Chapter 807 807 Home Again
The helicopter took off from the Academy grounds without any further fanfare, and headed straight for the Fortress City. They had a lot more to discuss now that they knew the enemies from another world had been attacking within Morgana Coven Territory, not just due to the overall threat, but for the need to regularly check in with every single location, so that an incident like the Academy didn't happen again.
Most villages wouldn't have a barrier like the Academy did, that would bring itself back up after an attack without any of the witches helping. So, they would be vulnerable, even with the best of defences, and these human magic users were proving to be quite resourceful when it came to developing magical items.
Wolfe briefly wished that he hadn't destroyed the one that the team leader was using, as he was quite interested in how they were made, but there should be some items left after the battle that he could look at when he had time.
Originally, he hadn't thought that they were anything special, but if they could be used to let one mage bring down an equal rank [Kind Intentions] barrier, then they deserved a more thorough examination.
"Reiko says to land on the upper balcony. They apparently have a helipad created there for us." Ella informed him with a gesture to the radio.
The pilot circled, easily finding the spot, thanks to the large circle and the H marking in what used to be a garden. Wolfe wondered what was up with that, as the Coven Council was typically quite vain and wouldn't give up one of their luxuries so easily, but it was a good sign that they might be ready to get on board with the trade proposals instead of arguing for how things used to be.

Wolfe hadn't checked in on his family in ages, though he had brought a number of them to Forest Grove for training under the Fae and the Demons. They were doing quite well in their magic lessons, and with their growth now that they were in a suitable environment, and some of them would want to go home to the city eventually.
The helicopter set down on the pad, and a large group of witches, as well as a surprising number of men, filed out of the door to meet them. In the lead was Reiko, with a huge smile on her face that the others couldn't see due to their positioning.
The witches admired the delicately engraved armour plates as he took them out and carefully fitted them to Reiko, taking his time to make final adjustments with his magic.
"It is a custom of my people for first meetings between potential allies. You present them with armour, so that even if things end badly, they will still be safe." He explained.
That made Reiko smile. The armour itself was a priceless treasure, and once it was on, she was wrapped in a Rank Six armour spell that nobody in the city, except for her current things end badly, they will still be safe." He explained.
That made Reiko smile. The armour itself was a priceless visitors, could even conceivably damage.
"This delivery. These herbs. They're not just leaves, they're cuttings." One of the witches gasped.
The difference being that cuttings could be used to regrow an identical plant to the original, so the rare herbs with extremely high quality that had been harvested in the fields beneath Forest Grove could grow and flourish in Morgana City.
"I thought that while the fields near the city are under my protection, you might still appreciate the gesture." Wolfe informed Reiko with a smile.
"The fields are in wonderful shape, thank you. They're also yielding much more than expected, thanks to the increase in mana levels, and we have managed to avoid food rationing for nearly a month now." Reiko agreed, then gestured toward the open door.
"Now, how about we go inside and discuss the terms of your proposal over tea?"
