Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1929

"I'm not on a leash! It's just that since it's still our honeymoon and going to Verendi might be dangerous, I needed my wife's approval." Lith blushed a little in embarrassment.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of." Zoreth sighed. "Bytra did the same to me soon after our marriage. Don't kill him, darling. Don't destroy a whole building just to get the job done faster. Talking is always an option."

She imitated Bytra's voice making it sound shrill and annoying, but whenever Zoreth talked about her wife, her lips curved up into a smile.

"You know, I wish that Vastor and Zinya have such an honest relationship as well. They always argue because he refuses to tell her where he goes and why. So far, she has been patient, but if he doesn't open up a little, things will get ugly."

"What about the rest? How long will the mission take?" Lith asked.

"No more than a few days at worst." The Shadow Dragon shrugged. "If the idiot had kept his communication amulet, we'd just get him and then look around for the Mouth. As things are, instead, we have first to search for Theseus and it could take a while."

She explained to Lith how the black pillars worked and how they would find the missing Eldritch as long as he was still alive.

"I also want to bring you along to check if you have a similar ability. After all, you are part Abomination as well." Zoreth said.

"What if I do?" The nature of the black pillar reminded Lith of the Phoenix's bloodline ability Call of the Blood.

"We would be able to find Theseus much faster." She replied. "Abominations work in pairs not because we need someone covering our backs, but because of the resonance effect that being close creates.

"By combining our strength, Bytra and I are capable of emitting a much stronger signal that allows our brethren to communicate with us and know our position even from a continent of distance.

"If you can do the same, the resonance will be much stronger and we'll pinpoint Theseus's position from a greater distance. Also, it would be of great help to you in the future since you could always call upon us in case you need help."

On the one hand, Lith didn't like the idea of the Abominations and the Master always knowing where he was. On the other hand, however, in the war and especially the next time he faced Orpal, Lith could use some Eldritch muscle.

"Where and when do we meet?" He asked.

"Tomorrow morning, at the city of Bilok, on the southern border of the Desert. I'd rather move now, but I think that Elphyn needs to rest. She didn't look good when we left." Zoreth said.

"Thanks for your kindness. Also, the next time you meet her, call her Solus. She doesn't really like her old name."

"Will do. Zoreth out."

Much to Lith's surprise, after finishing cooking lunch, Kamila had demanded to cuddle on the couch while she explained to him everything that she knew about Verendi in front of a holographic map of the southern continent.

"They speak Tyris' universal language so you'll be fine." She said in between kisses. "With your tan, very few will believe that you are a foreigner. You have almost gotten as dark as a native of the Desert."

"Is there a problem with foreigners?" Lith asked.

Solus was bright pink at best and unless Zoreth used Body Sculpting, she was so pale that she almost looked sick.
