Chapter 608 – Ungi Breakfast, Chaeyang Boeum (7)
***
It’s been two days since I started to stop cosplaying my normal weapons and started carrying my own spear in a bad mood.
“My dear! Let’s go to the Holy Land!”
As I declared, my Goddess said so right away when I returned home after two days.
“… Come on. And let’s go to the Holy Land? Now?”
I asked, munching on bread, and Veronica put her hand on her waist and smiled.
“Yes, right now if possible. There is nothing else to prepare or do. Right now, I’m just going to listen to a brief explanation. You just need to bring your body lightly.”
“Okay. If that’s the case, there’s no need to be late.”
If I had to go today and completely lift the curse of the bicorn god, I wouldn’t have been able to spread jam on bread like I am doing now, but it would be okay if I just listened to what they said.
The advantage of
Skipping the time and labor required for moving, I was able to reach the Holy Land before sunset that day by using Veronica’s magic and Shinma’s magic circle in parallel.
A sacred place near the village where I came to take the silver class promotion test before.
Perhaps not as a metaphor, but as an expression, the paradise of bicorns that has remained this way for tens of thousands of years, of course, has not changed a bit from the last time I visited.
The only difference from that time was that I had heard that I would come, and that there were no bicorns hanging out near the magic circle.
—Thank you for coming, my guide.
Instead, it was a muscular man as bright as a war horse.
I was a little surprised by his appearance, but that was because he was a man with twin horns on his head resembling sheep or goats like Veronica.
Of course it’s a bicorn, but you can be in human form in front of me?
Embarrassed to the point of being speechless, I soon realized the reason and wiped my surprised heart. Turns out, it was a pretty simple trick.
“It’s a fake body created by the spiritization technique.”
─Yes. I’m conveying my will with rune magic in the figure I made by collecting wind. I said that I would try to make it precisely, but I can’t fool the eyes of the guide.
He bowed his head in an exclamatory reply.
If they were opponents of other races, even if they shot telepathy with rune magic, the words wouldn’t work. It was a possible conversation method because I was a person who did not work with curses.
‘It might be possible if it’s a written conversation, but in the first place, because of the prophecy, they said they would avoid such exchanges.’
If you think so, it was probably a magic I made up on purpose to make it easier for me to have a conversation. There are some parts that seem to be impromptu or rather flimsy, but that must be the cause.
“Today, this old man is the head of the clan. One magic knowledge is better than me.”
Veronica said as she jumped from her magic circle first.
“The older you are, the more you know.”
—This is Talisman. It is an honor to have the honor to stand before you, even though you lack in status.
Saying that, Talisman’s eyes dripped with respect.
The last time I visited, the bicorns who were dubious about me now seemed to have complete trust, as if they were afraid of being disappointed after expecting nothing.
‘Were Satis’ arrowheads and the Valkyrie were such great evidence.’
I roughly guessed that and shook my head.
Perhaps I became more polite because of guilt or regret for my rudeness last time, but as was the case with Veronica, the respect I received even though I wasn’t proud was quite burdensome.
Our Goddess read my complexion well and snorted.
“At first, everyone lined up and there was no fuss about bowing to you. But no matter how much I thought about it, the master seemed to hate it, so I stopped him.”
“Good job. Thank you.”
I’m glad Veronica cut it in the middle.
Dozens of horned horses gather and bow their heads? It looked like fun, but it wasn’t something I really wanted to see.
Even if they gathered like that, they would disband within a few hours.
Of course, if that’s the case, the process of welcoming me wasn’t excessive, but that wasn’t the case either.
Talisman, who overturned the wishes of the rest of the bicorns by himself, behaved like an officer who was single-handedly dealing with Two Star, who had fallen in the company.
─It’s a small thing, but it’s a gift from others. Please accept it.
“Hehe, what are all these things? Still, it’s a gift with a heart, so I’ll accept it well. Wouldn’t it be like warm feelings sprouting between gifts that come and go?”
