Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2245

Tyris liked everything about the tower, but the Crucible, the Mines, the Greenhouse, and the Workshop had a special place in her heart.

Collecting resources at an enhanced speed and not wasting any of them during her experiments was a dream come true. Especially since it would limit her dependence on Salaark and her Creation Magic.

"I'm going to offer Salaark my help in exchange for hers in crafting my tower. This is a joyous occasion. Millennia have passed since the last time the three Guardians of Garlen worked together."

Lith was still waiting for the call from the Royals so the moment his body recovered from the strain caused by the mission at the Golden Griffon, he resumed his work in the tower.

His parents spent most of their time with him in Lutia, using the DoLorean to visit their friends like Lark and Brinja, or just to take joy rides alone. Kamila had gone back to work right after the forced truce caused by the Dragon Dance had ended.

Neither Lith nor Solus liked having Kamila away but knowing that there was always at least one Guardian protecting her put their minds at ease.

They were working on Awakening their weapons and training Blade Magic when they were summoned to the Overlord's palace for a family dinner.

"Again?" Lith rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Don't be a sourpuss." Solus scolded him. "Grandma wants you to spend time with Shargein and to bond with Grampa. You should be happy that she cares so much about making you part of the life of the baby."

"That or she's setting my baby up for an arranged marriage." He replied with a snort.

"You can't be serious." Solus was flabbergasted.

"I'm dead serious. New race meets new race. Heck, I'm surprised that Tyris hasn't mentioned anything yet. Maybe she's waiting to see if I end up adopting Valeron the Second. You know, to add Griffon blood to the mix." Lith shrugged.

Solus swallowed a lump of saliva and said nothing. Lith's rampant paranoia infected her mind and spread like wildfire.

Yet when they arrived at the Overlord's Palace, they found several unexpected guests.

Not only was the whole Verhen family assembled, but also the Royals, Jirni, Jiza, and the representatives of Garlen's Awakened Council.

"What the heck does this mean?" Lith asked, noticing that everyone was on edge.

"I'm sorry for the ambush, Magus Verhen, but this is a matter of national security that involves your family as well." King Meron said. "Summoning the Verhens at the Royal Palace would have raised too many questions whereas you visiting Salaark is hardly a novelty."

Lith nodded and took a good look at the King while giving him a small bow.

Meron seemed to have made a full recovery from his use of the Forbidden Array. The only traces left were the locks of grey hair and the age lines under his eyes.

"With all due respect, Your Majesty, I don't understand the reason you need the presence of my family. They are not involved in the war… Did Thrud threaten them?" The thought that the Mad Queen might have put a target on their back to avenge Jormun's death sent a shiver down his spine.
