Chapter v 223: v 223
Casting Magic on the Mansion
Kathe was very fast . We arrived in no time .
Dozens of beastkin welcomed us as she slowly descended .
Danton must have sent word in advance .
The beastkin tribes had been given communication bracelets in order to contact each other .
The chief I had just seen last night now came over to me .
“Mister Locke . And the rest of you . Thank you for visiting us . ”
“The magic tool is ready and so I came to install it . ”
“What! So soon!”
And then I turned to Kathe .
“Kathe . Stay here and remain in dragon form . ”
“Very well . ”
“Can you take me to the center of the mansion?”
“It’s right this way . ”
I left Kathe and followed him into the mansion .
Before actually installing it, Luchila and I would search the place with magic .
“I didn’t find any suspicious devices . Did you, Mister Locke?’
“I didn’t find any either . ”
“Then it should be safe!”
And so I installed the magic tool . It required the help of several people, but that’s what Shia and the others were here for .
And through helping me, they learned more about it as well .
And it was not a bad thing to know about this, even if they were warriors or Adventurers .
“Mister Locke, is this all right?”
“Yeah . Yours is fine, Shia . Thank you . ”
“So, you do it like this?”
“Hmm . Yes, that’s fine, Serulis . ”
“I finished it, Mister Locke . ”
“You did it very well, Nia . ”
It was no wonder, since Nia often joined Luchila in helping Philly with her work .
Once everything was finished, I activated the magic tool .
“Now, if any dark ones get close to the mansion, the alarm should go off . It will make the same sound that you heard in Danton’s mansion . ”
“Thank you so much . ”
After that, I explained things like the area of effect, which dark ones it could stop, and other such details to the chief .
And then we returned to Kathe .
“Gahahaha! I will make it even steeper now!”

“Yay! Yay!”
Kathe was playing with the children . She was popular even in this tribe then .
She had lowered her head and was gently raising her tail .
While she did this, the children climbed up her head and moved towards her tail .
“He-hey, children! What are you doing to the great Wind Dragon Ruler…”
The chief cried frantically .
I felt bad for the children who might be scolded later on .
“Kathe seems to be happy about it . It’s really nothing . ”
“I am not sure about that . ”
“Yes, I do not mind! Gahahaha!”
Kathe said with a laugh . And then she walked towards us as the children clung to her .
“Are you finished then?”
“We’re done installing it . Now we have to reinforce the walls . ”
“I can help with that . You should leave the ceilings to me . ”
“Yes . Luchila and I will do the floors . Whoever finishes first can start on the outer walls . ”
“Very well!”
And so we got to work . I started reinforcing the floors with Luchila .

Then we went outside when we were done .
“Children, watch this!”
“Okay!”
“Look! See this!”
“Wow! It shone!”
Kathe had children on her back as she went about casting magic on the roof .
The children were ecstatic .
While it was all done properly, it was going slow, because she was explaining what she was doing .
“…Luchila . We should do the walls then . ”
“Yes . I agree with that . ”
And so we started to cast magic on the walls .
Kathe continued to be popular . We could hear the shouts and cheers of the children .
“Groof-groof!”
Grulf was also excited as he ran around Kathe as she flew in the sky .
Perhaps the excitement of the others was infectious .
“Do you want to ride me too, Grulf?”
“Groof!”

And so Kathe picked Grulf up and put him on her back .
It was hard to believe that he had ever been scared of her .
We watched them as they had fun and continued our work .
“I have finished casting magic on the roof! Locke! I want you to check it!”
“We’re just about finished here too . But I don’t think I need to inspect your magic, Kathe…”
Kathe grabbed our hands and pulled us onto the roof .
“Luchila, what do you think?”
I asked Luchila . It was a part of her magic education as my apprentice .
Luchila looked at Kathe’s work with a serious expression .
“I think it’s been done very well . What do you think, Mister Locke?”
“Yes . It’s wonderful work . ”
“Is that right? I am relieved . ”
Kathe said with a sigh . And then the children on her back all cheered .
“I knew that the great Kathe could do it!”
“Yes! She’s amazing!”
“Groof-groof!”
“That’s right! That’s right!”
Kathe looked happy . Her tail was also wagging slowly .
