Ch. 400 Progress on the buried city

Somehow Elric managed to slog through a two hour long update on trade conditions in Gagaree and the current deployment of troops around the empire. He had already started to wish that he had gotten one of the maids to have the kitchen staff grill up more sausage and throw on a big pot of coffee twenty minutes into the meeting with his advisors.

The only thing that got Elric through it was the thoughts about how he and Magell were going to be going to the camp down in the cave to get reports fromthe explorers, and check on the process they had made first hand. But as Magell had duties of his own to attend to in the morning, so their meeting and departure for the cave was not until after the midday meal.
