Chapter 792 792 Looping Back

The room was a surprisingly comfortable one, in a newly built Inn that was built beside the roadway, though Wolfe wondered if there would be enough travellers to actually make it worthwhile for the place to have so many rooms.

But there was no harm in hoping for either a bustling trade industry or tourism, though Wolfe wasn't sure if they had any sort of tourist attractions here. Perhaps they were counting on the tavern by the entrance to keep the area busy and not forgotten.

A busy tavern with a hotel nearby was always a welcome addition for young couples who wanted to sneak out for an evening of entertainment that wasn't sanctioned by their parents. That was just part of human nature.

So, Wolfe woke up well rested, then took a minute to enchant the other nine beds in the hotel, as a bit of a parting gift for the staff. If they wanted to attract people to stay there, having magical beds would definitely not be a bad choice.

The whole town seemed to have gathered outside the tavern, and there was a waiting list to get a table, but they had saved Wolfe a spot in the corner of the room, where everyone could see and thank him for linking them to their neighbours.

The communities nearby had become quite tight-knit after last winter's hardships, and most of them remembered Wolfe from his visits here to the border areas, or from the stories of the scouts who had met him.

"It's a pleasure to see you all again. The road route has changed, and I have a map ready for the town leaders so that they can let the others know I'm on the way. I won't be stopping anywhere for long, but you will be able to follow behind me if you like.

The roads will be usable as soon as I finish, though I won't be putting light spells inside them, you will have to ask the Fae to do that or use the lights on your vehicles. Just remember that it's best not to use the pilfered Grand Dutchies fuel fired vehicles in the tunnels." Wolfe informed them.

"No worries, Mister Wolfe. I mean, Saint Noxus." One of the scouts quickly corrected himself. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

"Don't worry about formality. We both dodged artillery together, I think you have earned the right to call me what you like." Wolfe laughed.

"You remembered? That was a rough time, but we have some high hopes for this year. I heard that the village to the north, the Arctic Fox Kin, has a Demon leading their village, and he's worked out a deal with the Grand Dutchies to do some trade." The scout replied.

"No hard feelings, war is war and all." Wolfe replied with a polite nod for the humans.

"No offence taken. We have learned a lot since we arrived here, and the people of the Frozen Wastes have taken us in as their own after the human nations turned us away." The ranking officer among them replied.

He likely held some civilian position now, as the Foxes were also polite to him, but Wolfe noticed something off about the Foxes. They had signs of recent mana usage that wouldn't normally be associated with the people of the Wastes.

"Who made this tunnel? It looks like it has been manually mined, not carved with Fire or Earth magic like most of them." Wolfe asked.

One of the Foxes held up his hand before answering. "We are learning the magic technique now, and we used it to enchant pickaxes. Our village protector captured a mage during the battle at the Fae Forest, and she has been very helpful."

Wolfe should have known that would happen at some point. He wasn't the only one that had thought about taking prisoners, and he hadn't given any instructions to the other groups that had gathered around the perimeter of the Forest on what to do with anyone they captured.

"That is great news. I'm glad that it's working out for you. Keep in contact with the people in Forest Grove, and you might be able to improve efficiency, as they're training a bunch of people as well." Wolfe replied.

"Thank you. We will be in touch soon, once the road is finished, and we can get an appropriate vehicle." The Demon replied.

"Talk to your southern neighbours as well. They might not have a truck to spare, but they have Fae garden charms for sale. They will likely be along this afternoon to make a deal. There will also be a unified currency issued in the next few weeks, backed by myself and Forest Grove." Wolfe added.

The Demon smiled, and gestured to the side of the room, where they had created a bunch of fancy dishware and crystal cups.

"We will be ready for them."
