The Innkeeper

Chapter 1565  Circles

Within the Castle tavern, Lex did not have an office, but there was a Great Hall. Located within the Great Hall was a seat of power, designed using Lex's tenet of supremacy. Anyone who sat on that chair, and had the authority over the tavern as dictated by the Innkeeper, would gain complete control over the tavern.

That control was not as simple as being aware of all the services within the tavern, or controlling its layout - although those were also possible. Lex had created the castle with the express intention of being able to survive the most dangerous of sieges, making it the toughest and most durable tavern yet.

Control over the castle meant that one could supply it with more energy, making it even more durable, or changing the way the defenses work, allowing it to survive various kinds of attacks. Of course, it also allowed one to make use of the weapons Lex had fit into the tavern itself.

Most likely before this expedition in Abaddon was over, he would make use of those weapons and features heavily. For now, though, the Great Hall just served as the venue where he and Kaemon could talk.

By now, the Magma Lion had stopped its bleeding, which meant it no longer dripped a boiling liquid, hot enough to boil an ocean, all over the tavern floor. It was for the best, really, since the smell of blood was not really as pleasant as the aroma wafting through the castle. Originally, Lex had meant to make the tavern smell like lilies. Instead, he had made it smell like fresh linen.
