Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King
396 396 Sheikhs in the Making
Getting a deal out of them was not going to be an issue. Wolfe could already see that the two of them were willing to do nearly anything to get the sort of charm that Ella could put on their fields to bring the much longer growing cycle that they were currently on down to under a week. With the advanced Garden Charm, the growth rate would be amazing, and with her magic, the yield per field would likely be much higher than naturally grown crops as well.
Well, almost naturally, they were already hurrying their production as much as their skills would allow, but it wasn't enough to keep up with demand.
"What do you ask in return?" The Colonel requested in a very formal tone.
"The same thing that we asked of the Myrrh Coven when we made a deal with them. If there is an attack on the Fae Forest, you will come to help defend us, and you will not attack us or our people. That's all we ask in return for our assistance.
The Garden Charm will last for decades, and we can send another Rank Two Witch to renew it if something happens to it. If you need it repaired, come to the boundary of the Forest where the river meets the trees and wait for someone to come and take your request. Once that is done, we will get assistance to you as quickly as we can.
If you were closer, we would also offer healing services, but by the time your people made a day or two-day trip to get to us, those who need healing beyond what you can provide would likely already be dead.
We can help with curses, though. We've gotten fairly good at breaking minor curses, hexes and other negative spell effects." Ella informed them.
"Additional Services are an additional charge, but you will find that we are very reasonable. We have a lot of powerful beings in the Fae Forest, and we're not short on the essentials of life." Wolfe added.
The Colonel looked intrigued. "What do you use for power? Surely you didn't build an entire power plant out in the middle of nowhere."
All of the Witches in the room laughed at that suggestion, and even Grok was chuckling behind the visor of his helmet.
"No, we use Lightning Magic Arrays to charge anything with batteries, like the Electric Motorcycles and to power the kitchen implements. It's not just nature magic that we have a lot of. We're quite advanced with the Elemental Magic as well." Wolfe explained.
"You know of the ancient advanced Arrays as well?" The Mayor asked.
"Not for every element, but certainly for some of them. A Lightning Array to replace a power grid with magical energy is easy enough though. It just needs the mana input." Wolfe shrugged.
For these villages making the transition to a hybrid way of life with more technology, power was one of the greatest limiting factors. They needed generators or some other source of electricity that was available 24/7, and unlike the city, they didn't already have that.
Ella shook her head at Wolfe before addressing the Mayor. "I am sure that he will help you with your power grid issues. He just likes to tease people until they beg him to help. I think it's actually a kink of his, but you never really know."
The Mayor hid her laughter behind her hand while the Colonel let out a snort of laughter before schooling his face back to a neutral expression.
"So, that's a Garden Charm for the Palm Oil fields and a [Lightning Array] on the town's generator? Those are both simple things to do. We will need some travel supplies as well since we haven't had time to stop and grow vegetables properly to restock our backpacks." Wolfe suggested.
The Mayor took out her phone and tapped out a text message that sent an assistant running into the room with a stack of paper and pens.
"Let's get the formal agreement out of the way, and then I would very much like to see you two work. Perhaps I could learn a thing or two about Arrays and advanced Witch Magic, even at my age.
Well, Imagine that. I'm looking forward to being taught magic by someone younger than my own children." She chuckled.
It only took a few minutes to scribe all the details of the agreement down on a single page and then make four copies of it so that everyone involved would get one, plus an original for the city's records. There would be no doubt that the agreement had been made or what the details were with everyone's signatures on so many copies, which would keep anyone from backing out.
It was mostly not for Wolfe and Ella, as their part would be mostly over at the end of the day. However, the agreement was to enhance fields to produce huge amounts of oil to sell to the Gormana industry groups, and that meant they needed verification that this was indeed part of the ongoing arrangement that the village and the mundane army had.
"Done and signed," Wolfe announced as he placed the last signature on the last page, finalizing the deal.
Then he smiled at the group. "We could make it really official and use a [Favor] spell to ensure that nobody backs out of their part of the deal."
The Mayor smiled back at him with a mischievous look in her eyes. "As tempting as that might be to ensure compliance, I would like to remind you that while I was born at night, it was not last night. I'm not going to agree to a Favor with a Demon Lord when we've already got an agreement on paper."
Ella got to her feet and gestured for Christa and Justine, who were sitting in the corner of the room playing chess on the board that had been left out on the side table.
"Let's go, ladies. You both need to see this as well. Wolfe's Lightning Array for the generator is a complex one that Witches can't use, but the Nature Magic I will be casting is something that you will be expected to cast many times in the future, even if you never make it to Rank Two."
