Chapter 3584 Broken Hopes (Part 1)

"I wish I was that good." The black-robed Awakened sighed. "I had to relinquish my plant nature at sixteen and I would have never gotten the violet without the help of my bloodline legacy."

"Insider myself lucky because it's thanks to Verhen's fame that I learned of Master Faluel's existence. It's only thanks to her kindness that she accepted me as her disciple and introduced me to Verhen.

"Without their guidance, I'd still be a hybrid." Nalrond said. _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

"Being born at the right time is indeed luck." The Awakened shook his massive mane in regret. "I'm probably older than Verhen's great-grandfather and back in my day fusing your life forces wasnsidered wishful thinking at best."

"Indeed." Ajatar cut the reminiscences off and put the discussion back on track. "You are old and knowledgeable, but our Nalrond is young. He has no idea who you are so let's do the proper introductions.

"Nalrond, these are the Council Elders Velkist the Sphinx and Rhuss the Oberon. Velkist, Rhuss, you already know our wonder boy. As you know, he's a Light Master and I think heuld benefit from us old fossils' knowledge of the Rezar tribe."

"You're right, Ajatar." Velkist slapped his own forehead. "You see, young man, the Rezars are the only tribe of Emperor Beasts capable of passing down their Light Mastery. Many learned it in the past, but very few people reached an understanding deep enough to teach it to others.

"Arding to the legends, the Rezars are an unnatural fusion of Emperor Beasts and humans perpetrated through Forbidden Magic. Yet they would be just a historical footnote if not for their ability to resist cursed objects.

"It is said that after Sinmara defeated Dawn over a thousand years ago, she brought her crystal to a Fringe where the Rezars sought refuge from their tormentors. For some unknown reason, the Bright Day taught the Rezars how to master all branches of light magic.

"Everyone in the Rezar tribe, even small kids, is a skilled healer and Light Master."

"Or so the rumors say." Rhuss pointed out and Velkist nodded.

"I see." Nalrond faked interest in the brief summary of his tribe's history. "What about the sightings of a living Rezar? Why are we still here? If we catch him, we can find a Fringe, you can learn Light Mastery, and I get access to spells a self-taught like me can only dream about!"

He hated talking about one of his people like that, but righteousness was pointless when dealing with someone powerful enough to squash Nalrond like a bug. He needed to test the waters and understand how credible the source of the rumors was.

'Gods if Jirni's training paid off.' Nalrond inwardly thought. 'How can she act like this with everyone and not hate herself?'

Rhuss, Velkist, and many others chuckled amicably at the Agni's outburst, Ajatar included.

"My boy, I was excited just like you back when I heard my first rumor of a Rezar sighting." Ajatar said. "Too bad it ended up being a young Wyvern playing a prank on his parents."

"Lucky you." Velkist said. "Mine was nothing but a hoax. I wasted weeks before realizing an idiot had made everything up just to get himself free drinks."

"You think yourself unlucky?" Rhuss snorted. "Mine was Manohar! That piece of shit beat the crap out of me and almost captured me for his experiments."

"There's nothing shameful in losing to the late god of healing." Nalrond patted his back. "I'm told he was a genius."

"He wasn't the god of healing yet. He was fourteen for the gods' sake!" Rhuss shuddered at the thought. "The little bastardrnered me with the help of the Queen Corps' unit protecting him.
