Chapter 1179: Healing Waters
The last of the fountains for them to upgrade was the one at the newly rebuilt city hall, where a large crowd had gathered. Whether they were waiting for news, or just enjoying the water park in the gardens was anyone’s guess, but nobody tried to stop Karl as he went for the main fountain to start the upgrades.
There were thousands of people gathered in the park, and the first pulse of the spell was a visible change rippling through the crowd.
"Good work. But if that fountain didn’t circulate and filter the water, it would have been absolutely disgusting by now." Dana chuckled as Karl came down from the fountain, as he had been writing near the top, where it wouldn’t be easily reached.
"Well, now there is no real excuse for the city’s residents not to be clean. I am sure that Orthos will institute public baths soon enough. They used to be a thing here, but I didn’t see any new buildings that might be them.
He’s got enough to do for one day, though." Karl agreed.
"I can still hear him and the Clan Chief arguing in the office upstairs. Why don’t we head to the Guild House for the night, and then we can talk to him in the morning when he’s gotten things sorted out here?" Dana suggested.
Karl wrapped an arm around her shoulders and was about to lead her back when the dragon in question and the Clan Chief came out to the podium on the front steps of city hall.
[Come up to the stage, so we can tell everyone at once what is going on.] Orthos messaged them both.
Reluctantly, Karl and Dana joined the two city leaders on the stage, while the Clan Chief poked at the microphone, trying to figure out what it was and what it did.
Orthos smiled and activated the device with a bit of mana, then motioned for the Chief to speak.
