Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1303

Chapter 1303 - Bloodlines and Powers (Part 1)

"What do you mean, Lith’s tribulations affect Solus as well?" Faluel asked.

"It’s still a baseless theory so I don’t want to get your hopes up. Besides, to share it with you, I would be forced to violate his privacy and reveal some of the secrets Lith keeps for himself." Leegaain said.

"Then I don’t want to know." Faluel’s curiosity was strong, but not enough to betray her disciples’ trust. "Are you going straight back home or will you stay for tea?"

"Neither. We’re going to the Flying Griffon resort and get my blood samples. I swear that if I receive another damn cigar or a blue ribbon, I’ll wage a war so bloody that the undead will be forced to migrate again!"

"I’m sorry, but I can’t leave Lutia." Faluel shook her head. "I promised Lith to protect the village and I’m not letting him down again."

"Nonsense! No one of his family is here at the moment so there’s no one to protect. On the contrary, if you follow me to the Flying Griffon, you will be able to keep an eye on Elina, Raaz, and Rena while also enjoying a nice vacation. My treat."

Leegaain needed Faluel to introduce him, or he would never be able to approach Lith’s parents without the Queen’s Corps busting his scaly a.s.s into jail, let alone ask them a sample of their blood.

He could easily fend the security detail off and take what he wanted by force, but that would mean angering Lith again and possibly triggering Tyris even more. She was already pissed off with Leegaain and attacking her people on her own turf would have made Fenagar’s transgression look like a joke between friends.

"I’m sorry but no. Selia is still here with my goddaughter Fenrir and I won’t risk their lives nor the safety of Lutia for your sake. Everything Lith’s parents have is here. If the village is reduced to a crater, all of my disciples and their families will suffer."

"Very well, I’ll provide you with an excellent stand-in to ease your worries." Leegaain sighed while activating his mind link. "I never took you for such a mother hen. You Hydras have taken too much from my side of the family."

"I’ll take that as a compliment." Faluel said with a thankful nod of the head.

"What are you doing on Tyris’s turf, old lizard? I hope you two are not having fun without me." Salaark looked away from the mountain of paperwork in front of her and turned towards the Kingdom, where the link pinpointed Leegaain.

It was still dawn in the Desert and she usually spent the time until noon dealing with her duties of Overlord, yet Salaark would gladly postpone them for a Guardian party.

"We wouldn’t dare. I’m just working to get rid of those rumors about Lith being a Dragon. I need someone to keep an eye on Lutia while my granddaughter is away or she won’t leave her lair. Without her help, I’ve got no chance of success." He replied.

"You have hundreds of powerful children and most of them love you. Why do you need mine?"

"Because I’m trying to clear the rumors, not to confirm them. If a few Dragons start to keep Lith’s family safe, not even Blood Resonance will ever convince the Council that we are not related." Leegaain said.

"True, but what’s in it for me?" She said, hoping to get something juicy in return.
