Chapter 339 – How to Block Mjolnir’s Lightning #5

The atmosphere with her was quite awkward due to the incident that happened when she almost bumped into her Delia and her lips.
While hesitating, Bella hurriedly took care of the situation.

“It’s not a kiss, so calm down Delia. We shouldn’t fight, should we start at work? Time is running out to make something called an obelisk in nine days.”
“Sir, I’m running out of time! As expected, Bella is my best friend! She tells me exactly what I want to say. Why don’t Luke follow Bella’s example?”
“I have nothing to say, so don’t turn your back on me.”
“Who spoke? Me? That’s absurd!”

Delia told me, fanning her red face with her hand.

“Luke oppa follows me to the lab. Because I have to build an obelisk with the lab staff. Our lab can make the basic skeleton of the obelisk and the decomposition magic circle. Luke oppa just needs to transform Orichalcum.”

Anyone can see that it was a change of topic, but it seems that Delia will scold her if she continued to argue.
I stopped teasing and asked Delia what she wanted to know.

“To transmute Orichalcum, we need to start with holy magic fusion experiments. Are the facilities necessary for the experiments in the laboratory? At least 30 wizards will be needed for fusion experiments.”
“Of course there is. It’s a laboratory in Ningard, so don’t you think there won’t be that much equipment? I can provide the equipment and wizards needed for the fusion experiment. The problem is that there are no nuns who can inject divine power into the magic circle for the experiment.”

Since Ninggard was a magical society, of course the nuns did not belong to it.
I had to urgently find nuns who would cooperate with the experiment, but it wasn’t difficult.

“You can ask Kate.”
“Kate…? Are you referring to the blonde-haired nun who is her brother’s lover? She’s not enough with just one person. At least 10 nuns are needed to balance magical and divine power.”
“It’s not enough. If he orders it, the nuns will follow.”

The other day, when she suppressed the terror attack on the theater, Kate reigned as the leader among the nuns of the Gwangmyeong Church.
It wasn’t even a matter of getting the nuns to cooperate with her experiments if she asked Kate to do her favor.

“If you’re that confident, I’ll leave it to Luke oppa to get the nuns. Me and Bella can get the materials for the obelisk. There are quite a few materials that aren’t in the lab, so we’ll have to do our best. Maybe we’ll have to order quests from adventurers. Uh.”
“What materials do you need?”
“Typically, something like the ‘grouse feather’ that can be obtained from a higher-level lightning spirit. It is difficult to obtain, so it is rare to sell. The lightning spirits are so nasty that they rarely trade feathers with people.”

Are you saying you need the Feather of the Lightning Spirit?
I think you can ask Wendy, who is good at spirit magic.
Because Wendy had a unique talent that was loved by the spirits. If the adventurer’s guild came forward, she would surely be able to secure her grouse’s feathers.

Bella also mentions her Wendy because she knows her ancestral talent.

“It’s okay to get feathers from the spirits. Our guild has a receptionist who is good at spirit magic, so the lightning spirits will also make a deal.”
“Really…? People who are good at spirit magic are rare, right? Isn’t there something your guild doesn’t have?”

I decided to leave it to them to supply the materials for the obelisk, and I left for Gwangmyeongseong Church.
I was entrusted with the heavy task of bringing precious nuns to the laboratory.

“We’ll have to talk to Father Franz to bring in the nuns. It’s going to take some time.”
“Me and Bella will have to walk around town all day? She’ll probably arrive at the lab around evening, so the nuns and I are waiting for you at the lab ahead of time.”

We broke up right after leaving the lord’s castle.
In order to gather the materials and manpower needed to build the obelisk, it seemed that it would be possible to conduct a full-scale fusion experiment by this evening.

Because of the news of the invasion of the Demon King’s army, the citizens of the city were trembling with anxiety.
Most of the men were conscripted into the city defense army, and only women, children and the elderly were left on the streets.

“My son was taken to the army…”
“My house is the same.”

After passing by the noisy citizens and walking around the city for a while, I was able to arrive at Gwangmyeongseong Church.
Today, not only church members but also magicians from the Mage Tower roamed around the church.

‘Father Franz was in favor of the Mage Master’s plan. He must be preparing to deploy the barrier with the wizards of the Mage Tower.’

The reason why the wizards of the Mage Tower were in the church was because of the barrier.
It seemed that the other side was also thinking of collaborating with the nuns to receive support for the barrier composed of divine power.

Upon entering the church, I saw Kate with Father Franz.
Father Franz was in the middle of explaining to Kate about the Mage Master’s plan.

“Kate, let you lead the nuns and help with the plan of the Mage Tower Master.
“Yes…? Let us see and block Mjolnir’s lightning? Is that possible?”
“It’s going to be hard, but I’ll try my best to stop it.”

Although Kate blinked at the words to block Mjolnir’s lightning, she did not refuse Father Franz’s order.
As it is, I have to bring Kate before the magic tower takes it away.

“Stop!”

