Continuation of training 1.125

The jewelry store closed its doors at about six o'clock in the afternoon. However, Viggo's journey continued and he had to travel in the elegant carriage pulled by the beautiful white horses heading Northeast. For the type of area, the carriage attracted attention for its luxurious design plated in dark and lustrous wood while having golden moldings. However, it was more admiration for luxury than novelty, after all, many nobles from other countries had their summer residences in the northern sector of Orario. The further north you went in Orario, the grounds and mansions increased in size.

Despite the sector they went to, they stopped in front of a large barren terrain more than a thousand meters wide and two thousand deep. There was only arid land, some thickets, trees, and stone.

Viggo was the first to get off the carriage and helped Semiramis and Scheherezade down. For their part, Semiramis and Scheherezade put one on each side of Viggo and looked at the place wasteland while holding his hand.

-Enlighten me- said Viggo with a suggestive tone of voice, between thick and polite -Why hasn't anyone bought this abandoned site?-

-The place is expensive- Semiramis replied in a simple sentence.

Viggo looked at his sideways and she smiled at the sight of him confused.

-This place belonged to a nobleman who refused to sell the land in small parts. If someone wants it, they must buy it completely-

-And considering the area and the dimensions, it should not be cheap-

- Not at all. With all the money that should be paid for this land, we could buy five times the land of your mother's mansion-

-Isn't that a waste?- asked Viggo.

-Of course, it's a waste- Semiramis replied with a sly smile -that's why Lady Hera pulled her strings, and the place reached the tax value at which they have it valued in the guild of adventurers-

-Mmm, I understand, are we still in debt with Lady Hera?-

-Yes, but we are already in enough debt to decide to retire. So, getting a little more into debt shouldn't be a problem-

-I understand-

-What do you think, Viggo? Can you imagine how we could order it?- asked Scheherezade from the other side.

Viggo looked into her eyes and smiled, then looked at the besieged eriazo and imagined the limestone mountains so white that it reflects the sunlight. Then he thought of the indigo blue sea and its wonderful sea blizzards.

-Yes- said Viggo -I would like to build a white mansion with long towers and blue domes on top-

-That sounds like the coast of the port of Gition- said Semiramis.

-Yes, it's true- Viggo replied with a smile -it was a nice place to spend several years-

The three of them stared at the barren site as they clung to Viggo's arm. However, what they saw were the wide white sand beaches and the vast indigo blue sea of the Mediterranean. The sea breeze and sunlight reflected in the extensive water mantles.

-It would be great to sail again- Scheherezade said.

-Yes, that would be great- said Viggo, recalling those days of sailing on the high seas.

-It would be good to do it for pleasure and not for business- Semiramis added.

-Of course- Viggo said -it would be great to do it with our whole family and remember how we met-

After fantasizing for a couple of minutes, the three of them got back into the carriage and left for Hephaestus' mansion. Semiramis wanted to meet with Kiara and talk to her alone. Viggo told her that if she needed help convincing her of something, he could help her. However, Semiramis said it was a matter between women and it was better for him not to stick his nose in.

So Viggo went to eat in the dining room. Since he didn't have lunch all day, he had accumulated quite a bit of hunger. However, he never expects to find Tatsumi and Flora at the table.

-Viggo, you're late- Flora said as she chopped a meat on her plate.

Tatsumi turned to look back and noticing Viggo, smiled and said -otsukaresama, nii-sama- Then he looked at his plate again and continued to eat.

-How are they?- asked Viggo moving towards the table.

-Fine, we came from the dungeon- said Flora -and we went on to see the silly Viggo on his first day of work-

-You say it as if I had always been irresponsible- Viggo said frowning, sat at the head of the table and was two seats away from both. Flora on his right and Tatsumi on his left.

Flora let out a burlesque giggle and denied -Well, what does it feel like?-

Viggo let out a sigh, let go of his tie and then took it off to leave it in a corner of the table -wanting to be less responsible- he said with some tiredness -but it is not so much either. Dad and Achilles laughed at me for getting engaged to Semiramis and my other wives, but I didn't understand-

-And now do you understand?- asked Flora with a mocking smile.

Viggo let out a sigh and nodded. Flora showed a big smile, walked to Viggo, and combed his hair with her hand as a consolation. Usually, Viggo would not accept the affections of the "big sister", but today he felt so tired that Flora's attentions felt comforting.

-And you just came to look at me?- asked Viggo looking at the magic bell with which they called Esther. Tatsumi looked at the center of the table, took it and walked over.

-Thank you, Tatsu- replied Viggo and waved the bell, which did not make a sound, but should have emitted the tinkling of a bell in the kitchen, where Esther should have been.

-You're welcome, nii-sama- Tatsumi replied, looking at Viggo with some curiosity in his gaze.

