Chapter 35: Ch 35: Solution to Lauren's Problem
Lauren's mission was to retrieve an item from an old influential family of the kingdom of Hejour. Her master needed that item for an experiment. That was an extremely rare item which only could be found in very few dangerous areas, the dangerous area under the control of that family was one such.
If it was possible to buy this item, then Lauren's teacher would definitely buy it. But the problem was that the old family was in no need for any more money or anything else. So they were not willing to sell anything. But there was still an option to get this item.
And Lauren wanted to use that option to get that item.
This family had a very rare plant called Rashaminthiam. This plant had many buds but those buds couldn't bloom without some external factors. After blooming the value of the Rashaminthiam flower was immense.
It could be used to create three extremely powerful elixirs, so it definitely was very valuable.
The external factors needed for the flower to bloom was for a powerful mage to pour his or hers mana inside the bud. But it was not as simple as just pouring magic power. One needed to control the magic power to only reach the special blooming channels of the flower and nothing else.
If someone made a mistake, then the whole process would fail and the bud would also be destroyed.
So, to properly do it, one needed to have extremely good control over mana and a large mana capacity. One needed to complete the whole process without break and the blooming of the flower also needed a large amount of mana.
So for that reason anyone below the platinum rank would not be able to make the flower bloom.
Even though this family was very powerful, they did not have many people with the qualification to make the flower bloom. So they decided to attract mages from different parts of the world by giving them an attractive reward for helping them by making the flower bloom.
That attractive reward was the permission to take any one item from their treasure warehouse.
Lauren was targeting that exact reward. She had an exceptional control over her magic power from a very young age. That was also the reason why she was able to use many combination spells. Even after having 2 elements it was quite tough to combine them.
But Lauren was able to do it quite easily. She was a genius in this field.
Even Rein had a hard time combining his two elements, so the difficulty was evident if a genius like him was also having problems. That family also only allowed mithril ranks or higher to try blooming their flower. So Lauren's first mission was to reach that rank to get the qualification for the job.
Now that she had successfully become a mithril rank, her next job was to finally take the challenge. But then why was she still so nervous about it.
That was because, blooming the flower was really an extremely delicate job and Lauren was not confident in her chance of success with her current mana control. So she wanted some help in this matter.
...
Rein had two solutions for this. The first one was to take the challenge himself and with his amount of magic power and mana control he would be able to make the flower bloom very easily.
And the second solution was to give Lauren an item that would help her with controlling the mana more precisely. These were the only two solutions he could think of to get the job done in a short amount of time.
On the other hand, Lauren had the intention of doing the job by her abilities without any external factors affecting her. She was in no hurry to finish this job and wanted to find a method to refine her control over mana.
Among Rein's lovers, there were two people whose magic control was even better than Rein's. One of them was Stella and the other one was as the Empress of the Xetremelia Empire, Empress Utrena. So, they would be able to help Lauren with her mana control.
So after some discussion, it was decided that Lauren would be training under Empress Utrena for some time. Actually, she also had Rashaminthiam plants, so with her Lauren would be able to try her hands on the real thing.
This was definitely the best option that would not only make sure that Lauren would be able to succeed no matter what, she would also be able to improve. This was killing two birds with one stone.
Rein would be teleporting her to the Xetremelia Empire as it was impossible for Utrena to leave her nation without a ruler.
After finalizing the plan Rein and his lovers left the inn after almost two days. Lauren was going to inform her master that she was going to undergo training under a very powerful mage before taking the challenge and then Rein would take her to the Xetremelia Empire.
Utrena already knew about her and was ready to welcome her as a guest. They were fellow sisters so Lauren would not have any problems in the empire with Utrena's support.
At first they had breakfast together as it was already morning and then they went to Lauren's inn. She was staying in a high end inn of this city. Before entering the inn they heard some commotion happening inside it.
After entering the inn, Rein saw an extravagantly dressed man was quarreling with an inn staff. He was followed by two strong looking bodyguards but the inn staff also had three powerful looking security guards behind him, so they were on a stalemate.
The stalemate was broken by Lauren's astonished shout -
"Theodor, what are you doing here ?"
Hearing Lauren's voice, Theodor turned around to greet her like a gentleman but he suddenly froze in the middle of doing his greetings and he was looking very comical.
Currently Lauren was pressing her body and big boobs against Rein while hugging his arm. Tasha was doing the same with Rein's other hand. Stella was currently walking behind him while holding the hem of Rein's clothes.
Theodor had never expected that Lauren, a super genius who was well known for having love for only magic and knowledgeable could behave like this. Even though he was seeing it with his own eyes, it was hard to believe or more like his mind refused to believe it.
Immediately he came to an assumption that Lauren was somehow getting mind controlled. So, he immediately tried to separate Rein and Lauren by pulling Lauren toward him.
But before his hands could even touch her, Rein immediately grabbed his outstretched hand and squeezed it hand enough for Theodor to feel pain.
Feeling the pain, Theodor granted and pooled his hand back. Realising what he was planning to do, Lauren looked at him condescendingly and said -
"How dare you try to touch me ? I just told you some time ago that I am not your fiancee and I also have no intention of becoming one as I have already found a man I want to spend my life with."
Saying this much to a petrified Theodor, Lauren asked the inn staff why they were arguing. The staff told Lauren that, Theodor wanted to enter her without her permission and was asking for the extra keys.
Obviously as a high end inn they give the privacy of their customers the highest priority, so they were unwilling to give him the key. That was the reason why Theodor and the staff were quarreling.
Hearing that Lauren apologised to the staff for putting him in a terrible situation and gave him a good sum of money as a form of apology. The staff was very happy with it and left after thanking her.
At this moment, Theodor once again broke out of his trance and started to question Lauren as if she was cheating with him. This was making everyone in Rein's group very irritated.
