Chapter 36
Jake and Mary seemed quite keen on disappearing as soon as we got back to base, but Lala was faster. In her hands she held a large, gift wrapped present with a bow on top.
’To Celebrate Your Mating’ The label read. The two thanked her profusely and then ran off to somewhere private while the rest of us gave our mission summaries to Lala so she could write the official reports.
"I heard the good news. Will you all be remaining one team, or would you like to split?" Narishma came to greet us as we were headed to the elevator.
"One team is the perfect size I think" Karl decided after looking around for objections.
"If we’d split into smaller teams we’d have to band together anyhow to take on the missions that are popping up, so we might as well stay as is, our composition works well as is."
"The perimeter wall is looking pretty fancy" I decided a change of topics was in order.
"Right? They wanted it to look like one piece white marble. The outer shell should be raised within the next day or two, then the internal structure of the city wall is to follow before we start on above ground construction. The first storage and receiving bunkers are already formed, just waiting on entry roads."
This is happening quickly. I guess that’s what happens when you’ve got a hundred or more Earth Mages to throw at a project.
Lala grabbed my hand and started dragging me towards the elevator, obviously done listening to the conversation.
