Chapter 1211
“You are seeing the glass as half empty, as usual.” Solus said. “There is no risk in trying. As Xoth said, we can leave at the first sign of trouble. Also, if this is really an attempt to trigger a tribulation, then it already failed.

“World tribulations don’t happen if you want them to. Last, but not least, I want to believe in Faluel’s kindness. If she sent us here, it’s because she hopes that by helping Jiera we can also help ourselves.

“And you are seeing the glass as half full, as usual.” Lith replied. “You are right about the tribulation, but the problem is that I don’t want it to trigger because I don’t want to die, so the risk still stands.

“Whatever her reason for sending us here is, I hate being manipulated. She should have come to me and said everything straight to my face. The only thing we agree on, is that passing the opportunity to check on the effects of Forbidden Magic would be beyond idiotic.
