Chapter 358 – Meet the Future Father-in-Law #2

If we do well, we may be able to receive instruction from the Archmage tonight.

Two years ago, from the moment I first learned magic, it was the path I had been aiming for as an archmage.
The day has come when the vague wish can finally be realized in reality.

‘Didn’t President Lawrence say he likes sweets? I’ll have to properly prepare the present.’

At noon that day, Delia was examined by a therapist and discharged from her hospital room.
I waited in the hospital room and went outside with Delia when I was discharged.

I didn’t have time, but if Delia had any disease, I should know.
Her heartless abandonment of her would be a lifelong blemish for her.

Now that I was her lover, it was my role to take responsibility for her.

As we walked downtown together, I asked Delia about the results of her checkup.

“Delia, did you hear anything bad about the exam? If there’s something trivial, tell me.”
“A bad word…? The therapist said that I was a little bit sick. The last time I fought against the brain agent, I was injured while using magic.”

Gihyeol is the same place as the passage through which mana flows in the human body.
Minor damage to qi and blood can be cured with timely treatment.
Even during magic training, the place where you could get hurt was the blood.

However, if severely injured, the body could be crippled.

“Are you serious?”
“It’s not that serious… Don’t use magic for a week, take medicine and your body will recover. It’s a minor injury for blocking Mjolnir’s lightning.”
“It’s good if it’s a small thing. I thought you should give it a restorative medicine.”
“Remedy?”

Delia opened her mouth as she crossed her arms with me.
A happy smile hung on her lips.

“I don’t need any medicine.”
“Why?”
“Because my brother’s love is my medicine right now.”

Kuk… !

She was taken aback for a moment by the sudden, blatant remark.
I never thought I would openly shout embarrassing lines in a crowded city.
The voice was quite loud, and the eyes of the people around us briefly focused on us.

A rumbling voice is heard in my ear.

“Wow… It’s a beautiful elf.”
“I’m so envious. If I become a candidate for the archmage, will I be able to date an elf?”
“I can make a good medicine too…”

Citizens saw us and made noise, but Delia didn’t care at all.
Rather, it was her posture with her arms folded closer, and she was actively attacking me with affection.

It feels good to have my arms buried in her soft breasts.
It was the same for me that I didn’t pay attention to the gaze around me.
In that state, she and Delia walked downtown.

“But oppa, where are you going now? Are you taking a walk with me?”

Delia, who followed me, belatedly asked me where I was going.
Of course, it wasn’t a walk.

“There’s a famous bakery on the street south of Joensuu. It’s called ‘Mont Blanc’ and they sell limited edition cakes every season. I’m going to buy a present for your father there.”

‘Mont Blanc’ was one of the most famous bakeries in Yoensuu as well as in the Northern Kingdom.
They sell special, limited cakes every season, and among them, the cakes sold in spring were rumored to be delicious.

It is the end of May now.
Mont Blanc sells the most delicious spring cake.
If you were going to give Lawrence a present, wouldn’t you have to bring something of that quality?

“Ah… You mean Mont Blanc? I’ve heard of the store from Bella before.
“Your father’s cake is also good, right? Are you not able to eat it because your gums are sore?”
“Father enjoys anything sweet. His gums are healthy, so he must really like cake.”
“Awesome… You don’t wear dentures, do you?”
“Yes.”

She can’t remember her exact age, but Lawrence was told she would be over 200 this year.
For 200 years, she has thoroughly maintained the health of her whole body, including her teeth.
Because he’s a great mage, he’ll have a longer lifespan than others.

We stopped by the Mont Blanc Bakery to purchase a limited-edition cake for the spring.
Just when we arrived, the bakery was selling the last limited cake.

The name of the cake is also ‘Spring Cake’.

“Welcome, guests! What are you looking for?”
“I’m here to buy a spring cake. Do you have any in stock?”
“If it’s a spring cake, there’s only one left. It’s time for the season to change. Please wait a moment.”

An employee at the bakery handed us a boxed spring cake after a while.
The time we promised to meet with Lawrence is evening, but you don’t have to worry about it melting even if you buy it in advance.

You just have to blow cold air into it so it doesn’t melt with freezing magic.
I am a walking freezer.

“Hagalaz.”

A cold element was injected into the inside of the cake box to prevent it from melting.
Delia looked at me like that and put on a ridiculous expression.

