Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

Chapter 795 795 Distribution

This much mana imbalance really would be an issue, but there was an easy solution.

"Well, in that case, let's start sending the coins out. The Cubes should have enough stability that they won't affect the outside world as badly as a massive amount of money." Wolfe explained.

The Fae Prince sighed. "Meanwhile, I will isolate this room so that the mana doesn't leak and imbalance anything. We can only send the coins as fast as the trade caravans go out, but how will we distribute the cards?"

Wolfe gestured to the cases of cards. "They're empty, they have no charge in them, so send cases of them with everyone, and pass them around town. Get everyone to turn in their mana crystals for coins, and they can charge the cards with them. As they spread around the continent, things will get more balanced."

A Dark Fae Prince, an Elf with flat gray skin and shockingly white hair, gestured to the charged cubes.

"Are we willing to trade for the cubes themselves? Fae Coin for the charge cube? A basis for trade between the two nations." He suggested.

"I suppose that is the point of the cubes, isn't it?" One of the others joked.

"Indeed it is. The Fae Courts, the Demon Royals, and the other nations. It will give us a solid base to work with when we have their coins in exchange, as we will be able to trade back and forth on even terms." Wolfe agreed.

"Well, I can say for certain that while the coins are normally worthless at court, due to the power level of the Fae Court, the Cubes will hold some real value thanks to whatever you made them of. What is that, by the way?" The Dark Elf asked.

"Rank Seven Mana Crystal. The current charge would be around a million units, but they can hold much more. It is a particularity of my mana density that creates the crystals like this, but for the sake of mana storage, it works very well." Wolfe explained.

The Ancient Demon snorted out a suppressed laugh, sending fire out of his nostrils.

"Forget the charge, the cube itself is priceless. If it wasn't for the Arrays restricting the mana transfer rate in and out, it might actually fall under the prohibited weapons treaties. Of all the things that I expected, that wasn't one of them. What will happen if someone tampers with them?" The Demon asked.

"They become useless. It's all one intertwined Array, with an anti tampering layer. It might be possible for a Royal to get around it, but other than that, trying to alter any of the effects will just render it useless, unable to bring mana in or release it. If you keep trying, the Arrays will break, and the mana will harmlessly leak out, as if you were just pouring money on the ground." Wolfe explained with a smile.

"That should be safe enough, They're not going to end up in the hands of common folk anyhow. The only ones who will need that much money capacity are the City Protectors and Guardians, the others will never have more money than the cards can store." One of the Fae reminded them.

"And you can have multiple cards if you like. There is no rule against it. So you could have a separate card securely stored and not need to carry your whole life savings with you." Wolfe added.

Wolfe created a small ledger book, and had each of the people in the room sign for their cube, as they were all regional guardians, who would be coordinating huge amounts of trade in the near future.

At that moment, Forest Grove was technically owed massive debts as the biggest lender in the world, but the ones here would be able to pay it all back in a short time if someone pushed the matter of the value of their money. The only one that didn't immediately take a cube was the Incubus. He had every intention of buying a cargo plane, and now that he had local money, he could have it made for him.

"Take the cube, and bring it home with you. The payroll will need the filtered mana if you're going to switch currencies. Remember, it can't be recharged by anyone, except me. The Witches already have the technology to see how much of a charge they hold, measured in Units, but the cards will be self-

explanatory."

"How so?" The Incubus asked.

Wolfe took one out of the box closest to him and held it up. It was a plain black card, with a golden logo on it. The logo was the mana storage inscription, and as they watched, Wolfe filtered mana into the card, then handed it to the Incubus.

"Read the outside of the array. What does it say?"

"Six hundred. I see, it tells you how much is in it without needing to verify it with a crystal checker. That will be incredibly popular." The Incubus replied, thinking of all the ways that this new form of money could make life easier than a purse full of coins.

Some of the Demon Realm coins were actually larger than this card, made of large gold and platinum strips, so carrying it wouldn't be much of a change, except in the reduced weight.

"Whoever holds one of those is essentially a bank branch now. They have the money repository, and they will bond to you if you inject mana, so even if they are stolen, they won't do the thief any good. One of the Witches suggested it as a way to prevent theft and inheritance fraud." Wolfe explained.

"Wonderful. We're all rich. Well, rich in another world. But it just occurred to me that we're all going to have to work now." One of the Fae sighed.

"Just take a spare cube and give it to your adjutant, then you can just transfer a month's funds at a time if it's too much for a card." One of the others suggested.

The Demon woman with feathers in her hair smiled. "Brilliant. I can check the books monthly and do the transfers as always. Thank you, Mister Wolfe, we will get this all sorted out and ready to go in the next few days. My land is in the northeast, in Taminxadia. We are scheduled to get our first Cargo plane soon, so it will be very convenient for us to be able to pay by crystal."

That was about as far from Forest Grove as it was possible to get on the continent, and a mostly human nation, Wolfe thought. Though with the strange name, it might be witches. She was almost ready to leave when the other Guardians realized that she could open portals anywhere.

"I don't suppose you can send us all home before you go, could you? It would be a real time saver." The Dark Elf asked with his best pitiful look, which was a strange look on his ageless face.

"Of course. Please let me know where you are on the map. I don't know everyone's territory yet." She reluctantly agreed.

An interdimensional portal wasn't easy, and they had just channelled a huge amount of mana for an hour. She wanted to go to bed, not work more.
