Chapter 519 519 Mass Production
Wolfe headed to the munition production room just after dinner and looked at the massive piles of wooden crates waiting for him to enchant them for shipment. They had definitely been busy while he was away, but there wasn’t anyone else who could set the inscriptions on the odd shape of the shells successfully, even the simple explosion inscription that they used for most of the rounds.
The version that he had bee shipping out was more powerful than the original to account for the mass of Rank Two monsters, but he had been seeing a fair number of Rank Three ones lately as well. For now, they could just shoot it a half dozen times, or use the heavy machine guns, but if there started to be Rank Four monsters around, they were going to have to update their strategies.
Kira was already there waiting for him, dressed in the enchanted Kimono that he had made for her, which would let her do all the usual day-to-day tasks that would normally be done with Elemental Magic, but it didn’t include anything like this.
“Welcome back, Wolfe. I hear you had a fun ride across the Frozen Wastes. A little birdie tells me that you had some real fun with them on the river as well.” The Kitsune Demon greeted him, wiggling her fluffy ears and drawing the attention of all the workers in the room.
Everyone seemed eager for a fresh bit of gossip, but Wolfe wasn’t going to give them too much to work with today. Not that they really needed it. If they didn’t have the details, they would make them up on their own so that the story was more interesting when they retold it.
“I did. They had a curse used on them to activate their auras early, and freeze the state of the Bloodline Curse on them where it was in their mid-teen years. That seems to have prevented a lot of the degradation that we have seen with the Witches on this continent, but it made their magic unnatural, and it annoyed the Fae.
One of the Sprites came and asked me to fix them before we got back so that the Faeries weren’t too mean to them, so I cleansed the Bloodline Curse on them, and the awakening Curse dissipated on its own.” Wolfe explained.
The Demoness sniffed and raised her nose in a fake haughty gesture.
“Such a man whore, going around pleasuring so many women in public. I’ll bet you didn’t even pat their heads and comfort them afterwards.” She teased.
Wolfe reached out and stroked her ears. “Of course I didn’t, you know that’s our special thing.”
The workers on the line giggled at the flirting, while Kira hopped back, not expecting to have her teasing turned back on her.
“Enough of that. I have a diagram here that I compiled from a number of texts in the Library. This should allow us to create an array that will produce munitions as long as there is a magic user here to feed it and target the spells. Do you think that you can make it work? In theory, it is right, but I had limited information to work with.
There is only so much in the records compiled by the Witches about arrays, so I can just do my best with what I have.” She explained.
“How would you like to join the Noxus Family, then? It comes with a fancy Inheritance spell, plenty of knowledge and even a discount coupon for a tail brushing.” Wolfe suggested.
One of the ladies in the production line cheered at that last part.
“I would do it just for the tail brushing. Look at those hands, those are the hands of a man who knows how to operate a fur brush.” The squirrel kin woman laughed.
Kira blushed at the thought. Tails were much more personal for a Kitsune. They didn’t let just anyone touch them. But it was a good deal, and being a part of a Magi Family might be the first step on the way to breaking the Demonic Curse on her bloodline, which would allow the men of the family to use a wider variety of magic.
For a female Kitsune, being a Demoness was an advantage, as they could at least use some innate magic, but for the men, it was a great disadvantage, as they lost almost all the powers that they would have gained as a male Magi.
“I agree. We can do the induction after we finish up here. Do you think that you can fix this?” She asked.
The workers making ammunition all cheered as if she had just accepted a marriage proposal and Wolfe realized that outside of those who understood how the Inheritance spell worked, which was mostly him and a few others, the invitation to join the Family would have a very different connotation.
But as usual, the message had begun to change by the time that it had even left the room, and Kira frowned as she heard a worker from the far end of the line informing a delivery worker that Kira and Wolfe were planning to start a family together, before going on about how cute and fluffy the kits would be.
“See, nothing to fear. The message has already changed so much that you don’t need to fear a misunderstanding.” Wolfe laughed.
“No, I just need to fear your wives coming after me for trying to get a head start when they hear the rumours about us.” Kira replied.
“Well, there’s always that. But I think that I’ve gotten this sorted out well enough that you will be able to use it to make munitions. If you can do it, then the Witches can, but it might take two of them to power the spell to do a whole case at once, even if they do it slowly.”
Wolfe carefully drew the inscription in the air, and then tweaked it a little until the resonance from his Inheritance Spell informed him that he had it right and the spell had been recorded in his recently cast spells log.
Then he moved it to the wall and let it engrave itself permanently.
“Try that one, it should be correct for anyone to imbue the bullets with [Fireball] spells.” He explained.
Kira poured a flood of mana into the inscription, and slowly the crate in front of her lit up with magic. The whole process took under ten seconds, and he nodded in satisfaction.
“It worked perfectly.” He informed the workers in the room.
“That’s going to take at least two Rank Two witches to do, though. I could barely keep up with the minimum mana requirements of the spell, and I’m a Rank Three Kitsune,” Kira reminded him.
“Success is success.”
Kira laughed and looped her arm through his.
“How about we head outside and go get the rumour mill started before your brides show up here to murder me at work?” She joked.
“Certainly. We can do a celebratory drink and dessert, since we just finished dinner.” Wolfe suggested.
“In that case, let’s stop off in the kitchen, the good coffee for cappuccino is hidden on the top shelf where it won’t accidentally get used for the main coffee pots.”
