Chapter 224
Once we were finished casting the magic, we decided to head to the next mansion .
“Were it any other time, we would have liked to stay longer…”
“Yes, please do come again during a time of peace . ”
“Of course . Thank you . ”
We all got on Kathe’s back and then she slowly rose into the air .
The children all waved frantically as we left .
“Miss Kathe! Please come again!”
“Mister Locke . Thank you!”
“Gahahaha! Yes . I might just drop by again!”
“Stay safe!”
“Groof-groof!”
And so we headed for the next mansion .
There were 12 mansions in all for the chiefs .
As we had already done 2, that meant there were 10 left . We had to hurry .
“The next one is over there . ”
“Understood!”
Shia gave the directions . Once again, we arrived in no time .
And we were greeted warmly once again .
I said to the others,
“We’re doing the same thing . So let’s do it quickly . ”
“Understood!”
“Leave it to me . ”
Shia and Serulis were excited to work .
“I’ll do my best!”
“Yes, don’t worry . ”
“I will wait outside . ”
“Groof-groof!”
Nia and Luchila were also enthusiastic . Kathe and Grulf looked the same as usual .
I inspected the interiors of the mansion and then installed the magic device . Once that was done, it was on to reinforcing the walls .
You couldn’t do it the other way around, because it would affect the magic .
And so Kathe waited outside and played with the children .
She ended up being quite popular here as well . But that was no surprise, because dragons always looked cool .
“It finished a lot faster this time . ”
“It’s because everyone knows what to do now . ”
When we were finished, Kathe joined us to reinforce the walls and roof .
As we had done it before, we were able to do it at an increased speed .
We finished up and headed for the next mansion .
“I hope we can go to all of them within the day . ”
“Indeed . But do you think it is realistic?”

“It might be since we are getting faster . ”
“I’ll try my best as well!”
We continued to go to more mansions to install the devices and reinforce the walls .
In order to make the most of the time we had while in flight, I cast magic on Shia, Nia, and Serulis’s swords .
Of course, Shia and Serulis’s swords were already magical .
It was difficult to add magic over it, so it was just a temporary enchantment that would last 1 day .
“It’s temporary . When we have time, I’ll have Kathe and Mors help do it properly . ”
At least for now, they would be able to cut wraiths with their swords .
“Thank you so much!”
“Now I can fight! I’m so happy!”
“I will try!”
They seemed like they were ready . I was sure that they would put up a good fight against any dark wraith .
When the sun was half-hidden by the horizon .
“There is just one more to go!”
“It seems like we’ll barely finish it all today . ”
“We couldn’t finish it before the sun went down, but this is still an impressive speed . ”
Luchila looked quite tired .
She had been with me as an assistant the whole time, and we cast Magic Search and Magic Exploration together .
On top of that, we had also installed the magic tools and reinforced the walls together . So it was no wonder that she was tired .

“Luchila . Are you tired?”
“Just a little . But I am fine!”
“Cluck-cluck!”
Lord Gerberga was perched on Luchila’s shoulder . It seemed that he was also fine .
Using magic helped you grow . And she had watched me and Kathe use lots of magic .
So Luchila would have learned a lot .
Kathe continued to fly even as we talked .
This last settlement was a little farther away than the others .
“This one really is quite far . ”
“It is . It is because it is the newest out of the 12 tribes . ”
There were only so many places that were fit to make a settlement . And all of the best places that were close by had been taken .
So the newer tribes had to move further out .
“I can see it now . ”
Still, Kathe’s wings meant it wasn’t too long of a journey . Here, we were again received very warmly .
It was quite dark now that the sun was setting, but the beastkin wolves didn’t seem to mind at all .
They were able to see in the dark .
“Mister Locke . Miss Kathe . Thank you all for coming . ”

The person who greeted us was the youngest of the chiefs .
“We’re terribly sorry to bother you so late . ”
“Oh, no! I never dreamed you would visit us so soon . I expected you to be here by midnight at the earliest . ”
“That’s good to hear . Well, time is of the essence . Do you mind if we get to work?”
“Not at all . Thank you . ”
And then I said to the others,
“This is the last one . Let’s do it properly . ”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
“Leave it to me!”
“Groof!”
“Cluck-cluck!”
And so we got to work . As this was our 12th time doing it, we were very familiar with what to do .
We finished inspecting the mansion and moved on to the installation .
Partway into it, Danton contacted me through my bracelet .
‘Locke, I’m sorry to bother you when you’re so busy . ’
“What is it?”
‘Well, I thought that I should tell you that there was a dark wraith attack shortly after sundown . ’
Danton said very calmly .
