Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2514

"I want to hear all about your adventures with Dryads. You've never mentioned them before."

"They were a pain in the ass." Morok jumped out of the grave he had dug for himself, hoping it wasn't too deep. "You have no idea how many losers I had to rescue before they were turned into fertilizer.

"Some men seem to lose their mind as soon as they see a hottie with big breasts, long legs, and…."

"You'd better stop rambling. There's no time to lose." Ajatar nudged him.

"And I'd better stop rambling. You said they went in that direction, correct?" Morok bolted forward without waiting for an answer, hoping that the flight would last long enough to make Quylla's murderous rage subside.

They traveled for over an hour, keeping silent to not waste their focus and mana before a possible fight. Unfortunately for Lith, they met no mana geyser on their path so he couldn't obtain new information from the tower.

Solus confirmed him to be okay every half an hour, but she had yet to find the opportunity to send him more details about her current situation.

The message said water so they stopped over every river, lake, and creek they spotted from above but to no avail.

'Is it normal not to find a geyser for so long?' Lith asked via a mind link due to the high-speed flight making it impossible to speak.

During his tours as a Ranger, he had noticed how random the abundance of sources of world energy seemed to be.

'Normal, yes. Natural, no.' The Hydra replied. 'We are way past 500 kilometers now. If we don't find something soon, I'll have to promise a few favors.'

'Wait, what's the difference?' He said in confusion.

'It's normal because powerful geysers that produce magical resources are often cloaked by their discoverer to not have to share them with the Kingdom or other Awakened.

'Do you remember the mine in my turf that Glemos ransacked?' Faluel asked, receiving a nod in reply. 'Like that. So it's not natural but it's still normal. If Glemos built the refuge himself, he must have taken care of hiding it from Life Vision.'

'Shouldn't the Council know the position of all geysers?' Lith pondered how such a big colony might have escaped their attention for so long.

'Yes, but they pass the list solely to the Regional Rulers and we have no way to ask them about it without being questioned in turn. On top of that, don't forget that this isn't just Glemos' doing.

'If the project started millennia ago, then maybe a Tyrant found an unmarked geyser and took it for himself. If I'm right, we might stumble into a prize the likes you've never seen before.

'The treasure hoarded over thousands of years by an entire bloodline to fund their secret experiment and keep their riches away from the Council's grasp in the case it was discovered.

'We are talking about a Dragon cave kind of hoard.' Her eyes sparkled like those of someone who was talking about her true love and a radiant smile appeared on her face.

Lith shared her feelings and started to estimate the share of the treasure he was entitled to ask Morok since he would have never found his bloodline legacy without Lith's help.
