Chapter 342 – The Tower Master’s Humiliation #1
What happened after the birth of Holy Magic was a breeze.
By confining the mass of holy mana stored inside the reactor with telekinesis and pulling it out, it could be easily used as a soft material.
“I need a Mithril. Don’t just watch it blankly, prepare to transform Orichalcum.”
When I took the mass of holy magic out of the reactor, the people inside the test site were busy looking at the holy magic.
It’s natural to feel moved by seeing the fruits of the experiment.
However, in the situation where the Demon King’s army is invading, there is no time to hold a celebration party.
“Did you hear what Luke said? Everyone bring all the mithril ingots in the lab storage!”
Upon Delia’s order, the lab’s staff brought a mountain of mithril ingots from the warehouse.
Mithril is a metal with the highest energy absorption rate among the rare metals on earth.
Any magic can be easily granted, so it was no different from a treasure for alchemists.
The OPG gauntlet I made right now is also made of mithril.
Ordinary metals would not be able to absorb Holy Magic.
However, if it was Mithril, it was possible to absorb Holy Magic and evolve into Orichalcum.
“Brother, Mithril is ready.”
Delia, who had scraped the mithril ingots inside the laboratory, reported to me.
I approached the mithril ingots while holding onto the mass of holy mana with telekinesis.
“Luke-nim, I’ve drawn all of the formations. Now all I have to do is release holy magic toward the ingots.”
Deputy Director Dustin drew Yeon Seong-jin as if wrapping mithril ingots with the lab staff.
The limbs fit so well that I didn’t even have to give instructions to draw Yeon Seong-jin.
“Everyone, please step back. I will release holy magic.”
In case a dangerous accident might happen, I made the people around me back away from the mithril ingots.
It was only after securing a sufficient safety distance that the fusion began.
Whoops!
Manipulating the telekinesis, the holy mana that was held was released all at once toward the mithril ingots.
If the telekinesis was made like a road, it would be easy to manipulate the direction in which the holy mana flows.
Holy magic that was fired like a beam was slowly sucked into the mithril ingots.
“Mi, Mithril is absorbing holy magic?”
“You can’t call it Mithril anymore. It’s Orichalcum, the metal of the gods!”
The color of the mithril ingot, which had sucked in holy mana until it was completely filled, changed from silver to platinum.
It was exactly the same as the description of Orichalcum I had seen in the records, as it contained divine energy.
‘Orichalcon, a platinum-colored metal that holds divine aura.’
The same thing happened to all the ingots placed on Yeonseongjin.
If it was a game, this system message would probably pop up.
――Oh?! Mithril’s condition… !
――Mithril has evolved into Orichalcum!
It took about an hour to absorb holy magic into the mithril ingots.
After transformation, all Mithril ingots were turned into platinum-colored Orichalcon ingots.
“It’s all over. With Orichalcum created, now all that remains is to build the obelisk.”
“There are still about three days left before the Demon King’s army invades. If it’s three days, it’ll be enough to build an obelisk.”
Although the conversion was complete, no particularly dangerous accident occurred.
Only then did Delia come close to me, relieved, and tell us about the remaining time.
3 days is plenty.
With Ninggard’s technological prowess, erecting a tower in one day was no task.
Up until now, Orichalcum, which is the main material for obelisks, has only been a problem.
Oh, there was one more problem.
It was the feathers of the grouse that were consumed when making the lightning guidance device.
Rebecca and Wendy formed a party and went to meet the lightning spirits, but I don’t know how they came back.
“What happened to the grouse’s feathers? Did Rebecca and Wendy make it back to Joensuu?”
“Brother’s lovers will probably arrive around this evening. It will take some time to go back and forth to the area where the lightning spirits live.”
“I should make a lightning guidance device in advance. When I come back, I just need to stick a feather in the guidance device.”
With no time to rest, I improvised a lightning guidance device with Delia.
It was a lightning guidance device to be attached to the top of the obelisk design.
Melt Orichalcum to create thick, pointed horns, then engrave a magic circle that amplifies the power of the grouse’s feathers.
It was completed by making what could be made in advance and inserting only the grouse’s feathers inside later.
Time passed and it was evening.
When the basic framework of the lightning guidance device was almost completed, welcome guests visited the laboratory.
It was Rebecca and Wendy who received the quest and went to get the feathers of the grouse.
“Luke! I’ve got all the feathers.”
“Ugh… I’m tired from the long trip. Didn’t anything happen while we were gone?”
In Rebecca’s hand was a heavy bag containing her grouse’s feathers.
Both of them had visited the habitat of the ill-tempered lightning spirit, but they were not particularly hurt.
“Good work, both of you.”
“I heard they’re building something called an obelisk? Is it going well?”
“It’s going smoothly. With the grouse’s feathers, I’ve gathered all the ingredients. Then it’s over.”
“Good!”
Rebecca didn’t know much about magic, but she looked happy when I told her that the plan was going smoothly.
Rebecca was a trustworthy girl who would believe me even if I picked the moon for her.
As I took her sack from Rebecca and undid her straps, her grouse’s feathers spilled out.
