Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1504

Chapter 1504 Early Rankings Part 2

"My friends met your kind inside a Fringe and they were violent assholes, to put it mildly. Also, I have dealt with a Sapling in the past and, again, it wasn't a pleasant experience."

Lith couldn't bring himself to trust someone related not to one, but to two species that seemed to only bring trouble to others.

"I would have used much stronger words to define those elves, but I agree with you. The problem with my people is that not only did they never get over losing the War of the Races, but by isolating themselves, they also lost contact with reality.

"It made their understanding of the world stagnate whereas the tribes that sought refuge inside the World Tree have access to their unlimited knowledge. Instead of blaming others for our failures, we understood the errors of our ways and became better for it.

"As for the Sapling, I'm sorry you had to deal with such a fool. The life cycle of the current World Tree is coming to an end so I guess that the Sapling couldn't accept the idea of dying first or not to be chosen due to its old age.

"I bet that if the undead's plan succeeded, the moment the World Tree scanned their descendants to find the most suitable heir, the Sapling would have forcefully assimilated the Tree. _{freёweɓnovel.com}

"If it wasn't for you and the other humans of the Griffon Kingdom, my people would have been enslaved by an immortal crazy monster. To me, you and your friend are heroes." Aalejah gave Lith and Phloria a deep bow, even bending her right knee.

A gesture not only of respect, but also of submission that was reserved to the Royals.

"Because of the debt I owe you, I will be completely honest with you. I'm still an apprentice, which means that my mana core is bright blue and my access to the Tree's memory is limited.

"To achieve the violet and become one of the Tree's Chroniclers, they have tasked me to discover both the secrets of Urgamakka and yours. My master is deeply intrigued by the birth of a new species and they have ordered me to find a way to examine you.

"Yet I'm not going to try and take scans of your species unless I have your permission." Aalejah said.

"Doesn't that mean that you'll fail your mission?" Phloria asked, impressed by the girl's honesty but standing in front of Lith nonetheless to keep her from using Life Vision or any other kind of mystical senses on him.

"Correct, but from what I've seen so far, it's not a huge loss." Aalejah shrugged. "I lived all my life within the boundaries of the Fringe where the Tree lives. No matter if my mission succeeds or fails, I'm finally free to travel Mogar.

"To me, it's much more important than gaining a more powerful core or having access to more knowledge. Chroniclers are not much different from Harbingers and I'm still not certain that I'm ready to settle for a life of servitude."

'She's a smart girl.' Lith thought. 'Bright blue means no impurities so even with an elf's body she can always discover the secret of the violet core on her own. If the Tree is anything like the Sapling, I would run away as well.'

Lith found Aalejah's honesty refreshing and her Yggdrasill staff intriguing, but he still didn't trust her. For all he knew, every word she said might be a lie and her behavior be an act to make him lower his guard.
