Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

Chapter 1135: 1135 Downtime

The Pentacle members were more than capable of deciding for themselves what they would advise Wolfe on, so all he had to do was wait around and sort through the thousands of requests that they had gotten from the guardians and leaders when they were here for the Coronation.

Everyone had been taking notes, and those notes were intended to give them a decent idea of what regions of the world needed what sorts of improvements.

In theory, it was great, but in practice, Wolfe had not made anything resembling a complex enough chart to keep track of everything.

The obvious answer was to set up a map room. A planning area that was large enough he could make magical notes and put them over the map itself, colour coded by order of urgency and the type of issue.

Infrastructure, food, natural resources. Those were the three basic categories of concerns, then he colour coded them from green to red.

As he read through the concerns, Wolfe added them to the map with the intention of linking them to larger regions. Then he made a secondary whiteboard list on the wall for suggested projects, covering entire regions which needed something.

The most common were clearly materials for industry and food. But some regions had been completely neglected by the One World Army as not worth improving and maintaining.

They had withdrawn almost all of the witches, and left only the ones that were stuck at Rank One. They didn’t even leave all the weak witches, and those regions were struggling to even maintain healers before the Guardians showed up.

Naturally, they had requests for nearly everything, even more than the Frozen Wastes, who had learned to take care of themselves.

The basics in those overseas regions were all magical, without enough witches to maintain the spells, so they had originally been maintained, before some policy changed.

The government had destroyed most of their records when they first thought that the Guardians were an invading army come to get payback for their actions after the great war.

That made it somehow easier to change things, as there was no proof of longstanding traditions when the witches wanted to argue, but it also left the Guardians with no idea of what had been abandoned, and what sorts of hidden spells might still exist.

They had found dozens of regions that had been overrun with monsters, and signs that not all of them had been evacuated in advance, but from what they could tell, nobody knew what happened, or even that there were ever people there.

When a region was lost, they had simply scrubbed it from the records so that there was no suggestion that the Witch Saints weren’t competent leaders.

That was coming back to bite them now. The rebuilding efforts kept finding ancient ruins that still had spells active on them, and most of them were lost magic that the modern Witches and the Guardians couldn’t identify.

So, there were hundreds of requests for Wolfe to come look at spells and determine if they were a good thing before the area was disenchanted and destroyed for upgrading.

Those were all marked low to medium priority, with requests for resources to continue the manufacturing of essential materials being medium to high.

Threats to survival, such as monster tides, extreme food shortages, plagues and the like were all marked as high to urgent. Those would be the next week’s projects after Wolfe got everything sorted.

Twelve hours into the project, Wolfe realized that there were only two areas that didn’t have any complaint tags. That was the Forest Grove district, and the monster controlled wilderness regions.

Everywhere else had made at least one request for intervention.

That seemed a bit excessive. He might be the King, but they were responsible for their regions, they shouldn’t need outside help with all of this.

That gave him another category to put on the wall. “Things that the Guardians just need to get in contact with each other for.”

Writing it out so clearly made it obvious that although there were only a few hundred of them in the world, the Guardians didn’t really know each other all that well.

They were jealously competing with each other and territorial, but they didn’t know much about each other’s skills, and some might not even have contact details for their neighbours.

There were cell towers nearly everywhere now. They were already common in the human areas of his continent, and through the more populated regions of the other continents, but they were filling in through the less populated areas and the Coven controlled regions now.

“How is it going?” Cassie asked as she walked in.

She was beginning to show her pregnancy clearly now, and it was giving her a happy glow that Wolfe couldn’t get enough of.

“I think that we need to hire a switchboard operator to put the Guardians in contact with each other. So many of these issues could be solved by working with the others in adjacent regions.

But other than that, there are a huge number of small things, largely covering whole regions, and a few that have been overlooked and need major work.

I didn’t realize how much the other continents had withdrawn their resources to keep the urban areas stable, but they need some serious help. A few barriers and growth spells with a mana gathering array will go a long way, but there are hundreds of villages on four continents that need them.

I wonder if it would be better to just make them in advance and pass them out to the Guardians who requested them? They can take care of the regions they wanted to claim, and we can supply the magic they can’t cast on their own.

The problem is that they don’t have enough magic users, and they can only use a third of the spells that they need. The Mana Gathering array is Magi exclusive.” Wolfe explained.

“Alright, I see what you’re going for. We can do the premade spells, and then hire a switchboard operator, as well as personal assistants. Though I suppose you could use your bodyguards as personal assistants, to send out the spells for you.” Cassie suggested.

“And listen to them complain that they’re too busy to do their jobs? It will be better to choose an assistant. I’m thinking that Rail or Dana would be suitable options, since they have people skills and we already trust them.”

Cassie was suspicious about the suggestion of their local Succubi, but they really were the best candidates.
