Chapter 559 559 The Faeries Can Too

The younger scout hurried to get into the second buggy as soon as he had verified that it was physically complete, and Wolfe had to do the last of the enchanting, with him sitting eagerly in the driver's seat while the Witches laughed at his attempt not to have his chance stolen again.

"Alright, try not to crash, there is recovery gear packed, but it's not going to get you out of every problem, and it could be a long walk back without the buggy." Wolfe teased.

The design team Witch was Rank Two, she could have the plants pick up the buggy and move it out of anything it was stuck in without too many problems, and turning it back on its wheels would be simple, just embarrassing for the driver.

"We will be back as soon as we can. Good luck with the rest of the scouts." The witch called as the second buggy raced away.nove.Lb(In

Janet waved her hand and created a swinging chair made of branches beneath a nearby tree, then flopped down with a dramatic sigh.

"And now we wait for something to happen. They will likely still radio back, but with a team member in the buggy, we don't need to wait for the reports, they can make them up themselves and tell us afterwards." She informed the group.

She had a point. They didn't really have anything left to do out here anymore now that both buggies were gone. They could go back into the village, but it was nice out here today.

The weather was starting to cool off outside the forest, and the afternoon sun was a pleasant contrast against the cool morning air.

Since they had time and a nice, peaceful morning waiting for the scouts to show up, Wolfe started working on the permanent Inscriptions that would let others transfer the arrays he had designed for the buggies onto the chassis without him present.

It was quickly becoming the most convenient lesson that he had learned from the Inheritance, though now that they had the Guardians here, he might not have to create every new array that they needed to keep things running.

"Janet, can I get a ten-page book, with pages of ironwood or silver? I want to transfer the inscriptions, and I need something durable that won't fade away with use."

"Oh, that's a good idea. Then we can flip through the pages as we make the buggy, and transfer them ourselves. Even if you write that armour spell down, we're not going to be able to activate it, though. That's just never going to be within our capabilities." Janet agreed.

She had a point. Some of the complex arrays they couldn't use even if he wrote them down, and for the Unholy Magic they would need to have one of the Demons help them out. Kira or one of the Magi girls would do for the arrays, as they had the ability to activate the binding layer, but the witches wouldn't be able to do them alone, and only the Demons or Noxus Family descendants could use the Unholy Magic.

"That's fine. We can always get a helper to activate the ones no witch can use, and I'll make a version of the [Elemental Armour] that everyone can use. The three layered version should be possible for everyone. It's just Wind, Fire and Lightning." Wolfe agreed.

Janet quickly made him the book, a silver ring bound ironwood tome, with a crude picture of the buggy carved into the cover, and small diagrams of the locations where the inscriptions should go on the corners of the pages.

"Oh, this is perfect. Anyone who goes through the book should be able to follow the directions, and they're in order. Alright, I will get to them, and then you can make a second one for the Library so that we have a backup copy, just in case." Wolfe congratulated her.

She had the second one ready in minutes, and was off to talk to the incoming scouts, who had already heard the radio messages about the new buggies that were racing across the plains away from the Fae Forest. It was pretty obvious by the laughing beast kin in the driver's seat that it was a friendly vehicle, and everyone wanted to know more about them.

"Looks like you ladies are going to be busy. Two test units will not be enough." Wolfe laughed as he worked on the second book of inscriptions.

"Don't think that you can weasel out of helping. You're the only one here who can use all the spells that we need, and none of us have a Demonic Familiar." Janet laughed.

"Good point. Maybe we need to see if the Fae Familiars can use some of these arrays. I'm not sure that we ever asked." Wolfe suggested.

"Oh, good point. I've got a Faerie, I will ask her to come over and see if she can use the Elemental Magic. She's usually pretty agreeable." Ann agreed from over by the guard shack where she was taking reports from the scouts.

The Faerie was just down in the basement, napping during the morning rush, so she was up in only a moment to examine the book of arrays that Wolfe had made.

"Oh, most of these are possible. I would have to alter them all a little bit, since they're not Fae Magic, but I am pretty sure I can emulate most of these effects for the right price," the small Faerie agreed with a smirk on her pale face.

"Oh, if we had the kitchen make you strawberry honey cakes for dinner, would you be able to do it?" Wolfe asked.

The Faerie considered that for a moment. "At least two of them, and I am pretty sure it would be possible."

That was the best thing about the Fae, they were eminently reasonable about taking bribes. The Demons would try to trick or outright refuse to help their witches at every chance, but the Fae could be bought off if you knew the right price.

It just so happened that for Faeries, the right price was usually a volume of sweets.
