Supreme Magus novel Chapter 905

Chapter 905 Meet Solus Part 1

Belius’s Warp Gate led Lith to Derios, the capital city of the Distar Marquisate and from there reaching Protector’s home took him just a few minutes.

The moment Lith saw it, nostalgia almost broke his heart. His old friend had shaped his own house as an almost perfect replica of Lith’s. It was a lovely two-story cottage entirely made of stone with a spacious yard overlooking the Trawn woods.

He almost expected Elina to open the door and welcome him home. Selia’s reaction, however, didn’t differ much from what his mother would do.

"Oh, Lith! I’ll never understand why beasts call you Scourge. You should be named Bearer of Gifts." She pulled him down with a strength and an enthusiasm that surprised him quite a bit.

She kissed him on the forehead and both cheeks before giving him a huge hug.

"I beg your pardon?" Lith was still processing the situation, whereas Solus was laughing her ass off.

’Well, oh great Dark Lord, you just need to trick a powerful Forgemaster to craft a few power rings to deserve such title. Should I get jealous?’ She thought.

’Been there, done that. Am I not wearing the legacy of the greatest Forgemaster on Mogar on my finger along with her heir, oh Bright Lord?’ He replied.

"Thanks to you, my life has never been easier." Selia said. "Come in. We’re about to have breakfast, feel free to join us."

Lith understood what she meant only when he entered the living room. Sitting at the rectangular table there were Ryman, Nalrond, Lilian, Leran, and a floating crib made of hard-light near Selia’s chair.

Judging from the giggles and child noises it emitted, Lith guessed that it was filled with the new member of the family. Several constructs shaped like small fish swam in the air in front of the crib, keeping the child entertained.

At a wave of Selia’s hand, the cradle floated between her hands.

"Guys, you all know uncle Lith. Uncle Lith, meet the little Fenrir. We named her after Faluel because of all the help she gave me with childbirth and because she offered to be my daughter’s scaly godmother." Selia offered him the barely eight months child with pride.

Lith smiled while rocking the baby between his arms, even though to him all newborns were equally ugly and annoying.

"It seems you did a great job, Selia. She’s a healthy child." Lith performed a full check-up out of habit.

"This time I can’t take the full credit. If not for Faluel, things could have gone badly." Selia said, making Protector turn pale. "We’ll talk about this later, I don’t want to upset the kids."

"Hey, I’m not a kid, I’m the breadwinner." He grumbled.

"Yeah, right. You’re a big bad wolf that has no trouble hunting down monsters yet you faint at the sight of a little blood." She chuckled.

"It’s a completely different matter! I’m a good Healer but you are my wife. I was afraid of losing both..."

"As I said, I don’t want to upset the kids." She placed her forefinger on Ryman’s lips, hushing him.

Lilia and Leran were staring at their father with their little faces full of curiosity. Ryman could see all the questions about Selia’s health and where babies come from that were starting to form in their young brains because of him.

"It’s always a pleasure to have you here, Lith. Did you bring new toys for the kids?" He said, grateful to the gods for the children’s short attention span.

"You’ll get your new toys only after finishing breakfast. Show some respect for all the hard work your Mom put into preparing your meal." He ignored their screams of outrage, making a new spoon appear in their hands. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}