-What do you need, Tatsu-

-Well, I wanted to ask you what it's like to have so many wives-

-Aaaa, that, Dad hasn't told you anything?-

-Yes, but I wanted a second opinion-

-It's not easy-

-Oto-sama said the same thing-

-Well, you see...- Viggo said and began to explain as he waited for Esther to come. He stopped when she arrived, but once Esther went to the kitchen to prepare the food, Viggo continued to recount. Even Flora paid attention to him and listened attentively without asking or interrupting. Of course, Viggo was not so detailed, but he was quite frank with things related to love, sex, the concerns of his loved ones and his own.

Tatsumi and Flora nodded as if they were taking note of everything inside their minds. Once the food arrived, Viggo devoted himself to eating and continued to tell them certain things. For Flora and Tatsumi it was a world of difference compared to what their parents told them. For some reason, everything Viggo said felt much more realistic and closer to them.

By the end of the evening, type nine of the night, Flora was drinking a cup of hot tea while Viggo drank juice with a lot of ice and Tatsumi drank green tea. They brought the chairs closer to Viggo and surrounded him from the sides. Viggo left his glass quite close to Flora's cup. The three of them continued to chat, until Flora poured herself hot water again. She drank tea and complained that her tongue was burned. In a hurry she leaves the cup off the plate, almost touching the glass of Viggo and the glass reacted by breaking.

The three of them looked at the glass with some curiosity and noticed how one of the edges finished falling to spill the juice and ice cubes.

-Idiot Viggo- said Flora -that's about playing with so much ice-

-Shut up silly- replied Viggo -it was your fault for not being careful-

-But what happened?- asked Tatsumi.

-Too cold and hot at the same time?- said Viggo with some doubt.

Flora grabbed her chin and thought out loud -you don't think it would be good if we could introduce that level of heat into the body of ice lizards-

-What are you talking about, you idiot?- asked Viggo worriedly. He took a cloth and began to collect the glass and dry the juice. Then he looked at Tatsumi and saw that he also took a drying cloth from his side. Viggo looked at Flora again and saw her crossing her right arm, while holding her chin with her left hand.

Viggo let out a sigh and asked -What do you mean?-

-You see- Flora said seriously as if she were an academic -there is a type of lizard that produces ice, and its scales are hard and cold. His body is so hard that we have a hard time hurting it. However, if I could introduce heat into his body, wouldn't he burst into death instantly?-

Viggo folded his arms and looked at the ceiling imagining the vision of such a scenario. At the same time, he remembered the draugrs of his master's world, who had fire inside their cadaveric bodies. Then he realized the possibilities that Flora was talking about.

-Wait for me here- said Viggo, ran out of the dining room, walked down the elegant hallway, and then climbed the climbs to the second floor. From there he turned down the corridor on the left and went to his room. He found Semiramis and Kiara talking about something, but he didn't even care and just said "permission." Then Viggo began to search the candles while Kiara and Semiramis looked at him. He keeps almost the whole room cluttered up, until he got to the desk and found the book he was looking for in a small drawer.

After that, Viggo said goodbye to Semiramis and Kiara leaving them confused as he closed the door. Viggo went back to the dining room, came to his seat, and sat down. Then he opened the book that Kiara had given him with a complete compendium of runes and passed the leaves.

-Usually- Viggo said by way of introduction -handling the runes requires a broad understanding of the meaning and structure you want to form. However, there are runes that have an effect of their own since they are linked to a specific meaning. In that case, there is Kenaz "<" that provides an "illumination" more associated with clairvoyance. However, it is not the only one-

Flora and Tatsumi positioned themselves at Viggo's side without understanding half a word of what he was saying.

Continuous Viggo -in that case, there are also Sowelu runes like an "S" but more in the form of a lightning bolt. And also, the Isa rune that is literally written as a capital "I", which is associated with ice and blizzard. It has other, more philosophical meanings, but for now I don't understand them. However, occupying both runes in the same object...-

Viggo took a glass from the table and brought it closer, noticing while small fragments of glass were scattered above the table. He made no trouble for himself and concentrated on the glass in front of him. Viggo stood up and gestured to his brothers to walk away. Once they walked away, Viggo carried his mana-laden finger on the tip of the yolk and wrote the Sowelu "S" rune on the surface of the vessel. The next instant, the shiny rune and glass took a reddish hue and began to melt. So, before the experiment went bad, Viggo brought his mana-laden finger to the yolk and wrote the Rune Isa "I" over the Rune Sowelu "S". The Isa rune began to emit a light and the two rune forms repelled each other, blowing up the vessel.

The glass flew, but Viggo and his brothers covered themselves with their arms to protect themselves from the impact. However, there was no damage. Viggo moved his hands to look at what was happening and what he saw were the crystals suspended in the air. Then under his arms and looked at the surroundings, only to find Kiara standing at the door of the dining room. She extended her hand in the direction of the crystals, so Viggo assumed that she controlled them.

-Very witty- Kiara said with a sly smile.

Viggo smiled embarrassed by the dangerous experiment as Tatsumi, and Flora smiled the same way and scratched their heads.
