Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2221

Each one of the shelves was filled with ingredients that went from rare to unique. Some of them Lith had only seen in the illustrated children's books he read Aran and Leria.

He had always considered them the McGuffin bards used to justify unplausible twists, but now he was staring at them and they stared back.

"What even is this stuff?" Kamila asked Salaark who was the only one as unimpressed as she was.

Lith and Solus, instead, behaved like children in a toy shop.

"Work stuff. Boring stuff." The Overlord rolled her eyes in annoyance. "If this is what you wanted to share with me, you could have just sent me a picture."

"I know that my lab is nothing special by your standards but-"

"How did you do that?" Lith had just discovered that Leegaain's PC didn't need a mouse.

All he had to do was touch the mana crystal and think about what he wanted to search and browse for it to comply. It had simple programs for writing, drawing, several games, and even an internal library.

"This is exactly what I planned of sharing with the Kingdom, just 1,000 times better. It requires no amulet nor anything."

"Memory crystals are a complex tool that if properly mastered, can be taught how to learn and self-upgrade." The Father of All Dragons puffed his chest out in pride. Like all artists, he loved answering the questions of his fans.

"How is it possible?" Solus asked. "I know about mana crystals, but there's only so much space in their lattice to store information. How did you solve such an issue?"

"Easy." Leegaain replied with a smug grin on his face. "The trick is to not cut the crystals and leave them in their natural state as the Orcs do. By doing this and providing them with a sufficient flow of world energy, the raw crystals can keep growing indefinitely.

"This way, the expanding lattice can store the newly acquired information as it develops, saving you the hassle to input the data manually. Always remember, only idiots cut the crystals early, and with them, they cut their own legs."

"You are a genius, Grampa." Solus ran from one terminal to another, checking them with her breathing technique and discovering that the Guardian was telling the truth.

"How did you acquire such a vigorous and steady flow of world energy? Keeping up a whole network of growing memory crystals that communicate with each other, sharing their discoveries in a lattice-mind requires insane amounts of powers."

"Thank you, sweetie." Leegaain patted her head, snapping his fingers again to raise a cloaking field that closed the Eyes of Menadion shut. "No peeking, though."

"Grandma! He's being mean!" Solus grabbed Salaark's skirt, pointing at Leegaain in a way that reminded the Guardians of Aran and Leria.

"There, there." The Overlord caressed Solus' hair. "Grampa has every right to preserve his secrets just like you guys yours. If you join his brood, though, I'm certain he'll help you."

"Thanks, but no thanks." Lith and Solus said in unison.

"Now, to answer Grumpy's objection and Solus' question, please, follow me." Leegaain opened the door ushering them out of the lab.

"I'm not grumpy!" Salaark objected. "Scratch that, I am. Not only do you have yet to let me hold my son, you also dragged me- Great Mother almighty!"

She took the words out of the minds of everyone as they stared through the windows of the magnificent mansion and found themselves staring at Mogar. From space, the planet looked like a blue jewel with brown and green spots.

"Is this the moon?" Lith asked.
