MAKING FOOD FROM ICE
"Don't worry, I've developed a strain of new crops that are cold resistant. Use the lanterns that I gave to you to sow the seeds and transplant them once the seeds sprouted. Once transplanted and settled, the plants will not be killed by the frost until harvest", I told Gagarine about the miraculous seed I developed to withstand the winter environment.
"Are you serious. This will save our people", Gagarine told me.
"Yes, and you will continue to supply your grains to us, exclusively", I told him.
"Of course", Gagarine replied to me with tears streaming from eyes in appreciation for my help before he added, "If there is anything else that you want from us, just ask. We will do anything to repay your kindness to us."
"Actually, there is something that you can do for me. It is something that will help you and your people too", I told Gagarine.
"What can we do for you and us?" he asked me.
"I need you to build a militia to eventually take back control of Trogdol kingdom from the bad seeds and the undead", I told Gagarine.
"But we are just merchants and farmers", Gagarine protested to me.
"Don't worry, we will help you. You'll also have the support and recognition of the Church too", I replied to allay his doubts about his ability to complete my mission for him.

After the demon army left Drachia kingdom, the cold and freeze that came from Rizea became the main problem for the kingdom. This was an existential problem because all the agriculture in the kingdom couldn't exist anymore.
I've manufactured many lanterns using my crafting skills called the Radiance of Agni which could cover a large area with endless infernal heat from Hell that could melt the creeping ice.
That is a life saver for many.
But the Radiance of Agni was extremely expensive, costing many millions each in auction, keeping it out of reach from many.
"Why won't you just give the Radiance of Agni to the people. They need it for farming and general livelihood", Cassandra asked me.
"People in the Ten-Kingdoms practices magic, so they can survive in the cold", I replied to her.
"But the plants and crops couldn't survive in the cold, master. Templar's magic comes mainly from digestion of food, many people may die due to starvation", Meera added.
"Red Witch helped me discover several strains of crops that can survive in the cold, provided we have the know how to grow them. I've given the seeds to Gagarine to grow in Trogdol, together with the grains we grow in Nyx kingdom, they will provide us with all the grains we need in the future", I told them.
"Why not grow the seeds here in Drachia kingdom? There are many farms here," Ratatouille asked me.
"Well, almost all of the cities in Drachia are now protectorates of the Church. The Church would want high protection money for the privilege. If the kingdom's agriculture is ruined by the ice, there wouldn't be enough money for the church. The Church had to accept the situation. I didn't kick out the demon army to enrich the fat Eunuchs of Elis, will I?", I explained to them and asked.
"So, you want the whole kingdom to be poor, so you pay less taxes?" Cassandra asked me.
"Yes, we control the grain trade so we will make enormous profit from it, leaving little money for the people to pay taxes. So, they'll have to pay less taxes while we make lots of money", I told them.
"The people may starve if they can't pay for basic food", Cassandra asked me.
"When they do, I'll give them grains for free", I replied to them.
"That is a weird and wicked way to keep your taps on the economy", Chash said to me.
"The people would also be beholden to you for your charity", Ratatouille added.
"You are both the people's Bully and Savior at the same time, master", Meera said to me.
"Orion will become the people's master if they must depend on him for their daily grains", Chash said.
"That is called Socialism in my world", I replied to them.
"Why don't the apostles just fix the damn Ice Corridor?" Rataouille asked.
"Maybe for some reason, they couldn't", I replied to them.

"I've the three divine artifacts taken from the three families in Maher city, The Banner of Supremes, the Sword of Dominon and the Dagger of Night Culling. Which of you will be suitable for these divine artifacts?" I asked my friends.
"These are divine artifacts, with our magic, we might not be able to use them effectively", Chash replied to me.
"Let's try them first", I asked them.
My friends took turns trying to use the divine artifacts. However, their magic wasn't strong enough to wield the power of the artifacts.
"We can't use these artifacts. If we got them earlier and they were used to craft our golem bodies, that might be different", Cassandra told me.
"Yes, that is correct. I can enhance your golem bodies with the divine artifacts", I told them.
"I thought we can only get one enhancement with your golem enhancement skill, master?" Meera asked me.
"Yes, that is a problem", I replied to her.
I've learned magic that could enhance my golems, but that magic could only be used once. Most of my golem friends already had an enhancement on them.
"I haven't got an enhancement yet", Chash told us suddenly.
"You are right, do you want your golem body to be enhanced with the divine artifact?" I asked him.
"I don't mind but you no longer could cast the special flame that creates golem and enhancement", Chash replied to me.
"Don't worry, I can cast the Rainbow Enigma flame now. Seamus the Meek gave me the ability although my flame couldn't create golems. But crafting an enhancement is possible", I told him.
THE CROWN OF MEDUSA START TO SING
I learned how to conjure the powerful Rainbow Enigma flame after Seamus the Meek taught me the ability in the Temple of Magic. Although this Rainbow Enigma flame wasn't efficient enough to create a new golem, there was much that it could do, including casting a golem enhancement.