─Oh, yes, of course. And you can speak comfortably.
“Oh, I’m comfortable with this. Khehehe.”
Thanks to that, I was able to get to the main topic only after I packed a variety of delicacies and gifts. I need to bring something like the alchemy tools used by the elves to Tirsi.
—Based on that arrowhead, the bicorns of all clans squeezed the knowledge and oral traditions they had.
Talisman pointed to the red arrowhead of Satis that Veronica had taken.
──Based on that, it seems that the subject of the curse afflicting the clan is probably in the gap in the dimension of this [Middle branch].
“It’s a dimensional rift… Are you talking about the other world?”
“It’s not a dimension wide enough to be called the other world.”
Veronica overlapped two sheets of her parchment, answering my question instead.
“It is a secret space between dimensions that cannot be seen with the naked eye and cannot be easily intervened with magic. The source of that curse must be there.”
—The sacred object that the guide-nim obtained has the power to open the dimensional rift. And the power to tell where the gap is.
I sat with my arms crossed and listened to the explanation, then nodded.
“But there must be a problem.”
─Yes? How to do that…
How what how That’s why this bottom national rule is all about it.
If there weren’t any problems, I wouldn’t have called.
“Okay, let’s hear what the problem is.”
—That… It requires a lot of mana.
Talisman said as if he had no face. I frowned.
“Need mana? For what sounds simple and complex. If Veronica had participated in the consultation process, it would not have been simply a matter of more and less.”
Huldfolk’s scepter and the mana storage based on the scepter.
It’s not a big problem that Ralilura’s Lingling needs mana to use the same technique that was also applied to No. 6. It’s enough to save a few months and use it all at once.
Sure enough, Veronica sighed.
“It is useless to increase mana with tools. Although it increases one’s strength, it does not allow the use of mana beyond the limit.”
“… What are you talking about?”
“Tearing apart the dimensional rift, shooting an arrow to break the source of the curse. It means that only one person needs a lot of mana to carry out this process.”
Why am I at that conclusion? I didn’t ask.
This is the conclusion reached by bicorns who are much more desperate than I am.
If it had been a conclusion that could be rebutted by saying, ‘Maybe not?’
If there was room for objection, it would have been a heated argument for at least a few weeks, but it wasn’t. In other words, that conclusion could be regarded as an almost certain fact.
So I trusted my wife’s conclusion and murmured.
“… Is there a limit to using tools to increase mana?”
Even if I had 10 times the amount of mana stored in my seal, it would be impossible to use all of that mana at once.
Have bodybuilders doubled their bench press weight just because they ate a full meal?
By that fucking logic, why would shooting a rocket from my home planet be such a feat? If you just pump the fuel in and shoot, the moon will be filmed.
‘Once upon a time in China, there was a nobleman who tried to fly in the sky by attaching firecrackers to a chair and setting it on fire.’
The nobleman disappeared with a huge explosion the moment the servant lit the firecrackers, but I didn’t want to face such a spectacular explosive stillbirth ending.
Besides, no matter how great this seal is, it would not be able to store several times the amount of my manatong, which has grown much more than before.
I stroked my chin and sighed.
“It is a painful problem. It’s not like you can just increase the amount of mana just because you want to increase it. But didn’t Satis-sama say that it would be possible with my strength?”
“It is possible to improve somewhat. Physical distance is not meaningless even in the dimensional rift, so just get as close as possible to the source of the curse.”
Talisman moved his hand as if to add to Veronica’s explanation.
—For example, to exterminate the monsters beneath Orwalia, it would be faster to go all the way to Orwalia than to dig a tunnel from this sacred site. It’s like that.
I’m afraid who’s not a bicorn who doesn’t interact with the outside world, look at the example of an ancient nation that has been destroyed long ago. I laughed a little and recited what I understood.
“It’s just the difference between a wall in space or the ground to pierce.”
It seemed that the goddess of arts and sports did not miscalculate. The materials Satis used to make arrowheads were obtained by me, and I even returned them.
