Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3905

Chapter 3905: Proper Order (Part 2)

"That’s possible." Rena pondered. "I sure would like to see if it affects me and my children in any way."

"Then let’s go." Urhen nodded. "There’s not a moment to lose."

Quylla Warped everyone to the closest branch of the Mage Association, and from there, they reached the Blood Desert, where the tower waited for them.

Yet Quylla blindfolded Urhen and had her walk aimlessly through the Heavenly Plume Oasis for a while before Warping her inside the Infirmary.

When the Balor took the blindfold off, she had no idea how many Steps it had taken to reach their destination and believed the research facility to be hidden deep inside the Desert Palace.

Kalla, Friya, Faluel, and Tista had left the room to give their guest space and not make her feel like a lab rat.

"Thank you for coming here, Urhen." Lith extended his hand, and she promptly shook it.

"Please, don’t thank me, Lord Verhen. It’s an honor-" The Balor almost squealed with joy when she saw Morok.

Yet the squeal died on her lips when she registered the presence of the crystal tank, the many cables connecting it to the floor, and the many holographic displays. The lack of windows and doors made the Infirmary look like a trap.

The crystal tank, instead, looked like a cage, and Urhen became afraid it was for her.

"What is this place and what is she doing here?" She asked while pointing at Baba Yaga.

"This is one of the Overlord’s secret labs." Lith replied. "Please, don’t tell anyone about anything you are about to see and hear here. If the wrong people learn about this place, my and Quylla’s research about human evolution will be at risk."

"You have my solemn oath." The Balor replied, reassured by the request.

’If Lith needs my silence, it means he intends to let me go.’ She inwardly added.

"Baba Yaga is here at my request." Quylla added. "My current patient is beyond my abilities and has no chance of survival without her help."

"She’s willing to help a stranger but not us?" Urhen was a Balor, but she knew Carana’s pain as her own.

"Yes." Baba Yaga replied curtly.

"What if I refuse to help unless you promise to assist Lady Quylla in undoing the trolls’ fall?"

"Then Quylla’s patient would die, and her research to cure your species would probably take much longer, child." The Red Mother scoffed. "I’m helping her, not the other way around. I have no obligation to do anything, and you are testing my patience."

"Our patient." Lith said. "Please, Urhen, I understand your feelings, but at least Carana’s people can have a normal life until a cure is found. My friend’s days, instead, are numbered."

"Really?" The Balor’s eyes widened, all six of them.

"Really." Lith nodded. "There is no time to bargain, and even if there was, I have nothing to offer Lady Yaga."

"I’m sorry for not mentioning she would work with us." Quylla replied. "But I couldn’t risk the senate wasting precious time squabbling or increasing the divide between Carana and the rest of the senate further.

"I need you to keep quiet about this, Urhen. The lab, the project, Baba Yaga, everything. One slip of your tongue and my credibility would be ruined."

"Please, do it for us." Morok said, and Lith nodded.

Urhen was torn between her loyalty to the senate and the debt of gratitude she felt toward Quylla and Morok. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
