Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3221

Chapter 3221 Greed of Dragons (Part 2)

"No, that's reasonable." He replied. "I didn't blackmail Lith or demand anything. I just asked."

"You-"

"I don't mind." Lith cut the quarrel short. "Having three more white cores is more than I could hope for."

"Three white cores and lots of Griffons and Dragons." Surtr tutted before Lith could even ask for more helpers. "I'll ask our children for help but I won't allow anyone with less than a bright violet core to participate."

"Dear!" Rethia didn't like the idea one bit.

"This is a family matter." Surtr dismissed her objection with a curt wave of his hand. "If it was you instead of Solus, do you think our children would stay still? That I wouldn't ask Lith to bring Elysia, were she old enough to fight?

"Besides, do you really expect that our older children will just stay there and watch their parents risk their lives? This way we can at least know in advance who comes with us and instruct them of the danger.

"If we don't, they are going to follow us anyway but without being aware of our battle plan. The kids would end up endangering themselves and forcing us to rescue them at the cost of disrupting our battle formation.

"It would cripple the rescue mission's odds of success."

"Surtr is right." Valtak stopped Rethia before she could object. "I know that many Fire Dragons will come just to protect me. Even without the reward, my children who love me and the members of my bloodline who owe me won't refuse their help.

"They won't do it for Lith or Solus, but for me."

"I won't allow you to come, Valtak." Lith said. "You are old and there's little left of your life force. You would be exhausted after breathing Origin Flames a few times."

"Then, I'll make those few times count." Valtak snorted smoke from his nostrils. "You can't tell me what to do with my life, hatchling. Besides, my presence makes the difference between a handful of Fire Dragons and a whole greed of them."

"Greed?" Elina echoed.

"Lions assemble in prides, crows in murders, Dragons have greeds." Valtak shrugged.

On the one hand, Lith knew he needed all the help he could get. On the other hand, he didn't want to see the Elder Wyrm consume what was left of his life force on the battlefield.

"Why are you doing this? We haven't met for long and I'm not even the next Father of Fire."

"Because I want to and because you might be the next Father of Fire." Valtak replied.

The truth was that ever since Solus' disappearance, the Elder Wyrm had the nagging feeling that something terrible was going to happen. The Father of Fire had no memory of his vision in the Mindscape but he knew that only he could stop it.