It was clear that it was a grouse’s feathers, and I could feel the tingling static just by getting close.
“What’s so big?”
Delia looked at the hundreds of feathers of the grouse and made a puzzled expression.
“Thunder spirits don’t trade their feathers well, do they? Even if they do trade, it’s normal to end the deal by giving away two or three feathers.”
Lightning spirits called ‘grouse’ value their feathers.
Shall we say that it has habits like a Duke?
The richer the feathers, the more attractive they look among grouse, so they try to save every feather.
This was the reason why it was difficult to trade feathers with grouse.
“How did you guys get so many feathers?”
“Eh…? I heard you did it well? Not for me, but for Wendy.”
“They plucked feathers from their bodies on the spot and even took care of the service.”
However, Rebecca and Wendy, who heard that it was difficult to deal with, were only making puzzled faces.
What they experienced in the Lightning Spirit’s habitat must have been the exact opposite.
I smiled and talked to Delia.
“I told you. Wendy has a talent that is loved by spirits.”
“How much love does she scatter hundreds of her feathers?”
“Honestly, if you have enough magical power, you can make a contract with the King of Spirits. Spirits follow milfs who are full of maternal love. Wendy is the best milf on the continent as far as I know.”
“Milf…?”
It was only thanks to Wendy that I got a lot of grouse feathers.
With a well-ripened body and huge breasts, she is currently the best milf on the continent.
How could the spirits not love Wendy when her breast milk flowed out?
Needless to say, Wendy herself has a maternal personality.
“Wendy, what did her grouse say when they traded?”
“They saw me and called me ‘Mamang’.”
“As expected…! Wendy Maman!”
Her expression was that Wendy herself was in trouble because she was loved by the spirits.
“It was difficult because the grouse tried to follow them like chicks. They asked me to raise them, but how can I raise a spirit other than Mary in a small house?”
“Merry takes precedence over spiritism, right?”
“Absolutely!”
Delia, who was listening to our story, put on a puzzled expression.
“She is loved by the spirits to the extent that grouse follow her in groups…?
“They’re all women doing something in their field.”
Rebecca who is fluent in martial arts, Kate who leads the nuns, Bella who is the head of the adventurer’s guild, and Wendy who is loved by the spirits.
I didn’t meet her because of her abilities, but somehow it felt like a gathering of talented people.
Thanks to this, she was able to receive help in many ways even when she was building the obelisk.
“If you insert a grouse feather, the lightning guidance device is complete.”
Delia and I inserted all of the grouse’s feathers into a huge horn made of orichalcum.
She had stored hundreds of feathers, so she could safely guide lightning strikes on the city.
Now it’s time to build the body of the obelisk.
I don’t know where to put the tower properly. Whenever lightning strikes the city, it will be guided towards the obelisk. If it is parked in a private house, wouldn’t an accident happen because of the high-voltage obelisk?
“Where do you build the tower?”
After receiving my question, Delia readily answered.
“Let’s just build it in the front yard of our lab. It’s close to the south gate, so it’ll be easier to induce Mjolnir’s lightning strikes. If you’re going to build it outside, you’ll have to talk to the landlord there.”
“It’s fine.”
Buying land to build a huge structure called an obelisk is also a time consuming task.
If it can be built in the front yard of Delia’s laboratory, it’s good for me too.
From that evening, we went out into the yard with the lab staff and started building the obelisk.
As rune mages began to use magic as a group to build the tower, the construction speed was surprisingly fast.
All you had to do was connect the necessary materials and install the key devices made with Orichalcum on the tower.
A large tower, like a lighthouse, was built at high speed in the front yard of the institute.
The next afternoon.
The obelisk with a height of 20M was successfully completed.
It was so tall that it cast the shadow of the tower around it.
If it was the Earth, citizens would have filed a lawsuit because the right to sunlight was violated, but it is fortunate that it is a different world.
‘Finally finished!’
God’s Tower to block God’s lightning!
Orichalcum was used as the material, so divine energy emanated from the tower.
Those who saw the obelisk couldn’t help but feel the impression of seeing a great cultural heritage.
“Uh, what is that…?”
“There’s a huge tower on the side of the wizards’ lab.”
Citizens of the city made an uproar when they saw the completed obelisk.
Ordinary citizens did not know about the obelisk plan, so they only got a beautiful tower.
Only after the demon army invades will you know how much you appreciate this tower.
“Everyone has worked hard.”
“Luke suffered the most.”
It was a time when I was watching the obelisk with a relaxed mind along with the lab staff.
Delia spoke her words to me.
“Luke oppa, I just contacted the Mage Tower to say that the Obelisk is complete, right?”
“Therefore?”
“The owner of the Magic Tower replied that he would come to see the Obelisk himself. He said he would invite Count Harold and Father Franz to come and see the Obelisk.”
Are you saying that the magic tower master is coming towards the research center?
During the meeting, Master James of the Magic Tower concluded that it was impossible to build an obelisk.
It was the old man who most vehemently opposed my plan.
“Ask them to come in.”
I wonder what expression you’re making now.
