Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King-Chapter 833 Big Surprise

The workers hurried to set up a podium and stage for the official announcement while Wolfe worked on getting ahead on the card orders so that they could keep moving smoothly while the announcement was ongoing.

Seeing them moving in the background would be a nice touch for the cameras, and nothing would assure the people quite as well as seeing the work being done live on the news.

But Wolfe wasn't the only ones with plans to impress the people. The Advisor had also been working on a surefire way to ensure that she gained acceptance, and she had already planned out the majority of her renovation of the Fortress.

She was going to need Wolfe's help with some of it, as she was mediocre with lightning, but other than that, she would be able to start refreshing the entire city within the duration of the official announcement.

The basic infrastructure of the city was a series of centuries old inscriptions and witch spells, many of which were already beginning to fail faster than they could be repaired. But right now, she had three powerful witches at her side, a Magi Saint, and a lot of stored mana to work with.

Not just in Wolfe's Mana Cores, though that amount was prodigious enough to do the job, but in the cubes that he was making. She had managed to pilfer one to examine, and if she could convince the Magi to help her fill one that wasn't for money, they would have all the power they needed to upgrade the city today.

The problem was, people kept talking to him, and she didn't want to interrupt, even if it was just a mental message.

But the official announcement gave her just the opportunity that she needed.

[Magi, I need a cube full of energy to do the renovations more smoothly, can you make me one that isn't for money? I will use it for storage to keep the city's lights on.] She asked in Wolfe's mind.

Wolfe nodded, and the Fae left Reiko's side to go pick up a cube from Wolfe.

Once she made it over to him, she winked and began to feed him mana which felt like the breeze off the ocean, with an overtone of freshly cut grass, which Wolfe fed into the modified cube. It wouldn't be redeemable for cash, it was just mana storage now, and he had even changed the colour of it to a pale white so that it didn't get mixed up with the golden regular versions.

The actions didn't go unnoticed, as the amount of mana transfer was immense, but nobody was brave enough to leave the scene of the Council setting up the meeting to ask the two of them what they were doing.

"That should be enough. I will have to borrow you and your three witches for a few minutes as the others talk, but this will be enough to rebuild the power transfer spells, recreate the green spaces, and the lighting. Then cast an illusion on the ceilings to make it look like they're outdoors, and redo the roads in a more pleasing cobblestone instead of this ugly asphalt.

The houses I will leave alone, but I want the witches to cast a Garden Charm over the whole city, so the home gardens will start to output at a more suitable level.

The human nations need a huge amount of food, and they don't have witches to feed the spells, so the more that the Fortress grows inside, the more that they can sell of what grows outside." The Fae whispered to Wolfe with an amused smirk.

She was looking forward to being able to show off, and the effects of her magic would be both immediate and profound. freeweb(n)ovel.com

"This is going to be hilarious." Ella whispered as she joined the group, having only caught a bit of what was said, but easily able to guess what they were planning.

Cassie and Priya weren't far behind her, and Reiko was almost ready to take the stage and begin the formal announcement.

That meant that Wolfe and Arthur would have to join her to do the signing, but the mana transfer to the cube would be enough to get the process started until Wolfe could devote his attention to feeding the Fae Magic and renovating the city.

"Add a restoration spell to the mix. I know that the Witches can use it, and it returns things to their undamaged state. The buildings in the lower levels are in trash condition, but if they were repaired, it might not be so bad." Wolfe suggested.

The Advisor shook her head.

"I will go through every level and completely renovate it over the next few weeks. Once they see the basic outline today, they can plan for what to do with the homes. I think that the Coven Leader has a housing initiative in the works, and she is going to make a big spectacle of the upgrades once you are gone."

Reiko needed all the good publicity that she could get. If she wanted to take credit for the Advisor's enthusiasm to remake the city into somewhere that wasn't horrific for a Fae to live, she was more than welcome to it. None of them would call her out on the plan, and nobody in the lower levels would object to a freshly built apartment instead of the shanty towns and hovels.

Not only would they be cleaner, with proper amenities, but they would be more space efficient.

"When you talk to her, suggest that the deeds to the apartments be given to the shanty town residents on the lower levels. They don't actually own anything, it's just informally built in what was originally intended to be storage space and service corridors." Wolfe explained.

"I saw that in the plan. There used to be whole fields down there. I will talk to her and see what we can do about bringing that back. Tall apartments with lots of green space might be good, or it might make them angry. Humans are unpredictable, I never really understood them." She agreed.

"Don't worry, I doubt that anyone does. Including the humans themselves."
