The Two Empresses
Temporary Solutions

The soldiers are seen busy after the presence of Cerlina, Nero and Kezia, let alone the items the queen needs are large enough to be transported in a cart. Phillip who took care of it was a little overwhelmed.

"Your Majesty, are you serious about hauling it by cart? Gems of this size will not be able to be taken quickly, let alone just three days of travel" complained Phillip. Saciel tilted his head slightly.

"Eh? Aren't we going to teleport him?" tanyakanya. Phillip was open to hear it.

"Sorry, what? The teleportation? I mean, Your Majesty! This big thing needs a lot of magic too!" sahut Phillip frustrated.

"Indeed in our empire there are no powerful witches?" ask Saciel.

"Even if there is, it will not be easy to do it," he replied ketus. Saciel sighed.

"So much can't," lamented Saciel softly.

"Where is anyone able to do it, Her Majesty Queen Saciel Arakawa," said Phillip annoyed, his empty hand almost reaching for a glass to throw it right in the girl's face.

"Yes, I did it" Saciel said casually. He rose from his throne and stepped out, followed by Phillip who continued to nag until some servants who passed by were surprised to see him.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it alone."

"Dude, Phillip. Could it not be once that you did not make a sound for a moment? My head was dizzy to hear it," Saciel complained as she slowed down her steps as the jewel that became a lip was near. All the soldiers standing guard immediately saluted him.

"Please describe the magic circle as big as possible, yes," said Saciel while giving chalk to one of the soldiers.

"Your Majesty!"

"Phillip, if you have no intention of helping, shut up" Saciel said calmly. "I don't have the strength to avenge your protest."

Phillip is speechless. He sighed and just watched the soldiers draw magic circles on the ground armed with chalk. Once the circle is complete, they push the large train to be in the center of the circle. Saciel pointed his hand at the circle and drained all his power until the magic circle emitted a ray.

"Phillip, hold my hand" said Saciel. Phillip snorted and held his other hand, but what he felt was the energy in his body exploding.

"...hey, you have no intention of me.." his sentence was interrupted when his body disappeared, along with the carriage carrying the great jewel. Saciel had a satisfied expression on her face.

"Huh, with this all settled."

"What exactly? His Majesty kicked Phillip to Avant Heim without thinking about the consequences" Lao said, saluting. Saciel laughed hearing that.

"Rather than him being noisy, I'd rather just have him work at Avant Heim" he replied.

"Phillip is your adjutant, Your Majesty. How could he possibly be far away from you" lao lamented. "So is everything okay?"

"...no. I still have to find Vatra and get everything done."

...****************...

Phillip opened his eyes and was shocked when he was in the gloomy and lonely Avant Heim. The rotten scent of the wreck of the flugel greeted his sense of smell.

"Crazy, it's worse than I thought" Phillip lamented as he closed his nose. He did not realize Ilmol was running towards him with relief filling his face.

"Phillips! You're that?" greet cheerfully.

"Hey, Ilmol. You look happy" Phillip replied.

"Of course I'm happy, you brought me what this place needs. Let's take it to the square."

"How to pull this thing.sorry," Phillip replied quickly, keder saw Ilmol put on a face of horror hearing his complaint. Phillip tapped the train twice and it moved on its own, followed by Phillip and Ilmol behind. Arriving at the square, Julian was busy reading while arguing with Jegudiel.

"Ah, great. Thanks for bringing it, Phillip. I don't think it's easy to carry something this big alone" Julian said calmly, but his expression seemed to hold back a laugh.

"Whisper and just finish the business" Phillip replied. Julian immediately moved the jewel with a giant tendril on a large tower of iron arranged in such a way even though it was a little messy. Carefully place the object at the top and tie it with hard dry tendrils.

"Well, done. It's just that you're here" Julian said, staring at Phillip. "Saciel's smart to send you here, too."

"As.ah, stop. What do you need from me?" ask Phillip in wonder. Julian pointed at the tower with his index finger.

"I want your lightning to strike that thing" he replied. Phillip was open to hear it.

"Driver..are you crazy? Why would I attack that tower with my lightning?" ask Phillip hysterically.

"Duh, it's too lazy to explain. Just do it, okay? This tower is only an electrical intermediary to activate the gem. You know, it's useless to fire a magic attack straight at a gem because it can suck it up easily."

"For a moment, my lightning bolt will still need mana" Phillip replied.

"Hurry up and do it. I can't bear to see death slowly here" urged Julian. "Direct your attack from below."

"...huh. Damn my fate today" complained Phillip lirih while making a big hammer from lightning. "Resert. You could've been snatched."

After making sure everyone was out of reach of his lightning, Phillip took a swing and hit the foundation of the tower. Lightning immediately enveloped the tower, creeping up to the top and resonating with the jewel. The light coming out from the gem instantly enveloped the entire Avant Heim region. The once limp flugelers began to look better, even those confined within the gem slowly broke down its shell.

"Well! It worked!" jerit Ilmol pleased.

"It's only temporary, Ilmol. They have not yet moved away from the crisis" Julian warned.

"Although this is something to be grateful for, isn't it?" balas Ilmol's. Jegudiel flew over and saluted.

"We all owe our lives to Careol" he said.

"Enough, Jegudiel. What we did was solely to save you, so this is nothing. We still need a god to replace Deus" Phillip said.

"You think it's easy to find a god?" ask Julian. Phillip was silent, but an idea popped into his head.

"You can search all over the place, right?" he looked at Julian. The one being stared at almost hit the young man before him with a book.

"You think it's easy?"

"You can look for god entities with plants, right?"

"...if I can find it, I'll do it from the beginning" Julian replied. "Not all entities can I trace easily. There are times when they disguise themselves so as not to be tracked."

"But it can, right?" urged Phillip.

"Can" replied Julian Keki. "There are about 4 people with god-equivalent strength, but scattered in 4 regions. Which one are you looking for?"

"many too. How to choose a god who will become the ruler of Avant Heim?" chirps Ilmol.

"Avant Heim will choose" said Jegudiel. The three witches turned to the flugel.

"Avant Heim...choose yourself? How's it?" ask Ilmol.

"Can you try to resonate the power of the candidates through your tendrils?"
