Earth's Greatest Magus
chapter-1580

After leaving the Silvermane Planet and spending several days traveling through the hyperspace, the spaceship Emery and the others were on finally arrived in the orbit of their destination.

[Ouroboros]

[L class planet - High Realm]

Upon entering the planet's atmosphere, many small spherical objects approached their spaceship and guided them to fly just above the surface of the planet, navigating the terrain which was full of trees and swamps.

"Welcome home, Specter 1183."

When the spaceship successfully landed at the Ouroboros airstrip, the group was ready to disembark. As the steel door in front of him slowly opened, Emery couldn't help but feel anxious.

Annara told him he had to immediately return due to an urgent matter regarding Silva, but there were no details given as to its nature. Even now, Emery still had no idea what had happened to the serpent girl.

Nevertheless, thinking of the state she was in when he left 4 months ago, his imagination couldn't help but run wild with all kinds of speculation, most of which were bad.

The breezy wind and fresh air with a unique scent greeted Emery and the others as they walked out of the spaceship. While Emery and Annara were acting normal, the others, especially Tatyana, were particularly excited to see and experience this new, different sight.

"So this is where you lived the last few years, brother." She said as her eyes curiously looked around.

Smiling at the lively behavior of the brown-haired girl, Emery turned his gaze at Morgana. It was her first time traveling through space, after all.

She kept her facial expression calm, as if she didn't feel anything, but through their shared bond, he could clearly tell she shared the same anticipation and excitement as the fox girl.

Annara brought the group towards a certain building, where she gave a report on their arrival to a high-ranking officer and arranged for the three new people they brought over. After finishing all the procedures, they were provided with a flying vehicle to use for transportation within the planet.

With that, the group swiftly made their way through the bustling city, heading straight for the majestic castle in the distance – the Ouroboros Palace.

Their journey to the palace went without a hitch. After the vehicle landed safely and they stepped out, they were welcomed by Duke Syre, the grand magus brother of the Ouroboros Queen.

"I can see you have improved a lot these past few months."

Because of his worries, Emery didn't care to explain and went straight to the point. "Senior, what is it? What happened to Silva?"

The grand magus didn't say anything and was very hard to read, but Emery could notice there was a slight change in his expression, before he motioned for them to follow him and led them inside.

They did not go to the throne room. Instead, they were taken to the garden on the left wing of the palace. After walking through the long hallway and many guards, the Duke pointed in a certain direction, before he turned around and left the group alone.

Walking in the direction the man pointed at, Emery couldn't help being shocked when his eyes caught sight of her. The serpent girl Silva Ouroboros sat leisurely in a pavilion next to a pond.

As his eyes saw the girl, he didn't realize it would give him such a sense of relief.

While Emery was still stunned, Annara darted towards Silva and quickly held both of her hands.

"You have recovered? Haah what a relief!"

Silva answered with a smile and a small nod before Annara gave her a warm tight hug.

Emery was again stunned at such a sight. He knew the two of them had formed a bond, but had not expected how close they were. Once again, he was reminded of the years he had missed during his recovery.

After reciprocating the hug, Silva finally turned her eyes towards Emery. To his surprise, her gaze was able to make his heart skip a beat.

"You look as stupid as ever."

Her choice of words made Emery recall many of their past memories and a warm smile appeared on his face. However, before he could say anything back, the silver-haired girl looked at the three people behind him.

"And who are the friends you brought here?"

The conversation was quickly dominated by Annara as she casually and briefly introduced the three as Emery's pack of wolves. Throughout her talk, Emery had absolutely no chance to speak.

Even though there were three of them, Silva's gaze couldn't leave the red-haired girl that stood silently staring back. Eventually, when Annara finished her explanation, she said, "And who are you?"

There was suddenly silence for a few seconds before Morgana stepped in saying "I am Morgana, from Earth."

It was a short sentence, but filled with many words which seemed to spark some reactions from Silva. Surprisingly, Silva only glanced at Emery with a smile for a moment and approached Morgana as she said, "I know a girl from Earth, but never heard about you…"

Knowing exactly who it was, Morgana responded, "You mean that annoying, arrogant girl?"

"Yes… yes… exactly. What an accurate description."

Emery couldn't help but feel something was odd when he saw the two of them chuckle together. After all, he understood very well that Morgana was not easy to communicate with, especially with people she didn't know. As for Silva, from his memory he had about the girl, she had an even worse track record.

However, this was not the time for him to pay attention to such matters. What he really wanted to know right now was how she had managed to recover, or whether she had actually recovered.

Emery was finally about to ask the question, when once again he was interrupted by one of the palace maids who had arrived.

"Princess, the dinner is ready."

It turned out that knowing the group would be coming, Silva had prepared a welcoming banquet for them.

Andrei and Tatyana gladly accepted the invitation, as they did not have proper food during their journey on the spaceship. As for Morgana, food was probably her favorite thing after Emery. The only one who wasn't too happy about the banquet was probably Emery.

The group was immediately taken to a richly decorated and furnished hall. What caught the group's attention was the long table that stood in the middle of the room, filled with delicious dishes and drinks.

What followed was a very enjoyable dinner as if they were old friends who had been reunited.

As they enjoyed the food and drink, conversation started to happen naturally. In particular, Silva was very interested to hear about their journey and it seemed Emery couldn't hide anything even if he wanted to.

Annara was very thorough in her story, recounting everything that happened to the best of her ability. However, what surprised Emery even more was when Silva managed to get Morgana to spill something the bat girl missed.

"Silvermane King… let me guess… The moron rejected it, didn't he?" She commented, to which Morganna nodded. "I figured."

Not wanting to spoil the mood with his serious questions, Emery decided to let them have their fun and to save his questions for later. Being a good host, after dinner, Silva told them to take a break from their journey, saying she had prepared a room for each of them.

The group was led to their rooms by maids with their stomachs full, except for Emery.

Finally, in the palace grounds, under a sky filled with twinkling stars, Emery had his chance to approach the serpent girl.

But once again, she interrupted him saying, "What good companions you have there, Emery… Good for you." Her eyes looked up at the sky as she said, "That Morgana, she sure is beautiful… She's your Luna mate, right?"

Unwilling to let her distracted him with other subjects, Emery ignored her words and directly inquired about her treatment and condition. Silence ensued for a few moments, she then finally turned towards him, a smile on her face as she spoke.

"I haven't fully recovered yet, but I'm fine now… I heard I have you to thank for."

Seeing Emery's expression of not being completely convinced, she chuckled.

"Thank you for your concern… But if you really wish to know, let us visit the facility tomorrow. So, have a good rest for today."

Giving Emery no room to say anything, Silva turned and left.

It was indeed a big relief to hear such news. Being an apothecary apprentice himself, Emery was certainly interested to see her condition for himself. He also wanted to know more about his new bloodline genes. Hopefully, Bob would give him more information about what happened.
