"What guardian king? There's no such thing and I have no special power!" Trion half said and half whined.
"Don't say that, kid!" Bromann sternly waved his finger under Trion's nose. "If people hear you, you'll ruin Zekell's business."
Bromann's angry façade crumbled as everyone started laughing.
"Oh, exalted one, we submit to your glory." Rizel mock-venerated Trion with ample movements of his arms. "We also expect you to pay for our drinks since you are a god and stuff. We mortals wouldn't dare offend you."
"What about the food?" Asked an indignant Khars asked. "We can't drink beer without meaty and salty snacks!"
"Pay it out of your pocket or I will make you." Raaz mock-glared at his friend. "My son is the guardian deity of the East, not of freeloaders!"
More laughter ensued.
When they reached Lutia and people started to beg Trion for his protection and blessing, he silently begged Mogar to swallow him whole.
"This is so embarrassing! He thought. I always envied Lith but now that I'm under the spotlight, I want to go back to being a nobody. How the heck does he deal with this madness while making it look so easy?'

Lith reached Lutia last while staying incognito.
Everyone expected to see him fly on his wings, with his seven eyes open, or at least wearing his Supreme Magus robe so no one paid attention to a tall farmer.
'I guess it's true that the clothes make the man.' He thought while greeting the original citizens of Lutia who recognized him and welcomed him back without using his name to let him have his privacy.
Having to remain close enough to all his Demons at the same time not to restrict their movements, Lith sat at a small family restaurant on the outskirts of the city, far away from the temple of the All-Father.
'All in all, this new Lutia is a nightmare. He inwardly grunted. The crowd, the traffic, the noise, and even plenty of guards!"
He saw pairs of soldiers patrolling the area, their enchanted spears shining under the sunlight in a silent threat. The three squads of the Queen's Corps weren't enough to protect Lutia anymore.
They kept following and protecting those like Zekell who had a tight connection with Lith but everyone else was now on their own. Lutia's crime rate was still low, but the
city was no longer known as "the Graveyard". fгeewebnovёl.com
Things like muggings, burglaries, and petty crimes had become sadly common. Organized crime gave Lutia a wide berth because magical beasts, undead, and a fiery-tempered Magus, all with a license to kill, were very bad for business.
"What can I get you?" Asked a middle-aged woman with a gentle face.
"The house specialty, thank you." Lith had already eaten, but with his real size a human serving was but crumbs.
"Can I bring you something to drink?"
