Chapter 3237 Breaking the Cycle (Part 4)

"What are you guys doing here?" Lith said after identifying them as Phoenixes. "Grandma prohibited you from intervening."

"No. She simply didn't mobilize us." Said a male Phoenix with dark hair and eyes who introduced himself as Urxat. "Grandmother gave us permission to answer your call individually, but only as long as we could find a proper substitute to cover for our territories during our absence. _{freёwebnovel.com}

"We old coots have a child of two who can take our place for a few days so it's not a big deal." He shrugged.

"I'm grateful for your assistance but I'm pretty sure I've never met any of you." Lith looked at the nearby crowd, receiving many greetings yet recognizing no one. "Who are you guys?"

"Seriously?" Urxat clenched his chest as if Lith had stabbed him, quickly followed by the others. "We are your relatives from your father's side. Did you really expect us Dark Phoenixes to sit out of this and let those scummy Fire Dragons hog all the glory?"

"Of course not." Lith lied, having no idea how much of their enthusiasm came from the bloodline they shared and how much from the ancient rivalry between Dragons and Phoenixes.

Either way, he didn't want to spoil the mood.

"Since you are already here, do you mind showing me the Ears? It's not the main reason we decided to give you a hand but I would lie if I said it's not a factor." Urxat said and most of those present shamelessly nodded.

"Sure. I left it to Grandmother for safekeeping. You can ask her." Lith replied, making all those with Phoenix blood cheer.

Calling the Overlord just like they did and entrusting the artifact to her was a huge plus in their book. Among the Dragons, only the children of Surtr and Rethia didn't grunt in annoyance at the news since they were direct descendants of both Guardians as well.

"Thank you for coming, Gentor." Lith shook his hand and tried to give him a bow but the Father of All Golden Dragona stopped him.

"Nonsense. We are brothers. I have many wives of different races and I wouldn't stand any of them being kidnapped either."

This was the first time Lith didn't feel the need to clear the misunderstanding and fanned the flames instead.

"If it ever comes the day I can return you the favor, all you need to do is ask." The two clasped wrists and then Lith left.

There were too many people to greet them all. He introduced himself to their representatives and let them introduce him to the rest of the group.

"Guys, this is your Uncle Lith." Surtr said to his children when it was his turn. "Solus is for him what your Aunt Sinmara is for me. Since you know neither of them, feel free to leave and go back home.

"The task at hand is dangerous and the reward is insignificant compared to your lives."

"No way in the nine hells, Dad." Said a male Griffon with silvery wings.

"No one is allowed to hurt you, old Wyrm." A female Dragon snorted.

"I'm serious!" Surtr said. "Lith is an ass and the stingiest man alive. If you expect him to reward you with magic lessons or by Forgemastering something for free, you are deluding yourself."
