Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King-Chapter 819 Eclectic Advisors

After the dinner ended, Wolfe and the others went to the balcony where the helipad had been created to wait for their guests. It wasn't like the city would be difficult to find in the fading light, but with the Familiar Bond, Stephanie would be able to easily home in on him, and standing outside would make the proper landing spot much clearer when she was close.

But they weren't the only ones that were outside waiting. The Coven had sent some of the Advisors of their own to help with the escort and any luggage that might need to be moved, not realizing that they usually travelled very light, as most of what they needed could be made with magic on the spot.

If they were here, the Coven Council would have realized that it was a terrible mistake to send their advisors out to meet Wolfe, but as it stood, they were safely back at home, with their minions doing the unpleasant work for them.

"Good Evening, Patriarch."

"Mister Wolfe."

"Snow Demon."

"Saint Noxus."

One after another, the advisors greeted Wolfe and Reiko sighed in frustration. They weren't even that respectful to her. But they all had one thing in common, other than the men. They had been picked because they were powerful enough to be a threat to the Coven if they weren't aligned with the Council.

But how did they get so powerful? They had all had a run in with Wolfe at some point last winter.

The men were from the Crime Families, part of the deal to keep things running smoothly after the rebellion, but Wolfe was practically a hero to them as well. Not counting the Noxus Family Advisor, who would naturally see Wolfe as the head of his own Family.

"Now that you've finished kowtowing to the Saint, we have a mixed group of witches and Demons inbound, who will be staying in my wing of the Coven Leader's residence. It is the best place for them, and we will be meeting early to discuss the clauses of the agreement between Forest Grove and Morgana.

You are all welcome, along with the other Advisors, for this round of negotiations, and we welcome your input into the amendments that have been proposed." Reiko informed them.

The advisors nodded, then one of the witches who had referred to Wolfe as the Snow Demon smiled. "I hear that you have been treating Miss Mia very well."

She was part of his second Pentacle, but he really didn't get the time to spend with them lately. At least not nearly as much as he would have liked, but if she had been saying good things, he wouldn't question it.

"I have been entirely busy working to treat anyone as well as they deserve, but she seemed quite content in Forest Grove the last time I saw her." Wolfe replied.

The witch laughed. "To think, of the two sisters, one got drafted and one got promoted to Advisor, but it was the one on the front lines that made out the best. I heard that she's nearly as powerful as the ones you've brought with you. It's been a bit since I last got a letter, but she was Rank Four then."

Cassie smiled at the witch. "We're all Rank Five now. That's how the balance of the spell works, it tries to even us all out. It was a bit of a rocky start, but things are really looking up for us in Forest Grove."

"Why do I get the feeling that half of my city is actually more loyal to you than to me already?" Reiko sighed.

One of the men bowed politely toward her. "Permission to speak freely, Coven Leader?"

"Of course."

"It is probably much more than half. The lower levels all know that he's the one who put the Noxus boys in the fields with automatic rifles and a new barrier, the middle levels know that he's head of the Noxus Family, and the younger witches from the military practically worship the ground he walks on after he introduced the method to purge the damage from the nerve gas and the Bloodline Curse." The man explained. freeweb novel.com

Reiko nodded. "And he helped the Coven Leader get to Rank Two. So most of the other witches in the city are thankful for his work to restore our power. I suppose it makes too much sense for them not to. Alright, forget that I asked.

Once they are here, we can all go to bed because it's going to be an early morning and a late night tomorrow as we sort out all the legal language and the fine details."

"That's what happens when you let the lawyers get involved. I bet everything was perfectly readable before they edited it into a hundred pages of gibberish." One of the witches laughed.

"It was eight pages long and written so even a Fae toddler would understand most of the words." Arthur agreed when Reiko hesitated to answer.

"You too?" Reiko asked as the Demon joined in on the fun.

"Of course. We're all on the same team, or we will be once the deal is signed. Don't worry about it, lawyers annoy Demons just as much as they do witches. A comma here, a misplaced word there, and suddenly, they've changed the meaning of your words around worse than the Fae." Arthur informed her.

"Just don't tell them I said that., They'll bury me in complaints for a year and a day. They always have too much staff with too little to do." He added.

Wolfe felt the magic as the group approached, and created fireworks in the air over the city with Fire Magic. He could feel Stephanie laughing at him, but it was just as good as any flashing light, and it got them headed for the correct side of the city.

"They're here. I believe that Arthur has met most of them already, but I will do a round of introductions for everyone." Wolfe explained.
