Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King-Chapter 782 Dressed Up

It only took them a moment to get ready for the spell, just long enough for Wolfe to come up with something good for them to wear.

For Millie, it would be simple. A silver and black evening gown with a white cloak featuring ornate silver embroidery along the outside edge. The embroidery was actually a series of spell inscriptions, the simple utility magic spells that Wolfe added to the clothing for the Magi Women and the female Demons who couldn't use much magic of their own.

Millie was one of them, she could only use a small selection of Fire Magic as a Wrathbringer, but it was enough for her duties, and she had never been bothered about it before.

For Priya, it was an intricately layered purple under gold royal gown, complete with a white fox fur trimmed purple cape and a collection of silver ornaments studded with amethysts. Then he added a small golden tiara with a large amethyst in the centre, and used magic to braid her hair into the best version of Cassie's favourite formal hairstyle that he could manage.

"Would you like your hair done as well?" He asked Millie as he finished.

The Demon's laughter echoed through the tunnel. "I think that I'm good, My hair is short enough that a bit of gel is enough to make it do what I want."

Priya created a mirror covering an entire wall, and turned about to admire Wolfe's handiwork.

"What is all this, then? People are going to think that I'm taking over the Coven Leader's position." She sighed.

"But you look good. Sometimes they need to remember that they are in charge only because it would be inconvenient to displace them. Even the Siren that they brought along understood that much, and she's even more powerful than you are." Wolfe countered.

Priya sighed. "I know things are a bit strange here, but the stability is good for everyone. There has been so much going on and so many of our soldiers deployed to the villages to ensure they have witches to upkeep their daily spells that it is causing chaos in the city.

First, we lost so many in the war, and now the children are awakening early, and everyone is advancing outside their accepted spot in the rankings, so military discipline is a mess. If there were even more upheaval, we might have a complete breakdown of social order."

Millie nodded in understanding. Even one or two Demons that advanced faster than they were expected to could throw entire families' inheritance schedules off and cause massive businesses to become unstable as the heirs fought for position. If that was happening to every family in the entire city, it would be a nightmare for those trying to keep everything running.

"Where's your sense of adventure? Remember when we first met, and you were happy to be on the front lines, defending the nation against a monster tide? Back when you were not even halfway through Rank One, and you were willing to lead a force of barely awakened witches against an incoming human army with tanks and poison gas? This is just a bunch of old women and unsettled commoners, it shouldn't be more than like eighty-five percent worse than that." Wolfe teased his flustered friend.

Both Priya and Millie were laughing now. Millie at the description of how they met, and Priya at the vast underestimation of how difficult it was to deal with Coven Politics when they weren't terrified that you would just kill them all and replace them.

Dealing with Wolfe was an entirely different matter than dealing with her. After all, everyone assumed that he was going to want reparations or vengeance for what happened to his people at some point, so they were always cautious around him. But her whole family was in the city, and the people who worked under them were one of the larger voices trying to influence every matter that came to the council.

She couldn't just blindly crush the ambitions of her own family members, no matter how much they irritated her. It was bringing her enough headaches when she was simply being fair to them instead of playing favourites.

"Are you not going to change into something fancier?" Millie asked as Priya prepared to lead them back up to the surface.

"I like this outfit." Wolfe shrugged, looking at the black and grey Daoist style robes he was wearing.

"But look at how fancy you made both of us, you should have a bit of decoration or something." The Demon insisted.

Priya shook her head. "Here, the Magi were known as reclusive ascetics, and they never wore jewels or decorations unless it was necessary for a spell. It might seem improper, but his outfit is precisely what they expect him to be wearing, and a quick shave and shower is all it takes to become formal, since the clothes made by an armour spell won't wrinkle.

But I will gladly take the extra clothing instead. How about it, Wolfe? Will you make me another half dozen dresses for future occasions? Less formal than this one, but save them to a coin for later."

Wolfe laughed and created a handful of coins with a tree on one side and nothing on the other. He copied the inscription for the outfit she was wearing to one of them, and then focused and made five more, before creating one copy of Rail's favourite miniskirt and jacket with nothing underneath as a little prank for whenever she wanted to try the others on.

"There you go, a copy of your current dress, five semiformal outfits, and one special one. You can thank my friend Rail for the last one, she wore it to work every day when I was in the Demon Realm, and I have gotten fond of it." He explained.

Priya was never a patient witch, and as soon as Wolfe handed the coins over, she immediately sorted through them to find the special one, which Wolfe had made in silver instead of steel or Gold so that she could tell the outfits apart with a glance.

"Oh, it's Rail's business suit. She has to be the most stylish Succubus I've ever seen, even if she is a little odd and formal." Millie cheered as the suit appeared.

"You can see my underwear." Priya informed Wolfe in a dry tone.

"It wasn't intended to be worn with any, but now that I've seen it, I think that I will have to tell Rail to try it, that's a good look." Wolfe replied with a smile.

"I will save it until I have a blouse handy. Now, let's get up to the top of the city before the old women get bored and start plotting to keep you here."

Wolfe extended an arm for her to take as Priya changed back into the formal dress, and then lifted the three of them with Gravity Magic to glide down the tunnel and back out into the sunlight, half a kilometre from the Fortress City where the tunnel ended inside a military fort.

"I see that they still trust the people of the Wastes just as much as ever. But at least they made the gates big enough for delivery trucks to bring everything back into the city. You will probably start seeing major cargo shipments in the next few days, as the gardens of the villages were looking healthy when I visited. They won't hesitate to ship underground instead of over the surface, so you should probably warn whoever is watching the connection so that there aren't any misunderstandings." He reminded Priya as they flew away.

"I will mention it tonight. Maybe it will make for a good conversation changer."
