Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King-Chapter 954 Field Trip

?By the time that all the Nobles were back with their spouses, assistants or servants, whoever they had chosen to accompany them on a diplomatic mission to another world, the sun was beginning to set.

In Forest Grove it was only a little after noon, so they would have plenty of time for discussions, and the gathered mages were excited enough that it was a good thing it wasn't late night in Forest Grove. They were going to need time to sight see and settle down before any serious meetings could begin.

"Everyone ready? I will open a portal to my home, and we can spend a moment getting accustomed to the local environment before we consider doing anything serious. There is a bit of a time difference, so it is only afternoon there." Wolfe explained.

There was some excited chatter, and Wolfe opened a portal large enough to walk through, using the portal to the trial instance to bridge the worlds again.

He stepped through first so that nobody made any mistakes about whom the visitors were. Portals weren't common within Forest Grove, and they were usually associated with invaders. 𝔣𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖜𝔢𝔟𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖊𝔩.𝖈𝖔𝔪

Cassie and Ella were waiting there to greet them, along with a dozen or so opportunistic merchants, who had gathered to welcome their guests as soon as they heard who was coming.

What they had done was to have the young witches make an arts and crafts project of dried flowers woven into a braided string necklace, and then enchanted it with a refreshing charm, which would make the wearer's fatigue fade away, leaving them feeling energetic and well rested.

The charm wouldn't last long, but it could be recharged. It was mostly just a gimmick to welcome guests and make them feel that the town was special.

The Nobles laughed as the assembled beastkin placed the flower necklaces over their heads, and looked around at the town, which was bustling with activity this close to the markets.

There were far more people here than usual, and Wolfe looked to Cassie and Ella for answers.

"It's the monthly market festival weekend. We might have lost track of time, but they didn't. The party is just getting started."

That wasn't as big as the seasonal festivals that served as mating events, but it was still the busiest weekend of the month in Forest Grove.

Thorin was looking around in wonder at all the detailed sculptures, and the detailed stonework that went into the statues in the park where they had arrived, when Wolfe heard a sharp smack of flesh on leather.

A red - bearded young Dwarven woman was smirking at the blushing Thorin, who she had obviously just slapped on the ass.

"Hey, short and beardy. How about you sneak away from this bore fest and come spend some quality time at the forge with me?" She asked.

Wolfe just laughed. "See you later, Thorin. We won't be finishing anything tonight, so have fun."

The female dwarf took that as permission, and dragged the not unwilling master armourer away toward the underground entrances where the forges were.

"What the hell just happened?" One of Thorin's apprentices asked, looking at Wolfe, confused.

"Master Thorin just got invited on a date. Don't worry, we will still show you around to the forges a little later. Actually, do we have anyone who works in the forges here? We can split into smaller groups and explore, then the hosts can get everyone to their assigned rooms.

Cassie, Ella, if you can pass out the room numbers, so there is no confusion." Wolfe suggested.

The witches shook their heads at the antics of their residents. They should have known that would happen. Some of the species, especially the Dark Fae and the Lust Demons, were very forward with their desires. They would have to warn the guests before someone had an altercation with a Succubus who didn't understand that they were unfamiliar with the ways of the Lust Demons.

"Wait, before everyone goes, I really should warn you about a few things. For example, there are Demons here in town. They are not enemies, and I won't appreciate any altercations. But also, the Lust Demons' ideas of clothing are a bit different from others.

As are some of the Fae's traditional clothes.

You know what, if you see someone wearing incredibly skimpy clothing, just assume it's normal because other than some of the witches who like full robes, there are plenty of people here who are barely clothed even this late in the autumn."

As he finished his speech, a laughing Bear-kin woman walked by in short shorts and a crop top that showed copious amounts of underboob.

Her body was completely furred, so she didn't need clothes to keep warm, just for decoration, but the Noblemen were still staring at her in shock, as from their lower vantage point, they were looking up into her cleavage.

"I think you understand now. The Fae Forest around us is a tropical climate area, so you may wish to discard some layers from the formal attire. I assure you, nobody will be offended.

If you wish to obtain some local fashions, either for casual wear or for souvenirs, there is a large market right next to us, and this is our monthly market festival, where merchants from all over the region gather.

From what I can tell, we have over two thousand stalls here from three different countries. No, make that four, as I sense some from Myrrh Coven here as well. Once you finish exploring the market, you can check the public areas underground, the spire restaurant, and the elevated walkways, where most of your rooms are located.

Those of you above Rank Five will have rooms in the underground areas, where I have set up a mana gathering array to increase mana density. I find that it is more comfortable to sleep with the extra mana, so that is where the higher ranked visitors rooms are."

There was a whole wing dedicated to that now, freshly constructed by the Earth Fae after the last festival. It was under Wolfe's wing, and relied on his mana gathering array, but it was accessed only through the common areas, and not the separate entrance that was the original way down to the underground at the base of the tower, or through the Witch Hut, which now served as a healing potion vendor.

Petros looked around the area, using the enhanced senses that came with reaching the King Rank. "You really have quite the setup here. But that ball floating above the tower, what is that? I've never seen anything like it."

Wolfe laughed. "That's a spell core. There are a number of layered defensive spells in it, and it has been enhanced by Dragon Magic. It's quite the marvel, and it gives a nice soft glow at night, so the city is never pitch black."

"We will need to talk about that later. I have questions." Petros sighed, then looked around the town with eager eyes.

"But first, I want one of those flower printed shirts."
