Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2077

Chapter 2077 Weak Point (Part 1)

Ever since Kamila had resumed her job after the Magus ceremony, she worked faster and better than ever, finding clues that escaped the notice of most Constables and that Jirni was used to finding during her final sweep of a crime scene.

Also, Kamila had mastered Jirni's teachings, becoming a human lie detector.

"Now, if it's not beneath you, go interrogate the suspects in the green room, o Lady Magus." Jirni said with mock deference.

"As you wish, Lady Jirni Narma Tageta Ernas." Kamila gave her a bow as Jirni stiffened up for a second.

Middle names were the bane of every noble, even she. The only reason no one was chuckling was that they were too afraid of the Archon, especially during office hours when her interrogation kit was at hand.

'Everyone needs a particular trigger to make their talent bloom. I guess that for Kamila overcoming so many hardships in a row did the trick.' Jirni thought, appreciating the newfound sass of her apprentice.

'What the heck is wrong with me?' Kamila thought the moment she stepped out of the room, her face flushing in embarrassment. 'Even though I was pissed off at sergeant Junio, I shouldn't have teased Jirni.

'She is the only one who stood by my side when everyone else on the job piled up on me. Gods, I guess that receiving the title of Supreme Magus went to my head instead of Lith's.'

Even though almost two weeks had passed since the gala, whenever someone called Lith by his title, he would ignore them thinking they were talking to someone else. It always took him multiple calls or catching the reflection of his white robe to remember that it was actually him.

Kamila walked through a richly furnished corridor with one member of the Knight's Guard by her either side. Back when she had started working as a Constable, visiting noble households left her in awe.

The fine carpets were as soft as clouds and every wooden surface had been inlaid by skilled artisans, giving even a broom closet a majestic aura. At the same time, being constantly followed by soldiers whenever she went, even to the bathroom, had embarrassed her greatly.

There was no telling when and where an attack might take place so the Knight's Guard would never leave a Constable alone except that in safe buildings like the army headquarters.

After a while, the riches had become nothing but a glossy coating to the filth any noble household kept hidden and the presence of her bodyguards now reassured her. Living with Lith first and then working with Jirni had taught Kamila to always be wary of her surroundings.

She reached a door covered in golden strands centered around the handle that looked like a spiderweb. Corporal Assa tapped at the core of the magical lock with his silver wand and the threads anchored to the doorframe receded.

The walls of a noble household were enchanted to be harder than steel and channeled several arrays through the windows, leaving the doors as the only weak point. The Sealing Yarn would link itself at the arrays and extend their effects to the doors as well so that no one could get in or out until it was removed.

The green room owed its name to the ocean-colored wallpaper covering its walls but it was actually a tea room where the lord of the house would meet his guests. It was the closest place to the study big enough to comfortably hold the suspects and the members of the Knight's Guard watching them.

"Now if you're done with your questions, I have a few of my own." Kamila didn't wait for an answer and put the box containing the communication amulets on the table as well. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}
