Chapter 50
"Now that we’ve lightened the mood a little, how about we move on to what might bring you esteemed Priestesses here today?"
"Our respective leaders have asked us to establish a cathedral in the new city and to help with the construction, the senior Green robed Priestess answers. If my knowledge serves right, that’s the nature Goddess. So they’ll be likely construction and botany specialists sent for the job.
"How long would the construction take? As you could see topside, there’s a lot of work already underway and we don’t have many Mages to spare. Altering building plans shouldn’t be too much trouble though."
"Never fear, we come prepared" the senior Blue robed Priestess almost sings. Hers would be the God Of Knowledge, or maybe Wisdom would be a better translation?
"When I flew over this morning I noticed the university isn’t started yet, and I’ve got a set of plans with me that will be perfect. Big enough for 20 thousand students to attend and live in dorms on site, with a cathedral, library and all the amenities"
"Excellent. But how long would such a thing take to build" I ask, looking at the admittedly otherworldly design of white marble and crystal.
"We can likely do it before the end of the weekend. After all, we brought 6 Dragons and many talented dragon kin." A quick head count shows one mismatched body. The small black robed figure hiding behind High Priestess Lelou.
"And who might this unaccompanied young acolyte be?" Karl asks.
"Greetings Highness, this Acolyte is called Hui’Jin. I was sent as penance for failure to complete an assigned mission, please do with me what you will."
"Paperwork or ammunition porter do you think?" Jake wagers.
"Karl isn’t so cruel. She’s like 10 years old. I say personal assistant" Mary retorts.
