Supreme Magus novel Chapter 991

Chapter 991 Questions and Answers Part 1

"Even though Lith Verhen had no master, he achieved more than most of our apprentices. How many twenty years old Awakened you know capable of killing an old fox like Gaaron? He belongs to the Council. He just needs guidance."

Jiza Gernoff’s words surprised Lith and made him understand that she was actually his second defense counsel.

"Intriguing!" Inxialot’s eyes lit up as his greed overshadowed even the red light of undeath. "To accept such a claim as proof, we have to first examine said equipment. Give his belongings to me."

The King of Liches extended his skeletal hand toward Faluel, who didn’t budge.

"A mage’s secrets are sacred. Lith made the armor and the rings himself, while the sword is my gift for his apprenticeship." She said giving him a plausible excuse for War. "Stealing both his and my workings isn’t within the purview of this court."

"All in favor to extend our investigation for the greater good?" Inxialot raised his hand, glad for the first time since he had been chosen as a representative to be part of the Council.

Yet only Lotho the Treant raised his hand along with him, making the Lich swear in many languages, both modern and ancient.

Raagu didn’t oppose Lith joining the beasts just to share the secrets of his magic with everyone else. She wanted to keep them for the humans’ side of the Council and mostly for herself.

Feela was on Faluel’s side, and even though she knew little about Lith, beasts looked after their own.

As for Leegaain, he was against the trial from the beginning. It was exactly because he didn’t like to mess with other people’s free will that he stayed out of the Empire’s business. In his opinion, Lith was free to join any faction of his choosing.

On top of that, he wanted to keep Solus’s existence a secret. Leegaain not only wanted Menadion’s Desperation to have all the happiness she could get, but also to observe how her bond with the anomaly affected his growth.

So far, Lith was the only hybrid whose different natures harmonized instead of clashing against each other. The Guardian hoped that by studying Lith, he could find a cure for his daughter, Zoreth.

"Motion denied. All in favor to move on the next item on our agenda?" Raagu said, and the Council approved unanimously. Once again, the undead who spectated the trial cursed themselves for the lack of judgment of their representative.

"Very well. Awakened Verhen, welcome to the Council." Feela beat Raagu to the punch and applauded him first, forcing the others to follow. "Now the only matter at hand is determining who is more suited to nurture your talent and guide your first steps in our society."

The Behemoth then turned to Raagu.

"By what right do humans interfere with our fellow Awakened’s life? Your own defense counsel has admitted that you provided Lith with nothing but threats." Feela pushed a button on her Council amulet, making it replay the speech Jiza had earlier given Lith about loyalty.

"It’s us beasts who offered him our friendship first, and then our guidance whenever Verhen needed it. The sword he carries is proof of our bond. He’s an adult, responsible mage who has already made his choice. You should respect it."

Raagu clenched her temples while staring at Jiza with such fury that if glares could kill, it wouldn’t remain enough of her corpse to fit into a plate.

"Always record everything when on official duty." Faluel returned the bow. _{freёwebnovel.com}
