Chapter 2025 Domestic Affairs (Part 1)

"Follow me. I want to introduce you to the rest of my team. We are split into groups of seven because we are going to employ a tactic similar to the one that was used against you in Verendi." Faluel said.

"Wait! Don't you know how to haggle?" Crank jumped off the wooden bench, trotting to catch up with them. "What about holograms? You teach me the basics and I'll learn the rest on my own."

"That's better, but it's still too much." The Hydra said. "I have no idea of what you can do or how useful you might be in real combat. We'll resume this conversation after the battle, but only if you've done something worthwhile for me."

"This is not haggling! This is straight blackmail. You are coercing me to follow you around the battlefield and cover your back." The Hyperion was flabbergasted.

"Correction. Our backs." Faluel pointed at herself and Lith. "He's the only one who can teach you and I'm the only one who can give him the permission to. He's my apprentice and has to do as I say."

Actually, Faluel was restricted by his promise to Nalrond from teaching anyone Light Mastery, including holograms. Lith, however, had mastered them on his own and was free to share his knowledge with whomever he wanted.

Also, Lith had already graduated from his apprenticeship, but Crank had no way to know it. Based on the Council's standard procedure, he had at least 80 more years of servitude ahead of him.

"Fine." The Hyperion jumped on the nearest chair and resume his binge eating, this time out of stress.

'Nice move.' Lith said Faluel via a mind link. The physical contact between them allowed him to establish a telepathic connection that Life Vision couldn't notice.

'Thanks, but it's no big deal.' She replied. 'People from Verendi love to haggle to the point that it's considered rude not to. I knew that he didn't expect me to actually agree with those ridiculous terms.

'I feigned ignorance of his customs and walked away to force him to make me an acceptable deal, saving us a lot of time.'

Lith inwardly nodded and followed her. He had no idea why Faluel wanted him to meet her companions but he trusted her judgment and knew that the Hydra had to have a good reason for it.

"Guys, this is Lith the Tiamat. Lith, these are Cenn the Oberon, Lix the Firebird, Loman Weiss, Khrill Arat, Hala the Treant, and Esgor the Behemoth. Lith is going to fight with us but he belongs to no unit.

"Which means that if something happens to any of us or we need to Invigorate ourselves, he can fill in one of the spots of our formation." Cenn nodded, moving his wheat blonde hair enough to reveal his slightly pointed ears. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

"Excellent thinking, Faluel. Do you already know how to cast Silverwing's Annihilation and Bastion, kid?"

"Of course he does." The Hydra replied for Lith. "I taught him as soon as he returned from his honeymoon, after I learned that the Kingdom and the Council would fight together.

"The problem is that he has never actually used either spell or has any experience with how to coordinate with others while casting them. I brought him here so that we can all give him tips and a practical demonstration."
