Supreme Magus - Chapter 409

Chapter 409: 409






"Is there anything I can do for you before leaving?" The officer asked .

"Yes, thank you . How do I reach a place called Velorian?"

"Your lady friend has good taste . It's one of the best restaurants on Elm Street, right beside its Gate . " The man replied with a smirk .

"How do you know I have a lady friend and about her taste?"

"It's a place popular among young couples . Also, the closer a building is to a Gate the more expensive it is . " The officer pointed at the dimensional door standing in front of Lith's living quarters .

The word "expensive" made Lith's wallet bleed .

"I also need clothes . Do you have any recommendations?" There were two things Lith deeply regretted about having left the White Griffon academy . It's all you can eat free restaurant and not needing any clothes aside his Associate Professor's uniform to hit on women .

Wearing one was enough to be treated as a VIP in any establishment of the Distar Marquisate .





"I don't know your taste or budget, but if you go to Silk Road, you'll find what you need . "

Lith thanked the officer before checking if the door of the mansion opened with his own badge too . He just peeked inside out of curiosity, there was so much to do and so little time to do it .

The ground floor of the house resembled a penthouse from a five star hotel . The furniture was made of high-quality materials, but its design wasn't ostentatious . On Lith's right, there was a large living room with several couches and armchairs arranged around a tea table .

On his left, there was a study room with a solid wood desk . The walls were covered by bookshelves filled with books about every topic but magic . Behind the only closed door there was a bathroom equipped with all comforts .

Lith left the house, heading to Elm Street . On his way there, he noticed how people would look at him in a funny way . Most would step to the side to let him pass, a few would cross the road to avoid him .

'Solus, am I showing my old serial killer frown again?' He asked after a mother dragged her children on the other side of the street .

'No . You look tired and in a bad mood, but no more than usual . '

Lith shrugged and walked through the Gate . One of the things he had learned back on Earth, was to never bring a woman to an unknown place . His focus would be split between his surroundings and his date, making him look distant .





On Mogar it was even worse . Not knowing the menu or the prices could lead to embarrassing moments . Lith had a short temper if the food was bad, overpriced, or both .

The Velorian was on the ground floor, its door open . The receptionist was a middle aged man in livery with black receding hair .

"Is there something wrong, Ranger?" The man started sweating bullets at Lith's appearance .

"No, I just heard about this place and I would like to take a look if it's not a bother . "


"All the members of the King's army are welcome here . " The man sighed in relief while dabbing the sweat with his handkerchief . According to the tag on the breast pocket, his name was Xilo .

After scouting the place, Lith asked for a menu . As he feared, he knew very few dishes and the ingredients weren't listed along with their names . Xilo helped him decipher the menu and even suggested some specialties that a man from the south was bound to enjoy .

"Is there a dress code for the restaurant?" Lith was happy to have come alone first . Despite Phloria's best efforts, he was still a cheapskate . Based on the receptionist's embarrassment, the prices had made Lith's poker face crumble more than once .





"None, but our customers would surely appreciate the lack of uniforms in the room . "

"Meaning?" Feeling disrespected, Lith's expression turned stone cold .

"I'm sorry, it came out wrong . You are a foreigner, sir, so you are unaware of our customs . Belius is surrounded by enemies which makes us quite nervous . Seeing a soldier usually means troubles . Spies, terrorists, a lost city out of control .

"Only the gods know how many emergencies happen each year . Hence your uniform would ruin everyone's mood . "

Lith understood why earlier the people looked so scared and flexed his shoulders . His clothes shapeshifted into his gala suit . The only other clothes stored in the Skinwalker armor were those he wore back in Lutia . It was better to be overdressed than looking like a country bumpkin .

Xilo yelped in surprise . He couldn't believe that someone who could afford a Skinwalker armor and that kind of suit was also capable of being shocked by their honest fares .

Lith went to the Silk Road, ordering a few tailor-made suits, jackets, and shirts . He then rented a few clothes to put together a smart casual suit for the evening . Thanks to the armor, they would look like they were tailor-made anyway .

Gorgon Empire, Leegaain quarters .

"Are you sure about it?" Leegaain asked . After hearing Tyris's story about the events unfolded in Kaduria, he now regretted missing the show .

"As sure as the sun will rise again tomorrow . " She replied .

"The anomaly used dragon fire twice . If he keeps passing his world tribulations, you'll have to change your title to 'father of most dragons' . "

"Like I care . " He scoffed at the idea . "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness . It's you who should be worried . A single country is too small for two Guardians . "

"I'm not going to kill him just because of what he could become . " Tyris shook her head .

"Even if that could mean the end of the Griffon Kingdom? When two Guardians fight…"

"Maps get redrawn . " She completed the ancient proverb for him .

"He may be a piece of work, but I believe Mogar chose him for a reason . I will not stand in the way of change . Besides, we have a date tomorrow . Who knows, maybe we'll reach a compromise . "
