Supreme Magus novel Chapter 982

Chapter 982 Cold War Part 2

"The Kingdom is blessed with four rejuvenators, yet none of them has been called for help. I can’t help but wonder if it’s because the Undead Courts already got what they wanted." Jirni said.

Her words instilled the doubt that Deirus’s side might hide several snakes in the grass. The Royals knew of the ongoing cold war between the Ernas and the Deirus, yet they couldn’t dismiss Jirni’s allegations lightly.

"We did call them, but they all belong to the White Griffon, Captain Ernas’s academy, and they refused to help." Headmistress Onia said once the Queen allowed her to speak. "Mage Verhen said..."

"Archmage Verhen." Sylpha corrected Onia and raised the pressure of the array so much that the Headmistress almost kissed the floor.

"Archmage Verhen said things I dare not to repeat in this hall. Marth and Vastor managed to restore the body of the only youth they accepted to visit, but claimed to be incapable of cleansing the venom. As for Manohar..."

"It’s mister Manohar to you." The Mad Professor corrected Onia and slammed her face on the floor with one of his constructs.

"Manohar!" The Royals rebuked him in unison. "The Headmistress is our honored guest and you’ll treat her with the respect she deserves."

"Isn’t that what I just did?" He sounded honestly confused.

"By the Great Mother." Meron clenched his temples that felt as if they were about to burst open such was the headache the god of healing gave him.

’Why every time I want him to be here, he’s absent whereas he never misses an audience when I want him out of my hair?’ The King thought.

’This man is a curse and a blessing at the same time.’ Sylpha replied.

"Why did you refuse to help them?" The Queen asked.

"Because even though I don’t like the old hag Ernas, I like that bunch of has-beens even less. I mean, unless we go down their family tree, their latest achievement is lighting their own farts, yet they act all high and..."

"Manohar!" The Royals cut him short.

"I mean, this lovely granny and I have our differences..." He pointed at Jirni, who couldn’t get angry since Gunyin had given her grandchildren for a few years now. "...but we respect each other, whereas I don’t even know those guys.

"I’ve got no obligation to help them, unless your Majesty orders me otherwise, of course." The god of healing gave the Royals a small bow, hoping for the best.

With each order the Royals gave him, one of his escapades would be pardoned. After clearing five branches of the Undead Courts and chasing Night out of the Kingdom, Manohar only needed a couple of pardons to get out of hot waters.

"Not yet. The Balkor department and all academies are studying the new venom as we speak. They only need some time and luck to figure it out." Sylpha shook her head, making the nobles groan.

Manohar had recently returned. Giving him the means to safely run away again was a terrible idea.

After seeing how even the Mad Professor had sided with her, the members of the Royal Courts believed that in order to achieve her revenge, Jirni had agreed to work with Balkor. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}