“Are you using rune magic just to keep the cake?”
“You’re not going to use wind magic when drying your hair either. It’s similar.”
“Still, I don’t use rune magic in my daily life. It’s hard to control. If I dry my hair with wind attribute rune magic, I’ll go bald.”
“I’m in control.”
“As expected, you’re a candidate for the archmage…”

Rune magic had the downside of being difficult to control in spite of its excellent destructive power, but that is also an old saying.
In my case, I could now control the output of my rune magic to the smallest detail.
It is also not difficult to maintain the freshness of the cake with rune magic.

As time passed and evening fell, we visited Ninggard’s laboratory as promised.
When I arrived at the front yard of the laboratory, I was able to witness a strange sight.

“Turn it off.”
“Use a little more magic! You won’t budge.”

The rune mages were carrying Mjolnir.
It was Mjolnir that was used by Thunder Emperor in the last battle.

Mjolnir crashed to the ground with the body of the Thunder Emperor, but fortunately the Demon King’s army did not steal it.
Because the reinforcements arrived and wiped out the Demon King’s army before Mjolnir was recovered.

After annihilating the demon king’s army, the wizards of Nyingard heard that they had safely recovered Mjolnir from the battlefield.
It seemed that Mjolnir was being transported into the laboratory.

“Keuuuuu!”
“It’s filthy heavy…!”
“Can a person lift this?”
“Of course people can’t lift it! It’s a holy relic.”

As many as 20 rune mages clung to it, and all of them were struggling to carry Mjolnir.
It’s not that I’m ignorant of using force, but I’m using wind attribute magic to lift it up in the air.

Delia looked at them with a look of interest.

“As expected, a normal person can’t handle a holy relic. If you hold Mjolnir with your hands like that, you won’t be able to move.”
“I see. Isn’t it only possible to handle people with the blood of God?”

I know very well what a holy relic is.
Because I didn’t know if I would be able to write.

Holy relics refer to relics directly used by the gods of Asgard.

Odin’s Gungnir.
Thor’s Mjolnir.
Loki’s Mistiltein.
Hella’s Naglfar.

These are amazing relics that you can recognize just by hearing their names.
In order to handle the holy relic, you must have the lineage of a god.

If a person without divine blood tries to move the holy relic, magical resistance occurs like Mjolnir now.
It’s not just that you can’t handle the power of the holy relic.

That the weight increases hundreds of times.
It’s like being cursed with a poisoned mind and turning into a madman.
In the worst case, you’ll be eaten alive by the relic!

Rather, it was a nobleman to take a penalty that increased the weight like Mjolnir.
Wouldn’t that be better than dying?

I asked Delia what to do with Mjolnir.

“What will Mjolnir do now? Is there anyone in Ninggard who inherited the lineage of a god?”
“Doesn’t exist.”

Delia replied that she didn’t cut it.

“There’s no way there could be a being other than Wiseman who inherited the lineage of a god. There is no record that the gods of Asgard left descendants on earth. All other descendants live in the heavens.”

There was a very rare record of gods other than Loki leaving descendants.
Or Magni, Thor’s son.
However, during the Great War, all the descendants of the gods were evacuated to heaven.
Since Bifrost is out of order, it is impossible to bring them to the surface.

Now, the only bloodline of God left on earth was only Wiseman.
After hearing Delia’s words, I could understand it even more clearly.

“Are you sure you don’t?”
“There is none. Even after searching all over the continent, I couldn’t find any descendants of other gods other than Loki. If there were, we would have already recruited them and raised them as wizards.”

There’s no way an organization the size of Ninggard couldn’t find another descendant.

So what does this mean?
It is said that if anyone handles Mjolnir properly, he will be suspected of being Wiseman.

‘It’ll be a big deal if I get closer.’

It would be right to give up Mjolnir for my future, but…
What a waste.

I’m so sorry I’m dying!

Are you saying that a holy relic the size of Mjolnir should be left rotting just because of bloodlines?

Even though I was confident that if I got Mjolnir, I would be able to use it better than the Thunderbolt.
If you make it wet with water magic and release Mjolnir’s lightning, wouldn’t a massacre happen!

“Where are you carrying Mjolnir?”
“I plan to keep it in the basement of the lab until the war is over.
“…That’s right.”

Later, when I have a chance, I will think of a way to legally obtain Mjolnir.

“Let’s go in soon. I’m going to meet your father.”
“Yes.”

We went inside the lab to meet President Lawrence.
