Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

Chapter 861 861 Lumix House

Wolfe landed them at the large golden gates of the Lumix House, at the edge of the airfield. A few of the staff came over to greet them, but Wolfe just smiled and waved them back to work as he knocked politely at the doors and waited for them to swing open.

"You know those haven't opened in centuries." Priya noted. Uptoodated from n/0/v𝒆lbIn.(co/m

"That doesn't mean they're broken. I fixed a few of the spells here last time we visited, and there should be staff active again. Someone will answer shortly." Wolfe shrugged, just as the doors swung open on silent hinges.

"Saint Noxus, and his companions. Welcome to the Lumix House. To what do we owe the honour? The master of the house is not present at the moment, but we will be glad to welcome you in on his behalf." A magical construct in a maid outfit greeted them.

"We have actually come to discuss the spell that creates your staff. You see, the Noxus copy of the spell has been lost, and I would like to see yours to help recreate it so that the Noxus House could rebuild their staff properly." Wolfe explained.

"Of course, anything you request, Saint Noxus. Might I know who the ladies are?" The maid requested.

"These are the ladies Cassie and Ella Noxus, as well as my consort Lulabeth Priya, who prefers to go by her surname only." Wolfe replied.

"Congratulations, Saint Noxus. Will you be here for an extended time? If so, the Lumix House will arrange a wedding celebration for you." She asked.

"Unfortunately not. However, we have found a few who might still carry the Lumix bloodline, and I will arrange for them to be brought to you soon, so you can test the integrity of their heritage, and perhaps regain a living master or mistress for the house."

Cassie could have sworn that she saw a single tear of joy slide down the magical construct's face at Wolfe's words, but when she blinked the maid was back to her cheerful professionalism.

"Thank you, Saint Noxus. It will be so good to have someone from the family back here again. As long as they have some potential as a Magi, we might be able to start rebuilding our bloodline." She replied with the same professional tone as always, but Cassie could tell that there was genuine joy hidden in it that she wouldn't have expected from a magical construct.

Her third Familiar was capable of emotion, she knew. But that was made to protect the last of the Magi by one of the greatest Saints before the war, and this was just a maid spell.

They were led to a waiting room, similar in fashion to the bedroom that Wolfe and Ella had been led to the first time they were here. The spells were the same, and Cassie smiled as she saw the original version of the chair spells, and that the chairs had been intended to levitate and not sit on feet.

"I can see why you adapted this for use with regular furniture. It would freak out the others if they saw the furniture floating in the air." She whispered to Wolfe.

"A bit of modification to match the times. But these floating chairs are pretty good. Since they've already got gravity magic on them, I can move them around the room with a thought, no physical effort required. But if you see any other inscriptions you are interested in, let me know, and I will do my best to memorize them before we go." He agreed.

Most of the basics in the room were already spells that been introduced to Forest Grove, which left them waiting for the maid to return.

She came back after only a minute with a platter of teacups, and the assistant that had greeted Wolfe when he came in through the broken hallway exit along the cliff side.

They could have come that way again, but it seemed more polite to knock at the front door and wait to be let in, instead of coming in through the defensive spell that hid the tunnel.

"Saint Noxus, welcome back. I must say, I had not expected you to grow in power so precipitously. Your potential must be spectacular to have made it from a young lord to a Saint within a single year." The assistant greeted them.

"I do hope so. It has been a long time since there was a Magi King, and I have hopes to be the next one. Has your coworker informed you of the reason I am here today?" Wolfe replied.

"She has. I have prepared a sample inscription for you. It is not active, and the portions for inserting memories and spell knowledge are blank, but I believe that this will be enough for you to base a new construct on.

Are you planning to completely rebuild the Noxus Household and raise the lost continent? Or will you be building a new personal home elsewhere?"

Wolfe shook his head. "I am planning to rebuild a staffed home in Forest Grove, my residence to the south of here, but the majority of the constructs will be used as the Noxus Family representatives to other towns in the region. So, I will be casting the spell on a core, with a mana gathering array to keep it active."

The assistant smiled in understanding. "Might I recommend that you cast it on a physical suit of armour, or a golem? The larger core makes it easier to inscribe all the spells, and reduces mana usage, as you only have to disguise the object, not create a full illusionary body for them."

He and the other assistants were all ethereal, only solid when they needed to be, but if it was going to be a full-time assistant, it was better that they were solid, as they wouldn't need to vanish out of sight to avoid inconveniencing their masters.

"You know, that is a wonderful idea. I will have to try that now."
