Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King-Chapter 829 Will They Accept It?

Reiko assigned her team of secretaries and assistants to making thousands of contacts, including a mass message to every phone in the city's important persons' directory. That would inevitably anger a number of people who weren't on the list, but it was better than just not sending it at all, and it went more smoothly than the messages to the courier companies.

Unlike the Families, they needed details. How large, how heavy, were they sure that the numbers that the Council was giving them were correct, could that be made an exclusive contract? The basics of dealing with any massive movement of goods.

But once they began to realize the scale of the operation, that every person in the entire city, young or old, needed at least one card, while businesses would need extra, the couriers realized just how insane and impossible the task was.

More than once, they had to resort to using Saint Wolfe's name to get the business owners and Family heads to believe that this was more than an elaborate trap to have them take out their stored wealth and bring it all to the top of the Fortress City, where the most powerful witches gathered.

In their defence, under the previous Coven Council, that was a very real possibility, but Reiko had made great strides in working with the people of the city, and it was a bit insulting that nobody trusted that she wasn't just going to rob them all blind until Wolfe's name was mentioned.

But she did her best to ignore that as she led him to the auditorium and Wolfe got ready to start making the new currency.

"The first thing I will do is create the cubes that can be charged with the contents of the mana crystals. I know that some of the Council Families will need to get a truck of their own to bring their savings here, but we have enough time to deal with that today after we send out the majority of the couriers.

I think that it's no secret a number of them have their families frantically making new crystals right now, the feeling is so clear that you shouldn't have any problem locating the houses where they are working, but that will save me some effort later, as I can just load that into the cubes and adjust the ratios based on how hard they worked to scam the system."

"You know, I expected you to be more upset about that, but you're taking it all in stride." Reiko replied with a smile.

"It's not my first rodeo, and it won't be my last. I suspect that Arthur wants the same for Gormana in the near future, and that will spread through the human nations, as they all need mana-based currency to power the charms that they have been buying.

They don't have enough magic users, and with the drought and overpopulation, they're in dire need of magical assistance to keep the people fed. That is most of what got the town protectors accepted in the human nations, but once the currency is continent wide, then farmers can just pay to keep the charms active instead of pleading with the local protector for assistance constantly.

That's not going to be an issue here. There are plenty of magic users in the city now, and the number is only increasing as more of the young witch blooded girls come of age and start forming an aura."

Reiko sighed again and shook her head. "Things are changing too fast. I was never supposed to be responsible for anything, and now the old generation is being forcibly shoved to the side by the younger, but they're not willing to let go of the power that they had. f reeweb novel.com

When the Council Family Head mentioned earlier that our actions might well start another rebellion, she meant the older generation, but they haven't realized yet that the younger generation actually wants them gone, so they can make a fresh start."

"Perhaps what you need is actually more change. Recognize their experience, while removing them from the reins of power which have corrupted them so badly. A position for Elders, separate from the Council, like a group of wise women that everyone can go to for questions about historical precedent and all the obsolete matters?

I'm not sure if they've noticed yet, but once the Fae Advisor finishes renovating your city, it's not going to look anything like the Fortress City that you know, and the lower levels will no longer be the slums, even if you cut them off from the upper levels.

She is a Nature Fae, and I can guarantee that the whole city will be filled with light and plants, probably edible plants and medicinal herbs, so the Council won't be able to monopolize medicine anymore.

Plus, healing vials are one of the most popular trade items that Forest Grove produces. We send out thousands of them every single day, mostly in Rank Two and Three power levels, but split into vials instead of as a whole potion.

That is enough to deal with broken bones and most illnesses, and it is more affordable than a full potion."

Reiko looked like she was on the verge of a mental breakdown, but the Fae Advisor pulled her into a hug.

"Relax, it will all be fine. I know how to deal with grumpy old ladies who didn't get their way, and we can politely remind them that the next generation is the future, and that the future is now.

There are graduates from the Academy in the city who have nearly reached Rank Two, and even without Wolfe's help, I can give them the mana to break through in the next few days. Then we can have a whole new city, a new monetary system, and new Family Heads to finish it off. Ones that are young enough to still have open minds." The Fae assured her.

Cassie walked over with a smile. "Just don't say anything about it. Let them think that it was their own idea to put the young ones in power once they advance. The Coven has always been a meritocracy."
