the metal that made it similar to Davross were hard to miss.
"Yes and no. Yes, I can but no, I can’t assure you the same quality in the final product." Lith then explained to her the peculiar Forge he had employed and his current limits.
"Goddam Liches." The Hydra had yet to meet Zolgrish, yet she couldn’t stand him already. "They already have the best stuff and usually it’s because they have more meat on their bones than morals in their head."
"That said, don’t worry about it. My forges don’t shapeshift, but I know how to handle Adamant. We’ll just have to alternate melting and purifying to keep the metal’s composition balanced."
"What do you think of my Scalewalker armor and how is the cloaking of my workings?" Lith asked.
"I think that technically, producing such a powerful piece with a blue core is impossible. The crafting is a bit rough and the enchantments could have been balanced better, but it’s still an impressive work for someone without a legacy.
"As for the cloaking, you gave the standard runes a good spin of your own. If you weren’t my apprentice and I had no idea of how you work, I would’ve had a hard time studying your armor.
"I like how you used my scales to enhance the armor’s ability to deflect impacts rather than just hardening it. Professor Wanemyre is right, you’re truly talented for Forgemastery." Faluel said after thoroughly studying the armor.
"Thanks. Did we make the right choice in crafting an armor rather than a weapon?" Lith asked.
No matter if the experiment succeeded or failed, understanding the limits that he and Solus had while in the tower came first. It would influence the way they developed their Forgemastering techniques and determine the heights they could reach. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
