Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1933

"So Tyris would send her children, the Griffons, to act in her stead and keep helping the other continents without messing with their Guardians' turfs. The Griffons would always take her appearance to reassure the people that she hadn't abandoned them." Zoreth said.

"I get to depict her with a basket, but why the tablet?" Lith pointed at the statue's right hand.

"Because the first thing she taught her followers after how to survive was how to speak the same language and how to write. This way, they could preserve the knowledge she passed unto them and share it with the other tribes." Bytra replied.

While they walked toward the tavern that Zugu had recommended to them, Lith spent the rest of the time in silence.

'I thought that Guardians were just powerful beings that sat on their asses all day except in times of crisis.' He thought. 'Tyris basically shaped four continents alone for centuries. It's no wonder that even the other Guardians respect her.'

'Then why did the people of Verendi speak so many languages and why is she less active now?' Solus asked and Lith relayed her doubts.

"Verendi is under Fenagar, who promotes innovation, and Zagran, who preaches individuality." Bytra replied. "They were their local gods while Tyris was forced to stay away so the people preferred to follow their teachings.

"As for Solus' second question, Tyris acts less simply because people don't need her so much anymore. She gave us a common tongue, the means to cultivate the land, and taught us magic.

"Her children spread Silverwing's legacy throughout Mogar and now the four races can fend for themselves. Or better, they must or they will always remain like children who can't survive without their mother."

The food at the Drunken Snake tavern was even worse than that on the caravan, but at least it was hot and the beverages were cold. A deep yellow cored barista would keep both the ingredients and the water fresh.

Several ampoules of water were hung to the walls, spreading humidity and helping the weak mage to keep the dining area pleasant despite the heat coming from the sun, the stoves, and the people at the tables.

"Did we anger Zugu or what?" Lith checked his watch.

There was still time before his lunch with Kamila, but as someone who had been allegedly stranded in the savanna and then had worked his ass off, he was supposed to be hungry.

"Couldn't he send us to a place with good food?"

"The food is good, it's just you not having a taste for the local cuisine." Zoreth replied. "Also, we didn't come here to eat, but to listen. Zugu assured me that this is the right place for those who seek a job or information."

"Okay, fine. But what happened to all that 'we are Abominations. We don't hide' stuff? Why the disguise?" He asked.

"Because due to Tyris' legacy, women with pale skin and either bright colored eyes or golden hair are highly sought after." The Shadow Dragon pointed at her wife and Lith's ring. "If we kept our original appearance, you'd have to fight just to keep people away from them.

"Also, if someone gets too cocky with us and we have to kill a lot of people, the only rumors we would hear are those about ourselves. We can't poison the water we are drinking from nor can we afford to have armies chasing us.

"We are confident, not stupid. As I told you earlier, the first part of the chase is of critical importance. As soon as we find a lead, we can drop all the pretenses."

"Well, Solus doesn't have golden hair like Rena. She just has a very light shade of brown." Lith tried to change the topic, realizing that she was right.

"Point taken." Lith nodded. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}
