Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2855

Chapter 2855 Nidhogg’s Nest (Part 1)

"No, it's worse. Here's the plans for Lith's marriage with Phloria." Tista projected a hologram depicting a small, intimate ceremony in an old version of the Verhen House, making Lith's stomach churn.

"This instead is about the marriage with Faluel." The images now showed a tacky, grandiose celebration taking place inside the Hydra's lair, surrounded by piles of gold and precious gems. "Then there was Peonia-"

"Enough. We got the gist of it." Tista had just started to project a wedding ceremony in the Throne Room when Lith stopped her. "Good gods, it's even worse than I thought."

"You mean you didn't know?" Kamila was surprised and offended at the same time.

Surprised because Lith seemed to have been as oblivious as her and offended because there was no trace of a plan for their marriage.

"No, and I was happier that way." Lith sighed. "The only time my parents tried to involve me in their madness was when they planned for our marriage that was supposed to take place after our third anniversary."

"They were planning our marriage?" Kamila's face lit up with joy for almost one second before her smile got turned upside down. "Wait. How dare you call it madness?"

"Because they didn't give a farm about my consent." Lith replied. "I wasn't planning anything because neither you nor them knew about Solus and it wasn't fair to you popping out the question without telling you the truth first.

"We all know how it ended up when I did."

"Right." Kamila nodded, her face back to a neutral expression as she turned toward Tista. "Can I see those plans, please?"

"You need to be more specific." Tista replied. "What version?"

"There's more than one?"

"You bet. Our parents upgraded it the more lil bro here gained fame and money. Same when he brought Zinya to our home, you two took the kids to the magic training camp, and Lith opened up to you and you stayed with him."

Tista showed Kamila so many versions of her marriage that soon she was on cloud nine. She now loved Raaz and Elina more than ever and was also happy that none of those hypothetical ceremonies surpassed the real deal.

"Okay, great." Lith was eager to change the subject. "So, Bodya first, and then we go check on our allies. I'm curious to see how undead, monsters, and elves are faring and if they need a hand.

"After that, we can comfortably wait for the Gate to be finished and get back home as soon as it's done."

Lith hadn't forgotten about Sylpha's request to take out a lost city and the members of the first colonization party had been in Jiera for months. If there was a cursed object nearby, they were bound to know about it.

'I'm not going to waste time or risk my life for a secondary mission. If I can scan the power core from a distance with the Eyes of Menadion, I'll think about it. Otherwise I'll wash my hands and let the Guardians of Jiera dealing with this mess.'

While they discussed their plans for the immediate future, Solus used a combination of spells, arrays, and Sentries to check on their surroundings. The Sentries shared her mana sense and analysed everything that reflected on their glassy surface.

From there, returning to the Wayfinder required but a single Warp Steps thanks to the Home Stone Lith had entrusted to Friya before going to Yhen.
