Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1131

Chapter 1131 Council Duty Part 1

Zinya remained in the Verhen Household until Professor Vastor contacted her to apologize for his sudden disappearance. She could tell that there was something different about him even by just looking at his hologram, but she was too happy seeing him safe and sound to care for small details.

"Mom, Dad, Kami, I’m leaving in a while. Faluel has just contacted me about the details of my apprenticeship and she says that until I’m done with this task, she won’t teach me anything else." Lith said while playing with Aran and Leria.

"Where are you going and how long will you stay there?" Elina asked.

"I don’t know, Mom. This isn’t your usual fetch quest, but a trial of wisdom. It could take hours, days, if not even weeks." Lith shrugged.

"What if something happens again while you’re gone?" Raaz asked.

"Well, the Beasts Council has assured me your protection and I’ve got that huge Dragon’s contact rune on my amulet. I’m going to call her the moment I see any of your amulets become unavailable so keep them always at hand." Lith said.

"Are you going alone or does Faluel allow you to have companions? I could ask for a leave if you need my help." Kamila didn’t like the idea of hearing from him only through the amulet like it happened when Lith served as a Ranger.

She had gotten used to dine together, to listen to his snoring while falling asleep, and to him being the last thing she saw at night and the first in the morning. With her work as a Royal Constable, Kamila found the routine reassuring.

On top of that, she liked the fact that Nalrond was the only other man in the group even less. The idea of Lith spending so much time with Phloria or Friya made her stomach turn into a knot.

"I don’t know that either. Faluel only told me to pack my stuff and to be ready to leave as soon as she’s done with the preparations. Which is quite odd since there is no place in the Kingdom and beyond that I can’t reach with a simple Warp Gate." Lith said.

"I don’t care about your wisdom. If something bad happens or if the test is unreasonable, get back home in one piece. It’s the only thing I ask of you." Kamila hugged him tight, feeling as if Lith was going in a place where she couldn’t follow him.

"I couldn’t have said it better." Elina joined them in the embrace, quickly followed by Raaz.

"Not to be that guy, son, but have you recharged all of the house’s defenses? You know, just to be safe." He said.

"Yes, Dad. I even replaced the mana crystals fueling the arrays with others bigger and of better quality. Also, I’ve notified my absence to the Royals who promised to increase your detail until my return." Lith replied.

’If push comes to shove, I can always get back here with the tower warp. Let’s hope that wherever I’m going there is a mana geyser nearby, otherwise I’m really screwed.’ He thought.

Much to everyone’s surprise, it took Faluel hours to summon Lith to her lair, calling him in the middle of the night along with only a few members of his group.

Lith, Tista, Solus, and Phloria had received the call as well while the others had followed them only out of curiosity.

"I know this is an odd time to hit the road, but soon everything will be clear." Faluel took three yellow-collared potions out of her dimensional item and injected their content into their bodies with Quylla’s spell.

"Solus, you’d better hide because this is an official mission for the Council and soon a few people will get here to help you moving."
