Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King



Once everything was on the cart, Ella gave it a shove with one hand, and the cart began to easily roll across the floor, much to the astonishment of the new staff.

"The carts are enchanted. Just load them with as much as you can, and you'll still have no problems pushing them up the ramp. It's going to take a while to load a full container, so we might as well get to work."

Even with the aid of magic to move the supplies, it still took a fair bit of time and a lot of hand gestures to get everything moved, but with the Faerie's help, they would at least be able to communicate inside the outpost.

"Alright, Miss Faerie, what do you need from us in order to activate the spell to let everyone communicate?" Wolfe asked.

"The defensive spells should be enough. There is no need to make this a Fae spot to block the curse, only to increase the mana density and activate the Fae Magic defensive spells. They are enough to block out the degraded curse that prevents communication." She explained.

"Alright. Let me know when you're ready then." Wolfe told her with a smile.

"Just feed me all the mana that you can through my Witch. That should be enough. No, wait, I forgot that you're like that. Feed the mana to me, and I will filter it through my Witch for the parts that need Witch Magic." The Faerie amended.

"I'll do one better. Sit here on my hand, and you can have free access to my mana while you cast the spell." Wolfe suggested and opened a path to trickle mana into her that would let her pull to the extent of his mana flow.

The Faerie cheered, and her witch looked a bit panicked as a torrential flood of mana filled the air. The tiny Fae was crackling with magical energy as it overflowed and rippled off her, creating tiny lightning bolts of pure Mana while she shaped the defensive wards around the outpost.

Then the witch collapsed to the ground with a curse and a flood of sparkles from her aura that showed that her Familar had taken over the bond for the moment using the excess power that Wolfe had granted her.

That was an outcome that he hadn't expected and had momentarily forgotten was even an option with how well the Faeries got along with everyone.

Then, the wards around the room began to form, filling the room with the feeling of natural magic and comfort.

"All that is left is for you to add a Mana Gathering Array to keep it fed, and we're all good. I put an avoidance spell on the region as well so that anyone who isn't a resident of the Frozen Wastes or the Mountains will be forced away and redirected, much the same as when they fly over the Forest. 

The Grand Dutchies couldn't find their way back here even if they wanted to. The Faerie bragged, then released the hold on her Witch's magic, leaving the young woman gasping in shock and lying on the floor.

"You little shit. Do you know how much that hurt?" The witch complained but only got a raised eyebrow in return from her Familiar.

"Oh, this should be good." Wolfe heard Ella mutter as the two stared each other down. 

Wolfe was not expecting to see a showdown between a Witch and a Familiar who wanted to break free today. In fact, he was still somewhat shocked that the Faerie had even been able to use his power to do it when their deal was very specific about the power being for the spell.

But then he realized that was exactly what the Faerie had done; she had created the defensive spell, and with it, she had protected those in the area from mind control, which included whatever her Witch had done to enforce the Familiar bond.

It was actually pretty ingenious on the Faerie's part, but at some point, it was going to become a problem.

If Wolfe's guess was right, that point was going to come in about seven seconds.

"Stay right there." The witch demanded as she began to cast a spell, her hands glowing with black energy from a rapidly forming curse.

The Faerie somewhat obeyed, as she didn't move, but while she remained on Wolfe's hand, she wasn't idle, and layer upon layer of defences formed around her tiny body.

Then, at the last instant, the tiny flying Fae dodged, and the curse hit Wolfe before rebounding and bouncing back to the Witch due to their relative power levels.

There was no way that a First Rank Witch could put a curse of subservience on a Fifth Rank Demon. Even if he wasn't objecting to it, the spell simply wouldn't work. But Wolfe also had an armour spell active, as he never actually wore real clothes, only the projected images that he had made with magic.

[Slave Gained] 

[Total Slaves] 1

Wolfe looked down at the displayed message from the Inheritance, while Cassie and Ella both looked at their own arms before their faces turned to pity, and they looked at the stricken Witch.

Wolfe glared at the Faerie. "Now you've made more work for me."

The little Fae shrugged. "Minor technicality. She was going to be working here anyhow. You might as well have her work here forever. If I understand what happened right, her spell rebounded, right? So whatever she tried to cast on me was reflected onto her instead?"

"That's right. Only it didn't make her my Familiar." Wolfe complained.

The Faerie flew over and examined her Mistress, or former Mistress as the case may be, with a variety of spells, then got a cruel smirk on her face and began to giggle. The sound was gentle and musical, not at all matching the look on her face.

"Oh, that's rich. She cursed herself into a slave to Wolfe, and unless you brute force it, which might kill the slave, only the caster can free a Slave from the spell, but a Slave can't free themselves. So she's stuck." The Faerie laughed.

One of the beastkin men raised his hand. "What does that mean in practical terms, not magical mumbo jumbo?"

"It means that she can never say no to Wolfe, ever, for any reason. She can't betray him, and she will feel personally insulted if anyone insults him. But she can't do anything about it because the curse she's under prevents her from harming others." The Faerie explained.

"So, in short, she's the model employee? Got it." The beastkin replied, no longer concerned about the topic as he returned to work.

They quickly had the container loaded and ready to be attached to the helicopter while Cassie and Ella finished getting everything set up inside, including small things like utensils, since they didn't have a full-time kitchen here like they did in the Den.

"We've got the garden sprouted, the spells active, the small items created for daily life, and we're ready to take off whenever you are," Ella informed Wolfe with a salute.

"Alright, let's get to work. Good job, everyone. We will see you soon."
