Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

Wolfe landed on the upper level of the central spire, where the majority of the other leaders were waiting for him and enjoying a light meal.

"Good afternoon representatives. I am sorry to have kept you waiting, I had to reference some information before I returned, to ensure that the idea I had formulated was actually feasible." Wolfe greeted them.

The idea had changed as soon as he heard about the best way to deal with the Dungeon Spell, but that didn't matter. He had an answer to give them now, and if he got their cooperation, they could make it work very well for themselves.

The gathered representatives were all listening intently as Wolfe began his sales pitch, and even before he got a word out, a number of them were inclined to agree, just based on his enthusiasm.

"So, our primary concern here is the Dungeon Spell. It has been hitting civilian locations, which is obviously undesirable. However, we don't want them to come here in force and in person when we could be avoiding battle.

So, what I have to propose is that we use a form of magic, similar to Kind Intentions, that will divert incoming Dungeon Spells to a designated area where we have set up trials for them. My suggestion is to create a monster preserve on the surface, and a large subterranean prison, where we could actively arm the prisoners when the portal is open, and allow them to become the test for the challengers.

Now, obviously we can't put truly dangerous sorts in there, or it will just be a bloodbath, and they won't take the bait, but if we fill it with criminals under Rank Four, and a few magical items for the invaders to take as loot, we should be able to create a repeatable dungeon scenario for them."

The Ancient Demon who served as one of the two Representatives for this continent frowned. "And what do we get out of this? That just sounds like making more work for ourselves, with a prison to staff and monsters to keep contained."

Wolfe smiled. "I suggest putting cameras all through the region. That way, when it is invaded, we can watch in real time. Reality television for the masses. Nobody really dies, as the spell will reset time at the end, so we can just let them go wild and see what happens."

The old Demon looked at the elderly Elven Prince beside him, and they both smiled.

"Reality Television, you say? I think that we might have a few ideas on how that could work out for us. But who will we use as guards?" The Elf asked.

"That is the second thing I have to suggest today. I went to learn a magic that creates a form of golem with thoughts and memories, a proper magical assistant. We can create Golem bodies of various ranks and have them work as the prison guards.

When the invasions come, we can have them pass out weapons to the prisoners, and serve as the bosses for the invaders to defeat." Wolfe offered with a smile.

The Elf nodded. "I have a different idea. Instead of prisoners, who would naturally be working to find a way out or attacking the guards, why don't we send ferals?

The Feral Fae are vicious, but territorial. If we relocated them to the region, along with a large group of feral Demons underground, in a sprawling and enchanted complex that had all the resources they needed, like monsters to eat and fresh water, I think that they would actively help your magical constructs in the process.

They love to fight. I mean, love it. They won't even care that the time gets reset at the end, as long as they have the prospect of fighting."

The old Demon nodded. "I think it could be fun. They're a nuisance everywhere, but if we could relocate even one tribe and get them to stay put, it would bring you the gratitude of whatever kingdom you took them from."

One of the other Continental Representatives raised his hand.

"Might I suggest that we vary the terrain, both above and below ground? It wouldn't take too much with a bit of magic, and we could put up a self-sustaining barrier over the area to keep everything contained.

If they see different surroundings most of the time, they will think that they are actually getting random results. Plus, the feral tribes will have variety to keep them happy."

The Feral Tribes were barely considered intelligent by the Demons and Fae. They had let their animalistic instincts take over, and lived a completely wild life, but they did still have a rather advanced intellect, usually.

Keeping them from getting bored in their surroundings would be a good idea.

Wolfe thought for a moment before answering. "How about if we create the underground inside a mountain, and then have the outdoor area spread over the mountain and through a valley?

The valley sides will naturally keep them contained without testing the barrier, as it currently does for the monsters that live in the area.

I remember flying over an area that might work well. It's deep in the mountains, and as far as I know, nothing has ever been there, so it shouldn't interfere with any relics or historical sites."

There was a lot of discussion in the room, both about the advisability of the idea, and the general wisdom of the plan to just allow the Dungeons to keep coming and not to find a way to prevent them entirely.

Someone did eventually ask that question.

"Why not block them with a spell?"

Wolfe shook his head, and saw that the older Demons and Fae were doing the same.

"If you want to block it, you have to overpower every caster that they can muster for the ritual. They will think that there is a problem and keep using more mana until they wear out the defenders. But if we allow it to go to a location we designate, we don't have to resist at all. The Dungeon Spell will set everything right after they finish their incursion.

That's why we're suggesting the feral tribes. They won't have many advanced magical items for the invaders to take. But we can have the supervisors give them some to make the fight a bit more spicy. A few extra defensive spells and magical swords will change the balance, but won't be a big deal if they do invade with looted replicas of the swords." The elderly Elven Prince explained.

There was another short discussion, before the Continental Representatives came to an agreement.

"Alright, so how are we going to do this, and where?"
