Chapter 1515 Seeds of Knowledge Part 1
"Not really. Think about Wyverns. They are lesser Dragons and can use them as well." Aalejah replied.
"Point taken." Lith's upper lip curled in disgust just at the thought of being even remotely similar to Xedros or Qisal.
"No need to be disappointed. As I said, the single parts are lesser species, but the Tiamat might hold the same potential as your ancestors. The bad news is that you probably don't share most of the abilities of the species that comprise your life force.
"The good news is that they will all be unique to the Demon race and that the other species won't be able to replicate them." The elf said.
"I'll consider it a good news once I discover them." Lith grunted, feeling more tired by the second.
Too tired to continue practicing or even to assimilate the knowledge stored inside the Eyes of Menadion.
"Wait a second." He stopped the elf before she could remove the shielding cloth from the Yggdrasill staff. "Do you still feel guilty about endangering my life and embarrassed about your earlier outburst?"
"Yes." She blushed violently, not knowing which event she regretted the most.
"Then do me one last favor and we'll call it even." Lith said with a soft smile that creepily reminded the elf of the World Tree.
"Depends on the favor." She replied.
"It's nothing much. I just want you to identify a few things for me and your assurance that you won't talk about this with anyone." Lith tried to ease her worries.
"Is this about Forbidden Magic or stolen goods?" Aalejah was naïve, but not stupid.
Even though it was her first time outside the Fringe, she doubted that a favor could be that simple. Soul Vision showed her a predatory grin on Lith's face that didn't bode well.
"No. You have my word." Both his faces nodded, reassuring the elf to some extent. "My problem is that I acquired them in a peculiar way and a late friend of mine warned me never to show them to others."
"Then why do you want to show them to me?" She asked without never turning Soul Vision off despite the burden it took on her mana and focus.
"Because I can't find them in any book in any library that I had access to until now." Lith said with a sigh, hating to admit how desperate he was for help. "Not even the books in my master's home mention them so they must be very rare items."
"That or she keeps some of her tomes out of the reach of her apprentices." Aalejah said.
"I don't see why Faluel should consider herbariums part of her bloodline legacy, but I guess anything is possible." Lith shrugged. "I told you everything you needed to know, just tell me if you are going to help me or not."
"Sure." She replied while sighing in relief. There was no harm in identifying a few plants.
Or so Aalejah thought until Lith took all the herbs he had left from the Dryad's reward out of his pocket dimension.
