Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1760

Chapter 1760 - Set Up (Part 2)

"Would you like some ice cream? I think I made a bit too much." Solus said.

"Yes, thank you." Lith sat on a sofa, taking a doggie bag from Haug's restaurant out of his pocket dimension.

Solus squealed with joy at the sweet scent of freshly baked chocolate-dipped cookies. She jumped on the sofa beside Lith, putting the bowl of ice cream on the tea table in front of them and the cookies on her side of the sofa.

"Those are my favorite. Thanks for remembering." She used the cookies as scoops, covering her mouth in cream and crumbles.

"Those are my favorites as well. Can I have some, please?"

Solus looked at the cookies she had conveniently left out of his reach, weighing her options.

"Sure, but eat with moderation or there won't be enough left for tomorrow's breakfast." She gave him two cookies, keeping the tray for herself.

"Hey, pot. My name is kettle and you are black!" Lith snarled at her stingy double standards.

"Guilty as charged." Solus used Body Sculpting to make her skin dark and snuggled up to him while continuing to eat.

"Smartass." Lith said with a chuckle, caressing her head.

"Speaking of smartasses, why do you think Faluel pranked you?" She asked.

"Either because of the kiss or just for the fun of it. After all, she sent me here. She probably wanted to mess with both of us." Lith replied.

"And she succeeded." Solus grumbled as if she had no part in it.

"Whatever the reason, it's not important." After finishing his two cookies, Lith decided to face the elephant in the room. "Based on what she told me, Salaark and everyone in the Council knows about my condition.

"I still have quite a long time to live, but it gets shorter every time I'm forced to go all-out. I know that you don't like it, but I'm thinking about experimenting with the body-swapping machine."

The sweet, still warm cookie turned sour like a lemon in her mouth, making Solus lose her appetite. She put the bitten biscuit back in the tray and cleaned her mouth to buy some time to think.

In Kulah, they had found the ancient blueprints of the machine that the Odi used to prolong their life by stealing the body of others. It was an old relic half magic and half technology that was impossible to recreate just with Earth's knowledge.

Lith and Solus had worked on it for months trying to understand its underlying principles in order to use modern magic to make up for the missing technology, but to no avail.

Blueprints and schematics of the various parts were pointless without knowing how to build them and what materials they were made of. Without such information, Lith was incapable of building another machine and solving his reincarnation problem.

Then, the Horseman of the Bright Day had lured Lith into a trap, to kill him and give her host, Ranger Acala, the glory they deserved. After meeting Nalrond and escaping her ambush, Lith had found Dawn's lab.

Built deep in the mountains, inside one of the old Odi settlements, the Horseman had combined the knowledge from their books with her own to alter the body-swapping machine.

Lith had no use for the contraption, but he had rejoiced when, after studying it, he discovered that the Horsman had solved the issue for him, replacing most of the technology with arrays. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}
