Chapter 1956 Changes in the Northern Continent

Chapter 1956 Changes in the Northern Continent

Adrian arrived at the entrance of the cave of Aurgelmir and saw that the entire cave structure has changed as well. He could still feel the cold air of the northern continent but the hot steam coming out of his smithy would combat the cold air. Due to the clash of hot and cold winds, powerful twisters are always brewing near the cave entrance.

The numerous twisters became a natural barrier that prevented others from carelessly walking inside the smithy of a demigod. Adrian can also see that there are more mana traps installed in the walls of the cave. This might be done by the Ice Queen Elona of the Northern Continent.

Adrian immediately flew toward the center of the smithy where the demigod blacksmith is. He dodges and carefully snuck past every trap that was laid out. He made sure not to trigger the traps or else the old man might be angry at him. Setting up traps would take time out of his precious smithing time and cuddle time with his betrodden.

"You are here again." Aurgelmir stated as soon as Adrian arrived at the center of a large smithy where magma flowed like water.

"It is nice seeing you again as well, Old Man Aurgelmir. It seems that the Ice Queen Elona is not here which means you are crankier than your usual crankiness." Adrian stated.

"What do you want, demon brat?" Aurgelmir asked.

"I need to commission something from you. I need to you to create a holy relic for a goddess that I am helping who is also helping someone that I am helping." Adrian stated as he almost bit his tongue from the words that he told.

"A holy relic? That is new. I never thought that gods would beg mortals for help. I guess even they want to easily descend unto the world." Aurgelmir stated.

"So... will you, do it? I do have money to pay you for the price of crafting a holy relic." Adrian stated.

"I do not need money, young brat. Instead, I need your help with something as I am in need of aid." Aurgelmir stated.

"I am listening. Please tell me more." Adrian stated as he was glad that he did not need to pay with gold coins as a holy relic is basically a hundred thousand gold commission at the very least.

"My beloved... the Ice Queen Elona has been having trouble with a few beings that are intruding in the north. Do you know of the Asgardians?" Aurgelmir stated.

"I am pretty familiar with them as I have a few run-ins with some of their gods. They are a very sly bunch if I do say so myself." Adrian replied.

"I see that you hate them as well. I guess we have something in common now." Aurgelmir stated.

"Huhh? What did they do to you though?" Adrian asked.

Adrian gave out the items needed for the holy relic and told him that it is for the Goddess of Life Demeter. He also said that the goddess did not care what the holy relic looks like as long as it is created with sturdiness and power in mind. Aurgelmir nodded and is satisfied with the raw materials as any good blacksmith can create a holy relic with these items as long as they are careful.

"I am going now." Adrian stated as he saw Old Man Aurgelmir facing his forge and creating the holy relic.

"There are five Temporary Bifrost, but I was not given the location where they are. I guess I need to talk to the Ice Queen Elona for some guidance as she might have already marked those five." Adrian muttered to himself as he teleported to the kingdom of the Ice Queen Elona.

Adrian attempted to appear outside the ice castle, but it seems that even the ice castle was expanded. He directly appeared in the middle of the audience room of the queen. He also met an unexpected person there which made his heart skip a beat.

"So nice of you to join us, Champion Equinox. I did not know that you were coming here. You even bypassed my teleportation canceling magic circle. I guess the magic circle is not enough to defeat the masters of spatial magic like demons, but I would like to at least make sure that they cannot intrude in the audience hall.

Tell the palace mages that they need to upgrade the teleportation canceling magic circle. If they do not upgrade it by the end of the day, then tell them that their vacation time will be cut down for a day of being late." The Ice Queen stated to an attendant and the latter immediately went running towards the door.

"Sorry about that. It seems that I made some trouble for your people." Adrian stated.

"Do not worry about that as there is no better way to test that spell than a demon. I should even say thank you, but it seems that you are here for other things. Is it the Valkyrie perhaps?" The Ice Queen Elona stated as she noticed the tension between the two people in her audience room.

"Uhmm... Ahaha... Actually, I am here on a quest given by the old man. He told me that you needed some help in destroying the Five Temporary Bifrost that was laid down in the territory. I was hoping that you would know the location of each so that I do not need to look for them. I was only given three days to complete it." Adrian stated.

"He is such a caring person that it warms my frozen heart. Teehee." The Ice Queen Elona stated with a smile which was different from her usual cold demeanor.

"I was also having difficulty with those things as I did not know how to destroy them as well. We have the location but destroying them is another thing since they seemed to be etched into the very ground itself. Even destroying the ground does not diminish its use which is why we have called upon the help of a Valkyrie." The Ice Queen Elona stated.

"As I was about to say, your majesty. Even we, Valkyries, are unable to destroy them but we can call upon the power of our gods to do so. We can sense the Temporary Bifrost as it is made of energy from Asgard itself. We are familiar with that energy, but we cannot destroy them. We apologize for our lack of ability." Frey stated as she was the one chosen to speak to the Ice Queen.

"I cannot blame all of you as you have also aided us in defending the kingdom from those usurpers. If only we can destroy them then their army of reinforcements would be pushed back." The Ice Queen Elona stated.

"I can destroy them if you want. The Bifrost might be impossible for me as of now, but a Temporary Bifrost might be doable since it is weaker. Did you all forget that a demon is a master of spatial magic? The Bifrost basically operates on decoded spatial magic which means I can manipulate it or destroy it if I am powerful enough." Adrian stated with confidence even though he is not entire sure.
