Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1456

Chapter 1456 - All Work And No Play (Part 2)

"Thanks to the Eyes, I'm certain that Lith and I have performed more discoveries than the Master and his Organization would in the same amount of time. And they are a bunch of old-ass monsters without a life."

The more Phloria learned about the capabilities of Menadion's tower, the more she understood why Lith had kept Solus a secret from her for that long.

'An artifact of this power would trigger wars between countries, humans, and even continents that might last forever. A mage tower is truly a mage's greatest dream. At first, I got really angry with Lith, but now I'm certain that he did the right thing.

'Sure, their relationship is creepy as heck, but he can't reveal Solus's existence to anyone without also revealing the tower. My only question is, how could he realize all of this by himself while he was still a kid?' Phloria thought.

"Just one question." She actually said. "Does the tower have a mind or sentience of sorts? Because I don't understand how a thing like my glass or this tea table can help you think, Solus."

"No, the tower has no sentience. It's just a bunch of magic and stones. You must think of it as of a-" Solus was about to say supercomputer, but then she realized that on Mogar no one knew what even a microchip was.

Explaining Phloria about computer programs that ran up simulations to predict phenomenons and sped up the resolution of the algorithms she came with would have just been a massive waste of time.

"Of an extra brain that I can metaphorically attach to mine to become temporarily smarter."

"That's just great. Solus is right, you got plenty of spoils from your little trip to Lightkeep. Stop being a sourpuss, Lith." Phloria whistled in approval.

"What Happy here fails to mention here is how little we actually learned and how boring the process is. We had to stare for days at both the crystal and the gloves, then read lots of stuff to make sense of them, and then trying to put what we learned into practice.

"The Eyes can tell us what something can do, but not how they do it or how can we make them do it. Not to mention that due to Solus's weak power core, we both get a massive headache every time we use the Eyes for too long!" Lith felt a phantom pain just talking about it.

"What did you learn about the orc crystal?" Elina asked.

She wasn't a mage, but learning about magic was the only way to have a meaningful conversation with her children so she had sucked her boredom up and understood at least the basics of it.

On top of that, theoretical magic worked wonders for the kids, making them fall asleep faster than any fairy tale could. Aran and Leria had dozed off before they even started to talk about the Eyes.

They were hugged to their respective magical beast, using their soft fur as mattress, pillow, and blankets.

"Disturbing things." Lith's words made even Elina curious and scared.

Her son would rarely be upset by anything but the death of someone close to him, let alone some brainless piece of crystal.

"During our fight with the orc shaman, she used spells that no member of their race is supposed to know. Orcs can't use magic above tier three unless they are some kind of Manohar and that shaman definitely wasn't so smart.

"Yet she managed to cast a tier four spell because it's memorized in the crystal. Once we made this discovery, we checked the Eye of Kolga and the other mana crystals in our possession. What we found is that all of them have some kind of memory function." Lith said.
