Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3220

Chapter 3220 Greed of Dragons (Part 1)

"The old World Tree kept multiple access points to every continent and combined them with the local Gate Networks to allow their Chroniclers to reach any place on Mogar quickly. The current Tree probably does the same."

"You must be right, Grandma." Lith nodded. "Now I can't see Solus' light anymore but I know she's alive. The Yggdrasill must have closed all access points to their Fringe for- Never mind, I can see her again."

"This is great." Silverwing rolled her eyes. "If we have to wait for the World Tree to open a specific access point long enough for you to track it down, it will take us a lot of time and luck. Can you tell which one is the closest to us at least?"

"No." Lith shook his head. "They open and close too quickly. The light gives me the general direction and the annoyance I feel should give me an estimate of the distance but I don't have the time to adjust before the access point collapses."

"Oh, gods." Silverwing held her head between her hands. "Now what?"

"Now we face one problem at a time." Lith replied. "Solus' position is irrelevant until we have put together a force powerful enough to give us a chance to save her. Zoreth?"

"You can count on Bytra and me for sure." The Shadow Dragon nodded. "I can ask the other core members of the Organization to help us and they surely will. Yet if we do, you must decide how much you want to reveal to them.

"They are not stupid. They'll understand Solus isn't just your relative, otherwise the Tree would have had no reason to kidnap her. You can choose not to tell them about the tower but if they look for a human woman, they'll ignore a stone ring."

"Point taken." Lith sighed while pondering the issue. "Valtak?"

"I'm fine, if that's what you're asking me." The Father of Fire released a powerful bright violet aura. "If you want to know how many Dragons I can muster, instead, I can ask the Brood for help, but they'll want something in return.

"On top of that, if you want any Dragon to move their scaly bottom, you'd better tell them that Solus is bound to some kind of priceless treasure."

"Why?" Everyone asked in unison.

"Because Dragon greed." Valtak shrugged. "There are many Wyrms I know who would call you incompetent and foolish for losing your treasure but there are many others who would help you retrieve it.

"No Dragon can suffer the thought of anyone robbing them and by helping you, they ensure that if they ever find themselves in your position, you'll return the favor."

"Point taken." Lith nodded. "What if we tell everyone Solus knows the location of the focus of my omni pocket? It would explain why the Tree kidnapped her and tried to kill me."

"A perfect blend of lies and truth." Zoreth replied. "It's a perfect cover, considering that the pocket dimension holds all your magical resources."

"Agreed, but what about the reward?" Valtak asked. "It must be good or no one will even consider helping you."

"Is this enough?" Lith took the Apprentice Ears of Menadion out of his dimensional amulet where Ragnar?k had stored it. "One piece of the legendary Menadion set as the bounty for my partner. Whoever saves her gets the prize."

"Good gods!" Many said in unison and the Ernas girls were among them.

Zoreth and Valtak looked at the helm with Dragon greed but Bytra's eyes shone with desire no less than theirs.
