Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3793

Chapter 3793: Old and New Problems (Part 2)

’On top of that, I can’t risk people sticking on the Train for the movie. It would defeat the purpose of the maiden voyage. The passengers must appreciate this new means of public transportation, not my magical skills.’

At the next station, a man took advantage of the stop to change cars and visit Lith.

"Supreme Magus Verhen?" He knocked on the wall of the open compartment.

"Yes? Is there any problem?"

"No!" The man raised his hands in apology. "Sorry to bother you. I just wanted to thank you for your service and ask for your autograph."

"Sure." Lith took a small piece of paper out of his pocket dimension and signed it twice.

Once with water magic, so that it could be read by human eyes, and the second time by hand. The latter was an irregular, smudged sequence of words worthy of a medical practitioner from Earth.

The man squinted his eyes and turned the paper for a while before he could recognize the words that comprised Lith’s full name.

"Thank you for sharing your secret code with me." The man gave Lith a deep bow. "I won’t betray your trust and treasure it deeply."

"What secret code?" Lith asked in confusion.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." The man winked and walked away, holding the paper as if it were a priceless treasure.

The moment he left, Tista, Kamila, and Solus burst into laughter.

"I know my penmanship isn’t great, but calling it a code is ridiculous." Lith grunted.

"I’m sure it’s none of your fault. Literacy is a weak point in the rural community." Brinja sighed. "I need to invest more in education."

"Here. Tell me if it’s that hard to read." Lith handed her another signed paper.

Brinja admired the calligraphy of the water magic and furrowed her brows while looking at the handwritten signature.

"Is this something I have to reflect in a mirror or hold upside down to read?" She tried doing both things, but she failed to crack the mystery.

"It’s a curse in the ancient runes of the Sorlon Empire." Ainz said. "I recognize them from-"

The deafening laughs from the other side of the compartment cut him short.

"It’s not a code, let alone runes!" Lith snarled. "It’s how I write my name!"

"Really?" Brinja stared at the piece of paper in amazement. "I mean, sure. It’s perfectly clear. Silly me for not noticing it immediately."

Another man came for an autograph, but this time Lith noticed a burn on his right hand.

"It’s nothing. It was an accident while I was working in the kitchen." He explained. "It’s a professional hazard for a cook."

"I see." When Lith handed the man the piece of paper, he felt a slight jolt passing through his fingers.

The burn disappeared, his headache faded, and his knees didn’t hurt anymore.

"Thank you very much." The man bowed so deeply that his head almost touched the ground.

"That was generous of you." Brinja said. "And unexpected."

"If someone with a stable job avoided seeing a Healer for so long, he must be saving his money for a really good reason." Lith replied. "Also, it gives me something to do. I’m bored."

"What do you mean..."

’I wonder if the mother is afraid of me, or if she just wants to avoid paying a Healer’s fare.’ He inwardly added.
