Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1159

Chapter 1159 Cleansing the Land Part 1

Lith spent the evening looking for food stalls and restaurants just to discover that there were none. Tista, instead, had no idea what to do after giving up on her assignment as a teacher.

She went to the neighboring Garden of Knowledge and studied Jiera’s version of the Battle Mage specialization.

"This place sucks." Lith said after setting up the table with mostly food from Garlen that he had stored inside his pocket dimension.

"They have no bread, no sweets, no processed food at all. The only things you can acquire are the basic ingredients. Everything else is up to you."

"Well, making bread is easy. We just need a bit of flour." Tista shrugged.

"Great. I’ll leave it to you, then." Lith gave her a handful of fresh wheat.

"Are you saying they don’t even grind it?" Tista was flabbergasted.

"Worse. Aside from meat, fish, and fruit, we don’t even get spices or salt unless we get them ourselves." He replied.

"How much food have you brought?" Phloria started munching her spicy fried chicken slower. She feared it might be her last decent meal and she wanted to enjoy it at its fullest.

"Enough to last for a month. I don’t think we’ll stay in Reghia that long, but it still sucks. Eating local food is the same as taking a camping trip in the wilds back home unless we go to a human city. Yet I doubt they fare much better." Lith said.

"This sure explains why everyone in the human district is in a bad mood." Phloria said. "They have lost their homes, their family members, and even the small things that they took for granted."

"It still doesn’t justify their attitude." Tista shook her head. "When I was little and still ill, even meat was a luxury. We would mostly eat broths and stews. I didn’t have bread regularly until Lith went to the academy."

Phloria stopped eating and looked at them as if it was the first time. They were both so tall and good-looking that it was hard to imagine them having such a hard past.

"Tomorrow I’m going to the barracks and look for some work in the field. I’m sure there must be something that needs to be killed. What about you?" Lith asked.

"I’ll try to beat some sense in those guys. Literally, if I have to." It wasn’t the first tough nut that Phloria had to crack.

Most of the recruits in the army were commoners who didn’t like nobles in general, let alone those who managed to start their career as officers.

"I’m not big on killing, but I’m sure that if I look around, I’ll find something to do." Tista said.

"I’m going with Lith." Solus said. "With a bit of luck, we could find a mana geyser and check if it can allow us to go back home. On top of that, I’m curious to see how a Mogar without humans looks like. As for the bread..."

Solus let the wheat that Lith had brought home fall toward the ground, where a small hole opened. It allowing the others to see that they were right above the Alchemy lab, where a grind turned the wheat into a fine dust that was thoroughly filtered.
