Chapter 489
“Have you been to the Demon World?” Lawrend asked.
“Are you saying..?”
“We won’t know if we don’t try,” Lawrend replied.
“The Goddess will surely try to stop us if it’s possible for me to say it to you in there,” the Pillar Heaven Mage said.
“Can you defeat them?” Lawrend asked.
“The angels, I can defeat, but I don’t know if I can weather the wrath of the Goddess. She might wipe my bloodline off the face of the world.”
“*Sigh* It’s a shame. Let’s forget about it then. I also don’t want her to come after me,” Lawrend replied.
He gave up. He was familiar with the Goddess. She already warned him about teaching the way to use magic using the soul.
If he tried to offend her again, he doesn’t know what she would do. She might even outright kill him. After all, she was the reason that he was in this world in the first place.
“I can’t give you the secret of the pillar, but I can help you become a Heaven Mage,” the Pillar Heaven Mage said.
“I don’t need it,” Lawrend candidly replied.
“Hm? Don’t tell me that you are confident in becoming a Heaven Mage?” he asked in surprise.
“Hehe. It’s only a matter of time. If there is a chance, I will exchange the secrets of the pillar with the information of what happened to the civilization before ten thousand years ago,” Lawrend replied with a slight smirk on his face.
“Certainly. I don’t doubt that you will become a Heaven Mage. If there is no place for you at the Primitus Continent, I can recommend you to one of the seats of the parliament. The Altro Federation won’t say no to someone like you,” the Pillar Heaven Mage said.
“I actually don’t know your name yet,” Lawrend said.
“You are worth knowing my name. I’m called Trondon Yreg. It was a worthwhile meeting you today, Lawrend,” Trondon said with a friendly smile on his face.
He extended his hand, and the two of them shook hands.
Lawrend stared at the man in front of him. His body was flowing with a huge amount of Earth Elemental Mana. The way his mana flowed was very efficient. It allowed him to store more mana inside his small humanly body.
He was leagues apart from a Grand Mage like Lawrend. He was already very efficient in magic.
Meeting him today made Lawrend realize some things, especially since he saw a practical example of an efficient way to store mana in the body. It was worth more than the chance to ask him any question.
Lawrend stood up and bid him farewell. He left the room with a huge relief on his face.
Sitting face-to-face with a Heaven Mage was very nerve-racking. He wasn’t sure if he could trust the man or not.
But seeing his reaction today, he was someone that deserved his trust. He didn’t press him as to how he managed to become as strong as an Earth Mage while still being a Grand Mage.
“Lawrend, I would like to apologize about before. I won’t bother you about Humility ever again,” Meno said as soon as he saw Lawrend leave the room.
“Oh, thanks. That’s great,” Lawrend replied and smiled at him.
“Thank you. I would also like to request of you to help me find a suitable wife. Possibly someone that is talented in business,” Meno said.
“That’s not a problem. If I stumble across someone like that, then I would tell you. But first, how can I contact you?” Lawrend asked.
“Here. You can take this.”
Meno extended his hand and gave him a crystal orb. In it was a weird symbol. Wherever direction one looked, the symbol would always face you.
“Is this a communication device?” Lawrend asked.
“Yes. This is something that my mother made. She’s the only one capable of making that.” Meno nodded his head.
“Thank you. You don’t mind if I use this to call you if I need help?”
“If you need help, I can help if I’m not that far away,” Meno replied with a smile on his face.
This ending was something Lawrend never expected. He became friends with a Heaven Mage and the son of another Heaven Mage. His luck was certainly not bad.
“See you,” Lawrend bid his farewell.
Lawrend left the palace. The mages watched him leave with envy on their faces. They knew that he was given a chance to ask the Pillar Heaven Mage a question. As mages, they could ask him to give them advice that would strengthen them.
Alas, they were too weak to participate in the tournament.
Lawrend walked through the streets. He didn’t ride a carriage. He enjoyed the feeling of being alone as it was a rare chance for him to contemplate what to do in the future.
He could either go to the Demon World or return to the Undrasil Kingdom. If he wanted to go to the Demon World, he would have to go in with his children, or he would have to leave them.
He didn’t want to do either, so going to the Demon World was out of the question.
Next, he would return to the Undrasil Kingdom. He would retake the throne and establish an empire. As long as the Blumin Emperor doesn’t visit him, he was safe.
He and Aezel could defend the Undrasil Empire together. He doesn’t believe that the Blumin Emperor would dare allow his empire to become vulnerable when he leaves the capital.
…
Before Lawrend realized it, he returned to the South Pillar stadium.
He arrived at the room where Humility and Aezel were anxiously waiting for him.
“Master!”
“Master!”
The two of them ran to him and embraced him. They were worried sick when he left with the Pillar Heaven Mage. They don’t know if he was someone they could trust.
“Don’t worry. The Pillar Heaven Mage was trustworthy.”
“Mm.” Humility nodded her head and tapped her lips with her finger.
Lawrend sighed and pecked her on the lips.
“Me too,” Aezel said.
Lawrend also kissed her.
“The two of you are really too spoiled. Alright. Let’s return home,” Lawrend said.
