Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2971

Chapter 2971 Rescue Mission (Part 1)

The baby girl was happy to see her mother. All those big words and the repeated shapeshifting had worked her up an appetite. Elysia turned into a Tiamat for better mobility and went for Kamila's chest.

"Bad Elysia!" Kamila said as the baby pulled her shirt open, exposing her bosom.

"That's my girl!" Lith said with pride.

Ernas Household, a few hours later.

A regional holiday had been declared for the whole week to celebrate the news of Quylla's twins. Jirni and Orion had arranged for festivals to be held in every city and village, providing as much food as the recent end of the famine allowed for.

So Lith wasn't surprised when he walked through the private Gate of their mansion and found every wall, curtain, and piece of furniture decorated with blue and pink ribbons.

Even the portraits of Orion's ancestors wore one on the lapels of their painted jackets and their expressions looked more smug than usual.

'It's all in your head.' Solus said. 'I remember what they looked like and no one altered the paintings.'

'If you say so.' Seeing the usually polite and reserved house staff smile from ear to ear was so creepy that Lith pondered if Mogar had its own clown prince of crime who had filled the mansion with lethal laughing gas. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

When they reached Orion's Forgemastery lab, they almost couldn't recognize it. It was filled with cribs, blankets, and everything one would expect from a children's shop, not the research quarters of a powerful mage.

"Welcome, Lith! Hi, Solus!" Orion shoved a cigar in Lith's mouth, gifted a small bottle of perfume to Solus, and handed a glass of Dragon Water to both. "Come on in, we were just getting started."

"Hi, guys. Please, tell me you've come here on a rescue mission." Nalrond was in his Agni form.

He had three cigars in his maw and one bucket-sized glass filled with liquor in each clawed hand.

Orion was supposed to take Nalrond's new measurements for a new armor, but he had been otherwise occupied.

"What a guy! He has a killer sense of humor." Orion laughed, creeping everyone out. "Don't worry, we'll be done soon and you'll be free to go back to Friya."

The nudges and winks left no doubt that Orion was fishing for more grandchildren.

"Sort of." Lith had walked many miles in Nalrond's current shoes.

His parents had been pushy even before he met Kamila and only Elysia's birth had made them relent from their demands for grandchildren. For a while.

"I bring good news and lots of stuff." Lith opened his pocket dimension, dropping the materials from Nalrond's old Featherwalker armor that he had recycled with Creation Magic.

"Did you ask Salaark or…" Orion asked with greed.

Even the happiness of the moment couldn't make him forget his own personal war.

His lab was full of failed prototypes and the vaults of the Ernas Household were cluttered with old artifacts that Creation Magic could turn into materials for weapons of destruction.