Anyway, there is a way, so I’ll do it somehow.
“I almost got it. Is it okay if I increase the amount of mana and find out where the curse is?”
– Exactly.
“Good. I will do my best, but please understand that it may take a while.”
I thought I would be a lightning bolt from the dry sky to the bicorns who only knew that they would finally be freed from the curse, but Talisman replied with a smile.
─The day of salvation, which will not be promising even if we wait for another thousand years, is just around the corner. Even if it’s a hundred years old, it’s a situation where I’m going to go to the middle of the day, so wouldn’t it be difficult to wait a few years?
“It won’t take that long. I think I’ll be comfortable when I do dimension shift research if you help me.”
It wouldn’t have to be several times the amount of mana it is now, and it wouldn’t be difficult if you properly located it. I burned my will and took the arrowhead.
“Oh right. While I happened to visit you, there is something I want to ask you.”
─Ho, what is it? I don’t know if we can dare to help the successor of Heavenly God, but if you give us an order, we will do our best.
“I don’t have anything to do with all my might, but would you mind looking at the condition of my spear?”
I put the spear back on the bracelet.
—… This is another awesome weapon. Eek!
Seureung-. Talisman, who was about to politely accept the straight spearhead, stopped his hand before I could stop him. Then he pretended to wipe off his cold sweat.
─After! Is it a spear imbued with anti-demon power? This psyche could have been destroyed.
“Will something big happen if it disappears?”
─Hmm. To use a vulgar phrase, the jaw turns.
“Yes?”
─Ah, I’m sure I’ll pass out.
Why did you use such dangerous magic, you bastard?
As I was dazed, he quickly observed the window. He must have been happy to let me hold the spear while he observed.
After a few minutes, he spoke confidently.
─There is nothing very strange about it. Although it appears to be an excellent gem containing many mysteries, it will not harm its owner.
“Is that so? By any chance, there was no life or something?”
─Life… ? I’m sorry, but it’s hard to see. If you want further analysis than now, you’d better go to the Fairy Shrine.
Fairy?
Those words made me think of the holy place where Veronica’s teacher, Adelaide, only took one of her pupils, a bicorn.
What was your name Was it Anne?
He was the guy who said he felt sorry for my window and said he would take it with him.
“The Holy Land of Fairies, where else is that?”
─I heard that they set up their own little paradise just like our bicorn gods. Perhaps the location is near the great wilderness, around Kitai, the country of the human race.
Damn you, what a wilderness?
Isn’t that the land of my fake hometown, Kitai, and nomadic-elves? As if not noticing my slight bewilderment, Talisman continued.
─Yes. I heard that there is a way to gradually increase the amount of mana in Kitaien. It might not be a bad choice to go once.
“Oh, Talisman!! There is a bee on your cheek!!”
It was then. Veronica abruptly interrupted her kinsman’s words, pulling out a staff with a flaming branch. Her eyes burned hotter than her wand.
“Be still! Catch me before I shoot!!”
─Bur, bee? It’s a mental body anyway, so what does it matter, geuk!!
I’m sorry-!!
Talisman, who was making a contemptuous noise, passed out after being hit by an earthenware pot. Just as the hologram video call was turned off, the mental body created by the spiritization technique also disappeared.
“Whoa, whoa…”
Our Goddess, who had a fratricidal affair, seemed to notice my staring mesmerized, and put on an alluring smile while arranging her disheveled hair.
“My dear. You’re not thinking of going to Kitai or something, are you? Do you think you’ll get caught up in an accident while trying to wander around?”
“No, that, even if you don’t have to be Kitai, you can’t live in a house all your life—”
“If a man keeps going out, he can’t use it!! Didn’t the master say we could just play and eat with the money we earned!!”
“Wow our wives have become foragers in the world of gender reversal?”
As I watched Veronica cry out in tears, I touched her forehead.
Swallow, is my curfew still not lifted?
Somehow, there were so many Valkyrie who followed me.
