Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2927

Chapter 2927 Lies and Truth (Part 1)

'After a Dragon's scale is shed, a new one grows from the same root, using the mana conductivity reached by the old scale as its starting point. This way, the new scale develops an increased mana capacity and durability, strengthening a Dragon's, or in your case a Tiamat's, natural defense with every cycle.' Leegaain said via the mind link.

'Thanks, and get out of my head, please?' Lith didn't like the intrusion but he didn't dare challenge the Guardian of Wisdom in his own home. Also, disrespecting Leegaain while he was teaching Lith something about his own bloodline was beyond stupid.

'You are welcome and no can do. You are in my turf and you share my blood, child. From this up close, I'd need to willingly shut you out and we are not on so friendly terms that I can trust you too much. By the way, who taught you Dragontongue?'

'Grandma.' Lith glossed over the fact that he only knew the words for Dad, those that Valeron used from time to time, and "Where is the bathroom" since it was the first one he learned back on Earth whenever he tackled a new language.

Salaark had furrowed her brows at his odd and specific request but she had granted it anyway. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

The Divine Beasts stopped kneeling in front of the child and Lith handed Valeron to Leari who was the closest one to them. Then, while the baby was distracted, Lith walked in front of Protheus.

In his human form, the Father of all Doppelgangers had Thrud's silver eyes, Jormun's emerald hair, and bore a semblance to both of them that made Lith struggle between conjuring Ragnar?k to his hand and apologizing.

'Do your thing but keep it brief. If Valeron uses Life Vision, we'll break his heart.' Lith's eyes narrowed in spite.

Spite for Doppelg?nger but also himself for what they were about to do. Protheus nodded and after walking behind a corner, he shapeshifted into Jormun's form. He was now an exact copy of the late Emerald Dragon, even the smell was identical.

Only the energy signature could reveal the truth.

Leegaain summoned the handmaidens, making them walk to Protheus' side to keep the baby distracted and make sure that the fa?ade would hold.

The Guardian too hated lying to Valeron, but the truth would lead to lots of pain and more lies. He couldn't tell the baby boy that his foster father had killed his biological father without destroying the bond between them.

Leegaain couldn't explain the circumstances of Thrud's death either unless he wanted Valeron to grow up feeling responsible for his mother's madness and the death of hundreds of thousands of innocents.

The Dragon blood that flowed in Valeron's and Elysia's veins made them smarter and gave them a peerless memory compared to normal children but it also deprived them of the blessing of oblivion that their young age usually ensured.

"Em'har!" Protheus/Jormun said while extending his arms.

"Dya! Dya!" The baby boy struggled to get free from the embrace of the Thunderborne and reach his father. "Dad!"

"I missed you so much." Protheus shed tears that he had to wipe off before they fell off his face and turned back into the gelatine that they actually were. "Have you been a good child? Is godfather Lith treating you well?"

"Lò. Yes." Valeron nodded, alternating between Dragontongue and human language.
