Chapter 4199: Trust Issues (Part 2)

"Speaking of the Eyes..." The Wight looked around for the artifact.

"About that, please, give us a moment." The Fire Dragon gave her a shallow bow and took a few steps away with Lith, handing him the artifact.

A Hush zone kept the vampire and her mother from listening to what the two men were saying, but the exchange lasted only a handful of seconds. Erghak gave the Eyes to Lith, Lith gave them back to Erghak, and after a while, he took it back.

"Here you go, Kalla." Lith handed the artifact to Kalla after removing the imprint on it with Creation Magic. "How is Ajatar doing, Patriarch?"

"He tends to keep to himself too much, but he’s otherwise fine." Erghak clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Tell Fyrwal that her method works. Ajatar’s bloodline is that of a true Dragon."

"I will." A small part of Lith wanted to chat with Ajatar and ask him about his sapphire energy, but the rest of him craved Raldarak’s presence like a man in the desert needs water. "Please, let us out. We’ll see each other again at the gala."

"In fifteen days." Erghak said after opening the envelope. "Not one more, not one less. Goodbye, my friend."

A wave of the patriarch’s hand Warped Lith, Kalla, and Nyka in the same spot where they had disappeared earlier.

’Quick, we must leave before the moron realizes his mistake!’ Kalla said via a mind link, afraid someone was spying on them.

’What mistake?’ Lith activated the tower’s Mirror Warp to reach his destination in one Steps and charged up the Tower Warp.

"Erghak just handed me two pieces of the Menadion Set after using them to perfect the Fire Dragon’s legacy!" Kalla replied. "This is a treasure trove of knowledge, and I mean to dig as deep as I can before he notices."

"Didn’t you hand him your research as well?" Lith asked.

"That’s different." Kalla snorted. "I backed everything up in your Eyes and wiped mine clean. I had the imprint on the Eyes, not him-"

Her voice died in her throat when Kalla found no information stored inside the artifacts in the past six months. The Ears still contained the legacy of Pharek of Derios, Menadion’s apprentice and rightful heir to the artifact.

Lith had left it as part of the reward for saving Solus. After synchronizing the Apprentice Ears with the tower, of course.

As for the Eyes, they were the blank slate that Kalla had left.

"Why?" She asked in confusion. "How?"

"It’s one of the reasons Erghak asked for my presence." Lith shrugged. "I undid the imprint on the Eyes and allowed him to delete the records of his bloodline’s research."

"And why did you do that?" Kalla whimpered.

"Because it was his clan legacy." Lith glowered at the Wight. "I owe Valtak that much, and the Fire Dragons are helping Tista to sell her Flames and crafted her weapon. I don’t stab my friends in the back."

"Wait a second." Nyka said. "I remember clearly Menadion telling Fyrwal that the Ears and Eyes of the tower record everything, and the stored information can’t be destroyed."

"And I didn’t lie." Menadion said. "I had no control over the Apprentice Set after handing its pieces to my favorite disciples, and there were countless things that might have gone wrong.
