Chapter 3350 A King's Funeral (Part 1)

'I could tell you Lith Awakened very young and that compared to him you had much less time to practice but that's not the issue.' Faluel replied and Tista nodded. 'He had to work everything out by himself whereas you had skilled teachers every step of your way.

'You could have caught up to your brother by now if you had his same drive!

'What do you mean?"

"That after healing from the Strangler you had a peaceful life. You joined the academy because it was your dream and became an Awakened without any effort on your part. 1 took you in as my apprentice only because Lith brought you along, not because you deserved it.' Faluel said.

'Was I that lacking? Tista lowered her eyes in embarrassment.

'No, you were a great mage but that's beyond the point. The Hydra replied. 'Lith joined the academy because no one could teach him high tier magic. He relentlessly improved his skills for Solus' sake first and then also to fix his life force.

'When he studied, you played. When you studied, he risked his life on the battlefield. As I said, you lack his drive. Even now, you are studying without a real goal. You do what you like, not what you have to.

'What about you?'Tista asked.

'I come from a good family but I had to work hard to earn everything I have. My position as the beast Ruler of the Distar region, my Awakening, and my treasures are all things I achieved without relying on others.

'Right now, my goal is to perfect Glemos' Harmonizers and help my people to break past the limits of Lesser Dragons. On top of that, I also have to keep my word and find a way for the people of Zelex to undo their fallen state.'

'I definitely lack drive. Tista sighed. 'Sorry for wasting your time with my whining!

'Don't be silly. You didn't whine, you looked at yourself in search of your flaws and you found them. Bonus points for recognizing your problems instead of making excuses for them.'

"Thank you, Master Falucl.'

'You are welcome. The Hydra gave her a polite nod of the head.

'By the way, how is the Harmonizer project going?"Tista asked.

'Not well.'Faluel shrugged. 'There's a reason the Tyrant bloodline worked for millennia on the Harmonizers yet failed to achieve any permanent result.

'Even after Thrud's Generals agreed to help us Hydras in our research, we have yet to isolate the key factors in the different bloodlines of Lesser Divine Beasts that the Ambrosia triggered.

'Until we succeed, even with perfect Harmonizer taking the next evolutionary step is but a pipe dream. Baba Yaga offered her help as well, but only if the Hydras invest part of their resources in the development of Harmonizers for her undead.

'Useless to say, my people are not inclined to agree and are still arguing about it.'

'Well, Ripha is a good friend of Baba Yaga and the Royals just announced her return, I'm sure the Hydras would love to work with the First Ruler of the Flames. On top of that, Ripha can vouch for Baba Yaga, breaking the impasse. Tista said.

'Having one of the greatest Healers of all times work side by side with one of the greatest Forgemasters would surely help our research, but there's one problem, or rather, two problems with that.' Faluel replied.

'Problem one: Ripha might not be interested in charity work.'Tista said. 'Problem two: Lith is not interested in charity work.

'Exactly. Faluel sighed. 'Even if Master Menadion agrees to help us, she can't go anywhere unless Lith comes along. Still, it's a good idea. I'll talk with Master Menadion

first. If I can't convince her, then there's nothing I can do.'
