Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1810

Chapter 1810: Solus’ Birthday (Part 4)

"Yes, but l would still need to come up with an excuse for not having a ged a day and you know how embarrassing it is to ask an ex for a f avor. I guess l have to give up on the painting." Solus said too quickly t o be believable.

"l don't think so.“ Lith shook his head.

"l think you should go and meet t his guy. He could help you remember your past. We'll come up with s ome bullshit while we are on our way. Worst—case scenario, just use y our amnesia as an excuse."

He was happy at the idea of Solus meeting her ex and maybe even r enewing their relationship. lt would have been a huge step forward i n becoming independent from him and getting her own life.

Solus opened her mouth and then closed it several times, never s aying a word. On one hand, she wanted the painting and her m emories back. On the other hand, she was afraid of what her ex w ould say about her old self.

"I agree with Lith here." Salaark said. "Aerth is a ?ne young man and a g reat Forgemaster. He's one of the most promising members of my r esearch and development team. l know that you are working on the m emory crystals and so is he.

"You could get there, chat a bit about the past and your work. You h ave a lot in common.“

"Fine young man?" Lith echoed. "Isn't he like one millennium old?"

"Nah, just over 700 years old. For an Awakened Phoenix, he is a lovely l ittle runt." The Overlord said with a warm smile on her face, r emembering the day her child had been born.

"He has become famous as a problem solver and many mages look for h im to have a second opinion about their research. You are lucky to h ave the opportunity to meet him."

"I agree." Lith nodded.

"Just one word of advice. Aerth is a Blue Phoenix who became known a s ‘the bluebird of happiness’ since whoever found him went home w ith the answer they were looking for, but if you mention it to him, h e'll kick you out."

Lith and Solus chuckled at the once glorious nickname. In recent y ears, "the bluebird of happiness" had been chosen as the name of a p otion of obvious color used to solve a recurring problem that some m en past a certain age had to reach happiness in bed.

‘Your ex has unwittingly become the poster boy for Mogar's e quivalent of Wyagra.' Lith inwardly laughed.

‘Poor fellow.‘ Solus chuckled. ‘In his shoes, I would get irritable as w ell.’

"Thanks, Grandma. l think I'll follow your advice.“ She said with a sigh, u nwilling to run away from her past. "Where can we ?nd Aerth?"

"His lab is several hundreds of kilometers to the west of here, but you c an reach it directly via the Warp Gate. Unlike my tribes, a mana g eyser can't walk so the members of my nest have all their own t ransportation device." Salaark replied, handing them a traveling p ermit.

"This way you don't have to waste time looking for him and you are f ree not to tell him about the tower. The mana geyser should be more t han enough to sustain you, Solus."

"Off we go, then." Lith gave Salaark a bow and a few sweets that he h ad kept for the party before leaving.

"Not so fast." The Overlord said.

"l know that you guys went on a m ission recently and I bet that you've gotten yourself some loot. Do y ou want me to recycle it for you?"

"We thought you were in a bad mood and we didn't want to bother y ou further.“ Solus replied.

“Sorry for earlier." Salaark sighed. "l‘m still pissed off at a rude jerk, a nd pregnancy doesn't help. Since you are already here, there's no r eason to waste your and my time with a second trip."
