Chapter 698 698 Loyal Friend
"Mister Wolfe, welcome home. Can you see? I qualified for the advanced classes early, and now they're teaching me new healing magic from the Fae." Katerina called out as Wolfe approached.
"Oh, new Fae healing? Now that's quite something, how did they manage that?" He asked.
"With the new Fae from the Rank Three Familiar Summoning, and a couple of the higher ranked Faeries that have come to visit. They donated a lot of materials devoted to nurturing white witches so that we could get along with them better.nove(l)bi(n.)com
Even my Familiar broke through at the same time that I did, and the other said it was really impressive at her age. I think that helped because the very next day they had more books for me to learn, and they're all healing.
Plant healing, water healing, people healing. All the sorts of healing."
She was so excited that her fluffy black ears were twitching wildly, and Wolfe couldn't help but to pat her head and straighten out the mess that her hair was in.
"Well now, that really is spectacular. What sort of healing did you want to specialize in? Or did you want to learn them all at once?" He asked.
"All at once. Forest Grove has the Mana Purification, so I waited on the cleansing curses and evil spirits part of the book, but being able to heal everything else sounds incredible."
"How do you heal water, though? Like purify it?" Wolfe asked.
"Sort of. Sometimes it is purification, and sometimes it's a water elemental creature that needs healing but doesn't respond the same as a fleshy creature to normal healing spells. The plant one is the same, it's not for plants, but for things like Dryads. I heard that you brought back a dryad."
"She's half dryad and half Demon Princess. Her name is Nimue, and she's a little younger than you are, but not by much." Wolfe replied.
Wolfe made his way into the spire, where Millie hurried to catch up to him before he got on the elevator.
"You're really popular here. Like, not as a leader, but you're everyone's friend." She commented.
"That's just how things developed here. I was in charge because I was the only one who could do everything that they needed to stay safe in a hostile environment that was under attack by foreign countries, and instead of being the authoritative leader, everyone just began to look to me for answers.
I would say that it has worked out well enough, since nobody questions my position, but the people of Forest Grove aren't really big on strict rules." Wolfe agreed.
"Well, I would like to say good work. It usually takes a lot for a leader to become beloved of the people, and every species here appears to be fond of you. That's the strongest start you could ask for."
"Just wait until you meet my true fans, and you might reconsider." Wolfe laughed, leaving his bodyguard confused.
When they got to the top of the stairs, a large black dog with fire leaking from its mouth, and huge black wings nearly tackled him off the platform as Ember welcomed him back. The hellhound dropped a scorching hot rock in front of him as if it were a ball, and Wolfe smirked at Chloe.
"See, what did I tell you? My true fans are waiting."
Chloe burst into laughter. "Isn't that Cassie's Familiar?"
"It is, but it is much more forgiving than she is. See, I didn't even get yelled at." Wolfe joked as he rolled the ball down the hallway for the hellhound to fetch.
The one good thing about fetch with a hellhound was that the ball was never wet with dog drool, the fire breath dried it instantly. But that didn't stop it from smelling like dog breath and barbecue.
