Chapter 1959 - Blight Flames (Part 1)

'Damn. Is there really so much difference between the violet and the bright violet core?' Lith wondered as he used Life Vision, Death Vision, and shared Solus' mana vision.

The Firbolg's physical prowess was inferior to a Divine Beast's but it was nothing to scoff at. He witnessed her die in several different ways, but every one of them required her body to be reduced to shreds.

Even from that distance, Lith could see with the mana sense the Fae's body crackling with the hidden energy of the spells that she kept at the ready.

Also, judging from the full set of equipment she wore, Senara had come ready to battle in the case the negotiations failed.

The Firbolg didn't show any sign of hostility and released two seemingly harmless spells.

The first was an array detection spell while the other was a life detecting array. There was nothing odd in her actions, Senara might just be checking that her guests hadn't set up an ambush or a trap.

'In her shoes, I'd do the same. Life Vision has a limited range whereas a life sensing array can cover up to a kilometer. The question is if she used it to check for hidden reinforcements on our side or to make sure that there are no witnesses.

'As for the array detecting spell, I bet that if she found any, a well-placed Disarray spell would have turned our protections into the opening salvo of the conflict.' Lith thought and he was right.

Senara was truly disappointed to miss the opportunity to blow them up with minimal effort. She had conjured opened the Warp Steps away from the hill exactly to avoid being caught in the conflagration.

"Welcome to Verendi. I'm Senara the Firbolg, plant representative of the Council. My disciple, Tryssa, should have told you about me." She gave them a small but polite and graceful bow that they returned.

"Have you brought the Mouth of Menadion?" Solus asked.

"No, I came here to find a peaceful solution." She shook her head.

"There's nothing to talk about. Give me my mother's legacy back or we'll leave."

"Lady Menadion, I think you are rushing things a bit." Senara raised her hands in a peace gesture. "There's no reason to be enemies. You could just come to live here among us.

"We would gladly return the Mouth to you and you would not be involved in the pointless war that's ravaging Garlen. All of you are welcome to stay." She then turned toward the rest of the group.

"We heard a lot about Garlen's Tiamat and we are willing to offer you a seat in the Council. As for your Eldritches, your past crimes can be forgiven if you help us develop our continent and let us study your unique condition.

"You have already joined Garlen's Council and I can promise you that Verendi's will not treat you any worse."

"I'll tell you what I said Raagu when she made me the same offer. I'm not interested." Lith replied.

"I don't want to be part of your Council and I don't trust a bunch of thieves to keep their word. I bet that the moment I follow you, you would extort me of my mother's secrets and add the Fury to your collection." Solus showed Senara the reborn hammer and the Firbolg's eyes shone with unbridled greed.
