982 982 Preparation

While the creatures of the Lowest Planes spent days poring over the spells that had been used to create the new city, the residents of Forest Grove had already spread out to begin to fill the new housing and open shops in the outer city.

It was still somewhat barren, with only a third of the space occupied, but everyone understood that would change quickly once the rest of the world learned that they had space again. Truthfully, it wouldn't be just one world, as there were going to be visitors here from the Fallen soon, and many of them would want to set up permanent facilities here in Forest Grove, away from their competitors.

They had been making plans for a month, and the next festival was almost ready to start. Wolfe had promised them ten prime spots in the inner festival grounds, but now there were two more areas within the city limits that would be available for vendors, giving everyone much more room to set up.

Wolfe hoped that it didn't change the eternal party atmosphere of the city. With the shops sharing space, it made sense for everything to be open at all hours of the day. But if they could just spread out, how many of them would only be open for half the day and then closed all night, or only open after dark?

The feeling of empty stalls and closed vendors would put a damper on the party atmosphere, and Wolfe wanted to avoid that. They had sent out a notice that there would be three times the space as last month available, but there were only so many vendors wandering the Frozen Wastes or available to come from the other nations.

The response had been positive, and everyone was looking forward to seeing who would come. They had even sent out missives to the human nations, who had been working diligently on technologies that would work properly in high mana environments, often magic powered devices, that they were eager to get to market.

The Frozen Wastes would be a great market test for them, and the success of their works would make it easier to hire more mages, which would increase the distribution of magical technology within the formerly mundane technological nations, who were running short on natural resources.

"I have a request for you. Do you think that there are others in your world who would agree to willingly teach students here? We need more professors, and I would rather not start a big fight with some magic using world to capture them.

I know that King Petros is working to consolidate your world into the Fallen Empire, which extends our peace treaty to your world. That means we're no longer at war, and we have an agreement in place to hire foreign workers." Wolfe greeted the man, getting right to business.

The old mage thought about it for a while, then nodded. "If there is an agreement, I think that I can get my Tower, the group of mages that I trained with, or at least the ones who didn't join the army and get wiped out in the attack, to come join Forest Grove.

They have skills, but they don't like fighting, and they don't have a lot of money. Coming here to be teachers would bring them a level of prestige that they lack at home, so there should be at least a dozen volunteers out of the three hundred left."

Wolfe smiled. "Tell them that if they come in large enough numbers, I will build them their own tower here, and help them stock it with whatever they need to get started. If I form a portal spell, do you have the knowledge to guide it to your home location?"

The mage nodded and smiled. "We have a teleportation circle in the tower. If you can cast a portal spell, we can open it and hold a joint meeting with the others, so they can decide whether they want to come over."

"Then that leaves us with one major question. What was the time difference between your home and here? If I open it now, will it be the middle of the night there? Or a reasonable time for a meeting?

I would like to have teachers in place by the end of the week, before more students show up from all over the globe. We're processing applications now, and there are far too many of them for the number of teachers we have."Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
