Chapter 183 – Chapter 37: Confluence #3
The next afternoon, In-gong visited Amita’s workshop. There was the matter of modifying the fourth elder dragon equipment, El Ragra, but he also had some things he wanted to entrust to Amita.
However, Amita started rampaging as soon as In-gong brought up a new request.
“I don’t want to! Why do I have to look at it again? I have no reason to put that heart in White Eagle! Are you trying to exploit my labour! This scammer!”
In-gong had two new requests. One was to repair the Giant King’s Sword, while the other was to insert Abseltur’s heart into White Eagle.
Amita looked quite angry as they tapped their tail on the ground, but In-gong still had a relaxed expression on his face. He knew this was going to happen and had given Amita the ‘Heavenly Wine’ in advance. Moreover, Amita was also peeking at him during their tantrum like they had been expecting it. In-gong smiled villainously and said,
“I will give you another drink.”
“Leave it to this Amita!”
Amita jumped up and was ready to begin work immediately. It was the most ambitious In-gong had ever seen them.
‘What a fearsome power.’
Looking at the present situation, it seemed like he would be able to keep using Amita, even if he didn’t use the excuse of the last flame.
‘It is like when I knew they liked sweets.’
In-gong nodded and turned toward Daphne next to him. She was dedicated to taking care of Amita.
“I will also prepare a share for Daphne. You have gone through a lot of trouble.”
“Not at all. I am always happy to help Prince.”
Daphne said with red cheeks. The tips of her toes wriggled as though she too wanted to jump around with joy, like Amita. In-gong laughed and took out the Giant King’s Sword and White Eagle from his inventory.
“Then I will leave it to you.”
“Just leave it to me!”
Amita smiled as their tail waved. It was the first time In-gong had ever seen Amita like this.
‘Is it because they have a strong appetite or is the Heavenly Wine truly so great?’
It felt more like the latter.
‘So, I shouldn’t abuse it.’
He would give a small bottle to the 3rd Queen and 4th Queen, but that was it. It was better to hide the recipe as well.
‘It will be a problem for me, but it will also be a big deal if the gandharva are damaged.’
Ordinary gandharvas had a good smell. Although their body fluids weren’t as delicious as In-gong’s, he didn’t know if it would add some flavour. In-gong nodded as he remembered some wildlife which had become endangered due to overfishing. He could be overreacting, but it was always better to be careful.
Carack, Felicia, and Delia were waiting at the entrance of the workshop.
“Is it done?”
“Yes, I have never seen Amita look so passionate.”
In-gong smiled as he explained. Felicia shook her head like it was ridiculous.
“Hah. Oh, my god. Shutra, you let them drink it this morning on purpose?”
Felicia knew that Amita’s morning breakfast had included the Heavenly Wine. In-gong shrugged and replied,
“Well, a little bit?”
“Shutra, you are terrible.”
Felicia shook her head in disbelief and sighed. Although In-gong’s Heavenly Wine wasn’t bad, there was a lot of room for abuse.
In-gong asked Felicia,
“Noona, do you want more?”
He had made quite a lot yesterday, so he still had some to spare. Carack and Delia’s eyes shone at In-gong’s suggestion, but Felicia’s reaction was different.
“Uhh… it is okay. I want to drink it, but I can bear it.”
It was Delia who was the most shocked at Felicia’s words, but no one noticed it except for Carack. In-gong made a questioning sound and asked,
“Why?”
If it were Felicia, In-gong wouldn’t add any conditions like he had done with Amita.
Felicia opened her mouth several times before finally speaking.
“It isn’t that easy to make the Heavenly Wine right? You have to use Spiritualism and then melt divine power and divinity. You also have to shed blood. No matter how delicious it is, I don’t want to force Shutra to do anything unreasonable.”
Felicia was a good magician and knew about the meaning of blood. Blood was the essence of life and the soul. It wasn’t just a simple body fluid.
After saying this, Felicia exhaled. Her heart wanted to taste the Heavenly Wine everyday, but she had to endure it. It was at this moment that In-gong suddenly took hold of Felicia’s hand.
“Shutra?”
Felicia asked with surprise as In-gong stared at her. Then he dragged Felicia into an embrace.
“I only have Noona. Felicia noona is the best.”
Who else would give up the Heavenly Wine for him? Even the dignified Green Wind had asked him for more.
“Hrmm.”
Felicia reacted like she had always done, but she didn’t push In-gong away. Instead, she just smiled.
‘I-I also don’t want Master to do anything unreasonable.’
Green Wind whispered in In-gong’s ears. However, instead of saying thank you, In-gong replied bluntly,.
‘Aren’t those just words?’
‘Hiing.’
Green Wind’s past actions contradicted her words. After teasing Green Wind a few more times through their mental connection, In-gong released Felicia from his arms. She looked disappointed, while Carack clicked his tongue and said,
“Prince, it is impressive, but it is now time to move on.”
“Of course. Let’s go to the Merits Department.”
There were many things to prepare before the next court gathering. Felicia tidied up her clothing and said,
“Are we supposed to meet Caitlin and Chris at the Merits Department?”
“Uh, I have decided to meet the 4th Queen after the work at the Merits Department is finished.”
4th Queen Elaine Moonlight was currently staying at the Demon King’s Palace. However, it wasn’t just her. All the other queens had also decided not to leave the Demon King’s Palace until the next court gathering, due to the unusual cancellation of the previous one.
“Hrmm.”