I shouted urgently at Father Franz and Kate.
Only then did they notice that I had appeared at the church and looked at me.

“Mo, Mongma?”
“Hmm…?”

Father Franz had previously gotten acquainted with a church paladin when they had a fight.
Without having to exchange long greetings, I strode forward and revealed the purpose of my visit to the church.

“Father Franz, I will take Kate.”
“What does that mean?”
“I’m taking you? I have to work because I’m in an urgent situation. They told me to spread the barrier to block Mjolnir’s lightning.”

Father Franz and Kate looked at me with puzzled eyes.
Kate replied that she couldn’t go, as if she thought I was inviting her to a date.

I grabbed Kate’s wrist and pulled her firmly.
Can never let her go

“Hehe.”

I pulled her wrist, and Kate, who bounced like a spring, spun around and was hugged to my chest.
I said firmly to Kate.

“Don’t do that.”
“What, what?”
“Barrier!”

I cut out all the explanations before and after and started by saying not to do it, but Kate’s reaction was surprisingly good.
Kate murmured with an excited expression.

“Mi-crazy…! It’s so powerful that it’s cool. Is this my husband? Did you boil some bear talk today?”

I was in such a hurry that I had to pull her wrist first, but it seemed to Kate that she was full of power.
I pushed this momentum and asked Kate.

“There’s something more important than a barrier. I have a plan to completely block Mjolnir’s lightning, and I need you to execute it.”
“I’ll go if I need to! That Kate has always been Madame’s nun. She’s only Madame’s little nun.”

Join Kate!

My own little nun, Kate, joined me without question.
Kate left her farewell note to Father Franz, who had a bewildered expression on her face.

“Father Franz, thank you for the kindness you have raised me up to now, but the man I love is calling me. Sister Kate will leave the church for the time being for her love.”
“Where are you going! I can’t stand watching! Both of you, what kind of foolish joke is this!!”

Father Franz had the expression of anger, like a grown-up father-in-law whose daughter had been taken away.
Having succeeded in securing Kate in haste, I explained to Father Franz what had happened to her.

In order to experiment with her sexual magic fusion, 9 more nuns besides Kate are needed.

“As I explained in the conference hall today, I am going to conduct an experiment to transform Orichalcum. In order to transmute Orichalcum, artificially injecting the nun’s divine power is essential.”
“Are you taking Kate away for her experiments? I thought you were playing a prank again.”
“I need a total of 10 nuns including Kate. Please support the nuns for my experiment.”
“You need 10 more people…?”

Hearing my request, Father Franz put on a troubled expression.
The number of nuns working in the church in the Joensuu branch was 50 in total.
If there are 10 of them, it is no different from saying that 20% of the nuns in the church are taken away.

“Luke-kun, as you know, I’m cooperating with the plan of the tower lord. I’ve already made my choice, so if I steal the nuns, I have no choice but to notice the lord of the tower.”
“So you’re saying you can’t help me?”
“Keuhmm…! I’m not saying I can’t help!”

When asked directly, Father Franz hesitated to answer.
If it were someone else, I would have rejected the request to support the nuns, but I was a member of Gwangmyeongseong Church.
In the meantime, I attended weekend services and lived as a sincere believer, but there was no choice but to build trust between us.

“Can you really build that obelisk? Didn’t the owner of the mage tower and the successor of Ninggard say it was impossible because there was no Orichalcum?
“It’s quite possible.”
“Hmm…”

Father Franz pondered for a long time before opening his mouth.

“It’s not like sending all the nuns, it wouldn’t matter if there were 10 of them. If the barrier would be destroyed even if there were only 10 of them, then the Mage Tower Master’s plan would be meaningless.”

In the end, Father Franz’s choice was to help me, a believer in the church.
After all, if you want to live comfortably in another world, becoming a religious person is the answer.

“Kate, change the plan and you will help Luke with the experiment. Let you direct the other nine nuns participating in the experiment.”
“May I choose the nuns to participate in the experiment? I’ll choose those who are obedient.”
“You can do whatever you want.”

Moments later, Kate called nine of the nuns gathered in the church.

“Gather 9 under me.”

With just one word spoken, the nuns gathered in front of Kate in an instant.

“Yes! Sister Kate!”
“Assembly complete!”
“Please do anything.”

They were nuns carrying maces instead of tools.
He probably knew that he would go out for a gang fight.
Rumors spread that the Demon King’s army was invading, and the atmosphere in the church was somber.

“Put down your mace. We are not going to fight.”

It was only then that the nuns’ expressions softened when I explained to them about helping the experiment.

“Aha, you called for a magic experiment?”
“I’m glad it’s peaceful.”

During the experiment, these nuns would be lodging in Delia’s laboratory.
I was in such a hurry that I couldn’t commute to the church dormitory.

“I’ll have to stay in Ninggard’s lab for the time being, so everyone pack your stuff.”

Kate and I left the church with the nuns and headed to Delia’s lab.