So, I cast my forging flame on one of the divine artifacts, The Sword of Dominon.
"Rainbow Enigma"
My forging flame engulfed the divine artifact before extracting the divine magic inside. Then I transferred the divine energy into Chash to enhance his golem body.
After a short while, a cloud enveloped Chash.
When he walked out of the cloud, there was the addition of a large and broad sword behind his back.
"Did it work?" Ratatouille asked Chash.
"Let me try it out", Chash told us.
So, we went to an empty hill where Chash would demonstrate his new use of the Sword of Dominon.
Suddenly, the large sword attached to his back flew out. The sword grew to twenty times its size before striking the small hill before us. To our surprise, the hill was broken into two by the powerful sword.
"Wow this is so amazing", Chash said to us excitedly.
The broken hill destroyed by Chash's powerful sword split into two, one part was engulfed in flames, while the other part was frozen.
"Is this the manifestation of your skill?" I asked Chash.
"Yes, this is my skill now, Dominon of Ice and Fire, that uses the magic of the divine artifact", he replied to us.
"This Dominon of Ice and Fire is the equivalent of a peak Yellow tier Legendary magic", Meera said to us.
"With this divine sword I can finally hold my own with the Darklord or the Spider Queen", Chash told us.
"What about the other two divine artifacts? It is a waste not to be able to use them", Ratatouille asked me.
"Let me try the banner", Rinna asked me suddenly.
"Are you sure you have enough magic to control the banner?" I asked Rinna worriedly.
In this world, magic is gathered by humans into the heart, the bone, the blood, the mind and the soul. Rinna's magic was the last kind.
Rinna has enormous magic in her soul, but she wasn't a templar or magi. She doesn't make use of the magic of her heart. Her magic came from her soul.
"I won't be using the banner directly. I'll try to augment it into my serpent", she replied to me.
Rinna could augment her conjured serpent with powerful Tesseracts of the Valhalla which could be no less rare than our divine artifacts.
It was more than probable that she could do so with the Banner of Supremes.
------
Rinna and her shamans meticulously prepared an intricate enchantment within the sacred confines of her temple. The chamber, bathed in the glow of night stones, revealed the delicate lines of the enchantment that covered the space.
As the chanting began, the soft illumination shifted into strands of light that wove and danced throughout the room. The light gained a life of its own, transforming into the colossal form of a serpent that loomed before them.
This serpent had three heads, each one embodying a facet of Rinna's soul magic.
The serpent's body was that of an immense python, powerful and unyielding. To the right, the head of a large, hooded cobra symbolized cunning and stealth. To the left, a fearsome head with grotesque fangs represented sheer, primal power.
At the center, instead of a serpent's head, there was the visage of a woman, crowned with venomous, writhing snakes—the head of Medusa, a manifestation of Rinna's own deadly crown.
With a resolute gesture, Rinna offered the divine artifact, the Banner of Supremes, to her serpent soul.
Nehess, the fanged serpent on the left, lunged forward, attempting to devour the artifact in a single, savage bite.
But the Banner of Supremes was not so easily consumed. A formidable aura radiated from it, resisting the serpents' attempts to consume it.
Rinna hesitated, uncertain of how to subdue the powerful artifact before her.
------
"It seems Rinna's magic is insufficient to subdue the magic of the Banner of Supremes", I complained to myself.
"Husband, you must aid me", Rinna told me suddenly and worriedly.
"I don't understand this magic of yours, how can I help you?" I asked her.
"There is a divine magic that protects the Banner of Supremes from being assimilated. There is only one source that can destroy the divine artifact", Rinna told me, and I understood finally.
"Alright, let me break up the Banner of Supremes for you", I told Rinna as I cast a flame over the Banner of Surpremes.
A forging flame with the color of rainbow engulfed the Banner of Supremes. Surprisingly, this soft flame slowly disintegrated the divine banner as it transformed into magic essences.
"Rainbow Enigma flame"
"Now", Rinna screamed out loudly as her Medusa crown grew like an apparition.
All the serpents on Medusa's crown reached toward the broken essences of the Banner of Supreme. These serpents basked in the magic and were nourished. In a short time, all the magic of the Banner of Supremes was taken by Rinna's serpents.
Suddenly, I had a bad thought.
Like she psychically understood me, Rinna told me, "Are you waiting for this again?"
-----
Suddenly, Rinna let her regal gown fall, revealing herself completely naked before me.
It wasn't the first time I had seen Rinna's bare skin, but this was different.
Her nakedness went beyond the physical; it was as if her very soul stood exposed before me. I wasn't merely witnessing her body; I was beholding the pure, unfiltered essence of who she truly was.
The rawness of her being touched not only my eyes but reached deep into my soul.
Before I could fully grasp the intensity of what I was experiencing, Rinna's Medusa crown began to change.
The serpents in her crown shimmered and transformed, their dark scales turning into brilliant gold. As they shifted, they began to chant, their voices weaving together in a strange and mesmerizing orchestra of magic.
The Medusa crown, now radiant with golden light, became a symphony of enchantment.
