2901 Collapsing Eternity (Part 3)

"I need to get rid of Thaymos now to protect you guys." Tyris shook her head. "If I just seal him somewhere, sooner or later the Council of Jiera is going to decipher his language. I don't think you want him going around babbling about the Destroyer and his cursed object."

At those words, Solus' anger at Tyris disappeared and was replaced by gratitude.

"By my Mom, I had almost forgotten about that. Lost cities don't have much credibility but if someone believed him, we would have gotten in trouble."

"Indeed." The Great Mother nodded.

Saying that Lith was bonded to a cursed object was easy to refute since he could foil any investigation simply by taking off the stone ring. The problem was that Thaymos wouldn't make a generic allegation but point at Solus.

The moment someone examined her from up close with a breathing technique and discovered that her energy signature was the same as Lith's, Thaymos' words would be confirmed.

"Also, this isn't my turf." Tyris added. "Fenagar would notice me if I followed you as you moved the camp to a new site. If I waited for you guys to go back to Garlen, instead, I would have to bring Thaymos with me.

"The other Guardians would then ask themselves why I'm endangering Elysia first and my Kingdom later, wasting my focus instead of just dropping Thaymos here and making him Jiera's problem.

"This is the best moment to get rid of the lost city without anyone suspecting that I needed your tower, Lith. Remember that the Guardians know you possess Menadion's legacy but they are completely unaware of what it can do.

"Thanks to these blueprints, I can claim that during the fight I recognized Thaymos and had a way to destroy him. I just needed to restrain him to keep you safe while I searched for the self-destruct spell among the ancient books I keep in my pocket dimension.

"It will explain my current absence and why I was so confident I could destroy him."

Even through the haze of pain and confusion, Lith knew that the Guardian was right.

'Even Grandma had no idea of the properties of the various floors of the tower and we spent months on her turf. By protecting my secret, Tyris is making sure that Jiera's Guardians won't bother me during my stay.'

"Maybe it's the headache talking, but I can't make heads or tails of this stuff." Lith only needed a single glance at Thaymos' blueprints to suffer from blinding pain. "Do you need Grandma or Leegaain's help to crack them?"

"I would, if this was a modern and revolutionary Forgemastering technique." Tyris skimmed through the pages, highlighting with a holographic marker the parts she needed. "This stuff is so outdated that it's embarrassing to look at.

"Don't get me wrong, without the schematics, not even Leegaain's Eyes would find a way to safely destroy a monstrosity like this. All the souls and the mana cores Thaymos absorbed during the centuries have formed hundreds of layers that shield the pseudo core's runes from being studied even by Soul Vision.

"With the schematics, however, finding the weak points of the lost city is child's play for an ancient creature like me who can read the ancient runes and is familiar with this kind of enchantment."

She double-checked her findings and once she made sure to not have missed anything, Tyris handed the Eyes back to Solus with a deep bow of gratitude.

"I'll send you back first to give you guys plausible deniability. Can you stand?"
