Vania's favor

Ikky could have been called lazy, but he preferred to stay in the city, trying to resolve the issue of magic circles. By the time John had managed to reconstruct the type of magic circle used on Alpha, Orbin was a little further behind with the analysis of the sygaldry used, and Memnon had already bombarded them with several reports on how to optimize energy exchange rates based on certain variables.

The magical society only needed to figure out, with Ronin's help, how to engrave the circle on Ikky, who, given his power, was the perfect candidate to be the first of all the players.

The dwarves were busy; on the one hand, they were planning what the ideal embassy would be like, something worthy of their dignitaries and kings, and on the other, they had to build the new barge.

The river was still frozen, so they weren't in a great hurry, even though they worked nonstop all day.
