Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

Chapter 986 986 Academic Achievement



Over the next two days, the residents of Forest Grove slowly got used to the new features of the city. Not just the new outer city, but the four spires that Wolfe had created within it, as smaller but wider versions of the central white stone spire in the middle of town.

These didn’t tower above the trees, and each of them had a different theme. There were blue, black, red and gold towers, named after the highlight colour of the light grey stone that Wolfe used to make them.

Only one was occupied right now, Davos had chosen the blue tower for his group, but the others were being kept empty for magical research groups who were going to be arriving very soon.

The workers and businessmen from the Fallen Empire would be arriving in only a few days, and the artificer’s guild would need space to work.

All day, Wolfe had been speaking with King Petros, whose subjects were slowly driving him insane with their requests for access to the new business opportunities of Forest Grove, and the fact that the Artificer’s Guild wanted to send a research group to the city was only the smallest of concerns that they had expressed so far.

The largest was that the Fae Forest was not up for grabs, so there would be no chance to obtain an estate on the outskirts of the city as a status symbol.

Those were essential trappings of their station to some of the Nobles, and being unable to obtain a large tract of land near the city with gardens and other open areas to host parties was hard on them.

Wolfe had considered that, and there were villas in the underground levels, two stories tall with a large rear garden for parties, but that wasn’t quite the same. They were hidden from view, and you would only see them at all if you went to visit the ones living there, as the designers had placed them well away from the main city, in cul-de-sac type formations, with six villas arranged around a central park at the centre of a loop in the road.

That was perfect for most of the Nobles, and there were four other districts outside the city which were already built the same, but tailored more to either Demonic or Earth Fae fashion sense. These were closer to the light stone of the towers, which contrasted with the nearly black stone surroundings, and had decidedly human decorating styles, with architecture similar to what Wolfe had seen in the Fallen Empire’s Capital.

But some people could never be satisfied if what they had wasn’t noticeably more than anyone else, so Wolfe and the other Guardians who maintained a home in Forest Grove had decided to humble them a little, with a tour of where they were living, but only after giving them a tour of the forest apartments where almost all the residents lived, as it was much more convenient access to the city.

Even the Demons and Fae who lived in the existing villas only did that because their natures demanded either extreme environments or solitude in underground places.

But Wolfe wouldn’t be the one to show them around. That would be too obvious. So, he had made plans to spend the day with King Petros, hiding from their responsibilities, while the Guardians and others showed the newly arrived workers and Nobles around.

The craftsmen and workers who had submitted requests already had shops and living spaces prepared for them, while the other Nobles would be essentially house hunting once they arrived, as they weren’t planning to be full-time residents, they only wanted to show off with a property here.

Cassie came up to Wolfe with a smile on her face, and a message sealed with King Petros’ seal as he sat in the Library, going over the town’s financial records, to make certain that their numbers worked out, and that it wouldn’t run them out of funds, or take too much from the residents for the services that the town provided.

“Wolfe, I think that you should take a look at this. King Petros sent over a plan that we have reviewed, and there is an attached bit of reading to go with it.” She explained.

Wolfe opened the folded papers, and saw that it was a stack of handwritten copies of historic documents, notarized by the Royal Librarian who had written them. Then, at the back of the stack, Wolfe found the most important part.

At least to him.

The summary page.

[Saint Noxus,

At the request of the King, may he reign forever, I have gathered these historical documents gleaned from the records we obtained during various visits to the Demon Realms. In them, you will find what the Demons and our ancestors knew of the Magi during ages long past.

Of particular note is the third page on the fivefold Kings. They were the original Kings of the Magi Clans, and from our records it says that they would always have precisely twenty-five advisors at the Eighth Rank.

At first, this seemed like nothing but tradition, but after reviewing the records and finding a note of your mention of the Pentacles to which you have bound your consorts, closest advisors and bodyguards, I have made an interesting connection.

The true might of a Magi King is in the Pentacles, five times five. When we studied this theory with magical crystals, we found that five pentacles, properly arrayed, creates a resonance that is greater than the sum of its parts.

The King has requested to speak to you on this matter personally, so I will end my summary here.

Royal Librarian Nina]

Wolfe finished reading, and then skimmed through the pages of notes, paying particular attention to their studies on crystals and resonance.

“That is quite the assertion, and I can guess what King Petros wants to ask. I have three Pentacles now, and he will ask that I take two more, likely of Nobles from his worlds, to increase their powers and some nonsense about building an unbreakable alliance between us.” Wolfe replied.

“He did mention having some of his Nobles in the Pentacles, but he seemed more concerned about the possibility of having Magi blood among the heirs to the Noble Families than about the alliance between the two of you.

I think that he prefers it this way, as more of a personal relationship, and less of a structured political one. After all, he can’t exactly vent to his Nobles when they’re driving him nuts.” Cassie laughed, knowing that was what Wolfe and Petros had been talking about for the last two days.

“Then why would he bring this to you and not me?” Wolfe asked.

“He actually sent it to Ella. According to the cover letter, he said that she seemed like the most likely to stab someone if he tried to do it without permission.”
