Supreme Magus novel Chapter 531

Lith resumed his duty as a Ranger and since he had used most of his free days preparing for the gala and recovering from the clash with Tezka, his schedule was very busy.

Qinyu, Friya, and Quylla would have to wait for their turn before he could help them. Weeks passed and soon the entirety of the north was covered in snow.

Most of the time he was called to quell the riots caused by the lack of food in poor neighborhoods, or to discipline merchants who ignored the tiered food prices imposed by the Crown thanks to the support of local mercenary guilds.

The insides of Solus’s tower had been completely redecorated with the coat of arms Lith had chosen for his Household. It depicted a black and red dragon coiled around a tower. A magic staff and a sword were crossed below the tower.

Now it was embroidered on every carpet, curtain, and tapestry in every room.

\"You really have great taste in coat of arms.\" Solus was proud of her complete form standing proud in the middle.

\"Why the dragon? Is it because of what Phloria said?\" She asked feigning simple curiosity.

\"No. It’s because dragons are symbols of power while demons are a symbol of misfortune. I already have the reputation of being bad luck, there’s no reason to give more fuel to those rumors. Can you please remove some of the banners? I find them tacky.\"

\"How can you say that? I even mimicked the positioning they have inside house Ernas and you’ve always said their house is classy!\" Solus was outraged at being called tacky.

\"It’s classy because with so much space and high end furniture you can ignore those tacky coats of arms. Maybe it’s because you are a shorty that you don’t realize that the tower feels cramped with so much crap.\" He chuckled.

Ever since he had seen her light body after they merged for the second time, Solus had become sensitive about height issues. It had gotten even worse after Lith had grown so tall.

\"I’m not short, you insensitive jerk! I’m petite, there’s a big difference...\"

Lith’s army amulet interrupted their quarrel.

\"Ranger Verhen, what’s your status?\" Kamila’s voice was worried.

\"I’m still a bachelor, but who knows what the future holds?\"

\"I meant your position! There is a huge snowstorm approaching the spot of your last report.\"

\"Don’t worry, I’ve created an underground cave as shelter.\" He said as Solus warped them from Lutia back to the north and modified the appearance of the tower entrance to resemble an actual cave.

Lith gave Solus thumbs up for her excellent work and activated the hologram function.

\"How are you? Do you have enough food? The storm may last a few days.\" Kamila was relieved that the cave was deep enough she couldn’t even hear the wind.

\"I have plenty of food. Anything else?\"

\"Yes. As soon as the snowstorm ends, you’re expected in Jambel. They have a problem with a dungeon.\"

\"A dungeon? This time of the year?\" Lith didn’t bother to hide his disbelief. Unlike in Earth’s videogames, dungeons didn’t magically appear out of nowhere.

Monsters were chaotic and bloodthirsty creatures, unwilling to cooperate even with members of their own tribe, let alone with other species. Sometimes, however, a monster with great power and intellect was born.
