Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1117

Chapter 1117 Dos and Don’ts Part 1

"I may not be part of the army anymore, but the Kingdom is my birthplace and the magical beasts’ community is the closest thing to a family I have. Ajatar agreed to take me in after I offered to help him protect his turf.

"Between undead beasts preying on their kin and the undead who fail to infiltrate human cities to feed, Awakened Lords have their workload increased because humans do not care for what happens in the wilds as long as it doesn’t threaten their lifestyle.

"Besides, I needed something to do while waiting for your call." Morok said, making her chuckle.

At the second course, they started to chat about their respective apprenticeships, sharing stories about their hardships and successes. After years spent hiding her activities from mostly everyone she knew, Quylla had a good time speaking freely.

Even at the academy, she rarely opened up to someone about her research. Laymen wouldn’t understand a word of what she said, whereas competent mages would gladly steal her ideas.

The field of magical research was very competitive and even inside her own team, everyone only looked after themselves. To make matters worse, her talent often made others jealous.

Male Mages in her same field avoided Quylla like a plague while nobles only sought her to become magical bloodlines and for the power that being close with the Ernas household would provide them.

Morok was rude and often foul-mouthed, but he didn’t seem to care about her being a better mage or even having a better mana core. His only reaction to learning she would probably achieve a violet core was to propose a toast.

"Are you really okay with not being Awakened? This way you’ll be stuck with a blue core your whole life whereas Awakened can achieve a violet core and use Spirit Magic. It’s pretty awesome if you ask me." Quylla felt tipsy for having drunk a bit too much.

Morok was a heavyweight and she had got carried away following his lead.

"If there’s one thing I learned in my brief time as a feudal lord, is that with more power come a lot more responsibilities. I don’t want to be forced to join the Council and being just a true mage is an excellent excuse to skip the Spirit Magic class." He said, making her laugh hard.

"That wasn’t even funny. You should really stop drinking."

"I guess you’re right." Quylla said after noticing that people were staring at her and she couldn’t care less. "I need a detoxify spell but I’m having trouble focusing. Do you mind giving me a hand?" _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

Getting rid of alcohol from the bloodstream required but a tier one spell that Morok promptly administered. Its only side effect was the dire need for a bathroom to literally flush the wine out.

While the sobered up Quylla rushed to the lavatory, Morok used her absence to pay the bill in advance, giving the waiter both a generous tip and an apology.

’Like Master Ajatar always says, even beasts act like humans when they live among them whereas I act like neither a human nor a beast, just like a prick.’ He thought.

Before leaving the Gluttonous Scorpicore, Quylla had to drink an entire water jug to make up for the lost fluids, but aside from that, her mind was as sharp as ever.
