Damn, even knowing that it was basically going to use Erik to reproduce, turning him into another biological supercomputer upon his death would have made anyone say it was parasitizing him, and yet…
Yet Erik didn't feel parasitized at all; on the contrary, he felt like he was taking advantage of the biological supercomputer.
The problem was that if Lucius used that word instead of something else; it meant he knew something.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Exactly what I said," Lucius paused for a second. Whether to catch his breath, think, or simply take strength, Erik didn't know.
"Based on what your friends said, you know I went on the Mur Continent. I bet you also talked to Armand, and he likely said I went there on my own choice."
"He did."
