Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3760

Chapter 3760: Two Kings (Part 1)

"Are you having twins like Aunt Quylla’s or triplets like Sis Rena’s?" Aran asked. "Why didn’t you wait for Bodya to share the news with us?"

"I’m not pregnant!" Tista blushed wildly once she realized the misunderstanding. "I was talking about... female parts."

"Ah, you mean breasts." Aran said in disappointment. "I’ll never understand why everyone makes a huge fuss about them."

"You will, son, you will." Raaz patted Aran’s shoulder. "Give yourself time."

While the male side of the table placed bets on the when and who would draw Aran’s eye on that fateful day, the female side glared at their respective companions.

"I don’t understand it either." Leria observed the tension in the room in confusion. "Maybe, when I grow up, we can solve this mystery together, Aran."

"Oh, no, you won’t!" Rena snarled like a lioness, scaring both children. "I mean, don’t worry, pumpkin. It will all be clear in due time."

A few minutes and a double serving of ice cream with cookies to bury the follow-up questions under a groaning stomach, Lith felt that something had changed inside the tower.

"Finally! I can’t believe it took so long." A snap of his fingers Warped him, Solus, Kamila, Ripha, Silverwing, and Baba Yaga to the Thievery.

"What did you expect?" Solus clicked her tongue. "We are talking about a Ruler of the Flames class artifact, and you always prioritize the Spark. It hogs most of the power, leaving only the scraps for the Thievery."

"About that..." The white cores stared at Menadion in annoyance.

"Not this again!" Ripha rolled her eyes. "I’ve already said I’m sorry countless times. The floor already exists, and what’s done is done. Give it a rest, girls."

"About that..." Baba Yaga’s and Silverwing’s eyes narrowed.

"Please?" Solus unleashed her puppy eyes technique. "For me?"

"Fine." The two white cores grunted but dropped the subject.

"Thanks, Malyshka. Thanks, Aunt Loka!" Solus hugged them in turns. "We can’t wait to share it with you."

"Share?" They echoed in unison, starting to feel annoyed by their prolonged synchrony.

"Share." Lith nodded. "This is something worthy of a Ruler of the Flames, and it has no value to us. Not with the Eyes of Menadion at our disposal."

He waved at the artifact he had taken as spoils of war from the Verendi Awakened who had tried to kill Elina. The goggles doubled Life Vision’s range without side effects and could double it again in exchange for losing the resolution of runes.

An Awakened could still tell the power and elements of a spell or an enchantment, but would have no idea of its purpose.

"Why don’t you pass it as yours?" Silverwing asked. "You would become a Ruler of the Flames and earn massive profits."

"For several reasons, the first of which is our pride as Forgemasters." Lith said. "If Solus and I ever become a Ruler of the Flames, it will be because we created something great and shared it. Stealing is cheap and humiliating."

"I couldn’t agree more." Solus brimmed with pride while her mother mumbled gloomily. "Also, the real inventor could come forward and call us thieves and frauds. We checked. The guy is still alive and selling the goggles for a fortune a pop."
