My Wife and I Became Sages in Another World

The following day, after returning to the capital of Lotus, Melina and I had to split up since people needed our help in the north, but we also couldn’t leave the final relic alone.

I was taking Vespera, Yoru, and Gina with me—we were going to need to be a bit stealthy when moving around the Northern Empire, so I was a bit puzzled about what to do with Athena.

However, the bear didn’t want to separate from her cub, and since Apollo was going with Melina’s group, I told the mom to go with them and offer her support.

Melina’s group had Arashi, Carli, Nessa, Athena, and the cub Apollo, which made me feel pretty relieved as I knew they would protect Melina with all of their strength.

Before we said our goodbyes to the king, I put a bit of a good word for our friend Keiko, saying that our quest wouldn’t have been possible without her.

Technically, it was true—she made it much easier for us to look for the relic in her nation.

I mean, if we didn’t know her, we would have probably found a way to get it either way, but it felt much better to have allies that were willing to help us.

After we gave our farewells, I gave Melina a goodbye kiss and used the magic quartz to send me to the location where Bjorn and Magnus were.

The warriors from the north were, somehow, still on a boat on their way to the Northern Empire after they left Guanghua the same day as us.
