Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4171

Chapter 4171: Blue Gemstone (Part 2)

"What’s so dangerous about a Lich?" Salanoth shrugged.

"Maybe the fact that he built his own fortress here, you moron." The Black Throne replied. "We are talking about a Council Representative with infinite life and mana.

"Someone without a mage tower, yet with the means and wits to travel through space just like I did. Do you think you can fight someone of that caliber?"

"No." The Ring of Space gritted the teeth of her host.

"Did you try to explore further than the moon?" Uragar pointed at the distant stars.

"Yes, and I almost died for it." The cursed tower sighed. "I never realized that Mogar actually moves in space, not just on itself. Even worse, there is no world energy out there. Nothing but light and radiation.

"I managed to reenter Mogar’s aura just in time before my power core depleted, and I turned into space rubble. Yet I didn’t give up. I built probes, and I scattered them across the cosmos. That’s how I collected the information you can see in my orrery."

"What’s the point of doing that?" Salanoth asked.

"The probes are fueled by white crystals and have only two enchantments. Detection on Homing." The Black Throne replied. "They have no consciousness and no propulsion system, so they consume little energy.

"As they scatter, I collect more information without moving. Also, if any of the probes ever lands on a land with world energy, I can use it to open a Gate there. Or rather, that’s my hope.

"So far, I have found nothing but dead worlds. Mogar is a damn rare blue gemstone, kids."

"One more reason for giving our all." Jorl could feel the Life Maelstrom in the air resonate with that stored inside his body. "We need to train hard and learn the other Upyr abilities before Orpal. It’s our best shot at victory."

Lith’s birthday arrived, and the Frorls had yet to receive the sweet relief of the executioner’s ax.

To be precise, it was the day before Lith’s birthday. He always held two parties. One was a social event where he hosted the most important people of the Kingdom, and the other was a private celebration for his family and friends.

The gala associated with Lith’s birthday always took place the evening before the private party, so that at the stroke of midnight, the two events overlapped and both occurred on the correct date.

Lith and Kamila stood at the main entrance of the Mansion, welcoming their guests in order of arrival. He wore his high uniform under his Supreme Magus robe for the occasion.

It was comprised of a pristine white jacket with golden epaulets, mid-waisted white trousers with galon, a trim with two silk stripes to conceal the outer seams, and black shoes.

He wore a silver brooch shaped like his family crest on the collar of his white shirt, and the gold embroideries on the lapels of his jacket were shaped like feathers. They marked both his allegiance to the Griffon Kingdom and his nature as an evolved human.

The pristine white wings on his back further emphasized the point. This time, Lith avoided displaying his horns and extra eyes. The public was used to associate them with his Tiamat form, and he wanted his guests to focus on his Indech side.
