Kapitel 776: Powerhouse (Part 2)

"Are you saying that you Awakened know about Forgemastering runes and that the members of the Council have access at least to the basics of all magical disciplines?" Lith needed to stall a little longer.

"Of course we know about runes, but we don't give anything for free." Raagu's grimace wouldn't have been worse even if Lith had just attempted to stab her.

"I meant that with my help, you could find a master who would allow you to discover your true potential."

"Thanks, but no thanks." Lith shook his head. "I'm not interested in serving someone in the hopes that I get something in return. I don't deal in maybes, only in certainties. All the Awakened I killed were part of your Council, yet they were nothing special."

Raagu's grimace surprisingly managed to get worse, but Lith didn't stop talking.

"Unless you're willing to give me concrete proof or your goodwill, I'm going to decline your offer. I'm done working for free."
