Supreme Magus novel Chapter 737

"Those things are the apex of enchanted automated weaponry, with no weak points nor vitals that one might exploit. Usually it takes a squad of well-trained people to take one down and Kulah was all made of metal, making it impossible to employ the standard anti-construct strategies.

"Consider that even though I destroyed as many Golems as he did..." Morok allowed himself some poetic license to keep their secrets safe. "... I still had my weapons, whereas he lost his blade at the beginning of the mission.

"That’s the bit of good news. The bad news is that I don’t think that you will be able to keep him in the military. He’s too good for you. I’ve seen his Forgemastered creations at work and they are masterpieces."

"I believe that Captain and Mage Ernas wouldn’t be alive without the enchanted armor that he gave them and his glove weapon is simply amazing. The Professors bickered like children to recruit him, so I doubt that the measly pay of an officer can be of any interest to him." Morok said.

"We’re aware of his talents as a Forgemaster, but normally soldiers exchange their merits for enchanted weapons. The army is the only organization that can provide high level equipment to its members based on their performance." Berion said.

"Well, there’s nothing ’normal’ about people like him or me." Morok shook his head.

"Your items have no allure for him. Even Royal Forgemasters admire his pieces. Money is pointless since he can just sell a couple of his prototypes and make more in one hour than you pay him in a year.

"Remember my words, if you don’t feed the bird, then don’t cry when it spreads its wings and leaves the nest. One last thing, I highly recommend Quylla Ernas for whatever position she applies to.

"She has opened Kulah’s door, killed more Golems than anyone else, besides Lith of course, and if she didn’t deactivate the Reactor, we wouldn’t be having this conversation."

"Do you really hold her in such high regard?" Berion asked. It was uncharacteristic of Ranger Eari to think about the best interest of the Kingdom rather than his own. It was one of the reasons why they weren’t fighting to keep him in their ranks.

He created almost as many problems as he resolved.

"I sure do. She’s a small but fiery woman. I think I’m in love." He said before leaving the Commander’s office, who quickly alerted Lady Ernas of the calamity that could reach her home at any moment.

Ernas Mansion

While hearing the story of their adventure in Kulah, Friya didn’t miss how things seemed to be kind of awkward between Lith and Quylla, whereas Phloria seemed to be a little too relaxed for someone who had just experienced the first major failure of her career.

All the Professors and some of their Assistants had died under her command. Odi or not, the six great academies were bound to not let it slide, with the risk of Phloria being punished or even demoted.

Even at the end of the story, after they told her how they had combined their strength to wipe the Odi off the face of Mogar, Quylla seemed to be more embarrassed than relieved to have survived such dramatic events.

Quylla had never lied to Friya before, so keeping Lith’s secret was already a burden to her. Plus, she had yet to make up her mind about their relationship. Being together in the same room forced her to confront her conflicting feelings, making her only wish to be out of there as soon as possible.
