Chapter 838 838 Advisor's Vibe

It took Wolfe until after midnight before he finally got all the creation of the cards, cubes and transfer funds finished, so that business could begin as usual the next morning.

There was going to be a mountain of empty mana crystal in the morning, but there were already plans for it. They were normally recharged to be used to store currency, but that wasn't the only thing that you could do with the material.

It also made wonderful batteries for magical electric devices like power tools. Now, no sane person would use a hundred credit crystal to power their hand drill, no matter that the crystal and the battery were roughly the same size. Instead, they would use a charging inscription and a regular battery.

But with so many now in surplus, and the intrinsic value gone, there were a number of manufacturers that saw an incredible market for them.

Especially the electric bicycle and motorcycle manufacturers.

Gormana was densely populated, and from what the people in Morgana Fortress had learned, they preferred two wheeled transports to get around town as much as possible. Morgana Fortress also favoured them, and bike couriers were the normal messengers within the city.

So, with a number of new workers, which the manufacturer intended to recruit from the lowest floors once the Advisor had renovated them, they would be able to expand for export.

Exporting raw materials like food was a last resort to the people of the Fortress City. Raw materials were cheap. But the knowledge and skills that went into making complex items added layers of value and employment for countless workers around the world.

Compared to the Fortress, Gormana had a hundred times more people. Even if they had a small market gap, it would be easy for the workers here to slip in and make a profit, as long as they could get the goods moved.

That was Wolfe's plan for the morning after breakfast. He would work on building the airport, while the Witches would work with the advisor on the lower levels of the city. At the moment, he was trying to explain why some of her more wild plans simply wouldn't work.New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

Wolfe took out a map to show the Advisor what he meant, and she drew a few changes onto his intended route.

"Done this way, it will more naturally funnel traffic into the Sylvan border region, which will lead them to Forest Grove and Sylvan City, while the south and east will naturally end up at Morgana Fortress.

I know that they're supposed to have their own airports, but are they big enough for the huge cargo planes?" She explained.

"Most of them, definitely not. But we have smaller sizes for more routine shipments and smaller passenger flights. The Demons have become huge fans of those, and I hear that they're planning a bulk order once the larger planes they ordered are all delivered."

The Advisor laughed and shook her head. "The Fae call the idea Debauchery Airlines. I can't believe that the Incubus Kingdom was the one that decided to monopolize air travel in the Demon Realms, and managed it based on the promise of discounted flights to the land of lust."

Wolfe shrugged. "If it works, it works. It's still no match for the portal system that they have set up all through the Realms, but per passenger, it's cheaper."

The Fae's face took on an eager smile as Wolfe touched on a bit of magic that she had an enthusiasm for. "People don't realize that just because the portal is open doesn't mean that it costs nothing to move through it. Every person passing through destabilizes the portal a little more, and you have to work to keep it balanced.

If you're an invading army and don't care where you end up the next time you try to go somewhere, that's all well and good. But if you want to visit the same city every time, someone has to keep the portal working smoothly, and that's a highly skilled trade."

And that was half of the reason why Wolfe hadn't tried to establish a network here. The other half being that he wasn't personally skilled in Portals, or any sort of Space Magic, and he would have to blunder through emulating others' spells with the assistance of Elemental Affinity, which made it even more mana inefficient.

Hopefully, the people of this world didn't go all portal crazy in the future. The airport was looking spectacular by the time that they finished, and it would be an incredible gathering spot for merchants from all over this side of the Continent, with the capacity to land and stage multiple cargo and private jets at a time for international events.
