Chapter 991

“Even though Lith Verhen had no master, he achieved more than most of our apprentices. How many twenty years old Awakened you know capable of killing an old fox like Gaaron? He belongs to the Council. He just needs guidance.”

Jiza Gernoff’s words surprised Lith and made him understand that she was actually his second defense counsel.

“Intriguing!” Inxialot’s eyes lit up as his greed overshadowed even the red light of undeath. “To accept such a claim as proof, we have to first examine said equipment. Give his belongings to me.”

The King of Liches extended his skeletal hand toward Faluel, who didn’t budge.

“A mage’s secrets are sacred. Lith made the armor and the rings himself, while the sword is my gift for his apprenticeship.” She said giving him a plausible excuse for War. “Stealing both his and my workings isn’t within the purview of this court.”

“All in favor to extend our investigation for the greater good?” Inxialot raised his hand, glad for the first time since he had been chosen as a representative to be part of the Council.
