Supreme Magus novel Chapter 409

"Is there anything I can do for you before leaving?" The officer asked. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

"Yes, thank you. How do I reach a place called Velorian?"

"Your lady friend has good taste. It’s one of the best restaurants on Elm Street, right beside its Gate." The man replied with a smirk.

"How do you know I have a lady friend and about her taste?"

"It’s a place popular among young couples. Also, the closer a building is to a Gate the more expensive it is." The officer pointed at the dimensional door standing in front of Lith’s living quarters.

The word "expensive" made Lith’s wallet bleed.

"I also need clothes. Do you have any recommendations?" There were two things Lith deeply regretted about having left the White Griffon academy. It’s all you can eat free restaurant and not needing any clothes aside his Associate Professor’s uniform to hit on women.

Wearing one was enough to be treated as a VIP in any establishment of the Distar Marquisate.

"I don’t know your taste or budget, but if you go to Silk Road, you’ll find what you need."

Lith thanked the officer before checking if the door of the mansion opened with his own badge too. He just peeked inside out of curiosity, there was so much to do and so little time to do it.

The ground floor of the house resembled a penthouse from a five star hotel. The furniture was made of high-quality materials, but its design wasn’t ostentatious. On Lith’s right, there was a large living room with several couches and armchairs arranged around a tea table.

On his left, there was a study room with a solid wood desk. The walls were covered by bookshelves filled with books about every topic but magic. Behind the only closed door there was a bathroom equipped with all comforts.

Lith left the house, heading to Elm Street. On his way there, he noticed how people would look at him in a funny way. Most would step to the side to let him pass, a few would cross the road to avoid him.

’Solus, am I showing my old serial killer frown again?’ He asked after a mother dragged her children on the other side of the street.

’No. You look tired and in a bad mood, but no more than usual.’

Lith shrugged and walked through the Gate. One of the things he had learned back on Earth, was to never bring a woman to an unknown place. His focus would be split between his surroundings and his date, making him look distant.

On Mogar it was even worse. Not knowing the menu or the prices could lead to embarrassing moments. Lith had a short temper if the food was bad, overpriced, or both.

The Velorian was on the ground floor, its door open. The receptionist was a middle aged man in livery with black receding hair.

"Is there something wrong, Ranger?" The man started sweating bullets at Lith’s appearance.

"No, I just heard about this place and I would like to take a look if it’s not a bother."
