Chapter 2972 Rescue Mission (Part 2)

"You are welcome Nalrond. Thanks for the lesson, Orion." Lith said, a bit surprised that a proud artisan would share information with a rival.

"Don't mention it." Orion said.

'The stronger Lith gets, the higher our chances of survival against the Myrok.' He actually thought. 'I would have never taught him anything if he was alone. But with his share of Thrud's spoils and his Demons, one piece of information can change the course of a war, when it applies to an entire army.'

Werean region, Medaka Plains, the following day.

After a quick trip to the Desert for a few tweaks on the Voidwalker armor and a good night's rest to reset Invigoration's effects, Lith woke up to a call informing him that the final details of the investigation had been settled.

For some reason, the Captain of the Hand of Fate, the Council's enforcers, had refused to give Lith the coordinates of Pharek's home and demanded to meet in an open space.

'This is weird. My paranoia sense is tingling.' Lith said while looking around the empty area chosen as the point of contact.

The scarce vegetation of the area had been trampled and uprooted during the War of the Griffons. It gave a clear line of sight for kilometers but also no place where to hide or take cover in case of ambush.

'Agreed. This is the perfect spot for a trap.' Solus used the Eyes to scan the area for dormant arrays or surveillance spells.

Only once she found nothing could she relax a bit and tune down to the less draining mana sense. The Eyes came from the tower and the tower shared its power source with Solus so the use of the artifact without a geyser still took a toll on her mana reserves. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

'By the way, I was thinking. Pharek of Derios? Isn't it odd that one of Mom's closest apprentices is from our region?' She asked.

'Not really.' Lith replied. 'Orion told us that the first records about Menadion's life mention that she lived in the Distar region when Derios was still a small village.'

'So what?' Solus asked.

'If your mother really was born in the Marquisate, it's normal that she befriended people close to where she lived. Also, if Derios underwent the same explosive growth as Lutia, it wouldn't surprise me if our village was also built because of her.' Lith replied.

'Do you think that my mother founded Lutia?' The idea shocked Solus.

'No. More like that she lived nearby for the mana geyser where I found you and that the area started developing due to her presence.' Lith shrugged.

'It makes sense.' Solus pondered. 'Probably back then people didn't even know who she was and the presence of a mage gave them safety. Then, after we… she died people moved out.'

'Just like it happened to Lutia after I was exiled.' Lith used his Tiamat keen sight to scout in three directions at the same time, but there was nothing to see.

'Someone's coming!' Solus focused mana sense on the dimensional rift taking form a few meters from them and conjured the Fury in her hand.

"Hi, little brother. Hi, Solus." Zoreth walked out of the Chaos Steps first.
