Supreme Magus - Chapter 591

Chapter 591
"I can believe my memories gave him an edge, but knowing and doing are two different things . Where did you find the mana crystals to make those things? They seem to be made with true magic . "





Lith projected one of his little brother's favorites fairy tales to keep the children busy .

"As I already told you, after almost dying by the Valor's hands and receiving your memories, I understood how lacking my magical knowledge was . As soon as Selia and I settled down in our new home, I searched for a teacher . " Protector said .

"Just like humans, beasts too don't spread the secret of Awakening unless it's strictly necessary to keep the balance among the races . The law is very strict, you can't even Awaken your own children if you aren't willing to put your life on the line for them . "

"What do you mean?" Lith had no notion of the social rules among the Awakened ones .

"You are responsible for those you share our secret with . If your disciple breaks any law, you pay the consequences along with them . Since Awakened ones have a long life, only after a century the bond between master and apprentice is considered broken .

"It's never hard to know who gifted who with Awakening, since no one gives such a gift freely . Also, when the Council captures a criminal, they can be very persuasive . "

Ryman's words made Lith think that Jirni would feel at home in the Council .

"Don't you want to be Awakened, Selia?" Lith asked .

"Honestly, I don't know . I prefer a good life to a long one . Not to mention that I should start to study magic and I never had a good relationship with books . I don't know how long Ryman has left to live .





"To me, outliving both my husband and children is a fate worse than death . " She ruffled the kids' hair . They were two little angels now that they had stopped destroying the house and she wasn't forced to chase them around .

"Unlike humans, however, we don't hide our identity . I found my master, Faluel the Hydra, simply by asking the magical beasts of the Distar Marquisate for directions . Convincing her to teach me wasn't easy .

"A disciple takes a lot of time and effort . Being an Awakened isn't enough to be accepted by a master . You have to prove to be reliable, talented and to have an affinity with your future teacher . Because of your influence, I was interested in learning about healing and forgemastering .

"I had to prove my worth by doing all kinds of jobs for her for almost a year before she took me in . "

"A year? I wouldn't have lasted that long . During that time, I completed half of my studies and I've made a lot of connections within human society . " Lith said .

"An Emperor Beast wouldn't have taken you anyway . Back then, you were just a human . Even Scarlett considered you a dangerous anomaly . Faluel would have probably chased you away, if not worse . " Ryman shook his head .

Selia was more interested in Lith's light show than in all that talk about Awakened and Lith's nature, which made him wonder .


To Selia, Lith asked: "What did he tell you about me, exactly?"





"After the scare he gave me with Lilia, I gave him only one condition if he wanted us to get back together . I demanded that there wouldn't be any more secrets between us .

"He told me all about himself, but he only told me about you what he needed for his story to make sense . I'm fine with it and I never pried further . He never shared with me your secrets aside from you being an Awakened, how the two of you met, and what you did together .

"Your parents are almost of my same age . We grew together in Lutia, so there's no chance one of them is an Emperor Beast . They would have never let one of their children suffer from hunger or illness as Tista did .

"I'm really curious, but if you don't want to tell, it's fine . Just consider that you are unlikely to find someone as open minded as me . " Selia said pointing at Ryman .

Lith hesitated, not knowing to which one of his two hearts he should listen to . On one hand, he was certain that Selia wouldn't be too shocked if he decided to show her his hybrid form .

With an Emperor Beast for a husband and two little shapeshifting wrecking balls born from their love, she had proven to have an inhuman tolerance for weirdness . Yet they hadn't seen each other in a long time .

She had helped him a lot before he entered the White Griffon, but they had never got that close . He had never willingly revealed his hybrid nature elf to anyone except for Phloria .

Showing it to Selia before than to his family or Kamila, made him feel bad about himself .

"Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass . For now . " Lith said .





Selia dismissed the issue with a shrug and fell asleep shortly after . Her body was aptly trained to rest as soon as the kids allowed her to .

"What kind of jobs did Faluel ask you to do?"

"Many things . I had to kill rogue magical beasts, human hunters that kept harming her forest, and sometimes even deal with Abominations . "

"It sounds like she was making you do her job for her . " Lith said .

"Mostly, yes . Each task was actually a test to see if I could be trusted with more power . Not all of those she pointed me at deserved to die . Humans are more complex than beasts . They are so grey that most of the time is really hard to tell if they are bad or just desperate . "

Lith had the impression that Protector was now talking about him .

"After winter has passed, come find me . I'll introduce Faluel to you . She seemed to be very interested in your Wyrmling form and she is an invaluable teacher . Even with your memories, I wouldn't have been able to do any of this without her help . She provided me both the materials and the mana crystals . "

Protector pointed at all the forgemastered marvels furnishing his house .

"What's a Wyrmling?" Lith asked . It wasn't the first time he heard that term .

"A hybrid between one of the draconic species and something else . She thinks you are one of them because of your scales and because you can use Dragon Fire . " Protector replied .

"I can use what now?"

"Maybe you know them as Origin Flames . You know, the fire you breathe from your mouth? Not everyone can use them, which makes them special . "

"Do you know why?" Lith couldn't believe his luck . He might have found a proper Awakened teacher and learn about Origin Flames, all in one day .

"Sorry, no . Not even Faluel can use them, so the first time she mentioned them to me was before sending me to Zantia . "

Lith spent the night at Ryman's home . He studied the pseudo cores of Ryman's creations to appreciate the difference between his own results as self-taught with those of someone who had a master .

'It seems I'm really talented for Forgemastering . My work is in no way inferior to Protector's . ' He thought .

Before leaving, he exchanged communication runes with Protector and Selia . He also gifted some of his toys to the kids . He had prepared a new set of fairy tales projectors and miniature models .

They were shaped like mages and magical beasts and could emit light of different colors as if they cast different spells . Lith could always make more and Selia needed a way to keep them busy when Ryman was away .
