Chapter 980 980 New City Spaces
The next morning, it looked like half of the population had gathered in the common areas, ready to assist with the improvements that would build the outer cities. Wolfe hadn’t realized just how many people had been packed into the city long term, as they had come and stayed with friends until more long-term housing opened up.
It had left every home filled to capacity, with even some of the guest rooms being repurposed, under the pretenses that they were just visiting, so the Witches didn’t give them trouble about booking them.
“Alright, I can see that everyone here is excited about the expansion, and we will do another round of room and space claims. The same as last time, remember the guidelines, and the fee that the city charges to ensure that the shop space with storefronts isn’t being misused or wasted by those not doing business.
Now, I will create an array above the city, and then everyone can add mana to it. The process will be guided by the Ladies of the Pentacles, with the assistance of Saint Gregor, who has taken a day off from his duties as a Continental Representative in order to help guide the process.
Prince Johan of the Elves will be assisting him, as will his sister, the Huntress Khalifa.”
The locals waved at the two familiar Elves, feeling assured that their needs would be taken into account now that there were even more familiar faces in the group guiding the process.
Most of the mana would most likely come from Wolfe, but he wasn’t capable of using the nature and Fae Magic that would be needed to build an entire city out of a Fae Forest in a matter of hours.
The massive array began to form over the city as Wolfe lifted those guiding the spell high above the trees on a platform of Gravity Magic, so they could see what they were doing, and properly create the new city according to the plans.
Wolfe could feel the world shudder a little at the amount of mana that was being transferred into one spot, emptying all the stored mana that the residents had gathered in advance, other than what was in their financial savings, as they had been warned in advance not to use that for the spell, as it was already marked with Wolfe’s aura and would disrupt the balance of the spell.
It wasn’t anything he couldn’t fix, but they didn’t want some overzealous resident blowing their life’s savings on the improvement when it wasn’t necessary. Wolfe alone had enough power to accomplish the task.
Deep in the Lowest Planes, a security camera feed alerted a bored guard.
“Sirs, you are going to want to see this. That Magi is doing something crazy again.” He called out to his supervisors in the next room.
“What is that? Is he combining multiple types of magic into a single spell? Is he trying to blow up his planet?” The supervisor asked.
“We have no idea. Yesterday they had a meeting on a construction project, then went to bed early. This morning, the major characters just woke up and came here after gaining sustenance. The action makes no logical sense.” The security officer complained, flailing his tentacles.
The other Eldritch beings gathered around, staring at the strange array and trying to make sense of it through the distortion of their interstellar monitoring spell.
“It looks like a mana concentration array, but there is no spell on top of it. Maybe they really are making a bomb and are planning to pour all that raw mana through a portal to an enemy location? Should we warn that mortal, whose people borrow our power?” One of the supervisors asked.
“No, the Magi is getting along with the new leader of those Mortals. I don’t think he intends to kill them all or reshape their continent. But what are they doing?” Another replied.
Then Wolfe gathered everyone on the platform in a circle, and began passing mana to all of them as they wove dozens of spells into the array, building it up until it mirrored their desired result and only needed to be implemented to build the new city.
The beings of the Lowest Planes stared at the information coming in, then expanded it to show a more detailed examination of the magic that was being used. As predicted, it was immensely complex, and the amount of latent power that it contained was insane, but there were so many different spells that they couldn’t understand what the intent was.
The group also didn’t attempt to spread it out over a continent to start a slow change, so they were really stumped as to the intent.
Then the Rank Eight Fae and the Magi Saint began working in unison, and a series of trees, stone buildings, shops, defensive arrays, garden charms, even kitchen appliances, furniture and housewares appeared in the new outer ring of the city.
“Dark Lord, that is hot. Just watching that has my tentacles twitching.” One of the beings gasped.
The others nodded in agreement, and one massive being with a golden chain on gestured to the visual display. “Make sure we save copies of this, I do not want any chance of it being corrupted as we show it to the Elders.”
“Already done, Supreme Supervisor. We are saving it in triplicate, so that one copy remains in stasis and uncorrupted by duplication.” The security officer who had summoned them all to the room announced.
“Excellent. Just look at that city, it’s beautiful. I wouldn’t think that the Fae would be involved in something so elegant, but that stonework, and the eternal fires of the forges. Then there are the gems and gold woven into the living wood of the home structures.” The Supreme Supervisor trailed off, but everyone in the room understood.
The interplay of three, no four, counting Demonic, types of magic, was a thing of pure beauty to any eye.
